Chapter 8 Like a God(1/2)
After a rainy night, there will always be a day when the sun shines brightly. Now, the sun has not yet risen this morning, and the east has turned white.
As soon as Wuling woke up, he heard a sound of swords dancing outside the temple.
"Someone is practicing sword?"
Wuling suddenly became energetic.
At the same time, the beams and spider webs on the roof that caught my eye also made Wu Ling realize that he was no longer in the Wu Prince's Mansion.
Wuling looked around and the bonfire in the temple was still vigorous. Looking at the thick wooden ash on the fire, it was obvious that someone was constantly adding dry firewood last night, keeping the fire inextinguishable to resist the autumn coolness.
Needless to say, Wuling also knew that this was done by Xu Shan, who was practicing swordsmanship outside the temple.
Xu Shan's attitude of practicing sword made Wu Ling embarrassed to lie down again. He stretched out his bones and wanted to get up, but found a sensation of soreness all over his body.
It was a bit uncomfortable for him to lie down on the floor and sleep on his first time.
Wu Ling stood up and looked at the straw wrapped around his body and hair. He was a little glad that there were not many people in the temple last night. Just by looking at the straw on his body, his sleeping position last night was probably very ugly.
At the same time, Wuling was also glad that there was no fire in the fire.
Wu Ling took off the straw, sorted out his appearance, picked up the King's Sword and Sword Box, and planned to go outside the door to see Xu Shan practice swords, and give Chen Dou some food.
When going out, Wuling took a lighter pace to avoid disturbing Xushan.
After a heavy rain overnight, the yellow mud at the entrance of the temple had been poured through the rain, and it became mud that could fall into half a shoe after stepping on it.
For this reason, Xu Shan had taken off his shoes and lifted up his half-tipped trouser legs at this moment.
After early practice, the loess ground had footprints, clear five fingers, obvious depth, and more places to step on, it turned into a mud flat, and Xu Shan's trousers were already stained with a lot of mud and water.
Judging from Xu Shan’s posture, it means that it is a bit like wind and rain.
Xu Shan practiced so much that Wuling came out of the temple and did not find any.
Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he obviously got up very early to practice swordsmanship.
Wuling did not disturb him, nor did he rush to deliver food to Chen Dou, but stopped and leaned against the temple gate, focusing on watching the scene.
Wuling has always had a hobby, which is to watch others practice swordsmanship.
At first, this hobby was because Wu Po Shuo did not allow Wu Ling to practice swords, so he had to watch others practice swords and try to write down everything others have learned so that he could learn swords in the future and could catch up with others.
Whether it is the casual waving of a child who just took a sword or the graceful dance of a sword girl, Wuling can watch it all day long.
The sword technique that Xu Shan practiced was not the basic sword technique of King Wu’s Mansion.
Wuling could see this at a glance.
The basic sword technique of King Wu’s Mansion is a big opening and a big combination, and it emphasizes courage and progress. Because of this, it is often called a sword technique.
In fact, it is not just the Wuwang Mansion, but the sword techniques of the entire Wu Kingdom are basically the same.
The swordsmen of each country have different pursuits for swordsmanship, which has led to the different swordsmanship that are popular in each country, each with its own local style, and this also verifies the words of the people in one country.
Xu Shan's sword is a thin sword. The sword technique in his hand is like drizzle and continuous, which is very different from the sword technique popular in Wu Kingdom, but is more similar to the sword technique popular in Yu Kingdom.
Although Wuling has practiced swords for nearly two years since he was a child and has not made much achievements in his own swordsmanship, he has seen many people practicing swords. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has seen countless people. After just a while, Wuling discovered Xu Shan’s problem.
Xu Shan is introverted and steady, and is diligent. Because of this, the sword technique in his hand is airtight and continuous under the hundreds of times he practices.
But this sword technique is not what it means to express.
This sword technique emphasizes lightness and changeability, so as to win, it is not as smooth and gentle as Xu Shan practiced.
If you use this sword technique like Xu Shan, the power will be at least half the discount.
It can be said that this sword technique is not suitable for Xu Shan.
The reason for this is somewhat related to Xu Shan's personality.
After practicing sword skills five times, Xu Shan picked up a sword flower and stopped practicing. Practicing this sword skills five times a day is a must-do task for Xu Shan. His talent is not good, and he can only make up for his shortcomings by diligence.
If you want to become a coachman in the royal palace, in addition to observing your expression and driving a carriage, martial arts are also essential.
In recent years, Xushan has traveled around the world with the Wu Prince's Mansion. He has encountered bandits or assassins who blocked the road and robbed the road. It is precisely through his hard practice of swordsmanship that he has good skills that he has escaped danger.
