Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 8 Understanding the New World

In a sense, the master-apprentice relationship between Wang Langzhong and Lan Wang was more or less symbolic – the protector of the Imperial Decree would certainly not live in the frontier of Yangguan Town in order to teach a child less than five years old. This means that it is impossible for Master Fengyun to teach Lan Wang martial arts kung fu by hand.

However, Lan Fengyun made a high-sounding excuse for this: "Lan Wang, this kid is a physical martial spirit, and the method I usually teach my disciples is completely ineffective when applied to this kind of prodigy." I will pass on all the cultivation methods I have learned all my life and the corresponding cultivation methods to Lan Wang, and the cultivation can only rely on himself! Because his talent is so high, if I teach him like I did Haizi, I will bury him. ”

This is really the master leading the door and practicing in person!

"It's easy to say, how do you pass on to me all the 'life's learning'? Is it possible to plug a USB into my brain? Lan Wang thought.

"This is a piece of jade. As long as you hold it in your hand and then enter meditation according to the meditation method, you will naturally comprehend the subtleties of the various exercises. Lan Fengyun said to Lan Wang.

"Oh my God, could it be a USB flash drive?" Travelers feel more and more that this world is a fantasy world similar to that in "The Lord of the Rings", but this fantasy world is a "Chinese version".

"Remember, your cultivation must rely on your own strength, and you must not rely on external forces! If you take pills at will or practice partial exercises, not only will it not help your cultivation, but it will harm you, and even cause backlash! Remember, remember! ”

For a moment, Lan Wang felt like he was watching a cutscene from some immortal cultivation game.

"Dare to ask Master Fengyun, what sect does your practice belong to?" After a long silence, Lan Wang finally opened his mouth to ask. Even if you really come to a world of cultivating immortals, you have to figure out which sect you belong to, right?

When Lan Fengyun heard this, he laughed: "Boy, I know a lot!" Don't you know the saying 'all the things are one'? ”

"The boy is lonely and unheard."

"Martial arts in the world are always changing. If the cultivation is refined enough and the realm is high enough, then which sect does it belong to, and what is the significance? Lan Fengyun once again showed his very indecent smile.

"What the master means is that as long as the cultivation is high enough, you can be above the sect; As long as the understanding of martial arts is deep enough, then there will naturally be no categories of martial arts in the world? ”

"Hahaha, my Lan Fengyun really didn't see the wrong person, just a little bit! You have just stepped into the threshold of martial arts, and you have realized the truth that many martial artists have not been able to grasp in their lifetime, congratulations! ”

"Master Xie instructs, the disciple will definitely do his best!" The traverser felt that he had slowly entered the drama now.

"Why say thank you? can get the physical martial soul as an apprentice, the old man has no regrets in this life! The road ahead, you have to figure it out step by step. The old man has a Yang Shou who is more than seventy years old in his life, and he has not yet seen a martial soul descend to earth, let alone how to cultivate martial arts in the flesh martial soul. Disciple, you have no experience in front of you, you must find your own way! ”

"The apprentice will not dishonor the life of the master!"

"Weishi and Haizi will help you do one thing before they leave Yangguan Town. Your legs may not be healed, but that doesn't mean you can't walk. As a teacher, I know that there is a way that can not only make you stand up and walk again, but also allow you to strengthen your martial arts cultivation. I'll leave Yangguan in three days, and you'll know what to do then!" ”

"In a while, when I come to Yangguan Town again, you will experience an expedition. If you pass the level, it means that you are out of school. ”

That night, Lan Wang went to bed very early, and Lan Fengyun talked to Lan Fengshan and the Wulan couple in the reception room before leaving very late.

When I woke up the next morning, the days of the traveler returned to peace, after all, life is like a wave of the sea, and when there are waves, there must be times when the waves are calm. After the first thrilling moment after the crossing, Lan Wang felt more and more about the preciousness of this kind of peaceful and peaceful life in front of himβ€”and at the same time, he realized that this peaceful day also hidden dangers.

