The courtyard of the mansion was used as a martial arts performance ground. According to Lu Xuan's rules, he tried to learn the martial arts of six martial arts masters one by one, and he would pick the three who he felt were the best.
"Lu Dutong is a natural martial artist. He is strong and powerful. The most important thing about this sword technique is strength and momentum. I think Dutong will definitely achieve something by learning the sword. Dutong has never learned it before?" Responsible. The martial artist who taught swordsmanship saw Lu Xuan performing the movements he taught and praised him sincerely.
This is not contrary to his words. The sword skills he taught were very simple and were the entry-level sword skills trained in the military. However, it would take at least three days for ordinary soldiers to practice them to a decent level. However, Lu Xuan just looked at it once and then I can practice it without feeling like a novice.
"I have used it, but no one taught me. I figured it out by myself." Lu Xuan handed the thick Ghost Head Sword back to the martial artist and shook his head.
He had fought nearly a hundred times and had no one to teach him, so he could only figure it out on his own, and combined with his combat experience, he learned some tips on how to use a knife.
"Knife skills are easy to learn and difficult to master, but if you have such momentum without anyone to teach you, you are very suitable for using swords." The martial artist smiled.
The boxer on the side couldn't help but said: "But Du Tong is also very talented in wrestling. He is strong and quick in reaction. His body can be strong or soft, his veins are smooth, and his wingspan is far beyond that of ordinary people. He has no problem in close combat. "
The martial artist who was good at using bows and arrows also nodded and said: "Du Tong's eyesight and physical strength are amazing. If you practice archery, given time, your archery skills will definitely be amazing."
The sword and shield martial artist didn't say anything. What he was best at was actually the shield technique. The sword was just an auxiliary, a bit like a tortoise shell. He knew in his heart that he was most likely to be disliked.
Except for Gu Xuanwu, Lu Xuan tried on all the other five people's things. He did not express his opinion, but looked at Gu Xuanwu.
During this time, Gu Xuanwu had asked Lu Xuan's personal guards to build a shelf with countless wooden sticks hung on it with ropes.
Seeing General Lu Xuan's gaze, Gu Xuanwu muttered: "Dutong's martial arts talent is indeed the only one I have seen in my life, but what Dutong wants is quick learning, right?"
"How can such martial arts be achieved quickly?" Lu Xuan shook his head.
"Maybe not if it's others, but not necessarily if everyone is unified." Gu Xuanwu said thoughtfully.
"Oh?" Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes, looked at Gu Xuanwu and said, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
The moment the other party spoke, Lu Xuan felt that he had encountered a scam. No matter what he did, he could not rush for success. This was Lu Xuan's belief all along, so even if he knew that time was tight, he never thought that he could learn quick results. Martial arts.
There are only two possibilities for instant martial arts, one is that it doesn't exist at all and the other party is lying to you, and the other is something like the sword technique to ward off evil spirits.
Gu Xuanwu said: "Everyone has already said that they all have rich practical experience."
He was also watching Lu Xuan learn martial arts just now. His moves may not be standard, but the ferocity and ferocious momentum shown in his movements may not even be found in a ten-year veteran.
Lu Xuan nodded: "There is no way. These days, if you don't want to die, you have to let others die. This is especially true on the battlefield. People who crawl out from the pile of dead people, don't know if this counts as experience?"
"Of course it counts." Gu Xuanwu nodded and said: "The so-called martial arts are killing techniques. When ordinary people practice martial arts, they practice skills first and then practice strikes. No matter how many times they practice, if the last blow cannot be delivered, then It can't be counted, but Dutong is different. Although Dutong has not had any practice, he has been tempered countless times on the verge of life and death. Although those combat experiences may not be standard, in fact, Dutong has already achieved good results. The martial arts abilities are just not integrated yet.”
"What the commander-in-chief has to do now is to integrate these things. In addition, he needs to understand some basic things and then use them." Gu Xuanwu looked at Lu Xuan and said: "The commander-in-chief said that he can quickly learn marksmanship. I really don't have this ability, but if It's not difficult to use a gun quickly, given Dutong's talent, would you like to give it a try, Dutong?"
Lu Xuan nodded: "What kind of trial method?"
"I will practice the basics of spear skills first, and then we will all go to this formation to try it." Gu Xuanwu pointed at the set up shelf.
"Is this a formation?" Lu Xuan looked at the wooden sticks and asked curiously.
"Not really. If the battle formations in the army are executed by elites, they can be connected with each other and exert an effect similar to real formations. But this wooden formation can probably demonstrate some situations on the battlefield." Gu Xuanwu Shaking his head, this naturally cannot be counted as a formation, but it is enough.
"Please!" Lu Xuan is not unfamiliar with this. He has seen many action movies and TV shows in his previous life.
"Okay!" Gu Xuanwu kicked a long gun and said in a deep voice: "No matter swords, guns or clubs, all weapons are extensions of the body. This is most directly reflected in guns. The most damaging thing about guns is the stab. The power is at the tip of the gun, but the source is at the end of the gun, so how to hold the gun is the key..."
