The All-Heaven Road from Wudang

Chapter 228 Quota
"Is that right? Come, come, come to my courtyard."

Li Li warmly greeted Wang Xi to go in.

The small courtyard is clean, except for a well, an old pine tree, and a stone table, there are no other decorations.

A look of disappointment flashed in Wang Xi's eyes. He felt that he should not trust Mr. Mo. How could it be possible for a master to have no weapons in his family?

Thinking of Mr. Mo staying behind closed doors for more than a month except going out to buy books, Wang Xi became more and more convinced that Mo Li was just a simple scholar.

He said: "Otherwise, forget it, Mr. Mo, I won't disturb your study."

"Why, don't you believe me?"

Mo Li couldn't see through his small thoughts, but he had already passed the stage where he needed to practice swordsmanship every day. For him, understanding swordsmanship was better than swordsmanship.

He smiled and said: "I've come here, so I'll give it a try, maybe I'll gain something. You sit cross-legged under the tree."

This is also the reason Wang Xi thinks about. Anyway, Zuo Ming will lose tomorrow, so try it.

At that moment, he sat down cross-legged, looked at Li Li, and waited for the next words.

"My master once told me that a good swordsman must be calm. No matter when the opponent's sword stabs him, he must not panic. This is a qualified swordsman."

Mo Li smiled and said: "For one night, as long as you calm down, you will definitely win against your senior brother tomorrow."

Can you win by calming down?

Wang Xi finds it unbelievable, but he seems to have heard this truth from the owner of the pavilion, but the owner of the pavilion has never emphasized the importance of meditation.

"Then what to do?"

Wang Xi asked.

"You don't have to do anything, put your sword across your knees, feel the surroundings with your heart, and don't be impatient." Li Li said.

Wang Xi closed her eyes as she said, quietly feeling the surrounding environment.

It was dark, dark, and he couldn't feel anything.

A quarter of an hour passed, and he felt a little irritable, and distracting thoughts emerged in his mind.

"Peace!"

Suddenly there was a soft drinking sound beside his ear, the voice was like Huang Zhong Dalu's, with a kind of cleansing power to cleanse the heart, it immediately dissipated all his flying thoughts.

The surroundings were quiet again, so he sat there like that, quietly feeling the wooden sword on his knees, feeling the coolness blowing by the night wind, feeling the singing of birds and insects, in a trance, he seemed to re-understand the world , a world without color, but still exciting enough.

In the darkness, his heart was extremely quiet and no longer restless.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of strong wind coming from the front, without any hesitation, he raised the long sword in front of him, stabbed straight, and there was a soft puff sound, he took a closer look, and there was already a piece of wood on the wooden sword. dead leaves.

It's fallen leaves!
Wang Xi looked at the big tree above his head, and felt a little unbelievable. The leaves were falling, soundlessly, and their trajectory was uncertain. Even if he opened his eyes and looked at it, he might not be able to stab it, let alone with his eyes closed?

"Okay, it's done!"

Li Li nodded, looking like a teachable child, and said: "You comprehend it faster than I thought, go ahead, you will definitely win tomorrow."

Is this the end?
Wang Xi, who walked out of the yard, was still in a daze, so Mr. Mo, who boasted that he could find few opponents in the world, dismissed him with a word of meditation?
Didn't teach any sword moves, didn't see that his sword skills were insufficient, and didn't mention some inner skills, just let him meditate there for a while?

But that sword seemed to be really powerful, and he stabbed the fallen leaves without opening his eyes.

But whether he can deal with the second senior brother, Wang Xi still has no idea, maybe a blind cat ran into a dead mouse?

On the second day, the competition inside the martial arts hall was just beginning.

Wang Xi came to the stage with a wooden sword in hand, bowed to a boy in black, and said, "Second Senior Brother, please advise."

All the brothers and sisters next to him laughed inwardly, this Wang Xi is really crazy, he has lost so many games in a row in the past few days, and yet he still dares to go on stage, it would be better to admit defeat neatly, what an idiot.

On the contrary, the owner of the pavilion nodded slightly, showing perseverance, this vigor is a good seedling of martial arts, but he has to be informed that the gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years, lest he will be hit by a bloody head in the future.

The second senior brother shook his head and said: "Why bother, it's fine if you don't come on stage, why go up to ask for trouble, you don't hide it from you, my internal strength has already reached the state of accumulating energy."

