(059), Shanshui Academy
After everyone had finished freshening up, Li Shi had almost finished breakfast.
Breakfast is a very light elevated bean porridge, with a plate of pickles and a plate of fried vegetarian vegetables. Although the content of this breakfast is unusually simple, such a light vegetarian food can well nourish the organs of a night's sleep, and there is a slight internal fire in the internal organs, and the punishment style that often eats meat food feels more obvious about this.
After eating, the family left Li alone as usual, and the other four took a carriage to the county seat.
In the carriage, Mo Ye verbally asked Lin Shan to go to Shanshui Academy for the first time, and she also stated several reasons for coming up after careful consideration. To Mo Ye's delight, Lin Shan finally agreed to her request. However, Mo Ye didn't know that the master agreed to take her to Shanshui Academy for a walk, not because he was moved by her reasons, but because of the simplest reason - to go by the way.
When the carriage is about to arrive at the county seat, it turns around the downtown area, walks on the carriage and horse road in the east of the county, and then drives on the suburban road to the Shanshui Academy built on the mountain.
After arriving at the place, Ma An parked the car in the stable of the academy and went with Lin Shan to meet the dean. Xing Feng took Mo Ye for a casual walk in the academy, and at the same time introduced Mo Ye to some things that she had been thinking about since last night as she walked.
Along the way, Mo Ye found that Xingfeng's popularity in Shanshui Academy was not bad, and students often greeted Xingfeng. This academy does not have the somewhat rigid rules of the Lizheng Academy, but it allows many poor children like Xing Feng to find a sense of closeness and easy-going similar to that of a big family.
After a closer look, Mo Ye realized that the pattern of Shanshui Academy was really very different from that of Lizheng Academy. Closer to the unified point, the teaching layout of landscape and etiquette is almost the opposite, the text of the ceremony is the first martial arts supplement, and the landscape martial arts is the second of the main text.
Mo Ye had also heard of Lin Shan, but not long after entering the academy, seeing and feeling the layout of the Shanshui Academy, Mo Ye couldn't help but feel a little excited and shocked in his heart, and said secretly: No wonder Xing Feng has been here for more than a month, and the personality aura exuded by the whole person has changed greatly.
Under the guidance of the criminal wind, after walking through a corridor hidden among the green pines, she was greeted by a very large square. Mo Ye silently estimated that it should be five times the size of the martial arts hall of Lizheng Academy. After Xing Feng's explanation, Mo Ye knew that this was the center of Shanshui Academy, and it was also a place where students were taught and guided to practice martial arts every day.
This large square can accommodate all the students of the entire academy to practice martial arts at the same time, but the academy generally does not really ask all the students to stand up and practice, because if this square is full, the students in the second half of the academy will not be able to see the guidance of the teaching at all. This square allows single or single-level students to practice martial arts in different time periods, and is used to hold semi-monthly regular meetings of teachers and students and semi-annual competitions.
The two houses built on the east and west sides of this square are indoor martial arts fields, that is, places for students to practice martial arts when it rains. In addition to the main buildings in this area, Shanshui Academy also has a library and a library pavilion, but the library is not used as often as the Lizheng Academy every month, so it is not widely built. The library can only catch up with one-third of the collection of books in the library of Lizheng Academy, most of the books in the library are military strategy formations, there are very few books on poetry and songs, and books such as couplet poetry collection and miscellaneous notes are even rarer.
There was some information about Shanshui Academy that Master had told her one after another, and Mo Ye didn't feel very strange about these explanations of Xingfeng, but in her heart, these things were basically taken for granted. But she didn't know that if a person like Shanshui Academy, who taught martial arts with the name of the academy, if it was a person who had been mainly studying literature all the year round, and then suddenly turned to martial arts, he would not be surprised to know these things.
Mo Ye's attention was quickly attracted by a row of weapons neatly arranged on shelves under the eaves of a long house on the east side of the square. I saw that there were more than a dozen kinds of weapons such as knives, swords, sticks, guns, and hammers on that shelf, which were much richer than the furnishings in the small martial arts hall in my own academy. It was only when she took a closer look that she realized that the weapons were on the shelves, but they were stuck and locked by pieces of iron.
Mo Ye's hand casually pressed on the hilt of a sword, glanced at Xing Feng suspiciously, and listened to Xing Feng explain with a smile: "This row is all genuine, and it will only be opened by the teacher himself during specific exercises. β
Mo Ye looked around when he heard this, and found that in such a large square, there was really only such a weapon shelf. Presumably, this set of weapons is precious and dangerous because it is genuine, so most of the time it is just displayed here to create an atmosphere. There should be hundreds of them, stacked together like a small hill.
