Seeing that Concubine Yuan was in a hurry, Bai Ziyue hurriedly apologized to Jiang Chen: "Concubine Yuan is the concubine of Emperor Yang Pan, and she can't leave the palace for a long time, but it makes Brother Jiang smile!"

"It doesn't matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "It was Jiang who came presumptuously, but fortunately you didn't see it and talked with you for half a night, it was Jiang who almost delayed the big event of the Yuan Concubine girl, speaking of which, Jiang apologized." ”

"Where. ”

Bai Ziyue hurriedly said: "Although we are new acquaintances, we have talked overnight, and we are like old friends, friends, visiting each other, how can we take the liberty of saying it?"

Tu Lao also said: "Mr. has a great favor with my clan, and I also ask Mr. to stay for a few more days, so that we can enter the friendship of the landlord." ”

"Well said, well said. ”

Jiang Chen did not shirk this, because he knew very well that it would not be long before the person he was waiting for would arrive, and at that time, it would be the moment when his revenge plan would begin.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was a guest in the valley, Bai Ziyue never left, and for a few days in a row, he either talked with Jiang Chen about the wind and the moon, or talked about the Tao and fighting methods, which made him admire Jiang Chen a little.

On this day, the two were playing against each other on a big rock in the valley, Jiang Chen suddenly thought about it, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yuan is here!"

The voice fell, and I saw a woman in red with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy coming to the valley, the woman in red was very beautiful, not the concubine, who was coming?

Bai Ziyue looked at the young man brought by Concubine Yuan, and asked with a surprised face: "Concubine Yuan, how can you still have the leisure to find such a young scholar to come over?"

Concubine Yuan smiled and responded: "My clansmen need a teacher to teach them to read and write, and understand the reason, this young man looks bold, so when I passed by Qiuyue Temple, I brought him over!"

Bai Ziyue was stunned.

Jiang Chen looked at the young man behind Concubine Yuan who pretended to be calm with interest, he knew that this was the person he was waiting for, and after a few days, there was no waste after all.

I saw that the young scholar bowed his hand slightly, and introduced himself: "Xiaosheng Hongyi, I have met the two, this girl brought me here to teach people to read, could it be that she is the son and daughter of the two brothers?"

When Jiang Chen heard this, he smiled strangely on his face: "It's not my and Brother Bai's children, but the clansmen of Concubine Yuan!"

When Hong Yi heard this, he turned his head and looked at Concubine Yuan in surprise, he knew that Concubine Yuan was a woman in the palace, because he gave him a gratuity when he came, ten taels of red gold a month.

Seventy percent of gold is cyan, eighty percent of gold is yellow, ninety percent of gold is purple, and ten percent of gold is red. This kind of red gold can only be burned out by the Taoist priests who make alchemy, and this kind of red gold, also known as "medicinal gold", is a medicinal material for Taoist priests to practice lead and mercury and practice Jindan. And if this kind of red gold is a coin, it is only available in the royal palace. Generally, the emperor and empress rewarded the ministers of civil and military affairs, or the concubines of the harem.

Yes, at that time, Hong Yi knew that Concubine Yuan must have come out of the palace, and her identity must have been golden and noble, but how could Concubine Yuan's people live in such a simple valley, and besides, there doesn't seem to be any houses here, so they don't live in caves, right?

As if guessing Hong Yi's thoughts, Concubine Yuan smiled softly and called a few times to the depths of the valley, and suddenly a group of white foxes rushed out and squeaked around Concubine Yuan.

Seeing this, Hong Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "This Yuan Concubine girl invited me here, isn't it to teach these foxes to read? ”

However, although this thing looks outrageous, the fact is that it is, Concubine Yuan smiled: "It seems that you have guessed it, that's right, I invited you here just to teach these foxes to read, what's the matter, isn't Mr. scared?"

"This ........."

Seeing Hong Yi's hesitation, Concubine Yuan immediately smiled and said, "What, are you scared?"

"Man and beast are all living beings, so what is there to be afraid of. ”

Although he was a little scared in his heart, Hong Yi would not show his bottom easily, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was quite interesting to teach a group of foxes to read and learn the truth, not to mention that there was a salary of ten taels of red gold a month, and it only took a few months for the cost of his own reading exam to come out, and he calmed down at the moment: "It is only the sages who make the beasts understand the truth." I don't have the qualifications, but it's okay to be a sage for a while. ”

And just like that, there was another guest in the valley.

