Chapter 3: The Mysterious Hermit Teaches Easy Swordsmanship (9)
Xiao Beiyou according to Shi Taosheng's instructions from moving stone slabs to dancing iron guns, serious and rigorous all the way down, he practiced very smoothly, made rapid progress, and got the "three-edged green steel sword" sent by Shi Taosheng, Shi Taosheng in addition to letting him move, lift, and dance various weapons, but also asked him to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain hundreds of meters high at least four times a day, urging Xiao Beiyou to practice foot strength and endurance, Xiao Beiyou trained more times than Shi Taosheng requires, Shi Taosheng was very satisfied with Xiao Beiyou's serious training.
One morning ten days later, Shi Taosheng asked Xiao Beiyou to carry a large canvas bag up the mountain, the bag was very heavy, and when he arrived at the mountain, Shi Taosheng asked Xiao Beiyou to open the bag, it turned out that the bag contained a variety of swords of different shapes and lengths.
Xiao Beiyou asked, "Uncle Shi, what are you asking your little nephew to bring so many swords up the mountain? Do you want your little nephew to use so many swords to practice?"
"It's not for you to practice all kinds of swords, but for you to use all kinds of swords to practice for you, first of all, you have to watch the old man's drills carefully, pay attention to observation, find out the habitual moves and offensive and defensive characteristics of various swords, keep it in mind, and then, with the 'three-edged green steel sword' in your hand to fight against the old man, the old man will use a variety of different swords to attack you, you have to defend carefully, and realize a variety of effective defense methods, of course, if you can wait for the opportunity to attack in defense, that is the best. Shi Taosheng said.
Xiao Beiyou watched carefully, Shi Taosheng picked up a long sword, and skillfully danced the sword, the sword was high and low, left and right, sometimes as if cutting down at the opponent's head, sometimes as if aiming at the opponent's chest, sometimes like a white dragon soaring into the air, sometimes like a flying arrow shooting directly. A long sword is haunted, Xiao Beiyou is dazzled, and he can't see the tricks of the long sword that Shi Taosheng dances for a while, all he sees is that the attack range of the long sword is very large, and it can quickly change the direction of the stab, the long sword can suddenly change from stabbing to the face to stabbing to the foot, and the change of attack direction is very fast, of course, the long sword is relatively bulky, and he wants to dance the long sword quickly. It takes a lot of skill. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get up to speed.
Xiao Beiyou looked at it with some confusion, Shi Taosheng knew that he couldn't see the moves of the long sword dance clearly for a while, so he deliberately held the long sword and danced again at a slow speed. Xiao Beiyou observed carefully. He realized. The dancing sword must be magnificent, and it must give full play to its wide attack range, while the defensive sword must strike in close quarters. Let the long sword not play to its advantage, it is possible to win,.
Shi Taosheng put down the long sword, took out two short swords from the bag, he held a short sword in each of his left and right hands, and practiced it, only to see him waving his arms, and the two short swords in his hands fluttered like snowflakes, sometimes turning in an arc, cutting and chopping at the same time, sometimes stabbing forward in a straight line, aggressive; two swords in the left and right hands, can block and stab, can dangle a sword, conceal the attack, and can go out with two swords at the same time, and attack at multiple points; sometimes you can also use the sword as a dart, throw it easily, and attack the opponent from a long distance unexpectedly.
Xiao Beiyou watched Shi Taosheng dance the two short swords very carefully, he realized that the advantage of the double short swords is that they have both offense and defense, there are many ways to change, and there are more points of attack, but the weakness of the short sword is that it is more difficult to attack from a distance, and to give full play to the flexible advantages of the short sword, it is necessary to attack as close as possible;
Shi Taosheng took out a wide-bodied sword, a medium-long sword, a double-edged toothed sword, a mother-in-law sword, a mandarin duck sword, a forked sword, a diamond-shaped sword, etc., and danced various moves respectively, and practiced them to Xiao Beiyou, Xiao Beiyou carefully observed, pondered carefully, and he repeatedly asked himself: "Where are the attack advantages of different swords? For different swords, how to guard, respond and attack in order to win? For different swords, what kind of offensive and defensive moves are the most effective attack methods?"
Watching Shi Taosheng dancing with all kinds of swords, Xiao Beiyou felt that his eyes were tired of seeing, and his memory of various sword moves was a little confused, but when he saw Shi Taosheng stop after dancing all kinds of swords, he was not tired at all, he breathed evenly, his expression was calm, and he was leisurely. Xiao Beiyou looked at his 'Uncle Shi', and was very respectful in his heart, and he admired his 'Uncle Shi' martial arts cultivation was very profound.
Shi Taosheng asked: "Nephew Xiao, the old man has already practiced all kinds of swords, have you seen them clearly? Can you understand the habitual moves and salient characteristics of different swords? Have you come up with the tricks and offensive methods to defend against various swords?"
