Chapter 52: The Mysterious Blacksmith
In the past few days, Li Jiqian's village has been calm, and it seems that the crisis has completely passed.
Gao Jie continued to practice martial arts with his master, while swallowing the elixir given by Xu Hongru, after digesting and absorbing the four pills, the internal force grew rapidly, and now "Wushenggong" has been cultivated by him to the sixth layer, and the internal strength is so strong that it can compete with Ai Dong, the fourth elder of the Ai family who attacked him at the beginning.
And his "Phantom Lotus Transformation" light technique has also increased greatly with the internal force, and his speed and endurance have surged, even Chen Dake does not want to catch him easily.
Seeing that Gao Jie's internal strength was well laid, and his life-saving light skills were also quite extraordinary, the Pure Space Master taught him the palm method and the acupoint method all the way.
The name of the palm is "Wuwei Palm", the palm force is struck, without the slightest strength, the recipient can not feel the palm orientation, unable to parry, wait for the palm force and the body, the real strength starts, with the majestic internal force to strike with all the strength, to destroy the enemy with the momentum of decay, the end is unpredictable.
"Wu Wei Zhang" is a divine skill found by Xu Hongru and Wang Sen in the treasures of the Holy Sect, this skill has been lost in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and now no one has learned it in the various branches of the White Lotus Sect. Xu Hongru has always been obsessed with alchemy and healing, his internal strength is mediocre, and he can't cultivate, so he handed over the Wuwei Palm cultivation secret book to Jingkong.
The Pure Space Master himself has already had a mastery, and it is impossible to give up the original exercises that have been completed in order to cultivate Wuweizhang, plus this exercise is masculine and violent, which is more suitable for male cultivation, so it has been put on hold, waiting for someone who is destined. Now that he has found a successor to the Holy Sect, this technique will naturally be taught to Gao Jie.
The name of the acupoint method is called "Flower Finger", which is a martial art that seems to come from Buddhism.
Song Shi Puji "Five Lantern Huiyuan, Seven Buddhas, Shakyamuni Buddha": "At the Lingshan Meeting, the World Venerable held flowers to show the public, and everyone was silent, but the Venerable Kasa Ye smiled. "Smile at the flowers, Buddhism, the first allusion of Zen Buddhism to the heart, contains two meanings: one refers to a thorough understanding of Zen principles, and the other refers to mutual tacit understanding, heart and mind comprehension, heart to mind, heart to heart.
The method of driving force is complicated, it is not easy to recognize acupoints, and it is more difficult to intercept the pulse, so it needs to be accurately calculated according to the different hours of the day, so this exercise requires extremely strong brain power to practice.
Naturally, Gao Jie, who has the "strongest brain", is also a suitable candidate.
Gao Jie himself is very fond of the "Wuwei Palm Method", and he has a small success in two days, and the clearance master is quite happy.
However, Gao Jie's cultivation of the flower finger made the pure space master very angry, he hated the "flower finger" posture twisted, full of sissies, very resistant, grinding and chirping when practicing, the whole grinding of the image of a foreign worker, a few days later, the effect was not great, so angry that the clear space was eager to reward him with a meal of "fried meat with bamboo shoots".
Gao Jie saw that the master was angry, and he salivated and comforted: "As a man, the apprentice is enough, and the powerful martial arts are enough, and the sissy flower finger will let Senior Sister Huijing learn it!"
Naturally, as soon as these words came out, Gao Jie immediately enjoyed the "fried meat with bamboo shoots" meal sent by his master, and had no choice but to be aggrieved, like an angry little daughter-in-law, he cocked his orchid fingers all day long, twisted his waist, and reluctantly continued to practice his fingers.
The initiative is not high, and the learning progress is naturally slow, of course, this is only relatively speaking, with Gao Jie's perverted understanding, in the eyes of others, this flower finger cultivation is still making rapid progress, and one day is worth the progress of others for dozens of days.
The master of the Pure Sky Master has long found that there are disguised and sneaky people hanging around the Li family's compound from time to time in Li Jiqian's village, and she just strictly ordered Gao Jie to go out unless he was under the protection of Chen Dake and others.
Gao Jie was an otaku in his previous life, a master who could endure loneliness, these days he has not been out of the door, the second door is not stepping, the rules are very good, except for Chen Dake and others in the courtyard to learn martial arts, basically stay in the house, study his "White Lotus Nine Lives" and "Shengsheng Medicine Sutra".
Since he began to study and study the "Raw Medicine Sutra", he has been very interested, and he can't help but fall into it, unable to extricate himself. He found that the ancient pharmaceutical alchemy technique was vast and profound, and it was incomparably wonderful. In later generations, Western medicine was dominant, and most Chinese people liked to seek treatment from Western medicine when they were sick, and Chinese medicine was only used as a supplement to nourish the body. This situation only occurs because many of the ancient Chinese gods and arts are treasured by their own brooms, and many of the essence of Chinese medicine have been lost.
