The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun
Page 22
“Xiantian Gong is the supreme divine skill of our Taoism…”
Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile, and then the smile became bigger and bigger, and he even laughed out loud.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
“Our Huashan Sect should prosper!”
Even with Jiang Ning’s great composure, he couldn’t help but feel happy.
With the Xiantian Gong, the supreme Taoist skill, the Huashan Sect truly had a chance to rise, a chance to be on par with Wudang and Shaolin, or even surpass them to become the number one sect in the world.
Although Wudang’s Tai Chi swordsmanship and Shaolin’s Yi Jin Jing are both supreme martial arts that have been famous for hundreds of years, Taoism’s Xiantian Gong only showed its power in Wang Chongyang and was lost afterwards. However, as a treasure of Taoism, Xiantian Gong, even if not as good as Wudang’s Tai Chi and Shaolin’s Yi Jin Jing, is not much weaker.
Jiang Ning tightly grasped the tortoise shell in his hand, as if grasping the future fate of Huashan Sect.
“hold head high?”
Maodou looked at his owner’s expression and cried out in confusion, not knowing what his owner was so happy about.
After taking a look at the edamame, Jiang Ning’s joyful mood calmed down a little, and he continued to look at the small words on the turtle shell.
“Those with a pure Yang body are best at practicing this technique. People with a non-pure Yang body will progress slowly and need to use internal force to assist in their practice…”
After hearing this, the joy on Jiang Ning’s face faded a little.
Xiantian Gong is a Taoist practice. According to Taoism, a pure yang body is the body of a virgin, and Jiang Ning can be satisfied with this.
He is a virgin!
What made him hesitate was that Yue Buqun was almost sixty years old and was no longer a virgin.
Even if Yue Buqun put in the same determination as he did in practicing the Book of the Exorcist Sword to practice the Xiantian Kung, his progress would be very slow at the beginning, and he would not be able to improve his strength in a short period of time.
However, after thinking about it, Jiang Ning felt that this was not a big problem. Although it was a little slow, at least it was better than being a eunuch, right?
Anyway, Yue Buqun has already obtained the lost sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, which is a great improvement to his strength.
Jiang Ning took a look and saw that the words behind these were the cultivation methods of Xiantian Gong. He first read them carefully and memorized the cultivation formulas in his heart. Then he put the turtle shell on the ground and changed his wet clothes.
It is unknown how long this turtle shell has been passed down, and whether those words were carved by Wang Chongyang. When Jiang Ning held it just now, he found that it was very hard, like steel. It is also unknown what species this turtle was when it was alive.
After taking out other clothes from the bag, Jiang Ning changed his clothes, and then took out a bell wrapped in gold silk from the wet clothes.
He found this bell in the dressing table. He didn’t know what it was used for, but he thought it must be something from the Tomb Sweep Sect, so Jiang Ning took it away.
The texture of this golden silk is very good. It has not become fibrous even after being placed in the ancient tomb for so many years. Jiang Ning pulled it hard and found that it was also very tough.
Jiang Ning patted Maodou’s head and said with a smile: “I’ll give you a gift.”
“hold head high?”
Maodou looked at the bell in Jiang Ning’s hand with his bright big eyes, full of curiosity.
Jiang Ning tied a bell around its neck. As Maodou’s head shook, the bell made crisp sounds, which made Maodou shake his head faster, as if he was playing with some fun toy.
“Hahaha.”
Looking at its humorous appearance, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh.
He was not a cold person, but when he first came to this world, he saw the knife of the horse bandit about to chop him down as soon as he opened his eyes. If Yue Buqun had not rescued him in time, he would have said goodbye to this world as soon as he arrived.
After knowing that the person who saved him was Yue Buqun, and knowing the future fate of Huashan Sect and Yue Buqun, Jiang Ning has always had a sense of urgency in his heart. This sense of urgency forced him to practice hard in order to do his part.
Yue Buqun saved him, raised him, taught him martial arts, and did not ask for anything in return. He treated him like his own son. Jiang Ning did not know how to repay this kindness, so he could only give Yue Buqun everything he had.
Chapter 32: Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties
Chapter 32: Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties
After obtaining the Xiantian Gong, Jiang Ning’s main purpose of going down the mountain had been achieved. There was no need to stay in Zhongnan Mountain any longer. Jiang Ning took Maodou’s hand and went down the mountain along the same mountain road they came from.
However, when passing a mountain road, Jiang Ning unexpectedly saw the man he had seen before. At this time, he was crying in front of a grave mound, and his voice was ups and downs and quite rhythmic.
“Oh my~~Brother Ziyan~~”
Jiang Ning didn’t look at it any further and continued down the mountain.
Having already obtained the Xiantian Gong, Jiang Ning wanted to return to Huashan first to give it to Yue Buqun. However, he then remembered that nearly half a month had passed and Yue Buqun and the Huashan disciples might have been on their way to Xiangyang. There was no one in Huashan at this time, so it was useless for him to go back.
Since it’s a rare opportunity to go down the mountain, you might as well walk around and gain some experience and see what the world is like.
Jiang Ning planned to go to Xi’an Prefecture first. This big city was the closest to him, only a few dozen miles away. It was only noon now, and he could reach Xi’an in the afternoon.
First go to Xi’an, then go to Xiangyang to meet up with Master Yue Buqun and his mistress Ning Zhongze. After handing over the Xiantian Gong to Yue Buqun, go back to practice, and then go to Sichuan to visit the Qingcheng Sect.
“Walk.”
