"Senior Brother He, I just heard what Senior Liang and the others said just now that the big devil Lu Xinglie is a fifth-level master.
I just want to ask, what does the fifth level mean? "
Yang Jin originally wanted to stop He Mingxiu and find any reason to persuade him to prevent him from destroying the temple with her so quickly.
Because the things in the ruined temple were really inappropriate for He Mingxiu to participate in, which was why he refused He Mingxiu's company just now.
However, the few words He Mingxiu said just now made Yang Jin realize that He Mingxiu seemed to be just a novice who had just started walking in the world.
Not only does he have little experience in martial arts, he also seems to have a thin skin.
It also relates to what Zhao Qing said yesterday about He Mingxiu’s character: kindness, integrity, enthusiasm, and generosity. This is a very useful tool man!
Therefore, Yang Jin swallowed up the reason to stop He Mingxiu, and instead asked about the fifth-grade master.
First, he was interested in the classification of masters in the martial arts world and wanted to know more about them.
Another important reason is also to learn more about He Mingxiu during the communication with him.
After all, Yang Jin plans to use He Mingxiu to do something for him. How can you do it without knowing more about He Mingxiu's personal information?
If a tool like He Mingxiu comes to help him, it will be very important for his next plan!
He Mingxiu heard Yang Jin ask about this matter, and while leading Yang Jin and the others out of the room, he said: "Junior brother Yang, you are not a martial arts person, so you don't know some common sense in the martial arts. This is normal!
Although this Lu Xinglie has done many evil things, he is a heinous person.
But this person's martial arts is indeed not weak, and he is indeed a master of the fifth rank. "
Yang Jin heard the dead ghost Lu Xinglie bragging before he died that he was a master of the fifth-grade Broken Jade King Kong Realm. Just now, he heard the old man surnamed Liang also say that Lu Xinglie was a master of the fifth-grade.
He was a little curious, and even secretly guessed in his heart, "Could it be that the masters in this world are not divided into first-rate masters, second-rate masters, etc.?
Regarding this point, Yang Jin wanted to find out. It was related to his simple understanding of the general strength of martial arts masters.
Lu Xinglie is a master at the fifth level. Comparing his strength can give Yang Jin a general understanding of the strength of the martial arts masters in this world.
This way he can know whether the world is high in martial arts or low in martial arts, which will be beneficial to his plan to integrate into the world of martial arts.
As expected, He Mingxiu continued: "As for what the fifth level means, let's give an example.
Things in this world must be divided into high and low levels.
The same goes for martial arts training.
Take the civil and military officials in the imperial court as an example. The nine and eighteen ranks, from the prime minister of the first rank to the minor officials of the ninth rank, are all within this framework.
According to the grade, it is clear who is higher and who is lower, who is superior and who is inferior, who is respected and who is inferior.
This is true in temples, and it is also true in martial arts circles. Martial arts practitioners also have various realm bottlenecks in the process of martial arts practice.
Moreover, each martial arts practitioner has different basic talents and martial arts skills, and has a different understanding of martial arts.
The progress speed of martial arts training and their level of cultivation are also different.
This martial arts practice is like people going on a long journey, some people run on foot, and some people ride horses and sit in sedan chairs.
Some people may not be able to walk just outside the city gate, some may stop halfway, and some may walk very far until they are very close to the end.
So all kinds of situations can happen, just to name a few.
In order to make the way of martial arts cultivation easier to understand, the realm of cultivation is clear at a glance.
A long time ago, some senior masters and experts in the martial arts world had different levels of difficulty according to the difficulty of each bottleneck encountered in martial arts practice.
The martial arts cultivation that people have achieved is divided into nine realms and nine grades.
From low to high, they are from ninth grade to first grade, just like the officials in the temple.
There are nine realms, just like the nine-level official system.
And there is a small bottleneck in each realm, so each level is divided into upper and lower levels.
This Lu Xinglie is a master of the fifth rank, and his achievements in martial arts are like those of a full fifth rank official in the imperial court. Does this mean that junior brother understands? "
Yang Jin nodded. It turned out that just as he had guessed, the martial arts masters here were really divided into different levels.
