(Volume 1) Chapter 10 Martial Arts
Mu Qinghan had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's not go back, let's go to my uncle's house." "Because thinking of last night's conversation, maybe Meng Zhichu had a better impression of his grandfather's house. It was this sentence that made Meng Zhichu settle down, and Mu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief with this on his back. When I thought of reading again, I immediately thought of Shangli Academy. If Tang Mingyin got out of trouble last night, he would definitely go back to the academy, and Xiaowei might also be there.
So, with years of understanding of Xiyue City, he walked through the sheep intestine trail and walked the unmanned streets and alleys. After walking for half an hour, I finally arrived at Shangli Academy.
It was the stunned student who came to open the door, but he was not surprised at all when he saw Mu Qinghan, and said, "Mr. Tang is already waiting for you inside, Brother Mu." ”
After hearing this, Mu Qinghan was able to settle down. Thinking that he was out of trouble yesterday, at this time, in addition to wanting to see Xiaowei immediately, he just wanted to put down the girl on his back. Although this girl has a slender waist and thin legs, there is a lot of fat places, and with this drunken appearance, it is really a little heavy to carry it for an hour.
After saying that he was tired, he carried Meng Zhichu into the academy. Tang Mingyin had been waiting here for a long time, and after he rescued Su Mingxi and Gu Xiaowei yesterday, he returned directly to the academy. After that, he went to look for them near Wangyun Tower, and only after the conversation of the guards did he know that the two had escaped, and you also knew that they were coming to the academy, so they let the students wait at the door early.
Gu Xiaowei saw that her brother was even more rushed over and wanted to give a big hug, but unfortunately she saw that the Meng girl on her brother's back retreated. Everyone was puzzled by this, Mu Qinghan only said that it was a long story, and also said: "Come and help." It made Tang Mingyin cry and laugh.
Hearing the movement outside, Su Mingxi also walked into the courtyard. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly sent Meng Zhichu into the wing room with the students who were helping together. After hearing Mu Qinghan say that he had eaten sake lees, he relieved himself and went to the kitchen to prepare an antidote.
Mu Qinghan said everything he had seen and heard on Wangyun Tower after separating from Tang Mingyin, and Tang Mingyin was also amazed when he listened to it. But when he heard the section on the secret room on the roof, he asked, "The secret room?" Do you say that the midnight moonlight can be used as the key to open the door and regenerate a floor on the Wangyun Tower? ”
Mu Qinghan replied affirmatively, Tang Mingyin touched his beard again, and asked Mu Qinghan to continue. Chen Huance saw that the two of them did not stop, so he asked the servants of the academy to call some rice soup and spring cakes and the like, and he heard from his words that Mu Qinghan had not eaten food since a meal yesterday morning, and it was also hard, so he asked for some food to satisfy his hunger.
Tang Mingyin also told him about what happened later. It turned out that after Tang Mingyin went downstairs, he fought with the guards for a few more battles. Later, he took the sabers of the guards, ran back to the room where the wall had been burned, and cut the blankets of the fire cloth into the city one by one, and tied them into ropes. tied the second daughter to his body, and escaped with ropes and light exercises.
"Huh? We're outside Wangyun Tower, didn't you say that you can't bring people with light work? And you don't bring a man! Mu Qinghan seemed to know something.
Then Tang Mingyin's rhetorical question was ushered in: "Can up and down be the same?" Can you carry you the same weight as a young man and a little girl? Even if it's the same, can you feel the same on your back? ”
Mu Qinghan was treated by these three "Can it be the same?" The one who asked was stunned, but he couldn't refute it for a while, and sighed that this person was really the real world. Such words are conclusive and brazen, and indeed worthy of admiration.
Thinking of this, he no longer felt guilty about the snacks sent by Chen Huance. I picked up the spring cakes and stuffed them into my mouth, I was so hungry that I even drank seven or eight bowls of rice porridge. Tang Mingyin looked at it with interest. Thinking that he was still hungry and faint in front of his store the day before yesterday, today it was his turn to be helped by himself, and it was really feng shui in turn.
