accompany you

Bai Zizai suddenly saw a person, looked at him for a moment, and said in surprise, "Brother Wen, you...you...are you here?"

This black-clothed old man who doesn't live in the stone room is gentle and benevolent. He is the head of Shandong Eight Immortals Sword, and he has a long friendship with Bai Zizai.However, he was not very surprised when he saw Bai Zizai, he just smiled and said, "Why didn't you come here until today?"

Bai Zizai said: "Ten years ago I heard that you were invited by Xia Ke Island to drink Laba porridge. I only know you... I only know that you have passed away a long time ago. You have cried a few times, so I know..."

Wen Renhou said: "I am here to study high-quality martial arts, how could I die? It's a pity, it's a pity that you came late. You see, the first sentence 'Zhao Keman Huying', in which there is a comment on the word 'Hu' Said: "Hu people are also people from the Western Regions. The New Tang Book inherits the saying: Hundreds of Hu people practice sound and acoustics, and cut them into dance clothes..." As he said, he pointed to the small words on the stone wall and read Listen to Bai Zizai.

Bai Zizai met a good friend for the first time, and he was very happy. He was eager to ask where to plant, but also to inquire about the situation on the island. He asked, "Brother Wen, how has your life been in the past ten years? Why didn't you bring a letter to Shandong?" at home?"

Wen Renhou stared and said: "What are you talking about? This illustration of the ancient poem 'Xia Ke Xing' contains the most extensive and profound secrets of martial arts in the past and present. We have exhausted our minds, but we still cannot comprehend one out of ten of them. Where can we still be distracted? To care about worldly affairs? You can see that this person in the picture is definitely not a heroic hero of Yanzhao tragedy, but why is he called "Zhao Ke"? To understand this sentence, you must first understand this important key."

Bai Zizai turned his head to see that the figure painted on the wall was a young scholar, with a fan in his left hand and a flying palm in his right, with an elegant and unrestrained demeanor.

Gentle and kind: "Brother Bai, I figured it out recently. The person in the picture is refined and coquettish, which should be an image of femininity, but the comment says: 'We must start with the strong and strong', which of course refers to femininity. It is not difficult to understand that masculinity is for use. But how to use for 'body' and how to use for 'use', there is really great knowledge in the middle."

Bai Zizai nodded and said, "That's right. Brother Wen, this is my grandson-in-law. Do you think his character is not bad? Kid, come and meet Third Grandpa Wen."

Li Xin approached, bowed to Wen Renhou, and called out, "Grandfather Wen."

Bai Zizai continued: "Come on, come on, there is also this little brother Shi, whose profound internal strength is incomparable among young heroes of his generation."

Shi Potian followed Li Xin's example to salute, and also called out: "Senior Wen San."

Wen Renhou said: "Okay, okay!" But he didn't look at them directly, his left hand imitated the posture of the person in the picture, and his right hand suddenly clapped out, with a sound of hooting, and said: "Left yin and right yang, most likely That's the reason."

Shi Potian said in his heart: "This Third Grandpa Wen's palm strength is amazing."

However, Li Xin knew it well, this is because his practice has gone mad.

Bai Zizai recited the notes carved on the wall: "Zhuangzi said about swords: "The prince said: "The swordsmen my lord saw were all unkempt, with protruding temples, hanging crowns, unadorned tassels, and short clothes." Sima's comment said:' The tassels of the unadorned hu are called rough tassels, which are unreasonable.” Brother Wen, the word “manhu” should be interpreted together. Exquisite, it does not mean that he has a barbarian's tassel. The word "Hu" is a beard of a bearded beard, not a beard of a barbarian from the Western Regions."

Wen Renhou shook his head and said: "Otherwise, look at the next line of annotation: 'Zuo Siwei wrote: Manhu's Tassel. Note: Later said, Manhu, the name of a warrior." This is a kind of tassel worn by warriors, which can be crude or Exquisite. A few years ago, I asked Kang Kun, the head of the Guoyi Sect in Liangzhou. He is a barbarian from the Western Regions and knows everything about barbarians. He said that barbarian warriors have tassels on their crowns. The shape is like this..." He squatted down and drew a picture on the ground with his fingers.

