Chapter 4 There is a national art in silk
Li Qin's heart was pounding, he really didn't expect that he would have a famous ancestor in this life, and his ancestor left a secret.
At this time, it was the end of the Han Dynasty, the yellow scarf had not risen, the Three Kingdoms had not appeared, it was the troubled times that had emerged, and it was just around the corner, if he could learn the techniques on the secret book, there would be something to do in the troubled times, even if he could not be surprised, he could save his and his family's surname, and spend this life safely, but it was not difficult.
Slowly unfolding the silk book, Li Qin saw that the silk book was divided into two large volumes, the upper volume was the technique of fighting, and the lower volume was the art of war. And the upper volume is divided into two large parts, the upper part is the guidance technique, the next part is the technique of fighting, the name of this volume of silk book is named after the next piece of technique, I think this is the most important one.
Li Qin first swept the art of war in the current volume, and saw that the art of war focuses on fighting tough battles, that is, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, but they are slightly deficient in strategizing, which is much inferior to "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in comparison. However, he had read The Art of War, and the art of war was of little use to him now, so he re-rolled the second half of the silk book and looked at the first part.
The first part is the guidance technique, which is divided into four small chapters, the first part is the fighting technique, that is, the set of boxing techniques that Li Qin practiced in the courtyard. Li Qin is very familiar with the channeling technique, and the most famous channeling technique in history is the five bird operas summarized by Hua Tuo.
The second section is catapult, which deals with how to use a slingshot and bow and arrow, and how to make a good bow. For this small article, Li Qin only read a little, and a series of postures and techniques appeared in his mind, all of which were the credit of the previous owner of this body. But it is estimated that the former master understands the skills, but he does not have the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, otherwise Li Tian would not say that he will only be fur.
The third article is the flying technique, which is about how to run fast on the ground, as well as practicing horseback riding, how to achieve the unity of man and horse, and turn around on the horse at will. To Li Qin's surprise, the Li family's method of practicing horseback riding was different, and it actually started from Keju, kicking shuttlecock first and then kicking the ball, which made him a little confused.
Looking further down, the fourth article is the killing technique, which talks about how to use weapons, focusing on marksmanship and knife skills, focusing on how to shoot fast guns and how to kill with one hit, which has a lot in common with the stabbing method and bayonet in the modern army.
The next part of the technique is not divided into small chapters, it belongs to comprehensive improvement, it is an extension of the previous part, and it is about how to become a peerless general after practicing four small chapters. For the famous generals, this is the most important thing, so the secret book is also named after it.
Although he only took a cursory look, Li Qin found that the entire silk book was talking about killing the enemy, how to kill the enemy as quickly as possible, and how to hit it with one blow, and there was no half of the content of meeting friends with martial arts.
Li Qin couldn't help but think of the national art of later generations, which is an honorific title for traditional martial arts, also called martial arts, but at the moment when the country was in danger during the Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang and others bluntly said in order to motivate soldiers to kill the enemy and defend the country: Martial arts that only kill the enemy and do not perform are called national arts. This has become another way of saying Guoshu.
Looking at the silk book in his hand, Li Qin thought to himself: "Don't care what future generations say about national arts. However, the national art that only kills the enemy and does not perform, I have a volume in front of me, Li's Technique! ”
Seeing his son reading the silk book, Li Tian said: "Son, this ancestral skill, you must read it often in the future, but after reading it, you must put it away and hide it in the box so as not to lose it." ”
Li Qin nodded and said: "The first four small articles are not many words, and the words are also very plain, I can understand them, I will memorize them all tonight, and then look at the back when I am ready." ”
He put the silk book into the jade box, got up and wanted to go back to his room, there is a small fire pit in his house, you can read books by the firelight at night, although there are four small articles in the first part of the guide, but the number of words in each small article is not more than a thousand, the first two articles he is familiar with, and he plans to swallow dates at night and memorize them by rote, and then slowly digest and understand them later. This silk book is not only a family heirloom, but also the place where he lives and lives, and there must be no loss.
Li Tian watched his son arrive at the door of the house, and suddenly said, "Son, you ...... in the future."
Li Qin turned around and looked at Li Tian, and saw Li Tian's lips moving, with a sad look on his face.
Li Tian said: "Dad used to always let you be honest, don't fight with others, say that suffering is a blessing, you have been taught by your father like this since you were a child, although the surname is honest, but you are also a little cowardly." Judging from the fact that you were bullied this time, my father thinks that even if you don't cause trouble, the disaster will not let you go, my Li family is the only seedling of you, if something happens, my father and mother will not be able to live. So...... So ......"
After a pause, he said with difficulty: "So if you are bullied by the wicked again in the future, you can't bear it anymore, you need to resist, if you offend the powerful, it's a big deal that we move away from Fuping, where the loess does not bury people, where the land does not produce grain, as long as the family is together, it is a blessing!" ”
He was honest and honest all his life, and when he was young, he changed a lot, he has always been a low-key person for the sake of his family, believing that suffering is a blessing, and he also educated his son in this way, but he didn't want to make his son almost injured and die, so he told his son to resist. But this kind of behavior is contrary to his habits for many years, so it is very difficult to say it.
