It's cool on the mountain Chapter 42 The Sea of Books
There is a hexagonal six-story building to the south of Taihe Palace, and Guo Datie took Mu Sanqian back from Houshan Waterfall and went there directly
The monks do not pay attention to fine clothes and food, and the days on the mountain are basically simple and hard. Even if the pilgrims were in good season, the sesame oil money was piled up in the merit box, and no one was able to add a few more brand-new robes to improve everyone's food.
But in this six-story building called Wuya, Mu Sanqian saw the accumulation of Wudang Mountain.
"Don't look at our old houses and old tiles in Wudang, they are not as brilliant as those other mountain sects, but we definitely don't lose anyone in terms of book collection. From one to six floors, you can climb the stairs, from simple to difficult, and the exercises are enough for you to learn for a lifetime. ”
Speaking of the Wudang book collection, Guo Datie is extremely proud.
"Piff is not guilty of his crimes, Wudang has such a treasure, why didn't he see someone guarding it all the way? You must know that you are not afraid of people stealing anything, you are afraid of people worrying about it. ”
If it weren't for Guo Datie leading Mu Sanqian over, he would not have guessed that this six-story small building would hide countless precious classics.
"This is Wudang Jinding, there are several other uncles in charge, who would think so much about running to steal books?"
"That's just as well. ”
Mu Sanqianyi is right to think about it, there is an old man like a master who is so high that he is like a monster, not to mention the ordinary thief, even if the master who has become famous in the rivers and lakes comes, it is equivalent to throwing himself into the net. And there is more than one old monster on the mountain who is like the master.
"In the back mountain, Lu Zijiao's nephew also said that the practice pays attention to the solid foundation and step by step, and you can read the books in the attic casually, but it is best to choose some easy ones to start with. ”
"Senior brother, you also know that I only learned the superficial introductory exercises of breathing and breathing with the master before, and I don't know anything about the sect's moves, what swords, swords, sticks, and gunnery, but I have seen the infantry versus the drill, but I estimate that it is far from the personal martial arts, so I want to pick a few books to see, and if I meet someone in the future, at least I can know what he is, and I want to deal with it." ”
"It's reasonable for my junior brother to say this, then you can read here quietly, and I'll go and tell Lu Zijiao to ask him to finish the morning class and bring you some food. ”
"Then there is Senior Brother Lao, when Zijiao comes, I will personally thank him. ”
After a brief explanation, Guo Datie left, although reading martial arts books can't make people eat a big fat man in one go, but it can also open people's eyes. Just like antique appreciation is a truth, for people who soak in the pile of treasures all day long, they can naturally distinguish at a glance when they encounter fakes, and the quality and temperament of genuine goods have long been deeply rooted in the bottom of their hearts.
It is estimated that Senior Brother Mu also thinks of this way, and he has seen a lot of profound and exquisite moves, and maybe he can realize something, after all, Uncle Master Mu said in his letter that Senior Brother Mu is a natural wisdom root, and his understanding must be better than his own dull brain.
Mu Sanqianqiang resisted the urge to pedal upstairs to look at the flowers, since the most important thing at the moment is the door test, those outer disciples are estimated to have just started, at most they are a beginner in the middle realm, at most in the high realm. Therefore, stopping on the first floor to watch more should be enough to cope with the door test the day after tomorrow. The more the better, the more you see, the more you see, the more you see, the more you know, but Mu Sanqian still understands the truth that you can't chew too much.
The Boundless Loft looks hexagonal from the outside, and the inner floor is surrounded by a circle of circular bookshelves around the inner wall, and there are seven or eight rows in an orderly row on the open space inside, in short, it looks dazzling.
Fortunately, there is a general classification on each shelf, the internal strength and mental method is a category, the external fists and feet are a category, and the weapons are a category, which is clearly organized and chaotic.
Thinking that the only thing he could use now was the pitch-black ring ruler, which was about the same shape as a sword, so Mu Sanqian walked straight to the bookshelf of swordsmanship.
Mu Sanqian's height can only reach the third layer, he started from the first layer below, and gradually looked up, first found a copy of the "Meridian Sword Sutra", and after reading two pages, he found that it was a kendo classic, about the origin and evolution of swordsmanship, and after roughly browsing, he put Mu Sanqian back in its original place. I found another copy of "Thirty-two Swords", this one is placed at the end of the first layer, in addition to explaining the sword moves, it also roughly talks about the combination of qi and sword moves, which is also an entry-level thing.
The books on the second shelf are noticeably more difficult to read, as they are almost always explained from beginning to end, with illustrations drawn on each move.
After looking at Mu Sanqian, he memorized a lot of simple moves, but he didn't feel much of the flavor in them.
"The third layer up is all the moves left by some senior masters who use swords on the rivers and lakes, and if there is no certain foundation for these, it is useless to just see the moves. ”
"Master. ”
Mu Sanqian looked back, and Zhang Mingjun appeared behind him at some point.
These high-ranking people are too elusive, often standing behind you and watching you speak for a long time, and people who are not used to it will not be scared sooner or later.
