Martial Arts: My Proficiency Panel

Epilogue·The World Afterwards

In 2323 AD, Frost's Descent.

With the recent news that an archaeological team successfully opened the tomb of Emperor Shenwu spread, a program called National Treasure Talking has also begun to enter the people's attention.

The mode of this program is actually not new. It consists of a host, several guests and related experts. It was not worth seeing at first, but because this episode is about the legend of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, there are many people from this period. History buffs turned on their electronic devices to watch.

"According to the latest news from the daily, the archaeological team finally opened the organs outside the tomb of Emperor Shenwu of the Song Dynasty this year without damaging the tomb. After thousands of years of tomb, it is hard to imagine that most of the organs can be used. We unearthed many extremely precious It is hard to imagine how many cultural relics there will be in the center of this mausoleum.”

"As we all know, China has already entered the age of steam during the Song Dynasty. The various institutions and facilities stored in ancient buildings such as the God of War Shrine and Fenghou Temple are enough to reflect the ancestors' understanding of mechanics, optics, and architecture at that time. The application has been researched to the extreme, and after that, it has entered the steam age that lasted for more than two hundred years."

The host's voice was full of excitement and emotion: "The most shocking thing is that the corpses excavated from the tombs in the early Song Dynasty were immortal for thousands of years. According to expert research, during the Song Dynasty, our ancestors They should have mastered a kind of energy that has disappeared on the earth. It is precisely because of the existence of this energy that the physical fitness of the ancestors is extremely strong, enough to tear tigers and leopards alive, and open mountains and rocks. Unfortunately, this energy was in the AD In 1893, it began to gradually disappear, and the Great Song Dynasty also began to turn from prosperity to decline, and there has never been a similar existence since then, but even so, Emperor Shenwu has created a glorious era."

"The most incomprehensible thing to me is how to make firearms that can fire continuously with the technology at that time." It can fire more than a dozen bursts, and the range is extremely far. It can be said to be the best in the world. It even built a super-large-caliber heavy artillery, which can blast through walls several feet thick. The Great Song Dynasty has several times in Afghanistan and Europe. All countries fought, Zhao Feihu, the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, even created a miracle of defeating 100,000 Roman soldiers with 5,000 soldiers by using muskets and heavy artillery."

"First of all, I would like to explain that the research on mechanics in the Song Dynasty was quite in-depth at that time, and there were already prototypes of machine tools. Judging from the muskets unearthed so far, the mechanical technology of the Song Dynasty advanced by leaps and bounds from the period of the Liao Dynasty. At the beginning, the Emperor Shenwu at that time could be said to have subverted the social structure of that era, allowing the society of the Song Dynasty to return to the parallel pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period from the classification of scholars, farmers, and industries. The civilization of the Song Dynasty developed rapidly. This person can be said to be a figure who moved the times. The manufacturing technology of the Song Dynasty has also entered a stage of rapid development since his appearance. What is even more amazing is that it is counted from the first year of Shenwu, which is 1067 AD. Until the twenty-eighth year of Chuanyin, which is 1204 AD, this person has been active in the court of the Song Dynasty, and has a pivotal position."

"One hundred and thirty-seven years!" The guest gasped, "Then how long did he live?"

"According to the records of the Song Dynasty..." The expert pondered for a while and said, "Zhao Ning is from the era of Song Yingzong. He married the eldest princess Zhao Chaoci, and put down the rebellion of the four thieves..."

"Mr. Zhang, wait!" A female guest interrupted: "As far as I know, according to historical records, before he ascended the throne, he was conferred the title of Shenwu King because he destroyed the Liao Kingdom and recaptured the Peking Palace. His wife launched a coup together with the aristocratic family at that time, and he was dressed in a yellow robe like Song Taizu. At that time, his age was 30 years old. If you calculate it this way, wouldn’t he live to be over 160 years old?"

"There is indeed such a record in the history books that even when he enshrined Zen on Mount Tai, a real dragon and auspicious beast appeared, but this cannot be verified. Because after the revolution, there has been a huge gap in the inheritance of martial arts, and no one The longest-lived person in the world is at most 129 years old if he can practice the state of mobilizing the power of heaven and earth recorded in ancient books.

However, I am more concerned about his achievements in protecting the classics than the question of how many years he lived.

