Chapter 9: Qingyan Fist
This set of Qingyan boxing is a kind of boxing popular in the Song Dynasty, a total of seventy-two styles, is to imitate the movements of Feiyan to create, the posture is beautiful, the action is fancy, but there is no actual combat value, just a kind of performance boxing art. Yi Jiuxiao knew that Qi Guo basically didn't understand martial arts, and if they performed advanced boxing skills, they would definitely not be able to understand it, and it was not as good as this Qingyan boxing.
Yi Jiuxiao has a light body since he practiced Kaitian Boxing, and he is two or three zhang high in a jump, and it is the most suitable to perform this Qingyan Boxing, only to see that his body seems to turn into a spring swallow, flying in the air, winding around the beam, copying water and wind, and performing these seventy-two styles to the fullest, which is breathtaking.
After the performance, Yi Jiuxiao closed his body and stood upright, and then hugged his fist at Liangyu, waiting for her evaluation, but there was no sound for a long time, which made Yi Jiuxiao a little panicked and very worried. Whether it's good or not, there must be a conclusion, just when he was uncertain, Liangyu's voice sounded.
"Good, good, good, this is the best dance I've ever seen, and you can stay." ”
said "good" three times in a row, it turned out that Liangyu was intoxicated by Yi Jiuxiao's performance, and she was still reminiscing after the performance, so the evaluation was delayed.
Huang Sheng didn't have much hope, he went to the song and dance workshop just to complete the errand, and after listening to Liangyu's evaluation, he was very surprised to know that he had succeeded, and hurriedly stepped forward to express his gratitude. It was the first time he had seen Yi Jiuxiao practice boxing, although he didn't understand it, he also knew that it was good-looking, and it didn't feel simple.
Originally thought that the test would be very difficult ended easily, Liangyu asked Yi Jiuxiao to report to the song and dance workshop the next day. Yi Jiuxiao followed Huang Sheng back to the Huang Mansion, there was basically no need to pack his luggage, there were few things, mainly to say goodbye to the head of the family, Huang Luo, the Huang brothers were kind to him, Yi Jiuxiao was grateful, and he just waited for the future to repay.
There are not many new students in the teaching hall, even Yi Jiuxiao is only eighteen, including five men and thirteen women, all of whom are young people, the youngest is only eight years old, and the oldest is only thirteen years old, Yi Jiuxiao is one of the older ones. These freshmen have to be trained for a few years before they can perform in full-fledged performances, and the length of time varies, and if they don't perform well during this period, they will be eliminated and go home, so everyone works hard.
The new students also have a salary, but it is much lower than the official Kabuki, only one or two silver per month, and even so, it is more than grazing to earn money, he only has five silver per month in Luowu Mountain, not that Huang Ce is stingy, but in a remote mountain village, the salary is originally small.
What Yi Jiuxiao lacks most now is money, reincarnated in this world, at first he was a little beggar, and then he was a cowherding baby, he was poor. So he also cherishes this job, although he doesn't like it.
The training of boys and girls is separated, and the boys are led by a teacher named Xin Song, who gave Yi Jiuxiao a stage name called Jiujiu, which made Yi Jiuxiao confused and embarrassed, but there was no way, he used his stage name in the song and dance workshop. The other four boys also have stage names, namely Huhu, Fengfeng, Niu Niu, and Mu Mu.
Mu Mu is only nine years old, Fengfeng and Niu Niu are both eleven years old, Huhu is the oldest, thirteen years old, and the five children all eat and live in the song and dance workshop, and they are not allowed to go home all year round. The accommodation is not bad, the five people live in two rooms, and the daily life is also self-care, and the clothes and meals are provided by the song and dance workshop.
The daily training time is relatively long, under the leadership of the coach, a variety of basic dance skills training, in the middle of the teacher to teach some dance movements, practice some simple dance skills. The other students all felt very hard, and after returning to their residence every day, they all covered their heads and slept soundly, for Yi Jiuxiao, these were easy things, and he insisted on practicing Kaitian Fist every night.
Why is it difficult to advance after the Open Heaven Fist reaches the fourth layer, Yi Jiuxiao pondered and meditated many times but couldn't figure it out. There is no explanation in the Open Heaven Sutra, and he has no master to solve his doubts, so in the end it can only be attributed to the natural success, but he still insists on cultivating every day, and insists on what he should insist on, this is Yi Jiuxiao's character.
Teaching Xi Xinsong to train with five children every day, he saw the difference between Yi Jiuxiao, without the naivety of children, but with a calmness that surpasses ordinary adults, persistence and perseverance in doing things, which made him quite sigh. In the end, it can only be attributed to the fact that this child may have suffered too much, and he has matured one step earlier, and he doesn't know that although Yi Jiuxiao is a teenager's body, he has the memory of an adult in his previous life.
Because Yi Jiuxiao has solid basic skills, learning any dance is easy, Xin Song likes it very much, and a month later, Yi Jiuxiao was appointed as the captain of the boys' training group to assist Xin Song in managing the team members, Yi Jiuxiao himself is very diligent, and manages the affairs of the group in an orderly manner.