Although Jiang Chen can read and write, he doesn't have the patience to teach a group of foxes to read and read, so Bai Ziyue occasionally takes care of it these days, and when Hong Yi came here, Bai Ziyue became the shopkeeper and threw the affairs of teaching and reading and teaching the little fox to Hong Yi.

Of course, as a reward, the books in the cave could be read by him, and even Bai Ziyue asked Hong Yi to sort out the books and arrange them neatly, and he also gave Hong Yi a reward of ten taels of red gold.

Although Bai Ziyue was very knowledgeable, he was busy discussing the Tao with Jiang Chen, so how could he have the spare time to sort out the books, so these books were stacked in a cave room.

can not only study, but also get paid, such a good thing Hong Yi will naturally not shirk.

On this day, Hong Yi was sorting out the books, and suddenly found two big books among the many books, one "Wujing" and one "Tao Jing", each of which had dozens of thick volumes, which made him pounce directly like a treasure, for these two big books, he had wanted to read them for a long time.

These two books were compiled when the Great Qian Dynasty was founded: the "Martial Classics" is a book compiled by the world's martial arts, and the "Tao Jing" is a book of cultivation compiled by the world's Taoist books.

Hong Yi has read the notes of many readers, and once described in detail the situation when these two books were compiled: the Daqian Dynasty at that time collected books from all over the world and filled the entire country's library, and at the same time compiled thousands of people, including major martial arts masters, Taoism Taishang Dao, Zhengyi, Fang Xiandao, and some leaders of Buddhism participated in it.

It is a pity that not a few years after the compilation of these two books, the Daqian Dynasty immediately banned the engraving, and at the same time collected the books that had already been published from the people and burned them in one fell swoop.

Subsequently, under the slogan of "upholding people's hearts and abandoning heresies," the Daqian Dynasty repeatedly collected books on folk temples and overhauled classics. But there are no more books such as "Wujing" and "Tao Jing", and all of them are scriptures and meanings such as benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, righteousness and loyalty. And the Taoist books and martial arts books collected by the people were all burned.

After that, the Daqian Dynasty issued another order to strictly prohibit private boxing and stick practice among the people, and strictly control the temples and Taoist temples in the world. Twenty years ago, after the army destroyed the Great Chan Temple, the control of the civil armed forces of the Great Qian Dynasty reached a peak period.

In the past, although Hong Yi had the intention to find these two books, he could not get them. At this time, he looked at the two "Martial Classics" and "Taoist Classics" in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, "It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get them! Since there is a martial arts scripture here, I have to read it carefully and find one or two self-cultivation techniques. ”

His mind was moved, and he immediately looked through the two classics, and it was only at this time that he realized that whether it was martial arts or immortal Taoism, the ultimate purpose of cultivation was to transcend life and death, as stated at the beginning of the two scriptures:

The world is a vast ocean. When people live in the world, their physical bodies are like ships crossing the sea, and their souls are the people in the boats. Martial arts is about cultivating the physical body, which is strong and can carry people through the sea of suffering safely. And the immortal art is about the boundless sea of suffering, and the body of the ship will eventually decay, so it is better to cultivate the soul directly, as if it is to make people proficient in water, so that even if the ship is destroyed, people will not drown.

The comparison of the two cultivation methods actually has its own advantages and disadvantages, but for a scholar like Hong Yi, immortal art is more mysterious, far less real than martial arts, so after thinking about it several times, he decided to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, because only by attaching equal importance to civil and military affairs can he better achieve his goals.

With the idea of learning martial arts in his heart, Hong Yi immediately carefully studied the martial arts, read and read, and suddenly found that there were annotations in the middle of the text of the martial arts, which were obviously added by the people who read the books themselves.

"Practicing martial arts is not clear, after all, you can't sanctify the body, and you can't understand the mystery of the body, one of the acupoints of the body, such as the stars in the sky, the gods of heaven and earth live in it, if someone can understand the cultivation of the stars in the sky, then the gestures, the power is endless, the dragon throws the elephant, such as the Taoist Yang God's fusion of the gods of detachment, to achieve the realm of human immortals. Yinyue Zen Master in the 30th year of the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty Mid-Autumn FestivalNote. ”

This passage of text is obviously annotated by a monk called Yinyue Zen Master in the Great Zen Temple, and it is not profound, which means that the human body, in addition to the flesh, tendons, membranes, bones, internal organs, marrow, and blood, there are also many acupuncture points, such as the stars in the sky, in which the gods reside.

