Chapter 64: Controversy
Chen Qiuming hurriedly said to Li Cunmiao: "Don't panic, this person is my master." So he hurried out, leaving a group of people messy in the wind.
The two came to a stream outside the city, Xue Yang first briefly talked about the situation after his separation, and then asked, "You weren't even a grandmaster when I left, how can you have such strength now?" ”
Xue Yang was really a little curious about his apprentice's experience for more than a year, and couldn't wait to ask.
Chen Qiuming talked about a series of things such as going all the way north, encountering wolf thieves, breaking through the grandmaster, finding Zhang Juhan to learn swords, etc., until he talked about yesterday's gambling contract with Xiao Dilu.
Xue Yang didn't expect that the apprentice would have so many wonderful opportunities in just over a year, and he was still quite relieved and proud in his heart, and the apprentice's various behaviors lived up to his teachings.
After speaking, Chen Qiuming still licked his face and asked, "Master, the apprentice didn't smear your face, did he?" ”
Xue Yang snorted coldly and said: "Don't say anything else, just say that you are assisting Li Cunxuan, even if you are too lazy to be the emperor, you don't assist with so many Han people in the Central Plains, why do you want to assist a Shatuo person?" ”
Chen Qiuming didn't expect that even such an enlightened person as the master would be prejudiced against the Shatuo people, and retorted: "What's wrong with the Shatuo people? Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is still a Xianbei person, didn't he also create a foundation for hundreds of years and nearly doubled his territory? What's more, the Li family is now surnamed Li, speaks Chinese, and wears Hanfu, what is the difference between them and us Han people? ”
Xue Yang was so angry that his beard turned up, and he scolded: "Criminal! Datang is Datang, can this be the same? From the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Xianbei people have been sinicized for two hundred years, Li Yuan is the leader among the Guanlong nobles, and Li Keyong's family has been counted from his father Zhu Xie Chixin was given the surname Li, only more than 30 years, and most of the Shatuo people still live in the form of tribes, living by grazing and hunting. ”
"What do they know about the Four Books and the Five Classics? What is the way of Confucius and Mencius? Know how to govern a country? How can you rely on a group of people who have not yet been fully civilized to govern hundreds of millions of Han people and manage a territory of thousands of miles? ”
Hehe, don't you know that there are still Mongols and Jurchens who have governed the Central Plains in later generations!
Chen Qiuming took out the set of theories that he said to Wujian that day, and then concluded: "Master, the Confucian system of governing the country seems to be good, but it is too conservative and pedantic, blindly abiding by the same, and does not understand development and progress. Why has he now become a defender of Confucianism? ”
"Only on blank rice paper can it be easy to paint, only people like Li Keyong and Li Cunxuan, who both admire our Han culture and have strong military strength, are the best partners of my Holy Gate, and will fully accept the theory of my Holy Gate."
"In addition, don't look at your breakthrough Grandmaster, and there are excellent junior talents like me, but the Holy Gate is on the verge of collapse, the most fundamental reason is that in addition to working independently, there is no set of theories that are conducive to dissemination and convincing, and it cannot gather people's hearts."
"I once said to Li Cunmiao that the core idea of my holy gate is 'learning from things, the unity of knowledge and action', and the lofty ideal is 'establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations'! This is a superficial idea, but I want to turn it into a new theory for my Holy Door. ”
Xue Yang was stunned again, the great grandmaster's mind seemed to be a little insufficient, Xue Yang was well-versed in the past and the present, and he was rich in learning, but he had never heard of Chen Qiuming's rhetoric, and he had to admit that what Chen Qiuming said had a certain truth.
He is not the kind of old Confucian who eats the ancients, especially the final core ideas and theories, which give people a shocking and thought-provoking charm, the more you ponder, the more aftertaste!
Chen Qiuming looked at the master with longing eyes, Xue Yang pondered for a long time, but looked at Chen Qiuming with an incomparably complicated look, and said secretly, what kind of demon did Lao Tzu accept, and for the Holy Gate, is it a blessing or a curse?
Chen Qiuming waited for a long time, but what he was waiting for was a sentence: "Attack me with all your might, let me see for the teacher, I haven't seen you for a year, and you are the same level in the end." ”
Chen Qiuming was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the master wanted to instruct him in martial arts, and he didn't bring the "Leyi" sword, so he attacked Xue Yang with his bare hands.
Hearing anything a thousand times is not as profound as experiencing it yourself, as soon as Chen Qiuming made a move, Xue Yang was moved, this kid's martial arts have really reached the level of a top grandmaster, compared to before he was promoted to a great grandmaster, it is not much better.
At the beginning, Chen Qiuming just used ordinary tricks, and after a while, he began to show his tricks with all his might, "ten years of life and death" corresponds to the "potential" of life and death, "Yin and Yang are born together" corresponds to the "potential" of yin and yang, and "Long wind and waves will be sometimes" correspond to the "potential" of the river, these three moves have both the principle of immortality and seven illusions, and their own understanding, which is the display of Chen Qiuming's martial arts.
Xue Yang was moved again, because of these three tricks, even he felt threatened, of course, these were not enough to defeat the great grandmaster, but to be able to do this step was enough to be proud of all the grandmasters in the world.
