Chapter 6 Opening of the Museum for Apprenticeship
In fact, in the 21st century, I am really not a showy person. Otherwise, when I went out on a mission in the end (in fact, I was designed to betray the first sister), and when I started with the first sister and her subordinates, she would not be so surprised to see that my kung fu was so good. Of course, there are my own considerations behind my refusal to show up, but it also has a lot to do with my character of not wanting to take the initiative in everything.
Today, in other people's generations, I can't help but show such a big face in other people's land, and I feel very embarrassed for the person I kicked away.
So when Guo Xie applauded, and everyone had just been liberated from the state of wooden chickens and looked at each other, I accepted it when I saw it, walked over and saluted the thin doorman who had not yet gotten up, and then smiled and stretched out my hand to him.
The winner faces the loser, don't say anything emotional, otherwise he will definitely think that you are insulting him, just let him feel your friendliness. Therefore, a look, an action, if the scale is well grasped, will not only eliminate the hostility of the other party, but also preserve the self-esteem of the other party. This way, you'll have fewer opponents and more friends.
The thin doorman really felt my kindness, immediately cooperated to hold my hand, stood up from the ground, and said in a strange but understandable dialect: "The skill of the gentleman is faster than lightning, the power is as fast as thunder, and the skill is superb, and Piang is convinced." ”
PEON?OH, IT SOUNDS LIKE BEYOND, A GOOD NAME.
I didn't dare to accept his praise calmly, and said humbly: "If my husband were like me, practicing straight kicks, side kicks, back kicks, and chain kicks a thousand times a day, and then practicing footwork jumping and moving a thousand times, I would also practice this amazing skill." ”
Needless to say, the importance of footwork in Jeet Kune Do is not used, watching Bruce Lee's movies, he doesn't jump too much footwork before he strikes, he has a lot of self-control and minimizes unnecessary movements, until he sees the opponent's holes, and then quickly shoots out the opponent.
As for leg skills such as side kicks, it is true that taekwondo is a characteristic, but in Chinese martial arts, there are more skills in leg kung fu, as long as you get rid of the extra fancy, so that each attack takes the most direct and shortest distance, its combat effectiveness must be stronger than taekwondo.
But no matter what kind of kung fu you have, there is no shortcut, and if you don't practice hard, even a genius can't become a great thing. I'm not a genius, and I have the helplessness of being driven by a whip and having to practice, so a thousand times a day, it's really not nonsense.
Guo Xie laughed when he heard this: "Okay, Brother Liu is victorious but not arrogant, and his brother is defeated but not discouraged, they are all true heroes." Then he looked around at everyone and said: "Brother Liu shot too fast just now, and I didn't have time to have fun, everyone, if anyone else wants to learn from Brother Liu, you might as well come up and give it a try." ”
Anyone who practices martial arts will have a desire to see the whole picture of kung fu moves that he has never seen, which is probably one of the main reasons why Guo Xie did not prevent the doorman from holding the "Hongmen Banquet" today, and now he is even more energetic, and he is extremely afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Sure enough, under his stirring fire, a few more guests took turns to "ask for advice" from me, Guo Xie and I have never known each other in life, and they all volunteered to help find Hetian Yu, so it seems that it is okay to perform in front of him and satisfy his little desires.
So next, I tried my best to play the role of a good kung fu demonstrator, fully demonstrating the essence of Jeet Kune Do to them, flexible footwork, non-stop jumping, direct and simple but powerful boxing, rich in powerful palms, and extremely offensive leg skills, which made a group of ancient Jianghu people stunned and drunk.
Every time I change someone who has made a move with me, I change the way of attacking, and they are not as miserable as the first one, usually they support fifteen moves before they are defeated by me, and I treat everyone equally, fifteen moves are fifteen moves, no more and no less. So, it was basically an exhibition game, and by the time the sixth guy climbed in from the ground, no one stepped forward to challenge him.
From the faces of the doormen, I knew that they all approved of me.
It's not easy to get their approval, although they all look civilized and polite today, but who doesn't know that Guo Jie's disciples are all outlaws. Although the historical records record that before moving to Maoling, Guo Xie dismissed most of the guests, but as soon as he arrived in Guanzhong, whether he recognized him or not, Guanzhong Xianhao came to make friends, and Guo Xie soon gathered some people around him.
