Baili Ming followed the others and walked forward. One person came closer and whispered: "Baili Road is friendly."
Bai Liming turned around and saw that it was Cui Bingwen who lived in "Zi No. 3" next door. The two had introduced each other when they went out in the morning, but they were both in a hurry to rush to the square and did not talk in depth. At this time, Bai Liming saw that he took the initiative to chat again.
Li Ming dared to be negligent and hurriedly returned the greeting: "Cui Dao is friendly." The two started chatting as they walked.
This Cui Bingwen has a dark complexion, a slightly fat body, a pair of sparkling eyes, and a well-spoken conversation that makes people feel like spring breeze. He also looks like a handsome young talent. Cui Bingwen is the third eldest child in the family, so there is a C character in his name. His father
He is also a disciple of the Kaiyang outer sect, and he became a disciple of Baili Xing five years earlier than his father.
The Cui family is also a merchant family. It runs a tea and wine business in Xining Town on the west bank of Kaiyang Lake. It also has close trade relations with Kaiyang Palace, which grows Xianming tea for Kaiyang. The same family background makes the two of them talk happily.
It feels like we are like old friends at first sight.
The two of them were walking in the middle of the team. Five or six people in front were surrounded by a handsome young man who was talking softly. The young man was the noble prince who met the girl in green shirt. He looked arrogant and looked calm, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.
However, he inadvertently revealed a sense of self-satisfaction with the stars holding the moon in his arms.
Just listen to what he said: "Destiny has its own destiny, and destiny has already been determined. As the saying goes: dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice are born to dig holes. Just like the eighteen people just now, a group of poor people can't even read.
It’s so sad that you still want to practice Taoism.”
A person next to him catered: "What the young prince said is absolutely true. They don't look at their origins and covet the path of cultivation. They are really wishful thinking. These people can learn some crafts in Kaiyang outer sect and return to their hometown to support their families. They are also considered ancestors.
The incense is burning high.”
"That's right, that's right." Everyone agreed.
At this time, someone asked: "But, I saw that the second son of Kaiyang County Governor was among those people. He had questioned a few words just now and was criticized on the spot by Han Jiaoyu..."
The noble prince, who was called the young prince, frowned and was a little displeased when he heard this. Seeing this scene, someone next to him immediately refuted: "Even if you have family background, if you are uneducated and have no skills, you are no different from the poor people and have no future at all."
The young prince's expression softened slightly and he returned to his calm demeanor. Just as he was about to continue his speech, he suddenly heard the little Taoist priest leading the group in front shout: "No noise."
The young prince had no choice but to swallow his words back in his stomach.
…
After everyone had eaten the morning meal, they rushed to the lecture hall.
The lecture hall is located in the central area of Longmen Island. It is also a concave-shaped courtyard surrounded by three-story pavilions, but it occupies a wider area. Each teaching building is more than enough to accommodate seventy or eighty people.
Entering the teaching building, everyone sat down behind the desk and waited for the class to start. After Bailiming sat down, he placed the four books distributed yesterday on the desk. He was closing his eyes and concentrating when there was a sudden "pop" sound.
Ming was startled.
Turning around, it turned out that someone had accidentally dropped the book on the ground while passing by. Bai Liming leaned over to pick up the book, raised his hand and handed it to the person who dropped the book. He was startled to see that it was the girl in the green shirt.
In a daze, the girl whispered: "Thank you, fellow Taoist." After saying that, she reached out to take the book and hurriedly walked back.
Bailiming finally regained his composure, took back his hand that was still hanging in the air, took a long breath, adjusted his mind that was slightly ups and downs, and waited for the class to start.
This class was about "General History of China" and was taught by an old scholar with a stooped figure and white hair and beard. The teacher in front of me seemed to be old and frail, but he taught the class with full energy and lingering voice.
For more than half an hour of class, the old scholar kept talking eloquently, from the creation of China, to the tyranny of the demons, to the birth of the seventh ancestor and the founding of the Taoist sect. When the seventh ancestor personally led three thousand disciples to defeat the demons, it was even more...
Tears streamed down his face with excitement, his whole body trembled, and his high-pitched voice reached into the sky.
