Start with a hero

Chapter 220
After leaving Yunkong Pavilion, Li Yizhi found Yaxing again.

He first paid for the destroyed house, and then asked: "I want to buy a martial arts gym, or find a house facing the street that is suitable for a martial arts gym, preferably in a civilian area, do you have any suitable ones here?" H?"

Yaren said puzzledly: "Young master, why do you put the martial arts gym in the civilian area? The so-called poor culture and rich martial arts, if you put the martial arts gym in the civilian area, it will be difficult to recruit disciples. I just have one here. The martial arts school you want to sell is located on the bustling Zhuque Street, so it should be the most suitable for you."

"It's my own plan, just tell me, can you find a suitable place?" Li Yizhi said lightly.

He opened the martial arts gym not to make money, but to distribute martial arts to the world.

Of course, it is impossible to rely on him alone to spread martial arts in the world. A large number of disciples who are willing to open martial arts gyms all over the country are needed.

And such a disciple, only commoner children are the most suitable.

Because they are eager to excel in martial arts, they also desire money.

If you were someone from a wealthy background, and your family already had a lot of money, how could you be willing to open martial arts gyms all over the country, and participating in the imperial court's martial arts is the kingly way.

Yaren hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I can find it. Young master, do you have any requirements for the place?"

"Above three acres and less than ten acres is fine."

"There just so happens to be a private house suitable for your son. It is located on Dahe Street in the south of the city. It covers an area of ​​five acres and sells for 5000 taels."

"It's okay, let's go take a look first."

In a city, generally speaking, civilians live in the south of the city.

This Dahe Street can be regarded as a relatively lively street. The houses are located in the east of the street, and there is a small river flowing in the east.

The house is a three-entry structure, with many green bamboos planted against the wall, and the environment is quite quiet.

After entering the house, Yaren showed Li Yizhi the house, and introduced him: "The original owner of this house is a porcelain businessman. He shipped a ship of porcelain from the south last month, but it was a pity that he accidentally collided with a rich and powerful cargo ship. If it is overturned, not only the tens of thousands of taels of silver porcelain will be lost, but also the dignitaries will have to be compensated, so they can’t start to sell their property.”

Li Yizhi looked inside and out, and decided to buy the house.

In the next few days, Li Yizhi was busy. After dealing with the porcelain merchant, he moved into the house.

But the transfer of ownership still takes three days, and it needs to be filed in the Yamen.

Although Li Yizhi does not have a household registration, it is really easy for people in the dental practice to get a household registration.

Of course, this requires a cash register.

Opening a martial arts gym is not a trivial matter. The house needs to be slightly remodeled, and at the same time, a group of servants must be purchased to maintain the daily operation of the martial arts hall.

The matter is not big, but it is very cumbersome and needs to be done by yourself.

After being so busy for five days, everything was finally done, and the custom-made plaque was hung up, but it was covered with a layer of red silk, and it could not be opened until the opening day.

Regarding the name of the martial arts hall, Li Yizhi named it Zhutian Martial Arts Hall, and it is scheduled to open in three days.

Today, Li Yizhi was practicing boxing in the backyard. He punched calmly, powerfully, fiercely and steadily, like a bull, rampaging.

There are three types of bull magic power, which are "the top horn of the bull demon", "the stepping on the hoof of the bull demon" and "transporting the skin of the bull demon".

Each style has a hundred variations, complex and changeable, from shallow to deep, from refining meat, strengthening tendons, to practicing membrane.

After half a month of training, he has now crossed the training of tendons and started training skin membrane.

With the end of meat refining and tendon training, the benefits of Li Yizhi's re-cultivation of Yangshen Martial Dao have gradually emerged. Not only the physical strength has greatly increased, but even the color of the blood pill in the dantian has deepened a lot, and the strength has greatly improved.

According to Li Yizhi's estimate, his strength at this time should be regarded as steadily stepping into the level of a human immortal.

At this time, an old man in his fifties came in, bowed and said, "My lord, there are two people outside who want to see you. One claims to be Xiao Anran, and the other is Chen Zimo. The old slave has already led them to the living room." gone."

Li Yizhi stopped, he was a little surprised.

This Xiao Anran is the leader of Fang Xiandao, and Chen Zimo is the layman's name of the painting saint Gan Daozi.

The two of them came hand in hand, probably for the sake of painting, because according to the plot of the original book, during this period, it should be Fang Xiandao who asked Gan Daozi to paint the portrait of his ancestor.

Five days have passed since the portrait auction. According to Fang Xiandao's influence, it is not difficult to find him.

Thinking of this, Li Yizhi said: "Okay, I understand, you go down, old Hu."

Old Hu's full name is Hu Zhong, he is one of the servants purchased by Li Yizhi, and he is the steward of Zhutian Wuguan.

In fact, Lao Hu used to be the housekeeper of an official. Because the official committed a crime, his home was ransacked and Hu Zhong was demoted to a slave.

"Yes, son!"

Lao Hu bowed again, turned and left.

When Li Yizhi came to the living room, he saw a person sitting on the left and right. On the left was a middle-aged Taoist priest, Xiao Anran, and on the right was an old man with gray hair.

"The two seniors came to the humble house, but failed to welcome them far away, and hoped to atone for their sins. Hehe!"

Li Yizhi cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Xiao Anran and Gan Daozi both stood up one after another, and said, "Where is it, we are taking the liberty to visit this time, and hope that we will not disturb Mr. Li."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties sat down.

Li Yizhi asked: "The two seniors came here on an appointment, what's the matter?"

Xiao sadly said: "This is Mr. Li, we, Fang Xiandao, would like to ask you to draw a picture of Daoist Yuanyang, and we hope we can agree."

Li Yizhi chuckled, and said: "Senior Xiao, why bother to look far away, Senior Gan Daozi is the most famous painting saint in my dynasty, where I can show my humble skills."

Gan Daozi shook his head and said: "Mr. Li's words are embarrassing. Your self-portrait contains endless Confucian true meaning, which is far inferior to old people. If it is just an ordinary picture of Daoist Yuanyang, old people can naturally Competent. It’s just that what brother Xiao wants to ask Mr. Li to paint this time is Daoist Yuanyang who is used to practice visualization.”

Li Yizhi raised his eyebrows, Gan Daozi's words moved his heart, and he realized something he had neglected before.

In terms of Taoism painting, his self-portraits are almost comparable to the great Buddha in the Amitabha Sutra in the past.

Since the Great Buddha can be used for visualization, to suppress the spirit and make it immortal, why can't his self-portrait be visualized?
Of course, his previous self-portrait contained the meaning of Confucianism and Taoism, at most it opened up people's wisdom, and it didn't have much practical significance for cultivating Taoism.

But what about other paintings?
For example, Pan Gu Tu!
If he could endow Pangu Tu with the artistic conception of opening the sky, wouldn't he be able to create his own Taoism and orthodoxy?

Of course, Li Yizhi also knows that it is not so easy to create a Taoism. The reason why his self-portrait can contain the endless true meaning of Confucianism is because he is proficient in Confucianism.

But he didn't know anything about Kaitian's true meaning.

On the contrary, Li Yizhi is very familiar with the true meaning of the universe in "The Code of the Universe", but he can use it as a foundation to create his own Taoism of the universe.

However, before creating his own Taoism, he had to read all kinds of Taoism classics to increase his own background.