Tang Mingyin said: "I went out this morning to take a look, the city gates are all strictly forbidden, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get out for a while." You can stay with me with Xiaowei for the past few days, and it's not too late to leave when the limelight passes. ”
Mu Qinghan thought that although he had the grace to save his life with Tang Mingyin, he had been back and forth many times, and the kindness had already been repaid. If I bother again, I'm afraid that my face will be ugly, and Tang Mingyin will also defect here. Now that the hall chief is not there, let Tang Mingyin take him in without authorization, and he is even more reluctant to go. The most important thing is that he left home yesterday afternoon, and although he asked Li Liuliu to tell his family that he would visit the city, he never greeted his family, for fear that he would be late and cause his family to worry.
He told Tang Mingyin all these things one by one, but Tang Mingyin said: "At this moment, it is difficult for you to go out, and besides, yesterday's incident, do you still think that I took refuge and ran here?" ”
This statement really reminded Mu Qinghan, yes, yesterday Su Mingxi called him General Tang, and his martial arts were so strong. By no means an ordinary refugee, and he was yesterday; When he came to this school, Chen Huance saw that he was respectful and did not slack off at all. If a little-known person like Mu Qinghan goes to his relatives and friends, most of them will be looked down upon. But he can't help but be arrogant, but he can carry out orders.
Tang Mingyin continued: "Although I came here without anything, I was appointed by my mentor and came to be a manager. To put it more closely, this academy also has a share capital of my family, so you can rest assured that you will live here permanently. ”
At this time, Chen Huangce, who had just come in, also accosted: "Indeed, don't say that you are a friend of Mingyin, just by virtue of the encounter in Wangyunlou yesterday, you are also my friend of Chongyi Academy." ”
Seeing that the host's family is so gracious, and it is indeed difficult to get out of the city at the moment, it should be accepted. Tang Mingyin quipped, so that he could eat Xiaowei's cooking for a few more days. Seriously, the day before yesterday at the inn, he said that Xiaowei's craftsmanship has nothing to say, and he is not inferior to the master of Luoyang Mingyue Building. At this moment, I said this again, and strongly recommended it to Chen Huance. Chen Huance bowed slightly, smiled but did not speak.
Mu Qinghan thought that what you were eating that day was just ordinary porridge and side dishes, and the only bit of meat was the skinny skinny chicken. Although Xiaowei's craftsmanship is indeed not bad, compared to your praise, it is also because of hunger.
But thinking of this, Mu Qinghan was suspicious. How could Tang Mingyin faint from starvation at the door of his house with such talent. I wanted to ask euphemistically: "Big brother was famous for his martial arts yesterday, but he was hungry like that the day before yesterday?" But this is really not a tact.
Tang Mingyin said with a smile: "When I went south, there were many mountain bandits, and they always had some martial arts, but after all, two fists were hard to beat with four hands. Although you have escaped with this ability, you have no long things because of this, and you are exhausted by the pursuers and the lack of horses to you. ”
Mu Qinghan said, Brother Tang, your martial arts are so powerful, will you be hunted down like that? Tang Mingyin said with a smile: "No matter how good the martial arts are, it is the courage of the horseman." Mu Qinghan said that if he knew martial arts, he would not be so embarrassed these days.
As soon as Tang Mingyin heard this, he said: "That's easy to do, it's okay to do it in the past few days, I'll teach you some beginners, I can see that you have a good foundation and good qualifications." It must be faster to learn. The album I gave you last time, I didn't have time to practice in the past two days, so I might as well teach you personally. ”
At this time, Gu Xiaowei came in with a tea tray, put a cup of tea in front of Tang Mingyin, and handed a cup to his brother, "Then Brother Tang must teach him well, don't hide his secrets." After speaking, he handed Chen Huance another glass.
Tang Mingyin laughed: "There is Xiaowei sister's meal, how can the eldest brother hide his secrets, just like that, wait for Dr. Su to adjust the antidote, and bother Xiaowei sister to help us make a lunch, and start practicing after the meal." ”
Hearing him begging for food like this, everyone laughed, and even Chen Huance, who had always been unsmiling, touched his beard and smiled slightly.
Xiaowei said: "Big brother, there is absolutely no problem with cooking, but if my brother can't learn it, then I won't show the skills of housekeeping." ”
Tang Mingyin looked at it, oh, few people have bargained with him over the years, nodded with a smile, and didn't say much, just felt that this little girl was that kind of powerful girl.
After Xiaowei left the room, he pulled Mu Qinghan over, and said in his ear: "You little daughter-in-law is okay, I'm afraid that you will not be able to revitalize your husband in the future." Today you carried such a girl who was so captivating, I'm afraid you will inevitably be nagged tonight. ”
Mu Qinghan flatly denied it, what kind of daughter-in-law, that is, sister, what do you think about watching her grow up since she was a child? Tang Mingyin asked a few more times, but Mu Qinghan rejected it.
