Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 32 Young People Don't Be Too Sharp

Chen Jin stayed at Izumo Temple and lived a regular and fulfilling life: he practiced swordsmanship during the day, sacrificed swordsmanship at night, and practiced "The Invisibility Method of Ten Thousand Zhangs of Red Dust" and so on.

Gu Leyou went down the mountain, first returned to Goutoupo Yizhuang, took the buried silver, and then went to the city to deliver the errand with the yamen.

His errand tenure is complete.

When he came back, he was quite resentful, saying that he was being followed all the way by someone sent by Manager Huang:

"The son of a bitch!"

Chen Jin asked, "About making money, what are your plans?"

Gu Leyou sighed: "Some utensils in the temple can be sold, which can solve the urgent need. Then go to the city to see if there is any work."

Chen Jin pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Can you teach me how to forge a sword?"

Gu Leyou readily agreed: "It's just handicraft work, no problem."

So Chen Jin learned another sword-making technique, and just used the ready-made workshop of the Taoist temple, as well as various tools and materials, to upgrade and build the Conservation Sword.

Seeing Chen Jin wielding the hammer, Gu Leyou couldn't help sighing: "Scholar, you are so capable."

Chen Jin always felt that these words meant something, and there was ambiguity.

A few days later, the Conservation Sword has undergone considerable changes. It is no longer a dark and rough sword embryo, but has gradually revealed its edge and has taken shape.

Gu Leyou also helped to make a pair of sword cases to hold the Conservation Sword.

The dharma sword is different from ordinary swords, and it is not suitable to use a leather sheath, so a special sword case must be used.

Chen Jin was very satisfied, and then thought of a question: He couldn't live on the mountain all the time, and he would have to go back to the city and Laoqiu Village sooner or later, how would he bring this sword with him then?
There are many martial arts heroes in the Qian Dynasty. Except for bows, crossbows and armor, general swords are not prohibited.Especially after the turmoil, people feel insecure and it is more common for people to carry weapons.It's just that Chen Jin wasn't ready for a showdown with his uncle and the others: he was originally a frail scholar, but in a short period of time, he suddenly started wielding knives and guns, which easily aroused suspicion.

At least there must be a transition period.

He asked Qiu Bao'er to learn martial arts, one of the factors was to lay a ground for future explanations.

Chen Jin went to ask Gu Leyou if he had any magic weapons such as "storage rings".

Gu Leyou was stupefied when he heard that, and replied: "That kind of magic weapon is unheard of, but there is a 'jutsu of the sky', which can hide changes and store things."

Chen Jin said pleasantly: "Where can I learn?"

Gu Leyou looked at him like an idiot: "Scholar, do you think Taoism Nuoshu is the same as the classics you read, and they are sold in major bookstores?"

Chen Jin smiled: "I'm just a newcomer, how do I know much?"

Gu Leyou immediately explained that although he was only half-baked, after all, he had followed his master for many years and traveled through the rivers and lakes, and he had much more experience than Chen Jin.

Chen Jin listened carefully and benefited a lot.

In this world blocked by the Dao of Immortals and Buddhas, the practice system has been fragmented.Originally there was the Dao of Longevity and the righteousness of the primordial spirit...but now it is the sect Nuo technique that is popular. , Tiangang was lost, only the fragments of Earth Sha have been handed down to the world..."

It is a remnant, and after a long period of inheritance and evolution, there are countless branch Nuo techniques derived from it, but their functional power is greatly reduced, far from the original version.

For example, those "sitting on fire", "breathing flames", "swallowing knives", "continuing the head", "making pills" and so on, are now all street juggling tricks, which can only fool some ignorant people and make money. ;
There are also many practical ones, such as the "Three Demon Scrolls" owned by Gu Leyou. The three spells are quite distinctive and have wonderful uses; there are also "Yongzi Eight Swords" mastered by Chen Jin, and "Wanzhang Hongchen Invisible" which is currently being learned. Law", etc.

However, these swordsmanship and rectification methods have high requirements on the primordial spirit. Gu Leyou's fundamental aptitude is already considered good, but after studying Dao for more than ten years, he has only learned superficially.

It is not easy to get the real skills, but it is even more difficult to master them.

Gu Leyou felt very speechless about Chen Jin's behavior of wanting to learn this and that for a while, and what was even more speechless was that Chen Jin seemed to be quite good at it...

