The killer sister from the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 45 The Apprentice
Today, the winter solstice arrives.

The temperature dropped, and the cold wind came one after another.

Bai Xi stood at the door of the martial arts hall wearing a thin down jacket, looking up at the sky, where there were dark clouds.

"Master, it's cold outside, come in!" Li Zhiyang came out wearing a thin practice suit, still holding a sword in his hand.

"Go in!" Seeing that he was not wearing much clothes, Bai Xi worried that he would be cold.

There is at least a ten degree difference between the inside of the martial arts hall and the outside.

"It should snow tonight." Zhang Wanghe said firmly.

"It's almost raining." Xie Huimin retorted.

"It doesn't matter if it's raining or snowing, let's go back to spend time with the family earlier today." Bai Xi suddenly became sentimental.

Zhang Wang and the five people looked at each other, "Okay, Master."

"Master, what sword technique are we learning today?" Wang Mingzhe asked.

Bai Xi walked to the side, picked up a sword, and said, "I don't want to learn new sword skills today, let's compete."

"Ah? Master, we can't do it." Zhang Wanghe said incredulously.

"Look at the trick." Bai Xi didn't listen to him at all, and stabbed at Wang Mingzhe with her sword, her hand and the sword formed a straight line.

Before Wang Mingzhe could fully react, he took a few steps back, and Bai Xi continued to swing the sword, pulling his wrist upwards.

"Block, block the sword." Xie Huimin shouted anxiously from the side.

Only then did Wang Mingzhe react, and he used the blade to push the frame from bottom to top, blocking it for a while, but he didn't expect that Bai Xi would soon break it and stab him in the throat.

Wang Mingzhe wanted to block it again, but it was useless. After taking a few steps back, he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Wang Mingzhe yelled with his eyes closed, and the sword stopped on his Adam's apple.

His cry attracted everyone's attention, Bai Xi slowly withdrew his sword, looked at the anxious people beside him, and said solemnly: "Pull, take, lift, strike, strike, stab, point, collapse, stand, Stop and practice again."

After she put the sword back on the weapon rack, she turned her head and looked at the boys again, "Let's compete tomorrow." After finishing speaking, she walked out.

Zhang Wanghe helped Wang Mingzhe up, "Are you all right?"

Wang Mingzhe shook his head, "What happened to Master today?"

Zhang Wanghe shrugged and said, "I don't know, why couldn't you block Master's stabbing sword just now? You're so stupid."

"In front of Master, you think that oppressive feeling is very good, but you will worry about your life unconsciously." Wang Mingzhe said with lingering fear.

Li Xinning remembered Bai Xi's action just now, and waved it in front of them once, "It seems, probably so."

"Try to block it." Zhang Wanghe pushed Wang Mingzhe out and asked him to try again.

"En!" Wang Mingzhe used the blade to push the frame from bottom to top again, intending to block Li Xinning.

"No, it should be defended with the sword and blocking sword, not called blocking the sword, I remember the master said that the sword is to block the opponent's attack from the bottom up, and the forehead to block the sword is to block the opponent's attack from the back, Xin Ning, yes Is this so?" Xie Huimin thought about it, and finally saw that something was wrong with Wang Mingzhe's actions, and remembered what Bai Xi had said.

"But the master's move just now, should I block it with a sword or block it?" Wang Mingzhe didn't understand.

"It's just a matter of luck. Try both, or if they defend together, they will always be stopped?" Xie Huimin himself didn't quite understand.

After enjoying the wind outside for a while, Bai Xi stood at the door and watched these five people study her moves just now and how to deal with them, feeling a little relieved.

"I seem to be in a good mood today!" Lin Rui suddenly stood behind Bai Xi.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Xi asked indifferently.

"It's okay, I just miss you!!" Lin Rui didn't know when, his liking for Bai Xi became more and more natural, some sweet words came out of his mouth, and he didn't hide it at all.

"You have nothing to do?" Bai Xi asked.

"Well, very free." Lin Rui smiled.

Bai Xi raised his eyes, and said, "Recently, I learned a few fighting techniques in the book, can you practice with me?"

"Yes! I'm extremely happy!!" Lin Rui agreed without thinking, but he didn't know that this would be the beginning of his suffering.

Bai Xi walked to the center of the martial arts hall, where the floor mats are the thickest, and the two stood facing each other, "Stay farther away," Bai Xi said.

"Okay!" Lin Rui took three steps back.

"Take three steps back." Bai Xi looked at him and waved.

Lin Rui took three steps back obediently, "And then?"

"You step forward quickly, and punch me with your right fist." Bai Xi said.

"Ah? Don't do it, what if I hurt you?" Lin Rui worried.

"No." Bai Xi stood there and said to himself.

"Then I'm here!" Lin Rui said.

"Ok!"

"I'm really here!" Lin Rui confirmed again.

Bai Xi should not answer him this time.

"I'm really here!" Lin Rui repeated.

"Forget it, I'll find someone else." Bai Xi said impatiently.

"I'll come, I'll go now." Lin Rui was afraid that others would hurt her.

