The other three children immediately stood up and saluted.

Liu Jizu was still immersed in shock and couldn't extricate himself, aren't the rivers and lakes an existence in martial arts novels?

Mr. Tian saw that Liu Jizu was stunned and didn't react, thinking that he was still too young to understand, so he asked him with a smile, "Jizu, you are still young, it doesn't matter if you don't understand this, you will understand it slowly." Do you have any questions?"

Liu Jizu was shocked when he heard Mr. call his name, stood up and blurted out, "Sir, what dynasty is it now?"

Mr. Tian was a little confused when he heard this, and he didn't expect him to ask such a question, but he still replied: "After the Qin and Han dynasties, it was Jin, Wei, Qi, Liang, and Tang, and it has been more than a thousand years since the current Zhou. ”

Liu Jizu was a little confused when he heard this, these dynasties seemed to have all in history, but the order seemed to be wrong, and he then asked: "What is the current royal family name?"

A little fat man next to him smiled: "I don't know, now it is Emperor Jiahe who is on the throne, and the royal family is surnamed Wang, because he is a descendant of King Wen of Zhou, so he takes Zhou as the country name, and it has been more than 200 years since the founding of the country." ”

Mr. Tian was very satisfied that the little fat man actually knew this, nodded, and said with a smile: "Although it is impossible to test the descendants of King Wen and the like, the others are basically not bad." ”

Liu Jizu was even more shocked when he heard this, how could there be such a Zhou Dynasty in the history he studied, which had been founded for more than 200 years, there must be something wrong. But he was cautious by nature and knew that he couldn't behave too specially, so he consciously eased his emotions, touched the back of his head and smiled: "Mr. said so much, I don't understand a lot, and I don't know what dynasty it is now, thank you Mr. and Senior Brother for solving my doubts." ”

Mr. Tian saw that although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything, and then said: "Although it is located in a remote area, the people are simple, and there is no danger, but you are still young now, and you have parents to take care of you at home, but you can't take it lightly outside. When I was young, I traveled to various places to study, and I heard a lot of stories about the rivers and lakes, ranging from the loss of property to the loss of life. In addition, do not talk to strangers on the way to and from school, do not go to the mountains and forests to play, and go home immediately after school. Do you remember them all?"

"Remember!" the four students replied loudly.

Mr. Tian nodded, and then went to class, and the rest of the lecture was similar to other private schools, and he also started to learn from the three-character classic, the hundred family names, the thousand-character text, and the Analects. These contents did not put any pressure on Liu Jizu, and after a few months, after he became familiar with the ancient characters and brushes at that time, he learned faster.

Mr. Tian also slowly discovered his extraordinary, and was very happy, and often left him to open a small stove. The ones that I told him alone were not taught in ordinary private schools, but the essence of what Mr. had learned over the years and his own opinions. After Mr. Tian's systematic explanation, he became more and more fascinated, and the more he learned, the more he liked it, and he often went home late after learning it. Mr. Tian was very satisfied with this, he liked Liu Jizu very much, and even exempted the firewood that their family had to pay.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Jizu has been able to discuss with Mr. Tian, he still takes classes with his classmates in the morning, and Mr. Tian teaches alone in the afternoon. One afternoon after the Midyear Festival, unlike usual, the gentleman did not talk about the content of the class, but asked him: "Step-ancestor, you have been studying with me for three years, and you are six years old this year, right?"

Liu Jizu nodded, and Mr. continued: "As old as you, you should learn some martial arts! It has been two hundred and thirty-four years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now the government is dark, the officials are corrupt, the people's customs are not ancient, and the national strength has already shown a decline several decades ago. The reason why I moved here from Xinzhou City is that I can't stand the decadent atmosphere there. A friend came to visit me a few days ago and told me that the situation is worse than before. ”

Liu Jizu is not as ignorant of things here as he was three years ago, he knows that what Mr. said is that the Great Zhou court is declining day by day, the local heroes and strong stand side by side, and there are strong enemies around, once the court changes, it may fall into chaos.

Seeing his expression, the gentleman knew that he understood, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "If this continues, I think Da Zhou will be finished sooner or later." I don't think I can make it, but you're probably in the right place. In troubled times, it is not as good as governing the world, optics and literature can only rely on the strong, and cannot stand on their own, only having both civil and military is the king. So I made my own opinion, and I also had selfish intentions, and found a master who practiced martial arts for you, what do you think?"

