Chapter 116, page 115: The Hundred Battles Blade, the Golden Tiger's Roar
My Earth Book is most likely a "martial arts legend".
The next morning.
On the fragrant couch, Ren Qingshan had not yet opened his eyes. With a warm and soft woman in his arms, this thought immediately came to mind.
There is one thing in the Divine Firmament Holy Sect that is related to mountains.
The once-destroyed Kushan Empire also possessed a sword.
Martial arts legends seem to be related to specific regions.
Different martial arts legends may also differ in their power.
Could there be one in the temple at Yin Ruins?
It's hard to say, but it's most likely a fishing scheme. The emperor wouldn't entrust something like that to anyone else.
If the previous Shang Dynasty was associated with the element of water, could the martial arts legends of the Shang Dynasty be related to water? Could they be in charge of rivers, lakes, and seas?
and also:
He possessed the Book of the Earth. If he couldn't survive in the Great Zhou, going to the Western Regions might be a viable option. He could become the ruler of a small kingdom and live a carefree life—fragrant roasted lamb skewers and alluring beauties from the Western Regions.
As for the boasts he made in front of Feng Jianqin last night, about fetching the Kushan sword for her—just listen to what he said while drinking.
If given the chance, and given this sword, she would most likely fall deeply in love with him.
But if I don't become my woman first, why should I give it to you?
She is not a kind person; she just has her own set of logic for doing things.
The world is a dangerous place; whose heart is not unpredictable?
"Stop pretending to be asleep. Copy down the secrets of the Love Aphrodisiac Technique for me, and I'll take it home and pass it on to my wife."
Hearing the two women beside him breathing differently, Ren Qingshan sat up and smiled calmly.
The two people: ? ? ?
She asked with a hint of resentment and difficulty, "Will Officer Feng agree?"
"She's my senior sister, didn't you see last night? I'm Gongshu Ce's disciple, his last disciple, his senior sister's most beloved junior brother. If I asked her for it, how could she refuse? Don't force me to swear!"
Looking at this man with a heart of stone, the two were speechless.
Although brothels are known for their fickle nature, it is quite rare to find a man so cold-hearted before even getting his pants up.
After a while.
Having obtained a handwritten copy of the secret techniques of the Hehuan Sect, Ren Qingshan drifted away.
Passing by a square in the inner city, Ren Qingshan saw a large crowd and stopped to observe.
Upon seeing that they were disciples of the Divine Firmament Holy Sect, they were distributing "Divine Firmament Talismans" to believers under the guise of the Autumn Festival.
The talismans are free, and are said to ward off evil spirits, protect the home, and drive away disasters and evil.
However, the three enormous incense burners were filled with piles of copper coins and gold and silver.
After observing for a while longer, Ren Qingshan discovered a secret: most of the donors were merchants, especially several large chambers of commerce, pharmacies, rice shops, ironware shops, security escort agencies, and so on.
Amassing wealth: The wealthy and powerful contribute money, and the common people follow suit.
As for how the profits will be divided, it's likely that Shenxiao won't share them with the wealthy and powerful.
This is more like protection money paid by businessmen.
The government office did not stop this, but instead sent yamen runners to maintain order.
After staring at it for a while, Ren Qingshan seemed to be deep in thought, then turned and left—"If I were the emperor, I certainly wouldn't tolerate all these martial arts holy sites."
-
Feng Jingxian and Gongshu Ce were undoubtedly staunch royalists. Their discovery and cultivation of me was not without the intention of opposing factions.
To climb to a higher position, the most important thing is to have a firm political stance.
Ren Qingshan reached for the knife at his waist.
The Lu family.
Lu Haichuan was writing invitations for the Xiantian Banquet, using gilded ink, which was quite precious.
His handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and his brushstrokes are swift and agile.
He picked up a piece of paper at random. The date was June 18th, which had been arranged during breakfast that morning. The location was Qingyun Tower, a place where banquets were often held after the martial arts exams. At the same time, Ren Qingshan saw the title in front of his name.
A martial artist with innate talent.
Wu Xiucai.
Disciple of Jiuyang Martial Arts School.
Chief Constable of Huaiyin County.
-
Owner of Qingshan Rice Shop.
Since it's a dinner party, of course all of this should be written down; this is the route I took to get here.
But with so many titles—have I become Da Bing?
With a silent complaint in his heart, Ren Qingshan laughed and said, "Uncle Lu, wait a moment. The letter of invitation needs to be accompanied by another title. Gongshu Ce, the head instructor of Jiuyang Martial Arts School, is preparing to accept me as his disciple. The innate banquet and the apprenticeship banquet will be held together."
Lu Haichuan's pen trembled slightly.
He immediately scrapped the invitation, looked up, and his chubby face beamed with joy: "Lord Gongshu? Great! Excellent! Hahaha, I'll rewrite it, rewrite the whole thing!"
"How about you add another one, Lu Haichuan's son-in-law?"
Ren Qingshan joked with a smile.
He waved his hand repeatedly, declining the offer. There was no need for that. For a merchant family, making a fortune quietly was enough.
As Lu Haichuan wrote the name card today, he repeatedly reviewed the whole process of his daughter's acquaintance with Ren Qingshan. He felt that life is unpredictable and fortune and misfortune are intertwined. His daughter's entry into the Divine Firmament Holy Sect did bring a lot of trouble, but if it hadn't happened, she would not have been able to get to know Ren Qingshan.
In the following days, Ren Qingshan practiced his martial arts during the day and went out late at night.
They went to the miasma forest at the Tiger's Mouth and, like ants carrying food, moved the silver melon made of 700,000 taels of silver, along with the two thunder-patterned iron swords, back to their country estate.
