Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 8 008, the three masters

Shen Lang followed the young policeman Zhu Hu out of the lobby, and followed him to the east of Zhuangzi.

"Eastern Zhuangzi has finished copying, and there are plenty of places to live, which are still very quiet. Later, brother, I will pick a yard for you, Xiao Shen, from the young master of the Wang family, so that you can live comfortably."

"Hey, thank you, Brother Zhu!"

"It's easy to say, Master Mu's order, I dare not fool you brother casually. Besides, you and I are both cat lovers... Then what, my brother's responsibility was so offending, brother, don't take it to heart."

"Where is it? It's my own bad luck. I bumped into it ignorantly. No wonder Brother Zhu."

"Haha, brother Shen is open-minded."

Walking and chatting along the way, Xu Shi has almost cleared the suspicion, or saw that Shen Lang had a relationship with Mu Qingxue relying on Xiao Zhao, or maybe it was the sympathy of cat lovers, in short, I wish Hu Hu this moment Chatting with Shen Lang was quite pleasant.

Shen Lang also took the opportunity to ask a question:
"Brother Zhu, Mr. Mu is from a famous family, right?"

Zhu Huqi said:

"Brother Shen, why do you think so?"

Shen Lang also looked surprised:
"Isn't it? She is a third-rank senior member at a young age!"

Zhu Hu laughed and said:
"The official ranks of the head-captors in the God-Catching Hall of the Ministry of Justice are all five-rank doctor of the Ministry of Justice. The so-called 'three-rank head-captor' means that Mr. Mu has a third-rank martial arts cultivation. How come Brother Shen doesn't even know this."

With a calm face, Shen Lang pointed to his forehead:

"Brother Zhu, you forgot? I don't remember anything."

"..." Zhu Hu was speechless, "Brother Shen, your words and deeds are all right, and there is nothing unusual about you, so I can't consciously forget this, brother."

Shen Lang laughed dryly and asked again:
"Brother Zhu, tell me, what's the situation with the martial arts cultivation base of the third rank? And what you said to the head catcher before, tell me about high-rank Taoist priests, magic weapons, etc. Bah. You know, I forgot everything."

Seeing his curious face, Zhu Hu was speechless. For most people with a little knowledge, this is basic common sense.

However, in the face of a patient suffering from "lost soul disease", Zhu Hu couldn't say much. Besides, he was also a talkative person, so he immediately talked:

"My country of Great Chu has two major paths of practice, one literary and one martial, which are Taoism and martial arts.

"Taoism and martial arts are both graded by official rank, from ninth rank to first rank. Ninth rank is the lowest and first rank is the highest. Regardless of Taoism, it is too far away from us. I live to be 25 years old, and I will only ask Mr. Mu What a blessing, I once used a magic weapon made by a high-grade Taoist priest, hehe, it happened to be used on you, brother Shen. So, let's not talk about magic, but martial arts.

"In this martial arts practice, the ninth rank is for strength training, the eighth rank is for muscles and bones, the seventh rank is for viscera, the sixth rank is for internal strength, the fifth rank is for external release, the fourth rank is for true qi, the third rank is for condensing acupoints, the second rank is for stellar qi, and the first rank is for internal strength." Primordial spirit. Martial arts rank two can be called a master, and rank one can be called a grand master.

"Master Mu is a third rank in martial arts. Looking at the whole world, he is also a great master. He is enough to control a place and be powerful."

Shen Lang listened with gusto, and immediately cheered:
"How high is the third rank of martial arts?"

"Very tall!" Zhu Hu made gestures and spit all over the place:
"Did you not see how majestic Mr. Mu was when he attacked Wangjiazhuang before.

"The second and third masters of the Wang family are both fifth-rank masters who can release their internal strength to the outside. One can strike a palm wind, and the other can strike a ten-step fist. Both of them have the power to break monuments and rocks.

"If they take advantage of the terrain and rely on their body skills to swim and fight, and if they don't charge head-on, one or two hundred musketeers will have nothing to do with them.

"But it's just these two masters who didn't even walk in front of Mrs. Mu, and gave her a couple of swipes, like chopping melons and vegetables!"

