"The mountain chief is indifferent to fame and fortune. After many hardships, he and the princess were able to get together and get married. He thought he would return to the academy..." Jiang Qiubai paused, thoughtful for a moment, and suddenly felt happy: "Now I am writing a book to persuade you.
It should be possible to recruit female students..."
"Uncle Master, did you say it was because of Princess Ma?" Guo Rong thought in his mind.
"I'm just guessing that the mountain chief accepted Mu Yun as a female disciple because of the princess." Jiang Qiubai nodded, "Now that the princess comes back, there should be a lot of work to recruit female students.
hope."
Jiang Qiubai didn't know that after Chu Nanfeng got married, he took Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun to Yunzhou to look for Mu Daocheng.
Guo Rong said happily: "That's very good. I will go and repair the book immediately." After saying that, he got up and went to the study.
Jiang Qiubai looked at Guo Rong's leaving figure, smiled, and said to Xiang You: "Have you ever met this Miss Lin? How does she look like?"
Shang You didn't know what he meant for a moment. He was startled for a moment and responded: "This disciple met him once at Commander Lin's house two years ago. In terms of appearance, it can be said that he has an average appearance."
Jiang Qiubai nodded and said with a smile: "You must be twenty-four years old this year, right? You should also have plans to start a family."
Shang You suddenly realized something and couldn't help but blush, but for a moment he didn't dare to answer. Jiang Qiubai chuckled softly, "Daughters of the Jianghu, love comes from fate... If you are destined, don't miss it, huh?"
"Disciple, I understand." Shang You replied. He thought that he must have made a mistake. Miss Lin went to Taibai Academy, but he was in Chanzhou. How could they get along with each other.
"Today's sage, Rende, has the ambition to unify the world, but it is difficult to find talented people, so he specially asked you to pay attention to cultivating them. He also attaches great importance to the disciples of the academy. Last time he asked for Wu, the two masters of Hua agreed and let some disciples go to Yaowang Valley to learn.
Medical skills... For Junior Brother Chang, Junior Brother Meng and others, when they are successful in their studies, I also intend to let them serve as officials to help the nobles."
"They are still young at this time. Even if there are older students, if they join the army, it will take some time to adapt to the rules of the army, let alone the essentials of marching and formation. You have experience in leading troops, I want to
You go to the academy now and teach them marching and fighting skills so that they can quickly integrate in the future... What do you think?" Jiang Qiubai said with a smile.
Shang You did not expect Jiang Qiubai to have such an arrangement, but he wanted to be able to return to the academy to teach his students how to march and fight. He was very willing in his heart. He was overjoyed and said, "It's just that my disciples are not capable enough. I'm afraid I won't be qualified..."
Jiang Qiubai smiled and waved his hand, "You just have to do your best. Don't forget that your martial master and the others are also retired people."
Shang You was stunned and then delighted when he heard this, "This disciple is so stupid, how could he forget his master and the others?"
Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing were also heroes on the battlefield back then. If they were willing to lend support, even Shang You himself would benefit a lot.
At this time, Guo Rong had already written the letter and came to the hall. When he heard Jiang Qiubai's arrangement for Shang You to go to the academy, he nodded in agreement, "Master's arrangement is very reasonable.
When the empresses enter the officialdom, all of them will surely become my powerful generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, haha..."
He was thirsty for talents, and he longed for the academy students to serve the court. After laughing, he said: "Junior Brother Shang will go to Jingnan with Lin Yi tomorrow, and will take his daughter and other people who want to study there."
Academy, I will immediately send someone to the academy with some silver to help pay for the daily training expenses of Junior Master Uncle and the others..."
As the saying goes, striking while the iron is hot, Guo Rongdan wanted to send the silver to the academy again. Wu Wangbo and others, who originally wanted their students to serve the court, would probably agree to Shang You's return to the academy.
Shang You was overjoyed and hurriedly took the letter edited by Guo Rong to the city inn to meet Lin Yi, who was waiting for a reply. After briefly describing the process, the two rushed to Jingnan overnight.
