Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 540 Dragon Bones
Shi Taigong had his calculations, and Yan Xu also had his own plans.

Water Margin is like Dream of the Red Chamber, disguised as an earthly story, but full of myths underneath.

There is no need to mention the 108 generals who were born from the Demon Star. Each of them is like a star god. Even if only a wisp of demonic energy descends to the mortal world, their roots are extraordinary.

Not to mention the Heaven, Lingshan and the Underworld, which Yan Xu vaguely sensed but did not dare to delve into.

Even though Master Luo only appeared a few times but shocked everyone every time, he was at least a true immortal on land.

To put it bluntly, the entire Water Margin is more like the gods and Buddhas in heaven playing a game of chess or performing a play. I just don't know whether it is the Romance of the Gods or Journey to the West.

No matter what kind of drama it is, as a foreigner, if he dares to go on stage and make trouble, he will probably not have a good ending.

But if you indirectly add more drama to the characters on stage, it may not be a bad idea, as long as the reward is high enough.

Yan Xu is already very experienced in this regard, it’s just a matter of accepting disciples.

Shi Jin is relatively good among the heroes of Water Margin. If Shi Taigong had not died early, he would not have ended up with his family destroyed and becoming a bandit.

Speaking of which, when I was young, I read Water Margin and it was very exciting. I killed those who bullied me, those who humiliated me, I killed them, those who were rich I killed, those who were noble I killed. Anyway, I would kill anyone I didn't like.

When you look back after entering society, the so-called Brother Song Jiang seems so hypocritical. He is no different from the boss who asks you about your well-being and if you can work overtime. Many heroes do despicable things under the name of heroes. It is a big signboard to act in the name of justice, but how many people take it seriously.

Looking back in middle age, what matters is power and profit. No matter in the court or among the outlaws, slogans are shouted loudly, and those who die are either innocent people or fools who die for fame and fortune. In the end, those who benefit are those who contribute the least and are the most evil.

Generally speaking, the older I get, the less I like Water Margin. On the contrary, Romance of the Three Kingdoms becomes more and more interesting the more I appreciate it.

The next morning, out of habit, Yan Xu simply washed up. He could now be described as having skin and bones as delicate as a fairy, and with the help of his spiritual power, he was not easily stained by dust and dirt. However, he could not change his habit in a short time.

After changing into light clothes, Yan Xu stood in the yard and slowly practiced Tai Chi.

He has never given up this style of boxing, because Tai Chi health preservation is too deeply rooted in people's minds, and the boxing spirit in it is also not bad even when used in spiritual practice.

With Yan Xu's current level, this Tai Chi has long gone beyond the framework of internal martial arts. Even people who don't know much about it will be impressed by its artistic conception, such as the Shi father and son.

Shi Jin liked to wield spears and sticks, and his boxing skills were not bad, but this was the first time he saw such a slow boxing style, which was hard to ignore. He always felt that it was extraordinary, so he became itchy.

"My name is Jiuwenlong Shi Jin. Please give me some advice, Taoist priest!" Shi Jin finally couldn't help it. Without waiting for Shi Taigong to hold him back, he jumped into the yard, got ready to punch, and didn't intend to give people a chance to refuse.

Yan Xu didn't even raise his eyelids and just focused on punching. Shi Jin's punch inexplicably staggered before it could get close to him. It was as if he had stepped on empty air. He staggered forward a few steps, and finally fell to the ground with his head dizzy, and he was stunned.

Even if he was knocked away by a punch, Shi Jin would not look like this, because he simply couldn't understand why this happened?

Since he couldn't figure it out, he tried again. Shi Jin jumped up and used all his martial arts skills, but he couldn't even get close to the enemy, not to mention hit him. Instead, he rolled on the ground and had no idea what was going on.

"Witchcraft, this is witchcraft!" Shi Jin panted, supported his knees, raised one hand and pointed at Yan Xu.

"Hehe." Yan Xu just smiled, put his hands behind his back and didn't say anything, but most of his energy was focused on Shi Jin, sensing every change in his body.

Although Shi Jin did not show any extraordinary side during the entire process, under Yan Xu's subtle perception, some of his hidden characteristics that he himself was not aware of were revealed.

Shi Jin has excellent muscles and bones, and can be said to be a natural martial arts genius, but his real talent lies in the dragon spine transformed from dragon tendons and bones.

If a master of internal martial arts wants to fully activate the spine, this big dragon, he has to spend years of hard work.

