Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 1
The green hills are faintly covered with water, and the grasses in the south of the Yangtze River are not withered in autumn.

In a valley, looking around is surrounded by lush trees covering the sky, and the autumn rain is mercilessly falling, as if the whole world is shrouded in the ethereal rain vapor in the deep mountains. Just a deep breath can cleanse the heart and lungs.

There are only two or three customers in the teahouse on the side of the road. They borrow the leaky roof of the teahouse to shelter from the rain.

Jiang Wen Zilu, 27 years old, is a chivalrous man and the owner of a teahouse.Although he claimed to have retired from the arena for many years, the increasingly weird situation in the arena finally made him a little restless.

After seeing off the old friends who came to congratulate him, he looked at the surrounding bamboo trees in high spirits. Even the lonely atmosphere of the empty mountains and autumn rain could not affect Jiang Wen's good mood.

There are only four words in his head at the moment: take office...

Start a sect!
"Jiang Daochang, I have done what you told me to do. Can you accept the child as a disciple?"

The one who spoke to Jiang Wen in the teahouse was a fat businessman, dressed in silk and satin, full of affluence, but his old face, nearly sixty years old, was full of tangles, as if saying that cross talk was standing in the table, going to the toilet It was as if someone had taken the paper away again.

Jiang Wen cupped his hands modestly: "Boss Fang, thanks to your efforts this time, I was able to take down Dawang Peak from Jianning Mansion. The Jian faction is in this No. [-] peak in Wuyi!"

What is Pai Nian?This is called a row.

The number one of Dawangfeng is not the number one in altitude, but Dawangfeng is the first mountain that must be seen on the way to Wuyi by water and land. "Tianzhu Peak", just by hearing the name, you will know that the momentum is extraordinary.

Of course, the reason why the government is willing to sell such a famous mountain is mainly because this mountain is deserted and difficult to climb, and it is worthless except for the scenery from a distance.

Back then, even the famous Xu Xiake lost his way on this mountain, thinking that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall in the middle of the night.

"You're welcome, Daoist Jiang. The money has been paid and this is the title deed..."

Shopkeeper Fang, a silk merchant, laughed and took out a land deed with the official seal from his sleeve.

Jiang Wen pushed his hands and said: "How much is it? I must pay back the money—just pay it off in 30 years as I said before, and it's a lot of money!"

The smile on Shopkeeper Fang's face froze: "The barren hills are worthless. Besides, Daoist Jiang, I will be 60 years old next year. I'm afraid I'll only be able to collect money after another 30 years..."

"It's me who didn't think about it carefully."

Jiang Wen looked guilty and said, "From now on, your youngest son will live with me to learn martial arts, and every month he will have to spend money on food, clothing, and daily necessities, and you will be charged for tuition, miscellaneous fees, and books... You can pay me some money."

Shopkeeper Fang's face was almost distorted with anger, but he still put on a smile and said, "It's okay for me to keep the money first, as long as you are willing to take the children as apprentices..."

The teahouse was full of poor guests who were also watching and chatting. Normally, rich people would not come to shelter from the rain in this rainy day, so Shopkeeper Fang and his party were particularly conspicuous.

The tea guests listened quietly to their chat, and then were surprised that the owner of the teahouse was actually a martial artist. Only a father and son in slightly cold clothes sat far away, seemingly uninterested in anything.

Whoever is a serious martial arts person opened a school in Dacheng Tongyi to teach apprentices, and the last time he established a school.The young man in front of him is going to settle down on the mountain...

This is clearly going to fall into the grass!

The surrounding chattered for a while, and they all checked out and left, and most of the originally rare customers dispersed in an instant.

Jiang Wen has kept his name here for several years, and it is normal for no one to know him, but what he is more curious about is why shopkeeper Fang is so obsessed with letting him accept disciples?

"Shopkeeper Fang, don't mind if I ask you casually. If you just want to keep fit, why don't you send your young master to practice boxing and kicking, for example, go to the Bailian martial arts gym in the town to practice martial arts?"

After asking this question, shopkeeper Fang had a strange expression on his face, and he sighed.

"I've already sent it, and the dog has already bitten the instructors of all the martial arts halls in the town. This time, Master Luo of the martial arts hall is kind enough to recommend me to come to study with you..."

"Your son is a dog?"

Jiang Wen's eyelids twitched. Is this dog a modest name, or a nickname?

Shopkeeper Fang glared.

Jiang Wen smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, I'm actually the best at teaching poor students, even if I have leftovers, I can still teach them!"

Shopkeeper Fang quickly took Jiang Wen's hand: "Jiang Daochang, it's enough to keep fit! Just keep fit! Please make sure that the children's limbs are healthy!"

"Let me just give you an example. There is still a master Yue in Jianghu. It is easy to accept disciples but it hurts the root..."

Jiang Wen calmly pulled away from Shopkeeper Fang's fat hand, "Where is your son? Let him come and meet!"

Shopkeeper Fang's face was filled with joy, and he quickly waved his hands: "It's right behind! Gouzi is ten years old this year, and it's too late to learn it any later. Come here, little stone!"

