Chapter 165 The name mandarin duck (2)
Lu Jian took a closer look. Except for the officers in armor, the soldiers in the formation were all dressed as farmers, with dark skin, scantily clad, straw sandals on their feet, and wooden sticks and bamboo guns in their hands.The equipment is very simple, but the formation is very neat, responding to every call, without any chaos.Lu Jian and Gu Zhen saw it and nodded.

After Qi Jiguang ordered his troops, he said to Lu Jian, "These soldiers are coal mining craftsmen from nearby mines. They are simple, powerful, tenacious and brave. These days, according to the terrain in the southeast, I compared the fighting methods of the Japanese and came up with a 'Yin-Yang' formation." , second brother, do you want to see and see?"

Lu Jian laughed and said, "I can't ask for it." Qi Jiguang smiled, and raised his voice, "Wang Rulong." A man came out of the formation in response.

Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "Wang Rulong, you usually think you are strong and skilled in martial arts, and no one looks down on you, do you?"

"Where are you talking?" Wang Rulong grinned, "There are some who can be admired, such as Mr. Qi!" When he spoke, his voice was like a bronze bell.Gu Zhen smiled unknowingly, and said in his heart: "This guy has a loud voice, and his tone is even worse!"

Qi Jiguang said, "Don't talk about it, I hired a capable man today, do you dare to compete with him?" Wang Rulong said loudly: "Okay." Qi Jiguang turned his head and said: "Second brother, you make gestures with him! "

Wang Rulong looked at Lu Jian, didn't say anything, but murmured in his heart: "This young man is thin and weak, what can he do?" He immediately unbuttoned his shirt and rubbed his fists together.Qi Jiguang said: "What are you doing?" Wang Rulong wondered: "Don't you want to compete?"

Wang Rulong shouted: "What? Eleven one-on-one, still using formations?" Qi Jiguang said: "That's right." Wang Rulong jumped three feet and shouted: "No, it's not fair." Qi Jiguang said: "Stop talking nonsense , still not accepting orders?"

There was a lot of discussion in the army, Wang Rulong glared at Lu Jian, shook his head, and said loudly, "Master Qi, I have a request." Qi Jiguang's face sank, "How dare you resist my military law?" Wang Rulong's neck stiffened, "You don't Promise, just cut off my head." Qi Jiguang was angry and funny, and said: "Okay, what conditions do you have, let's talk about it, if it doesn't make sense, see if I will chop your head off."

Wang Rulong pointed to Lu Jian: "I competed with him in strength, and he beat me, so I will bring my brother to fight him."

"Competition of strength?" Qi Jiguang said, "How is the comparison?" Wang Rulong grinned and said, "Whoever builds the stone tower, whoever is taller wins." As soon as the words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, and more than 3000 people clapped their hands and clapped their hands: "Yes, yes , build a stone tower, build a stone tower.".

Qi Jiguang looked back at Lu Jian, but before Lu Jian could answer, Gu Zhen hurriedly said, "Comparison is just a comparison. The mountains are not higher than they are, and the water is not deeper than they are." .

Wang Rulong took off his shirt and strode to the river. Hundreds of years of erosion by the river has cut the rocky cliffs to pieces.Stones, big and small, were scattered in the water on the shore. The big ones weighed a thousand catties, and the small ones weighed a hundred catties.

Wang Rulong walked up to a boulder that was taller than a person, lowered his waist, and the boulder was picked up by him.There was an uproar in the army, and Lu Jian was also moved, thinking: "This boulder weighs a thousand catties, this man is so strong!"

Wang Rulong walked seven steps, put the boulder on the bank, and then brought a smaller stone and built it on top of the boulder.Back and forth like this, there are three blocks in a row, three stones stacked on top of each other, straight as a tower, far higher than Wang Rulong's head.At this time, he picked up a boulder weighing four to five hundred catties, walked to the front of the pagoda, sank his horse step, let out a hey breath, and raised his arms upwards. .

"Amazing." Gu Zhen stuck out his tongue.Lu Jian also thought to himself: "This king's general has both internal and external training, and he is actually a master of martial arts."

Wang Rulong carried another boulder, lifted it up, threw it high, and stacked it on top of the stone tower.You know, carrying a huge boulder depends on your own strength, but throwing the boulder into the air half depends on strength, and the other half depends on the internal strength of your waist and hips. Whether it is high or low, and unbiased, if you want to land on the top of the tower steadily, you must control your strength very delicately.Otherwise, if it is placed on the wrong side, the stones will inevitably roll down, and if it is placed low, the stone tower will definitely be knocked down.Therefore, it seemed normal for Wang Rulong to hug and support, but Gu Zhen and Lu Jian both saw the difficulty.

