The ornamental trees planted in the courtyard are low and scattered, the black pine and the green bamboo depend on each other, the bamboo shadow is swaying, the moss is spreading, the mottled land is scattered, and the gathering is scattered.

This side of the courtyard seems to contain all the heaven and earth, I don't know how many heavens, the corridor is winding and deep, the small bridge is flowing water, and the rockery is craggy.

A young child in a cyan robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, looking excited.

"People are quiet, people are sparse, and the wind moves a garden of flowers and shadows......"

He was not a person from this world, but he lived a new life and came to the pre-Qin period.

However, this life does not seem to be very different from the world he knows.

"It's been a good year, although you don't have a law, you still have some taste."

Suddenly, a voice came, and the young boy raised his eyes to see that a man in a mysterious suit was already beside him.

Dressed in white and with black hair, the nasal groove is like an eagle, the eyes are deep-set, the face is as clear as snow, and the figure is tall and slender.

What is unforgettable is his momentum that looks at the world, and the hands that hold the sword.

As soon as he appeared, the entire courtyard was overshadowed, as if everything in heaven and earth was captured by his edge.

"I wonder who your Excellency is?" The young boy was also calm.

"You don't know me, but I know your name is Lu Nian." The man in white said.

"Your Excellency is here to find your father? I'll lead you there. Lu Nian asked with a change of heart.

"Exactly, take me to your father." The man in white said.

Lu Nian knew that he had an extraordinary background, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he led him to the mansion.

"Father!" Lu Nian knocked lightly on the door and called.

"What?" A gentle but majestic voice came from the room.

Lu Nian replied respectfully: "There is a guest looking for you." ”

Before he could answer, the man in white had pushed the door open and walked into the room.

I saw that the person in the room was wearing a green shirt, with a clear face and an elegant temperament, sitting upright in front of the bookcase, holding a book of green slips.

"It's been a long time since I said goodbye to Jixia School Palace." Lu Yijian put down the green slip in his hand and got up to meet the man in white.

"I'm here to catch up with you." The man in white said.

"Nian'er, you should step back first." Father Lu commanded.

"No." Lu Nian responded, closed the door, and retreated.

"He has quite your legacy, I think he has good bones, and he is a good material for learning swords, are you willing for me to teach him." The man in white said.

"It is his blessing to have your favor, and I am glad to do so." Lu Yi said simply, only with a slight hesitation in his tone, "It's just that I have already found a teacher for him, and I will send him there later." ”

"You're so eager to arrange it for him, but that bad thing has already set its sights on you." The man in white said.

Lu Yijian's heart sank when he heard this, and he said, "They are pervasive, if they have a heart, it is difficult for them to hide them in this world, and it won't be long before they find out to me, and when the time comes, ......."

"I know you have a secret, and that's why they're looking for you." The Baiyi man said, "If they come, come and kill one person, ten people, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, I will kill them, I will protect you." ”

In the words, it reveals the spirit of dominating the world, people are like swords, swords are like rainbows, and they are like bamboos.

"I know hello, but this matter is not as simple as it seems, it is difficult to say what is involved, I don't want to affect you, I have my own plans." Lu Yi said.

The man in white was not annoyed, he knew his character, if he had decided something, no one could change it, so he said, "That being said, I will stay in your house for the time being." ”

"That's fine." Lu Yi said.

"He's said he's coming back." Lu Yijian changed the subject and said, "It's probably going to pass through Dongjun. ”

"You don't want to see him?" The man in white said.

"Now that he has returned, why should I go and see him?" Lu Yijian said with a smile.

The man in white didn't ask much, and then said: "Dongjun controls the Five Kingdoms with one place, with Zhao and Yan in the north and Chu in the south; The east neighbor is Qilu, and if he enters Wei, he will naturally choose this. Besides, he has some scruples in his heart, Dongjun has always been a farmer's station, and he has a lot of friendship with farmers. ”

Lu Yijian knew what he meant, the peasant family had always been anti-Qin, and now although he was ordered by the king to return to China, his future was uncertain, and he could avoid trouble by taking advantage of the farmer's situation.

"Since the beginning of the year, the Qin general Meng Wei led the army to attack, occupying Gaodu and Jicheng, and the Wei army was repeatedly defeated and was unable to resist. Only he can regroup, fight with the Qin army, and regain the rivers and mountains. Lu Yi said simply.

