"All people in the world need to conceive for ten months - at this time, it is like Hongmeng chaos, yin and yang are not judged, heaven and earth are not divided, there is no form, there is no self and no other, muddy, and one breath. Wait until the croaking to the ground, it is the first judgment of heaven and earth, the beginning of yin and yang, and then enter the world, the worldly qi is gradually dyed, confused by the seven emotions and six desires, the vitality gradually disappears, and the physique is weak.

My Chinese national art is the pursuit of this realm of unity between heaven and man! ”

This was what the teacher of the Celestial Empire told him when Shi Chen was practicing national arts.

It sounds very mysterious, but after translation and summary, it is nothing more than a sentence: I teach you to practice national arts not to fight, but to make you self-cultivation + self-cultivation - there is quite a smell of Midi saying that we build nuclear bombs not to be the boss of Blue Star, but to climb the science and technology tree.

Of course, his master was not a Mi Di who liked to sell dog meat on a sheep's head after all, and he did his best when teaching him - even the Four Books and Five Classics for learning traditional virtues were brought out, and he was given a Celestial Empire name: Yuanchen! I hope that he will not embark on the evil road of preaching the Tao with strength: you don't see, there is a proverb in the martial arts of the Celestial Empire: Tai Chi does not go out for ten years, Xingyi kills people in a year, and the eight poles are scared to death back then! Whoever pursues the Tao with strength, basically, there are few who are not brave and ruthless.

Later, when he left the school, the teacher also specially warned him: The road of martial arts, only the words "sincerity", "righteousness" and "bravery", no matter when, must not be forgotten.

It's a pity that the word in the middle, at a certain time, the word in the middle, was thrown away by him somewhere. Even now, it's not entirely possible

I digress again.

To get back to the point, people who have practiced the national art of the Celestial Empire, and have not deviated from the right path, and have achieved certain achievements, generally have an ability that can be called a 'weakened version of breath obscuration'. Through this ability, whether it is a peerless knight who has killed countless people, or the head of Delong's faction, or a compassionate monk, he can weaken his sense of existence when it is not necessary - just like those tigers and lions and other fierce beasts, when they are usually full of food and drink, they lie there lazily, no different from a docile and docile big cat; But when it comes to real hunting, as long as there is a long howl, it can terrify the hearts of all beasts!

According to the different levels of the individual, the stronger ones, such as the teacher of Shichen back then, or a master who could abuse him in the Celestial Empire, can integrate their breath with the surrounding grass and trees; The weaker, such as himself, can also restrain his momentum, become less noticeable, and stand out from the crowd - like a passerby who plays soy sauce.

This is the unity of heaven and man pursued by the Celestial Empire's national arts. Compared with those brave and fierce taekwondo, fencing, Muay Thai or something, although it does not have much effect on the battlefield of head-to-head combat, but in daily life, if it is used, it will bring great convenience to people.

Think about it, do you like to be surrounded by other people's eyes all the time as an insect trap lamp in the dark, or do you want to be a drop of water in the sea and live an ordinary life?

No matter what others think, at least Shi Chen prefers the latter - he doesn't like to be disturbed at any time.

And this is also one of the reasons why he lives relatively simple on weekdays, even when he goes out alone, basically not many people pay attention - when he is in front of school and acquaintances, out of image needs, he naturally has to go all out of three powers.

Passers-by who don't have much sense of presence, and the majestic vice president of the Sanwu Student Association, put on that image when they need to use it.

Like now.

Sitting on the branch of a large cherry tree with his back to the trunk, his dark green school uniform blended with the leaves of the same color, and if you don't look closely, you can barely notice that there is a person on it. Coupled with the aura of being restrained, as long as he didn't take the initiative to make a move, then basically, no one would be able to find him.

Looking at the people who came in and out from time to time below, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Located in Mejiro, Toshimashima-ku, Makishima Mansion is a very classical complex of buildings – but nothing compared to the Sanzen-in Residence, which lives next door and occupies 65% of Nerima Ward.

On weekdays, only the husband and wife of the family and their children, the heads of the previous generations, and the people who serve and protect them live here. Only during the New Year's holidays or when visiting the door, those who work and live outside all the year round will return here.

- Of course, the children of this generation of family heads, except for the 'eldest son' who 'stays at home all day and doesn't go out', the others, whether they are the eldest lady with a free-spirited personality or the second lady who is timid and afraid of life, have all left the house. One gets married and goes abroad, while the other is exiled to a family property in Kaite-cho, Chiba Prefecture – as the name suggests: being close to school helps you concentrate on your studies and develop good habits of independence!

Although some people do not agree with this reason, and privately think that the head of the family is a little mean to his children - but that is all, after all, people still have a son, right? And a son, isn't it?!

yes, there's a big boy living here, isn't there?

"Huh"

The laughter faded away, slowly dissipating in the wind

"What's going on? That, why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

The housekeeper in the black kimono was a little anxious - he had already received the news from the Purple Mansion that the other party had left Sakura Village for half a day, but until now he hadn't seen even a shadow, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry.

"It can't be a traffic jam, right?" One of the people who was his deputy guessed, "After all, if you come from Chiba, it will take a long journey, because it is normal to delay it." ”

A little disappointed glanced at him, but the housekeeper didn't answer - if you want to block it, it should be blocked a few days ago, and now you should go back, the whole Tokyo and the neighborhood are a lot empty, and what kind of car is blocked?

"Go tell the master about this, and ask him if he wants Mr. Ayazaki to ask again? - His old man has already sent someone over to ask him a few times. ”

The master in his mouth is naturally not the head of the family who is now in the prime of life, but the head of the previous generation - that is, the grandfather of someone in this life. And the person he commanded also understood that to His Excellency, the loyal and calm old butler always respectfully addressed the other party as 'the head of the house'.

"Yes."

With a sound of promise, his lieutenant departed quickly and unhurriedly.

"Haven't you arrived yet?"

Hearing the news, the current Emperor of the Maki Island family, whose face was as old as orange peel, remained silent, and just nodded slightly, "Got it, you go and tell Ah Zheng (the old housekeeper's name) about this matter, don't worry about it." Just concentrate on hosting other people. ”

"Grandpa, you asked Grandpa Zheng to leave it alone, do you already know where Xiaoxue is?"

As soon as the servant who delivered the news left, a certain 'irresponsible woman' beside the old man immediately asked with great interest.

"You, you're already married, why are you still like this!" Shaking his head and smiling at this eldest granddaughter with a detached personality, the old man's deep eyes narrowed, "Little guy, I'm afraid I'm already at home now!" ”

"Coming home? How can it be?! Kaori Makishima looked shocked, "That guy, that guy, is this possible?" ”

It's not scientific!

Although it can't be said that it is five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, but the Maki Island family can also be called a tight defense, there should be a lot of monitoring, and the guards are also well-trained, and in this case they are silently playing and infiltrating - boy, where are you a demon!

"For others, maybe it's unlikely. But if it's the kid next to him and the little girl from the Three Thousand Courtyards, as long as you pay attention, if you just come in, there shouldn't be any problem. The old man smiled silently, "After coming in, everything will be easy for him." "Basically, you just need to brush your face + give a ban order.

"That-" Kaori Makishima turned her inquiring gaze to her grandfather, eager to try, "Do you want to send someone to find him?" ”

"Are you sure you didn't send someone to search him out?"

"Hey, hey"
