Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 50: May the Spring Breeze Come to Your Promise

Oh my, the person who wrote the boxing manual is really arrogant.

I will beat you all, and the essence of your boxing skills will be written down in a book. If you can't teach your descendants in the future, you can come and look at my boxing manual.

How arrogant is this?!

Even if someone were to defeat Shaolin alone in his prime, when he gets old, he may not be able to train so many respectable disciples.

How can a well-established and large sect like Shaolin withstand the accumulation of monks, laymen and the like if they come to cause trouble?

Excluding those who only eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, other monks, since they practice martial arts, are bound to have three parts of bloodiness, three parts of anger, and four parts of ruthlessness for wanting to be strong and famous.

But the person who wrote the boxing manual is really not afraid.

Because he is not a martial artist.

He was a great general who fought in many battles in the south and the north. He was Yu Dayou of the Ming Dynasty and was once known as the Dragon and Tiger together with another famous general Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang was also good at reforming military equipment and organizing joint attack formations. He first swept the coast in the east and then occupied the Great Wall in the north, thanks largely to the success of the formations and equipment.

As for Yu Dayou, the elite soldiers under his command only used some common weapons. He relied on his profound martial arts foundation and unique insights to provide some training and trained a large group of fierce soldiers.

He was clearly a great general on the battlefield, but for a period of time, he didn't even use spears, swords, and other killing weapons.

He just took a stick, wrapped both ends with iron sheets and a copper ring, and went to fight with the Japanese pirates, beating them to death.

Faced with such a person, the old and cunning Shaolin monks had no desire for revenge. Instead, they encouraged a group of monks to follow Yu Dayou to fight against the Japanese pirates and asked Yu Dayou to teach them Shaolin stick techniques, which became a beautiful story.

After Chu Tianshu got the boxing manual, he immersed himself in it. He sat down at the table unconsciously and looked through it for a long time in the yard.

This boxing manual contains not only many training methods and body-washing prescriptions, but also examples of fighting with Shaolin monks.

With just a few strokes, one can outline the experience of competing and dismantling each other's clever moves.

It seems that Yu Dayou is not only an expert in martial arts, but also has a profound knowledge of writing.

Chu Tianshu woke up from his dream when he turned to the last page. He actually forgot to say hello to Principal Li and finished reading the whole book.

Only a few butterflies remained in the yard, and the rest followed Principal Li to other places in the regiment headquarters.

"Hey?"

Chu Tianshu looked around and found that only Zhong Jinqiu was left at the table. He couldn't help but ask, "Where did they go?"

Zhong Jinqiu was staring at a piece of pickled radish in his hand, as if he thought the food the kitchen staff had prepared tasted off. Hearing this, he said, "Didn't you give them the prescription? They're going to make the medicine."

"This Principal Li always has a smiling face, but he is a man of decisive character."

Zhong Jinqiu raised his eyes and said, "I heard from Lao Ma that you are leaving?"

Chu Tianshu nodded: "Just in these two days."

Zhong Jinqiu smiled and said, "I think he really doesn't want to leave you, but he's afraid of appearing a little hypocritical, so he doesn't want to stay here and chat with you more."

Chu Tianshu said: "Although we have not known each other for a long time, we have experienced a lot. Uncle Ma and Uncle Zhong are like elders in my family in my heart."

"These two secret manuals are not only the reward I want, but I also want my two uncles to learn from them. General Cai will definitely agree."

"When you leave your long-standing retreat and move to a new place, you must find something to pass the time. With something good like this, you won't be too bored."

Zhong Jinqiu laughed heartily and said, "Old Ma is definitely not bored. He just promised Principal Li that he would be a lecturer at the Military Academy."

Chu Tianshu said happily: "That's a good thing."

The total amount of telekinesis cultivated by a sorcerer depends on his personal cultivation level, but the quality, purity and characteristics of the telekinesis largely depend on the method of practice.

If two Dharma lineages are passed down, the quality of the mental power cultivated is similar, but the characteristics are very different.

Therefore, it would be very unprofitable for the descendant of one lineage to learn the magic of another lineage.

Therefore, Chu Tianshu did not mention teaching the secrets of medical spells to Shopkeeper Ma, and Shopkeeper Ma did not teach him the Fire Bird Taoist's control spells.

However, if the new method learned is of significantly higher quality than one's original method.

