Chapter 13: The Five Elements Sword Formation
Of course, Zhang Xun's family did not go back to the rented house, after all, Murong Xue had only recognized his family, and he must have been with his family in Murong Villa, so he lived in a courtyard arranged by his mother-in-law. On the big bed in the main room at night, Zhang Xun hugged Xin Lan and said, "Xin Lan, prepare for your husband to tell Murong Father-in-law the truth about "looking for seeds" tomorrow, and strive to get the full help of Murong Villa. For the next period of time, you and Cher will have to worry more about the children's affairs. Xin Lan said: "Husband, you can do your big things with peace of mind, and the family can rest assured that it will be handed over to our sisters!
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xun got up and washed up, and then went to the martial arts hall to start playing Tai Chi, and only after playing three times did he go to the square outside to stand. Soon, the father-in-law who had just been teaching Xue'er Murong Villa's martial arts came out. Seeing Zhang Xun waiting here, the head of the Murong family said, "Come with me to the study!" Coming to the study, Zhang Xun said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law is now ostensibly traveling around the world, but in fact, he is looking for seeds for the revival of Wendao. There are seven seeds of this word, one for each nation. At present, the son-in-law has found the three of Lu, Qi, and Zhou Kingdoms, and this time he came to Jiangnan to find the seeds of the Xia Kingdom. I hope my father-in-law will help me. The head of the Murong family asked: "You want to preserve the foundation of Wendao! Do you have any clues about the Wendao seeds of this Xia Kingdom?" Zhang Xun replied: "The son-in-law has the guidance of a senior monk from Hanshan Temple, and he only knows that it will appear in the West Lake, and the specific time the son-in-law does not know, but the son-in-law thinks that it should be when some large-scale event will be held in the West Lake next year." The head of the Murong family said: "On the eighth day of March next year, the martial arts conference will be held once every twenty years in the West Lake, and those knights in the martial arts who use Qimen weapons such as judges' pens and folding fans seem to be your target figures." Zhang Xun said: "Hearing what your father-in-law said, my son-in-law also thinks so. I don't know if my son-in-law may participate in this martial arts conference?" The head of the Murong family smiled: "The old man still has some thin noodles in the martial arts, and Shuang'er is also going to participate in the martial arts conference, so you can go together then." In this half a year, you will be ready in this Murong Villa!"
After Zhang Xun came out of the study of the head of the Murong family, he came to the small courtyard where Murong Shuang lived, and asked her about some young knights who made pen fans in Jiangnan Wulin. Murong Shuang heard Zhang Xun ask about these and said, "The most well-known is Yixiucai and Yigongzi." Yin and Yang Xiucai Lu Shen, twenty-five years old, is good at using the judge's pen, and claims to be "a stroke of life and death". The amorous son Pan Liang, twenty-two years old, is good at folding fans and is suave. I only know the basic situation of these two people, if you want to know more, you should ask the beggar gang!" Zhang Xun said: "It's okay, it's enough to have this information." ”
It's not that Zhang Xun doesn't want to develop his own intelligence organization, but he can't stay in this Wenchang Continent for long, so he has to give up. Zhang Xun thought, "There is still half a year for the martial arts conference to start, so I should be familiar with the martial arts in this half a year." ”
The Murong family is worthy of being a veteran family, and there are a large number of various classics in the library pavilion. Zhang Xun didn't care much about those martial arts cheats, but those records such as "The Distribution of the Major Forces in the Rivers and Lakes", the Hero List, the Weapon Spectrum, the Old News of the Rivers and Lakes, the Records of the Previous Martial Arts Conferences, and so on are rare treasures for Zhang Xun to understand the martial arts. For a month and a half, Zhang Xun came to the library after daily morning exercises, and only went out at dusk to understand the situation of the world's martial arts, especially the Jiangnan martial arts in recent decades.
Zhang Xun had a hunch that he went to this martial arts conference, I am afraid that it is not as simple as just "looking for seeds", and he may encounter some emergencies. Then, he must improve his martial arts cultivation in order to cope with the past. Zhang Xun thought that he had paid too much attention to literature and Taoism over the years, and he had not worked hard in either martial arts or physical training. Although it has not reached the point of abandonment, it has not made any progress in cultivation. After all, martial arts are not something that can be achieved quickly, and there are still four months left for his realm to break through from innate to transformational realm. By the way, I'm not fighting alone, and Xin Lan and the others help me, so let's just form a five-element sword formation.
Although Zhang Xun has the inheritance of drunken Taoists, and he is familiar with the way of formation, after all, it is the first time to create his own formation. Half a month has passed, Zhang Xuncai has barely created the Five Elements Sword Formation, and the next thing is to run in. Creating a formation was not something that Zhang Xun could do now, but fortunately, it was just a mortal formation, and Zhang Xun's understanding of the five elements was second only to yin and yang, so he succeeded. Even so, after Zhang Xun came out of the secret room, he still rested for three days before he completely recovered his spirit.
