Confucianism in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 35 Swordplay

The mountains are quiet and beautiful, and the water is rippling.A waterfall fell down, splashing thousands of feet of water.

If you look carefully, you will find a figure under the waterfall, moving against the falling water.

A figure stabbed between the waterfalls with a long sword in hand, like a butterfly piercing flowers, with a dexterous posture and a fairy-like appearance.

The movements are very elegant and skillful, each move is smooth and natural.

Every time the sword is swung, the sword and the flowing water seem to merge into one, as if the sword cannot be seen in the breeze, and in the midst of all changes, one cannot see people in the flowing water.

"You girl, your understanding is not bad. You have mastered the key of using the sword to draw the water and the water to guide the sword so quickly."

An indifferent voice came, the tone was calm, without the slightest emotion, but with an invisible oppressive force.

"That's all for today, you go and change your clothes first."

The girl in yellow clothes came out of the waterfall, her clothes were soaked and her hair was wet on her shoulders.

The whole person looks extremely embarrassed, but it gives people a different kind of beauty, like iceberg snow lotus, not stained with dirt.

The girl agreed, and then walked to the side.

"Yan Ran thanked Cao Zi, I will appreciate your guidance." Ji Yanran was dressed in plain clothes, with jade hairpins on her hair, her face was charming, her eyes were like water, and she saluted the white-clothed swordsman with a smile.

The swordsmanship of her lineage is said to be a set of swordsmanship realized by the ancestors in Xianshan who studied the skills of bird flying and ape climbing, also known as the white ape swordsmanship.

In terms of swordsmanship, it is required that the sword moves like a swallow flying, and the sword falls like the wind stops, freely and unpredictable.

Qi moves with the sword, elegant and light, pursuing rigidity, softness, speed and dexterity.Use softness to overcome rigidity, and use movement to brake.

These days, Cao Qiudao has often given advice to Nongyu, his apprentice is not bad in understanding, and this style of swordsmanship has a bit of charm of combining strength and softness.

.........

Thoughts are as natural as flowing water, as unforced as flowers blooming, as irresistible as falling leaves

There is nothing in the heart that is empty, and one thought is quiet.

His mind was as calm as water, and he walked slowly, his thoughts drifted into the boundless distance, and his body and mind were baptized by the void.As if wandering thousands of miles, the soul moves between mountains and rivers and merges with the air.

He forgot the passage of time.Everything, now no longer exists.

After letting go of his thoughts, his heart was calm and unwavering, without a single wave of ups and downs, without the slightest throbbing.It's like a calm lake with no ripples at a glance.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it's a moment, maybe it's a thousand years, maybe it's ten thousand years.

A person is sitting on the mirror-clear lake.He just sat there quietly, without any movement, even his breathing disappeared without a trace.

He opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely clear, without any impurities.

The sword clanged and clanged, and a sword circle formed around him in an instant, endless sword lights bloomed, spanning the sky, and heading straight to the sky.

Broken body does not refer to the human body, but the space.

In the sword world, everything ceased to exist.Only the pure 【Sword】 remained.

One thought arises, one thought dies, as the mind circulates, the sword arises and dies.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a murderous intent, and a sharp sharp edge came through the air.

The swordsman in white slashed out with a sword.

The sword world around him reappeared, and the endless sword light gathered instantly, turning into a supreme Qi sword and slashing towards the extremely sharp edge.

It's a pity that his [sword] was broken before he could get close to that unparalleled sharpness.

No one in the world can stop this ray of sharpness, it still came towards him, until it disappeared in front of his eyebrows.

"Now you can control your own thoughts, but remember that only one thought in your heart can match your [sword]. No thoughts and no self is the ultimate state."

An indifferent voice sounded in his heart.

"Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish.

As I said earlier, you don't need me to teach you your sword skills.Now I will teach you the last thing - Yijian.

It was originally a fusion of the principles of swordplay and my own martial arts before I was 30 years old. It can be regarded as a swordsmanship or not, it all depends on you.

If you only learn the technique, it is just a swordsmanship that pays attention to predicting the enemy's opportunity first, taking advantage of the vacancy, attacking later, and winning with one move.

You need to use your sharp eyesight to grasp the opponent's martial arts skills, find out the opponent's foundation, and then make a judgment. Only by blocking the opponent's later moves can you control the enemy.

Just like when playing chess, you must first understand the eternal rules of the chessboard, so that you can always take the initiative.

Only when you are not shackled by its techniques, and you use your heart to play the sword, use the sword to cultivate your heart, and reach the state where the sword heart is clear and the heart sword sympathizes, is the real swordsmanship. "

The voice dissipated, and the figure of the white-clothed swordsman slowly disappeared, and there was no trace of it anymore.

It starts from one and ends at nine, the lower ones keep their form, the upper ones keep their spirits, the gods are gods, and the opportunities are omens.The movement of the machine is inseparable from its emptiness. This emptiness is very empty, and it is an emptiness that is not empty.

Quiet and subtle, its coming cannot be met, and its going cannot be chased.To welcome it and follow it, to make peace with it unintentionally, the Xuan Dao has just come into being...

The swordsman in white instilled everything into that sword, a wisp of sword intent.

This is a sensual martial art, its subtlety lies in the combination of whole-hearted feeling and sword.

The external feeling is empty, but the inner feeling is real.There is nothing outside the heart, the heart is better than things, only me and the sword.

This martial art does not cultivate inner qi, but the spirit.

There is nothing to die, nothing to live, nothing to be empty, nothing to be full, the body is empty and empty, in harmony with the truth, in harmony with nature, omnipotent, omniscient, and omniscient.

To put it simply, it is only cultivating spiritual power and pursuing the extraordinary in mind.Very idealistic connotation.