Someone wanted his life.

And he still doesn't know who this man is or why he wants him dead.

He had to do everything he could to know.

What his master talked about with his cheap parents last night, Lan Wang didn't know. Whether Wang Langzhong had told his parents his judgment - someone was going to be unfavorable to Lan Wang - Young Master Lan didn't know.

Our travelers have to figure it out for themselves, figure everything out.

This morning, Lan Wang still got up early according to his habit when he was in the army. The people of the Lan family seemed to be very uncomfortable with this change of Lan Wangβ€”you must know that before yesterday's incident, Lan Wang, an eight-year-old child, had to sleep until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

However, Lan Fengshan and Wu Lanshi quickly adapted to their son's new rhythm of life.

Lan Fengshan promised Lan Wang in person: he would never interfere with Lan Wang's cultivation. How to practice martial arts is all up to Lan Wang. As for the materials that may be needed for cultivation, etc., he will try his best to provide them to his son.

However, the cheap dad also announced: Lan Wang can't go out for a while now. It is true that the bolt was not beaten because of yesterday's incident, but Lan Wang's plan to inspect Yangguan Town will also be put on hold for the time being.

"It seems that my master told my dad everything, and my cheap dad arranged it this way to protect me."

However, the traverser thought about it: his father in this life has almost half of his life, and in the situation like yesterday, even if no one informed him, he could realize that someone was going to attack Lan Wang's house and Lan Wang.

"Wang'er, yesterday Master Fengyun had a long talk with his father and your mother before leaving." Cheap Dad seemed to want to tell Lan Wang a few words early in the morning, "The master told me to wait: I don't have to treat you as a child anymore." That being the case, there are some things that the Father might as well say to you. ”

"You can also see that some people want to be unfavorable to my Lan family, and want to be unfavorable to my Lan family's house."

Here it is, Lan Wang thought to himself.

"My father and your mother now also know that you are gifted, which is really different from ordinary people, but you have to remember: you are practicing martial arts now, not to glorify your ancestors, let alone to do chivalrous righteousness, but to have the means to protect yourself at a critical moment!"

"I don't know if you are really a martial soul as the master said, and my father doesn't care. The only thing a father cares about is that you can grow up and become an adult like this Yangguan Town, and even thousands of ordinary children in the whole world! I know what you're thinking, but when a father says that, he doesn't think you're a real four-year-old. It's just that although your mind is mature, for a martial artist, the defects of the body are far from being compensated for by the strength of the spirit and mind, and your body is indisputably the body of a four-year-old child! In the process of cultivation, you should always keep in mind that you should be down-to-earth, guard against arrogance and rashness, and never rush to achieve success. ”

"You may not know what kind of person Master Fengyun is. But you have to remember: the master has a discerning eye, trusts you, appreciates you, and will teach you what he has learned all his life! Don't let him down! ”

"Doing something for your father won't help you with anything about cultivation, but if you need something, just ask. Although my Lan family is not a relative of the emperor, there is still room and heritage for a young child to show his strength! ”

"The child has thanked his father, and he will not teach his father to disappoint!" Lan Wang clenched his fists in a fake manner.

To be honest, the time-traveler thinks that his father is much easier to talk than he thinks. Although there is a little bit of a martial artist's temper, when it comes to the critical point, he is still very kind and reasonable.

If our Lan Young Master doesn't seize this opportunity to make a request in a hurry, when will it be?!

"Father, the child wants to open a medical clinic!"

At the intersection of Guiyang Street and the adjacent Jiangning Street, a very inconspicuous small shop has been paved. A few small servants sprinkled and placed furniture inside, and a large banner with the word "medicine" written on it rose in the morning breeze. At the same time, a plaque as inconspicuous as the small shop was hung up, which read:

"Lan's Medical Center"

After Lan Wang made this request, he had a lot of words with his parents. The father almost got angry again because his son had violated his own request not to leave the Lan family mansion recently, and the mother almost thought that her precious son had lost his mind. However, after Lan Wang said the reason why he wanted to open a medical center, his father and mother reluctantly agreed.

