On the last page of the sword manual, there is a picture of steel armor drawn. See the latest chapter
Armor is mostly used by soldiers in battle formations, but not many people in the martial arts world use it. Moreover, even if they wear it, it is mostly leather armor. Almost everyone wears steel armor. This is because metal armor is very heavy and heavy, and it is a bit cumbersome to wear it on the body. For defensive purposes, it will greatly affect the performance of Qinggong and the agility and flexibility of the attack. For those with excellent martial arts, armor piercing is often not worth the gain.
Among the martial arts masters who wear heavy metal armor, except for Hu Liuyang, who is a naturally gifted monster with supernatural power, it is difficult to find anyone else.
Looking at the armor painted on the last page of this sword manual, it does not cover the whole body like Hu Liuyang's bronze armor, but only consists of a round helmet to protect the head, and a breastplate to protect the front and shoulders. However, According to Hua Bushi's estimation, this armor made of fine steel would weigh about ten kilograms.[
After briefly flipping through the booklet, Hua Bushi began to carefully study the moves in the sword technique.
This "Hexing Wheel Sword Technique" has only twelve moves in total, of which ten are offensive, but only two are defensive. Hua Dihu explains the moves in detail and clearly in the sword manual, and each move has six Seven pages long, it can be seen that these moves were created after careful research by him.
Having seen the previous three and four moves, Hua Bushi already knew the characteristics of this "Crane-Xing Wheel Sword Technique", and he was so impressed by his second uncle Hua Dihu's ingenuity that he began to believe in his second uncle Hua Dihu's ingenuity. My uncle didn’t brag before.
The power of this sword technique is even greater than that of the "Seven Swords of Qingyun".
In terms of moves: "Crane Wheel Sword" is mostly derived from "White Crane Soaring Palm". This palm technique was obtained by Hua Bushi from Sun Qiaoyun. It is the ancestral martial arts of the Sun family. Sun Qiaoyun's adoptive father Sun Duhe was in He is an official in the capital and is known as the top master in the imperial capital. He relies on this palm technique, which shows how powerful this palm technique is.
Like all the best martial arts: "White Crane Soaring Palm" has high requirements for practitioners' qualifications, and it is extremely difficult to practice without decades of hard work. In order to solve this problem, Hua Dihu came up with two ideas. One Therefore, if you use a knife instead of a palm, people who have no foundation in internal skills will not be able to have enough lethality when attacking with flesh palms. It is impossible for people with ordinary qualifications to practice internal skills. If you use a short knife instead of a palm, you can use the sharp edge of the weapon. blade to make up for the lack of internal strength.
No wonder the two daggers painted at the back of the sword manual are thick and wide, and were originally made to imitate human palms.
The second idea is the purpose of the steel armor: "White Crane Soaring Palm" is an outer martial arts of the Southern School. Most of the moves include shoulder collisions, elbow strikes and other means, so you need to practice hard skills, and This also has high requirements on the qualifications of practitioners. In order to solve this problem, Hua Dihu simply asked sword practitioners to wear steel armor instead of practicing hard skills. Although this will sacrifice some flexibility and agility, it is not a feasible way. .
Hua Bushi looked at the moves one by one, but felt that although the sword skills were not difficult or complicated, most of them were simple and direct, but they were all moves that forced him to get close to the opponent and attack closely, and all the moves were dangerous. The method: "White Crane Soaring Palm" has many moves. Hua Dihu probably improved the most ferocious close combat moves among the palms, and created this sword weapon. Even if you only saw these moves from the brochure Hua Bushi also gasped when he saw the map, which was quite horrifying.
The so-called "one inch short, one inch dangerous" means that since you are using a short blade that is only about a foot long, you must take risks to bully your opponent in order to win. However, these moves take this word "danger" to the extreme. What do you think? Every move he made was to risk his life, to die together with his opponent, but after Hua Bushi carefully studied it, he found that these moves were very clever. If used skillfully and properly, he would definitely be able to kill his opponent, and he would be able to kill his opponent. Just some minor injuries.
Hua Dihu is indifferent by nature and pursues fame and wealth in the world, but he is extremely obsessed with martial arts. He is born as timid as a mouse, but never wants to fight with others. When encountering danger, he will run away. He often says that he wants to gain fame and gain fame. It's not worth risking your life to win, but the sword technique created by this second uncle, who puts safety first in everything, is just about taking risks and risking one's life, showing his murderous intention, which is completely opposite to his personality.
Martial arts is the way of the brave. Even if a timid person is afraid of death, no matter how high his cultivation level is, he may not be able to defeat those who dare to take risks and risk his life. Hua Dihu knows this very well. Although he is obsessed with Martial Arts may have never seriously fought with someone's life in this life, and perhaps he wanted to use this alternative method to express the courage he had deep in his heart.
However, although this kind of sword technique does not have high requirements on the physical fitness of the practitioner, it does require a lot of courage. If one does not have the courage to fight the enemy to the death, the moves in this sword technique will definitely be If you can't use it, even if you use it reluctantly, as long as you hesitate a little, you will not only be unable to kill people, but will be killed by the enemy.