Wang Rulong kept sending huge stones, and built the stone pagoda higher and higher. After a long time, it was as high as four zhang.The stone tower is getting higher and higher, and it is becoming more and more difficult to transport the stones.The stones Wang Rulong was holding were getting smaller and smaller, and it was more difficult to carry them. His face gradually turned red, and veins protruded from his forehead, but every time he built a huge stone, there was a round of applause from all around.

After laying the ninth boulder, Wang Rulong fell down and yelled, "That's it!" Everyone was shocked and clapped their hands in applause. Qi Jiguang glanced at Lu Jian with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lu Jian kept his composure, walked up to the stone pagoda, and said with a smile, "Borrow a stone from Brother Rulong." Without waiting for Wang Rulong to answer, he pushed both palms together, and with a "crack", the boulder at the bottom jumped out like a bullet. The upper half of the tower suddenly sank, but it didn't shake or sway, it was as stable as before.

This was a shock to the world, Wang Rulong's face changed drastically, and the others were even more stunned.

"Sigh," Lu Jian pushed again with both palms, and the boulder at the bottom jumped out again, while the stone tower above remained motionless.For a moment, Lu Jian pushed the boulders below one by one like a domino. The stone tower gradually became shorter from bottom to top, and finally the nine boulders scattered again.

"I borrowed the stones." Lu Jian said again, "I'm showing my ugliness, so I'll build a stone tower too." He picked up the smallest and lightest stones and put them on the ground, and built the next lightest stones on top of them. Contrary to Wang Rulong.Wang Rulong built the pagoda, the bottom of the stone was heavy and the top was light, but Lu Jian was heavy on the top and light on the bottom. Turning the stone pagoda built by Wang Rulong upside down, it looked indescribably weird.

The strange tower was built higher and higher, Lu Jian used Wang Rulong's method, picked up huge boulders, and sent them to the top of the tower, one piece was bigger than one piece, and one piece was heavier than one piece.Previously, every time Wang Rulong built a stone, all the soldiers applauded. At this time, everyone watched with bated breath, fearing that the strange tower would be blown down as soon as they breathed out.

Lu Jian's "Great Vajra Divine Power" combined with the "Heavenly Tribulation Controlling Military Technique", the strength is precisely controlled, which is rare and rare in the world.Not long after, Lu Jian sent his arms out, and the ninth huge boulder jumped up several feet, pattering on the top of the tower.From a distance, the stone pagoda is like an upside-down long sword, piercing densely into the soil.At this time, all the soldiers finally came to their senses, and the applause was like thunder.Qi Jiguang walked up to Lu Jian, held his hand, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile, "Second brother is really a god."

Lu Jian's face was burning hot, and he hurriedly said: "It's agreed to build a stone tower, whoever is taller will win, now it's nine yuan, I don't count as a win, and Brother Long doesn't count as a loser..." Before he finished speaking, Wang Rulong jumped up loudly Called: "Fart, fart, I say whoever is taller wins, that's building the tower upright, the young master's ability to build the tower backwards, I, Wang Rulong, can't catch up with him!" He has a strong heart, once he is convinced, he immediately bows down.Lu Jian hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Rulong, what do you beg me for?"

Wang Rulong said: "My lord, you don't know. When I was young, I met a Taoist priest of Huashan. He passed on my kung fu for half a year, and then he left for something. Before leaving, he said that his kung fu is called 'Giant Spirit Xuan Gong', which came from Taoism. I As long as you cultivate with your heart, you will be very capable in ten years, and you will have few opponents. However, if you meet a Vajra successor who knows the "Great Vajra Power" in the future, you must not be brave, and you must respectfully ask him for advice. The son of the gods Gai Shi must be the successor of Vajra."

Lu Jian was surprised when he heard that, nodded and said, "That's right." Wang Rulong was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow again, but Lu Jian rolled his arms and smiled and said, "Brother Rulong, I'll talk about it later, the military order is like a mountain, I still know your yin and yang formation Bar!"

