Early in the morning, birds sing on Mount Taimuro.

However, the melodious cry revealed a trace of loneliness in the mountains.

Li Yanqing is ready to leave Yugu! It's just that after getting up, I found that Yanhu was not in the valley. Yan Qing didn't go to Yan Hu, because he knew that at this time, Yan Hu would climb to the top of the mountain, spit out the old and absorb the new, and practice martial arts. Yan Hu's martial arts are very clever, and he has reached the peak realm of cleansing the marrow and returning to the void. But if you don't take your muscles and bones as your ability, even if you are as smart as a tiger, you can't get rid of this law.

Therefore, since ten years ago, he began to shift from external strength to internal strength, and practiced the art of internal strength.

As for the exercises he practiced, Li Yanqing was no stranger: the Washing the Pulp Sutra.

In the martial arts novels of later generations, the Washing of the Marrow Sutra and the Yijin Sutra are described as superb, which is the supreme treasure of Buddhism. But in fact, the Pulp Washing Sutra is more of a combination of Taoist health preservation techniques, through various ways of practice, to strengthen one's own qi, blood and mood. To be precise, the Washing the Pulp Sutra should be regarded as a Taoist classic. But for some reason, it was later included in the classics of Buddhism.

Yan Qing once asked Yan Hu for advice and found that the Pulp Washing Sutra was very similar to the guidance and health preservation techniques taught to him by Sun Simiao, and it could even be said to be in the same line. Yan Hu will not have anything to hide from Yan Qing. So when Li Yanqing offered to practice martial arts with him, Yanhu nodded without hesitation.

In the practice of martial arts, Yanhu is a hundred times smarter than Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing even felt that several of his teachers, including Yu Juluo, who taught him the lance method, were far as powerful as Yanhu. It's normal to think about it, on the one hand, I am practicing martial arts in Shaolin Temple; On the one hand, it is tempered in the world and stained with red dust. The original intention is different, and the attitude towards cultivation is naturally different. Li Yanqing could feel Yanhu's obsession with martial arts.

He admired Yan Hu very much, but he couldn't, and he couldn't follow Yan Hu's ......

Li Yanqing didn't go to Yanhu to say goodbye, and after leaving a note, he left Yugu with his luggage on his back. For three years, while keeping filial piety, he secretly arranged. Although he was very busy, he did not fall behind. After all, there is a person like Yanhu around to supervise him, and even if Li Yanqing wants to be lazy, he can't find a chance. Now, Li Yanqing has also reached the point where he is easy to turn into a god, walking between the mountain roads, as if walking on the ground.

At noon, he had walked out of Taimur Mountain and came to the gate of Shaolin Temple.

The majestic sea and Kan Leng, with twenty-four ink unicorns waiting in the temple. Li Yanqing first visited the abbot, and then led Xiong Kuohai and others to leave Shaolin.

After three years, the elephant dragon has entered the development of the whole country.

He was too long, his voice was hoarse like thunder, and his speed was extremely amazing. Li Yanqing stepped onto the elephant dragon and galloped all the way.

When he arrived outside Huoshan, he turned around and went to Qinglongguan and visited Zhao Xichen and Yuan Tiangang. The area of Qinglong Temple is not large, and it is divided into two small courtyards of reading, which are not subject to incense, and only accept the worship of Yanqing. Among them, Zhao Xichen occupies a courtyard and serves the patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty. I don't deal with people very much, and when I have nothing to do, I practice alchemy, or find someone to sing and sing, and I live a very leisurely life.

Many people in Gong County know the Qinglong Temple, but they don't know Zhao Xichen.

On the contrary, it is Yuan Tiangang, who is more familiar to people. This is also because he is highly respected by people because he is proficient in hexagram magic and is proficient in medical skills.

In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, when Yuan Tiangang visited the Zhiyuan Daoist of the Jingyun Temple in Nantuo Mountain, he found a genius.

This person's name is Li Chunfeng, and he is originally from Qizhou. His father, Li Bo, was a local official during the Kaihuang period, and later because of his bad background, he came out as a turbid official, and he was depressed and unambitious. After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he purged officials on a large scale, and Li Bo also dismissed his official position and returned to his hometown.

However, because he was good at Huang Lao's skills, he was dismissed from office and became a monk.

Li Bo's writing is not bad, and he calls himself Huang Guanzi. After becoming a monk, he annotated the book "Lao Tzu", so that he became famous in Taoism. Sometimes it's just so wonderful. When Li Bo was not a monk, he devoted himself to cultivating sage books, hoping to benefit one party, but he was never allowed to enter his door. But after becoming a monk, it was originally to be born and gain a great reputation. Its astronomical calendar method, yin and yang feng shui technique, is extremely exquisite.

