Chapter 5 Green Hat Comrade

  Time flies, and one month has passed in the blink of an eye.

  Du He had been living in the Tang Dynasty for a month and had roughly adapted to the customs of life in the Tang Dynasty. Although he had not fully integrated into this era, Du He already considered himself a Tang person.

  This month, Du He devoted himself to the study of martial arts, aside from following his mother Zhang Shi in learning literature and calligraphy.

  Du He's body was too poor, already fifteen years old, but the physical quality was like a ten-year-old child, with no strength at all, weak and unable to withstand the wind, making Du He very worried.

  Luckily, Du He was very familiar with the martial arts in "Liu Xiang Bao Jian", and he made up for his physical shortcomings with his own experience. In his spare time, he also trained his body.

  January is neither long nor short.

  Du He relied on the experience of later generations to automatically operate "Wu Qi Chao Yuan".

  Rotating "five qi to yuan" seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.

  "Wu Qi Chao Yuan" may not be the strongest internal skill in the world, but it is certainly the most bizarre.

  Chu Liuxiang's unparalleled lightness kung fu in the world owes its greatest credit to his nose.

  Chu Liuxiang's nasal cavity was different from others, making it difficult for him to breathe. If a person's nose is not breathing smoothly, they will feel dizzy and swollen all day, which is more painful than any other illness. Therefore, Chu Liuxiang created a special internal skill, this skill has no particular benefits, but after learning it, when practiced, people can use their skin pores to breathe.

  Hence, Chu Liu Xiang's lightness skill was unmatched in the world, and he didn't need to change his breath.

  Duhe's task is to use pore breathing to replace nasal breathing, making pore breathing a habit, so that internal energy automatically circulates, even when sleeping or doing things without stopping. As long as this habit is formed, no matter what Duhe does, his internal energy will be circulating and constantly practicing, which naturally has great benefits for the improvement of martial arts.

  Du He's original body had long been accustomed to this habit, but this body was inferior and couldn't do it for the time being.

  Du He made a great effort to change the habit of nasal breathing, allowing the "Five Qi Returning to Yuan" method to operate automatically in his body.

  Now his qinggong is no longer as astonishing and shocking as it was in the past, but he has also gained a certain level of skill.

  "It's time to see the outside world!" Du He muttered to himself, for the sake of practicing, he hadn't even stepped out of the gate of Cai Guogong's mansion in a month.

  That night, at dinner time, Du He said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I've fully recovered, so I'll go to Hongwen Academy tomorrow!" Du He wanted to blend in with this world and make friends to see the outside world was a must.

  As for the outside world, Du He is completely unaware, so school is the best place to go.

  Du Ruhui and Zhang's wife exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with worried expressions.

  Du He's body was fine, how could they not know? It's just that Du He never mentioned the matter of studying, so the two elders still thought that Du He was troubled by heart disease and didn't dare to go to the Hongwen Temple to see Princess Chang Le and her entourage.

  Considering that Du He is no longer idle, completing his homework on time every day as arranged by the Zhang family, the two elders thought of him and did not plan to force him, so they let Du He "recuperate" in the mansion.

  This time seeing him proactively ask to go to Hongwen Hall, each of them showed a worried look.

  Du He didn't know that the two old men's thoughts were so complicated, and thought they were worried that he would run away from school as usual, without regard for his proper duties. He smiled and said: "Father and mother, rest assured, I already understand what to do, and won't let you worry."

  Listening to Du He's words so lightly, Er Lao Ye could only agree to it.

  Du Ruhui said: "Your soul loss syndrome has not seen any improvement, tomorrow your father will take you there!"

  Du He indeed did not know where Hongwen Hall was located, nodded and agreed.

  Hongwen Academy is located in the Ministry of Rites, established in the fourth year of Wude, with a collection of over 200,000 volumes. It sets up scholars to be in charge of proofreading and collating books, publishing corrected ancient books, and correcting errors. One director is appointed to oversee the affairs of the academy. There are dozens of students, all selected from the imperial family, nobles, and high-ranking officials' sons, who study with scholars to learn classics, history, calligraphy, and literature.

  Du Ru Hui sent Du He to the outside of Hongwen Temple and reminded him: "If you are not willing, Second Brother does not need to force it."

  Du He smiled calmly and said, "It's nothing more than studying and reading books, barely passing is not a problem, but rather what I like in my heart." This Hongwen Academy is like China's Peking University or Tsinghua University, belonging to the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty. As a person from a later generation, as a graduate student of history, Du He has long admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and being able to enter the highest institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty to study its culture is truly a rare opportunity.

  Du Ruhui saw that Du He's smile was completely genuine, and thinking of his son's changes over the past few days, he felt a great comfort in his heart and left with a happy smile.

  Perhaps it was close to class time, and there were more than a dozen boys on the same road as Du He. One by one, they avoided Du He, unwilling to be with him, and some even pointed at his back.

  It seems that scoundrel's interpersonal relationship is not bad after all!

  Du He endured the hardships of his ancestor Du He Na Er Shi Zu, and with a vicious heart, he asked him ten times, but he was naturally carefree and didn't take it to heart. He walked alone to the place pointed out by Du Ru Hui.

  Du He walked through several corridors, and in front of him was a large courtyard, surrounded by a wall as high as one person from west to east. The courtyard was filled with green bamboo, and the wind blowing through the leaves made a rustling sound, creating another atmosphere.

  The front wall has a circular archway, on which is embedded a stone plaque with the four characters "Listen to the Waves Academy".

  "It's here!" Du He looked at the receipt with the three words "Li Shimin" written on it, and under the name was Li Shimin's seal. He secretly whistled in admiration, thinking that if this were to be sold in later generations, it would easily fetch 180 million.

  "Brother Qinglian!"

  Du He was still admiring the handwriting of the Tang Emperor when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder and started chatting with him.

  Qinglian is Du He's courtesy name. Generally speaking, people would only receive a courtesy name from an elder after they had undergone the capping ceremony, but there were exceptions, just like Du He.

  It is said that on the eve of Du He's birth, Zhang Shi dreamed of a lump of mud, and as time passed, a beautiful lotus flower grew out of the mud.

  Ancient people believed in trusting dreams, and Du Ruhui was no exception. He immediately named his newborn son He, with the courtesy name Qinglian, seemingly hoping he would be like a lotus flower that rises from the mud without being stained.

  But looking at Du He's behavior, it seems that he has failed to live up to this elegant name.

  Du He turned his head to look at the approaching person, and it was a young man about the same age as him, wearing a blue long shirt, with a kerchief tied around his head, warmly embracing him, raising an eyebrow and winking, being extremely affectionate.

  "Huh...... who are you?" Du He had no memory of this young man at all.

  Young man painfully shouted: "No way, Qing Lian brother, you even forgot about me? I am Xiao Di, who with you in the brothel beheaded a chicken and burned yellow paper to swear an oath of brotherhood, Fang Yi Ai!"

  House bequeathed love!

  Du He stared at this gentleman, this great green hat comrade, one of the strongest women in history, the most powerful representative of extramarital affairs, the husband of Gao Yang Princess, and the vanguard of green hat comrades, with a look of admiration.
