The new year has passed, and it seems that in an instant, the awakening of insects is coming.
It is recorded in the classics that it is said to be the beginning of the first month of the month, and the speech is the beginning of the hibernation. Everything comes out of shock, and the shock becomes thunder, so it is called Jingzhe. It was the stinging insects that frightened them and ran away.
Originally, the solar term Jingzhe was called Qizhe, but later generations of emperors tabooed the word Qizhe, so Qizhe was changed to Jingzhe. Fortunately, the original meaning is similar, so it is still used today.
Wu Shuang, for the rare occasion, did not ask Zhao Ziyang to practice shooting today. Instead, he roused the four disciples from Nangong Mountain early in the morning and said that he was going to go fishing in the Sanmen River dozens of miles away. He could not keep his disciples trapped in the mountains and go out for fishing. If you change your state of mind, the benefits will be much greater than practicing hard every day.
Zhao Ziyang was naturally very happy. Ever since he went up the mountain, he had been dragged by his master to practice shooting every morning. It was really not an easy job, not to mention that his nature was to have fun. Being imprisoned in the mountains all day long practicing shooting was really too much. A little tired. So after hearing what Wu Shuang said, he was so happy that he almost threw the big gun in his hand to the bottom of the cliff, bowed deeply to his master, and was about to rush back to the room to change clothes, but Wu Shuang grabbed him with one hand and said with a smile, "Why are you changing clothes?" ?”
Zhao Ziyang couldn't make up his mind, "My body's meridians are warm from practicing on the mountain, so I don't feel cold at all. However, it's still cold in spring down below. If I were to sit there fishing and wear these training clothes, I would definitely get cold and windy. Change my clothes." It should be natural.”
"Do you really want to go down the mountain and just focus on fishing? You kid, that's a good idea. It's said that you can sharpen your sword before chopping wood. Why can't you practice your spear and halberd when you're free from fishing?" Wu Shuang laughed so hard that he felt sorry for Zhao Ziyang. Feeling depressed, he had to hold the extremely heavy gun in his hand again, and walked to the main hall dejectedly.
The 70% or 80% interest that he had finally gained suddenly shrunk to 12%, and even his steps were delayed a bit.
As usual, Yun Zhong took a few sips of wine early in the morning and then walked up the cliff to watch the clouds. Even if Wu Shuang came to inform him, he just curtsied and continued to watch the clouds.
"Fourth, do you still remember what I told you about the heartstrings?" Liu Qing and Qian Yin already knew about Jingzhe fishing. Wu Shuang also had nothing to do. He grabbed Yun Zhong's shoulder and smiled and said, "This practice is very important." Don't be impatient. If you indulge in it all day long, it won't help anything, and maybe you will end up going crazy. How should I explain to your father then?"
"I know," Wu Shuang clearly noticed with both hands that Yun Zhong's shoulders were drooping, "but look at the third senior brother who entered the profession later, but his realm is so advanced. The second senior brother is tired of spending all day in the alchemy room, thinking about that. The prescription of Weixu Dan, if I am not in a hurry, I always feel a little heartless."
Wu Shuang laughed and hit Yun Zhong on the shoulder, "It's fair to say that you have no conscience. The third child is different from you. Although he started his career later, the book of practice was given to him when he came down from the mountain as a teacher ten years ago. , Moreover, his talent is extremely high, and it will not take long for him to naturally reach a higher level, not to mention the life experience of the third child," Wu Shuang paused for a moment, "The third child was born in a humble background, and the hardships he has endured are not as great as yours. If you are young, it’s natural that you can’t catch up with him for a while.”
"As for the eldest brother and the second child, since they are from the same sect, why are they so different? The second child is obsessed with the Xu Dan recipe and is now working hard. Not only has he changed his past laziness, but he has also made great progress in the alchemy path. , Benefit others and benefit yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, this is unnecessary."
"Okay, there is something to see in the sea of clouds. Let's go down the mountain to fish. Besides, I still miss the taste of grilled fish, so I need you to put in more effort."
Wu Shuang didn't say too much. His little disciple was thoughtful, and it wasn't just a day or two. With just a few words, it was probably difficult to overcome this boy's stubbornness. Instead of wasting words, it would be better to go outside and have a good time. Relax your mind, go fishing, the spring breeze is blowing in the world, it is better to wash your heart with the spring breeze, it will be more comfortable and natural.
For a whole month, there were only a few places to stay in Yunzhong Mountain, and they lived on the top of Danfang Mountain in the main hall. Apart from that, there was no time to set foot in the mountains and forests. All they could see was a vast sea of clouds. Even Wu Shuang had never thought about it. , this young boy who often cheated and skated when he was training and running in the mountains half a year ago, is now able to push himself to such an extent. In addition to practicing swords and eating, he spends almost all day in the sea of clouds and swordsmanship. Still motionless, but the sharpness all over his body became stronger and stronger.
It was as if after the chaotic sea of clouds had been pushed aside, the remaining traces of the sword energy were revealed.
After all five people came down the mountain, naturally there should be no one left in the mountain. Although no one from the surrounding villages visited the top of the mountain, they were still in a sect after all, so they should move the mountain-protecting formation to prevent strangers from entering. Liu Qing pinched her finger three times, and the entire Nangong Mountain sect made the fog disappear. When walking down the mountain, she realized that Zhao Ziyang, who was carrying a big gun, looked a little wrong. He frowned and asked, "Junior brother, is there something on your mind?"
Zhao Ziyang forced a smile, "I can't talk about what's on my mind, but I did think of some old things. When I went up the mountain, what Li San said to his senior brother, I now understand a lot more."
Seeing that the other three people had not gone out yet, Liu Qing was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. Instead, he put down the fishing rods on his shoulders and said with interest, "If I remember correctly, Li San should be among the White Tiger Gang." To make a living, you, the leader of a gang, don’t know how good he is?”
"Junior brother, I have just entered Taoism not long ago. Up to now, I can barely touch the second realm. My inner energy cultivation is not enough to break through the realm. I can't see anything strange. Until I went up the mountain, I just thought he was just a poor man with a down-to-earth family. Boy, I don’t want to think about it today. His realm is indeed much higher than mine.” Zhao Ziyang looked at the mountains, and everything showed signs of returning to spring, but the cool breeze in the cold mountain road still made him feel a little chilly.
"Actually speaking, junior brother, you don't need to worry too much." The feeling of being deceived is naturally not easy to bear. Liu Qing also understood in her heart and smiled gently, "If Li San really wants to do harm to you, naturally he won't I sent you up the mountain before leaving on your own. Moreover, after our master returned to the mountain, he listened to the wind and grass below the mountain all day long. If he noticed something strange, he would have taken the first step to remove the cause of the trouble, so just relax."
"That's what I said." Zhao Ziyang smiled bitterly, "But since we are brothers in the same gang, if we hide something, I will definitely not feel comfortable and happy."
The gang leader in Zhao believed that since they were brothers fighting together to gain territory, it was natural for them to share weal and woe. Although the money and food in the gang was small, the brothers in the gang were all like-minded and should not hide anything.
"Junior brother, you might as well think about it. If you know too much about some things and everyone has nothing to hide, how can you really be happy?" Liu Qing smiled, "If that person already has a relationship with you, he can't speak out because of thousands of things. , I risked my life to let you know the hidden truth, wouldn't you be even more heartbroken in the end?"
The scholar squinted his eyes and suddenly felt the breeze blowing into his arms, lingering.
Unconsciously, the spring moon has arrived.
"So, of all the things in the world, only fools and sages can avoid worrying about them, being sad and depressed, and forgetting favors and disgrace together."
