The chair has simple and regular lines, but when you sit on it, it is comfortable and exudes a light cypress fragrance along with the table in front of you.

At this moment, what Lu Qiming is reading is a volume of calligraphy and painting in "Qinglu Brush Talk". Looking at it, Lu Qiming realized that most of this book was written by a certain powerful person for the younger generations for enlightenment.

In contrast to the overwhelming momentum of calligraphy, the tone of the narrative in the volume is very gentle, and the content is not obscure and difficult. For example, in the volume of "Calligraphy and Painting", there is a lot of talk about the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and there are also some calligraphy and ink painting skills, but each article has a big atmosphere in the subtleties, and you can practice by reading it.

Lu Qiming guessed correctly. Since its publication more than 200 years ago, "Writing Talk" has received great repercussions, and now it has become a compulsory course for many clans in the Divine Domain. This year's freshman college selected five volumes of "Pen Talk" as the title, which is also the meaning of the Taoist Academy - the replacement of the Yan era, and the prosperous and troubled times. In recent years, the sound of wind and rain has gradually been heard, and the Taoist Institute also hopes to find more fresh blood from each branch.

Therefore, although "Pen Talk" only accounts for 30% on the surface, it is valued the most of the three, and there are many opportunities for extra points. For those with superior understanding, this alone is enough to steadily enter the Chinese martial arts.

Lu Qiming had some speculation, but he didn't care, he just read the book slowly and attentively, closed it, and put it back in its place. He stood up and walked to the outer edge of the stone chamber, sat down cross-legged again, and placed the Nian Ci knife on his lap.

Look at the green mountains and green waters, the vast sky, and then look down at the knife.

Unlike most famous knives, the Nian Ci knife is not carved and decorated, and only the ancient inscription of the word "Nian Ci" is engraved on the side, which becomes more precipitated and restrained after being soaked in cinnabar.

Anyone who knows a little about refining tools knows that the selection of knives needs to look at the "forging pattern" - after the refining tool is repeatedly folded and tempered, the blade will show a clear and regular texture pattern. The forging pattern represents the strength and toughness of the knife. However, at first glance, the front and back of the knife are as flat and bright as a mirror.

But this is not to say that the Nian Ci knife is not forged; Lu Qiming penetrated the blade with his spiritual power, and he could feel the countless patterns arranged in zigzags, and the towering wings were like waves of flowing water. It is precisely because it is so dense that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. This is the true realization of the unity of the rigidity of the blade and the toughness of the blade.

The delineation of the blood groove is the most aura. From the root of the blade body to open the system, the starting gauge is condensed, and then with a rounded arc along the knife forward, and finally in the tip of the knife from wide and narrow to the sharp pen, and the tip of the knife is as natural as nature.

Lu Qiming's gaze at Nian Ci Dao never took his eyes off, and time passed silently.

The volume of "Calligraphy and Painting" has been completely and clearly engraved in Lu Qiming's mind the moment he closes the book, and if it is really summarized according to the rules, Lu Qiming can easily evolve all the 21 martial arts techniques mentioned in the meantime.

However, none of this made sense to him.

Therefore, Lu Qiming had no intention of answering the questions one by one from the beginning. "Qinglu Writings" may be one of the references, and he is still thinking about his own practice in the end. For example, the Nian Ci knife that is quietly placed on the lap like this.

Looking at Nian Ci Dao now, it is inevitable that there is a familiar and unfamiliar feeling. After all, kendo is very different from kendo.

There are indeed many martial arts techniques that can be used by swords, and even through knives, they can also use superior sword techniques - for example, Lu Qiming used the Nian Ci Knife to evolve the Lifeless Sword in the past. But the Confusing Sword can only be used for a while, but it is impossible to climb to the top.

Even if the user has a different temperament, the true temperament of the sword and the knife will remain constant for a long time.

The sword is "sharp", and the weight of the knife is "stable".

The way of the sword is uneven, and the way of the sword is flat.

The way of the sword is unstoppable, and the way of the sword is more than dominant. This "bully" is not a bully who overlies, but a natural and ordinary overlook when he is in a high place; this "surplus" is not a hidden cowardice, but a "surplus" that can attack and defend freely and with ease.

Different people who use knives will also derive a thousand different outward temperaments under the core premise - or wild as a wave, or as fast as the wind, or as changing as electricity......

For Lu Qiming, the most desirable thing is to simplify the complex and take its original meaning. Of course, this is also the best for him.

More suitable than kendo.

Lu Qiming's expression was momentarily complicated, and he quickly calmed down. Then, he raised his gaze slightly.

The air in the stone chamber has the freshness of the mountains and forests and the coolness of the sky. Sunlight streams through the high, gritty walls, revealing sharply edged contours that intertwine with shadows.

Look farther.

The mountains and rivers are clear, the stratus clouds are rendered, and the nine flowers are gone. Heaven and earth are in sight.

Lu Qiming smiled slightly, closed his eyes and concentrated.

......

The pavilions and halls of the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Academy are numerous, and there is one of the most majestic and majestic among them, and the word "Imperial Guard" is inscribed on it. The master of the Imperial Guard Department is "actually fighting", and the atmosphere in the world is still martial, and the total number of teachers and students is undoubtedly the largest among the four major departments of the Chinese martial arts.

Today, all the facilities that had been placed in the main hall have been removed. In the empty and high hall, countless light curtains are suspended and arranged, which correspond to the stone chamber on the wall.

Nearly 100 pairs of desks and chairs were placed on the opposite side of the light curtain, but unfortunately, except for the student teaching assistants who had been brought in to do hard labor, the 30-odd teachers in charge of invigilating and grading were all around the hall -- all of them were lying on the chairs lazily, many of them were meditating and practicing on the wide table, and a few even went around to the area where the teaching assistants were teaching on the spot.

