Chapter 1, Section 13, Shen Kanqiu, 062
Presumably, Qiu Chuji didn't hear Murong Chang's hatred and boasting of Haihai's strength to challenge Ren Tianqi and the three of them, and he didn't see Ren Tianqi helping Murong Changqi with his own true qi, so Ren Tianqi didn't care.
Seeing that someone had seen through his intentions, he was very annoyed, stepped forward, stood in front of Ren Tianqi, and said, "Then what kind of comparison should you make? This is the Tao that Murong Gongzi drew by himself, and he can't blame us and other brothers! What if the strong man is not convinced? Could it be that we two compare and compare, how about it?"
Qiu Chuji gave a deep salute to a little red, and said with a smile: "Wen Daxia is known as a thousand-handed scholar, and he has seen your Excellency make a hundred moves below, including sixteen swordsmanship and twenty-five routines, and he is willing to be a swordsman who is not your opponent!"
Qiu Chuji took another step forward and said in a low voice: "I understand that you are a little red, and you want to fulfill Ren Ye, so as to help him become famous in one fell swoop, and I also have this intention in Xia." He took a step back and said loudly: "I admire Ren Ye's skills, if I don't take this opportunity to learn from Ren Ye today, how can I have a chance to meet again in the future?
A little red and skeptical.
Ren Tianqi originally saw that everyone was a little itchy when he tried the competition, and he couldn't have fun fighting against Murong Changhe, but now he saw that someone came up to challenge the Murong family, and it was estimated that this person must be extraordinary, just to verify how his martial arts have progressed in the past few months, so he said: "Respect is better than obeying fate, but I don't know how to compare?"
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "Let's also take one hundred moves as the upper limit, and say that luck is not allowed in the sword in the first fifty moves, and the internal force can be used in the last fifty moves, and the competition is no longer limited to swordsmanship, and each shows its strengths in life, how?"
When Ren Tianqi heard this, he thought to himself how this person could have so many eyes and tricks, and he would have to beware of this person in the future, but this person's ideas were also attached to his appetite, so he said: "That's it." ”
Ren Qiu and the others came to Taichung with swords, each posed, and walked up. Both of them were not in a hurry to make a move, they were very cautious, and when they found an opportunity to take advantage of it, they only jumped forward and slowed down a few moves, and the other party only used their swords to defuse the attack, and did not attack with a backhand.
The heroes in the audience were puzzled by the slow comings and goings of the two of them on the stage like a play, and they were very unhappy and complaining; all the famous martial arts in the background, the heads of the big factions, all held their breath and stared carefully, and their hearts calculated the essence of the offensive and defensive ways of both sides.
Fifty moves passed, not up and down, Ren Qiu and the others changed their caution to risk at the same time, and swung their swords forward like a storm. Two clouds of silver light rolled around on the stage, and it was impossible to tell who was left and who was right. Ren Tianqi was lucky with the sword body, and cast the thirty-six styles of black water, knocking, pressing, throwing, and sucking, all of which were big open and closed, and the sword was strong and fierce. Qiu Chuji saw that he was at a disadvantage, and the two swords collided several times, which shocked the tiger's mouth numbly, and the sword almost took off his hand, so he immediately changed his attack to defense, and no longer bumped into each other.
Seeing that the eighty moves had passed, Ren Tianqi had a great heart to win, and he had a plan, and attacked three times in a row, forcing Qiu Chuji to take ten steps back and retreat to the edge of the platform. Ren Tianqi suddenly stopped not attacking, but luck in both hands, holding the sword and watching. Qiu Chuji was unable to parry, and when he was sweating, he suddenly saw that the other party stopped moving, and when he was surprised, Ren Tianqi swung his sword fiercely and slashed head-on, Qiu Chuji instinctively raised his sword and knocked out, expecting that Ren Tianqi would change his moves when he was not old. How do you know that Ren Tianqi only has one move, the two swords intersect, and with a bang, Qiu Chuji regrets that it is too late, and then looks at the sword in his hand has been broken into two; Ren Tianqi can no longer wait, and hands the long sword in his right hand to take Qiu Chuji's left shoulder, and the two fingers of his left hand are dotted, and Qiu Chuji's right wrist is in the middle. Qiu Chuji's wrist hurt and was startled, and he hurriedly flew up with his feet and wanted to avoid a sword on his shoulder, but who expected Ren Tianqi to fly up with his feet, crossed Qiu Chuji, and slapped a palm with his left hand, which hit Qiu Chuji's chest, and with a "bump", Qiu Chuji flew off the stage.
