Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Old Man Fishes

The old man was plainly dressed and calm, but his actions were unrestrained and heroic. I saw him bite the thumb of his right hand, wave his hand, a little, and drip the blood that flowed out onto the bait, and then seemingly lightly threw the fishing line, and the hook flew far away and fell into the water.

Alain's eyes were sharp, and he found that when the hook fell into the water, it didn't make a splash. At this time, the old man's voice came slowly: "The purple carp is fierce by nature, and likes to suck blood and qi the most, as long as you have strong blood and blood, you can attract these greedy little guys in a lake." ”

Alan and the others have no specific concept of this vigorous blood, even Tu Fengnian, who reads a lot, only has a general feeling. In fact, the qi and blood are so strong that they can attract a small purple carp from the vast lake water, which can only be done by a martial artist who has practiced martial arts all year round.

Although Qi practitioners have many magical powers, as long as they do not cultivate the body refining method, it is difficult to have such a strong qi and blood. It didn't take long for the old man to slowly reel in the line, the technique was very skillful, and he did not pull it to himself, but collected and released, and the fierce purple carp was like being played with in the palm of his hand.

Alan and the others were a little dumbfounded, from biting their fingers and dripping blood at the beginning, to throwing the line to collect the fish later, this old man seemed to be strolling leisurely, completely different from the confused three.

Alan and Tu Fengnian have also practiced martial arts for many days, plus the young man's blood is strong, it stands to reason that it is enough for the purple carp to "eat", so they also try it, the difference is that Qiao Su points Qiao Woman, although she is a swordsman, but the woman is soft, and she is a pure cultivator, and she has not cultivated much in the flesh, so she does not try, but just opens a pair of big eyes and looks at Alan with anticipation.

And Alain did not live up to her expectations, a fat purple carp broke out with the fishing line, and in the faint sunlight, the fish scales reflected the light, illuminating Qiao Su's drool......

The old man looked at Alan with a little surprise, and with his old spicy eyes, he could see at a glance that this fish was at least five catties or more, and it was likely to be five catties and five taels, which was almost a great luck for a novice. Even he had only caught such fat fish a few times.

At this time, Alain expressed his guess: "This old man, thank you for your advice. I see that your face is red and your eyes are bright, you must have practiced martial arts all year round?"

The old man smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, I am indeed a martial artist. ”

As soon as these words came out, all three of them were shocked. Because the word Takeo is not called indiscriminately.

Wufu, at the beginning, was to praise those brave warriors, and later those who practiced martial arts all the year round were introduced as self-proclaimed, and later, the martial arts system was opened, and martial arts were also used to refer to those martial artists who practiced martial arts.

The martial arts system was opened later than Confucianism and Taoism, and there were no earth-shattering great figures, so the martial arts system has not yet perfected the path after the seventh realm.

Takeshi, the prince of Gancheng. Martial arts have been the country's defense force since ancient times, and even more than half of the three divisions of the big gun are martial artists. The realm of martial arts is also not known to ordinary people, and these are all in the hands of the Jianghu sect and the imperial court.

Alan hesitated, but still asked: "The old gentleman is benevolent and righteous, he taught me to fish out the purple carp, he must be a great good person, I don't know if he has a name?"

The old man suddenly laughed, and his tone was indifferent: "The old man's surname is Zhang Mingwu, and he has been practicing martial arts for nearly eighty years. Maybe the people who taught you didn't tell you about the realm of martial arts, right?"

Most of the official martial artists don't have names, and Alan asked this because Yuan Lai told them the name of Huo Jiaquan, that is, the Bajiquan they learned. There are many schools of Bajiquan, and when the major martial arts halls involve the same boxing skills, they have to register their own numbers, but for orthodox martial artists, they are not limited to the genre, not limited to physical skills, and all their kung fu is in the fists and legs, and they are mostly commensurate with brothers.

If Alan and the others knew this, they would call the old man Big Brother and then ask for his name.

The old man looked at Alan and the others and shook their heads, smiled again, and said: "Actually, martial artists don't care about age, in the words of scholars, there is no elder or younger, and the master comes first." The martial arts system is clearer and not as complicated as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

"Generally speaking, it is said that it is a three-in-one, a three-in-one. Three-in-one fingers, refinement, qi and spirit. The three kinds of fingers are like art, meaning, and Tao. Isn't it easy?"

Alan smiled reluctantly and said, "Haha, it's really simple and clear, but I heard that most of the time cultivators have seven levels of realm, why are there only six martial artists?"

The old man sighed imperceptibly, but the light in his eyes suddenly became intense, which was keenly captured by Alain. "In fact, the martial arts system has a long history, but there are many sages who have stopped at the sixth realm, but I believe that in the near future, the martial arts system will inevitably break through!"

Alan thought for a moment, and had a guess in his heart, but he didn't say it.

Instead, Tu Fengnian asked: "Mr. Zhang, you have practiced martial arts for many years, and you must have cultivated to a very high realm, right? I don't know what realm you are? If the old gentleman is unwilling to say it, just treat it as if the kid didn't ask this sentence." ”

There was obvious hesitation in Zhang Wu's eyes, and Alan saw it, and quickly interjected: "Old Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be entangled, if there is any inconvenience, naturally there is no need to talk about it." I have learned the method of fishing, naturally I can't ask for more, it is better for the old gentleman to look at the realm of me and Brother Tu, the two of us have been practicing martial arts for a short time, and I don't know where I have come. ”

This sentence was asked very cleverly, because he did not make any excessive requests, but only borrowed the old man's eyesight. However, in order to judge and let the two of them know how hot they are, they must first define the degree, that is, the realm. This also allows the elderly to either answer the question and expose more information, or not answer.

Zhang Wu really didn't expect this young man to speak so tricky, he had already refused to answer Tu Fengnian's question just now, and he refused again at this time, which was inevitably a little unkind, after all, they were all juniors, and this realm problem was not a secret, so the old man was not good at shirking.

"You kid, huh...... That's it. Actually, both of you are at the level of refinement, but your heat is much better. The saying that people have spirit, spirit, and spirit is the most magical part of a person. All three of these are a bit illusory, you don't have to find faults, and I can't say that your understanding is correct, you need to understand it yourself. ”

Alan and Tu Fengnian were thoughtful, the old man smiled and said nothing, Qiao Su blew his hair boringly, but stared at the fish basket from the corner of his eyes, and wiped his mouth from time to time.

The four of them each took two boats, and their minds were all different. However, they talked happily with each other and soon became acquaintances. Alan and others warmly invited Zhang Wu, and he was not hypocritical, he happily went to the restaurant to eat fish.
