There is still a light burning in a bedroom of a private house in Youjing Market.
Yu Tian unfolded a scroll printed on golden satin in his hand, and sat on a golden nanmu chair, showing a lazy and leisurely smile.
He is over fifty years old, so he is no longer young, but his fingers are more agile and powerful than many young people.
No matter what he wanted, he would always reach out for it and eventually get it.
Ever since he found out that the legendary golden seal secret method in Shaolin Temple actually existed, he couldn't forget it.
Now, the secret method of one of the Nine-Character Golden Seals is finally in his hands.
Although it went round and round, after many twists and turns, and came later, it was still the right time.
It has been three days since Yu Tian obtained the secret technique of "Xing" seal.
Even if you give any famous master outside the Buddhist sect three months, they may not be able to develop many cultivation methods.
But Yu Tian gained something in just three days!
Could it be that he is an unparalleled martial arts prodigy?
No.
At least Tian never considered himself to be a gifted person.
Only he himself knows how much effort he has put in to achieve this miracle that can be said to come easily.
When he was about to reach a weak age, he was just a little handyman with no skills at all, and he was beaten, scolded and bullied by the couple and their family in the restaurant.
In the next ten years or so, he lived a much happier life in Huo Mansion, and also learned some rudimentary moves.
The Huo family was naturally very kind to him. They worked very hard to teach him martial arts and told him frankly that he had already passed the age of laying a solid foundation. Practicing martial arts and practicing internal skills would only achieve twice the result with half the effort.
In order to survive, he chose to sacrifice others at that life-and-death moment, or betrayed those who were good to him.
As early as that time in that restaurant, when he risked everything to pounce on Mr. Huo's lap, he had already made up his mind that his life would no longer be at the mercy of others.
After that, he climbed higher step by step, walking cautiously, as if walking on thin ice.
After leaving Huo Mansion, he only believed in himself.
For others, he only uses two methods.
Either rely on profit to boss people around and cooperate with them.
Either rely on strength and convince others with force!
He never stopped practicing martial arts and never stopped studying.
Originally he knew nothing but cooking, so he tried to learn everything.
He not only practiced the stick techniques of Shaolin, the sword techniques of Wudang Emei, the formations of Kongtong, etc., but also painted the essence of them on paintings and wrote about his experiences.
He is getting older, but his hands are getting stronger.
There is a study room in this private house that may rival the Shaolin Scripture Pavilion. Half of the rows of bookshelves are filled with various scriptures and classics, and the other half were carefully copied word for word by Yu Tian.
To this day, every evening, he still insists on reading quietly on the desk in his bedroom for at least an hour.
Especially during these three nights, Yu Tian was more sleepless and forgetful than any other student who was hungry for knowledge or a martial artist who was hungry for power.
The objects painted on the golden satin scroll are not paintings, or rather, they are many pictures with calligraphy.
It is a picture enlarged to the same proportion with nine rows and nine columns of human actions and Sanskrit photos printed according to the word "行".
Two years ago, after the news that the "Lin" seal of Shaolin Temple was stolen, Yu Tian not only dispatched people to find out the whereabouts of the golden seal, but also invited many monks who knew Sanskrit to translate and annotate more than ten Sanskrit books.
Chant and recite for two hours every day.
The Nine-Character Golden Seal is inherited from the Duzhu Buddhist Sect. If you want to make the most of it after obtaining the Golden Seal, you should naturally understand Sanskrit as soon as possible.
By creating this kind of Sanskrit learning environment, Yu Tian spent a year slowly digesting the rather complicated and difficult Sanskrit language.
Yu Tian didn't know whether Huang Tian lived up to his hard work, he only knew that he didn't live up to himself.
What I had planned for a rainy day back then has finally come into use now!
Yu Tian put down the scroll, placed his hands on the desk, and slowly closed his eyes.
The movements of the eighty-one monk figures were constantly arranged and combined in my mind, and they went through it like a revolving lantern over and over again.
The picture scroll on the desk slightly lifted a corner.
There seemed to be wind blowing through the cracks in the windows and doors.
Outside the house, the autumn wind was blowing, sweeping through the house with a cool breeze.
A wild cat that came from nowhere stopped at the far end opposite Yu Tian's bedroom.
It seems that I am puzzled by this unique bright house in the dark night.
Suddenly the wild cat's pupils narrowed into a thin line.
It turned out that the light of the Buddha was reflected in that room!
…
…
It's nearly dawn.
The moon is about to hide, and the heaven and earth seem to be swallowed up by darkness.
