The forty-seventh Zhongshan Evil Wolf Reveals Its True Form

Shortly after Li Yanzhi sent Xu Jie back, Yu Dayou also came to say goodbye. During this period, he worked as a teacher and brother, and worked together to run schools. They were very close to each other. He didn't want the army in the literary court to leave, and the military scholars refused again, so he was reluctant to leave.

But when Yu Dayou told me the reason for his farewell, Li Yanzhi could not keep him. It turned out that Yu Dayou was going to prepare for the next year's martial arts examination. This is the basis of his fame and fortune and future. Although Li Yanzhi was reluctant to leave, he had to hold a banquet to see him off. That night, Yu Dayou got drunk. On the next day, Li Yanzhi gave him a hundred taels of silver as a treasure.

Yu Dayou's family is poor, Li Yanzhi's family is rich, and his friends have the right to be rich, let alone the two of them are half-teachers and half-friendly. Therefore, Yu Dayou did not refuse. After walking for several miles, he suddenly turned back and pulled Li Yan to the side, saying, "I almost missed one important thing!"

Li Yanzhi said: "What's the matter?"

Yu Dayou said: "Half a year ago, my teacher Li Liangqin left his hometown to avoid socializing. He traveled to Youxi and knew that I was here, so he came to visit him. I traveled around the nearby mountains and rivers. He wanted to be secluded in the back mountain, so he stayed there, built a tree house to live in, and devoted himself to thinking, trying to integrate Jingchu fencing and the strengths of Japanese swords and advance to martial arts."

Li Yanzhi learned martial arts from Yu Dayou, practicing martial arts and martial arts. After learning it, he realized that martial arts was not mysterious and not magical, but after getting started, he became addicted and could no longer leave it.

His body could not keep up with his head, and his martial arts only had some foundation, but his martial arts were already quite extensive. He knew that Li Liangqin was one of the few martial arts masters in the world, and that the Jingchu fencing technique he was good at was even more extraordinary.

Chinese martial arts have a long history. Sword skills with "fighting" as an important form have been extremely developed in the Spring and Autumn Period at the time. When they developed into the Warring States Period, there were many heroes, and the Marquis competed for the sake of the quarrels, and fencing activities were very common. A large number of first-class swordsmen who served people with sword skills appeared in society. Judging from the records of documents from previous dynasties and the research on unearthed objects, the shape of the sword after entering the Warring States Period had undergone tremendous changes, namely, the sword in the Spring and Autumn Period was short, and the sword in the Warring States Period was long, and the change in length was not increased by one and a half inches.

Instead, it grows exponentially. For example, the world-renowned King of Yue Goujian sword is about one foot and nine inches long and the handle is about three inches long. However, the Warring States Iron Sword often reaches four feet away, and the hilt is mostly six inches away. The length of the sword is related to the metal smelting technology at that time, and it is also a reflection of the qualitative change in actual combat technology. The short sword is a self-defense weapon, which is held with one hand, so its hilt is short; the long sword is an offensive weapon. This kind of sword must hold the handle with both hands to chop and chop to exert its power, so its hilt is long.

The sword technique of the two-handed sword was prosperous in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but finally in the Tang Dynasty. Since the Tang Dynasty, its methods have been endless. From the Song Dynasty, the "sword technique" passed down in the secular world are mostly flashy "sword dances". Beautiful is beautiful, but cannot be used in actual combat. Li Liangqin is in the end of the Chinese two-handed sword technique. Although the Jingchu fencing technique he learned is unique in the contemporary era, Li Yanzhi often heard Yu Dayou sigh that compared to ancient times, Jingchu fencing technique has been greatly degraded. At this time, he heard that Li Liangqin was practicing the Japanese sword technique nearby, and he couldn't help but be curious and asked, "White sword?"

Yu Dayou said: "In recent years, pirates are rampant, and there are many Japanese figures. The teacher and I have encountered warriors in their country. Seeing that their two-handed sword techniques are very fierce, they are similar to those contained in ancient methods. I and Master Li repeatedly thought about it. I felt that this method may be a method of the Han and Tang dynasties entering the Japanese through the sea channel, and it has been transformed in its country for hundreds of years. If we can gain the strengths and make up for the shortcomings of our Jingchu fencing technique, our Chinese two-handed sword techniques may have the hope of revival."

The enlightened figures among the elites of the Ming Dynasty had broad minds and were used to good things in the world, whether science or skills, as long as they were the essence, they would be used as soon as they were used. They did not use them from the West, but were also intimidated by the Eastern Japanese.

Li Yanzhi has only learned boxing for more than a year, but has not yet learned swords. He was deeply impressed by this and asked again: "Then has Master Li lived in seclusion in this neighborhood for the past six months? Ah, brother, you will disappear every three days in recent months. I think you are going to find Master Li."

