Chapter 529: I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit
The next morning, Li Mu rushed to the back mountain. Yue Buqun had already arrived and was practicing a set of sword skills.
This sword technique is quite peculiar. It is different from other sword techniques. The sword is like an arc. Li Mu instantly recognized it as the iron wire sword style, and the sword is like an iron wire.
Despite its ordinary name, this set of swordsmanship ranks among the Five Swords of Huashan and has a great reputation in the world. It is truly a superior swordsmanship.
It seems that Yue Buqun plans to teach him this sword technique today.
After Yue Buqun finished performing a set of sword skills, he nodded and said: "Here we come!"
"You have already gained a foundation in basic swordsmanship and your internal strength has improved. Today I will officially teach you one of the superior swordsmanship of our Huashan Sect, the Iron Wire Sword Style."
After speaking, Li Mu was asked to pick up the pine sword and officially start teaching.
Time flies like water, the end of the year is here in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year is approaching. With the help of study cards, I have finished learning the Iron Wire Sword Style and have gained some momentum.
That morning, just after Li Mu had finished his breakfast, Bai Er came rushing over.
"Young escort, the new year's goods prepared by the chief escort have been delivered to you. There are also some for Mr. Yue and his wife and all your senior brothers. They are down the mountain now. You can see when the time is right to deliver them."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Chinese New Year would be coming so soon. Lin Zhennan had also prepared new year's goods. He probably set off from Fujian to Huashan about two months ago.
Think about the time I spent in Huashan Mountain for more than half a year. I practiced hard all day long and never even descended the mountain once.
"No hurry, let's go down the mountain and have a look. Has the escort agency's branch at the foot of Huashan Mountain been built?"
Bai Er bowed and replied: "It's built. It was just built last month. This time, the chief escort sent Chief Shi and Chief Zheng to deliver New Year's gifts. The two chiefs will not leave from now on, and will be here to stay in Huashan."
Besides taking care of the escort agency’s business here, I also run errands for the young escort chief.”
Li Mu nodded and said, "I haven't seen Mr. Shi and Mr. Zheng for a long time. I just happened to meet them and recognize our territory."
With that said, the two of them went all the way down Mount Huashan.
The escort agency was located in a nearby town. Bai Er led the way and soon arrived in front of the escort agency.
However, a bunch of people were gathered here at this time, and they didn't know what was going on.
Li Mu was not yet thirteen years old. He was not tall and could not see what was going on inside. He said to Bai Er, "Go over and ask what happened."
Hearing this, Bai Er hurriedly got into the crowd, and came out again after a while, with a flushed face and said: "The young escort chief is a local escort agency in Huayin County. Seeing that we are from out of town, he invited experts from the Iron Sword Sect.
Come here to pick a fight, Captain Shi and Captain Zheng are no match for each other."
"Young escort, why don't we go back to Huashan?"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, take me in and take a look."
Bai Er struggled for a moment before opening a path in front, and Li Mu finally squeezed in.
The first thing that caught his eye was a young man in his twenties, carrying a sword and standing there with his head held high, looking lonely as a master. This was probably the so-called master of the Iron Sword Sect.
On the other side, Captains Zheng and Shi were half lying on the ground, with several soldiers bravely guarding them in front.
Seeing Bai Er and Li Mu walking in, Dart Shi and Dart Zheng covered their chests and slowly got up: "Young Dart."
"Hello, young escort!"
"Young escort chief, you are here."
"Young escort, please go back to Huashan first. We will handle the matters here."
…
Li Mu nodded to them, said nothing, and turned to look at the master of the Iron Sword Sect. The master of the Iron Sword Sect happened to look over at this time, and said with a mocking look on his face: "Are you their young escort leader?"
Li Mu didn't answer, but slowly drew out his sword and asked, "You were the one who hit me."
When the master of the Iron Sword Sect saw Li Mu draw out his long sword, he laughed so hard: "How old are you, a little brat? Do you want to fight me? Have you weaned yourself?"
Li Mu has gradually mastered the iron wire sword style, and his hands are a little itchy. He is looking for someone to try the sword, and his sword trembles when he hears this.
