Chapter 3 Purple Song Swordsmanship
Chapter 3 Zige Sword Technique ()
At the beginning, Tang Xiaofeng thought that the method of practicing swordsmanship was based on the records in the martial arts books I read in my previous life, and practiced true qi, but this was not the case.
In addition to the mantras on the wall, there are many pages in the cabinet that record explanations or sword practice experiences. It turns out that the fundamental reason for practicing swordsmanship lies in the "spirit" and "soul" in a person's body.
According to these experiences, everyone's own soul has enough energy, and the key is how to guide these energy. Although this energy is also called "qi" in the mantra, it is not the same as the qi that is usually mentioned in martial arts or fairy tale novels.
After finding the sword manual by himself, every morning, Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixiao would sit on the cliff in the mountains, guiding out the self-sufficient "qi" in their souls. At first, the energy guided was not only weak, but also invisible and colorless, and could not be used to refine swords at all.
According to Yan's Zige Sword Skill, sword energy is divided into four realms, namely Shenhua, Zihua, Honghua, and Huanghua. In other words, at least the guided qi must be refined to the realm of "Huanghua" in order to guide the flying sword. If you want to fly with the sword, you must reach the realm of Honghua.
It is not easy to practice sword energy. Fortunately, the two children have perseverance and encourage each other. Unconsciously, they persevered in practicing for half a year. In this half a year, the Tang family also found Ping'an Village in order to find the lost youngest son. However, when Tang Xiaofeng first met Yan Zixiao, he lied to her that she was a fugitive. In order to "conceal his identity" for him, Yan Zixiao claimed to others in the village that Tang Xiaofeng was her distant relative, and changed her name to another pseudonym, so she was not found by the Tang family.
Finally, one day, the two of them practiced yellow sword energy at the same time. Yan Zixiao led his hand, and the red sword immediately deshewned out and circled it a few times above his head, causing the leaves to fly.
Tang Xiaofeng also jumped up, his eyes flashing with his brilliance, and his behavior was full of energy. He waved his hand with great vigor, and a kitchen knife flew out, slashing on the stone without moving.
He squatted on the ground and drew circles.
Yan Zixiao said with a giggle: "Xiaofeng, don't worry, we will definitely have the opportunity to help you find the flying sword in the future."
Tang Xiaofeng squatted there, supporting his head with one hand, feeling depressed.
Swordsmanship, "skill" alone is not enough, but "sword" is also necessary. Moreover, this sword cannot be an ordinary sword. It must be made of Xuanhan iron and some special materials. Only such a sword can be used to control the sword.
Since refining Qi, Yan Zixiao has held her red sword every day, not even letting go of sleep, and worshiped every day according to the sword guide. Her spiritual sense has been integrated into the sword, so once she refined Huang Hua's sword energy, she can guide the flying sword. However, there is only one flying sword, and the Yan family is poor and can't afford an ordinary sword. Tang Xiaofeng can only bring a kitchen knife, wanting to try whether he can use the sword energy to drive the kitchen knife.
Now the facts have proved that the kitchen knife really cannot fly.
Seeing Tang Xiaofeng's depressed look, Yan Zixiao pursed her lips and smiled, turned her fingers, and the flying swords were slashing everywhere, and trees fell down. Tang Xiaofeng widened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
The girl said, "Although there is no flying sword yet, you can't use a kitchen knife as a sword. Let's split some wood and sell it to the city to see if you can buy a sword."
Tang Xiaofeng thought to himself that it was okay, so he jumped to the stone and pulled up the kitchen knife, covered the sword energy on the knife, raised the knife and fell down the wood. He thought to himself that even if there was no flying sword, the sword energy would not be practiced in vain. If he didn't become a swordsman and a carpenter in the future, he could at least support himself.
There are many stalls on both sides of the city gate, and people are coming and going.
Although Wu Zetian changed Tang and established Zhou, killed many officials and fought several wars, the Zhou Dynasty was generally politically clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
At this time, everyone was watching the two children walking from afar. These two children, one boy and one girl, are about eleven or twelve years old. The girl is probably older, but she will not get too much older.
On their backs, each carrying a bundle of wood, each bundle was eight feet long, as high as a hill, tied with thick ropes to the shoulders of the two children, and they could even turn their heads and talk and laugh.
Everyone was secretly talking and wondering how these two children had such great strength. Even adults could not carry such a large bundle of firewood. They were afraid they would have to use a ox cart to pull it.
The two children found an open space, put down the firewood and started to hawk. However, the firewood was too long and too thick, so they had to be chopped again when they were burned. Most people just took a look.
The sun gradually moved westward, and Yan Zixiao began to feel a little unable to sit still. She threw her bundle to Tang Xiaofeng, saying that it was rare to enter the city and wanted to buy something. She rushed into the city gate and ran away without a trace. Tang Xiaofeng looked at the two large bundles of firewood and complained in his heart, thinking that no one would buy it again, would I have to carry them back?
