The dignified seventh prince of Zhenbei Wangfu, the former young genius sword cultivator, has only learned one sword in half a month, and this sword has not yet been learned, and he has not even grown by half a point.

The man who is now half of Zhang Linxuan's master requires the young man to gather the sword qi in the bamboo sword before swinging the sword, and after the qi is successfully hidden, he can swing the sword and break the stone.

Hiding qi in the sword, in fact, is also simple, but a bamboo sword is really difficult to withstand all the sword qi in the juvenile qi mansion, after hiding the qi, before the sword is waved, the bamboo sword will be broken instantly, so that Zhang Linxuan has not swung a sword in half a month.

Originally, a few days ago, the swordsman could still carry a pot of wine and a plate of saltwater peanuts, sitting under the eaves and watching the teenager practice swords, and occasionally "pointing" the teenager a little.

Isn't it, no one can't practice a sword and still can't swing a sword, right?

You can't do it, can't you learn this?

When you can swing the sword, I may be in the ground, where will you learn this swordsmanship?

Forget it, I'll show you the way. Kendo I don't think it may be suitable for you, you go and learn assassination, after all, your talent for sneak attacks is very good.

Early this morning, Zhang Linxuan Xu was really annoyed by the swordsman, so he simply stopped practicing swords when he got up in the morning, and after breakfast, he directly locked himself in the house and kept copying books.

Zhang Linxuan had a great temper when he was young, and once he was angry, few people dared to approach him. In order to prevent the boy from taking fire on others, Mr. Han asked the boy to copy books when he was angry, and over time he developed this habit whenever he was angry with others. Except for the former eldest son Zhang Lincheng, few people would choose to disturb the young man when Zhang Linxuan was angry, because there was a killing intent in those bloodshot eyes that anyone could see, and no one was sure what the angry young man would do.

For example, on the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Daxu that year, the old prince took his eldest son to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, and Zhang Linxuan, who was only ten years old, had to follow him into Beijing, saying that he wanted to see the world and see how those dignitaries in Kyoto used their nostrils to see people. Zhang Linxuan, who was in Beijing for the first time, did not go on a pilgrimage to the palace with his father and brother, but sneaked out and wandered along Chang'an Avenue in Kyoto City. And after hanging out this time, he won the young man a saying that he was "more gentlemanly than the children of Kyoto City", because Zhang Linxuan almost beat Wu Anhou's own son, who is now the nephew of Emperor Daxu, to death in the street.

According to the law of Daxu, all Daxu courtiers are not allowed to be kings, even if they are royal relatives, they are also emperor's courtiers, so they cannot be called kings. Since the founding of the country, Daxu has only two princes, and they are both in the dynasty.

Xiao Ji, Marquis of Wu'an, is the brother born to His Majesty's mother, and in the process of Daxu's unification of the thirteen states in the north, his military achievements are second only to Xiao Zuo, the king of Nan'an, and Zhang Yunzhi, the king of Zhenbei, but this second only to this does not mean that his military achievements are close to these two. Just like the college exams, the first two scores are extremely high, and some people are ranked third, but their scores are not much worse.

However, Wu'an Hou Xiao Ji is very popular in Daxu officialdom, and he is very measured. In comparison, it is much better than the situation of Xiao Zuo, the king of Nan'an, who was alienated by the courtiers of the clan. As for the king of Zhenbei, there is no comparison. Although the Zhang clan in the north is not treated by civilian officials, the military generals in the Daxu officialdom are without exception, and no one does not admire the five-body surrender to the ground, and the extremely tragic battle in front of the city has always been longed for. Just ask the man in the world, the one who doesn't want to put on armor and fight with the enemy, hang the enemy's head on horseback, and ride a horse into the enemy's formation, what an eternal heroism, how can it not be desirable.

Xiao Ji's son, Xiao Chengen, has always done whatever he wants in Kyoto City, relying on his status as a child of the clan, but fortunately, he has not done anything too out of the ordinary. His Majesty the Emperor remembers brotherhood, and the love between uncle and nephew also turns a blind eye, and occasionally reprimands him for trivial matters. But Xiao Chengen did not restrain himself, but became more and more unscrupulous. On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, a craftsman's hands were directly abolished for a birthday gift, just because what he made did not conform to his wishes, and forcibly accepted his daughter as a housekeeper. even asked the family to drag the woman along the street in full view of everyone.

When passing by a jewelry shop, it happened that Zhang Linxuan was here to choose jewelry for Qiu Huang and Li Zi, the style of Kyoto City is very different from the north, and he plans to choose a few pieces to let them see later, so as not to make them complain that their sons are stingy, and they will not bring them one or two gifts when they enter Beijing.

