Chapter 30 [Spring of Clear Snow]
β¦β¦
Tang Lang sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, slowly closed his eyes, and silently calmed his restless heart.
The heartbeat also began to slow out from the rapid beating when climbing the mountain.
Meditation......
Tang Lang gradually felt as if he was in an empty world.
At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
Look at the tip of the nose, put the tongue against the palate, breathe through the nose, and keep the dantian......
Immediately afterwards, Tang Lang first took a deep breath hard, and then slowly exhaled the waste qi in his body.
After practicing back and forth like this for a few times, he closed his mouth and rested.
After another moment, Tang Lang suddenly took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and entered the world of empty light in meditation.
He used his mind to guide the clear qi that he had just inhaled in his mouth, and wandered through the eight veins of the Qi Sutra in his body and the hundreds of corpses around his body, and finally sank it into his own sea of dantian qi.
Then, he worked hard to regulate his pranayama in order to stick to the dantian and cultivate the "true qi" in the dantian.
-- Tang Lang is practicing sitting meditation in accordance with the method in the "Gongfa Chapter" of Master Daoxin, the fourth patriarch of Zen Buddhism.
Every day, he had to repeatedly study the 5,000 words in the "General Instructions" of "One Qi Zen" in order to realize some truths. However, he always failed to get the point.
Tang Lang felt that he had read too few Zen scriptures, and he was ready to step up his study of some Buddhist scriptures.
In desperation, he had no choice but to practice according to the method in the "Gongfa Chapter" of "Yiqi Zen" for the time being.
β¦β¦
It has been two years since Tang Lang came to the film world of "Shaolin Temple".
A year ago, he, Zhang Xiaohu, Li Shimin, and Tanzong and other thirteen stick monks of Shaolin Temple successfully ambushed Wang Renze in the Dragon and Snake Valley of Songshan.
After watching Wang Renze struggle in pain for more than an hour, Zhang Xiaohu pierced his heart with a sword and killed him.
Soon, Li Shimin, who had returned to the Tang army camp on the other side of the Yellow River from Songshan, first launched an attack on Dou Jiande, who was entrenched in Hebei, and successfully defeated him.
Subsequently, Li Shimin crossed the Yellow River defense line of the Zheng army, smashed Luoyang, and killed the "King of Zheng" Wang Shichong.
After pacifying the Central Plains, Li Shimin once came to Songshan Shaolin Temple, found Tan Zong, Tang Lang, and Zhang Xiaohu, and asked them to go out of the mountain to help.
However, Tanzong did not have the heart to be born, and was only willing to stay in the Shaolin Temple as a monk, so Li Shimin named him a "general monk" and allowed the Shaolin Temple to raise monks.
Zhang Xiaohu had no intention of becoming a marquis at all, and politely declined Li Shimin's invitation.
And Tang Lang said to Li Shimin: "I don't really want to go out of the mountain!" If you encounter difficulties, you can come to Songshan to find me. I only practiced around Songshan Mountain, practiced and sat in meditation. β
Li Shimin eventually left disappointed.
Until the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin really sent Cheng Yanjin to come to Songshan secretly, invited Tang Lang to come out of the mountain, displayed peerless martial arts, and killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the king of Qi Li Yuanji and his henchmen at Xuanwu Gate to help him win the throne.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he changed the yuan to "Zhenguan" and named Tang Lang as "Marquis of Lanling".
Tang Lang insisted that he would not accept it.
Li Shimin is not enough.
-- This deed is recorded in detail in the article "New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Tang Lang" edited by Ouyang Xiu, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, and Liu Xiaotong, a poet.
β¦β¦
After helping Li Shimin defeat Wang Shichong and Wang Renze's uncle and nephew, Tang Lang and Zhang Xiaohu still live in Wang Chengyan's house as before.
Thinking that the task of his trip was to match Zhang Xiaohu and Bai Wuflawless, a pair of golden boys and girls, Tang Lang also began to work secretly hard.
He found Bai Wufang and said to her, "Xiaohu asked me to secretly tell you that he had a deep love for you when he first met you. β
Bai Wufang listened, shyly silent.
She has already "empathized and don't fall in love", and has changed from having a crush on Tang Lang to liking Zhang Xiaohu. Therefore, after listening to Tang Lang's words, he was only sweet in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Lang found Zhang Xiaohu again and said to him: "Xiaohu, the flawless sister asked me to send you a sachet." She said that when you bring this sachet, it is as if you can feel that she is by your side all the time. As he spoke, he took out the splendid sachet that Bai Wufang gave him and gave it to Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu took the splendid sachet from Tang Lang's hand, and even started to come to it, he even asked stupidly: "Ah Lang, what do you mean by flawless girl?" β
Tang Lang took the opportunity to say: "Xiaohu, you are really a stupid boy. Isn't that obvious? Flawless girl, I secretly fell in love with you. She is sending you sachets to express her affection. She was too shy to give it to her, so she asked me to give it to you secretly. ββDon't you like flawless girls? β
ββ¦β¦ Of course I do. Zhang Xiaohu said happily, "However, I don't have the delusion that the flawless girl will like me." I always thought she liked you......"
