Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, for the Tang family, it is also a big day, the Tang family has a total of seven sons, Tang Guan is the youngest, still at home, the other six sons, are all officials in various places, only during the New Year, only come back to save relatives.

A few of them have seen the Sun family, and they know that Tang Jian Xuxian married a lady, but there are also those who have never seen the Sun family. And there are a lot of people during the Chinese New Year, and relatives who can't beat the eight poles will also come to the door, Li Mu is worried that the Sun family will be looked down upon, so he came again, just to set up a scene for the Sun family. Anyway, he is now a figure in the court, even if someone slanders him, he will never dare to show it in front of him. For the sake of the Sun family, he broke through the wall of Dali Temple and killed people in anger, which is still circulating in the streets, who dares to provoke him if he doesn't want to die.

Fortunately, there are no such unknown people in the Tang family, Li Mu accompanied him for a meal with an expressionless face, most of them were holding him, he didn't hear the harsh words, and there were few people talking to him during the banquet, probably because of the difference in status, I don't know what to say.

Li Mu was also happy, looking at Sun's red face, he was also happy for her.

This is actually a woman with a rough fate, and her family has died tragically due to years of war on the border. married a soldier and died in the war, and his only son, who was still picked up, was helpless and did not dare to confess.

Now married to Tang Jian, fortunately, this old guy is a righteous gentleman, and Li Mu is now on the rise, like the sky, and he can be counted on, after more than 30 years of hard work, he finally has a good life.

Since he knew that Sun was not his "own mother", Li Mu's feelings for Sun had undergone very complicated changes. Many of the reasons are not because of the Sun family, but from his own pessimism, he is very eager to have a complete family, but two lives, this small wish can not be achieved, so he now values his family very much, he does not want his children, repeat the mistakes of the past.

Leaving from the Juguo Mansion, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien saw that Li Mu's face was not very good, and they were a little afraid to speak. Li Mu leaned on Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, hugged her tightly, didn't say anything, and returned home like this.

When he got out of the carriage, he returned to his usual high-spirited appearance, and asked Wang Ou to come over and eat hot pot together. But Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien knew that their husband had bitterness in his heart, but he didn't want to say it.

……

During the Chinese New Year, Li Mu gave himself three days off. From the first to the third year of junior high school, but he was not idle, he has been dealing with the matter of the polo match and the ring, and the Salesian Bureau has also sent a New Year's gift package in the second year of junior high school, food and use, and prepared a copy for each child. But he didn't show up, he just let Ergou go, because he didn't want to be like the kind people he met in his previous life, send a schoolbag to take thirty photos, and leave after taking pictures. Although this is also charity, it is not a good experience for the hearts of children.

The Cheng family runs a horse farm and already has some experience. The polo game was developed on the basis of the racecourse, the rules have been set, and there are no major mistakes in other business aspects. What Li Mu can do is to remind him in the details, but it doesn't actually play much of a role.

On the side of the ring match, Li Mu found a lot of problems after watching a game.

In Dugu Jiu's head, the biggest role of the ring match is to find him an opponent. The second role is to recruit people for Jinyiwei. He doesn't want to find a ring match to see if anyone is watching, as long as he can decide a winner to compete with him, he's happy. But Li Mu has developed inertial thinking, if he does one thing and no one pays attention, he will be very uncomfortable. If it doesn't make money, it's uncomfortable, so the situation has to change.

So early in the morning of the second day of the new year, Li Mu took Tang Guan to the ring. He first inquired about the martial arts people who participated in the competition this time, and learned something that surprised him very much. When Li Mu asked what sect he was from, many people were confused, and Li Mu was also confused, and only after careful inquiry did he know that in this era, there was no such thing as a sect. This point is very different from the information he collected when he participated in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty Heroes".

This made Li Mu very interested, and after pulling Dugu Jiu to study it, he completely figured out this matter.

It turned out that in the early Tang Dynasty, people who practiced martial arts were not so much divided according to sects as by "thoughts". This is directly related to the birth of martial arts, the essence of which is the development of one's own potential. And people are ignorant of their own understanding. This development process requires a certain amount of imagination. Just like the operation of internal strength, no one knows which acupoint to start from to which to learn to end is to maximize the benefits, you can only try, and how to test is determined by thought.

China's historical evolution and the period of ideological outburst are the era of "a hundred flowers contending". The "sects" of this period, such as Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, soldiers, etc., all had their own martial artists, and their kung fu was tested according to the ideas they firmly believed, which was also the prototype of the first sect.

And with the deposition of the hundred schools and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, each family declined. Such a sect also disappeared in the long river of history, and with the Wei and Jin dynasties, Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth. On the land of China, a distinction between sects with "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism" as the ideology as the prototype has basically formed.

