I am Dugufeng in the Tang Dynasty

Kou Zhong got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body and complained: "Master is playing tricks on us again, every time he makes me and Xiaoling fall a few times, it's too bad."

Dugufeng snorted coldly, and said: "You still have the nerve to say that the sword is like a knife, and the strength of the sword is heavy, and the momentum is enough, but it doesn't have the agility of the sword. The sword I told you Have you forgotten the basics of the law?"

Kou Zhong couldn't help feeling embarrassed, scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "Master's lesson is, but I always feel that the sword is light and flimsy, and the stabbing is not strong enough. It's better to cut it with a sword. I'm happy when I hit it. Forget about it."

Dugufeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, Kou Zhong used a knife in the original book, unexpectedly he showed this tendency now.Although with Kou Zhong's aptitude, if he learns sword under her guidance, he can become a generation of masters, but at most his achievements will stop at ordinary innate masters.Every master-level master has to find the path he is good at. For example, her grandmother You Chuhong also abandoned the sword and used the stick when she was about 60 years old, and she became a master-level master by creating her own cloak and stick method.A person can only hope to reach the peak if he walks the most suitable path for himself, and he will only become more and more mediocre if he reluctantly walks the path that is not suitable for him.If Kou Zhong is forced to learn how to use a sword, it would be a waste of his talent in using a sword.Thinking of this, Dugufeng changed some of her original thoughts.

While thinking, Dugufeng let go of Kou Zhong and turned to Xu Ziling: "Xiaoling's swordsmanship is pretty good, but as a swordsman, the only thing you can trust is the long sword in your hand. The so-called unity of human and sword means Think of the sword as a part of your body. The sword is an extension of your body and will. You end up throwing away the sword and punching. Although it is good at the moment, this kind of behavior is seriously unqualified as a swordsman. Although a swordsman does not require It is so extreme that the sword is in the presence of the person, and the death of the sword is so extreme, but once the sword is released, there is nothing else besides the sword. If you don’t even believe in the sword in your hand, then what kind of swordsman is it.”

To Dugufeng's words, Xu Ziling was very convinced. Although he is more talented in using swords, he prefers the feeling of freedom with bare hands. When using weapons, he is always foreign, and subconsciously feels that he is not as good as himself. hands so reliable.Therefore, he nodded and said: "The master taught me that I was wrong."

Dugufeng smiled slightly and said: "It's not your fault. Although you have excellent talents, your temperament is not suitable for using swords. It is a waste of your talents to force you to use swords. Xiaoling, do you like it better? Be empty-handed."

Xu Ziling nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, I think it's more comfortable to be empty-handed, and the speed of the shot will always be faster than with the sword, and the control is more satisfactory."

As for Xu Ziling's kung fu, Dugufeng, who has read The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, is naturally clear. In the original book, Xu Ziling's nine-character mantra is very impressive in martial arts, but Dugufeng does not intend to let him learn Buddhism. The nine-character mantra, not to mention that Xu Ziling's disposition and Taoist thought are far more compatible than Buddhist thought, and learning Taoist martial arts is even more effective in getting twice the result with half the effort.Moreover, Taoism also has a set of nine-character mantras. Dugufeng once heard from her master that it is said to be a set of air restraint techniques secretly passed down by Taoism.Thinking of this, Dugufeng couldn't help but glance at Xu Ziling again. Xu Ziling was born with the intention of leaving the world, and his personality was like a wild crane. happy!

Dugufeng pondered for a moment, then said to Xu Ziling: "You and Xiaozhong are so gifted that it is rare to see each other in a hundred years. Since you like empty hands, forcing you to learn swords may hinder your development. In this way, you don't have to learn from me in the future. The sword, I will pass on the kung fu of your fist!"

Although Xu Ziling likes to use swords very much, he prefers to be empty-handed, and he is very happy when he heard this: "I would like to listen to Master's arrangement."

