Five swords realm of loneliness and defeat
The sword level is to use the sharpness of the sword to bring the moves to the extreme, and at the same time, the speed, internal force and consciousness are also improved simultaneously; The core of Dugu Jiujian's martial arts theory is that there is a way to defeat an opponent without any moves (meaning that the simplest, most direct and most accurate move is to defeat an opponent without constraints and restrictions), and the moves are simple, direct and accurate; It is beyond the reach of any move, and it is fast and has excellent consciousness (finding the opponent's flaws, making moves by self-judgment, and responding very quickly, etc.). ) and high internal force.
The nine swords used by Ling Huchong belong to the level of (sword level), and the moves reach the extreme; Advanced consciousness, first-class speed, and extremely high internal force (the nine swords of Dugu are not limited to the sword level, but one of the quintessence of all martial arts). The legendary swordsman also said to Ling Huchong in the original text: Excellent swordsmanship? You are far from the best fencing. After practicing for 20 years, you can compete with the first-class masters, and then you can win more and lose less. The system described by the Nine Swords of Dugu is the martial arts system of seeking defeat by Dugu. It is also a fencing system that seeks defeat alone and a life experience system that seeks defeat alone; It is a kind of growth and detachment, an understanding of nature and life.
This period should be the primary stage of the Nine Swords of Dugu. Dugu's unique skills in martial arts, such as the sharpness, accuracy and quickness of his sword, can foresee the enemy's opportunities and be invincible without being discovered by the enemy.
Then, in the constant contest and duel, I constantly learn martial arts and actual combat experience, so that the nine swords in my hand are constantly improved and supplemented. The reason why the general formula of the first sword of the Nine Swords of Dugu has more than 3,000 words should have started from this period and then accumulated in the Jianghu career that lasted for many years.
Nine swords of loneliness. This kind of swordsmanship is completely different from most swordsmanship in the world. Most swordsmanship in the world has its own moves and routines, but Dugu Jiujian has no fixed moves, which is specially made to crack other moves.
Therefore ... if you want to practice this fencing to perfection, you must increase it through a lot of actual combat against the enemy. And it is with many people who use different weapons and different martial arts. Let's put it another way. It can be said that it takes a lot of experience to accumulate and grow. Moreover, this experience value is not based on fighting monsters and doing tasks, but must be practical experience. "Wei Zi soft sword, used before the age of thirty, accidental injury is just a bad omen, but was abandoned in a ravine. 」
Soft sword level is to pursue the extreme of change on the basis that the moves have been brought to the extreme; Higher consciousness, faster speed and higher internal force than the sword level.
Recruit and attack, change style, and win with change and speed. The posture and speed of shooting are as charming as ghosts and as straight as smoke. The stage of using Lagerstroemia indica in soft sword is the stage of reaching the ultimate change; The characteristics of soft sword are extremely changeable, flexible, difficult to send and receive freely and difficult to control; Because its soft sword is difficult to control, it is extremely sharp. Due to the incident of "accidentally injuring the righteous", Dugu was possessed by the magic road of seeking defeat, so he was named Demonbane.
About "impermanence": in short, there is nothing to do; If one party is too fast for the other party to stop, it is impermanence, then "fast" is impermanence, such as Gu Long's A Fei and Jing Wuming; If the two sides are at the same speed or will not beat each other soon, as long as one side's hand is weird enough, it can be taken by surprise; Let the other party feel that something is wrong, and you can take advantage in an instant. Therefore, "strangeness" is impermanent, represented by Du Fu and Bei Gai who meditate and struggle for a while while fighting on Peach Blossom Island in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. As far as I know, whether it is "fast" or "odd", their common ground is changeable, so it is named "impermanence".
Soft sword's biggest feature is changeable, and swinging out of soft sword in the same posture will have completely different effects due to different initial states. A sword that "changes" and "is faster" than others is probably impermanent.