Li Xin also looked at the words and pictures on the wall fascinatedly. The palm of his right hand pointed together to form a sword, and he swung it unconsciously, but he didn't quarrel with anyone.

Shi Potian listened to the two of them talking endlessly, but he didn't understand it at all, and Li Xin was also addicted to it, and he didn't even know a few of the annotations on the stone wall.

As soon as he entered the door, he could see the sword qi criss-crossing, seven pairs of people were fighting with each other with long swords, the blades collided continuously.The sword techniques used by these people seem to be different from each other, but they are all ingenious and extremely sophisticated.

I saw the two of them disassembled a few moves, and then they stopped fighting. An old man with white beard said: "Brother, although your idea of ​​this sword just now is strange, but you have to remember that the general outline of this sword technique is 'Wu Goushuang' The word "Xueming" is five characters. Wu hook is also a scimitar. When you draw your sword, you must never forget the word "scissor". A sword is like a scimitar, there is a curve in the straight, and there is a straight in the curve, which is the tenet of the five characters "Wu hook, frost and snow."

Another black-bearded old man shook his head and said, "Brother, you forgot another important point. Look at the note on the wall: Bao Zhaoyuefu: 'Brocade belt and Wu hook', and Li He's poem: 'Why don't men wear Wu hook' The word "pei" and the word "belt" are the most important key points in the poem. Although the Wu hook is a scimitar, it is worn on the body, not taken out for use. That means that the sword should be hidden The momentum of the Wu hook is round and round as you wish, but it is not really curved."

The white-bearded old man said: "But it's not. The 'Wu Hook is frosty and snow-bright', it's shiny, it's not the Wu Hook in the sheath, how can it be reasonable to wear a sharp weapon on your body but not in the sheath?"

Shi Potian stopped listening to the two arguing, and went to the other two, he saw that the two were fighting very fast, one was attacking fiercely with his sword moves, while the other kept drawing circles with his long sword, stabbing each other. All the sword moves were blocked.Suddenly, there was a clang sound, both swords snapped, and the two jumped back at the same time.

The burly black-faced man said: "The commentary on the wall says: Bai Juyi's poem says: 'Don't bend the sword lightly, it's better than a straight hook'. It can be seen that my straight-folded sword fits the original meaning of the annotation on the stone wall."

The other is an old Taoist, Shi Potian recognized him as Taoist Tianxu, the head of Shangqing Temple, and the senior brother of Shi Zhuangzhu and his wife.Shi Potian went up to say hello, but he didn't seem to see him, holding a half-cut sword in his hand, he just shook his head and said, "'Wu Gou Shuang Xueming' is the master, and 'You Sheng Qu Quan Gou' is the guest." .It must not be the right way to make the guest outshine the host.”

Shi Potian listened to the two of them arguing for a long time, he didn't understand at all, so he raised his eyes to see a man and a woman fighting swords in Xishou.

The man and the woman moved very slowly, and every time they made a move, they always compared each other. Sometimes the man turned his head for a long while, and sometimes the woman made a sword move over and over again, obviously the two of them were not Husband and wife, brothers and sisters, or the same family, have a deep friendship with each other, and they are working together to study, and there is absolutely no dispute.

Shi Potian thought: "If you learn from these two people, you may be able to learn some exquisite sword skills." He walked over slowly.

I saw the man concentrating on his luck, straightened his sword and stabbed obliquely, halfway through the stab, then retracted, shook his head, looked very frustrated, sighed, and said: "It's always wrong."

The woman comforted him and said, "Brother Yuan, compared to five months ago, this move has greatly improved. Let's think about this comment again: 'Wu Hook is also the precious sword of King Helu of Wu.' Why?" Is Wu Wanghelu's precious sword different from other people's precious swords?"

The man put away his long sword and read the notes on the wall: "'Wu Yue Spring and Autumn Cloud: Helu is a treasure, Mo Xie, and he was ordered to make a golden hook in the middle of the country. The order said: Those who can do good Wu hooks will be rewarded with a hundred gold. Wu Zuo There are many hookers. But someone was greedy for the king's reward, killed his two sons, and used his blood to plunder the gold, and then made two hooks and offered them to Helu.' Fu Mei, this story is very cruel. For the reward of Wu Wang's hundred gold, even Killed his two sons."

