If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 14 Showdown, Secret

Looking at the fallen leaves on the table that were broken into eight petals, Gu Yan swallowed his saliva.

What just happened?
With his reaction, he couldn't even see the trajectory of his master's sword.

I was surprised.

The emotional value must be given enough.

Gu Yan's face naturally revealed a look of shock. He pointed at the broken leaves on the table and said in a trembling voice, "Master, this...this."

Seeing his disciple like this, Daozhen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He put his left hand behind his back, stroked his three-inch green beard with his right hand, and said calmly:

"Xuan Yi, what do you think martial arts is?
Martial arts, in fact, is about strengthening your muscles and bones, and then teaching you how to hit and kill people with the least effort.

My Qingyun Temple is not like those martial arts schools at the foot of the mountain where you can't just teach people a few fighting and killing techniques and think you've become a master.

The more powerful the martial arts, the higher the basic requirements.

Although most of your senior brothers come from wealthy families and have taken good care of their bodies since childhood, they still cannot reach the basic level for entry, so they can only develop their health slowly.

Only after they have developed a strong body of blood and energy can they become disciples and learn real martial arts.

You are different.

You are born with supernatural powers. Even if you don't practice martial arts, you can become a fierce general in the army. That's why I accepted you as my personal disciple after you entered the temple for more than two months."

"Thank you, Master, for your appreciation!"

Seeing Daozhen was in a good mood, Gu Yan asked, "Master, if we practice martial arts to a high level, can we snatch the head of a general from a vast army?"

Daozhen:.
He paused stroking his beard, frowning slightly. "Of course not. Human power is limited. Even a top-tier master, both internal and external, would be doomed to die when faced with hundreds of elite armored soldiers lined up in formation. Not to mention the iron nets and powerful crossbows. How could he possibly treat thousands of people as nothing?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan was a little disappointed.

He then asked, "Can you practice coming and going without a trace, leaving no footprint on the snow, or crossing a river on a reed?"

Daozhen:.
He shook his head again. "Even if one practices internal cultivation, internal energy can only enhance a person's physical functions. It can allow an ordinary person to leap several feet, enhance their five senses, and perceive the flight paths of mosquitoes around them. But how can it allow someone to walk on snow without leaving any footprints?"

Perhaps he was afraid that what he said would not be as good as Gu Yanyi's, and would dampen his cheap disciple's enthusiasm for martial arts.

Michizane continued to add:
"Perhaps you have heard some folk tales and stories about ghosts and gods, which is why you have these fantasies.

Most folk stories are based on false information, which is why they are so shocking.

Although martial arts cannot make you an enemy of ten thousand men, my Qingyun Temple has the method of internal cultivation and external training. Internal cultivation can prolong your life and make you live to be a hundred years old. External training can make you have the strength of a thousand pounds, enough to reach the tip of a hair and be able to pluck leaves and hurt people.

Xuanyi, you are born with supernatural powers. Once you have achieved great power both internally and externally, and put on heavy armor, who can be your opponent?
Wait till that point.

What's the difference between you and the characters described by storytellers?"

That being said.

Gu Yan was a little disappointed.

In fact, when he came down the mountain and saw those burly county family guards who couldn't even disperse the refugees who outnumbered themselves several times, he knew that the martial arts level of ordinary people would not be very high.

Now after listening to Daozhen’s popular science, I have completely given up hope.

Seeing that Daozhen was afraid that he was too ambitious, Gu Yan took out the things he had prepared long ago and handed them to Daozhen:
"Master, the reason Xuanyi asked this question is mainly because he had these ideas after reading the description in this book.

Xuanyi was born in the mountains and suffered from tuberculosis.

In order to cure me, my father spent all his family wealth. Later, in order to collect some folk remedies, he went up the mountain to search, but was eventually killed by a tiger. After that, two of my father's apprentices were struck by lightning on a rainy day, and their entire families were wiped out. The villagers thought I was a disaster, so I left with my illness.

Unexpectedly, by chance, he met a Taoist who died in a miserable way.

I received silver notes and precious elixirs from him, which cured my tuberculosis. It was also out of gratitude to the Taoist that I finally came to the renowned Qingyun Temple and became a disciple."

Anyway, the certificate has been obtained and the status has been determined.

He stopped pretending and came clean.

