In addition, since Xiang Nan and Xiao Donggua had been married for many years and had no heirs, Emperor Jiajing also specially rewarded twenty beautiful girls to Xiang Nan in order to continue the lineage of heirs and pass on the legal tradition. Just like the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, they have been heavenly masters for generations.
Little Winter Melon was naturally a little dissatisfied with this. However, she had been married for more than ten years and had nothing to offer, so she didn't have much objection. After all, the ancients attached great importance to heirs. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the third is that of having no heirs.
Xiang Nan is totally fine with this. Because his current energy is mainly focused on practicing martial arts.
In addition to practicing Tai Chi, he also practices the 24 unique skills of the Shaolin Temple, such as Prajna Palm Technique, One-Finger Zen Technique, Bodhidharma Sword Technique, Breaking the Ring Knife Technique, King Kong Fist, Crazy Magic Wand Technique, Crossing the River with a Reed, etc. .
Moreover, it and Tai Chi mutually confirm and learn from each other, further improving and enhancing the attainments of Tai Chi. In addition, the Tai Chi sword that he had been thinking about had already taken shape.
Therefore, I have no time to care about him for the time being.
But it’s not a bad thing to have more beauties around to serve you.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the selection of concubines was based on the best of the best.
First, 5,000 girls of school age were selected from across the country, and then 1,000 were eliminated from the 5,000, then 2,000 were eliminated from the 4,000, and then 1,000 were eliminated from the 2,000. Three hundred left. Among the three hundred, another two hundred and fifty people were eliminated. Only the last fifty people will stay in the palace.
The twenty people awarded to Xiang Nan by Jiajing were selected from those two hundred and fifty people. Not only are they all children of good families, but their figure, appearance, and manners are impeccable, with dignified manners and gentle temperaments. It can be said that it is almost less than modern beauty pageants.
…
In the past few years, Shaolin Temple has often caused trouble for Tai Chi Sect.
However, they only dared to retaliate secretly, but did not dare to openly oppose.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan is now in great power, covering the sky with one hand, and has great power. Moreover, the glass, mirrors, cement, sweet potatoes, corn, smallpox immunization methods, etc. that he produced have benefited hundreds of millions of people and have a very high reputation among the people.
If Shaolin Temple dares to confront him openly, no one from the court to the people will agree.
On the one hand, the Kung Fu of Tai Chi is also unique, especially Tai Chi, which can be hard or soft. It can be used with one heart and practiced to a high level, which is no worse than Shaolin's stunts.
In addition, Zhang Junbao is also in charge of the Heluo area, and he also has the strength of a grandmaster. If he really wants to make a big fortune and he comes out, it will be troublesome.
Therefore, even if there is a fight, it will only be a small-scale friction and will not affect the overall situation.
…
Time flies, time flies.
More than twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. In the 25th year of Jiajing, Xiang Nan was sixty years old and applied to Jiajing to beg for his bones to be returned to his hometown.
Emperor Jiajing was naturally reluctant to part with him and expressed his condolences many times.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to agree.
In fact, because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, his body does not show many signs of aging. There are few wrinkles on his face, and he rarely gets sick. His limbs are still strong and strong. Especially the internal organs are so strong that I can climb the Fragrant Mountain in one breath without being out of breath.
To be honest, if you don't know his true age, just looking at his appearance, it would not be surprising to say that he is in his twenties.
This also made Jiajing envious.
He also practices Taoism, but his results are far less effective than Xiang Nan's. He is forty years old this year, twenty years younger than Xiang Nan, but he looks much older than him.
The only pity is that although Xiang Nan is still young and energetic, he still has no children. Emperor Jiajing rewarded him with a hundred beautiful girls, but in the end he always got nothing.
Xiang Nan guessed that it was probably Dong Tianbao's own problem, such as no sperm, less sperm, or weak sperm, which was none of other people's business.
However, Emperor Jiajing had another opinion. He believed that Xiang Nan had achieved Tao through cultivation, refining essence into Qi, and refining Qi into spirit. Now that all the energy has been cultivated, there will naturally be no children.
Hearing his idealistic explanation, Xiang Nan felt dumbfounded.
Gu Wei
But to be honest, it really doesn't matter to him whether he has children or not.
His main focus is still on martial arts training.
In the past twenty years, Xiang Nan's kung fu has reached the point where he has reached the pinnacle of perfection.
He has mastered the twenty-four unique skills of Shaolin to a great level, and his movements are extremely powerful.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Juexin, the leader of Bodhidharma Hall, was still alive at this time, Xiang Nan would probably not need even ten moves to defeat him.
Tai Chi is close to perfection, and Tai Chi Sword has also reached the state of Dacheng.
But having said that, the more Xiang Nan deduces, the more he feels that Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword have no limits. They are two martial arts with great potential, even better than Prajna Palm, Vajra Fist, Bodhidharma Sword Technique, etc. many.
If you learn more martial arts in the future, you can also push Tai Chi and Tai Chi sword to a higher level.
…
In the 40th year of Jiajing's reign, Xiao Donggua contracted a chronic disease, and medicine failed to work, and she finally passed away.
At this time, she was seventy-eight years old. In ancient times, longevity was rare.
On her deathbed, she was very sorry to Xiang Nan, "I'm sorry, Tianbao, for not being able to give birth to a boy and a girl for you."
The ancients believed that there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring. Among the seven rules of emergence, the second is to have no heirs.
"It doesn't matter, it's my fault, it's none of your business." Xiang Nan comforted her, "In this life, it's enough for me to have you. In the next life, if we are destined, we will be together again. When the time comes, you will give birth to me. Seven or eight."
"Yeah." Xiao Donggua nodded, and then closed his eyes.
…
The familiar beep sounded again.
"Dong Tianbao is very grateful to the host for helping him realize his wish. Not only did he live up to Xiao Donggua, but he also became the second person. The Taoist Supreme who is more than ten thousand people, enjoys all the glory and wealth, and left a beautiful memory for him."
"The mission is completed, the host will return soon!"
After the prompt sounded, a light door appeared out of thin air.
Xiang Nan's soul was immediately sucked out of Tianbao's body and thrown into the Light Gate.
Then a series of pictures flashed across his eyes.
There are scenes of him and Jun Bao practicing Tai Chi, there are scenes of him and Jun Bao opening the Tai Chi sect, there are scenes of him marrying Xiao Donggua, there are scenes of him beheading Liu Jin, there are scenes of him going to Beijing to meet the saint, there are scenes of him always The scenes of receiving Taoism...all are very beautiful memories.
"Does the host consume the [Memory Stone] to keep all the memories of this life?" At this time, the system prompted again.
Of course Xiang Nan chose [Yes].
For this mission, he had spent most of his life practicing martial arts. It would be a real pity if it could be erased in one go.
At this time, he heard the system prompt again, "As a reward for the host, Dong Tianbao is willing to dedicate his whole body of martial arts and martial arts talent to repay."
Immediately, a large number of boxing techniques, stick techniques, and sword techniques poured into his mind, making Xiang Nan feel dizzy.
Moreover, he felt that his body had been strengthened.
At this moment, the system prompts again, "Congratulations to the host for receiving the [World Stone] and [Memory Stone] rewards!"
