The fat man was angry and frustrated, and turned around to leave. The examiner ordered the school captain to catch up with the fat man and ask for the name of his master. At the same time, he announced that Changsheng had won and sent someone to lead him to the north to line up for battle.
Before Chang Sheng walked into the queue, Yang Kai's side was also over. The other party relied on his internal skills and tried to attack Yang Kai, but he didn't know that Yang Kai was practicing the Zhou Tian Divine Art and was directly knocked away by Yang Kai.
Since the two of them finished very quickly, they were still lining up together after lining up in the north. However, although the two were lining up together, they did not talk to each other. At this time, there was no obstacle in front of them, and they could clearly see the battle situation in various arenas. It is said that rocks from other mountains can attack jade. Looking at other people's martial arts, there may be something worth learning from.
By watching the battle, Changsheng quickly discovered a problem, that is, most people are limited to moves, and the moves they use are very solid. Although they have become very proficient after years of practice, and the speed of their moves is also very fast, but There is always a sense of confusion between offense and defense, and I cannot make the best use of everything, let alone use it at my fingertips.
This situation is very common. The root cause of this problem is self-righteousness. These people have practiced their moves in advance. They think that with one move of their own, the other party can only dodge or counterattack, and the subsequent moves will target them. is the reaction that the other party may make, which is wrong, because only the other party knows what the other party thinks. There are always some people who take the unconventional path, and the unlucky ones are the former.
Furthermore, some people have so many martial arts moves that they would have to practice hundreds of different moves for many years. The reason why they have so many moves is undoubtedly to be prepared and to try to make sure that no matter what moves the opponent uses, they will be able to do it. You can find suitable moves from the moves you have practiced before, but this approach is also wrong, because the moves are ever-changing, and if you want to be completely foolproof, you may have to practice tens of thousands of moves in advance.
There are similarities between practicing martial arts and being a human being. Everyone in the world is learning to figure out how to respond to any situation. In fact, this is wrong. God knows what will happen. The correct way is to keep loyalty, filial piety and benevolence in mind. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are the biggest rules. All The small rules are all derived from the big rules. Take the big rules as the guideline for acting. No matter what you encounter, you can make a decision immediately. Do it if it does not violate loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice, and don't do anything if it violates loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice. Just be straightforward. No fuss.
The more he watched, the more Changsheng felt that it was right for the imperial court to clean up these martial arts sects. Many people's martial arts skills were not even considered as three-legged cats. People like this could still set up some martial arts sects and pretend to be green forest heroes. They had no real talent. If you learn from others and form a sect, in the end you can't defeat any bad guys, you can't do chivalry, and you can only bully the common people.
It is said that when three people are together, there must be a teacher. This is actually not true. The attitude is quite correct, it seems quite humble, and it is quite likable, but this is not the case. Let alone three people, sometimes there is no one among thirty people. Changsheng watched more than a dozen shows worth learning from, but he didn't find anyone who could learn from them. They were all just rubbish.
However, I have seen too much and have not learned from experience, but I have summarized the rules. As Chen Liqiu said that day, most of the martial arts related to Buddhism follow a fierce path, opening and closing to conquer the strong. Stay strong and avoid taking the wrong path.
The martial arts used by the sects derived from Confucianism are all-encompassing, vast and complex, including all kinds of strange and weird moves.
The martial arts used by sects related to Taoism have few rigid moves and many changes, which are obviously similar to his own martial arts. The reason for this is that Taoists believe in the way of heaven and understand yin and yang. To be sure, he created his own martial arts based on the Hunyuan Divine Kung Fu and the Wind-Chasing Ghost Steps. Hunyuan Divine Kung Fu and the Wind-Chasing Ghost Steps are both Taoist martial arts. To put it bluntly, his martial arts are not all based on his own whims, but are borrowed from With the wisdom of his ancestors, without the dual aura of Hunyuan Divine Art and access to the Twelve Meridians, he would not have been able to calmly change his moves at unimaginable angles.
Although he is a Taoist priest, he has never loved the house and the bird and lost fairness. In terms of the power of martial arts, Buddhist Kung Fu is undoubtedly the strongest. Through diligent study and hard training, he strengthens himself, overcomes hardness with hardness, overcomes softness with hardness, and does not adapt to the situation. Ever changing.
Taoist Kung Fu and Confucian Kung Fu seem to be weaker in power, but they are not inferior in actual combat, because Taoists are good at magic and can use magic to enhance the power of martial arts. Confucian Kung Fu is also full of strange skills and cleverness. The hidden weapons derived from the Mohists and the poisonous techniques derived from the doctors can all be used to defeat the enemy.
The first round had the largest number of people and took the longest time. It didn't end until noon. By this time, there were already many people standing in front of Changsheng.
Seeing that most of the Imperial Army captains responsible for maintaining order were on the south side and there were not many captains around the winning team, Da Tou took the opportunity to get over and took out a fire stuffer from his bag and gave it to Changsheng.
Everyone didn't understand why, thinking that he was going to jump in line, they all reprimanded him, and Datou hurriedly ran back.
After standing all morning, everyone was hungry. Some people found that Da Tou had food on him, so they asked him in a low voice for begging. How could Da Tou give it to him for free? He took the opportunity to sell it at a high price. Three fire roasts were sold for ten taels of silver.
