It's almost March, and the air is already filled with the smell of spring. The capital is to the north, a place where spring is delayed, but after continuous sunny days, it still quickly enters the mode of spring.

The green willows on the banks of the Bianhe River look like green smoke from a distance, and the number of boats on the water has increased a lot. Many of the rivers in the north have melted ice, and the waterways, which have been held back for a winter, have been opened, so boats are busy coming and going. In the market, the people changed out of thick winter clothes, put on light medium clothes, and began to enjoy the joy of the arrival of spring. The excellent scenery of the major scenic spots has also been full of people, and there is an endless stream of people going out of the city.

Lin Jue's house was as peaceful as ever. The brief chaos caused by Lin Jue's expulsion from the division in early February has long since subsided. Green Dance and the others didn't care about Lin Jue's official position, they just hoped to live a stable life with Lin Jue, watching Lin Jue's mentality gradually calm down, and it seemed that they had forgotten the unpleasant things, and they were also at ease.

Lin Jue has indeed been much more stable recently, and there is nothing to do in the Chongzheng Palace, and Lin Jue has a lot of free time. For a period of time after beating the two bachelors, Lin Jue, in order not to let people find trouble, went back and forth according to the time in a regular manner. This boring time in the public house also made Lin Jue's heart really calm. He carefully combed through the recent situation, and felt that he should not be trapped in the capital anymore, because he might not have much chance in the capital. Therefore, he finally agreed to Guo Kun and was willing to ask him to come forward to carry out activities and find a state and county near the capital to take up a post. In this way, you can not only take care of the business in the capital, but also leave the capital with your family without labor.

What's more, people move the living tree to die, since there is no chance in the capital, why not give yourself a chance. However, this matter has to be discussed with the little county lord, Lin Jue has already communicated with the little county lord, and has made an appointment to return to Hangzhou at the end of April to take the little county lord back to the capital. A decision will be made at that time.

Except for Lin Jueguan's bad luck and his reputation for being expelled from the division by his teacher, the other people around Lin Jue are all very nourishing.

The two grand theaters in Beijing are doing thriving business, and the Nancheng Grand Theater where Xie Yingying is sitting is full every day. Xie Yingying's fame has been extremely loud in the capital, surpassing those top brands in the flower world in the capital. At the same time, fame also brought some trouble, and many princes and grandsons wanted to do something, but they could only sigh after all. Xie Yingying never pretended to be a resign after stepping down, and never went to any banquets and gatherings. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, although these people hate it so much, they can't think about it.

Lin Jue also often went to the jujube garden to stay overnight during this time, on the one hand, to give the two of them a chance to be alone, and on the other hand, to carefully teach Xie Yingying to write a script. Xie Yingying is very obsessed with this matter now, and Lin Jue is also doing what she likes. Lin Jue told Xie Yingying that he planned to marry her and let her live a comfortable life. The Grand Theater let the rookies she trained replace her, and Lin Jue didn't want her to work so hard.

But unexpectedly, Xie Yingying said that she didn't find the performance bitter. Although she is indeed busy and tired, she has fallen in love with this profession and does not plan to fade away anytime soon. She enjoys it, and doesn't want to live idle so soon.

Lin Jue knew that Xie Yingying was a person with his own ideas, and he didn't want to force it. The reason why Lin Jue asked her to fade out was just that she felt very sorry to drag Xie Yingying like this. felt as if she was squeezing Xie Yingying, making her desperately earn money for herself to pay off the Lin family's debts.

Lin Jue told Xie Yingying what he thought, and Xie Yingying poked Lin Jue's nose and smiled: "You think too much, I just want to act." Besides, even if it's for the sake of the Lin family's debts, so what? At least I'm more popular, and I can really earn more money. Wouldn't it be good to get the Lin family out of debt as soon as possible? ”

Lin Jue was speechless by what she said. In fact, under Lin Jue's urging, Xie Yingying has already cultivated two successors, and it is okay to let them take over at this moment. Although there will be some loss of popularity, the Jiangnan Grand Theater has never relied on pillars to attract people, but on comprehensive means. But since Xie Yingying said so, Lin Jue didn't want to say anything, just made an appointment with her for three chapters, asking Xie Yingying to reduce the number of performances, and let the newcomers also go on. It's also good to make the transition slowly. Xie Yingying readily agreed to this reasonable request.