Mo Ye rubbed the hilt of a sword with his hand, feeling its cold metallic texture, and suddenly asked, "When is the time for a specific practice?" β
"For example, during the assessment." Xing Feng pondered for a moment and then added: "There are also the top three selected in the academy's half-year assessment, and when they are guided one-on-one by the teacher, they will use genuine weapons. β
"Oh......" Mo Ye unconsciously lengthened his voice, and after thinking about it, he said, "Is there one you like here?" β
Xing Feng looked at the weapon rack when he heard this, and was speechless for a while. I don't know what came to mind in my heart, a look of envy slowly appeared in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "I have only been here for a short time, and the teaching has asked me to practice basic kung fu first, so I haven't thought about this yet." β
"Practicing calligraphy should start with writing stroke by stroke, and martial arts training should also start from the most basic zama, my master is like this." Mo Ye smiled with encouragement in his eyes after finishing these words, and said: "Although we don't sit at the same table now, we can still work together, maybe in this county in the future, we will cooperate with each other and ride the wind and waves."
When Mo Ye arrived here, his eyes gradually showed a look of yearning.
At that time, will I be able to walk freely in the mountains and rivers, enjoy the wonders of the world, and no longer have to be at home? Now she has limited knowledge and has no worries about food and clothing, but she lives a homely life all the year round in her childhood with the most active personality, so she is most likely to fantasize about such a leisurely life.
Mo Ye took care of his fantasies and didn't notice that Xing Feng fell into contemplation at this time, and the reason for Xing Feng's contemplation was what Lin Shan said to him when he closed the door with a somewhat cold gaze half a year ago.
Just as Mo Ye was pondering with Shen Feng, a cough from not far away interrupted the two of them's thoughts. Mo Ye turned his face slightly, and saw the master walking slowly with an old man with a beard under his lips.
The old man was a little thin and tall, and although he looked to be over fifty years old, he showed no sign of a hunched back and was still straight, and he wore an ordinary cloth shirt with a kind of spirit. There are not many age spots on his face, and his skin can still reveal a luster that reflects the vitality of his body, and his eyes are clear. Even if such a person doesn't speak, he can already make people feel a subtle aura - like a fairy character.
Mo Yezheng was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Xingfeng worship in his ears: "Disciple to see the dean." She hurriedly bent down seriously, and said respectfully: "Lizheng Tongsheng Mo Ye, meet the dean." β
The old man didn't have any clichΓ©s, raised his right hand slightly, and calmly accepted the bow of the two juniors. When Mo Ye and Xing Feng Li stood up straight, his gaze stayed on Mo Ye for a moment, and then he said to Lin Shan beside him: "She is your apprentice?" β
Lin Shan smiled and nodded.
The old man also bowed his head to show that he understood, and then turned to Xing Feng and said, "Xing Feng, I already know about you." If you encounter such a thing in the future, you can leave without beating until you leave the academy. β
He actually meant two things. On the one hand, it is a reminder not to cause trouble to the academy, and on the other hand, it is a hint that before he graduates from the Shanshui Academy, many people he will not be able to conquer by force, but if he can get the formal assessment of the Shanshui Academy and approve the completion, this prediction may show a subversive result.
But the old man seemed to be stingy to explain in such detail, and after finishing this sentence, he said goodbye to Lin Shan, leaving Mo Ye and Xing Feng empty, one stunned and the other stunned.
After the old man left, Lin Shan said to Mo Ye, "Ye'er, we should go back." β
"So fast?" Mo Ye's eyes showed a look of reluctance, but he still obediently ran to Lin Shan's side.
"How long are you going to play? You and I still have classes today. Lin Shan naturally reached out and gently rubbed Mo Ye's head, hesitated for a moment and then said, "I know that you have been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time, but today is not the right time." When Master finds a suitable time, he will take you on another tour of the landscape. β
Mo Ye's expression was sluggish when she heard this, and when she finished digesting Lin Shansuo's words in her heart, she couldn't help but exclaim excitedly: "That's really good!" Master, your words count! β
Lin Shan smiled and nodded, "Okay, you go to the carriage and wait first, I still have something to tell Xing Feng." β
"Okay."
Seeing Mo Ye leave, Lin Shan brushed his sleeves and approached Xing Feng's side. Stretching out his hand to stroke the row of weapons, feeling the slight cool feeling of the metallic texture, Lin Shan pondered for a while and said casually: "Before the foundation is laid, there is no need to be in a hurry to choose what weapons. Although there are many types of weapons, in fact, there are also large factions, such as long weapons and short weapons, and there are commonalities between them. β
"The four types of sticks, guns, spears, and halberds are all part of the long weapon series, and it is easier to start learning from the basics, and it is easier to get started with sticks than to directly scoop the seiko halberd to practice moves." After a deep sigh, Lin Shan said again: "However, after talking for such a big time, the first thing you need to pay attention to at present is basic kung fu, whether it is fist and foot kung fu or the use of weapons, if the lower coil is unstable, you will naturally not be able to exert your strength in your hands, you need to calm down and remember." β
Xing Feng nodded sincerely, but while he was listening carefully and analyzing Lin Shan's words, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, the kid is curious and doesn't understand."