Then you can start from the low and go up to the high, and go from the high to the low, and relatively smoothly explore both the new and old magic.

Looking at the level of Cai Shanjun’s own magic, one can tell that there must be a profound magic lineage passed down in the Military Academy.

Since Shopkeeper Ma has joined, it is not only an opportunity for him to teach those students, but also an opportunity for him to further his studies.

"What about you, Uncle Zhong?"

Chu Tianshu advised, "I know Uncle Ma hasn't really accepted his old age yet, and Uncle Zhong is more adaptable than him. Since he's adaptable, when he receives an invitation like this, why not just go with the flow..."

Zhong Jinqiu waved his hand: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. Since Lao Ma has gone, I will go too soon or later."

"But you asked me to learn the Shaolin Climbing book you have. There's no rush. Although that book is the most advanced boxing secret manual in the Military Academy, it's not the most suitable for me right now."

"That Palm Thunder set is what has piqued my interest the most recently. It's a set of skills I should practice in depth."

Zhong Jinqiu stood up and picked up a wooden stick from the wall.

"A seven-foot flower spear, an eight-foot staff, and a long spear that's ten feet and eight inches long!"

"For ordinary people, the longer the spear, the more advantageous it is. However, for a boxer who has mastered the art of boxing, the longer the weapon, the harder it is to control the force transmitted to the tip."

"When I went to kill the old eunuch, I used a bamboo spear to hit him. The force of the spear was not accurate enough, so I lost a lot of energy. Later, my arms were easily bruised by the old eunuch's beating. It was also because I couldn't control the force well enough."

"Look at me now."

He swept his long stick.

The butterflies in the flowers were startled and flew away.

Yizhou is warm, and although it is autumn, there are still many places where flowers are in full bloom.

As the butterfly flew up, a few tender purple-red azalea petals were also swept up by the wind from the stick.

The tip of Zhong Jinqiu's stick shook in a circle, as if a petal was caught in the circle.

When other petals fell, only that petal was affected by the air flow, flipping over and over again and not falling to the ground.

Zhong Jinqiu moved around, tapping, stabbing, shaking and sweeping with the stick.

The petal rolled and tumbled, following the tip of the stick for several inches, and actually followed him to the wall.

There is a pile of bricks by the wall, which are taller than a person. The guard company of the regiment headquarters often uses hemp ropes to tie the bricks and hang them on the muzzle of the gun to exercise arm strength.

The petals floated in front of the blue bricks.

Zhong Jinqiu's wrists contracted and loosened, and the tip of the stick thrust out, nailing the petals to the brick.

On the other side of the pile, two bricks exploded with a bang and flew out. Zhong Jinqiu suddenly put away his stick and raised his hand to catch the falling petals.

Chu Tianshu stood up and looked. The fresh petals were just slightly dented in the middle, but there were no cracks or damage.

"it is good!"

Chu Tianshu's eyes lit up with surprise, and he praised it without hesitation, clapping his hands involuntarily.

In terms of combat ability, Chu Tianshu is already superior to Zhong Jinqiu.

But he is still far from reaching this level in terms of controlling strength.

Chu Tianshu even felt that if Zhong Jinqiu had the same physical attainments as himself, he could ignore hard armor and soft armor when fighting against Adjutant Zhou and Captain Xu.

Just attack as if the opponent has no armor, and every move will cause real damage.

"I've only recently realized this. Besides, my strength, in general, isn't as great as yours, so it's easier to control."

Zhong Jinqiu looked calm, but his words were actually very sincere.

"You will definitely not be satisfied with just being haunted by dragons and eating your way to immortality in the future, but you must first take steady steps before you can proceed more smoothly."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "I understand."

For the time being, he would just look at and memorize the Shaolin boxing manual, but he was not in a hurry to practice it.

After all, his "Toad Palm Thunder" has not yet reached perfection, and his internal organs such as liver, gallbladder, spleen and kidneys have not yet been fully nurtured.

Even though Palm Thunder is not as valuable as Shaolin, he has the correct feeling of Palm Thunder in his mind, which is more effective than just practicing it by reading the boxing manual.

As for "Crossing Shaolin", you can wait until the future to deduce it and transfer it directly into your mind.

It’s like getting instruction from a top teacher and then practicing.

Zhong Jinqiu took great pains to practice this move, with the original intention of reminding Chu Tianshu.

