On the way back to Wudang Mountain, Fang Yunhua was greatly shocked.
In his small courtyard, after blocking others, Zhuo Renqing told his most trusted disciple and son-in-law something he had never told anyone before.
Dongfang Xi has actually seen the [Gate].
In a secret letter sent by Dongfang Xi to Zhuo Renqing, Dongfang Xi mentioned that in the parish of Tianlong Sect, there was a miraculous place that would emit white light at night.
Dongfang Xi didn't believe in the Tianlong Sect's theory. He reasoned that since the light was coming from the ground, it meant that there was a source of light underground.
Dongfang Xi searched around the land of white light for a long time, but found nothing.
As a result, Dongfang Xi accidentally discovered a secret door when he went to Perak Hall to do errands.
Dongfang Xi walked along the secret door and walked for more than ten miles, and finally came to an open place.
"The height of the crypt is like the sky, and the breadth of the crypt is like the four fields."
This is Dongfang Xi's description in the letter.
Later, Dongfang Xi discovered an indescribable object in the deepest part of the cave: "A white light rose from the ground like a pillar, reaching to the dome. Its light was real, neither hot nor penetrating."
Afterwards, Dongfang Xi quietly exited the crypt.
Because this incident was too miraculous, and a series of propaganda about [Heaven] in the teachings of the Tianlong Sect, Dongfang Xi felt a little panicked. He did not dare to tell anyone else, but just wrote it in a secret letter and sent it to his junior brother Zhuo Ren.
clear.
However, after Zhuo Renqing saw Dongfang Xi's letter at the time, he thought that his senior brother had been brainwashed by the Tianlong Sect, or that he had been poisoned by mandala by bad guys and had hallucinations.
This was the last secret letter sent by Dongfang Xi, and finally the six major sects of the Central Plains and the Tianlong Sect started a war.
"Yunhua." Zhuo Renqing said to Fang Yunhua: "I have thought about many things over the years. Maybe what Dongfang Xi saw was not an illusion, but the real [Temple Gate].
[The Gate of the Holy Temple] may be true to its name, it is a [Gate], a [Heaven Gate] leading to the [Outer Heaven].
The [Holy Temple] we have been looking for is actually the [Fairy World]!"
Zhuo Renqing's words frightened Fang Yunhua.
Not only Zhuo Renqing's words, but more importantly, Zhuo Renqing's intoxicated expression and the desire revealed in his eyes.
"Hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening."
Fang Yunhua finally realized the difficulty of snatching the [Temple Key].
In the eyes of Fang Yunhua and Huang Xiaoshi, this is just a "ticket" to go home, but to people in this world, it is the "road to immortality".
Even though Zhuo Renqing now treats him like his own son, when the [Temple Key] really appeared in front of him, if he had to choose one of the two, Zhuo Renqing would just stab him with a sword without even thinking about it.
Fang Yunhua finally understood what Huang Xiaoshi said.
"Only you and me are the closest companions."
…
On this day, Huang Xiaoshi ran to Xiaoyao Valley with gifts.
Although Huang Xiaoshi felt that he could just open his mouth about this matter, but it was not justified in terms of etiquette.
Huang Xiaoshi went to ask for a sword today.
Since he is going to grab the [Book of Swordsmanship], Huang Xiaoshi should at least pretend to know how to use a sword.
Otherwise, grabbing the Heavenly Book is enough to make people hate you, but if you, a guy who doesn't even use a sword, comes to steal the Heavenly Book, then it won't be a matter of being hated, and it will cause public outrage in the martial arts world.
Huang Xiaoshi is now good at swordsmanship, but his problem now is that he doesn't have a sword in his hand.
In fact, Huang Xiaoshi feels that the most convenient thing to use is bamboo poles.
After possessing his own inner strength, and with the blessing of [Hodgepodge Sword Technique], a bamboo pole in Huang Xiaoshi's hand was like a snake coming out of its hole, and it was indestructible.
But no matter how good the bamboo pole is, you can't carry it everywhere you go.
Those who know, understand that you are using bamboo instead of a sword. Those who don’t know, think you are a disciple of the Beggar Clan, holding a dog-beating stick in your hand.
Huang Xiaoshi can also choose to carry a sword, but since he usually doesn't like to carry a sword, it always feels awkward to carry a sword on his body.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoshi wanted a special sword, or in other words, it didn't have to be a sword, or even a flake, just something long and strip-shaped.
If other people knew what Huang Xiaoshi was thinking, they would definitely say to him: "Hey, since you are asking for a sword, you also know the young master of the Sword Forging Villa, so look for him."
This is true, but Huang Xiaoshi and Ren Jiannan are currently in a potential competitive relationship. If Huang Xiaoshi seeks a sword from Ren Jiannan, he is not treating himself as an outsider.
