Volume 1 Chapter 6 The Nature of Swordsmanship
In addition to adding an extra hour of time to practice internal strength every day, Luo Changfeng did not let go of other cultivations, and still carried out masochistic cultivation every day, and then went to Zhao Mingde's place on time to take a medicinal bath.
The diameter of the stake he used for cultivation has changed again and again, from the thickness of an adult's arm at the beginning, to the thickness of a calf as it has slowly become, and the straw rope originally wrapped on the main trunk of the stake has also been removed.
In the process of cultivation, Luo Changfeng's limbs were injured and wounded, and he was injured again, and he didn't know how many times he had scabbed and how many times he had changed his skin.
His flesh and skin became tougher and tougher, but because of Zhao Mingde's soaking in potions, there was no sign of necrosis.
Otherwise, when Luo Changfeng gets older, the secret injury on his body will make his body completely collapse, just like those who practice Siamese boxing, and he will be almost useless after middle age.
After half a month, Luo Changfeng practiced his sense of qi, and after more than three months, Luo Changfeng finally felt what Chen Jinnan said, the feeling of a ball rolling in the dantian.
In other words, his internal skills have been introduced.
With the introduction of internal strength, Luo Changfeng's speed, strength, agility and other physical qualities have improved a lot again, and even his ability to resist fighting is much stronger.
And now, even if it is a stake with a thick calf, he can break it in one stroke, Zhao Mingde hit him on the front chest and back with an equally thick stick, and he was still confused until the stick broke.
Zhao Mingde finally announced that in the outer door kung fu, he has entered the hall and made a small success, and the main cultivation in the future will be transferred to the practice of internal strength, and at the same time, he can also start to practice a machine kung fu.
At this point, Zhao Mingde has completed his duties, and he will no longer be responsible for teaching Luo Changfeng martial arts in the future, at most he will be a sparring partner.
Chen Jinnan raised Luo Changfeng's daily practice time to one and a half hours, as for the equipment, he was good at swordsmanship, and what was passed on to Luo Changfeng was naturally also swordsmanship.
After teaching the thirty-two styles of "Danxin Sword Technique" to Luo Changfeng, Chen Jinnan left the helm again and went to Jinxi to deal with the affairs of the branch hall.
Luo Changfeng still cultivates every day, if he wants to practice swordsmanship, it is much more difficult than fist and foot kung fu, among the common four major weapons, swords, guns, swords and sticks, the difficulty of cultivation ranks second, only below marksmanship.
After practicing for half a year, although Luo Changfeng has been very proficient, and with his own understanding, he has comprehended many uses and combinations of this sword technique.
But Luo Changfeng always felt that although this sword technique was very exquisite, even Zhao Mingde couldn't take advantage of it when facing this sword technique, but it was a competition.
In fact, the combat ability does not seem to be as strong as imagined.
He slowly began to think about what the essence of swordsmanship was, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally returned to the original point, and it was summed up as a martial arts killing technique.
Whether it is fist and leg method, or knife and sword technique, the core purpose of its creation is to kill, so as long as it can effectively kill, why bother with what moves he doesn't move?
What kind of swordsmanship is the most powerful swordsmanship? Is it a subtle move? Strange and unpredictable changes? Unstoppable power?
No, it's neither.
It's fast.
It's so that the opponent can't react quickly at all.
The world's martial arts are invincible, incomprehensible, and unbreakable.
In "Xiao Li Flying Knife", Ah Fei doesn't know any advanced swordsmanship, he doesn't even know what moves, he only knows one move - stabbing.
But how many people can avoid his stab? In the heyday of Ah Fei, there are only a handful of people who can avoid his stab, and they can avoid it theoretically.
In his heyday, he had done with him, and he could avoid his stab, but there was not a single one, yes, not one, as long as he had done with him, and it was one-on-one, all of them died.
It's just such a simple stab, a sword into the throat, because he is fast enough, so fast that others can't react at all, and naturally there is no way to dodge and defend.
There is also the evil sword technique in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", without the cooperation of internal strength and mental method, when the speed cannot be improved, it is a lame sword technique that does not enter the stream.
But once the speed is increased by dozens of times, it immediately becomes a top-level swordsmanship.
There are too many examples to mention.
Of course, fast is the core key element, but not only fast, in addition to fast, the second is "quasi".
If the sword is not accurate, can Ah Fei still stab every sword and hit the opponent's throat?
Obviously it can't be done.
So in addition to being fast, it must also be accurate, and in the end it is stable and ruthless.
The sword is fast and accurate enough, but if it is not stable enough, and the slightest external force affects it, this sword will not be able to pierce its target.
As for ruthlessness, it's easy to explain, if you don't have the determination to kill when you shoot, if you don't have the ruthlessness to kill when you take your life, what's the use of swordsmanship, no matter how high your swordsmanship is?
The so-called ruthless enough, that is, there is no hesitation at all, there is no hesitation when the sword is drawn, and there can be no trace of mercy.
Either don't shoot, and once you do, you must let the tip of the sword pierce into the opponent's vital point.
Having said so much about the swordsmanship of being steady, accurate and fast, does it mean that the sword moves are useless?
Of course not.
Without moves, there is a lack of variety, insufficient variation, and you can still occupy an absolute advantage with speed when you are one-on-one, but once you are besieged by many people, it will be a big trouble.
Still taking Ah Fei as an example, among the people in the world of Xiao Li Fei's flying knife who are not dead in the face of Ah Fei's fast sword, there are only Shaolin Xinmei Zen Master and four Shaolin disciples.
Because they were outnumbered by the crowd and laid down the Arhat Array, they did not die under Ah Fei's sword, which is the disadvantage of Ah Fei's insufficient swordsmanship.
But Luo Changfeng is different, he has learned a delicate Danxin sword technique, and there is no shortage of changes, so he only needs to make his sword fast enough.
Luo Changfeng put down the stainless steel long sword that Chen Jinnan gave him, and went to the blacksmith shop to ask the blacksmith to build him a long sword with no blade and no tip.
Then he returned to his usual place of practice, and first used his stainless steel long sword to stab a sword mark on the trunk of a tree.
Then he put down the steel long sword, held the sword without a sharp point, stood in front of the tree trunk, stared at the sword mark for a moment, and then stabbed it with a sword as fast as he could.
"......"
There was no doubt that this sword was off, Luo Changfeng was not discouraged, withdrew the long sword, and stabbed out again......
Luo Changfeng began to practice the action of stabbing day after day, and he had to ensure that he did it, and every sword he stabbed at the fastest speed, the unpointed sword head, would fall into the sword marks stabbed by the steel long sword.
In this way, the stability and accuracy in his swordsmanship can be regarded as qualified, and if he is ruthless, there is no way to cultivate, he can only rely on killing, whether it is an animal or a person, if he kills too much, he will naturally be ruthless.
And there are many things that need to be done to make your sword faster, in other words, there are many ways to get faster.
For example, increasing one's arm strength, honing one's power skills, improving the strength of internal force, or improving one's body and footwork, etc., are all factors that determine the speed of the sword.
Even, even the sword stabbed the throat to ensure that the next sword was equally fast.
Because the throat is only a thin layer of flesh, it will not cause much resistance to drawing the sword.
