Chapter 2 Apprenticeship and Art
When Yue Fangxing heard this, he thought to himself: It was indeed Linghu Chong, who is worthy of being the protagonist of the original book. Although he had undergone a major change and looked a little down-and-out, his eyes were lively and arrogant. He was so extraordinary at such a young age and would become a great man in the future. No wonder he was accepted as a great disciple by his father. Although his temperament was not calm enough, as long as he taught the method and practiced a little, he would be like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss. He thought in his heart, but his mouth was not idle. At that moment, the father and son, father and daughter talked for a while, and were happy.
In the blink of an eye, it was already three days. Yue Fangxing, Yue Lingshan, and Linghu Chong's third little boy are already very good these days. After all, they are all children, and they are just playful. Linghu Chong comes from the foot of the mountain, and many things are something that Yue Fangxing and Yue Lingshan have never seen before. Yue Lingshan is lively and cute, but Yue Fangxing is a human being with two lives, active thinking, and has just recovered the nature of some children. However, the third little boy played together. If it weren't for the concern that Yue Buqun was on the mountain, it would probably make the whole Huashan a mess.
Early this morning, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze got up early and arranged a few old servants to arrange for the appointment of teachers. After using the meal early, they led the Sanxiao into the back hall. When Yue Fangxing came in, he saw a plaque in Liang with four big words "Conquer the Sword with Qi" written on it. The palms were solemnly arranged, and there were long swords hanging on both walls. The sword sheath was dark and the sword spear was old. I thought it was the swords of the previous masters of the Huashan Sect. I couldn't help but think: "The Huashan Sect is worthy of being a martial arts sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Among the predecessors, I don't know how many heroes have been famous in the martial arts world for hundreds of years. I don't know how many people died under the swords of these predecessors. Although they have undergone major changes in recent years and have declined, it is also an opportunity to reform the old and renovate the new. As long as the trend changes, they may be even more brilliant."
Looking at the incense table in the middle, there are the spiritual thrones of the ancestors of the Huashan Sect, densely packed, and incense candles are lit beside them. Yue Fangxing looked carefully and saw that the tablet of Guangning Zi Hao Datong. He looked carefully, but he did not see the tablet of Xianyutong. He didn't know whether it was not placed or he had not found it. He thought to himself: "The Huashan Sect has indeed a foundation. It has inherited some Quanzhen martial arts and has been continuously improved over the past few years. The martial arts have already formed a complete system and cultivated countless talents. There are countless potential forces in the Jianghu. I don't know if there are any other seniors besides Feng Qingyang who have practiced in Huashan or Jianghu. No wonder there are only a few remaining people in Huashan Sect in the past few years, but no one dared to attack the mountain. I think people in the Jianghu can't figure out the depth. It's the Demon Sect that was so prosperous back then that there were also ten elders in Huashan!"
At this time, Yue Buqun led Linghu Chong to come forward, knelt down respectfully in front of the incense table, and bowed four times, praying: "My disciple, Yue Buqun, the 13th generation leader of the Huashan Sect, has been in charge of the Huashan Sect, and has been given the care of his ancestors. Today, he opens the mountain and accepts disciples, and includes Linghu Chong as the 14th generation disciple of the Huashan Sect. I hope that the spirits of the ancestors in heaven will protect Linghu Chong, teach Linghu Chong to study hard, keep himself in love, abide by the rules of this sect, and promote my Huashan Sect to boost the lintel of the Huashan Sect, and revitalize my Huashan Sect."
When Linghu Chong heard what his master said, he hurriedly knelt down respectfully. Yue Buqun stood up and said in a solemnly: "Linghu Chong, if you enter my Huashan Sect today, you must abide by the rules of the gate. If you violate it, you will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances. Those who are extremely guilty will be punished immediately. This sect has been based in the martial arts world for hundreds of years. Although there are other sects competing for strengths in martial arts, their strengths and weaknesses are not worthy of defeat. What is really important is that everyone in this sect cherishes the honor of the master. You must remember this section carefully."
Linghu Chong said, "Yes, I will listen to Master's teachings."
Yue Buqun said: "Linghu Chong, I will teach you the rules of this sect today, so you can listen to it."
Linghu Chong said, "Yes, Master, disciples, remember."
