Chapter 4 Tea Stall
The next day, early morning.
Fang Xian, wearing a blue robe that had been washed to a slightly pale color, said goodbye to his parents and walked out of the village amid the curling smoke.
"The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!"
As he stepped onto the vast road, his heart was filled with the excitement of youth. This was a very novel experience for him, who had been an old otaku for two lifetimes.
"Well, the name Wang Xiaoer is too vulgar. When I travel around the world, I will be called Fang Xian... The world is dangerous, so if I can avoid leaving my name, I will use a pseudonym. If I really can't, I will just use a fake name!"
This is also why we cut off contact from the beginning to avoid bringing disaster to our family.
"The most urgent task at the moment is to find the real internal classics and practice true qi!"
Fang Xian had secretly learned the "Tiger Fist" in the county town, and had memorized it by relying on his talent of the [Dongxuan Eye]. However, the method of circulating true Qi was not just a few movements, and it was impossible to see through it.
"Speaking of classics, I only have one copy of the 'Dongxuan Secret Records'. It might surpass many martial arts classics and be a supreme evil skill. But I am not willing to practice it. Even if I am willing, I can't learn it. This may be related to the world, and more likely to be related to that unknown existence..."
Fang Xian guessed that the key to practicing "Dongxuan Secret Record" is to establish a connection with that evil being.
At the beginning, he had dreamt of a strange scene, which awakened his talent of [Dongxuan Eye].
The mysterious eye can see through the mysteries and observe in great detail!
"In other words, the key to practicing this evil thing lies in 'connection' and 'frequency'. Maybe that evil god-like existence sent a 'signal' from the depths of the universe. The 'Dongxuan Secret Record' adjusts the human body and turns it into a 'radio'. Only after receiving the signal can the human body be adjusted and gradually become 'inhuman'. Once you change the universe, the connection is broken and you can't receive the signal, you can't practice. However, the 'Dongxuan Eye' that has been successfully practiced has been preserved. I've made a profit. I've eaten the sugar coating and thrown the shell back..."
Fang Xian was worried. Although this was just his guess, it was very likely to be true.
Taking advantage of such existence is not a good thing.
Moreover, the evil nature of "Dongxuan Secret Record" made him choose to stay away from it.
"It will take a few hours to walk along the mountain road to the county town. However, I once secretly learned martial arts in the martial arts hall there. Although I just lay on the wall and watched for a long time, I still have to be on guard... Besides, there may be acquaintances in the county town. There is no point in changing the name. After all, no matter how remote the Wang Laogen family is in the countryside, they have always been to the county town several times..."
Looking at the fork in the road in front of him, Fang Xian hesitated for a moment and chose another road leading to Yaofeng County City.
No matter what, the county town is always more prosperous than the county town!
Even though there are some masters who like to live in seclusion in the mountains, there are also many martial arts masters who like to enjoy luxury. With the flourishing martial arts culture in the county town, there is always a chance to learn a few tricks.
"If there were something like a life-and-death contest to watch, it would be even more enjoyable... It would also be nice to find a sect to join, so you can't always steal martial arts..."
Thinking of this, Fang Xian couldn't help but sigh.
If you practice martial arts without practicing your skills, it will all be in vain when you get old!
This was a sentence he overheard from a martial arts gym in the county.
The so-called martial arts refers to various moves, techniques, and external skills in a narrow sense.
And Kung Fu is the internal strength that can cultivate true Qi!
"It is so difficult to cultivate true Qi from the outside to the inside. If you want to become a master, you still have to find a famous master to teach you the inner skills!"
"But what is true Qi?"
Fang Xian was very curious about this supernatural power.
But thinking about your own background and family background, you can forget about trying to impress any big sect and become their disciple.
However, I have the [Dongxuan Eye], which can be disguised as a talent like "photographic memory". I wonder if there will be any master who would be willing to accept me as his disciple.
Fang Xian doesn't mind having a teacher.
If my family had been very poor and I could not afford the tuition, I would not have had to study secretly.
He walked for several days with his bag on his back and was only half a day's journey away from Yaofeng County.
Along the way, you can see numerous farmlands around, which seems much more prosperous than the area around the small county town.
There are also tea stalls on the roadside for pedestrians to rest.
Fang Xian looked at the sun. The scorching sun was across the sky, burning the earth and sky, and heat waves were rolling.
He walked into the tea stall and bought a bowl of tea with a copper coin.
The tea here is just average, but warm enough to quench your thirst, yet not too cold to upset your stomach.
Fang Xian drank one bowl and then another, then took out some dry food and ate it slowly.
At this moment, he glanced around and everyone in the tea shed came into view.
There were not many people at this time, with only three tables of people sitting under the tea stall.
At one table sat a grandfather and grandson, who were dressed simply and looked like ordinary farmers.
At another table sat several young men and women in blue suits, holding knives and swords, dressed like gangsters.
Apart from that, there was only this ordinary-looking boy named him.
"Brother, we are about to arrive at Yaofeng County City. Are there any famous martial arts masters, sect martial arts schools, or even young heroes in the city?"
At this time, an oval-faced girl among the young men and women suddenly spoke.
When Fang Xian heard this, his heart was moved. On the surface, he was chewing dry food, but his ears pricked up secretly.
"If we talk about the new talents in the martial arts world today, the most famous ones should be the Eight Great Heroes and the Sixteen New Stars... Among them, the 'Tianluo Star' Bao Qian was born in Yaofeng County!"
The senior among the young men and women answered.
"Tianluo Star..."
Several junior brothers and sisters looked longingly: "If we can become famous in the martial arts world one day... then our lives will not be in vain!"
"Well, fellow junior brothers and sisters, please work hard..."
The young senior brother encouraged, but rolled his eyes in his heart, knowing that without a fortuitous encounter, this would be basically impossible.
Just then, another carriage stopped next to the tea stall.
The servant tied up the horse, and a maid with a red coat, a red hairpin on her head, an oval face, and a very beautiful appearance got off the carriage. She glanced at the teahouse, nodded, and said to the carriage: "Miss, I think this teahouse is quite clean, how about we take a rest here?"
"Very good."
A low reply was heard from inside the carriage, a hand was extended, and a young woman got off the carriage with the help of a maid.
She had a graceful figure, but her face was covered with a veil, hiding the part below her bright eyes.
"well……"
A low sigh was heard.
He was one of the brothers at that table.
Originally, he thought the maid was quite beautiful and was imagining how stunning the young lady would be. But when he saw this scene, he was greatly disappointed.
"snort!"
This little thought was nothing, but the sister next to her noticed it. She snorted coldly and looked at the young lady with a bit of jealousy and curiosity.
