Chapter 48 Parting and Reuniting

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Liu Jing sat upright, looking respectful, and he was grateful to Yuzhen from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Zhenren smiled and said, "It has been twenty days of training, how do you think the effect is?"

"Reporting to the real person, I feel like I am completely reborn. Many things that were impossible in the past can be easily done now."

"What's the matter?"

"Take running as an example. From here to Xiangyang Xicheng, I ran back for half an hour on the first day and was so tired that I almost died. But now I can run back effortlessly. Although I have not saved time, I can easily run back and forth twice, and it is not very tired.

In addition, I went to move the big stone yesterday and could barely move it up. After walking a few steps, this is the progress of strength."

Yu Zhenren felt a hint of complacency in Liu Jing's tone, and his eyes immediately became stern, "Although Long is right, you are indeed a high-quality boy, no less than him back then, but you still have a lot of hardships to leave. Don't be proud of a little progress. Do you understand what I mean?"

Liu Jing was beaten with a stick, and the joy in his heart disappeared. He nodded silently. Yu Zhenren meant that with Zhao Yun's qualifications, he had to practice hard for five years, and his own still had his own.

"I understand." Liu Jing's eyes showed shame.

Yu Zhenren's eyes became gentle again and said with a smile: "It's shameful to say that although I have no less than ten disciples, there are only people who have truly practiced my martial arts. The eldest disciple Tong Yuan and the second disciple Li Yan, and my closed brother Zhao Yun. Tong Yuan and Li Yan have passed away. However, they have also passed on many disciples, and they are a bit famous, such as Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, you should have heard of it."

Liu Jing was a little surprised. Of course he knew that the King of Northern Spears Zhang Xiu and King of Western Spears Zhang Ren were both famous all over the world for their marksmanship. It turned out that they were the disciples of Yu Zhenren.

Yu Zhenren continued with a smile: "I have seen Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren. They both started practicing martial arts at the age of seven and practiced completely according to my skills. However, their qualifications can only be said to be better, far from comparable to dragons. It can be said that dragons' talent is unique in the past year.

But you have a chance. Frankly speaking, you are indeed not as good as a dragon in terms of physical fitness, but you have a strange life understanding. It is this that attracts me and makes me have great hope for you."

"Please rest assured that Liu Jing will never let down the expectations of the real person."

Yu Zhenren took out two gourds, one red and one black, from the box next to him, and put them on the table, saying, "I have prepared the marrow washing powder in the red gourd, soak a pot of wine and a pack. The black gourd is the Yijin Pill you usually take. As for the herbs for bathing every day, Taoist Luo Lu knows that I have asked him and he will pick it for you."

Liu Jing was shocked, "Is the real person leaving?"

Yu Zhenren sighed and said, "I originally wanted to train with you for another two months, but my body felt a little wrong. I had to rush back, I hope it was still time."

"A real person can ride my horse back, my horse is faster." Liu Jing said anxiously.

Yu Zhenren smiled a little desolately, "You stupid kid, what I said is not a way, but a moment I have been waiting for my whole life, so don't ask."

Yu Zhenren did not say something clearly, and could not tell Liu Jing that his deadline was coming soon, and he had to go back to the mountain to finish his last period of practice.

Yu Zhenren took out a thick book and solemnly handed it to Liu Jing, "This is something I have written these days. If you look at it more, you will know what to do in the future. There are also the formula and preparation methods of medicine. This is the secret of my Luofeng Sect. It is more important than the Luofeng technique and the bird-to-phoenix gun. You must promise me that it will not be disclosed to the first person."

Liu Jing took the book and said with a serious expression: "I promise to the real person that I will never disclose it to the first person."

Yu Zhenren laughed again, "I can't see through it. What secrets can I have to say when I can save people? It doesn't matter if the prescription is left in the world. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to stick to the guarantee. I cancel your guarantee."

"I remember it."

Yu Zhenren pointed to the book again and said, "You must take the contents in the book seriously and strictly follow the method I handed you over to complete one by one. Don't be rushing to achieve success. In addition, on the last two pages, there is a sword technique, which I created for you. I think you are very fast, and maybe you can win quickly in the future."

Liu Jing thought that he might not see Master Yu in the future, and he would not be able to repay his kindness in the future. He felt sad and knelt down and kowtowed, "Liu Jing remembers it in his heart, I will definitely repay Master Yuan."

Yu Zhenren smiled slightly, "If you succeed in the future, you will take care of the villagers of Changshan County. This will repay me. If you are destined to be, we may meet in some form. I hope that at that time, the one who appears in front of me will be a righteous and skilled Jinggong."

"I remember it"

.........

In the room, Liu Jing silently placed the booklet on the table, flipping through page by page, and the content was written in detail. How should he train in the future, what method he should use, how much training he needs, and how he might encounter dangers he encounters, how to resolve them, all of them are described in detail.

In the book, Yu Zhenren told him in particular that he should not be greedy for too much and seek speed. Such risks are high, and he needs to proceed step by step and persevere, and he will achieve results in four years.

In addition, Zhao Yun taught him that the bird phoenix gun was just a basic move, and it was not complete. The truly completed bird phoenix gun had ten styles and eighty-one changes. It was the secret of Luofeng Sect. Without the consent of Yu Zhenren, Zhao Yun did not dare to give it to him privately.

Yu Zhenren has told Zhao Yun that he could teach Liu Jing the complete bird-to-phoenix gun.

Liu Jing is not a person who is easily moved, but the teachings Yu Zhenren gave him made him feel sad. He really doesn't know how to repay this kindness and virtue.

