Most of the Confucian students who have studied hard have the habit of waking up early, and even if they occasionally have times when they are lazy and sleepy, they can be accustomed to self-discipline and will pull themselves back to a state of tireless work, in order to seek physical and mental harmony.

I like it very much, and I am very comfortable with this state, and when life circumstances are not good, getting up early to read becomes the only way for me to meditate.

Especially after returning from the Divine General's Mansion, I felt more and more small, as small as an ant trampled on by people, insignificant.

People may not know enough, so they have the power to be ruthless.

Since the road of official career is destined to be difficult to pass, I simply forge ahead on the road of cultivation, not seeking to amaze all those who despise me, but to narrow the gap with Wang Xizi one day, and not to be ridiculed as unlucky!

So I told myself that I must be self-disciplined, I can't bear the hardships of studying and cultivating, and he will be beaten by reality one day.

I found that I am not the only one who has this regular habit, and Zhang Mazi is also one of them.

The dog is accustomed to the fun of chopping wood and carrying water, and even cooking, so there is not much work in the yard that we need to help take care of.

If there is, it can only be a rhubarb's kennel.

Zhang Mazi sat in the courtyard every morning and meditated, looking at his serious appearance of pranayama and condensation, he should be reviewing or comprehending the heavenly demon magic trick taught to him by the dog master.

Judging from my current observation of his true spirit fluctuations, Zhang Mazi's mastery of qi and things has improved a lot, and there must be a huge gap compared to my proficiency in moving things through the air at the beginning.

With this recognition of the strength gap, I also began to silently accumulate strength and catch up!

Controlling qi in things, controlling all things and even the air flow with your heart, should be extremely depleting to the true spirit.

I have observed Zhang Mazi a few times, and he breathes in the morning light, and he can be refreshed and refreshed at sunrise, and his complexion is as usual.

Therefore, I deduced that he must have encountered a lot of bottlenecks in the process of studying the powerful sword moves taught by the dog master, otherwise he would not have climbed over the wall every morning, blended into the crowd out of the city, and went out in the direction of the deficit camp outside the city to practice this dog master's original swordsmanship.

My trouble came on the second day after I left the Divine General's Mansion and returned to Taoliu Lane.

Trouble appeared inadvertently, reasonable, unexpected, and really caught people off guard!

The first thing that troubled me was a group of unknown secret guards, although they were all masked and dressed in black, and they were wrapped in impenetrable clothes, so that they could not see clearly, but this outfit had a bit of a meaning that there was no silver three hundred taels here.

These people are armed with Pu knives, and they belong to the same type of weapon configuration as the deficit battalion of the Shenjiang Mansion, but on the knife face of these people, there is a fine dragon pattern forged, and there is a special pattern similar to the palace emblem at the hilt.

What's more, this group of masked black-clothed people are wearing robes knitted with Shu brocade and black silk, and in addition to the special palace workmanship, ordinary people don't even have a chance to take a look.

There are a total of five secret guards who visited Taoliu Lane and tried to do it to me, according to the laws of the dynasty, only those who cultivate as immigrants have the qualification to hold the Pu Dao, so the cultivation of these people will definitely not be lower than the Wendao realm.

Such a master, I don't have the strength and methods to deal with it, and in the end, it was still the insightful dog master who defeated five people with a glass of water and resolved this big and small crisis.

This time, it was once again proved that the dog master was a terrifying existence that the whole alley could not afford to offend, and these five secret guards were also stupid and ridiculous, they didn't go if there was a way in heaven, and they didn't even want to think about it when there was no door to hell, so they broke in directly.

This group of dark guards, who have always been rampant, may never have dreamed that they would be turned into a sword by a glass of water, and the well-made Pu knife in their hands would be broken.

Taoliu Lane recruited secret guards in vain, and the dog master was puzzled, scratching his cheeks and asking me: "Have you offended the big people in the palace recently?" If you steal a few things from a palace maid, you have to be honest! ”

Rolling my eyes, I flatly denied this: "I am a poor scholar, I have no merit, no merit, I am afraid that the nobles in the palace are not uncommon to look at me, where will there be a chance to offend?" ”

Besides, above the imperial city, there are guards with high-level cultivation such as Liang Po, if I have the evil intention to approach the imperial city, I must not be shot into a hedgehog by Liang Po's hard bow.

This self-deprecation made the dog master speechless for a while: "What you said is a fact. ”

I felt a little ashamed that my own strength was not good, and I felt a little ashamed to work hard to stabilize the situation, so I assured the dog master: "From now on, I will definitely double my cultivation and never embarrass your old man." ”

The dog master was almost indifferent to my words: "No matter how beautiful it is, it can't catch up with the actual action......"

Compared to Zhang Mazi's hard work, I am almost as slow as a snail in my cultivation, and compared with Zhang Mazi, who has made obvious progress, I am completely a waste.

Before I opened my mouth to ask Master Gou how he could temper himself and improve his cultivation faster, he directly pointed out a clear path to me.

"There is a book of the Ancestral Hall Collection of the monks in the Qingfeng Mingyue Building, this book has a fantasy, known as Sumeru Jiezi Mountain, people enter it as if they are in another world, in which the danger is like a dream, very magical."