After he finished speaking, he punched Bai Xi with his right fist and ran towards Bai Xi. When he was almost close, Bai Xi nimbly moved a step, dodged his punch, and immediately raised his foot to shovel down Lin Rui's groin, Lin Rui's face wrinkled. , Feeling the pain, couldn't help but fell to the ground, Bai Xi looked at Lin Rui who was lying on the ground.

"Bai, Bai Xi, you kicked too hard, didn't you?" Lin Rui lay on the ground with tears in the corners of his eyes, it seemed that he was really in pain.

"Are you okay?" Bai Xi reached out and pulled him up.

When Lin Rui saw this little hand, the pain seemed to disappear in an instant, and he could still jump up and down when he stood up, just like a child.

"Does it hurt?" Bai Xi asked with concern.

"It hurts, look at my tears." Lin Rui pointed to the corner of his eyes.

"Are you still here?" Bai Xi asked.

"Ah? Come again? Can you stop kicking so hard and kick the hamstring? I'm afraid I can't stand it." Lin Rui felt aggrieved and helpless, but he didn't want to reject her.

"Not playing that position." Bai Xi said.

"That's good, come on, what to do." Lin Rui heaved a sigh of relief.

"You hit me on the head with your right fist." Bai Xi said.

"Ah? What should I do if I am stupid?" Lin Rui worried.

Bai Xi rolled his eyes.

"Okay, come on!" Lin Rui clenched his fist and punched Bai Xi.

Bai Xi flexibly bent his knees and squatted down, lowering his center of gravity. At the same time, he quickly stepped up with his left foot, leaned forward and lurked under Lin Rui's mouth with his head lowered, dodged to the left, and hit his stomach with a straight right fist.

Her punch killed half of Lin Rui's life. Lin Rui's eyes were wide open, his hands were covering his stomach, his face was pale and he couldn't speak for a long time, and he stood there motionless.

It seems that this is a really serious injury, Bai Xi used 100% of his strength in that punch.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Wu Junle came out of the office, and saw Li Wenxing at the front desk, dumbfounded.

"Bai Xi, I'm learning to fight." Li Wenxing said.

"Oh? So novel?" Wu Jun said with a smile.

"Well, it's very novel, but Lin Rui is miserable." Li Wenxing was worried for Lin Rui.

"Could Lin Rui be a sandbag?" Wu Junle asked.

Li Wenxing nodded, "Looking at him like that, I guess he won't be able to survive the third move."

Wu Junle walked over to Lin Rui, and patted him on the back lightly, "Can your stomach take it?"

"I can bear it, I can bear it, why, why, why can't I bear it." Lin Rui was already sweating profusely from the pain.

"Go to the side and take a rest, Bai Xi, I'll practice with you." Wu Jun said cheerfully.

"Brother Jun Le, I'm fine, I can continue." Lin Rui refused to rest no matter what.

"After practicing, I only learned these two tricks." Bai Xi said coldly.

"Then I'll teach you something new." Wu Jun said cheerfully.

Bai Xi hesitated for a while, and said: "No, thank you!" Then he walked towards the young men who were practicing swords.

"Brother Jun Le, you were rejected." Lin Rui had a distressed expression, but he couldn't help but taunt him.

"You, do you want to practice with me?" Wu Jun put his hands on Lin Rui's shoulders with a smile on his face.

"Ah, I'm going to the backyard to treat my injury, otherwise I won't be able to see the moon tonight." Lin Rui clutched his stomach, bent over and walked slowly to the backyard.

"With today's weather, you may not be able to see him tomorrow night." Wu Junle deliberately teased him.

"Brother Jun Le, you should rest on the sidelines." Lin Rui wanted to speak loudly, but he didn't have the strength, so he could only speak to himself.

Li Wenxing walked past Wu Junle with the document in his hand, "This is the information just sent from above, please take a look at it, and Lingzi's deadline is only two days left, and there may be some action."

Wu Junle looked at the document and frowned, with a solemn expression, and said, "It's broken." After giving the document to Li Wenxing, he walked back to the office.

Li Wenxing took the document and followed him to his office, "Are you angry with this document?"

"I cannot accept the unreasonable conditions above." Wu Junle put his hands on his waist.

"It's just Zhang Baixi, what about it?" Li Wenxing said.

Wu Junle looked at Li Wenxing angrily, "I broke the document." He sat on the chair with his back to her.

Li Wenxing was not at all dissatisfied with his reaction, although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything.

Bai Xi leaned against the window, still looking at her five lovers. Although they were about the same age, she felt that she was older than them. In fact, she was much older. After all, she was over 500 years old.

"Master, why is the corner of your mouth slightly raised when you look at us? Do you think we are outstanding." Zhang Wanghe said to himself.

"I think it is!" Xie Huimin echoed beside him.

"Did you practice what you just said?" Bai Xi asked.

Zhang Wanghe and Xie Huimin looked at each other, shaking their heads together, "I forgot, I have been studying the moves you just made."

Bai Xi sighed, she clearly knew that she had seen it just now, so she insisted on asking.

"Give me the sword." She asked Zhang Wanghe to give her the sword.

