Chapter 48: Gifted as I am
Hua Kai nodded when he heard this, and he continued: "I was born in Shannan Dao, my family has been poor since I was a child, and I have a brother, Yuelan's father, my parents died early, and only our brothers depend on each other......
"Later, I wanted to jump into the dragon gate through the imperial examination, but I didn't know that my qualifications were really dull, and I was over 30 years old, and I was still just a low-ranking person. And my brother has been brave and ruthless since he was a child, I was obsessed with the imperial examination, and I didn't know when he joined a gang, until one day he appeared in front of me with blood all over his body and Yuelan in his arms, he was too injured to go before he could say a few words. Later, I was afraid that I would provoke the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes again, so I took her away and hid in Pingding Village, and I hid for more than ten years......"
No wonder Hua Kai felt that he was not an ordinary person, he was a scholar and had participated in the imperial examination. In these years, the gold content of the word "scholar" is not ordinary, and the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was also the most stringent in all dynasties, and it was definitely not a big road commodity that could be called a talent after reading a few books.
The candlelight and moonlight were intertwined, reflecting on Zhang Deshun's face, which looked slightly low and desolate, and he didn't know what to say, so he thought about it or asked, "That uncle, haven't you thought about revenge?" ”
Zhang Deshun shook his head with self-deprecation on his face and said, "What revenge?" Fighting in the rivers and lakes, either you die or I die, since he set foot on this road, he should have such an awareness, is it only allowed for you to kill, not for people to kill you? ”
Although this is true, but after all, there is some affection, Hua Kai feels that Zhang Deshun should not be such a person, and his following words also confirm this.
"Over the years, I have abandoned literature and martial arts, practiced the swordsmanship passed down at home, and secretly investigated the cause of his death, wanting to avenge him. I only knew that he was just ordered by the Jianghu gang to hunt down and kill a Jianghu person, although he killed that person, he himself was seriously injured and died, how can I take revenge? ”
Well, this should be someone else who should come to him for revenge.
Hua Kai couldn't help but vomit in his heart.
"My few rough swordsmanship is a secret book passed down by the family, but I was originally just a scholar, only with a secret book, naturally practiced swordsmanship in a mess, and then was seen by a passing chivalrous warrior, that person angrily scolded a bullshit, and said that it was unbearable for me to be so bad at swordsmanship, and pointed me out for a few days, and then drifted away."
Hua Kai was interested in this kind of plot similar to that in martial arts novels, and asked when he heard the words: "Does Uncle Zhang know who that person is?" ”
Zhang Deshun shook his head and said: "That hero is indeed a swordsman, I wanted to worship him as a teacher, but ...... You also know that after more than ten years of practice under the guidance of this hero, my swordsmanship is still a mess, and I can't even beat a bandit, but I'm too stupid to get into his eyes. Therefore, he only instructed me for a few days and then left, without even leaving my name. ”
"That's the case, it's a pity......"
"It's a great luck for Deshun to get a few days of guidance, and there's nothing to be sorry for."
Zhang Deshun only thought that Hua Kai was a pity because he couldn't worship that person as a teacher, but in fact, it was because Hua Kai didn't hear the revelations he imagined.
Lao Zhang's life experience can be regarded as embarrassing, but when he first set foot in the rivers and lakes, Hua Kai inevitably had too many reveries, such as Lao Zhang's earth-shattering secrets, what peerless secrets, what earth-shattering treasures, or what amazing life experience, what gate traitors, outcasts, or blood feuds, etc., so that he had to live incognito and shrink his tail.
But it turns out that he thinks too much, not to mention whether there are those twists and turns and bizarre, and even if there is, it is not so coincidental that he will run into it.
Seeing that he was still a little immersed in the sadness of the past, Hua Kai patted Uncle Zhang's shoulder with a grin: "Uncle Zhang, since the matter has passed, you don't have to think so much, a good man, there is nothing that cannot be overcome." If you have the opportunity, you will know in the future how vast this world is, and your heart is too small to tolerate this world. ”
Hua Kai said something.
