Chapter 019 The Art of Drawing a Sword
The article "Sword Drawing Technique" first raised a question: How to pull out the knife? If Meng Xiang had not read the text behind it, he would definitely think that this is a very stupid question, and he has practiced the sword technique, so why would he not know how to draw the knife? But according to the standards mentioned in "Sword Drawing Technique", in fact, most people who practice swords really can't draw the knife.
The sword can naturally be used to exert its maximum power by pulling it out, but how to draw the sword is very knowledgeable. The sword is a killing weapon. It is not like a sword. It often exists as a decoration. It is to show its identity and status and does not need to be used for fighting. However, the sword is different. It is used for fighting and fighting.
During the battle, the enemy, environment and rhythm are often not something that the parties involved can grasp, and they need to overcome them themselves. At this time, the most practical question arises, how to pull out the knife and let it exert its maximum power? You must know that this is not the time when practicing the knife, you can pull out the knife calmly and in the most comfortable way.
In actual combat, not only do we have to overcome the enemy's obstruction, but we also need to pull out the knife in various emergencies. At this time, we not only require the knife to pull out the knife in a normal way, but also need to pull out the knife in various seemingly impossible situations. The speed needs to be fast. If you get a little slower, your life may be gone. This shows the importance of drawing a knife to a swordsman, which is at stake.
"Sword Drawing Technique" describes various bad situations and the way of drawing swords in this situation. There is almost no abnormal situation that can be imagined. There are even many situations that a person cannot encounter once in his life. However, what attracts Meng Xiang's attention the most are various incredible ways of drawing swords.
Many of the ways to draw swords are not to say that he has never seen them, even if he wants to break his head, he can't figure it out. But after all, he has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years. Although those ways to draw swords seem a bit incredible, he can be sure that they are all feasible and can even save lives in many cases.
After reading these sword drawing methods, Meng Xiang began to look forward to what surprises the following content could give him. "Sword Drawing Technique", or, more accurately, the person who wrote "Sword Drawing Technique" did not disappoint him.
After introducing various abnormal situations and treatment methods that may be encountered in actual combat, the author turned his pen and began to introduce how to improve the speed of drawing the knife. After all, no matter how many ways to draw the knife, it would be useless if the speed is too slow.
Meng Xiang's heartbeat began to accelerate. He often struggled on the line of life and death in his previous life, so he naturally understood the importance of speed. However, after reading the method of improving the speed of sword drawing written by the author of "Sword Drawing", he felt a little disappointed.
The author of "Sword Drawing Technique" mentioned that there is only one way to increase the speed of drawing the sword, which is to repeat it again and again. If it doesn't work once, it's a hundred times, it's a thousand times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times, it's a hundred times... In the author's opinion, there is no upper limit on the speed of drawing the sword, it's just the goals set by the swordsman himself.
The author asks practitioners to use countless repetitions to turn the movement of drawing the knife into instinct. When encountering abnormal conditions, the body can pull out the knife before consciousness, which is considered a small success.
Of course, the author also said that everything is skilled. In the following text, he introduced many exercise techniques, including muscles, bones, consciousness, etc. Although each item is not complicated, if you want to achieve something, you must repeat it thousands of times. Without steely will and extremely strong patience, you will definitely not succeed.
After reading this part, Meng Xiang subconsciously took a deep breath. He felt that the real highlight of "The Sword Drawing Technique" was about to come, because the things recorded in the previous ones were so magical. How could it be that those who stayed at the ending were not bad?
Facts have proved that Meng Xiang's guess is very accurate. In the eyes of the author of "Sword Drawing", everyone made a mistake in the so-called sword techniques that created various sword techniques. Even though some people realized the importance of sword drawing and developed special training methods, they basically did not link sword drawing and sword techniques, and regarded it as one.
In the author's opinion, the sword drawing technique can be combined with sword techniques. As long as the method is right and hard practice is hard, the power exerted is quite amazing. In actual combat, even if the opponent's strength is higher than that of yourself, you can still cut it by one knife and kill it with one blow.
This novel statement aroused Meng Xiang's curiosity, and he began to speed up and look down. As he looked, he couldn't help but nodded frequently. He was not a layman and knew both swords and sword techniques. If he practiced according to the author's method, as long as he was willing to work hard and sweat, he could indeed exert great power.
After reading it, Meng Xiang rubbed his eyes. Although "Sword Drawing Technique" is well written and useful, the font is too small and hurts his eyes. However, when his eyes fell to the blank space behind, his eyes lit up again.
The previous "Sword Drawing Technique" is so magical, so what will happen later? As for whether there will be any content in those blank parts, he has no doubt at all.
At this time, Meng Xiang felt like he suddenly broke into his heart with twenty-five mice. He was so worried that he knew there was something good, but he couldn't get it.
He began to think hard, thinking about how to make the contents behind appear, but for a moment he had no idea. Suddenly, when his eyes accidentally swept over "Sword Drawing Technique", his eyes lit up: The words are red, can it be...
