This armory is the size of a small gymnasium, and there are all kinds of blades in it, such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grasps, hammers, sticks, lances, and sticks. All the weapons of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info are neatly placed on the weapon rack, as many as twenty rows!

Qing Xuan's eyes turned green when he saw so many weapons at once, he touched this, and then looked at that. Because no one cleaned it for a long time, a thick layer of dust fell on this weapon, Qing Xuan picked it up for a while, and then picked it up again to take a look, and it didn't take long for his hands to be black. Because the dust brought up by the walk of people is emitted in the air, so that the air is filled with a faint smell of dust.

Walking along the armory rack in a row, on the fifteenth row of armor racks, there was a slender yellow satin brocade box, this brocade box looked really eye-catching, Qing Xuan couldn't help but pick it up and look at it carefully. The satin surface of the brocade box is painted with the sun and moon patterns, and there are auspicious clouds around the sun and moon. Brushed off the dust on it, gently opened the lid of the box, and saw a folding fan inside!

"This fan was made three years ago, at that time, the world was initially decided, and in order to reward the founding heroes, Gaozu ordered the Arsenal Division to make a batch of new weapons. This batch of new weapons has a complete range of types, including eighteen kinds of weapons, and I saw that this fan was beautiful at that time, so I took this. Cheng Biting Jin elaborated on the origin of this fan, Qing Xuan listened to it, and thought to himself, this fan is so precious, it seems that I am a little embarrassed to take it.

Cheng Yanjin took out this fan from the brocade box and unfolded the fan, but saw that this fan was indeed different. I saw that the fan body was about 1 foot 2 inches long, about 6 inches wide, and the fan handle alone was about 9 inches long. The fan bone is made of fine iron, and the fan surface is made of an off-white fine silk, which is painted with a Tai Chi pattern in black and white tones.

"Here, you try, look at this fan, you have to move your martial arts." Cheng Yanjin handed the fan to Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan took it and checked it, this fan is indeed much heavier than an ordinary fan, but compared to the big axe just now, it is still much lighter. With two more gentle waves, I couldn't help but feel some sour feeling in my wrist.

"How? Brother, do you still make it habitual? Cheng Yanjin asked.

"Well, it's fine except it's a little bigger."

In the past, he liked to make fans, which are small and lightweight, easy to carry, and not ambiguous to fight people. In my memory, Qianlong and Chu Liuxiang both made fans, and when this thing danced, it was really a personable.

"Then you can use this fan well."

"This ...... How embarrassing, this is given to you by Gaozu as a souvenir, and I can't take it well. Qing Xuan likes this fan very much, but he is embarrassed to ask for it because of his face. What kind of character is Cheng Yanjin, can't he see this detail?

He took the fan, put it in the box, and then stuffed it into Qing Xuan's arms, and said, "If my brother likes it, take it, anyway, I make an axe, and it's useless to keep this." ”

"Since the eldest brother has accepted it like this, the younger brother is not welcome." Qing Xuan saw that Cheng Biting Jin was so generous, what else was polite to him, he would accept it first.

Seeing that Qing Xuan couldn't put it down with the folding fan, Cheng Biting Jin said with a smile: "Brother really still pays attention to demeanor, no matter what, although the power of the fan is not as good as the axe and hook sword, but it can defeat the enemy invisibly." Since you have chosen this weapon, then I will teach you how to use the fan. “

……

On the martial arts training field, Cheng Yanjin seriously taught the use of Qingxuan's folding fan.

"The fan is one of the short weapons, which evolved from the peach blossom fan in the palace. Because this fan is different from ordinary fans, the composition is slightly different. Its fan bones are mostly made of steel, and the fan surface is mostly silk or short yarn, and some even use cast iron as raw materials to make the fan surface, and the wings of the fan have sharp blades, which can be split and chopped, and can also be covered and blocked to prevent hidden weapons. Closed like an iron rod, it can be hit and hit. In summer, you can also fan the wind to dispel the heat. This is incomparable to other weapons. “

After a pause, Cheng Yanjin continued, "Compared with the gun, the fan is short and strong, and it is easy to carry, that is, it can be inserted into the back collar, it can also be pinned to the waist, and it can also be tucked away in the bag. But there are few people who can really practice fan skills well. As far as I know, the Wudang faction invented the Tai Chi Golden Fan to practice qi and maintain health. This fan probably imitates Wudang's Tai Chi Golden Fan. You can see it by looking at the Tai Chi pattern above. ”

Qing Xuan unfolded the folding fan, and looked carefully at the Taiji diagram on the surface, the two black and white diagrams were like two big tadpoles, one positive and one negative, lying on the surface of the fan with each other.

