Chapter Seventy-Two: The Triad of Yin and Yang
He Duan, who was barely literate, shook his head blankly: "I don't know." ”
Meng Qi held the book in his left hand, picked up the wine jug with his right hand, poured himself a glass, tasted it, swallowed slowly, and finally said: "This sentence is controversial, there are great Confucians who refer to the triad, the qi of yin, the qi of yang, the qi of heaven, the energy of yin, the energy of yang, the energy of heaven and the nourishment, the combination of three qi, all things are born, and there are also great Confucians who read ancient books and give another explanation, the three, the mixture, the mixture of yin and yang, the transformation of the universe, and the evolution of all things, so the poem asks who is the ontology and who is the evolution." ”
He Du was like a duck listening to thunder, full of confusion, only to feel that what Mr. Su said was like a book from heaven, so he could only murmur: "Mr. Su, how do you think it should be solved?"
"Tai Chi, the state of chaos is not divided, its movement is yang, its stillness is yin, one movement and one static are the roots of each other, one yang and one yin are the same, and they are mutually regenerating, so if you ask who is the ontology and who is the evolution, it will change with the situation!" Meng Qi did not directly interpret the poem, but tried to answer this question.
He Du became more and more dazed, feeling that his head was not enough, and he couldn't understand what Mr. Su said at all, so he could only answer uh-huh.
After answering, Meng Qi smiled leisurely: "This is the principle of heaven and earth, it can naturally be reflected in martial arts moves, after the shot, the moves contain yin and yang, each other is born and muted, changes with the situation, changes with the enemy, and touches each other, it can be yin, it can be yang, it is difficult to distinguish." ”
This is the high and high truth, Meng Qi from the "Tianwen" comprehension, but after all, the truth is empty and abstract, although many people understand, but to really reflect on the move martial arts, reflect in the details, it is very difficult, can only slowly figure out, it is best to have a similar martial arts for Meng Qi to reference, then you can quickly understand this essence, can be used in swordsmanship, and even the essence of all martial arts.
Now that I think about it, Yao Xiaogui's yin and yang swords are somewhat similar, and if he really takes the path of swords and swords in the future, this will also be one of the general outline ideas.
When it comes to martial arts moves. He Du finally understood a little, and said in a low voice: "Some moves are both yin and yang. ”
"It's not the same. Meng Qi shook his head and smiled, "The important thing is He Ben and He Hua." ”
I don't understand...... He Du looked at Meng Qi with a blank eye: "Mr. Su, is there an answer in the poem?"
Meng Qi smiled: "No, the whole article is asked, and the question of the spirit on the nature of heaven and earth may not be unfathomable, but if anyone can answer these questions one by one, then it really touches the principle of heaven and earth, and it is the same question." Different masters have different answers, and different solutions lead to different paths. ”
"Oh. "I still don't understand...... He Du felt more and more that Mr. Su was a profound person, and then remembered his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Su, I ...... today."
"I'll wait until I'm done. Meng Qi pressed down with his right hand, put down the wine glass, and continued to chant "Tianwen":
"The circle is ninefold, who is the camp?"
......
"On the occasion of the Nine Heavens. Placing an enrollment?"
......
"The sun and the moon are safe, and the stars are safe?"
......
In the empty and cold courtyard, the sound of reading is soft and clear, and the sound is in the ears. It's like asking the heavens and the earth.
The dried plums are old, the fire is red, the fire is like a seedling, and the aroma of wine is overflowing.
Although I don't understand this quaint poem. But He Du had a feeling that his mind was gradually calming down, and the previous joy, anxiety and apprehension seemed to slowly disappear with the sound of reading, and his heart was washed away.
Troubles are gone. Pure and pure, He Du forgot about the pressure and sorrow, and only felt peace and joy.
"Won today?" Suddenly, he was "woken up" by Mr. Su's warm voice.
"Yes. He Du looked at Mr. Su's face, although he may only be four or five years older than himself, like an older brother, but he has a mature temperament, has something to say, and after getting along for a long time, he will really be regarded as a gentleman who reads poetry and books.
"The first fight...... "He Du explained the process of the fight in detail, and said at the end: "Thanks to your guidance, Mr. Su, the master of the hall let me participate in the martial arts competition. ”
He waited for another consultation.
"Martial Arts Hall Dabi?" Meng Qi held the "Tianwen" book in his hand and did not answer the rhetorical question.
He Du knew that Mr. Su was a scholar who concentrated on studying, so he explained: "Yedu martial arts are extremely prosperous, but the Wang family is powerful, and there are fewer families in other sects, and it is difficult for many people with aspiring martial arts to have the opportunity to cultivate. ”
"After laying a good foundation, whether it is to go to the sect to apprentice, or to participate in martial arts, it is possible to make a reputation. ”
"The wind of the martial arts hall has been a hundred years, there are many martial arts halls in Yedu, and there is no shortage of secret competitions, and later the eight martial arts halls such as the Chiyang martial arts hall are mentioned, which is held once every three years, and each hall sends outstanding disciples to participate in the ranking and determine the ranking, because of the great influence and wide range, Zhoujun Wang's family, Huanhua Sword Sect, Yedu Huang's family, Chaoshengmen, Luoxia Shenjian Gate, etc., will send people to watch, select outstanding people, or become disciples of the sect, or enter the family to practice, and will be a guest in the future. ”
He is not very old and illiterate, so he should have stammered and made incoherence in such a complicated matter, but it seems that the owner of the He Pavilion often tells them the meaning of the martial arts hall competition, so he talks eloquently without a little blockage.
