Volume 1 The Rise of the West Chapter 35 Nine Yuan Peeps into the Sky
Jiying Town, in the former army camp.
Liu Ruiying pondered for most of the night, and didn't know how to break through the third level of "indomitable" and unite knowledge and action.
In fact, the word he chose is the core of the seven-character mantra, and it has also triggered the holy theory of the transformation of civil and military affairs for hundreds of years.
As long as this one word can be overcome, then the remaining six words will be easily solved.
According to legend, the ancestor sage who created this sword technique was named Zhang Su.
From that era to the present, he is the only sage in both civil and military realms who worships at the same time.
His contribution to the development of martial arts is unparalleled in the world.
Therefore, there are "tens of millions of martial artists in the world, and more than half of Zhang Sumen." "One said.
Regardless of whether you have really studied with Zhang Su or not, as long as you are influenced by his martial arts theory, you will call yourself half of his disciple.
As a result, it is really peach and plum all over the world.
At the right time, the civil and military provinces crowded out each other.
Wendao thinks martial arts are vulgar, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.
Wu Dao said that Wen Dao is sour and rancid, like a fat pink lady.
This situation lasted until Zhang Su came out.
Legend has it that his mother gave birth to him one night when she was only five months pregnant.
That morning, his father had a dream.
I dreamed that auspicious clouds suddenly rose in the sky, and then the sun shone brightly. There are many immortals standing above the auspicious clouds, all of them holding swords, wearing moon-white long-distance running, and embroidering the words "Wenwuyi" with gold threads.
As the auspicious clouds flew closer and closer, a buzz gradually came to mind.
At this time, one of the immortals led by him stood up and looked at Zhang Su's father with a smile.
"I don't know ...... the immortals are coming"
Zhang Su's father hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but he only said such a sentence and couldn't stop talking.
The immortal handed over the sword in his hand to his left and right, took out a basket from behind him, and pinched the magic trick with his right hand, and the auspicious clouds poured down like a waterfall, turning into a cloud ladder.
The immortal stepped on the basket, stepped down the ladder, and said to Zhang Su's father, "This son will bestow you." ”
Zhang Su's father hurriedly took the basket and saw that it was a chubby baby boy, blinking at him with big black eyes.
"Dare to ask the immortals and advice?"
Zhang Su's father looked at the infant in the blue, then looked at the immortal and asked.
"Whatever you want. ”
The immortal said.
Later, no matter what he asked, the immortals smiled and said nothing.
As the sound in his ears faded away, the immortal walked up the ladder and walked away.
Subsequently, Zhang Su's father woke up. Finding himself kneeling in the atrium, he felt that this dream was unusual, so he hurried to his pregnant wife to tell him about it.
Unexpectedly, just after the dream was finished, his wife suddenly wanted to give birth.
Zhang Su's father was shocked, it had only been five months!
After the midwife came out with the child she gave birth, Zhang Su's father quickly knelt down again and kowtowed to the sky outside the door, and the family was shocked.
This child looks exactly like the son of the immortal in his dreams!
During the 100-day banquet, Zhang Su's father widely publicized the incident, and everyone was amazed by the miracle.
Because all the immortals who gave their sons that day wore moon-white robes and looked quite simple, they named him Zhang Su.
Zhang Su was fortunate to be born in a wealthy family, although he was not as good as the royal family, but he also had endless food and clothing, so he was indeed able to do whatever he wanted.
He has been tired of literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he dances with guns and sticks every day.
People of the time often asked, "Is there a place you want to go to, and what do you want to do?"
When ordinary people talk to him, he scoffs.
The only question, no matter how many times, will put down the gun and answer carefully: "The world is so big, you can go everywhere, why do you have to be in a corner of peace? A good man has ambitions in all directions, even if I can't be a general, no matter how bad I am, I have to be a hero!"
One day, Zhang Su returned home from outside the city and saw many notices posted at the gate of the city.
It turned out that there was a gang of bandits who had recently committed frequent crimes in the city, and the government was offering a reward.
