Section 29 Swordsmanship

"Drink" "Ha"

"Drink" "Ha"

Li Xun stood on the practice ground of Ji Mansion, holding the meteorite heavy sword passed to him by Ji Que with both hands, sweating like rain, he kept practicing two movements, one chopping and the other chopping. The former goes straight up and down, the latter goes down from all angles, the former goes straight and the latter is erratic. He struck sword after sword, without stopping, the morning sun shone down behind him, stretching his shadow to the ground in front of him, his face was in the shadow of the sun, his eyes were fixed on his shadow, his straight sword slashed down from the middle of the shadow's head, and stopped abruptly when it was three or four inches above the ground, and then raised the sword above his head at an oblique angle, paused slightly, exhaled again, and with a loud shout, he slashed the sword in a straight way, and on the stone slab below where the tip of his sword was pointed, there was a shallow concave shape, and there was a lot of dust in it。 He still remembered the sword practice method that Ji Que told him when he left in the morning.

Ji Que sent someone to bring him to this practice ground early in the morning, there was a large black stone slab in the center of the training ground, Ji Que pointed to two shallow footprints on the stone slab and asked him to stand up, and handed him the dark heavy sword, at this time the weight of the sword was the same as yesterday, thinking that the true qi contained in the sword had dissipated. He stood up as Ji Que said, pointing to the front of the footprints he was standing: "Apprentice, you look here,"

Li Xun took a look, and saw that there was nothing unusual about it, except that it was slightly concave and covered with a thin layer of soil. Li Xun looked at Ji Que puzzled.

Ji Que waved his sleeves, and a light wind swirled and rolled the surrounding dust into this recess, spreading it thinly, and he could no longer see the traces of this recess. "Apprentice, raise your sword,"

Li Xun stood among the footprints on the stone, and raised his sword as he said.

Ji Que also stretched out his hand, raised his head together, and waved down: "Split" He was light and fluttering without any strength, obviously just making a appearance, Li Xun raised his sword with both hands and slashed down hard.

With the sound of "dang", the sword could no longer be cut when it was still three or four inches away from the concave place, and Ji Que stretched out a foot to block the sword at a height of three or four inches from the small pit. A soft force enveloped the sword, and although the sound of gold and iron sounded when the sword collided with his foot, showing the strength of his sword, Ji Que easily stopped the sword in the air, and even he couldn't feel the vibration in his hand.

Ji Que let go of his foot, signaling him to come again, Li Xun slashed down with another sword, this sword he used the strength of his whole body, and the sword body brought the sound of the wind, like a strong wind blowing through the swaying rags, "whew", and went straight to the small pit and slashed down.

"Dang" was still in that position, Ji Que stretched out his foot and blocked the sword. The sword and the feet intersect, and the sound is like gold and iron.

"Okay, apprentice, practice this sword today, every time you come out of the sword, you will come to the position where I block you, do you see the pit just now, the sword you practiced, when can you split the sword to this position just now, the sword wind brought up on the sword can blow away all the soil in this pit, and it is considered to be practiced. You try again. ”

Li Xun raised his sword and slashed down, this time he controlled the force, the sword just stopped when it reached the pit one or two inches, the floating soil on the small pit moved, blowing away the top few pieces of soil, Li Xun saw that there was no effect, and raised the sword again, this time he reduced the force of his control, and used ninety percent of his power in the action of swinging the sword down.

There was a soft muffled sound of "poof", but Li Xun did not put away the sword, and the tip of the heavy sword was all submerged into the small pit, stirring up a piece of flying dust, and the fierce soil even flew into Li Xun's eyes and mouth.

"Bah, bah" Li Xun hurriedly spit out the mud in his mouth, kept blinking, Ji Que stood motionless on the side, the dust could not enter until it flew to his side half a foot, and an invisible barrier blocked the dust from the body.

Li Xun looked at Ji Que embarrassedly, raised his hand, and wiped the dust off his face with his sleeve: "Master......"

Ji Que: "You did a good job, this sword is good, you have to do this, yes, move this hand down a little, yes, hold the handle with both hands like this, well, do it again." ”

Li Xun adjusted the position of the sword hand, took a deep breath, raised the sword above his head, and slashed down with a sword of "Huh", the sword hovered above the dirt pit, and a strong wind passed along the tip of the sword to the soil below, as if a person was blowing the dirt pit, blowing away a thin layer of floating mud above, revealing the bottom or the soil. It seems that this pit is not shallow.

Ji Que had some praise in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface: "Okay, do it again." ”

Li Xun was another sword, and the sword body roared down, bringing a gust of wind and blowing the dirt apart.

Ji Que pointed out several shortcomings of his sword and asked him to come again. Li Xun held up the more than 100 catties of meteoric iron sword, split more than 100 swords, and stirred up a lot of soil from the pit, and there was an inch on the surface, revealing the smooth pit wall of the small pit. He also gradually mastered some strength, and he could hang the sword within two or three inches of the pit, and no longer fall into the pit. It's just that more than 100 swords have been chopped down, and each sword has to use enough strength, and he also feels that his body is hot and has a trace of sweat.