"Uncle Shi, you dance too many swords, dance too fast, the little nephew has been observing very carefully, but still can't see clearly, the brain is a little messy, for a while still can't see the different moves and characteristics of various swords, just have some feelings, for example, the long sword has a wide range of attacks, but it is not conducive to hand-to-hand combat; the short sword has many attack points, but it is difficult to attack from a distance; the length of the sword is coordinated, and it can attack both at close range and from a distance, but the two swords are in strength, The move is unbalanced, and it is easy to expose the weakness of defense; relatively speaking, the mandarin duck sword is more ideal in both offense and defense, strength balance, move balance, etc., but, because it is too balanced, it is easy to appear flat and stable in attack, there is no attack characteristic, the opponent is easy to defend, therefore, all kinds of swords are often both strengths and weaknesses, and its advantages often hide great weaknesses, all kinds of swords are weapons, it is difficult to say what kind of sword has superiority, the key is to make it skilled, to make characteristics, to practice into a trick. Xiao Beiyou talked about his experience and thoughts after watching Shi Taosheng's sword practice.
"Lao Yu just practiced nearly ten kinds of swords in a short period of time, some of which also used two routines in the practice, so, just now in front of you showed a lot of swordsmanship moves, you have to memorize these moves is impossible, you just watched the drill, can understand some truth, it's already good, you now quietly recall the scene you just saw, can recall how much and how much, and when you encounter it in the future, you may have an impression, at the same time, this also helps you understand the different moves and characteristics of various swords. Shi Taosheng said.
Xiao Beiyou listened to Shi Taosheng's words, standing there quietly recalling the sword practice scene he had just seen, he thought about it like this, and suddenly felt that the moves used by various swords are regular, and they are all designed according to the number of swords (single sword or double sword), length, and weight, the long sword is mainly long-distance attack, the short sword is long in close combat, the double sword can have both attack and defense, and can combine virtual and real; the sword of special shape often has special moves, often one or two deadly moves.
At the same time, Xiao Beiyou also thought: "No matter what kind of sword, in actual combat, it is inseparable from the basic characteristics of the sword, the sword is different from the knife, the knife is mainly chopping, supplemented by cutting, splitting, cutting, stabbing, etc., while the sword is mainly stabbing and wiping, supplemented by chopping, splitting, striking, etc.; the sword is different from the mace, the mace is mainly striking, supplemented by stabbing, splitting, and hitting, the weight of the sword is relatively lighter, and it is not as good as the advantage of the gong in hitting, but it can be more flexible and changeable; the sword and the stick are also quite different, the stick is mainly beaten, supplemented by stabbing, splitting, Warping, etc., the stick does not have the sharpness of the sword, so it requires stronger strength, and the sword can play the advantage of sharpness, and the sword edge is caused by drinking blood and killing, which is more dangerous. ”
Xiao Beiyou said: "Uncle Shi, my little nephew saw you practice all kinds of swords, and the biggest realization is that the sword is different from knives, maces, sticks, whips, etc., it has two edges and one point, sharp edge, and it is easier to attack flexibly, and it may be easier to pick it up." ”
"Every weapon has its advantages, but also has its weaknesses, the key is to be able to give full play to its advantages, to avoid its weaknesses exposed, the sword is sharper than a stick, lighter than a mace, more bladed than a knife, more sharp than a steel whip, good use of the sword in the final analysis is to use specific skills and moves, give full play to the advantages and characteristics of the sword, with its strengths, attack the enemy is short, defeat the enemy. Shi Taosheng said.
"Uncle Shi practiced all kinds of swords, indeed to the little nephew is very inspired, before, the little nephew has never seen so many kinds of swords, not to think carefully about the difference between the sword and the knife, stick, mace, etc., and has not been able to deeply think about the advantages and characteristics of the sword, your wonderful drills, let the little nephew open his eyes, after that the little nephew will definitely pay attention to observe the advantages of various weapons, master its characteristics, this time you practice the sword, so that the little nephew is more cordial to the sword, more like the sword this flexible and sharp weapon, at the same time, the little nephew now loves you too much to send this precious'Three-edged green steel sword', thank you very much Uncle Shi for his care and trust in his little nephew!" Xiao Bei lobbied.
At this time, Shi Taosheng suddenly picked up the mandarin duck sword, held the sword with both hands, and shouted: "Look at the sword!" He didn't wait for Xiao Beiyou to react, so he stabbed Xiao Beiyou in both shoulders unexpectedly, Xiao Beiyou didn't expect Shi Taosheng to suddenly attack when talking to him, he was stunned, but immediately took a step back, his body sank, and he stood in a lunge, and put the "three-edged green steel sword" between the two swords that the other party stabbed in, and used the sword as a hammer, struck left and right, and opened the opponent's double swords.
Shi Tao shouted, "Good defense!" Then the mandarin duck sword double sword homeopathic half a circle, straight to Xiao Beiyou when the chest stab, Xiao Beiyou thought that the other party had just attacked with a double sword straight stab, and would not repeat a similar way of attacking, unexpectedly, the other party still raised the sword and stabbed directly, he was a little panicked for a while, and wanted to use the sword as a defense again, but he was forced to raise the sword too high, and he was unable to resist, he was forced to roll to the left on the spot, and the wolf avoided the assassination of the other party, and when he stood up, the opponent's left sword had already slashed towards his waist, and he hurriedly used the sword to separate the other party's sword, but the opponent's sword was just a cover attack trick, although the sword was separated, but the opponent's right sword was instantly close to his throat, and Xiao Beiyou had no choice but to admit defeat.
