Chapter 9: Cultivation 1
One.
At first, I didn't feel pain, but I felt a chill sweep over my shoulders. However, after a while, the hot blood flowed over the shoulder, and the initial chill swept away, replaced by a cone pain. Wang Yi knew that it was the pain caused by the knife wound. This injury was enough to destroy his will, wear down his fighting spirit, and finally, let the fire of his life be quietly extinguished.
A pungent smell greeted you. It was the smell of blood mixed with sweat. This smell made Wang Yi dizzy, and the sound of blood rolling down his clothes onto the loess seemed to echo in his ears, and the dust in front of him seemed to be stained by this blood water, and gradually became red. Wang Yi's heart was stirring, and he longed to go back and confirm his wounds. The wound must have been deep, the flesh turned out, revealing snow-white bones, and it was terrifying.
But he still managed to suppress the longing in his heart. The enemy in front of him has not yet retreated, and he cannot fall yet. He drew his bow and arrows, shot down one of the enemies, and quickly mounted another arrow, ready to finish off the remaining enemies as well.
However, Wang Yi knew that he could not shoot rashly. Unlike the enemy who had just fallen, the man in front of him was not simple. The man did not rush forward, nor did he run away in a hurry, but quietly waited for the opportunity. He bent his body, holding his knife diagonally, and adopted a posture of attacking and retreating, ready to meet at any time. If Wang misses the blow, he will definitely fall into a passive state next. Coupled with the fact that he was not far enough away from the man and was injured, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty of shooting. Wang Yi was in a cold sweat, and his body temperature plummeted, obviously because he had lost too much blood. He must buy time to get out of this place as soon as possible, or his life will be lost. For this reason, Wang Yi decided to take a gamble!
He took a deep breath and lifted the arrow upwards, aiming it at the man's eyes.
Wang Yi's move was obviously a taboo in archery. In a life-and-death duel, facing an enemy who is only five steps away, whether it is taking a deep breath or changing the direction of aim, it will give the enemy a chance. The man could have taken the opportunity to cut off his neck with a knife, but Wang Yi's unreasonable play made the man stunned and did not dare to attack rashly, and as a result, he missed the perfect opportunity to win. Now, the initiative is back in the hands of the king.
Wang Yi glared at the man angrily, and so did the man. At this moment, Wang Yi only has a man's eyes in his eyes, and in the eyes of a man, there are only Wang Yi's arrows. Wang Yi became more and more composed, while the man became more and more uneasy. Before the two sides could make a move, Wang Yi won the momentum first, which is crucial in the battle, especially in the battle of life and death.
But men still have a chance to win. Of course, Wang Yi knows this clearly. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary people to pull a strong bow, let alone a person with a shoulder injury. The arrow just now has already used Wang Yi's life's strength, and now he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to shoot this arrow. A man must have calculated this before he dared to confront him head-on. For this, Wang Yi must hit the man with one blow and deal a fatal blow to the man.
Wang Yi's eyes were full of murderous aura. It was too late, it was too soon, and the man suddenly held his head in his hands and rolled to the ground. It turned out that it was the arrow of the king's hand that passed through the man's hair and flew out. Jiang Tie took advantage of the situation to get up and was about to attack Wang Yi, but suddenly stopped. At some point, the hunter pointed his arrow at the man again, and between his ring finger and little finger, there was another arrow, ready to impress the man with a continuous attack. The hunter, who was on one knee, slowly got up, maintained his shooting position, and slowly stepped back.
At this time, Jiang Tie was already frightened and couldn't move. For the first time, he felt so close to death, and the fear of death made him limp. The hunter slowly retreated, and gradually disappeared into the woods, and Jiang Tie, who had escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
At this time, it is the time of sunset and sunset. Night had fallen, and a bright moon hung in the sky. Jiang Tie quietly looked up at the night sky, suddenly beat his chest, sat on the ground and cried. In this round of competition, he lost completely, and if he couldn't defeat the hunter with his own hands, he wouldn't be able to lift up for the rest of his life.
Wang Yi dragged his wounded body and ran desperately for a long time, and before he could cross a hill, he rolled down the hillside. His knees were numb, his whole body was weak, his feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't take a single step. He collapsed to the ground, his throat thirsty like fire, his whole body convulsing.
