Chapter 186: On the Sword
Hua Bushi said: "I also think that the name of the 'waning moon' is good, there is a poem and cloud road 'people have joys and sorrows, the moon has clouds and sunny days', in my opinion, although the bright moon has a broken time, but there is also a perfect day, although the moon is in front of you, one day can become perfect, it is not only the hope, but also the way of the rotation of celestial phenomena, so the 'waning moon' is not an ominous name. ”
He paused slightly, and then said, "Qianli, I will give you this 'Wanling Moon' sword, you can try it first." ”
Yu Qianli hugged the sword in his chest, gave a deep salute, and said: "Thank you Master for the sword, and the apprentice will try the sword with the newly created swordsmanship, and I implore the master for guidance." ”
Hua Bushi nodded, took a few steps back to the wall, and watched Yu Qianli practice swordsmanship with his eyes wide open.
I saw Yu Qianli light up a starting hand, his wrist flipped, and the long sword in his palm had stabbed out, which was the first sword of "Dripping Water Piercing Stones".
Any swordsman has his own accustomed sword, just because if the weight, shape, and length of the sword in his hand change, it will inevitably affect the power and speed of the move, and for the swordsman, these two points are enough to determine life and death when facing the enemy. Therefore, if a swordsman wants to use a new sword, he must have a process of testing the sword, and he can only use it if he is familiar with it.
Yu Qianli's usual sword is the standard three-foot Qingfeng. Although this "waning moon" sword is also three feet, it is slightly heavier than the standard sword, and the blade is curved, and the sword style used with this sword will be different from ordinary green steel swords. Normally, it will be a little slower because of the heavier weight.
However, Yu Qianli's stabbing moves with this sword were no slower than the long sword he was used to. Just because each sword of the "Lone Star Sword Technique" is stabbed, it takes an arc-shaped line, although this "Waning Moon" sword has a weight barrier, but the slightly curved blade of the sword has a wonderful reduction in wind resistance and a slight increase in speed.
When Yu Qianli stabbed out the first five swords, he didn't even feel the difference between this sword and the long sword he usually used.
It wasn't until he stabbed the sixth sword that he felt a little sluggish, because at this time, the power of the sword had reached an extremely high level, and the first weight of the sword in his hand and the potential energy generated were already extraordinary, after all, the weight was more affected than the wind resistance!
By the time the ninth sword stabbed out, the speed and strength had reached an astonishing level, Yu Qianli only felt that the long sword in his hand was almost about to fly out of his hand, and on the side where the blade was broken, there seemed to be several air swirls, which actually pushed the entire sword to fly out!
Only heard a "buzz" sound, Yu Qianli finally paused the sword momentum, the "Wanyue" sword was as bright as silver, the blade was intact, and on the blue brick ground in front of Yu Qianli, a crack had suddenly appeared, which was actually cut open by the sword qi of Shicai's sword!
And Yu Qianli stood on the ground, his clothes were soaked, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, as if the sword just now had exhausted all his liliang.
After a long time, he slowly withdrew his long sword and said, "The strength of the ninth sword is too strong, and it is almost impossible to control it for thousands of miles, so it really shouldn't be." ”
Hua Bushi, who was standing on the side, was full of joy, as if he had picked up a big ingots that fell from the sky, and said again and again: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! This 'Waning Moon' sword is heavier than the sword you originally used, so the liliang used in each of your swords is a little bigger, and when it comes to the ninth sword, the power is superimposed, it is much stronger than before, and it is naturally difficult to control, so it is not surprising." ”
Yu Qianli said: "The sword momentum is difficult to control, and it can't be used freely when facing the enemy. ”
Hua Bushi said: "There is no need to worry if the heat is not enough, there is a way to improve, this style of swordsmanship you created is indeed a great surprise to me, come, let's talk in the house." ”
He couldn't help but say, stretched out his hand to pick up Yu Qianli and walked towards the house, almost out of shape. Seeing Hua Bushi's happy appearance with a smile on his face, Yu Qianli couldn't help but be a little stunned, there didn't seem to be many times in his memory when the master was so happy.
The two walked into the room, and Hua Bushi pulled Yu Qianli to sit down on the chair in front of the table.
Sitting on the chair, the eldest young master was still happy to close his mouth, and after a long time, he slightly restrained his smile, and suddenly asked: "Qianli, I took Miss Qiaoyun as an apprentice and sent her to Wuyang City, do you blame me?"
Yu Qianli thought that Hua Bushi would talk about swordsmanship, but unexpectedly, he mentioned Sun Qiaoyun, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and replied after a while: "Miss Qiaoyun was originally sent by the master, and now it is natural to take her away, how can Qianli blame the master." ”
Hua Bushi looked at Yu Qianli's face and said, "Is this your true words, don't you like Miss Qiaoyun?"
Yu Qianli said: "Qianli has already made an oath, and in this life, the goal is to pursue the strongest swordsmanship, and he has long been out of mind about the private relationship between men and women. ”
Achieving the supreme martial arts is the ideal in the hearts of countless martial artists throughout the ages, not so much a wish, but a spirit, which is the way of "martial arts".
The so-called "martial arts" contains not only the learning and comprehension of peerless martial arts, but also the courage to be fearless in the face of strong enemies, the desire to work hard to win, the will to never turn back when defeating, and even the wisdom of survival in the fight.
