As the winter just dawned and the weather became colder, in the Shanyin Courtyard on Wudang Mountain, every disciple wore simple new cotton clothes. In order to keep warm, Wu Zhifu went to the bottom of the mountain to play hundreds of catties of cotton, found an old tailor, and tailored new cotton clothes for the disciples in the courtyard one by one.

Their clothes are very elegant, and the left chest of each piece of clothing is embroidered with a word of the Tao, and there are three small characters under the road, which are the three characters of the Mountain Hidden Temple.

This is to distinguish it from the rest of the courtyards, there are a total of six such courtyards on Wudang Mountain, in addition to the Mountain Hidden Courtyard, there are also Xingdao Courtyard, Tianyi Courtyard, Diping Courtyard, Jingqing Courtyard, Feiyun Courtyard.

The six courtyards are located on different mountain peaks, do not disturb each other, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, there is rarely an intersection again. Many years ago, the six courtyards were still in the same spirit, but after experiencing the changes brought about by the Qing military order, the six courtyards were independent and developed in different directions.

Because of the reason of being closed, the mountain hidden temple is not self-reliant like the rest of the courtyards, but life has always been very poor. The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, the diet of the mountain hermitage for many years, also counting on the dozens of acres of land reclaimed on the mountain, and a clear spring in the mountain.

Although the days were hard, none of the hundreds of disciples of the Mountain Hidden Academy chose to leave, they have been guarding the Mountain Hidden Academy, except for the senior brother who was expelled from the sect many years ago, none of them have withdrawn.

Since the death of the old head of the fairy, according to the rules of the Mountain Hidden Academy, the senior brother Shi Youen should inherit the position of the head of the family, but before the old head died, he did not entrust the position of head to Shi Youen, but strengthened the idea of expelling Shi Youen from the school.

Shi Youen left, logically speaking, the position of head should be handed over to the second senior brother Wu Zhifu, but after dealing with the old head's funeral, Wu Zhifu did not inherit the position of head of the house, and the dust that belonged to the head of the house was also placed in front of the old head's spiritual seat, which was the same as the position of the head of the house, and it was empty there.

As for the reason, probably only Wu Zhifu, who is now in charge of the overall situation, knows, and the rest of the senior brothers, as well as many disciples, do not know.

A few months ago, two outsiders came to the Mountain Hidden Courtyard, Wu Zhifu and the senior brothers in the door, who rarely walked around the outside world, and they couldn't tell who they were from the accent, but the two were very enthusiastic, and as soon as they came, they said that they wanted to find someone to take care of here. The old head died, the senior brother was not there, and Wu Zhifu was naturally in charge.

At that time, Wu Zhifu stood up and asked about the intention, and the two of them respected Wu Zhifu very much, and exchanged all kinds of polite greetings, and finally gave Wu Zhifu a bank card directly, saying that he wanted to fund the construction of the Mountain Hidden Temple. Wu Zhifu didn't know what he meant, and asked many times, but he never said where he came from and which kind person made the donation.

The two finally dropped the bank card, told Wu Zhifu to accept it, and then left, before leaving, he also said that this is a person who has a lot to do with the Mountain Hidden Courtyard, he couldn't bear to see the Taoist priests of the Mountain Hidden Courtyard live a hard life, and specially sent the two of them to send charity, as for who it was, the two never said.

Wu Zhifu was very curious about this matter, but he also knew that with this money, the old houses in the courtyard could be repaired, and the lives of many disciples would be better, and their clothing, food, and housing would be greatly improved. At the second conference, Wu Zhifu told the disciples about this and told everyone to remember this parent, although it is not known who he is for the time being.

With this money, the disciples of the Mountain Hidden Academy lived a much happier life, and everyone's new cotton clothes after winter were also made with this money.

Although everyone was curious, they didn't know which good person they were, and they didn't even leave a name, let alone come to the pillar incense, but they didn't go to the bottom of the incense, and for those who cultivated, everything should not be forced.