"This ...... What was going on...... "He never knew that a shoulder injury could trigger such a reaction, unless...... He suddenly understood something, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"It's poison!". Wang Yi had seen people who had been bitten by poisonous insects or poisonous snakes, or who had drunk poisonous water, and their limbs were numb and their bodies were convulsed.
"Is there poison on the knife?...... Or is it the previous injury ......?"
"It's strange, Ximen Jing said before that I have fully recovered. Moreover, how could a bandit apply poison to the edge of the knife? Even if the knife was poisonous, the poison should have occurred a long time ago, and how could it have dragged on until now?"
Wang Yi couldn't continue to think about it. He was so hot that his internal organs seemed to be burned by the heat in his body, and his body was itching like ants, followed by pinprick pain that swept through his body. The pain in his heart made Wang Yi gradually lose himself, and gradually fell into the abyss of pain and could not extricate himself.
However, what pained him more than the physical pain was the thirst in his heart. His heart was desperately longing for something to nourish him, and he felt it so clearly that he was so awake that he couldn't even faint for a moment to relieve the pain.
At this time, a man appeared. He carried Wang Yi on his back for three days and three nights, and sent Wang Yi to a shack in Qingzhou Mansion. During this period, Wang Yi was tormented by pain and thirst.
"This is clearly true!" Three days later, Wang Yi finally returned to normal. At this time, he found himself deep in the shack he had built with Liu Mazi, and what came from his ears was Liu Mazi's slightly angry voice.
"Didn't you say healed? How could this be?" Wang Yi barely opened his eyes and saw two people in a daze. One of them was angry at the other, while the other was smiling and leaning over to look at him. After a long time, Wang Yi saw clearly that the person was the poisonous beggar Ximen Jing.
Liu Mazi was furious, but Ximen Jing smiled calmly.
"Look, what am I talking about? Isn't this awake? As I expected!"
"What did you expect? You mean, you knew he was going to do this? It turns out that you've been following us!"
"That's right, I've been following you all the way. ”
Liu Mazi was stunned, panting excitedly, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and after a long time, he asked slowly.
"Why?"
"Because I know his poison is going to kick in!"
"Why did it happen?"
"Because it's not complete!"
"Didn't you say he's completely fine?"
"It's totally good. ”
"What the hell are you talking about? Why did you have a seizure when you were completely healed? And what do you mean by incomplete? You can't be an old fool, right?"
"I'm sober!"
Ximen Jing said lightly: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for me to say slowly." I had expected his poison to attack, but I couldn't be sure. It is an indisputable fact that complete poisoning allowed him to save his life and also made him reborn. But his body has not yet reached a full state, which is why he is poisoned. ”
"What is a complete body? I have never heard of it, and why is he like this?"
"Since it is completely poisoned, it is natural to become a complete poison person. ”
"Poisoner?"
The legendary poisonous man is not only invulnerable, but can poison people as long as he touches it. Although this kind of monster is not unprecedented, it is either unconscious, or it is just a fake poison person coated with poison powder. But this kid is different. He is an independent consciousness, a living poisonous person, a poisonous person who can control the poison in his body, and a poisonous person who I have always dreamed of. Now, his poisonous hair proves that he has taken the first step towards becoming a poisonous man. ”
Wang Yi had a splitting headache, but he couldn't help but shout.
"Who told you to turn me like this?"
Ximen Jing already knew that Wang Yi had regained consciousness, shook his head, and said lightly.
"It's not up to you. ”
Wang Yi's body has been completely purified by poison, as long as the method is right, he can practice martial arts from scratch like a child, and cultivate poisonous attacks through the poisonous gas in his body. However, his life was inseparable from poison. According to Simonjing, he had to take a certain amount of poison every month to stay alive.
If he takes poison regularly, he will not only survive, but also become the poisoner that Ximen Jing expects, a complete poisoner.
"Does your head hurt? That's the result of taking poison for three days. In order to suppress the poisonous gas in your body, I used strong poison this time. I don't know the dosage and intensity of the poison, so it's the side effects. As long as you can take the poison I gave you regularly, it won't happen in the future. This is ......!" Ximen Jing took out a dark jade bottle from his bosom, which was filled with five-colored pills.
