Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Since subduing the bandits and occupying Laojun Mountain, Xiang Nan has taken root and has his own territory.

Before that, although he was also highly respected in the Buddha Laughing Tower, it was after all the property of Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others.

After occupying Laojun Mountain, Xiang Nan drove all the bandits to repair Laojun Temple. Clean up the trash, build a house, wash the well, rebuild your golden body...

Over the years, Laojunguan's incense has not flourished, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. In addition, these thieves didn't know how to take care of it and destroyed it wantonly, which turned a good royal Taoist temple into a broken tile kiln.

If Xiang Nan wants to establish a foundation here, he naturally needs to repair it.

These thieves had no weapons, and were frightened by Xiang Nan's martial arts, they did not dare to disobey, so they had to work hard under the supervision of the heroes, hoping that Xiang Nan would show mercy and let them go down the mountain soon.

The construction, repair, and decoration of the house were all designed and constructed by Xiang Nan. He inherited Chen Xiaozheng's architectural knowledge, and he also has a lot of research on ancient architecture.

Seeing that under Xiang Nan's guidance, the Laojun Temple was gradually repaired and expanded, restoring its former splendor, and all the disciples couldn't help admiring it.

...

When Xiang Nan was repairing the Taoist temple, those women and hostages who were let down by him all spread the reputation of Tai Chi Daoist when they returned home.

So, soon everyone in the neighborhood knew that there was a Tai Chi master from Laojun Mountain, who acted on behalf of the heavens, punished evil and promoted good, and wiped out the bandits who had been in trouble for many years.

For a time, it was naturally praised by everyone. There were even a few village elders who specially brought their juniors, carried drinks, and brought chickens and ducks up the mountain to thank them.

Of course, it's a thank you in name. It implies that it is probably also to find out the truth, to see whether Xiang Nan is a good person or an even worse villain.

Xiang Nan guessed their thoughts, so he received them warmly.

"I am the Daoist Master Taiji, who is also the master of the Taiji Gate. Our sect learns from Taoism, which emphasizes tranquility and inaction, Taoism is natural, virtuous and compassionate. So folks, don't be afraid." Xiang Nan said with a smile. .

When the villagers heard it, they were naturally happy and expressed their thanks one after another.

Before leaving, Xiang Nan returned them a more important gift, which made these folks feel more at ease and grateful.

...

In the next half a year, Laojun Temple gradually restored its former glory after being repaired.

The number of houses has increased from 18 to 42; the warehouse has increased from two to eight; the piggery has increased from one to six; The chicken coop and the duck coop are increased by three times each...

In addition to the increase in real estate, gold and silver fines have also increased significantly.

Three hundred taels of gold, fifteen thousand taels of silver, forty pieces of gold and silver wine vessels, two boxes of pearls, agates and emeralds, twenty bolts of silk and satin, fifty bolts of cotton and linen, twenty-five pieces of furs of various colors...

Although Xiang Nan told the village elders that Taijimen is merciful, quiet and inaction. But in fact, it also depends on whom. For the poor people and ordinary businessmen, it is natural that Qiu has committed no crimes and lives in peace.

But for those local tyrants and evil gentry, bully landlords, and corrupt officials, Xiang Nan is not polite, and wants to do justice for the sky, punish evil and promote good.

In the past six months, he led Jun Bao, Qiu Xue, Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others to do several major cases, punishing dozens of corrupt officials, bully landlords, illegal profiteers, and the amount of money he robbed was as many as several Thousands of taels are huge.

This is also the reason why Laojunguan can restore its former glory. After all, it is absolutely impossible to rebuild Guanyu and reshape the golden body without money.

And because they have long-distance acquaintances and close-range attacks, they often choose to commit crimes in other state capitals, ride back and forth, and leave with one blow, so few people know that these major crimes are actually done by them.

...

Seeing that the Laojun Temple has been renovated and restored to its former glory, Xiang Nan also decided to be overjoyed and formally married Xiaodonggua.

In the past six months, his relationship with Little Winter Melon has become increasingly close.

On the one hand, Xiaodonggua admires his talent, character, and martial arts, and loves him. And Xiang Nan also likes Xiaodonggua's intelligence and beauty, so Lang has lovers and concubines, and they all walk together, and naturally they get closer.

On the one hand, he taught Xiaodonggua Wing Chun, and the two often practice Chi Shou. Pushing back and forth to block the past, physical contact every day, and unity of mind will also help to enhance the relationship.

Just like modern people dancing, you hug me and I hug you, jumping around and getting together. If it weren't for the fact that it is ancient times and the folk customs are still relatively conservative, Xiang Nan and Xiaodonggua would have become a good thing long ago.

Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua are getting married, so everyone is naturally happy.

On the one hand, male college students should get married and female college students should get married. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is to have no offspring. Xiang Nan's kung fu is so good, it is natural that there must be someone who can inherit it; on the one hand, Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua are both talented and beautiful, a perfect match made in heaven, and no one will object to it.

So everyone immediately started to gather together. Buying wine and meat, slaughtering pigs and sheep, putting on lanterns and festoons, and playing drums and music. In order to celebrate this grand event, all heroes sent out hero posts one after another, inviting comrades from all walks of life to come and watch the ceremony.

So on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the wedding of Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua was officially held.

...

"One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, husband and wife bow to each other, and send them to the bridal chamber~" the master of ceremonies shouted loudly.

Both Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua have no parents, so they paid homage to the high hall for the second time, and what they got was the portrait of Master Jueyuan.

After worshiping, the little winter melon was sent to the bridal chamber, and Xiang Nan made a toast with the guests watching the ceremony one by one.

"Master, this is Master Jiang from Wuji Sect in Huaiqing Mansion ~ this is Master Sun from Yanqing Boxing in Guide Mansion ~ this is Master Zhao from Erlang Boxing in Kaifeng Mansion ~ this is Liu Erye, the successor of the Drunken Eight Immortals in Taiyuan Mansion , known as Yanxia Sanren..." Deng Chang and Zhu Gui helped introduce.

Xiang Nan greeted them one by one.

It was the first time he had seen these martial artists.

"Taiji Master, it is said that you have created a boxing method, using stillness to stop, using softness to overcome rigidity, and being different from others. Today, all the heroes are here. Can you let everyone experience it?" Master Sun asked loudly. .

Hearing what he said, all the heroes echoed, "Really, let us see and see."

"Okay, since everyone is so supportive, let's demonstrate." Xiang Nan nodded and said, then came to the venue and started to demonstrate.

Everyone watched with wide eyes, hoping to learn a thing or two.

But they are purely delusional. Taijiquan is different from other boxing methods, the moves are not important, the key is the artistic conception. Pay attention to one thing, if you don't use force, it will break; if you don't use it, it will be exhausted. The mind moves the breath, the mind comes to the breath.

So even if they memorize all the moves, it still won't help, but it will be easier to get beaten. Just like those so-called masters of Taijiquan who only know the moves but don't understand the artistic conception, and they are defeated in the end. They might as well practice Sanda or wrestling.

"Is this slow effort really useful?"

"This is the so-called new boxing method? I don't see how powerful it is."

"It seems that all kinds of Taijiquan are blown too hard."

Seeing Xiang Nan's demonstration of Taijiquan, soft and weak, weak and boneless, slowly moving, grinding and chirping, the guests were a little bit disapproving.

At this moment, Deng Chang and Zhu Gui moved a two-inch thick bluestone slab and placed it in the field.

Xiang Nan immediately patted it down. There was a muffled sound, and the stone slab broke into two pieces.

"Hey~" Everyone's eyes widened when they saw it.