Tang Mingyin picked up the tea and blew it slightly: "If you don't have it, I'm afraid that others will have it." ”
Mu Qinghan said, eldest brother, you are too worried, although he and Gu Xiaowei are not related by blood, they also have family affection, and they will never exceed the rules. I have long wanted to leave the southern tour and see the vast world of the Central Plains.
Tang Mingyin looked at him thoughtfully, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.
The academy here is happy, but the Southern Tour Palace is not so sunny, although it is noon, but the dormitory of Chun Yu Xianzhong is a little eerie. Although the King of the Southern Tour was not as draped as last night, his royal robe was really too big, and he still looked disheveled when he stood there.
Yang Nanpu reported to him: "The city defense battalion has taken control of the whole city, and no one will be released." In addition, the minister went to the city defense camp today and heard other news. ”
Chun Yu Xianzhong raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
"Those mountain bandits in Kitten Mountain were served in a pot."
Chun Yu Xianzhong put down the scroll in his hand: "Who killed it?" ”
"I don't know, it was empty when I sent people this morning, and on a road into the mountain, dozens of bandit corpses were found."
Chun Yu Xianzhong said: "If you kill it, you can suppress it, and you don't expect them to supply Wangyunlou all the way." Now there is still half a month before the New Year, and before the 16th of the first month, if you can't finish the errand, you can do it yourself. ”
When the king was really not angry and arrogant, a few words of understatement made this battle-hardened general a little hairy. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard again: "Where is Tang Mingyin, what happened?" ”
When Yang Nanpu heard this, he was not looking for himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief. The purple-clothed national teacher said: "The specific whereabouts have not been found, but it should be near the department store." ”
"Check it on!" Chun Yu Xianzhong said again: "After last night, what has changed in the secret room? ”
The national teacher said: "Except for an iron tire bow in the collection of the former king, it was taken to the third floor, and there is nothing else. After all, the most important thing has not yet been placed. ”
Chun Yu Xianzhong turned his back to him, stretched a big lazy waist, said a long "oops", and said: "That bow is worth a lot of silver, the general Fengmian under the command of Emperor Yunwu, is holding this bow, ten arrows in Qishui, and ten horses ask Shuzhou." It is said that Mu Junyi, the marshal of the royal capital of Hengzhou, also used this bow, and that was the first general in Kyushu. My brother loved this bow back then, and it was strange for you to say that he was a civil official, and he liked this weapon. ”
Then he turned around, and the sun shone through the window, shining on his delicate face. Looking at the purple-clothed national teacher's gaze, the king's eyes were very cold.
Just listen to him say, "But what's important shouldn't be called a thing!" The last few words were so heavy that everyone in the dormitory knelt down except him.
Mu Qinghan also knelt down, he knelt down not because of Chun Yu Xianzhong's obscenity. Rather, it is a place where martial arts are taught at Shangli Academy, and there are only kneeling cushions and no benches and chairs. But to be honest, it is an unusual thing in a college to have a place where martial arts are taught.
However, Chen Huance was very upbeat about this, saying that this academy was a way to pay tribute to the teaching of the sages of the ancient countries. In addition to the traditional classics, used to take the imperial examination, there are calligraphy, music, archery, horseback riding, swordsmanship, the art of war, and strategy.
"You still learn how to ride a horse at this point?" Mu Qinghan obviously felt that it was impossible when he heard it.
Chen Huance said: "Liao Daguan opened a place in the east of the city as a horse farm, which is usually used as a place for the nobles of Xiyue City to run horses and gamble money. The yamen didn't care much. ”
Tang Mingyin was in front of him, opening a picture, wearing this academy clothes, if it weren't for the beautiful face and hair, who would have seen that he was a general. The appearance of the tone is not inferior to those students who study hard in Luoyang Taixue.
Let's talk about this picture, a person is drawn on it, and one hundred and eight acupuncture points are marked. I heard Mr. Tang say: "Martial arts, fundamentally speaking, is about qi, body, and strength. As far as you are concerned, the body is derived from the maintenance of the whole body and ordinary exercise, and there is no problem with your strong physique. In this item, you have reached the realm of perfection over the years, and it can be said that the basic skills are excellent, and there is no problem. The important thing is this qi.
