A new home, a new atmosphere.
Meng Shuai cleaned up the house and spent five days.
The reason why he was so quick was also because he threw a lot of money. It was the first time in this life or in the previous life that he had so much money, and he squandered a few thousand taels of silver at will, renovated the house from the inside out, and hired five or six servants and a good cook.
Shui Sigui came in, but he was satisfied, he occupied the upper room, and let Meng Shuai live in the east wing, but put the Baili Xiao'an in the side courtyard, and then outside was the servant's residence, and told them not to enter the inner courtyard without instructions.
After that, Meng Shuai's martial arts career officially began.
On this morning, Shui Sigui opened the incense hall and put a box in the middle, but it was covered with a cloth and did not open it.
Meng Shuai knew that the above was the ancestor of the sect, and he didn't know what his sect was called, so he asked Shui Sigui, and Shui Sigui didn't tell him. Today, God also mysteriously made a box to put it.
Shui Sigui gently stroked the box and said, "Have you thought about it?"
Meng Shuai was inexplicable in his heart, he had said something good a long time ago, do you want to say it again?
Shui Sigui said: "There are some things I want to say in front. Our sect is completely different from other sects. If you don't have the courage to move forward, it's better not to get started. β
Meng Shuai said in his heart: At this time, what are you still asking these for?, but she still replied firmly: "I have courage." β
Shui Sigui said: "If you don't have the perseverance of a hundred years, don't challenge." β
Meng Shuai said: "I have perseverance. β
Shui Sigui said: "In addition, you must also have persistence. β
Meng Shuai replied: "I am prepared for these. β
Shui Sigui said: "Come into my door, and you will hand yourself over to the Martial Dao and the Heavenly Dao." For the sake of the way of heaven, we must not hesitate to do anything. If you don't have the courage to give up, you won't get the approval of heaven. β
Meng Shuai said: "Is this the Dao Heart? Although I don't know what the Dao Heart wants, I believe I can do it." β
Although Meng Shuai was just an ordinary person in his previous life, after a reincarnation, he has changed a lot, although the character of giggling on his face is boundless, but his heart is much more solid.
If one can even accept crossing, then there is nothing unacceptable.
Relive a life, naturally unwilling to be ordinary.
The ambition in Meng Shuai's heart has already been planted, just waiting for it to take root and grow into a towering tree.
Shui Sigui listened to Meng Shuai's words, suddenly sneered, and said, "You said it too easily. Also, you are still young and don't know what you will face in the future. The avenue is ruthless, to pursue the top, doomed to loneliness. Are you ready?"
Meng Shuai said: "Yes." He already knew the truth that the height was unbearable.
Shui Sigui said: "Even if your relatives and friends really do the obstruction of the Heavenly Dao, you have to take action to get rid of it, and you are prepared?"
Meng Shuai was stunned, Shui Sigui sneered, and said: "Don't talk about others, it's me, if you become an obstacle to you one day, you have to be ruthless, can you do it?"
Meng Shuai was stunned, standing dumbfounded, unable to answer, Shui Sigui sighed and said, "Young man, you always see things so easily. Let's think about it yourself, if you figure it out, then come and tell me if you want to enter this door. β
Meng Shuai smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that he thought he had no scruples, and he was stuck in the first step.
The meaning of water is to be decisive...... Is it?
When Meng Shuai was fantasizing, he often felt that he had this potential, but what really made him answer without hesitation: "Yes." "But it's too reluctant.
He...... Are you really ready?
In the front yard, Shui Sigui silently looked at the newly planted poplar tree in the courtyard.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and Shui Sigui didn't look back, and said, "Think about it." β
Meng Shuai said: "I think about it." β
Shui Sigui said: "You can do it?"
Meng Shuai said: "I can't do it." β
Shui Sigui snorted and said, "Then go back and continue to think." β
Meng Shuai said: "I have thought it through, this thing will never be done." I practice martial arts to strengthen my body, but also to protect myself and the people I want to protect, and only this reason is the motivation for me to move forward bravely. As for the Heavenly Dao...... Tiandao is not familiar with me, why should I betray someone I know for him?"
Shui Sigui was angry and funny, and said, "What are you doing with the Heavenly Dao?"
Meng Shuai said: "I don't know what the way of heaven is, I'm not familiar with him." I don't think it's okay for me to do something against my heart for the sake of that ethereal and unknowable Heavenly Dao. β
Shui Sigui sighed and said, "What about your path?"
Meng Shuai thought about it, but he was not hesitating, he was just organizing the language, and he wanted to say the thoughts in his heart more clearly, and said: "My path is to move forward bravely...... But ask for heart, but ask for no regrets. β
Looking at Shui Sigui's silent back, Meng Shuai bowed and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." Now that you have recovered to the past, there should be a better choice besides me, an unsuccessful disciple. Anyway......" he couldn't go on, and he bowed slightly, taking a step back.
The so-called opportunity needs the right time and place, maybe the people are not yet, if you can't get started, Meng Shuai only feels that this door doesn't seem to be open for himself.
Meng Shuai turned around and suddenly heard Shui Sigui say, "Very good, you are qualified." β
Meng Shuai turned back in amazement, but when he saw Shui Sigui turn around, he smiled and said, "Let's go, go to the incense hall to apprentice." β
Meng Shuai said: "But ......"
Shui Sigui smiled and groaned: "Heaven is ruthless or not ruthless, don't say it." I'm the one who taught you martial arts. You think I'm going to keep someone who has the intention of deceiving my teacher and destroying my ancestors by my side, so I'm not stupid?" he said and returned to the front yard briskly.
