Chapter 3: The Years in the Door
Since Li Yi entered the Guigu Gate, he has completely devoted himself to painful and happy learning.
According to the master Tai Jizi, this is called: the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
And according to Brother Liu Yu: This is called the greatest ideal that requires the most down-to-earth efforts to achieve.
Although the two of them said the same thing, Li Yi still felt that Brother Liu Yu's words were more reasonable.
For the usual master's various clouds, mountains and fog covers, Li Yi needs to think for a long time to understand the meaning.
For a long time, Li Yi felt that Master Taijizi was an extremely profound master of the world.
Until one day, Liu Yu secretly gave him something called a diary.
And the author of this diary turned out to be the fifth senior brother Yang Dongguan.
This diary records a lot of conversations between Taijizi and Yang Dongguan.
Liu Yu's sentence: The greatest ideal requires the most down-to-earth efforts to achieve it is from this diary.
And the one who said this turned out to be his master Tai Jizi.
The book also records a lot of what Tai Ji said.
Some of the words are very inexplicable but very philosophical.
For example, the world is fucked up, but we still have to pretend to be happy alive, or the world will only get more fucked up.
You have to be heartless and heartless to treat people who are not worthy, otherwise you can only tear your heart apart.
If a person does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if a person offends me, I will drive that person crazy.
There are two kinds of bragging, one is the one who is addicted to the mouth, and the other is the person who realizes the cow is called the cow man.
······
When Li Yi read these sentences, he couldn't imagine how the master, who usually cites scriptures, could say these seemingly crude but philosophical words.
Sometimes when he lies in bed at night, he thinks about what kind of person his master Taijiko is.
However, every time the next morning, he would be gently woken up by the master with a ring ruler.
And his life is very regular.
Every morning, he wakes up for simple and boring water training, and he has to carry a bucket to the stream below the mountain to carry water up the mountain.
It seems simple, but it has a strict time requirement.
After carrying the water, there is a series of bizarre martial arts training formulated by the master.
These devices were completely different from the stonelock grass men he knew, not only did they look strange, but they were even more strange to use.
There are bars that you can hang on, there are hanging bags that you can hit, and there are various obstacles to run and climb.
According to the master, all five of his brothers had undergone these trainings.
Morning martial arts training is followed by morning food time.
This is also Li Yi's favorite time, because the morning snack every morning is delicious and hearty.
Occasionally, Brother Liu Yu will come over for a morning meal together.
After the morning meal, Taijiko began to impart all kinds of knowledge to him.
These include various subsets of scriptures, customs, and even anecdotes.
This is not at all comparable to ordinary private schools.
What is even more crucial is that Tai Jizi does not need him to memorize without asking for much understanding, but requires him to fully understand these things.
Whenever he couldn't understand the contents of the ancient books, Taijiko would carefully translate and explain them to him until he could understand them.
After teaching every morning, Li Yi had to make lunch by himself.
In this regard, Taejiko also makes this part of his education.
Tai Jizi always scoffed at the words of the sage of the gentleman Yuanku, and he always refuted it with the sentence that the people take food as the sky.
Under the words and deeds of Taijizi, Li Yi feels that his cooking skills are improving rapidly every day.
In less than three months, Li Yi felt that if he went out of the mountains at this time, he could be called a carefree chef with his cooking skills alone.
After lunch, Li Yi had a quiet break.
Because this time is the lunch break of Tajizi.
As for Li Yi, he doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, and during this time, he always has to talk about what he learned in the morning and summarize it so that he can better remember it.
As a result, he also developed the habit of keeping a diary.
Every day, Shenshi Taijizi wakes up on time and starts a new study in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, I will learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, public welfare miscellaneous, and trade and planting.
Until the sun sets, the jade rabbit rises in the east.
In this fulfilling life, Li Yi is completely unaware of the passage of time.
Spring has gone to winter, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past five years, he has grown a lot taller, and his body has become much stronger.
In the past five years, he has also grown from an ignorant child to a handsome young man who can export a chapter and a martial artist who can fight against ten.
In the past five years, Brother Liu Yu has brought the latest situation of five senior brothers every few months.
This made Li Yi, who was stuffed in the mountains, yearn for it.
In addition to his yearning for the mountains, what Li Yi is looking forward to the most is the day when his master arrives.
