Chapter 111 Sword Moves
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaohua still came to the tree, but Yu Lao hadn't moved yet. Zhang Xiaohua stood still with a stake and started to fight with his incomplete set of boxing skills. Because he knew that Yu Lao would teach him swordsmanship, he was not sure whether he would Zhang Xiaohua no longer cares about this set of boxing skills as before. It's like a naughty boy who cares about his beloved toy. Suddenly an adult gives him a more fun one, and the naughty boy's longing for the previous toy fades away. Generally, even if it is lost, you will not cry as before.
Although he had such thoughts, when Zhang Xiaohua completed the boxing skills he had practiced last night, he still felt excited. After all, according to his own experience, this incomplete set of boxing skills, after his own That powerful memory was tested all night long, but now I can practice it, and I will definitely not forget it in the future. Zhang Xiaohua almost looked up to the sky and howled. Oh my God, I, Zhang Xiaohua, can finally practice the whole set of boxing techniques that are missing!
Moreover, there was an enemy who immediately taught me the sword skills that I had never dreamed of. This good luck, I really can’t say, could it be the concentrated explosion of my good character over more than ten years?
He couldn't help but raise his head, look at the rising sun, and take a deep breath of cool air. This was really the happy life of country boy Zhang Xiaohua.
While he was intoxicated, a figure passed by. Zhang Xiaohua's eyebrows were the same. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could still feel the person's aura. It must be Mr. Yu.
Sure enough, before the figure arrived, Mr. Yu's voice arrived first and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, have you been here already?"
Zhang Xiaohua said respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Yu, I have already practiced a set of boxing techniques."
Yu Lao said: "Hey, you got up quite early. It seems that you are a person who can endure hardships. My vision is right."
Zhang Xiaohua muttered to herself: "It's not that I don't want to sleep. It's a pity that as soon as the sun rises, I will wake up. I can't go back to sleep. Do you think I don't want to sleep a little longer?"
Naturally, Mr. Yu couldn't hear Zhang Xiaohua's slander, and continued: "Actually, although you came early, out of politeness, you should say to me, 'Mr. Yu, I just arrived too.' That's right. That's okay." Make me feel that you are a sensible child who can consider others. This can also be used when you date young girls in the future, so you have to remember it."
Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin, feeling very puzzled, but she still kept it firmly in mind.
Mr. Yu was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaohua's attitude and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. Come here, let's go over there. My swordsmanship is extraordinary. Don't let He Tianshu and the others steal it."
After saying that, he took Zhang Xiaohua around a few turns and came to a tree inside. He Tianshu must have turned around a few times even if he wanted to see them.
When the two of them stood still, Mr. Yu said seriously: "Zhang Xiaohua, I told you the stakes of this swordsmanship last night. Can you remember it clearly?"
Zhang Xiaohua also put away other thoughts and said: "Yes, Mr. Yu, I have already remembered it, and I will definitely do as you say in the future."
Mr. Yu continued: "I got this sword technique from a damaged sheepskin. I don't know the name of the sword technique myself. Just call it an unknown sword move. In fact, a simple sword move is the same as a simple boxing technique. They are all vulnerable to the vast internal force, but sword moves have a sword as a medium after all. If used properly, clever sword techniques may be able to break through the defense of internal force. And this sword technique is also different from other sword techniques. It has its own set of formulas that can drive your internal strength, assist the long sword and body shape, and achieve the best timing for sword use."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua interrupted: "But, Mr. Yu, I don't know how to use internal energy."
Yu Lao frowned and said, "When I'm talking, don't interrupt like this. It can easily disturb my train of thought. If I forget a sentence or two, don't blame me if you become obsessed with practicing in the future."
Zhang Xiaohua covered her mouth and nodded vigorously to indicate that she understood.
Then, Mr. Yu shook his head and recited the popular sword formula: "If you want to practice magical skills,
Lead the sword from the palace. "
When Zhang Xiaohua heard it, he felt that it was really profound. How come he couldn't understand it? But he couldn't understand the first sentence. How should he practice the sword techniques in the future? He couldn't help being anxious, covering his mouth with his left hand and waving his right hand vigorously. Seeing this, Mr. Yu frowned and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiaohua let go of his left hand, took a deep breath and asked: "Mr. Yu, what does it mean to lead a sword from the palace?"
