Guixi is not a big city, and labor is much cheaper.

The workers at these docks only have thirty or fifty cents a day. The rice price is five cents a stone of silver, and you can buy a pound of rice for about 3 to 4 cents.

If taxes and corvee labor are not counted, life may be acceptable, but these two things will definitely not be missing.

The taxes stipulated by the court are different from those actually collected...

Zhang Zhixiang couldn't change anything, so he could only take out a tael of silver and find a soup cake shop at the dock, asking the store to give each worker a bowl of mixed soup and two pancakes after the work was closed.

Before leaving, Zhang Fu gave him fifty taels of silver, and he was quite affordable.

After finishing all this, the merchant ship manager praised with a smile: "The Taoist priest is kind, and the laborers at Zheng's code head thanked him."

He is observing himself?

When Zhang Zhixiang was confused, the manager had already told his friend that it was the workers who were carrying goods today, each of whom added ten cents to reward each, which made Zhang Zhixiang feel quite complicated.

Especially when the workers heard the news, they happily shouted to him thank him.

"Are you helping me make a name?"

Although Zhang Zhixiang has no social experience, he is very clear-headed and sees the key. However, he asks so straightforwardly, and most people will inevitably be embarrassed.

Zheng Rongsheng smiled and said, "It's just half an hour earlier."

"What's more, our Guiyuan Trading Company has also gained a reputation for good. In the future, those workers will be more serious when there are employment places. This is also beneficial. It is still because we have benefited from the Taoist priest's glory. Please don't mind it."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Zheng Rongsheng didn't mind, as the etiquette was enough.

His drunkard was not drunk. When he saw Zhang Yonghuan coming out of the guest room when he heard the movement, Zheng Rongsheng went up to meet him. He intended to make friends with this generation of disciples from the Heavenly Master Mansion.

Next is the communication between adults.

Zhang Zhixiang stood on the deck and watched the merchant ship start to anchor. The pier was getting farther and farther away, and the mountains and the city were passing by on both sides. He didn't know what he was feeling.

Anyway, as soon as I went down the mountain, I felt a little tempted to go back...

"Do you know why the head teacher no longer teaches the Taoist Dharma?" Zhang Yonghuan was already standing beside Zhang Zhixiang at some point. He looked at the last ray of sunset and said.

"Senior brother said I'm still young." Zhang Zhixiang said.

Zhang Yonghuan nodded and said, "On the surface, this is true, but in fact, it is because practicing Taoism itself is the unity of man and nature. If you don't enter the world and experience life, how can you talk about the unity of man and nature?"

"Practicing Taoism is not something you can practice by reading Taoism books and practicing the exercises."

"Since the founding of Quanzhen Taoism by Master Wang Chongyang."

"The Golden Dan Dao emphasizes the unity of the three religions. Now Mr. Wang Yangming founded the study of mind and also emphasizes the unity of the three religions. Therefore, the concept of practice is different now. Practice from the outside world is no longer the best solution."

"Sanfeng Patriarch advocated: refine oneself in the world and accumulate lead in the market."

"That's exactly what it means."

"Only by traveling thousands of miles and reading thousands of books is practice."

"The road from Longhu Mountain to Kyoto is the beginning of the path of uncle's cultivation."

Zhang Zhixiang nodded as if he had some understanding.

Zhang Yonghuan was more like a teacher than a Taoist priest. He rubbed Zhang Zhixiang's hair and said, "Let's do this, I'm so depressed by taking a boat all the way. How about I teach my uncle to practice martial arts?"

"Practice martial arts?"

"Yes, practicing martial arts is harder than practicing Taoism, but don't think so much. Is the uncle willing to learn it?"

“No conflict?”

"The ancestor Sanfeng often calls himself a martial artist, and I think there is no conflict."

"Okay, I'll learn."

Zhang Zhixiang wanted to learn, and Zhang Yonghuan began to teach. He saw that the middle-aged man, who was a little gentle like a scholar, actually gave people a feeling of being in absent and chasing. He turned out one step, slamming left and right, and the wind was stirring. When he was lifted, he pushed his elbow and fell down one step, as if the entire deck was shaking, and he pushed out one elbow. If there was a stele in front of him, he might be smashed...

"This is Bajiquan, also called Baziquan, which was spread from Wudang Mountain."

