Chapter Twenty-Six: Arriving at Tangyin and Knowing Where to Stay
"The husband is less moral, less old, old age, sickness, death, death. Deify all things, gas into spirits, and refine into shape. The spirit essence is three transformations, refining into a true immortal. Therefore, the cloud stores essence, nourishes the spirit, and refines the qi, which is the god of the three virtues, and it must be known.
The meridian is the gateway for yin and yang to enter and exit. Staying focused is called Zen. The supernatural power is ever-changing, and it is called the spirit. Wisdom through everything, called wisdom. Dao Yuan Aiki, which is called cultivation. True qi returns to the source, which is called refining. The dragon and tiger intersect, called Dan. The three Dan are the same deed, and it is said. If the cultivator knows the root of this, he can enter the path. ”
Zhao Gou opened "Fetal Breath Formula" and only said a few words, crying and laughing: "Master, is this playing with me?" With only a little text, no images, and no annotations, how can you practice? It's just chicken ribs, you can only look at it, but you can't use it, how can this be good? ”
Staring at the few words written on the page with wide eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see why, he could only stare at it, and he didn't say a word, distressed. In a hurry, Zhao Gou drove the air pocket opened for him by Chen Tuan's ancestor, and a vague breath entered the book, only to see that it was clearly written again:
"It is knotted from the volcanic qi, and the qi is breathed from the womb. Qi entering the body is called life, and God leaving the form is death. Knowing that the spirit can live forever: cling to nothingness in order to nourish the spirit; Divine action is qi, and divine dwelling is qi dwelling; If you want to live forever, you should be angry. The heart does not move, there is no coming, no going, no entry and exit, natural dwelling, diligent practice, is the true way. ”
"Whoever wants to give birth to a rest, first in the ashram, do not let people enter, sit upright, put the left foot on the right foot, untie the garment, press the limbs slowly, hold the hands firmly on the legs, that is, exhale three or five times, so that there is no stagnation, cleansing and leisure, and being humble and solid; Slowly shake the body left and right, so that the dirty leaves stretch, sneer, and slowly put down; That is, the drum of the sky is thirty-six over, and the pond is full of gargle; Then he wears a red bird on his head, walks on his feet, a green dragon on his left shoulder, and a white tiger on his right shoulder; Then I want to think that one inch between the eyebrows is the Ming Hall, but into the two inches for the cave room, but into the three inches for the Dantian Palace, also known as the mud pill Palace, there are gods in the palace, two inches long, wearing a green crown, wearing vermilion, holding the Jane; In the middle of the middle of the dantian, the heart is also, also known as the Jiang Palace, there are gods, and they are also clothed in vermilion; The second time to save the dantian is two and a half inches below the umbilicus Ziwei Palace, also known as the sea of qi, there are gods and men ......"
There is only one piece in front of this exercise, and all the back is a blank piece of paper, and you can't see any text. Only through Zhao Gou's breath connected with the words recorded in the book, and the words behind it can be seen. So, Zhao Gou closed his eyes and quietly breathed.
After a while, Zhao Gou felt that the heat on his body was well guided, no longer standing still, but being able to use it a little, and even his spirit was much better, and he couldn't help muttering: "The effect is so good, the whole body is warm, just like the feeling of the master opening up the air pockets of the whole body for me, will it become infinitely powerful if I practice it so repeatedly?" ”
Zhao Gou couldn't help but have some fantasies, he imagined that he was infinitely powerful, fighting with the enemy, and no one could resist his strength, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud. At the beginning, when he practiced martial arts, he ignored the importance of basic skills, and got the exercises taught by Chen Tuan's ancestor, so that his defects became no longer obvious, and he had the capital to be able to compete with others, even if this road was a little difficult, as long as he persevered, he would definitely be able to continue to improve.
Then, Zhao Gou opened the "Taibai Yin Sutra" again, and after opening it roughly, he was surprised and ecstatic: "This military book is really a strange book, and it can be regarded as one of the top ten military books." In this book, there are human schemes, miscellaneous rituals, battle equipment, preparations, formation diagrams, sacrificial texts, quick books, prescriptions, miscellaneous occupations, Dunjia, miscellaneous formulas, etc. The first word is that the lord has morality, and the latter says that the country is rich and strong, and it is both internal and external, which can be described as a fair theory, which is very different from the general military book who uses power to seek each other. ”
"As long as you study this military book well, you will definitely become a marshal of one side, and lead the army to sweep away all obstacles, which is as easy as a finger." Zhao Gou was overjoyed, calmed down and thought about it, and whispered: "Why has such a strange book never appeared in the history of the Great Song Dynasty." If he has this military book in hand, what is the Jin people afraid of, as long as he has enough military power, no matter how many troops he has, he will not be able to break through the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not leave a shame for the ages. ”
Zhao Gou pulled his palms fiercely, remembering that in history, the two Great Song Emperors of Huizong and Qinzong were taken away by the Jin people, and the harem concubines, even the princesses, palace maids, etc., all died in a foreign land, or they became the playthings of the Jin people. Although it was not yet that time, whenever he remembered that this matter was imminent, Zhao Gou was anxious and angry, and secretly swore: "With this strange book, what are you afraid of, he will definitely change the tragic role of history one day." ”
So, Zhao Gou collected the two strange books, and then rode his horse again and galloped towards Tangyin County.
