Chapter 42: Xu Qing's thoughts
Then, after Goguryeo was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, he refused to be a Tang dynasty and fled to Silla, a martial arts master who was hired by the Silla king Kim Famin, Li Ao, challenged Xu Qing. Li Ao is handsome, in his fifties, and he looks like he is thirty years old, his long hair and white clothes are windless and automatic under the agitation of true qi, and he has the taste of fairy wind bones. His temples were not bulging high, and he had obviously practiced to the level of "essence restraint", at least in the state of an acquired great master.
Xu Qingchao shouted to Li Mingyue, who was sitting in the front row of the audience: "Yue'er, come here." Li Mingyue ran to Xu Qing's side. Everyone was envious of Xu Qing's Yanfu. Mei Kaifang felt sad, the more noble and beautiful the beauties around Xu Qing, the less hope she had of getting Xu Qing's forgiveness. Xu Qing handed the sword to Li Mingyue and said, "Yue'er, you can help me get the sword." Li Mingyue said: "Okay." "Get back to your seat.
Li Ao's face changed in anger. Xu Qing explained: "I take your sword with a pair of fleshy palms, not to despise you, but to value you. Because the time I spent practicing swords was less than one-tenth of the time I spent practicing my palms, and my swordsmanship was far less proficient than my palms. ”
Li Ao's face softened and said, "I see." He hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Master Xu, please advise." ”
Xu Qing returned the salute and said, "Look at the move." "As soon as he made a move, he was a martial arts master, and his moves were extremely proficient, as if he had practiced for decades, but in fact, Xu Qing had only practiced for a year. Li Ao was taken aback, he didn't expect Xu Qing to not only know the martial arts of the Tianshan faction, but also the martial arts of the Snow Mountain faction, and make it so good! These two factions are both the top sects of the Tang Dynasty martial arts.
When Li Ao was young, he traveled around the Tang Dynasty, visited the martial arts masters of the Tang Dynasty, and knew the strength of the martial arts of the Tianshan Mountains and the Snow Mountains.
The audience was full of Xu Qing's figure, and Xu Qing's palms conjured up tens of millions of palms, which fluttered like heavy snow, and the momentum was continuous. His attacks seem to be endless, and he will not stop until he destroys the enemy.
Li Ao is a famous martial arts master in the former Goguryeo, his swordsmanship and internal skills have reached the realm of a grandmaster, but light skills are not his strong point, in view of his light skills are not as good as his opponents, he responds to all changes with the same, his body is basically immovable, and a sword turns into a thousand swords and thousands of swords, facing Xu Qing.
In the blink of an eye, the thirty-two moves of the "Snow Mountain Palm Technique" were completed, and Xu Qing no longer fought all over the field, and cast the "Twelve Tricks of the Snow Mountain Palm Technique". Li Ao changed his defense to offense, and attacked with Xu Qing. The two strong compete for the brave to win, and no one dares to lose to the opponent in momentum. "The snow-capped mountains are chaotic and charming, fluttering and sprinkling the horses' hooves. Walking in the snow to find the beauty of the plum blossom, only the clothes ...... in the vast cold day" Xu Qing's palm shadow is like a mountain, Li Ao's sword is full of light, the two will fight in the sky and on the ground, the fight is very exciting, attracting applause from the audience.
The twelve tricks of the Snow Mountain Palm Method were completed in a blink of an eye, and Xu Qing used the "Tianshan Palm Method" still unable to win, and finally resorted to the "Inner Family Taijiquan" that was not lightly used, which was unusual, and overcame rigidity with softness. After several actual battles, Xu Qing made improvements to the "Inner Family Taijiquan", further highlighting the word "Inner Family", not only paying attention to "sticky", "following the trend", and "dialing a thousand catties in four or two" in the moves, but also sending out volleys of internal force in the internal strength, producing or pushing or pulling or pulling force, further amplifying and strengthening the effect of "sticky", so that Li Ao was very uncomfortable, and the body shape and footwork were disrupted, and the moves were thus disrupted, so that Li Ao was defeated. Li Ao withdrew gloomily.
Next, a warrior with a wooden expression and a rather tall figure in the Khitan mission appeared, he was Xiao Xin, the deputy captain of the Khitan leader's guard, the second master of the Khitan, and the trump card in the hands of Yelu Biza, who would not shoot at the critical moment!
