Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also a big day for the Tang family. The Tang family has seven sons, Tang Guan is the youngest and is still at home. The other six sons are all officials in various places and only come back to visit their relatives during the Chinese New Year.

A few of them had met Sun, and knew that Tang Jian Xuxian had married a wife, but some had never met Sun. Moreover, there were many people during the Chinese New Year, and relatives who were not close to each other would come to the door. Li Mu was worried that Sun would be looked down upon, so he came again just to pretend to be a scene for Sun. After all, he is also a person in the court now. Even if someone complains in his heart, he would never dare to show it in front of him. For Sun, he broke through the wall of Dali Temple and killed people in anger. It is still circulating in the public. Who would dare to provoke him if he doesn't want to die?

Fortunately, there were not so ignorant people in the Tang family. Li Mu had a meal with expressionless face, mostly holding him, and didn't hear harsh words. There were not many people talking to him during the meal, probably because his status was too different, so he didn't know what to say.

Li Mu was also happy and looked at Sun's red face, and he was also happy for her.

This is actually a woman with a rough fate. Her family has died tragically due to years of wars on the border. She married a military man and died in the war. Her only son was picked up by her, helpless and dared not confess.

Now that he has married Tang Jian, fortunately, this old guy is considered a gentleman, and Li Mu is now at the top of his head and has some hope. After suffering for more than 30 years, he finally lived a good life.

Since he knew that Sun was not his "real mother", Li Mu's relationship with Sun has undergone very complex changes. Many of the reasons are not because of Sun, but because of his own pessimism. He longs for a complete family. However, he is a human being for two lives and cannot achieve this small wish, so he now attaches great importance to his family and does not want his children to repeat the same mistakes.

Leaving from the Duke of Ju State, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien were afraid to speak when they saw that Li Mu's face was not very good. Li Mu leaned in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, hugged her tightly, and said nothing, and returned home all the time.

When he got off the carriage, he returned to his usual high spirits and asked Wang Ou to come and have a hot pot together. But Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien knew that their husband had a pain in his heart, but he didn't want to say it.

...

During the Chinese New Year, Li Mu gave himself three days off. From the first to the third day of the lunar calendar, he was not idle either. He had been dealing with polo games and ring matters. On the second day of the lunar calendar, he also sent New Year gift packs, food and use, and prepared a piece for each child. But he did not show up, but just asked Ergou to go there because he didn't want to give a schoolbag like the kind-hearted person he met in his previous life, take thirty photos, and get in the car and leave. Although this is also charity, it is not a good experience for the children.

The Cheng family has already gained some experience in running the horse farm. The polo competition was developed based on the horse farm. The rules have been set, and there are no major mistakes in other business aspects. What Li Mu can do is to remind him in detail, but in fact it will not play much role.

However, in this ring match, Li Mu discovered many problems after watching it.

In Dugu Jiu's head, the biggest function of the ring match is to find him an opponent. The second function is to recruit people for the Jinyiwei. He will not want to find a ring match if anyone can see it. As long as he can decide a winner to compete with him, he will be very happy. But Li Mu has developed an inertial thinking. If he does something and no one pays attention to it, he will be very uncomfortable. If this matter is not profitable, it will be uncomfortable and uncomfortable, so the situation must be changed.

So early in the second day of the lunar month, Li Mu brought Tang Guan to the ring. He first asked the party of the martial arts people participating in this competition and learned something that surprised him very much. When Li Mu asked what kind of sect he came from, many people were confused, which made Li Mu confused. After asking carefully, he realized that there was no such thing as a sect in this era. This was very different from the information he collected when he participated in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty".

This made Li Mu very interested. After pulling Dugu Jiu to study it, he finally figured out this matter thoroughly.

It turns out that in the early Tang Dynasty, people who practice martial arts were divided by "thoughts" rather than by sects. This has a direct relationship with the birth of martial arts. The essence of martial arts is the development of one's own potential. People's understanding of one's own self is ignorant. This development process requires a certain amount of imagination. Just like the operation of internal strength, no one knows which acupoint starts from which learning to which ends is the maximum benefit, and can only try it, and how to test it is determined by thoughts.

The historical evolution of China and the period when ideas burst out was an era of "a hundred flowers contending". The "sects" of this period, such as Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, military strategists, etc., all had their own martial artists. Their skills were all experimental based on the ideas they firmly believed in, and this was also the prototype of the original sect.

After all schools of thought were abolished and Confucianism alone, each school declined. Such sects also disappeared from the long river of history. With the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth. On the land of China, a sect distinction between sects with the idea of ​​"Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" as the prototype.