Originally, the Great Song Dynasty paid attention to literature, and did not pay attention to those so-called strange skills. After Zhao Ning searched for craftsmen from all over the world and wrote thirty-six volumes of natural objects, the manufacturing industry in the Great Song Dynasty gradually rose. But according to my opinion, of course , This is just my family's opinion. The manufacturing industry at this time is already different from the Mohism in ancient times. "

"What's the difference? Aren't they all made by research institutions?" the guest asked blankly.

"The Mohism founded by Mo Zhai, mechanism art is only a side branch, its core idea is both love and non-aggression, and it has a lot of ideas to educate the world and turn small love into big love." The expert shook his head and said: "But Zhao Ning is different, look at his life , not only has extraordinary attainments in mathematics, civil engineering, and practical physics, although he is not a complete scientist, many of the theories he put forward are very advanced, including the theory of time and space."

"Wow, it seems that the thinking of the ancients should not be underestimated. The vernier caliper in Wang Mang's tomb is enough to surprise people."

The expert smiled, and said: "In addition to his status as a scientist, he also has excellent commanding skills."

"Commander?" The guest looked at the expert suspiciously and said, "I know the commanders of the Song Dynasty, such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and generals of the Yang family. If we talk about commanders, can Emperor Shenwu compare with them?"

"Of course, according to the Song Dynasty Guoshu and the later compiled historical records and other classics of that period, Zhao Ning has a very interesting title, called Unbeaten Shenwu!" The expert smiled.

"This...isn't he bragging, right?" The guest joked, because there is no chronology, that period of history has been talked about all the time. The more famous ones include the most popular military force in the army, and the Tai Chi master in the world. Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhao Ning, have always acted as the emperor of Shenwu. Many novels define him as an emperor with a little force, and of course there are spoofs about him saying that he is a tyrant.

"The Song Dynasty Guoshu has never been written like this. This title of invincible martial arts was given to Zhao Ning by the rulers of other continents." The expert shook his head and said: "Actually, if you have read the Song Dynasty Guoshu Volume 72 It is not difficult for friends to find that Zhao Ning has a very high military talent. After the Battle of Liao, he put down the four kings of thieves with 20,000 troops in less than two years. After that, he participated in the Battle of Mongolia and Song Dynasty. Later, during the Pingyuan War, they also captured the capital of Mongolia. After that, they subdued the Huns in Hetao and completely wiped out the Tuoba tribe Xianbei, which was already full-fledged at that time. Wan, Wusun was beaten and fled to the north. Everyone is familiar with the story of Zhao Feihu breaking 5,000 and breaking 100,000, but they don’t know that he had the opportunity to fight this battle because his father Zhao Ning pacified the West Asia region and personally supervised the construction of three The railway provided sufficient supplies from the prairie to the battlefield, which enabled Zhao Feihu to personally lead an army of thousands of guns at the age of eighty to defeat a hundred thousand Roman troops in one battle. No one dared to take the lead. During the Northern Expedition, he also wiped out the 50,000 troops of Catherine the Great of the Ross Empire in one fell swoop, and the war continued to the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean."

"Teacher, wait!" The host on the side suddenly asked in surprise: "Zhao Ning is Zhao Feihu's father?"

"That's right, this is not only recorded in the Song Dynasty, but I remember it was also introduced in the Romance of the Mountains and Seas, that is, in the section where the first emperor sent troops to pacify the outside of the pass, Zhao Feihu led the army to defeat Rome after the first emperor pacified the outside of the pass." The expert said with a glance at the two.

The host was a little embarrassed. There was only such a passage in the Romance of Mountains and Seas, which is as famous as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Who can remember it.

This Romance of the Mountains and Seas is about the beginning of Emperor Shenwu, the Great Song Dynasty from the present China, from the north to the edge of the Arctic Ocean, from the west to Europe, from the east to the Americas, from the south to Australia, and in the last chapter After the unification of Kyushu, the nine tripods were cast and the story of being named emperor.

This book is adapted from history, the story is magnificent and magnificent, and it is already a well-known masterpiece.

"So, Zhao Ning is stronger than Emperor Feihu?" The guest asked in surprise. You must know that in the current popular war games, Zhao Feihu is a well-deserved red general. Only Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms period and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu It is almost universally recognized that waiting for someone else to reach this level, is his father so emotional?

It seems that I still read less books.

