Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 135

The red sun is just rising, shooting out golden light.

Outside Yongning City, Zhu Huaishan boarded the southbound carriage, poked his head out of the carriage, and waved at Zhao Lin.

"My apprentice, don't send it off, go to the sect earlier."

Zhao Lin nodded heavily, "Master, when are you coming back?"

"In two years, I'll pass on the exercise and prescription to Gao Yuan, and I'll come when he can support Liuhemen."

"Then take care on the road."

"Don't worry, Master, this old bone can still stand the toss..."

The coachman swung his whip and drove the horse, and the wheels turned rapidly.

Zhao Lin stood there for a long time, until the carriage turned into a small black spot, then turned and walked into the city.

Yongning City is the largest state capital of the northern states, with millions of people living there. There are thirteen gates in the city alone, and nine gates in the inner city, which is known as "nine inside and thirteen outside".

If you take a detour to Xingyunzong from outside the city, you will have to walk at least half an hour longer.

Zhao Lin walked out of the city, glanced at the distant mountains, made sure that he was heading in the right direction, and started to gallop in big strides.

It took about three sticks of incense to rush to the foot of the mountain.

Xingyunzong is located in a place surrounded by peaks, with verdant and secluded trees, approaching the mountain gate, a quiet and simple atmosphere blows over us.

Today the place is clean, only a few disciples of Xingyunzong are patrolling in front of the mountain.

"This talented man is Junior Brother Zhao Lin?"

A man in black was sitting in front of the stone steps. When he saw Zhao Lin, he immediately got up to greet him, clasped his fists and said.

The man was in his thirties, of medium height, tall and straight, with piercing eyes.

Zhao Lin thought to himself that he had just come to Yongning City and had no acquaintances. How did this person find him?
"I'm Zhao Lin, do you know me?"

Ma Chaoxian grinned, "I, Ma Chaoxian, are the owner of the Haoyue Martial Arts Academy in Yongning City. Dare I ask, are you a new student of the Dance Elephant Academy?"

Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows, vaguely guessed the other party's intention, and said, "Exactly, what's the matter?"

Ma Chaoxian said with a smile: "Our Haoyue Martial Arts School was founded not long ago, and we want to hire Junior Brother Zhao to be the teacher. I don't know what to do?"

Zhao Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is your martial arts school?"

Dujiao is equivalent to a visiting professor in his previous life, and he goes to the martial arts hall to teach people how to practice martial arts from time to time.

Generally speaking, Dujiao are mostly well-known warriors in the local area, and the martial arts school borrows their name to recruit and attract apprentices.

The more apprentices there are in the martial arts school, the more tuition fees are charged, and it is also convenient to expand business contacts.

The disciples of Xingyunzong Dance Elephant Academy are naturally a pretty good signboard.

Zhao Lin didn't refuse outright because he really needed money.

He originally saved a lot of money when he was in Qinghe County, and the rewards he got for suppressing the bandits alone amounted to more than a thousand taels.

However, the expenses in the past month have also been huge.

When leaving Qinghe County, Zhao Lin gave Liang Song 200 taels so that he could continue to practice martial arts and not have to go out to work for the martial arts hall too early.

The whole family traveled a long distance to come here, and spent a lot of money on carriages and horses for accommodation along the way.

When I came to Yongning City, I bought a house, and I have to pay money to practice martial arts in Xingyunzong...

Although I still have savings on hand, I can only go in and out, and sooner or later I will run out.

Doing Dujiao in the martial arts school is indeed a good choice. It is neither dangerous nor takes too much energy.

Ma Chaoxian observed his words and expressions, he knew there was something to be said with a smile, "The Martial Arts Hall is on Zhidao Street in Qingliangmen, not far from here."

"As long as Junior Brother Zhao is willing to come, our martial arts school is willing to offer 100% dry shares, plus [-] taels of tea money per month."

Zhao Lin thought about it and felt that the conditions were good, but there were some things that had to be explained in advance.

"I am a disciple of the Xingyun Sect, and martial arts cannot be passed on to outsiders..."

