Chapter 56: The Origin of Jingzhai

Cihang Jingzhai,

It was the first place for the royal family to practice Taoism, to be precise, the place for the emperor and women to practice Taoism! In ancient China, there was always a custom of burying with burials for living people, which were very popular during the Shang Dynasty. After the king died, they sent everything they enjoyed during their lifetime, including beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, to the graves. It can be said that except for the queen and some princes' biological mothers, concubines who had no children were basically buried with them!

This custom was not restrained until after the Qin and Han dynasties, and was often replaced by wooden figurines and pottery figurines. However, restrained means restraining. After the emperor's death, the disposal of so many women was indeed a problem. People could not remarry or mess around outside, right? So, a better place was gradually emerged, that is, becoming a monk!

In the early Qin and Han dynasties, Buddhism was not introduced to the Central Plains, so the so-called monks actually mean practicing Taoism.

As a royal temple, Cihang Jingzhai was hosting such a group of women. After the death of a generation of kings, most of his concubines, except for the queen and others, would enter Cihang Jingzhai and directly enter the inner sect management. Because the emperor's woman's identity is sensitive, there are naturally no men in the inner sect, so there are only women in Cihang Jingzhai. Of course, in addition to the concubine, there are some real practitioners in the inner sect, who are headed by the Zhai master to jointly decide the future of Cihang Jingzhai.

It is precisely because Cihang Jingzhai has the royal family constantly supported it, and there are always many close people in the inner sect. Therefore, Cihang Jingzhai's general policy will always support the Han Dynasty! However, it is precisely because of this special composition that the empress dowagers of all dynasties have not dealt with Cihang Jingzhai. Empress Dowager He is the best example. When she was the queen, she didn't think there was anything, and she was even willing to send her son to Cihang Jingzhai to raise him, thinking that it was safer than the palace. But once she became the queen mother, all of her former enemies entered Cihang Jingzhai. Do you think Empress Dowager He would still be at ease with Cihang Jingzhai?

With preconceived ideas, he already had absolute malice. How could Empress Dowager He believe Diao Chan who came out of Cihang Jingzhai? Those women lost to her at the beginning, but now they have joined forces, and they still don’t know how to deal with them, mother and son! This is what the young emperor Liu Bian could never understand, and his mother’s attitude towards Cihang Jingzhai changed.

After talking about the inner sect, there is naturally an outer sect. Cihang Jingzhai inner sect is either a noble concubine or a true cultivator. They must need people to take care of and protect, so they naturally originated from the outer sect. Outer sect disciples practice literature and martial arts, with the royal financial, material and human resources behind the scenes, the education received by the outer sect since childhood is definitely no worse than that of the children of the aristocratic families. Moreover, they do not have the arrogance of the children of the aristocratic families.

Heng, knows how to work harder and knows more gratitude. In addition, the choice of talents is not limited (not only civilians, some aristocratic families have very strong family members. As long as they are attracted by Cihang Jingzhai, they are willing to send individual children to Cihang Jingzhai for training), so that every generation of Cihang Jingzhai has very outstanding disciples. Occasionally, when the court is short of people, Cihang Jingzhai can also recommend talents to the court. Of course, most of the time, Cihang Jingzhai's talents are in seclusion all their lives.

In addition, compared to Xiuwen, Cihang Jingzhai Outer Sect attaches more importance to martial arts, especially female disciples, who have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the inner Sect and are often trained in a key way. In addition, the practices they practiced were selected by the royal family at the time, which was absolutely the upper-level martial arts. When practicing since childhood, they are usually much stronger than their peers outside at a young age. In terms of martial arts, the overall situation is that women are strong and men are weak.

Qin Chuan is such a pretty standard outer disciple. Compared to his talent, he is obviously better at martial arts. Of course, as Yuan Wei said, even if he is relatively good at it, compared with a real genius, Qin Chuan is at most middle-class and superior.

In short, most of the talents in Cihang Jingzhai, and even all the young people, all came from outside. Sun Quan did not know the details, and was obviously fooled by Qin Chuan's answer, so long after that, Sun Quan discovered what he should have known in the morning after realizing it.

······

Back to the topic,

Since Cihang Jingzhai's martial arts are one of the four great books today, Sun Quan proposed to read the four great books in front of Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan was naturally misunderstood, thinking that Sun Quan had seen through his origin. Nonsense, if it weren't for this, how could Sun Quan be sure that he could get the four great books? In connection with Sun Quan's interest in his martial arts before entering the palace this morning, Qin Chuan naturally only thought of this possibility!

Sun Quan would never have expected that by chance, he would have made such a big mistake.

Sun Quan took it for granted that "The Essence of Life" was better than the other three extraordinary books, so this statement was not contrary to his purpose. However, Qin Chuan believed that the so-called four extraordinary books were just the cover of Sun Quan, and what Sun Quan wanted to read was his Cihang Jingzhai's martial arts! Therefore, Qin Chuan naturally could not think of the other three books. Looking for "The Essence of Life" to get a flaw? Get through the clues? Qin Chuan would not use such tricks.

The two are not on the same channel at all...

"I said this morning that I can't make the decision on the martial arts of the master. However, if you really want to take a look, I can help you with a letter and ask your master to decide." Qin Chuan said.

When he heard Qin Chuan's words, Sun Quan quickly responded,

"Since Brother Qin, a martial arts master, can't make the decision, why bother? There are four books in the four great books!"

Sun Quan is hinting that you can go to "The Eternal Life Skill", he doesn't mind!

Qin Chuan frowned,

"In addition to the "Taozu True Sutra" by Cihang Jingzhai, do you want to read "Dunjia Tian Shu"? But the "Dunjia Tian Shu" is in Zuo Ci's hands. In comparison, I think it is a bit more likely that I will return to the master's sect with a letter." (In this era, Cihang Jingzhai was not the later Cihang Jingzhai, and the Demon Sect Heavenly Demon Ce was not integrated, so the four Great Wonderful Books are different. According to my above settings for Cihang Jingzhai, they naturally use the orthodox Taoist mental method)

Sun Quan was speechless for a moment, and he didn't care that these four extraordinary books seemed to be different from his impression. He couldn't help but say,

"Aren't there two more books?"

Qin Chuan was even more surprised and couldn't help but say,

"No one knows where the legendary "God of War" is. You don't think I can find it, right? As for "The Eternal Life", no one has ever learned it, and many people even speculate that it is not martial arts at all. It is useless to pursue these illusory things."

"oops!"

Sun Quan was so anxious that he almost jumped up. You said Brother Qin, why is he so real? I can't practice, that's my problem. If you get things as agreed, just make it!

Seeing Sun Quan's anxious look, Qin Chuan suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Is your purpose actually the Eternal Life Art?"
Chapter completed!