This requires one to have this talent and practice correctly, otherwise one will never reach this level in his lifetime. Shi Jin was born with this talent, and not only was he born with it, but in order to accommodate his now incapable muscles, bones and flesh, he had to lurk in the abyss and dare not break free of his shackles, otherwise once he was fully alive, his flesh and blood would be torn apart.

Although Yan Xu's ghost body was not as good as Shi Jin's dragon bones and tendons, it was still not enough. It could only be regarded as an ordinary protagonist template, not worthy of the identity of a star god, even if it was just a mortal incarnation in the world.

Yan Xu did not seem disappointed. If the secret of the Star God could be discovered so easily, it would not be worth his effort.

"The Taoist priest is truly a great man. My son has been naughty by nature, and has loved to wield spears and sticks since he was young. Although he has learned a lot of martial arts, he has looked down on other people. It was not until today that he realized how far behind he was." Shi Taigong first bowed his hands to apologize, then said with a smile.

This was because he was afraid that Yan Xu would feel unhappy, so he apologized first and then gave him some compliments.

In this way, even those who are narrow-minded will not turn hostile on the spot, and it will give Shi Taigong time to make amends.

"Your son has good talent, but it's a pity that he didn't learn the true teachings." Adults should be brief and not say too much, so Yan Xu shook his sleeves and left.

He asked the farmhands to prepare the best meals for the guests and fetched the best fabrics to ask the skillful women in the farm to sew two Taoist robes for them. Then Master Shi came over and grabbed Shi Jin, who was constantly imitating Yan Xu's movements, and asked seriously.

"My son, would you like to take the Taoist priest as your master?"

Shi Taigong's words were made after careful consideration and were not spoken on impulse.

In Shi Taigong's opinion, Shi Jin was good in every way except his habit of practicing martial arts, which gave him a headache.

Now is not a time of chaos, so practicing martial arts is useless except for causing trouble.

Moreover, the status of military men in this dynasty is low, so it is better for them to learn to read and write and pass the imperial examinations.

Mr. Shi believed that he was quite wealthy and was willing to spend money. As long as Shi Jin had some achievements, he might be able to help him enter the officialdom and bring honor to his family.

It's a pity that this kid is not interested in this, and there's no way around it, so he can only find a master to teach him carefully, so that he can save his life even if he gets into trouble in the future.

But today he saw an opportunity. The Taoist priest had an extraordinary temperament and conversation, and he also wanted to accept disciples. It might be possible for Shi Jin to learn literature, practice Taoism and change his temperament. He did not seek to attain enlightenment, but would be satisfied with a good end.

"Yes." He didn't even understand how he lost, so it was impossible for Shi Jin to not want to learn this trick, so he agreed very readily.

"Okay, let me arrange it for you."

Shi Taigong knew that this time becoming an apprentice was not just like spending money to find a master, and the meaning was completely different, so he specially chose a good day, invited the nearby gentry and elders, prepared generous gifts for becoming an apprentice, and led Shi Jin to kowtow and serve tea, and only then did the relationship between master and apprentice be established.

"My Taoist name is Yuanhua. I have practiced in Longhu Mountain, Huashan Mountain, and Japan. You have two senior brothers. The eldest brother Lin Pingzhi practices in Huashan Mountain, and the second senior brother Gui Tongzi practices in Yinshan Mountain. You are my third disciple." Yan Xu put down the teacup and said to Shi Jin who was kneeling in front of him.

"There are not many rules in my sect, only three: you must not betray your teacher or ancestors, you must not kill your fellow disciples, and you must not commit adultery or plunder. Please remember them." Compared to other sects that have detailed rules even for eating and shitting, the rules set by Yan Xu are very loose, because his disciples will definitely not be ordinary. The more rules there are, the more constraints there are. It is better to let go and just stick to the bottom line.

"Disciple has made note of it." Shi Jin said happily. There were only three points, and they were simple and clear. How could he not remember them?

"Well, you will start practicing with me tomorrow. My school practices martial arts and medicine, and Taoism. Therefore, character, perseverance, muscles, and understanding are all indispensable. You must practice well and don't neglect it."

Only after Shi Jin agreed did Yan Xu let him leave, and then began to think about how to develop his true potential, at least to activate the dragon bones and tendons first, so as to gain a hint of the secrets of the Star Lord.

This degree is difficult to grasp. If it is too light, it will have no effect, and if it is too heavy, people will easily expose themselves.

Although Yan Xu is confident, he will not act recklessly. Therefore, he decides to take it easy in the first month, and then test the bottom line after having a way out after a month.
