Master of the rivers and lakes

Chapter 67 Who Accompanied Whose Youth ([-]rd)
"Miss Sun didn't see you when she left, but she was very disappointed. Let me tell you that your kindness and virtue will never be forgotten." Wen Qing picked up a favorite radish for Gu Zhen and continued, with a soft tone Still a little heavy.

"What a distressed girl." Gu Zhen sighed.

"..."

Wen Qing didn't answer the words, and began to chew the food slowly by himself. Gu Zhen saw that the atmosphere at the table was a bit strange, and just wanted to say something to break the atmosphere.

Wen Qing swallowed the food in his mouth and continued: "I sent Song Fang to follow, so that I can help if anything happens."

Gu Zhen laughed aloud before saying, "It's our Qing'er who is thoughtful."

Wen Qing took a look at Gu Zhen, and continued: "Hurry up and eat. I haven't eaten well these days, and now everyone has sent them away. Brother Gu, you should also take a good rest for a while."

Gu Zhen nodded in agreement, and after eating, the two sat in the front hall and chatted with each other for a while, and Gu Zhen also taught Wen Qing the Quanzhen Fa and the Jade Girl Sword Art.

It's been a month since Wenqing went up the mountain, and Gu Zhen didn't have time to accept apprentices on behalf of his master during this month.

However, Wen Qing's martial arts practice has progressed very quickly in the past month, and she has been able to operate the whole heart method freely. Although there is still a distance from Xiaocheng, compared with the previous Wen Qing, her internal strength is now majestic. very.

In Gu Zhen's opinion, Wen Qing's Jade Girl swordsmanship has been mastered. Although he lacks actual combat experience, the overall impression given to Gu Zhen is that Wen Qing is a genius at learning swords, and of course he is definitely not as good as Gu Zhen.

While talking, Gu Zhen felt that he hadn't confronted Wen Qing for a long time, so he suggested: "Qing'er, it's relatively free now, why don't I come and give you some advice."

Wen Qing also felt that Gu Zhen's suggestion was a good one. Although she felt that she was already proficient in using the Jade Girl's swordsmanship, she always felt that she lacked experience in fighting with others. Now that Gu Zhen wanted to teach her a move, she must have wanted it.

Just do what they say, the two of them raised their swords and lined up in the backyard garden. Now that it is close to the end of the year, the temperature on Linshan has dropped a lot during this period, and tonight is obviously not as cold as the previous few days. The moon was particularly bright, and the breeze rolled up the fallen leaves and passed in front of the two of them.

"Since it's a feeding move, then Qing'er, you can attack." Gu Zhen held his sword in front of him. This was Gu Zhen's favorite gesture.

"Then Brother Gu, be careful."

Wen Qing pointed the tip of the sword obliquely at the ground, looked at Gu Zhen and said with a smile, after finishing speaking, he directly raised the body of the sword with two sliding steps and was already close to Gu Zhen's body.

Gu Zhen raised his sword to push away Wen Qing to test the sword. Wen Qing floated to Gu Zhen's side, his posture was as graceful as a fairy, and the sword edge pointed towards Gu Zhen's lower body quickly. This was an unusually sharp move in Jade Girl's swordsmanship. Move, the 'little garden chrysanthemum' that specializes in breaking people's footwork.

Gu Zhen didn't dare to be careless, and retreated unhurriedly to avoid the sword's edge, and then simply moved down the sword to block Wen Qing's sword move, and at this time Wen Qing spun into the air, heading straight for Gu Zhen's middle road go.

When Wen Qing fell, the sword move did not fall, and the speed was even faster. The sword body straightened forward, and the tip of the sword trembled. It seemed to attack Gu Zhen's left path from the left, but it was a false move to attack the left, and a real move to attack Gu Zhen's right. side, but directly resorted to a trick of 'split the flowers and blow the willows'.

Seeing Wen Qing take advantage of the situation and resorted to 'split the flowers and brush the willows', Gu Zhen smiled, and moved the 'former Su Qin back sword' to erect the sword in front of the right side of his body.

