I add points to my martial arts in the real world

Chapter 57 Function
"Whoosh~"

The sword slashed through the air, but it failed because all the focus was no longer on the incense head, and the sword struck across the incense head.

Qian Dong's mind did not fluctuate at all. Although he was a little surprised, he was still mentally prepared. He raised his wrist again and slashed it down again.

"Whoosh~"

The sword cut through the air again. This time the sword cut off the head of the incense, but did not split the incense into two halves.

Light the incense again and continue.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

Qian Dong swung his sword for the whole afternoon. The more he swung the sword, the more wonderful he felt. There was a strange feeling. As the sword blade cut through the air, the feeling of splitting the air in half became more and more in his heart. clear.

"Whoosh~"

After splitting the sword this time, there was still a familiar sound in the air, which was quite obvious in the quiet and dim dark room.

But this time there was no subtle click of the incense head being chopped off, because now Qian Dong was familiar with the feeling of focusing on the sword. After an afternoon of training, he was able to accurately chop in that state. Fragrant.

Qian Dong came back to his senses from the feeling of the sword cutting through the air and looked at the incense burner.

Two light spots appeared in his sight, one on the left and one on the right diagonally on both sides of the incense burner.

"This is? Finished?"

Qian Dong came back to his senses and did not pay too much attention to the incense that was split into two parts. Instead, he closed his eyes and recalled what he felt when the sword was struck.

However, there was no special feeling. The sword was swung as usual. The sword cut through the air without any obstruction or feeling. He didn't even feel that it hit the head of the incense.

"call……"

Qian Dong stopped worrying, took a deep breath, lit another incense stick, and continued the boring and single action.

After practicing that day, until Aunt Qin called him to eat, he succeeded twice more.He knew that he had found the feeling and that success might not be far away.

All he could think about now was the feeling of a sword cutting through the air. While eating, he would even occasionally wave the chopsticks in his hand twice, which made Aunt Qin beside him both amused and distressed.

After eating, Qian Dong did not continue to practice swordsmanship in the darkroom. Instead, he set up a circle with bricks to practice Bagua in the yard. He held a large stone in his hand and practiced for a while. Basic Bagua skills.

Things like Kung Fu cannot be interrupted, and you cannot neglect Baguazhang just because you are practicing swordsmanship, otherwise it will easily cause Baguazhang to deteriorate.

Qian Dong went to bed early at night and after getting up the next day, Qian Dong practiced Baguazhang in the morning and split incense in the dark room in the morning.

After practicing all morning, I have been able to achieve one or two out of ten, which refers to splitting the incense in half without extinguishing the incense.

After succeeding once, everything else will fall into place. All it takes is a matter of time. And as time goes by, the progress is faster in the afternoon, and it can be done six to seven times out of ten.

At 07:30, Qian Dong dialed Mr. Gong's video.

"Xiaodong, how's it going? Did you succeed?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Gong was sitting on a chair by the river and asked Qian Dong with a smile. Next to him sat Gong Yan, who had long hair and a white dress.

"Well, Grandpa Gong, after practicing today and yesterday, I can now swing the sword to split the incense six or seven times out of ten times without extinguishing the incense." Qian Dong reported to Grandpa Gong with a smile.

"Well, good, good."

Mr. Gong nodded with appreciation on his face.

"Grandpa Gong, I don't mean anything else. I just feel that there is not much difference between splitting the incense and breaking it."

Qian Dong scratched his head and looked embarrassed. He looked at Mr. Gong in the video and asked, because he didn't know what the use of this was. Could he be able to practice sword energy in the future?Even with a golden finger, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

"Well, hahahaha, you can bear it, so it's a good thing you asked me now."

Mr. Gong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, I'm just a little curious."

Qian Dong was a little embarrassed. These are the young people today. If it were in the past, they would definitely practice whatever the master taught them. If they had any questions, they would not dare to ask. They could only keep it in their hearts and explore on their own.

“The reason why darkroom chopping is based on chopping the incense and keeping the fragrance alive instead of chopping off the incense head is very simple.

In the beginning, it was actually just set up to embarrass the disciples. "

Mr. Gong was as straightforward as ever, and he answered questions without any hesitation.

"Embarrassing disciple? Why do you do this?"

The person who asked the question was not Qian Dong, but Gong Yan who was on the side. He watched Qian Dong learn from the beginning and now he is somewhat successful. Although Qian Dong’s practice time is short, that’s because Qian Dong is extremely talented. It did not affect her judgment on the difficulty of this exercise. As a bystander, she felt that the standards for chopping incense in the darkroom were indeed harsh enough, so after hearing Mr. Gong's answer, she couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Well, the original purpose of Darkroom Splitting Incense is not only to train the eyesight, aiming and wrist strength, but the most important thing is to allow the practitioner to calm down and sharpen the practitioner's mind.

However, if you practice your accuracy and wrist strength, you will only be able to chop off the incense head eight or nine times out of ten times in three or two months at most. In this way, the purpose of training your mind will be lost.

Therefore, the standard was upgraded, and the incense needed to be cut in half but the incense should not be extinguished.

In this case, if an ordinary beginner wants to complete such a test, it will take at least two or three years. This will achieve the purpose of selecting apprentices. If you can't persist and give up halfway, then you will give up.

Later, people discovered that those who could split incense without extinguishing it would have significantly greater mastery and achievements in swordsmanship. Over time, this became an introduction to learning swordsmanship.

At that time, many people had no way to learn swordsmanship, so no matter how harsh the master's conditions were, they would find ways to complete it, so they were not afraid that no one would learn it. "

Mr. Gong talked about some of these things.

"Grandpa Gong, is that just like this?"

Qian Dong was a little disappointed. After successfully splitting the incense, he checked the panel, but there was no special prompt. He really hoped that Mr. Gong could tell him: "After practicing this, it will help to understand the sword energy. "

"Hahahaha, that's not all. I heard that practicing like this can help those sword masters with strong bodies reduce the resistance of swinging the sword, make the sword draw faster, swing the sword more swiftly, and the sword shadow can't be seen between the body and the enemy. The head has fallen."

Mr. Gong made a gesture of diving forward with his sword in hand.

"Oh, that."

Qian Dong's tone was a little excited, and his eyebrows began to rise. The scene on TV of two peerless masters passing each other and deciding life and death with one move appeared in his mind. Just thinking about it made his blood boil.
