When Du Heng woke up, the Jade Rabbit was in the sky, and the bright moonlight shined through the window on the floor in front of the bed.
He slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "That's it."
By this time, Du Heng had figured everything out.
His mother is not an ordinary woman, nor is her name Yun Mu, but her name is Du Bingyun.
She was born into the Du family in Longxi, one of the thirty-six prefectures in the world. She became pregnant out of wedlock and refused to reveal the identity of the child's father, so she was eventually kicked out of the family. Later, she moved to Fengnan County and opened a noodle shop under the pseudonym Yunmu. , the child was changed to Du.
If it's just this, it's nothing.
The key lies in the identity of his father - Li Yin, the prince of the former Zhou Dynasty!
In the 27th year of Yong'an in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen De, the king of Zhao who once dominated the world, died of illness.
His son Chen Ju forced the emperor to abdicate and proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of Zhou. The country was named Zhao and Jianyuan Huangjia.
Then, he changed the subject and said, "Let's pass the "Jinxia Gong" to Xu Jing tomorrow."
Although Chunyang Temple has always been known for protecting its disciples, such an idea is suspected of judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, but when it comes to life and safety, Du Heng feels that he must consider various possibilities.
It is said to have been passed down for more than two thousand years, with a long history and profound heritage.
Lin Qinghe took Du Heng to his courtyard at Shenhe Peak, took out a volume from his sleeve robe and handed it to Du Heng, "Xu Jing, this volume of "Jinxia Gong" is for you. Let's familiarize yourself with the content today. Tomorrow I will teach you how to practice."
Having said this, he suddenly paused and said in a deep voice: "Maybe he will sell it well and try to form a good relationship with many martial arts sects."
Lin Qinghe was walking in from the outside at this time, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that Master already knows. It's like this. When the disciple was traveling abroad a few days ago, he found an orphan with good bones, so he brought him back and planned to Take him as a disciple and practice martial arts."
Moreover, although he could stay in Chunyang Temple and be protected, in fact this was just Lin Qinghe's own promise.
Hearing the footsteps outside, he slowly opened his slightly closed eyes and said with a smile: "Qinghe, did you bring back a child from outside the mountain?"
"Wars have always been fought with warriors as generals, and besides the imperial court, most of the warriors in the world are among the noble clans." Xie Cang said solemnly, "When Zhao was founded, the wealthy noble families contributed a lot, and the imperial court Since we won’t recruit troops from them, our sects will naturally become the best choice.”
This means that the previous royal family has ceased to exist in name only, and only Nanshangong is left, who cannot be killed due to etiquette.
"Orphan..." Xie Cang sighed, nodded gently and said, "Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and there are more and more orphans. It would be great if you could bring him back. After the character Qing is the character Xu, this child's Tao Let’s call it ‘Xu Jing’.”
There are only two disciples of the generation of the temple master Xie Cang at the top, and there are three disciples of two senior brothers and one senior sister Lin Qinghe below.
After the ceremony, Lin Qinghe took him to meet several senior uncles, and by the way, he also made him meet two senior brothers and a senior sister of his own generation.
"This is an excellent opportunity to win over many martial arts masters at the same time." Xie Cang said.
On the New Year's Day, the world was in chaos. For example, although the new Zhao Dynasty was established, the nineteen states in the world were still divided. Zhao lived in the Central Plains in the north, with Dacheng in the west and Jin in the south. They fought endlessly for years.
In the same year, Li Yin, who was once the prince of the Zhou Dynasty and was demoted to the prince of Nanshan, took advantage of the opportunity to assassinate the emperor Chen Ju when he was on patrol. He was seriously injured by the court masters and escaped, and was never heard from again.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up slightly.
"Thank you, Master." Du Heng took the volume and felt it was heavy, as if it was not an ordinary piece of paper. Then he asked, "Master, when I am familiar with the content, can I try to practice it myself?
"
"About the rumors about this posthumous child, I heard many people talk about it when I was in Fengnan County. I didn't expect that I was the posthumous child. If this identity was exposed, I would definitely die." Du Heng pressed his temples, feeling a little sad.
, also sighed a little, and said to himself, "My cheap master obviously knows my identity, but he actually agreed to protect me without hesitation. This is a person who values friendship very much."
The former emperor Li Bian was demoted to the title of Duke of Nanshan and was never allowed to leave Nanshan County.
For five consecutive generations, no disciple of Chunyang Temple has been able to master the "Jinxia Gong".
"The wealthy noble families side with the imperial power of the Zhao family and will not support him, so the only people he can win over are the major sects."
"Then Master invites experts from various sects to come, doesn't that mean he is helping him?" Lin Qinghe frowned.
The imperial court of Great Zhao was also looking for this posthumous son and planned to eradicate it.
"If this is true, it will be a great blessing for our Chunyang Temple, and we must focus on introducing it at that time." Xie Cang smiled when he heard this, and then sighed softly, "I really don't know when there will be another one who can use "Jinxia Gong"
A disciple who has entered the Tao."
"In a few years, if he has a few more big victories." Xie Cang looked in the direction of Pingyuan County and said in a deep voice, "I guess he will have to add Jiuxi.