On the "Book of Raw Medicine" left by Xu Hongru, there is a blind "Zhuyan Dan", which has the function of maintaining skin elasticity and color, delaying aging, and people in their forties can still maintain the normal state of youth, and the effect is hundreds of times better than cosmetics such as skin lotion in later generations.
There are many such miraculous pills, such as detoxification pills, muscle-building pills, and even eye-catching pills for the treatment of presbyopia and cataracts, etc., but the raw materials required to refine these high-grade pills are difficult to obtain in the small village of Li Jiqianzhai, and Gao Jie has no way to refine them.
Since Zhu Youzhen left, Gao Jie had fewer white mice to test the medicine, and he didn't dare to let Master Pure Space Master play this role, so he had to ask the smug Chen Dake to help.
At the beginning, Chen Dake was proud and arrogant for the sake of his brother's righteousness, and agreed, but after vomiting and diarrhea a few times after trying the medicine, when he saw Gao Jie, he changed from a white mouse to a gray mouse, hiding everywhere, and swore to die from then on.
In desperation, Gao Jie, who was obsessed with scientific research, hit Yao Shimen again.
Yao Shimen is also a person with great ambitions, after learning about the relationship between Gao Jie and Zhu Youzhen from Chen Dake, he was ambitious, took the initiative to stay in the Li family compound, and consciously and spontaneously became Gao Jie's personal guard.
Gao Jie came to the door and asked him to try the medicine, although Yao Shimen has always been iron-faced, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to hold the determination of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return", and tried it for two days.
However, two days later, before the third watch in the middle of the night, Gao Jie was in the Li family's compound, and he didn't want to find Yao Shimen's shadow again, and he couldn't even eat and go to the toilet.
Only the honest and honest Yu Hongzhi is the most cooperative, he is ordered to serve Gao Jie as the mainstay, but he is all the way to the black temperament, not to mention asking him to test the medicine, that is, eating mud and gnawing stones, he will not hesitate to obey the order.
So, with Yu Hongzhi, a loyal and not afraid of death, Gao Jie's pharmaceutical alchemy improved rapidly, and after scraping away the medicinal materials in the pharmacy in the village, he refined hundreds of pills of all kinds.
By chance, after Gao Jie helped his neighbor Uncle Wen cure one of his family's goats, Gao Jie's reputation slowly spread and he became a well-known veterinarian. Soon, it gradually changed from treating livestock and poultry to the famous "Little High Divine Doctor" who can really cure people.
Seeing that every day the villagers in the village came to the door to ask Xiao Gao Shen for medicine and treatment, the pure space master couldn't cry or laugh, not only glad that his brother Xu Hongru's medical skills had a successor, but also worried that Gao Jie was so obsessed with studying medical skills, followed in the footsteps of Xu Hongru, abandoned martial arts, and delayed the revival of the Holy Religion.
Later, I found that Gao Jie not only had a high comprehension, but also had abundant energy that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, and he did not delay his daily pharmaceutical and martial arts practice, which made the void master too happy, so he was at ease to tinker with him and toss around.
On this day, Gao Jie remembered that he hadn't seen Liu Zongmin for a long time, so he said a word to the master of the void, and rarely stepped out of the courtyard gate and went to Hu Dawei's blacksmith shop.
Hu Dawei and Liu Zongmin were shirtless, forging a hoe on the ground, and when they saw Gao Jie coming, Hu Dawei smiled and asked Liu Zongmin and Gao Jie to go to the house to talk, and complete the rest of the work by themselves.
Liu Zongmin was covered in sweat, and when he entered the room, he wiped his body with water first, and then he took out a black cloth package from under his bed, and said with a proud smile on his black and red face: "Gaozi, it's done, take a look!"
Gao Jie smiled, opened the package, and saw that there were two short knives and short swords inside, bright and exquisite, picked up one of the short swords, and lightly slashed at the scrap iron bar handed over by Liu Zongmin, and the iron bar was instantly split into two.
Liu Zongmin smiled and said: "Gaozi, you took three knives, the material is so good, it took me three days to forge it." How's it going, satisfied?"
Gao Jie nodded like a chicken pecking rice, smiled from ear to ear, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot and a half tael from the bag and handed it to Liu Zongmin: "Tie Niu, this is wages, don't be too little!"
Tie Niu, naturally, is the nickname given to Liu Zongmin by Gao Jie and Li Hongji, and when he saw Gao Jie taking out the silver, Liu Zongmin said with a dark face: "When I am a brother?
Gao Jie touched his earlobe in embarrassment, reluctantly picked up the silver, picked up a short knife from the black cloth bag and handed it over: "Tie Niu, then you accept this knife, you are not allowed to shirk! Each of the four of us has one piece, one for self-defense, and the other as a token for our four brothers!"
Liu Zongmin wanted to refuse, but when he heard Gao Jie say that it was a token of the four brothers, a smile appeared on his iron-cast face, and he happily accepted the short knife, and then pulled Gao Jie to chat.
