Chapter 6: Cobra
(I was not satisfied with the writing of this chapter yesterday, and I deleted it immediately after an hour, and then this chapter deleted 2,500 words and rewrote the battle.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)
In the blink of an eye, Su Mu had been in Xiaoyao Valley for three months.
In three months, he gradually integrated into the life in the valley, in this place closed to the outside world, like a paradise, Su Mu's life was very dull.
Su Mu got up very early in the morning, ran and jogged, breathing in the fresh air, so that every pore of his body opened.
Then he practiced martial arts, especially the jade flute swordsmanship, even if he had used it for a long time, Su Mu practiced it thousands of times, and the swordsmanship slowly transformed.
The characteristics of the jade flute swordsmanship are handsome and chic, dancing, and it is very beautiful to perform.
However, Su Mu slowly abandoned this characteristic, and made the moves more concise, making the messy movements less and the moves more simple and direct.
Every move is an attack on the enemy's vital point, directly taking the enemy's life and death, and it is unparalleled.
Now the swordsmanship made by Su Mu has abandoned the complicated moves, and only retains the killing moves.
After Su Mu practiced for three months, a new set of swordsmanship was released, and Su Mu still used the original name Jade Xiao.
But the difference is that the music played by the jade flute used to be a euphemistic and beautiful melody with a hundred turns and thousands of turns, but now this is an indomitable Zheng Zheng battle sound.
In addition to practicing swords, the relationship between Su Mu and the three sons of Xiaoyao is also getting better and better.
After Li Qiushui's publicity, Su Mu's cooking skills were depicted as miraculous, and after showing his hand in front of Wu Xingyun and Wu Yazi, he instantly convinced them.
But Su Mu only cooks for the three of them every once in a while, as for why he doesn't do it every day, Su Mu's reason is that some foods can be eaten for a day, and if you eat too much, you won't feel delicious.
Of course, what is more important is that Su Mu can only have a few dishes.
In addition to ordinary life, Su Mu also occasionally played music with Wu Yazi.
Because of Huang Yaoshi, Su Mu learned to blow the flute on Peach Blossom Island, and with the improvement of his memory brought by the orchid brush, Su Mu can play music calmly, and Su Mu is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a lot of topics to communicate with Wuyazi, and the two have become good friends.
On this day, Su Mu came to the martial arts training ground in Xiaoyao Valley to compete with others.
Su Mu was proposed to fight by a guard in Xiaoyao Valley a few days ago, the guard was called Bai Zhenxing, a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect, but because of the dispute between the head of the Snow Mountain Sect, his master was injured in the competition for the position of the head of the sect, and then he was expelled from the division, Bai Zhenxing followed to take care of the master, but died as a result, Bai Zhenxing was angry, and he circled under the Snow Mountain for several months, killed more than a dozen disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect, and was arrested by the Snow Mountain Sect with a reward order.
When Xiaoyaozi met him, he killed three or four people, ran away, was subdued by Xiaoyaozi, asked the reason, and knew that although he had several lives under his command and was a villain who killed people without blinking, the Snow Mountain Sect was not a righteous person, so he planted a life and death charm and brought it to Xiaoyao Valley to protect the sect.
Bai Zhenxing's martial arts are very high, and the swordsmanship of the Snow Mountain in one hand is very powerful, if he uses a long sword, even the Tianshan Tong Grandma will temporarily avoid the edge.
Of course, if Su Mu also used a long sword, it would be difficult for Tianshan Tong to defeat him simply.
Both of them are known for their swordsmanship, and they live in the same valley with each other, Bai Zhenxing wants to learn, and Su Mu also yearns for it.
On this day, Bai Zhenxing solemnly invited to test his swordsmanship with Su Mu, and also invited the three sons of Xiaoyao and other guards to witness together.
Bai Zhenxing and Su Mu stood opposite each other, and each other's expressions were very serious.
Bai Zhenxing saw that Su Mu was not very old, but practicing sword moves all day long was extremely simple, he originally thought that his swordsmanship was mediocre, but some time ago, a guard provoked him, but he was injured by his three moves and two styles, and Bai Zhenxing also had the idea of learning.
Su Mu didn't know much about Bai Zhenxing's martial arts, but seeing that he had a high prestige among the guards, even Tianshan Tong's grandmother said that he was not easy to deal with, and he didn't dare to be careless in his heart.
