Chapter 153: The Style of the Knife
In the end, almost every step he took, the bones in his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and he kicked like a bull. Every step he took felt extremely hard. Several times, Xiao Chen even seemed to lie down and not run.
But from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the beautiful figure in the field, seeing the expression in her eyes, he couldn't help feeling a sense of arrogance in his heart, he must not fall down in front of her, it would be too embarrassing.
When the last lap was completely finished, Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, tried hard to suppress the urge to fall directly, took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began to enter the state of cultivation.
When a person is exhausted, when his body reaches its limit, he enters the state of cultivation, and he can best display his potential. Xiao Chen understood this truth before, but he has never been supervised by anyone, and he has never entered this state.
Given this opportunity at this moment, naturally there is no reason to give up, Zi Lei Jue is slowly operating in the body. When the vitality circulates in the body for a week, and finally penetrates into the skin, flesh and bones.
Xiao Chen felt an unprecedented relaxation. The body was extremely refreshed, and the sweat on the body slowly evaporated into white smoke.
Standing by the side, Liu Ruyue saw all this in her eyes, with a smile on her face, and a flash of reminiscence flashed in the depths of her eyes, as if she saw herself back then.
After a while, Xiao Chen slowly stopped the circulation of vitality in his body, opened his eyes, just saw Liu Ruyue's eyes, smiled lightly, and stood up.
Xiao Chen said lightly: "Sister Ruyue, you can teach now!"
Liu Ruyue smiled lightly, and said: "That's right, the saber technique you used just now should be the Benlei Saber technique. I also practiced this saber technique when I was young, but I gave up when it didn't suit my style."
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, Liu Ruyue also practiced the Thunderbolt Saber Technique? This makes people feel a little strange, didn't Feng Feixue say that the saber technique came from Qin Tian Academy?
Seeing the doubts in Xiao Chen's heart, Liu Ruyue explained: "Don't be too surprised, except for some inherited martial arts, most of the sword techniques in the world are collected in Tiandao Pavilion."
"I once gave up this sword technique because of the style. Now I would like to ask you, what do you think is the style of the Benlei sword technique? Do you think it suits you?"
What is the style of Ben Lei Saber? Xiao Chen has never thought about this question, let alone whether he is suitable for this kind of sword technique.
However, after practicing the saber technique for such a long time, Xiao Chen also realized something in his heart. What is the style of the Benlei saber technique? After thinking about it now, it is not difficult to answer: "Brave and fast, imposing, powerful, like a torrent like rivers,
After unfolding, it is endless and indomitable. "
Liu Ruyue nodded and said: "It seems that your understanding is not bad, but the words in front of you all describe the characteristics of the Ben Lei Saber technique, not the style."
"Style is the last sentence. Go forward and never retreat. Taking a step back is the difference between life and death. Put it to death and survive. Before you fight, you will drive yourself to a dead end. Do you think you are suitable for this style?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen thought of a thunderbolt in his mind, like enlightenment, some problems that he couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear.
In the past, I always felt that there was something missing in my understanding of the Benlei Saber Technique.
Today I finally understand what I lack, what I lack is that kind of determination, that monstrous determination, even if I die, I will never back down.
But is this style really suitable for you?
Xiao Chen couldn't help thinking about this question. After a while, a resolute look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Thinking of the past, he said seriously: "I figured it out. I am suitable for this style. Insufficient, and I will never give up in the future.”
Liu Ruyue said with a faint smile: "I don't think you are suitable. When I was fighting with me just now, you actually asked me to let you make a move. I wanted to be opportunistic. That is definitely not the style of Ben Lei Dao."
Xiao Chen asked in bewilderment: "But my saber moves have been broken by you. How can you tell me not to retreat? This is simply impossible. If I face an opponent who is evenly matched or whose level is not much different, I Definitely not going back."
"You are really stubborn. The power I used just now is definitely not beyond the realm of a great martial artist. If you don't believe me, you can try it again." Liu Ruyue's pretty face was full of smiles, and she looked eager to try.
Xiao Chen recalled what happened just now, and smiled embarrassingly: "It's better not to, I believe it is."
Liu Ruyue said with a bit of regret: "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. It's a little early to tell you these things, and it's normal if you don't understand. You should practice first. Let me have a look at the eight basic sword techniques. !"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Chen's face, "I don't seem to have learned basic sword skills. When I was a child, I was only required to learn basic palm and boxing skills. The basic skills of swords were optional. I didn't think about practicing swords at that time, so No practice."
When he was young, Xiao Chen couldn't condense his martial soul, and put all his thoughts on it, and didn't have the time to practice any basic sword skills.
Later, after Xiao Chen successfully condensed his martial soul, because what he had learned was too complicated, he didn't take the basic sword skills seriously, so although he didn't dare to slack off when he was practicing, he really didn't practice the basic sword skills.
Liu Ruyue felt dizzy for a while, "Sui Feng, die for me."
Liu Suifeng, who was practicing saber at the side, stopped what he was doing, hurried over and asked, "Old sister, what's the matter!"
"Being defeated by this guy, you come and teach him the eight strokes of the knife. I will give you a day, and I will check it tomorrow." Liu Ruyue rubbed her head, feeling a little headache.