The shouts on and off the stage were thunderous, and the heroes shouted in unison as if they were crazy.
A little red and others on the stage were happy, and Nangong Min and other women in the audience were also excited, and the cheers were everywhere, leaking out of their daughter's family, which aroused the curiosity of the people around them, and they all watched and wanted to move. The five women were furious and took down a few people. Nangong Min raised her eyebrows violently, and sneered: "A few of the people on this stage are my senior brothers, and they have the courage to let the horses come!"
The group of heroes were frightened when they heard this, and no one wanted to offend Ren Tianqi and Longqiu Villa.
Ren Tianqi saw the chaos below, and suddenly remembered that a few junior sisters were still below dressed as men, and because she was worried that there would be any accident to the junior sisters, she hurriedly flew off the stage, came to the women's side, and sent a few girls to the backstage.
On this side, Qiu Chuanling also said: "Heroes of the world, now Ren Ye has won eight heroes in a row, I don't know which hero wants to come up and give it a try?", called six times in a row, but no one answered. Qiu Chuanling hugged his fists and said loudly: "Since no one can come to the stage to compete, then the matter of recruiting talents and sons-in-law in Wulongqiu Villa will end here." Yang Xiong Yang Daxia, Ren Tianqi Ren Daxia is the sage and sage recruited by Wulongqiu Villa, thank you for your support. After speaking, Qiu Chuanling flew down from the stage and appointed his family to Yang Xiong, Ren Tianqi and the two wore red and green, beat gongs and drums to escort back to Longqiuzhuang, and he also accompanied the righteous brothers and brothers back to the backstage, and sent someone to invite Qiu Chuji to return to Longqiuzhuang together.
Ren Tianqi tried every means to excuse and explain, and it was useless to be in a hurry with a little red, so he persuaded Qiu Chuanling to think twice. Qiu Chuanling just smiled and shirked and said that he would go to Longqiu Villa first. The guests on the Wangchun Terrace were accompanied by Qiu Yuantong, the old owner, and transferred to the Tianyi Pavilion Restaurant. Nangong Min's five daughters were reluctant to go back to Yihongxuan, but Hongxiu stole a small package to her senior brother before she went back, and Ren Tianqi was busy putting it in her arms.
The whole village has heard that the fast son-in-law recruited is strong in martial arts, and has won eight heroes in the world in a row, and no one dares to fight in the town, and he is the leader; The old lady was even more happy, a few days ago she had seen Ren Tianqi's appearance, and she had already had the intention of joining forces with Ren Tianqi and her daughter, and now she saw Ren Tianqi's martial arts and martial arts, and she was full of intentions in her heart, but she didn't know what Ren Tianqi himself thought;
Before everyone entered Zhuangzi, the old lady sent the girl next to her to call Qiu Chuanling to come to the backyard to inquire about the details of the recruitment, and interrogated Qiu Chuanzhu and Ren Tianqi about the possibility of reconciliation.
Qiu Chuanling shook his head and replied: "Mother, I don't think the surname is big, Brother Ren was forced to go to the stage to fight, and he couldn't get off the stage; Mother, what's more, you also know, even if Brother Ren agrees to have a relationship with our sister, it will be difficult to rank who is older and who is younger after the marriage, isn't it? ”
The old lady sighed and said: "A pair of many matches, the Renqiu family is also a good match, I'm afraid that Zhu'er doesn't have this life." When you have time, you will persuade your sister more. ”
Qiu Chuanling nodded yes, and hurriedly came out to entertain everyone, and invited her sister Qiu Chuanzhu to accompany her.
After dinner, someone arranged for a rest, and Tang Wenlin was allowed to live in a room for four people.
Ren Tianqi sat sullenly on the side, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes always showed Murong Chang's hated and lost eyes, and the handsome face of red embroidery and the old lady of Longqiuzhuang were looking forward to it, worried about how to explain this trip to Yangzhou to the county lord after returning to Guangling, and they were infinitely sad;
Lin Xuefei has never seen such a wonderful competition, a little red and eloquent, erudite and knowledgeable, when he talks about Ren Tianqi's heroic act of breaking into life and death in the northern country, he is like a hanging river, gushing endlessly, and he can't help but add his own exaggeration and embellishment.