Eight days later, in the hall in the front yard of Taibai Academy, after Wu Wangbo listened to Shang You's explanation of why he came to the academy, he opened the letter sent by Guo Rong in his hand, read it once, handed it to Hua Qianxing who was sitting next to him, and smiled.
He said to Shang You: "I haven't seen you for five or six years, but you have gone from the Solid Yuan Realm to the ultimate attainment of True Return. Haha, you are really working hard. Not bad, not bad."
Wu Wangbo looked at Shang You who was blushing but did not dare to answer, and said: "Girls from wealthy families are mostly not allowed to appear in public, so they all go to private schools to study at home. But the poor people...hehe, when we first entered the academy,
When we were established, we also let girls from surrounding people’s homes come to study and receive education. Unfortunately, when they were eleven or twelve years old, they were all left at home by their parents to help with housework. How easy is it to run a girls’ school?”
"Poor people...well, it's not easy for their children to study for a year and a half." After reading the letter, Hua Qianxing continued: "The nearby villages within ten miles or eight miles are easy to come and go, even if they are far away.
We don’t charge tuition fees, and we don’t have money to pay for food.”
Since Taibai Academy was founded, it has actually been unable to make ends meet. It relies on secret funding from Tongbao Pavilion to survive. The students of the academy are not aware of this difficulty.
Wu and Hua said something touching, but Shang You felt uneasy, fearing that they would refuse to accept Lin Yi's daughter who had come with him.
Wu Wangbo looked at Shang You, who had a nervous look on his face, and smiled, "Miss Lin's father is kind to you. Qiu Bai and Jun Gui also wrote letters of recommendation. Master, I will decide to stay and wait for the mountain leader."
I’ll make a decision after I get back...what do you think?”
Shang You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but wanted to settle down first, so he hurriedly said: "But it depends on Master Wu's arrangement."
"About the students who, after studying literature and martial arts, followed Shang You in marching and fighting..." Wu Wangbo paused and looked at Hua Qianxing, "What do you think, Brother Hua?"
Hua Qianxing chuckled, "Shang You hasn't arrived yet, but Jun Gui's silver was sent to the academy. Is it possible that it needs to be returned?"
"This gentleman..." Wu Wangbo also smiled to himself, "After the elder Shan got married, I had a conversation with him... I didn't object to the students serving in the court, but I was afraid that the students would have disagreements about the ownership of the country.
, currently they only approve of students from the Central Plains becoming officials. However, due to the influence, many students recognize the Great Zhou Dynasty as orthodox... Haha, this is unexpected!"
"More than twenty students have come one after another from this section of Jingnan..." Wu Wangbo hesitated and looked at Shang You, "After your uncle Jiang left, the academy also lost helpers. You just happened to be here?"
Teach students, and at the same time don’t miss out on training soldiers, haha..."
But after hearing that Wu Wangbo was the same, Shangyou was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you two masters."
Wu Wangbo nodded, "You will first settle the disciples who came with you to study. Oh, wait... You said that Miss Lin also practiced martial arts. What kind of training did she have?"
"Miss Lin has reached the point where she has returned to her true nature and achieved success."
"Oh?" Wu Wangbo frowned, "She entered Guizhen Xiaocheng at the age of seventeen, and she is a good candidate for martial arts. You call her here..."
Shang Youdan was overjoyed when he heard Wu Wangbo's compliment. He ran out of the hall before he finished speaking. After a while, he came in with a beautiful girl with her hair in a double bun and wearing a dark purple skirt.
Following Shang You's introduction, the girl bowed to Wu and Hua gracefully: "Wan Zhen has met Master Wu and Master Hua."
Wu Wangbo looked at her for a moment, looked at her face with delicate features, nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Wan Zhen, I wonder who you studied under?"