Zhang Su looked at the itch in his heart, isn't this his chance to be a hero?
Don't want money, just to make a name for yourself.
Unexpectedly, an official guarding the notice stopped him and asked him to fill out a chapter form and clarify the information first.
Zhang Su looked at this chapter, and the dense words made his eyelids hurt...... What's more, on weekdays, I only care about fighting, killing and killing, and I don't know seven or eight of these words.
Embarrassed, he threw away his pen and ran all the way home.
Since then, there has been no longer the sound of sticks and instruments in the entire Fu Garden, replaced by the sound of Lang Lang's book.
"No wonder those poor and rotten Confucians look down on our martial arts cultivation, I want to be a hero and make a righteous move, but I can't even fill in the form...... Doesn't it make people laugh without big teeth?"
Zhang Su began to study hard, and after reading a lot of books for ten years, he found that there were big problems in the current civil and military affairs.
Martial arts are all inherited by master and apprentice, and most of them are spoken and memorized. And the foreword of the predecessors is unorganized.
The people who cultivate martial arts are full of enthusiasm on the whole screen, blindly rushing, not asking about right and wrong, and reckless of the consequences. It's like finding the key in a dark room, looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, only a few lucky air carriers found the first opportunity and embarked on the right path. And many others have failed in repeated attempts and attempts, and even lost their lives.
Therefore, many families with slightly better conditions do not allow their offspring to cultivate martial arts. Only poor families who can't eat enough will be willing to cut their bodies, vowing to fight for wealth on the way to martial arts.
On the contrary, scholars all over the world have been instilled with the concept that practicing martial arts is ashamed. It is thought that it is a reckless man, but after all, it is the work of the Lower Riba people. And the article is the first major event in the ages, and it is the torch passed down from generation to generation.
However, the eternal articles of the readers have been bound by those corrupt Confucians with various traps, and it is difficult to play.
The whole article is full of absurd words, and there are no surprising words.
It's full of flattery, and there's no real insight.
There are two ways of civil and military, one side is doing blindly, and the other is talking nonsense.
Although Zhang Su found the problem, there was no way to solve it, so he had no choice but to leave home and travel the world.
This walk is fifteen years.
In the end, he chose a place to settle down, in Sanmen Prefecture in the present-day Pingnan Domain.
On the day of Zhang Su's 40th birthday, he was drinking and laughing with friends in the restaurant.
At this moment, he suddenly realized!
Dip your hands in wine to refer to the pen, and start writing on the wall of the restaurant.
The friend was stunned for a moment, and then quickly looked for a pen to record, only to find that the previous few lines had dried up and evaporated, and there was no trace......
The rest of the records are as follows: Know, understand also. I don't hear about it, but I know its connotation. Those who are not familiar with it by heart, and who come easily, cannot be known. OK, action too. It's not a dragonfly that dots the water, but a dragon that dives into the abyss. There is no beginning and an end, and those who persevere cannot do it. However, knowledge is the pre-decision of action, knowledge is the helmsman of action, and knowledge is the idea of action; action is decisive to know, behavior is to know the reality, and behavior is to know the skill. Knowledge and action are mutually reinforcing and cannot be separated, otherwise you will not know everything you know, and you will not be able to do anything. Know when, where and where it is feasible, and the direction is really done. When and where to go, you can know the direction. The two ways of civil and military affairs are like knowing and doing. Don't do delusions, don't do evil deeds, you have to be the unity of knowledge and action.
After Zhang Su finished writing, he returned to the table and said to his friend, "It's time for me to go." ”
His friend asked him, "Where are you going?"
Zhang Su shook his head with a smile and did not answer.
"Is there anything else you want to say? I'll help you tell your family. ”
My friend asked.
"The confusion of the two religions has been solved, and knowledge and action have been united. This heart is worthy of heaven and earth, what can I say?"
After Zhang Su finished speaking, he fell straight back with a smile, but he was out of breath.
My friend wept and immediately went looking for someone to help.
Unexpectedly, when the friend returned again, Zhang Su's body was gone.
