Spring to autumn, the maple leaves in the mountains are red, from a distance to see a piece of fiery red maple trees are red and glowing, red and bright, look closely, and it seems to be a cluster of burning flames, inside the fire shadow, a vigorous figure is dancing, the silver sword in the hand spins a gust of wind, and the red reflection reflected on the sword body continues to flash, making the sword and the red reflection like two intertwined colorful butterflies flying.

The sword in Ou Xuzi's hand set off his otherworldly temperament, the sword light converged into a line, and in the blink of an eye, it cut the leaves in front of him, and the maple leaves were scattered, flying all over the sky, as if there was a whirlwind blowing, showing many gorgeous vortices in the air. The remnant sun trembled around him, and the wind let out a faint mournful roar. The flying maple leaves were cut into colorful and scattered crumbs one by one, falling like a rain of blood.

The old man stood aside and stroked his beard and nodded, suddenly, the sword qi vortex burst, and a stunning sword light galloped out from the center of the whirlpool, the sword light was divided and merged, connected from end to end, constantly floating, flickering in the red leaves, and a tall maple tree shook a few times and suddenly separated from the middle, falling down in a desolate cry.

Ou Xuzi put away his sword and stared, calm.

There was a burst of applause, and the old man walked over and said, "Okay, with the sword with qi, with the sword, you have done it." ”

Ou Xuzi replied, "I think it's much worse. ”

The old man smiled and said: "No, no, no, you are not a full-time warrior, and you are not suitable for killing on the battlefield, practicing martial arts is to strengthen your body and defend yourself, from today I will teach you the thirteen swords of Tai Chi, thirteen sentences and seven words of songs, do you remember?"

"Remembered. ”

"Okay, what's the first sentence?"

"Seven stars cross the tiger knife style. ”

The old man nodded and said: "The ancient knife technique is divided into splitting, chopping, chopping, intercepting, picking, teasing, pushing, piercing, supporting, cutting, wiping, chopping, belting, blocking, sweeping and other technical techniques. Tai Chi Thirteen Swords attaches great importance to the combination of internal force and heavy qi in your body, which is the so-called heavy qi and light body, and you can cultivate to the point where you can always feel that the qi in your body is heavier than the flesh and blood shin in your body, so that you can cultivate to the extreme of the knife. ”

Ou Xuzi listened carefully.

The old man continued: "The first move of the Tai Chi Thirteen Swords is the Seven Star Cross Tiger Knife Style, first stand with your feet apart, shoulder width apart, your body is naturally relaxed, hold the knife in your left hand, the back of the knife is inward, the blade is outward, your right hand is naturally drooping, and you are looking ahead. Then slowly shift the center of gravity to the right foot, make a fist with the right hand, abduct the left hand, do the seven stars on the upper step, and then step back with the right foot to straddle the tiger ......"

The master and apprentice taught one to learn, until the sun went down and the jade rabbit rose in the east, the two were still practicing, Xiao Xuanhan stood aside with a basket and watched, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Master, husband, it's time to eat." ”

The two of them reacted.

The old man picked up the branch as a knife and compared it, in Ou Xuzi's eyes, the master's knife skills were less gorgeous than the knife skills he made, and more sharp. There is less lightness, but more calmness. Ou Xuzi saw clearly that there was a slight pause at the moment when the master changed moves, although it was only a momentary pause, he still caught it.

The Tai Chi Thirteen Swords are not the longer and more powerful the moves of the company, but the faster they change, the higher the degree of convergence with the body, the more ruthless and fierce they are. Your opponent simply can't take care of your momentary pause, and the sword light is like a cloud, slashing at you from all directions, making you unable to guard against it. Moreover, the master's knife skills have truly achieved the unity of human knives, and there is no leakage, and I feel that he is not dancing the knife, but proficient in the chest.

The master's thirteen sword techniques and sword momentum were superimposed, forming a force like thunder, and actually killed the void air flow in the forest to an explosion, and the air around the blade with a radius of half a meter was like a punctured balloon, instantly exploded into countless fragments, accompanied by pieces of fallen leaves, floating. Galloping and escaping in all directions. Without deep vitality, majestic strength cannot be made.

Ou Xuzi knew his gap.

Spring to winter to a few spring and autumn, the old man not only taught him the knife technique, but also taught him his own steel-making technology without reservation, what made Ou Xuzi even happier was that his wife gave birth to a lovely son for him, named Ou Fusheng, Ou Xuzi loved like a pearl in his palm.

At this time, the war in the south was tight, the Yuan army was deepening step by step, and had reached the south of Hangzhou, the army of the Southern Song Dynasty was defeated like a mountain, and the people were displaced and fled in all directions, but they could not withstand the brutality of the Yuan people, and the blood of the direct killing flowed into a river, and the corpses were lying in ambush all over the field.

The people of Xianglong Village also began to be uneasy, some families fled, and some still had illusions that the Yuan army would not go deep into this place, and they were restless and lived like a year.

The old man had already observed the situation and said to Ou Xuzi: "Xuzi, your martial arts have almost been learned, Zhan Lu Dao has fully accepted you, I see that the Great Song Dynasty is over, and the war will soon spread here, Feiyun Cave is not a hiding place, you and your wife must be prepared to evacuate this place at any time, so as not to be harmed by the Yuan army." ”