Lan Wang said: "The mastery passed on to me by Master Fengyun not only includes martial arts techniques, but also medical skills. What is written in the jade slip is very clear: martial arts and medicine are one; Martial arts kills, and medicine crosses people. Since Master Fengyun wants me to learn a skill, then this medical technique naturally can't be wasted! ”

"My child, you don't want to think about it, if you're an eight-year-old sitting in the hospital, will anyone come to see you? Your mother and your father know that you are extraordinary, but others don't! Wu Lan persuaded with a worried face.

"Wang'er, a Lang Zhong started as an apprentice, without more than ten years of hard work, you just got the teaching of Master Fengyun last night, the medical prescription Jun Chen Zuo is not yet familiar with the heart, and now you are going to open a medical hall as a doctor, what is the difference between making money and killing people?!" Lan Fengshan was almost about to jump.

"Father and mother, you can't trust your children, can't you still believe in Master Fengyun's medical skills? In the event of an incurable disease, even if the child cannot guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease, it will never harm people's lives, right? Lan Wang argued.

"Someone just wanted to kill you yesterday, and you're going to show up again today? Are you really not afraid of killers coming to your door? Lan Fengshan was already trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Of course the child knows the danger involved, but can a person who cultivates martial arts stay under the protection of his parents' wings for the rest of his life?"

。。。。。。

After another tug-of-war, the family of three finally reached a compromise.

Lan Wang can go out to open a medical center, but he must not leave Guiyang Street. The medical hall should not be too conspicuous, just open at the junction of Guiyang Street and Jiangning Street; The shop should not be too big, as long as it is larger than the average grocery store. Lan Wang could go there to sit in the hall during the day, but he had to return to the Lan family's mansion under the escort of the servants an hour before the sun went down. The most important thing is that the cultivation of martial arts and the basic learning must not be left behind!

Although the Lan family has not yet reached the realm of being rich and rivaling the country, there are many industries in the Jiangbei market, and it is almost easy to find a ready-made small shop somewhere. As soon as the Lan family's mansion was decided here, the new medical hall had already begun to take care of the shop.

When it was almost noon, Lan Wang let the bolt carry himself to this brand-new "mini medical hall".

"Hey, the Lan family is worthy of being the head snake in Jiangbei, how much effort did it take to clean up the medical hall?" The traverser sighed on the back of the bolt.

To tell the truth, the area of this medical hall is really not large, and the front hall will be able to catch up with the street store in the previous life, but there is a courtyard in the back, and there are three bedrooms, but the area is not large. However, although the sparrow is small, this layout of the front store and the back of the store, which was originally designed for small business, means that the shop has all kinds of facilities and all daily necessities. The most important thing is that the Lan family actually got medical equipment in such a short time! Dozens of commonly used medicinal materials, silver needles and mugwort leaves for acupuncture, porcelain pots for decoction of medicine... There are a lot of them, and they fill the corners of the vestibule.

"It seems that I can save a lot of things, just open it!"

As early as last night, Lan Wang had already learned the part of the jade slip about medical skills through meditation - this is like the "sleep review method" that people joked about in the previous life, as long as you meditate for a while or sleep, the knowledge will run into the brain by itself. As a result, the traverser is even more convinced: he has come to a magical world!

So, the next day, whether it was the dignitaries on Guiyang Street or the small people on Jiangning Street, they all found that a new medical hall had opened quietly on the corner of the street, and the signboard was very loud: "Lan's Medical Center"! This Lan medical clinic has just opened, and there is only one doctor, and this doctor is not surnamed Lan, but Chen.

