Akasaka Sword Emperor

Chapter 1 Apprenticeship
Three days later in the early morning, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the Li family's mansion, surrounded by dozens of warriors with swords.

Zhang Tianxing approached the Li family's mansion, and when he saw the gorgeous carriage in front of the door, his expression was a little lost.

"Is she going to study in the imperial capital? These three days have passed so quickly, will she become a powerful monk in the future?
The gap between me and her is really big, she is the girl of heaven, but what about me?Just an adopted son. "

Just when Zhang Tianxing felt inferior, Li Aoxue walked out of the mansion under the support of his parents and clansmen like stars holding the moon.

She is dressed in a white dress, showing her slender figure to the fullest. Her beautiful facial features are like carvings of white jade. Although she is only 12 years old this year, she is already slim and graceful, with extraordinary temperament.

Standing not far away, Zhang Tianxing watched Li Aoxue get into the gorgeous carriage, he didn't dare to get closer, because she was as beautiful as a "fairy", while he was just an ordinary "farmer".

After Li Aoxue got on the gorgeous carriage, it gradually went away, dozens of warriors with swords on horseback guarded the surroundings.

Li Aoxue's parents looked at the carriage that disappeared from sight. Mother Li's eyes were a little moist, and she turned her head to Father Li and said, "That girl Xue'er has never left us. I don't know if she will get used to it when she goes to the Emperor? Will she not?" Will you be bullied?"

Father Li looked at Mother Li who was full of worries, and said with a smile: "His brother Yun'er is also studying in the imperial capital. With him here, you don't have to worry? Didn't Yuner write a letter saying that he has successfully opened up his dantian and became a A qi cultivator." After saying that, Father Li showed a proud expression on his face.

Mother Li looked at her proud husband and said: "The children I gave birth to are naturally gifted, unlike you, who are only innate warriors at an age."

"Hahaha." Father Li burst out laughing when he heard this, he put his arms around his wife's shoulders and was about to turn around and go back home.

When the two turned around and saw Zhang Tianxing who was in a daze not far away, Li's mother's originally happy expression turned a little disgusted, and Li's father also frowned.

Mother Li walked up to Zhang Tianxing quickly, and said with disdain on her face: "Now you know the gap between yourself and my daughter? We didn't want Aoxue to be unhappy before, so we followed her in everything. Now she is going to study in the imperial capital. Now, you will soon become a Qi cultivator like his brother, so... you are destined not to be from the same world."

Zhang Tianxing looked at Li's mother who was full of contempt, and said in a flat tone: "I just want to see her off, I know that Aoxue and I are not from the same world..."

"Aoxue is also what you can call? You don't even look at your identity? Even if you become the adoptive son of the Zhang family, you will never be able to conceal your identity as a beggar. No one wants to abandon a baby. I really think I have done it." Does Yizi Zhang feel that he is the young master of the Zhang family?"

Mother Li said sarcastically when she heard Zhang Tianxing's words.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianxing's face was extremely calm. He has long been used to this kind of cold stare and ridicule. He himself is an abandoned baby raised by beggars. This is an unchangeable fact, so he never refute.

Zhang Tian walked, and he walked very simply. He was not as angry as Li's mother imagined. Li's mother looked at Zhang Tianxing who left peacefully, and she froze in place.

Zhang Tianxing came all the way to the hill outside the town. This is where he, Zhang Wanwan, and Li Aoxue gathered. Every time they got into trouble in the town, they would run here.

At this time, Zhang Tianxing stood on the hill and roared to the sky: "Ah..." The roar was full of sadness and loneliness.

"Do you want to step into the road of practice?"

The slovenly old man appeared behind Zhang Tianxing at some point and asked.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Tianxing quickly wiped away his tears, turned his head to look at the sloppy old man, and said, "What kind of practice do you know, a wretched old pervert?"

The slovenly old man smiled slightly when he heard the words, he swung his palm across the air, and slapped towards the big tree not far away.

I saw a spiritual energy like a sword light coming out of his palm, and with a bang, the sword light hit, and the big tree broke in the middle.

The sloppy old man responded to Zhang Tianxing's question with his actions.

Looking at the big tree that broke from it, Zhang Tianxing was shocked. It turned out that there was a great monk hidden beside him!

"How is it? Are you okay?"

The sloppy old man looked at the stunned Zhang Tianxing and asked.

Zhang Tianxing returned to his senses in response. He looked at the sloppy old man with a resolute expression on his face. He walked quickly to the old man, knelt down on his knees and said, "Master, please teach me how to practice."

The sloppy old man was startled by Zhang Tianxing's actions and quickly dodged aside.

He pointed to Zhang Tianxing who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Hey, you boy, old man, when did I become your master? Don't make trouble, get up quickly."

Zhang Tianxing didn't get up when he heard the words, but moved his kneeling legs and kowtowed directly to the sloppy old man.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

There were three muffled sounds, and Zhang Tianxing's forehead was bleeding profusely.

Seeing Zhang Tianxing's resolute and unyielding expression, the sloppy old man was a little surprised!
Is this still the boy I met seven years ago?

That boy was a little dazed, a little dumb, and a little dazed.

But at this moment, what I saw was a stubborn young man who was strong, unyielding, and knew how to hide his thoughts.

Just when the slovenly old man was surprised and puzzled, Zhang Tianxing, who had been kowtowing non-stop, fell to the ground and passed out with a plop.

