Chapter 79: Pine and Bamboo Swordsmanship
"Brother Liang, how could you... offend Master Qi Hai?"
Qi Lin was so anxious that his tongue was tied.
There was only one sword master in the martial arts hall!
If he offended him, where would Qi Xiuliang go to learn sword in the future?
Will he go to the master of the martial arts hall?
But the master Qi Hong's time is precious. He is either dealing with things at the martial arts alliance or tempering his blood and qi behind the martial arts hall to prepare for the future breakthrough of the skin refining realm.
How can he have the time to teach an ordinary apprentice?
If it were a martial arts genius like Chu Liang, perhaps he would devote some time to teaching.
But Qi Xiuliang is not a genius. His qualifications can only be considered above average.
"It's okay, Xiao Lin, there is still a long way to go. Take your time."
Qi Xiuliang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
After saying those words, his mind suddenly opened up, and he felt much more relaxed. His temperament seemed to have changed slightly.
"Brother Liang, what are you going to do in the future?" Qi Lin was very worried. Without the guidance of his master, Qi Xiuliang would probably have to give up the Shenshui Sword.
This martial art is too difficult!
Many disciples have learned it for several years but still cannot get the point, and finally they can only switch to simpler martial arts.
But even simpler ones still need the guidance of the master.
Without a master, Qi Xiuliang's future path will be difficult and he will not be able to make any progress.
"Brother Liang, I will help you listen to the lectures in the future!" Qi Lin came up with a solution, "Tell me any doubts you have, and when Master Qi Hai explains, I will raise them for you. Although the effect is a little weaker, it is better than nothing."
"Brother Qi, why don't you go and apologize?" said a disciple next to him.
"Master Qi Hai is angry, and it is definitely not okay to apologize now." Another disciple said, "Wait a few days, when Master Qi Hai's anger has almost subsided, Brother Qi, you can go and apologize to him, and be sincere..."
"No need to say more!"
Qi Xiuliang shook his head slightly and interrupted everyone.
He did not regret what he said, and it was even more impossible for him to apologize to Qi Hai.
Before he said that, he knew that he had to give up the Shenshui Sword.
"I've been practicing for a long time but I can only barely get started. I probably don't have the talent." Qi Xiuliang smiled, "Maybe it would be better to change to a simpler one."
"But simple sword techniques also require guidance from the master." Qi Lin said anxiously.
"It's okay. I think the Dragon Snake Sword is good."
"What?"
The other disciples were surprised.
"Dragon Snake Sword" is the martial arts of the "Dragon Snake Martial Arts Hall" in the county.
The name of this sword technique is very domineering, but it is also a second-rate martial art. Among many second-rate martial arts, it can only be regarded as middle-level, far inferior to the top-notch "Sinking Water Sword".
"Brother Liang, are you going to the Dragon Snake Martial Arts Hall?"
"Yes."
"But the Dragon Snake Martial Arts Hall is just a small martial arts hall. How can it compare to the Black Sword Martial Arts Hall?" Qi Lin was so anxious, "Brother Liang, let's go find the owner of the hall! Didn't you find the owner of the hall last time?"
"It's different this time."
Qi Xiuliang shook his head. The last time was because of Chu Liang.
The owner of the hall values Chu Liang, so he asked him to apologize to Chu Liang on behalf of the martial arts hall.
This time it was about Qi Xiuliang and Qi Hai.
Qi Hai was the master of the martial arts school after all, and even the owner respected him and would not force him to do anything.
"Brother Liang, this time it's also about Chu Liang, otherwise we..."
"No need to say more!" Qi Xiuliang waved his hand to stop, "I'll go out for a walk first. I've been depressed for too long recently, so it's a good opportunity to go and talk to Brother Chu."
After that, he left without waiting for everyone to say more.
He returned to his residence, took off the black clothes of the martial arts school, changed into ordinary cloth clothes, walked out of the martial arts school gate, went to the wine shop to get two pots of wine, and then went to the braised meat shop to buy a few pounds of braised beef.
