That night, after the banquet, Zhu Kui stayed at Shan's house for three days. During this period, Ma Yuanyi often went out to deal with matters such as the promotion and evangelism of Taiping Dao in Yangzhou, and who would be responsible for the leadership of Yangzhou believers after he was appointed or dismissed after returning to Jizhou.
However, Zhu Kui was confined in a small courtyard of Shan's family and could not go out. Ma Yuanyi knew that although Zhu Kui was young, he was ferocious and dared to kill people, so he could not be underestimated, so he sent more than a dozen followers to keep hands around him at all times.
Only Zhao Da was allowed to visit in the Shan Mansion. Seeing how wary he was about the Han believers, Zhu Kui suddenly understood why Zhao Da was not dissatisfied with Ma Yuanyi's behavior, which was similar to that of a bird occupying a bird's nest.
posture.
Taipingdao has slowly emerged from the underground cult organization, and it has become much more arrogant in its actions. It has a warlord mentality and seizes people's houses. It has exposed its fangs and become more and more unscrupulous.
Zhao Da knew that his refusal to join Taiping Dao had made Ma Yuanyi unhappy, and he needed to cater to him in other ways. After all, he was no longer alone, and he had to keep his legacy.
Don't be involved with Taiping Dao, but don't be too distant and be considered hostile by them. Otherwise, if your whole family is destroyed, you will cry without tears.
During the three days of being trapped, Zhu Kui discovered whether he had really become a fragrant steamed bun. Zhao Da was more interested in him than Ma Yuanyi, which made him think that he would not be the one to take me as his disciple.
Is he really such a genius that everyone is competing with him? Fortunately, these are all Zhu Kui's own delusions. Zhao Da only expressed his desire to get close to him and asked about some conversations about study, ambitions, etc.
Earlier in the thatched pavilion, Zhu Kui had wondered whether Zhao Da's eyes were shaped differently than ordinary people. This time he had the opportunity to confirm. He changed his expression and asked: "Brother Zhao, can I take a look at your eyes?"
.”
"My eyes?" Zhao Da was obviously puzzled by Zhu Kui's sudden request.
"I heard that those who are alchemists must be different from ordinary people, so I want to see it." Zhu Kui said with a smile.
Zhao Da knelt down on the table and nodded to express his permission. Zhu Kui walked up to her, carefully opened his eyelids, put his head close to his head, and observed carefully.
Sure enough, the lens was more protruding, with a hint of turbidity. This was what the world calls cataracts. No wonder I often heard anecdotes from blind men in my previous life. It seems that these are the sequelae of a gifted person.
Zhu Kui retracted his hand, sat back in his seat, smiled and said nothing, and did not explain everything he knew about patients born with cataracts.
"Brother Zhu, look at Zhao's eyes. Do you have any new insights?" Zhao Da gently rubbed his sore eyes and asked aloud.
"I don't have any opinion. It's just that Brother Zhao, your eyes are dry. Pay more attention to hygiene when washing your eyes, and try to read as little as possible at night to reduce fatigue. It will be good for your eyes." Zhu Kui said some common sense about eye care, and that's all he knew.
.
Seeing that Zhu Kui's words were logical and logical, Zhao Da became more and more convinced that all those who are emperors and ministers must have inhuman qualifications. He said curiously: "I don't think that little brother Zhu is also involved in eye medicine."
"Fei Mao Er, I want to arrange the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Heaven and Earth Bagua, or use formations, and how to apply them. I need to ask Brother Zhao for advice." Zhu Kui handed over his hand and asked for advice. Zhao Da was an alchemist and he had great interest in the study of Yi.
Jian's unique insight beyond the interpretation of Confucianism.
"Little brother Zhu wants to learn, and he knows everything he knows without saying anything." Then the two started asking and answering questions.
Ma Yuanyi naturally took notice of Zhao Da's unusual attitude towards Zhu Kui. He also asked about it in private, but was put off. "Brother Zhu and I just hit it off at first sight. Brother Yuanyi, don't be suspicious."
Fortunately, he was about to meet Jibei. It was useless to let him have any ideas. Ma Yuanyi felt that he should also show some talents to impress Zhu Kui and felt that there was something to be learned from following him, including Taoist academics.
Documentation is not appropriate. A verbal dispute cannot be convinced by just a few words. I saw that he used the dagger beautifully that day, so he must be a brave man. In this case, only my swordsmanship can arouse the other party's interest.
