He also wanted to see how good Wei Yan's martial arts was.
The ability of literature to stabilize the country and the ability of force to rule the country are the qualities that Confucians should have.
Even if Fu Nian's bid for time fails, he still has other options.
In order to implement this method, he had lost eight games to Xunzi in a row.
"Wei Yan, what do you think?" Wan Zhang looked at Tian Yan with a smile.
Let's take another look. If possible, there is no need to bother the master who has been dead for many years.
"I have my wish, but I dare not invite you." Tian Yan said calmly.
…
Confucianism has a special sword dojo for disciples to practice swordsmanship.
Fu Nian and Tian Yan stood opposite each other on the field, while Xunzi and Wan Zhang, two old men, and his two junior brothers Yan Lu, and Zhang Liang stood aside to serve.
Each of them holds a wooden sword.
"Junior brother Wei Yan, do you know anything about my Confucian swordsmanship?" Fu Nian, wearing a green Confucian uniform, smiled at Tian Yan.
"Almost nothing." Tian Yan replied calmly.
She remembered that it was mentioned in the original work, but it had been so many years, who could still remember it?
She only briefly glanced at Luo Wang's information.
What's more, there's no need to be too perfect, as being too perfect will cause flaws.
"Junior Brother Wei Yan is so talented, but he didn't know about it?" Fu Nian was a little surprised.
This scene is very similar to a teacher asking a student a question, and the student confidently tells the teacher: He doesn't know.
Moreover, he felt that Tian Yan must have been prepared for what he said, or else he knew Confucianism very well.
I didn't expect to get an answer like "I don't know anything."
“Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, this is knowing.
Tian Yan is stupid, so please ask senior brother to teach you." Tian Yan held a wooden sword in his hand, gracefully held it in a sword flower, and saluted Fu Nian.
Fu Nian was speechless by what he said, and he swallowed all the rest he had prepared.
He looked at the "beautiful boy" with a slender figure and handsome face in front of him, and for some reason, he saw a hint of feminine charm.
As soon as this idea appeared, Fu Nian himself was startled.
Do I have a problem?
After a long while, Fu Nian prepared to start the lecture.
"The art of fencing is an important cultivation among the six arts of Confucianism. Confucian swordsmanship is aboveboard and aboveboard. The sword is like the person, practicing the sword is like practicing the body, and practicing the sword is like cultivating the mind.
If your heart is righteous, you can cultivate yourself and your family, and then you can govern the country and bring peace to the world." Fu Nian returned the bow and said slowly as well.
"Junior brother has learned a lesson." Tian Yan said with a smile.
"My Confucian sword technique has three key points: "faith", "elegance" and "da". "Faith" means that the sword is accurate and impartial.
"Elegance" means to be calm and relaxed, not to be extremely evil.
"Da" means that the sword strikes at will, as fast as lightning, leaving no room for maneuver for the opponent." Fu Nian continued.
"Junior brother, I have been taught. It is easy to memorize these three, but if you really want to do it, you still need to practice and comprehend over time." Tian Yan bowed and then sighed.
This was not because she was flattering Fu Nian, but because she was truly emotional.
When she saw it in the anime in her previous life, she didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she has been practicing swordsmanship for more than ten years, she naturally has some insights. Now that she is listening to it, she can't help but resonate with it.
The Confucian explanation of the art of fencing may seem a bit ridiculous, and some places even contradict it according to the literal meaning, but if you understand it carefully, it does have merit.
Study carefully.
"Of course." Fu Nian said with a smile on his face.
This can draw inferences from one instance.
Children can be taught.
Is this my new junior brother?
Smart, talented, eager to learn, and so cute.
“Reading thousands of volumes, writing is like a spirit.
The same goes for the other six Confucian arts, I guess." Tian Yan sighed once again.
I can't help it, and I don't want to be so talented and smart, and speak well, but with a history of five thousand years, there are too many eternal gods like Zhang Zai.
This matter does not interest this kind of poetry, which does not prevent Tian Yan from speaking out about it and making others think that she is particularly talented.
When Fu Nian heard this, his eyes lit up again.
Xunzi and Wanzhang were already used to it.
"Junior brother, I have so many good words of wisdom. I have received them many times in this day." Fu Nian said with emotion when he heard this.
Looking at Wei Yan's "classmate" who was much younger than him, he felt a sense of frustration in his talent for the first time.
Because of his extraordinary talent, he has always been a very proud person.
"Zifang." Wan Zhang called with a smile and satisfaction on his face, stroking his beard.
"Disciple is here." Zhang Liang replied, cupping his hands towards Wan Zhangyi.
"Thank you for copying a few more sentences, and hang this sentence together with the previous one.
Please encourage all the disciples." Wan Zhang said calmly.
"Disciple, take the order." Zhang Liang said.
"Junior brother Wei Yan doesn't seem to have a famous sword of his own." Fu Nian looked at Tian Yan and said.
Fu Nian made a bold decision.
He decided to give his "Tai'a" to Tian Yan as a meeting gift.
His master had met Tian Yan before.
And he was very angry about it.
Why?
I think that at that time, his master already knew that Tian Yan was going to apprentice with Uncle Xun, and the same was true for the lesson he gave them later.
But he hopes Tian Yan will choose Wan Zhang as his teacher.
His ideas coincided with those of his teacher Wan Zhang.
Because maybe this talented young junior apprentice became a disciple of Xunzi and was another great Legalist who graduated from Xiaoshengxian Village.
Because in the world of Mingyue in the Qin Dynasty, as one of the scholars of the world, Xunzi, a great Confucian sage, had a 100% chance of becoming a disciple of the Legalists.
There is no exception.
Xiaoshengxian Village is in short supply of talents. Confucianism lacks peerless geniuses like Tian Yan who can serve as the backbone of the school. It cannot withstand the calamity of Uncle Xun.
But Tai'a is enough to become a favor.
A favor that allowed Junior Brother Wei Yan to influence his decision when choosing a teacher.
"Yes." Tian Yan wanted to tell Fu Nian that she had it, and more than one, but she still didn't have it.
"Senior brother's sword is called "Tai'a". It was forged by two great swordsmiths, Qian Jiang and Ou Yezi. The sword's energy is made in heaven. Before the sword is completed, the sword's energy already exists between heaven and earth.
This sword ranks third in the sword manual and was once the national treasure of the Chu State.
Legend has it that the King of Chu sacrificed his blood to this sword, and the sword's energy destroyed hundreds of thousands of Jin's troops in one fell swoop.
Today you and I are discussing the Tao with swords. Senior brother and junior brother meet for the first time. Even before I give junior brother any greeting gift, he has already been pointed out many times by junior brother. This "Tai'a" should be used as senior brother's greeting gift to junior brother!" Fu!
Nian held the wooden sword and said calmly.
There was no trace of reluctance in his face.
As for the Tai'a sword energy that wiped out hundreds of thousands of Jin's troops, he didn't believe it, but that was a legend accompanying the sword, and it wouldn't hurt to tell it now.
