Chapter 130 Master Chu, Young Hero Chu, Hero Chu

After Chu Yuan and Gou Zazhong left the street, they came to a dilapidated temple outside the town together.

This dilapidated temple is not big and is called Tuwang Temple by the villagers around Hou Jianji.

The Tuwang Temple is no more than two meters long and ten meters wide. It only has a lonely house and is located in the northwest of Houjianji.

Half of the south wall collapsed, and there was a big hole in the roof above. The rainwater leaked from the hole and soaked the statue in the temple, causing it to collapse. Only half of the body was left, but it was still standing there.

It is impossible to know what kind of deity is enshrined in this dilapidated temple.

The dilapidated temple has been abandoned for many years. Because the roof is broken, water will accumulate in the temple when it rains, and it is extremely humid. Even when the weather is clear, it will take a long time to dry up, making it completely uninhabitable.

Fortunately, otherwise Chu Yuan would never have had the chance to take this place.

Although the ruined temple is damp all year round, the original terrain in the northeast corner of the temple is slightly higher, and it was raised a lot by Chu Yuan's predecessor who dug up the soil and put a lot of dry grass there to isolate it from the moisture, which made the Tuwang Temple Chu Yuan's residence.

The bastard had no place to live when he arrived at Houjianji, and was allowed by Chu Yuan to live in the Tuwang Temple.

"Brother Chu Yuan, you are so powerful that you can defeat three people by yourself!"

After the two returned to the Tuwang Temple, they walked around the flooded area in the middle. It had rained heavily here two days ago. They returned to the haystack in the corner and sat down. The mongrel looked at Chu Yuan with surprise.

In his opinion, Chu Yuan was only one year older than him, and of similar height and build, but he was able to knock down Liu Laigou's three beggars in a short period of time. He was really amazing.

"I learned some martial arts before."

Chu Yuan said to the bastard.

Since the bastard had just arrived at Houjianji, he didn't know that Chu Yuan was just an ordinary beggar in the past and had been bullied by Liu Laigou and the other two.

He suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Chu Yuan returned one of the two copper coins he had just saved from Liu Laigou to the bastard: "I'll return your copper coin to you."

The bastard didn't use his hands to take it. He looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Brother Chu, you don't have to give me this copper coin. Without you, I can't keep it. Since you saved it from Liu Lai Gou, you can take it!"

Chu Yuan said: "But you got this copper coin back!"

The bastard said, "It's true that I got the copper coins back, but it was also you, Big Brother Chu, who saved them."

Chu Yuan thought about it and did not insist. He put the copper coins away and said, "I'll take these two copper coins first. When I buy steamed buns, I'll give you half."

The bastard said, "That's fine too. Thank you, Brother Chu."

In his opinion, since Chu Yuan had secured the copper coin, it belonged to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan, however, was willing to use the money to buy steamed buns and give himself half of it. He felt that this Brother Chu, whom he met after leaving home, was a good man.

At this time, the sky outside the house had gradually darkened. The sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun in the sky was blood-red. It was already dusk.

Wang Wang Wang!
Just then, a dog barking was heard outside.

The mongrel said happily: "Brother Chu, it's Ah Huang who is back."

Sure enough, a large yellow dog with light yellow fur ran in happily from outside.

Facing the mongrel master, Chu Yuan wagged his tail up and down.

Because these days, when there is enough food, Chu Yuan will feed some of the leftovers he collects to the big yellow dog.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful when receiving favors from others, and one should be grateful when eating from others. After eating a few meals from Chu Yuan, the big yellow dog had already regarded Chu Yuan as half its master. Apart from its own master, the mongrel, it would wag its tail when it saw Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan saw Ah Huang and reached out to touch Ah Huang's dog head.

Ah Huang felt very comfortable. He lowered his body and stretched his head.

In fact, the reason why Chu Yuan and Ah Huang developed a relationship so quickly was also because Chu Yuan often stroked it.

Not only does petting a dog make people feel comfortable, but the dog also feels very comfortable.

Compared to Chu Yuan, its owner, Gou Zongzhong, rarely pets it.

After masturbating for a while, the sky outside had gradually darkened and it was almost night.

In ancient times, ordinary people had no entertainment activities at night, let alone beggars like them.

Chu Yuan sat cross-legged on the straw mat and began to meditate and practice internal skills.

What he practiced was the Nine Heavens Magical Art which was created in the previous world and was a revised version of the "Nine Heavens Scriptures".

"Brother Chu, what are you doing?"

The mongrel was half lying on the other half of the hay. He saw Chu Yuan sitting cross-legged in meditation and asked Chu Yuan curiously.

