After entering the academy, Ling Lingqi had to show his national skills in front of others. Now he doesn't need to hide anything, because Wenshan Academy is originally a dual cultivation of civil and martial arts, and students have to practice martial arts in addition to learning literature, of course, Ling Lingqi's national art is still very different from the martial arts of Wenshan Academy. However, this will not attract too much attention, because there are also many Jianghu sects in the Southern Song Dynasty, and there are all kinds of strange martial arts.

Of course, the kung fu taught at Wenshan Academy is mainly swordsmanship and archery. Because for Confucianism, it is necessary to master the six arts, which were handed down by Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism. It is said that Confucius was nine feet tall, which is about one meter nine when measured today. Confucius had great arm strength, was particularly good at archery, and Confucius seemed to be able to do light work. In the Analects, it is said that when Confucius walked briskly, he was like a bird spreading its wings, and in the words of later generations, he walked as fast as he flew. The other is swordsmanship, although there is no clear record, but through some records, it can be speculated that Confucius's swordsmanship is also quite powerful.

There is a story in Zhuangzi that there was once a man named Thief, who was the younger brother of Liu Xiawei, and there were 9,000 men under his command, who ran rampant all over the world, harassed the princes of various countries, broke through houses and doors, plundered cattle and horses, robbed women, completely ignored his parents and brothers, and did not sacrifice to his ancestors. When Confucius heard about it, he said to Liu Xiaji, I am willing to persuade him.

Liu Xiaji said that the thief is a person, the change of feelings is like a sudden storm, brave and strong, he will be happy if he obeys his wishes, and he will lose his temper against his will, Mr. Don't go to see him, it's too dangerous. Confucius didn't listen, went to meet the thief, and only brought two disciples to dare to meet the bandit leader, which shows that Confucius is brave and brave.

Although it is recorded in the Zhuangzi that the thief held down the hilt of his sword and threatened Confucius when he saw Confucius, Confucius still persuaded the thief not to be evil, although the final result was that the thief knocked Confucius away, but the story was certainly not so simple. Confucius must have relied on his superb light skills and swordsmanship to break out of the encirclement and retreat with his whole body.

Confucianism requires Confucian scholars to master six techniques, called the six arts, namely etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. And Lu Fangweng, the founder of Wenshan Academy, is a Confucian general. He once rode a horse and led an army to repel the Jin people, and once killed a tiger, which shows that his martial arts are also first-class. Therefore, the so-called scholars in later generations have no power to restrain chickens, which is complete nonsense, and it is impossible for real Confucian scholars to do this, and practicing martial arts and swords is one of the compulsory courses.

The sword is a traditional Chinese cold weapon, which is thin and double-edged, beautiful and elegant, soft and rigid. Legend has it that Pei Wen, an ancient Chinese sword, once died thirty-one tigers in one day, and was thrown up a sword dozens of feet high, and was able to catch it with the scabbard in his hand, so that it went straight into the sheath, which is really a sword trick.

The sword is also known as the "King of a Hundred Soldiers". The Yellow Emperor picked the bronze sword of the first mountain, and inscribed it with astronomical ancient characters. Before the Western Zhou Dynasty, the sword was only a symbol and talisman weapon for the powerful, but in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the position of the sword in weapons became more and more important. Many swords appeared, such as the cadre Mo Ye and others, and at the same time, swordsmanship also began to develop. In particular, the style of Confucian swords and fencing prevailed, and the practice of swords and martial arts spread throughout the government and the opposition.

Various swordsmanship began to appear. Once, the king of Yue Goujian will meet a superb swordsmanship of the mulberry girl, the girl incisively expounded a set of swordsmanship theory, and then danced the sword on the spot, flashing and tumbling, flying up and down, the sword is like a meteor, people are like a rabbit, the king of Yue saw the clapping and praised, and gave the name Yue Nu Sword. Later, the Yue Nu swordsmanship slowly became a famous swordsmanship in the martial arts, especially the chivalrous women, and there were many cultivators.

After Ling Lingqi entered Wenshan Academy, he also practiced swordsmanship with his classmates, and at the same time practiced national art by himself.

In fact, for Ling Lingqi, practicing this ancient swordsmanship was also helpful to his cultivation of national arts. There are also swordsmanship in the national arts, but it is mainly based on routines, which are characterized by lightness and agility, graceful and chic, smooth momentum, flexible and changeable, and a combination of rigidity and softness. For example, the famous Taiji Sword, Bagua Sword, and Wudang Sword, Ling Lingqi will also have some. Therefore, he learned the swordsmanship of Wenshan Academy very quickly, which made the swordsmanship professor and his classmates a little impressed.

Of course, there are still many differences between national martial arts and ancient martial arts. Modern national art is developed in the environment of foreign guns and foreign artillery, it pays more attention to the kung fu of killing people without using weapons, which is why the Republic of China period is the golden stage of Chinese national art, when there are many masters, all of them are developing in the struggle with the dark Qing government and the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Practice is the foundation of national art. The real masters of national art must have put a lot of effort into this practice of calligraphy, and they will sweat profusely. When Ling Lingqi was in her previous life, she often heard Master's words: Master's sweat is boiled into salt more than your baby eats! Guoshu Kung Fu is not just a matter of learning a little theory, it must be practiced, and it is very difficult to get started, let alone practice to the bright and dark strength, not only to practice, but also to fight, to fight.

If you practice the kung fu of the national arts, can you beat people? It is not right to say that you can't at all. But how powerful it is, that's also a lie, and if you really encounter someone who knows how to play well, you will definitely have to suffer. In addition to internal strength, endurance and speed, etc., there must also be a way of playing! This is why the real masters of national arts are all played, and Ling Lingqi has also played no less than 100 competitions in his previous life.

Of course, any martial art has one thing in common, and that is that it needs to be practiced over time. One day of practice, one day of exercise, one day of no practice of ten days of space; winter practice three nine, summer practice three dogs; boxing practice a thousand times, the law of self-emergence; boxing a hundred times of familiarity, a thousand times of refinement, ten thousand times of the gods; there is no other boxing method, but practice makes skill, and so on, all of them only speak one word, practice! The same is true of the swordsmanship taught in Wenshan Academy, and the students have to practice for an hour every day.

Swordsmanship not only has to be practiced, but also has to be tested, but the swordsmanship that is performed to show people is not real swordsmanship. Wenshan Academy also pays attention to the practicality of swordsmanship, because some of the students and disciples who go out from here are going to participate in the martial arts test and enter the army to serve, and martial arts are naturally very important. Therefore, every year Wenshan Academy holds a big competition to test the students' performance in learning swordsmanship.

Just two months after Ling Lingqi entered Wenshan Academy, he encountered the annual Wenshan Academy Sword Fighting Conference. Many students want to win the ideal ranking in this swordsmanship conference, so this competition must be a fierce struggle and a good opportunity for actual combat.
