Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 111: Starting from Relearning the Art of Invisibility

"Too deceiving!"

After hearing what happened, Chen Shizhen was very angry and slammed the table and stood up: "These people have done things without caring about their reputation. Master Chen, I have implicated you."

He was not a stupid man and had some guesses in his mind.

Today, Boji Lane is a mixed bag of people, with twelve families competing with each other and developing their own businesses: household gods, retainers, and worshippers...

Everyone is using all means to accumulate power in order to gain greater benefits.

The situation of the third house was that it was born with a deficiency and had been passed down for three generations. In this generation, there was only one daughter, which was an even bigger problem.

In addition, Chen Shizhen was indifferent and unambitious, and eventually fell into the deep pit of the "elixir of immortality".

Fortunately, he did not die. He came to his senses and wanted to climb up again.

But obviously, some people don't want him to be able to turn things around.

Those people would not attack Chen Shizhen directly, as doing so would violate the clan rules and have a bad impact.

But there would be no problem in attacking the guests at Chen Shizhen's house.

It is both a deterrent and a declaration.

How can you have the face to stay in Bojiji Lane if you can’t even protect the personal safety of your own guests?

Chen Shizhen figured out the key, but was powerless to do anything.

His family was already small and weak, and now they had lost their financial resources, so they could not do many things.

Even if I go to the clan to complain, there is no way.

Poisonous snakes in the wild and rabid dogs in the city can all be classified as accidental events, without any basis or evidence.

Besides, the people who were attacked were outsiders, so who cared?
Fortunately, Chen Jin had a capable bodyguard by his side, who saved the situation by taking action twice.

Speaking of Ye Yanke, he has an ordinary appearance and simple clothes. Apart from the heavy sword, there is nothing special about him.

But I didn't expect that he was actually a young master. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

Even so, Chen Shizhen was still worried about the subsequent developments of the situation. The enemy lurks in the dark, using despicable means, and it is difficult to guard against. Don't underestimate poisonous snakes and rabid dogs. Being bitten by them can be terrible. Even if you are rescued, there will be endless troubles.

So he said, "Mr. Chen, the exam is approaching. How about I pay for you to book a room at the Qingyun Inn near the exam hall? How about you stay there?"

Chen Jin raised his eyebrows: "Master Chen San doesn't welcome me as a guest here?"

Chen Shizhen waved his hands quickly: "That's not what I meant. I'm just afraid of implicating you. What if it hurts your career and future? I can't even face Old Hu anymore."

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Hu has already booked a room for me at the upper room of Qingyun Inn, but I have to come to Boji Lane to do something, so I chose to stay at your house."

Chen Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Is the matter settled?"

Chen Jin shook his head: "Not yet. To be honest, you said your family affairs would implicate me, maybe in the end it will be me who implicates you. When that happens, don't blame me."

Chen Shizhen immediately stood up and said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, you saved my life. I can't repay you even if I die. How can I blame you? If you want to do something, just tell me. Although I, Chen Shizhen, have accomplished nothing, I am definitely not a coward."

Having said this, he paused and looked at Chen Jin: "The only thing I am worried about is this daughter."

Chen Jin chuckled: "You don't have to be so nervous, it's like life or death. I will do my best to handle my affairs."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the villa.

Watching his back, Chen Shizhen felt mixed emotions:

At first, he thought that Chen Jin was a student preparing for an imperial examination, and that he came to live in his house because he was appreciated by Mr. Hu, probably taking the opportunity to socialize with him; but soon, Chen Jin showed his skills and even refined the Five Qi Jing Yang Pills.

This medicine is extraordinary. If it were to be taken outside, I wonder how much trouble it would cause.

At this point, Chen Shizhen realized that Chen Jin was no ordinary person and was likely to be of great importance.

Now, Chen Jin said he came to Boji Lane to do something. Now everything fits in and makes sense.

But the mysterious fog surrounding Chen Jin is even thicker.

What kind of person is he?

What kind of business are you here to do?

Chen Shizhen suddenly asked his daughter: "Jin'er, what do you think of Master Chen?"

Chen Jin thought for a while before answering, "Dad, I think he is a trustworthy person."

Hearing this, Chen Shizhen was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter: Yes, I and my family are in this situation, so why should I be so hesitant?
No matter what kind of person he is, the highest evaluation of him is nothing more than the four words "trustworthy".

This is the foundation of interpersonal relationships.

……

In the villa, Ye Yanke had just parked the carriage and soon began to practice sword skills.

He is a pure swordsman with a straightforward and single-minded mind.

Along the way, after receiving guidance from Chen Jin, his swordsmanship improved greatly.

His previous swordplay was too focused on the purpose, and he was used to fighting with his body, seeking speed blindly, which was a bit unconventional.

There is nothing wrong with the quick sword, but the problem is that this kind of fighting style that hurts both sides is doomed to fail in the long run.

So Ye Yanke now began to forget the constraints of sword moves and instead concentrated on using the sword intent.

At the same time, improve your character and stop being so impatient for success.

Unconsciously, even the idea of venturing out into the world and making a name for myself had faded a lot.

But Wangcai has free time.

Chen Jin didn't take it with him when he went out today, so it felt quite bored.

But there's no other way, I have to stay and look after the house and the luggage.

He was loyal to his duty and did not go anywhere.

When the young master came back, it finally found some time and ran to the kitchen to prepare for dinner.

……

In the room, the four treasures of the study were spread out on the desk.

Chen Jin picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, first writing down the two words "sword escape"; then he pondered for a moment, and then wrote down the four words "five elements escape method".

The original meaning of Jian Dun is the unity of man and sword, which is a skill in Kendo.
"The Five Elements Escape Technique" is a profound Taoist technique that encompasses the five elements of "gold, wood, water, earth and fire". If you fully master it, there is no place in the world that you cannot reach.

Chen Jin practiced Taoism with his master in the fairy mountain and learned a lot of Taoism. The relevant methods and techniques were all memorized in his soul.

However, all along, his focus has been on laying the foundation of the lower Dantian, and other complicated Taoist principles have been temporarily put aside due to the lack of application scenarios.

Moreover, due to the limitations of physical condition, it is difficult to perform advanced Taoist methods successfully.

Cultivating both the body and soul, and having both the form and spirit, is not something that can be "taken for granted".

However, now that the third realm is approaching perfection and a solid foundation has been laid, it is time to put some practical Taoist methods on the agenda of practice.

After some consideration and selection, the "Five Elements Escape Technique" was put on the table.

This method is profound and can be regarded as the foundation of the general principles of escape techniques. One of the techniques derived from it is very famous, which is the method of invisibility, named "Invisibility Technique".

Therefore, Chen Jin decided to start from re-studying the "Art of Invisibility".
