Shenhao with a learning panel

"Okay, the first step of learning just needs to be consolidated and consolidated. After a few days of rest, you can complete the second step and learn all the sword skills collected!"

Li Shi drove home and immediately took Wang Yuelan to have a big meal to celebrate.

Then I went to the master bedroom early to rest in order to leave for Yangcheng tomorrow.

That night, Li Shi had a rare dream. In the dream, after practicing the power of pulling out a piece of grass and cutting stars, he did all kinds of evil. He directly flew to the Taiyin Star with his sword and broke into Chang'e's Guanghan Palace. Not only did he eat He stole her fairy peach, drank her long-preserved nectar, occupied her boudoir, and snatched her jade rabbit. He teased and played with her in every possible way, making the Fairy of the Moon Palace cry with anger, but he could do nothing to his bully-like self.

"I didn't expect that it would be quite fun to be a villain."

After waking up, Li Shi was still thinking about it - condemning the really hateful version of himself in the dream, but when he got up, he was startled.

He looked down and frowned slightly.

For a moment, he felt that the sword in reality... seemed to be able to cut through the stars.

That strength is really excellent.

Not right!

There were indeed signs of worsening of the "sequelae" in the past two days, but today it was particularly swollen.

Li Shi turned around and saw that the woman beside the pillow was still sleeping soundly. Her fair and pretty face was flushed. Although she was asleep, she could still see the unbearable contentment and exhaustion from the look in the corner of her eyes.

He lifted the quilt, got out of bed quietly, took his mobile phone, and walked out while checking the time.

It was only 23:[-], and when I looked out the window through the gap in the curtains, it was completely dark.

After walking through the cloakroom to the bathroom, and taking a cold shower for three minutes, Li Shi smiled bitterly, patted his bathrobe, and walked straight to the study.

After laying out the paper and ink, Li Shi stood in front of the desk without sitting down, closed his eyes, took a deep breath slowly, and after a while, he opened his eyes, picked up the pen, and began to write with concentration:
The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name can be named, but it is not a permanent name...the two come from the same place, have different names and the same pretext, are both mysterious and mysterious, and are the gateway to many wonderful things.

After writing Chapter 1, continue writing Chapter 4:

Tao cup, but it is not full when used. Yuanhe is like the ancestor of all things. Defeat its sharpness, dissolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and become the same as its dust. Zhanhe, it seems or exists. I don't know whose son he is, the one who preceded Emperor Xiang.

After writing this, Li Shi stopped and thought about the meaning of the scripture.

"There is a saying in "Shuowen Jiezi": Cup, utensil is empty."

"The Tao is like an empty vessel that can never be filled... So I keep learning and evolving, just to become the Tao? Summarize the endless knowledge and skills and absorb them into my container, which can never be filled. Come here...hehe."

Li Shi's thoughts were flying, and he thought about some lofty and lofty things. He couldn't help but smile, and called up the study panel again. He stared at the nebula in the background that was constantly being annihilated and reborn, and quietly admired it for a long time.

After regaining consciousness, he continued to take the pen and wrote for a while.

After waiting for 10 minutes, I put down my writing and looked down. I saw that the "sequelae" had subsided unconsciously.

When exactly happened, he was so absorbed in writing and thinking that he didn't notice it.

but……

Li Shi's face hardened, and he began to ponder why after practicing swordsmanship for several days, this "sequelae" of both happiness and trouble suddenly worsened?

"I've heard before that practicing martial arts will enhance a boy's masculinity... If a person's body becomes better because of martial arts training, it is true that the yang energy in the body will increase. In fact, other methods of physical exercise will also have this effect."

"But my health has been getting better for a long time. I just checked the study panel and my physical attribute points are still 34.9, which is unchanged from before."

Li Shi thought for a while, picked up his phone and opened WeChat. In the martial arts hobby group, he asked the other four people in it: "Brothers, I want to ask you a question. When you first started practicing martial arts, did you frequently wake up in the morning? What about the phenomenon of Yang?”

It's only about five o'clock in the morning.

However, Gao Shicang in the group was a Taoist priest who had to get up early every day to do morning lessons, and Guo Liang also had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Both of them saw Li Shifa's message immediately.

Gao Shicang: "It's a very normal phenomenon."

Guo Liang continued: "This is normal. I started practicing Kung Fu when I was 12 years old. When I was fourteen or fifteen years old, for a period of time, I woke up with bangs every morning, but be careful not to have diarrhea... Teacher Li, I understand. Go! Follow what my master taught me and my own experience, do something else, divert your attention, and after a while, this phenomenon will disappear and return to normal conditions."

