The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 120

Speaking of the cold-faced Taoist priest, Guan Yuan inquired curiously.

"Hehe, Xu Chenzi, you said, he is my second younger brother, and he became a monk early." Zhang Tianshi seemed very intimate when introducing him, "He liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and Zhengyi's Tailing Pure Yang Kungfu is very advanced. .Anyway, in terms of martial arts, I am far behind him."

The Tianshi Mansion has always been inherited from father to son, but who said that a Tianshi can only have one son? Zhang Yanshuo is the eldest son of the previous Tianshi Zhang Yuanqing, and this Xuchenzi is the second son.

The two brothers are not much different in age. They both grew up in the Celestial Master's Mansion since they were young. One has become a contemporary Celestial Master, while the other has become a Dao protector.

As the saying goes, there must be both face and lining in a school.

This Xuchenzi is the contemporary Lizi of Tianshi Mansion.

Guan Yuan wanted to discuss martial arts with this Xu Chenzi, but the celestial master said,

"Xu Chenzi doesn't like to communicate with people. In addition to practicing kung fu on weekdays, he is practicing kung fu, which means I can manipulate him a little bit. If you look for him, I'm afraid you will be turned away."

This Taoist priest has such a weird temper, no wonder that when he met yesterday, he acted like a monk Zhang Er, confused.

In this case, Guan Yuan will give up.

Zhang Yanshuo and Zhang Tianshi vaguely mentioned Prince Ning's Mansion. This Prince Ning, Zhu Chenhao, behaved strangely and seemed to be doing something wrong.

"Hehe, why did you ask me to lecture on the scriptures? You clearly want to use the reputation of the Tianshi Mansion to win people's hearts." If you do this, I'm afraid there will be disasters."

"Guan Layman, although you took the initiative to teach them a lesson yesterday, the Tianshi Mansion is very grateful. But I still advise you not to meddle in the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion."

This celestial master really has a big pattern and great wisdom in his heart.

The Rebellion of King Ning was a famous story during the Zhengde period, so Guan Yuan naturally knew about it.But the celestial master can find something wrong from the traces of spiders and horses. Sure enough, the smart people among the ancient people must not be underestimated.

"If Prince Ning's Mansion comes later to question the crime, I will naturally help the layman to evade it, but they would never have thought that a true successor would take action to solve Zhengyi's dilemma."

"Heavenly Master Gao Yi, Guan Yuan admires him."

The two then chatted for a while, and Zhenyangzi of Yuqing Temple was also mentioned during the conversation.

"That Zhenyangzi doesn't care about the old feelings at all. When I come to Sanqing Mountain this time, if I don't come to talk to me about the old days, I will be shut down when I visit."

It turns out that Sanqing Mountain and Longhu Mountain are not far away. When he was young, Zhang Yanshuo and his second brother often came to Sanqing Mountain to visit relatives and friends.There were a lot of people here, so I naturally got acquainted with Zhenyangzi on the mountain. The three of them were similar in age and both practiced Taoism, so they quickly became friends.

Back then, the three of them often went out together, admiring the sea of ​​clouds, watching the sunrise, practicing Qi against the rising sun, and discussing Taoism with the stars.

It's a pity that ever since Zhang Yanshuo took over the position of celestial master, the secular barrier between them has become more and more serious, and they have become farther and farther apart.

Zhang Yanshuo is now the leading celestial master of the Tianshi Mansion, Xuchenzi has become more taciturn after becoming a guardian, and Zhenyangzi is guarding the old Taoism passed down by his master, and he hasn't seen the Zhang brothers for several years.

This is really a childhood friend, but it can't be worth the time.

But this old friendship is very precious in the eyes of the celestial master who is now at a high place.

That's why Tianshi will be treated differently when he sees Guan Yuan from Yuqingguan.

When Guan Yuan was about to leave, Tianshi took out a booklet and asked Guan Yuan to pass it on to Zhenyangzi.

"This is the idea of ​​Zhengyiguan that he asked me to borrow back then. Taoism is one lineage, and each sect has its own advantages and disadvantages. Quanzhen and Zhengyi have records. I can't find it when I go to him. You can bring it for me. Said that I, Zhang Yanshuo, spit out a mouthful of nails, and said I would lend it to him if I could.”

Afterwards, the gentle and elegant Zhang Tianshi was like a rough man in the market, and seemed very angry at Zhenyangzi's avoidance.

"Consider the idea? What kind of method is this? Huashan seems to have no inheritance."

"It may be that this is not valued in the inheritance of martial arts. This inner view method is mostly used for meditation and cultivation, and it does not benefit the cultivation of inner strength." Zhang Tianshi explained, "If you are interested, take a look. This method is not good either. What is the secret that is not passed on, it is just that each sect and sect have their own emphasis."

Guan Yuan took the brochure and agreed to come down.

When he returned to Yuqing Temple, Zhenyangzi was still consolidating his breakthrough in congenital skills, and he hadn't finished his skills yet. In addition to eating and sleeping, he was doing exercises for a few days.

Guan Yuan waited until Zhenyangzi finished his work and rested in the courtyard, and talked about his visit to Zhang Tianshi.

"Hey, why don't I know." Zhenyangzi seemed a little helpless, "The three of us don't care about the views of the family, but people's words are awesome."

"Not to mention anything else, just the talkative Taoist priest of the Sanqing Temple next to him has repeatedly said that the celestial master of Zhengyi shouldn't have a close relationship with the Quanzhen Taoist priest."

"He, Zhang Yanshuo, doesn't care, but I, Zhenyangzi, are also afraid that it will affect his reputation as a celestial master."

Guan Yuan remained silent, maybe there is no optimal solution to this matter, the friendship between the two is really admirable.

He also mentioned that when he met Xu Chenzi, he had a fight, but the outcome was still undecided.

"Xu Chenzi has been too thoughtful since he was a child. I have persuaded him a long time ago. If he goes on like this, he will be born with demons."

"However, he is indeed the most talented among the three of us in martial arts. Apart from making rapid progress in Zhengyi's Tailing Chunyang Kung Fu, I don't know where he searched for the palm and sword techniques. After groping and cultivating, I have achieved quite a lot.”

"The two of you can draw a tie, and you really have met a good talent, and you have met your opponent."

Guan Yuan took out the original idea of ​​Taoism and handed it to Zhenyangzi, saying that Zhang Tianshi specially told him to give it to him.

"Senior Brother Zhenyangzi, Zhang Tianshi entrusted me to bring this idea to you. He said it was your previous agreement, and he completed it as promised."

Zhenyangzi took the booklet with a complicated expression on his face, but then he released it and said slowly,

"I have already crossed that hurdle in this way of observing the inner scene. This method is not very useful to me. But the friendship is deep, and I should keep it properly."

Seeing that the task entrusted to him was completed, Guan Yuan was also relieved for a while.

"Junior Brother Guan, you are interested in this method of visualization. If you are interested, I will teach you how to do it."

Among Quanzhen's fellow disciples, it is common to preach and teach. Zhenyangzi received the favor of Guan Yuan's innate skills, and thought of teaching him something in exchange.

So Guan Yuan followed Zhenyangzi and began to practice Taoist concepts.

The two of them came to a quiet room, and Zhen Yangzi made a brief introduction.

"Visual thinking is divided into external landscape thinking and internal landscape thinking. My Taoist qi practitioners mostly practice internal scenery. Buddhists actually have meditation thinking, but they often visualize external objects, such as lotus flowers and ten thousand characters."

"My Quanzhen Yimai meditation, the core of my practice, is to visualize the five internal organs, also known as the five internal organs observation thoughts."
