Wandao long distance

Chapter 257 Martial Arts
Li Qi had been chatting with Brother Guo for half an hour, recording all the details over and over, before Cooking Sea Pot reluctantly let Li Qi leave.

Before leaving, he kept repeating: "Brother Li, from now on, you will treat me as your elder brother. In this Taixue, I will protect you!"

"Come to my place for dinner in the future! You won't be charged any money, and if you go out and cause trouble, just call me Brother Ni."

"Good brother, remember to come here often! Eat more!"

After saying these words, he reluctantly sent Li Qi away.

Li Qi left the operating room and returned to the gourmet world outside alone.

Outside, Liu Shenzhi, whose face was livid and stiff, and who vomited in a mess, was barely tidied up, and was waiting for Li Qi.

"Li...Brother Li." He was very loyal, even though he was almost unsteady standing now, he didn't run away.

Seeing this, Li Qi felt a little embarrassed, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and it made Brother Liu suffer."

Liu Shenzhi shook his head helplessly, knowing that no one could be blamed, he could only sigh: "Forget it, there is nothing you can do about this kind of thing, by the way, Brother Li, do you really think that food is delicious?"

"Yes, I think it's okay." Li Qi nodded.

"...Are you a human race? You're not like Lord Plague, are you?" Liu Shen sized Li Qi up and down, with a delicate expression on his face.

"It should be, right?" Li Qi didn't know how to explain it, after all, he himself didn't know what was going on.

"Okay... Anyway, you are also a special recruit, so you should have something, let's go, brother Li, let's go and look at other places." Liu Shenzhi shook his head without asking.

On the contrary, Li Qi was a little surprised by his reaction: "Brother Liu, don't you want to ask carefully?"

"What are you asking for? You and I are classmates, not brothers. Don't you know my background? Everyone came to Taixue to study, not to check the household registration. I only know that your magic weapon helped me. I'm very busy, is there anything else I need to know?" Liu Shenzhi spread his hands with an expression of indifference.

When they came to Taixue, everyone was at the eighth rank, and they could be regarded as prestigious figures in the outside world, so they were not without a little brain.

Why ask questions?What, law enforcement?
You also need to hold a license to enforce the law. It's just a classmate. It's not necessary.

"That's right, so let's go and see other places in Taixue." Li Qi nodded in relief.

"Okay, I've seen the cafeteria. Next, let's go to the classrooms. Let's go to the classrooms of the compulsory courses first. Let me take a look. The first class of the compulsory courses...first aid class, let's go! Let's go!"

Liu Shenzhi regained his interest and walked forward.

After walking two steps, he suddenly flicked his feet and bent over immediately.

"Wow!!"

Well, the sequelae are still there.

Not to mention Liu Shenzhi's physical condition, next, Li Qi visited the entire Taixue.

There are four compulsory courses in Taixue, First Aid, Defense, History, and General Studies.

Everyone must learn these four courses, and the other courses vary from person to person. You can choose according to your own path, but you must choose at least eight courses, and there is no upper limit for as many as you can.

Each classroom is a separate small world, or a cave, where all kinds of suitable equipment are placed, or the original animals, plants and environment are already very suitable for teaching.

For some students with specific heels, there are special teachings.

The teaching is also very scientific, formal and rigorous.

There is absolutely no such stupid operation of throwing students out to die and let them grow themselves.

People can learn things that they have never experienced by learning. To learn to avoid traps, you don’t need to step on it yourself. You don’t need to jump off the cliff to learn if you know that jumping off the cliff will kill you.

If you can't learn, you can only learn by suffering. That is a mediocre person without a brain.

Too learned not to accept that kind of idiot.

The practice of throwing students into virgin forests or other dangerous places so that they can survive and fight out, or extreme training to force students to break through themselves, is invisible to Taixue.

The teachers will accurately measure your limit, and then use rigorous and regular methods to help you test it a little bit, and will never let you desperately break through with brute force.

Everything is so precise.

Even martial arts are like this. During the visit, Li Qi also saw some warriors practicing swords.

It's not through some understanding of swords, or killing people, comprehending nature and other metaphysics to practice swords, but learning formulas...

A bunch of muscular rough guys are learning the formula...

