Chapter 110

Zhang Xiaohua happily walked towards the dining room. He had gained a lot from this morning, and it was also the most fulfilling and important morning he had ever had since he started practicing his fist arts.

Everything pointed to a beautiful future, and all that was missing was that final push.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Zhang Xiaohua. He jumped in fright and quickly stopped in his tracks. When he saw clearly, he patted his chest with lingering fear and said, "Elder Yu, even if your qinggong is powerful, you don't have to show off in front of me like this. As the saying goes, people can scare people to death. You appear and disappear so mysteriously. Fortunately, my heart is very strong."

Boss Yu said with a straight face, "How's your messy fist arts coming along?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and shouted, "Elder Yu, this is my privacy, how can you peek at it?

If you want to see it, you can tell me. If you don't tell me, how would I know that you want to see it?

If you don't tell me, you're hurting my heart. I'm going to report you to the village head. "

Elder Yu curled his lips and said, "I wouldn't even bother to look at your erroneous moves even if they were placed in front of me. Peeping? I don't have that kind of free time."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "If you didn't see it, how would you know that I'm practicing my fist arts?

How would you know that it's messy? "

Elder Yu said, "Who can't see you hiding under the tree every day to practice your fist arts?

Everyone only knows that you can't remember the entire set of fist arts, but I'm too embarrassed to say it. Do you think I don't have ears? "

Zhang Xiaohua's face turned red. He wanted to tell Elder Yu about his progress, but whether he was doing the right thing, and whether he could still remember the fist arts tomorrow, was still unknown. Thus, he told himself in his heart, "I'll endure it, okay?"

Then, he raised his head and asked Elder Yu, "Just treat it as me exercising my muscles and bones. You should at least encourage me. Why are you attacking my enthusiasm for no reason?

Enough, what exactly do you want? If you don't say it, the food in the dining room will be finished by Nie Er and the rest. "

Elder Yu rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you to wait for me under the tree where you practice tonight. I have something to tell you."

Zhang Xiaohua drooped her head and said, "Elder Yu, you've defeated me. Didn't you say that I wouldn't go tonight?

Do I need you to tell me? "

Elder Yu's crafty scheme seemed to have succeeded as he said, "I deliberately told you because I wanted you to pay attention to it and be mentally prepared.

Secondly, there's a dish of pork belly this morning. It's said that it's very delicious. Nie Er said that you always fight with him for it. He saw me just now and told me to tell you to go in a little later. He'll let you in after he's done eating. It's about time now. You should go. "

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Elder Yu's disrespectful behavior and said fiercely, "Elder Yu, you're ruthless."

After speaking, she dashed into the dining room like a wisp of smoke, as if there was a dog chasing after her.

At night, Zhang Xiaohua waited under the tree as Elder Yu said. Elder Yu didn't say when he would come over, so he calmly practiced his set of martial arts. When he was done, he heard someone cheering beside him. He looked up and saw that it was Elder Yu.

Elder Yu said with praise, "Zhang Xiaohua, I see that you're quite smart. These messy moves were actually practiced by you. It's almost like a real set of martial arts. It seems like I have to look at you in a new light."

Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly, "Elder Yu, I don't have a choice. You said this morning that I really can't remember the entire set of martial arts. I can only practice it myself. It's better than not having any martial arts to practice."

Elder Yu nodded and said, "Your determination to pursue martial arts is really good. There are thousands of paths to success in this world. As long as you can find one and persevere, even if there's no result, you won't regret it. One day, when you look back, you'll be able to console yourself with pride that you've worked hard."

Zhang Xiaohua thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder Yu. I'll work hard myself."

Elder Yu asked again, "Zhang Xiaohua, this set of martial arts of yours seems to be intermittent. You can't practice it in one go. It's like you can't finish a sentence and have to pause in the middle.

Although the competition doesn't have to be particular about routines, an intermittent set of martial arts will cause you to not be able to practice to the best effect. "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Yu, I heard that the highest realm of martial arts is to have no moves. My intermittent set of martial arts might be an evolution towards that realm."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "I don't know about the realm of no moves. That's a legendary realm. Perhaps only the top few in the martial arts world have it?

