Chapter 494

He Mu glanced at Mengqi and said sullenly, "Mr. Su, don't you think I'm sad enough? Besides, you won't understand even if you watch it. "

As he spoke, he stretched his right hand out from behind and picked up the wooden sword on the ground. He frowned slightly because he couldn't understand why he always lost to the Fifth Brother today. He was so upset that he couldn't get rid of it.

"For the first time, I used 'Sails in the Vast Sea', and the Fifth Brother dealt with 'Lonely Sail Far Shadow'. When I changed my movement to 'Azure Sea and Azure Sky', he used 'Bright Moon on the Sea' and hit the back of my hand. He didn't use to change his movement so brilliantly before …" He Mu said to himself while waving his sword and describing today's competition.

He didn't care about Mengqi's opinion. He just wanted to express his anger and review the battle to find out the problem so that he could win tomorrow and not let the Club Principal Master down.

Mengqi rolled the "Asking Heaven" into a cylinder and gently tapped it on his palm. When He Mu finished practicing, he laughed and said, "I heard that the 'Martial Club Competition' is coming. It's normal for your Fifth Brother to find a master to guide him. You can't always look at him with the old eyes."

"Yes!" He Mu suddenly understood and said, "The Fifth Brother's father is a businessman and quite rich. He must have asked a master to guide him!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked depressed. His parents worked hard every day, but they could only support him to practice martial arts in the Martial Club. They had no money left, so how could they ask a master to guide them? Moreover, if the Club Principal He hadn't limited his cultivation, he wouldn't have had this opportunity!

Therefore, he was very grateful to the Club Principal He. He didn't want him to be disappointed, and he also wanted to make a name for himself so that his parents wouldn't always be so tired.

This Martial Club Competition was a chance, but he couldn't see any hope!

With a teasing smile, Mengqi said, "You can ask me for advice. I'm a master, a real master!"

He Mu raised his head and glanced at Mengqi listlessly. He saw that Mengqi was dressed in a loose robe and looked gentle and scholarly. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Su, don't make fun of me."

Usually, Mr. Su rarely went out. He was one of the few scholars who could be impetuous. He did things neither too fast nor too slow. Although he was idle, he was unusually hardworking. If there was a problem in writing that Mr. Su asked for advice, he was always humble. He had a bright smile and was easy-going and interesting. Moreover, he loved delicious food and often walked through the streets. His lifestyle always reminded me of the poem, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountain".

But what he encountered was not a problem in knowledge, but in martial arts. Looking at Mr. Su's age, even if the Confucian sect had six arts, he was at most a beginner.

"You can try 'Sails in the Vast Sea' followed by 'Bright Moon on the Sea'," Meng Qi said with a smile.

He Mu felt even more helpless. "Mr. Su, how can I answer it?"

He was indeed a nerd with no foundation in Kung Fu. "Sails in the Vast Sea" was a move that generated the shadow of the sails while swinging horizontally. But "Sea. at Sea" was a move from high to low. How could he take it?

"Why not? When you swing horizontally, the last sail can be bigger and cover the sky. Then the moon breaks the shadow of the sails and shines into the sea. "Mengqi described the combination of the two moves in a literary way.

"Bigger and higher … cover the sky … moon breaks the shadow of the sails …" He Mu didn't read much, so it was difficult for him to understand. But Mengqi's description was very vivid, so he finally grasped the key point. He waved his wooden sword and thousands of sails competed with each other. The shadow of the sails grew bigger and bigger and gradually covered the sky. Then the moon rose in the middle of the sky.

"This, this can really be taken … but, but how can 'Sails in the Vast Sea' be changed like this? Master He will hit your palms … "Club Principal He required his disciples to make every move according to the standard, so He Mu couldn't accept it.

Mengqi smiled and said, "Why not? From a story point of view, this is completely reasonable. "

"Story?" He Mu stared at Mengqi, stunned. What did swordsmanship have to do with stories?

