Chapter 6 Preliminary Examination
An hour before Wu Chen left Wenshui County, a luxurious motorvoy also passed south from Wenshui County, and in the carriage of the convoy, a dignified lady was teaching her children. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Fan'er, this time my mother brought you to the iron mine in Bingzhou so that you can be more familiar with my Sha family's business, and now that your uncle and second uncle have joined forces to suppress us, I am afraid that the separation of the family is inevitable. If you can learn more, it will definitely be good for your future development. I hope you're just a strange lady who wants to ask you to leave Chang'an. ”
"Well, mother, I know, you've said it many times."
"Madam, the young master understands your hard work. Hey, the old man's health is getting worse, but he is still hesitant about the successor of the head of the family, if the third son can be appointed as soon as possible, the eldest son and the second son dare not do this. ”
"Hey, I really miss the time when the young marshal pretended to be Doctor Mo, how good the old man's health was at that time."
"Yes, there are too few people who can perform acupuncture like the young marshal. The master is seventy-four this year, and if Young Marshal Kou can treat the master again, he should be able to extend his life for another five years. ”
"It would be nice if I could ask Young Marshal Kou to come to Chang'an again."
"Four years ago, when the young marshal came to Chang'an, we had already relied on Chang He's relationship to trouble him again, he had already made it clear at the time that the old man's body was already old, and he could ensure the health of the old man for up to five years with the injection this time, which was still in accordance with his requirements, under the premise of reasonable conditioning, it has been more than four years now, and the old man's body is not good again, and even the old lady is sick."
"Hey, yes, the young marshal relies on the recuperation characteristics of longevity, except that he only has Xu Ziling, and Xu Ziling is even more difficult to find."
"How can I trouble them again, four years ago, the young marshal specially drew a acupuncture point map for treatment for the master, recorded in detail his treatment method for the master, and told that if the Buddhist monk came to treat the master according to his method, it would also have a good effect. We've taken extra care of that. ”
"It's a pity, the senior monks who can be invited have all seen the meridian diagram of the young marshal, and they can't do it, saying that except for the four holy monks, it is difficult to have such abundant innate true qi of Buddhism. But the four holy monks are all in retreat, and even if they don't retreat, it's hard to invite them. Chen Laiman said helplessly.
"Could it be that the lives of the lord and the lady have arrived?" Cheng Bisu, the third lady of the Sha family, looked out the window, her frowning brows showing her worry.
As the largest weapons merchant in Datang now, many people are staring at their business, the status of the Sha family is not stable, but the Sha family is still not united, if Sha Tiannan passes away, the separation of the family will definitely be inevitable, even if there is Chang He who is the commander of the forbidden army, decline is probably inevitable.
Although her husband Sha Chengde is good at the design and manufacture of weapons, he is obviously not as successful as the eldest brother Sha Chengcheng and the second brother Sha in terms of external interpersonal relationships. The Sha family has a great advantage in urban defense weapons, but now that the Tang Dynasty is powerful in all directions, and the battlefield is getting farther and farther away from the Central Plains, this advantage of the Sha family cannot be brought into play.
This time, the Sha family had some problems in the iron mine in Bingzhou, and her husband Sha Chengde had other things to do, so Cheng Bisu had to deal with it herself, and with her intelligence, she had already become Sha Chengde's right-hand man. This time, he brought his 14-year-old second son, Sha Rongfan, in the hope that he could learn the way of running the family business as soon as possible.
Yesterday, I received a flying pigeon from Chang'an, and the old man Sha Tiannan's physical condition was not good again, I am afraid that he will not last long, and the group hurried back to Chang'an.
For the master's treatment, Cheng Bisu has lost hope, whether it is Young Marshal Mi or Xu Ziling, or the four holy monks, they can't be invited, and the master is afraid that he won't be able to survive this time.
Chen Laiman looked at the young lady, but he couldn't find any words to comfort her, he was a person who practiced martial arts, he knew the rarity of innate true qi, he was already twenty-two out of fifty, but he was still acquired, and the so-called realm of heaven and man sympathy was so far away for him.
In contemplation, the convoy stopped, Chen Laiman got out of the carriage to check the situation, a tree on the side of the road fell for some reason, and it was across the road, pedestrians and horses could easily cross it, but the carriage could not pass, the horseman of the convoy had called a few strong servants to try to remove the big tree, but the tree was still connected to the roots.