The woman said: "I guess the word 'cruel' is probably the key to this move. You must kill your own son even if it is your own son. Otherwise, why did the notes on the wall specifically indicate this? one period."

Shi Potian saw that this woman was only about forty years old, she was very handsome, but when he talked about killing her parents and children, she had no feeling of compassion at all, and she didn't want to listen any more.Looking up at the stone wall, one can see that the wall is densely engraved with words, but among the thousands of words, some strokes are like a long sword, there are twenty or thirty in total.

Whether the sword shape is horizontal or straight, or left or right, in the eyes of people who can read, it is just a stroke in a word, but Shi Potian does not know these words, so he simply regards them as pictures, seeing What I saw were long and short swords, some pointing upwards, some pointing downwards, some slanting up to fly, and some grazing to fall.

Shi Potian looked down from sword to sword, and when he saw No.12 sword, suddenly there was a heat in the "Jugu Point" on his right shoulder, and there was a rush of heat that was about to move. When he looked at No.13 sword again, the heat Following the meridian, I arrived at the "Wuli Point", and when I looked at the No.14 sword, the heat followed to the "Quchi Point".The hot air is getting stronger and stronger, and it is constantly rushing up from the dantian.

Shi Potian wondered inwardly: "Since I practiced the meridian map on my body, my internal energy has been greatly enhanced, but I have never been as anxious as today. My stomach seems to be on fire. I am afraid that the toxicity of the Laba porridge has exploded."

He couldn't help being a little scared, and when he looked at the sword shape painted on the stone wall, his internal force was automatically flowing according to the meridians, and the heat in his abdomen was slowly dissipating to Daoyi's acupoints around him. He looked at the first sword from the head and followed the shape of the sword. , thinking in the heart, the internal force flows continuously, like a river.

When seeing the No.20 four handles from the first sword, the internal force also circulated from "Yingxiang point" to "Shangyang point" for a week.He thought to himself: "It turns out that these sword shapes are related to the practice of internal strength. It's a pity that I don't know the writing on the wall. Otherwise, I can learn a set of swordsmanship by practicing according to the law. That's right, both Senior Bai and Li Xin In the first room, I will ask them to explain it to me."

So when they returned to the first room, they saw Bai Zizai and Wen Renhou holding a wooden sword in each hand, unsoldering a few tricks, arguing for a while, and pointing to the writing on the stone, each holding their own opinions, and pointing out each other's fallacies.

The author has something to say: thank you for writing, about Li Xin: To be honest, I like this character quite a bit. Let Axiu have a home, and someone needs to tell Shi Zhongyu about the plot, so he created such a character.At that time, I didn't think much about it at all, but with the development of the plot, this person became flesh and blood.

Li Xin is quite an ordinary person, the only unusual thing is that he has traveled through time.He knew that he was traveling through the world of martial arts. Men always have a dream of martial arts in their hearts, and Li Xin is no exception, so he began to practice martial arts diligently since he was a child. Fortunately, his aptitude is not bad, but he has also developed a good martial arts.Of course, don't compare him with the protagonist. Li Xin has no adventures, so his martial arts are naturally inferior to the protagonist.But Li Xin is an open-minded person. Even if he sees the protagonist, he may feel envious or jealous, but he will not be really jealous. He will only examine himself, and then work harder to improve himself.

He has the heart to work hard for his dream, that is, self-motivated, responsible, and not bad-hearted. It was originally set that Li Xin saved Granny Shi and Axiu, and then he became acquainted with Axiu, and then fell in love with each other for a long time.Axiu's vision is very good, Li Xin is a good man, if he is not good, he will not be able to pass the test of Granny Shi.Moreover, Li Xin is deeply influenced by modern monogamy, and he is wholehearted in Axiu.

By the way, when I was reviewing the original work, I found out that Bai Zizai had a concubine.

Quote from the original text: The curtain was raised, and a beautiful woman in her thirties walked out, she was Bai Zizai's concubine, My Lady. (From Chapter [-], Sky City)

At this moment, all the disciples of Nagato returned to the mountain.Liao Zili hid on Bai Zizai's bed, forcing Bai Zizai's concubine to lure Bai Wanjian into the room to visit the sick, and caught him unexpectedly. (From Chapter [-]: Arrogance and Madness)
