"You must remember that this book of war should not be taught to anyone else, lest it harm one party." Ancestor Chen Shu advised, "This is the master's comprehension of the Taoist mysteries, the five elements of yin and yang, written by the master, condensing half a lifetime of hard work. At the beginning, the master anticipated the crisis of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to give guidance, but was blocked by the traitors in the court, so that this military book was burned. ”

"If it weren't for the master's original manuscript, I wouldn't have been able to sort it out. As it stands, this book is the only one you know, and it will certainly be useful in the future. As for the time when you want to teach it to others, it may take hundreds of years before it can be truly announced to the world. ”

"Why?" Zhao Gou looked at Chen Tuan Ancestor incomprehensibly, and said suspiciously: "This book was written by the Venerable Master for half a lifetime, carrying his heart of yearning for peace. If you meet someone who is destined, why can't you pass this book on to him and pass it on to someone who can really use it, isn't this also a great thing for the benefit of one party? Could it be that there is some mystery hidden in this book? ”

"Your thoughts are the same as those of Poor Dao!" Chen Tuan Ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Back then, Poor Dao saw that this book contained the five elements of yin and yang, with the help of the right time, place and people, non-divine power, reusing manpower, advocating that people will win the sky. Therefore, I asked the master, but I was told by the master that it would take hundreds of years for the book to actually come out. ”

"Half of the master's hard work was ruined, and at that time, the master's heart ached. Soon after, the master actually said that the man did a good job. Afterwards, the master told me that the man burned it with a fire, and he also understood that there were some things that still needed to be done according to the will of God. ”

"In the pre-Tang Dynasty, China was unprecedentedly powerful, the king of a country, the body of ten thousand gold, and the submission of the four seas, which made the vanity skyrocket, and no one dared to refute it, and gradually indulged in wine and greedy for pleasure. The military book written by the master emphasizes the conspiracy of people rather than ghosts and gods, provoking the taboo of the emperor, and there are traitorous ministers, so the master can only live incognito, living in the mountains and forests, and dare not come forward at will, so as not to invite the disaster of killing. ”

Zhao Gou lowered his head and pondered: "People are plotting instead of ghosts and gods, this is even a famous saying." Although a person who has learned the Tao, he has not forgotten human nature, and he is indeed a person of great wisdom and courage. If Tang Xuanzong really saw this military book, he might pay more attention to his own cultivation, and he should not indulge in wine and waste the dynasty in his later years. ”

"The subjects of the world are under the control of the emperor, and the king of a country is a god to the common people, high and sacrosanct. If the emphasis is on human scheming and does not believe in ghosts and gods, then the deterrent effect of the king of a country will be greatly reduced. In this way, it will definitely provoke the taboo of the emperor. ”

Chen Tuan Ancestor continued: "That man burned the master's hard work, the master was not angry, but a little happy, since then he no longer cares about the affairs of the court, and concentrates on the study of the art of deduction, as well as the art of yin and yang five elements, but the understanding of the Tao is more profound, and finally the master is gone, all with a smile on his face." ”

"However, before the master died, he must let me keep this secret and not let this military book be circulated in the world, absolutely not at present. However, time is running out, Poor Dao is a person outside the party, but also a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and I met you again, so I ignited hope in my heart, so I will teach this book to you, you must remember, this military book, for the time being, can not be circulated in the world, you yourself know that it is okay, not fully comprehended, you can also study it slowly, otherwise, if the villain gets this military book, it must be a misery, attracting heavenly punishment. ”

Zhao Gou replied solemnly: "The kid should keep it in mind and never spread it." ”

"Poor Dao can also leave with confidence!" Old Ancestor Chen smiled slightly and said, "If there is fate, we will definitely see each other again in the future; If not, don't do it. ”

When Zhao Gou heard that Chen Tuan Ancestor had left, he was a little reluctant in his heart, he was just an outsider, but he was so sincere to him. So, Zhao Gou knelt on his knees and shouted sincerely: "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!" ”

Old Ancestor Chen was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Okay! …… Unexpectedly, Lao Dao came out this time and unexpectedly received a disciple, which was really fate! ”

He saw Zhao Gou's respectful and sincere eyes, and Chen Tuo's ancestor happily agreed and accepted Zhao Gou. Back then, when he went to light Yue Fei, he didn't accept anyone in the door. Moreover, Chen Tuan Ancestor was originally a person from the Daomen, and accepting Zhao Gou was unexpected, and he was a little excited.

Chen Tuan Ancestor has never accepted any disciples in his life, even if he is a Taoist child, he is an orphan and picks it up and teaches it in martial arts and Taoism. He also knew in his heart that Zhao Gou's worship contained gratitude, and more sincerity. Chen Tuan Ancestor smiled casually and said: "Lao Dao will accept you as a disciple, but you are a person in the imperial family, and you have the spirit of the emperor, you can't inherit the mantle of the poor Dao, this is against the will of heaven, even if you are a disciple of the outer sect." ”

"There is nothing for the teacher to be a teacher, and there is nothing to teach you, let alone great magical powers, only Taoism. The poor Taoist is a pure and void Taoist, he has no worries, pursues the ultimate Taoism, and does not want to accept your disciple in the Great Song Dynasty, which is really a blessing for the old Tao. Back then, my other master once said that I had a master-apprentice relationship, and after more than a hundred years, I still didn't get anything. ”

Zhao Gou saw that Chen Tuan Ancestor was full of emotion, and mentioned another ancestor, and couldn't help asking: "Master, is there more than one ancestor?" ”