"When my father was not an official in the army, he traveled around the world and made friends with many heroes. Wan Zhen was influenced by him since he was a child, so he also liked martial arts. Following my father and his uncles, he learned some east and west moves..."
In today's troubled times, the so-called heroes who travel around the world are mostly those who rob families and rob their homes. Wu and Hua also learned from Shang You about Lin Yi's actions in his early years. They knew that Lin Yi was not a bad person who bullied good people, so they did not
After rejecting Lin Wanzhen's admission to study, and hearing that she spoke appropriately, the two of them felt better.
Wu Wangbo smiled slightly: "You are so young, it is not easy for you to step into the realm of returning to your true nature. I think it is the reason why you study hard and practice hard... The academy is not a martial arts sect, and there is no taboo about apprenticeship with teachers, but it also pays attention to respecting teachers.
As a courtesy, are you here to practice essays or martial arts?"
It is said that literature does not come first and martial arts does not come second. If a martial arts practitioner wants to change his sect and become a disciple of another, he must obtain the consent of the original master, but there is no such thing in studying writing. Lin Wanzhen also heard what Wu Wangbo said.
In response, he said: "Wan Zhen came to study this time. My father and uncles strongly agree, but I am afraid that the academy will think that Wan Zhen is stealing art..."
Wu Wangbo and Hua Qianxing looked at each other with approval on their faces, presumably because they admired Lin Wanzhen's honesty. Wu Wangbo stroked his silver beard and said with a smile: "What a steal, okay, I'm sorry.
With your words, I will wait for the princess to return and ask her to accept you as her disciple and also be a companion for Xiao Muyun, haha..."
Shang You didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he couldn't help but beam with joy. Before Lin Wan could say her true thanks, he bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master, for your success."
Naturally, Lin Wanzhen didn't know that the princess Wu Wangbo mentioned was the mountain chief's wife, Ma Xilan, but when she saw Shang You beaming, she guessed that the princess must have great martial arts skills, so she hurriedly saluted and thanked her.
Not long after three days, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the academy. Luo Xiaoyao jumped out of the carriage. Uncle Yuan in the concierge heard the sound and came out and hurriedly greeted him.
"There is wine in the car, please, Uncle Yuan, ask someone to unload it into the cellar." Luo Xiaoyao hurriedly walked into the academy as he spoke.
He said goodbye to Taoist Tan that day and returned to Fangzhou to visit Luo Hanshui. He happened to have a batch of "Returning Drunk" brewed, so he brought it to Taibai Academy.
In the north room of the backyard, Wu Wangbo, who was playing chess with Hua Qianxing, was slightly surprised when he saw Luo Xiaoyao arriving. Wu Wangbo put down the chess pieces in his hand, smiled and said to Luo Xiaoyao, who was bowing to meet him: "You're back,
Where are your master and the others?"
"Master and Master are on the island of Fairy Lake..." Luo Xiaoyao took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Wu Wangbo, "This is the handwritten letter from Master to Master..."
"Oh?" Wu Wangbo took the letter, looked at Luo Xiaoyao with melancholy eyes, hesitated for a moment, opened the envelope and took out the letter paper to read. After just reading a few lines, his expression changed drastically, and his expression suddenly became serious. Hua Qian beside him
When Xing saw this, he felt something was wrong, so he approached Wu Wangbo and watched together.
After reading the content of the letter, the two looked at each other. Hua Qianxing stared at her eyes and exclaimed in shock: "Negative Love Gu? There are such evil insects in the world..."
Luo Xiaoyao's heart sank, but listening to Hua Qianxing's tone, he thought he didn't know the origin of the 'negative love Gu', and the glimmer of hope he held in his heart was shattered. In a daze, he only heard Wu Wangbo say: "Xiaoyao, please tell me the details
Tao Lai..."
Luo Xiaoyao calmed down and told Wu and Hua what happened. In the letter, Chu Nanfeng only mentioned the toxicity and consequences of the "negative love Gu", but Luo Xiaoyao learned from Xiao Yanbei.
