Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 31: I will inherit your legacy and will not be afraid of wind and rain! What if I am that one in a million genius?

Prelude to the Secret Weapon, Turtle Snake Great Rock Pillar! ?
hiss!
This name is quite intimidating!

Thinking back to the past few days, Lu Hongyu took him to familiarize himself with Luzhuang.

In addition, Lu Chengfeng admired him very much. Seeing that he had never practiced blood-nourishing and muscle-strengthening, he was kind enough to give him some advice, intending to pass on the next volume of Lu Zhuang's blood-nourishing and muscle-strengthening exercises.

He was also familiar with the standing meditation of Aojin Realm.

The standing meditation exercises collected by Lu Zhuang were all compiled into books using the finest bamboo slips and recorded in registers.

There are only a few of these in the whole village.

Placed in Anning County.

It is also a first-class inheritance apart from the secret teachings of the three major gangs and four major halls.

I heard that if one were to teach disciples and open a school, one could earn one or two hundred taels of silver for just one set of standing practice!
To master a martial art, one usually needs from a dozen to several dozen taels of steel.

And this involves the transformation of oneself, refining a body of mercury, blood and steel, which is the foundation of life, so it is naturally more expensive, which makes sense.

but,
Ji Xiu had browsed through the bamboo books that recorded the standing postures, and most of them were "Tiger Squat Posture", "Returning to the Origin Posture", "Vajra Posture", etc.
There has never been one.

Just like the silk book that Duan Chenzhou took out, it is so magnificent!

And
"Master Duan wants to accept me as his last disciple?"

Ji Xiu's heart was trembling.

The dojos and schools in this world.

Serving tea and becoming a disciple is called "registering your name".

As the name suggests, it is just to record the name and pass on the martial arts.

If you become famous after that, it means that your master taught you well, and you also have to bear the name of your dojo or school.

If you can't learn, just leave it to its own devices. Even if you starve to death or freeze to death, it's because you are not capable enough and haven't learned enough.

After the name is recorded.

This is the meaning of 'taking seats and arranging seats'!
Only with the master can one truly gain a reputation, a seat, and become a master.

Only such a disciple can be considered to be favored by the master, who will give him special training and teach him the true Dharma.

The one who can get the first seat is called the face of the family, also known as the "big disciple", representing the reputation of this inheritance and having unlimited fame.

I heard that the four major martial arts schools in Anning County, the 'big disciples' who were good at boxing, spears and swords, were all top-notch, all masters who had mastered bone training and were invulnerable to swords and spears, truly extraordinary.

Apart from these.
There is another kind.

It's called 'closing the door'!
The so-called closing.

Or, he is a martial arts master who has mastered his skills and feels that he can no longer make any progress.
Or maybe the warrior is old and weak, with one foot in the coffin, and doesn't want his skills to be buried.
Only then will he accept the last disciple in this life!
He closed the door and retired from the worldly affairs.

According to common sense.

This last disciple will often inherit the most exquisite mantle, or even the foundation of a school!

Originally, Ji Xiu just wanted to ask for a 'registered' identity today, but unexpectedly, a sudden turn of events allowed him to jump three levels and become the only disciple of 'Duan Chenzhou'!
Thinking of Lu Yu, who had served for almost three years but had not even earned a title, even if he realized that the title of the closed-door disciple might be as stressful as a mountain or sea, there were complexities and secrets behind it.

Ji Xiu also did not hesitate. He opened the seal of the Huadiao wine, filling the yard with the aroma of wine. He took a few steps and hurried forward to fill the bowl in front of Duan Chenzhou.

Then, looking at the volume of 'Turtle Snake Big Rock Pillar'.
With a light touch of his fingertips, without the slightest hesitation, he tightly grasped it in his palm, as if strangling fate by the throat!

A poor guy like him has no choice.

There is a road to heaven but I don't want to take it, I am not willing to take a risk.
This is how my life is!
"Master Duan, I am willing to learn!"

"Life is full of hardships, and there is no return. What is the road of no return?"

Ji Xiu offered wine and kowtowed, his tone was sonorous:
"If you end up stuck in this muddy alley for your whole life, there is no way back."

"Master Duan once gave me a resolution and told me how broad and wide the road of martial arts is."

“The road is right under your feet. How far you can go depends entirely on yourself.”

"In that case, there is a standing exercise that can build superior tendons and bones, right in front of you."

"If I were to shrink back and not dare to move forward because of the 'danger and disaster' mentioned by Lord Gu and Master Duan."

"Isn't this contrary to the original intention of a warrior to 'bravely strive for excellence'?"

