Travel through the heavens

More than half a month had passed since Prince Disha went on a diplomatic mission to Daqin. One afternoon, Fang Muye was practicing chopping, stabbing, poking and blocking in the backyard when Uncle Fu walked in with a look of joy on his face.

"Uncle Fu, is there any good news?" Fang Muye put away his sword and stood up, letting out a long breath.

"My lord, may God have mercy on me. I have finally found someone who can sell my martial arts skills to you. He is waiting for you in the front hall now." Uncle Fu said happily.

"That's great!" Fang Muye was very surprised. After more than three months, when he had given up hope, there was finally a result. It was like a miracle that after going through so many twists and turns, there was always a way out.

Fang Muye and Uncle Fu came to the front hall, and a strange man who was originally sitting there also stood up.

The man was in his thirties, his clothes were tattered, his face was covered with stubble, his hair was slightly messy, and he looked quite shabby, but he had a slender figure and stood upright. He exuded a sense of coolness and an ethereal feeling that made him stand out from the crowd. The most noticeable thing about him was his eyes, which were deep and clear, like a clear pond.

After a quick look, Fang Muye bowed to the man and said, "Nangong Yan greets you, sir."

The man returned the greeting but said nothing.

"May I ask your name, sir?" Fang Muye asked.

The man said, "He is a man of the countryside, so it's better not to mention his name." His voice was just like him, clear and melodious.

Fang Muye had no choice but to stop the pleasantries and get straight to the point: "I wonder what martial arts skills you have, sir?" He was so happy just now that he forgot to ask Uncle Fu.

"My martial art is swordsmanship. Are you willing to learn it?" the man asked. When he mentioned swordsmanship, his back seemed to straighten up a lot.

"I'm willing to learn!" Fang Muye had been practicing chopping, stabbing, slashing and blocking with the sword for three months. He was very familiar with the weapon. If he were to practice other skills, he might not be used to it. This man's martial art, swordsmanship, just happened to suit Fang Muye's current situation and wishes.

When Fang Muye first met this man, he felt something when he saw his temperament. Now that he thinks about it carefully, the feeling this man gave him is exactly that of a sword.

The man is like a sword, with a clear and sharp aura. It seems that the person in front of him should be a peerless swordsman.

"It costs a hundred gold coins to learn my swordsmanship. I will only teach you for three days. How much you can learn depends entirely on your ability. During these three days, I will eat and live in your house, and every meal will be accompanied by fine wine and meat. Do you agree to this?" The swordsman said coldly.

Fang Muye readily agreed: "Yes!"

Although the swordsman's words were a bit arrogant, how many people with real skills are not arrogant? The most important thing is that the swordsman left a very good impression on Fang Muye, which made Fang Muye trust him. Moreover, it took more than three months to find one, so how could Fang Muye give up? After all, he didn't have much time left.

However, the swordsman was only willing to teach for three days, which was too short a time, and I didn’t know how much I could learn.

The swordsman said: "In that case, let's start today."

Fang Muye immediately took the swordsman to the backyard.

The swordsman stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, silent, as if recalling something. After a long while, he said leisurely: "My swordsmanship is the Yue Girl Sword passed down from the Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period."

Fang Muye couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard this: "The Sword of the Yue Girl!"

Anyone who likes to read Mr. Jin’s martial arts novels would know about The Sword of Yue Girl.

In Mr. Jin's martial arts world, Qiao Feng of the North and Guo Jing of the North can be said to be martial arts masters at the "God of War" level, but they cannot single-handedly challenge an army of a thousand people.

Ah Qing, a girl from Yue who learned swordsmanship from the white ape, relied on the sword in her hand to make a thousand soldiers and a thousand swordsmen helpless in front of her. Wherever she went, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers and swordsmen were knocked down.

The Vietnamese girl Ah Qing has simply transcended the martial arts system and stepped into the realm of immortal heroes.

Fang Muye originally thought that the Sword of Yue Girl was just a fabrication by Mr. Jin. But when he heard the swordsman mention it, he naturally couldn't help but be surprised. How come the world of the movie "The Myth" is related to Mr. Jin's martial arts world?

Getting involved?

In fact, Fang Muye is ignorant. In reality, there are also documents recording the Sword of Yue Girl.

There is a comment in "Wu Yue Chunqiu": The King of Yue was defeated by the King of Wu, and he had a plan for revenge. Although he had the power of chariots and boats, he was frustrated by the use of crossbows, so he asked Fan Li for advice. Fan Li recommended that there was a virgin in Yue, who was praised by the people. The King of Yue sent an envoy to marry her, and asked her about the art of swords and halberds, and then gave her a female title, "Yue Girl".