"I'll go first, come and see tomorrow, by the way, don't untie the iron block in his hand." After Liu Ruyue finished speaking, she left the place.
Liu Suifeng looked at Xiao Chen, and asked in disbelief, "Ye Chen, have you really never practiced basic sword skills?"
Xiao Chen asked back: "Is this important? I really haven't practiced before."
Liu Suifeng smiled wryly and said: "I really admire you. Fortunately, you didn't get admitted from the outer sect. Basic saber skills are the foundation of all saber skills. There have been regulations in Tiandao Pavilion, and basic saber skills have not been practiced to a small degree. , cannot learn any martial arts."
"So those of us, as well as those warriors who want to enter the Tiandao Pavilion, have to practice basic sword skills at least to a small level. Generally, they will practice to a moderate level. A few people will persist in practicing to a high level. For example, my sister is .”
Xiao Chen really didn't expect that basic sword skills are so important, so he couldn't help asking: "Then how far have you practiced your basic sword skills?"
Liu Suifeng smiled helplessly and said: "I don't have that perseverance. I just reached the stage of small success, so I didn't continue to practice. Not much to say, it's not too late for you to practice now."
Xiao Chen nodded, and said that he was about to take off the iron block in his hand, Liu Suifeng quickly stopped him when he saw this, Xiao Chen couldn't help saying: "Don't tell me, you are really embarrassing brother so much."
Liu Suifeng said seriously: "I'm really not embarrassing you. You can practice the thunderbolt sword technique to make the sound of thunder, which must prove that you have worked hard. Even in the history of Tiandao Pavilion, there are few people who can do it." do it."
"My elder sister is very optimistic about you, otherwise I wouldn't have pointed out some styles in the Ben Lei Saber Technique just now."
"The Benlei Saber Technique was once created by a sword emperor. Although it is only a mysterious high-level martial skill, it has unlimited potential. If you really want to go further, you must practice the basic sword skills to a great degree. There is really no shortcut to suffering.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen had no choice but to stop his movements, and Liu Suifeng began to explain and demonstrate the basic sword skills. There are only eight basic sword skills, sweeping, chopping, poking, cutting, sweeping, smashing, chopping, and thrusting, also known as the eight skills of the sword. Law.
Since it is a basic sword technique, it is naturally simple and easy to understand. Xiao Chen understood it after just reading it once. Then I started to practice by myself, because the 100-kilogram iron block was tied to my body, which made every movement extremely difficult.
Liu Suifeng kept shaking his head beside him, "Don't move your steps casually, and raise your arms a little bit, and don't stop when you retract the knife."
When Xiao Chen actually practiced, he found that there were many rules and regulations in it, and it was not ordinary. It was obviously eight simple movements, but they always made mistakes unconsciously.
The morning time passed slowly like this, during which Liu Suifeng kept pointing out corrections, and demonstrated by himself from time to time, without the slightest impatience, which moved Xiao Chen deeply.
"It's time to eat, Brother Suifeng and Brother Yechen." Xiaomeng's sweet voice came from the fighting arena, and Shaoyang and Xiaomeng walked towards them slowly with food in their hands.
Seeing this, Liu Suifeng said with a faint smile: "Come here first in the morning, don't listen to my elder sister, it took me two years of hard work to master the basic saber skills, one day It’s simply impossible to grasp.”
Xiao Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded his head to express his understanding, the Eight Techniques of Swords are the foundation of all swordsmanship in the world, the so-called ever-changing is inseparable from its original purpose.
Since Tiandao Pavilion stipulates that it must be learned in the state of Xiaocheng, it will naturally have its own reasons, and Xiao Chen still understands this point.
The lunch was made by Xiaomeng herself. She brought out two bowls of clear porridge and put them in front of Xiao Chen and Xiao Chen respectively. She was afraid that Xiao Chen would not understand and said: "This is the rule of Sister Ruyue. After a lot of exercise, you must Drink a bowl of porridge first, and Yun Yun's stomach can eat the staple food."
Xiao Chen smiled lightly when he heard the words, and thought in his heart, this woman's mind is still quite meticulous, according to the diet of the earth, there is such a saying.
thump!
At this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly jumped out of the soul blood jade in Xiao Chen's chest. After it came out, a pair of big watery eyes looked at Xiao Meng.
"What a cute little fox." A pleasant smile appeared on Xiaomeng's face.
Liu Suifeng glanced at the red jade pendant on Xiao Chen's chest, showing a strange color, and said, "Is this the soul blood jade?"
Xiao Chen nodded, he hadn't let the little guy out these days, just now after Xiao Bai asked about the smell of the food, he strongly demanded to come out.
The few people here, after Xiao Chen came into contact with them, were considered kind-hearted, so Xiao Chen didn't try to stop them anymore.
"Is there any more porridge? This little guy is hungry." Xiao Chen looked at Xiaomeng and said.
Xiaomeng smiled and nodded, took out a small bowl and filled it up, and handed it to Xiaobai. There was a cute smile on Xiao Bai's face, and his little head happily arched towards Xiao Meng, making Xiao Meng laugh softly.
