Walking into the gate of the Taoist temple, you will see a clearing, the land is very flat, and along the corner of the outer wall is a row of wooden people, whose heads, bodies and limbs are painted with round red dot arrow targets, which should be used for training kendo.

Directly in front of it is a very large ancient Ying-style building, with a square spire, white walls and gray tiles, a wooden frame paper door, and a cherry blossom tree painted on the paper door, with flower petals fluttering. The floor is made of side-by-side wooden strips, about one meter above the ground, which is moisture-proof and breathable.

Take off your shoes in the long hallway outside and walk into the dojo. The place is very open, there are hundreds of square meters, there are calligraphy words hanging on the wall, there are words such as "Aiki", "Virtue and Virtue", "Double Cultivation of Virtue and Martial Arts", "Heavenly Crow Kendo", and there are all kinds of strange pine potted plants in the corner of the wall.

On the whole, the decoration is slightly old, mildew spots can be seen in many places, and the wooden beams on the top are also somewhat deformed.

There was a small coffee table and cushion on the ground, and when he saw that Yuejin Island invited Chen Xing to sit down and personally moved the cushion for Chen Xing, he looked very respectful and enthusiastic.

Seeing Yuejin Island's restrained action of boiling water and making tea, seeing Yuecanglia taking Li Mei to the kitchen to help her adoptive mother respect lunch, Ye Qian stayed by Chen Xing's side to serve.

"The little girl is grateful for her care."

After making tea, I saw Tsutsushima offering it with both hands, and performed the gift of the master and servant, and was respectful. Chen Xing could see that Tsukitsujima loved her daughter very much, he was just a little baron from a remote area, and he didn't need to do this. Respect him is all about making him kind to his daughter.

"Do you usually teach?" Chen Xing asked without words.

"There are a few students." Tsukitsushima replied.

"I heard Canglian say, your Heavenly Crow Knife Stream has a history of thousands of years, how can there be so few students?" Chen Xing asked.

Seeing that Tsutsushima looked a little cramped, he smiled and said, "The dojo is too old, and the propaganda is not very good, so there are relatively few people who come to study, and they are all residents of the neighborhood. ”

He sighed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that the little girl joined the academy just to help the family raise a fee for the revitalization of the dojo, my father has done nothing in my life, I have no ability, I am ashamed of my ancestors......"

Then, he talked about the rise and fall of the crow for thousands of years.

In fact, the history of the Heavenly Crow Kendo can be said to be a microcosm of the history of the development of martial arts in the entire red clay world.

In ancient times, science and technology were not developed, and cold weapons were used to fight. Based on strength, martial arts can be carried forward. In modern times, science and technology have climbed and thermal weapons have been developed. The power of firearms and artillery is far greater than that of manpower, not to mention all kinds of missiles. As a result, martial arts declined and declined day by day.

After the cataclysm, the spiritual energy was revived, the genetic lock of the human being was broken, the power of the body was liberated, the physical body blocked bullets, punched mechas, and slashed helicopters were not a problem, and the martial arts were fully revived.

Due to the post-cataclysm, the Human Survival Council banned the development and manufacture of a variety of weapons of mass destruction, the development of thermal weapons stagnated, coupled with the emergence of psionic armor, the role of traditional firearms became smaller and smaller, and gradually became the exclusive domain of low-level soldiers.

All strong people above the town guard level tend to fight in close combat, and there are very few accurate shooters like Chen Xing. Of course, the small effect does not mean that it can be ignored, if the strong stand there and do not move, they will also be beaten into a hornet's nest, after all, the spiritual energy will be exhausted.

Unless it is a legendary powerhouse in the Whale Swallowing Period and the Celestial Conjunction Period, it can absorb energy directly from the void, and it is inexhaustible. Like Chen Xing, who builds a tower with three floors, the energy can't withstand consumption at all.

Usually when the big town is guarded, the physical strength has reached the limit of one's own talent and can no longer move forward. The insect-transformed wolf bloodline is Chen Xing's ceiling, and the limit of physical strength will not exceed the species of insect-transformed wolf.

One level higher, it relies on the realm of mastering spiritual energy. Communicate with the earth's leylines, absorb energy from the earth's core, expand the spirit pool, steal fire and steal the sky, and manifest the realm. Then break through the spatial crystal shell, swallow the void, and finally merge into the void, and the universe is consummated.

Only when the spirit pool is large enough and the supply of spiritual energy is sufficient can the existence of the spirit be maintained. It is not possible to sustain it for a long time simply by absorbing free psionic energy and using potions in the air. However, a low-level imperial spirit like the Wolf King does not consume much, but it does not have enough strength to communicate with the undercurrent of time and space, and the result of forcible communication is to be captured and swallowed by the evil existence in the darkness.

In the middle of his thoughts, he saw Tsukitsushima take out a small old wooden box. Open the drawer-style lid and there are some old yellowed photos inside.

"This is when Canglian was five years old." Seeing Yuejin Island, he handed it to Chen Xing one by one to watch.

In the photo, the moon canglian is wearing a Taoist robe, a wooden sword at her waist, a white belt tied on her forehead, her head is raised, and her spirit is incomparable.

"This is when she was six years old......"

Carrying a small schoolbag, wearing a watermelon hat, and a serious face, it is very cute.

"...... at the age of seven"

Sitting on his knees in the dojo and doing his homework like a little adult.

"Nine-Year-Old ......"

At this time, the moon canglia has already been revealed, quiet and indifferent, standing in a pavilion, with the taste of a little goddess.

