Old Master Meng led everyone to a small martial arts training ground wearing flowers and willows. This martial arts training ground also has a few hundred square meters, all of which are paved with hard bluestone, and there are some dummies, arrow targets and other commonly used equipment on the inside.

The most attractive thing is not the several weapon racks in the distance, on which are a dazzling variety of weapons. Han Ling could recognize swords, axes, spears, crossbows, etc., but those who didn't recognize them accounted for the majority.

Old Master Meng's sword was carried with him, and all living beings also had their own practice swords, so no one went to take any equipment. The Master found a shady spot and divided the students into sections. Some of the old students have obviously practiced for a long time, and they have a good posture with their swords, they are divided into one place, and they go to find an open space to practice, and there are also a few people fighting. Others, on the other hand, rehearse what they have been taught, and then correct their mistakes before practicing. Han Ling and another boy were separated, and Old Master Meng needed to explain the essence and basic knowledge of swordsmanship from the beginning.

This boy just saw that he seemed to be with that Meng Ju, but his appearance was respectful, and eighty percent of his relatives were of slightly lower status. It is probably the branch of the Fanyang Meng clan.

The master was in a very good mood today, and said with a smile: "Do you know what the spirit of kendo is?"

The boy replied excitedly: "Defend the family and the country, and kill the demons!"

Han Ling thought for a while and replied, "Indomitable, upright?"

Old Master Meng shook his head lightly, his eyes looked at a distant place, as if he was recalling something.

"That's right, it's not right, each is missing something. But it shows your aspirations and character. This answer cannot be told to you by the teacher, and it will lose its meaning if it is said, and you still need to explore it yourself. But let's never forget that this question remains unanswered. ”

He drew his sword, and saw that the long sword body was smooth, cold-cold, and bright. The scabbard is decorated with light gold lines, forming a beast head in the water waves, with two fangs that seem to be made of real animal teeth, and a blue gem in its mouth, which is quiet and shining. The faint and clear sound of grinding when the sword was drawn showed that the sword was well-made and sharp.

The master cherished it with his fingers and said loudly: "Today I will teach you a set of Xiushui swordsmanship suitable for beginners to learn, and after you are proficient, you can continue to learn the two more advanced swordsmanship of Starfall and Wind." The swordsmanship is also divided into high and low, Xiushui is in the middle and upper class, and the internal strength is less but more powerful. Starfall and wind are high, each with its own characteristics. Among them, Xingluo was created by Meng's predecessors, and Xiushui and Blifeng were all inherited by chance. ”

After a pause, he admonished: "The Meng clan is famous for its swordsmanship, and the sword books collected by the He clan are innumerable in the library pavilion. When you have completed these three parts, you can enter the library and choose your favorite swordsmanship. What the teacher wants to warn you is that you must not be greedy and chew too much, the old man selfishly hopes that you will not learn the weapons next to you along the way in the martial arts, except for the sword. The same is true for swordsmanship, including Starfall and Wind, you should choose a high-level swordsmanship that suits you, or a more superior legendary swordsmanship, as the main object of study, and the rest are only for reference and supplementation. ”

The two of them said in unison: "Follow the master's teachings." ”

The master nodded in satisfaction, looked back at the other two scenes, and then bowed his head again and said, "The sword is the king of soldiers." He is also a gentleman in weapons. There are countless masters who have studied swords in the rivers and lakes, and Fan Yang Meng can only be regarded as one of the leaders. Among them, Qingfeng Tower, Huifeng Fort and the army are all places where kendo masters are concentrated. When you go out and walk in the future, you should also collect swordsmanship in many ways. The swordsmanship obtained above the average level needs to be backed up and contributed to the Library Pavilion, which is also the reward you should give to the Meng Clan. ”

Seeing the two of them nodding, he said leisurely: "Of course, it also includes your self-created swordsmanship." However, this kind of realm is not much different from the Great Perfection, and it is a very distant thing for you, so I will not mention it here for the time being. But I hope to see that day. ”

At this time, the subordinate came over and handed over two practice swords. The two swords are medium in size, pure black, and undecorated.

The master motioned for the two to pick it up, explaining that it might be a little heavy, but the heavier the novice sword was, the lighter it would be when facing the enemy in the future. So this is also for better development in the future, and I hope the two will not be afraid of the difficulties at the beginning.

The boy was thin and weak, and looked a little worried, but he was the first to do everything, and went up and picked up one of them.

Then it slammed into the ground with a bang.

Master: Go and break a branch. ”

The boy did not dare to try again, and went to the edge and broke the branches.

Han Ling was also a little surprised when he saw this, and stepped forward to pick up one of them.

Hey?

It's really not heavy at all, Han Ling thought to himself, but after thinking about it, he pretended to be struggling.

"It's really heavy!"

Nima knew that I had fallen well, and I was very worried about this hatred.

The master did not fail to notice the look of doubt when the doll first picked up the sword, but thought that he was thinking about the material of the sword, so he didn't ask too much after thinking about it.

Meng's private learning is all about this kind of black iron sword, although most people are more difficult, but they have benefited a lot. And it is not uncommon for a boy to be unable to hold a sword, but this child is really weak in his upper limbs and needs more practice.

When the boy came back with a peach blossom branch, he saw such a scene: the doll, which was smaller than himself, slowly waved the black iron sword, and the old master Meng showed approval on the side.

The boy was blushing and couldn't raise his head in shame.

Old Master Meng comforted him and said, "There is still a lack of physical exercise. There's not much content today, so you make do with it first, and then call someone to fight a lighter one for the teacher at night. ”

Han Ling thought, thank you, teacher, but it didn't help. He hates me or will still hate me, and he really can't bear to take revenge on Xiaosheng

The boy smiled and said, "What's next?"

The master took a few steps back and said with a smile: "There are nine styles of this Xiushui swordsmanship, and I will play a full set for the teacher first, so that you can have a general impression." ”

As he spoke, the momentum was set, and the sword was ready to be launched in front of his chest.

The sword has not yet moved, and the momentum has risen first.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the dragon body was snake-shaped.

The gray clothes danced wildly in the wind, and the sword light advanced and retreated. The leaves rustle overhead, fluttering down. The fallen leaves were in front of his eyes, between his eyebrows, and before they landed, they had been torn to pieces by the strength of his body.

The sword was danced by him to the point that Han Ling looked at it with good eyes, but he could only see a bright silver phantom. It's really like a shock, and the wind is outstanding.

The air fluctuates shallowly, and oscillating water streaks appear. Spread out in circles, very subtle but also extremely clear. The space around Old Master Meng seemed to be distorted, and the whole person seemed to be dancing in the water.

Old Master Meng shouted, "Do you see the ripples of the water?"

The two of them were dazzled and hurriedly replied, "I see!"

He put away the last piece of sword light, and the whole set of sword techniques was fast, as if it was over in a few breaths.

The master's complexion did not change, and there was not a drop of sweat, and he explained: "The ripples of the water are the symbol of Xiushui's swordsmanship, formed because of the resonance of qi. Once formed, it can provide you with a protection, and other blades will swing like in water when they are close to you, making it difficult to move. ”

The boy said, "Master, you are dancing too fast, and the students don't see it clearly. ”

The master laughed: "Silly doll! This is the normal speed of the old man, if you see it clearly, you will have died 108,000 times a long time ago!"

"Today is just the beginning, for the teacher to teach you some alchemy techniques. In addition to good swordsmanship, you also need your own strength and tenacity. ”