After the death of the old master, under the leadership of Wu Zhifu, everything is going on step by step, and there is no stranding of homework because of the lack of the old master, but the weather inside the door gradually has signs of about to surpass the old master.

Wu Zhifu is different from the old master, after all, he is a young man who has received a modern education, and he will not choose the old-fashioned way to take charge of the Shanyin Academy, but refers to the routine of organizing and building teams in various companies on the market today to take care of the affairs of the door, pay attention to teaching according to his aptitude, discover the potential of the disciple in a certain aspect, and then focus on training.

In addition, Wu Zhifu also opened the library of the Mountain Hidden Temple, allowing all disciples to enter and read at will. You must know that in the past, in the library of the Mountain Hidden Academy, in addition to the old master, few other apprentices could enter, unless the old master personally took it in, no one could enter to study, even Wu Zhifu, before the old master died, he did not go in, until the old master died, he had the opportunity to enter to read.

Before Wu Zhifu entered the library for the first time, he knelt in front of the spiritual seat of the old master for a night to repent of his disrespect to his master. After Wu Zhifu entered, after reading the book for a few days, he made a decision, decided to set up new rules, open the door of the library, and let every disciple have the right to enter.

In fact, his idea is very simple, in order for the Mountain Hidden Temple to continue to survive in this era and continue to pass it on, the only way to let all disciples come into contact with the core content of the Mountain Hidden Temple. This core content is the library of the Sankuin Temple.

Legend has it that the first head of the Shanyin Academy was founded in Wudang Mountain, and he was a Taoist friend who had practiced with Zhang Sanfeng, and the two were also teachers and friends, and had a great relationship. And the head of the first person who founded the Shanyin Monastery was not as creative as Zhang Sanfeng, but went down the mountain alone, ran away for ten years, and traveled all over the north and south, and after coming back, he also chose to retreat like Zhang Sanfeng.

But this person is in retreat, not to devote himself to the study of new martial arts like Zhang Sanfeng, but to memorize and record the martial arts specialties, advantages, and disadvantages of all the sects he has visited in the past ten years of going to the world. This man was in retreat for ten years, and he wrote nearly 10,000 books on all the martial arts he had learned in the past ten years, from advantages to disadvantages.

Later, he set a rule that among the disciples of the Mountain Hidden Academy, only the head of the sect and those promised by the head of the house could enter the library, and the rest of the disciples were never allowed to enter without the permission of the head of the house. This rule is the most important thing in the mountain, and since then, the mountain-hidden temple has existed in the world, ups and downs, enduring, and this library that belongs to the mountain-hidden temple can only be entered by every head, but it is a forbidden place for the rest of the disciples.

But now Wu Zhifu's practice of opening the library is undoubtedly a great disrespect to the ancestors and ancestors, but he still blames himself and completes the first reform policy after he took over the Shanyin Academy. Although he is not the head, he has done what all the heads of the past generations have never done and dare not do.

After the door of the library was opened, Wu Zhifu set the rules for morning reading, starting at four o'clock in the morning and ending at six o'clock every day, allowing ten disciples to enter the library to read, only ten disciples were allowed to enter the library one day, and then ten other disciples were allowed to enter the library the next day, and so on, until all the disciples had entered again, and continued to start from the beginning, and so on, day after day. And only ten disciples can enter at a time, because the library is narrow, and it can't accept too many people at once.

After the morning reading of this day, Wu Zhifu watched today's ten disciples come out of the library, and then he closed the door of the library and directed the ten disciples to go to the kitchen.

This is the second rule set by Wu Zhifu, the ten disciples who go to the library to study every day must be responsible for the three meals a day for the rest of the disciples, not only to cook for the brothers who are not studying, but also to go to the field to take care of the crops, fill the water tank, sweep the floor up and down the mountain hidden courtyard, and wash the clothes of the brothers and sisters.

