Jiang Wen and the others were walking back from Xiamei Town, and the lead-colored clouds above their heads reluctantly followed them. When they turned around the Jiuqu River, they no longer wanted to follow, and finally turned into cold rain falling all over the sky. , flying freely in the empty valley.
Fortunately, not far away, there is a simple roadside teahouse, with a tea tree fluttering in the wind and the four official characters of "山水香茶" written on it.
The four masters and apprentices hid in their own business in embarrassment, wiping the rain off their bodies. Lao Ye, who was in charge of looking after the teahouse, also brewed four cups of hot tea and served them in front of them to dispel the cold.
"This rain won't stop for a while."
Lao Ye sighed.
There were three or two broken tea leaves floating in the light tea soup on the table, and a wisp of light smoke rose from the cups and bowls. Even a little rough breath could make it invisible and vague.
At this time, in addition to the four Jiang Wen people, there were several martial arts people at another table taking shelter from the rain.
The few people whispered and ignored outsiders, looking around cautiously from time to time. They also deliberately chose a table on the outside to sit on, with their swords placed not far from their respective hands.
"Master, I'm hungry..."
Fu Ningdie pointed to her belly, and then pointed to the taro and yam cooking on the steamer. She tried her best to act cute and cute, sitting on the bench with her feet out of reach.
Jiang Wen was playing with the rough porcelain tea bowl in his hand, and just now he was staring at the tea cup distractedly.
"Why are you hungry again? Today we have one meal at Hongbinlou and another at Fang's house. Are you hungry before we get home?"
Is raising a child so expensive? !
She complained, but because she had been well-behaved and sensible recently, Jiang Wen let Lao Ye take her to pick out what she liked.
In fact, it can be seen from the details of the meal just now that Ningdie is still far behind the two senior brothers - not the gap in martial arts, moral character, and understanding, but the gap in the habits of traveling in the world.
For example, when we were eating just now, Hong Wending made precise moves and chewed quickly, and was able to eat most of the meal without making a sound. This is in line with the self-requirements of people in the world who have no need to eat and live in peace, ensuring that they can take action or run at any time. road.
Although Xiao Shitou is not so skilled, he always pays attention to eating thoroughly. No matter what dish is in his mouth, it will be gone. After a full meal, he will not be hungry all day long. In this way, you can maintain sufficient physical strength even if you are exposed to wind and snow on the rivers and lakes.
Only the wealthy family in Ningdie have not changed their habits. They still like to pick and choose, chew slowly, and will never touch dishes that do not suit their taste after one bite. Jiang Wen once made an outrageous comment about women not being suitable for the world, and he looked at the problem from these perspectives.
"Ningdie, come here after picking up your food. Master will give you lessons."
Surrounded by a wooden tea table, Jiang Wen simply started chatting with his three apprentices in the tea room as the rain and mountain rain continued to fall without stopping.
"You must be prepared for this trip."
Jiang Wen said a little seriously.
In this era, walking from Chong'an County to Fuzhou City is not a trivial matter. Along the way, you may encounter bandits, refugees, mountain disasters and floods, and there is no accurate map positioning or route calibration. You can only rely on experience to travel day and night and slowly map it out.
The official road in front of us from Wuyi Mountain to Fuzhou was originally called "Fenshuiguan Road" and was the earliest road opened from the Central Plains to Fujian.
According to historical records, Qin Shihuang sent five armies to expedition to South Vietnam. Among them was the "Yu Ganzhi Shui", which may refer to this road, which was used to detour to Lingnan.
Later, in the sixth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the King of Minyue raised troops in South Vietnam, and South Vietnam asked the Han for help. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wang Hui, a great general, from Jiangxi, and Han Anguo, a great farmer, from Zhejiang to attack the King of Minyue and opened the Fenshuiguan Road.
However, these ancient roads into Fujian originally started from Jiangxi, which was developed earlier. They intersected along mountain roads and water courses, and were used to transport bamboo and paper tea. They stopped abruptly when they reached Wuyi Mountain. It was not until the year of the Jingkang Rebellion that the real trade route to Fujian and the sea came into being.
Hong Wending nodded silently.
Traveling around the world is nothing new to him, but precisely because of this, he has never found it easy.
Fu Ningdie asked confusedly: "Master, are we really going to travel in the world? I heard Sister Hongdou and my mother-in-law said that to travel in the world, you need to be as good at martial arts as they do."
