The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 10 Swordsmanship
More than ten days have passed since the last school exam.One morning after class, Yue Buqun called Guan Yuan and came to a square.

"Yuan'er, all disciples of this school have to practice Qi for two years after entering the school. Now that your two-year period has come, I will officially start teaching you the Huashan Sword Art as a master today." Yue Buqun said.

"Thank you, Master." Guan Yuan was also looking forward to finally being able to formally learn the Huashan swordsmanship. This was one point closer to his dream of being a knight.

"After learning the swordsmanship of our school, you must not bully the weak and do evil. If you break the school rules, don't blame the teacher for cleaning up the house!" Yue Buqun said sharply.

Guan Yuan naturally nodded in agreement.

"Before the official start, I will give you a rehearsal as a teacher." After speaking, Yue Buqun entered the arena and showed it to his apprentice.

Yue Buqun has always been modest and elegant, with a dignified upright spirit, so that even though his swordsmanship is the ordinary Huashan swordsmanship, and his moves have not changed, he clearly has a strong personal style when he dances.In the light of the sword, Yue Buqun was graceful, like a gentleman, his swordsmanship was like a dragon flying from the sky, there was something strange in the center, very upright.

"White clouds come out of Xiu", "Phoenix comes to the ceremony", "Heavenly gentry hangs upside down", "White rainbow pierces the sun", "Green pine welcomes guests", "Golden geese cross the sky", "Boundless falling trees"... Yue Buqun made Huashan School Guan Yuan's basic swordsmanship was used one by one in order, Guan Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart beat.

"The basic skills of swordsmanship before, your big brother has already taught them, that is, chopping, stabbing, pointing, lifting, collapsing, and cutting. My Huashan swordsmanship is also developed on this basis. With this sect foundation." Yue Buqun said
"Master, I will now explain the 32 forms of Huashan swordsmanship to you one by one."

"Thank you Master."

Guan Yuan followed Yue Buqun, learning every move carefully.

Compared to Guan Yuan's talent for swordsmanship, which is blessed with the imprint of heart and mouth, and his amazing talent for practicing Qi, it seems a bit mediocre.

Before Yue Buqun taught Linghu Chong how to learn swordsmanship, before he explained much, Linghu Chong could practice well.It's as if the class teacher just asked the students to open the textbook, and the students have already understood the knowledge points before explaining them.

Guan Yuan doesn't have this kind of miraculous kendo talent, so he can only rely on his own good memory to memorize the movements and essentials of sword moves, and practice them over and over again.There are 32 moves in a set of Huashan swordsmanship, Guan Yuan memorized all of them within a day.

Yue Buqun also secretly felt at ease, thinking that even if Guan Yuan was a rare qi training genius, he couldn't be so abnormally good in every aspect.

He arranged for Linghu Chong to accompany Guan Yuan to practice sword every day, and acted as a guide.So every afternoon, an interesting scene appeared in the Yuntai Peak martial arts arena.

"Senior Brother, how did you switch from the sword in your right hand to the sword in your back?"

"This is simple, you do this first, then do this again, just turn around and you're done..." Linghu Chong demonstrated while explaining, making gestures.Just like Xueba when explaining math problems, he speaks very fast, Guan Yuan only feels that his ears and eyes can understand, but his brain has not kept up with the progress, and his hands have not learned.

"How can the feeling of autumn leaves without roots and falling with the wind in the move of Boundless Falling Tree be reflected in the sword move?"

"Uh, this? You go to this station, imagine? That's what I did, and the master also said that I practiced about the same."

Guan Yuan's face was speechless, how can people learn from this.Linghu Chong has an amazing talent in the way of swordsmanship, and his thoughts are clear. He often uses one move. As long as he has practiced it himself, he will naturally understand the subtlety of it.But he can't express it very well, as if he knows but doesn't know himself. In layman's terms, he knows, but he doesn't know that he knows.Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is more like subconscious swordsmanship, he can always use the right move at the right time and situation.Guan Yuan could never learn this kind of talent.

But Guan Yuan didn't complain about himself, he believed that hard work can make up for one's weakness.He rehearsed every detail of each style of sword move several times, then disassembled it and practiced it slowly.In a few months, Guan Yuan could also use a complete set of Huashan swordsmanship in a decent manner.

But Guan Yuan's method made his swordsmanship lack of agility and a little more rigid.He knew in his heart that this practice method was just a stopgap measure, so he began to observe Linghu Chong's sword practice, and combined with the description of each move, he began to understand the design concept behind the sword move.

