Chapter 23: Secrets of the Tang Dynasty
"Okay, junior brother, that's the end of today, come to study every morning during this time until you fully grasp it." Near noon, Luo Chengcai stopped teaching and said.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your hard work." Situ Changfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said gratefully.
"My father-in-law has no children under his knees, as far as I know, there are no other disciples, he teaches you marksmanship and boxing skills, this is to treat you as a closed disciple, and I will also teach him the old man, so you don't have to be polite, in the future, when you meet his old man, just do more snacks." Luo Cheng patted Situ Changfeng on the arm and said.
"Senior brother, even if you don't say it, I will take good care of the master when I meet him." Situ Changfeng nodded vigorously and said, with Luo Cheng's intentions, Situ Changfeng secretly made up his mind that if he really met Ding Yanping, he would definitely be filial as a master.
"That's good, although the world looks peaceful now, but the undercurrent is surging, and you can't do it without a good kung fu." Luo Cheng nodded with satisfaction and admonished.
"Senior brother, can you introduce the younger brother, the younger brother has lived in Luoyang since he was a child and knows nothing about the outside world." Situ Changfeng asked curiously.
This is a completely different world, as far as I can understand, I'm afraid I really don't know anything except for some names, and Luo Cheng is the one who really understands.
"There are many people in the world, everywhere, every family has a master in charge, and some long-standing families, dynasties, and people have hidden in the world for thousands of years, and they can't understand it as a brother.
However, today, the number one master is recognized as Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao, which is why the Tang Dynasty is so stable that no one dares to make any changes. Luo Cheng thought for a moment and introduced.
"King Zhao Li Yuanba! Isn't there a legend that he died? Situ Changfeng said in surprise.
"Legends are often unreliable, when King Zhao faked his death, it was just to draw out some unstable people, but as soon as he emerged, he was solved by us, and all King Zhao took the opportunity not to show up, of course, so many years have passed, and many people know that he is still alive." Luo Cheng snorted coldly and said.
"Senior brother, what kind of person is King Zhao? Legend has it that he can run a horse with his arms and stand with his fists. Situ Changfeng asked very curiously.
"Haha! Who did you listen to, how could it be so exaggerated, and on the contrary, King Zhao was born with a strange talent, looking like a sick ghost and skinny
But the two arms have the strength of four elephants, using a pair of drums to ask the golden hammer, a single weight of 400 catties.
Coupled with Dacheng's scorching sun skills, the true qi is strong, and he treats thousands of troops and horses as if they were nothing. Luo Cheng said admiringly.
"Senior brother, since there is the first in the world, there must be the second and third, who are they?" Situ Changfeng asked.
"There is no second, third, because no one will be convinced, and it has not been recognized, so you work hard, junior brother, you are also born with extraordinary talents, and you want to have the opportunity to fight in the future." Luo Cheng encouraged.
"The senior brother laughed, the eyes of the younger brother did not cause any trouble, and many people looked at them ominously." Situ Changfeng said with a wry smile.
Although these eyes do have an additional delusional characteristic now, this thing is too mysterious to say to people.
"Today, there are many masters, but there is an agreement that everyone abides by, the heaven-level masters are not allowed to fight in informal wars, and the prefecture-level masters over the age of thirty need to be notified to the place wherever they go, of course, the imperial court does not use it, but the heaven-level generals can go to the place at will.
However, generally no one would do this, because if a heaven-level martial artist went to a place, it would be easy to be surrounded and killed.
After all, the threat of a heaven-level martial general on the battlefield is too great, and he can't kill him if he has the chance. Luo Cheng continued.
"Senior brother, you are a heaven-level general, right?" Situ Changfeng stared at Luo Cheng and asked cautiously.
"Yes, there are two kinds of heaven-level generals, one is our kind of generals, and there is another kind of wise generals, they have huge energy, command the army to fight, as if watching the fire from the other side, insight into the situation, thousands of troops, such as the arm of the finger, if you have special soldiers and horses, even if you are a heaven-level general, you will be besieged and killed."
"It is precisely because we in Datang have the most heaven-level generals and wise generals that we can suppress the Eight Desolations." Luo Cheng said proudly.
"Are there many heaven-level generals?" When Situ Changfeng heard this, it turned out that the heaven-level martial arts general was so powerful, and he suddenly felt that the world was so dangerous, so he swallowed his saliva and continued to ask.
"Not much, more of them are the ninth order of the earth level, the tenth order of the Great Perfection, if you want to reach the heaven level, it is very difficult, and everyone's promotion is different, so I can't teach you in this regard." Luo Cheng explained.
"Hehe, it's still early for the little brother, and now the Xuan level has not yet arrived, and if you want the ground level, I don't know how long it will take." Situ Changfeng said with a smile.
"Little junior brother, don't be presumptuous, as long as you cultivate your true qi before twenty, plus good exercises, there is no problem at the ground level, if you have a famous teacher to guide you and the help of medicinal materials, you can advance very quickly, so you have to be careful of the children of those big families, they have superior conditions, they are stuck on the edge of the ground level when they are more than ten years old, there are many people, they only need to go through life and death training, and they can be promoted to the ground level." Luo Cheng explained.
"I see, junior brother understands, thank you senior brother." Situ Changfeng suddenly realized, and only then did he understand some questions about cultivation.
"Well, that's all for today, talking too much at once will be bad for you." Luo Cheng waved his hand and motioned for Situ Changfeng to leave.
"Little brother farewell!"
…………
Situ Changfeng returned to the small courtyard, Du He was talking about something with his eyebrows fluttering, and the others gathered around, listening attentively.
"I'll hear what you're so happy about." Situ Changfeng said loudly with a smile when he entered.
"Big brother!" The brothers looked back and got up to salute.
"How did you brothers get today?" Situ Changfeng saw a few brothers and asked happily.
"It's okay, I've taught everyone, and I also have teaching mental martial arts, and it's up to me whether I learn it or not." Zhang Wang introduced.
"You haven't seen the most critical big brother, one of the three beauties of Luoyang Martial Arts Academy today, actually appeared." Du He said mysteriously.
"And women?" Situ Changfeng was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Why not, the eldest princess of Pingyang, the founding of the country, but her strength is extraordinary, she is two heaven-level generals of the Tang Dynasty, and she commands millions of troops, and she is a commander who even Wei Guo Gong Li Jing admires.
Since her, many women in Datang have taken it as their goal and practiced martial arts one after another. Du He foamed at the mouth and introduced.
"Second brother, who did you say there was another heaven-level woman?" Ma Zhan asked curiously.
These teenagers have just come out of the house, and of course they don't know as much about these news as the head snake Du He.
"Of course, it's the Duchess of Weiguo, the red whisk girl known as the Red Lady." Du He glanced at Ma Zhan with disdain and said, as if he didn't understand a few people.
