The great hero, from nine to five

After being informed by the disciple of Zangfeng Island, Xun Wu approached the hall of disciples.

The old sword king was still sitting on the main seat, looking as if he was about to die.

Xun Wu clasped his fists, bowed to the old sword king, and said hello.

"Oh, it's Xun Bei Xia?" The old sword king opened his eyes, noticed Xun Wu's appearance, and asked, "I don't know why you came to see me, old man?"

"Senior, out of respect, I want to pay a visit to senior." Xun Wu was telling the truth.

"Hahaha..." The old sword king couldn't help shaking his head when he heard Xun Wu's words, and said, "What respect... the past is like smoke, the past is just the past, it's no big deal.

The era belongs to you young people. "

Xun Wu had also heard these words from Zuo Yanhan.

Juetian old man also had a similar performance.

A generation of new people in the rivers and lakes replaces the old ones, the rivers and lakes are like this, the world is like this, and history is like this.

But after such a long time, Xun Wu has come into contact with more and more seniors, and his perception of this kind of words is different from before.

"What the predecessors said is true, but the people of the Li people, the children of the rivers and lakes, no matter who they are, if they want to avoid detours, they must learn from the knowledge and experience of the predecessors.

Choose the good ones to learn and discard the bad ones.

The senior is a rare sword king in the world, and I also learn swords, so I naturally want to ask for advice. "

The old sword king opened his eyes. He gently took the crutch beside him, clasped his hands, and looked at Xun Wu quietly: "...not bad, not bad."

Of course, he had heard the rumors about Xun Wu.

I met yesterday, and I really like this young guy, he is very energetic and imposing.

But he doesn't care about martial arts, momentum, swords, legends and so on.

What he cares more about is a person's thoughts.

As for Xun Wu's words, he was very satisfied.

"Well, if you have any questions, old man, if I know, I will give you one or two answers."

This is what Xun Wu was waiting for.

He deliberated for a while, then began to dig out something from his clothes, and after taking it out, he continued: "Last year, I was fortunate enough to meet Chen Jianshi of the Dongshan School at the [Quanqinghui], and I inherited a book of sword techniques from him. After studying it for a year now, most of it is still not fully understood, so... I want to ask seniors for advice."

The old sword king looked at the things in Xun Wu's hands, and was silent for a while.

After a while, he took his left hand away from the crutch and stretched it out, and the cheat book in Xun Wu's hand immediately fell into his hand as if blown by the wind.

Xun Wu looked at the flat palm and did not make any further movements, waiting for the old sword king to speak.

"As expected of the thoughtful and thoughtful Xun Catcher, did you show me one on purpose?" Old Sword King said with a hidden murderous intent.

"Not all." Xun Wu said truthfully, "I'm very curious about what happened back then, and the current situation will appear in the end. But again, reading this martial arts... there are indeed many difficult problems, and I just need a senior can answer it for me."

The old knife king was noncommittal, and opened the cheat book.

This "Sword Cutting Sword Art" has been in Chen Jianshi's hands for many years, and I don't know how many times it has been revised. It is dozens or hundreds of times more than the "No. [-] Kung Fu" that Xun Wu made for Duan Bielai. .

However, even though it has been modified so many times, and the carrier has been replaced several times, the core of this cheat book, the idea of ​​this martial arts book, is still the same as the original one.

This is inheritance and change.

The blood of Yan and Huang is flowing in the bones of the Chinese, and they value the land far more than other ethnic groups. When they go to any place, they always consider whether they can farm the land.

Similarly, no matter what big company or family it is, or the sect or aristocratic family in this world, it will more or less inherit some characteristics of the founder.

Just like the Ji family is afraid of officials in their bones, Dongshan disciples farm the land every day.

Unless the world is changed and recreated from scratch—like Lou Shaoyuan built a new Jue Tianhui, these things are almost impossible to change.

Although "Sword Slashing and Sword Art" is completely different from the past, and even the old sword king can't find many words that he still has an impression on, but these words, each example, each sentence of explanation, and each illustration, But like the most familiar friend, it was imprinted in his heart.

A smile appeared on his face, he lowered his voice, and muttered: "What kind of mess is written here, it insults my sword skills—"

In the whole world, he is probably the only first-class swordsman who dares to criticize the master swordsman.

