Life in the countryside is actually very slow and quiet.

With the onset of winter, the farm work has ended, and the townspeople no longer have much farm work to deal with except for a few bits and pieces.

After a busy year, people finally have some leisure to enjoy this rare peace.

Taking advantage of this atmosphere, Lu Yuan also put down his plan to go into the mountains to hunt and stay at home every day.

In addition to the fixed practice of palm techniques, expanding meridians and tempering internal strength, from time to time, he will bring some bacon and hors d’oeuvres, and find his cheap teacher Sun Siwen to cook wine in the oven and talk about it.

Lu Yuan still likes to chat with Sun Siwen.

Although Sun Siwen was looked down upon by the people in the town, he thought that he was in his twenties, and he couldn’t even pass the exam for a show talent, which was really a shame for scholars.

But for the classic subset of the imperial examination, Lu Yuan was not interested.

“Zi Yu, the one who knows” or something, it sounds uninteresting.

Compared with these, he is more interested, or prefers to talk to Sun Siwen about the country of Vietnam and the customs and customs of various places.

There is a good saying.

Xiucai does not go out and can know the affairs of the world. Compared with the

peasants who have been spinning in the farmland all their lives, the foot merchant who only walks in a certain range can often meet with other scholars and come into contact with Sun Siwen, who is at a higher level, and the knowledge and vision he understands are obviously a level higher than others.

Just like.

Through Sun Siwen’s mouth, Lu Yuan learned that the country of Yue had eight counties and seventy-two provinces, more than a thousand counties, a territory of thousands of miles, and a vast territory. I also learned that the Kingdom of Yue was not the

only dynasty in the world, and in the north, there were the State of Liang and the State of Zhou, both of which were great powers that were not inferior to the State of Yue.

Among them, the Liang State and the Yue State did not deal with each other, and there were occasional confrontations between the two sides, but they only caused some friction on the border and did not fight a big war. And around the three countries,

there are also some small countries around them, strong and weak, respectively paying tribute and confrontation to the three countries.

Lu Yuan also knew that it was now the nineteenth year of Longqing.

It has been thirty years since the Son of Heaven of Longqing, and Longqing is his third and longest used year name, which has been almost twenty years.

All of the above and so on are information that cannot be obtained in rural teahouses.

Therefore, for his cheap teacher, he walked more and more.

……

On this day, Lu Yuan came to bring wine, and met with Sun Siwen to come to Meilin outside the town, and brewed wine together in the small pavilion by the road.

Today’s topic is mythology, folk legends.

Since he knew that there were martial arts in this world, and he had practiced it himself, Lu Yuan had become extremely interested in the legendary immortal method.

Although he doesn’t know whether this is a martial arts world or a fairy world.

For more than a year, I have been walking in the mountains, and I have never seen any monsters. The Fox Immortal Wild Gods and the like only exist in legends.

But none of this prevents him from understanding the truth of the world of exploration.

At this time, the best way is naturally through Sun Siwen’s mouth.

Fortunately, this grand brother, although he did not study history well, could not pass the Xiucai exam. But for some rural anecdotes, gods and legends, but I know a lot, and I don’t read related anthologies on weekdays.

At this time, when we talk about it, we are also talking about it.

Especially in the stories of some scholars rushing to meet fox fairies, men and women having a night of affair, and being given examination fees, Sun Shusheng is even more like this.

In this regard, Lu Yuan privately guessed. This may be

professional empathy, or it may be a long downfall, and Brother Sun’s heart is extremely depressed, so he will be particularly fond of this kind of beautiful woman and overnight rich book business lewd stories.

Fortunately, he does not reject these stories.

After all, men…

How can the topic between each other not have a little color?

Even talking about Xingtou, the two also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each fragrant story, whether the fox fairy is better, or the shell girl is better, commenting down, the face of the fight is red, and finally laughed again.

But Sun Siwen is a scholar in the end.

These lewd stories are only told as idle jokes, and they are not discussed. The topic was slowly transferred to the court of the world, and he talked about the Buddhist path today.

Today, Emperor Longqing admires Buddhism and canonizes several mages, all of whom are rumored to have unfathomable abilities, can tread on water, control flames, and are true immortal figures.

In order to provide for these real mages, Emperor Longqing spent tens of thousands of gold, recruited conscription, and built several large palaces and temples near the national capital for several real mages to live in.

