Dozens of Yuan Hui ago, first Nanhua Taoist preached to Daqian, and later Guangcheng and Duobao taught Taoist teachings.
Taoism, Buddhism, heresy, and so on appeared one after another, each shining brightly in the world and blooming everywhere.
However, the Taoist sect's authentic qi-refining practitioners who have achieved great success are rarely seen in the first place, and they are even rarer in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past few hundred years.
After a night of practice.
After Lin Xuanzhi did morning lessons with the Holy Scriptures, the Eight Great Divine Mantras, Nanhua, Earth Mother, Mugong, Jinmu and other sacred spells, he finished the exercise with a set of Bagua Youshen Palm.
In Chiming's world, Taoism's morning and evening classes do not have so many rigid rules, and there are even fewer requirements for home practice and casual practice. After all, Taoism shows its sage, and sincerity will have its own spiritual response.
Lin Xuanzhi had breakfast and studied talismans in the study. Before noon, he saw Biyue outside the door and said, "Master, the eldest lady has sent Sister Jinsuo to invite you over."
Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion descended from the old lady Lin Tianhu. There were five rooms in total. The first, third, and fourth rooms were the direct descendants of the old lady. The second and fifth rooms were the direct descendants of two old concubines, Hua and Rong respectively. The heirs of each house were considered prosperous.
Lin Xuanzhi is the eldest son and only son of Lin Ze, the third-bedroom master. His mother is the daughter of Zhang Dongxian, a great scholar.
Mr. Dafang is also a military general. In recent years, he has been ordered to guard the northwest. He has not returned for three years.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Cui, came from a wealthy family. She had been in charge of the family affairs for many years, and was in charge of the family affairs and human relations. She was fair and just.
Among the clan, except for the old man, who is the strongest, comparable to the Taoist Xuanguang monks, only the old man has entered the martial arts realm.
Zhongyongbo's mansion is five deep and has many east-west courtyards. The front and back gardens are three in size, so it doesn't feel crowded when a large family lives there.
Men and women in the Zhou Dynasty usually meet and get engaged when they are fifteen or sixteen, and it is normal for them to get married when they are around eighteen or twenty. However, there are not many people like Lin Xuanzhi who have not met each other until they are twenty-three years old.
Of the three elder brothers of his generation in the family, two younger brothers are already married, and there are also several sisters who are married outside.
After passing through the front garden, Lin Xuanzhi quickly arrived at Yanqing Hall, the main courtyard, and happened to see a richly dressed boy of thirteen or fourteen walking out of the courtyard.
"My nephew has met my fifth uncle." The young man saw Lin Xuanzhi and saluted with a smile.
Lin Xuanzhi nodded gently: "Is this Sheng'er, coming to pay your respects to your grandmother?"
Lin Sheng said with a bright smile, "I'm just here to report my lessons to my grandma. Does fifth uncle have something to do with grandma? My nephew, I won't detain you."
Lin Xuanzhi nodded lightly, then walked past him and came to the front of the main hall, where he saw a middle-aged lady in apricot-yellow clothes at the head of the throne, looking at the account book intently.
She is the head wife of the Lin family. Although she is over fifty years old, she looks like she is only in her early forties. She is obviously well-maintained, and there is no trace of fragility in her movements. She obviously has good skills.
"Xuanzhi has met the eldest aunt." Lin Xuanzhi greeted the eldest lady with a warm smile.
The eldest lady raised her head and smiled, with a kind face and a shrewd and capable look in her eyes. She said hurriedly: "Look at me, I am so worried about these bad debts that I don't even know you are here, Wu Lang."
Lin Xuanzhi had a well-placed smile on his face and said slowly: "My aunt has been in charge of the business for more than thirty years. No matter how bad the debt is, you can still sort it out. Grandma often says that you are always the safest."
The eldest wife sighed when she heard this: "What's the use of being safe? Outsiders only see how glorious I am in charge of the whole family, but they don't know that I have endless worries every day, but you always know it, Wu Lang."
"Not to mention all the big and small things in the house, but also the human relations between the gods and the capital, and the relatives and clan members in my hometown also send letters from time to time. Either this is missing or that is missing, and we can't shirk it, otherwise people will just think that our team is a one-day team. The dragon is in the sky, the earth is mud beneath our feet, we no longer care about our clan members and relatives."
Lin Xuanzhi agreed very much with this. The job of housekeeper may seem like a good job, but it is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. The eldest wife has been able to manage Zhongyong Bo's house in an orderly manner for so many years, and the property has increased year by year. But those who have the ability .
"My aunt works hard, and my nephew and family all see it."
The eldest lady looked a little relieved, but she didn't seem to be upset and said: "But a good woman can't make a meal without rice. You also know that there are some things that cannot be exchanged for gold and silver."
"Auntie, I have to reduce your tiger bone training soup from one bowl every three days to one bowl every five days. It's really out of necessity. Although the output of medicinal materials on Zhuangzi is stable and sufficient, the five-hundred-year-old Tiger Bone Ridge The bones are so bad, and those who are more than a thousand years old are no longer in the hands of third-class people like us. Now that the martial arts examination is coming, we must take care of those in the clan who need to take the exam."
