Chapter 70: Confucius also knows martial arts
During the meal, Ji Pingzi sent an envoy over, not only sending a generous gift, but also conveying Ji Pingzi's words, inviting Kong Qiu to go to Ji's mansion tomorrow.
When the envoy saw that the great god was also here, he was naturally flattered.
"Alright! Go back! Get back! Fang Jishi saw that the young Confucius couldn't make up his mind, so he took the lead, agreed, and sent the envoy back.
"This, this, this?" The young Confucius couldn't get rid of the strong psychological contrast for a while, and he didn't know what to do when he looked at the generous gifts he sent?
"Take it! Since it's been delivered, what's the point? At least! It shows that Ji Pingzi and Yang Hu are different! Isn't it? With the generous gift of Dr. Ji Pingzi and tomorrow's invitation, you can save face! Isn't it?
If you don't accept gifts, it means that you don't have real talent and don't dare to accept gifts, don't you? You accepted the gift, accepted Dr. Ji's invitation, and went to Ji's Mansion tomorrow, and all your face will come back, right? Such! It's equivalent to slapping Yang Hu in the face! ”
Under the persuasion of Fang Jishi, the young Confucius nodded and agreed.
Although Meng Pi didn't know what happened to his Qiu brother when he went to Ji Mansion today? can see the generous gifts and invitations sent by Ji Fu, as well as what Uncle Fang Jishi said, guessing that something big should have happened.
"Can you imagine? What will Ji Pingzi ask when he calls you tomorrow? Will you answer if ? Fang Jishi asked with concern.
This is no joke! You have to be mentally prepared beforehand. Now that you've recommended yourself, you'll have to show some real skills. Otherwise? You're going to slap yourself in the face. Today, people are giving gifts, maybe tomorrow they will punish you on the spot!
Seriously! It's not that Ji Pingzi thinks that Yang Hu is doing something wrong, and it's not that he Ji Pingzi loves talent, so he gave you a generous gift to the young Kongqiu. But! For the sake of our cornerstone, I did so. If you don't show your hand tomorrow, with Ji Pingzi's villain's heart, it won't be blamed if you don't treat your crime on the spot?
The young Confucius thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I'm sure!" There should be no problem! ”
"Good! Drink! Fang Jishi happily raised his glass and said loudly.
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
Meng Pi also picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup.
Ji Pingzi sent someone to send a generous gift and invited the young Kong Qiu to go to Ji's mansion tomorrow, and it soon spread in the village. Many people came to the door of Kongqiu's house to see the excitement and wanted to find out. It can be seen that Fang Jishi and the others are still there, and they don't dare to go in.
All afternoon! The people of the village gathered in groups of three or five, and they all talked about it behind their backs. As for Kong Qiu's humiliation in Ji Mansion, it has not yet been passed from Qufu, and everyone does not know.
In the afternoon, Fang Jishi, the young Confucius, and Meng Pi drank until dark, and then prepared to return to the Qufu Palace.
"Uncle! I want to learn martial arts! Before leaving, the young Confucius arched his hand and said.
"Learn martial arts? You? Fang Jishi froze and said, "Don't you know the six arts?" You? ”
"Six Arts?"
At this time, the young Confucius was not so versatile, and he was not proficient in the six arts. But? Under Fang Jishi's reminder, he was determined to develop on this in the future and be proficient in the six arts.
The young Confucius, eager to learn and motivated, will not lag behind others.
"Alright! I'll have someone teach you! I probably don't have time to teach you anymore! ”
Thinking of going to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Fang Jishi had to sigh: he couldn't teach the young Confucius the martial arts of the future sage with his own hands.
It also surprised Fang Jishi: Confucius actually knew martial arts? It seems that there is no record of this in the history books?
Among the six arts, there is "archery", but it is only used by the nobles for entertainment, not the kind of archery skills on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, it's a joke by the aristocracy.
That night, Fang Jishi did not return to Qufu, but only asked a guard to go back and send a letter to his family and Lu Zhao, and he personally taught the young Confucius martial arts.
