The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 6 Clear Goal
Jia Zheng was about to reprimand Jia Baoyu when he heard Li Jingxiao say, "Since the young master has asked, I will not conceal the truth.

Practicing martial arts and cultivating Taoism is far from being as easy as outsiders imagine.

On weekdays, I often read Taoist scriptures in the morning and evening, and practice Taoist kung fu and internal training methods to strengthen my body.

He also had to study medicine and go into the mountains to collect herbs, which was really hard work.

And what the young master may not know is that he wants to understand Taoist scriptures, Taoist Kung Fu, internal training methods and medical skills.

Not only should Confucianism be read, but it should also be read carefully.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to understand or comprehend the Daoist scriptures.”

In the eyes of the world, this self-praise was an advice to Jia Baoyu to study, and no one would blame Li Jingxiao.

But after hearing this, Jia Zheng will definitely dislike Jia Baoyu, and even dislike him more and more.

Jia Baoyu originally thought that the Taoist priest was handsome and wanted to take the initiative to get close to him.

But after hearing what he said next, I lost all my good impression of him.

Lady Jia and other ladies, girls, and daughters-in-law were curious as to why in order to understand the Taoist scriptures they had to study Confucianism.

Li Jingxiao continued, "The origins of Confucianism and Taoism are beyond words. They have been passed down to this day and have long been intertwined.

In Taoist scriptures and methods of cultivation, there are some metaphors and acrostics that you may not understand if you don’t understand their meaning.

I'll give you the secret manual, but don't even think about practicing it. It's just good luck that you don't go astray."

The Taoist methods of Zhenwu Temple do have secret manuals. The master also taught him the techniques of practicing Taoism and drawing talismans, as well as the methods of cultivation passed down orally.

It's a means of maintaining confidentiality.

In order to find more advanced martial arts, Li Jingxiao had searched all over the Zhenwu Temple in the past few months and found the secret manual.

But he didn't dare to practice it by himself now, for fear that he would not know the taboos and mantras and end up hurting himself.

And to be honest, the martial arts in the game are more practical than the Taoist magic of Zhenwu Temple.

In the future, the game will definitely have more advanced cultivation techniques and immortal cultivation methods, so Li Jingxiao is not worried about the subsequent cultivation methods at all.

And the reason why he mentioned the method of cultivation again and again was just to find a reasonable source for his own skills.

The martial arts in the game can be said to be the inheritance of Zhenwu Temple.

If you can live a long life in the future, it will also be thanks to the art of health preservation.

Qinggong is the Taoist art of supernatural movement.

Fist, kick and sword techniques are Taoist methods of defeating the enemy.

Not all Taoists live in seclusion like monks. In times of national crisis or family feud, many Taoists come down from the mountains.

How can you kill the enemy without any skills?
Of course, there were also many who rebelled.

The most famous are the Taiping Dao and the Five Pecks of Rice Dao.

In short, it is easier for people to accept everything if we attribute it to Taoism.

Jia Baoyu was stunned by what he said, and Jia Zheng looked at the boy with an increasingly stern look.

The other members of the Jia family, including the maids and old women, secretly thought that this young Taoist priest was not only an excellent doctor, but from what he said, he was also a little immortal who knew Taoism.

Moreover, Confucian knowledge should not be low.

Thinking of this, his gaze towards Li Jingxiao changed again.

Especially Yuanchun, Yingchun and Tanchun behind the screen.

Li Jingxiao stared at Jia Baoyu in a daze, thinking to himself, is this kid really stupid?
Or are you so young, but you already understand that when you are unhappy or things don't go your way, you have to pretend to be stupid to cover up your ignorance and incompetence?
And avoid punishment at the same time?

He reached out and grasped the boy's wrist, and a stream of true energy passed into his hand, instantly waking the boy up.

Looking at Li Jingxiao, he asked in surprise, "Master, why did I just feel a warm current flowing from your hand, along my hand, all the way to my arm?"

Li Jingxiao smiled and said, "I'm glad that you're alright. Some simple internal training techniques are not worth mentioning to a young man from a wealthy family like you."

After saying this, Li Jingxiao stood up and bowed, ignoring any further questions from Lady Jia, Jia Zheng and the others, and said, "It's getting late, I won't disturb the old lady from resting." He hadn't eaten all afternoon, and it was almost 8 o'clock. For a young man like Li Jingxiao who was still growing, he was really hungry.

When Jia Mu and others saw him touch his stomach, they knew that this was a sign that he was hungry.

He hurriedly stood up and told people to prepare food.

He also asked Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong to accompany him and send him out of Rongqing Hall to have dinner in Rongxi Hall.

After Li Jingxiao left, all the masters and wives of the Jia family in the room had a good impression of him.

Now I know that in addition to his excellent medical skills, he also practices Taoism and studies. It seems that he is good at Taoism and learning.

He has a straightforward personality, otherwise he wouldn't touch his stomach to indicate that he is hungry.

This is rare for a 15-year-old boy.

Of course, the premise is that Li Jingxiao saved Jia Zhu, only then would people think that Li Jingxiao is extraordinary.

Otherwise, a small Taoist priest would be looked up to by the servants, not to mention the master of the Jia family.

Accompanied by a servant, Li Jingxiao came to the front yard of Rongxi Hall and had a meal with Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong.

But Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son, are really interesting.

Jia Zhen asked Jia Rong to worship him as his uncle, and Jia Rong knelt on the ground and kowtowed without hesitation.

Jia Lian didn't even ask whether Zhenwu Temple was related to the Zhengyi Sect.

First of all, you can find out by asking someone, there is no need to ask Li Jingxiao in person.

Secondly, Jia Lian is the legitimate son of the eldest wife in Rongguo Mansion, and he actually doesn't want the second wife to become more powerful.

At that time, the only eligible girl in the Ning and Rong mansions was Yuanchun, the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Rongguo mansion.

If Yingchun were a few years older, Jia Lian, as her brother, would have been eager to marry his own sister Yingchun to Li Jingxiao.

Moreover, Yingchun was born out of wedlock, so she didn't have so many concerns.

After dinner, Li Jingxiao refused the invitation to go to Ningguo Mansion to listen to opera and play.

But he wanted to return to the Taoist temple, but Jia Zhen and Jia Lian refused to let him go.

I could only go to the guest room and meditate and practice.

The night passed quickly, and in 4 hours, or 8 hours, I gained 2.4 points of proficiency, although it was indeed 20% faster than before.

But Li Jingxiao now wants to have more contact with the mandarin ducks.

So as to determine how to gain experience from these 'evil and cunning' women.

The higher the character level, the more attribute points he will have, and his physique, understanding and constitution will increase, so his cultivation speed will be faster.

Moreover, he has a strong foundation and high comprehension ability, which will definitely be beneficial to his medical studies and cultivation.

But Yuanyang should be Lady Jia's personal maid now, so it would be difficult to even get in touch with her alone, let alone ask for her.

As for Li Wan, she was directly excluded by Li Jingxiao.

Jia Yuanchun and Li Jingxiao also thought for a moment and then rejected it.

The granddaughter of the Duke's family marrying a young Taoist priest is just a fantasy.

On the contrary, there is a certain possibility for Xue Baochai.

But if you think about it carefully, the probability is not high.

After thinking about it, I suddenly felt that I could go and see Qin Keqing, who is said to combine all the advantages of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

Last night, when Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Rong were having dinner with him, he learned from Jia Zhen that not only Jia Rong was not married yet, but even Jia Lian had not married Wang Xifeng yet.

If choosing between Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng, I believe 90% of men would choose Qin Keqing.