Liu Jing turned to the last page, but was slightly stunned. Yu Zhen told him that the last two pages were a sword technique specially created for him, but he saw that the pattern was not one, but twenty-four pictures, each of which was cut out with one knife, from various corners.

He studied it carefully for a while and finally understood that it was actually just one move, but this move required to understand all the twenty-four attacks thoroughly before he could find the inspiration for the one sword. It seemed complicated, but in the end he accumulated a lot of effort and simplified the twenty-four attacks into one sword, which was extremely fast and fast.

Yu Zhen wrote a sentence at the end, "A sword of the wind and thunder are shocked, and this style can be called the wind and thunder transformation."

Such a complex twenty-four swords were finally reduced to one sword. Liu Jing seemed to have thought of something. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized why the masters of Chinese painting randomly painted a few strokes and had endless artistic conception. It seemed simple, but it was impossible for ordinary people to imitate it.

Perhaps this is also a kind of simplification. For a few random strokes, they have spent so much effort and time to devote their entire lives to these simple strokes.

So Zhao Yun's posture of banning himself casually is not known how many changes are made up. No wonder the ten-style marksmanship that Zhao Yun taught him is not a complete bird-to-phoenix gun. There may be only ten-styles of a complete bird-to-phoenix gun, and I don't know how much essence is hidden behind each style.

These changes must be understood thoroughly in order to achieve them. Without strength, you cannot truly understand the profound practice of the perfection. Until this time, Liu Jing finally realized that all the powerful martial arts are actually simplified.

Isn't that the same in painting, calligraphy, chapters, and even cooking skills in the world?

He jumped up, drew out the knife, and slashed out with a sudden knife. Then the sword light drew an arc and slashed out. This was the first and second pictures. There were twenty-four pictures in total. Only after you could you understand all the essence of the sword, wind and thunder.

He tried every move one by one, and Liu Jing was extremely excited. He knew the Luofeng technique that must be possessed in this sword technique. In other words, this is a move specially tailored for him by Yu Zhenren.

It was not until this time that Liu Jing truly realized the martial arts of Yu Zhenren. Although there was only one move, the martial arts principles contained in it benefited Liu Jing infinitely.

.........

That night, Yu Zhenren said goodbye to Qingzhu Temple, went north overnight, and rushed back to Changshan County. Liu Jing continued to stay in Qingzhu Temple for training, and traveled from morning to night every day, running for a long distance without any slack.

Ten days later, Liu Jing officially completed the first stage of training, left Longzhong, and headed for Fancheng.

...........

Fancheng is located on the north bank of the Han River, across the river from Xiangyang. Although the city area is slightly smaller than that of Xiangyang, its population and prosperity are far greater than that of Xiangyang. It is the handicraft city and material distribution center of Jingzhou.

Merchant ships gathered on the dock, and various shops were everywhere in the city. Various goods from Jiangdong, Bashu and Jingxiang gathered here. You can even see teams of mule and horse caravans from the north, loaded with various goods.

There are not only shops in the city, but also various workshops, weaving, shoemaking, iron making, papermaking, wood, bronze, lacquerware, etc., and there are sixty lines in every line.

There are more than 200,000 permanent residents in the city, and tens of thousands of people take boats across the river to make a living in Fancheng every day. There are also merchants from all over the world, refugees who fled from the north, farmers from all over Jingzhou who come to make a living. In fact, the population of Fancheng has exceeded 100,000, and there are nearly 20,000 boatmen who make a living in the dock area alone.

Liu Jing soon found the house arranged by Liu Qi for him. It was located on a small river near the south of the city. It was a small house covering an area of ​​about one acre. A long row of willows planted along the river at the entrance, thousands of branches swaying lightly in the wind. You can imagine its beautiful scenery in spring.

The house is an old house engaged in Jingzhou. It has been closed all the time, so Liu Qi borrowed it for Liu Jing to live in temporarily.

As soon as Liu Jing led his horse to the door, the door creaked and opened. Uncle Meng walked out of the yard with a basket. The two looked at each other, and Liu Jing shouted in surprise: "Uncle Meng"

Uncle Meng smiled so hard that the walnut patterns on his face opened, "Master, you are finally here."

He wanted to kneel down and salute. Liu Jing quickly supported him, "Uncle Meng, don't kneel."

Uncle Meng's eyes were a little wet, and he choked and said in a choking voice: "I didn't expect to see my husband again."

"Me too"

Liu Jing was overjoyed. He had always been worried that Uncle Meng would be abused by Mrs. Cai. Now that his appearance here means that he will follow him in the future.

This is the happiest thing he has been in the past few days. He also knew that this must be Liu Qi's deliberate arrangement. Liu Qi's careful and understanding heart makes Liu Jing secretly grateful.

"Master, why are you so dark and thin?" Uncle Meng then realized that Liu Jing had lost a lot of weight and his skin became dark, which scared him.

"It's a long story, let's go inside and talk."

Liu Jing smiled and walked towards the house. At this time, another little girl ran out of the yard. She was about eleven or twelve years old, with a pink and tender round face, and her eyes were big and bright.

"Uncle Meng, who is he?" The little girl looked at Liu Jing curiously, looking so tall.

"This is Duke Jing, come and pay homage."

Uncle Meng smiled and introduced to Liu Jing, "This is Zhao Erniang's daughter in the kitchen, named Aduo. She used to work in the pharmacy in the mansion. Mr. Qi specially transferred her out, and she and I will serve him in the future."

The little maid went forward obediently and bowed, "Ado gave a gift to the public."