The sword technique I practice now is a trip with King Wu and met bandits in the Yu Kingdom. After the King Wu's mansion wiped out the bandits, he found them in the bandits' nest. Xu Shan was injured in the battle, and King Wu then rewarded him with the sword technique as a reward.
People often say that there are three realms of practicing a set of sword techniques, namely, familiar with sword moves, flexible use and simplification of complexity.
After three years of practice, Xu Shan is already familiar with this swordsmanship.
As for whether it has reached the point of being flexible, Xu Shan doesn't know. He has never used this sword technique to compete or fight with others.
When I was a child, I saw others practicing swords and remembering sword moves with all my heart, which made Wuling’s memory good. After watching Xu Shan practice it once, I had already remembered all the sword moves.
Wuling said to Xu Shan: "Brother Xu, did you get up so early to practice swords?"
Xu Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It makes the young master laugh."
Wuling quipped, "You don't blame me for learning secretly."
Xu Shan scratched his head and said, "Young Master is joking! Sword skills can not be remembered by just one or two glances. Besides, sword skills are rewarded by the royal palace, so you can tell at any time if you want to learn them."
Wuling asked, "What do Brother Xu think of this sword technique?"
“It’s complicated and difficult to practice!”
Xu Shan blurted out without thinking.
In order to practice this swordsmanship, Xu Shan suffered a lot.
Especially when I first started practicing, I often forgot the next set of sword moves while practicing. I need to read the sword script more than a dozen times. In the first three months, if I didn’t read the sword script, Xu Shan could not practice the sword technique from beginning to end.
If it were ordinary people, they would have given up on practicing.
Wuling said seriously: "Brother Xu, come and see how I practiced!"
Wuling put the sword box aside, then took off his shoes and walked naked to the open space. The cold mud and water wrapped around the soles of his feet made people feel relaxed and happy.
Wuling inserted the sword sheath of the King and Hou Jian obliquely to the ground, and then slowly pulled out the King and Hou Jian.
This was the first time that the sword of the King and Hou fell into Wuling's hands, the sword body was completely unsheathed.
Wu Ling put the sword in front of him and looked at his eyes along the smooth blade of the sword body.
With eyes facing each other, Wu Ling let out a light breath, holding the sword's hand, and began to hold it tightly at this moment. The sun just rising in the east, a ray of morning light shone on the sword, and the light rose sharply.
The sword moved with him, and Wuling bent and swept out the sword in his hand.
At first, Wuling made a sword smoothly, but as he practiced, the speed of sword moves changed faster and faster. After a while, Wuling was immersed in sword practice, as if he was the only one left in the world.
For a moment, the temple kept flashing with the sunlight reflected by the sword body.
Although the body is slightly slow, the change of moves is not reduced at all, and almost the sword is in place.
This scene stunned Xu Shan.
Wuling has always been synonymous with easy-to-talk in the Wuwang Mansion. It is not a secret that Wu Pufu did not allow Wuling to learn swords in the Wuwang Mansion.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Wuling is a weak scholar, including Xu Shan, who also thinks so.
And Wuling in front of him did not look like he could not know how to do swords at all.
If it weren't for watching Wuling grow up, Xu Shan would have suspected that Wuling in front of him would be fake.
Chen Dou in the carriage looked at everything at the temple gate with interest.
Every move of Wuling was seen in Xu Shan's eyes. The move standards were incredible, but Chen Dou saw many problems at a glance.
Wuling's body is obviously unable to keep up with his brain today.
This is a matter of talent.
If Wu Pu Shu and Jiang Minyue came, they looked at Xu Shan practicing swordsmanship and then used it themselves, they would never be like this.
When ordinary people practice swords, the first step is to find a way to record all the sword moves in the sword book. The first step for geniuses is to consider the sword techniques recorded in the sword book. What they want to express is whether they are fast, accurate, clever, and changeable, or open and close, that is, the sword power.
This can be done with Wuling's intelligence.
The clever and changeable sword technique has been used in Wuling's hands.
But that's all.
Because the body cannot keep up with the changes in my mind, Wuling cannot practice sword skills for the first time, so he shows the charm and artistic conception of practicing swordsmanship.
This is the talent gap between Wuling and Wu Po Shuo Jiang Minyue.
A person's cultivation talent is divided into mind and body.
The so-called mind refers to mental power, also called divine thoughts, which arise from the divine soul.
The stronger the mental power, the smarter the person. The most basic benefit is that both learning ability, observation ability and thinking ability are different from ordinary people.
Ordinary geniuses only have one of them, while real geniuses have both.
Of course, Wuling's talent is pretty good. After all, Wu Shuo and his wife are the most talented person Chen Dou has ever met.
He is so talented that even Chen Dou is envious.
After practicing a complete set of sword techniques, Wu Ling's face was covered with sweat.
However, from the moment the sword was unsheathed, the smile on Wuling's mouth never disappeared.
