Chapter 81: Bad Intentions
Song Zheng thought about it for a long time, so he had to put this matter back. When you have the opportunity to go to Licheng in the future, it's not too late to find Muyu. Thinking of this, Song Zheng put away the gold leaf and opened the "Zhenyuan Knife Spectrum". After reading carefully, Fang felt the connection between the "Zhenyuan Sword Spectrum" and the "Chunyang Secret Spectrum".
"The Secret Spectrum of Chunyang" is a kind of internal cultivation method, and its function is to strengthen the body, awaken the mind and clear the brain. Through the connection of all the qi veins of the whole body, the vitality is stored in the sea of qi. In the application, more emphasis is placed on exerting the vitality in the dantian, which is often referred to as the internal force, in the opposite direction of the breath. The operation of the breath runs through all the acupoints of the body, and because Song Zheng's hand-to-hand combat technique can use the hands, feet, shoulders, and head to attack, the cultivation of the "Chunyang Secret Spectrum" can play an amplifying role in the attack of all parts of the body, and it has also consolidated a lot in defense. Otherwise, Song Zheng would not have survived Di Jie's attack, nor would he have been able to get rid of Mu Yu's pursuit that night.
"Zhenyuan Knife Spectrum" focuses on technique, but the use of its breath is a bit specious. People who practice martial arts for a long time will always have a little inner breath in the dantian. This sword book is to bring out the qi of this dantian and use it on both hands to increase the attack power. However, the breath running line mentioned on the knife spectrum is very simple and concise. Only a few acupuncture points such as Guan Yuan and shoulder well are involved. Such an internal play line naturally cannot be compared with "The Secret Spectrum of Chunyang".
The relationship between "Chunyang Secret Spectrum" and "Zhenyuan Sword Spectrum" is a bit like "Sunflower Treasure Book" and "Evil Sword Spectrum" in martial arts novels, but Song Gongzi is most pleased that he does not have to "swing a knife from the palace".
In the next few days, as long as Song Zheng was tired of reading, he would take out the "Zhenyuan Knife Spectrum" and study it carefully. Because Song Zheng had learned a little knife technique from Xiao Da and Chi Zhiming, coupled with his good understanding, he quickly understood this set of knife scores. However, when it comes to practical application, it is still far from it. This requires a long period of training and experience. As for the method of breath operation, Song Zheng directly abandoned the content contained in the knife spectrum, and instead directly applied the method in the "Chunyang Secret Spectrum". After trying it, it was really wonderful, which made Song Zheng feel a little like a fish in water. A few days later, when Song Zheng fought with Xiao Da or Chi Zhiming with a wooden knife, he was already able to reach a draw. The two of them exclaimed.
On March 15, Yan Tang and his family entered the city, and Song Zheng arranged for his family to live in the small courtyard that had been prepared, and gave him five taels of silver to buy some furniture. Song Zheng had already greeted Yang Tong and arranged for Yan Tang to become a part-time physician in the martial arts academy, with an income of half a tael of silver a month, which made Yan Tang's family even more grateful. Since Yan Tang is good at treating bruises, this is also useful. As for why it is part-time, and he goes to the martial arts academy every other day, it is because Yantang still has a "full-time job", that is, he collects a few remnants of the Iron Dragon Gang that Yantang can trust, and takes turns to monitor the Xingyuan gambling house. You can even go to the gambling house to make a few small bets and observe the movements of the Mizhou Dark Eagle.
In the evening of the next day, Song Zheng had just returned home, and Song Xiaosi came in and said that Yao Changqing had come to visit. Song Zheng smiled secretly, this big man Yao didn't know what method he had thought of, and he wanted to come and set up a trap again, so he had to see it.
Song Zheng and Yao Changqing sat down in the living room, and Ming'er came to serve tea. After Yao Changqing saw Ming'er, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled again: "Song Gongzi is really extraordinary, even the maidservants in the family are so stunning, what a blessing!" ”
Song Zheng saw a hint of jealousy in Yao Changqing's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little proud. This Yao Changqing looks good and has literary talents, but he may have some psychological problems, which is of course related to his background. Ming'er's appearance does give herself a long face! He smiled and replied, "What, Brother Yao, as the president of the alumni association, how can there be no admirers around him?" I don't know where Brother Yao lives now? Let's take a look at it when you have time! ”
Yao Changqing said an address and invited Song Zheng to have time to go. Song Zheng was taken aback, this address was not elsewhere, it was the location of the medical hall that Yan Tang's family had taken away. This Mr. Zhao taught him to be good to his illegitimate son, so he let the family take away the Yantang family's medical hall, and then arranged for his own good to live there. That location is not only excellent, but also leans on the Zhao family's compound, hehe, it is much more convenient for Zhao Huan to go to a private meeting!
