Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 1: The Art of Drawing a Sword

Daming, Shen's House.

Shen Ping'an stood in the courtyard, his feet seemed to have taken root, standing still, but his right hand was performing other movements in an orderly manner.

The movements are simple.

Draw your sword.

Draw your sword.

Resheath.

It is so simple that even a three-year-old child can complete it easily.

However, these three simple movements, in Shen Ping'an's hands, are filled with an indescribable sense of smoothness.

The hand holding the sword was as steady as a rock.

Whether drawing the sword or putting it back into the sheath, it was done accurately and quickly without any delay.

The dim sunlight was scattered, and Shen Pingan, dressed in a plain black robe, moved with a sword in his hand, his handsome face full of concentration and determination.

Anyone who sees him for the first time would probably praise him in their heart, "What a handsome man."

Edge of the yard.

A young man in his early twenties with a handsome appearance and a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old with skin as white as snow and a pretty and lovely face were sitting on the steps.

After a while, Shen Qingshan rubbed his sore eyes with both hands and sighed softly, "For ten years, my cousin has been practicing the simplest three movements in this yard every day. 'Sword Drawing' is a few basic sword moves that can't even be considered a martial art. Is it really necessary for my cousin to practice this every day for ten years?"

After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.

Shen Qingshan turned his head to look, and saw the girl next to him holding her chin with both hands, looking at Shen Pingan who continued to practice sword in the yard like a flower.

Shen Qingshan said with a hint of helplessness: "Fei Yan, you've been here for half a year now! Don't you get tired of watching your cousin practice sword every day?"

Qu Feiyan snorted softly and said, "Young Master is so handsome, why would I get tired of looking at him?"

Shen Qingshan's eyes moved to Shen Ping'an's face, then he touched his own face, grinned, and snorted coldly: "Superficial, when you look at people, you can't just look at their appearance. You have to understand their inner qualities and their character."

Qu Feiyan glanced at Shen Qingshan sideways, then curled her lips in disgust.

"If you don't look good anymore, who would be interested in getting to know you and your character?"

After saying that, Qu Feiyan turned her head and continued to look at Shen Pingan who was practicing sword in the yard. She even adjusted her sitting position and turned the back of her head towards Shen Qingshan.

"This girl is getting more and more infuriating."

But when he thought about what Qu Feiyan had just said, Shen Qingshan wanted to refute it, but inexplicably felt that there was some truth in it.

In response to this, Shen Qingshan looked at Shen Ping'an with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

At this time, Qu Feiyan nudged Shen Qing with her arm and lowered her voice, "By the way, a few days ago I heard from the Shen family that when the young master first came into contact with the Shen family's inherited sword technique, he just read it once and said a few words before mastering the sword technique. Is this true?"

When Shen Qingshan heard Qu Feiyan's question, he immediately became interested.

"You've asked the right person. I was there when my cousin first started practicing swordsmanship."

"Let me tell you, when my father first taught my cousin and me the Shen Family Swordsmanship, he only taught it once."

"Originally, my father's intention was just to let us see the mysteries of swordsmanship and then let us practice basic sword techniques."

"Who would have thought that after my cousin got the sword, he would immediately use the Shen Family Sword Technique."

Listening to Shen Ping'an's story, Qu Feiyan blinked. "You learned it after just one lesson? Is your talent really that high?"

Shen Qingshan said proudly: "That's right, my cousin is not only gifted in martial arts, but also has outstanding literary talent and a lofty spirit."

"At that time, my father asked a teacher to teach us calligraphy. No matter what the article was, my cousin could memorize it after reading it a few times, which made the teacher exclaim in amazement."

"Not long after, my cousin no longer needed a teacher to teach him. He could just browse freely in the library to read whatever he wanted."

Shen Qingshan was talking with great joy, and Qu Feiyan beside him was also listening with great interest, her two big round eyes blinking.

After a while, he sighed as if he had thought of something.

"Back then, when my cousin improved our Shen family's 'Returning Moon Sword Technique' and raised it to the upper level of the Xuan Rank, my father and the other elders of the Shen family all felt that with my cousin's talent, he would definitely become famous in the future."

"But for some reason, starting ten years ago, my cousin suddenly became obsessed with the simple martial art of swordsmanship."

"Although my father and the elders in the family usually let my cousin do what he wants, they are actually worried every day."

As he spoke, Shen Qingshan looked at Shen Ping'an, who was "not doing his job" at the moment, with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

In the courtyard.

Hearing Shen Qingshan's words behind him, Shen Ping'an's aura seemed to be affected and paused.

At the same time, Shen Ping'an's mouth corners also curled up slightly.

No one knew that as early as ten years ago, Shen Ping'an's memories of his previous life were completely revived due to a high fever caused by typhoid fever.

Only after digesting the memory did Shen Pingan become clear about the situation in the world he was in.

Different from any historical dynasty Shen Ping'an knew.

In this world, there is the Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Ming Dynasty in the south, the Sui Dynasty in the east, the Qin Dynasty in the west, and in the middle of the four countries is the increasingly weak Song Dynasty.

There are five countries coexisting, and there are more than a hundred small countries around them.

The territory is much larger than the Blue Star in the previous life.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the magic master Pang Ban was notorious. His master Meng Chixing, the national master Ba Shiba, and the emperor Si Hanfei were the three great masters of Mongolia. They had all entered the realm of heaven and man decades ago.

In the Qin Dynasty, it is said that Gai Nie of the Guiguzi School became the personal bodyguard of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, and there are also top forces such as the Yin-Yang School and Taoism.

In the Sui Dynasty, Cihang Jingzhai and Yinkui faction were fighting fiercely, and the Song clan, Yuwen clan and other clans were vying for supremacy.

In the Song Dynasty, the prestige of the North and South Beggar Gangs and the Northern Shaolin Temple grew, and there were also masters like Qiao Feng in the North and Murong in the South who had already entered the Guiyuan realm at the age of thirty.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wudang and Shaolin are both the leaders of the righteous sect and are feared by all. In the court, the Iron-Hearted Marquis Zhu Wusi established the Hulong Villa and was in a fierce battle with Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory.

In addition to top swordsmen who have been famous for many years such as Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan, there are also rising stars in the sword art such as Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and Ximen Chuixue of Wanmei Villa.

It can be said that this world completely encompasses all the martial arts characters that Shen Pingan knew in his previous life.

It's more than just a battle of heroes. The entire world can be described as "magnificent."

As for what Shen Qingshan said, such as "If Heaven had not given birth to me, Shen Ping'an, the sword path would have been in darkness forever", they were just some fragments of memories that he recalled before his memory was completely restored.

Who knew that these unintentional pretense would cause misunderstandings among the elders of the Shen family?
But the situation was complicated and Shen Pingan had no way to explain it.

After shaking his head and calming his mind, Shen Pingan continued to practice.

Shen Ping'an stopped practicing sword only after he felt a noticeable soreness in his right arm.
