Hearing Ma Yu say that he wanted to see another painting, Yang Guo hurriedly took out the second pair and unfolded it for Ma Yu to watch.

The left couplet of this pair is written "A hundred years of heaven and earth return to vitality", the right couplet is "unifying the balance of mountains and rivers", and the horizontal batch is "Guotai Min'an".

Ma Yu's face changed at a glance, thinking that now the Tartar army is pressing, the Great Song Dynasty court not only does not think about resisting the strong enemy, but also the internal strife continues, the wind of greed for ink is clear, the upper officials are rampant, and the low-level officials oppress the good, resulting in the corruption of the imperial court's discipline, so that the national strength that is already in the downward trend of the rivers and rivers is even more unprecedented.

After a long time, Ma Yu turned back to his thoughts and said in a heavy tone: "Guo'er, as a citizen of my Great Song Dynasty, you should have this idea of protecting the country and serving the people, your ancestor Yang Gong Zaixing General is a loyal man admired by everyone, you should follow the example of your ancestors and revive your Yang family!"

Yang Guo couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart when he heard this, and secretly blamed himself for being cheap, he had read so many couplets in his previous life, which one was not good to copy, why should he copy this sensitive one? Is it so easy to revive the Yang family's style? And that one to protect the country and the people, when did he have such a lofty idea? He was just a beggar for food, and now he is also an orphan without a father and mother, and it is his greatest wish to live well. Although he doesn't mind making more contributions to the people and the Great Song Dynasty within the scope of his ability, he never includes sacrificing his life for this.

He saw that Ma Yu was extremely serious and serious, and he didn't dare to say it explicitly, "Shi Bozu, you misunderstood, I just wrote it casually, what the Yang family style has to do with me", if this is said, the consequences will definitely be quite serious, so he can only nod at the moment, and reluctantly respond, thinking: "I promised to follow the ancestors of the Yang family, but I didn't say that I would definitely be able to do it." ”

Ma Yu got this couplet, his mood seemed extremely uneasy, and he said: "Your handwriting is a bit insulting to this good couplet, so let's write it again, and then paste it on the door." The Tong Ji skillfully brought a pen and paper, and Ma Yu re-transcribed the pair and handed it over to the two of them to paste outside.

After the couplet was busy, Ma Yu began to test Yang Guo's martial arts again as usual. In the past six months, Yang Guo often came to Houshan to ask Ma Yu for advice, not only the internal strength has improved rapidly, but also the way of attack and defense against the enemy is also the true inheritance of Ma Yu.

"Later, you will show Jin Yangong, and I will see if you have improved. When Ma Yu and Yang Guo practiced, they found that Yang Guo was sluggish and sluggish, so he passed this Jin Yan Gong to Yang Guo.

Yang Guo promised, a lucky body was already floating, jumped to a tree outside the zhangxu, toes on the trunk lightly, feet did not touch the ground and flew up, on the trunk along the branch galloping, to the branch when the branch, with the power of the branch rebound, in the air dexterously turned over, and then landed firmly in front of Ma Yu.

Ma Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You have already achieved the first stage of this Golden Goose Gong, as long as you practice diligently in the future, you will gradually improve, but there is nothing to teach you." Yang Guo has practiced this Golden Goose Gong for nearly half a year, and it is the first time he knows that the Golden Wild Goose Gong still has a stage division, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master Bozu, how many stages are there in this Golden Wild Goose Gong, and what are their skills?"

Ma Yu stroked his white beard with his left hand and said, "This Golden Goose Gong is passed down by your Chongyang Patriarch, and it is divided into three stages. The first stage is 'Spirit Ape Climbing Trees', after training, you can be like an ape, and climbing a mountain is like walking on the ground; the second stage is 'Flying Swallow Stepping on Branches', after training, you can be as light as a swallow, and stepping on snow as if there is no trace; this third stage is 'Golden Goose Peckering Clouds', after practice, you can be like a floating cloud, riding the wind and volleying in the air, which is more mysterious than the world's top 'ladder to the sky'. However, since your Chongyang Patriarch, this third stage has been cultivated by no one. ”

Yang Guo never thought that this Jin Yan Gong was so wonderful, and he imagined Wang Chongyang's immortal posture riding the wind and clouds in his mind, and his heart was very leisurely and fascinated, and he was envious, and he wanted to explore more, so he said: "Shi Bozu, I heard that Chongyang Patriarch has a junior brother who has not returned, I don't know which realm Uncle Tai has practiced this Jin Yan Gong to?"

Ma Yu heard Yang Guo ask, his face showed a little helplessness, and said: "That's your Uncle Zhou Taishi, who has a somewhat out-of-the-box temperament and likes to play outside, but kung fu is the true inheritance of your Chongyang Patriarch, and this Jin Yan Gong should have also been practiced to the realm of 'Feiyan stepping on branches'." However, if you want to take another step and reach the highest stage of 'Golden Goose Peking Clouds', you can't achieve it by diligent cultivation, although it is only a line apart, it is like water and moon in the mirror, and it is unattainable!"

Yang Guo was not discouraged, and asked with an expectant expression: "Then if you want to practice to the level of Uncle Zhou Taishi, how long will it take to practice?" Ma Yu heard this, and reprimanded with a smile: "You haven't learned to climb the road yet, you want to run fast? You can practice the first stage of the 'Spirit Ape Tree Climbing Tree' to the realm of Dacheng within ten years, which is already unique in our Quanzhen School, if you want to reach the level of your Zhou Taishi Uncle Ancestor, practice for another thirty years!"

Yang Guo was a little unconvinced, and said: "Since the Chongyang Patriarch can practice to the highest level, why can't I, Yang Guo? I prefer to surpass the Zhou Taishi Uncle in the shortest possible time, but also catch up with the Chongyang Patriarch!" Ma Yu praised: "You can have this confidence and courage, you have already achieved half of the success, and the road ahead is promising, work hard!"

Ma Yu and Yang Guo said a few more words, and then began to rush people, saying: "The winter days are short, and you can't walk the mountain road anymore when it's dark, if you have nothing to do, go back first." ”

Yang Guo looked at the sun, it was already relatively west, and said: "Guo'er said that he wanted to eat dumplings with you for the New Year, but now you haven't eaten any dumplings, how can you just leave? Ignoring Ma Yu's obstruction, he went down to the kitchen to cook the raw dumplings, put a bowl of them, and held them with his own hands for Ma Yu to taste.

Ma Yu's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled and ate a dumpling. Yang Guo gave up, saluted Ma Yu, and wanted to turn around and return. Ma Yu said: "When you return to the accommodation, maybe dinner time has passed, and there will be nowhere to find food after this meal." You've made so many dumplings, where can you finish them? You can take some with you. ”

According to Ma Yu's order, the boy packed two wooden boxes of cooked dumplings, wrapped them in a cloth, and handed them to Yang Guo. Yang Guo was not polite, took the package and strode out of the yard, leaving the way he came.

It took more than half an hour, Yang Guo returned to the front of Chongyang Palace, and when he was about to walk towards his wing, his eyes inadvertently glanced around, and suddenly his heart moved, and he couldn't help but change his attention and went in another direction.
