Chapter 12: "The Twelfth, Arrival"

Dayongguo, the capital, Yongjing.

The Li River is mighty and mighty, flowing through Yongjing like the Milky Way。。。。。

Yongjing is located on the bank of the Li River, like a giant beast looking down on the vast Li River Plain, in the evening a passenger ship from the north slowly docked at the Desheng Wharf, three people walked down from the boat, an old and a young man "Dayong because everyone practices martial arts The average life expectancy reaches 100 years old, so forty-one young people here",

I saw the young man standing on the pier and sighed: "The capital is so big, so majestic, so lively!" Obviously, the young man was shocked by the magnificence of the capital and did not know how to describe what he saw. The middle-aged man said thoughtfully, "Yes, although I grew up in the capital since I was a child, every time I see it." will be shocked. Then he handed over to the two of them, "Shizi, Xu Lao, the carriage is ready, do you two go back to the house directly or do you have me to eat a drink on the Songhe Tower?"

Xu Lao said, "Don't bother, I will take the prince back to his house to restore his life,"

"Then you two go well, I won't send it," Zhuo Yuanshan said. '

The two got into the carriage that had been prepared and rushed towards the palace of the three princes, and Baili Cicada sat in the carriage and looked curiously at this strange city through the curtain.

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion, and when the cicada got off the carriage, he saw two marble carved dragons in front of the vermilion gate, and a huge plaque on the lintel, which read "Lonely King's Mansion", but did not see the soldiers guarding the door.

This is Xu Lao, said, "I didn't expect that I had only been out for more than ten days, and the plaques were replaced, who let me change them," he turned his head and saw the puzzled expression of Baili Cicada and said, "Don't doubt that this is the mansion of the Third Highness, oh, it should be called the palace now, in the past, the restaurant sent people to let the prince return, and did not let us recruit people, it became like this, the entire palace counted the prince's "The prince's martial arts cultivation is to reach the martial saint, and he will be canonized as the king" There are only six people, so the prince doesn't need to be surprised, let's go" After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards me can't go.

The huge palace was deserted, there were vegetables and fruits planted in many open spaces, I didn't want the palace to look like a vegetable field, and there were cobwebs on the eaves of many rooms along the way, and he wondered if he was in the wrong place.

Baili Cicada stopped in front of a courtyard with Xu Kong, Xu Lao stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door and said, "The prince's subordinates have brought the prince back."

It was a faint voice from the courtyard, "Hmm." You take him to the bamboo forest first, and I'll go over in a while" Xu Kong, said "yes" After speaking, he turned to Baili Cicada and said, "The prince comes with me," although Baili Cicada really wanted to see the third brother now, he also knew that since the third brother asked him to wait in the bamboo forest, it was not easy to say anything.

Walking on the road of the bamboo forest, Xu Kong introduced the palace to Baili Cicada, "In addition to the prince, there are six people who used to follow Rong Guifei, and later went out of the Oriental family to rebel, Rong Guifei was beaten into the cold palace, from that moment on, we followed the prince, I will manage the size of the palace, in fact, there is nothing to manage, hehe, there is an old man Zhao in charge of the vegetable field, but unfortunately the planting is not good, the old man Qian is in charge of the money, but it is a pity that the old man is too picky, the old man Sun is in charge of cleaning, but it is a pity that he is too lazy, and the old lady Li is in charge of the diet but it is too unpalatable. So you have to be mentally prepared," he laughed.

Baili Cicada is very depressed now, and now he is wondering if he will see the third brother and say that he wants to live in the courtyard arranged by Qingwutang and not live in the palace.

The breeze blew all over the ground and the green bamboo "boom", the cicada followed Xu Lao on the path of the bamboo forest, his mood was unusually peaceful and peaceful, and after a while he came to a stone pavilion, found a seat and sat down, looking at the green bamboo silently thinking about his thoughts,

After about a cup of tea, he suddenly heard someone call him, looked up and saw that there was one more person next to him, who was wearing a gray robe, really looking at himself, who else could it be if it wasn't the third brother, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "When did the third brother come, why didn't you wake up the little brother," Baili Lonely, and said, "I see that you are thinking about it, it's not good to disturb, wait a while, what's the matter" is still a faint tone, but Baili Cicada is very happy in his heart.

Baili Lonely said, "Nothing happened on the road?" Baili Cicada said, "If you are Xu Lao, I'm afraid the younger brother won't be able to see the third brother" So he slowly poured out the experience he encountered on the road,

Baili said lightly, "The Beiyue Zhenwu Academy is so bold that it dares to come to the territory of Dayong to intercept people." If you have time, take a trip to North Vietnam and talk to them." Hearing Baili Lone's words, Xu Kong silently grieved for them, who did not provoke him, he had to move the people that the prince cared about, didn't he bring death to himself.

Baili Cicada didn't expect the third brother to have such a big reaction,

Baili Lin said, "And the Tiger Roar City Lord, I don't think he has that much courage, Xu Lao, you go and find out who is behind it?" Xu Kong, said, "The prince doesn't need to check, the Tiger Roar City Lord must be the town king." “

Baili Lin turned around and walked out, Xu Kong hurriedly followed and said, "Lord, are you going to find the king of Zhen?" The subordinates thought that the king of the town actually didn't know the relationship between you and the family of the king of Zhenbei, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing and brought trouble to himself."