"Of course!"

Ma Chaoxian said with emotion, "We will definitely not make such a difficult request! As long as Junior Brother Zhao comes over a few days a month to give advice to the apprentices, it will be enough to show off."

After speaking, he took out a bag of silver from his pocket, "This is the tea money for the first two months, please accept it with a smile."

Zhao Lin didn't reach out to pick it up, but shook his head and said, "Don't rush to collect the money, I will talk about it after I visit you someday."

You have to see this kind of thing before you can rest assured, otherwise it won't be worth it if you meet people with ulterior motives and use the name of Xingyunzong to bluff and deceive.

"Alright, Junior Brother Zhao is a cautious person, so I won't bother you here."

Ma Chaoxian didn't force it, put away the money, took his leave and left.

Zhao Lin walked up to the mountain gate, showed the jade token to the gatekeeper disciples, asked where the Elephant Dance Academy was, and walked up the mountain.

There are many stretches of buildings scattered on both sides of the mountain road, with blue bricks and black tiles, elegant and chic.

The outer courtyard is near the foot of the mountain, the inner courtyard is halfway up the mountain, and the top of the mountain is the residence of the head, elders, deacons and other high-level officials of Xingyunzong.

The Dancing Elephant Courtyard is not far from the inner courtyard. It is divided into five areas as a whole, which looks like a huge starfish from a distance.

Zhao Lin knew that the Dancing Elephant Academy had five divisions: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, so he guessed that it should be divided according to this division.

There is a lobby in the middle of "Starfish", which is empty, with a large mahogany table in the middle, and a middle-aged man with gray temples is sitting behind.

When going down the mountain yesterday, Hu Xuancheng had already told the disciples what to do. Zhao Lin came to the Dancing Elephant Academy and walked directly into the lobby.

"you are?"

The middle-aged man saw Zhao Lin coming in and asked.

"New disciple, Zhao Lin." Zhao Lin said, showing the jade tablet.

The middle-aged man let out an "oh" and said with a smile, "I know you. Elder Shui Jing specially told you to come to the Shui Jing Department today."

Zhao Lin heard something in his words and asked, "Senior brother, do you mean that I can choose other divisions?"

"Exactly."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The human body has yin-yang and five-element qi, and most people's five qi are balanced. It doesn't make much difference which major you choose."

"But there are also a small group of people who are naturally suitable for certain exercises. Therefore, some disciples enter the Qi state, and their cultivation has stagnated for many years, so they switch to other exercises."

"What's the result?" Zhao Lin asked.

"Nine out of ten bets." The middle-aged man sighed, as if deeply touched.

"I'll go to the water mirror department."

Zhao Lin discussed with his master yesterday, and his martial arts progressed smoothly, so there is no need to change the exercises, it would be a waste of effort.

"Okay, give me the jade token."

The middle-aged man asked for Zhao Lin's jade card, took out a carving knife from the drawer, quickly carved Zhao Lin's name on the jade card, and then carved the word "water" beside it.

When Zhao Lin saw it, he felt quite emotional.

The middle-aged man looks like a warrior at first glance, but now he is working as a civilian.

This is the case with martial arts, one either cultivates all the way to the Yuan realm and becomes a martial arts master in the eyes of the world, or stops at a certain realm and starts to indulge in mundane things.

The middle-aged man carved the jade tablet and returned it to Zhao Lin, saying: "The monthly fee for learning martial arts is 20 taels of medicinal materials. It should be paid for a year."

Liuhemen's tuition fee is only 20 taels a month, but Xingyunzong costs [-] taels.

It's not that Xingyunzong wants to make money from this, it's because the family has a big business, and there are thousands of disciples alone. If all the expenses are borne by the sect, it is estimated that the disciples can only go out to find a way to survive like martial arts apprentices, and cannot concentrate. Practice martial arts.

"Can I pay half a year first?"

Zhao Lin thought for a while and asked, maybe after half a year he has already broken through to the blood realm, wouldn't it be a loss if he handed over for a year?