A furnace was set up in the cellar to remelt the silver.
The other two places Hu Shanlang mentioned: Under the cliff and the big rock, there was more than 10,000 taels of gold, which he had secretly kept over the years.
Meanwhile, in the cellar of the widow's house where his lover lived, there was a batch of pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, and about 20,000 taels of gold and silver. These supplies were probably meant for his sons, but Ren Qingshan only secretly took the pills and manuals, as well as most of the gold and silver—leaving a way out for himself.
The recast silver was still used to buy land from the government offices in a steady, continuous manner.
Now that he knew it was the "Book of the Earth," a martial arts legend, Ren Qingshan became even more cautious. He wondered if this treasure had ever been famous throughout the world.
Fortunately, he had thought things through carefully and started a rice shop from the beginning, acquiring land openly and honestly.
this day.
noon.
At the manor's training ground, Ren Yaohui and Lu Jingsong led a dozen or so teenagers in practicing their boxing techniques meticulously.
Ren Qingshan integrated all his martial arts knowledge, taking the essence and discarding the dross, and created a set of introductory stance training and boxing techniques, which he named "Mountain Fist Eight Strikes".
Among introductory methods, it is considered superior, and can be cultivated to the late Silver Blood stage to generate true qi.
As for the True Qi Technique, my eyesight is good enough, but there are already excellent examples before me. The Imperial Court's "Basic True Qi Technique" was created by the Emperor with the combined efforts of the entire nation, so I don't need to add anything unnecessary. Besides, this technique requires approval before it can be passed on privately.
The Eight Strikes of Mountain Fist are enough for them to practice for several years.
back yard.
Ren Qingshan is practicing the "Hundred Battles Saber Heart Method" and the "Golden Tiger Roar".
The heart and lungs are extremely fragile flesh and blood, but once the internal organs are tempered and enter the innate state, the power of these two organs can be fully stimulated.
The Hundred Battles Blade Technique pumps the heart's blood to its limit and explodes true qi to its limit, unleashing up to nine times the combat power!
This sword technique is all-encompassing, consisting of 108 moves, all of which are killing skills honed on the battlefield.
The Golden Tiger Roar is a lung qi stimulation exercise, consisting of three forms.
The beginner's technique is "Gengjin Xiao", which can concentrate the sound into an extreme point and roar out a strike that can pierce through the air and penetrate stone. Its power is comparable to that of a bow and arrow, and it can be fired instantly.
The second move is "Tiger Shakes the Mountain," which is like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, overwhelming all directions. While its single-point damage is not as great as the first move, it can cover an area of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in radius. Especially in frontal attacks, it can kill martial artists without true qi!
The third move, "Golden Tiger Roar," is the highest level of this combat technique. It is silent, yet it can directly damage a person's vital energy and internal organs.
Ren Qingshan knew, of course, that this third move was similar to "ultrasound." Although there was no such term in the martial arts world, the predecessors who created this technique had explored and put it into practice through their experience and wisdom.
With the comprehension of a grandmaster, Ren Qingshan mastered both techniques in less than ten days.
This made him marvel once again at the wonder of the book.
Those below the innate level can transform the earth's energy into qi and blood, rapidly elevating their spiritual realm.
Beyond innate qualities, Qi and blood remain important, but the importance of comprehension is even more pronounced.
Walk on two legs.
A legend of martial arts, forged from martial arts myths.
The Book of the Ground is definitely one of the legends of the martial arts world!
It's just unknown which lineage it came from.
Ren Qingshan recalled the original owner's entire life from childhood to adulthood, as well as his impressions of his father and grandfather, but these seemed unlikely. Instead, he remembered a peddler who sold odds and ends in the village when the original owner was a child. This peddler traveled the streets and alleys collecting many trinkets, and the original owner bled profusely during that time.
And perhaps it was the chance of the time traveler that led the Earth Book, residing in the darkness, to look down on the "natives" and choose him.
These two possibilities are the most likely, but the specifics remain to be seen.
June 18th.
Qingyun Tower.
Ren Qingshan wore a luxurious blue robe embroidered with matching cloud patterns, looking dignified and ready for today's Innate Banquet.
Invitations were sent to all the merchants in the city with whom they had any dealings, as well as disciples and friends from martial arts schools, renowned innate experts from the righteous path in the city, officials from Fengcheng Prefecture, disciples of the Divine Firmament Holy Sect, friends from Huaiyin County, and Gongshu Ce's social circle.
The name given innately is indeed useful.
According to Kang Mianzhi, the senior disciple of the martial arts school, in the past ten years, only seventeen Xiantian talents have been born in Fengcheng Prefecture, averaging less than two per year. There are also differences between good and bad years, and in some years, there are not even a single Xiantian.
-
The Lu family was forced to pay 30,000 taels of silver. After the invitation was sent, the disciples of Shenxiao never mentioned it again. Liu Jingshu came to apologize to Lu Qingyi and presented her with generous gifts, saying that she had been ignorant in the past and hoped to turn hostility into friendship.
Lan Chonglou of the Lan family, who had previously sent a visiting card but failed to receive it, personally came to reply to this one, displaying an extremely enthusiastic attitude.
Tongzhi Chu Tiankuo also agreed to come.
Prefect Wu Shaoqin accepted the invitation but did not respond.
Today, of course, is an exceptionally glorious day.
However, Ren Qingshan was well aware that today's wedding was like an ordinary wedding. On the day itself, everything was fine, with the groom being the most important. But how they would live their lives afterward was a matter of everyone having to use their own unique methods.
