is it hard?
Old Man Zuo didn't know how to answer. Although this Seven Killing Sword seemed to be just a sword technique learned by ordinary sergeants.
But it does not mean that this sword is not powerful, and on the contrary, it is very powerful. It is a sword technique that consumes the body's essence in exchange for power. If the sword is not powerful enough, will anyone be willing to use the method of sacrificing the body to practice this sword?
But is it difficult to practice this sword?
It doesn't seem difficult, even a fool can practice it.
But let’s talk about it, is it easy to practice this sword?
It doesn't seem to be easy, because each move has 8 changes, 8 sword techniques, and 8864 styles. Each style must be practiced proficiently. Only by mastering the 64 sword techniques can you be able to use the sword. People exercise their whole bodies.
Only when you exercise until your whole body can withstand the movement of evil spirits can you be considered a beginner.
Therefore, practicing this sword is easy to learn and difficult to learn.
Therefore, when Chen Yun asked this question, Old Man Zuo didn't know how to answer, so he had to say something in a muffled voice.
"Just keep practicing!
In the military camp, I have seen people who learned to practice the fastest. It took one month, and the average person took three or four months.
I see that although you are somewhat intelligent, you are spoiled and cannot bear hardships. It may take you two or three months to get started. "
"It's daytime now, and the Yang energy between heaven and earth is steaming. Monsters and ghosts generally don't appear, so you're still safe.
Moreover, you have that pig-killing knife next to you now, and its evil aura is so strong that ordinary little demons and ghosts would not dare to approach it.
In order to buy two knives, my family's money and food have been exhausted. While the evil spirit on the butcher's knife can still protect you, I will go up the mountain to collect some medicine in exchange for rice and food. "
Chen Yun nodded: "Be careful, you are so old, don't be so curious, and if you encounter a fight between a tiger and a giant python again, don't join in the fun!"
Old man Zuo's face darkened. He couldn't bring himself to pick up the pot.
With a snort, the old man picked up his medicine basket and planned to go up the mountain. After thinking about it, he hung a long knife on his waist and went out.
Seeing old man Zuo go out, Chen Yun continued to practice sword skills.
However, he found that the progress of his practice was very problematic. He had obviously practiced the sword technique four times, but the value shown on the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas was only 1/1000.
Only one time?
why?
I have obviously practiced 4 times, why did it only show that I practiced once?
He looked unwillingly at the display of the sword skills on the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas. Perhaps sensing the doubts in his heart, the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas was pulled back a little further, and the description of this tampered seven-kill swordsmanship was even more detailed. Be a little more careful.
Then he saw that the eight sword techniques were all separated. The eight variations of each sword technique were each one, for a total of 64 sword techniques.
The 64 knife skills are all lined up in a row, with numerical values (?) behind them. These numbers are either 1 or 4, but there are basically no 0s.
Chen Yun suddenly understood.
The numerical value behind each sword technique displayed on the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas should be the number of times you have practiced it correctly.
Only if it complies with the rules, the moves, the purpose of physical training, and the killing purpose that the sword is intended to achieve, can it be regarded as a correct practice.
The reason why it is displayed as 1/1000 is because some sword moves have been practiced correctly 4 times, while others have only been practiced once.
Just like a wooden barrel, the water that the barrel can hold depends on the shortest board of the barrel, commonly known as the short board.
That is to say, among the eight, eight and sixty-four sword techniques that I have learned, if I don't practice one of them well, my value will be lowered, and I will not be able to get started with this sword technique once I practice it.
But Type 64!
After practicing in one session, you may have forgotten everything you practiced before!
Or after practicing the former, do you still remember the feeling of the latter?
After practicing the sword technique for a while, Chen Yun felt that this was the slowest way to practice.
It suddenly occurred to him that maybe he could change his mind.
Just like when we learned mathematics when we were young, you can't learn calculus from addition, subtraction, multiplication and division right away.
You need to start with word recognition and repeatedly recognize numbers and symbols such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. After familiar numbers and symbols such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you can then start practicing the addition and subtraction of numbers, and then multiplication and division.
And during the practice process, after practicing addition and subtraction countless times, we gradually upgraded to practicing multiplication and division countless times.
Then there is the repeated study of various equations and formulas, and finally repeated and intensive study, and it is not until college that I study calculus in detail.
The key point lies in the repetition of part by part.
Countless repetitions are one of the most effective ways to learn the knowledge at that stage.
Therefore, Chen Yun was thinking about practicing swordsmanship by himself. Why should he practice the entire set of swordsmanship in the first place?
Can't he just take out each form and practice them?
Can I master that move faster by practicing alone countless times?
Moreover, if you take out each sword move and practice it individually, if there are any mistakes or irregularities, you can correct them on the spot, and you will not make the same mistakes the next time you practice. Isn’t this a better mastery? ?
If this is possible, it won’t be difficult to get started!
For example, in the first position of the chopping knife, that is, the first style, he can chop 1,000 times. Is this difficult?
It’s not difficult!
And if he has done 1,000 chops, then he will be very familiar with this kind of chopping posture, that is, this sword technique. Is this sword technique considered an introduction?
In Chen Yun's eyes, this is definitely considered entry-level.
If you practice the 64 sword techniques separately 64 times, each sword technique will be taken out separately and slashed 1,000 times.
Then maybe, it won’t take a month to get started with this set of sword skills.
But guessing is not enough. After all, you still have to test it out.
For example, for the 64-style sword technique, take out each sword move separately and do 10 qualified exercises to see if the final value increases as you guessed.
For the 64-style sword technique, each sword technique is swung 10 times, which means 640 cuts. There is no room for error in the prescribed angles and strength. This is very difficult for an ordinary person.
But Chen Yun is not an ordinary person, because a few days ago he ate the meat of a weasel with a history of 120 years. The abundant physical strength in his body allowed him to swing the knife 640 times in a row.
But all the hard work was worth it, because his idea was right.
When he finished practicing the previous 63 sword techniques and adjusted his posture to swing the first sword of the 64th sword technique, he saw on the scroll of the Book of Mountains and Seas in his mind that the number of practice times for the sword techniques he had practiced had actually increased. A numerical value of 2/1000.
He was worried that he would make a mistake, so he continued seriously and used the second sword of his last sword technique according to the rules again.
3/1000
Sure enough, my assumption was right. The limit of water in the bucket was indeed the shortest shortcoming.
When he did, he found the way to practice swordsmanship that suited him best.
Just as he was rejoicing, suddenly a crying cry came from far outside the courtyard gate.
"Is uncle at home?"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the courtyard was knocked open, and the first person who bumped in was a girl, but the girl was carrying a child on her back, a wet and unconscious boy who looked to be about seven or eight years old.
The girl rushed in and shouted: "Uncle, save my brother!"
There was also a group of people who broke into the yard with the girl.
Having stayed here for more than two months, Chen Yun certainly recognized this girl and the group of people behind her. These are all villagers here!
Over the past few months, I have occasionally seen each other without looking up, so I have become familiar with the faces.
Chen Yun also knew that these villagers usually had headaches and fever, and were reluctant to spend money to go to the county medical clinic, so they usually got some medicine from Old Man Zuo.
Now looking at the child on the girl's back, there must be something wrong with the child.
But the old man is not at home!
Moreover, the next moment, Chen Yun almost exclaimed, what is that?
Only then did he see that there was something dark and unknown lying on the back of the child that the girl was carrying.
This doesn't look normal.
At this time, it was slowly squirming on the child's back, like maggots and slugs, exuding a cold aura.
