Chapter 74: Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period (13) Under the eighteen martial arts...
Under the incredulous gazes of the guards, Ye Mo finished learning all the basic moves.
It was already an hour and a half later. After repeating some movements on the spot, she began the third swordplay practice.
It was completely different from the first two times. It was tangible, soulful and powerful, and the movements were accurate, but the fluency was still a little lacking.
The first time Ye Mo practiced swordplay, it was 30% similar to Gong Ziyi, the second time was 52% similar to Gong Ziyi, the third time was 58%, the fourth time was 63%, the fifth time was 67%, the sixth time was 70%, the seventh time was 72%...
[Detected that the survivor Ye Mo broke through the critical point of spirit value, spirit attribute +1] ×3.
[Detected that the survivor Ye Mo broke through the critical point of agility value, agility attribute +1] ×1.
[Detected that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical point of strength value, strength attribute +1] × 1.
[Detected that the survivor Ye Mo's strength attribute value in the "Spring and Autumn and Warring States" copy has reached 60, and is unlocking superpowers... The superpower unlocking failed. ]
Not surprising, Ye Mo's root bone talent was taken away too much by other physical talents, and he was very useless. The strength superpower failed to break through again, but it is a good thing that the strength attribute has been improved.
When the sun was hanging in the western sky and the sunset dyed the sky red, Ye Mo's swordsmanship was as similar as 95% with Gong Ziyi. The remaining 5% difference was mainly the accumulation of individual differences.
After all, everyone's height, weight and physique are different, and there is no identical leaf in the world.
In the eyes of the maids, the young lady was repeating the same set of moves. They thought every move was amazing. They couldn't tell exactly where it was amazing, but it was better than when she was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.
But even though she was so amazing, the young lady still didn't give up and kept practicing. She didn't even have time to wipe off the beads of sweat on her forehead. This was very different from the etiquette of a noble lady, but it was also very admirable?
In the eyes of the guards, in less than two hours, the young lady actually learned a set of swordsmanship. Outsiders might not believe it, but they witnessed with their own eyes the young lady's progress bit by bit, no, it was a leap forward in small steps.
Because they saw it with their own eyes, because they knew how hard it was for them to acquire this martial art, they practiced in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, some even practiced from primary school until now, and the young lady achieved her current achievements in just two hours!
Most of the guards attributed it to the result of the young lady's years of inner cultivation, and the young lady must have a very high talent for inner cultivation. There are also a very small number of guards like Gong Ziyi who came from a declining old scholar family, and their eyes widened.
"Could it be--"
If the young lady is super talented, it is not surprising that her swordsmanship is better than theirs, no wonder the young lady was able to enter the Mo Sect.
The guards felt a second sense of awe, and the first real worship, which had nothing to do with blood, but only because of the young lady herself.
...
Ye Mo took a short break, looked up at the golden sun in the sky, replenished his own body water, and gave each of the hundred guards present a large bowl of water to quench their thirst.
Then he asked two maids to go down the mountain, one to inform the chef to prepare a large amount of fresh meat, mustard, onion and other ingredients.
The staple food is roasted meat, "roasted, roasted meat, from meat, on fire", that is, barbecued meat. Barbecue is a delicacy that saves the taste in the era of insufficient seasoning, which is much better than boiling or steaming.
Of course, delicious food must be paired with good wine. Du Kang, the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, was good at brewing wine. Later generations revered Du Kang as the god of wine. "How to relieve worries, only Du Kang", this is the Du Kang wine recipe of the ancient times that has not been lost.
But it doesn't matter whether the formula is lost or not, because the real Du Kang wine is like a national treasure, that is, the kind of wine with spiritual energy in the liquid. The Du Kang wine buried under the Yangcheng Junyuan now lacks spiritual energy and is of course not authentic.
But it is still more authentic than other wines. The other two maids went down the mountain to dig up several jars of Du Kang wine buried deep.
Ye Mo's order was justified.
The previous kick and the swordsmanship just now left a deep impression on many people. In addition, her status and position were there, so even if they knew it was not in line with the rules, no one said anything.
After receiving the order, the two maids turned around and went down the mountain to arrange the tasks without hesitation.
Ye Mo was very satisfied with this change.
...
Today's matter is still far from over.
After learning the swordsmanship, you naturally need to compete. The predecessors once said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
Sharp swords hurt people, so use wooden swords instead.
Ye Mo knew without fighting that Gong Ziyi was definitely not his opponent, and it was not because she was arrogant.
For example, a swordsman with a strength and agility of 15 may kill an ordinary person with a strength and agility of 25 by swordsmanship, wit, routines, etc., but a swordsman with a strength and agility of 15 can hardly kill an ordinary person with a strength and agility of 30 or more.
The huge attribute gap is a long river that cannot be crossed.
Therefore, in the process of fighting, Ye Mo paid more attention to responding to the opponent's moves and improving his control of strength, rather than winning or losing. If it really came down to winning or losing, Gong Ziyi's one move would not be enough for her to kick.
Fighting, even if it is a fight for sparring and stopping at a certain point, it is difficult to avoid bumps and even minor injuries.
Moreover, Ye Mo was not going to stop there. She pressed on step by step and ordered Gong Ziyi to go all out.
Even though the guards could guess the purpose of the young lady, they were still scared to death when they saw Gong Ziyi's wooden sword stabbing the young lady. Two guards even knelt down reflexively.
A maid was going to call a witch doctor.
