Chapter 13 The Goose (Part 1)

When they returned to the camp, neither Zheng Shi'an nor Zhang Zhongjian had returned.

Zheng Yanqing found dozens of people and vacate a carriage. Although he was young, because of Zheng Shi'an's face, the Zheng family obeyed him. And Zhang Zhongjian's side was even simpler. After Sun Simiao ordered, all the members of the Zhang family followed. Sometimes, reputation represents status, and Sun Simiao's reputation is not underestimated.

Yan Qing changed his clothes and ran to Sun Simiao's car.

Zheng Yanqing was very interested in the guidance technique that Sun Simiao said. However, Sun Simiao was not pretentious. After he asked Yan Qing to sit down, he took out a roll of bamboo slips and a piece of silk cloth from his luggage. Then he spread the silk cloth on the car board.

"Ten years ago, I studied Taoism in Taibai Mountain (now Mei County, Shaanxi Province). I accidentally found a cave and found a guided health map left by Tao Hongjing during the Southern Dynasties. The "Shennong Hundred Grass Classic" has a total of 28 volumes.

I have loved being a villain since I was a child, and I had spent all my family fortunes. I was very happy to get this at that time, so I practiced hard and achieved success in ten years. The silk cloth is a guide map printed by me, with a total of 108 movements. Tao Zhenren left a message, and these 108 movements were all created by the ancient real people imitating the creatures of heaven and earth, and I will teach you the methods of cultivation today."

It sounds very fantastic!

Zheng Yanqing looked down and nodded secretly.

He also heard a little about the health guidance techniques in ancient times.

Later generations, people once discovered the thousand-year guidance techniques left over from the Han Dynasty in the cultural relics unearthed from Mawangdui. At that time, there was a publishing house and published an illustrated book. Zheng Yanqing once bought one. However, due to work reasons, he did not have time to carefully check it, let alone practice imitation as stated in the book.

Now that he heard from the Medicine King, Yan Qing knew that this guidance technique was true.

Zheng Yanqing no longer thinks about becoming an immortal. But according to Sun Simiao, this kind of guidance technique has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, storing true power, and can also hide qi and blood. When you don’t exert force, you will treat it as an ordinary person. If you practice until the heat, your arms can have a thousand pounds of strength, and your body is as light as a swallow, your ears and eyes are bright. In short, this is an amazing technique.

Sun Simiao loved the art of romance, so he valued more the Shennong Baicao Classic.

Although he said he didn't understand the art of fighting, in the past few years, he has traveled all over famous mountains and rivers, and of course he also has the art of self-defense.

"Actually, my self-defense technique is just a little trick I have figured out by combining the Five Animal Play with the Guidance Technique, with the Five Animal Play as the main body. If you want to learn it, it is not a big deal to teach you."

"I want to learn!" Yan Qing nodded repeatedly, but changed his subject, "Mr. Sun, aren't you going to enter Sichuan?"

"I'm not in a hurry to enter Sichuan. Anyway, this self-defense technique is not difficult. I'll stay in Luoyang for a few days before entering Sichuan."

Zheng Yanqing frowned and was a little confused.

"Mr. Sun, what are you doing when you enter Sichuan?"

"I'm entering Sichuan..." Sun Simiao smiled and said softly: "There are too many troubles in the world and it is not suitable for practicing Taoism, so I'm going to enter Sichuan and seek Taoism in Emei."

Seeking the truth?

Zheng Yanqing looked at Sun Simiao in confusion, a little unbelievable. Because he saw a hint of hesitation in Sun Simiao's eyes. Everyone has their own difficulties. I think Sun Simiao is the same. If Yan Qing doesn't have a good time, he will ask again.

At this time, a noise came from outside the car. Du Ruhui was back with his treasure stone tablet!

Sun Simiao asked Yan Qing to put away the bamboo slips and silk cloth, and the two walked out of the carriage together.

Du Ruhui had a silly smile on his face and refused to leave the car. Later, Sun Simiao forced him away and changed his clothes.

Yan Qing looked around and felt funny.

Although it is quite troublesome to have such an extra stone, it seems that Du Ruhui has forgotten the matter of asking him to leave his words, which is also a good thing.

He was about to return to his vehicle, but Zheng Weishan came back.

"Yan Qing, Butler Zheng wants you to go into the city in a while and find him at the Shouyang Restaurant."

"ah?"

Zheng Yanqing was stunned, "Didn't grandpa say that he only had to rest for half a day? Why do you still have to go to the Shouyang Restaurant?"

"Haha, the great man decided to treat him at the Shouyang Restaurant, but Mr. Zheng refused, so he had to agree. The old butler also said, if it is convenient, please invite Mr. Sun to the banquet together... Oh, I think you should go and invite Mr. Sun."

