Sword from Songshan

Chapter 23 Songshan Sword Technique 2.0
Could it be that I practiced it wrong?

It shouldn’t be.

If I practiced incorrectly, how could I have achieved the sword skills I have today?

Could it be that the little wooden tripod was wrong?

But he has been practicing according to Xiaomu Ding's guidance. If Xiaomu Ding made a mistake, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that he practiced incorrectly?

"what happened……"

It is actually very simple to tell who is right and who is wrong. Just try it and you will know!

Lu Nanxing has always been a man of action, so he started trying it out right away.

It was still the Songshan sword technique, but he no longer practiced it completely according to the sword manual. Instead, he wielded the sword and made moves according to the guidance of the poison in the small wooden tripod when it came to some subtle details.

In this case, Songshan swordsmanship is still good, but there are some deviations.

"wrong."

After a moment, Lu Nanxing stopped and frowned.

Could it be that Xiao Muding was really wrong?
Just now, he practiced according to the guidance of the small wooden tripod and found that each sword was a little bit lacking.

As the saying goes, a small mistake can lead to a big mistake. Although it is just a small difference, the result is completely different.

For example, the move 'Straight to the Point', the sword was two inches away, so it could have pierced the enemy's chest, but now it couldn't even reach his clothes.

Another example is the move 'Eternal Human Dragon', which could originally cut the enemy's neck, but now it was half an inch short and just passed by the throat without any danger.

If this is the case, then this set of Songshan swordsmanship, which is eight inside and nine outside, and has both long and short, fast and slow strokes, and is considered perfect, would be useless!
"what happened……"

Lu Nanxing was devastated by this result.

The level of frustration was even greater than if he had practiced incorrectly.

After all, he had been practicing with the assistance of the small wooden tripod before.

He regarded this magical little wooden tripod as his support for his future rise to the top of the world.

If Xiao Muding was wrong, that meant his golden finger was gone!
"How can it be!"

It was really hard to accept, so Lu Nanxing continued to practice in a huff, still following the guidance of the small wooden tripod.

But the more he practiced, the gloomier his expression became.

His judgment just now was correct. Following the guidance of the small wooden tripod, all his moves went astray!

"Oh~!"

Lu Nanxing sighed, put his sword back into the scabbard, and instantly lost all interest in practicing sword skills.

Not only did he not want to practice sword anymore, but he also did not hide in the house to practice eagle claw grappling techniques as usual when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

I went to bed early, but my eyes were wide open. I was thinking about the sword moves I had done during the day and couldn't fall asleep.

This went on until dawn, when he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Nanxing woke up after noon, washed up, found something to eat, and then continued to practice sword.

There was no change to the sword moves, and the practice was still based on the original secret book.

In this way, more than ten days passed in a flash.

"what happened."

I originally thought that I would stop having random thoughts and practice sword skills well, but the opposite happened.

With daily diligent practice, his sword skills improved, and other moves also began to show signs of deviation.

Up to now, all seventeen styles of Songshan swordsmanship have been completed like this.

Of course, Lu Nanxing can still practice according to the original version, and the poison in the small wooden tripod will still flow smoothly.

However, every time, somewhere in the middle, the toxin has a tendency to flow to another place, as if it is beating him over and over again.

How could Lu Nanxing not care if this continued?

This is like a river, with new branches appearing based on the original river channel.

Although the river water can be controlled and still flows along the original river channel, the river itself keeps moving towards new branches.

"try again!"

Lu Nanxing frowned for a long time, took a deep breath, and decided to try it again. Then, he followed the guidance of the small wooden tripod and revised and re-practiced all 17 moves of Songshan Sword Technique.

The result, of course, was the same as before, all the moves went astray.

"Ok?"

But this time, there was a small problem in the middle.

When he performed the move 'Yujing Tianchi', the tip of the sword missed by an inch, but due to a momentary distraction, the hilt slipped slightly out of his hand and flew out an inch, just hitting the wooden stake!

