Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 2 A chance encounter with Qiu Chuji

The Taoist priest came closer and closer, heading towards the Taoist temple, as if he wanted to avoid the wind and snow.

Zhaofucheng was once the territory of the Song Dynasty. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also claimed to be the Taoist Emperor. Taoist belief became popular and even though it was occupied by the Jin soldiers, there was still a legacy. Since time traveling, Taoist priest Lu Chen has seen a lot of this kind of Taoist priest, but he is not too surprised, so he goes back to warm himself by the fire.

At this time, the Taoist priest came to the end of his song, crossed the threshold, and entered the Taoist temple.

"Taoist Master, come and warm yourself by the fire!"

Lu Chen shouted enthusiastically, and the Taoist priest looked at him and nodded, "Thank you."

But he didn't come over, he just frowned and looked around, his eyes fixed on the damaged Tianzun sculpture in the Taoist temple.

The head fell to the ground, looking at the world sideways, with an incomprehensible smile. On the stage sat the decapitated body, still making convincing gestures, which looked extremely absurd.

The two of them stood in silence, one on the left and the other on the right. For a while, the only sound was the whistling of the wind.

Lu Chen thought it was too embarrassing, so he took the initiative to ask, "Taoist Priest has been staring at this fallen statue head. Are you sentimental?"

"How can there be any sentimentality? I just find it ironic. Monks claim to be monks, so they can ignore the secular world and escape from troubles. But the world comes to them and bothers them. When the golden dog army comes to the city, they are no longer monks, but the Song Dynasty. People. When the city is destroyed, it is the time of destruction. Nothing is left. I see that the word "family" is nothing more than deceiving myself and others. It is a great illusion in the world and a stupid thing in the world."

The Taoist priest didn't speak. When he spoke, he spoke in lengthy sentences. He still looked at Tian Zun's head, his eyebrows and eyes were sharp and angular, "Little brother, do you think this is true?"

Lu Chen sighed, "I deeply agree with what the Taoist Master said. I only have my own opinions on 'nothing is left'."

The Taoist priest slowly turned his head, his eyes deep, "Oh, would you like to hear the details?"

Lu Chen said, "The Taoist temple was destroyed and the Taoist priests died, but there were people who lived here. That person was my adoptive father. He died a few days ago. I just got a few cents of silver. I probably won't die this year." He died, maybe next year, maybe the year after that. But without this Taoist temple, my adoptive father and I would have died five years ago. It was this Taoist temple that protected us from wind and rain. It is said that the Taoist priests built the Taoist temple for three months After that, the Jin soldiers arrived, and the blessings they did not enjoy were left to us in the end. Master Taoist, listen, how many times I said the word "death", every "death" is not a joke, it really can Let me die, but I am still alive now. Isn't this what this Taoist temple has left behind? Maybe monks are deceiving themselves and others. They cannot cut off the connection with the world. The evil of the world finds them, and their good deeds remain in the world. "

The Taoist priest looked at Tianzun's head, and Tianzun's head was still smiling.

He was thoughtful and whispered, "Okay."

He bowed to Lu Chen again and said, "My little brother is right, but I am wrong."

"Young man is shameless and accepts it gladly. As the saying goes, knowing your mistakes and being able to correct them is the greatest good."

Lu Chen laughed loudly and reached out to push away the dead leaves of weeds blown by the cold wind on the ground, "I asked you just now, the Taoist priest doesn't seem to be afraid of the cold - but I am a guest from afar, so please do as you please, sit down and warm yourself! "

The Taoist priest smiled and sat down, looking curious, "The little brother's words don't match his appearance. Could there be some hidden secret?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "How can a Taoist judge a person by his appearance? Who knows that in the past, Liu Bang determined the foundation of the Han Dynasty based on the chief of the pavilion, and Zhu Yuanzhang laid the foundation of Ming Zuo on cloth clothes. This kid is a genuine beggar's ear."

The Taoist priest said with emotion, "What a good ambition."