Hearing the sound, the sloppy old man looked at Zhang Tianxing who fell to the ground, and saw that his forehead was bleeding profusely, and the blood flowed down his cheeks all over his body. At this moment, the sloppy old man was a little moved.

The slovenly old man walked up to Zhang Tianxing and stroked his forehead with his right hand, only to see that the bleeding wound healed instantly.

In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high and the stars twinkle.

In the ruined temple outside Maple Leaf Town, the slovenly old man sat cross-legged, and Zhang Tianxing, who woke up, knelt in front of the old man.

"Hey, old man, I think you have a pitiful background and are so stubborn, so I can only accept you as my apprentice." The sloppy old man said with a full face of grievance.

"Apprentice Zhang Tianxing pays homage to his mentor." Zhang Tianxing bowed to the slovenly old man.

"The way of practice is the acquired martial artist at the beginning, exercise one's muscles, bones and skin, and train a body of copper skin and iron bones, then it is acquired."

The sloppy old man began to explain the division of monks' realms.

"Acquired warriors will become congenital warriors later on, drawing qi into the body, training the internal organs with qi, and opening up the dantian in the body.

Once the dantian is opened up, one will officially become a monk in the realm of Qi training, absorb the spiritual energy of the world and gather in the opened dantian, and can use martial arts to leave the body during battle, hurting people and hundreds of meters away.

Above Qi training is the realm of shedding the womb, breaking away from the mortal womb, not eating whole grains, and living by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth.

Above the rebirth is the realm of void, and the movement of manipulating the aura of heaven and earth is like flowing water. You can walk in the void, or hide in the void for a short time.

Above the void is the extraordinary, transcending the mortal body, that is, the land gods in people's mouth, and the life span can be increased by 500 years. "

The slovenly old man looked at Zhang Tianxing, who was listening carefully, and said, "These are the six realms of monks, and there are higher realms above the extraordinary, which is still far away for you now."

After finishing speaking, the old man took out a book from his arms, handed it to Zhang Tianxing who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "You are not even considered a warrior now, this is the book of the "Five Beasts Forging Body Boxing", you are good at practicing!" .”

Zhang Tianxing took it with both hands, and said gratefully: "I will definitely practice hard, and I will not let the master down."

"Although your talent is mediocre, you can make up for it with enough hard work. When you reach the innate state, the teacher will teach you the method of cultivation after drawing qi into the body. Okay, you go back. From now on, we will still be the same as before in front of outsiders." That way, let no one know what happened today.”

Zhang Tianxing nodded when he heard the sound and said: "I will keep it in my heart."

Zhang Tianxing bowed to the sloppy old man again, then got up and left.

Looking at Zhang Tianxing's leaving back, the slovenly old man sighed softly and said to himself: "Hey, the road to practice is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will lose your bones. I hope that one day you will not regret it."

In the early morning of the next day, in Maple Leaf Town, Zhang's mansion, in the living room.

Zhang Tianxing's adoptive father, Zhang Qianku, sat in the first seat of the living room, looked at his adoptive son Zhang Tianxing in surprise, and asked again: "Are you sure you want to leave the Zhang family?"

Hearing the sound, Zhang Tianxing knelt down on his knees and said, "Tianxing is very grateful to his adoptive father for taking in and nurturing him. Tianxing will definitely repay his adoptive father when he is successful in the future."

Zhang Wanwan looked at Zhang Tianxing who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted angrily, "Idiot, why did you leave? Did someone bully you?"

As he spoke, he looked around angrily at the stepmothers sitting opposite him.

"Million, what do you think we are doing? We didn't do anything, it was Tian Xing who proposed to leave." One of the stepmothers said.

"Million, I proposed to leave on my own. It has nothing to do with the stepmothers. The luckiest thing in my life is to know a good brother like you." Zhang Tianxing looked at the angry Zhang Wanwan and said .

"The most unlucky thing in my life is to have a brother like you." After saying that, Zhang Wanwan left angrily.

Zhang Tianxing looked at the back of Zhang Wanwan's departure, his nose was a little sore, and tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.

"Hey, forget it, if you want to leave, then go! You have to remember that this is still your home. In a few days, I plan to send Wanwan to study at the Imperial Capital Academy. You can go to the Imperial Capital to see him when you have time. "Zhang Qianku said with a slightly sad tone.

Zhang Tianxing bowed to Zhang Qianku and his four wives again, then got up and left.

Last night Zhang Tianxing came back from the ruined temple outside the city and stayed up all night. He thought a lot, since he found a master who can teach him how to practice, then he should practice hard by his side.

Li Aoxue went to the imperial capital, and Zhang Wanwan would go sooner or later, so it was meaningless to stay in the Zhang family by herself.

Zhang Tianxing took some clothes and some gold coins he had accumulated, bought some sacrifices in the town, and walked out of Maple Leaf Town where he had lived for 12 years.

Then Zhang Tianxing came to the solitary grave where the old beggar was buried outside the town, pulled out the weeds growing around the solitary tomb, placed sacrifices, knelt down in front of the grave, kowtowed a few times, and then got up and left.

In the ruined temple outside the town, Zhang Tianxing confessed his decision to leave the Zhang family to the sloppy master, which surprised the old man.

"Alright, since you have left the Zhang family, you can practice with your teacher from now on." The slovenly old man said to Zhang Tianxing.

"Thank you master for taking me in." Zhang Tianxing replied with a smile after hearing the words.
