As soon as Master Xuyun finished speaking, Master Kongkong suddenly said: "At present, there are five major sword techniques in the martial arts that are unparalleled in the world. In addition to the Sun and Moon Sword Technique of the Sun God Sect, they are Shaolin Zhuifeng Sword Technique, Tianling Dao Lingshan Sword Technique, and Emei Sword Technique. Meishan Swordsmanship and Qingcheng Foil Sword, I think it’s still early, so why don’t you demonstrate it.”
Master Kongkong’s proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
Zhang Lingtian asked his disciples to fetch seven or eight swords and let the masters who did not bring swords choose from them.
"Then I'll do it first." Lan Ling took a sword from the hands of a disciple of Tianling Dao. He held the sword and handed it to everyone in the courtyard. He pulled out the sword with a "crack" sound, but saw that the sword was glowing under the setting sun. It shines with green light and exudes murderous aura, which makes people feel chilled.
Lan Ling'er held the sword in her right hand, holding a sword flower, and began to dance with the sword. However, her feet were like the wind, moving her body left and right. The sword in her hand was like a meteor in the fire, flashing in all directions, and her whole body was like a butterfly. Swaying among the flowers.
Shaolin Zhui Feng Sword Technique emphasizes lightness, like mercury leaking to the ground, and like bees flying and butterflies dancing. Lan Ling'er has practiced this sword technique for many years and is well aware of the wonderful flavor of sword techniques. This set of sword techniques can be said to be watertight and wonderful. Unparalleled.
"Good swordsmanship!" Before Lan Ling'er finished dancing with the sword, Fo'er was excited and cheered loudly, and others also applauded.
Watching Lan Ling'er dance with the sword, Zhu Yu couldn't help but think of Lan Ling'er dancing with the sword in the Shaolin Temple a few years ago. Time flies so fast, and before she knows it, Lan Ling'er has become an adult.
Lan Ling'er danced a sword technique without any fatigue, and clasped her fists at the crowd with great energy, saying: "You're showing off your shame." He turned around and stood in front of Zhu Yu and Lan Tian.
The next person to appear was Yi'er. She glanced at everyone present, then calmly pulled out the sword on her back and struck three swords in a row with "swish, swish, swish". This is the starting move of Meishan Swordsmanship, called three kills. It is to suddenly throw out three swords towards the opponent's chest, abdomen and legs, aiming to surprise him.
After delivering the three moves, Yi'er turned around and moved the boy to worship Guanyin. He raised his sword upwards, but it was an unexpected move. The people around him immediately responded with palms.
Yi'er is tall and tall, and the sword she wields is several inches longer than normal. It was clearly tailor-made for her.
There are twenty-four moves in Meishan Swordsmanship. Each move is cleverly connected and is actually a separate move. It looks like one continuous move. Especially when Yi'er dances, it is even more like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Amid another round of applause, Yi'er sheathed her sword, bowed to everyone, and then retreated back into the crowd.
Yi'er's set of swordsmanship is exquisitely designed and has a lot of killing moves. It is more practical than the Shaolin Zhuifeng swordsmanship performed by Lan Ling'er. Coupled with Yi'er's more than ten years of training, it is indeed incomparable. Being picky, Master Xuyun nodded repeatedly and showed a proud smile.
"Next, please ask the Qingcheng disciples to perform Qingcheng's flower-piercing sword technique."
After everyone finished talking, Ling Linzi, who was in his mid-twenties and ranked third among the four sons in Qingcheng, stepped forward without hesitation. Among the four sons in Qingcheng, the eldest, Lingshanzi, is the head of the family. He is in his fifties. The second eldest, Linghuazi, is four or five years younger than Lingshanzi. They are husband and wife. It is not appropriate for them to dance swords on such an occasion. , the fourth son Lingyazi had just recovered from his injury, and he had taken Master Xuyun as his teacher before. Now it is not appropriate to demonstrate Qingcheng swordsmanship on behalf of the Qingcheng sect.
Zhu Yu heard from Lingya Zi that there are thirty-six moves in the Qingcheng Flower Piercing Sword Technique. Although there are many moves, there are six basic moves in total, which are chopping, stabbing, slashing, cutting, tapping, and picking. Only those who are familiar with these six Basic moves, easy to learn.
Ling Linzi is slightly fat and not tall. When he dances with the sword, he tossing and turning, without showing the clumsiness of an obese person. This is because Ling Linzi entered Qingcheng to practice at the age of seven. It has been eighteen years now and he has no idea how to practice his sword skills. How many times, secondly, Qingcheng Foil Sword emphasizes smallness and agility, and this swordsmanship is just right for Ling Linzi, who is not tall.
A moment later, Ling Linzi had completed the thirty-six postures of the Qingcheng Sword, and left the stage with fists clasped, attracting a burst of praise.
"Xie Fei and Xie Yan, you two will demonstrate the Eighteen-Style Lingshan Sword Technique together."
Seeing Ling Linzi's end, Zhang Lingtian waved his hand and asked Xie Fei and Xie Yan to dance with their swords.
