In addition to the initial training with auxiliary tools such as disguise, medicine, and secret codes, Han Wuyue arranged more systematic training on endurance and skills for Jiang Yichen, including hidden weapons, light kung fu, and body camouflage. , Willpower training, timing of attacks, familiarity with human body structure, etc.
Jiang Yichen was not vague about these trainings. He studied and trained very hard, but the results were not satisfactory.
Flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, and vegetation, bamboo and rocks can be used as swords. Such hidden weapon techniques are still far away from him.
He has not yet been able to appreciate the graceful movement of flying among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf touching his body.
Although Jiang Yichen's willpower was pretty good, and he could grit his teeth and support himself for a long time in the harsh conditions of an extremely cold chamber or a thousand-foot waterfall, but his body was still a little weak, and he almost fainted several times during this period. It caused the old disease in the body again. Fortunately, Han Wuyue knew Jiang Yichen's temperament well and secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him and rescue him when he couldn't bear it anymore. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The puppet dummy Jiang Yichen had already been exposed to a lot when he was learning acupuncture and acupuncture on Xishan Island. However, when it was used as a dummy to practice the one-hit assassination technique, Jiang Yichen still felt sad and would still have trouble with his attacks. Due to hesitation, the movements are slightly slow, but these flaws are extremely fatal flaws in the real tit-for-tat confrontation. Fortunately, Han Wuyue only prepared dummies. If human corpses were used as Jiang Yichen's training props, Jiang Yichen would probably waste a lot of time grieving and struggling with himself.
Although the previous test of murder and beheading had already laid the foundation in Jiang Yichen's mind, Han Wuyue understood that the path to advancement for a real killer could only be done step by step and could not be encouraged. What's more, the old man's previous arrangements were more to pry this young man apart. That door in my heart that shouldn't have been opened or shouldn't have existed, that door of killing filled with the smell of blood.
The days of training were by no means boring, and Jiang Yichen enjoyed it even more. He finally had time to stop and admire the flowers, and also used it to practice adjusting his breathing rhythm. During this period, Murong Jing even came to see him several times, but failed to exchange a few words with him and left in a hurry.
On this day, Jiang Yichen was summoned to Taoran Pavilion by his old uncle, finally breaking this unchanging rhythm.
"Wudang?" When Jiang Yichen heard that his old man wanted him to go to Wudang, his clear eyes shone brightly in the blink of an eye. Although he lived a comfortable life on the island and could not hear what was going on outside the window, for this famous sect that was already famous far and wide, Young hearts are naturally yearning for it.
In the past, Wudang and Shaolin were the leaders in the world of righteousness. Wudang's unique Tai Chi skill, which uses softness to overcome hardness and the ability to move a thousand pounds with four ounces, was even more famous throughout the world, making many arrogant and self-proclaimed heroes bow down.
"Yes, there are three purposes for this trip."
"Recently, the imperial court has been blatantly searching for martial arts in the martial arts world, which has made everyone in the martial arts world panic. It must be that the imperial court wants to take advantage of the situation and take action to suppress the martial arts people in the martial arts world. This time I heard that several Jin Yiwei will go there. Wudang should be aiming at Wudang's Tai Chi swordsmanship. Nowadays, the old Taoist priests in Wudang are hiding in a corner, shrinking back and ignoring the worldly affairs. This time, they are approached by the court, but don't do it. You are helping the emperor to do evil. Go and find out the purpose of Jin Yiwei's trip and the tone of the old Taoist priests in Wudang. This is one of them."
"Secondly, it is related to your situation. The Daoyi Alliance is so big that it is difficult to find the internal strength you need now. Master Xuchen of Wudang has a close personal relationship with me. I have written a letter. Please take it with you to see him. Is there a way to resolve your situation.”
"Third, for my personal affairs, Cheng Yin from Taiji Village has an old relationship with me, and Mr. Weng Zhenhuai and I have been friends for many years. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them very much. Please go and see them for me." Are you okay?" the old man said.
"Yes." When he heard the second point, an imperceptible light flashed in Jiang Yichen's eyes. He didn't wait much longer after the old man finished speaking. After accepting the order, he left to make preparations.
The loss of internal energy that the old man mentioned is indeed Jiang Yichen's biggest heart problem today. Jiang Yichen suffered from tuberculosis when he was young. Although Yinniang has been treating him well for more than ten years, his Dantian in his body is like a bottomless pit. Existence, if the inner energy condensed in the Dantian is not used in a moment, it cannot last forever, let alone be used at any time. In this way, the common internal skills and the supreme internal skills that can be found in the entire Daoyi Alliance are like useless books to Jiang Yichen. Even if Jiang Yichen practices it, it is like a mud cow sinking into the sea, unable to precipitate the internal energy and turn it into something. For personal use.
