The handwritten book of the daily refining mantra has only a few dozen sentences, and Song only instructed Yang Meng to read and recite it and burn it immediately, and Yang Meng did so.
He knew that although this mantra had been passed on to him, the real and specific practice method had to be carefully experienced in the process of practicing Tiangang Fishing Toad Jin and Taijiquan in the future, but for some reason, he always felt that Song was the only move, and there was a faint feeling of being lonely and guarded.
"If you leave Senior Sister, I heard that you and your brother-in-law are going back to Tianjin, and I don't know when we will be able to meet, this talisman was asked by Qingrong in Lingyin Temple, and it was given to you and your brother-in-law, I hope you have a smooth journey......"
Because he was obsessed with that punch, Yang Meng stayed in the study for three days, and it was not until the early morning of the fourth day that Yang Meng and his wife left to say goodbye to everyone.
Ruoli was a little moved, and she also felt a little reluctant in her heart, but she didn't notice that when she hung the jade talisman around her waist, Wei Qingrong's sad and guilt-like eyes quietly hid a faint joy.
"Okay, Ruoli and his wife are just going to the capital, and it's not that they won't come back, Senior Sister Qingrong, you don't have to be sad, after Ruoli settles down in the capital, Qingshu and I will take you to the capital to see the world, and also go to their couple's house to have a good autumn breeze......"
Remembering that he was shy and had eaten soft rice in the Song family for a year, and when he came, he still looked like a turtle with empty hands, no matter how thick Yang Meng's old face was, it was inevitable that he would turn red at this time, and his heart was empty, and he quickly turned his head and pretended not to hear Song Qingqiao's sarcasm.
Thanks to the two brothers' love at first sight for Wei Qingrong, they rarely took the initiative to learn Tai Chi with their aunt, although the boxing training in the martial arts is 'less and no qi refining, no boxing for a long time', but after all, people are family students, and the son suddenly opened his mind and was willing to take the initiative to learn boxing.
It's strange to say, although the two brothers have always been proud of reading, and their figures and appearances are all beautiful to sissies, but under the influence of these years of reading and seeing, they are still a bit basic in boxing theory and standing piles, and when they are intentionally or unintentionally teased by Wei Qingrong, after officially learning boxing, not only are they working harder than Wei Qingyu's brothers and sisters, but even in the long progress of boxing, they are faster than the pair of dragon and phoenix brothers and sisters.
In this way, Song Wei is of course very relieved, and occasionally sees that the two sons still have orchid fingers and other pseudo-mothers, and they will no longer drink with a pale face as before.
It is said that loving mothers have many defeated children, which is not so obvious in Ruoli, but when it comes to Song Qingshu and Song Qingqiao, this sentence is particularly correct.
In Yang Meng's eyes, the scheming and face kung fu of the two brothers and sisters are very good, he doesn't believe that with Song Wei's eyes of daily refinement, he will not be able to see that the two brothers and sisters have some traces of strange family boxing, but the aunt's skills are not much worse than that of the uncle, is this still because he spoils his son too much?
Of course, in the case of uncertainty, Yang Meng didn't plan to say too much, after all, the Song brothers like beautiful women, that's a matter of course, anyway, it is also a common thing to bring art investment teachers in the martial arts, but I don't know if I am too sensitive or worried, whenever the two brothers compete to pay tribute to Wei Qingrong, they always feel that something is not right.
"I guess I've watched too many bloody romance dramas in later generations, and I seem to be a pure conspiracy theorist now......"
Song Wei didn't come out to say goodbye, he always didn't like the atmosphere of parting, so when Yang Meng and his wife left, they could only kneel at the door and silently kowtow three times in the direction of the study.
"Take care of Master, farewell, my West Lake!"
Just swore to walk out of the house, but Yang Meng still can't go to Shanxi, because after leaving the sight of his aunt and others, Ruoli said that when he contacted the capital earlier, there was definite news from Changhai, and the master Li Cunyi and the senior brother Shang Yunxiang had completed the twelve forms of Xingyi, and now they are afraid that they have taken 6 roads back to Tianjin.
"Brother Chang Hai wrote to say that the United Horse Gang in the Northeast is a masterpiece of the Japanese, and after he followed the Horse Gang to station in Zhang Zuolin's Xinmin Mansion for a few days, he got into a relationship with Senior Brother Hao in your name, and later found a suitable excuse with Zhang Zuolin's help and fled to the capital with Feng Junzi......"
Yang Meng frowned, and muttered thoughtfully: "In this way, that Feng Junzi is probably a member of the official family, otherwise after you withdraw from Xiangma, you will still be able to use the official road system between Beijing and Shanghai to quickly deliver news......"