At the same time, it has built Taoist temples in the world, giving these monks and Taoists the right to tax exemption, which can be said to be extremely generous.

“Today’s peaceful world depends on my Confucian sages’ merits. Those monks did not submit to conscription, did not pay taxes, took in the dead, committed adultery in the temples, and caused chaos to the court.

Sun Siwen talked about the chaos in the court today, although he has no merit at all, he is still just a fart, but he has the demeanor of Lu Yuan’s Internet sage in his previous life.

At this time, drinking a glass of green plum wine, he began to govern: “The hateful king was actually seduced by these demon people and connived at them, and in the long run, the country will not be a country.” What

is the greatest sorrow for a Confucian?

Of course, what he has learned is not valued by the king, and his lifelong ambitions cannot be realized.

And for a scholar who has empty ambitions but does not even have a reputation, this sadness is even greater.

Because he will find that he has studied hard for more than ten years, but in the eyes of the emperor, he is not comparable to those demon people who can only pretend to be ghosts and demagoguery.

At the very least, those demon people can be tax-exempt, can become the guests of the dignitaries, and there are countless people to worship.

But he is a family disciple with four walls, and he also has to bear the tax of forced labor, how can a bitter word be described.

Therefore, the indignation and frustration in Sun Siwen’s heart at this time is understandable. It is also common for people to complain about two sentences.

Although Lu Yuan felt that if he reported this grand brother to the government, with the above words, the other party would definitely be indispensable for the crime of mismatching.

But who is he? How

could a trainee elder, the arrow god of Lantau Island, and a person who lived with the sky, do such a tasteless thing of betraying friends?

So this thought, just circled in my mind, and then found that doing this thing is basically not beneficial, but will ruin the reputation, and it will be completely suppressed.

Things that are not beneficial, I Lu will not do.

However, compared to Sun Siwen’s complaints, the real mage mentioned in the other party’s previous words instantly attracted his attention.

Treading water, harnessing flames…

Although Sun Siwen scoffed, he only thought that it was a demon pretending to be a ghost, and he didn’t know what means to make a trick to deceive Junshang.

But for Lu Yuan, the understanding of the whole thing changed in an instant.

“Although from my current exploration of this world, I have not found any mountain spirits and wild monsters, foxes, ghosts, and immortals. But since there are such mysterious forces as martial arts internal forces in this world, there is a mysterious power that is not in line with common sense.

Then the appearance of some people who have mastered the magical powers of immortal law is not so difficult to understand and impossible.

These real mages who claim to be able to tread water and fight fire, since they can get such respect from the emperor, may really have real skills and master some mysterious powers that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Lu Yuan pondered secretly in his heart, and then cooperated with Sun Siwen and scolded a few demon people, and from his mouth, he got some rumors about demon people.

For example, there was a mage who claimed to be invincible. In the middle of the city, directly reach into the hot oil pan, and then take it out intact without injury.

Another real person, claiming to be able to read minds, on the street, casually pulled a stranger, can say what the other party has done before, it is amazing.

What’s more, it is a real person from the Heavenly Master Mansion, and it is rumored that his people are amazingly powerful and can control thunder to drive away evil. At that time, there was a high-ranking official house in Kyoto that was haunted, so he asked this real person to help.

This real person of the Heavenly Master Mansion just came to the main court of the high-ranking official’s mansion, cast a spell and drank, and then there seemed to be thunder around him, and there was a woman’s wailing sound.

Then the real person said that the sneak had been destroyed by thunder. Since then, there has really been no evil thing in the high-ranking official’s mansion, which was immediately amazed by the people of the time and widely spread.

Even Lu Yuan, in fact, when drinking tea in the county tea soup two months ago, he heard a merchant say about this, but it has long been a version that I don’t know how many times it has changed.

It has long been unrecognizable, and it sounds even more bizarre.

At that time, it was only a myth and legend, laughed it off, and did not care much.

At this time, after listening to what Sun Shusheng said, it suddenly became clear that this was talking about the real deeds of the dynasty.

However, after hearing these deeds, he began to speculate.

Because these stories sound too much like a god stick using tricks to deceive the world and pretend to be a ghost.

For example, the hot oil pot stretched out, Lu Yuan knew that there was a scientific method that could be easily done.

There is also the so-called mind reading, it is not difficult to arrange a few trays in advance, or collect information with a snack.

As for Leifa exterminating ghosts, it is even simpler. Born sneaky may not be there, but man-made sneaky, it is not easy to create?