"It's hard to compare. Both father and son are heroes who have never been defeated in their lives, and it is impossible for them to fight against each other." The expert shook his head: "However, Zhao Feihu can be as powerful as in history, which is different from Zhao Ning's training. It doesn't matter."

"How do you say that?" the guest couldn't help asking.

"Zhao Ning is not only an outstanding ancient scientist and military strategist, but also a great educator." The expert said with a smile: "According to the existing data, in order to fight against the scholar class, Zhao Ning vigorously established schools and supported poor families." , The capital university, national defense university and other famous universities in our country that are still there are all founded by Zhao Ning."

"Why is this matter related to the confrontation scholars?" the host asked with a smile.

It's not that he doesn't know, it's just for the effect of the program. There are always people who don't know this history and need them to popularize science.

"As I said before, the Song Dynasty at that time implemented the imperial examination system, and officials were selected through the examination of the Four Books and Five Classics. Looking at it now, this set of laws must be backward, and at that time the local tyrants were divided. Although Zhao Ning was with the help of these aristocratic families They have only just come to the throne, but these people are always hidden dangers of the centralized system."

The expert took a sip of water and said, "Zhao Ning's academy actually started after the Liao War, but because no one supported him, he just taught a disciple in the countryside, but after he pacified the land of China, Wei Jia Overseas, after deterring the Quartet, his prestige is enough to suppress everything. At this time, the opportunity came. In order to deter and balance those local wealthy families, Song Dynasty must have a new force to balance. At this time, Zhao Ning proposed to let the children of meritorious soldiers learn The opportunities for the children of the common people to go to school were enough to subvert everything. At that time, reading was not like what we do now. Reading was the right of scholars. At that time, for many people, being able to study was very important. Amazing, once this decree is issued, it is equivalent to pulling all the people to his side, and Zhao Ning also has his confidence, because at this time, the paper machine and printing machine of the Song Dynasty are already very advanced, and the combination of the two is perfect No way, the reason why the Song Dynasty is so powerful is because everyone can read, the quality of the army and the quality of the people will be improved, and it will be out of control in the future."

"You can read the history books of other countries. It is not difficult to find that the foreign armies at that time were terrified of the Song army! The Eastern Roman Emperor once said a word, when the army of Emperor Shenwu came, we were like fighting An egg was broken, and the egg white flowed out, leaving only the yolk.” The expert sighed at this point: “Zhao Ning is very forward-looking in education, and he himself can cultivate talents. Take a look. None of the generals under him are mediocre, from this point of view, Zhao Ning is very good at education."

The guest was a little puzzled and said, "Teacher, since Zhao Ning is so powerful, why is he not mentioned in the Romance of Mountains and Seas?"

"There are two reasons." The expert said with a smile: "First, the author is a Confucian scholar. There are many high-status researchers in the countries after Zhao Ning, just like scientists today, who like to study things. We in China can now have With such a large territory, the whole world speaks Chinese, which is inseparable from his contribution. But he is a Confucian scholar, so he definitely doesn’t like Zhao Ning. Although he dare not directly criticize him, but in the book Shanhai Romance, he can clearly feel that To the point where he wants to downplay Zhao Ning."

"What about the second reason?" The guest asked: "According to what the teacher said before, Zhao Ning participated in many battles."

"Not only many, but the surrender of Liao, Meng, Xixia and other countries is directly related to Zhao Ning." The expert laughed: "This has to say the characteristics of Zhao Ning's war."

"Invincible martial arts?" The guest asked curiously.

"It is undefeated, and Zhao Ning is also a famous general killer. The well-known big and small Zhebie and Tovsky all died in Zhao Ning's hands. In addition, many foreign famous generals were captured alive by him." The expert said.

"So powerful?" The guest's eyes widened in astonishment, and even the famous generals of the same era were harmed by Zhao Ning.

"It is very powerful, but it is difficult to convince his opponent." The expert laughed.

"These people are too narrow-minded, so the author of The Romance of Mountains and Seas couldn't bear to write about so many wonderful wars? It's too petty." The guest was a little dissatisfied.

"It's really no wonder for him." The expert shook his head and said, "Zhao Ning, who is known as the Emperor of Shenwu, is naturally extremely brave. His army is not only well-equipped, but also everyone is brave and has high military quality. But he doesn't like to bring many Soldiers go to war, and even go to the front of the battle to fight against generals, killing the opponents."

