Chapter 18: The Struggle for Life
The pain made it difficult to walk, and when I returned to the college, it was already past noon.
Xie Qingyun was a little out of strength, his face was also pale, beads of sweat were constantly slipping down, and he was about to wash his face with well water and go to see Nie Fuzi again, but as soon as he entered the front yard, he saw Nie Fuzi already sitting on the stone bench with a cold face.
Having said that, Nie Fuzi has always been so cold-faced, and the little boy is not afraid at all. However, after the appointed time, the young man felt that with the surname of Nie Fuzi, he estimated that he would not be more prepared for himself, and immediately asked about the content of the "Sage Sutra".
Seeing that Xie Qingyun was crippled and embarrassed, and his hands were stained with some residual blood, Nie Shi was unmoved, and when Xie Qingyun jumped closer, he opened his mouth and asked: "The sage has clouds, the water shape avoids the height and tends to go down, what is the shape of the soldier?"
As soon as they met, they didn't ask why they were injured, and no matter what the extent of his injuries were, they said three days ago that they would take the "Sage Sutra" for young people, and when the time passed, Nie Shi refused to delay.
Xie Qingyun is not panicked or chaotic, the fight has been completed, and the injury will be treated later, after Nie Fuzi's questioning, it is impossible to say that the third step of studying in the academy is closer.
However, his strength was a little weak, Xie Qingyun didn't care about anything else, and after bowing his hand, he sat down opposite Nie Fuzi with a loud voice, and then slowly responded: "The shape of the soldier avoids the real and hits the void, the water flows because of the terrain, and the soldier is omitted because of the enemy's situation." Therefore, the army is impermanent, and the water is impermanent. Those who can seek victory through the changes of the enemy are called gods. ”
Nie Shi didn't care whether Xie Qingyun was sitting or standing, and when he saw that he was answering fluently, he didn't stop, and immediately asked, "Where does this sentence come from, and what is the solution?"
"From the sage scripture "Soldiers, Fiction and Reality", for the ancient sages to write the art of war strategy. Today, when the Martial Emperor conquers the world and expells the desolate beasts, he also uses many of them. The meaning of this sentence is that the form of a soldier is like water, and the water avoids the high place and flows to the low place, and the enemy must first avoid its strength and attack its weak point. Water determines the flow direction according to the topography, and the use of troops is based on the enemy's situation to formulate a strategy. Those who can use corresponding strategies to win according to the changes of the enemy can be called using soldiers like gods. ”
"Have you read it before?" Nie Shi was a little unconvinced, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Read. There were more beads of sweat on Xie Qingyun's pale face, but he was laughing. Three days ago, Nie Fuzi had a strange face because he had agreed to be questioned, and today he was slightly surprised to answer his question again.
Nie Shi snorted, noncommittal, and continued to ask: "Anglers respect, not for fish......
Xie Qingyun replied: "Bait rats and insects are not love. From "With People", it is said that the angler is not for the sake of feeding the fish, and the rat catcher feeds the rat with medicinal bait, nor does he love the rat. This means teaching people to learn to discern temptations, even if it is written with people, but it can be put in military warfare, and the same. ”
Nie Shi coughed, and raised his eyebrows again: "The five colors are blinding......"
"The five flavors are refreshing, and the five tones are deafening. Xie Qingyun quickly continued: "From the "Tao Chapter", although the five colors are beautiful, the five flavors are delicious, and the five sounds are beautiful, if you pursue these endlessly, it will make people crazy, which is the reason why some warriors and craftsmen will fight each other for profit. ”
Nie Shi raised his eyebrows again, and at this moment, his eyes widened a little, and then he asked another question.
In this way, Xie Qingyun answered ten questions in a row, and every sentence was transparent. Nie Shi's eyebrows raised ten times.
"Not bad. After the eleventh question, Nie Shi finally stopped asking, seemed to sigh softly, his eyebrows fell, and he said simply: "A few people beat you." ”
"Three, two freshmen, and one foreign martial artist. Xie Qingyun told the truth.
