[Datang Shuanglong] Aspiration

Xu Ziling didn't return to the room in good spirits until midnight, and discussed with Kou Zhong about the last sleep time, so on the second day after they arrived at the Pegasus Ranch, Song Shidao's condition was not very good-although the young It is true that the Lord has rested, but he is still injured. Although it is not serious, it is not much better.

"Young master's complexion is not good, but Xiu Xun's hospitality is not good?"

"It's absolutely nothing, the host is too worried," Song Shidao said softly, "It's just that I was careless last night, and my practice went wrong. Now that nothing has happened, I have to trouble the host to accompany me. It's extremely annoying."

Shang Xiuxun nodded in understanding, and didn't ask any more questions. After all, she and Song Shidao had only known each other for a day, and they hadn't gotten to know each other well enough to discuss martial arts. No matter what Song Shidao said was an excuse or not, everyone tacitly said, So she smiled and said: "The young master came from a long way, Xiuxun should of course do his best to be a landlord. Today I will take you to visit the Pegasus Ranch. The two little brothers can also choose the mount they like."

Originally, Ssangyong should be very interested in choosing a mount. Even if Kou Zhong was not so interested because of jealousy, Xu Ziling would not be jealous too... But because of last night's experience, Xu Ziling was also mentally weak. Even the gorgeous face of the Lord could not arouse passion.So, after Song Shidao picked a horse for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the two boys who didn't sleep well last night were "driven" back to rest by Song Shidao and Shang Xiuxun who were full of concern.

"The two little brothers also lost their temper in practice?" Shang Xiuxun said in a slightly joking tone.

"Probably because the climate is not acclimatized..." Song Shidao smiled casually, and easily changed the topic, and happily communicated with Shang Xiuxun——Spent alone with such a good-tempered beauty, the young master has no pressure at all .

On the contrary, Kou Zhong, who went back to the room to catch up on sleep, felt extremely depressed. Didn't he create a chance for his love rival?What a tragedy!

"If it wasn't for Ling Shao, you explained the stinky old man's natural theory last night until the sun climbed out of the mountain, how could we be driven back..."

"Hey! You are the one who wants to ask me. I know Young Master Zhong that you are full of acid now, but you can't catch me, right?!"

"Hey, if I knew this would happen, I should have been so excited just now."

"Come on, take a basin of water to shine on your eyes, they are as black as two carbon balls, you'd better come and sleep, Young Master Zhong, I have to go to see Mr. Lu tonight."

"...It's all the fault of that stinky old man!"

"Don't make trouble for no reason, Young Master Zhong."

"Hmph, I'm asleep."

"..."

After Song Shidao and Shang Xiuxun settled the business, they rode horses and chased the wind together on the plain, and had fun until the evening. Then Song Shidao used the barbecue place in the ranch to show his superb craftsmanship, and cooked it after he was full. Tea relieves the tiredness, and Shang Xiuxun was once again eye-opened and highly impressed by the tea art that the young master learned from Mrs. Song.

Song Shidao and Shang Xiuxun, who are also from aristocratic families, have endless common topics to talk about. Even though they have only known each other for two days, they have already met each other and called each other confidants.

Therefore, when Song Shidao returned to the guest house, night had already enveloped the vast sky and earth, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not in the room, they should have gone to drink fruit wine in Lu Miaozi's small building.

Exhaling a long breath, Song Shidao immediately felt a strong sense of exhaustion coming out of his body wave after wave. He closed his eyes and finally decided to wait until midnight to find Lu Miaozi——Young Master The Lord urgently needs to exercise his strength to heal his injuries and take a rest. If he continues to torment his own body, it is really not what a wise man should do.

On the other side, behind the bamboo grove, beside the waterfall, and in the small building, Lu Miaozi and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were drinking and chatting. Listen, kid—this principle is called "one that escapes".

"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty." These two sentences come from the Book of Changes. Because of the subsequent method of hexagrams, people have always regarded this sentence as only for divination. It is useless in other respects.But Lu Miaozi realized the truth of reaching the heaven and the earth from it: the so-called heaven and earth are incomplete, and all appearances cannot be perfected, and perfect things cannot be manifested. "Tao" is invisible because it is perfect, so I want To realize the Tao, one must find out that "one" to comprehend the true meaning of the Tao.

This principle can be applied in all aspects: whether it is architecture, institutions, or the way of martial arts, it even concerns emotional choices and the meaning and value of life.

Lu Miaozi's eyes were dim, and he sighed: "Fifty is a perfect number. When the number is fifty, everything in the world is in its own place, and there is no movement. But if it is empty, when it is 49, there will be an extra empty." Once the number is out, the other 49 numbers can be changed and changed, with endless changes..."

Xu Ziling was overwhelmed and said: "This statement, sir, is really wonderful!" Kou Zhong also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Lu Miaozi glared at the two of them, frowned solemnly and said, "You two boys, do you really understand what I'm talking about?" It's not so much that he is preaching and giving lessons, it's better to say that he is just expressing his inner feelings. I didn't expect Ssangyong to understand too many things. Even Xu Ziling, who he had a crush on, Lu Miaozi only hoped that the other party's memory would be able to write down what he said first, so that he could learn more slowly in the next few decades of life. Slow to comprehend... If they can really understand it, that would be too amazing; if they are lying and pretending to understand, it is even more undesirable, so Lu Miaozi's brows became more and more wrinkled.

