Chapter 16: Martial Master Li Ming

After drinking for a long time, the two teenagers were obviously a little unsupportable; The two are not good drinkers on weekdays and are quite safe in everything, and they also understand the truth of drunkenness and misdeeds. However, during this period, the two still chatted freely, and Tianjihong also learned a lot of secrets of the martial arts world that could not be touched in Donglin Village on weekdays, and had a general idea of the power between the Xiwu continents.

According to Bai Qian, the Bai family lives in Baijiabao in the southeast of Dongsheng Town. Baijiapu is located in the East China Sea, which is the farthest peninsula extending eastward between the Seibu continent in addition to the Ziri River region, and even the east seaport to the north is not as wide as its field of vision, which can be described as a strategic place with a bird's-eye view of the East Sea and the Far Sea. In addition, it is surrounded by mountains, and only a straight avenue on the west side that is firmly controlled by the Bai family's guards can be entered, which is definitely an excellent area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, the Bai family has been baptized by war since ancient times. Whether it was the Black Dragon Society in the Tianling region not far to the south, or the Shiyu Sect, which was known as the strongest sect in the mainland, or even the Tianying Martial Mansion, which was far away on the other side of the continent and coveted the land of the Xiwu Continent all the time, they all coveted this Baijiabao and wanted to take it into their pockets. According to Bai Qian, these forces have developed a lot of supporters and internal responses in their clans, and if it weren't for the various open and secret battles between the several forces, I am afraid that the leadership of the family in his grandfather's hands would have been handed over long ago.

Hearing such words, Tian Jihong couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart. Who would have thought that such a huge ancient martial arts family would repeatedly resist foreign enemies for thousands of years, and there would be existential crises again and again, but the final fall would come from the division and betrayal within the family. In addition, Tian Jihong naturally asked for some information about the Shiyu Sect. It's a pity that even Bai Qian, who is the young master of the Bai family, knows very little about this mysterious first sect in the martial world, and can only inform himself of some widely circulated information about the Shiyu Sect in the martial world.

According to what he said, since Gu Qingxiao established the sect decades ago, Shi Yu Sect has established its hegemony on the Xiwu Continent in just a few years, and its strength can be described as unfathomable. Inside the sect, from the sect master Gu Qingxiao down, the four elders of cloud, wind, thunder, and rain are all terrifying powerhouses who are famous in the martial arts world, and any one person who takes them out and puts them in the Xiwu Continent is enough to sweep through an ordinary sect; Under the four of them, there are dozens of ordinary elders and more than 100 inner deacons in the Shiyu Sect, all of whom can be called the top masters in the martial arts world.

The strength of the younger generation under his disciples should not be underestimated, and most of the people he was lucky enough to defeat today were the personal disciples of an ordinary elder, but his status was only the same in the Shiyu Sect. Most of the dozens of elders in his sect will cultivate several family lineages; There are at least hundreds of people like him in the Shiyu Sect, and they just have the qualifications to compete for the true inheritance of the Shiyu Sect. And those true disciples in the true sense of the word, there have never been more than ten people in the Shiyu Sect, and all of them have the cultivation talent against the heavens and the strength that far surpasses their peers; Under the personal training of the four elders, they were all able to steadily rank among the elders of the sect in the future.

As for the strength of the four elders and above Gu Qingxiao, Bai Qian did not know, in fact, even those in the martial arts world who were lucky enough to see the true strength of these legendary figures were only a few people. Bai Qian just heard that in the wars launched by the Rain Sect on weekdays, the four elders have always been invincible, and they are invincible everywhere they go, and they can't find the enemy of their ten moves at all; And that Gu Qingxiao has not made a move for decades, and I am afraid that no one in the world knows what kind of state his cultivation has reached. However, above these four elders, there was also a deputy sect master in the Shiyu Sect, who was once also a famous figure in the Eight Directions, and it was recognized in the martial arts world at that time that he would definitely be the successor of Gu Qingxiao. But now that this person has disappeared for nearly a decade, many people speculate that he may have died in the battle with the Heavenly Martial Arts, or that he has not recovered from his injuries.

The more Tianjihong listened to what Bai Qian said, the more frightened he became. It's no wonder that when he heard that his enemy had such a terrifying background, and no one even knew all his methods, the pressure in Tian Jihong's heart was naturally needless to say. In the next half an hour, Tianjihong then asked Bai Qian for some other information and asked about the method of cultivation. But this time, Bai Qian didn't help much; It's not that he's hiding his secrets, but that the practice must be accompanied by the mantra of the exercises, and with unremitting efforts in the future, it can continue to improve. In just ten minutes, it was impossible for Bai Qian to directly help Tian Jihong cultivate spiritual power, and it was impossible to teach the Bai family's internal methods without authorization, so he only briefly told Tian Jihong about some bottlenecks and skills that he would encounter in his cultivation.