"This Lu Xinglie is a master on the fifth level, and he is ranked 98th on the Jianghu Black List. The masters here are divided into levels and rankings. It sounds very professional!
It seems that the level of martial arts development in this world should be very high! "
Thinking of the black list of Jianghu, Yang Jin asked again: "Brother, I just heard Senior Liang and Senior Mei say that this Lu Xinglie is not only a master of the fifth rank, he is also ranked 98th on some black list of Jianghu. This What is the black list of Jianghu?
Could this black list be some kind of expert strength ranking list? "
Contrary to Yang Jin's expectation, He Mingxiu shook his head, "That's not true!
This black list is not a ranking list of martial arts masters. However, there are indeed ranking lists of martial arts masters, and there are several of them, but this black list is not one of them!
As for the fact that Lu Xinglie is ranked ninety-eight on the black list, it is very complicated to talk about, and it is not clear for a while.
how to say?
Um! Put it this way.
This Jianghu Black List is like the imperial court's official arrest warrant, Jianghu Wanted Order. The people on the list are all heinous and evil villains, big devils!
Everyone above is notorious and deserves to be cut into pieces.
It's just that the arrest warrants and arrest warrants were issued by the imperial court, while the black list was drawn up by the rumors organization based on the ferocity of each villain in the world, and was issued by the "Tian Xia Alliance" of the Wulin Righteous Alliance. The world.
Anyone who is on the black list will be pursued and killed by all the righteous people in the world and the four major courts.
The rankings on this black list are all based on strength and evil deeds, but there are also some people whose rankings are not consistent with their strength, just like..."
Before He Mingxiu could continue, Yang Jin interrupted, "Sorry, Senior Brother He, please stop for a moment."
After being interrupted by Yang Jin, He Mingxiu thought there was something wrong with what he said, so he asked: "What's wrong?
What’s wrong with what I just said?
Or does Junior Brother Yang have any different opinions? "
Yang Jin quickly shook his head: "That's not true, senior brother said it very clearly just now, and I also understood it.
It's just that I know I'm a bit stupid, and I'm afraid I'll forget what my senior brother said in a blink of an eye.
And starting from tomorrow, I will learn martial arts from Senior Liang and the others, so I want to buy some paper and pens now.
Write down everything my senior brother said, as well as what Senior Liang and the others said when they taught me martial arts.
Once it is written down on paper, I will not be afraid that I will not be able to remember it in the future.
In the future, I will take it out and study it frequently and ponder it carefully. I think it will be very beneficial.
That’s why I was rude and interrupted my senior brother! "
"Oh I got it!
Junior Brother Yang, it turns out that’s what you think! "
He Mingxiu nodded first, then glanced at Yang Jin in surprise, "This is indeed a good idea!
It is indeed more reliable to write down what you want to remember than to remember it in your head.
After all, some things are likely to be forgotten over time, so it is much better to write them down on paper.
But, as far as I know, junior brother seems to be illiterate, right?
Brother Wei heard what Junior Brother Zhao Qing and others said yesterday. It seems that Junior Brother Yang and you, except Su Xiaomei, can write some very ancient texts that were used by the Zhou Dynasty for the Ministry of Rites and Sacrifice more than 400 years ago. Not even illiterate? "
He Mingxiu thought Yang Jin's idea was good, but he had doubts about whether Yang Jin was literate.
Yang Jin nodded, "Senior brother is right, I really don't know a word."
"That's weird!"
He Mingxiu was a little strange and asked: "Since junior brother doesn't know a single word, what's the use of buying paper and pen?
Although your idea is good, since you can't read, how can you write down what others say? "
"Senior brother, if I dare to say this, then of course I am confident that I can do it!"
Seeing that He Mingxiu still didn't believe him, Yang Jin continued to explain: "Senior brother, although I am illiterate, I think that being illiterate does not necessarily mean that you cannot write down something on paper!
