Yang Kang has nine suns

Chapter 56 Arrival in Quanzhen
The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road.Looking at the western capital, he hesitated.Sadly, where the Qin and Han scriptures traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of earth.Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.

This song "Shanpo Yang·Tong Caring for the Ancients" is a Sanqu work by Yuan opera writer Zhang Yanghao.This song recalls the present and the past, from the rise and fall of the dynasties to the suffering of the people, it hits the nail on the head of the opposition between feudal rule and the masses, and shows the author's thinking about history and sympathy for the people.

And Yang Kang went from Jinan to Zhongnan Mountain, and Tongguan was also his only way. He saw the mountains and mountains all the way, and he couldn't help but think of this Yuan song. Of course, this "Yuan" will not be born again, and Yang Kang will not allow it.

Finally, when I arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I suddenly saw a stone tablet behind a thick pine tree, with long grass covering me, revealing the word "Changchun".Yang Kang's heart moved, he guessed that it was Qiu Chuji himself who carved it on the stone tablet, he walked over and brushed the grass to look, but what was engraved on the tablet was a poem written by Changchunzi Qiu Chuji, the poem said:
The sky is gray and the earth is descending, and Hu is suffering for not saving all souls.

All spirits meet each other day and night, swallowing their breath and dying speechless.

Looking up to the sky and yelling that there is no answer, everything is trivial.

An De Daqian restores chaos, avoiding teaching creation to produce elves.

Yang Kang also knew that Qiu Chuji lamented the hardships and hardships of the common people, and he didn't realize that his determination to build a big force and protect the people's livelihood deepened in his heart.

Passing the stele, and walking towards the corner of the mountain, Yang Kang saw two Quanzhen disciples guarding the mountain and inspecting the mountain. When he saw Yang Kang, he said, "Young master, please stay still, the front is the land of the Quanzhen sect. It is inconvenient for outsiders to enter."

Yang Kang didn't feel annoyed after hearing this, so he went forward and bowed, and said: "I would like to say hello to the two senior brothers. I am Yang Kang, a disciple of 'Changchunzi' Qiu Chuji. I came to Zhongnan Mountain to pay my respects to my master."

The two saw that although Yang Kang was not very old, he behaved modestly and politely, and they called him senior brother. Although they didn't know whether Yang Kang was Qiu Chuji's disciple, they were in a good mood, and one of them said, "So it's Junior Brother Yang. It is Yu Dexian, the eldest disciple of the 'Changshengzi' Liu Chuxuan, and this is Song Defang's junior disciple, but a disciple of the 'Changzhenzi' Tan Chuduantan's senior disciple."

Song Defang also bowed with his sword in his arms and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." Yang Kang also saluted.

Then Yu Dexian said again: "Since the younger brother is Qiu Shibo's disciple, Qiu Shibo must have told the younger brother about our Quanzhen School's "Quanzhen Daoge", please recite it, so that the younger brother can confirm it." .”

Yang Kang smiled slightly, and didn't get angry with him, and said: "Okay, at the beginning of the Dao, the nine orifices were opened, and the nine orifices were originally at the Weilu point. First rush from the bottom of the Yongquan foot, and then gradually reach the knees."

As soon as Yang Kang recited this sentence, Yu Dexian didn't hesitate any longer, and said happily: "You don't need to recite it, Junior Brother Song, you stay here for a while, I will lead Junior Brother Yang up the mountain, and I will be here in a while."

Song Defang responded, and Yu Dexian led the way in front of Yang Kang, and communicated with Yang Kang a lot along the way, basically asking Yang Kang when he worshiped his teacher and other trivial matters. Very happy.

Yang Kang always had troubles in his heart, and his status was respected, and few of his peers talked to him about these trivial matters, so he also had a good impression of Yu Dexian at the moment.

The two had crossed the mountain gate unknowingly. The eaves of the mountain gate were upturned, and the entire Chongyang Palace faced south in a typical symmetrical layout.

This Chongyang Palace occupies one-third of the area on the mountain. In this area, besides the disciples of the Chongyang Palace, there are dozens of families living there. These people are all the guests of the Chongyang Palace, and various tourists.

Yu Dexian introduced Yang Kang all the way, and suddenly pointed at a Taoist boy in front of him, and called out: "Junior Brother Qi, come here."

That Taoist hurried up and said to Yu Dexian, "Brother Yu, what do you want?"

Yu Dexian smiled and said: "Brother Qi, this is Yang Kang, a disciple who worshiped with you under Master Qiu's door. You are just a newcomer, so you should call him Senior Brother. Your senior brother came to find Senior Qiu, and you take him there." That’s fine, I’m going down the mountain to inspect.”

After speaking, he walked down the mountain.

After hearing this, the little Taoist boy looked over at Yang Kang, seeing Yang Kang's extraordinary appearance, he was a little surprised and said: "So you are the elder brother Yang Kang that Master often mentioned?"

Yang Kang nodded and replied with a smile: "That's right, does Master often mention me?"

The little Taoist nodded and said: "Yes, he often mentioned that his senior martial arts is superb, and he must be at the top level among the three generations of disciples. He wants to teach us to learn more from you. I have just started, so please give me your advice."

Qiu Chuji treats his disciples very strictly on weekdays, even a young Taoist who has just started, he is not surprised, he also asks senior brother Yin Zhiping for advice, but now he hears senior brother Yang Kang, a big man who is full of praise from his master, comes, so he naturally thinks To see how brave and invincible the senior brother is!

Yang Kang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, what's your name?"

Xiao Daotong hurriedly replied, "My name is Qi Zhicheng."

Yang Kang nodded. He also had a little impression of him. He knew that he was Qiu Chuji's young disciple. He had appeared in the Condor of the Gods and defended the Chongyang Palace. His talent should be the best among the three generations of Quanzhen disciples who were relatively small. He touched him head, said: "Take me to see Master."

"Yes, senior brother!" Qi Zhicheng hurriedly said, and then led the way ahead, Yang Kang followed closely behind, observing all around.

After a while, the two arrived at the Taoist temple where Qiu Chuji was, and saw five or six disciples facing each other two by two, practicing swordsmanship, while Qiu Chuji was walking among them with a serious face, pointing out the positions of their moves one by one , the strength of the sword and the speed of the sword.

Seeing Yang Kang coming with Qi Zhicheng, the expression on Qiu Chuji's face eased a little, and he asked everyone to continue practicing swords, and called Yang Kang to follow him into the room to talk.

As soon as Yang Kang entered the room, he knelt down and said respectfully, "Master."

Qiu Chuji nodded, very satisfied with Yang Kang's respectful attitude, and said slowly: "Get up, your junior sister Cheng Yaojia and Cheng are safe and sound, and I have received your letter as a teacher, but I am also sorry for you as a teacher." You are curious about your experiences these days, and you didn't explain it in your letter. The Devil's Cult is a cancer on the rivers and lakes, and I hope you can tell me about the twists and turns of these days."

Yang Kang stood up and said: "That day after I covered Junior Sister Cheng to leave, I lost to the witch Yang Miaozhen. Seeing that they had two horses, I took one and fled in a different direction. The witch was also chasing her very closely. , I hid for several days in a row, hid in the Jinan mansion, found help from local officials, and then escaped."

Yang Kang didn't intend to expose his strength now, so he lied to Qiu Chuji once. Fortunately, what he said was reasonable, even if Qiu Chuji went to Jinan to investigate, he couldn't find out the problem.
