No matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives.

Not to mention foreign guns!

After listening to Master Ma's narration, Xu Xing couldn't help but think of this sentence.

My lord, times have changed!

……

Fang Yun, the governor of Qin Province, is not a good man.

In other words, most of the Qing court officials were not the wine bags and rice bags in film and television dramas. On the contrary, these people can fight out of the imperial examination, and all of them are human spirits.

It's just that under the coercion of the general trend of the times, it seems a little stupid.

Before he joined the Taste Scripture Academy, he had expected that Fang Yun would definitely be guarded by the foreign spear team. So even if there is a master like Master Ma, he is in a hurry to find a way to avoid this catastrophe ...... death.

"I'm afraid Master Ma also knows that Fang Yun has a foreign gun team under his hands......"

"It's just ......, it's a good opportunity, I just have to go."

Xu Xing suddenly had a little respect for Master Ma.

Knowing that you can't do it, you do it.

Xiaoyitang, who has been against the Qin Provincial Government for so many years, cannot not know the truth of the Governor Fang Yun's guards.

"Twenty-three brothers."

"Only fourteen have returned."

Master Ma sighed, "This time I didn't kill the dog Tartar, but I lost nine brothers, and I was the one who took the lead." It's also fortunate that you didn't go, otherwise your martial arts will be mediocre, and assassinating Fang Yun will only end up with your life. ”

"By the way, you're here today...... What's the matter? ”

"But the academy is going to be bound? Still short of money......"

Master Ma asked about Xu Xing's business.

As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver from a cloth bag on the kang and handed it to Xu Xing, "In the future, if you have less money to spend, you will go to Sihai Qianzhuang to withdraw it, the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang Wu is the incense master of Taoyuan Township, you report the name of Xiaoyitang, and withdraw the silver in it." But you can't be too big, every penny is earned by the brothers...... ...... hard-earned money, save some money. ”

The four pillars of the Elders' Association are the Shanshui Xiangtang.

(Four pillars, meaning four branches.) ）

Taoyuan incense fits a fragrance word.

Filial piety hall is combined into one hall.

The main hall is Qin Fengshan, also called the mountain hall.

Xu Xing nodded and accepted the silver handed by Master Ma.

This money is not taken indiscriminately.

After receiving the funding given to him by Xiaoyitang, then he is a member of Xiaoyitang. If he doesn't accept this funding, then he has two hearts and is suspected of betraying Xiaoyitang.

"Master Ma......"

"I'm here today, first, to see that the "Guang Bulletin" said that you failed to assassinate the Tartars, and I was worried about the safety of our brothers, so I came to take a look, and second, what about ......"

"It's just that I recently accidentally saw a book of martial arts secrets in the academy's bookstore. This secret book is hidden in the immortal scroll of "Taiping Guangji", and I see that it is quite wonderful, so I give it to Master Ma for you to take a look at......"

Xu Xingtian shamelessly made up a bizarre story about the origin of "Rock Heart".

The routine that was common in later generations was a rarity at this time in the late Qing Dynasty.

After speaking, he handed the excerpted Rock Heart Method to Master Ma.

After hearing this, Master Ma first frowned, and then relieved, "It may be that when the Weijing Academy established the mountain courtyard and purchased rare books, someone accidentally sold the ancestral things and let you pick up a leak." ”

"But this exercise ......"

He carefully looked at every word of the exercise.

"This exercise is quite subtle, although it is not as good as my meridian gong, but it can complement the meridian gong."

"This exercise ......"

With a hesitant expression, he closed the silk cloth on which the exercises were written.

"Rock Heart Method" is a martial arts technique, and practicing this skill can refine and refine the cultivation yuan.

And his "Meridian Gong" is not a martial arts exercise in the strict sense, but a Taoist internal strength.

Collect heaven and earth spiritual opportunities and cultivate at two o'clock in the meridian.

