Volume 2, Barbaric Northern Regions, Chapter 151, No martial arts, first cultivate the mind
The middle-aged man moved with one hand, and gently held the woman's hand to pick up the dish, and then with the other hand, he picked up the dish and put it in the bowl in front of the woman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The woman seemed to know what she was going to say, so she stopped picking up the dishes, and took a small bite of the meal, and the middle-aged man said: "Thank you Mrs. for taking care of the family, I am relieved to see that the second elder is full of energy and his son is obedient and well-behaved." ”
The woman was about to say something, but the middle-aged man continued: "But I am a disciple of the Buddha, and I have always eaten less meat even in the military camp, and in the future, unless I do a big job, I will eat less meat at home." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the table again, pointed to one of the dishes and said, "And don't buy this valuable ingredient anymore, it's better to be simpler." ”
Hearing this, the woman put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked curiously: "The husband doesn't want to eat meat, the whole capital knows about it, and the concubine has paid attention to it. ”
The man nodded, as if he understood the woman's intentions, and then shook his head, sighed, and replied: "These things do have a special effect on people, and they can increase strength, but we who practice martial arts know that the human body has its own great supplements, you think about the royal one, it is not brocade clothes and jade food, but why is there an imperial doctor who can serve for several generations, in fact, the emperor is overworked and needs to take care of the people of the world, and the imperial doctor is attentive and only needs to take care of the emperor alone." ”
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Therefore, brocade clothes and jade food are not yet life-saving, at our age, what is the importance of longevity, good health, can see the growth of children, is the best, if you can do not move your thoughts, how to consume it, the body can be strong." Otherwise, why did my mother let me practice with the master since I was a child? ”
The middle-aged man seemed to remember the master, and hurriedly finished the food in his bowl, and then continued: "And we really can't use so many dishes, won't these unfinished dishes be wasted? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the baby who was eating, and continued: "But the child doesn't know these things yet, so it's no problem to make up for it, but it must not be overdone, so as not to have lust and affect the cultivation of the mind." ”
When the woman heard this, she began to frown a little, and didn't seem to have figured it out, and then when she heard the word "master", she nodded reluctantly, and then talked about the child, she looked at him, and then at the middle-aged man, who seemed to have figured out something, nodded heavily, and said: "These uneaten things, I told my subordinates not to get dirty, and give relief to the poor in the city, don't worry, husband, but I will pay attention to it in the future, as for our children, I don't know if we can go to the master to practice?"
The middle-aged man also put down the dishes and chopsticks at this time, and said: "Actually, it's the same as anyone who cultivates, if you don't practice martial arts, you should cultivate your mind first, and if you don't practice martial arts, you will cultivate virtue first." If he is willing to practice, he will be willing to accept him wherever he goes. ”
The child seemed to hear the word "practicing martial arts" at this time, and the speed of eating became obviously faster, and he took two bites quickly, and when the middle-aged man finished speaking, he replied: "Daddy, I have already memorized everything you told me to carry, and they all know the meaning, but, just..."
The middle-aged man said, "It's just hard to do?"
The child nodded, showing an aggrieved expression, and the middle-aged man continued: "The good roots have been planted, whether they can blossom and bear fruit, you still need to practice by yourself." As he spoke, he looked at the woman gratefully, and then said to the child: "Have you eaten clean, let's go to the martial arts arena in the back, and my father will teach you some moves, which can be regarded as a reward for your efforts." ”
The child looked at the bowl again, and then the chick pecked at the rice, and said, "It's been eaten." When the child saw the middle-aged man get up and pull the woman next to him to the back of the room, he quickly jumped off the stool and followed. Then a man who looked like a man came up and gathered up the uneaten things.
The child seemed to be in a hurry, running to the front, but because she had just finished eating, the woman still reminded her, but the child still walked out faster than the two, and after bypassing the screen blocking the back door, he went out of the back door, and stood outside and shouted to the two, as if he was very excited.
The middle-aged man did not speed up, but leisurely took the woman's hand and walked out.
And just out the back door, the change happened again.
............
The middle-aged man turned into an old man with a little gray temples in a blink of an eye, although he looked well maintained, but the vicissitudes in his eyes gave people an extreme sense of deterrence.