The day after Zhang Xun recovered, he and his four wives came to an abandoned wasteland owned by the Murong family next to the back gate of Murong Villa, ready to practice the Five Elements Sword Formation. Since it is a five-element sword formation, and it is composed of five people from Zhang Xun, it is natural for one person to go in one line. Zhang Xun said to the four ladies: "In order to improve our defense capabilities, I have created a set of Five Elements Sword Formation after thinking hard for Half Moon. Among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, I am gold, Xinlan is wood, Xiaoxue is water, Yuchan is fire, and Bihe is earth. This is a sword technique created by me with the attributes of each line, so you should first familiarize yourself with your respective sword moves. ”
There are a total of 25 swordsmanship in this set, which are "the golden light is beginning to appear", "the hall is full of gold and jade", "the golden wall is brilliant", "the golden earth shines", and "the golden eagle spreads its wings" in the gold system; "dead wood in spring", "lush branches and leaves", "deep-rooted", "two trees into a forest", and "the same qi and branches" in the water system; "water snake spits letters", "wind and water rise", "drizzle rain", "the great river goes east", and "stormy waves" in the water system; "sparks splash", "fire company camp", "angry sea battle", "endless sea of fire" and "fire soaring into the sky" of the fire system; The soil system of "water comes to cover the soil", "spring mud protects flowers", "trapped land is a prison", "fertile fields are thousands of miles", "the earth shakes the mountains". Since this sword technique was created for the sword array, it was naturally not performed alone, but the way of the five elements of mutual growth and restraint was emphasized.
It took three days for everyone to familiarize themselves with their sword moves, and another ten days to become familiar with all the sword moves, but this was far from enough. In order to form a sword formation and exert great power, it is necessary to make the cooperation between the five people almost perfect. Zhang Xun said: "I created these sword moves to match the sword formation, but now it seems to be binding the sword formation. I don't assign you the attributes of the five elements at random, but according to my understanding of your character, I assign the most suitable attributes for each person. Xin Lan, the main vitality of the wood, the light snow, the main direction of the water, the blue lotus, the main defense of the earth, the Yuchan, the prosperity of the fire master, plus my gold main attack. Only when we follow the laws of the five elements can this sword array exert its due power. Also, when we formed the sword formation, the five of us were a unit. Any one of us is to know the other four as well as we know ourselves, and to trust the other four as we trust ourselves. That's all for today, think about it when you get back to the villa!"
Back at Murong Villa, Xinlan, Xiaoxue, Bihe, and Yuchan each went back to their rooms, and Zhang Xun found the head of the Murong family again. Murong ruthlessly saw Zhang Xun coming, and asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong?" Zhang Xun took out the "Five Elements Sword Array" and handed it to the head of the Murong family and said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law feels that his martial arts are low, and he is not enough to protect himself. The martial arts conference is approaching, the situation is unclear, and the son-in-law has a little way through the formation, so he created this five-element sword formation in order to deal with it. Father-in-law, you are a martial arts master, please give me some advice. The head of the Murong family took a look at the secret book of the Five Elements Sword Formation, and then said, "Xun'er, your sword formation is very interesting, and your idea is good. The old man only said one thing, don't stick to the sword moves themselves, be flexible, and use the moves according to the actual situation in the battle, which will be more powerful. No wonder as the saying goes, "Ginger is still old and spicy." Zhang Xun said: "What my father-in-law said makes my son-in-law empowered!" The head of the Murong family smiled: "Okay, don't flatter the old man." When you have finished practicing, the old man will personally try the formation to test the effect. After Zhang Xun left, the head of the Murong family sighed: "This kid is really a demon! ”
Zhang Xun and the four wives practiced the sword formation in the wasteland every day, or because practice makes perfect, the five of them became more and more aware of the operation of the sword formation, and the cooperation between them became more and more tacit. Two months later, the Five Elements Sword Formation was finally trained, and all that was left was the test of battle. However, at this time, it was almost the New Year, and Zhang Xun and the five of them could only find the head of the Murong family to test the formation after the New Year.
On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, at the reunion banquet of Murong Mountain Villa, Ouyang Qin, the hostess, was very happy and said: "This year, my Murong Mountain Villa can be regarded as a real reunion, Xue'er is back, and there is a lovely grandson and granddaughter, if Shuang'er can find a good match, I will have no regrets." Murong Shuang'er said: "Mother, what are you talking about this New Year, you are still worried that my daughter will not be able to get married!" After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the head of the Murong family and Zhang Xun went to the study. The head of the Murong family asked, "Xun'er, how are your couple's Five Elements Sword Formation practiced?" Zhang Xun replied: "Back to my father-in-law, my son-in-law and Xiao Xue have already preliminarily practiced the Five Elements Sword Formation a few days ago, and they can at least exert the power of the Three Elements Sword Formation. The head of the Murong family said: "It's still a pity that Sancheng is such a good formation, at least fifty percent of the power must be said to be in the past." Zhang Xun said: "My son-in-law thinks that what Xiaoxue and I lack most at present is actual combat. The son-in-law wants to practice with you twice a day after the Lantern Festival until the end of the month, once for the main attack and once for the main reception. At the beginning of February, the five members of Xiaoshuang's family began to explore the rivers and lakes with Xiaoshuang to conduct actual combat in the real sense. Wait until the end of February, and then go to Hangzhou. The head of the Murong family said, "Well, that's good!"
After the Lantern Festival, every morning after the Lantern Festival, Zhang Xun and the five of them formed a five-element sword formation to attack the head of the Murong family, and in the afternoon, they resisted the attack of the head of the Murong family. Murong Ruthless, this person is an out-and-out martial arts idiot, and his martial arts are not only the ancestors of the Murong family, almost all the famous martial arts on the rivers and lakes can be used, and he is an excellent sparring partner. In the first few days, the Five Elements Sword Formation formed by Zhang Xun and the five Murong family masters could handle it with only five success forces at most, and by the end of the first month, the Murong family master had to use more than seventy percent of his strength. This means that Zhang Xun's five-person Five Elements Sword Formation has reached the Xiaocheng realm, which is enough to fight the enemy.
