Chapter 166 Hua Wuque, Waiting for Jiang Yuyan
After talking for a while, Zhou Botong was restless, so he found an excuse to go out and play with Mo Xiaobei, Yang Guo and Jiang Yuyan.
Li Ming watched Zhou Botong disappear in a flash and turned to Xuan Cheng.
"Have you been practicing the last few techniques smoothly?"
Xuan Cheng nodded, indicating that everything was fine.
He was different from other disciples. He had a high starting point, strong strength, and excellent talent. Li Ming taught him martial arts, but he basically didn't need any guidance. He just let him figure it out on his own.
Similarly, teaching Xuancheng martial arts is not as easy as teaching other disciples, and ordinary martial arts are meaningless to him.
What Li Ming taught him were either some lost skills of Shaolin Temple, or some Buddhist skills that he had carefully selected to help him improve.
"I'm not here this time, thanks to you. From today on, I will teach you another martial art called Luohan Subduing Demons."
Upon hearing the name, Xuan Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.
Arhat's Demon Subduing Skill!
He had heard of this martial art; his master had mentioned it once.
It is said that this was created by a monk with extraordinary talent and profound Buddhist knowledge, and it is the culmination of Buddhist inner skills.
After practicing, it is not only beneficial to the path of martial arts, but also can help people get rid of distracting thoughts, focus their minds and return to their original nature. In the process of practice, they can gradually break through karma and realize the correct path of Buddhism.
According to his master, this Arhat Subduing Demon Skill was, for a period of time, known as the most exquisite internal skill of the Shaolin School before the Shaolin Temple acquired the Yi Jin Jing.
Unfortunately, this martial art is extremely difficult. Over the years, no one in Shaolin has been able to master it. Later, the martial art was lost and gradually forgotten.
Unexpectedly, Li Ming still has...
Xuan Cheng, a martial arts fanatic, immediately became excited.
After a while, Xuan Cheng left, and Li Ming sat there with satisfaction, checking his system interface.
I had just taught Xuancheng Luohan the Demon Subduing Technique, and as expected, I gained a large number of attribute points.
Li Ming looked at the considerable number of attribute points he had accumulated recently and smiled with satisfaction.
He had obtained this Arhat Subduing Demon Skill in a previous gold lottery, but he had kept it in his hands and had not passed it on.
Because this technique has very demanding requirements and most people lack the mental strength to practice it rashly, it will only backfire.
Li Ming also observed for a period of time and found that although Xuan Cheng was a martial arts fanatic, he was not obsessed with other aspects and had an excellent character. That's why he passed this technique to him.
Moreover, with Li Ming's current strength, he can also provide some help to Xuan Cheng during his practice so that he won't go astray.
After checking the attribute points, Li Ming moved his mind and called up the interface of the martial arts technique.
Now, among the skills he has mastered, there are two more top-level Buddhist internal skills - Yi Jin Jing and Shen Zu Jing!
The corners of Li Ming's mouth curled up slightly.
All of this was obtained from the borrowed copy of the Yi Jin Jing.
Although the sutra that Ah Zhu stole was in Sanskrit and he could not understand it at all, after he flipped through it, the system automatically detected the content of the Yi Jin Jing and it appeared on the interface.
The rest is easy. Just add attribute points and you can gradually improve.
The Shenzu Sutra was even easier. Li Ming had carefully wet the sutra with water and then dried it on the way, so he could easily obtain the contents inside.
Although Li Ming did not want to practice these two internal skills, he also knew their power, and it would be nice to use them to earn attribute points in the future.
As for the Sanskrit version of the Yi Jin Jing, he just glanced through it for two days and then returned it to Qiao Feng.
Afterwards, Li Ming began to take stock of his gains during this period, as well as the attribute points that his disciples had earned for him during the time he was away from Qixia Town.
In the evening, Qiao Feng and Azhu finished their tour of Qixia Town and came to the martial arts hall.
Li Ming specially cleared out a small courtyard for them to rest.
Li Ming specifically instructed his disciples not to disturb Qiao Feng unless necessary, and only arranged two efficient disciples from the Foreign Affairs Hall to be in charge of the liaison.
At the same time, Li Ming did not forget to bring a few jars of good wine.
Although Li Ming himself does not like to drink, there are quite a lot of fine wines stored in the martial arts hall, many of which are gifts from various sects.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Qiao Feng was staying, as soon as the seal was opened, Qiao Feng's eyes immediately lit up.
"Good wine!"
Qiao Feng excitedly picked up the jar of wine and took several gulps, his face full of satisfaction.
Qiao Feng is the type of person who can't enjoy life without alcohol. He has been wandering around for a long time and hasn't had a good wine for a long time. He feels extremely happy at this moment.