Chen Laiman came to the root of the tree and found a palm print on the trunk, which was pushed to the tree by someone with palm force, the trunk was only thigh-thick, and he could easily do this, but the tree happened to fall on the road of his own convoy, which gave him a bad premonition.
"All the homes are on alert!" Chen Laiman immediately issued a warning.
As soon as the voice fell, a "Up!" "It's coming from the front.
"Protect the prince and his wife!" Chen Laiman returned to the carriage and looked in the direction of the sound.
A group of masked thieves with all kinds of weapons ran towards them, but there were not many of them, only a dozen people, and they came to a halt twenty paces in front of the convoy.
"I don't know if there is a friend on the road ahead, can I report my name. In Xia Chen Laiman, the chief nurse of the Sha family in Chang'an. ”
"Ha, Chief Nurse, you should know that we won't tell you when you see us masked, why do you bother to do this!" A group of thieves laughed and coaxed.
"Hmph, there are still you thieves who have slipped through the net under the rule of Datang, I'm afraid it won't be long before you will be wiped out by the Criminal Department, I advise you to disperse as soon as possible."
It seems to talk about the weakness of the thief, and the thief has become impatient.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, leave all the finances, horses and carriages, and get out of here, otherwise there will be no life to roll out." The leader of the thieves who stood at the front spoke.
There are sixteen thieves and ten people in the nursing home, but the Sha family has always paid attention to the investment in force, so those who can be the Sha family's nursing home have quite good kung fu, these sixteen thieves are not much of a threat in Chen Laiman's opinion, since the other party still refuses to retreat after showing his name, it can only be hard.
"Hmph, that's up to you."
Sixteen thieves rushed up and fought with the ten guardians, obviously they also understood that as long as these guardians were removed, there was no threat to the others, and all the thieves would pay attention to the warriors of the courtyard.
The other grooms and servants were frightened and ran in the way they came. Ten nurses guarded Cheng Bisu and Xiao Gongzi's carriage.
Chen Laiman picked up his weapon with a long stick, and after a few moves with the leader of the thieves, he was really taken aback at this time, the opponent's skill was not bad, although he could win the opponent steadily, but if he faced more than two thieves, it would be difficult to say the result.
'With this martial arts, you can find a good errand, how can you become a robber?' This is the strange thing about Chen Laiman.
"Chen San and the stick came over to help me make this old guy first." The leader obviously couldn't beat Chen Laiman, so he called a helper.
And the battle situation has also become stalemate, Chen Laiman is one against three, struggling to support, and the other nine nurses are also equal in strength against the thirteen thieves.
It didn't take long for the two guards to be injured, and the three thieves were also hung up, and the situation gradually became unfavorable for the Sha family.
Chen Laiman was already thinking about whether to change his tactics and protect his wife and little son from leaving, these finances were not important.
Turning to defense, he was distracted to observe the overall situation, and the three thieves who fought against him, seeing him turn to defense, were more cautious in attacking, the other party obviously didn't want to have too many casualties, and did not use any life-fighting moves, if they retreated, these thieves should not chase after them.
Just when Chen Laiman was still thinking about it, he was stunned to find that a young man in rags had joined the battle group, and the weapon he used turned out to be a flat pole, and this flat pole quickly shocked both sides.
The boy first rushed to a wounded guard, and the flat pole easily held up the long knife of a robber, followed by a kick, the robber had been kicked ten steps away, and other robbers had turned to the boy, and the flat pole in the boy's hand could always slowly and leisurely block the robber's attack, and then returned fire and slapped the opponent away, until the four thieves were shot away by the boy, and no one could take him two moves.
It seems that after these robbers and the boy fought a move, their bodies were numb, and they were honestly slapped away by the slow-looking flat pole of the boy, and then curled up and moaned on the ground.
And when two more robbers were shot away, the leader of the thieves shouted to retreat.
"Stick your hands, withdraw!"
The other thieves picked up the six injured men and ran away.
Chen Laiman put away his weapon and came to the ragged young man, although the other party was poorly dressed, Chen Laiman could see the hidden light in the other party's eyes at a glance, which was the effect of practicing true qi.
"Thank you for the help of this young man, dare to ask the name of the young man? Our Sha family is grateful. ”
"Oh, my name is Li Chen."
The young man had an innocent smile on his face, and Chen Laiman was very impressed.
"I don't know where the young master is?"
"I don't know, the dumb master never told me what kind of kung fu I practiced."
"Laiman, can you help me down and meet this little brother to show my gratitude?" Cheng Bisu said in the carriage.
