"It was so dangerous in ancient times..."
"Practice! Practice!"
After watching his sister disappear into the night again, Di Jin carefully washed the dishes and chopsticks before returning to the backyard and in front of the weapons rack.
Having figured out the trick in his mind before, he stretched out his palm, picked up a copper mace of a specific weight, and started practicing.
Speaking of the weight of copper maces, the most famous one is Qin Qiong's weapon in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". A pair of gilded copper maces, weighing a total of 128 kilograms, is used to kill the enemy's head among thousands of troops. It was so terrifying.
In real history, the most significant mace of the Song Dynasty is the "Li Gang Mace", a cultural relic in the Fujian Museum. It is less than one meter long and weighs seven pounds and two taels.
The comparison gap is too large.
In fact, even Li Gangmai's weight of seven pounds and two taels is not considered light in actual combat.
A normal adult holds a weapon and wants to freely display his combat power. The weight of a single whip is generally in the range of three or four kilograms to six or seven kilograms. Even if he is extremely talented, he cannot exceed it by much.
Those weighing ten kilograms are basically dual-wielding weapons, and those weighing several dozen kilograms are performance weapons used by strongmen, and are basically not used to kill enemies.
But Di Jin's single mace at this time weighed thirty-six kilograms. Normal soldiers would have difficulty lifting it for a long time, let alone dancing to kill the enemy. But for him, it was only the current level of training, and the weight would be increased later. .
He relies not only on the strength of his arms, but also on the breath in his body, following the unique breathing rhythm, rising and falling together, as if wandering among the limbs, meridians and muscles, the strength gradually rises, and finally converges between the palms of both arms.
"Inner energy, inner energy, inner force...the names are different, but it should be the same kind of energy, a bit of a transcendent element, but it is not as exaggerated as a high-level martial arts cultivator. It should be difficult for individual force to surpass the power of the group."
"Every martial arts school has its own breathing methods to temper the inner Qi. This is the difference between masters and ordinary people. Before I was fifteen years old, I focused on internal training, which is equivalent to practicing Internal strength, laying the foundation.”
"The current Dragon Mace is a practical combat move, a unique skill used to kill enemies!"
Di Jin's organization is very clear.
Although there are a certain number of martial arts people in this world, I have never heard of any large-scale martial arts sects, rankings of masters, martial arts leaders, and there are no magical secrets that can be fought over. I prefer the historical martial arts.
What is Jianghu?
The civil forces that are not controlled by the imperial court are the Jianghu.
Fan Zhongyan said that if you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your king. This is actually an antagonistic relationship between temples and rivers and lakes.
The rivers and lakes are not vassals of the temples, and the temples cannot extend their hands into the sphere of influence of the rivers and lakes. The elites of the people have formed a dynamic social class to resist the exploitation and oppression of corrupt officials. At the same time, they have also inspired all walks of life. industry creativity and vitality.
Therefore, many scholars in later generations believe that various folk elites in the world have exerted their own strengths and contributions to promote the development of the entire era.
This is a healthy way of operation in which rivers and lakes and temples complement each other.
Di Jin likes the romance and unrestrainedness of martial arts arenas, where he can travel to the ends of the earth with his sword. He also accepts the real historical way of operating martial arts arenas, and he has not forgotten that no matter which mode, the people in arenas are quite dangerous.
The person who kidnapped the daughter of the richest man this time is probably a person from the Jianghu, who is cunning, brave and extremely vicious.
If you want to solve this kind of case, the process is not as simple as a reasoning game, it is a matter of life and death!
Therefore, detectives are often accompanied by guards with superb martial arts skills.
For example, Li Yuanfang is to Di Renjie, Zhan Zhao is to Bao Zheng, and Dr. Ali's invention is to Conan.
He doesn't seem to be treated so well.
When you become a detective, even if it is temporary, you have to practice martial arts frequently to deal with crises!
"How about taking the world's best martial arts as a prerequisite for a detective? Haha... I'm not a detective!"
"I don't know if this world is the setting of Three Heroes and Five Righteousness. How old is Zhan Zhao? Did he meet the young Bao Zheng..."
Di Jin thought about it nonchalantly for a while, and suddenly became curious again.
According to what my sister said, Ouyang Chun and Zhan Zhao are now quite famous in the world, but no one has yet called them Beixia and Nanxia. I don’t know if they have the background of Three Heroes and Five Righteousness, or if they have What other changes.
However, many people have been misled by TV dramas, thinking that Zhan Zhao should be a young man in his twenties, while Bao Zheng is much older. Therefore, in "Young Bao Qingtian", since Bao Zheng has become a teenager, Zhan Zhao is directly Became a child.
