During these seven days, he had been shutting himself in the "Lizheng Palace" without leaving the house, and he didn't want to see anyone.
He still couldn't accept the reality in front of him. He, Li Zhi, the deputy director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of a Class A hospital in the 21st century, was in his prime and had a promising future, but his soul actually passed away?
He didn't know whether he in his previous life - let's call him that - eventually died or became a vegetative state. When his soul arrived here, it actually took over the body of a seven-year-old child?
This child is also called Li Zhi, or to be more precise, this child is the real Li Zhi.
That's right, it was Li Zhi, the third generation monarch of the Tang Dynasty, who was called Li Zhi by later generations as Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty.
With the weakest posture, he won the fierce battle for the inheritance and had the last laugh, but his most beloved woman usurped the power of the Li family.
In seven days, he completely absorbed the child's remaining memories, but unfortunately, there wasn't much content.
It seems that since he was born, he has never left this "Lizheng Palace"?
According to the history that Li Zhi knew, this child was the third son of Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou, the ninth oldest in the family, and his nickname was Pheasant Nu.
However, unlike the history he knew, it seems that there are really gods and Buddhas in this world?
Everyone can choose to practice literature or martial arts. It is not like the civil and martial arts shown in later generations, but real cultivation. Those who are successful in cultivation can defeat ten thousand with one, can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and can live longer.
It is said that martial arts practitioners can be divided into two realms: acquired and innate.
There are three levels of acquired realm.
"Ming Jin" must be practiced with rules and must not be easy. The movement of the body must be gentle and not surly. The rise and fall of the hands and feet must be in order and not scattered. The Boxing Sutra says: "The one who is square should correct it." This is what it means.
"Dark strength" means that the spirit of the practice should be stretched but not restrained, and the use should be flexible and lively but not stagnant. The Boxing Sutra says: "The round one should respond to the outside." This is what it means.
"Hua Jin" is practiced in which the whole body and limbs move, rise and fall, advance and retreat without applying force, and are exclusively used by divine will. Although it is used by divine will, the form and rules are still the same as the previous two types and cannot be changed.
Although the whole body is moving without exerting any effort, it cannot be completely without exertion. It is always under the penetrating ear of divine will.
The Boxing Sutra says: "Three turns and nine turns are one form." This is the meaning.
After the acquired realm, you can reach the innate realm through cultivation. The innate realm is relatively simple, and is only divided into "innate" and "tongshen", which are also called "innate warriors" and "martial arts and gods."
It is said that if a person reaches the stage of "martial arts and spiritual mastery", he can truly form an army by himself and destroy mountains.
As long as any country has the existence of a "martial arts master", other countries will not dare to easily covet it, as a deterrent like nuclear weapons in future generations.
When a person reaches the innate state, his lifespan can be hundreds to five hundred and fifty years; when he reaches the realm of divine connection, his lifespan can be extended by three hundred years.
In the Tang Dynasty today, there is only one person who is truly a martial arts master, and that is the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Sanyuan Li Jing and Li Yaoshi, one of the "Three Heroes of the Fengchen".
There are two other people who can be said to have reached the realm of "half-step martial arts to the gods".
One is Yuchi Gong, who is known as the "General in Soap Robe". Yuchi Gong is ten feet long, has a waist ten inches wide, and has a face like the bottom of a black pot. He is good at using two bamboo whips and has the courage of ten thousand men.
Yuchi Gong initially surrendered to Liu Wuzhou, King of Dingyang, and Liu Wuzhou named him a vanguard, but he was Li Tang's enemy.
This man captured three passes in the day, captured eight villages in the night, beheaded dozens of generals in a row, defeated Cheng Yaojin, and detained Li Shimin. His bravery was unparalleled.
After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he entered Tiance Mansion and participated in the pacification of Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai, Xu Yuanlang, etc., and made great achievements.
In the ninth year of Wude, he participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident and helped Li Shimin ascend the throne as emperor. He was awarded the title of General Youwuhou. Wu Guogong can be regarded as the number one thug under Li Shimin now.
The other one is Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao mentioned above.
Speaking of Qin Qiong's reputation and prestige, it can be regarded as second to none during the entire Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Qin Qiong, courtesy name Shubao, was born in Licheng, Qizhou. His ancestor was Qin Xu, the leading general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his father was Qin Yi, the commander-in-chief of Ma Mingguan, the military general of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The magic boxing Taibao, a general with two maces, a filial mother like Zhuan Zhu, a friend of Sai Mengchang, a yellow gelding horse riding on both sides of the Yellow River, a cooked copper mace that beat half of the sky in the three states and six prefectures of Shandong.
He has a great reputation in the world of martial arts, and he has great skills and eyes in the government.
His uncle was Luo Yi, the king of Beiping at that time, his uncle was Qiu Rui, the king of Changping in the Sui Dynasty, and his adoptive father was Yang Lin, the pillar patron of the Sui Dynasty.
In the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong was the benefactor who saved Li Yuan's family, and became one of the most dazzling warriors in the Tang Dynasty with his martial arts.
