Chapter VI Knowledge Accumulation

"Little prince, I didn't expect you to know a lot about Taoist allusions, which is very rare for children of your age. Qiu Chuji exclaimed.

"The disciple usually likes to look at the Taoist treasures, and has admired the sages of the Taoist family for a long time. Yang Kang said in a proper manner.

This is a conversation between the two of them after Qiu Chuji asked Yang Kang a few Taoist questions.

Since Yang Kang planned to cultivate the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he has done a lot of preparations, and if he wants to practice a martial art, he must first understand the secrets of martial arts.

This is not nonsense, but the truth.

To put it simply, in order to learn advanced internal strength, you must know where the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body are located, and the channels through which the true qi runs, which is just the most basic common sense.

Yang Kang hadn't seen the "Nine Yin True Scripture" yet, but he knew that it must be extremely difficult to understand, because the person who wrote this secret book was called Huang Shang.

Huang Shang is a civil official in the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong period, he was ordered to compile Taoist scriptures, called "Wanshou Daozang", this Taoist collection has more than 5,000 volumes, the workload is very large, Huang Shang is afraid of mistakes, so he proofread word by word, and slowly comprehended the profound martial arts.

This shows that Huang Shang is an extremely serious person, and the martial arts secrets written by such serious literati must be obscure, and they like to use metaphors to describe the phenomena that occur when practicing.

For example, if you really think that there are three flowers on the top of your head or five streams of air scurrying around in your body, then you are not far from tragedy.

Therefore, learning is a very important thing, it is difficult for an illiterate person to become a top master, unless he has a top master as a master, so Yang Kang has been doing the work of accumulating knowledge, and looking through the Daozang is one of them.

Think about it, if you go to the ancient tomb and find a bunch of incomprehensible words, you don't dare to take out this peerless magic skill to discuss with others, you can only slowly explore it yourself, then you don't know when and when you can become a martial arts master.

Yang Kang waited for Qiu Chuji to come, because he wanted him to teach himself the introductory kung fu, starting from the basics of martial arts, understanding the common sense of martial arts, and then learning the "Nine Yin True Scripture", which is a step-by-step process.

He guessed that after Wang Chongyang read the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he would definitely integrate some of the martial arts of the True Scripture with the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect, so it was not wrong to start practicing the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect first.

This is a good thing, but the classics of Confucianism and Buddhism should also be read more so that they can be impartial and just right. Qiu Chuji encouraged.

"Follow the Master's teachings. Yang Kang said respectfully.

This is related to the teachings of the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang advocated the unity of the three religions, and the teachings of the Quanzhen Religion drew on some of the ideas of Confucianism and Buddhism, with the Tao Te Ching, the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra and the Filial Piety as the main classics.

Such teachings were more easily accepted by the general public, and did not conflict with the Confucianism and Buddhism, which was the main reason why Quanzhen Buddhism was widely spread during the Jin and Yuan dynasties.

"For the teacher to teach you the basic method of breathing, you remember these few mantras, thinking is forgetful, body weakness is luck, heart death is alive, yang is yin disappearing. Qiu Chuji began to instruct Yang Kang on the method of breathing luck, "Before going to sleep, you must have a clear mind without a trace of thought. Then lie on his side, his snort lingers, his soul does not wander inward, and his mind does not swim out. ”

Yang Kang listened carefully, and asked questions when he didn't understand, tirelessly, this is not the time to pretend to understand, this is not the time to pretend to understand, this is related to his future martial arts path.

"Master, don't call the apprentice little prince anymore, let's call the apprentice Akang. After explaining, Yang Kang began to set up.

He knew that he could only be regarded as a supernumerary member of the Quanzhen Sect at present, and Qiu Chuji would not teach him the absolute knowledge of the Quanzhen Sect, and only by truly gaining Qiu Chuji's trust could he obtain greater benefits.

Qiu Chuji is still very satisfied with this apprentice, he also teaches disciples in the Quanzhen Sect, but he is not as smart as Yang Kang, not only has a strong ability to understand, but can get to the bottom of what he doesn't understand, this is a serious attitude.

"Master, I have heard for a long time that Chongyang Zhenren is a fairy-like figure, and I really want to go to Chongyang Palace to worship the priest ancestor, I wonder if there is such a blessing?" Yang Kang said tentatively with a look of reverence.

"There's no hurry, there's a chance. Qiu Chuji excused himself.

He has not yet reported the matter of accepting Yang Kang as an apprentice to the head of the sect Ma Jue, this matter can be big or small, if it is just for the competition with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan ten years later, then Yang Kang can only be regarded as the outer disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and the same status as Sun Buer's disciple Cheng Yaojia.

Outer disciples do not need to become monks, they can practice at home, without so many constraints, and of course they will not learn the true martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect.

If you value the identity of Yang Kang's little prince and regard him as a key investment object, then you must study it carefully, and at least hold a grand apprenticeship ceremony to let people know that the little prince of the Jin Kingdom believes in the Quanzhen Sect, which will expand the influence of the Quanzhen Sect.

He needs to go back to Zhongnanshan to discuss these things with a few senior brothers before making a decision, and for now, he just needs to teach Yang Kang some basic things.

Qiu Chuji didn't stay long in the middle capital, and left after half a month.

Wanyan Honglie was initially opposed to Yang Kang and Qiu Chu's martial arts, although the Quanzhen Sect had a close relationship with the Jin court, but its influence was too wide, and it was easy to cause discordant voices, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, the wave of Quanzhen Sect resistance to Jin never stopped.

Later, he thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity to establish a direct connection with the Quanzhen Sect, and perhaps to guide the Quanzhen Sect to be used by the Jin State, and the religion and the imperial court would always be combined with interests.

As the days passed, Yang Kang continued to practice according to the method of breathing and accepting taught by Qiu Chuji, and the same was true when he slept at night, although he did not have an obvious sense of qi, but his spirit during the day was much better, and he had a feeling of being full of energy, whether it was reading books or doing things, he would get twice the result with half the effort.

But what Yang Kang didn't know was that every night, when he was asleep, there was always a black shadow wandering outside the door.

Mei Chaofeng's cultivation of the "Nine Yin True Scriptures" went astray, and a large part of the reason was that she did not understand the content of the Taoist Xuanmen in the true scriptures, especially in the absence of the inner martial arts in the upper volume, which was completely blind practice.

She found that Yang Kang had changed a little bit recently, and when she greeted her, she was full of energy, which was a sign that she had practiced internal strength, so she paid attention to the conversation between the other slaves, and knew that the little prince had worshipped a master of the Quanzhen Sect as a teacher.

Qiu Chuji knew that she was a master of the Quanzhen Sect, and the name of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen was also well-known in the martial arts, which made Mei Chaofeng a little anxious, eager to know what kind of internal skills Yang Kang had learned.

She felt the need to talk to the troublesome bear kid.
