The family-style dinner came to an end in a relatively cheerful atmosphere.
Yamazaki and Shandai sent their adoptive mother Tian Xin back to the yard, said goodbye to their two cousins, and quickly left.
I went back to the inn and listened to someone reading a book. I let the food in my stomach digest for a while, then went to the hall to take a bath, and then came back to rest at night.
the next day.
Yamazaki went to the mountain after breakfast and returned to Guanhong Pavilion.
Ding Lei is practicing martial arts, and Yamazaki has a collection of martial arts secrets.
"Mr. Yamazaki?"
"It's me, how's your stay?"
"You don't want to drive me away at this time, I just planted the vegetables!"
"No, I have something to do later, you can continue to stay."
"That's good."
Yamazaki turned around and said, "It's not bad. Here's one hundred taels of silver for you, which is considered as housekeeping wages."
Ding Lei happily took it and looked at it again and again, "Young master is so generous, has he made a fortune? Can you tell me something?"
"How is your martial arts? If you are good at martial arts, you will naturally get money."
"I understand, I'll practice for a few more years and see."
Yamazaki was funny, "Do you want me to give you some advice?"
"Cashier?"
"No, but you have to keep it secret."
"become."
Yamazaki summarized: "Martial arts are divided into internal and external skills, but no matter internal or external, it actually ultimately depends on how the body is."
"There are various types of internal skills. The one that is suitable for everyone is breathing and breathing, and it can be practiced twelve hours a day."
"For most internal skills, practice should be divided into time periods. Only when the time, place, and people are favorable can you have the best time to practice."
"If you pick the wrong time, you will get twice the result with half the effort, or even go backwards."
"So, as long as you are willing to work hard and breathe out and regulate your breath, the internal Qi growth rate is actually better than many first-class internal skills."
"Then why, many people can't?"
"This involves the body. Only by taking good care of the body can we continue to grow."
"How to take good care of your body? The first thing is to eat. Eat enough and eat well, so that your body will have the foundation to get better."
"If you don't have enough to eat, if you can't eat a piece of meat a day, how can you have the strength?"
"To take good care of your body, the second step is to practice external martial arts. Martial arts moves are used to strengthen the muscles and bones, and even strengthen the meridians."
"With good meridians, the body can hold more internal energy."
"Innate aptitude is one thing, but without nurture, you will only have 20 to 30 years of inner strength."
"So, the secret is to eat more, eat well and practice more external exercises, and spend the rest of the time breathing and breathing."
Ding Lei couldn't help but retort, "That's easy to say. I need money to eat well, let alone time."
"I was busy all day long, so I went to bed."
"The time I can squeeze out is only more than an hour in the morning and evening."
Yamazaki smiled and said: "That's the key. If you don't point it out, it won't make sense."
"What?"
"Pranayama and breathing are not meditation exercises."
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, as long as you can control your breathing, you can breathe in and out when doing anything."
"Ah?" Ding Lei was stunned and suddenly understood.
Yamazaki said seriously: "I won't teach you how to control it. Just think about it slowly. This is also a process and will be good for your practice."
"What I can tell you is that external strength is a summary of ancient people's battles on the battlefield, combined with internal strength."
"Inner Qi is a by-product of ancient people's study of breathing and immortality. Inhaling and exhaling is the source of life."
"The most basic internal strength is breathing and breathing. All internal skills are evolved from breathing and breathing."
"Exhalation, breathing, breathing, and the big and small Zhou Tian are the general outline of the world's internal strength!"
Ding Lei was inspired and bowed to worship, "Thank you for your advice!"
"Take good care of my home."
"I will."
…
Yamazaki did not stay at Guanhong Pavilion, but went down the mountain after walking around for a while.
Back to the inn, I looked at Shandai to prevent her from talking nonsense.
After a lazy day's rest, Shandai and I went to the castle for dinner in the evening.
After dinner, I was called by the old lady to go to the side hall to talk. I received a new task, which was still to deliver letters.
I won’t go into details, but I’ll pick up the letter tomorrow.
…
Yamazaki was speechless, everyone said sending letters was easy.
It took more than two months to send the last letter, and it was a close call.
As soon as I got home, before I could run away, I was assigned to deliver a letter again.
Really, when will this be possible?
…
The next morning.
Yamazaki entered the castle again and went to the lobby. He thought the old lady was there, but she was not there. Instead, it was the castle owner, the eldest lady, the second lady, and his adoptive mother Tian Xin.
Yamazaki suddenly started to sweat. What was going on in such a big battle? And it was all weird.
The castle owner frowned, the eldest lady looked coldly, the second lady looked playful, and the adoptive mother Tian Xin looked at her.
This letter is 10% more troublesome than the last time!
Thinking so, Yamazaki Yili greeted them one by one respectfully.
"Okay." The castle master raised his hand and motioned for the eldest lady to come.
The eldest lady called the maid next to her and presented her with a set of blue brocade clothes.
"Here are some new clothes for you, try them on."
"Yes, thank you ma'am."
Having said that, Yamazaki is sweating even more. Is this packaged and ready to be sold?
As Yamazaki took off his clothes, everything in his waist was placed on the table.
The concealed weapon bag, medicine bag, and money bag were all exposed, but none of them were exposed.
Yamazaki changed into new clothes and they seemed to fit her quite well.
The four elders nodded together and put on beautiful clothes, which just made them feel better.
The second lady smiled and said: "Just wear this, don't lose the face of our Shanjiabao."
Yamazaki greeted, "Yes, Erniang."
Tian Xin, the adoptive mother, presented the banknote, "This is one hundred taels of silver, take it."
"Thank you, mother." Yamazaki stepped forward and took it with both hands.
The castle owner sent the letter, "Okay, here is the letter for you. This is the map address. When you get to the place, I will say hello to Brother Luo."
"Yes, Dad." Yamazaki took the letter with both hands.
"Okay, go ahead and don't delay on the road. It's only over a hundred miles and we must arrive this afternoon."
"yes."
…
Yamazaki bowed and walked away, looking at the map after leaving the door.
It turned out that we were going to Luojiazhuang in the east, located at the foot of the mountain outside Jinhe City, more than a hundred miles away.
In other words, he is a landlord who retired to martial arts.
Yamazaki thought about it as he walked, but he really couldn't figure out why he should be allowed to go.
All I can think of is that my eldest brother’s wedding is approaching, so I need to send invitations and the like.
…
In the lobby.
When Yamazaki walked away, Tian Xin saluted the castle master and thanked him for arranging Yamazaki's marriage.
The fort master waved his hand, "Whether this matter can be accomplished or not depends on Brother Luo."
The eldest lady said: "You go down first."
"Yes." Tian Xin bowed to everyone and then withdrew.
She knew that there were many things hidden from her in the castle, but she knew they were all beyond her control, so it would be better not to let her know than to let her know.
And she will also be told things that should be known to her, such as Yamazaki's marriage.
In this way, she is happy to worry about nothing.
…
The other side.
Yamazaki went back to the restaurant to find Shandai and took her with him to deliver the letter to avoid being caught by the imperial spies along the way.
Although he can handle ordinary experts, he can't handle it when there are more people.
Shandai was also bored, so she agreed without hesitation.
The two packed up their packages, took out eight horses and set off on the road.