Ever since he came to Houjianji and lived in Tuwang Temple with Chu Yuan, he would see Chu Yuan sitting cross-legged in meditation almost every night.

It was just that he and Chu Yuan had just met before and were not that familiar with each other, so he didn't know how to ask.
"Regulate your breathing and meditate to practice your inner strength!"

Chu Yuan stopped breathing, opened his eyes, and said to the bastard.

"Oh!"

The bastard nodded.

He just looked at Chu Yuan and didn't ask Chu Yuan to teach him.

Chu Yuan knew that Gou Zazhong was not a person who liked to ask for help from others.

Later, by chance, he obtained Xie Yanke's Xuantie Order. Xie Yanke tried every means and even dreamed of making the bastard beg him, but the bastard just refused.

"Want to learn?"

Chu Yuan took the initiative to ask the bastard.

He knew that in the future, the dog bastard should have obtained a set of clay figurines given by the Great Compassion Old Man before his death after saving the old man. There was a roadmap for practicing martial arts on the clay figurines. Xie Yanke deliberately taught him to practice in reverse, and originally wanted the dog bastard who didn't ask for help to die like this. Who knew that the dog bastard was so gifted that he actually practiced a magical skill of reverse yin and yang by chance.

"I want to learn, Brother Chu, do you want to teach me?"

The bastard kept nodding.

The scene of Chu Yuan defeating three big beggars in the street in an instant during the day made him extremely envious.

Although his mother told him not to ask others for help, if others wanted to teach him, they would naturally teach him and he didn't need to ask. But if others didn't intend to teach him, it would be useless to ask.

But since Chu Yuan was willing to teach him, and he didn't need to ask anyone for help, he was naturally willing to learn.

Chu Yuan nodded and said, "I will teach you a kung fu, you practice it according to my instructions!"

As he was talking, Chu Yuan told Gou Zongzhong the training mantras and energy movement routes.

After finishing his speech, Chu Yuan asked the bastard: "Do you remember it?"

The bastard nodded and said, "Brother Chu, I'll remember it."

Chu Yuan said: "Practice at least once a day in the future, and it won't be long before you can be as good as me."

The martial arts that Chu Yuan passed on to Gou Zazhong was the Shaolin Temple's secret "Yi Jin Jing".

Chu Yuan did not intend to pass on the "Nine Heavens Sutra" he created to the bastard, so he passed on the "Yi Jin Jing" to the bastard instead.

"Brother Chu, thank you for teaching me martial arts. I will remember it for the rest of my life."

The bastard said to Chu Yuan solemnly.

"After all, you call me Brother Chu, so I can't call you that for nothing."

Chu Yuan said with a smile.

The reason why he was willing to teach martial arts to the bastard was because the bastard had been willing to give him a penny before, which made Chu Yuan feel that the bastard was a very loyal person.

The hope in Gou Bastard's eyes just now was almost overflowing from his eyes, and Gou Bastard was not a person who would ask for help from others, so he simply took the initiative to teach Gou Bastard a martial art.

"Okay, try to meditate and practice on your own. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Chu Yuan said to the bastard.

He also needs to seize the time to practice martial arts. No matter which world he is in, strength is the prerequisite for a better life.

His current identity is a beggar, but Chu Yuan has no intention of being a beggar for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, he traveled to a new world. Although his terrifying and powerful internal strength was gone, his memories and experience of practicing martial arts were still there.

In a few years, all his internal strength and martial arts will be restored.

"Okay, Brother Chu, just practice on your own and don't worry about me."

The bastard nodded.

After Chu Yuan nodded, he no longer cared about the bastard and started practicing the "Nine Heavens Divine Art" on his own.

"However, after this time traveling, my aptitude and bones are much better than in the previous world, and my innate vitality is much deeper than that of ordinary people. In this world, whether I can compare with that bastard is another matter, but I can be considered a true martial arts prodigy."

Chu Yuan said in his heart while practicing.

He traveled through this world for only a month, and the first meridian of the "Nine Heavens Divine Art", the Sun Small Intestine Meridian, was about to be opened.

In his previous world, it took him much longer to practice and open up the first meridian of the "Nine Heavens Divine Art".

Compared to himself, the bastard could even master the reverse martial arts that others had taught him. Not only did he not go astray, but he also mastered the Yin-Yang, Water and Fire skills that no one had ever mastered before or since. This was partly because the bastard was born with a simple nature, and also because he was a martial arts genius who was born too lazy to even notice anything.

"Try to open up the first meridian of the Nine Heavens Divine Art tonight!"

Chu Yuan said secretly in his heart.

