Chapter 25 The Goddess's Teaching
Grandma Wen wiped away the tears in her eyes, and said with a smile on her face covered in wrinkles and pockmarks:
"I have no children in my life. I originally wanted to accept an apprentice before I die. Fortunately, God has eyes, so that I can accept an adopted son, and I will die with my eyes closed! My godmother wants to teach you a set of internal skills, so are you willing to learn?"
This is how good people will be rewarded! I recognized my godmother and turned out to be a martial arts master.
Mu Xiaotian felt a pie fall from the sky, and happened to hit his head, and quickly replied: "Godmother, I'm willing to learn."
"good!"
Grandma Wen said with praise: "A man must have the courage of a man! Godmother will teach you the first picture of "The Emperor's Art"."
"Learn this technique!" Mu Xiaotian felt a little confused. He had just married a stunning wife and was about to wait two years later to sow the seeds!
Besides, I was an orphan in my previous life, and my parents died in this life and became an orphan again. Now that I am a human being in two lifetimes, I can’t even have a last resort!
"Godmother, I'm still young and have no children yet! Can you teach me other martial arts?" Mu Xiaotian begged with a smile.
Grandma Wen's face changed and she said in a serious tone: "Tian'er, weren't you already bridal chamber last night? Before you practice "The Emperor's Art", can you take a few more concubines, are you still afraid of not having children?"
My mother! You are indeed a martial arts world. You speak so heroically, but my wife is still young. Her close maid Xiao Cui is only 16 years old like her. Even if I ask me to take her as my concubine, I can't do it!
Mu Xiaotian could only honestly explain: "Godmother, as the saying goes, a woman has a baby is like passing the gates of hell! My wife is only 16 years old, and her body has not yet developed completely, giving birth will be even more dangerous for her, so I didn't ask for her body last night, and I'm talking about it after two years."
Grandma Wen was like hearing a joke about a fantasy. Women in the Western Zhou Dynasty basically got married at the age of 14. The God Continent has been through this for tens of thousands of years. In the past, some dynasties had to reproduce the population due to frequent wars. The law stipulates that women must get married at the age of 13.
In fact, many poor families cannot afford to raise many children, so they have already married their daughters and still have children.
It is the first time I have heard that a man thinks a woman is young after living such a long time.
Grandma Wen looked at Mu Xiaotian with a strange look.
"Godmother, why are you looking at me like this?" Mu Xiaotian got goosebumps all over her body when she saw it.
Grandma Wen continued to look and said, "Tian'er, my godmother will take you to see Doctor Xi. His excellent medical skills should be able to cure your Yang deficiency disease."
"My yang is weak? I still need to treat it?" Mu Xiaotian was stunned. Where is this?
Isn’t this yang deficiency an impotence?
Mu Xiaotian said with a wry smile: "Godmother, I have no problems in my body, absolutely nothing wrong!"
Grandma Wen said funnyly: "Good boy, my godmother believes in you. However, due to the grudge between the founding emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty and my Fantasy Moon Sect a thousand years ago, he later sent a large army to encircle my Fantasy Moon Sect. My Fantasy Moon Sect was seriously injured. The disciples in the Sect who escaped from the encirclement could only escape from the Western Zhou Dynasty. A large number of secret books in the Sect were destroyed. Apart from this book "The Emperor's Art" was taken out, there was no other martial arts suitable for men to practice, so my Sect will no longer allow the Emperor's Art to be spread."
"Godmother, didn't you say that this technique cannot be passed on? Why are you willing to teach me again?"
Grandma Wen said happily and excitedly: "Tian'er, you don't think I'm ugly, you are willing to regard me as your godmother. I'm very happy. In order to let you practice martial arts well, I can teach you anything. If there is a copy of "The Emperor's Art" in the Fantasy Moon Sect, I would rather make mistakes and steal the secret book for my son to practice! Unfortunately, there is only an isolated version of "The Emperor's Art". With Tang Xiaotian's death, there is nowhere to be found. I want to steal my godmother, but I have nowhere to steal my godmother."
Grandma Wen’s heartfelt words and the emotions revealed by her true feelings are like a great mother who makes all sacrifices for her son, which touches Mu Xiaotian.
Grandma Wen continued, "Tian'er, if you are willing to learn, I can only teach you the first chapter of "The Emperor's Art" I remember. I just read the eight chapters of "The Emperor's Art" at the beginning, but I didn't remember them.
If you don’t want to learn this technique, I won’t force you. After all, if you practice this technique, if you are discovered by the court, you will definitely be chased by the Western Zhou court.”
Mu Xiaotian was very confused. On one hand, he had profound internal skills and mental methods, and on the other hand, he had no descendants after practicing! Should he learn or not?
Mu Xiaotian thought for a long time.
"Madan, what are you afraid of! Since God has sent me to this world and allowed me to be exposed to such magical martial arts, how can I feel at ease if I don't learn from it?
Besides, I also have the innate spiritual spring in Penglai Cave. It is a heaven-defying thing that can live dead people with flesh and bones. Can it not solve the problem of not having children after practicing "The Emperor's Art"?"
Mu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Godmother, I am willing to learn "The Emperor's Art."
Grandma Wen smiled and praised: "Okay! Tian'er, I will teach you the first exercise picture in "The Emperor's Art". Although there are no other eight exercise pictures, your meridians are different from those of ordinary people. Maybe you can still cultivate internal energy. However, before teaching your exercises, I want you to swear to God first."