Then, naturally chatted about the spring outing poetry meeting a few days later, Yao Changqing warmly invited Song Zheng to participate. He also mentioned that the annual Spring Outing Poetry Meeting is not only a grand event of the Academy of Literature, but also a gathering of Mizhou literati. At that time, not only the students and teachers of the Literary Academy and the Women's Academy participated, but also some literati from Michigan also came. In addition, some big girls and little daughters-in-law who live in the inner courtyard also took this rare opportunity to come out to play. Although the women of the Great Qi Dynasty were not as open as the Tang Dynasty, they still had more freedom than the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because of this, many literati want to show their literary talents, in order to gain the favor of a certain lady and achieve a good story of a talented and beautiful woman.
The so-called spring outing is generally to go around in the wilderness north of Weishui. The alumni association arranged ten wooden boats to carry people across the river. After playing around, I gathered at the small one-acre lake in the center of the Academy of Literature, and began to compose poems on the topics taught by the Academy of Literature, and answered them within a limited time. The winners are selected by several teachers and then given a certain reward. Speaking of which, the spring outing is just a name, and the focus is on the poems. It's not difficult to go out and walk twice, and the poetry meeting after coming back is where the literati play their coquettishness.
After Song Zheng figured out the so-called Spring Outing Poetry Meeting, he said with a smile: "Brother Yao should have spent a lot of energy preparing for such a large-scale poetry meeting!" Yao Changqing sighed and said: "This is a grand event of the Academy of Literature, even if it takes some energy and delays the cause of the imperial examination, it should be." ”
Song Zheng sneered in his heart, but he sighed convincingly: "Brother Yao is busy for your classmates, which makes the younger brother respectful." If there is anything you need for the younger brother, please ask Brother Yao to speak clearly. ”
"There's really something in trouble." Yao Changqing saw that Song Zheng called himself "little brother", and he also changed his tone: "In previous years, in the poetry meeting, occasionally some students of the martial arts academy would make trouble, and when the time comes, please ask the virtuous brother to take care of it." Together, you and I will be able to make this poetry meeting a success. ”
Song Zheng nodded and said, "That's not a problem. Alas, since it's a big event, I hope nothing goes wrong. What if I just stood at the door of the Academy of Letters and didn't let the students of the Academy of Martial Arts enter the Academy? ”
Yao Changqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Then how can it be done, since the virtuous brother is a member of the Academy of Literature and the vice president of the alumni association, how can he do it without attending the poetry meeting?" What's more, with the prestige of a virtuous brother, as long as he appears at the poetry meeting, the students of the martial arts academy will definitely not make trouble. ”
Song Zheng just wanted to test Yao Changqing, and when he saw that Yao Changqing was afraid that he would not participate, he immediately concluded that he must have some kind of means to defeat himself at the poetry meeting. Is it just a poetry competition? He is still young, even if he loses to Yao Changqing and others, there is nothing to be ashamed of. There must be a backhand! So what exactly is the back hand?
Song Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Yao is kindly invited, how can I not give Brother Yao face." Since this is the case, then I will assist Brother Yao. I wonder how the preparations are going now? I'm afraid it will cost a lot of silver! ”
Yao Changqing was a little nervous when he heard Song Zheng ask Yinliang, and he smiled and said, "It's almost ready." In terms of expenses, it is naturally a lot, but we have the membership fee of the alumni association, plus the Faculty of Arts will subsidize some to save a little money, which is almost enough. ”
Song Zheng scolded secretly, hire a few broken boats, set up a few tables, get some paper and pencils, how much money can it cost? I'm afraid fifty taels is enough. This kid doesn't know how much silver he took the opportunity to get, but he is crying poor here! After the master has collected enough evidence, he will remove the mask on your face, and even your real father will be ousted from the position of chief teacher!
The two chatted for a while, and the brother and brother were quite affectionate. Finally, Yao Changqing got up and left.
Song Zheng had a calm face, thinking about Yao Changqing's methods. At this moment, Yan Tang came. Tell him the news that since the destruction of the Iron Dragon Gang, some people have begun to search for the remnants of the gang, and it turns out that Liang Mazi, the head of the Xitangkou Hall of the Iron Dragon Gang, has also sneaked back to Mizhou from other places, preparing to rebuild a gang. What is surprising is that in addition to the original gang members, there are also some gang heirs who have been killed or sentenced. These seven or eight to teenage children even joined the gang!
