Chapter 14: Stubborn self-confidence
"I was originally going to go out of the division today, passing through Yuzhou to recruit talents for the soldiers. I didn't expect to meet such an interesting person as you, it's really worth the trip. Changping Hou said to Li Changsheng: "Although you are very talented, you still have a long, long way to go...... But I'm looking forward to your rise to serve our Han Empire in the future!
After saying that, Changping Hou pulled down the mask, then turned around and galloped away. And the twenty red-blooded iron horsemen behind him also followed him away.
Li Changsheng took the token and sighed with emotion. Changping Hou is right, his future road is still very long, he is only now in the fifth level of the Qi Spirit Realm, and he can be regarded as just getting in touch with the cultivation path, and the powerhouses of the major sects and academies are like forests......
The matter has come to this point, and this sect selection conference in Yuzhou City can be regarded as a paragraph, and the representatives of the major sword sects have left one after another. This selection meeting was supposed to be the stage for Lin Yueyue and the Tianhai Sword Sect, but due to Li Changsheng's out-of-the-box appearance, Lin Yueyue and the Tianhai Sword Sect returned home, and Li Changsheng also became the most dazzling one.
This time it was the representatives of the Haoyue Sword Sect who were most happy, because they had recruited another genius. Of course, the other Sword Sects were not as disappointed as they imagined, but they just felt a little regretful. After all, the Han Empire is so big, and there are countless geniuses who can cultivate swordsmanship.
"Li Changsheng, wait a minute!" Just as Li Changsheng was about to step off the martial arts stage, a representative of the academy stopped him. The most disappointed this time were the representatives of those academies, there were few geniuses in the scholarly lineage, and they finally met a Li Changsheng, but he chose to join the Sword Sect.
"What advice do you have from your seniors?" Li Changsheng paused and asked.
"Don't dare to advise, I just want to ask if there is a full poem in those sentences just now, can you chant it for us to enjoy?" said the man, while the other college representatives also looked at him expectantly. Even if you can't admit him to the academy, it's good to listen to the poem he just wrote. Those three sentences just now have made them very amazing, and if they can't see the whole poem, they will feel very regretful.
"What's so difficult about this?" Li Changsheng said in a low voice: "The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars." I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I drew my sword and looked around in a daze......"
"Good!" As soon as Li Changsheng finished reading the first four sentences, the representative of the Confucian Academy applauded loudly, "The opening is very extraordinary! The first two sentences are very atmospheric, drinking the wine of Dadou and the delicacies worth 10,000 yuan, which fully shows the free and heroic spirit of the host. The four continuous actions of stopping, throwing, pulling, and caring vividly show the inner depression and the turbulent changes in feelings. The words are so precise that they are almost impeccable!"
"That's good!" The Taoist Academy also shook his head and said: "When he encounters depression, he is not depressed, or he uses wine to kill his sorrows, but he draws his sword and looks around, which shows the revenge in his heart! Even if you encounter setbacks, you should not be depressed, it is the high-spirited scholarly style!"
Just the first four sentences, they began to comment endlessly. There are even people who analyze it word by word, carefully studying the usage of each word. It's no wonder that they, they are all people who have cultivated scholarly powers, and of course they will be excited when they see good poetry, just like a drunkard who has tasted a jar of fine wine.
Their words were almost full of exclamation, and even a few who wanted to find fault with them couldn't find anything wrong. And Li Changsheng just looked at them with a smile, waiting for them to taste it slowly. I thought that this "Difficult to Walk" is a famous poem that has been passed down through the ages by the poet Immortal Li Bai, how can you easily find fault?
"What about the back?" After savoring the first four sentences, someone remembered to ask Li Changsheng about the following.
"If you want to cross the Yellow River, you will climb the snow-covered mountains. Idle fishing on Bixi, suddenly take a boat to dream of the sun......" Li Changsheng continued to read.
"What a 'if you want to cross the Yellow River and ice Sichuan, you will climb the Taihang Snow Mountain'" Before Li Changsheng finished reading, another person shouted loudly, "The entire Yellow River is frozen, and the snow is piled up all over the Taihang Mountain, which is majestic and magnificent!"
"And the last two sentences are fishing, dreaming, but delicate, so that these four lines of poetry are both rigid and soft!" Another person said, "Poetry is a symbol of character, and being able to make such verses shows that the poet's character is heroic and elegant, but not gentle and delicate." ”
Otherwise, these two sentences are in use. Someone retorted: "In the past, Jiang Shang was ninety years old when he was fishing in Qiangxi and met King Wen. Yi Yin once dreamed of taking a boat around the sun and moon by himself, and was hired by Shang Tang. The meaning of his two words was that he remembered the two of them, and he regained his faith. ”
Of course I understand what you said, but that's just the literal meaning, a good poem pays attention to the artistic conception, not the words. They started arguing.
"Okay, let's not discuss that, let's listen to the next few words of him. "The beginning of the Confucian Academy came out to play a round.
