The Road to Longevity

Chapter 5: First Practice of Swordsmanship (seeking further reading and recommendation)

The next day, Ji An and Ji Ning came to the fighting arena very early, the sun was shining brightly, shining on their bodies, giving them a hint of warmth.

Ji Ning pulled his father and said that he wanted to learn swordsmanship.

Ji Yichuan patiently explained to Ji Ning that now he can only learn the basics of swordsmanship, but cannot learn advanced swordsmanship.

"Father, when can I learn sword skills?" Ji An asked.

"Just like your younger brother, you also need to start learning from the basics of swordsmanship. I am good at swordsmanship but not swordsmanship, so I can't teach you personally, but I hired a swordsmanship teacher for you to do swordsmanship for you Enlightenment."

Ji Yichuan was a little disappointed. After all, his son was such a genius and evildoer, but he couldn't teach him.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a beast robe and carrying a giant knife on his back came over.

"Yichuan, here I come!" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Uncle Ming, thank you for your hard work. This kid insists on learning sword skills, and I can't teach him, so I can only ask you." Ji Yi said respectfully.

"It's a small matter, haha, it's my good fortune to be your son Ji Yichuan's saber master."

Jiming said excitedly, although his seniority is higher than Ji Yichuan's, but Ji Yichuan is the number one expert in the Ji family's West Mansion, in this era where seniority is judged by strength, it is better for him to be humble.

"An'er, this is your master Ming. I will teach you how to practice swords in the future. Uncle Ming is the second best swordsman in my West Mansion. His strength is not inferior to mine. You must study hard." Ji Yichuan told Ji An .

"Okay, father, Master Jiming, please take care of me." Ji An clasped his fists to salute Jiming.

"Boy Ji An, from today onwards, I will teach you how to practice the sword." Jiming looked at Ji An and said coldly, "The sword is the king of all soldiers. I heard that you have also practiced hidden weapons and body skills?"

"Yes, Master Jiming!" Ji An replied.

"As long as you are proficient with hidden weapons, your power will be stronger in the future, and the farther you can see, the more powerful the hidden weapons you fire will be. Of course, the premise is that you can hit the enemy."

"Agility is important, but it's still just an auxiliary means... Killing the enemy depends on the last knife!"

"The knife is the blade of a powerful weapon. Although it does not have the lightness and changeability of a sword, it is more powerful than a sword and other weapons when used. It can be easily killed with a stroke, a block, a chop, a swing, and a chop. Opponent. Of course, if you practice alone, you may hurt yourself, because the knife is the real killing blade." Jiming patiently explained to Ji An.

Ji An was full of enthusiasm and anticipation, his eyes sparkled: "Master Jiming, what sword technique should I learn now?"

"Sword technique? Wait a minute! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Jiming said coldly.

"Wait, how long will it have to wait?" Ji An wondered.

Jiming said coldly: "The sword is an extension of the body! If you want to practice the sword technique well, you must first control your body well. Then you have to practice the palm technique first, so that the body, hands and feet are extremely flexible and exert strength Freedom, this is the physical preparation for 'sword practice'!"

"It's not enough to be physically prepared, you also need to prepare your 'heart' for sword practice!"

Ji Ningan heard it in the rain, and asked: "Master Jiming, you said that you should prepare your body for sword practice, but I barely understand. But the 'heart' must also be prepared for sword practice, right? What do you mean? When I was practicing hidden weapons yesterday, Master Tang Shan also said that hidden weapons should be carefully thought out, eyed out, and tooled up. Is this a truth?"

"Don't worry, you will know later."

Jiming looked at Ji An, and a thick book appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and he threw it at Ji An.

"First, take a closer look at this palm technique. This palm technique is divided into [-] movements, including the most obvious but also the most basic method of body exertion. Once you have mastered this set of palm techniques, you You will feel relaxed and at ease all over your body.”

"The knife is an extension of the body. If the body is not free, how can the knife be free?" Jiming explained patiently because he was afraid that Ji An would be so ambitious.

Ji An knows very well that sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood, the foundation is still very important
"Yes, Master Ming." Ji An answered with his head down, and then began to study the book in his hand.

After memorizing the secrets, he started to practice again, and Jiming continued to give pointers, pointed out mistakes, demonstrated by himself, and told tricks.

Ji An's aptitude is indeed good, and he mastered the basics of palming in a short time.

……

Two hours later.

"Take a break." Jiming looked at Ji An who was covered in sweat.

"From now on, practice palm technique for two hours every day, until I determine that your body is ready for sword practice."

"It is one aspect to prepare the body for sword practice."

"You still have to be 'heart' and ready to practice swords." Two black iron swords appeared in Jiming's hands, and he threw them directly at Ji An.

"I heard that you want to practice double swords? Take it!"

Ji An held these two knives.

At the same time, Jiming pointed to the open space next to him. Huh, a metal puppet appeared out of nowhere on the open space, and the metal puppet was holding a knife in its hand.

"This is a puppet." Ji Yichuan said, "In the school of refining qi and cultivating immortals, there are strong people who are good at refining puppets. This puppet is the most common puppet, and it has the strength of the acquired perfection, but its body is Incredibly tenacious."

"Master Jiming, why are there red lines on his body?" Ji An was puzzled.

There are more than a dozen red lines on the body of this black lacquered metal puppet, which are located on the eyebrows, throat, chest and abdomen, arms, wrists, and back.

"You try to slash at the red line of its throat." Jiming shouted directly,
"be quick!"

"Yes." Ji Anmeng slashed with his right hand.

bang!
The knife struck over, but it hit the puppet's chest, which was still quite a distance from the line of the puppet's throat.

