Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Lakes Chapter 56: Martial Arts Hall
Lin Yi learned from the three people that the peaks of Kowloon vary in height, steepness and precipitousness. Only Ouwei, Basia, Charter, and Jinxi peaks are slightly gentler and are the headquarters of the Kowloon faction. The remaining five peaks are hidden deep in the mountains, hidden in the clouds and mist, and cannot be conquered by human power.
The distance between the nine peaks is also different. The four inhabited peaks are slightly closer, while the remaining five peaks are slightly further away. They are scattered and dotted, ranging from more than ten miles to dozens of miles, adding more uniqueness to the scenic spot of Kowloon.
Ouwei Peak is the residence of the head of the sect; Baxia Peak is guarded by several elders; Charter Peak is the residence of the inner disciples of the sect; and Jinju Peak is of great importance, and is rumored to be the retreat place of the Taishang Elder.
Among them, the three talents of Charter, Ouwei and Baxia are in full force, and Jinju Peak is behind it, overlooking the three peaks.
…
Only then did Lin Yi know that the peak he encountered upon entering the mountain gate was Charter Peak, followed by the two peaks of Ouwei and Baxia. According to the introductions of the three people, outer disciples are not allowed to set foot on any of these four peaks.
The three of them were curious about Junior Brother Lin's martial arts. Lin Yi shook his head and said that his martial arts skills were average, but he was just stronger. Instead, he asked about the three people's martial arts practice.
It turns out that the martial arts hall of the Foreign Affairs Hall allows outer disciples to practice only the simple exercises of the Tianlong Sect. Only if you receive a reward for being a steward in the line of duty can you practice slightly more advanced martial arts. For more than ten years, these three people have been in a miserable situation, and they have only practiced basic boxing and kicking skills.
"Senior brothers, I can also practice two sets of basic martial arts, right?" Lin Yi asked. The three nodded in agreement.
Wen Lun seemed to be worried, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Junior brother is going. After lunch, I will accompany you to have a look!"
Even though it is a simple technique, outer disciples who are new to it still have to practice a lot. This is human nature. Isn’t it just to practice martial arts in Tianlong Sect? Several people were thinking about Lin Yi, and the latter also followed the trend and agreed.
…
There are several large rooms where you can eat. It's just that if you don't wait until later, you won't have anything to eat if you arrive late.
Several people came to the dining hall and saw that Deacon Pi had already occupied a table. He looked up and saw several of his disciples, smiling and saying hello.
"Old Pi, you're here early!" Wen Lun chuckled.
Looking at the earthen basin on the table, Hu Wan gritted his teeth and said happily: "There is meat to eat today, old man, you have to be merciful and save a few more pieces for the brothers!"
Shen Ding was also nonchalant and sat down carelessly.
Butler Pi didn't pay attention to the three of them. He waved to Lin Yi and said with a smile: "Brother, sit down and eat slowly. Slowly, you won't even be able to eat any meat. Hurry..."
Food was placed on the table, and it must have been that Butler Pi arrived first and prepared food for several people in advance.
Lin Yi quickly called Brother Shengpi and sat down to pick up his rice bowl.
Hu Wan and Wen Lun put the braised pork into Lin Yi's bowl with flattering expressions on their faces.
Lin Yi hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks and refused. Butler Pi seemed to have seen something strange, his eyes widened, and he said, "I wonder why you two have changed your temper, are you not sick?"
"Screw you, you're the only one who's sick! Junior brother is here for the first time. As a senior brother, you should take care of me!" Wen Lun said seriously with a straight face.
Hu Wan on the side also kept saying yes, which made Butler Pi even more confused. Even Shen Ding stared at Lin Yiwan with greedy eyes, but showed no dissatisfaction.
Butler Pi shook his head, unbelievable! As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. How can I not know the virtues of these two people?
"Two senior brothers, I don't like meat, so there's no need to be so polite. It's better to be more casual!"
After Lin Yi's Xuantian Mental Technique reached the fifth level, his desire for mouth and tongue became much weaker, and he didn't like greasy food, so he only ate it occasionally. It seems that the two of them are so passionate, but they can't bear it in their hearts. then. He put the meat into Shen Ding's bowl, making the latter grin with joy.
Shen Ding sincerely loves Lin Yi, his junior brother.
Deacon Pi was a humble man with few rules. Although he didn't know why Hu and Wan were so enthusiastic about Lin Yi, he was quite pleased. It must be a blessing for the Car and Horse Courtyard that a newcomer who has just arrived can get along so well with two lazy and slippery people in the blink of an eye!
After dinner, the three of them took Lin Yi to the martial arts hall.
Lin Yi raised his head and looked around, and saw that the surrounding area was quite spacious. In one corner of the courtyard, there were stone locks, weapon racks and other objects. In front of the big house facing the courtyard gate, there are three characters "Martial Arts Hall" written on the horizontal plaque, and there are two large stone tablets standing in front of the door. The loess underfoot is compact, flat and firm, and there is no dust when walking on it.
The three of them walked to the stone monument, stopped and looked back, looking at Lin Yi with smiles.
After looking at a few people in confusion, Lin Yining looked at the stone tablet. After drinking tea, he moved to another stone tablet and watched alone without saying a word. The three of them pretended to understand and waited quietly.
After stopping in front of the stone tablet for a long time, Lin Yi felt relieved.
On these two stone tablets, there are records of boxing skills and sword skills respectively. They should be the two most basic sets of exercises of the Tianlong Sect. One is Tianlong Fist, and the other is Nine Dragons Sword Technique.