After Li Shi saw his reply, he typed: "Good morning, Senior Brother Guo! But what is the specific principle here?"

Guo Liang: "(covering face) I really haven't thought about the specific principle. @高士康, Taoist Priest, you are a health master, can you tell me?"

Gao Shicang: "You have the dual effects of physical development and practice. Teacher Li's situation is different. He has passed the developmental stage. It is very likely that during practice, he stimulated many muscles that are not usually used. These muscles The exercise will cause the yang energy in the kidneys to rise rapidly in a short period of time, and the vitality of the whole body will be replenished and become more abundant... We usually eliminate this phenomenon by meditating and becoming quiet."

Li Shi raised his eyebrows immediately after seeing it.

What Senior Brother Gao said is not entirely correct.

His physical attributes are as high as 34.9, and his vitality has already been very strong.

But I have the status of a learning panel blessing a permanent certificate, and I really don’t exercise much in normal times. During this period of sword practice, I am also practicing my internal strength. The strength starts from the soles of the feet, runs through the whole body, to the arms, and then to the sword in the hand. In this process, I really exercised a lot of muscles that I don’t usually use very much!

"So the 'sequelae' is aggravated in the morning. It is very likely that practicing internal strength and stimulating these muscles causes 'excitement', which makes me particularly angry recently."

After figuring out the secret, Li Shi laughed.

It's nothing. If you are angry, let's relieve it. Anyway, unlike Senior Brother Gao and Senior Brother Guo, who are ordinary martial arts practitioners, we have too much vitality and are not afraid of leaking it.

He said in the group again: "Thank you two senior brothers for clarifying my doubts! (Thank you)"

Then put down the phone, took the tablet to the living room, turned on the TV, selected the Peking Opera "Wild Boar Forest" on the tablet, and cast the screen to the TV.

This Peking Opera tells the story of Chapter [-] and Chapter [-] of "Water Margin". Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu, his family was ruined, and he was finally forced to go to Liangshan. It is a very classic Peking Opera play.

The reason why Li Shi watched this play was that there was a scene in which Lin Chong danced with a sword.

This play has been performed by many famous dramatists, so I gathered a dozen of them for comparison and observation.

The first thing I watched was the version by Wang Lijun, a martial arts student who had won the Mei Lanfang Gold Medal.

Looking at Yu Kuizhi's version, this one also won the Mei Lanfang Gold Award, as well as the Plum Blossom Award and the Golden Record Award. "The dramatic sword dance has a stronger sense of form and classical charm, and the sword has a strong symbolic meaning..."

After Li Shi watched all the clips, he thought about it, picked up his tablet, searched for the play "Wild Boar Forest", found the 1962 movie version, cast it on the screen, and slowly started watching it.

This Peking Opera movie stars Peking Opera master Li Shaochun and has received high reviews.

At first, Li Shi thought he would not be able to stand this kind of movie - when he was a child, he could not stand it when the adults and old people in the village watched the movie.

But after watching it for a while, I unexpectedly discovered that it seemed pretty good. Listening to the singing of Peking Opera and the music of gongs and drums, I somehow felt that something that I thought was unpleasant to listen to when I was a child seems to be... not only not unpleasant to listen to, but it also seems to be quite pleasant to listen to!

Uh, am I getting older?
Gene awakening?

Li Shi smiled, put aside his distracting thoughts, and went to make another pot of Liu'an melon slices, sipping tea and watching a movie quietly.

The movie was very long, and halfway through the movie, it was getting brighter outside. He took a break, pressed pause, stood up, stretched, and walked to the window to look out into the distance.

It was quiet all around, and I suddenly thought that I hadn’t posted to Moments for more than half a year. I rolled my eyes, picked up the remote control and pressed continue play, took a photo with my phone, and sent it to Moments, with the following text:

A young guy in his 20s actually watches this kind of movie early in the morning! Is it the return of aesthetics or the awakening of ancient genes? The opera I hated the most when I was a kid is actually very good now!
After sending it, he threw the phone aside and continued to watch it carefully.

After reading the story together, Li Shi looked at the "Lin Chong sword dancing" scene again and suddenly had new ideas.

"This sword dance, placed in the plot, not only shows Lin Chong's prowess, but also foreshadows 'resistance'... During the sword dance, the rhythm of the drums seems to indicate something."

"Compared with martial arts, the sword dance in opera serves more of the plot of the drama, showing the attributes of the characters, and also interprets the core idea of ​​the play to a certain extent!"

"This happens to be something I can learn from. The third and fourth steps, using the sword as a pen, are to use sword skills to interpret poetry and articles!"

Li Shi bought a high-speed rail ticket to Yangcheng at nine o'clock in the morning.