Ji Que told him to stop, stood aside, took the sword from his hand, and stood on the footprint himself: "Apprentice, you watch." ”

Ji Que held the sword, the tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the center of his eyebrows, and gently stroked the sword body of the heavy sword with one hand, and a trace of memory flashed on his face. I didn't see him make a gesture, and with a flip of his wrist, the heavy sword with a trace of afterimage, with a whistling sound, stopped three inches above the pit in the blink of an eye, not a cent, not a lot. The tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the small pit, a strong wind with a muffled sound, "boom", the dirt in the small pit flew like a small bomb exploding in it, and the dirt inside was blown clean like washing, revealing the bottom of the pit, and a small pit half a foot deep appeared in front of Li Xun's eyes. Ji Que was surrounded by smoke and dust, his true yuan was running, and he was naturally spotless, but even Li Xun was disgraced.

Although he saw the sword that was about to pierce the sky yesterday, the sword in front of him still gave Li Xun a lot of shock. He looked at Ji Que: "Ah, master......"

Ji Que looked at Li Xun, saw a trace of frenzy flashing in his eyes, and threw the sword back to Li Xun, Li Xun reached out to take it, and found that the sword did not gain weight, indicating that Ji Jique did not enter the true yuan. Li Xun held the long sword, and shook it in disbelief, still the same as just now, Li Xun couldn't help but ask, "Master, how did you do this?"

Ji Que looked at Li Xun lightly: "To practice this swordsmanship, you must combine your eyes and hands, your hands and your heart, your heart and your mind, and instantly concentrate your own strength on your hands, feet and knees, knees and waist, waist and body, the sword is an extension of your body, you are using your own strength, plus the power of this sword, to aim at your enemy." He pointed to the pit at his feet, "Chop." ”

Li Xun held the heavy sword, walked to the boulder again, stood according to the position of the footprints, raised the long sword, and couldn't help but ask Ji Que: "Master, is this the place where you used to practice swords?"

Ji Que looked at the two footprints and the soil pit, and sighed a little for a while: "Yes, this is the master, your master and my father, your father, where our Ji family practices swords, you are the master when you were a child, and you also stood where you stood, and you used this heavy sword, your master is standing here where I stand, and your eldest brother, Li Lan also practiced the sword here, I haven't seen your eldest brother much, but he's ......" Ji Que didn't know what to think, so he didn't say anything.

Li Xun heard about his eldest brother Li Lan, and immediately became interested, in Qingbao Village, everyone didn't mention Li Lan much, Li Guangbo was afraid of causing Hu Yuehua to be sad, so he secretly instructed the staff in the village to mention Li Lan less, Su Su didn't know much, and he talked about some hearsay piecemeal, he couldn't be coherent, and there was no detailed impression, Wang Song basically messed with Li Guangbo every day, and he wouldn't talk about Li Lan with him, and he suddenly heard Ji Que mention it here, so he naturally wanted to know more:" Master, master, can you tell me about my eldest brother?"

Ji Que came back to his senses, stretched out his big sleeves, the true yuan flowed, and in a blink of an eye, he filled the dirt pit, and said: "I know what to do so much, hurry up and practice the sword!"

Li Xun was a little afraid of Ji Que from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw that Ji Que didn't allow it, he didn't dare to say more, raised the heavy sword in his hand, and swung the sword to chop.

"Drink"

Ji Que watched from the side, and sometimes said something to guide his luck method, and one master and one apprentice taught it on the martial arts training ground.

After about an hour, a servant hurried to the gate of the courtyard and saluted from afar: "City Lord, Lord Instrument Silin asks to see you." ”

Ji Que is the lord of a city, so he naturally has a lot of things to deal with, and when he saw someone coming, he asked Li Xun to practice diligently and go out to deal with government affairs by himself.

After Ji Que went out, Li Xun practiced this trick in this martial arts training ground boringly, he practiced for a while, and then bent down again, comparing to see how much soil was left in the pit, to see that the soil was about to run out, and then to fill in the pit with some mud and dust from the side, to the taste of some fun.

He practiced alone for a while, and then another person came in outside, carrying a strange weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword, a knife and not a knife, the person was tall and thin, with a long face, and at first glance he was a person who was not good at talking. He walked into the courtyard and raised his hand slightly, as if he had seen the salute: "Young Master Li, I am the city lord guard, the third division of the iron division." The city lord ordered me to come and supervise Young Master Li's practice. After he finished these few words coldly, he stood aside without saying a word, staring at Li Xun with a pair of gloomy eyes, as soon as Li Xun came into contact with his gaze, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, as if he was being targeted by a hungry beast, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