"Stop talking nonsense, don't you dare?"
The Iron Sword Sect master felt that he had been underestimated by a child, as if he had been insulted, and with anger on his face, he drew his long sword and said: "I will be afraid of you."
Li Mu sneered: "That's good."
After speaking, I took a deep breath, repeated my thoughts calmly, and calmed my mind. Gradually, the spiritual platform became clear and clear. I was neither sad nor happy. The "Iron Wire Sword Style" flowed through my heart one by one.
His wrist shook, and he stabbed out with a sword. The long sword made a clear buzzing sound.
The master of the Iron Sword Sect was startled and hurriedly waved his sword to resist. Li Mu's purpose was to test the sword and test the actual combat effect of the Iron Sword Style. He did not intend to resolve the battle with one or two swords.
When the sword was used, he didn't force himself to hurt the enemy. With a drag of his wrist, the sword spun back along a half-arc.
Next, there was still a straight thrust, and the Iron Sword Sect master blocked it awkwardly again. The long sword in Li Mu's hand drew a long arc in the air, and then spun back.
Next, Li Mu struck out with one sword after another, moving faster and faster. Suddenly, there was a constant buzzing sound in the air, and the long sword left arc-shaped traces in the air.
The master of the Iron Sword Sect thrust his arms to the left and right, and suddenly felt a chill on his body. At this time, Li Mu also put away his sword and stood there.
Just as the master of the Iron Sword Sect was about to say something to support the scene, a breeze blew by, and his clothes suddenly turned into strands of cloth and fell down with the wind.
Only then did he realize that his body was covered with arc-shaped lines of blood at some point. Although the wounds were not deep, they were just superficial injuries, which was terrifying enough.
With so many blood lines on his body, it is not difficult to wipe his neck.
Thinking of this, I felt lucky, but how could I care about my face, let alone say harsh words? I didn't even want the sword, I held my head, rushed into the crowd, trotted all the way, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The people around were shocked. They didn't expect that such a powerful person just now was defeated by a young man.
Bouncer Shi, Bouncer Zheng, Bai Er, and the rest of the gangsters all looked at Li Mu with shock and surprise.
In the past, they didn't quite understand that it was inappropriate for a good young master to have good clothes and food, so he had to go to Mount Huashan to learn martial arts and endure hardships. But now they understand.
I was even more excited. With the young escort's martial arts being so good, not only would the Fuwei Escort Agency have a successor, but also the young escort chief would be in charge. The reputation of the Fuwei Escort Agency in the world would also rise, and they would also be honored.
After seeing the gift, surrounded by everyone, Li Mu walked into the Escort Bureau. He saw the New Year's goods sent by Lin Zhennan from thousands of miles away. First of all, there were two boxes of new clothes, including brocade and robes, and practice clothes... all year round.
Arrangements have been made.
Then there are various specialties from Fujian, as well as some novel gadgets from overseas, and a snow-white pony, which is said to be a pure Dawan horse. There are also two Qingfeng swords made by skilled craftsmen. Li Mu drew one
There was a clang, and the cold light was sharp. It was much better than the standard long sword used by Huashan disciples.
Moreover, because he is still under adulthood and his hand shape is different from that of an adult, the hilt of the sword is specially made, just right for him to use now.
In addition, there are five ginsengs that are hundreds of years old and a box of precious medicinal materials.
In addition to these miscellaneous things, thousands of taels of silver were reserved in the Escort Bureau's account for him to spend, and he could replenish it at any time if it was insufficient.
He also took a look at the annual gift that Lin Zhennan gave to Yue Buqun and his wife and all the senior brothers. It was prepared with great care and it was considered a big gift.
Li Mu also prepared a return gift for Lin Zhennan and his wife. It was nothing more than a letter, advising them to have another child while they were young and keep it by their side as a filial piety.
Lin Zhennan is thirty-five years old this year, and Mrs. Lin is thirty-two years old this year. They are in their prime, and it is appropriate to have another child.