Nie Shi waved his hand and said undoubtedly: "Let's go, go out to learn a craft, and you don't have to be beaten here." "I can't beat Xie Qingyun, Nie Shisuo's surname is straightforward.
"Master wants to drive me away?" Xie Qingyun smiled and asked rhetorically.
I thought that the third step would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to be formed inadvertently, Nie Shi's words seemed to be indifferent, but Xie Qingyun understood that Nie Fuzi was afraid of delaying his future.
can make the master think about his own future, it can be seen that the master is really as the master said, his temper is too straightforward. It's so straightforward that it's hard to approach, and it's so straightforward that it's easy to get along with, as long as you treat him with sincerity, he will treat you with sincerity.
Seeing Xie Qingyun smiling, Nie Shi's brows furrowed even tighter: "Don't laugh again, where is the injury?!" I'll help you heal and send you away." You can't practice martial arts, you can't practice craftsman, stay in the academy, isn't it fun?!"
"Literature is based on martial arts, and martial arts are civilized and Taoist. Xie Qingyun must have laughed: "I came to study for the sake of enlightenment." In the same way, I have to read good books, but I can't be a nerd, I have to practice martial arts. ”
Nie Shi disdainful: "Without the Yuan Wheel, you are destined to not be able to practice martial arts, and you are not ashamed." ”
The boy stopped laughing. Is it destined, he didn't think so, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again, his eyes were clear, and his tone was serious: "My father said that everyone in the world is destined, but since it is determined by God, then no one can say it, because no one is God." ”
"I thought, since no one knows what the mandate of heaven is, then the so-called can't practice martial arts and cultivate craftsmen without the Yuan Wheel is not the mandate of heaven, but just human life, the life that people think. No one has ever looked at a warrior without a Yuan Wheel, and if you don't prove it, you won't have it, so I'm going to fight. Maybe you can find a secret method to reopen the Yuan Wheel, or find another way to cultivate martial arts. Whatever it is, in short, you have to fight!"
Xie Qingyun has never said this to anyone, his parents don't know, Qin Dong doesn't know, his master doesn't know, and even he himself doesn't know. If it weren't for Nie Shi's sentence that he was destined not to practice martial arts, if it weren't for the tragic fight just now, the fight was so happy, and he was now in a terrible pain all over his body, he couldn't arouse his unconvinced spirit, with this heart, he understood his state of mind, it turned out that he had been fighting, not supporting, but fighting!
"Fight for your life, fight for your life......" Nie Shi shook his head: "How can you fight, fight for an injury?"
"Winning or losing is a common thing, and if you get hurt this time, you may not have to hurt next time. Originally, they were going to break my tendons and hamstrings, but didn't I fight for it?"
"You won?" Nie Shi didn't believe it: "One fights three, and there is an external martial artist, how can you win?"
"I didn't win, but I ......" Xie Qingyun told the truth, and after talking about the tragedy in detail, he added: "If you fight, there is hope, and if you don't fight, it will be over." ”
Hearing Xie Qingyun say the tragic fight, Nie Shi's expression remained faint until the sentence "If you fight, there is hope, if you don't fight, it will be over". Nie Fuzi's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, slamming his thick palm on the stone table beside him.
I could only hear the sound of "boom!", and the earth-shattering rumble spread throughout the academy, and the stone table was overwhelmed, and it was torn apart.
"A good fight for life, a good fight for hope is hope!" Nie Shi looked up to the sky and roared angrily.
"Okay, good, good boy!" After the roar, Nie Shi only felt that the stuffiness that had been accumulated in his chest for a long time was swept away like this, and his mood was much happier. When he looked at Xie Qingyun again, the little boy was grinning at himself, and then he planted himself from the stone bench with a grunt.
Xie Qingyun couldn't hold back the pain of hurting his leg anymore and fainted.