Surprised, I hurriedly asked, "Is there such a strange book in the world?" ”

"The magic of this book is also limited to realistic illusions, and its magic is not much worse than "The Beauty of the Mountains", compared to the beauty picture that will only make people lose their minds and decadence, I think this book is very interesting!"

Confucianism and Taoism monks are widely respected for a large reason, and most of them are preserved as annotated anthologies for the world's view.

Confucianism and Taoism retain a kind of magic of Naling endowment, which can make the Chinese characters of the book jump and make the scene in the painting come alive, and "The Beauty of the River and Mountain" is a typical example.

Qingfeng Mingyue Lou covers the world's strange books, its collection of books has 100,000, when it was moved from the old capital to the new capital of Luoyang, the sweat cow is full, but it is not a waste of fame!

When it came to the library, I couldn't help but worry, and said with concern: "You just made Zheng Taibai of the library lose face not long ago, which caused the reputation of the entire Guogong Mansion to plummet, and almost became the target of public criticism. ”

The dog master didn't want to reply: "It's feasible!" Absolutely! ”

I saw that the dog master's expression did not have the urge to fight again, and I thought to myself, where did he have the reason to believe?

"Although Zheng Taibai lost the competition, he got the proverb that I understand, in less than three years, among the strong people in the dynasty who can enter the realm of heaven and man, there will be a seat for Zheng Taibai!" As soon as I saw that the dog was full of confidence, I felt that his image suddenly became majestic and tall.

"Besides, didn't the Zheng family make an organization of the Fantasy Sword Book Alliance...... I heard that his subordinates and Keqing heard that the Zheng family was going to fall, and they had already dispersed, and you were close to Zheng Beiyou, who was not deeply involved in the world, at this time, to show what kind of mind and courage it is. ”

I've also heard a little about the Phantom Sword Book League, the last time I asked Zheng Beiyou for medicine, he had kindly invited me to join the alliance, but I cleverly refused, I proposed to join at this time, I don't know if he still has the ambition to continue to run the Book League.

The great-grandson of the Guogong Mansion, who is rarely disappointed in his life, what kind of state of mind will be at this time, I really dare not imagine.

"Don't worry, as long as the Zheng family has a saint sitting in Kyoto and serving the dynasty with all his heart, the Zheng family will not fall so easily."

I have to say that the dog master looks at the problem very thoroughly, and often a sentence can always poke at the essence of things.

"I also think that with such a deep foundation of the Zheng family, it is impossible to be easily defeated by gossip and verbal criticism...... From Zheng Guogong's counterattack to the group of tigers and wolves in the court, you can see the entire concentration and forbearance ability of the Guogong Mansion. ”

"As long as Fu Qi, the king of the Divine General's Mansion, does not fall, Zheng Taibai will not dare to take it lightly."

Saint, there are only five people in the entire dynasty, you can imagine what kind of terrifying influence such a strong man has!

Master Gou's next words surprised me even more: "I've been thinking about it when I returned to the courtyard, maybe Zheng Taibai didn't use all his strength when he fought against me. ”

I asked blankly, "Why?" ”

The dog master groaned slightly: "Because two strange figures appeared in the sky over Luoyang that day!" ”

As for the two strange figures, I think they should be Taoist people wearing Taoist robes and holding dust whisks, and a middle-aged man with a soft face.

"What is the purpose of Zheng Taibai doing this?"

When I came to Luoyang, I encountered all the unbelievable things, and all I saw were strange people.

Many times, I even feel that everyone on the street is full of stories and hidden deeply.

"God knows!" The dog master is obviously not interested in this matter: "Once the affairs of the rivers and lakes are mixed with politics, everything will change the taste, and there is no intrigue in the court, and there will be only fighting horns left, and insidious and treacherous deceit emerge in endlessly, which is very much in line with Lu Yao's appetite." ”

Lu Yao, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, is indeed so deep that it is difficult to speculate, and I agree with Master Dog's evaluation.

"If you want to gain a firm foothold in a place like Luoyang, you have to get a few more decks of hole cards, what kind of character Lu Yao'er is at present, I still can't see it...... Now that the young Jiao has just come out of the body, it is imperative to change his life against the sky, and the future creation of this guy should definitely not be underestimated! The dog patted me on the shoulder, and his tone was meaningful.

"You are kind-hearted, and I hope you will have a benevolent heart in the future, whether you are on the road or in the future."

"I will remember the dog's advice."

Although I didn't pat my chest to promise the dog's words, I didn't dare to turn a deaf ear, and I will always keep this advice in my heart.

The Confucianism and Taoism that I have studied hard for many years have always warned me to be good and beautiful.

If you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone!

"Don't feel like you're clinging, with the relationship between the Guogong Mansion, you won't be so easily excluded by all forces in Luoyang, don't look at the fierceness of the barking dogs, the ones who really bite people are those silent dogs!"

When it comes to dogs, I inadvertently think of rhubarb, which is a docile personality and never barks easily.

It was very strange for Master Dog to say these words to me, didn't he know what happened to me?

I nodded, with a teachable expression: "I wrote down your words." ”

I sometimes suspect that the dog master knows people's hearts, can pinch and calculate, and can perceive people's minds.

Now I think that the dog master is also like a mud bodhisattva, a master of the world who knows the world and cultivates profoundly.
