Chapter 1: Adventures in the Barren Mountains
In the eighth year of Xining in the Northern Song Dynasty, the town of Wuzhou. Although it is close to the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the two countries of Song and Li have always been friendly, so they are far away from the war and have been peaceful for a long time. There is a big family in this Maple Leaf Town, surnamed Wu and named Jian. Generations have been in business, and the family has a lot of money. The ancestors also had several big officials, and they could be regarded as scholars.
Although Wu Jian is a powerful party, he only married one wife. The love between husband and wife is a match made in heaven, but he has never had children, so he is really anxious, and he can't do anything when he visits famous doctors. His wife was virtuous, and she also persuaded him to take a concubine, but he always refused to allow it. So after seeking medical treatment everywhere to no avail, he also accepted his fate, only saying that he had done evil in his previous life and would reap evil consequences in this life.
Since then, he has helped the weak and the poor, and has been kind and charitable, just seeking to get out of the sea of suffering. For more than ten years, as if God had mercy, the couple finally got what they wanted and were happy with their son. Wu Jian was naturally overjoyed when he got a middle-aged child, and named the child Wu Xi. He also loves Wu Xi very much, and he is reluctant to suffer any harm. In addition, Wu Xi is also competitive, he began to read at the age of three, and he was already able to write at the age of five. Of course, Wu Jian was overjoyed, as long as he asked for something, there was nothing he didn't agree to, he was really afraid of falling in his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth.
In the fourth year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Wu family study. Wu Xi sat behind his desk, holding a copy of the Book of Changes in his hand and looking at it carefully. It was about a quarter of an hour before he put down his book. Walk to the window and look at the scenery in the distance and relax your eye muscles. He has been in this world for six years, and he finally has some understanding of this world. This is a world very similar to Jin Yongda's novel "Dragon Babu", because he once heard the guards in the palace say "how powerful Shaolin martial arts are, how magical the Murong family's fighting stars are, and Dali's Duan clan and so on".
In this world, martial arts are prosperous, even if the guards on the Wufu Mansion are weak, the weak ones can't enter the body alone, and the strong ones are even more than a dozen ordinary adult men. The power of the government is slightly weak, and from time to time I will hear that a corrupt official in a certain place has been killed by a knight or something like that. So since he is already in this world, learning martial arts is what he must do. Because people like him will always subconsciously strengthen themselves and climb up to the top of the pyramid.
After a short rest, he began to pick up his book and read again. The books he read involved three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, among which Taoist classics were the majority. It's just that in Jin Yongda's world, the awesome martial arts are usually related to the Taoist and Buddhist families, and the general martial arts are mostly related to Confucianism. He has a flexible mind and a strong memory and comprehension, so he learns very quickly. The Wu family's collection of books is mostly Confucian, but Wu Xi has a request, Wu Jian naturally does everything, and tries his best to find various Taoist classics for him. So I don't have to worry about running out of books to read in a short period of time. In addition to reading, he also exercises regularly. Under the teaching of those guards who practice martial arts, systematically exercise the body.
It was close to noon when a group of people broke into the study and broke the silence. At the forefront was a slightly fat middle-aged man, followed by a beautiful woman who still had charm. It was his father Wu Jian and mother Yan, and behind them were some subordinates and maidservants. Looking at them, Wu Xi said with a black line on his face: "Can you knock on the door first and then come in!" This is my study," the more he said it, the more helpless his tone became. Sure enough, the beautiful woman walked straight up, knocked on his head and said, "I am your mother, he is your father, why are we knocking on the door!?" Touching his head, Wu Xi argued weakly: "This is the same thing as that, Mother." Seeing that his wife wanted to say more, Wu Jian hurriedly interjected: "Xi'er, you want to study and practice martial arts, and you are busy all day long, my father and your mother are really distressed when they see it!" Why don't you wait until you finish eating and go out to play, how can children not play? Wu Xi said speechlessly: "Other people's fathers are demanding how strict and good their children are, but you are good, you actually want me to go out and play children's tricks." How can there be a father like you. Wu Jian still smiled and said, "Ha, I don't ask you for anything." As long as you live this life in peace. So it doesn't matter if you study or not, my property is enough for you to enjoy in your life. Okay, let's go to lunch. Hearing him say this, Wu Xi was not very moved at the moment, because he was already numb with emotion. He just obediently replied "yes" and went with him to lunch.
