Chapter 44: The Great Grandmaster

Chen Qiuming and the three of them glanced at each other, and came out of the window, until they were about to leave the Qu Mansion, and the maid's successive miserable screams rang out......

The horses and luggage of the three had been placed outside the city as early as last night, and they easily went out of the city, found the horses and luggage, and rode north overnight.

In just three days, a few people arrived in Lingnan, not so quickly to escape for their lives, with the ability of three people, except for the great master, who can stop it? The three of them want to save face, after all, it is an assassination, or three to one, it is not a glorious thing, it is better not to spread it out.

Let's let Qu Chengyu die in vain!

When they arrived in Lingnan, the mood of several people also became much lighter and happier, unlike the previous time when they were chased as a lost dog, this time not only did they complete the goal, but there were no casualties, which made Long Si and Song Wujian more and more admired Chen Qiuming's strategy.

One evening, the three of them camped by a stream, and several of them were eating barbecue and drinking wine, while talking about world affairs. Chen Qiuming heard from the conversation between Long Si and Song Wujian that neither of them had the ambition to dominate the world, nor did they care about who could dominate the world, they were more concerned about how to become the great grandmaster and the continuation of the glory of the family gate.

Yes, with the transcendent strength and status of the Song family and the Long family, no matter who is the emperor, they must be offered as gods and Buddhas. Chen Qiuming even thought that this was probably the reason why the Song Dynasty of the Zhao family would destroy the military in the future, in addition to maintaining the stability of the rule, the most important thing was that no emperor wanted to have the Emperor Taishang on his head at every turn.

For the Song family and the Long family, the emperor is used to it, and there are more and more people who offend, once there is no great grandmaster to guard it for one to two generations, I am afraid that it will suffer a catastrophe.

Although Long Si and Song Wujian are both rebellious at an age, and they are very unhappy to see their great grandmaster father, for them who have been instilled with the idea of gate valves since childhood, they do not have the kind of ambition that has the world in mind.

A century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family are the mainstream ideas of the family in this era.

Long Si proposed to Chen Qiuming: "Qiuming, I will go north to Sichuan by water, and after visiting the Three Gorges, I will enter Tubo and then return to the Western Regions." If there is chaos today, I see that you are not a person who likes to participate in the world's major events, how about traveling the world with me, by the way, you can also go back to Sichuan to meet your sweetheart little girl who thinks about it day and night. ”

If Long Si didn't add the last sentence, maybe Chen Qiuming would go with him, after all, he had nothing to do, it would be good to go to the Western Regions to see it, and the prairie and the desert had not even seen it in his previous life.

But as soon as Long Si mentioned Luo Xiaoxiao, Chen Qiuming refused without hesitation, for Chen Qiuming, who was a little hypocritical, Luo Xiaoxiao was not the existence he wanted to face now.

Long Si asked Song Wujian again if he would go to the Western Regions, but Song Wujian also refused, saying that he wanted to go back to Song's house to retreat and practice. So Chen Qiuming said: "After today, you and my brothers are from all over the world, and if you want to get together, you don't know if you want to get together in the Year of the Monkey. ”

After the three of them clinked glasses, Long Si proposed: "This time I went south to the Central Plains and met two brothers who were in love, which is really the luck of Long Si's life." Why don't I wait for a place and a time limit for us to meet, three or five years, and then get together to learn martial arts, drink and have fun? ”

Song Wujian and Chen Qiuming readily agreed, Chen Qiuming smiled and said: "It's not easy for you to travel thousands of miles to the Central Plains, it's better to take five years, and the next time we get together will be in Qiuzi City in the Western Regions on the seventh day of July five years later, and I and Wujian will go to you, how about it?" ”

Long Si laughed and said loudly: "Then it's decided, five years later, I will wait for the two brothers in Qiuzi City!" ”

That night, several people were drunk, and early the next morning, Song Que rode home to the east alone, and Long Si rode west to the plateau alone.

Chen Qiuming actually didn't have anything to do next, and he didn't have anywhere to go, so the reason why he decided to go to Luoyang was for the sake of the Ming Zun Sect. He faintly felt that Zhu Wen and the Great Ming Zun Sect were absolutely inseparable, and it was even very likely that it was the Great Zun, and the reason why the remnants of the Great Ming Zun Sect such as the Good Mother were able to avoid the pursuit of the entire martial arts and suddenly disappeared was probably because they were protected by Zhu Wen.

And Luoyang, as Zhu Wen's base camp, is very likely to find some clues, so he has nothing to do except practice martial arts, so it is better to go to Luoyang to explore.

Of course, this matter is not in a hurry, Chen Qiuming is like before, all the way to the mountains and rivers.

Martial arts to the point of Chen Qiuming's gang, relying on diligent study and hard work to make slow progress, in addition to the accumulation of daily skills, mainly rely on the understanding of "potential" and "meaning".

Thanks to Song Yidao's guidance, Chen Qiuming is no longer aimlessly groping alone, at least he has a direction for reference. Whether it is the "potential" or "meaning" realm, to put it bluntly, it is the grasp and application of the natural operation laws of heaven and earth.

Where does martial arts come from? It is the imitation and summary of everything in nature by man, what is martial arts? In fact, it is the trend of nature and the meaning of heaven and earth.

The joy between the mountains and rivers is endless, and its "meaning" is also endless, it depends on whether you can understand it.

