Chapter 11: Calm down

Zhongnan Mountain, Quanzhen Sect, Library Pavilion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In a spacious and bright separate cabin, Li Zhihao was wearing a cyan robe and holding a Tao Te Ching, reading carefully, this is a very old looking book, the cover is faintly falling, and the three big characters of 'Tao Te Ching' on it are blurred.

It is this Tao Te Ching Li Zhihao has read it more than 100 times this year, turning the pages of the book, it is densely filled with some of his annotations and opinions, and now every time he reads it, he also feels that he has gained a lot, which is very beneficial to his own cultivation and martial arts, this is the charm of the classics. There are not many books in this world that can be regarded as classics, and there are only less than ten, so isn't it a kind of happiness to be able to read the classics of the sages quietly in this place where no one disturbs?

The most Li Zhihao did this year was not to practice martial arts, but to study books quietly in this library and in this hut. His internal strength has now risen steadily, reaching the peak of the acquired fourfold, and he is faintly about to break through the fivefold of the day after tomorrow. The martial arts passed on by Qiu Chuji are now familiar, although they can't be fully integrated, but they have all been practiced to a small level, the I Ching Forging Bone Chapter in the Nine Yin Fragments, the Destroying Divine Claw (also called the Nine Yin Divine Claw or the Nine Yin White Bone Claw), the secret of solving the acupoint, the secret of holding the breath, the Dafa of Soul Transfer, and the Great Demon Fist. They have all practiced to a small success, and the rest is the water grinding work, the most important thing is that his background is too shallow, these kung fu are all Taoist kung fu, I don't understand the true meaning of Taoism, how can I practice to a great success.

A year ago, Li Zhihao's internal strength was rising steadily, but his kung fu was making slow progress, and he was also very confused and anxious. Because he also practiced martial arts as usual, and was even more diligent than usual, but his progress was getting slower and slower, and even later he didn't make any progress at all.

Li Zhihao was anxious, he didn't know the reason, it happened that Qiu Chuji was staying in the Quanzhen Sect at that time, and he didn't run around and act chivalrous. Li Zhihao went to ask Qiu Chuji, "Master, the disciple's kung fu has not been improving during this period of time, and there is a faint feeling of estrangement when used for a while and smooth for a while. The disciple didn't know anything about himself, so he came to ask the master to solve his doubts. Li Zhihao asked anxiously.

"Can there be any progress in internal strength?" Qiu Chuji stroked the snow-white beard on his chest.

"The internal force is not affected, which is the feeling of disobedience in the martial arts moves. The disciple was puzzled. Li Zhihao stared at Qiu Chuji's face with his eyes open, a little uneasy, and was afraid that he would also show a puzzled look on Qiu Chuji's face.

Qiu Chuji saw that Li Zhihao's nerves were tense, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he said directly: "You don't have a deep understanding of the Tao, and now your spirit is lost, this teacher can't help you, only you can find a way out by yourself." Seeing that Li Zhihao was a little frustrated and disappointed, he said, "Go to the Scripture Pavilion, there will be the answer you want." ”

After speaking, let Li Zhihao leave.

The sun is shining high and the sun is shining. Li Zhihao walked dejectedly, but he felt that today's sun was particularly dazzling, and the scorching sun was more like laughing at him, and he was very depressed.

Passing by the square, Zhao Zhijing and his fat apprentice Lu Qingdu were teaching the little Taoist priests to practice the Quanzhen swordsmanship, and the sharp-eyed Lu Qingdu saw Li Zhihao coming, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Zhijing, and said, "Master, look, it's Li Zhihao." ”

Zhao Zhijing followed Lu Qingdu's pointing and saw Li Zhihao, thinking to himself, Li Zhihao's martial arts talent is amazing, and he is a martial arts idiot, he has never heard of openly competing for the position of the next head of the sect, if he is good friends with him and allows him to support him, then the position of head of the sect is not something in his pocket.

Zhao Zhijing greeted Li Zhihao, with a smile that he thought was kind, and said: "Senior brother, I am finally out of the customs today, I am afraid that the martial arts have advanced greatly, right? Senior brother, I have a few old ginseng there for my junior brother to practice." ”

Zhao Zhijing would never have thought that Li Zhihao was puzzled by martial arts, and he was still a little puzzled after listening to Qiu Chuji's words, so he went to the library pavilion, and when he arrived here, he met Zhao Zhijing. Originally, Li Zhihao had a bad impression of Zhao Zhijing, but after listening to Zhao Zhijing's words and seeing Zhao Zhijing's face, he felt that Zhao Zhijing was laughing at himself.

Li Zhihao shouted angrily: "Get out, don't bother me." Ignoring Zhao Zhijing's iron-blue face, he walked towards the library pavilion by himself.

Zhao Zhijing really suffered an unwarranted disaster, he was originally a sinister and good-faced person, and now he was slapped in the face in front of all the disciples, and he was even more angry. He clenched his fists, his face pale, like a volcano about to erupt.

Just as he was about to explode, the fat Taoist Lu Qingdu pulled down his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Master, no, I don't know how much he has improved in martial arts, don't be reckless." ”

Zhao Zhijing heard that his disciple also refuted his face, he was furious, he just wanted to slap it, and then thought about it, the last time he suffered a big loss in the hands of Li Zhihao, and now it has been a while, and his martial arts have not improved much compared to before, but Li Zhihao is a genius, I am afraid that he will suffer.

He put his hand down lightly and sighed, his face a little lonely.

Lu Qingdu saw that Zhao Zhijing's confidence was not there, and his ambition was shattered, thinking that if Zhao Zhijing was allowed to go on like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of himself, and he would offend a lot of people on weekdays. Then he said: "Master, we can't do anything about him now, but it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so Li Zhihao can still be beautiful, where is there no bad luck in this life?"

"That's right, it's still Qing Du for the sake of the teacher, Li Zhihao, I don't believe that you will have no worries in your life......" A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Zhijing's mouth, and two vicious lights seemed to burst out from his eyes.

......

Li Zhihao arrived at the door of the main hall of the Library Pavilion, and a lacquered plaque with three big characters on it, 'Zangjing Pavilion', reflected the light under the sunlight.

When I entered the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I saw rows of bookshelves full of books, including records of medicine, martial arts, and Taoism...... There are Taoist, Confucian, Legalist, and Mohist ...... and other books are in the collection.

Li Zhihao walked directly to the place of Taoist books, took a copy of the Tao Te Ching and went to the independent quiet room hut next to it, flipping through it randomly.

But I don't want to look at it like a demon, I am fascinated, and I look at it all day, and I seem to have an understanding. Li Zhihao somewhat understood Qiu's words, and in the next few days, he calmed down and studied the Daozang carefully.

More than a year has passed quietly, Li Zhihao has almost all visited the Taoist Tibet, and he has gained a lot, and the whole person exudes a dusty atmosphere, ignoring his age, I am afraid that he will say that he is a Taoist master.

Reading books in this year, Li Zhihao is more like a Taoist priest, with a dusty temperament, which makes people feel good at a glance and is difficult to dislike.

Those kung fu have gradually begun to improve, and after a year of precipitation, Li Zhihao's foundation is more solid, although there is no big improvement, but Li Zhihao has a faint feeling that his strength is afraid that he can easily defeat himself a year ago, or only use the same internal force.

The problem of martial arts was solved, and Li Zhihao's heart wanted to get out of the Quanzhen Sect and see the world.