Meng Xiang reached out and took a short skinning knife from the table and slashed hard on his palm. Although practicing copper-skin-skin-bone skills and leak-free true body can greatly increase the toughness and strength of his skin, he still lacked the heat after all. After pulling, a wound immediately appeared, and bright red blood immediately flowed out.
He carefully applied the blood evenly on the white cloth of unknown material. It was true that his speculation was correct. After applying the blood, it immediately oozed in and quickly returned to its original whiteness, but there were lines of small red characters left behind, which were smaller than the font written by "Sword Drawing".
Meng Xiang took a deep breath, calmed his mind slightly, opened his eyes wide, and looked carefully: "The Sword of the Sky-Slaying Sword. Although the knife has the same formulas as chop, chop, stab, thrust, wipe, block, and intercept, it can all be transformed into one word - 'Slay'. The enemy does not need to defend, the enemy cannot defend, but the enemy cannot defend, only killing the enemy is the key. The sword style is more important than essence, but I will add the sword technique to one style - slash. One cuts the tangible and qualitative things, two cuts the tangible and qualitative things, three cuts the invisible and qualitative things, four cuts the invisible and qualitative things; five cuts... five cuts... five cuts..."
I don’t know if it was because of excessive eyes or for some other reason, Meng Xiang’s gaze became blurred, and the words on the white cloth gradually became impossible to see clearly. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked at the white cloth again, but the situation he saw was shocked.
The place where the "Slaying the Sky Sword" is written on the white cloth has turned white again, and it seems that the small red characters have never appeared before.
He did not give up and once again lifted the short knife to open the wound that was no longer bleeding, and applied the blood that flowed out onto the white cloth again. The blood was like water poured on the sand, and it seeped in in the middle of the brush, but there was no trace on the white cloth, let alone the handwriting appeared.
Seeing that the applied blood could completely soak the entire piece of cloth, there was no more word on the white cloth except "Sword Drawing Technique", Meng Xiang decided to give up. Although he didn't know why "Sword Claw" would no longer appear, he also knew that using the method of applying blood would be useless.
Meng Xiang folded the white cloth, put it close to his body, slashed the long sword and hung it back on the wall, turned his head outside the door, and shouted loudly: "Stone, are the food ready? I'm almost starving to death."
Before he finished speaking, a stern voice rang out of the door: "Okay, okay. Brother Meng, don't worry, I'll get it for you now."
"Slippery!" Meng Xiang shook his head. Although his attention was basically focused on the white cloth wrapped around the hilt, he was not ignorant of the surrounding situation. This was a habit he developed in his previous life. At any time, he would spend a little energy to pay attention to the surrounding situation. It was a lesson he remembered with his blood.
Once, he left Tiemu City and went outside to catch an Iron Maned Wolf's cub. Everything went smoothly. First, he successfully deceived the cub's parents, and then there was no problem with the cub's cub's cub's process. He even returned to the gate of Tiemu City before the cub's parents reacted.
Just when he fantasized about how to spend it after receiving a relatively generous reward from the person who issued the mission, he was attacked, and he was a group of gangsters who survived by stealing. If there was a head-on confrontation, he could knock them all down with one hand, but he fell into his hands.
If he hadn't had rich survival experience and avoided the key points at critical moments, his life would have been lost. So, from then on, he would never devote all his energy to one thing again.
Yan Shi didn't know that he knew all his actions, but he was able to take the initiative to avoid taboos, which made Meng Xiang very happy. Even though he is his best friend now, if he cannot abide by some rules, he might have to consider whether he should take him away.
After all, once they go out, the environment they are in will be thousands of times more complicated than they are now, and they will encounter more temptations. Once they can't control it, the problem will be big.
The two of them were having a full fish banquet. Although it was already winter and the temperature was already very low, the two of them were covered in sweat, shirtless, and white air on their bodies was vague and unable to see each other's faces.
Meng Xiang felt that it was unusual when he saw the strange fish that shining on his body. Now the feeling after eating it really confirmed his guess. At first, he and Yan Shi only thought the fish was particularly delicious, with smooth and tender meat. It melted without chewing it in his mouth, and then slid into the stomach along the esophagus. The fish soup was as white as snow, rich and sweet as it was, and the lips and teeth were fragrant.
Before the two of them could eat a small bowl, the effect of fish soup was revealed. A small stove seemed to be lit in their stomachs, which was hot, and then a stream of heat flowed through their stomachs and wandered around. Every time they went there, they became hot and swollen, just like taking a hot spring, which was extremely comfortable.
They are all familiar with the feeling of heat flowing everywhere. They will feel this way when they soak their bodies with hair pulling and marrow washing soup, but the feeling is from heaven and earth. If it is so comfortable when soaking hair pulling and marrow washing soup, it will not change color every time it is tight, just like going to the execution ground.
The more they ate, the hotter they ate, the more they ate, the more heat flows out of their stomachs, and finally the heat flows all over their body gathered together, causing the whole person to fall into the wrapper of the heat flow, but it was not uncomfortable, but it was like washing a hot spring in winter, which was so comfortable.
