1613 [Return to Shaolin]
Xiang Nan stayed in the palace for a full hour.
On the one hand, it is to teach Jiajing Tai Chi techniques, of course, only the moves, not the mental methods. Because Emperor Jiajing only needs exercise, playing Tai Chi to sweat, that's enough for him.
On the one hand, it is to prepare a menu for Jiajing. In terms of diet, how to mix and match nutrients, what are the taboos, and what are the preferences.
Xiang Nan is proficient in medical skills and cooking skills, so it is not difficult to prepare a nutritional menu that focuses on diet therapy. This menu was called "fairy dish" by Jiajing, and he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare it accordingly in the future.
…
After finishing his work, Xiang Nan was placed in Chaotian Palace and was given the title of Lord of Chaotian Palace.
Chaotian Palace was the largest Taoist temple in the capital at that time. There were Sanqing Hall, Tongming Hall, Puji Hall, Jingzhi Hall, Zongzhi Hall, Treasure Hall, Yousheng Hall, Jingying Hall, Chongzhen Hall, Yuanchang Hall, Yuanying Hall, and Zhaitang Hall.
There are thousands of abbots, dormitories, kitchens and bathrooms, warehouses, and wing rooms.
The scale of the temple is much larger than that of Laojun Temple, and there are thousands of Taoist priests in the temple, all of whom are now under the command of Xiang Nan. In addition, he was also rewarded with a purple jade belt and a gold, jade, silver, and ivory seal.
Show favor.
In the following period, Xiang Nan was repeatedly summoned to the palace by Emperor Jiajing to explain Taoism, demonstrate Taoism, and teach the way to immortality.
Xiang Nan is both civilized and military, well-informed, and is familiar with historical development, covering five thousand years. In terms of knowledge reserve, he can be said to be the best in the world. No matter what he talks about, he can talk eloquently.
In addition, he is very approachable and well versed in psychology, so his words are very suitable for Jiajing. Every time Jiajing chats with him, he feels like a rare confidant and a heart-to-heart.
Therefore, we often chat for an hour or two. No one who is the chief minister of the cabinet in the DPRK will be so favored. Therefore, Xiang Nanhu pretends to be powerful, and naturally the power in his hand is extremely great.
But Xiang Nan also knows that this is just an illusion. People who are close to power will always mistakenly think that they also have power. But as long as they lose favor and stay away from power, they will immediately become penniless.
Just like countless favored ministers recorded in history books, when they are favored by the emperor, they can become extremely popular ministers, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. But when they lose favor, even the most inconspicuous little person dares to
Come up and insult him.
Therefore, Xiang Nan did not forget about it. He still kept a low profile and guarded against arrogance and impetuosity. In addition to practicing martial arts and discussing Taoism with Emperor Jiajing every day, he also read the alchemy books and secret methods collected by Emperor Jiajing, hoping to find out how to practice internal strength.
Tips.
…
Because Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism, and what he did well at the top was bound to be bad at the bottom, so in order to invite favors, officials at all levels also collected alchemy books and secret methods to honor the emperor.
Some of these alchemy secrets are indeed made up out of thin air and are absurd; but some of them are indeed true and true.
For example, "The Secret of the Jinhua Chongbi Dan Sutra" passed down by Bai Yuchan of the Southern Taoist sect is a book of inner strength and mental methods; and another example is "The Great Alchemy Directly Points to the Inner Canon of Health Preservation" written by Qiu Chuji, one of the seven disciples of Quanzhen, the Northern Taoist sect.
It also contains a mental method for cultivating internal strength; there is also the "Fetal Breath Jue" passed down by one of the Taoist masters, Chen Tuan, which also talks about breathing in and out to maintain health, guide and refine Qi, and return to the origin.
However, these internal skills focus more on keeping one's mind calm and regulating one's energy. To be honest, they are not as good as those in martial arts novels, where after practicing, you can be as light as a swallow, climb up to the level of water, destroy gold and jade, and be indestructible as a diamond.
However, Xiang Nan is already very happy. After all, the body is the capital of revolution. With a good body, there are more possibilities.
…
Gu Shu
In the fourth year of Jiajing's reign, Xiang Nan received news that his master Jue Yuan had passed away.
After hearing the news, Xiang Nan asked Jiajing for an order, "Your Majesty, there is a proverb among the people that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin. I heard that there is a superior inner strength method in the temple called "Yi Jin Jing", which is very mysterious and mysterious. square.
After practicing it, you can strengthen your body, regulate your qi, and prolong your life. I asked the emperor to go to Shaolin for His Majesty to obtain the true scriptures."
"The real person is indeed loyal." Jiajing was very happy when he heard this, "However, the Shaolin Temple is far away in Heluo, and it takes a lot of time to travel there. I can't live without the real person for a day. Why don't I send the Jin Yiwei to get it."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. However, the Shaolin monks have always disobeyed the king's law, and I'm afraid they won't hand it over easily."
"Bold! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. This world belongs to me, let alone a scripture! If Shaolin Temple has disobedient intentions, I will send troops to destroy it." Emperor Jiajing immediately road.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty is indeed decisive and has great talents. However, the monks of the Shaolin Temple are highly skilled in martial arts and are no match for ordinary soldiers, so they may break out of the encirclement and wander around the world.
By that time, the Shaolin Temple will certainly be destroyed, but the "Yi Jin Jing" will also be lost. Therefore, I am willing to work tirelessly to get the scriptures for Your Majesty."
"In that case, okay." Emperor Jiajing thought for a moment and finally nodded.
He now only wants to live forever, so even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he wants to give it a try. And since Xiang Nan explains the "Yi Jin Jing" so well, it must be effective.
…
Xiang Nan immediately set off to return to Heluo.
However, he knew that going to the Shaolin Temple to seize martial arts secrets and spreading them would cause ridicule from fellow practitioners, so he went to the Shaolin Temple under the guise of offering incense for his master, and took Junbao with him.
"Master actually died?! It's really unexpected." Jun Bao was very sad when he heard that Jue Yuan passed away.
"Yes, all heaven and humans undergo five changes of decline. Master is also a mortal after all." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "The deceased is dead. What we can do is to keep Master in our hearts forever."
"Senior brother, you are right." Jun Bao nodded.
"Jun Bao, this time I offer incense for Master, I will suffer the humiliation of fifteen years." Xiang Nan said again, "Xin Bao deceived us and was biased. He expelled us from the Shaolin Temple and prevented me from entering the Bodhidharma Academy. Practice superior martial arts. I want to settle this debt with them."
"Senior brother, it's been so long, why bother worrying about when will the injustice be repaid?" Upon hearing this, Jun Bao admonished as expected.
He no longer cares about what happened fifteen years ago.
"No, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. You know my character. I'm not a petty person. I just want to get back what should belong to me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "If I didn't worry about Master, To save face, ten years ago, I led my army to surround the Shaolin Temple."
When Jun Bao saw Xiang Nan say this, he wanted to persuade him, but he also knew that his character was always consistent. As long as he made a decision, he rarely regretted it.
