Chapter 363: The Nostalgia of Xiaoyao School
Hu Qiudi squeezed his eyes and said teasingly: "Oh, so that's it. I thought you were very careful because he looked pretty good--"
"Senior sister, I'm not polite if you talk nonsense." Xue Yuting's pretty face turned slightly red, and her right hand pointed at her sword, quickly stabbing Hu Qiudi's armpit.
Hu Qiudi also used his left hand to block it.
The moment Liang Xiao and others blinked, the two of them had already fought five or six moves immediately. Their movements were so swift and changeable moves amaze them, but they always laughed and laughed like a game, and they stopped quickly.
Kong Quan coughed lightly.
Hu Qiudi turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Xue and I are free and like to play. Please don't be surprised by Elder Kong."
"The two female heroes have a deep friendship, which is enviable." Kong Quan praised and asked again: "Kong heard that in the past two years, the leader of Xue opened the mountain gate and popularized martial arts to the public. I believe that those farmers have also been taught by the noble school and learned the martial arts of the Xiaoyao school?"
"That's right." Hu Qiudi curled his smile and said seriously: "Master believes that learning martial arts can strengthen the body, strengthen courage, and not be afraid of external humiliation. Therefore, popularizing martial arts to the general public is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. So two years ago, Master announced that no matter what his origin or qualification, as long as he is determined to practice martial arts, he can come to Xiaoyao Sect to learn martial arts. At the beginning, many people didn't know, and many people didn't believe it, and they-"
Hu Qiudi looked back at the farmers who were starting to fight again: "They are all farmers in our Xiaoyao Sect's resident. They are the first to get the moon near the water and become one of the first people to learn martial arts in our Xiaoyao Sect."
"Mr. Hu, aren't you worried that these farmers will no longer be at ease to farm for the Xiaoyao Sect after learning martial arts?" Qu Laosan interrupted.
"The elders in our sect also had such worries as you did." Hu Qiudi replied confidently: "But the facts prove that such problems have not occurred so far. Moreover, these martial arts farmers have become strong and rarely get sick. The farming efficiency has improved, and they also support me more. Although they are not yet disciples of the sect, you have seen it just now, and they also know how to respect teachers and respect their teachings."
"It is really admirable that Xiaoyao Sect dares to be the first in the world, popularizes martial arts, educates the people, and benefits the country and the people!" Kong Quan praised repeatedly.
"Actually... Shaolin Temple has had similar practices for a long time. My master is also inspired by Shaolin Temple." Xue Yuting couldn't help but correct her words.
"At least no one has done this before in the Bashu martial arts world." Kong Quan was embarrassed that he said nothing wrong. He continued to ask: "Mr. Hu, don't know what the assessment they just mentioned is?"
"The people who come to my Xiaoyao Sect to learn martial arts first learned the basic martial arts taught by my Xiaoyao Sect. At this time, they are not yet the disciples of my Xiaoyao Sect." Hu Qiudi replied seriously: "I Xiaoyao Sect will assess these martial arts practitioners at the end of March and September every year. Those who can pass the assessment must be masters of the basic martial arts of my Xiaoyao Sect and lay a solid foundation. They can become outer disciples of my Xiaoyao Sect, officially obtain the quota of my Xiaoyao Sect, and continue to teach two or three more advanced Xiaoyao Sect martial arts. For these outer disciples, my Xiaoyao Sect also has more strict and meticulous assessments every year. If they perform well many times and have good character and ambition, they will be promoted to an inner disciple and become our disciple..."
After hearing Hu Qiudi's words, Lushui helped the four of you look at me and I look at you, and I was surprised.
"...Haven Hu, the way of teaching apprentices in the noble sect is very different from that of each sect." Kong Quan couldn't help expressing his doubts.
Xue Yuting said with a little proud pride: "I... Master once said that the method of collecting disciples and passing on skills in various sects is an elite... mode, a master leads two or three disciples, teaches them by example for more than ten years, and then lets him walk alone and make a name for himself... This method is time-consuming and laborious, and... not efficient. Once the apprentice is injured in practicing qigong, becomes possessed by evil spirits, or dies in battle, or even betrays the sect... all the hard work his master puts in was in vain.
My Xiaoyao School teaches the way of apprenticeship is called the school model by my master. Just like the teacher teaches in a private school, he collects dozens of children at a time and treats them equally. In order to get the teacher's attention and be recommended to go to the provincial examination, the children have to study hard. In the end, the excellent martial artists pass the assessment and become elites, and the losers are not discouraged because they can continue to participate in the next assessment. Even if some martial artists fail to pass the assessment in the end, at least he has laid a strong foundation of martial arts, which is beneficial to both himself and the court.
