Chapter 520 The Troubles of Genius
Chapter 520 The Troubles of Genius
If you invite someone to your house in the afternoon, you naturally have to invite them to dinner.
Basic etiquette.
Therefore, Liang Qu specially asked Aunt Zhang to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain the master and his apprentice.
The aroma is so fragrant that it really makes you salivate.
Among many dishes, Guan Congjian particularly likes boiled pork slices.
I don't know how the cook did it.
The red oil is shiny, the meat slices are tender, there is a thin layer of chopped chili on the surface, and the cabbage underneath is delicious and spicy.
Eat it with rice, it’s very appetizing!
It’s not satisfying to eat with a rice bowl, so after eating two bowls, I directly changed to a thick white porcelain bowl for soup!
All issues of seniority are thrown out of the window.
It’s just right to have a mentor.
Come often in the future. Can the elders drive the younger ones away?
Let Lichan come to learn the skills some other day and take them back with her.
Guan Congjian ate with great enthusiasm, sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Although Helian Nianci looks rough, he is not as relaxed as his apprentice. He opens and closes his chopsticks, looks intently, and only picks up a few dishes in front of him.
It was a dinner that was so uncomfortable and so valuable that it was a bit scary.
Needless to say, the old monk was both unexpected and reasonable.
Helian Nianci is a great martial artist who is good at hunting tigers. He is definitely not a weak person among the people in the Hanging Temple and has a high seniority.
Among the lay disciples, only he is called senior brother, and rarely is anyone called junior brother.
I thought Liang Qu was at most my peer, and we should address each other as brothers.
Who would have thought that when he arrived at the door to pay his respects, it turned out to be the Grand Master of Heaven and Earth, Vajra King, who was in person!
I have to call Liang Qu Uncle Master!
Vajra King's situation is special. He does not stay at the mountain gate all year round, and very few people have seen him in person.
If Helian Nianci had not had a good memory and had not carefully observed the portrait of his master in the temple before going down the mountain, he might not have been able to recognize it.
In addition, there are many differences between the image of Vajra King and that in the portraits.
Old and thin.
His complexion is far from as good as in the portrait, and he seems to be injured.
Helian Nianci would definitely not be able to relax in front of the famous master.
and……
He secretly glanced at the old man with white hair and beard sitting at the upper right seat of the long table.
Isn't this the governor of the Hebo River, Grandmaster Su Guishan...
Why don’t we come to Liang’s house for dinner together?
Look at the familiar way of serving rice, it is definitely not the first time!
One table, two masters.
At this moment, Helian Nianci really wanted to be born with a big heart like his disciple.
"Master, eat. There are so many dishes and they are very delicious." Guan Congjian kept eating with his chopsticks.
"Good good."
"Your bowl is empty, are you only going to eat vegetables? Should I serve you some rice?"
"No, no, I will do it myself. I will do it myself."
Helian Nianci waved her hands repeatedly and hugged the rice bucket handed to her by Guan Congjian.
Eat the second half.
Many people did not leave out of courtesy.
Guan Congjian looked around and asked around to make sure that no one wanted to eat anymore. He then poured all the leftovers into his own bowl and finished them all.
Helian Nianci suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to say something to make amends for his apprentice.
"That's fine." Su Guishan raised his hand to interrupt, and said with a smile, "Being able to eat is a blessing. It's better for young people to eat more. Their strength will increase quickly, and they will have more energy for cultivation. I am also very satisfied with the dishes that Liang has researched."
"Lord Su, please sit under the sky." Helian Nianci said respectfully.
"Are you a lay disciple of the Hanging Temple?"
"Lord Su has a keen eye."
"How many levels did you pass to get down the mountain?"
"The Wooden Man Alley and the Bronze Man Formation are two gates." Helian Nianci said, "So I can pass on the Dharma to my disciples. This year or next year, I plan to let Congjian go to the Hanging Temple and follow him to try it out and continue to pass on the Dharma."
"Continue the teachings?" Liang Qu was puzzled.
"A lay disciple can only pass on the Dharma to one generation." Helian Nianci replied, "If you want to pass it on to your grandchildren, you need to go through two levels yourself and practice in the mountains for three months. Usually, once you enter the wolf smoke, you can try to pass the levels."
Liang Qu understood.
The Hanging Temple is a means to foster affection and prevent the indiscriminate spread of martial arts.
You can pass it on if you want.
Come back first and leave some roots to prevent emotional estrangement.