The famous "three whips for two maces", when it comes to real kung fu, Qin Qiong is probably even better than Yu Chigong.
Unfortunately, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he gradually alienated Qin Qiong.
First of all, Qin Qiong is the most loyal and upright person. Such a person is rare in the world and in the military, but it is undesirable in the court.
Furthermore, Li Shimin first killed Shan Xiongxin, the "red-haired spiritual official", and then launched the "Xuanwu Gate Incident". After that, he continued to hunt down the heirs of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
All these behaviors are understandable from the standpoint of a monarch, but they are not something that people like Qin Qiong can accept from their hearts.
In addition, unlike Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong had great influence among a group of old Wagang generals. Even Li Shimin, who had a broad mind, was somewhat wary of this.
Simply, Qin Qiong gradually retired on the pretext of recovering from his injuries, and changed from the first-rank Yi Guogong to the third-rank General Zuo Wuwei.
Of course, during his half-life in the military, Qin Qiong mostly took the lead, but he also suffered from injuries and illnesses, and now he has completely turned into a sick tiger.
Just like martial arts training, literary practitioners also have similar classifications.
At this time, most of the literary revisionists were based on Confucianism.
Corresponding to the "Ming Jin", "Dark Jin", "Hua Jin", "Xiantian" and "Shentong" of martial arts, the realm of literary cultivation is "cultivation", "virtue", "gentleman", "establishing destiny" and "great Confucianism".
”.
"Cultivation of one's moral character" means cultivating one's body and mind, cultivating one's virtues, cultivating one's character, carrying blessings and bringing blessings, and cultivating one's body in a respectful and ethical way.
"Virtue" refers to writing for practical purposes. There are poems and books in the belly to act with virtue. A gentleman uses systems to measure and discuss virtue.
"Gentleman", ninety-three, a gentleman works hard all day long, is vigilant at night, and has no fault.
Cultivation is more difficult to advance than practicing martial arts. In addition to accumulation over time, it depends on talent and luck. Anyone who can reach the realm of "gentleman" is already a genius.
A gentleman does not act rashly, he must do so in a right way;
A gentleman does not speak in vain, but his words must be reasonable;
A gentleman is unscrupulous in what he asks for, and what he asks for will be justified;
A gentleman does not act in vain, and his actions must be righteous.
Naturally, the first three "cultivation", "virtue" and "gentleman" are acquired realms, while "establishing destiny" and "great Confucianism" are innate realms. Becoming a great Confucian can also lead to spiritual enlightenment.
Unfortunately, after the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, rituals and music collapsed, and literature and culture did not flourish.
Even people like Kong Yingda, the 31st grandson of Confucius, had only reached the realm of "half-step to great Confucianism", or "half-step to enlightenment, enlightenment, and enlightenment."
Kong Yingda was born in the fifth year of Wuping, the late ruler of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He went to school at the age of eight. He once learned from Liu Zhuo, recited a thousand words a day, read the classics and biographies well, and was good at poetry. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, he was selected as the "Ming Jing", awarded the doctorate of Hanoi County, and served as an assistant professor at Bu Taixue.
.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos, so people took refuge in Tiger Prison.
After entering the Tang Dynasty, he served as the imperial eunuch and served as a minister of wine. Under the orders of Li Shimin, he compiled the "Five Classics of Justice" and was one of the main lecturers in the Nan Study Room of the princes of the Li and Tang Dynasties.
It's a pity that such an alluring pursuit of literary and martial arts has nothing to do with Li Zhi. He was born with the legendary "Heavenly Leakage Body" and cannot store even a little bit of true energy.
Even if he takes a miraculous medicine or is given to him by outsiders, it will be like water passing through the veil, with no trace left.
In an era when everyone was practicing cultivation, this was the thing that had been criticized the most since he was a child, and it was also the most profound thing in his memory. At this time, Li Zhi didn't take it seriously.
Because, he felt two soft and warm breaths in his Dantian.
One is weak, it should be the internal power that the old eunuch Zhang Ananda lost to him, but the other is extremely strong, it seems to be sealed in the Dantian?
That was what Sun Simiao fed him. The internal force formed by the "Heart-Protect Pill" was actually a force of energy.
Li Zhi had a "heavenly leakage body", and all the acupuncture points all over his body were open. These two internal forces had nowhere to go, and they actually ran into his Dantian.
However, from the child's memory, Li Zhi clearly remembered that his Dantian was also a big colander. How could it be possible to store his internal energy?
When he thought about this problem, Li Zhi used a meditation method he had practiced in his previous life. He immediately looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and asked his heart through his mouth, trying to calm his heart down.
What surprised Li Zhi even more was that he could actually "see" his Dantian?
Within the Dantian, there are two internal forces, one yellow and one white.
The white one is thicker and very docile, while the yellow one is small but a bit "overbearing". The two refuse to give in to each other and seem to want to devour the other?
At this moment, the yellow and white internal forces suddenly seemed to feel fear?
