Kneeling on the ground, Qin Fengming listened quietly to what his master said, his heart already filled with ups and downs. If he could worship Hall Master Zhang as his master this time, his future achievements would naturally be much better than those of his fellow disciples.
"My teacher also has a daughter who is fifteen years old this year. After practicing martial arts for a while, I will introduce you to her. Now, my teacher will officially teach you the sword skills. This set of sword skills is divided into thirteen styles. Today I will teach you the first style.
Here you go, look carefully."
After Hall Master Zhang finished speaking, he swung his sword, swayed again, and began to perform the sword moves extremely slowly. This time, he performed the sword moves like a Tai Chi sword, and every subtle movement was extremely clear.
Qin Fengming watched carefully from the side, his eyes unblinking, for fear of missing even a little bit. At the same time, following the master's slow movements, Qin Fengming's hands and feet began to swing.
When Hall Master Zhang finished practicing the first move, Qin Fengming also closed his eyes, silently thinking about his master's every move during the martial arts practice. Unknowingly, he entered the realm of emptiness and clarity.
Although this set of sword techniques only has thirteen moves, each move is divided into eight moves, and each move has eight changes. With such complexity, this set of sword techniques appears to be extremely complicated.
Qin Fengming thought silently, and while dancing with his hands and feet, the candle-incense time passed unknowingly. During this period, Hall Master Zhang stood aside, looking at Qin Fengming with a smile on his face. He did not interrupt Qin Fengming with a sound.
.
After a long time of candle incense, Qin Fengming opened his eyes, with a look of contemplation on his face. After bowing and saluting, he respectfully said: "Master, this sword technique is very complicated. I would like to ask the master to practice it again."
Is it good for just once?”
After hearing Qin Fengming's words, Hall Master Zhang did not say anything. Together with his sword skills, he slowly practiced the first of the Thirteen Postures of Piaoliu again.
Qin Fengming looked at it carefully, then closed his eyes again and fell into deep thought.
This time, time did not pass long. After a cup of tea, Qin Fengming suddenly opened his eyes, picked up a branch next to him, and started practicing each move like a master.
As he watched the young man in front of him practice his moves, Hall Master Zhang's face showed an even more surprised look than before.
"Awei, have you ever seen such a genius? My husband only practiced the first of the Thirteen Piao Liu Postures twice, and he was already able to practice them perfectly."
Just when Qin Fengming finished practicing the first sword technique of the Thirteen Styles of Piaoliu, he suddenly heard his master say this. He was startled and immediately turned around.
But at some point, there were already two beautiful women standing more than ten feet away, looking at him with smiles on their faces.
One of the two women was about thirty years old and had an extremely beautiful face. Qin Fengming actually recognized the other as the stunning girl he had seen in that small valley a few months ago.
Seeing these two people, Qin Fengming didn't know what to do for a while.
"Haha, I think back then, when my master taught me how to practice the first move, it took me five days to practice it completely. When I taught Xiaotong, it took him four days to teach him exactly. Unexpectedly,
It’s really surprising that a young disciple like you can master the first move so quickly.”
As the beautiful young woman spoke, she moved lightly and walked with the girl towards where Qin Fengming was standing.
At this moment, Hall Master Zhang remembered that he had not introduced the disciple he had just accepted. So he laughed and said, "Feng Ming, come here. These two people are my wife Liu Wei and my daughter Zhang Ruotong. Hurry up."
I’ve come to see you.”
Hearing this, Qin Fengming already understood. With a quick step, he came to the young woman. He bent his legs and kowtowed: "My disciple, Qin Fengming, has seen the Master and kowtows to you."
The beautiful woman looked at Qin Fengming and her eyes flashed with joy. She stretched out her hands and helped Qin Fengming up.
Qin Fengming walked up to the girl again, bowed and saluted: "Junior brother, give me a gift to senior sister."
"We have met before. You must be the new disciple who peeped at my sword practice that day. I never thought you could become my junior disciple."
Hall Master Zhang and Liu Wei were startled when they heard what the girl said, and asked why.
The girl laughed and narrated the story of her meeting with Qin Fengming.
After listening to his daughter's words, Hall Master Zhang suddenly understood, smiled slightly and said: "Feng Ming, was it when you saw your senior sister practicing swordsmanship that you thought of learning swordsmanship?"
Qin Fengming's face turned red and he didn't hide it: "Master, that day I saw my senior sister practicing swordsmanship. She looked really good. I was so happy that I went back to tell you that I wanted to learn swordsmanship."
With a nod, Hall Master Zhang looked at Qin Fengming, waved the long sword in his hand, and handed it to Qin Fengming's hand.
"Feng Ming, use this sword and practice the first move again."
After hearing what his master said, Qin Fengming did not dare to disobey. He held the sword skills in his hands and used the sword skills again one move at a time. At the beginning, because the sword was too long and he had never used a sword before, the moves seemed very awkward.
, but later on, the movements gradually became more elegant.
After Qin Fengming finished practicing the first move, his face was rosy and he was panting. He looked at his master and waited for his instructions.
When Hall Master Zhang was about to speak, the young woman standing next to him suddenly moved forward, came a few feet in front of Qin Fengming and said, "Your master has practiced it once, and I will practice it for you again to see the difference."
Before Hall Master Zhang could say anything, the young woman had already taken out a sharp sword from her waist. After sealing the sword, a beautiful figure loomed on the spot.
I saw that the master's wife's body was extremely light, and her sword skills spread out, like a fairy flying among the flowers. Although she practiced slowly, the feeling of willows floating in the wind was indeed perfectly displayed.
It wasn't until this moment that Qin Fengming truly understood why this set of swordsmanship was named the Thirteen Styles of Piaoliu.
Until long after the master's wife finished practicing the first move, Qin Fengming was still immersed in the light and elegant artistic conception just now and couldn't extricate himself.
Qin Fengming came to his senses only after the girl tapped him on the shoulder.
"Your master's wife has been practicing this set of swordsmanship for more than 20 years, and the essence of it has been known for a long time. That is beyond comparison for a halfway monk like me. It will be of great help to you to practice your future practice if you have a good understanding of the artistic conception of your master's swordsmanship."
.”
After hearing what the master said, Qin Fengming immediately replied respectfully: "Master's artistic conception is very profound. Even if you can train to the level of a master, you don't know when you will become a master?"
"Practicing martial arts cannot be achieved overnight. It requires decades of perseverance. Don't be arrogant and relax. The only way to persevere is to keep this in mind."
Seeing the sullen look on the master's face, Qin Fengming was immediately shocked and quickly bowed and said: "After receiving the instruction, the disciple will definitely study hard and practice hard to live up to the master's expectations."
Seeing that Qin Fengming's understanding was so high, Hall Master Zhang pondered for a moment and spoke again:
"Although this sword is not a peerless sword, it is still extremely sharp. It was given by an old friend of my master. It is always with me. I will give it to you today. I hope you will treat this sword well in the future."