Perhaps it's just a legend. "

Zhang Xiaohua took the opportunity to ask, "Elder Yu, do you have a set of martial arts manuals?

I want to take a look. Can you lend it to me? "

Elder Yu was stunned and said, "Set of martial arts manuals?

I do. How come you know how to read them?

That's impossible. Aren't you illiterate? "

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Elder Yu, you're looking down on me too much. I was illiterate before, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to read now or in the future."

Elder Yu thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, the last time I went to your room, you were reading a book. Could it be that you learned how to read while you were recuperating?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Elder Yu is wise."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "But martial arts manuals are different from reading. Being able to read doesn't mean you can understand them."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Elder Yu, you don't have to worry about this. I've seen their collection of martial arts manuals at the Lotus Flower Escort Agency.

I should be able to understand it. "

Elder Yu said, "Alright then. Come to my room when you have time. I'll find a set of martial arts manuals for you to read."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Then I'll have to thank Elder Yu."

She then asked, "Oh right, Elder Yu, why are you looking for me tonight?"

Elder Yu looked at the full moon in the sky and said with a nostalgic tone, "Once you're in the martial arts world, you can't imagine the splendor of the martial arts world. Once you're in the martial arts world, time will make you grow old. Do you know, Zhang Xiaohua, there's a saying that goes, 'A person in the martial arts world has no choice'. Only you have one foot in the martial arts world. But whether or not you're willing, the winds and waves of the martial arts world will blow you away, leaving you no choice but to go with the flow."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and said, "Elder Yu, why are you telling me this? I haven't thought of entering the martial arts world yet."

Elder Yu looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said seriously, "Zhang Xiaohua, as long as you want to practice martial arts and learn fist techniques, then you will inevitably be contaminated by the martial arts world. You can't avoid this. Although you're still young, you seem to have already chosen this path. Unless, you give up on practicing martial arts now and wholeheartedly focus on farming in this villa."

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "I only practice martial arts to protect my family. Although I'm envious of the hot bloodedness of the martial arts world, with my skills, it's still too early for me.

Oh right, don't tell me you're going to tell me about the martial arts world today? "

Elder Yu said, "Don't be anxious, Zhang Xiaohua. I'm telling you about the dangers of the martial arts world because I want you to know that if you insist on practicing martial arts, then you must have the awareness to enter the martial arts world. And to survive in the martial arts world, the most important thing is to have the means to protect your life."

Zhang Xiaohua still didn't understand.

Elder Yu sighed and said, "Actually, I'm telling you so much because I want you to know the dangers of the martial arts world and dispel your thoughts of practicing martial arts.

You don't seem to understand the severity of the injury on your right hand. "

Zhang Xiaohua asked anxiously, "How serious is it, Elder Yu? Didn't the doctor say that I can still practice fist techniques?"

Elder Yu said, "The doctor didn't lie to you. You can practice fist techniques, but your right hand is already crippled. It's not very possible for you to really compete with others."

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked and said, "What's going on?

Elder Yu, you must explain it to me clearly. "

Thus, Elder Yu told her about Zhang Xiaohua's injury from beginning to end.

Zhang Xiaohua's face was ashen. She really didn't think too much about it and thought that it would be fine as long as her bones healed. But now that she heard Elder Yu's words, she realized that things were far from as simple as she thought. Since her fist couldn't effectively attack others, then it was naturally crippled. Then what was the use of practicing fist techniques?

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua's expression was strange, Elder Yu didn't continue speaking and waited quietly for a while.

When Zhang Xiaohua's emotions calmed down a little, he asked again, "Then, do you still want to practice martial arts now?"

Zhang Xiaohua still nodded and said with a determined gaze, "Practice martial arts, why not?

Didn't you say just now that I've found my own path, I have to walk it to the end? Even if there's no result, I won't regret it. My right hand is crippled, but I still have my left hand. Even if I use my left hand, I can still practice fist techniques well and protect my family. "

Elder Yu's expression was as expected and said, "Child, you're really a person who walks the path to the end.

