The training of Feijian has a very high starting point. It is recorded in the classics that the innate golden qi is used to transform the acquired golden qi, and the human lung metal qi is refined, and the inner elixir is used externally to defend against the enemy. However, among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the white tiger is the master of gold in the west, and the energy of Geng metal is naturally sharp and killing. To forge sword energy with it, ordinary people without great cultivation cannot bear it. If you practice hard, It's okay if nothing can be accomplished through cultivation. If anything can be accomplished, there is a risk of the sword energy destroying the body and the intestines being pierced and the abdomen being ruptured.
The other type uses a sword as its own weapon and uses exquisite swordsmanship to demonstrate the power of the sword. Nothing can stop it under this sword. This is what the real swordsman said that one sword can defeat all methods.
This kind of swordsman training method is closer to the ordinary martial arts competition, but it also adds the use of Taoism in it. For example, flying in the air and chopping down the sword, there is a sword energy sword under one strike. The light rushes out, and the sword energy is indestructible wherever it goes. This is unmatched by ordinary martial arts people, so this type of sword immortal can also be attributed to the martial arts lineage of this sect.
And in the Jingming Dao where Zhou Yu is located, the martial arts line is the martial arts branch in the Taoist sect. Naturally, there is also the latter kind of cultivation method of the Sword Immortal. What Zhou Yu is using this half of the steel pipe is the Jingming Dao Creation. The Jingming swordsmanship created by Xu Xun, the Taoist master of the sect, is a combination of the swordsmanship of Bian Zhuangzi, Ma Chao, and Liu Bei. It is a method of achieving the Tao through external skills.
It is also because the swordsmanship is the combination of the strengths of many swordsmanships. It is the legacy of the swordsmanship of the pre-Qin Dynasty on the battlefield since the end of the Han Dynasty. It is different from all kinds of swordsmanship today. It is different from the complicated moves of the current swordsmanship. The sword moves lightly and is focused on killing with one strike on the battlefield, ten swings and ten strikes, so it appears to be more lethal. At the same time, this is also the general outline of short-hand combat skills on the battlefield, so it can evolve into There are many ways to use short soldiers.
Nowadays, among Taoist sects, there are only a few families that are known to the world to have completely inherited the art of Sword Immortal. Although other Taoist sects also have the art of Sword Immortal passed down, this is not complete. It is just some practice. The elementary methods of the Sword Immortal's way, and some of the Sword Immortal's sword techniques have been handed down.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, swords evolved from copper to iron. They were superior since the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, and were long and sharp. The swords at that time were used on the battlefield, and every move was for killing. They were suitable for individual soldiers. Later, With the evolution of military formations, after the Tang Dynasty, swords gradually ceased to be ceremonial weapons and became popular among the people. Then they changed from two hands to one hand, and the method of use gradually became more fancy. Pre-Qin swordsmanship has now become extinct.
But what the world doesn¡¯t know is that this pre-Qin battlefield swordsmanship still has its heritage and has become an application method of the swordsmanship. This is the Emei sect passed down by Yuan Gong and Yue Nu in the Spring and Autumn Period. , and the Wudang Sect, which was inherited from the Zhenwu Great Emperor in the north of Heaven, and finally, the Jingming Tao of Zhou Yu created by Zhenjun Xu Xun, and these three sects are also the ones with the greatest inheritance of the Sword Immortal Tao among the Chinese Taoist sects. Complete sect.
Bian Zhuangzi was a famous warrior of the Lu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. History books say that he could fight a tiger alone. It is recorded in Volume 10 of Han Shi Gaiden that Bian Zhuangzi was a filial son. When his mother was alive, he fought with the army and lost three times in three battles. His friends looked down upon him and the king humiliated him. Three years after his mother's death, the state of Lu raised an army to attack Qi. He asked to join the battle, and won the enemy's first prize in three battles, avenging the shame of his previous defeat. In the end, he killed seventy people in battle. Liu Xiang's new preface also records the incident. This shows how powerful his swordsmanship is.
