Not long after Zhuang Hong came to Yongchangmen to learn martial arts knowledge, Yongchangmen became inexplicably lively.
Zhuang Hong could always find that there were people around him quietly observing him, and some men and women even pretended to pass by and greeted him 'naturally'.
After he responded politely, he immediately jumped up with excitement like a 500-pound child.
On this day, the dancing lady invited him to come to the waterside pavilion in the lake to taste tea. He keenly noticed that many pairs of eyes quickly appeared around him, frequently looking at the pavilion.
Zhuang Hong couldn't help but ask: "Dancer, what's going on with these people?"
The dancer took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "It seems that you still don't know the extent of your reputation. These people are here because of their reputation and want to see the 'Hand of God - Zhuang Hong' himself.
The news that Zhuang Hong, one of the gods, is temporarily staying at Yongchang Gate on the island in the center of the lake has spread everywhere. Every day, a large number of people come to the island in the center of the lake. I tried to stop them at first, but there were too many people. Unable to stop them, they simply let them pay and visit the island. During this period, our Yongchangmen made a lot of money.
I just don’t know if those who see you will be disappointed. After all, the image you spread outside is that you are eight feet tall, handsome, and heroic. Giggle! "
After finishing speaking, the dancer quietly looked at Zhuang Hong's face and couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling again.
If Zhuang Hong hadn't known that this woman was close to seventy years old, he would have thought she was just a woman in her early twenties...
Zhuang Hong glanced at the crowd around him and said with a smile: "Just kill the troll Gemu, it won't be like this."
Dancer: "I thought you would be very happy to hear the news, but I didn't expect the reaction to be so dull. You must know that 'number one in the world' means standing at the top of the human race, which is the pursuit of all warriors."
Zhuang Hong: "This is too absolute. I know that this is not the pursuit of warriors. And the so-called number one in the world is not my pursuit. I accidentally get something I don't need, and it will not make me overly happy."
The dancer waved her hands and said, "I really don't understand what you men are thinking. You are always pursuing something that is invisible and intangible."
She took out a small gold medal from her arms. After playing with it for a while, she handed it to Zhuang Hong and said, "This gold medal engraved with 'The Best Master in the World' was given to you by the Second Prince. It has been fulfilled." I promised at the beginning that I would grant you the title of 'The Best Master in the World' in an official name.
Now your one-of-a-kind master, Zhuang Hong, has truly established his reputation throughout the world, and no one can question his title of 'the best master in the world'. Whether you want it or not, it's yours. "
Zhuang Hong took it and checked it. The gold medal was three fingers wide and one finger thick. It was made of rich materials. The four characters "Number One in the World" were engraved on the front, and a mighty dragon and lion were engraved on the back.
Zhuang Hong said: "Logically speaking, shouldn't this be given to me personally? Why is it in your hands?"
The dancer said casually: "It is true that I should have given it to you personally, but I dismissed it casually. I snatched this gold medal from the eunuch. Moreover, the second prince also wants to invite you to his palace to award you the gold medal in person. , why didn’t I see you?”
Zhuang Hong was speechless.
Can I still win this official gold medal?
The attitude of the warriors towards the imperial court was indeed bad enough, especially the powerful warriors.
Zhuang Hong played with the gold medal for a while and threw it to the dancer: "If you like it, I will give this gold medal to you. It will be used as tuition for guiding me to learn martial arts during this period."
Zhuang Hong carried a lot of gold with him, which was enough for him to have enough food and clothing during his trip. He did not lack such a piece. Moreover, bringing too much gold would increase the pressure on him to travel through space.
The most important thing is that this 'world's best master' really has no attraction for him.
The dancer subconsciously took it and said in surprise: "Give this token to me? For tuition?"
Zhuang Hong said: "I'm serious."
Dancer: "Don't you know the meaning of this gold medal now? This is not only a gold medal, but also the supreme holy object in the martial arts world and the pinnacle of all warriors' pursuit. In this world today, only you, Zhuang Hong, are qualified. Take it."
