In the city of Nanjing in the first month, the snow is drifting, and the cold wind is still there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The red lanterns on both sides of the bluestone streets, as well as the red couplets in front of each house, bring a touch of warmth in winter to the whole city.

Ruixue Trillion Year.

This year's heavy snow is sure to be a good year for another year.

At the same time, there was also a good news in the imperial city.

His Majesty the Emperor will grant amnesty to the world, pardon the sins of the Semu people, and order the reduction of taxes for the coming year, and crown the second prince Zhu Gaoxu as the king of Han and the vassal state of Yunnan, and the third prince Zhu Gaosui as the king of Zhao and the vassal state of Hubei.

In fact, the people did not care about the enthronement of the two princes, but as soon as the news of this tax came out, the people all over the city rushed to tell each other and thank the emperor for his holy grace.

After all, who is in power and who is king, what does it have to do with them, the people?

It's just that compared with this festive street, the Hanlin Courtyard, which is only one street away, is busy.

Hundreds of scholars wrapped in cotton clothes are sitting in various courtyards, their brushes constantly sliding, writing neat characters one by one.

It is said that only in a prosperous age can you repair books. If it weren't for the strength of the country, then how could there be spare money in this world for these 2,169 people to copy books.

……

Above the Minshan Taoist Sect, an old man in a green robe was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, sipping tea thoughtfully.

"I don't know if the master of the Qin Sect came to my Taoist sect today, in the capacity of the master of the Zhengwu Sect of Confucianism, or as the commander of the Jinyi Guard?"

Opposite the old man in the green robe sat a man in a black python robe with a resolute face, and said.

And this man in a black python robe is the commander of Jinyiwei, and he is already the master of Zhengwumen, Qin Weiming.

I saw him pause for a moment before he said respectfully.

"Zhang Zhenren, today I came with several brocade guards, and I thought I was here to meet Your Majesty."

Although the words in his mouth represent the imperial court, the attitude in his words is very sincere, as if he is a junior who is asking for advice from his elders.

In fact, he is the head of the Confucian martial arts, and his rank is equal to that of the head of this sect.

Therefore, he may have a reason for being so respectful.

I saw Zhang Zhenren blowing the hot tea in his hand, and said slowly, "I don't know what the Holy Lord has ordered, do you need Lord Qin to come in person?" ”。

Qin Weiming's eyes moved slightly, and he had already sensed a hint from the old man's eyes.

So, he said in a deep voice.

"Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has ordered the world to revise the book of Yongle Canon. The saint heard that the Taoist sect was in the Yin and Yang Geography, and he was particularly proficient in the way of alchemy and medical divination. So let me come and ask Zhang Zhenren for a lesson or two."

Zhang Zhenren thought about it for a while, and after a pause, he spoke.

"It is said that the prosperous era cultivates books, and His Majesty wants to leave a classic for future generations. This is the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and my Taoist sect should fully cooperate with the Holy One."

Qin Weiming's eyes were stunned, he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily.

So, he had no choice but to give up.

"A real person can have such an idea, Qin Weiming is here to thank Zhang Zhenren for His Majesty and the people of the world."

Then, Zhang Zhenren put down the teacup he had just drunk, looked at the other party sitting across from Yu Zhi, and said leisurely.

"It's all about the blessings of the world, so there is no need to say thanks. It's just that this Taixuandan's prescription is useless to the people, it is used for cultivating martial arts, and it is the foundation of Taoism. If it is spread in the world, I am afraid that it will make people with hearts greedy, and it will not benefit the people. Therefore, it is inconvenient to pass it on, and I also ask Lord Qin to convey it to the Holy Lord."

Qin Weiming saw that the other party was unwilling to hand over these two pills, and he was not unhappy in his heart.

Because, he didn't come this time to get anything, he just needed to know whether this Dao sect recognized the current saint.

Not only that, but in fact, with these people he brought, it was really difficult to get the slightest benefit in front of the world's top two sects.

So, he said respectfully.

"What Zhang Zhenren said is very true, Qin Weiming should tell him."

................

......

About an hour later, dozens of brocade guards said goodbye to the Dao Sect.

In fact, for this trip to Minshan, it can be seen from Qin Weiming's eyebrows that have been difficult to smooth for a long time that he still has some regrets.

In fact, he had come to meet an old friend from twenty years ago, an old friend with whom he had fellowship with his life.

