The Confucian Academy is not so much an academy as it is a palace. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to change the name to "Confucian Academy".
The two-thousand-year-old Confucian holy land has already surpassed the imperial palace of Biluodu in scale.
This is the only place in the world where the building exceeds the regulations and is not punished by the court.
Facing it is a huge five-story city wall, and the magnificent city gates are tightly integrated, only the round alley-shaped door openings on both sides are open to outsiders.
Entering the door opening is the grand square in front of the main hall.
On both sides of the gate there is a garrison of the supervisor, stationed with two hundred Confucian masters, commanded by two masters of the late innate stage, after the routine questioning, they went to the inner courtyard under the guard of twelve Confucian masters.
The layout is similar to that of a secular imperial palace. The Confucian Academy is still "the hall in the front and the bedroom in the back". The hall in the front is the place for preaching, teaching, and dispelling doubts, while the back is the residence of teachers and students.
The three main halls of the front court are majestic and majestic, located on the central axis of the entire building complex. On the left is the Wendian, which is equipped with various books and small classrooms; on the right is the Wudian, which has almost the same function as the Wendian.
Between the solemn and solemn halls, there are also a large number of gardens and open spaces. Countless scholars read and discuss here, and the sound of loud and clear sounds can be heard endlessly. Also through the woods.
The style of civil and military affairs is very prosperous.
Ye Qingxuan and others watched along the way, and saw palaces, pavilions, pavilions, terraces, corridors, etc. in the garden, all of which are strictly controlled and solemn, which is unmatched by other sects.
The architectural form of the inner court is more diverse than that of the outer court, and the layout is compact. Each group of buildings forms a courtyard surrounded by courtyard walls, and different sections are separated by tall palace walls. If there is no one to guide the way, it is not uncommon to get lost.
He Qingzhu presided over the Kunwu Academy for many years, and paid great attention to everything about the Confucian Academy. From time to time, there were voices of nodding in approval, or shaking his head and sighing.
Liu Mengyan, who was leading the way, hadn't formally greeted Ye Qingxuan since he met Ye Qingxuan. It was as if Ye Qingxuan had no conflict with Ye Qingxuan in his capacity as Shuai Tianfan when he was in Luodu back then.
It's just that this "No. 1 Talent in the South of the Yangtze River" seems to be suspected of demonstrating. The places he leads are all gathering places for Confucian elite students. From time to time, people will come forward to greet him affectionately. The disciple of Kunwu in Taoist robe also showed great interest.
Suddenly, there was a sound of applause from the front.
Liu Mengyan went ahead, and the crowd followed behind. They saw a piece of beautiful trees and flowers, and an open space surrounded by Confucian students holding scrolls and swords.
Above the clearing, a huge sheet of paper was hung between the trees on both sides. A figure was flying up and down with a brush in his hand, writing a poem with splashes of ink. The strokes opened and closed like fists.
The poem says—
In May, the mountains are cold and snowy, there are no flowers, only cold.
The willows are heard in the flute, but the spring scenery has never been seen.
Xiaozhan follows the golden drum, night sleeps holding the jade saddle.
I would like to put the sword down from the waist and cut Loulan straight.
The whole poem has a total of forty characters, combined together, it is a set of extremely brilliant martial arts.
There are as many strokes in each character as there are changes in the moves.
Especially the last word of each verse is the place where the most force is used, and it is obviously the most violent move.
Those with many strokes don't feel complicated, and those with few strokes don't see their ugliness.
Its contraction is also dignified, like the flexion of an inchworm, and its verticality is also dangerous, like the escape of a cunning rabbit. Dripping and hearty, majestic and vigorous, the elegant part is like the wind, like snow dancing, and the thick part is like a tiger squatting, like an elephant walking.
The Confucian students around were dazzled and maddened, applauding one after another.
Among the crowd, only Ye Qingxuan and He Qingzhu knew both calligraphy and swordsmanship. Sun Kun next to him scratched his head and couldn't help but leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Boy Ye, what is the kung fu of that jumping up and down guy?" How is it? Why are these boys so enthusiastic like meeting a god?"
Ye Qingxuan replied with a smile: "Calligraphy is good. Martial arts are also good. But I feel a bit unnatural to have to mix martial arts and calligraphy together."
He Qingzhu laughed and said: "In my opinion, it's just a play for people who like calligraphy. When facing the enemy, the key to victory is to use concise and concise moves. If you have to write a word on the opponent's chest, there is something wrong. sick."
Everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.
Even Sun Kejian shook his head and sighed, saying "putting the cart before the horse" and "grabbing the crowd".
On the contrary, Sun Ke rolled his eyes and retorted: "No way. I think the calligraphy written by this kid is quite similar to that. It is ancient to use calligraphy into martial arts. The most famous one today is Yan Jingliu Everyone, is the number one calligrapher in the world, and at the same time an extremely strong man in the martial arts world. It is said that his special skill [Eight Great Peaks] was learned from a copybook written by an ancient calligrapher. How can he say calligraphy? Can't it be used as a martial arts envoy?"
At this time, Sun Kejian smiled and replied: "I'm afraid this is a rumor spread by people in the martial arts."
"Oh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they all looked at him. Even Liu Mengyan in front of him had his ears pricked up. He obviously heard a few people talking and couldn't help but show his listening appearance.
Sun Kejian looked at the students in the field, and said calmly: "My senior brother's set of [Badafeng] is indeed an ancient stunt, but it is not derived from calligraphy at all. Just inspiration."
While talking, Sun Kejian recalled the scene at that time.
"That time was when he was thirty-eight years old, and he entered the customs for the ninth time in his life. What he practiced was just the basic [Seventy-two Sage Swords] of my sect. Because he likes calligraphy on weekdays, and uses martial arts moves Incorporating it into calligraphy has made his calligraphy iron hooks and silver strokes magnificent. And every time he practices calligraphy, it is equivalent to practicing swordsmanship... Let’s not mention these for now. Let’s just talk about the "Eight Peaks Picture", which I also saw at the time. However, they are the eight "peak" characters written by ancient calligraphy masters. There are not only oracle bone inscriptions, but also bronze inscriptions, and they are divided into big seal script, bird seal script, running script, regular script, cursive script, and official script... Brother Yan loves them like treasures and often copies them. different strokes."
"That retreat was when he was about to break through. Originally, there was still the last hurdle to break through in martial arts. When he was upset, he used calligraphy to stabilize his body and mind. Unexpectedly, when he kept writing, that hurdle that was difficult to break through He was actually comprehended by him. When he was excited, he called the martial arts learned in this retreat "Badafeng". "Peak Map" is now hanging in his study, and countless people can see it. But even the most intelligent people in the world may not be able to practice [Eight Great Peaks] from it."
I see.
Everyone didn't expect that there was such a cause and effect, and suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
Even that Liu Mengyan had such an expression, Fangfo solved a mystery in his heart.
