Chapter Ninety-Three: The Taiping Sutra

Chen Suisui scratched his head and said, "Sir, I remember, isn't this the slogan of the Yellow Turban Army uprising in the last years of the previous dynasty?"

Tao Yin smiled and said: "Back then, the three Zhang brothers rose up, from hundreds of thousands of people, although they failed to complete the feat of changing the dynasty, but they also became famous figures in the history books. ”

Chen Suisui was puzzled: "Sir, what are you doing when you suddenly mention the Yellow Turban Army?"

Tao Yin picked up the pu fan and shook it slowly, and said slowly: "The people in this peach blossom source are the descendants of the Zhang family. ”

Chen Suisui was taken aback, and then asked: "Sir, what you wrote in your "Peach Blossom Spring" is not 'Since Yun's ancestors avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he was separated from outsiders. ’”

Tao Yin smiled slightly, and said softly: "This is not a history book, it is a natural combination of fiction and reality, sir, I said it more vainly, so there are fewer people who believe in it?"

Chen Suisui remembered what Mr. told him about Liu Ziji yesterday, nodded, and asked, "But isn't it written in the history books that all the three Zhang brothers were executed?"

Tao Yin glanced at Chen Suisui with a smile, took a sip of tea and said: "Sui Sui, everything pays attention to leaving a way back, back then, the three brothers of the Zhang family were able to do this, they are smart people, and it is not difficult to properly arrange the family to find a pure place to escape the world." ”

Chen Suisui was thoughtful.

Tao Yin continued: "This Zhang brother is also a capable person, with a "Taiping Sutra" can turn the Han Dynasty upside down, in addition to the Han Dynasty's qi is near, the ability of these three brothers should not be underestimated, but this governance of the country and the state can not be succeeded by martial arts alone. ”

Chen Suisui was curious: "Sir, what kind of book is this Taiping Sutra? It has been mentioned in the history books, but it is not very detailed. ”

Tao Yin smiled and said to Chen Suisui: "This is a strange book, in the eyes of the Zhang brothers, this is a martial arts secret, so the Zhang brothers can attract everyone to follow with their martial arts." But there's much more to this book. ”

Chen Suisui asked, "Sir, how did you find out?"

Tao Yin picked up the book he had placed on the stone table and said, "Because I have the privilege of seeing this strange book with my own eyes. ”

Chen Suisui figured it out, so he asked Tao Yin for verification, "Sir, but you saw this book in that peach blossom garden?"

Tao Yin smiled and nodded.

Chen Suisui pondered for a moment, looked up at Mr. Tao, and asked again, "Sir, then you taught me martial arts?"

Tao Yin stood up, said to Chen Suisui with his hands behind his back: "Suisui, Mr. hasn't considered your kung fu for a long time, come on!"

Chen Suisui grinned, glanced up at Tao Yin, and pressed the stone table with one hand, and then he got up and attacked Mr. Tao with both legs.

Tao Yin smiled: "Boy, if you break the things in the courtyard, you will have to pay for it." ”

As he spoke, he had already risen up, kicked his right leg upward, and was meeting Chen Suisui who was kicking over.

Chen Suisui saw Mr. Tao take his ankle directly, the dantian sank, turned around in the air, threw his right leg down, but his left leg smashed into the calf of Tao Yin's right leg.

Legs intersected.

Don't look at Tao Yin's past the age of sixties, but the strength on this leg is not small, and he forcibly took Chen Suisui's leg, but it didn't move a bit.

Of course, in addition to the leg, there is also a right arm that is also blocking Chen Suisui's leg.

Tao Yin smiled, turned his fist into a claw, and grabbed Chen Suisui's calf, but Chen Suisui didn't give him a chance, and retracted his left leg by the force of the shock of the two legs colliding.

Tao Yin's eyes shrank, but he didn't avoid it, and his right leg exerted force, directly smashing it into Chen Suisui, who was already half-squatting.

At this time, Chen Suisui was facing away from Tao Yin, and he felt that there was a cold wind behind him, Chen Suisui pressed his palms to the ground, stretched out his half-squatting right leg, and rode on the ground in a word.

Tao Yin smiled at the corner of his mouth, not giving Chen Suisui a chance, his right leg rose up with the power of Chen Suisui's palm, and he stepped down with another foot in the dantian.

Chen Suisui nudged the ground with both palms, slid back a few inches, and cut his legs, clamping the kick that Tao Yin attacked.

Tao Yin was caught by Chen Suisui's legs with one foot, but the other leg was raised in front of his knee, and he stepped towards Chen Suisui's little cow with one foot.

Chen Suisui, who was lying on the ground, was shocked into a cold sweat, his legs loosened, he quickly stepped on the ground and exerted his strength, and with a slap of his palms, he stood up, pouted and looked at Tao Yin, who was in the air, and said: "Sir, don't fight, don't fight, you are really ruthless at all, if you really get hit, I will become Chen Mink Temple." ”

Tao Yin glanced at Chen Suisui, sneered and said: "You have good ambitions, and you are still in the Mink Temple? Are you so good at being the Mink Temple? ”

Chen Suisui grinned, anyway, his little cow is good, what kind of eunuch does he belong to the Mink Temple.