Bai Bing's recent life has also been very moist, he has been nourished by love, and his life is stable and comfortable. Lin Jue inadvertently said something about her martial arts in the Demon Sound Sect one day, which actually aroused Bai Bing's strong interest.

After Lin Jue watched Bai Bing practice martial arts in the back garden that day, he half-jokingly said something to Bai Bing. When Lin Jue saw Bai Bing and the Zuo brothers in front of the Grand Theater for the first time, he used a set of martial arts that were born from poetry. Later, I learned that Xu Hezi, the first singer of the Tang Dynasty, the ancestor of the Demon Sound Gate, was inspired by the singing poems, so as to create martial arts according to the rhythm of the poems, and create the martial arts of the Demon Sound Gate. Although not all poems can be used as martial arts, and it takes some kind of fit to become a powerful set of martial arts, it is a very good direction.

Lin Jue said to Bai Bing: Since the kung fu of the Demon Sound Gate can be created with poems as music rhythms, maybe it can be developed in this direction. For example, is it possible to increase the fit of the creative martial arts with a strong sense of rhythm, so as to achieve the effect that a poem is a set of martial arts? In that case, wouldn't it be possible to create thousands of martial arts routines to make up for the regret that it is difficult to practice the 'Three Great Sacred Songs', the highest martial arts of the Demon Sound Sect now. It is to use the martial arts with changeable routines to make up for the lack of internal skills, so as to achieve a more refined effect of martial arts.

When Lin Jue said this, Bai Bing began to laugh at Lin Jue for not understanding the way of martial arts. Especially the martial arts of the Demon Sound Gate, the most common thing is actually a routine, and the deepest part is to urge it with internal force, and hurt people with music. The reason why the three sacred songs of the Demon Sound Gate exist like a mountain is because they need to be based on extremely profound internal skills and diffuse in the music, so as to achieve the effect of killing people invisibly.

Bai Bing said that she had heard her master's description of the situation in which Xu Hezi, the founding ancestor of the sect, killed people with sacred songs. When Xu Hezi was far away from the imperial court and escaped in the Zhongnan Mountain, Yang Guozhong, the then Tang Dynasty Xiangguo, wanted Xu Hezi to go out of the mountain and sang music for him in his Xiangguo Mansion for fun. He inquired about Xu Hezi's residence in Zhongnan Mountain, so he sent someone to invite him. Xu Hezi naturally refused to serve Yang Guozhong, so Yang Guozhong sent dozens of masters with the intention of forcibly kidnapping Xu Hezi. So on the Immortal Peak of Zhongnan Mountain, a bloody battle broke out.

In that fight, Xu Hezi stood under the bright moon on the top of the mountain, and made dozens of masters bleed on the spot with a song "Song of the Moon Shadow Flower Soul", and the scene was tragic. Since then, Yang Guozhong has died of this heart, because the situation described by the living person when he came back made Yang Guozhong think that Xu Hezi was a demon in the world. Don't dare to provoke her again. It is said that Xu Hezi played a song at that time, and dozens of masters who flew in the air fell like fallen leaves on the rocks on the hillside. A dozen masters who barely managed to reach the summit almost lost their minds, and finally managed to roll down the hill to escape. In that battle, he didn't even touch the corners of Xu Hezi's clothes.

Bai Bing said that at that time, the patriarch Xu Hezi had just realized the supreme realm of using internal force to urge the sound of music to kill. After that, Xu Hezi sneaked into cultivation and traveled all over the world, and with the improvement of internal force and the deepening of epiphany, she created "The Song of Flying Snow in the Sky" in the desert north of the desert, and "The Song of Quicksand Wind Whispering" in the Hanhai Desert, which became the three holy songs at the bottom of the magic sound gate. And since then, he has founded the unique school of the Demon Sound Gate. And using poetry and music as a move to defend against the enemy is actually Xu Hezi's simplest comprehension, and it can only be regarded as a relatively low-level martial art in the Demon Sound Sect. Generations of masters of the Demon Sound Sect have adhered to the teachings of the previous generation, taking the cultivation of the internal skills of the Demon Sound Sect as the key, and taking pride in being able to glimpse the power of the three holy songs. Because that is the only way to get a glimpse of the pinnacle of this sect's peerless learning. And what Lin Jue said today is exactly a fork in the road. No matter how well you practice the moves, after all, you will cultivate externally, and you can't cultivate inside, so you still go inferior.