"Invite the Sword Master?" Lin Qinghe was a little surprised when he heard this, "Master, I remember that the second senior sister and the third senior brother went to Liantai Mountain and Shenxiao Palace respectively before. What big event is going on?"
However, as long as a new disciple is getting started, he will still be allowed to practice "Jinxia Gong" first, and then switch to other martial arts after it is determined that he cannot get started.
Tao seeds have various additional effects, which can make his strength far exceed that of warriors of the same realm.
Its effect is to enhance every martial arts realm.
"So during the Yong'an period of Zhou Dynasty, I had some enmity with Tian Xing's father as my teacher." Xie Cang sighed lightly, "Now Tian Xing is the prime minister in the court, caring about life and supporting the country, and all major and minor affairs are decided by him."
Because of this assassination, Nanshan Gong Li Bian, who was originally unable to leave Nanshan County, was directly placed under house arrest in his bedroom at home, and numerous additional troops were deployed to guard the outside.
"Disciple understands!" Du Heng said very obediently. This is the attitude a twelve-year-old child should have.
During the Xingkang period of the Great Zhou Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, there were more than a hundred core disciples of Chunyang Temple in four generations. Now in the second year of Zhao Chonghe, there are only eleven core disciples of three generations.
She was going to do something very important, but also very dangerous.
Chunyang Temple is located on Jinxia Mountain in Shanyin County, Guang'an County, Yongzhou.
In the dream, Du Heng learned the content of the conversation between Du Bingyun and Lin Qinghe when he was unconscious outside Chunyang Temple.
"However, none of the martial arts skills I have now are used to improve my realm. "Three Heaven-shaking Palms" and "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" are both moves, and "Stepping on the Snow Without Traces" is also a light skill."
When Du Heng begins to cultivate a certain realm, the special cultivation method for the current realm will appear in the wordless "Tao Jing".
So before leaving, he entrusted his son to Lin Qinghe, a close friend, hoping that Lin Qinghe could accept him as his disciple, take care of him, and protect him.
"Form a good relationship?" Lin Qinghe was stunned when he heard this, a little confused.
"Jinxia Gong" is the most powerful basic martial arts of Chunyang Temple. Its strength in all aspects is better than that of martial artists of the same level. However, the difficulty of practicing it is extremely high. Those who are not extremely talented cannot even get started.
"Why would he..." Lin Qinghe was confused at first, then suddenly startled, lowering his voice and said, "He wants to recreate the old story of Chen Desfu and Zhou?"
For more than ten years, those who were committed to restoring the Great Zhou Dynasty have been looking for this posthumous son, trying to gather strength in the name of this posthumous son.
"Qinghe, after accepting disciples tomorrow, you can go to the Sword Forging Pavilion on behalf of the master." Xie Cang closed his eyes slightly again and said with a smile, "I invite the Sword Master to come to Jinxia Mountain as a guest in the next year. If you have outstanding disciples, you can also bring them with you.
, our Chunyang Temple has also produced three geniuses, allowing young people to communicate with each other."
He is said to have died.
"Hahaha, it's okay." Lin Qinghe nodded and smiled, "The first level of martial arts is just a way to take care of the body, there is no harm. In fact, when you start reading the cultivation method of the health realm, you have already started practicing.
Well, as long as you don’t touch higher-level training methods, it’ll be fine.”
"But why is it our Chunyang Temple again?" Lin Qinghe took a deep breath and said, "Five years ago, the senior brother was killed in the army, and he is coming again this time?"
""Deng Yun Gong"." Xie Cang smiled and said, "If he can get started with "Deng Yun Gong" a year ago, then when the experts from various sects come in the next year, you can bring him to have more contact with young people from each sect.
disciple."
"You actually want to invite Master Wuwu from Taishang Dao Palace?" Lin Qinghe was even more surprised.
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Qinghe saluted.
Du Heng immediately returned to the room where he lived and couldn't wait to read "Jinxia Gong".
In the past years, no one in Chunyang Temple has been able to complete the "Jinxia Gong" for five consecutive generations.
No matter how you look at it, this is unusual.
However, there have been rumors in the world that the Prince of Zhou actually had a posthumous son, who was born to him and Du Bingyun.
"Not only that, your fourth and sixth brothers will also be sent out in the future." Xie Cang opened his eyes and said with a smile, "A year ago, as a teacher, I had to go to the Taishang Dao Palace in person to see if I could get the Wuwang Dao
Brother, please come."
"In this world of martial arts and spirituality, as long as my martial arts are strong enough, there will be no danger even if my identity is exposed.
On the top of the golden clouds, inside the Ziqi Palace.
Taishang Dao Palace is one of the top sects in the world, and it is now the holy land of Dao sects. Master Wuwu is the head of the nine true disciples of Taishang Dao Palace, and his status is second only to the contemporary headmaster.
"The war is about to begin." Xie Cang stood up, walked to the door of Ziqi Palace, and stood with his hands behind his hands. "Last month, the imperial court ordered Hou Tianxing of Hongxiang to station in Pingyuan County, and to appoint the General of the West to conquer Yong.
