I already had a guilty conscience, and after being scolded I became more and more nervous. I no longer dared to be distracted and took a peek, I concentrated on writing quickly, and after a stick of incense, I finally recited the formula of Hunyuan Sheng Gong silently.

Zhang Mo arranged the written papers in order and handed them over, "The method of practicing qi is not trivial. The difference between one word and one word can be thousands of miles. Please read it carefully again and make sure you don't miss a single word."

Taking the paper with the formula and reading it word by word, Yu Qingzong already had a copy of the Qi training method in his hand. After getting another copy, he would definitely compare the two copies. It was not that he was worried that he would hide something.

, but this matter is of great importance, and Yuqingzong must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

After reading it carefully, he handed the stack of papers to Zhang Mo, "I read it carefully, it's word for word." ??

Zhang Mo took the paper and folded it carefully, "They are all waiting for me. I will leave now. You should rest early."

"Oh." He responded casually.

"Yuqingzong is arrogant and has little contact with us. This time he took the initiative to show his kindness, which is really beyond our expectations." Zhang Mo was in a good mood.

Still feeling a little guilty, he asked anxiously, "Uncle Master, what did Yu Qingzong say?"

"Xing Yunzi from Liangyi Mountain took the initiative to find us. He only said that the Three Pure Ones were from the same clan and would be willing to help tomorrow," Zhang Mo said. "My eldest brother didn't expect that they would take the initiative to show their kindness. He guessed that they were probably targeting the gangsters."

Those who have mastered Yuan Shen Gong will offer to let you write down the formula silently and give it to them as a thank you, so Xing Yunzi and others will naturally be happy."

"Oh, it turns out they didn't take the initiative to ask for it." I admired Xing Yunzi's mind.

"No, it was my eldest brother who took the initiative to return the Hunyuan Divine Art to them." Zhang Mo put away the scroll and turned around, "The Yuqing Sect condescended to show kindness and gave our Shangqing Sect enough face. The Shangqing Sect should take responsibility for it."

Returning favor. Previously, there were many estrangements between Shangqing Sect and Yuqing Sect, which caused Taiqing Sect to be divided into two. Some sects had good relations with Yuqing Sect, and some sects had close friendship with Shangqing. After what happened tonight, all the three Qing sects

It is indeed the blessing of the Three Pure Ones and Taoism that Zongzong has finally put aside the past grudges and shared the same moral principles and aspirations."

Hearing what Zhang Mo said, he was in a good mood and smiled. This risky move tonight was considered the right one. He was the first to express his sincerity. Yu Qingzong was moved and reciprocated the favor and took the initiative to see Zhang Shan. And Zhang Shan learned that

After being moved by the other party's intention, he took the initiative to return the Hunyuan Divine Art without waiting for the other party's request. This move also allowed the Yuqing Sect to see the sincerity of the Shangqing Sect. In this way, the various sects of the Three Qing Dynasties completely turned their hostility into friendship and became allies.

A peaceful meeting.

The main reason why this situation occurred is because the people in charge of Yuqing Sect and Shangqing Sect had the heart to repay kindness and be lenient and tolerant, and what he did was nothing more than pushing the boat along and breaking the deadlock.

He also concluded a truth about this matter, that is, if you want others to give you face, you must first give others face.

It was still snowing outside at this time, so I walked beside Zhang Mo and walked with her to the door.

Zhang Mo said, "My eldest brother originally wanted to come here in person, because the Hunyuan Divine Art belongs to you. Even though you are a Taoist from Longhu Mountain, we can't exchange your things for favors, but after careful consideration, I decided to come.

Big brother knows that you listen to me, so if he comes, you won’t necessarily betray him."

Happy smile.

"Although my eldest brother has a bad temper, he has a keen eye and understands human feelings," Zhang Mo said. "He also specifically asked me to tell you not to participate in tomorrow's competition, let alone play. You are now an official of the imperial court.

If you fight on behalf of Longhu Mountain, some people will be dissatisfied."