A theory teacher seems to be working overtime to explain to them what is called 'how a rectangular geometry with a fixed length can move in the shortest time in a complex space' and 'quick mental calculation method of torque'.

In this regard, Liu Shenzhi said: "Isn't it just like having a teacher to help you learn? Don't you have to accumulate experience to practice swords by yourself? Now just calculate the results directly, and then use muscle memory to get familiar with it. Why? Still have to practice swords to death? Isn’t that a fool?”

Although Li Qi felt that it was a bit uncommon sense, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to say that it made a lot of sense.

Under the guidance of Li Dao, this kind of thing can be done.

To control the sword, you don't need to slowly accumulate experience in actual combat, you can directly tell them the method and results in one step, and then use muscle memory to remember.

This effect is even more useful than those veteran swordsmen who have experienced many battles.

Because the experience of the old swordsman may be wrong, but the calculation result is absolutely impossible to be wrong.

Past experience will lie to you, but mathematics will not.

It's quite practical.

In addition, there is a set of complete and feasible methods including physical training, calorie calculation, fighting methods, and even more mysterious "killing intent" and "sword intent".

However, Li Qi basically only visited the Martial Dao, and did not see other paths.

Because there are no holidays in martial arts, they also practice at school during the holidays, pure cattle and horses.

Because as long as you don't practice for a day, you can directly open up the perceived gap with other students.

How much and how hard you work every day will be faithfully reflected in your body parameters, and the teacher can tell at a glance whether you were lazy yesterday or not.

People who practice martial arts have to be like a day for a hundred years, and they must practice boxing until it is as natural as breathing.

Martial arts, the first priority is merit, and the second is perseverance.

There is no need to worry about food, the school is full, and you can eat whatever you need.

Perseverance can only be relied on by oneself, even if it is a holiday now, and everyone else is going home to have fun, these oxen and horses still have to stay here and exercise non-stop.

Li Qi was a little lucky.

Fortunately, I abolished my martial arts cultivation at the beginning.

Good luck.

However, he also developed some interest.

Interest in the warriors of the Tang Dynasty.

So, after visiting the exercise, he looked at some warriors who were training not far away, left Liu Shenzhi's side, stepped forward, and said to one of the sitting ones: "Hello, classmate, I'm a freshman. Excuse me, are you free now?"

"If you're free, you're free. Why? Freshman? You're also a practitioner? Your body isn't good enough." The muscular man raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qi.

"No, I came to see the school in advance, I don't practice martial arts..." Li Qi said with a smile.

"No, I see that your qi and blood are strong, your internal organs are refined, and your breath is long. Obviously, you have practiced and your foundation is still good. Why, didn't you persevere?" The strong man raised his head, stared at Li Qi and said.

Li Qi looked a little embarrassed, and nodded: "I have practiced for a while before, so I can't talk about persistence."

The warrior nodded, indicating that he understood.

However, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Perhaps for these warriors, such a half-way person is probably a little funny.

But Li Qi didn't care, he just wanted to see what this kind of real genius warrior looks like, so he immediately continued to say: "Dare to ask brother, martial arts practice martial arts, exercise body and combat skills, do not violate Is your 'Tao'?"

This was something strange about Li Qi from the very beginning.

If martial arts is to exercise oneself, isn't it a bit strange to learn mathematical formulas?Is this really in line with their Tao?

Hearing this, the martial artist who was resting knew Li Qi's purpose.

This one should be a young scholar, right?

He put away his previous contempt. Before, he changed his path because he couldn't persevere. Now it seems that he may just try martial arts and use it for research experience.

He looked down on those who gave up halfway, but he was very welcome to others who just wanted to experience martial arts.

Li Qi saw a smile on the other party's expression.

Then, he said: "Student, if you have this doubt, let me ask you, what is martial arts?"

Li Qi thought for a while, and said: "Wu's words, Wu follows Ge, Cong Zhi, Zhi Ge is Wu, Ge is a weapon, the ancient meaning Zhi is toe, refers to the pace, that is, the pace and rhythm of using weapons, refers to the rhythm of martial arts. Art, and later developed into the meaning of attack, military affairs, and might."