Great success in storing energy is considered third-rate in martial arts, while small success in storing energy is not top-notch. However, among the boys and girls in these martial arts gyms, small success in storing energy is already very good, after all, they haven't joined the entry school yet.

Wang Xi's face was full of determination, and he didn't intend to step down at all. After saluting, he still swept away the army with one move.

Without hesitation, the boy in black made a trick of the immortal to guide the way.

His wooden sword hit Wang Xi's wooden sword, and Wang Xi couldn't bear the force, so he took a big step back, and the boy in black was so unreasonable that he used the style of Boundless Falling Wood!
Immediately, the two sword shadows attacked Wang Xi, one up and one down, and they looked exactly the same, and they couldn't tell the truth from the fake!
However, Wang Xi did not panic, he closed his eyes, his heart sank into the darkness, and felt with his heart.

call out!
A slight gust of wind blew by, and he stabbed out suddenly with his sword. The speed was even faster than before, but still calm, and he hit the opponent's shoulder blade all at once.

"Ouch!"

The black-clothed boy suffered from pain, and could no longer hold the long sword in his hand, and fell to the ground.

"You...how can you close your eyes and not look at my sword, you are cheating!"

The boy in black had a look of grief and indignation. He couldn't figure out that the two sword shadows he used to confuse people would be deciphered by closing his eyes like this.

All the disciples were shocked. Wang Xi, who was beaten up a few days ago and had no strength to fight back, won just like this, with only two moves? !
Won!Really won!
Wang Xi was indifferent to the second senior brother's words, and was indifferent to everyone's eyes. He was only immersed in his own world. Mr. Mo's teaching turned out to be correct, and it was really useful. Under meditation, the other party's endless falling trees made it difficult to confuse himself!

"Wang Xi, is this the solution you came up with?" the owner asked blankly.

"Yes……"

He was about to tell Li Li, but when he opened his mouth, he subconsciously hid the past, saying: "Master, the owner of the hall, it was the disciple who thought of it."

"You are quick-witted, but it's a little cleverness, so don't rely on it too much. The most important thing for you right now is to practice your swordsmanship well."

The owner of the museum gave a few words of advice, then walked away with his hands behind his back, and said in a vague way: "The boundless fallen wood can still be broken like this, why don't you look at it..."

The second senior brother thought for a while before, with an expression of disbelief, he said: "Let's compete again!"

Wang Xi was nervous for a while, he only knew this trick, how could he catch it if he didn't use Boundless Fallen Tree? !

Wait a minute, it seems that Boundless Falling Tree is already the second senior brother's strongest move, and the rest of his moves can't help him.

Thinking of this, Wang Xi said with some anticipation: "Okay, second senior brother, please enlighten me!"

This time, the boy in black didn't wait, and took the lead.

The three moves in succession were all powerful and without fancy moves, which forced Wang Xi to retreat again and again, and he was about to fall off the ring.

He had a smug look on his face, as long as there was another sword strike, the opponent would definitely not be able to catch it!

Oops!

Wang Xi saw the opponent's powerful and heavy sword slashing towards him, feeling a burst of despair in his heart. Sure enough, his internal strength surpassed his own, so he couldn't win?

In times of crisis, for no reason, that pretty face appeared in his mind.

"Calm down!"

Mr. Mo's voice seemed to be heard in his ear.

Subconsciously, he closed his eyes, and in a dark world, all his distracting thoughts disappeared at once, and his thoughts were unprecedentedly concentrated!

call out!
When the sound of piercing the sky came, his whole body was shocked, that's where it is!

Without hesitation, he stabbed with his sword!
"Ouch!"

The second senior brother let out another scream, stepped back a few steps, and dropped the long sword in his hand to the ground again, his whole face was filled with disbelief!

He covered his shoulders, and said anxiously: "You... how could you close your eyes again?!"

Wang Xi was very happy, it turned out that meditation is so powerful.

He held back his smile and said, "Brother, I admit it!"

This time, the second senior brother didn't bother to fight any more, because his shoulder blade was stabbed by the wooden sword, and he might not be able to use force for three or two days.

"Wang Xi, that's right, you can follow me to the evening competition."

The owner of the museum said seriously, they have three quotas for going back to Yan Wuguan, and they didn't want to take Wang Xi there at first, but overnight, this kid seemed to be enlightened. The representative went back to Yan Wuguan to fight against those peers.

As for the results, apart from the big disciples whom he placed high hopes on, the other two mainly used this experience to practice. Their battlefield is in the future, not the present.