The lack of internal strength is what Jiang Yichen lacks compared to ordinary people in the world, and it is also what separates him from ordinary masters. For others, the most basic function of practicing internal energy is to strengthen the body. Actively operating internal energy can be used to protect one's body. Naturally, the ability to resist attacks will be much stronger. If the practice of internal strength is successful and the sea of qi in the Dantian is deep enough, it can be used to extend the energy, replenish the spirit, make up for physical deficiencies, etc. It can be said that the deep-seated effect of practicing internal strength is to repair what is lacking in a person. And if you practice internal strength to the state of perfection, you can improve in all aspects. Even flying flowers and picking leaves can hurt people, and plants, trees, bamboos and rocks can be used as swords.
Wudang was a long way from Jiangning. Jiang Yichen and the long-lost little brown horse were on the road again. It took them more than ten days to reach Wudang area.
Jiang Yichen estimated that the time for Jinyiwei to arrive in Wudang was very short, so he did not dare to delay now. As soon as he arrived in Wudang, he went straight to the gate of Wudang Mountain.
There was a huge sword stone standing outside the mountain gate, with the words "Unload the Sword" written on it. Although no one was guarding it, out of respect and respect for Wudang, Jiang Yichen turned back and first removed the little brown horse, bamboo sword, etc. All the things were stored at the inn at the foot of the mountain, and we just walked to the top of the mountain.
Flying immortals in the sky, towering immortal voices, flying waterfalls, and stone arches in the case palace were all the sights that Jiang Yichen thought he should see after going to Wudang Mountain, but he could not see any of them. Although various sects have declined in recent years, Wudang especially , but such an ordinary scene that has lost all its immortality is too different from the image in my mind.
There is a worship hall on the mountainside. So far up the mountain, Jiang Yichen has not met a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist uniform, and the people who come to worship, make wishes, and fulfill their wishes are only in twos and threes. After passing the worship hall and going inside, there are even fewer people. , it’s hard to find anyone.
Jiang Yichen couldn't help but frown, feeling that everything was too weird, and he immediately became suspicious.
Although Wudang has declined, it was once a powerful sect, so how could it be so sparsely populated?
Suddenly, he saw a little Taoist boy in white running from the front with his brows knitted into a ball. Seeing that the little Taoist boy was about to run past, Jiang Yichen hurriedly stopped him.
"I'm sorry, little master. What's the big deal on the mountain? Why is life so sparse?" Jiang Yichen bowed and saluted.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, there may be some unrest on the mountain. If nothing happens, you should hurry down the mountain." Although the little Taoist boy was very anxious, he was still respectful and polite.
"Oh, young master, I'm here to look for an old friend from Wudang on the orders of my master. I wonder if it's convenient for me to tell you where the real Xuchen is?" Jiang Yichen also asked politely.
"Fellow Taoist is actually here for my great uncle. To be honest with you, Xiaodao is going to find my great uncle in the main hall to solve the crisis of our sect." Xiaodao Tong saw that the young man in front of him actually knew Master Xuchen, No more hiding it now.
"Dangerous situation?" Jiang Yichen was confused.
"It's too late to go into details. I have to go find the Grand Master. Fellow Taoist, please help yourself." Although he came here for his Grand Master, the situation in the family was urgent. Being delayed by Jiang Yichen, the little Taoist boy was still anxious. He jumped up on his feet, and after saying that, he was about to lift up his feet and leave.
Seeing this, Jiang Yichen picked up the little Taoist boy, used Qinggong in the direction the little Taoist boy wanted to go, and flew out.
"I'm offended. Since I'm related to Wudang, you should help Wudang when it's in trouble. The young master will show you the way, and I'll take you to find Master Xuchen." Jiang Yichen said.
"That way, that way." The little Taoist boy stopped being polite to Jiang Yichen and started to give directions.
In this way, the two of them ran along the stone steps of the mountain road, twisting and turning several times, and finally came to a side hall before Jiang Yichen felt that his strength was unsustainable. The name of the side hall was "Sanqing". This hall was not much bigger than the worship hall. The lack of incense smell only made the place dilapidated. There was an incense burner in front of the hall. The incense ash inside had turned dark and dark, but three new incense sticks, half of which had been burnt, stood alone in it.
"Uncle Taishi, uncle Taishi, something bad is going to happen." The little Taoist boy's shout stopped Jiang Yichen from looking at the Sanqing Hall, and made Jiang Yichen secretly frightened. If he hadn't seen the little Taoist boy shouting over there, he would have I really didn't notice the person standing over there.
This man with crane hair and white robes showed off his spiritual demeanor. He was standing aside cleaning the bluestone platform without making a single sound. This expert must be the Master Xu Chen.
"Xuankong, don't panic, speak slowly." Master Xuchen did not stick to etiquette. He just nodded and greeted Jiang Yichen, and then asked the little Taoist boy directly.
"The imperial court, someone from the imperial court is here. The Jin Yiwei came to my sect to ask for the secret book of Tai Chi Swordsmanship from the head master uncle. The master master uncle and other master uncles refused, and at this time they were fighting in the Hall of Taihe..."