Xiao Xin's skills are profound, his light skills are superb, and his martial arts are varied, so he can't tell which sect he is, and he also uses palm techniques.
Xu Qing was aroused, and Xiao Xin exchanged Bo with Bo, almost using the palms of all the major sects of martial arts in the current and future generations, but it was not a complete palm, and the palms of each sect were changed to a set of palms in less than ten moves.
The two played inextricably, fiercely and excitingly, once again attracting bursts of applause from the audience. The beautiful girls led by Li Mingyue shouted loudly for Xu Qing, screaming as hard as they could.
After a hundred moves, Xu Qing tried a new way of playing, raised his skill to seventy, volleyed out the "True Qi Wall" and crashed into Xiao Xin, blocking Xiao Xin's offensive, and then raising his skill to eighty percent, the true qi was like a substance, pushing to Xiao Xin like a wall, a small amount of true qi drilled into Xiao Xin's body, interfering with the operation of Xiao Xin's true qi in his body, if Xiao Xin's skill was much weaker than Xu Qing, his true qi would stop running, and he would be fixed on the spot, like being pointed at the acupoint. However, Xiao Xin's skill was only slightly weaker than Xu Qing's, he just felt as uncomfortable as if he had been pressed on a boulder, and he even felt difficult to breathe. Xiao Xin was startled, hurriedly retreated, and accidentally went out of the carpet boundary. The referee struck a gong and announced that Xu Qing had won.
When Xu Qing pushed the martial arts competition to the first place, King Yan announced that the martial arts competition would be suspended and would continue tomorrow, and the celebration would enter the second item: large-scale music and dance performances.
This performance is an unprecedented performance, there are more than 100 professional dancers who participate in the performance, as well as a hundred palace maids who are temporarily trained, as many as 60 musicians who participate in the performance, various orchestral instruments such as pianos, pipas, sheng flutes, and percussion instruments such as gongs, drums, chimes, cymbals and antique chimes are intertwined together, forming a magnificent and beautiful picture, 200 beautiful palace girls perform the palace dance of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty with neat movements in the melodious music, bringing people into the wonderful realm of doubt. It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and no matter how beautiful the music and dance are, there will be a time when the song is over.
The celebration then moved on to the third event: the three thousand Yan Wang Bujun guards collectively performed Shaolin boxing. As one of King Yan's pro-army, the infantry guards are elite soldiers selected from the 100,000 Fan Yang army, and the 3,000 infantry guards who participated in the exercise are all in good spirits, and they exist in the same way as King Yan and the five clans to raise the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in front of them. The guards of the 3,000-foot army were lined up in arrays, rows and rows, and the columns were neatly like the lines on a chessboard. The movements of the three thousand people were uniform, as if they were sent by one person, and each style made a shout, the sound was like thunder, like a landslide, and there was a tendency for the sky to collapse and the earth to crack.
Such a prosperous military appearance made the envoys of the five countries change color, on the contrary, King Yan had a smile on his face. The planners of the celebration are really not simple-minded, and the music and dance performance is followed by the Shaolin boxing performance, one soft and one rigid, forming a sharp contrast, which can give people a stronger feeling.
This is followed by dragon and lion dance performances. Yan Wangfu, Fan Yang Army, Southeast and Northwest Four Guards and the Feiyun Dart Bureau on behalf of the people each have a dragon dance team, and the lion dance is also produced by Yan Wangfu, Fan Yang Army Quartet Guards and Feiyun Dart Bureau, a total of 30, symbolizing the 30th birthday of "Concubine Zhen". The members of both the dragon and lion dance teams are carefully selected and skillful, so flying dragons and lions appear on the school field. At first, the dragon dance and lion dance were carried out separately, with four dragons performing a pearl grabbing performance on the east side, and 30 lions performing a group of lions playing beads on the west side.
The dragon dance and lion dance are equally dazzling, I don't know whether to watch the dragon dance or the lion dance, the specially made huge painted wooden beads fly around in the air, attracting the dragon, the lion to compete endlessly, see the highlights, the audience has stood up from the stands, applauded.
