After drinking for a while, the two teenagers, who were just in their teens, obviously couldn't hold on any longer. They were not usually good drinkers and were quite safe in everything they did. They also understood that drunkenness could cause trouble. However, during this period, the two still had a hearty chat. Tianjihong also learned a lot of secrets of the martial arts world that he could not usually come into contact with in Donglin Village from Bai Qian's mouth. I have a general idea of the power.
According to Bai Qian, the Bai family has lived in the Baijia Fort in the southeast of Dongsheng Town. Baijiabao is located in the East Sea. It is the peninsula that extends farthest eastward in the Seibu continent except for the Zirijiang area. Even the east seaport to the north is not as wide as the view. It can be said to be a bird's eye view. It is a strategic location facing the sea in the distance to the east. In addition, it is surrounded by mountains, and can only be entered through a straight avenue on the west side that is firmly controlled by the Bai family guards. It is definitely an excellent area that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and one man can control it.
Therefore, the Bai family has been baptized by war since ancient times. Whether it is the Black Dragon Society in the Tianling area not far to the south, the Shigure Sect, which is known as the strongest sect on the mainland, or even the Tianming Martial Palace on the other side of the continent, which always covets the land of Seibu Continent, they are all interested in this. Baijiabao coveted it and wanted to keep it in his pocket. According to Bai Qian, these forces have developed many supporters and insiders within their clan. If it weren't for the various overt and covert conflicts among the several forces, I am afraid that the leadership of the family would have been handed over to his grandfather long ago. Got out.
Hearing such words, Tian Jihong couldn't help but feel a little sad. Who would have thought that such a large ancient martial arts family had repeatedly resisted foreign enemies for thousands of years and faced life and death crises again and again, only to eventually fall due to division and betrayal within the family. In addition, Tianjihong naturally also asked for some information about the Shigu Sect. It is a pity that even Bai Qian, the young master of the Bai family, knows very little about this mysterious first sect in the martial arts world. He can only tell himself some widely circulated information about the Shigu Sect in the martial arts world. .
According to what he said, the Shigure Sect has established its dominance in the Seibu Continent in just a few years since Gu Qingxiao established it decades ago, and its strength is unfathomable. In the sect, from the sect leader Gu Qingxiao down, the four elders Yun, Feng, Lei, and Yu are all famous for their terrifying strength in the martial arts world. If any one of them is placed in the Xiwu Continent, they are enough to sweep away an ordinary sect; among the four of them, In addition, the Shigure Sect also has dozens of ordinary elders and more than a hundred inner sect deacons, all of whom can be regarded as top masters in the martial arts world. On weekdays, these people lead teams to go to various places to deal with those under the influence of the Shigure Sect. many matters.
The strength of the younger generation under his sect should not be underestimated. Most of the people he defeated by luck today were direct disciples of an ordinary elder, but their status in the Shigure Sect was no more than that. Each of the dozens of elders in his sect trains several direct successors; there are at least hundreds of people like him in the Shigure Sect, and they only have the qualifications to compete for the Shigure Sect's true successors. There are never more than ten true disciples in the Shigure Sect, and they all have unparalleled cultivation talents and powerful strength far beyond their peers; under the personal training of the four elders, they In the future, they will all be able to steadily occupy the position of elder within the sect.
As for the strength of the four elders and above Gu Qingxiao, Bai Qian had no idea. In fact, there were only a few people in the martial arts world who were lucky enough to see the true strength of these legendary figures. Bai Qian only heard that in the wars waged by the Shiyu Sect, the four elders were always invincible. They were invincible wherever they went and could not find an enemy with ten moves; and Gu Qingxiao was even more so. It has been decades since he took action, and probably no one in the world knows what level of cultivation he has reached. On top of these four elders, there was a deputy sect leader in the Shigure Sect. He was once a famous and powerful figure. At that time, everyone in the martial arts world recognized that he would definitely be the successor of Gu Qingxiao. But now this person has disappeared for nearly ten years, so many people speculate that he was probably killed in the battle with Tianmingwu Mansion that year, or was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.
The more Tianjihong heard what Bai Qian said, the more frightened he became. It's no wonder that when he heard that his enemy had such a terrifying background and that no one even knew all his methods, the pressure in Tianjihong's heart naturally went without saying. In the next half hour, Tianjihong then asked Bai Qian for some other information and asked about the method of practice. But this time, Bai Qian couldn't help much; it wasn't that he was hiding something, but that the method of practice must be consistent with the formulas, and only by unremitting efforts in the future can we continue to make progress; in just ten years, Within a few minutes, Bai Qian could not directly help Tianjihong cultivate spiritual power, nor could he impart the internal secrets of the Bai family without permission. Therefore, he only briefly told Tianjihong some bottlenecks and techniques that would be encountered in cultivation.