As shopkeeper Fang kept calling, a child with a dull expression came out from among the servants behind him.

"How old is he?"

Jiang Wen gasped.

Let me explain first, it's not someone else who is tall and burly against the ceiling.The child in front of him was indeed a child, but his limbs were short and his bones were surprising. Judging from his height, he looked at most five or six years old, neither fat nor thin.Fortunately, he didn't have a big head, otherwise Jiang Wen would have directly classified him as dwarfism.

Shopkeeper Fang smiled wryly and said, "No one believes it. If I hadn't watched him grow up, I wouldn't have believed it. This child lived with his mother in the countryside when he was a child, and he developed a high fever and stopped growing."

"Hey, I have used all kinds of folk remedies over the years. Unfortunately, I am now ten years old and don't even dare to make a name. I am afraid that my fate will be taken away by God..."

Shopkeeper Fang sighed and hugged his youngest son, but the boy also had no expression on his face, just staring at the boiling hot water pot beside him.

"You have to see a doctor!" Jiang Wen reminded.

"I also spent money to see many doctors, but they couldn't find out the problem, until a monk from the Southern Shaolin said that the child was born with an imbalance of five qi and congenital impairment, so he was born weak and out of recuperation. Internal martial arts and the circulation of qi and blood can make up for one or two..."

What shopkeeper Fang didn't say was that the monk said on the spot that as long as he gave him 500 taels of silver, he could teach Shaolin's unique knowledge of Yijin Jing and marrow washing skills, and turn things around within a year-then shopkeeper Fang directly reported to the officials to cheat this man. The monk was sent to prison.

But shopkeeper Fang thought in his heart that there was some truth to this statement.

Even in the countryside, shopkeeper Fang treasured his son very much. He had been fed with delicacies since he was a child, and his annual expenses were countless. It was impossible for him to treat him badly.

The biggest possibility is that shopkeeper Fang had a son when he was old, and he married a step-wife when he was nearly fifty years old. One is old and the other is not healthy, and the child born will have such congenital deficiencies.

Now that a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, the youngest son looks more and more unsightly, and it is hopeless to start a business in the future. After all, learning martial arts from a teacher is the only way out.

Jiang Wen's expression changed for a long time before he gritted his teeth and opened his mouth.

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will accept this apprentice. To be honest, I dress up as a Taoist priest just to make it easier for me to walk in the rivers and lakes. Don't call me Taoist priest."

"Okay, Daoist Jiang."

Jiang Wen thought that the other party didn't hear clearly, and explained: "You should still call me Jiang Zhangmen, Jiang Daxia or something like that."

Shopkeeper Fang kept nodding: "No problem, Daoist Jiang!"

"……as long as you are happy."

Jiang Wen stood up, patted the splashed rainwater off his body, sighed softly, and patted the child's head: "Little Stone, I will be your master from now on. I have to tell you some things first, our school was founded in Wuyi Mountain Dawangfeng, you can be regarded as a top disciple..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wen frowned and looked at his height, "It's a bit difficult to use it to top the door, but you have to study hard in the future, do you know every day?"

Xiao Shitou's dull expression didn't change at all, Jiang Wen turned his head away and remained silent.

Shopkeeper Fang thought Daoist Jiang was sighing, so he didn't dare to disturb him.But in the direction no one saw, Jiang Wen was smiling proudly.

Jiang Wen was thinking in his mind at the moment, he would invite master Luo of the Wuguan to have a meal some other day, and then he would release the wine and meat monk from prison. Thanks to their cooperation, the scene could be completed.

My acting skills this time should be able to win an Oscar!

[Tianyancha, show the character information. 】

In a position that only Jiang Wen could see, text messages were displayed like a waterfall.

[The character panel can be displayed. 】

【Name: Little Stone】

【Age: 10 years old】

【Evaluation of Comprehension: Jade in the Rock】

[Gengu Evaluation: Talented]

[Martial arts evaluation: know nothing]

[Practical evaluation: know nothing]

[Comprehensive knight level: common people]

[Master Martial Arts: None]

[Character description: This is a child who has never been exposed to martial arts, but his outstanding talent will be his best teacher. 】

That's right, Jiang Wen is using the system he carries with him to check the child's information!
It was not the first time for Jiang Wen to travel through.

Since traveling here from the previous world, the system on his body has suddenly degenerated into Tianyancha, who has castrated most of this function, and it is not easy to master martial arts with himself.

This time, by accepting apprentices, he just wanted to see through the secrets of martial arts and restore his martial arts.

The comprehension and roots in this unknown system are divided into five levels, from low to high, they are obstinate, mediocre, rough in the stone, exceptionally gifted, and unrivaled genius.

Little Shitou's roots have reached the second highest level of talent, and his martial arts understanding is also second to none!The first tallest root bone has never been seen before, so the second tallest root bone can already look at all directions, and it is the best candidate for apprentices.

Even according to Jiang Wen's speculation, the so-called developmental delay of Xiao Shitou is probably just caused by this pair of natural muscles and bones.