When they talked about death, they heard the two of them look at each other in shock and anger. After a long time, Wu Wangbofang said: "You mean Liu Gongwen, the evil guy, died after leaving his home? Do the mountain chief and the others know?"
"That day, the disciple was afraid that Uncle Xiao's death would injure Master Mu even more, so he never told Master Mu..." Luo Xiaoyao shook his head, "Later, when Master and Master Mu went to capture the poisonous scholar, the disciple killed Liu Thief.
I informed my wife, I think master must know about this..."
Wu Wangbo nodded and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect such a change in the Tao. The toxicity of this 'negative emotion poison' confuses people's consciousness, and Mu Yun's own perseverance is particularly important... The mountain chief uses yin and yang to complement each other.
The method of treatment should be correct, so you don’t need to worry about Xiaoyao."
Wu and Hua had learned from Chu Nanfeng's letters that Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun were in love, so naturally they expressed their condolences.
"I'll make some arrangements for the academy and go to Moforget Island." Wu Wangbo looked at Qianxing Duihua and said, "Nanfeng is going to pass on the position of mountain chief to Zhenghua. What do you think about this?"
It turned out that Chu Nanfeng's letter also mentioned resigning from the post of headmaster of the academy. Luo Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, but he thought that his master and his wife had gone through many hardships to get together, and now they wanted to live in seclusion on the island and spend their whole lives together.
I suddenly agreed in my heart.
"After Nanfeng and the princess were overjoyed, they already had this intention... Just say that a few years ago, if you and I hadn't forced each other, Nanfeng would not have accepted the position of mountain chief. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is not on good terms with the princess.
It's easy to get together, and if you want to hide in Moforget Island, it may be difficult to persuade him. Brother Wu, it will be useless for you to go." Hua Qianxing thought that Wu Wangbo rushed to Moforget Island to persuade Chu Nanfeng to take back his resignation.
Act of.
Wu Wangbo sighed and said sadly: "You think I'm an old fool. I support Nanfeng's retirement now. Alas, Wu just wanted to pay homage to Mr. Yi... Let's take a look at Xiao Muyun's injuries.
.”
Hua Qianxing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Brother, please give Hua a glass of wine to Mr. Yi. After completing what Nanfeng told him, Hua will go to pay homage..."
Luo Xiaoyao was confused after hearing this. He didn't know what the master told Hua Qianxing to do in the letter. In his confusion, he saw Wu Wangbo's body flashing and heading towards the front yard. Suddenly he heard a burst of copper.
The sound of the gong sounded.
The gong was used to recruit students from the academy. Luo Xiaoyao had already guessed that Wu Wangbo was going to announce the replacement of the mountain chief. He was about to get up and meet in the front yard when he heard Hua Qianxing say: "You already know about the change of the mountain chief."
If you have something to do, there is no need to go and go with Master to take a walk around Baxiantai."
Luo Xiaoyao didn't know what he meant, but he didn't dare to ask. He had no choice but to follow Hua Qian as he walked out of the hall, and saw more than ten students filing in through the courtyard gate leading to the back mountain valley. Shang You was among them, and he was followed by others.
A beautiful girl.
Shang You looked surprised, "Senior brother, are you back?"
However, Meng Xiaohu and Chang Shan rushed to the side to say hello, "Brother Xiaoyao, when did you come back?"
"I just returned to the academy." Luo Xiaoyao was also very surprised to see Shang You.
But I know that the rules of the academy are very strict. The assembly gong sounds. Without permission, students must put aside everything and gather in the front yard. Moreover, Hua Qianxing is by his side right now. Shang You and others did not dare to stay after saying hello.
Run to the front yard.
Hua Qianxing led Luo Xiaoyao to Baxiantai. It was midwinter. Although it was not snowing yet, we saw white snow and rock and ice sculptures along the way. When we reached the top of the peak, the surrounding clouds looked like surging sea waves.
