At this time, the expression on the face of the silent monk became more severe, and he said with a clear eye: "Now that the old man has told you the most important news, you must keep in mind: 'First, if you can get two objects in the academy and the ancient tomb, then the keys to open these two objects are respectively the passwords designed according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram and the Heluo Diagram, and the rules for combining the passwords are related to the testament of your Xie family, and according to your uncle, this edict has been handed over to you for safekeeping. ”

"Uncle Shi is right, not long after my father died, my uncle had handed over the Xie family's testament to the apprentice for safekeeping, and as the descendant of the Xie family, the apprentice must abide by the testament!" Xie Jingxi said.

The silent monk continued: "Second, take out the cheats, if you want to understand the content of the cheats, there must be two conditions, that is, the descendants of the Xie family have the middle hall to try the top three, at the same time, there are wars in the frontier or the evil forces in the rivers and lakes, political circles have a big threat to the safety of the martial arts, there are these two prerequisites, you Xie and Wang descendants can use the cheats, if these two conditions are not met, you Xie and Wang descendants use the cheats without authorization, that is a disloyal and unfilial person, and it will be regarded as being removed from the family." ”

"Please rest assured, the apprentice must wait for these two conditions to be met before he can use the cheats, if the apprentice does not encounter these two conditions in his lifetime, the apprentice will definitely ask the next generation to abide by this teaching, in fact, requiring these two conditions to use the cheats, and the Xie family's testament is very closely related, loyalty and filial piety is the true character of a man, the apprentice must abide by the family testament!" Xie Jingxi said.

The Silent High Monk continued: "Third, after getting the cheats. It should be noted that the secret book has a dual content, the first layer is written a military book, which expounds the wonderful formation of sending troops to the formation, and this military book is studied by military generals or people who already have martial arts skills; the second layer is written is a set of martial arts practice methods, and those who want to practice this martial arts must have both a profound martial arts foundation and the basic cultivation of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhist scriptures. It's going to go crazy. In the end, you will be crazy or stupid or killed!"

Xie Jingxi thought to himself: "It seems that the martial arts in this secret book are extraordinary, and at the same time, it is necessary to have a martial arts foundation and scripture cultivation, and it is necessary to have both civil and military skills to practice this martial arts, which I have never heard of before." Usually. Martial arts training is all about learning and practicing at the same time. Some martial arts are even required to remove other martial arts that were originally learned before learning and practicing, but this martial arts requires a foundation in martial arts. Presumably, this is a set of superior exercises that are very compatible with other martial arts. ”

The silent monk raised his voice and said to Xie Jingxi: "Now, Lao Wei has told you the secret passed down by his senior brother, you are already the inheritor of the Xie family's secret, you must remember what I said to you above, you must not violate the teachings of your ancestors, and you must not violate the teachings of your Xie family, otherwise, the friends of the Xie family and the Wang family in the martial arts will attack you in groups, until you are disqualified as the inheritor of the secret book, Lao Qu in the name of your father and your master, requires you to fulfill your responsibility as the inheritor of the secret book, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

After hearing this, Xie Jingxi respectfully kowtowed to the silent monk three times, and swore very solemnly: "Father and master have spirits in heaven, and son and apprentice Xie Jingxi swear that he will not violate your requirements and teachings, and will not violate the teachings of the Xie family, please rest assured, Xie Jingxi will strictly abide by the regulations required by his father, master, and uncle, and will never violate them, if he violates them, he will be punished by heaven!"

The silent monk took Xie Jingxi, who was kneeling on the futon, and said, " Xiao Xizi, you don't have to swear, your experience, your appearance in the Hanging Temple, what you have done in the political arena and in the rivers and lakes, everyone has seen it, Uncle Shi trusts you very much, now, there is a very important thing that you need to pay attention to, you may have ignored this matter before, that is, your son Xie Wende participated in the imperial examination, you have been busy with politics and martial arts, and you don't care enough about your son's imperial examination, in fact, you should pay more attention to this aspect, think about it, only he can test the top three in the middle hall, and the descendants of the Xie family will have the conditions to open the cheats, judging from the current situation of the various factions in the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to maintain the justice of martial arts, You have to lead the decent forces of the rivers and lakes to maintain the stability of the martial arts, it is impossible to achieve it only by your current martial arts, you must exert the new power of the martial arts on the cheats, in order to maintain the justice of the martial arts, from this point of view, the matter of your son's imperial examination has become very important, after you go back, you have to spend more energy on your son, with your erudition, you will definitely be able to train your son very well. ”

"Thank you Uncle for your advice, the apprentice really doesn't care enough about his son's affairs, now, it is Mr. Lin Hexuan who is teaching Xie Wende to read the Confucian classics and study the "Four Books and Five Classics", and the apprentice really cares very little about him, the uncle is very right to criticize, after going back, the apprentice will definitely teach his son to read the classics himself. Xie Jingxi said.

"That Lin Hexuan, Lao Wei has also heard that he is a learned and talented old man, but Lao Wei learned from the news that you also asked him to assist you in handling a lot of affairs on the rivers and lakes, so that he does not have so much energy to teach your son to read, according to Lao Gao's idea, you and Lin Hexuan should take turns to teach your son at a fixed time, so that he can be fully prepared for participating in the imperial examination, in fact, the matter of your son's imperial examination is not only his business, nor is it only your Xie family's business, but a major matter related to martial arts, and it must be paid more attention。 The silent monk said.

