Chapter Thirty-Three: The Butterfly Dance and the Nine Swords Rise in the Sky
In the following days, Ye Suifeng retreated and meditated, but he never left his practice room.
His practice room was made of a natural cave, and it was only a dozen feet away from their thatched hut.
"Does the master often meditate in retreat?"
Mu Qianmei asked curiously.
"No, the master rarely retreats and meditates, and only when the practice reaches a critical moment and he needs to quietly meditate, he will retreat."
Liu Tingfeng replied.
"So now the master has reached a critical time again? How long is he going to be in retreat? ”
Mu Qianmei asked again.
"Probably not, I think the master may be creating a set of swordsmanship for you that suits you, and it will take a lot of time to understand. In the past, the master usually meditated for five or six days to half a month, so wait patiently, the master will definitely give you a big surprise. ”
Liu Tingfeng guessed.
"Hey, let him bother the old man again, if it is to create a sword technique for me, I must work hard to cultivate, and I can't live up to his wishes!"
Mu Qianmei said gratefully.
In the past few days, Mu Qianmei has practiced martial arts with Liu Tingfeng every day, and Liu Tingfeng has not shied away from it, and has unreservedly explained the sword intent of the sword technique and his own experience to Mu Qianmei one by one.
They get along very naturally, although they have known each other for a short time, they seem to have known each other for many years, there is no estrangement, no embarrassment, as if they are childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
Liu Tingfeng is born simple, he has never entered the secular world, and he has a pure mind like natural jade.
In his upbringing, Liu Suifeng was the only one in all his previous lives, in addition to practicing swords, he was collecting medicine every day, and then cooking every day, making tea, and occasionally accompanying Ye Suifeng to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he didn't learn deeply.
Because Ye Suifeng is like a sword idiot, in addition to the sword, he is still a sword in his life, and he is not very proficient in other aspects.
Now, Liu Tingfeng suddenly has a peer of the same age in his life, and he is extremely excited.
He didn't know what the people in the outside world were like, but he still felt that Mu Qianmei was very beautiful, very kind, and got along with him every day and night, he had countless questions to ask Mu Qianmei, just like a little boy who was full of curiosity about the world.
Mu Qianmei is also full of affection for this handsome young man.
In the earthly world, there are many genius teenagers, but they grow up in the crowd and have some earthly fireworks, but this teenager is so otherworldly and unstained with dust.
Therefore, in the process of getting along with Liu Tingfeng, she also let go of all her scheming and baggage, and made herself a simple little girl.
She suddenly found that she also liked this kind of state of getting along.
Be honest with each other, and have no guesses.
In this way, it was not until the twelfth day that Ye Suifeng walked out of his martial arts training room with a radiant look on his face, without the slightest hint of exhaustion.
Seeing from a distance that Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng were practicing the swordsmanship with the wind together, he smiled and said loudly:
"Haha...... Little girl, I have finally created a set of swordsmanship for you, I believe it will suit you. ”
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng immediately stopped, and looked at Ye Suifeng with a look of surprise.
"Master, you're finally out of the customs! Hehe...... Thank you, Master, Fluttershy has worried you, I wonder what kind of swordsmanship Master created for Fluttershy? ”
Mu Qianmei asked with a happy smile.
"I see that when you practice the Flying Dragon Thirty-six Sticks, you are like a dancing butterfly, and the swordsmanship created for you is called the Butterfly Dance Swordsmanship!"
"There are a total of nine swords in the butterfly dance swordsmanship, which evolved from the five swords with the wind, and the swordsmanship overcomes rigidity with softness, which is very suitable for you to practice."
Ye Suifeng explained.
"Butterfly Dance Swordsmanship? Hehe...... It's a nice name, I love it! Fluttershy must practice diligently and never fail to live up to her master's teachings. ”
Mu Qianmei said, bowing respectfully to Ye Suifeng.
"Huh...... The little girl doesn't have to pay attention to these false etiquette, everything can be done as she likes. ”
"Next, I will first explain to you the moves and sword intent of the Butterfly Dance Nine Swords, so that you can have a general understanding, and from tomorrow, you will start cultivating again."
Ye Suifeng said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Master, Fluttershy will definitely listen carefully to Master's explanation."
Mu Qianmei said respectfully.
"First of all, it's good to be serious, but don't be too persistent, casual will be better, if you experience fun in the process of practicing swords, maybe the effect will be better! Hehe......"
Ye Suifeng said with a smile, without waiting for Mu Qianmei to reply, he continued to say:
"The Nine Swords of the Butterfly Dance evolved from the Five Swords of the Wind because they have a certain amount in common. The wind is free, and the butterfly is the pursuit of freedom, so they all take freedom as the most basic sword intent. ”
"Whether it is its own freedom or the pursuit of freedom, it is to achieve a state of freewheeling, the wind is nowhere to be found, but the butterfly dance is tangible, therefore, relatively speaking, the butterfly dance swordsmanship will be better to get started."
"And with your comprehension of the Butterfly Dance, it may be easier, but fortunately, during this time, you also have a certain understanding of the Five Swords of the Wind, and it will be much easier for me to speak."
"The Butterfly Dance Nine Swords has a total of nine moves, thirty-six styles, with the sword intent of the sword technique with the wind, and there are also some moves evolved from the thirty-six sticks of the flying dragon."
