Chapter 37: The body is full of yin and yang;
"You have a good look at how I exercise my strength. It's easy to learn tricks, but it's hard to find strength!!"
Taoist Mu practiced again, threw away the small branch in his hand, pinched the sword finger and slowly stepped forward. After pressing, the speed was obviously not fast, but his fingers let out a snarl in the air until the force was exhausted. There was still a strong wind storming in front of his fingertips, blowing on his face, and passing by three feet away. Bai Ze felt a pain in his cheek, as if he had been cut by a real sharp sword.
"The wonderfulness of internal swordsmanship lies in the word Yin and Yang! I tell you that this genre of kung fu, whether it is boxing or swordsmanship, you must be slow and quiet when practicing. Be sure to drive the qi and blood around the body to move at any time, breathing slowly and long, as if there were no, but when used, fighting with life and death, it is the fastest and most sharp in the world. Why does this happen? It is also because of the division of yin and yang. As the saying goes, there is yin and yang everywhere in a person's body, with upper and lower, inner and outer, front and back, left and right, reverse reincarnation. Even if one punch and one sword are used, it will exert all the strength of the whole body, without restraint. When this move is used, the yin and yang are born, and the yang and yin are born, then it will be the second move. You only need to turn your waist and hips in the middle, and you will naturally hit wherever you want."
"When practicing sword, you have to find the strength in Yin and Yang. Once you find it, you have practiced it. Okay, I have already told you this sword washing technique as much as you can. You can practice it slowly. In three days, I will teach you the remaining sword techniques." After Mu Dao Ren finished teaching, he still returned to the hut to meditate. He ignored Bai Ze and could not do anything.
So for the next three days, Bai Ze was thinking about what the Taoist said every day, and he carefully pondered it word by word, but the sword technique of sword washing is easy to practice, but the method of using force is extremely difficult to master. When holding the big sword in his hand, it is better, and the sword can move with the will, point, press, pick, stick, and play well.
But if you don’t use the sword, you will pinch it into a sword finger like a Taoist, no matter how he practices, you will not be able to point out the momentum like a real sword like a Taoist.
On the third day, when Taoist walked out of the hut, Bai Ze asked this question without any concealment.
However, after hearing this, Taoist Mu actually laughed loudly, "You kid is too impatient. You just learned how to leave and want to run away. You have only been learning sword for a few days and want to shoot out sword energy with your bare hands. That's not bad. You must know that sword technique only has three levels: shape, energy, and spirit. The shape is the skill outside, and the qi is the sport inside. The peak of the sword is sword energy. Practice sword energy. Even if you don't have a sword in your hand, plants, trees, bamboo and stone can cut iron like mud. With your current skill, it is too far apart, and it is different from the world and the mud."
"It turns out that there is really a skill in sword energy in this world!" Bai Ze was a little stunned when he heard it, and couldn't help but it itched: "Shaped sword, what is the magic of Qi sword?"
"You have to ask yourself this. The old Taoist, I have master Yuan's sword skills, only the sword and the Qi sword. The last step is now in your head. When you can practice swords in the future, you will understand everything." Taoist Mu glared at Bai Ze fiercely, and seemed a little depressed.
"Sword skills are at the top of the art. It has never been passed down from generation to generation, and disciples are not allowed to find masters. Only masters can find disciples. You kid have a great opportunity... Forget it, let's not talk about these, I will teach you another sword technique today!"
The move that Taoist taught today is the "strike method" technique in swordsmanship. You can click up and down, hit left and right or flat. The tip of the sword hits to the side of the little finger is called "forward strike", and the end of the sword hits to the side of the thumb is called "counterattack".
"The attack method is the mother of fighting. When using the sword, it changes rapidly, almost covering many important methods in sword techniques from the Ming and Qing dynasties to this day. It is like chopping, stabbing, pricking, tweeting, pointing, breaking, hitting, cutting, and wiping. It is like cutting vertically and cutting horizontally. But if you want to summarize it simply in one sentence, it is to use one to three inches at the front of the sword blade (called three edges in ancient times) to quickly shake the wrist and use the strength to make it produce the above changes. When shaking the sword, it is like hitting a bell and chime."