Seeing that it was almost time to separate, the two had a feeling of meeting a confidant by chance after a detailed discussion; At this time, they couldn't help but feel a little sad, and they didn't know when they would be able to meet again in the future after this farewell. Tianjihong refused Bai Qian's desire to fund a large amount of money for himself, and he always hoped in his heart that he would rely on his own efforts to fight for opportunities, as his father taught in the letter; Today, Bai Qian can be willing to tell so much useful information, and he is really unwilling to accept such a charity. However, under the sincere invitation of the other party, he agreed without hesitation, if there is a chance to go to Baijiabao to get together in the future, he will have a drink with Bai Qian again.

After some greetings, Tianjihong reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Qian and set foot on the way home. And Bai Qian, who was a step behind, was still looking at the direction of Tianjihong's long-disappeared back with interest at this time, and didn't seem to notice that the moment when he had agreed to meet everyone before had passed, and he muttered in his mouth: "Tianjihong... What an interesting person, but why is this name so familiar, Tianji ......" After a while, his gaze suddenly froze, "Wait! I remember more than ten years ago, in the mighty martial arts realm, the sword king who broke the Shiyu Sect with his wife on the top of Shiyu Mountain and defeated the deputy sect master and elder of Shiyu Sect seems to be called... Tianjilin? Could it be that this Tianjihong will be ......? ”

The long journey back gradually extinguished the interest of Tianji Honggang and Bai Qian's cup. Now he has experienced all kinds of eye-opening scenes in this day, and his thoughts have traveled all the way to the eight corners of the martial arts world; But after returning to reality at this moment, he reluctantly found that the problems in front of him had not been solved, and he still had not found a suitable way to start cultivating. Now he doesn't have enough money on hand, and what he planned before, whether he retreated to find other martial arts hall apprentices, or sought the help of other monks to open the storage sachet, in Tian Jihong's opinion, it was not a proper way. It's just that now I can't think of a better idea, so I have to go home first and discuss with my brother before making a decision. At this moment, he really regretted it in his heart, at that time, he refused Bai Qian's kindness in the tavern for the sake of face, it is impossible to say that he does not envy those children of the family who were born with fine clothes and food and clothing, and even Bai Qian, the young master of a declining family, is still rich and wealthy, and he has never worried about money at all.

After nearly two hours of travel, the tired Tianjihong finally stepped into Donglin Village at dusk. At this moment, he only wanted to go home and reunite with his brother quickly, and did not plan to stay in the village too long; But at this time, he suddenly found that the familiar figure he saw next to the inn yesterday was standing in the same position again. Today, he seemed to have just finished his cultivation, and he was wiping his sweat and retracting the treasure knife in his hand from the scabbard, preparing to turn back and walk in the direction of the inn.

"This senior, please wait!" How could Tianjihong let go of such an opportunity again. Yesterday, when this person practiced the martial arts, he was able to feast his eyes on the fierce sword, and at that time he had already had the idea of getting acquainted with him, but he was forced to rush home at that time to open his father's belongings, so he missed the opportunity; Today, he was so lucky that Tian Jihong met this person here, and this time he said that he would come forward and give it a try.

The practitioner stopped, apparently hearing Tian Jihong's shout. After approaching, Tianjihong saw the whole picture of this person today: this guy looked quite strong, tall, and even surpassed Uncle Sheng, who was already burly; The strong muscles between his arms are concave and convex, and layers of calluses can be faintly seen between the broad palms, and at a glance he knows that what he practices on weekdays is the martial arts of the most rigid and fierce; Judging from his face, this middle-aged person looks like he is about forty or fifty years old, with sharp and angular cheeks, eyes that are not angry and arrogant, plus a lean short black hair, he looks very energetic. It is different from Mo Sheng, who is a farmer, although this person is exposed to the sun for a long time every day to practice, but his skin is not as dark and rough as Mo Sheng, only showing a very light bronz, and it can even be said to be quite white.

"Little one, were you just calling me?" Looking at Tian Jihong, who was walking briskly, this person was also a little puzzled.

"Yes, sorry to interrupt your time. I came to you because I saw your predecessors practicing martial arts in the village under the scorching heat yesterday, and I felt a lot of admiration for your perseverance and perseverance. I guess you must be a powerful cultivator, and the kid came here today because he wanted to get to know his seniors, and if possible, he would like to learn the method of cultivation from you as a teacher! Tian Jihong said with some excitement, and directly picked out the purpose of his coming.
