"The sword is a gentleman's weapon, and the way of the sword is the king's way!"
Xiaojiajiao was good at using the fire python whip, but he also spoke eloquently about the way of swordsmanship, and popularized its principles to Fang Yuan: "There are countless weapons in the world, and the sword is the most common one, but it is also the most difficult to practice. People with swords can be seen everywhere, and there are countless kendo magic weapons in the practice world, but there are not many who can use swords well. Since you are so stubborn and determined to learn swords, then I will give you some guidance first. After your kendo practice, whether you can enter the kendo depends on your talent!"
"Mr. Zhu also told me what you are talking about. I have decided since I was a child that I would either not learn it or learn to sword if I wanted to!"
Fang Yuan answered firmly, jumped off the bed and stood respectfully in front of Little Pepper.
Seeing his nervous expression now, and thinking of the abominable way he faced the wall and ignored her just now, Little Pepper was angry and laughing in her heart. She suddenly became narrow-minded, coughed, and said: "You have this Zhi, I have no choice but to fulfill your wish, let’s do this, there is a book that I have treasured for many years, which contains countless magical sword manuals, so I will go get it and give it to you!”
With that said, he jumped out of the window and flew towards the Spiritual Medicine Palace at a very fast speed. It took less than a cup of tea before he flew back again. He took a few deep breaths and held a book in his hands. Huang's sword manual was handed over solemnly.
Fang Yuan's scalp felt numb for a while, he took it with his hands and saw the nine big characters on it:
The thunderbolt dominates the Nine Heavens Sword!
"this… "
Fang Yuan was stunned. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly said: "Why does this look a bit like the way you used to pad the legs of the table..."
"Nonsense!"
Little Pepper's eyes narrowed and she scolded: "This is not the book I used to pad the legs of the table!"
"Yes Yes… "
Fang Yuan could only nod his head repeatedly, for fear of offending her, he opened the sword manual with slight excitement...
Then he was stunned again, stupidly looking at the contents of the sword manual.
"The breeze blows in the willows..."
"Tiger coming down the mountain?"
"The bright moon hangs high..."
"The widow climbed over the wall?"
Not to mention anything else, Fang Yuan was speechless just by looking at the sword moves included in the Thunderbolt Domination Nine Heavens Sword Manual. The previous move was quite artistic, the sword moved lightly, but the next move was vulgar. Despicable and obscene, this is a bit of a hodgepodge...
I couldn't help it, so I looked at Little Pepper suspiciously.
"This guy is not easy to fool..."
Little Pepper secretly scolded this kid for being smart, but she looked very angry on her face. She snorted loudly, suddenly reached out and grabbed the sword book, opened it, and asked Fang Yuan to look inside. When she stepped out, a willow branch from the window flew into her hand. She held the soft willow branch and shook it in her hand. She immediately absorbed the magic power and made it as strong and straight as a sword.
"This move is called the breeze blowing through the willows..."
She glared at Fang Yuan, then suddenly bent her knees and stretched her arms. She floated out of the window like a red cloud. She placed a willow branch on the tree in her hand, and countless willow leaves fell down. They were scattered one after another, which was very beautiful, until Fang Yuan When I saw one of the willow leaves, I was surprised. The endless willow leaves were actually split into two halves with this sword, as accurately as measured by a ruler...
"This move is called the Tiger Descending the Mountain..."
Little Pepper floated down from the willow tree, shouted in a low voice, then slashed down, and a piece of the stubborn stone on the ground was suddenly chipped away.
"The bright moon hangs high..."
Next, she shouted two more times, and her figure suddenly floated like a fairy, flying upward into the clouds, and the willow branch in her hand seemed to have become a real sword, and a powerful sword intent emanated from it, stabbing straight into the sky. In the sky, there is a faint sound of dragon roaring, which lingers for a long time!
Fang Yuan was almost dumbfounded: "Is this sword technique so powerful?"
However, in the midst of his shock, he was surprised to find that Little Pepper's figure had disappeared.
"There is another trick, that is, the widowed... beauty climbs over the wall!"
The willow branch was placed on his neck, and Little Pepper's voice came from behind proudly: "Where are you looking? The sword intention of this move is to hide, sounding east and west, suddenly left and right... Is the beauty going to climb over the wall? If Are you going to die of shame if someone sees you?"
Fang Yuan felt that his whole body was shaking with excitement. After a while, he turned around and saluted politely: "Thank you, Master Ling, for your teaching!"
Little Pepper then hummed with satisfaction and said calmly: "From now on, you should practice according to this sword manual. You have a smart head and can learn things faster than others, but don't blame me for not telling you. You, practicing swordsmanship is different from studying. Studying relies on understanding, and swordsmanship relies on practice. It has just begun, and you are far from the time to use your understanding, so you should master the basic skills first!"
"Yes Yes Yes… "
Fang Yuan agreed repeatedly. Under the signal from her eyes, he respectfully opened the chessboard and quickly placed it on it.
Little Pepper sat down triumphantly, and then left angrily less than half an hour later.
Fang Principle hugged the sword manual and thought seriously about it in the room for a while, and found that what Xiaojiao said was indeed good.
The four swords were simple. He had memorized the gestures of Little Lajiao's sword. The sword manual also explained it clearly. He didn't even need to use Tianlu's technique to practice these sword moves. However, in my mind, there is really no need for the word "enlightenment".
He also understood in his heart that with this Heaven's Art, to a certain extent, what improved was actually his own understanding. No matter how complicated the principles or methods were, he could understand them instantly, but in exchange for such simple and straightforward principles, , but it can’t help!
Without understanding, there is only one method left to learn swordsmanship, and that is: practice!
After making up his mind, he stood up, found a tree trunk, whittled it into a wooden sword, and then stabbed forward with the sword...
… no!
Although the posture is simple, it doesn't have the same momentum as when Pepper uses the sword!
Fang Yuan chuckled in his heart, but he also felt a bit proud: "I, Fang Yuan, ask myself that my mind is not weaker than others, my heart is not weaker than others, my willingness to endure hardships is not weaker than others, even Daoyuan's True Understanding If you can understand it thoroughly, how can you be stumped by this sword technique?"
Anyway, I don’t have much life these days, so I can use my spare time to study and practice my sword!
In the next three days, Fang Yuan became angry. In addition to his regular daily reading and practice, he spent all the other time practicing sword practice. He would not stop until his arms became sore and his body became weak. He would rest for a while and continue practicing sword practice. .
But if you don’t practice swordsmanship, you don’t know how difficult it is.
When three days passed, he demonstrated the swordsmanship in front of Xiaojiao, but he still only got the form but not the spirit.
"Huh? It's only been three days, and this kid has actually practiced well?"
Looking at Fang Yuan with a disappointed look on his face, Little Pepper was shocked.
But soon, she had an idea in her mind, and she showed an even more disappointed look on her face, and said sadly: "Three days have passed, three full days, you idiot, you have only practiced this Well, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? If you are really stupid, come on, come on, play two games of chess with me first, and when I am happy, I will give you some tips!"
"oh… "
Fang Yuan was also very disappointed. He behaved like a child who had done something wrong in front of Little Pepper. He was too cowardly to speak loudly. He played three games of chess with Little Pepper, but all he could think about was the sword. Fa, a little distracted, actually lost one game to Pepper, and the other two games were also very difficult to win. He was undoubtedly feeling more disappointed, but Pepper was relaxed and happy, with a smile on his face.
"This fool has been fooled. My method is really good. If it doesn't work, I must hit him to keep him in this state!"
After finishing the chess game, she criticized Fang Yuan's swordsmanship with a critical eye. Here he lacked momentum, and there he was weak. The final conclusion was that Fang Yuan was almost the best in martial arts. He is so crippled that he could be killed by a head-on collision!
Fang Yuan didn't refute, he listened honestly, and after Little Pepper left, he practiced even harder.
Day after day like this, Fang Yuan couldn't remember how many times he had practiced this simple sword move, and he didn't know if he had mastered the basics of kendo that Xiaojiao mentioned. He only knew that although he was now familiar with the sword skills mentioned in the manual The sword moves are completely understood in the mind, but when they are executed, they are still full of errors, not to mention the mysterious spirit of Little Pepper when executed.
Because of this, when Little Pepper criticized herself for being stupid and scolded herself for not practicing hard enough, she had no choice but to listen honestly. When she asked her to play chess, she had no choice but to accompany her conscientiously. Unqualified apprentices are not qualified. complain.
Of course he didn't know that his changes in swordsmanship now made even Little Pepper feel scared.
She has thought to herself countless times: "This fool is really scary. He can practice such sword moves so hard. I don't know how to give him guidance now. I can only say that he is not strong enough... He How did you know that sword moves are just shapes, and if you want to improve your realm, you need to have good sword skills. This sword manual contains basic common sword skills. No matter how crazy you practice, you can only get familiar with the feeling of the sword. Why? Will it be powerful? I only relied on the combination of mana to display that kind of divine energy... "
"But I can't tell him that now he is addicted to sword practice and his chess skills have declined greatly, but my chess skills have skyrocketed and I will beat him soon. Hum, by then, I will take back the title of Little Chess Fairy. It’s not too late to tell him the truth…”
"Anyway... it doesn't hurt to have basic skills!"
