Liu Mang still doesn’t know that his former enemy Yang Wei is still dreaming about how to make a comeback.
At this moment, he was holding a Huanshou knife and carrying rice wine, and stepped into the courtyard of Yin's hometown as usual.
As expected, Mr. Zhong, a hunchbacked man with half-white hair, was still bending over to take care of the flowers and plants in the flower beds on both sides of the yard, with his back turned to him, indifferent to his arrival.
On a futon in the center of the courtyard, a sturdy old man with long gray-white hair was sitting on it.
His eyes were closed tightly, his face was reddish, and white steam was constantly leaking out from the top of his head. His whole person seemed to be shrouded in haze, and he was Mr. Yin who was practicing Kung Fu.
Liu Mang saw the attendant standing aside and did not rush forward to disturb him.
However, there was still a hint of envy in his eyes.
This is internal strength, it looks really extraordinary. Although the sword technique is clever, internal strength is the foundation.
If you want to quickly enter the realm of swordsmanship, you can go to Mr. Yin's sect to find him. I think you should be able to get what you want by then.
After a while, Mr. Yin finished practicing, slowly opened his eyes, saw the silver ring-shou knife in Liu Mang's hand, nodded and said: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapon. A knife made of fine steel is better than
Your original ax is much better and can increase your strength a lot."
Liu Mang took out the ax in his arms, and was surprised to find that there were several small gaps on the ax blade. This was despite the few collisions with the Huanshou knife.
"Did you go back to practice swordsmanship last night?" Mr. Yin asked casually.
"You are stupid and don't dare to be lazy. You won't stop until you are a child."
"Do you have any insights?"
"A little gain." Liu Mang thought for a while and said.
"Oh?" A smile appeared on Mr. Yin's lips, "You can show it in the courtyard."
Liu Mang held the silver ring-headed knife in his right hand. He walked to the center of the courtyard as instructed, and first took a common starting position: his right leg was slightly bent, his left leg was stretched forward diagonally, and the knife was held at a 45-degree angle across his chest in both hands.
.
Then he slashed forward suddenly!
call!
Liu Mang's slash was as powerful as a running dragon. All his strength was poured from his legs along his back to his right arm. The ring-shou knife instantly cut through the air, slashing down from top to bottom, and a clear sound of breaking through the air was heard.
When Mr. Yin saw him, his eyes lit up.
But I saw that Liu Mang's power had reached its limit with this blow, that is, when the old strength was about to be exhausted and the new strength was not yet regenerated.
The toes of his left foot quickly rotated on the ground, and his right foot drew circles at the same time. His waist rolled like a carp. The knife in his hand instantly changed direction, from the front to the back, and stabbed the empty air fiercely!
The movements are extremely smooth and there is no sense of sluggishness, as if this move has been practiced thousands of times!
"Not bad!" Mr. Yin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.
Liu Mang seemed unaware of Mr. Yin's praise, and the sword in his hand continued its performance. He could chop, chop, pick, stab, disturb, or block. He made any move at will, as he pleased. Just watching it made people feel relaxed and happy.
"How could there be such a genius in this world?" The hunched-backed Mr. Zhong appeared beside Mr. Yin silently, staring at Liu Mang with burning eyes.
"In just one night, Liu Xiaozi's swordsmanship went from beginner to proficient, completing a goal that would take an average person three to five years. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it." Mr. Zhong, who has always been taciturn,
He actually said so many words at once, which shows how shocked Liu Mang was to him.
Mr. Yin glanced at Mr. Zhong warily and said, "Sooner or later, Mr. Liu will join me. You old boy, don't make any plans for him."
"Hmph, your Four Saints sect's rules are notoriously rigid and strict. He didn't come into the sect to train him since he was a child. It might not be easy for you to accept him into the sect."
"I have my own way, so you don't have to worry about this." Mr. Yin said calmly.
"It's a pity that his bones and meridians are almost formed, and his potential is almost exhausted. Even if he is very talented in martial arts skills, he has a weak foundation and it is difficult to reach the top." Mr. Zhong shook his head regretfully, put his hands behind his back, and left slowly.
Mr. Yin on the side also fell silent after hearing this.
In the courtyard.
Liu Mang smoothly performed the six movements of the Tianying Sword Technique several times. He had no intention of hiding his own strength, but showed it to the two of them heartily.
The other party may leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The more you show your talent now, the more benefits you may get.
Sure enough, after he finished using his sword skills, Mr. Yin was full of praise for his talent and taught him a martial art called Ghost Tracking Steps.
According to Mr. Yin, although this sword technique is not top-notch, its footwork is mysterious and unpredictable, and it goes very well with the Tianying sword technique. The combination of the two will have even greater power.
Since the Tianying Sword Technique itself contains some simple footwork, Liu Mang only practiced it for a few hours before this technique successfully appeared on the panel.
Looking at the column of energy values showing zero, Liu Mang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The promotion of Tianying Sword Technique requires energy values, and the promotion of Gui Zongbu also requires energy values. Other martial arts that may appear in the future, even basic internal and external skills, will definitely require energy values to be promoted.
How to earn energy points is an urgent question.
Judging from the current information, energy value can be obtained by killing animals, whether it is killing chickens or dogs. Even once, he gave a dying bird with injured wings a good time and obtained 0.1 energy value.
The larger the size, the higher the energy value. Currently, the highest value is obtained by a tall wild dog with 0.4 points. The thin wild wolf last time has 0.3 points.
Wolves cannot be encountered every day, but chickens, ducks and fish are common creatures. Liu Mang thought that there were two butchers in the village, Zhao Mazi, who killed pigs for a living, and Qi Dazui, who specialized in selling and killing chickens.
Qi Dazui seems to be Liu Shu's uncle?
Liu Mang's eyes lit up. With his relationship with Liu Shu, he could definitely take Qi Dazui's path.
Thinking of this, he felt confident and felt a little happier.
After practicing the footwork in the courtyard for a long time without any improvement in proficiency, Liu Mang returned to Mr. Yin and listened to him continue to popularize some common sense about martial arts.
Mr. Yin poured the rice wine into two black and red porcelain bowls, pushed one in front of Liu Mang, picked up the other and drank it in one gulp.
Liu Mang was not polite and drank Yin Laosheng's wine in one gulp. In his last life, he had the capacity to drink two kilograms of liquor. This kind of rice wine has a low alcohol content and is just water for him.
Mr. Yin was very satisfied with Liu Mang's attitude towards drinking. He continued to pour the wine and slowly asked a question:
"Why do we learn martial arts?"
Liu Mang was stunned. He had never thought about this issue before. But since Mr. Yin mentioned it, he naturally had to think about it carefully.
Why did he learn martial arts?
He thought about the people from the Knife Club coming to collect fees late at night, about the repeated invitations from Mr. Guo on the dock, and about the current situation of rising rice prices...
He just wants to live well, and learning martial arts can make it easier for him to achieve this goal.
"Learning martial arts is to protect yourself, protect yourself, protect your loved ones, not be bullied by others, and stay away from worldly disputes." Liu Mang replied.
Mr. Yin smiled and said: "What you said makes some sense. But do you think that if you learn martial arts, there will be fewer disputes and it will be safer?"
"If you learn martial arts, I'm afraid there will be more trouble coming!" Mr. Yin said seriously.
Liu Mang was startled when he heard this, but he felt it made sense.
"Then what is the purpose of learning martial arts? Please let Mr. Yin clarify."
