Chapter 638 A Cultural Lesson
Another chapter and a cultural class
The brick kiln is very broken, which gives Gao Yuyan a feeling like a large tomb.
And there were some dry artemisia at the entrance of the brick kiln, which were black inside.
If it was summer, these artemisiae must have grown very lushly and miserably. There wouldn’t be a vixen coming out of it suddenly? Gao Yuyan, who had a rich imagination, thought of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". She was so scared by her imagination that she couldn’t help but tremble. No wonder the two people refused to come in.
She quickly glanced at Shang Zhen, and Shang Zhen also seemed very cautious and cautious, looking like he raised his feet high and lowered his feet, as if he was afraid of disturbing the fairies inside.
And this undoubtedly made Gao Yuyan even more worried.
However, Gao Yuyan found out that he was wrong, just because Shang Zhen said: "Be careful, don't step on the wormwood, it will be bad for outsiders to see here and enter."
Gao Yuyan just thought of something like this, and when she saw Shang Zhen just took two steps and disappeared from the entrance of the black brick cave.
Shang Zhen's actions undoubtedly gave Gao Yuyan courage, so she followed her in.
In fact, the brick kiln is not as dark as imagined. After adapting to the dimness inside, you can see it almost the same inside, so naturally there will be no fairies.
After observing the situation of this small brick kiln, Shang Zhen sat cross-legged in the dimness next to the hole, and the twenty-shot box cannon was placed on his knees.
Gao Yuyan was still worried about this brick kiln. She didn't dare to get too far away from Shang Zhen and sat opposite Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen's eyes naturally turned to the outside of the brick kiln, and Gao Yuyan's eyes naturally did not fall on Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen was a taciturn person, and he didn't care that Gao Yuyan just looked at him up and down.
The two of them stayed quietly for half an hour. In the end, Gao Yuyan broke the silence, but she chanted in a very low voice: "The silver saddle shines on the white horse, as cool as a meteor.
Kill one person in ten steps, and do not stay for a thousand miles.
After the matter, I left with my clothes and hid my name.
I was idle after Xinling drinking, take off my sword and cross my knees in front of me."
"Hmm?" Shang Zhen couldn't help but look back at Gao Yuyan.
Because Gao Yuyan's voice of chanting poems was very low, Shang Zhen only listened to it half-understand it, but what attracted Shang Zhen's mind the most was the sentence "kill one person in ten steps".
Shang Zhen is a soldier, so he cannot be said to be interested in killing, but at least he is much more sensitive to killing than ordinary people.
"Are you a superior?" Gao Yuyan asked Shang Zhen again.
"Be a company commander." Shang Zhen answered casually and asked again, "Can you recite poetry in your family?"
Gao Yuyan said "um" and raised her voice slightly and said, "I think you are sitting here like a hero now!"
"Hero?" Shang Zhen was surprised again. He knew what the hero meant, but he didn't know how Gao Yuyan connected him with the hero.
"This poem was written by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty." Gao Yuyan explained. She was worried that Shang Zhen would not understand it, so she explained it in detail. "It means that a hero is very skilled in martial arts and specializes in doing things that are chivalrous and righteous. He can kill an enemy with quick actions.
After he killed the enemy, he did not preach the big thing he had done and left far away, as if he had never come before, and there was only his legend in the world, but no trace of him.
And where is he at this time? He is sitting cross-legged in a place like you, with tea in front of him, but his knees are the sharp blades of his killing enemies, and they are also the short guns like you."
Gao Yuyan's voice sounds very nice, and her voice is not entirely Northeast voice. I think it is also the reason why she has lived in the south for a long time.
However, although she tried to explain it in simple words, she inevitably had a bookish atmosphere.
Listening to Gao Yuyan's explanation, Shang Zhen couldn't help but look at the box cannon beside his knee, with a smile on his face, and he said, "It's a bit like letting you say this, but I'm not a hero, I'm just a soldier."
When Shang Zhen mentioned the soldier, his already dead companions flashed in front of him, Li Fushun, Hu Biao, Lao Huotou, Wang Zhuang, Er Hanzi, as well as those famous and unknown Northeast Army and Chinese soldiers from other factions.
Shang Zhen is no longer the literate soldier who is just a literate soldier.
People are growing up. Most people always understand many truths at a certain period or at a certain moment during their growth process, which is to establish a world for adulthood.
