In the early morning of the next day, in the Lu family's mansion, a large-scale binary courtyard, two servants swept the floor and dusted briskly inside the courtyard gate.

This beautifully constructed and richly decorated courtyard is the residence of the second son, Lu Jingyuan.

In the courtyard where Lu Jingyuan lived, there was a giant mutton fat jade plane tree in the open field near the left side of the gate, and the jade plane tree was leafy and leafy, covering the small half of the front yard.

Whenever the snow is shaking in winter, the bluestone slabs are covered with three-inch plain snow thick clothes, only the big round open land under the canopy of the jade plane tree is clean and spacious, and Lu Jingyuan in his youth is always there to practice fist and foot tricks every morning, and there is an old man with white hair and a beard standing next to him, and the old man often has a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Dongxi is driving, the essence of heaven and earth is the most intense, and practicing martial arts can get twice the result with half the effort, don't slack off!"

"Martial arts practice, the state of mind is pure, sinking the sea dantian, luck is Zhoutian, often accompanied by seven seven forty-nine ......"

Lu Jingyuan listened to the old man's kind nagging, although he didn't understand, but he didn't dare to be vague about his hand and foot movements, and he had always practiced diligently.

I heard that the old man was a martial arts master invited by his father from Yunping Mountain, and the old man could penetrate the fist-thick stone slab with one finger, and his palm technique could turn into a gang qi to break a century-old tree in an instant, since the old man showed his skills in front of the young Lu Jingyuan, Lu Jingyuan was convinced of his kung fu.

The old man had preached to him.

"Lu Jingyuan, you remember that no matter how strong the martial arts kung fu is, it will eventually reach the bottleneck and it is extremely difficult to break through, although the martial arts practice has immediate effects, but it is not a long-term method, in this world, there is not only one way to martial arts. ”

"Taoism practices qi and cultivates truth, Confucianism reads righteousness, Buddhism transmits scriptures to save the world, all of them can achieve the great climate, can not be confined to martial arts, the world is so big that you can't imagine, this Yangzhou is just a partial peace after all, and when you grow up, you will naturally understand this river and lake, maybe I say more now is useless." ”

"Teacher, you said that martial arts monks can't achieve the great climate, so those monks of the Nine Realms of Martial Dao, and even the legendary Ten Realms of Martial Dao, aren't they the strongest and most powerful people in the world?"

"Ordinary martial arts monks practice all their lives but a martial arts seven realms and eight realms, those who can break through the shackles of heaven and practice into nine realms, ten realms that are demigod realms of geniuses practice martial arts is a deeper and farther form, the mysteries involved are difficult for ordinary people to touch, I also know very little, ordinary martial arts practice external strength fists and feet, swords, guns and sticks, pay attention to external kung fu to strengthen the torso, break through the norm but do not pay attention to the internal qi storage and breath cultivation, so ordinary people progress rapidly, there is an old folk saying "ten years of external gang, a hundred years of internal qi" This is not false. ”

"Those geniuses' martial arts are based on martial arts, and based on cultivating the mind, the people of the nine realms of martial arts are decisive in killing, the Taoist heart is stable, and they can bear the karma of killing. ”

"It's like wielding a sword is a martial artist, and the one who wields a sword is a qi practitioner, and the martial artist has nine realms on the threshold of the avenue, hammer bones, living blood, physical strength, breaking wind, broken stones, is the lower five realms, light Hong, golden soup, shaking the mountain, warding off evil spirits, and is the upper four realms. ”

"The lower five realms are also known as the replacement of bones and rebirth, the emphasis is on a strong physique, the physical potential at this time beyond ordinary people, the ordinary head of the nursing home, the martial arts knights are basically wandering in the lower five realms, whether the realm of broken stones can break through is the evidence of the first entrance court, the upper four realms, the light Hong realm can be glided by the wind, walking without a shadow, the body of the golden soup realm is like iron can condense a layer of gang qi outside the body, the mountain realm is infinitely strong, the power of a punch can destroy the cliff, and the evil realm has reached the demon and evil spirits, Dustless and clean, and the Taoist ancestral halls are all over the temples of the world. ”

"The difference between the cultivation of each of the four realms of each of the two realms is comparable to that of the clouds and the land, most of the palace deadpool guards are light Hong, and the powerful Nanmen Mink Temple in the Yan Zhao Dynasty is said to have entered the peak of the Golden Tang Realm five years ago, and the top masters of the Wuchen list who see the dragons on the rivers and lakes are at least a small success, as for the realm of warding off evil spirits, there are only dozens of people in ancient and modern times, and those who can meet and see with their own eyes are not idle people, the prototype of the avenue shapes the martial soul, and the body can be sealed as a god after withstanding the tempering of the heavenly calamity, which is the peak of martial arts practice. ”

Listening to what the old man said, Lu Jingyuan became more and more foggy, but in the depths of his mind, he gradually generated a vast scene of a martial god enemy sky......

