"Who's back?"
When Lu Yuan heard the soldiers' words, he didn't react for a moment.
"It's Lord Zhou Qingzhou, your personal disciple. He's back." The soldier in front had to repeat himself.
"Xiaoqing is back."
This time Lu Yuan understood it, dropped the Taoist scriptures in his hand, and stood up with a swish. After taking two steps back and forth, he waved his hand and said, "Let him in quickly."
"yes."
The soldier looked at his general's rude appearance and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. He responded and hurried out to deliver the message.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Yuan also realized that he had slightly lost his composure.
But I can't blame him.
The disciple he had taken with him for several years finally came back. He had not seen him for more than three years. Everyone felt as excited as an old father seeing his son return home.
Lu Yuan is not an emotionless person, so it is not surprising that he behaves like this.
He sat down again, straightened his posture slightly, and assumed a majestic posture. He could not make a joke in front of his apprentice.
Zhou Qing came in quickly.
The former soldier was very sensible and did not follow me in. I gave the space to the master and the apprentice.
When Zhou Qing entered the study, the first thing he saw was the familiar figure that he thought about day and night. Then he was slightly startled, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Zhou Qing pounced, then knelt on the ground and cried: "Disciple Zhou Qing, I have met the master. I am an unfilial disciple who has failed to serve the master these years. Please be punished by the master."
Lu Yuan did not reply, but sat on a chair and looked down at the disciple he had not seen for several years.
Although his body shape has not changed much, his appearance and temperament are more mature and stable than before, and there is even a faint sense of freedom and vicissitudes of life.
What surprised him even more.
The aura on Zhou Qing's body has actually reached the second-rate level.
This disciple had been away for three years and actually made a name for himself. From being a third-rate player, he has become a second-rate master now.
The ambitious ambitions once made have now come true.
'However, although he has realized his grand promise, in order to achieve this step, Xiaoqing must have endured a lot of hardships and experienced a lot of trials and tribulations! '
Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, feeling a little distressed, and sighed: "Get up."
Zhou Qing stood up from the ground after hearing his master's words, but his face was still stained with tears and his expression was still ashamed and excited.
Lu Yuan looked at his disciple and smiled happily: "Yes, he has grown up a lot. His strength has also improved very quickly. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has already entered the second-rate level. This level of improvement is even faster than when he was a teacher. Not much different.”
When he first broke through to the second tier, he was already twenty years old.
Zhou Qing was already twenty-two years old when he left. Now, more than three years have passed, and he has broken through to the second level at the age of twenty-five. Compared with his master, he is indeed much worse.
But even so, to be able to break through the second-rate ranks at the age of twenty-five and be placed on the entire world, he must be a contemporary disciple leader of a famous sect.
"All of this is thanks to Master's teachings."
Seeing that his master did not blame him for leaving these years, Zhou Qing was slightly relieved. But when he heard the compliment, he shook his head and said sincerely: "Without the careful teachings of the master, this disciple would have been lying dead in the past few years, and how could he have achieved what he has achieved today."
Zhou Qing said this sincerely, because it is the truth.
In the past few years, he has been wandering around the world, but his martial arts skills are secondary. The behavioral methods taught by Lu Yuan, especially his steady temperament, are his greatest wealth.
This steady character has helped Zhou Qing survive countless dangers and saved him from death countless times, so that he can get all the way to where he is today.
"...In the past few years, I have encountered loyalty battles among people in the world, seeking revenge and killing, greed for money and life, rebellion and betrayal... If it hadn't been for what Master taught me before, to listen more, see more, and prepare more for everything, I would have been in trouble long ago. ." Zhou Qing talked about his experiences in the past few years, with a slightly absent-minded look on his face, as if he was immersed in the past.
After listening to this, Lu Yuan also felt emotional. He didn't expect that his disciple had experienced so much in the past three years.
But for Zhou Qing's words, while slightly agreeing with it, he still shook his head and said: "As a teacher, you only teach what you should teach. Whether you can learn these things and use them in practice depends on your personal talent. Can you learn and use them? That is your own ability and has nothing to do with being a teacher."
