Chapter 256: A new path, both internal and external
As the first person in the intelligence team of the mountain patrol team, Qingzhu should be very busy at this time. After all, he had just captured Tiexin Village and forced back Ji Rentu's two thousand cavalry. This was a rare recovery for Yinren Village. Expect.
As a senior member of the mountain patrol team, the middle-aged man also has corresponding plans for the next period of time.
It was not until noon that Yi Xifeng's figure appeared in the dense forest on time.
"I've seen it before, Senior Qingzhu!" the fair young man said respectfully.
He did not call the other party Captain Qingzhu because the young man knew that one of the Qingming Seven Swords taught to him by the other party that night was exactly the way of swordsmanship taught to him.
The so-called mind method of swordsmanship is the supreme secret book of martial arts. In fact, there are thousands of exercises in the world, and none of them can escape the operation of the fourteen meridians of the body. The important basis for distinguishing the level of these skills is the mind method.
Just like Qingzhu's "Seven Swords of Qingming", in his own words, his mentality can be summarized as "accumulation and development".
However, after the actual practice, Yi Xifeng understood that the accumulation here was not just words, but real actions.
As for the deeper meaning, according to the fair boy's own understanding, it is "forgetting". Forget about those accumulated moves and master them all. As the saying goes, there is no move to win without a move!
The "no move" here does not mean that there is no move in the eyes, but the mastery of the moves. To put it more directly, it is to eliminate its inherent marks and let those moves become one's own understanding or perception.
"How was your rest yesterday?" Qingzhu asked jokingly.
Obviously, the man naturally heard about the traveling in the world. After all, it was announced in front of so many black-armored soldiers that day. I believe that the information about the fair boy will soon appear on the desks of the leaders of the major forces in Luoye County.
Yi Xifeng sighed and muttered: "I feel like I only have two years left to play."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Even now, you have to develop the habit of always being on guard. There are many people who want to defeat you and become famous!"
The young man said with some astonishment: "Beat me and become famous? I am just a wanderer. Only when you beat me can you be qualified. Only by defeating Captain Cheng Tao."
Qingzhu shook his head and smiled: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Compared with grudges and grudges, there are more intrigues and intrigues in the rivers and lakes. To defeat Li Chengtao, it requires serious hard power. But to defeat a unknown person like you It’s much easier for the legendary little devil.”
Seeing that he still didn't understand, the middle-aged man continued to explain: "After all, for the martial arts warrior, traveling in the martial arts is the appearance of a strong martial artist, and not just cats and dogs can do it."
Obviously, for some people who are not strong enough, they continue to be famous in the world. He, a cheap man, walks around the world like a fat sheep covered in condiments.
"Senior Qingzhu, even with the current intensity of training, I think it will be difficult for me to reach the level of a knight in two years." The fair boy said with concern.
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this. We never expected you to win against Ji Shenfu." Qingzhu said with a smile.
…
The two soon ended their chat and started practicing swordsmanship in the forest.
Before, Qingzhu completed the most primitive accumulation of sword skills against Yi Xifeng by using various sword skills. And through multiple insights, the young man realized his first move, Qingming's Seven Swords, Qingming's Morning Light Sword.
In fact, this sword technique is similar to Qingzhu's "Qingming Liangyue Hook" in terms of its formation process and its application.
This is why when Yi Xifeng created this move that day, Qingzhu would lament that there are many ways to swordsmanship, and the same method would lead to different sword moves.
But the moves to be taught to the young man today were not as quick as that night.
The two of them were going back and forth in the forest, fighting each other for more than an hour.
However, Qingzhu forced Yi Xifeng into desperate situations several times in a row. Although the boy also had some amazing moves, they were all full of Li Chengtao style.
Although the power is good, it lacks a trace of the aura of kendo and sword spirit.
"Stop!" Qingzhu raised his hand and said softly.
Yi Xifeng also stopped attacking. He stared at the middle-aged mountain patrol team, waiting for the man's comments.
"Your swordsmanship moves are indeed very powerful, but they lack coherence. More importantly, they actually lack a hint of swordsmanship!"
Qingzhu stretched out the short staff in his hand and asked the boy to put his hand on it.
"Feel it!"
The fair boy closed his eyes and calmed down to feel it. From the beginning, he frowned, and it became tighter and tighter. Because he didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in inner energy from the beginning.
"How is it possible? I don't feel anything strange at all? What's going on?" Yi Xifeng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
After a while, Qingzhu continued to ask: "Do you feel it?"
The fair boy opened his eyes with an ugly expression, looked at the middle-aged man, and shook his head.
Qingzhu looked as if this was the case, and he explained softly: "I didn't use any inner strength with this sword just now, but I used my sword intention."
"Sword Intent?"
The man explained softly: "Your swordsmanship pursues power and lethality too much. Whether it is Shattering Shadow Slash or Flying Star Spirit Sword, they all rely on the blessing of strong internal energy to achieve success."
Yi Xifeng nodded. In fact, Li Chengtao had already told him this. The young man also discovered the disadvantages in the previous battle.
This kind of attack that relies solely on internal strength is not bad, but it always falls short. This is also the fundamental reason why Yi Xifeng has never been able to learn the fourth sword technique over the years.
The Thirteen Swords of Chai Feng only learn their appearance but do not understand their true nature. I can only learn three swords!
As soon as Yi Xifeng thought of this, he immediately bowed and said, "Senior, please teach me!"
Qingzhu thought for a while and smiled: "In fact, Captain Chengtao also told me about your situation. If you want to truly appreciate the meaning of the sword, you can try using different internal energy when using the sword."
"Without internal strength? Doesn't that mean we have to rely on pure physical strength?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "So, Captain Chengtao and I worked together to find two masters for you."
"What? Master? Two more?" Yi Xifeng was obviously confused by this piece of information.
Qingzhu explained with a smile: "Captain Chengtao's plan is to let you practice body training! When your body reaches the Shadow-breaking state, your body will naturally feel the true meaning of martial arts, and you will be able to understand what sword intention is!"
When the fair boy heard these words, he froze in place and murmured: "Refining...refining the body...refining the body to practice?"
"Because your inner strength is far deeper than that of your peers and even ordinary warriors. Therefore, in past battles, you have relied too much on this foundation. This time, I ask you to practice physical training to get rid of this deep inner strength." The convenience it brings.”
Yi Xifeng finally understood what the squad leader meant. The new path Li Chengtao and Qingzhu had set for him in the past two years was to cultivate both internal and external training.
Practicing internal and external exercises at the same time!