Yu Lao was stunned and said: "Why do you want to commit suicide in the palace?"
Zhang Xiaohua was also stunned and said, "Isn't the first sentence of your sword formula just now 'If you want to practice magical skills, draw the sword from the palace'?"
When Yu Lao heard this, his face turned red, he patted his forehead and said sarcastically: "Mistake, mistake, I have read too many martial arts novels. Reality overlaps with illusion. What I said just now is not true. I will say it again."
So, Mr. Yu recited the difficult-to-read sword formula seriously again. It wasn't much, just a few words, but Zhang Xiaohua couldn't understand it at all.
Mr. Yu didn't explain it, he just asked Zhang Xiaohua to remember it firmly.
Zhang Xiaohua has learned from the past, how can he still dare to believe it? He asked Mr. Yu to recite it three times. After he remembered it, he read it several times in front of Mr. Yu. When he saw Mr. Yu nodding his head, he felt relieved.
Afterwards, Mr. Yu pulled out his long sword, assumed the sword stance, and explained the first change to Zhang Xiaohua.
Things in this world may seem easy when others do them, but they are difficult when you do them yourself. Zhang Xiaohua already understood the changes of this sword move after Yu Lao explained it twice. However, when he picked up the branch and used it himself, he was unable to meet Yu Lao's requirements no matter what.
After doing this several times, Mr. Yu got tired. He looked at the sky and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, let's stop here today. Go back and think about it yourself and try to figure out the changes in the sword moves. You also need to recite the sword skills all the time. You must remember to be firm.”
Zhang Xiaohua asked in embarrassment: "I know the changes in sword moves, and I will naturally practice them diligently, but I don't understand this sword technique at all."
Mr. Yu disagreed and said: "Sword tactics are the general outline of the changes in sword moves. Once you understand the sword moves a little bit, I will explain it to you in detail. This general outline is related to the use of internal force. Now you have no internal force. That's right. Too much is not good. Just memorize it carefully."
Only then did Zhang Xiaohua understand and nodded in agreement.
Later, Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Mr. Yu, you promised to let me borrow your boxing manual yesterday. I wonder when is the right time?"
Yu Lao thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until you understand this first change. After all, you have to be distracted when reading boxing manuals. It's your first contact with swordsmanship. You'd better wait until you make progress."
It makes sense for Zhang Xiaohua to think about it. Moreover, the perfection of this boxing technique did not happen overnight. He had been waiting for several months and was not in a hurry.
So Zhang Xiaohua kept reviewing the sword technique in his mind throughout the whole day, thinking about the changes in this move whenever he had time. When he had time to stay in the house, he also took branches and kept making gestures, but always It cannot be displayed satisfactorily.
In fact, not only was this Zhang Xiaohua's first contact with swordsmanship, but he still couldn't understand it very well, and his right hand was injured, and the fingers were not as flexible as normal, and he could not control the strength and angle well. This was the first step that made it difficult for him to sell this swordsmanship.
After dinner, taking advantage of the twilight, Mr. Yu slowly performed the changes of sword moves again, and carefully explained the precautions and techniques when performing them. Zhang Xiaohua listened very carefully and combined his thoughts during the day. , it looks a bit like it when used, but Yu Lao still shakes his head.
Zhang Xiaohua practiced for a while, but still made no progress. She was inevitably a little discouraged. She looked at her right hand and thought to herself: "Is this right hand really useless? Judging from Yu Lao's intention, this change of technique does not seem to be too difficult. , why can’t I practice well?”
Immediately, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Mr. Yu, look, my right hand is a bit inflexible. Can I use my left hand?"
Mr. Yu did not nod as he expected, but said quietly: "Zhang Xiaohua, are you encountering some difficulties and want to avoid them? If so, it doesn't matter if you don't learn sword moves, why do you need to eat this? bitter?"
