Taiping Medical Center has always been independent of the world. No matter how many vendors come and go on Anxi Street, spring passes, autumn comes, winter solstice and summer solstice, the medical center is always here, which makes people feel at ease.

But Taiping Medical Center suddenly became lively.

The prince and the princess climbed over the wall, and Liang Dog and Liang Maoer stayed here. Laughter, stove fire, and an endless stream of people from all walks of life...

Chen Ji stood outside the door and looked at Old Yao with a complicated expression: "Master, are you asking him to teach me sword skills?"

Old man Yao stood outside the door with his hands behind his back and said, neither salty nor coldly: "The Liang family's swordsmanship is the best in Yuzhou. There are many skilled people in this world, but few seekers, so study hard."

Chen Ji was curious: "What is the difference between technique and Tao?"

Old Man Yao answered slowly: "Tao is the direction of nothingness, and skill is the path under your feet. Remember, if you control skill with Tao, skill will succeed; if you control Tao with skill, skill will decline."

"Then you still want me to learn sword skills first?"

"Learn first how to transfer from sword skills to sword art. This is the secret of the Liang family. But now that the Liang family has no heirs, this skill may be lost soon. If Liang Gouer has a whim, it will be passed on to him.

You are here... By the way, you have made a lot of money recently, so you have to pay for the food expenses of the Liang family."

Chen Ji became wary: "Are you still thinking about my three melons and two dates?"

Old Man Yao: "I miss you."

Chen Ji: "..."

At this time, Liang Maoer's voice sounded in the backyard: "Excuse me...where should we sleep?"

Chen Ji hurriedly walked in: "Let's sleep in the apprentice's dormitory. Our bunk bed is big enough for five people."

Liang Maoer hurriedly said: "No, no, it's a bit crowded for five people to sleep in this bunk. My brother can sleep here, and I'll sleep in the kitchen."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt to squeeze in a little. It's going to be winter soon, and the kitchen can freeze to death."

"All right……"

Liang Gou'er was already fast asleep. Liang Mao'er gently put him on the bed and took off his shoes and socks.

However, after Liang Maoer did all this, she did not sleep. She just turned to look at Chen Ji and said cautiously: "Well... I can help with the work, cleaning, cooking and laundry. I'm not afraid of getting tired."

Before Chen Ji could answer, Liang Maoer actually took the wooden basin, took away the dirty clothes and dirty socks from the apprentice's dormitory, went to the kitchen to get some plant ashes from under the stove, squatted in the yard, scooped up a few ladles of water and scrubbed them.

He got up, as if he was afraid that the medical clinic would regret it and not want to take the two brothers in again.

Plant ash and soap locust are natural detergents in this era. People who have the conditions will also add some mint, skullcap, and lotus leaves and rub them together. After washing, the clothes will have a light aroma.

Liang Mao'er was fat and it was a bit difficult to squat on the ground. Chen Ji thought for a moment and brought him a small chair: "Sit down and wash."

Liang Maoer raised his head and smiled: "Thank you...I'm sorry for causing trouble to you guys."

Chen Ji looked at the other person. Without Liang Gou'er by his side, Liang Mao'er didn't look like a figure in the world at all, but more like a down-to-earth waiter in a restaurant.

"Don't you have any money at all?" Chen Ji was confused.

"Actually, I saved some secretly, but I can't let my brother know," Liang Maoer said with a simple smile: "I plan to save enough money to buy a few acres of land in the countryside of Luocheng, so that even if my brother doesn't work for a wealthy family,

We can both survive."

"That's not enough money for your brother's drinks."

"Let's talk about it then..."

When Liang Maoer finished washing all the clothes accumulated by Liu Quxing and She Dengke, his stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound.

Liang Maoer looked embarrassed: "Um...is there anything to eat in the hospital? Anything is fine, I'm not picky about food."

Chen Ji brought Liang Maoer a large pot of corn grits porridge left over from last night, a plate of pickles, and four grain pancakes.

But he saw Liang Maoer finishing the meal in one go, wiping his mouth, and looking at him silently.

Chen Ji took a deep breath and took out four more grain pancakes and a plate of pickles...

After Liang Maoer finished eating, Chen Ji said quietly: "Your brother has to teach me the sword skills quickly."

"Ah? Are you in such a hurry?" Liang Maoer was startled.

Chen Ji said seriously: "If your brother doesn't teach you, I'm afraid I will regret it..."

Liang Maoer quickly asked: "Have you ever practiced swordsmanship before?"

"I haven't practiced."

Liang Maoer thought for a while: "Then let me teach you first. I know the basic knife skills."

As he spoke, he waved his fat body twice: "When my father taught my brother how to practice swordsmanship, he also asked me to follow him, but I am not talented enough to learn it."

Chen Ji looked at Liang Maoer's lame behavior, raised his eyebrows and changed the subject: "Has your brother been like this before?"

"That's not the case," Liang Mao'er said quickly: "My brother didn't drink before, and he didn't go to places like that with fireworks. At that time, my brother was the best swordsman in Yuzhou. He killed three people with one sword.

He is a bandit in the mountains, and when people from all corners of the country come to Luo City, they have to go to him first to worship him at the dock."

Liang Maoer's eyes were full of memories and fascination when she talked about her brother's past scenery.

Chen Ji asked curiously: "What happened next?"

Liang Maoer's tone became lowered: "Then my sister-in-law showed up. She was beautiful and gentle. She was very kind to my brother and to me. When my sister-in-law saw my brother practicing swordsmanship, she pestered him to learn swordsmanship.

But after learning, she disappeared. From then on, my brother stopped practicing swordsmanship and fell in love with drinking."

The Liang family's swordsmanship is not to be passed on to others. This is not only the ancestral teaching of the Liang family, but also the Liang family clearly knows the secret of practice and cannot practice together.

