Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 8 The world is full of profit
Liu Jizu was dumbfounded when he heard this, this was completely different from what he thought, and it completely subverted his view of the rivers and lakes. He asked timidly, "What are the tasks?" Also, what does our sect want so much money for?"
Wu Lun said angrily: "I can't even eat without money, don't say anything else, just say that you have spent money on building the foundation for the past three years? When you get to the end, you will spend more, it will increase exponentially, and this is not counting your equipment, do you say you don't have any money?"
Liu Jizu's main energy over the years has been spent on studying, and he has not paid much attention to these details in life. At this time, when I heard that I had spent so much money, I didn't know what to say for a while.
Wu Lun saw that he was speechless, and then said: "I have been observing you for a long time, and I know that you don't understand this. Don't you find that many children of your age have long gone out to work to earn money, or even work as slaves? You can have such good luck, first, you are an only son, and your family spoils you, second, you rely on Mr. Tian for help, and third, you fight for your own strength, but you can't stop yourself from knowing the suffering of the world because of this.
Although money is a bastard, it has been the most important thing since there was money! In the future, you must have the awareness of this aspect, and you must be able to make money and save money, otherwise you will starve to death without anyone to kill you. The sect is even more so, such a large organization, to support so many idlers with six surnames, where to use food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is also necessary to develop, purchase, and collect all kinds of martial arts, design, develop, and build various instruments, feed, breed, and collect different spirit animals, and purchase, process, and make all kinds of medicinal materials. I also have to prepare all kinds of other supplies, do you think you can do it with less money?"
Seeing Liu Jizu's speech, Wu Lun became even more energetic, "As for the task, it is divided into two categories. One type is sent by the sect, such as sending letters, attending meetings, capturing spirit beasts, looking for elixirs, developing martial arts, avenging fellow sects, and so on. The other type is the sect to undertake the outside, mostly bodyguards, guards, searching, exploring objects and the like. The remuneration is set according to the difficulty of the task, the highest difficulty has thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the lowest has ten taels of silver, and you can buy an acre of good land in a remote place. However, the task remuneration of our sect is relatively high, unlike the other two sects, undertaking tasks is the main income of our sect, and you will know it when you go to the sect. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jizu couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking about the difference between this and the world, I used to read martial arts novels, and heroes almost didn't worry about money, why do you need money everywhere here.
Wu Lun ignored him and continued: "Today, you are apprenticed, which means that you are a member of Lezhi Academy, and you can learn real martial arts. I have four martial arts, namely Pingjibu, Xuanyuan Sword, Meteor Stone and Honghuang Fist, which two do you want to learn?"
"What's the difference between these martial arts, Master, tell me in detail first, I'll have a good choice. ”
Wu Lun nodded, and praised Liu Jizu's caution, "Pingjibu is a set of martial arts for training speed and leg techniques, focusing on endurance, lightness, and dexterity, and it is a semi-attacking and semi-auxiliary technique. It can be used for normal walking, but also can be used with other martial arts for leg attacks, and increase the speed and power of other martial arts attacks, and can also greatly increase the speed of escape when encountering danger. ”
Liu Jizu liked this Pingji step very much, but he held his breath and continued to listen without saying a word.
"The Xuanyuan Sword is a traditional martial art of Lezhi Academy, and it has been inherited for the longest time. It is said to be created by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, simple, practical, easy to learn, it is an offensive technique, and it must be combined with a special sword to exert the greatest power. But carrying that kind of sword on your back is like playing a signboard, and the teacher hides the sword for the convenience of walking the rivers and lakes. If you want to learn, I can lend it to you first. ”
Liu Jizu thought that this master was too stingy, and he borrowed a sword, but he couldn't help but show it, and still pretended to listen respectfully.
"The Meteor Stone is a martial art collected from the outside by the sect, and it is a hidden weapon technique. You've seen it, it's the kind I used to hit you, but I didn't use a real secret weapon to hit you, I used some things at hand, and I'll show you the real meteor stone. ”
After speaking, he took out three black irregularly shaped stones from the leather bag he carried, Liu Jizu stretched out two hands, and Wu Lun put the three stones in his hands.
Liu Jizu only felt that his hands were sinking, and he was shocked, he didn't expect these stones to be so heavy, so he hurriedly took a closer look. I saw three stones of different sizes, the big ones were like chicken eggs, the small ones were like pigeon eggs, and the one in the middle was about the same size as the smaller walnut, with different shapes, edges and corners. He checked it, looked at the luster, and estimated that it was not a stone, it should be metal.
"Master, this should be iron, why does it feel heavier than iron, and it is different in size?"
Wu Lun put the three hidden weapons back, and while playing with them in his hand, he said: "It's not iron, it's meteoric iron, this is almost twice as heavy as an iron block of the same size." It's a pity that the piece of meteorite I got is too small, and I spent a lot of money to only make these thirteen, and there is no way, too much is not easy to bring. I guess the only thing I can do is gold, but it's too soft and not cheap. Besides, who would beat someone with gold? As for the size of the man, it is for the convenience of being used for different occasions. This secret weapon, coupled with this extraterrestrial meteorite, is really worthy of its name! I just sent you three ordinary stones at the same time, and you are already embarrassed like that, and you are red and swollen when you are hit.