It is precisely because of Li Bo that Li Chunfeng has been Taoist since he was a child, and adheres to the family history.

In the seventh year of the Great Cause, Li Bo was preparing to compile the "Fang Zhi Picture Anthology", so he entrusted Li Chunfeng to his friend to practice under the Yuan Dao Changmen.

Li Chunfeng has been known as a 'prodigy' since he was a child, and he is well-read, and he is even more fond of astronomy and geography, and the study of yin and yang.

After Yuan Tiangang took the school examination, he was shocked. So he grinded hard and soaked hard, and from the hands of Zhiyuan Daochang, he brought Li Chunfeng, who was only thirteen years old, into his door and brought him to Qinglongguan for training. Yuan Tiangang also mentioned this matter to Li Yanqing. Although Yan Qing had a flat expression at that time, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng...... In the early Tang Dynasty, the two great gods were all in my hands?

At the beginning of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Li Yanqing was canonized as a baron of Gongxian County.

In Gong County, and even the entire Xingyang County, it can already be regarded as a strong party. Especially in Gong County, although Li Yanqing has no official position, he has supreme power. He can enter and leave the county government freely, and he doesn't even need to pass it. Officials do not have to visit the shrine, and local officials do not have the right to interrogate and arrest them.

Such power allows him to rise above the county government.

In addition, he opened the Qilin Pavilion and edited the notes of the sages, and his literary name was so loud that some people have called him the Grandmaster of Shilin.

No matter how powerful Li Chunfeng is, he is just a boy with a hanging bun now. If Li Yanqing hurried to see Li Chunfeng, he would definitely attract the attention of others. With such a character, Li Yanqing doesn't plan to let it go easily. He has to look for an opportunity to see Li Chunfeng justifiably. And now, here's the opportunity...... He passed through Huoshan and visited Zhao Xiqiao and Yuan Tiangang, but no one could say anything.

After all, this Qinglongguan is an industry under Li Yanqing's name.

Dismounted outside the Qinglong Temple, Li Yanqing stepped up the steps and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A childish voice came from the Taoist temple, and the door opened closely, and a handsome Taoist boy walked out of it. He was thirteen or fourteen years old, a little short, and his body looked thin, as if he was stunted. A pair of bright eyes looked at Li Yanqing curiously.

"Master is not at home, if the donor has something, please come back again."

Li Yanqing's eyes narrowed, and he pointed at Daotong and said, "You are Li Chunfeng?" ”

"Who are you, and why do you know my name?"

Sure enough, it was him!

Li Yanqing smiled, "Who am I, I won't tell you first." I've heard that you like astronomy and arithmetic, yin and yang. Then I'll take the test for you, can you figure out who I am? ”

Li Chunfeng's eyes widened and he stared at Li Yanqing for a long time.

Suddenly smiled: "It turns out that the benefactor came to the door, you are the goose boy, right?" ”

Li Yanqing has never seen Li Chunfeng, and in the past few years, he has lived in a simple house and rarely shows up. When the Kirin Pavilion opened, he appeared once as the organizer. When he was named a man in Gong County, he also set up a flowing water mat once. However, at that time, Li Chunfeng had not yet come, so it was naturally impossible to meet Li Yanqing. Since then, Li Yanqing has mostly been on the mountain to keep filial piety, although occasionally out of the mountain, it is also to go to Niuzhukou, or Xingyang to visit friends, hurriedly come, hurriedly return, the number of people who have seen him, can be said to be a handful.

"Hey, you actually figured it out?"

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "This is not a yin and yang technique, it's just a guess from the way."

Gongzi is extraordinary, after seeing me, he knows my name, and he thinks he knows my master. I heard Uncle Zhao say that the goose boy once went to Goguryeo and brought back the twenty-four tiger guards, and he was accompanied by black and white. Childe's entourage is all tigers and wolves, and the black and white are eye-catching, even if Xiaodao has never seen Childe, he can guess the clue. ”

He grinned and pointed behind Li Yanqing.

Yan Qing came to his senses and nodded again and again.

"Daoist Xiao, where did your master and Daoist Zhao go?"

Li Chunfeng said: "Today is Xue Gongzi and Master Daoxin discussing the Tao in the Qilin Pavilion. Master and Uncle Zhao were invited to watch the ceremony. ”

"Then why don't you go?"

"I also wanted to go, but I didn't do my homework in the first two days, and Master punished me for copying the "Bu Sangang Six Records Sutra" a hundred times in the meditation...... Xiaodao had only copied it more than sixty times, so he couldn't go to the ceremony. ”

Xue Shui is a typical Confucian scholar, and the Xue family in Hedong is also one of the few families who do not repeat the method of cultivation. Xue's style is mainly based on Confucianism, supplemented by military science. Therefore, the people of the Xue clan have knowledgeable celebrities and generals who have conquered the world, but there has never been a master of metaphysics.

