Chapter 921 Master, I want to learn martial arts!
"I have long heard that there are often ghosts and miraculous things happening near Lin'an Mansion. Now that I see it, it is indeed true!"
The heroic young man stood up, glanced at the dark alley in front of him, turned to look at the direction in which the Jiangyang thieves were leaving, and murmured: "Not long ago, Mr. Bao arrived at Lin'an Mansion, and he said that he was going to clean it up..."
After saying that, he jumped up and disappeared over the eaves in the distance like flying.
In the alley, in a place invisible to the naked eye, Master Zishan pressed Xu Xian's shoulder with one hand and looked solemnly at the direction in which the heroic young man left.
Although this heroic young man was powerless and couldn't even see through the deception he used, his own strength was quite impressive.
Especially when he glanced across the alley just now, even Master Zishan couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
...This person is definitely a martial arts master-level existence on earth!
And he is the kind of peerless master who can fight against the great demon with his martial arts and true energy alone.
If coupled with the dragon-tiger aura and red-dust fire that he possesses as an official, even Master Zishan has to admit that at this time, he may not be able to confront this mysterious master head-on.
When did such a master appear in the world?
Master Zishan frowned, feeling secretly shocked.
And it's not just him, the Jiangyang thief just now is actually outrageous. His Qinggong is so exquisite and fast that it is comparable to Taoist escape skills. How can it be regarded as Qinggong!
"Has martial arts in the human world evolved to this extent?"
Master Zishan sighed in his heart, and then couldn't help but turn his attention to Xu Xian.
If before, he only planned to let Xu Xian enter martial arts because of his qualifications, then now, he has already seen the profound potential of human martial arts.
If he could extract powerful martial arts techniques from the system's Sutra Pavilion, he might not be much weaker than the Immortal Dao.
Thinking of this, Master Zishan raised his hand and patted Xu Xian's dumb hole.
Xu Xian regained his speech function and said excitedly: "Master, why did you tell him the whereabouts of that hero?"
Master Zishan glanced at him and said, "He is an official and I am a citizen. Isn't it natural for the officials and the people to cooperate?"
Xu Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then retorted: "But that hero, he is a good person!"
Master Zishan laughed: "How do you know?"
Xu Xian said solemnly: "He robbed the rich and gave to the poor and helped the neighbors. Isn't that a good person?"
"Not necessarily." Master Zishan said with a chuckle, "What if on the surface he is stealing official silver and robbing the rich to give to the poor, but in fact he has a more important and deadly goal?"
Xu Xian was slightly startled.
Master Zishan continued: "For example, if he wants to take this opportunity to divert the government's attention, secretly have his accomplices sneak in and assassinate the governor, or simply raise a flag to rebel, cooperate inside and outside, and seize the city secretly?"
"this……"
Xu Xian looked hesitant.
After a moment, he shook his head, pointed to a dilapidated window in front of him and said: "Master, I don't know what you are talking about, but I know that Uncle Liu buried his mother last year and borrowed two taels of silver, and now he has made a lot of money." At twenty-eight taels, Uncle Liu was unable to repay, so the moneylenders would go to his stall every day to eat and drink for free. Sometimes they would beat him up for fun after drinking. "
"But just now, the hero threw at least thirty taels of silver into Uncle Liu's house. This shows that he knew about Uncle Liu's affairs, so he deliberately scattered some more silver taels, so that Uncle Liu could pay back the money. Debt, get rid of those evil people who lend money..."
Hearing Xu Xian's words, Master Zishan was slightly startled and looked at the child with some surprise, as if he didn't expect that he could say such a thing.
Facing Xu Xian's serious gaze, Master Zishan came back to his senses with a smile on his face.
"He is indeed a good boy."
He smiled and reached out his hand to touch the boy's head.
"However, some things are not as simple as you think!"
"Taking a step back, if the thief...the hero really had good intentions and only wanted to disperse the wealth, then what he did was too rough."
"Your uncle Liu's biggest problem now is not the silver and repaying the debt, but that he has been targeted by those vampires. Even if he takes out the silver, he will not be able to get rid of them."
"To give you the simplest example, the official silver in the warehouse is currently being stolen. If those people insist on saying that the silver he used to repay his debt is the stolen official silver, how can he explain it?"
"Or more directly, after knowing that your Uncle Liu has money, he first excuses himself, then secretly sends someone to steal it, refuses to admit it, and continues to eat this honest man. What can he do?"
Hearing Master Zishan's repeated questions, Xu Xian opened his mouth blankly, unable to argue.
After a moment, he lowered his head dejectedly and said in despair: "Are honest people destined to be bullied?"
Master Zishan raised his hand and touched his head, and said softly: "If kindness cannot bloom, let it grow thorns. If you really want to help those kind-hearted poor people, then learn from your teacher. I will personally stand up for you, Uncle Liu, in the future."
This is another benefit of learning martial arts.
Although immortal cultivators have long lifespans and possess magical powers, it is not easy for them to interfere in human affairs until they have reached a certain level of cultivation.
