Martial Arts: Starting from Fuwei Escort

Chapter 41 Qiu Dalang Struck by Lightning

During the reign of Lizong in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Based on the steepness of the mountains and the danger of the river, Xiangyang City borrows a river of spring water to win ten miles of scenery, the beauty of mountains and rivers outside, and the victory of humanities inside. It has been a place where merchants gather since ancient times, and it is a prosperous town in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Lu Wende, the appeasement envoy, guarded here and made great achievements in fighting against the Mongolian Tartars. He was praised by the Southern Song Dynasty court as a "famous general of the Song Dynasty" and loved by the people.

On this day, in the bustling city of Xiangyang, suddenly there was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and a bolt of thunder and lightning struck straight down, hitting a young man on the street.

"click~"

On the street, the people were horrified, dumbfounded, and fled in all directions in a hurry.

"Master Dragon King is arresting someone!"

The people screamed in terror.

Being struck by lightning on a clear day is not a good thing.

According to folklore, it is the Dragon King who arrests people, and the people who are struck by lightning will have their skin blackened and burned, and will leave a terrifying "claw mark", as if they were caught by a ferocious beast.

Of course, in the mouths of the common people, every person "caught by the dragon" is a bad person who has done something wrong, and it is the Lord Dragon King who "removed harm for the people".

So, on a sunny day, someone was struck by lightning, and the common people were frightened and scattered, but they didn't have much sympathy for that person, thinking that he deserved it.

After a while, the people on the street fled in all directions and hid in the shops under the eaves to avoid harming the fish in the pond.

Then look at the person who was struck by lightning.

I saw that young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly appearance, more than seven feet tall, high and bulging muscles, well-defined blocks, full of explosive power, wearing a coarse short-sleeved shirt, his skin was bronze-colored, he was a thick-bodied young man, he never imagined that he would suffer such a disaster.

"Hey, isn't that Qiu Dalang from Qiu Blacksmith's house in the west of the city? Why was he struck by lightning?"

In the shop under the eaves, someone looked at the young man and said in surprise when he recognized the man's identity.

"Blacksmith Qiu?"

"The equipment made by his family is not bad, high in quality and low in price. I remember that there is only one son in his family, and this is Qiu Dalang, right?"

"Yes, there is only one Qiu Dalang, and now he is captured by the Dragon King. How can Qiu Blacksmith and his wife live? It's really pitiful!"

"Pitiful?"

"How pitiful!"

"Master Dragon King doesn't arrest anyone, just arrest this Qiu Dalang, I see, this kid must have done something outrageous and offended Master Dragon King, this is what he deserves, he deserves it!"

Someone had a look of disdain, mocking and insulting "Qiu Dalang".

But before the words fell, there was a burst of exclamation in the street, the "Qiu Dalang" who was struck by lightning slowly got up from the ground, and he was still alive!

"ah……"

The common people stared wide-eyed in amazement, and were about to say a few words of admiration, when they heard a bang, a bolt of thunder and lightning struck down again, precisely hitting "Qiu Dalang", and Qiu Dalang fell in response.

"hiss--"

Everyone was stunned, gasped, and immediately showed regret.

"Being struck by lightning twice in a row must be dead..."

After speaking, "Qiu Dalang" squirmed on the street, and stood up unsteadily again.

"Not dead yet?"

The common people stared wide-eyed, thinking that the incident was a bit strange, Qiu Dalang was lucky.

"click~"

Then, a thunder and lightning strike again, hitting Qiu Dalang precisely.

This time, Qiu Dalang's figure froze for a moment, he didn't even fall down, as if he was used to the power of thunder and lightning, he was only in a daze for a moment, then raised his head and stared at the sky, like a fool.

"click~"

This time, he saw clearly.

Others could also see clearly that a bolt of thunder and lightning suddenly shot out from the vast sky, dazzling and dazzling, and hit him directly.

The fourth thunder and lightning!
The bright electric light enveloped Qiu Dalang, startled the bystanders, subconsciously closed their eyes to avoid it, and when the light dissipated, they went to see it with novelty.

"Not dead yet?"

For the fourth thunderstorm, Qiu Dalang who was standing on the street raised his head to meet the thunder and lightning, but he didn't move at all, like a fool.

However, when the thunder and lightning hit him accurately, Qiu Dalang was indifferent, as if he was not injured at all, and the common people were secretly amazed, thinking that the incident was strange, that Qiu Dalang was not a mortal.

"click~"

The fifth thunder, in the anticipation of the people, suddenly hit Qiu Dalang.

It's a pity that Qiu Dalang had no intuition, and walked slowly against the thunder and lightning, as if the thunder and lightning had no effect on him. This weird scene shocked the people in the streets and alleys. Looking at Qiu Dalang's leaving back, he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.

"Is it over?"

Waiting for Qiu Dalang's back to completely disappear in the streets and alleys, the common people waited for a long time before they came out of the shops on the eaves and talked excitedly with each other.

"Five Heavenly Thunders!"

"Then Qiu Dalang was hit five times in a row and didn't die, it's God's blessing!"

"Hey, tell me, is this the legendary "Five Thunders Booming the Top"? Then what did Qiu Dalang do to hurt the world?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense!"

"Master Dragon King failed to strike Qiu Dalang to death with five thunderbolts in a row. In my opinion, this person is either a god or a monster. We dare not talk nonsense. If something happens, it will be terrible!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the ordinary people who were discussing a lot nodded in agreement.

"Makes sense!"

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse that such a person came out of Blacksmith Qiu's family."