After taking a sip of water, the expert continued: "When we look at Romance of Mountains and Seas, the most exciting thing is the battle between the two armies. The two sides either have their own tricks, or compare the use of troops, but Zhao Ning is different. He usually only does two things in battle. The first thing is to persuade to surrender, and the second thing is to fight directly. He is definitely the most capable emperor in history. According to historical records, he has singled out thousands of times in his life, and he has never been defeated. Being able to fight generals is extremely legendary, and now we don’t believe that such a person exists. If it is written according to this history, the Romance of Mountains and Seas might as well be called Long Aotian.”

"Is this a legend?" the guest exclaimed.

"It's hard to say, but Zhao Ning attaches great importance to his own safety, but he is more confident in his own force, so he dares to fight for generals. Moreover, he commands the army, dares to delegate power, and dares to trust his subordinates enough. In fact, the marshal is What do you do? It’s not that you can be good at fighting, although he is really good at fighting...but you have to know who can do what, and you can delegate the power to professional people to do it. Will Zhao Ning know how to do it? Whether he is a peerless master in war is a mystery, and there are many disputes in the historical circles, but no one objects to the fact that he is an outstanding marshal."

"Teacher." The guest asked puzzledly: "I have a question that I don't quite understand. Since Zhao Ning was so powerful all his life, and lived so long and was often active in the government and the public, why didn't Song Wudi Zhao Feihu or his descendants imprison him?"

"That's a good question." The expert nodded, "First of all, our National Library has a book called Xinhua Martial Arts, which records a lot of martial arts, all-inclusive, and it is said that only the world's first-class martial arts can be included Among them, it is rumored that Emperor Shenwu has learned all the hundreds of martial arts in it, and fused them into a peerless martial art. Personally, I think his martial power is very high, otherwise it would not be so powerful. The second is that he His prestige is too high, as long as he is still alive, no one will dare to touch the Zhao family, and his descendants are afraid that it will be too late for him, so how dare they do anything to him?"

"Teacher, I have another question, that is, will the empress of the Zhao family be buried here?"

"It's possible. After all, they are husband and wife, and it is possible to bury them together after death. But with the personality of the empress, I am afraid that she will build a mausoleum for herself alone. It is useless to talk about it. With the progress of archaeological work, these mysteries will be solved. solve."

...

With the end of the program recording, the male and female guests also returned to the lounge to rest.

"Why, are you unhappy? It's rare to meet a reliable expert, and he is 70% to 80% right."

"No, Yaoyao." Ning Xiu turned his face away and seemed to sigh softly, "It's just too tired to pretend to be my grandson."

Now he is participating in this show as the thirty-seventh generation descendant of the Zhao family, so he is not pretending to be a grandson.

"Pfft, are you going to laugh me to death?"

After laughing, Li Jin'er saw Ning Xiu's helpless look, with an indescribable light in his eyes, slowly sat up, leaned forward, and kissed his soft side face lightly.

Ning Xiu raised his eyes to look at Li Jin'er, seemingly a little surprised.

"I'm sorry." Li Jiner's voice was extremely soft, and she didn't start to feel ashamed until after the kiss, but she didn't dare to look at Ning Xiu, "I...I don't want you to be unhappy, but I also... don't know how to make you happy. I When I was young, it was you who made me happy, gave me a candy, or played with me in the snow for a while, and built a snowman. But now... I can only kiss you."

"..."

Ning Xiu looked at Li Jin'er quietly, waiting for her to continue.

"I only know that when you are so intimate with me, I am happy in my heart, so I treat you the same way." Li Jin'er paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Ning Xiu's eyes, his eyes were unprecedentedly happy: " Don't be sad, be happy."

She looked at Ning Xiu, he had some exotic beauty from certain angles, it might be because his eyes were as charming as amber, his calm expression spoke of desolation and nobility, when he glanced back, the joyful look in his eyes always moved Li Jiner's heart Endless, just looking at it like this is enough.

There was silence in the air for a while, only the faint sound of rolling thunder coming from the distant sky, and the sound of heavy rain falling outside.

Since the loss of the vitality of heaven and earth, the effect of this phoenix blood has been greatly reduced. What Ning Xiu is unhappy about is that Yaoyao will die of old age in 40 to 50 years.

