Wandao long distance

Chapter 96 Art and Dao

Among the caravan camps of Jingjia Trading Company.

A message spread like wildfire.

"What? That tiger lady bet with someone? Is it the new young hero?"

"Huh? Anyone else dare to argue with that tiger lady? Oh, she is also a master of the ranks, right? It's a good show."

"Have you heard? It seems that the woman's sword has been cut off. It is said that her swordsmanship that she is proud of is no more than Xiao Shuer. It makes that tiger woman so angry that she will die!"

However, unlike Li Qi's expectation, the scene where he would be isolated by the entire caravan because he offended the original guards was different. Everyone in the Jingjia Firm seemed to be gloating about their misfortune, and even ran over to Li Qi Come on.

He suddenly changed from a guard hired by the shopkeeper who didn't know anyone to a hero of everyone.

He even fancied hearing someone shouting: "Don't lose! Big brother with a long knife!"

Damn, how unpopular is Jingyan usually?

But judging by her stubborn attitude towards swordsmanship, I guess she is usually very arrogant. Even shopkeeper Jing described her like this when introducing her: "My mother died early, and her father was strict, which led to her withdrawn personality. Apart from practicing martial arts, she has almost no Other hobbies."

Fortunately, although she was withdrawn, she was not unreasonable, so in order to prove her cherished swordsmanship, she agreed to Li Qi's bet.

What's the bet?
This was the situation at the time.

"Bet? What are you betting on?" Jing Yan stopped and looked at Li Qi suspiciously.

"I've already said that it's not that my little sister has no cultivation, she's just not good at fighting, but her cultivation path is extremely good at spotting weaknesses and flaws. Why don't you change your sword and practice your swordsmanship... the way of swordsmanship Show it to my little sister, I will go back one night, try it tomorrow, I will break it, so that I can verify whether my little sister is uttering wild words, what does Sister Jing think?"

"If I lose, then I will definitely ask him to make amends and apologize to Eldest Sister Jing. Eldest Sister will have a lot of adults. If I impose a small punishment, it will be regarded as educating the child so that she will no longer dare to speak wild words in the future."

"If I win, it will prove that my little sister's words are true. I don't ask for an apology, and I will give away the weaknesses I have seen through with both hands, so as to help my sister's martial arts to a higher level. What do you think?"

Li Qi's words were clear and orderly, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Jing Yangao take a look.

So, instead of refusing, she asked instead: "Are you using a knife or a fist?"

"Where can the physical body block weapons? Of course it is a knife." Li Qi replied.

"Your sword skills are far worse than your boxing skills." Jing Yan said with a hint of sarcasm.

Li Qi had no choice but to smile.

That can't be helped, he doesn't know how to use swords in the first place, even Li Liuyi, he only has training methods, not fighting methods, and he doesn't know how to practice the matching weapons.

It's not that Shen Shuibi is hiding something private, but because she doesn't know how to do it either.

For this kind of thing that is used as a table foot in Luofu Mountain, she knows how to practice it, and it is already very free, how to play?do you need?

She is a dignified fifth-rank, but can she still use the eighth-rank kung fu?
Therefore, Li Xun's style of play is still wave-strength, relying on the progress bar and Heliuyi's instant explosive ability, and abruptly relying on interrupting the opponent's movements, so that he can be praised as "good fisting skills".

Knife skills...

Let's put it this way, when Li used the knife, he would keep tapping when he saw other people's progress bars.

To him, this long knife is probably equivalent to a hatchet after being enchanted with sharpness. It can add some attack power at critical moments, and it is usually a burning stick and walking stick.

As for why you keep holding it in your hand?
Of course it's for pretending.

By the way, mislead others, let others think that he used a knife, and then untie the willow branch at a critical moment to whip someone, and keep it effective once it is kept.

However, helpless, Li Qi still clasped his hands and replied: "Of course it is better to use a sword, if my clumsy sword technique can defeat the elder sister's swordsmanship, wouldn't it be more proof that what my little sister said is true? "

"Okay! Then I will rehearse it for you! Let your little sister watch it! If you lose, I want her to kneel down and apologize!" Jingyan said arrogantly, and then asked someone to take an ordinary long sword and practice Start your own swordsmanship.

Shen Shuibi listened to the whole conversation beside her, and knew what her responsibilities were. Besides, this matter happened because of her, so she was naturally very serious, so she read it carefully.

To be honest, Li Qi has never seen a rabbit so serious.

That was the situation at the time. After the bet was made, it was impossible for the caravan to be delayed because of this, so they set off that night.

Li Qi still took some time to take a last look at the old horse, and found that he had eaten his fill and slept well. He was lazy and comfortable. He ate fruit in the morning, grain at noon, forage and beans in the afternoon, and different suppers in the evening.

Li Qi also gave him a thousand dollars, because he ate too much, and the prepaid money was not enough.

Forget it, let him fatten up, that's fine.

After taking care of this matter, he hurried back, set off with the caravan, and started communicating with Shen Shuibi in the bullock cart.

After all, they are ninth-rank masters, so they specially gave Li Qi and Shen Shui Biteng an ox cart.

It can't be said that they are special, there are still some goods on the ox cart, but unlike other people who live in crowded places, their ox cart is much looser.

"Tomorrow, I will let you defeat that big talker!" Shen Shuibi said viciously, waving her small fists with her face full of resentment.

She said it was vicious, but she actually looked cute. After all, she didn't have any killing intent or hatred expression at all. It was like a child who had been wronged and was holding her breath.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely ask her to apologize to you! But, what did you see today?" Li Qi asked.

"It's all flaws, it's all weaknesses! There's nothing to recommend, and you dare to say that you are the way of the sword... the sword is worthy of praise?" Speaking of this, Shen Shuibi became even more angry.

"It's just a man-made utensil. Even if there are many people who make swords, you dare to call it Dao? Xiao Shuer!" Shen Shuibi said very unhappy: "Dao must have a representative idea, a complete system of thought, and the ability to realize oneself." The method of thought and goal, has its own unique analytical theory for heaven and earth, all things, and sentient beings, and this can be called the Tao!"

"How dare you say anything! Really, I'm so mad!" Shen Shuibi even jumped, it was the first time Li Qi saw her so angry.

It's even more annoying than licking your own rabbit ears.

It seems that some people despise "Tao", which really makes her dissatisfied.

But...that's true.

In Li Qi's understanding, "Tao" is a rule, the law of the operation of heaven and earth.

Things like swords are nothing but man-made weapons. The ability to use a sword to break through the sky is called swordsmanship, and trying to call it the way of the sword is an insult to the word "Tao".
