When Yang Guo returned to Lujiazhuang, it was already evening, and the heroes were eating in the hall and talking loudly. Since tomorrow's hero's feast is about to be officially held, the wine on the dinner table tonight is only moderate, but the food is very rich.

He looked around, but didn't see Guo Fu and the Wu brothers. I don't know if they went back to their rooms to rest, or if they found something fun to play again.

Guo Jing was entertaining guests, and when he saw Yang Guo coming in, he called him over.

"Come and sit with me tomorrow in the main hall, and I'll ask your aunt to reserve a place for you. Guo Jing said: "This heroic banquet was held to resist Mongolia and protect the Song Dynasty, which is of great significance. You can see more and listen more, it will be good for you. ”

"Yes, uncle. Yang Guo agreed, and then asked, "I don't know how my uncle and aunt have discussed, how are you going to deal with the Golden Wheel National Teacher?"

Guo Jing said: "Huodu and Darba are easy to deal with, but the Golden Wheel National Teacher, I don't know what their reality is. But if you think about it with me, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. ”

"Then if my uncle is injured......" Yang Guo couldn't help but say.

"It doesn't matter. Guo Jing said: "If it weren't for your notice, we would be defenseless, and it might be difficult for us to protect Xiangyang City." But now the heroes are here, as long as I don't die, Xiangyang City can't be broken. ”

Although his tone was flat when he said this, there was a strong sense of confidence in the blandness. This kind of self-confidence not only comes from the wisdom and strength of the Central Plains martial arts, but also has the brilliant confidence forged by a hundred victories since the commander of the army.

Yang Guo thought to himself: "Also, after Guo Jing was injured in the original book. The Golden Wheel National Master dared to enter the city at night to assassinate because the heroes had dispersed after the hero's feast. Only Zhu Ziliu and others, who were close to each other, were left to resist desperately. The situation is very different now, and this should not happen again. ”

Bidding farewell to Guo Jing, Yang Guo returned to the room. After practicing the dog-beating stick method several times, he routinely practiced internal strength. By the time the Jiuyang True Scripture reached the third volume, the progress had obviously slowed down significantly, and it was even more difficult to practice. But the more this is the case, the more calm and calm his heart becomes, not arrogant or impatient.

Greed for merit is a taboo when practicing internal strength. If the mood is uneven, when you are practicing, you will also be prone to all kinds of demons. However, these difficulties that have plagued martial arts practitioners for a long time have been easily overcome in Yang Guo's body. The heart of the Quanzhen Sect is grand and upright, the heart of the Tomb Sect is as clear as water, and there is a cold jade bed to help collect the heart and gather the spirit, the combination of the three can make the heart demonic, and all evils will not invade.

Generally speaking. Internal strength Yu is superior, and the requirements for practitioners in terms of talent and understanding are harsh, and they are often achieved only by chance. Zhang Wuji and Jueyuan were able to practice the "Jiuyang True Scripture", one because of "not seeking", and the other because of "not seeking".

But if you don't ask for it, you can't do anything.

Zhang Wuji and Jueyuan can "do nothing", but they are not on the right path.

What is positive?

Not surprising. It is not coincidental, it is not partial, it is not evil, it is positive.

Whether it is practicing martial arts, participating in Buddhism or cultivating the Tao, there should be a word "seeking".

It's a long way to go. I will go up and down and seek.

No matter which superior exercise, its founder was at the time of the creation of the exercise. There must be a "seek". If it is "not seeking" or "not seeking", how can this exercise be created?

Participating in the Buddha has a Buddha heart, and cultivating the Tao has a Taoist heart. Whether it is the mind of the Buddha or the mind of the Dao, it is not to ignore or avoid calamity, but to point directly to the original mind and surrender to calamity.

That's the way to go.

Therefore, the root of practicing superior internal strength does not lie in "not seeking" or "not seeking", but in the state of mind.

If you can control your state of mind, you can't afford illusions and demons, and it's okay to "ask for something".

He knows that Shaolin Temple's "Yijin Sutra" does not need to have the idea of practicing martial arts when practicing, but if there is no idea of practicing martial arts, how can he practice martial arts?

Isn't that ridiculous?

He had never been able to figure out this problem before, and it was not until Jiuyang's internal strength was completed that he gradually realized that it was not that he did not have the idea of practicing martial arts, but that he could have this thought before practicing, but he needed to cut off this thought when he practiced.

This is also the so-called realm of Buddhism that can break through the "self-appearance" and "human appearance".

Yang Guo crossed his knees and practiced his internal skills for two hours, and then lay down on the bed.

In the past three years, with the help of the cold jade bed, he has been able to achieve that after leaving the cold jade bed, the internal force can still run naturally at all times. At this time, he was lying on the bed, and the internal force in his body was running around his body in accordance with the practice of the Jiuyang True Sutra, while his mind was thinking about the green-shirted guest in the White Sun Restaurant.

If what he expected was right, that green-shirted guest was probably Cheng Ying. Of course, this world is so big, it is normal to have another woman wearing a mask, not necessarily only Cheng Ying.