Later, a friend printed 100,000 copies of Zhang Su's theory of the unity of knowledge and action, and swayed it along the way to his hometown to report to his family.
Soon it spread in all directions, and the whole world was shaken......
Nowadays, Wendao talents may also have a skill, and the generals and martial artists can also read the article.
Countless exercises and martial arts have been summarized and sorted out in detail, but future generations no longer have to risk their lives and explore on their own.
It's like a light in the room.
With the help of the theory of the unity of knowledge and action, Wu Xiu's path was instantly illuminated.
On the other hand, Liu Ruiying, he knows a lot, but what he can do is far from enough......
However, at present, he is ready to return to Dingzhou Mansion today.
The matter of the wolf rider has been clearly resolved, and after he returns to the Dingzhou Mansion station building to report to the headquarters of the Central Capital, if there is nothing else, Liu Ruiying is also ready to leave. After all, the Northwest sent a special envoy to investigate, but it was not only a domain of the Dingxi Monarchy and a mansion of Dingzhou Mansion.
Liu Ruiying walked out of the tent door, and saw Tang Zhongsong's back, and walked into Huo Wang's big tent with his father Tang Ming.
Liu Ruiying couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
After this toss, Tang Ming also lost any confidence...... Even with the pine in the soup, I think the days ahead will not be as chic as before.
Tossing and turning may not increase helplessness, and indulging in wine cannot be enjoyable.
After all, the mountains and rivers are long, how can everything go well?
In this life, no one can escape a thought:
Bow your head, and your children and grandchildren wrap around your knees.
Raise your head, the beloved is still there.
Looking ahead, there is a long way to go.
Looking back, the past is like smoke.
"Yo, are you going to leave?"
Tang Zhongsong saw Liu Ruiying and a group of personnel from the Investigation Department packing their luggage.
"Yes, go back to Dingzhou Capital City to report, and then wait to see if there is a new order. ”
Liu Ruiying replied a little stiffly, he didn't know what kind of emotion to treat Tang Zhongsong.
"Haha, it's good, it's good......"
After Tang Zhongsong finished speaking, he walked to the back of the tent, as if to relieve himself.
"We'll see you all in the middle, and I'm still thinking about those big-breasted girls!"
Tang Zhongsong said.
Liu Ruiying smiled and said a good word.
"Seven feet away from the wind, three feet high against the wind, who is not convinced, you have a heroic face!"
Tang Zhongsong sang to himself, and his voice rose from behind the tent.
On this day, the Dingzhou Prefecture announced to Dingzhou, and the new governor was succeeded by Jiang Hengjiao.
On this day, the Dingxi Wangfu announced the Dingxi Wangyu, and the Dingxi King Huo Wang accepted Tang Zhongsong, the son of Tang Ming, the commander of Dingzhou Prefecture, as an apprentice.
............
At this moment, the middle capital.
When it comes to territory, the king of Qingzhong is undoubtedly the smallest.
However, a central capital city is better than thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Three points of the world are magnificent, and two points are exclusive to the central capital. ”
Throughout the vast continent, thousands of years with the sun and the moon shine together, and the world is immortal;
Since the old man of the star sword leveled the world, although he created the name of the Great Unification Dynasty, he made other people's wedding dresses, just like the west wind withering green trees.
Subsequently, the heroes rose together, and it was another catastrophe in which the people were struggling to make a living, and the dust and smoke were everywhere.
Who would have expected that Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, was eloquent and strategic, and the horse was strong and weak, and he pacified the world for the head of the five kings.
The current Taiping Central Capital, the north and the south do not face each other. The grandeur is Mirui, and the moon shines brightly.
Outside the middle capital, there is no one to protect it.
Sixteen gates stood in all directions, but they were open day and night.
This is the spirit of the middle capital, because I am afraid that there are no people or forces in the world who dare to offend the majesty of the middle capital.
There are three military camps in the north, southwest, and southeast corners of the city.
This is the greatest reliance of King Qingzhong to become the head of the five kings in the world, and the biggest weapon to dominate the middle capital - the three powerful armies: Chongwei, Fold Wei, and Evil.