"Also, your daughter is very smart, she is a very knowledgeable and talented woman, you have to train her well, maybe, she will be able to help you deal with a lot of affairs in the future, according to Lao Wei's observation, she will also have a very wonderful martial arts, she is a young woman who can write and martial arts, and if you experience it again, she can take on great responsibilities. The Silent Monk continued.

"Is it? She really knows martial arts? This is strange, the apprentice is his father, he didn't know that she knew martial arts, uncle, your vision is too powerful, you can see that she has kung fu, the apprentice really doesn't know when she learned martial arts, in Xie Mansion, she has never shown her hands, she knows martial arts, but she has been hiding from her father, she is too much. Xie Jingxi said in surprise.

"Don't blame her, according to Lao Qu's guess, your daughter's martial arts should have been taught to her by a certain teacher, she didn't tell you that she had learned martial arts, it is likely that her master asked her to keep it a secret, one day, she will reveal her martial arts, you still don't ask for the time being, let her sue you herself at the right time, she is a very smart woman, she is very measured, Lao Qu reads a lot of people, a woman like her, she is still rarely seen, and she must be an outstanding woman in the martial arts in the future. The silent monk said.

"Uncle Shi, you also praise her too much, right? Little girl, you just know some things about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if you really know martial arts, you must know a little about it, is it worth Uncle Shi to praise her like this?" Xie Jingxi was very happy when he heard the silent monk praise Xie Jiayao, but he still had to show his modesty, in front of his uncle, he couldn't be too proud.

"Lao Gao will not be wrong to look at people, you will know in the future, if Lao Gao says too much, it is equivalent to leaking the heavenly secret, you will definitely see your daughter's achievements, and it will be self-defeating. The silent monk said a little mysterious, and Xie Jingxi didn't want to ask more.

"The serious things are all over, Xiao Xizi, let's go to the meditation room, easily taste Zen tea, just now I told you the secret that my senior brother confessed, so that you feel the responsibility is heavy, you have been tense your brain, the pressure in your heart must be not small, now, it's time to relax." The silent monk said, leading Xie Jingxi to the meditation room.

After a few rounds of tea, Xie Jingxi's mood became a lot more relaxed, he talked and laughed with the silent monks, the two recalled together that Xie Jingxi used to practice martial arts and read scriptures in the Hanging Temple, and talked very happily, Xie Jingxi has been thinking back to the experience of being young in the temple, he misses his master very much, and also misses the days with his brothers in the temple in the past.

Xie Jingxi asked, "Uncle Shi, are those junior brothers who used to practice martial arts with the junior apprentices still in the Hanging Temple now? Can you take the junior apprentices to see them?"

"Many years have passed, your brothers and sisters have also gone their own way, some have returned to the world to do other things, some have gone to other temples, some have gone to the rivers and lakes, there are only four left, tomorrow, I will take you to see them, they will be very happy to see you back. The silent monk said.

Xie Jingxi remembered his brothers and sisters who were together, and thought of the scene when his uncle sent him to the Hanging Temple, at that time, he felt very helpless, from a young master in a wealthy mansion suddenly became a little monk, he was in a very uncomfortable mood, and later, after a period of training and teaching by his master, he slowly adapted to the life in the temple, and then began to learn the classics, practice martial arts, and later, when he was about to leave the Hanging Temple, he had clearly realized that the experience of nearly ten years in the temple actually shaped him into a person with richer connotations, making him a more useful person。

Xie Jingxi thought: " This time I was able to see my uncle in the Hanging Temple, and I got the secret that my father entrusted the master to pass on, so that I knew more about the Xie family's cheats, and I also felt more responsible, Uncle Shi just asked me to pay more attention to cultivating Wende, which is actually prompting me to create zào conditions, open the cheats as soon as possible, and use the martial arts in the cheats to maintain the justice of the rivers and lakes, the current rivers and lakes, the battle is fierce, complex and changeable, the result is hard to predict, although the various factions in the rivers and lakes are now working together to attack the police division, but it is difficult to say whether they can defeat the police division, and each sect has its own strategy, even if the power of the police division is temporarily weakened, the various sects cannot be at peace with each other, A person as ambitious as Jia Tianming of the Yuanshan faction will not let the rivers and lakes be peaceful, perhaps, if he defeats the police division, he will turn around and deal with other sects on the rivers and lakes, so, Uncle Shi is right, it is not easy to maintain the justice of martial arts. The power of the palace, relying on my martial arts now, it is very difficult to maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes, there is no power to speak without strength, and there is no power to maintain justice, obviously, to maintain the justice of martial arts, it is necessary to enable cheats, I have to admire Uncle Shi, he thinks more thoughtfully than me, and his vision is more comprehensive than mine. Further, it seems that all kinds of things that appear in the rivers and lakes, Uncle Shi is aware of it, although he has been hidden in the ancient temple for a long time, and has been chanting and practicing, but he can see the major events in the martial arts clearly, and a hermit like him is the real great wisdom.