Daozhen was not surprised by Gu Yan's words.

It is not easy to be the direct descendant of Qingyun Temple's martial arts.

If he didn't investigate thoroughly, it would be disastrous if he ended up raising a tiger that would become a threat. When he was about to accept Gu Yan, he ordered his trusted Taoist priest to take Gu Yan's portrait and go to Gu Yan's ancestral home to investigate. It took more than a month, and he had basically investigated Gu Yan's situation thoroughly.

Seeing that there was no problem, Daozhen showed up to accept him as a disciple, and the relationship between master and disciple was completely established.

But I never thought that there was a hidden story behind this.

Little did he know that Gu Yan had thought of all this a long time ago, so he did not hide it from the beginning. He just used some montage techniques to cleverly cover up the encounter with the Taoist Nian Yun, turning it into an adventure, and also explaining why a young man from the mountains like him had so much money.

Without mentioning these, Daozhen took the book handed to him by Gu Yan and glanced at it casually.

When he saw the title of the book clearly, he was stunned, and then looked at Gu Yan seriously: "Xuan Yi, have you practiced this book?"

This book is the one with five copies of "Iron Body Kung Fu".

Gu Yan shook his head: "I can understand all the words in this book, but I didn't understand the theory of meridians before, so how could I dare to practice it?"

Hearing this, Daozhen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you didn't practice, it's good that you didn't practice."

Gu Yan quickly asked, "Master, is there something wrong with this technique?"

Daozhen shook his head in confusion. "The technique is good, comparable to the best external martial arts of my Qingyun Temple. But this thing, Xuanyi, there are some things that I can't tell you right now. Besides this book from the Taoist priest, what else did you get?"

Gu Yan took out another jade bottle from his pocket and said, "Master, the bag was broken at first. There wasn't much in it, just two bottles, a book, and some money. This is my last harvest. Oh, there was also a plaque originally, but I didn't take it."

If Daozhen wanted to know where the body was buried, he could also take him there to see the 'digged' fake grave.

He had a clean background and had used his keen hearing to overhear Daozhen and the old Taoist talking about the affairs of the aristocratic family. He also found out what kind of person Daozhen was. He had long been prepared to become Daozhen's apprentice, so he looked for an opportunity to play his cards openly and get in touch with the secrets of this world as quickly as possible.

Even if there is an accident, he has a way to escape.

Daozhen took the jade bottle, took a look at it, and frowned.

broken.

It really belongs to that group of people.

He held the bottle further away, facing downwind, opened it, then took a light sniff and completely gave up.

"I didn't expect he was really a running dog of the Liu family."

Daozhen sighed and threw the bottle back to Gu Yan: "This is a corpse-avoiding pill. It can prevent corpse qi from invading the body. You don't usually encounter it. Well, since you have been exposed to these things and are a steady person, I will tell you some of what I know. Let's go to my training room to talk."

After saying that, he brought Gu Yan into the house, and in front of Gu Yan, he rhythmically patted a certain spot on the wall.

Click~
With the sound of the wall opening and closing, a downward walkway appeared in front of the two people.

Seeing the curiosity on Gu Yan's face, Daozhen led the way while explaining, "The method of internal cultivation requires quietness, otherwise it is easy to reverse the energy and damage the internal organs. In addition, internal cultivation is not as peaceful as you see it on the surface. You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Xuanyi, if you want to live long in this world, caution is the most important thing."

Perhaps it was Gu Yan's frankness and trust that made Daozhen feel more friendly towards Gu Yan and he subconsciously began to teach him.

Master, Master, you are like a father to me.

From the moment they became apprentices, they became a community of shared destiny.

Hearing this, Gu Yan nodded seriously.

This is something you can learn.

Go back and dig a basement!

The yard is on the hill.

The rocks are difficult to cut.

Daozhen's practice room is naturally not very big.

There were no tables or chairs inside, only a futon, some books, some wooden boxes and water bags.

Daozhen lit a candle, sat cross-legged on the futon, and said to Gu Yan, "You said before that there was a wooden plaque among the Taoist's relics. Does that wooden plaque have words engraved on both sides?"

Gu Yan nodded
Master Daozhen just mentioned the Liu family, which just corresponds to the two words "Liu" on one side of the sign. It is obvious that he knows the secret.

The secrets of this world are finally about to be revealed to you!
