Gao Wu: My martial arts training relies solely on hard work

Chapter 117 The Truth
The barren hills outside Jiangning City.

Peak Master Tianshu waved his sleeves, cut out a flat and smooth stone slab, and sat cross-legged.

He said earnestly to Zhao Xuan: "Practice requires a firm will. You can be drunk and drunk, or you can eat and sleep in the open."

"If you indulge in debauchery and debauchery, you may never make progress for the rest of your life, or you may become possessed."

"Furthermore, there are many outstanding female disciples in the sect, and they know the basics of martial arts and can confirm each other's martial arts, which is the best choice for becoming a Taoist couple."

"In my opinion, Wu Zhao from Kaiyang Peak is pretty good and dares to defend you in front of Tianxuan."

When Zhao Xuan heard the first half, he thought it was chicken soup for the soul.

After listening to the second half, I realized that the old man was worried that he had been abducted by others.

He deliberately said: "Master, you can't say that. I have never been in contact with women from other factions. How can I know the good qualities of my fellow disciples?"

"As for confirming martial arts, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. If we can learn from the strengths of others, we might be able to find a new path."

"But the martial arts taught by other forces are definitely not as good as our own unique skills. Master, don't you think so?"

Playing with hints, right?
It’s like no one can say that.

Peak Master Tianshu's expression froze, and he became angry: "You are not even a true disciple of our sect, but your master has taught you two heaven-level martial arts without exception, and you are not satisfied?"

"The secret knowledge of the Zhen sect, even if Daozi wants to learn it, he has to go through a one-year inspection. Is that something you can learn if you want to learn it?"

He said sadly: "You have to show your face in front of your great uncle to win his favor, and then you have a chance."

Zhao Xuan rolled his eyes, why does the old man like to play with desires so much?
Just listening to the first half, he thought there was no chance.

Only in the second half did I tell him that there was a chance.

His eyes lit up: "I wonder what my uncle's hobbies are? What kind of disciples do you like on weekdays?"

The Master of Tianshu Peak said calmly: "Your great uncle likes to eliminate demons and protect the Tao the most in his life. He probably likes disciples who are chivalrous, righteous, courageous and majestic."

"With your cautious and hiding nature, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

Zhao Xuan was speechless for a while.

What we are saying is that masters and disciples should discuss matters and not resort to personal attacks, okay?

He said unconcernedly: "My uncle has lived for so many years, maybe his taste has changed. How would you know if you don't try it?"

Tianshu Peak Master's face changed slightly: "Try and try again, but you can't try the method yourself."

"Master, let me tell you this. Your master-uncle kills people and never cares about what others think, only about his own thoughts."

"The previous generation of Zhenwu Sect Taozi, your master's uncle's senior brother, his direct disciple, died under his hands."

"The several heaven-level martial arts inherited from Tianshu Peak are not as good as the Zhen Sect's unique skills, but they are enough for you to practice until you become a grand master. There is no need to be too persistent."

In his view, the so-called Zhen sect's unique skills are those that are stronger than others, but they do not have to be learned.

Peak Master Tianshu even added: "The most important thing in martial arts is specialization. Your master master knows a few secret techniques of the sect, which is not much better than being a teacher."

Not much speculation.

The two had different ideas, and Zhao Xuan was too lazy to argue with Peak Master Tianshu.

He changed the subject and asked: "Master, there are less than three hours until dawn. Is this time enough for Wang to find the mastermind behind the assassin?"

Tianshu Peak Master said proudly: "Whether we can find it or not is Wang's business."

"In any case, it is an ironclad fact that a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect was assassinated in the Wang family's manor. He, the Wang family, cannot escape."

"Either Wang can provide conclusive evidence to prove that this matter has nothing to do with them. The injustice has its origin and the debt has its owner. As a teacher, they will find trouble for the murderer."

"If Mr. Wang cannot produce evidence, he will have to bear the consequences of assassinating the true disciples of our sect and pay a corresponding price. This will serve as a warning to all martial arts sects that the true martial arts sect is not a small sect that can be manipulated by others."

In his opinion, the matter must be made out of a molehill.

If a disciple of Zhenwu Sect is assassinated outside and there is no reaction at all, wouldn't it mean that Zhenwu Sect is weak and can be bullied?
Once the general is out, won't Zhenwu Sect disciples become fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered when they travel around the world?

Is there still peace?
Zhao Xuan corrected him: "The disciple is still an internal disciple, not a true disciple."

Just now, he said that he would be taught heaven-level martial arts as an exception, why did he change it again?
Tianshu Peak Master glanced at him: "Just say yes to the teacher."

"When you go out, you give yourself your identity."

"As long as you don't use the sect's name to cheat, who will blame you for this?"

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment and gave the domineering master a thumbs up: "Gao, it has to be you."

He asked curiously: "If it is found that the assassin is related to the Wang family, what are you going to do? Do you want to kill the Wang family alone?"

The leader of Tianshu Peak puffed his beard and stared: "Killing the Wang family by one person? Do you regard the Xie family as your master as your great uncle, the grand master of the Xie family who is not afraid of being married to the Wang family for generations?"

"You don't need to worry about this matter. You can make your own decision as a teacher."

"If you have this spare time, why not study the Tianshu Sword."