I don’t know how the two of them will react when they see this letter, but Li Mu really hopes that they will have another child and fulfill their filial piety for Lin Pingzhi.
After staying at the foot of the mountain for two days, Li Mu walked around Huayin County and stopped by the escort agency that was causing trouble. This time the other party was very polite and surrendered as soon as they met. Not only because of his martial arts, but also because of his
The identity of Huashan disciples.
According to Lin Zhennan's development principle of Fuwei Escort Agency, if you can make friends, you won't make enemies. Li Mu didn't bother to pursue it, and just let Escort Officers Shi and Escort Zheng take care of it.
However, after this incident, Li Mu became quite famous in the neighborhood, and everyone knew that besides Linghu Chong, there was another young disciple with superb swordsmanship among the Huashan disciples.
Many people in the nearby arena lamented that it was indeed Huashan, which once directly pursued Shaolin and Wudang. It had a profound foundation, and it only took so long for it to decline before a new generation of disciples rose up.
In the future, the world of Shaanxi will still belong to Huashan.
Returning to Huashan again, this time he was not alone, but a group of people, followed by two carriages.
By the time escort chief Zheng, on behalf of Lin Zhennan, handed out the New Year gifts one by one, Huashan Mountain was already a festive and lively scene.
In particular, some disciples came from poor backgrounds and had never received such expensive gifts in their lives, and all of them were beaming with joy.
Li Mu continued to practice hard, but this time he had another task, reading, especially some Taoist classics.
Huashan originally originated from the Taoist lineage. When martial arts is simple, it is fine. When the martial arts is advanced, you have to dabble in some Taoist classics.
This time when he went down the mountain, he also bought a lot of related books in Huayin County, such as "The Sutra of the Outer Scenery of the Huangting", "The Sutra of the Inner Scenery of the Huangting", "The Sutra of the Yushu", "The Sutra of Inner Vision of the Supreme Lord", "The Sutra of Dongxuan Lingbaoding"
"Guan Jing Sutra", "Tai Shang Influence Chapter", "Fifteen Treatises on Chongyang Establishment", "Tai Shang Laojun Speaks of Chang Qingjing Sutra", etc.
However, the reading threshold for these books is a bit high, and he often reads them in confusion and has no idea what they are talking about.
Fortunately, there are also many collections of books on Mount Huashan, especially these Taoist classics, many of which have handwritten annotations by the seniors of Mount Huashan.
Li Mu planned to find some simple introductory books to start reading. Yue Buqun was also a well-educated person, so when he encountered something he didn't understand, there would be no one to ask for advice.
…
The year passed quickly, and Li Mu was one year older. Yue Buqun participated in a Five Mountains Conference. After coming back, he didn't smile for a few days, but he urged his disciples even more harshly.
Especially the two most talented disciples, Li Mu and Linghu Chong.
Fortunately, Li Mu is very talented in both internal skills and swordsmanship. He has no shortcomings. He can master anything as soon as he is taught it and understands it as soon as he learns it.
Whether it's Bao Yuan Gong, Huashan Basic Sword Technique, or Iron Wire Sword Style, they all come to the fore and progress quickly.
Even the Huashan Body Technique that was just taught recently, Li Mu learned extremely quickly.
What about Linghu Chong? He is a partial genius with excellent swordsmanship talent. He can learn any swordsmanship at once. In terms of internal strength, although his qualifications are not bad, compared with his swordsmanship talent, they pale in comparison.
Only then did Li Mu realize that the internal skill Linghu Chong practiced was also the Baoyuan Gong, which was at the third level. Three years ago, when Linghu Chong was just sixteen, Baoyuan Gong had broken through to the third level. Now three years later, Linghu Chong has already reached the third level.
Nineteen years old, still on the third level, with no sign of breakthrough, which made Yue Buqun furious.
In fact, going from the third level to the fourth level is a big hurdle and cannot be achieved overnight. Just like Lin Zhennan, he has been practicing Zhengyang Gong for seven or eight years and has still not broken through to the fourth level. This is actually normal.
