"Master, okay, I don't feel any pain now." I could only bite the bullet and put on my posture again.
"Now attack the master's lower three lanes."
I could only take it seriously, unite my horse with my horse again, and secretly block the master's back moves. The wooden sword shook and stabbed straight into the knee.
This time, the master gently raised his steps and dodged the attack again. At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand and wanted to slap my ear again.
At this critical moment, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind. I imitated my master, moved my steps slightly, and my head seemed to be floating. With a strange shaking, I escaped this fatal blow. .
I was overjoyed: "Oh Master, I learned it."
At this time, I also understood that this kind of weird body movement was not something that humans would be able to do when they were facing a life-or-death situation. Only at special moments of life and death can a person's body become extremely flexible, allowing them to make some extremely weird movements.
Li Tianji stroked his beard calmly and said: "You can teach me, boy. Not bad, not bad. Now master is here to attack your upper three, you use the counterattack technique that master just taught you to fight back against master, and then we will see how you master and I Dissolve.”
In the next month, I continued to learn from Master the Secret Sword of Returning Yang and Killing Life. It was a bit difficult when I learned the Secret Sword of Seeking Yin before, but when I learned the Secret Sword of Returning Yang, I found it extremely easy. It only took a month, and I was already perfect at it. Master Li Tianji, who only watched, was amazed.
"Disciple, now that you have learned the Yang Sword, the disciples of the famous sects in the world will probably not be your opponents. However, there are some extremely skilled swordsmen who you may not be able to defeat. Therefore, Master decided to teach you the last step, the fifth way of swordsmanship. I hope that after you learn this most powerful swordsmanship, you will not lose our Taihang's reputation in the world in the future."
I immediately solemnly promised: "Good Master, I will definitely keep it in my heart."
"This fifth sword technique is called "The 108-Style Thousand-Change Secret Sword". What is the 108-Style Thousand-Change Secret Sword?"
Master Li Tianji asked and answered his own questions.
"The so-called 108-style swordsmanship is a killing move that targets the 18 main joints of the human body and each section corresponds to 6 different moves. In total, there are 108 styles. If these 108-style swordsmanship is used in order, there are indeed only 108 styles, but if According to the principle of human dead joints, using two-two, three-three, four-four, five-five, this combined attack method, the total attack move combinations will be no less than a thousand. This is a thousand changes."
"Apprentice, my teacher will first point out to you the 18 main joints of the human body. They are: top of the head, face or back of the head, front and back neck, palms, arms, big arms and shoulders, clavicle or cervical spine, chest or vest, and crotch. Or the hip, thigh socket, knee socket, and ankle. These main human joints and the trunk have a total of 18 sections in the left and right sides. Each joint and trunk has a total of 6 killing moves. Now the master will practice it for you."
In the next few days, Li Tianji continued to teach the essence of the Thousand-Change Secret Sword. I was fascinated by such a complex and profound secret sword.
Finally one day, Li Tianji stopped me from practicing my swordsmanship assiduously.
"Shan Feng, your five sword skills as of today are considered preliminary. But learning is learning after all, and what you have learned cannot be regarded as yours. Next, Master will lead you to a real actual battle."
There was a sudden thought in my heart: "Master, how do we actually fight?"
"Shan Feng, don't you want to save the country and the people? Master often says that killing one evil person can be regarded as saving ten good people. Don't you think it's reasonable? Now, the evil people in this city are right in front of you. In a few days, God, master will take you into the city and kill a few evil people with your own hands. One is to save the country and the people, the other is to practice swordsmanship, and the third is to avenge your dead friends. Shanfeng, are you willing to become your master? go?"
Thinking of Jidong's death and the life and death threats I faced, I had no choice.
"Master, any day will do. I will accompany you to kill a few more evil people even if it means risking my life. I don't dare to mention the matter of saving the country and the people, but these evil people who care so little about human life will definitely be killed by me." We must fight him to the end.”
Speaking of this matter, I have always wondered whether it was Master who assassinated Sun Chuanhu before, and I happened to ask the same question today.
"Master, there were rumors in the city a few days ago that there was a hero who assassinated Sun Chuanhu. Could it be you?"
Li Tianji laughed loudly: "That's right, I am a teacher. However, that night, I was about to end Nasi, but unexpectedly, a woman named Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. Her grandma's success fell short, and she was not killed. , I ended up getting shot."
Female Cheng Yaojin? what's the situation.