Ren Tianqi shook his head and smiled bitterly. A little red suddenly turned around and smiled: "Brother Xian, why should you marry another wife, the emperor of Lin'an is not as old as you, but I heard that there are already three hundred concubines now! If you are embarrassed to go back and open your mouth, brother, I will go back and help you say it." Longqiu Village is the largest mountain village in the world, so don't miss the opportunity! Or you will do it like this! Come and drink, what are you worried about! Why don't you just accept a woman!"
Lin Xue flew up and dragged Ren Tianqi, Ren Tianqi shook his head, and sat down and drank absentmindedly.
Suddenly, he heard a cough outside the door, and a person said in a loud voice: "Ren Ye hasn't rested yet, right?
Everyone looked up at Ren Tianqi, Ren Tianqi shrugged his shoulders and mouthed at Lin Xuefei. Lin Xuefei stepped forward and opened the door, and Qiu Chuji came in. After seeing the ceremony, the five sat down. Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "I haven't had time to thank Qiu Daxia for the concession in Bai, but this lottery head is not there!"
Qiu was inexplicable, and he didn't know how to answer.
A little red smiled and said: "That's the case, my virtuous brother has a good family at home, but he hasn't had time to get married, and now he is on stage and has won the first place, and he is worried about the matter of recruiting a son-in-law in Longqiu Village, and I don't know how to deal with it!"
Qiu Chuji laughed and said, "What is so difficult about such a trivial matter? What a big deal is it for a big husband to marry a few concubines nowadays! This matter is very easy to do, it depends on how Ren Ye views Longqiu Village, one of the four major money houses in the world." ”
Everyone didn't understand what Qiu meant.
Ren Tianqi saw that Qiu Chuji said lightly that this matter was not difficult, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Qiu, don't make fun of you anymore, if you have a good idea, please just say it, I am grateful for it!"
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "If a few people still think that the name and wealth of this Longqiu Villa can be helpful to the grand development of Ren Ye's future affairs, I don't think about how many women a man should marry is right or wrong, and it is a trivial matter that conforms to the rules of the ancestral etiquette; there is no need to think about how the one in the family should be comforted; there is no need to think about whether the eldest lady of this Longqiu Villa is handsome or ugly, even if she goes to get married; after returning home, she will be more attentive to the one at home, and say more confidant words to make up for it." ”
Everyone nodded, and said a little red: "That is, the beauty is matched with the hero, and the family is right, and the momentum rises, and comes into being, Longqiuzhuang and Ren Jiabao hand in hand, what a majesty!
Ren Tianqi looked up at everyone and didn't make a sound.
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "Who in the world doesn't want to be famous? To put it bluntly, that's what it's all about, isn't it? Of course, if everything in this Longqiu Villa is of no use to Ren Ye, or Ren Ye has other concerns, and he has a soft spot, then it's another matter! This matter depends on Ren Ye's personal preferences and aspirations, and the old customs are not enough to say. ”
Everyone looked up at Ren Tianqi, not knowing what Ren Tianqi was thinking.
Ren Tianqi didn't make a sound, he was so worried that he didn't bother to talk to Qiu. Ren Tianqi's sincerity to the county lord and servant is something that can be learned from heaven and earth, and he didn't think about the things that Qiu Chuji and the others said, he still couldn't rest assured about the estrangement with Murong Villa, and he couldn't worry about the coming and going of several junior sisters.
Seeing that Ren Tianqi didn't answer, Yihong nodded busily and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu is reasonable, listening to a few words from you is indeed better than reading a few years." I saw that Brother Qiu's swordsmanship was excellent, and he was definitely not under Wen, so he didn't know what school he was taught from? Where is the house? How can he be so well-informed and experienced this year?"
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "Brother Tai has won the award. Under the surname Qiu Ming, the word is dense, Dengzhou Qixia people, 19 years old this year, studied under Huayang Zhenren. I am also the first time to go to the south of the Yangtze River, the first time I came to Yangzhou, I came out to explore the way to save the world, make friends with like-minded people in the martial arts, and try to drive the northern robbers, restore the mountains and rivers of our great Han, and make a great difference!"
Everyone does not know who Huayang Zhenren is, and it seems that no such a name has been heard of in the rivers and lakes;
Ren Tianqi was not very interested in Qiu Chuji's words, but now he sees that this person is boastful, and he has a good skill, and he actually has the ambition to save the people of the world from fire and water, he can't help but be impressed again, temporarily put the matter in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiu's great ambition makes Ren admire! It's just that the world is in great chaos now, how easy is it for Kuang Shi'an to talk about it! I don't know how Brother Qiu should view the situation in the world? Is it still possible for our people to dominate the mountains and rivers? Like those who practice martial arts, what benefit can we talk about to the suffering of the people in the world? What is the point of our martial arts being born and dying?"