He added, "It seems that my little brother is a Han Chinese, but no matter how ambitious he is, there will always be a lot of people with great ambition and talent in the world. It is truly rare to be able to remember the deep love for one's homeland and remember the deeds of our forefathers."

This Taoist priest is obviously Han Chinese, but somehow he came to the Kingdom of Jin.

Lu Chen scratched his cheek, thinking that his tone was loud enough to scare people, but he didn't expect that what the Taoist priest really admired was that he remembered the allusion between the two.

Embarrassed, he said, "The Taoist priest gave me the award. Although the boy was born in this city, he is a real Han traditionalist. Since he was a child, he loved to listen to storybooks and historical legends. He occasionally made some nonsense, which made the Taoist priest laugh at him."

The Taoist priest suddenly said, "I'm sorry, little brother!"

As soon as he reached out, he took Lu Chen's arm.

Lu Chen only felt a flash in front of him. The other party's movements were incredibly fast. A few fingers were placed on his pulse. It seemed that he was pressing it with little force, but no matter how hard he tried to pull it out, it remained motionless.

Then, there was a wave of heat, washing over the body, which was quite comfortable.

...Wait, this is martial arts? Is this Taoist a martial artist?

This was the first time he met martial arts people since time travel. Lu Chen was a little flustered at first, but then slowly calmed down.

The Taoist priest closed his eyes slightly, but he seemed to be able to see Lu Chen's expression, and said sternly, "Little brother, are you not afraid of the poor Taoist?"

Lu Chen told the truth, "I don't think the Taoist priest is a bad person... and although the boy has a big tone, he has little ability. It's useless to panic."

Then he asked out of curiosity, "Taoist Master, is this martial arts?"

"Yes."

The Taoist priest showed admiration on his face, then released his palm, "Little brother, although you don't know martial arts, you are also calm in situations. It can be seen that in the face of all kinds of difficulties, you can temper your heart, which puts me to shame."

He sighed again, "I didn't mean to harm you just now. I just saw that my little brother was in adversity and had great ambitions, so he cherished his talents. Unfortunately, although your muscles and bones are good, you have been ravaged by wind and frost, and your meridians have been damaged in many places. I'm afraid It is difficult to achieve anything above martial arts..."

Lu Chen was startled and couldn't help but be disappointed. What was originally a dream of conquering the world of mixed martial arts and becoming a generation master was suddenly shattered.

But then I thought about it, if it’s broken, then it’s broken. What’s there to hold on to? If you were unable to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University in your previous life, it is natural that you will not be able to become a master in this life.

Reincarnated as a human being, with the advantage of being a prophet...it is already a fortune, so why do you still ask for so much?

As he thought about it, his mind could not help but open up a bit, and he smiled and said, "According to what the Taoist Master said, could it be that you want to be accepted as a disciple?"

"Yes, Pindao is determined to accept you as his disciple...originally."

The Taoist priest sighed with emotion and suddenly looked directly into Lu Chen's eyes, "But after examining my little brother's muscles and bones, in my humble opinion, little brother, you are probably more suitable for another option, that is, I will send you back to the Song Dynasty. These are ordinary days." It is acceptable not to become a master, but not to practice martial arts. Lu Chen hurriedly said, "Taoist Master Wanwang is begging for mercy. I have been oppressed by the Jin people since I was a child. In my dream, I also want to practice martial arts and strengthen myself. ! At least I won’t be bullied anymore!” He thought about the painful experience of his predecessor, and he didn’t know how sincere these words were.

The Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "With your qualifications, martial arts is difficult."

"I'm not afraid of hardship."

"I'm afraid you don't know that the evil ways in this world are dangerous."

"I kill evil and protect the way."

"You really want to learn martial arts?"

"I was born to learn martial arts. I was born to follow the martial arts path."

"...Hey, you idiot. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

After a long silence, the Taoist sighed and finally nodded. Although judging from his appearance, he doesn't have high expectations for Lu Chen's future.