Gu Xuanwu sternly explained the essentials of holding and drawing the gun while showing it to Lu Xuan. Although it was not amazing, it was quite smooth, and murderous intent overflowed between the moves.
There is not much basics in spear skills. Even if there are thousands of changes, it is inseparable from these. Gu Xuanwu explained it unhappily, but it didn't last long. When everyone was performing martial arts for Lu Xuan just now, Lu Xuan's He has seen the amazing understanding and imitation ability, and he is not afraid that Lu Xuan will not be able to keep up.
"Now, Dutong can enter the formation and give it a try. There are sixty-four wooden stakes hanging here. Dutong uses the shortest time to stab each wooden stake with a shot. It must be pierced. Remember, other moves can be used, but You cannot deliberately damage the wooden stakes." Gu Xuanwu handed the spear to Lu Xuan with both hands.
Lu Xuan recalled Gu Xuanwu's movements. He did not immediately enter the wooden stake array, but practiced the movements several times. At first, he was still a little jerky, but by the second time, he already had some posture.
"In the past, people always talked about talent, and I sneered at it. Now it seems that there may really be people in this world who are fed by God." Several martial arts masters looked at Lu Xuan's appearance and sighed sincerely.
"Fights on the edge of death again and again, crawling out of the dead countless times, just screening again and again. Maybe he is really talented, but what stimulated his talent to this extent is countless corpses!" Gu Xuanwu said with a hint of emotion. Somewhat emotional.
The talent Lu Xuan displayed was inspired by countless experiences of climbing out of the dead. He was different from others. He climbed up from the bottom using blood and life as a ladder. That was the cruelest elimination. Survive Of course he is a genius, because even if he is even one point short, he will not be alive today.
Among the piles of bones at Lu Xuan's feet, how could he know that there was no genius? But so what if he is a genius? How is a genius who has not truly grown up different from a mediocre person?
As he spoke, Lu Xuan had already entered the battle. He shot first and penetrated a wooden stake. With the blessing of his true energy, it was too easy for him to do this.
But the pierced wooden stake rippled with the force of Lu Xuan's drawing of the gun, and the wooden stakes around the impact began to move. It became difficult for Lu Xuan to pierce the wooden stake again.
Of course he could wait for all the stakes to stop before taking another shot, but what's the point?
There may be rapid progress in other paths, but there is no such thing as learning this path. If you deceive others on this path, you will only deceive yourself in the end. Therefore, Lu Xuan did not hesitate and quickly took out the second shot.
He missed, and as he moved, the wooden stakes shook more and more. A wooden stake hit this side, and Lu Xuan subconsciously used the barrel of his gun to block it, attracting more wooden stakes.
The wooden piles in the wooden pile array were getting more and more chaotic, and Lu Xuan was constantly moving around.
"Not to mention those who haven't practiced, even ordinary martial arts masters will have a hard time entering this level, right?" The boxer said with emotion, the question asked by Gu Xuanwu was a bit tricky.
"Take a good look, this person's talent..." Gu Xuanwu watched Lu Xuan's every move carefully, and finally sighed: "Not to mention talent, this character alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Everyone looked around after hearing the words, only to see Lu Xuan calmly stabbing out one shot after another in the formation. Although he may not be able to hit, they can feel that every shot is prepared, and Lu Xuan is trying his best to control his strength and try his best. Reduce the shaking of the wooden pile.
At first, the wooden stakes in the formation were moving quite violently, but as time went by, they began to stabilize, and Lu Xuan's shooting speed became faster and faster. He was able to avoid most of the wooden stakes in the formation by moving around. .
The rapid improvement of his skills came second. What really amazed Gu Xuanwu was Lu Xuan's calm mentality at all times during the battle, as well as his keen insight and adaptability to the battle situation. This was the most terrifying thing.
This kind of person is almost born to fight.
Lu Xuan felt very strange, the world seemed to be quiet, and he seemed to be able to predict the movement trajectories of all the wooden stakes around him. He had been in a similar state before, but not as clearly as now.
Is it because I have another brain?
Lu Xuan didn't know that strictly speaking, the brain of the cat clone was a computer composed of formations. If that was the reason, would he be considered cheating?
It shouldn't count, the cat clone is also a part of my body.
Before he knew it, he had walked out of the formation, leaving a hole in every wooden stake. Lu Xuan also woke up from that state.
"Is this the quick fix that senior said?" Lu Xuan looked at Gu Xuanwu and asked.
"Yes, the Tutong is different from others. The method of supporting war through war is more suitable for the Dutong." Gu Xuanwu nodded.
"Has the capital made a decision?" Everyone looked at Lu Xuan with a little desire. Lu Xuan would most likely choose Gu Xuanwu. Everyone knew this. In terms of qualifications and strength, Gu Xuanwu was the strongest, but the other two There is a quota, they still have a chance.
"Senior's eyes are like a torch. Which weapon do you think I am suitable for?" Lu Xuan did not answer, but looked at Gu Xuanwu.
"How do you feel, just now?" Gu Xuanwu asked.