Although Xie Fei and Xie Yan are only sixteen or seventeen years old, they have been practicing Tianling Dao martial arts for eight or nine years. They are considered the disciples with the highest martial arts skills under Zhang Lingtian's three major disciples Zhou Tianzhi, Zhao Yitian and Wang Yuezhao.
The two of them were carrying their own swords, and as soon as they appeared on the stage, the breath of tigers and tigers rushed to their faces. The two of them didn't say anything. They just held their hands and started to use their swords.
Zhu Yu could see that compared with the lightness of Shaolin swordsmanship, the broad opening and closing of Emei swordsmanship, and the dexterity of Qingcheng School swordsmanship, Tianling Dao swordsmanship focused on condensation and thickness, forcing people to attack with every move. No, it is not strictly guarded. It is indeed the top level of swordsmanship in the Central Plains.
Xie Fei and Xie Yan's sword moves are different, but they are perfectly matched. However, they are not divided into left and right or male and female like some swordsmanship, advancing and retreating together. The masters are puzzled. Until the end of the last move, some masters We can see the clues. It turns out that Xie Fei and Xie Yan, one of them is doing the moves in front of each other, starting from the first move, and the other is doing the moves backwards, starting from the 18th move. What is amazing is that these 18 moves, One positive and one negative perfectly cooperate with each other, both offensive and defensive, and the design is extremely clever.
"Master Zhang Lingtian, your Tianling Dao still has such exquisite swordsmanship, but I have never heard of it or seen it before?" Master Kongkong sighed after watching Xie Fei and Xie Yan perform their sword dances.
"Wherever, my Tianling Dao skills are not as good as those of others, so I can only use opportunism. This set of swordsmanship can be used by one person. If you encounter a strong enemy, two people can face the enemy together, which is far more powerful than the combined power of the two of them." Zhang Lingtian replied.
"Everyone, everyone has their own explanation for the sword dance, and there is no way to tell the difference. I think, while it is still early, how about we just compete with each other directly?"
Everyone followed the sound and looked over. The person speaking was Lingshanzi, who ranked first among the four sons in Qingcheng.
Lingshanzi has always been arrogant, especially after his master Yashanzi passed on the position of master to him and traveled around, he became even more arrogant and wanted to be the first in everything. Fortunately, Linghuazi often reminded him that he Just restrained a little.
Hearing what Lingshanzi said, Linghuazi gave Lingshanzi a hard look and said, "Swords are ruthless, what should I do if I hurt someone? Besides, Master Kongkong asked everyone to dance with the sword, it was just for entertainment, why bother to divide the rankings?" Down."
"It doesn't matter. I have a wooden sword. I use this for sword competitions on weekdays. As long as you don't use your internal strength, you can still tell the difference in swordsmanship."
Seeing Lingshanzi compete with swordsmen, but his wife objected, Zhang Lingtian hurriedly tried to smooth things over for him.
"Yes, martial arts are based on competition. Let me give it a try." At this time, Lan Tian also became interested.
At this moment, a Tianling Dao disciple had brought a wooden sword, and Lan Ling went over to pick one first.
Although it is a wooden sword, it is very delicately carved from the scabbard to the sword body. The scabbard is even carved with patterns, and the hilt is also engraved with a tiger pattern. The sword body is painted with silver paint, which is enough to look real.
Seeing that Lan Tian waited for a while and no one accepted the challenge, Lingshanzi had to condescend and get a wooden sword, and stepped forward to fight Lan Tian.
When Lan Tian saw Ling Shanzi coming forward with his sword, he knew he was no match for him. As soon as he came up, he used the unique skill of Chasing the Wind Sword - rain or shine, he fired nine swords in a row and stabbed nine major points on Ling Shanzi's front body.
After Lingshanzi's martial arts gradually improved, he no longer bothered to use the sword to defend himself. He didn't even carry the sword on his back. However, he had been practicing the flower-piercing sword technique for more than 30 years. Even in his dreams, he could dance three moves and two moves. Therefore, seeing Lan Ling Attacked by a fierce offensive, Lingshanzi was not in a hurry, but used the defensive move of the flower-piercing sword - Close the Moon and Shame the Flower, and bounced the Blue Sky Sword away in a few or two strokes.
When Lan Tian saw that one of his moves was ineffective, he immediately changed his moves and used a move called "Wind Rolling Clouds". He lowered himself and raised his wooden sword to slash at Lingshanzi's feet.
Lingshanzi squatted half-way on Lan Tian's body, knowing that he was going to attack his lower body, so he jumped up with his feet off the ground, turned over, and stabbed Lan Tian's head with the tip of his sword downward.
Lingshanzi's move was as fast as lightning. If the tip of the sword pierced Lantian, even if it was a wooden sword, Lantian couldn't bear it. Fortunately, when the Lantian sword was slashing at Lingshanzi, he saw him rising into the air and knew that Lingshanzi was going to strike from above. He stabbed himself downwards, knowing that something was wrong, he quickly turned around and rolled to the side, then turned over like a kite and stood firmly one foot away from Lingshanzi.
"Nephew Lan Xian accepted." In this battle, Lingshanzi undoubtedly won the victory, but seeing Lan Tian's nimble movements and quick reactions, he couldn't help but admire him.