Lin Jue didn't have too many opinions after listening to her words, after all, in the way of martial arts, Lin Jue was just a layman.

A long time ago, Lin Jue always thought that the so-called internal force in martial arts was a far-fetched theory. There is no internal force at all. But when Lin Jue witnessed Bai Yushuang killing people with the sound of the piano in the ruined temple, Lin Jue completely changed his mind. Seeing is believing, and there must be such a thing as internal force. Lin Jue thought about it carefully, that Xu Hezi, the ancestor of the Demon Sound Sect, was just a singer, and it seemed to be a joke to comprehend martial arts and internal force cultivation. But Lin Jue soon realized that perhaps his understanding of the world was not enough, and he made subjective assumptions. But anyone who is outstanding in singing must not rely on a good voice, but need the support of various breaths and the power of dantian. As the saying goes, when a person sings a song, 'the aftersound lingers around the beam for three days without stopping', it must be the music that is deeply rooted in the mind, which is both penetrating and seductive. The so-called Zhongqi is complete, and the singing voice of a person with weak qi is definitely two different things.

The more skilled the singer, the more complete his qi must be, and the breath of breathing will be smoother. The high and low voice of the voice rises and falls in the heart, which means that there is sufficient inner cultivation knowledge. Lin Jue believes that the conditioning of this breath and the so-called middle qi are actually a disguised internal force. It's invisible, but it's visible in the sound.

Lin Jue even thought about it further, and thought about the so-called principle that internal force can be attached to singing to spread hurt. Internal forces may exist, but it seems to be a bit nonsense to attach to the song and use it to hurt people. But Lin Jue also quickly figured it out. A good singer can make you laugh, make you cry, cheer you up, and make you decadent. Why is that? That is the simplest transmission of internal forces. The so-called feelings in the song are actually the result of internal forces. Otherwise, an ordinary singing voice has no emotion, and the listener will not have any feelings.

However, the cultivation and refinement of internal strength is by no means an overnight achievement. Generally speaking, it is the result of years of growth, accumulation of experience, and accumulation over many years. Lin Jue means that internal force cultivation is important, but if there are more routines, it is not a way. It's like the truth of arming the Wild Goose Army at the beginning. To quickly improve a person's strength, it is often the simplest and rude way to start with armor and equipment, and with sharp blades and weapons, you can quickly improve your combat effectiveness. If the true word law can be integrated into the martial arts of the Demon Sound Gate, it will not hurt, just like carrying a few more sharp blades on the body, it will definitely improve the strength. Lin Jue also did not mean to belittle his inner cultivation.

Lin Jue told Bai Bing what he meant, and Bai Bing thought about it and felt that it seemed to make some sense. So I decided to give it a try. This trial is amazing, she actually fell into it, and pondered the grass in the back garden every day, as if she was in a demon. Lin Jue was speechless and regretted this, he just said it casually, who would have expected that Bai Bing would fall into it. If it weren't for Bai Bing's usual conversation and laughter, which would only be the case when she went to study, Lin Jue would have been worried that she would go crazy. However, it is also a good thing that a person can indulge in one thing, Lin Jue thinks, at least it is better than being idle, like a canary.

Green Dance has been invited into the palace several times recently, all at the invitation of that Rong Guifei. Every time, Concubine Rong was very kind to her and rewarded her with a lot of things. Food, clothing, wearing, and wearing, a reward is a lot. Every time Green Dance came back, Lin Jue carefully asked her about the details in the palace, asked Concubine Rong about every question she said to Green Dance, and pondered carefully.

The more he pondered, the more frightened Lin Jue became. Because Lin Jue felt more and more that something was wrong. This Concubine Rong is too good to Green Dance, and it is not an ordinary favorite at all. One can even use doting to describe everything she does to Midori Dance. Green Dance has the qualifications to sit with her and eat at the same table. And Green Dance said that she hugged herself several times to talk, which made Green Dance feel very embarrassed. Midori Dance wondered if the lady had any special hobbies. Lin Jue shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: What kind of special hobby is this, obviously I love you to the extreme. This is by no means as simple as the reunion of the daughter of the deceased, and the bold suspicion in Lin Jue's heart seems to be being confirmed.