Lu Chen didn't care about that. Thinking about being able to get in touch with martial arts, a burst of ecstasy naturally emerged in his heart.

"--but!"

But everything can never escape a "but".

The Taoist priest suddenly paused and changed the topic, "Pindao has another disciple, but he is in Zhao Fucheng. He has an extraordinary status. Every year, I pass on his martial arts to the north for a month. I have to stay in Zhao Fucheng for a while and go there during the day. Teach him to come back here at night. Can I wait a full month before I go south with you?"

Lu Chen vaguely felt that this statement seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment, so he just nodded and said, "Since you are a senior brother, you can expect it."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "I don't have much time to teach you. I will teach you three basic skills first. Please note that you must practice diligently every day while I am away. When the time comes for the exam, you must not slack off."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which...child, you seem to have not told Pindao, what is your name?"

"My name is Lu Chen."

The Taoist priest still shook his head, "What's next?"

Lu Chen found that he only read the tone, and then described it to him, "elk's deer", "dust's dust" and so on.

The Taoist priest recited it twice, then suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, okay, Lu Chen, Lu Chen, what a good name."

But she still looked at him and shook her head, "But I didn't ask this."

Lu Chen was at a loss, "This..."

Seeing that he still didn't understand, the Taoist priest finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him, "Son, if you learn martial arts from me, what should you call me?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then he patted his head and knelt down on the ground, "Master, please accept my bows!"

The Taoist priest felt deeply comforted and said with a loving smile, "That's right. The poor Taoist Qiu Chuji is known in the world as the 'Seven Sons of Quanzhen'... Hey, what's wrong?"

"……nothing."

Lu Chen instantly suppressed his surprised expression, but suddenly thought of the senior brother his master just mentioned, could it be Wan Yankang?

He felt it was such a coincidence, "Master, you were going to Zhao Fucheng, why did you come here to rest instead?"

"It's not that I did it on purpose. When I was drinking tea on the road, I heard that there was a Taoist temple here. In the past, all the soldiers were killed when they resisted, so I came here to mourn. The passers-by on the road said that the Taoist priest was ridiculous, but it made him laugh. The poor man felt indignant and sarcastic, but a foolish man and a foolish woman are not easy to care about, so he said those extreme words, but it was you who woke me up."

Qiu Chuji touched Lu Chen's head and was suddenly startled. He stretched out his fingers to hook Lu Chen's hair, which was scattered on his face. A few strands of hair were stained with oil and dirty, with a look of compassion on his face, "Poor baby, in a foreign country, unkempt and unkempt, no one cares about him. It’s really hard on you.”

He took out a deerskin pouch from his waist and handed it to Lu Chen, "Water! Take it and wash your face. So-called learning martial arts, no matter how others say it is poor and Taoist, you have to look good and dress well, and then Only then can one cultivate virtue.”

Lu Chen took the skin bag and poured out the water. He was ready to wash his face with cold water, but when he poured it out, it was warm water.

Not too cold, not too hot, just right.

He was stunned for a moment, then Qiu Chuji said again, "I infuse it with internal energy and keep it warm at all times."

It's really amazing... The level of force in this world is too terrifying. Qiu Chuji in the original work definitely didn't have this kind of skill.

When Lu Chen finished washing his face and came over, he found that Qiu Chuji had disappeared.

Not long after, Qiu Chuji Shiran came back, changed his hands, and took out a set of plain robes. The size and width were exactly the same. "I went to the city to buy clothes. You can try them on."

Lu Chen went to another part of the Taoist temple and took off his clothes, which made him feel very cold. After Lightspeed changed his clothes and moved up and down, he felt comfortable and warm.

He was wearing clothes, twisting left and right, suddenly speechless and moved.

A moment ago, he was wandering between life and death, and could become a frozen corpse in the streets at any time. Now, someone brought him warm water, new clothes, and the opportunity to learn martial arts. The treatment was completely different.

For a moment, it almost felt like being reincarnated as a human being.