"It's hard to walk, it's hard to travel, it's too divergent, and it's safe today? There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!" Without waiting for them to ask, Li Changsheng directly read out the last four sentences.
As soon as the last four sentences were pronounced, the people in those academies fell silent. It's not that they don't want to applaud, it's that they can't think of anything to cheer on. Such a shocking poem can no longer be described by words such as 'good' and 'wonderful'. The first few lines of the poem are all foreshadowing, and these last four lines are the essence of the whole poem. If this poem is described as a dragon, then the last two lines give the dragon an eye.
With this finishing touch, the dragon is no longer an ordinary sculpture, but a living fetish! The whole poem together is a peerless masterpiece, and it is no longer amazing to describe it in two words.
Especially the last two sentences, 'There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea'. Although these two sentences are just straight to the chest without any gorgeous embellishment, the positive spirit, the kind of mind that gets rid of hesitation and depression, are vividly displayed, and they sing the strongest note full of confidence and prospect.
"What a stubborn, confident teenager!" a voice said softly, "The ice and the Yellow River are full of snow and Taihang are not depressed, but they have made a bold statement that the wind and waves will be long." ”
The first person to speak was actually the head of the doctor's family, Bian Suwen, who looked at Li Changsheng with a pair of beautiful eyes. Li Changsheng's talent just now made her impressed, but that was just optimistic about his talent. And now the stubbornness and self-confidence shown in Li Changsheng's poems made her heart ripple slightly.
The cultivation of the doctor relies on receiving medical books, which has little to do with poetry and songs, but she has always liked beautiful poetry...... After sighing, she turned around and quietly left the seat of the academy's representative. Since it was a foregone conclusion that he would join the Sword Sect, there was no point in staying for him now.
"It's a great song that will last forever, and your talent in the book is amazing. Li Changsheng, it's a pity that you choose to practice swordsmanship instead of cultivating scholarly supernatural powers. After a long while, the representative of the Confucian Academy spoke.
"Indeed, if this poem had been written by us, it would have been a pity that our cultivation would have been raised to a great level. The representative of the Taoist Academy also said. Scholars rely on writing poems and books to improve their bookish spirit, and writing good poems requires more talent. Many scholars often fall into bottlenecks, and it is difficult to improve for a long time.
"Thank you for your love, but cultivating swordsmanship is my life's wish, I won't give up easily, as for cultivating scholarly powers, I can only look at the opportunity in the future. Li Changsheng said.
"You can comprehend the three swordsmanship from the poems, your talent in swordsmanship is indeed amazing, no wonder those people from the Sword Sect are vying to recruit you. If you want to break away from the Sword Sect one day, we at the Confucian Academy welcome you to join us at any time. ”
"If there is a day, I will definitely join the Confucian Academy!" Li Changsheng said with certainty.
In fact, Li Changsheng also wanted to join the Confucian Academy very much, and it can be said that in addition to the Sword Sect, the Confucian Academy was his second choice. In the history of Chinese culture on the earth, Confucianism occupies an absolutely important position, and Confucianism here also has Confucius and Mencius and other sages, so Li Changsheng is eager to see their demeanor.
Moreover, the supernatural powers of the Confucian Academy are also very powerful, such as the 'Earth Kunyuan' that emits thousands of miles of yellow sand, the 'Yongzhen' that can live endlessly when stepping on the earth, and the strongest defense 'Huangshang Yuanji'...... These are just the tip of the iceberg of Confucianism's supernatural powers. and their sages Confucius, Mencius, and Dong Zhongshu, who was the national teacher of the dynasty and founded Shinto, are all super powerful beings...... The foundation of the Confucian Academy is too profound.
did not join the Confucian Academy, Li Changsheng did not regret it, after all, learning swords was his dream, and if he wanted to learn swords, he had to give up temporarily. Fortunately, Changping Hou gave him the token of the Soldier Academy, so that he could learn the Soldier's Divine Power. can learn both swordsmanship and military supernatural powers, which can be said to be the best ending for him today.
As for the Confucian Academy, it can only be said that there are some regrets.
There was also a reason why he chose the Haoyue Sword Sect over other Sword Sects. First of all, Cangyue City, where the Haoyue Sword Sect is located, is relatively close to Yuzhou, and he can rush back as soon as possible in the future to participate in the family martial arts. After many young disciples joined the sect, they focused on cultivating and improving their cultivation, and no longer paid attention to worldly things, but Li Changsheng attached great importance to worldly family affection.
Secondly, it is because the first generation of the Sword Saint of the Haoyue Sword Sect was Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, the young son of King Wei Zhao at that time. In the pre-Qin period, he was a super strong man. And he is still one of the four sons, and he likes poetry with an elegant style. He was a corporal and was anxious for people's difficulties, and later when the war broke out, he chose to escape from the world with his confidante. For his character, Li Changsheng still respects him very much.