Tao Yin sat back on the stone bench and took a sip of tea, Chen Suisui hurriedly added some tea to Mr. 's cup, grabbed the cup and took a big sip and asked, "Why did Mr. suddenly take the exam for my cultivation?"

Tao Yin's eyes closed slightly, he opened his eyes after a moment of contemplation, and said: "Sui Sui, this "Taiping Sutra" mainly records the internal strength cultivation method, and the internal strength taught to you by Mr. is the internal strength on this "Taiping Sutra". ”

"What?"

Chen Suisui was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, it's not right, when you go to the Peach Blossom Garden......

Tao Yin smiled and said: "I didn't say that I practiced the Taiping Sutra, this boxing martial arts mostly rely on the practice and understanding of the martial arts practitioners, but the internal force, but it is necessary to rely on the exercises to practice seriously, step by step, but the internal force practiced by Mr. is the kung fu of our Jingzhou Ziyang Pavilion, called Zixia Gong." ”

Chen Suisui was puzzled: "Sir, I know that this Ziyang Pavilion is the number one faction in our Jingzhou, and one of the nine major factions in the world, could it be that you were once the disciple of the Ziyang Pavilion?"

Tao Yin shook his head and said, "My martial arts are an ancestral tradition, but my ancestor was once from the Ziyang Pavilion. ”

Chen Suisui was puzzled.

Tao Yin looked at him and said, "Teaching you kung fu is actually that Mr. doesn't want to waste these books you have read, and he doesn't want Mr. to tell you so many books in vain." Years old, if Mr. and I didn't return to this Taojiabao, you didn't enter Mr.'s house by mistake when you were a child, but I am afraid that you will be the same as your father Chen Fugui in this life, and you can only turn the hoe to get a full mouthful. ”

Tao Yin sighed, took a sip of the teacup, and continued: "Sui, sir's words are not to say that being a farmer is bad, but when you have the ability to do more things for yourself and others, so that the truth in this world is more understandable, and let this truth touch more people, why not do more things? ”

Chen Suisui remembered what he had seen and heard on this trip.

Nodding, he asked, "Sir, what does this have to do with my martial arts, and why did you teach me the Taiping Sutra instead of the martial arts of the Ziyang Pavilion?"

Tao Yin stroked his beard and said: "This literati, or scholars, unless they are from a prestigious family, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the temple, and it is difficult for a scholar from a poor family to make a difference.

Chen Suisui shook his head.

Tao Yin's fingertips tapped lightly on the stone table and said, "This book and the classics are not available to anyone, but the collection of books in this half of the house of my husband was collected by the ancestors of my Tao family after several generations. Therefore, even if the son of a poor family is talented, he is limited by external forces and cannot afford to read, so it is difficult to get ahead. I finally went to the academy and read books, but if no one recommended me, I still couldn't enter the temple, and at most I was appreciated by others, so I was just a clear guest. At that time, the ambition of Lingyun was finally exchanged for a few glasses of wine. ”

Chen Suisui was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said softly: "Sir, but am I not from a poor family?"

Tao Yin smiled and said, "That's why Mr. taught you martial arts, giving you one more chance to enter the temple." ”

Chen Suisui's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and asked, "What does Mr. mean, Congrong?"

Tao Yin nodded, shook his head again and said: "Yes and no, Sui Sui, in this world, it is very similar to the end of the Han Dynasty, you have far more opportunities than Mr., Mr. In this life, I think too much but achieve nothing, and in the end I can only plow under this Nanshan Mountain, but I can't even understand a crop." ”

Chen Suisui blinked his eyes and said, "Sir, with your ability, where are you not a guest?"

Tao Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. This temperament is not pleasant, if it could have been changed in the early years, now it is a person who is about to enter the earth, let's have a few more comfortable days." ”

Smiling, he said again, "Don't you still have you!"

Chen Suisui pursed his lips.

Tao Yin continued: "As for why I taught you the Taiping Sutra, it was for a mysterious word. In this world, there are many talented people, and when you perform a kung fu that others don't know, it will attract everyone's attention. Not to mention others, our two generals in Jingzhou are all from Ziyang Pavilion, if you learn Zixia Gong, a person from an unorthodox background will not only not be able to make meritorious contributions, but I am afraid that it will also lead to death. ”

Chen Suisui frowned.

Tao Yin smiled and said: "Sui, in the future, you will understand that many people like to say one word, orthodoxy." And sir, this Zixia Gong is unorthodox in the eyes of Ziyang Pavilion. ”

Chen Suisui sighed, leaned on the stone table, and raised his eyes to look at Mr. Tao.

Tao Yin smiled and said, "This is listless?"