Yue Buqun said: "The first thing in this school is to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, and disrespect elders. The second thing in this school is to bully the weak and harm innocent people. The third thing in this school is to cheat and lust, and to mock women. The fourth thing in this school is to be jealous and kill each other. The fifth thing in this school is to forget righteousness and steal money and property. The sixth thing in this school is to be arrogant and offend fellow disciples. The seventh thing in this school is to promiscuous and collude with evil spirits. These are the seventh thing in Huashan, and our disciples follow one by one."
Linghu Chong said: "Yes, my disciples remember the teachings of Master: The first one of our sects is to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, and disrespect elders. The second one is to bully the weak and harm innocent people. The third one is to cheat and lust, and to mock women. The fourth one is to be jealous and kill each other. The fifth one is to forget righteousness when seeing profits and steal money and property. The sixth one is to be arrogant and offend fellow disciples. The seventh one is to promiscuous and collude with evil spirits. But he listened to the seventh one is to recite it. As expected, he is worthy of being the 14th generation disciple of Huashan and is extremely talented.
Yue Buqun was very satisfied with this and smiled and said, "Okay, that's all. This sect is not like other sects, with many rules and precepts. You just need to follow these seven precepts well, always remember that benevolence and righteousness is the first, and be a gentleman, your master's wife will be very happy. Come, come and pay homage to your master's wife."
Linghu Chong said, "Yes, Master! Pay a visit to Master's wife!" As he said that, he kowtowed to Ning Zhongze and bowed.
Yue Buqun said: "Chong'er, from now on, you will be the 14th generation disciple of my Huashan Sect. You must study qigong and martial arts hard to expand my Huashan Sect. Tomorrow I will teach you the basic skills of your sect."
Yue Lingshan stood beside Ning Zhongze, and had been a little impatient. At this time, he heard that there was skill to learn, and shouted, "I want to learn too, I want to learn too." Yue Buqun looked at Yue Fangxing next to him, and saw that he was also yearning for him. He was very pleased. He looked at Linghu Chong again, thinking, "In the future, my Huashan School Guangda lintel will rely on these children." Then he said, "You two are young and have weak bones. Let's learn some basic skills first with your senior brother. In the other time, you should focus on reading and practicing calligraphy. Chong'er, you should also learn some writing and some qi cultivation skills, so as not to be laughed at by people in the world, and say that my Yue Buqun's disciples do not understand the words of sages."
Yue Fangxing stood aside and watched Linghu Chong perform the ceremony of apprenticeship. He couldn't help but feel the profound etiquette of the ancients. When he heard the seven precepts of Huashan, he thought in his heart that the Huashan School had a long history and it really made sense. Looking at these seven precepts alone, although they are concise, they have profound meanings, and they are intimately in line with the Confucian and Taoist culture. When he heard the last sentence, he laughed in his heart, and knew that it must be the reputation of the "gentleman's sword" in the world in his heart. He used this to teach Linghu Chong a lesson.
When the third primary school heard this, they all responded respectfully, and then ran happily to play. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, they were still three children. Then they felt sad again. The introductory ceremony of the 14th generation disciple of the Huashan Sect was only present. Looking back on the last time he took over as the head of the sect, there were very few people watching the ceremony, so this time he did not invite anyone to watch the ceremony to avoid humiliation. It would be a few years later that Linghu Chong made his martial arts success and then informed the major sects in the world.
The next day, Yue Buqun gathered the three little sisters early and came to the Huashan martial arts field. He saw that there were swords and guns and equipment on the field, but it was a little worn out. Seeing this, the three little sisters were eager to try it, but they heard Yue Buqun say: "This sect's kung fu is the first priority. Once the sect's qi is completed, swordsmanship and boxing can be used to pick swordsmanship and pick leaves. Before practicing martial arts, you must first relax your muscles and bones to avoid not being able to practice the method, but instead hurt yourself. I will teach you to stand on horses later, strengthen the foundation and cultivate the sense of qi. This is the first step in our sect's kung fu. This is the same in all sects and sects, and the specific methods are similar. Our Huashan sect's martial arts focus on the foundation. If the foundation is not completed, everything will be empty. Please be careful."