Seeing that it was almost time to part ways, the two of them had a detailed conversation and felt like they had met their soul mates by chance. At this time, they couldn't help but feel a little sad. After saying goodbye this time, they didn't know when they would be able to see each other again in the future. Tianjihong declined Bai Qian's offer of a large sum of money to support him. In his heart, he still hoped to rely on his own efforts to fight for opportunities as taught by his father in the letter. Today, Bai Qian is willing to share so much useful information. I don't want to accept such charity anymore. However, under the other party's sincere invitation, he agreed without hesitation. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely go to Baijiapu to have a drink with Bai Qian again.
After some pleasantries, Tianjihong reluctantly said goodbye to Bai Qian and set off on his way home. Bai Qian, who was one step behind, was still looking in the direction of Tianjihong's long-disappeared back with interest. He didn't seem to notice that the time he had agreed to meet everyone had passed, and he murmured: "Tianjihong... is such an interesting person, but why is this name so familiar, Tianji..." After a while, his eyes suddenly condensed, "Wait a minute! I remember the man who was so powerful in the martial arts world more than ten years ago, and he and his wife It seems that the sword king who defeated the Shigure Sect's killing array on the top of the Shigure Mountain and defeated the Shigure Sect's deputy sect leader and elders was named... Tenji Rin? Could it be that this Tenji Hong is...?"
The long journey home gradually extinguished Tianji Honggang and Bai Qian's interest in changing cups. Today, he has experienced various eye-opening scenes during this day, and his thoughts have traveled to all directions in the martial arts world; but now that he has returned to reality, he has no choice but to find that the problem in front of him has not been solved, and he still has no Find a suitable way to start practicing. Now that he doesn't have enough money on hand, the previous plan, whether it was to find another martial arts school to become a disciple, or to seek help from other monks to open the storage sachet, was not considered a proper solution in Tianjihong's opinion. But now he couldn't think of a better idea, so he had to go home and discuss it with his brother before making a decision. At this moment, he really felt some regret in his heart. At that time, he refused Bai Qian's kindness out of face in the tavern. It was impossible to say that he didn't envy those children of aristocratic families who were born with fine clothes and no worries about food and clothing. Even Bai Qian The young master of such a declining aristocratic family is still rich and has never worried about money at all.
After nearly two hours of journey, Tian Jihong, who was exhausted, finally stepped into Donglin Village at dusk. At this moment, he just wanted to go home and reunite with his brother, and did not plan to stay too long in the village; but at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the familiar figure he saw next to the inn yesterday was now Standing in the same position again. Today, he seemed to have just finished practicing. He was wiping away the sweat and putting the sword in his hand back into its scabbard, preparing to turn back and walk towards the inn.
"Senior, please wait!" How could Tianjihong let go of such an opportunity again. The fierce and powerful swordsmanship that this person used during his practice yesterday was a feast for the eyes of Tianjihong. At that time, he had already had the idea of getting acquainted with him, but he was forced to rush home at that time to open the things left by his parents. The opportunity was missed; today, he was so lucky that Tian Jihong met this person here again. This time, he decided to step forward and give it a try.
The practitioner stopped, apparently hearing Tianjihong's cry. After getting closer, Tianjihong finally saw the whole face of this person: This guy looked quite strong and tall, even bigger than the already burly Uncle Shanda; the strong muscles between his arms were uneven. , layers of calluses can be faintly seen between the broad palms, and one can tell at a glance that he is practicing the most powerful martial arts on weekdays; judging from his face, this man looks middle-aged, about forty or fifty years old. His cheeks are sharply angular, his eyes are calm and intimidating, and he has short, lean black hair. He looks very energetic. It is different from Mo Sheng, who is a farmer. Although this person is exposed to the sun for a long time every day to practice, his skin is not as dark and rough as Mo Sheng. It only shows a very light bronze color. It can even be said that He is quite fair, presumably because as a monk, he can use his spiritual power to resist the burning of the sun.
"Little guy, were you calling me just now?" Looking at Tian Jihong who was walking quickly towards him, this person was also a little confused.
"Yes, I'm sorry to disturb your time. I came to see you because yesterday I saw you, senior, practicing martial arts hard in the village despite the scorching heat. I admire your perseverance and persistence. I guess You must be a powerful practitioner. I came here today because I want to get to know my senior, and if possible, I would like to become your teacher and learn how to practice!" Tian Jihong said with some excitement, and directly made it clear to him The purpose of coming.