In order to let Bai Ze see clearly, the Taoist took Bai Ze's sword this time and was not tired of it when practicing, and explained the various changes in the strike method in the sword technique clearly.
"Boy, please listen to me. Although the ancient swordsmanship includes chopping, chopping, collapse, twelfth, latching, washing, cutting, thorn, stirring, pressing, hanging, cloud, these twelve methods are actually included in the four swords of strike, stabbing, grid, and washing. The swordsmanship of our school has no routine, only loose hands, and after practicing sword techniques, swordsmanship is basically achieved. Then, practice qi every day, and the kung fu will naturally be stronger day by day. When Yuan Gong gave his sword to Emei, his disciples came out of the army and had to hold a sword weapon to hit the ape with a tree. Although the cliffs and towering ancient trees were towering, they had to go as far as flying, and use swords like the wind. I don't know how many people went up to the princes and became famous all over the world."
"Practice sword and prick monkeys on a tree, and use monkeys to practice swords." Bai Ze has heard of this statement. In recent years, he has encountered bottlenecks in practicing boxing. He has to use stones from other mountains to attack jade. I don't know how many documents about boxing and swordsmanship have been downloaded on the Internet. There are several articles specifically introducing the swordsmanship of the Wudang School, and there is a saying in it. It is said that when the kung fu became a thing of the mountain, the Shaolin disciple had to fight the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation, while the Wudang disciple had to jump on the tree with a small bamboo pole and stab a monkey. It sounds quite legendary. When Bai Ze saw this paragraph, he felt like he was reading a martial arts novel.
"Go up the tree, hit the ape...this..." Bai Ze looked up at the hemlock tree beside the pool. It was at least thirty or forty meters high, and the place closest to the ground was sixteen or seventeen meters. He couldn't help but touch his head: "How can you get up at this high...!"
"Idiot, there are so many places in the internal sword technique that originate from swords. The reason for the endless changes is that the sword moves with people. Once the footwork changes, the sword technique changes accordingly. In addition to the skill of the sword, the most important thing in the shape sword is body skills, especially the waist and legs. The Hou San who was beaten to death by you, went up a tree to chase monkeys when practicing monkey fist. If he can do it, you can't?"
"This is also said. There are always some exaggerations in the online and the ancients' statements. However, Hou San's body technique is really almost at its peak. It turns out that it is practiced by climbing trees to chase monkeys. No wonder he can practice monkey fist to the point of being both physical and spiritual!" Thinking of the various scenes when he fought with Hou San, Bai Ze also felt that it was indeed not impossible to get through the tree and stabbing monkeys with a sword.
Actually, to be serious, even if he didn't come to Mount Emei, with his leg skills, if he took a few steps back and had a buffer, using his hands and feet, it would be really not difficult to climb a big tree more than ten meters high in one breath.
Then when I got to the tree, there were branches to take advantage of the power. As long as I was bold and careful, I would not make any mistakes. After practicing for a while, I practiced my body skills as flexible as a monkey, and it was still very hopeful. But I should forget about that cliff or something. I looked up at the mountain walls that were almost ninety degrees above the corners. No matter how Bai Ze thought, I could not think of how this thing should walk like a flat ground, and it would be as flying as it was.
"Boy, swordsmanship is all about practicality, not something to show for people. Once you have achieved success, you will see blood when you draw a sword. You must kill one blow with one blow. Just as Li Taibai said, kill one person in ten steps, without leaving a thousand miles. There are many ways inside, and even I just entered the hall. The real swordsmanship is united with the divine will, and when the thoughts come true, the person dies..."
As Mu Taoist said, he suddenly stopped and changed the topic: "Okay, today I will tell you that there are only two uses of swordsmanship since ancient times, one is practicing, practicing swords and practicing qi, and the other is killing method. Don't look at the time when I demonstrated the attack method to you just now, the sword was slowly running slowly and the moves were very simple, but when it was time to draw the sword, the long sword attack contained many changes in strength in one move. It was definitely not something you can see in your eyes."
"Practice methods and killing methods! It sounds like blood. Is swordsman really used to kill people?" Bai Ze felt that he had followed the Taoist to practice swords these days, and every time he listened to his explanation, he shocked himself.