After finishing speaking, seeing what Zhou Qing wanted to say, Lu Yuan quickly interrupted him and changed the subject: "Xiao Qing, you are back this time, but you have to go out again?"
My apprentice has grown up.
I have been away for three years, and it is certainly a pleasure to come back and visit my teacher.
But Lu Yuan would not think that the eagle, whose wings had hardened and soared across the sky, would always stay in his parents' nest.
Those who should leave will eventually leave.
Just like Sun Siwen had a lovely wife and gave birth to a fat son two months ago, he immediately transformed into a good family man.
Now after finishing my shift every day, I run back home to be with my wife and children.
It has been a long time since Lu Yuan came to meet him.
Even Sun Siwen was like this, let alone Zhou Qing, who was a generation behind him.
'Maybe when Qing'er finds a like-minded heroine, he will travel with her and live a fairy life from then on. 'In the past two years, Lu Yuan, for some reason, has been feeling this way more and more.
"This disciple came back this time and within a short period of time, he didn't think about leaving."
Somewhat surprisingly, Zhou Qing shook his head and said: "Now that I have broken through to the second level, I plan to concentrate on training for a few years. I will first make up for my shortcomings in martial arts moves, and slowly improve and stabilize my level.
And it’s getting more and more chaotic outside.
In the past two years, the disciple has traveled to about four counties, and everything he sees is war.
Nowadays, even the first-class aristocratic sects in the martial arts world can hardly survive under these chaos. It is really too dangerous for disciples to go out rashly.
Therefore, if the Master does not give up, please let the disciples continue to serve the Master and fulfill their filial piety for the Master. "
After seeing the increasingly chaotic situation and witnessing the tragic situation of the martial arts heroes in Xichuan, Zhou Qing's stable temperament broke out.
I plan to stabilize myself first and survive this troubled times.
Anyway, he has achieved second-rate cultivation, saving more than ten years of hard training, and at the same time he has obtained top-notch first-rate magical skills.
With this condition, even if you no longer seek opportunities in the martial arts, you can still break through to the top level after struggling for twenty years.
At that time, at the age of early forties, it would not be too late to seek revenge from the Iron Sword Sect.
"Of course I'm happy that you can stay with me as my teacher."
The apprentice wanted to stay, so Lu Yuan certainly had no reason to refuse, and said with a smile: "Now the division is recruiting troops on a large scale, and has already recruited tens of thousands of troops. But with so many people, management is really troublesome.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of talents in the army, and there are no second-rate masters. There is always a shortage of several captains.
Now that you are back, it would be a good time to help the teacher. First go to the army and become a captain, in charge of 2,500 people.
When your foundation is more stable, I will promote you to deputy general, but I will leave all the affairs in the military camp to you. "
Dealing with military affairs these days has seriously encroached on Lu Yuan's time for martial arts training and rest.
But he couldn't find anyone he could trust to act as his deputy and help handle military affairs.
Therefore, no matter how distressed you are, you can only grit your teeth and bear it.
Now Zhou Qing is back, which just solves his urgent need.
His own disciple is also a second-rate master. Regardless of trust or strength, being a deputy general is more than enough.
"Yes, disciple, accept the order."
Zhou Qing bowed and did not dare to refuse.
Although he, like Lu Yuan, had no interest in being an official, the teacher had given orders, so how could a disciple disobey them?
And now he can share the teacher's worries, which makes Zhou Qing, who has returned from several years away, actually feel a little happy in his heart.
There is a sense of satisfaction that I have not been abandoned, but still needed.
After recounting his experiences over the years, talking about business matters, and accepting his orders, Zhou Qing finally remembered the gift he had originally prepared for his teacher.
"Master, I have been unable to fulfill my filial piety during these years. When I came back this time, I specially prepared a gift for Master as compensation for my guilt."
Zhou Qing said this, bowed, and then took out the original copy of the Chiyang Magic Technique from his arms and handed it to him respectfully: "This is a copy of the technique that the disciple got in Xichuan County a few days ago.