But before Xu Ziling could speak, Kou Zhong had already said: "What's so difficult to understand? Isn't this the same as fifty people sitting on fifty chairs? , naturally there won’t be any changes. But if one person is missing or an empty chair comes out, there will naturally be a lot of changes.” His nimble eyes stared back at Lu Miaozi, and his face seemed to be clearly Wrote three disdainful characters of "little meaning".

Lu Miaozi was stunned for a while, looked at the two boys in disbelief, and finally sighed: "Now I finally believe that there is a genius in this world."

Kou Zhong proudly raised his head and said: "Of course, Xiaoling and I are geniuses, now you are convinced!" Hmph, he said that Master Zhong was a fool before, but finally he has a lot of discord The elderly care too much.

Lu Miaozi couldn't help laughing. He stared at Ssangyong meaningfully for a while, finally got up, moved to a bookcase, put his hand inside, touched some mechanism, only heard two "rolling" sounds, and the hall's heart fell apart. The three-foot-square stone slab sank, and it happened to be the top step leading to the stone steps below—it was the first time for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to witness such an exquisite mechanism, and they were naturally dumbfounded.

Lu Miaozi smiled triumphantly, as if he had finally regained some confidence from these two miraculous boys. He pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "Come on, let's go down together." After speaking, he took the lead and stepped down the stone steps.

The two followed him down with great interest. It turned out that there was a three-foot-square secret room below. Something strange in shape, like a weapon.

Lu Miaozi pointed to the books on the long table and said, "Choose yourselves."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling poked their heads to look, and saw that the book covers were written "Organism", "Astronomy", "Mathematics", "Architecture", "Art of War", "Geography", "History". " and "Strategy" and so on.Ssangyong was overjoyed. They could only eavesdrop outside the window of their private school since they were young. They have never received systematic education, and the knowledge they know is upside down. What about Lu Miaozi's clear and clear summary?The two of them immediately divided up these experience notes according to their respective interests.

Seeing that Kou Zhong couldn't wait to read the book, Lu Miaozi hurriedly said, "Don't read it in front of me, otherwise you will understand it once you read it. I'm afraid I'm going to make you vomit blood."

Kou Zhong shrugged with a smile, put a few books into his arms, spread his hands again, and said, "Is there any other good thing, why don't you give it to us together? Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you may find it hard to find." Geniuses like us."

Lu Miaozi gave him a blank look, pointed to a box in the corner, and said, "There are ten masks I made inside, which can transform you into another person. It is the most convenient when walking in the rivers and lakes, and I guarantee that no one can see through it. Take three of them each." The two were overjoyed and found it very interesting, so they went to choose.Kou Zhong was careful, he also remembered the appearance of the remaining masks.

In the end, Lu Miaozi took down a pair of steel claws from the wall, gave one to each of them, and said: "These pair of 'Flying Gods' are the treasures I relied on to escape from the evil gate, and they can be used separately. Its sharpness can scratch through any object...Of course, it requires high martial arts skills, and you are still far behind. The steel ring behind the tail is connected with a ten-foot-long ice silk, driven by true energy, can make the steel claw It is as flexible as a human hand, and the silk can be long or short... In short, it is very useful, you should study it yourself!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were overjoyed and thanked repeatedly, they couldn't put it down for this treasure.

Lu Miaozi frowned again, and sighed: "No matter how exquisite and ingenious a weapon is, it is only a small way. If you rely too much on it, it will be detrimental to the practice of superior martial arts. I will send you this pair of 'Flying God' ’, I don’t know if it’s helping you, or it’s going to hurt you in the end.”

Xu Ziling said: "We understand this truth. This is a life-saving treasure. It should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. It is the top priority to practice our own internal energy and lightness kung fu."

Lu Miaozi nodded and said: "I hope you won't make the same mistakes I did. Alas, I am used to relying on such ingenious tools, so no matter how difficult it is to make progress in lightness skills, although it is convenient at the beginning, it is difficult in the end." The gains outweigh the losses..."

Kou Zhong was moved and said: "Sir, you have taught me a good lesson. Just now I was greedy and wanted to get more treasures from you. This kind of opportunistic thinking is already a big mistake!"

Lu Miaozi stared at him intently for a while, then snorted and said, "You finally called me Mr., and now I like you a little too."

Kou Zhong's eyes were bright, and he said in a brisk tone: "Hey, Master Zhong, of course I love flowers when everyone sees them!" Xu Ziling laughed with a "poof", and Lu Miaozi was also amused. A fruitful boy left the secret room.

What couldn't be more coincidental was that the three of them walked up the stairs, and Song Shidao came to the front of the small building—he stood still at the door, first glanced at Lu Miaozi's heartfelt smiling face, then at Kou Zhonghe In Xu Ziling's baggy clothes, the young master smiled and said: "It seems that you have all gained a lot."

Lu Miaozi raised his eyebrows and said, "You're late, kid, and you don't have your share."

Song Shidao said with a free and easy smile: "As long as senior is willing to let me go upstairs to taste the fine wine and give me a chance to talk, it doesn't matter if you let me post the treasure." Man, do you want any baby in the future?The abacus in the young master's heart was crackling.

Lu Miaozi looked at a wooden box the size of a book in Song Shidao's hand, and hummed softly, "Come in."

Song Shidao walked into the building with a smile, and Kou Zhong immediately greeted him happily, took his hand, and said in the tone of presenting treasures: "Second Brother Song, those treasures are really interesting, old man Lu doesn't want to give you another copy It's okay, what's mine is yours."

Lu Miaozi, who had already walked up the steps, looked back at Kou Zhong thoughtfully, as if he suddenly understood something, and his heart was shocked.
