Chapter 9: Apprenticeship

Zhu Zhanji chose not one master, but two, these two seem to be immortal, a master of the world, and his methods are really in line with the image of a master outside the world.

Zhu Zhanji alluded to Zhu Di that after showing it, someone reported the information of the two of them after a while.

The age difference between the two is not much, the white-faced and beardless person is called Yiqingzi, and the common name is Zhong He, and it is said that he is still the direct descendant of Zhong Liquan.

Zhongli Quan is the prototype of Zhongli of the Han Dynasty in the Eight Immortals, called Yunfang, a native of Jingzhao Xianyang in the late Tang Dynasty, a famous qigong master, and is said to be one of the Eight Immortals. It is known as "Han Zhongli".

The name comes from Du Fu's poem "I heard Wei's sister closely, and I am far away in Han Zhongli". Han refers to the "Later Han" established by Liu Song during the Five Dynasties.

He entered the Nanshan Monastery because of the war and chaos, and then entered Shu, Jintang Taoist Aunt Li Zhenduo gave the "Taiyi Dao Guihuo Fu Jue", so Zhong Liquan has a deep attainment in Neidan, and is the author of "Song of Breaking the Mystery of the Right Way", "Lingbao Chapter", "Finger Xuan Chapter", "Elbow Behind the Elbow Sancheng Chapter" and other qigong monographs.

It is rumored that Lu Dongbin worshipped him as his teacher, and Chen Pu, a fifth-generation qigong master, was also taught by Zhong Liquan in Qingcheng Mountain in Shuzhong.

Of course, many of the stories are falsely spread and deified. But it's true that Yiqingzi has a good kung fu. Otherwise, he would not be able to become a lay disciple and now become the worship of the Qingcheng faction.

He practiced the ancestral kung fu Zhongli Baduanjin, and when he was performing just now, he played a set of kung fu, his face was not red, and he was not panting, so that Zhu Zhanji, a person who knew the goods, knew how good he was.

The other is the Wudang Taoist Xuanzhen Taoist who even Zhu Di knows, he is the contact person of the Wudang faction in the capital, and he has met Zhu Di once.

Needless to say, Zhang Sanfeng is a well-known big man in martial arts novels, and he can't do it in real society.

From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Di, all of them have great respect for Wudang, Nanya Palace, Jinding doesn't know if it has been built, Zhu Zhanji also hopes to have the opportunity to see.

None of them are people with no sect and no faction, and their backgrounds are innocent, so Zhu Di directly asked people to call them over and ask them if they were willing to be Zhu Zhanji's master.

Zhu Zhanji originally thought that the two of them would have to compete for a high level, but he didn't expect that the two of them would also be old acquaintances. They gave in to each other, but Zhu Zhanji simply didn't give them a chance to be humble and took them by his side.

As for their treatment, Zhu Zhanji didn't talk about it at all, and Zhu Di naturally wouldn't treat them badly.

The two of them couldn't live in the palace, so Zhu Di arranged the two of them to live temporarily in the apse of the Imperial City Taimiao, and each of them also arranged two little Taoist priests to serve.

They don't need to do anything else, it is their job to go to the side hall of Zhu Zhanji in Wenyuan Pavilion to learn Wen for an hour every afternoon.

It is not far from Miyagi here, and you only need to pass through the left gate, the left door, and the left gate to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion.

The two masters, Xuan Zhen from Wudang, belong to authentic Taoist disciples. Wudang was deeply favored by the royal family, and he did his best to Zhu Zhanji, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhu Di to build a few more Taoist temples for them.

Yiqingzi lives in Qingcheng, and the family has two branches, in Weinan and Sichuan, they are all big families. A secular family naturally wants more.

As long as he asks for something, Zhu Zhanji is naturally not afraid that he will not do his best, after all, the world belongs to the old Zhu family.

In terms of force, Yiqingzi is slightly stronger than Xuanzhen, but he knows very little about Taoist allusions, and often asks Xuanzhen for true scriptures.

Realistic martial arts is not like in the novel, just practicing an internal force, otherwise you will go crazy.

Whether it is Zhongli Baduanjin of Yiqingzi or Professor Xuanzhen's Tai Chi Neijiaquan, there is no conflict between the two.

If you really want to go crazy, you also need deep internal strength. In reality, there is simply no such internal force that can turn mountains and seas over.

Zhu Zhanji was six years old, and he was still ignorant in the eyes of the two Taoist masters, but they taught him Taoist knowledge and taught him to recognize the meridians of the whole body, but Zhu Zhanji knew it all over again, which made them all amazed.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't care at all that he will shock the world, as long as Zhu Di's love for him is undiminished, no one in this world can slander him.

Moreover, since Zhu Zhanji's first appearance in front of the minister in early May, his wise name has spread all over Jinling.

Zhu Di dispelled the idea of moving the capital, and the ministers present all put the credit on Zhu Zhanji.

The millions of residents of Jinling all praised Zhu Zhanji, and they were also the people who were most grateful to Zhu Zhanji. If the capital is really moved, I don't know how many big families in Jinling will be far away from the center of power in the court.

Therefore, these vested interests, when they mention the prince of Yan Wang, they all praise him again and again, thinking that he has the appearance of a master.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know anything about this, his daily time was full, and he was immersed in the study of new knowledge.