In the cold wind howling, Hua Qianxing clasped his hands behind his back, looked up at the unpredictable sky for a moment, then turned to Luo Xiaoyao and said: "The practice of martial arts is determined by the strength of the human soul. For example, a little tiger is good at physical strength,
Practicing Qi with strength, Changshan's soul is sensitive and uses the mind to gather Qi. One of the two Qi machines is hard and the other is soft. After cultivating to the state of returning to the true state, if you want to break through the state again, you must find the way of femininity and softness in the extreme hardness.
Only by understanding the method of masculinity, combining hardness and softness, balancing yin and yang in the body, can you be reborn, like a silkworm breaking out of a cocoon, and then you can reach the next level."
"But to break the shackles of Kung Fu, it takes a lot of time every time you cross the border. With the same Kung Fu, some people who practice martial arts are stuck in the Solid Yuan realm and cannot step into the threshold of returning to true nature for the rest of their lives, while some practice to the Yuan state.
Baby, the golden body is completed..."
He paused for a moment and walked slowly, saying as he walked: "And you have the roots of spiritual and physical cultivation. The yin and yang energy in your body complement each other, and you can get the essence of all learning... If you put water into water, you can not distinguish between the pure and the turbid.
, If the fire is the same as the fire, you can not distinguish its brightness and get its beauty by yourself."
After saying this, he suddenly became angry, turned around and punched Luo Xiaoyao who was about ten feet away.
Luo Xiaoyao was caught off guard and was shocked. With a flick of his consciousness, the Qi of the "Taizhu Heart Sutra" was spontaneously generated. At the same time, he used Bairou Palm's "Sink Stone into the Sea", and there was a muffled "sudden" sound, and the fists and palms met.
He reacted very quickly, and was also shaken by Hua Qianxing's 70% power. He retreated continuously. The peak was covered with thick ice. As he retreated, he couldn't stop his feet. He continued to retreat and slid six feet away.
Stay in shape.
The blood in my heart was boiling, but I heard Hua Qianxing say: "Shape follows shape, Qi returns to Qi, Shen follows Shen, and Yin and Yang follow their own path..."
At this moment, Luo Xiaoyao suddenly understood that Chu Nanfeng's purpose of writing books to Wu Wangbo was to let his master Hua Qianxing sharpen his martial arts.
When Chu Nanfeng was on Moforget Island, he saw that Luo Xiaoyao had reached the peak of his spiritual consciousness and was on the verge of breaking through. However, considering that Xiao Muyun was poisoned by a poisonous insect, he expected that he would not be able to calm down and break through.
Knowing that Luo Xiaoyao's dual-cultivation physique can be counterproductive under the pressure of fighting with others, he asked him to go back to the academy and let Hua Qianxing train him so that he could achieve perfect spiritual consciousness and enter Baodan.
The situation will fall into place naturally.
Hua Qianxing practices the Dachang Boxing, which is famous for its fierceness. Its powerful Qi can naturally suppress people's spiritual reactions. For Luo Xiaoyao, it is the best whetstone.
Luo Xiaoyao thought about what Hua Qianxing said, which was to let his body, energy, and spirit keep their respective positions, and enter the state of transformation, so that the form, energy, and spirit can be unified. He also recalled what Taoist Tan said, 'If you can't keep it, you can't let it go.
If you don't lose it, your mind will be concentrated and you will stand still.
But when he saw Hua Qianxing bullying him, Dachang punches came one after another. He tried his best to dodge, but did not fight back. Unable to avoid it, he took action to block it. After being knocked down by Hua Qianxing,
, they climbed up and fought each other again until they were exhausted, and then they went down the mountain and returned to the hospital. This practice continued for five days.
From the sixth day onwards, like a peasant with no martial arts skills, Dan started to attack with his palms or fists. This kind of random attack without any structure, naturally he was unable to take even one of Hua Qianxing's moves.