After Zhang Linxuan paid the money and went out, he saw a little girl huddled in the corner of the alley, her clothes were thin and she was trembling. Zhang Linxuan took off his robe, squatted down to drape the little girl, and looked at the little girl's unhappy look, Zhang Linxuan took out the jewelry he had just bought, a small Zhu hairpin, and gave it to the little girl as a gift, intending to make her happy. The little girl with a pale face, looking at this kind-hearted little master, couldn't help but smile a little more, but the gift still couldn't be accepted, just when the little girl was about to open her mouth to return the things to the young man, Xiao Chengen, who was passing by, directly snatched it over, and smiled with the people around her: "This jewelry is good." ”

Zhang Linxuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Bring it." ”

Xiao Chengen looked disdainful, looked at Zhang Linxuan and the poor sour girl, and spit directly on the little girl, scolding: "Where is the wild boy and wild girl, hurry up, this Zhu Hai master wants it." ”

Xiao Chengen turned around and left directly, while his subordinates spit on the little girl one by one, and then continued to drag a woman along the street.

The little girl took Zhang Linxuan's hand and kept shaking her head, as if telling the young man not to provoke that person.

Zhang Linxuan directly shook off the little girl's hand, picked up a wooden stick not far from his side, and rushed over directly, shining on Xiao Chengen's head. Because Zhang Linxuan has practiced swords since he was a child, he needs to raise his sword for several hours every day, and in the long run, Zhang Linxuan's arm strength is much greater than that of his neighbors, and this time Xiao Chengen was beaten to the head and fell to the ground. The guards behind Xiao Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but for some reason, they fell to the ground one after another.

Zhang Linxuan grabbed Xiao Chengen's collar and hit him one after another, the former teenager was extremely heavy, and each stick basically hit Xiao Chengen's vital point, Xiao Chengen, who fell to the ground, wailed, and had no power to fight back at all.

If it weren't for an old monk who liked to pull the bias frame to stop him, Xiao Chengen might have been really beaten to death by the young man. After the old monk helped Xiao Chengen take a breath with a precious elixir, he wanted to reprimand the perpetrator verbally, but he didn't know when the old man standing silently behind Zhang Linxuan made him completely break this thought. Directly took Xiao Chengen and left.

As for the reason, there is only one reason, and that is that the realm gap between the two opposing sides on the cultivation path is too great.

The old man of the palace surnamed Chen just smiled and said to Zhang Linxuan: "Childe can go back." ”

Not long after this happened, the third prince and the fourth prince rushed to Nanshan City with monk talismans, and tens of thousands of armor soldiers in Nanshan City were killed, and the spears in their hands were all pointing south.

After hearing about this, Daxu Tianzi summoned Wu Anhou at all, but he asked someone to pass on a word, it is normal for children to fight and make trouble, and the elder brother should concentrate on celebrating the birthday of the queen mother.

If it doesn't work, what else can it do?

The whole birthday banquet, the king of Zhenbei came alone, the eldest prince of the Zhenbei palace did not know where he went, the old prince did not greet anyone politely, and he did not say a word during the banquet, the only thing he did was to look at each other and laugh with today, and drink separately.

Although silent, they know each other.

King Zhenbei seems to be using his actions to tell all the people present who know about this matter: it is only right for a father to support his son.

When the king of Zhenbei returned to the north with his eldest son and youngest son, the city of Kyoto left Zhang Linxuan's notoriety, a prince with a great temper and even more cunning than his son.

Zhang Linxuan, who was unhappy at the moment, sat at the table and kept copying books, so that he didn't even notice that Zhang Xinnan was leaning against the wall and staring at himself with his arms around his chest.

The swordsman asked knowingly, "Why don't you practice swords today?"

After Zhang Linxuan heard this, he suddenly stopped writing and turned his head to stare at the swordsman.

"At a young age, his temper is not small. Cultivation is a long process, and if you don't have perseverance, don't do it at all. In addition, there should be no opportunistic luck, and the path of cultivation must be taken step by step, and there is no shortcut. As for some of the things that are purely disgusting, you should not have extravagant expectations, and it is very difficult to correct them once you make a mistake on the path of cultivation. Your father asked me to teach you how to practice the sword, and you should also understand that I can correct some of your shortcomings. However, as the saying goes, the Fa is not lightly preached, and the Tao is not sold cheaply, if you don't learn sincerely, I will naturally not teach you sincerely, so it's better to stop than wasting time. The swordsman squinted and smiled.

Zhang Linxuan didn't sulk because of the repeated failures in sword practice, it was really that some of the swordsman's words were too sarcastic, and the young man listened to it in his heart, it was really a little uncomfortable, so he chose not to practice the sword and chose to copy the book.

The swordsman was a little dumbfounded, and muttered in a low voice: "A sword cultivator's inner ability to resist attacks is also very important, and besides, you are really stupid." ”

"What?"

"Nothing. The swordsman smiled sincerely, "Practice the sword well in the future, and you will always do it if you take your time." I wrote a stupid teenager book overnight yesterday...... No, no, the general record of the genius boy's sword practice, which records in detail some methods of sword practice. The day after tomorrow is the first day of the fifth month, and I made an appointment with a friend to meet in Zhenbei City, and I want to go out for a few days. ”

Genius boy Xi Jian General Record, this name is up to you. Zhang Linxuan said with a puzzled face: "What about the book?"