It is estimated that the military forces of Qing Erzhou will launch an expedition to the west next year."
The rest of the Zhou clan were directly slaughtered.
"If you don't invite Taoist Brother Wuwang from Taishang Taoist Palace, you will be helping him." Xie Cang smiled and said, "Don't think too much, I know who the enemy is."
Although the "Tao Jing" appears as a volume, there is not a single word on it.
…
"Jinxia Gong?" Lin Qinghe saw that the master had changed the subject, so he stopped asking and asked instead, "Then what should the disciple teach him after the "Jinxia Gong"?"
"According to what Master said, "Jinxia Gong" is the strongest but also the most difficult basic martial arts in Chunyang Guan. No one has been able to get started for a long time. I hope I can break this dilemma." Du Heng held the scroll in his hand and carefully
Reading through it, I thought to myself, "There are twelve levels of martial arts, and "Jinxia Gong" records the first six levels. The first level is called 'cultivation'."
"Tao Jing" is the birth reward given by the system.
Among them, Lin Qinghe's generation is the largest, with six people.
"Moreover, this is also my chance. It is said that Chunyang Temple has a long heritage, profound knowledge, and very exquisite martial arts. If you can practice it well, you will have the opportunity to become a top martial arts expert.
"What if Xu Jing got started with Jinxia Gong?" Lin Qinghe said suddenly.
For the entire Pure Yang concept, there is actually no need to protect oneself.
If you want to get more complete protection, it is best to increase your importance to the entire Pure Yang Concept.
It was not even noon when this series of procedures was completed.
Later, he warned Du Heng, "However, the path to martial arts is by no means easy. You still have to practice down-to-earth. Don't believe in fairy tales and take those stories of geniuses who pass the level one day at a time seriously."
…
No delay!
Different from the various rewards that follow, "Tao Jing" does not have prefixes such as martial arts, treasures, and medical skills, which shows that it is special.
The old temple master Xie Cang is sitting cross-legged on the futon under the shrine of the ancestor. He is an old Taoist priest with white hair and a childlike face. His long snow-white eyebrows and beard hang down to his chest. He looks quite kind.
Next, Lin Qinghe explained the characteristics of "Jinxia Gong" and then left the courtyard.
There are not many people in Chunyang Temple now, and as a core disciple, he has a lot to do.
Du Heng turned to look at the moonlight outside the window, with a faint smile on his lips, "Fortunately, it should be available after I become a disciple tomorrow."
As long as the cultivation requirements of the "Tao Jing" are met, a Tao seed of the current state can be condensed.
"Don't worry." Xie Cang turned around and patted Lin Qinghe's shoulder, "Stop showing off your old face as a teacher and invite some old friends to come over. Many strong men from the martial arts sects will be there by then. No matter how powerful Tian Xing is,
We should and will not act rashly.”
By then, his strength will be extremely powerful.
"This is public revenge!" Lin Qinghe was furious and cursed: "Treacherous Prime Minister!"
Moreover, the martial arts in this world are called the Twelve Levels of the Divine Gate, and there are a total of twelve realms, which means that Du Heng can condense twelve Tao seeds and have twelve special additional effects.
"Jinxia Gong" is undoubtedly a good breakthrough.
He knew very well in his heart that with his absolutely shameful status, if he wanted to live a stable life in the future, he must practice martial arts, reach a high level, and possess high strength.
The initiation ceremony of Chunyang Temple is not complicated.
"Actually, it would be safer for me to be a Taoist priest in Chunyang Temple than to hide my identity outside." Du Heng thought to himself, "Although Chunyang Temple is not the top martial arts sect in the world, it can still be called one of the top martial arts sects in the world.
As one of the great sects in the world, the imperial court would not rush into investigating the disciples of Chunyang Temple.
Zhujian Pavilion, Liantai Mountain, and Shenxiao Palace are all major martial arts sects on par with Chunyang Temple, and the people they invite are also the strongest from these sects.
However, this sect has declined somewhat in recent years.
"Isn't Pingyuan County next to our Guang'an County?" Lin Qinghe also frowned when he heard this and said in surprise, "Won't the Great Zhao want to recruit troops from our martial arts sects again?"
"Besides, I still have the "Tao Jing" with me. It shouldn't be difficult to hide my identity from now on, practice martial arts well, and gain strength strong enough to protect myself."
If you can complete the introduction at an extremely fast speed, or even cultivate to a perfect state, you will definitely attract the attention of Chunyang Guan as a whole.
After Du Heng paid homage to the ancestor's shrine and the old temple master, and then served Lin Qinghe a cup of tea, he became an official disciple of Chunyang Temple.
This will be the hope for Zhou Shi's revival.
Decline seems to have become an inevitable trend that cannot be stopped.
Just as he was reading the cultivation methods for the realm of "cultivating the body", he suddenly felt the pages of the "Tao Jing" in his mind turning.
Line after line of mysterious text appeared on the originally wordless scripture.
This writing was not any kind that Du Heng knew, but he could easily understand what it meant.
[The state of health cultivation can condense the Taoist seeds of "immortality". 】