With a sound of 'ding', Wen Qing's sword tip hit Gu Zhen's sword, and Gu Zhen retreated vigorously. It was at that moment that the long sword was handed out, and when the long sword shook, it slashed to the right, and Gu Zhen raised the sword to block the edge of the sword.

When the sword returned to his side, Wen Qing split his legs, held the sword in both hands, and forced Gu Zhen to return the sword to protect his wrist with a move of "raise the case with eyebrows".

Then Wen Qing turned his feet, and when he got up, he kicked Gu Zhen's ankle. Gu Zhen took a step back and blocked Wen Qingping's stabbing sword with his horizontal sword. After blocking the sword, Wen Qing suddenly exerted force, The sword body of the inner force shakes quickly, and several quick swords cover Gu Zhen's upper body.

Covered by Wen Qing's sword, Gu Zhen seemed to be surrounded by sword shadows. Gu Zhen had no choice but to return to the sword to protect his chest, but all the moves of this sword were false moves. It can be turned into actual moves to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. This is the "cold moon peeking at people" in Jade Girl's swordsmanship.

Gu Zhen knew that Wen Qing's false move was for the sword that pierced the lower abdomen. After a few "ding ding dong dong", Gu Zhen withdrew the sword at that moment, slid his footsteps and quickly turned sideways, passing Wen Qing sideways , but dodged the sword, Gu Zhen just heaved a sigh of relief, but suddenly tilted his body, handed the sword from his right hand to his left hand, and turned his wrist to protect the sword on his left shoulder blade with a move of "Su Qin carrying the sword".

There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and Wen Qing's sword tip touched Gu Zhen's sword again, but it was behind him, and Wen Qing instantly used a "Mulan back shot" to stab the enemy from behind.

The wind is still, the trees are endless, and the sound of weapons clashing between heaven and earth stops abruptly.

Wen Qing retracted the sword and turned around, then stood up and held the sword in his left hand, with the sword body attached to the outside of the forearm, the thumb of his right hand was bent to form a palm, the heel of the palm was attached to the inside of the left wrist, the palm pointed upwards, the arms were rounded, and bent flat in front of the body , wrist and shoulder level, looked at Gu Zhen, but performed a very standard sword-holding salute, Gu Zhen followed suit with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Gu, for your advice. My little sister has benefited a lot." Wen Qing and Gu Zhen walked side by side.

"In the past month or so, Qing'er's swordsmanship has become much more refined, and Qi, sword, and body have been consistent." Gu Zhen took off a leaf and said.

"Earlier, brother Gu told me to 'control first' and 'control later', but after I went back, I thought about it carefully for a while. Although the words were contradictory, they really contained the principle of swordsmanship. The principle of attacking the sword is to move the sword before the opponent's attacking thoughts, and then move the sword after the opponent's attacking thoughts, before the opponent's murderous intentions appear, but I don't quite understand the phrase "knowing nothing is empty." Wen Qing and Gu Zhen sat together On the stone bench in the yard, Wen Qing asked.

Gu Zhen untied the flagon at his waist, took a sip, and said, "Knowing nothing is emptiness, that is, abandoning all experience and letting yourself be in a state where everything is emptiness.

It is to forget life, forget death, forget the enemy, forget the self, not to think, not to mind, to be unintentional, and to let it be. In this way, the changes will be random and natural, without any restraints. Only by forgetting everything can there be no self.

But this is already the highest state of swordsmanship, there is no trick to win, but there is no way to know how many swordsmen in the martial arts world have come to such a state. "

Wen Qing put his hands on his chin and murmured: "If there is no trick to win, there is a trick. This kind of realm is really not easy to achieve. You must forget yourself, forget life, forget death, and forget the enemy. Letting go of everything, with only the sword in front of you, such a swordsman will be more open-minded, or in other words, more inhumane."

Gu Zhen drank the wine and said: "Yes, the highest state of a swordsman is loneliness. We mortals only seek to understand some principles of sword use from the principles of swordsmanship, and do not seek such a lonely state of no self and no other. This is what it is. Why do worldly people provoke the loneliness that is so cold in the heights?"

The night breeze came gently, blowing the blue clothes like water, blending with the faint moonlight in the sky, Gu Zhen and Wen Qing just talked softly with the winter night wind, I don’t know who is supporting whom years.