But for Yue Buqun, Linghu Chong, as the great disciple of Huashan, represents the face of Huashan to a certain extent. The third level and the fourth level are also a dividing line of strength. An ordinary person in the world can train to the third level.
The layer is basically at the top.
Those who can practice their internal skills to the fourth level are basically direct disciples who have been carefully cultivated by the great sect.
Although Huashan is very lonely now, it used to be one of the most powerful sects in the world. As a top disciple, Linghu Chong has not even reached the fourth level of internal skills, and has not even widened the gap between him and ordinary people in the world. How can he make Yue Buqun feel sad?
Can be relaxed.
Even though Linghu Chong relied on his superb swordsmanship to use his skills, those people in the martial arts world who had reached the fourth level of internal martial arts were no match for him. Yue Buqun was still very angry.
The Huashan School is based on Qi, and emphasizes using Qi to control the sword. Qi comes first with the sword. When Linghu Chong got good, his sword skills were more powerful than his internal strength. To a certain extent, he, the great disciple who represented the face of Huashan, had deviated from the Huashan School's Qi.
The purpose of putting things first.
As a result, Yue Buqun became more and more strict with Linghu Chong, urging him to practice his internal skills every day. After being caught secretly going down the mountain to buy wine two days ago, he was directly punished by going to the cliff for a month.
When the disciples of Huashan saw how strict Yue Buqun was, they became nervous and started practicing more seriously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this way, the most relaxed person is Li Mu. Yue Buqun knows that he is very self-disciplined and arranges his own practice time on weekdays.
After putting reading into his schedule, he would spend a lot of time reading Taoist classics every day after practicing martial arts, and he would often consult Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun is also a person who loves reading. He has read basically all the books in Huashan, and he understands the importance of Taoist classics in the deeper aspects of martial arts training.
He had urged Linghu Chong to study hard before, but unfortunately Linghu Chong was undecided. He was a man who could sit still. Yue Buqun had no choice but to force it in the end.
Li Mu had this idea, so he was naturally happy and personally recommended some introductory books on Taoism. If Li Mu didn't understand anything, he would go out of his way to explain it one by one.
In this way, Li Mu absorbed all kinds of knowledge like a sponge, and he did not give up his martial arts, and his internal swordsmanship improved rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, as autumn entered in the second half of the year, Yue Buqun suddenly asked him to read the Four Books and Five Classics, explain Confucian concepts to him, and especially asked him to read Mencius intensively.
In this way, two or three months later, Yue Buqun taught him a new sword technique called "Yangwu Sword".
The idea of "nurturing me" comes from "Mencius"!
"I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring Qi, so that it is as big and strong as possible. If I cultivate it directly and do no harm, it will be blocked between heaven and earth!"
Meng Ke once said in Zhengqi Song:
In the awe-inspiring righteousness and moral principles, the utmost uprightness and uprightness are cultivated;
There is no greatness outside the universe, and there is no small Taisu Gong within it.
There are thirty-six moves in the set of Yangwu Sword Techniques. Li Mu learned one move every day, and he learned them all in more than a month. This set of Yangwu Sword Techniques is like a humble gentleman, with the main purpose of not fighting. It is used to attack less and defend more, and the moves are exquisite.
Accumulate strength and momentum, use four points of energy to leave six points, defend and lead the attack!
Therefore, the Yangwu Sword is also famous for its Swordsmanship. It is said that with a three-foot green blade in hand, water cannot be splashed into it and needles cannot penetrate. It is an extremely rare set of superior Confucian swordsmanship.
The Quanzhen Sect is known as the three religions in one, and as the Huashan Sect has inherited part of the Quanzhen religious tradition, it seems not surprising that it has Confucian swordsmanship.
This time, Li Mu learned a little slower. The key to improving my sword is not practice, but enlightenment.
If you don't understand this awe-inspiring Confucian spirit, no matter how precise your moves are, it's just a good set of swordsmanship. If you can't use this set of swordsmanship, you will have a three-foot green blade in your hand, and all three feet of your body will be in a forbidden area.
Simply put, Li Mu is not as good as him, and he will eventually master it.
