Li Hanguang still looked at the mountain moon and said slowly: "Shuo'er, you are still young. You only thought that the Tang Dynasty was prosperous and everyone was happy. In fact, there were traitors in the court, powerful ministers from outside coveted them, and wars outside the territory were frequent. , the people of the Central Plains are exhausted and have many worries."
Jiang Shuo remembered that Zhao Rui had made similar remarks to him about the current world, and if he had some enlightenment, he said, "Excuse me, Grand Master, what can I do?"
Li Hanguang said: "Han Feizi said that Confucianism disrupted the law with literature, and chivalrous people violated the law with martial arts. Heroes and heroes have never been favored by the court. Shuo'er, whether you like it or not, you have joined the green forest. It sounds good to say that the leader of the Jianghu Alliance is nice. Say no. The good word is 'Pirate Chief'. This Bandit Chief looks like a good person, but in fact he is neither an official nor a citizen. It is difficult to be famous for a hundred years, but it is easy to be infamous for ten thousand years. Even Li Shijun has a mixed reputation. I only hope that you can be a pillar of the country in the future. Only by maintaining peace and being benevolent and righteous to the people and helping people in distress can one become a great chivalrous person."
Jiang Shuo solemnly bowed his hands and said, "I will follow the teachings of the great master. When Shuo'er started practicing martial arts, he just thought it was fun. Now he understands the meaning of a knight."
Li Hanguang twisted his beard and smiled and said: "The old Taoist retreated to the mountains and forests, but he allowed you, a young man, to care about the world and help those in need. I ask you, Young Master Jiang, to be more considerate."
Jiang Shuo also laughed and said: "Grand master, you are making fun of me again." Immediately, someone said seriously: "Shuo'er still has something unclear. Grand master was fine two years ago. How come the leg problem is so serious today?"
Li Hanguang said: "Doctors can't heal themselves. That's what I mean. I have a disease called wind paralysis. Painful paralysis spreads through all the joints. The onset is like a tiger bite, so I can't walk on the ground." As he said this, he took off his shoes and socks and gave him a hand. Jiang Shuo saw that his whole foot was swollen.
Jiang Shuo asked: "I heard that wind disease is also caused by Qi deficiency, blood stasis, and blocked meridians. Mr. Zhenyin's internal strength is so high, why can't he heal himself?"
Li Hanguang smiled and said: "Shuo'er, you should know that the flow of true energy in the body follows the meridians, whether it is the twelve meridians or the eight extra meridians, it always runs in the acupoints of the meridians, and this pain and numbness syndrome wanders Between the joints of the toe bones, they are not acupuncture points, but are located in places that are difficult for Zhongqi to reach, so they are blocked and blocked."
Jiang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "There is a method in Jade Jue to move Qi that does not follow the meridians. Mr. Zhenyin, do you want to try it?"
Li Hanguang said: "Shuo'er, I heard you say that although the jade formula is wonderful, it is also dangerous. The old Taoist is not afraid of death. It's just that since the Southern Dynasties, Maoshan Taoist Temple has been abandoned for a long time. I originally practiced Taoism in Songshan and Wangwu, so I requested an order to come back." Maoshan is also to revive the Maoshan ancestral court of the Shangqing Dynasty. There are still many unfinished things, and the pain and numbness are still bearable, so I really don’t want to take risks."
Jiang Shuo said: "Mr. Zhenyin, I can only teach you the small method of moving Qi across the acupoints between the toes, but you don't need to learn the other chapters of the Jade Art. Although it cannot cure the pain and paralysis, it may be able to alleviate it a little bit."
Seeing that Jiang Shuo was sincere and that he had really suffered from wind paralysis in the past two years, Li Hanguang agreed. Jiang Shuo held Li Hanguang's feet with both hands and silently performed the magical skills. As expected, Li Hanguang felt that Jiang Shuo's breath was not flowing properly into his body. It travels through the meridians, but disperses between the joints, and it feels like scratching the itchy areas that have not been scratched for many years. Li Hanguang's pain and numbness in the feet is immediately reduced, and he is indescribable.
