Ximen Xuan and Ximen Feng rode fast horses from Luoyang to Leshan in one go.
By the time they arrived, more than half a month had passed.
Along the way, Ximen Xuan was extremely anxious.
A few days ago, Ximen Xuan, who was in Luoyang, received a report from the disciples who were staying at the [Sword Cave] in Leshan, saying that the people from the Juedao Clan forced their way into the [Sword Cave]. Not only did they not take the [Sword Collegial Council] seriously, they even
He also brought outsiders into the cave.
What made Ximen Xuan even more furious was that the disciples said that those outsiders were not only looking around in the [Sword Cave], but also scribbling with paint.
Ximen Xuan's heart was bleeding: Xiahou City, you old beast, you actually did something that went against your ancestors!
No matter what the outcome is when Juedao Sect destroys [Sword Cave] like this, Tianjian Sect and Juedao Sect are incompatible with each other!
When Ximen and his son rode their fast horses and ran outside the [Sword Cave] in Leshan, they saw no one guarding the door, and they could hear bursts of noise coming from inside the cave.
As expected, as expected!
Ximen Xuan drew his sword and jumped off his horse.
Ximen Xuan clenched his teeth and glared, no matter who he was, after he rushed in, he would stab the first person he met to death with a sword first!
Like a mad dog, Ximen Xuan rushed into the [Sword Cave] with a low growl in his throat. When he saw the first person, he raised his hand and stabbed him with his sword.
As a result, after Ximen Xuan raised his sword, he did not dare to stab it.
"Ah, Master Ximen, you came just in time." After Huang Xiaoshi saw Ximen Xuan coming, he didn't pay any attention to the sharp sword in his hand, but said to him enthusiastically: "We just happened to be re-engraving
I have mastered all the sword skills, and I just want to return them to you."
"Ah!! The thief shall die!!"
At this time, Ximen Feng rushed over from behind with a strange scream.
Just now, Ximen Feng got off his horse in a hurry, but his foot got caught in the stirrup and almost broke his foot.
Seeing that there was suddenly no sound in the cave as soon as Dad entered, Ximen Feng felt very sad. Dad must have been plotted by thieves.
After finally getting rid of the stumbling stirrup, Ximen Feng pulled out his sharp sword and rushed into the cave with a roar. As soon as he entered the cave, his father turned around and slapped him.
Ximen Peak was shaken by this slap. The world really became too fast, just like the spinning heaven and earth.
"Master Ximen, please take a look." Huang Xiaoshi led Ximen Xuan to visit the [Sword Cave]. He pointed and explained to Ximen Xuan.
"Speaking of which, the biggest credit for being able to recreate all the traces in this [Sword Cave] is the Master Ren."
Huang Xiaoshi introduced Ximen Xuan while talking.
"This owner Ren is the owner of Zhujian Villa. He lent us the ancestral [Magic Sword and Buddha Sword] for use, which solved the problem of identifying these sword marks.
Because the shape of this [Magic Sword and Buddha Sword] is indeed a bit surprising. If we hadn't obtained the original, we probably wouldn't have been able to predict how some of the moves were used.
Master Ximen, please take a look.
I used different colors of paint to distinguish the knife marks and sword marks.
The red ones are knife marks, the yellow ones are sword marks, and the numbers marked with black pen next to them are the order of their moves.
Please see, this [1] is the first move we can see, but unfortunately, this is not like the first move when the two of them fight..."
This, this is the ancestral treasure of our family. Now, why is it that an outsider is talking and boasting, while my father is listening and nodding, and he does not look like he is trying to eat people on the road.
I think it's because I haven't woken up yet.
Ximen Feng reached out and slapped himself again.
…
As Huang Xiaoshi said, the re-engraving work of [Sword Cave] is really the result of the efforts of many parties.
First of all, that day Xia Houcheng led a few people into the [Sword Cave] and slapped the gatekeeper of the Tianjian Sect away with a few slaps. After that, Huang Xiaoshi began to take charge of the re-engraving work.
"These are sword marks. They were cut into the stone. If you work harder, they won't be broken."
The first thing was that Huang Xiaoshi was organizing manual cleaning.
"Even for archeology, the soil and dust must be cleaned up. Wow, you guys are really retro. If you touch it, the dust here is so thick, you are really used to it.
Come on, come on, sweep every place in the cave, including the walls and ceiling, with a broom for me once, no, three times.
Hurry, let’s move on to the second step after this is done.”
It took almost two days to finally clean up the centuries-old dust in the [Sword Cave]. At this time, Huang Xiaoshi took two buckets of paint.
As soon as he saw Huang Xiaoshi carrying paint to paint in the [Sword Cave], Xia Houcheng was about to lose his temper, but Xia Houfei suppressed his father.