Zheng Weishan also knew that Sun Simiao might not be able to appreciate his status.

Not to mention him, even if Zheng Shi'an personally invites him, he may not be able to invite Sun Simiao. Although Sun Simiao is white, he has a prominent reputation and status. How could he or Zheng Shi'an invite him or Zheng Shi'an? However, Zheng Yanqing, with his new style of calligraphy, might be able to invite Sun Simiao.

Zheng Yanqing nodded and looked at the sun. It was almost time.

So he ran to find Sun Simiao again and told the matter. Sun Simiao was so happy that he agreed immediately.

"I'll go too!"

Du Ruhui changed into a brand new white robe, and after hearing it, he also wanted to join in the fun.

Sun Simiao smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that your baby will be stolen?"

"Ha, these three Lin Biyong Monuments are treasures in my eyes, but in the eyes of others, they are probably nothing. Besides, if they are left in the camp, if they are lost, I will go to Zhang Sanlang to ask for it. Could it be that I am afraid that it will run away?"

Sun Simiao shook his head repeatedly, looking like Du Ruhui was determined to Zhang Zhongjian.

———————————————————————————

Yanshi County is not big.

However, because it is located on the edge of Luoyang, the court has paid great attention to Luoyang in recent years and has even planned to move the capital.

After Kaihuang, Guanzhong suffered repeated natural disasters.

Ten years after Kaihuang, Emperor Wen of Sui led all civil and military officials to eat in Luoyang three times, which also made Luoyang's status even higher. Yanshi was the only way to Guandong to Luoyang, and there were endless people coming and going, making it more and more prosperous and noisy.

Shouyang Restaurant is the best restaurant in Yanshi.

But unlike the Guanshui Pavilion in Xingyang, the Shouyang Restaurant is facing everyone.

As long as you have money, you can enjoy delicious food and listen to music and dance in the restaurant. If you find it boring, you can also find a few beautiful women to accompany you. Anyway, this kind of thing is nothing. The more you cover it up, the more it will be.

When Zheng Yanqing and others arrived at the Shouyang Restaurant, there were already traffic outside the restaurant.

The servant outside the door quickly stepped forward, and after asking about the situation, he immediately led Zheng Yanqing and others into it.

The so-called restaurant is actually a big house.

There is a pavilion in the front yard, with pavilions and towers on both sides, mostly used to entertain ordinary guests.

After passing through the middle hall, you will arrive at the backyard. It is like a garden, with flowing water and winding corridors. There are also formatted lanterns on both sides, and a giant candle on the top, which makes the entire backyard transparent.

The design of this candle is very similar to the torch of later generations.

It is said that the rockery has been hollowed out and is equipped with an oil cabinet. The fire candle is burning through the oil in the oil cabinet, and the tincture oil is endless and the fire candle is not extinguished. Almost every hour, a servant will add tincture oil to ensure that there is sufficient tincture oil in the oil cabinet.

Zheng Yanqing secretly exclaimed that the owner of this Shouyang Restaurant is really ingenious.

The backyard is divided into dozens of pavilions, which are specially designed for some luxury customers. Zheng Shi'an and others have arrived and are waiting outside the building. Yan Qing also knew that Zheng Shi'an was not waiting for himself, but for Sun Simiao's sake.

There are still an old and a young man around Zheng Shi'an.

The so-called elderly people are actually around forty years old, and they are very strong and have a good appearance.

"Mr. Sun, this one is my eldest son's friend, Xu Gai, a rich merchant in Lihu."

Zheng Shi'an stepped forward and saluted, and then introduced the wealthy merchant. Sun Simiao just nodded slightly and smiled, but didn't say anything.

This is called reserve!

Although Sun Simiao was kind to Zheng Yanqing, it was just a look. Ordinary people, even Zheng Shi'an, might not be pretending to be beautiful. Not to mention a rich merchant... Although Emperor Wen of Sui encouraged merchants, the status of merchants was still not high. To put it bluntly, Sun Simiao was able to come to the banquet today, but it was due to Zheng Yanqing's face. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come at all, let alone sitting with merchants and housekeepers, which would have deteriorated his identity.

"I have heard Mr. Sun's name for a long time. It is a great honor to see him today."

Xu Gai stepped forward and bowed happily, without any displeasure.

Behind Xu Gai, there was a boy about ten years old. He was wearing a white shirt, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looked very quiet.

"This is the son Shiji... Shiji, I haven't seen Mr. Sun yet."

"Mr. Sun, Xu Shiqi is polite!"

Zheng Yanqing followed Sun Simiao and stood with Du Ruhui. At first, he didn't pay attention to the boy, but when he heard Xu Gai's introduction, he was stunned at first, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart, and his eyes were condensed.

Is this young man Xu Shiqi?
