Sister-in-law Gan Jiu, Aunt Wang, Xiao Fenxiang and other people in the kitchen were all surprised: "You don't know Yandu? Don't you know the Yanduluo family?"
Aunt Wang looked her up and down: "Aren't you from Tianyuan?"
Yin Ruxing said with an innocent expression: "I can't remember! I really have no memory of Yandu and the Luo family. [Ye*][*]"
Xiao Fenxiang suddenly said: "By the way, sister Ru said that you were picked up by the villagers at the foot of Izumo Mountain. Across the east Izumo Mountain is Kagawa Province. Could it be that you are from Kagawa?"
This speculation made everyone very excited. Kagawa State, what a far away place it is! Legend has it that the people there look similar to them, but their living habits and customs are very different. Only the most high-end shops on the market will have Kagawa State.
Some of the exotic specialties, jewelry, spices, gauze, and the style of Tianyuan State are very different. Not to mention, Kagawa State is the birthplace of Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism was transmitted from there six hundred years ago.
"Izumo Mountain is so high that it reaches into the sky. How can it be climbed by ordinary people?" Aunt Wang thought it made sense, but she only agreed with half of it. "In my opinion, if you are really from Kagawa, you must have been abducted and detoured from the northern barbarian swamp.
I came here by kidnapping. I heard that this road is the only way for traders."
"Then I might be from the Northern Barbarian Swamp." Yin Ruxing followed up to confuse the situation. There are also a large number of tribal people living in the Northern Barbarian Swamp, and their customs and habits are different from those of Tianyuan.
Xiao Fenxiang covered her chest in horror: "Oh my God! The Northern Barbarian Swamp! It's full of bandits and barbarians! I heard they even eat human flesh and drink human blood! How could Sister Ru be a barbarian there?"
Gan Jiusao also said: "Yes, the people in the Northern Barbarian Swamp are very barbaric and unreasonable. Caravans traveling in Xiangchuan State must be protected by the most fierce bodyguards. But I heard from my new uncle that the profits here are
It’s also huge. If a businessman can make such a trip, he can lie down and eat and drink for ten years.”
Yin Ruxing cleverly brought the topic back: "Why are you talking about something so far away? No matter how good Xiangchuan is, or how fierce the Northern Barbarians are, what does it have to do with us? Or should we talk about Yandu, what is going on?"
Everyone's thoughts were brought back. Xiao Fenxiang said excitedly: "Yan is the capital of our Tianyuan. The palace is built there. It used to be the most prosperous place in Tianyuan."
Sister-in-law Gan Jiu said with a smile: "It's almost the same now. Yan is a gathering place for merchants, and goods from all over Tianyuan can be bought in Yandu. Most merchants don't want to go far, so they sell and resell their goods in Yandu."
It is a transit center for goods distribution. The prosperity brought by this kind of commercial city can be understood by Yin Ruxing. But what about the palace? She remembers that Tianyuan is a place where the five major city lords are in charge of their own affairs, so there is no emperor?
Aunt Wang explained: "There is no emperor now, but there was before. More than two hundred years ago, Tianyuan belonged to the Luo family."
Only then did Yin Ruxing suddenly realize, remembering the history collection she had read in pieces. More than 600 years ago, the world was unified and the Tianyuan Empire was established. The country's name is used as the chronology, and it continues to this day. Tianyuan Kingdom Zuo 435
Year, died. It was divided into Xi, Qi, Zhi, Sacrifice, Zhu five lands, and the five city lords each had their own affairs and communicated with each other.
It turns out that Yandu means a capital city called ‘Yan’. This is the former capital of the dynasty. The Luo family was the former royal family. No wonder! No wonder Huan Qi became angry as soon as Bai Mochen signed up.
She asked in confusion: "Then where does Yandu belong now?"
Gan Jiusao said: "It does not belong to any place. The last emperor of the Luo family hanged himself. The five major city lords discussed and retained Yandu and its surrounding areas as the Luo family's fiefdom. It can be enjoyed by generations. Yandu has its own government system.
Belongs anywhere."