"It is really good to broaden your horizons and integrate the strengths of each family. ”
Zhang Mingjun did come for a long time, and he didn't speak out for a long time, interrupting the apprentice to concentrate on reading. Mu Sanqian almost swept from the first layer to the third layer, and Zhang Mingjun immediately guessed what his apprentice wanted. If he could concentrate on reading one of them, it would be a bit out of line with his clever personality.
"But you've seen them all now, and it's not a good idea to be aimless. ”
"Then master, can you help me pick out a few books for me to take a good look at? Anyway, you are busy with affairs, and I probably don't have time to teach me, so you just pick a few books for me, and it will save me the trouble of squatting here." ”
Mu Sanqian saw that there was a savior, so where is the reason to let go.
"It's fine. ”
In fact, Mu Sanqian did not say that Zhang Mingjun also intended to do this, although he accepted Mu Sanqian as a disciple of his own lineage, but Wudang affairs were busy, and Senior Brother Yao Jian also sent back letters in the south, and he could not stay in the mountains for a long time, so he simply chose some good books for him to read, if there was anything he didn't understand, he asked Chen Changming and Shang Rong, and led him into the door and paved the way, I believe that with Mu Sanqian's talent, it will definitely not be bad.
"Wudang attaches great importance to the collection of books, and the name of this building is boundless, which is taken from the phrase "learning the sea without bounds". A few pages of yellow paper with hundreds of thousands of words, but what is recorded is what a person has learned all his life, so the collection of books in the Boundless Attic is still more expensive than the gold thousand taels outside. ”
Zhang Mingjun said as he walked around to the other side of the bookshelf and took out a copy of "Sword Washing Record" from the fourth floor.
"The sword has the reputation of the gentleman in the soldiers, the earliest sword is used to sacrifice the ritual weapon, the sword body is slender and slender, can stab, sharpen, flirt, the strength of the weak to defeat the strong, is four or two dials of a thousand pounds of skillful work. The weapons on the battlefield are one inch long and one inch strong, so most of the generals on the battlefield are masters of making spears and swords heavy, and they must use knives in hand-to-hand combat. The back of the knife is wide and thick to bear the force, and the sharp blade can be chopped, these two actions are the most simple and effective. Therefore, ordinary soldiers and martial artists are fierce with knives. Cultivation has reached a certain level, and martial arts cultivation has to return to the basics, and the master's moves are all in an instant, and there are few such things that come and go. This "Sword Washing Record" looks right for you. ”
After Zhang Mingjun finished speaking, he took out a copy of "Sword Technique" from the fourth layer and handed it to Mu Sanqian behind him.
"This "Sword Technique" and "Washing the Sword Record", the former carefully studies the moves, the position, the hold, the timing, the angle, the response, a move and a style have a drill analysis, which is considered to be the best in the sword moves, the latter attaches importance to the theory, starting from the root of each action, intercepting and counterattacking, which contains the ideas that are quite precious. ”
After selecting these two books, Zhang Mingjun chose the next one, obviously thinking more deeply, and hesitated for a long time before taking down a copy of "Yanyunlu" from the top layer.
"Martial arts practice with the growth of realm experience, mentality will also change, this "Yanyunlu" is a Jianghu predecessor to write about the life, in addition to his own affairs, is every time of improvement, what he understands and thinks are in it. ”
Counting the previous two books, Zhang Mingjun carefully considered it in front of the bookshelf for a long time before selecting three.
"Martial arts all the way to the philosophical realm of these vain things are not counted, in the final analysis, it is just fighting, there is a high ability to play, there is a low ability to play, there is a low ability to have a low way, I am looking for you a copy of "Pushing Hands", fists and feet kung fu body position, qi flow realm experience, plus this "Pushing Hands", it is complete. ”
Zhang Mingjun finally added a copy of "Pushing Hands" to Mu Sanqian in the category of fists and feet.
"You live close to Chen Changming, if you don't know where you can, you can ask him. ”
"What about you, master?"
Zhang Mingjun is famous all over the world in fighting, wouldn't it be better if he could learn directly from his master.
"Out of breath, I haven't heard the saying that the master leads the door to practice in a person. I can't follow you all day. ”
"Then master, you led me all into the door, I'm still outside with one foot and I can't come in!"
Mu Sanqian carefully held the four ancient books, for fear that one of them would be damaged by accident, and he would not be able to afford it at that time.
"Nonsense, don't say two feet after coming out of the dragon cave, your whole body is already in the door!"
Zhang Mingjun knocked Mu Sanqian's head, and then walked outside the boundless attic with a smile.
"Master, didn't you come to see me when I took the door exam?"
Mu Sanqian walked a few steps quickly to catch up.
"Those senior brothers of yours are so partial to you, are you still afraid that you won't be able to pass the door test?"
"Hehe, the senior brothers naturally feel sorry for the little junior brother. ”
The two came out of the boundless attic, Zhang Mingjun went to Taihe Palace, and Mu Sanqian went straight back to the thatched house.
On the road, Mu Sanqian muttered "Washing Sword Records" and "Meridian Sword Sutra", and suddenly remembered that his ring ruler could be used, but after all, it was a little bit worse, and the ring ruler was extremely light, there was no weight at all, and it was best to have a sword if you want to practice sword moves, at least in terms of weight, and you can practice it solidly in the future.
It is estimated that he will trouble Senior Brother Guo Datie again.
Mu Sanqian thought to himself.