A few days later, Zhao Gou finally arrived in Tangyin County, and looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street, and everyone looked sideways. Although they had seen too many people riding horses, they had never seen a six-year-old child riding a horse. When Zhao Gou got off the horse's back and stood up straight, he could only reach the horse's belly, revealing a hint of surprise.
Tangyin County is the county seat of Xiangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the territory of Anyang City, Henan Province, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhending Mansion, and the army of Hebei West Road is stationed nearby, and it is also the most famous "hometown of the three saints", namely Wusheng Yue Fei, Wensheng Zhou Wenwang, and Yisheng Bian Que. It's just that the current Yue Fei is only a ten-year-old child, and he has not yet become a real general.
Zhao Gou has never rested well from Xiangzhou for several days, but his spirit is still very good. At this point, the exercises he practiced came into play and refreshed him. Zhao Gou was hungry and a little hungry, so he came to a store at random, ordered braised beef and ate it happily, and ate half a catty of beef before he was full.
Seeing that the shopkeeper, shopkeeper and others were dumbfounded, they were all stunned by Zhao Gou's appetite, and they all forgot the dishes on their plates. From beginning to end, their eyes stayed on Zhao Gou's body, and they never left at all. Zhao Gou was really hungry and couldn't stand it, even if it was a fetal breath, there was no way for him not to eat whole grains, he slept in the open along the way, and he didn't have a complete meal, and he finally ate such a delicious dish, and he couldn't help it, gobbling up the dishes on the table.
"Little two settle accounts!" Zhao Gou had a full meal, and then called the shopkeeper.
At this time, the shopkeeper came to his senses, greeted him with a fart, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, a total of two taels of silver, thank you for your patronage!" ”
Zhao Gou nodded slightly, took out ten taels of silver tickets from his body, that is, Jiaozi, and the shopkeeper saw that it was ten taels of silver tickets, and said: "Guest officer, you wait a while, the small one will be exchanged for you." So, Zhao Gou sat upright, glanced around, and found everyone's curious eyes, he smiled slightly, and everyone hurriedly withdrew their gaze and ate the dishes in front of them.
After a while, the shopkeeper came to Zhao Gou and respectfully handed over the rest of the silver to Zhao Gou's hands. When he turned to leave with a smile on his face, Zhao Gou called out to him and said, "Shopkeeper, I have something to inquire about." If you can answer it, here is a tael of silver, which is the reward I gave you, how about it? ”
If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, and if you don't look at the face of the Buddha and look at the money face, you must know that two taels of silver are enough for an ordinary person to eat my rations for several months. For the shopkeeper, how not to be impressed. The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly: "If there is any problem with the guest officer, if the little one knows, he will definitely tell the truth." ”
Zhao Gou glanced at the shopkeeper, and saw that his gaze had been fixed on the white flower silver in his hand, he shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't look at it, as long as you can answer my question, this is yours." I want to ask you about someone, I don't know if you have heard of a person named Zhou Dong? ”
The shopkeeper's eyes moved away from the silver, and he said with a smile: "The guest officer wants to find Zhou Daxia?" Looks like you want to worship him as a teacher? ”
Zhao Gou was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
"Although the small shop is a small business, there are many customers in the past, and I have seen many foreign guests, all of whom come to apprentice or challenge Zhou Daxia. It's just that Zhao Daxia has refused to visit behind closed doors, and his thoughts are all pinned on the only son of Yueyuan's foreign family, and he also accepts him as a righteous son, and the father and son are commensurate. ”
The shopkeeper said eloquently: "With the age of a guest officer, coming here will definitely not be a challenge to him, he can only learn from a teacher and want to learn a skill." Zhou Daxia is a well-known big man in this county, and even some people from neighboring counties will come to visit him, but he is turned away, and he rarely sees guests. ”
"In that case, I wonder where he lives?" Zhao Gou hurriedly asked.
The shopkeeper replied: "Zhou Daxia lives on the outskirts of the county seat, where there is no one around, only where he and his disciples live, which is also the place of Yueyuan's family property. Therefore, Zhou Daxia has been staying there, staying at home, even if anyone goes to see him, he is reluctant to show up, only a few of his names, and a few others have the opportunity to see him, the villain advises the guest officer, or don't touch this brow, so as not to be driven away by his disciples, or Zhou Daxia. ”
The shopkeeper kindly reminded that Zhao Gou never took it to heart at all, and his mind wanted to meet Zhou Tong and then worship him as a teacher. So, after Zhao Gou asked the shopkeeper for the specific location, he left two taels of silver and left in a hurry. Seeing that Zhao Gou didn't take his words to heart, the shopkeeper didn't bother to care about him, his eyes looked at the white silver in his hand, and he smirked.
After a month of travel, Zhao Gou finally arrived in Tangyin County and got the news he wanted. Sleeping in the open along the way, Zhao Gou felt that it was all worth it. As long as he can worship under Zhou Dong's door and learn the art of riding and archery, then he can really lead the army, ride on the land of Jin, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the vast land, at that time, the people of the world can live a richer life, the world is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is his greatest hope all along, and he does not want the historical tragedy to repeat again, and he can't help but whip the horses again, and the speed is faster.