Although he had never seen a Valkyrie.

"Martial arts, Shinto, the way of the martial gods......"

I don't know when there is a jade phoenix on the top of the jade sycamore in Lu Jingyuan's house, I heard that the ancestor did not have an extra phoenix statue when he spent 10,000 gold to build the jade sycamore here, and this phoenix statue appeared out of thin air on a certain day a year before Lu Jingyuan was born, and it seemed to be incapable of shaking a single point with the jade sycamore.

A maid once recounted that night a strange purple light was drawn in the northern sky, like a fireball the size of a bell and a tripod hit the Lu family's mansion like a broken bamboo, and the maid was so frightened that her soul flew away and fell under the stone steps in the backyard, knocked her head and fell asleep.

At dawn on the second day, the maid was awakened by a glow of light, the phoenix statue was shining and sacred, the head of the Lu Mansion was greatly surprised when he heard it, thinking that this was a vision of heaven and earth, and a few days later, he ordered the idle backyard of the jade sycamore to be renovated and repaired, and changed it into an elegant courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the Phoenix Mansion has since been introduced to the ears of the world.

And the fireball witnessed by the maid of Lu Mansion, a huge fireball wrapped in purple flames, came from the extreme northern ice field of the Great Zhou Kingdom, crossed hundreds of cities and thousands of mountains, and finally arrived at Yangzhou City in the central hinterland of Yandi...... As for the reason for this, it is a later story.

Lu Jingyuan has been getting up early every day since he returned to Yangzhou, and he always likes to practice boxing and martial arts in the early morning, dredge the meridians, he still thinks that he is still not strong enough, if his martial arts are high enough, he will not walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and the incident on the slope of Wuyi will not happen again that day.

After practicing for about an hour, someone behind him coughed slightly, and after Lu Jingyuan stopped his movements, he looked at it, and it turned out to be Yu Huai.

Yu Huai walked up with a smile on his face, "The second son's martial arts have made great progress, and compared with half a year ago, it can be described as a qualitative change. ”

"Hehe, but so-so, you can bluff people when you meet ordinary people, if you are a master, it is still not enough. ”

"Look at what the second prince said, how can there be so many masters of the Seven Realms and Eight Realms of Martial Arts on the rivers and lakes, and they are not ordinary people's cabbages. ”

"Haha, the metaphor of the old man is vivid, Chinese cabbage, if those high-level masters hear it, they will be angry and stamped. ”

"The second son has made a great gain from what he ordered the old slave last night. Yu Huai got closer and deliberately lowered his voice, so as not to be heard by others, and some things should not be said in the open.

"What happened?" Lu Jingyuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly became interested.

"Zheng Mansion Keqing Bai Yu made a move on the nameless swordsman, for an ancient sword. ”

"When?" Lu Jingyuan's eyes were over, he had a great killing intent towards Bai Yu.

"After the poetry meeting dispersed last night, it was on the street not far from the Jinlou. ”

"And then?" Lu Jingyuan forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and let his complexion return to normal.

"That Bai Yu almost killed the swordsman by some means, I watched the whole process in the dark, the two fought very excitingly, I rescued him at the last moment and repelled Bai Yu. ”

"Bai Yu is a meticulous person with a ruthless approach, if he lets him achieve the Great Dao one day, it will not be a good thing. Lu Jingyuan twisted the fine edelweiss floating with his fingers, and his eyes were obscure.

"Second son, it's better for me to get rid of him. Yu Huai followed behind Lu Jingyuan.

"No, now that Chen Xiu has gone on a long trip, you are the only one in the Lu Mansion who can deter one side, there is no shortage of masters in the Zheng Mansion, we are in the dark, and we should not do the thing of throwing rat traps. Lu Jingyuan pondered.

"What the second son said is reasonable, so don't care about Bai Yu's business?"

"Wait, wait for him to leak more horses, and then maybe we don't need to do anything, someone will clean him up. ”

"By the way, the second prince, I heard that the eldest prince and the third prince in the court are competing for the crown prince, and Marquis Zheng belongs to the line of the eldest prince, a few days ago, the household servant openly admonished the eldest prince in the court, or all this can be explained......"

"Don't tell anyone about these things, lest you bring trouble. Lu Jingyuan pinched Yu Huai's shoulder, and said with a vague look.

"By the way, how is the swordsman you saved, is he still alive?" Lu Jingyuan then remembered that the merry swordsman who was out of the limelight last night, enjoyed a night of romance alone, but almost died, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

"No problem. ”

"That's good, please come and sit down when you have time. With that, Lu Jingyuan strode out of the courtyard, and walked out of the door in a moment.
