Longevity begins with a proud smile

Chapter 22
The next morning.

After Zhuo Lingfeng finished his breakfast, he bid farewell to Lin Zhennan's family.

They are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, what should be said should not be said, and the matter has long been fine-tuned. Lin Zhennan immediately arranged for his servants to prepare a healthy horse and some gold and silver for Zhuo Lingfeng.

Zhuo Lingfeng didn't refuse either.

It was just that Lin Zhennan and his son had dark circles under their eyes, apparently they hadn't slept all night, and wanted to ask them how they were thinking, but they didn't feel right, so they didn't ask.

This Mrs. Lin is a hero of the female school. Although she has little acquaintance with Zhuo Lingfeng, she admires his martial arts and personality from the bottom of her heart, but her eye circles are red.

Lin Zhennan and his son were already reluctant to part with Zhuo Lingfeng. Influenced by her, Lin Zhennan stood upright and maintained his posture, but Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing this, Zhuo Lingfeng was silent for a while, then made a decision in his heart, and said sincerely: "Boss Lin, I have a predestined relationship with your Lin family, and I am very grateful for your chivalrous heart.

There are countless miraculous skills in this world, perhaps not as fast as the sword art of warding off evil spirits, but the achievements are limitless!

After half a year, I will come to Fuzhou again, and pass on the martial arts of the young escort that can cross the rivers and lakes with a few moves.

But if you think it’s your own stuff and you can use it with more peace of mind, then take it as my words, you haven’t heard of it! "

Zhuo Lingfeng knew that although Lin Pingzhi was chivalrous, he had a changeable personality and was very similar to Yue Buqun.

This is also an important factor for him to capture Yue Lingshan's heart in the original trajectory.

But if he leaves here, Lin Pingzhi no longer wants to embark on the road of cutting chickens, but he must long for strength in his heart. If there is no way, it seems that he has no choice!

But he didn't dare to teach the Lin family martial arts rashly.

The reason why we say we have to wait for half a year is that on the one hand, we must go back and report to Master for approval.

Secondly, Taoist martial arts, the most important thing is the state of mind.

Grinding Lin Pingzhi's temperament is also a test.

If he can bear it for half a year and teach him martial arts by himself, not only will he be able to learn something, but he won't worry that if he can't stand the temptation, he will be a disaster in the future.

If he can't even bear this, then he has done his best!
After all, Zhuo Lingfeng blamed himself for "Sword of Exorcising Evil" and promised to protect the Fuwei Escort Bureau!

When the benefit is out of proportion to the effort, no matter it is a sect or an individual, they all know how to do it!
Of course, if I don't live for half a year, then everything will be over, so what can I say!

Zhuo Lingfeng's thoughts were naturally unknown to him, especially when Mrs. Lin heard this, she didn't know the meaning behind it, and hurriedly asked Lin Pingzhi to kowtow to him, as if she was a teacher.

Zhuo Lingfeng stopped him and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't need to do this!

But you have to remember, if I come after half a year, I can only have the reality of master and apprentice, not the name of master and apprentice! "

Mrs. Lin couldn't help being startled, and looked at her husband blankly.

Lin Zhennan took over the conversation and said, "Let us, father and son, give our brother a ride!"

Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes were very deep, and he said quietly: "Boss Lin, once I walk out of Fuzhou City, I will definitely become a right and wrong person.

From now on, your attitude towards me must not make people feel grateful.

You have to make people feel that you have to submit to let me get the "Evil Resisting Sword Manual", and you have to show a kind of grievance, just keep your distance from me.

The head of the escort naturally understands the speed! "

During the conversation, several people had already arrived at the gate of Fuwei Escort Bureau.

Mrs. Lin was in a cloud of confusion and didn't understand anything.

But when Zhuo Lingfeng said that there were only masters and apprentices, Lin Zhennan understood that he had taken everything into consideration.

In a word, Zhuo Lingfeng can only be relied on as a backer, but the relationship between the two parties cannot be close enough to be friends, or even relatives!

The reason, anyone who knows understands it!
Lin Pingzhi still wanted to speak.