Ye Mo turned sideways and easily picked up Gong Ziyi's sword, pausing the fight and stopping their panic. Not to mention the wooden sword, even if it was a real sword, it would not be so easy to hurt her.
Maid: "Young lady--"
Ye Mo said righteously: "Why worry about your father?"
Everyone was speechless.
At that moment, the total value of the emotional touch on the scene exceeded the standard, and Ye Mo knew it without using his mental power or perception.
"Ziyi, continue!"
"Yes, young lady."
Ye Mo stopped fighting until he almost touched the essence of this sword technique. Compared with her who was intact, Gong Ziyi might really have some accidental injuries.
As her control increased, such accidental injuries became less and less.
"Young lady is a true warrior, Ziyi is ashamed of herself." Gong Ziyi put away the wooden sword and knelt down.
"Stand up."
Ye Mo gave Gong Ziyi an ointment for bruises and injuries, which was made by the witch doctor in the mansion, and he saw Gong Ziyi apply it on the back of his hand with his own eyes.
A not-too-deep red scratch healed in about ten minutes, and the newly grown flesh was pink and white. The medicine of this era was also quite magical.
...
The next step, Ye Mo asked all the sword-wielding guards present to step forward and stand in the martial arts arena.
First, he ordered them to spar with wooden swords in groups of three or two, and he watched other people's fighting experience on the side.
Everyone's swordsmanship is different, even if it is the same swordsmanship, because everyone's understanding, physique, and personality are different, especially those with big differences in sword style, when fighting, it's like two sets of swordsmanship.
In short, the most important thing is to suit yourself.
While watching the battle, Ye Mo first outlined the outline of the swordsmanship that suited her, and then joined one-on-one, one-on-two, one-on-three, one-on-four...one-on-N duels.
During the competition, they checked for deficiencies and made up for them, perfecting the outline of their swordsmanship; when the outline was perfected to a certain extent, the time for learning swordsmanship was suspended, and the guards went from being cautious to fully adapted.
I don't know when, the sun has completely set.
There is no light pollution in the night sky, with a faint crescent moon in the middle and stars all around. The night view is picturesque. It is the middle and late spring, and the calls of insects and birds add the interest of life to the quiet beauty.
The servants turned on the lights in the martial arts field, but even if they didn't turn on the lights, the starlight illuminated Chuyang City very brightly.
Several chefs were grilling meat seriously, and the aroma of meat could be smelled for thousands of miles. The guards had to accompany the young lady to work overtime with an empty stomach. Suddenly, I had the illusion of leading an assistant worker to work overtime in modern times.
They are not as obedient as the guards.
Ye Mo first proposed sword training because sword training conforms to the trend of the aristocracy. Now that he proposes to learn other things, not many people will object.
With the experience of sword training, the basics of martial arts will remain the same, and learning sword skills will also save a lot of detours.
The strongest swordsman among the guards is called Bai Hu. He comes from a civilian family and has northern Hu blood. He is a middle-aged strong man over eight feet tall with a bold personality.
As for other weapons such as whips, guns, spears, shields, axes, etc., they can only be tried tomorrow morning.
Now there is only one item left, shooting.
For this essential item of spring search, Ye Mo did not let the guards who are good at shooting come out, but at the end of the martial arts training, he looked through all the bows, crossbows, and arrows present.
Her gaze lingered the longest on several types of crossbows. On the battlefield, a crossbow is a more suitable weapon than a bow.
In the end, Ye Mo took a very ordinary bow, pulled the bow towards the target in the distance, closed her eyes, and just when the guards thought she was going to shoot an arrow, her ears finally caught a sound.
The direction of the arrow suddenly changed from the opposite shooting range to upwards, and then deviated about 8 degrees to the sky.
Whoosh!
An arrow was shot.
"Ga-ga-"
A flock of wild geese just flew over the sky, and three of them were pierced by an arrow at the same time. The fallen goose arrow string happened to be near the martial arts field, and the maid didn't need to search in the forest and grass.
This might be something that even the best archer or crossbowman present would find difficult to do.
"Young lady is so brave!"
The guards knelt down and shouted in unison, regardless of the young lady's gender, praising her bravery.
Ye Mo looked at a maid returning with a falling goose, and laughed loudly: "Everyone is satisfied tonight."
"Thank you, young lady!"
Today's study came to an end. Ye Mo ordered the hundred guards to gather at the martial arts field on time at 1:00 am tomorrow.
Guards: "Yes!"
...
On the side of the martial arts field, the chefs prepared the food. The delicious food and fine wine were very attractive. The dinner prepared before the sun went down was all a reward for the guards and a reward for their performance today.
The hundred guards were all very excited.
Especially the falling goose shot by the young lady herself, it has a different meaning for the hundred guards. In just half a day, Ye Mo's martial arts and character have really convinced them.
When they knelt down to thank him, their voices were passionate and high-spirited, and they may have been much more sincere than at the beginning.
With the farewell of the hundred guards, Ye Mo turned around and left the martial arts field.
Halfway down the path, her sharp hearing heard several lively conversations on the mountain. That was enough. Both goals for this afternoon have been achieved.
One is to learn martial arts, and the other is to cultivate one's own people.
Then she smelled the aroma of barbecue and fine wine, and Ye Mo couldn't help but speed up her pace. She was also tired, hungry and thirsty at the moment, and the four maids behind her were also relying on perseverance to persevere.
Of course, the maids were soon rewarded, including copper coins, dinner, and rest time between shifts.
"Thank you, young lady."
