Chapter 72(2/3)
So, he came up with the idea of finding a disciple who was intelligent and interesting.
You must know that during the Warring States Period, the reason why Qin soldiers were invincible in battles and invincible was that the Qin crossbows could shoot far!
According to the "Warring States Policy Han Ce", the maximum range of Qin Nu can reach more than 800 meters!
Of course, this is a bit bragging!
The picture drawn by Guan Lin is of the Qin crossbow's "pushing crossbow", which requires the use of pedals and the strength of the whole body to wind the crossbow. The process in the picture alone exceeds a hundred steps.
The first thing he said when he saw Guan Lin was, "Liu Xiang's "Warring States Policy" is not rigorous. It is actually a random fabrication. How can Qin's crossbow shoot 800 steps? At most 450 steps!"
Of course, Guan Lin's purpose was just to make the old man retreat.
"I can't teach you the art of war and strategy!"
Guan Lin was stunned and asked quickly: "What's the point?"
Now, as he grows older, after traveling around the world for several years, and his only daughter is no longer around, Huang Chengyan suddenly feels a sense of endless loneliness and isolation.
The old man just put away the drawings and left without saying a word.
Because the young man picked up shoes for him six times and wore them six times.
At first, Guan Lin didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was an old man who accidentally dropped his shoe off the bridge and was waiting for help from kind-hearted people.
"You are being unreasonable!" The old man refused, "Have you ever read "Zheng Ren Buys Shoes"? I didn't let the old man try on my feet, but just took the size to buy shoes. Can I buy shoes that fit my feet?"
But Huang Chengyan didn't like vulgar things or temples. He was only interested in the unique craftsmanship and craftsmanship.
The old man's eyes were sure. He stroked his beard and said quibly: "These are just pawns of traffickers, stupid men and idiots, without wisdom... I don't like them."
If he hadn't worn a red scarf on his chest, he would have felt that the red scarf had become more vivid!
As a result...from then on, the old man never appeared at "Desheng Bridge" again.
The old man looked at Guan Lin with disdain, "You, the young master of Guan Mansion, have never read a book? Don't you know the story of Zhang Liang, the marquis who picked up shoes at the bridge, in the "Historical Records" compiled by Sima Qian?"
But on the third day, the old man came again. He said they were still not as comfortable as the original pair.
——"Is this the third test?"
It seems that even now, he still cannot accept the fact that human feet are "small in the morning and big in the evening".
only…
This is no longer a matter of disrespecting the elderly, this is a matter of the "bad guys" getting older!
Guan Lin reluctantly bought him another pair.
The old man's original arrogance and stubbornness disappeared, as if he was covered in huge surprise.
This has also become the most prosperous and lively place in Jiangling City!
Guan Lin pointed to his feet and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, right? People's feet are bigger in the morning and smaller at night. If you buy shoes at night, they will naturally be smaller, and if you buy shoes in the morning, they will naturally be bigger. Shouldn't we learn from Zheng Ren?"
, measure it at noon and get the middle value, otherwise if you buy a bigger one or a smaller one, where can you refund my money?"
This old man's outlook on life has been subverted.
Fortunately, Guan Lin didn't know martial arts, otherwise, his clenched fist would have knocked the old man to the ground.
Even after I put on the shoes for the old man, the old man not only didn't appreciate it, he kept shaking his head, and threw the shoes into the shallows under the bridge without following the routine, saying "it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit..."
Although there are many scholars, interesting disciples are difficult to find.
He pointed at the old man and cursed: "You old dog deceived my good heart, you are a scoundrel!"
Speaking of this, he pretended to be profound and said: "Liuhou Zhang Liang didn't just pick up and put on shoes, he also experienced four meetings with the 'Old Man on the Shang' before he was able to pass on the "Tai Gong's Art of War"!"
Guan Lin smiled and said, "Don't talk about it. In the past twenty days, not even a hundred people have picked up shoes for you, but eighty. From the time I sat there, in the past ten days, at least seventeen people have picked up two shoes for you."
Second shoes! There was also a fool... ah no, there was a Confucian scholar who picked it up for you six times, but what did you pass on to them? You passed on loneliness!"
It seemed that when it came to the things he was good at, he changed his past rudeness and became more elegant in his speech.
The old man said harshly, "Just watch..."
