"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you have anything to ask?" said Master Zuo as he walked back to his seat and put the blaster back on the platform.

Qingzhou General Ma Kaiming raised his hand to signal him to ask a question.

"General Ma, please speak!" the left division made a gesture of please.

"I have two questions. Ma Kaiming said.

"Speak. ”

"The first question is, what is vitality? Do we ordinary people have vitality?" asked Ma Kaiming.

"General Ma, these are already two questions," Zuo Shishi smiled slightly, and everyone also smiled happily, "But you asked this question very well!"

"Yuanqi is a philosophical concept in ancient times, referring to the original substance that produces and constitutes all things in heaven and earth, and its written record was first seen in the philosophical work "Crane Guanzi" in the pre-Qin period of the ancient Chinese people. ”

"The theory of Yuanqi in ancient philosophy is the worldview of people's understanding of nature, and its theory can be traced back to the 'Tao' of the ancient Chinese sage Lao Tzu, which was basically formed in the 'Xinqi Theory' jointly created by Song Yu and Yin Wen during the Warring States Period of the ancient Huaxia Nationality, that is, the 'Qi Monism', which developed in the 'Yuanqi Naturalism' of Wang Chong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty of the ancient Huaxia Nationality and the 'Yuanqi Ontology' advocated by Zhang Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty of the ancient Huaxia Nationality. ”

"The ancient metaphysical classic "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" also records that the storage place of Yuan Qi is in the Qi Sea Cave, and the human body structure and veins are the same, so in principle, there is Yuan Qi. ”

With his hands behind his back, Master Zuo paced square steps and talked eloquently.

"I roughly understand, can I think that ordinary people also have vitality, but whether it has been stimulated through cultivation like Teacher Zhang Xuangen, is that so?" Ma Kaiming asked again.

"Yes," Zuo Shishi replied, "or to use a more technical word, 'awakening.'" ”

"The second question, if only a few people can achieve the release of vitality, what is the significance of Yu Kyushu Kingdom?" Ma Kaimingqi asked, "After all, there are only a few ancient martial arts cultivators, and there are even fewer people who can achieve the same martial arts cultivation as Teacher Zhang Xuangen!"

Several of the generals in the audience nodded in agreement.

"I don't mean to offend you, General Ma, but the information I got is contrary to what you said, I heard that there are many people in the army of the Kyushu Kingdom and among the common people who are practicing ancient martial arts privately, and after the 'Datong Qianzhuang series of robberies', the number of ancient martial arts cultivators has surged. ”

"After the rise of guns, cannons and other hot weapons in the sixteenth century, ancient martial arts were in decline for a time, and many martial arts and kung fu mastery that have been handed down for thousands of years have been lost; I'd better show you a few things!"

Master Zuo turned his head and motioned for the attendants to take out the things from the side hall, and after a while, several attendants came out of the side hall with a few thick stacks of books from the side hall and placed them on the conference table in front of Master Zuo.

"Guwu translation?" asked Yanzhou General Sima Long suddenly in his seat.

"Hehe," Master Zuo smiled happily, "General Sima really has good eyesight, this is the so-called ancient martial arts translation that is popular in the army and among the people nowadays, since General Sima can recognize it at a glance, I dare to guess that General Sima should have seen a lot." ”

Sima Long shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips and said he would not comment.

"These ancient martial arts translations were collected by Shi Taihong, the commander of the Wangcheng Forbidden Army, from the ordinary soldiers of the Wangcheng Forbidden Army, this one is called ......" Zuo Shishi picked up one casually and glanced at it, "This book is called Shi's Star Sutra," After speaking, she put it on the table casually.

Then she picked up another one, "This one is called the Sword Sutra." ”

"This book is called "Plum Blossom Knife Method". ”

"This one, "Yijin Jing". ”

As he spoke, Master Zuo slapped his hands on the stacks of translations, and then picked up a stack of ancient animal skins on the lifting platform, "Of course, these translations are all translated from the ancient animal skin books unearthed in the Qinghe dungeon, and this is not news." ”

"Okay, even if our soldiers practice ancient martial arts privately, then what's the matter?" General Ma continued, "No matter how much you break the cultivator, won't you be killed with a single shot?"

"General Ma, I don't dare to agree with what you said. The 'Datong Qianzhuang Series of Robbery Cases' was personally supervised by me, and the main culprit Ye Tian was really not as easy to deal with as you said, not to mention killing him with one shot, that time the hundreds of soldiers in my 'Jizhou Legion' were fully armed and failed to trap Ye Tian in his mansion, but instead let him kill and wound dozens of people and successfully escape," Jizhou General Yang Zhaoye took over the conversation and said, "Until Ye Tiansheng was captured in the 'Valley of the Wicked', I'd 'Jizhou Legion' have suffered a total of more than 1,000 brothers killed and wounded, and the losses are heavy!"

"I guess the implication of Zuo Shishi's words is that he is worried that ordinary soldiers will continue to practice like this, and once they make a breakthrough and become a strong man like Ye Tian, there will be a situation that we can't control, and once the superior officer can't control the lower-level soldiers, the army will be prone to mutiny, am I right?" Yang Zhaoye asked.

