Chapter 68: Raindrops grow at night
In Lingxiu Villa, after Hu Liang made the request to stay for a while, He Jin naturally agreed and placed the group in a unique courtyard on the west side of Lingxiu Villa. He Jin personally led the two to his residence.
This courtyard is located in a corner of the villa. Few people come here. The environment is quiet. There are a few bamboos planted in the yard, which adds a bit of elegance.
Hu Liang stood in the corridor, gently rubbing the head of the master's knife and said, "Old Li, this Lingxiu Villa is not simple. The plaque hanging at the entrance of the village contains a mouthful of true energy. Even after so many years, it has not dissipated. It can be seen how profound the realm of the person who wrote the characters was."
"Xu Shisong, a master of the Tianren Xiaoyao Realm, was once ranked eighth on the Taixuan List." Li Xuandu said slowly: "But that's all in the past. Over the years, the imperial court has been declining, and there are fewer masters on the surface. I just don't know if there are still real masters hidden in secret."
Hu Liang hesitated and asked: "When the Emperor's Battle?"
Li Xuandu's face was a little dim, "In addition to the many realms of return to the truth on the surface, there must be a realm of heaven and man in secret, but we don't know."
Hu Liang nodded.
Li Xuandu looked at the rain outside and said, "As for Lingxiu Villa, whose ancestors have not been rich yet, I was a master of the Return Realm back then. Now I still have to rely on you to protect you. So, it was the past, now, and now, there are two different things."
Hu Liang leaned under the pillar, looked at the rain outside, and said, "This heavy rain will take only one day to finish. I wonder if I can leave here tomorrow morning. If I can't leave, will there be more dreams at night?"
"Yes, maybe not." Li Xuandu said: "This is of course a nonsense, but the road ahead will never be smooth."
Hu Liang stood up from the corridor column and asked, "Old Li, why do you think Qingluanwei should hold on like this?"
Li Xuan thought about it and said slowly: "Eighty-mostly it involves the struggle in the court. Since the death of the four ministers of Gu Ming, the Empress Dowager and the King of Jin have taken power together. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. There must be a struggle between the two. In addition, the little emperor is getting older, and he should be sixteen years old this year. He will be crowned in a few years. Therefore, there are many civil and military officials who are dependent on the imperial teacher Sun Songchan. In today's temple, the Empress Dowager Party, the King of Jin Party, the Emperor's Teacher Party, and the Three Parties are in a stake. Among them, the Empress Dowager Party is the most powerful, the King of Jin Party is the next, and the Emperor's Teacher Party is the next."
"Zhou Tingchao is a righteous man who dares to speak and speaks bluntly. But he is not in the cabinet or in the center. The Tongzheng Envoy can completely drown his memorial, but it has not drown it. This is an article. As far as I know, the Tongzheng Envoy is now a member of the imperial teacher Sun Songchan, so the reason why Zhou Tingchao's memorial can shake the court was because someone behind him wanted to shake the court, which involved party disputes and turbulent things. Although we came to save people for the word "righteousness", it was no longer possible to cover the word "righteousness". Now, we can only take one step at a time."
Hu Liang scratched his head, "Old Li, you have never been an official, and you still know these twists and turns?"
Li Xuandu sighed and said, "The situation in the imperial capital back then was so dangerous. Do I dare not understand? If I don't understand, I will accidentally make a knife in someone else's hand, so I have to understand, and I dare not ignore it."
Hu Liang said, "It's amazing, it's amazing. Lao Li, it's a pity that you don't want to be an official."
Li Xuan didn't agree and looked at Zhou Shuning who was closing her eyes to refine her energy.
The Xuannv Sect's Kung Fu belongs to Yin and Near Water. As the saying goes, the best is like water. In rainy days, it is regarded as the harmony between heaven and earth. Therefore, practicing Xuannv in places near water or in heavy rainy weather can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The little girl is now focusing on collecting water essence into qi in her body, and she cannot take into account the conversation between Li and Hu.
Hu Liang walked into the house from the outer corridor and said, "Old Li, we actually won a bit of luck in the battle of Nanshan Garden. After all, from the perspective of open strength, it is not difficult for them to beat us."
Li Xuan did not deny it, "They felt that they were too careless and were too careless. Instead of using some weird methods, it would be better to fight a battle openly."
"That's right." Hu Liang smiled and said, "If Chen Guhong was not thinking about poisoning, but directly opened the landscape formation in Nanshan Garden, maybe we were killed by him. But then again, if the poisoning was done, there would be no effort there. After all, they were greedy and wanted to take us with the least strength, rather than with the safest way."
Li Xuan didn't say anything about this, so he found a fragment from the eighteenth floor flowing bead on his wrist. It was obtained from Chen Guhong's "Man and Immortal Orifice Refining Method" of the True Sect. Although it was just a fragment, it also has advantages. Li Xuan planned to look through it when he was fine, which could be regarded as fulfilling what he had learned.
After taking a look, Hu Liang withdrew his gaze. He was different from his fate. Some people were involved in various schools, but they were not good at being possessed, and even had the danger of becoming obsessed with others. However, some people could integrate and form their own family.
There are precedents in this kind of thing. It is said that there were two methods of success in the world, namely water and fire. Many people once tried to practice two methods at the same time, either water and fire strife and perish, or yin and yang were indiscriminate and went into devils and died. Almost everyone regarded it as a dangerous path. But in the end, there was a great master who, in the situation that everyone was not optimistic about, integrated the two methods into one body, water and fire were combined, and yin and yang were combined, and achieved the great success method, and obtained the realm of heaven and man.
Therefore, it is dedicated or complicated, and it varies from person to person. Take the two of them as an example. Lao Li is the kind of master who can be integrated, and it is enough to practice the sword in his hand. Especially after reaching the innate realm, the sword technique is almost instinctive. The so-called sword practice is no longer the practice of ordinary people in the martial arts world. As the saying goes, "If you practice boxing but not practicing martial arts, you will be in vain when you are old." No matter how exquisite the knife technique is, it will still rely on your own foundation to support it. Therefore, Hu Liang, who is already in the innate realm, began to get involved in the mystery of the immortals, and he could not be distracted at all.
The heavy rain poured down, and the hall fell into silence.
Li Xuandu is studying, and the little girl is practicing martial arts. The bored Hu Liang looked at the white water line hanging down from the rain eaves and fell on the steps in front of the corridor, splashing water. He remembered a poem for no reason, as if it was called "The rain fell into the sky and the night was long"?
Long nights and many dreams.
At this moment, the man in blue staggered out of the back door of Nanshan Garden in heavy rain, and walked along the steep mountain road of Li Xuandu and others, slowly descending the mountain.
Because of the heavy rain, there was water in the dry riverbed, which looked like a river.
He walked into it and his body was shaking, as if he would be washed down by the water at any time, but he never fell down and just walked to the other side.
Then he looked up and looked at Lingxiu Villa hidden behind the rain.
