Chapter 180: Sword Skills Are Not Bad
The breakfast at Fanyin Temple is not very good, but not bad either, it’s just some rice porridge.

After breakfast, Fu Qingzhou followed the shouts coming from not far away and found the martial arts arena.

From a distance, the monks and lay disciples were divided into two parts.

The monks who have already been ordained are on a large platform far up. Each of them has exquisite movements and proficient techniques, and it is obvious that they all have some basic skills.

The lay disciples were obviously much worse. They wielded weapons under the instruction of Fajing and several other monks. They only had the strength of the fourth realm, but their moves and techniques were clearly very crude.

Fa Jing saw Fu Qingzhou from a distance and waved to him.

Fu Qingzhou walked over and smiled: "Senior Brother Fajing."

"Have you met the abbot?"

Fa Jing smiled kindly: "I remember you said last night that you are good at using a knife, right?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "As a butcher, I can only use a knife, but I can't say I'm an expert."

After saying this, he cast his gaze towards the monks who were practicing over there, revealing an envious look: "Compared to them, I am far behind."

"Hahaha, those fellow disciples have practiced martial arts for many years, don't think you can become rich overnight!"

Fa Jing laughed and said, "I brought your knife to you. Show me how to use it first!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Soon, the unsharpened knife was handed to Fu Qingzhou. He weighed the knife and swung it twice in the air.

How can he play with a knife...

But it just so happens that an ordinary butcher doesn't need to know any advanced knife skills.

So he pretended to take a stance and swung the knife vigorously.

The iron knife cut through the air, making a sharp sound.

But anyone who has practiced it would know at a glance that Fu Qingzhou's sword dance... is completely random.

Chop is chop, cut is chop, there is no connection between the moves, and there is no such thing as defense, it is just blindly attacking, with flaws everywhere on the body.

"OK OK."

Fa Jing stopped him with amusement: "Stop dancing... You've never practiced swordplay before?"

Fu Qingzhou scratched his head embarrassedly: "I have practiced some martial arts before, but this is the first time I have ever used a sword."

Not far away, several lay disciples including Xiao Huang who had been taught by him last night watched this scene quietly, exchanged meaningful glances with each other, and all of them smiled maliciously.

"Okay, come on, I also know how to use a knife, so you can learn some from me."

Fa Jing said: "Lay a good foundation first."

Fu Qingzhou responded and followed with a knife in hand.

Fa Jing also took a sword from the weapon rack and said, "The sword technique I practice is also common. Many martial arts schools in the Central Plains teach it. However, the fact that there are many people learning it also proves that this sword technique is easy to learn and use. It is perfect for laying the foundation."

"This sword technique is called... Mountain Cutting Sword!"

After saying that, the fat monk's eyes sparkled, and he swung his sword and jumped into the middle of the field. He raised the sword above his head and shouted, "First move, split the mountains and cut the waves!"

With a whoosh, the broadsword chopped down against the wind. Before the power of the sword had worn off, he took another step forward, and the broadsword turned over his head with the help of his wrist, and chopped again!
With each step and chop, the sword shone brightly and the wind whistled, which attracted cheers from the lay disciples on the sidelines.

Fu Qingzhou stood on the sidelines and watched, his eyes slightly shining.

Even though this monk Fajing looks as fat as a ball, his swordsmanship is quite good.

This so-called mountain-cutting knife is indeed easy to learn and use, just as he said.

There is nothing particularly complicated in this set of swordsmanship. As long as you coordinate the footwork and techniques well, even an ordinary person with no basic skills can perform smooth combos after practicing for a period of time.

Moreover, this sword technique is a combination of offense and defense, and the sword force is wave after wave. If you really encounter someone with immense strength who has practiced this sword technique to perfection, even a master of the same level will have to deal with it with dignity.

"Practicing swordsmanship seems to be quite good, right?"

Fu Qingzhou thought to himself, "I used bows and arrows to hunt in the mountains before. Now I am proficient in using bows and arrows, but it is always good to have more skills..." "If I run into a perverted melee fighter like Wu Yan again, it would be good to learn some proper swordsmanship."

While thinking, Fa Jing had already practiced the first move of splitting mountains and cutting waves three times.

"Okay, Zhou Qing, do you see it clearly? Come and try it!"

he shouted.

Fu Qingzhou responded and stepped forward with a knife.

He could actually learn this sword technique after just one look...there was nothing complicated about it.

But as a butcher, he naturally couldn't learn it immediately. This kind of talent was too incredible for the lay disciples of Fanyin Temple.

So he took a step forward and drew his sword, and the first strike was powerful!

In the second knife, the wrist turned a little late, and the timing of the knife and the step were slightly wrong.

The third time, he turned the knife too late. He had already stepped out and the knife was still turning, so it hit his own leg. He cried out in pain and the knife slipped out of his hand.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's normal for the first drill!"

Fa Jing was quite amiable as a senior brother, and laughed, "Just practice more!"

Fu Qingzhou picked up the knife and smiled.

The morning practice time was about two hours. Fa Jing was quite nice to him and kept guiding him from side to side. It took more than an hour and he "barely" taught him all five styles of the Zhanshan Knife.

Fu Qingzhou was a little clumsy, and practiced each move five or eight times before he "barely" mastered it. But despite this, Fa Jing was extremely satisfied and impressed.

"You are quite talented, kid."

He patted Fu Qingzhou on the shoulder and said, "You have learned the Mountain-Slashing Blade in just one hour. Although it still needs to be polished, it is pretty good."

"Brother Qing is awesome!"

At this moment, a lay disciple approached and said flatteringly, "You have mastered the Mountain-Slashing Blade so quickly, you are much more powerful than us!"

Fu Qingzhou didn't remember this person very well, but he remembered his voice.

Last night before going to bed, he seemed to be one of the people who quietly talked to Xiao Huang outside...

After this person spoke, Xiao Huang also came over, also with a flattering look on his face: "Brother Qing is so powerful, do you want us to help you practice with actual combat? So as to help you consolidate your foundation?"

Fa Jing was surprised: "Huang Ergou, what's wrong with you?"

It turns out that Xiao Huang's original name was Huang Ergou...

Huang Ergou smiled sheepishly: "It was last night that I met Brother Qing."

Fa Jing's eyes immediately changed when he looked at Fu Qingzhou: "Boy, you're great. You conquered Huang Ergou in one night?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled wryly: "Very powerful? That's not necessarily true... You want to practice in actual combat? Sure, who of you will practice with me first?"

"Let me do it."

The disciple who had praised him first stood up, holding a wooden stick in his hand: "Brother Qing, please give me some advice."

After saying that, he stomped his foot on the ground, and the wooden stick made a flower, posing in a beautiful posture.

Fu Qingzhou swung the knife.

He had noticed from the corner of his eye that at least half of the lay disciples around, including Huang Ergou, were slowly approaching and surrounding the two of them.

Fa Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately understood something, but did not say anything. He just grinned, put his hands behind his back, and stepped back, leaving the circle.

"Okay."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "If you get hurt, don't blame me."