Chen Fengliang is the pseudonym of our traverser. Our little Dr. Chen's day was quite leisurely: we slept until we woke up naturally, had breakfast under the service of the servants, and then carried by the plug to the infirmary to sit in the hall. When no patients came, Lan Wang continued to enter a meditative state and practice martial arts; After the day's cultivation was completed, it was often not yet noon, and Young Master Lan began to study medical books or read other miscellaneous books to understand the world he was in. After eating the lunch brought by the family, take a nap, read a book for a while, practice calligraphy for a while, and it's almost time to go home.

If it were an ordinary person, they might say that Lan Wang's parents were really big and dared to raise their children like this - but Lan Wang really felt that his cheap parents were not ordinary people. If it is an ordinary couple, when they encounter such a big change and see such a big change in their children, they are either shocked or ecstatic, even if they are emotionally restrained, it will take a long time to accept and adapt. But their parents are different: after learning about Lan Wang's situation, they almost immediately adapted to the new situation faced by their son, quickly entered the new role of parents, and let their children go on their own to show their strengths. This kind of mentality, concept, and education method was quite rare even in previous lives.

"Maybe they just let me do this nonsense for the sake of Lan Fengyun's face? Or is it that the family of military generals wants to hone their male children in this way? ”

But Lan Wang just thought about it, and it didn't matter if he was about it.

There is a reason why he and his cheap parents came out to open a medical clinic. As an old mercenary, Lan Wang knew that if he wanted to obtain information, it would definitely not be a way to hide in a world. He must find a reasonable and legal and relatively safe channel to contact society. It is obviously unrealistic to set off to inspect the entire Yangguan Town at this juncture. Judging from the resources he has at hand now, if he wants to inquire about the news, becoming a doctor is the best choice. The profession of a doctor may not be particularly noticeable, but he has the opportunity to come into contact with people of all religions and nine ranks, after all, people eat whole grains, where can they not get sick? In this way, the traveler can gain a deeper understanding of the world in which he lives, the basic situation of this society, the living conditions of people, the degree of technological development, and so on. The most important thing is that Lan Wang can take this opportunity to initially build his own network, so as to capture all kinds of resources that are beneficial to himβ€”patients, even if they pay for the consultation, they always have to owe a little favor to the doctor. With human affection, you can pull the relationship, and if you pull the relationship, it will be easy to do things, and things can be done, are the traversers still worried about not being able to integrate into this new world?

For the first few days, there were hardly any patients in front of the hospital. Lan Wang also sat in the hall for three heavens before realizing that his medical hall location did not seem to be very good. Guiyang Street is full of rich and powerful people, and they naturally don't come to Lanwang, a mini medical center that is no better than a roadside stall; In addition to a few households on the neighboring Jiangning Street, most of the rest are poor families, who basically make a living by running errands or carrying hard work. Some of these people are sick and have no money to see a doctor, so those who are willing may go to the pharmacy or the door of the good hall to ask for a free bowl of dry grass tea to drink, and the right to clear the heat and remove the fire, and those who are not long-hearted simply let the patient fend for himself. Sandwiched between such two groups of potential customers at the poles of society, the embarrassment of Lan's Medical Center can be imagined.

But our travelers still don't care. He's just a kid under nine years old, and he has time to make plans for the future. So, he still went to work every day and sat in the hall, and after practicing martial arts, he sat down to read a book, not caring at all whether anyone came to his hospital to see a doctor.