To seek defeat by solitude, we must understand all the changes in soft sword and be able to do whatever we want, so as to reach an almost impermanent state; And he used soft sword's "impermanence" to further make the meaning of the nine swords of Dugu more mysterious and bizarre, thus making it world-beater. The change of combining rigidity with softness should also be impermanent. ) Nine swords of Dugu are sword-level or soft sword-level swordsmanship. I still pay more attention to the skills of moves. Although I claimed to have broken all the moves in the world, I didn't break the fence after all. I am weaker than a sword. Nine swords of Dugu is a great achievement and has no advantage in fencing. There is no deep internal force complementarity, and the moves are exquisite. Power is also limited. Generally speaking, the Nine Swords of Dugu are really limited to the skill changes of moves. In the realm, it is weaker than epee fencing in the late stage of solitary defeat. This is not a false inference, but a fact. As far as the eighteen palms of the dragon are concerned, one palm hits and Feng Gang growls. Even if the swordsmanship of the nine swords in Dugu is exquisite and changeable, even the ten feet in front of the users of the 18-palm dragon are not close to the sword, so it is ruined by Feng Gang of the 18-palm dragon. How can it be broken?
"Epee no front, Da Qiao also not line. Before I was forty, I traveled all over the world on it. 」
Compared with soft sword, the epee period was a qualitative leap, a qualitative change from winning by surprise to winning by its own hardware. The epee has no front, and the clever thinking is ineffective; During this period, loneliness and internal force were extremely strong, and then with the help of darksteel epee; An ordinary move can also exert great power and defeat the opponent with the simplest, most direct, most accurate and most powerful force.
If the internal skill is exquisite and profound, even if it is unremarkable, as long as it is extremely rapid, it is unstoppable and inevitable. No matter how the opponent moves, whether there is a flaw in martial arts, just swing a sword; But if you teach better than the other person, you can achieve the effect of breaking ten times with one hand.
Just as Hong Qigong told Guo Jing how to use eighteen palms (the triple version is the palm of fallen English sword) to deal with the peach blossom falling into English palm in Legend of the Condor Heroes, "So the only way to break her palm is to treat her palm regardless of whether it is true or not, no matter whether it is true or not, you only give her a trick' Kang Longyou regrets'. When she saw that you did a good job, she had to fight back, which was broken. " Hong Qigong said, just can confirm the fierce epee is better than the ever-changing soft sword. The so-called "epee has no front, big skills don't work." In other words, it doesn't need too many complicated skills. As long as the strength is strong enough, the strength is fierce enough, and in the case of relative strength, it is enough to defeat the enemy and defeat the opponent. After crossing the world with an epee in hand, all you can do after defeat is to surpass your peak and limit. And the method he adopted is to derive the extremely high level of the martial arts master's "flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people" to the extreme, so he has the swordsmanship as good as "wood blade is not sluggish" when he uses black iron to epee.
Wood blade, who is light, can control the heavy with light. There are only two ways: First, he is skilled in swordsmanship, and he can fight slowly with fast; First, internal strength is abundant, relying on the strong to defeat the weak. Judging from the process and results of Yang Guo's construction of a barren valley and his later study of wood blade in the East China Sea, he did achieve the degree of combining the two.
Some people say that Yang Guo's wood blade made a mistake. It is believed that wood blade should, like Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi sword, follow one's inclinations and use the method of combining rigidity with softness to defeat the enemy. However, as the seventeenth cycle of Legend of the Condor Heroes said: "Although you are warm and tough, you have practiced all 18 dragon-fighting skills by Hong Qigong, and I can't beat you." Hong Qigong is the best in the world, and Zhou Kongquan is the best in the world. Just because Zhou's skill is slightly inferior to Hong Qigong's, softness can't win.
But if the technology was better than Hong last week, the result would be reversed. It can be seen that the strength of combining rigidity with softness lies in the number of potential paths between the two, and the survival of the fittest. There is no difference between strength and weakness in itself, just as everything in yin and yang has two sides. Zhang Sanfeng's "wood blade" is indeed the most gentle practice, but wood blade, who seeks defeat alone, is another most vigorous swordsmanship. There is nothing wrong with both, except that the former has a circle of strength and no stagnation; The latter is strong and powerful, and each is only two levels of rigidity and softness in Wushu.