"This..." Ji An was slightly taken aback. He obviously wanted to strike at the throat, but he couldn't help but strike a few times, but it always missed.

Jiming said indifferently, "You've discovered it. No matter how strong you are, if you can't hit your opponent, all your efforts will be in vain. So you need to practice more at ordinary times. Only in this way can you achieve your goal."

"If any kind of knife technique is completely decomposed, it can be divided into nine basic styles: chopping, lifting, sweeping, collapsing, chopping, racking, twisting, picking, and hanging."

"Splitting, teasing, sweeping, and chopping tend to attack."

"Hanging, collapsing, racking, picking, and hanging tend to be defensive."

Jiming pointed at the metal puppet: "From now on, you will slash at the puppet's red line with your knife until you can hit the red line precisely."

"Afterwards, the puppet will move and slash at you with a knife, and you will use the basic five styles of 'strangle, collapse, frame, pick, and hang' to defend."

"attack!"

"Defense!"

"When you become proficient in the future, the puppet will fight you, and you will mix up your basic nine-swords style and use it on it." Jiming looked at Ji An and said.

"Wait for the day when your basic nine swords practice is superb and extremely precise, then your heart will be ready for sword practice."

Ji An was a little confused.

"Get your body ready."

"At the same time, the heart is also prepared."

"You can really practice knife skills."

"You won't be able to reach the first level of the sword technique 'basic' until you are really proficient in the sword technique I taught you."

"The knife is also divided into three realms."

"Basic, nuanced, and the unity of nature and man! Generally speaking, the acquired realm can master the basics of swordsmanship, the innate beings can master the swordsmanship in subtleties, and the monks of the Zifu can be the one of swordsman and man."

Ji An kept wrestling with the puppet, sweating profusely, without any intention of stopping.

At this time Ji Yichuan came over, "Uncle Ming, how is this kid?"

"Very hardworking and highly qualified, but a little ambitious, but it's normal, after all, he's still young." Jiming looked at Ji Yichuan.

"That's good. I hope he can practice his sword skills well and become a real master in the future." Ji Yichuan said hopefully.

……

For the rest of his life, Ji An practiced hidden weapon techniques, or sword techniques, or body techniques every day.Day after day like this, Ji An has indeed made great progress.

A year later, Ji An's agility became more and more flexible, reaching the foundation of the first stage of the agility realm.

As for Ji An's saber technique, he has made great progress. He has achieved physical and mental awareness, so now Jiming has begun to teach Ji An the real saber technique.

Of course, Ji An's biggest improvement is the method of hidden weapons.

I saw Tang Shan holding a handful of stones and throwing them towards the sky, Ji An shook his little hand, and with a bang, the stones in the air also turned into ashes.

Then Tang Shan took out a stone and flew it towards the sky behind Ji An.

At this moment, Ji An took out his throwing knife and made a trick of it. Then he closed his eyes and shook his little hand. The throwing knife had already hit a stone in the air.

Ji's flying knife, there are no false shots. Ji An's soul is getting stronger and stronger because he has been contemplating the origin of the array for a long time, so as long as he concentrates, he can shoot accurately no matter whether he opens or closes his eyes. target.

"Okay, very good." Tang Shan laughed loudly,
"Young Master Ji An, your hidden weapon technique is becoming more and more sophisticated now, and you are no worse than me in using the Heavenly Girl Scattering Flower."

"Even this method of closing the eyes to fire the hidden weapon is really amazing." Tang Shan became more and more excited as he talked. After all, he himself could not close his eyes to fire the hidden weapon and still hit the target.

"Master Tangshan." Ji An clasped his fists and said.

"As long as you practice more, when your strength becomes stronger in the future, your hidden weapon attack power will definitely become stronger and stronger," Tang Shan said excitedly.

"Mr. Ji An, don't waste your talent. I believe that you will become the most terrifying hidden weapon master on this endless land in the future. From tomorrow onwards, I will not come here, because I have nothing to guide you, go on You just need to practice more." Tang Shan patted Ji An on the shoulder.

"More teachings from Master Tang Shan over the past year, and I will practice hidden weapon techniques more in the future."

Ji An assured Tang Shan.

……

Because there is no formation master in the Ji Clan's West Mansion, Ji Yichuan takes Ji An to the Ji Clan's Clan Mansion every half a month, and Ji Jiuhuo, the patriarch of the Ji Clan, personally teaches Ji An the formation technique.

The patriarch, Ji Jiuhuo, is not only a cultivator of the Zifu, but also a top master of the Ji clan.It is very appropriate for him to teach Ji Ning the common sense of formations.

Ji Jiuhuo started teaching with common sense at the beginning, and he found that Ji An's formation talent is really very good, no matter what he teaches.

Slowly until now, Ji Jiuhuo felt that Ji An's formation knowledge was not much worse than his, which made him very excited, and at the same time he didn't know where to put his old face. It's almost impossible to compare with a six-year-old doll. It's best to announce helplessly that Ji An has already left his teacher, and tell Ji An to study the formation well in the future.

In fact, it is not surprising that Ji An's knowledge of formations can be compared with Ji Jiuhuo's. After all, Ji An has "Chaos Formation Dao" and "Array True Explanation" as a foundation, and his progress must be rapid.

Of course, through communicating with Ji Jiuhuo, now Ji An has mastered the wishful four-element array and the five-party five-element array.But this is only a very systematic grasp, after all, Ji An doesn't have a suitable array for him now!

　Ji An has started to practice swords, and he is destined to become the overlord of swordsmanship in the future.
