Lu Zheng naturally saw this extremely dangerous bend early, but he didn't look in a hurry, and he was not even as focused and nervous as just now, and he didn't see any movement until he made any moves, allowing the carriage to rush forward. Seeing that the three horses in front of him were about to rush into the treacherous stream, suddenly, with the crisp sound of life, the long whip came ahead of the three horses and whipped them on the left side of the three horses. It turned out that Lu Zheng had been staring at the hooves of the first three horses, and he didn't make a move until now!

The three horses were whipped and immediately neighed and turned around. Lu Zheng immediately pulled the reins hard, restrained the two horses in the center, and quickly drew two whips, almost in no particular order, respectively on the leftmost Xiao Bai in the front row and Xiao Hei on the far right of the back row, and the whips fell extremely hard. The two horses were in pain, and the king burst out at the same time with the strongest force of impact and rushed forward. Under the impact of these two twisting and turning left and right, the carriage was thrown into the air and flew up.

Lu Zheng was also thrown up with the carriage, but he didn't panic at all, he drank in a deep voice, and then pulled out several whips in a row and hit them in the air, raising the speed of the six horses to the extreme, and at the same time tightening the reins and mobilizing the direction of the two yellow horses in the center. As the six horses exerted their strength at the same time under Lu Zheng's control, the carriage was directly dragged by the six horses in the air through the corner, and landed on the lane in front of it with a bang, and continued to drive forward. In a few moments, all the corners were cleared.

Xin'er sighed at this time, and her clenched hands slowly let go, and there was a tingling pain, only to find that her hands were pinched out of deep red marks by her nails, and even her lips were a little painful, it turned out that she was so nervous that she bit her lower lip just now, but she didn't notice it.

Mr. Le on the side let out a heartfelt voice of admiration: "See the opportunity when you see it, wonderful!"

After Lu Zheng turned back to the original point again, the third assessment began, the stream disappeared, and a large stone pillar appeared on the ground, submerging the lane, this assessment is called Chaozhong Road. The difficulty lies in finding the right lane among the chaotic stone pillars, and not touching the stone pillars in the forward and backward process, which tests the accurate judgment of the road chosen by the landing, and the ability to control the carriage to move in a narrow space. Lu Zheng stood on the carriage for a moment, and after a while, he rushed into the stone pillar formation and passed without difficulty.

The next two items are the fourth one, the happy dance, and the fifth one. is willing to dance, there is no special terrain test, that is, let Lu Zheng drive back and forth on the flat ground, the focus is to achieve the smoothness when the carriage turns around and rotates, so that the carriage shows a dance-like feeling.

Seeking by one, as the name suggests, is to ask Lu Zheng to chase the prey in a carriage, drive the prey to one side, and force it into a dead end. The prey that Li Yi chose for Lu Zheng was three fawns. You must know that the fawn is the best at galloping and jumping, very flexible and agile, and timid by nature, and it is naturally the most difficult to drive away. But Lu Zheng made up his mind, first with a whip sound, disturbing the three fawns, causing them to frighten them back and forth, consuming energy, and then driving the carriage to drive the three fawns to the corner with lightning speed.

After the five assessments were completed, Lu Zheng drove to the bottom of the high platform, jumped out of the carriage, held the long whip in his hand, and knelt under it on one knee. Mr. Le was the first to applaud, and Xin'er clapped vigorously behind him.

Li Yi walked down the high platform and walked towards Lu Zheng, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, the ring suddenly appeared in his hand, just like the last time Lu Zheng finished the shooting salute, Li Yi pressed the ring on the top of Lu Zheng's head with the ring prescription, and shouted: "Lu Zhiyi!"

Lu Zheng responded respectfully: "The students are here!"

Li Yi said: "The six horses are both royal, and the five cores have been completed." You have learned the imperial rites today, and the teacher asks you, how is the way of the imperial rites?" Unlike the last time when he directly said the way of archery, this time the teacher actually wanted to let himself say what the way of the imperial rites is.

Although Lu Zheng was a little surprised, he did not panic, because when he was driving the carriage during this time, he had a lot of feelings, and he himself had already thought about it silently, so he thought about it seriously and replied: "The way of the imperial rites, the prophet, the lord." ”

What does Lu Zheng's words mean?

At the beginning of the royal ceremony, the teacher asked him to tame Xiaobai. When Lu Zheng tamed Xiaobai, he found that Xiaobai didn't let himself get close at all, so he kept thinking about one thing, that is, how to be friends with Xiaobai? This was what Mr. Le used to play the piano to inspire Lu Zheng, which made him think of it. But he couldn't figure out how to be friends with a horse.

It wasn't until he tried countless methods that he finally became familiar with Xiaobai, and when he looked back and thought about it, he realized that the method was actually very simple! And the way to know is to observe, to think, to understand.

Observation is to observe what kind of horse Xiaobai is? Including everything that Lu Zheng can see about Xiaobai, his appearance characteristics, behavioral habits, what he does every day, what he likes to eat, and so on. For example, Lu Zheng found that Xiaobai likes to chase butterflies and play.

To think about it is to think about what all Xiaobai's previous behaviors mean? For example, he likes to chase butterflies, which is playful and active. Often ignores people because it is the king of horses and has a naturally arrogant personality.