Lao Zhang didn't know what he meant, so he just took it as some comforting words and nodded: "After all these years, I have long forgotten about it, and now I only hope that Yuelan, the child, can live his life peacefully in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Hua Kai is also a little heavy, after all, the death of those villagers and Zhang Yuelan's unconsciousness are all his heart problems, which reminds him of the guilt of his unbearable self.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Now, that's all he can say.
He didn't like this kind of mother-in-law, mother-in-law, sad and relatives atmosphere, so he directly changed the topic: "Uncle Zhang, can you teach me your family swordsmanship?" ”
After practicing the broken book for so long, I can't practice only two tricks, and I can't even see the door at all, Hua Kai never believes that "the talent is peerless like me", it will be because of brain problems that I can't learn, it must be because this boxing scripture is too broken, not suitable for him, only suitable for Jiao Da's stupid big man.
It's still good at swordsmanship, handsome, and more in line with his peerless style of painting, and he will definitely be able to practice well.
Well, that's right, that's right.
Hua Kai held this belief seriously and asked Uncle Zhang very religiously.
"Childe wants to learn, naturally there is no problem, it's just ......"
Hearing that there was a play, Hua Kai's eyes lit up: "Are there any other rules?" Do you want to apprentice? I can! ”
Uncle Zhang hurriedly shook his hand: "Hey, that's not, it's said that it is a family swordsmanship, but in fact, it is just a chance that my father got it by accident from nowhere, and it is not worth cherishing, but this swordsmanship is not easier than the two moves you practiced before, and although this swordsmanship is not very profound, it is also a swordsmanship in the door, which is much more difficult than the two types of foreign boxing, you ......"
His central meaning is actually just one sentence: You are a layman, you have no foundation at all, and you want to run before you learn to climb? Why don't you go to heaven?
Apparently he is a very considerate subordinate of the boss, and he is too embarrassed to say it directly.
"It's a matter of people."
Of course, Hua Kai could hear what he meant, but he refused to give up and was cheeky and strong.
Zhang Deshun nodded and said: "In this case, then I will first tell my son about my swordsmanship, this swordsmanship is obtained by chance from my father, called 'Sancai Swordsmanship', taking the righteousness of heaven, earth and man, there are nine strokes, and each move has nine styles, a total of nine hundred and eighty-one styles, although it is nothing in the rivers and lakes, but it also has a bit of subtlety, if it was not for the guidance of others, I could not practice, but ......"
"If you really want to learn, then you have to learn from scratch, swordsmanship, not just practice a sword, hands, eyes, body, steps, indispensable, practice to the depths of the essence, strength, energy, heart, and mind must be more compatible, this is also the seven-character formula taught by the predecessor when he instructed me, the world's swordsmanship, probably not separated from these eight characters, is the foundation of swordsmanship. In fact, there are not only swordsmanship, such as fists, palms, knives and guns, martial arts in the world, it is better to be, the so-called martial arts practice is not practiced, and the end is empty. The key to this eight-character is 'gong', which can only be practiced hard, and it is not clever at all. ”
"I have dull qualifications, I have practiced for more than ten years, only the four characters of hands, eyes, body and steps can still get started, and the three words of mind and qi are only 'qi' to touch some thresholds......
Speaking of this, he showed slight remorse on his face: "If I have achieved something in this 'qi' word, I may not be an opponent in the face of that robber thief, I am really worthy of the guidance of my predecessors, Childe, just this 'hand, eye, body' four words, I'm afraid I can't get started without a few years of hard practice, if you want to learn this swordsmanship, these four words are indispensable, can you think about it?" ”
Hua Kai originally listened with a look of fascination and anticipation, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little cold, looking at this meaning, if it wasn't a few years, he wouldn't even be worthy of touching the sword. But he is not a weak-willed person who gives up easily, and it is even more impossible to give up before he starts, so he quickly nodded resolutely......