After the three moves, Xue Yang praised him for the first time after meeting tonight: "It's not bad, it proves that you haven't wasted your time during the period of time when the master is not there, the following is for the teacher to show you the yin and yang 'artistic conception', and then explain it to you in detail, and the rest is up to you to comprehend." ”
Xue Yang didn't blush when he said this, if he hadn't broken through to the Great Grandmaster by luck, the apprentice's martial arts at this time could already be compared to him, but he only gave a good evaluation.
Of course, Xue Yang is arrogant, and it is commendable to be able to boast about it.
After Xue Yang finished speaking, he slowly slapped his palm towards Chen Qiuming, and the qi of the surrounding heaven and earth was instantly emptied by Xue Yang, forming a huge vortex, crushing towards Chen Qiuming like a black hole.
Chen Qiuming's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, this vortex, in fact, isn't it Taijitu?
Chen Qiuming's comprehension of the three "potential" realms, in fact, the deepest understanding is the "potential" of yin and yang, after all, his main learning, are inseparable from a Taiji diagram, at this time inspired by the master, as if found a guiding light.
Xue Yang carefully instilled all the scenes when he broke through and his understanding of the "meaning" of yin and yang to Chen Qiuming, which made Chen Qiuming eager to retreat immediately to see if he could gain something.
Xue Yang said: "Okay, the main purpose of looking for you for the master has been completed, and I am going to leave to find trouble with Xiao Dilu's horseman." ”
Chen Qiuming was stunned after hearing this, grabbed Xue Yang's arm and hurriedly said, "Master, why are you in such a hurry?" You haven't told me whether you want to assist Li Cunmiao, and you don't agree with me tampering with the theory of the Holy Gate. Besides, Xiao Dilu is likely to come to the door, why don't you wait for the rabbit again? ”
Xue Yang replied angrily: "Luo Xiaoxiao, please ask the old man to persuade you to dominate the world, but you have to assist Li Cunqing, you can do it yourself, Lao Tzu doesn't care." Wait for me to think about the Holy Gate Theory again, and then come back to look for you after I kill Xiao Dilu, as for Xiao Dilu, he definitely went back to Khitan with the treasure of Yelu Zong. ”
Chen Qiuming still refused to let go, and said: "Master, don't worry, that day I fought with Xiao Dilu, but my attack power suddenly doubled halfway, some special means must have been used, master, you have to be careful." ”
Xue Yang must have understood, and explained: "What kind of special means, it's just the use of True Yuan, and when you are promoted to Great Grandmaster, you will know what True Yuan is all about." ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to leave again, but Chen Qiuming still held on tightly, and continued to ramble: "Master, I also promised Li Cunqiao that you would accept him as an apprentice, and you must come back after killing Xiao Di Lu Ke." ”
Xue Yang was furious when he heard this, and said with his sleeves brushed: "Who does Lao Tzu want to accept as an apprentice, and it will be your turn to be the master?" Besides, my Huajian faction has been passed down through the ages, are you letting Lao Tzu break the rules of the ancestors? ”
Chen Qiuming quibbled: "Master, aren't the rules just meant to be broken?" Blindly sticking to the rules will only fall behind, besides, Shi Zhixuan didn't accept two apprentices back then, and I also worshipped two masters as teachers. ”
Xue Yang was angry after hearing this, and he was too lazy to fight with Chen Qiuming again, Chen Qiuming shouted at Xue Yang's back: "Master, Li Cunmiao has my assistance, he will definitely be the emperor in the future, you accept him as an apprentice, this is the opportunity for the Holy Gate to develop and grow." ”
After Xue Yang heard this, he almost couldn't help but turn around and beat Chen Qiuming up, this criminal, is this going to be angry with Lao Tzu?
Chen Qiuming returned to the mansion with an unhappy face, and Li Cunmiao hurriedly asked, "Qiuming, where is your master Xue's senior?" ”
Chen Qiuming replied: "Let's go, go and fight with Xiao Dilu." ”
Li Cunqiao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Why don't you stop it?" ”
Chen Qiuming comforted: "Don't worry, the master has been promoted to the Great Grandmaster, and his strength is only stronger than Xiao Dilu. ”
Li Cunmiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands again and again and said to himself: "It's okay now, it's okay now." ”
Chen Qiuming said angrily: "Do you think my master can really kill Xiao Dilu?" It is very difficult for a great grandmaster to die, and back then, Huang Chao was killed by the joint efforts of Song Yidao, Long Si, Xiao Dilu and Sun Miaohan. ”
Li Cunxuan said: "Do I expect to kill Xiao Dilu all at once, but Senior Xue is promoted to Great Grandmaster, which means that behind us, we also have the support of the Great Grandmaster's combat power, and Xiao Dilu will have to weigh it next time he dares to come." ”
When he finished, he asked, "Didn't you say last time that you would persuade your master to take me as an apprentice?" Did you say yes, did your master agree? ”
Chen Qiuming's old face turned red, and he was embarrassed to say that the master did not agree, but said vaguely: "The master will come next time, and I will tell him next time." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Cunmiao to react, he said: "Master passed on my experience of being promoted to Great Grandmaster, I will continue to retreat for a period of time, there is nothing serious, don't disturb me." ”
