Chapter 56: The Origin of Jing Zhai
Cihang Jingzhai,
It was the first place of cultivation of the royal family, to be precise, the place of cultivation of the emperor's woman! In ancient China, there has always been the custom of burial, among which the burial of the living was very popular in the Yin Shang period, after the death of the king, they sent everything they enjoyed before their death, including the beautiful wives and concubines to the grave, it can be said that in addition to the biological mother of the queen and some princes, the concubines who have no heirs will basically be buried!
It was not until after the Qin and Han dynasties that this custom was relatively restrained, and it was often replaced by wooden figurines and terracotta figurines. However, convergence is convergence, and after the emperor's death, the disposal of so many women is indeed a problem, so you can't let people remarry casually, or mess around outside, right? As a result, a better place was gradually derived, and that was - to become a monk!
In the early Qin and Han dynasties, Buddhism was not introduced to the Central Plains, so the so-called monasticism was actually monasticism.
Cihang Jingzhai, as a royal Taoist temple, shelters such a group of women. After the death of a generation of kings, most of his concubines, except for a small number of people such as the queen, will enter Cihang Jingzhai and directly enter the management of the inner gate, and because the emperor's female identity is sensitive, there are naturally no men in the inner door, so there are only women in the inner door of Cihang Jingzhai. Of course, in addition to the concubines, there are also some real cultivators in the inner gate, led by the lord of the fast, who jointly decide the future of Cihang Jingzhai.
It is precisely because Cihang Jingzhai has the continuous support of the royal family, and there are always many people close to the royal family in the inner door, so the general policy of Cihang Jingzhai is always to support the Han family! However, it is precisely because of this special composition that the queen mothers of all dynasties did not deal with Cihang Jingzhai. Empress Dowager He is the best example, when she was the queen, she didn't feel anything, and was even willing to send her son to Cihang Jingzhai to raise, thinking that it was safer than the palace, but once she became the queen mother, all the former enemies entered Cihang Jingzhai, do you say that Empress Dowager He will rest assured that Cihang Jingzhai?
Preconceived, he already has absolute malice, Diao Chan who came out of Cihang Jingzhai, how dare Empress Dowager He believe it! That group of women, who lost to her at the beginning, are now united, and they don't know what to do with their mother and son! This is what the young emperor Liu Wei has never been able to understand, the change in his mother's attitude towards Cihang Jingzhai.
After talking about the inner door, on the opposite side, there is naturally an outer door. Cihang Jingzhai Inner Gate, either the high-ranking concubines of the previous generation, or the real cultivators, they definitely need someone to take care of and protect, so naturally derived the outer door. The outer disciples, who practice literature and martial arts, have the unconditional support of the royal family's financial and material resources behind them, and the education that the outer disciples have received since childhood is definitely not worse than that of the children of the outside family. Moreover, they do not have the arrogance of the children of the family, they know how to work hard, and they know how to be grateful, and the choice of talents is not limited (not only civilians, some families, the door is very prosperous, as long as they are favored by Cihang Jingzhai, they are also willing to send individual children to Cihang Jingzhai for training), so that every generation of Cihang Jingzhai has very good disciples, and occasionally when the court is short of people, Cihang Jingzhai can also recommend talents to the court, of course, most of the time, Cihang Jingzhai talents are in seclusion all their lives.
In addition, compared with the cultivation of texts, Cihang Jingzhai Outer Gate attaches more importance to the practice of martial arts, especially female disciples, who have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the inner door, and are often focused on training, plus the exercises practiced by the original royal family selection, is an absolute upper class martial arts, under the cultivation since childhood, usually at a young age, it is much stronger than the peers outside. And inside the outer gate of Cihang Jingzhai, in terms of martial arts, the whole is also a situation where women are strong and men are weak.
Qin Chuan is such a fairly standard outer disciple. Compared to his talent, he is obviously better at martial arts. Of course, just like Yuan Kui said, even if he is relatively good at it, compared with a real genius, Qin Chuan only has mid-to-upper assets at most.
In short, the vast majority of the talents in Cihang Jingzhai, and even all the young people, all come from the outer door. Sun Quan didn't know the details, and was obviously fooled by Qin Chuan's answer, so that it was only a long time later that Sun Quan discovered what he should have known in the early morning.
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Back to the point,
Because Cihang Jingzhai's practice is one of the four great strange books today, Sun Quan proposed in front of Qin Chuan that he wanted to read the four strange books, but he was naturally misunderstood by Qin Chuan, thinking that Sun Quan had already seen through his origin. Nonsense, if this is not the case, how can Sun Quan be sure that he can get the Four Great Wonder Books? Considering Sun Quan's interest in his exercises before entering the palace this morning, Qin Chuan naturally would only think of this possibility!
Sun Quan would never have imagined that he would make such a big oolong by mistake.
Sun Quan took it for granted that "The Secret of Eternal Life" was better to get his hands on than the other three strange books, so this statement was not contrary to his purpose, but Qin Chuan thought that the so-called four strange books were just a cover for Sun Quan, and what Sun Quan wanted to see was his Cihang Jingzhai exercises! As a result, Qin Chuan naturally couldn't think of the other three books. Looking for "The Secret of Longevity" to trick up? Muddle? Qin Chuan would not play this kind of cautious trick.
The two of them are not on the same channel at allγγγγγγ
"I already said this morning that I can't be the master of martial arts. However, if you really want to take a look, I can write a letter for you, and ask the master to decide. Qin Chuan said.
As soon as he heard Qin Chuan's words, Sun Quan hurriedly responded,
"Since Brother Qin can't be the master of martial arts, then why bother? Aren't there four strange books in total! β
Sun Quan is hinting that you can go to "The Secret of Eternal Life", he doesn't mind!
Qin Chuan frowned,
"The Four Great Strange Books, in addition to my Cihang Jingzhai's "Daozu True Scripture", do you want to read "Dunjia Heavenly Book"? But the Shield Armor Heavenly Book is in Zuo Ci's hands, in comparison, I think it is a little more likely that I will return to the master by letter. (In this era, Cihang Jingzhai was not the later Cihang Jingzhai, and the Demon Gate Heavenly Demon Strategy was not integrated, so the four strange books were different.) According to my above setting for Cihang Jingzhai, they naturally use the orthodox Taoist mind)
Sun Quan was speechless for a while, and he couldn't care that these four strange books seemed to be different from his impression, so he couldn't help but say,
"Aren't there two more!"
Qin Chuan was even more surprised, and couldn't help but say,
"The legendary God of War Catalogue, no one knows where it is, you don't think I can find it, do you? As for the "Recipe for Longevity", no one has ever practiced it, and many people even speculate that it is not martial arts at all. You are bent on martial arts, and it is useless to pursue these ethereal things. β
"Oops!"
Sun Quan was so anxious that he was about to jump up, you said this Brother Qin, how can he be so real! I can't practice, that's my problem, you just get things as agreed!
Seeing Sun Quan's anxious appearance, Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly narrowed,
"Could it be that your purpose is actually the recipe for longevity?!"