Stop and go all the way, and when Chen Qiuming arrived in Luoyang, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival of the fourth year of God's blessing, and Chen Qiuming spent five months on the way.

In April this year, Zhu Wen usurped the throne successfully, established the Great Liang, first set the capital Bianzhou, and now moved back to Luoyang, changing the year name to Kaiping, so this year is 907 AD, and it is the first year of Kaiping.

However, at present, this era name is only used in the territory of Daliang, and the rest of the territories of many powerful feudal towns such as Li Keyong, King of Jin, Wang Jian, King of Shu, etc., still use the era name of the fourth year of Tianyou.

It can be seen that Zhu Wen's usurpation of the throne is not what everyone expected!

Chen Qiuming even heard on the road that at the beginning of Zhu Wen's usurpation, Li Keyong, Li Maozhen, Wang Jian and others also planned to unite all the princes in the world to crusade against Zhu Wen.

It's a pity that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and in the end, it can't be done, only Li Keyong has a long-standing grudge with Zhu Wen, which led to more than one border battle between the two sides.

The reason for this is that Zhu Wen is powerful, and the major princes and emperors are used to it, and they lack enterprising spirit, such as Wang Jian, the king of Shu, and Ma Ying, the king of Chu. After Li Maozhen, the king of Qi, was taught a lesson by Zhu Wen, he became a turtle with a shrunken head, and the rest of the princes were bought by Zhu Wen, intimidated and intimidated, and in the end, except for Li Keyong, no one dared to send troops.

Of course, in addition to Li Keyong and Zhu Wen, the princes of the world are also constantly disputed, refugees and bandits are everywhere, and this year can already be called a real chaos in the world.

However, Luoyang City is still as prosperous as ever, singing and dancing, Chen Qiuming walks in the endless streets of Luoyang City, as if he is in a different world, as if the creatures on the road and Luoyang City do not belong to the same world at all.

As a person of later generations, Chen Qiuming was a little difficult to accept what he saw, and gradually had some ideas in his heart to do something for the common people in the world.

As long as the world is unified and there is no war, the common people will naturally be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

He doesn't want to dominate the world, but he can consider finding someone to assist him. But after thinking about it, in this way, what is the difference between himself and Duanmu Xixi and Luo Xiaoxiao? I once sternly rejected these two women, did I go around and around, but I didn't want to participate in the world's disputes shamelessly?

Thinking of this, Chen Qiuming had a headache, and he simply didn't want to come, so he found an inn and settled down first.

At the same time that Chen Qiuming had just stepped into Luoyang City, his master Xue Yang, who had not been seen for a long time, stepped into the long-lost Chengdu Mansion on the same day.

Since the battle with Xiao Dilu, Xue Yang has been silently on the rivers and lakes for another year. Fighting with Xiao Dilu, Xue Yang was weak after all, he was injured and retreated, and after barely escaping Xiao Dilu's pursuit, he simply found a deep mountain and old forest to retreat and heal.

To his surprise, in one year, not only did he recover from his injuries, but he also realized the artistic conception of yin and yang, and truly entered the ranks of great grandmasters.

After his promotion, he was filled with emotion. Unexpectedly, he had been pursuing the realm of the Great Grandmaster all his life, and when he was about to give up when he was not confused, he succeeded.

What made him laugh and cry even more was that the opportunity for promotion came largely from his apprentice Chen Qiuming. Without Chen Qiuming's Taiji Diagram, he would not be able to comprehend the third layer of the mystery of the "Immortal Seal Method", and it would be impossible for him to dare to go to Xiao Dilu's trouble, let alone comprehend the artistic conception of yin and yang.

What's more, the root of the comprehension of the artistic conception of yin and yang lies in the Taiji diagram, after all, the Taiji diagram can also be called the yin and yang Taiji diagram, but after the battle with Xiao Dilu, the comprehension is more profound.

After only teaching Chen Qiuming for a year, he forced him to wander the rivers and lakes alone, although it was not evil, but it was somewhat cruel. Therefore, Xue Yang, who felt that he owed something to his apprentice, did not immediately go to Xiao Dilu for revenge after being promoted, but wanted to find his apprentice first and teach him his understanding of artistic conception.

Chengdu Mansion is of course the most likely place for Chen Qiuming, but I didn't expect that the two were only separated for more than a year, and along the way, they actually heard a lot of legends about Chen Qiuming, and some people even called Chen Qiuming a new generation of evil kings in the Demon Gate after Shi Zhixuan!

Xue Yang was relieved, and he couldn't cry or laugh, even he, the great grandmaster, didn't get mixed up with the title of evil king, but he didn't expect Chen Qiuming, a stinky boy, to get mixed up at a young age.

Of course, Xue Yang didn't find Chen Qiuming in Chengdu Mansion, but he found Jia Gui, Li Chun, Luo Xiaoxiao and others to inquire about Chen Qiuming's news, when he learned from Luo Xiaoxiao's mouth that Chen Qiuming went to Lingnan, Xue Yang's eyes rolled, and he instantly felt that it was a good idea to go to Lingnan to find Song Yidao to fight first.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Luo Xiaoxiao held a banquet to entertain Xue Yang, Jia Gui, Li Chun and others, as well as other people in the Holy Gate in Chengdu Mansion.
