4. Resistance and compromise

"Brother, it's coming!" Yue Fei held a wooden stick in his hand and stared at Yue Fei tightly.

"Come on, Rokuro, this is the seventh time, don't lose again!" Yue Fei held a wooden stick in his hand, smiled confidently, and stared at Yue Fei tightly.

Yue Fei took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and brandished a wooden stick to attack Yue Fei, one move and one style, like flowing water, Yue Fei kept blocking, and seemed to be at ease, although he was retreating step by step, he was still taking action step by step, and there was a basis for advancing and retreating, on the other hand, Yue Flip, although neither the moves, nor the speed or the strength were under Yue Fei, but he lacked an offensive momentum, although it was a practice, the point was up to the point, but there was no aggressive blow at all, and it was of no use to Yue Fei.

Zhou Tong sighed slightly, and looked at Yue Turn's eyes full of regret, such a talented child, he lived for more than sixty years, but he only saw Yue Flip one, he taught a lot of disciples in his life, but Yue Turn's talent was only seen in his life, and among the rest of the disciples, whether it was Lin Chong, the head of the forbidden army stick sect who was famous in Beijing, or Lu Junyi, a wealthy businessman in Hebei and nicknamed Jade Qilin, was not as good as Yue Flip in terms of talent.

Zhou Tong was also slightly dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the imperial court's employment policy, suppressed the martial arts, and elevated the literati, so that the martial arts left by the former Tang Dynasty were gone, Lu Junyi was a rare handsome talent in his opinion, and Lin Chong was a rare general, if it was in the former Tang Dynasty, their achievements would not be inferior to the military generals of Lingyan Pavilion, but in the Great Song Dynasty......

Lin Chong's depression is in his eyes, and Lu Junyi would rather be in business than join the army, and he also sees it in his eyes.

So when he accepted the two brothers of the Yue family as closed disciples in his twilight years, he still hesitated, if it weren't for the fact that Yue Fei, the eldest man of the Yue family, loved to practice martial arts and liked to read military books, Zhou Tong would not let this child destroy his future, Yue Fei's talent was also excellent, but being in the Great Song Dynasty was his sorrow.

Galloping on horses is out of character, guns and sticks belong to the scum of Sven, the purchase of swords will be suspected of rebellion, in the unexpected tolerance of the literati, for the martial arts, it is unprecedented harshness and suppression, it is so, the country's armed forces have declined so far, except for the Western Army perennial resistance to the Western Xia, there is still a battle power, the rest of the forbidden army has long been unavailable, Lin Chong every time he came to visit him, the deep exhaustion and loss on his face, Zhou Dong was not unable to see.

As for Yue Jialiulang Yue Tuo, his little disciple, he feels the most sorry, not that the future of this little disciple is not good, Yue Tuo is valued by Zhang Xianling, the whole Xiangzhou knows, people are rumored that Yue Tuo is the next "Xiao Yan Xianggong", quite respectful of him, on the road of literati, Zhou Tong has reason to believe that Yue Tuo can go to the top, so when Yue Tuo took the initiative to propose to him that he wanted to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, he was so excited.

Literati practice martial arts, that is, both civil and military, these years, there are fewer and fewer people who are both civil and military, and people like to get drunk more and more, the entire Great Song Dynasty is filled with a smell of drunken life and dreams, the intoxicating smell that wafts from Tokyo, Zhou Tong can smell it hiding in the countryside, and the most terrible thing is that this smell of drunken life and dream of death not only drunk the literati, but also the martial artists and the army.

Yue looked very thoroughly, and when he asked him to accept him as a disciple, he said that the court was weak, the army was corrupt, and the combat effectiveness was completely empty, and it was good that the northern enemy did not invade the south, and once the northern enemy invaded the south, the Great Song Dynasty was a layer of papier-mÊīŋŊ windows, which would be broken when stabbed.