In addition, Yue women are also mentioned in ancient documents or literary works such as "Yiwen Leiju", "Jianxia Zhuan", "Romance of the Warring States Period", and "Yue Jue Shu".

Mr. Jin's "Sword of the Yue Girl" was also written based on the famous ancient Chinese woodblock print "Thirty-three Swordsmen", the first picture of which was "Mrs. Zhao".

The swordsman heard Fang Muye's exclamation and thought that he knew about the Yue Girl Sword. He asked in surprise, "You actually know about it?"

Fang Muye knew that the swordsman had misunderstood, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only answer awkwardly: "I heard a little bit about it."

The swordsman did not doubt him and continued, "In order to avenge the Kingdom of Wu, the King of Yue hired a Yue woman to train 3,000 Yue soldiers and teach them swordsmanship. My ancestor was also among the 3,000 soldiers, so I learned the Yue woman's sword. And because my ancestor was different from ordinary people in swordsmanship, he was also taught by the Yue woman and learned 70% of the essence of the Yue woman's sword."

"Back then, the Yue Girl Sword was famous on the battlefields of Wu and Yue. After the fall of Yue, and after more than two hundred years of war, the Yue Girl Sword was almost extinct. Now it is even less famous. We, the descendants, are really ashamed of our ancestors."

"General Nangong will be able to practice well in the future. If he can make a name for himself in the army, it will be considered as the will of heaven. It will comfort the Yue female sword lineage. This is why I am willing to teach you the sword technique."

After explaining the origin of the Yue Girl Sword, the swordsman paused for a moment before officially teaching, saying in all seriousness: "The Yue Girl Sword has a twenty-word essence, which is 'movement inside and stillness outside, strike last but arrive first, concentrate, change quickly and uncannily, and surprise the enemy.' You must remember these twenty words!"

"Move inside and be quiet outside, strike last but be the first to arrive, focus fully, change quickly and swiftly, and take the enemy by surprise." Fang Muye repeated it.

The swordsman nodded slightly and continued, "When the Yue girl met the King of Yue, she discussed the Dao with him and said, 'The Dao is very subtle and easy, and its meaning is very profound. The Dao has doors, and also yin and yang. Opening doors and closing doors, yin declines and yang rises. When fighting the Dao, the spirit is solid inside and the demeanor is calm outside. When you see it, it looks like a good woman. When you seize it, it looks like a frightened tiger. It spreads its shape and weather, and goes with the spirit. It is as distant as the sun, and as biased as a leaping tiger. It chases the shape and follows the sun, and its light is like a shadow. It breathes back and forth, and cannot be stopped by the law. It goes up and down, forward and backward, and it cannot be heard.'"

"This is also the way of the Yue Girl Sword. You need to comprehend it well. It will complement your swordsmanship. If you can comprehend it thoroughly, your swordsmanship will naturally become perfect. If you can master your swordsmanship, you will naturally be able to comprehend it completely."

Fang Muye found the swordsman's remarks obscure and difficult to understand, but he did not dare to say much. He just tried to memorize them in his mind, trying to memorize them first and then slowly understand them later. Unexpectedly, he performed exceptionally well and remembered 70% of them after just one listen.

Fang Muye couldn't help but wonder how his memory was so good, but he still didn't remember everything, so he wanted the swordsman to say it again.

The swordsman seemed to have expected this, and before Fang Muye could ask, he said, "I'll write it down later, and you can just memorize it."

Fang Muye bowed his hands in thanks and asked a question that concerned him: "Sir, may I ask how powerful this sword technique is?"

Although they are both Yuenu Swords, they are in different worlds after all. In Jin Yong's martial arts world, Ah Qing's Yuenu Sword can defeat a thousand armored soldiers and a thousand swordsmen, as if she were in an empty space. I wonder how many soldiers the Yuenu Sword passed down by Yuenu can fight in the world of "Myth".

The swordsman said proudly: "If you have practiced well, you can fight in battle alone and defeat a hundred people."

Fang Muye thought to himself: One man is equal to a hundred? That's almost as strong as Meng Yi.

In the battle for medicine, Meng Yi stood alone at the entrance of the valley, killing the Qin soldiers so badly that their corpses piled up like a mountain and no one dared to move forward. In the end, he was exhausted and trembling all over, and could not even stand, so he was shot by Zhao Kuang with an arrow and beheaded.

Fang Muye didn't dare to think about the possibility of being able to defeat a hundred people after successful practice. He just hoped that in the coming days, he could practice the Yuenu Sword to a level that could protect himself.

In this way, you can achieve your small goals and survive well in the battle for the elixir.

As for the ultimate goal, it is naturally to take the elixir of immortality and live forever.