Zhao Xuan felt bored, found a stone nearby, cut it into a flat piece, and sat cross-legged on it.

He first checked his luck:

"Luck: dark green/gold (comes from the innate phoenix life, can be used to promote to master)."

Is this considered a ticket to enter the Grandmaster Realm?

Zhao Xuan's eyes were extremely bright when he saw the note at the back.It was not in vain that he coaxed and deceived to snatch away the luck of being born with a phoenix life.

He circulated the Taixuan Sutra for several days before he calmed down and entered a state of cultivation.

……

Wang's Manor.

Wang Jian stood in the main hall with his hands behind his back.

He has ordered people to seal off the manor and investigate the identity of the assassins one by one.

This matter must be settled as quickly as possible and in the best way.

Otherwise, the news will spread, and the impact on the Wang family will be extremely bad.

As the second elder of the Wang family, I will never allow the situation to get out of control.

As news gathered, the identity of the assassin was revealed.

Immediately afterwards, all the people related to the assassin were arrested and rigorously interrogated one by one.

Various torture methods are used in turn. No matter whether they are innocent or not, no matter who is involved, we will dig deep and never tolerate it.

As dawn approached, a silk book exuding the smell of blood was handed to Wang Jian.

He glanced at it and his expression changed slightly: "How is that possible?"

"Did something go wrong and someone deliberately bit me?"

The middle-aged housekeeper, who was from a branch of the Wang family, bowed slightly when he heard the words: "The lines are clear and clear. Unless the entire line is forged, there will be no mistake."

"It cannot be ruled out that the Northern Wei Dynasty deliberately did this to alienate me from the Jin Dynasty."

I saw clearly written on the silk book that the assassin was the work of the Southern Jin Dynasty Palace.

In other words, the assassination is related to the current Jin Dynasty royal family.

As everyone knows, the Southern Jin Dynasty relied entirely on the support of many aristocratic families such as King Xie.

The royal family is just a dispensable presence.

The power is not as powerful as the Gu family, the weakest among the six great families.

And this non-existent royal family of the Southern Jin Dynasty actually sent warriors at the sixth level of Qi training to lurk in the Wang family and carry out assassinations.

Wang Jian asked in a deep voice: "Have you found out why you wanted to assassinate the disciples of Zhenwu Sect?"

The housekeeper replied: "The available clues show that it is a concubine named Wang Xianrong from the Chong clan who came here and was ordered to plan for her to marry the eighth prince as his stepmother."

"Seeing that this woman was quarreling with a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, I assassinated her. If the assassination is successful, the plan will probably come true."

Wang Jian frowned slightly: "My appearance is mediocre and my qualifications are mediocre. What's so special about it that the Eighth Prince likes me?"

The steward replied: "The Eighth Prince saved a wandering Taoist priest a few years ago. The Taoist told him that if you present Rong, you have the destiny of a phoenix, and if you marry him, you can ascend to the throne."

"The Eighth Prince's biological mother came from a small family. Although he has gained some influence over the years through his maternal uncle who is a Grandmaster, he still has no chance of becoming a great person."

"I think he was in a hurry and sought medical treatment, but he actually believed the nonsense of a wandering Taoist."

Wang Jian's face turned livid and he cursed angrily: "Idiots, the Sima family is a bunch of idiots."

"The enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is currently trying to enlist the help of powerful factions like Zhenwumen to fight against the enemy, but he almost made such a big mistake just to fight for that chair."

"Take this person over, bring him over, and leave him to the sword master of Zhenwu Sect."

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"Not to mention that arbitrarily dealing with the prince will cause dissatisfaction in the royal family. Zhenwu Sect will inevitably be dissatisfied with Jin if they know this."

"One day when the Great Jin is in trouble, the Zhenwu Sect may not be willing to lend a helping hand because of this."

Wang Jian frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

The steward gritted his teeth and said: "Put it to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Just say that this matter was done by the Northern Wei Dynasty. The purpose is to destroy the relationship between Zhenwu Sect and Da Jin and make Zhenwu Sect cause trouble for the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Wang Jian asked: "Where is the evidence?"

The butler handed over his hand and said, "I will order someone to forge a copy right now. People like Tianshu Sword Master of the Zhenwu Sect who don't understand the causes and consequences will have a hard time distinguishing the true from the false."

It is indeed a good way to divert trouble to the east.

Wang Jian thought for a moment and shook his head: "No need, whatever is found out is what it is. There is no need to forge evidence to frame the Northern Wei Dynasty."

He looked at the housekeeper and said earnestly: "Don't treat those people from famous families as fools. Fools cannot gain a foothold in the martial arts world and have a place."

"You have to remember that the royal family is the royal family, and the Wang family is the Wang family."

"Even if the Jin Dynasty is overthrown and the royal family no longer exists, the Wang family will still be the Wang family, and they will still have to make good friends with Zhenwu Sect and other major sects."

"Why should I, the Wang family, cover up for the royal family and offend Zhenwu Clan?"

The steward was solemn when he heard this: "It's me who didn't think well, or the elder, please forgive me."

Wang Jian waved his hand: "Go, bring the people over and give Zhenwu Sect a satisfactory answer."

“It’s best to live or die.”