Baili Cicada reacted, and also persuaded, "Third brother, I'm not fine, I was saying that the Lord of Tiger Roaring City at that time didn't embarrass us at the point" Thinking that the third brother's temper was too big, and he was going to kill people at every turn, Baili Cicada was very moved, after all, it was for his own business.

Baili said quietly, "Old Xu, you will leave the town king's mansion tomorrow, and tell the town king that the prince is frightened." Xu Kong bowed and said, "My subordinates will go early tomorrow morning."

Baili Lin returned to the stone pavilion and sat down and said, "I will be in retreat and cultivation in the bamboo forest for the next three months, don't disturb me, so you call them all tomorrow, I have something to explain, you go first." Xu Kong bowed and retreated.

Baili Lin took out a booklet from his arms and put it in Baili Chan's hand and said, "This is the whole book of "Practicing the Eight Methods", tomorrow you will start to learn the previous six methods from the beginning, namely, cow, bear, crane, mang, tiger, turtle, just learn the practice method inside, you can't learn how to play, if you don't understand anything, go to Xu Lao and them, do you understand?"

Baili Cicada, said, "Little brother understands"

Baili Lin said, "Well, when you get to the grandmaster, you can learn the general outline of the mind, then you will be much easier to practice the way of playing, and if you learn the heart method, there is no need to rely on the breathing method to mobilize every move, the realm of the grandmaster has practiced the internal force of the true qi, and it can be regarded as a real martial artist, but I don't know that you can learn a few ways to play, I am looking forward to it for my brother, I hope you don't let me down,"

Baili Cicada said confidently, "I will not disappoint the third brother,"

Baili Lonely said, "There will be a way of playing against the current so-called twelve days is a little reluctant, tonight you go back and take a good look at the way of playing, see if there is anything that makes your heart palpitate, tell me tomorrow,"

Baili Cicada said, "Okay, I'll have a good look at the way I play tonight,"

Baili Lonely said, "From today on, you will live in Meiyuan, where the peach blossoms are blooming well, and the house only eats and stays, and other trivial matters are up to you, well, and the food here is not very good, if you are not used to eating, go out to eat, or let the restaurant send it, and the silver will be paid from the house." “

Baili Cicada said, "Three, is the meal really hard to eat?"

Baili Lin said, "You will know after eating,,,, a month later is the day when Qingwutang opens, you can practice martial arts with peace of mind during this time, don't go out if you have nothing to do"

Baili Cicada said, "Third brother, just learning the "Eight Methods of Practicing the Truth" is not enough time, is it still necessary to go to the Qingwu Hall?" "Baili Lonely Dao" Go, listen to other people's opinions on martial arts, watch more exercises, don't care about the level of rank, feel them, practicing martial arts is not done behind closed doors, you know more about other exercises and martial arts, broaden your horizons, in order to go further and higher in martial arts. If you have nothing to do, go and learn from others, isn't it rumored that there are twelve geniuses in the capital, it's best to find them Only by playing with the masters can you really realize your own shortcomings and strengths, and you can understand yourself better,"

Baili Cicada said, "I understand, if you don't fight with me, I'll find something to force them to fight with me." "Not bad."

The next morning, the bamboo forest clearing.

Baili Cicada saw the other four people in the palace, to be precise, four white-haired old men, an old man dressed as a farmer with a hoe in his hand, an old man with unkempt hair and a broom in his hand, a landlord dressed as a fat old man with an abacus hanging from his waist, and an old woman wearing a coarse linen dress with an apron and an old woman holding a spoon. Baili Cicadas don't need to be introduced by Xu Lao to know who they are, it's too obvious.

Sure enough, Xu Lao pointed to one of them and said, "The hoe is Zhao Lao, the broom is Qian Lao, the abacus is Sun Lao, and the spoon is Granny Li," After speaking, he pointed to the Baili Cicada and said, "This is the prince of Zhenbei, Baili Cicada."

"Okay," Zhao Lao, who was holding the hoe, looked at Baili Cicada and said, "The palace does not raise idlers, you will follow me to pick up manure and fertilizer, carry water and farm the land" Qian Lao on the side did not do it, and pushed Zhao Lao Dao away, "I will clean the huge palace alone, you want to exhaust me, farm the land yourself, boy, you will follow me to fight the young prince's mansion in the future, so it is decided" Qian Lao also came over and said" Hey Zhenbei Wang Shizi, it shouldn't be a person who can't afford the accommodation fee, our palace is elegant and clean, so this fee can't be given too little, let me calculate how much is appropriate" After saying the abacus, crackling and calculating. "You old bastards are all out of the way for the old lady, the prince is a distinguished guest, how can he still work with you, and he has to pay for a fee, he should be well treated, otherwise outsiders will say that I don't know how to treat the king, you don't have to pay attention to these old bastards, I will make you eat every day, so that you can eat fat and strong when you leave." Granny Li yelled at them, and the other three immediately closed their mouths, and Baili Cicada was dumbfounded, these people are too strange, what will he do in the future, worry...