Throughout the ages, there have been many "martial artists" who have dedicated their lives to martial arts, and they will not hesitate to give everything in order to reach the limit of martial arts, and Xuanyuan Ba, the "sword evil", is one of them. Perhaps in the eyes of mortals, these people are out-and-out madmen, but in the eyes of real warriors, they are strong men standing at the pinnacle of the world, worthy of respect and even admiration.
Hua Bushi understands this well, and of course he also knows what Yu Qianli is talking about.
But at this time, he shook his head and said, "What you said is not right. I also thought that I could concentrate on it, but I wanted to realize my ideals regardless of my emotions, and I knew that Zuihou still couldn't escape the trap of love, and you must be the same as me. ”
Yu Qianli lowered his eyes, but did not speak.
Hua Bushi said again: "Sword practitioners, the most important thing is to be sincere to the sword, in your heart, whether there is only the way of the sword, or there are other distracting thoughts, even if you can deceive others, or even deceive yourself, it is not able to deceive your heart sword." When ** can create that style of swordsmanship to force back a strong enemy, but in the past ten days, not only has there been no inch, but even the heat of the day has not been reached, what is the reason, don't you realize it at all?"
Yu Qianli's face turned pale, and he suddenly fell to the ground on his knees, knelt on the ground, and said: "The disciple really likes Miss Qiaoyun in his heart, so he can't concentrate on sword cultivation, please punish the master!"
Hua Bushi hurriedly leaned over, helped Yu Qianli up, and said: "Although we are called master and apprentice, there is no difference between us and friends, you must not be like this, not to mention that Miss Qiaoyun was originally sent to you by me, she is a very haode girl, and there is nothing wrong with you liking her." ”
He helped Yu Qianli to sit down in a chair, and said, "Do you know, why was I so happy just now?"
Yu Qianli said: "The disciple doesn't know. ”
Hua Bushi said: "All along, I can't be sure whether it was right or wrong to pass on the 'Lone Star Sword Technique' to you that day. It is indeed a swordsmanship that is very suitable for you to practice, but twenty years ago, Xuanyuan's predecessors who founded this swordsmanship, although he had a swordsmanship that was unparalleled in the world, was lonely all his life, and finally he could not escape being killed. Your personality is already arrogant, and I am afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of Xuanyuan's predecessors, especially if you hurt yourself in order to win, which makes me very worried. ”
"In the past few months, I have always given you some leisure and fun things, just to want you to cultivate your mind, add some interest, and not blindly indulge in kendo, but taste more of the joy and pleasure of the world. You must know that although there is sorrow and helplessness in this world, there are also many happy things, and it is rare to be born, but if you completely go against the world and deviate from the scriptures, it is not enough. It's just that your will to practice swords is extremely firm, and these small paths are really difficult to make you tempted, so I can be regarded as a superfluous move. ”
Yu Qianli said: "It turns out that the master has always had such a hard time for Qianli, and Qianli not only failed to understand it, but sometimes blamed the master, which is really ashamed." ”
Hua Bushi said: "You don't have to be ashamed, because this is my extra move." Only today did I know that those previous worries were completely groundless, and your swordsmanship was not at all the swordsmanship of the 'Sword Evil' Xuanyuan Ba's predecessors!"
Yu Qianli was stunned and said, "Isn't it, isn't that the parchment scroll contained in the authentic 'Lone Star Sword Technique'?"
Hua Bushi said: "There is no doubt that the swordsmanship of the parchment scroll is the true copy of the 'Lone Star Swordsmanship', but the 'Lone Star Swordsmanship' you practice is different from the 'Lone Star Swordsmanship' of Xuanyuanba's predecessors, just because you are Yu Qianli, not Xuanyuanba." ”
Yu Qianli thought for a moment and said, "Qianli doesn't understand, please ask the master for advice." ”
Hua Bushi said: "The son said on the river, the deceased is like a husband, reluctant to live day and night, and what he said is the truth that 'everything flows, and nothing lives forever'." Although you practiced the swordsmanship of Xuanyuan's predecessors, your encounter nature is different from Xuanyuan's predecessors, and your understanding of sword intent is also different, so your 'Lone Star Sword Technique' is not the 'Lone Star Swordsmanship' of Xuanyuan's predecessors back then. ”
A Western philosopher once said, "It is impossible for a person to step into the same river twice", just because when a person enters the river for the second time, the flow in the river is no longer the original flow. Everything in the world is constantly changing, constantly being produced and destroyed, and it is the same "Lone Star Sword Technique", which is in the hands of Yu Qianli, but it is different from that in the hands of the "Sword Evil" Xuanyuan Ba.
Xuanyuan Ba's personality is stoic and ruthless, so he will kill his wife and children in order to cultivate his sword, although Yu Qianli is arrogant, but he is kind in nature, and he will never do such cruel things. Hua Bushi realized this, and realized that his previous worries were actually in vain, how could he not be overjoyed.
Yu Qianli seemed to have an understanding, but he still didn't understand, and said, "How does Master know that my swordsmanship is different from the swordsmanship of Xuanyuan's predecessors in the past?"
Hua Bushi said: "I only knew from watching you practice swords just now, among the thirteen styles of 'Lone Star Sword Technique' of Xuanyuan's predecessors, there is no one you created at all." ”
Yu Qianli was completely moved, and stood for a long time before he said: "Really, but there are only four styles recorded on that parchment scroll, how can the master know that my style of 'Stone Piercing Sword' is not among the other nine styles?"
