Chapter 96 Technique and Tao
In the caravan station of Jingjia Trading Company.
A piece of news spread like wildfire.
"What? That tiger lady made a bet with someone? Is it the new young hero?"
"Ah? Does anyone still dare to argue with that tiger lady? Oh, she is also a top-notch master, right? There will be a good show to watch."
"Did you hear that? It seems that the woman's sword was cut off. She said that the swordsmanship she was proud of was no better than Xiao Shu'er, which made the tiger woman angry to death!"
However, unlike Li Qi's expectation, he would be isolated by the entire caravan because he offended his original guards. Everyone in Jingjia Trading Company seemed to be gloating about his misfortune, and some even came to Li Qi to help him. Come on.
He suddenly went from being unknown to anyone and the bodyguard hired by the shopkeeper to becoming everyone's hero.
He even imagined someone shouting: "Don't lose! Big brother with a long knife!"
Damn it, how popular is this Jing Yan?
However, judging from her stubborn attitude towards swordsmanship, I guess she is usually very arrogant. Even shopkeeper Jing described her like this when introducing her: "Her mother died young and her father was strict, which led to her withdrawn character. Apart from practicing martial arts, she has almost no activities." Other hobbies.”
Fortunately, although she is withdrawn, she is not unreasonable, so in order to prove her cherished swordsmanship, she agreed to Li Qi's bet.
What bet is this?
This was the situation at the time.
"Bet? What are you betting on?" Jing Yan stopped and looked at Li Qi suspiciously.
"I have already said that my little sister is not without cultivation, she is just not good at fighting. However, her cultivation path is extremely good at detecting weaknesses and flaws. Why don't you change your sword and practice your swordsmanship... swordsmanship Show it to my little sister. I will go back one night and try it tomorrow. I will break it, so that I can verify whether my little sister is talking nonsense. What do you think, Sister Jing?"
"If I lose, then I will definitely let her make amends and apologize to Sister Jing. Sister, as an adult, can give me a small amount of punishment. It will be used as an education for the child so that she will not dare to say arrogant words in the future."
"If I win, it will prove that what my little sister said is true. I will not ask for an apology. I will also give away the weaknesses I have discovered with both hands to help my eldest sister's martial arts to a higher level. What do you think?"
Li Qi's words were clear and coherent, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Jing Yan look at him with a high gaze.
Therefore, she did not refuse, but asked: "Are you using a knife or a fist?"
"How can the body withstand weapons? Of course it's a knife." Li Qi replied.
"Your sword skills are far worse than your boxing skills." Jing Yan said with a hint of ridicule.
Li Qi had no choice but to smile.
There was no way, he didn't know how to use swordsmanship in the first place. Even for Li Liuyi, he only had training skills, not fighting skills, and he didn't know the corresponding weapon training methods.
It's not that Shen Shuibi hides his secrets, but because she doesn't know how to do it either.
For this kind of thing that is used as a foothold in Luofu Mountain, she knows how to practice, and she is already very free. How to play? do you need?
She is a powerful fifth-level girl, but can she still use the eighth-level skills?
Therefore, Li Qianqi still used Paibo Jin's style of play, relying on the progress bar and He Liliu's instant burst ability, and abruptly interrupting the opponent's movements, so that he could be praised as "good in boxing and kicking skills."
Sword skills?...
Let's put it this way, when Li activated his sword, he couldn't stop beating other people's progress bars when he saw them.
To him, this long knife is probably equivalent to a hatchet after being enchanted with sharpness. It can add some attack power at critical moments. It is usually a fire stick or a cane.
As for why you keep holding it in your hand?
Of course it's just to show off.
By the way, he misleads others and makes them think he is using a knife. Then at the critical moment, he takes off the willow branch and whips the person, and the effect is effective once he keeps it.
However, with no choice but to do so, Li Qi still raised his hand and replied: "Of course it is better to use a knife. If my poor sword skills can defeat the eldest sister's sword, wouldn't it be more proof that what my little sister said is true? "
"Okay! Then I'll practice it for you! Let your little sister watch it! If you lose, I want her to kneel down and apologize!" Jing Yan said arrogantly, and then asked someone to take an ordinary long sword and practice Develop your own swordsmanship.
Shen Shuibi listened to the whole conversation and knew what her responsibilities were. Besides, this matter happened because of her, so she naturally read it carefully and carefully.
To be honest, Li Qi had never seen Rabbit be so serious.
This was the situation at that time. After the bet was made, it was impossible for the caravan to be delayed because of this, so it set off that night.
Li Qi still took some time to take a last look at Lao Ma, and found that the guy was well fed and sleeping, and was very lazy and comfortable. He ate fruit in the morning, grain at noon, supplemented with fodder and beans in the afternoon, and had different supper at night.
Li Qi also gave him a thousand yuan in compensation, because he ate too much and the money he paid in advance was not enough.
Forget it, it's just to let him gain weight, so that's fine.
After taking care of this matter, he hurried back and set off with the caravan. On the ox cart, he began to communicate with Shen Shuibi.
After all, they are ninth-level masters, so they gave Li Qi and Shen Shui Biteng a bullock cart.
It can't be said that they are specialized. There are still some goods on the oxcart, but unlike other people who live in crowded places, their oxcart is much looser.
"Tomorrow, I will let you defeat that liar!" Shen Shuibi's face was full of anger, she waved her fist and said viciously.
Although she was said to be vicious, she actually looked cute. After all, she had no murderous intent or hatred at all. She looked more like a child who had been wronged and was holding back her breath.
"Okay, okay, I will make her apologize to you! But what did you see today?" Li Qi asked.
"They are all flaws, they are all weaknesses! There is no redeeming quality. How dare you say that you are a kendo...does something like a sword deserve praise?" At this point, Shen Shuibi became even more angry.
"It's just a man-made artifact. Even if there are many people who use swords, do you dare to claim Tao? Xiaoshu!" Shen Shuibi said very unhappy: "Tao must have representative ideas, a complete system of thoughts, and the ability to realize itself. The method of thinking about goals and having your own unique analytical theory about heaven, earth, all things, and all sentient beings can be called the Tao!"
"How dare you say what you yelled at anything! It really makes me so angry!" Shen Shuibi even jumped. This was the first time Li Qi saw her so angry.
Even more irritated than if I had licked my bunny ears.
It seems that the fact that someone despised "Tao" really dissatisfied her.
But...it's true.
In Li Qi's understanding, "Tao" is a rule, the law of the movement of heaven and earth.
Swords are nothing more than man-made weapons. The ability to use a sword is so incredible that it is called swordsmanship. Trying to call it swordsmanship is simply an insult to the word "Tao".
