Chapter 3 It’s hard to tell the hidden front of Yu Zang
Luyuan is the garden villa residential area for the disciples of the Jin Dynasty royal family.
It leads to Qingxi Bridge in the south and Yanque Lake in the east. It is surrounded by lush water and trees, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. The green tiles and red ridges stretch out and are antique.
The residences of Gao Qingyue, the great Sima, the great general, the crown prince, and the head of Bailu Academy were located here. This was the first and only official of the Jin Dynasty to be granted a royal garden villa.
Ning Xiaoxiang, holding a food box in his hand, stood in front of the gate of Gaofu and greeted old man Hu, the disciple, familiarly.
"Master Ning, are you here to visit the General again?" Old Hu was a tall man with a powerful voice. He was originally Gao Qingyue's personal soldier. He suffered injuries from battles in his early years and stayed in the General's Mansion as a disciple.
"In front of you, I am just a young boy. How can I be an adult? I owe you this old jade ginseng. If you eat it, you will be invincible and have endless descendants!" Ning Xiaoxiang offered the jade ginseng with a smile. See.
The sweet and spicy ginseng fragrance spread through the red silk cloth. Old man Hu felt refreshed when he smelled it. His blood heated up and he cried out: "Good stuff! Didn't it cost a lot?"
Ning Xiaoxiang said sternly: "What is it worth for a mere dead thing? Those few battle-fighting fists you taught me before are much more valuable than this thing."
"Thank you for still remembering the old story about Chen Sesame and Rotten Millet." Old Man Hu patted Ning Xiaoxiang on the shoulder with emotion and lowered his voice, "Go in and pay attention. The general is not in a good mood. The old lady has been ill again these days. ."
Gao Qingyue's mother suffered from madness and had frequent seizures. Ning Xiaoxiang also knew about this. He thanked Old Man Hu and was led by a guard into the house to see Gao Qingyue.
The sunny courtyard is quiet and luxuriant with flowers and trees. The high moon stands in the whirling light and shadow, and the flowers are pruned leisurely. The moon-white coat reveals a soft brilliance.
Ning Xiaoxiang leaned over and bowed deeply, standing respectfully by the side, saying nothing, waiting patiently.
Under the bright sunshine, Gao Qingyue's slender fingers were as white as jade and spotless. With two fingers pinched gently, the rose branches covered with barbs fell silently. He moved calmly and elegantly, and his fingers weaved through the dense flowers. , like a fish gliding gracefully in the water.
Ning Xiaoxiang held his breath and watched attentively. The supreme master of Lianxuhe Tao practiced, no longer limited to meditation and breath control. Every move in life penetrated the skills and polished the Taoist heart. Gao Qingyue pruning flowers and trees seemed ordinary. , in fact, it contains the charm of Taoism and deeply explores the mysterious principles of heaven and man.
Gao Qingyue's fingers seemed to be fast and slow, and the scattered branches and leaves fell to the ground one after another. The sunlight penetrated through the dense and dense rose branches and leaves, and overflowed. The light and flower shades were dappled and intertwined beautifully, increasing by a factor makes them more dense. , reduce it by one part to make it lighter.
"Okay!" Ning Xiaoxiang couldn't help but cheer softly.
Gao Qingyue stopped her hand and glanced at Ning Xiaoxiang: "What's so good about it?"
"The student was so happy that he lost his temper and disturbed the teacher's practice. I hope you will forgive me." Ning Xiaoxiang bowed solemnly and said, "If the sun is regarded as the sky and the earth, and the roses are regarded as monks, the teacher's actions should be to explore heaven and man.
The way of unity. Through the teacher's skillful hands, this rose bush not only shows its own graceful and colorful, bold and interesting, but also fits the sunlight projection, swaying and shadowing, complementing each other and interacting with each other."
He took a few steps forward, pointed at the rose bush and said: "If students are asked to cut the branches now, there is no way to start. Cutting off any branches and leaves will destroy the blend of light and shadow. It can be seen that the teacher has not pruned too much or too little, just right.
It shows the perfect scene of the unity of heaven and man."
"Perfect? It's still far from it." Gao Qingyue shook her head, "Look again."
The sun gradually moves in the clear sky, the light changes, and the rose bushes become mixed with light and shadow. Some places are densely covered with light, and some places appear to be omitted. The places facing the light are too bright, and the places in the shade are too dark. It is no longer the same as before.
A perfect and wonderful gesture.
"Let the heaven and earth move, and the wonderful scenery will always be perfect." Gao Qingyue sighed softly, broke off a bright red rose that was about to bloom, and shook it with her hand. In an instant, the light and shadow trembled, the density changed, and the flowers bloomed again.
Give birth to a lot of fun.