The assistant Zhang Huijing came at 07:30 in the morning. After having breakfast at Li Shi's place, she drove him and Wang Yuelan to the high-speed rail station.

As soon as he got on the bus and found a seat, Wang Jianmu, the lsp in the martial arts hobby group, kept liking him.

"@李石, Teacher Li, you are too angry!"

"Don't listen to the Taoist priest and Guo Liang. One of them is a martial arts idiot, and the other wants to live like a bastard... Listen to me! Find a few fierce and beautiful young ladies, try your best to extinguish the fire, and keep your medicine until the disease is cured, and your whole body It’s comfortable both up and down! (hehe)”

"I speak from experience!"

“@李石, how about you come to my place and I’ll help you make arrangements, whether it’s a stewardess or a nurse, it’s up to you!!”

Li Shi also replied that the group had been silent before. Lin Zongyue was the first to say: "Everyone knows this. Adults don't do multiple-choice questions, so of course they want them all."

Wang Jianmu: "(sideways glance) What, Brother Lin, are you enlightened? If you come, I will arrange everything! But I remember that Mrs. Sister-in-law seems to be very powerful (raises eyebrows)"

Guo Lan's appearance flashed in Li Shi's mind.

He smiled and quickly said to the group: "Senior Brother Lin, I am on the high-speed train to Yangcheng now. My sister-in-law seems to have made an appointment to have tea with me."

Lin Zongyue: "I'm talking about you, not myself! Don't accuse me wrongly!"

After joking for a while, Wang Jianmu still wanted to find him as a playmate: "Teacher Li, you promised to come to my place to play, when will you do it? My secretary has changed twice."

Li Shi thought for a while and replied: "I will definitely not have time this month or the beginning of next month. I may not have time to go to your Yangcheng gathering at the end of October. Let's look at November."

After chatting for a while, Li Shi turned to look at Wang Yuelan next to him.

I saw her wearing headphones while watching a spa massage instruction video.

Li Shi reached over, took her jade hand, and shook it gently. He waited for the woman to take off her earphones and look over, then asked playfully: "Why do you think of watching a video of this kind of thing?"

Wang Yuelan seemed a little embarrassed when he asked her, a shy look flashed across her face, and she said softly: "Sister He told me last time that Xiaoyuan learned this specially. I...I am your life assistant, and I want to learn more. You have to learn, and I can help you in the future.”

Li Shi couldn't help but smile and said: "There's no need to curl up like this, you are talented anyway."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over her proud features.

Wang Yuelan felt a little embarrassed but was actually happy, and said, "Qiuye said, I don't have to worry about too many arts. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so just take a look."

Li Shi said nothing more. Anyway, he was the one who enjoyed it in the end.

He also took out his tablet, but instead of watching the video, he opened the collection of academic papers related to swords and clicked on a paper called "On the Cultural Value of Traditional Chinese Swordsmanship".

"Abstract: From the perspective of sword culture, this paper focuses on the rich connotation of traditional swordsmanship and its unique functions and values."

"The sword conveys the artistic conception, and the sword conveys the spirit."

"Traditional Chinese swordsmanship has had a profound impact on painting and calligraphy... During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Daozi met the swordsman Pei Min and the calligrapher Zhang Xu in Luoyang. After watching Pei's sword dance, Zhang Shu Yibi and Wu painted The other wall..."

Li Shizheng was absorbing knowledge useful to him from various academic papers related to swords. He was so absorbed in reading that his cell phone in his pocket vibrated several times in succession.

He thought that something was wrong and Wang Jianmu was following him in the group. He took it out and took a look. It was a text message and a WeChat reminder of a new express being deposited in the express cabinet.

I don’t seem to have bought anything online recently?
Did someone send me something?
Li Shi suddenly thought of something and quickly checked the express delivery on his mobile phone. Sure enough, the sample booklet of "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" had arrived!

He was instantly excited.

As a person who has loved reading books since childhood, and majored in Chinese related majors, after getting the learning panel, the first thing I chose to study was Chinese. Facing the first book publication in my life, I really couldn't help but be excited!
"Well, the book finally arrived, just half a day earlier."

Li Shi was in a particularly good mood. He stood up and ignored the strange looks from other passengers in the carriage. He directly held Wang Yuelan's pretty face next to him and kissed her hard. Then, with her surprised and surprised eyes, he walked directly to the second section. The location where the carriages are connected.

Directly dialed Zhang Huijing's number.

"Hurry up and help me pick up the sample book, move it home, dismantle it, take a video, and take some more photos to send to me!"

At this time, the assistant naturally has to play its due role! (End of chapter)