Wang Xi was surprised and happy, but said anxiously: "Master, the owner of the hall, can I do it?"

"Try it and you'll know." The owner responded with a smile.

Once you participate in the Martial Arts Competition, you can easily join the sect, and even get mixed up with the Escort gang, and your livelihood will be basically settled in the future...

Such a good thing happened to him, it was hard for Wang Xi to suppress the joy in his heart, not to mention the opportunity to be valued by the Hengshan School, which is one of the most righteous sects in the world.

"Meditation, meditation, calm down, it's really different...Mr. Mo is really a great master, right?"

On the way home, Wang Xi passed by Mo Li's small courtyard, and stopped involuntarily, thinking so.

But he still felt that Li Li didn't look like a master. How can a master read all day without wearing a weapon or practicing martial arts?And he was too young, although he was much older than him, but he looked like a big brother who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Could it be that a blind cat ran into a dead mouse?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was. After all, reading and writing also requires a calm mind. If you understand the principles, you will understand everything. It is the same when it comes to sword practice. Not only can you write good articles with a calm mind, but you can also use swordsmanship naturally.

Knocking on the courtyard door, Wang Xi heard the sound of coming in, and then pushed the door open and walked in. Mr. Mo was lying on a chair, reading a book leisurely, with a cup of tea beside him.

"The well frog can't talk to the sea, it's stuck in the void;"

"Summer insects can't talk about ice, they are obsessed with time;"

……

Seeing such a scene, Wang Xi instinctively lightened his steps, and when Li Li pointed to the chair, he tiptoed over and sat down gently.

"Did you win?"

Mo Li's gentle voice came from Wang Xi's ear. He looked closely, but saw that Mr. Mo had put down the scroll and poured him a cup of tea.

"Yes."

Wang Xi nodded, looking at the young face in front of him, he was really young, he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his brows were full of heroism, and his eyes were full of mature temperament, which made people believe special temperament.

"The first fight..."

He honestly talked about today's competition, his brows were filled with the joy of winning, as a person who has lost consecutive battles, suddenly turned around today, no wonder he was happy.

But at the end, he frowned and said: "But Mr. Mo, although he said that he can win if he calms down, I always feel that the victory is inexplicable, especially in the night competition, all the martial arts students who are not weaker than the second brother come here. .”

As long as one can exert extraordinary strength by meditating, isn't it true that all the elite disciples of other martial arts schools can meditate?
"So you are worried, will you lose in the next competition?" Mo Li asked.

"Ah."

Wang Xi nodded vigorously. Since he participated in the competition, he certainly wanted to get a good ranking.

Mo Li shook his head and smiled, stood up, paced the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Have you ever heard that a person with thunder in his chest and a face as flat as a lake can worship the general?"

Wang Xi shook his head in confusion. He didn't read much, so he could barely read.

"A person who can calm down, especially when the danger is more urgent, can be a general. How many generals are there in the world?" Mo Li said with a smile.

"You mean, it's hard to meditate?" Wang Xi asked in surprise.

Of course, it is difficult to do it, even among the first-class masters, how many have this kind of mentality?

In Moli's opinion, the only swordsmen in this world who can have this state of mind are Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue.

To practice the way of the sword, peace of mind is the first priority. What Li Li taught this little boy was not the law, but the way.

"If it's not difficult to do, I'm afraid you won't close your eyes." Li Li joked.

Wang Xi smiled a little shyly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then, how should I fight next?"

He is still not confident, after all, he is facing the elite disciples of the entire Hengyang City Martial Arts School, he has such a hard time dealing with a second senior brother, and Huiyan Martial Arts School is only ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the major martial arts schools in Hengyang City.

"Since you like to close your eyes, why don't you just close your eyes as soon as you get on stage? Swordsmanship is something that you can't do with your eyes?" Li Li said with a smile.

"Close... close your eyes?"

Wang Xi opened his mouth wide, feeling that Mr. Mo in front of him was fooling him no matter what.

You can't beat with your eyes open, but you still close your eyes? !
"That's right, close your eyes. Anyway, you don't have a great chance of winning, so keep closing your eyes and try." Mo Li said with a half-smile.

"Okay... well..."

Wang Xi stammered and replied, still feeling very uneasy, how could anyone teach someone to beat with their eyes closed?

He was full of worries, so he said goodbye and left. Mo Li patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, calm down, you will definitely have good grades."