Lin Xuanzhi smiled when he heard this, and said in a warm voice: "Is this why my aunt called me here? It's not that important at all. In extraordinary times, resources should support those in urgent need."
The Great Zhou Science Examination and the Martial Arts Examination are held once a year, with the purpose of selecting good soldiers who can enrich the country's strength. Moreover, it is said that the Wu Barbarians are becoming more and more restless, and I am afraid that the Divine Dynasty is also secretly preparing.
"Besides, Sheng'er has been sharpening his sword very hard this time, and his muscles and bones are strong. He is already at the second level of Muscle and Bone Realm, right? It seems that he is confident of getting a good ranking, right?"
The eldest lady looked soothed and smiled when she heard this: "In my family, Wu Lang, you are the most considerate of my aunt. Others just think that I am taking advantage of the housekeeper to line my own pockets."
Thinking of her eldest grandson, the eldest lady smiled even more: "I didn't expect that Wulang could see it as soon as he broke through the realm of muscles and bones. It seems that you have really succeeded in cultivating Taoism."
Lin Xuanzhi just smiled when he heard this. The beauty of his practice was not enough to be compared to outsiders!
There are so many high-ranking officials in the divine capital, and there are many who practice Taoism just to live a few more years. Naturally, Lin Xuanzhi is not the only "noble monk".
However, there are not many people who are successful in getting started. They are basically still building the foundation. More than 90% of them are difficult because of their unsteady minds and the inability to cultivate spiritual thoughts. The few people who cultivate essence are still limited. Due to many factors, including internal and external, progress has been slow.
After all, the city of Gods is prosperous and there are too many temptations. If you can't control it, your practice will be wasted.
Even when you are meditating, you can't control your thoughts. If you don't do something wrong, your mind will be hurt, and you will be crazy and crazy.
Therefore, even if there is no shortage of some side sects who practice Kung Fu, it is rare for the disciples of any family to reach the level of Gangsha or above. Those who are truly committed to the path have probably left home to practice.
There are only three or five Taoist friends who have been able to communicate with Lin Xuanzhi for so many years, and only two have good relationships. As for the older generation, he is not able to contact them.
Lin Xuanzhi thought that his aunt had taken good care of him since he was a child, and he immediately smiled and said: "Sheng'er has just made a breakthrough, and I am afraid that the nourishing soup is indispensable. My daily practice routine will be provided to Sheng'er first, which can be regarded as a little bit of my uncle." Mind."
Hearing this, the eldest wife couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Wu Lang, it's my aunt's fault to reduce your share by a few points. It's my fault as an elder to support you."
"In normal times, that would be fine. You can always get enough materials at a high price, so you won't have to reduce the number of portions. But now..."
"Wu Lang, you know that it's okay for my aunt's mother-in-law, Cui, to help collect some precious medicines in normal times, but now she can't do it."
Lin Xuanzhi also knows that the market is very chaotic now. Although the Cui family and the Earl's Mansion are not bad, they can't compete with those real big families, princes and nobles.
"You also know that my grandmother gave my nephew a dragon bone health ointment and a tiger bone strengthening soup for Sheng'er to use."
After several shirks, the eldest lady finally accepted Lin Xuanzhi's kindness with a blushing face. Then she took out a post and asked the maid to hand it to Lin Xuanzhi. She had no choice but to say with an order: "On the third day of the lunar month next month, the Eighth Sage Princess is in the city. There is a peach blossom banquet in Dongwan Peach Garden, and there are many young talents and ladies among them. You should have got married long ago, but you have repeatedly refused. Don't be absent this time, otherwise the old lady will whip you and me."
Lin Xuanzhi didn't want to socialize on occasions like this before, and his eldest wife always provided him with cover. But it seems that he can't do it this time?
With a helpless smile, he could only take the post and said warmly: "Nephews all listen to their aunt."
The eldest lady then smiled and turned to tell Jin Suo: "Don't get the jade pendant I prepared for Wu Lang yet."
Jin Suo bowed respectfully and stepped away. After a while, she held a palm-sized brocade box and opened it in front of Lin Xuanzhi. It turned out to be a round jade pendant that was milky white and warm in color and engraved with the shape of a pine and crane. I heard the eldest wife say: "This is a jade pendant made of thousand-year-old Yuanyang jade. It has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the mind. There is no one in the house who is more suitable to use it than you."
Lin Xuanzhi did not refuse and took it respectfully. He chatted with the eldest lady for a long time before thanking her and leaving.
Now is the time to immerse yourself in hard work, but my grandmother said that this post is really hard not to leave.
"In March...that guy should have almost recovered."
"And Sister Qing..."
"They are both older youths, so there is no way they will be dragged away by force."
Thinking of his two friends, Lin Xuanzhi smiled a little more on his face, but he was not so resistant.
Otherwise, he would only feel annoyed and bored when a group of princes, dignitaries, and officials' children gathered together.
