Chapter 19 Pyramid Schemes
Yue Buqun was overjoyed and stroked his forehead with his hand, sighing, "God has eyes." Lu Darttou asked puzzledly: "Real person, real person, is the internal strength of Mr. Cheng's dart head family very clever?"
Yue Buqun said for a long time, "Mr. Cheng's internal strength heart method was originally the superior internal strength heart method of the Quanzhen Sect, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a martial arts in the world that produced the true words, and you said that it was not high. My Huashan faction is the true lineage of Hao Datong, the seventh son of Quanzhen, and the original transmission was also this mental method, but unfortunately it was lost for some reason. The sects preached by the other six real people all became sects specializing in cultivation and preaching in the Yuan Dynasty, and they gradually drifted away from the rivers and lakes, and the internal strength and mental method had long been thrown away. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the various sects of the Quanzhen Sect had been suppressed by the Zhengyi Sect, and most of the martial arts had been lost, and there was nowhere to find them. ”
Lu Dart was overjoyed and asked, "Since the internal strength and mental method are superior, why is it difficult for the Cheng family to produce a first-class grandmaster in the past two hundred years?"
Yue Buqun said with a smile: "The whole heart method is the essence of Chongyang Zhenren's lifelong enlightenment and martial arts, and the wonderful method of Taoist cultivation of immortals and health preservation, how can ordinary people understand it." If you think that none of the hundreds of thousands of disciples of more than ten generations of the Quanzhen Sect have understood it thoroughly, you can imagine the mystery. ”
Lu Darttou was greatly frustrated and said: "No matter how good the internal strength is in the heart, it is still not a good practice if you can't practice it." It's a pity, hey! A real person is a pedantic man, with great compassion and great wisdom, I don't know if he can practice it? Why don't Lu go back and persuade the chief dart head to dedicate his family martial arts to the real person. ”
Yue Buqun nodded and said: "If Mr. Cheng is willing to pass on the Poor Dao's true heart method, the Poor Dao is willing to exchange the exercises of the Huashan Sect and let Mr. Cheng choose it." ”
Lu Darttou was also overjoyed, and said: "That dare is good, no matter how good the peerless exercises that can't be practiced, they are not as good as the first-class exercises that can be practiced." ”
Yue Buqun nodded in agreement, "As a gang, faction, and dart bureau, only the exercises that produce first-class grandmasters from generation to generation are good exercises, and peerless exercises can only be used as secret magic skills of the town faction, which can be expected." It's better to be down-to-earth. ”
Lu Darttou also nodded yes, and then asked, "I don't know what kind of exercise the disciple's jade girl skill is?"
Yue Buqun replied: "This jade girl skill is the sect where Yang Guo, the condor hero who killed the Mongolian Meng Ge Khan, at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the secret internal strength of the ancient tomb school, it should be a peerless and high-level martial arts, but the ancient tomb school's martial arts are extremely heavy and light on the body and martial arts moves, and do not emphasize internal force cultivation. Poor Dao looks at your average body, your moves have been greatly changed, and your heart is ...... I'm afraid it's hard to reproduce the magic skills of the past, but it's good to be able to practice to a first-class level. ”
Lu Darttou couldn't help but smile bitterly, one is the exercises that hundreds of thousands of people can't practice, and the other is the exercises that cut off the seven emotions and six desires, even if you learn it, what's the point of being a man. After that, Yue Buqun promised to bring Cheng Lu and the others into Huashan's sect on behalf of the teacher, but the Five Virtues Sect had just begun to preach, and it was difficult to let go, so he agreed to return to the Central Plains in the future, and then enter Huashan and perform the rite of apprenticeship.
At noon on the second day, the brigade approached Turpan City. The city wall of Turpan City is not high, only about four zhang, there are five miles long, three miles wide, the buildings in the city are different from those in the middle earth, there is an exotic style full of ancient flavor. It seems to be slightly better than the general county town in the northwest of the Central Plains, but it is far worse than the prefecture. Looking closely, it is far from being as beautiful as imagined, there are no orchards full of grapes outside the city, there are no mountains full of cattle and sheep, and there are no beautiful girls singing and dancing in the city. Some are just foreign people who are numb and skeletal-shaped, dressed in tatters, and rich aristocrats who are dressed luxuriously but viciously greedy, and of course, there are merchants who come from all directions.
The Central Plains merchants have a good temperament and sell normal things, while foreign merchants dare to sell anything, as long as they make money. What Yue Buqun was most unaccustomed to was the slave trading market, where groups of dirty, glazed-eyed, naked slaves were driven around and picked around like pigs. All of them are yellow-skinned, numb, and even the best actors of the 21st century can't play real slaves. Let Yue Buqun, who has life experience in later generations, feel a burst of heartache and empathize with the pain. What I have crossed is not a world of martial arts, but a real world. There are all kinds of people, not just in the martial arts world...... Fine.
Is it just to laugh at the rivers and lakes by crossing over by himself? No, it can't just be for martial arts, shouldn't you do something more important?
Yue Buqun realized what a wise decision he had made on a whim when he founded the Five Virtues Sect. As long as 10 people listen to their words and follow them, then the sight will be a little better. If a thousand people listen to their words and follow them, then Turpan City will be a little better. If 100,000 people listened...... , then the entire Western Regions will become a happy land in the era of feudal empires. But how do you preach the world? The ancients in China have long told people that the simplest and most effective method is pyramid schemes. One to ten, ten to hundred, hundreds to thousands, thousands and thousands...... All the way to the whole world.