By the end of the dragon and lion dance, it was already dark, but the result was not surprising, and the winning team of the dragon and lion dance was out of the Yanwang Mansion. King Yan's guards were ordered to light torches and illuminate the night sky as bright as day. Twenty-four young girls, dressed in colorful clothes and holding flower baskets, rolled on the stage like opera performers performing somersaults, which immediately won the applause of the audience. They are a special team composed of the sisters of the Mei family and the daughters of the generals in the army, and everyone has good light skills. The program they performed was called "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers". These daughters and ladies each relied on their internal forces to scatter the petals in the basket into the air, creating a beautiful landscape of "falling from the sky", which is very beautiful.
The "Celestial Maiden Scattered Flowers" show is followed by a large-scale fireworks display. Colorful and colorful fireworks rise and go out in the night sky, and when a hundred or a thousand fireworks bombs burst into the night sky at the same time, the spectacle and beauty are beyond the reach of outsiders. The whole audience was thrilled by this spectacular scene, and the excitement was inexplicable. Only Xu Qing was the exception, he thought silently: "I don't know when I can have such a scenery, let thousands of fireworks be launched for me, and let thousands of people rejoice for me." Li Mingyue was still a thirteen-year-old girl, she only cared about watching the fireworks, and she didn't see Xu Qing having anything on her mind.
There is no end to people's **, when they can't eat enough and don't wear warm, they feel that being able to eat and dress warmly is the greatest happiness, get food and clothing, and want to be accompanied by beautiful women. After getting a beautiful woman, you still want to get wealth and power, and after you get wealth and power, you want to get the respect and admiration of many, thousands of people. After Xu Qing got wealth, power, and beauty, his thoughts went to another realm, and he could not have dreamed of another realm when he was a commoner before, this is "Wang Tu hegemony".
Since Wu Zetian is not good at managing the Tang Dynasty, she will only show small favors to the common people and poor students, such as increasing the strength of the imperial examination, but it led to the Tang Dynasty because of the Li Tang royal family and the Wu family's relatives are incompatible, and the vicious fight for decades, and finally the national strength and military strength have dropped greatly, and the Tubo, Turkic, Khitan, and Silla who originally bowed to the Tang Dynasty rebelled successively, so that the Tang Dynasty lost nearly half of its territory, and the army of the Arab Empire took the opportunity to sweep through the countries of the Western Regions, encroaching on the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, and expelling the Tang Dynasty forces from Central Asia, which eventually led to the later generations of Central Asia, Islamization of the Middle East as a whole.
Wu Zetian's grandson Tang Xuanzong Li Longji opened a short-lived, return-to-light so-called "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era" in his youth and middle age, and indulged in the beauty of Yang Guifei in his later years, pampering the traitors An Lushan, Yang Guozhong, and Li Linfu, resulting in the "Anshi Rebellion", which destroyed the foundation created by Li Shimin, the greatest emperor of Tang Taizong and the greatest saint in the history of the Han Dynasty, and made the Tang Dynasty lose the opportunity to unify the world. Since then, for more than 1,000 years, the living space of the Han nationality has only been shrinking, and has never expanded, and the dynasty with the Han nationality as the main body has never appeared in a peaceful and prosperous era and is admired by all countries in the world. It is even more unfortunate that the Han people have been invaded and ruled by foreign races several times.
Since Xu Qing is here, the Tang Dynasty will continue the glorious situation created by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and get better development on the basis of this strong foundation, and constantly expand the living space of the Han people. In order to realize this grand aspiration, we must be down-to-earth and continue to develop and expand our strength rapidly. In this feudal era, a strong fist is the truth, and force determines everything. It is unrealistic to expect any one of Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and Li Longji to make changes and change the national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, or to expect himself to convince any of Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and Li Longji with the foresight and wisdom of a person in the future world to make changes.
As the saying goes, "it is better to seek others than to seek yourself, and it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself", "If you have surplus food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart", then I Xu Qing will build the strongest army in the world and become the strongest person in the world. Although I am not the strongest now, I am already a strong person, and I am really not used to being swayed by others and manipulating my destiny.
Xu Qing thought about his thoughts, and didn't pay much attention to the remaining half-hour fireworks show. While the audience was still unsatisfied, the concierge quickly announced the end of today's celebration and the continuation of tomorrow's competition. King Yan and his concubines returned to the palace of King Yan under the escort of the guards, the envoys of the five tribes returned to the hotel to rest, and the officials and their families returned to the palace one after another. Li Mingyue naturally went back to Yanwangfu with her mother. If it was during the day, she might go out with Xu Qing for a while, but at night she wouldn't dare to be alone with Xu Qing, so as not to cause gossip.
