Chapter 14: Mysterious Scriptures
The snow has just stopped, the Yujing City has resumed its bustle and prosperity, the streets are filled with people coming and going, and all kinds of large-scale stores are even more lively, such as the "Jiyuan Building" of wine and banquet food, "Scattered Flowers" of girls, "Songzhu Xuan" of brushes, ink and paper, "Songjiang Shop" of silk, "Yi Gu Lou" of antiques and old goods, "Jinyu Hall" of silk, and "Songjiang Shop" of silk. Songzhu Xuan" of ink and paper, "Songjiang store" of silk, "Yi Gu Lou" of antiques and old goods, "Golden Jade Hall" of jewelry, and so on, are the most lively places in Yujing. These are the most lively places in Yujing.
These large stores are patronized by the freshly dressed princes and grandchildren, but also wearing a green shirt of the scholar, and the rich, a group of idle Beijing officials and scholars.
In particular, it was already the month of Lunar New Year, close to the end of the year. The emperor wants to worship heaven, but also to receive the envoys of various countries to the dynasty, those Western Fire Luo country, the eastern Yunmeng country, the northern YuanTu country, the southern kamikaze, LiuZhu and other island countries of the envoys also live in the jade capital city in the pavilion, these strange and bizarre costumes of the people out of the walk from time to time to view the prosperity of the first big city of the great qian jade capital, but to the jade capital city adds more lively.
Since twenty years ago, the great qian defeated cloud Meng raid iron horsemen, kill back in the past, the two sides in the border Qing kill the mouth of the covenant, never again, the great qian dynasty is in a period of prosperity, for the whole piece of land the most huge dynasty empire.
Sixty years of the end of the year, the Qian dynasty's heyday has also reached a period of the most flourishing.
Not to mention the whole Jade Capital City in the lively, "Marquis Wu Wen" residence is also lively, slaves began to clean, all corners are cleaned spotless, put on lights and colors, ready for the New Year.
However, regardless of the entire residence inside and outside of the Yujing City's lively and extraordinary, and Hong Yi does not have a little bit to do with.
Hong Yi has returned from the western mountain, but the mind is still completely left in the western mountain that valley.
This more than ten days encounter fox, teaching, organizing books, cultivating soul and practicing martial arts, met Bai Ziyue, drinking and talking for four or five days, are like a clear dream.
At this time, when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he had a feeling that it was like a lifetime ago.
The Marquis Mansion was still the Marquis Mansion, and hadn't changed because he had gone out. The whole marquis house seven or eight hundred people are busy, prepare for the New Year, only his hut is cold and quiet, and there is no one door, as if he is excluded from this person in general.
Those servants, housekeepers, slave girls, guards for the New Year will be handed out reward some clothing, silver and two also did not turn to him.
However, he now has money, but also not lack of those, pure fox moving time, gifted him ten red gold coins. Eighty percent of gold can be converted into fifteen, let alone ten percent of red gold. Ten red gold coins, if you get the "Golden Jade Hall" to exchange silver, at least can be exchanged for two hundred taels of silver. It was enough for Hong Yi to spend for a long time.
"It's best if these people don't come to harass me, I can close the door to practice martial arts and read, that said, my body is very relaxed recently, my limbs feel much more powerful."
In the middle of the fighting room, Hong Yi stood with his legs one in front of the other, bent his body, grabbed the tendon meat of both thighs with both hands, shook violently, force went through his thighs, and steeply, the two pieces of tendon meat of his thighs let out a taut and soft sound.
Subsequently, he quickly changed his hand to grab, grabbed his calf belly meat, between the same shake, let go of his hand, up pressed his stomach forward and took a step forward.
This action, grab the thigh, grab the calf, press the belly, a step out, as if a big bull top out, but not a simple step.
This is exactly one of the movements in the Bull Demon Power Fist "Bull Demon Top Horn".
Hong Yi did a few actions in a row, felt the body limbs, abdomen, chest, back of the large tendon meat have obvious heat, full of power feeling, so han stopped his voice, rolled up his tongue, top of the teeth, hold his breath, the spirit of the focus on the arm above the fist, a fist forward air blow.
Hi!
The whole body's large chunks of flesh vibrated between the punches, as if some of their power had gathered into the fists, with an indescribable feeling of tingling comfort and power.
"One is no longer a scholar with unarmed hands. As long as you keep practicing like this, you will get stronger and stronger." Hong Yi noticed his body's strength and had a satisfying feeling of joy in his heart, becoming more grounded.
