Needless to say, martial arts, the children of the nobles will learn a little bit and strengthen their bodies, but they will not spend energy to go deep into it. It is meaningless for them to become masters.
As for medical skills... this can be regarded as a skill to make a living. Even if there are doctors in hundreds of schools, most doctors just want to make money to make a living. Does the dignified Master Qin need to practice medicine to make money?
The main reason is that people's energy is limited. It is already very difficult for a superior person to understand the little power he has in his lifetime. How can he still have the energy to study other skills?
Fu Su is very much in line with his father in this regard. Ying Zheng only needs to know a little bit about martial arts to ensure his health, and he doesn't learn any other messy things.
So Fusu thought about it and wanted to refuse, but out of caution, he asked one more question:
"I wonder if the father, the king, has any opinion on this?"
"Your father? He doesn't have any opinions." Gu Xun shook his head. "He didn't ask me to teach you this."
"Well... Doctor Gu, do you have any suggestions?" Fusu still didn't rush to refuse and asked again.
"Me... I think if you have enough time, it would be better to learn some martial arts." Gu Xun touched his chin and gave some advice.
For Fusu, learning medical skills is really meaningless. It can help him prevent others from poisoning him. Besides, medical skills... It is so difficult to persuade people to learn medicine. It is so difficult!
But martial arts is different. The more you learn and understand, the stronger you will be. It is always safer to have some martial arts close to you, and sometimes it will bring a lot of convenience.
"Then...student Fusu, I would like to ask sir for some advice." After Fusu thought about it for a moment, he chose to follow Gu Xun's suggestion, stood up, and bowed respectfully with his hands clasped together.
Gu Xun did not avoid it and accepted it calmly.
Even if he only teaches martial arts for the time being, he is still a teacher and deserves to be worshiped by Fu Su.
"Where should students start learning?" After saluting, Fusu sat down again, looked at Gu Xun a little more intimately, and his title changed back to Mr., which represented the teacher's meaning.
No matter what, people who have a master-disciple relationship these days are always much closer.
The reason why Fusu easily followed the advice of Gu Xun, a semi-stranger whom he had only met a few times, and became a disciple directly was because in Fusu's eyes, Gu Xun was the person arranged by his father and was worthy of trust.
"Don't worry, wait until I look back to find suitable martial arts." Gu Xun waved his hand, and then asked, "What kind of martial arts do you want to learn?"
"..." Fusu's little eyes began to look confused again.
He is a child who has only mastered six of the seven martial arts apertures. He doesn’t know anything, so how can he want to learn anything?
Seeing this, Gu Xun could only ask in more detail, "Uh... what kind of weapon do you want to use, or just use your fists or legs and feet?"
After asking this question, Fusu knew a lot, and without any other considerations, he immediately replied, "Sword!"
A sword is a weapon for a gentleman. With Fu Su's temperament, he naturally didn't think so, but he added one more thing, "There are also bows and arrows."
Well, the Six Arts of Confucianism.
Gu Xun sighed and shook his head, having nothing to say about Fusu's choice.
"The sword is fine, but the bow and arrow are not. I don't understand that."
Looking at the entire animal world, there are no bows and arrows that can be used easily. Only those cannon fodder can use them.
Gu Xun relied on his own tyrannical strength to be able to lose to Bodardo, but that had nothing to do with shooting skills, it was purely about hard power.
"Then the student will just learn swordsmanship." Fusu was not disappointed. He wanted to learn archery, and there were many candidates for teachers.
"Then what kind of swordsmanship do you want to learn? One that is elegant, agile, and unpredictable? One that is as powerful as thunder, shaking the earth and shaking the sky? Or one that is majestic and ethereal?"
"Uh..." Fusu hesitated again. He didn't know what to learn. After all, he had never considered these issues before. After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, "Mr. I feel elegant."
Is something more flexible suitable for students?"
Gu Xun did not give a clear answer. After pondering for a while, he just said, "Well... let's arrange it this way for the time being."
Fusu did not refuse this. He believed that Gu Xun would not cheat him, and asked with some excitement, "Sir, when will students start studying?"
After all, he is still a young child, and his temperament is always a bit lively. I didn’t think about practicing martial arts before, but now I want to learn it, so I am naturally excited and expectant, especially based on long-term study of boring theoretical courses.
on the basis of.
However, facing the hopeful child, Gu Xun suddenly showed a wicked smile, "Don't worry, Fusu."
"You are still too young, and your body's muscles and bones have just begun to develop, so you are not suitable for practicing martial arts. Tomorrow I will get you a basic book to teach you the inner skills. You first have to work on the meridians for two years to lay the foundation of internal strength."
The child didn't quite understand the details, so he asked stupidly, "Internal strength... how to practice it?"
"Haha, sit down and practice, sit quietly to luck out, and exercise your meridians."
Fusu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Wouldn't it be more boring to just sit there? Finally, he asked again blankly:
"Then when can students start practicing swordsmanship?"
"At least ten years old." Gu Xun clicked his tongue and gave a fairly accurate number.
Ten years old... Fortunately, Fusu comforted himself in his heart, it would only take more than four years...
So... Teacher, you said that you can teach me martial arts now, but in fact, it will take several years before I can actually learn it?
Fusu didn't say anything, but his clear and bright eyes clearly flashed with questioning meaning.
Is it appropriate to deceive students who have just become a teacher?
Gu Xun looked at the little one in front of him and explained to himself, "Fusu, don't think that the basic training in the past few years is not important. In fact, it is very important. This is the foundation, and you must lay it down well."<
/p>
"Almost all the martial arts I know focus on internal strength cultivation, so it is very important to have a solid foundation when you are young. As long as you insist on exercising your meridians for one to two hours every day, I can guarantee that you will be able to do it before you are twenty years old.
Seeing this, Gu Xun smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
This was the truth. He had no intention of deceiving Fusu, and there was no trick. He was truly fulfilling the duties of a teacher.
For Fusu, the time he can devote to practicing martial arts is limited after all. If he does not lay the foundation when he is young and has plenty of time, it will be difficult for him to achieve success in martial arts when he is older.
As long as he has a good foundation, even if he doesn't spend much time practicing martial arts every day after the age of ten, he can at least grow into a top master.
If appropriate, Gu Xun will consider passing on the Seven Swords to him.