And I think I should be able to completely write down what my senior brother said with pen and paper. "
Seeing that He Mingxiu still didn't understand, Yang Jin continued: "Senior brother, don't believe it, let me explain it to you.
Although I am illiterate, I cannot write down what my senior brother said, stroke by stroke, using the words you think of, senior brother.
But I can use other methods to replace words. At least I can use symbols or pictures that I can understand to write down what my senior brother said on paper in a way that I can understand.
Since I wrote these things, of course I can understand them.
I don’t need others to understand it, naturally as long as I can understand it myself! "
Although what Yang Jin said was a bit complicated and convoluted, the meaning was very clear. He just needed to use other symbols and pictures to write down the things that needed to be recorded, so that he could understand them himself!
After hearing Yang Jin's explanation, He Mingxiu understood immediately. He looked at Yang Jin with some surprise: "Oh! So this is what Junior Brother Yang thinks!
If you do it the way you want, it's a good idea. "
After saying that, he was still a little curious and asked Yang Jin: "By the way, junior brother, how did you come up with such a wonderful method?"
To be honest, He Mingxiu was amazed when he heard Yang Jin's method of writing down things on paper.
He couldn't figure out how Yang Jin, a little beggar like him, came up with such a wonderful method.
"Hehe! I told senior brother not to laugh at me!"
Yang Jin pretended to be a little embarrassed, "Actually, I didn't think of this method. I heard it from someone else when I was begging for food.
The man said that there was a rich man who couldn't read. In order to avoid others fooling him, he kept accounts. But since he couldn't read, he had to draw things on the account books. They were all ears of wheat, hoes and sickles, etc., which others couldn't understand. , but the rich man knew it clearly.
So, I immediately thought of this method. "
"Oh! So that's it, don't mention it, it's really a coward who has his own tricks!"
After He Mingxiu listened to the great music, he seemed to remember something and asked Yang Jin: "Junior brother, you want to buy paper and pen, do you have any money on you?
If not, I have some here. If you want to use them, just take them. "
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his body and handed it to Yang Jin. Now He Mingxiu also understood why Yang Jin told him to buy paper and pen.
"Hehe... I am really short of money. Since senior brother is so generous, I have to be more respectful than obey orders. Thank you so much, senior brother!
Senior brother donated generously today, and I will remember it in my heart.
If one day, Junior Brother gets rich, he will definitely repay Senior Brother for the gift of silver and support today! "
Although he was full of beautiful words, Yang Jin still pretended to be a little shy and took the silver, secretly shaking it with his hand, and found that there were four or five taels.
I thought to myself that my cheap brother He was really a kind person, and his actions were indeed extraordinary and generous.
“Now it seems that my judgment was correct!
As expected, my cheap brother He is just a newbie who has just entered the world. He may be really good at martial arts, but his scheming and shamelessness are not thick enough. He is also a little naive and is too easy to trust people.
Yesterday, he was coaxed around by Zhao Qing and told him about the Hanshan Sword Sect's recruitment of disciples.
Today, I have only been in contact with Mr. Yang for less than half a day, and he regards me as one of his own!
This is the perfect choice for tool people. Okay, the next plan depends on him! "
After collecting the money given by He Mingxiu, and after some communication and testing, Yang Jin marked He Mingxiu as a tool man in his heart.
In fact, Yang Jin himself had money. All the wealth left behind by Lu Xinglie after his death fell into his hands. Of course he had money!
But he had no reason to get the money, so of course he didn't dare to spend it in a brazen way.
Now he is just a little beggar who doesn't have enough to eat. How can he have any money?
If he dared to spend money to buy things in a brazen way, wouldn't he be inviting suspicion?
But now that he has this ingot of silver given by He Mingxiu, if he spends money in the future, when others ask, he can evade it and say that the money was given by He Mingxiu.
Therefore, borrowing money killed two birds with one stone. It not only tested He Mingxiu's character, but also gave him a legitimate reason to spend money blatantly.
Of course, what he told He Mingxiu to buy pen and paper was not as simple as what he just said!
