What he said was completely in line with Ma Liu. After all, Xie Yu also wanted to see the inheritance information of the Ma Liu family's martial arts school.
Sure enough, for a strong person, perhaps Xie Yu's words made Ma Liu feel respected and gave him a little more strength.
Directly, go get the shovel from the corner, walk to a corner in the courtyard, and start digging.
Xie Yu could only lament that Ma Liu was in this kind of thinking that had been influenced by the dross of Confucian culture for a long time. He had a lot of things to say, but was limited by his vision and environment, so it was useless to say it.
Moreover, the stories about selling one's body to bury one's father, and selling one's head under a price tag that appear in various books are mostly true.
When it comes to selling one's body to bury one's father, the ancients were more foolish than modern people in showing filial piety. In ancient times, land was privately owned, and not all land could be buried casually.
Otherwise, you would just bury it secretly, and the owner would find it, and you would be buried alive, and the bones and ashes would be crushed, but you would not care.
Furthermore, even if there is land to bury, you must at least prepare a coffin, and at worst, have a thin-skinned coffin. You cannot just cover it with grass, otherwise you will easily become a lonely ghost and cannot enjoy the enshrinement of future generations.
Also, in order for your parents to give you a body of essence and blood, you should prepare to wear linen and mourn, and worship with incense, candles and linen paper at all times. Otherwise, the ancients would attach so much importance to the ancestral property and the ancestral temple?
Even to the government, if you commit the crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan, as long as you apply for a living sacrifice to honor your ancestors, the government will usually approve it for you.
The government will also separate the ancestral fields and sacrificial fields for ancestor worship and will not copy them.
In the midst of emotion, Xie Yu glanced at the paper couplets on the door frame of the main house. Although they were just ordinary auspicious couplets, the handwriting revealed a delicate and delicate hand, as if they were written by a woman.
This made Xie Yu think of something, so he said to Ma Liu, who was working there: "You dig first. Do you have any books at home? I'll take two and read them to pass the time."
When Ma Liu heard this, he was stunned. His mother-in-law came over with tea. It was originally given to Ma Liu first.
Ma Liu yelled and cursed: "You bitch, you are so disrespectful. You have to give it to the distinguished guests first. Even though you say so, you still get a glass."
Sure enough, many rules are binding on others, except yourself!
Ma Liu: "Hurry and serve tea to your distinguished guest. By the way, your distinguished guest wants to read two books. Didn't my dead father-in-law leave you a lot? Go and get two books to read."
Mother-in-law, she brought tea to Xie Yu, but she was very hesitant when she said that Xie Yu wanted to borrow a book.
"Are you a book lover? Yes, ancient books seem to be very precious."
Xie Yu cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Wangsao, don't mind me. I am also a book lover. I just flip through a few pages and won't take it away."
Hearing Xie Yu's tone, the mother-in-law was slightly relieved, but thinking of her husband's attitude, she could only say: "Your guest wants to read, that's fine, but most of them are left by my late father, just for meditating, so please don't mind me." !”
Xie Yu: "Easy to say, easy to say!"
At Ma Liu's urging, his wife took Xie Yu to a small compartment in the wing. In this compartment, there was a tablet for worship with incense.
"Dead father..."
Hey, this late husband of Ma Liu’s wife still had some fame, but I don’t know why….
Also, on a small table, there are simple pens, ink, paper and inkstone and a book. Judging from the fresh font, it seems that Ma Liu's wife is copying something.
It seemed to be a Buddhist scripture. Xie Yu immediately understood that this Ma Liu should rarely be used by the family, and he might make a living as a servant.
Although there are already printed books, when it comes to religious books, most people think that handwritten ones are more sincere.
In fact, servant books are also a source of income for poor families with an excuse to read.
Not everyone can do it. Ask Ma Liu's wife to offer incense to her late father first.
Xie Yu also politely called her "Mrs. Sister-in-law" and offered a stick of incense.
Ma Liu's wife was a little moved and said: "You are more noble, just call me Chun Niang. I can't bear the title of Mrs. Sister-in-law."
Xie Yu: "Chun Niang? That's a pretty good title!"
Chun Niang's expression was dark: "It was my late father who asked me to take it. He hoped that I..., but I didn't do it."
Xie Yu watched without comment as Chun Niang packed up the books on Xiaotan, then opened a small cabinet door and said: "My dear, all the treasures of my late father are here!"
Xie Yu suddenly saw that there were only two hundred ancient and thread-bound books, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
Ancient books are very expensive. I believe that selling all these books would be enough to buy a coffin for Chun Niang's late father. Why...
All I can think about now is Ma Liuzhi's tactics, or Chun Niang's stupidity and filial piety as she obeyed her father's order not to sell books before his death.
Xie Yu randomly picked up a book and looked through it. Well, it was not a book, but an account book. Who had submitted it for repair, who had not submitted it, who owed it, and I owed it to whom, and who was dead and what.
All in all, it's a bit confusing, but the key point is that Chun Niang should have been a somewhat famous elementary school teacher before her father died.
