Chapter 10 The mage's secret room talks about the general trend and the sword god is famous 5
When Wang Yue heard Nan Ye mention Shi Niu, he blushed and nodded and said, "Who in Luoyang City doesn't know that the mage's second question is to lift Shi Niu. Later, there were more classic warriors throwing stone cattle, and Zhou Zhuangshi came to the stage to raise the cattle competition. These deeds have long been well known to everyone, and how can I not know them?
Nan Ye said, "Recently, I heard that two people threw stone cows on the stage to practice martial arts every morning and left at dawn. At first, I didn't care, but I just sighed that there were so many strange people in the world. But I don't want the people in the city to spread it as a ghost. This rumor was caused by the stone cow on my ring, so I couldn't ignore it, so I ordered someone to watch the night to investigate. Does Wang Daxia think it's right for me to act like this?
Wang Yue's old face turned redder, and Shi A's face behind him also turned red. Of course, the two of them noticed Yao Cheng, who was on the vigil, but only regarded him as a curious people, which was their purpose, but they did not expect it to be Nanye. The two nodded at the same time, and Wang Yue said, "The mage is just like this."
Nan Ye fooled, "The night watchman came back and told me that the two martial arts practitioners left the ring and entered a martial arts school. So I calculated according to the direction, and then I knew that there were two great talents living in seclusion in this Luoyang City. It was Wang Yue's hero and Gao Tu Shi. Therefore, today's special visit is nothing else. First, I want to visit the two talents; second, I want to discuss with you two about how to break the rumors in the city. Third, I just want to ask you if there is anything difficult to say and why you use that Shi Niu to practice martial arts?
Wang Yue and Shi A looked at each other and sighed when they heard the words, and both believed what Nan Ye said. Just because Wang Yue became famous early, Shi A's reputation is not obvious. Master Nanye's ability to call out Shi's name was naturally calculated by secret methods.
Wang Yue sighed and said, "It is rumored that Taoist mages can know the heroes of the world, and it is true at first sight today. But what kind of hero is my Wang Yue? It's just a martial artist. You can't serve the court, and you can't support your wife and children. It's really not worthy of the mage's importance.
Shi A persuaded him, "Master, don't be discouraged. Since Master Nanye is here today, I might as well tell him what's on my mind. The mage has never missed it. Since the mage said that the master is a virtuous person, the master must have a useful place.
Wang Yue looked at his disciple Shi A and nodded excitedly. My disciple is usually taught more and praised. Today, Master Nanye praises him as a talented person, and it is no wonder that he will be happy. In fact, isn't it happy in your heart? But not everyone can be praised as a virtuous person by Master Nanye.
Nan Ye didn't know what kind of riddle the two were fighting, so he said, "If the two swordsmen have something to say, you might as well. I, Nan Ye, will never refuse to help." At this time, Nan Ye already had a plan to take these two people under his command. Of course, he had to show his goodwill to them first.
Wang Yue opened his mouth but was a little embarrassed to open his mouth. Shi A said, "Master, why don't you let me talk about it!" Wang Yue nodded, and Shi A came from the beginning.
It turned out that Wang Yue became famous very early. At the age of 18, he entered Helan Mountain and returned with the head of the Qiang leader alone. At that time, Wang Yue was energetic and handsome. He had no shortcomings except that he came from a civilian background. He was simply the embodiment of beauty and wisdom. Heroism and chivalry changed the social atmosphere and became popular with thousands of girls. Shi'a, who is still like this, is as famous as Nanye now, and he is more handsome and free than the two.
Wang Yue, who is highly sought after, is not in a hurry to get a family. It can be said that he has learned literature, martial arts, goods and imperial family. Relying on his ability and military achievements, Wang Yue wanted to seek an official position and start a career first and then start a family. He hopes to have a useful place for the benefit of the people.
Wang Yueyi, who is young and vigorous, doesn't want to leave the relationship. Second, he doesn't want to give gifts and is arrogant. He wants to seek a position with his real ability. If he catches up with the heyday of the Qingming Festival, it is not difficult for him to come forward. Unfortunately, he was not born at the right time, just in time for the eunuchs and relatives between Huan and Ling to be in power, which was the darkest period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The elders in the court were not happy to see Wang Yue's background, and they were unwilling to associate with him. In addition, Wang Yue did not understand the favor, so no one would pay attention to him. Even more officials deliberately made things difficult, and the officials kept attacking him as a martial artist who violated the ban.
