Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 6 A Scholar Must Have a Teacher
Liu Jizu was shocked at first when he heard this, and immediately became happy, and his buttocks didn't hurt anymore, so he immediately kowtowed and shouted to Master.
Wu Lun asked him to get up and said: "The master in the rivers and lakes is not called casually, Mr. can spend money to teach you knowledge, skills, and skills, as a student, you only need to pay for it." However, in addition to teaching you the skills to establish a life, the Master has to take on the responsibility of making offerings before you leave the Master. After leaving the school, he will also help you get on the road, and you can also rely on the master and the master to get shelter when you walk the rivers and lakes, that is, the so-called teacher is like a parent. But you also have obligations to your master and your master, and you must also be filial to your parents like your parents, and you must not betray them without reason. Betraying the master for no reason is a taboo in the rivers and lakes, and it is despised by all the people in the rivers and lakes, you must be conscious. ”
Liu Jizu wrote them down one by one.
Wu Lun continued: "Our teacher is a well-known Lezhi Academy in the world, and I believe Mr. Tian has also introduced it to you. But Mr. Tian is not from the rivers and lakes, so in order to avoid getting him into trouble, I did not tell him my origins. Although he may have guessed, our relationship has never been broken, which is protection for both sides, and you don't tell outsiders. ”
Seeing that Liu Jizu nodded very solemnly, Wu Luncai continued: "Our sect is very remarkable, originated from the Yellow Emperor, passed down from Xuanyuan Cave, one of the three largest sects in the rivers and lakes, known as the three sects, and the founders of many sects in the rivers and lakes came out of the three sects. ”
Liu Jizu had been speculating about Wu Lun's origin for a long time, but before apprenticing, Wu Lun never mentioned it, and he didn't pay attention to it.
Wu Lun saw his expression and guessed what he was thinking, so a basin of cold water was splashed down, "Don't be too happy, although the three sects are famous, it is not a good thing to blatantly walk the rivers and lakes under the banner of the sect." ”
"Ahh
"The Three Sects and the Three Ancestral Sects, although they are famous, they also have many constraints. We are role models, we regard ourselves as famous and decent, we are stared at by everyone, and our actions are inevitably tied, so the disciples of our three families rarely disclose their identities when they walk the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the sect has been established for so many years, and for the sake of their own interests, they have also offended many sects. Especially the three ancestors have been fighting for thousands of years, and now although they have long been hidden and no longer compete, the three sects are still more energetic, plus the sects established by the disciples of the three families, the grievances are entangled, and the relationship is even more complicated. These are just the internal contradictions of the three of us, and there are also external threats. Our three sects are powerful, and there are three ancestors behind them, and generally no one dares to go to the mountain gate to spread wild. But it's different for the people who come out to walk the rivers and lakes, because the criteria for selecting disciples are extremely strict, there are not many disciples of the three sects, and there are relatively fewer people who come out to walk the rivers and lakes to do things for the sect, so people are lonely, and one carelessness will be taken advantage of. ”
"Our sect is so strong, why are these people still unfavorable to us?"
"Hmph! This doesn't need to be asked? It's not for fame and fortune! You just need to remember not to reveal your identity easily. As for the reason, you'll find out later. I was saved by Mr. Tian, but when I was young, I didn't know the depths, relying on my own background, thinking that I was strong in martial arts, and did stupid things. My first spirit beast died to cover my escape, and I almost died myself, if it wasn't for Mr. Tian's rescue, I would have died a long time ago. ”
"Spirit beast, is it a dog like Xiao Hei?"