In times of war and strife, the Sanwei Army was famous all over the world.
At the end is the division of the tiger and the dragon plate, the army that turns the world upside down.
The central capital city is all arranged according to the symmetrical pattern of the central axis. The whole city is centered on the north-south Qingzhong Royal Road, and the east and west sides are symmetrical, and the number and area of the streets are neatly arranged.
The east-west and north-south streets are all intertwined and woven into a grid, which distinguishes the outer city where the castle lord's mansion is located.
Each grid area is called a garden.
There are a total of 9981 streets in the outer city of Zhongdu, with a total of 324 gardens.
At the beginning of each street, there is a pavilion with ten city guards, who are subordinate to the central capital city lord's mansion.
Each garden had a camp with one hundred and one city guards, and was equipped with a messenger platform.
Once an incident occurs, the sun will be shining and the night will be fireworks. The nursery where the accident occurred immediately formed a linkage with each of the surrounding nurseries, and according to the level of the cause, each surrounding nursery would send ten, twenty-five, and up to thirty-five city guards to support.
The Nakato Castle Lord's Mansion mainly manages the affairs of the inner (outer city) of the Nakato, and the Castle Guards are the military forces that guard the Nakadu Castle, and also have law enforcement duties, which are personally led by the Nakadu Castle Lord.
In addition, because King Qingzhong's palace is in the inner city of the middle capital, the city guards are also known as King Qingzhong's Praetorian Guard, which is his last barrier to protect himself.
Since its establishment, the castle guards have never participated in a single campaign.
has always been obscure, and even the middle capital has not taken a step.
The Central Capital Investigation Division, located in the west of the outer city, forms a triangular pattern with the Xiangteng Inn and the City Lord's Mansion, and is the three largest buildings in the outer city.
In addition to this, there are four large markets in the middle capital.
Each market has its own division of labor, but it should never be confused.
The East Market sells all kinds of daily necessities.
Whether it's polished rice from the Pingnan Domain, or the fresh sea from the Andong Domain, there's everything you need to eat.
What is sold in the West Market is a red and white ceremonial event.
Weddings and funerals, continuation of the matchmaker, mandarin duck quilts, dragon and phoenix candles, nanmu coffins, gold silk paper money, all of which are on the table and bright goods.
Nanshi doesn't buy goods, but it is a place to sell your art.
The occupations of the lower nine ranks are all gathered here, but they are constantly lively all day long.
There are not only the babbling and singing of the drama, but also the shouting of the shaver along the street, and the fortune teller blocking the road to ask for hexagrams, not to mention the coquettish smile of the Qinglou girl to attract customers.
Fighting cocks and dogs, playing with pigeons and picking insects, fat people who breathe fire and spit water, and dwarfs who swallow swords, there is no novelty that it does not have in Nanshi.
The North City is also known as the Miscellaneous Market, as long as the other three cities do not have, then you can definitely find it here.
In addition to serious trading, there are not a few people who come to North Market to pick up leaks.
What kind of pen and smoke used by sages, the exercises passed down by powerful martial arts, true and false, rely on your eyes, and rely on your conscience.
As for the demon pill mentioned earlier, it can only be bought and sold at the Xiangteng Inn in the middle capital.
As the largest and most chain inn on land, Xiangteng Inn can be found in almost every corner of the mainland. Even the sea ships going to sea will have exclusive boxes and bedrooms of Xiang Teng Inn.
Xiang Teng Inn is known for its luxurious decoration, delicious dishes, meticulous and complete service, and ...... Absolute safety is known all over the world.
It is the place where all dignitaries and nobles, rich businessmen and wealthy businessmen flock to it.
Therefore, there has always been a Xiangteng Inn in the world, and it is said that the flower boat is too high.
It's a symbol of identity, of status.
What's more, in the Xiangteng Inn, there is a figure who even admires Ren Yang for fishing swords - Ma Wenchao who broke into Jiushan with two kitchen knives.