While speaking, he leaned back slightly, brought the book in front of his eyes, and quickly flipped through it with his right hand. The more he read, the deeper the smile on his face.

Xun Wu raised his eyebrows.

This is not like a reaction of "disgraceful knife skills", but more like a long-lost joy.

Xun Wu didn't remember any other superfluous words in this exercise, all of them were very theoretical.

He didn't know why the old sword king was so happy after seeing it.

In fact, there is no redundant content in this exercise book, let alone hidden acrostics, but the old sword king, as the creator of this sword technique, has a clear understanding.

He can imagine behind each of these theories and conclusions. Chen Jianshi stood on the chair scratching his scalp and scratching his ears and cheeks. research and understanding.

For him, although there is no exchange of content in this exercise book, it is actually a letter of greetings between close friends.

"Alas—" The old sword king didn't look like an old man who couldn't stand upright at all. It didn't take long for him to read through the entire cheat book, but then he fell into a deep emptiness again.

He casually threw away the secret book in his hand, Xun Wu raised his hand, and took it in his hand precisely, then saw the old sword king half lying on the chair, as if he fell into memory again.

After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses and said, "I see that you left a bookmark in the book, and now you are studying the straight-edged sword?"

"Yes."

"What confusion."

"What I don't understand is what is the difference between a single-edged straight sword and a machete used in ordinary times... Or, in my opinion, isn't this slightly curved single-edged sword a knife?

From my point of view, there is no difference between a knife and a sword.After seeing this, the doubts deepened. "

"..."

The old sword king stood up slowly.

Xun Wu cupped his fists and bowed respectfully again.

The old sword king turned around and looked at the weapon in its sheath hanging on the wall.

That one looks ordinary, no matter its appearance or accessories, they are all so ordinary.

This is named after Cangfeng Island, the old knife king's accessory knife - Cangfeng!

It... is not actually the so-called 【Famous Sword】.

Uh, yes, it's actually just a very ordinary, long knife.

Back then, when the old sword king first came out of the rivers and lakes, he was proud and arrogant, and it happened in troubled times, and the whole rivers and lakes were in chaos. When he wandered away from Jiang Hu, he rescued a blacksmith and took this most common iron from the blacksmith. As a reward, he set foot on the rivers and lakes.

He is confident that even with the most ordinary and ordinary long knife, he can still create a great reputation.

A man should not be famous for his weapon, on the contrary, he wants this knife to be passed down to the world because of him!

His heart is extremely high, his talent and martial arts are all top choices, and he has made a name for himself when he travels the world.

For many people, an idea that is enough to be called "arrogant" was in his hands, and within a few years, it became a reality.

Nowadays, people from various sects and records who have known Feng Daowang will mention him and his sword.

Many young people believed that Feng Dao Wang ruled the world, and the weapon in his hand would definitely not be bad.

But who would have known that it was really just the most ordinary long knife?

Even Zhang Bumo, by default, [Zang Feng] is a peerless famous sword.

"Swords and knives are nothing but weapons, they are all just weapons." The old sword king exuded an aura of looking down on the world, forcing Xun Wu to frown.

He lightly put his hands behind his back, and his hunched body began to stand up slowly, looking at the hidden sharp knife hanging on the wall, stretched out his right hand, gently spread his five fingers, and pointed at the knife: "Sword, Axes, clubs, these are just weapons.

A name is just a title we add to it. Without these titles, would everything in the world be nothing? "

He finished pointing at the knife, then pointed at the chair, only looking at the tea table, and said: "The so-called weapons, what you pay attention to, are only for killing. If the skill is strong enough, let alone a sword, the chair and the table are also sharp weapons that can kill people." .”

He turned his head, looked at Xun Wu, and said, "That's why I said, this old guy is reckless."

"Write so much, how can people who learn later understand it?"

Xun Wu immediately figured it out.

"I see...I see."

"Oh?" The old sword king looked at Xun Wu, quite surprised, "You really understand?"

"I understand... What the senior said is that whether it is a knife, a stick, or a stool, they are all [weapons], and since they are [weapons], they can naturally be called [swords].

I also understand why the senior said that this cheat book has been changed beyond recognition.

I think, at the beginning, this martial art should be extremely concise, all of which are pure theories and ideas, as long as one can understand and comprehend, then the rest can be learned slowly. "

The old sword king looked at Xun Wu, thinking deeply. After a while, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "You...are you kidding me? You already understood this truth, Right?"