Yin Ruxing was thoughtful. It seems that at the beginning, there was no dominant city lord who could afford this piece of fat. This resulted in such a deformed state of living in a crack. This situation also exists in modern society. For example, the Vatican
It is an independent place that does not belong to any country. But the Vatican's detachment is because of religion, so its continuation is not a problem. The detachment of Yandu is due to the interlocking restraints of the five city lords. This balance is very delicate. If you are not careful,
It will collapse. The Luo family can ensure that Yandu remains standing for more than two hundred years. It seems that their ability is extraordinary.
This also explains why Bai Mochen said it was fortunate that he asked him for a map. The Luo family has been the master of Tianyuan State for more than four hundred years, and the complete map of the world's mountains and rivers must be complete. And according to current understanding, the Luo family
He is obviously very capable. He must have done a lot of private actions over the past two hundred years. Perfecting a map should be among them.
It's really a dangerous and complicated identity. [Ye*] [*] Yin Ruxing started to have a headache again. The Luo family is even more difficult to deal with than the Su family. One point you pay will definitely receive twelve points in return. God knows what she has to do for this
What price does the map pay? That’s all, let’s take a look at it step by step.
The best lie is one lie mixed with nine truths. Thanks to the popularity of modern popular literature, many people know this secret of lying.
Two days later, Yin Ruxing went to Su Lei to ask about the medical content that she did not understand: "Since ancient times, the foundation of life for those who have access to the sky is based on yin and yang. Between heaven and earth, within, the Qi of Jiuzhou Island, the nine orifices, and the five treasures.
The twelve stanzas are all related to the weather. Its birth is five, and its Qi is three. If these are violated, the evil Qi will hurt people, which is the basis of life. 'What does this mean?"
Su Lei looked at it and explained: "This means that there is Qi in the heaven and earth, and it is connected with the Qi in the human body. If the Qi in the body is not balanced, you will get sick."
Yin Ruxing said helplessly: "My lord, please explain to me in detail. What is it? What is Kyushu Island? What is the Nine Apertures? What are the Five Treasures and the Twelve Sections? What is the birth of five,
The third reason is that I really don’t understand it at all.”
Su Lei laughed "poof", laughed for a while, and said: ": refers to the southeast, northwest, up and down. Jiuzhou Island: The ancients divided the vast territory into nine states and islands. Jiuqiao: There are nine interfaces between the human body and the outside world. Respectively.
They are: eyes, ears, both nostrils, mouth, lower vagina, anus, these are the nine orifices. The five organs are: the heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the soul, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the mind, and the kidneys store the essence. These are the five internal organs.
.Twelve joints: Twelve joints of the limbs. Wrists, elbows, shoulders, thighs, knees, and ankles, a total of twelve joints."
Yin Ruxing immersed herself in her notes and took notes with flying colors. The booklet "Treatise on Internal Classics" looked thin, but it turned out that there were not many extensions of professional words and notes. At least what she recorded now was as thick as the original.
"Its birth of five means the birth of the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Its birth of three means the birth of three yin and three yang, taiyin, shaoyin, jueyin, taiyang, yangming and shaoyang." Su Lei continued to explain.
"Pfft——" Yin Ruxing was about to vomit blood. Annotation, just annotation, is not enough. There must be further annotation, supplementary annotation, etc.
I could only frown and ask again: "Taiyin, Shaoyin, Jueyin, Taiyang, Yangming, Shaoyang, what's going on?"
Fortunately, Su Lei had a good temper as a teacher, and said patiently: "Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin are the three changes of yin. One yin is Jueyin, and the second yin is Shaoyin..." Barabara, the surging river water
, endlessly.
It was easy. Today's explanation class was over. Yin Ruxing's eyes were dazzled, his ears were weak, and his wrists were sore. Looking at the dense notes, he took a long breath. He arranged the paper and pen, and poured two cups of new tea for Su Lei and himself:
"Every line is like a mountain. I have so much to learn." After sighing, he expressed his admiration for Su Lei, "You know so much."
