Guo Hong followed Cao Shouzhen and Lu Chaoyang, and the three of them were young and active, so they came out to play first.

Zhao Zhongxian accompanied Liu Yuanjing and would not be able to come over until later.

Liu Yuanjing is nearly half a hundred years old, facing the scorching sun during the day, wearing heavy holiday dresses, and preaching loudly, naturally sweating like pulp, and he needs to take a bath and rest to recover.

Practicing internal strength is not inviolable from cold and heat, Taoism talks about Taoism and nature, not against the laws of nature.

If you don't feel cold in winter and don't feel hot in summer, this is what Chinese medicine calls deficiency, and if it is serious, it is not far from death, and there will not be any kind of internal strength in the world to achieve the effect of air conditioning.

Liu Yuanjing cooled down Guo Hong, and he was seriously injured in a short period of time, you must know that he is a first-class master in the world today, although he is not as good as Xuanmen Wuqi, he is only half a level behind.

Cultivating internal strength will make it easier for people to mobilize physical strength, enhance concentration and reaction, but cannot increase the total amount of strength, endurance and physical strength, that is, do not exercise muscles, only practice nerve reflexes, Guo Hong's "Huang Ting Jing" and Hengshan Zhou Tiangong belong to this category.

Only by practicing external skills can you really exercise your physique, such as Shaolin boxing.

Of course, if you practice external skills all year round, your nerve reaction speed will also be enhanced, but compared with the internal skills that specialize in this way, the effect is naturally different.

Therefore, the martial arts of all sects and factions in the world have always emphasized both internal and external cultivation, and the Hengshan School Five Elements Fist is the best among them.

Guo Hong saw He Deng's family sitting around the fire on the south side, He Qiong sitting on Zhang Taijun's right, and Xing'er and Ah Yun standing behind them.

The early autumn nights were hot, so these people were far from the fire.

But if you want to light, you can't do it without fire.

He Guizhen sat on the left side of Zhang Taijun, and then there was a woman in her forties, slightly fat, who was her mother, Wang.

There were also two handmaidens behind them.

He Deng has no disciples, and there are few people in his family, and the other five Daoist disciples and servants add up to a lot, so there are already seventy or eighty people gathered here.

Although so many people came, the people who were qualified to put the lanterns were the young disciples of each family between the ages of ten and sixteen, and the total was just enough for twenty people.

Although Guo Hong is old enough, he has never learned the beast, so it is a pity that he can only not participate this year.

Cao Shouzhen and Lu Chaoyang made the river lantern by themselves, and the patterns on the river lantern were generally painted by the disciples themselves, which was also an experience for them and could enhance their understanding of the talismans.

He Qiong originally wanted to do it herself, but later accepted the gamble before asking her father to make a move, and putting the river lantern actually has the meaning of a competition, but there is no fixed standard for such a thing as a talisman, and it is not easy to judge whether you win or lose.

There was a commotion at the door of the side door of the Taoist Temple, and Wang Daoyuan, the master of the Nine True Temple, came in with hundreds of people.

The two views have always taken turns to preside over the ceremony of releasing the river lanterns, and generally the three main priests, including the main priest, will not be present, after all, they have been busy all day.

But this time the atmosphere was a little weird, except for Liu Yuanjing, almost all the important people came.

Wang Daoyuan is a fat man, very huge, but not bloated, with a round face and a smile that looks very kind.

Four years ago, Liu Yuanjing's friend and the master of the Nine Truths Temple, Zhou Chaoshuang (yu), died, and Wang Daoyuan took over the position of the master, which was a reward for his support for Zhou Mingzhuo's attack on the He family.

The Taoists of the two views were close to each other, and it took about half an hour to greet each other.

At this time, the children who participated in the training were gathered, and the total number of people was exactly forty, and there were even more people in the Nine Truths.

He Qiong got up and said a few words to Zhang Taijun, and left from her grandmother and father.

She was followed by the red beans holding the jade box, and the two walked to the fire where Guo Hong was sitting.

The girl came over and said hello to Cao Shouzhen with a red face, and the two took Guo Hong's hands from left to right and turned to the crowd participating in the training.