Bai Zhenxing said with a smile: "Master Su, let's have a discussion today, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”
Su Mu didn't talk nonsense, pulled out the long sword, stared at the other party, arched his hand and said, "Okay, it's over." ”
After saying this, Su Mu clenched the long sword in his hand and stared at the other party, not daring to relax for a moment.
Bai Zhenxing took off the long sword on his back, it was a silver-white long sword, more than one grade better than the ordinary long sword in Su Mu's hand.
As soon as the swords of the two appeared, the gap immediately appeared, and Li Qiushui asked worriedly: "The sword in Brother Su Mu's hand is so bad, will he lose?" ”
Wu Yazi smiled lightly and said, "There is no difference between the level of swordsmanship and the quality of the sword, don't worry." ”
Wu Yazi's voice fell, Wu Xingyun raised his foot and swept it, kicked him in the heel, kicked a heel, Wu Yazi stood up and asked, "Senior sister, what are you hitting me for?"
Wu Xingyun glanced at him and said, "You said what I said." ”
Wu Yazi honestly stood aside and no longer dared to speak more.
The quarrel next to them did not affect the two of them, and they were not disturbed by external objects, and this attitude of sincerity to the sword is what a swordsman should have.
Bai Zhenxing was a little surprised by Su Mu's caution and focus, he originally thought that Su Mu was just outstanding in swordsmanship and talented.
But later, Su Mu was often seen practicing swordsmanship alone, doing the same action thousands of times, that kind of concentration and loyalty to the sword made Bai Zhenxing regard him as a real swordsman.
The two stood opposite each other, and neither of them had the idea of drawing a sword immediately.
As long as the sword is drawn, it is indomitable, and even two people with similar skills can divide the winner in a short time.
Although he said the point, the sword has no eyes, and even if he hurts the other party in the fight, no one else can say anything.
The two stared at each other's movements, thinking about the changes in each other's sword moves.
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Li Qiushui asked in a low voice, "What are they doing? Why don't you use your sword?"
Wu Yazi just wanted to answer, Wu Xingyun said: "They are watching each other's flaws, the sword not only means attacking, but also means exposing weaknesses, they are waiting for the change of the opponent's momentum, grasp the most critical place, I am afraid that one move can distinguish the winner from the loser." ”
When Wu Yazi heard this, he stroked his chest, but fortunately he didn't say it, otherwise he would have robbed the senior sister again.
"Offended. ”
Bai Zhenxing didn't hold his breath at first, he groaned in a low voice, relying on his tall stature, he jumped in front of Su Mu with one step, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out, turning into a silver light, and stabbing at Su Mu's shoulder obliquely.
This move is the 'old branch slanted' of the snow mountain swordsmanship, just like the branches that still stand on the trees after the heavy snow in winter.
Although it is lonely, it symbolizes the momentum of never giving up.
This move was very stable, the long sword did not tremble in the slightest, and with that silver light, there was a dazzling brilliance blooming.
Su Mu was surprised by the speed of this sword, but the moment the other party took out the sword, he pursued the other party's hand holding the sword.
Let him change, and I will not move.
The long sword in Su Mu's hand stabbed out, but the position of the sword was an inch in front of Bai Zhenxing's sword hand, and with a bang, the sword in Bai Zhenxing's hand was opened.
The blade of the sword struck the spine of the sword, and the good thing of precision seemed to be measured with a ruler.
This is the characteristic of the jade flute swordsmanship, which originally specialized in human acupoints and required extremely precise control of the long sword.
The jade flute swordsmanship that was simplified by Su Mu did not have a fluttering posture, but the moves were more simple and direct.
Bai Zhenxing stabbed people with a sword, and Su Mu stabbed a sword with a sword, and with just this move, you can see the difference.
Bai Zhenxing was a little surprised, but he didn't have the intention of retreating, and stabbed a few more moves, but they were all stabbed by Su Mu and stopped halfway.
"Good and precise swordsmanship. ”
Bai Zhenxing was a little surprised, suddenly changed his move, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out again, and his wrist shook rapidly. The long sword turned into a silver-white afterimage.
This move is the sword technique of the Snow Mountain School 'Wind and Sand Reckless', and many swords are stabbed out in an instant, like sand mixed in the wind, making people nowhere to look.
"See how you block it now?"
Bai Zhenxing was very confident in his move, although Su Mu's swordsmanship was accurate, it required a high degree of mental concentration, and it required a lot of mental effort, and he was categorically unable to resist so many attacks.
