Chapter 23 Different Qualifications
On the second day after returning to Jiuyuan, Lu Bu ordered his generals to recruit troops in Wuyuan County and arrange training matters.
On the third day, by singing a harmony with his father-in-law Yan Bing, he obtained the right to collect taxes from Wuyuan County.
Later, he communicated with Lord Ju Bo, who came forward to contact the officials and gentry of the Jiuyuan counties to prepare the people to request orders.
Lu Bu himself became quiet and did not leave the door or take a step forward all day long.
Of course, he didn't have nothing to do.
It has nothing to do with Mr. Yan, don't think about it that way.
He is preparing for the apprenticeship ceremony.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing have moved into Lu Mansion.
Three days later, Lu Bu invited officials, squires and military generals from Jiuyuan, held a banquet for hundreds of people at Lu Mansion, and held a grand apprenticeship ceremony.
On that day, Zhang Liao and Cao Xing each presented a wild goose, toasted and kowtowed, and everyone celebrated. The banquet lasted until night.
…
Martial Arts Arena.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing stood on one side.
Lu Bu held a big sword and practiced his sword skills in front of the two men.
"This sword technique was created by my master five years ago. It is not used for battle battles, but for training to control one's own strength and speed, as well as to temper the body!"
After the drill, Lu Bu said to the two of them:
"When practicing martial arts, focus on controlling your own strength and speed, and cultivating agile reflexes, rather than directly going into battle to kill the enemy!"
"In battle battles, you all rely on your own adaptability. Except for the enemy's killing style, any fixed moves are meaningless. You have a lot of battlefield experience, so you should understand this!"
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing nodded at the same time.
Their basic skills are good, and they also know the difference between daily practice and killing enemies in front of the battle array.
Among thousands of troops, there are enemies on all sides, and dangers are everywhere. How can there be any fixed moves that can deal with everything?
Performing moves according to the script will inevitably lead to a dead end!
But if you master the strength and speed perfectly, every move will be flawless under any circumstances. With such ability, you can go anywhere.
"Master this sword technique, and carefully understand the use of power and speed. Sooner or later, you will be able to understand the secret of 'lifting a heavy weight as if it is light, lifting a light weight as if it is heavy' and the path of 'seeming to be fast but actually being slow, and seeming to be slow but actually being fast'!"
Looking at the two of them, Lu Bu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Liao and Cao Xing both showed joy on their faces, clasped their fists and said:
"Please ask Master to teach me!"
"Um!"
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, then asked the two of them to get their swords and follow him to learn.
There are thirty-six ways of swordsmanship, and each way contains nine changes. It seems ordinary, but in fact it is complicated. It is basically impossible to learn it all at once.
Zhang Liao's understanding of "drawing inferences from one instance to other cases" was quickly reflected, and he learned twelve sword techniques on the same day, with a total of one hundred and eight variations.
Although Cao Xing's understanding was superior, it was obviously far inferior to Zhang Liao's. After one day, he could only learn three ways and twenty-seven changes.
Three days later, Zhang Liao had learned all thirty-six sword techniques.
Cao Xing, however, learned slower and slower. He could still learn three ways and nine changes on the first day, but only learned two ways and eighteen changes on the second day.
Although I worked very hard, at the end of the third day, I barely managed to learn the nine changes along the way.
Such a result made Cao Xing very frustrated, and he also understood why Zhang Liao was the only one who Lu Bu took the initiative to recruit as a disciple.
"Don't worry if you are healthy!"
Lu Bu consoled him:
"Your qualifications are indeed inferior to Wenyuan's, but as the saying goes, 'diligence can make up for weakness', as long as you work harder, you can achieve great results in the future!"
After a pause, he looked thoughtful and continued:
"I see that you are not good at swordsmanship. I still have a set of marksmanship. You should learn from it!"
When I first learned martial arts, I knew it was easy to master any kind of weapon. Therefore, Lu Bu's marksmanship and swordsmanship were among the best in the world.