The name of this skill is Chiyang Divine Skill, which is a family-inherited magical skill of the Guo family in Yuzhong, Xichuan County. It can be practiced to the six extraordinary sutras, and also includes the corresponding three sets of finger, palm, and sword moves. It is the most superior first-class skill.
The disciple knows that the master has been troubled over the years by not having the Iron Sword Sword Technique that matches the Heart Sutra of Buxing Qi.
Therefore, after I obtained this skill, I always thought about dedicating it to Master. "
Zhou Qing introduced the origin of the exercise.
Lu Yuan took the secret book and was a little confused after listening to his apprentice's introduction.
What's going on?
He was already prepared and planned to go to various places in Dongting County to snatch the skills after practicing the 15,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
Why didn't he start taking action? His apprentice sent him a set of magical skills that were more advanced than the ones he wanted to steal.
With a strong sense of dreaminess, Lu Yuan quickly opened the Chiyang Divine Art, quickly browsed the contents above, and flipped through it roughly.
He confirmed.
This is indeed a first-class technique, the most superior one.
The meridians' running routes recorded in it, as well as three sets of martial arts moves that work with the movement of internal energy, are all considered to be excellent.
Even just talking about internal skills and mental methods, Chi Yang Sheng Gong is several levels superior to Qi Bu Qi Heart Sutra.
Some of the meridian running routes and techniques are described in both exercises. The plan given by Chiyang Shengong is stronger than the Qi-Building Heart Meridian.
These strengths are reflected in the quality and intensity of the internal force developed, the efficiency during practice, the speed of return of breath after the internal force is exhausted, and the skills matching the martial arts moves, etc.
'If we were to rate all the first-class mental methods, the Qi-Building Heart Sutra is pretty good among the exercises, with a score of about eighty-five. But this Chiyang Divine Art is undoubtedly higher, it can score more than ninety-five points, approaching the perfect score. '
Lu Yuan thought like this, and his heart was already filled with great joy.
What he has been thinking about day and night, success is right in front of him. For him who has been planning for several years, how could he not be happy?
However, despite being overjoyed, Lu Yuan looked at his disciple and asked: "This technique is undoubtedly the best in the world. Do you think it is the family-inherited magic technique of the Guo family in Yuzhong?"
I have also heard of the Guo family in Yuzhong. It is said that they are the best family in Western Shu. In terms of basic strength, if you look at the entire Dai Viet world, it can also be ranked among the top ten in the world.
How could the skills of such a famous martial arts family fall into your hands? "
Nowadays, in the martial arts world of Dayue, excluding the remaining four innate masters owned by the imperial court. In the arena, there are only seven families that clearly have innate masters.
The first among them was naturally the first Xiantian Grandmaster Lu Yuan had ever heard of, Yin Huixuan of the Liuyang Sect in Yuzhang County.
It is said that this person is a master of the second level of Xiantian. His strength is stronger than Wu Anhou Bai Mengyang, and he is one of the top three masters in Dai Viet.
Then Nanhai County, Jian'an County, Guangling County, and Linhai County each also have an innate grandmaster. But they are only the first level and belong to the weaker level.
The above five innate masters are the original top experts in the world of Dayue.
But in the past two years, Li Xiong, the false emperor of Western Shu, and Lan Cai'er, the saint of the Five Poison Sect, have also achieved innate breakthroughs one after another.
Therefore, the number of sects with innate power in the world has increased to seven.
Before the Guo family in Yuzhong was exterminated, there were three first-class masters in Zhuzhong who had made a name for themselves. In addition, their family's Chiyang magic skills were also the top first-class mental skills.
With this strength, ranking among the top ten in the world is no exaggeration.
Of course, if you count those in the imperial court, they also inherited peerless martial arts. The Yuzhong Guo family will definitely not be ranked in the top ten, so it can only be ranked in the twenty, and the position will be lower.
However, the imperial court and the Jianghu have always been two systems.
When talking about various rankings in the world, basically the imperial court will not be involved.
"This skill was created by the disciple a few months ago..." After hearing the master's question, Zhou Qing did not dare to hide it, so he told all about his experience of following Guo Yunshan in Xichuan to search for the family treasure.