And Daoxin has the mantle of the three ancestors of Zen Buddhism, and the Dharma is profound.

The distance between Shinenji Temple and Kirinkan is not very far, so there is a lot of communication between them.

The dispute between Xue Shu and Daoxin over Confucianism and Buddhism has been going on for a long time. On the fifteenth day of every month, the two would argue on the platform of the Kirin Hall. Gradually, this dispute between Confucianism and Buddhism attracted the attention of many people. Of course, Li Yanqing knew about this grand feast. At the beginning, when Xue Shui and Daoxin were arguing, Fang Xuanling also wrote a letter to Yanqing to pay more attention to it. However, Li Yanqing didn't care, and even secretly added fuel to the fire. As a result, the influence of this dispute between Confucianism and Buddhism has become more and more significant, and even Master Fashun, who is far away in Chengdu, has sent people to participate.

Fashun sent people to come, and Confucian students, of course, would not stand idly by.

So at the end of last year, there was Dr. Chang'an Guozijian, a scholar of the Ming Jingke in the fifth year of the Great Cause, and Kong Yingda, a native of Hengshui, who lived in the Qilin Pavilion and participated in the feast. Although Kong Yingda is not a big person, he is a descendant of Kong Sheng. In addition, the third doctor was born and was quite famous in Shilin.

With the increasing support of both sides, this unicorn hall feast has become a grand event.

For this reason, Li Yanqing can be said to have tried his best.

He not only wanted this event to be limited to Confucianism and Buddhism, but also hoped to involve Taoism as well.

It's a pity that Taoist celebrities are mostly obsessed with cultivating immortals, and few people are interested in it. However, now it seems that with the continuous expansion of the influence of the Qilin Pavilion Sutra Feast, the people in the Daomen gradually can't sit still...... Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Xichen were previously disdainful of the feast.

Li Yanqing invited them several times, but refused to participate. But today, the two of them took the initiative to go, does this also show that the Daomen is moving?

The more lively, the better!

Li Yanqing thought of this, and smiled secretly in his heart.

He looked at Li Chunfeng and suddenly asked, "Little Brother Li, would you like to watch the ceremony with me?" ”

The tone is quite seductive, as if it is the wolf grandmother who seduces Little Red Riding Hood. Although Li Chunfeng is not bad at learning, he is a child after all. If you are a child, you will inevitably have the psychology of joining in the fun. He had long wanted to watch the feast, but Yuan Tiangang had always disagreed, and he was helpless. Now, Yuan Tiangang has been involved, and Li Chunfeng feels like he has a small hand in his heart, constantly scratching.

He subconsciously bit his nails, a little hesitant.

Li Yanqing said: "Since you don't want to, then I won't force it." I'll go first, you copy the scriptures slowly, and look at the Taoist temple. ”

"If I go, what if Master blames me?"

Li Chunfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Yan Qing smiled, "If you sneak out by yourself, of course your master will be unhappy." But now, you go with me. Even if your master wants to blame you, I will intercede for you. ”

"Well, if Master blames, you must speak for me."

"Hehe, it's a deal."

Li Chunfeng was suddenly elated and said, "Wait for me." ”

He ran back to the Taoist temple and packed his things.

Li Yanqing stood in front of the steps of the Taoist temple, waiting with his hands in his hands.

"Young master, why do you want to bring a little Taoist boy back?"

Xiong Kuohai couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Since Yanqing was named the baron of Gongxian County, Xiong Kuohai changed his title under the advice of Xiong Da Hammer.

After all, Yanqing's status is completely different from that in the early years.

If Yun Caiwei is just a military officer, then the Gong County man is a serious title.

This identity is more noble than that Qianniu preparation. If the majestic sea calls for 'brother' like before, it will be accused of committing a crime. In the Sui Dynasty, the etiquette was not as strict as in the Song and Ming dynasties, but the concept of hierarchy was extremely serious.

Li Yanqing himself doesn't care too much, but it doesn't mean that others don't care either.

Xu Shiji is okay to say, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he is a six-grade eagle general, and he calls Yanqing's name directly, although it seems rude to outsiders, it is acceptable; Xiong Kuohai is different, he has no official position, and he has no background. More often than not, it seems to be a guest of the Li family.

So in terms of the title, there has to be a change.

However, for Xiong Kuohai, whether it is 'brother' or 'young master', the surname is the same, but the statement has changed.

Li Yanqing is still Li Yanqing, the majestic sea is still the majestic sea.