How about comparing people to people and making people mad?
"Scholar, you are talented and have extraordinary swordsmanship. You should focus on this and don't be distracted. Manpower will eventually run out. As long as you practice your swordsmanship well, you can break through ten thousand spells with one sword. Distracted."

Chen Jin nodded and said, "I understand."

Gu Leyou talked about great truths, but the reality was embarrassing, and he couldn't stay in the temple to practice with peace of mind.After a few days, I packed up a large cart of things that could be sold, such as medicinal herbs, wine, and various weapons. I also brought my Taoist boy Liu Yuan and starlings, and went down the mountain to the city to sell goods and find work to make money.

In fact, there are many villages around Wuling, which are densely populated, but most of the villagers believe in the Five Immortals, so please have the Immortals of Baojia.Therefore, when I was on the mountain, the incense of Izumo Temple was bleak, and other temples were not much better.They are based here mainly because they are greedy for the vitality of the spiritual veins here, which is beneficial to practice.

Not to mention competing with the Xian family for incense, my family has to pay a considerable amount of offerings to the Xian family every year in order to stay.

The nature of the relationship is similar to that of a landlord and a tenant.

Gu Leyou and Liu Yuan went to the city to find money, and Chen Jin was left alone at the Taoist temple, but he couldn't eat dry food.He began to hunt in and out of the jurisdiction of the Taoist temple, searching for mineral yams and so on.

Hunting is a skill at hand, you need to master the slingshot and crossbow, set up traps, etc.; as for the technology of prospecting and finding medicine, you also learned some skills when you were learning how to forge swords.

Wuling is rich in products, and there are many birds and animals. As long as you have the means, you don’t have to worry about meat. There is also a special fungus, whether it is boiled in soup or fried, it is very delicious and nutritious; Daoist Yun and the others have been mining, and basically all the valuable good things have been taken away.Chen Jin also had no ability to dig out what was hidden deep in the stratum.

Before leaving, Gu Leyou once told him not to cross the border and go into the sphere of influence of other families, as that would cause conflicts, disputes, and even fights.

Chen Jin was active around the Izumo Temple, and occasionally went to the Youchen Temple.

The Youchen Temple has been abolished, and that area is already a land without an owner.

On this day, Chen Jin ran into Manager Huang outside Youchenguan.

Although he had never met the other party before, he had heard the description of Mr. Huang from Gu Leyou's mouth, so he recognized him at a glance.

Manager Huang is a human being, not a yellow man.

The immortals rarely show their real bodies, and they need someone to represent them in the mundane world.

Compared with the porters and grooms, Manager Huang's status is obviously much higher. He is a "horse head" and manages a large number of grooms and porters.

"Are you that young swordsman?"

Manager Huang's voice was shrill and cold.

Chen Jin asked: "What's the matter?"

Manager Huang snorted: "I don't know where you came from and what your background is, but when you get to the mountains, you have to behave yourself."

Chen Jin smiled: "Am I not following the rules now?"

Manager Huang narrowed his eyes: "This is the best."

After finishing speaking, he left, and after walking a few steps, he turned back suddenly: "I don't like your attitude and tone of voice. It's normal for young people to be sharp, and they always feel that they are fearless, but I warn you: you are too sharp. Sheng, tends to die very quickly."

Chen Jin shrugged: "Everyone is going to die, isn't it?"

Manager Huang left in a huff.

Chen Jin resisted the urge to draw his sword. With the Conservation Sword, his understanding of the way of the sword went further, and he practiced the fourth and fifth swords.

The hook is for picking, and the lifting is for blocking!

Different from the simple, upright, and indomitable main attack style of the first three poses, the sword picking pose and sword blocking pose began to have changes and defenses.

Both offense and defense are in line with the true meaning of "Fang Zheng Zhongyong" in "Yong Zi Ba Jian".

The mean is impartial, without faults and without faults.It is neither slanted, nor pedantic.

Chen Jin is no longer satisfied with stabbing fallen leaves, mosquitoes, rats and ants. He wants to find someone to test the sword to see if the sword is sharp enough?
Waiting to return to Izumo Temple.

"Friend, please stay."

A person stepped out and waved.

(Grandpas of book lovers, please stop!)
