"Hey, now that I hear what you say, I feel a little panicked. I'm afraid that I may not fulfill my duties as a teacher and do something that will mislead the students." Lu Ji laughed at himself.
"Don't say that, my disciple can't bear it." Ding Kui said with cold sweat on his forehead, "My disciple wants to open a martial arts gym and teach apprentices publicly."
He explained his idea to Lu Ji in detail. Martial arts schools are similar to Tai Chi, Baguazhang, Wing Chun and other forms on earth. They open schools everywhere and recruit disciples. Most of them are registered disciples, and there are only a few true disciples.
"Your idea is quite novel. Sects on the mainland will not recruit disciples like this. This is not conducive to keeping the secrets of the sect, and it is difficult to ensure the quality of the disciples." Lu Ji hesitated a little.
"This form will have disadvantages, but the advantages are obvious. Disciples can spread all over the country in a short period of time. The larger the base of disciples, the greater the possibility of producing elite disciples. As long as management can keep up, many disadvantages can be eliminated."
Ding Kui knew that the teacher could not accept the new concept for a while, so he renamed some examples from the earth and tried his best to persuade Lu Ji.
"Actually, I studied under the Invisible Sword Sect, which is a loose sect. It only has a complete set of apprentice training methods and a unique understanding of swordsmanship. The most important inheritance - Dou Qi Kung Fu, depends on the opportunities of each disciple. The ancestor did not leave any
Use good techniques."
Lu Ji explained to Ding Kui the origin of the sect.
"Especially for disciples like you who were born in a famous family, I don't want to talk to you about the sect. How can the Invisible Sword Sect compare to the inheritance of the Protector of the Country. Although the martial arts school you envision is good, the sect is not worthy of it.
In this way, your success mainly depends on the inheritance of the Ding family." Lu Ji's mind was very clear.
As his disciple, Feng Liang's achievements were far inferior to those of Ding Kui, not to mention Zheng Yun, Ouyang Chong, Xu Bin and others. The most critical factor here was their respective family backgrounds.
"Excuse me, who is in charge of the Invisible Sword Sect now?" Ding Kui immediately inquired about the master's situation.
"Generally speaking, no one has the final say. Whoever is more powerful can speak on behalf of the sect. If we compete now, of course I will make the final decision." Lu Ji's words showed the domineering power of a commander-in-chief. After all, he was a great leader back then.
command.
"That's no problem. You have the final say on how the Invisible Sword Sect will develop in the future. We will be the beneficiaries after the sect grows, so this is worth doing.
In fact, the name of the martial arts school can be anything, the key lies in who is in charge, whose name is more famous and attractive, and whose teaching ability is more convincing.
Your name is well-known in the country, and your disciples are somewhat famous even though they are not talented. This can completely prove your teaching ability. The two of us, master and disciple, are enough to hold up the Invisible Sword Gate.
In the past, senior senior brother guided our senior brothers in basic training on your behalf. This model can be applied to the martial arts gym. You and your disciples do not need to stay in the martial arts gym to teach.
Recently, my disciples have developed a new apprenticeship training method, using a large number of barbells and plum blossom piles. Please give me your guidance." Ding Kui has a complete system of ideas.
"Oh, you want to use the name of Invisible Sword Sect. I'm afraid it's not just for money and to recruit elite disciples." Lu Ji heard the implication of Ding Kui's words.
"Haha, the teacher understands me. I haven't thought about the details yet, but it will be easy to write other articles." Ding Kui did not deny it.
"You can give it a try. There is no problem with using barbells to train strength. The plum blossom pile can evolve a variety of body skills. I can't say how good the experience is. It is barely enough for knight apprentices to use."
Lu Ji was once a dominating general and a banner of the Invisible Sword Sect. He was not willing to be buried in the remote Xiaxi Town. In his early years, he protected Ding Kui under the instruction of the Jiang family. Now he has already completed this task, plus his daughter
As he grew up, his unquenchable ambition to create a career was aroused by Ding Kui.
The newly made amusement equipment was very simple, but Lu Ying had a great time playing it. Afterwards, she kept complaining to Ding Kui why he didn't build it for her to play with when she was a child.
"When I was a kid, I didn't know much more than you did. You and I both grew up in Xiaxi Town. What kind of insights can we gain by staying there? I got a lot of inspiration when I traveled to the Northern Empire, but I was too busy to make it.
"Ding Kui made up a reason to defend himself.
"Wow, it's great to be like you. I also want to travel to the Northern Empire." Lu Ying was envious and jealous.
"You? Forget it. If Brother Yu hadn't been with me back then, I wouldn't have dared to run to the north. I would have accidentally died in a foreign country without my family knowing about it." Ding Kui hurriedly threatened Lu Ying, fearing that she would die temporarily.
He ran out as soon as he got the idea.
More and more people came to visit the Ding family and his son. Ding Kui had no choice but to entrust Liu Yu and Lu Ying to take care of the children's playground, and Fei Ze, Qian You, Ding Zhong and Lu Ji to help prepare the martial arts gym.
In his vision, the martial arts hall not only trains knight disciples, but also recruits warrior apprentices, archer apprentices, and even magician apprentices. It wants to build a comprehensive martial arts hall and recruit all kinds of talents.
Qian Bu once asked Ding Kui if he wanted to bring Lu Ji into the crossbow research team. Ding Kui rejected the proposal after serious consideration. The reason was that the less people knew about the secret, the better. The crossbow was a simple weapon that did not require so much searching.