Ah Zhu covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Qiao Feng drank most of the jar in one breath before putting it down.
"Brother, you really understand me! Come on, brother, have a few sips too. We won't leave until we are drunk today."
As Qiao Feng spoke, he placed a jar of wine in front of Li Ming, and the two of them began to drink it, taking sips at a time.
Only at times like this could Qiao Feng temporarily put aside his blood feud and his long-standing unhappiness and enjoy the present moment.
What surprised Qiao Feng was that Li Ming seemed to have no interest in alcohol and he had never seen him drink during the whole journey, but his alcohol tolerance was surprisingly good.
Even after Qiao Feng had kept him drunk for a long time, he still wasn't drunk at all.
Seeing this, Qiao Feng became even more excited. He pulled Li Ming to drink to his heart's content. His rare hearty laughter echoed in the courtyard.
Although most of the martial arts school disciples did not know the identities of Qiao Feng and Azhu, they understood that they were guests of the school owner, so no one came to disturb them.
Early the next morning, Li Ming stood at the entrance of the martial arts gym, looking at the streets of Qixia Town, which were familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.
It feels strange because I left for a while, and now when I look at Qixia Town again, I feel it is more prosperous and lively.
There are many more shops at the other end of the main street, selling all kinds of things.
Originally, there was no weapons business in Qixia Town, but recently with more and more martial artists coming and going, the demand has increased, and several blacksmith shops and weapons workshops have appeared in the town.
There are even more places selling wound medicine.
Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Master Li is in charge of the Qixia Town and fighting is not allowed.
As time went on, the situation developed that some people in the underworld who got into trouble outside and were hunted by their enemies would run to the Qixia Town to seek refuge.
Or maybe some forces are tired of fighting and want to negotiate, but are afraid of being framed by the other side, so they choose the location in Qixia Town.
As a result, the business related to warriors in the town is getting better and better. Even Yihonglou has specially launched a service of giving away medicinal wine for injuries and sprains when staying in the hotel.
Li Ming couldn't help but feel very satisfied as he took in the prosperity of the town.
But it's strange that usually the entrance of the martial arts gym is crowded with people who are pestering to become disciples, but today Li Ming is standing here in person, which scares no one and makes no one dare to cause trouble, so the entrance of the martial arts gym is also surprisingly quiet.
After watching for a while, Li Ming clearly felt that someone was watching him in secret.
To be more precise, there were too many people secretly observing him at ordinary times, and Li Ming had long been accustomed to it, but this time, there was an additional extremely powerful guy.
The other party was very cautious and kept the distance just right. If Li Ming had not entered the realm of unity between man and sword and greatly enhanced his true meaning, he might not have been able to discover the other party. Judging from the other party's vaguely exposed aura, he followed Li Ming and Qiao Feng all the way back.
Li Ming had noticed him several times along the way, but the other party didn't know it and thought he was hiding well.
Li Ming guessed that the other party's main target was not himself, but Qiao Feng.
Then Li Ming could guess the other party's identity to be almost certain...
Turning his eyes, Li Ming looked at the Tongfu Inn across the street.
The inn's business is still the same. With the diversion of traffic from Yihonglou, it is not as popular as before, but with more people coming and going in Qixia Town, there are still many guests.
In addition, Mo Xiaobei was bored these days after he came back, so he picked up his old job of telling stories in the inn, and this time he specifically talked about the battle of Juxianzhuang.
As an eyewitness, Mo Xiaobei knew every detail by heart, and with some exaggeration, he really attracted quite a few people and brought a lot of business to the inn.
But Li Ming's attention turned to one person.
He was a young man dressed in white and had a handsome appearance.
He fanned himself with one hand, frowned as he tasted the jasmine tea from Tongfu Inn, and listened attentively to Mo Xiaobei's story.
This man exudes elegance and luxury in his clothing, appearance, gestures and movements. When he sits down at Tongfu Inn, he looks completely different from other rough guys in the world. He looks like a nobleman from an aristocratic family.
He is as handsome as his apprentice Yang Guo.
Although he sat there without saying a word, he still attracted the attention of many women.
Behind the counter, Tong Xiangyu held her chin with her hand and looked at the young man.
Bai Zhantang, who was standing next to her, came over jealously, stood in front of Tong Xiangyu, and waved his hand to interrupt her line of sight.
"Don't look at him, don't look at him, he's just a pretty boy, boss, you've been staring at him for a whole cup of tea."
Hearing Bai Zhantang's sour words, Tong Xiangyu smiled embarrassedly.
"I just think he's different from others, so I looked at him a few more times. Are you angry, Old White?"
"You wish. How could I get angry over such a trivial matter?"
Bai Zhantang arrived in anger.
