Chapter 115 Banquet

When Yang Guo returned to Lujiazhuang, it was late in the evening, and all the heroes were eating and talking high-spirited in the living room. Since the hero banquet will be officially held tomorrow, the drinks on the dinner table tonight are only moderate, but the meals are very rich.

He looked around, but did not see Guo Fu and the Wu brothers. I don't know if they went back to their room to rest, or they found something interesting to play again.

Guo Jing was entertaining guests, when he saw Yang Guo coming in, he called him over.

"Come and sit with me in the main hall tomorrow. I'll ask your aunt to save a seat for you." Guo Jing said, "This hero banquet is held to fight against Mongols, Baosong, and is of great significance. You can read more, It will be good for you to listen more."

"Yes, Uncle." Yang Guo agreed, and asked again: "I wonder how the discussion between Uncle and Aunt has gone? How are you going to deal with that Jinlun Guoshi?"

Guo Jing said: " Huo Dou and Da'erba are easy to deal with, but only the Imperial Master Jinlun doesn't know what's true or not. But thinking about it, Lai and I are also brothers, so it's inevitable that there will be a fierce battle."

"Then if uncle gets injured..." Yang Guo couldn't help saying.

"It doesn't matter." Guo Jing said: "Without your notice, it might be difficult for us to defend Xiangyang City without any precautions. But now the heroes of the world are here, as long as I don't die, Xiangyang City will not be broken."

Although his tone was flat when he said this, there was a strong confidence in the flatness. This kind of self-confidence comes not only from the collective wisdom and strength of the martial arts in the Central Plains, but also from the glorious confidence created by countless victories since the command of the army. Yang Guo thought to himself: "That's right. In the original book, after Guo Jing was injured, Jinlun Guoshi dared to enter the city at night to assassinate him. It was because the heroes dispersed after the hero banquet, leaving only the close friends Zhu Ziliu and others to resist desperately. Today The circumstances were very different and it should never happen again."

After bidding farewell to Guo Jing, Yang Guo returned to the room. After rehearsing the dog-beating stick method several times, he practiced internal strength routinely. When the "Nine Suns Manual" was practiced to the third volume, the progress had obviously slowed down considerably. And it's even harder to practice. But the more so, the calmer and calmer his heart became, without arrogance or impetuosity.

Greed and aggressiveness is a big taboo when practicing internal skills, and an unbalanced mood can easily cause all kinds of demons when practicing. However, these difficulties have long plagued martial arts practitioners. On Yang Guo's body, he was easily overcome. The mind of Quanzhen Sect is majestic and upright, while the mind of Ancient Tomb School is as clear as water, and there is a cold jade bed to help calm the mind and mind. Combining the three phases, the demons of the heart will not be able to get rid of, and all evils will not invade.

Generally speaking, internal energy is superior, and the requirements for practitioners in terms of talent and comprehension are relatively strict, and it is often achieved by chance and coincidence. Zhang Wuji and Jueyuan were able to practice the "Nine Suns Manual" because of "not seeking". The other is because of "no demand".

But nothing can be done without asking.

Zhang Wuji and Jueyuan are able to "do nothing", but they are not on the right path.

What is right?

Not strange, not coincidental, not biased, not evil. is positive.

Whether it is practicing martial arts, practicing Buddhism or cultivating Taoism, there should be a word "seek".

The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.

No matter which superior exercise, its founder must have "seeked" when he created the exercise. If there is "no seeking" or "no seeking", how can this practice be created?

Practicing Buddha has the heart of Buddha, and cultivating the Tao has the heart of Taoism. Whether it is the heart of Buddha. Or Dao Xin, it is not to ignore or avoid disasters, but to point directly to the original heart and surrender disasters.

This is the right way.

Therefore, the root of practicing superior internal strength does not lie in "not seeking" or "not seeking", but depends on the state of mind.

Once you can control your state of mind, you won't lose sight of illusions or inner demons. "Having a request" is also okay.

The truth of this was only realized by Yang Guo recently. He knew that when practicing the "Yi Jin Jing" in Shaolin Temple, it is necessary not to have the thought of practicing martial arts, but if you don't have the thought of practicing martial arts, how can you practice it? martial arts? Is it true that everyone who wants to practice can't practice, but those who don't want to practice can practice instead?

Isn't this ridiculous?

He had never been able to figure this out before. It wasn't until he achieved a small degree of Nine Yang Neigong that he gradually realized that it wasn't that he didn't have the thought of practicing martial arts, but that he could have this thought before practicing, but he had to get rid of it during the practice.

This is exactly what the Buddhists call breaking the realm of "self-image" and "human appearance".

Yang Guo crossed his legs and practiced his inner strength for two hours, then lay down on the bed.

In the past three years, with the help of the cold jade bed, he has been able to achieve that after leaving the cold jade bed, his internal energy can still run naturally all the time. At this time, he was lying on the bed, the internal force in his body was circulating around his body according to the exercise method of the Nine Suns Scripture, but his mind was thinking about the green-shirted man in the Bairi Restaurant.

If his predictions were correct, the man in the blue shirt was probably Cheng Ying. Of course, the world is so big, it's normal to have another woman wearing a mask, Cheng Ying may not be the only one.