If it was really Cheng Ying, then she must be looking for her cousin Lu Wushuang. Yang Guo thought: "Lu Wushuang is also a poor woman, who lost her parents since she was a child, and suffered at the hands of her enemies. Now that I've done my work, I'm going to get her out as soon as possible. ”

He couldn't help but think back to the scenes of the few days he spent with Lu Wushuang, thinking that if he appeared in front of her, would he scare her?

The next day, the main hall, front hall, back hall, wing hall, and flower hall of Lujiazhuang were full of banquets, and there were crowds of people everywhere, almost full.

So far, the heroes and heroes from all walks of life who have come with hero posts have basically arrived, but there are also quite a few people in the rivers and lakes who have not been invited. Thousands of people gathered in Lujiazhuang, which was spectacular. Fortunately, the Lu family has a big business, and as long as someone arrives, they can immediately add a seat, and they will not leave anyone out in the cold.

In the afternoon, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Lu and his wife, Lu Youjiao, Zhu Ziliu, Dian Cangyuyin, Hao Datong and others walked into the main hall and sat down as the guest of honor.

Yang Guo was instructed by Guo Jing and sat next to him. Guo Fu and the Wu brothers, on the contrary, sat farther away and were at the bottom.

Lu Youjiao walked to the middle of the hall and said loudly: "Some of you here today are invited by our gang, and some are not invited to come on their own initiative. Either way, it's all about trust and love for our gang. Lu has no thanks, and now he has a glass of water and wine, saluting all the heroes and heroes, everyone has made this glass!"

When Lu Youjiao took over the position of the leader of the beggar gang, many people watched the ceremony, and naturally they would give face and respect, and said: "Lu Gang Master is polite, your gang has helped us a lot, since we are invited this time, we naturally want to come!" "Who doesn't know the name of your gang's loyalty, we are invited, it is our honor!"

Lu Youjiao drank the wine, and after the heroes also drank the wine, he said: "Our gang obeys the orders of the old gang leader Hong, and the people of the gang are fighting to the death to resist the enemy and resist foreign invasion. Now the Mongolian Tartars are committing my Great Song River and mountains, and among the ten rooms, ** is free. However, when the courtiers were cowardly and the military program was undisciplined, it was really difficult to save the people from fire and water. This time I invite all the heroes to gather here, so that we want to form an alliance against Mongolia and Baosong at the time of this survival, and everyone will work together to kill the enemy and drive out the Tartars!"

"That's a good idea, I agree!"

"We're all bloody men, we should kill a few more Tartars!"

"I've always wanted to kill those Mongol barbarians, now it's fine!"

Lu Youjiao saw that everyone's emotions were high and responded enthusiastically, so he continued: "But as the saying goes, 'the country can't be without a king for a day, and the snake can't be without a head for a day', if we want to make some achievements, we can't have ambition and pride, but we also need to have a respected and respected alliance leader to lead us, everyone advances and retreats together, lives and dies together, so that we can kill the Tartars!"

The heroes agreed to the promise and shouted one after another: "Then choose the old gang leader Hong, with his old man as the leader of the alliance, we are all convinced!" "We all admire the chivalry of the old gang leader Hong, who else can be more qualified to be the leader of this alliance than his old man?"

While everyone was in a hurry, Zhuang Ding hurriedly came to report: "A group of Mongolians came over, saying that they were going to participate in the hero's banquet. ”

The heroes couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, "How can someone come over?"

Guo Jing and Huang Rong glanced at each other, then stood up and said, "Heroes, wait a while, I'll go and greet you." ”

Guo Jing and Lu Guanying, as the hosts, all walked out and went to the door to greet them.

When Guo Jing arrived at the gate, he saw two teams of Mongolian warriors lining up on both sides in a fan shape, protecting the seven people in the middle, and couldn't help but glance at them carefully.

Among them, the noble prince holding a folding fan and the monk with a thin face were recognized by Guo Jing at a glance, it was Prince Huodu and Darba who had a relationship with him in Chongyang Palace.

In the middle of Hodu and Darba was a tall and thin monk in a red robe, holding a golden wheel. Guo Jing thought of the name of "Golden Wheel National Teacher", and secretly thought to himself: "This should be Huo Du and Darba's master, Golden Wheel National Teacher." ”

He was about to look at the other four again, but Huo Du had already taken a step forward and arched his hand and said, "Guo Daxia, Huang Gang Leader, we were not invited to come today, and there are many abruptness. However, the Hero's Banquet is a martial arts event, we don't want to miss it, so we have to come with a cheeky face, and I hope the two of you don't be surprised!"

Guo Jing said: "It doesn't matter, our banquet is held to protect the Song Dynasty and resist Mongolia, as long as you are interested in this, no matter who you are, you can come to the banquet." ”

Huo Du said: "Let's not talk about this for the time being, I'll give you an introduction first." ”

He turned around and said to the red-robed monk, "Master, these two are the famous Guo Jing Guo Daxia and Mrs. Guo Huang Gang Leader in the Central Plains. He said to Guo Jing and Huang Rong: "This is the master below, the Mongolian holy monk Jinlun National Master." ”

Guo Jing nodded and said, "You are a guest from afar, please come in and drink a glass of water and wine." ”

Guo Jing and Jinlun Guoshi and others returned to the main hall, Yang Guo looked at it, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked in his heart, thinking: "Huang Rong is going to have a headache now." ”