Yes, fear, they all "trembled", and some even wanted to escape from Li Zhi's Dantian.
In another instant, these two streams of true energy disappeared. To be precise, they were sucked away by something hanging high in the sky above Dantian.
Is that a gun?
Even if it is a gun, it is a pocket-sized gun. It is as long and thick as a middle finger, but it disappears and appears sometimes. After absorbing these two infuriating energies, it seems a little clearer?
The "shameless and domineering" behavior of this pocket gun left Li Zhi speechless.
Knowing that this is a world where cultivation is possible, Li Zhi is still very confident to refine those two internal forces with the help of his "prophet" and the accumulation of those years in his previous life.
This is not a fool's errand, but the internal energy that has entered his body has been snatched away by this pocket gun.
By the way, where did this thing come from?
It seems, as if, there is no trace of this pocket gun in the memory of the child before?
When Li Zhi was feeling annoyed, a thick gray gas was emitted from the end of the pocket gun, gradually filling Li Zhi's Dantian, and then gradually traveled along Li Zhi's twelve main meridians, and then the eight extraordinary meridians.
In his previous life, he studied Chinese medicine and practiced various exercises for many years. Of course, Li Zhi had a little knowledge of the meridians and acupuncture points in the human body.
As the gray air spread over the body, the color gradually became lighter, from dark gray at the beginning to light gray later on.
What is this?
It robbed those two internal forces. Is this considered its excrement?
Li Zhi came up with such an idea for no reason.
And the pocket gun hanging high in his dantian seemed to be able to sense Li Zhi's thoughts, and it actually swayed slightly there.
Doesn't it seem like you are doing damage, but taking pleasure in others' misfortune?
It can be said that Li Zhi was in a very unhappy mood. Not only had he inexplicably traveled to this place, but he also felt that he had been insulted by the pocket gun in his dantian.
Unfortunately, he was powerless to do both.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is still the same "heavenly leakage body", but in fact, the meridians and acupuncture points in his body have been completely transformed.
It's just that Li Zhi didn't know.
What he didn't know even more was that the gray gas wandering around in his physical strength, which he mistakenly thought was the excrement from the pocket gun, was something that everyone in the world dreamed of, and that many people might not be able to possess after practicing for a lifetime.
…
"Ananda, is the pheasant slave still unwilling to go out?"
In the study room of the "Lizheng Palace", Li Shimin rubbed his somewhat swollen temples.
He was also a strong man in the innate realm, but after becoming the emperor, he inevitably slacked off in his martial arts practice.
More than ten years have passed, and Li Shimin is still at the elementary level of Xiantian. Compared with Zhang Ananda next to him, he is not even a little bit behind.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jin has been shutting himself in his room these past few days. However, his health should be better and his appetite has increased a lot. In the past two days, the imperial kitchen has sent twice as much food as before."
Zhang Ananda answered truthfully, he knew in his heart that even if he didn't say this, Li Shimin would know it.
In the hands of Li Shimin, there is a special power called "Li Jingmen".
No one knows how many people there are in "Li Jing Men", and no one knows what kind of people are in "Li Jing Men".
But people who have reached a certain level are convinced that that is the power Li Shimin really relies on, and can help him deal with some things that the civil and military officials of the dynasty cannot handle.
"Has the matter been cleared up? Why did Pheasant Slave go to the arsenal? Why is there no trace of the big rusty iron gun that the little eunuch next to Pheasant Slave confessed to?"
There was already a booklet on Li Shimin's desk. There was no signature on the cover, but Zhang Anan knew that it was something that even he, the chief eunuch, could not touch.
It was a report from the "Li Jingmen" to Li Shimin. The content was about the entire process before and after Li Zhi's injury. However, it failed to explain clearly where the big rusty iron gun went.
Such a result has not happened several times since the establishment of "Li Jingmen".
If I had to keep track of the number, it would probably be twice, and Li Zhi’s incident would be considered the third time.
"Your Majesty, the little eunuch beside King Jin was recommended by His Highness King Wei, but this little eunuch's brother is working in the Prince's Mansion, and... and I heard that this little eunuch had been to Shu the day before the incident.
In the palace of His Highness the King."
Even though he knew he was violating a taboo, Zhang Ananda could only bite the bullet and tell the truth about what he learned.
Because he knew very well that the people from the "Li Jing Sect" would definitely be able to find out these things.
Unfortunately, the young eunuch was already dead. He died on the third day after the incident in the room where he lived.
The conclusion given by Wu Zuo is - self-hanging, a perfect scene of hanging, and no trace of homicide was found.
"So, where is that big rusty iron gun?"
Li Shimin asked coldly, seemingly ignoring what Zhang Anan mentioned about his three precious sons.
"This old slave is incompetent and didn't find out the whereabouts of that big iron gun——"
Hearing Li Shimin's cold questioning, Zhang Anan was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the ground.
But Li Shimin was relieved.
The results reported by the "Li Jing Sect" are generally the same, and even the words of apology are almost the same.
"I am incompetent and did not find out the whereabouts of that big iron gun——"