Wang Rulong lifted his spirits and dragged a long bamboo, which was densely covered with branches.Another two sergeants came out, holding a moso bamboo together, forming horns with Wang Rulong.Before the moso bamboo, there were sergeants holding wooden shields and wooden knives, and behind the moso bamboo there were two bamboo spears and a piece of iron and palladium.The formation is led by moso bamboo, spread out from left to right, shaped like flying birds.

Gu Zhen saw it and laughed out loud.Qi Jiguang turned around and said, "Brother Gu, what are you laughing at?" Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Not to mention the power of this formation, but it's really not that good just by looking at it." Qi Jiguang smiled wryly: "Brother Gu doesn't know something. Beautiful, but beautiful is not practical, this formation looks ugly, but it is very useful.” Gu Zhen raised his thumb: “If it is practical, it is not beautiful, and if it is beautiful, it is not practical. A talent for ruling the world!"

Lu Jian suddenly said: "Brother, this bamboo..." Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "This moso bamboo is just the bamboo that my second brother had back then. It is very useful for close defense and long distance attack. It is the gateway of this yin and yang formation." .I gave this big bamboo a name, 'Wolf Whisk', a wolf is a ferocious thing, and Whisk means a broom."

"Good name." Gu Zhen clapped his hands and said, "Just use this big broom that looks like a wolf and a tiger to wipe out those pirates and thieves." Qi Jiguang nodded with a smile, and Wang Rulong said impatiently: "My lord, quickly pick one." Weapons, let's fight." Lu Jian shook his head and said, "I'll try without weapons first!"

If it were someone else, Wang Rulong would definitely take him for granted, but when Lu Jian said that, he felt it should be in his heart, thinking: "That's right, damn it, are those who use weapons still considered the successors of Vajra?" Then asked: "Qi?" My lord, how do you win this round?" Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "You win if you hit brother Lu." Wang Rulong laughed loudly, then suddenly shouted, shook the wolf's whisk, and swept towards Lu Jian.

Seeing the wolf's wand sweeping towards him, Lu Jian stretched out his hand to pry it away, but unexpectedly, two saber players rolled towards the ground and slashed his legs with their sabers.It was only then that Lu Jian realized that the wolf trap was ferocious, but it was a false move. It was to cover the sneak attack of the swordsman. Wolf Whip pushed away.

Suddenly a sharp wind hit his face, and the two long spears with red tassels were like blood. They turned over big guns and stabbed Lu Jian in two directions.Lu Jian dodged the spear. Seeing that the wolf's trap was old-fashioned, he turned over and snatched between the two wolf traps. Unexpectedly, the swordsman took advantage of him to dodge the spear and retracted. He pushed his shield forward to block Lu Jian's advance. The knife was used as a sword, and it was lifted from under the shield to Lu Jian's chest.Lu Jian flicked twice with his fingers, snatching the spine of the knife, and the knife player's mouth was in severe pain. If Lu Jian hadn't been merciful, the wooden knife would have been dropped.

Lu Jian used the "Great Vajra Power" in a hurry, and felt ashamed in his heart. Suddenly, the soles of his feet were blown, and two spears of palladium attacked up and down.Lu Jian leaned back, curled up his feet, and rolled up into the air. He was eager to win, and sent out his fists left and right. The two fists were like mountains and cities, and pressed down on the heads of the soldiers.

When he threw out his punches, everyone would find it hard to hold him back, so when he struck out, he still reserved half of his strength.Unexpectedly, just as he jumped up, Wang Rulong yelled: "Split." The formation suddenly changed, and they were divided into two teams headed by two wolf whisks.When the sergeants dodged, they circled around Lu Jian's sides. Wolf sticks and shields came out to seal his dodging position. Four sharp spears pierced through the bamboo branches, attacking one from the left and the other from the right.

This sudden change was so sharp that Lu Jian couldn't dodge it in time, and in a hurry, he used the "Heavenly Tribulation Controlling Military Technique", wrapped his arms around the four long spears, and was about to snatch them away, when suddenly he saw the sword player rush forward like a gust of wind, rolling forward.Lu Jian thought to himself: "I won with the gun, I don't know the strengths and weaknesses of the formation." So he let go of the spear, turned over and dodged the two knives, but the wolf and the palladium circled behind him again, two in front and two behind.The wolves danced, bamboo branches were all over the sky, drooping like long clouds, Lu Jian was in a hurry, and was almost swept away by Yi Palla who sneaked in.