However, Liang Gouer passed on his sword skills to outsiders, but ended up like this.

Chen Ji asked curiously: "Has your sister-in-law never appeared again?"

Liang Maoer thought for a while: "My brother said that she might have returned to Jingchao in the north..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Liang Gouer drunkenly holding on to the doorframe and angrily saying, "I told you not to mention this matter again!"

Liang Mao'er shrank her neck: "I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore."

Liang Gouer looked sideways at Chen Ji: "You really want to learn swordsmanship?"

"I think so," Chen Ji said sincerely.

"Then let me ask you, what do you want to learn swordsmanship for?" Liang Gouer asked again.

"Self-preservation."

Liang Gou'er burst out laughing: "Then you shouldn't learn swordsmanship! The skill of swordsmanship is great. Those who learn swordsmanship must first have the confidence to split mountains, instead of talking about self-protection. When you want to protect yourself,

You have already given up your sword!"

Chen Ji thought for a while: "Then what should I learn?"

Liang Gou'er threw his sword to Chen Ji and pointed to the kitchen: "Bring a piece of firewood and chop it down with the knife and I will know what you should learn."

Chen Ji went to fetch a piece of firewood and stood it in the courtyard. He drew his knife and slashed it along the cracked lines of the wood.

The long knife got stuck on the surface of the firewood. It was only then that he discovered that Liang Gouer's knife was actually unedged!

How is it possible? An unedged knife can split Lin Chaoqing's bamboo hat in the air?

He looked at Liang Gouer: "Why is this knife not sharpened?"

Liang Gouer said carelessly: "Because it's not necessary."

Chen Ji didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. Liang Gouer chose the most pretentious answer between the 'most serious' and 'least serious' answers.

At this time, Liu Quxing and She Dengke were also awakened. They stood on the door frame and peeked out.

But I saw Liang Gou'er carefully looking at the old split marks, not knowing what he was looking at.

He took the long knife from Chen Ji's hand without saying a word, and with a wave of his hand, the firewood standing in the yard was cut into two, with a smooth cut surface.

Liang Gouer turned to look at Chen Ji: "The sword is domineering, and the swordsmanship of my Liang family is not to dodge. No matter if you have any flaws, I will cut through you with one strike. You will be covered with flaws. The knife will not be in your hand."

It's like a sword, but it's more like a sword that picks out flaws and takes an eccentric approach, so you shouldn't practice swordsmanship, you have to find someone to learn swordsmanship."

"Does character determine one's path?" Chen Ji thought thoughtfully.

"The heart and the mind are in harmony. If the path you take is not in line with your heart, you will not go far," Liang Gouer explained.

On the side, Liang Maoer was confused: "Brother, you said before that the sword is the king's way, and it is very similar to our swordsmanship."

Liang Gou'er looked at Chen Ji and said meaningfully: "The sword I'm talking about is not the long sword on the waist, but the type of sword in Jingchao Martial Temple. So you shouldn't learn swords from me, you should go to Jingchao Martial Temple to learn swords."

.”

Chen Ji was startled for a moment.

He was once brought to that ancient battlefield by ice currents, and people on that battlefield once asked him: Who stole my sword seed?

Is the sword type mentioned by the other party related to the sword type of Jingchao Martial Temple?

Chen Ji asked: "Can I only go to Jingchao Martial Temple to learn?"

Liang Gouer thought for a while: "There should be people in Ning Chao who are cultivating, but the last time the other party took action was more than ten years ago, and everyone who saw him take action was also dead."

Chen Ji fell into deep thought.

If you really have to go to the Jingchao Martial Temple to cultivate, then do you have to make a great contribution to the Ningchao, be promoted step by step, and eventually be transferred back to the Jingchao?

But how long will it take?

Liang Gou'er looked at him and said, "Stop practicing sword practice. Practicing sword practice now will only make you crooked. It will not be easy to correct yourself in the future."

Liang Maoer whispered: "Brother, if he doesn't practice, where will we live? What will we eat..."

Liang Gouer immediately changed his mind: "You can practice stances first and then practice steps! As the saying goes, teach boxing not steps, teach steps to beat the master! Footwork is the foundation for the whole body to exert force. If you don't practice steps, you can only use fists.

How strong can one arm be? When practicing steps, the strength should be from the legs to the hips, from the hips to the waist, from the waist to the arms. In this way, the whole body's strength can be concentrated at one point, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting at the door of the medical center: "Chen Ji, Chen Ji!"

She Dengke looked suddenly, and Chen Jize frowned. They both recognized that it was Chunhua's voice.

She Dengke hesitated again and again, but finally did not step out of the room. Chen Ji came to the door of the medical center and asked out of curiosity: "Miss Chunhua, is something wrong?"

Chunhua's eyes were still swollen from crying. She took out an invitation and whispered: "My wife invites everyone in the hospital to attend the afternoon cultural gathering at the palace. She said she has something important to discuss with you in detail."

Chen Ji opened the red invitation and wrote: I would like to prepare a banquet on the evening of September 10th. I would like to invite the literati from Luo City. The money will be generous. Fortunately, he was too late to show up.

————Zhu Yunxi, Prince Jing’s Mansion.

The cultural gathering was organized by the crown prince, and Concubine Jing wanted to use this cultural gathering to discuss the Liu family's affairs with her in detail?

Chunhua looked at Chen Ji eagerly and gently opened his sleeves, only to see that they were covered with whip marks from canes.

Chen Ji shook his head: "Miss Chunhua, it's useless to show me this. If I don't want to go, even if you get whipped again, it has nothing to do with me."

Chunhua was anxious.

But Chen Ji changed the topic: "But tell Concubine Jing that I will go."
