Chapter 91
The winter solstice has always been regarded as a major festival by the Central Plains dynasty. Before dawn, the emperor of Daxia would go to the southern suburbs of Chang'an to worship the sky on the altar.Then go back to the palace to accept the congratulations from all the officials, and then set up a banquet to reward the emperor and his ministers.

And because the sundial grows at the beginning of the winter solstice, it symbolizes the resurrection of a yang and the gradual emergence of vitality. In order to show the meaning of "punishment is yin, and virtue is yang", the imperial court will also amnesty the world and reduce taxes on the winter solstice.

After the court congratulations and the banquet, most of the officials went home for vacation. Only a few of the princes and close officials who were favored by the emperor went to Jixian Temple together to meet the newly invited Songyue Immortal Master Daguan Daguan, as well as the wealthy king of Chang'an who presented auspicious treasures. Ingots.

After the emperor heard about the magical effect of the fairy dancing lamp, he immediately ordered the palace people to fetch the treasured wine. After filling it up, it really attracted the fairy dance as in the legend, and everyone in the room paid attention.

Not to be outdone, the immortal master Luo Gongyuan threw his staff into a silver bridge, and transformed into dozens of moon palace fairies, floating down to pour wine for the guests present.

Then Wang Yuanbao presented the Qibao Mountain seat, calling it the seat of the sage.The emperor heard that Longyan was very happy, but he claimed to be virtuous, so he immediately invited Taoist Daoist to ascend his seat and preach the Taoism.

Daguan Daoist made several refusals to no avail, and finally climbed to the seat of Qibao Mountain, where he talked about the stability of heaven, earth and man, in which he talked about the killing intent of the three talents and the imminent chaos.

Jixianyuan was originally set up to invite the world's great sages and high-spirited people. Here, you will not be punished for your words. The emperor did not blame him, but asked why the chaos was coming.

Daguan Daoist has no scruples, and frankly discusses various ills in today's Great Xia, such as the invasion of nobles and nobles, the collapse of government soldiers, refugees everywhere, thieves flocking, and foreign invaders. He also claims that the current disaster is not serious. into a huge disaster.

The emperor asked about the countermeasures. Daguan Zhenren proposed two methods, internal and external. Internally, he implemented inspections and closed households to stabilize the refugees so that they would no longer be robbers.Externally, it is to enlist powerful and powerful customers as young men, enrich the frontier army, increase the number of farms and houses, and no longer dispatch the old government soldiers.

In addition, Daguan Zhenren presented the "Taibai Yin Jing" compiled by himself, which is full of knowledge about training and running an army. He claimed that with this book, even ordinary students can master military affairs with more study.

The emperor was overjoyed and praised Daguan Daguan for not forgetting the temple and state affairs in Linquan. Immediately, the "Taibai Yin Jing" was collected in Jixian Yuan, and ordered to hand-copy [-] copies in regular script and provide it to students for study.

In order to commend Daguan Daoist, the emperor gave great rewards and decreed to build a Taoist temple, intending to allow Daguan Daoist to stay in Chang'an.Daoguan Zhenren took the initiative to persuade and decline, thinking that he had done nothing to the country and should not be rewarded.

The emperor saw that he refused to accept his resignation, so he was canonized as a fourth-rank literary official general counsel doctor, and given a fish charm bag that was banned from entering and leaving the palace, so that he could be called into the palace at any time.

The matter of the emperor's confrontation with Daguan Daoist was spread among the dignitaries in Chang'an the next day.Some aristocratic families with a keen sense of smell who have experienced changes in the court for a long time guessed that Daoguan Daoist preached the Taoism is false, and urged the emperor to reform is true.

And during the seven-day break of the officials and ministers, the news that Lu Xiang met the son of a servant girl many years ago also spread like wildfire in Chang'an Square.There are even rumors that this maidservant's son is the apprentice of Daoist Daoist!

Hearing the news, the aristocratic family immediately realized that the questioning and correcting on the winter solstice day was all because Lu Xiang used the mouth of the Songyue immortal master to persuade the emperor to vigorously implement the New Deal.

Thinking about it on a deeper level, Daguan Daoist was invited by His Majesty, did he not know his intentions at all beforehand?
If only to listen to Gao Dao's preaching, it would be fine to send people to Tiantai Mountain to invite Bai Yunzi, the master of the Qing Dynasty, to Chang'an.A few years ago, this Bai Yunzi was the one who bestowed the emperor with a talisman, and His Majesty even respectfully called him "Brother Daoist"!
Maybe this question about the winter solstice of Jixian Academy is a hint sent by His Majesty the Emperor to the government and the public, telling everyone that the wind direction will change and they should not violate the implementation of the New Deal.

As for Cheng Sanwu and Changqing who were in Qingjinyuan, they didn't care about these rumors.

Qingjin Courtyard is the three-entry house that Wang Yuanbao gave to Changqing, and he named it according to his preference.

Since Su Wangting took all his family members to the Kungang Academy, Cheng Sanwu was too embarrassed to be a guest at other people's homes all day long.It happened that Changqing had to find himself to practice duels every day, so he simply moved to the Qingjin Courtyard, since the two sides are not far from each other, and they can be there just by walking around.