Zhang Xiaohua argued: "No, Mr. Yu, I just felt that holding the branch with my right hand was extremely inflexible and I couldn't grasp the strength and position of the branch. Then I thought of the left hand."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "Actually, I have thought about the problem you are considering. It's just that most of the swordsmanship in this world are right-handed swords. There are very few left-handed swordsmen. This swordsmanship also uses the right hand. The same is true for the sword manual I got. Moreover, the meridians of the left and right hands are also different. The movement of internal force in the sword manual is also written for the right hand. Naturally, I cannot directly teach you the right hand using the sword manual. Moreover, You see, where did I get my left arm? Without a left arm, it is naturally impossible to change the right-hand sword into a left-hand sword through the practice of right-hand sword."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's silence, Mr. Yu continued: "So, I can't teach you this left-handed sword. In fact, I have another important thought in teaching you swordsmanship."
Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled and asked: "What else?"
Mr. Yu solemnly nodded and said: "The practice of this sword technique pays most attention to the palm and wrist. Your right hand has been injured. If you don't train it properly, it may not be able to recover. I taught you this sword technique because of this idea. , let you practice your right hand diligently. When you practice for a long time, maybe God will open your eyes and your right hand can be restored to its original state? If you quit now, I guess you will not only not be good at swordsmanship, If you have achievements, even if you are boxing, you will not succeed.”
Only then did Zhang Xiaohua understand. He bowed to the end and said, "Mr. Yu, thank you for your kindness. I understand, so let's practice well."
Yu Lao smiled and said: "Okay, there is no need to be pretentious. Only when you practice well can you be considered a real skill."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, picked up the branch, and practiced over and over again. He gradually got better and better. Even when Yu Lao left, he didn't even notice.
While Zhang Xiaohua was practicing, suddenly, a tree branch fell down. Zhang Xiaohua woke up and felt extra pain in her right hand. Not only was her wrist sore, but her five fingers felt like they were broken. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart. Could it be that the wound broke again?
I had to stand there, not daring to practice any more.
Only after waiting for a long time did the pain gradually lessen.
Zhang Xiaohua knew that the wound had not burst again, but the exercise of the fingers could only be done in moderation. Today, it was excessive. You should be more careful in the future. If you do this excessively every day, not only will you not be able to achieve good results, but you will also be more likely to It is the deformation of the fingers and the re-breaking of the bones.
Since he couldn't practice swordsmanship, Zhang Xiaohua thought of his boxing skills again, so he stood still and used his hundred single boxing moves one by one. Although they were not coherent, they were still very smooth and refreshing.
After finishing the boxing, seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Xiaohua picked up the branch with her left hand and walked back slowly.
Zhang Xiaohua kept swinging the branches while walking. Suddenly, something moved in his heart. Although Mr. Yu had stopped him from trying the left-handed sword just now, Mr. Yu did not say that he could not use the left-handed sword. Although the meridians of the left and right hands were different, he now had no internal strength. , let alone using sword techniques, it means that the changes in sword moves on the right hand can also be used on the left hand. Yu Lao couldn't teach him the left-hand sword because he didn't have a left hand and couldn't experience the changes of his right hand. Why couldn't he use his left hand to use the changes of his right hand?
The more Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought it was possible. She looked up and around, and felt that there was no one around. So she put the lantern aside, dragged the branches to the side, and thought carefully. Yu Lao's professor slowly started to use his left hand.
Zhang Xiaohua's left hand has been used for several months. Although he was not born a left-hander, his left hand is now as flexible as a left-hander. The professor from Chongqing Lao Chen used Zhang Xiaohua's slow left hand to move as smoothly as flowing water. When it comes out, the first time it is still a bit clumsy and unharmonious, but after the wind is over, the next few times it becomes more and more smooth.
This unexpected discovery made Zhang Xiaohua very happy. It seemed that he had found another way to practice swordsmanship. After he practiced it a few more times and confirmed that he had really mastered it with his left hand, he picked up the lantern and went back to the house to rest.
Zhang Xiaohua woke up in the morning and wanted to tell Mr. Yu the good news as soon as possible. However, when he practiced again, the same problem as when he practiced boxing appeared again.
