Chapter 231: Sword Master

It was another morning reading finish, and everyone sat together and finished breakfast. I thought I was reading again in the morning. How do you know that Zhao Li did take them outside.

"Ziming, are you going to take us to see your academy?" Second brother Kong Long said curiously.

"No, I'll take you to a park, I made an appointment with a kendo master, and we're going to learn swordsmanship this winter vacation." Zhao Li shook his head and said.

From the time he got the Confucian classics, he planned to organize everyone to learn Confucian swordsmanship, otherwise everyone would be helpless. And he is about to reach the Great Confucian, and he likes the Sword Sutra that can be practiced in the realm of Great Confucianism. This sword scripture needs to be cultivated before the sword intent can be cultivated. It's time to start learning kendo in advance.

"Learn the sword, isn't it, then we have to go back and change our clothes!"

"yes, why do you suddenly want to learn swords!"

Everyone was stunned by Zhao Li's proposal.

"It's not all of a sudden, Confucian swordsmanship and practice complement each other, and practicing sword moves is good for you. You are only learning the basic sword moves now, and you need to go back to learn the Confucian swordsmanship later! Today is just the beginning, and the teacher is only talking about theoretical knowledge. Zhao Li said with a smile.

"So that's the case," everyone understood what Zhao Li meant.

Along the way, he followed Zhao Li into Xiangshan Park. In the silence of the woods, an old man in a white practice uniform was already waiting.

"Master Xiang, I'm sorry! Keeping you waiting! Zhao Li hurriedly walked forward in a few steps, clasping his fists with both hands.

This Master Xiang still knew him when he was studying in the park before. At that time, he was studying, and Master Xiang was practicing swords on the side, and the two cooperated very tacitly. After a long time, the two also chatted from time to time.

"Haha, Zhao Li, you are still so polite, isn't it not yet our agreed time," Master Xiang smiled. He also looked at the ten people behind Zhao Li. couldn't help frowning and said:

"Are they the ones who are going to learn the sword this time?"

Although he promised to help Zhao Li bring a group of people. But I didn't expect that there were still elderly people in this group of people. He's not a leisure center for the elderly.

As if seeing the other party's expression, Zhao Licai smiled and said: "Come, to the master, let me introduce you, this is my master Kong Lao, and this is Zhang Lao." The others are my eldest brother and brother. ”

After speaking, he said to his master: "Master! This is Master Xiang, the swordsman of our Zhou City! ”

"It turned out to be Master Xiang, the Confucian Confucian Mansion is going to trouble Master Xiang this time to learn the sword!" Kong Lao also said hello.

"It turns out that you are all Confucian disciples, what kind of swordsmanship master, don't listen to Zhao Li's nonsense, I used to feel that I still deserved this title, but now that your hundred martial arts are all in the world, the sword I have practiced for decades can only be used to chop wood!" Wave your hand to the master.

"Haha, I'm polite to the master, like you, you can practice the basic swordsmanship out of the artistic conception. I don't think there are many people in Huaxia, and even if we announce martial arts, someone like you has such a deep foundation, it can be said that you are already a few steps ahead of ordinary people! We Confucians also have martial arts, so if you want to learn them, just talk to me. Zhao Li laughed.

This master Xiang has practiced the basic swordsmanship for decades, although the swordsmanship has only come and gone with only a few moves, but Zhao Li does feel extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically invited him to teach basic swordsmanship.

"Okay, I'm just going to find a martial arts from a hundred schools to practice." Master Xiang readily agreed: "It's not too early, let's start!" ”

After speaking, Master Xiang didn't care what everyone thought. Carrying a sword, he said seriously.

"First of all, tell me what a sword is, of course, this is just my personal rough opinion, Huaxia has been a hundred kinds of strange soldiers since ancient times, and each weapon has its own character, such as a sword, and the sword may have a different character in the hands of different people. For example, in the hands of the king, there will be the spirit of the emperor, and in the hands of the scholars, there will be the spirit of the gentleman,...... But no matter who is in the hands, there will be no domineering sword! Therefore, what you will learn in the end depends on the individual. Master Xiang paused for a moment and saw that everyone was attracted to him before he continued.

