Chapter 43: Song Xuan on Kendo

After a full meal and wine, several people dispersed one after another.

When Song Xuan was about to return to the cabin to rest, Lin Daiyu suddenly shouted to stop him.

"Something?" Song Xuan turned his head and asked.

"Nothing." Lin Daiyu's star-bright eyes looked at him, and said with a shallow smile: "Cousin seems to have a good impression of that Lin Pingzhi?" ”

Song Xuan nodded, "It's a bit favorable." Since I was a child, I have seen a lot of people, and there are many people who think of themselves as gentlemen, but most of them are hypocrites.

And Lin Pingzhi, with his sincere temperament now, can be regarded as a gentleman.

Of course, I'm just talking about the present, and as for what will happen in the future, it is unknown. ”

"Then cousin, are you a gentleman?"

"Me?"

Song Xuan laughed, "Have you ever seen a gentleman who wants to kill his whole family at every turn?" ”

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, did not continue the topic, but asked: "My cousin is different from the martial artist in my impression, but he likes to read on weekdays?" ”

Song Xuan recalled the ancient books in his house and nodded slightly, "I will read some in my spare time." ”

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly said, "I don't know what books my cousin reads on weekdays?" ”

"I read a lot of books, but whenever there are books in front of me, as long as I have time, I can pick them up and read them, but I don't stick to which one is specific."

Song Xuan really likes to read, and when he was bored in his previous life, even if he found an instruction manual for a screwdriver, he could read it with relish for a long time.

In this feudal era, when entertainment items were much scarcer than in previous generations, reading, practicing martial arts, and listening to music were one of his few entertainment activities.

"In terms of poetry and poetry, I don't know if my cousin has any research?"

Song Xuan waved his hand, "My Song family is a hereditary Xuanyiwei family, and I was born without a chance to take the literati imperial examination, so I have always studied purely based on interest.

I've read it, I know it, I understand it, and it's okay, as for biting the text, chewing the words, choosing words, and making sentences to study the eight-strand article or something, it doesn't make much sense to me. ”

Saying that, Song Xuan seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "I can't remember where I read it, someone once said that those who study ancient and modern times become a great career and ask questions in college must pass through three realms."

'Last night the west wind withered the trees. Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world'. This first realm also.

'The belt gradually widened, and he did not regret it, and he made people haggard for Yi. 'This second realm also.

'The crowd looked for her a thousand times, and suddenly they looked back, but the man was in the lamplight.' This third realm also.

At the beginning, I can hope that the text is born and righteous, and rote memorization can be a small success.

Enterprising can be used flexibly, and there is a clever tongue.

In the end, it can be explained in simple terms, the unity of knowledge and action, and the great success.

These three realms, I don't know where you have reached, cousin? ”

Lin Daiyu was stunned and didn't react for a while, until Song Xuan yawned and was about to leave, she woke up from a dream and shouted.

"Cousin, where did you read the Three Realms of Reading you mentioned?"

"I can't remember."

"That's the 'last night the west wind withered the tree. Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world', who made this poem? ”

"I can't remember it all."

"But cousin, I have never heard of the three realms of reading. If you can read these three poems, they can be called classics in the literary world, but if someone makes a famous sentence that is passed down, it will inevitably be praised by the world.

But I have never seen these in poetry books, and I have never heard anyone talk about them.

So..... Cousin, you wrote these poems yourself, right? ”

Song Xuan stopped slightly and said lightly: "People can't be too idle, if they are too idle, they will think too much, and if they think too much, it will be difficult to feel happy."

Tomorrow I will remind you cousin, that the time of your zama step has been raised from one hour to two hours. ”

Ignoring Lin Daiyu, who was holding her mouth and looking aggrieved, Song Xuan returned to her room, and as soon as she returned to the room, Song Qian came in.

"Brother, were you on a blind date with your cousin just now?" Song Qian's big curious eyes blinked writhingly, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Sometimes I want to pry your head open and see what you've been thinking all day!" Song Xuan was speechless and said, "Which eye did you see me on a blind date?" ”

Song Qian pouted and said, "Isn't a blind date just about telling each other about your preferences and habits?"

You just talked about the realm of reading together, talked about poetry and songs, and cared about her martial arts progress, asking her to add an extra hour to practicing martial arts every day, isn't this a blind date? ”

Song Xuan stared at her for a long time, and then sighed: "Sometimes I really feel that you were born in the wrong era, change the era, with your brain, your achievements are absolutely limitless." ”

"I'll just think you're complimenting me!"

Song Qian sat aside with a smile and said, "What did you just say to your cousin about the Three Realms of Reading, what about practicing martial arts, do you have any insights?" ”

Song Xuan muttered: "There is such a thing as practicing martial arts, the internal strength operation route, you can have cheats to learn, and the move skills can also be taught."

But cheats and moves can only be regarded as the foundation for becoming a strong man, and if you want to succeed on the road of martial arts and become a generation of martial arts masters, you still need to understand it yourself after all, and it is useless to simply rely on others to explain.

My perception may not be useful to you. ”

"Is it useful, you can talk about it first!"

Song Xuan patted the long sword placed at the head of the bed and said, "You and I have been practicing swords since we were children, so I'll tell you what I understand about swordsmanship."

It does not involve specific cultivation methods, but simply the perception of the artistic conception of kendo.

In my opinion, the path of kendo can be divided into five realms: sharp sword, soft sword, heavy sword, wooden sword, and no sword. ”

"Five realms?"

Song Qian suddenly became interested, "Brother, you talk about it carefully." ”

Song Xuan poured himself a cup of tea and talked eloquently while drinking tea.

"In the first realm, the sword has no intention. This realm is to use the sharpness of the sword to bring the moves to the extreme, and to hurt the enemy with the sharpness of the moves and the sword. ”

"In the second realm, the soft sword is impermanent. In this realm, the sword should be swift and powerful, and then attack the opponent continuously through the fantastic changes of every move, every style, and even each sword, as well as the fickle and strange ways of the soft sword.

And the so-called "soft sword impermanence" is to pursue the ultimate change on the basis of the move has been exerted to the extreme. Through the control of physical strength and internal strength, the soft sword attack form can be changed according to the user's mind, and can be changed at will.

Reaching this level has basically reached the pinnacle of skill. ”

"In the third realm, the heavy sword has no edge, and the great skill is not worked.

At this point, he no longer pursues the complexity and variety of moves and techniques, but begins to overwhelm people with force.

No matter how the opponent makes moves, whether there are flaws in the martial arts, just swing a sword straight away, and you can achieve the remarkable effect of breaking ten meetings with one force. ”