Needless to say, Ma Chao was a brave general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After the famous general Ma Yuan, his martial arts skills were unparalleled. He was definitely among the top ten masters in the world at that time. Not only was his marksmanship world-famous, but his swordsmanship was also top-notch.
As for Liu Bei, his talents were overshadowed by his two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. In fact, he was also regarded as one of the few masters at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, "The Biography of the First Master": "The general He Jin sent the captain Wu Qiu Yiyidan Yang recruited troops, and the former lord went with him. When he went to Xiapi, he encountered thieves and fought with great merit." Later, it was said, "Bulu captured the wife of the former lord, and the former lord moved to Haixi. Yang Feng, Han Siam, Xu, and Yang Jian , the First Lord invited to attack and beheaded them all. The First Lord asked for peace with Lu Bu, and Bu returned his wife. The First Lord sent Guan Yu to guard Xia Pi." What makes it more clear is "Dian Lue": "Liu Ziping in the plains knows that Bei is brave. At that time, Zhang Chun rebelled and Qingzhou was ordered to attack Chun."
From this we can see that Liu Bei was quite famous for his martial arts at the time, and he was not a weakling with no power to restrain a chicken. And in terms of swordsmanship alone, Liu Bei's force was not only able to protect himself in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, but also able to compete with Lu Bu.
Some people may not believe it, but Liu Bei¡¯s swordsmanship has been handed down and has always been the best among many categories of swordsmanship in China. In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the guerrilla general He Liangchen said in the "Array Chronicles": "Bian Zhuangzi "The fighting technique of Wang Ju, the rising and falling technique of Wang Ju, the Gu Ying technique of Master Liu, the lightning technique of King Ma Ming, the striking technique of Ma Chao, the swords of the five families are handed down."
Liu Bei¡¯s swordsmanship here became one of the five great swordsmanships in history. This is the Ming Dynasty, WuThere are many masters of martial arts, and it can be regarded as the penultimate peak of Chinese martial arts. At that time, Liu Bei's Gu Yingfa, who came down from Liu Bei, was still ranked among the five major swordsmanships, which shows how powerful it is.
The Jingming swordsmanship taught by Xu Xun is a combination of the advantages of the three famous swordsmanships of Bian Zhuangzi, Liu Xianzhu's Gu Yingfa, and Ma Chao's attack techniques. It is even more powerful. At that time, the Xu Xun family was The swordsmanship passed down from the wealthy local Soochow family was passed down from Bian Zhuangzi's striking technique.
At that time, Zhenjun Xu Xun did not put his mind on cultivation, but on his official career. Not long after the chaos of the Three Kingdoms ended, the martial arts was still very popular. The literati at this time were not Like the literati of later generations who had no strength to tie a chicken, they were very particular about mounting a horse to defeat thieves and dismounting to rule the country. Therefore, Zhenjun Xu Xun practiced this sword skill extremely proficiently.
Later, Xu Xun was promoted to be a filial and honest man and went out to serve as an official. By chance, he met a descendant of Ma Chao on the road. This man was seriously ill at the time and was dying. Because Xu Xun was also knowledgeable in medicine, he managed to save him. When he came back, the man deeply felt Xu Xun's life-saving grace. Later he saw that Xu Xun also liked swordsmanship, so he taught Xu Xun his family skills.
Later, during the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, Xu Xun happened to be in the capital Luoyang at that time. At the critical moment, he rescued Liu Bei's grandchildren who were arranged to live in Luoyang along with Liu Chan, the empress of Shu, by the Sima family after the destruction of Shu. Well, he passed on the Gu Yingfa passed down by Liu Xianzhu Liu Bei to Xu Xun. From then on, Xu Xun became the rare inheritor of the three major swordsmanships in the world, and was a famous person at that time. A master of swordsmanship.
