Chapter 163: The best talent in the world, letters from all over the city asking for a fight
Dajing, Donglin Prefecture.
In a city surrounded by mountains, there is a constant flow of traffic, and merchants and warriors are everywhere on the streets.
Bang!
A young boy was thrown out of the gambling house and landed on the street.
Then, a burly man came out and cursed, "Little bastard, if you come in again next time, I will break your legs!"
The young man was wearing a patched cloth, his long hair was tied up on his head with a rag. He patted his butt, stood up, and cursed: "I won the money by my own strength, you can't afford it, be careful or I will sue the government!"
The burly man cursed, "Then go ahead and sue me. If you dare to sue me, I will hang you in front of the city gate tomorrow morning. Do you believe it?"
The boy was frightened and could only hum: "You're exaggerating. I don't believe it, but I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Having said that, he ran away.
The burly man spat, then turned and entered the gambling house.
The young man ran for several blocks before he slowed down. He rubbed his butt and grimaced, "It hurts so much, you bastards. I have invested so much money in you guys over the years. What's wrong with me winning a little from you? You are so ruthless."
His name is Yang Zhou, he is sixteen years old this year, born in an ordinary peasant family with seven members. His eldest brother loves reading and is working hard to pass the imperial examinations. His other sisters have been staying in their boudoirs learning embroidery, but he is the only one who is idle most of the time.
Yang Zhou walked home cursing, and soon he started wailing because he had no money again.
bump!
He suddenly bumped into someone, who made him stumble back two steps.
He raised his eyes to look at the other person and cursed: "You have no eyes..."
He was stunned before he could finish his words, because the other person was so handsome. Even though he was a man, he was amazed, especially the other person's temperament. He had never seen anyone with such temperament.
It was Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng said: "You have eyes, two of them. I had already stopped walking, but you bumped into me. Who do you think has no eyes?"
Yang Zhou smiled awkwardly, clasped his fists as an apology, and then walked away from Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly called him and asked, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"
Yang Zhou stopped, turned his head and looked at him, and said, "Of course I want to. Can you teach me?"
"Yes, I'll teach you. "
Jiang Changsheng smiled and looked at Yang Zhou carefully.
A few days ago, he used incense to calculate that the person with the greatest martial arts talent on the Dragon Vessel Continent was Yang Zhou. It happened that Yang Zhou had not yet become a disciple and had not grown up.
Yang Zhou asked cautiously: "How much does it cost to ask you to teach me martial arts?"
He thought of the old beggar he met when he was young, who used a scribbled secret book to cheat him out of ten cents, which he had stolen from his eldest brother's bed.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "I don't want money, I want your people. Learn martial arts with me. From now on, you have to work for me."
He observed Yang Zhou for a few days and found that this kid was just a street thug. Fortunately, he was not too bad. He just liked to hang out in gambling houses and bully the kids next door.
Yang Zhou frowned and asked, "You are not a magic warrior, right?"
He had heard that those evil sects liked to trick young men into giving themselves to them, so that they would fall into the evil path and do evil things.
Jiang Changsheng grabbed his shoulders, leaped up, and took him up to the sky, overlooking the entire city.
Yang Zhou widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
Jiang Changsheng then landed and released his right hand.
Yang Zhou staggered and fell to the ground.
He immediately got up and said excitedly: "I am willing to learn martial arts from you!"
What kind of magic!
Never mind!
He was going to become such an amazing person!
When he comes back to gamble again, will those bastards still dare to attack him?
Jiang Changsheng took out a purse from his sleeve, threw it into his arms, and said, "Say goodbye to your family. This money will be used as your advance payment for your parents' retirement. Tomorrow morning, wait for me outside the city. As long as you leave the city, I will be able to find you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Changsheng disappeared out of thin air.
Yang Zhou opened the purse and found it was full of silver. He was very excited. He immediately put the purse away and looked around vigilantly.
"Strange, that guy just took me flying, why didn't the people around him react?"
Yang Zhou was secretly surprised, but the money was real and he was too lazy to think about it.
…
At noon the next day.
Yang Zhou stood in front of the gate of Longqi Temple with a dazed expression.
"Beijing...Beijing City...is it really...Longqi Temple?"
Yang Zhou looked at the mountain gate in front of the long line of pilgrims and spoke stutteringly.
Although he had never left the city since he was a child, he had heard of the name of Longqi Temple.
This is the most sacred place in Dajing!
Jiang Changsheng dropped him at the foot of the mountain and let him climb the mountain by himself.
Yang Zhou was amazed by Wu Feng. Along the way, he asked other pilgrims where this place was. He asked three times and was met with cold stares each time. He did not dare to ask more questions and walked quickly up the mountain, and then he saw the three words "Longqi Temple".
From Donglin Prefecture to Si Prefecture, it was at least 80,000 miles away. How come he felt like he had only flown for a short while?
At this time, a woman came over.
It was Qing'er.
Qing'er looked at Yang Zhou and asked, "Are you Yang Zhou?"
Yang Zhou came back to his senses and said, "I am... my name is Yang Zhou, I am..."
He was about to mention Jiang Changsheng, but suddenly realized that he didn't know his name.
"Come with me. From now on, you are a disciple of Longqi Temple and you will take me as your master. I already know your situation. Don't show up again with your previous bad habits. If I find out, I will not show mercy."
After saying this, Qing'er turned and walked into the temple, and Yang Zhou hurriedly followed.
On the other side, Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard .
Jiang Changsheng looked away after seeing Yang Zhou enter the temple.