As Yang Guo realized at the beginning of epee: "In the future, when the internal force grows, the sword used will be lighter. In the end, wood blade will use epee, which is just a skill from shallow to deep. As for fencing, that's it. " He only practiced the first to second swordsmanship. How to prove that what he has practiced is correct? You can imagine: If you practice the gentlest swordsmanship in Zhang Sanfeng, wouldn't it be much better to practice in a secluded training room or a deserted valley than to walk in the East China Sea for two months when pedestrians come and go? Under the impact of the surging tide of nature, is there any other way to use it besides fighting with stronger power? As a god carving who witnessed the whole process of losing the battle and practicing the wooden sword, he is absolutely fully aware of the practice of this sword from beginning to end.
So regardless of Yang Guo's intention to go north, he forcibly took him to the coast of the East China Sea. And drove him to the sea to practice his sword. The army was very strict, and it was not until six years later that Yang Guo roughly reached the level of wood blade who struggled for defeat alone, that he left the seaside with him and walked the rivers and lakes. Some people may say that Yang Guo, who was later defeated by the Great Carving, had to do whatever he wanted. But why did the vulture use force to persuade Yang Guo? Although it can't speak, it still has a mouth that can make a loud sound; As long as he feels that Yang Guo's swordsmanship is different from Demonbane's in his memory, he can make trouble while practicing his sword; Or scream, or shake your head and flap your wings. There are many ways to interfere. Besides, apart from the story itself, from the original intention of Master Jin Yong, it is impossible to write a ridiculous thing about practicing sword for the protagonist of his novel. Therefore, Yang Guo's wood blade, which was practiced under the guidance of the carved gods and the strict supervision of the workers, was indeed the sword that was practiced that year.
Others said that Yang Guo regretted that he didn't bring a black iron sword to defend against the enemy when he played the golden wheel in Xiangyang, and his judgment was too one-sided. The fundamental reason for wood blade to win epee is his superior strength, and at the same time, he can surpass epee in speed by virtue of the agility of weapons. The object of comparison also refers to the self at the beginning of the two worlds, not the same period. Otherwise, how can the dark iron epee, as the first magic weapon in Jin Yong's novels, be comparable to wood blade, who can be easily cut off? From Yang Guo's three encounters with Condors in different periods, we can see that wood blade's stab energy is better than that in epee period:
The performance of Yang Guo who is about to practice epee against the condor (one practice is still needed) "After one month, I can barely resist the amazing power of the condor, and I can't help but feel gratified." -"The Condor Heroes" 26 back
Wood blade, who practiced at the seaside for less than a month, said: "It seems that I practiced twice a day, but I didn't practice in January, and my self-awareness has made great progress. If I hold wood blade in my hand and touch a thorn in dry land, it looks like a tide. From then on, the statue of God jumped on him like a play, so he avoided the front of wood blade and dared not touch his wings. " -"The Condor Heroes" back to 32.
After practicing wood blade at the seaside for six years, I learned a magic skill: "At this time, Yang Guo hit wood blade with his hand and stabbed him in the tide, and the strong wind on his sword could resist the huge waves. Even if the strength of the god carving is amazing, it can't stop him from wood blade's three strokes and two styles. " -"The Condor Heroes" back to 32.