At first, Li Yi thought that Shi Niang had passed away, because he had stayed in the mountains for about four or five months and had not seen Shi Niang.
At the same time, Brother Liu Yu never mentioned Shiniang, which made it difficult for Li Yi, who had lost his family, to ask.
But half a year later, Shi Niang came back without warning.
The first time he saw Shi Niang, Li Yi was directly shocked by Shi Niang's beauty and was speechless for a long time.
At that time, a poem that the master had said came to his mind: the hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is like a moth, the smile is slight, and the eyes are beautiful.
This poem couldn't be more apt for my wife.
In Li Yi's view, his wife is not only naturally beautiful, but also her temperament that is even more difficult to ignore.
Compared with ordinary women, the master has less gentleness and tranquility, and more heroism.
When she spoke, the master was not the kind of gentle and gentle, low-voiced rambling, but straightforward and full of anger.
Compared with the free and casual master Taijizi, the master and wife seem to be vigorous and resolute.
When Brother Liu Yu is much more restrained and serious in front of his wife, he is completely different from his usual gentle and casual attitude.
In private, Brother Liu Yu also told him that he didn't like to get along with his mother.
Li Yi also had a feeling of discomfort when he got along with his wife.
But he is very much looking forward to the arrival of his wife, because Sister Jing Ning comes with his wife.
Sister Jing Ning is the daughter of Master Taijizi and the younger sister of Senior Brother Liu Yu.
Brother Liu Yu follows the surname of Master Taijizi, while Sister Jing Ning follows the surname of his mother.
Li Yi also didn't understand this, according to common sense, only the son-in-law and the child can bear the mother's surname.
And the two children of the master Taijizi have a father's surname and a mother's surname.
This would never have been accepted in the world.
But neither the master nor the master are secular people.
I heard Brother Liu Yu say in private that his mother was also a member of the sect.
The sect she belongs to is the only female sect in the world: Lihate Palace.
It is said that this sect is full of women, and anyone who enters is killed if they enter.
Therefore, although he is the child of his mother, he cannot enter the palace of hatred and live with his mother.
But as a daughter, although Jing Ning was able to live by her mother's side, she lost most of her father's love.
It is said that daughters are like fathers, but Jingning has perfectly inherited her mother's beauty.
Compared with Liu Yu's slightly feminine handsomeness, Jing Ning's beauty has a male heroism.
In private, Li Yi once joked with Liu Yu and Jing Ning that the two had the wrong gender.
Although Jing Ning looks more heroic, he has completely inherited Taijizi in terms of personality.
She is the kind of woman who is gentle and gentle in her manners.
Liu Yu also said that her sister is a model in "Women's Training", and her character is the benchmark for women in the world.
And Jing Ning is also very concerned about his father's new little apprentice.
Because she lives in the palace of hatred all the year round, it is rare to have a boy of her age to get along.
Therefore, she would happily tell him about her life in the Lihate Palace, and she would also cook all kinds of delicious snacks for him, and even take him to look at the stars in the night sky and tell the myths and stories she had heard.
Although Li Yi has learned all this from the master, he is happy to be a loyal listener, a happy diner, and a loyal playmate.
I don't know when Li Yi felt that there was a trace of indescribability, and things would come to his mind inadvertently.
He does not know where it arises, nor when it will perish.
But this faint thing lingered in his heart like silk.
This kind of thing brings him a feeling that is a hundred times sweeter than honey, and a feeling that is a hundred times happier than that of Master Win.
So Li Yi became obsessed with this feeling, but he sometimes feared this feeling.
Because he was worried that the master and the master would hate him after they found out, he was worried that Brother Liu Yu would cut off his robe with him.
What he was most worried about was that there would be a gap between them after Jing Ning knew about it, and he would never find this feeling again.
Although he was contradictory, he still hid his emotions every day, and then happily followed Jing Ning's side.
The master said that the happy time is happy because it is short.
Every time my wife and Jing Ning came to the mountains, they would stay for ten days and half a month at most.
After that, you have to wait for the next year.
In the past five years, he and Jing Ning have spent no more than three months together.
But Li Yi felt that the best time in his life was less than three months.
However, as he gets older, he and Jing Ning are no longer as close as they used to be.
Even Liu Yu complained to him that Jing Ning and his brother had begun to become alienated.
Li Yi even heard the master complain about the fact that the daughter avoided her father.