The so-called virtuous and heroic, eighty percent of them are like Guo Jie, things gather by like, and people are divided by groups. Therefore, none of the doormen present today are easy to match.
Regardless of whether the doormen's recognition is true or not, it can be seen that Guo Xie is really happy in his heart, and guesses that there are three reasons why he is happy.
First: I made a friend who is very good at kung fu;
Second: the doormen accepted me;
But the most important thing is the third: a few days ago, Guo Xie was defeated by me within 20 moves, and that time I did my best because of anger, and today without doing my best, all the challengers and I can't pass 15 moves, which is enough to prove that although his Guo Daxia's kung fu is under me alone, it is still above all of them, and it also makes everyone see that losing to a master like me is really glorious despite defeat.
In fact, I am the most cunning one, fifteen tricks, I deliberately sell him well, I believe he must be able to see.
At the moment, everyone is harmonious, the lobby is full of the sound of pushing glasses and changing lamps, calling friends, Chinese drinking is never elegant and quiet, it has been the same since ancient times.
My amount of alcohol has always been good, no matter who comes to toast, I don't refuse to come, but the more I drink, the whiter my face becomes, and if I say more, I go out and vomit for a while, and immediately it is like a drop of wine.
During the banquet, it was Guo Xie who drank until his glass was empty, and I still wondered, didn't history say that Guo Xie didn't know how to drink? Why didn't he get drunk with a thousand glasses today? When he went out to solve his physiological problems, he picked up his cup and smelled it.
After three rounds of drinking, I was also slightly drunk, and finally I couldn't hold it back, so I approached him and asked, "Mr. Guo, is there any news about that thief?"
Guo Xie looked at me confidently and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry, since you have responded to this matter, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation to my brother, and within three days, I will bring that person to see you." ”
As soon as I was happy, I clapped my hands and said, "Great, so that on the night of the full moon on August 15, I can go home." ”
Guo Xie listened thoughtfully and asked: "Doesn't Brother Liu live in the Western Regions for a long time? Could it be that there are other relatives in Dahan? I don't know where I am at home? Why do you have to go home on August 15?"
He asked a series of questions, and I realized that I had lost my words, so the ancients said: Wine can make mistakes, and if you say too much, you will lose. It's not bad at all.
Hurriedly smiled, blinked while recalling the content of my nonsense about him, and tried his best to lie: "Although my mother has passed away, my father's relatives are still there, and they live in ...... A small place with a little-known name, Mr. Guo doesn't know either. As for August 15th, oh, we have a custom in our family that the night of the full moon on August 15th is a day for family reunion. ”
Secretly waved a cold sweat, and said: "In fact, that jade ring is not only a family heirloom, but also the identity certificate of my younger brother, when they see the jade, they will recognize me as a descendant of the Liu family." ”
Guo Xie suddenly realized and said, "I see, no wonder Brother Liu is so concerned about this jade." ”
Nothing went wrong, and I was greatly relieved.
At this moment, Piang walked unsteadily with a wine glass in his hand, and saw that his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and his eyes were as red as rabbits, and he said to me loudly with drunkenness: "Liu...... Sir, in the next life...... Except for Umber, there is no ...... I haven't admired anyone. Today, sir, you are me...... I admire it from the bottom of my heart...... Second person ......"
One of the most tiring things in the world is listening to the drunkard, and when I finally heard him cut to the topic, I was startled, and he said, "So, today...... Sir must promise to be in the ...... Asking for ......" said and knelt in front of me with a "plop", breaking a historical record for me and being kneeled for the first time.
I was startled, and hurriedly tried to help him, but he said that he would not get up even if he died: "If you don't ...... Grant me what I ask, and I will ...... Long...... Long kneeling can't be done. ”
I opened my eyes wide and smiled wryly and said, "What kind of request does it need to be so serious?"
He actually kowtowed to the ground with a "bang", and the sound was so loud that I almost couldn't help jumping. He said, "Please sir...... Take me as an apprentice!"
I couldn't close my eyes and mouth wide open.