Yang Guo made great technical progress in these two periods, from barely drawing the idol to three strokes and two styles, which made the other side irresistible. And this is the great gain brought by wood blade's tsunami fighting practice. Finally, when he uses wood blade, his power is stronger than when he uses magic. It can be seen that wood blade's technical level of seeking defeat alone has been qualitatively improved compared with that of epee period. Compared with the mountain torrents in the deserted valley, the ferocity of the tides is even worse: "The power of the tides comes from all directions, and muddy water is not as good as mountain torrents ..." In The Condor Heroes, Yang Guocheng, the great sword, was "too tired to look pale" when he first entered the tide, which shows the huge gap between the two realms. No wonder I have to practice fencing here alone. After wood blade's practice, he can "break the tree and keep the sword". "Facing the waves, he can stab the tide, and the strong wind on the sword can resist the huge waves." Is "wood blade peerlessly"! At this time, seeking defeat alone has reached the highest level of martial arts. With reference to the examples of Yang Guo and wood blade, palm power can compete with the forces of nature in the turbulent waves and tides. At this time, seeking the failed cultivation realm alone can only be more profound and exquisite. Sword refers to a form of martial arts against the enemy, and the level of wood blade has reached the realm that everything in the world can be a sword; Even if you are empty-handed, you still have a sword. Since he abandoned the sword in his hand, if he wants to attack the enemy again at this moment, he has to turn gas into a sword. The realm of being able to concretize Qi (internal force) at will is not limited to specific acupoints of the human body, that is, it is better to have a sword without a sword, plus the method that he realized in his early years that it is better to have a trick without a trick. As the saying goes, "no sword moves." Because it is an air sword, it is fast, free and unconstrained; Because attacking others with "Qi", the lethality can be strong or weak. When you are strong, you can attack the stone and break the stone. When you are weak, you can point and pulse, and the killing distance can be long or short. When it is long, it can be extended to the outside, and when it is short, it can be condensed around and can be used for close combat. Compared with the past, the offensive means in the sword-free period is to attack the enemy to win. Compared with attacking the enemy with a real sword, the biggest advantage of attacking the enemy with an air sword is hand speed. This point was written when describing Duan Yu's intangible six-pulse Excalibur in Tianlong Babu. However, the methods of two people's moves should be flexibly used between such poke points. It's just that Duan Yu's six-pulse Excalibur still relies on tricks, but it's better not to recruit and lose alone, and let the sword follow one's inclinations without leaving any trace.
"From then on, intensive training has gradually progressed to the realm that no sword is better than a sword." Some people may take the word "gradual" as the basis, and think that loneliness has not reached the realm of "no sword" throughout their lives; However, don't forget that this is a "sword tomb". If there is no sword, there is no need to add "No sword after 50" next to wood blade. If it is, it will be a "show". In order to lose, if you can't get here, who can? The highest level of fighting skill is that there is no sword in hand and no sword in heart. No sword is to be kind to the enemy without killing him. But what is the specific way of no sword? Yes-invisible gas sword! Invisible air sword is the most lethal of all martial arts! Why does the world's "least killer" kendo have the power to "kill the most"? ! "Don't kill" is one pole, and "kill" is the other. The two poles are unity of opposites, mutual conditions and mutual transformation. Killing is not killing, not killing is killing, killing and not killing. You can kill or not kill in one thought, and you don't need to insist. For those who have no self, God is useless and saints are nameless. It is not only the realm of fencing, but also the realm of winning in life. It is an ideal realm of life to wander freely between heaven and earth without relying on foreign objects. No matter whether the sword is as sharp as mud or fragile, it is just a foreign object. The highest state of fencing is to win without strokes, and no sword is better than a sword, because no strokes and no sword strikes have turned into a sword transformed from an invisible air sword, and the so-called benevolent is invincible. It can turn everything into the most powerful weapon, whether physically or mentally, without anything. Heaven regards everything as a grass dog, ruthlessness is a big feeling, but it is unintentional. Everything has its own laws. Naturally, everything is treated equally and has evolved according to its inherent laws. Neither life nor non-life can be left out. Realize the mutual dissolution of neo-Confucianism and humanism, and the harmonious integration of science and humanities and arts. Achieve a high degree of unity between the body, mind and spirit of Taoist culture and the material, energy and information of modern science. Metaphor can completely exhaust life (including people's conscious choice, value orientation and all feelings) and inanimate nature (the law of evolution of all things). The meaning of no sword is very broad, and the king of Wu is a soldier who defeats others without fighting. Let's analyze: Wushu can strengthen the body, dredge meridians, make the body in the best state of harmony and make the body and mind Shu Tai. The so-called homology of medicine and martial arts means understanding human beings themselves, and even understanding physiological medicine can achieve the ultimate goal of exploring the laws of nature. In the actual combat of martial arts, the meaning of no sword can include: moral influence, the rule of tactics, the display of tricks, the use of poison, hidden weapons's sneak attack, and the power of science and technology (which is the leading force in the actual combat of modern society). These are all sword-free grades.