Zhuo Lingfeng clasped his fists at the three of them, stamped his feet, his body was as light as flying, soared into the air, and landed lightly on the horse's back. He stared at Lin Pingzhi and said seriously: "There is no regret in the past, but the future can be expected. You and I encourage each other." !"

"drive--"

Zhuo Lingfeng clamped his legs and galloped out of the city along Qingshi Avenue on his horse.

Lin Pingzhi followed him with his eyes until he could no longer see him, and murmured: "There is no regret in the past, but the future can be expected!"

Lin Zhennan sighed: "Son, when I first met Brother Zhuo, he was dressed in rags, his face was yellow and thin, and he had been hungry for a long time!
Now that I have achieved such achievements, and I still don’t forget my little favor, it can be said that I have been drinking ice for ten years, and it is difficult to cool my blood!

It is also fortunate that you and my father and son are not conscientious and meticulous, and will eventually tire the great virtues!

Do you understand what he means? ! "

He could understand that Zhuo Lingfeng's last words of encouragement were to ask his son not to forget his chivalrous heart, so that the future will be bright and bright.

And if he hadn't done a trivial matter ten years ago, how could he have received Zhuo Lingfeng's full help?

I can't help but think that it is true what the Buddhists said, "One drink and one peck, is it pre-determined?".

Lin Pingzhi nodded, with firmness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhuo, you want to tell me that everything in the past is a prologue.

In the future, you will have to stand tall and hold your chest high! ".

Lin Zhennan showed joy, nodded and said, "It's good that you know!"

Mrs. Lin saw the father and son chattering, talking about things she couldn't understand, and she couldn't help shouting angrily: "Are you tired, don't forget that the son was born to me!".

Lin Zhennan whispered in her ear: "Okay, let's have a big fat son next year!"

Mrs. Lin let out a sound of pooh, her face flushed, and she spat: "You are not serious, what nonsense are you talking about in front of your son!"

Lin Zhennan laughed, turned around and entered the bodyguard bureau!

……

is the day.

Because it had just rained, the official road leading to Hengshan City was full of fresh grass, clear and comfortable.

A black horse galloped along the avenue like the wind, and the rider was Zhuo Lingfeng.

He traveled all the way from Fujian and walked for more than ten days without haste. His face was slightly dusty. Compared with him before, there was a bit more blood on his sharp-edged, pale face like snow. The deep and sharp eyes were also a little more gentle.

It was because his mind was over, and after only a dozen days of effort, his internal energy cultivation had improved again.

Because there is a saying in Taoism: Essence, Qi, and God are called the three elements, and those who combine the three elements will achieve success!
Essence is transformed into qi, and the body does not move;

Those who turn into gods from Qi, do not move their minds;

Deification into emptiness, from the immobility of the mind!

Whether it is the internal energy in the Nine Yin Manual or the internal energy taught by Quanzhen, it is the way of refining Qi in the internal family.

In martial arts, there is also a theory that energy is born from the heart, the mind and the spirit are in harmony, the body and the mind are in harmony, the heart comes from the force, and the intention does not use force.

Quanzhen Sect pays attention to the dual cultivation of life and soul, and requires the renunciation of love and hatred in order to be able to see the universe and all living beings, which is the highest point of practice.But this is almost a heartless way!
Therefore, Ma Yu and Sun Bu'er were husband and wife back then, and after receiving the teachings from Wang Chongyang, they became Taoist friends and were no longer husband and wife!

Although they haven't cultivated to great success, they can also see the importance of state of mind.

Of course, the most important state of mind is to highlight the word "quiet".

Zhuo Lingfeng's current level of cultivation only needs to get through the two veins of Ren and Du, and the intersection of yin and yang, which is what Taoism calls the intersection of dragon and tiger, and enter the stage of refining qi and transforming gods.

There is a way to empty the mind, and the spirit and nature will unite; to calm the body, the essence and emotion will be silent; if the mind is calm, the three elements will be mixed.

This is the so-called three flowers gather at the top, the five qi are towards the Yuan, and the dantian condenses the elixir.

