Chapter 12 Reincarnation
Originally, the Jin Kingdom did not have the custom of worshiping the heaven during the winter solstice, but since it was assimilated to the Han culture, it has been in line with the Han Dynasty in all aspects. The Han ministers in the court are particularly particular about these etiquettes. This is their specialty.
The emperor's sacrifice to heaven symbolizes the innate imperial power and the meaning of receiving orders from heaven.
On the day of the winter solstice, all the officials would present congratulations to the emperor, and all the descendants of the royal family who were not engaged in official duties would follow the emperor to the countryside to worship. Although it was just a formality, Yang Kang did not dare to be absent.
He is Wanyan Honglie's only son, and is the focus of attention from both the government and the public. Many people are waiting for him to make mistakes, and he cannot give those people a chance.
Twenty days before the winter solstice, the carriage from Prince Zhao's palace arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, preparing to welcome the young prince back to Zhongdu. The martial arts career of more than two months was coming to an end.
"When you go back this time, you must practice more diligently and don't let it go to waste. There is no shortcut on the road to cultivation. You can practice whenever and wherever you want." Headmaster Ma Jue said earnestly, "After the new year, your master
I will see you when I come back from Jiangnan."
"I will obey the instruction given by the Master." Yang Kang said respectfully.
"You kid, you have too many worries and can't let go." Ma Jue shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
Yang Kang's heart tightened. He didn't understand what Ma Jue meant, but he didn't ask any more questions. After kneeling down and worshiping, he walked out of Chongyang Palace with a small package on his back and walked towards the small town at the foot of the mountain.
Behind him, Ma Jue and Tan Chuduan stood at the entrance of Chongyang Palace, watching the little figure gradually walking away, looking at each other, and both shook their heads.
Based on their experience and perspective, it is natural to see that Yang Kang has something on his mind. He is not as lively and active as a seven-year-old child at all. But being born in an imperial family, he must have very serious thoughts, otherwise he will become a prodigal.
.
Quanzhen Religion believes that tranquility and inaction are the foundation of Taoism. Only by eliminating emotions and desires, and having a pure mind, can we return to simplicity, preserve the truth, and understand the heart and nature.
According to this standard, Zhou Botong is a truly enlightened person. He has no grudges and has self-developed supernatural powers. Ma Jue and Tan Chuduan have basically achieved this.
The mental method of Quanzhen Sect's internal skills is consistent with martial arts. Only by using a quiet and inactive mentality can you get twice the result with half the effort. Yang Kang's heavy thinking is inconsistent with the purpose of Quanzhen Sect's internal skills, so it is difficult to achieve extremely high achievements in practice.
This is why Ma Jue and Tan Chuduan shook their heads. They were not optimistic about Yang Kang's future martial arts achievements.
They have been observing Yang Kang these days. Yang Kang has a strong receptive ability and a fast learning rate. He is a good student in martial arts. However, it is precisely because Yang Kang is smart that Ma Jue is worried that he will take detours.
Smart people like to take shortcuts when doing things. They can think of things that others can't think of, so they want to take a step ahead of others and achieve their goals as quickly as possible. However, there are no shortcuts in cultivation. If you want to take shortcuts, you will be in danger and you will easily go crazy.
The warning Ma Jue just said to Yang Kang was to warn him not to take shortcuts and to go on step by step, but he knew that Yang Kang did not listen.
Yang Kang didn't know Ma Jue's painstaking efforts and thought that his recent actions had attracted the attention of Master Quanzhen. He couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, but he had no intention of turning back when he opened the bow. He had been preparing for such a long time and couldn't give up halfway.
In the small town at the foot of the mountain, Peng Lianhu was waiting for him. Yang Kang got on the palace's carriage and set off towards the nearest city, Chang'an.
"Are you ready?" Yang Kang asked seriously in the carriage.
"Ready." Peng Lianhu took a package from the corner of the carriage and responded.
Yang Kang opened the packages and checked them one by one. He found that they were indeed what he wanted, so he felt relieved and began to lean on the back of the carriage and close his eyes to meditate.
"My young prince, your prince sent me here 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 soon." Yang Kang comforted.
Although Yang Kang said so, Peng Lianhu still felt uneasy. He didn't know what the young prince was doing preparing those things, and he didn't know what the young prince's plan was. At this time, he was already outside the scope of Chongyang Palace. If something happened to the young prince,
It is his responsibility, and I am afraid he will have no choice but to take refuge in Mobei.
He decided to follow the young prince later and protect Yang Kang's safety at all times.
"Don't follow me." Yang Kang seemed to know what Peng Lianhu was thinking. He opened his eyes and warned, "Just wait in Chang'an. I won't treat you badly in the future."
Peng Lianhu blinked his eyes, with a look of helplessness on his face.
The carriage walked out for about an hour, far away from the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. The sky gradually darkened, and a figure slipped out of the carriage and disappeared into the mountains and fields.
Yang Kang found a small pond, unwrapped the package, took off his clothes, took off the hair crown on his head, untied the bun, let the hair fall down, then put on the clothes in the package, trimmed his eyebrows, and took a photo of the small pond.
After a moment, a heroic and beautiful little girl appeared in his eyes.
He made a few cute moves towards the water, which almost made him sick. Feeling that it was almost done, he packed up the clothes he took off, hid in the mountains and forests, and walked towards Zhongnan Mountain.
A set of girls' clothes and makeup equipment, this is what Yang Kang asked Peng Lianhu to prepare, which made Peng Lianhu think that this was a gift that the young prince wanted to give to a favorite little girl.
Ever since Yang Kang knew that Li Mochou had not entered the ancient tomb, he changed his plan and made a bold decision to enter the ancient tomb disguised as a little girl.
This is not because Yang Kang is narcissistic, but because God has given him a good skin. Coupled with the well-fed life in the palace, he has a beautiful face, handsome and pleasant appearance. After putting on women's clothes and matching his superb acting skills, he will definitely be successful.
The potential to become the king of cross-dressing.
What's more, the child doesn't have a protruding Adam's apple or a changed voice, so it's difficult to identify him unless he takes off his clothes.
Yang Kang was walking in the night, thinking about the test he was about to undergo, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Before he knew it, snowflakes began to fall from 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 can he avoid being discovered by the Taoist priests of Chongyang Palace? The place he is walking is in the blind spot of the Taoist priests. What's more, the weather is good tonight and it is snowing heavily, which will make it even more difficult.
be found.
According to his calculations, the ancient tomb was in the middle of the jungle. In this weather, bees would not fly out and sting people. He boldly walked into the jungle and groped forward in the night.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, and 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 forest.