But Lin Jue couldn't reveal a word, and when Green Dance asked himself why this lady was so good to him, Lin Jue only used words. Because everything is speculation, and this speculation has no basis, it seems extremely bizarre and absurd. Unless there is evidence to prove it, or someone knows the secret behind this, Lin Jue will finally believe that speculation. Before that, Lin Jue could only keep his thoughts in his mind.

As March passed, the controversy in the court over the new law seemed to have gradually calmed down under the weight of the holy will. But in fact, many people know in their hearts that this is only a temporary peace. The matter was not resolved. The "Conscription Law", which was implemented by the forcible suppression of the Holy Lord, has already aroused public anger among the officials and gentry, and this anger has only been temporarily stopped, and it is unknown when it will erupt again. But, at least for the time being, there is a rare calm.

On the third day of the third month of March, Lin Jue took a day off and asked Green Dance to secretly make an appointment with Huanqiu, and took several women out of the city together. It was a very comfortable day. It's just that Huanqiu is still frowning from time to time, and Lin Jue knows that she is still worried about her relationship with Mr. Fang. Lin Jue could only comfort her a few words, and there was nothing else to do.

The next morning, Lin Jue had just entered the palace and entered the public house. In front of the public house, there was a cacophony of noise. The public house handyman ran to the door to take a look, and ran back in fright, and reported to everyone with a pale face.

"Oh no, there are a lot of guards outside. I'm afraid there are dozens of people. ”

Huh? What's going on? In the public house, Lin Jue, Yang Xiu and others were stunned. This place is a remote place, and although there are guards patrolling on weekdays, there are only three or two. Most of the guards of the Forbidden Army were concentrated near the left side of the temple, and there were only a few people who were mobile here. Dozens of guards came at once, which was obviously unusual.

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door of the public house, and someone outside shouted, "Open the door, open the door quickly." What do you do when you close the door in broad daylight? ”

Master Jiang and Master Hu said in a panic: "It's amazing, it's still here that should come." Lord Lin, don't make a mistake for a while, these people are ruthless, if you resist, they will really swing a knife and cut people. Be sincere and honest. Don't mess with them. ”

Yang Xiu frowned and said, "What are these two adults?" How do you know it's Lord Lin's business? ”

Master Jiang stretched his neck and smacked his lips and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Obviously, it was the beating of Shangguan that day, and this group of people must have come to take Lord Lin. ”

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that it made sense, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jue worriedly. Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if that thing happens, there's no way." If I am really taken by them in a while, please ask Brother Yang to report to my family, so that they will not be in a hurry. ”

Yang Xiu shouted: "Brother Lin, why don't you go over the wall from behind." ”

Master Hu sneered beside him: "What kind of bad idea, this is in the big interior, after turning over this small courtyard, can you still get out of the palace wall?" Besides, if he runs away, won't we be implicated? ”

"It's just, it's a real nonsense." Master Jiang echoed.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Two adults, I said that it will not affect you, one person will do things and one person should do it, and the two of you can rest assured." ”

At the gate, the knocking on the door became more violent, and a loud shout came from outside: "What are you doing?" Why don't you open the door? Open the door. ”

Lin Jue sighed, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the public room towards the door. Yang Xiu and Jiang Hu hurriedly followed closely behind. Lin Jue came to the door and said to the handyman, "Open the door." ”

The handyman swallowed and foamed, stepped forward and pulled the bolt to open the door. There was a bang, and the door was pushed open, and then a group of soldiers rushed in, wearing armor and carrying blades, which was really violent.

"Why did it take so long to open the door? What kind of door to tie in broad daylight? A tall, male-looking soldier shouted.

"This is our public house, and we don't have the freedom to close the door and open the door? It's funny. Yang Xiu blushed and said.

"Ah, you're pretty sideways. This is the palace, under the jurisdiction of our palace front division of the Imperial Guard, I said that if I don't close the door, I won't close the door, understand? The soldier glared at Yang Xiudao.

"Hou Dutou, don't talk like that." A loud voice came from outside the door, and all the soldiers dodged to the side, but saw a forbidden army officer in armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, a short body, and blazing eyes, walking in slowly.
