Chapter 10: Teachings
Cui Ling took out his Xingyue Sword and brought it to Lu Yi, Lu Yi thought that he wanted to ask the question of the sword, or change his Dragon Yin Sword to play, but he didn't expect Cui Ling to say mysteriously: "Old Lu, I just want to ask, there is a person squatting on the roof, he is a master among the masters, he heard what we said just now, should we fight or not?" But depending on the strength of you and me, we may not be able to defeat it. Saying that, Cui Ling suddenly pointed the Xingyue Sword at the roof, and suddenly the room was silent, and the needle drop could be heard!
"Hehehehe, good kung fu, my master once said that the descendants of the Sword King have the kung fu of finding qi, and it is true when I see it today." Someone's voice came from the roof, and the sound was hidden around the beams, all in the shadows that the lights in the house could not illuminate, and it seemed that the voice was deliberately holding back the voice, deliberately not letting people hear who it was.
Cui Ling snorted coldly and said: "Good skill, tossing and turning on the room makes the sound erratic, and disturbs the sound with the qi, so that I can't judge where you are, you are really a master among the masters." You stared at us for a long time just now, I thought I was wrong, I just cheated someone, and your ability to hide your anger is not bad. Don't hide, come down, what's so glorious about being a gentleman on the beam. β
Cui Ling didn't feel the momentum of the dragon chanting sword out of the sheath, nor did he hear the sound of the dragon chanting, it is said that if Lu Yi drew the sword out of the sheath, whether it was the sound or the feeling, he would find it again, but now this is not the case. Cui Ling looked at it with his peripheral vision, but he didn't know what happened to Lu Yi, but he saw Lu Yi looking at the roof stupidly, his eyes were a little fluctuating, Cui Ling scolded in his heart, this thing was quite powerful just now. It's not like you're scared to cry when you meet a master.
"Lu Yi!" Cui Ling shouted: "Wake up quickly, it's not that I will destroy my own ambition and increase the prestige of others." This person who is said to be a good man is not good and is a first-class master, if you don't draw your sword and strike him with me. The two of us will surely die. β
Lu Yi waved his hand, pressed Cui Ling's hand and shouted at the top of the roof, "Master, is it your old man?" β
"Your master, I'm not old yet, so I don't need to be called an old man." This voice resumed and his tone was full of gentleness, and a man in black fluttered down, his movements as light as a feather, and he didn't make any movement at all. Cui Ling couldn't help but shout hello when he saw it, took the saber and stepped forward, hugged his fist and arched his hand: "Senior Cui Ling has seen Uncle Duan. β
Most of the people Cui Ling saw along the way were treated with a playful attitude. Calling you big brother is already full of face, and he doesn't even say hello when he encounters those small sects. But now he respectfully calls Duan Qingfeng Uncle Duan, which makes Lu Yi feel a little surprised. It's not unreasonable to think about it, first of all, Duan Qingfeng's ability is here, so that Cui Ling has to be impressed, all those who are good at art admire the strong. Duan Qingfeng is a strong man.
In addition, Cui Ling is the grandson of the sword king Cui Ying. The sword king Cui Ying and the Wudang treasure Danyangzi are considered to be equals, and Cui Ling and Lu Yi are also friends of the same generation, and they are Cui Ling's grandchildren. In Cui Ling's opinion, others can't get into his eyes at all, so even in the rivers and lakes where his shoulders are brothers, he doesn't bother to call it, and he is just arrogant.
Duan Qingfeng smiled and said, "The virtuous nephew is polite. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lu Yi, his eyes full of love. Lu Yi took two steps forward and knelt on the ground: "Master." β
"Good apprentice, get up quickly. Don't hurt yourself when it's cold on the ground. Duan Qingfeng said and helped Lu Yi up, Cui Ling smiled and said: "The true qi of the master and apprentice is yin, and there are few in the world, how can you be afraid of the cold?" Hey, it's just love, this kind of master-apprentice relationship is really the envy of the world. β
The three of them burst out laughing.
Lu Yi stood up and asked, "Master, why are you here?" β
"I saw a military report for the division, saying that someone was planning to go to Taihu Lake Village alone with you, and the style of acting on this road was very different from what you did in the past. On weekdays, you are very cautious, and you have been seen as a teacher since childhood, so you naturally understand you. But this time, you acted carelessly, and you were bold and reckless, but you were able to save the day again and again, so naturally you had the help of a master. I'm afraid that this master is the one who will accompany you to the water village alone. I can't rest assured that I am afraid that you will be deceived and misguided when you are young, so I came to take a look, and now I am relieved to see that it is Cui Xian's nephew. Duan Qingfeng said lightly.