If you want to live forever and never be hungry, give that fire to Yang Kai, and Yang Kai doesn’t want it.
Seeing Da Tou standing in the queue at the back without eating, Chang Sheng guessed that he only had four huoshuo with him, and he had sold them all and had nothing to eat, so he coughed lightly, and when Da Tou understood and raised his head, he threw the huoshao to him with his backhand. Got him.
After taking the big head and burning it, he didn't want to eat it himself. After some bargaining, he sold it to someone else.
Chang Sheng turned back and glanced at Datou. This guy was very speculative. He never let go of any opportunity to make money. Even after making money, he was not willing to spend it on himself. He still used hard food to satisfy his hunger. What was the reason that made him work hard to make money but not be willing to spend it? ?
Changsheng had a good impression of Datou. Thinking of his previous words, he was worried that he would be persuaded by the court to quit midway, so he turned around and said to Datou while the nearby captain was walking elsewhere, "Don't quit midway, fight to the end and stay in Chang'an."
There were several rows between Changsheng and Datou. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at him in confusion. Changsheng couldn't say anything in full view. When Datou nodded in astonishment, he turned around and stopped talking.
At the end of the day, the first round finally ended, and the second round began immediately. The examiner opened the wax-sealed envelope again and took out the emperor's handwriting. This time the rules were changed again. They competed line by line, one against two and three. Fight four.
After hearing the rules of the competition, Chang Sheng hurriedly turned to look at the leader of the team. Fortunately, he was ranked sixth in his line, while Yang Kai was ranked seventh.
When Chang Sheng turned his head, other people in the team were doing the same thing. The one above him was a young monk who was sixteen or seventeen years old. Seeing that he was about to fight Chang Sheng, he took a breath of cold air.
However, this person's face just didn't look good, and he didn't lose his composure like the fat man before. Determined that he wanted to fight Changsheng, the young monk lowered his eyebrows, closed his eyes, and began to chant sutras.
The questions in the imperial examinations are all set by the emperor. This immortal knows it, but for a child martial arts examination, the emperor continuously changes the rules. This seems to be a bit of a fuss. This competition is of great importance and no one can cheat. Take a step back. He said that even if he wanted to cheat, there was no chance of cheating.
The number of people was reduced by half, and the time required for the competition was greatly reduced. At the end of the day, it was Chang Sheng's turn again.
Seeing that he was about to take the stage, the young monk next to him finally opened his eyes, turned around and said to a monk in the group behind him, "Brother, I have to leave. Prajna Temple depends on you."
Seeing the sadness that the young monk said was just like explaining the funeral arrangements, Changsheng felt a lot of unbearable in his heart, but in the martial arts competition, he couldn't tolerate him being merciful.
The so-called life of a person refers to unyielding vigor. The young monk has lost his vigor and fighting spirit. After taking the stage, he was distraught and lost his footing. Within two rounds, he was pushed off the stage by Changsheng.
After Chang Sheng won, Yang Kai also won consecutively, and the big head behind also defeated his opponent easily.
After the second round, there were 559 people left in the field, an odd number.
As expected, the examiner called Datou out of the queue and persuaded him to quit. Because they were too far away, Changsheng couldn't hear what the two sides said, but the other party's condition should be to keep the Tianzanmen, and it was unclear whether he would be given any money. .
Datou is a dwarf who feels ashamed of himself. He originally planned to take the opportunity to get some money and go home. He also told Changsheng about his plan earlier, but Changsheng had just spoken to him and hoped that he would stay. In this case, he insisted on participating in the war. Does not exit.
Seeing that the other party had been lobbying, Changsheng was worried that his big head would not be able to withstand the pressure, so he raised his voice and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the imperial military examination is designed to recruit talents, and it is unfair to persuade him to withdraw from the examination just because of his short stature."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. If it were anyone else, he would probably be kicked out of the examination room if he said these words, but he is both a disciple of Longhu Mountain and the son-in-law of the Ni family. Yesterday, he fought hard against the crowd and was in the limelight. Who dares to kick him out?
He spoke out to defend him at this time, which was equivalent to telling everyone that Datou was his friend. Naturally, the examiner could no longer persuade Datou to withdraw from the exam. Instead of persuading him to withdraw from the exam, he put him aside and promoted without fighting.
After three rounds, there were 279 people left, including the big head, a total of 280 people.
This situation was already expected by the court. Two hundred and eighty people drew lots together. The two hundred people who got the red lot at the end were exempted from the battle, and the eighty people who got the black lot at the end had another battle.
The more they were afraid of whoever was drawn, the more they would be drawn. Changsheng and the other three didn't mind fighting again, but all three of them got red draws. So far, all three of them had won.
Those who drew the black lot continued to fight, while those who drew the red lot watched from the sidelines.
At this time, the captain responsible for maintaining order no longer shouted and reprimanded them, because these 200 people would be appointed by the court to serve on errands, and they would probably be colleagues in the future, and some of them might even be their superiors.
Datou took the opportunity to run up to Changsheng, cried with joy, and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for your support. Thank you, Taoist Master, for your support."
"Go back quickly, don't run around." Changsheng said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes," Da Tou turned around and waved his hands disdainfully when he saw someone looking at him, "What are you looking at? I am also a person with a reputation..."
