Asking hexagram 20 taels

(44)

As the twelfth lunar month enters, the flavor of the new year begins to intensify, and this village is filled with the joyful atmosphere of the new year.This morning, the snow that had accumulated all winter finally fell.

Tang Yuan leaned on the bed, with a heater tucked in his sleeve, tilted his head, and asked the snow-sweeping servant outside, "What day is it now?"

The servants outside are the confidantes of the Seven Kings. Back then, the Seven Kings were defeated like a mountain, and all the vassals were scattered. He was placed in this small village by the Seven Kings.The servant put down the broom in his hand, and replied respectfully: "Master Tang, it's the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. It's time now, do you want to get up?"

"I'm already up." Tang Yuan stood up and walked outside.The people in this village are very hospitable, and with the care of the seven kings, living here is more comfortable than in the suburbs of Beijing.He walked outside the yard, the snow reflected the sun, making people's eyes hurt, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The servant laughed twice and explained: "When it snows, you have to sweep it away quickly, otherwise the yard will be covered with snow water. Has Mr. Tang seen such a heavy snow?"

"Well," Tang Yuan nodded, "I've seen it."

The snow in Gubei City is not only so heavy, it is much bigger than this. The whole city is covered by snow, and the high walls are covered with thick snow. After melting, it freezes and hangs on it, shining brightly. Much brighter than glass mirrors.The wilderness outside Gubei City is also covered with snow, like a snow wasteland.

At that time, he liked to steal Yuan Xiao's horse and sneak out. Sometimes he stood on the city wall to watch the snow, but Yuan Xiao always caught him.

"Tangyuan?" Yuan Xiao's voice came from behind him.

Tang Yuan was so frightened by him that he was covered in white sweat, but Yuan Xiao's hand would stop him from turning his head, so he could only turn his back on him and say, "Are you coming to see the snow too?"

Yuan Xiao put his hands on his eyes, leaned close to him and said, "Don't look at the snow, if you look at the snow under the sun too much, you will be blind."

"I don't understand the customs, burn the piano and cook the crane."

"Why don't we compete with Blind Sword."

"Young Master?" The servant's voice woke him up, "Young Master, don't look at the snow after the sun is out. If you look at it too much, your eyes will go blind."

Tang Yuan blinked, there was a shadow in front of his eyes, he quickly closed his eyes, and when he recovered, he nodded to him with a smile, and asked him: "You don't need to sweep the yard here, leave it to me."

"This, how can this work? How can you let the guests sweep the yard?"

"It's okay, leave it to me."

The servant carried the broom and walked away muttering, Tang Yuan knew what he was thinking, it was nothing more than whether such a young master could sweep the yard or something like that.To be honest, Tang Yuanchang really didn't sweep the yard seriously at such an age, but he knew that there were some things that were more useful than brooms.

blind sword.As the name suggests, it is blindfolded and pretends to be a blind man dancing sword.

Tang Yuan folded a branch to make a sword, and took a piece of cloth to cover his eyes, so as to avoid the snow shining on his eyes.He stood in the middle of the yard, with the tip of the sword slanted downward, drew a semicircle, and made a Wudang swordsmanship.

Start with "Wind Up Qingping".Wind is born in the ground, started at the end of Qingping, grew up from a young age, and is the most infallible starting move.The slight sound of wind hovered upwards from the tip of the sword, rolled up the snowflakes on the ground, followed Tang Yuan's movements and flew around, and finally landed on the ground a few feet away with this movement.But this formula is not old, and the next formula has already begun.

"Morning rain and light dust" is the most light and agile move in Qingcheng's swordsmanship. Qingcheng is located in a place with much rain and fog. Like the rain, it fell on the ground, sweeping up the remaining snow on the ground.The next move, "Bright Moon River", was not supposed to be performed by him, it was a sword move of the splitting lightsaber, and it originally had an owner, but now that Yuan Xiao is not here, Tang Yuan naturally used it for him.

But Tang Yuan didn't just use the lightsaber. His right hand formed a palm, and with the palm as the boundary, he sent out his internal force and pushed it on the lightsaber.Tang Yuan's light-splitting sword is not very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that "you only have the shape but not the way", and the one in your hand is just a broken branch, not Yuan Xiao's elite soldier.So naturally he couldn't use a lightsaber with the same power as Yuan Xiao, but with the power of this palm, it was different.

Originally, Tang Yuan's internal strength was extremely deep and vast like the sea, even compared to Yuan Xiao who had practiced a few years more than him, the power of this palm was enough to make up for the difference in weapons, plus he was slightly weaker than Yuan Xiao. This trick "Bright Moon River" can be regarded as tangible and intentional.

Followed by "Falling Flower Palm", "Autumn Wind Strength" and "Wenhua Lotus Step", Tang Yuan reproduced the match between the two blind swordsmen on the city wall that day, each step was on a narrow path. On the way, it was the width of the wall of Gubei City in his impression.Can't step out of the city wall, and can't be worse than Yuan Xiao.

