Chapter 37: On Martial Arts

"Come and drink" Somewhere in the academy, two people sat around a table, a few dishes on the table, two jars of old wine, and an iron pot. The firewood below is burning, and the pot is boiling and tumbling, but it is a pot of dog meat, full of aroma. One of them advised him to drink

The other person picked up the wine glass and drank it, "I can't imagine that eating dog meat in this midsummer is also a taste, and I really enjoy it with this wine." ”

"Of course, how can it be inferior wine to invite Brother Chen to drink, this is a twenty-year-old flower carving, and I have wasted a lot of silver taels, and now I can be said to be shy in my pocket. "It turns out that this is Li Feng.

"Brother Li will also be short of money? You have a lot of oil and water in charge of logistics, and it is easy, I can't envy it." Chen Jun quipped.

"Is there anything more relaxed in the whole academy than you? Even the dean is not as chic as you. You see, at this time, other instructors may still be where to guide the students, and what are you doing?"

"You're drinking, you don't know how hard I'm working, I'm tired!"

"Of course you're tired, so you sleep a lot and eat well. ”

"That's the truth haha." The two looked at each other and smiled, then raised their glasses and drank together.

"It's really comfortable". Chen Jun is still sighing.

"By the way, the kid I introduced to you is good, I regret giving it to you at the time. Li Feng said.

"Who do you blame for the logistics of your own application, but I remember this favor. The little guy is very good, and he will achieve more than us in the future. Chen Jun sighed

"Where's that little guy from Senior Brother Yang?"

"He's not bad, the change is amazing, I also like it very much, and I am sure that I will be taller than his father in the future. As he spoke, he took another piece of dog meat.

"You have to use snacks, but you can't lose two pieces of jade," Li Feng said sincerely.

Hearing this, Chen Jun stretched out two fingers and pointed at Li Feng, "Okay, you Li Feng, I said why are you so generous today, it is a flower carving, and it is dog meat, it was originally a person who accepted benefits and came to be a lobbyist." ”

"Die, do you still eat it? eat me and drink me, and count me down, beware of me pouring this pot of dog meat!"

"Don't, don't," Chen Jun hurriedly stopped, for fear that Li Feng would really waste this pot of deliciousness.

"Come and keep drinking. Li Feng invited the cup

"No, don't drink, there's something to do today. Chen Jun refused

Li Feng pushed open the window and looked outside, it was still early in the morning, and there was no twilight. "What's wrong with you today? It's still early," something strange Chen Jun's abnormality.

"You lobbyist has said to be serious, if I don't take it seriously, I'm sorry for your flower carving and dog meat. "It's very arbitrary.

Seeing that Chen Jun was really in trouble, he no longer stopped him and let him go.

In the wooden house, Jiang Hai had been sitting cross-legged for a whole day, quiet and empty, and the true qi was constantly running in his body, constantly expanding his blood veins and bones. But I felt something strange on my body, this movement was not like the wind blowing, so I opened my eyes, and saw the little monkey sitting on his right shoulder, staring at himself. Reaching out and touching its little head, the little guy looked happy.

"Where have you been all day?

The little monkey's big eyes kept turning, as if thinking, and then chattered about something, although Jiang Hai didn't understand it, he knew that the little guy didn't say it at all, hiding himself. After getting along for so long, I naturally know its habits. It doesn't say it, it doesn't force it.

Looking at the side again, Yang Fan was also sitting cross-legged, not knowing when it started. Look, it's not much away from the tutor's agreement, and I'll come back to check my homework in a while. If you have nothing to do, you will tease the little monkey.

Scratching the little monkey, the little monkey grinned and kept dodging, but how could he avoid Jiang Hai's hands and shoot left and right. can only face the sky, chirping, but also joy.

Because of this, the little monkey's bulging belly was exposed in Jiang Hai's eyes, how could he let it go, and his five-fingered fingers tapped on it like playing a piano. The little monkey shouted and used his little hand to play with Jiang Hai's hand.

I don't know what the little thing ate, but a fragrance floated out of my mouth. It has the aroma of fruit and can also refresh people's hearts. Although it is only a residual aftertaste, it can also capture the aura in it. The fruit is unusual, and the little guy is also lucky. No wonder I don't answer no matter how I ask, it turns out that it's really a monkey spirit.

"Why are there only the two of you, what about the two girls?" Chen Jun asked when he returned to the wooden house and saw that he only saw Jiang Hai and Yang Fan

Yang Fan heard the voice of his mentor, opened his eyes and replied, "I don't know where I went, I haven't come back since I left in the morning." ”

"So, then forget it, you two start, and you can have a good answer on this day."

"Not waiting for them?" Yang Fan asked.

"What are you waiting for? No one is there at the appointed time, so I can't think of the answer and hide, or I just find a fun place and am reluctant to come back. Leave them alone, you can talk about it first. ”

In fact, Chen Jun guessed correctly, at this moment, Yang Fu and Cuizhu are having fun on the second floor of the East Courtyard, and poor Xu Ming's collection has given the two of them a thorough play, as for Chen Jun's confession, it has already been thrown out of the clouds.

