Chapter 203: Wudang Disciple
(8 points)
On the second day, after making preparations, the convoy set off again.
Zhengliang and Wang Hai walked together. Behind Zhengliang were only Liu Le and Ming Feng Xiuzheng. Kinoshita Masanao was entrusted with the important task of managing the cottage by the political conscience, and temporarily stayed in the cottage; Yoshida Shigemasa was fascinated by the study of the newfound bow and arrow, and decided to stay in the cottage to practice archery; Ah Guda was tortured by the bandits for more than a month, and there were bruises on his body, and he needed to stay in the cottage to recuperate, of course, according to him, he stayed in the mountains to accompany the dead Haidongqing "Xiaoqing".
For Ah Guda not to follow, Masahiro was also secretly relieved. Masara was really afraid that he would follow, and with his huge size and appearance that was obviously different from that of the southerners, it was completely certain that no matter where Masara went, he would be the focus of the people around him. This is contrary to the original intention of Zhengliang to act in a low-key manner, but fortunately, Aguda has not fully recovered from his grief, otherwise with his character of repaying kindness, he will inevitably follow Zhengliang as a full-time guard.
It was already early morning, and along the way, Masara encountered several caravans rushing to the morning road. Judging from their calm expressions, they were completely unaware that the road was on this mountain road, and there had been several fierce battles in the previous two days. Perhaps they should be grateful to Masayo, if it weren't for Masaara's extermination of the bandits entrenched in the vicinity, it is estimated that these small caravans would have suffered.
The scenery along the way is also quite beautiful, Zhengliang while communicating with Wang Hai, while enjoying the scenery along the way, unconsciously half an hour has passed, at this time the team finally walked out of a little narrow mountain road. Standing at the exit of the mountain road and looking out, I saw that there was an open flat land in front of me, and although there were still many trees, it was clear that I had stepped out of the mountains.
Not far from the mountain road to the sea, through the dense woods, you can vaguely see that there seem to be some houses inside, and it seems to be a small village. At the exit of the village road to the official road, there is a tea stall. According to the calculation method of later generations, it should be past 10 o'clock in the morning, and the sun has come out. After walking for an hour or two, the merchants walked to the tea stall to drink a cup of tea, take a short rest, and then enter the mountain road in high spirits.
"Your Royal Highness Zhengliang, the brothers have walked the mountain road for a morning, do you want to rest for a while?" At this time, Wang Hai walked over and asked softly.
"It's exactly what I want, it's up to Brother Wang Hai to decide," Zhengliang arched his hand and said.
After consulting Zhengliang's opinion, Wang Hai immediately went down to make arrangements. When they learned that they could take a break, everyone was overjoyed, and everyone was indeed a little tired after walking for so long. But there was one person who surprised Masarashi (if he had glasses). This person is Liu Le.
No matter what era, the first impression given by scholars is that they are weak. Of course, this refers to most of the scholars in the imperial examination, after all, there are also some people who are both civil and military. But Liu Le looked calm and relaxed at the moment, even more energetic than those Wang Hai's subordinates. You must know that Wang Hai's subordinates have come and gone in the wind and rain on the sea, and they have been trained in copper skin and iron bones, and now they are also tired, but Liu Le is very energetic, which makes Zhengliang have to look at each other.
"Hehe, does Your Highness think it's strange?" Noticing Zhengliang's strange eyes, Liu Le smiled and asked.
"Indeed," Masarashi said, nodding.
"When His Majesty was young, he once studied martial arts with a Wudang Taoist priest who traveled to His Majesty's hometown, and he was barely a lay disciple of Wudang," Liu Le said.
"Do you know martial arts swordsmanship?" Masara was amazed. It turned out that this staff member next to him actually knew martial arts.
"Hehe, Your Highness, Your Majesty has only followed the master to learn art for half a year, and then the master continued to travel, so the martial arts of the subordinates can barely defend themselves," Liu Le said with a guilty face. In fact, he also regrets it a little now, if he insisted on practicing, he would not have been captured by those bandits and trapped in the mountains for months. …,
"Do you know the Wudang Danjutsu?" Zhengliang found that there was a Wudang heir by his side, of course, he took the opportunity to find out. Now the Ming Dynasty Danshu is prevalent, especially the emperor of the dynasty, he is even more obsessed with the elixir of immortality, so he is superstitious about Dandao, and has created a lot of unjust cases and confused cases.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty once heard the master say that the way of alchemy that prevails today has long been contrary to the right path, and the master once said, 'Refining the nature before refining the pill, cultivating the heart before cultivating the great medicine, the heart is determined to be natural and the Dan is believed, and the temperament is then the medicinal herb is born', and the inner pill is formed by refining the essence, returning the gold liquid to the pill, and collecting the medicine to seal it. But what is prevalent today is to directly refine the elixir, and it is obviously impossible to replace the real way of alchemy with medicine", Liu Le thought about it for a moment and replied.