However, I don't know if the other party is deliberately avoiding it, or if the other party does have something important to go out.

In short, the person he wanted to see, the person he hadn't seen in twenty years, had never been able to meet.

-------

The mountains don't know how the years have changed, and the curtains don't hear what is happening outside the window.

The worldly world above the rivers and lakes and in the court, the people in the valley naturally have no way of knowing.

And Shi Wuwei still practiced martial arts in the courtyard every day, and from time to time he would still go down the mountain to do some rough work for the valley people.

At this moment, another month has passed since the master passed on the exercises in the snow-capped mountains that day.

During this month, the master lived in seclusion and did not go out again.

But if a careful person observes, he will find that he has been coughing every day since that day.

And the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have deepened a little, and even his face is no longer rosy.

Mu Yiyi had already noticed the change in her master's land, but although she was unwilling, she couldn't talk about it in front of her senior brother.

Therefore, try to make the best meals every day, and take time out to talk to the elderly every day.

Although the elderly's health is deteriorating, their mood is not affected.

It seems that this red world has nothing to do with himself.

The old man seemed to be in a good mood today, the female apprentice was beating his back for him, while he was watching the results of the eldest apprentice's cultivation.

"Wuwei, as a teacher, I have watched you practice swords in the past few days, and I already feel that there is a hint of meaning. It's just that I don't know how well you practiced the sword moves in the Taiyi Sutra."

Shi Wuwei saw that the master asked about the swordsmanship in the scriptures, and he expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Master, this vertical and horizontal technique pays attention to attacking and breaking, while the Taiyi True Scripture is a combination of keeping and softness, and it is a method of mutual restraint. The disciples are stupid, and they still don't know how to perform this Taoist sword move."

The old man smiled, and felt that the apprentice had already discovered the difference between the two, and it was already good.

So, he laughed.

"Yes, it's exactly what you say. It's just that in the vertical and horizontal swordsmanship of the teacher, the horizontal sword must turn defense into offense. Taiyi's sword moves are also not completely defended, but a method of four or two thousand catties, and lifting weights like light. But you need to know that when it moves a thousand catties, it is the strongest sword in the world. So, in fact, there is something in common between the two, and you will need to practice diligently in the future to master the mysteries."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Wuwei was obviously stunned, and thought in his heart, "This... What the master said seems to be like that."

Although the master's words failed to make Shi Wuwei have an epiphany, they also opened a window for him, so that he could peek into the mystery of the supreme martial arts of the Dao Sect in the world.

So, he said respectfully.

"Apprentice Xie Master Teachings".

Immediately after, the three of them chatted freely in the courtyard.

In recent days, the old man often talks about his past when he was young.

It was an era of war, and it was also an era of the rise of many heroes.

Countless heroes and heroes are united, and each of them contributes their own strength to the expulsion of the Tartars.

Now, the prosperity is gone.

At that time, Haojie's best friend had also become loess, but he was left alone to stay in this world.

Whoever sees this situation and this scene will feel regret and sigh.

"As a teacher, I often yearn for the pre-Qin years, which was the moment when the world was full of flowers."

After listening to his cough, he continued to yearn for the words, "All the sons of a hundred schools, bee out and do together, each lead to one end, worship its goodness, collect the world's doctrines, and create immortal exercises." Now, the sons have died, and although the hundred families are here, they are only a piece of cruelty."

Indeed, as Lu Yunxian said. At that time, there were hundreds of schools, but now, there are only two sects left: Confucianism and Taoism.

The master and apprentice looked at the master's slightly sad and sentimental things in the world, and their hearts were not good.

"Master, if you are only in the pre-Qin period, I think I am afraid that the old master will also bow down to you." Mu Yi quipped.

"Haha..... cough..". Lu Yunxian had obviously been amused by his female apprentice, so much so that he laughed until he coughed.

"This matter of the public war against Qin Qiong, I'm afraid it's hard to say..... as a teacher often wants to witness the demeanor of the holy master, but most of the people in his sect have now become people who covet fame, and they have long since ceased to be the holy saying of Qilu."

He is right, since Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism.

The hundred schools of martial arts are lonely, and now there are only a few small sects left, and there are still the remnants of the hundred schools of the year.

After Confucianism was respected, although there were many disciples, they had all become courtiers, and they had long forgotten the grand wish of the ancestors to rule the world.