"The first thing to talk about when learning a sword is a word of sincerity. This is the same as what you Confucianism calls reading. Only sincerity will be rewarded. Otherwise, you won't be able to learn the essence of sword learning, and you will only learn a few sword moves at most. I have only learned nine basic sword moves for more than 30 years, but I feel that I am not fully proficient in these nine basic sword moves. Thorn, sharpen, tease, hang, cloud, point, collapse, cut, cut. All sword moves in the world are made up of these nine basic sword techniques. Master Xiang said as he demonstrated.

Not to mention, even Zhao Li, a group of people who don't understand swords, also feels that Master Xiang's sword has a charm. This is the same as reading ancient books, which has a special charm. Seeing this, the original few half-hearted people also became serious. Everyone is a person who knows the goods, and the swordsmanship with charm is about to enter the door of kendo.

"Don't look at these simple tricks, the road is simple, and you can find out the mystery from simple things is the real master, let's just say this thorn, a simple thorn, related to the direction, air, and body coordination. How to make this thorn feel is to go through countless exercises. ”

"Okay, what a sword nature, sword reason, that's too good!" Zhao Li couldn't help but praise loudly.

Master Xiang's way of the sword is really a bit similar to his own Confucian way of reading, both of which are to find wisdom from simplicity. Hearing this, Zhao Li felt a little impatient to learn.

"Ah, do you all understand?" Master Xiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

was suddenly interrupted by Zhao Li, and was still a little angry, but after looking at everyone's expressions, they seemed to be a little excited, did they all understand.

"Understood, it's really good to tell the master!"

"yes, that makes sense!" Everyone said excitedly.

"Ah, no, you get it all?" Master Xiang was stunned when he heard this. What kind of people are this group, if you want to say that you haven't taught your apprentices, you have taught the same, but those apprentices only learned sword moves in the end, and they didn't pay attention to these sword theories and sword nature.

"Hehe, Master Xiang! We really didn't lie to you about this, your way of the sword is very similar to our Confucian way of reading, we can learn the way of reading Confucianism, and it's not surprising that we can understand the way of the sword! Zhao Li explained.

"Ah, so that's the case, it seems that the legend is true, if the Confucian Confucian Confucianism goes to learn something else, the progress is very fast, I didn't believe it before, but now it's finally insightful!" Xiang Shi sighed: "Okay, since you have this wisdom, then let's move on......"

The theory of Master Xiang's sword was talked about until noon, and then it stopped when everyone was still unsatisfied. After the nine basic sword moves in one morning, everyone couldn't help but be eager to try, which was like reading a book, and finding a little feeling that made my heart itch.

"Okay, that's all for today, tomorrow morning we will start learning sword moves, everyone will change their practice clothes tomorrow, I will bring the sword to everyone!" Master Xiang also said cheerfully.

Seriously, there has never been a time when teaching has made him so relaxed and so excited. In the past, every time I talked about the principle of the sword, those students wanted to fall asleep one by one. And this group of students did listen to it one by one, and he himself was also cheerful.

"Then thank you Master Xiang," Zhao Li and a group of people all made a big salute.

"Ah, don't, don't be so polite!" Master Xiang was taken aback. Not to mention that Zhao Li gave money, even if this Kong Lao is much older than him, he can't afford it.

"Master Xiang, this is how it should be, we Confucian ancient sages can learn from the old farmer, you taught us the way of the sword, we should do a salute!" Kong Lao smiled.

At this time, he really felt that what the ancient sages said was too reasonable, and there must be my teacher in the threesome. Only by traveling more roads and learning more knowledge can we accumulate little by little, and the wisdom of Confucianism is hidden in these ordinary things.

After bidding farewell to the master, Zhao Li and his entourage walked home excitedly.

"Ziming, you have arranged the right thing about learning the sword this time, in the future, you will arrange more of this kind of learning, three hundred and sixty lines, can we try each line, combined with today's sword theory, I found that my reading will take a big step!" Kong Lao said as he walked aisle.

"Hehe, master, I think so, but it's not easy to find a good master like Master Xiang, modern people are too boring, but they don't have the heart to sink down and think about these truths." Zhao Lidao. (To be continued......)