After hearing this, Zhengliang agreed with Liu Le's master's comment. When Taoist alchemy has a long history, especially Neidan. Neidan is the use of breathing and breathing exercises, refining qi into Dan, in order to achieve physical fitness, longevity and longevity. However, people in the world are trying to find shortcuts, vainly trying to use the so-called panacea to achieve the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, which is obviously a waste of money.
"Wudang can have tai chi?" Masara threw out the question he had always wanted to ask. In later generations, Tai Chi was a well-known boxing technique for strengthening the body, and its reputation even spread overseas. Now he suddenly returned to the Ming Dynasty, which founded Taijiquan, and there happened to be a Wudang lay disciple by his side, and Zhengliang was of course asking the truth.
"I heard what the master said, it is indeed a set of 13 styles of Taijiquan, created by the ancestor Zhang Sanfeng, but unfortunately his subordinates have poor muscles and bones, and they are not fortunate enough to learn this boxing technique," Liu Le said.
What the? Is there really Zhang Sanfeng? Masara was taken aback, he had always thought that the movie and the character in the novel in his previous life were fictional, but now it seems that this is not the case. Since there is really such a person, Zhengliang of course took the opportunity to find out, so he continued to ask Liu Le about Wudang's information.
But in fact, Liu Le is just an ordinary lay disciple, and he is very clear about the information in Wudang, so Zhengliang had to regretfully give up his plan to continue to investigate.
Since Liu Le's knowledge of Wudang Dao is indeed limited, and even martial arts have only learned some basic introductory skills of Wudang, such as standing on piles, so the discussion on Wudang martial arts ends here.
"His Royal Highness Zhengliang, please come here" Wang Hai picked a place at the tea stall and bowed his hand to Zhengliang.
Masara was not polite and sat down on a stool. Liu Le and Ming Fengxiu were standing behind them.
"Two guest officers, please use tea", Xiao Er of the tea stall quickly served two cups of tea.
Since he was indeed a little thirsty, Masahiro picked up the tea and drank the cow.
"The guest officer can taste it slowly, it is the most famous 'grandma tea' in this tea stall", seeing Zhengliang drinking a lot of cows, Xiao Er reminded softly, as if he was afraid that Zhengliang would not be able to taste the taste.
"Poof" After hearing Xiao Er's introduction, Masaliang, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, and then coughed. Is this grandma tea? Zhengliang was taken aback. In my impression, Apo tea is the famous tea of Zhouzhuang, the ancient town of Suzhou, how did it appear outside such a mountain?
"Guest officer, but the tea doesn't taste good?" Seeing Zhengliang suddenly squirt out a sip of tea, Xiao Er immediately became nervous. Just now he also reminded Zhengliang out of kindness, but he didn't expect to cause such a big reaction from this guest officer, and now he is a little scared, this is their signature tea here, don't make a mess.
"Ahem... You... You mean it's grandma tea? Masarashi asked suspiciously.
"Exactly" Xiao Er straightened his chest. There was pride in the words.
"Oh? Do you know the origin of the name of this tea? Seeing that the other party was so sure, Zhengliang decided to test the other party. Wang Hai and the others saw that Zhengliang suddenly became interested in this tea, and they also listened attentively on the side. …,
"I don't know what to say about this," Xiao Er smirked when he heard this. Then he introduced himself to the people.
"Are you guests accidentally satisfied with the tea at this tea stall?" Just when the guy was there to introduce everyone in a loud voice. The owner of the tea stall saw that the guy arrived at the tea table where Zhengliang was delivering tea, so he kept standing there and muttering, and the owner of the tea stall, who was afraid that the guy would offend the guests, hurriedly came over.
"Hehe, this brother here is just suddenly interested in the tea here," Wang Hai said with a smile.
"That's really an honor for this tea stall," said the owner of the tea stall happily.
"The shopkeeper is also involved in tea art?" At this time, Masato continued to ask. Masara looked at the owner of the tea stall, who was obviously dressed as a literati, but he was selling tea, which was really interesting. If he is seen by the old-fashioned literati, this boss will definitely attract an angry scolding.
"Let the guest officer smile" The shopkeeper didn't seem to care about this dress, but continued to follow Zhengliang's question, "On September 16, the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (that is, in 1391 AD), Ming Taizu (that is, Zhu Yuanzhang) issued an edict to abolish the group tea and replace it with tribute leaf tea (loose tea). It is indeed a commendable thing, with heavy labor and people's strength, the dragon group is stopped, but the bud tea is entered. Press the spices and pound them into fine cakes, which have distorted the taste. Today's people only take the essence of the first sprout, draw the spring and place the ding, sip it in a flash, and then open the sect of tea and drink through the ages. ”
The shopkeeper simply sat down on the stool at Masahiro's table and began to talk about the tea ceremony. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )……,