Under such a model, by scattering big nets to catch fish and healthy competition, we can continuously cultivate excellent disciples for the sect…”
Although there are some strange words in Xue Yuting's words, Kong Quan can still understand what she means. As the elder of the gang, he noticed a key problem: "This novel disciple recruitment of Xiaoyao Sect... Well, the mode is very good, but practicing martial arts is different from studying. It not only takes a lot of time, but also costs a lot of money. Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain continuous progress. It may cost a lot of money to recruit disciples like the noble Sect. But like those farmers just now, even if they want to practice martial arts, they may not be able to support their families after a long time..."
"Elder Kong said it well. It will cost a lot of money to practice martial arts well." Hu Qiudi replied seriously: "But since you are determined to practice martial arts, you must make some efforts, so that they can cherish the hard-earned opportunities. Moreover, the master specially created the basic martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect for these beginners. It does not cost too much money to practice them well. Once you pass the assessment and become an outer disciple, the cost of practicing the martial arts in the future will be borne by my Xiaoyao Sect.
As for those farmers who practice martial arts, although they are dressed in a cold manner, as farmers in my Xiaoyao Sect, their lives are not bad, and the sect also intends to reduce some burden on these farmers who practice martial arts..."
Kong Quan then remembered that although the Xiaoyao Sect had only been established for nearly four years, it had good fortune and had a good fortune. It spread all over Bashu. Later, it also entered the water transportation through the Feiyu Gang and had such a large area of fertile land. Xue Chang was also a warrior in the country protection, the emperor's son-in-law, and the court probably also gave a lot of care... Therefore, the Xiaoyao Sect was rich and powerful and fully capable of implementing such a so-called school-model disciple-accepting plan. It was not comparable to the Green Water Gang, which even felt nervous about maintaining the livelihood of the gang.
Thinking of this, Kong Quan suddenly became a little excited. He said with a reluctant expression: "What Hu Xiaoxia said is reasonable. Being a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect is undoubtedly the greatest expectation of these martial artists."
Zhao Ping, among the four members of the Green Water Gang, said with interest: "May I ask Hu Nuxia, how many people have passed the assessment so far and become... outer disciples of the sect?"
"No one is yet." As soon as Hu Qiudi finished speaking, he saw the other party being surprised and smiled, "This is not surprising. My Xiaoyao Sect only started teaching martial arts to the outside world two years ago. Although they are only the basic martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, if you want to practice them well, you need a lot of time to practice hard, and the assessment process is not simple. More than half of them are beginners, so it is normal that no one passed the assessment in the past two years. However, according to my observation, some people will pass the assessment this year, including the one who just talked to Yuting, who has a great chance."
"Can you come here to learn martial arts and take the assessment?" Liang Xiao asked immediately.
Hu Qiudi glanced at him and said, "Of course, some of the people who came here to learn martial arts were taught by art masters, but in the end we assessed the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect they learned. Some people did not practice well because the martial arts they originally learned and the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect conflicted with each other. Of course, this is only a few. More skilled masters have the foundation of martial arts, so they enter faster when practicing..."
Liang Xiao listened and thoughtful.
"Xiao Liang, you asked so many questions. Could it be that you want to stay here to learn martial arts?" Qu Laosan said jokingly.
Liang Xiao did not respond.
"The town you mentioned in front of me is the town you mentioned by Ms. Xue." Kong Quan changed the subject and pointed to the front and sighed: "It looks really prosperous. I didn't have so many houses when I came here!"
"Let's all get off the horse. You can't ride a horse when you enter the town, otherwise you will be punished." After Hu Qiudi finished speaking, he got off the horse first, and the others did as they did.
Everyone led their horses into the town. Although there were many pedestrians in the town, the six of them were too conspicuous. Soon a street patrol constable came up. After seeing the appearance of Hu Qiudi and Xue Yuting, they immediately filled with smiles: "It turned out to be Miss Third and Miss Five. I heard that you went to Sichuan to assist the boxing, but I didn't expect to return so soon. Things went smoothly?"
The names of Xue Chang's disciples "Miss" and "Young Master" were originally just specific titles given by people from the Xiaoyao Sect. It is logical that the court public officials like the Yamen Constable should not be like this. Their salary for performing official duties in Xiaoyao Town is given by the Xiaoyao Sect. During the holidays, the Xiaoyao Sect will also give them additional subsidies. When they are free, they can go to the martial arts practice ground to receive guidance from Hu Qiudi and others, learn the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts, and improve their abilities. Over time, many detectives and yao runners unconsciously regard themselves as part of the Xiaoyao Sect.
