Chapter Twenty-Seven: Urgent Transmission
Asure's master Fan Wenjie was buried outside the south gate of the city, that is, the place where the sword was hidden, and after Azule told Miss Yi the approximate location, the two went to their destination non-stop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What kind of sword am I supposed to be, it turns out to be inconspicuous, and it is quite ugly. Now that the sword is in hand, let's go. The two of them didn't say anything all the way, got the sword, and approached the tribe, so Miss Yi spoke.
Seeing that Azule still didn't speak, Miss Yi said again: "The sword has been obtained, one of the things has been completed, and the other thing is to send you away." You can't stay on the grassland, there is a caravan going to the Central Plains through Shuntianzhou in the next few days, and we will go with the caravan when the time comes. You're ready to go, we're ready to go. Unable to speak, Azule could not answer, and left on his own, and Azule returned to the felt bag alone.
Azul cleaned the dirt from the Qingfeng Sword, remembering what Doctor Li said before leaving, and felt that his need to practice martial arts had to be put on the agenda, so he thought of seeking his master's help.
Azul entered the long-lost dream again. After entering the dream, he fled but was caught, and after being caught, he pretended to give in and offered the sword, and the cause and effect of being rescued on the way to the sword was truthfully and thoroughly informed to the master.
After a short silence, the master spoke: "The wisp of divine consciousness that I have left, I can barely teach you to practice martial arts, and other teachers can't help you, so you can only rely on yourself and be self-reliant." Although he escaped this time, he has already stepped on the bloody rivers and lakes since then, and he must not be able to help himself. I see that you still have a certain foundation for practicing this "Washing the Pulp Sutra", and the realm is beginning to appear, showing a trend of entry, and you still need to continue to practice according to this inner strength and mental method, and you must not slack off, do not waste, and do not go astray; ”
"Thank you, teacher, disciple, thank you. We must keep in mind the teachings, step by step, step by step. Azul replied firmly.
"In view of the current situation, the previous idea of trying to lay a solid foundation and then practice the sword technique moves no longer worked, therefore, the master has decided to teach you the introductory sword technique 'Cloud Piercing Sword Technique' from today onwards. Before formally teaching you swordsmanship, I hope you will have a preliminary understanding of practicing swordsmanship. The master said slowly.
Azule was extremely excited, and finally waited until the time he had dreamed of it for a long time to practice martial arts tricks. But still quietly replied: "The apprentice must listen carefully and study carefully." ”
"Okay! Sword - open double-edged body straight and pointed, horizontal and vertical can hurt people, stabbing can penetrate armor. Dangerous and abnormal, born to kill. The sword belongs to the 'short soldier', known as the 'king of a hundred soldiers', and has a variety of names such as 'light lu', 'path', 'long gong'. The sword is pointed at the front and the handle at the back, with a single or double edge, which can be stabbed, struck, picked, wiped, cut and sharpened. The sword is divided into a long sword and a short blade, the long sword is convenient for fighting, the short sword is good for protection and assassination, and I send the Qingfeng sword between long and short, which can be long or short. ”
"Since ancient times, the practice of swordsmanship has three functions: first, the swordsmanship used for technical strikes, second, the swordsmanship used to perform routine movements, and third, the former is combined into one, taking the sword meaning and form of the swordsmanship, without the spirit of swordsmanship, and generally used in combination or with the help of other weapons. Swordsmanship can be attacked, defended, rigid, soft, smooth, reversible, horizontal, vertical, elastic, retractable, among many weapons, there has always been a saying that "only the sword is used the most". ”
"In the eyes of outsiders, it is a fallacy to practice the swordsmanship that has reached a high and profound level must be dizzying to look at and practice without end! There are three levels of practicing the swordsmanship of our school, and you need to keep in mind that the first level is, 'there is a sword in the hand, but there is no sword in the heart', and the emphasis on moves and paths is a process from imitation to possession; the second level, 'a sword in the hand and a sword in the heart', emphasizing form and form, is a process from mastery to integration; and the third level is ' There is no sword in the hand, there is no sword in the heart', the sword is righteous and the sword realm, there is nowhere to be a sword, and nothing can be a sword. ”
"To practice my swordsmanship, we must practice diligently, but not to practice; this is that some people have amazing talents, and they can do 'have a sword in their hands' very quickly, often just once or twice; but no matter how good the talent is, it is difficult to sublimate after all if they are not diligent in learning and thinking, so they have been diligent in all dynasties and have examples and characters who can make up for their clumsiness, from 'having a sword in their hands' to 'having a sword in their hearts' by studying hard and practicing hard. ”
Although Azule listened to it in a fog, after all, he opened a temporary door to himself, so he tried his best to comprehend it, but he really couldn't comprehend it, so he forced himself to remember it to death, believing that one day he would finally be able to comprehend.
"Disciple, the above is a general outline of the use of swords, which is the essence of our sect's use of swords for hundreds of years. How much can you understand, and what are the problems?" the master asked.
"Master, after listening to it, the apprentice only thinks that the mystery of using the sword is broad and profound, and it is not difficult to understand, but it seems to be difficult to understand it. I just learned that swords can be used in many ways, and they can't simply be slashed like knives, nor can they be stabbed like spears. Azule thought for a moment and replied.
"It's hard for you, it's good to understand this. The sword is the same as any weapon, it is necessary to use skill, and it is necessary to choose the method that suits the weapon to use it. ”
"Okay! There are a lot of details, because the teacher expects a lot from you, and hopes that if you don't fly, you will already soar into the sky. Next, I will pass you on the six-style cloud-piercing swordsmanship, as the name suggests, a total of six styles, namely cracking stone flowing clouds, wind lifting clouds, turning rain and clouds, chasing clouds and electricity, breaking through clouds and fog, and going straight to the clouds" The master spoke faster and faster for a while, as if returning to the scene when he was young.
"The six-style cloud-piercing sword technique, its center of gravity and essence is in a 'cloud' word, which seems to be like nothing, like far and near, like more and like less, like light and heavy; Although it is a six-style, in fact, it is connected before and after, or interspersed with before and after, or echoed before and after, endlessly, endlessly, I hope you will practice more and think more. For the next period of time, you have to cultivate both inside and outside, and don't waste it. The master was talking and practicing at the same time, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and when he talked about the highlights, his tone was aggravated.
"Another important point is that when you first start practicing, you have to practice it over and over again in order, but when you get to the point of 'having a sword in your hand', you can try to practice in a chaotic order, and you have to think and experience by yourself how to connect between the two moves and how to take care of each other between several moves. The master said.
"Master, I must practice diligently, and strive to integrate it as soon as possible, and I will gain something. Azul replied.
"As for the practice, it is divided into two kinds, one is the drill, the other is the actual combat, if there is a chance, it is still necessary to fight, so that you can master more and master it faster. The master said again.
"Okay, apprentice, I'm going to be silent for a while today, and I'm going to be silent for a while. You have to protect yourself, and you have a few more eyes. Go for the teacher. The master's tone was weak, and he felt like nothing.
Azule kept in mind the six-style cloud-piercing sword technique practiced by his master.