"What General Yang said is extremely true!" Master Zuo replied in a deep voice, "According to our investigation, Ye Tian is a senior ancient martial arts practitioner, he has practiced Wing Chun for thirty-five years, because of his talent, at the age of forty-eight he has reached the cultivation stage of 'refining and refining Qi', in order to capture him alive, General Yang's 'Jizhou Legion' killed and injured more than 1,000 brothers, most of them were injured by explosive guns, it can be seen that ordinary soldiers in the army practice ancient martial arts privately, how dangerous it is for the country and the army?" One Ye Tian can set off such a big storm, what about ten, what about a hundred, and with a thousand cultivators like this, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Everyone was silent, but they thought it was true.

"In addition, I learned from other sources that the governments of the three countries of Europe, Kushan, and Equatoria are also facing the problem of the spread of ancient martial arts practices in the army and among the people, which is not only a problem of our country, but a worldwide problem!" said Master Zuo solemnly.

"Then how to solve it? Explicitly prohibited?" Ma Kaiming spread his hands, "I can't think of any good solution for the time being!"

"Therefore, I have summoned you here today to discuss with you how we, as the administrators of the kingdom, should deal with the flood of ancient martial arts in the army and among the people.

"Thank you Zuo Shishi for giving us a very wonderful report," the regent Hao Lian Aliluo said, "Next, I want to hear the views and suggestions of the generals of various states on this matter, Yang Zhaoye, you have supervised the 'Datong Qianzhuang series of robberies', you are more familiar with the situation, let's start with you!"

The night is deep, the bright moon is in the sky, and the royal city is in the dormitory.

Looking at the lady Queen Cui lying beside her, her nose moved lightly from time to time, her lips closed with her breathing, and her snoring gently fluctuated, but the regent Hao Lian Aliluo tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and when he was upset, he simply got up quietly and went to the back garden alone to relax, and unconsciously walked to the "meditation" pavilion by the lake, and then stepped into it and sat on the stone chair looking at the sparkling lake in a daze, and the personal attendant quickly put on a warm coat for him, and served hot tea and desserts.

The military meeting held in the military aircraft hall during the day was spent in a quarrel and debate, and the meeting finally decided on a 12-character policy: "Guidance is the main thing, effective control, and use it for my own use." The meeting also decided to hold an annual "Ancient Martial Arts Cultivator Selection Competition" in the capital Tongwancheng, inviting military and civilian ancient martial arts practitioners to sign up to participate, using the gimmick of ancient martial arts practitioners serving the country and promising official titles, money and reputation, but the real purpose was to monitor and control the ancient martial arts practitioners and make use of them to avoid chaos.

In fact, it is not difficult for ancient martial arts practitioners to appear in the army, military merits, honors, military ranks, money, etc. can guide them positively, but what really makes Hao Lian Aliluo feel a headache is Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a, the king of Yong, who did not attend the meeting during the day, for Hao Lian Aliluo This is the "sword of Damocles" hanging over his head.

Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a was ordered by the old king to pursue and suppress the rebels in many provinces all the year round, during the old king's pro-government period, Hao Lian Mu Zhang'a once wiped out all the domestic rebels, and led the "Kyushu Army" 300,000 elites to guard Yongzhou for many years to resist the invasion and plunder of the Kingdom of Kyushu by the beastly domain of the Dongwu Kingdom.

But since the two were divided, Hao Lian Aliluo on behalf of the old king in the central government, the domestic rebels have revived overnight, and the combat effectiveness of the comeback rebels has been upgraded, used to be beaten by the "Kyushu Army", but now it can wrestle with the "Kyushu Army", and after several years of fierce fighting, the rebels are fighting bigger and bigger, fighting more and more, and there is a tendency to spread to the hinterland of the Kyushu Kingdom.

In the fifty-fourth year of Taijia, there were capable officials who played the old king to impeach King Yong, saying that King Yong "raised his own respect, killed good and risked merit, and the officials and bandits were a family", and was stripped of his official position and demoted to the common people by the old king in anger, and since then the ministers of the court and the central government have been silent, but the ministers of the court and the central government have understood that the crimes listed in the impeachment chapter are not groundless but have evidence, such as the weapons used by the rebels, from the previous copycat version to the standard version, where do these standard weapons come from? The armed convoys of standard weapons manufactured in the Iron and Steel Works of the Underworld have been repeatedly robbed and secretly sent to various provinces. Who leaked the news? Who is behind the scenes?

Hao Lian Aliluo looked at the sparkling lake with his eyes, and drank the tea that was about to cool in his hand.

Of the nine major states in the kingdom, except for Yongzhou, there were eight state generals who attended the meeting during the day, among which only Yanzhou general Sima Long and Yangzhou general Sheng Baisha were old subordinates of the old king and belonged to the centrists; Yuzhou general Fang Zubing was personally raised by him and was regarded as his own people, while the other five state generals were all from the "Kyushu Legion," but they were the descendants of Hao Lianmu Zhang'a.

Now the old king Hao Lian Kyushu is not dead, and Yu Wei is still there, so the general of the eight states still accepts the moderation of him as the second deputy commander on the surface, but when the old king returns to the west with his life, how many states can he, the second deputy commander, control?

Hao Lian Aliluo shook his head a little self-deprecatingly and smiled bitterly, picked up the teapot on the stone table, and filled it himself.