I came here today for two reasons, and I've already said one. Since you don't want to give up on practicing martial arts, then I have a second suggestion. Are you willing to listen? "

Zhang Xiaohua sucked in her lips and said, "Of course I'm willing, Elder Yu. I know you're doing this for my own good."

Elder Yu said with gratification, "It's good that you know. I don't know how you moved me, but I actually find you pleasing to the eye."

Then, he continued, "Actually, in the martial arts world, the fist isn't the only thing that can save a life.

Most people use weapons, such as sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and the like.

Now that your fist is crippled, you can still practice with weapons. "

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up and said, "That's right, Elder Yu. You're really amazing, you even know this."

Elder Yu smiled bitterly and said, "This is just common knowledge in the martial arts world. Only an inexperienced child like you wouldn't know. Don't admire me so much, it'll make me feel ashamed."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "I don't have a choice, I can only admire you. But, what weapon do you think I should practice?"

Elder Yu said, "Actually, you can practice any weapon, as long as you can practice it well. Although there's a saying in the martial arts world, 'the spear is the king of a hundred weapons', 'a hundred staff skills, a thousand sabers skills, ten thousand swords skills', and so on, a person's aptitude and opportunities are different. Not all people practice the same weapon.

In your right hand's situation, it's best to practice a staff technique. "

Zhang Xiaohua frowned, "Staff technique?

I've never seen anyone practice it before. Elder Yu, where can I find someone to teach me? "

Elder Yu was happy and said, "With your aptitude and right hand, how can anyone teach you staff techniques?

Don't even think about it. "

Zhang Xiaohua said worriedly, "If no one teaches me such a simple staff technique, what's the point of saying so much?"

Elder Yu waited for a moment and said, "I don't know staff techniques."

Zhang Xiaohua pouted and said, "If you don't know staff techniques, how are you going to teach me?"

Elder Yu said again, "Our sect's martial arts will not be taught to outsiders before we accept a disciple."

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said, "Master, please accept this little disciple's bow."

She was about to kowtow when she finished speaking.

However, she was stopped by Elder Yu's arm and said, "Forget it. With your aptitude, I'll be angered to death if I teach you.

Just save it and let me live for a few more years. "

When Zhang Xiaohua steadied himself, he continued, "Although I can't take you as my disciple, it's a coincidence that I know a sword technique. I learned it by chance, so I can consider teaching it to you."

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and said, "Really, Elder Yu, you can teach me this sword technique."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "This sword technique is not a secret of my sect, so I naturally have the right to decide. I can teach it to you."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Then, thank you very much, Elder Yu. Eh ~, why is there only one sword technique?

Can't you teach me a few more?

Don't be too stingy with me. "

Elder Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Zhang Xiaohua ah, you lack the foundation of jianghu. When will I enlighten you?

This sword technique is different from a fist technique. A fist technique is a complete set that contains both offense and defense. It's a complete set that can strengthen the body. Some fist techniques can even be used to cultivate internal strength. On the other hand, most sword techniques are a complete set that can be used from start to finish like a fist technique. However, there is also a sword technique that has only one move. "

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and said, "One move? How do you do it?

You can't possibly do it like the fist technique I practice, right? "

Elder Yu explained, "In a competition between weapons, it's important to use one move to defeat the enemy. If you use a sword for half a day to determine the winner, then you'll be at a disadvantage.

In a competition between experts, it's fine if you don't move, but once you move, the winner will be determined. "

Zhang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue and said, "Then Elder Yu's sword technique with only one move, is it a high quality sword technique?"

Elder Yu smiled and said, "Whether it's high quality or not depends on the person using the sword. If I use it, then it's a killing sword technique, but if you use it, then it might be for others to watch."

However, Zhang Xiaohua still asked, "Why don't I understand? It's just a sword technique, how can you practice it?"

Elder Yu said, "Whether this sword technique is a complete set or if there are other moves, I don't know. At that time, I only practiced a single move with nineteen variations."