In General Fengguo's mansion, there was a pair of eyes that were particularly bright at this moment.
Since the Bailu Court meeting thirteen days ago, this is the third night that the Fifth Marquis has been unable to sleep.
He couldn't sleep as long as there was something worth thinking about.
You have to think clearly before you can sleep peacefully.
Otherwise, his head would have been moved, and his body would have been thrown outside the city to feed wild dogs.
Fortunately, every time when he couldn't sleep, his mind was clearer than in the morning, and he was more able to discover problems that he usually ignored.
For example, during that morning meeting, he found signs that the situation was beyond his control, so he stayed up all night in bed to sort out many matters.
Of the ten princes and ministers in the court who were supposed to be on the same side as him, at least three of them had crooked buttocks; two of them were holding a wait-and-see attitude and planned to bet at the last minute to get a share of the pie; and two of them would rather suffer some losses.
I bear the loss and don’t want to offend anyone.
After counting, only three of the ten people were willing to obey him.
But these three people are far from being completely devoted to him.
Compared to the twelve people who had submitted to Tim from beginning to end, my own control seemed to be far inferior to his.
In order to find a solution, the Fifth Marquis naturally thought of joining forces with the Nine Families.
But after careful consideration, he discovered that the situation of the Nine Families was much more complicated than it was half a year ago.
The Chang family's loyalty to the royal family is unquestionable.
If even this point could be shaken by Yu Tian, then the Zhongzhou border would already be at war.
Although the Lu family still maintains the image of good old people, the fact that the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Feng, was "kidnapped" no longer prevents everyone from marking him as Tingyuge in their hearts.
In particular, Tingyuge, which should have been pushed to the forefront and was beleaguered on all sides, is now in a relatively stable situation. It is difficult not to doubt how many secret offensives the Lu family has helped to neutralize through gold and yuan means.
The Hu family and the Wu family, one in charge of money and the other in fortification, wanted to make a fortune before the war broke out. They even hooked up with the Red Sect and the Twelve Sects of Heavenly Evil. Fortunately, they saw that the situation was not good and they were able to do it in time.
Stop the loss, there won't be much loss.
The current step is to unite with the Tang family, which can compete with the Chang family in terms of military strength, and then reach some kind of agreement with the Northern Alliance, which will at least be enough to protect the family in times of crisis.
There is no conflict between the above five families and the fifth prince for the time being, and in the worst case, they will not become enemies.
Among the remaining four families, the Yin family has few talents and is the most looked down upon. Although they are not involved in any party at the moment, they are the easiest to be won over and the easiest to do bad things outside the rules. They should be treated with caution.
The Hong family, which had never been stable, took the initiative to get closer to the Yu family after the Red Sect was destroyed.
It was simply because the Yu family was close to the Tang family and built the Zangfeng Pavilion in the grass.
The news coming from Fujian in the south is enough to prove that Zangfeng Pavilion can no longer hide its sharp edge and is about to show its fangs.
Therefore, in recent days, the Fifth Marquis has paid special attention to the dynamics of the Yu, Hong, and Tang families. The most important thing is to prevent Yu Tian and these three families from colluding with each other.
It's a pity that the harvest was very little.
After all, the Fifth Marquis felt a little uneasy.
After all, Yu Tian planned the situation earlier than he did. Although he had family support, he rushed to the top later, but he did not truly come to the top.
In other words, what he has grasped, Yu Tian also has grasped.
What he didn't have control over, Yu Tian still had control over.
He suddenly realized that he lacked confidence.
Because he doesn't know anyone he can truly trust.
Just like being a general, he is isolated and helpless when there are no soldiers available.
He has spent more than two hours tonight to figure out some things, and he will order his subordinates to implement them tomorrow, hoping to restore some disadvantages.
There is one last thing left that needs to be figured out tonight, and it is also the most critical thing.
——The little emperor announced that he will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace tomorrow that has not been held for two years!
The little emperor's health is deteriorating. How can he resume the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet and torment himself?
There is no doubt that it was Yu Tian’s instruction!
Will he go or not?
Of course he had no reason not to go.
If he doesn't go, won't he give those restless people an excuse to change seats?
But he had to understand Yu Tianzheng's real intention behind this play.
The Fifth Marquis secretly thought:
"You will never let the little emperor abdicate the throne, right?
"That shouldn't be done at night, at least there should be a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven.
"And for a eunuch to come to power at this relatively peaceful time, he's just going to make the magnanimous people laugh, right?