"Oh, of course." Chen Laiman opened the carriages, and Cheng Bisu and Sha Rongfan got out of the carriage.
"Thank you, little brother, for helping to drive away the thieves, the Sha family will be grateful! In the next way Bisu. This is my child. ”
"Well, I've seen Madame, it's a gesture, a gesture." Seeing a beautiful and dignified rich lady, the young man could only smile stupidly.
And Chen Laiman felt a kind of familiarity with the momentum displayed by this young man, and suddenly remembered after thinking about it.
"Dare to ask Li Chen Shaoxia, is what you are practicing Buddhism?"
"Uh, Buddhism?"
And Cheng Bisu looked at Chen Laiman.
"Can you let me try the true qi of the young man?"
This quest is definitely very rude in the martial arts, but the anxious Chen Laiman still asked. And Li Chen's answer was very crisp.
"Okay!"
The two shook hands, and Chen Lai's face was full of shock, and he looked at the third lady Cheng Bisu.
"Buddhism is innate and true!"
"Ah~" Cheng Bisu couldn't help but let out a sound, covering her mouth and looking at Chen Laiman.
Chen Laiman nodded to her.
……
"Tell the sect master, everything is going well, Wu Chen has been invited by the Sha family to accompany him."
"Well, it's good, inform Ma Liu's gang, go somewhere else and do it again, and then disperse, if you do too much, it will definitely attract attention, and stop it immediately, it may cause people to suspect Wu Chen."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"By the way, Sect Master, you didn't tell Wu Chen that he was going to save the people of the Sha family, how did he know that he was going?" Wu You seemed a little puzzled.
"This is caused by Wu Chen's practice of authentic Buddhist mental methods."
Wu You didn't seem to understand, and looked at Yin Zuwen.
"Practicing the mind of Buddhism all year round, Wu Chen will definitely be affected by the innate true qi of Buddhism, and unconsciously, his heart will be filled with the so-called sense of justice and compassion of Buddhism and Taoism, so when he sees the Sha family's convoy attacked, he will come to the rescue."
"Oh."
Looking at Wu You's appearance, Yin Zuwen made additions.
"You may not quite understand the influence of the true qi in the body on the personality of the cultivator and so on, but this does exist. For example, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, one is active and the other is quiet, one is competitive, and the other is indifferent to fame and fortune, in fact, this has a great relationship with the different longevity techniques practiced by the two of them.
Besides, there are two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and the mental laws they cultivate will inevitably make them have no heart to fight and it will be difficult for them to enter the world. Just like their martial arts, they are good at defending, but they are difficult to attack, because the offense itself goes against their indisputable state of mind. This contradiction has always been where our Holy Gate looks down on them.
Compassion for sentient beings, but not good at entering the world to help sentient beings. Even if they enter the WTO, if they want to change the fate of the common people, they must fight for the world, and the struggle for imperial power has always been extremely cruel, and the benevolence, righteousness and integrity of Buddhism and Taoism, how can they help them stand at the top? Those bald donkey nuns also understand this truth, so they rarely enter the WTO, and if they want to enter the WTO, they will also assist Li Shimin like this, which is all related to their cultivation of the mind. ”
Yin Zuwen's interest today is obviously good, and he said a lot.
Wu You seemed to think about it, and stopped talking.
"Hehe, just ask whatever you want."
"Yes, Sect Master, Wu Chen has always liked double cultivation, so will the innate true qi of the Buddhist family of the Great Law of the Changing Sun make him no longer interested in double cultivation?"
"Hehe, you really asked me, I once thought that Wu Chen would be affected, so I didn't take the initiative to mention this matter to him, until I introduced him to Wen Caiting, Wu Chen took the initiative to ask this question, so I could explain to him about how he could double cultivate.
After a few years of observation, I found that his interest in double cultivation had no effect, so I was also very strange, theoretically, the true qi of Buddhism would definitely restrain the cultivator's desire in this regard, and Wu Chen's interest was still, although this is a good thing for us, but why this is so, I really don't know. ”
Looking at Wu You's thoughtful look, Yin Zuwen comforted again:
"Like, I know that you have always regarded Wu Chen as your own, but you don't have to worry, Wu Chen's integrity and gratitude will definitely follow him for the rest of his life, this is his guarantee of loyalty to our Holy Gate, after a while, things are stable, I will arrange for you to go to Chang'an, and meet him from time to time, I believe you will all be happy."
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
"Then, it's up to Wu Chen next."
To come... (Code "Dead Walker" went, hey, self-inflicted.) )