Lu Nanxing couldn't help but complain, it turned out that the sword was too short.

"The sword...is too short."

It was just a joke just now, but when I think about it now, it suddenly seems like an epiphany!
Lu Nanxing seemed to realize something, then got up and left the yard.

He came back a moment later with a thick wooden stick in his hand. Obviously, he had cut down a tree that had not yet grown on the mountain.

Fresh tree trunks cannot be used as firewood. The Songshan Sect has a dining hall, so Lu Nanxing doesn’t have to light a fire to cook.

Then, he was seen slashing with his sword.

About half an hour later, a slightly rough wooden sword was completed.

However, it is longer and wider than an ordinary sword.

The blade of an ordinary long sword is more than three feet long, and four feet is the limit. It requires a swordsman with extremely tall stature and very long arms to use it. However, this wooden sword is more than five feet long!

In terms of sword width, an ordinary long sword is only one or two inches wide, but this wooden sword is five inches wide!
It is five feet long and five inches wide. It is not a sword at all. It is almost like a piece of wood.

"That's how it should be."

Looking at this 'big sword', Lu Nanxing nodded with satisfaction.

Then his expression changed and he started practicing again.

Following the guidance of Xiaomu Ding, a revised version of Songshan Swordsmanship.

Buzz~!

The sword is long and wide, and the fresh wood is damp and heavy, so it makes a whirring sound when swung.

It was still the same seventeen moves of Songshan sword technique, and there seemed to be no difference, but when wielded with this big sword, it was even more majestic!
In comparison, the Songshan swordsmanship performed by an ordinary long sword seems a bit petty.

"That's right! That's right! It's right this time!"

After a while, after using all seventeen sword techniques, Lu Nanxing's face was filled with excitement.

In addition to differences in moves, the sword techniques of various schools and factions also have their own unique styles.

Take the Five Mountains Sword Sects for example. Hengshan Sect has always had only female disciples, and their sword techniques focus on being gentle and agile. Another example is Hengshan Sect, where most of the disciples are passionate, and their sword techniques are not restricted to one style, and there are even some unique skills that incorporate magic tricks.

As for the Songshan School, with the Five Mountains in the center, its sword techniques are also dignified, majestic and solemn.

However, no matter as a reader in his previous life or as a disciple of Songshan School now, Lu Nanxing always felt that Songshan swordsmanship was missing something.

What was missing? Now he finally understood: it was a lack of specialization!
Although, after being refined and organized by Zuo Lengchan, Songshan Sword Technique has become the top sword technique in the martial arts world today, however, although these seventeen sword techniques are perfect, none of them is so outstanding that it can be called a unique skill!

In this way, Songshan's swordsmanship seems mediocre and has nothing outstanding about it.

Still taking the Five Mountains sword sects as an example, the Hengshan sect has the Thirteen Cloud and Mist Styles which incorporates magic tricks, the Taishan sect has the invincible but seemingly unrealistic Daizong, and the Hengshan sect has the cotton-padded jacket of "I won't offend others if they don't offend me".

Even the Huashan Sect, which had been severely damaged in the battle of sword energy, had the deadly Three Immortal Swords and the 108-style Gale Sword.

Only the Songshan School, although its seventeen sword techniques were perfect, did not refine any one of them to become the ultimate move to defeat the enemy.

"That's it!"

It was not until now, through the guidance of the small wooden tripod, that Lu Nanxing used the broadsword to perform the modified version of Songshan swordsmanship, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

The greatsword is the specialization of Songshan swordsmanship!

Only by using a greatsword can one truly achieve the momentum of thousands of troops galloping, with spears and halberds sweeping away everything!

"It's worthy of being called a small wooden tripod."

Sure enough, the small wooden tripod was not wrong.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with what Lu Nanxing had practiced before.

The change in the direction of the toxin flow is actually an upgrade and enhancement based on the original version of the Songshan Sword Technique!
If the ordinary longsword performs the basic version, then the greatsword performs the Songshan Sword Technique 2.0.
