Chapter 6: On Martial Arts (I)
Bai Ya only felt a trance in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the surrounding scenery had changed greatly, and he was on a high cliff platform.
"Is it really teleported thousands of miles away?"
Beyond the high cliffs, the mountains are undulating, the green peaks are stacked on top of each other, and the white cliffs are a little stunned in the distance. He knew that this was not near Liangzhou City, which was located on the plain, with the desert Gobi Desert to the north, and the mountains thousands of miles to the southwest.
He settled down and found that the ground was a polished bluestone platform. Different from the teleportation talisman array in the Liangzhou Military City, the teleportation talisman array here is not composed of brute beast bones, and there are many stone stele pillars more than one zhang high around it, which looks like a forest of stone steles.
These steles also have teleportation runes on the skeleton of the hollow wing carving, which should have been carved by hand.
After observing the stele for a while, Bai Ya suddenly felt dizzy, a double shadow in front of him, and Wang Peng's reminder happened to be heard in his ears.
"Don't look at those stone tablets, I usually see that you are quite clever, how can this become stupid, and I don't want to think about why there are no town guards near this big array!" Seeing Bai Ya staggering as drunk, the Blood Knife Man said with some amusement, "This is all the teleportation arrays of this sect, and the formation is fused with another small ecstasy array, and you will bow your head and follow me later!"
Bai Ya suffered a small loss, and suddenly didn't dare to look at it anymore, staring down at the heel of the Blood Knife Guest, and as he turned around, he came out of the teleportation talisman array of the high cliff platform after a while, and walked down the mountain path towards the mountain.
"Where is this? Why don't you continue to transfer in the rune array?" Glancing back at the stone tablet array on the top of the cliff, Bai Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is the eastern section of the Qilian Mountains, which seems to be called the Tangshu Mountains. Wang Peng glanced at Bai Ya and said angrily, "Continuously use the teleportation talisman array? Outside the mountain here is the Huangshui River, so we went there to take a boat and go south along the river. ”
Baiya followed Wang Peng around the mountains, walked for most of the day, and then completely lost his way. He saw a lot of strange wild animals along the way, such as a rabbit with a three-petaled mouth that could bloom like a trumpet flower, an ape with a tail like a poisonous snake, a brown bear with two heads, and a three-tailed fox that could breathe fireworks......
According to Wang Peng, this section of the mountain range is close to human settlements, so these strange animals are not wild beasts, but just ordinary beasts. Although they can't hurt warriors, they are still a great threat to ordinary people, but fortunately, these creatures generally don't go out of the mountains, and there is no real harm.
The sun was setting in the west, the sky was getting darker and darker, and after the "Morning Star" hung up the branches, the two finally found a clearing at the foot of the mountain to rest.
"What's that?"
Bai Ya looked at a small leather bag in Wang Peng's hand in surprise, this thing was only the size of a palm, but the Blood Knife Man had just taken out a thick leather blanket from it and spread it on the grass, covering an area of more than ten square meters.
"This?The skin of the Sky Rat!" The Blood Knife Man raised the skin in his hand, took out a small incense burner and two bags of food from it, and threw one to White Cliff.
Bai Ya opened the oil paper bag and found that it was actually a roasted roast chicken, and the temperature was still warm, not completely cool.
"It is rare to see mustard seed storage bags on the world, but this thing is a must-have for most of the official disciples of the sect. Wang Peng took out a pot of soju from his leather bag and raised his hand to throw it to Bai Ya to watch carefully.
Bai Ya hurriedly caught the skin bag and looked at it carefully. The skin is brown with a smooth and supple surface, and the skin is thin but strong.
Curious, he pulled open the pouch and looked inside. I saw a lot of items inside, including daily necessities, a change of clothes, and some bottles and cans. To Bai Ya's surprise, these items were all hundreds of times smaller, stacked in a mess, like a miniature warehouse.
There was a layer of ripples like water waves at the mouth of the mustard seed storage bag, and Bai Ya tried to put two fingers in, but suddenly found that as soon as his fingers passed through this layer of water ripples, they became like embroidery needles, and he didn't feel anything abnormal.
"Really...... Amazing!" he exclaimed and handed the mustard bag back to Wang Peng.
"Eat early and rest, and I'll be on my way tomorrow!" Wang Peng took out the fire fold and lit the small incense burner beside him, and when he saw Bai Ya and looked at it curiously, he immediately sighed and explained, "It is filled with ambergris, and people smell colorless and tasteless, but for snakes, insects and poisonous ants, it is extremely smelly." In this mountain forest, if you don't have this thing, then you don't have to sleep at night!"
"Hmm!" Bai Ya responded, but instead of listening to Wang Peng's meal and rest, he stood up and practiced the several martial arts he had learned in the open space.
Wang Peng watched him practice, and he didn't persuade him anymore, just lying on his side and drinking, glancing at the white cliff from time to time, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
If a martial artist wants to become a master, or even be promoted to the congenital, diligence, roots, understanding, resources, and luck are all very important, but only diligence runs throughout, and it doesn't matter if other aspects are lacking, only diligence is indispensable.
Bai Ya practiced for a while, only to feel that his whole body was hot and hot, and the sweat turned into smoke and steamed, especially when he stood upside down with the tiger's claws and two sticks of incense, he only felt that his knuckles were swollen and numb, and he knew that he had reached the limit.
