Chapter 110 Swordsmanship

Zhang Xiaohua walked towards the dining room with joy. This morning's harvest was huge, and it was also the most fulfilling and important morning since he practiced boxing.

Everything indicates a bright future, only the last east wind is missing.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohua's eyes. He was startled, and quickly stopped in his tracks. When he saw it clearly, he patted his heart with lingering fear, and said, "Old Yu, your lightness kung fu is so powerful that you won't be able to treat me like this." Show it off in front of your face, the ancients said it was good, people are scary, scary, so elusive, fortunately, my heart is very strong."

Boss Yu said with a straight face: "How is your messy boxing practice?"

Zhang Xiaohua was taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Old Yu, this is my privacy, how can you peep? If you want to see it, you can tell me. If you don't tell me, how will I know you want to see it? If you don't say so Just watch it secretly, but it hurts my heart, I will go to the owner of the villa and sue you."

Yu Lao curled his lips and said, "As for your erroneous moves, I don't even bother to look at them in front of me, and you even peep. I don't have that much time to spare."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "You didn't see it, how do you know I'm practicing boxing? You know it's a mess?"

Yu Lao said: "Just like you, you hide under the tree every day to practice boxing. Who can't see it? All I know is that you can't remember the whole set of boxing techniques, but I'm sorry to say you. You think I don't have ears?"

Zhang Xiaohua blushed a little, and wanted to tell Yu Lao about his progress, but whether he did it correctly and whether he could remember these punches tomorrow were still unknown, so he told himself in his heart: "I will bear it no?"

Then, he raised his head and asked Yu Lao: "Just think of me as exercising, and you have to encourage me, and discourage my enthusiasm for no reason? Come on, what is the matter with you? If you don't talk about it, the meal in the dining room will be eaten by Nie Xiao." Two they ate up."

Yu Laobai glanced at Zhang Xiaohua and said: "It's nothing, I just want to tell you, wait for me under the tree where you practice boxing at night, I have something to see you."

Zhang Xiaohua drooped her head and said, "Old Yu, I was defeated by you. If you don't tell me, I won't go at night? Do you need to tell me specifically?"

Yu Lao said as if he had succeeded in his cunning plan, "I told you specially, I want you to pay attention to it and prepare yourself mentally. Secondly, there is a dish this morning that is pork belly. It is said that it is delicious. Nie Xiaoer said that every You robbed him every time, but when he saw me just now, he asked me to tell you to go in a little later, and let you in after he finished eating, it is estimated that the time is about the same now, you can go."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Yu Lao's disrespect, and said viciously, "Yu Lao, you are ruthless."

After finishing speaking, he rushed to the dining room, as if a dog was chasing after him.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaohua waited under the tree as promised, and Yu Lao didn't say when he would come, so he practiced his own boxing without haste, and it was serious enough to be serious. When he finished playing intermittently, he listened Someone next to him cheered, and when he looked up, it was Yu Lao.

Yu Lao said approvingly: "Zhang Xiaohua, it seems that you are a little clever. These messy moves are actually practiced by you. They are similar to a set of real boxing moves. It seems that I have to look at them differently."

Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassingly: "Old Yu, I can't help it. You also said in the morning that I really can't remember the whole set of boxing skills, so I have to figure it out by myself. It's better than no boxing skills to practice."

Yu Lao nodded and said: "Your determination to go to Wu is really good. There are thousands of paths to success in this world. As long as you can find one and stick to it, even if there is no result, you will never regret it. One day , Looking back on the past, I can comfort myself with pride, I worked hard."

Zhang Xiaohua thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your guidance. I will work hard myself."

Yu Lao asked again: "Zhang Xiaohua, your boxing style seems to be intermittent, and you can't complete it in one go, just like you can't finish a sentence.

There is a pause in the middle. Although it is not necessary to pay attention to routines in the competition, the incoherent punching method will prevent your moves from practicing to the best effect. "

Zhang Xiaohua said with a wry smile: "Old Yu, I heard that the highest level of martial arts is that there is no move to win, and my intermittent moves may be evolving towards no move."

