Chapter 36: Sword Practice
Qi Rong finished freshening up, I also went back to the house to freshen up, and then we went downstairs to the master, after a while, I saw the wolf Hao with Xiao Zuozuo, at this time it was already dawn, the two of them first followed me to warm up for a while, and then we began to take a horse step, and the master has been playing with the sword, only to see Zuo Zuo's eyes look straight, so fascinated, so envious that I feel that I want to learn that feeling. The master said that if you don't practice the sword for a day, you can only practice it for a long time to be like flowing water, but I don't know when I want to pierce this horse.
Coincidentally, when I was still thinking about when I could practice simple movements again, the master felt that my horse steps were almost complete today, and he could teach me the movements. The master asked me to show him the simple movements I had learned a few days ago. I tied up my sleeves, and got up first, my little face was awe-inspiring, and my eyes were blazing, like that, and I let out a loud shout in my mouth, and punched out, and my body twisted into a fist.
The master stopped and stepped forward to point out to me: "This palm is pushed out with inch strength, it must be ruthless quickly, the five fingers are opened, and the palm is slightly concave, so that it can be lethal." ”
"Master, why don't I practice with a sword when I practice swords, why do I practice boxing first?"
"It's a waste of sword practice for you to practice with a sword now, and you can only practice sword when you have good skills and strength! If you don't have a good foundation, you can't practice well. The master patiently explained.
"Master, master, can I also practice the movements?" Zuo Zuo shouted, and the villain looked eager to try.
"Young Master Ying, you still have to practice horse walking, Ling Gongzi has practiced horse walking for some time, I am not your master, and I don't have time to teach you every day, as the saying goes, if you don't practice ten days a day, don't learn swords if you can't practice every day, then forget this master." When Gongzi Rong enters the palace in the future, I can still teach it every day. It's just that this sword practice seems simple, but in fact, seven points depend on hard work and three points depend on understanding. The master looked at the three of us and said.
This made Qi Rong very happy, and immediately knelt down and bowed: "The master is worshiped by the apprentice, and the master has any rules to come back and make up for it." After saying that, he kowtowed three times, the master still took it, and it seemed that he was really willing to accept him, but now Zuo Zuo was in a hurry, tearful, wanting to cry and endure that, afraid that the master would laugh and be even more reluctant to accept him as an apprentice, and felt that it was not easy to meet a good master, but he did not accept him. The master also couldn't bear to say after seeing it: "Doesn't Ying Gongzi want to be a general, if Lord Qi agrees, you will go to the guard camp to report every day after you come back to the city, but you can learn martial arts before learning morality, learning art and etiquette first, Ying Gongzi still wants to be civil and military, I can only teach martial arts, and Wenli will go to the Imperial Academy." ”
"My brother will only start going to school at the Imperial Academy next year, can I practice swordsmanship with my master this year?" Qi Rong asked tentatively.
"Yes, then Young Master Ying will come to the guard camp every day after returning to the city." If the master says so, he agrees.
"Thank you, master." The three of us said in unison.
The rest of the time before breakfast, I was practicing the new moves, and Qi Rong and Zuozuo were still continuing to do their horse steps. Xiao Zuozuo is still a little smaller, his legs are shaking after practicing for a while, and the sweat has been dripping, so the master told him to take a break and continue to practice. He only stood up and moved his muscles and bones, drank saliva and continued to practice, this perseverance and determination are really real!
"It's almost time to practice, let's go to breakfast, how do you arrange it today? Go to Yongzhou Mansion with Lord Qi to inspect the work? ”
"I'm going to the government office in the morning." I said, I still have to find out about the situation.
"Then let's go have breakfast, let's all disperse, and gather on the first floor after eating." The master spoke.
"I still want to practice for a while," Zuo Zuo didn't want to go.
"Young Master Ying, don't be in a hurry, go to eat first, you can grow your body after eating a full meal, and you can practice your sword when you are healthy and strong, and you can practice for a while in the morning if you are fine." The master looked at Zuozuo and said.
"Yes, the apprentice will follow the master's teachings." Left left stood up. Everyone dispersed.
