Chapter 34 Movement Technique
“Young man, are you spreading the fire?”
When Xu Qing heard the girl’s words, the first thing that came to his mind was this line.
Then, Xu Qing responded to the girl in the same serious tone: "My life now is extraordinary."
The girl: "..."
There were many things she had yet to say, but she could say no more.
She was rejected.
So sad.
I was surprised immediately.
Xu Qing’s hands are like iron hoops.
As soon as the girl lost her mind, she was firmly grasped, "It hurts."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xu Qing had already let go.
The bright wrist is like frost and snow, with bruises visible to the naked eye under the moonlight.
"If I wanted to kill you just now, you would be dead." Xu Qing spoke slowly, and then added: "You don't like the ordinary life of following the rules, but you have to accept it. What I just said It's already much gentler than the extraordinary life outside."
At the end, Xu Qing said slightly apologetically: "I shouldn't use such a preaching tone, but I really treat you as a friend."
He looked at the girl's eyes without any concealment, without concealing his emotions, openly and openly.
It is true that the girl is dangerous and in trouble, but she helped Xu Qing.
So Xu Qing rarely said something to a woman that she didn't like to hear.
If it were his former "fair-weather" female friend, the most common thing he would say is, "Girls must be independent. I will support you in whatever you do." He knew people liked hearing this.
He won’t marry anyway.
"Friend?" The girl was in a daze for a moment.
It seems that a softness unique to women has been struck in my heart.
She was in pain and angry just now, but now she is suddenly very moved. What's going on?
"Hey, we are not the same person. I will teach you one last thing, and we will stop contacting each other in the future." The girl said lightly.
“I don’t know how to repay you.”
"You just repaid me by not arresting me and reporting it to the police." The girl's tone suddenly became much colder. She always felt that she and Xu Qing were closer.
Because they are "friends".
But this relationship seems dangerous.
The instinct is to reject.
Xu Qing shook his head and smiled: "You have forgotten that the case of the theft of banknotes has been closed. Even if you say you did it now, Wuzhi County will never re-judge the case."
Once a Guochao case is closed, it is extremely difficult to overturn it.
He had seen a case in his previous life.
A death row inmate admitted that he was the murderer of another murder case, and also told the details of the crime and various clues. As a result, it took a lot of hard work and efforts from all parties to overturn the case. come over.
The reason is that the murder case has been closed. And he killed someone unjustly.
The person who was wrongly accused only lost his life. Reversing his case will implicate many living people.
Therefore, it is impossible to report to the official.
If he really reported it to the official, even his uncle and aunt would have to blame him.
…
…
Next, let’s get to the point.
What the girl taught Xu Qing was kung fu.
She was the second person to teach Xu Qing Kung Fu.
"You are strong, go and move the water tank in the yard under the tree." The girl ordered Xu Qing unceremoniously.
Xu Qing honestly moved the water tank over.
The water tank is very heavy. If he does not practice "Crane", his spine is not strong enough. Even if his limbs are strong, his waist will be unable to bear the strain when moving the water tank.
There is no way, who said his body is not fully developed yet.
Seeing Xu Qing carrying such a heavy water tank, the girl was panting a little, and couldn't help but envy: "You men are more talented in martial arts than us women. You are only fourteen years old, but you have such strength." Big. And I can’t tell you have a pretty good waist.”
"What else is there to do?"
"There are quite a few things for martial arts training in your yard. Go tie those sandbags to the branches."
Xu Qing immediately understood the girl The intention is, "You want me to stand on the edge of the water tank and punch sandbags?"
The girl glanced at the old tree and praised: "This sycamore tree is good. It is strong and strong. Its branches can bear hundreds of kilograms. It is a good place to practice my body skills naturally."
She then asked Xu Qing to fill the water tank with water and taught Xu Qing a set of body movements.
This body technique is based on the principle of Bagua.
While standing on the water tank and hitting the suspended sandbags, Xu Qing also had to use the Bagua movement taught by the girl to avoid the swinging sandbags.
Now it is just a water tank. Later in the practice, the water tanks will be added one by one until there are eight. At the same time, the sandbags will also be increased to hundreds. Hit the sandbags on the water tank at the same time. Avoiding sandbags and keeping the water in the tank motionless is considered a master's degree.
And this movement technique just released Xu Qing's potential in practicing the Crane Shape Technique.
He practiced the Crane Shape Technique, and his limbs were slender, flexible and powerful. What he lacked was a body technique to bring out the advantages of the Crane Shape Technique.
For example, he has accumulated a lot of internal energy through the crane shape technique, but he doesn't know how to use it. The Eight Trigrams Body Technique is exactly what Xu Qing needs to use urgently.
Xu Qing relied on his state of "absolute concentration" and his own accumulation of Crane Shape Technique to quickly master the Bagua Body Technique from scratch and cross the "rough mastery" stage. , get started directly.
Back and forth, it only took an hour.
After practicing the Ba Gua Shen Technique, Xu Qing understood that if the girl had been defensive, he would not be able to catch her immediately.
A martial arts practitioner is not wary of someone?
Xu Qing knew that the girl did indeed regard him as a friend.
