Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 173: Xuanmen reads "Journey to the West", while my Zhuge family reads "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
"who!"

When he was suddenly caught from the inn in the middle of the night, Zhuge Yuan thought he had run into some bad guys. But then he thought again, he was still a rookie and had no enemies, so it could only be Quan Xing.

So he shouted angrily: "Quan Xing monster, stop being so arrogant. I advise you to surrender quickly and wait for your punishment. Maybe you can save your life. Otherwise, wait for my brother... Ouch!"

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by the figure in front of him.

"Wait for me, tell me what's going on."

He Songling's voice came.

"Ah, ah? Hey, senior brother!" Zhuge Yuan hurriedly got up and approached He Songling with a smile on his face: "Senior brother, look at you, if you want to find me, just call me and I will go to your place and wait for you. It's the middle of the night, and you still bother to come to find me in person..."

"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want me to do? Tell me." He Songling crossed his arms and sneered.

"Ah, Brother, you have the final say on how to deal with it. Allow me to..."

"Don't worry, just tell me, tell me."

"Ah this..."

Zhuge Yuan was sweating profusely. After hesitating for a long time, he could only say, "I, I don't know."

"So why do you think you're just an idiot? You don't even dare to use the tiger's skin as a banner, and you wait for others to make decisions for you in everything." He Songling said angrily, "You have no ideas and can't think. Tell me, what is stuck between your ears? The leftover stew from last night? Huh?"

“Senior Brother, I, I…” Zhuge Yuan really didn’t know what was going on and couldn’t say a word.

"Let me ask you, what did I tell you when I was teaching you at the Lu family during the day?"

"Ah, explain, explain this..." Zhuge Yuan was extremely anxious, but when he carefully recalled every scene of yesterday, there was no such thing as He Songling explaining anything to him alone.

In the end, I was really helpless and could only say: "Brother, my ancestor, Prime Minister Kong Ming, wanted us to strengthen our bodies. If I practice well, I might be able to master the two doors of Ni Sheng and Qi Men..."

"That was what I thought during the day." He Songling interrupted Zhuge Yuan angrily, "Now I have changed my mind. You are such an idiot, and you are still trying to hold two doors. Go ahead and block both ends!"

"No, senior brother, what did I do wrong? Please tell me so that I can die with a clear conscience!" Zhuge Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Okay, okay, let me ask you, what else do I do during the day besides talking to you?"

"Uh, uh this..." Zhuge Yuan racked his brains and barely recalled the scene at that time: "You also hit me on the head three times."

"Right!" He Songling pounded his fists, "What does it mean to hit you on the head three times?"

"Ah, I'm not here?" Zhuge Yuan looked confused. "Does it represent your encouragement to me?"

"Oh my..." He Songling grabbed his ear and yelled, "I asked you to come to me in the middle of the night. I have a secret method to teach you in person! Do you understand? Have you read Journey to the West?"

The book "Journey to the West" seems to worship Buddhism and suppress Taoism, but in fact it is a typical idea of ​​the integration of the three religions. It is just that because the theme is to obtain Buddhist scriptures, the role of Buddhism is highlighted. But in fact, the common ruler of the three realms is the Jade Emperor. No matter how powerful the Tathagata Buddha is, he has to obey orders and suppress bandits as soon as the Jade Emperor gives an order, and in the end he has to give the credit to the leader.

The titles of almost every chapter of Journey to the West contain hints on the Taoist inner alchemy practice. The core secret of the book, "Thirty-six Thieves and Eight Wonderful Skills," is found in the Twenty-four Valleys and also comes from the alchemy practice of the Three Chariots and the River Chariot.

The old thief Mi San absolutely loves Journey to the West. He Songling doesn't believe that in this world created by him, anyone could have read the puzzle of the three hits of the monkey by Patriarch Bodhi in Journey to the West.

"Ah, I haven't seen it." Zhuge Yuan said with grievance: "Brother, my family watches "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."

"..."

Silence, silence is the mayor of Wuhan tonight, Jiang Daqiao.

"Hey, junior brother, look at what you are doing sitting on the ground. It's late at night and the ground is so cold and dirty. Get up quickly." He Songling pulled Zhuge Yuan up with a smile on his face, as if something good had happened.

Zhuge Yuan looked bewildered.

Is this kind of shameless quality what we, the members of Sanyi School, should have? Shouldn't the members of Sanyi School apologize at this time?

"How about this, you apologize. If you apologize to me now, the matter of not solving my puzzle during the day will be over."

Well, that's right, the average level of shamelessness is not worthy of He Songling.

What could Zhuge Yuan do? He could only apologize honestly: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother. It's my fault that I'm stupid and didn't understand the deeper meaning of your words."

"Hey, that's right. You're a good kid if you know your mistakes and correct them." He Songling patted Zhuge Yuan on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction and said, "You should read less of those crap books like Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the future. After all, we are also people of the Xuanmen sect, so we should read more about Xuanmen alchemy."

"Yes, yes, that's what my brother taught me."

Zhuge Yuanzi must have been bitten by a dog in the middle of the night, and he kept saying yes mechanically.

"You have great talent, kid. I see something interesting in you. I guess this is what your elders and our master think, so let's do an experiment. I will speed up your process and help you become a great person."

He Songling finally got serious and got to the point. "The reason I called you over in the middle of the night is because I'm afraid others will get jealous. Although everyone in our sect is a gentleman, there's no need to deliberately test people's nature. Don't expose yourself before you've learned something. Do you understand?"

Zhuge Yuan was indeed a pupil of Lu Jin. When he saw He Songling's serious tone, he immediately sat up straight and listened attentively: "I understand. Please teach me, brother!"

"First of all, we need to understand one thing. Why are the main schools in our righteous way so closely related and call each other brothers? Is it just to guard against Quan Xing? Yes and no."

He Songling used his magic paint to draw a diagram of the righteous forces and the representative skills of each school in the air, pointing and saying: "In addition to jointly resisting Quan Xing, we have also obviously discovered that it is not advisable to work in isolation. There must be mutual communication between the various schools and skills, so that they can be better developed.

Therefore, it is common for Yi Ren to have several masters and learn several skills. The restriction on how many skills a person can learn is not because of the rules of the sect, but whether a person can take care of so many skills.

Among them, there are similar ones such as Secret Painting and Divine Painting, Chu Ma Xian and Liangshan Wu Ji, and there are also ones that complement each other. Junior Brother Zhuge, your Wu Hou Qi Men and our San Yi Men's Ni Sheng San Chong are complementary. "