But Su Mu did not choose to resist, but sent the long sword in his hand forward, as if he was holding a dish here, asking the distinguished guest to enjoy it.
It's just that this dish is very deadly, and one of the most delicious dishes ends up in the throat of the enemy.
Bai Zhenxing's attack was about to touch Su Mu's body, but the long sword in Su Mu's hand also reached his throat.
If Bai Zhenxing doesn't stop, then there will be only one result, he dies and the other party is injured.
In this way, it is still a loss for yourself.
A good move to surround Wei and save Zhao.
Bai Zhenxing had no choice but to put away his sword to block and open Su Mu's long sword, but this sword change made his movements a little slower.
One step slow, one step at a time.
The moment Bai Zhenxing collected his sword to block, Su Mu's move changed again, and the long sword in his hand slanted, narrowly avoiding the long sword blocked by Bai Zhenxing.
can accurately stab the advancing long sword, and how can you not dodge the opponent's long sword.
Therefore, Bai Zhenxing's action of retracting the sword became useless, and Su Mu's sword was slanted, but he took advantage of the situation to point out and stab Bai Zhenxing's shoulder.
Switching offense and defense, it is Su Mu who now takes the initiative.
The ordinary guards of Xiaoyao Valley next to him couldn't see why, but Wu Xingyun knew that Su Mu had already taken the advantage.
In fact, the martial arts and swordsmanship of the two are at the same level, and it stands to reason that the two should be on a par with each other, even if they fight for life and death, they should lose both.
But the fact is that Su Mu is more active, because he is calmer and more disregarding his life and death.
Even if you are injured, you have to attack the enemy's vital points, and this kind of indomitable momentum is more than one step ahead of the opponent.
Therefore, Su Mu's move was stabbed, and Bai Zhenxing couldn't avoid it, allowing Su Mu to stab him in the shoulder.
Bai Zhenxing was not injured, because Su Mu had already withdrawn his long sword after stabbing his clothes.
Bai Zhenxing knew that he had failed, looked at Su Mu, sighed, and said, "I lost, your swordsmanship is more than a step ahead of me." ”
Su Mu smiled and said, "Brother Bai, don't say that, we have similar martial arts, and I only used some small means to win." ”
Su Mu said this is not pure politeness, his trick to surround Wei to save Zhao is indeed a small means in Su Mu's opinion.
But Bai Zhenxing shook his head and said, "The swordsmanship I am talking about not only refers to the moves, but also the state of mind. You attacked me without hesitation, despite your injuries, which I can't do. In fact, why do you create so many moves with swords and other martial arts, why do you need to block and dodge? This is a premise, people who use martial arts can't avoid it, even if someone lives with each other, it is only on the premise that thinking about the uselessness of the method of blocking will exchange injuries for injuries, but then it will be slow to get on the line. But you're different, you don't have the idea of thinking about it at that moment, you give people the feeling that even if you die, you have to kill the enemy. I've killed a lot of people, but I can't do that when I fight an enemy, I think about my own safety first. ”
Bai Zhenxing understood that the gap between himself and Su Mu was in the idea of attacking, which was also the result of the two having similar martial arts but separating the winners and losers.
Of course, Bai Zhenxing didn't feel that this gap needed to be changed by himself, because it was a little too ruthless not to think about his own safety.
Su Mu listened to his words, but understood why there was such a gap between the two.
Bai Zhenxing is very similar to himself, he has been hunted down and killed, and he has killed many people.
But the difference is that he was not driven to the end until he was caught by Xiaoyaozi, and Su Mu was forced into a desperate situation several times, injured countless times, and finally could not escape the fate of death.
If he was at ease, Su Mu, like everyone else, would choose to use his moves to outperform the other party.
But if the situation becomes critical, Su Mu's own protection mechanism will make him instantly forget about his own safety and kill the opponent.
There are many such people, they are like a cobra, when they encounter an enemy, the first thing they think about is not to run away, but to kill each other.
(This paragraph is the Snow Mountain faction martial arts in the Xia Ke Xing, because I personally like the Xia Ke Xing, but the Xia Ke Xing can't be written, and there is a lot of controversy about the strength of the martial arts, and the age cannot be determined (definitely after the Tianlong). So from the first volume, I broke the plot of the book and integrated some of the settings into other books, of course, the specific characters will not appear)
