Volume 1 The Worldly Rivers and Lakes Chapter 71 Study Talk

"That's right, if some masters of the rivers and lakes really want to assassinate the officials of the imperial court, if they only rely on the command of the guards with two or three inches of internal strength, it is not enough. For example, Suzhou Thorn Shi Cui Huanzhi, and the prime minister in front of him, are all important ministers of the imperial court, and they can't afford to lose, so with a martial arts master with eight inches of internal strength, it is enough. ”

"As for the Great Martial Arts Master, he is the one who has reached the top of the Mortal Martial Arts, after all, the number is scarce. Li Qingxuan's mind turned, and he said in his heart: "As for the people in the cultivation, it must be the legendary Si Tiantai who controls the order?" These many chaotic thoughts only flashed in an instant.

Pei Xiangye looked at the young scholar, felt quite satisfied in his heart, and said with a smile: "After the old man woke up, he was in excellent spirits, and he didn't fall asleep last night, most likely because he slept for too long. Lao Zhang has followed me for many years, and when I talked about you last night, I was full of praise, and the old man already knew about your deeds along the way. ”

After that, this Pei Ge old man paused, and said with a straight face: "If it weren't for Li Langjun's righteous help, the convoy of my Prime Minister's Mansion would have been destroyed, and the old man was able to wake up, and it all depended on Langjun's hundred-year-old raspberry grass." The grace of reconstruction, the old man has no teeth to forget, but he can't get up to thank him, and I hope to forgive me. ”

Li Qingxuan didn't dare to say anything, Pei Xiangye looked at him and praised: "Lang Jun has a noble heart and helps each other with righteousness, which is grateful." I heard that Lang Jun is not only proficient in medical science, but his martial arts are comparable to that of a great martial arts master? Just looking at Lang Jun's young age, he has such extraordinary skills, which is really a miracle in the world. ”

Li Qingxuan was praised by him, but he was not very comfortable, but he even said false praise, which Li Qingxuan secretly thought to himself in his heart: "It is said that the princes and ministers in the court talk like clouds, why is this Pei Ge Lao talking all about praising me?"

"Fan Tengyun once probed Li Gongzi, there was no sign of polishing of the muscles and bones, and there was no trace of the footsteps standing on the pile, but between you walking, it was like wind and fog, and a sword fell like a match, which was amazing. Zhang Weng was beside him, and finally said: "The son is young, he has such skills, and he doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts in my generation, presumably ...... Are you a monk?"

Li Qingxuan had long expected Zhang Weng to reveal his identity. At this time, I heard Pei Xiangye smile and said: "Can Li Langjun cultivate to become a monk?" Hearing this, Li Qingxuan was a little surprised, thinking that this Xiangye knew nothing about cultivation, but he never thought that he knew the realm of cultivation!

But seeing Pei Xiangye smiling, he said: "The old man knows a spiritual vein, there is spiritual energy condensation, which can help people who practice the peak of qi, build a foundation to cultivate medicine, and intersect." Li Qingxuan was suddenly shocked. "The reason why the old man fell so sick was because there was an accident when he passed through the spiritual vein, and most of the accompanying guards fell ill, and the old man bore the brunt and was the most sick. ”

Pei Xiangye said slowly: "The rest of the people have been cured by Hao Yu's doctor, but I am old and dazed, so I fell into such a situation. Fortunately, Li Langjun helped with 100-year-old raspberry grass. "Listening to your deeds last night, I was even better than the great martial arts master, but seeing that you are young and not like a person in the martial arts, the old man guessed in his heart that you are a person in the Tao. Later, I heard that you intended to go to the capital, and it was clear in your heart. ”

Pei Xiangye said: "There are many people in the world who cultivate the Tao and refine qi, but there are very few who can achieve it. This time, there are many strange people and strange people in the capital, and most of the people who have achieved cultivation are gathered in the capital. Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "Xiangye is wise, he is indeed a cultivator in Xia, but his cultivation is insufficient, and he has not yet reached the peak of Qi cultivation. ”

Pei Xiangye sighed: "The peak of Qi cultivation is already comparable to the great master of martial arts. Behind him, the old man surnamed Zhang showed a hint of gloom between his eyebrows, he had practiced martial arts for decades and only cultivated within eight inches, although he was already a hero in the rivers and lakes. But compared with this seventeen or eighteen-year-old young scholar, it is a difference. Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know Xiangye, how much do you know about the realm of cultivation?"