It is the highest state of Taoist martial arts.

So when it comes to him, cleaning up his body and mind is the most important thing!
Zhuo Lingfeng received the favor of Lin Zhennan when he was ten years old, and he remembered it all the time, which had a great impact on his state of mind, which also affected his progress in cultivation.

But the trip to Fuzhou gave him a place to rest his mind.

The Taoist skills can be practiced by walking, sitting and lying down, and one can improve one's skills with peace of mind. This is all logical!
As soon as Zhuo Lingfeng arrived at the gate of Hengshan City, he rode slowly on his horse, and when he entered the city, he saw all the people coming and going on the street, all armed with various weapons.

He had long known that the Hengshan School Liu Zhengfeng Golden Basin washing ceremony was a grand event that people in the Jianghu yearned for.

The Five Sacred Sword Sect has a great reputation in the martial arts world, and they formed an alliance with each other, known as "Five Sacred Sword Sect, united with one another!"

Liu Zhengfeng is the younger brother of Mr. Mo Da, the head of the Nanyue Hengshan School "Xiaoxiang Yeyu", and also the first generation of masters in this school. He has a great reputation in the Jianghu, and he almost has the potential to surpass Mr. Mo Da.

At this juncture, why he washed his hands in a golden basin has aroused many people's speculation.

Some people have the same purpose as Zhuo Lingfeng...

Well, can't say exactly the same.

It can only be said that they are similar, Zhuo Lingfeng wants to meet the masters of the world for a while, and they want to meet the masters of the world.

People at the level of the head of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, most of the world only hears their names, but never sees them!

As long as they can meet each other at this grand meeting, it will be enough to sit down and talk about wine with the heroes of the world.

After all, people in the Jianghu chase after stars, no less than the brainless fans of stars from all walks of life in previous lives.

This caused the entire Hengshan City to be overcrowded.

The dignified Zhuo Lingfeng and Zhuo Shaoxia even asked several inns, and the waiter in the inn almost always said: "It will be a good day for Uncle Liu to wash his hands in a golden basin. The inn is full of congratulatory guests. You should look elsewhere!"

Zhuo Lingfeng saw that the sky was dark, and if he didn't look for a place, he would be ruined.

He went to the restaurant again, wanting to eat something, but there was no room.

After a while, the sky began to rain lightly.

Zhuo Lingfeng also thought that as long as he reported his name and went to Liu Zhengfeng's mansion, he would definitely treat him as a guest of honor.

But then I thought about it, people didn't invite me, and they came to the door in a downcast, like an autumn wind, so I lost my mind and could only rely on myself.

Seeing God, I finally found a dilapidated tavern in a remote street. When I stretched out my eyes, there were still vacant seats, so I dismounted from the horse, tied the horse, went straight into the hotel, and walked to a table. Sitting down at the wooden table, he said, "Bring some good wine, and cut three catties of beef!"

The waiter in the shop just wiped the table for him with a rag, he was taken aback for a moment, and said: "To tell the truth, because of Mr. Liu's incident, the wine in the small shop was basically sold out by the big restaurant, and now it's all for the guests. , It’s about selling bowls!”.

Zhuo Lingfeng was quite helpless about this, thinking: "Liu Zhengfeng alone can promote the development of the local economy!"

But he didn't look at Xiao Er either, he just took out a large silver ingot from his pocket, which was as much as 20 taels, put it on the table, and said: "Do as I say, no need to look for it!"

"Okay, just wait a moment, the villain will get it for you right away!"

Xiao Er was very happy, picked up the silver, gave Zhuo Lingfeng a deep bow, and hurried away.

As long as there are common sense things in this world, there is nothing that money cannot solve.

If not, it can only mean that you don't have enough money, or you are not willing to spend it.

Since Zhuo Lingfeng learned martial arts, he has no shortage of money to spend, and he never takes money as money.

This kind of heroic operation, in Xiaoer's eyes, is the serious "God of Wealth" who has descended to earth.

A jug of wine and a few catties of beef sold for 20 taels of silver, and the shopkeeper was also happy. According to the commission, he would share three or five taels, which was a few months' wages.