"The black ones are made by mixing herbaceous poisons such as grass black, shoot dry, aconite, euphorbia, li lu, thousand fairies and shang lu. The red ones are the crane top red, the blue ones are snake venom, the yellow ones are the poisons extracted from toads and centipedes, and the white ones are ......!"
Ximen Jing smiled proudly, unabashedly proud of his "treasures".
"This is the secret poison of the Tang Sect in Sichuan, so save some food. ”
At this time, Liu Mazi, who had been standing silently aside, suddenly interjected.
"How can you give up such a valuable thing?"
"Research, purely for research!"
Liu Mazi's words implied sarcasm, but Ximen Jing ignored it and continued.
"Someday, I'm going to do something earth-shattering. This thing is to study poisonous people. Even if I can't succeed in making a person poisonous, I have to be the first to observe a completely poisonous person. I'm not asking you to do anything for me. I let you take poison to prolong your life. All you have to do is let me follow you and observe you. After all, it's not me who turns you into a poisoner, it's fate. Perhaps, this is the fate of you and me. ”
"That's fate!"
Simon Jing repeated.
Fate, this is the most heard sentence of Wang Yi, who has been a farmer for generations. As a farmer, there are so many things in this world that they can't do anything about. He knows this better than anyone else, and he has the right to speak more than anyone else.
He was forced to go to Nanban for twenty taels of silver, his sister was forced to become the plaything of others, and his comrades-in-arms were killed by flying arrows in front of his eyes...... In his life, I don't know how much helplessness he has had, and I don't know what kind of bitterness he will suffer, and the pain is only known to him.
Therefore, he was disgusted with fate and even more dissatisfied with the injustice of fate. His life is a life of giving up and a life of surrender, no matter what kind of sadness, he can only bear it silently. Under the trick of fate, all he learned was anger.
Wang Yi was silent, and the flames of anger burned in his heart, turning into an invisible force, which strengthened his heart for revenge. He has no intention of fighting against fate, but he will surely slash the enemy who has brought him to this field.
Driven by the drugs, his head became more and more painful, so painful that he didn't even realize that there was another one sitting on his bedside. At this time, Liu Mazi reminded.
"Say hello, this is your savior. The man was curled up in the shade at the head of Wang Yi's bed, covered by the roof. The weather in Qingzhou is cold, and every household relies on the kang for heating. Even if it's not winter, the kang will be covered with straw to keep out the cold. However, the man sat on the kang and was wrapped in a thick coat, but he was still curled up, his hands on his knees, shivering with cold. The face was also buried below the knees, wrapped in an old cloth, and only the eyes and nose could be faintly seen. He looked at Wang Yi listlessly with his eyes half-open, as if he was tired.
"Little Brother Hu Lian!"
Wang Yi was startled and couldn't help but scream.
The people in Ge Xun called him Hu Lian's little brother. Originally, if it wasn't for an immediate family member or a lifelong relationship, it would be very impolite to call someone a younger brother. However, Sun Fuzi and Ding Lao Er both called him so, and he himself did not reject it, and this title spread. Of course, this may have been just a one-sided idea of the villagers, because Hu Lian's little brother had never confided any feelings in front of anyone. Sun Fuzi, Ding Lao Er and Hu Lian's younger brother are brothers and sisters, and they are known as the Taoyuan Three Knots of Ge Wei Shop.
。 However, it is still a bit far-fetched to compare Hu Lian's little brother to Zhang Fei. Hu Lian's little brother, who squinted his eyes and wrapped himself tightly all year round, was really different from Zhang Fei. Moreover, it is said that the little brother of Hu Lian is a mute because he has never said a word in front of people. However, it is also said that he was only a man of few words, so he was seen talking to his grandson. It is difficult for people to understand how such a person could be so highly respected by Master Sun and even commensurate with his brother.
Wang Yi reluctantly got up and hugged his fists.
Hu Lian...... The little brother's life-saving grace is unforgettable!" Hu Lian's little brother was still curled up on the fire kang and didn't say a word, but Liu Mazi complained first.
