Chapter 33 Asking is like a long night
Kong Men and his party turned back to the inn from the street, and before Luo Shen returned to the guest room, he was called by Kong Zhi. Although the injuries he suffered were no longer in serious condition, he still needed to recuperate. But the boss called him, and he had to go in.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Kong Zhi "kneel" in a loud voice!
Luo Shen was afraid when he heard this, so he said that the master wanted to blame him for killing people, so he obediently knelt aside.
"How did you kill Du Men's Tian Wangye? Although you have good qualifications, when it comes to martial arts cultivation, you are not his opponent after all. Kong Zhi's tone was still sharp, especially the two seemingly dim but very penetrating gazes.
Luo Shen only glanced at it, and then his heart was terrified. Since he was a child, he has regarded Kong as a master and a father, and he didn't dare to lie, so he had to tell the biggest secret in his heart.
It turned out that a year ago, after Luo Shen was once again ridiculed by his senior brothers, he walked to the back mountain alone. He was attracted by a beautiful mountain rabbit and chased all the way down to the cliff near the back mountain. This is also a half forbidden place of Kongmen, but because of the steep terrain, wild trees, poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions are everywhere, it is very dangerous.
Sure enough, Luo was forced off the cliff by a big snake. Fortunately, the broken wall was covered with rattans, and in the middle of the crisis, Luo Shu grabbed the rattan and stopped the downward trend, but it happened to stop at the mouth of a cave.
Luo was curious, and his courage became stronger, and he entered the cave. Although there are some rotten salaries and waste wood, bad tables and old stools, it is full of cobwebs and dust, and no one has lived in it for at least ten years.
Luo Shen groped around, but found a text on the wall of this cave, which read: "Zhu Mou stayed in Confucianism to learn the first four layers of the heart of "Like a Long Night", so as to wait for those who are destined to succeed me in the mantle." ”
Luo Shen had never heard of such martial arts as "Like a Long Night" in the world, and he was suspicious. He looked down further, and there were four layers of the heart formula, and the opening sentence was "Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity is like a long night!"
Luo said sadly, "This sentence mentions Old Master Confucius, could it be that this mastery is lost by Confucius?"
He looked at the heart again, and the words were extremely simple, and each word seemed to be incomparably profound. Fortunately, he has read some scriptures and history, and he understands them roughly. What this heart says is the most holy and virtuous, the most noble and noble, but after all, it will be reduced to a dark night.
Luo Shen only said that he was the person who was destined, so he kept this secret in his heart. Later, he was not at ease, so he scraped the handwriting on the stone wall with stones.
In the past year, Luo Sheng has worked hard secretly to practice this "Like a Long Night" to the third level. Even so, this exercise was too domineering, and he still couldn't control it.
After hearing this, Kong Zhi was startled at first, stood up and said, "Like a long night!" and then sat down again, thinking deeply.
"Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, eternity is like a long night" This sentence comes from the mouth of Yang Xiong of Shu County in the late Western Han Dynasty. People all over the world are only known for their rhetoric, and they take Sima Xiangru as an example. But I don't know if Yangxiong is still a descendant of Confucianism, and he admires the Confucian sage the most.
During the Western Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhongshu "deposed the hundred schools", the hundred schools withered away, and Confucianism was dominant. But Yang Xiong spoke out indignantly in this difficult era: "Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity is like a long night!"
When Yang Xiong returned to his hometown in Shu County in his later years, he rested in a building on Shu Road. He lamented the difficulty of Shu Dao, just like this world, so he inscribed this pair of words on the wall of this building, which still exists today.
Later, during Yangxiong's seclusion in Ziyun Pavilion, he painstakingly studied the way of Confucius and Mencius, and finally blessed his soul and realized the great virtue. He poked himself in the eyes and created this "Like a Long Night" miracle. However, with Yangxiong's death, this "Like a Long Night" also disappeared.
But I don't want to, Yangxiong has a scholar called "considerable". Although Ke Ke is a scholar, he is talented and intelligent, and his martial arts talent is extremely high. He was originally around Yangxiong, and he already had a lot of Confucian roots. Yang Xiong created his own "Like a Long Night", which is considerable, and he even realized seven or eight points of the true meaning of it, but he did not inherit it all after all. But he is extremely talented, and he has studied for decades, and finally created his own "Like a Long Night" on the basis of Yangxiong's part.
It's a pity that after Yangxiong's death, his heart was not strong, he broke away from the track of Confucianism, and also stepped into the road of Confucianism. As a result, the considerable "Like a Long Night" was secretly passed down as Confucian esoteric science. But after a few hundred years, it has long disappeared from the rivers and lakes.
Confucianism's "Like the Long Night" naturally no longer exists, but now Confucianism's "Like the Long Night" has reappeared. This is naturally the gospel of Confucianism, especially his Confucius.
Although Kong Zhi had never seen "Like a Long Night", he had heard of its prestige, which was unparalleled in the world. Kong Zhi naturally knew that Confucius had always been a descendant of the Kong family, but he never knew that Confucius had such a unique knowledge. He simply didn't want to go down, and waited until he returned to Nishan to find out. Although, Luo Shen erased those handwritings.
It's just a pity that, according to Luo Shen, this "Like a Long Night" only has the remnants of the first four layers. But these four layers of remnants are enough, enough to make Luo Shen a leader of the younger generation and the hope of his Kongmen.
Kong Zhi did not punish Luo's injury, but also treated his injury, gave him a few nourishing pills, and let him go back to his room to rest. After Luo Shen left, Kong Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know whether to sigh or be relieved.