That day, the five of them drank and drank in the restaurant until they finally left the restaurant drunk, and no one mentioned anything about the Book of Heaven.
For some reason, Huang Xiaoshi felt that Fu Jianhan was alienated from him, or maybe Fu Jianhan and Huang Xiaoshi were not the same person in terms of temperament.
No, it should be said that Fu Jianhan and Huang Xiaoshi are the same type of people in terms of personality. They both look free and easy on the surface, but in fact they are extremely true deep down.
But the problem is that Huang Xiaoshi's true heart is different from Fu Jianhan's true heart. They are different.
…
In Xiaoyao Valley.
"Lao Hu." Huang Xiaoshi gestured to Lao Hu and said: "Actually, my requirements are not high. I only need the sword blade to be between two feet and six feet. It doesn't matter if it can be sharpened or not, and it doesn't matter if the edge is not sharp. As long as
Just easy to carry.”
As soon as he heard Huang Xiaoshi's words, Lao Hu turned around and entered the house.
After a while, Lao Hu took out an iron bar. He held both ends of the iron bar and pressed it gently. He pressed the entire iron bar into an Ω shape.
"This is?"
Isn’t this just a tape measure?
"This is the [Full Moon Sword] I made." Lao Hu said to Huang Xiaoshi, "See if it works. If it works, I will add a hilt to the sword for you."
As soon as Lao Hu loosened his grip, the [Full Moon Sword] returned to its straight position, and Huang Xiaoshi took it over.
This sword is very narrow, only about two fingers wide, with a pointed head and flat tail, and no edges on either side.
To put it bluntly, it was such a simple iron bar. If Lao Hu hadn't introduced it, I wouldn't have thought it was a sword.
"This [Full Moon Sword] was originally made by me for a young lady." Lao Hu told Huang Xiaoshi: "The biggest advantage of [Full Moon Sword] is that you can ring up the sword when not in use.
, used as an iron belt to buckle around the waist.
Remove it when needed.
The hilt is made of iron, so you don’t have to worry about it falling off, but the hilt is a little heavy.”
Huang Xiaoshi put the [Full Moon Sword] around his waist and circled it. Hey, it turned out to be exactly the same.
Well, that’s it!
Upon seeing Huang Xiaoshi, Lao Hu was very satisfied. In line with the principle of saying everything he said about his own products, Lao Hu told Huang Xiaoshi about the shortcomings of the sword.
"This [Full Moon Sword] is actually not suitable for men." Lao Hu said to Huang Xiaoshi, "First, the blade is too narrow, and the sword is a little short. If a man uses it, it will look a little delicate.
Also, this sword cannot be sharpened, otherwise it will cut yourself, so you can only use [stabbing] mainly."
From Huang Xiaoshi's point of view, these are not problems.
After asking Lao Hu to put the hilt on the sword, Huang Xiaoshi took the [Full Moon Sword] to the yard and waved it a few times.
"【prick】!"
"【cut】!"
"【wipe】!"
"【pick】!"
Finally, Huang Xiaoshi shouted: "[Behead]!"
After a few blows, he chopped a large wooden pile in the yard into several pieces.
"This sword is really good."
Huang Xiaoshi nodded with satisfaction. He circled the [Full Moon Sword] and buckled it around his waist.
Well, [Full Moon Sword] has become a little longer after adding the hilt. Now it is a little loose on Huang Xiaoshi's waist. I have to find a way to put more padding on the waist, or add more fat.
OK.
"Old Hu. Did you really give me such a good sword?" Huang Xiaoshi had the [Full Moon Sword] on his waist. He turned around and said to Lao Hu: "That young lady will never come to you again to ask for money."
Sword."
Lao Hu shook his head and said, "It's just because the lady didn't want this sword anymore that it was left in the warehouse for several years."
"Why?" Huang Xiaoshi asked puzzledly.
Lao Hu sighed and said, "That lady's waist is too thick and she can't buckle it up."
After listening to Lao Hu's words, Huang Xiaoshi, who just now thought the sword was too long, turned to stone.
That's right, women who practice martial arts don't have slim waists.
Huang Xiaoshi reached out and touched the gap between the [Full Moon Sword] and his waist, which was just big enough to insert two fingers.
Alas, my waist is so thin.
…
After getting the [Full Moon Sword], Jingjiang couldn't wait to try Huang Xiaoshi's sword skills. He heard from Wei Ming that Huang Xiaoshi had learned a good sword skill.
"Senior Brother Jingji, please." Huang Xiaoshi held the sword in his right hand and made a gesture of invitation with his left hand.
The thorns were not in the habit of giving way, so he slashed them with his sword.
Before the sword of thorns was struck down, he could only see him holding the sword in his left hand one space in front of him.
There was a "clang" sound, and the short knife in the thorn bush almost fell off.