In response to the last sentence, as well as Yue Tuo's age, Zhou Tong forgave Yue Tuo's great disrespect to the imperial court, forgave Yue Tuo's indifference to the country, and insisted on accepting him as a disciple, but Zhou Tong took into account Yue Tuo's reputation and the impact that martial arts may have on him, so he asked Yue Tuo not to mention this matter in front of outsiders, as long as he comes with Yue Fei, he will naturally teach Yue Tuo martial arts, the love of master and apprentice, you know that I know the heavens and the earth.

When did practicing martial arts become an unsightly thing?

Zhou Tong sighed deeply, and after further feeling Yue Tuo's talent, this feeling is even stronger, Yue Tuo's talent, comprehension, not only reflected in the poetry book, but also reflected in the martial arts, explain to Yue Fei three times before Yue Fei understands, explain half to Yue Tuo, Yue Flip can draw inferences from one another, this kind of talent, and almost unforgettable memory, so that Zhou Tong is impressed.

Zhou Tong also deeply understands the kindness in this child, his face is cold, there is no innocent smile of ordinary children, there are not many words, and his tone is also cold, plain, treating everyone like this, but Zhou Tong still sees the kindness hidden in the child's heart, as well as the care for his family, from the object called "recliner" that he personally instructed the carpenter, you can see the delicacy in the child's heart.

But there is only one point, Zhou Tong found that no matter when, Yue Tuo seems to lack a kind of determined spirit, and regardless of the result of hard work, he does not have the firmest will, this point, he is not as good as Yue Fei, although Yue Fei is not as talented as Yue Fei, but if he identifies a path, he will rush forward without hesitation, will not hesitate, will not regret, but Yue Tuo, always seems to hesitate, unable to decide, except for some things that he seems to have decided early on, he will show amazing persistence.

In terms of martial arts, Zhou Tong thinks that Yue Tuo, who is three years younger than Yue Fei, has surpassed Yue Fei in terms of moves and speed, except for the lack of strength caused by his young age, in other aspects, Yue Flip is stronger than Yue Fei, but seven practice battles, except for this time, the victory or defeat is still not scored, the first six times, Yue Flip all lost, as for the reason, Zhou Tong felt that it was exactly the same - no aggressiveness, no purpose to defeat Yue Fei at all.

It seems that this is the case, I can't find aggressiveness, I can't find Yue Fei's ambition and determination to attack, it seems that Yue Fei is attacking in order to win, Yue Fei is just to confirm his martial arts, there is no offense**, if the move is a little ruthless, he will stop immediately, and when he is forced into a corner by Yue Fei, he can also turn the situation around, but he is reversed in an instant - he doesn't like fighting, he is afraid of getting hurt.

Zhou Tong felt the unconfident aura in Yue Tuo's heart, which was the biggest obstacle restricting Yue Tuo's development, if there was no such obstacle, Zhou Tong believed that Yue Tuo's future was not comparable to Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, and perhaps, Yue Fei was far from it.

He always stopped when he should have given Yue Fei the fatal blow, hesitated, and was quickly defeated by Yue Fei, who reacted, and had no chance to continue the fight at all.

What is this kid worried about?

Zhou Tong is already at the age of the sixtieth year, and it is clear to the world, the world is becoming more and more unpeaceful, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people live in hardship, the Yue family was still a fourth-class household more than two years ago, belonging to the lower household, poor, barely living, and it is normal for the ordinary thing to be bullied by the government tax officials, in his opinion, Yue Fei and Yue Chuan have grown up watching the government oppress the people since they were children, and the strong and the weak bully the weak.

Yue Fei and Yue Tuo have seen the strong plundering and possessing in various ways, and they are also respected and envied, while the weak are bullied and despised, the Yue family is a poor peasant, the poor peasant is the bottom class of society, the weak in the last days, and their lives are full of suffering.