In modern times, traveling around can be regarded as a martial arts idiot.

It was only when he became an adult in his first life that he began to learn various martial arts, and he was not considered a young adult until he was thirty-five years old.

In the second life, he was young at the age of twenty, and before he was thirty years old, he formed his own martial arts system, integrating various martial arts into one, and he could be regarded as a generation of grandmasters.

In this life, he practiced martial arts at the age of six. Baduanjin and Tai Chi Neijiaquan are both the pinnacle treasures of traditional Chinese martial arts, and now they are taught by two masters, so he is confident that he will be able to achieve results at the age of eighteen.

No matter how early it is, because only when he reaches the age of eighteen will the development stage of the human body be completed, and before that, he will not dare to toss his body too much.

Taoist Kung Fu, whether it is channeling, breathing, or breathing, actually only has two complete systems.

One is visualization. Breathing, breathing, channeling, the most important thing is to calm the mind and calm the body.

Vipassana, contemplation, contemplation, contemplation of the sky, contemplation of the nose, and contemplation of the earth all require the practitioner to be able to do without anything else in the body and mind, and to replace heaven and earth with his own body.

The second system is circulation. Tai Chi, Liangyi, Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, these are two sides that oppose each other, attract each other, rely on each other, and support each other.

Establishing a stable circulatory system between these two is actually the purpose of cultivation.

When these two conditions are met, the maximum potential of the human body can be developed naturally.

However, the biggest difference between internal kung fu and external kung fu is that you can't master the progress of the practice.

Outside kung fu, running 5,000 meters today, running 6,000 meters tomorrow, this is progress. Being able to lift 100 pounds today and 120 pounds after practice is also progress.

All progress is visible.

But many people don't feel their progress even if they practice it for months or years.

This also makes many people who have no hope of getting started deny the existence of internal kung fu.

However, negation does not mean that there is no existence.

Traveling around in modern times, the first life relied on yoga to touch the threshold of inner kung fu, and half a foot has stepped in.

In the second life, he can be regarded as a real beginner.

It's just limited by the depth of yoga development, and it can't go far. After Zhou You touched the ceiling, he always wanted to break through, but he didn't succeed.

Until he crossed over, although he was a master of integrating various martial arts, he still did not find a way to develop deeply.

That's why he only wants to open up another path now, and with the foundation of cultivation in two lifetimes, he can reach the point of the second life at the worst.

If we can continue to make breakthroughs in this life, it will be an unexpected joy.

Every morning when he woke up, he would play a set of Baduanjin and practice Tai Chi Neijiaquan again, and then he would have breakfast, then study literature in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon.

Born in the royal family, he has far more resources at his disposal than ordinary people.

Whether it is a variety of internal tonics, or bathing, you can take a bath with a traditional Chinese medicine formula, and you can want any medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials of this era are not the medicinal materials cultivated in later generations, most of them are pure wild Chinese medicines, and the effect is naturally extraordinary.

The two masters did their best for him, collected all kinds of precious Taoist prescriptions, and changed the amount at any time according to the changes in his body, in order to make his body develop better.

The time entered the late autumn, after the busy farming, it was time for the peasants to serve in labor, and the construction of the capital of Beiping was also officially implemented.

However, this time it was only to repair the city wall and immigrate wealthy families, and the expansion of the Yanwang Mansion was not on the agenda, and the scale was much smaller.

In the Jinling Imperial Palace, two weddings were held in a row after the farming season. Zhu Di's remaining two youngest daughters, Princess Xianning and Princess Changning, married Song Ying, the son of Song Sheng, Marquis of Xining, and Mu Xin, the son of Xipinghou, respectively.

Zhu Zhanji participated in both weddings, and it was difficult to leave the palace twice.

However, he is young, and even if he leaves the palace, he is protected by three layers inside and three layers outside, and he has no chance to see the prosperity of the world's largest city in this era.

Zhu Zhanji was not in a hurry, and he was still in the dormant stage.

When he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, it's better for him to keep a low profile.

All the princesses are married, and Queen Xu is even more boring. Zhu Zhanji was asked by Empress Xu to live in the annex hall of Kunning Palace, although he had to attend classes during the day, but at least he had more time to accompany Empress Xu at night.

In this way, his cheap mother Zhang wants to see him, and there is not much chance.

Although Zhu Zhanji is a child now, he has the soul of an adult, and it is simply a breeze for him to make such a lonely woman happy.

After winter, he applied to Zhu Di to take Empress Xu and his cheap mother to the royal palace in Tangchi Hot Spring for the winter.

Yuike Hot Springs was developed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has always been the royal hot spring of all dynasties.

The Ming royal family not only has another courtyard there, but also a special greenhouse vegetable base, which is dedicated to fresh vegetables for the palace.

Zhu Zhanji built his own vegetable plot in the name of having fun. But this vegetable field is more of a work done by Queen Xu and his mother, Princess Zhang.

With this vegetable patch, the two women didn't feel bored anymore, and they didn't even want to go back to the palace when they lived here.

Zhu Zhanji didn't want to go back, because here, his time was freer, and he was able to live with the two masters and study martial arts all day long.

But when the New Year came, they still drove back to the palace, because Zhu Di had already decided that he would be crowned the crown prince in the New Year.