Seeing that the tutor said this, Yang Fu could only give up, but in her heart, she blamed her sister for being ignorant, and the tutor's intentional teaching could be forgotten. Sorting out his thoughts, he said: "The decline of the martial arts sect, what should we do, after I think about it, the problem lies in ourselves, because the flaw of the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the ant *** department is the most difficult to pay attention to, and there are several ways." ”

"First, twist the coarse linen into a rope and break all the sects into one piece. Think about why the Taoist Buddhism is strong, because of the gathering. If the inheritance continues, the sect will not disperse. If all the sects in the world are united, why worry about foreign enemies. ”

"Second, strengthen yourself and become one of the strongest in this world, so that those behemoths want to get a piece of the pie, and they have to think about whether they have the ability. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and my martial arts can also be sheltered by it. ”

"Third, after breaking and standing, the so-called big waves and sand leave pearls. We survive the fittest, discard the dross, and leave the elite. Given time, these elites can also form an unstoppable force. ”

"It's just that these three points are extremely difficult, and none of them can be successful in a while. Alas!" Speaking of Yang Fan, he sighed. That's all the disciple thought about. ”

Chen Jun listened carefully, without any expression throughout the whole process, and did not comment as usual. Yang Fan was a little discouraged when he saw this situation, and thought to himself, it seemed that the tutor was not satisfied with this answer. Let's hear if Jiang Hai can impress the mentor.

"Tell me what you think," Chen Jun looked at Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai also thought about it, and then Wu spoke: "What should we do if the martial arts are in decline." At first, I was just like my brother thought, unifying the sect, strengthening my body, and standing up. Even abandoning martial arts and opening another faction is involved. ”

But I also thought about the drawbacks. Isn't this the purpose of the current martial arts disputes, but thousands of years have passed, and there is still chaos and darkness. Even from the beginning to unify the martial arts to the current struggle for power among the sects, the sects are fighting fiercely, so this is not a solution. ”

"Strengthening one's own body, this method seems reasonable, but it also treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Let's not talk about how difficult it is to reach the top of the martial arts. Even if you achieve a peerless martial god, you will have a hundred years of peace. But what will happen to the martial arts after a hundred years? Can you still remember what the scene was like in the world after the fall of the pre-Qin Dynasty? At that time, the martial arts will be as chaotic as the world was at that time, and this is not a desirable method. ”

"As for breaking and then standing, it won't work. It's hard to ask us to wield our swords. Slaughtering the weak with one's own hands in exchange for an uncertain future? It is not good to spend time and effort.

There is also abandoning martial arts and setting up another faction, which is just adding another member to the dispute. ”

"These are the thoughts I have been thinking for a morning, meditating on them, thinking about them over and over again, and overthrowing them, and I am in pain." "Until I opened my eyes and saw the tree". Jiang Haidun, you suddenly pointed to a tree on the side of the road.

Sailing, Chen Jun looked at the tree Jiang Hai was referring to almost at the same time, it was just an ordinary tree, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, and he didn't understand the relationship between the decline of this martial art. can only wait for Jiang Hai's explanation.

"I see in it casualness, inaction and luck. "The fall of leaves is inevitable and unstoppable. What can it do as a tree? No, it can't do anything, it just does nothing. ”

"In the same way, what can we do when the martial arts decline? As the tree changes in seasons, it falls leaves. What about martial arts? It also changes according to the fortune of the times. The law that the combination of the long will be divided and the law of eternal traces will be combined. ”

"Moreover, in ancient times, the human race and the beast race competed for the hegemony of the world. Think about how powerful the beast race is, the physical body is strong, the mana is monstrous, and the number is also as many as the human race, and there is a unicorn phoenix to lead. But why did it end up that weak humans dominated the world? The unicorn died, and the phoenix disappeared. All beasts return to the deep mountains and old forests, only because of the fortune of heaven and earth. ”

"Is the fortune of this heaven and earth against or not? At present, we can't go against it, so let's do nothing. Therefore the student thinks that the tutor's problem is that there is no way, at least not at the moment. ”

After Jiang Hai finished speaking, every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and he only said that his mouth was dry, and he didn't know if the tutor could accept it, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart. Secretly looked at Chen Jun, and saw that there was no joy or anger on Chen Jun's face. Don't say good, don't say bad.

Yang Fan was happy, and it seemed that Jiang Hai's answer did not satisfy the tutor.

In the end, the tutor just spat out a few words: "Remember your answers and do what you think is right." Then he went into the house and lay down on the chair, closing his eyes, not knowing whether to meditate or rest.

Seeing that the day was about to pass, Yang Fan went to the cafeteria, and by the way, he looked for his naughty sister, leaving Jiang Hai and Chen Jun as mentors.

Jiang Hai saw that it was going to be dark and pick up an axe to chop firewood. Bang bang, it's slower than usual, because there are more things on it.

"Jiang Hai, come here. ”

Hearing the mentor's call, Jiang Hai immediately rushed to him.

"What you said earlier about casualness, non-action, and luck should be the Taoist concept, where did you hear about it? "I didn't open my eyes when I spoke.

Jiang Hai felt the good intentions of his mentor, and asked himself when Yang Fan left, he should have noticed something, and waited for himself to confess. But how can this be confessed? The battle of antiquity is known from the books of the previous life. This Taoist theory comes from Zhuangzi. If it is true, it may happen to him, and after weighing it, Jiang Hai still decided to confess.

"Mentor, when I was a child, I was physically weak, and I learned the method of health preservation with an old man, and those were all taught by him. After speaking, he waited for Chen Jun's reaction.

The mentor waved his hand, "Go ahead." There was no movement.