Shi Potian was not so surprised, he never thought that I could accept apprentices when he was so old, not to mention how old his brother is, let alone in his thirties, he even wants to worship me as a teacher? Not to mention that I will leave in a few months and never come back, even if I really can't go back in this life, I have never thought about being a master.
As soon as he raised his head like this, a few guys coaxed him to sing the shadow: "Please take me as an apprentice." ”
A bunch of drunken insane!
I didn't want to pay attention to them, so I used the excuse of going to the toilet to slip away, but Guo Xie opened his mouth "in time": "Brother Liu, you should respond to their request, otherwise no matter where you go, they will always be with you." ”
I was about to refuse, but he didn't let me speak, and said: "I still have an idea, either don't do it, do it and make it bigger, it's better to pay for it in Xia, Brother Liu, how about you open an apprenticeship in Chang'an?"
Of course not! What a bastard idea!
I opened my mouth again, but he took the lead again, and said: "I know that Brother Liu is eager to return to his hometown, but it is still five months away from August 15, and after finding Yuhuan, Brother Liu may wish to stay in Chang'an for a few more days, and then return to his hometown in August." As for whether you will return to Chang'an in the future, it is all up to you, brother, what do you think of such an arrangement?"
This is simply a forcible retention!
But looking at Guo Jie's serious attitude, I really can't refuse him, this person is bold on the surface, but in fact, he is the most angry, if I don't agree to him, I'm afraid that things with Hetian Yu will be very bad.
Thinking about it, anyway, there are still more than five months before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and these five months still have to eat and live, and opening a martial arts hall to accept apprentices is not a good way to make a living, at least 10,000 times stronger than being a thief.
Just wait for Hetian Yu to arrive, and disappear mysteriously on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he can't find me when he goes to heaven and earth.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately promised him happily: "Okay, since Mr. Guo is so kind, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
Guo Xie laughed and said: "Brother Liu has a refreshing temperament and has won my heart. ”
I gestured and laughed with him.
Until this time, I still thought that everything was in my own hands, and I never thought that these many things had been arranged a long time ago.
Maybe everything was already arranged from the time I fell into this plane, and I just jumped in at the right time.
The banquet lasted from noon to dusk, and everyone dispersed, and in the end only Guo Jie, who had not eaten a drop of wine, remained sober in the end.
I still had some consciousness left, and I vaguely knew that it was a girl who helped me to my room, and then I fell asleep unconscious.
When I woke up again, it was already three poles in the sun, I felt that my mouth was dry and my headache was splitting, I hurriedly got up to find water to drink, and when the door sounded, someone walked in, looking at me with a smile, it was no one else, it was Xiujiao.
She was taken aback, and she couldn't bother to drink the water and asked her, "Why are you? Why did you come? When did you come?" Uncle Zhao knew?" She was amused by my series of questions and said, "You better drink saliva first." As he spoke, he poured water into a porcelain bowl and poured me water. (At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there was no real porcelain, just glazed pottery, but it was already called porcelain, and at this time bronze was not completely declining, and lacquer ware was becoming popular.) )
After drinking the water, his mind was clearer, and he heard Xiujiao say, "Actually, I arrived last night." Fortunately, it came in time, otherwise Brother Dan, you are so drunk, and I am afraid that your true identity would have been exposed long ago. ”
Only then did I realize that the clothes on my body had been changed, and I broke out in a cold sweat: "You helped me change it?"
Xiujiao nodded: "I told my father that I wanted to come to Chang'an to be your maid, and I begged him for a long time before he agreed." ”
"Does your father know I'm a woman?" I asked.
Xiujiao shook her head and said, "I promise you that you will be able to do it if you keep your promise, I am telling my father...... I like you very much, and I want to get close to you under the pretense of being a maid, and he agreed. ”
Can a woman in the Han Dynasty be so proactive?
Can parents in the Han Dynasty be so open?
It seems that I am a stubborn old antique.
But Xiujiao is just what I want, there are many caring people around me, so as not to happen last night in the future, I'm afraid it will really be a goof.
"But are you really just here to be my maid?" I wondered.
Xiujiao blushed and laughed in a low voice: "The most important thing in a woman's life is to marry a wishful husband, and I am not young." ”
I know that this is the case! Chang'an has more opportunities in the end.
