When Yuan Xi saw that Taishi Ci wanted to perform martial arts, he remembered the last time in Guangling City and whispered to Lu Lingqi: "General Taishi once suppressed Sun Ce, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, and his breathing has a unique secret."
"I'm not capable enough to see the secret inside. It's up to you."
Lu Lingqi heard the words and nodded. At this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps. When everyone saw it, it was Zhao Yun who came.
Yang Feng saw him behind the bars. He clenched the bars with both fists, but then put them down slumped.
She had already understood from the last fight with Zhao Yun that even if she had a complete victory against Zhao Yun, she would have no chance of winning.
Seeing that everyone was there, Zhao Yun hurriedly came up to meet them. Taishi Ci put down his two halberds and came over to pay homage to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun quickly returned the greeting, and heard Taishi Ci laugh and say: "Ci came in a hurry, and I haven't paid homage to the envoy yet. I will wait for you later." Then go to the house to make trouble."
Zhao Yun said hurriedly: "Zi Yi is too polite, so he still calls me Zi Long Shun'er. There is only one envoy at the moment, and that is the Young Master."
Taishi Ci understood it as soon as he heard it and said with a smile: "But I didn't think carefully. I'd better call you General Zilong."
"I am about to perform some martial arts moves in front of the noble lady Marquis Wen. If there are any mistakes, I hope Zilong will correct me."
After Zhao Yunqian gave a few words, Taishi Ci returned to the atrium, held the two halberds in his hands, stood still, and started moving with each move.
His moves were wide open and closed, and there were obviously a lot of changes compared to the last time, but from Yuan Xi's perspective, he couldn't see what improvements had been made. However, Lu Lingqi's eyes flashed when Tai Shici made the moves. Lights up and reacts immediately.
Taishi Ci's moves were all simple straight thrusts and slashes. These basic moves were originally quite blunt, but after a few moves, even Yuan Xi could tell that something was wrong.
The closing gesture for a straight thrust must be standing with arms hanging down, while the starting gesture for slashing must be with arms raised.
However, Yuan Xi only felt his eyes dazzled when he discovered that these two seemingly incompatible actions were actually connected. He didn't even see what changes happened in the middle!
It was not until more than ten moves later that Yuan Xi vaguely saw some afterimages and realized that at the moment when the moves were changed, Taishi Ci's body movements accelerated several times, which caused this effect!
Lu Lingqi's eyes were bright. A life-and-death fight on the battlefield was not a martial arts exercise. How to make a move depended on the opponent's incoming force. How you made a move would also be predicted by the opponent.
This opportunity is when the moves are connected and changed, which is the so-called flaw.
But Taishi Ci shortened the time for this flaw to occur several times. This not only made it impossible for the enemy to attack, but also gave him the opportunity to take advantage of every move!
On the battlefield, fleeting moments become opportunities for victory, and top generals can not only look for opportunities, but also actively create opportunities. This is the difference between top generals and others!
After arriving, there seemed to be afterimages appearing around the edges of Taishi Ci's body, his footsteps seemed to be in all directions at the same time, and his arms seemed to have turned into six arms, making it impossible for onlookers to see where his real body was!
This seemed to have exceeded the limits of the human body. Lu Lingqi's eyes widened and her ears twitched slightly. She had found the root cause of Tai Shici's accelerated movements, which was the way he breathed!
Ordinary exhalation and inhalation can indeed give the body strength to maintain long-term fighting, but Taishi Ci's breathing is like a drum, matching his heartbeat, vibrating the whole body with his breathing, thereby unleashing the body's potential!
Bang, bang, bang, tiny sounds kept ringing. Lu Lingqi understood that the sound of Taishi Ci's joints, the breathing and heartbeat, actually transmitted the vibration to the bones and blood. At this time, Taishi Ci's body was like a big cowhide drum, and with the beating, The rhythm produced an endless stream of vibrations and reverberations!
Yang Feng stretched out her hands and grasped the iron bars on the window tightly with both hands. She watched Tai Shici's movements without blinking, and her fingertips turned white from exerting too much force.
"Drink!" Taishi roared in Ci's throat. He sped up again, his chest was like a bellows, and his originally pale face was already flushed. The halberd flowers dancing out of his arms covered his whole body, reflecting countless silver lights in the sun. , like another sun.
The next moment, the silver flowers exploded suddenly, and everyone felt the murderous intent from the tip of the halberd flying with the silver light, and subconsciously stepped back.
Among the crowd, Zhao Yun did not move at all, Lu Lingqi took one step back, but Yuan Xi and Lu Xun took three steps back and stood still.
When Yuan Xi saw it, he was amazed. In terms of martial arts experience, Lu Xun was obviously inferior to him. His ability to perform like this was due to his ability to remain unchanged despite all changes.
The most miserable person was Guo Jia, who almost fell down due to excessive exercise in the past few days, which was quite embarrassing.
Taishi Ci put away his halberd and stood still. It took him a while to regain his composure. He looked at Lu Lingqi and said, "What did the lady see?"
Lu Lingqi stopped talking and shook her head: "It's too difficult to learn."
"The general is afraid that he will use his heartbeat and breathing to create a startling effect, thereby stimulating the human body's subconscious reaction. This is no longer the realm of power, but a hint for the human body to automatically activate its potential."
