Chapter 174 The Painter Finally Appears

On this day, because of the tug-of-war between Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu, the two accidentally tore up a copy of "Tai Chong Sword Manual".

In fact, it was the "Hengshan Swordsmanship" that Mo Xiaobei's senior brother Lu Yiming brought for her to practice, which was accidentally torn up by the two of them in the original drama.

In this world, Feiheng is not Hengshan, nor was it founded by Mo Taichong, so "Hengshan Sword Technique" naturally became "Taichong Sword Technique".

After some discussion between the two and Lao Bai's painstaking search, they finally invited an old painter with white hair and beard, poor hearing, and a slightly fat figure.

After a hearty meal and drink, the painter restored the picture album of "Tai Chong Sword Technique" and told the story of how, when he was eight years old, he exchanged the picture album with Mo Tai Chong for two roujiamo.

"…We beat up eight bandits!"

"Eight?!"

"After that, his deeds spread and he became somewhat famous. He then brought Yi to join the Feiheng Sect and founded the 'Taichong Lineage' within it. I heard that this lineage still exists today."

Mo Xiaobei was struck by lightning. He never expected that the legendary heroic deeds of his ancestors were actually exaggerated.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!!"

Mo Xiaobei was devastated when he learned the truth. He ran into the room and burst into tears. Everyone rushed to comfort him.

Lu Ping took this opportunity to find the old painter.

Although this man was already very old, his face was sleek, he looked energetic and full of life, and it was obvious that he knew how to maintain his health.

Noticing Lu Ping's gaze, the old painter who was drinking and singing suddenly frowned and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Lu Ping smiled calmly: "I just want to see how you maintain your health."

From the beginning, after half a day of observation, Luffy discovered that this man did know some martial arts, but he was not as powerful as he had imagined.

Judging from his internal energy alone, his strength may be even worse than Zhuifeng!

Considering that he is so energetic at his old age, maybe even the kung fu he practices are health-preserving exercises.

Isn't he a wicked Taoist?
The old painter smiled proudly, and seemed to be very satisfied with his physical condition.

"It's nothing more than eating well, getting enough sleep, working less, avoiding arrogance and impatience, staying away from pornography, gambling and drugs. If you have time on weekdays, spend it on reading, writing, painting, and cultivating your sentiments. Over time, your body will naturally get better."

"What you said is really a wise saying..."

Who doesn’t know that this is the best? The problem is that social conditions do not allow it! !

After some conversation, Lu Ping finally confirmed one thing - the rumors on the Internet were all false, and this old painter was not a wicked Taoist priest at all!

The reason why the illustrated book of little people he drew helped Mo Taichong transform from a roujiamo seller into a martial arts master was mainly because of Mo Taichong's own outstanding talent.

Just as Bai Zhantang said: Sword moves have always emphasized meaning rather than form, so when recording, they are mostly described in words. Once drawn into a picture, the moves become dead.

From this we can see that the person who drew the comic book of sword moves may have never seen a real sword manual.

On the other hand, as the old painter and the people in the inn explained: Kung Fu is all imagined by people.

You know, what a painter lacks the least is imagination.

What's more, he was only an eight-year-old child at that time, at the age of fantasy. It was entirely possible that he came up with all kinds of cool moves after listening to martial arts storytelling.

Furthermore, there are people in the world of martial arts who have rich theoretical knowledge but terrible actual combat capabilities.

For example, Wang Yuyan, a character created by Jin Yong, is a character who is proficient in the theories of hundreds of martial arts moves, but she doesn't know any martial arts at all. How similar is this situation to the old man painting in front of us?

Martial arts is a matter that is very much about personal talent.

In the world, some people are strong in cultivation, while others are strong in creation. It does not mean that whoever is the most creative is the master of the world or a martial arts genius.

Since he is not the old painter, then who is he?

Lu Ping had new doubts.

Not long after, the painter inadvertently revealed the truth that the "Sunflower Finger" was also painted by himself, and then, in Bai Zhantang's dumbfounded gaze, he turned around and walked out of Tongfu Inn.

After Tong Xiangyu's persuasion, Mo Xiaobei finally cheered up again.

She figured it out. It didn't matter even if Mo Taichong's swordsmanship was just drawn by an eight-year-old child. As long as the spirit of chivalry was real, it would be fine. If she practiced martial arts seriously from now on, she would definitely be able to continue the glory of her ancestors.

Besides, Mo Taichong's "unique martial arts" is fake, so why not just practice the real peerless martial arts yourself?

So Mo Xiaobei went to Zhang Jing again and told her his request.

After several rounds of entanglement, Zhang Jing finally couldn't stand it anymore and had no choice but to bring her to Lu Ping and explain her idea of ​​learning the military classics.

"You want to learn the Military Scriptures?!"

"Uh-huh!!"

Seeing Mo Xiaobei with shining eyes and a determination to learn martial arts, Lu Ping was somewhat surprised.

The previous military manuals were all given away by me. The Mo Xiaobei in front of me should be the first person who took the initiative to learn from me...

It's a good sign!
This shows that this world is booming!