But Hong Yi is a smart man, and he knows that there are acupuncture points in his body, but he doesn't understand why there are gods living in the acupoints? Fortunately, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Chen and Bai Ziyue, who were also guests in the valley, were both cultivators, so he took a volume of martial arts scriptures and came to ask for advice.

Out of the cave room, Hong Yi saw from a distance that Jiang Chen and Bai Ziyue were playing on a stone platform, he straightened his clothes and came to the front, but saw that the two were fighting on the chessboard, and he was embarrassed to disturb, so he stood quietly aside, silently waiting for the end of the chess game, who knew that as soon as he stood still, Jiang Chen turned his head and asked him: "Little brother is not studying in the cave, why did he come here?"

Hong Yi hurriedly apologized: "Excuse me, when Xiao Sheng was sorting out the classics, he stumbled upon two scriptures, which are the martial arts scriptures and Taoist scriptures that Xiao Sheng couldn't find.

Bai Ziyue put down the white chess pieces in his hand and smiled at Hong Yi: "But it's okay to say it!"

Hong Yi opened the martial scriptures, turned to the paragraph with the commentary of the Yinyue Zen Master, pointed to the commentary of the Yinyue Zen Master and asked the two: "I can also understand this passage, but it says that the gods of heaven and earth live in the acupuncture holes, but I don't know what this means?"

Bai Ziyue's eyes swept away, and he knew which paragraph Hong Yi was reading, in fact, he had also read this martial scripture, and he also knew the commentary of Yinyue Zen Master, but he didn't care about it.

At this time, Hong Yi asked, and he immediately replied: "Originally, you haven't practiced martial arts, so you shouldn't know about this, but these are not important things, so I'll talk to you!"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then explained in detail: "The so-called acupuncture points in the body are the great secrets of the human body, containing infinite mysteries, corresponding to the stars in the sky, the so-called heaven and earth are a large universe, the human body is a small universe, and the acupuncture points in the human body are like the stars in the universe." When a martial arts practitioner reaches the realm of martial arts, he begins to comprehend the fist intent, condense the fist intent into the subtleties, sense the acupoints in the body, and open them, so that he can cultivate incredible supernatural powers and achieve immortals among people!"

Hearing Bai Ziyue's explanation, many doubts in Hong Yi's heart were solved, and he slowly chewed Bai Ziyue's words, wanting to imprint every word of Bai Ziyue's words into his heart.

Jiang Chen saw Hong Yi's thoughtful expression, as if he was memorizing Bai Ziyue's words, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Asking so clearly, could it be that the little brother wants to learn martial arts?"

When Hong Yi heard this, he came back to his senses and thought of his purpose, not only to be admitted to the first-class jinshi, but also to get ahead in martial arts, so that he could hope to win glory for his mother, so he immediately responded sonorously: "Xiaosheng wants to earn a glory for his mother, not only to be admitted to the Jinshi, but also to make achievements in martial arts, so Xiaosheng is extremely eager for martial arts!"

"Good!"

When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "Being able to express the utilitarian heart calmly, the little brother really deserves to be a real reader, and he is frank enough!"

"Mr. Miaozan, I dare not be ashamed. Hong Yi hurriedly responded humbly.

Jiang Chen said: "To meet in this valley, you and I are also fateful, from today onwards, every day before dawn, you can come here to find me, although Jiang is not talented, but he has made some achievements in the cultivation journey, or can guide you one or two." ”

When Hong Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Now, I will ask Mr. for more advice in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Jiang Chen responded with a smile: "You go first, eat and drink enough tonight, meditate and recuperate, and tomorrow morning, Jiang will officially teach you to cultivate." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Although Hong Yi was overjoyed, he was still not calm in his words, after all, it was just a night time, and he couldn't afford to wait.

After Hong Yi left, Bai Ziyue asked out with a little surprise: "Brother Jiang, isn't it because he has the heart to accept disciples?"

"Good talent and beautiful jade, can be met but not sought. ”

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "What's even more commendable is that this kid has never been in contact with the way of cultivation before, and he can inherit what Jiang has learned, Brother Bai might as well wait and see, this kid will definitely be able to leap into the dragon gate and turn into a dragon in the future!"
