Chapter 2 Nine Yin and Nine Yang

Kaifeng is rich in the world, has the reputation of "a city of Song Yun and half a city of water", and is a veritable northern water city.

The rivers and lakes here are longitudinal, the climate is mild, the transportation is convenient, and it was once the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is more grand in the layout of the city, the whole city is divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, the triple city, and the three moats.

The traffic in the city is compatible with land and water, and it is unimpeded. In terms of layout, the closed square system was broken, and it was replaced by a street form open to commercial and residential, and the integration of the square and the market was implemented, taking into account the dual pattern of residence and commerce.

In the spring of 1127 AD, the Jin soldiers broke through Bianjing, heralding the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

For the next ten years, Kaifeng was a key area for the Jin soldiers and the Southern Song Dynasty army, and the entire city was invaded by war, causing considerable damage.

The Southern Song Dynasty court organized many northern expeditions, among which Yue Fei's exploits were the most outstanding, he once recovered Luoyang and other places, and even shouted that he would go straight to the Huanglong Mansion and destroy the Jin State.

Yue Fei and Wanyan Wushu launched a fierce battle in Zhuxian Town, near Kaifeng, and Wanyan Wushu was defeated, so he had no choice but to give up Kaifeng and retreat to Hebei.

However, the first qiē ended in 1142 AD, the year Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei and other generals of the Northern Expedition on "trumped-up" charges, and negotiated peace with the Jin State, giving up the right to rule the Jiangbei region, in exchange for a remnant of life in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since then, Kaifeng has become an important military stronghold of the Jin State in the Central Plains, blocking several Northern Expedition campaigns after the Southern Song Dynasty, as long as Kaifeng is not lost, it will have no fatal impact on the Jin State.

Wan Yan Jing sent Wan Yan Honglie here to make him a barrier to protect the Jin Kingdom and keep the Southern Song Dynasty out of the country, but he didn't expect that the danger of the Jin Kingdom did not come from the south, but the fierce grassland wolf lurking in the north of the desert.

Yang Kang looked at this famous capital through the ages, thinking about the famous battles in history, and couldn't help but be a little leisurely fascinated.

When he was in Zhongdu, he checked the records of the imperial court, trying to find evidence that Qin Hui was a spy of the Jin State, but found nothing, of course, many of the records of the Jin State were deleted or beautified.

For example, the failure of Wanyan Wushu was described as a strategic retreat, Yue Fei was described as a murderous butcher, and so on, which was just a propaganda tactic.

Yang Kang knew that he would have to live in the city for the next few years, or even longer.

It's okay this way, when he was in Zhongdu, he was too eye-catching, and he had to participate in endless banquets, so he didn't have time to do what he wanted to do.

Wanyan Honglie lost the opportunity to inherit the throne, naturally no one paid attention to Yang Kang's whereabouts anymore, and the gap between a future prince and a future prince was definitely a world of difference.

No one came to please him anymore, no one smiled at him anymore, which did not make him feel lost, but a sense of relaxation, at least there was no need to force a smile, there was nothing wrong with living a real life.

When Yang Kang saw Mei Chaofeng, she was digging a hole, and when she went to the new palace, she wanted to dig a new hole, so that she could continue to practice, so he had to pick up a shovel to help Mei Chaofeng speed up the progress of digging the hole.

During this time, his relationship with Mei Chaofeng progressed rapidly, especially after he confirmed the scriptures stolen from the ancient tomb with Mei Chaofeng, and won the trust of this Aunt Mei.

As for the origin of the scriptures, Yang Kang explained that he had discovered them by accident in the manuscript written by Wang Chongyang in Chongyang Palace, and saw that some martial arts were similar to Aunt Mei's practice, so he copied them.

He borrowed the storage method of the "Jiuyang True Scripture".

"Jiuyang Sutra" is placed in the Shaolin Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion Dharma handbook "Lenga Sutra" in the cracks, so it is not surprising that "Jiuyin Sutra" was found in Wang Chongyang's manuscript.

Mei Chaofeng knew that the "Nine Yin True Scripture" was the martial arts secret book obtained by Wang Chongyang defeating the other four peerless masters when he was discussing the sword for the first time in Huashan, so it is understandable to find some martial arts in the true scripture in Wang Chongyang's manuscript.

She was a little strange that Wang Chongyang's manuscript should be an extremely precious thing to the Quanzhen Sect, how could a child be allowed to read it at will, but she was relieved when she thought about the identity of Yang Kang's little prince.

Maybe those Taoist priests didn't know that there were peerless martial arts in the manuscript, this child's luck was really good, thinking that she and Chen Xuanfeng risked death in order to steal the scriptures.

Since Yang Kang shared the true scriptures so generously, Mei Chaofeng felt that he couldn't hide his secrets, so he took out the piece of human skin that he had collected closely, anyway, the martial arts that Yang Kang just said covered most of the content of the next volume.

She is blind, she can't see the words on the human skin, she can only rely on groping to identify, these years can be described as extremely hard, at this time it is easy to find a person who can be trusted, so she wants to know the full content of the scriptures, in the past, Chen Xuanfeng never showed the scriptures to Mei Chaofeng.

In this way, Yang Kang was able to see the true face of the second volume of the true scripture, which shows that children have an innate advantage in gaining trust.

The work of digging the hole is over, the excavated soil needs to be slowly transported to the outside, the two people sit together to exchange martial arts experience, talking and returning to the internal strength, there is no internal strength foundation in the upper volume, the martial arts in the next volume is like water without a source, how to practice it feels awkward.

There are two ways to solve this bottleneck.

One is to find another kind of profound internal strength instead, Yang Kang thought of "Jiuyang True Scripture".

If the "Nine Yin True Scripture" integrates all the martial arts in the world, then the "Nine Yang True Scripture" integrates all the internal martial arts in the world.

But he is not sure whether the "Jiuyang Sutra" is in the Shaolin Temple, he remembers that the "Jiuyang Sutra" was created by a strange person, Wang Chongyang had the "Jiuyin Sutra" to the strange person to see, the strange man felt that the "Jiuyin Sutra" was too feminine after reading it, so he hid in the Shaolin Temple and began to write the "Jiuyang Sutra", and later hid the Sutra in the crack of the "Ranga Sutra".

Yang Kang doesn't know how many years it took that strange person to create "Jiuyang True Scripture", maybe that person hasn't finished the manuscript yet, and procrastination is an occupational disease for all writers.

The second way is naturally to find the first volume of the "Nine Yin True Scripture".

"The first book of the scriptures is with the master. Mei Chaofeng said lightly, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to get it." ”

This was the first time Mei Chaofeng mentioned Huang Yaoshi in front of Yang Kang.

At the beginning, she and Chen Xuanfeng stole the second volume of the true scripture, and after practicing, they felt that they couldn't practice, so they returned to Peach Blossom Island to steal the upper volume, but they didn't expect to see Huang Yaoshi and Zhou Botong fighting because of the true scripture, so scared that they escaped from Peach Blossom Island again, and never dared to go back.

Yang Kang calculated that Huang Rong should only be four or five years old at this time, and Huang Yaoshi, who is a full-time dad, must not have time to leave Peach Blossom Island to wander around.

However, he has already planned for this, but it is not yet time, and now it is better to try his luck at Shaolin Temple, anyway, Kaifeng Mansion is only two or three days away from Dengfeng County, where Shaolin Temple is located, and it is regarded as a spring outing.

Note: For the origin of the "Jiuyang True Scripture", please refer to the latest edition of "The Condor" or "Yitian", Mr. Jin Yong seems to be keen on revising his novels, and I can only make a helpless expression about this.