To understand is to accept that Xiaobai is a horse, and not to treat it with your own temper. For example, if Xiaobai is unwilling to take care of himself, don't get old to provoke it. Don't lose your temper with it, but observe and think about it, and think about it, and it doesn't want to take care of itself.

It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of patience and a lot of trying. In this process, Lu Zheng even imitated Xiaobai's movements, and after a long time, Lu Zheng almost thought that he was also a horse. However, he accidentally discovered the way the horse's waist and hips work together, and he benefited a lot from it.

It is through this continuous understanding and closeness that Lu Zheng's various behaviors gradually won Xiaobai's recognition and was able to get close to Xiaobai. Lu Zheng believes that the most important thing is to respect Xiaobai, don't use your own habits and temper to deal with it, just like playing the piano, you can't blindly let the piano obey your own command, but follow the piano's nature. This is the knowledge of knowledge.

But it's not enough to know it, because although you can get close to Xiaobai, you can't control Xiaobai. Just like playing the piano, the piano does not make its own sound, and it still needs to be played by someone. Xiaobai is the king of horses between heaven and earth, free by nature, where he is going, either because he is fun, chasing butterflies, or because he smells more tender aquatic plants ahead, so he has no specific purpose. In other words, he needed Lu Zheng to give it a direction. This is what it means to dominate it, to give Xiaobai a direction, as if giving his own mood to the strings.

The second lesson of the royal ceremony arranged by the teacher for Lu Zheng is driving, specifically when it comes to driving a carriage, whether it is two horses, four horses or six horses, in fact, the truth is almost the same as taming Xiaobai, but in contrast, driving a carriage in addition to the same need to understand the condition of the horses, respect their habits, but also must achieve mutual coordination, so that the horses with different directions finally walk together in the direction of their own xiangshang. In playing the piano, it means that each string cooperates with each other.

This is the truth that Lu Zheng said about the prophet and the lord after the lord.

When Lu Zheng said this, Li Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Knowledge must be respected, and the Lord should be the way." Lu Zhiyi, do you know the similarities and differences between archery and imperial ceremony?"

The teacher has a lot of questions today, and after asking about the imperial ceremony, he actually asked about the shooting salute, and he had to compare the similarities and differences with each other.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said: "The archery salute is begging for oneself not to scatter and not be chaotic, what is important is to be condensed, and then to be righteous and then to be right, and the bow of man is one." The same is true for the royal rites, so that the people, horses, and carriages are one and the same, which is the similarity between the two. As for the difference, the students believe that the archery is more focused on oneself, while the imperial ritual is more focused on controlling other things. Moreover, between the student's archery salute and the royal salute, the two have a complementary effect. ”

It turned out that since Lu Zheng learned the royal rites, he felt more and more that driving a horse needed to cooperate with each other to complete, so the most important thing is to understand the temper and physical strength of each horse, and adjust it by himself, so as to control the carriage well. And after he had this realization, he used this realization to go back and think about archery.

Since Lu Zheng learned how to use his gluteal muscles from Xiaobai, the whole person has also undergone a great change. He developed a radical awareness of his body. Every time he shoots an arrow, he can clearly sense the feeling of liliang being born from under his feet, transmitting it to his waist through his gluteal muscles, and then from his waist to his hands. In this process, Lu Zheng's whole person is loose, he can clearly sense what Liliang is transmitting in his muscles, and thus he also has a clear understanding of his body.

He clearly felt the shape and size of the muscles in his arms, thighs, waist and hips, which were horizontal and which were longitudinal, to what extent they could be twisted, and how the twisting of any one of them would affect the other muscles, and how Liliang was transmitted between these muscles.

Lu Zheng suddenly discovered and realized one thing, just like the six horses he was driving, it turned out that every muscle in his body also had its own personality and temper! This is also the reason why he always feels soreness all over his body after shooting arrows for a long time.

Because when he was pulling the bow and shooting arrows before, he only thought about pulling the bow away, and he didn't know where the liliang in his hand came from, what the amplitude of the arm flip should be, and how the limbs should cooperate with each other is the most appropriate. It's just that those muscles are forcibly ordered to cooperate with each other, and in this case, some muscles are naturally strained, so there is a feeling of soreness. It's like a horse throwing a tantrum when bullied.

So, under this understanding, Lu Zheng slowly learned to relax his control over his body. Because he now understands that every muscle is like a person with a temper and personality, and he must not forcibly order them, but must know their temper and personality, coordinate and unify with each other, and then work together to achieve the goal. It's the same thing about driving six horses to pull a carriage.

Lu Zheng even thought of playing the piano, the human body is also like a piano, each muscle is like a string, the person who plays the piano needs to understand the tightness and change of each string, and master the order of succession, in order to play more beautiful music. Instead of talking nonsense together, people and pianos need to be proportionate to each other.

So, in this respect, isn't my body just another carriage? It's just that I didn't drive well before!

Based on this experience, Lu Zheng's archery is naturally getting better and better, and with the deepening of this experience, Lu Zheng also found that archery can make his heart more and more peaceful and clear, so that when he drives the carriage, he can not easily be affected by the restlessness of the horse and other problems in his judgment.

Therefore, Lu Zhengcai felt that the two had a complementary effect on each other, in short, the salute made him more and more condensed, and the imperial salute made him more and more clear.