In ancient times, men and women married early, at the age of twelve or thirteen, their bodies had not yet grown and they had already become husbands and wives, and they only entered adolescence at the age of fourteen or fifteen to be fathers and mothers, and Xiujiao was only fifteen years old this year, but she was already considered an older youth.
Alas, the mutilation of the seedlings of the country! (this is the emotion that every traverser must express when he mentions this matter)
I stared at her, and she blushed in embarrassment.
I thought for a while and said, "Of course it's good for you to stay, but your name has to be changed, Xiujiao Xiujiao, it's too difficult to pronounce." "It's actually too rustic.
Xiujiao's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Dan is a learned person, please give me a new name." ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "Just call it Zhao Min, it's nice and easy to remember." ”
Zhao Min in Heaven and Dragon Slayer has always been a woman I admire, and today I gave it to Xiujiao for nothing, hoping that Jin Daxia would not scold me.
Xiujiao muttered and repeated the two flats, smiled and bowed and said, "Thank you Brother Dan for giving me the name, I will be called Zhao Min in the future." ”
She diligently helped me change my clothes, and then said, "Mr. Guo Xie came early in the morning and is waiting in the hall." ”
Guo Xie is here, is there any news from Hetian Yu?
I was overjoyed, and after a rash freshening up, I hurriedly ran to the hall.
Guo Xie was really sitting drinking tea, and when he saw me hurriedly coming over, he took my hand with great interest and said, "Brother, come with me." "I can't help but say that I will go out.
Ha, it seems that Hetian Yu is really hopeful.
As he walked out of the gate, he walked all the way to Chang'an Avenue, and after walking dozens of meters, Guo Xie raised his hand and said, "It's here." ”
When I saw it, it was a mansion with high courtyard walls and high gates, and I didn't know which high-ranking official and rich man was home.
was wondering what Guo Xie was doing, but when he saw the door open, a group of people came out, and the first one was Piang. Some of them were Guo Jie's doormen, and some didn't know each other at all.
When I saw them come to me, they knelt down in the dust and saluted, "Disciples, meet the master." ”
I was stunned and hurriedly asked them to get up.
Of course, I remember last night's opening of the museum, but I was surprised that it was too fast. Even if such a big thing is put in the modern era that pays special attention to speed, it will not be like this, as if it has been prepared for a long time.
This Guo Xie actually takes this matter so seriously!!
Guo Xie saw the doubts in my heart, and said with a smug smile: "This mansion was bought by a friend in Guanzhong to give it to me, and it has been idle, and it finally came in handy today, and the house is all available, Brother Liu to see what is still missing, Brother Foolish ordered someone to buy and buy it, in the future, this mansion will be used by your brother to open a museum and teach apprentices, Brother Liu, please give the name of the museum." ”
I smiled bitterly, today is eighty percent of the name day, either to name people or to name houses. Then he cheered up and said, "Let's call it Xiao Liu Pavilion." "Give up the word "martial", so as not to be dazzling. As for the word "Xiao Liu", Liu is naturally me, and which one will Xiao be besides Xiao Jian?
Xiao Jian, I really miss you!
Guo Xie was puzzled, probably thinking that this name was very strange and ugly, and asked, "What is the purpose of the word Xiao Liu?"
I lazily said, "Nothing, I like it." ”
He shook his head, read it twice and sighed: "Xiao Liu Pavilion, Xiao Liu Pavilion, Zhen Nai ......" What is really it, he didn't say it, it is estimated that it will not be a good word.
In any case, Liu Dan (now publicly named Liu Dan) is about to open a martial arts hall in the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago to accept apprentices, and a new page has been opened in the history of the Han Dynasty.
As the saying goes, be a monk for a day and hit the bell for a day, although I didn't stay here for a long time, but after all, it was the first time to accept disciples, and I am afraid it was also the last time.
So in the morning, I drafted a series of terms and conditions, listing the qualifications for signing up for my Xiao Liu Pavilion and the rules to be followed.
I spoke orally, and Pion took the pen, writing crooked seal characters on a pile of heavy books, and as he wrote, he made strange noises.
For no other reason than that I said that what he wrote was too unexpected and too bizarre for him to be beyond the imagination of a primitive mind.
Finally I said to him, "Go out and tell everyone that whoever wants to join me will take the exam tomorrow." ”
