When we came to the back mountain again, the bamboo house where Mu Qinglan lived was still picturesque.
It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and Mu Qinglan, who was wearing a white sportswear, was holding a watering pot and carefully playing with the flowers in front of the door.
After the butcher Ah Jun arrived, he stood aside respectfully and called Master.
Mu Qinglan glanced at several people, and finally her eyes fell on Zhou Jian. She waved to Zhou Jian and said, "Follow me." Zhou Jian was slightly startled, secretly wondering what Mu Qinglan asked him to do.
, you don’t want to accept him as your disciple, right?
Mu Qinglan opened the door of the bamboo house, and Zhou Jian followed in.
This is a room that is not large in space but very elegantly furnished. The furniture in the hall only has an Eight Immortals table and two rattan chairs that look a bit old. There is a vase on the table, which is as green as jasper. Inside
There is a bunch of white gardenias stuck in it. The flowers have not yet bloomed, but they are already fragrant.
Apart from this, there is only an ink painting of green bamboo hanging on the wall. The green bamboos are dense and tall, yet graceful. There are two lines of inscriptions next to it. The calligraphy is as powerful as a startling dragon, and it penetrates the back of the paper. Zhou Jian looked at it for a long time before reading it.
Understand, understand
What is written on it is: "In the past, Zheng Banqiao made ink bamboo pictures, and the stone was larger than the bamboo. Now I am making bamboo, and the vegetation is growing in anger. If there is stone but no bamboo, it will be dark. If there is bamboo but no stone, it will be lonely. Bamboo is proud of the bones, and stone is stubborn on the outside. It is proud.
Bamboo is hard to find, and hard rocks are also hard to find. Now I have made a picture of dianthus, hidden in it.
Living in a thatched cottage, one cannot enter the gate of wealth. In the spring of 2199, Yan Chi. "Yan Chi? Have you never heard of this person? Is he a Dharma name? The meaning of the two lines of inscription is probably that when Zheng Banqiao was painting bamboo, he was comparing stones with each other.
There are a lot of bamboos, so when you draw bamboos by yourself
At that time, there were more bamboos than stones. Bamboos and stones are indispensable. Each has its own character. There is pride in the bamboo, and strongness on the outside of the stone. Both are rare. I drew this picture of dianthus and retired to the thatched cottage in the mountains.
I don’t want to enter the prosperous world anymore.
This idiot should be a hermit who has seen through the world of mortals, but he doesn't look like Mu Qinglan, because those two lines of words are drawn... like the wind and like a knife, and they don't look like they were written by a woman.
When Mu Qinglan saw Zhou Jian staring at the stone cow picture, he said: "That is the work of an old friend, we have not seen each other for decades.,...
Zhou Jian said "Oh" and naturally did not ask any further questions. Since he was Mu Qinglan's friend, he must be a respectable person.
Yan Chi...this name is quite special.
Mu Qinglan pointed to the wicker chair and said, "Sit down."
Zhou Jian sat down politely.
Mu Qinglan asked, "What's your relationship with Yuli?" Zhou Jian was slightly startled. He didn't expect Mu Qinglan to ask this. He thought about it and said, "Friends." "Ordinary friends?"
"They are very good friends."
"Oh, I understand. You go out and ask Yuli to come in." Hmm? That's it? Zhou Jian felt weird. He thought Mu Qinglan called him because he had something important to say, and he wouldn't just ask such a question.
Just call yourself to the back mountain in one sentence. Isn’t it the same as asking to leave?
What does she want to do?
After saying yes, Zhou Jian got up and went out.
After a while, Li came in and called "Master."
Mu Qinglan gave Li a loving look and said, "Sit down." Qinglan poured a cup of tea and sat next to Li. "Yuli, do you know why I accepted you as my direct disciple on the first day we met?"
Li Yaozi shook his head.
Mu Qinglan smiled, "I know you have many secrets, but I don't want to ask. I accepted you as my disciple without asking about your origins on the first day I met you, because I believe a person's eyes can't deceive. Yours
The eyes are the clearest I have ever seen in my life
I trust my intuition about my eyes. Hehe, people with pure yin bodies have a very strong sixth sense." "Master has never been married and has no children. I didn't expect that he would accept a disciple like you in his old age. You are very similar.
I really looked like me when I was young."
Li didn't know why Mu Qinglan suddenly mentioned this, so he just listened quietly.
"It has only been more than a hundred years since the birth of ancient martial arts. Many martial arts and mental methods are the summary of the lifelong cultivation experience of the talented ancient martial arts seniors. A master corresponds to a set of inheritance, and I also have a set of my own
The inheritance of the ancient scriptures was borrowed from the ancient scriptures and named it "Jade,
"Nv Jing", but although I accepted six disciples before you, I never gave this inheritance away because they did not have pure yin bodies."
"I entered the martial arts with a pure yin body, and everything I summarized is naturally based on a pure yin body. However, there are so few people with this kind of physique. I am afraid that the "Jade Girl Sutra" will be discontinued after my death." "I am very fortunate.
, I found you. Your physique is better than mine. If you can inherit my inheritance, you will definitely avoid many detours.
, and your eyes are clear and innocent, which is very rare." "I started practicing cultivation at the age of sixteen. I fell in love with a man when I was nineteen, and I continued to love him until I was thirty, but to no avail. After I became discouraged, I
I retired to the mountains and devoted myself to studying martial arts, but I didn’t expect that from then on, my understanding of ancient martial arts and Chinese martial arts would progress by leaps and bounds.”