"Zhou Jun Wang's Clan, Huanhua Sword Sect ......" Meng Qi repeated in a low voice, in the past six months, except for Qi Zhengyan who often came to learn, and occasionally looked at the list of people and the masterpieces of Zhou Jun, he was almost out of touch with the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and now when he heard the familiar name again, he was a little emotional.
After drinking a glass of wine, Meng Qi looked at He Du with a smile: "So you're worried that the 'story' is too simple when you participate in the martial arts competition?"
"Yes. He Du said a little shyly, this is exactly what he came here for.
Meng Qi stood up, paced in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Indeed, your current story is too simple, only the beginning and the end, and the other party is not from your martial arts hall, so it is not easy to be affected by this story, hehe, your response to the second competition is actually good, you know how to use your brain, and you can teach your son." ”
Being praised by Mr. Su, He Du couldn't help but curl his mouth, this is his proud work.
Meng Qi turned his head to look at him: "So, you have to prepare more complex and delicate stories, let them indulge, and let them consciously jump into the trap." ”
"Mr. Su, how should I prepare?" He Duan subconsciously held his breath, expecting guidance.
Meng Qi thought for a while and said: "Storytelling with swordsmanship is a very interactive thing, after you tell a paragraph, you have to anticipate the other party's reaction, or guess in advance the other party's possible responses, and then prepare different plots, so that the other party unknowingly falls into your preset story trap." ”
"For example, after using the 'Thousand Sails of the Sea', the opponent may take the lower abdomen, or he may slash condescendingly, or he may ...... If you want to respond in time, you have to keep your previous moves ......"
"Of course, the right thing to do is to make the other party have to follow your story and only make a few choices, but you definitely can't do it now......"
Meng Qi used "Listening to the Tide Swordsmanship" to "weave" a "story" that was not too long but not short, and each interaction corresponded to a plot, which was complex and complex, and it was within He Dui's understanding, after all, it was a swordsmanship learned every day, but he didn't remember it very well.
He gritted his teeth, swallowed dates, forcibly memorized, and waited until he went back to rehearse every story and explain every trap.
"Remember?" Meng Qi looked at He Du with a smile after finishing the compilation.
He Du nodded vigorously: "Remember!"
After speaking, he said suspiciously: "Why does the story have to be made up like this, and why does the other party have to deal with it like this?"
"That's a good question, the son can be taught!" Meng Qi laughed, this is the real core essence, "But it's useless for you to know at the moment." ”
He Duan didn't entangle, and said with a little more confidence than just now: "Mr. Su, I'll leave first." ”
"Go back, don't be nervous. Meng Qi patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Use your sword to tell them a good story." ”
When He Du left and the courtyard door closed, Qi Zhengyan walked out of the room and said with a little contemplation: "Why do you want to point him out the principles of swordsmanship?"
Even he, after listening to Meng Qi's story, he also had a lot of enlightenment, and he had a new feeling about various swordsmanship in the past.
Meng Qi smiled and said, "A superficial reason, a real reason, Senior Brother Qi, which one do you want to hear?"
"The superficial reason ......" Qi Zhengyan was fooled many times and decided to do the opposite.
"I'm pondering and cultivating the layout of the sword, trying to move from simple to complex, so I borrowed the hand of Xiao He Dui to make up stories to share with opponents who have never met or seen their moves, and see how the effect is, which is like arranging a chess game in advance and inviting people to enter the game at will. Meng Qi looked serious.
Qi Zhengyan bowed his head slightly, this reason is good, it should be so, if it weren't for the fact that he is more inclined to the Heavenly Treasure now, he would have to give it a try.
He took a light breath, "Is this a superficial reason?"
This should be the real reason!
Meng Qi smiled: "The real reason is only four words. ”
"Huh?" Qi Zhengyan was a little curious.
Meng Qi turned his hand away from him: "Idle, willful." ”
A cold wind blew, a plum blossom fell to the ground, forming ice crystals, Qi Zhengyan's face twitched twice, and his clenched fist slowly loosened: "Your gems, I have exchanged them all for silver tickets." ”
Considering his own channels and concentrating on cultivation, Meng Qi asked Qi Zhengyan to help exchange the gems obtained from the horse bandits for silver tickets, so that he could buy sharp weapons and long swords without attracting attention.
Qi Zhengyan had many "bosses" in Ye, and he didn't dare to move too much, so it took half a year to slowly replace all the gems with silver tickets, totaling 12,700 taels.
"Langya Qianzhuang, hey, the snack merchant's ......" Meng Qi muttered with a smile when he saw the silver ticket.
Qi Zhengyan thought for a while and advised: "The martial arts hall is quite important, if you want to continue to hide your tracks and not be noticed by the rivers and lakes, it is best to stop in moderation." ”
"Well, I'm measured. Meng Qi nodded solemnly and began to think about waiting for the purchase of a sharp weapon and a long sword. (To be continued......)
