Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

It was only in recent years that Yang Wenshan lost his loved ones, which caused him to be heartbroken and alcoholic. Otherwise, if he had practiced health-preserving exercises, he could have easily lived to be seventy or eighty years old.

After all, this world is full of spiritual energy. Although it is thin, aged medicinal herbs are still very nourishing.

As long as you find the right method, it’s hard to say whether you can live to be a hundred years old, but it’s easy to live to be seventy or eighty years old.

Yang Wenshan thought about it, then walked to the cabinet beside him and pressed lightly on a brick.

The bricks sank in and were found to be hollow underneath.

"Oh my god, Elder Yang, you're not going to teach me peerless martial arts, are you? Did your grandfather bring back some rare martial arts manual from the palace?"

Yang Wenshan rolled his eyes and said, "A unique martial arts book is worthless. In my opinion, it's nothing. Only you treasure it."

"Master Yang, do you know how much bloodshed a good martial arts manual can cause in the martial arts world?"

Jiang Weichen certainly wouldn't think it was a martial arts secret book, and Old Yang wouldn't take a martial arts secret book so seriously either. It was most likely a medical book.

As expected, Elder Yang said, "Everyone has their own preferences. You warriors value martial arts as your life, while we doctors value medical books as our life."

Old Yang took out a book wrapped in moisture-proof oil paper from the hollow wall.

"These were copied from the palace by my grandfather when he was an imperial physician. Originally, I didn't intend to pass these medical books on to you.

After all, you are not my disciple, and you don’t have the ideal of saving the world.

But since you are respectful to me and not ungrateful, I will pass it on to you."

Yang Wenshan opened the oil paper and found four or five medical books inside.

“These are four volumes of the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine and one volume of Shennong’s Classic of Herbal Medicine.

For the past three months, I have only taught you the meridians and acupoints and some knowledge about the human body. However, medical skills are profound and cannot be taught in a few months.

I give you these books. I hope you will have time to study them carefully in the future. They will be very helpful for your martial arts practice."

Jiang Weichen took it solemnly, looked at Elder Yang's reluctant expression, and said, "Elder Yang, don't pretend to be reluctant. Even if you don't have a rubbing copy of such a precious medical book, you still have a handwritten copy.

Maybe what you gave me was your handwritten copy. By the way, did you copy it wrong?

Yang Wenshan immediately said angrily: "If you don't want it, you can return it to me. Even if I have a backup, it was passed down from my ancestors."

"Why wouldn't I want it? It's a free benefit."

Jiang Weichen put away the medical book and asked again, "Master Yang, I heard that the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine has eighteen volumes, but you only have four. That's a big difference."

"How can you take out the books in the Imperial Palace so easily? Even if His Majesty allows it, he won't let you take them all out."

These medical books were a treasured collection that his grandfather had memorized and copied down.

"Isn't it the Imperial Palace? Elder Yang, if you can just live a few more years, I can sneak in and bring out all the medical books for you.

I'll give it to you as a family heirloom, so that your descendants will never be able to learn enough."

Yang Wenshan taunted him, "If you want to die, then go ahead. Do you think it's so easy to sneak into the palace? Do you think only martial arts masters can do this?"

"Of course I know there are masters in the palace, but as long as you live another twenty or thirty years, and I don't die by then, they won't be able to stop me."

Twenty or thirty years later, he was almost forty years old. With the help of Yandao Hall, he would not be invincible, but it would be easy for him to sneak into the palace and take something.

"You are quite confident." Old Yang closed the secret compartment and did not argue anymore.

Chapter 35 The Situation in Yangcheng

The next afternoon, on the second floor of the Health Hall, a figure suddenly broke through the window and fell down.

Then an angry voice came: "You evil beast, I saw that you were homeless, so I took you in out of kindness.

I never thought that you, an ungrateful person, would dare to steal my family medical book?"

Jiang Weichen, who had fallen from the second floor, supported himself on the ground and quickly stood up. He said to Yang Wenshan at the window:

"You old bastard, I came here sincerely to learn from you, but you used the pretext of observing me for six years, but in reality you wanted me to work like a slave for you.

I won't tolerate this. If you don't teach me, I'll learn it myself."

People passing by were shocked at first, but they immediately understood after hearing what was said.

Immediately they started discussing.

"Isn't that the young man who has been living in the Health Hall for the past two or three months?"

"Alas, the reputation of this health center is getting worse and worse. Not only did they kill people before, but now they even cheated a child like this."

"What do you know? How can medical skills be passed down lightly? What's wrong with six years of observation?"

"How many six years can a person have in his life? If he tries to learn after six years, he will still be a rookie until he dies."

"..."

"Dad, isn't that Brother Jiang? Why is he in Yangcheng too?"