At the beginning, Zhuo Lingfeng didn't know what was in the luggage that Lin Zhennan had prepared for him. It was not until he went to the store on the road that he found that apart from some change of clothes, there were as many as 1 taels of silver bills alone, which didn't count some gold and silver ingots.

I can only sigh to Lin Zhennan, his martial arts are not high, and he is really nothing to say about being a man!

Until now, Zhuo Lingfeng never thought that ten years ago, he could ask Lin Zhennan for 100 taels of silver, and let him escort him to Mount Hua.

It's like a ten-year-old kid in his previous life who ran to a rich man in a province and said something about your business enemies, and then he gave you 100 million and sent you a one-month tour with bodyguards. One reason!
Did this kind of thing exist in the previous life?

There is a high probability that they won't even be able to see them face to face, so they will be coaxed out.

Of course, it was such a dream that made Zhuo Lingfeng deeply remember this love in his heart.

Not long after, Xiao Er brought out the food from the back hall, put them on the table one by one, and said with a smile: "Master, take it easy!"

Zhuo Lingfeng inspected it and found nothing unusual, so he began to eat and drink.

At this time, the store is full of martial artists from all walks of life, and naturally they are not idle for a moment, discussing the major events of today's martial arts.

But they were in Hengshan City, and what they talked about the most was not Liu Zhengfeng washing his hands in the golden basin, but "Zhuo Lingfeng of Zhongnan Mountain".

These "six words" can be said to be in the limelight in the arena now, and they are the same for a while!
Because of the Fuwei Escort, Zhuo Lingfeng challenged the Qingcheng faction in one fell swoop, and rumors have already spread in the world.

Changqingzi was defeated by Lin Yuantu's sword in his early years, but it was not well known in the martial arts circle, everyone said that the Qingcheng faction was aiming to rob the Lin family's sword manual of the evil sword technique.

As a result, Zhuo Lingfeng appeared and thrust horizontally, knocking Yu Canghai back.

Zhuo Lingfeng knew this would happen.

He crossed Jiangxi from Fujian to Hunan. He heard so much that he was already used to it.
Does he know that there are many masters in Hengshan City now.

But there is a fight, waiting for him to fight!
Eat and drink enough before you can let go of your arms and fight a battle!
At this time, I saw a yellow-faced man put his wine bowl down, and said loudly: "You don't hear everything, just copy what others say, it's worthless!"

"Hehe, what counts as valuable,

You Zhao Laosan talk about it, let the men listen! "

Zhao Laosan laughed: "Everyone knows that Yu Guanzhu is the head of a faction, a serious leader of western Sichuan martial arts.

Destroying Heart Palm, Wuying Phantom Leg, and Songfeng swordsmanship are all unique skills in the world, and they are the top masters in the world. It is said that his martial arts have already surpassed Lan, and even better than Chang Qingzi, the previous generation's master.

But he was defeated by a fledgling Zhuo Lingfeng, don't you think it's strange? "

"Strange ass, everyone said Zhong Nanshan came out!
Where is Zhongnan Mountain?
You can guarantee that there are not many hermits in other famous mountains! "

An old man with a goatee said leisurely.

"Xie Yongqiang, you are truly worthy of being a bar king!
No matter how miraculous Zhongnan Mountain is, it will not be a fairy, right? "

"Zhao Laosan, don't argue with him, tell me what you know!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Several people rushed to urge him, no matter how much Xie Yongqiang could argue, he wouldn't dare to offend everyone!
Zhao Laosan just took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said: "As far as I know, this Zhuo Lingfeng is only in his twenties at most, logically, even if he practiced martial arts in the womb, he should not be better than Yu Guanzhu A senior expert at this age, right?"

"Really, he's only in his twenties?"

Zhao Laosan said: "Of course it is true, this is what the disciples of the Qingcheng School said!"

"Quickly, how did you say it?"

"Nonsense, there are disciples from every sect in Hengshan City, but there is no Qingcheng sect! What are you, Zhao Laosan, who deserves someone to tell you this?"