The chef is one of the three religions.
Ma Wenchao can be described as the Taishan Beidou of one of the cooking skills.
The rest, such as wine shops, restaurants, teahouses, garment shops, steamed bun shops, preserved fruit shops, silver horns, salt shops, pawnshops, pharmacies, doctors, horse markets, etc., are all there, and they are arranged in a staggered manner in the outer city.
And in the inner city of the central capital, there is nothing but the palace of Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong.
On the gate of the inner city, the king of Dingxi engraved two words with a sword qi: Zhige, so the inner city gate is also called Zhige Gate.
Take, stop the war in the world, and return the meaning of Qingning for a hundred years.
When I entered the Zhigo Gate, there was an inner gate, and when I arrived here, it was the main gate of the palace.
I saw that the door was decorated with dragons, and the door railing was finely carved with flowers and plants. There is no overly bright color, but it is natural and solemn and elegant.
The ink-colored walls are made of white jade and decorated with leopard-patterned tiger skin stones on both sides.
After entering the door, one of them passes through the hall, flanked by two verandahs.
The first thing that catches your eye is a huge courtyard.
Spring has been in the capital for a long time, and at this moment the garden is purple and red, and the weeping willows are blowing. There is also a secluded path, which links to the strange stones on the rooftop. From the top of the strange rocks, there is a flying water pouring down, converging into a small stream. A stone bridge spans the top, and gold scales swim underneath the bridge.
The stream is clear and turbulent, the young leaves of the trees are biased, and the spring flowers in the garden are fragrant.
The further you go, the more verdant the trees become, the strange flowers and plants flicker at each other, and the vines and branches cover each other.
The verandah is no longer visible, but the hall is flat and wide.
Turning along the passage, there is another stone bridge, but it is much larger than the previous one.
There is a pavilion on the bridge, and there are two people in the pavilion.
A middle-aged person.
Wearing a purple indigo soft smoke robe, a pale blue lychee pattern gold belt tied around his waist, a head of hair like the wind, a pair of deep tiger eyes, and a burly body.
It is really upright, chic and elegant, heroic and extraordinary.
The other person was an old man.
Wearing a plain shirt, with an ochre treasure pattern rhino belt tied around his waist, flowing silver hair, and his eyes were wise but slightly worried.
The body does not look like a middle-aged Gundam, but it is also radiant, and his gestures reveal a calm and unhurried bearing.
"Jing Hao, I don't understand something. ”
The old man asked.
This middle-aged man is none other than the king of the five kings today, Liu Jinghao.
"Old Chen, but it's okay to ask. ”
Liu Jinghao said humbly.
"In your garden, there are countless rare and exotic grasses, why do you want to add a fence to this pear tree and send someone to take care of it?"
"Haha, that's an interesting story for the next time. ”
Liu Jinghao said.
"I want to hear about it. ”
"That was when I was just starting out...... After a defeat and escape, it has been four days and three nights without water and rice...... Eventually, I ran to a place called Ice Skate, which now belongs to the Zhenbei Domain. The whole village has long been deserted, and even the well has dried up...... When the bucket went down, only half a bucket of loess was hit. But next to the dry well, I found a pear tree, and I really tried my best to climb up and eat I don't know how many pears in one go. I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I only eat until I feel that the pear water is blocked in my throat, and I have to spit it out when I bow my head. Then, I slept in the tree again, but I survived again. Later, the world was stable, and I was already the king of Qingzhong. Once, Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, invited me to go on a tour, and on the way to the appointment, I passed by that village again and found that the pear tree was still there...... I thought that if I didn't have this pear tree, I would also be a business that has not been half a business and the middle way has collapsed. Recalling the beacon years of that year, and remembering the countless comrades and siblings who died one after another, I couldn't help but dismount and cry bitterly. Emotional and angry, he immediately set up a case and burned incense and became brothers with this pear tree. Then he ordered someone to move it back to the middle capital, so that he could take care of it, and he also made it the Marquis of Aoxue. ”
Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, said.