But in fact, according to the plot in the original work "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", Zhan Zhao and Bao Zheng first met when the young Bao Zheng came to Beijing to take the exam. Zhan Zhao was just in his early twenties at the time, and when he was awarded the fourth grade As a guard with a sword, Zhan Zhao was already in his thirties when he served in Kaifeng Mansion, and was even close to forty.
Not to mention why Bao Zheng was promoted so quickly. In just ten years, a scholar who had never won the imperial examination became the governor of Kaifeng. The two of them are actually about the same age. Zhan Zhao might be even older than Bao. Zheng is one or two years older.
"Why does it feel so awkward for Bao Zheng to call Brother Zhan Zhao? It's better not to act like that..."
"By the way, if I get Jinshi in the imperial examination next year, Bao Zheng and I will still be in the same subject!"
After thinking for a moment, Di Jin adjusted his breathing and quickly let go of distracting thoughts.
As I practiced, I got into a peculiar rhythm.
The sound of breaking through the air is continuous, and the copper mace dances as if it has become a swimming dragon, twisting and turning around, and it feels like an arm using fingers, and the person and the mace seem to be one.
The advantage of weapon weight is reflected here. One point more is too heavy, one point less is not enough, it is just right!
"Bang!"
At first, the moves had special memories, but soon they became subconscious movements. Di Jin had been practicing for an unknown amount of time, and his inner energy suddenly ran out.
Just a moment ago, he felt full of strength. In the next breath, his arms suddenly sank, and the thirty-six-pound copper mace stopped hard on the ground, breathing heavily: "Hoo!! Hoo!! "
When he was embarrassed, Di Jin showed surprise again, and found that there was some secret to the sudden feeling of powerlessness.
The old strength is gone and the new strength is reborn.
Kanglong... Kanglong has regrets...
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The sound of stroking palms reached his ears.
Di Xiangling didn't know when, but he stood behind and watched, his eyes full of admiration and joy: "Sixth brother has such a talent, he has touched the edge of the entrance of Kanglong Mace in just a few days, so practice like this! Quickly adjust your inner breath! "
"Hoo-ho!"
Di Jin used the breathing method and felt an inner energy rising from the limbs and bones again, relieving the fatigue of the muscles and bones, and said: "The word "Kong Long" comes from the hexagram of the Book of Changes, which means that when everything is strong, it will decline. , Move with regret, I guess the key to being a powerful dragon is to accurately grasp the timing of the alternation of old power and new power. This is true for people, and the same is true for weapons?"
"Did you realize this yourself?" Di Xiangling's admiration turned into a bit of horror, and she circled around him: "Are all scholars so smart?"
Di Jin laughed: "Of course it's because I look like my sister~"
"Uh-huh!"
Di Xiangling nodded repeatedly and acknowledged it without humility: "Family skills are passed down from male to female. I learned them secretly at first. Later, when my father saw that I could learn faster than my elder brother, he secretly taught me. Warn me not to let other tribesmen know..."
Di Jin frowned slightly.
Father...brother...
The family members represented by these identities seem to be very far away, so far away that I don’t even have a vague impression...
"What are you talking about..."
Di Xiangling secretly regretted it, quickly changed the topic, turned around and went to the house to get a box of ointment and said, "Apply it well, otherwise you will be ready to spend the whole day in bed tomorrow!"
Di Jin took it, sat on the ground, and started applying the medicine with a grin on his face.
"Be patient!" Di Xiangling wiped his back and warned him by the way: "Don't be complacent. With your talent, it is not a problem to become a powerful weapon, but to really face the enemy, you have to rely on your experience in the world and show your ruthlessness. Come, otherwise when we actually fight against the desperadoes, life or death will be uncertain!"
Di Jin pursed his lips, knowing that his sister said that on purpose.
In the past, he had stayed away from all matters related to the political arena and had immersed himself in reading the books of sages. This time he offered to help, and since Di Xiangling agreed, he no longer avoided it.
Di Xiangling really thought so: "There is a chance now. As you expected, Lei Huhu has started to investigate himself, and Mrs. Lei is not the only one who was kidnapped. There are at least two or three families whose children have suffered." !”
Di Jin's expression became serious: "Are you sure? This matter cannot be heard through hearsay!"
His attitude was so rigorous that Di Xiangling did not dare to make any mistakes. He thought for a while and said: "There is only one company that can be confirmed at the moment..."
"Which one?"
Di Xiangling blinked and mentioned a once-famous family: "Wang family! Taiyuan Wang family!"