When practicing boxing, there are also sayings about practice, fighting and performance. Although boxing can also kill people, it is finally implicit, but when it comes to this, it is a naked "killing method", which summarizes the essence of swordsmanship clearly.
"When practicing swords, your spirit and thoughts must be transported to the sword weapon, listen, sense, and stabbed with one sword, and penetrated the tip of the sword. This is the unity of mind and energy in qi practice. There are the most attacks in swordsmanship, but the greatest power is the use of horizontal and vertical force, such as this move of "slashing" and "horizontal cutting".
Next, Taoist Mu held the sword and made two more moves, both of which were simply chopping up and down, and everything left and right, but the entire sword disappeared instantly, and there was no sign of the light. When he was instantly withdrawing the sword, a deep sword mark had already cracked on the ground, and the bushes more than ten steps away were all shorter.
When Bai Ze saw this, he felt more and more frightened. He felt that the Taoist's two swords were like the legendary flying sword, with sword energy flying, and it was even more than ten steps away.
"Where do someone stand there? Isn't it just to cut it into four slices based on Jianfeng?"
"If you learn to form a sword, then the sword energy will be prepared inside. In ancient times, swordsmen fought with swords, and fought not only with sword skills, but also with their own spirit. Look at Kong Konger, Jingyan, Nie Yinniang and others in Tang legend novels, known as swordsmen and sword immortals, they can raise their hands and wave their hands, open their mouths and spit out a white light, flying all over the room, and taking the heads and skulls are easy to turn their hands. This is actually the skill of Qi swordsman. During the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contend. Some novelists saw a skill of a swordsman using swords, but they didn't understand why, so they took it for granted and recorded it according to their own understanding. Over time, they spread rumors, which is what later generations call sword immortals."
"The sword itself is a stream of qi emitted. When practicing swords, the mind and mind always pay attention to the tip of the sword, and the elixir in the body will naturally rise and fall. After practicing for a long time and the fire is sufficient, the elixir will naturally penetrate the outside and attach to the sword. This itself is a high degree of unity between the three internal and three external combinations. The sword washing techniques and attack methods I have taught you these days are not only the trick of using the sword, but also the method of practicing qi. Every move can be used to grow essence and increase life. If you practice separately, you will definitely get half the result with twice the effort!"
"What is sex and what is fate?" Bai Ze frowned. The saying of life seems to be a Taoist term. He knows something but does not understand its essence.
"What is nature? The true nature of the Yuanshi is, and it is bright and bright. It means your spirit and thoughts." Mu Taoist pointed to Bai Ze's head, "Sex is your heart, your god, and your spiritual consciousness."
"What is the fate? The innate essence is the mist of energy. It is about your body, your vitality, and your form." As he said that, Taoist Mu gestured again, as if he wanted to say something more clearly, "The dual cultivation of life in Taoism in the Taoist school is about both body and spirit. When you practice swords, you are in the form of the outside, the energy storage and the inside..."
It took a lot of effort to explain the life theory to Bai Ze clearly. Then Mu Dao Ren stretched out three fingers and shook it: "It's still three days to practice this attack method. Next, I will pass on you, the spear method and the pattern method."
Bai Ze nodded and practiced tirelessly for three days. At night, he practiced Qi instead of sleep, and practiced the changes in the attack method one by one.
Especially when practicing this attack method, Bai Ze simply used the bushes in the valley to practice, up, down, left, right, and reverse, almost covering the movements of chopping, stabbing, pricking, twitching, pointing, breaking, hitting, and wiping. Each sword strives to be accurate and cut off a small leaf on the bushes in front below.
In this way, it is even more difficult when he practices. Often, after a few hours, the ligaments and muscles on his wrists are sore.
However, Bai Ze had the foundation of Qi Mei's sword movement in the first half of a month, and understood the method of using force when using the sword. When he took a sword, his muscles naturally trembled like flowing water, and he stretched and relaxed, which did not hurt him.
In this way, he practiced the strike method tens of thousands of times in three days, and finally he was able to be proficient in the movements, and the sword came out and the leaves fell.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------�
