In the afternoon, Li Yuan got off work early.

In the inner courtyard, there are only a few apprentices who are working hard, most of them are entering the inner courtyard with him, and most of them are at the level of qi and blood proficiency.

Du Yun and Lu Zhong in the front yard, as well as several female apprentices in the backyard.

At this time, seeing Li Yuan, Lu Zhong's expression was complicated, and he subconsciously got out of the way, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but bow his head with a flushed face.

Last fall, he also taught Li Yuan pile gong and hammer method.

And now, he is still stuck in mastery and can't go further, and the apprentice in the middle courtyard before is already a rookie in the forging shop, and the big shopkeeper knows it.

"Senior Brother Lu."

Li Yuan said hello, and he didn't know a few apprentices in the inner courtyard, and now among these few, he only knew Lu Zhong and Du Yun.

Lu Zhong answered, put down the stone grinder, and was a little hurried: "Ah, Li, Senior Brother Li, are you going to the private school again?"

Since entering the inner courtyard, his progress has been very slow, with Niu Gui, Qin Xiong has not instructed him for a long time, with Tang Tong leaving and Yu Zhen taking office, their situation is even more difficult.

To this day, he hasn't even learned the full ......

"Yes, a few days ago, I asked Master Wang to find a few books for me."

"Oooh."

After a few words of conversation, Li Yuan left with the envious eyes of several apprentices, walked through the inner courtyard, and from a distance, he saw the prince of the private school.

Wang Fuzi, whose real name is Wang Wenyuan, is an old boy who has accumulated years, and after repeated failures, he responded to Cao Yan's invitation to come to the forging shop to enlighten the disciples of the inner courtyard, and by the way, he will support the elderly.

Few of the disciples in the inner courtyard are willing to read, and most of them don't come back after learning some common words, but he is also idle.

"Li Yuan, the few books you are looking for have been borrowed from a few of my classmates."

Master Wang is quite strong, he is in his sixties, and his hair is not completely white, he is quite familiar with Li Yuan, and he handed over a few books with a smile:

"The old man has also found a lot of people to borrow, you have to take care of it."

"You said I washed my hands before I came."

Li Yuan took it with both hands, replied with a smile, and lay down on the rocking chair under the tree on the side.

It rained heavily last night, and there is still some rain mixed with the smell of grass and trees in the air today.

Li Yuan was half-lying, relieving the fatigue of the day.

Poor literature and rich martial arts, in fact, relatively speaking, these days, people who are literate and hyphenated are not ordinary people, and there are few houses in the outer city that have a book collection.

After thanking Master Wang in his heart, Li Yuan turned the pages of the book.

"Worship God!"

On the first page of the book, there are only three large characters.

Li Yuan squinted slightly, continued to read, and from the second page, he mentioned this sect that he had been asking for a long time but had not gained.

"Not a cult?"

Li Yuan was slightly surprised.

The origin of the cult of worship, the book does not mention much, except that it is a rather ancient sect, dating back thousands of years.

It's called the Worship of God, and it's very different from what he imagined.

"This sect!"

Li Yuan straightened up unconsciously, and his face changed.

"The world will not be able to comprehend, and the frightened people or things, or scenes, or imaginations will be called gods, and they will make clay into gods, and they will bow their heads sincerely, thinking that they can get shelter, good luck, peace, and good fortune......

"What a fallacy!"

"There is only one God in this world! People in the world, from emperors and generals to peddlers and pawns, all worship this god!"

"Running around day and night, just to offer the sacrifice of the stomach, to exhaust all his energy, just to satisfy the pleasures of this god, to spend his whole life, I want to make this temple of the god bigger and more beautiful, I just want to make the statue of the god cleaner and more beautiful......

"God is me, and I am God. This is the meaning of my worship of God, but other than that, it is all false teachings, false scriptures, false gods, and false believers......

……

"Treat yourself as a god, and ask for it!"

Close the first book, Li Yuan's heart

He was really a little surprised, this was not the evil sect he imagined at all.

It's more like a martial arts syllabus that pursues oneself and cultivates one's physical body.

"Could it be the 'Worship Method' mentioned on the statue of the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva and the incense burner?"

Li Yuan was very interested.

He has always considered himself a Taoist, even if he has not been naturalized and has not studied many scriptures, but he also knows that Taoists also do not worship God, only worship ancestors.

The pursuit of those moral cultivators in the legends of the previous life, the feather and ascending to immortals, is somewhat similar to the so-called God-worshipping scriptures.

I am God if I don't worship God.

If I don't worship immortals, I want to become immortals.

"However, this kind of doctrine is destined to not spread widely."

Li Yuan continued to flip through the pages.

Three books,There are only a few sentences about the scriptures of the worship of God.,After that, it's a little divergent.,I don't know which one is the first talent to travel to.。

The harvest is some, but not much.

At the end, he saw a very interesting sentence, vague, but the meaning was obvious......

"Worship yourself as a god, live a long life and do not have all kinds of diseases, have many children and grandchildren, so most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles, and they are sought after by the prime minister, and the grandfather is also ......happy."

"Grandpa, Dayun Taizu, Pang Wenlong?"

Touching the stubble that was already a little prickly in his chin, Li Yuan thought thoughtfully.

Thinking back to the gods of the temples he saw, he estimated that this worship of gods was not the imperial court?

"Well, the small gang occupies one street, and the sect pattern is on the other, then, the imperial court that encompasses the four seas, isn't it the largest sect in the world?"

Perhaps, it is a sectarian alliance?

Li Yuan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible.

That Universiade Taizu and the sect ruled the world, perhaps because the sects had meritorious service in founding the country, and it may be inherited for thousands of years, which is very interesting......

"Master Wang, the book is in the house!"

As it got dark, Li Yuan got up to say goodbye, and Master Wang answered and asked, "Do you want any more books?" Tomorrow's big gathering, the old man will go to his classmates to borrow it!"

"If you have a husband, the disciple doesn't choose, just read the book!"

Li Yuan expressed his gratitude, stuffed a piece of broken silver into the book, and then took his leave, went to the forge to retrieve the inner armor, and then left with a clanging sound.

It was not yet dark, and he was going to go to the Four Seasons Medicine Hall to buy some pills, even if it was a blood pill, and it could be combined with a medicinal bath.

The pill is extremely expensive, and it has to be used, otherwise, the speed will be several times slower, and seeing that the internal strength is ahead, where can Li Yuan endure it?

Before leaving, he glanced behind him.

In the forging room, the lights were bright, and more than a dozen big men were still striking iron, but the sound was much sparser.

"Yu Zhen, join your mother!"

"Brute, straight thief!"

"You're so tired......

Li Yuan could faintly hear the scolding.

For the real ancestors, it is estimated that they have long been exhausted......

……

……

Inner City, Road House.

Lufu is located on the south side of the yamen, outside the courtyard of Sanjin, there is a small garden.

In the evening, the smoke of the Lu family's cooking was rising, and the maids were quite busy.

The backyard is brightly lit, and the inside of the house is like daylight.

The county commander Lu Yunqing wiped his palms lightly, enough to sit on the big table of eight people, with more than 20 dishes neatly placed, and there were maids beside him, holding wine jugs, pouring wine at any time.

Fang Yunxiu frowned slightly.

This table of wine and food is not a luxury in the Dragon Mansion, which is really a bit too extravagant in Gaoliu County.

"Xiaoxiu, when will Elder Han come?"

Lu Yunqing glanced at the sky.

"I don't know."

Fang Yunxiu just shook his head, ate a few bites casually, and got up to leave.

Lu Bailing wanted to follow, but was glared back.

"Eat."

road

Yun Qing's expression was as usual, and he finished eating slowly and methodically, wiping his hands and face, and then returned to the study.

Outside the study, Yu Zhen bowed his hand slightly:

"Yu came suddenly, didn't disturb the adults, right?"

"What did Yu Daxia say? But Lu was sluggish, and the subordinates didn't open their eyes, so they didn't invite the distinguished guests to go in to rest!"

Lu Yunqing reprimanded the housekeeper on the side.

"Where, where."

followed into the study, Yu Zhenfang's expression was slightly serious, and he said, "Brother Cao sent me here to ask my lord, what should I do next?"

"The mountain is big, the lake is clear, and it must take a lot of time to search for the Viper Gang, and you can't rush it."

Lu Yunqing sat behind the bookcase and responded lightly:

"As long as you don't miss the opening ceremony of the Valley of the Divine Soldiers! I heard that the Lord of the Ram Valley is the most important etiquette, and on the day of the opening of the mountain, the inner disciples and the outer elders will inevitably return to the mountain......

"In that case?"

Yu Zhen's expression moved slightly: "Gao Liu went to the Valley of the Divine Soldiers, and it may have been twenty or thirty days since he rode alone, but now it is the twenty-eighth ...... of June."

Lu Yunqing picked up the dossier with a calm expression: "The wind and snow are very strong in winter, and twenty days is not enough."

"So, Yu understands!"

Yu Zhen knew it, said goodbye, and when he went out, he remembered something:

"By the way, Lord County Commander, Yu asked you to borrow a class of officials for use."

"Oh? Yu Daxia and Steward Zhong said yes."

Closing the door of the study, Lu Yunqing's eyes sank slightly: "The ghost face is like Han Chuijun......

"Your Excellency!"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation outside the door, and the footsteps were chaotic.

"What's the alarm?"

Lu Yunqing frowned, but saw a family rushing into the door in embarrassment:

"The brothers finally blocked the man surnamed Qiu, but unexpectedly, someone secretly intervened and rescued him!"

"What?!"

……

……

Outer city, firewood fishing workshop.

In a small courtyard, Qiu Da snorted, woke up faintly, and in his dreams he was being chased and killed, and his expression was very hideous.

"Who!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Qiu Da subconsciously wanted to escape, but he forgot about the injuries on his body, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and black blood flowed out of the unhealed wounds.

In the more than two months since he was hunted down, his injuries have not been treated at all, they have long since festered, and he looks shocking.

"Toss a few more times, and the old man will save you, and it's easy to dig a hole!"

Qiu Da struggled to turn around, only to see an old man lying on a rocking chair under the tree.

"You saved me? Who are you and why ......"

Qiu Da was vigilant in his heart, and was assassinated by his colleagues, he was highly nervous at this time, and was about to ask who the old man was, when he felt a slight pain in the back of his head and fainted.

"He's so badly wounded, aren't you afraid to kill him with a stone?"

Han Chuijun shook the fan lightly, and the grimace mask became more and more terrifying and hideous when it was dark.

"Old Han, the disciple has been waiting for you for two months and nine days!"

Fang Yunxiu walked in expressionlessly.

"I'll rush back in early March next year, it's early, and I don't know where I'll be sent again, so I might as well take the opportunity to rest......

Han Chuijun didn't care.

"You're always looking for a British envoy......

"You're the deputy!"

In the face of this old bastard, Fang Yunxiu was helpless, but he had to hand over a booklet:

"This is what my niece sorted out, Gao Yanagi, and the six nearby counties, a young man under the age of twenty-five, who has a decent talent for root bones, and three high-grade root bones......

"The old man found one, it's not bad, as for you......

Han Chuijun didn't raise his eyelids, still shaking his fan:

"The old man still has to mention you, it is better to lack than to abuse, the roots and bones must be good, and the talent must be equally good."
