Chapter 8: The Snake Demon Magical Power
"The soldiers do nothing, unite and obey military orders, the emperor does nothing, and the monarchs and ministers govern the country in harmony and cooperation. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
That night, Rong Xiyan took the banner written by Feng Chan to offer treasure to his father, and after Rong Yonghui glanced at it, he not only admired: "Write well, write boldly enough, this person must be a Taoist master." ”
Rong Xiyan was happy in his heart, but he said disapprovingly on the surface: "How do you know that he is a master of Taoism, maybe I wrote it."
Rong Yonghui glanced at her angrily and said, "This character has a swordsmanship rhyme, obviously proficient in swordsmanship, and your swordsmanship is a mess." This person can integrate swordsmanship and calligraphy, and his mood must be extremely high, and he has master attainments. ”
Rong Xiyan didn't follow, and her inverted eight-character eyebrows popped up: "Although my swordsmanship is not high, it will not be a mess." ”
Rong Yonghui ignored her, but looked at a young man beside him: "Xiyang, what do you think of this painting?"
Rong Xiyang is his son, the second in line, he is handsome and resolute, and he has the style of a soldier. In fact, their family is the son of a military family, and they are good at using soldiers to advocate the rule of force.
In history, there have been kings who admired soldiers, constantly expanded their territory, and once created extremely glorious kingdoms. It is said that more than 100 years ago, the Xia Kingdom once occupied 70% of the land in the world, which is ten times as much as it is now.
However, the extremes of things must be opposed, and the soldiers continue to expand but do not know how to govern the country, resulting in the collapse of the domestic economy. At the same time, it caused a fierce counterattack from other countries, internal and external troubles, and finally the soldiers failed. It was a brutal period of war, with decades of war deciding the population by 50%. Later generations learned a lesson and tried their best to control the power of the soldiers, intending to turn them into a sword.
The double-edged sword has a certain danger, but it can at least be controlled and can be held in the hand.
Rong Xiyang took the text panel and looked at it, and commented: "Although it is not a quatrain, it has unique insights and clear meanings, and even people like me who don't understand Taoism can understand it at a glance." Calligraphy is a school of its own, with a gentleman's demeanor, and it is indeed a masterpiece. ”
"Why didn't you settle the payment, who is the person who wrote?"
Rong Xiyan originally wanted to introduce Feng Chan to his father, but when he heard such a high evaluation from the two, he hesitated again. The eight Wuwei first convinced Guan Linglong, and now they convinced Rong Yonghui and his son, and regarded him as a Taoist master.
In case the fame of Zen spreads, some women will be impressed.
Rong Xiyan secretly said no, he couldn't continue to let Feng Chan be coquettish, otherwise there would be more than one Guan Linglong. The thought turned, Rong Xiyan suddenly grabbed the text and said, "You don't care who wrote it, I'm going back to sleep." ”
With that, Rong Xiyan trotted out of the living room.
Rong Yonghui and the others laughed dumbly, not understanding why she was hiding the author's name, what was the trick of it? How could he think that this painting was written by a young man who was not as weak as the crown.
After laughing, Rong Yonghui stood with his hands in his hands and fell into deep thought.
"Dad, what's the problem?" Rong Xiyang asked.
"I think of an incident ten years ago, when His Majesty had not yet established Taoism as the head of a hundred schools. Rong Yonghui's eyes looked into the distance, as if he had returned to that day, when hundreds of leaders gathered in the palace.
The emperor summoned the leaders of the hundred schools and asked them to convince themselves.
Whoever can convince the emperor can become the head of a hundred schools.
The leader of Legalism said: Lawlessness is lawlessness, and law is the foundation of governing the country. The leader of the military family said: Fighting for the world, military is the way to strengthen the country. The peasant leader said: The people take food as the sky, and agriculture is the foundation of the country.