Except for some Mengxue classics for young children (Lan Wang's parents knew that Lan Wang didn't need to read this anymore, but they still symbolically gave it to Lan Wang), Lan Wang spent most of his time on a book called "Miscellaneous Records of the Nine Clans". This is a record of the present world, the text in the book calls this world "Tianzhou", and divides the living beings in this world into nine races, except for the human race, which are the spirit race, the barbarian race, the earth tribe, the water tribe, the soul race, the ghost race, the Tianzhu tribe and the earth spirit tribe. These nine clans share the land of Tianzhou, and they will coexist and prosper in the course of several epochs, but they will also fight each other. Lan Wang read for a long time and roughly figured out some clues: the human race roughly occupies the center of Tianzhou, that is, the richest area; The spirit race and the barbarian race are the closest races to the human race, and their appearance is generally the same as that of humans, but the spirit people are fair-skinned, slender, and have an extremely long lifespan, and some spirit elders even have a lifespan of seven or eight hundred or even more than a thousand years; Although the barbarians are similar to humans, they are strong and imposing, and they are larger than humans of the same age, both male and female. At the beginning of the era, they lived on nomadic herding and fishing and hunting, and later relied on their brute strength and bloody nature to conquer all the way to the south, occupying a place on the Tianzhou continent, and then also imitating the style of the human race to set up an emperor and open a court, and established their own country in the north. The "Beiyu" mentioned in the story that the bolt told to Lan Wang earlier actually refers to the barbarians.

"It turns out that this Great Order Dynasty was driven to the south by the barbarian wild boar skin!" Lan Wang suddenly realized.

The Tu people mentioned in the book actually refer to the dwarf race. These dwarves tend to be less than half as tall as adult humans, and mostly live in caves in mountains and hills. Because they are good at digging and mining, they are called Tu tribes; The aquarium is a merman who lives in the sea, and most of the people are human and fishtailed. They have lived in the water since the beginning of the era, and are adept at navigating all kinds of sea creatures; The Soul Clan, as the name suggests, is an "ethereal" race, and their clansmen are like ghosts without a physical body, and can only float in the air, but the Soul Clan, which has a deeper cultivation skill, can condense a substantial body; The ghost people are not really ghosts, but because they have iron skin, unkempt hair, green fangs, and look like evil ghosts, they are feared by people to be called ghosts. These ghosts are formidable enemies on the battlefield, but they are not belligerent by nature; The Tianzhu clan is actually a giant clan, these Tianzhu people can be three to four times the height of an adult man, they are extremely large, and the vibration when they walk is claimed to be able to shake the mountains, but the civilization is relatively backward, and they still live in the tribal stage; The Terraguls are actually dwarves as wellβ€”they are somewhere between humans and natives in height. The Diluo people are good at farming, industrious and friendly, and are the most indisputable among the nine tribes in Tianzhou.

"Hehe, could it be that this Dilu clan is a hobbit?" Lan Wang smiled dumbly.

At the end of the book, a very rough map of Tianzhou is attached. Lan Wang knew as soon as he looked at this picture: this is not Wuhan, not China, not even the earth!

The place where the water flows into the river is indeed very similar to the Yangtze River flowing into the Han River, but the flow direction and trajectory of the river shown on the whole map are completely unrelated to the Yangtze River in the original plane. And if the shape of the Tianzhou continent and the direction of the coastline in this book do not overlap with any continent in the original world.

"Yes, you're in another world! And it's a fantasy world! Lan Wang shrugged as he read.

At night, Lan Fengshan walked into the main house of the Lan family's inner house.

The wife has been waiting in the room for a long time. When Wu Lanshi saw her husband coming back, she stepped forward and gently helped her husband untie the robe he was wearing outside: "Father, child, where are you going to work today?" ”

Lan Fengshan smiled, and obediently asked his wife to help him untie his clothes: "It's not too busy, it's just that the garrison camp has a little bit of a drill, supervises the drills, and then goes to the general to deal with the official documents, and the day has passed in such a trance." ”

The wife went to the bedside to fetch the water that had already been hot, scalded the towel and wiped her husband's face: "You might as well take care of Wang'er for a while." This kid seems to have opened up after a serious illness, but I'm always a little unsure! ”

"What? Are you worried that someone will be against him? ”