At this time, a woman led by the man had turned into a woman, but for some reason, she looked the same as before, and she did maintain a very young appearance, and the two still held hands and walked out. And the child in front of him is gone.
After walking for a while, crossing a gate, you will come to a large circular square, on both sides there are many shelves, on which there are many weapons, knives, guns, clubs, axes, hooks and forks, everything, and next to the square there seems to be some pergola built, in which there are tables and stools, which are supposed to be used for rest, but there is no one inside.
It's the afternoon now, the square is dusty, around this square, there are a lot of people, are all dressed in formal clothes to practice martial arts, and cheer from time to time, obviously cheering for the people in the field, the people in the field are obviously practicing something, I don't know who shouted: "Grandpa is here." ”
I saw that the sound of the impact in the dust quickly stopped, and then all the people around the square turned around, they were not very old, only ten years old, and out of the dust flying in the field, two sixteen or seventeen years old, respectively holding long knives and short swords, sweating profusely running to the weapon rack, just now they were obviously fighting, and a middle-aged man, straight over, thinking that it should be their referee and protection just now.
After a while, including the two young men who had put their weapons away, all the people had already walked to the side of the second elder, but these juniors seemed to be very afraid of the old man, and they all hid behind the middle-aged man, but they all looked at the old man, and some of them still lowered their heads, and the youngest one wanted to walk to the woman, but was stopped by him with his eyes.
After the middle-aged man saluted the two, he said, "Daddy and mother are here, and the child is taking the two of them to have a discussion, after all, they are going to join the army." ”
The old man's serious expression did not change, but asked, "Have you learned everything you should learn?"
The middle-aged man seemed to know what he was asking, and said, "Naturally, according to your instructions, the moral cultivation has been recognized by the abbot of the temple, and they have also been assigned tasks in the future. ”
The old man put away his seriousness at this time, but nodded plainly, and then looked at the two people next to the middle-aged man, and said, "I know that you are here today, so I have come to discuss with you." ”
After finishing speaking, I saw that the two young people did show a smile, as if they were looking forward to it, and looked at each other behind the middle-aged man, both nodding slightly with a smile, but it seemed that because the middle-aged man was here, he didn't dare to speak.
The middle-aged man saluted and said, "Let the child come to this kind of thing, you still don't need to use force." ”
And the woman next to the old man also gently tugged at his sleeve, as if she didn't know that he was going to play to compete with these grandchildren, and she didn't want him to play.
The old man didn't pay attention to the woman's tugging, but said lightly: "Why, I practice martial arts every day, and I still can't compete with them?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly replied, "Don't dare, don't dare, I know my father's ability, I am afraid that you will hurt them." ”
When the old man heard this, he didn't care about them, let go of the woman's hand, and walked directly to the shelf next to him, and said, "What if you hurt them, shed some blood now, so that you don't lose your life in the future, they have done a good job of virtue, but why have you regressed." ”
The middle-aged man seemed to know what the old man meant, but he was also out of concern, but he seemed to know that he was not speaking well, so he glanced at the little man next to him.
I saw that the youngest child quickly ran forward, came to the old man in front, took the initiative to hold hands with the old man, and said, "Grandpa, do you really want to use force?
The old man naturally felt it, and also took his hand, and continued to walk forward, but his pace slowed down significantly, and replied: "What's so difficult about this, it's just to guide them." If they can hurt me, I feel relieved to go to the battlefield. ”
Then two more children stepped forward and came to the old man's side, one of them pushed the other, and he listened to him take a child who was pushed and said: "Grandpa, grandpa, you should always rest more, if you are a guide, you can command Dad to do it, Dad can do it, he is similar to your moves." ”
The child who pushed people also said: "Yes, grandpa, when we go to bed today, you will get up, you still need to rest more." ”
When the old man heard this, he blew his beard that was raised, and said, "You all know that grandpa is up, why don't you get up and do your homework, and if everything is done by others, how can you rest assured." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man in the back also followed, and said: "Dad, you have already practiced today, let me come, you can rest more, it's really not good, it's good to ask them to practice with you tomorrow morning." ”
By this time the old man had already walked to a weapon rack, and without looking back, he let go of the child's hand, and then paced in front of the weapon rack.