No way, Xu Qing is the only girl of the same age that the girl has had a lot of contact with since she was a child. And they can talk.
In life, even if you live to your seventies or eighties, it is not easy to find a few friends with whom you can talk.
It is even more cherished to meet him when he was young.
"You have learned it. You can practice the rest by yourself." The girl felt a little melancholy. She did not expect that Xu Qing was not only very capable in eight-legged essays, but also talented in martial arts. It's so tall that it makes people jealous.
"Thank you very much." Xu Qing didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to repay this kindness later.
Girl: "You really should thank me. Do you know that Zhou Tixue specializes in the Book of Changes?"
It turns out that the eight-part essay for the imperial examination was based on the Four Books and Five Classics. Because the meanings of the Five Classics are broad and profound, and even conflict with each other, at the beginning of the provincial examination, candidates can choose one of the Five Classics as their main meaning. The teachers who grade the papers are also divided into Five Classics Rooms.
Even the top five in the provincial examination are also called the Five Classics Leaders.
The I Ching is relatively unpopular among the Five Classics.
Because it is esoteric and difficult to understand.
The most widely circulated nowadays is the Mencius Book of Changes mastered by Yuan family in Runan.
This is a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Even in this dynasty, there have been senior officials at the level of minister for four consecutive generations.
The Meng's Book of Changes was almost Yuan's private study, and the other Confucian scholars who could understand the Book of Changes were all famous Confucian scholars in the world. Zhou Tixue is one of them.
Because there are too few people who specialize in the I Ching, if Xu Qing can use his knowledge of the I Ching to solve problems in the college examination, he will undoubtedly attract the attention of Zhou Tixue and even eliminate the negative influence from the prefect He.
Although today's scholar-officials are divided into many schools of thought, they are not really political parties yet.
Even if there is a fierce struggle between the reformers and the conservatives in the court, the root cause is not the reform, but the competition for interests and the right to speak.
If Xu Qing can show his talent in the Book of Changes, Zhou Tixue may not be tempted by this rising star.
Sometimes, people of the same faction may not be of the same mind.
But once Tongzhi was born, they were often very close in political philosophy, and they were naturally his own people.
The Bagua is the basis of the I Ching.
Xu Qing practiced Bagua Shenfa and naturally had to gradually become proficient in the knowledge of the Book of Changes.
…
…
After a long time, the girl’s voice kept echoing in Xu Qing’s ears:
“I don’t want you to pay back what you owe me. . I just like that you always owe me.”
Xu Qing let out a long sigh.
What a damn world. To take the Tongsheng Examination, you have to open up so many worlds. Xu Qing was helpless, because Tong Sheng was trying to be honest, and he was short on time, so he had to do something crooked.
In fact, Xu Qing knew that it was extremely difficult for him to become a scholar at the age of fourteen.
This has nothing to do with knowledge, but involves an unspoken rule under the imperial examination system - "teenage talents will not be given away easily."
He had no idea what to do, so he had to work hard for a few years. By then, he would have reached the age limit and become a scholar, and it would be a matter of course.
Why is there a default age threshold for eight-part essay selection?
The Thirty Old Ming Sutra, Fifty Young Scholars, has been circulated for a long time, and it is not without reason.
Xu Qing studied ancient literature and history intensively in his previous life, and actually came to a conclusion.
That was the age of imperial power, where old people were instinctively needed to serve as officials.
Because the older the Zhongjinshi are, the less time they have to cultivate party members and pass their political legacy to the next generation smoothly. In this way, it is not easy to create powerful ministers who pose a fatal threat to the imperial power.
On the contrary, the younger a Zhongjinshi is, even if he has no subjective consciousness, after decades, he will naturally be surrounded by a large number of cronies.
This is also the reason why young Jinshi under the age of thirty in this dynasty can often enter the cabinet in nine out of ten cases.
When he was the chief assistant of the dynasty, he won the imperial examination at the age of sixteen and the second-level Jinshi at the age of twenty-three. Now in his early forties, he has taken the position of chief assistant.
If Xu Qing can also be a Jinshi in his early twenties, in the eyes of the world's scholars, he will be the prime minister. As long as he doesn't make too big mistakes, he will rule the world sooner or later.
“Where are the ancient and modern generals now? The graves are piled with grass.”
"Other people take the imperial examination for the purpose of becoming an official, but in fact, others don't know that I take the imperial examination for the sake of survival." Xu Qing shook his head.
Putting aside these thoughts, Xu Qing stepped on the edge of the water tank and punched the sandbag, causing the old sycamore tree to tremble. The moonlight condensed, and Xu Qing's soul emitted the chirping of cranes and the breath of the old sycamore tree.
Gradually, the condensed moonlight of the old sycamore tree is projected into the water tank, and Xu Qing's blood is stirring, and the masculine energy is also immersed in the water tank.
The moon is yin, and the qi and blood are yang.
A vortex in the shape of Tai Chi appeared in the water tank under Xu Qing's feet.
But he exerted his strength on the water tank, his body was erratic, he controlled his center of gravity, and never fell.
Dancing gracefully, it looks like a crane from another world.