"Rub a layer on your knuckles, wrists, and ankles!" Seeing that Bai Ya had finished his work, Wang Peng took out a box of ointment from the mustard seed bag and threw it to him, "If you can't practice like this, your muscles and bones will be left with dark wounds, didn't the person who taught you kung fu give you the medicine used in the practice?"
"The secret of Tiger Claw Gong has a prescription in it, but I haven't had time to dispense it yet!" Bai Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly, if he hadn't been caught by the Blood Knife Guest that night, he might have gone to the pharmacy in Liangzhou City to get the medicine the next day, "As for the Ghost Foot Gong, there is no prescription recorded in it." ”
"This tiger claw skill of yours is simple in shape and meaning, and it is estimated that it has a great history, but you have practiced more murderous spirit and less true meaning, so you should not understand the meaning of the exercises. Wang Peng nodded and said noncommittally, "As for that ghost foot skill...... It's just a trick in the rivers and lakes, don't practice!"
Bai Ya frowned when he heard this, Wang Peng's evaluation of the ghost foot skill made him a little unacceptable.
The ghost foot skill was given by the lame three partings, although Bai Ya knew that the third master regarded him as a young man surnamed Bai, but he was still very grateful in his heart. What's more, Bai Ya has always felt that the third master is a master, and the ghost foot skills should not be bad.
"Don't believe it?" Wang Peng looked at Bai Ya's face and sneered, and said with a light smile, "Your sword and footwork should be taught to you by the lone thief in Saibei, the ghost foot mad knife Hei San? Hei San is a legendary ranger in Saibei, but his martial arts practice is really not good!"
"Do you also know the third master, can you tell me about it, he never said anything about himself when he was in the inn!" Bai Ya suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.
"I've only seen a brief introduction and evaluation of him from the records collected by the sect. Wang Peng shook his head and said flatly, "It is rumored that Hei San was originally a cook, because his wife and daughter were killed by the enemy, and he practiced martial arts in order to take revenge. ”
"Hei San's talent is very high, he is a ghost talent! With the Jianghu style that he learned everywhere and the fast knife he practiced as a cook, he actually practiced a trace of sword intent, and among the acquired martial artists, he is considered a master. It's a pity that he practiced martial arts too late, he was nearly forty years old at that time, his roots were solid, and his achievements were not high. ”
Wang Peng said and sighed lightly, "If it weren't for that, there should be an Immortal Martial Sect in the Liangzhou realm willing to accept him." This kind of martial arts pearl is the most regrettable, with his talent, as long as he enters the sect before the age of thirty, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to the innate opportunity. ”
"A certain said that the ghost foot skill is just a style of rivers and lakes, not to look down on him, on the contrary, to be able to practice a style of rivers and lakes to that extent, a certain is a sigh of self-praise!" Wang Peng said with a smile, "But where the martial arts used to build the foundation, the change of moves is not important, the most important thing is the basic pile skill, which is the key to boiling the muscles and bones." ”
"The footwork of the ghost foot exercise is complicated, but there is no corresponding body refining pile skill. The more you practice, the more frivolous your feet become, and you can't see the impact when your martial arts are shallow, but when you form the corresponding texture on your heels, your body posture will definitely be weird, and at that time, it will become an obstacle to continued progress. ”
Bai Ya was silent, he remembered the weird posture of the third master who usually walked and swayed, he used to look cool, but now that he thinks about it, it is really a practice that has deviated from the way.
"That'...... What about the sword techniques I have learned?" At this time, Bai Ya had already believed most of Wang Peng's judgment, and then asked again.
"It's not bad, the basis of knife skills is fast, accurate, and ruthless. The word 'fast' is like a waterfall, and you have already started. The word "quasi" moves at will, and the word "ruthless" is cut in two, and there is still a lack of fire. This is related to the lack of strength in your upper limbs, and after you enter the sect, you can practice the pile gong diligently!" Wang Peng took a sip of wine and said casually.
"In this way, my boning knife technique is not even enough for basic entry?" Bai Ya swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with difficulty, "In addition to the fast, accurate, and ruthless foundation, what is the realm of that knife technique?"
"Oh~~" Wang Peng drank wine and didn't reply, he drew his knife with his backhand, and a clear knife groaned sounded.
"Snort~~" A white knife light shot out, and the grass and trees were broken in the direction of the knife light, and the soil and stones flew over. When the dazzling gaze in the white cliff retina faded, he found that a deep ravine stretched straight from where Wang Peng was sitting to a hundred meters away.
Bai Ya gasped, the power of the Blood Swordsman's sword was so powerful that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed in martial arts training to this realm at all.
"It's ...... Innate sword qi?" Bai Ya looked at Wang Peng in disbelief.
"A certain is just an acquired martial artist, where does the innate sword qi come from!" Wang Peng couldn't help but laugh, "If the sword skill is practiced quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, it will be considered a successful foundation building, and then practice the specific breathing method step by step, and you will be able to transform the internal force into sword qi." As soon as the knife is formed, the outside family turns to the inner house, so that he can say that he is a knife player, otherwise he is a trick. ”
"What about the sword qi above, what is the sword skill of the innate realm?" Since the White Cliff crossing, for the first time, he has become interested in the martial arts of this world.