"Si Tiantai is isolated from the world, and those who are ordered to cultivate the Tao are not allowed to show the Dharma in front of others, but in the court, all the ministers of the court who hold great power know it. And almost all of the first-class masters have some contact with the people in the cultivators. Pei Xiangye's tone paused slightly, and said: "Several characters in Si Tiantai are also more or less acquainted, but the head of Si Tiantai, when Mr. Li Mi, the national teacher of the court, I have only seen it once in a hurry." ”

On official positions, Si Tiantai is the first to be the master, but he is a five-grade official position, not big, not small, not high, not low, and it is just an idle position, and he has to make a big gift when he sees the prime minister on weekdays, but how can he be called "Mr" by Pei Xiangye?

Li Qingxuan secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that in the court, the cultivators are not hidden and difficult to find, so in this way, the assassin Cui Huanzhi should also know this, and it is reasonable for Wang Yuan to know about the cultivation." No wonder I wanted to seek the golden sword and jade sword that day, all kinds of medicinal materials, Lord Cui Huanzhi and Wang Yuan were not surprised, and seemed calm, it turned out that they were in the study, and they had already seen through that I was a cultivator. ”

"But in this way, Master's affairs have added a little weirdness. But Li Qingxuan knew that there were a lot of doubts about this matter of the master, so he only turned his mind around and put it in his heart. Next, Pei Xiangye chatted with Li Qingxuan for a few more words, but he never mentioned the spiritual vein. Li Qingxuan couldn't bear it, and finally asked, "Dare to ask Elder Ge, where is the place where the spiritual energy condenses is located?"

Pei Xiangye seemed to have expected it, smiled hehe, and said: "The young man's temperament should have been impatient, but you and I answered many words, and it was still calm, and I didn't ask questions until this time, which shows that my heart is excellent." The place of aura is not far away, wait for me to draw a map tonight, point out the place in detail, it's just ......" Li Qingxuan mentioned slightly in his heart and asked, "Just how?"

Pei Xiangye said: "It's just that Si Tiantai should have intervened in this matter." Li Qingxuan was slightly stunned. "After all, the old man is an important minister of the imperial court, when he fell ill, the famous doctors were helpless, in addition to the imperial doctor Hao sent by the saint, there was also a monk from Si Tiantai. ”

Pei Xiangye said: "The character of the Si Tiantai saw that I was invaded by the spiritual veins and the earth, but he was not good at healing injuries and diseases, so he went back to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and went to ask those characters in the Si Tiantai who were good at healing injuries and diseases. At that time, he returned to the Eastern Capital with a map, but he has not been seen yet. Li Qingxuan frowned and said, "Why is that?"

"Most of the time, the old man, a mortal person, is not in the eyes of the law, and he failed to invite a high-ranking person in Si Tiantai. Pei Xiangye smiled faintly, but said: "However, it is said that the place where the aura condenses is quite rare, but I am afraid that Si Tiantai has already occupied that place at this time." Li Qingxuan was silent for a moment, and his heart sank slightly.

"But it's not impossible. Pei Ge Lao said: "The old man is an ordinary man, but he can still have a little thin noodles, wait for me to repair a book, you get to the place, if there is really a person from Si Tiantai blocking the way, hand over the letter to the other party, presumably you can also give me a little thin noodles." No matter how bad it is, in terms of my court where I like Pei's family, the people of Si Tiantai will also give a little thin noodles. ”

"Li Langjun came to the capital this time, but to participate in the Daomen Conference? If so, then you should go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, although in the past it was always held in Chang'an City, Xijing. But some time ago, the Holy Majesty decreed that a grand event of the Daomen be held in Luoyang City!

Hearing this, Li Qingxuan nodded, and said busily: "Ge Lao's words, thank you Ge Lao for this matter." Judging from the above sentence, although the status of the prime minister of the dynasty is below one person and above ten thousand, it is only a little thin in the eyes of Si Tiantai. As for the words of the mundane people who did not enter the eyes of the law, half of them were ridicule, and half of them were self-deprecation.

