Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuang and Xue Ming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles. Hello.
When I was leisurely passing by Xinling to drink, I took off my sword and stretched my knees forward. He will be eating Zhu Hai while holding a wine glass to persuade the marquis to win.
Three cups of vomiting promise, the five mountains are lighter. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit and vitality are born.
He waved the golden hammer to save Zhao, Handan was shocked at first. The two heroes of Qianqiu are famous in Daliang City.
Even if the hero's bones are fragrant after death, he will not be ashamed to be the best in the world. Who can write to your Excellency, Baishou Taixuan Sutra?
——Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing"
"Young knight errant, middle-aged knight errant, old wanderer immortal" is a strange circle that generations of knights can never get out of. In China, the "Xia" culture can be said to be enduring. From the praise of knights in "Historical Records" to the praise of folk knights in "Water Margin" to Jin Yong's "Great knights serve the country and the people", they all contain the convergence of Chinese knights and their spirit. culture formed.
Li Bai's soul-stirring "Xia Ke Xing" undoubtedly made everyone's blood boil, and the domineering power of killing Loulan with a sword emerged spontaneously. The whole poem depicts such a scene for the world: one person, one sword and one horse, one poem and one jug of wine, the dragon sees its head but not its tail, and uses the sky as its cover and the earth as its hut. You can also see that the knight comes and goes like the wind, elegant and free. The world is so big, but there is no obstacle in his heart. We can also see that he eats big chunks of meat and drinks from big bowls. He is free to travel between heaven and earth. You can also believe without reservation that he promises a thousand pieces of gold. Even though he was thousands of miles away, with millions of troops, he could still kill the enemy; at the same time, he did not ask for anything in return, he just drew his sword to help when the road was rough, and he did not have the slightest fear even if he died. This is the knight, this is the life of the knight, a special class that exists among the ancient Mingtang and the Lai, and exists in every corner of the world.
A deep-rooted chivalrous complex gradually emerged in the hearts of the Chinese people and evolved into a series of passionate legends of modern and ancient times. Starting from the pre-Qin Dynasty, thousands of years passed by in a blink of an eye. Throughout every dynasty and every generation, there are always uninterrupted anecdotes and legends about knights and swordsmanship. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were Zhuan Zhu who assassinated King Liao of Wu; Yu Rang, who avenged Zhi Bo, did not hesitate to disfigure his face and voice, and assassinated Zhao Xiangzi three times; Nie Zheng went to assassinate Xia Lei with great arrogance; and the story of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin is even more well-known...
Every time I think of Jing Ke, I will think of the misty song by the Yishui River, "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone."
Before Jing Ke arrived in Yan State, he went to Yuci, Shanxi today, to visit Gai Nie, the most famous swordsman at that time. But not long after Jing Ke and Gai Nie had talked, Gai Nie became furious and glared at Jing Ke with his murderous eyes. Jing Ke seemed to realize something, so he got up and left quietly.
People around Gai Nie began to feel puzzled. Jing Ke was known as a swordsman after all, so how could Gai Nie treat him coldly? Everyone persuaded Gai Nie and asked him to invite Jing Ke back, but Gai Nie was unmoved, because in his opinion, Jing Ke, as a swordsman, did not even have basic knowledge of swordsmanship. . At Jing Ke's level, he really can't stand on the stage, and staying here would just be embarrassing. However, after saying this, Gai Nie still asked someone to take a look, and when he saw that Jing Ke had indeed left. So a doubt arose in everyone's mind - Jing Ke's swordsmanship is really not up to par, or does Gai Nie have some prejudice against Jing Ke? Perhaps Jing Ke, like Han Fei, has a lot of skills, but lacks expression. However, after searching through Sima Qian's description of Jing Ke, I found that there was not a single word that could prove the level of Jing Ke's swordsmanship. Sima Qian only mentioned at the beginning that Jing Ke loved reading and swordsmanship.
After Jing Ke left Gai Nie, he went to Handan, where he met Lu Goujian, another famous swordsman at the time. The two did not immediately mount their swords or get into a tense situation. In general, when masters meet, their sharp edges are restrained. When the time comes, they can kill someone in ten steps and leave no trace behind. Lu Goujian was like this, and he thought Jing Ke was like this too. So after meeting Jing Ke, he did not choose to engage with him or discuss swordsmanship. Instead, he sat down quietly and invited Jing Ke to play chess. In fact, in Lu Goujian's eyes, the way of swordsmanship and the way of chess are actually the same principle, and they can even be used to judge the life state of the players. As a result, Lu Goujian showed invisible vertical and horizontal sword energy and murderous intent in every move. Jing Ke didn't expect that there was such a huge gap between his and his own strength. When Lu Goujian raised his eyebrows, Jing Ke was thrown into chaos and even made a bad move. Lu Goujian finally regained his temper of being happy with revenge. Seeing that Jing Ke's level was too low, he stopped playing and reprimanded Jing Ke loudly. Jing Ke didn't refute, just left angrily.
At this moment, even Jing Ke himself was doubting, is his swordsmanship really so inferior?
As a result, Jing Ke recalled his days in Weiguo, as ethereal as the clouds but clearly visible. At that time, he also tried to use his sword skills to find a way out for himself, and he also found Wei Yuanjun for this purpose. But Wei Yuanjun was not moved at all at that time, and he was not used in the end. Perhaps it was because Jing Ke's swordsmanship was so superb that Wei Yuanjun didn't understand it at all. However, based on the above two stories, it seems more appropriate to believe that Jing Ke was actually a person in name only, and even at that time, he did not even have a name.
Generally, after a person suffers a huge blow, he will re-recognize the world and even change himself. As for the results of the change, it depends on the individual's destiny.
Jing Ke chose to change himself and never used force with others. Jing Ke finally realized his reality. He no longer played chess with others or discussed swords with others. In despising himself, Jing Ke gradually degenerated. He began to hang out among traffickers and lackeys, and became brothers with Gao Jianli, a butcher who killed dogs. Gao Jianli has two strengths. One is a good drinker. The ancients believed that "I urge you to drink one more glass of wine and share your eternal sorrows." Therefore, at this time, drinking is undoubtedly the catalyst for the sublimation of the relationship between Gao Jianli and Jing Ke, and also makes up for Jing Ke. Good medicine for a battered soul. Another strength of Gao Jianli was that he was good at building construction, so Jing Ke took advantage of the situation and sang loudly under the influence of alcohol. Between the wry smiles and the pain and joy, the two cherished each other.
Many times, Jing Ke asked himself, has this life passed so ordinaryly? But if he were to suddenly become extraordinary, he was not ready.