Mu Xiaotian knelt down without thinking, raised his right hand three fingers and said, "I, Mu Xiaotian, swear that I will never spread the skills of "The Emperor's Technique". If I violate it, I will be thundered by the sky."
"Tian'er, what I want you to make is not this vow." Grandma Wen said speechlessly.
"hey-hey!"
Mu Xiaotian grabbed the back of his head, and this time he was embarrassed, and asked embarrassedly: "Godmother, what oath do you want me to make?"
Grandma Wen's eyes were solemn and said with a serious expression: "Tian'er, do you know why I hate Tang Xiaotian so much? I have been chasing him for more than 20 years!"
Mu Xiaotian shook his head.
Grandma Wen gritted her teeth and said, "If he just married a wife and took concubines, no matter how many concubines he found, I would not hate him. What I am cruel is that he harmed the good girls and didn't want them. A girl who had lost her chastity before marriage would bring shame to the whole family, and many people were forced to commit suicide by their families by their parents, or were driven out of the family.
Tang Xiaotian only has the title of the girls who were harmed by him, even if he takes them as his concubines and finds a place to settle them, the girls will have hope of living and will not be forced to commit suicide."
Although Mu Xiaotian, who came from the modern world, knew that ancient people value chastity in particular, he still couldn't understand why his parents forced his daughter to commit suicide.
"Godmother, as their biological parents, are they willing to force their daughter to commit suicide?"
Grandma Wen sighed and said, "Tian'er, if a man, a third and sixth matchmaker, marry a wife, and the wife will not be seen at night in the bridal chamber, according to the convention, the woman's family will be asked to send her wife's sister over the next day as compensation. If the wife has no sister, the wife's parents must kneel down to apologize the next day, and then pay a few times the bride price and take her daughter away."
Mu Xiaotian understood that if a girl who has lost her chastity cannot get married, she will not bring great benefits to her family.
Even if they are sold to rich people as maids, others will choose young and beautiful girls as maids. The parents of the girl who loses her chastity will be ridiculed by neighbors and will not be tolerated by the entire family. The fate of this girl who loses her chastity is destined to be miserable.
"Hey! They were born at the wrong time. If they were born in the 21st century of the modern world, they would not have such pain!" Mu Xiaotian said in his heart, recalling various past events in his previous life.
Grandma Wen stared at Mu Xiaotian's eyes kneeling on the ground and said, "Tian'er, a real man has three wives and four concubines is not a problem. You will definitely meet the woman you like in the future. I want you to swear to God that if you insult a woman's innocence, you must give this woman a title, whether it is to marry a wife and take a concubine or take it as a concubine."
Listening to Grandma Wen's words, Mu Xiaotian knew that she didn't want her to repeat the same mistake and became a flower-picking thief like Tang Xiaotian.
My woman must be given a title!
Mu Xiaotian swears with a heavy expression: "I, Mu Xiaotian, swore to the sky that I will definitely give the woman who has been insulted by me. If I violate it, I will be struck by lightning."
"Good boy! Get up quickly." Grandma Wen said with satisfaction.
Mu Xiaotian stood up and looked at Grandma Wen and asked nervously: "Godmother, if I was framed with someone else's concubine and worshipped the world together in confusion, is this considered giving this concubine the title of wife? Is it considered my wife or is it still someone else's concubine?"
Grandma Wen was stunned for a moment. She had never heard of what Mu Xiaotian said. She didn't know if she should answer, and said vaguely:
"This should be considered your wife! Even if you are framed, you are married after all, under the witness of heaven and earth."
After thinking about it, he continued, "But this situation should not happen. If this concubine was a loyal and virtuous woman, she would definitely keep her wife's word by death, because the virtuous woman would not serve her husband."
Mu Xiaotian looked a little uneasy. According to the servant Lai Fu, Bi Shuiyao was originally a lady from an official family, and her head must have been imprisoned by the feudal ideas of this era.
Mu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel worried that a woman imprisoned by feudal thought would have a high chance of seeking a short sword for the so-called wife-guarding way.
Grandma Wen felt that the question Mu Xiaotian asked was a bit strange, and she felt that her godson seemed to have a story!
"Tian'er, if there is such a thing, I think that as long as you like it and you are willing to admit that she is your wife, then snatch her over and be your own wife. Otherwise, this woman committed suicide to keep her wife's word, and you will feel at ease?"
"I don't know if I should admit her as my wife!"
Mu Xiaotian felt very confused inside, and he didn't know what to do in the future, nor did he know how to face his mother-in-law.
Although I worshiped her, they were all framed. How could I take it seriously?
But if you watch her commit suicide in front of you to keep the so-called wife, do you save yourself or not?
How to save it?
Grandma Wen saw Mu Xiaotian's inner struggle and said cleanly: "Tian'er, men should have the domineering spirit of men. Don't say that she is just a concubine, so what if she is someone else's wife? Let me tell you, as long as you like her, take her over and let her give birth to children for you in the future, as long as you are sincere to her in the future."
Mu Xiaotian was stunned when he heard this: "Godmother! I also want to have the domineering aura you said, but I dare not take it away!"
Mu Xiaotian was even more depressed when he heard this. Although he realized that Fu Wanqing had no affection for his concubine, Aunt Bi, and he wanted to give her away. But after all, she was the mother of his wife Fu Yueling. Can I take it away?