The five methods of boxing are dragon gate point on the forehead, two dragons playing with pearls, dragon moving and tiger transforming, climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and acting like a startling dragon. The nine moves of swordsmanship are also named after dragons, namely flying dragon and snake, hiding dragon in the abyss, dragon playing in the water, wandering clouds to startle the dragon, fighting double dragons, flying dragon riding the clouds, startling dragon in the sky, dragon seeing the wild, and nine dragons holding the sky.
The names of the boxing and sword moves sound very nice, and the moves and techniques are clearly engraved on the stone tablet. Lin Yi read it carefully and remembered all the boxing and sword moves from beginning to end. He couldn't help but deduce it in his mind and shook his head secretly. The name of this move is very intimidating, but the move is full of loopholes, and the upper and lower moves are not smooth. Is this the entry-level practice of the Tianlong School?
What Lin Yi didn't know was that since his spiritual consciousness was a small success and the Xuantian Heart Method entered the middle stage of Qi training, his insights and vision of martial arts have exceeded the limitations of secular martial arts. Even the most brilliant martial arts moves, for Lin Yi, it is not difficult to pick out the flaws. At this time, he is no longer the little Taoist priest three years ago. It's just that he is in the mountains and it is difficult to see the whole picture of the mountain. Besides, this mountain is not that mountain.
After lunch time, the number of disciples in the martial arts hall gradually increased.
"Hey-who is this? Instead of raising horses properly, what are you doing here?" With a loud voice, several people came behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked back in surprise to see who was looking for trouble with him again.
A man with slightly dark skin, tall and strong body, and fish eyes was staring at Hu Wan and the other two aggressively. Two more followed behind him. One was a muscular man with a bulging chest. The other yellow-faced man turned out to be Jin Ke, who was grinning and demonstrating to Lin Yi.
Hu Wan and Wen Lun bowed their heads and bowed, repeatedly calling Senior Brother Lu hello, but their feet moved back. Shen Ding was full of indignation, and dared not say a word with a fierce face.
Seeing that the three were so afraid of Senior Brother Lu, Lin Yi looked at him curiously. Who knew that trouble would come to him in a blink of an eye? Before he could figure out what was going on, the leading man glared at him, waved his hand and scolded him: "Stinky boy, why don't you go back to the stable quickly? What are you looking at in front of the stone tablet? Do you understand?"
"Brother, what you said makes sense. We can't let such a dirty thing pollute this martial arts hall." Jin Ke gloated and laughed strangely.
I don't know how to find trouble with Lin Yi. Who knew that he would come here by himself? Now I don't need to teach this kid a lesson myself. Jin Ke was very happy and looked around. He was looking forward to the arrival of a beauty, so that he could see how this kid would embarrass himself.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Wan and the other two hurriedly came up and pulled Lin Yi away.
Lin Yi glanced at the man lightly, and then asked Hu Wan and the other two in a low voice. Hu Wan and Wen Lun looked anxious and kept responding.
It turned out that the two people that Jin Ke accompanied were both martial arts masters in the martial arts hall, and they were usually on duty as mountain patrol guards. One of them was Lu Shu, and Wen Lun gave him the nickname "Six Hands". His martial arts skills were outstanding among the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall. But he was greedy and liked to take advantage of his fellow disciples. The other was Du Song, whose martial arts skills were not inferior to Lu Shu, and he was pulled by him to be his personal friend. The two of them helped each other, and few people in the martial arts hall provoked them.
Hu Wan, Wen Lun, and Shen Ding had suffered a lot from the two. Wen Lun also made up his mind to accompany Lin Yi here. I didn't expect to meet these two strong men. I can't afford to provoke them, so I'd better hide!
"Are you deaf? Why don't you get out!" Lu Shu also accepted Jin Ke's benefits, and with his grandfather's background as a manager, the two of them were like-minded. Knowing that this young disciple was someone Jin Ke hated, he looked at Lin Yi with a frown and looked like he was looking for trouble.
After Lin Yi learned about some of the rules of the martial arts hall, he signaled the three of them not to worry. He turned around and smiled at Lu Shu, saying, "When did this martial arts hall not allow outer disciples to enter? We are all brothers here, why does this gentleman bully the weak and insult us?"
Lin Yi's body is about the same as an adult, but a little thin. He stood with his hands behind his back and his feet standing straight, casually but calmly.
Seeing that this new disciple did not run away in fear, but instead explained the reason to him. Lu Shu was stunned and looked at the two companions around him. It means that he did not hear it wrong!
Lu Shu was so angry that he laughed, and his eyes were about to fall out. He sneered and said, "It's true that this is a martial arts hall, but everyone has their own specialty. You don't take good care of your horses. Not only do you waste time here, but you also affect our martial arts practice. Don't you know these simple truths? You are a beginner, and you dare to make noise here!"
"Haha! What a fallacy. Anyone who enters the Tianlong Sect can practice martial arts, and there are no sect rules and regulations that say that disciples who raise horses cannot practice martial arts. Those who raise horses, grow medicine, wash clothes, and cook are also outer disciples of the Tianlong Sect, and they are not inferior to anyone else."
Lin Yi was calm and his words were neither hurried nor slow, but every word was clear and well-reasoned. Hu Wan and the other two felt warm in their hearts when they heard it, and some disciples who were watching the excitement around them also showed admiration in their eyes.
There were a few more people in the yard. Lu Shu looked even worse.
"Hmph! You are a horse breeder who can't just talk and have sharp teeth! Then let me, Lu, learn what you can do!" He waved his hands and asked everyone to make way for an open space.
Glancing at Lin Yi, Lu Shu snorted arrogantly: "Come on, I'm waiting!"
Jin Ke laughed continuously and jumped to the side to get out of the way. Du Song also had a cold expression and stepped back a few steps with his arms shaking.
Lu Shu was staring at him, ready to go. His eyes rolled around, and he was ruthless, thinking about how to teach this ignorant horse breeder a lesson later.