Thinking of Mo Xiaobei's terrifying talent for martial arts mentioned in the original drama, Lu Ping suddenly felt that it would not be a bad idea to recruit her as the last person in the "Jianghu Wanshiwu"?

Anyway, even if she joins, she is not the youngest. In front of her, there is A Fei who is about the same age, and Sun Xiaohong who is two years younger!

Lu Ping thought about it and nodded in agreement: "If you want to learn the Military Scriptures, I can give you a copy, but there are conditions!"

Mo Xiaobei suddenly became excited: "What are the conditions? Do you want tuition fees? I can give you all the pocket money my sister-in-law gives me every month!"

Lu Ping was ashamed when he heard this and complained: "Come on, your pocket money is not even enough to buy snacks for yourself..."

"My condition is very simple, you need to join our organization!"

Mo Xiaobei looked bitter: "Ah? That won't do! I want to inherit my father and brother's lineage in the future."

"An organization is an organization, and a sect is a sect!"

Lu Ping shook his head and explained the difference to the other party, and then said: "If you join my organization, you can still go back and inherit the will of your father and brother. It won't hinder..."

Mo Xiaobei seemed to understand: "What's the name of your organization, and what does it do?"

"It's called 'Jiang Hu Wan Shi Wu', and its main job is to 'get paid to do things'."

"When we have nothing to do, we focus on being chivalrous and helping others, just like how your Tongfu Inn helped us this time. This kind of chivalrous behavior of helping the weak and suppressing the strong is the purpose of our organization!"

"This...this...this is too cool, right?!!"

Instead of becoming alert and retreating, Mo Xiaobei became even more excited and even stuttered when he spoke.

"What do you mean, do you agree?"

"I agree! Oh no, I want to join! Please let me join!!!"

Children of this age always have infinite longing and expectations for the underworld, and they also have a strong interest in some strange "underworld eccentrics" and "underworld organizations".

The two hit it off immediately, and with the witness of Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu, Mo Xiaobei also became a member of the "Jianghu Wanshiwu".

[It is detected that all ten members of the main quest 'Young Jianghu' have been gathered, and the 'Weaponry and Armor Martial Arts Classics: Qing Volume' is obtained, and the 'Weaponry and Armor Martial Arts Classics: Eleven Volumes Integrated' is also given as a gift]

"It took three months, but this main storyline is finally completed..."

Soon, Lu Ping gave Mo Xiaobei a handwritten copy of the Qing Volume, and told her to practice hard, and remember to lend a helping hand if she encountered injustice in the future.

Mo Xiaobei naturally agreed without hesitation, and secretly strengthened his determination to learn martial arts to help the world and venture into the world of martial arts.

Since then, Lu Ping finally collected all eleven volumes of the Military Scriptures, and sent away the other nine volumes except for the two volumes of "Waste" and "Life":

The Scroll of Heaven - Murong Jiu;

Volume of Earth - Lin Pingzhi;

The Book of Destruction - Tie Xinlan;

The Spirit Scroll - Zhang Jing;
The Book of Gods - (Yao Xing Min Yue??);
The Broken Scroll - A Fei

Rest Volume - Sun Xiaohong;

Ning's Volume - Su Ying;
Volume of Qing Dynasty——Mo Xiaobei.

Excluding the ownership of the Divine Scroll, Xiaoyuer, Yi Wuxin, and Lu Ping himself, they are now all the members of the 'Jianghu Wanshiwu'.

"It seems that the personnel composition is quite different from what was originally planned."

Lu Ping still remembers that he wanted to recruit people according to the structure of the Straw Hat Pirates in the beginning, but who would have thought that the path would go further and further off the track and in the end it all depended on fate.

Mo Xiaobei got the Qing volume of the Bingjia Wujing and practiced even harder. Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu saw all this and felt both relieved and worried.

I am glad that my child has grown up, but I am also worried that she will be involved in the turmoil in the future and will not be able to live in peace.

"I still need to emphasize to her the current situation outside..."

The two were discussing when they heard Li Dazui rushing over in a hurry: "Oh no! Oh no! Shopkeeper, Lao Bai, the scholar is missing!"

"what?!"

The two were shocked, "What happened?!"

Li Dazui immediately told the whole story: "Yesterday afternoon, Xiucai said he was going to the shopkeeper Hao to collect debts. I thought he would be back in half a day at most, but he didn't come back yesterday night!"

"I just went to Manager Hao's shop and asked. The people there said that the scholar left yesterday after collecting the bills."

Bai Zhantang's face darkened when he heard this: "There is no reason for the scholar to disappear without a word. Something must have happened on the way back!"

"Could he have been kidnapped?" Tong Xiangyu looked anxious.

Bai Zhantang shook his head: "He's just a poor scholar, why is there any need to kidnap him?"

"That's hard to say. Didn't he go to collect debts yesterday? He must have money in his hands! There are so many gangsters in this town now, who knows if someone will come and kill for money?"

"That's not right either!"

Bai Zhantang still disagreed: "Manager Hao only has accounts from those few days, how much can it be? The other party doesn't need to risk his life for such a small amount of money."

"Besides, even if you want to kill for money, you should first kidnap the richest old man in town, or our shopkeeper!"

"Well, let's call everyone over first and we'll discuss it carefully!"