Lu Yi shook his head embarrassedly and said, "Master doesn't know, it's Cui Ling who doesn't allow me to say it, so I strictly forbid to spread the news to my family." My father asked me to be in charge of the affairs of the south this time, and I have the final say on what should be reported and what should not be reported, so the master was worried, and the child deserved to die. Master, please take a seat, you are tired from the journey. β
"I'm a little tired, indeed." Duan Qingfeng swung his robe and sat down, and said, "This time, because the news of the change in Henan has been hindered for a long time, the information only came this morning. Recently, the division has been busy with security issues in Shandong, and I didn't see your news until noon today. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you will always be a child in the eyes of the teacher, so you will not blame the teacher for arranging for your subordinates to come here, right? β
"I don't dare." Lu Yi's tears were about to burst out, and the master rushed from Dengzhou to Taihu Lake so quickly for himself, even if he was superb in martial arts, he couldn't help but be tired. Lu Yi said quite distressedly: "Master, I have just asked Han Sufa to send me food, you have a good rest after eating, and I will order someone to fetch water for you to take a hot bath to relieve your fatigue." β
Duan Qingfeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll rest assured that you have nothing to do as a teacher." Now it seems that you still have Cui Xian's nephew to help, so you can naturally turn evil into good fortune, take refuge and seek blessings, and you will be more at ease as a teacher. Cui Xian's nephew, Duan has thanked you here. β
Duan Qingfeng hugged his fists as he spoke, and Cui Ling hurriedly said: "Senior uncle, junior nephew doesn't dare, I really don't dare to be, follow Lao Lu, no, it's Senior Brother Lu, and senior nephew has also learned a lot of principles for dealing with people." β
"Well, the two of you still need to help each other more and make up for each other, so that you can become a generation of Tianjiao in the future." Duan Qingfeng looked at the two of them and said approvingly, and then said to Lu Yi'er: "Yi'er, you come, the teacher will say a few words to you and leave." Shandong is now at a critical moment, your father has other things to do, he is not a fine person who can sit still, and there is no one to use without people, so I have to go back quickly. β
"Yes." Lu Yi hugged his fists, and Cui Ling said: "Since Uncle Lu has something to tell Senior Brother Lu, my nephew will retire first, and I will guard the two outside the door." β
Cui Ling was about to go out as he spoke, but was stopped by Duan Qingfeng: "No need, there is nothing confidential." Besides, if the three of us can't hear the master, I'm afraid that it won't have any effect on the wind, so it's easy to kill us, isn't it? Hehe, Cui Xian's nephew, you are also here, I just want to tell Lu Yi some big truths. You also come to listen to it, maybe it will be useful, this is all Duan's experience, maybe what he said is not right, but it is harmless to listen to it in the future, you can give him a wake-up call, right? β
Duan Qingfeng said very politely, and did not speak in an educational tone at all, which made Cui Ling feel very comfortable. Cui Ling clenched his fists again, sat aside and listened.
Duan Qingfeng said: "Yi'er, this time the master only told sΓΉ some big truths about doing things, you have to draw inferences from one case and use them flexibly. First of all, listen more and see more, everyone has strengths, to see these in others, to learn, this time to the south to do things is also a kind of experience for you, if you can't sum up any experience in things, it can be said to be in vain. Secondly, we must know people and make good use of them, the so-called good use of people is not only to see the advantages of others and put them in the right place to make a difference, but also to see their shortcomings, but also to take advantage of their shortcomings. For example, if you just see a person who is accurate in calculation, good at dancing and good at mathematics, and you send him to manage money, it turns out that this person has a shortcoming, that is, he is greedy for money, and he doesn't know if he is full of money. And some people may be very stingy, they are simply a dime of iron roosters, if you send such a person to guard the warehouse, he can see the warehouse as his own property, how can he lose a penny? This is taking advantage of someone else's shortcomings. β
Lu Yi and Cui Ling nodded again and again when they heard this, and felt that what Duan Qingfeng said was easy to understand and easy to remember, but it contained too many truths, and in the future, with such ideas and practice, they would definitely be able to make progress.
Duan Qingfeng continued: "Another point is to accumulate thick and learn to hide yourself. Hiding oneself is not only a kind of preservation for oneself but also a way to accumulate strength, cultivating the same person, stabbing a sword elbow the more backward the power is, which is to say that sometimes retreating is to move forward better. With Cui Xian's nephew here, you can naturally hide your whereabouts, but what I call is not so, but to make your forces in the south not too conspicuous. First of all, the southern forces are not enough to become a climate now, if you bring in a large army, although you will relieve the siege of Shandong, but you are in danger, and it will make the southern forces suffer a catastrophe. The South, which your father had worked so hard to run for many years, was inevitably destroyed, not only in terms of military power, but also in terms of economy and popular reputation. Therefore, it is okay to accumulate strength and stabilize those who have already developed, if you have the energy to develop some strength, and strive for the strength that you can strive for, but you must remember to make a small fuss and don't make too much movement. β
"Shandong is in the north, you are in the south, in case there is danger, remember to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, do not fight hard. One south and one north form a corner of each other, and jointly contain the imperial court, so that both sides are the best choice and the best policy. Duan Qingfeng said, as he stood up and said, "The teacher is gone, I heard you say that you want to change people just now, so I said so much." Although I don't like the political struggle as a teacher, it is a very fun thing, don't take it too seriously, but you have to treat it carefully, otherwise every mistake is wrong, it is an abyss. At the end of the teacher, I will send you ten words as the method of governing people, clear rules to do things, and unspoken rules to rectify people. Think about it, Cui Xian's nephew, I'm leaving. β
"Congratulations to Master."
"Congratulations to Uncle Duan." (To be continued......)
