Chapter 5: Santa’s Red Cloth Bag [Part 2]

The next day, early morning!

Zhang Yuan sat up from the bed with a "huh" sound, his eyes widened and his breathing was rapid. He had just had a nightmare and dreamed that the Christmas reindeer hit his body and spitted blood into his mouth. Then the Christmas reindeer raised his hooves and wanted to trample on him. However, just when the Christmas reindeer's hooves were about to step on him, he suddenly woke up.

"Huh! Damn it! I actually had a nightmare!" Zhang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his emotions, then got out of bed and put on his clothes, put on his shoes, then opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.

At this time, Qingqing was drying clothes in the yard. When she saw Zhang Yuan walking out of the bedroom, she immediately stopped her work, saluted and said, "Young Master, good morning."

"Yeah, it's early." Zhang Yuan replied, stretched his body, and then continued, "Why did you get up so early? You still wash so much clothes?"

"Young Master, the weather is getting colder. I found all the long clothes that the young master wants to wear. All these clothes have to be washed, otherwise there will be a musty smell." Qingqing replied.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Yuan replied, then walked to the center of the courtyard, moved his fists and feet, then set off and started to fight the ganhe box. After the two sets of ganhe box, his bones loosened and his spirit also came up. He looked at the wooden stick in the corner of the wall, and his hands were itchy, so he picked up the wooden stick again, used the stick instead of the gun, and tried several times to complete the shot.

When Zhang Yuan finished the fourth round of the shooting, Yuting walked out of the kitchen and called out, "Young Master, breakfast is ready."

Zhang Yuan stopped shooting, threw the wooden stick in the corner, and said, "Please bring breakfast to the stone table in the yard. I am used to eating in the yard, and the room is too boring."

"Okay, young master." Yuting responded, then walked into the kitchen. After a moment, Yuting walked out of the kitchen with a tray, then placed the food on the stone table in the yard, and Zhang Yuan sat on the stone bench in front of the stone table and began to enjoy today's breakfast.

The breakfast made by Yuting was made according to Zhang Sihu's instructions, a bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, a small pancake and two cooked eggs. It has to be said that Yuting's cooking skills are better than Zhang Sihu. A simple breakfast made with all the colors, fragrance and flavor, which greatly increased the appetite. So Zhang Yuan ate the breakfast in a blink of an eye.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Yuan stayed in the study for a while, read the "Shenhe Heart Sutra" several times, and tried to recite and verbally write the "Shenhe Heart Sutra". It was not until around 8 o'clock in the morning that he left the courtyard and walked towards his second brother Zhang Chong's courtyard...

Before leaving the study, he took off the watch. It was nothing that the servants saw, because the servants would not ask, but if the second brother found the watch, they would inevitably be questioned or even "borrowed". Of course, Zhang Yuan did not feel sorry for a watch, but was afraid of causing trouble.

It is better to have less trouble than more trouble. If you can avoid causing trouble, of course you cannot cause trouble yourself.

When Zhang Yuan came to Zhang Chong's courtyard, Zhang Chong was holding a dagger to peel wood. Zhang Yuan entered the door and said, "Second brother, what are you doing?"

"Sharpen two wooden swords and I will teach you the Sword Technique of the Wind later." Zhang Chong said while cutting the wood.

"Sword Technique of the Rising Wind? Didn't you say that you should practice the marksmanship first and then teach me the sword technique?" Zhang Yuan asked in a question.

"I will go to Hongtu City the day after tomorrow. After I leave, everyone in my family will be busy, so I can still care about you. So before I leave, I will teach you the sword technique first, and then tell you the "Shenhe Heart Sutra". You can practice by yourself after that." Zhang Chong said.

"You're leaving so urgent?" Zhang Yuan said in surprise.

"The time for the second uncle's uprising is approaching, so we must be anxious." Zhang Chong said.

"..." Zhang Yuan nodded, and did not say anything else, and Zhang Chong did not say anything. Instead, he quickly cut the wood with a dagger, cut two wooden swords in ten minutes, and then threw them to Zhang Yuan and said, "Okay, you can see how many sword moves I practice first, and then I will teach you one by one."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan responded, and Zhang Chong nodded to Zhang Yuan, then held the sword in his right hand and started the hand gesture, and then started to brush it one by one. This sword move is not gorgeous at all, it is simple, and most of the moves are straightforward...

"This is the first time. In order to let you see clearly, I slowed down my speed just now. I now start practicing swords at normal speed. You can see clearly. What is our Zhang family's Qifeng Sword Technique like!" After Zhang finished speaking, he held the sword in his right hand and stabbed forward like a storm. Then he turned his body and turned his body into a sword curtain, like lotus flowers. He turned his body, and his sword turned, and his footsteps rushed back and forth or retreat...

"Last move! Drink!" Zhang Chong suddenly shouted, his sword body turned, aimed at Zhang Yuan's forehead, and suddenly stabbed, finally stopped in front of Zhang Yuan's forehead, and Zhang Yuan felt a feeling of trembling and chilling arise from his forehead...

"..." Zhang Yuan's forehead was sweating. With the sword just now, he almost thought that his head would be pierced.