"The fan is a weapon used in close combat. That is, in hand-to-hand combat, you must learn the kung fu of your hands and feet. That is, it ranks last among the eighteen kinds of martial arts, but it is the basis of other kung fu, that is, white fighting. White fighting, as the name suggests, is an unarmed and stabbing fight. This is the method of introductory martial arts, and (1) it is also the source of martial arts. If you practice your kung fu in vain, the fan will be handy. ”

"Bai Da emphasizes the quick eyes and hands, and covers the ears with lightning speed, that is, the eyes should be fast, the body is as light as a swallow, the soles of the feet are like the wind, and the movements are like light and shadow. It can be summed up in one word: 'fast. Fast can take the lead, fast can be preemptive, fast means that the eye to the hand, the hand to the heart, in this way, in order to defeat the enemy invisible, to avoid the enemy in thousands of miles. ”

Qing Xuan took the folding fan and listened quietly, using his heart to comprehend every word Cheng Yanjin said. However, to achieve the speed he said, it can only be achieved with continuous practice, and the so-called practice makes perfect, which is not a state that can be achieved all at once.

"Those who practice martial arts are also like cultivating the Tao, (2) the Tao has a door, and there is also yin and yang. Where the way of hand fighting, the spirit of inner truth, and the outer show of peace, see it like a good woman, and take it like a tiger. Cloth-shaped climate, with God. If the sun is like a rabbit, chasing the shape and shadow, the light is as if it is. Breathing back and forth, not as forbidden by law. Vertical and horizontal, straight and unheard. One person is a hundred, and a hundred people are ten thousand. The king tried it, and he saw it. ”……

The first day of teaching ended in this complicated theoretical teaching.

……

……

The next few days are about hands-on teaching. Cheng Yanjin taught what he usually learned to Qingxuan one by one. Although Qing Xuan is small, he is very clever, and it didn't take long for him to master the introduction to martial arts, watching the boy improve day by day, Cheng Yanjin's heart was very happy. He felt that this child was teachable, and he would become a great tool in the future. The crux of his mind was solved, and it seemed that it was time to bring it up.

On this day, after finishing his homework, Cheng Yanjin called Qingxuan to him and said, "I said brother, my eldest brother has something I want to discuss with you today, and I don't know if I should talk about it or not." ”

Although the relationship between the two is that of master and apprentice, they have always been regarded as brothers in this generation. Although Qing Xuan is small, he loves to be a junior, no matter how much people are older than him, he likes to talk to others about brothers, Cheng Yanjin likes his character, but he doesn't care. On the contrary, I feel that this title has shortened the distance between the two.

"Big brother doesn't have to be polite, if you have anything to say, just say it in person." Qing Xuan said boldly.

"We've known each other for almost half a year, and from the moment we met in Beiju, I felt that you were a good person, knowledgeable, and straightforward, without bending your bowels, and very humorous. My old Cheng has lived so long and made countless friends, but you are different. I love it. I think you're young and shouldn't have a family, so ...... I'm going to make a matchmaker out of this, and I'm going to marry my only daughter to you, do you think it's going to happen? ”

Cheng Yanjin has been thinking about this for a long time, and he always feels that the time has not come, so every time he sees Qing Xuan, he wants to stop talking. Today, he finally said the words that had been buried for a long time, although he was worried about whether Qingxuan would agree, but he was always vomiting quickly, and his heart felt a lot more comfortable.

"Well...... this" Qing Xuan didn't expect Cheng Yanjin to give him such a problem, and refusing to do so in person would save his face, after all, Cheng Yanjin has been treating him well for so long, Qing Xuan is not a fool, and he won't feel it. But if he agreed, what would Bing Yu do? Although they don't have their parents' orders and don't have matchmakers, they really like each other. If Qing Xuan abandons the ice jade and marries a new love, won't he have to bear the charge of abandoning from the beginning? Oh no, he's not that kind of person!

Such a proposition put him in a dilemma, what can he do to fulfill both sides?

When Qingxuan was at a loss, Cheng Yanjin said: "Brother doesn't have to answer me now, you can think about it for a week, and after a week, you will tell me the answer." ”

This trip to bite Jin is really empathetic, but the more this is the case, the more difficult Qing Xuan feels that the choice is difficult.

Back at the inn, Qing Xuan wanted to tell Bing Yu about this, but he was afraid that Bing Yu would misunderstand, so he had been thinking and meditating, hoping for a solution that would have the best of both worlds. Bing Yu is worried that he can't learn the craft of furniture, and recently he saw that something was wrong with Qing Xuan, every time he talked to him, he couldn't gather his energy, and asked him something, and he replied that the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth. Bing Yu made a mistake in his heart, could it be that he had something to hide from her in his heart?

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the deadline given by Cheng Yanjin, and tomorrow, he had to tell Cheng Yanjin the answer, which made him very upset. Originally, it was agreed to go to Chengfu today to learn the method of shifting shapes and shadows, but Qingxuan didn't go, so he went to the tavern alone, asked for a jar of daughter red, and drank the wine silently.

Bingyu went to Changshou Village several times, but did not get a positive answer from Lu Cheng. Bingyu made up her mind, as long as Lu Cheng didn't agree for a day, she wouldn't give up for a day until he agreed. Although Lu Cheng received her warmly every time he went, and he was not as arrogant and rude as the first time, he kept silent about teaching carpentry experience.