After his wife and Jing Ning left three months ago, the master suddenly explained that Li Yi would go out of the mountain with Liu Yu to experience the experience in half a year.
For a man who has lived in the mountains for five years, he has a great yearning for the outside world.
Although he had no worries about food and clothing during the five years in the mountains, and was carefully taught by his master, a restless heart was indispensable as a young man.
Just like the master said: people are not arrogant and arrogant.
In order to make himself have the capital to survive outside the mountain, recently, Master Taijizi suddenly increased his training in martial arts.
This includes the main weapon of your choice: the twin guns
One of these two guns was built for him by Master Taijizi, and the other was built by himself.
One of these two guns is about six feet long, with a cold steel square tip at the front end, a three-edged cold iron gun at the tail, and a fine ash shaft.
The other is about six and a half feet long, the front end is one foot of a thousand-hammer steel eight-sided Han sword-shaped, the tail is a pagoda-shaped forged steel gun, and the barrel is a hollow and detachable hollow steel pipe.
The six-foot one was built by Li Yi himself, and Taijizi named it: Red Sleeve Move.
The six-and-a-half-foot one was hand-made by Taijizi, and the production process involved in it made Li Yi breathtaking.
Especially the hollow steel pipe that can be tightened and disassembled, Li Yi didn't understand how the Taijizi was made at all.
This slightly longer gun was named by Taijizi: Dingfeng Bo.
According to Tai Jizi's teachings, Li Yi usually uses Dingfeng Turmoil as his main weapon, and when he encounters an invincible enemy, he can use two guns to meet the enemy.
Li Yi had been learning the spear for a long time in the past five years, so he thought that the double gun should be easy to master.
But reality slapped him hard.
He is comfortable with either the Storm Wave or the Red Sleeves alone, but once he uses his twin guns, it will completely disrupt his formation.
After thinking hard for three days, Li Yi discovered the problem.
First of all, the two guns should be different in length, so he had to pay attention when using them.
Especially when using the spear, when the spear flies in his hand, the different lengths can easily cause him to make a mistake in judgment and injure himself by mistake.
The second point is that the weight of the two guns is different, which is also the reason why Li Yi is very inapplicable.
Different weights cause different forces to be fed back when wielding the gun, which can easily cause your body to be unbalanced.
The last point is that his left hand is not as flexible as his right hand, and his left hand always has a sense of hindrance when using dual guns.
After discovering these problems, Li Yi began to train accordingly.
Under the guidance of Tai Jizi and his own efforts, he was completely accustomed to these two guns in less than two months.
For more than two months, Tai Jizi began to instruct him on the routine of the two guns and how to deal with different weapons.
Ten days before leaving the mountain, Tai Jizi attacked Li Yi with different weapons.
The result made Tai Jizi very satisfied, and Li Yi had completely mastered the tactics of the two guns.
Cloud guns, bayonet guns, flower guns, pressure guns and even return horse guns, he can convert mellow and skillful.
When he danced the two spears, the two spears were as agile and swift as two shining spirit snakes, and the water could not be splashed.
For Li Yi's marksmanship, Tai Jizi only used a short sentence to evaluate: Although my disciple is young, his marksmanship is not inferior to Long Mengqi.
Hearing the master's praise made Li Yi very complacent, so he casually asked the master how he compared to the second and third senior brothers.
After listening to Li Yi's question, Tai Jizi smiled and said nothing.
However, Li Yi already had the answer in his heart, so he didn't ask any questions.
But he trained harder and harder after that.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is time for Li Yi and Liu Yu to go out of the mountain together.
Before leaving, Li Yi knelt down and bowed to Tai Jizi, looking at the disciple Tai Jizi in front of him, his eyes were full of relief and love.
He gently helped Li Yi up, and Li Yi remembered very clearly that Tai Jizi had not supported him when he was apprenticed.
"The sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high, and the birds fly as a teacher, I hope you can break out of your future."
Li Yi tearfully bowed to Tai Jizi again and solemnly kowtowed three times.
When Li Yi and Liu Yu walked out of the bamboo house with their bags on their backs, Tai Jizi lay back on his bamboo chair again.
"The Thousand Autumn Turtle shows the rise and fall, and benevolence and righteousness have always been national treasures."
From the bamboo house, there are distant verses of Taijizi.
Li Yi didn't look back, but he had firmly engraved this poem in his heart.