"Give that girl Qiuhuang, the words I write are different from what you Daxu are commonly used by, and it just so happens that the girl knows, so I'll ask her to help you translate it. ”

Zhang Linxuan let out a soft sigh. The young man suddenly remembered something, the swordsman said that he was going out on the first day of the fifth month, and he was in the back, so isn't today the last two days of April, almost looking forward to a big event.

Since the end of the battle in front of the city, there has been an extra rule in the Zhenbei Palace, at the end of each month, Zhang Linxuan's brothers, no matter who is at home, must go to the Guanyin Temple in the east of the city with the princess to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings.

The princess believes in Buddhism, and even believes in several sons, among which Zhang Linxuan especially believes in the reincarnation of Buddhism. On the last two days of the month, the princess would go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, begging the Bodhisattva to bless her family with safety. This is a monthly major event in the house, and the princess, who has always been kind, will never be angry with her children because of anything, but this matter is never negotiable. The young Zhang Linxuan was ignorant and always didn't want to go to the temple, and the only time the princess scolded him was because of this.

Zhang Linxuan roughly estimated the current hour, hurriedly put on his boots, sorted out his clothes, asked his half master, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he hurriedly went to wait outside the gate of the palace.

Zhang Xinnan looked at the freshness, since he knew him for half a month, he had never seen the panicked appearance of the teenager in trouble, so he wanted to be interesting and followed together. It's not a hurry to see a friend, anyway, it's a blink of an eye for thirty miles.

There is a Guanyin temple in the east of the city, the scale is not large, and there is no golden-bodied Buddha in the general temple, only two ordinary clay embryo Guanyin statues. There are not many monks in the temple, there are only eighteen people in total, three are responsible for cooking on the fire, three are responsible for chopping wood and carrying water, three are responsible for ringing the bell and chanting the Buddha, three are responsible for sweeping the floor, and three young novices who have just started are responsible for transcribing the scriptures, in addition to a crazy monk, who talks nonsense on weekdays, it is best to roast chicken and wine, and there is a black-clothed monk, who is good at talking about Buddhism with people on weekdays, and an old monk, who is considered to be the person in charge, there is no presiding officer in this temple, but the old monk is similar to this identity. Although the temple is not big, it is fortunate that it has all kinds of organs.

There is a couplet in front of the Guanyin Temple, Zhang Linxuan liked it very much when he first saw it, not like some deliberate pretentiousness of the mysterious words, on the contrary, the couplet in front of the Guanyin Temple is very real.

Enter the door to burn incense, and give some money for incense.

Worship the Buddha and leave, what will the monks do after leaving.

In Zhang Linxuan's view, whether it is a monk, a Taoist person, or a Confucian sage, they always possess a person, and they are always in the world, then they should be people first, and they should have people's needs, such as food and clothing, housing and transportation, etc., all need to be considered, so they are still a part of the world, and the worldly people who are the default in the mouth of the monks are actually the same kind of people.

In addition to the princess and the personal maid on weekdays, the only people who came here today to pay homage were Zhang Linxuan and the swordsman Zhang Xinnan. After the third prince got married, he should go out alone to open a house and start a family, the third prince Linxi originally planned to place his mansion in Zhenbei City, but the old prince did not agree in the end, and still placed the mansion in Haiyan City, which the princess had already chosen. Lao Wang also told Zhang Linxi that if there is nothing to do at the border within half a year, there is no need to go back, and the father can't let his son live separately from his daughter-in-law as soon as he gets married, and as for the border affairs, all the affairs will be handed over to his fourth son Zhang Linhong for the time being. The fifth elder Zhang Linmo returned to Kyoto with Daxu's family sending team and took the palace to thank the imperial court. The sixth Zhang Linyi went to Zhumang Academy and asked, some things are still handled in the way of scholars, and quarrels are easier than fights. Therefore, there is only one idler left in the palace, Zhang Linxuan, who can't practice swords.

After the ceremony, the princess went to the monks in the temple to ask for Buddhism, and the young man stood in the courtyard with half of his master doing nothing, looking at each other.

Zhang Xinnan Xu was really bored, so he told the young man something about the cultivation realm, Zhang Linxuan learned from his half master's mouth that there are more than ten realms of cultivation, and there is a vast world above the ten realms, but few people can go up, after all, it is difficult to do this kind of thing to the next level. In the end, Zhang Xinnan did not forget to sarcastically say that if the young man could go to the Nine Realms with a sword in the future, he would not have wasted his hard work in teaching.

Zhang Linxuan glanced at him, too lazy to take a stubble.

The two of them leaned on the pillar outside the temple gate one left and one right, their movements and expressions were the same, both arms were wrapped around their chests, and there was a slight puzzle in their eyes, and they all looked at the two clay embryo Guanyin statues in the main hall.

The mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect itself, how to cross people?

Half of the young man's master, half of the swordsman's apprentice, the two looked at each other and smiled, talking to themselves, although the words were different, but the truth was close.

The swordsman said that the sword is as good as he wants, and he should not be trapped in external objects.

The young man said that his heart is empty, why should he be crossed,