The corners of Meng Shuai's eyebrows and eyes twitched, and he said, "Okay...... All right. β
Shui Sigui stood still in front of the incense hall and said, "Before apprenticing, you must know the name of my door. Our sect is called Turtle Gate. β
Meng Shuai was stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and hurriedly said: "Which one is going back?"
Shui Sigui lifted the lid of the box suddenly, revealing an object, and said, "It's this turtle." β
But when I saw a piece of red silk, a flower-backed turtle was impressive, and the eight pieces of turtle's back were square, like gossip.
Meng Shuai was stunned, and Shui Sigui shouted: "Kneel down and kowtow to Master Zu." β
Meng Shuai said: "This is ...... Our ancestors?" Xin Dao: Then I will be in the pond in the future, won't I be able to see my grandfather every day? Seeing Shui Sigui glaring at him, he had to kneel down and kowtow, Shui Sigui put on three pillars of incense, and asked Meng Shuai to bow to himself and encourage him, and this is the end.
In fact, Meng Shuai didn't know that such a simple apprenticeship ceremony was almost child's play in the outside world. In the outside world, serious sects worship a teacher, often hold a big ceremony, invite relatives and friends of the same way, as a witness, and then lively for several days, so that the rivers and lakes will recognize this disciple. Meng Shuai's simple apprenticeship has many fewer procedures.
Shui Sigui said: "The rules of my door are very simple, one law and two precepts. These two precepts are to abstain from greed and laziness. Many sects have a few major precepts and many small precepts, if you can quit these two words, there is no crooked way in the world. β
Meng Shuai said: "The disciple remembers. β
Shui Sigui continued: "This method is the 'turtle law of nature', and it is also the first essence of my sect. It is also cumbersome to explain to you in words now, but you will experience it in the future. β
Meng Shuai said in his heart: I only heard the Tao law of nature, it turns out that the turtle is also natural, and it seems that this nature is also very good.
If Shui Sigui heard Meng Shuai's heart, he was afraid that he would kick it with a big foot, so he would kick this new disciple of the Turtle Gate out of the door.
Shui Sigui accepted the incense hall, did not teach first, and said: "I can see your skills, but I don't know what you learned from your brother, I must first know your Cheng dΓΉ, so that I can teach you according to your aptitude." β
Meng Shuai said: "I should tell the truth." β
Shui Sigui said: "First ask you about the basics of martial arts. What are the Eight Virtues of Martial Arts?"
Meng Shuai replied: "Loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, filial piety, faith, use, wisdom, and strength." β
Shui Sigui asked, "What about the four bases of the martial artists?"
Meng Shuai replied: "Roots, understanding, mind, and creation." β
Shui Sigui nodded, and asked again, "What are the six arts of martial arts?"
Meng Shuai said: "Mental method, fists and feet, blades, light body, riding and shooting, and book etiquette." β
Shui Sigui said: "Very good. Now ask you one by one. Needless to say, what have you learned about your fists and feet?
Meng Shuai said: "I have only learned one longevity boxing, and I have a thousand days of skill." β
Generally speaking, the proficiency of martial arts is mostly distinguished by beginners, 100 days, 1000 days, 10 years, and all skills. This hundred days, a thousand days is naturally the length of immersion in this martial arts. It's just that everyone's understanding is different, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the process of 100 days of gong takes exactly 100 days. Like a thousand days of work, it is generally to the point where practice makes perfect, and some people can achieve it in one year, saving two years of time compared to others, which can also be said to be a thousand days of work.
Meng Shuai's predecessor and himself are not equal in terms of understanding and roots, so the thousand-day skill of this longevity fist is really three years of hard practice. When it comes to perseverance, his predecessors are indeed worth mentioning.
Shui Sigui nodded and said, "What about the blade?"
Meng Shuai said: "I didn't learn the long blade, my eldest brother told me to learn it again in the realm of weightlifting." The dagger can play with both hands, and there is no special name. Dark Qingzi has learned to shake arrows and is practicing iron lotus seeds. β
Shui Sigui shook his head and said: "Iron lotus seeds, such a difficult to learn and difficult to master secret weapons, I don't know how you choose, children are young, they should start learning from ordinary secret weapons such as darts." What about light body kung fu?"
Meng Shuai said: "Does the plum blossom pile step count?"
Shui Sigui said: "Is the foundation of the body method? How about riding and archery?"
Meng Shuai said: "If you can ride a horse, shoot arrows, and even bead arrows, up to six arrows." β
Shui Sigui was slightly surprised and said, "Your brother has worked hard. Did he teach you to be knowledgeable?"
Meng Shuai said: "Literacy is taught when I was very young, and if you read books, you can learn the Six Classics." β
Shui Sigui pondered for a while and said, "What else have you learned besides these?"
Meng Shuai said: "The acupuncture points and meridians can be recognized. I haven't learned the technique of acupoints, but it's no problem to push the uterus through blood. Nothing else. β
Shui Sigui said: "You have been studying martial arts for a total of three years, which is very good, the foundation is in order, and the foundation is very solid." Your brother is a good teacher. Even those big sects can't give you better basic guidance. β
Meng Shuai nodded and said, "My brother treats me like a mountain. β
Shui Sigui said: "Very good. Then you don't have to lay the foundation for you anymore, let's improve steadily. What do you want to learn most in my turtle gate?"
Meng Shuai said without hesitation: "Of course, it's the Turtle School Qigong." β