[It is detected that the recipient has obtained the superior stance exercise 'Turtle Snake Great Rock Stance'. This stance is divided into two volumes, the blood nourishing volume 'Black Turtle Great Toad Style', and the tendon strengthening volume 'Teng Snake Chasing Cloud Style'. ]

[Do you want to advance the previous volume: Black Turtle and Big Toad Style? ]

[After the advance payment, the repayment conditions are: do the Black Turtle Posture, let the Qi flow through all the meridians, and exhale it in one breath, a total of thirty times, which can be considered complete.]

[After practicing the complete "Turtle Snake Great Rock Pillar", the person who grants the talisman can obtain the Yuanshi Dao talisman and capture the "characteristics" in it! ]

Lines of small gilded characters float between the condensed Taoist scriptures.

As Ji Xiu touched the silk book, he saw Gu Baichuan and Duan Chenzhou, both of whom acted as if they saw nothing.

And understand the information one by one.

Ji Xiu lowered his eyebrows, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that he paused for a while on purpose, and then:

"If there is an external force obstructing us, I don't know who it is or what great power it is, but it has caused Lord Gu to speak so obscurely and Master Duan to stay in the small courtyard and not care about worldly affairs."

"but"

"You can say I am ambitious and reckless, or that I don't know what is good for me." "I have already entered the door."

"Then if something unexpected happens, Master Duan doesn't need to be the boss."

"An eternal disease."

"I, Ji Xiu, will shoulder the responsibility!"

"At worst, it's just a life!"

Wow!
Gu Baichuan suddenly stood up from the stone table:
"you boy"

"Huh."

"He who does not know is fearless."

He shook his head, pretending to be drunk, and smiled as he held up his sheathed sword, staggering:

"Don't look, don't look, don't see, don't see"

"This is the true meaning, involving the secret ways of martial arts, even if you only see a breath or a movement."

"From now on, friends will become enemies!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

After saying that, he picked up a pot of Huadiao wine that Ji Xiu had brought and walked away alone.

When he reached the threshold, he suddenly turned around and sneered:
"Can I be a witness?"

"You heard that your old enemy has taken over, and you are disheartened. You want to make sure your career is not cut off after you leave, so you asked me to 'help' this kid."

"Humph, Duan Pifu, you have been arrogant all your life. You should have known how to humble yourself earlier. Why do you have to do this?"

"Never mind, never mind. When you can't hold the umbrella anymore, I can hold it for you for a while."

"But this 'secret martial arts' has so many rules and so many gradual paths before you can see the threshold."

"Are you sure that this kid can succeed?"

He shook his head.

Walk away.

Only Duan Chenzhou was left, staring at Ji Xiu and smiling:
"It's an eternal disease. Are you going to shoulder it?"

A trace of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"He is quite stubborn."

"But since you have worshiped me, I must speak of you."

"Sometimes, you should not be so ambitious. If you don't know how to submit to the rules and try to please others, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

"It's not so bad in the county, everyone is a tyrant, no one is more noble than the other, but outside of these five hundred miles of An Ning, you have to be careful."

"Some people can't stand the fact that you are so 'spirited'."

"In this vast universe, there are billions of living beings. There are more than tens of millions of warriors in the human-immortal martial arts world."

"But some people are born to be outstanding, to be noble, and to be the trend-setters of the time."

"Some people, however, brave the wind, frost and swords along the way, step on the muddy swamps, and struggle to climb out a future."

"Life is hard, and there are only so many opportunities. If you make a wrong step, you will fall into an endless abyss."

His voice suddenly became low.

But after Ji Xiu stood up and listened, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"But if I fawn and flatter you, will Master Duan still accept me as his disciple and pass on his true teachings to me?"

Then he picked up the drink.

Duan Chenzhou, who was about to imitate his 'master' and give a heartfelt lecture, was suddenly stunned when he looked at the clear wine and listened to the unexpected words.

He frowned, took a sip, and said after a long while:
"will not."

He looked at the young man in black in front of him, holding the silk book tightly in his hand, and after a while, he sighed:
"Never mind. I can't argue with you."

"but"

"You don't understand what 'secret martial arts' means."

"I don't know. This 'Turtle Snake Great Rock Pillar' is extremely difficult even for my lineage, the most basic and entry-level prelude."

"I will teach you step by step and guide you, but I don't know if you can even learn the basics in a month or two."

"If we still can't make any progress after such a long time, we should give up as soon as possible in order not to delay the progress of the 'Aojin Realm'."

Listening to Duan Chenzhou's sigh, it seemed as if he was telling how difficult it is to use this method.

But holding this secret silk book.

Ji Xiu looked at the advance reminder of Yuanshi Daolu, his hair blown by the wind, and he suddenly smiled jokingly:

"But just in case, I mean just in case."

"Master Duan."

"What if I'm that one-in-a-million genius?"