Suffering is a test cup, put people into this test cup, and come out will be different, those who choose to resist become heroes, those who choose to go along with the dirt become devils, and those who choose to be obedient become cowards, Zhou Tong is sure that Yue Fei has chosen the road of resistance, from when he was ten years old when he took a few friends to beat up the tyrannical tax officials, Zhou Tong heard Yue Fei's name, and after accepting him as an apprentice, he knew more that this disciple was a person who chose to resist and never compromise.

However, why does Yue Fan, who grew up in the same environment as him, have such a character? He knows that Yue Flip has far-reaching wisdom and has his own views on everything, but even if he deals with others, he will never take action by himself, but find someone to help him, he is the mastermind behind the scenes, but he is definitely not the executor, he lacks the courage to show his face, he seems to prefer to be an unknown person, rather than being exposed to the public, for the wicked, Yue Fei chooses to fight, but Yue Flip will choose to retreat, unless the wicked are persecuted, he will never make a move.

Sure enough, in the seventh battle, it was Yue Flip who failed, and he still stopped at the last moment, Yue Fei reacted, and swept Yue Flip to the ground with a stick, ending the battle, Yue Fei looked at Yue Flip who was lying on the ground without any resistance with some regret and incomprehension, and said: "Liulang, you have several chances to defeat your brother, why don't you start?" If it were a battlefield, you would have died many times! ”

Yue Fu lay on the ground and smiled, and said, "Because you are not an enemy, you are a brother!" ”

Yue Fei frowned and said, "Then on the battlefield, when there are real knives and real guns, you must go for it?!" ”

Yue Fan smiled again: "There won't be that day, I won't go to the battlefield, brother, you won't either!" ”

Yue Fei put away the wooden stick and frowned: "If the eldest husband doesn't kill the enemy in battle, then why do you want to practice martial arts?" Liulang, my brother has always learned martial arts only to join the army and fight, and my brother also knows that you are not willing to do these things, and my brother will not force you, you can go to study, get famous, and in the future, Donghuamen will be famous and glorify your ancestors, but you don't want to be as vulnerable as your brother thinks, even if Beiliao is strong, you won't be afraid of it! Even if he has tattoos on his face, he will definitely join the army to serve the country and fight on the battlefield! Di Gong is a role model for his brother, do you understand? ”

Yue Fu sighed, shook his head, sat up, and said with a helpless smile: "Brother, your opponent is not Beiliao!" After speaking, Yue Fei stood up and walked towards Zhou Tong, leaving Yue Fei with a look of confusion and stunned...... My opponent...... Not Northern Liao? That, who is that? Apart from Northern Liao, who else was the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty? Western Xia? is a small country, even Tong Guan, the eunuch, can be calmed, what is it?

Yue Chuan didn't explain, he came to Zhou Tong and bowed deeply: "Master, the disciple has been defeated again." ”

Zhou Tong didn't have any surprised expression, silently looked at Yue for a while, and said: "Fan'er, why did you say it once, your defeat is not in martial arts and body, but in your heart, Fei'er regards you as an opponent, but you don't treat Fei'er as an opponent, and you don't even treat anyone as an opponent, if so, what if you are the first in the world in martial arts?" Wounded? Flip, this is not a reason, in the process of practicing martial arts, why have you been injured once? ”

Yue opened his mouth and said: "That's so that I won't be injured after learning martial arts, that's all, Master, the disciple never wants to fight with anyone, just hope for a peaceful life and a rich life." ”

Zhou Tong closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and said: "Flip, the teacher knows that you are not an ordinary child, if an ordinary ten-year-old child talks like this, the teacher will definitely beat him up angrily and abolish his martial arts, even if a cowardly person learns martial arts, a brave person will not dare to fight like martial arts, turn over, can you tell the teacher why this is all about?" Why are you so obsessed with a stable life? A person who practices martial arts can't bully the weak, but when someone else wants to bully you, won't you resist it? ”

Yue blinked his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all, he just bowed deeply to Zhou Tong: "Master, it's not too early, please rest early, disciple retire!" ”