Mastering and opening up the first meridian of the "Nine Heavens Divine Art" means that Chu Yuan has extraordinary internal strength.

If you encounter the same situation as during the day again, you won’t have to take the risk of hitting the opponent’s weak point to win.

"It's a pity that I traveled through time too quickly, and I didn't have time to exchange the Dugu Nine Swords from Linghu Chong and Feng Qingyang. The Dugu Nine Swords is a sword technique that has extremely amazing power even without internal energy."

While thinking about random things, Chu Yuan continued to meditate and circulate the Qi.

Seeing Chu Yuan sitting next to him meditating and practicing, the bastard immediately followed suit, sitting cross-legged next to him and practicing Qigong according to the method Chu Yuan had just taught him.

Even if there were things he didn't understand, he didn't bother Chu Yuan, but kept them in his heart, ready to ask Chu Yuan during the day. Chu Yuan and Gou Zazhong sat cross-legged on the straw mat to meditate and practice, while Ah Huang lay beside them, his abdomen rising and falling slightly, and he fell asleep.

Outside the Tuwang Temple.

The moon rabbit rose into the night sky, then slowly descended, and a hint of paleness appeared on the horizon.

Chu Yuan, who had been meditating and practicing martial arts all night, shook his body and took back the internal force that was flowing through his meridians into his Dantian Qi Sea. He opened his eyes and a hint of joy flashed between his brows.

The first meridian of "Nine Heavens Divine Art" is open!

"With these internal powers, even if I am not a match for those famous masters in this world, I will be able to protect myself."

Chu Yuan said happily.

Although the internal force in his qi sea is now far less than one ten-millionth of what it was at his peak.

But this is just starting over, and to be able to achieve such results in such a short period of time is amazing.

"Brother Chu!"

Hearing the noise, the bastard woke up from his meditation, opened his eyes and greeted Chu Yuan.

"How's your training going?"

Chu Yuan asked the bastard.

"Not bad, I can already feel the Qi flow."

The bastard said.

The first step in practicing internal energy is to follow the meridian and acupoint routes to reach the point of Qi sympathy, and then you can develop internal strength.

Chu Yuan nodded and said no more.

For others, it seems exaggerated to achieve qi symphony after practicing for one night.

But for a mongrel with excellent qualifications and physique, it was not a surprising thing.

And the speed at which he practices the "Nine Heavens Divine Art" is much faster than that of a bastard.

……

The two of them practiced martial arts all night last night and stayed up all night, so they took a nap to make up for the sleep.

They slept until noon, then the two men and the dog walked out of the Tuwang Temple and came to Houjian Market, ready to find a way to fill their stomachs.

"Master Chu!"

"Master Chu!"

"Young Master Chu!"

Along the way, everyone on the street who knew Chu Yuan greeted him.

It seems that yesterday's news spread very quickly, and it seemed that everyone in the market knew that he had defeated the three big beggars.

Chu Yuan could also clearly feel that his status in the market had significantly improved since he easily defeated three big beggars including Liu Laigou on the street yesterday.

In the past, no matter where he appeared in the market, most people who saw him looked at him with disgust.

Just now, as he and the mongrel were walking along, the people in the market who saw him, as long as they knew him, greeted him.

The name has also changed from "little beggar" and "little beggar" to the current "Mr. Chu", "Master Chu" and "Young Master Chu".

This was a treatment that Chu Yuan's predecessor had never enjoyed before he traveled through time.

Not only that, there were also shop owners along the street who wanted to give food to Chu Yuan and Gou Zongzhong, but they were rejected by Chu Yuan.

No reward without merit. These people wanted to make friends with him because of his great martial arts skills.

Once he accepts it, he will be bound by human relationships.

Soon, they arrived at a shop selling steamed buns.

"Boss, a steamed bun!"

Chu Yuan took out the two copper coins from yesterday and handed them to the steamed bun shop owner.

The owner of the steamed bun shop was a short and fat middle-aged man with a white apron tied around his waist and his hair tied in a bun with a square scarf.

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, he looked up and saw that it was Chu Yuan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Oh, it turns out to be our great master, Master Chu is here!"

The "hero" mentioned by the steamed bun shop owner may just be a compliment.

But Chu Yuan remembered that when he came to the steamed bun shop half a month ago, the other party was not like this.

The steamed bun shop owner at that time must have disliked Chu Yuan so much that he told Chu Yuan to beg far away and not to stand in front of his shop.

At that time, Chu Yuan thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and he had just started practicing martial arts and was still in the stage of hiding his abilities. There was no need to get angry with the owner of a steamed bun shop, so Chu Yuan really left.