Chen Suisui shook his head and said: "Sir~ You are good at everything, you just love to talk at length, speaking of which until now, you haven't said how this "Taiping Sutra" came from, it is obviously the relics of the Zhang family in the Peach Blossom Garden, how can you teach it to me?"

Tao Yin coughed lightly, picked up the teacup, and looked at Chen Suisui again.

Chen Suisui picked up the teapot and shook it, muttering, "Sir, if you don't finish speaking, I won't boil water." ”

Tao Yin shook his head slightly, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and slowly said after a moment of silence: "There are more people in this peach blossom source than our Taojiabao people, but not everyone practices martial arts, and the Zhuang Zhuang is just practicing some fists and feet, and this "Taiping Sutra" has always been in the hands of the Zhang family. Do you know why?"

Chen Suisui thought for a while and said: "After so many years, the Peach Blossom Paradise has been able to escape from the world, and it must be related to the lord of this clan, but if the lord of the clan does not have some means to suppress everyone, relying solely on the subordinate relationship that was not very close in the first place, I am afraid that even if this Peach Blossom Paradise is not born, it will fall apart internally." ”

Tao Yin nodded and said: "This is the importance of strength, otherwise there is no strength to maintain and consolidate, and no one is willing to sit down and abide by the rules and be reasonable." ”

Chen Suisui sat up straight and coughed lightly.

Tao Yin laughed twice and said: "This person is old, there are a lot of words, when Mr. I stumbled into the mountain gate of the Peach Blossom Spring, but it was not really into the Peach Blossom Spring, this "Taiping Sutra" recorded the art of Qimen Dunjia, the Zhang family in order to escape the world, at the entrance of the mountain gate using the natural terrain to make a gossip illusion array, people who entered this array can only go around in the end, but they can't find the real entrance of the Peach Blossom Spring. ”

Chen Suisui glared and asked curiously, "Sir, how did you get in?"

Tao Yin sighed: "I was brought in, at that time I only felt that weird, thinking that it was such a strange place from heaven, so I searched everywhere inside, went around and around, and after sparing for two days, I had no dry food on my body, but I was unwilling to give up, and then a person appeared and brought me into the Peach Blossom Garden." ”

Chen Suisui was puzzled: "Sir, you are an outsider, so you were brought in? ”

Tao Yin looked a little shy, laughed dryly twice and said: "This person is the daughter of the contemporary patriarch of the Peach Blossom Garden, named Zhang Yu, she saw that I was about to fall into a coma, so she took pity for a moment and led me into the Peach Blossom Garden. ”

Chen Suisui said curiously: "Sir, where is the peach blossom forest mentioned in the text?"

Tao Yin smiled and said, "But it's inside the Peach Blossom Spring, not outside, otherwise it's a huge peach forest, wouldn't it be easy to find?"

Chen Suisui, who was a little ignorant about the love between men and women, did not see a trace of strangeness in Mr. Tao's eyes when he mentioned Zhang Yu.

Tao Yin continued: "After all, it is a few hundred years of escaping from the world, and suddenly someone enters, and the people in the village are curious, but fortunately, there is the patriarch Zhang Han to protect me, and I will avoid being watched every day." ”

Chen Suisui grinned.

Tao Yin glared, and then said: "I have lived in the Peach Blossom Land for more than a month, and I don't want to really spend my life in this paradise, so I asked the patriarch to leave this pure land. ”

Chen Suisui pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Sir, what about this Taiping Sutra?"

Tao Yin looked at the teacup, sighed and said, "Alas, Mr. has said so much, he is so thirsty!"

Chen Suisui picked up the teapot and went to the kitchen, there was still an ember in the small tandoor where the water was boiling, he added a handful of firewood, blew it lightly a few times, the flames were dotted, and there was green smoke rising, blowing a few times, the flames suddenly got up, put two pieces of firewood, he sat the kettle on the stove, came to the kitchen door, and said to Tao Yin: "Sir, this water still has to be boiled for a while, you can say it quickly, I just went to make tea for you after speaking." ”

Tao Yin stood up and paced in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and Chen Suisui leaned against the kitchen door and waited for Mr. to speak.

After pacing a few steps, Tao Yin shook his head, it seemed that this Chen Suisui was about to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Years old, this "Tianping Sutra" was shown to me by Patriarch Zhang, but later it was Zhang Yu who could make me remember this book, as for the inside story, Mr. will not tell you to listen. ”

Chen Suisui opened his mouth, and seeing that Mr. really didn't seem to want to mention it, he sighed and said, "Okay!"

Tao Yin remembered that Chen Suisui mentioned the car three thousand, thought for a moment and said: "In addition to the daughter Zhang Yu, the patriarch of this Zhang clan also has a son named Zhang Xuan, when I met him, he was just a young man as old as you. All told, this age is similar to the 3,000 cars you said. ”

Chen Suisui didn't expect Mr. to suddenly mention the car three thousand, and just wanted to continue asking, but Tao Yin said: "Suisui, the water is boiling." ”

Chen Suisui turned around and went to the kitchen.