What he didn't say was the rise and fall of a country, and relying on one person would eventually be difficult to support alone.

The man in white was a little silent, and he said to himself, "The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and the conquests are continuous, and the situation of the seven kingdoms will be shattered after all, and the world may be unified by Qin." ”

Lu Yijian sighed and said, "It's just that I will stop fighting and abandon martial arts, and rest with the people, but I will not be able to meet the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror." ”

Although the man in white agreed with his words, he said: "Why worry, just do what you need to do, as for the fate of the world, you and I can't help it." ”

Lu Yijian didn't refute, he knew that he was telling the truth, but why didn't the rivers and lakes get involved in this dispute, and this troubled world was just a prelude.

They are just a flat boat under this fission, and they will capsize and sink if they are not careful.

………

"Shaojun, the meal is ready." A servant said.

Passing through the cloister, I came to the small courtyard, and just entered the house, the dishes have been placed on the table, plus all kinds of tableware, and the banquet occupies the place.

A maid holds a copper basket full of water, and a maid holds a copper plate containing Pan, which is actually rice water, rice belongs to the essence of plants and trees, and rice water has a good decontamination ability.

After Lu Nian cleaned his hands, he took his seat.

Although the food at this time was not as rich as in later generations, it was still exquisite.

Chun boil, cannon porpoise, pounded treasure, cannon basket, pounded treasure, stained, boiled, liver, and meat porridge in the cooking ding, the meal can be described as fine.

Lu Nian picked up a piece of stewed slices and put it in his mouth, which melted in his mouth, delicious and tender.

The maidservant girl on the side scooped a ladle from the ice book into the bronze jue, and Lu Nianjue took a sip, and the mouth was sweet.

Lu Nian is very fond of syrup, which is actually a drink made of sugarcane juice, which is generally used to relieve hangover after drinking.

"Shaojun, can you still keep your mouth shut?" The maidservant asked.

"I'm very satisfied." Lu Nian said, "There are a lot of these dishes, it's a pity to throw them away, you can share them." ”

Coming from later generations, Lu Nian never regarded these servants as inferior, never harsh, always approachable, and had a very good relationship with them.

After lunch, Lu Nian was resting in the courtyard, and suddenly heard footsteps from far and near, and after a while, a figure appeared outside the courtyard gate, it was the man in white.

"I don't know, Your Excellency, what are you looking for?" Lu Nian said.

"Your father ordered me to teach you how to practice swords, and from today onwards, in the morning, before class, and in the afternoon, you will practice swords with me." The man in white said.

In the pre-Qin period, the practice of swords, sword fighting, and swords was very popular, and he had already learned basic swordsmanship from his master.

In this world, which is similar to the ancient times of the previous life, there are martial arts.

When he saw this person yesterday, he felt that this person must be the master of martial arts, and now he can be taught by him, and he is very happy in his heart, who does not have a martial arts dream in his heart, and he goes to the end of the world with a sword.

"Student Lu Nian visited Xixi, I don't know the name of Mr.?" Lu Nian said with a salute.

There is a cloud in the book: "Life is to be cautious, death is to worship, this way of respecting the teacher." ”

The ancients sat on the ground and respected the west, so they called the tutor Xixi and Xibin.

"You are a person who knows etiquette, my name is Cao Qiudao, I will teach you a few tricks today, so as not to be bullied in the future." The man in white said, he took out the matching sword and handed it to Lu Nian.

This is a simple bronze sword, the scabbard is mahogany, the sword body is also unadorned, the whole body is smooth, and the light is slightly cold.

Lu Nian took the bronze sword, this simple sword body had a thick and calm feeling, and the spine of the sword was sharp, as if once the sword was drawn, it could cut down the galaxy.