"Tonight, the old man can hand over the topographical map and the letter to you, and I will thank you. Pei Xiangye said: "I just asked Li Langjun to leave a name, so that I could add it to the letter." Li Qingxuan naturally responded, he took the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote three words on the paper. Li Qingxuan!

Although he was from the Li family of Zhaojun, he was not a descendant, but he was also well-read and practiced calligraphy since childhood. I saw these three words written, round and full, with a faint charm. Pei Xiangye took the paper, glanced at it, put it on the table, and said, "Li Langjun must not have eaten breakfast yet, Lao Zhang, you take Li Langjun there." ”

Zhang Weng led Li Qingxuan away. When the young scholar left the study, Pei Xiangye took the paper in his hand again and looked at it carefully. At this time, a voice came from behind him, asking, "How is the handwriting?" This person is the master of internal strength hidden in the shadows. Pei Xiangye smiled: "I heard that you also like elegance, why don't you come and take a look?"

The man walked out, took the paper, glanced at it, and said lightly: "The handwriting is round, the font is full, and there is a round and wishful state, it seems that the pen is good, but it is not a calligraphy." It's just that at a young age, it's good to be able to practice this handwriting. ”

"Wrong, wrong, I left his pen and ink, but I didn't want to see if this young man was a calligrapher. Pei Xiangye said with a smile: "Looking at words and people, the old man has to see how his temperament is." The man asked, "Can you get something?" Pei Xiangye pointed to the three words on the paper and said, "As you said, the handwriting is round, the font is full, and there is a round and wishful state." But in my opinion, each of these strokes is clear and distinct, and it is obviously a clear-minded and well-behaved one. ”

But when it comes to the last stroke at the end of the word, a little stroke, still can't help but show a little edge. Pei Xiangye groaned: "Although he has a pure and harmonious temperament, after all, he has a young heart, and he can't help but be a little sharp. The man said, "I have rarely seen you praise a young man so much, and it seems that you have great praise for him." ”

Pei Xiangye said with a smile: "There are very few young people who are so agreeable, seeing that he has a very good heart, tell him where this spiritual vein is, let him cultivate to a difficult point, and he will not be evil in the future, so he can rest assured." If you have a bad heart, you will succeed in your cultivation in the future, but you will become a great evil, but it is not good. "Originally, I wanted to draw a fake picture, but I hypothesized that Si Tiantai had collected all the aura. Now, I will truthfully tell you where the spiritual veins are. ”

In the evening, the moon and stars were scarce, and the sound of crickets in the corner of the yard came far away. After dinner, Li Qingxuan meditated and practiced in his room. At the end of the day, I finally waited for someone to invite me. Pei Gelao's topographic map has been drawn.

"I heard that Li Langjun is going to leave tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Ge Lao handed over the letter and topographic map to Li Qingxuan, and said with a smile: "Why don't you stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few more days?" These days, the old man has fallen ill, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has been flustered so far, there must be many rudenesses, and now that the old man has woken up, he should also let them entertain them well, not to be lazy. ”

"The old man is kind and understands it. Li Qingxuan said: "It's just that the younger generation doesn't dare to covet pleasure, for fear of affecting the heart of seeking the truth." "Ever since he heard about the spiritual vein, he changed his mind and went to the spiritual vein instead of going to the Dao Gate Conference.

Pei Xiangye was slightly stunned, and said: "It is said that if you want to build a foundation and cultivate medicine, you must have the cultivation of true qi release, since Li Langjun has not yet built a foundation cultivation medicine, why should you be in such a hurry? It is better to practice quietly here, and when you reach the place where the true qi is released, and then go to the spiritual vein, not to mention, your line of work is to go to the Daomen Conference, and it is okay to stay in my mansion for a few days." ”

Li Qingxuan also thought the same way, first go to the Daomen Conference, and then go to the spiritual vein to build a foundation and cultivate medicine, and the intersection of Kanli, it must be just right. And if you go to build the foundation and cultivate medicine first, and then go to the Daomen Conference, presumably the Daomen Conference will be over. But Li Qingxuan still feels that everything is important to cultivation.