The so-called internal strength, or internal force, is actually qi. Incarnate the power inside and outside the body, and borrow the powerful power of qi. If you want your martial arts moves to be more powerful, internal force is essential. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to this picture: "There are many acupuncture points around the human body, and one hundred and eight of them can be used as qi chambers. ”
Mu Qinghan was puzzled after hearing this, after all, many new words had never been heard at all. Then he asked what is an air chamber?
Tang Mingyin said: "The so-called gas chamber is the place where qi is nourished and gathered. The qi in the body is gathered on an acupuncture point and maintained for a long time, which is called the qi chamber. The first air chamber of all people is a dantian. Therefore, to absorb and gather qi, we must first sink into the dantian. When you have successfully gathered the first group of True Qi within your dantian, then congratulations, you have become a Qi Gathering Rank Martial Artist.
Although Qi Gathering Rank Martial Artists cannot use internal force, because of the Qi Shen Dantian, their strength and speed will be greatly improved, their breath will become more stable, and their endurance will be stronger. And the Qi Gathering Level seems simple, but in fact, it is not easy to practice, and there are many people who have to spend years and months on optical Qi gathering. ”
"Then when can you use internal forces?" Mu Qinghan then asked.
"When your dantian gathers qi, the true qi you gather generally has two attributes, warm and cold. The true qi attribute within each person's dantian is determined by the physique and cannot be changed. With the improvement of Qi Gathering and cultivation, you can open up other acupuncture points to make new qi chambers, and then gather new true qi in them, and the attributes of different qi chambers may be different.
When you open up the nine acupuncture points, there are nine balls of true qi in your body, and then you try to follow the meridians in the same direction between the open qi chambers. When you have become accustomed to this movement of the whole body, and have the nine qi in the movement of the breath, this is the internal force. You can use it as a perimeter defense, or you can use martial arts to unleash it. At this time, you are a Martial Artist of the Transformation Rank.
Moreover, the true qi attributes in the nine qi chambers are different, and different numbers of cold and warm combinations will train different attribute internal forces. And the different attributes of internal forces are applicable to different martial arts. ”
Mu Qinghan was stunned when he heard it, and Tang Mingyin said at a glance: "Forget it, it's not good for you to tell you too much, let's start with the first acupoint recognition, and then teach you the nakin and moves." ”
And during the period of learning the basic theory of martial artists in the afternoon, the girls were not idle, because Su Mingxi saw that Meng Zhichu was not awake left and right, and the antidote could not be fed, so she had to invite Gu Xiaowei to help.
She asked Gu Xiaowei to untie Meng Zhichu's Uesugi and loosen the neckline, and helped her help Meng Zhichu up on the bed, straighten up, and feed the soup that had been boiled before with a spoon little by little.
"It's finally fed." Su Mingxi picked up the hot towel prepared on the side and wiped the medicinal juice from the corner of Meng Zhichu's mouth, and then relieved himself. He said to Xiaowei again, "Thank you." ”
Gu Xiaowei replied without thanks, thinking that the two of them also had some friendship with Wangyunlou, so they could say something. Looking at Miss Meng who was carried back by her brother, Xiaowei asked: "I heard Brother Meng say that Sister Meng has eaten the sake lees fruit of the Medicine Island, I heard him say this, it is the same as getting drunk, I used to see other people eat by mistake, and it will be fine for half a day at most." Now that half a day has passed, why haven't you woken up at all, is this sister in some bad health? ”
Su Mingxi adjusted the ointment on his hand and used bamboo slices to mix well in the small urn. said: "Xiao Chu's health is not bad, she traveled the world when she was a child, and learned a good body from her mother. Now he is a martial artist of the Qi Gathering Level, and his physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary boys. As he spoke, Su Mingxi smiled and scooped up the urn of Chinese medicine ointment, rubbed it on the small plate and said, "Come to think of it, first, she has eaten too much." Second, this sake lees fruit seems to be drunk when eaten, but it is actually caused by inhaling other medicinal herbs when it is growing. The people of the Southern Patrol have the habit of eating medicinal food, and these trace amounts of toxins can be cured by themselves, but for outsiders, they need to use medicinal stones. ”
Gu Xiaowei let out an "oh", Su Mingxi looked at her little daughter's posture, and the corners of her mouth rose and smiled slightly.
