"The master is above, the apprentice is not good at learning, and he is willing to accept punishment. Ou Xuzi said convincingly.

"The reason why Wudang swordsmanship is famous all over the world is because of its three swords, namely God, Wisdom and Flying, which are famous in the martial arts rivers and lakes, and you have only learned the fur of them. If I teach you the art of steelmaking now, you can only learn the surface, do you know why?"

Ou Xuzi was at a loss.

At this time, a crisp voice came from the entrance of the cave: "The ancestor is not only a sword ancestor, but also a very famous warrior, he understands the blade as well as his own body, the unity of the sword and the man, in order to comprehend the essence of the sword, with the spirit of the sky, know its tricks, control the sword with qi, hug Lu with God, and finally cast the Ying of hardware, the essence of the sun, out of the god, and the power of the service." ”

The old man shouted a few good words in a row, and replied loudly: "Miss Xuanhan has comprehended the essence of sword casting, she is really a strange woman, and the old man admires it very much." During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei once said that there is Kong Ming in the lonely, and there is water in the fish. And today, the Xuzi is even better than the Xuanhan, which is the luck of the Sword Ancestor. ”

Xiao Xuanhan knelt down, and replied with a shameful face: "No, my husband is newly married Yi'er, and he has been in love with his children all day long, delaying his future, is Xuanhan right, people will achieve nothing without spirit, so they are ashamed to live in the world to the ancestors, from today Xuanhan will wash and deliver meals to you, and never bother, husband, you should study with the master seriously, don't worry about the slave family." ”

Ou Xuzi lowered his head, blushing and unable to deal with it.

The old man strode to Xiao Xuanhan's side and said, "Please accept the old man's worship again." After speaking, he bowed deeply.

"The swordsmanship before the Tang Dynasty strived to break the enemy, simple and practical, and heavy stabbing was mostly used in battle formations. After the Song Dynasty, the swordsmanship, because it was once influenced by the military's guiding idea of abandoning the sword with the sword, several ups and downs, and was influenced by the 'sword weapon' and 'martial dance', the skills were gradually perfected, exquisite, and exquisite, and were mostly used in private fights, and the shape had a heavy change, which has been affected until now. The old man said to Ou Xuzi.

"Traditional swordsmanship, according to what I know, each sect has its essence preserved, but unfortunately there are not many that can really be preserved. Ou Xuzi replied.

"Yes, martial arts hegemony is mostly based on ulterior motives, bloody and bloody, and in the end, it is often undesirable to lose both sides. After the Han and Tang dynasties, the idea of weapons was to replace the sword with the ring head sword and the Tang knife, and there was a big difference in technique. When it came to the shape of the Song Zehui sword, he began to advocate taking the winger, adding actions such as taking wrists and stocks, and no longer blindly rushing in footwork, but interspersed with roundabouts. In the Chinese martial arts world, Wudang school swordsmanship is longer than boxing, and there is a saying of 'Shaolin boxing, Wudang sword' since ancient times. ”

"Wudang swordsmanship pays attention to the combination of body and sword, and sword and god. This is the essence of the technique of the Wudang sword. It emphasizes the body to carry the sword, the body, footwork, and swordsmanship are integrated, the body is like a dragon, the sword is like electricity, the footwork is flexible, and the body is flexible, so it is called 'Taiji waist, Bagua step'. ”

"Wudang Taiyi swordsmanship is more idea of the sword god one, the meaning, the god, the sword, the force through the sword, the air through the end of the sword; The spirit, mind, energy, and strength run through the swordsmanship. In the midst of silence, we must maintain full concentration, calm and calm, and the courage to wait for the opportunity; in the movement, we must be able to concentrate on the weakness, perceive the opponent, and adapt to the situation, so as to achieve the goal of taking advantage of the gap and making every shot, and winning the battle. The old man said.

Ou Xuzi did not answer.

The old man nodded and said happily: "You have comprehended the true meaning of the Wudang Sword, but now it is only verbal, and there is still a long way to go in action. ”

Ou Xuzi shook his head and said: "Listen to the master's words, I know that I am a frog at the bottom of the well, there is a Zhan Lu knife in my hand, although the weapon is exquisite, but the skill is far from the same, what is the difference between it and the Gongsun clan with a sword entertainment, I am ashamed and ashamed." ”

"You can think so, it's not in vain for me to have a hard time, do you see, there is a pool in the cave, it used to be a place where Zhao Gou and his concubines frolicked in the water, and now the pool has dried up. The old man is a clean person, from now on you will be responsible for carrying the water to fill the pool, remember, change the water every day. ”

Ou Xuzi looked at the huge pool and his scalp was numb, how much water did he have to carry to fill it, but he didn't dare to raise any objections, and immediately said, "Yes, master." ”

The old man looked at him and said, "Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and go home and get a bucket of water." ”

Ou Xuzi's next job is to carry water, from the river under the mountain to the Feiyun Cave, up and down a hundred meters, along the winding mountain path, pour the water into the pool, only lay a bottom, in the down mountain to pick up water, back and forth more than a dozen times, tired and out of breath, the water in the pool is not half full. The old man sat on the stone chair by the pool, and the stone table was filled with the wine and food sent by Xiao Xuanhan, and he drank and ate slowly, and from time to time called Xuanhan's cooking skills: "The world's food is nothing more than that." ”

Ou Xuzi was speechless.