Shen Lang asked again:

"How did Mr. Mu chop off those two fifth-rank masters from the Wang family?"

I wish Tiger spread his hands:
"I do not know."

Shen Lang was stunned:

"do not know?"

Zhu Hu rolled his eyes and said angrily:

"I'm just a seventh-rank martial artist, I haven't even developed my internal strength, how can I see clearly the moves of a third-rank master?
"Anyway, I saw Mrs. Mu lift up her cloak, so I lifted up a corner of the black cloak she was wearing, and then I saw a golden light flash, and my eyes dazzled, and the second and third children of the Wang family who were twenty steps away Heads have fallen to the ground.

"As for what that golden light is, I don't know."

Zhu Hu talked about this great mastery, but he still didn't make it clear what kind of powerful method a third-rank master is.

To be honest, listening to this is almost useless. It is difficult for Shen Lang to have a clear understanding of the strength of a third-rank master.

It's not as clear as Zhu Hu's description of a fifth-rank master before: one foot in the palm of the hand, ten steps of fist strength, and cracking stones. How clear is this?

But there is no way, Zhu Hu is just a small seventh-rank warrior, and he really can't see the moves of the third-rank warrior, and he really can't estimate the strength of the third-rank warrior. At most, there are only some hearsay rumors, not necessarily complete. Reliable.

"Anyway, I've heard that third-rank warriors condense their acupoints, and their true qi is incomparably powerful. Under the protective body of true qi, they can face the bombardment of a row of guns. As long as their true qi is not broken, they will not be afraid of ordinary shells. Their physical strength is also almost limitless." , the vitality is extremely tenacious, not only can recover quickly after being injured, but also has very few vital points. It is said that unless the head is cut off, or the heart is pulled out, the third-rank warrior cannot be killed.

"As for the masters of the second-rank Stellar Qi Realm, I don't know much about it. On the contrary, there are only a few great masters of martial arts in the whole Dachu, and the names are too big, so I still know some of them."

Shen Lang is very interested in the question:
"Oh? Who are the first-rank martial arts masters?"

Zhu Hu wrenched his fingers and counted one by one:

"The first one is the official third-rank servant of the Ministry of Punishment, the master of the gods arresting hall, the gods arresting, the 'leader of heroes' Yan Tianying. The bombardment of bar guns can even shake heavy shells with a pair of ruthless iron hands.

"The second one is a Buddhist Zen Master, known as 'Slaying Arhat', who kills like hemp, and has a reputation for viciousness.

"The third one, named 'Seven Seas Dragon King', is the owner of Suiye Island in Nanyang. He dominates Suiye and is powerful in Nanyang. Even the navy of the Great Chu Empire pays respect to him."

Having said that, Zhu Hu sighed and shook his head:
"My Great Chu has a population of [-] million people. Getting started in martial arts is also easy. There is almost no barrier to entry. Everyone can practice it, as long as they have hands. However, there are only three great masters of the first rank of martial arts known to the world."

Martial arts is more than just having hands?

You can practice legwork without hands, and you can practice jujube stone nails without hands or feet!
However, with the low threshold of martial arts, the large population of Great Chu, and the first-rank masters of martial arts, there are only these three on the surface. It can be seen how difficult it is to achieve high-grade martial arts.

Rao Shen Lang is just a vegan with zero foundation in martial arts, and he doesn't have any personal experience of the difficulty of being promoted to a high-level martial arts, but he only needs to calculate the proportion of first-rank grand masters, and he can't help but be surprised by the achievement rate of first-rank grand masters. I am deeply moved by the low level, and I can understand Zhu Hu's sigh.

Accompanied by Zhu Hu's sighs of emotion, Shen Lang asked again:
"So the first-rank grand master is the pinnacle of martial arts?"

Zhu Hu smiled and said:

"It's not. There are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. Above the first rank of martial arts and the first rank of Taoism, it is said that there are also existences called 'Earth Immortals'. But those gods have nothing to do with us mortals.

"Because the legendary 'Earth Immortals', for some unknown reason, basically don't walk in the mundane world anyway, and rarely interfere with the secular world, so it can be treated as if they don't exist."