"If it's really Cheng Ying, then she must be looking for her cousin Lu Wushuang." Yang Guo thought, "Lu Wushuang is also a poor girl who lost her parents when she was young and suffered at the hands of her enemies. I have practiced kung fu If you are successful, go and rescue her as soon as possible."

He couldn't help but think back to the few days he spent with Lu Wushuang, wondering if he would surprise her if he appeared in front of her? Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing.

The next day, the main hall, front hall, back hall, side hall, and flower hall of Lujiazhuang were filled with banquets, crowded with people everywhere, and almost no seats were empty.

So far, the famous heroes from all walks of life who have come here with hero posts have basically arrived, but there are also quite a few people from the world who have not been invited. Thousands of people gathered in Lujiazhuang, which seemed spectacular. Fortunately, the Lu family has a big business, as long as someone comes, they can fill the table immediately, so no one will be left out in the cold.

In the afternoon, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Lu's couple, Lu Youjiao, Zhu Ziliu, Diancang Yuyin, Hao Datong and others entered the main hall and sat down among the guests of honor.

Yang Guo got Guo Jing's instruction,

sit next to him. On the contrary, Guo Fu and the Wu brothers sat farther away, at the bottom.

Lu Youjiao walked to the middle of the hall, and said in a clear voice: "Today, some of you here are invited by our gang, and some of you are not invited. No matter which one is, it is the trust and deep love for our gang. Lu has nothing to say thank you, and now I have a glass of water and wine to respect all the heroes, and everyone drank this glass!" He said in his mouth, holding a glass of wine in his hand to express his thanks.

When Lu Youjiao took over as the leader of the Beggars' Clan, many people watched the ceremony, and they would naturally give them face and respect, and they all said, "You are very polite, your Clan has helped us a lot. Invitation, we naturally want to come!" "No one knows the name of loyalty of your gang, it is our honor to be invited!"

Lu Youjiao drank the wine, and after all the heroes had also drank, he said : "Our gang followed the orders of the old gang leader Hong, and all the gang members fought against the enemy and foreign invasion with all their strength. Now the Mongol Tartars are invading our Song Dynasty. Among the ten rooms, * is free. However, when the court officials Cowardly, with no discipline in the army, it is really difficult to save the people from fire and water. The purpose of inviting all heroes to gather here is to form an alliance against Mongolia, Baosong and Song Dynasty at this time of life and death. Let's work together to kill the enemy and drive out the Tartars Son!"

"That's a good idea, I agree!"

"We are all bloody men, we should kill a few more Tartars!"

"I've always wanted to kill those Mongolian barbarians, now it's all right!"

Lu Youjiao saw Everyone was in high spirits and responded enthusiastically, and then continued: "However, as the saying goes, 'A country cannot live without a king, and a snake cannot live without a head'. There is a leader who is highly respected and respected by everyone to lead us, and we will advance and retreat together, live and die together, so that we can kill the Tartars!" The group of

heroes promised, and shouted: "Then choose the old leader Hong! Now, with him as the leader of the alliance, we are all convinced!" "We all admire the chivalry of the old leader Hong, who else is more qualified to be the leader than the old man?"

While the crowd was clamoring, Zhuang Ding hurried over to report: "A group of Mongols has come and said they want to participate in the hero's banquet

.

" They looked at each other, then stood up, and said, "Heroes, wait a moment, I'll go to greet you."

Guo Jing and his wife and Lu Guanying and his wife, as hosts, went out to the door to greet them.

When Guo Jing arrived at the gate, he saw two teams of Mongolian warriors fanning out on both sides, protecting the seven people in the middle, so he couldn't help scanning his eyes to take a closer look.

Among them, the noble son holding a folding fan and the thin-faced monk were recognized by Guo Jing at a glance, they were Prince Huodu and Daerba who had met him once in Chongyang Palace.

Between Huo Dou and Darba is a tall and thin monk in a red robe, holding a golden wheel. Guo Jing thought of the title "Golden Wheel National Teacher" and thought to himself: "This should be the master of Huo Dou and Daerba, the Golden Wheel National Teacher."

He was about to look at the other four people again, UUReading www. uukanshu.com Huo Dou had already taken a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Guo Daxia, Huang Gangzhu, we are not invited here today, so it is very abrupt. However, the Heroes Banquet is a grand event in the martial arts, we don't want to miss it, so we have to come here brazenly. I hope you two don't take offense!"

Guo Jing said: "It doesn't matter, our banquet is held to protect the Song Dynasty against Mongolia, as long as you have the ambition, no matter who it is, you can come to the banquet."

Huo Du said: "This Leaving aside , let me introduce you first."

He turned around and said to the red-robed monk, "Master, these two are the well-known Guo Jing Guo Daxia and Mrs. Guo Huang Gangzhu, who are well-known in the Central Plains." Huang Rong and the two said: "This is my master, the Mongolian holy monk Jinlun Guoshi."

Guo Jing nodded and said: "We are guests from afar, everyone, please come in and have a glass of water and wine."

Guo Jing, Jinlun Guoshi and others returned to the main hall, Yang Guo took a closer look, he couldn't help being slightly startled, thinking: "This It's going to be a headache to play Huang Rong."
