One month passed in the blink of an eye, and Master Li Tianji's injury finally healed, and he can now get out of bed and move around.
On this day, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. I prepared fruits early, and Master Li Tianji also wrote down the name of the ancestor. After some mysterious blessings and incantations, I kowtowed to Master three times and finally completed the initiation ceremony. I finally got my wish and became a master.
"Shan Feng, remember, our sect is called Taihang. Once you enter Taihang, you must never mention your surname. From now on, your name will be Shan Feng. If outsiders ask, just say Shan Feng." Mingfeng, whose courtesy name is Yuanle, do you know?"
Shanfeng: "Remember Master."
Li Tianji said: "Shanfeng is your Taoist name, and it is also your name. Of course, you can also take a surname like Master, who walks in the world. Among the hundreds of surnames, Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu and Wang Zheng , whichever one you like, just use that surname. If you don’t like it, change it to another one. We Taixing believe in being easy-going. You know. The last thing is, your real surname must never be mentioned to anyone in the future."
Shan Feng asked in confusion: "I don't understand, why is this, Master?"
Li Tianji smiled and said: "You don't need to understand. As long as you know that our profession as Taoist priests requires anonymity. Our real names must not be revealed, otherwise we may be cursed by some scoundrels. Don’t be defensive.”
"Oh, then I understand, Master."
Master is so careful, it seems that this world is indeed somewhat magical. I just don’t know if the world I am living in in the late Qing Dynasty is the same world as the Chinese world I lived in before. The earth beneath our feet is still not the same earth.
Li Tianji was very happy: "Very good, Shanfeng. Master will teach you a swordsmanship today. Just take a look."
While talking, Li Tianji pulled out a soft sword from the baggage. Huh? There was actually a long sword hidden in Master's little baggage, which I had never seen before. How did this little baggage hide a sword more than one meter long? Could it be a soft sword, the kind that can be rolled up?
Li Tianji jumped up and came to the front of the temple. Li Tianji was originally tall, and the sword he wielded was shining with silver. When he used a sword technique, it was really full of sword energy, dragons and snakes dancing wildly, which made people dazzled.
Shanfeng cheered: "Master, your swordsmanship is really good. What a great swordsmanship, Master. It's amazing, Master."
Li Tianji picked up a sword technique and said: "The name of my sword technique is "18-Style Group Attack Secret Sword". After you practice it to a pure level, you will not be afraid of group attacks or battle formations. You must be good at it." study."
Shan Feng quickly agreed.
"Look at Shanfeng, this 18-style group attack secret sword can kill the left, right, front, up and down of the human body in 6 directions. Each direction has 3 killing moves. In total, it is 18 styles. Look at my first style, which is dedicated to killing. The left eye..."
With Li Tianji's explanation and demonstration, I roughly understood the routine of the 18-style group attack secret sword. For example, when attacking the left side of the body, 3 of the styles attack the left eye, left arm, and left leg respectively. When attacking the right side of a person's body, the opposite is true.
When attacking the front part of the body, three of the postures attack the face, chest, and lower body respectively. When attacking the back of a person's body, they attack the back of the neck, the lower back, and the back of the knee.
When attacking the upper parts of the human body, the focus is on the facial features, throat, and internal organs. When attacking the lower parts of a person's body, they focus on attacking joints such as the waist and abdomen, knee sockets, hamstrings, and ligaments.
Li Tianji is really capable. As he explained and demonstrated, I slowly remembered this swordsmanship in my heart.
"Shan Feng, you have been watching for so long. There are a total of eighteen movements. Please show them to Master."
I agreed, took the long sword from the master's hand, followed the example of a gourd, and started to use each move.
As the master continued to correct me, it took me half a day to finally learn this swordsmanship to a standard.
This practice also exhausted me to death. It seems that martial arts training is really not a light job, it is a physical job.
On the second day, Master Li Tianji personally tried the sword for me. Through each attack, I strengthened my understanding of the attack moves of the secret sword. At the same time, he also taught me an internal meditation method called Taiyi Yin and Yang Secret Code of Creation. It is said that you can cultivate the true yin and yang energy, and then you can reverse the creation and soar into the clouds in the daytime.
Can this world still soar in daylight? As a 21st century soul, I definitely don’t believe it. However, I still practice honestly. We don’t want to fly in the daytime. We just want to learn some Qinggong skills. It’s okay to fly on grass or something.
In this late Qing Dynasty, there was such a strange person as Master. At the same time, he became more and more certain that the Bai Ying who went to assassinate Sun Chuanhu that night must be his master.
The master's kung fu should be very powerful, so you must learn it hard.
After practicing for several days, Li Tianji suddenly taught him a new sword technique.
