Chapter 043: Long-term meal ticket
Entering the Gongsun Mansion, Qin Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Gongsun Mansion is like a garden, although it is made by people, it is like opening from heaven.
Walking in the garden, as if reading poetry, this is the ubiquitous poetry of the yard.
Everywhere in the painting, no scenery in the poem.
Pavilions, halls, buildings, pavilions, pavilions, all lose no time in hanging a pair of couplets, often the finishing touch, appropriate.
The spring willow is light, the summer lotus is beautiful, the autumn maple is thick, and the winter plum is fierce.
See the smoke and rain in spring, the green lotus in summer, the cinnamon and red maple in autumn, and the snow and plum in winter.
The sparse bamboo makes shadows, the residual lotus listens to the rain, the Tongyin orchid, and the spirit of seeing a flower and a tree all have a very lofty idea.
The hill is planted with pine, the shore is planted with willows, the vines are hung in the mountains, the lotus is placed on the water, the cinnamon is planted in the garden, the ancient house is surrounded by plums, the bamboo is sparse along the wall, and the plantain is established.
There are willows by the pool, the branches are slender, soft, soothing, graceful, and graceful.
There is bamboo in the garden, the four seasons are distinct, the flowers bloom and fall, and the bamboo is evergreen in all seasons.
A grass and a tree, a window and a scene, mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions, pavilions and corridors, all are exquisite.
In the garden, there is really poetry everywhere, and the eyes are full of picturesqueness.
Qin Xu felt that he was a soil leopard, which was really eye-opening, and the whole person was sublimated a lot.
The buildings of Daxia are mostly simple, practical and magnificent, where is there such a beautiful garden?
The master here must be a man of poetry and books.
Not long after, the doorman led Qin Xu to the backyard.
This is a martial arts arena, with weapon racks on both sides, which are full of weapons, mainly swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
More than a dozen young boys and girls practiced weapons in the martial arts arena.
A Confucian with three strands of long hair shook his head and looked at it, commenting from time to time.
"Mr. Li, this Mr. Qin Xu came to apply for a teaching job, and asked Mr. Li to take a test. ”
Mr. Li nodded and smiled, "But!"
The doorman left, and Qin Xu arched his hand and said, "There is Mr. Lao Li." ”
Mr. Li smiled and said, "What kind of weapon are you proficient in?" ”
Qin Xu nodded with a smile, walked to the weapon rack, and took a three-foot long knife.
"Just use a knife. ”
Mr. Li's eyes flashed with imperceptible disdain, he reached out and took off the sword at his waist, and said: "I am good at using swords, the sword is the weapon of a gentleman, the king of a hundred soldiers, the holy product of the ancients, the supreme and noble, and the people and gods are worshipped." ”
Qin Xu could feel the rejection of this Mr. Li, he didn't think so, if you want to use a sword, Shenxiao Sect should be the first in the primeval world, and if you want to use a knife, he thinks that he is the first in the primeval world.
The meaning in Confucian culture requires that you stand upright and not take the wrong path. "Junzi" is the idealized personality of the Confucian sage. A gentleman takes benevolence and righteousness as his own responsibility. A gentleman is also brave, but the premise of courage must be benevolence and righteousness, which is the legitimacy of the cause. A gentleman should be just right and be modest. The double-edged body is straight and pointed, horizontal and vertical can hurt people, and the stab can penetrate the armor. The so-called double blade means that when you use a sword, except for stabbing blows, one edge is aimed at the enemy, and the other edge is directed at yourself. This type of system just reflects the benevolence of a gentleman, equality and humility, and not the character of open-mindedness. And the appearance of the sword is upright and straight, just like the gentleman's conduct, "straight through the outside", the implication of being upright as loose jumps into it, impartial, upright.
The knife shows a kind of fierceness and determination, and the emphasis is on breaking the skill with force, unlike swords, guns and other weapons that are often varied and win by skill. So since ancient times, the knife has been the most domineering weapon for killing. The knife represents domineering and fierceness.
On the other hand, kendo is different from a sword, and kendo represents the highest level of swordsmanship.
And the knife, the channel.
In Qin Xu's view, the knife is the Tao, and the Tao is the knife!
In a sense, the sword is closer to the avenue than the sword.
Mr. Li drew his sword, the sword light was like a pool of autumn water, and with a shake of his hand, the sword light flowed on the sword, obviously the swordsmanship was extremely high.
Qin Xu stood still, with the long knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife pointed obliquely at the ground.
The children of the Gongsun Mansion who were watching and some servants of the family, their eyes shining and whispering.
Mr. Li frowned, this Qin Ruin doesn't seem to know how to use swordsmanship, and his clothes are in tatters, could it be that he came here to mess around? Gongsun Mansion is not a place to mess around, he doesn't have real skills, so let's go back.
As soon as the long sword was unfurled, Mr. Li stepped forward, and the sword danced, like a windmill, fancy and beautiful.
The two were only ten steps apart, and this Mr. Li performed dozens of swordsmanship, as if he was showing off his swordsmanship.
Qin Xu stood with a knife in his hand, smiled slightly, and slowly raised the long knife, which slowly stabbed forward without any fancy feelings.
Jingle bells!
A crisp voice came out, and Mr. Li only felt that the long sword was shaking, and it was difficult to hold it, and he was knocked out by a huge force.
The long sword was taken off, but Mr. Li couldn't stop, and in the eyes of others, he still rushed forward bravely.
In fact, Mr. Li himself knows that he just can't stop it.
Qin Xu put away his knife, raised his hand, and did it in one go.
Mr. Li happened to hit Qin Xu's arm, if Qin Xu hadn't collected the knife in time, he would have been afraid that he would pass through his chest, and the gods would be difficult to save.
"Accept!" Qin Xu smiled: "Mr. swordsmanship is excellent, Xiaosheng admires it." ”
Mr. Li's forehead was slightly sweaty, knowing that Qin Xu was saving face for himself, and this person had to continue, otherwise his old face would be lost today.
"Huh. Mr. Li smiled dryly: "Yes, you are new to the city, and it is necessary to take care of one or two as a senior." ”
Qin Xu smiled, threw it casually, and the long knife fell on the weapon rack, and the two of them talked happily and talked in detail.
After a while, Mr. Li and Qin Xu walked one after the other to stage the martial arts, and Mr. Li said in a deep voice: "This is the new teacher Mr. Qin, I think you have also seen his sword skills, if there are anyone who is willing to learn knife skills, you can study knife skills with Mr. Qin." ”
Qin Xu arched his hand and showed his presence.
Dozens of children of the Gongsun family present were of different ages, the oldest was in his twenties, and the youngest was only six or seven years old.
Cultivation is a compulsory course for the children of the Gongsun family, but swordsmanship and swordsmanship are different from practice, which requires not only qualifications, perseverance, but also a little spirituality.
Swordsmanship is the mainstream in the ancient times, and among the Confucian disciples, it is the mainstream in the mainstream.
With a knife, I always feel that it is not like that, is that still a Confucian disciple?
What's more, the Gongsun family is a member of the Yashengmen, how can they cultivate a crude and unbearable sword technique?
Dozens of people drooped their heads, and only a seven or eight-year-old boy raised his head and looked at Qin Ruins proudly, with pride and a little curiosity.
Mr. Li is a little embarrassed, his swordsmanship is still good, but his cultivation will not be successful, these gentlemen of the Gongsun family, there are not a few who have cultivated more than him, and it is normal that he can't suppress the field.