The disciples here were slightly amused at first, then shocked, and finally infected by the atmosphere. When they heard that the demons were killing living beings and causing harm to the world, they all gritted their teeth and were filled with righteous indignation.
When they heard that the Seventh Patriarch came out of the mountain and fought against the demons, they clapped their hands and cheered. After the class, everyone also deeply understood the meaning of the saying "A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured by a fight."
At the end of the course, when Bai Liming was packing up his books, a gentle and soft voice came from behind him: "Fellow Taoist, thank you so much just now."
Bailiming turned around and saw the girl in green clothes. He quickly stood up and replied: "It's a small effort, not worth mentioning."
The girl smiled and said: "My name is Tan Zhenzhen, fellow Taoists can just call me Zhenzhen."
"Don't dare, don't dare. It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Tan. I'm in Baili Ming. Nice to meet you."
The girl suddenly whispered: "Fellow Taoist Baili, I have something to discuss. How about we meet on the east side of the woods behind the square after evening classes?"
Seeing the expectant look in the girl's eyes, Bai Liming nodded slightly panicked.
Then everyone went to the martial arts training ground to learn Taiyi Boxing. Han Jiaoyu explained the meaning of the boxing, and a young Taoist priest gave a demonstration.
While watching the disciples communicate, Han Jiaoyu explained in a loud voice: "Mana is like water, and the body is like a vessel. How much water can be held depends on the carrying limit of your body, so practice must be done at the same time as breathing and body refining.
"
"The Taiyi Quan method has a total of 7749 moves. It is not complicated. You can practice it step by step and practice the seven moves every day, and then use them continuously after seven days."
Han Jiaoyu reminded loudly: "Step on the Seven Stars, the energy sinks into the Dantian, the body should be relaxed and heavy; squat and walk lamely, walk staggeringly, hold the legs like a bow and stretch them steadily, and release the legs quickly like a crossbow; wrap the silk and spin
With strength, the fist moves in a curve and strives for straightness in the curve, like clouds and flowing water. When touched and moved quickly, the power can move mountains; only by thinking and concentrating can the inner and outer be harmonized, and the form and mind be connected."
An hour passed quietly, and all the disciples gradually became familiar with the first seven postures. Although they were a little tired, their bodies and minds felt extremely comfortable, and they couldn't help but marvel at the subtlety of this boxing.
…
Taoist disciples have two meals a day, eating morning food at Chenzheng time and eating food at Shenchu time. They have a Taoist class in the afternoon, take a short break after the meal and then practice the Taiyi Quan method. At the Youshi time, Han Jiaoyu personally teaches the method of breathing and breathing.
The instruction period for breathing in and out is also seven days. After that, you can practice breathing in and out in the morning and evening at your own residence.
After the evening classes, Bai Liming and Tan Zhenzhen deliberately walked at the end of the line.
The two of them came to the edge of the forest one after another. At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the breeze was blowing. The girl was wearing a Taoist robe. The female Taoist robe was lighter in color than the male Taoist robe, almost aquamarine, and the material was thinner and more elegant. The breeze blew
The girl's clothes swayed, revealing her earthly beauty even more.
Bai Liming stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder why Taoist friend Tan invited me?"
Tan Zhenzhen pretended to be angry: "Brother Baili, you agreed to call me Zhenzhen in private. If you don't want to call me, are you still angry at the slap I gave you earlier?"
The girl's voice was soft and slightly charming. When Bai Liming heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly and said, "No, no, that Tan... it's true, I was so offended when I was in a hurry, how could I be angry with you."
Tan Zhenzhen covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Just stop blaming me. I was reckless at the time and wronged Brother Baili without understanding the situation."
As he spoke, he looked around again, and when he saw no one around, he said: "I invite Brother Baili to talk to me this time. First, I want to thank Brother Baili for helping me on the pontoon, otherwise I will definitely fail the test."
"It's an unintentional act, it's nothing serious, really... really, you don't have to be so polite." Bai Liming scratched his head and said.
"I remember such a great kindness in my heart, and I will definitely sacrifice my life to repay you. But...brother Baili, I still have something to ask for."
The girl's eyes flickered, her words opened and closed, and her sincere voice revealed a hint of uneasiness.