There are also Yin and Yang schools, Confucianism, Moism, famous scholars, vertical and horizontal schools and other schools, with fierce verbal battles and fierce rhetoric. If it weren't for the fact that there were many guards in the palace, I am afraid that these leaders would have fought for the position of chief.
Everyone knows which one the emperor will set up as the leader, and which one will be prosperous.
Their fight lasted for three days and three nights, and everyone was reasonable, and almost overturned the roof of the palace. The Emperor kept his eyes closed, sat on the dragon chair and listened to their quarrels, waiting for a real leader to appear.
"At that time, I followed the teacher and represented the soldiers at the court meeting, and I saw the teacher fight for the first time. In the end, the Taoist leader Li Mingyue said eight words, and then the emperor nodded, and the Taoist family was the leader. Rong Yonghui said.
"What are those eight words?" Rong Xiyang asked.
"All living beings do nothing, the world is fine!"
――
Feng Chan stayed up late today, because the third uncle's wife came to make trouble, and the reason why she came to make trouble was because the third uncle was hit by ten boards. An ordinary person is beaten ten boards, and he doesn't want to get out of bed for a month.
I don't know what Feng Dongping told her wife, this girl even blamed Feng Chan for the mistake. Feng Chan really wanted to send Feng Dongping to the yamen again, and beat him again, to see if he dared to talk nonsense.
Finally, when the aunt finished scolding, she went back to sleep when she was tired of scolding, and Feng Zen had the opportunity to take a bath.
It was the middle of the night, every house was closed and the lights were out, and the town was silent.
"Auntie really doesn't know what to do, if it weren't for my mercy, Feng Dongping would not have been beaten by ten boards. Feng Chan felt a little resentful in his heart, after all, Feng Dongping disregarded his family affection and harmed him first.
After taking a bath, Feng Chan's family fell asleep, and he tiptoed back to his room.
Hiss...
As soon as he walked to the bedside, Feng Chan suddenly heard the neighing of an animal, and he heard it and looked: under the moonlight, on the windowsill, a snake shadow twisted and stuck out its tongue back and forth, as thick as an arm.
"What a demon!" Feng Chan turned around and pulled out the precision forging sword hanging on the wall, aimed at the snake shadow and stabbed a few sword stabs.
"Whoosh!"
With Feng Chan's swordsmanship, even the tiger and leopard can be stabbed with a sword, but he didn't stab the snake. The speed of the demon snake was extremely fast, and it suddenly scurried through the sharp sword flower and bit Feng Chan's wrist.
Feng Chan was in pain, and held the precision forging sword harder, and the sword was cut through the snake's body, wanting to split it in half. Unexpectedly, the snake demon was not afraid of the sharpness of the sword, and the whole body was wrapped around the sword, twisting his refined sword.
Let go!
Feng Chan threw the sword and took three steps back, his back touched the wall and there was no way out, he hurriedly cast Wendao: Mount Tai pressed the top!
The power of the Eight Dings suppressed the snake demon's divine soul, its speed was greatly reduced, and Feng Chan took down the bow and arrow on the wall again, wanting to shoot it. The snake demon was suppressed by Feng Zen Wendao, so he turned around and slipped out of the window in shock, and fled.
"Even the finely forged sword can be twisted, obviously a snake demon who has been practicing for many years. Feng Chan let go of the bow and arrow, and suddenly felt a dizziness in his head: "It's not good, I was bitten by it just now, and I may have been poisoned." ”
As soon as the thought turned, Feng Chan fainted before he even had time to call for help, and his poison came so violently.
The next morning, Feng Chan was woken up by a knock on the door.
In the past, he smelled the chicken and danced, but today he hasn't even gotten up at breakfast, so Feng's mother can only come to call him. Feng Chan opened his eyes and found himself lying on the ground with a bow and arrow in his hand.