Ren Tianqi raised the long-standing doubts in his heart like a cannonball. These doubts are the confusion that Ren Tianqi has suppressed in his heart for a long time and can't let go.
Qiu Chuji glanced at the wine and food next to him, and said with a smile: "On this cold night, how can you have fun talking at night without ordering wine and food?
Ren Tianqi nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's not the negligence that is below, Brother Qiu doesn't have to blame!" Urgently ordered Lin Xue to fly out to get some wine and food.
A few people toasted together, Qiu Chuji put down the cup, got up and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from a few brothers, I have been born for 19 years, and my heart has never been used twice, and I want to learn the way of literature and martial arts all day long. This view of the past and the present, I really realized a few points of experience, and now I might as well go out one by one to solve the doubts in Brother Ren's heart, and also for everyone to refer to. ”
The crowd nodded. Ren Tianqi toasted a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This is very good, Brother Qiu is okay, please don't have reservations." I'll hear you. ”
Qiu Chuji said: "Since ancient times, the virtuous monarch and Emperor Ming, all of them started from the end of the micro, starting from the people of cloth, only when they have tasted the hardships of the world, can they understand the needs of the common people, and can they subvert the dynasty and calm the people." The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are all like this; and those who are lucky enough to win the world, many so-called emperors and people, but they only know pleasure and greed, and they are powerful, although they gain power for a while, they will not be able to spurn the people of the world for a long time, and they are disdained by historical materials, such as Wang Mang in the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhuo in the late Han Dynasty. Looking at the world of the Zhao family today, it is the unknown place of the uncle and nephew, in my view, it is just the decline of the Later Tang Dynasty, the continuation of the melee in various towns, and a different name. Let's take a look at how many pieces the world has divided into now, the Song family lives in a corner, living and stealing, and does not seek progress, it will definitely not and will not have the ability to dominate the mountains and rivers!"
Qiu Chuji said angrily.
Ren Tianqi has a lot of experience, and because of his extensive knowledge, he believes in his words, and he also has a lot of recognition in his heart, which arouses a trace of resonance.
A little red smiled and said: "Brother Qiu is not unreasonable, according to you, what will be the trend of the world?"
Qiu Chuji took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "The momentum of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time, and in the end it is just a change of face; Ying Qin, Liu Han, Chen Sui, and Li Tang took turns to appear on the stage, but after all, it is the people of the world who endure hardships and suffering. If you want to protect the people of the Han Dynasty from being bullied by foreigners, you must kill them brutally and for a long time, just as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty devoted his life to his talents, exhausted the wealth of the country, and buried millions of Han soldiers and soldiers to defeat the Xiongnu once and for all. But the current situation is that the unification of the mountains and rivers of the Han family is very easy to obtain, looking at the sky, the Han family should produce a cloth emperor every five hundred years, and only this cloth emperor can unify the mountains and rivers. As for saving the people of the world from fire and water, and never stopping the sword soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to look down. ”
Ren Tianqi said: "What is why?"
Qiu Chuji took a sip of wine and said: "The Han people have survived for thousands of years, and they are quite constrained by various etiquettes, and they have long been cultivated: the Han people do not worship wisdom and bravery, the ancient and not the new, the rich and the rich, the men and women do not worship women, the poor do not laugh at the prostitutes, and they are at peace with what they encounter, and they only seek to get by and pass the inferior quality. ”
Ren Tianqi and the others nodded, quite reasonable.
Ren Tianqi toasted a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Then according to Brother Qiu, is it still necessary for us to study martial arts and be familiar with etiquette?"
Qiu Chuji said: "Practicing martial arts and reading still has a certain use. The advantage of practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body and protect oneself. If a person wants to gain the world through martial arts practice and do whatever he wants, in the end he will only be nine out of ten empty, and he will not end well. What a hegemonic talent the Qin Dynasty was, it could not protect the Qin Dynasty for thousands of generations, let alone others? The world will not change because of the power of one person, this is the true meaning of eternity. Moreover, reading is still useful, after all, reading can distinguish people from animals, know shame, know how to communicate, know how to communicate, and know that the things of the past life can be a lesson for the future life, but then again, among the three hundred and sixty lines of the world, the most useless is also reading. Isn't it, reading not only does not solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also has the disadvantages of consolidating people's minds and restraining people's hands and feet. Isn't Old Master Confucius also old and unused? People often say that books have their own golden houses, and reading books to seek wisdom is nothing but a trick to deceive people!"
