Chapter 38 Sword Training Skills: Splitting Incense in the Dark Room
"Well, the two-handed sword is really good. This is what I am good at. In fact, since ancient times, swords have been more of a decorative item worn by literati or scholars. Before the Han Dynasty, the sword family was the only one. At that time, due to restrictions on metal Most of the types are copper, so the sword is made thick and heavy because copper is soft. Only by thickening the sword body can the sword not be broken easily.

The thickening of the sword body made it less comfortable to use with one hand, so the two-handed sword was born. "

While making tea, Mr. Gong explained to Qian Dong the knowledge about the two-handed sword.

Qian Dong listened very seriously and even forgot to drink tea.

"In fact, guns were used on ancient battlefields. When fighting, holding a long spear in one's hand could kill someone regardless of whether the person was trained or not. Most of the generals used long weapons, no matter how bad they were. Hold a long knife, because it is good for chopping and is very lethal.

Long knives were also used in battles in the rivers and lakes, which were more powerful when cutting. As time went by, swords gradually became the ornaments worn on the waists of scholars and literati, symbolizing status.

With the emergence of martial arts novels in modern times, the sword has slowly returned to people's attention. It is also because of the humility and gentlemanly demeanor in our Chinese bones that swords are more in line with our aesthetics, so it has not been buried. "

Mr. Gong said so much, which really opened Qian Dong's eyes. This is really knowledge that is not found in books.

"The two-handed sword mainly focuses on the four techniques of chopping, stabbing, stabbing and teasing. Do you know what is the most important thing in practicing the two-handed sword?"

After speaking, Mr. Gong looked at Qian Dong.

"do not know."

Qian Dong shook his head. He wanted to learn the two-handed sword as a temporary idea and did not study it carefully. Instead of making random guesses, it would be better to tell him honestly. Qian Dong has always believed that sincerity is the basis for being moved, especially in When asking for help.

"It's about accuracy and ruthlessness. In fact, no matter what kind of weapon, speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness are the fundamental purposes of training. Weapons are used to kill people. If you want to maintain your health, then practice boxing.

Most swords are used to kill people by stabbing. It is not as good as a knife to chop. Although it is not as good as a spear to point and stab, a sword is more flexible than a spear. Since stabbing is the main purpose, accuracy is the basis for practicing swordsmanship, speed is the basis for victory, and ruthlessness is Can you understand the basis for survival? "

Mr. Gong asked after he finished speaking.

"Well, I understand. If you are not accurate enough, you can only hurt people but not kill. If you are not fast enough, you will lose your flexibility, and there will be no need to hold a sword. Cruelty is the key to fighting. Weapons are different from fists and feet. A single oversight may lead to death. If you are ruthless enough, there will be no negligence.”

Qian Dong nodded, he could still understand this.

"Yeah~ Yes, that's what it means, haha."

Mr. Gong laughed as he spoke. Qian Dong's understanding is still high. If his understanding is not enough, then he might as well go back and continue practicing Baguazhang. Once he has practiced Baguazhang, he will hold two swords in his hands and use them when fighting with others. Instead of using your hands, you won't suffer any loss when fighting with a weapon-bearer.

"Now that you know this, practicing is very simple. In traditional swordsmanship, you don't practice swordsmanship routines at the beginning. Do you know the darkroom split fragrance?"

"I know. I saw someone on the Internet trying it. They held a sword with both hands and then chopped the lit incense."

Qian Dong told everything he knew.

"Yes, that's not right. I've also seen those videos on the Internet. They say they are about chopping incense in a dark room, but in fact they are just to attract people's attention. If it were that simple, the swordsmanship master would be worthless." Mr. Gong shook his head, obviously Although he is old, he is not out of touch with society. Watching videos is also something he loves to do.

"Grandpa Gong, what is the secret of chopping incense in a dark room?"

Shen Shishi asked a question on the side. She had been sitting aside, listening to the conversation between the two, but she did not feel bored at all. The main reason was that what Mr. Gong said was very interesting, and they were all knowledge points that she had not known before.

And now that she is preparing to cooperate with Qian Dong, it is necessary to start learning these. At that time, some explanations can be added to the video. As a descendant of her martial arts family, she knows more about these than ordinary people. , plus she is willing to learn, maybe she will be the Wang Yuyan of the video industry in the future.

"Haha, the video on the Internet is about holding a sword to chop incense. Let's not talk about how many times such a video has been successfully recorded. First of all, the way they hold the sword is wrong.

To chop incense in the darkroom, you must straighten your arms, use your wrists to exert force, and use the strength of your wrists to chop incense. The purpose of this is to exercise the strength of your wrists, so that the trained swordsman can have flexibility. "

As Mr. Gong spoke, he picked up the wooden frame used to hold tea leaves and gestured in front of Qian Dong. He kept talking and continued:
"The second step is splitting incense. Splitting incense doesn't mean using a sword to chop the incense head. In the past, the middle part of the incense was a bamboo stick, because bamboo sticks are easier to make into small branches. To split incense, you need to remove the inside of the incense. Split the bamboo in half, which is called darkroom splitting. You can also add weight to your hands during the splitting process.

After practicing this kind of darkroom splitting, you will be top-notch in terms of accuracy, strength, and flexibility. "

Mr. Gong explained the doorway inside clearly.

"It turns out that this is what secrets are created in a dark room. Speaking of which, those on the Internet are a bit unsightly."

Shen Shishi shook her head as she spoke. She really didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Haha, that's normal. No one is willing to practice so boringly now. It's not just a matter of a day or two. It takes day after day to see results."

Mr. Gong laughed heartily as he spoke. He seemed to enjoy chatting with young people. He had a hearty laugh and a boldness that was different from his withered body.

"Then what's next? After practicing the chopping of incense in the darkroom, can you practice sword practice?"

Qian Dong asked quickly from the side.

"No, this is just the beginning. Although Dark Room Pixiang has practiced the accuracy of his head and wrist, it is not enough. After completing this practice, he will have to practice his eyesight and the feeling of swinging the sword. This exercise is also simple.

Hold a sword in one hand and a mung bean in the other. Throw a mung bean and use the sword to chop it.When you get to the point where you can split a mung bean when someone throws it with your sword, then you can start learning to sword. "

While the old man was talking, a mosquito flew by. Living by the water is unavoidable. Although there are incense burning all the time around the yard, this mosquito didn't know what was going on. flew in.

Before the old man put down the wooden clip used to hold tea, he saw the old man in the mosquito palace narrowed his eyes and quickly stretched out his hand. When he took it back again, the mosquito had been caught by him with the clip.