As he said that, he took a few positions. Yue Fangxing looked at it for a while and knew that this was the skill of warm-up, so that he would not rashly move to hurt his joints and sprain his muscles and bones. It seemed to be in common with some modern warm-up exercises, and the effect was the same, so he did it with it. Then Yue Buqun taught them to prick the horse and teach the mantras and breathing methods. These are secrets of each sect. Like some martial arts keys, they never recorded in words to avoid being secretly learned by outsiders. However, once the sects were changed, it was easy to cause the loss of martial arts keys. This was the case with many sects in the world. Although the exercises and moves were passed down, later generations always did not make much progress and could not reach the level of their predecessors, and they lacked many keys in practice.
The three little sister acted according to their words, but there was something wrong. Yue Buqun pointed it out one by one. Yue Lingshan and Yue Fangxing thorned for less than a quarter of an hour. Linghu Chong thorned a meal. The three little sister was so tired that she felt sore and had dizzy. Yue Buqun hurriedly massaged the three little sister to promote blood circulation. The three little sister felt warm all over and suddenly became energetic. Yue Fangxing thought: Could this be the Zixia magic skill? Looking closely at Yue Buqun's face, it was nothing unusual. He knew it was not, and he felt a little disappointed. After all, the Zixia magic skill is famous in the world, and healing is still miraculous. I don't know how powerful it is. This is Yue Fangxing's thoughts. Although the Zixia magic skill is amazing, it also consumes internal strength. Yue Buqun will not use it easily. However, he only needs to use Zixia true qi to stimulate the Qi and blood acupoints for the three little sister to promote blood circulation. Why use Zixia magic skill?
After a while, the third little boy recovered and heard Yue Buqun say, "You will have breakfast later and have a rest first. In the morning, I will teach you how to read and practice calligraphy. In the afternoon, Chong'er will continue to practice horses. Shan'er and Xing'er are still young, so don't practice anymore, so as not to hurt your muscles and bones."
The three little sisters act according to their words, read and practice calligraphy in the morning, and practice martial arts in the afternoon. Yue Lingshan and Yue Fangxing either play on the mountain or watch Linghu Chong practice martial arts. Sometimes they deliberately lure Linghu Chong to play next to them, and Yue Buqun did not stop them, so they used it to train Linghu Chong's mind.
After a few days, it was like this every day, and the third little boy couldn't stand it. Yue Lingshan couldn't help crying to Yue Buqun and said, "It's like this every day, it's not fun, I won't practice anymore."
When Yue Buqun heard this, he said angrily: "The key to martial arts is to persevere. There is no fun. How can you practice it when you say you want to practice it, or if you don't practice it."
Yue Lingshan had never seen her father get so angry, and she was so scared that she cried. Ning Zhongze heard the crying, hurried out of the room and hugged Yue Lingshan in his arms, unable to comfort her. He knew that her husband was thinking about Guangdao for five times and had never taught his apprentice. He was a little impatient. His homework was a little heavy and said, "Senior brother, is Shan'er still young after all! He is a girl's home, so let her practice with me in the future!"
Yue Buqun felt helpless when he heard this. He knew that his wife felt sorry for his daughter, and he was reluctant to let his daughter suffer so much. However, the world was dangerous and the situation in the Huashan Sect was in danger. How could he gain a foothold in the world without making up his mind to practice qigong? However, what his wife said was not bad. After all, there is a difference between men and women. Although the three of them are young and old, it will be more inconvenient to practice qigong together. It is better to separate now, so he said: "It's good, but the junior sister must not relax. Let Shan'er compete after a while."
Ning Zhongze laughed and said, "Then he has a good relationship. Senior brother, although my kung fu is not as good as you, my kung fu may not be as good as you in teaching your apprentices."
Yue Buqun also smiled and said, "Then let's take a look at which disciples are better than the famous 'Ning Nuxia' or 'Gentleman Sword'." Yue Buqun knew that his wife was arrogant and even after getting married, he still liked her fellow martial arts members to call her "Ning Nuxia" and did not like to call her "Mrs. Yue". You should know that the three words "Ning Nuxia" are to compliment her own skills, but the three words "Mrs. Yue" inevitably have the suspicion of relying on a famous husband. However, the couple has always respected each other, so they didn't care. They said it and made fun of her because they were afraid that their wife would relax and would not be cruel to teach their daughter.
Ning Zhongze knew her husband's feelings and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm afraid that Xing'er will not be as good as Shan'er at that time." He immediately hugged Yue Lingshan.