"As long as you are healthy, why should I be angry?" Ning Xiu smiled and raised his hand to pinch Li Jin'er's face, "Yaoyao, my happiness and anger are all related to you; when I was young, I was happy because the candy was for you Eat, the snowman is built with you, no one else will make me happy with a candy or a snowman except you. Although things are messy now, you just need to know that I am happy or sad Either way, it's all because these things are related to you. So no matter what, as long as you are healthy and safe, as far as I am concerned, there will be no major issues in the world."

"..."

"You're getting thinner, and your face is getting paler, isn't it uncomfortable?" Li Jin'er's hand rested on Ning Xiu's side face, her eyes were so warm and soft that they seemed to be shattered. It's better to be shattered into powder, and then turned into a puddle of water. So that he can't touch the edges and corners in her eyes, "Obviously I made it according to the recipe written in the book, and I watch you eat three meals a day, how can you not gain weight?"

Ning Xiu looked into Li Jin'er's eyes quietly for a long time, then lowered her head and chuckled.

Many things are unnecessary for two people who have lived together for a long time.

Since Ningxiu abdicated and lived in seclusion, they have lived together for hundreds of years. For so many years, it is enough to have many tacit understandings.

Just like some sensitivities and concerns, it is all because of caring too much. But after all, we care about each other, so everything is not a bad thing.

"Brother Ning, go to sleep, you are very tired." Li Jin'er straightened her clothes, lay back on the bed, and whispered, "Sweet dream."

Ning Xiu lay on his side next to Li Jin'er, wrapping his arms around her waist, with his face resting on her neck. Because she was lying on her back, the flowing jade around her neck slipped to one side, and the side with engraved words was just close to Ning Xiu's eyes.

The ten beautiful and clean characters on Liuyu were infinitely magnified in Ning Xiu's eyes.

Wish to be like Liang Shangyan, see you every year.

Ning Xiu stared at Liu Yu for a long time. Li Jin'er was lying peacefully on the bed sleeping, and suddenly felt a hand tentatively groping for her face in the dark. It was Ning Xiu's hand.

Ning Xiu's unique aura slowly overwhelmed him, causing Li Jin'er to blush half of his face.

After a while.

Ning Xiu touched Li Jiner's waist with the other hand, and gently kneaded it. The hand covering Li Jin'er's face was interlocked with Li Jin'er's ten fingers in turn, and the whole body was tightly attached to Li Jin'er, and the heat between the two of them seemed to be on fire.

Li Jin'er wrapped her arms around Ning Xiu's waist helplessly, her breathing gradually became disordered, but she was surprisingly indulgent towards Ning Xiu, quietly appearing very obedient, her waist was constantly rubbed by Ning Xiu, which made her stand up slightly and stick closer to Ning Xiu close.

As expected, warm lips covered her face, brushed lightly over the bridge of her nose, and then pressed against her lips tightly. In the cold air, the intertwined hot lips were unbelievably warm, causing Li Jin'er's usually cold body to feel a little hot.

Ning Xiu's interlocking hand with hers moved away slightly, and instead curled up his index finger. While kissing Li Jiner, he gently stroked and wrote in Li Jiner's palm one by one.

I like the words engraved on the jade.

Li Jin'er's heart tightened, and her body stiffened with tension. Ning Xiu then wrote in her palm:

I haven't had a good talk with you during the day, do you miss me?

The light touch like a feather tickled Li Jin'er's heart, and she couldn't help tightening the hand resting on Ning Xiu's waist. She was raising her head and wanted to kiss back, but Ning Xiu moved her lips away. In the dark, she carefully arranged Li Jin'er's hair and collar, and then lay back neatly beside Li Jiner.

Li Jin'er only felt that her ears were very hot, and after shaking her hands, she realized that her palms were sticky with sweat.

After a while, she groped for Ning Xiu's hand, carefully spread Ning Xiu's palm, and slowly wrote on it with hot fingertips:

think.

The beautiful words slowly bloomed in Ning Xiu's palm, as if all the good things in the world were bestowed on him by the woman in front of him at this moment. The tenderness expressed by a usually cold person is more precious than any gold, silver silk or high mountains and beautiful waters in the world. Make people happy.

He really loves Li Jiner's appearance of being cold and indifferent in front of everyone, but weak and accommodating in front of him.

Ning Xiu held Li Jin'er's hand, together with the jade tightly in the palm of his hand, he was not willing to let go, he wanted to be entangled with her at all times in the days and nights to come, never to be separated.

Until the end of my life.