Seeing that Chu Tianshu's eyes were clear and he was neither arrogant nor impatient, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a smell of medicine gradually drifted into the yard.

"The medicine soup is here."

Shopkeeper Ma walked over here, holding a jar of boiling hot medicine with a cloth padding the handle, muttering to himself.

"Xiao Chu, take a look at this medicine. How is the heat? If it's not thick enough, I'll take it back and boil it again."

Cai Shanjun and Li Genyuan both came over.

Chu Tianshu was at a loss for words: "Why don't you just call me over to take a look at this kind of thing? Why are you still carrying the medicine jar around?"

Cai Shanjun smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Ma is just doing it for the convenience of the situation. As for us, moving around is good for our health anyway."

Chu Tianshu opened the lid, entered a spiritual state, and checked the potency of the medicine.

A witch doctor's telekinesis can only give a rough sense of the efficacy of medicine, and ancient witch doctors have made mistakes in judgment and eaten poisonous herbs.

But because the prescription itself was written by him, he knew all the medicinal ingredients, so it was much easier to make a comprehensive judgment.

"Okay."

Chu Tianshu raised the medicine jar, and a line of black medicine juice slowly poured into the bowl, with a continuous and delicate sound.

Pour the medicine in this way, and by the time a bowl is full, the temperature will have dropped to a level that is roughly edible.

Cai Shanjun took the medicine bowl, tasted it against his lips, and his face changed slightly.

It would be fine if it were just bitter, but the key is that it has an indescribable taste.

He tilted his head to the side, took a deep breath, and then started drinking.

Just at this moment, Captain Xie came running over hurriedly.

"Governor, a telegram from the one in Bashu!"

Li Genyuan took it first and looked at it. His face immediately lit up with joy. He laughed heartily and said, "Tiger, Liu Yanqi has taken action!"

Chu Tianshu asked curiously, "Who is Liu Yanqi?"

Li Genyuan explained.

Bashu also has a military academy. The current principal is Liu Zhao, with the courtesy name Yanqi.

When he was young, he went to school at the Officers' School in the Fog City, where he studied various advanced military courses. At the same time, he was familiar with ancient military books and could recite many chapters of classics such as "The Art of War" and "The Art of Wu".

Not only is he an outstanding student, but he is also well-known throughout the school for his good behavior, good moral integrity, no bad habits, and extraordinary endurance and perseverance.

After Old Man Sun started the rebellion, he followed him and became the principal of the Military Academy. He then made many friends, cultivated talents, and hid strategies in his mind. He had already become a well-known figure.

He and Cai Shanjun were good friends. When Cai Shanjun was farming, he visited Cai's family three times and strongly invited Cai Shanjun to join the army.

Liu Yanqi has long disagreed with many of the current actions of the Grand Commander of Bashu, but he has been holding back because the time has not yet come.

"I didn't expect he would choose this time to do it."

Cai Shanjun put down the medicine bowl, ignored the bitterness in his mouth, and took the telegram to read it carefully.

"It turns out there's been a strange case in Bashu lately. Rumor has it that it's the work of ghosts and gods from the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhixiang not only didn't investigate thoroughly, but also secretly engaged in evil worship, which gave Yanqi an opportunity to exploit."

"Liu Zhixiang is nominally his cousin. He's not good at training soldiers and fighting wars, but he's very good at political warfare and has quite a few confidants."

"We will immediately rise and return to Kunming, send a telegram to the whole country, uphold justice, gather momentum, and help the Flame Flag."

Cai Shanjun said this and pondered for a long time.

Everyone present seemed to sense the coming storm.

I wonder if this storm will knock down the banana leaves and scatter the flowers, or will it wash away the dust and make the mountains look brand new?
"Everyone."

Chu Tianshu raised his eyes to the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "General, the divination in the mountains, heaven did not dare to let him down, but it made our fate come together."

"Now that the general's spirit and power are recovering, what else can't he overcome?"

"When I come back next time, I will bring you some delicious food from my hometown, so that everyone can enjoy the scenery together."

Cai Shanjun turned his head to look at him and laughed out loud.

"That's right. God has been kind to me. Why should we worry about it?"

Cai Shanjun bowed and said, "Doctor Chu, I hope your journey will be as long as the wind that blows thousands of miles, and as gentle as the spring breeze that returns. I hope we can meet again in the future!"