Then he wrote a picture scroll overnight and gave it to Zhu Kui.
"This is Taoist swordsmanship, the secret of my Taoist sect." Ma Yuanyi introduced: "You threw the dagger beautifully that day, but from the way you held the dagger upside down, I know that you have learned the art of sharp weapon attack, and you must be able to see it.
You know the authenticity and value of this sword manual."
The white silk is very large and is divided into three parts. The fencing chapter has nine palaces and thirty-six postures; there are also thirty-six palaces of jumping steps and the Zixiao shape of twenty-eight postures. There are more than a hundred illustrations, and there are densely packed pictures beside them.
Judging from the ink mark, Ma Yuanyi should have written it not long ago...
This sword diagram is precious. Zhu Kui knew it at a glance. At this moment, his heart was filled with ups and downs. Ma Yuanyi didn't want to joke with him anymore. This sword diagram was an upper-level fencing technique. Just leave it to him like this. He really wanted to accept me as his disciple.
?
Zhu Kui looked at the smile on Ma Yuanyi's face and knew that he must be thinking, you must have felt my sincerity, accept it, as long as you learn, you can't escape the fact that I am Ma Yuanyi's disciple no matter what.
It's just that Zhu Kui knew Ma Yuanyi's plan, but he still accepted the sword diagram according to his wishes, but he didn't have to bow down and worship the teacher. His idea was very simple. He was under house arrest, without any freedom, and he would not receive any benefits to compensate him.
, how can I be worthy of the hard work of these two days?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Yuanyi." Zhu Kui put away the sword diagram and waited to study it carefully when he had free time.
Seeing that Zhu Kui accepted it without gratitude, Ma Yuanyi was satisfied. As long as he was willing to accept it, this would be a good start. He ordered that if there was anything you didn't understand about the sword diagram, you could come and ask him, and then left.
On the third day, Ma Yuanyi led Zhu Kui, escorted by a group of Yellow Turban believers, to say goodbye to Zhao Da at the gate of Shan Mansion. Yuanyi still did not give up inviting Zhao Da to join Taiping Dao.
"Brother Zhao Xian, please continue to think about it. If you change your mind, you can contact the Yangzhou Taiping Dao believers."
"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later."
The two of them kept saying goodbye, and not far from the Shan Mansion, a loud and hateful voice shook the surroundings, and loudly came: "The demon Dao Ma Yuanyi, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you will be here!"
The four young men, armed with weapons, rushed towards them with great momentum, alarming everyone around them. Pedestrians ducked out of the way and watched from a distance.
The visitor was evil. The Yellow Turban believers in front of Shan Mansion drew out their sabers to guard Ma Yuanyi. One of them jumped out and pointed a knife at the four young men: "Who dares to insult the Lord God Envoy!"
Ma Yuanyi stopped the believers and signaled not to act rashly. Instead, he was very patient. He turned around, cupped his hands and asked with a smile: "Brothers, do you have any misunderstandings with Mr. Ma? If Mr. Ma has any regrets, please let me know in advance.
Apologize."
These four people were naturally Sun Jian and his family generals who had come all the way from the inn. Sun Jian did not speak, but looked coldly at Ma Yuanyi and those around him. His murderous intent was as real as ever, which made the Yellow Turban believers tremble with fear, and finally stopped at Zhu Kui.
.
Zhu Kui naturally recognized Sun Jian and his group. When he saw that the other party suddenly appeared to trouble Ma Yuanyi, he was a little surprised and even more surprised. Maybe he could leave in the chaos, but those four pairs of eyes were staring at him with murderous intent, making him
Zhu Kui's heart skipped a beat, he no longer considered himself a member of the Yellow Turban Party.
He quickly stood up and said clearly: "I have met Mr. Sun. I don't want my younger brother to be a guest in Shan Mansion and still meet Mr. Sun."
"I wonder what the relationship between Brother Zhu and Na Ma Yuanyi is?" Cheng Pu asked on the side.
"It's just a prisoner's ear!" Zhu Kui smiled bitterly.
"My young master wants to kill Ma Yuanyi. Since you have nothing to do with him, then step aside and I will save you in a moment." Zu Mao shouted while wielding a knife.
"Alright, Zu Mao and Cheng Pu, stop talking nonsense and kill these Taiping demons." Sun Jian impatiently scolded, holding the Gudian knife in one hand, shouted, and rushed towards Ma Yuanyi: "