But this distinction is only in thought. The idea is that your kung fu is based on which kind of thought is imagined.

For example, Sun Simiao's "Taixuan Jing" to Li Mu is a typical Taoist martial art.

The treasure of Shaolin Temple, which originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourished at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" and "Yijin Sutra" left by the Bodhidharma Patriarch are typical martial arts founded by Buddhism.

Although these kung fu were founded with different ideas, they are all methods of developing the potential of the human body.

During this period, there were few people who started the teaching of martial arts. Most of them are still passed from father to son, or like Sun Simiao's "Taixuan Sutra" to Li Mu, looking for a destined person. And why this is done, firstly, it is self-cherished, and secondly, it is also because these martial arts are all thought up by the founder with a pat on the head. It may be suitable for him, but it may not be widely applicable, and he will not be able to teach others. Therefore, there are basically few masters from all walks of life on the rivers and lakes who are still from the same school.

The name of Shaolin Temple is not loud now, because Shaolin's martial arts are extensive, but because it is too extensive, the power is very average. After training, he is not much higher than the captain in the army. The real high-end martial arts of Shaolin are in the hands of the "Shaolin Thirty-six Rooms", each of which has its own stunt and will not be easily taught. Between the rooms, disputes are also constant, and there is a big difference from the Shaolin Temple in the TV series that Li Mu watched in later generations.

Therefore, there are very few sects in the rivers and lakes, and everyone is a wild man, so when Li Mu asked what sect he came from, everyone was a little confused.

That's not going to work!

Li Mu figured out the problem and was a little worried. He still remembers that when he was a teenager and was addicted to martial arts, one of the most attractive points for him was that before the two masters made a move, they reported to their respective families.

"Blowing snow at the lower west gate, the sword is three feet and three minutes long—" How handsome it sounds.

Something has to change.

On the evening of the second day of junior high school, after the end of the day's competition, Li Mu called Dugu Jiu, Tang Guan, and the masters who were going to compete the next day aside.

"What's your name and where is your hometown?"

"In Xia Yueping, the ancestral home is Shuzhou."

"What are the famous mountains and rivers nearby?"

"Yes, there is a Qingcheng Mountain."

"Very good, you remember, you are from the Qingcheng faction, don't forget to report yourself when you play tomorrow."

Yue Ping was stunned and said, "Master Hou, there is nothing on Qingcheng Mountain, you can only collect firewood, isn't this a lie?" ”

"It's for hype, you don't understand it, you just say it. In addition, have you ever done anything commendable since you practiced martial arts? ”

Yue Ping thought for a while and said: "In order to grab the water source, there was a fight with the neighboring villages, and after a few years of kung fu, I defeated them with one block of six. ”

Li Mu nodded, and said to Tang Guan next to him: "Write it, Qingcheng sent Yue Ping, because the evil bandits occupied the water source, they fought for the neighbors, one person and one sword, and broke into the bandit village alone." Fought more than 30 bandits and returned with a great victory. ”

Tang Guan wrote on the paper with a brush, made Yue Ping's face flushed, and said continuously: "Master Hou must not, there is no such kung fu in the future." Under one enemy six, it is also relying on the blade in hand, the opponent does not have the advantage of the blade, if you fight alone, you can fight two people, even if you are too much, you really dare not be a bandit village, and you can't do it! ”

"Do you need to do it? Lao Tzu is here to sell tickets! Don't talk nonsense, take it and memorize it, don't ask once you ask about the stuffing, the next one! ”

"Why don't you have hair?"

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, I haven't grown my hair since I was a child."

"You don't have long hair...... Okay, you are from Shaolin, remember that you are a lay disciple of Shaolin, and your master once helped the Tang Righteous Army defeat Wang Shichong. ”

"But I don't know which one is Wang Shichong?"

"I don't need you to know each other!"

Li Mu taught Tang Guan the routine hand by hand, Tang Guan deserved to be Li Mu's first sought-after person, and it didn't take long for him to master the trick.

Some people who have studied for a few days were named by him as the Death Scholar. There is a big sword, and he named the divine sword invincible. Just listening to the name, the masters here are all one hundred, and I don't know if the gimmick is enough.

Li Mu saw that Dugu Jiu was silent next to him, thinking that he was unhappy, so he leaned over and asked, "What's the matter, are you dissatisfied with the arrangement of the eldest brother?" ”

Dugu Jiu shook his head and said, "Big brother, I'm thinking, which sect should I be considered from." I have a lot of teachers, and I don't know which school I should be. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "This is just to find a gimmick and buy tickets, what sect is not a sect, if you like it, build a sect yourself, how about calling it Dugu Jiujian?" ”