Dugufeng said again: "Xiaoling, your character is very suitable for Taoist martial arts. I happen to have a set of Taoist Taijiquan here, which was created by my brother Duguyun. It just suits you, so you should learn this set of Taijiquan first! "When Dugufeng was in college in her previous life, one of her elective physical education classes was Taijiquan. After coming to this world, out of a certain complex, she combined the Taoist martial arts she had learned with the Taijiquan postures and concepts she had learned in her previous life to create a The Dugufeng version of Taijiquan is her signature martial art carefully prepared for her Duguyun identity. In terms of development prospects, it is not inferior to the Heart Sword God Art.It's just that she focused on the way of swords herself, and gave up the development of boxing and kicking after her swordsmanship improved by leaps and bounds.Since Xu Ziling is suitable for boxing, Dugufeng is also very willing to teach him Taijiquan, and looks forward to him being able to carry forward Taijiquan, and walk a path that she has never had the opportunity to walk.

It was the second time for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to hear Dugu Feng mention Dugu Yun. Kou Zhong interjected curiously, "Tai Chi? Such an imposing name. I don't know which one is better than Heart Sword and God Art?"

Dugufeng glanced at him, but didn't answer him, and asked instead: "What do you think?"

Kou Zhong was glanced at by his master, he felt as if his whole body was being pricked by needles, he quickly smiled and said: "If you want me to say, of course it's the magic of the Heart Sword God Art. Master, isn't the martial art you created powerful!"

Dugufeng ignored his flattery, but turned around and asked Xu Ziling, "What do you think?"

Xu Ziling thought for a while and said, "The meaning of the master should be that there is no strongest martial arts in the world, only the strongest people. No matter how good martial arts are, only the right people can exert their greatest power. The master asked me to abandon the sword and learn Tai Chi should also be of this principle.”

Dugufeng nodded appreciatively, showing a teachable look, and said: "Xiaoling, you are very suitable for learning Taoist martial arts. Apart from the martial arts handed down by my family, half of what I have learned comes from Louguan Taoism. After you return to Chang'an with me, I will take you to see my master, that is, your ancestor, and you can ask him to teach you Taoist martial arts."

It was the first time for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to hear Dugufeng mention their sect, and they were both unfamiliar and curious about the name Lou Guandao.

Seeing that Dugufeng had arranged for Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Master, Xiaoling already has a suitable martial arts study, what about me?"

Dugufeng glanced at him and said, "Go get a knife."

Kou Zhong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Sure enough, master knows me well, and even knows that he likes to use knives." He happily ran back to the room and took out a knife.He ran to Dugu Feng as if offering a treasure, and said with his head held high, "Master, please give me some guidance."

Dugufeng said: "Since you like to use a knife, show me some tricks first."

Knowing that the master intends to test him, Kou Zhong roused himself up, drew out the treasured sword in his hand, came to the center of the courtyard, calmed down his mind, brought out the mental method of anger and sword fierceness, and entered the mysterious realm of separation of spirit and emotion.According to the feeling gained in more than a dozen battles along the way, he danced on his own.

He danced this set of sword skills is the most popular in Jianghu, but after more than a dozen battles, he was immersed in the anger that Xu Ziling was seriously injured that day, and he was within arm's reach, but there was no time to rescue him. Amidst the emotions, a feeling of grief and indignation immediately surged in my heart, I felt that every slash was a tactic of fighting for my life, and I forgot everything for a while.

"Splitting Huashan Mountain", "Sweeping Thousands of Armies", "Mount Tai Overwhelming"...the more you use these common tricks, the smoother they become. When you dance to the point of excitement, a cold blade bursts out from the edge of the blade.

Dugufeng watched and nodded secretly, Kou Zhong really has a talent for knives, some ordinary tricks in the world, he danced to him in a battle formation, fighting with a life-and-death aura, it can be seen that the force of the knife on his blade is not him Deliberately mobilizing the inner strength, but it burst out naturally. This level is only one step away from comprehending the saber energy.

After watching for a while, Dugufeng called to Kou Zhong, Kou Zhong was so excited that he stopped, and said excitedly: "Master, what do you think of my sword skills?"

A smile escaped from the corner of Dugufeng's mouth, and said, "Very good."

Kou Zhong was about to cheer when he heard the words, but he heard Dugu Feng immediately said: "It's just right for pruning flowers and plants."

Kou Zhong was stunned when he heard the words, but saw Qingxue, Xu Ziling and Duan Yucheng who were watching were snickering.Qingxue pointed at him lightly at the flowers and plants in the yard, and Kou Zhong realized that he was excited about dancing just now, and the knife force he inadvertently forced had stirred up fallen leaves and flowers in the yard, making a mess everywhere.