Li Qin nodded and said, "I know!" Seeing Li Tian hanging his head and raising his sleeves to wipe his tears, he was also sad and comforted, but he didn't know what to say. He couldn't accept the fact that the Li family and his wife were parents in this life so quickly, and the word father and mother were really hard to say.
Back to his room, Li Qin began to read the silk book, silently remembering in his heart, the first small piece of fighting techniques he is most familiar with, looking at the text and then comparing it, you can get confirmed, and his comprehension ability is much higher than the previous master, plus he is a traditional Chinese medicine background, he knows the characteristics of the channeling technique, so this small article, I don't feel how much effort, I will understand it thoroughly, keep it in my heart, just practice diligently in the future, you can really become his own martial arts.
But the second little catapult technique is not very easy for him to understand. The former master could shoot arrows, and compared to ordinary people, he could be called proficient, but the requirements for the silk book were far from the same. After all, the archery skills recorded in this silk book were left by the best archers in the Cold Weapon Era, and the skills were much more profound. And because Li Tian lost an arm, and he himself was not very good at archery and lacked experience, he couldn't give his son much guidance, so Li Qin didn't know much about archery, and he couldn't understand the principle in a short time like fighting.
Li Qin looked at the silk book and said softly: "When raising the bow, you need to sink your left arm, rotate your elbow inward, and push the bow with the tiger's mouth." I thought that if I could pull the bowstring with such skills, I would be able to do it. ”
He looked back at the wall, where hung a large bow, something left by his former owner. Put the silk book on the couch, he got up and took off the big bow, and saw that it was a single wooden bow, well-made, but it could not be called good, this may be because of financial limitations, even if the poor people know how to make a bow, but there is no way to do it without materials, there is a way that it is difficult for a clever daughter-in-law to cook without rice.
Li Qin pulled the bowstring, and found that the string was very hard, not enough to play the surname, and there was a sense of sluggishness, he just saw in the silk book, a good bowstring is not just using cow tendons, but to add good silk, and silk also has skills when mixing with cow tendons, which is different from the bowstring used in modern bows and arrows. The bow he held in his hand did not have silk added to the strings, but it was still very well maintained.
At this moment, He Shi came in from outside, holding a bowl of hot water in her hand, and she said, "Son, your injury is just right, don't stay up late, rest early." This bowl of water lady will be placed on the edge of the fire for you, and you will drink it if you are thirsty at night. She put the bowl on the edge of the fire, and went out and brought in some firewood, and added it to the fire.
Li Qin looked out the window, and before he knew it, it was dark, and he was concentrating on reading the silk book, and time flew by. He said, "You...... Rest early, too! ”
He smiled, walked over and touched the back of Li Qin's head again, and said, "It seems to be really good, God Baoyou!" Then he turned and went out, and closed the door.
Li Qin pulled the bowstring again, and the memory of the previous owner told him that the range of this bow was about 100 paces, which showed that this bow was still quite good, but according to the bow made in the silk book, it was still quite far behind.
Putting the bow back on the wall, Li Qin began to look at the silk book again, and after seeing the three bow-making methods, he wrote another bow-making method in small characters, and marked red with a red pen.
Li Qin frowned, the first three methods of making bows, the first two methods to make a good bow, it takes more than two years, the third is even more exaggerated, not only the material requirements are extremely high, but also the time is more than three years. So how can this last method be said to be in the event of life and death?
Since it is described as life and death, it cannot be two or three years, it should be at the time of war, and there is a possibility of defeat and death, this method is used at this time! But the battle is just around the corner, how is it possible to make a bow? This method is not only recorded in silk books, but also marked in red, what is this method?
With questions, he was about to look down, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Brother Li, Brother Li, something happened, a wild beast entered the village and took my sheep away!" ”
There was an immediate sound from the east house, and Li Tian opened the door and asked, "Is it Brother Zhao?" Your sheep have been taken away by wild beasts? Can you see what kind of beast it is, is it a wolf? ”
The person outside is Zhao Bajin, who lent Li Tian bran, because he weighed eight catties when he was born, so he took such a name, he was more than ten years younger than Li Tian, because Li Tian was the leader of the village, so as soon as something happened, he immediately ran over.
Zhao Bajin cried out: "I don't know what it is, it was just a little more than a moment after dark, and I came into the village and took my sheep away, it was a ewe, but what should I do!" ”
Li Tian said: "Now that winter has just passed, the wild beasts in the forest have little food, and they want to rush into the village because they are hungry, and the people are fine, so I will go with you to look for sheep!" He picked up a wooden gun with an iron tip and went out.
Li Qin immediately put the silk book into the jade box, took off the bow and arrow, came to the east house, handed the jade box to the He family, and said, "Put it away first, I and ...... I'll go and see! "Follow Li Tian out.
He shouted, "Son, you can be careful, your injuries will be healed......"
Li Tian looked back at Li Qin and said, "My son, how can he be so squeamish. Good son, go with Daddy! "Took Li Qin out of the yard.
