Chapter 15: Nine Martial Arts

When my master packed up his things, Qiao Sanye also dusted off the soil on the corner of his clothes, and went out with his head held high.

When Qiao Sanye is alone with my master, he is always very relaxed, but once he gets along with someone other than my master, he becomes very serious.

It's actually not too rigorous to say this, if the person who appeared next to him and my master was me, Qiao Sanye wouldn't have deliberately put on a serious face.

As soon as he went out, he put his hands behind his back, and walked to the center of the courtyard with his steps, and more than twenty hardcover men who had been waiting in the courtyard early in the morning quickly gathered around Qiao Sanye, talking about something.

Since these people were so quiet, I couldn't hear what they were saying.

I just think that when these tall and wide men stood in front of Qiao Sanye, they seemed to be pressed by the thin Qiao Sanye.

Master rolled up the wooden box with his right arm, carried a gray cloth burden on his left shoulder, and carried a very long wooden box in his left hand.

I had never seen this thing before, so I asked Master, "What is this?" ”

"This is a fishbone gun, your ancestor's favorite weapon......

Master's words were not long, but when he said this, the light in his eyes changed several times in succession.

When the words "fishbone gun" were mentioned, the master's face was full of smiles that could not be hidden, but as soon as the master was mentioned, the smile on his face gradually put away, until the smile was no longer there, and he became silent.

I felt as if Master's words were unfinished, but in the end, he couldn't go on.

During this time, I occasionally heard Master mention Shizu, but every time Master would not talk deeply, just said that my Master's Dao name was "Yunmei", and he was also one of the most top-notch people in the industry decades ago.

When mentioning Shizu, the most common sentence of Master is: "Your Shizu is a true hero, no matter what people in the industry say about him, he is." ”

Whenever I said this, Master's expression was very serious, although I didn't know Shizu, but I felt that since Master said so, then Shizu must be a hero, well, it must be right.

In fact, at that time, I also didn't know what the word "hero" meant.

Qiao Sanye talked with the people in the courtyard for a while, then turned around and beckoned to Master and me.

Master handed the long wooden box to his right hand, clamped the wooden box tightly with only the crook of his arm, and then led me with his left hand and walked out of the room step by step.

Qiao Sanye had already prepared the car outside the courtyard, and when he led me and Master to the car, I suddenly felt a little reluctant about this small courtyard where I had lived for half a month, so I leaned on the back window and looked at the gate of the courtyard.

The master didn't look back, but just said to Qiao Sanye, who was holding the steering wheel, "Let's go." ”

I turned my head to look at Qiao Sanye, and I saw Qiao Sanye looking at my master from the rearview mirror, he twisted the key, and the engine hummed, but the car didn't drive out.

After a long time, Qiao Sanye asked in the rearview mirror: "Do you really want to leave?" ”

"Sit down," Master first pulled me to sit down, and then smiled at Third Master Qiao: "Let's go." ”

Qiao Sanye nodded and let the car move.

Master put one hand around my shoulder and the other gently held my hand until the car drove out of the alley, and then he let go of my hand with a long breath.

It was only after I became an adult that I learned that in order to be able to take down the courtyard house in Feng Ho City, the master had exhausted most of his life's efforts, and suddenly asked him to pawn this family business, and it was naturally impossible to say that there were no regrets at all. What's more, for my master, that courtyard originally had an extraordinary significance.

Not long after the car started, I fell asleep groggily, waking up and sleeping several times along the way, sometimes I opened my eyes to see the day, sometimes I saw the night, and sometimes, Master and Qiao Sanye would pull me out of the car for a meal, and I couldn't tell how far and how long I had walked along the way.

It wasn't until the car drove into the 100-mile mountain that Master shook my shoulders again and gently woke me up.

I thought it was time to eat again, and when I opened my eyes, I looked out the car window, just to see what rare things Qiao Sanye was going to take us to eat, but when I opened my eyes, I found that there were only continuous mountains outside the window, and the winter forest that could not be seen at a glance.

"It's a nice place." Master's voice sounded behind me.

Qiao Sanye glanced at the rearview mirror and said: "At best, the mountains in this place are good, and the spirit is enough, which is indeed suitable for cultivation, but if it is bad, the general trend of feng shui in this generation is to tend to yin and avoid yang. ”

Hearing what Third Master Qiao said, the master smiled instead: "It's good if there are more dirty things, the cultivation of our vein is fed with dirty things." ”

When Master said this, I immediately had a strange image of Master holding a spoon and feeding me mud, but the point is that you don't know if the spoon is mud or something else.

Originally, when Master woke me up, I was still hungry and had a very strong appetite, but as soon as this picture appeared, I lost my appetite at all.

At this time, I heard Master ask me, "You have memorized the first part of the "Plain Book" that I taught you two days ago, right?" ”

Two days ago, when I got off the bus for dinner, Master did read some inexplicable things in front of me, and I obviously couldn't understand a word, but Master asked me to memorize all the things he read out.

I thought that the master was going to take the school exam again, so I quickly recited it: "The five principles of husband, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, and propriety are all one." The Taoist, what man does, so that all things do not know the reason for it. The virtuous one, the gain of man, so that all things get what they want. The benevolent one is the one who is close to the people......"

Master waved his hand to interrupt me: "Okay, it seems that you have memorized it." This "Plain Book" is the foundation of all Xiaolongtan's unique learning, since you have memorized it firmly, next, we can learn something else. If you want to say that we have this lineage, there are a total of nine peerless studies, which are soul collection, walking yin, ghost lighting, painting skin, touching bones, three immortal talismans, as well as concealment, plain hands, and flying stones and willows. Which one do you want to learn first? ”

When Master listed the nine peerless schools in front of me one by one, I was completely confused, I had never heard of these things he said, let alone let me choose one to learn.

Qiao Sanye couldn't help laughing: "What's the use of you telling him this, how does he know how to choose?" ”

But my master was very stubborn: "Whichever art he chooses means that he is destined for this masterpiece." ”

I carefully recalled what Master had just said, and only after a long time did I speak: "Then Feishi will ask Liu." ”

The reason why I chose this is because this peerless science has the longest name.

But my master frowned: "You are weak now, you should strengthen your physique first, learn to hide your body and use your hands." ”
