Chapter 24 Unknown Swordsmanship

The breeze in the morning blows gently with a trace of coolness. The light of the sun is soft and comfortable, shining golden all over.

On the campus in Liu Qi's house, Liu Qi only wore a short suit today and looked quite capable. But now Liu Qi is in a mess. The white shorts have been soaked in sweat and cling to his body, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Qi didn't know how many laps he had run. He only knew how to run around the edge of the school yard, and sweat flowed into his eyes. Liu Qi raised his hand and wiped it, but then he was covered with sweat. The rapid breathing sound makes the nasal cavity a little hot. His legs are like pouring lead, and every time he lifts it, he exhausts his whole body.

I don't know whether the eyes are blurred because of sweat or the result of fatigue. They can only distinguish the direction according to the refraction of sweatdrops. There is no place in the whole body that is not painful, and there is no place that is not tired.

Liu Qi is like an indefatigable machine, which runs slowly but never stops.

I don't know how many laps I ran and how long I ran. Liu Qi finally slowed down and changed it to walk slowly and shake. It seems that it is possible to fall at any time.

Ma Zhong looked at Liu Qi. Since Liu Qi woke up in the morning, he followed Liu Qi. Liu Qi said hello to him and rushed into the school yard, circled around the campus, running and doing all kinds of strange actions. Sometimes kicks, sometimes punches, and sometimes uses elbows.

Although Ma Zhong did not understand why the lord did this, he knew that these actions must be very laborious. He admired Liu Qi even more. This perseverance alone is not what ordinary people can have. Even some martial arts practitioners can't hold on for so long.

A man should be cruel to himself. He thinks he is cruel enough to himself, but he doesn't expect that there is anyone more cruel than him. And this person is still his master, Liu Qi, who has been a good man since he was a child.

With this, the lord is worth following.

Seeing Liu Qi stop, Ma Zhong came forward to help him, but was interrupted by Liu Qi. Ma Zhong had to follow him. He was afraid that Liu Qi could not hold on and fall.

Liu Qi moved slowly and took a deep breath. After breathing stabilized, Liu Qi was slightly cleaned under the service of Qinger Wan'er.

Liu Qi's awkward appearance scared the two little girls very much and thought that something had happened to Liu Qi. Fortunately, Liu Qi explained in time to calm down.

"Young master, pay attention to your health, which is most likely to be infected with wind and cold." While putting on a new dash for Liu Qi, Wan'er reminded her that her voice was soft and ethereal.

"That's right, I was shocked just now." Qing'er pouted and said, like a little daughter-in-law who was wronged.

Liu Qi's face was bitter on one side. This picture was too weak, and he was also deeply hurt by it. If he didn't pay attention to it in the future, it would be unfair. The first two assassinations were a lesson from the past, and he did not dare to be careless.

Yesterday, I heard from Ma Zhong about the martial arts realm that he has not even reached the quenching period, which makes him feel extremely insecure. Although he has guards, he does not have the habit of giving his life to others, so he has to work hard to exercise.

It seems that I have to continue tomorrow. I think like this in my heart and say, "I will pay attention to it."

After eating, Liu Qi came to the school yard again to look at the round arrow target in the distance. He casually took the bow and arrow from one side and shot an arrow at the target. Unexpectedly, he landed before reaching the target. Some unwilling Liu Qi shot an arrow again, and it was still the same. This aroused Liu Qi's competitive heart. One arrow after another, he shot the arrow in the arrow pot and still didn't hit it.

Liu Qi, who was a little annoyed, happened to see Ma Zhong, who was laughing and scolded himself for being stupid. There was an archery master next to him, but he didn't know how to ask for advice. Then he pulled Ma Zhong to teach archery.

Ma Zhong's archery can't be said. Just from the time he was able to shoot Huang Zhong, the master of archery, he knew how horrible his archery was.

For Liu Qi and Ma Zhong, he did not hide his own selfishness and gave his experience to Liu Qi. "Archery must first have arm strength. The bow is divided into nine stones, and one stone is 100 catties. The bow taken by the master is a three-stone bow, and it takes 300 catties of arm strength to pull it open. The master can try to change a one-stone bow, and then change the bow when you are proficient.

Liu Qi took a closer look and saw that there were three scratches in the middle of the bow, which seemed to be the number of stones marking the bow.

"Oh, I don't know how many stone bows Zhengping can pull now?" Liu Qi is curious about how this archer can pull a few stone bows.

"I can only pull the seven-stone bow now. Although the eight-stone bow can pull, I don't have the strength to master the accuracy." Ma Zhong said proudly that he learned martial arts from his master since he was a child, and he also learned bows and arrows. His talent for learning archery is higher than that of swordsmanship. His master also said that if he had not made a breakthrough in swordsmanship before the age of 30, he would specialize in archery.

"Eight stones is 800 catties. I didn't expect Ma Zhong's arm strength to be so strong." Liu Qi was a little shocked, and then asked someone to bring a stone bow to have a try.

When the arrow was in Liu Qi's hand, it was aimed at the target, but as soon as the arrow left, it tilted to one side. Liu Qi had no choice but to glance at the arrows flying around and looked at Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong casually picked up the bow that Liu Qi used just now and turned an arrow at the target. The arrow flew away from the bow and hit the bullseye. Because the end of the arrow was too strong, the end was still shaking and making a buzzing sound.