"No, I'm not worried about this, our Lan family still has the ability to protect their son, and I also believe you." Wu Lanshi tested the temperature of the towel, and then began to wipe her husband's cheeks, "I'm still worried that Wang'er will make a big move!" You say, if he had been mediocre, he might have achieved nothing when he grew up, but at least he wouldn't have caused disaster! Like him, who was originally unknown and once sharp, he would inevitably attract the calculations of people with ulterior motives! It is said that there are only 1,000 days to be a thief, and there is no 1,000 days to prevent thieves, I'm really worried! ”

Lan Fengshan turned his head to look at his wife, his eyes full of warmth: "But it's not that you haven't heard what this kid saidβ€”how can a child stay under the protection of his parents' wings forever?" He was born in the Lan family and grew up in Yangguan Town, which is destined for him to face all kinds of dirt and filth in this world in his later life. Can you and I protect him for a while and for a lifetime? ”

"But husband, I always feel that Master Fengyun said that Wang'er is a physical martial soul, but it is actually not a good thing. Look at those physical martial spirits in history, which one has a good death? If you want to take it, you must give it first, and there will be amazing talent instead. . . ”

"I see what you mean, needless to say, it's unlucky." Lan Fengshan rarely interrupted his wife in the middle of the conversation.

"Whether Wang'er is a martial soul or not, I Lan Fengshan don't know, and I don't care. What I am concerned about now is whether I can put the position of the head of the house in his hands! ”

"But what's so good about being the head of the house?! How much pressure you withstood when you sat in this position, how many ridicule you withdrew, how many open guns and dark arrows you knocked out! Toyoyama, I'm really tired, everything we have endured, I don't want our son to bear it too! ”

"Yongxuan, I understand what you mean, and I understand you," the general's expression on the north side of the town became serious, "But the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty!" If Wang'er didn't fight for the position of the head of the family, wouldn't those Xiaoxiao who were hiding in the dark attack him? Won't those with ulterior motives calculate him? For him, there are some things that can't be avoided, who let him be born in the Lan family and become the closest relatives of you and me! Instead of this, it is better to rise to the challenge and win the position of the head of the family, which can be regarded as an additional talisman! ”

Wu Lan wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, he just sighed: "Hey, I hope God can bless Wang'er... ”

It was late at night.

After Lan Fengshan confirmed that his wife beside him had fallen asleep, he got up and came to the door of the main room.

A dark shadow has been waiting here for a long time.

In the dim light, Lan Fengshan didn't say much, but asked briefly: "Have you found out?" ”

"Back to the general, the corpses have been found out, there are four bodies in total, three men and one woman, all of them are outlaws registered on the rivers and lakes. Gu worms were found in the body of the severed hand, and the other party used this hand to kill people and kill people, so that there was no proof of death. ”

"Who's behind this?"

The man in black paused: "After being found out by humble duty, these four killers are all members of the Gu Poison Sect. They had sent these four people to infiltrate the general's spy team very early, and they had been waiting for the opportunity to make a move. These people are all martial arts, and ordinary martial artists will definitely not be able to last three rounds in their hands. This time, thanks to Master Fengyun's action, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

"Although the Gu Poison Sect has a bad reputation, it has always been innocent and innocent with my Yangguan Town, why do they want to take Wang'er's life?"

"The Gu Poison Sect must not be the initiator, go and investigate again!"

"Humble duty understands! Also, this time these four killers entered the spy team, how to deal with the commander in charge of the secret agent? ”

Lan Fengshan was silent for a while: "Keep him and continue to observe to see if he has any changes." However, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so let's beat 50 military sticks and insert the standard camp for the public on the charge of dereliction of duty! ”

"Obey the order!"

"Also, thoroughly investigate the secret agent team, all suspicious people and so on are all detained and interrogated, if the identity of the traitor is confirmed, there is no need to ask for instructions, execute on the spot, and the first level orders the whole army!"

"Yes!"

The man in black turned around, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness of the dark night of Yangguan Town.