After Yue Buqun and his party settled in the pavilion in the city, which specially housed foreign merchants, Yue Buqun began to arrange tasks. From the second day to the thirtieth day, at various crossroads in the city, they disseminated the contents of the scriptures according to the texts, telling a story, preaching a sermon, preaching a hundred pieces of natural knowledge, and proclaiming a thousand-character code of conduct for human conduct in the world. Each team also carried 100 small gifts for passers-by who were willing to hear the sermon. Each team also has a 20-person escort team, which mainly prevents and prevents other sects from causing trouble and sabotage. He stayed in the pavilion to study the Koran scriptures of Persian Protestantism, the largest sect in Turpan City, and continued to write more scriptures with Qinnu at the inn, and recalled everything in the afterlife, so as not to be left speechless.
In the middle of the night, the two masters of Lu and Qiu came to inform Yue Buqun of the important things he had forgotten, and the two had come into contact with the defender of Turpan City at this time, Hebule, through connections and bribes, and obtained the qualification to preach in the city. He also visited the leaders, presiding officers, and imams of the major sects in the city, and obtained their understanding. Aheimahan, who was originally planning to build a capital in Turpan City, is still fighting everywhere against the enemies of the Mahmu faction that followed. Yue Buqun was very grateful for the help of the two old elves, if he messed up by himself, maybe nothing would be accomplished. Therefore, he discussed with the second elder again the methods and steps of the mission, so as to make the missionary plan more perfect.
The second day soon arrived, and nine teams of two hundred and seven men departed. In the inn, Mo Huaerche was practicing his sword, the guards were standing guard, Bai Xiaoyun was grinding ink, Qin Nu was waiting, and Yue Buqun was pacing restlessly. Qin Nu saw Yue Buqun's uneasiness, took out the guqin, and played a song called "The Mantra of Pure Heart and Kindness."
The sound of the piano sounded gently, like a clear spring slowly flowing through his body, and slowly injected into his limbs, Yue Buqun's whole body felt relaxed, fluttering, and without half a force, it seemed to float up to the clouds, on top of the white clouds like cotton wool. Yue Buqun glanced at Qin Nu gratefully, Qin Nu pursed his lips and smiled, and the smile suddenly made Yue Buqun forget his troubles and sorrows. In fact, in the so-called Five Virtues Sect scriptures, what can be written is basically finished, and the rest are things that will stimulate the ruler, and they must not be written, at most they can add some strange things such as answering reporters' questions. If you really do what is written in the scriptures, you will be no different from a saint or a gentleman.
It's just that no one can really do it all, after all, everyone is selfish, and what can be done is also for a while, never for a lifetime. So if you have that spare time to worry, it is better to practice with the qin. Think about the song "Sky City" in later generations, which is also very ethereal, I don't know what will happen if you play it on the guqin?
I don't know if it was because the ancient people were very good at music, or because they had never been in contact with real musicians in later generations, I was very surprised that Qin Nu could play "Sky City" smoothly after listening to Yue Buqun's wordless song humming once. After playing it three times, Qinnu can be more affectionate and obsessive. Yue Buqun suddenly thought that when the major sects in the world preached, they all used music to coincide, and the effect increased by three points, and the Five Virtues Sect did not have a special music score.
Yue Buqun couldn't help but feel annoyed, he didn't expect preaching to be so troublesome, I'm afraid there will be more things to do in the future, which is not in line with the lifestyle of otaku at all. In the end, I still took the plunge and chose songs from memory, and chose more than 30 melody moving and ethereal tracks such as "City in the Sky", "Iceberg Snow Lotus", "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", "Prairie Pastoral" and "Stranded Heart" as the voice of the preaching. I also asked Lu and Qiu to help find some ancient musicians in Turpan City who know musical instruments and have good abilities.
By dusk, nearly 100 people were found one after another, all of whom used the ethnic instruments of the Western Regions, including playing Boer, Dongbula, Dafu, Rewafu, Dutar, Kaumuz, as well as Mongolian national musical instruments Matouqin, harmonica, Chaoer, shaman drums, Sihu, etc., all of which could open a large orchestra. Yue Buqun waved his hand, asked for it all, and discussed with Qinnu about the formation of a large music troupe.
The missionaries also came back one after another to report on their missions, each with hundreds of listeners, some of whom had forgotten their work, but it was a good start. On the third day, the missionaries continued to leave the mission, and Yue Buqun and Qinnu rehearsed the teaching song in the museum, Qinnu himself served as the conductor, and Yue Buqun acted as an interpreter to point out the mistakes of others.
When people are busy, time flies quickly, and the day passes again. The members of the troupe had a preliminary understanding of their respective roles in the troupe and played a few pieces smoothly. The performance of a large orchestra is extremely shocking, especially in the sparsely populated Western Regions, even the lords of the Western Regions have never heard of or seen it. Not to mention the ethereal repertoire, which makes the heart washed, so that it feels warm and satisfied, pure and holy, dreamy and beautiful. The peaceful and peaceful appearance of heaven and fairy world continues to emerge in the sound of music, making people yearn for beauty and peace.
The preaching still did not seem to progress, but the music made the people in the vicinity of the pavilion stop what they were doing, listen quietly, and have become loyal listeners. After a few more days, the good news finally came that the Five Virtues Church had a regular audience of several thousand people in Turpan, which made the missionaries speak with dry mouths and hoarse voices. Yue Buqun also asked some apologists with a strong cleverness and memory to join the missionary ranks and expand the scope of the mission in Turpan City. The situation has been moving in a good direction.