He carried the wine and braised meat to the door of Qiu Dao Martial Arts School and asked someone to inform him.
"I am Chu Liang's good friend, please let me know, just say Qi Xiuliang is visiting."
"Wait a minute."
A young disciple hurried to inform Chu Liang.
Not long after, Chu Liang came out.
He smiled and asked, "Brother Qi, today is a nice day for martial arts training. Why did you suddenly come out?"
"I did something I always wanted to do, and I felt happy, so I came out for a walk."
Qi Xiuliang handed a pot of wine to Chu Liang.
Chu Liang took the wine with a smile and invited Qi Xiuliang into the martial arts hall.
At this time, Qi Xiuliang was wearing a cloth robe, so it was nothing to enter the martial arts hall.
The two came to Chu Liang's personal courtyard, sat opposite each other, drank and talked.
After three rounds of wine, Chu Liang asked, "What happened? Why did you take off your martial arts hall robes? Are you going to leave the Black Sword Martial Arts Hall?"
He was not a fool, and he could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
Qi Xiuliang smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. Brother Chu, you will know it sooner or later, so I won't hide it."
He drank a glass of wine and briefly talked about what happened in the martial arts hall before.
Hearing this, Chu Liang was surprised.
In order to help him argue, Qi Xiuliang gave up the strongest "Sinking Water Sword" in the county and turned to learn the ordinary "Dragon Snake Sword".
Most warriors only care about their own interests. It is rare to do this for others.
"Brother Qi, can you practice your swordsmanship once?" Chu Liang asked him.
"Of course."
Qi Xiuliang laughed, put down the wine glass, and stood up immediately.
Clang!
A cold light flashed.
He drew his sword out of the sheath and began to practice his own swordsmanship in the yard.
Chu Liang watched carefully, his expression focused.
After watching for a while, Chu Liang discovered that the swordsmanship that Qi Xiuliang was good at was the same as that of the other disciples of the Black Sword Martial Arts School, which focused on guarding, entangling, etc., but was mediocre in terms of offense.
"This characteristic comes from the "Sinking Sword". The biggest feature of this martial art is that it is good at defense but not good at attack. The sword's power is like soft water." Chu Liang thought to himself.
Practitioners of this kind of martial arts must have a good mentality.
You must be calm and collected and not too impatient.
When facing an enemy, you don't want to kill the enemy immediately, but only need to slowly entangle the enemy to exhaust his strength, and then seek to counterattack.
However, the "Dragon Snake Sword" that Qi Xiuliang plans to learn next is famous for its killing.
The dragon sword is fierce, the snake sword is sinister, the sword moves change unprovoked, and each move contains strange murderous intent.
This kind of swordsmanship is obviously not suitable for Qi Xiuliang.
After a while, he finished the demonstration and asked with a smile: "Brother Chu, how is my swordsmanship?"
"good!"
Chu Liang responded with a smile and said bluntly: "Brother Qi, that "Dragon and Snake Sword" is not suitable for you."
"I know."
Qi Xiuliang nodded and sat down. Of course he knew what he was best at.
But apart from the Black Sword Martial Arts School, only the Dragon Snake Martial Arts School is famous for swordsmanship in the county.
There are other small martial arts schools that teach swordsmanship, but they are not as good as these two. The swordsmanship masters only have three or even two streams of Qi and blood.
Qi Xiuliang himself is a warrior of both qi and blood!
Therefore, Dragon Snake Martial Arts School is his best choice.
"Brother Qi, don't be impatient, let me think about it."
Chu Liang pondered for a moment.
If he hadn't argued for him, Qi Xiuliang would not have ended up in this situation.
Chu Liang couldn't let this matter go.
After a moment, Chu Liang raised his head and asked, "Brother Qi, do you trust me?"
"Of course I believe it!"
