There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Chapter 9 Acquiring Arts and Martial Arts

Shi Zhongzhu is interested in learning Chinese, and even more interested in learning martial arts.

In my previous life, as a poor man, where did I find such good educational resources.What Shi Zhongzhu is most interested in is horse riding among the six arts of a gentleman!Horses, in the previous life, those who rode horses were either herdsmen or nobles. There is a word called "Prince Charming", and it is a classic scene to ride a horse and be handsome.So Shi Zhongzhu was full of interest in the martial arts field. He practiced calligraphy for an hour in the morning, and his arms were so sore that he couldn't lift it up, which couldn't dampen his enthusiasm for martial arts.

The historian invited to teach Shi Zhongzhu was a veteran from the battlefield.Shi Ding also has his own work to do, and it is not easy to teach his son cultural lessons, so other courses are just random checks.

The old soldier's complexion was dark, and he didn't see the legendary cold light in his eyes, and he didn't have a face with a knife-cut face (like a face cut by a knife and an axe). He was just an ordinary middle-aged man, and Shi Zhongzhu called him "Master Dong".

"Master Dong, can I learn your kung fu?" Shi Zhongzhu was shamelessly cute, and attacked Master Dong with star-eyed stunts. Please forgive a kung fu enthusiast and a martial arts addict.

"Naturally, the second master wants to learn from my natural teaching." Master Dong replied gently.

"Then what should I learn first, let's learn lightness kung fu first." Shi Zhongzhu made a difficult choice in his heart, and decided to learn life-saving kung fu first.

"Second Master is talking about lightness. After Second Master has laid a solid foundation, lightness will be easy."

"Lightweight Kungfu?" Shi Zhongzhu already had a bad feeling, "What about internal strength? The kind of internal strength that smashes rocks with one palm."

"Where in the world is there such internal strength? This is what the Taoists say about internal strength. Those of us who practice martial arts in the army practice hard work, which is similar to those of the martial artists in the Jianghu, but better. The second master sees that the performers of Tianqiao can chop three with bare hands. Five green bricks, but he can't break stones with his bare hands."

"That's because their kung fu is not good enough, but they can still smash big stones in their chests!"

"The boulder on the chest was also smashed with a hammer. I haven't seen a performer smashing it with his hands!"

"Then what about the lightweight kung fu you mentioned? Can you fly over eaves and walls? Can you ride waves?" Shi Zhongzhu did not give up, and described a big man standing on a bamboo tip with fluttering sleeves, following the swing of the bamboo. Ups and downs, full of martial arts style.

Master Dong is sure, this one who has only read Jianghu show and legendary stories, can only patiently explain: "Second Lord, I can't do it, as far as I know, no one has done it."

"How can no one do it? It's written in the book..."

"Second Lord, what you read is the storybook legend." Master Dong sneered, "Those are all made up by down-and-out literati who don't understand martial arts. You see, real generals write books on the art of war. Famous generals don't know kung fu better than literati. ?”

Shi Zhongzhu was unconvinced, thinking that Huang Chang is a literati, so he wrote the "Nine Yin Manual", which has been circulated for hundreds of years.However, Huang Chang is a character in a novel, and the "Nine Yin Manual" was even edited, so I'm not sure.

"If you want to talk about internal strength, in addition to the hard work I practice that aims to injure the enemy and kill people, there is also a kind of internal strength that is aimed at nourishing the body."

"What internal strength?" Shi Zhongzhu wanted to talk about Zhang Sanfeng, but then remembered that there was no such person as Zhang Sanfeng.

"Taoism's internal strength, Lao Tzu's theory, plus cultivation of body and mind, people who learn this are mostly people with a long life, but you can't learn it." Master Dong asserted.

"Why can't I learn?"

"Second master doesn't want to think about who are the most famous Taoists. Ge Hongge Xianweng practiced medicine to help the world and lived in seclusion in Luofu Mountain; Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi was good at talismans and lived in seclusion in Beiman Mountain; Chunyang son Lu Dongbin even lived in seclusion in Lushan. Do you want to live in seclusion?”

[What you said is so reasonable, I am speechless! 】Shi Zhongzhu fell silent.Soon, Shi Zhongzhu cheered up again. He could not be a martial arts master, but he could be a special soldier or something. When he left, this meme was popular. The big and small screens were full of combat uniforms, and the streets and alleys were full of paint. It is said that it was much easier to recruit soldiers in those years.

"Master Dong, what's the use of the kung fu you taught me?"

"Ordinary people can jump six feet, you can jump one foot, and if you practice two feet, you can't get close to three or five people." Master Dong explained that no matter how good your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives.

"Then, is there anyone in your army who fought against each other and took the head of the enemy general among thousands of people? Is there anyone who fired ten thousand arrows and was not injured? Is there any..."

Master Dong twitched his mouth and patted Shi Zhongzhu's shoulder, "Second Master, you should read less scripts in the future." His tone was full of sympathy, it's not easy for us Lord Hou to have such a mentally ill son.

Shi Zhongzhu chatted with Master Dong for a long time, and finally understood that there is no such thing as martial arts in this world, "heroes" are all robbers, and "rangers" are equivalent to gangsters, and there is no way to be proud of the world.

Shi Zhongzhu's task on the first day of martial arts is still squatting. How many great people's road to success starts with squatting!Shi Zhongzhu squatted all afternoon without any resistance, and after his hands trembled while writing, he succeeded in making his legs tremble.

When Shi Zhongzhu went back to his room, he was still thinking about the famous people that Master Dong had cited in the afternoon. After finishing his homework the next morning, he looked for some Taoist books and focused on studying the deeds of these famous people.It was discovered that people who call immortal gods are not indifferent to human fireworks: Ge Xianweng was once granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and Lv Dongbin was a Jinshi and served as a county magistrate. It is not that Zhang Tianshi did not become an official. Only then did the Taoism of Heavenly Masters be established. It seems that there is still hope for learning Taoist Kung Fu by yourself.