"Haha," Tang Lang smiled and said, "I already have a girl I like." β
After both ends were settled, Tang Lang ran to Shaolin Temple again, found Master Tanzong, and said to him: "Master, Sister Wufang is your daughter, and now she is not too young, and I, as an elder brother, are also thinking about her lifelong event." Master, do you think it's time to find her a husband? β
Tan Zong thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "yes...... This girl is almost twenty years old, and if she doesn't find someone to marry, she will become an old girl in the future. β
Tang Lang hurriedly said: "I think Xiaohu is good. He sacrificed himself several times to save the flawless girl, and in normal times, he cared for the flawless girl. They're definitely right! β
When Tan Zong heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Xiaohu is a good boy. I don't have time to entrust him, but I'm relieved. β
Tang Lang said, "Master, you can take the time to talk to the immaculate girl about this." β
Tan Zong nodded and said, "Okay." β
In this way, under Tang Lang's threading, Zhang Xiaohu and Bai Wuflawless finally became relatives, and worshiped heaven and earth in Wang Chengyan's house.
On the day of the wedding wine, the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple came, and the villagers of Nanwa Village also came. At that time, Li Shimin, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River to quell the turmoil, also specially sent Cheng Yanjin to bring gold and silver brocade to pay tribute.
At this point, the task assigned to Tang Lang by the mysterious strange coffee can be regarded as a successful completion.
Next, Tang Lang was left with the task of practicing Shaolin Kung Fu.
β¦β¦
A year later.
It's spring again.
The snow melts in the warm breeze and gradually turns into spring water.
One evening.
Tang Lang, who has nothing to do, walks around in Nanwa Village and feels the breath of spring.
Walking silently and boredly, Tang Lang unconsciously came to Jiang Qingxue's door.
He saw Jiang Qingxue under a plum tree in the small courtyard of the fence, silently combing her hair with a comb.
Tang Lang thought silently in his heart: "Her long hair seems to have been longer last year......"
He was about to walk over silently, but he heard Jiang Qingxue say faintly: "...... You've finally made it here......"
"Ah......" Tang Lang hesitated in his heart, he heard that Jiang Qingxue's tone seemed to have some resentment, so he said silently: "...... Long time no see. β
ββ¦β¦ Can you brush my hair for me? Jiang Qingxue held a comb in her hand and looked at Tang Lang silently and said.
Tang Lang said: "This ...... Not so good. β
"That night," Jiang Qingxue said lightly and angrily, "you...... Kissed me forcibly, and ...... All right? β
Tang Lang defended, "I wasn't ...... at the time"
He wanted to say "he didn't kiss her", but he immediately realized that he had kissed her that night.
So, Tang Lang had no choice but to say: "Of course it's not good. β
"All this time, you really didn't have any thoughts about me in your heart?" Jiang Qingxue continued to say aggressively.
Tang Lang suddenly felt that Jiang Qingxue seemed to be a different person, and she no longer seemed to be weak.
"Since the day I first met Jiang Qingxue until now, I have never had any thoughts about her? Didn't you ......."
Tang Lang thought silently in his heart.
He wasn't sure.
He even felt that he had thoughts about her at some point.
Tang Lang's heart was a little nervous, and he said, "It's okay too." β
Jiang Qingxue looked at the sky, and it was gradually getting dark.
She suddenly said, "Although spring is coming, it is still so cold to sleep alone at night." β¦β¦ Can you not leave tonight? β
Jiang Qingxue spoke, turned around and entered the house.
Tang Lang stood in the hazy world of the night, meditating......
A moment later, he walked into Jiang Qingxue's room with his feet raised.
Inside the house, a light is like a bean.
Jiang Qingxue was lying on the bed with her back to him.
Tang Lang walked over and slept beside her.
So, Jiang Qingxue put a quilt on the two of them, groped secretly, and leaned her back tightly on Tang Lang's chest......
β¦β¦
For more than two decades, Tang Lang continued to learn Shaolin Kung Fu with Master Tanzong, the leader of the Shaolin Temple warrior monks.
He learned the southern fist and the north leg, eighteen kinds of martial arts, hard qigong, light qigong, meteor step, scud, grappling, eight duanjin, yi jin jing, horizontal practice, iron cloth shirt, golden bell jar, toad gong, iron arm gong, golden dragon hand, eagle claw gong, iron sand palm, flying gong, one-finger zen, overlord elbow, five poisonous hands, golden shovel fingers, blitz method, soft bone gong, gecko swimming wall technique, point point, plum blossom wood needle and shaolin jie needle method, etc., the miracle skills are too numerous to mention.
The reason why Tang Lang has learned so much kung fu is mainly because his internal cultivation is no longer what it used to be.
In the past twenty years, he has cultivated the one-qi Zen that Master Daoxin has passed on to him, and he has reached the point of "refining qi and transforming energy" and "exerting strength in the air".
Being able to exert strength in the air shows that Tang Lang has entered the four major realms in the "Gongfa Chapter" of "One Qi Zen" - the "First Yuan Realm", the "Middle Yuan Realm", the "Upper Yuan Realm", and the "First Yuan Realm" in the Mixed Yuan Realm.
A person who has entered the Chu Yuan Realm and cultivates Shaolin stunts, it is naturally very simple.
He is in a world that does not belong to him, and every night when he sleeps, he hopes that the mysterious geek will take him away.
However, the mysterious eccentric did not take him out of the cinematic world of "Shaolin Temple" as he had hoped. However, he was not in a hurry, because his twenty years in this world were only twenty days in the real world.
Tang Lang had no choice but to practice his miraculous skills while waiting patiently......