"Master Chu, here are your steamed buns. The remaining two are from me."

The steamed bun shop owner opened the steamer and wrapped three steamed buns with straw paper in the steaming steamer for Chu Yuan. He said with a flattering smile.

It seemed that he was afraid that Chu Yuan would bear a grudge, so he gave Chu Yuan two more steamed buns.

"Thanks!"

Chu Yuan thought about it and didn’t refuse. He took the three steamed buns and kept them.

Anyway, the steamed buns were not that expensive, and he was not so petty as to hold the previous little things to heart.

If I don't accept it myself, it will probably make the steamed bun shop owner even more worried.

"Look at what you are saying, Mr. Chu. If you want to eat steamed buns next time, come back and I won't charge you."

Seeing Chu Yuan taking the steamed buns, the steamed bun shop owner knew that Chu Yuan was not going to care about what happened before, and he rolled his eyes and said.

Businessmen have their own business wisdom. He felt that Chu Yuan had such good martial arts at such a young age, and his future was limitless.

If I can have a few steamed buns every day, I can maintain my relationship with Chu Yuan, and there may be opportunities to need Chu Yuan's help in the future.

"It's okay to eat for free, but this time is an exception. If I really want to eat steamed buns in the future, I will definitely pay for them."

Chu Yuan refused.

As he spoke, he gave one and a half of the three steamed buns to the mongrel, and gave some of the steamed bun crumbs to Ah Huang, who was circling around him and wagging his tail.

Ah Huang was not dissatisfied and licked up all the steamed bun crumbs on the ground until there was nothing left.

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, the steamed bun shop owner looked disappointed. He knew that Chu Yuan was politely refusing him.

Well, how could a young man with such martial arts skills be bribed by just a few steamed buns?

"What's so delicious about steamed buns? I'll treat you to fried cakes..."

Just then, a voice was heard from the oil pancake shop next door.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuan and Gou Zazhong turned their gaze towards the oil pancake shop.

The person who was speaking was a white-haired old man in his fifties, standing in front of a wok, frying pancakes.

He held a pair of black iron tongs in his hand, and kept scooping out the fried cakes and dough sticks from the pan and placing them on the rack next to him to drain the oil.

The other person's breathing was longer than that of an ordinary person, and his every move seemed casual, but it seemed more like he had incorporated martial arts into the process of frying the pancakes.

"This person is not an ordinary pancake shop owner, but a gangster. However, his martial arts skills are probably not very high."

After Chu Yuan took a look, he analyzed the information.

"Will you pay?"

Chu Yuan asked with a smile.

The aroma of the fried dough cakes filled the entire street, and it was indeed much more delicious than the tasteless steamed buns.

"You two are beggars. The two copper coins you just gave me are all the money you have, right? I'll treat you to a meal!"

The oil cake shop owner said.

"it is good."

Chu Yuan agreed.

He walked towards the oil pancake shop first.

The bastard was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to follow.

His mother told him that there is no free meal in the world.

But seeing that Chu Yuan had already walked over, he had no choice but to follow.

"It seems that fried cakes are better than steamed buns."

Seeing that Chu Yuan, who had just said that he would not eat for free, had already walked to the oil cake shop next door, the steamed bun shop owner sighed and could only continue selling his steamed buns.

Chu Yuan and the mongrel came to the oil pancake shop next door.

The owner of the fried dough sticks shop said with a smile: "You can take as many fried dough sticks and fried dough sticks as you like. It's my treat today."

Chu Yuan was not polite either. He took a piece of fried dough cake and a fried dough stick from the iron rack where the fried dough cake shop owner drained the oil and handed them to the bastard.

He also took the same fried dough sticks and fried pancakes as the bastard and started eating them. To be honest, both fried dough sticks and fried pancakes were delicious, especially according to the memories that Chu Yuan inherited from his original body. During his begging career, fried cakes were something he had dreamed of eating, let alone meat.

It’s just that fried dough sticks are fried in oil and are several times more expensive than steamed buns. A steamed bun costs two copper coins, while a fried dough stick costs ten cents. So I had never eaten it before, I only saw others eating it.

Seeing Chu Yuan and the bastard eating happily, the pancake shop owner put the raw pancakes and dough sticks into the pan. While waiting for them to be fried, he asked casually:
"Little brother, when I saw you defeat Liu Laigou and the others yesterday, it seemed that you used swordsmanship, and it was not an ordinary swordsmanship. You must be a famous swordsman. I wonder who your master is?"

Chu Yuan thought to himself: "Here I am. As expected, the main purpose is not to invite you to eat oil cakes, but to find out my master!"