But when Tong Xiangyu saw him like this, she chuckled with a sense of accomplishment.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Bai Zhantang hurriedly changed the subject and pointed at Guo Furong and said, "Look at Xiao Guo, she behaves so normally, not like a crazy fan at all."
Guo Furong, who was busy wiping the table, complained: "Don't worry, I used to be in the capital, and I have seen many young masters from wealthy families. I value a man's character and ability more, and I don't care about his appearance."
"Oh, our little Guo has a broad vision." Shopkeeper Tong praised.
As he spoke, the nobleman sipped his tea and glanced towards the entrance of Qianming Martial Arts School. He found Li Ming looking at him from afar and suddenly became a little nervous.
"Waiter, take your order."
He gestured to call Bai Zhantang over, asked for the menu and took a look. Seeing that they were all common dishes, he immediately lost interest.
He threw out a silver ingot and said, "Just two of them, they must be clean."
"okay!"
Bai Zhantang took the silver and ran away.
The man glanced sideways again and found that Li Ming had disappeared at the entrance of the martial arts gym. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
He then sighed, "This Master Li is so powerful. If he really attacked Hua Nu and became the enemy of Yihua Palace, I wonder if we can handle it..."
This person is Hua Wuque, the only male disciple of Yihua Palace.
He had recently received an order from the two palace masters saying that Hua Nu had met with an accident while on duty outside.
The person who attacked their Yihua Palace was most likely the notorious Master Li, so they asked him to come and investigate.
In addition to this, Hua Wuque has a more important task, which is to pay special attention to a disciple named Jiang Yuyan under Li Ming, and try every means to get in touch with her, find out the martial arts she practices, and report the situation in a timely manner.
As to why they did this, the two palace masters did not explain.
Hua Wuque didn't ask any more questions and rushed to Qixia Town to inquire about the news.
He thought that he was definitely no match for Li Ming and could not afford to offend him.
But the direct way won't work, you can take a roundabout route. The martial arts school disciples can't stay in there forever, there must be a time for them to come out.
I'll just wait here for Jiang Yuyan, maybe I'll have a chance to find out more about her situation.
Hua Wuque was still somewhat confident when it came to women. After all, he knew that he had a handsome appearance and could attract the attention of countless women wherever he went. He grew up in Yihua Palace and was better at getting along with women.
While thinking, Mo Xiaobei had finished telling the story of the battle in Juxianzhuang. He kicked Qiu Xiaodong, who was dozing off next to him, awake and asked him to help collect the money.
The martial artists in Tongfu Inn were still not satisfied, so they took out silver and threw it to Qiu Xiaodong, and asked Mo Xiaobei to say more.
Soon, Hua Wuqiao's dishes were served. He picked up the chopsticks, tasted a few bites, and lost interest.
After sitting for a while, he left Tongfu Inn and went to Yihong Building opposite. He found a seat by the window and continued to observe the entrance of the martial arts hall...
In this way, Hua Wuque waited at the entrance of the martial arts hall for three days in a row.
Just when he was beginning to doubt whether Jiang Yuyan was in the martial arts gym, suddenly, his eyes lit up.
Jiang Yuyan's tall and straight figure appeared at the entrance of the martial arts hall.
"Fourth Senior Sister..."
The disciples who were guarding the door greeted her one after another, revealing envious looks at her.
The most weird person in the entire Qianming Martial Arts School is the Fourth Senior Sister. She is the last one to become Li Ming's disciple, but her progress is the fastest.
It was obvious that she had no strength before. Everyone saw with their own eyes that she only practiced some extremely boring moves every day. Every time her fellow disciples competed with each other, she could only hide aside and watch.
As a result, after going out with his master, he inexplicably came back to the late stage of the Innate Realm, and his progress directly surpassed that of the other three disciples.
In recent days, the disciples in the martial arts school have been practicing together every day, but the difference is that Jiang Yuyan has also joined in.
Not only did he win ten battles in a row against other Xiantian realm disciples, but he also did not lose to Lin Pingzhi, Mo Xiaobei and Yang Guo in the competition.
The other core disciples looked on with envy.
In the process of sparring with her fellow disciples, Jiang Yuyan's own fighting ability was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she became more and more proficient in controlling her own wedding dress skills.
Today, Jiang Yuyan took a break and went out for a stroll.
The management of martial arts schools nowadays is not as lax as before, and disciples are even less likely to wander around as they did before. They only have regular rest time and have to report to the Foreign Affairs Hall.
If you act arbitrarily without permission and are discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall, you will be punished lightly or directly expelled in serious cases.
Hua Wuque waited for several days before he saw Jiang Yuyan. He immediately perked up, threw some silver on the table, left Yihonglou in a flash, and followed Jiang Yuyan from a distance.
