Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 123
Xishan is very large and stretches for hundreds of miles.

To find the Fox Valley in it is not like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's not far off.

The key is that although he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, because he has no training resources and guidance from famous teachers, he is still training at the first level of martial arts, which is why he is stronger than ordinary people.

There are many ferocious beasts in the Western Mountains, and it would be very dangerous for him to enter rashly. This move will definitely not work.

In addition, those foxes were all pure foxes, and with Yuan Fei Xiang Fox King protecting them, he did not dare to come rashly.

If he was targeted by King Xianghu, not to mention doing it himself, just blowing wind in Emperor Qian's ear would be enough for him, and even the Duke of Yin might be implicated.

Therefore, if you want to enter the Fox Valley to obtain the "Past Amitabha Sutra", you can only follow the path of Hong Yi in the original work, and be taken by Yuan Fei to be a teacher for those foxes, and then take away the sutra without anyone noticing.

He remembered that in the original work, Hong Yi stayed in a temple at the foot of the West Mountain and was chosen by King Xianghu because of a poem. As for which temple it was, he still needed to verify it later.

The Fragrant Fox King often went out of the palace to see the group of little foxes and would pass by that temple. Therefore, if he went to the temple to stay overnight in advance, he would definitely be able to wait for the Fragrant Fox King.

After thinking about the strategy, Yin Qi felt relieved.

His consciousness sank into the depths of his mind, and he looked at the simple and vast altar, with a foot-high red light of luck floating on it.

The luck essence is red, indicating that he is a noble.

Duke, marquis, uncle, son, male, duke is only under the king.

Although he is a bastard, he is also a noble.

As for the luck of being one foot tall, it is at the level of an ordinary person.

Good or bad luck, destined to be ordinary.

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, he was still a little disappointed by his luck, which was only one foot tall.

But compared to ordinary people, his background is not bad.

Withdrawing from the depths of his mind, Yin Qi recalled the ancestral martial arts "Dragon Elephant Kung Fu". Because of his status as a concubine, he was only taught the training methods for the first three levels: meat training, skin training, and muscle training.

Yangshen Martial Arts, from low to high, is divided into: meat training, skin training, muscle training, bone training, viscera training, marrow training, and martial arts training. This is actually the human realm of prehistoric martial arts.

However, after comparison, Yin Qi discovered that Yangshen Martial Arts was practiced more meticulously, like a carefully polished work of art.

The prehistoric martial arts is like a rough sketch drawn casually.

……

before noon.

Yan Mingtang said loudly: "Okay, time is up, everyone stops writing."

Everyone stopped writing one after another, and many of them looked frustrated. It was obvious that they had not finished writing.

After collecting the article, Yan Mingtang left.

Everyone also got up and went to the cafeteria to eat, in small groups.

Yin Qi and Hong Yi walked side by side.

Hong Yi asked curiously: "Brother Yin, why are you so fast today? Your thoughts are flowing like a fountain!"

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said: "Then there is a spring of literary thoughts. It's just that I just thought about this sentence a few days ago, so I can write it. If it were other propositions, it would definitely not be like this."

"Oh I got it!"

Hong Yi nodded. He understood Yin Qi's level, so this explanation was reasonable.

Yin Qi suddenly said: "By the way, Brother Hong, in the next period of time, I want to find a place to study in Xishan, preferably a quieter place. Do you have any recommendations?"

Hong Yi was surprised and said: "Why are you thinking of going to Xishan to find a place to study?"

Yin Qi had already thought of the wording and said: "The main reason is that His Majesty suddenly announced that Enke will be opened next year. I was caught off guard. I have been feeling uneasy during this time, so I wanted to go outside and relax."

Hong Yi nodded, thought for a while and said: "I'm not very familiar with Xishan, but I know there is a place called Qiuyue Temple. There is an old monk in it. It is very deserted, but the temple is a bit dilapidated. I go there every year I stayed there for a while, firstly to guard my mother’s grave, and secondly to keep her clean.”