Ning Xiaoxiang thought for a moment and suddenly said: "The students have been taught."
Gao Qingyue smiled: "You have made great achievements in practice in the past few years. You must have learned a lot about the secret scriptures of Kung Fu."
Ning Xiaoxiang's heart skipped a beat. This sentence seemed to be referring to something. Could it be that his secret murder and robbery was leaked? He glanced at it calmly, looking at the moon in a leisurely manner, holding a rose in front of his nose.
, I took a gentle sniff, but there was no clue on my face.
"Speaking of which, students would also like to thank those spies from various countries and races. When the Tianluo Guards arrested and tortured them, they found out many strange skills and methods." Ning Xiaoxiang replied with a calm expression. He made it with his own hands and feet.
It is very clean, and Tianluowei is under control, so the possibility of mistakes is very slim.
Gao Qingyue put down the flower branch: "What you practice is the Contingency Furnace Fist. You can only achieve great success by learning from everyone's strengths. It's a pity that you come from a poor family and it's hard for you to understand the true secrets of the Taoist sect. I can't teach you privately, otherwise your progress will be endless."
Here it is."
"It is a great blessing for students to be able to worship under the teacher. The teacher's guidance in the academy in the past cannot be dared or forgotten by the little elephant. Without the teacher's support, how could the career of the little elephant be so smooth?" Ning Xiao
Onomatopoeia expressed with emotion, "My teacher's rebirth of love, and my parents, I can't help but burst into tears every time I think about it." As he spoke, even his eyes became faintly red.
Gao Qingyue looked at him deeply: "You chose the road, and you walked on it. You chose well, walked well, and your Majesty promoted you well. What does it have to do with me? Don't mention this again in the future.
”
Ning Xiaoxiang bowed his head and said yes, and presented the rune-patterned food box: "This is Jinlingchun's shrimp fried eel noodles. The students remember that the teacher loved it the most." The rune-marked food box keeps fresh and hot, and is the same as when it was freshly cooked.
No different.
"You are interested." Gao Qingyue nodded slightly and asked casually, "How are Shui Longyin and the others doing their investigation?"
Shuilongyin is a newly emerging secret organization in recent years. Most of them are from poor families and are of commoner background. They specialize in robbing and killing the children of rich families and secretly preaching such fallacies as equality and justice. They are wanted by the imperial court and Taoist sects for offering rewards. Ning Xiaoxiang's heart skipped a beat again.
He looked ashamed: "The student is incompetent, and no clues have been found yet."
Gao Qingyue stared at him and smiled slightly: "If you are incompetent, wouldn't I be blind? The Mengyin Festival is coming soon, and the Yu clan is going to Beijing again. We can't cause trouble at this time, do you understand?"
"Yes." Ning Xiaoxiang replied respectfully. After Kong's vote was completed, he had ordered the Shuilongyin people to disperse and go away, and not to lurk out within a year.
The two chatted for a while, Gao Qingyue turned around, pruned the flowers and trees, and Ning Xiaoxiang resigned.
"If the flowers and trees grown grow wildly, the owner will always have to prune them. If they grow into disobedient weeds, they need to be uprooted." Gao Qingyue murmured to herself, using her fingers like scissors to climb up.
The rose branches on the wall suddenly broke off.
Ning Xiaoxiang raised his head and saw Gao Qingyue's meaningful eyes, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, worrying about gains and losses.
Is Gao Qingyue implying that she went too far in clinging to His Majesty? Or did Shui Longyin really show his weakness?
In the Tingzhu Pavilion, Zhi Shouzhen lit up a piece of bamboo incense for purifying the heart, and thought hard about the method of condensing the sword embryo.
The structure of the human body is different from that of a carp. If he wants to form a sword fetus in the human world, he must start from scratch and modify the secret method of the carp.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xie Xuan of the Xie Mansion, Miss Wang Liangmi of the Royal Mansion, and Mr. Pan Anren of the Pan Mansion are here to ask for an audience." Qiu Yue came in to report.
Zhi Shou was slightly startled, then suddenly realized: "Are you here for the Meng Yin Festival?"
Qiuyue said: "That should be the case. Has the prince forgotten? You, Xie Xuan, Wang Liangmi, and Pan Anren, as the heads of the aristocratic families, are going to lead the formation to pray to heaven on the Mengyin Festival."
Zhi Kaizhen's eyes flashed. On the Mengyin Festival, the most solemn thing is to announce the Taoist sect's pre-registration quota. As a younger generation of the Yuan family, he was selected into the list of four people to lead the prayers to heaven. I am afraid that it was the collusion of the Pan family.
A member of the Yuan family, he did it on purpose.
Only when he is praised high can he be thrown down hard. Most of the aristocratic families in Kyoto are waiting to see his joke.
