Chapter 161: Concentrate on Reading to Break 10,000 Volumes, and If You Are Not Even, You Will Cut 20,000 Swords (Part II)
"I heard that our Seven Sages Sect has not had a disciple ascend the apricot altar for thirty years......"
After settling into his apartment, Guo Dalu heard the other roommates start chatting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There's nothing strange about this, after all, our Seven Sages Sect is a small sect, how can we compete with the children of those big sects and big families? ”
"That's right, and as far as I know, the next time the altar is opened, Princess Tilting Jade and Ling Hutang, a new generation of senior disciples of the Book Sword Sect, will participate, which is equivalent to booking two places in advance. ”
"What's more, the senior sister of the Four Peerless Sects and the second young master of Yunhou Mansion, don't you count?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, they heard someone sigh with a wry smile.
It's like that, but it's really not a pity and regret, the gap is so big that the mind of jealousy and resentment will no longer exist, only looking up, shocked, stunned, liking and brushing 666......
Guo Dalu has no concept of these people, and he can't talk about any pressure in his heart, in fact, he only cares about one thing now, where is the library of the Seven Sages Sect.
In the past, due to limited conditions at home, I could only rely on part-time jobs to borrow books to read, and I even had to borrow the light next door to read at night. Now that he has successfully become an inner disciple of the Seven Sages Sect, the learning conditions can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes in an instant, how could he not seize the opportunity to sweep the books that can be stored in the Library?
So after dinner, he inquired all the way to the library.
The library of the Seven Sages Sect has a total of five floors, and as a new inner disciple, Guo Dalu has the reading privileges from one to three floors.
When he stood in front of the rows of bookshelves, he felt a sense of relaxation, like a wolf entering the flock, and his happiness suddenly soared to a historical peak.
According to the logic of the placement of books in the library pavilion, he picked out a "scripture commentary", a "poetic explanation" and a "sword theory", and then sat silently aside with three books in his hand, reading them hungrily.
Time flies, the scriptures and poems are quickly finished, and just as he was about to open the "Sword Talk", the old man who guarded the library came over and urged him to leave.
"Uncle, can I borrow this book? I will return it tomorrow. He reluctantly held the book of "Sword Talk" and asked.
"If you can't chew more, you will come back tomorrow. The old man waved his hand and refused.
Guo Dalu didn't dwell on it, put the three books back where they were, and said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, although he did not hear the rooster crow, Guo Dalu still got up on time when the first rays of morning light appeared in the east, he quietly got dressed, and then went out with his broken sword.
Also because of the limited conditions, Guo Dalu has not been exposed to the superior, or even the middle of the Confucian swordsmanship, and the swordsmanship he insists on practicing every day is still the set of popular swordsmanship launched by Xingtan a hundred years ago - "Zhengqi Swordsmanship".
Originally, this swordsmanship was nothing special, everyone could practice, but few people could practice it as persistently and dedicatedly as Guo Dalu, which was also the fundamental reason why he was able to win fifteen games in the assessment with this set of basic swordsmanship.
An hour later, Guo Dalu finished his sword practice, went back for a little rest and washing, just in time to have breakfast with his brothers.
After breakfast, the new disciples officially began their path of study and cultivation in the Seven Sages Sect.
For Guo Dalu, the life of the classroom, the canteen, the library pavilion, the dormitory, and the martial arts training ground also kicked off.
Originally, he was the easiest middle school student to transform into a small transparent, and coupled with his style of only reading sages and practicing sages and sages, his sense of existence became weaker and weaker.
Among the brothers, there are many good deeds with bad conduct, and there is no lack of unruly geniuses, but none of them have ever provoked Guo Dalu.
There are books to read. There is food to eat. There is clothing to wear. There is sword practice. Have a sleep.
Conflict-free. No hatred. No turmoil. No stepping on people. No repression.
Since the beginning of March, the wind has been calm and the years have been good.
By the fourth month, Guo Dalu had finished reading all the books on the first floor, and he came to the second floor, and then he came across a couplet.