Jiang Shuo told him about the method of luck. The jade formula is the general secret of "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing". It is integrated with Li Hanguang's internal skill. It will be revealed naturally. Li Hanguang's method of luck can be understood by Jiang Shuo. After completing the acupuncture points, the swelling on his insteps subsided a little after a cup of tea. Li Hanguang's feet landed on the ground and he did not feel much pain when he stood up. He praised: "The Jade Jue contains really wonderful things. Human Qi training must use Dantian Qi." The sea surges out, follows the meridians and then wanders around the sea of qi. I don't think there is this method of jumping acupuncture points between the meridians, which can benefit all the bones!"
He added: "But I haven't learned the fundamentals of Jade Jue. This method can relieve the pain, but it cannot cure it."
Jiang Shuo said hurriedly: "I can tell Mr. Zhenyin all the jade secrets."
Li Hanguang said: "No, no, I am very satisfied that I can relieve this disease. People can't be greedy for too much... Shuo'er, this shows how powerful the temptation of Jade Jue is. After practicing Taoism for half a life, he actually moved for a moment. If you don't think so, you must remember not to teach the Jade Secrets to others. It is your blessing to have this Taoist treasure of Maoshan Patriarch, but you cannot teach it to others at will, so as not to cause disaster."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Shuo'er understands."
The next day, Hun Weiming and Nan Jiyun came early to inform Li Hanguang that all the gang members who had gone down the mountain yesterday had left. Now that everything was ready, they asked Jiang Shuo when he was going to leave. However, Ge Ruliang, his wife and Li Tengkong came to see Li Hanguang to say goodbye. Li Hanguang asked Duguchu: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I will take care of you for a while." At that time, he was able to walk without any problems, but to prevent others from suspecting, he still sat on a four-wheeled vehicle.
Dugu Chu said: "I feel that my health is not serious now. Ge Lang and I were in a hurry when we left Xixi Villa. We were afraid that Ye Ye would be uneasy, so we wanted to say goodbye to the great master. It was the same when we returned to Xixi Villa to raise the young master. .”
Li Tengkong said, "Tengkong wanted to go to Jianhu with Sister Dugu. First, my sister was recovering, so I wanted to accompany her back to take care of her. Secondly, I heard that my sister lived in Jianhu, so I thought of an old friend who also lives in Jianhu. Lake, I want to visit an old friend along the way."
Li Hanguang smiled and said, "Are you talking about Siming Kuangke He Jizhen?"
Li Tengkong nodded in agreement, and Jiang Shuo was surprised: "Supervisor He has returned to Yuezhou? Why do you live in Jianhu?"
Li Tengkong said: "Shuo'er, you don't know something. Jianhu belongs to Shanyin in Yuezhou. He Jizhen originally lived in Shanyin before entering the court. Last year, he fell into a trance due to illness. Shangshu asked to return to his hometown to become a Taoist priest. The sage issued an edict to allow it. He also gave him a song of Jianhu and Yanchuan. He Jizhen changed his house outside Wuyunmen in Shanyin, Yuezhou into a Taoist temple, called Taoist Zhuang Qianqiu Temple, and built "Yiqu Pavilion" by Jianhu Lake. This was a year ago. ”
Dugu Chu said: "I don't know what Sister Tengkong said, but Qianqiu Temple, Yiquting and Xixi Villa are all on the shore of Jianhu Lake. Jianhu Lake is vast and the two families are not close to each other, but they can be considered neighbors. "
Jiang Shuo said happily: "Then I also want to visit Supervisor He and return the Jade Top Licorice Yellow to him."
Hun Weiming was confused: "To go to Yuezhou, we have to go south. We planned to go north, but the road didn't go well."
Ge Ruliang also said: "Young Master, you should give top priority to important matters. We were delayed all night last night. If we take a long detour, I'm afraid that Thief Cheng will not know where he has gone. I am also worried that Thief Cheng will go to Beihai and cause trouble." Mr. Li."
Jiang Shuo thought that was what he said, so he said to Li Tengkong: "In this case, I'd better go north with Brother Hun and Brother Nan, and please use your spare time to help me return the old horse to Supervisor He."
Ye Qingyao said, "Young Master is used to ordering people around. We are not from your Jianghu Alliance, and we don't have to listen to your orders."
