After coming out of the mosque, Zhou Jun told Fei Weng what Mu Shaikh had said.
The latter nodded and led everyone to a house in the city.
The layout of the house is not like the style of the Western Regions, but it has a straight roof, brackets and wooden beams, and the main colors are red, black, and yellow. It looks more like an ancient house from the Han Dynasty. Read a book
Fei Weng opened the door and walked straight in. When he saw everyone standing outside the door, he said, "Come in, everyone. This is my house."
Zhou Jun was a little surprised. Fei Weng was dressed simply and did not look like a rich man, but there was such a house in Yanqi Town.
When you walk into the house, the courtyard and the wing are connected together, both of which are empty and deserted.
Feiong pushed open the closed door of the main hall and saw that there were spider webs everywhere inside, and sand, gravel and debris could be seen everywhere on the ground.
In the center of the hall, there is a portrait of Taoist Master. However, due to the age, it has become yellowish and gray. It is difficult to read.
Feion wrapped his huqin in a cloth, put it on the table, and said to the others: "Very few people will come here, so just stay here."
Zhou Jun nodded and asked Sun Aying and Long Qi to lead people to clean the courtyard and prepare meals.
After dinner, Zhou Jun settled down with the others, went to the backyard, and heard the sound of weapons breaking through the air one after another.
Hua Yue is holding a double-pronged sword, and Fei Weng is holding a branch. The two are playing tricks.
After about a hundred moves, Fei Weng turned his wrist, and the branch in his hand hit Hua Yue's shoulder. The latter instantly went numb and his weapon fell to the ground.
Fei Weng put away the branches and said with approval: "I'm not wrong, I really have a high level of understanding."
Huayue rubbed her arm, slowly picked up the sword on the ground, and said, "Master has been asking me."
Fei Weng said with a smile: "If you wait until the day comes, I won't give in anymore, and you will be dismissed."
After finishing speaking, Fei Weng asked again: "After practicing for so many days, what insights have you gained?"
Huayue thought for a moment and said, "Master's swordsmanship seems to focus on predicting the enemy's plan first."
Fei Weng: "These four words are correct... Just take a look."
Feion raised his arm and made a chopping motion with the branch.
After finishing, he pointed to his right arm and said: "To complete this action, the human body needs to use six parts, namely the shoulder socket, right upper arm, elbow, right forearm, wrist and palm. Simplified
Look, it’s three points and three lines.”
"What are three points and three lines? The shoulder socket, elbow and wrist are the points that can be rotated, while the upper arm, forearm and palm are the lines used to support the movement. When you want to make a chopping action, the shoulder socket is
The first moving part is the big arm, and then the elbow. The three points and three lines move one after another and cooperate with each other to finally complete the chopping action." Huayue continued: "So, when the enemy's shoulder socket moves,
, you can judge the opponent's next move, and then be the first to complete the layout of the sword moves, so that you can predict the enemy's plan first."
Fionn: "That's the truth, but the human body has hundreds of action parts. When fighting against the enemy, not only careful observation is required, but also sharp thinking."
"This may sound difficult at first, but once you master the know-how and have a wealth of experience, you can definitely do it when playing against others. In addition, you not only use vision, but also rely on hearing, wind pressure, and tactile feedback.
, allowing the body to eventually form a reflex similar to natural instinct under the coordination of multiple stimulations."
"At that point, sword moves are no longer useful. Seeing through the enemy's attack method and completing basic sword movements as quickly as possible to intercept the enemy's offensive is the magic weapon for victory."
Zhou Jun listened on the sidelines and walked over to Fei Weng and asked: "Can this kind of skill be used in the military formation?"
Fei Weng looked at Zhou Jun, shook his head and said: "The role that martial arts can play in war is very limited. Let me give you an example, two armies are fighting, the infantry uses heavy shields as a wall, and the crossbows are fired. In that case,
No matter how skilled a person is in martial arts, he will be surrounded by his own soldiers at the front, back, left and right, and lacks space to move around. He can only face the enemy's formation directly. If he just meets him, he will most likely be shot to death on the battlefield."
Zhou Jun couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
Fei Weng turned to Hua Yue and said: "This sword technique is derived from Taoist nature. It pays attention to observing things, listening to the source, thinking about it, and following the trend. Therefore, if you want to practice this sword technique well, you only need to work hard and diligently.
Secondly, understanding and awareness are the key... That’s all for today, each sword move should be repeated five hundred times, so go ahead.”
Watching Hua Yue go away, Fei Weng said to Zhou Jun: "How much do you know about Hua Yue?"
Zhou Jun was stunned: "Drawing the moon?"
Fei Weng: "Let me ask you, has Hua Yue ever told you that her mother is from Yuezhi and her father is the governor of Khorasan Province?"
Zhou Jun: "That's right."
Fei Weng: "There are some things that she herself doesn't know clearly. This may also be a kind of happiness for her."
Zhou Jun asked further: "Please ask Fei Weng to clear up the confusion."
Feon hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "During the earliest period of the founding of the Dashi Kingdom, during the era of the four major caliphs, restrictions on royal marriages were not strict. Members of the royal family married prisoners of war and female slaves, which occasionally happened. But in the Umayyad Dynasty, due to the founding of the country,
The monarch Muawiya used tricks to seize the position of caliphate from the family of Prophet Ali, and assassinated Ali, the "last pure one," causing the legitimacy of his rule to be controversial."
"Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, the successive successors of the Umayyad Dynasty were more conservative and more conventional in marriage matters than the earlier dynasties. Caliphs of all generations repeatedly emphasized the purity of blood when marrying wives, and absolutely prohibited the royal family from marrying
Untouchables engage in intermarriage.”
Zhou Jun asked in confusion: "What does all this have to do with painting the moon?"
Fei Weng sighed softly: "Hua Yue's mother is from Yuezhi and was married to the provincial governor as a slave. Logically speaking, the mother and daughter should be despised at home. However, Hua Yue
Although she has a low status, she can be cared for by her family and has many privileges that other children cannot enjoy. For example, she can go to the capital to study, and for another example, she can enter and exit the palace freely..."
Hearing this, Zhou Jun opened his eyes wide and finally understood what the other party meant.
Zhou Jun asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that Hua Yue's real father is actually not the provincial governor, but the Caliph of the Great Eclipse... Wait, if Hua Yue is really what you said, then the Eclipse Caliph...
Why didn't anyone send someone to find her?"
Fei Weng: "Huayue's identity is sensitive. If it is leaked, it may cause political opponents of the Caliphate to take advantage of it. In fact, someone from Dashi once came to the hidden door and specifically placed a red order, describing Huayue's appearance and characteristics, and asked for a search
The whereabouts of this girl. Although the visitor did not explain her origin, the leader of the Dharma Hall, Mu Sheikh, once served as the Imam of the Grand Mosque. He knew some things in the palace many years ago and also saw the moon painting in his childhood.
It’s just that the latter doesn’t remember it anymore.”