"The sword is also thoughtful." The man in white seemed to be aware of what he was thinking, "You haven't entered the sword path yet, but you can feel my sword intent." ”

"The kid only feels it occasionally, and he doesn't dare to say anything." Lu Nian said modestly, "I still hope that Mr. will teach." ”

"There are two realms of swordsmanship, one is the sword style, the other is the Italian style, and the sword style is the foundation. Induce qi with intention, induce spirit with qi, meaning for heartbeat, heart for qi condensation, and qi condensation for sword. ”

Cao Qiu said: "In terms of artistic conception, you are still far behind, so I won't show it first." ”

"Now, I'm going to teach you a sword technique, "Flying Flowers and Leaves", and I'll only do it once, you remember. ”

Cao Qiudao has the intention to teach Lu Nian's understanding, and this sword practice should also be taught according to his aptitude.

He casually broke a branch, as if there was nothing in his hand and could not be used as a sword. Suddenly, the flying leaves flew away from the trees like raindrops, and the center was torn apart and scattered in the air.

The flying leaves fell, Cao Qiudao discarded the branches casually, and said lightly: "This is a fast sword method, pay attention to fast, accurate, and stable, as long as you can comprehend it, you can enter the sword skill category." ”

"Sir's swordsmanship is already wonderful." Lu Nian exclaimed, this was the first time he had seen such a miraculous scene, and he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"How much do you understand?" Cao Qiudao asked, he knew that Lu Nian didn't understand swordsmanship.

"I seem to see a little bit of a way, but I know it's hard to do it." Lu Nian replied.

"If you don't have the internal strength and true qi to guide it at this time, you naturally can't do it." Cao Qiudao did not doubt his words, "You don't have to worry, I will teach you." ”

"Mr. Xie doesn't blame the disciple for being stupid." Lu Nian bowed and said.

"The most important foundation for sword learning is not impatient, but step by step." Cao Qiudao said, "Its usage is not more than stabbing, splitting, hanging, pointing, collapsing, clouding, wiping, piercing, pressing, etc., on this basis with sword fingers, plus a variety of footwork, step, jump, balance, rotation and other actions constitute swordsmanship, from today onwards, you will follow what I taught, and begin to practice swordsmanship." ”

"Yes, sir." Lu Nian responded.

Cao Qiudao immediately demonstrated again, only to see that he stabbed forward with a flat sword, reaching the tip of the sword, and the sword and his arm formed a line, and then the sword body crossed an arc in mid-air, and quickly returned to its original position, leaving no trace.

Lu Nian studied very seriously, meticulously, and raised his doubts from time to time, and Cao Qiudao could give answers.

Cao Qiudao saw that Lu Nian was so serious, young and old, and he was even more happy in his heart.

After Lu Nian finished practicing, he said, "That's it for today, you can go and rest." ”

"Thank you, sir." Lu Nian said.

Lu Nian saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Sir, do you want to dine with me?" If there is something delicious, I can tell the kitchen to prepare it. ”

"No need." Cao Qiudao refused, "I still have something to do, so I will retire first." ”

.....…

The night was quiet, only the moonlight was bright.

The lights on the copper lamp in the room were flickering, reflecting a delicate and immature face, and Lu Nian was sitting in front of the desk with a book in his hand.

It's just that there is no paper at this time, and most of the books are bamboo slips and wooden coffins, which is very inconvenient.

"Nian'er, you are also diligent, and it is a lot easier to worry for your father." A voice rang out suddenly.

"Daddy!" Lu Nian looked back, and his father didn't know when he had come to his side.

"Because I learned swords with my husband in the afternoon, I left my homework behind, and I am reviewing the "Language". Lu Nian replied.

"Teach the "Spring and Autumn Period", and for the sake of the good and suppress the evil, in order to admonish their hearts; Teach the "world", and for the sake of showing virtue and abolishing the gloom, in order to rest and fear its movement; Teach the "poem", and guide it to show virtue to show its ambition; The rite of teaching, so that the rules of the upper and lower are known; The joy of teaching is to sparse its filth and suppress its floating; Teach the "language", make its virtue clear, and know the affairs of the king with virtue to the people; Teach the "Old Chronicles", so that those who know how to rejuvenate will be afraid of it. Father Lu said, "You are not only reading, but also because of the clear righteousness, the unity of knowledge and action." ”

"Save the child." Lu Nian said.

"Okay, you rest early, don't work too hard, otherwise your body and bones won't be able to bear it." Father Lu said.

Lu Nian promised and watched his father leave, his figure was still as tall as a pine, and his temperament had not changed much, and he could vaguely see the heroic appearance of his youth.