Yang Zhou was a man of extraordinary talent. Even though he had not practiced martial arts, his senses surpassed those of ordinary people. That was why he could hear the sounds in the card pot and judge the size. It was because he won too much that he was thrown into the street by the gambling house and his money was confiscated.
Nowadays, Dajing promotes the spirit of martial arts, but Donglinzhou is too far away from Sizhou. The emperor is far away, and martial arts are controlled by the powerful, so Yang Zhou has not practiced martial arts since he was a child.
If he had stayed in the city, this greatest talent would have been buried.
He observed Yang Zhou's muscles and bones, which were very peculiar. In terms of strength, they were not as strong as Jiang Jian and Ping An. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing special about them. During the flight, he deliberately slowed down his speed and observed carefully.
It turns out that there are nine special acupuncture points in Yang Zhou's body that need to be stimulated by true Qi. Once they are opened, the eight extraordinary meridians will definitely transform. This situation is extremely magical, and it is the first time that Jiang Changsheng has seen it .
He has already instructed Qing'er to let Yang Zhou directly learn the Great Zhoutian Divine Art.
Yang Zhou's joining did not have any impact on Longqi Temple, because there are now nearly 10,000 disciples in Longqi Temple, and one more person would be difficult to be discovered.
One month later.
late at night.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, and after a few breaths, the Sword God also opened his eyes and looked at Wu Feng.
Good job!
After only one month of practice, Yang Zhou had actually mastered the first level of the Great Zhoutian Divine Art. He used his true Qi to successfully open up his acupuncture points and ushered in a transformation. The martial arts spiritual energy on Wufeng was flowing towards him, helping him to temper his body.
Fortunately, Jiang Changsheng had instructed him in advance to have a room of his own, so the other disciples were not alarmed.
The Sword God looked at Jiang Changsheng and said, "It seems that an extraordinary genius has appeared in Longqi Temple. Can I go and take a look?"
Jiang Changsheng nodded.
The Sword God immediately disappeared over the roof.
Bai Qi opened his eyes and asked curiously, "Even the Sword God was alarmed. It seems that this disciple is not simple. Tsk tsk, Master, Longqi Temple finally has an extraordinary genius. I wonder how he compares to Zhou Juesai and Yu Qingyuan?"
When it heard the names Zhou Juesai and Yu Qingyuan before, it secretly complained.
The Second and Third Holy Lands both have geniuses who are famous throughout the world, so why doesn’t Longqi Temple have one?
Arakawa used to be considered one, but he is now old.
Jiang Changsheng said: "He is stronger."
Although it only cost 1 incense point to find Yang Zhou, that was because Yang Zhou was too weak, not because he lacked talent.
He has now figured out that the incense value is only divided according to realm and skill, and cannot represent specific strength.
Not only the Sword God, but Qing'er, Arakawa, and Lingxiao were also alarmed and came to Yang Zhou's courtyard one after another. When they saw the Sword God appear, the three of them immediately saluted.
Jiang Changsheng raised his head, his eyes piercing through the fairy mist, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and murmured, "Another beautiful moon."
…
Since the war in Dajing started, there have been continuous victories within half a year, and even four dynasties have voluntarily surrendered and directly allowed the vassal kings to take over the country.
Emperor Shuntian was also not idle. He sent a large number of civil and military officials, and had no intention of handing over the newly acquired territories to the vassal kings. Although the vassal kings were dissatisfied, they did not dare to refute. Everyone knew that the current Majesty inherited the legacy of the Human King, had great martial arts skills, and with the protection of the Taoist Ancestor, let alone rebellion, they did not even dare to say no to Emperor Shuntian.
When Dajing was expanding rapidly, Yang Zhou also began to gain fame in Longqi Temple.
He can learn any external skill after watching it once.
The disciples immediately called out that a second Zhou Juesai had emerged.
Yang Zhou was also very surprised. He had seen warriors perform martial arts before, but he couldn't remember it at that time.
He felt that it was the immortal-like senior who bestowed his talent upon him. He had been in Longqi Temple for some time and knew that there was only one extremely young and handsome Taoist priest in a white robe.
Tao Ancestor!
Only Daozu could allow him to directly become Qing'er's disciple.
He was grateful to Daozu and felt very determined not to let him down.
This day.
Qing'er comes to visit.
She did not come to inform Yang Zhou of his situation, but brought a letter, saying: "Master, something big has happened. This letter is now circulating throughout the city. It is a letter of challenge, saying that Tianhai No. 1 Ye is looking for an enemy to fight. On the first day of next month, I will fight you at the top of Wufeng Mountain."
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, took the letter, and was secretly happy.
The Sword God frowned and said, "The number one person in Tianhai, is he here for that thing?"
Bai Qi spread his paws and said, "It's okay. Whoever comes will lose. Speaking of which, there haven't been any newcomers to the Hero's Tomb for a long time."
Jiang Changsheng said: "This person is quite capable of doing some tricks."
Not bad, not bad!
Worthy of praise!
Isn't this a chance for him to show his divine power?
Perhaps he could also gain Tianhai's incense value by doing so.
Qing'er said helplessly: "It is said that it is not only in the capital, but there is a group of mysterious warriors spreading this letter, and even the White Guards can't catch them."
Jiang Changsheng said: "If he wants to come, then he can come."
He paused and said, "In a few days, take that kid to Zhenwu Pavilion. While Zhou Juesai is still here, it's a good time to stimulate him so that he won't become arrogant."