There was a crackling sound, and the two wooden swords clashed quickly. Cheng Sanwu's body fell down, and he held the sword in both hands to make a beheading sword move.

"Again." Cheng Sanwu shouted.

Changqing glanced down, took two steps back with sweat on his face, and refused to admit defeat: "Come again!"

"What's the hurry?" Cheng Sanwu stood up with the knife, "Your wrist is shaking after practicing all day."

Changqing's hand holding the sword was covered with sweat, and his five fingers were stiff, as if cramped.Although he is good at internal cultivation, it is not easy to practice against Cheng Sanwu, and the opponent always seems to be able to force him to deal with it with all his strength.At the end of the day, several muscles in his body were twitching slightly.

It has to be said that Cheng Sanwu sparred with him, allowing Changqing to make rapid progress in swordsmanship.

Senior Yingjun's method of sending sword energy from the bamboo leaves is not incomprehensible, but it is more to allow Changqing to personally experience the combination of sword moves, sword intent, and sword energy.The short half-night sparring in Taihua Mountain at the beginning was more like planting "Crossing the Moon and Flowing Rainbow" as a seed in Changqing's body, and it still needs careful cultivation before it can grow into a towering tree.

In order for this seed to grow, in addition to refining Qi and thinking, actual combat experience is also essential.And the sparring with Cheng Sanwu is the best way to fertilize and cultivate.

Cheng Sanwu's martial arts are far superior to Changqing's. He has been fighting for a long time, and with a few plain and simple instructions, he can make Changqing understand the shortcomings of his sword moves, and in frequent sparring, force himself to fight. Keep correcting.

Even when he was resting and chatting, Cheng Sanwu would tell Changqing how to deal with enemies with different weapons in specific fights.Changqing listened fascinated, and at the same time learned about Cheng Sanwu's many experiences in the Western Regions.

"However, you don't have to listen to me completely." Cheng Sanwu said: "You have magical protection, and not everyone can handle this thing. Although the thief from Jinguang Temple knocked you to the ground, But it's not easy for him to kill you. If you had a few more people to help restrain you, you would have blasted those thieves to pieces as soon as you passed the spell."

"Although that is the case, when I think about it afterwards, although the leader of the thieves was not able to send out his anger, he was not too far behind." Changqing said: "And the evil skills he cultivated are not only powerful Strong."

"That's what I think." Cheng Sanwu showed disdain.

Changqing said earnestly: "When I fought against him, I tried to cast spells several times, but he could always accurately grasp the timing of my energy movement, launch a swift and violent attack, and forcibly obstruct it. I doubt that this person can sense the change of spell-casting energy. Can you do it?"

Cheng Sanwu thought for a while and said, "No way."

"Martial arts in this world are also extensive and profound. For example, Qin Wangshu next to the dominatrix can send out a icy energy. Even a person who is proficient in martial arts will be hurt by her if he can't cope for a while." Changqing said. Just landed, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the front yard.

At this time, a servant came to report: "My lord, there is a woman outside the courtyard who claims to see Mr. Cheng Lang."

In addition to Qingjin Courtyard, Wang Yuanbao sent dozens of servants as servants. Changqing really didn't need that many, so he sent most of them back, leaving ten of them to work.

"It's Qin Wangshu, I can feel that cold breath." Changqing waved his hand to make the servants step back, and looked at Cheng Sanwu.

"That's why the dominatrix came to look for me." Cheng Sanwu got up and looked at the sky: "I guess I won't be able to come back tonight."

Changqing remembered the situation when he saw Cheng Sanwu and Afu overlapped on the bed before, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Are you really getting together with a hag?"

"What do you mean by 'engaging'?" Cheng Sanwu smiled strangely.

Changqing coughed dryly, he had rarely used such vulgar words in the past, and he could only blame it on the fact that he had been with Cheng Sanwu for a long time, and his words had become unbearable.

"In short, you have to be careful." It's not that Changqing can't see that Afu intends to take Cheng Sanwu under his command.It is not a good thing for Cheng Sanwu to devote himself to the filth of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Cheng Sanwu didn't care too much, he led the horse out, and saw Qin Wangshu staring at him coldly.

"Fushang ordered me to come and call you." Qin Wangshu got on his horse.

Cheng Sanwu wanted to ask more questions, but Qin Wangshu looked so cold that he was a stranger, so he had to shut up obediently and follow him away.

And not long after Cheng Sanwu went out, Changqing had dinner, bathed and changed clothes, and just returned to his room, he saw Daguan Daoist standing in front of the sword stand, looking at the jade-handled potter's wheel sword.

"Master!" Changqing exclaimed, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "You are finally here, the disciple is still thinking about how long it will take to see the master."

Changqing naturally heard about the news that Daguan Daoist entered the palace during the winter solstice, but unfortunately he had no chance to meet him. He did not expect Master to come to Qingjin Courtyard in person.