When the two were chatting about how the fat man (Li Hongji) and the sunspot (Li Guo) were doing in Mizhi County, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron outside.
Obviously, this is not the sound of Hu Dawei striking iron, but the intersection of weapons and fierce fighting.
Gao Jie and Liu Zongmin glanced at each other, put the package on their backs, and ran out of the house together.
In front of the blacksmith shop, Hu Dawei was holding a hammer and fighting with a middle-aged man in white. The man in white was about forty, with a white face and no beard, dressed in a white suit, with a long sword in his hand, the sword was suffocating, and his body was active, bringing a strange fragrance.
The fragrance is completely different from the smell of incense powder on the woman's body, rich and slightly drunk, smelling it makes people's brains dizzy, Gao Jie is still far away, and he also feels a little groggy, so he hurriedly runs the "White Lotus Nine Lives" mental method, and the true qi travels around the whole body, and the brain suddenly becomes clear.
Liu Zongmin didn't have that strong strength to resist this bewitching aroma, his steps were a little vain, and he slapped his head with his big hand, and the pain made him sober up.
And Hu Dawei, who is not amazing in appearance and has gray beard, seems to be very adaptable to this aroma, his pace is steady, he is calm in the battle, and a hammer used to strike iron is as light as it is in his hand, no matter how unpredictable the opponent's long sword is, his sledgehammer is simply hit in the key direction, and the long sword of the man in white has never been able to break through his defense.
Gao Jie had seen Liu Zongmin use this move to deal with Li Jie, but Hu Dawei was much more clever than him, and he didn't have the slightest jerky feeling.
The man in white couldn't attack for a long time, and gradually became anxious, the long sword became brighter and brighter, and the sword became more and more condensed, and he had obviously begun to do it with all his might. I only heard him suddenly let out a long roar, the long sword spun sharply, drawing a complete circle of light, dazzling, eye-catching, and a lightning-fast sword light in the middle of the sword circle suddenly pierced out, shooting towards Hu Dawei's abdomen from an incredible angle.
Hu Dawei remained silent, the hammer danced from fast to slow, and slowly greeted the sword, although the sword was fast, but it was stopped by the seemingly slow hammer, the hammer and sword intersected, unexpectedly, there was no sound, only to see that the dazzling long sword was stuck to the black hammer, and it was tightly attached to the hammer head.
The white-clothed man was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed the sword, but the long sword seemed to be fused with the iron hammer, and it was impossible to separate it.
Hu Dawei shouted in a deep voice, the sledgehammer went to the side, and a strong force passed along the sword body into the arm of the man in white, he suddenly felt that the tiger's mouth was about to crack, the whole arm shook violently, and the long sword could no longer hold it, only to see the long sword draw a white light in the air, and it was forced to fly out of the hand by the iron hammer, and it was obliquely inserted on the ground, and the sword body still trembled.
Gao Jie was secretly frightened, this Hu Dawei looked like an ordinary old blacksmith, but he didn't expect that he had superb martial arts, and his internal strength was even more profound, compared with Chen Dake and others, he was not inferior, and Liu Zongmin's martial arts were taught by him.
The man in white took off his long sword and stood in place, obviously he didn't expect this blacksmith to be extremely strong, and he couldn't believe that he had been defeated.
Hu Dawei did not pursue, withdrew the hammer, and stood on the ground, his face was still very solemn, without the slightest joy and relaxation after the victory.
A burst of applause came, and Gao Jie turned his head to look, only to realize that an old man in a white robe had been watching the battle.
Gao Jie has successfully cultivated "White Lotus Nine Lives", and has always been conceited, sensitive senses, and insight first. But just now he was so focused on the battle that he ignored the existence of the white-robed old man. This shows two problems, one is that Gao Jie's own experience is still lacking, and he is far from reaching the realm of seeing and hearing in all directions, but that the old man's skills are extremely profound, and his whole body aura has been restrained to the extreme, and it is very easy for people to notice that he is waiting for an opportunity.
Gao Jie faintly felt a very dangerous aura from this person.
The old man in the white robe is about fifty years old, with a straight nose and a square mouth, very upright, three strands of long hair fluttering on his chest, faintly a master's demeanor, he covered his palms and smiled: "Brother Guoyong has been hidden in the rivers and lakes for nearly ten years, re-practicing blacksmith skills, but his martial arts have still not been put down, and he is quite beneficial, Tang is deeply pleased!"
Hu Dawei's face remained unchanged, he didn't even tremble in the slightest wrinkle, and said coldly: "There is an old blacksmith in Xia, surnamed Hu Dawei, I'm afraid I recognize the wrong person!"
The white-robed old man laughed loudly when he heard this: "Brother Wang, don't quibble anymore, although your appearance has changed, this unique cicada catching skill cannot be hidden. I've been looking for Your Excellency for nearly ten years, and I will never miss it again, you are the famous dragon catcher Li Guoyong, Wang Sen's fourth apprentice!"
