Chapter 59
There are a large number of books in the Xiaoyaoguan, some of which are the martial arts of the sect collected by Xiaoyaozi, and some of the books are miscellaneous classics such as medical astrology. Except for the martial arts of the Xiaoyao faction itself, the rest of the scholars can be browsed at will.
Ding Yu went to look through those martial arts cheats with great interest at the beginning, but was disappointed to find that most of them were cheats of some small and medium-sized sects, and there was no level of Shaolin seventy-two stunts.
However, these cheats can be included in Xiaoyaozi, and they all have their advantages, such as a silent knife technique, which is made silent by a unique way of luck, and the disadvantage is that the strength is not strong, and the knife speed is slow, but it is still quite convenient to use it for sneak attacks or night battles.
Although Ding Yu is not short of cheats now, and he won't practice those martial arts after seeing them, it can be used to expand his thinking, and occasionally see clever tricks and simulate battles in his mind, which is also a kind of fun in itself.
In addition, Xiaoyaozi once spoke, let him tell the boy if he needed anything, Ding Yu naturally would not be polite to Xiaoyaozi, a big tyrant, hundreds of years of ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos, He Shou Wu and other drugs to buy hard, and then turned into a dose of decoction to replenish vitality, and then transformed into a rapidly growing internal force cultivation.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Ding Yu also reads some books on medicine and feng shui every day. The former is to review the past and learn the new, and the latter is to facilitate the search for the leylines and heaven and earth spiritual objects in the future. It's just that the study of feng shui is too difficult, and if there is no one to guide him, Ding Yu can only understand three or four percent, and he doesn't know if he understands it correctly, but anyway, he can sense aura, and he doesn't care too much about this.
During this period of time, Ding Yu finally saw Xiaoyaozi's status in the Song family. He goes in and out of the forbidden palace every day like his own house, after all, he doesn't stay in the palace at night, he will always look back before closing the city gate, otherwise such an old handsome guy is always hanging in the palace, and Ding Yu has to worry about the hat of the old Zhao family.
Occasionally, when Xiaoyaozi does not enter the palace, two brothers will come to look for him in Xiaoyaoguan, these two brothers are richly dressed, and they are dark and fat, although both of them look very easy-going, but the smaller one always feels a little yin. That brother was very kind, and every time he saw Xiaoyaozi's disciples and Ding Yu, he would smile and say with a Yannan and Zhaobei accent: "Little boy, little girl, little girl, eat!"
Later, Ding Yu learned that this big black fat man with a kind smile was actually the current Zhao Song official family, Zhao Kuangyin! And the smaller black fat man was naturally the future Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi.
On this day, the two brothers of the Zhao family came to the temple to look for Xiaoyaozi again, but this time, the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before, and soon after the three of them entered the main hall, they wore Xiaoyaozi's exclamation: "What? He's dead!" After that, the three seemed to lower their voices and were arguing about something. It didn't take long for the Zhao brothers to push the door and leave, Zhao Kuangyin was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Guangyi was indignant.
After the two of them came, Xiaoyaozi also stepped out of the main hall. His three disciples had already heard the commotion, and gathered outside the hall and asked, "Master, what's bothering you?"
Xiaoyaozi shook his head lightly, did not answer, but glanced at Ding Yu, who was practicing martial arts in the atrium, with a mixed expression, and shouted: "Little monk, can you take a break?" He didn't wait for Ding Yu to answer, turned around and walked slowly towards the back mountain.
The three disciples of Xiaoyaozi looked at each other and wanted to follow, but they heard Xiaoyaozi say: "You don't have to follow, it has nothing to do with you at this time, only the little monk knows some heels." ”
Ding Yu didn't know why, but he still chased after him.
The two walked one after the other, and walked to the top of the back mountain. Xiaoyaozi turned his hands behind his back, looked at Kaifeng City from afar, and said for a long time: "King Zheng is dead. ”
"King Zheng?" Ding Yu was stunned for a moment before remembering, "You mean King Zheng Chai Zhongxun?"
"Exactly. ”
Ding Yu was about to ask which King Zheng was, but immediately remembered that the stand-in of King Zheng had died in the Battle of Hewan that day, so the one who died now could only be the real Chai Zhongxun. But it shouldn't be, he remembered that Xiaoyaozi once said that the reason why the Empress Dowager Zhou was willing to take King Zheng's stand-in to flee with Murong Longcheng and others was to get the list of those old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty who had rebels. Once the list is in hand, Zhao Kuangyin will reunite their mother and son. Then how could King Zheng suddenly die? Could it be that Murong Longcheng was not angry that he was betrayed by the Empress Dowager Zhou, so he assassinated King Zheng?
Ding Yu couldn't help but ask, "Did Murong Longcheng do it?"
Xiaoyaozi shook his head and sighed: "It's not Murong Longcheng, it's the official family!" Maybe it was the idea of King Jin (Zhao Guangyi), but if the official family doesn't nod, King Zheng will never die." ”
Although Ding Yu and Chai Zhongxun did not know each other, they had finally rushed to rescue him before, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the news of his death: "Why did the official family kill him? Is the list fake?"
Xiaoyaozi's voice was both indignant and disappointed: "The list is not false at all!" But the official family is still not at ease, he said that the appeal of the title of Hou Zhou orthodoxy is too strong, and he does not dare to take it lightly. This time it was more than a dozen old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the next time it might be dozens. Instead of passively coping with it again and again, it is better to take advantage of the calm like today to cut off the troubles - bullshit!"
Ding Yutou heard that the always personable Xiaoyaozi was so excited, only to hear him continue to say angrily: "Yes! Those who achieve great things are not informal, and they do not hesitate to be benevolent in the world! However, if it is decided today, the troublemakers will be removed, just for a trumped threat, and even a young son cannot be tolerated, so how can this be the amount of a human king!"
Ding Yu was still speechless, but Xiaoyaozi didn't need any response, he seemed to be just looking for an audience who knew what had happened. He paused for a long time, and then spoke again: "Back then, the strategy of replacing the real with the false and inviting the gentleman into the urn was originally the handiwork of the poor Dao, and I thought that the temporary separation of a mother and son could be exchanged for the long-term peace of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, I personally promised the Empress Dowager Zhou, and on the day the list was in hand, they would be reunited with their mother and son safely. Unexpectedly, it ended like this in the end, and I was ashamed of my poor way!"
"After I was successful in martial arts, I traveled the world with my teacher and met the official family in Huashan. Master said that if I want to be truly free, I need to go through the experience of Hongchen, so that I can follow the official family and experience all kinds of calamities in the mortal dust. Now that I think about it, I was lost in my heart by Hongchen. If there really is a great road in the world, and the poor road has gradually drifted away, perhaps, it is time to turn back!"
Ding Yu finally understood, it seemed that Xiaoyaozi was upset because Zhao Kuangyin killed Chai Zhongxun, and he asked, "I don't know where I want to go?"
Xiaoyaozi shook his head and said: "Poor Dao has no idea for a while, nothing more than traveling around the world and being at peace with what happens." What does the little monk have to offer?"
Ding Yuxin said: Could it be that Xiaoyaozi passed through the Langhuan Jade Cave and the Ethereal Peak of the Tianshan Mountains during this trip, so his disciples chose these two places to gain a foothold in the future?
He suddenly thought, if I suggest Xiaoyaozi to take the opposite route, will there be Langhuan Jade Cave and Tianshan Tong Grandma in the future?
So Ding Yu said: "I have heard that there are traces of immortals in Changbai Mountain in eastern Liaodong, if you can find them, maybe you can spy on the steps of the predecessors to become enlightened." (To be continued.) )