Before creating his own halberd technique, his predecessor created many martial arts, sword techniques, and spear techniques all by himself.
When Lu Bu taught Cao Xing the art of marksmanship, it was true that his understanding of marksmanship was far superior to that of swordsmanship.
I can learn three-way marksmanship every day, and within half a month, I have mastered this same set of thirty-six marksmanship.
Of course, Zhang Liao's extraordinary understanding is once again reflected here.
Out of curiosity, when Cao Xing was learning to shoot, Zhang Liao also followed suit, and it took only five or six days for him to master it all.
Cao Xing was severely beaten!
Next, is the teaching of archery.
When learning archery, Cao Xing finally straightened his back.
I don't know why, but Zhang Liao's understanding of archery has greatly declined, and he can't see the characteristic of "drawing inferences from one instance to other cases" at all.
When it comes to drawing the bow, drawing the arrow, and nocking the arrow, Zhang Liao learned it perfectly.
Even at the moment when the arrow escapes Hyun, I always lack some inspiration!
This resulted in Zhang Liao's progress in learning archery being far inferior to that of Cao Xing.
"Zhang Liao is indeed not good at archery!"
Seeing all this, Lu Bu shook his head secretly.
Zhang Liao's archery skills have always been criticized.
He and Xu Huang fought against Wen Chou, but Wen Chou was shot down from his horse by an arrow. In the subsequent battles, he was injured many times by arrows, indicating that he was indeed not good at bows and arrows.
"Zhang Liao needs more practice in his archery skills. Not only will he become a master archer, he will at least have the ability to dodge stray arrows in the army!"
Lu Bu thought secretly.
In this way, Lu Bu taught the two men marksmanship, sword skills, and the key to archery. The two practiced hard day and night.
He himself is not idle either. In addition to the indispensable halberd practice every morning, he also often thinks about the next step in the path of martial arts.
In this world, Lu Bu is the pinnacle of martial arts, no one else!
Therefore, for the higher level, which sounds very powerful, the realm of 'Grand Master', he can only explore it by himself.
One day, he had a sudden idea.
"This world, in terms of everyone's martial arts, is a bit like the martial arts world in the previous life!"
Lu Bu secretly compared himself, the surrounding generals, and the many powerful generals who would appear in the future.
In the world of martial arts, most martial arts masters live in the wilderness, in this sect, that sect, or some gang, and they pay attention to freedom and ease.
In addition, masters in the world of martial arts are good at internal skills, light skills, hidden weapons, poisons, etc., and there are many tricks.
In this world, the masters are all fierce generals, and their martial arts are passed down from their ancestors. They pursue meritorious service, a wife, and a son. Therefore, they usually choose their masters and serve them.
The martial arts that he is good at don't have any fancy stuff, they are all straight forward, fighting hard, with the naked purpose of killing.
They seem to be completely different, but after careful consideration, Lu Bu discovered that they have something in common.
From a pure martial arts perspective, the world of martial arts seems to be on a higher level.
After all, he is capable of this 'magical power', that 'magic power', and a certain sage, which is very high-level.
But upon closer inspection, except for those high-level martial arts worlds that clearly transcend the ordinary state, the average martial arts world has no higher martial arts than this world.
The Jinlun Dharma King in the world of divine eagles has martial arts that are equal to the five best in the world, and his palm strength is only a thousand pounds.
Such a character, in this world, not to mention Lu Bu, even a "tiger general" like Gao Shun, would not be afraid at all.
Don’t forget, Gao Shun has the ‘power of two bulls’!
One ox weighs 800 jins, and two oxen weighs 1,600 jins, surpassing Jin Lun Dharma King!
Of course, as a master of martial arts, Jin Lun Dharma King's martial arts must be above Gao Shun, and the use of internal force is more advanced than physical brute force. In many cases, it can produce effects that ordinary people can't expect.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Gao Shun is no match for Jin Lun Dharma King.