For this big man, who has been taught family education since childhood, without any foundation in martial arts, Fang Jishi can only teach according to his aptitude.
Just teach him some self-defense techniques!
"Martial arts need a foundation! If you don't have a foundation, let's teach you some of the most basic self-defense techniques! That's good! As a future saint, there is still a long way to go in the future, and if you learn self-defense, you can protect yourself at critical moments! ”
Hearing the uncle say that he was a "future saint", the young Confucius's face flushed. But! He was also even more determined: he must work hard! You can't be a saint, at least be a person who doesn't have many mistakes, and try not to make such low-level mistakes as today.
And what about saints? It's a shame!
Remembering the humiliation he had received in the morning, a subtle self-deprecating smile appeared on the face of the young Confucius. And then! Shook his head.
"Any martial arts requires a foundation! Practice your own skills first, and then practice your weapon skills. But! Any weapon skill is inseparable from people, and it is inseparable from one's own physical ability! ……”
Fang Jishi gave a brief introduction to the young Confucius in terms of martial arts. And then! Only then did he formally teach grappling and self-defense.
What surprised Fang Jishi again was: the young Confucius! This big, skinny boy with a bamboo pole is born with great strength!
Fang Jishi estimated: The strength of the young Confucius is not under the Yang Tiger!
What surprised Fang Jishi even more was that the young Confucius was not only a genius in literature, but also a genius in martial arts. He can learn and use it on the fly, and if you teach him a trick, he can test it with a guard on the spot. Hey! If the guards don't pay attention, they will really be taken down by him.
Meng Pi had been standing aside and watching, and when he saw that his younger brother was not only smart, but also as good at martial arts, he was so excited that he burst into tears. Seeing that the mound or the guards were jumping over, he was so frightened that he limped and jumped to avoid it.
When everyone saw Meng Pi's appearance, they all snickered in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud. This Meng Pi is good, but he was born with a disability, and everyone doesn't want to hurt his self-esteem.
"Actually! You can also learn martial arts! While the guards were serving as a sparring partner for the young Confucius, Fang Jishi came to Meng Pi's side and said.
"Me? I? Meng Pi naturally couldn't believe it, and asked: "I can't even stand on my feet, can I still learn martial arts?" ”
"You can learn a sword!"
"Learn the sword?" When Meng Pi heard this, his nose twitched on the spot, and he had the urge to cry.
Is! Which pot is not opened? He didn't want to talk about it! This, this, this?
The mention of "sword" reminded him of taking away the sword that his father had left for his brother.
"You can learn to knife too, or! Learn weapons such as daggers and short sticks for self-defense ....... ”
"Me? I? ......" Meng Pi was so frightened that he stepped back, as if hiding from the plague god.
"With your intelligence, you can be an official! You are not a disabled person! You have some physical disabilities, but you are not mentally disabled. If someone recommends you, you can also be an official, and you can give full play to your wisdom and talents to do things for the people......"
"Me? I? ......" Meng Pi couldn't believe it when he heard it. But! Seeing that Fang Jishi was serious, he paused.
Seriously! If you want him to be an official, he is really unambiguous.
When his father was still alive, although he had a leg disease, but with his father's support, he still formally and systematically studied a course necessary for the nobility. He was a man of culture and a Kochi. But since his father's death, coupled with the suppression of Shi's family, he has become a useless disabled person.
"As a taxi! As a nobleman! You can learn swords, learn swords! In the future, you will have the opportunity to become an official, and if you have the opportunity to use a sword or a saber, you will be able to use it. Furthermore! In this troubled world, there is no harm in learning one or two self-defense skills......"
Under Fang Jishi's persuasion, Meng Pi no longer backed down and nodded.
Fang Jishi asked the guards to find a branch for Meng Pi to use as a sword, and then taught him the most basic ways to use the sword.
"One sword in hand, two swords walking! So! Having a disability in the leg is not a problem! You can stand still and wield your sword to defend yourself against the enemy......"