"Yes." Yu Dayou said: "Mr. Li is still in the back mountain. Because he wants to think carefully and he doesn't want to be disturbed, I didn't even tell you before, only a monk from Shaolin Temple in Putian practices against him. I go to the mountain every three days to deliver food to them, and also practices against him. I have reported to him about the preparation of the martial arts exam. He has recently reached an important point and is unwilling to walk around. I want to entrust you to take care of Mr. Li's daily life and ask you to send a reliable person to send them food to the mountain every three days. I didn't expect that yesterday when I came back from the mountain, I met you who held a banquet to see me off. Drunk and mislead people, and I almost forgot about this big thing!"

He immediately took Li Yanzhi into the mountain to pay homage to Li Liangqin. Li Liangqin heard Yu Dayou talk about Li Yanzhi's money and efforts to open the Zhige Pavilion, and he had a good impression of him, but he was silent by nature and did not say anything extra when he saw Li Yanzhi.

After Yu Dayou left, Li Yanzhi took Wu Niu or Fu Yuan into the mountain every three days to give Li Liangqin and the Shaolin monk a basket of food, but they were all white rice, cooked vegetables and fresh fruits, and nothing else. After the two sides met, they basically had nothing to say, and Li Yanzhi was afraid of disturbing their practice and dared not speak nonsense. Occasionally, they saw them practicing fencing, and Li Yanzhi stood and watched. Li Liangqin and the Shaolin monk were not surprised, just thinking they were transparent.

Li Yan kept his mouth shut and quit Wu Niu, so Fu Yuan would not be able to reveal this matter, so no one in the whole family knew about it.

On this day, Fu Yuan, Lin Xiaoqiu and Li Jie were still escorting the goods before they returned. Wu Niu escorted Li Yanzhi's mother to Wuyi Mountain to sautumn. The eldest brother Li Gang was in Cangxia again. Li Yanzhi thought about going into the mountain tomorrow, but he couldn't find a companion. He first thought of the housekeeper Jia who was on duty for the past two days. However, because he was old and afraid that Li Liangqin would not like him, he eliminated him and thought of Wang Erbiao.

Because Wang Erbiao had been a bandit, the neighbors in the village were still a little worried about him, so they lived in a tiled house on the other side of Xihou Village to wait for dispatch. The tiled house had never been here. This day, and the dozen or so people in the house were surprised and even a little panicked. After Li Yan entered the room, he saw that the bed mat was not in order, and there was a bowl that had just been settled in the corner. There was a lust rolling beside the bowl, so he guessed that the people in the room were gambling just now. When he looked at Wang Erbiao's subordinates, he saw that they were all in a uncertain eyes and shook their heads gently, but he didn't say anything, and just asked where Wang Erbiao was.

"Biao...Brother Biao is not here." Wang Erbiao's deputy Cui Bing stammered for a long time, but Li Yan kept shouting: "What! Has he gone to commit crime again?"

Cui Bingcai blurted out: "Brother Biao, he went to find Doctor Jia."

Li Yanzhi shook his head again dissatisfiedly, thinking: "After Brother Yu left, these people were less controlled, and they all became loose! Go back and rectify the group of people! Re-correct the rules of the military camp!" He went back to Li's house and found Doctor Jia, but he said: "Erbiao, I've been here just now, but I'm leaving."

Li Yan snorted, "It's strange, I don't know what you are doing!" It was dusk at this time, and he thought, "Anyway, there are no beasts and bandits on the back mountain, so why not ask Su Mei to accompany me and take the opportunity to relax." When he walked to Su Mei's door, he was about to knock on the door and opened the door, but he just fainted. Su Mei shouted in the door: "What are you doing! Go out! Go out!" Li Yan was stunned for a moment and quickly pushed open the door, but saw Su Mei sitting on a chair next to the shrine. Wang Erbiao knelt on the ground, hugging Su Mei's feet, Su Mei reached out to slap him, but he didn't fight back, stretched out his feet, but kicked him, so he shouted angrily: "If you don't go out again, I'll call someone!"

Wang Erbiao said: "Even if you ask someone to come, I will..."

Li Yanzhi said coldly: "How are you?"

Su Mei was shocked, and Wang Erbiao jumped up even more frightened. When he turned around, he saw that it was Li Yanzhi, and his face suddenly appeared fierce. Li Yanzhi said angrily: "What are you doing here!" For a moment, he forgot that he was still a child under ten years old, and Wang Erbiao was a bandit who had surrendered for less than a year!

But Wang Erbiao suffered a loss under Li Yanzhi and was also a master and servant. He was suppressed by his aura for a while and was so scared that he fled in a hurry. Li Yanzhi asked Su Mei: "Sister, what's going on?" (To be continued)