In Wu Zhifu's words, this is a combination of work and rest, and after reading the book, you have to do some trivial housework in life, so that you can better absorb it.

After the ten disciples left the library, it was six o'clock, and by the time the breakfast of the hundreds of people was ready, it was already eight o'clock.

In the cafeteria of the Mountain Hidden Temple, dozens of old wooden tables and hundreds of dilapidated benches were neatly arranged, and all the disciples were sitting precariously, waiting for the meal to start. The ten disciples who had read books and went to cook served food to everyone table by table.

Wu Zhifu sat at the door, he was the only one at the table, and everyone else, whether it was a disciple or a brother of the same generation, came to sit with him.

It's not that others don't want to sit with him, it's because everyone knows that the table where Wu Zhifu is sitting was used exclusively by him, the old master, and the senior brother Shi Youen.

Now that decades have passed, only Shi Youen will sit here for three meals a day, and the other two, one of them died and the other escaped.

Breakfast is very simple, porridge with steamed bread and vegetables, the diet of Shanyin Courtyard is very simple, it has always been so, even if there are good people who kindly donate a huge amount of money, Wu Zhifu is not extravagant and wasteful, just occasionally improve some for everyone, or continue the style of the past on weekdays.

Wu Zhifu didn't eat fast, chewed slowly, and every time he finished eating and was about to leave, the ten disciples had already begun to clean up.

After Wu Zhifu finished breakfast today, he did not leave immediately, but helped the ten disciples to start cleaning up together. Today's ten disciples who are studying Wu Zhifu are very appreciative, they are in the Shanyin Courtyard, after Wu Zhifu and Shi Youen's generation, the youngest generation, the ten most intelligent disciples, when the old head was alive, he was very optimistic about these ten disciples, and now that the old head has passed away, Wu Zhifu is also very optimistic about these ten disciples after taking charge.

When cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, several people saw that Wu Zhifu was not leaving, and they were helping to clean up, and they all called out politely, "Uncle Wu." Wu Zhifu smiled and nodded to everyone, holding a few bowls in his hands, and asked everyone about their reading experience today.

One of the disciples entered the library for the first time, and he said with excitement and Wu Zhifu, "It turns out that our library includes the representative martial arts of all the sects in the world, and records their advantages and disadvantages, and conducts a detailed analysis and explanation, our ancestor of the Mountain Hidden Academy, is really amazing!"

Wu Zhifu looked at this disciple and said, "Yes, our ancestor is very powerful, although he is not a self-created martial artist, but after familiarizing himself with the collection of books in the Mountain Hidden Academy, how can there be any martial arts in the world that cannot be broken?"

Ten disciples nodded in agreement with Wu Zhifu's words, and the first disciple to speak nodded and said, "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, our ancestor probably knew this, so he traveled through all the sects and wrote so many books with his heart." ”

Wu Zhifu looked at him with a smile, nodded, and said, "Our Mountain Hidden Academy's Siping Technique, Thirty-six Flying Flower Sword Technique, Sword Control Duel, and Qinglian Sword Technique are actually all read from these books, have you found it?"

The ten disciples shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know, but the disciple was interested and said happily, "Uncle Shi, tell me about it." ”

Wu Zhifu put the few bowls in his hand into the sink, washed his hands and said, "The sword control duel is derived from the imperial technique of the Qimen Dunjia lineage. Although it is not difficult for a master to enter the martial arts, it is very difficult to be handy. Qimen Dunjia's imperial skills are first-class in the world, and the sword control of our Mountain Hidden Courtyard is actually the second head of the Mountain Hidden Academy, and after reading the book of the ancestor, he realized it. ”

"There are also thirty-six types of flying flower swordsmanship, in fact, it is taken from Shaolin's one hundred and eight style Luohan boxing, Luohan boxing is extremely strong, and those with deep internal strength can move mountains and seas, but the thirty-six types of flying flower swordsmanship, but take the thirty-six straight punches, horizontal fists and hook fists in Luohan boxing, and evolved into swordsmanship. ”

