He was so surprised that Li Mu stuttered. When Eunuch Gao saw him, he thought Li Mu was joking about the name of the book, so he said with a little embarrassment: "It's called Mr. Hou, a joke. We haven't been in school for years, so we don't know a few words."
, I learned it through my eyes and ears after following His Majesty. To be honest, the name of this book is really to commemorate an old friend."
"Old friend?" Li Mu stared at Eunuch Gao with curious eyes and thought to himself, is this Eunuch Gao the author of "Sunflower Collection"?
Li Mu had read a lot of miscellaneous books in his previous life, and he had naturally read all of Jin Yong's novels. Not only had he read the novels, but he had also watched basically all the TV series. "The Swordsman" is one of Jin Yong's classic works, and he had read it more than once.
When setting the setting for "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", the planning team also regarded Jin Yong's martial arts novels as a very important reference. They also specially studied the origin of "The Sunflower Collection".
Based on the online research on the age of the Sunflower Collection, one view with a relatively high support rate is that the Sunflower Collection was written in the mid-Tang Dynasty. Now it seems that this time point has to be pushed forward.
.
"Uh..." Eunuch Gao didn't seem to expect that Li Mu would break the casserole and ask the truth. He looked slightly embarrassed and said: "To be honest, before we became eunuchs, our family had a good friend named 'Wang Kuihua'.
We were in love and committed to each other for life. But we had no choice but to live in troubled times, and we were not in control of others. I entered the palace and became a eunuch, and she married as a woman, and later died in the war."
Li Mu was stunned and said hurriedly: "I'm really sorry for mentioning your sadness."
"Hi!" Eunuch Gao waved his hand and said, "This happened many years ago, and I have been sad for a long time. But when I was naming it, her shadow suddenly passed through my mind, and I wrote it down by mistake.
, which made Mr. Hou laugh. Mr. Hou just took it to read. If it can help a little, it can be considered useful. However, when will Mr. Hou finish reading it, please return it to our family. This exercise is not counted.
It’s perfect, we still need to make it more elaborate.”
"Don't worry, Eunuch Gao, it will take at least three days, or at most five days, to return the jade to Zhao."
"Of course our family can trust the Marquis." After saying this, Eunuch Gao nodded slightly and said, "Master Marquis, please take care of yourself. Our family will pass on the food to His Majesty."
"Eunuch Gao, please."
Li Mu turned around and walked down the steps. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. Your Majesty is getting more and more stingy. It's already past noon. He knows how to eat but doesn't know how to buy a pair of chopsticks. Is the palace so poor now?
He muttered and walked to the gate of the palace. Dugujiu was sitting in the carriage eating cakes. He has learned to be smart now. He knows that when he goes out with Li Mu, he may not be able to eat on time, so he always keeps two cakes ready for when he has no time to eat.
a little.
When eating, he naturally had to take off his mask. He was afraid that his face would be seen, so he hid in the carriage.
Seeing Li Mu get on the car, Dugu Jiu handed him the remaining half of the cake. Li Mu was not polite and bit it in his mouth. He took out the "Sunflower Collection" from his arms and handed it to Dugu Jiu: "Look
Look at this, the internal strength created by Eunuch Gao."
Dugujiu took it and turned it over. He showed no expression at first. After a while, he frowned and looked at Li Mu seriously: "Brother, that eunuch wants to harm you! You can't practice this internal skill!"
Li Mu choked the cake, took a breath, and said, "How could Eunuch Gao harm me? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Dugu Jiu said anxiously, "Brother, I am definitely not an alarmist. If you follow the method recorded in this book and your breath circulates throughout the sky, a hot and dry air will arise from the Dantian. It will rise from the bottom up, causing chaos and uncertainty. Not to mention
Can you survive this heat? Even if you survive, it will cause great damage to your body."
Li Mu frowned and said, "What can be hurt?"
"This..." Dugujiu flipped through a few more pages and said firmly: "It will damage the kidney meridian. In other words, brother's..." Dugujiu glanced at Li Mu's crotch and said: "...will gradually become weak.
, finally, finally it can’t be used.”
Li Mu stared at Dugu Jiu and suddenly covered his chest. Damn it, am I going to bend? Why does his heart keep pounding these few times when Dugu Jiu takes off his mask? Still.
What does Dugujiu mean by this guy? Why are you looking at my crotch? Why do you blush after doing so? You are a big watermelon!