As for Zhuo Zhiqiu, the dean of the Imperial Guard Department, he stood side by side on the beam of the room with another man in black.

Zhuo Zhiqiu's eyebrows are ordinary but very majestic, and he looks like a middle-aged man. And the black-clothed man's face looked younger than Zhuo Zhiqiu, as if he was only thirty, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a ranger spirit.

At this time, many light curtains were dull in color, and it seemed that no new life had yet reached the wall. Zhuo Zhiqiu glanced at the man next to him and said with a smile: "Lao Li, I think you have been promoted to another level." ”

Li Cangbo let out a "hmm" in the field, and only remembered something after a while, and frowned: "Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday?"

Zhuo Zhiqiu saw his expression and knew that he must have been thinking about cultivation again, and said helplessly: "I mean, you are all high-level and have the title of 'lecturer', what does this make other teachers call you?"

Li Cangbo said without thinking: "No one calls me in the first place, don't they all walk around me?"

What are you talking about?Zhuo Zhiqiu had a headache and sighed: "Don't talk about the high level, look at the Great Zhou Tian of the Martial Academy-is there anything lower than a doctor besides you?" he sighed again and persuaded: "With your ability, you can casually summarize and explain the sword techniques you have created in the past few years, and it is absolutely no problem to be promoted to a doctor." ”

"My ears are calloused," Li Cangbo rolled his eyes and said confidently: "Lao Tzu doesn't have that time." ”

Zhuo Zhiqiu kicked over and said angrily: "You still come over to make trouble if you don't have time?" This time, there was no Li Cangbo in the list of teachers who invigilated the exam.

I didn't see Li Cang's fluctuation, but I felt that his figure was slightly illusory for a moment, and he easily avoided Zhuo Zhiqiu's shadowless legs. He swept his gaze over the light curtain in front of him, squatted down and sat on the beam boredly, and said quietly: "Find my apprentice." ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhiqiu's eyebrows immediately raised, and he was shocked: "You lazy thing actually accepts apprentices?!!"

"I don't know - it's not confiscated yet. Li Cangbo waved his hand, pointed to the main hall of the Department of Mathematics in the east, and said with a lazy smile: "Didn't Qin Jieyu calculate a hexagram for me last month? ”

"It's Dean Qin's hexagram? Zhuo Zhiqiu nodded clearly. He is the dean of the Imperial Guard Department, and Qin Jieyu is the dean of the Department of Mathematics, but they are not familiar with each other, because Qin Jieyu is really eccentric and moody, and it is difficult for Li Cangbo to have a good relationship with her.

The next moment, both of them cast their eyes on the top light curtain at the same time - the first student has arrived!

It's a girl in a goose yellow dress.

Li Cangbo raised his eyebrows, slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Beautiful! I like it! Or the first one to come up--my apprentice shouldn't be her?"

Zhuo Zhiqiu said speechlessly: "It's rare that Dean Qin didn't tell you about men and women?" He glanced at the line of words that lit up under the light curtain: "Lu Ziqi, the third order of martial arts." Zhuo Zhiqiu recalled her posture when she first appeared in the light curtain, and said lightly: "Who should have brought this little girl up?" ”

Before the words fell, the light curtain juxtaposed with Lu Ziqi also lit up. After Zhuo Zhiqiu saw it, he teased: "This one may be your future apprentice - provided that you can snatch people." ”

One line of words: "Lu Qiming, Xiao Zhou Tian is in the middle rank." ”

"Yo, it's pretty good!" Li Cangbo looked at the young and even slightly immature face in the light curtain, and sighed in admiration. He tilted his head and asked Zhuo Zhiqiu: "What's the matter? This kid is very famous? His surname is Lu...... People of the family. However, the people of the Lu family are not very likable. ”

Zhuo Zhiqiu showed a smile on his face, and he was interested: "This kid also had a fight with their Lu family some time ago. ”

"Is it really fake? Isn't he from the Lu family?" Li Cangbo was curious to ask again, but when he saw Lu Qiming's gaze in the light curtain looking straight at them, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Did he find out?"

Zhuo Zhiqiu nodded and smiled: "That's right." I heard that not long ago, he also used the formation to solve the siege and killing game of 29 Xiao Zhou Tian by himself. Seeing Li Cangbo's flat expression, Zhuo Zhiqiu remembered that he had also encountered a similar situation, so he leisurely added four words: "Kill ten people." ”

Li Cangbo looked shocked at this time, and muttered: "All of them are from the family?" Seeing Zhuo Zhiqiu nodding, he sighed: "That's really powerful." ”

After knowing each other for so many years, Li Cangbo has only been convinced by a handful of times, and Zhuo Zhiqiu was in a good mood, so he briefly recounted the information about Lu Qiming.

"Looking at this kid's harmless appearance, I didn't expect that there were a lot of big things to be tossed. Li Cangbo smiled and said suddenly: "But I can't afford an apprentice like him." ”

Zhuo Zhiqiu smiled in surprise: "This is not like what Li Cangbo I know would say!

Li Cangbo replied simply: "Feeling." ”

At this time, the two of them saw Lu Qiming put down the scroll, sat down in an open place, and then took out the Nianci knife, and they both smiled.

Zhuo Zhiqiu shook his head and smiled: "I didn't know that he was cultivating the Dao of the Dao. ”

"Let's take a look at it again. Li Cangbo's eyes turned to a newly lit light curtain nearby, and said softly, "Someone has arrived again." ”