Mengqi looked around. Seeing no one else, he smiled mischievously and said, "In my opinion, swordsmanship and stories are essentially the same. You see, 'Sails in the Vast Sea' is a story about the boundless sea and the shadow of the sails. If the shadow of the sails grows bigger and bigger, it can naturally connect to the sky and the moon. You don't have to stick to the original structure of the story."

"How, how can it be the same?" He Mu had never heard of this theory and couldn't accept it.

Mengqi put his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile, "When you compete with others with swordsmanship, most of the time you are telling a story to your opponent. There is a beginning, a process, a change, a trap, a turning point, a climax, and an ending! "

"There are two kinds of people who use swordsmanship to tell a story. One kind tries to prevent the opponent from guessing the subsequent plot, because from the perspective of the story, it will lose its attraction. From the perspective of a swordsmanship competition, it means a failure. The other kind deliberately tells a story that is close to the truth so that the opponent will completely believe it. Then, they will make a reversal at the key point to shock everyone and end with a climax. This is deception and a trap. It is an important skill of storytelling and also an important idea of swordsmanship."

"Well, actually there is another kind of person who doesn't set a trap. Everyone can guess the subsequent plot, but the opponent can only follow his swordsmanship and can't jump out of it or get rid of it. This is the Sublime Realm of swordsmanship."

Looking at He Mu's blank and surprised expression, Mengqi said, "So, I think the skill of storytelling can be used in swordsmanship competition."

"Mr. Su, don't let your imagination run wild …" He Mu came to himself and said weakly.

Mengqi said with a smile, "What's the harm in trying? Tomorrow, I'll tell your Fifth Brother a story of a thousand sails in the vast sea and a bright moon on the sea. It's a story that is different from the normal development and a story that people can't guess the subsequent changes. "

After saying that, he left He Mu and walked back to his own yard.

He Mu stood there in a daze. After a long time, he waved his wooden sword. It was a story of a thousand sails racing, the shadows of sails covering the sky and the bright moon shining high.

Although he thought that Mr. Su's theory of swordsmanship stories was unreasonable, he still had some ability to judge the changes of moves after practicing swordsmanship for a few years.

The next day.

After practicing, He Mu walked out and cupped his hands to a young man in a black suit. "Fifth Brother, please continue to teach me today."

The Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters beside him laughed secretly. He Mu was really persistent. He had lost so many times yesterday, but he still dared to challenge today.

Club Principal He He Ye nodded slightly. He Mu's tenacity was commendable, but he had to remind him to be self-aware so that he wouldn't hurt himself in the future.

Fifth Brother pursed his lips and raised his wooden sword. "He Mu, if you lose again, don't bother me. I still have to learn from my Senior Brothers."

He Mu nodded slightly. After saluting, he waved his long sword horizontally.

Fifth Brother didn't hesitate to use the Lonely Sail Far Shadow. He stabbed his long sword from top to bottom and avoided the sails.

The "Lonely Sail" gradually became smaller and almost disappeared between the sea and the sky. Then it fell on He Mu's lower abdomen.

He Mu's sails became bigger and bigger and quickly covered the sky and the sun.

When he swung to a high place, he chopped down with his long sword. The moon broke the shadows of the sails and hit his shoulder before Fifth Brother hit his lower abdomen.

Clap! Fifth Brother felt a pain in his shoulder. His wooden sword fell in front of He Mu.

"You, how can you use the Sails in the Vast Sea like this?" Fifth Brother pointed at He Mu and said with indignation and disbelief.

Qu Tianhe opened her eyes wide. How could Fifth Brother, who had beaten Senior Brother He to tears yesterday, lose in one move?

The surrounding disciples of the Martial Arts Club had different expressions. Some were surprised, some were confused, some were happy, and some were frowning. How could Fifth Brother lose so quickly? How could he use the Sails in the Vast Sea like this?

"I won, I won, I really won …" He Mu didn't respond to Fifth Brother's accusation. His mind was full of such thoughts. As expected, Fifth Brother heard a different story. He couldn't guess the development of the story and it was hard for him to deal with it … What Mr. Su said seemed to make sense …

"He Mu, did you think of it yourself?" Club Principal He asked with no joy.