If you hit with this, the damage will be multiplied, and it can even be fatal when hit to the point. This martial art is proficient, and under the special circumstances of not considering the hit rate, you can scatter more than a dozen small hidden weapons at the same time, which can attack in a large area, called the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers, the advantage is that the cover effect is good, and the disadvantage is that the hit rate is low and the lethality is small.
If you want to consider the hit rate, you can only launch it in a centralized manner, and you can only fire six small or four medium hidden weapons at the same time at most, at this time, the hit rate is high, the lethality is average, and it can be used to assist attacks and fight against other hidden weapons. To tell you the truth, the main purpose of my practice of this martial art is to fight against the hidden weapon of Zhige City, and to take revenge, but I don't know if it will work. If you launch the last big hidden weapon, you can fire up to two at the same time, which is generally used for sneak attacks or fatal blows, and has great lethality. In addition, in addition to the previous purpose, I can also hunt in the wild, which is quite convenient, do you want to learn it?"
Liu Jizu still didn't answer, but asked, "What about the Hong Huang Fist? Master, will you finish talking together?"
Wu Lun was very satisfied with Liu Jizu's caution and persistence, nodded and continued: "The Honghuang Fist is quite special, it first originated in the army, and was founded by a general in the army more than a thousand years ago. It is used in empty-handed combat such as damaged, lost, or captured weapons, but of course there are not many such cases on the battlefield. Therefore, this is an incommonly used combat auxiliary martial art, and because it originated on the battlefield, the power will be multiplied with armor. After the current Honghuang Fist has been perfected by the sect, it is much more powerful and complicated than it was then, and it is more suitable for walking the rivers and lakes. But with the basic boxing gloves, arm guards, and inner armor, you can still fight on the battlefield, and if you can match it with a leg auxiliary martial art to strengthen the agility of action, it will be even more powerful.
After training, it is very powerful, with a kind of indomitable momentum, which can be more than a dozen, especially suitable for hand-to-hand combat. But the shortcomings are also obvious, the attack range is limited, there is no fist gloves, arm guards and inner armor protection, and it is obvious that the opponent with weapons suffers. There is also a very high requirement for the physical strength and speed of the martial artist, only by maintaining a very high physical condition, can you send and receive freely, otherwise you will not be able to give full play to the advantages of this martial art. It's all said and done, have you figured it out. ”
Liu Jizu frowned and asked, "Does the Hong Huangquan have to wear armor?
Wu Lun smiled: "What do you know, of course you don't need to wear armor to walk the rivers and lakes. According to the rules of this dynasty, the common people can carry weapons for self-defense, but except for the military generals and soldiers on duty, no one else can wear armor without permission. The fist gloves, arm guards, and inner armor used by people in the rivers and lakes cannot be called armor, but equipment, except for the boxing gloves, they are all worn inside the clothes, and the armor is worn outside the clothes, which is the difference.
In fact, there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who wear equipment, like being a teacher, and they are not leaving their bodies. I think if I hadn't gotten the equipment back then, the freshness hadn't passed, and I wouldn't have been too troublesome to wear it every day, and you wouldn't have seen me now. Besides, this Flood Fist is special, you have to fight in close combat with others, and with the protection of equipment, you can let go of it. Otherwise, the main energy is spent on dodging the opponent's weapons, so how can there be energy to attack?"
Liu Jizu nodded after hearing this, and finally asked, "Then what level are these four martial arts?"
Wu Lun nodded approvingly again, and replied with a smile: "The Xuanyuan Sword is second-class, and the other three are all third-class when they are collected. But after Pingjibu, Meteor Stone, and Honghuang Fist were collected, they were all continuously developed and improved by the sect, and they were very different from the beginning, although the price was still a third-class price, but the power should also be able to reach the second-class. ”
Liu Jizu was a little disappointed and asked, "Isn't there a first-class martial art?"
Wu Lun said with a smile: "First-class martial arts are the most precious thing in our sect, and they will only be passed on to the heirs of the sect head and a few important heirs. As disciples with foreign surnames, don't think about it!"
Liu Jizu frowned when he heard this, hugged his hands, and groped his chin with one hand, a little adult's appearance, showing a very embarrassed expression, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, "Then I'll learn Ping's trace step and Hong Huang Boxing! Master, what do you think?"
Wu Lun thought to himself that this kid might still be thinking about breaking away from the sect, so he didn't choose the Xuanyuan Sword with a higher level of inheritance from the sect. But he didn't say anything, not to mention that he was the first to learn these two martial arts, and these were also the two most solid martial arts he practiced.
He smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, these two martial arts skills complement each other, so that both hands and legs can be effectively exercised. In particular, Ping's step can greatly improve the attack power and mobility of the Honghuang Fist, and make up for the lack of attack power in the lower game of the Honghuang Fist. Moreover, both martial arts do not need to carry conventional weapons, which are relatively concealed and easy to walk the rivers and lakes. It's just that you have to train your body well, and I will strengthen this training in the future. From today onwards, although your two meals are still arranged by Mr. Tian, the money will be counted on my head, and this will also be regarded as a responsibility of the teacher. Also, you are now my disciple, and when today's training is over, come with me to meet your master. ”
