Chapter 20 Sword Light
……

The next day.

After Wu Wen woke up, he washed, ate something, and went to the East Palace.

At the door, he showed the token to the guard and entered smoothly.

When I arrived at the library, I found that it was empty.

Wu Wen started to stroll around casually.

When I came here with Wei Zheng yesterday, his attention was focused on the structure and environment of the library, and he did not carefully observe the books here.

Just watch it in a hurry.

There are all kinds of books including the Four Books, the Five Classics, military strategies, geography, water classics, prefectural chronicles, and catalogs of flowers, birds, fish and insects.

While walking around, I suddenly discovered that there were martial arts secrets on the bookshelf.

Wu Wenrao picked up a few books at random and started reading with great interest.

"Eight Sword Slashes" is a book on the essentials of sword use in the military.

"The Art of Using the Steel Spear" is a book on how to use the spear when charging from a mount.

"Spirit Monkey Fist", "Tiger Pounce" and "Flying Crane Step", these boxing techniques are quite similar to the "Crane Boxing" that Wu Wen learned, and they all belong to the pictographic boxing style.

"Why, are you interested in martial arts?"

At this time, Li Chunfeng suddenly appeared beside Wu Wen.

"Ok!"

Wu Wen nodded slightly, then put the secret book he had just read back to its original place.

"If you are interested, you might as well take a look at this one!"

As he spoke, Li Chunfeng searched the books with his eyes, then took out a volume and handed it to Wu Wen.

Wu Wen took it and first looked down at the name on it: "Tian Gang Sword".

The name sounds mighty and domineering.

Expand it and read it.

There are a total of thirty-six styles of "Tiangang Sword".

Empty step sword chop, bow step back and hang the sword, cross step reverse hook, horse step cloud grinding, pad step point collapse, turn around and strike, independent rack, retreat step down, Ding step cross-cut, sideways back, flying straight chop, retreat step up, rest step diagonal penetration, bow step up, horse step flat push, parallel step hold and embrace, prostrate step whirlwind sweep, walking step to hold flowers, tiger step to block the road...

Every move and every style is based on the Tiangang steps, and the sword in the hand also strikes out from the Tiangang direction.

Tiangang direction: refers to the direction pointed by the handle of the Big Dipper.

When using the Tiangang Sword, the feet follow the steps of the Big Dipper. As the steps change, the direction of the Tiangang will also change accordingly.

For example, the virtual sword chop: a chop from top to bottom, corresponding to the direction of the handle of the Big Dipper.

Bow step and back sword: the action of turning around and back, corresponding to the rotation of the handle of the Big Dipper.

Cross step and counter-hook: move the left foot back to become a cross step, turn around and counter-hook from the left side, corresponding to the change in the direction of the handle of the Big Dipper.

Ma Bu Yun Mo: Hold the sword horizontally in the cloud grinding position, and the movement trajectory of the sword is consistent with the circular motion of the handle of the Big Dipper in the air.

This sword technique not only requires meticulousness in every move, but also pays great attention to positioning.

When he first watched the first half, Wu Wen always felt that the Tiangang Sword was just for performance.

But after seeing the latter part, he became extremely serious.

Because the following content talks about how to coordinate internal strength to perform Tiangang swordsmanship and then cultivate sword light!

Sword light? Are you kidding?
Wu Wen thought he had seen it wrong and was a little bit unbelieving, then he looked at it again carefully.

It has been confirmed that this "Tiangang Sword" can indeed cultivate sword light.

But at the same time, Wu Wen also realized that this "sword light" was not as mysterious as he had imagined.

It was not the light produced by the sword itself, but the sword in the hand was vibrating at an extremely high frequency, causing the airflow around the sword to be violently distorted.

When external light shines on this distorted airflow, it produces a visual effect as if the sword body is emitting light by itself, which is the "sword light".

However, the occurrence of this phenomenon not only requires the swordsman to have superb swordsmanship and internal strength, but also requires precise control of many factors such as the sword's vibration frequency, strength, and angle of light.

Therefore, the contents of the volume also noted that if one was not a genius in swordsmanship, it would take at least thirty or forty years of hard work to succeed in cultivation.