All in all, these stories are too much like some of the tricks of the liars he has seen in his previous life, and it is difficult not to make people think about it when they hear it from him at this time.

“So maybe this is really just a martial arts world, and there are no immortals?” Recalling the story he had just heard, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but hesitate.

However, this suspicion only lasted for a while, and was forgotten by him. Regardless of whether these are

deceptions or not, whether those real mages will immortal magic or not, these are too far away from themselves.

Kyoto is thousands of miles away from Oyu Prefecture, and the things over there are really just rumors for this remote prefecture.

“And compared to these ethereal things, it is the most realistic to practice my Liuyun Palm first.” Lu Yuan laughed at himself, then raised his glass and continued to drink with Sun Siwen.

……

Since that day of brewing wine, Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen have gathered a lot less.

This is not because the two have any contradictions and the relationship has deteriorated, mainly because they each have things to be busy with.

Among them, Sun Siwen is busy reading the classics hard, forgetting to sleep and eat in order to read.

This scholar, who has been a child student for more than ten years, is preparing to apply for the spring examination for the twelfth time next February, and once again hit Xiucai’s fame.

I don’t know if it can be done this time?

Judging by past examples, estimates are in the air.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was busy practicing martial arts.

The previous trip to the South China Sea gave him gains not only in terms of money. It also gave him a clear understanding of his own level of strength.

“The leader of the Green Bamboo Gang I killed that day also practiced internal strength, and judging by the iron rod he was holding, he probably practiced some exercises. The overall strength should be similar to what I am today.

Lu Yuan carefully recalled the situation that day, and the vague concept in his heart gradually became clear.

“But such a person, in the Green Bamboo Gang, is only a small leader, at most a middle-level manager, not even a high-level manager.

According to this situation, then the high-level of the Green Bamboo Gang, those gang leader elders, at least practiced two meridians and initially mastered a martial art third-rate master.

Dayu County is obviously richer than Nanhai County, and the Black Wolf Gang here can control such a territory, and its strength should be stronger than that of the Green Bamboo Gang.

Maybe the gang leader of the Black Wolf Gang is a second-rate master who has practiced six meridians and has little internal strength.

Inferring this, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but think of that Ma Jiqing at the beginning.

This person has a flowing cloud palm, and his cultivation is obviously much stronger than his current self, and he is likely to have practiced the second layer of the mental method, opened three or four meridians, and his strength belongs to the peak of the third rate.

And it was such a good hand, but he was still seriously injured and fled.

Those who can do this may only be second-rate masters with small internal strength.

But after guessing this, Lu Yuan quickly thought of something: “Since Ma Jiqing was seriously injured, he must have fought with the high-level of the Black Wolf Gang, and there must be people who know Liuyunzhang among the other gang.”

And I got Ma Jiqing’s martial arts, although I killed the other party and touched the corpse, but the Black Wolf Gang doesn’t know it?

After all, according to the normal routine, after the other party gets this situation, it is very likely that Lu Yuan worshiped Ma Jiqing as a teacher, won the mantle of the other party, and then practiced martial arts hard, ready to avenge his master.

This is the style that traditional martial arts should take.

As for his explanation, he did not worship the teacher, but helped the Black Wolf Gang kill enemies and the like.

Let’s not say whether the other party believes it or not, let’s say that a second-rate martial arts secret book is enough to cause people to be greedy and start killing.

Lu Yuan felt that at this time, there was an extra big black pot on his body, and he didn’t know when it would fall down.

“Therefore, I still have to double my practice, do not practice full flowing cloud palms, small internal strength, and become a second-rate master, and must not wave on the rivers and lakes.”

He secretly cheered up in his heart.

But he has already made up his mind that in the future, if he can enter the city less, he will enter the city less, and try his best to avoid the people of the Black Wolf Gang. Even if you meet, you must not show your martial arts skills in front of the other party.

Otherwise, a trouble is absolutely indispensable.

The rivers and lakes are too dangerous, they will fight and kill at every turn, and they are a noble immortal, and they really can’t fight with those reckless men.

They should play to their own strengths, compare life with each other, and survive them.

Until they are old, and the strength of their children and grandchildren has not yet grown, they will go to punch the Beihai Old People’s Home, kick the Nanshan Kindergarten, and send the other party’s family into the soil neatly.

Isn’t this fragrant?