"Someone has been working hard to take care of you since the middle of the night, but you don't even let out a fart, but you are so respectful to others, are you bullying me for being a beggar?" Wang Yi ignored Liu Mazi. His attitude towards Sun Fuzi and Hu Lian's younger brother, Liu Mazi may not be able to understand. Although Liu Mazi is the master of a rudder, it is just a false name to Wang Yi. On the other hand, Sun Fuzi and Hu Lian's younger brother have been god-like beings in the village since Wang Yi was a child.
Wang Yi suddenly realized that he had thanked the wrong person, hurriedly clenched his fists, and said again.
"Master Sun's great grace, the villain will come to the door to thank you in the future!" Junior Brother Hu Lian finally opened his squinted eyes and nodded, expressing his acceptance of Wang Yi's gratitude. His move was intended to show that saving the king was the intention of Master Sun, and he was acting according to Master Sun's orders.
Seeing this, Liu Mazi couldn't help but be indignant again.
"Damn! I'm a master of the rivers and lakes, can't I compare to a gangster in your village?" Hearing Liu Mazi's words, Wang Yi frowned. Liu Mazi was stunned and hurriedly closed his mouth. However, Liu Mazi's move was not because of Wang Yi, but because of the murderous aura that came from behind. Obviously, his words angered the little brother Hu Lian on the side, and the cold light in his half-squinted eyes couldn't help but make Liu Mazi feel terrified.
At this time, Liu Mazi had to look at Hu Lian's little brother with admiration. Sure enough, people can't look good, don't look at him in shabby clothes and ugly appearance, but the murderous aura in his eyes tells Liu Mazi that this person is by no means an idle person.
"Is there still this person in the rivers and lakes?" Liu Mazi said apologetically while thinking about it.
"I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I am offended, and I hope to atone for my sins!"
As soon as the words fell, the murderous aura in Hu Lian's eyes immediately disappeared, as if nothing had happened just now. Liu Mazi secretly sneered. "If I can't find out the identity of you and Master Sun, I won't be surnamed Liu! Especially you, little brother Hu Lian. I'm intrigued by the smell of blood peculiar to you as an executioner!" Wang thought about it all night, and as soon as it was dawn, he went out with his knife and waved it in the courtyard. Although there is no sword technique to speak of, this is Wang Yi's first step towards martial arts.
Two.
Tang Shunzhi, the word Yingde, the number Jingchuan, Wujin in Jiangsu Province. In the eighth year of Jiajing, he passed the examination, was the head of the Officers and Soldiers Department, and was later transferred to the Taifu Shaoqing. He was full of economy and was one of the three great masters of the Ming Dynasty. Although Tang Shunzhi was born in Hanlin, he is proficient in the art of war and has superb gun skills. According to legend, Tang Shunzhi once talked about gunnery with Qi Jiguang and personally raised a gun to demonstrate, and everyone present was amazed. Not only that, but he also personally wrote martial arts classics. The book "Martial Arts" written by him sorted out the martial arts moves handed down from ancient times in the Central Plains and annotated them, which became the officially recognized martial arts classics of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the records of sword skills were widely used in the training of generals and soldiers.
However, a man named Cheng Zongyu reformed the sword techniques of the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers. He learned stick art in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and then studied under Li Kefu in Henan, learned marksmanship, and later learned crossbow art in the cave of Shouchun by chance. Not only that, but he also learned knife techniques from Liu Yunfeng in Zhejiang. This is the Japanese Yin knife flow, commonly known as the Japanese sword method.
According to records, the sword technique is a sword technique in which both hands hold a slender sword and swing it left and right to attack. According to legend, Cheng Zongyu once defeated the contemporary famous sword Haozhou Guo Wu with this knife technique and became the first in the world worthy of the name. Since then, compared with the traditional Chunxin knife or Qinglong knife in the Central Plains, the sword has been more favored by major martial arts classics and military books. This is also the reason why Mao Yuanyi's "Wubei Zhi Sword Method" only records one knife method, and the Korean "Martial Arts Atlas Tongzhi" notes the Japanese sword and the Japanese sword in detail.