But martial arts is different. Martial arts are human skills. Even if you become a martial arts immortal, you can still interfere in the human world, and even serve as an official in the court without any scruples.
If I had to say there were any shortcomings, it would probably be that he lacked magical powers and was easily tricked, and his lifespan was the same as that of ordinary people before he became an immortal.
After hearing Master Zishan's words, Xu Xian's expression changed for a while, and finally his expression became firm, he raised his head and said, "Master, I want to learn martial arts!"
"Okay, okay!"
Master Zishan touched his head with joy, then raised his hand to grab his collar, and said with a smile: "The way to practice martial arts is to practice three nines in winter and three days in summer. You can't rush for a while, and prepare for the master in one day." , I’ll show you in tomorrow.”
"As for now, let's follow up and take a look!"
After saying that, Master Zishan lifted his feet off the ground, and Xu Xian floated up with an excited look on his face.
When passing by Uncle Liu's house, Master Zishan waved his sleeves and took away most of the thirty taels of silver, leaving only five taels so that Liu could spend a relatively stable period, lest the other party take them all in one go. Coming out to pay off debts arouses suspicion and covetation.
Of course, as long as Master Zishan wants to, he can help Uncle Liu survive this disaster.
But after all, he is a demon king who has lived for more than four hundred years. How could he be as innocent and kind as Xu Xian?
To be honest, if he didn't want Xu Xian to solve it himself in the future, Master Zishan wouldn't even bother to do such a simple thing.
As the saying goes, there is nothing new in the world. In the past hundreds of years of experience, Master Zishan has seen too many things like this!
Not long after, Master Zishan flew in the air with his disciple, looking at the two figures flying by under his feet with black lines on his head.
Are these two guys really warriors?
Why is this Qing Gong faster than he can fly on the clouds?
Thinking of this, Master Zishan sighed and couldn't help but glance at the disciple beside him who was looking at his feet with excitement.
As an essence of earth and stone, Zishan Zhenren's fastest way to travel is the earth escape technique.
But it's a pity that he is currently leading his apprentice, and he is really embarrassed to use the earth escape technique, which is a very low-level method, to rush on the road.
In comparison, although Jiayun is a bit slower, he is still full of character and immortality...
Thinking of this, Master Zishan looked thoughtful, and suddenly the clouds descended and landed on the roof.
Xu Xian touched the ground with his feet, raised his head, and asked doubtfully: "Master, what's wrong?"
Master Zishan said softly: "The big thief is very good at lightness. The people in the government behind him should be unable to catch up with him."
Xu Xian was delighted when he heard this: "Really? That's great!"
Master Zishan looked at Xu Xian's expression and saw that the joy on his face was not fake, so he sighed: "It seems that there is nothing to watch tonight. My good disciple, I will send you back to your room to rest first and recuperate your energy for tomorrow morning." , go into the mountains to look for me again, do you understand?”
Xu Xian perked up and nodded solemnly: "I understand!"
Master Zishan looked pleased, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then took him back to Black Pearl Alley.
After putting Xu Xian down, Master Zishan disappeared and flew up on the clouds. He looked at the green mountains and green waters in the distance and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The apprentice must recharge his batteries, and he cannot be idle. He must prepare well for tomorrow.
…
…
The next day, Xu Xian came to Baozhitang early in the morning. After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, he carried the medicine basket on his back and went into the mountains to collect medicine excitedly.
On the way, he deliberately stopped in front of Uncle Liu's soup cake stall. Seeing that Uncle Liu looked normal and seemed to have not noticed the silver coins left at home last night, he breathed a sigh of relief and left with peace of mind.
But what he didn't notice was that at the noodle stall, a handsome man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes was sitting at the table. He was wearing white clothes and holding a folding fan, looking at his back thoughtfully.
After Xu Xian left, the man in white raised his hand to call the stall owner, and asked Xu Xian's identity seemingly casually.
The stall owner surnamed Liu didn't care. He told Xu Xian's identity with a smile and praised him as a polite and kind boy.
"Xu Xian?"
The handsome man in white murmured in a low voice, and his mind could not help but recall the young man and Taoist priest in the alley last night.
"interesting!"
The handsome man in white raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "Bao Gong is coming, and there is a mysterious Taoist, Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, and the secret book thief who disturbed the surrounding sects last night..."
"There are really more and more ghosts and snake gods in Lin'an Mansion!"
…
…
On the other side, Xu Xian, who came to the mountain, was quickly taken into the newly opened cave by Master Zishan.
As soon as he walked into the cave, the excitement and anticipation on Xu Xian's face had not subsided before he felt a wave of heat and a pungent smell that was difficult to describe in words.
Xu Xian quickly covered his mouth and nose, widened his eyes, and looked at the pool of steaming white steam in front of him, like an oven.
"Master, what is this?"
Master Zishan smiled slightly and said proudly: "This is the beard made from the essence of ginseng that has been mastered for thousands of years... The root is the main medicine, supplemented by various heaven and earth spiritual things. It only takes three, nine and twenty-seven days to make the best medicinal bath. It can help you cross the three realms of body training and reach the three levels and nine apertures!”
