Chapter 9 About Swordsmanship

"Brother You Zi, Brother You Zi," After learning the acupoints in Mingshitang, as usual, the town office was shaking and completing a day's work. When Li Ji returned to his residence, a young man and a half-year-old man called him at the door of his yard, "Uncle Guo called his brother to go for a drink, saying that there was something good..."

"Oh, I know, I'll go here." Uncle Guo, who was half-year-old, was the only escort in the town. The escort in the Zhiyuan escort agency, said it was an escort agency. In fact, the only serious escort in the escort agency was Lao Guo, and two young men helped. The headquarters of the Zhiyuan escort agency is in Shuangcheng City, but there are escorts in the surrounding four towns and eight towns, each with resident escorts, to take on some ordinary individual customers' businesses with little value. To put it bluntly, these escorts sent out are basically not valued and have poor abilities. Lao Guo is over forty and 50 years old, and his military power is ordinary and he will not welcome him. When he comes to Cixi, he is just like a retirement service.

Seeing that it was still early and it was still one or two hours before dark, Li Ji didn't go home. He went straight back to the back street, cut three kilograms of camel beef, a smoked goose, and a few seasonal side dishes, wrapped in lotus leaves, carried a hemp rope, and headed straight to the north of the town.

The escort agency is located in the north end of Cixi Town, in a lonely courtyard. Lao Guo is tall, with a black and red face in all directions, a loud voice, and a typical escort professional personality - righteousness, everywhere, easy to make friends, and can't hide things in his heart.

"Hahaha, Brother Li, guess what did you bring back to you when you come back from Twin Cities this time?" Lao Guo looked excited and looked proud.

"The old brother was joking. I first came to Cixi. If I hadn't been to helping me with many places, how could I live a stable life? How could I have dared to bother my brother... Seeing that my brother was so happy, could I bring back a new sister-in-law to me?" Li Ji joked.

"No, even the one in the room is now, I can't handle it. How dare I attract bees and butterflies again... "Old Guo laughed and took out something from his arms, which seemed to be a bookstore and handed it to Li Ji solemnly, "With this thing, I can live up to my entrustedness with my old brother." After that, he drank a full cup.

The book is not heavy, it is made of nine bamboo strips threaded with threads, with countless small characters engraved on it. The first bamboo strip has four large characters, "Liuhe Sword Technique", and I couldn't help but feel happy, "Old brother, where does this thing come from? How dare I accept it?" Li Ji came from time to time, and what he saw and heard, internal skills are quite rare in this world. There are only a few people in Cixi who are really good at martial arts. This is also the reason why he can show his saints in front of others by his previous life fencing skills and a set of shallow breathing. It is not that he is too strong, but that others are too scared. The preciousness of a set of in-depth martial arts and swordsmanship can be seen.

"Brother Li, don't postpone it. You and my brother said that these are too far away. You know, no matter how precious this sword technique is, how is it more life than the old brother? Come, sit down and have a drink..."

Li Ji certainly understood what Lao Guo meant. Since Cixi, Lao Guo did help him a lot, but Li Ji helped him even more. Before the New Year, he was a bandit who crossed the border with a sword, and the one who robbed Lao Guo's escort. Without Li Ji, let alone the escort goods, it was a different story whether Lao Guo's life was still there. After the New Year, the bandits in Zuotou Mountain invaded the border, and Lao Guo also helped the town to resist. At that time, he was surrounded by four or five bandits. If Li Ji was not Li Ji, the grass on the grave was now full. In Cixi, Lao Guo really couldn't help in other aspects. Knowing that Li Ji was good at martial arts, he kept paying attention in secret. This time he got this sword technique, which was what he wanted.

"But I don't know where the old brother of the sword craft got it? Liuhe sword craft... Does Nanli have this sect?" The two of them drank a glass of wine, and Li Ji asked.