Multi-person research.
Dizhi, the bandit lord, came to see Ding Qi, on the pretext of reminiscing with Ding Kui, which surprised Ding Qi.
The most famous five marquises of Shaodian Kingdom, the Marquis of Protecting the Country, the Marquis of Dangkou, the Marquis of Zhenguan, the Marquis of Pingbo and the Marquis of Tianji, are all first-grade marquises. The five families of Ding, Di, Yu, Sima and Liang have very little contact with each other.
We communicate in gatherings such as the Noble Meeting, but we don't have much friendship in private.
The reason why "the five princes and ten uncles" are mentioned together is because they are all neutral factions and do not favor anyone in the Shaodian Kingdom. They are considered to be the leaders of the neutral faction in the kingdom.
The Ten Dukes looked down on any neutral faction, but they were afraid of the "Five Marquises and Ten Uncles" joining forces and did not dare to overly suppress the small and medium-sized nobles who were attached to the "Five Marquises and Ten Uncles".
"The Di Zhi you met at Yuntian Inn." Ding Qi asked his son afterwards, "After the Ding family fell, the Di family became one of the five princes. You can interact with him on an equal footing, but remember not to be taken advantage of by him."
"Dad, besides you and Di Zhi, who else is there among the five princes?"
"There is also Tianji Hou Lianggong whom you know, and the other two Zhenguan Hou Yuwei and Pingbo Hou Sima Zong are things you have never seen before."
Ding Qi had already removed his own family from the Five Lords. The Ding family, which had no territory, could not be compared with the other four families at present, but now it was a bit of a turnaround. Juyang City was not big, but it was still a city.
"Oh, the commander-in-chief of Xihai belongs to the Pingbohou family. I have heard of him."
"The situation of the Sima family is not much better than ours. The position of Commander-in-Chief of the West Sea is expected to be abolished. There are now eight naval corps. In the future, only the commander-in-chief of the theater can command all the navies." Ding Qiqi was in Lu State but knew the domestic situation well.
"I still have at least one county town and half a county." Ding Kui muttered.
The fiefdom of a first-rank lord is normally one county with three ordinary cities, a third-rank lord is a lower-grade county, and a second-rank lord is a superior county.
"How can you be that you are only a third-class earl, and you are still five levels away from others?" Ding Qi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Uh, by the way, will my son go to Lu State to take over your position in the future?" Ding Kui quickly changed the topic.
Ding Qi explained: "The prince-in-law can't go, the imperial clan has regulations. You don't have to worry about Lu Guo's affairs, I'm training a few potential successors.
Didn't your Grandpa Qian also preside over the Lu State for a period of time back then? It doesn't have to be a direct descendant of the Ding family, followers are also allowed."
"Oh, I sent Tao Mu to Cao State to conduct espionage activities. Do you think he has the potential to take charge of the affairs of Lu State?" Ding Kui thought of the missing Tao Mu.
"That bandit leader, his strength is not bad, it depends on his experience. You have been exposed to things over there, and it is not enough without rich experience. You can let him train in the Cao Kingdom for a few more years, and then send him to the Lu Kingdom to give it a try in the future.
"
Ding Qi was impressed by Tao Mu's ability to escape from Ding Kun's hands. His ability to escape was pretty good, but as a spy leader, he couldn't always escape.
Ding Kui didn't want his father to stay in Lu Guo for a long time. After all, he was engaged in underground activities there, and it would be difficult to protect him openly if something happened. He would rather his father returned to his old home to take care of himself.
The wedding day is approaching, and Ding Kui is busy receiving guests. Since the wedding is organized by the clan, not everyone is eligible to participate. If Lu Ji does not have the title of Teacher Ding Kui, he is not qualified. All nobles below the marquis can come to congratulate.
But he is not eligible to attend the wedding.
All the students and fellow students in Pingzhong County could only go to the Protectorate to send gifts and congratulate them, and then they could only wait for the convening of the noble meeting.
On that day, Jiang Nai came over to invite Ding Kui to Duke An's mansion alone, but Ding Qi didn't go with him because he was interested.
Jiang Li was waiting outside the hall. As soon as Ding Kui arrived, he led him away.
"Your grandpa is here." He said to Ding Kui.
Ding Kui could guess from the battle that his uncle would not summon him alone at such a busy time.
Seeing a lake in the distance ahead, Jiang Li handed Ding Kui a long sword and said, "Behave well, father will test your cultivation."
Ding Kui nodded vigorously and took the sword. The opportunity to be tested by a legendary knight was too precious. He had to show his best.
When he came to the lake, he was thinking about how to cross the river when a seven-foot-long flying fish jumped out of the lake and hovered in the air.
The flying fish is the form of the Jiang family's fighting spirit. Although he couldn't tell that the flying fish in front of him was fighting spirit, he recognized the pattern on the Jiang family's emblem at a glance.
Is this the person who took me to the island in the middle of the lake? The legendary knight is so powerful, but there is no trace of fighting spirit.
He was surprised, but he didn't waste any time and jumped onto the flying fish's back.
The flying fish sank slightly, then carried Ding Kui and flew to the small island in the middle of the lake.
The tall Jiang Tong stood under a tree and smiled when he saw Ding Kui flying over.
"I heard that you have fought against level six warriors?" he asked before Ding Kui could stand firm.
As soon as Ding Kui jumped to the ground, Feiyu plunged into the lake and disappeared into the rippling waves.