"I'll briefly explain it to you while demonstrating it."
After speaking, he said slowly while demonstrating:
"The first move of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - the butterfly shadow in front of the flower, is the sword style of the butterfly dance swordsmanship, the sword rises at will, like the butterfly shadow in front of the flower, soft with the idea of freedom, the sword walks lightly, like the catkins in the breeze, I don't know where it comes from, and I don't know where it floats, so that the opponent can't see the move you are about to attack."
"The second move of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - dancing with the wind, like a butterfly flying with the wind, there is a little feeling of the east wind blowing in the wind swordsmanship, to follow the direction of the wind, borrow the wind to move, the body is getting faster, and the swordsmanship has gradually accelerated."
"The third trick of butterfly dance swordsmanship - flowers fly in dreams, like the wind blows flowers, thousands of flowers fly, swords are like the wind, people are like butterflies, the sword moves with people, people move with the wind."
"The fourth trick of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - do whatever you want, the sword moves as you like, the heart moves as you like, and the intention dances with the sword, so as to do as you like."
"The fifth move of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - the peak loop turns, the swordsmanship changes from fast to slow, from light to heavy, and the swordsmanship is urged with internal force, so that the opponent's rhythm changes with his own and is in passive defense."
"The sixth move of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - ethereal and shadowless, the sword moves change from heavy to empty, people gradually enter, the swordsmanship is ethereal, and people are unable to defend."
"The seventh move of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - like a dream, the swordsmanship is so far, it is gradually getting better, like a dream, it is also true and false, and it seems to be real and real."
"The eighth move of the butterfly dance swordsmanship - free world, everything is in control, people are swords, swords are butterflies, butterflies are me, heaven and earth are free for me."
"The ninth move of the butterfly dance sword technique - the butterfly dance for nine days, people conjure thousands of butterfly shadows, and the sword conjures into thousands of sword shadows, just like the butterfly dance for nine days, the sword breaks through the sky, even the gods are difficult to resist the ninth sword and butterfly dance for nine days."
Ye Suifeng danced the sword in his hand as if he had forgotten himself, and explained in detail one by one.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person immediately stopped, and the thousands of butterfly shadows and sword shadows immediately disappeared.
The sudden change from movement to stillness, from illusion to reality, makes people wake up like in a dream, some unfinished, and even a faint sense of loss.
There is no fierce killing move of the five swords with the wind, there is no masculine domineering of the thirty-six sticks of the flying dragon, and some of them are a dreamlike and ethereal feeling of nothingness.
"Does this kind of swordsmanship have offensive power?"
Mu Qianmei asked casually, and she regretted it a little after asking, isn't it appropriate to ask like this?
"Huh...... I knew you would have this question, many people think that the clever martial arts swordsmanship must be extremely powerful, and I thought so at the beginning, so I created the extremely powerful Five Swords with the Wind. ”
"But later, after entering the realm of swordsmanship, I found that since it is a sword technique, it is a 'law' word, ten thousand laws return to the sect, sharp is the law, fast is the law, domineering is the law, and softness is also the law, and with my current understanding, the soft swordsmanship is better."
"The growth and change of all things in the world, most of them are slow and soft, and the butterfly dance swordsmanship is in line with such a law, light and soft, continuous, heavy and not gravity, it looks beautiful and elegant, it seems to have no attack power, in fact, it is a kind of swordsmanship that overcomes rigidity with softness, static braking, and intention."
"In actual combat, we pay attention to controlling the opponent's fierceness, speed and domineering with continuous sword intent, conform to the opponent's offensive, guide the opponent to change with their own rhythm, unload the opponent's offensive first, and then give a counteroffensive."
"So if you practice well, even if you are as strong as the sword technique with the wind, and domineering as the thirty-six sticks of the flying dragon, you can also defeat the enemy. Don't underestimate this butterfly dance swordsmanship that seems to have only ornamental value. ”
Ye Suifeng analyzed in detail.
"Overcome rigidity with softness, brake with static, guide the opponent to change with his own rhythm, and unload the opponent's offensive first? Isn't this the same as Tai Chi swordsmanship? ”
Mu Qianmei muttered to herself.
"Tai Chi swordsmanship? What kind of Tai Chi swordsmanship, why haven't I heard of it? ”
Unexpectedly, Ye Suifeng's ears were extremely good, and he actually heard Mu Qianmei's muttering and asked strangely.
"This ...... This is a kind of martial arts that I overheard when I traveled through the rivers and lakes with Lao Zhaohua, saying that 'Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip!' And Wuji is the way, Tai Chi swordsmanship is a kind of swordsmanship created by the theory of Tai Chi, conforming to the laws of nature, and you just explained the same thing, and it is said that to practice Tai Chi swordsmanship, you should try to forget the sword moves, and win with no moves! I don't know much about it! ”
Mu Qianmei explained with the memories of her previous life.
"I didn't expect there to be such a master in the world! The Tao that I have spent my whole life exploring has already been explored. Hehe...... If you are lucky enough to meet this person, you can discuss it together. A good sentence 'to win with no tricks', a good set of Tai Chi swordsmanship. If you practice the butterfly dance swordsmanship well, you will reach such a state in the future, and when you really reach the time of 'doing whatever you want', that is, you can win with no moves. ”
Ye Suifeng explained with a complicated mood.