Holding the sword, she happened to be facing Wang Mingzhe again.

"Master, it can't be me again?" Wang Mingzhe wanted to cry but had no tears.

Bai Xi smiled lightly, but didn't speak.

"There are two kinds of stabbing swords: vertical stabbing and flat stabbing. When holding the sword, the tiger's mouth is upward, and the blade is facing up and down, which is called vertical stabbing. Stretch, the strength reaches the tip of the sword." Bai Xi said while demonstrating the movements for them, "According to the direction and grip of the stabbing sword, it can be divided into front stabbing sword, rear stabbing sword, upper stabbing sword, lower stabbing sword, Back-stabbing swords, leaning-in stabbing swords, etc., the swordsmanship is more flexible, it all depends on your own grip, as long as it is comfortable and smooth."

Wang Mingzhe immediately imitated her movements, practiced them, and asked doubtfully: "Master, this hand movement is easy to understand, but is this foot standing all the time?"

Bai Xi once again demonstrates the standing action just now plus the foot movement, "First, the right foot is in front, and the two feet stand in a wrong step, holding the sword in the right hand and stopping at the side of the body, just like me now, the blade is horizontal, and the tip of the sword is facing forward , the left sword finger also hangs down on the side of the body, the second right hand holds the sword and stabs forward through the waist, the height is shoulder level, the arm is in line with the sword, and the left sword finger is attached to the right wrist."

Xie Huimin and Li Zhiyang watched the movements of Bai Xi's feet closely, but because they were too fast, they simply forgot while watching.

"Master, it's too fast, can you slow down?" Li Zhiyang said.

Bai Xi returned the sword to Zhang Wanghe, "Come on!" She completely ignored Li Zhiyang's request.

"Do you remember?" Li Zhiyang asked.

Xie Huimin and Wang Mingzhe shook their heads at the same time, Li Xinning said: "I probably remember something, you guys watch my demonstration and see if it's right."

Li Xinning said it just like Bai Xi did just now, "Stand with your feet out of place, and then, then hold the sword in your right hand and stop at your side."

"Is that the left side or the right side?" Zhang Wanghe was confused.

"Nonsense, it must be the right side, the right hand holds the sword." Xie Huimin said.

"Don't interrupt, Xinning, you continue." Li Zhiyang said.

"After stopping at the side of the body, it seems to be placed at the same level as the sword body, with the tip of the sword forward, and then, and then" Li Xinning stayed there, trying to remember, the other four people couldn't interrupt, so they could only talk quietly Looking at him, the only thing she can rely on now is him.

"Then, the fingers of the left hand are erected, also perpendicular to the side of the body, yes, that's it, the right hand holding the sword, forehead, stabs forward, I poke, stabs out, and then, at the same height as the shoulder, the sword and the shoulder Form a straight line, and put the fingers of the left hand on the right wrist, isn't it, isn't it like this?" Li Xinning finished all the movements and was so excited.

"It seems to be oh, Xinning, it's amazing, the stabbing just now, it was so handsome." Zhang Wanghe looked elated.

Bai Xi watched from the side as they seriously discussed sword techniques, and the joy in his heart was shown on his face.

"Come, come, Xinning will demonstrate again, and we will follow suit." Wang Mingzhe couldn't wait to learn.

The other people in the museum looked at the noise of these five people, and envied them a little. The training was not tiring, as if they were playing, and they could happily discuss and research together.

When Bai Xi was about to go up and teach them to combine the movements just now, a hammer suddenly flew towards her from outside. Bai Xi grabbed the hammer quickly and ran out of the martial arts hall.

It turned out to be Lingzi, and she retreated to the bottom of the stairs, "Tonight, I will take Qin Yiguan's life." She left the harsh words and ran away.

Bai Xi didn't catch up, but held the hammer tightly in his hand, looking thoughtfully at her receding back.

In a moment, she walked in with a hammer and placed it on the foreground.

"Where did you find the hammer?" Li Wenxing asked curiously.

"I picked it up at the door." Bai Xi said.

Li Wenxing picked up the hammer strangely to check, "Are you sure you picked it up at the door?"

"Yes." Bai Xi told her with certainty, and then walked to the backyard.

Li Wenxing looked at her suspiciously, and took a hammer into Wu Junle's office.

Lin Rui lay on the stone table behind, and Bai Xi sat down beside him.

"Brother Jun Le, help me fetch a glass of water, thank you." Lin Rui didn't look up, confidently thinking it was Wu Jun Le.

Bai Xi then walked into the room and fetched him a glass of warm water, "Thank you."

"Are you okay?" Bai Xi asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui raised his head immediately, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "It's nothing, what can I do?"

Bai Xi could see that he was struggling, "Go back."

"Huh? Where do you go?" Lin Rui asked.

"Home." Bai Xi said coldly.

Lin Rui looked at his phone, "It's still early."

"Go back." Bai Xi said in an orderly tone.

Lin Rui looked at her suspiciously, but he didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll clean up now." He stood up while supporting the stone table, went into the room, and changed his clothes.

Bai Xi was waiting outside.