If we talk about staying overnight to study, the best place is actually Yujing Temple.

But he knew that Yin Qi's financial resources were not much better than his, and he would definitely not have the money to go to Yujing to watch.

Yin Qi's eyes flashed and he said: "Qiuyue Temple, I have written it down."

.........

afternoon.classroom.

Yan Mingtang quickly read the article.

It takes five or six hundred words to read in five or six minutes, and then it takes two to three minutes to comment.

"This article is well written, but it fails to solve the topic. It asked you to explain that gentlemen are harmonious but different. Why do you write about the cultivation of a gentleman? You have completely missed the topic. The focus is on harmony and unity."

"What is this thing about? The structure is so loose that everything I usually teach has been fed to the dog?"

"Well, Hong Yi's article has a good title, rigorous structure, and beautiful writing."

……

Although Yan Mingtang is strict and rigid, and he is merciless in scolding, he will not name poorly written articles. He will only name names when he sees well-written articles.

For poor students, we must take their face into consideration.

For top students, they should be praised in person and serve as an example.

Time passed and finally it was time for the last article.

Yan Mingtang actually showed a rare smile and said: "I deliberately left this article at the end. It is written by Yin Qi. It is also the best article written today. It is not only rigorous in structure, but also very novel in conception. Even I have never thought of it. Next, I will read it for you, so you can learn more."

Swish!

Everyone in Master Yan's church did not dare to make any noise. They could only turn their heads to look at Yin Qi, with shock in their eyes.

You must know that Master Yan's reading of articles in this way rarely occurs once in several years.

Yin Qi's grades are usually the same, so why did he break out this time?
Hong Yi was also shocked.

His grades have always been very good and he is basically ranked first, but he does not receive such treatment.

Yan Mingtang first recited it and then used this article as a model to explain it to everyone.

After he finished speaking, it was time for school to end.

Yan Mingtang put down the article, looked at Yin Qi and said, "Yin Qi, you have made great progress during this period. If you can maintain this level in the provincial examination next year, you will have no worries, but you must not be proud, and you need to study harder."

Yin Qi quickly agreed: "Yes, Master."

"Well, that's it for today, let's finish school."

…………

After school, Yin Qi and Hong Yi waved and walked home.

The Yin Guogong Mansion covers an area of ​​nearly a hundred acres, with high walls and deep courtyards.

The stone unicorn in front of the house is three people tall, and the copper nails and rings on the vermilion door shine in the sun.

On both sides in front of the main entrance, there were eight soldiers standing in sharp armor.

The Duke's Mansion is too big and has many entrances and exits.

Yin Qi usually enters and exits through the back door. Firstly, it is close to his residence, and secondly, the main entrance is not allowed to enter and exit on weekdays. He can only go through the side door, so it is better to go through the back door.

Yin Qi lives in a remote courtyard in the northwest corner.

There is no maid around, so I have to go to the kitchen to prepare meals by myself.

His father, Yin Tiancheng, was the third generation Duke of Yin. He married three wives and ten concubines. He also advocated the concept that having many children is a blessing and he kept creating people. He gave birth to seventeen sons and twelve daughters.

The eldest grandson is already seven years old, and the youngest daughter has just been weaned.

Yin Qi ranked thirteenth. Because his mother was only the daughter of a businessman and died of illness very early, he became a little transparent in the house.

However, Yin Tiancheng was a good person and his subordinates were very strict. Therefore, not only did Yin Qi receive ten taels of silver per month, he was never oppressed by powerful slaves. At most, he was secretly embarrassed.

But he never fought or grabbed, and no one targeted him.

Ten taels of silver may not sound like much, but its actual purchasing power is very strong.

A big sesame seed cake cost only a penny, and a family of three only spent one tael of silver a month. Therefore, apart from being unpopular, he still lived quite comfortably in the Duke's Mansion.