Wu Lun's eyes showed rare emotion at this time, and he said with some sadness: "They are partners, my first spirit animal is also a mastiff, I have fed it for five years, and I have been walking with me in the rivers and lakes." Now Xiao Hei is my third spirit beast, and he can be regarded as his descendant. Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that we are happy to know that there is a psychic hall in the academy, and we are good at driving spirit animals, spirit birds, and spirit insects as the assistant of the door, and I am a dog, and when you come out of me, you can also go to the psychic hall to get married. These spirit beasts, spirit birds, and spirit insects have different abilities, and they can improve your ability in some aspects, and they are the best assistants. Because they will never betray you, treat them well and treat them as partners. ”
"What kind of spirit beasts, spirit birds, and spirit insects are there?
"There are many types of spirit animals, the most I have seen are dogs, and most of the disciples with our surnames are spirit dogs. There were also horses, monkeys, and I've heard of beasts like lions, tigers, bears and leopards, but I've never seen them. I have seen falcons, starlings, pigeons, and crows, mostly used by the deacons of the inner court. I haven't seen the spirit worm with my own eyes, only heard of beekeeping. ”
"Is it beekeeping?"
Wu Lun shook his head, "It shouldn't be, but I haven't seen it, so it's hard to say." As for the relationship, you will know when the time comes, just follow the arrangement of the spiritual master of the Psychic Hall, it is very simple. Each qualified student of the academy can get married once for free. If you have any other questions, just ask them together, I didn't say it before because you didn't get started. ”
Liu Jizu thought for a while, organized the language and then hesitated to ask: "Master, how is your martial arts, what level is it in the rivers and lakes?" After asking, he continued: "I don't mean anything else, Mr. Tian said that you are a master of the rivers and lakes, I just listen to Master's opinion, so that I can have a reference." ”
Since Wu Lun accepted Liu Jizu as an apprentice, his temper seems to have improved a lot, and he is not angry, and he also thought for a while before saying: "Mr. Tian is putting gold on my face, although he is not an old man in the rivers and lakes, but he is warm-hearted, fights righteousness and squanders money, helps the needy, and makes friends with many people in the rivers and lakes and capable people, which can save me by chance." The people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to the distinction between grievances and grievances, there is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge, and it is the villain who will take revenge, and he is spurned by the rivers and lakes. But do you remember that it is better not to owe favors if you can not owe them, and that human debts are the most difficult to repay, remember?"
Liu Jizu hurriedly nodded yes.
"As for my current level of martial arts, it's hard to say, it's hard to evaluate myself. And there is a problem with your statement, it cannot be called the level of martial arts, but the level of martial arts. There are various skills in the rivers and lakes, and martial arts are just one of them. There is an unwritten standard in the rivers and lakes, according to the number of martial arts mastered, the warriors in the rivers and lakes are divided into six grades, although it is not rigorous, let's talk about it for reference.
These six ranks, from low to high, are martial disciples, samurai, martial masters, grandmasters, great grandmasters, and martial saints.
The sixth class is a martial artist, that is, a person who has just started and is new to martial arts like you. There is a big difference between this and the like, a qualification like yours is an ordinary disciple in our sect, and if you are in a small and medium-sized sect, it is possible to be a descendant disciple. ”
"Does it make a difference?"
Wu Lun was a little dissatisfied with him interrupting himself, and said: "The difference is very big, ordinary disciples can't master a complete martial art in small and medium-sized sects. That is to say, you can learn some moves, but you can't be a master, because what you teach is superficial things, not systematic. The main reason is that the small and medium-sized sects will have a total of one to three martial arts, and if they teach their apprentices to starve to death of their masters, how can they pass it on lightly. The descendants are different, they are regarded as the descendants of various sects, they are all taught from a young age, taught systematically, and taught completely, and they can become masters after teaching. So, do you understand the difference?"
When Liu Jizu heard that he was an ordinary disciple, he was a little unhappy and silent.