Liu Jizu almost shouted happily, he was so excited, he didn't ask what Mr. said about his selfishness, he thought that he could finally realize a chivalrous dream, the so-called 'eternal literati chivalrous dream', he also has this dream. In his previous life, in addition to reading time-traveling novels, he also loved to read martial arts novels, since there are still rivers and lakes, there must be chivalrous.

He retracted his thoughts, controlled his emotions, and showed an expression of surprise appropriately, "Sir's arrangement must be for my good, I am willing to practice martial arts according to Mr.'s arrangement, but I don't know where the master is, when will I start learning?"

Mr. Tian nodded with satisfaction, "Your master is my friend, and he has something to do today." Starting tomorrow, you won't have to follow along with the morning classes. Tomorrow at dawn, you can come to the back door of my house and follow him in the garden to learn martial arts! It's just that you are learning martial arts, don't tell anyone about it. ”

Liu Jizu suppressed his excitement, saluted Mr., and then went to class.

Liu Jizu got up before dawn the next day, and asked his mother to make him something to eat, so he drank two bowls of millet porridge mixed with sorghum rice and ate a flour cake with last night's leftovers, and ran to Mr. Tian's house.

When I arrived at the back door of Mr. Tian's house, it was just dawn. He pulled the door knocker three times with his feet, and after a while, the door creaked open a crack, but it was a big dog head that came out first, barking at Liu Jizu's face.

This sudden dog almost scared Liu Jizu's soul away, and he directly squatted on the ground. Immediately after, the door opened, and a large man flashed out of it.

Liu Jizu has never seen such a person in his two lives, but he saw that this person was in his forties, about 1.8 meters tall, with a beard, a Chinese face, and a sharp and angular face, revealing a sense of vicissitudes. Two broom eyebrows, a pair of small triangular eyes often squint, occasionally open but the eyes are like electricity, a glance seems to be able to see you through.

This person was dressed in an azure samurai costume, well-dressed, with two walnut-shaped things coiled in his hands, and his limbs were strong and straight. This kind of strength is obviously different from the strength of his father and grandfather, whose grandfather is already recognized as the strongest in the village, with big shoulders and a round waist and a burly body. I heard my grandfather say that his ancestors were stronger, grew up eating meat, and migrated from the grasslands in the north. Although my father was not as strong as my grandfather, he was also very strong, but this man was obviously stronger than my grandfather, and this was not a congenital growth, but an acquired exercise. What's more different is the feeling that he has a fierce aura on his body, coupled with his scrutinizing gaze, giving people a sense of oppression.

Liu Jizu had never experienced this feeling, which made him very uncomfortable. But Liu Jizu is very smart, he guessed that this was Mr. Tian's friend, even if he guessed wrong, kowtowing to the elders would not be a loss, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!"

When the man saw this, he frowned, and said, "Come in!" and turned back.

Liu Jizu stuck out his tongue and hurriedly followed.

As soon as the back door entered a garden, a two-zhang square open space had been cleaned up in the middle, Liu Jizu entered the door, the man was already standing in the middle of the clearing, and a huge black dog was squatting beside him. Liu Jizu knew that it should be a Tibetan mastiff with iron and gold, and he was even more in awe, and hurriedly ran over and stood in front of the man. The strange thing is that the sharp aura and eyes are gone, and the person seems to have changed into a different person, and suddenly becomes ordinary.

"My name is Wu Lun, and Mr. Tian has saved my life, so I came to teach you at his request. Although you are young, I will also make it clear. I promised to teach you mainly to pay off your debts, and although I did teach you some skills, whether or not I counted as a master and apprentice depends on whether you can get started. This is the rule of the master, so don't call Master yet, let's call Mr. now!"

Liu Jizu bowed and saluted.

"Are you afraid of hardship?"

Liu Jizu immediately straightened up and said loudly: "Don't be afraid!"

Wu Lun showed a little satisfied expression and said: "It is extremely difficult to enter my master, in addition to my own hard work, the acquired diet and my own talent are extremely important. There is no way to be talented, it depends on your creation, whether you are diligent and hardworking, you can do it yourself, as for the diet, I have drawn up a list for your diet, you eat according to this from today onwards, otherwise your bones, skin, muscles and flesh may not grow strong. ”

Liu Jizu took the list from Wu Lun's hand, and saw that it was written on a variety of foods and portions, divided into five days, five meals a day, different, and repeatedly, there were home-cooked foods on it, such as rice, noodles, beans, eggs, vegetables and the like, as well as meat, bones, milk and other foods that were not often eaten by the villagers, and there were some animal offal and medicinal materials that Liu Jizu had never eaten. Liu Jizu frowned when he saw it, although there were some things in it that were available at home, and those that were not available could be bought in nearby towns, but after all, the family was not rich, and there were some things that were estimated to be impossible to buy in the town. What's more, they don't have so much spare money at home, it seems that the ancients really didn't say nonsense when they said that they were poor and rich in martial arts.