Xie Yongqiang is worthy of being a professional bullshit, and he immediately seized the opportunity.

Zhao Laosan didn't even look at him, he just said: "Yu Guanzhu went down the mountain not only to go to Fuzhou to avenge Master, but also to personally congratulate Liu Sanye!
In the end, he fell down. Naturally, he was embarrassed to see his martial arts comrades again. He just sent a few disciples to give Liu Sanye a gift, and he returned to Mount Qingcheng with all the disciples of the brigade. "

"So that's the case. No wonder no Qingcheng disciples showed up for such a big event. Guanzhu Yu is so decisive. He obviously feels that he can't beat Zhuo Lingfeng in this life. Otherwise, he wouldn't be ashamed to face others!"

"That's right, that's the way it is! Yu Guanzhu is a master of the age, no matter what his eyesight is, if he thinks there is hope to beat Zhuo Lingfeng, he will also book a date, not like that!"

"yes"

"Zhao Laosan, what you said is clear and logical, is there any hidden secret in it?"

The people in the hotel, except for a few people, almost all focused their attention on Zhao Laosan.

Zhao Laosan finally felt the attention of everyone, and was very proud. He drank a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "It is said that although Zhuo Lingfeng was born in Zhongnan Mountain, he was the number one expert in the world hundreds of years ago." "Ouyang Feng's descendant from another generation. He possesses two unique skills, the Nine Yin Manual and the Toad Kung Fu!"

"Nine Yin Manual, Ha Toad Kung Fu, what kind of martial art is this, why haven't I heard of it?"

At this time, a woman picked up the conversation, giggled, and said, "I don't know about Ha Toad Gong and Ouyang Feng, but I have heard a few words from the Nine Yin Manual.

According to legend, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Emei School was not a man, but a woman just like us.

The name of this female hero is Zhou Zhiruo. She once beat a bunch of stinky men to shame in Shaolin Temple, and won the title of the best martial arts in the world. The martial arts she used was the "Nine Yin Manual"!
The Shaolin Temple, the Emei Sect, and the sects with a long history must know this secret.

If any of you don't believe it, you can go and verify it! "

"hiss--"

Suddenly there was a sound of gasping for air from the hotel.

After a long while, someone said: "If this Zhuo Lingfeng really possesses this kind of inheritance, then Guanzhu Yu is extraordinary, and it's not surprising that he will be dwarfed by such an opponent!"

"Is this too exaggerated?

Since Mrs. Zhang mentioned Shaolin Temple and Emei School, we don't know whether it is true or not, so I dare not talk nonsense!

But why are there so many top players in the world? "

A man in black said.

"That's right, Tong Qianjin with the golden saber on your back is quite a figure in the Taihang Mountain area, but in the hands of Master Fangzheng and Master Jinguang, you're just one blow away, do you dare to arrange it indiscriminately?
Ha ha……"

Tong Qianjin snorted: "Don't talk about Shaolin and Emei, Zhou Zhiruo won't talk about it this week, but I've never heard of this western poison Ouyang Feng, has he done anything important?".

"Yes, who is this Ouyang Feng?"

The anecdotes of martial arts that have been separated for hundreds of years are naturally known to everyone, and there are many people who don't know it.

But Zhuo Lingfeng was a little surprised when he heard this.

It is only natural that "Ha Toa Kungfu" was spread by the Qingcheng faction, but for the kung fu in the "Nine Yin Manual", he only matched Yue Buqun's palm, and with the other party's ability, he definitely wouldn't recognize it!

Where did this come from?
Or was it someone's guess based on Ouyang Feng's life story?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a wild "haha" laugh, like a thunderclap in mid-air.

The person who laughed then said: "This western poison Ouyang Feng was one of the five wonders in the world in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just because he is from the Western Regions and not from the Central Plains, not many people will admit that he is number one in the world!
Monk, I stayed in the Western Regions for a few years in order to find a wife, and there are legends about him circulating there today!

There is also a poison that destroys corpses and traces in the rivers and lakes, called corpse powder, and it is said that it is his masterpiece! "