Then there were ten days and twenty days, when Guan Lin thought that the old man couldn't do it, that he had no shame to see him again, and that the world was at peace.
Guan Lin thought he was scared, and said sternly, "It's still too late to give up now."
The old man asked, "Why don't you follow the rules?"
The old man stroked his beard and leaned on his donkey.
Speaking of this, Guan Lin asked tentatively: "Don't fool me with a copy of "Tai Gong's Art of War". I know more about the art of war than you!"
In return, he is willing to teach others all his unique skills and skills.
Not long after, the young Confucian scholar left cursing...
It seemed that the powerful "Qin Nu" had been "lost" in this era. When the old man got the "manufacturing diagram", his eyes glowed green.
He felt that he had done another good thing.
Desheng Bridge also lacks this "weird" scenery.
He looked at his feet in a daze, and then stared blankly at the newly measured size, and for a moment he fell into a huge confusion.
Perhaps, he is an expert from outside the world, and there is no guarantee... If a young man can withstand the test, he will be gifted a martial arts secret book, military strategy, and so on.
Otherwise, he would never argue like this with an old man.
In the evening, when Guan Lin went out, the old man was still there.
"What's wrong?" Guan Lin asked back.
Cai Xi had a son and two daughters, among whom the 'son' was Cai Mao, who once served as governor of Jingzhou's army. His two daughters were married to Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao respectively.
I can usually talk to him, talk about Qimen Dunjia, talk about hundreds of craftsmanship, and relieve my boredom...
It would be better if Guan Lin didn't say this...
Once this idea emerged, Guan Lin felt that this old man was quite extraordinary...
Of course, thinking about it afterwards, Guan Lin was very lucky.
He smiled and said, "In the future, no one will pick up shoes anymore."
Guan Lin walked up to him very politely, "I remember the story of 'Zheng Renmai', which means that you can't be too rigid in doing things and only believe in dogma. Old man, old man, have you understood it? Zheng Renmai"
Is it right or wrong to wear shoes? What you focus on is his feet, have you ever tried your own feet for a moment!"
On the other hand, Guan Lin found that the old man ignored him and just kept smiling, like a fool.
——This guy can also make blueprints?
Agree immediately…
Before time travel, Guan Lin worked as a "Baidu Encyclopedia". Wouldn't he know this?
"All kinds of tricks!" The old man said calmly and confidently, not like he was trying to fool people.
If he doesn't give up, he won't be able to give up.
"Your sister!" Guan Lin didn't care whether the old man could understand or not, and retorted directly: "The shoes don't fit at all!"
Because it was not a big deal, his actions naturally did not attract too many people's attention, but it left the old man on the bridge stunned.
But, right here, something strange and a strange person appeared.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang asked him to come out many times, but he always refused.
He just changed his place. He started to lead the donkey and guard the gate of Guan Mansion with a disheveled look. He kept guard for a whole day. He told everyone that the young master of the Guan family had thrown away his shoes and he wanted to make the young master of the Guan family pay compensation.
shoe!
Then, he turned around and left gracefully.
Guan Lin thinks this old man is quite funny...
Guan Lin asked the old man patiently, "Just tell me what you want? You don't want money, you have to want something else, right?"
Guan Lin quickly threw away the old man's arm, "Don't... look for your disciples elsewhere, I won't be your disciple! Besides, you haven't even understood the word 'Zheng Ren Buying Lu'? We two
Who teaches whom?”
And this was the origin of Guan Lin's acquaintance with him.
But after the old man left, he came back the next day and quit, saying that these shoes were not as comfortable as the original pair of straw sandals.
It was a good thing that he didn't know martial arts, otherwise the old man fell to the ground and said, "The young master of the Guan family hit someone, and I don't know how much trouble he would have caused."
Who would have thought that this old man said that he didn't want anything, he just wanted some truth.
"From morning to night, measure and see if there is any change in the size of your feet!"
But as he came more and more often, Guan Lin noticed that this "old man" was there every day. He also found that many young Confucian scholars would pick up shoes for the old man, and then the old man would let these Confucian scholars put them on for him.
The implication is to ask him why Guan Lin doesn't play according to the routine?
Guan Lin asked, "What are the rules?"
Guan Lin's eyes were fixed, "Not just any cat or dog can be my master. Cheng, since you are so confident, then tomorrow morning, I will draw a blueprint. If you can make it according to this blueprint,
To be continued...