When the two of them finished their competition and took off the cloth strip, Yuan Xiao immediately approached Tang Yuan and covered his eyes with his hands. Tang Yuan himself learned to behave himself, put his hand on it, and said with a smile: "I know. , You can’t look at the snow too much, you will go blind if you look too much.”

"It's good that you know." Yuan Xiao nodded, "If you don't want to go back to the path of the blind man, then cover your eyes properly, and let's go back to the city."

"How can I go back if I block my eyes? You take me?"

"Then I'll take you." Yuan Xiao said, circling his thumb and index finger, stuffing them in his mouth and whistling, and then Dahei tactfully ran down the city wall, wagging his tail.

"Tighten your hands, I'll take you flying." Yuan Xiao moved closer to Tang Yuan, took advantage of his unpreparedness, bent his legs to pick up Tang Yuan, then ran two quick steps, and stepped on the edge of the city wall without mentioning anything. Using internal strength, without using any light work, he slid down against the ice hanging on the city wall with his back.

Tang Yuan often uses lightness kung fu, he experiences things like flying every day, and he doesn't need others to teach him.When practicing Qinggong, let alone city walls, he even jumps over Buddhist pagodas, but that is also a self-jumping. Even if you don’t know any Qinggong, you can freely master the balance.This is the first time being hugged and jumped.

It's completely different from using lightness kung fu by yourself. With your eyes covered, you can't perceive the outside world in time. You can only hear the sound of the wind whistling, and the sound of Yuan Xiao's iron armor slipping on the ice.In such a cold place, no matter if it is human skin or anything, it will be stuck as long as it is covered with ice, but Yuan Xiao falls very fast, and he has already fallen before being stuck. It makes a sharp friction sound, which is very harsh, but it makes people feel at ease.

Landing not far from the ground, Yuan Xiao slammed his feet on the ice surface of the wall and jumped with his strength. The corner of his clothes made a loud noise in the wind, and he used it just in time before the two of them landed on Dahei's back. With a move of "Fengdu Shui", it landed lightly on the horse's back.

At this time, Tang Yuan withdrew his hand and looked up at the place where he jumped down just now. After passing by two people, they had a fight, not to mention the snow on the city wall, even the ice was peeled off. "Don't tell me, we can use this method to clear the snow if there is nothing to do in the snow."

Yuan Xiao hugged him with one hand and the rein with the other, and replied: "Yes, we don't need to send someone to sweep the snow, we can do it ourselves."

"I'll try it when I get back. I'm sure I can finish it before Mom and Dad get up."

"Hahaha, do you know what time Uncle Tang gets up to go to court?"

Tang Yuan didn't know about this, but, "I don't think it's too early, Chen Shi?"

"It's you at Chenshi. Most officials in the court got their posts at Maoshi, otherwise they wouldn't be able to keep up with Dianmao."

"That's a bit early..."

Tang Yuan reached out and took off the cloth strips from his eyes, and walked back into the house with his eyes closed before he dared to open them. The branches in his hand had already exploded due to his internal force.But the snow outside the window was swept away, and piled up in a pile under the wall, and the middle of the yard was clean, much cleaner than the servants had done just now.No matter how clean the broom is, it is not as clean as the wind.

The servants were startled when they walked in, wondering when has this yard been so clean.Holding something in his hand, he hurried across the yard, and stood still under the eaves.

Tang Yuan asked him: "What are you?"

"This one, it's a lantern." The servant picked up what was in his hand, and it suddenly bounced off his hand. It was a red paper lantern. "Have you seen Young Master Tang?"

"I've seen lanterns before, but nothing like this." Tang Yuan replied honestly.The lanterns he usually saw were all hung under the eaves of the Tang Mansion, they were all made of red cloth, and they were very large. At other times, there were no lanterns hanging or he couldn't see them.This paper lantern can pop open with a "swish", but I have never seen it before.

"This one is a special product of our Chengde, the red paper lantern." The servant pointed to the lantern, "Actually, it is a special product of our village. There is not so much red cloth, and it is too big and takes up space, so we made it like this. Fold the paper and put it away. Hold up this shelf when you need it.” He showed the red lantern to Tang Yuan, and Tang Yuan saw that there was a circle of red copper around the side of the paper lantern that bounced off, and hanging on the side. With four hooks, hang two pieces of iron on the hooks, and candles can be placed in the middle.

Tang Yuan tried to place it, and found that the candle could be stuck firmly, hanging under the eaves, it was bright red and very festive, not much worse than the big lanterns in the Tang Mansion. "You really have a way."

"How can we have a way? It was taught to us by the Seventh Prince."

"Will the Seventh King do this?" Tang Yuan thought that the Seventh King had always been the pride of heaven, but he didn't expect to have experienced so much.

"The Seven Kings can do anything." The servant showed a proud look on his face, "We just believe in the Seven Kings. ——Oh, by the way, the messenger from the Seven Kings is here, young master, go and have a look."

Tang Yuan nodded, agreed, then walked slowly along the path he had swept out, and bumped into the messenger who came to report the letter as soon as he opened the door.The courier was out of breath, leaning on his knees and gasping for breath, he handed a letter to Tang Yuan: "Tang, Young Master Tang, report urgently at the border!"