Since the main purpose of swordsmanship is to take risks and fight for life, most of them are offensive moves, so it is natural that there are only two defensive moves.
After reading the Twelve Styles of Sword Techniques, Hua Bushi began to study the sword formations contained in the next five pages. The "Qingyun Sword Formation" created by Huaqing Master was not small in power, but it was very complicated, with countless variations. It would take hundreds of pages to record them all, but the sword formation created by Hua Dihu only has five pages.
The name of this sword formation is also very crude, it is called "Tiger Fighting Formation".
The "Qingyun Sword Formation" consists of seven people forming a small formation, and the seven small formations can form a large formation, arranged according to the trend of the Big Dipper. The "Tiger Fighting Formation" does not have so much emphasis on the few. People can form an array, up to a hundred people, and the positioning is even simpler. In fact, it is the most common square array.
There are only eight changes in the "Tiger Fighting Formation". In addition to turning forward and retreating, there are only three attack and killing methods: tiger pounce, tiger bite, and tiger stab. It is not complicated at all. However, Hua Bushi studied it carefully and found out very quickly I soon discovered that although this formation looked crude, once it was used with the "Crane Rotary Knife", it was not simple at all.
Hua Dihu is not good at metaphysics such as the Five Elements and Bagua, but the sword formation he created was an improvement from the military formation where large groups of people and horses fight and kill.[
The Hua family originally started from the underworld. Whether it is Hua Tianxiong or Hua Dihu, they are certainly not as knowledgeable as the martial arts masters of the famous sects. Although Hua Qingzhenren can turn the stars into formation changes, Hua Dihu is not. This ability, however, when it comes to group fights, brawls and killings, is a common occurrence for underworld masters like them. The amount they have seen is far less than that of the masters on the white path.
In a group fight, bravery is the most important: the purpose of the "Tiger Fighting Formation" is just to combine the impact power of the people in the formation. Although the change is simple, it is easy to use and learn, and the "Crane Rotary Knife" is originally This is a life-threatening sword technique. If dozens or hundreds of people use this sword technique to fight for their lives, I am afraid that no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not be able to withstand the impact of the "Tiger Fighting Formation".
"Qingyun Sword Technique" relies on complex and ingenious changes to win. Although the power is not small, if the people forming the formation are injured or lost, the changes in the formation will be unsustainable. On that day, Yue Hanshan rushed into the formation, and it was like a continuous attack. He injured several people with his swords: "Qingyun Formation" was almost broken by him.
The "Tiger Fighting Formation" is different. It is best at group fights. Because the changes are simple, the number of people in the formation is also limited. Even if there are casualties, the formation will not cause any serious problems. In other words: "Tiger Fighting Formation" Just like the "Crane Wheel Sword", it is also a method of risking one's life. As long as the formation is set, one can fight from hundreds of people to the last person.
Having only read the map once, Hua Bushi could already feel the ferocity of this formation. Of course, how powerful this formation can be can only be known through actual combat.
Hua Bushi studied the sword manuals and formations recorded in the booklet, and two hours passed unknowingly. It was not until the sky outside became completely dark that he could no longer see the words in the book clearly. After reading the book, I was still thinking about how to recruit people, train the war department, and put this sword technique and formation into practice.
After a long time, the young master calmed down and put the sword manual back into his arms, but his fingers touched something sexy. Then he suddenly remembered that there was one more thing that needed to be done, which was to go to the city lord. The government broke off the engagement and returned Panlongjue to "Wanjintang".
Although Hua Bushi had spoken easily to Hua Tianxiong before and promised to resolve the matter properly so that his father would not lose face, but now that he really wants to do it, he is quite embarrassed.
After thinking about it, he decided to go to the city lord's palace immediately and return the jade. At the worst, he could apologize and say something nice, which would also save him a long night and a lot of dreams, and things would change again.
So Hua Bushi straightened his clothes and immediately got up and went out.
The Veitian Tower was not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Hua Bushi rode his horse and arrived in a moment. It was already dark, but lanterns and torches were lit inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion, making it very bright.
Hua Bushi has been here almost every day these days. The "Wanjintang" disciples guarding outside the gate saw him coming, and without asking, they bowed and gave way. The young master walked directly into the gate and came to the front hall. .
The candlesticks placed on the four walls of the front hall were all lit with candles and the lights were bright. When Hua Bushi walked in the door, there was only one person in the room, the eldest lady Sima Rulan, while Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao were nowhere to be seen.
According to Hua Bushi's original plan, he would find Chai Lin or Yao Yuanxiao, explain the matter in private, say some more words of apology, return Panlong Jue to them, and then the matter would be settled. But who would have thought that this would happen. The two elders were all absent, but he was a little at a loss.
Although Hua Bushi and Sima Rulan had been getting along for a long time and were very familiar with each other, he knew that there was something wrong with him saying that he wanted to break off the engagement in front of the girl.
