Wuxia Fantasy: Starting with the Revitalization of the Beggars' Sect

The above four principles are:

The "picking" technique: use a stick to pick on a mangy dog, use a wicked person to pick on a dog's body, disrupt the dog's kennel, and provoke a dog's paws.

The sealing technique: flatten the dog's back, a hungry dog ​​blocking the road, interlocking teeth, a mother dog protecting her cubs.

The "Turning Words" technique: vicious dog bites back, quick strike on the dog's rump, stray dog, yellow dog chasing tail, puppy playing with a ball.

Tripping Technique: Snatch the staff from the mastiff's mouth, turn the dog upside down, strike two mastiffs horizontally, chickens fly and dogs jump.

The Four Secrets contain seventeen styles of staff techniques, with each style emphasizing "variation" and "speed." Each style of staff technique is accompanied by annotations and illustrations of small figures.

Lin Ye was full of praise. It was indeed a superior martial art that only the leaders of the Beggars' Sect could learn. Compared with it, his own "staff technique" that he had slashed and hacked wildly yesterday was simply unbearable to look at.

Lin Ye was so engrossed in watching that he lost track of time.

Just then, the Emei disciple urged, "Kid, are you done yet? Why are you taking so long?"

Lin Ye said, "It'll be ready soon, just wait a little longer."

He continued looking at the booklet in his hand.

The two Emei disciples had no choice but to continue waiting, listening to the occasional coughing sounds.

After another half-cup of tea's time, the disciple asked again, "Is it ready yet?"

Lin Ye said: "It's almost done."

The two could only continue waiting. After another short while, the female disciple lost her patience and exclaimed, "If things don't improve soon, my senior sister and I are turning back!"

Although Jingxuan didn't say anything, her brows were furrowed and she was unhappy.

Lin Ye sighed, put the manual into his pocket, and stood up, saying, "It's changed."

Although Lin Ye doesn't have a photographic memory, given three days, he can memorize half of the manual by rote.

The rest is to diligently study and practice the moves and techniques in your mind.

He has now completed one or two tenths of the task; the rest will have to be recorded later.

The Emei female disciple breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this guy had finally finished dawdling. A man was dragging his feet like this. She would definitely say a few sarcastic words to him later and not give him a good look.

She was thinking to herself, and turned to speak, but the words caught in her throat.

Where was the disheveled, ragged little beggar standing before me?

The river washed away the grime and dust that had accumulated in the forest over the years, revealing a boy's face with distinct features and still damp.

His skin was a light tan from frequent sun exposure, yet it was smooth and firm, showing no signs of weariness.

Water droplets slid down his still-damp black hair, tracing the bridge of his straight nose and the defined jawline.

The most striking feature was his eyes, which had previously been obscured by disheveled hair and grime, but now shone brightly, as if they held the sunlight filtering through the forest, possessing a wild, beast-like clarity and sharpness.

He was wearing coarse cloth clothes prepared by his senior sister. They were slightly too big, but they couldn't hide the tenacity and uprightness that emanated from his slender figure.

He just stood there quietly, and the fearful and humble air of a beggar had completely disappeared. In its place was an indescribable, silent yet vigorous vitality!

The rebuke that was on the tip of her tongue couldn't be uttered.

So handsome...

"Why...why is it taking so long?" After a long pause, the Emei female disciple whispered her reproach.

"I was covered in mud, so it took me a while. I'm really sorry."

My goodness, the sound suddenly became so pleasant and melodious.

"Junior sister."

Jingxuan spoke up to remind her, although she was also amazed by Lin Ye's transformation, her temperament was not as unrefined as this junior sister's.

After being reminded by her senior sister, the female disciple calmed down a bit. She then thought that although the boy was as handsome as Pan An, he was still a young man after all, and her heart calmed down a little more.

He thought to himself, "This young man is already so handsome. In a few years, when he grows taller and stronger, I wonder how many girls he will charm."

Despite her best efforts to restrain herself, she couldn't help but glance at him from time to time on the way back.

When the female disciples of Emei saw Lin Ye return, their gazes all sharpened. It turned out that the little beggar was actually a handsome young man.

Even Ding Minjun, who is usually sharp-tongued, couldn't help but take a second look.

Under the gazes of everyone, Lin Ye approached Abbess Miejue and bowed respectfully, saying, "I've kept you and my fellow disciples waiting."

Abbess Miejue remained calm, nodded, and said indifferently, "It's quite tidy."

He paused, then added another sentence.

"It looks much better than before."

Given Abbess Miejue's personality, Lin Ye couldn't tell if she was genuinely praising him or just pretending. After bowing again, Lin Ye got into the car.

With everything in order, Abbess Miejue ordered her disciples to resume their journey.

Abbess Miejue, Ding Minjun, and another disciple walked at the front, while Jingxuan sat on the carriage shaft. Inside the tent were Lin Ye, Zhou Zhiruo, and two poisoned female disciples, with two other female disciples following behind.

The carousel clattered as the wheels rolled forward, crushing the gravel.

Inside the car, Zhou Zhiruo and Lin Ye sat facing each other. She smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you are much cleaner than before. I almost didn't recognize you."

Lin Ye laughed and said, "I am who I am, there's no way you can't recognize me."

Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said nothing more.

Zhou Zhiruo possessed an elegant and refined demeanor. Lin Ye knew that she was always quiet and reserved, and he himself was not a talkative person, so he simply kept quiet.

Silence returned to the carriage, with only the sounds of horses' hooves and wheels outside.

The group traveled westward for several days and months without incident, taking occasional breaks.

Although Lin Ye was under house arrest, he could still move around freely as long as he was within their sight.

During this time, Lin Ye secretly memorized the first half of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique and then destroyed it.

The "Regretful Dragon" move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, as well as the Free and Easy Fist, both use this method.

Since he had already revealed his defeat, these female disciples of the Emei Sect naturally wouldn't bother to examine his martial arts skills. However, if he managed to escape from them and accidentally fell into the hands of others, he might be searched and his body searched.

Just in case, it's always better to be careful.

They endured wind and rain, and after traveling for two more days, they arrived at a town where they wanted to rest properly.

After several days of rest, the two female disciples who had been poisoned in the car had almost fully recovered, and their internal energy had also recovered by half.

To avoid being seen by the Beggars' Sect disciples, Miejue ordered Lin Ye not to get out of the car, and even less to peek out.

The carriage traveled through the town until it stopped at a quiet inn.

Some Emei disciples had already booked the inn.

After settling in, Jingxuan asked the waiter to prepare two tables of vegetarian dishes.

Lin Ye was tired of eating steamed buns, so how could he possibly eat vegetarian food again when he arrived at the inn?

After Lin Ye stated his request, Abbess Miejue did not make things difficult for him. She also ordered the waiter to serve him a roast chicken, half a pound of beef, and two bowls of meat noodles.

As far as Abbess Miejue was concerned, as long as Lin Ye did not take the opportunity to escape, nothing else mattered.

The waiter saw Lin Ye wolfing down his food, his mouth and hands covered in oil, a stark contrast to the slow and deliberate eating of the nuns on the other side.

He couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking to himself that this way of eating was not that of a disciple of a sect, but rather that of a beggar.

He thought this to himself, but dared not say it aloud. He was used to these江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) people who were always shouting for fights and killings, and he didn't want to accidentally run into trouble.

With the food prepared, he said with a smile, "Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests. If you need anything, just call me."

He bowed as he spoke, then turned to leave, only to be bumped into by a guest who suddenly burst through the door.

He exclaimed "Ouch!" and turned around to see a woman dressed in a light blue dress.

"Guest, this room is full..."