Wu Lun seemed to see through his mind and smiled, "You don't have to worry, you just let the family prepare home-cooked food, but the amount should be increased appropriately, and Mr. Tian will help you prepare the other food." Our division is not like some schools that focus on skills, and they do not have high dietary requirements, and even avoid eating some foods that increase weight. Our division focuses on strength, and we can't enter the door without good physical fitness and physical strength, so diet is very important to us. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jizu put his mind at ease, he was very grateful but also had some doubts, he didn't have time to think nonsense, because Mr. Wu didn't want to delay at all.

He first asked Liu Jizu to come over and smell the dog, then bent down and patted the dog's head and muttered something to the dog's ear, and then took out a piece of jerky from a leather bag he carried with him, gave it to Liu Jizu, asked him to spit some saliva on it and then fed it to the dog.

Liu Jizu spit a little saliva on the meat as requested, and then carefully approached the dog's body and brought the jerky to the dog's mouth.

The dog stood up, about the same height as Liu Jizu, and it looked at Liu Jizu for a short time before taking the meat over and walking to the side to eat it.

After doing this, Wu Lun didn't have any politeness, and immediately asked Liu Jizu to start training. The content of the training was beyond Liu Jizu's expectations, it was very similar to modern physical training, and it was very systematic, but there were no modern equipment. In their place were stone locks, wooden stakes, wooden frames and the like. The training content includes strength, speed, endurance, coordination, flexibility, concentration, etc., and the intensity is also very large, after an hour and a half, Liu Jizu is already panting, sweating, and hungry.

At this time, the wife of Lao Liaotou, who was in charge of cooking for Mr. Tian, came to the backyard with a basket.

When Wu Lun saw it, he asked Liu Jizu to stop and rest, and when he calmed down, he let him drink water and eat, which was actually two boiled eggs and a plate of snacks.

Liu Jizu was already hungry, so he ate the eggs and snacks in a few mouthfuls, and drank a large bowl of water, which was actually mixed with honey. I don't know if it's because of the lack of materials, or because the food is all natural, Liu Jizu found that the food here tasted very good, so the food was extraordinarily fragrant.

Wu Lun let him rest for a while, and then continued to train for an hour and a half, when it was already noon, and Lao Liaotou's wife brought him lunch again.

The lunch was very hearty, with a bowl of soup boiled with meat bones and various beans, with a little medicinal taste, Liu Jizu didn't know what it was, as well as steamed buns and a plate of fried cabbage in lard.

Liu Jizu gnawed on the steamed buns, ate the vegetables and soup at all, chewed and sucked the oil before throwing it to the big black dog who was already squatting next to him and staring at him, and finally used the remaining mouthful of steamed buns to wipe the oil at the bottom of the bowl and the bottom of the plate and throw it in his mouth and swallowed it, before he exhaled with satisfaction and said that he was full.

Seeing this, Mr. Wu smiled for the first time and said, "You are still young, don't hold on, you will come here every morning in the future and practice until noon." Breakfast you follow the recipe to let the family prepare, training plus meals and lunch Mr. Tian provides, you don't care. At noon, you go home to rest for an hour, and in the afternoon you follow Mr. Tian to study literature. After going home and having dinner and resting for half an hour, I practiced the set I asked you to practice today for another hour, and after practicing, I ate and rested. For dinner and evening snacks, you also follow the recipe and ask the family to help prepare it. You're still young, so you don't have to start with too much. Also, don't tell anyone other than your family that you're learning martial arts, even your family don't tell them that I'm teaching you. They asked, you said that Mr. Tian taught you, remember?"

Liu Jizu was exhausted this morning, his whole body was sore, and he thought that learning martial arts was much more troublesome than learning literature, and he instinctively resisted in his heart. But he has a tough personality and never admits defeat easily, gritted his teeth and agreed, then saluted Mr. Wu goodbye, and went home to rest.