Zhou Wen and Zhou Shengwang, who were passing by in the distance and were attracted by the scene, also saw Jiang Weichen.

Zhou Shengwang sighed and said, "Alas, what a sin! I left Lotus Town just to avoid him. I didn't want to get involved with him any more.

I didn't expect him to come to Yangcheng first, so we just came here on our own."

Zhou Wen asked, "Dad, do we have to move again?"

"Oh, why move? I've already bought a house outside the city, so how can I afford to do that?"

He had just settled down outside the city, and his son had just been recommended by the teacher of Lianhua Town and had just started studying at the school in Yangcheng.

Today I originally wanted to see which place is suitable for setting up a stall and continue doing my old business.

But then I saw Jiang Weichen.

"Dad, I don't think Brother Jiang is a bad person. Why do you want to avoid him?"

"Has he forgotten about killing three people? Has he forgotten about being thrown into jail?

Besides, he's only been in Yangcheng for two or three months, and he's already gotten into trouble again."

"Dad, he killed a bad guy. In the storybook, that's chivalry, standing up against injustice."

"Shut up! I've told you so many times to stop reading storybooks and focus on reading."

Zhou Shengwang grabbed his son and was about to leave.

Zhou Wen struggled, but it was useless. He said, "Dad, there's no need to rush. Let's go and see what's going on."

"What could have happened? Didn't you hear me? I stole someone's medical book."

"But I heard from the people around me that the doctor has a bad reputation. It's definitely not Brother Jiang's fault, right?"

"No matter who you blame, stealing is wrong. Stay away from him from now on. We can't afford to offend him."

Zhou Wen refused to accept it, but he had no choice but to be dragged away by his father.

When Yang Wenshan heard what the passersby said below, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Even though it was acting, it wasn't good for his reputation.

But now I think my health center is not very famous anymore.

"Evil beast, return my medical book to me, and I won't bother with you."

"I never give up what I have. I'm leaving now. Bye!"

After Jiang Weichen finished speaking, he took the machete and put the medical book into his arms, but in fact he had already put it into the Yandao Hall.

Although the Yandao Hall is used for performing magic, there is nothing in it except the cushions. Jiang Weichen tried to put things in it a few days ago, and he didn't expect it to really work.

However, living things cannot be allowed in, and Jiang Weichen can only enter with his consciousness.

From the second-floor window, Yang Wenshan watched Jiang Weichen squeeze into the crowd and leave quickly, then symbolically ran downstairs and chased after him.

When he came back, he saw his granddaughter sitting on the little wooden horse that Jiang Weichen made for her and crying.

"Grandpa, will Big Brother come back?"

Yang Wenshan sighed and said, "I will be back."

Jiang Weichen is in Yangcheng, but it is inconvenient for both parties to contact each other.

The reason for this drama was that Jiang Weichen did not want to implicate them, so he used the excuse of "stealing the book" to sever the relationship.

The boy said that he might offend someone in the future and was afraid of implicating them. Yang Wenshan didn't know what the boy was planning.

If that kid hadn't been so obsessed with practicing martial arts, he would have really wanted to keep him and take him in as his successor.

……

On the other side, after Jiang Weichen left, he turned two or three streets before arriving in front of a large manor.

This is the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang. The surrounding area is mostly filled with the gang’s shops and the gang members’ residences.

Jiang Weichen walked into the gate and saw more than ten people standing in the courtyard.

Some of these people were carrying swords, some were holding sticks, and except for a few, they were all young.

After seeing Jiang Weichen, they were a little surprised. The Black Tiger Gang was not a charity, nor was it a martial arts sect, so they would not accept children and train them from a young age.

After all, the cycle is too long, and the Black Tiger Gang may disappear at any time.

Most of them came here to learn martial arts. The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, there were no martial arts schools in the city, and the major martial arts sects would not accept people of their age.

Although the Black Tiger Gang cannot compare with those martial arts sects, they are still the local snakes in Yangcheng and still have a collection of several martial arts.

This became their only option.

Jiang Weichen felt that he had come too early, but today was the last day, so he had to come early.

……

At this time, in the hall in front, several high-ranking members of the Black Tiger Gang were gathered together to talk.

Gang leader Zhao Chengtian sat at the first seat, with two people sitting on each side.

They are Niu Gui, Huang Mengsheng, Li Ziniu and Zhu Kai.

The Black Tiger Gang has been established for fifteen years, and Li Ziniu is responsible for the business management of the shops, including casinos, brothels, restaurants, etc.

Zhu Kai is responsible for the Black Tiger Gang's fields and tenant management outside the city.

Niu Gui is responsible for recruiting new members, teaching martial arts, and punishing disciples who violate gang rules.