Yu Lao said with a smile: "I don't know about the realm of no move, it is the legendary realm, maybe only the top few in this world have it? Maybe it's just a legend."

Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to ask: "Old Yu, do you have a boxing manual? I want to see it, can you lend it to me?"

Yu Lao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Fist manual? Yes, why do you know how to read it? Impossible, aren't you illiterate?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Old Yu, you look down on people too much. I was illiterate before, but that doesn't mean I can't read now or in the future?"

Yu Lao thought for a while, and said: "By the way, when I went to your room last time, you were reading a book. It's not that you learned to read while recovering from your injuries."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Old Yu is wise."

Yu Lao said with a smile: "But boxing manuals are different from recognizing characters. Knowing how to read characters may not necessarily be able to understand boxing manuals."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Don't worry, Yu Lao, I have seen the boxing records in the Lotus Bodyguard Bureau. I should be able to understand them."

Yu Lao said: "Okay then, come to my room if you have time, and I will find boxing records for you."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Then thank you Yu Lao."

Immediately, he asked, "By the way, Mr. Yu, do you have anything to do with me tonight?"

Yu Lao looked at the full moon in the sky, and said in a nostalgic tone: "I didn't live in the rivers and lakes, fantasizing about the splendor of the rivers and lakes. Once I go deep into the rivers and lakes, time makes people old. Do you know, Zhang Xiaohua, there is a saying that 'people are alive' The rivers and lakes can't help themselves', only you step into this rivers and lakes, but whether you want to, the wind and waves of the rivers and lakes will blow you, and you have no choice but to drift with the current."

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled and said: "Old Yu, why are you telling me this, I haven't thought of entering this world yet."

Yu Lao looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said seriously: "Zhang Xiaohua, as long as you want to practice martial arts and learn boxing and martial arts, you will inevitably be contaminated by the world. You can't avoid this. Although you are still young, you seem to be You have already chosen this path, unless you give up martial arts now and focus on farming and plowing the land in this villa."

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "I practice martial arts just to protect my family. Although I am very envious of the blood in the world, it's still too early for my two brushes. By the way, you won't give it to me today." Let’s talk about this river and lake.”

Yu Lao said: "Don't worry, Zhang Xiaohua, I told you about the dangers of the Jianghu, just to let you know that if you insist on practicing martial arts, you must have the awareness to enter the Jianghu, and the most important thing to survive in the Jianghu It’s a life-saving means.”

Zhang Xiaohua is still puzzled.

Yu Lao sighed, and said: "Actually, after talking so much, I also have another idea to let you know the dangers of the world and dispel your idea of ​​practicing martial arts. You don't seem to really understand the serious injury of your right hand."

Zhang Xiaohua anxiously asked: "How serious is it, Mr. Yu, didn't the doctor say that you can still practice boxing?"

Yu Lao said: "The doctor didn't lie to you. It's okay to practice boxing, but in fact your right hand has been disabled, so it's impossible to really compete with others."

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and said, "What's going on? Mr. Yu, you must explain it to me."

So, Yu Lao told the truth about Zhang Xiaohua's injury.

Zhang Xiaohua's face was pale. He really didn't think too much about it. He thought that the bones would grow back and it wouldn't be any different from before. Now, after listening to Mr. Yu, he realized that things were far from being as simple as he thought. If one's own fists cannot effectively hit others, it is naturally useless, so what is the use of practicing boxing skills?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's expression changed, Yu Lao didn't continue to speak, and waited quietly for a while.

After Zhang Xiaohua calmed down a little, she asked again: "Then, do you still want to practice martial arts?"

Zhang Xiaohua still nodded, with firm eyes, and said: "Xiwu, why not? Didn't you just say that if you find your own way, you have to go all the way to the end. Even if there is no result, you won't regret it. My right hand is broken, but And the left hand, even with the left hand, I can still practice boxing well, and I can still protect my family."