After lunch, Wu Xi really went out. He has been out of the door for a long time, and it is indeed time to come out and walk. It's just that he was a little hesitant when he first went out, and he didn't know where to go when he went out for the first time. So I had to ask the entourage behind me: "Brother Shun?" Unexpectedly, he just screamed like this, but the young man behind him was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "If you don't want the young master to call me that, just call me Wu Shun." Seeing his frightened look, Wu Xi couldn't laugh, but just said to him: "You call me young master, this is to show respect to me." I call you Brother Shun to show closeness. Isn't that okay? Hearing him say this, the young man was a little moved, got up and said, "If the young master has something, just ask for it." So Wu Xi asked, "Are there any places to visit nearby?" Wu Shun replied: "Back to the young master, the most lively place in Maple Leaf Town is Wazi, there are many people there." And you can buy everything, both food and play, the young master might as well go there for a walk. The second is the Fuxian Temple, which is beautiful and large, and there are many believers. It is said that the abbot there was born in Shaolin Temple, and his martial arts are very strong. Wu Xi saw that he was clear and deferential, and he liked him a little. He smiled and said, "It's the sun now, and it's a little hot. As
How about going to Fuxian Temple first, and then going to Wazi? Wu Shun thought to himself: "Although the young master is only seven years old, he is not much worse than an adult, and he deserves to be called a prodigy." At that moment, he replied more respectfully to Wu Xi: "What the young master said is, so, please let me lead the way for the young master." ”
On the way to Fuxian Temple, Wu Xi also asked him a lot of things such as what forces were around him and about martial arts. It covers a wide range of topics, but he is often able to answer them fluently. So Wu Xi also had a preliminary understanding of him, thinking that he was a manufacturable material. asked, "Brother Shun, are you willing to practice martial arts?" Wu Shun was stunned, quickly knelt on the ground, and replied loudly: "Wu Shun wants to practice martial arts in his dreams, please fulfill the young master!" Wu Xi smiled and said, "From now on, you will follow Leader Zhao to learn martial arts." Then he asked the leader Zhao in the back, "Is it okay, Leader Zhao?" Leader Zhao, who had been following behind without saying a word, was also stunned, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Thanks to the young master, since this is the case, I will accept him as an apprentice." He turned to Wu Shun, who was still kneeling on the ground, and shouted: "Since the young master asked, you quickly kowtow to the master, and I will accept you as an apprentice." In the future, if you are successful in martial arts, you can also work for the young master! Wu Shun was full of joy, and climbed in front of Leader Zhao and was about to kowtow to apprentice, but Wu Xi interrupted: "There is no need to apprentice, Leader Zhao, you just need to teach him a little basic, and you don't have to give him a little bit of foundation." Wu Shun was a little disappointed when he heard it, but he still answered yes and slowly got up from the ground.
He didn't dare to say anything, but Commander Zhao on the side said with some dissatisfaction: "Young Master, when you asked me to teach you martial arts before, you also said that you only need to teach you a little bit of basics." I think the young master has a noble status, and I am not worthy of being the young master's master. Therefore, I don't expect you to apprentice to me, but just teach carefully to repay the master's kindness. But now although Wu Shun is the son of the housekeeper, to put it bluntly, he is just a subordinate, am I not worthy of being his master? After a pause, Fang Buddha was still a little angry, and continued: "I, Zhao Dan, think that although I am not a famous master in the rivers and lakes, if I am only in this Wuzhou, I am still such a character!" ”
Wu Xi was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "Of course, Commander Zhao is not a small person, he is only twenty-three years old, and he is already an invincible opponent in Wuzhou, and many Wuzhou seniors are not as good as you." Speaking of this, seeing Zhao Dan's face softened slightly, he continued: "But the 'Wushan Sword Technique' you practiced is really too simple, and the power is not enough. Not to mention your internal exercises that don't even have a name, just practice these, but you can't become a master, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out of Wuzhou. After listening to him, Zhao Dan's face was already flushed. His martial arts skills are indeed a big road, there is nothing surprising, and it is inevitable that Wu Xi will look down on it.
He lowered his head and said in frustration: "Young Master only knows that my exercises are big road goods, but he doesn't know how rare those powerful exercises are. Even my unpopular 'Wushan Knife' took a lot of effort to learn. You won't know how difficult it is for us ordinary people to want to practice martial arts. Seeing him like this, Wu Xi smiled again and said: "You don't have to be discouraged, you can achieve the current level just by learning this kind of big road goods, and your qualifications are beyond doubt." Besides, even if a real master only makes Taizu Changquan invincible, if you study hard, 'Wushan Knife' may not be able to become famous! When Zhao Dan heard this, he also felt a little better, stood up straight, arched his hand and said loudly: "What the young master said is true!" If I, Zhao Dan, study hard and practice hard, I may not be inferior to those disciples of famous sects! Seeing that he said it with great momentum, obviously thinking so, Wu Xi smiled and was relieved.