Perhaps in the eyes of Yanqing and Xiong Kuohai, although they are not brothers, they are closer than brothers.

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Although he is a little Taoist boy, he does have the ability to reach the heavens.

Big black man, don't underestimate this little guy, maybe one day, he will have the ability to cry ghosts and gods. ”

Xiong Kuohai pursed his lips and muttered: "The earth-shattering ghosts and gods may not be, I can make him fart and urinate with a slap, it's true." ”

But when he said that, he remembered Li Yanqing's words in his heart.

As far as Xiong Kuohai is concerned, Li Yanqing will not lie to him, maybe this kid really has unexpected skills.

At this time, Li Chunfeng put on a brand-new gray Taoist robe, and ran out happily with a Taoist book in his hand.

"What to take it for?"

Yan Qing asked in surprise.

Li Chunfeng smiled: "Doesn't it look very knowledgeable like this?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, you are holding a Taoist scripture, how do you look like a magic stick. I can't see if I have any knowledge, but the demeanor of the god stick has been revealed.

"In that case, we're ready to go."

Li Yanqing turned over and straddled the horse, but Li Chunfeng stood on the steps.

"Li Gongzi, I can't ride a horse......"

That little face, flushed.

Xiong Kuohai urged the horse forward and muttered, "It's so big, I can't ride a horse yet." When the young master was six years old, he was able to subdue the white dragon horse. ”

After all, he still stretched his ape arm lightly on the horse, reached out and picked up Li Chunfeng and put it in front of him.

"Little Taoist, why are you so light?"

"I ......"

"At your age, remember to eat more meat. If you don't eat meat, you can't grow your body...... When I'm your age, I can eat half a bucket. ”

Although the words were a little abrupt, they felt warm to Li Chunfeng.

Soon after he was born, his father became a monk and his mother remarried. With Li Bo's cold surname, it is difficult to show any eager attitude towards Li Chunfeng. Later, he learned the Tao in the Taoist temple, and the Zhiyuan Taoist is also not a person who likes to talk and express emotions.

Yuan Tiangang and Zhao Xichen are better, but those who cultivate the Tao pay attention to pure hearts and few desires, and their joy and anger are invisible.

Like Xiong Kuohai, it is the first time for Li Chunfeng to express kindness in straightforward words.

Li Yanqing urged the horse away, and Li Chunfeng whispered in Xiongkuohai's ear: "Master and Uncle are both immortal cultivators, and they rarely have a desire to eat. ”

"Cut, what about cultivating immortals? Don't the gods eat?

Why, then, do we visit so many offerings during the sacrifices...... The young master said that immortals are made by people, and people want to eat. ”

Li Chunfeng hurriedly waved his hand, "Big black man, don't be disrespectful to the gods, there are gods three feet above your head." ”

Xiong Kuohai's face changed, and he nodded again and again.

"Big black man, you're a good guy, although you're ugly."

"Hehe, the young master also said that I am a good person."

The two people, one big and one small, walked and talked at the same time.

Unconsciously, the group had come to the outside of the Valley of Hundred Flowers. This is said to be a 'valley', but it is not actually a valley, but a depression on the bank of Luoshui.

Because of its topography like a valley, coupled with the blooming of wild flowers, in spring and autumn, as far as the eye can see, a sea of flowers, inherent in the name of a hundred flowers.

The Kirin Pavilion is more like a huge mansion.

It is set up in the direction of the innate gossip, and there is a main hall in the center, which is called Qilin Terrace.

In the middle of the house, the position of the prince of heaven and earth is set up, and the images of the sages of the Confucian dynasties are hung in the center. This is also a place where the scholars of the Kirin Pavilion communicate with each other and debate.

Around the Qilin Terrace, there are a total of eight reading courtyards, which are where the scholars compile and repair books.

Each seowon has a variety of books. It is classified according to the classics, history, arithmetic, etc. In each college, there is a person in charge of the college, who is called the dean. Under the secret work of Li Yanqing and Wang Fei, the Qilin Pavilion has now begun to take shape and is well-known in Shilin.

Seven of the eight colleges have been put into use.

Originally, according to the assumption of Xue Shui and others, Li Yanqing should also preside over an academy. However, Li Yanqing resolutely resigned, and vacated the academy located in the cadre position to store the classics of the past dynasties. In this way, among the seven academies of Qilintai, there are a total of 97 scholars.

When Li Yanqing arrived at the Qilin Pavilion, the feast had already begun.

There were many onlookers, and Yan Qing did not alarm others. He first asked Qilinwei to stay outside the Qilin Pavilion, and then quietly walked into the library with Xiong Kuohai and Li Chunfeng.

At this time, on the Qilin platform, Daoxin Xue was collected, and the argument was in full swing......

(To be continued)