In the blink of an eye, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the State of Qi attaches great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival, believing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is the night of the full moon, which indicates auspiciousness and reunion. Therefore, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, various activities began to be organized on a large scale, from officials and businessmen to civilians were preparing for the festival, and the song and dance workshop also received a lot of performance tasks, including those from the state capital and wealthy businessmen.
The kabuki usually has only forty or fifty kabuki, and the salary is allocated by the state government, and the performance fee is also relied on, and the performance task is not very full, and the performance income is not very large, so the number of kabuki raised is limited, and it seems to be stretched thin when it comes to important holidays.
On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Taeju Taishou decided to rejoice with the people and urged the state government to hold a series of celebrations. As a subordinate organization of the state government, the song and dance studio naturally obeyed the arrangement and dispatch of the state government and participated in performances to help the fun, and almost all kabuki were transferred to the state government activities and no longer accepted other folk performances.
There are exceptions to everything, just when the song and dance workshop was fully preparing for the performance of the official activities, it suddenly received an invitation that the old lady of the richest man in Kaizhou Mansion had a seventieth birthday, and asked the song and dance workshop to arrange personnel to perform in the house. This Wanjia is not only the richest man, but also the Xiuzhen family of Kaizhou, there are several masters in the clan in the Qi Dynasty, Dongting Hou Wan Tianfeng is the person of the Wanjia, is the eldest son of the birthday star Wanmu, was canonized by Qi Jun as the general of the border, and guarded the border all the year round, which is very appreciated by Qi Jun.
Although these ten thousand families are not domineering and domineering in Kaizhou, they are also stomping and trembling three times, that is, Kaizhou is too guarded to be in awe, and how dare the owner of the song and dance studio offend. But all the kabuki were transferred by the state government, no one was available, the ten families could not afford to offend, and the state government could not afford to offend, and the owners of the song and dance studios were really in a dilemma.
The owner of the song and dance workshop is named Liangyue, who is the sister of Liangyu, the owner of the teaching hall, and the two sisters entered the song and dance workshop together. In desperation, Liangyue discussed with her sister Liangyu how to deal with Wanfu's invitation.
Liangyu must be doing her best to share her sister's worries, but she couldn't do anything after thinking about it, and suddenly she had an idea, and thought of Yi Jiuxiao, a young man whose stage name is Jiujiu, and a set of swallow dances during the original interview moved her from the bottom of her heart, if Yi Jiuxiao was allowed to perform in Wanfu, she might be able to cope with it.
Liangyue expressed concern about her sister's proposal, a twelve-year-old child who had just entered the song and dance workshop was really uncertain about going to Wanjia to perform. Seeing that her sister expressed distrust, Liangyu proposed to let Yi Jiuxiao perform and take a look.
Yi Jiuxiao was called to the rehearsal room, he was summoned by the owner for the first time, as a freshman, he usually teaches and guides, not to mention the owner, it is the hall master Liangyu, and he has not officially faced it after the interview.
Teaching Xi Sen Song accompanied Yi Jiuxiao to the rehearsal room, and after the two of them met the owner and the hall master, Liangyu didn't say his true intentions, but just said: "Jiujiu, you will rehearse the swallow dance during the interview again, let us see if you have grown after entering the song and dance workshop." ”
"Yes", Yi Jiuxiao hugged his fists, walked to the middle of the field, and stood in the center of the red carpet, now he is wearing a regular dance uniform, tight sleeves, and a wide belt waist, and he can perform on the stage, without changing clothes and equipment.
Standing in the middle of the field, he did not perform immediately, but pondered for a moment, after more than two months of dance training, he also gained and understood, of course, this has nothing to do with his martial arts. He felt that although the swallow boxing he performed at the beginning was light and erratic, it was too stiff for dance, which was the difference between martial arts and dance, martial arts mainly focused on technical strikes, followed by the grace of movements, and dance was the opposite.
The seventy-two forms of Qingyanquan were all over in his mind, and he rearranged and combined all the movements, combined with the advantages of his own physical strength and the characteristics of the dance, and modified some postures and movement sequences.
Liangyu and the other three looked at Yi Jiuxiao standing in the middle of the scene, and did not perform immediately, but closed their eyes and pondered, they were all puzzled, Liangyu wondered if the child had forgotten the swallow dance, Liangyue and Xin Song thought that Yi Jiuxiao was stage fright and did not dare to make a move, but none of the three of them urged loudly.
It took half a pillar of incense for a long time to see Yi Jiuxiao move, he was not as heavy as last time, and he put on a fist and foot posture. Instead, his hands were raised, and he walked sideways, looking like a milk swallow begging for food, with his hands crossed and waving, it seemed that the milk swallow opened its mouth hungrily, and in the continuous change of his hands, the milk swallow opened his mouth, swallowed, and chirped one by one.