"Master Huang, it's not that my father has a bad temper. You see, this was passed down to us by our ancestors, and I want to pass it on to my own children. What will you do if you mess up the paint?"
Fei said extremely politely to Huang Xiaoshi.
"Don't worry, it won't be broken." Huang Xiaoshi didn't care at all.
Of course Huang Xiaoshi doesn't care. Since this thing is not theirs, he won't feel bad if it gets broken. Besides, if I, Huang Xiaoshi, can't untie it, I'm afraid you stupid treasures won't be able to untie it in another hundred years.
.
If it's broken, I'll ask for it.
"Come on, let's start with the basics." Huang Xiaoshi pulled Xia Houfei over, handed him the magic knife, and said to him, "Come and demonstrate your [Thirteen Styles of the Absolute Sword]."
After Xia Houfei took the magic knife, he began to perform one move after another. Every time he slashed, he just cut through the knife marks on the grotto.
Xia Houfei had just completed the [Thirteen Styles of Jue Dao] when Huang Xiaoshi suddenly spoke.
"No, your last two moves were wrong." Huang Xiaoshi said to Xia Houfei.
How could it be wrong?
This is my family's sword technique. I have been practicing it since I was a child, and my old man has also been practicing it since I was a child. You actually told me that it is wrong.
Xiahou Fei glanced at Xiahou Cheng next to him, but Xiahou Cheng remained silent.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Xia Houfei knew that he could say more and make more mistakes, but if he messed up, there would be an old man who could tell the truth.
Huang Xiaoshi took the magic knife from Xia Houfei's hand and pushed him away, then imitated his previous action and made a stroke. This was the twelfth move.
However, Huang Xiaoshi's slashing movements with the knife were different from Xia Houfei's. After Xia Houfei finished his move, he did not stop, but continued to swing until the knife drew a big circle in the air above his head.
When Xiahou Cheng saw it, his eyes lit up.
Yes, this twelfth pose is not smooth no matter how he practices it, and he can't connect it with the thirteenth pose.
For this matter, Xiahou Cheng had been beaten a lot since he was a child. In the end, it was his father's fists and toes that convinced Xiahou Cheng that there was no problem with this move.
Similarly, Xia Houcheng also used persuasion and education on Xia Houfei, and this was what he did.
However, if the 12th pose is wrong, the 13th pose is also wrong.
Oops, no wonder I haven't been able to understand new sword techniques for so many years. It turns out that this is where I went wrong!
After Huang Xiaoshiwu played that move, he then used another knife, which happened to fit perfectly with the marks on the cave.
"This is the real twelfth and thirteenth posture."
Huang Xiaoshi said to Xia Houfei.
Xia Houfei was dumbfounded, but Xia Houfei woke up quickly and retorted.
"Oh, that's not right!" Xia Houfei pointed to the top of the cave at the top of Huang Xiaoshi, where there was a scratch, and then said, "According to your gesture, it is so far from the top, how could you possibly get there...
"
Before Xia Houfei finished speaking, he saw Huang Xiaoshi using the twelfth move again. This was not an act by him, but a real attack.
A wave of blades passed by, except for the scratches on the cave wall that were scratched by the magic knife. Xia Houfei looked up and saw that the knife mark on the top of his head, which was more than a foot high from the person, was also struck by the sword energy.
Hit.
"Do you know?
Another problem why you have not been able to reproduce the moves here is that your martial arts are too different from those of those who were present at the time.
So there are many moves that you simply can’t understand what’s going on.”
Huang Xiaoshi's words were tantamount to scolding Xiahou Fei, Xiahou Cheng, Xiahou's entire family, and the ancestors of Xiahou and Ximen.
However, what he said was indeed correct. If Huang Xiaoshi had not been present, no one would have thought that the knife wielder stood on the ground and drew a knife, leaving a knife mark on the top of the grotto.
Huang Xiaoshi raised his head and looked at the roof of the cave. This move was a full-strength strike that activated his internal energy and did not stop. However, judging from the effect, the sword energy only brushed against the roof of the cave and did not penetrate the stone at all.
According to Zhuangzhu Ren, Linghu Daxia used a sword and Xiao Xiami used a knife.
This sword technique is at least as high as a two-story building.
Huang Xiaoshi looked at the knife marks on the top of the [Sword Cave] and said with emotion in his heart.
…
After showing his hand, everyone (except Jingji) no longer had any opinions or opinions on Huang Xiaoshi's hosting of the re-enactment, leaving it up to him to do whatever he wanted.
The first thing to do is to identify the knife mark or the sword mark.
Through everyone's careful identification, most of the obvious marks are knife marks, and some small holes that no one noticed before are sword marks.
This can only be seen by comparing the appearance of the magic sword and the Buddhist sword. Because the Buddhist sword is very sharp, it is only suitable for the action of [stabbing].
When Hero Linghu stabbed with his sword, the edge of the sword penetrated the stone. However, these small holes were ignored at first.
