Chapter 12: Reincarnation
Originally, the Jin Kingdom did not have the practice of worshipping the sky on the winter solstice, but since it was assimilated by the Han culture, it was on par with the Han dynasty in all aspects, and the Han ministers in the court paid special attention to these etiquettes, which was their specialty.
The emperor's sacrifice to heaven symbolizes the meaning of being gifted with imperial power and being ordered by heaven.
On the day of the winter solstice, the hundred officials had to present a congratulatory watch to the emperor, and all the royal descendants who had no official duties had to follow the emperor to the suburbs to worship, although it was only a formality, but Yang Kang did not dare to be absent.
He is the only son of Wanyan Honglie, and he is the focus of attention from the government and the opposition, and many people are waiting for him to make mistakes, and he can't give those people a chance.
Twenty days before the winter solstice, the carriage of Zhao Wangfu came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, ready to welcome the little prince back to Zhongdu, and the martial arts career of more than two months was coming to an end.
"After going back this time, you must think more and practice diligently, don't waste it, there is no shortcut to the path of cultivation, no matter when and where you have the heart, you can practice. Coach Ma Jue said earnestly, "After the New Year, your master will come back from Jiangnan to see you." ”
"Obey the Teachings. Yang Kang said respectfully.
"You kid, you just have too many worries, and you can't let go of your heart. Ma Jue shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Yang Kang's heart tightened, he didn't understand what Ma Jue meant, but he didn't ask too much, and after kneeling and bowing, he walked out of Chongyang Palace with a small package on his back and walked towards the town under the mountain.
Behind him, Ma Jue and Tan Chuduan stood at the door of Chongyang Palace, watching the little back gradually walk away, looking at each other, and both shook their heads.
With the experience and vision of the two of them, it can naturally be seen that Yang Kang has something on his mind, and he is not as lively and active as a seven-year-old child at all, but he was born in the emperor's family, and his mind must be very heavy, otherwise he will become a prodigal child.
The Quanzhen Sect believes that pure and inaction is the foundation of cultivation, and only by eliminating emotions and desires and purifying the heart can we return to simplicity and truth, and recognize the mind and insight.
According to this standard, Zhou Botong is a real enlightened person, he has no mustards, and his supernatural powers are self-contained, and Ma Jue and Tan Chuduan have basically achieved this.
The internal strength of the Quanzhen Sect and the martial arts are the same, only with a quiet and inactive mentality can you get twice the result with half the effort, Yang Kang's mind is heavy, and the purpose of the Quanzhen Sect's internal strength is not in line, it is difficult to practice to achieve extremely high achievements.
This is the reason why Ma Jue and Tan Chuduan shook their heads, they were not optimistic about Yang Kang's future martial arts achievements.
These days, they have been observing Yang Kang, Yang Kang has a strong ability to accept, a fast learning progress, and is a good seedling for learning martial arts, but it is precisely because Yang Kang is smart that Ma Jue is worried that he will take a detour.
A smart person likes to take shortcuts when doing things, and if he can think of something that others can't imagine, he wants to take a step ahead of others and do his best to achieve his goal, but there is no shortcut in cultivation, and if he wants to take a shortcut, he will be in danger, and he is easy to go mad.
Ma Jue's warning to Yang Kang just now was to warn him not to take shortcuts and to go down step by step, but he knew that Yang Kang didn't listen to it.
Yang Kang didn't know Ma Jue's hard work, thinking that his recent actions had attracted the attention of the Quanzhen Sect, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive in his heart, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he couldn't give up halfway for such a long time.
In the small town below the mountain, Peng Lianhu was waiting for him, Yang Kang got into the carriage of the palace, and the carriage set off towards the nearest city, Chang'an.
"Are the things ready?" asked Yang Kang sternly in the carriage.
"Ready. Peng Lianhu took a package from the corner of the carriage and replied.
Yang Kang opened the package, checked them one by one, and found that they were indeed all he wanted, so he relaxed and began to lean on the back of the carriage and close his eyes to recuperate.
"Little prince, the prince sent me to protect your safety, this time ......" Peng Lianhu hesitated.
"There is no danger this time, you wait for me in Chang'an for two days, and I will arrive later. Yang Kang comforted.
Although Yang Kang said so, Peng Lianhu was still not at ease, he didn't know what this little prince was going to do with those things, and he didn't know what the little prince was going to do, at this time he was out of the scope of Chongyang Palace, if something happened to the little prince, it would be his responsibility, and he was afraid that he would have to run to Mobei to take refuge at that time.
He decided to follow the little prince and protect Yang Kang's safety at any time.
"Don't follow me. Yang Kang seemed to know Peng Lianhu's thoughts, opened his eyes and warned, "You just need to wait in Chang'an, I won't treat you badly in the future." ”
Peng Lianhu blinked, looking helpless.
The carriage walked out for about an hour, far away from the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and the sky gradually darkened, and a figure slipped out of the carriage, and then disappeared between the mountains.
Yang Kang found a small pond, unwrapped it, took off his clothes, took off the crown of hair on his head, untied his bun, let his hair fall down, then changed into the clothes in the package, trimmed his eyebrows, and took a look at the small pond, and a heroic and beautiful little girl appeared in his eyes.
He made a few lovely movements towards the water, almost disgusting himself, and felt almost finished, so he packed up his clothes and hid in the mountains and forests, and walked towards Zhongnan Mountain.
A set of clothes and makeup utensils for the girl, this is what Yang Kang asked Peng Lianhu to prepare, making Peng Lianhu think that this is a gift from the little prince to a favorite little girl.
Since Yang Kang knew that Li Mochou had not yet entered the ancient tomb, he changed his plan and made a bold decision to enter the ancient tomb dressed as a little girl.
This is not Yang Kang's narcissism, but God gave him a good skin, coupled with the life of brocade clothes and jade food in the palace, so that his face is like a crown of jade, delicate and lovely, and after wearing women's clothes, with his superb acting skills, he definitely has the potential to become the king of anti-strings.
What's more, the child does not have a protruding Adam's apple, nor does it change its voice, unless it is stripped naked, it is difficult to identify.
Yang Kang walked in the night, thinking about the test he was going to accept, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and before he knew it, snowflakes floated in the sky, slowly dyeing the entire mountain forest white.
He returned to the vicinity of Chongyang Palace and walked from the path towards the back mountain.
Yang Kang has been observing this road these days, how to walk so as not to be discovered by the Taoist priests of Chongyang Palace, the places he is walking now are in the dead corners of those Taoist priests' observations, not to mention that tonight the sky is beautiful, and it is snowing heavily, which is even more difficult to find.
According to his calculations, the tomb was in the middle of the jungle, and the bees should not fly out to sting people in this weather, so he boldly walked into the jungle and touched it forward in the night.
Suddenly, as if a gust of wind was blowing, a figure stood behind Yang Kang.
"Little girl, whose child are you, what are you doing here so late?" a gentle voice sounded in the woods.
"My name is Lin Chaoying, and I'm here to find someone. In the darkness, the little girl said in a trembling voice.