"It sounds a bit ridiculous to marry a pear tree and hereby marquisit, but it is deeply touching under the tasting...... However, the pear blossom is pale white and cold enough to bully the snow, but it also lives up to the name of this proud snow marquis. ”
Chen Lao said, taking out a burlap bag from his sleeve.
When Liu Jinghao, the king of Qingzhong, saw this small bag, he immediately retreated two steps back and bowed down.
"It's a few days early, but it's fine. ”
Chen Lao said.
"But it's a little abrupt underneath. ”
Liu Jinghao was a little embarrassed, he had never been so breathless.
If there is a way, care is chaos.
Chen Lao didn't say anything anymore, but slowly uncovered the knot at the mouth of the linen bag, and poured out nine jade pieces packed with copper coins from it.
He weighed the nine jade pieces in his hand slightly, and then threw them into the sky.
"Dry, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Zhong, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui! Nine Yuan Peep into the Sky, Up!"
I saw that three faint golden lines appeared horizontally and vertically in the sky, dividing the sky into nine pieces in a tic-tac-toe shape, and each piece had a jade piece sitting in it.
Nine is the extreme, all things are connected, and there is no way to change in seconds.
Just like the king of Qingzhong, he can only see a rough division of nine yuan. But in Chen Lao's eyes, every grid of the Nine Yuan is evolving the trajectory of the heavens and stars.
Gradually, the starlight in each grid became less and less, but the star power became more and more intense.
Eventually, only one remained.
Chen Lao's fingertips connected the dots, shot out a nine-colored treasure light, and entered the grid.
The jade piece suddenly buzzed and began to vibrate, and it actually reflected this nine-colored treasure light into the sky, and hit the only remaining star in this grid.
The stars of the past have recorded the trajectory of all things in time, transcending and surpassing all matter, spirit, thinking, and consciousness.
Compared to the stars, all matter, time, and space are only insignificant illusions.
This is the way to understand the cognitive cycle of natural reincarnation.
Especially among the tribes of Monan, Si Ming and Tianguan are always observing and looking forward to the stars, in order to get enlightenment for development and survival.
With the different seasons, a completely different star will appear in the four directions of the starry sky, southeast, north, and west.
Every winter, in the northern part of the starry sky, a bright star appears. Whenever this bright star appears, it is the day when the sky is cold and the water is dripping into ice.
This bright star is called the Celestial Star.
At ten o'clock in early spring, a new bright star will appear in the east of the starry sky. Every time this bright star appears, everything in the world begins to recover, the plants and trees thrive, and the insects and snakes wake up in convulsions.
This bright star is called the star of the year.
And in the hot summer, in the east of the starry sky, the bright star that appears is called Yingfu.
Whenever the glow rises into the air, the earth seems to be repeatedly scorched by the scorching fire.
Then, in autumn and winter, everything was slaughtered, vegetables and fruits and grains were harvested, and the climate changed strangely, but it was the credit of Zhenxing.
And in addition to these four stars, there is still one star, which is not hindered by the alternation of the seasons and shines forever in the world. is murderous, provoking sword warfare everywhere, but it is Tai Baixing who is to blame.
In the three teachings of literature, martial arts, and art, the onmyoji belongs to the arts.
And the most special type of people in the Onmyoji is the astrologer.
The onmyoji next to him is just learning the number of yin and yang techniques with two hands, what to measure words and touch the bones, draw lots to see the appearance, bluff a few fools with weak hearts, and earn a few mouthfuls of money to moisten the mouth.
Astrologers, on the other hand, study the avenue and the general trend, they don't care about the direction of one person or even one province and one domain, they care about what kind of changes will happen to the whole world.
There are only five people in the world who have cultivated this technique to the extreme, and they are honored by people in the name of the four seasons and five stars.
And this old man is one of them.
"Dingxi is full of wind and clouds, and strange numbers are born sharply. Small insects chirp on a moonlit night, turning into a dragon soaring. ”
Chen Lao looked at the nine palaces and nine yuan in the air and said.
This sentence is a moment, but it is another game in the world.