Wang Yue did not understand why it was like this at that time. He also thought it was because his martial arts skills were not high and his reputation was not high. Therefore, he began to travel around the states. At the age of 30, he was almost invincible all over the world and was known as the first swordsman of the Han Dynasty. He thinks that his reputation and martial arts should be enough to be an official this time. Then he went to Luoyang again to ask for an official.
Wang Yue did not know the crux of his illness at all. The result of this request for an official can be imagined that he still ran into a wall everywhere. After two lessons, Wang Yue finally realized that he could not realize his ambitions without making friends with powerful people. However, he was originally a civilian and did not have a lot of family property. Traveling around the world has run out of money again. Where can I still afford to send gifts to the back door?
Although Wang Yue's swordsmanship is invincible in the world, it is a little difficult for him to make money. Wang Yue, who has no other skills, can only open a martial arts school in Luoyang with his martial arts skills and the name of the first swordsman of the Han Dynasty. On the one hand, it is to make a living, and on the other hand, it is also to accumulate some money to walk the way.
With Wang Yue's reputation as the first in the world, when the martial arts school first opened, it really attracted a large number of disciples to sign up for martial arts practice. Wang Yue made a lot of money, which made him very happy. So while teaching his disciples martial arts, he maneuvered between ministers and eunuchs, entrusting him to walk the doorway.
This time Wang Yue seems to have woken up, but in fact, he did something wrong again. This minister and eunuch originally represent different power circles, and they usually fight with each other. Wang Yue wanted to please both sides, and the result was to offend both sides, and neither side could trust him. The ministers despised his relationship and thought that he was a villain to make friends with eunuchs in order to seek office. The eunuchs felt that he had two or three knives, and he didn't have much money, and they didn't want to associate with him.
So Wang Yue's reputation in Luoyang gradually changed. He is no longer the first swordsman of an arrogant man, but a villain who is obsessed with power everywhere, an official fan. Not to mention the dignitaries, even the ordinary people began to look down on him, and the disciples also left him in batches. In the end, only the orphan Shi'a stayed.
At this time, Wang Yue was already frustrated, as if he was suddenly in his teens. The pain in his heart could not be explained to others at all. He could only talk to his remaining disciple Shi A Nian after drinking.
Of course, Shi A knew the boredom in his heart, so at a young age, he often carried a wine pot to drink for the master, and drank with him. He listened to the master's repeated nagging about how angry he was at the beginning, which should relieve his depression. Whether Wang Yue's depression has been resolved or not, but Shi A's drinking capacity has been practiced.
Of course, Shi A, who has been following Wang Yue for a long time, knows that his master is not a villain. If the master made friends with the powerful for the purpose of being dirty, then it can be said to be a matter of character. But the master asked for an official position clearly for the benefit of the people, and he had no choice but to make friends with the powerful.
In the era when corrupt officials and cruel officials were rampant at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, did they give up their own reputation in exchange for peace? Or do you want to be clean and watch the war? Wang Yue had to make this choice, which is the real tragedy. The bigger tragedy is that Wang Yue chose the former and gave up his reputation, but it was still not used by the court.
Shi A once listened to those departed disciples talk privately: Master's swordsmanship is already the first in the world and can't be an official. What's the use of us practicing martial arts with him? Shi A didn't want to be an official, let alone believed that the master who kindly took him in was a despicable villain. He just liked kendo, so he stayed.
Wang Yue has never married a wife and has no children under his knees. Only Shi A, a considerate apprentice, naturally teaches him wholeheartedly and teaches him unique skills. Seeing that Shi A gradually grew up and learned his own skills, Wang Yue seemed to see what he looked like when he was young.
Wang Yue felt that his life was like this. Although he had no children, he was satisfied with such a good apprentice as Shi'a. But he didn't want to see Shi A go his old way. He hoped that this apprentice could get ahead, make a career, and then marry a good wife and have several children. It is better to let these children call themselves grandfather and pass on their lifelong swordsmanship to these children, and they will die without regret.