Zhang Xiaohua was flabbergasted and said, "One move?

Nineteen variations? "

Elder Yu said with a smile, "That's right. Just this one move has nineteen variations and they're all offensive moves.

I believe there are other defensive variations or moves, but I don't know of them. "

Zhang Xiaohua asked again, "Then, Elder Yu, I want to ask, is there anything different between sword techniques and fist techniques?

It's just that there are usually different variations in one sword technique. "

Elder Yu nodded and said, "You're right. Normal sword techniques are like this."

Only then did Zhang Xiaohua understand why she could understand fist techniques but not sword techniques. It turned out that there were so many things to pay attention to in the two techniques.

Thinking that she could learn a more profound sword technique, Zhang Xiaohua became even more enthusiastic and said, "Elder Yu, then please teach me now."

Elder Yu said, "I'm only telling you tonight. I can only teach you the specifics in the morning. You won't be able to see the subtle differences in the sword technique at night, so it's not easy to learn."

Zhang Xiaohua said again, "Then, Elder Yu, can you let me see the power of this sword technique?"

Elder Yu pondered for a moment and suddenly pulled out his sword from the scabbard with one hand and pierced towards Zhang Xiaohua's throat from a strange angle. Although Zhang Xiaohua could feel the sword's momentum and direction, her body's reaction wasn't fast enough. Before Zhang Xiaohua could move, the tip of the sword was already at her chin. Zhang Xiaohua didn't pay attention to it and threw a punch at the sword. The sword retracted and changed its angle at lightning speed, stopping in front of her eyes.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the sword tip that stopped in front of her and felt a sense of helplessness. This kind of mysterious sword technique was simply too powerful.

Elder Yu saw that Zhang Xiaohua wasn't moving, so he put the sword back into the scabbard.

He said, "How is it?

Zhang Xiaohua, is this move good? "

Zhang Xiaohua said in annoyance, "Of course it's good against a rookie like me, but I wonder how others will fare?

For example, Captain He. "

Elder Yu said proudly, "In front of this sword technique, you and He Tianshu are the same."

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were filled with stars. She wanted to learn this powerful move as soon as possible, but Elder Yu wasn't in a hurry and said, "Since I promised you and came looking for you, I will naturally teach you this sword technique.

However, you have to promise me two things. "

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Please tell me. Even if it's to wash your socks for ten years, I'm willing to do it."

Elder Yu said, "First, you can't tell others that I taught you this sword technique. Even if others know that you know this sword technique, you can't say that I taught it to you."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand, but she didn't ask. She only said, "That means I can't tell Captain He and my second brother either."

Elder Yu nodded.

Zhang Xiaohua said again, "Then, can I teach this sword technique to my second brother?"

Elder Yu thought for a moment and said, "This sword technique is too sharp. If it's spread, it will cause a storm in the martial arts world. It's better not to spread it."

Zhang Xiaohua agreed.

Elder Yu continued, "The second thing is that once this sword technique is used, there will be no return. Blood will definitely be spilled and it will harm heaven and earth. I hope that you won't use it casually, and you won't use it unless your life is in danger. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xiaohua fell into deep thought. Seeing that she understood, Elder Yu said, "I'm sure you understand now that this is a very powerful sword technique. I'm teaching it to you today so that you can save your life. I don't want you to bring it to greater heights. I hope you won't let me down and stain your sword with the blood of innocents."

Zhang Xiaohua bowed sincerely and said, "Elder Yu, I understand your intentions. I will definitely remember what you said tonight and won't harm the innocent."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "Actually, with your temperament, I'm not worried. You've been practicing martial arts from morning to night. Although your aptitude isn't good, you're not afraid of hardships and work tirelessly. I'm sure you'll have a bright future in the future.

Being able to learn this sword technique can be considered a bright pearl that doesn't need to be covered in dust. However, when you enter the martial arts world in the future, you have to be more careful and not be too hot-blooded. What you see may not be true. "

Zhang Xiaohua was confused. What you see may not be true?
