From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

There are often strange rumors about strange people and strange things circulating in Hengshui City.

One of them is about the old man Pei on Yuzhu Street.

Some people say that he was a descendant of the Pei family, one of the ten great powerful families in the Spring and Autumn Period, and that he fled to the frontier and lived under an assumed name after his country was destroyed and his family was ruined.

Some people also said that he was one of the concubines of the Queen of Beimang, but was kicked away by the old and powerful king because of his old age and frailty.

But there are two things that the storyteller is certain of. One is that Old Man Pei's kung fu is definitely not low, he must be at least a third-grade martial artist. The other is that he likes to show off his culture and has the habit of raising flowers, birds, fish and insects. As a wealthy man, he owns three shops and two large courtyards. In addition, there are dozens or even hundreds of followers who are called registered disciples but are actually thugs. Even the local big gangs and government officials have to give him face in everything.

Occasionally, flying birds would take off and land in the Pei family compound, which was not uncommon.

……

Pei family backyard.

In front of the armory, Pei Lu crossed his arms, his face determined, without any sign of concession.

"If you want to read the boxing manual, you have to become my disciple. I swear to teach you everything I know and never keep anything to myself. You don't have to see me off to the grave. Otherwise, you have to pay the tuition according to the rules. This huge fortune was built by my hard work."

Jiang Yuan said little, he directly took out five taels of silver and threw it over. The other party believed that skills should not be taught lightly, and five taels of silver was only two months' tuition for apprentices in the martial arts school. He read the boxing manual just to get a fixed form, otherwise every time he faced the enemy, he would have to improvise a set of special plans to deal with it like before. It was indeed effective, but it would waste his mind in the battle. Besides, the boxing method would help the saint's stolen vitality to penetrate into the bone marrow and speed up the efficiency of physical strengthening.

Pei Lu gave way in disappointment. That Han Jia Yushu really deserved to die. If he were alive, he would have to beat him up secretly. Otherwise, someone would never be so "generous".

The two men entered the armory one after another. As the biggest leader of Zhao Gou in Jizhou, Pei Lu was specifically responsible for keeping an eye on the mutual movements between Beiliang and the two Liaos, as well as the strategic intentions of Beimang.

If Beiliang rebels, the only options are to defeat the two Liao states, capture Xiangyang, and head straight for the capital city of Tai'an. These three routes are guarded by big bosses.

The armory is not big, no different from an ordinary wing room. On the iron racks on both sides are various weapons such as swords, spears, swords and halberds, and bows and arrows are hung on the walls. The bookshelf in the middle is where various boxing manuals, sword manuals, sword classics and Taoist scriptures are stored. There is an inconspicuous bird cage on each side.

Jiang Yuan picked up a book from the first level of the boxing manual, which made Pei Lu raise his eyebrows. This guy didn't care enough about him.

"The cicada knows before the golden wind blows, and the death is sent secretly without knowing it. This Heyi Fist focuses on swiftness and sharpness. It has some effects of cleansing the meridians and weakening the marrow, but it doesn't mean much to you. A sixth-grade master can be promoted by opening one of the twelve main meridians, and a fifth-grade master can be promoted by opening one of the eight extraordinary meridians. You are born with all the meridians open, so you will have a bright future. Even if you just muddle through every day, you will at least be a first-grade master in the future."

Pei Lu attached great importance to this young man who was always unwilling to be his disciple. No matter how discerning the leader Zhao Gou of Tai'an Capital was, he would not ignore such a martial arts genius. What's more, the other party was in charge of a series of major events such as the White Clothes Case, and his vision was particularly sharp.

Jiang Yuan looked through the boxing manual, memorized it and digested it, then turned around and left the armory.

Heyiquan is divided into external he and internal he.

Shoulders and hips, elbows and knees, hands and feet,

The mind and intention are united, the intention and qi are united, the qi and strength are united.

When the inside and the outside are in harmony with each other and complement each other, that is the ultimate achievement.

Pei Lu was amazed when he saw this. He knew that Heyiquan was not difficult for Jiang boy, but it was still too sensational to say that he had achieved great success after just starting out.

The next seven steps of Qiankun Zhuang were completed in one go. When the first step was taken, the muscles and bones were like a dragon, starting from the cloud of Dazhui, feeling the waist and back, taking care of the hands and feet, and the energy was penetrated like a siege hammer.

The second step is to rein in the horse and listen to the wind. After three thorough attacks, the power of your feet will flow like a torrent, without turning back, and you will break through the mountains.

Until the seventh step, when the noon ox plows the field, the skill of heavy clumsiness is fully demonstrated, and the skill of the wild ox rising from the land is perfectly unleashed, as if it is an indestructible spirit.

Pei Lu looked stunned. Not breaking the spirit and form is a basic principle of martial arts. Only the real "masters" can understand it. It is not about strength or power, but a state or a state of mind. It can add spirit when one is in high spirits, and can be elegant even when one is not elegant. An undefeated person will force himself to do everything.

Jiang Yuan retracted his fist, walked through the Seven-Step Qiankun Posture, and refined another natal acupoint. More importantly, his vitality deepened, causing his foundation to transform from solid to rock-hard.

What he has to do most now is to eat a lot and then continue walking.

Generally speaking, practicing martial arts too much in a day is as bad as too little. A few hours is the upper limit, and it is enough.

But the saintly thief replenishes vitality and can make people feel less tired.

"If the ancestral home is to be sold, how much is it worth?"

"We are not in the capital, and your ancestral home is old. Eighty strings of cash is the maximum you can offer. I can offer a hundred strings of cash and open a mill at the same time."

Pei Lu's mind instantly turned to business. He had embezzled money many times over the years, and the leader should know it, but the five big bosses would never lose power because of such a small matter. On the contrary, this kind of excuse offered voluntarily would make the leader and the nobles particularly satisfied.

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to take the money.
……

Dazhan City, Han Mansion.

In the main hall of the antique mansion, a middle-aged man sat on a throne, holding the lid of the teapot with one hand, looking intimidating without even being angry.

The descendants of the Han family were kneeling below, and several guest officials and servants stood beside them with their heads bowed in silence.

Old Master Han is an official in the imperial court. He has three sons and two daughters. The two daughters are married and the third son died of a chronic illness in his childhood. The eldest son is already quite old and is a great scholar in Shangyin Academy. Now the second master is in charge.

Among the grandchildren, Han Yushu is the most outstanding. He is a half-step junior grandmaster with extraordinary talent. In addition, he has the title of Juren. His official style is well-known even in the capital. He can be called the Jade Tree of the Han family. Because he and the patriarch are both the "second in command", it is basically determined who will take over the position of the head of the Han family in the future.

"Investigate, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, investigate carefully bit by bit. If Yushu is involved in this sword manual, not only me, but also my father will not be able to swallow this breath. Send people to arrest that Jiang family member immediately. The incident started with him, so we should start from the beginning. During the investigation, Han Xiansheng, if you dare to leave the mansion, don't blame your father for being ruthless."

The young man named Han Xiansheng broke out in sweat. Although he was dissatisfied with his second brother being spoiled, he dared not kill his blood relative directly.

"Swordsman, I heard that your Dongyue Sword Pond is a sacred place for swordsmanship. Let me admire your style this time. If you find the opponent, cut off his limbs and bring him back, but don't hurt his life."

“I obey the order of the patriarch.” The swordsman raised his head and bowed. He was a junior master of the second rank and had a reputation in the martial arts world as “a sword that chills the whole mountain.” He had challenged others and defeated several other junior masters, but he also violated the law. In the end, he was saved by Old Master Han and has been integrated into the Han family for several years.