Looking through other books, there are indeed many elementary school books.
At this time, Xie Yu discovered that Chun Niang had gone out.
After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yu asked Muchen Bead to pause the automatic operation of the family inheritance method and start to stretch out his hand.
A burst of inner energy surged out of the palm of his hand. Naturally, this inner energy could not be compared with spiritual power and magic power.
An ordinary small 12-inch black and white TV with snowflakes in the air has the same gap as a 50-inch ultra-high-definition smart TV, but it can finally solve the problem.
When I found that the internal energy was at most thirty centimeters away from the body, only the last percent of the internal energy accumulated in five years began to plummet.
Xie Yu didn't hesitate anymore and immediately covered the books with his hands. Except for a little loss of control at the beginning and scratching the pages, everything else went smoothly.
After spending the days of accumulated internal energy and having to replenish the total internal energy once, these more than two hundred books have been scanned by Muchen Bead.
Xie Yu looked at Muchen Bead's original scanned book image. It looked very imitation. It seemed that the energy level of the internal energy was so low that the resolution of the scanned image was extremely low.
Fortunately, Muchenzhu borrowed the program framework of the IBM supercomputer IBMZ1 large-scale server and was able to do image processing and extract keywords by himself. He just gave it time to sort it out.
Xie Yu, who was not worried, was looking through the "Three Character Classic" of this era. After all, it was Zhu Ming who became Chen Ming. Even if he had some impressions of the original, he had to reinforce it.
I heard Ma Liu running over with heavy steps and said, "Master, it has been dug out. Come and have a look!"
Xie Yu nodded, put down the Three-Character Sutra in his hand, and walked out.
After seeing a trace of fresh soil in the courtyard, a wooden box appeared.
Walking closer, I found that the lid of the wooden box had been opened, with a layer of lime sprinkled on it. Judging from the material of the wooden box, it should be camphor wood, which is not easy to rot and does not breed insects.
After removing the top layer of lime, another layer of oil paper was exposed.
Xie Yu looked at the sky and said, "Let's move to the shade first."
After Ma Liu said "OK", he moved the wooden box to a cool place and opened the oil paper package. Sure enough, there were some books inside.
Although there was some moisture, it was still well preserved. Xie Yu took one book first and then motioned to Ma Liu to take out the other books.
Xie Yu flipped it over and saw that it was another account book, but it was different from the one owned by Chun Niang Meng Tong's teacher and father. There was more water in it and more of things related to people's connections.
It seems that Ma Liuzu's family martial arts school is not too simple.
After all the books were taken out, Xie Yu asked Ma Liu not to disturb him for now, and while looking at the favor account book, he began to scan the books using his inner energy and the Muchen Bead.
There are not many books here, although there are a lot of practice pictures, but Xie Yu is exhausted quickly, and there is no need to replenish his internal energy.
Just when Xie Yu's hand accidentally touched the wooden box, he suddenly discovered that there was a copper layer on one side of the wooden box.
If there were copper layers on all six sides of the wooden box, Xie Yu wouldn't think anything of it, but if there were copper layers on just one side, that would be a problem.
Is it a hidden box?
Xie Yu stretched out his hand to release his inner energy. Maybe it was blocked by metal material, or maybe it was because of the shallowness of Xie Yu's inner energy.
The inner Qi that originally could exert thirty centimeters can only penetrate less than one centimeter, and it consumes a lot of money. Fortunately, even if the wooden box surgery is added with a copper layer, it is not too thick.
Xie Yu's internal energy was emitted both inside and outside the box, and Xie Yu could still read it after two positive and negative movements.
Just barely replenishing the accumulated internal energy once. After a few days of saving each time the inventory is emptied, after all, each full replenishment consumes 60 days of savings. Although it has the 12 times power of the Muchen Bead, the time is still too short.
But not much to say, with the help of Muchen Bead, all the original mold lakes in the copper interlayer have been obtained.
The first is a complex image of a mold lake. This image seems a bit familiar to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu soon thought, isn't this the many things on the fifty-tael silver note?
Indeed, indeed, there are many similarities.
Xie Yu immediately mobilized Muchen Zhu to calculate and restore the clarity of the banknote first, and soon some uppercase numbers appeared.
"It's actually a five hundred tael silver note?"
"The impression in Xie Yu's mind is that he is getting rich!"
But before I was happy for a while, Muchen Bead monitoring was set up earlier, prompting Xie Yu that the semi-cured data panel began to turn black.
After Xie Yu secretly shouted "Damn it", he immediately confirmed his mood and said he didn't want the banknote, and then the semi-solidified data panel changed his mind again.
Alas, the profession of "Baidao"!
In the past, when he first saw Chun Niang, Xie Yu used hypnosis, and then, hey hey hey...
Forget it, seeing Xie Yu scolding, Ma Liu, who was waiting in the distance, immediately ran over and whispered: "Master, this thing passed down from my family has disappointed you."
Xie Yu first set Muchen Bead to read the Ma Liu family's martial arts as a priority, then shook his head and said, "No, I suddenly remembered something and need to do it immediately. I'll come back later to see if you can pack these books."