"Jinshui Riverside Golden Thread Willow Golden Thread Willow Piercing Goldfish Mouth"
It is a thimble couplet, that is, the ending word of the previous clause of the couplet, which is the same as the beginning of the next clause.
The couplet is written on a piece of paper sandwiched in the Left Biography.
Guo Dalu was itchy for a while, and made up the following couplet: "Outside the jade railing, the hosta flower hosta flower inserts the jade head"
So the next day, he got acquainted with Gu Mei, the owner of Shanglian, one of his female classmates.
The two connected with each other, both felt elegant, and then had many exchanges, until soon after, Guo Dalu was beaten up.
The person who beat Guo Dalu was named Kou Liangcai, another classmate of Guo Dalu, and he was also the third in the assessment.
Kou Liangcai has been secretly devoted to Gu Mei, and it has come time to confess his intentions, but he didn't expect someone to be so ignorant of current affairs, and he couldn't control his hands in anger......
Guo Dalu was beaten in vain, and he was naturally indignant in his heart, but he didn't reason with Kou Liangcai, nor did he report the matter to the school, but was ready to improve his swordsmanship without sleep or food, and then beat it back fiercely.
From that day on, he spent an hour of reading time every night to practice his sword.
But for some reason, his sword training talent is really ordinary, as if there is no enlightenment.
As the ontology of Guo Dalu from God's perspective, he finally couldn't stand it, thinking that if he didn't find a way to help himself in his dream at this time, he could be rated as "the most paddling plug-in in history".
Skills still can't be shared, and even if they can, he can't share the Mo family's swordsmanship with himself in his dreams.
In the Confucian world, the Mohist swordsmanship is displayed, and this kind of death can simply be awarded the title of "Zuozi", which is on a par with the hundred schools of thought.
Skills can not be shared, but understanding and talent can communicate and sense, Guo Dalu is now a qualified practitioner, and the real world has also understood the Confucianism of "Confucius is still upright" and "benevolent people love others", so at this time, through telepathy, it is still easy to enlighten yourself in the dream world.
The night is like water, and the sky is full of stars.
Guo Dalu sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation square, looking up at the starry sky, somewhat confused in his heart, with his practice method, how long would it take to practice to catch up with the gap between him and Kou Liangcai?
When the hell will I be able to beat him back?
Just when the question mark in my heart "?" suddenly popped out, I suddenly saw a meteor crossing the sky, and my heart couldn't help but tremble, and it was blessed to my heart in an instant!
Countless pictures of "smelling chickens and dancing" flashed in front of me one by one, and the moves, theories, and outlines of dozens of "treatises on swordsmanship" were suddenly solved, and the "difficult points of swordsmanship" mentioned in seven or eight swordsmanship teachings suddenly opened up, and a majestic righteousness full of generosity and heroism was about to burst out.
The sword moves flying in the sky in his mind and the momentum that had been accumulated for ten years suddenly converged, condensing into a long dragon of sword qi passing through the sky.
Guo Dalu felt something in his heart, raised his sword and got up, only to see the sleeves of his robe flying, and he slashed forward at will, and the sword qi flew out at least 39 meters!
Many years later, people mentioned this night and described it as follows: "That night, Guo Dalu looked up at the starry sky and realized the sword, and broke through several realms in one night, and the swordsmanship was finally perfected. ”
The next day, Guo Dalu issued a war letter to Kou Liangcai, and on the martial arts training ground, in front of many brothers and sisters, he picked Kou Liangcai away with a sword.
Many brothers and sisters once again dedicated a "dumbfounded" scene to everyone, and at the same time, the entire sect was also shaken.
There are birds that have not sung for ten years, and they are a blockbuster!
Uncle Cheng Zheng, the head of the family, was overjoyed, so he recruited Guo Dalu as a closed disciple and personally guided him.
No one in the Seven Sages Sect has successfully ascended the altar for thirty years, and the head of Cheng is under a lot of pressure, and now that he finally met such a monster, he will definitely not miss it!
......
......