With a plan in mind, Shi Zhongzhu is a person who dares to think and do. In the next few days, he read all the books related to Taoism in his father's study, and he wanted to read new books. When buying books, I have talked to Chun Ya and Xia Ye, regardless of money, as long as they are related to Taoism and Taoism.

Shi Zhongzhu is not messing around without a goal, he has a reference candidate - Zhang Sanfeng. "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "The Great Master Zhang Sanfeng", "The Secret History of Zhang Sanfeng", oh no, I won't list the romance plots like "Young Zhang Sanfeng".In his previous life, when Wudang Shaolin was the world leader in martial arts, Shi Zhongzhu thought that being a monk would be too ugly to be bald, and that Taoist priests with fluttering sleeves would be more in line with his own aesthetics.

Shi Zhongzhu started to learn about Taoism and Taoism, but Shi Ding didn't realize it. After all, his homework was completed with quality and quantity. It's just that Shi Zhongzhu bought books through the big maid, so he couldn't hide it from his mother Zheng.

Mrs. Shi Zheng talked with her husband earnestly. What was said inside and out was Jia Jing, the Jia family who was admitted to the Jinshi, but abandoned his family and son to practice Taoism.Shi Ding also attracted full attention, and had a heart-to-heart talk with Shi Zhongzhu the next day.

"Brother Zhu, have you been reading Taoist books recently?"

"Yeah, Taoism is very interesting." Shi Zhongzhu thought you should not object, my goal is to live a long life!If you want to object, I will say [The "Xiaoyaoyou" that my father told me is so interesting, I can't help but want to read more Taoist books], I feel so guilty!

"You are still young, can you understand?"

"Of course I understand. I have read all the Taoist books in my father's study."

"Oh, I've finished reading it." Don't blame Shi Ding for being ignorant, after all, he is a military commander. Except for military books for daily use and rituals that need to be read frequently, the books in the big study are all sent by the bookstore according to the warehouse list. Even the almanac, the book was sent in, but Shi Ding had never read it, so he didn't know that his son had read so many books.

Shi Ding asked cautiously, "Then are you going to practice Taoism in the future?"

"Why do you practice Taoism? Didn't I still study "The Analects" and "University"? I want to be a Jinshi!"

It's okay, it's okay, Shi Ding let go of his old worry.

"Brother Zhu, don't be obsessed with it. The Four Books and Five Classics are serious." Shi Ding warned, "Don't let the big maids buy books quietly in the future. You are getting older, and it is not worthwhile to always be surrounded by girls. I will match you with a few. Boy, after two years, I will go to school and socialize, so I will always need it."

"Thank you, father!" Shi Zhongzhu didn't expect to be able to get a servant in advance. You must know that his brother Shi Bosong also moved his own yard to get this treatment. "Father, should I move to the outer courtyard? It's inconvenient for a servant after all." Shi Zhongzhu suggested very understandingly.

"What are you thinking!" Shi Ding glared at him angrily, "You are only a little older, so don't worry about living with your mother, the servants assigned to you are about the same age as you, and you don't need to worry about going to and from the inner courtyard. "

"Don't, dad, what's the use of you giving me a child, I sent him to pick up a book and worried that he would be abducted, you give me a teenager, so I can let him do things! "

"What can you do?"

"Not now, but there will be some in the future. How about it, dad?" Shi Zhongzhu used the coquettish method, "Dear dad, good dad", smeared three layers of honey on his mouth, pressed his shoulders, and beat his legs , busy around Shi Tai for a long time.

Shi Ding enjoyed his son's hospitality very much, and put on airs for a long time, "reluctantly" matched him with four servants, two in their teens, just when they were needed, and two As old as him, it can be regarded as a companion.

"It's your older boy, who told your mother about moving the yard." Shi Ding Shi, the shopkeeper who shook hands, walked out of the study.

Master Shihou of Shi Ding obviously underestimated his son. He acted like a coquettish Dafa and even took down the real man Shi Houye. The mere mother-in-law Zheng who loved his son like his life was nothing to worry about.

Shi Zhongzhu acted like a baby again, insisting on having his own yard.Mrs. Zheng had no choice, so she sent a maid named Qiuguo to Shi Zhongzhu's yard to take over.

Shi Zhongzhu had been brainwashed by all kinds of house-fighting and palace questions, so he hurriedly said: "I already have two big maids, Chun Ya and Xia Ye, and the quota is full."

Mrs. Zheng pretended to be surprised and said: "Yo, if you still want to withhold my autumn fruit, she will go to your yard to check it out and teach you two girls that when the spring buds and summer leaves can stand up, it will come naturally." I just came back. You just want it, but I can't bear it, your mother!"

Qiu Guo interjected from the side, "This servant is also reluctant to part with Madam, but there are many capable people around Madam, and this servant has served Madam's heart, which is also loyal!"

"Such a clever articulation, I can't bear it even more."

Shi Zhongzhu made a joke, buried his head in Zheng's arms and couldn't get out, which made everyone in the room burst into laughter.After finally telling Mrs. Zheng about the parting feelings, and listening to Zong Lingzong's many precautions, Shi Zhongzhu went to his yard smoothly. He named his yard Qiujieyuan, which means "always fear that the autumn festival will , Kun Huanghua leaves decline. Hundreds of rivers go east to the sea, when will they return to the west? The young and the strong do not work hard, the old will only be sad."

Since then, Shi Zhongzhu started a semi-independent study career in Qiujieyuan.