"No wonder scholars practiced and practiced bow and horse martial arts, a strong body can also strengthen the mind and enhance one's confidence."
Hong Yi finally understood why the readers put the riding and shooting martial arts in an important position, it turns out that a strong body can also strengthen one's mind, a strong body will stabilize one's mind.
Just like sailing in the sea, the boat is incredibly strong, the hearts of people will naturally be stable, let him wind and waves, sitting steadily in a fishing boat.
If the boat is not strong, even the most stable heart without support will be afraid of the coming winds and waves.
With a heart full of joy, Hong Yi sat in front of the table and opened a martial arts scripture to continue reading and speculating.
This martial arts scripture was from the collection of the Great Zen Temple and had been annotated by a monk called Zen Master Yin Yue. Inside, although many kinds of incomplete, can not be practiced, but some of the reasoning is very thorough, can let Hong Yi have a deeper understanding of the "Bull Demon Power Fist".
What's more, Hong Yi himself is a shrewd reader, the best at guessing the author's meaning from the text.
"I don't know if I've reached the point of martial arts student? But I'm afraid I haven't, I've only practiced for half a month, although I have Zi Yue's 'Qiong Pulp' wine to temper my body for four or five days, as well as his careful guidance, but I'm still lacking some fire, I guess."
Hong Yi thought in his heart, whether he has already practiced to the degree of the whole body's large meat to the level of solid full, to the army "martial arts hall" in the level of martial arts students.
Suddenly, a steady footsteps came from the entrance of the small courtyard.
"Who will come to my small courtyard again? Could it be that servant girl Xiao Ning again." Hong Yi pushed open the papier-mâché window and looked over, and was shocked.
"Old General Manager?"
The person coming was an old man with white hair and wearing black clothes.
Hong Yi recognized that this old man was the chief steward of the entire Marquis' residence, neither from Madam Zhao's side of the first house, nor from the "Yun Ting Zhai" side of the second house, nor from the third lady's side, but was the chief steward who was directly responsible to his father, Marquis Wu Wen.
Every time Hong Xuanji in the Forbidden City Palace Cabinet to deal with government until late, it is this person to send clothes to send food boxes over.
When Hong Yi creaked and opened the window, the old chief steward's eyes looked over in an instant as well, seemingly synchronized with the time when Hong Yi opened the window, with a sense of foresight.
Seeing Hong Yi, the old chief steward stopped in his tracks, nodded his head and revealed a smile, "Young Master Yi, the Marquis is back, calling you over. There is something to say."
In the entire Marquis' residence, the only person who was polite to him was this old chief steward.
Of course, the old chief steward was polite to everyone, and it was rumored that in all these years, no one had ever seen him get angry.
"What? Father has returned? Why did you call me? What is there to say?"
Hong Yi was very shocked in his heart, although Wu Wen Hou was his father, he had never seen him a few times, and with more than ten siblings, he was just the most inconspicuous and the one with the lowest status, how could it not be the turn of Hong Xuan Ji to call him to speak.
Hong Yi sometimes even doubted that Hong Xuanji knew that he did not know that there was such a son like him.
"Oh no, the Martial Scripture is a forbidden book. And it's the seal of the Great Zen Temple. If I let my father know ...... Luckily, the other basic collection is good, but it's too late to collect this one."
Hong Yi suddenly remembered something, and on the spur of the moment, he threw this martial scripture into the fire pot and burned it.
He didn't feel comfortable leaving this book inside the study, if he went out, in case someone came in and found this forbidden book, it would be a big trouble.
And now it was too late to collect it again.
Marquis Wu Wen Hong Xuan Ji ruled his family with strict etiquette, the rules were very strict, the caller had to arrive immediately or else he would be subjected to the family law.
Hong Yi knows that once, the third wife's son Hong Gui because of drinking drunk, just as Hong Xuanji back to test his homework, sent people did not go to call late for a long time, the result was later a family law, legs are broken, lying in bed for half a year to be good.
Hong Yi saw the book in the fire pot burned out, put down the mind, get up to organize the clothes, open the door, followed in the old chief behind to see his father.
Just as he was going out the door, amongst the ashes of the book of martial arts scriptures that had been burnt out in the fire basin, a slightly dark golden paper suddenly appeared, which was densely packed with all the small characters of the scriptures, and drawings, which seemed to be gold foil, but was not burnt by the fire.