"The Hanging Temple is in Datong Prefecture, right? Is it far from Huangzhou?"
"Huangzhou is not too far to the north." "If Congjian goes this year, we can go the same way."
Helian Nianci was startled: "What do you mean?"
Liang Qu briefly recounted what had happened: "If you are interested, we can go together so that we can look after each other."
When you go out, it is always a good thing to have someone you know to accompany you.
What's more, the journey from Pingyang Prefecture to Huangzhou is long, and there are two top martial artists traveling together. Who would be so blind as to dare to provoke them?
Helian Nianci seemed to be thinking about something: "Let me go back and think about it."
Finished eating.
Eat two pieces of melon.
The master and the disciple said goodbye and left.
Liang Qu took the opportunity to see him off.
Cross the threshold.
"Master Helian."
"I don't dare to be a master." Helian Nianci interrupted immediately, "Master uncle, is there something wrong?"
"There are some things I want to ask."
"Uncle Master, please ask."
Liang Qu didn't worry too much about the name.
If you clean the well three times, you will get sweet water; if you train as a third-level martial artist, you will have high martial arts skills.
Now he indeed has one master and two masters.
The old monk taught him the Dragon and Tiger Golden Body, and it was not necessarily that he was unwilling to acknowledge his identity as a teacher.
"I want to ask about the master's past deeds. I have never been to the Hanging Temple, and it would be awkward to ask an elder in person. Today is a rare opportunity, so I'll take this opportunity to ask... my nephew."
"It's okay." Helian Nianci didn't think there was anything wrong. It was human nature. "But I don't know much either."
Liang Qu took a half step aside and gestured for him to speak.
Guan Congjian leaned forward, full of curiosity about his master's master.
"I don't know the master's real name, nor his Dharma name. I only know some of his past experiences from the words of the elders in the sect. For example, the master was a juren in the previous dynasty. When the world was in turmoil, he entered Louguantai to practice and became a Taoist priest. Later, he entered the Hanging Temple."
Liang Qu felt a little confused.
"After entering Louguan Terrace, can we enter the Hanging Temple?"
Will Louguantai be released?
Will the Hanging Temple accept it?
"It happened several decades ago, I don't understand the specific reason." Helian Nianci said frankly, "I heard that he made a Taoist vow when he came down the mountain, promising that the sect's unique skills would never be passed on to others.
I have also heard that he was practicing at Louguantai, but he did not go too deep into the practice. He was just an outer sect disciple, so there was no problem with his transfer."
Liang Qu nodded secretly.
Speaking of which, the master does have a good relationship with Louguantai.
When I first came to Huaiyin Prefecture, I asked the Taoist priest from Louguantai to help me with the calculations.
The master has the best of both worlds.
"And then?"
"Afterwards, I only knew that the master traveled abroad all year round and occasionally returned to the temple for study. The Hanging Temple never restricted him, and on the wall of ancestors, the master was ranked quite high, with the nickname of Vajra King, and he was extremely powerful.
Especially the practice of the Golden Body, which is said to have been innovated. When my master introduced it, he praised it highly, often saying that Vajra King has the opportunity to become a Martial Saint. "
There is a chance to become a Martial Saint...
When Liang Qu heard this, his eyes flickered and he understood the old monk's situation.
The strong always have more privileges.
Not to mention the strong, there are also many privileges for geniuses that have not yet been realized.
Throughout history, when you encounter a rising genius, what is the first step?
Catching a son-in-law from the list!
Get it to your own home first and then the rice will be done!
Even the top scholar in liberal arts is like this, let alone the martial arts genius, marriage, taking in disciples, and becoming godparents...
First, unite the talents around yourself, have them join your group, build relationships with factions, and strengthen your own power.
Once they are trained up, attack the hostile forces fiercely, and after they are eliminated you can get a bigger piece of the pie.
If there are any requests during this period, they are not excessive and we will try our best to meet them.
The old monk really has the opportunity to become a martial saint. If Liang Qu were the Taoist priest of Louguantai and the abbot of Hanging Temple, he would definitely have to act according to his circumstances and handle special matters.
The master has very rich experience.
Watching Master Helian and his disciples leave in a carriage, Liang Qu stood under the eaves, his thoughts drifting.
But then I thought again.
I am no less capable than you.
He was personally taught by Yang Dongxiong, a registered disciple of the founder of the Hanging Temple, a registered disciple of the King of Yue, and a worker under the grandson of Duke Xu.
The troubles of a genius.
Hey.
understand.