He seemed to be unaware of the pain. He fell down and got up to attack without evading. As a result, his face was hit by the fist, causing his nose and face to be bruised and swollen. After returning to the academy, all the students were confused and surprised.
Five days later, he changed his method again. He used all he had learned to deal with Hua Qianxing's attack and used every move, but he still only defended but did not attack. After ten days of such sparring, Hua Qianxing was in the realm of Baodan Dacheng.
Under the pressure of Xing Xing, he was able to take thirty moves without losing.
In the evening of this day, Hua Qianxing, who had come down from the mountain after sparring with Luo Xiaoyao, had just changed his clothes from the dormitory to the hall to have tea, but when he saw Wu Wangbo returning, he laughed and said, "Just now, I was thinking about my brother.
, Haha, just to see you back...oh, how is little Muyun doing?"
Wu Wangbo shook his head, glanced at Hua Qianxing who looked concerned, walked to the chair on his left and sat down, sighing: "Alas, Nanfeng and Brother Mu found the Gu insect at its weakest moment... but not yet.
And half a cup of tea."
"Oh?" Hua Qianxing saw the worried look on his face and asked suspiciously: "With their skills, they can handle it, right?"
"This gu lurks in the heart, and the evil spirit reacts sharply... Nanfeng is not sure yet, and said he would wait until the middle of the month to try..." Wu Wangbo paused and asked: "Xiaoyao, he
How was your practice?"
"This boy has extraordinary enlightenment. He kept his mind for the past few days, lost his form, and then returned to Qi. Now he is able to realize that his consciousness is not blind to the reality, and his shape and Qi are unified... Even if I deliberately expose a flaw, I will not fight back, but
Just taking the blow and forcing the veins to expand is already a big gain, and it can make him condense his elixir."
"Oh?" Wu Wangbo was overjoyed, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is it feasible for you to observe his current state of mind?"
"He is a body of dual cultivation. Now he has reached great perfection. His spiritual consciousness has entered the realm of indifference. External factors can no longer affect him... and once the inner breath enters the mind, there will be no disturbance. As long as he is given an hour to attract the essence
Blood fusion, fetal elixir can be achieved..."
Seeing the hesitation on Wu Wangbo's face, Hua Qianxing added: "He has the ability to break through situations in battle, so there is no need to worry about going too far and becoming a demon. Even if he fails, it will not hinder his cultivation..."
Wu Wangbo thought that what Hua Qianxing said was true. Luo Xiaoyao was a dual-cultivation physique, and the yin and yang energy was endless. When the state of yin and yang was broken, the state of yin and yang was fleeting... Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "
Then let him go to the cave in the back mountain to practice entry."
After coming down the mountain from practicing, Luo Xiaoyao was sitting in meditation in the wooden house on the east side. When he heard Meng Xiaohu running to inform Wu Wangbo of his return, he rushed to the hall like flying.
"Xiaoyao has met Master." Looking at Wu Wangbo, Luo Xiaoyao looked excited, "Master, has he found the weakest moment of the Gu insect?"
Wu Wangbo nodded and said with a smile: "It is at three quarters of noon on a full moon day."
Luo Xiaoyao was overjoyed, but thinking that he had been away from the island for more than thirty days, and that the second full moon would be in five or six days, he couldn't help but become nervous.
Wu Wangbo noticed his ups and downs in mood, stroked his silver beard, and said slowly: "Your master and brother Mu will find ways to deal with it, so you don't have to worry too much... Now I'll watch your mind and energy flow."
As we approach perfection, do you have any thoughts of entering the country?"
Seeing his serious expression, Luo Xiaoyao restrained himself. Before answering, he listened to Wu Wangbo's words: "For those who enter the martial arts, the most important thing is when they enter the golden body. From the time when they are in the Mingqiao Valley, they are like a tree branching out.
When you are at the top of Mingqiao Mountain, it is said to have deep roots and luxuriant leaves... When you enter the threshold of the golden body, it is like bearing fruit, condensing the soul of the soul and generating the 'divine realm' magical power."