After getting down the mountain, Jiang Ning sat on Maodou’s back, patted its head and said.
Maodou’s eyes suddenly lit up.
These days, it has been standing by the pond watching Jiang Ning going in and out of the water. It has no idea what he is doing and it is getting bored. When it hears Jiang Ning’s words, it grins with its big teeth and starts running wildly, and the bell under its neck also makes a crisp sound.
Sitting on Maodou’s back, Jiang Ning’s eyes were brighter than before.
Xi’an.
Formerly known as Chang’an, it was the capital of six dynasties, including Qin, Western Han, Eastern Han, Jin, Sui and Tang. It has a long history. However, the capital was no longer located here since the Yuan Dynasty, and Chang’an became an ordinary city. It was renamed Xi’an in the Ming Dynasty and has remained so until now.
But even so, this ancient city is still one of the four ancient capitals and is very famous. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it was very prosperous.
It was Jiangning’s first time to visit Xi’an. The city wall of Xi’an is very magnificent. Once you enter the city, you will find out how prosperous this ancient city is.
There were bustling crowds of people and traffic, and bursts of noise in the air. At a glance, there were endless rows of antique buildings. The streets were full of bustling people, including gangsters, scholars, peddlers, and all kinds of people.
“Move aside, you’re blocking the way.”
A slightly arrogant voice came from behind him. Jiang Ning turned around and saw a young man in luxurious clothes talking to him, followed by several men dressed as servants.
Originally, these men were going to push Jiang Ning away, but they were stopped by the young nobleman. He saw the sword hanging on Maodou’s body and knew that Jiang Ning was a man of the world.
When he was out, his father warned him not to be too arrogant if he met these gangsters, because they were all desperate criminals. The young man listened to him.
Jiang Ning glanced at him, then took Maodou to the side. He was going to go to the clothing store to buy a piece of clothing first.
Although the cloth clothes he bought before were well-made, two of them were torn when he was exploring the bottom of the pool.
“Ah.”
Seeing Jiang Ning’s actions, the young man chuckled and then walked over with a swagger.
Jiang Ning looked at him, then at the people on the street. Some of them were wearing very rough cloth and had yellow faces, which formed a sharp contrast with the luxurious silk on this man.
No wonder there are always some people who want to rob the rich and help the poor. Just looking at this young man’s arrogance, Jiang Ning wants to deal with him.
However, this guy just had a bad attitude, and he was indeed blocking the way, so Jiang Ning had no intention of teaching him a lesson.
With powerful military force that is difficult for the secular world to control, what comes with it is a gradually expanding heart. When faced with a little bit of dissatisfaction, you will find it unbearable and want to do whatever you want. What can be restrained is good, and what cannot be restrained is evil.
He who possesses violence is strong; he who knows how to restrain violence is powerful.
The young man was just a minor episode, Jiang Ning did not care about it, but took Maodou for a walk around the ancient city, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Although Maodou is a donkey, it is rare to see such a tall donkey.
After wandering around the city for half a day, Jiang Ning finally found a clothing store.
Compared with the small garment shop in Huayin County, this one is obviously much bigger, and the fabrics on display look very expensive.
Jiang Ning hesitated, wondering whether to change to another store.
After all, although he had a huge sum of several hundred taels of cash on him, some luxury items were the most expensive, and clothes were one of them.
These fabrics looked very expensive, and he might have spent them the night before the liberation after buying them.
However, he wandered around for a long time before finally finding a ready-made clothing store. If he wanted to find another one, he didn’t know where else would be open.
“Sir, I see you’ve been standing at the door for a while, would you like to come in and take a look?”
Just when Jiang Ning was hesitating, a man who looked like a clerk walked out of the shop. He looked at Jiang Ning and smiled.
“Our clothes are made of high-quality fabrics and are reasonably priced. They are ranked among the best in Xi’an Prefecture and are loved by many customers. We guarantee that you will be satisfied.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning walked towards the store.
Come here.
As soon as you enter the store, you will see luxurious and exquisite clothes hanging in the store. Some of them are not even as good as those worn by Yue Buqun.
There weren’t many customers in the store, but there were a few, mostly young people, both men and women, and judging by their clothes they didn’t look like those of ordinary people.
There was also a clerk beside them who introduced the clothes in the store to them.
“Sir, what color do you like? Do you have any requirements for the style of the clothes?”
The guy was talking and laughing behind Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and said.
“Blue or cyan is fine, something a little plainer and simpler.”
The clerk nodded repeatedly after listening, then went to a corner of the store, took out a piece of clothing and brought it over.
“Sir, how do you think of this one?”
Jiang Ning looked over after hearing this.
The overall color of the clothes is light blue, without any extra patterns on it, it is quite simple. The collar is light green, with patterns embroidered on it with silk stitch by stitch. These patterns are fresh and elegant. The edge of the clothes is white, and the workmanship is very good.
“Well, how much silver?”
Jiang Ning nodded and asked.
The waiter smiled and held up three fingers: “Three taels of silver.”
It is much more expensive than the three cloth clothes I bought before.
Jiang Ning tried to make the price as cheap as possible, but he didn’t expect it would cost three taels of silver.
“Sir, this dress is made of the finest silk, stitch by stitch. Look at the threads, the workmanship, and the silk sewing on it. Three taels of silver is very affordable.”
“We have a discount in our store right now. If you buy now, you can get 20% off and a belt for free. Where else can you find such a good store?”
The guy was raving about this dress.
But what he said was true, the dress was really nice.