"The first three volumes of "The Jade Girl Sutra" are the summary of my experience before I was thirty years old. Using love to enter martial arts is not the essence. The last six volumes were written after I was thirty years old. I cut off the thread of love, have no distractions, and focus on everything.
The pursuit of perfection is the essence of the Jade Girl Sutra."
"If you accept the inheritance of the "Jade Girl Sutra", then you need to put aside all emotions, never marry for the rest of your life, and remain a virgin. Are you willing?"
Mu Qinglan's voice had been calm and slow, and Li listened calmly until the last sentence, when she trembled slightly and raised her head.
Put aside all feelings, never marry, and remain a virgin...
She gritted her teeth and shook her head slowly but firmly.
The kindness on Mu Qinglan's face suddenly froze. After a long time, she sighed quietly, "Is it because of the man outside the house?"
Li nodded and said succinctly: "Yes." "Do you understand him?" "Yes."
"You believe him?"
"letter."
"Do you think you can get together in the future?"
Li was silent. After a long time, she said silently: "I am a follower." "Follower? What an apt name. You are so much like me. I followed a man from the age of nineteen to the age of thirty.
, I didn’t get any results. I don’t regret my childishness and naivety when I was young. If it hadn’t been for those days, I wouldn’t have understood everything. Indeed, I want to
It's too difficult for a young girl to cut off her love. Who didn't dream of romantic love when they were young?" "Okay, you are seventeen now. I will wait for you until you are thirty, maybe you will come back." Li shook his head.
"Master, I'm different from you." "What's the difference?" "I'm a follower." Li said this sentence slowly again, word for word.
Seeing Li's clear and firm eyes, Mu Qinglan was slightly startled.
"What do you mean by followers...do you have any special meaning?"
Be silent.
Mu Qinglan shook her head, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, but Master just wants to ask, are you willing?" "Yes."
"I understand." Mu Qinglan sighed, feeling for Li and also for herself. Maybe if she misses Li, she will be alone for the rest of her life. After her death, she will be wrapped in a "Diaphrodite" and turn into ashes.
, no more worries.
Thinking of this, she looked at the "Picture of Dianthus" on the wall, and her eyes became misty. If there are rocks but no bamboo, it will be dark. If there are bamboos but no rocks, it will be lonely. You would like to be the rock on the ground, and I would like to be the pampas grass on the rock. Unfortunately,
What you like is plain bamboo that has no flowers in its life.
The rock has been dead for thousands of years, the bamboo has survived the Spring and Autumn Period, and the pampas grass has been tough for a while. Am I not persistent enough? Mu Qinglan smiled to himself, "It's already like this, why bother to miss it anymore?"
"I'm sorry, Master." Li said softly, sensing Mu Qinglan's sadness.
"There is nothing to be sorry for. The sky is vast and the earth is vast. Everyone has his or her own ambitions. A fox or a mouse clings to the wall. Why should we think about it?
It's just that I'm too stubborn to realize it. That's all. I'll teach you another set of exercises, but I only have residual skills in my hands.
..." "Thank you, Master." I seemed to understand Mu Qinglan's words and heart.
"There is nothing to thank you for. This set of exercises is said to be an exercise, but in fact it is not necessarily an exercise. No one has perfected it so far. It is different from other ancient martial arts exercises. This set of exercises existed before the catastrophe. It
Its existence has always been a mystery.
Li Weiwei was startled. These days, she also knew what the catastrophe was in this world. Gu Wu was born after the catastrophe, so what happened to the techniques that were passed down before the catastrophe?
Mu Qinglan added: "Based on the name, "Nine Transcriptions" has nine levels. I only have the copy of the first level and the original original of the second level. It requires a couple to fall in love sincerely and at the same time, God allows their talents.
Only men and women can cultivate together, just
This requirement kills most people. Those who are truly in love are not necessarily those who are gifted by nature, and those who are gifted by nature may not be truly in love. Many masters work together for this mysterious set of skills.
things, but ultimately to no avail.”
"When I got the fragments of this set of exercises, I always wanted to practice with my sweetheart, but unfortunately... haha, forget it, it's all in the past."
Mu Qinglan said as he stood up and walked into the bedroom. He took out a sandalwood box from under the couch and gently brushed off the dust on it. After opening it, there was a stack of slightly yellowed pages bound on top.
A page written in regular script...
"Nine Transcriptions".
"This set of exercises is called "Nine Transcriptions". It's not a special name but it's a confusing name. Maybe it will eventually reach nine levels if you practice it. No one knows who the founder is. Currently, there is only "Nine Transcriptions" in the world.
Fragments of the first few layers of Transcription."
Li looked at this set of exercises and wondered: "If no one has perfected it, why do you think it is a exercise?"
Mu Qinglan said: "That's because it's very special. Even if you can't practice it, you can still feel the vast atmosphere coming from the pages. If you look at the copy, you can't see it, but if you look at the original, you will feel this shock.
I feel it." Mu Qinglan said, carefully taking out the remaining pages from the box.
...As I said yesterday, I will add another chapter. I wanted to finish it yesterday, but it turned out to be useless, so I will finish it today. I will probably make sure it is done before twelve o'clock@.