Lin Xuefei asked: "How can you say that I can only wait for death when I am born? This is not good, that is not good!"
Qiu Chuji smiled: "That's wrong. For ordinary people, to be born and live in the world, all they want is two things: to live and to inherit. ”
Qiu Chuji's words changed and said with a smile: "But, if a person like Ren Ye, with his unique skills and many heroes with him, he must want to dominate his life." But in the next view, this hegemony is achievable but unattainable, and it is not worth working hard all your life to achieve hegemony. Therefore, for an extraordinary person like Ren Ye, living in the world has more toil and suffering. Once a person dies, who can win immortality, eternal wealth, and eternal prosperity, it is all a passing smoke, and it is not worth it!"
A little red smiled and said: "Brother Qiu, how can he live so lightly at a young age, is he too pessimistic, isn't it?
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "In the next place, it is also the uneasy status quo to beg for hardship. My tutor once made a bet with me, saying that it was limited to ten years, and if I was out for ten years, everything would not come to nothing, and I would eventually return to the place where ordinary people are---- the word 'food and shelter'. Hey, but when it comes to martial arts, I still admire and recognize the words of the family teacher. ”
Ren Tianqi and the four of them were very surprised.
Qiu Chuji said: "The family teacher said that the martial arts in the world are either from the imitation of birds and beasts, or from medical pathology, or from foreign lands. It is said that although there are many names for this martial art, it is only a two-sided thing, one is the form, the imitation of the form, the form, but the form, and the other is the qi, the hidden qi in the body, luck, gathering qi and using qi. The shape is fancy, it is good-looking, and it is more tricky; qi is the foundation, and the shape can be invincible only by driving the shape with qi, but the use of qi also needs to know how to be tangible and can be guided, so as to have its due power. Take today's competition on the stage as an example, Brother Wen's swordsmanship is probably unsurpassed in the world, but in my opinion, Brother Wen's essence is not as good as Ren Ye's sword and qi integration. What Ren Ye is strong is that he has peerless skills, and his sword is fast and his sword is heavy!"
Ren Tianqi and a little red were shocked, but they didn't expect this person to be able to explain the key points in just a few words, which was very powerful and couldn't be underestimated. The truth of his words is very similar to the two factions of the Huashan Sect Sword Sect and the Qi Sect in the past.
A little red frowned and said, "Then Brother Qiu knows that luck is worse than practice, so why doesn't he concentrate on refining qi?"
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "To refine divine skills, one relies on talent and strange bones, intelligence and sensitivity, and one relies on opportunity to create, both of which are indispensable. I am self-aware, even if I have been meditating for thirty or forty years, I have achieved great success, I am half a hundred, and my ambition has been exhausted, so why bother? In the face of creation, everyone is equal!"
Ren Tianqi gave him a word, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
A little red disagreed, glanced at Ren Tianqi, and said, "Then what is Brother Qiu's plans for in the future, could it be as Master Ling said, go back to his hometown in Dengzhou?"
Qiu Chuji smiled: "Of course not. I came out this time because I wanted to travel all over the world, find a confidant, make a few close friends, do an earth-shattering event, write a book that will last for a hundred years, and teach a legendary disciple. ”
When the four of them heard this, they were quite surprised, and looked at Qiu Chuji in confusion.
Qiu Chuji looked at everyone, poured wine for everyone, and said with a smile: "In the next place, I will endure hardships, and I am unwilling to do nothing, and I am not the same as you?"
The crowd laughed.
A little red pointed at Qiu Chuji and scolded: "It seems that Brother Qiu is also a duplicitous villain, and he can't be a good person." ”
Qiu Chuji shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't want to be a good person, this good person is also tired, empty and famous, and it is not easy to do!"
The crowd laughed again.
The five of them chatted about the world while drinking.
Soon Lu Shixing came over and invited Ren Tianqi to come to Yin Kaishan. It turned out that Qiu Yuantong asked Yin Kaishan to come forward to ask Ren Tianqi for his opinion on the matter of trying to recruit a son-in-law, Ren Tianqi told the old-timers about his own hardships, and politely rejected Long Qiuzhuang's kindness, Yin Kaishan was in favor of it, and went back to the Qiu family to talk about the father and son.
