Volume 1: Wild Beasts, Changes Begin Chapter 5: Indecisive Vitality
It was naturally pitch black in the cave, but if you were closer, you could still make out the outlines of the action.
Zhao Dapeng seemed to check on the unconscious old man and said, "Elder Feng must have been too tired from fighting so many times, and he may have been poisoned, so he is unconscious Once I help him dredge his blood and qi, and regulate his qi, he should be able to wake up."
A gentle and rhythmic clapping sound was heard, and Zhao Dapeng began to get busy. Fang Yunhan moved a little further away from them and went to the cave entrance to get some fresh air.
Taking advantage of this time, Fang Yunhan summoned the character template, clicked on Tie Shou's three main cultivation techniques, and examined them carefully.
Among the consistent magic skills, the majestic magic skills, and the fierce bare-handed fist, it is obvious that the third one is a move used for fighting.
Fang Yunhan started looking at the third item.
He was not a genius with a photographic memory, and although the secret book was written in simplified Chinese, the wording and sentence structure had a feeling of ancient Chinese texts from his previous life with multiple meanings. There were also some words made up of rare characters, and he had already prepared himself for the temporary difficulty in understanding them.
Unexpectedly, the more he read, the smoother he understood. After reading it twice, he could close his eyes and let the text and pictures flow clearly before his eyes. He also inexplicably understood words that he had never seen before.
This is probably some kind of effect that comes with the character template.
After reading all three secret books and memorizing them by heart, Fang Yunhan took a look at the character template and found that the progress of the lowest ability had reached 6%.
It seems that his previous guess was correct. In addition to spreading his fame in this world with a character style close to Iron Hand, self-learning Iron Hand's martial arts moves can also speed up the growth of his progress.
The surprises did not end there, because Zhao Dapeng was still treating the elder who was passing on the skills behind him, so Fang Yunhan simply followed the diagrams, picked out some moves with smaller amplitudes, and started practicing them at the entrance of the cave.
After doing it a few times, I had become very proficient at it, as if a deep memory was being infused into my muscles and bones at ten times the speed.
The progress of the character template also quickly increased to 15% . However, after Fang Yunhan tried to master all the moves, the progress stopped increasing.
It seems that if I want to advance my progress by learning martial arts on my own, I can only work hard on my internal strength. However, internal strength is often what takes the most time to accumulate. It would be better to ignore this aspect for now and concentrate on spreading my reputation.
Moreover, as long as the progress increases, Tie Shou's abilities will be more superimposed on Fang Yunhan. The improvement of the moves, after being calculated by the character template, directly drives the internal strength, completely disregarding common sense in martial arts.
Therefore, in the process of increasing the progress from 3% to 15% just now, his internal strength also increased four or five times out of thin air. The warm airflow is no longer just lingering between the internal organs, but gradually spreads throughout the body, and under his conscious guidance, it slowly runs along the meridian route of the consistent magical power, which should be enough for the time being.
At this time, a low sigh came from the cave.
That was a different voice from Zhao Dapeng's. The treatment, which lasted for about an hour and a half, finally came to an end and the old man woke up.
"Master Chuan Gong, you are awake. What happened on Junshan Mountain today?" Zhao Dapeng's voice was filled with heavy breathing. He must be very tired, but the intense hatred gave him more motivation. Every word of this question was powerful.
"Are you Zhao Dapeng, the leader of the Cangzhou branch?" The elder who passed on the skills did not answer directly, but asked first, "Who is the one guarding the cave entrance?"
"Down below in Yunhan." The young man introduced himself, his eyes rolling, "People nicknamed me 'Iron Hand'."
Zhao Dapeng briefly told the elder how he met Fang Yunhan. The elder hummed and said, "My little brother is kind-hearted. I am grateful to him. But this matter is too dangerous. You have done your best to help me here. When you leave later, we will send you away."