In the end, he even couldn't help but conclude: "After Guo Yunshan obtained the family treasure and was promoted to the second rank, he broke his previous promise to share the treasure, put his disciples aside, and wanted to embezzle the treasure.
This dishonest and unrighteous act completely forgot the disciple's kindness in the past few months, when he risked his life to rescue him dozens of times and shared the crisis.
Now that I didn't take away his divine blood variant, I only took away his family's martial arts, which is already the most benevolent and righteous thing to do. "
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, then smiled and said: "Breaking trust and breaking promises is indeed disgraceful. Qing'er, you risked your life and death to escort him to open the treasure. In the end, you encountered this, and you can hold back and not fall out. It's already very good." .
Nowadays, other family-inherited techniques can be considered as recovering some interest.
But according to what you said, Qing'er, Guo Yunshan became so frivolous after he became successful. I'm afraid that even if I take the family treasure, I won't be proud for long.
At this time, they might have been attacked and destroyed by the Qiang thieves from Western Shu. "
Zhou Qing thought of the Western Shu army he saw in Linjiang Mansion when he left, and couldn't help but nodded: "Maybe so."
But even though he could guess this ending, he didn't have any troubles.
When Guo Yunshan decided to go it alone, the two parties had already broken off their grudges and started to quarrel with each other.
Now that the other party is in trouble, and I feel sorry for myself, I just go and step on him, even if I am fine, what else can I expect?
Sympathy?
Zhou Qing's kindness is not so cheap.
…
The disciple came back and brought with him top-notch first-class skills.
For Lu Yuan, this was simply the happiest thing in the past few years.
So that night, he ordered the entire army to retreat.
Suddenly, the exhausted soldiers, who had been training hard for several months, cheered loudly.
Everyone was shouting for the general's kindness.
Later, someone spread the word about the reason for the big ban, and the sergeants began to feel grateful to Zhou Qing again.
In this way, although he has not officially taken office, Zhou Qing, the captain, has a good impression in the hearts of the sergeants.
Of course, some people were jealous that he could be promoted to the rank of Sixth Grade Colonel without even making any merit. But due to Lu Yuan's majesty, no one dared to speak out about these jealousies.
However, neither Lu Yuan nor Zhou Qing paid much attention to these troubles.
With Zhou Qing's second-rate strength and the fact that the military always obeys the strong, it is not easy to win over the military's morale.
Just showing absolute strength and giving majestic rewards is enough to make the soldiers admire them.
After Zhou Qing took office quickly the next day, it only took him more than ten days to establish his majesty in the military and establish a firm foothold.
And after seeing his strength, all the secret voices disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yuan was also able to have a truly trustworthy helper within the army.
So after he took care of the army for a while and saw that Zhou Qing was doing well, he took over as the boss and quickly promoted his disciple to the position of deputy general again, taking full responsibility for all military affairs.
He himself, after putting aside his secular affairs, began to concentrate on practicing Qigong.
Now that there are better and more complete top skills, for Lu Yuan, there is no need to continue practicing the Qi-Building Heart Sutra, which was originally incomplete and only had one mental method.
Even with such a first-rate mental technique, he would actually be able to master the last meridian in another two or three months of practice.
But even if he mastered the last meridian, it would not mean much to Lu Yuan.
After all, you will have to switch to another major in the end, so why waste time pursuing an incomplete and perfect book?
Therefore, after acquiring the Chiyang Divine Kung Fu, Lu Yuan immediately put aside practicing Kung Fu and studying Taoist scriptures, and instead devoted all his time to comprehending this Kung Fu.
After studying this way for the past few months, I finally gained a lot, and now I can try to change my studies.
With his more than ten years of experience in practicing martial arts, coupled with the Chiyang Divine Kung Fu, he also created the technique based on Taoist concepts. Naturally, there will be no problems if he switches to this technique.
It took less than ten days of practice to complete the transformation of a meridian.
According to this progress, it would only take half a year for Lu Yuan to convert all the fifteen meridians he had mastered into Chiyang Divine Art.
It's amazingly fast.