Taishi Ci had a look of admiration on his face, "The girl is really talented. She can figure out the secrets of each one by relying only on her hearing. That's the truth."
"But because of this, this method extremely overdraws the human body's potential. When used, the human body is constantly frightened. In addition, in conjunction with the rhythm of the heartbeat, the damage to the body accumulates over time, and problems will occur sooner or later."
"When my master taught me back then, he said that this method had great flaws. He didn't have time to make up for it, so he had to let me figure it out on my own."
"For more than ten years, I have been thinking hard, and all I can think of is to slightly stagger the rhythm and movement of the heartbeat, so that the two will not affect each other too much and put too much pressure on the heart."
Yuan Xi blurted out: "Avoid resonance?"
Taishi Ci thought for a while and smiled: "Young master, what you said is quite appropriate. Using the heartbeat as a guide can indeed drive the whole body to vibrate."
"Staggering the rhythm of the two can reduce the damage to the body, but the power will also be weakened. After all, nothing is perfect in the world."
"And when this method is activated, you must move in advance to speed up your heartbeat. It cannot stop or start suddenly. Otherwise, it will put a heavy burden on people's hearts and is not a way to live longer."
"The only solutions I can think of are these two. As for whether the defects can be completely improved, it is definitely not possible."
"Life has its limits, but martial arts has no limits. Maybe someone will have a way to completely eliminate its hidden dangers in the future, but with Mercy's qualifications, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi praised: "I can't understand it as a general, but the person who taught me this method is so powerful."
Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and did not answer, but Lu Lingqi said: "I still have a little doubt."
Taishi Ci said: "My lady, please tell me."
Lu Lingqi said: "In the final analysis, this method uses breathing to induce changes in heartbeat. Everyone is different. In my ears, it is like music coming from the human body."
She hummed a tune casually and said, "This is the heartbeat of General Taishi when he uses all his strength."
For the first time, Taishi Ci looked surprised, "If a girl has such an ear, she will have a bright future!"
"There are some mysteries in martial arts that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words, but the girl can listen to other people's heartbeats to understand the opponent's techniques. In the future, she can even predict other people's movements!"
"This kind of talent is unheard of in Ci. Based on this alone, the girl has the potential to surpass Marquis Wen in terms of qualifications!"
Lu Lingqi added: "In the Battle of Black Mountain, General Zilong used this method to capture Yang Feng."
"This was also taught by General Taishi?"
She hummed another rhythm casually, "This is the heartbeat of General Zilong, which is completely different from General Taishi."
Zhao Yun looked surprised, "As a woman, it's really a pity."
Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Zilong's talent is different from that of girls, but it is also top-notch."
"He figured it out on his own after dozens of fights with me, and it's the method that suits him best."
"When Zilong performs, the blood does not show on his face. It is obvious that he has a unique skill. However, the connection of his moves is not forced to accelerate like me, but relies on the flexibility of the body and the coordination of the limbs."
"But this method, the two of us have carefully considered it, is not suitable for me who has already finalized my movements."
Zhao Yun nodded, "Using methods that are not suitable for you will only further reduce your body's lifespan."
"So every martial artist who wants to take a step further must find the martial arts path that suits him best. Just copying it mechanically will not work."
After hearing this, everyone present was astonished. It turned out to be this!
However, Lu Lingqi's next words surprised everyone including Yuan Xi, "But why did Black Mountain Captain Yang Feng use a similar method?"
"She learned it when she attacked me and Xian Yi before fighting General Zilong. Could it be that she learned it from General Ziyi?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was at a loss, but Taishi Ci seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
However, Yuan Xi keenly caught Tai Shici's expression and asked, "Does Ziyi know something?"
Taishi Ci smiled bitterly and said, "I just doubt it, but it's true..."
Yuan Xi said: "If Ziyi has something to hide, you don't have to say it."
Taishi Ci looked helpless, "I don't dare to ruin the young master's affairs."
"I heard that Yang Feng was related to the death of Dezhou..."
Guo Jia spoke up: "Behind the death of Dezhou was Yang Chou, who was controlled by Cao Cao. Although it has something to do with the Black Mountain Army, it may not have something to do with Yang Feng."
"It might be a good thing if General Taishi reveals the inside story."
Taishi Ci hesitated again and again and said, "I want to see her."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi called Sun Li and everyone went over together. Sun Li opened the bronze lock on the door and took off the bolt.
Sun Li pushed the door open and saw Yang Feng sitting on a pile of straw in the room, leaning against the wall, with a thin and pale face, staring at everyone with an indifferent expression.
Taishi Ci took a few steps closer. He first carefully identified Yang Feng's face, with a look of confusion on his face. Because Yang Feng had gone through several battles, his face had many large and small scars. Taishi Ci could not tell that he had something to do with his master. There is no similarity.
No one said anything, and there was silence. After Taishi Ci gradually heard Yang Feng's breathing clearly, his face changed again.
"This breathing method has been integrated into sitting, lying, walking, standing, and daily activities. If the water flows slowly and slowly over time, and the body gets used to it, it can reduce the physical damage during stimulation."
"I didn't expect that the method master passed down to me would lead to three different paths in the hands of me, Zilong, and Sheng..."
Yuan Xi couldn't help but ask: "Who is Master Ziyi...?"
Taishi Ci hesitated for a moment and then said slowly: "The great virtuous teacher, Zhang Jiao."