Ruoli nodded, his expression was mixed with a hint of gloom and worry, "Lao Wang and I have been taken care of by Lord Weng, led by his cronies Feng Junzi, and Chang Hai and Liu Kui have pulled up the pole in the Northeast, now the war between Japan and Russia in the Northeast is becoming increasingly fierce, and the Northeast has become a thousand miles of red land, Chang Hai is now living in seclusion in the capital under the persuasion of the Feng Junzi, but as soon as Lord Weng died, the strength of the royalist line in the capital was weakened to the extreme, if you don't like it, I will completely cut off contact with Feng Junzi in the future......
"No, let's go back to Tianjin this time, it's just the time when we need to send news with our ears and eyes, no matter what royalist faction or egg yolk faction it is, as long as we don't mix it deep now, no one should pay attention to our martial arts ......"
Seeing that Ruoli's expression was a little uneasy, Yang Meng also knew in his heart that she would cut off the connection over there, for fear that it would cause trouble, so it was better to be perfunctory first, maybe he could borrow some strength, "By the way, if we take the waterway, we can also see the scenery of mountains and rivers along the way......"
Of course, Yang Meng thought that since the master was no longer in Shanxi, he naturally didn't have to make another detour from No. 6, thinking about the slight palpitations before going out, so he decided to take the waterway to Tianjin, so as not to cause any more trouble on the way.
Ruoli's face was originally a little worried, but when he saw Yang Meng, he didn't take it seriously, and suddenly he was rosy like a cloud rising, nodded vigorously with a smile, and suddenly hugged Yang Meng's arm tightly, "Xianggong said that it's okay, anyway, Ruoli ...... It's a chicken to marry a chicken, a dog to a dog......"
Maybe a little shy, the voice behind is getting smaller and smaller, Yang Meng saw Ruoli rare bird according to people, first a little stunned, and then unconsciously felt a little happiness in his heart, "The lady is so well-behaved, it is better to give the lady a bath at night to improve her skills, I am like today's gang fishing toad strength can be regarded as a small practice, uncle said that as long as you don't indulge in dogs and horses, it will be okay, and after being married for so long, it is time to give Xianggong a son to play......"
"I'm going to kill you, where did you learn the crazy words at such a young age, and that bathing skill is your kind of usage? How convenient is this along the ship...... When I went to Tianjin, people naturally ......"
Gently taking a few strokes of the powder fist, Yang Meng's mood was not very good, thinking that he was about to really start the sexual happiness life after the end of the Qing Dynasty, he suddenly felt that the whole world was going to be wet, "Let's take a walk, let's hurry up and ......"
Looking at Ruoli with a look of shame, Yang Meng grinned, ignoring the somewhat surprised eyes of passers-by, and grabbed Ruoli's little hand and walked towards Gongchen Bridge (that is, Beisanli Bridge), that is, the end point of the ancient canal in Hangzhou.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is one of the oldest canals in the world, and it is known as the three major projects in ancient China together with the Great Wall and Karez, which is famous all over the world, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, and is also the main water transportation artery running through the north and south.
Of course, since the rise of maritime transport in the nineteenth century and the opening of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, the role of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has gradually decreased, and this is also a portrayal of China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal social conditions in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.
Fantasy is always plump, but reality is incomparably skinny.
After the two of them got on the boat, Yang Meng realized that what he saw in the book really can't be taken too seriously, especially at the moment when Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia and other powers colonized China, on the canal for thousands of years, not only can not feel the slightest poetic and picturesque feeling, on the contrary, only the sky is full of huge black smoke from the ferry, and then look at the banks of the canal, a dilapidated and scattered house, it is really not an exaggeration to say that it is full of devastation.
"The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the spring grass and trees in the city are ......"
Just as Yang Meng and his wife were standing on the boat chatting with emotion, a man suddenly took Du Fu's 'Spring Hope' on the side and walked over from the side of the boat.
The man looked fair and elegant, dressed in a straight suit and extremely elegant, probably only in his thirties, with a Western-style split head that gnawed on both sides of his ears, and a pair of piercing eyes that looked indescribably strange and inexplicably familiar.
Yang Meng touched Ruoli slightly, and turned his head to look at the man in the suit who suddenly appeared and looked a little reckless.
A warm and strange smile appeared on the man's face, and he politely clasped his fists and said, "The idlers in Beijing and Hangzhou meet the crazy monkey Yang Meng!" ”
Yang Meng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that this somewhat familiar smile was obviously a typical Japanese and Korean cheap smile popular in later generations, but he didn't expect this kind of cheap smile to appear so early, especially a big man. V girl-like smiling, is this the earliest colonial-style sissy?
"Are you...... Japanese...... Ming Yanagi? ”
Ming Liusheng's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect that Yang Meng would see through his origin at a glance, but he thought that this trip was just a chance encounter, and the secret on his body was just a casual one, so he reluctantly continued to laugh: "I didn't expect that Mr. Yang still has a lot of research on our Liusheng family, and this time I came to bother you, just to ask Mr. for a medicine on the way!" ”
Yang Meng: "What medicine?"
"Daily Refining Sword Technique!"
Yang Meng paused slightly, and then his expression became very exciting: "Is your brain in water?" Don't say no, even if you do, I can't give it to you! ”