This gold medal was officially released by the court, and coupled with Zhuang Hong's extraordinary record, it has become a symbol.
A symbol recognized by all.
This means that this gold medal has become a sacred object coveted by warriors.
The warrior who gets this gold medal will be given the title of the best master in the world.
In other words, only the truly number one master in the world deserves this gold medal.
When Zhuang Hong heard what the dancer said, he immediately turned around.
But precisely because this token has become the pinnacle of warriors' pursuit, Zhuang Hong cannot take it away.
Gold medals are a symbol of 'number one' in this world, but in his hands, they are just money to buy things...
Seeing the serious look on the dancer's face, Zhuang Hong couldn't help but smile and said: "I understand the meaning of this gold medal, but because of this, I don't want it."
"Why?"
"You also know that I am just a warrior who has just opened the overpass. I am still a long way from being a Ksitigarbha warrior. I am just an ordinary person. The reason why I can successfully kill Gemu is entirely because of my special physique. You can't do it just because of my special physique. How strong you think I am, but actually I’m not that strong…”
Zhuang Hong said, seeing the disbelief on the dancer's face, he added: "Let's put it this way, from the perspective of a warrior's realm, I am still far behind you. This gold medal is the highest thing that warriors pursue. Of course I can hold it. After all, it is gold and is worth a lot of money, but it is not suitable for the time being.
And, I have a proposal..."
"What proposal?"
"I will temporarily hand over this gold medal to your humane Yongchang Sect for safekeeping in exchange for Yongchang Sect agreeing to my two conditions."
"tell me the story."
"First, teach me a sword technique, a knife technique and a whip technique. Although my strength is strong, my fighting skills are too crude compared to yours, and I cannot take advantage of my strength, so I need to learn advanced fighting skills."
The dancer said casually: "It's easy to say, I can teach you these myself, but what about the second one?"
"The Sutra Collection Pavilion at Yongchang Gate is open for me to check, how about it?"
The dancer rubbed the gold medal in her hands and hesitated for a moment.
After all, Zhuang Hong is not a disciple of the Yongchang Sect. According to the rules, he is not allowed to consult the scriptures of the Sutra Pavilion at will. However, if this token is kept by the Yongchang Sect, the benefits are immeasurable. The most important thing is that it can sell Zhuang Hong a favor... …
After thinking for a moment, the dancer made a decision directly: "In that case, I agree. The rules are strict and the token is real. I will explain it to Senior Brother Zixiang, the leader, and I am sure he will agree."
Zhuang Hong: "Then it's settled."
In fact, Zhuang Hong had used his spatial ability to secretly consult some classics before, but doing so now just seemed more formal.
After all, he prides himself on being a good, law-abiding person.
…
The next day, Zhuang Hong took the access order given by the dancing lady and swaggered into the Sutra Pavilion.
To Zhuang Hong's surprise, the gatekeeper didn't check any access orders, and even greeted Zhuang Hong with a smile: "God's Hand, thank you!"
Then he personally took Zhuang Hong in and introduced various collections of books to Zhuang Hong.
Zhuang Hong touched his chin and said secretly: "It seems that being famous is quite effective."
There are more books in the library than you can imagine.
Moral scriptures, geography and humanities, astrology, racial studies, anecdotes, martial arts theories, human body secrets, kung fu secrets, fists, feet, swords...
There are so many different things, it’s like a treasure trove of world knowledge.
Such a place can be fully opened to Zhuang Hong, which is enough to prove that the people of Yongchang Sect attach great importance to Zhuang Hong.
However, Zhuang Hong is still a newbie to the warriors. Apart from the token, he may not be able to bring anything more to them.
Zhuang Hong thought for a while, then came to the martial arts theory area, picked out a book "From Troll Talent to Human Martial Arts" and read it carefully.