Others saw that Lu Jian's movements were erratic, like ghosts and ghosts, and he was about to break through the "Yin-Yang Formation" several times.But according to the division and combination of the formation, one is divided into two teams at one time, three teams at another time, a frontal rampage at another time, and a group of encirclement at another time. The trick is to use the card, the gun is to save the gun, the short knife is to save the long spear, and the palladium is like an assassin. Assassin, always protruding and hurting people, the five types of weapons attack and defend in a cycle, and the strange and positive coexist, producing wonderful changes in impossible places, avoiding Lu Jian's ultimate move, and giving birth to a fierce counterattack.

All the soldiers were dazzled by the sight, and their moods were very conflicted. They didn't want the formation to be broken, but they were also amazed by Lu Jian's magical skills, lest he be defeated by the formation and lose his heroic style for the rest of his life.

Qi Jiguang knew that Lu Jian was powerful, and at first he was afraid that the formation he had painstakingly created would be easily broken by him. Seeing this situation, his spirits were lifted, and he pointed on the general platform, and talked about the formation with Gu Zhen: "The weapons in this formation are The five elements are like yin and yang in length, and their numbers are compared to the five elements. Spear gold, water, shield, soil, knife and wood, and fire. If used properly, it is like the mutual generation of the five elements, and it must not be broken; if it is not used properly, it is like the restraint of the five elements. Self-defeating in attack. The changes in strength and restraint are difficult to describe in a word. These five weapons are all in double numbers, in order to meet a strong enemy suddenly, they can be divided into Yin and Yang. , surround them together, and if the enemy moves, look at their weakness, unite the three talents into one, and attack them together."

Gu Zhen said: "Everyone knows a little about the changes of yin and yang, three talents and five elements, but since ancient times, there are not many people who have learned and used them." Speaking of this, he smiled, "General Qi, forgive me for talking too much. Although the formation is good, the name is not good." Qi Jiguang said: "Why is it not good?" Gu Zhen said: "The word Yin Yang is too general, people who don't know it will sound like brother Qi is a fortune teller, a Taoist priest who draws talismans, Isn't it a big misunderstanding?" Qi Jiguang laughed and said, "What name did you say?"

Gu Zhen pondered and said: "There are two wings in this formation, which open and close indefinitely, like a bird spreading its wings and soaring in the wind, so why not name it after the bird. There are two names of birds, including male and female, one is Phoenix, the other is Mandarin ducks. As the general said just now, beauty is not practical, and practicality is not beautiful. Phoenix is ​​the king of birds, with gorgeous feathers. The friendship is very deep."

"Well said!" Qi Jiguang clapped his hands, "From now on, this formation will be called Yuanyang formation!"

Just as he was talking, Lu Jian fought back vigorously, punching and kicking, all the soldiers staggered and wobbled, and suddenly heard a "crack", a spear was swept by Lu Jian, and flew out of the air.Qi Jiguang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Li Tongxian, your team is going to the east."

A tall man agreed in a deep voice, and led his team to form a mandarin duck formation, slowly approaching Lu Jian.Two small mandarin duck formations interspersed left and right, and turned into a big mandarin duck formation. The five elements reincarnated, and the power of the formation was doubled.

The formation became stronger, and Lu Jian also became stronger. He brought out the Vajra Appearance while galloping. With his left hand, he circled and crossed, and suddenly twisted two wolf whisks together, and he couldn't separate them no matter what he said.Seeing this, Qi Jiguang hurriedly transferred another team and commanded it himself.Just look at the three teams of mandarin ducks, two in front and one behind, forming a trend of three talents, one united and one divided, and they become two appearances.

Lu Jian became more and more frightened as he fought. The weapons around him were vague and erratic. Dozens of long and short weapons appeared correspondingly, which was similar to his "Heavenly Tribulation Control Art".The difference is that the "Heavenly Tribulation Controlling Art" relies on the "Tianjie Jieshou" to fuse all weapons, but now these weapons rely on the wonderful changes of the "Mandarin Duck Formation", with corresponding lengths and five elements. Unexpected power.

Lu Jian didn't expect that the military array was so effective, he felt his hands were tied and he couldn't use it. He panicked and let out a long howl. The "Great Vajra Power" and "Heavenly Tribulation Control Art" were activated at the same time, and he turned around and grabbed a wolf whisk. Turning around and sweeping away, he forced the formation out of the way, with the bamboo stick, he snatched two more wolf whisks, just as he was about to sweep away, the saber and poker player rolled to kill him.Lu Jian deliberately let him approach him, and followed him by two feet. The two teams of swordsman and poker players couldn't catch up and collided hard.