He rubbed his temples and found that the wound from the snake bite last night had healed, leaving only a faint scar. Feng Chan vaguely remembered that it was a snake demon with a golden luster in the moonlight, like a golden-threaded snake. The golden thread snake is extremely venomous, almost incurable, why did Feng Chan wake up?
Strange, could it be that I read it wrong, it's not a golden snake?
"Zen, it's time to eat. Feng Mu shouted outside.
"Come right away, you eat first. Feng Chan hung up his bow and arrows, picked up the twist-like precision forging sword on the ground, and secretly said that it was a pity. This sword was his most valuable possession, and it cost more than thirty taels of silver.
Suddenly, a strange picture appeared in Feng Chan's mind, outside the room, a fiery red figure turned to leave. I can vaguely see that the figure is a little chubby, and his body shape is exactly the same as Feng Zen's mother.
What's going on, it's that after I was bitten by the snake demon, I have its ability to perceive.
The snake can sense the breath of life through his tongue, and Feng Chan knows a little about it, so when he senses the breath of life of his mother, he thinks about it. Feng Chan was stunned at first, then a little apprehensive in his heart, and finally turned into a surprise.
He once read an ancient miscellaneous book, which recorded that someone was injured by a youkai and accidentally inherited the magic powers of the youkai. Some can breathe fire and spit water, some can fly away, and some can even travel through time and space. However, the chance of success is very small, and nine out of ten people who are injured by monsters will be eroded by the demon qi and die.
Feng Chan thought it was just a nonsense story, but he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing one day.
"It seems that my muscles and bones are much tougher, and I have about four or five tripods of strength. Feng Chan twisted his arm, and his bones made a crisp sound, and he could twist and twist like a snake, as if he had practiced soft body skills.
Soft body skills are a difficult kung fu to practice, and you need to practice hard from an early age.
Feng Chan has never practiced this kind of kung fu, but his body is more flexible than that of a soft body master. He tried to twist his limbs and waist with the ease of juggling, and even used his arms to smash sticks. Flexibility does not mean that there is no strength and strength, on the contrary, once Feng Zen urges the muscles and bones, it is even stronger and stronger than before.
This is clearly the realm of refining the body, the realm of both rigidity and softness, but I am obviously only refining the body. Feng Chan knew in his heart that this was not the realm of body refining, but inherited the magical powers of the snake demon, and he couldn't use common sense.
"Perception, rigidity and softness. ”
"Although these two supernatural powers are not as magical as the legends, they are very practical and can greatly enhance my strength. The body is so flexible, how strange and easy it must be when using swordsmanship. Just thinking about it, Feng Chan will laugh.
But after seeing the sun shining in, Feng Chan hurriedly got dressed, and he still had to go to class.
After washing, Feng Chan deliberately used his perception outside before entering the living room, and sure enough, he could sense the breath of life of his parents through the barrier of the door wall. Judging by the faint red shadow form, they were sitting at the table eating.
"With this supernatural power, even in the dark night when I can't see my fingers, I can clearly perceive others. In this way, no one will want to ambush and attack me, and I can even counterattack me. "Feng Zen secretly said.
Imagine if in a densely populated place, others can't see Feng Zen, but Feng Zen can see the position of other people. He didn't have to wait at all, and he could ambush the other party's advance route in advance based on his perception. If someone ambushes Zen, he can also pretend not to know, go to the place where the other party is ambushed and suddenly make a move.
This is completely the survival of poisonous snakes, Feng Chan shook his head, I want to be a gentleman.
While contemplating, he walked to the living room and sat down.
"Chan'er, what happened to your aunt yesterday, saying that you caused the third uncle to be beaten by the board. Feng Mu asked.
"Third uncle, you should know better than me. Feng Chan said.
Hearing him say this, Feng Mu suddenly stopped talking.
Feng Dongping is diligent and down-to-earth on his face, but those who are familiar with him know that this is a person who can't be trusted. So Feng Chan didn't need to explain, just one sentence, and his parents understood.