Because Li Tianji said that although the 18-style group attack secret sword is not afraid of group attacks, it will not work if it encounters a master. Therefore, on the basis of the group attack secret sword, I also taught the "18-Style Killing Secret Sword".
This 18-style killing secret sword uses 6 common attack methods of swords: point, thrust, pick, collapse, chop, and slice. Each type also learns 3 most effective killing moves, for a total of 18 styles.
The master told me that after learning these 18-style secret killing sword, I would be able to quickly kill every master I encounter in the battle array.
At the same time, Master also checked the progress of my inner strength training and came to an unsatisfactory result.
When practicing this internal skill and mind method, it is indeed a bit confusing. I have been practicing for more than half a month and I still haven’t started. Master told me not to be anxious and just let everything happen.
This 18-style Killing Secret Sword is a little more difficult than the original Group Attack Secret Sword, but I had only learned it for seven or eight days when my master Li Tianji taught me a new sword technique.
This new sword technique is called "18-Style Xunyin Secret Sword". According to Li Tianji, there are some dead joints in the six parts of the human body, including the limbs, head, and trunk. These dead joints are especially important when people move. Obviously, according to my understanding of the 21st century soul, those so-called dead joints are actually similar to what people in the future will often call anti-joints.
The only difference is that when the two swordsmen are dueling, all the dead joints on the human body are in motion, and after the human body makes a specific posture, other parts must not make actions contrary to common sense at this time. These are Result from the constraints of dead joints.
To learn "18-Style Xunyin Secret Sword", the first step is to learn which movements humans cannot perform in various sports and martial arts movements, and then carry out key attacks according to this situation.
When I was learning the Xunyin Secret Sword, I was knocked down by my master at every turn due to the incoordination of my anti-joints. When human beings face their own weaknesses, they don't need much external force. Often, just a gentle push will cause them to fall to the ground immediately.
This Xunyin Secret Sword is indeed more profound. I racked my brains and learned it for more than a month. In the eyes of Master Li Tianji, my qualifications for learning the sword are only average, and I am barely qualified. .
On this day, after I finished practicing the first three sword techniques, my master called me in front of me.
"Apprentice, you have practiced the previous three sword skills here. With these three sword skills by your side, ordinary people are not your enemies. However, there are many swordsman masters in this world, especially now. When society is in such chaos, some disciples from famous sects walk around the world from time to time. Disciples from these famous sects also know some secrets of deadly swordsmanship. If you meet people like them in the future, based on what you have learned now, I'm afraid I can't defeat them with these three sword techniques."
"So, today Master is going to teach you a new 18-style sword technique. The name of this new sword technique is "The 18-Style Returning Yang Life-Destroying Secret Sword"."
I asked curiously: "Master, what is the secret sword of returning Yang and killing people?"
"Shan Feng, you use the Xunyin Secret Sword you just learned to attack my upper third path. I will demonstrate it to you."
I nodded, picked up my small wooden sword and pointed it at the master.
"Attack here." Master ordered.
I combined my bow and horse into one, and secretly blocked the master's back moves. I flicked my wooden sword and stabbed straight in the face.
Suddenly, the master's feet turned, and his head shook strangely, as if a person's head was floating away from the body. In an instant, he escaped from my attack range. At the same time, the master struck me with a backhand sword. on one ear.
I just heard a crisp sound and I fell to the ground.
My head was buzzing at this time, and I tried hard to get up, but I couldn't. After a few seconds, he struggled to get up.
"Oh Master, it hurts me to death. Your head was floating just now? Oh Master, it hurt so much just now."
"This hurts. I asked you to attack the master, and you really hit me. Today is to teach you a long lesson. This will save you from learning the skills in the future, kicking your nose in the face, and disrespecting the teacher. Do you remember?"
Shanfeng quickly bowed and said: "Remember Master, I will never dare to do it again."
Li Tianji chuckled: "Good disciple, this person's ears are one of the most fatal weaknesses of a person. With just a tap, this person will fall to the ground. Master will teach you a lesson today." , you remember clearly, remember the essence of the secret sword of returning Yang that Master is going to teach you today. The so-called Returning Yang is a fatal blow to you from other masters who are familiar with dead joints. At this time, you used the limits of your human body to dodge. , is called returning the Yang. After you return the Yang, you immediately kill the enemy with a backhand blow to the sword. This is called killing. You know it. Okay, now use your second attack sword move to attack the master's Try the next three routes.”
I shrank my neck and said, "Master, why don't you forget it and just teach me directly. I feel like I can learn it without attacking you..."
"This is called pain. When the enemy attacks you, and you cry out for pain, will the enemy be soft?" Li Tianji's face slowly turned cold.