"It seems that you have made a lot of progress in these days." Daguan Daoist turned around, looked at Changqing a few times, and said with a smile: "Not only can you summon the generals freely, but you have also learned a superb swordsmanship."

Hearing Master mentioning swordsmanship, Changqing was a little ashamed, but senior Yingjun forbade him to mention it to outsiders, and was about to try to explain, Daguan Daoist said: "And I see that the sword intent on your body is clear, it is definitely not an outsider's skill, come to think of it. It is to get the sword from an expert."

Changqing bowed his head and remained silent, as a tacit consent, Daguan Daoist said indifferently: "A master's behavior is mysterious, this is your chance, so there is no need to talk about it."

"Thank you, master, for your understanding." Changqing actually wanted to tell Daguan Daoist, but he didn't want to break his promise.

"What experiences did you have after you came down from the mountain? Let me tell you to my teacher?" Daguan Daoist asked.

"Yes!" It is rare for Changqing to have someone who can completely open his heart and confide in him. He hastily asked Daguan Daoist to sit down, and then explained every detail of himself after leaving the Terzang Palace.Even the deeds that he lost his eyesight in the Western Regions and was defeated by the head of Yuntingzhai, he also unreservedly told Daguan Daoist.

"I threw you out of the mountain, how many dangers have you experienced so far, do you have any comprehension?" Daguan Daoist asked.

Changqing was silent for a long time, and then said with a firm expression: "Even if this disciple has the Dao Dharma in his body, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to protect themselves in the face of all kinds of unpredictable dangers. Our generation should have the ambition to save the drowning, how can we lie in the forest forever?"

"Being able to say this shows that you really understand." Daguan Daoist nodded, not as serious as Lu Yan, and said gently: "You seem to have mentioned the inscription on the stone tablet of Ankuti just now? Why don't you take it out for The teacher will go over the details with you."

"Disciple obey!"

……

Unsurprisingly, Cheng Sanwu followed Qin Wangshu to Tianxiang Pavilion.He now feels that this place is not a brothel for people to enjoy at all. Considering what happened to Mr. Du's family, Bao Buqi is a place used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to torture people.No matter how gorgeous the decoration is on the outside, the torture equipment inside is just as terrifying.

When I came to Zhulou on the third floor, I saw Afu sitting on the couch, wearing a lotus color blouse and trousers, with bare feet, she looked like she was sleeping in the inner room.She leaned against the table and read carefully with a book in her hand. The cover was sallow and slightly old.

It's rare for Cheng Sanwu to see Afu so quiet and elegant, like those noble ladies who have read poetry and books, they still can't put down the book before going to bed.

"Miss Fu, I brought him here." Qin Wangshu crossed his hands and said.

"Well, sit down." Afu didn't raise her head, unable to tell who she was speaking to.

Jiang Zhen is also wearing a loose dress, revealing a large area of ​​smooth snowy skin below the neck of the goose, with high hills and deep valleys, which catch people's eyes.Seeing her take the initiative to come forward, she led Cheng Sanwu to sit on the same couch, and the two of them placed a table with preserved tea and preserved fruits.

"I don't know what Cheng Lang is up to lately?" Jiang Zhen scooped up a cup of tangerine soup topped with cheese in front of her, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and put Fengwo Xueqiu on the table, making Cheng Sanwu think of the noodle shop in Xishi Freshly baked steamed cakes are round, white and soft.

"There's nothing to be busy with." Cheng Sanwu picked up a dried apricot and stuffed it into his mouth to chew: "I have no property or job. If I didn't rub other people for food and shelter, I would have no place to stay in Chang'an."

"I've said it all, let Cheng Lang come to Tianxiang Pavilion." Jiang Zhen supported her with her hand: "I don't want to say you are rich, but I guarantee that you will have no worries."

"Without worries, people will become lazy." Cheng Sanwu smiled and looked at Afu: "What do you want me to do?"

"As I said before, I will prepare a martial arts cheat book for you." Afu closed the book and threw it away.

Cheng Sanwu caught it, looked at the title of "Liuhe Yuanzhang" on the cover of the book, flipped it casually, and found that it was full of dense words without pictures, and occasionally saw a bunch of words such as yin and yang, cold and heat, wind and rain, dark and bright , I feel that it is either a medical book or a classic book, and I will feel sleepy after just one more glance.

"Uh... there's one thing I forgot to say before." Cheng Sanwu was a little embarrassed: "I don't know much, and I don't have serious knowledge. I can't understand such advanced martial arts cheats. Isn't there any one with pictures? ? Write down the moves, footwork and direction."

"There are, but no matter how good a move is, it needs to be stimulated by superb internal strength before it can show its power." Afu said bluntly: "This "Liuhe Yuanzhang" is the leading internal strength method in the Central Plains martial arts. Legend has it that this Martial arts encompasses all phenomena and governs the Liuhe. A person who has achieved great success has the Liuhe Zhenqi in his body, and can use it to display all martial arts moves, regardless of his unique mentality. It is said that if you practice the "Liuhe Yuanzhang" to the innate level, you can control the Liuqi and travel infinitely , Become immortal, become holy, become immortal."