"In the past few days, we have avoided his house and left. If it is a monster, we should stay away. If it is a fairy, let's go to enjoy the glory. Maybe we can also be a fairy boy, immortal or something."

"Hey, you're still a kid!"

"But it's not rough, let's hide for a few days and wait and see. Strange people will have strange things. When this kid shows his feet, we will know whether he is a fairy or a monster."

"Makes sense!"

The common people talked about it, and then dispersed. After a while, the rumor seemed to have grown wings, and it spread throughout Xiangyang City in just one day.

Even the nearby villages and towns know that there is Qiu Dalang in Xiangyang City who was struck by lightning five times and survived.

Fame, spread like this.

……

Qiu Mingxuan was speechless.

He didn't expect that the innate skill of [Thunder Body] would even come with the special effect of being struck by lightning.

A total of five thunderstorms, which can be called "five thunders on the top", made Qiu Mingxuan extremely sour.

That's right.

Qiu Mingxuan crossed over again.

This time, he came to the world of divine carvings in the late Southern Song Dynasty and became the son of a blacksmith in Xiangyang City, known as "Qiu Dalang" by others.

What's more, Qiu Mingxuan drew the innate skills, and unexpectedly won [Thunder Body], and was struck by lightning five times in a row out of thin air in a clear and empty day, which can be called "five lightning strikes", which made Qiu Mingxuan's physique mutated.

At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly, feeling the terrifying and astonishing power in his body.

Qiu Mingxuan's [Thunder Body] seemed to be able to control the power of thunder and lightning. He lowered his head and snapped his fingers along the way, "cracking" between his fingers, and there were subtle arcs flickering, which made Qiu Mingxuan secretly excited.

"This innate skill is quite interesting!" Qiu Mingxuan's eyes shot brightly.

He has practiced both external and internal skills, but this time he was so lucky that he could directly control the power of lightning. Wouldn't it take off in the world of Condor Gods?

He is looking forward to what he will become and what kind of magical power he will have at the end of his practice.

of course.

The most urgent task at the moment is to go home to retreat and learn a martial art suitable for him.

This time, his identity is the son of a blacksmith, and he did not join the sect to practice martial arts, so he had to rely on his two generations of martial arts background to create martial arts.

In this regard, Qiu Mingxuan was confident, not flustered, and full of confidence.

……

Xiangyang City, west of the city.

Qiu Mingxuan walked into a blacksmith's shop with striding strides, a pair of piercing eyes, and a faint smile on his face.

On the flag of the blacksmith shop, five small characters were embroidered: "Qiu's Blacksmith Shop".

Entering the blacksmith's shop, a hot temperature hit. A strong old man was clanging in front of the fire, bowing his head to forge a weapon. Judging by the standard, it was a long knife with a wide and long blade and a sharp blade. There was a cold light in the blacksmith's shop.

This person is Qiu Mingxuan's father, Qiu Blacksmith.

"Father, I'm back."

Entering the blacksmith's shop, Qiu Mingxuan shouted, habitually picked up the blacksmith's hammer, walked to the fire, and cooperated with his father to forge the long knife.

Clinking in the blacksmith's shop, the long knife collided with the blacksmith's hammer, bursting out a string of sparks.

Qiu Mingxuan and Qiu Tiejiang father and son, you hammer, I hammer, each other's movements are skillful, there is a strange rhythm, so that Qiu Mingxuan is immersed in it, forgetting the passage of time.

"so fun!"

Unknowingly, it was getting dark and the fire in the blacksmith shop was bright. Blacksmith Qiu sealed the stove and walked into the yard behind the blacksmith shop together with Qiu Mingxuan.

"The third aunt came to our door today, and I wanted to tell you about our marriage. She is the second daughter of Cai Ji's tailor shop on the opposite street. It is said that she looks handsome, has a gentle personality, knows how to be a girl, and can read and write. Your mother and I have heard you well, and I want to ask your opinion. If you nod, the marriage will be settled."

When he walked into the yard, Blacksmith Qiu had a sullen face and spoke in a low voice. Although his tone was calm, there was also a bit of anticipation.

"Father, I don't want to start a family for now."

Qiu Mingxuan said with a wry smile.

"Ok?"

In an instant, Blacksmith Qiu paused, and said angrily with a sullen face: "You are eighteen, what can you do if you don't have a family, your mother and I are still waiting to have grandchildren, and the blood of our Qiu family has not yet been passed down..."

Qiu Mingxuan's head hurts.

This matter is done, and I will marry a daughter-in-law just after time travel.

However, Qiu Mingxuan just thought it was troublesome. He had married so many women that he was already immune, so after listening for a while, he hurriedly interrupted Qiu Tiejiang.

"It's all right, I'll listen to you. I only have one request. The daughter-in-law must be beautiful. Even if you give the matchmaker more money, you must marry a beautiful wife. Otherwise, I will not be able to have this child!"

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tiejiang scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, put on a show!"

After speaking, he walked forward slowly.

Under the moonlight, a face full of vicissitudes, with shining eyes, looked very happy.

Qiu Mingxuan's mother is a virtuous woman, called "Wu's", and everyone around her is called "Ms. Wu". She is short and fat, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. She does housework at home, does laundry, cooks, feeds chickens and ducks, and can weave. She is a very good woman.

In the dim room, an oil lamp was lit, and the three members of the Qiu family were chatting after eating. When they talked about "the third aunt's matchmaking", the couple were very interested.

On the contrary, Qiu Mingxuan bowed his head in deep thought, as if thinking about something.

"Da Lang, why don't you talk? Are you dissatisfied with the daughter of the Cai family?"