"It's very good, but it also feels like there is no way to use it. Most of the strength is held back, which is not as good as the knife." Lu Xuan recalled.
Gu Xuanwu nodded: "Sword skills are powerful, but spear moves are light. Lu Dutong's natural physical strength is amazing. I don't know if this is because of his advanced cultivation. If Dutong's natural strength is strong, neither the sword nor the spear will be able to use it." Unlock your full potential."
"Senior, what kind of weapon do you think is suitable for me?" Lu Xuan looked at Gu Xuanwu and said.
"halberd!"
"Jerber?" Several characters appeared in Lu Xuan's mind instantly, all of whom were the top military commanders of his generation.
"Yes, Dutong is naturally powerful and powerful, and is most suitable for weapons such as knives, sticks, and hammers. But at the same time, Dutong does not just rely on strength to win. He is also good at agility. His halberd can be used as a gun or as a gun. When it comes to swordsmanship, it is actually the most suitable weapon for the ruler." Gu Xuanwu nodded.
"But this thing is difficult to practice, isn't it?" Lu Xuan looked at Gu Xuanwu and said.
I don’t know about the history, but in various interpretations of unofficial history, there are many people who use halberds, but not many are famous. But as long as they become famous, even if they are not the best in the world, they will be the first-tier warriors.
"Swords and guns are just the basics. Looking at ancient and modern times, it is indeed rare to be able to use a halberd to its peak. However, with Tong's talent, it would be a pity not to use the halberd." Gu Xuanwu said sincerely.
"Senior, can you master this method?"
"I'm ashamed, I'm so stupid. All my skills are inferior to this spear."
Lu Xuan nodded: "Let's learn swords and guns first, and we'll talk about the halberd later."
"That's fine." Gu Xuanwu agreed.
The sword martial artist's eyes lit up when he heard this, which meant that he had passed.
"Besides, I want to learn archery. As for the other three..." Lu Xuan looked at the other three and said, "Lu has two choices for the three of them."
"Please tell me, everyone." The three of them were defeated and their mood was not very high.
"The three of you can leave with fifty taels of silver, which Lu just agreed to." Lu Xuan looked at the three of them and smiled: "In addition, the hundred taels of silver will be returned to the three of them, and the skills can also be given to the three of them."
When the three of them heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked at Lu Xuan.
"I have a group of incompetent brothers who have no skills and want to learn a skill. There are a lot of them. If the three of them are willing to teach them, not only will they be given the skills, but I will also hire them for a hundred taels per month. Professor, I wonder what you three think?" Lu Xuan looked at the three of them with a smile.
When the three of them heard this, they didn't know that Lu Xuan wanted them to train soldiers. If they had just been there, they would have refused directly. But now, the success of Gu Xuanwu and the others in being hired is equivalent to opening a hole in the hearts of the three of them. They thought they would lose this opportunity. , and now it is back, the feeling of regaining something lost makes the three people no longer determined.
"Don't worry, you three. The Guiyi Sect has made a big fuss this time, spreading all over the counties of Daqian. Even if the Guiyi Sect fails in the end, if the court doesn't want the world to be in turmoil again, it can't continue to pursue others. After all, the law does not blame everyone!" Lu Xuan looked at the three of them and continued to confuse them with a smile.
The three people's already wavering will did not persist for too long under Lu Xuan's temptation, and finally chose to agree.
There is money to get, and there are skills to practice. I am just teaching people my skills. They are the ones who opened the school to teach disciples. Who can I teach but not teach?
After the three agreed, Lu Xuan asked Gu Xuanwu and the others to go back with the three to make preparations. They would live in the Lu family residence for a while.
"Brother Lu, these are just a few old soldiers, why do they need to spend such a huge sum of money?" After the six people left, Yang Chong finally couldn't help but ask.
"Knowing yourself and your enemy will make you safe in a hundred battles. We lack knowledge of the regular army of the imperial court. They are our sect." Lu Xuan threw the gun to his cronies and said as he walked: "Also, have you heard the story of buying horse bones for a thousand gold? "
Yang Chong shook his head. Not to mention him, Lu Chao, as a scholar, had never heard of it. But after hearing Lu Xuan's words and these words, Lu Chao had some guesses in his heart. He looked at Lu Xuan and said: "Brother, what do you think?" Use these people to attract more people like them?”
"Well, it sounds like a scholar. If we want to grow stronger, the army must be regularized. I don't know how long it will take for you and I to figure it out on our own. But if we can have people who have retired from the army join us, we can get twice the result with half the effort. Let's see, then Mr. Gu has a story, and he has to find ways to dig it out. This old man is very capable." Lu Xuan glanced at his younger brother with satisfaction.
"I didn't see it." Yang Chong recalled it. He didn't think there was anything special about Gu Xuanwu. Moreover, even if he had the ability, most of him would have been buried in the ground. What use could it be?
"Take your time and see." Lu Xuan shook his head and didn't explain much. It's rare to have leisure time, which is just a good time to improve your skills. In troubled times, nothing is more important than improving your own abilities.