It happened that at this time, seeing Yuecanglia coming in with a freshly made pastry, and seeing the two of them looking at photos of her when she was a child, her face suddenly turned red, her waist twisted, and she went out.

"Canglian was sensible when she was a child, studied seriously, and often helped with housework and took care of my incompetent father......" As she spoke, she saw tears in Tsukishima's eyes, and hurriedly turned her face away to prevent the guests from seeing it.

"Don't worry, I'll be good to her." Chen Xing comforted.

There is no parent in the world who wants to let their children be slaves. Chen Xing knew that it was his words that Yuetsushima was waiting for.

"Thank you, thank you, sir." Seeing Yuetsushima, he wiped his eyes vigorously and thanked Chen Xing.

Chen Xing didn't help the other party and accepted the gift unceremoniously. Because this is the only thing a down-and-out father can do for his daughter.

"I plan to invest 30,000 gold coins to repair the Raven Gym and expand my business." Chen Xing said.

Although the academy would give Mitsuki Tsushima a sum of money, due to the fact that there was no bidding, and because Mitsuki Canglian herself consumed a lot of evolution potions, and slaughtered the academy, Catherine only calculated according to the minimum standard of 20,000 gold coins. In other words, Mitsukitsushima can only get about 7,000 gold coins after tax.

With the talents of seeing the moon lotus, it is not a problem to shoot five or six hundred thousand, or even millions. In front of excellent women, there is always no upper limit to money.

"Thank you so much!" Seeing Tsukitsushima once again prostrate himself on the ground and thanked him.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely carry forward the Heavenly Crow Sword Dao and cultivate talents for adults!" Seeing Yuezushima, he said with a little excitement, "We have three secret meanings, the return of the crow, the freshness of the sword, and the decisive slash of the crow, and we have enough market competitiveness." ”

"Can I learn this?" Chen Xing suddenly asked. He has always preferred the dark light pattern knife, but he doesn't know any martial arts, and it's all wild.

Seeing that Yuezushima was stunned for a moment, he immediately said, "The little girl has done her best to pass on the true legend of the Crow Kendo, if the adult needs to refer to it, just let her practice, but ......" Seeing Yuezushima paused, "I watched the live broadcast that day, the adult's kendo has already become a school of its own, the heart and sword are one, just adjust it slightly." ”

Chen Xing thought about it, martial arts is like a day for ten years, not ten days and half a month can be practiced. Moreover, the role of martial arts is only that of confrontation of the same power level. In terms of level gap, no matter whether you are a crow or a tengu stream, they will all be slapped to death.

To put it bluntly, the lord level doesn't fight with you, but the spirit is on it. The role of martial arts is there, but it is not cost-effective compared to years of training. With this idle time, it is better to study how to break through the barrier of the spirit pool, build a tower to complete, and then perceive the leylines, steal the spirit and steal the fire, and manifest the realm.

After a long journey, suddenly fatigue hit, and Chen Xing subconsciously stretched his waist.

"My lord, would you like to take a nap next to you?" Tsukitsushima asked with concern.

"Hmm." Chen Xing nodded.

Seeing Tsukitsushima get up and open the paper door on the side, revealing the corridor on the other side.

"Bell bell bell ......"

The breeze blows, and the wind chimes hanging under the eaves make a pleasant sound. The small bridge under the corridor flows water, and the bamboo leaves are fragrant. On the edge of the rockery, a small waterwheel made of bamboo tubes swings gently. This is a typical Ying-style building, with a large open space in front of the house, a bamboo forest pool and a rockery mountain cart behind the house.

Chen Xing lay in the corridor and took a nap. Ye Qian knelt beside him and used his thighs as pillows.

Thoughts gradually sank into the sea of knowledge. The sea was calm, the chains were still there, and the wolf spirit was trapped in it, constantly roaring at him.

Although he came out to help that day, when he returned to the realm, the wolf spirit was still unruly and fought with him for control of his body.

"Brother, we are one and not enemies."

"Woohoo!" The wolf spirit roared at him, struggling frantically, chains breaking layer by layer.

"If you are willing to cooperate, when I go back to Orchid Town, I will go to the Black Death Jungle to help your clan, as well as your wife and children."

The wolf spirit froze, scarlet eyes staring into his eyes. It didn't take long for them to start struggling again.

"Stubborn." Chen Xing scolded, ignored the wolf spirit, and went to sleep.

The breeze is cool, cool and comfortable, and the back of the head is pillowed with elastic thighs, and I gradually fall asleep.

Chen Xing slept for more than half an hour, and when he woke up, lunch was ready, and the small black sandalwood table was lined with sushi and sake, including caviar sushi, grilled eel pieces, cucumber rolls, soy sauce soup, and more. Everyone sat upright, waiting for him to wake up.

In the middle position, Chen Xing sat down and saw Yuecang Lian holding a small wine jug to pour wine for him.

"Thank you for your trust." Seeing Tsutsushima raised his glass and said.

Chen Xing raised his glass and greeted, and the two drank it all.

Tsukitsushima prepared four small tables and four lunches, but two of the tables were unoccupied. Because it was not customary, the servants ate only after their master had finished eating. But on the other hand, Mitsukitsushima doesn't know which ones are to accompany and which ones are served, so make more preparations.

"Old K, little brother, sit down and eat." Chen Xing beckoned his hand and let Lao K and the younger brother of the moon canglia sit at the table, there were too few people to eat, and there was no atmosphere.

Since the master had an order, Lao K sat down generously, and saw that Yuecanlian's younger brother also sat down with his mother's consent. The next meal, of course, was eaten soundly.