The former is to refine the essence in food, while the latter is to absorb the spiritual energy stored in heaven and earth.

"Master Ma, is there something wrong with this exercise?"

Xu Xing saw that Master Ma was silent for a long time, and asked deliberately.

"It's not."

Master Ma shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with this mental method." It's just too precious, I have seen it, but it is difficult to give you a corresponding return. ”

"Everyone is a brother."

"Master Ma, as you said, everyone is a brother......

"This exercise was only unintentionally obtained by me, and I was fortunate to have gained it, but I lost my life."

Xu Xing waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

Anyway, his Rock Heart Method is a free thing, and it is not his family heirloom, and there is no loss for him to have one more Master Ma to cultivate, and it will be beneficial and costly.

On the contrary, after Master Ma, a master, practiced the Rock Heart Method, he could also take the opportunity to ask for advice.

Something that benefits each other!

"That's it!"

"In that case, even if I have accepted your kindness."

Master Ma said in a deep voice.

He originally intended to take Xu as an apprentice.

It's just that today, Xu Xing's identity is different.

He is a reader.

Just now he was in the bedroom, and he also heard Xu Xing's conversation with the robe buddies outside the door, and knew that Xu Xing's grades in the Weijing Academy were good, and there was a great possibility of gaining fame.

Whether in the government or the opposition, or in the mountain hall, the status of scholars with meritorious names is not very low.

He was born in a reckless manner, and it is not suitable to accept Xu as an apprentice.

"If you can show off......"

"With your background, you may be able to get a chance."

Master Ma glanced at Xu Xing and said something unfathomable.

"Please also ask Master Ma to elaborate."

"Xu Xing's sense is inexhaustible......"

Seeing that Master Ma was about to stop talking about this word of opportunity, Xu Xing was not a stupid person who was waiting, so he hurriedly bowed to Master Ma and said sincerely.

To put it mildly, Xu Xing is not optimistic about how long Master Ma can live, although Master Ma is strong in martial arts, and the assassination of Governor Fang Yun almost escaped this time, but the origin of "good swimmers drown, good fighters die in killing" is not an empty saying.

"This ......"

Master Ma was caught off guard.

Ordinary people, hearing his words, shouldn't they take a show before they come out.......

How could Xu Xing be like this, and directly asked him what the opportunity was.

"It's not a big deal."

"My family tradition is the "Meridian Purification Exercise", the ancients said: The meridian and the kanli are combined, which is the best time to practice and recuperate. This "Meridian Gong" was passed down from the ancestors. ”

"The ancestor is one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, and he is a real ...... of Danyang"

"The head of the Weijing Academy is Liu Guyu, who is the leader of Guan Xue. Quanzhen Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism are one, and you have a good relationship with Guan Xue, if you can be admitted to Xiucai, you can also bluntly say that you are from Guan Xue, and then I will ask the head of the Longmen faction, or you can pass on your true skills......"

Master Ma glanced at Xu Xing deeply and said slowly.

The reason why he did not pass on Xu Xing's "Meridian Gong" was because this exercise was a family tradition, and it was not allowed to be allowed by the Quanzhen Dao, and it was not allowed to be taught to outsiders without permission, even if it was a disciple.

But his failure to make this way does not mean that Xu Xing will not be able to obtain the true inheritance of the Dragon Sect.

"The Seventh Son of Quanzhen?"

"Guan Xueyi? The true biography of the Dragon Gate Sect? ”

Xu Xing suddenly had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

He never expected that the seemingly reckless master Ma had such a relationship with the Quanzhen Dao. And the Quanzhen Dao has such a relationship with Guan Xue and the Weijing Academy......

Also, Guanzhong seems to be big, but it is also small.

The true way is in Zhongnan Mountain.

Chongyang patriarch Wang Chongyang is a native of Xianyang.

Before Wang Chongyang entered the Tao, he was a jinshi in Qin Province, and it seems that he has this relationship with Guan Xue...... It's also a common thing.