Of course, there are also a very small number of people who always don’t grow up, which is what later generations call “mama’s baby”.
What is "killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a thousand miles away. After doing things, you will leave without leaving your body and reputation." It is a legendary figure with a hero's aura.
But Shang Zhen knew that he was not, and no matter how hard he could fight, he was just a soldier, an ant who survived the crack of his toes when he stepped on his big foot.
Gao Yuyan looked at Shang Zhen curiously. She didn't know what Shang Zhen was thinking.
She could see that Shang Zhen was very young, even if he was older than him, he would never be a few years older.
This person is very good at fighting and polite to others. This person is also meticulous and does not like to be very fond of merit.
Suddenly she felt that Shang Zhen should be a very story-provoking person, and her curiosity became increasingly strong.
So she chanted again in a low voice: "When she was drunk, she looked at the sword with her lamp, and dreamed of blowing the horns and camps. She was divided into 800 miles under her command, and she was rumbling outside the border for fifty strings, and the soldiers were lit on the battlefield."
Shang Zhen was attracted by Gao Yuyan's chanting and took back his thoughts, and he was attracted by Gao Yuyan's "poetry".
Soldiers are destined to like military works, and only young men and girls in the ivory tower without experience will like romantic love.
Gao Yuyan saw Shang Zhen start to listen carefully again and smiled, and then recited: "Lying in the lonely village, I don't feel sad,
Shang Si guarded Luntai for the country.
Lying at night, listening to the wind and rain,
The iron horse and the ice river come into my dreams.”
The iron horse and the ice river come to dream, which is also a matter of joining the army and fighting, Shang Zhen pondered.
At this time, Gao Yuyan began to tell: "Whether it is Xin Qiji, the author of the lyrics, or Lu You, the author of the poem, they are all from the Southern Song Dynasty." However, as soon as she talked about this, she asked Shang Zhen, "Do you know the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Gao Yuyan really underestimated Shang Zhen, but Shang Zhen also acted in a normal manner. He thought for a while and asked, "Isn't it the dynasty of Prince Yue?"
"Yes!" Gao Yuyan realized that she had made a mistake. The story of Yue Fei's resistance to the Jin Dynasty was widely circulated among the people.
"The territory of our Han people was occupied by the Jin Kingdom, and then the Southern Song Dynasty was formed. The aspiring people in the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to recover the lost territory, so no matter Lu You and Xin Qiji, they hoped that the court could lose the land.
This situation is the same as the reason why the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces.
Lu You also dreamed of regaining lost land, so he came to his dream.
Xin Qiji is both a lyricist and martial arts master. He once led dozens of people to break into the Jin army camp and captured the traitor alive.
Of course, if we follow the current statement, that traitor is a traitor.
The reason why I recite these two poems is because the Song Dynasty at that time was very similar to ours now.
Later, the Southern Song Dynasty destroyed the country without recovering the lost territory, but we are different. At least we can fight with the Japanese. I think you can also become a hero like Prince Yue Feiyue!"
Shang Zhen saw that Gao Yuyan looked at him with eager eyes and even a hint of admiration, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he compete with Yue Fei?
However, he was very happy to listen to the poems Gao Yuyan recited for himself, so he said, "You know so much, let me talk more."
"What are you talking about?" Gao Yuyan asked.
"Tell me whatever you want." Shang Zhen replied.
"Oh." Gao Yuyan responded, and then he really started talking. Shang Zhen was listening to Gao Yuyan's story and observing the movement outside the brick kiln.
Gao Yuyan knew a lot, and she told Shang Zhen a lot and it was very complicated.
Such as family, country and the world.
For example, China was the center of the world during the Tang Dynasty, and then China was waiting for congratulations from all directions.
For example, the backwardness of a nation is not only the backwardness of science and technology, but also the ignorance of human beings.
For example, the roots of a nation are actually culture and faith.
For example, Japan originally wanted to come to China to worship, but after the industrial civilization, China was not able to do so.
etc.
During Gao Yuyan's narration, Shang Zhen listened very seriously, and of course he did not forget to continue observing the movement outside the brick kiln.
If time and space change, later generations will find it strange to see such a scene. The reason is naturally that later generations understand the principles that Gao Yuyan said.
But people cannot travel through time after all, and never underestimate a person's spiritual pursuit. Even those who think they are very educated in later generations can only feel their humility when facing a real master.