This won't do. If you leave me alone, it won't be easy for me to encounter such a big event to become famous next time.
Fang Yunhan tapped his forehead with his fingers and said, "The person who killed the Beggars' Sect leader and the elders must be very powerful. Zhao Dapeng and I are traveling together, so we must be able to escape their eyes and ears. If any of us go alone at this time, we will definitely become their target first."
Feng Ma Niu was silent for a moment, and Zhao Dapeng nodded repeatedly. He thought that in the dark, if he just nodded, the two people next to him might not be able to see clearly, so he said , "Elder, what Brother Fang said makes sense. We can't give them the opportunity to defeat them one by one. You'd better tell us who the murderer is!"
Feng Ma Niu sighed and said, "I don't know who they are. They were all wearing gray clothes and masks. They suddenly broke into the Junshan headquarters and released a large amount of poisonous smoke and fog, injuring several elders. After that, we escaped from the poisonous area and fought with them, but found that we could not identify their identities from their martial arts."
Fang Yunhan said: "Each of them knows many kinds of martial arts, or do they use the most common moves?"
"No." Feng Ma Niu denied Fang Yunhan's guess. "They all used martial arts skills, but many of them were rare skills that had disappeared from the martial arts world for decades, and some were not martial arts from the Central Plains. If I were not an elder who taught martial arts and had read all kinds of ancient books related to martial arts, I would probably not be able to recognize them."
In other words, among the famous masters in the world today, none of them can use these skills.
But it is also possible that some murderers usually travel around the world using another kind of martial arts. It is not uncommon for real masters to be proficient in multiple martial arts.
Fang Yunhan seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "So why did these people attack the top leaders of the Beggars' Sect?"
I don’t know if it’s because he just woke up and was injured, so his mind is not clear enough, or because Fengma Niuzhen is just like Zhao Dapeng, a person with a more straightforward personality.
Anyway, when Fang Yunhan asked this, Feng Ma Niu actually told a story.
Legend has it that when Emperor Yongle seized the throne, Emperor Jianwen saw that the situation was hopeless and sent his trusted men to pretend to be him and sail overseas. In fact, he was transporting the treasures he had collected over the years and some of the wealth he had smuggled from the treasury to overseas islands. The route map was in the hands of Emperor Jianwen himself, who lived in seclusion among the people of the Central Plains, waiting for the opportunity to rise again.
Unfortunately, starting from Zhu Di, three consecutive emperors were not incompetent. Emperor Jianwen did not wait for the opportunity and died among the people. His descendants were not good enough and caused the treasure map to be lost and eventually fell into the hands of the leader of the Beggars' Sect.
"We summoned all the elders and several elite branch leaders to discuss how to deal with the treasure map. We didn't expect the news to leak out and cause this disaster."
Feng Ma Niu sighed repeatedly, "When the masked men attacked us, they shouted that if we handed over the treasure map, they would spare our lives, haha."
The old man sneered, "It's a pity that the Beggars' Sect has always been stubborn and can't bend their knees. They never sign a treaty under the city."
Fengma Niu suddenly took a deep breath and stood up.
"This should be the wild forest outside Yueyang City. Come on, I will take you to get the treasure and return to the Beggars' Sect headquarters."
Fang Yunhan suddenly said, "What I said may be a bit of a blow to morale. Although the army of the defeated will win, but the Beggars' Sect has lost a large number of masters. What will happen if it encounters a second attack?"
Fengma Niu was silent and strode out of the cave.
"In my heart, I once complained that the leader was too indecisive and did not dare to let the Beggars' Gang take over the treasure map alone. But now it seems that the leader's actions, which took into account the overall interests of the righteous path, have become a chance for survival."
"More than ten days ago, the leader sent a letter to Shaolin and Wudang, describing what happened and asking respected people to consult the treasure map. Shaolin and Wudang replied not long ago. According to the schedule, they should arrive at Junshan, Dongting today."