For example, in the move of Baiyun Chuxiu, the sword move first draws a circle in front of the body, then uses the sword-cutting style to protect the upper plate, and finally takes a left empty step, using the middle or front end of the sword blade on the opposite side of the tiger's mouth to exert force, and lift the wrist upwards. Pull, the tip of the sword slid across the enemy's ribs.This move defends first and then attacks, the needle is hidden in the cotton.

Combined with the fact that Baiyun came out of the mountain itself described the scene where the clouds and mist bordered the rocks, Guan Yuan observed Linghu Chong repeatedly demonstrating this trick.Finally realized that hidden in this move, the Huashan School seniors want to express their ideas and intentions, which is to confuse the opponent when cutting the sword to defend, and then use the meaning of Huashan's strange mountains and rocks to make moves, and the clouds and mists in the mountains will come from nowhere Emerge, corresponding to the attack with the sword, should also be taken by surprise, attacking it by surprise.

After understanding in this way, Guan Yuan's Huashan swordsmanship practice suddenly opened up, and his progress was rapid.

Guan Yuan used this method to understand the intention of each move and style one by one, and two years later, Guan Yuan has already mastered Huashan swordsmanship thoroughly.

At the same time, Linghu Chong began to learn Xiyi Sword Technique and Yangwu Sword Technique, and Yue Lingshan finally started practicing Qi.

In the past two years, Linghu Chong has also gradually regained his confidence, knowing that his advantage lies in swordsmanship.If it hadn't been for Yue Buqun's mandatory request, he would have devoted all his time to practicing swordsmanship.Internal strength cultivation should be regarded as compulsory joint consumption, and entry into the country is natural.

On a certain day, it was time for Yue Buqun to test the school's students again.

Off the court, brothers Linghu Chong and Guan Yuan were trying out moves.

As soon as Linghu Chong picked up the long sword, his whole aura changed, and his previous sluggishness lost three points, as if the sharp sword had been drawn out of its sheath.He is almost 16 years old this year, with a handsome appearance and high martial arts skills. He is just a handsome man and a heroic young man.Yue Lingshan grew up with Linghu Chong since she was a child, and she seemed to be very close and adored.

Guan Yuan held the horizontal sword in his chest, and pinched a sword formula with his left hand, as if he was holding a pen and writing. This is the starting gesture used by the Huashan School when fighting with friends of the same way. Stance.

"Eldest brother, please enlighten me!"

The two fought together, you come and go.Since Guan Yuan had just finished learning Huashan Sword Art, the two of them saw each other's moves within the scope of Huashan Sword Art.

I saw Linghu Chong step forward, with a flick of his wrist, he swung his long sword.The sword light groaned softly, and the tip of the sword trembled, faintly covering several large acupoints on Guan Yuan's chest.

Guan Yuan did not back down, he made a backhand attack with Bai Hong Guan Ri, regardless of Linghu Chong's attack, the sword pointed directly at his vital point.

It is the sword intent of going straight forward and going straight after taking the move of Baihong Guansun.

Seeing this, Linghu Chong had no choice but to change his move, slipped sideways, and used Feng Laiyi, his best move, while Guan Yuan responded with Gu Bo Senshen.

The two disassembled dozens of tricks in the blink of an eye.

Linghu Chong had learned other sword techniques earlier and had rich experience. He had already taken the initiative in the arena, but if he only used Huashan Sword Technique to dismantle his moves, it would be really difficult to deal with Guan Yuan.

"Junior Brother, let's do it this way, all the Huashan swordsmanship is used, it can't break the move." After saying that, he jumped out of the battle circle.

Guan Yuan has improved his internal energy in Huashan in the past few years. In the competition between masters and disciples, he did not go all out with his internal energy, he only focused on the countermeasures, otherwise he does not know who will win.

In this way, the two stopped and stood off the court, waiting for Yue Buqun's comment.

Yue Buqun felt relieved to see that the two disciples had their own strengths and talents.After encouraging the two of them, he passed on two sets of swordsmanship to Guan Yuan, Qingfeng Thirteen Styles and Huifeng Wuliu Swordsmanship, all the way boxing, Poyuquan, let him go down and practice on his own.After grabbing Linghu Chong, he naturally went to supervise his internal strength training.

In this competition, Guan Yuan saw that his sword training routine had achieved initial results, so he persevered and rearranged his schedule.

Wake up early to practice moves,
Experience sword moves in the afternoon,

Practice Qi again at night, of course, practice twice.

In his free time, Guan Yuan visited the five peaks of Mount Hua, watched the sea of ​​clouds, enjoyed the sunset, and tried to empathize with the seniors of Mount Hua, so that he could better understand the true meaning of swordsmanship.

In this way, Guan Yuan started a fulfilling and busy life of martial arts training again, practicing hard every day.