Dugu Feng ignored Kou Zhong's embarrassment, and said: "I see that when you wield your saber with great momentum, it has a taste of fighting on the battlefield. It is not suitable for Taoist skills. It is more suitable for the martial arts way of fighting on the battlefield. Here I am It happens that there is a set of 'Long March Saber Technique' that is very suitable for you to learn." Before Dugu Feng succeeded in creating the Heart Sword God Art, he tried many methods and created many semi-finished martial arts. This Long March Saber Technique is relatively successful. This work, although this set of sword techniques is named after Kou Zhong's sword technique of the same name in the Tang Dynasty comics, but the actual mentality is taken from the breaking of mountains and rivers, and the reforming artistic conception of blood and fire revolution. The will to change the moon into a new sky" was strong, but it also didn't fit with Dugufeng's character and was abandoned.Now it is suitable to teach Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong was excited when he heard it, and said, "Long March Sword Art? I like the name, it sounds very powerful, Master, teach me quickly!"

Dugufeng smiled slightly and said: "This set of Long March saber techniques, like my teacher's Xinjian Shenjue and Xiaoling's Taijiquan, are all self-created exercises, except my Xinjian Shenjue because I have been immersed in it for many years. , have reached the perfect state, the other two are not yet perfect, you need to constantly experience and supplement, how much you can achieve in the future depends on your comprehension. Do you have confidence?"

Hearing that the Long March sword technique was not perfect, Kou Zhong was not discouraged, instead he said with full fighting spirit: "Master, don't worry, we have confidence. Didn't you say, Master, that only the most suitable martial arts are your own, the martial arts of the predecessors It’s not all self-created, if the master can create a set of heart sword gods, we will naturally not embarrass the master, and we must carry forward the martial arts that the master passed on to us.”

Xu Ziling on the side also nodded vigorously, agreeing with Kou Zhong's words very much.

Dugufeng admired the attitude of the two of them very much, nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very good, my apprentice should have such ambition. In fact, if you follow in my footsteps, it will really restrict your development. But , I will also teach you all the seven verses of my heart sword. Swordsmanship, boxing, and swordsmanship, there are also many things that can be figured out. If one day you can completely digest and absorb my swordsmanship, create your own Xinyi Boxing, Xin Dao Dao, that martial arts can be considered a master."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling nodded vigorously together, and said solemnly: "We will not let Master down."

After deciding on Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's future path, Dugufeng didn't forget that she had another apprentice, so she waved to Duan Yucheng and said, "Come here, Yucheng!"

When Duan Yucheng approached, Dugufeng asked: "After listening to what I told your two senior brothers, what do you think?"

Duan Yucheng said: "The disciples are not as good as the two senior brothers." This sentence was sincere. Originally, seeing that the two senior brothers were younger than him, he was still a little bit unconvinced, but after watching the rehearsal between them and the master , Duan Yucheng found that the strength of the two senior brothers was impressively above him, especially the savvy shown by the two of them, which made Duan Yucheng even more admired.

Dugufeng smiled and said: "Yucheng, you don't have to belittle yourself. Although you two senior brothers have stepped into the innate realm by chance and saved a lot of trouble, but the foundation is not solid. In terms of real martial arts cultivation, you two Between. Your two senior brothers are superior in understanding, suitable for self-study and self-enlightenment, and find a new way, but you are superior in solid foundation, solid foundation, most suitable for steady and steady progress, following the steps of the predecessors, and reaching a high place. There is no superiority or inferiority, it only depends on whether you are suitable or not. As the saying goes, "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on oneself". Your future achievements will depend on your own efforts and luck. What I can do as a master is to teach It’s just to solve the confusion, you have to find your own way.”

Duan Yucheng nodded and said seriously, "I understand."

Dugufeng said again: "Your two senior brothers' martial arts methods are obviously different from mine, but they can't inherit my heart sword magic formula. You have a strong character, and you are smart. You are a good material to learn swordsmanship. You can't say that you will be a teacher in the future. It is up to you to carry forward the Heart Sword God Art."

Duan Yucheng was very moved by Dugufeng's affirmation, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for teaching me, master, I will definitely live up to my high expectations."