"Okay." Nodding, he naturally knew who the "some people" Zhang Mo meant.

While they were talking, they came to the door. When they saw him coming, the government servant outside the door hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you can go back." Zhang Mo walked down the steps.

He waved to the government officials and quickly followed Zhang Mo, heading east with her, "Uncle Master, will you play tomorrow?"

"That's natural," Zhang Mo nodded, "Longhushan is the champion, my eldest brother will stay at the end, and I will be the first to play tomorrow."

"Do we have any chance of winning tomorrow?" asked.

"The Salt Gang will be with us, and with the help of the Yuqing Sect, it should be no problem to have one main challenger," Zhang Mo said, changing the subject, "But it's hard to say, Shaolin Temple, Prajna Temple, Daji Temple, they must be together

Yes. Situ Yanggang, who you killed during the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, was a member of the Eunuch Party. The four major villas will naturally obey the orders of the Eunuch Party. The Beggar Clan has taken refuge in Zhu Quanzhong. Zhu Quanzhong and the Eunuch Party are the same species. During the day, the Beggar Clan united with Wushuang.

City, so tomorrow the Beggar Clan, the Four Villas, and Wushuang City will definitely advance and retreat together."

"According to what you said, the three parties are almost evenly matched," he said.

"On the surface, yes," Zhang Mo said, "but the Beggar Clan's Master Long Hao left Shaolin. Although he has been expelled from the Shaolin Temple, he still has some incestuous feelings after all. There is no guarantee that they will not join forces with the Shaolin Temple.

"

"Will the Shaolin Temple get involved with the eunuchs?" He frowned.

"The Shaolin Temple is a well-known and upright sect. It has many loyal and patriotic acts, so naturally it will not collude with the eunuchs," Zhang Mo said, "but Taoism and Buddhism have always been at odds. Fifty years ago, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, resulting in the demolition of four thousand Buddhist temples.

There were more than 600 monks and nuns who were forced to return to secular life, totaling 260,000. The reason why Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty destroyed Buddhism was because this person believed in Buddhism, so the monk painted this big turtle on us, and then Xuanzong, who believed in Buddhism, succeeded to the throne.

, Buddhism was able to recover quickly, and now it has regained its strength. With this fair fight, there is no guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to avenge their previous shame."

Between the two talking

, had already reached the street, Zhang Mo waved his hand to go back again, and it was inconvenient to send him away again. He could only stop on the street and watch Zhang Mo disappear into the snowy night of Chang'an.

When I returned to the Yushitai, I was completely sleepless. I thought about some files that I had not finished reading, so I went to the library to continue reading the previous files. I was in a good mood and was very efficient. It only took an hour to finish reading the remaining files.

There were many civil servants with problems, but the biggest problem was with military generals because they held military power. In order to find out the situation as soon as possible, he decided to conduct a large-scale inspection after the competition, visiting every yamen and every military camp.

, to understand the truest situation, we cannot just read files and talk on paper.

When we left the library, the snow had stopped and it was about four fingers thick.

Because it was very cold, I didn't rush to the square too early and didn't get up until about nine o'clock.

Before he could finish washing up, Da Tou came over with a food box to deliver the meal, so as not to be scolded again. He had never treated Da Tou as a subordinate, but Da Tou always regarded himself as a subordinate, taking care of daily life.

Datou listened. He never thought that a disabled person would one day be able to be a court official, let alone have such a big house in Chang'an. He knew that everything he had was a gift, and in his heart

Gratitude, although not expressed in words, can be seen in actions.

While eating, he ordered Datou to sort out all the files on all the unsolved cases in the past ten years, and also bring forward all the unsolved cases in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishments, so that they can be inspected and cleaned up in the future, and accountability should be strictly investigated.

After breakfast, I left with my food box in my hand and packed up to go out.

After the door was closed, I remembered something again, so I went back to the house and found the only three remaining pills from the hiding place, one each for detoxification, healing, and return to heaven, all of which were silver pills.