"Well, come here tomorrow and I will teach you a swordsmanship myself!"
"ah?"
Qi Xiuliang was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.
What did he hear?
Chu Liang, a swordsman, actually wants to teach him swordsmanship?
He did trust Chu Liang, but this trust was based on Chu Liang's character and temperament, not Chu Liang's martial arts.
"Brother Qi, don't be surprised!" Chu Liang said calmly, "You have to know that all methods are interlinked, and sword techniques and sword techniques have something in common."
"Yes, all laws are interlinked, I understand that, but..."
Qi Xiuliang looked a little strange.
Those who can confidently say that all laws are connected are basically master-level figures.
But Chu Liang was only in the blood coagulation realm, and had not even reached the level of skin refining. He was not even up to the threshold of a third-rate master in the arena.
"Brother Chu, it's not that I don't believe you. You are a swordsman after all." Qi Xiuliang smiled bitterly. He and Chu Liang were good friends after all. There was no need to be too tactful about these words. Just say them if you wanted to.
"Brother Qi, I won't lie to you!"
Chu Liang also spoke very directly, and said to Qi Xiuliang, "Just come here tomorrow. Then I will teach you a sword technique that is not weaker than the "Sinking Sword"."
"Not weaker than "Sinking Sword"?"
Qi Xiuliang's eyes widened. "Sinking Sword" was recognized as the number one sword skill in the county.
Where can Chu Liang find a book that is not weaker than "The Sinking Sword"?
Is it a martial arts alliance?
Qi Xiuliang is also a member of the Martial Alliance and has visited the library of the Martial Alliance a long time ago. He knows very well that there is no swordsmanship in the Martial Alliance that is stronger than the "Sinking Sword".
"Brother Chu, don't be joking."
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"this……"
Qi Xiuliang wanted to nod, but when he saw Chu Liang's solemn and serious look, he finally shook his head twice.
No matter what, Chu Liang was doing it for his own good after all.
He sighed, not having any hope for this.
It doesn't matter whether he can show that martial arts skill, as long as Chu Liang has the intention.
"Forget this matter, let's talk about Wu Neng." Qi Xiuliang changed the topic, "Brother Chu, Wu Neng has been spreading rumors about you for more than a month. Have you ever thought about counterattacking him?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but I have to do it slowly..."
Chu Liang has been letting two little mice monitor Wu Neng and his group.
When the time is right, he will take action and catch all those guys.
You must act decisively.
Don't give the other party any chance to react.
Wu Neng and others' behavior of spreading rumors may seem to make their opponents feel uncomfortable, but in fact it exposes their thoughts, which is of no use. Instead, it will make their opponents wary.
The two drank and chatted until the evening.
The sun is fading.
A line of wild geese flew across the sky.
"It's getting late."
Qi Xiuliang glanced at the sky, said goodbye to Chu Liang, and left the Autumn Sword Martial Arts School.
Although he didn't quite believe in the martial arts Chu Liang said was more powerful than the "Sinking Sword", he still promised to come tomorrow.
After he left, Chu Liang immediately went to the black market.
There are exercises and martial arts for sale on the black market, but they are very common.
For example, you can buy a copy of the famous "Nourishing Blood Technique" for ten taels of silver. It is an introductory technique for many warriors.
There are also some widely circulated martial arts skills, such as "Iron Sand Palm", "Rock Stick", etc., which are sold on the black market and can be learned in various martial arts schools.
"I remember selling the "Green Pine Sword" on the black market. This sword technique is widely spread in the world and is famous for its defense and toughness. It is similar to the "Sinking Water Sword".
The martial arts skill "Green Pine Sword" can only be regarded as average among many inferior martial arts skills, and cannot compare to the top ones like "Sinking Water Sword".
But Chu Liang doesn't care, he has a guide to evolution.
He hurried to the black market and walked around the stalls in the black market. He found that several stalls were selling this martial art.
