Chapter 9 Dispelling Confusion(1/2)
"Yes, there are four people who have achieved a small sword technique this time."
The old man stepped in and sat down.
Tao Jinglu is one of the elders of the Tao clan.
"Uncle."
Tao Ye took the lead in delivering a gift.
Her grandfather is the village chief, and she knows all these tribe elders.
"I've met my uncle."
After Tao Ye, the three of them saluted at the same time.
"Tao Ye, you didn't lose your grandfather's face! The thirteen-year-old general Liefeng sword technique has reached a small achievement, and he is almost catching up with your sister Tao Jin."
Tao Jinglu praised Tao Ye first, then looked at Tao Qingfeng: "Are you Tao Qingfeng?"
"Yes, uncle."
Tao Qingfeng nodded in response.
Although he is not very old, his tone is confident, which makes Tao Ye unable to help but take a look.
This is the confidence that you have in your heart when you grow up in a praise-filled environment.
"The young man is so terrifying..."
Tao Jinglu obviously also knew the talent of this young man before.
The clan elders attach great importance to the young geniuses in the clan.
The prosperity of Taojiazhuang in the future was entirely related to these young geniuses.
"Who are you?"
Tao Jinglu looked at another person Xu Ning didn't know.
"Uncle, I am Tao Qingping."
Tao Qingping looked about the same age as Xu Ning, and his talent was incomparable to Tao Ye and Tao Qingfeng. He seemed a little nervous in front of Tao Jinglu, the clan elder.
"oh……"
Tao Jinglu nodded, obviously not taking Tao Qing calmly.
He looked at Xu Ning again: "What's your name?"
Tao Jinglu was extremely unfamiliar with Xu Ning.
"Uncle, my name is Xu Ning."
Xu Ning responded.
"Xu Ning?"
Tao Jing Road was obviously a little surprised.
There are very few people from the Tao family's foreign surname, and even fewer people can practice the Liefeng sword technique to a small success.
This is very rare for Xu Ning to have a situation.
"A person with a foreign surname..." Tao Jinglu rolled his eyes and thought, "Whose family are you?"
"Go back to my uncle, my brother-in-law is Tao Yunchuan."
Xu Ning responded truthfully.
"Tao Yunchuan..."
Tao Jinglu was thinking again, and it was obvious that he was not familiar with this name.
Tao Jinglu paused for a moment and asked again: "How old are you? Are you practicing marksmanship or swordsmanship?"
"Seventeen, I practiced the Fierce Wind Sword Technique."
Xu Ning answered truthfully.
"Seventeen..."
Tao Jinglu's expression did not change much: "It's not bad..."
He thought Xu Ning had just practiced the Liefeng sword technique to a small success.
Young people in Taojiazhuang start their martial arts practice at the age of twelve years old, fourteen years old, and seventeen years old, are not outstanding in talent no matter how good they are.
Xu Ning obviously understood that Tao Jinglu had a deviation in his assessment.
But after thinking about it, Xu Ning didn't explain.
That would seem quite deliberate.
Afterwards, Tao Jinglu no longer asked a few questions, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be too slow. You are anxious. I will teach you my internal strength now."
As soon as Tao Jinglu said this, the four of them lit up at the same time.
The same is true for Tao Ye. Although she is the granddaughter of the clan leader, her grandfather never let her get in touch with her internal skills in advance, and she is also full of expectations.
With the expectant eyes of several people, Tao Jinglu got up and walked to the compartment behind the lobby.
After a while, Tao Jinglu walked out.
At this time, he was holding a few booklets and a few pages of paper in his hand.
"This is the internal strength you are thinking about!"
Tao Jinglu smiled and handed the booklets to the four of them.
Xu Ning took it last and glanced at him.
There are three big characters printed on the cover - Spring Breeze Art.
"Is this internal strength..."
A look of expectation appeared in Xu Ning's eyes.
He slowly opened the cover page and quickly browsed a few pages.
The content of the Spring Breeze Sketch is composed of words and some human body pictures, and the content of the exercises is relatively detailed.
Although it is difficult for ordinary people to learn writing in this era, as a Dazhuangzi, the Zhuangmin of Taojiazhuang began to learn to learn literacy when he was young.
Although Xu Ning was not in Taojiazhuang as a child, he learned basic writing from Guo Ye in the three years after his settlement.
Guo Ye gave his predecessor a lot of help.
"Uncle."
Tao Ye first happily flipped the Spring Breeze Technique for a few pages, then seemed to realize something, and asked, "Did this Spring Breeze Technique be passed on to people in the village in this way before?"
“It’s always been like this.”
Tao Jinglu nodded.
Tao Ye frowned slightly between his eyebrows: "I remember grandpa said that internal skills are the foundation of martial arts. The taught person obtains the internal skills album so simply. What if it is leaked?"
Xu Ning listened to the news and felt that Tao Ye Man was reasonable.
Taking myself as an example, after obtaining this picture book, if I want to teach it to others outside the Tao family village, the village cannot stop it at all.
Tao Jinglu laughed and explained: "It is true that internal strength is martial arts at all, but it is not a precious thing."
"Without Zhuangzi, no matter who it is, if you have the intention to practice martial arts, it is not difficult to obtain an internal skill. The internal skill map can be bought in Kangyun County. You can buy it with silver."
"this……"
Tao Ye was obviously very surprised.
"But, since the internal skills and mental methods are so popular, why does the village still restrict us and not let us get in touch with internal skills without practicing the Liefeng Sword Technique to a small success?"
Tao Ye asked again.
Tao Jingludao: "I am afraid that you will be too ambitious when I am not allowed to get in touch with internal skills in advance. Moreover, if you are a beginner in martial arts, internal skills may not be practical as external skills."
"For a newcomer who has no foundation in martial arts, the combat power that can be achieved through a small success is stronger than the ability to practice an internal skill to the first level of the physical realm. The difference between internal skill and external skill is not big in the early stage, but it will only appear obvious in the later stage."
"And, the difficulty of practicing internal skills is far higher than that of external skills. If a person cannot even achieve a small success in one external skills, then his talent and perseverance are not enough to open the road to internal skills."
"These are the reasons why Zhuang Nei asked you to practice external skills first and then internal skills."
Tao Ye nodded and thoughtful when he heard this.
Tao Jinglu's words explained Tao Ye's doubts, and at the same time made several people understand the difference between internal and external skills.
"What, is there any problem?"
Tao Jinglu seems to be very patient with the younger generations.
"Uncle, I have another question."
This time the person who spoke was Tao Qingfeng.
"You talk."
