Ji Ning couldn't understand Yunshan Wumao at all, and even asked: "Father, you said that the body should be prepared for sword practice, I barely understand. But the 'mind' must also be prepared for sword practice, what do you mean? "
"Don't worry."
Ji Yichuan looked at his son, and a thick book appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and he threw it at Ji Ning, "First, take a closer look at this boxing technique. This boxing technique is divided into sixteen moves, and the simplest but most basic method of body exertion Everything is included in it. When you have practiced this set of boxing, you will feel relaxed all over your body, and you can do everything according to your heart."
"The sword is an extension of the body. If the body is not free, how can the sword be free?" Ji Yichuan looked at his son, worried that his son was so ambitious, "Calm down."
Ji Ning is very clear about the principle of sharpening a knife and not chopping firewood by mistake.
"Yes, father." Ji Ning lowered his head and flipped through the book in response, carefully memorizing the secrets of boxing. This secret book seems to be very thick, but it is actually thicker because it is tanned with some animal skins. .
After writing down the secrets, I started to practice again. My father continued to give pointers, pointed out mistakes, demonstrated by himself, and told tricks.
In fact, "Wind Shadow Steps" has already involved some physical strength, but "Wind Shadow Steps" is more about leg strength, because of experience... Ji Ning learned it very quickly.
…
An hour later.
"Take a break." Ji Yichuan looked at his sweaty son, "From now on, practice boxing for an hour every day until I believe that your body is ready for sword practice."
"Preparing your body for sword practice is one aspect."
"You have to be prepared to practice swords." Two black iron swords appeared in Ji Yichuan's hands, and he threw them directly to his son, "Take it!"
Ji Ning held these two swords.
At the same time, Ji Yichuan pointed to the open space next to him, huh, a metal puppet appeared out of nowhere on the open space, and the metal puppet was holding a knife in its hand.
"This is a puppet." Ji Yichuan said, "In the school of refining qi and cultivating immortals, there are people who are good at refining puppets. This puppet is the most common one, and it has the strength of the day after tomorrow. However, its body is extremely tough. .”
"Father, why are there red spots on his body?" Ji Ning was puzzled.
There are more than a dozen red spots on this black metal puppet, which are located on the eyebrows, throat, chest, abdomen, arms, wrists, and back.
"You try to stab the red spot between its eyebrows with a sword." Ji Yichuan said directly, "Hurry up."
"Yes." Ji Ning suddenly stabbed with his right hand.
Wow!
The point of the sword pierced, but it pierced the head, and it deviated by about an inch.
"This..." Ji Ning was slightly taken aback, he obviously wanted to stab at the center of his eyebrows, so he couldn't help stabbing three times in a row, but it always missed.
"Did you find out?" Ji Yichuan said indifferently, "Although you want to stab a sword between your eyebrows in your heart, when you do it, you can't stab at all. How can you stab accurately? First, you need to control your body more freely, and second It just takes thousands of practice sessions.”
"Any kind of swordsmanship, if completely broken down, can be divided into the basic thirteen moves of chopping, thrusting, lifting, sweeping, collapsing, pointing, chopping, racking, cutting, twisting, picking, pulling, and hanging."
"Splitting, stabbing, teasing, sweeping, chopping, pointing, tends to attack."
"Hanging, collapsing, racking, picking, dialing, hanging, intercepting, leaning towards defense."
Ji Yichuan pointed to the metal puppet: "This puppet is motionless and has nineteen red spots on its body. You perform the six moves of 'splitting, stabbing, teasing, sweeping, chopping, and pointing' on it, and I will teach you each of them. The trick, how to coordinate body shape and technique, every basic sword style has to be practiced tens of millions of times!"
"Afterwards, the puppet will move and slash at you with swordsmanship. You will use the basic seven-sword style of 'strangling, collapsing, racking, picking, pulling, hanging, and cutting' to defend, and you will have to defend tens of millions of times."
"attack!"
"Defense!"
"When you become proficient in the future, the puppet will fight with you, and your basic thirteen sword styles will be mixed and used on it." Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "One day, your basic thirteen sword styles will really deepen Bone marrow, extremely precise, can be regarded as completely engraving the root of the 'sword' in the heart, and your heart is considered ready to practice swords."
Ji Ning held his breath.
"Get your body ready."
"Be prepared."
"Afterwards, you can really start practicing swordsmanship." Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "Swordsmanship is complicated, and it is composed of the basic thirteen swordsmanship. If you don't even integrate the basic thirteen swordsmanship into your bones... you can practice swordsmanship." How high is it?"
"You won't be able to reach the first level of swordsmanship, the 'basic', until you are really proficient in the swordsmanship I taught you."
"Swords are also divided into three realms."
"Basic, nuanced, harmony between man and nature!"
"The subtlety of the footwork is the subtle control of the body. The subtlety of the swordsmanship is the subtlety of the control of the body and the sword, and they must be like one with each other! The difficulty is ten times higher!"
"Heaven and man are one? That's even more distant."
Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "Ji Ning, you understand the path you are going to take."
"En." Ji Ning nodded heavily.
The practice of Chiming Jiutiantu is to make oneself have a body like a god and a demon, and possess incredible power.
But the practice of footwork and swordsmanship can determine... how much strength one can display!
"Father, how long do I need to practice before I can unite human and sword?" Ji Ning couldn't help asking.
"It's hard to say." Ji Yichuan shook his head, "It took me six years to lay the foundation, and it took me another six years to unite human and sword. It took twelve years!"
"Twelve years?" Ji Ning held his breath.
It took twelve years for my father to become the number one strongest person in the Ji Clan's West Mansion at such a young age. Like many mediocre people...the whole life of practicing swords can't reach the state of 'unity of human and sword'.
"Don't aim too high, you have to be down-to-earth." Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "Let's start, I'll teach you the basic thirteen sword moves—stab!"
…
Under his father's guidance, Ji Ning's posture was very standard, stabbing again and again! Chop again and again! Teasing again and again! Point again and again!
very boring.
very tired.
Fortunately, Ji Ning's recovery has been astonishing, and he has been suffering from illnesses in his previous life... He has a personality that does not give up easily.
After attacking for an hour, it will take another hour to practice defense again.
The metal puppet didn't know how tired it was, and repeatedly swung the chopper to order Ji Ning to defend.
"Yichuan." Yu Chixue was standing in the distance, watching his son practice hard.
Ji Yichuan also walked up to his wife and looked at his son who was fighting with the metal puppet in the distance: "Xue, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect... Our son's perseverance is so strong, I even made it, if he feels tired If he refuses to practice, I force him to prepare for cultivation. I didn’t expect that I didn’t need to force him at all!”
"Practice footwork in the morning." Yu Chixue looked at his son distressedly, "Although he yelled that he was tired, he just yelled and never stopped. Three hours in the morning, three hours in the afternoon... a full six hours of practice a day , how old is Ning'er this year?"
"I still remember when I was a child." Ji Yichuan said softly, "At that time, I was forced by my father. I felt so tired at the time that I was about to collapse, but once I gave up, my father would whip me hard. I cried once Swinging and stabbing the sword again... until I was ten years old, my father was killed by the big monster in Dongshanze, my mother and I's status plummeted, we saw all the turmoil of human beings, and my mother died of illness... Only then did I wake up and stop shouting. Do not complain when you are tired, practice hard every day."
I have never practiced before, so I don't know how tiring continuous practice is.
The body is tired, and the mind is even more tired.
If you don't have enough persistence and desire in your heart, you won't be able to persist.
"At first, I doubted my son's future achievements." Ji Yichuan said softly, "He is very talented in body training, but if he doesn't work hard, his future achievements will not be much higher... Now, I believe it, my son He will definitely become a real strong man on this land. Definitely!"
Yu Chixue listened to what her husband said, looked at her son immersed in cultivation in the distance, and nodded slightly: "I believe it too!"
…
Seeing myself a little bit stronger, stronger than some supermen and so on in the movies I watched in my previous life, this feeling is so wonderful!
one year later.
Wow~~ Meng Yu who was standing in the distance suddenly threw four stones, and the taller 'Ji Ning' pulled the bow violently, holding four arrows in his hand, with four arrows between five fingers arrow.
call out! call out! call out! call out!
The four arrows disappeared in a flash, leaving four waves of air in the air, and then directly hit the four stones flying in the distance, causing the four stones to shatter directly, and the falling one place.
"Okay." Meng Yu strode forward, laughing loudly, the laughter was like thunder.
"Master Mengyu." Ji Ning retracted his bow.
"Your heart and arrows have been practiced, even the four arrows that I am most proud of, you have practiced it so quickly." Meng Yu nodded in praise, "I have nothing to entrust to you about your bow and arrow skills. Next, you need to practice more and accumulate experience. As your strength becomes stronger, you will naturally be able to shoot stronger arrows. This training ground is too small for you. You need to go to a more open place, separated by a distance. Shooting arrows two miles away, or even three or four miles away! The farther the distance, the more environmental considerations such as wind speed will be.”
"Understood." Ji Ning nodded.
Archery is extremely accurate.
Gravity needs to be taken into account, as bows and arrows fall due to gravity during flight. Also take wind into account!
It sounds complicated, but in fact, as long as you sense the wind, you can shoot directly without even aiming, because how to shoot, what angle, everything has been integrated into the bone after countless times of practice. At least for the current Ji Ning...with a bow and arrow within 500 meters, even a fly can't escape!
But this is not enough!
As the strength becomes stronger, the arrows shot by some innate creatures can fly for several miles and still have powerful power! The greater the distance, the harder it is to maintain accuracy...and it takes more practice to gain experience.
"From tomorrow onwards, I will not come here, son, you are the most talented person I have ever taught." Meng Yu looked at Ji Ning, "Don't waste your talent, in the future, you will definitely become the most talented person on the land of Yanshan Mountain." The most terrifying archer."