Today's competition is bound to be very brutal. He keeps these three elixirs with him in case of emergency. However, these are the only three elixirs he has left. Unless it is extremely critical, he will not use them easily.

Ni Zhuo once gave him a book, which recorded the Ni family's industries and businesses in Chang'an and other places. I had seen this book before and knew that the Ni family had several pharmacies in Chang'an. After leaving home, I went directly to one of the pharmacies.

The shopkeeper recognized him and knew that he was the son-in-law of the Ni family, so he hurried forward and greeted him politely.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and time was a little tight, so I didn't waste any time. I directly named more than a dozen kinds of medicines, including Daji, Xiaoji, Sanguisorba, and Sophora japonica, and ordered them to take three liang of each and mix it.

Can, these drugs can stop bleeding when used alone, but the effect is better when mixed.

While the guys were grinding eagerly, they came up with another recipe: 2 liang of bezoar, 2 liang of wild ginseng, one liang of rhinoceros horn, three qian of musk, three qian of pearl, three qian of cinnabar, three qian of realgar, three qian of coptis and scutellaria baicalensis.

Three coins, grind them all and set aside. This recipe is called Qian Jin Fang.

It is the first medicine of Qian Jin Yi Fang. Most of the medicines used are rare and very expensive, but the medicine is also miraculous and powerful. Whether you are seriously injured and about to die or your energy and blood are exhausted, taking one dose can extend your life for three to six hours.

.

This recipe is mostly used by wealthy families to hang up the dying people and buy time to give their last words. Using this recipe also buys time for possible injured people so that they can treat them calmly.

Six or seven clerks worked separately, quickly preparing the two kinds of medicinal powders, carrying two small jars, and a roll of two-inch wide white silk for wound wrapping and hurried to the square.

Wounds cannot be bandaged with cotton, and linen is not good either, because cotton and linen will absorb blood. White silk is best, and the only disadvantage is that it is expensive.

The road was slippery after the snow, and I carefully carried two small jars. If the two jars of medicine were converted into silver, they would cost at least a thousand taels. Not to mention that money is useless, money is the most useful thing. If you have money at a critical moment, you will be saved.

After driving all the way, we finally arrived at the square before Chen time. At this time, the snow on the square had been cleared away. Three arenas were lined up from north to south. Each arena was nine feet square and ten meters apart from each other.

Yu Zhang, these three arenas are no longer separated from the ground by vermillion lacquer boundaries, but are real arenas, built with giant wood, more than two feet high. There are no steps in the three arenas, so you can only use Qinggong to get on the stage.

At this time, the nine division masters have already taken their respective positions, but their locations have changed. Shaolin Temple, Prajna Temple, and Daji Temple are located on the west side of the square, Beggar Gang, Zhuque Villa, and Wushuang City are located on the south side, headed by Liangyi Mountain.

Everyone in Yuqing did not deliberately hide, and directly stood on the east side of the square with Longhushan and Yanbang.

The positions of the nine division champions have clearly stated their positions. The world is divided into three parts, and the divisions are clear.

The imperial court has set up three general champions for the official martial arts competition. In the eyes of the onlookers, there are three parties in the field at this time, and each party can occupy a seat. There is no suspense in today's competition.

But this is only the view of onlookers. Anyone with a real eye knows that the more the three pillars stand against each other, the greater the variables will be.

By the time they walked around the side of the court to the east side of the square, three examiners and nine invigilators had already entered. Apart from the examiners, there were no eunuchs accompanying them. This meant that there was no decree to be read out by the imperial court today.

As soon as they arrived at their own camp, the examiner rang the gong, and the martial arts competition officially began.

After the gong sounded, Gongsun Chengwei, the left guardian of the Beggar Clan, was the first to take the stage and occupied the middle stage.

A monk from Shaolin Temple followed closely and occupied the north side of the arena.

Before Zhang Mo came on stage, a monk from Prajna Temple jumped into the air and landed on the south side of the arena.
Chapter completed!