Yu Lao looked as expected, and said: "You child, you are really the master who has gone all the way to the dark. I have two purposes for coming today, and I have already mentioned one. Since you don't want to give up martial arts, then I still have to I have a second suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

Zhang Xiaohua sucked her lips and said, "Of course I am, Mr. Yu, I know you are doing it for my own good."

Yu Lao said with relief: "It's good to know, but I don't know how you impress me, but you make me like you no matter what."

Immediately, he went on to say: "Actually, in the Jianghu, it is not only fists that can save lives. More people use weapons, such as swords, guns, swords, halberds and other eighteen kinds of weapons. Now that your fists are useless, you can still save lives." You can practice weapons."

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's right, Mr. Yu, you are really good, you all know that."

Yu Lao smiled wryly and said: "This is just common sense in the world. Only you, a child who has never seen the world, don't understand it. Don't admire me so much, it will make me feel ashamed."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I have no choice, I can only look up to you, but what kind of weapon do you think I should practice?"

Yu Lao said: "In fact, you can practice any weapon, as long as you can practice it well. Although there are sayings in the world, 'the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers', 'one hundred sticks, one thousand knives and ten thousand swords' and so on. Rumor has it that individuals have different aptitudes and opportunities, and they may not all practice one type of weapon. In the case of your right hand, it is best to practice staff."

Zhang Xiaohua frowned: "Stick method? I've never seen anyone practice it, Mr. Yu, where can I find someone to teach me?"

Yu Lao was overjoyed, and said: "With your qualifications and right hand, how could someone teach you how to stick? Don't even think about it?"

Zhang Xiaohua worried: "There is no one to teach such a simple stick technique, what's the use of you talking so much?"

Yu Lao waited for a while and said, "I don't know how to stick."

Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and said, "You don't even know how to stick, how can you teach me?"

Yu Lao said: "The martial arts of our sect will not be spread to the outside world without accepting apprentices."

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said: "Master is here, please accept my apprentice's respect."

After finishing speaking, you must kowtow and salute.

But was supported by Yu Lao with one arm, and said: "Pull it down, let me teach you with your qualifications, and don't drive me to death. Let me save it and let me live a few more years."

After Zhang Xiaohua stood firm, she continued, "Although I can't accept you as an apprentice, it just so happens that I also know a sword technique. I learned it by chance, so I might consider passing it on to you."

Zhang Xiaohua said with great joy: "Really, Yu Lao, you can teach me swordsmanship."

Yu Lao smiled and said: "This sword technique is not my master's secret, I naturally have the right to make decisions, and I can teach you."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Then, I would like to thank you for being old. Eh~, why only one move of swordsmanship? Can't you teach me a few more moves? Don't be too stingy with me."

Yu Lao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you lack the basics of the world, I have to enlighten you sometime. This sword method is different from boxing. Boxing is a complete set, including offensive and defensive recruitment. The whole series can strengthen the body, and even some boxing techniques are auxiliary methods for practicing internal skills, and most of the sword techniques are complete sets, which can be played from the beginning to the end like boxing techniques, but there is also a move, a move of the sword Law."

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled and said: "One move, how to do it? It can't be like the boxing technique I practiced, just put it in a pose."

Yu Lao explained: "In the competition between weapons, it is important to control the enemy with one move. If it takes a long time to distinguish the upper and lower with the sword, it is inferior. In the swordsmanship competition between masters, if you don't move, you have to move. Win or lose."

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and said, "Then Yu Lao's swordsmanship, which is only one move, is superior?"

Yu Lao smiled and said: "Whether it is superior or not depends on the person who uses the sword. If I use it, it will be a sword technique for killing people, and if you use it, it may be for people to watch."

However, Zhang Xiaohua still asked; "I don't understand why, it's just a sword move, how can I practice it?"

Yu Lao said: "Whether this sword technique is a set, or whether there are other moves, I don't know, I just practiced nineteen variations of one move at that time."

Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded, and said, "One move? Nineteen changes?"

Yu Lao smiled and said, "Yes, there are nineteen variations of this move, all of which are offensive moves. Presumably, there are other defensive changes or moves, but I don't know about it."

Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Then, Mr. Yu, I would like to ask, is there any difference between the sword technique and the boxing technique? That is, a sword technique usually contains several different changes."

Yu Lao nodded and said: "You are right, the usual swordsmanship is like this."

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua understand why she could understand boxing manuals but not sword manuals. It turns out that there are so many particularities in the moves of the two.

Thinking of learning more advanced swordsmanship, Zhang Xiaohua became more eager and said, "Old Yu, then you can teach me now."

Yu Lao said: "Tonight, I just want to tell you first. The specifics will be taught during the day. At night, you can't clearly see the subtle differences in the changes of sword moves, so it's not easy to learn."

Zhang Xiaohua said again: "Then, Yu Lao, can you let me experience the power of this sword move?"

Yu Lao pondered for a moment, then suddenly pulled out the long sword from the scabbard with one hand, and stabbed Zhang Xiaohua's throat at a mysterious angle. Although Zhang Xiaohua could feel the sword's momentum and direction, her body's reaction was not so fast. Before Zhang Xiaohua could make a move, the point of the sword was already on his jaw, Zhang Xiaohua ignored it, and punched the long sword, only to see that the long sword just retracted, changed its angle like lightning, and stopped on his chest in front of you.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the tip of the sword that stopped in front of his eyes, and felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. This kind of mysterious sword technique is really too powerful.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua hadn't moved, Mr. Yu put away the long sword and put it back into its sheath.

Said: "How? Zhang Xiaohua, is this a good move?"

Zhang Xiaohua said angrily: "Of course I can deal with a rookie like me, but I don't know how others are? How to be the captain."

Yu Lao said proudly: "In front of this sword technique, you and He Tianshu are the same."

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were full of stars, and she wanted to learn such a powerful thing as soon as possible, but Yu Lao was still not in a hurry, and said: "Since I promised you, I will come to you eagerly, and I will teach you the sword move. However, You have to promise me two things."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Please tell me, even if I wash your socks for ten years, I am willing."

Yu Lao said: "The first thing is, you must not tell others about the sword technique I taught you. Even if others know that you know this sword technique, they cannot say that I taught you the sword technique."

Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled, but she didn't ask any further questions, she just said: "That means, Captain He and my second brother can't talk about it either."

Yu Lao nodded.

Zhang Xiaohua said again: "Then, can this sword move be passed on to my second brother?"

Yu Lao thought for a while and said, "This sword move is too sharp. If it spreads widely, it will cause waves in the martial arts world. It's better not to spread it."

Zhang Xiaohua agreed.

Yu Lao went on to say: "The second thing is, if you use this sword technique, you will never return, and you will definitely see blood, which will hurt the peace of the world. I hope you will not use it lightly, until the moment when life is at stake. , and don’t use it, understand?”

Zhang Xiaohua was thoughtful, and when Yu Lao saw that he understood, he said, "You must understand now. This is a very powerful sword technique. I will teach you today just to save your life. I didn't think about it. Let you carry forward, I hope you can live up to my painstaking efforts, and the sword will not be stained with innocent blood."

Zhang Xiaohua saluted sincerely: "Old Yu, I understand your thoughts, and I will definitely remember what you said tonight, so that no one will be hurt."

Yu Lao said with a smile: "Actually, with your heart, I am also relieved. Seeing that you have devoted yourself to martial arts from morning to night after working hard. Although your aptitude is not good, you are not afraid of hardships and work tirelessly. It will be promising in the future. This sword move can be learned by you, and it can be regarded as a pearl without dust, but if you go to the rivers and lakes in the future, you still need to be more careful and don't be too impulsive, because what you see may not be true."

Zhang Xiaohua looked puzzled, seeing may not be true?