Jiang Wen sighed, she was indeed a female liar traveling in the world.
"This is true and false. Especially the second half of the sentence, you can pretend you didn't hear it, just because of their martial arts..."
It's not that Jiang Wen looks down on others. Both of their martial arts are ridiculously sloppy, and even Wen Ding may not be able to defeat them in a head-on fight.
However, the first half of the sentence makes sense. If the three apprentices want to gain a foothold in the world, they must be as cunning as they are, and even do so by any means necessary.
For three children who are all under ten years old, such a request may be a bit too high, but for a person who is destined to be a member of the world, the world will not give kind and preferential treatment just because he is young.
In Jin Yong's Jianghu, Jiang Wen initially looked down upon the people surrounded by the protagonist's aura, thinking that they were just lucky and talented.
But when he actually fought side by side with Zhang Wuji, he discovered that he was not only an indecisive harem man, but also a man who could travel thousands of miles at the age of fourteen and sent the eight-year-old Yang Buhui from the Huai River to Tianshan. ruthless person.
He also learned the Nine Yang Magic Skill from Zhang Wuji at this time.
"Ningdie, you are already quite good at the Swallow Lingyan Step. Continue to practice the Nine Yang Divine Skill that master taught you. When you develop a sense of Qi in your Dantian, I will teach you a deeper level of martial arts."
Since she was able to visualize the rising sun in Zhizhi'an, it meant that she still had some talent in one area of internal energy, and she might be able to gain something by specializing in one area.
Since ancient times, he has been biting off more than he can chew. Considering Fu Ningdie's qualifications, practicing too many martial arts is not a good thing. This simplified version of the "Nine Yang Manual" cannot be said to be pseudo-study, but it lacks a hint of true meaning. For example, relying on a master of kung fu like him to pass on the energy and transfer the energy, he can also summon the rising sun in the Dantian to go to the sea, and the five energy Chaoyuan.
Getting started with the breathing method is a new idea that Jiang Wen used to dismantle and analyze the "Nine Yang Manual" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
This mental method can rely on hard work, or you can take shortcuts. Especially this shortcut was deliberately left by the wine-fighting monk when he created it, which shows that relying on external forces is not a crooked way.
For example, when you reach the final level of practicing the "Nine-Yang Manual", you must endure the pain of hotness and irritation all over the body, or get the guidance of a famous teacher to open up hundreds of acupuncture points all over the body, and then you can truly practice the "Nine-Yang Magic Skill". Otherwise, the internal energy of the Nine Yangs will only be accumulated, but will not be used. The internal energy will not circulate endlessly, and it will easily lead to death due to excessive discouragement after a fierce battle.
Zhang Wuji also relied on external force to puncture the acupuncture points in Budai Monk's Qiankun Yi Qi bag, and then he broke through dozens of mysteries on his body in an instant, completing the Nine Yang Divine Art.
"Master will protect you at critical moments. There should be no danger of going crazy with this skill."
Jiang Wen touched his chin and said, "You shouldn't grow a beard or Adam's apple... Master will teach you a self-defense skill on the way. What do you want to learn?"
Fu Ningdie said without hesitation.
"I want to learn concealed weapons!"
Fighting and killing are not her preference. Qinggong and hidden weapons are the combination she has favored for a long time. At least she doesn't have to practice hard every day like Hong Wending, nor does she have to soak in medicinal baths day and night like Xiao Shitou, and the skin on her body will be damaged. It's about to change color.
"Why are hidden weapons so easy to learn? You see, your sister Hongdou hasn't even mastered them yet."
Zhu Xiaoqian is known as the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, but Hongdou, as her biological daughter, only uses fists and feet to capture her, because hidden weapons require years and years of hard work.
Although there are many types of darts in ancient times, they are mainly divided into "jin dart" and "liang dart".
The "jin dart" is similar to the head of a spear and weighs more than a kilogram. Later, it was rumored to be the "golden dart". In fact, it was because of its heavy weight that it would cause death or injury.
The "two darts" are much lighter. Because of their limited weight, the "two darts" are not very lethal and can only be enhanced by adding poison.
It might be a bit difficult for Ningdie to throw a dart weighing one pound.
"Then I will pass on the "Jade Bee Needle" to you and make three special Jade Bee Needles for you. This martial arts can only be used to save your life. Once the hidden weapons are used up, you will run away. Do you understand?"