A year later, the disciples of the Seven Sages Sect discussed the Seven Sages Mountain, and Guo Dalu defeated one person with one sword and took the lead.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, the eight major sects preached literature and martial arts, and the geniuses of all factions gathered, Guo Dalu held the sword given by the master, and won eight consecutive games in the tea room, and the skills were shocking to the eight sects.
......
In the winter of another year, Uncle Cheng Zheng officially taught Guo Dalu the authentic "Haoran Nine Swords" of Confucianism.
In the octagonal pavilion of the opposite mountain, the master and apprentice sat and stood together, talking about literature and martial arts, and they were very happy.
"Reading books is good at cultivating Haoran's qi, and swinging a sword is to fill its qi between heaven and earth!"
“...... The sword qi begins to emerge, does not stand according to the form, does not act with strength, and does not wait to be born and exists......"
"The qi rushes to the sky, the stars change color, the qi travels to the earth, the rivers and mountains shake, the qi enters the nine shadows, and the ghosts and gods are shocked ......"
Uncle Cheng Zheng passed the recipe and explained it as he preached, and before he knew it, two hours passed, Fang Jue was tired, and immediately waved his sleeves and said, "You go and comprehend yourself, I'll take a break." ”
Where will Guo Dalu go, Jing Li waited on the side, and when Uncle Cheng Zheng woke up, the snow outside the pavilion was already a foot deep.
......
Guo Dalu entered the third year of the Seven Sages Sect, and the "Haoran Nine Swords" had been learned into eight swords, and the last sword "Who else should I be" was puzzled.
So he asked his master to go down the mountain for a few months, but he naturally agreed, and ordered him to return before May, because the seventh day of the sixth month is the day when the apricot altar opens.
......
Four months ago, Guo Dalu rode down the mountain on a green ox with a sword and a volume of Mencius hanging on its horns.
In the fifth month, the "Green Bull Swordsman" became famous in all directions.
......
"Figured it out?"
On the first day of June, the day before setting off for Xingtan, Shizun asked Guo Dalu.
Guo Dalu shook his head honestly.
"Then keep thinking. ”
Shizun patted him on the shoulder, not blaming.
......
On the seventh day of the first month of June, the apricot altar was opened, and the sages gathered together, which was a grand occasion.
After the official start of the altar, nearly 10,000 talents were divided into 500 groups, and climbed up the steps along their own fixed steps, from the bottom of the altar to the top of the altar, a total of 72 steps, that is, 72 exam questions.
Originally, the apricot altar, which looked beautiful and ordinary, suddenly changed color after the official start of the altar, as if a fantasy had come.
The first level of questions has already appeared in front of each candidate.
"Write silently the Analects of the Analects and make a brief analysis. ”
Guo Dalu has read more than 10,000 books, and similar topics are tantamount to sending points to him.
Quickly answer the level and climb the second level.
The content of the subsequent exam questions is not from the Four Books and Five Classics, but the tricks are different.
......
When he reached the fiftieth level, the exam questions finally abandoned literature and martial arts.
I saw the scene of the steps change, and it turned into a martial arts arena.
Guo Dalu doesn't have time to do more with his opponents, and he definitely doesn't need two swords if he can do it with one sword.
He drew his sword all the way and slashed all the way, approaching the top of the altar step by step.
Level 50!
Level 55!
Level 60!
Level 66!
......
Just as Guo Dalu stepped on the 71st step, he suddenly felt the water of the Yellow River falling from the sky, and he was about to hit himself back to the ground.
Guo Dalu was shocked, turned his head to look, and found that on the same 70th steps, there was a young man in green clothes, who was pointing a sword at his side.
Guo Dalu recognized the young man's identity at a glance.
The chief disciple of the Book Sword Sect, Ling Hutang.
The sword intent of "the water of the Yellow River came from the sky" just now came from his mastery of "hanging mountains and rivers upside down".
Guo Dalu didn't have time to think about it, and slashed at Ling Hutang with a move "Jin Shengyu Zhen".
"Even if you don't go to the altar today, I will kill you with 20,000 swords!"
Guo Dalu followed the sword, and the spirit of Haoran was vigorous, and the sword moves were endless, rolling towards Ling Hutang like a storm.