That is, the changes in the sword moves performed by his left hand are different from those of Professor Yu. There are deviations in many places. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua did not forget anything this time.
Looking at the unrecognizable sword moves he performed, Zhang Xiaohua was silent, and the idea of announcing the good news to Yu Lao was killed. Forget it, instead of letting others laugh, it is better to have fun by yourself.
Thinking that Mr. Yu was coming soon, Zhang Xiaohua stopped practicing his left-hand sword and just stretched his muscles. Just as he was about to practice his one hundred single-move boxing technique, Mr. Yu came.
When Mr. Yu asked about last night's practice, Zhang Xiaohua told the truth about the condition of his right hand. He opened his mouth and wanted to tell him about the sword in his left hand, but in the end he couldn't.
After listening to Zhang Xiaohua's words, Mr. Yu looked a little serious. He grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's right hand, touched it carefully, and said, "Well, you practiced a little too much yesterday. As you guessed, this right hand is a little stiff. Let’s take a break today, think about the changes during the day, and then practice again in the evening.”
After saying that, he once again told Zhang Xiaohua not to practice swordsmanship during the day, then he drifted away and went straight to the dining room.
Seeing that there was no need to practice swordsmanship this morning, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to continue practicing her boxing skills. She repeated a hundred single moves over and over again. The more she practiced, the smoother she became, which further strengthened her desire to complete this boxing technique as soon as possible. I look forward to the feeling of completing the boxing skills and doing it all over again by myself.
After practicing the boxing skills, he looked at the sky. It seemed that there was still some time before dinner. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but put his mind on the sword in his left hand. Memory changes in sword moves.
Over and over again, the performance was very smooth, and it seemed to be as good as Mr. Yu's performance. While Zhang Xiaohua was immersed in the world of the left-hand sword, suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua felt that there seemed to be a warm current flowing along her arm with the changes of the sword moves. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but stop. When she felt it carefully, it was gone. Traces.
So, Zhang Xiaohua slowly cast it again, but still didn't feel anything. It seemed to be his own illusion. Zhang Xiaohua cast it again quickly, but still nothing. Zhang Xiaohua shook his head, really thinking that his feeling was wrong.
However, when Zhang Xiaohua continued to use his sword skills again, he accidentally felt this way again, and he realized that he was not wrong. Thinking about it again, it seemed that the appearance of this warm current had nothing to do with his sword skills. The speed has something to do with it.
Just when he was about to try different speeds and find the warm current, a cry interrupted him: "Zhang Xiaohua, where are you?"
Zhang Xiaohua listened carefully and heard that it was Nie Xiaoer's voice. She couldn't help but be confused, why did this guy suddenly appear?
When he came out of the woods, he realized that the sun had already risen three poles. Everyone was getting ready to work in the medicine fields, and he hadn't even eaten breakfast.
Looking at He Tianshu's concerned eyes, Zhang Xiaohua said nonchalantly: "Captain He, this, I was practicing...boxing in the woods, and I forgot about the time."
He Tianshu said: "Zhang Xiaohua, do you know what haste makes waste? Some things cannot be achieved overnight. You have to learn to be down-to-earth and walk step by step. I support hard work and study, but don't worry about your body. I don’t agree with practicing martial arts. These days, you are always hiding alone in the woods. Are you still practicing your boxing skills? "
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "That's right."
He Tianshu said with a smile: "I know you are afraid that we will laugh at you if you practice those incomplete boxing techniques. Just practice and think about your body. Your right hand is not completely healed yet. You must pay attention to rest. If your right hand is If you are exhausted again, you will no longer be able to practice even the incomplete boxing techniques."
Zhang Xiaohua said respectfully: "Captain He, I understand. I will definitely be careful in the future."
He Tianshu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, just know it. If you are not shy in the future, you should practice with us. We promise not to laugh at you."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the three people next to her, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Forget it, Captain He, I'll just practice by myself."
He Tianshu said: "Okay, it's up to you. I'll ask Nie Xiaoer to bring some breakfast and put it in your room. Go eat it quickly and go to work in the medicine field."
