Chapter 8: The Journey to the South

Two months later, at the beginning of autumn, Qiu Chuji returned to the Central Capital City again, and this time he was going to take Yang Kang back to the Quanzhen Sect.

Quanzhen Sect Master Ma Jue was a little hesitant after knowing Yang Kang's identity, he was not as optimistic as Qiu Chuji, a few years ago he saw a doctor for Wan Yan Jing, the emperor of the Jin State, and knew that Wan Yan Jing's physical condition was not good, at most only about ten years, once Wan Yan Jing died, the future of the Jin State was worrying.

The Jin State seems to be strong at present, but there are some foreign strong and middle-class cadres, not only foreign relatives interfere in politics, but the various factions in the DPRK and China are also fighting endlessly, these ministers no longer think about how to expand the territory, but only think about fighting for power and profit, which is a harbinger of the decline of a dynasty.

From a long-term point of view, it is a bit risky for the Quanzhen Sect to accept a little prince of the Jin Kingdom as an apprentice in a high-profile manner, and once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, it will be difficult to get rid of the relationship between the Quanzhen Sect and the Jin Kingdom.

Ma Jue is an old and respectful person, he agreed to Qiu Chuji's acceptance of Yang Kang as an apprentice, after all, Yang Kang himself is a Han man, and he is still loyal and good, but there is no need to make a big publicity, as long as he comes to Chongyang Palace to worship his ancestors.

Yang Kang is a descendant of Yang Zaixing, a famous anti-Jin general, but now he has become the little prince of the Jin Kingdom.

This matter was originally not in a hurry, Yang Kang could come to the Quanzhen Sect whenever he wanted, it was just a formality, but Qiu Chuji was very anxious, he knew that the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan had found Guo Jing a year ago, which showed that Guo Jing had been studying martial arts for a year.

Qiu Chuji didn't know Guo Jing's martial arts progress, but there were seven people in the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, and he was only one person, and each of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters had their own mastery, so the disciples taught in this way must be super masters who combined the seven kinds of mastery.

If Yang Kang wants to win in the competition in the Drunken Immortal Building ten years later, he must seize the time to practice and not lose at the starting line.

Qiu Chuji is ready to give Yang Kang an intensive education, but time is the biggest obstacle.

The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan have nothing to do, they can teach Guo Jing martial arts every day, the seven of them teach one person for a day, they can come in turns, and there are six to guide on the side, but Qiu Chuji is entangled in affairs and is very busy, Yang Kang, as the little prince of Jin Kingdom, also has a lot to learn, and it is impossible to follow Qiu Chuji at any time.

In this way, they don't have much time to get along with their master and apprentice, and as Yang Kang grows up, he has to gradually participate in the government affairs of the Jin Dynasty and learn the strategies of governing the country, and there is no time to learn martial arts.

This is the reason why Qiu Chuji is anxious.

He wanted to hurry up and lay a good foundation for Yang Kang, besides, he really liked this disciple, and felt that Yang Kang was a good seedling for learning martial arts, and it was a pity to waste it.

Of course, if Qiu Chuji knew Guo Jing's true state at the moment, he would not be so anxious, and he would be glad that he had accepted a smart disciple.

Yang Kang's long-awaited opportunity finally came, and Qiu took him to live in Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain for three months, during which he carried out closed martial arts training.

Although Yang Kang was happy, he complained a little about this point in time, when he arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, it should be winter, Chongyang Temple was on the top of Zhongnan Mountain, and it was very cold in winter, which would affect his plan to enter the ancient tomb.

There are two ways to enter the tomb.

One is to follow the practice of his son Yang Guo, fall off the cliff, hoping that someone from the ancient tomb will save him, and then pretend to be pitiful and ask for sympathy, and take the opportunity to sneak into the ancient tomb.

Another way is to find the cave leading to the ancient tomb and dive in, this method is okay in summer, but in winter the ice is biting, Yang Kang doesn't like winter swimming.

Bao Xiwan was very worried about Yang Kang's second trip, but she understood that her son was getting older and older, and he would leave her more and more often, so he always had to get used to it, so she didn't obstruct it.

On this day, the autumn was crisp, and a Taoist priest walked out of the middle capital with a child.

Yes, they did.

Qiu Chuji plans to spend the time on the road to learn martial arts, walking can practice light body kung fu, but also can exercise a warrior's perseverance, he saw that Yang Kang was born in the palace, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure hardship, so he has to hone his heart.

At first, Yang Kang thought that Qiu Chuji was joking, there are thousands of miles from Zhongdu to Zhongnan Mountain, and it takes more than ten hours to take the train, and if you walk, don't walk for a month or two.

In this era, the means of transportation are basically horses and donkeys, and the speed of the donkey is not to be talked about, how fast can a horse run?

When the imperial court transmits urgent documents, there will be "800 miles expedited" and "600 miles expedited", which means that a horse can run 600 to 800 miles a day, of course, there are also legendary thousands of miles of horses, which run 1,000 miles a day, which is a special case after all.

It takes about 10 days to ride a horse at a normal speed, and about half a month to ride a carriage, and it is ...... to walk

Yang Kang complained in his heart, but he didn't show it, but looked excited.

Part of this is pretended, and part of it is sincere, and he feels a sense of relief and freedom when he leaves the middle capital this time.

He got rid of his identity as the little prince of Jin Guo, and got out of the control of Wan Yan Honglie, and he could do some of the things he had always wanted to do.

The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.

This may be Yang Kang's mood at this time, but what he doesn't know is that Wanyan Honglie is still paying attention to him, and at Bao Xiweak's request, Wanyan Honglie sent Peng Lianhu, who had just returned, out to secretly protect Yang Kang's safety.

He also put Yelu Chucai outside to Jingzhao Mansion as a fellow governor, and Jingzhao Mansion was the Xi'an of the later generations, near Zhongnan Mountain.

This idea was already had by Wanyan Honglie, Yelu Chucai was a bit condescending to be Yang Kang's master, of course, he didn't want Yelu Chucai to influence Yang Kang's idea too much, so he sent Yelu Chucai to the local area for a year or two, and when he returned to the central capital, he could enter the center of the imperial court and become his right-hand man.

As for the location of the assignment, it doesn't matter, since Yang Kang went to Zhongnan Mountain, then Yelu Chucai will go to Jingzhao Mansion, and once something happens, it will be good to take care of it.

After these arrangements, Yan Honglie did not tell Yang Kang, while Yang Kang was paying attention to him, he was also paying attention to Yang Kang, and he was a little unable to see through this son.

Yang Kang walked with Qiu Chuji for a day, and he endured no complaints, they walked more than fifty miles, which was already rare for a seven-year-old child.

However, Qiu Chuji was not satisfied, Taoist martial arts can be practiced when eating, sleeping, and walking, and he taught Yang Kang not to have distracting thoughts when walking, and if luck is in the whole body, there will be no feeling of fatigue.

Yang Kang has been practicing the art of breathing for more than two months, and he can feel the air flow in his body, and he feels that his body is light and fluttering, his waist is not sore, his legs are not painful, and he has the strength to walk.

Is this the legendary internal strength? It's really magical.