Lu Chaoyang muttered and followed behind the three of them, he was holding two river lanterns made of rune paper in his hands, both in the shape of lanterns, one of which was Cao Shouzhen.

Guo Hong made a medium for a pair of young boys and girls to hold hands, and listened to the two of them talking to him.

“…… Senior brother, do you know the allusion of red beans? That's from the famous poem "Acacia" by the Maha layman, red beans are born in the south, how many branches are sent in spring? May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. ......," said the girl.

"Senior brother, teach you an idiom, called not seeing each other for a day as if it were every three autumns, from "The Book of Poetry": ...... Bi Cai Gexi, not seen for a day, such as three autumns! ......" said the teenager as well.

Guo Hong felt a chill in his body, you can just talk directly, why do you want to add a junior brother in front of every sentence?

Fortunately, the road was very short, and they arrived at the place in no time.

Dozens of young people stood together, and it was inevitable that there was some noise.

Some identities have entourage, although Guo Hong does not participate in the training, but no one cares about him when he mixes in the crowd.

At this time, more than a dozen people came over, led by the three Wang brothers Wang Yancheng, Wang Yanchao, and Wang Yande.

The eldest Wang Yancheng is over sixteen years old, and this time he came to cheer for his sister, after all, the bet is too expensive, although his father said that it was foolproof, but he still had some drums in his heart.

This young man had seen He Qiong a few years ago, and heard that she was the daughter of the princess, and he had fantasized in his heart, and he saw him again this year, but he felt that the girl was becoming more and more beautiful, and he really didn't want to see her lose and be sad, so he came over and whispered: "Senior Sister He, it's too late for you to regret it now, or don't gamble!" ”

Cao Shouzhen stepped forward to block him and said, "I don't need you to worry about it!" ”

He Qiong bowed to Wang Yancheng and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Wang for your kindness, I know that this is all your father's intention, and it has nothing to do with you." But the matter has come to this point, if I regret it, I will not have the face to come to Hengshan again in the future! ”

Wang Yancheng was stunned for a moment, sighed, shook his head, and walked away.

His two younger brothers only walked in front of him at this time, Wang Yanchao saw Cao Shouzhen, his body was stunned, remembering the last time he was beaten, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he unconsciously lagged behind half a step.

Wang Yande didn't see Guo Hong, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was instructed by his cousin He Guizhen to provoke a fight tonight.

He has always been the most favored at home, and has developed a arrogant temper, he was beaten by He Qiong the day before yesterday, secretly holding a grudge, finding a cousin and being beaten to death by Guo Hong, and he has to hide it from his father, not to mention how aggrieved he is.

Now I didn't find the little devil, and I saw that there were many people on my side, so I boldly said: "Ah, isn't this the daughter of the princess, I heard that your family is in trouble now, and there are rumors in Chang'an that the six sons of the first emperor were all beaten to death as today's son!" The sage wants to convict Mu Zong of killing his father and seizing the throne, your mother is Mu Zong's sister-in-law, I'm afraid the next batch should be the turn, if you don't hurry up and roll back to Chang'an with your tail between your legs, you can also catch up with the end! ”

Guo Hong stood in the shadows, and when he heard Wang Yande say such things, he knew that this guy was a little lacking in heart.

Although Emperor Dazhong (posthumously named Tang Xuanzong) was the half-brother of Mu Zong, and it was true that tens of thousands of people were killed in prison because of Xianzong's death, but it was not characterized as Mu Zong's violent death.

Moreover, what Wang Yande said was all rumors, the emperor had just come to power and had not yet gained a firm foothold, and he had not yet had the courage to do such an appalling thing.

He Qiong is still a girl, she cried bitterly when she heard it on the side, she was from a noble background, how could she ever hear someone talk to herself like this?

When Cao Shouzhen saw He Qiong crying, he was furious, grabbed Wang Yande's collar, and was about to fall to the ground.

Wang Yancheng and Wang Yanchao hurriedly rushed forward to stop them, the four of them twisted together, and the two teenagers joined one after another, and it instantly turned into a big scuffle, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