Xun Wu didn't lie to him and nodded.

But to be honest, Xun Wu understands this truth, but it has nothing to do with "Sword Cutting Sword Art", it is purely based on the traveler's understanding of some impressions of "Martial Arts World", they just "know", but they don't understand the root cause.

Therefore, when Xun Wu seriously started to study "Sword Cutting Sword Technique", he would encounter many difficulties in actual objects.

This is not a contradiction.

Xun Wu knows these big theories, but he still can't change the difficult problem that Xun Wu just can't distinguish the details of swords and maces.

So when studying single-edged straight swords, Xun Wu would still feel a headache looking at the classification of those details.

But Sword King's explanation also awakened Xun Wu.

No matter what you do with so much, in short, you can study it thoroughly first, and treat it as a knife or a sword.

Xun Wu then cupped his hands again, and added: "Senior is right, but I think Master Chen also has his own considerations."

"Oh? How should I say it?" The old sword king said with great interest.

"Senior's martial arts book... I have benefited a lot from it." Xun Wu sighed softly as he looked at the secret book of sword-cutting and saber-cutting techniques.

This book of martial arts—this book of "learning" cannot increase Xun Wu's combat effectiveness, but it is extremely important for Xun Wu to understand the world, martial arts, and weapons. What's more, Xun Wu's current combat system, It is also entirely based on this knowledge.

"However, according to my opinion, for a skill, there must be depth and fineness." Xun Wu opened the cheat book, looked at the lines of words, and then said, "You can see that, Master Chen put a lot of thought into revising this kung fu.

He himself is called [Dongyue Sword Master], he is a world-renowned teacher, and what he is best at is teaching others.I can see that when the old man rewrote it, he wrote it very seriously, and the content was also detailed and appropriate, step by step. Even people who have never been exposed to swordsmanship and saber techniques can rely on this cheat book to start from scratch. , Completing the understanding of the sword bit by bit.

I think, Master Chen definitely didn't write nonsense, and he definitely didn't insult your martial arts. "

Listening to Xun Wu's words, the old sword king raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He naturally thought of what Xun Wu said, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed so happily before.

But - it's like the young people in Xunwu's world when they play competitive games. If they lose, they lose the blame for each other, and if they win, they take credit for themselves.

For the old sword king, even though this exercise is strong enough, it is still impossible for him to bluntly say that this cheat is strong enough.

Not only that, but he will belittle it.

"Hmph—" The old knife king sat down slowly, snorted coldly, and tapped his walking stick lightly, and the table cook at a table beside him was inspired by the internal energy and opened, revealing one of the secret books.

"Pick it up and have a look."

Xun Wu walked over, reached out to pick up the secret book, and saw the words on the secret book.

"Broken Sword".

...

Xun Wu thought to himself, these two seniors are really interesting.

Those who use swords will get a copy of "The Art of Cutting Swords and Swords", and those who use swords will take out a copy of "Broken Swords"?

"Since I said that he humiliated my kung fu, there is a reason for it—" The old sword king seemed to be much more energetic, and he was very happy, "There are only methods, but no techniques of execution, so what's the use?

I heard that you can wield both swords and swords, connect swords with swords, move sword intentions, and move sword moves, so you are also extremely talented if you think about it.

This "Broken Sword" is the art of severing sword energy, sword intent, and sword momentum...don't ask me where I got it, anyway, there are no disciples in my sect who are willing to learn swords, so you can learn it . "

Xun Wu was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest.

"Thank you senior."

And after talking freely about "Sword Cutting and Sword Art", the old sword king finally opened up his chatterbox and was willing to raise his spirits to chat with Xun Wu.

This difficulty is really not small.

Xun Wu's words are not low in healing skills, but after going around for several times, the old sword king even revealed his killing intent once. Fortunately, Xun Wu responded perfectly, which finally made the old sword king willing to say more Let's talk a little bit.

At this time, Xun Wu was finally able to ask the question that had troubled him for a long time.

"Senior, how was the competition between you and Sect Master Chen?"

"I've interviewed many people. Until today, I don't know the details. I'm really curious."

The smile on the old sword king's face dissipated.

But this time, there was no [killing intent].

Instead, it's...sentimental.

"Forget it, there is no need to hide it from the past, since you have inherited the secret of the sword, I will tell you."