Li Mu looked away and said: "This can't be said to be harmful to us. Don't forget, Eunuch Gao is a eunuch. Eunuchs don't have this..." Li Mu pointed to his crotch, coughed lightly, and continued:
"He doesn't have this thing, so the internal strength he created naturally doesn't take it into account, which is understandable. Since you said it's useless, I'll just return it to him in two days. I'll also practice my "Tai Xuan Jing"."
Dugu Jiu blushed and nodded, saying: "The Tai Xuan Jing is naturally good. Taoist exercises, although slower, are good for the body."
Li Mu really couldn't face Dugu Jiu's face anymore, so he stretched out his hand to pull down his mask and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, hurry up and drive, let's go home and count the leather armors I made a while ago.
How much is there? If it’s not enough, we have to rush to make some.”
"Yes." Dugujiu responded, stuffed the last bite of cake into his mouth, got out of the carriage and sat on the shaft, flicked his whip, turned the horse's head, and walked home along Zhuque Street.
…
In the carriage, Li Mu was flipping through two books on internal energy.
You can't tell by reading one book alone, but you can tell something by comparing them.
Both Cheng Yaojin and Eunuch Gao said that internal strength is difficult to practice and requires talent and understanding. But Cheng Yaojin couldn't explain what talent and understanding are. Eunuch Gao also had a little understanding. But Li Mu combined all the things he had seen in his previous life.
Based on the settings of novels and TV series, and comparing these two books, my guess is almost the same.
The so-called talent should refer to a person's own innate conditions. Everyone has meridians, and most people have narrow meridians and blocked breath movement, so practicing internal energy is naturally slow. But some people are born with wide meridians and smooth breath, and practice internal energy quickly. This is
That's what is called having talent.
The so-called understanding is inspired by the words of Eunuch Gao.
Eunuch Gao said that internal strength is the way to record the movement of breath. This is how Li Mu, a game designer, understands this sentence. This is like "Street Fighter", the buttons are approximately equal to the meridian nodes.
Down, left down, right connected to p, equals bald root. Down, left down, right x2 and then p connected to p is bald root. Down, left lower, left connected to k is baldroot.
The secrets are here. As long as you do this, the ultimate move can be released. However, due to different personal situations. Some people have weak hands. They clearly have thought of it in their hearts, but they can't press it, so they can't practice this internal skill. There are also people who don't have the skills.
It is disabled, but the buttons are broken, the nodes of the meridians are not connected, the p key cannot be used, or the k key cannot be used, and it is impossible to use the big move.
To put it simply, internal strength is selective. Only the person who practices internal strength meets the various conditions set by the person who created the internal strength can he develop this internal strength.
Just like "Tai Xuan Jing", it is a Taoist internal skill, and those who practice it need to have a deep study of Taoism. In the same way, "Sunflower Book" was created by Gao Gonggong. He was an eunuch, so naturally he had to use it.
The sword comes from the palace. When Eunuch Gao created this internal skill, he may not have thought about it this way, but as long as you practice according to the breath movement method he set, you must get it from the palace, otherwise you will not be able to practice it.
After understanding the twists and turns, Li Mu became a little irritable.
He doesn't want to study Taoism, and he can't bring himself to commit suicide. It seems that there is only one way, to imitate Eunuch Gao and study the internal strength that suits him. But for this kind of thing, he has no experience and no system to rely on. He really doesn't know.
Can you do it yourself?
But then I thought again, am I not as good as a eunuch? Eunuch Gao can create internal strength, why can't he create it himself?
If you really can't create something, then you shouldn't practice. Anyway, with Dugujiu and Li Chongyi by your side, one is a warrior and the other is an assassin, why should you worry about your own safety?
…
Li Mu returned home and went straight to the warehouse.
There are four warehouses in the Zhuluhou Mansion. One warehouse contains money, and the other warehouse contains things used in the house, such as rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth and dried meat, wine, etc. The remaining two warehouses contain things made by Li Mu.
Things. For example, when he was improving his skill proficiency, he would ask people to move the various gadgets he made to the warehouse if they couldn't fit them in the studio.
It's not that he is reluctant to throw it away, but most of the things he made for leveling up are parts. These parts may not be valuable, but they are probably needed for later drawings, so keep them to save time when you level up later.
.
All the things made during [Leatherworking] are also here.