Something that oscillates at a high frequency, let alone a sword made of metal, even water, has incredible power. Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Each of the thirty-six moves of the Tiangang Sword contains profound martial arts secrets and astronomical knowledge. With your ability, you should be able to practice the sword's aura!"

On the side, Li Chunfeng said encouragingly.

Wu Wen rolled up the secret book expressionlessly and put it back.

He hasn't even developed his internal strength yet, so it's too early for him to learn such advanced swordsmanship.

My internal energy has been a little slack these days. I need to find some time to plan how to use the static electricity effect to practice.

"What? Not interested? Or do you think it's too difficult?" Li Chunfeng asked with a smile.

"It's too difficult!" Wu Wen answered honestly. Hearing this, Li Chunfeng laughed.

"Dr. Li, I'm going to study!" Wu Wen bowed and said.

Li Chunfeng nodded slightly in response.

Then, Wu Wen walked towards the section where medical books were classified.

After spending so much time with Master Zhu Jiu, Wu Wen actually knew that he had always had a wish, which was to learn real medical skills.

Although Master Zhu Jiu was known as a doctor in the village, he actually could not take people's pulses. He just knew some medicinal properties and pharmacology and could prescribe the right medicine for the disease.

So it would be more appropriate to say that he is a pharmacist rather than a doctor.

This is a regret for Zhu Jiuye. He has aspired to become a doctor since he was a child, but due to the lack of a good teacher to guide him, his current medical skills are almost all self-taught through various channels.

Unfortunately, knowledge about medicine is easy to learn, but the skill of pulse diagnosis cannot be mastered by self-study alone.

Wu Wen came to the medical bookshelf and picked out a book about pulse diagnosis.

"Essentials of Pulse Principle".

The book describes in detail the direction of the human body's meridians. Each meridian meanders through the human body like a river, and the acupoints are like reefs in the river, critical and unique.

As he read, he placed his fingertips on his wrist, simulating the feeling of the pulse described in the book.

"A floating pulse is as light as a feather and can be felt by touching it. It indicates an external infection. A sinking pulse is as heavy as a lead block and can only be felt by pressing deeply. It indicates an internal injury..."

Time flies.

It was noon before I knew it.

Wu Wen gently put down the medical book in his hand and stood up to stretch his muscles.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat."

As soon as he left the library, he met Wei Zheng.

"Wu Wen, what are you doing?"

"Go back to Wei to wash the horses and have dinner!"

"By chance, come with me!"

"This……"

Seeing Wu Wen's hesitation, Wei Zheng made a decision for him: "When an elder invites you, you cannot refuse. Come with me."

Wu Wen had no choice but to follow.

Wei Zheng took him to the palace in front.

Wu Wen looked at the road in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled: "Wei Xima, where are we going?"

"The King of Qin is visiting today and His Highness is hosting a banquet. I will take you to the table," Wei Zheng explained.

"This is not good!"

"fine!"

Wei Zheng waved his hand indifferently.

Wu Wen followed him hesitantly and entered the palace together.

When Crown Prince Li Jiancheng saw Wei Zheng, he smiled and invited him to take a seat.

When his eyes fell on Wu Wen who was following behind Wei Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Wu Wen, you are here too, so let's take a seat together."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wu Wen bowed to express his gratitude and found a seat in the back corner.

He glanced sideways towards the front and saw the person sitting in the first seat, holding a wine glass. He was the current King of Qin, Li Shimin.

Wu Wen looked at him curiously and found that Li Shimin was as handsome as Li Jiancheng, but the difference was that Li Shimin exuded a heroic temperament that Li Jiancheng did not have.

Behind Li Shimin, there stood a person wrapped tightly in a black robe.

In the Prince's Eastern Palace, there actually was such a mysteriously dressed person. Wu Wen couldn't help but be curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The other party seemed to be able to sense Wu Wen's gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked into Wu Wen's eyes.

Under the black robe was a face completely covered with tattoos, which looked both mysterious and strange.

In an instant, Wu Wen felt as if he was being stared at by something, and his back couldn't help but feel a slight chill.

"No face."

Li Shimin shouted softly.

The man in black robe immediately turned his head, leaned over and stood respectfully behind him, not moving.