Fortunately, not long after, an old man came over to ask about the price. Tang Xiaofeng didn't know how much to sell, so he casually told the price. Seeing that although the firewood was chopped irregularly, each side was smooth and smooth, just like a plane, he thought that the wood was slightly trimmed, which was a good material for furniture. But this guy only sold it as ordinary firewood. Luck and luck, so he wanted to buy both bundles.
Tang Xiaofeng knew what the old man was thinking at first sight, but forget it, it was important to sell these two bundles of firewood, and he didn't want to keep it anymore. However, the old man said: "Although I bought it, I had to hire someone to pull it, which was quite troublesome."
Tang Xiaofeng just wanted to sell them quickly. He grabbed a bundle with both hands and carried both bundles on his shoulders. At first glance, his thin figure was almost buried by firewood: "Where do you live, I'll send it for you."
"Good strength, good strength," said the old man, "just live half the east part of the city and you will arrive in a while."
Tang Xiaofeng followed the old man for a while. Although it attracted everyone's attention, he didn't care and was even a little arrogant. At this moment, three girls came forward, and one of them suddenly shouted: "Xiaofeng?"
Tang Xiaofeng raised his head between the two large bundles of wood, and saw the girl staring at him with a look of surprise. He quickly threw the two bundles of wood purple at the old man: "I'll give it to you."
The old man was pressed under the firewood and shouted, and Tang Xiaofeng turned around and ran away.
This old man who is greedy for small gains deserves it.
The girl wanted to chase him, but how could she catch up with him? She was so angry that she stamped her feet.
"Wanru," asked a girl next to her, "Who is he? How could he have such great strength?"
The girl named Wanru said hatefully: "He is what I told you, the cousin who ran away from home. For more than half a year, my aunt has cried like tears all day long because she couldn't find him. Unexpectedly, he ran to the county town."
This girl is Lin Wanru, the daughter of Lin Zhiyang. The two next to her are her friends Qin Xiaochun and Tian Fengfei. Qin Xiaochun shouted: "At a young age, he knew he ran away from home and was not sensible at all. He ran to the city and we went to chase him."
Qin Xiaochun and Tian Fengfei are both daughters of fishermen's family. They run fast, but Lin Wanru is spoiled and has a lot of tangles. She is so panting after running with them for a few times. In desperation, Qin and Tian girls had to stop and wait for her.
Tang Xiaofeng ran while secretly complaining that he was unlucky. Baixiangheng, where his family lives, and Ping'an Village where the Yan family is originally located, were originally in the same county, but the information was not well developed in this era, and there was no Internet to send his photos everywhere. He originally thought that it was rare to enter the city, and it was not so easy to hit an acquaintance, but his cousin hit him in the face.
Lin Wanru is also one of the hundreds of flowers who were exiled to the world by heaven. As for the book, what kind of flower she was reincarnated, Tang Xiaofeng has long been unable to remember. Although there are a hundred women in "Mirror Flowers", he didn't really remember much when he was reading the book.
Yan Zixiao is the reincarnation of the Lingxiao Flower God. He knows this, but it is only because he has a great impression of this female swordsman who can fly around while reading, so he paid more attention and how can others remember it?
Tang Xiaofeng looked around and finally found Yan Zixiao before the government announcement.
Yan Zixiao stood there, looking at the notice on the board, and didn't know what she was thinking. Tang Xiaofeng ran to her side. Before she could ask questions, she had turned around and saw Tang Xiaofeng standing there, catching his arm excitedly: "Xiaofeng Xiaofeng..."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Did you suddenly show off?
"Let's go and fight the tiger!"
Fighting a tiger?
Tang Xiaofeng looked at the notice carefully and realized that a large insect appeared in Pengling, north of the county town, which often hurt the passing merchants. Pengling is the main road connecting Lingnan and the Central Plains. Although the government sent people to encircle and suppress the big insect many times, the big insect was really powerful. Not only could it fail to encircle and suppress it, but it injured many people. In desperation, the government could only issue a notice and offer a reward of 100 tael silver, hoping that some tiger-killers among the people could remove the big insect.
The so-called big insect is actually a tiger.
"One hundred taels of silver in the silver," Yan Zixiao said excitedly, "When will you be able to make so much money by selling firewood? With so much money, we can buy you a good sword."
When Tang Xiaofeng saw Yan Zixiao rubbing her fists, she knew that she wanted to try her skills rather than trying her hand at the hundred-two silver patterns.
Tang Xiaofeng thought about it and was also a little moved. He saw Lin Wanru and the two girls searching for each other in the distance, so he pulled Yan Zixiao and walked around the other side.
Yan Zixiao shouted, "Where are we going?"
Tang Xiaofeng said: "Even if we want to fight tigers, it's so late now, at least we have to wait until tomorrow. Otherwise, if we sell firewood and don't go home for one night, your grandma is going to be anxious? Besides, even if we go up the mountain, we may not be able to find the big insects in an instant. It is normal to stay on the mountain for two or three days. Shouldn't you prepare some dry food and say it to grandma?"
Yan Zixiao felt that this was the reason and asked again: "These two bundles of firewood were sold?"
"I'm giving it to someone." Tang Xiaofeng pulled Yan Zixiao around a building, avoided Lin Wanru, and left the city gate.