When Li Mu was improving his proficiency, he considered the possibility of using it. Therefore, the leather armors he made were all in sets. He did not make all the wrist guards with the least material in order to save materials.
Li Mu counted and found that there were a total of 130 sets of beginner leather suits and 218 sets of intermediate leather suits. This number made Li Mu quite astonished. When he was testing proficiency, he did not count at all. He knew that he
I made a lot, but the impression in my mind was only 180 sets at most. I didn’t expect that I made more than 300 sets of leather armors. No wonder the twenty cars of leather were all used up.
This is good, you don’t have to worry about the armor of the independent regiment. Although the number of intermediate leather suits is less than 300, it doesn’t matter. Those who perform well will wear intermediate, and those who perform worse will wear elementary. Anyway, they are worn during training, and they will be worn when they are really available.
On the day they go to the battlefield, Li Mu will not let them wear leather armor, at least they must wear mail armor, which combines the flexibility of leather armor with the defense of plate armor.
It's just that the skill proficiency in blacksmithing is too slow to increase, and he still has to bang the iron. Li Mu has been very lazy recently and hasn't wielded a sledgehammer in almost two months.
"Forget it, there's no rush anyway, let's wait until spring comes and the flowers bloom..."
Li Mu muttered to comfort himself, came out of the warehouse, hummed a little tune he heard somewhere, and wandered to the studio. He had not yet eaten the big watermelon he had bet on, so he just happened to take it back to the back house to wait for his wife to come back.
, cut it up and ate it.
As he walked, he thought about it. On the way home from the palace, he had a feeling that he had forgotten something very important. But he never remembered what it was exactly.
"What's going on?"
…
Wannian County Prison.
Ju Zhisheng and Wusman have been squatting here for several days. Because they had a conflict with the guards when they came in. And because they were caught wandering around the back door of Zhuluhou’s shop, they have received a lot of care from the guards these days.
'.
It doesn't matter if they get whipped a few times or not, what else can they say after being imprisoned? The most unacceptable thing for the two of them is that they have less food than other prisoners.
But if this matter comes to a head, Ju Zhisheng himself will be blamed.
When he first came in, the jailer gave him the same amount of food. But who was Ju Zhisheng? He was the crown prince of Gaochang. Although Gaochang was a small country with few people, it was located in a strategic location and was very wealthy. Moreover, the merchants who came and went brought all the food.
It’s a good thing. Ju Zhisheng grew up in fine clothes and fine food, what good things have he not eaten?
He was tired of eating all the delicious delicacies. How could he possibly eat the miscellaneous beans and steamed buns in the prison?
As soon as he took a bite, he blurted out: "Is this food also for people to eat?"
The jailer also simply smiled and said: "You don't want to eat, right? Then don't eat it!"
After that meal, he no longer had any portion of the miscellaneous bean buns.
Ju Zhisheng had been hungry for a day. On the second day, he couldn't bear it any longer and asked the jailer for some corn. After saying all the good things, his grandfather even called him, and the jailer gave him half. Wusman had to give his share.
Give him a little bit, and the two of them are evenly divided. Neither of them is full, but neither of them is hungry.
Several times, Ju Zhisheng revealed his identity to the jailer. The jailer just smiled and said sarcastically: "If you look like this, then I will be the prince!"
After several times of talking to no avail, Ju Zhisheng was too lazy to talk. Later, he was so hungry that he had no energy to talk. He just leaned against the wall all day, staring blankly at the sky outside through the palm-sized transom window, watching the sun rise and set.
, the whole person was depressed.
When will days like this end!
"Who can save my crown prince!" Ju Zhisheng suddenly screamed, holding on to the cell door and shouting loudly: "I am really the crown prince of Gaochang, the real crown prince of Gaochang, why don't you believe it! You guys put me
Let me out. I can prove it. I have money and it’s all in the inn. Can’t I give it all to you? Grandpas, please let me out..."
The wailing echoed in the cell. Several jailors who were drinking listened and one of them sighed helplessly: "Oh, another one is crazy!"
But some people were worried and said: "Brothers, I think he has been saying this all day long. It might be true. What if it is true? What should we do?"
"!" The man who just sighed said: "He is crazy, and so are you. If he was really the prince, someone would have come looking for him long ago. If no one has been looking for him for several days, he must not be. But..." The man paused.
After a while, he said: "If it is true, we can get into trouble. If we wait for two more days, if it is true, we can only"