Fu Nian got up, stepped on the water, and walked towards the shore, there were still people waiting for him.

.........

Ji Yanran took Fu Nian and Nong Yu to the outside of the mountain. This place is called Jianhu Lake, located ten miles outside Daliang City.

On the day of March, the mountain flowers and wild birds are in early spring, a piece of turquoise, against the peach trees in the mountains, adding a bit of poetry.

"Miss, we are here, please be careful." A girl who looked like a servant girl helped the lady in a red skirt and reminded softly.

"I'm fine." The lady smiled lightly, gentle and dignified, beautiful and refined.

Her lower abdomen has already swollen very high, obviously she has been pregnant for six or seven months, and she is not far away from giving birth.

Recently, she has always felt that there is something bad foreboding, and she is uneasy.

I heard that there is an ancient peach tree in this mountain, which is said to be five hundred years old.But still immortal, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant.It is rumored that if you seek marriage under the tree, you will surely get your long-cherished wish.

She had just come here secretly with her maid, to ask for a wish.

She looked at the ancient peach tree in front of her. Among the luxuriant branches, gorgeous peach blossoms were blooming. The fragrance of the peach blossoms was refreshing.

"I hope our family can live this life in peace and stability." The lady stroked her lower abdomen, her face brimming with maternal brilliance.

Suddenly, the lady felt a sharp pain in her stomach, a look of pain appeared on her face, and cold sweat oozes from her forehead.

"Miss! What's the matter with you!" The servant girl hurriedly supported the lady and asked anxiously.

"I, I." The lady's face was pale, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, her lips were trembling, but she couldn't speak, only feeling the pain in her abdomen.

"Come on! Come on! Help us!" the maid shouted anxiously, looking in all directions.

"Don't worry, let me see." A soft female voice sounded.

A beautiful woman came here with a girl in yellow clothes and a child in Tsing Yi.

is her?Ji Yanran raised her eyes, a look of thought appeared in her eyes.

But she didn't show it, and walked quickly to the lady, reaching out to catch her pulse.

Her internal veins were somewhat disordered, and her Qi and blood were floating.

"May I have a pulse test?" Fu Nian asked the maid.

The servant girl gave him a vigilant look and refused to agree. How dare he let a child add to the trouble at this time.

"You have to trust him, don't look at him as young, he knows medical skills." Seeing this, Ji Yanran said to the maid.

"That's fine." The maid thought for a while, looked at the pale lady in pain, and finally nodded.

Fu Nian immediately came to the lady's side, put her fingers on the lady's wrist, and felt her pulse.

The pulse is Huamai, with pulses in three parts, one breath and seven toes, the chi pulse waits for the kidney, and the uterus is tied to the kidney, which is obviously the fetal qi agitation after pregnancy.

"Your lady's body is deficient, and she is pregnant, coupled with restlessness and strong heart fire, which leads to poor circulation of Qi and blood, and abnormal movement of fetal Qi. I'm afraid there is a danger of premature delivery." Fu Nian withdrew her hand and pondered for a while After a while, he opened his mouth and said.

During the expedition with the army, he, who knows medical science, also healed many sick soldiers as an army doctor, and he has a lot of experience.

Any knowledge in the world can only be truly learned when knowledge and practice are united and theory and practice are combined.

"Little doctor, can you save my lady? The servant girl asked hastily.

Fu Nian lifted the lady up and put a palm on the back of her heart.

The pulse of the husband is a sea of ​​internal organs, and the internal organs are all endowed.The principle of pregnancy pulse nourishment, if Jueyin liver vein, foot Shaoyang gallbladder pulse, is the meridian of one viscera.

The sword qi in his sword veins turned into soft true qi and injected into the lady's body along the Chongmai to help her stabilize her fetal qi.

After a while, the lady felt that the fetal gas in her abdomen was gradually stabilized, and she felt more comfortable, and the pain also subsided a lot.

Only then did she have the strength to speak, "My concubine thanked the young doctor."

Fu Nian hurriedly supported the lady who was about to get up to thank her, and said: "Madam, you should not move rashly now, lest you get pregnant again. You can rest here for a while, and then go down the mountain when you feel better."

"But let the young man make the decision." The delicate lady's face was slightly rosy, and her tone was not as weak as before.

The maid hurriedly brought a brocade handkerchief to wipe the sweat off the lady's forehead.

"Brother Nian, how is this lady better?" Nong Yu looked up at Fu Nian, her immature face was full of worry.

The servant girl couldn't help becoming nervous when she heard the words, for fear that something might happen to her young lady.

"She is fine now, but after returning home, she needs to find a doctor as soon as possible to recuperate her body and nourish her fetus." Fu Nian reminded.

"Your wife's lack of energy and blood is due to the injury of the central meridian. You must eat moderately, avoid addiction, guard against fire, and avoid miscarriage." Fu Nian continued to warn.

"I will definitely remember what the young doctor said." The lady nodded slightly, and said with a gentle face.

"Yu'er, brother Nian, let's go down the mountain with them. I can help them a little bit," Ji Yanran said.

The two naturally had no objection.

When they arrived at the outskirts of Daliang, the two master and servant seemed to have some scruples, and after bidding farewell to Fu Nian and the other three, they left in a hurry.

Fu Nian had already noticed Ji Yanran's expression on the mountain before, she probably knew the identity of this noble lady.

Moreover, the lady was wearing a luxurious brocade dress, and the jade decoration on her waist was also used by the nobles of the Wei State, so she must be the daughter of a noble family.

Seeing that his hair accessories and clothes seem to be unmarried, but he is pregnant and comes out secretly. It is a bit like a story in a book about a noble lady and a poor child who decide for life privately.

Also, under the peach tree, he once sensed a killing intent, but the killing intent disappeared quickly, making him unpredictable.