"Using martial arts as the name of the Tao means that it has something to do with these meanings. If I understand correctly, it has the meaning of martial arts and majesty. What Wu Dao pursues is the ultimate skill and the courage to go forward. Bar."

Li Qi expressed his guess about martial arts according to his own understanding.

The warrior laughed after hearing this, and then said: "Scholar, in your opinion, is martial arts such a superficial thing?"

Hearing this, Li Qi immediately cupped his hands: "I would like to hear the details."

For things you don't understand, you should ask others honestly, and don't guess without authorization.

"The ancient meaning is the toe, which is correct, but it does not refer to the pace of using the weapon, but the forward movement." The warrior said with his head raised.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qi immediately understood, and at the same time secretly startled.

Refers to moving forward, that is to say...

"Ge is a weapon, and toe is to advance. In other words, the original intention of martial arts is to advance with a weapon, which is to 'conquer'! In the barbaric era in the past, the human race declined and was oppressed by various gods. There were witches to mediate among those friendly gods In between, there are also warriors who go to fight against those evil gods, and martial arts are born from this!"

"The way of martial arts refers to the conquest itself! The other so-called martial arts skills, the so-called skills, courage, and even artistic conception are all for this goal! They are all tools for conquest!"

"Warriors, exercise your body, practice your skills, and temper your will. It's not for these things themselves, but to use these things to fight! To conquer! The ancestors of warriors on the wild land in the past went to conquer the gods, and we are now conquering the gods. Heavens! This is the true meaning of martial arts!"

"So, scholars, your understanding is too shallow. Exercise is not an end, but a means."

Li Qi understood: "Thank you for the explanation, but I still have a question. If I dare to ask my classmates, then what is the difference between you and the soldiers?"

The martial artist seemed to have expected this question a long time ago, and replied: "What's the gap? The gap is naturally large. Military art is humane, but martial art is not humane."

This answer was somewhat beyond Li Qi's expectation.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Military strategists are humanitarian soldiers, a branch of humanity.

Martial Dao, on the other hand, is a way of its own, obviously, it is a way with its own program and ideas, not a branch of a certain way.

"The military strategist is humane, so you scholars should be able to clearly see the strategy of the military strategist. Gathering the strength of everyone to form a military force, you can tell it is a humane method at a glance."

"But martial art is not like this. Humanity gathers the power of everyone, but comrades-in-arms cannot follow you all the time, and the collective is not trustworthy. On the journey, only your own skills, your own weapons, and even more extreme, only Your own fists and body are the most trustworthy." The warrior raised his head and said, "The only one who can 'absolutely trust' is himself."

Li Qi frowned.

This doesn't sound like something a Tang country warrior would say.

Obviously, the other party's understanding of martial arts is different from that of Tang people.

It's normal, if everyone understands the same, how can there be disputes?
Therefore, Li Qi asked tentatively: "Your Excellency is not from the Tang Dynasty?"

The warrior nodded: "Tang country martial art has long been integrated with military formations, and most warriors join the army. Naturally, it cannot be from Tang country that I think so."

Then, he said, "I'm a demon, I live in the southeast, and I came to study in Tang country."

Li Qi was surprised, the other party was also an overseas student?

The southeast of the world is located, an archipelago mixed between the extreme southern mountains and the East China Sea.

Where the archipelago is located, the weather is hot, it is close to the sea and it is rainy, the primeval forest is lush, and the monsters are rampant in the jungle lakes.

Li Qi understood and nodded: "I see, I understand."

"Scholar, what else is there? If there is nothing else, I have almost rested, and it is time to continue practicing." The warrior got up and moved his body.

At this time, Li Qicai saw the monster features on the opponent.

Behind him, there is a tiger's tail, just sitting and being blocked.

"It's nothing, but, I still have an unfeeling request. I have never fought against a martial artist, but I heard that martial arts are the best at confrontation among all the Dao, so... I want to try." Li Qi finally said, cupping his hands .

The warrior raised his eyebrows and scanned Li Qi's whole body.

"Want to be beaten? Why don't you tell me earlier, it's just for exercise, there is an open space, try it?" The warrior pointed to the open space not far away.

Li Qi cupped his hands: "Please give me some pointers."

After speaking, the two walked towards the open space over there.

As for Liu Shenzhi, he was still hanging around.