He Mu was going to answer honestly, but he subconsciously changed his words. "Club Principal, I thought of it by chance."

"It's good to use the sword art flexibly. But you're still at the basic stage. It's more important to master the sword art." He Mu told him impartially. He walked aside with his hands clasped behind his back. He said to himself in a low voice, "The Sails in the Vast Sea can be used to catch the moon on the sea …"

Fifth Brother thought about the process and said unwillingly, "He Mu, let's compete again!"

He Mu's heart skipped a beat and he felt uneasy. He only had this story. If they competed again, everyone would know the development and ending of the story.

"Wait a minute! Everyone knows. Then I can change the development and ending of the story. They all think that I will catch the moon on the sea after the Sails in the Vast Sea. Then I can do the opposite and tell an unexpected story! "

"Well, how should I catch it …" He Mu imagined himself to be Mr. Su, who was not bound by the original rules of the moves. He quickly thought about it and answered expectantly, "Okay, Fifth Brother, please enlighten me."

This time, Fifth Brother made the first move. After two or three moves, He Mu found an opportunity to use the Sails in the Vast Sea.

Fifth Brother sneered in his heart. Instead of using the Lonely Sail Far Shadow, he directly used the Blue Sea and Blue Sky. The shadow of the sword covered the moon.

The long sword floated up and down to develop the shadow of the sail. When it was high, it covered the sky and could catch the moon on the sea. When it was low, the shadow of the sail was close to nothing.

Therefore, when the shadow of the sail was close to nothing, He Mu changed his move. From bottom to top, he used the Rising Tide on the Lonely Peak!

"Clap."

Fifth Brother covered his chest and abdomen. The wooden sword fell out of his hand again. Breathless, he said, "You, you, how can you do this!"

He Mu was extremely happy. He tried to hold back his laughter. "Fifth Brother, thank you."

He could also tell stories!

After that, Fifth Brother did not pester He Mu anymore. He was afraid that he would lose face if he lost again. He Mu concentrated on the competition. His mind was full of stories. He won and lost several times.

"He Mu, I plan to let you participate in the Martial Club Competition after the Spring Festival." Club Principal He had been watching silently. Seeing that He Mu seemed to have a lot of ideas overnight, he planned to let him occupy one of the six places in the Green Peak Martial Club. Then, he could compete with real masters of the same age to sharpen his mind and sharpen his swordsmanship.

As for the results, he did not put his hope on He Mu. Only the top three disciples could bear this responsibility. The other three mainly wanted to sharpen their skills.

He Mu was surprised, happy, and nervous at the same time. "Me? Club Principal, can I, can I do it? "

"You'll know after you try." Club Principal He smiled.

Once he participated in the Martial Club Competition, he could easily be chosen by sects or aristocratic families. At least, he could find a job as a guard … He Mu left the Martial Club with expectations and worries. He did not know how he walked to the door of Mengqi.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Su's' Swordsmanship Story 'is not unreasonable … Is, is he really a master?" He Mu still did not believe it. He thought it was just a coincidence. Well, Mr. Su did not practice martial arts much and was less restricted by various rules of swordsmanship. That was why he could jump out of his original "house" and make his ideas more flexible. "Maybe I can talk with him more. Storytelling and swordsmanship really have something in common … His swordsmanship is not good, but he is good at storytelling!"

After knocking on the door, He Mu heard a lazy voice saying, "Come in." He pushed the door and saw Mr. Su sitting under the plum tree in a cloak. He warmed the wine with a small fire in the red stove and read softly with a book in his hand.

"… At the beginning of the ancient times, who taught Taoism?"

"Up and down have not been formed. How to test it?"

…

He Mu could not help holding his breath when he saw such a scene. Then, he saw Mr. Su pointing at the seat next to him. He walked over lightly and sat down quietly.

"The combination of Yin and Yang, which is Yin and which is Yang?"

After reading this sentence, Mengqi looked at He Mu and asked, "Do you know what it means?"