Jiang Shuo was slapped by her, and he was speechless and said: "This...sister Qingyao, that's not what I meant..."
Xiang'er said, "Brother Shuo, why are you begging others? They just gave me the old horse and I'll help you return it."
Dugu Chu and Li Tengkong were both extraordinary women in the world. They hit it off when they met yesterday. However, Dugu Xiang and Ye Qingyao were quite at odds with each other and did not speak to each other.
When the adults saw the children quarreling, they all found it funny. Hun Weiming joked, "Hee hee, two girls are competing for the husband."
But the two women sighed at the same time: "Who wants to rob him? Isn't it so rare?"
As a result, everyone in the hall burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful for a while.
After the group of them said goodbye and left, Jiang Shuo did not dare to delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Li Hanguang and Hun, Nan, they also went sightseeing and went down the mountain together.
Going down the mountain to Chenggai Village, he saw Dugu Chu, Li Tengkong and his party were also there. Jiang Shuo brought the old horse to Xiang'er. He wanted to ride Zhao Rui's Black Guard, so Nan Ba early prepared a white horse for him. , although not as good as Yuding Licorice Huang Shenjun, it is also a rare good horse in the Central Plains. Jiang Shuo refused to give up Master Zhao's donkey, but Hun Weiming said: "I think Miss Xiaoye has no mount, so why not give Black Guard to her to ride?" Well, it just happens to be a pair with Mrs. Li’s white guard.”
Jiang Shuo nodded in agreement. When they were on their way to Maoshan, they had asked Ye Qingyao to ride the black guard. The black and white guards had similar foot strength, so they were indeed suitable for her master and servant to ride.
Hun Weiming said again: "Young Master, our group is going north on the trade route. Young Master, you are too flamboyant in your Taoist priest attire. If you want me to tell you, Young Master, just pretend to be a rich young man, and I will be the accountant. 8. Make a nursing home so that you don’t attract attention."
He had already ordered people to prepare clothes and asked Jiang Shuo to go into the store to change them. After a while, he came out and put on a white silk narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, a black leather quilt with jewels tied around his waist, a flat-topped mini futou on his head, and black leather Liuhe boots. He was no longer the dirty one. He is dressed like a little Taoist priest, but he is now a handsome young man.
Nan Jiyun smiled and said: "Hun Erlang, you still said not to show off. Our young master is so handsome, I'm afraid it will be difficult not to attract attention."
Ye Qingyao came over and unbuttoned Jiang Shuo's collar and opened the front. Jiang Shuo asked curiously: "Sister Qingyao, what do you mean?"
Ye Qingyao said: "Do you really think that you are a high-class person? You dress like a country bumpkin. No noble son from the east or west capital wears a robe with all the buttons fastened."
Jiang Shuo said humbly: "I am a child. How can I know how noble people dress? Thank you, Miss Qingyao, for teaching me."
Ye Qingyao spat: "Who wants to teach you? I just saw the way you look like a monkey and crowned with a crown. I really can't stand it..." This caused everyone to laugh again.
Everyone started talking and laughing. Jiang Shuo and his party wanted to cross the river from Guazhou to Jiangdu, and then go north via Shanyangdu. However, Li Tengkong and his party had to board a boat in Qu'a and go to Hangzhou under the Jiangnan River. Maoshan can also walk a short distance north together.
When Jiang Shuo and Li Tengkong came together, they were talking and laughing with Ye Qingyao, but for some reason she didn't give him a good look last night and this morning. When they were walking on the road, he came up to Ye Qingyao to talk to him. He chatted up and said: "Sister Qingyao, how did you become Teng Kongzi's maid? Are you an orphan too?"
Jiang Shuo himself was Jiang Liu'er and became Li Bai's school boy. Seeing that Xun Ni was also an orphan, he said that all the children and maids in the world were orphans. He asked casually, but he didn't want to but angered Ye Qingyao. Ye Qingyao was furious. Said: "She, the daughter of a gang leader, has a father and a mother, and I, a servant girl, am an orphan? Let me tell you that I was born in the Ye family of Nanyang, but my Aye is also a well-known figure!"
Jiang Shuo was beaten a few times by her, and just as he was about to explain, Ye Qingyao whipped the donkey and ran to the front.