After identifying the traces, Huang Xiaoshi took a brush and painted all the traces with color. After coloring, the [Sword Cave] that originally looked messy seemed to become much clearer with the regulations.
The next step is to reverse the sword skills and sword moves, which requires the help of Jing Jie and Huang Xiaoshi.
The two of them didn't just want to learn one and a half moves, but they wanted to reverse the entire competition process.
This is the most difficult step, which is equivalent to putting together a lot of disorganized puzzle pieces.
Huang Xiaoshi's starting point was to first reproduce the [Thirteen Styles of Jue Sword] and [Seven Styles of Heavenly Sword] that he had already reproduced. He would first see if any of the twenty moves could match them.
As a result, through repeated practice by Huang Xiaoshi and Jingjia, they finally discovered that among the seven movements of Heavenly Sword, five of them are actually sword techniques, and there are only two real sword techniques.
This is really a dumbfounding result.
No wonder the Heavenly Sword Sect has so few moves, and the [Stab] action is the most difficult to replicate.
Because you can only roughly know the position where the sword thrust out, but you cannot deduce the posture of the person wielding the sword.
The Juedao Clan and the Heavenly Sword Clan have been bitter rivals for decades, and their moves are incompatible with each other. They both say that there is a narrow road between enemies, but these two don't even have a road. I really don't know how they fight in the daily battle.
In this way, Huang Xiaoshi and Jing Jie were practicing their moves in the [Sword Cave] every day. On the eleventh day, Jing Jie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and he connected several sword skills together.
With this breakthrough, Thorns connected more and more moves. Not only did he complete all the subsequent moves, but he also deduced the previous moves based on the movements.
On the fourteenth day, Jingji stood in the [Sword Cave]. After setting his position, he took a deep breath and started practicing with the magic sword.
From the beginning to the end, it was smooth and flowing, and the thorns were beaten with a set of sword skills.
ha.
Thorns exhaled a breath of white air from his mouth.
This feeling is so comfortable.
Seeing this, Xiahou Cheng and Xia Houfei were naturally extremely excited. What the Xiahou family had not been able to accomplish for several generations, they did not expect that they would all be recreated successfully today.
Xiahou Cheng's eyes filled with tears and he almost couldn't cry.
Ren Haoran watched from the side and sighed, these are the traces left by his ancestors.
In his own generation, he could only make a living by looking at people's faces, so Ren Haoran naturally felt very sad when talking about it.
Thorns can complete a set of sword skills from beginning to end, but this is clearly a competition between two people, so another question arises, why Xiao Xiami can complete a set of sword skills with the magic knife.
The conclusion came out quickly. Jingjie and Huang Xiaoshi said to the people present at the same time, almost in unison: "Because the two people competing here have no contact at all."
This conclusion once again subverted the imagination of others present.
Originally, when everyone saw the sword marks all over the cave, they thought that the two men fought so fiercely in the cave that day that even the top of the cave was covered with scratches.
In fact, the two people did not touch each other at all, they were competing in the air.
No, it doesn't mean there was no contact. Seeing the traces all over the cave, it can only be said that their swords did not come into direct contact, but the light and shadow of the sword came and went.
"It's really eye-opening, eye-opening!"
Ren Haoran said with admiration.
"Alas, I have practiced swordsmanship for so long, and I am like a hammer!" Xia Houfei said with a disappointed heart.
After Xia Houcheng heard Xia Houfei's words, he directly gave Xia Houfei a hammer: You are a hammer. Didn't you say that I am a hammer?
After the sword technique was reproduced, the sword technique became much simpler.
It only took three days, and after deduction with Jingji, Huang Xiaoshi recreated a set of sword techniques.
"prick!"
Huang Xiaoshi shouted loudly. He picked up the Buddhist sword in his hand and stabbed forward hard. The sword energy penetrated the stone wall about ten feet away, leaving a shallow mark.
well.
No, it's too different.
Judging from their looks, they may have reached a super-first-class realm.
…
The sword moves that were reproduced in the end were not that amazing. If others looked at them, they would only see Jingjia and Huang Xiaoshi gesticulating in the air with their weapons. It couldn't be more fake.
Ximen Xuan and Ximen Feng watched the two people's martial arts performances completely from the sidelines. Then Jingjia and Huang Xiaoshi switched weapons. Huang Xiaoshi used a knife and Jingji used a sword. The two gesticulated again.
At this time, Huang Xiaoshi received a system prompt. When the three-second hesitation period was about to end, Huang Xiaoshi gritted his teeth and chose to take a gamble.
"Your skill [Chowder Sword Technique] is replaced by [Sword Return to Truth]."
【Sword returns to its true nature】: Use the sword to make up the sword, use the sword to make up the knife. The sword follows your heart, and its power is invisible.