"It is rumored that Shaolin and Wudang had an academic exchange and jointly created this boxing technique. Although it belongs to internal martial arts, it is fierce and domineering, but it gathers the essence of Shaolin external martial arts."

"In fact, there is no distinction between martial arts, whether it is powerful or not depends on the user."

"For example, Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of Song Dynasty, used a set of long punches to fight the world invincible, so the essence of martial arts lies in skill, not skills."

"You can tell this by looking at the four realms of martial arts."

"The four realms are: skillful, unskilled, obedient, and follow the heart."

"Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty wrote an article "The Ouyang Selling Man". His article has 'nothing else, but he is skillful'. With his oil-drawing skills, he is more than the world's skills than Chen Kangsu's shooting skills. The one who is so capable is nothing more than the word 'familiar'."

"The way of martial arts should start from now on."

"The Tao Te Ching says: Great sound is rare, great elephants are invisible, and Tao is hidden and nameless. Therefore, heavy swords have no edges, great tricks are not craftsmanship, and every move does not require deliberate rhetoric, and it is not bound by craftsmanship, and it is natural."

"After you are familiar with it, you will be unworkable."

"Confucius said: "Sixty years old, and seventy years old, do whatever you want without breaking the rules."

"The Emperor of the Southern and Northern Dynasties' "Analects of Semantics" quoted Li Chong: 'If you listen to the words of the previous kings, you will know the virtues of the previous kings. If you follow the emperor, you will be in contrast to the heart. The heart and ears follow each other, so I say that the ears are in accordance with each other'."

"Ear listening is knowledge, and the mind follows the ears, which is called the ears obedient. Those who follow the ears are knowledgeable and able to do things. It is also what Wang Yangming said about the unity of knowledge and action."

"The state of obedience to the ears lies in the unity of knowledge and action, the body can keep up with what you think, and also in the beginning of this stage, the warrior's perception can hear the sounds of heaven and earth, and has the ability of the mind and eyes."

"The so-called follow the heart."

"It is 'doing your will and not breaking the rules'. Heaven and earth have their own rules. Being able to do whatever you want within the rules of heaven and earth is the greatest freedom."

"The martial artists do not have magical powers and magic, and they cannot fly to the sky and escape from the earth."

"But, because of the inability, it is omnipotent. No magic can be directly applied to the warrior from the state of mind. But he is a small world and can control his body as he wishes, and even achieve indestructibility of Vajra."

"This means: all things are not accepted, and all evil will be vacant. In a small space, I am invincible."

The fourth level of martial arts is very powerful, but Zhang Zhixiang was stunned and asked, "Uncle Four, since he can't bear all the things, how can he cultivate immortality?"

Zhang Zhixiang has a high seniority, but he discusses his own opinions.

The older ones call uncle, and the same year call brothers and sisters, probably, you call me uncle, and I call you uncle too... Zhang Yonghuan is the fourth oldest among the Yong generation, so he called the fourth uncle.

"Did you know that Master Uncle Rongning?"

"Changning?"

"Zhuangzi said: Those who kill live without death, and those who live without birth are not born. All things are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are welcomed; all are destroyed are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the ones that are the one

"Killing without thoughts."

"I don't use all things, but all things come."

"How can't we cultivate immortality?"

Zhang Zhixiang knew about chanting. Zhuangzi said that there are three realms of practice, namely: Xinzhai, sitting and forgetting, and chanting.

Since martial arts are related to the state of mind, then Master Zhang Sanfeng calls himself a martial artist. Does that mean that Master Sanfeng has already come into contact with the state of King Ning?

Zhang Yonghuan seemed to know what Zhang Zhixiang was thinking and smiled and said, "That's right, Master Sanfeng has already been calm."

Has it been half a step? What does this mean?

Didn't you ever arrive?

What does it mean... Zhang Sanfeng is still alive? In the fifth year of Jiajing, aren't they all 279 years old?

Zhang Zhixiang felt his throat a little dry: "Master Sanfeng... is still alive?"

Zhang Yonghuan nodded: "Well, but it's very close to the 300th anniversary. The head teacher said that there was a great heat before the Great Cold. If the ancestor Sanfeng could become a true immortal, he might break through the 30th anniversary and live forever."

Three hundred years old?

In the 42nd year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing gave Zhang Sanfeng the title of the Lord of Qingxuyuan Miao. It was a gift and a posthumous gift. It seems that the ancestor of Sanfeng in history failed to become a true immortal...