Ma Liu was surprised and said: "Master, this..."
Xie Yu suddenly said: "Open your mouth!"
Then, a pill of medicine was delivered violently, and Ma Liu said in his mouth: "I have given you the antidote. Don't worry, I will come again in a few days. I will give you a fortune then. See if you can catch it." Live!"
Ma Liu: "Wealth?"
Xie Yu ignored Ma Liu, who was still lost in the lake, and stood up to leave.
Ma Liu called out twice, but Xie Yu ignored him. When Chun Niang saw her husband like this, she also called out twice. Ma Liu suddenly covered Chun Niang's mouth and whispered: "It's okay to leave, that's okay. "
These words made Chun Niang confused again. Didn't he say that he was an honored guest?
After Xie Yu went out, he went to a poor man's incense and candle shop as he had inquired with Chun Niang in the wing.
Sure enough, there are a lot of useless things for sale here.
Sure enough, red and white affairs are unavoidable in any era, especially white affairs. Although it is unlucky, this meal is more stable than most people.
Needless to say, incense candles, white cloth candlesticks, and incense burners are standard equipment for worship. Xie Yu chose a fairly acceptable locust wood spiritual tablet, rejected the store's suggestion, and chose to carve it himself!
When the store saw Xie Yu's skill at carving cards, some wanted to find out where Xie Yu learned his skills, and some wanted to recruit Xie Yu to work here.
Hearing what the store owner meant, Xie Yu secretly thought that he was still too good, so he humbly refused and left with the extra paper ingots given by the store owner.
After returning to the escort agency, Menzi cupped his hands and said nothing when he saw this "equipment".
"The escort is with you, the escort is with you, the escort is with you," this is more than just a slogan in the escort industry. Generally, shouting this means that the person is ready to fight to the death.
After entering the escort office, Xie Yu went to the kitchen to borrow a clay pot, and then returned to the house. Since there was no funeral ceremony yet, Xie Yu only needed to wrap a white cloth around his waist, put it on the outside or inside of his clothes, and perform a private ceremony behind closed doors.
After a private sacrifice, the incense burner was filled with only a layer of earth and no ashes. After inserting the incense, it was regarded as an confession to the original person.
.
Looking at this self-engraved ranking, I thought that when I returned to Beijing, I could worship together with the memorial tablets of my grandparents and my mother who died young.
But that's all.
As for the higher level, because the original grandfather was sold into the Cheng family as a slave.
In years of famine, ordinary people would not regard selling themselves to rich families as a shameful thing, but just looking for a way to survive.
But it turns out that our family does not allow slaves to worship their ancestors or enter the ancestral hall.
They can only be forced to separate the family and set up their own spiritual throne. At best, they are also the founders.
Xie Yu began to meditate and adjust his breath. At the same time, he also checked Muchen Bead to compile and read the information of the Ma Liujia Martial Arts School.
It was just a function of beautifying pictures, a beautiful picture. While meditating and adjusting the breath, Muchenzhu had already read the exercises passed down by the Ma Liu family, and was now reading the information left by Chunniang's father, an elementary school teacher.
Finally, I can learn more about the exercise data of this world. There are more than ten exercises in total, some are complete, some are incomplete, but they all have some comments from predecessors.
If you have some basic skills, you can start learning by yourself.
Most of them are E-level or E+ level, such as some basic horse steps, long fists, and breathing rhythm skills.
Then there is the D level, which is also the most popular in the world. The Thirty-Six Forms of Taizu Boxing and the Thirty-six Ways of Taizu Stick.
These are two types of boxing and sticks. They are the most popular and relatively excellent and affordable boxing and stick techniques among low-level martial artists. It can be said that anyone who practices martial arts has at least practiced them.
Of course, because it has been around for hundreds of years, each company has made small improvements, but the overall framework and number of paths are still the same.
This is all thanks to the Taizu of a Central Plains dynasty hundreds of years ago. In order to fight against foreign races, he was deeply disturbed by the world's martial arts.
Therefore, he summoned his generals with martial arts roots to create this external skill and promote it to the entire army. Later, some sergeants retired from the army and wanted to teach the children of the clan in their hometown. Taizu promised it.
This is why it spreads all over the world!
These two boxing and stick techniques were introduced from the military, and they highlight the practicality. Those with talent can also generate internal strength from the outside in, and those who practice hard to accumulate internal strength.
There are many people who have become third-rate masters in the world.
Apart from these foundations, all that remains are the exercises passed down by the Ma Liu family.
Start with the nine D-level exercises of Iron Head Kung Fu, Iron Arm Kung Fu, Iron Elbow Kung Fu, Iron Fist Kung Fu, Iron Palm Kung Fu, Iron Finger Kung Fu, Iron Knee Kung Fu, Iron Leg Kung Fu, and Iron Cloth Shirt.
It ranges from the secret C-level skills to the Iron Clothes Skill. Because it is a hard skill from outsiders, in addition to the corresponding pile diagrams and some simple tips on how to practice, each one has its corresponding secret medicine.