"Haha, this is our Zhang family's Qifeng Sword Technique. How do you feel?" Zhang Chong asked with a smile.

"At the beginning, you practiced slowly, and it felt very simple, straightforward, but as soon as you accelerated, I felt dazzled and saw only a large number of sword shadows. It was so amazing!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Our Zhang family's Qifeng Sword Technique focuses on the word "fast". This sword technique was created by our ancestors on the battlefield. On the battlefield, either you kill me or I kill you. Therefore, this Qifeng Sword Technique is a fast sword. Kill him before the enemy kills you! In this way, you can save your life. Of course, in addition to the sword move, the body speed must also keep up. There are weapons and even arrows everywhere on the battlefield, so I decided not to stay in the same place for too long. The sword move should be fast and the movement speed should be fast! I have not yet mastered the Qifeng Sword Technique to great success. If I use this sword technique with my father or elder brother, I can only hear the sound of drawing the sword and not see the sword body at all. If I am enemies, almost as long as I hear the sound of drawing the sword out of the sheath, he will be dead!" Zhang Chong said.

"...Is that powerful?" Zhang Yuan asked in surprise.

"It's not just amazing! Haha, it's useless for me to tell you this. Come on, I will teach you one by one. Once you learn it, you will know that the power of the Qifeng Sword Technique is!" Zhang Chong said.

"Okay, okay, second brother, teach me quickly." Zhang Yuan said excitedly.

Two hours later, Zhang Yuan learned all the Qifeng Sword Techniques. I have to say that this set of swordsmanship is really simple, but the complex one is the step method!

"The Sword of the Sword of the Wind is a word fast. Of course, the hand holding the sword must be steady, otherwise it is easy to knock the weapon away. The hand must be steady and the sword must be fast. In addition, you should not be proficient. This set of footwork can not only be used in sword moves, but also in boxing and gunshots. It is best to avoid enemy attacks. The footwork contained in this set of sword techniques almost contains all the basic footwork methods in the martial arts world, Tai Chi step, Yin-Yang step, alternate step, circular step, plum blossom step, mismatch step, fighting step, circle step, flying step and combination step. These footwork are the basic footwork, but it is indeed the foundation of all footwork. When fighting, whether it is attack or defense, a person who is proficient in footwork can fully master the entire battle, advance and retreat, and attack and defense freely!"

"The Sword of the Wind is simple, but once the sword technique is accelerated! With these footworks, it is the most powerful martial arts! The simpler it is, the more difficult it is for the enemy to crack. Kill the enemy at the fastest speed, leaving the enemy without any room for reaction. Once the enemy is too powerful, catch the clever footwork and deal with the enemy. If this is not possible, then escape immediately!"

Zhang Chong explained the essence of the Qifeng sword technique to Zhang Yuan, and when the sword moves and footwork were taught, Zhang Chong began to guide Zhang Yuan to use his skills. The two of them took the wooden sword and attacked and defended one by one. Today, Zhang Chong was particularly strict, which made Zhang Yuan suffer a lot. Although the wooden sword was not too painful to hit the body, the accumulation of one sword and one sword was even more uncomfortable than being punched hard!

"Move! Move! Don't stand dullly! Use footwork, no matter which footwork you move, you will give the enemy a chance if you don't move!"

"Don't consider being seen through by others. If you move quickly, what can you do if you see through? Besides, you move first and the enemy move later. Even if you see through by others, you will have the initiative. Whether it is attacking or retreating, you will have the initiative and advance and retreat freely."

"Don't be too rigid. The order of sword moves does not need to be coherent. When you think of that move, just use it easily. Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack again!"

Zhang Yuan accepted Zhang Chong's guidance, attacked him one after another, either stabbing, picking, slashing, or sweeping...

"Fast attack! Attack! Strong attack! This is the best attack method for the Qifeng Sword Technique. Of course, our Qifeng Sword Technique emphasizes the word "fast". However, once the speed is too fast, the lethality of the sword will be weak, which means it is not ruthless enough. Therefore, many fast swordsmen need swords to exert their power... Unfortunately, swords are hard to come by."

Zhang Chong said here and suddenly stopped for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Zhang Yuan noticed Zhang Chong's strangeness and then remembered something. Speaking of the sword, the Zhang family originally had a sword and a Chixin Sword, but unfortunately he had given it to his second cousin Zhang Cheng.

"Second brother, do you remember the Chixin Sword?" Zhang Yuan asked tentatively.

"Haha, Chixin Sword is a top-level sword. In the past five hundred years, I don't know how many weapons have been cut off, but the sword blade of Chixin Sword has not been damaged at all. Every fast swordsman will want such a sword..." Zhang Chong paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "I haven't even touched Chixin Sword. I didn't expect my father to give it to your second cousin. It's really enviable."

When Zhang Yuan saw Zhang Chong's expression, he felt that his second brother really wanted the Chixin Sword, or wanted a sword, so he said, "Second brother, I will find you a sword in the future, which is definitely better than the Chixin Sword!"

"Haha, I remember this, be careful. In the future, my second brother wants you to ask for a sword, so you can't refuse to give it to me." Zhang Chong said with a smile.