After Luo came out, he saw Senior Sister Zhuo Tao from a distance. He was about to go back to the room, but he heard Zhuo Tao shouting, "Senior Brother Luo, go slowly." ”
Luo Shu stopped, not knowing why. When Zhuo Tao caught up, he asked, "Senior Sister Zhuo, what are you calling me for?"
Zhuo Tao showed concern on his face, mixed with a hint of crimson, and asked, "Are you seriously injured?"
Luo Shen saw his senior sister like this, but it was a scenery that he had not encountered in ten years. He was already out of his mind, and said, "No...... Out of the way......"
Zhuo Tao took out a thing from his arms, but it was a sachet. The sachet does not embroider mandarin duck spectrum, and Tilian, nor embroiders beauty pictures, heroic deeds, and a single prick out of a pink peach blossom, plain and elegant, gorgeous and half. She said: "Here are some healing medicines that I have saved, and I don't need them, so I'll give them to you." ”
When Luo Shen heard this, he was really flattered. For a long time, the senior brothers and sisters would only tease him, even if it was Senior Sister Zhuo Tao, they just didn't bully him. Now that Senior Sister Zhuo Tao actually sent him medicine, she still used the sachet she made herself, how could he not be surprised?
Luo Shen wanted to be humble and resigned, but he was afraid that Zhuo Tao would really take it back, so he took it in his hand with a cheeky face and said: "Senior sister's gift of medicine, junior brother will never forget it......"
Seeing that he was so at a loss, Zhuo Tao laughed out loud: "Okay, you saved us today and gave Kong Men a breath, this is as it should be." Go back and recuperate. ”
With that, Zhuo Tao turned around and left, leaving Luo Shen alone to stop and reminisce. He said in his heart, "Senior sister's kindness to me this time is the martial arts strength I have shown today. In the future, I must practice martial arts diligently and not let her down. ”
Chu Jiangkai, Ling Shuangzheng, and Yue Xuanqiu rushed to Juancheng in the middle of the night. Chu Jiangkai arranged a place for the two of them to live, and then went to see Shang Junchang alone.
Chu Jiangkai had a long conversation with Shang Jun late at night, and he didn't know the essentials, so he planned to familiarize himself with the situation in Juancheng first. So when he got up early this morning, he planned to go out for a walk. It's just that he hadn't traveled far from the Shuaifu, and he was stopped by someone.
"Chu Daxia, where are you going so early?"
Chu Jiangkai stopped in front of her, and Yue Xuanqiu was standing there with a smile. Today, she has a new white dress, which looks particularly bright in the early sun.
Chu Jiangkai didn't know why she was waiting for her here, and he didn't know what she wanted to do. However, his impression of Yue Xuanqiu was not bad, so he replied: "I'll go around the city to see if I can find some clues about each faction." ”
Yue Xuanqiu let out a long "oh", pretending to be like this, and nodded in one more move. Chu Jiangkai looked at her serious and pretentious look, and felt a little cute.
"Well, then I'll go with you, I'm more familiar with the various sects, and I should be able to help you. Sure enough, Yue Xuanqiu did a good job and said his purpose.
Chu Jiangkai looked at the corners of her determined mouth, and only nodded lightly in agreement, and then he walked straight away. Yue Xuanqiu was happy for a while, retracted the smile on his face, and then quickly followed.
If it had been before, Chu Jiang would not have agreed to such a request from a person, especially a woman. He was used to acting alone. But this time he agreed, and even he didn't understand why he would agree to the girl following. So he found this reason, "I am really not familiar with the affairs of various sects. ”
The two were walking side by side, and two black-clothed young men came in front of them, and Chu Jiangkai didn't care after taking a look. But when the two of them got closer and closer, until they were only a few steps away from him, Chu Jiangkai felt a murderous aura.
Chu Jiangkai hurriedly pushed Yue Xuanqiu aside, and at the same time, the two black-clothed young men each stabbed a knife, directly approaching Chu Jiangkai's vital point. Although it was a sudden attack at close range, Chu Jiangkai just waved his hand lightly, wanting to take down the two short knives. But when he was about to touch the handle of the knife, it was not only two knives that caught his eye, but also two hidden weapons!
Chu Jiangkai was extremely dangerous at this time, and he underestimated the other party's means. His right hand was too late to retract, but he still used his left hand, which he was not good at, to draw the sword. Two hidden weapons, two knives, and two people, before the tip of the hidden weapon grazed his clothes, they were broken in two!
At the same time, Chu Jiangkai heard the wind behind him and knew that there was also someone behind him who had sent a secret weapon - this was a trifecta of cooperation. But he wasn't worried, because the secret weapon couldn't hurt him.
And Yue Xuanqiu, who was on the side, reacted at this time, she also heard this sharp sound of breaking the sky, and knew that someone had sent a hidden weapon behind her. She saw that Chu Jiang hadn't returned at the beginning, as if she didn't know, so she became anxious. She didn't have time to speak, she had already drawn her sword to block the hidden weapon for Chu Jiangkai. With a "clanging bell", the hidden weapon fell to the ground, and it was a quenching bone-piercing nail.
A stone fell to the ground in Yue Xuanqiu's heart, and she and Chu Jiangkai looked at each other and smiled. But the smile changed suddenly, one became bleak, the other stiff. Yue Xuanqiu's face turned pale, mixed with black qi, and then slowly fell. Chu Jiang picked her up, only to see that Yue Xuanqiu had a quenched bone nail on his shoulder, and black blood was leaving on the wound.
It turned out that the hidden weapon was a double shot, and the two hidden weapons in the front and back followed one after another and hit the two of them, which was already a very clever secret weapon technique.
Chu Jiangkai wanted to force poison for her, but Yue Xuanqiu shook his head weakly and said, "It's useless, it's the Tang Sect." ”