But this distinction is only in terms of thought. The general idea is that your kung fu is imagined based on which kind of thought.

For example, the "Taixuan Sutra" given to Li Mu by Sun Simiao is a typical Taoist martial art.

The treasure of Shaolin Temple, which originated from the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourished at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the "Mystery Washing Sutra" and "Yi Jin Jing" left by Master Bodhidharma, are typical martial arts founded with Buddhist thought.

Although these skills were different when they were founded, their roots were all methods to develop the potential of the human body. Different paths and the same result were all the same.

During this period, few people taught martial arts in the beginning. Most of them were the father who passed on his son, or like Sun Simiao's "Taixuan Sutra" to Li Mu, looking for someone with a destiny. Why did this be done? First, it was because of the treasures of the creators who thought of these martial arts. They might be suitable for themselves, but they may not be widely applicable, and they can't teach others. Therefore, there are still few masters in the world who have masters from the same school.

Shaolin Temple is not famous now, because Shaolin's martial arts are extensive, but because they are too extensive, their power is very average. After practicing, they are no longer much higher than the lieutenant in the army. The real high-end martial arts of Shaolin are controlled by the "Thirty-six Shaolin Rooms". Each of these thirty-six rooms has its own unique skills and will not be easily taught. There are constant disputes between each room, which is still very different from the Shaolin Temple in the TV series that Li Mu watched later.

Therefore, there are very few sects in the world, and everyone is a wild path, so when Li Mu asked which sect he came from, everyone was a little confused.

This won't work!

Li Mu found out the problem and was a little worried. He still remembered that when he was addicted to martial arts novels in his teenage years, one of the most attractive points was that before the two masters fought, they would report their families.

"When Ximen Chuxue is down, the sword is three feet and three points long" sounds so handsome.

Something has to be changed.

On the evening of the second day of the lunar month, after the day's competition, Li Mu called Dugu Jiu and Tang Guan, as well as the masters who were going to compete the next day, to the side.

"What's your name? Where is your hometown?"

"In Xia Yueping, his ancestral home is Shuzhou."

"Are there any famous mountains and rivers nearby?"

“Yes, there is a Qingcheng Mountain.”

"Very good, remember, you are from Qingcheng Sect. Don't forget to report yourself when you come on stage tomorrow."

Yue Ping was stunned and said, "Mr. Marquis, there is nothing on Qingcheng Mountain, you can only catch firewood. Isn't this a lie?"

"This is for hype. You don't understand it even after you say it. Just say that. In addition, you have never done anything commendable until now?"

Yue Ping thought for a while and said, "In order to grab the water source, he had a fight with the neighboring village. After learning for several years, he defeated them by one and defeating them."

Li Mu nodded and said to Tang Guan next to him: "Written that Yue Ping of Qingcheng sent to the Qingcheng sect to stand up for the neighbours because the evil bandits occupied the water source, and each person and sword broke into the bandit camp alone. He fought more than 30 bandits and returned with great victory."

Tang Guan wrote it on the paper, making Yue Ping blush with shame, and said repeatedly: "Mr. Marquis must not be able to do that. He has not put in that effort. He is also relying on the fact that he has weapons in his hands and his opponent has no weapons. If he fights alone, he can fight against two people even if he has too many, he really dares to take action on the bandit camp alone, and he can't do it!"

"Is it necessary for you to do it? I'm trying to sell tickets! Don't talk nonsense, just memorize it, don't ask anyone if you're exposed, next one!"

"Why don't you have hair?"

"If you go back to the Marquis, I have never grown hair since I was a child."

"Don't grow hair... OK, you are from Shaolin. Remember you are a disciple of Shaolin layman. Your master once helped the Tang Dynasty rebel army defeat Wang Shichong."

"But I don't know who is Wang Shichong?"

"You don't need to know each other!"

Li Mu taught Tang Guan step by step arbitrarily. Tang Guan is worthy of being the first favorite of Li Mu. He mastered the tricks in a short while.

Some people who studied for a few days were named Deadly Scholars by him. Some people who used a big sword were named Divine Sword Invincible. Just by listening to the name, the masters here all took one as one for hundreds. I don’t know whether they are powerful or not. I don’t know whether the gimmick is enough.

Seeing Dugu Jiu not making a sound next to him, Li Mu thought he was unhappy and came over and asked, "Why, are you dissatisfied with your brother's arrangement?"

Dugu Jiu shook his head and said, "Brother, I'm thinking, which sect I should be from. I have many teachers, and I don't know which sect I should be from."