"No, it seems that there is such a sect in the north. I heard people mention it occasionally, but I don't know much about it. Speaking of which, it is not difficult for me to get this sword technique. It is both luck and sad..." Lao Guo put it in his mouth, looking a little lonely. "I went back to Shuangcheng this time and met my old brother Xiang... The headquarters of the escort agency Shuangcheng went to Yunhantianling for two months. Unexpectedly, something happened. Not only did the escort lose it, but several people were killed or injured. Brother Xiang was seriously injured... I saw him this time, although his life was saved, he lost all his martial arts. I heard from the doctor that even if his life is saved, I'm afraid it will be easy for a few years... Our friendship for more than 20 years, Lao Xiang's martial arts sword skills are far superior to me, but I didn't expect it to become like this..."

"The world is sinister... licking blood from the knife..." Li Ji silently drank a sip of wine, not knowing how to relieve him.

"Yes, although the rewards are good for the escort, the general will inevitably die on the battlefield, and the clay pot is nothing more than the well. This is fate..." Old Guo wiped the corners of his eyes and continued, "My brother Xiang was born in the north, and this sword book was passed down by him..."

"Why? He has no brothers, nephews, friends and apprentices? Even if he is a member of the escort agency, it is not difficult to find a young man with potential?" Li Ji said in confusion.

"You don't know that my brother Xiang is a loner, never married in his life, has no children, no disciples, and is here with me at Zhiyuan Escort Agency. I guess he is probably coming from the north to avoid disaster... As for the escort agency, hehe, intrigue, dirty faction, how can anyone have a simple mind? Even a good person, he was dyed black after just two years in the escort agency..." He looked at Li Ji with his eyes, "Before I returned, my brother Xiang entrusted me with the sword score, and asked me to find a talented young man to pass it on, and also avoided the pickled goods in the escort agency... I gave it to you, and it was also considered a entrusting... "

The wine was not dispersed until he was eaten. Li Ji returned home, washed his face with cold water, and then studied it quickly. The Liuhe sword technique has six styles, namely, one combination of heaven and earth, two combinations of yin and yang, the combination of qi, the combination of circumference, the combination of mind and intention, and the combination of momentum... The whole set of sword styles, without a specific method of attacking, stabbing, chopping, and cutting. The focus is on how the internal energy can exert its maximum power. There is no doubt that this is a rare and superior sword technique, which is different from the garbage sword technique he collected over the past year, which relies entirely on moves.

Li Ji did not value moves. This attitude came from his 17-year fencing career in his previous life, and was firmly rooted. In his opinion, flashy moves and routines are themselves cancers of swordsmanship. Even those so-called unique skills will be useless if they choose the wrong opportunity. For example, Chu Sancha's three-stroke series was too deliberate, and the intention of using the ultimate move is obvious at a glance. It is meaningless to use unique skills like this.

The true meaning of swordsmanship lies in being fast, accurate, ruthless, fast - it can make the opponent unable to react, accurate - it can break through the opponent's subtle defense loopholes, ruthless - it is penetrating power that can break through defense. With these three points, you don't have to learn the so-called moves, and you can also kill the opponent all over the ground. Li Ji has been adhering to the fighting philosophy of his previous life, but in this new world, due to the emergence of internal strength, he must also change.

For example, Li Ji has basically achieved the ultimate of this body, but this is just pure muscle strength. How to cooperate with internal force to make the speed go up to a higher level, he is still very vague. The first style of Liuhe Sword Technique, Yitong Tiandi seems to solve this problem. This is clearly written in the sword book. Qi starts from the fengquan at the bottom of the foot, and passes through the yang to the knees and eyes to the nose to continue the qi, and goes upward to the waist and abdomen to rush strong qi, which stimulates Tianshu from Neiguan, Outer Pass, Quchi, Taiyuan. Combining with muscles, Qi leads the sword with qi, the momentum is like thunder, and those with high-level skills can overflow the sword energy... Li Ji was itchy and he dared not think about it. It can be faster, and the sword power is strong enough. He is satisfied.

Li Ji knew very well that he had a major flaw in fighting with others, that is, his body movements were too single, and he could only advance and retreat. This was a bad habit left by competitions in the swordsmanship in his previous life. It was really not easy to change them. In other words, in a small place like Cixi, if you change somewhere else and meet a real master, this habit may be fatal. The third style of Liuhe Sword Technique, the Qi-Fitting is just a kind of application of how to exercise internal energy in the body movement. It was a good pillow that came to sleep...