Chen Tuan Ancestor smiled dumbly and said: "The teacher is an orphan, living in Zhenyuan County since childhood, and the elders in the village are very good to me, and they want to repay the people in the village with fame. I never thought that by chance, I met a master of Taoism, and he was also a hermit, his Taoist name was Daguanzi, born in the former Tang Dynasty, and then lived in seclusion. ”

"I met the master, and the master remembered that I had a wisdom root, so I accepted it as a disciple and followed the master all the time, giving up the heart of fame and pursuing the Tao. That book of war is the only treasure that led the teacher into the Taoist master and left me with it, I will teach it to you, and you must carefully understand the mystery. ”

"Later, the master passed away, I traveled all over the world, met the second master, he is a physiognomy master, the face of the person has never made a mistake, got the title of 'half immortal', followed the master to learn art for many years, and also learned physiognomy. It's just that the master's life is nearing the end, and before I die, I can't speculate on the heavens, meet others, and say that it is God's curse. ”

"Since then, I have practiced the Tao alone, wandered the world, preached in Mount Emei, and was called 'Emei Zhenren', and then lived in seclusion on Wudang Mountain, all year round. At that time, there was chaos in the world, and the heroes rose together. If it weren't for the scene of Taizu and Taizong's one child and two emperors, the world wouldn't know that I was still in the world. ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he asked, "Master, do you really know the immortal method?" ”

"Definitely!" Ancestor Chen shook his head and said with a smile; "As a teacher, there is no kind of great magic power that moves mountains and seas, but some illusory methods, as well as the ability to deduce heavenly opportunities and face-to-face. If it weren't for stargazing at night and deducing the heavenly opportunities, the teacher would not have met you, let alone have a master-apprentice relationship with you. ”

"The future has become unpredictable, and the only thing that can be said for sure is that man will conquer the sky. You are the ninth son of the current emperor, and you are also the king of Guangping County, when you are crowned, you can become the prince, and then you can enter the court as an official. ”

Zhao Gou was surprised, he knew that Chen Tuan Ancestor had guessed his identity, but he never thought that he would understand it so clearly, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart: "Could it be that the way of deduction is really so powerful?" Not only can you meet each other, but you can also know the past, which is really mysterious. ”

"Apprentice, the teacher is also leaving, you can't stay here for a long time, see you again in the future!" Old Ancestor Chen showed a kind gaze and said amiably: "The way of governing the country, the way of being a minister, and the way of being a teacher can't be taught, and there is not much time." Since we have a master-apprentice relationship, then the teacher will teach you some exercises, which should be of some help to you. ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch a book handed to him by Chen Luan's ancestor, the paper was a little yellowed, it was still not as old as the previous military book, looking at the big characters clearly written on it, he couldn't help but whisper: "Fetal breath!" ”

"This is the method of internal breath created by the teacher, you are relatively weak, and you are a person who practices martial arts, this exercise is also of some use to you!" Chen Tuan Ancestor has been in Bianjing for three years, and has been observing Zhao Gou's situation, and he also knows that his body is a little weak, and after thinking about it, only this method of internal breathing is most suitable for him.

Since they are masters and apprentices, Chen Tuan's ancestor did not hide his secrets, and directly took out the "Fetal Breath Formula", which is a method of internal breath recuperation, borrowing the natural qi of heaven and earth, circulating gradually, dredging one's own meridians, and conducting qi to run, giving Zhao Gou the most needed exercise at present.

Zhao Gou said respectfully: "Master Xie gave you the exercises!" ”

"Come here!" Chen Tuan Ancestor motioned for Zhao Gou to come, he did not hesitate to come to Chen Tuan Ancestor, only to see Chen Tuan Ancestor's hand quickly click on Zhao Gou's body, Zhao Gou felt a warm air flow all over his body, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and heard him say: "The teacher has unlocked the qi pockets of the whole body for you, and you can practice again, there is no obstacle to it." ”

Chen Tuo Ancestor quickly clicked on a few big points on Zhao Gou's body, his breath was a little disordered, Zhao Gou's nose was sour, his eyes were a little ruddy, and what he wanted to say was stuck. Chen Tuan Ancestor breathed a little, his breath returned to normal, and when he saw Zhao Gou showing such an appearance, he felt a little touched in his heart, and remembered that the time was not early, and said in a positive voice: "Go for the teacher, the road in the future depends on yourself, and the teacher hopes that one day I can see you in high spirits, lead the Great Song army to expel foreign enemies, and protect my rivers and mountains." ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly knelt on his knees, choked with tears streaming down his face: "The disciple will definitely live up to the trust and swear to defend the Great Song Dynasty to the death!" ”

Chen Tuan Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly: "I believe that you will do it for the teacher, and you will go for the teacher!" ”

When Zhao Gou raised his head, Chen Tuo's ancestor had disappeared, Zhao Gou held back the tears in his eyes, wiped the tears on his cheeks, stepped on the horse again, and walked away. As everyone knows, at the moment when he left, the disappeared Chen Tuan Ancestor reappeared in the same place, his eyes were focused on Zhao Gou, and he muttered: "The stability of the people in the world is pinned on you!" …… Now, the Great Song Dynasty is unpredictable, so I can only wait and see what happens, and I am very curious about who you are in the mortal world......"

A gust of breeze came, and a green leaf was raised, flying and flipping in the air, like a dancing woman, Chen Tuan's ancestor disappeared again, like a legendary immortal, fleeting. As for the follow-up between Chen Tuan Ancestor and Zhao Gou, let's not talk about it for the time being.