"The skill of archery is based on arm strength." A bow with an arm strength of 900 catties and an arm force of 800 catties. Only in this way can the bow be controlled. Ma Zhong explained.

Liu Qi understands what Ma Zhong means. I don't practice archery anymore. My arm strength can't be improved overnight. It's better to exercise my body first.

In the next few days, Liu Qi has been staying on the campus. He got up and ran in the morning. At noon, he did push-ups and learned some self-defense fists and foot skills with Ma Zhong. In the afternoon, he practiced swordsmanship. One day he was arranged by him, and there was almost no time to rest, because he knew that it would become more and more dangerous next. In the future, he may go to the battlefield, and the battlefield may die at any time. Now that you add a little chip to yourself, the more likely you are to live in the future.

Zhang Bo will appear on the campus on time when Liu Qi is practicing martial arts. He only looked at it quietly and did not disturb Liu Qi, but today Zhang Bo is a little strange. Ma Zhong will go out for a while these days, and Zhang Bo usually leaves after Ma Zhong leaves, but today he does not leave.

Liu Qi naturally noticed Zhang Bo's abnormality, but he knew that Zhang Bo would not hurt him, so he ignored the continued practice of swordsmanship, saying that swordsmanship was just some ordinary basic movements such as splitting and picking. Liu Qi did not despise them because they were basic movements, but practiced very seriously. A few days of practice are not without progress, at least much better than at the beginning.

With the sound of wind, the shadow of the sword flashes.

"call"

With a long breath, Liu Qi stopped practicing the sword and was about to wipe away the sweat all over his head, but he found that Zhang Bo was coming towards him.

Zhang Bo first looked at Liu Qi, and then took the sword from Liu Qi's hand. He didn't wait for Liu Qi to react and began to dance.

Zhang Bo's mysterious Liu Qi knew that he also shot down the flying arrow rain the day before yesterday, not to mention the martial arts vocational high school. Now Zhang Bo dances swords, and it won't be low. Liu Qi would not miss it and stared at Zhang Bo's every move.

Maybe he was afraid that Liu Qi could not see clearly. Zhang Bo's movements were very slow, but Liu Qi did not doubt his power at all.

This doesn't seem to be a sword, but a whip that Zhang Bo never leaves his hand every day. The long sword does not look awkward at all in Zhang Bo's hand, as if Zhang Bo should have taken this sword.

Zhang Bo's movements are so slow that even Liu Qi, a person who doesn't know swordsmanship, can see every move of him clearly. Every pause, every acceleration, and every transformation are clearly flashing in Liu Qi's eyes.

Zhang Bo's action is not surprising. It is also Liu Qi's practice of chopping, cutting, picking and cutting, but it is not the same. These simple movements did not stagnate at all in Zhang Bo's hand, and looked like a sword dance but with a trace of murder.

These movements are like the continuous change of clouds in the sky, and like the tide of the sea on the shore, which makes Liu Qi a little intoxicated.

I don't know when Zhang Bo's sword has begun to do it for the second time. It is different from the gentleness and elegance of the first time. This time, the sword is slightly faster, murderous, and extremely fierce. Liu Qi's whole body is a little cold. He can't figure out how there are two different artistic conceptions in the same archery.

"You can see it." I don't know when Zhang Bo has taken his sword and asked Liu Qi.

"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded. He had already seen that Zhang Bo was teaching him swordsmanship.

"Try it once." Zhang Bo handed the sword to Liu Qi.

The same action changed in Liu Qi's hand. When those seemingly simple movements were really done, Liu Qi found how awkward it was.

Liu Qi practiced very slowly, ten times slower than Zhang Bo. He needed to stop every move, and the gentle and elegant archery became extremely ugly in his hands.

Zhang Bo did not blame Liu Qi, but had a little more smile in his eyes and seriously pointed to Liu Qi.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the astringent movements became much more proficient in Liu Qi's hands. However, the gentle, elegant and awe-inspiring mood in Zhang Bo's swordsmanship was not reflected at all.

"Yes, yes, the young master is very talented. I thought that I had learned this set of swordsmanship all morning, but I didn't expect the young master to learn it in half an hour." Zhang Bo said with a smile.

Liu Qi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile, "That's learning. It's just remembering the moves. It's far worse than Zhang Bo."

Zhang Bo shook his head and said, "This set of swordsmanship can't be practiced overnight. It depends on personal understanding and perseverance. I've been looking at you these days. Your perseverance is not something that ordinary people can have. You will definitely make a career in the future. In this way, I am also worthy of the old lady." After saying that, there was a little depression on Zhang Bo's face and sighed.

"Mother? Zhang Bo, you know your mother, right? Tell me about it. I don't know what kind of person she is. Liu Qi looked at Zhang Bo expectantly, hoping to know about his mother from him. In Liu Qi's memory, his mother died as soon as he was born. He didn't know anything else. No one told him when he asked the people around him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Bo knew.

"Your mother's matter is very complicated. You know it's not good for you now. I'll tell you at a suitable opportunity later." Zhang Bo hesitated for a while and said solemnly.

Liu Qi looked at Zhang Bo. His temples were white, and his eyes were deep and contained a few rays. It was like seeing the changes of time and tasting all kinds of things in the world. Looking carefully, he was thick but free and easy, arrogant but not attracting attention.