"Master, what kind of girl is Cheng Yaojin? Did a woman shoot you? It couldn't be that Mrs. Jiu, right?"
Li Tianji was stunned for a moment: "What is the ninth aunt?"
"Master, you don't know, please listen to me..."
Next, I told Master everything about the Ninth Auntie’s use of ice to freeze her severed limbs and the disbandment of the Guards.
After listening to what I said, Master fell into deep thought.
"This Ninth Aunt is not from Earth." Master finally concluded.
After listening to Master’s words, I also deeply agree. This ninth aunt might have also traveled through time. So I thought.
"Shan Feng, how many more days until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Master suddenly asked.
"Master, tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Do you think I will prepare some fruits, vegetables, and some chicken, duck, and fish? Then I will accompany you to have a few sips?"
Master Li Tianji laughed loudly: "Shanfeng, we won't have a drink here tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go to the city to have a drink."
I was shocked: "Master, you mean..."
Master Li Tianji smiled and said: "Shan Feng, I will give you half a day off today. You will go to the county town to hire some porters later. I need four people. Master will be useful tomorrow. In addition, you will come to the temple at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Master is going to teach you some of the most powerful tricks, do you understand?"
"I understand, Master, I will find a porter for you right now." I received Master's order and walked out.
Without further ado, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye. Throughout the whole day, my master took me to discuss some swordsmanship, and also taught me footwork. He mainly explained how to dodge and assassinate when facing people holding firearms.
At the same time, the master has repeatedly told us to keep an eye on the six directions and listen to all directions. When fighting, there must be a cover within three steps. Prevent being attacked by random gunfire.
Lunch and dinner had also been prepared by Master a long time ago. I was a little puzzled. Since Master was injured, he rarely went out to show his face due to confidentiality reasons. Unusually for me, I bought a lot of food today.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, the master pulled out a long sword from under the bed.
"Shanfeng, this is a long sword that Master went to the next county town a few days ago and found for you. You can make use of it first."
I took the long sword, took it out and tried a few moves, and it was very easy. I looked at the edge of the sword carefully, and I could tell that it was newly sharpened and very sharp. The quality of this sword, judging from the wisdom of a 21st century person, should be considered a good sword. However, after all, it is something from the late Qing Dynasty, and there is still a certain gap between it and the craftsmanship of the 21st century.
"Thank you Master for giving me the sword."
The master said: "Shan Feng, this sword is the collection of a rich man in the county next door. The rich man is fat and strong. At first glance, he is not a martial arts practitioner. This sword is in his hand, it is a waste. Something. This sword is neither good nor bad. It should be enough for you to use at night. Let’s wait for this later, and master will find you a better one. Okay, it’s almost time now. Put away your sword and let’s set out now.”
I agreed and put away the sword. At the same time, he secretly complained that the master said he was looking for it, but in fact he was just stealing it. Stealing other people's things and saying so confidently. Also convinced.
Master also picked up a small bundle from the corner and carried it on his back. Then turn on the stove. The two of them left the temple.
Tonight is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the moon in the sky is exceptionally bright. The snow on both sides of the road has not melted, and the entire road is illuminated brightly.
I carried my sword on my back and followed my master on the road. This time, the master did not perform any Qinggong. He just walked like an ordinary person. The slight difference was that the walking speed was much faster than normal people. I also had to pull away and just barely keep up. Occasionally I had to jog for a while, otherwise I would fall behind.
In less than an hour, Master and I arrived at the foot of the city wall. At this time, the master dug out a bundle of rope from the small bundle at the back. There was a dark iron hook at one end of the rope. Could this be a flying tiger claw? As a soul from the 21st century, this is my first time seeing this thing.
Master picked up the flying tiger claw, threw it lightly and hung it on the city wall.
"Apprentice, I'll go up first, and you can climb up along the rope in a while. This rope is of average quality. Remember to use your feet to borrow strength from the cracks in the bricks, okay?"
After the master finished speaking, without waiting for my consent, he climbed up along the rope in a hurry. His skills were not like an old man in his fifties or sixties, but like a nimble monkey.
After Master went up, I followed suit and climbed up carefully. Fortunately, the rope was not broken.
Although it is already late at night and early in the morning, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so there are still some remaining lights in the city. There should be a lantern show tonight, but this is after all an era of war and chaos. After midnight, the city The citizens must have dispersed early.
I followed Master all the way through the shadows under the eaves, and within a quarter of an hour, I saw two huge red lanterns in the Marshal's Mansion.