Wu Lun saw it and said with a smile: "Don't be upset, the ordinary disciples of our sect are better than the descendants of those small and medium-sized sects, otherwise how can they be called ancestral sects and sects." Many sects outside were related to the three ancestors or the three sects at the beginning of their establishment, and they can be said to be grandchildren, but the times are far away, but they still recognize us as ancestors. The number of martial arts mastered by ordinary sects is very small, even if there are more than four martial arts, even if there are more than four martial arts, even if there are ten sects, even if they are super sects, but our sect has dozens or even hundreds of sects, and they are constantly collecting and increasing.
Therefore, our ordinary disciples can learn two complete martial arts for free, and listen to it clearly whether they learn it completely or two. We will resolutely not accept those who do not meet our standards for accepting apprentices, unlike those small and medium-sized sects, who will accept them as long as they pay tuition. Moreover, the descendants of our sect are not selected by the qualifications of the disciples like small and medium-sized sects, but by the bloodline. Those of us who come from outside are disciples with foreign surnames, and we can't change the bloodline, so we don't need to count on it, so we don't have to worry about this problem. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jizu became happy again, and asked the master to continue to talk about the classification of martial artists.
Wu Lun shook his head, and then said: "The fifth rank is the warrior, that is, the ordinary disciples of the small and medium-sized sects I mentioned earlier, they have learned some moves, but they have not fully mastered a martial art. This kind of person has the most in the rivers and lakes, and they will use martial arts, but they are only superficial moves. ”
Liu Jizu was very interested in this and asked, "Master, what is the move, is it a move to swing the knife?"
Wu Lun frowned and said: "Then how to calculate! One move is a complete offensive and defensive system, such as the common move of luring the snake out of the hole, which includes four steps: pretending to be flawed, luring the enemy to attack, waiting for an opportunity to observe, and attacking the enemy unprepared. Martial artists always adjust and use their own moves to improvise, a face, a move is a combination of a series of actions, how can it be as simple as swinging a knife. If it's that simple, why do you spend so much effort learning martial arts? The most important thing in learning martial arts is to teach you how to consciously fight with others, and how to use more and more efficient strength, instead of using brute force and brains, understand?"
Liu Jizu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he could only nod his head when he looked at Wu Lun's impatient appearance.
Wu Lun continued: "The fourth class is a martial artist, then it is different, they have completely mastered a martial art, can be a master and disciple, and can support a small sect, like Jin Dapeng, the master of the fast knife sect outside Xinzhou City, he will chase the soul sword technique all the way, he is a disciple of the middle sect."
The third level is the grandmaster, who has completely mastered two or three martial arts and can support a medium-sized sect, such as Jin Dapeng's master, Hou Tong, the master of the three peerless sects of Wutai Mountain, in addition to chasing soul swords, he can also punch and leg all the way.
The second level is the great grandmaster, who has a complete grasp of four to five martial arts, and can support a person from a major sect, like Hou Tong's senior sister Hengshan sect master Ling Sanshan, she has four stunts, and the master of our three sects, they all have more than five stunts. ”
Liu Jizu interjected at this time and asked, "Master, why are the three sects of Kuaidaomen, Sanjue Sect, and Hengshan Sect in such a relationship? Is this deliberately arranged?"
Wu Lun snorted, thought for a while, and said, "It's hard to say, but it's very likely." Generally, the main sect will establish a medium sect as a perimeter around it. Medium sects will set up small sect guards around them. Smaller sects will send their disciples to scatter around the rivers and lakes to collect information. If there is any disturbance, it can be reported in a timely manner, and only then can the gate faction take measures. This is also learned from our three sects, nothing unusual.
I went on to talk about it, the first level is the Martial Saint, which is no longer simply measured by the number of martial arts mastered. They have reached the pinnacle of martial arts or mastered the laws of martial arts, and their level is extremely high. Like the legendary figures of our Three Ancestors and Three Sects who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, of course, there are also strange people from other sects.
Even my master, your master and his old man, may have reached that level, but I haven't seen him for decades. I can barely understand the four martial arts now, which are all the way to the leg, all the way to the sword, all the way to the hidden weapon and all the way to the fist. ”