Just now Huang Xiaoshi made a sweeping sweep with his sword. The sword was extremely fast and struck first. If the thorns hadn't blocked the blow, he would have been hit by the sword.
This is the biggest advantage of dual weapons, you can attack and defend at the same time.
It's just that in Thorns' hands, both the left sword and the right sword are used for offense.
The raging thorns only cut people.
Huang Xiaoshi didn't know much about swordsmanship before, but now he probably understands that it won't work like this for Thorns.
After Huang Xiaoshi swept his sword, he raised his sword and slashed again.
He did not resist this attack of cutting the thorns, and dodged sideways.
Huang Xiaoshi slashed down with his sword. Before the edge of the sword was gone, he drew his sword, and the soft sword drew a curve in the air and stabbed towards the thorns.
Facing such an unreasonable sword, the thorns and thorns combined to clamp the soft sword.
Before the thorns locked the sword with force, the soft sword quickly drew back, and then slashed with another sword force.
Before Thorny could turn around, he held the knife in one hand to block the block. There was another "clang" sound, and this time the short knife in his hand was released.
This is the way of using swords that Huang Xiaoshi himself understood. In fact, he just used [Cut Off] and [Hodgepodge Sword Technique] mixedly.
After having sword fights with both Japanese and Fu Jianhan, Huang Xiaoshi discovered that there was a big difference in style between the two.
Japanese swordsmanship (swordsmanship) is because the Japanese sword is relatively long and suitable for holding with both hands, so their swordsmanship usually emphasizes strength and fierceness, mainly cutting, and basically does not use "stab".
But don't underestimate the slashing in Japanese swordsmanship. The speed and power of this slashing are extremely high. If you can't dodge, it will be difficult to block with one hand.
If you are accidentally hit, you may lose a hand or your head.
Fu Jianhan's swordsmanship is mainly light and agile. The so-called light and agile are mainly [stabbing] and [wiping].
The original usage of the Zhongyuan sword was [stabbing], or [poking].
Don’t underestimate [thorn]. Although penetrating injuries are inconspicuous, they are more deadly than skin trauma.
However, a set of swordsmanship should not only consist of forceful cuts or light thrusts.
A boxing champion who likes to bite his ears, many people like to talk about how powerful his punches are. In fact, in the eyes of other boxers, his real power lies in his fast left punch and hammer-like right punch.
Use fast punches and heavy hammers alternately, use them repeatedly, and use them over and over again. It doesn't need too many tricks to make your opponent collapse.
When Huang Xiaoshi was fighting Jingji just now, he took turns using two different styles of swordsmanship. As a result, Jingji failed to receive five moves.
It was the first time that Jingjing saw such a powerful swordsmanship, and he immediately became interested.
"Come again."
"good."
So Huang Xiaoshi raised his sword and slashed at the thorns again.
Outside the yard, Wu Xiazi sat on a bamboo chair, watching the two apprentices practicing martial arts, and nodded slightly.
Ji'er still doesn't understand. It's not that Huang Xiaoshi is better at swordsmanship than him, but that his internal strength is stronger than him.
Because Huang Xiaoshi's internal strength is stronger, he can use the narrow sword to make such powerful cuts.
Similarly, if the internal strength of the thorns is stronger than that of Huang Xiaoshi, no matter how hard Huang Xiaoshi cuts it, he can easily block it.
Alas, this child didn't listen even after being told so many times. It would be better to ask others to help teach him.
…
At night, Jiji lay on his little bed and couldn't sleep.
Jingji remembered that Huang Xiaoshi wasn't that powerful before, but suddenly he became so powerful.
During the day today, Thorny Thorns was beaten violently by Huang Xiaoshi. Not only did he lose, but he lost to the point where he couldn't fight back.
After beating Jingji until he couldn't even lift the sword, Huang Xiaoshi sat down and taught Jingji about the principles of swordsmanship and airbending.
"Jiji." Huang Xiaoshi said to Jingji, "In terms of moves, I think you have done a good job, but my victory over you depends on your internal strength."
Jingjia understands the truth, and he is also working hard to cultivate his internal strength.
It's just that Thorns is just an ordinary person, and there is no way he can compare with monsters like Wei Ming and Huang Xiaoshi.
Feeling inferior to Huang Xiaoshi was a big blow to Thorns.
Because as Huang Xiaoshi's designated teammate, Jingjia has a very high level of consciousness, and he would not be able to do such things as holding someone back and looking down their noses, even if it means beating him to death.
[Sword Book] is about to appear, so you have to improve your strength in a short period of time.
Jingji thought of the white crystal sword of that white-haired boy.
If I could get that sword and equip it with a good knife, wouldn't my strength be greatly increased?
Jingjie has made up his mind to go down the mountain to Luoyang tomorrow to find the white-haired guy and ask for a weapon.