Qinglian swordsmanship is also the head of the past dynasties from the book to read, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet who practiced swordsmanship, a life of uninhibited, wrote countless masterpieces, the beautiful poems written by the mouth of the mouth, passed down from generation to generation, he wrote his swordsmanship, all into the poem. In addition to this habit, everyone has also developed the habit of writing down after encountering a good feeling. ”

"We have here a collection of the poet's poems, which has been stored for many years, and the heads of the past generations will read it carefully, because our heads are rarely born, but from the poems of this poet, it seems that we can read all kinds of life, when we are proud, when we are homesick, when we are lost, all the moods are in his poems, so every generation of heads will read his poems. ”

Wu Zhifu paused, turned off the faucet with one hand, and the disciple who asked the question earlier urged, "Uncle Wu, go on, don't stop." ”

Wu Zhifu turned around and picked up the rag, regardless of whether it was clean or not, he wiped his hands directly, and continued: "Over time, everyone became interested in this poet who practiced swords, and every time they read his poems, they felt excited, and then they wrote down their experiences. ”

Later, in our old generation, from his poems, combined with the experience recorded by the previous generations, I realized this set of Qinglian swordsmanship. ”

"Now you know, why is the Qinglian swordsmanship, after it is used, there will be countless uninhibited and comfortable and graceful, right?" Wu Zhifu looked at the ten disciples with a smile and said, "This is all read from that person's poems, so this set of Qinglian swordsmanship created by our old master will also carry the same uninhibited and comfortable style as that poet." ”

The ten disciples looked like this, and the disciple nodded, "No wonder, no wonder when the master was still in the past, he always told us that if we want to practice swords, we should read poetry first, and romance comes from poetry, and domineering also comes from poetry." ”

Wu Zhifu raised his cleaned hand, touched the disciple's head, nodded and smiled, "Yes, what Master said is very right, now I let you go to the library to study, I don't know if Master will blame me." ”

"Uncle Shi is all for the sake of the Mountain Hidden Academy and us, Master in the Heavenly Spirit will definitely not blame you, it's too late for him to praise you. ”

Wu Zhifu raised his head and laughed twice, poked the disciple's nose, and said, "Just what you say." ”

"Hehe, Master told me when he was alive, say Uncle Wu, you..." The disciple was halfway through his words, and suddenly covered his mouth and stopped talking.

Wu Zhifu looked over and asked, "Why don't you say it?" ”

The disciple shook his head, covered his mouth and said, "The master didn't let me say it, he specially instructed me." ”

During the period before the old master's death, this disciple had been serving his diet and daily life, and until the night before the old master's death, this disciple still slept in front of the old master's window.

During that time, the little Taoist priest served the old Taoist, and the old Taoist priest was happy with the little Taoist, and the old man and the young man slowly talked more, and the old master said a lot to the disciple, but the old master later specially told the disciple not to talk nonsense.

Wu Zhifu frowned and looked at this disciple, and wondered in his heart, why didn't he say it, what did this mean?

"yes... Shigong said that this was his secret, and he was not allowed to tell it... I can't say until someone becomes the head of the sect one day..."This disciple regretted that he had just talked too much, and he accidentally almost missed his mouth, but now what he said revealed some information.

Wu Zhifu thought for a while, looked at his disciple and said, "No wonder in the last period of time when the master left, as long as you went to serve, I said that I would find another disciple to replace you, and he would not allow it, it seems that the master arranged a lot of things for you?"

The disciple scratched his head and looked at Wu Zhifu embarrassedly, he saw Wu Zhifu frowning, he thought he was angry, so he was worried at the moment, afraid that Uncle Wu would get angry and punish him again.

So the disciple said sincerely, "Uncle Wu, Master and I are just chatting... Actually, it's nothing..."
