Chapter 1554: The First Person in Jinwu
Zhang Wuji is miserable. His health is very poor now. He can't even learn martial arts. He can only learn scientific knowledge and strive to contribute to the development of capitalism.
Of course, it is better than losing his parents in the original novel. Now he can only rely on taking medicine to barely avoid being killed by Xuanming Qi, but even so, he will shiver with cold every noon.
However, Zhang Wuji is very strong and insists on learning and improving every day. He soon learned the latest industrial and financial knowledge, but unfortunately he has no friends in Wudang Mountain.
The children are unwilling to play with the sickly boy. Although they can't bully Zhang Wuji for face, they won't take Zhang Wuji with them.
This makes Zhang Wuji very helpless. In fact, he envied the children who could practice martial arts. This envy lasted until his eleventh birthday.
Of course, Zhang Wuji did not receive the admission notice sent by the owl. He met Duran, the young Duran who removed his disguise.
Zhang Wuji obviously did not recognize who Duran was. He only knew that the other party suddenly appeared in Wudang Mountain and said he wanted to save him. Although they didn't know each other at all, Duran seemed to be really here to help.
If he was cured, of course it would be great, but Duran had another request, which was not to let Zhang Wuji tell anyone that Xuanming Zhenqi was cured.
"Why?" Zhang Wuji didn't understand why he couldn't let anyone know, not even his parents.
Of course it was for fun, so that Zhang Wuji could play the pig and eat the tiger. When everyone thought he was sick, he stood up and turned the tide. Isn't this the protagonist?
In short, Duran asked Zhang Wuji to keep a low profile. In addition to treating his injuries, he also taught him a supreme martial art - gun fighting. With this skill, Zhang Wuji can make a difference in this world.
Of course, he also had to learn internal strength. Zhang Wuji was the character with the highest martial arts in the fourteen novels identified by Mr. Jin.
Jin Yong's evaluation of Zhang Wuji was: he was the most comprehensive character with the best of all schools.
The most powerful of all martial artists, of course, does not mean that he must have the highest combat power.
Jin Yong also said that there is no so-called strongest martial arts, because each has its own merits.
Some are the comprehensive qualities of each warrior who cooperates with various martial arts.
Zhang Wuji is undoubtedly the most capable of all martial artists: Nine Yang Magic Skill, Great Shift of the Universe, Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, Holy Fire Token.
Nine Yang Magic Skill is a combination of Buddhism and Taoism, which was created by the predecessors of the martial arts world to make up for the deficiencies of the Nine Yin Manual.
Great Shift of the Universe, a martial art from the Western Regions, has not been practiced to the highest level so far, but Zhang Wuji has.
Not to mention Tai Chi, the quintessence of the country.
Holy Fire Forest is also a martial art from the Western Regions.
Zhang Wuji has learned the highest martial arts of both China and the West, so he is naturally a master of all trades. He is really powerful, with excellent comprehensive qualities, and can resist, output, and heal. Anyway, he is basically all-round.
Although Zhang Wuji may not be able to beat Shi Potian, he is at least more powerful than Shi Potian in terms of comprehensive qualities.
Duran naturally taught Zhang Wuji the Nine Yang Magic Skill, and told him to practice it well, and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger in the future, so as not to disappoint Duran's intentions.
Zhang Wuji was indeed very obedient, and still pretended to tremble every noon, and did not tell anyone that he had been cured. Although he felt sorry for his elders, he had to listen to Duran's words.
In this way, after a few years, Zhang Wuji became more and more black-bellied, and he gradually liked the feeling of pretending to be weak when he could kill the opponent in seconds.
Zhang Cuishan's parents saw that their son could never be cured and finally decided to send Zhang Wuji to Butterfly Valley, which was a medical system affiliated with the Ming Cult. Hu Qingniu was the lifesaver of the former leader Yang Dingtian.
As the grandson of the White-browed Eagle King, Zhang Wuji could still enjoy this privilege.
Hu Qingniu was called the Medical Immortal, and naturally he had excellent medical skills. Zhang Wuji was very worried that he would be exposed by the divine doctor if he pretended to be sick.
However, Duran covered up for Zhang Wuji, and he would never be exposed by a mere divine doctor.
Zhang Wuji stayed in Butterfly Valley and learned medical skills by the way. However, because he had received scientific education, in his opinion, many of Hu Qingniu's medical behaviors were too fantastic, without any basis, and based on experience alone, it was impossible to save lives and heal the wounded on a large scale.
So Zhang Wuji tried to explain the phenomena in medicine in a scientific way. In order to reward Zhang Wuji's idea, Duran gave him a microscope.
If Zhang Wuji gave up martial arts and became a doctor, maybe Chinese medicine could enter the world of modern medicine in advance.
While Zhang Wuji was still pretending to treat, the outside world had been changing. The court's control over the forces of the rivers and lakes had never stopped, but the person in charge was the King of Ruyang before, and now it was replaced by his daughter Zhao Min.
Although Zhao Min was young, she was scheming and had been provoking the relationship between the six major sects and the Mingjiao, preparing to make a fisherman gain from the snipe and clam dispute.
It has to be said that the effect is still very good. The Mingjiao and the six major sects have conflicts of interest. To be precise, the Mingjiao came later and took advantage of its solid folk advantages to snatch the business of the six major sects. The Mingjiao now also runs an escort agency.
In addition, when the Mingjiao became prosperous, the reputation of the four protectors was not good. Xie Xun also killed innocent people indiscriminately and harmed many people in order to find his enemy.
Wei Yixiao has a weird style and likes to suck blood to practice martial arts.
Although Yin Tianzheng left the Mingjiao to start a business, he is basically a gang leader.
Also, the missing Purple-Robed Dragon King, although a woman, was so beautiful that she made many ‘gentlemen’ from famous and upright sects waver in their determination. This was the characteristic of a demon woman, so she was not a good person either.
New and old grudges, plus the fact that they were in the same industry and the court was trying to sow discord between them, the two sides had irreconcilable conflicts.
So the six major sects actually brought up the matter of dealing with the Ming Cult again.
Nun Miejue was the most active, because this was her unfulfilled wish back then. If she could succeed now, then Miejue would have no regrets in her life.
Duran looked at the invitation sent by Miejue and thought that the other party was really the same for ten years.
After Zhang Cuishan knew about it, he was very anxious. He felt that there was no need for the two sides to conflict. Now their biggest enemy should be the court. In recent years, the court has been exploiting excessively, and the people have been complaining. They should do something now. Besides, Zhang Cuishan’s wife is a member of the Ming Cult, so he firmly opposed it.
But Duran knew that with the court fanning the flames, it was obvious that the six major sects would have to besiege Guangmingding.
"Cuishan, you don't have to worry." Duran has already arranged for Zhang Wuji. When the time comes, it will be simplest to let Zhang Wuji, the child of the righteous sect and the demon sect, settle the two sides.
But Zhang Cuishan didn't know about this plan. How could he not be anxious? His father-in-law and brother-in-law are both members of the Ming Sect. If a fight really starts, they will all be in danger.
"Cuishan, I want you to do something."
"Master, you say."
"This matter is not as simple as it seems. The court must have secretly planted people in the six major sects. Go and investigate who is secretly instigating discord."
Zhang Cuishan felt relieved when he heard this, knowing that his master was not confused. His master was still as perceptive as always and had been thinking about how to solve the problem.