This admiration is sincere. You don’t know if you don’t learn, and you will be shocked after you understand it. The arrogance of nobles from aristocratic families has its own merits. No matter what Yin Ruxing asked, Su Lei always answered it with clear regulations and explanations.
.The talents and knowledge in his belly are much genuine.
There is a poetic spirit in his belly. No wonder he looks outstanding in temperament, which is completely different from martial artists like Master Guo.
Su Lei seemed to enjoy this moment very much. He took a tea cup and smelled the fragrance of the tea. He narrowed his eyes slightly and took a sip. He said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know much, as long as you can remember it after learning it. Take your time."
, there will always be a day when you finish studying.”
In fact, teaching students like this is a novel experience for him. In particular, Yin Ruxing is a very good student. He has a clear mind, works hard on his own, and perseveres every day. Watching himself paint a piece of white paper into an ink landscape, this feeling
Very good.
Yin Ruxing also noticed that he was in a good mood. It was normal for teachers and students to relax after studying, so they kept chatting: "...I haven't been out for a few days. It's really boring."
Su Lei smiled knowingly: "What, you want to go out for a walk?"
She smiled sheepishly and whispered: "I just remembered Qian'er. That day at Master Huijing's place, one of them seemed to have said that he and his friends had made an appointment to meet at Liuxianju in ten days."
"Ten days later..." Su Lei pondered and did the math, "That's the day after tomorrow. What? You want to go too?"
Yin Ruxing said bluntly: "That gentleman is very elegant and looks like he comes from a wealthy family. He is also very polite to me, unlike the other one who looks down on others."
Su Lei was slightly startled: "You... have a good impression of him?" A strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
Yin Ruxing bit her lip, clasped the cup tightly with her ten fingers intertwined, and said softly: "I have been in Tianyuan for so long, and apart from Master Huijing, he is the only two people who respect me."
Su Lei's mood suddenly became a little gloomy, and his tone became slightly higher: "That's because he sees that you are among everyone, and he doesn't want to offend the people behind you."
Yin Ruxing made an unconvinced judgment: "Who is behind me? I'm dressed so shabbily, it's hard to tell that I come from a wealthy family."
Su Lei was even more unhappy: "That's hypocrisy. This kind of people are used to trying to please others. On the surface, they may appear to be polite to others, but in reality they don't like them." After saying this, he glanced at Yin Ruxing's dress.
And hair, my heart moved.
This was the first time he noticed the dress of the girl across from him, and he suddenly realized that it was very special. Her hair was parted into two strands, and she had a bun on both sides. It was different from Gao Fei's double-haired bun, but it was braided tightly against her scalp.
The hair is tied up. The dark hair is intertwined with light green silk threads, and the tassels at the ends of the silk threads are scattered on the ears. The remaining black hair is scattered on the back, and the length is nearly waist. White thin cotton skirt, light green clothes
It has a light green girdle and a group of light green pleats. A silver brocade belt is tied around a slender waist that is no more than a handful. There are no accessories on the waist, only a yellow, green and pink three-color silk rope tassel wearing ordinary jade beads.
As she looked at it, her brows furrowed slightly. This outfit matched her appearance, which was as fresh and eye-catching as a new lotus in the water. However, she looked a little shabby and had no aura of wealth at all. She was not like a first-class girl from a wealthy family.
Maid. Not to mention Zisu and Ziyuan, even the second-class maids in the east courtyard of the Meditation House are dressed more brightly and gorgeously than her.
"Is the monthly money enough?" He thought of some things Zisu reported to him when he first came here. Yin Ruxing had nothing and had to prepare everything by himself. He also liked to buy high-end balm and didn't have any money left for a decent piece of jewelry.
purchase.
Yin Ruxing didn't know what he was thinking: "That's enough." She was concerned about another thing, "Can you let me go shopping the day after tomorrow? It's March, new bamboo shoots are on the market. Liuxianju's bamboo shoot tip game soup
It must be very fragrant."
Su Lei nodded: "It's okay, I haven't eaten game soup with bamboo shoots for a long time. It'll be the day after tomorrow."
