Chapter 192 Combining Hardness and Softness
In fact, the ancestral martial arts of the Shi family has never been known for its strength and domineering. Instead, it has followed the line of agility and flexibility, using softness to overcome hardness.
For example, the ancestral kung fu of the Shi family is called "Luozhao Yanguang Jue";
For example, the ancestral kung fu of the Shi family is called "Luohua Feixu";
Again For example, the ancestral swordsmanship of the Shi family is called "Caiyun Weiyu Sword";
It's a pity that this girl Shi Xiaohan has become extremely rebellious since she entered puberty.
She doesn’t like to practice swordsmanship with her father. Instead, she goes to the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture to exchange for the "Kunwu Sword" which is more than one meter long and weighs more than ten kilograms and the famous for its fierceness and violence. "Overlord's Sword Art", I feel that these things can better highlight her "heroic temperament".
Because Shi Lei was worried that she would not be able to get married, he had pleaded in letters more than once, hoping that she could learn some more ladylike moves.
But Shi Xiaohan always disagreed with what he said, repeatedly saying, "This heroine has given up being a damn lady a long time ago" and "I will never marry until ghosts are exterminated."
Of course, just because she likes "Overlord Sword Technique" does not mean that she only knows "Overlord Sword Technique".
Since she is determined to be the final winner tonight, she doesn't mind sacrificing her domineering and fierce "hero" character a little.
So, she used the "Falling Flowers and Flying Catkins" sword technique, and quickly retreated with light steps.
The smoke condensed by Qi Yuanshan's sword energy instantly exploded where she originally stood, bursting out with extremely majestic power.
Shi Xiaohan’s eyes were slightly stern.
She knew that if she did not dodge in time, she would definitely be seriously injured when the sword energy exploded.
…………
Offstage.
Qi Yan, a young man in white clothes, glanced at Gu Xu with an expression of surprise: "You're right. I really don't know her well enough."
Gu Xu smiled: "Xiaohan has been doing a lot of things these days. She has been killing ghosts in Yishui County for many years and has no experience competing with Daqi's geniuses. It is normal that she has little reputation."
"You think she can win this competition. ”
"She will definitely win the next round."
"Are you so confident in her?"
"To be precise, I am confident in the difficulty of "Pingtian Sword Art" "
"The difficulty of "Pingtian Sword Art"?" Qi Yan obviously did not understand what Gu Xu said.
"The "Pingtian Sword Art" is indeed the secret of the sword pavilion. Its power is indeed extraordinary. As long as you learn a little bit of it, you can defeat the monks of the same realm." Gu Xu looked at the ring, He analyzed lightly, "However, it is extremely difficult to completely conquer a high-grade martial arts.
"If you cannot fully understand the true meaning of the great avenue, not only will the moves you perform will be full of loopholes, but also a great consumption of true energy.
"The name 'Pingtian Sword Art' is taken from The poem left by the founder of Jiange before his ascension - "The three-foot sword in the box on the back serves as a sign of injustice to heaven and man." The natal sword named 'Three-Child Sword' owned by Su Xiao in Jiange is also named after this.
"If I guess correctly, the true meaning of "Pingtian Sword Art" lies in the chivalrous spirit of hating evil as much as hatred, and the determination to eliminate violence and bring peace to the good.
"However, the sword style displayed by Qi Yuanshan , did not give me such a feeling.
“On the contrary, I feel that he is using his power to overwhelm others - this is obviously contrary to the true meaning of the "Pingtian Sword Art".
"So, after using the first two moves of "Pingtian Sword Art", Qi Yuanshan should have run out of energy.
"However, although the moves Shi Xiaohan used were only mid-level, she They are all mastered extremely skillfully - the power she can exert in her hands is no less powerful than Qi Yuanshan's half-baked sword moves. ”
Qi Yan listened to his analysis carefully and looked at him with even more surprise.
Although Qi Yan had long known that Gu Xu was well-read and knowledgeable about Taoism, law and martial arts in the world. I understand.
But now, while watching the battle, Gu Xu directly analyzed the "true meaning of the road", which still surprised Qi Yan
Qi Yan took a deep breath.
"In my impression, it seems that Mr. Gu also masters a very powerful high-grade spell?"
""Seven Styles of Burning Heaven"," Gu Xu replied calmly, he knew This is not a secret in the capital. "But I am not talented and I only mastered the first move by luck."
Qi Yan stopped talking.
…………
While they were talking, the competition between the two in the ring continued. After Shi Xiaohan avoided his opponent's sword intent, he did not give his opponent time to breathe.
While Qi Yuanshan was in a daze, she waved the "Kunwu Sword" in her hand again.
But this time, what she used was not the "Overlord Sword Technique", but the move in the "Caiyun Weiyu Sword".
Using a sword weighing more than ten kilograms to perform the dexterous sword technique of "Caiyun Weiyu Sword" sounds very incredible.
However, at this moment, the "Kunwu Sword" in her hands looked very light and elegant.
Just because she is so familiar with this "Caiyun Weiyu Sword".
Since she started practicing, Shi Lei has been teaching her step by step how to practice this set of swordsmanship, and accompanying her to practice day after day.
She has already engraved it firmly in her bones.
Even if the sword is replaced by a branch, a wooden stick, or a broom, she can fully display this set of swordsmanship.
As Gu Xu said, the first two moves of "Pingtian Sword Art" consume a lot of Qi Yuanshan's real energy.
Qi Yuanshan is no longer able to use his subsequent moves.
He could only rely on muscle memory and use the basic sword style of Jiange to try to resist Shi Xiaohan's attack.
But his movements were still slow.
The sharp edge of the "Kunwu Sword" quickly pointed at Qi Yuanshan's throat like a ghost.
Qi Yuanshan was stunned on the spot for two seconds.
Then he looked at Shi Xiaohan opposite and said sincerely: "I lost."
"Miss Shi's moves are both strong and soft, and I admire her very much. "
"Your sword skills also impressed me deeply. "Shi Xiaohan put away the knife and also complimented.
"I heard that when Miss Shi was in Yishui County, she was a colleague of Mr. Gu who saved Qingzhou Mansion," Qi Yuanshan pondered for a moment and then asked Shi Xiaohan A request was made, “If you see him, can you bring him a message for me? ”
"It's easy, of course." Shi Xiaohan nodded.
“My senior brother Su Xiao is very interested in Mr. Gu,” Qi Yuanshan continued. “Soon, he will come to the capital to attend the Luoshui Conference. He hopes to be able to follow the Luoshui Conference during the Luoshui Conference. Mr. Gu met to discuss the secrets of the great road."
"No problem."
After hearing Shi Xiaohan's affirmative answer, Qi Yuanshan turned and walked down the platform.
He benefited a lot from today's battle.
He decided to retreat and ponder it carefully before the Luoshui Conference, and try to improve the flaws in his swordsmanship as much as possible.
…………
At the same time, Qi Yan once again glanced at Gu Xu next to him with meaningful eyes.
Gu Xu has not yet appeared today.
But his name has resounded over Luoshui time and time again.
PS: Sorry for the lag, this chapter is a bit late. There will be a chapter later.
