Chapter 184 The Secret of the Hermit

"As you old, there are many powerful people in this 'Hidden Village'?"

The old patriarch laughed and said, "That's of course! The villagers living in our 'Hidden Village' are all masters and above from all walks of life from the 'Eastern Continent' and 'Western Continent'. Do you think they are powerful?"

People above the Grand Master level? That's really not weak. But now I'm not focusing on their strength, but I'm very interested in why they live here, so I asked this question directly.

After hearing this question, the old patriarch was slightly stunned, and then a look of resentment appeared. The originally faint aura became clear at this moment, letting me know that there must be something painful inside. In addition, I also noticed that the strong men who were originally sitting around the round table had almost no expressions, looked painful when they heard my question.

After a long time, the old patriarch's breath stabilized, and then turned to me and said, "This matter cannot be explained clearly in a moment or two. As long as you know that our 'Hidden Village' can provide the tribe members who arrive here on two continents with an opportunity to learn skills. Of course, if you want to learn skills, you must undergo some extremely strict tests, so whether you are learning or not is up to you."

Well, this change is too big. I can even feel that the old patriarch in front of me is completely cold to me. It seems that why they are really weird in this place. However, since I can learn skills, I am still very happy. Compared with the most basic skills teaching of the "Oriental Continent" itself, of course, it is still more beneficial to teach them directly by masters or above here.

So I immediately said, "So, how can I take the test and how can I learn skills?"

The old patriarch pointed to the eight areas in the building and said, "We live in 360 tribes, each tribe is the best in a specific industry. No matter what you want to learn, just look for them directly. As for what tests the tribes raise during the learning process, it is up to them to decide."

Three hundred and sixty professions? I felt a little dizzy after thinking about it. If it were in the real society, the number of professions was still small; but in the feudal era, it roughly included all professions. But for the current game society, the number of professions is too large, right?

I had doubts about game design, but I asked calmly: "So, which senior are you from the class, patriarch?"

Hearing me ask this, the old patriarch showed a look of interest in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, saying, "Since my friend is interested in my identity, I will tell you calmly. I am learning Huang Lao's learning, the way of health preservation, and the pursuit of becoming an immortal and a god. I wonder if I am interested?"

"I have interests, but I want to first hear what skills you have, what conditions you need to learn, and what tests you have so that you can learn it."

"My friend is cautious." After saying this, the old patriarch looked at me with a bright look and said, "If you want to learn Huang Lao's learning from me, you must first have a perseverance. You will practice Lao Lao's "Health Path" in a cave here for two years; if you achieve some success later, Lao Lao will teach you another "spiritual life path", which will also require two years of practice. If you can also practice this "spiritual life path" to the Hinayana realm, then I will teach you the secret technique "natural life path" again!"

"Haha, this, patriarch, I'm afraid I haven't been here for so long, and I'm afraid I won't be able to learn skills with you." Tsk, let me stay here for a year and a half, what should I do with my "Longhuxuan"? What's more, I'm here to play games, and it's probably no different from prison if I stay in one place all year round; even if I become the number one master in the world because of this, it's not very cost-effective.

"Ah, that's a pity. But I'll still welcome my friends to come at any time..." The old patriarch suddenly seemed to have become a salesman, and he tried his best to talk about the mystery of his Huang-Lao learning. But I clearly understood that I would never have been foolishly learning skills in the game for more than four years, so I automatically gave the old patriarch's various descriptions, one of the left ears and the right ears.

However, I still kept a small part of it, which was said in a sentence by the old patriarch that whether it is the "Health Tao", the "Spiritual Life Tao" or the most mysterious "Innate Tao" will rely on elixirs, and there is a "medicine garden" around the "Hidden Village". I couldn't help but think that maybe I could visit this "medicine garden" when I left and get unexpected gains.

When the old patriarch saw that his sales did not receive much attention from me, he finally shook his head in disappointment and stood up and left. The dozen strong men stood up at the same time and followed him, like the old patriarch's bodyguard, which surprised me very much. Is it necessary to show this scene in this place? Or, even in the "Hidden Village" there are conflicts? This made me unexpectedly think of those Japanese and white Westerners. In reality, these two types of people are enemies of China, both in the past and now.

However, in comparison, people in reality have far greater resentment towards the Japanese than Westerners. This is of course because of the disasters that Japan once created on the land of China and the unrepentant arrogance of now. But for those Westerners, it seems that the Chinese have forgotten that they have always played the negative role of invading China. It is precisely because China has been oppressed by Western powers that China is becoming increasingly weak and made Japan, which was supported by Western powers, become stronger. However, in the end, Japan, a slave named N, bit the Western powers back.

So in my eyes, those Westerners and Japanese people live in the same position. Of course, this is just my own attitude towards two types of people. I think the game designers should not bring this hatred into the game. After all, this is a game created by three companies. If such a design exists, no matter which country it is in, it will not be approved. Therefore, I denied this speculation in my heart.

Seeing the old patriarch and his group of more than ten people slowly disappear into the gossip, I also began my own way to find a master. However, although you see that there are people above the master level in this place, many of them will never be used for me. Look at the one on the far left in my sight, a master-level "barber" with a razor in my hand, which is so scattered. The winter melon used to practice skills was shaved out countless white hairs after a moment, but the winter melon itself is not hurt at all, and it really lives up to his reputation as a master-level "barber".

Looking at the person in the upper right corner of the line, there was a very rich middle-aged woman. She saw a bright red handkerchief in her hand, and two vivid mandarin ducks were embroidered on the handkerchief, but her profession was a shocking "matchmaker". Uh, do you need this profession in the game? It seems that you don't need it? Even if the "marriage system" is opened in the future, I'm afraid this guy won't need to mix it up!

The journey of finding "skills" was a bit difficult, but I did see what the 360-track style in ancient China looked like. It can be said that I watched scenes of live dramas. After more than an hour, I finally met a master who was quite suitable for me, that is, the boxer in front of me in a long gown.

"I want to learn boxing from you, but I don't know if there are any requirements?" Although boxing is not my strength, learning is always beneficial, right? So, I bowed deeply and had a very sincere attitude.

This boxer, who looks very similar to "Huang Feihong", glanced at me from the corner of his eyes, tilted his lips, and said, "Even the Seven Star Mantis Boxing is not good, and he still wants to learn boxing from me? Come and find me when you practice your boxing skills to the master level. I'm sorry to send it away!"

Damn! I was so angry! I really wish I could rush up and give him a sword. But I knew that with my current strength, I might not be able to beat this guy, so after calming my breath, I slightly clasped my fists and turned and left. I was rude, so I couldn't lose the price, right? However, I also knew one thing from my contact with this proud boxer, that is, this "Hidden Village" should provide players whose skills have reached their limits for promotion, and it is probably more accurate to describe it as "skill promotion field".

However, there are also problems. My "Five Elements Art" also includes boxing techniques. Although it is only a few moves, this guy should not be ignored so easily by this guy? Or, the existence of the "Five Elements Art" is special and does not belong to any warrior skill?

Thinking of this in my heart, I came to the place of a carpenter. Thinking that I only had advanced "cutting" skills, not even a carpenter, it might be difficult to learn any skills. I was about to turn around and look for other masters. The carpenter who had originally focused his attention on a carved wooden lion spoke: "Little brother, please wait!"

I stopped for a while, then faced the carpenter and said, "Master, are you calling me?"

"Who else can you call me if you don't ask me?" The carpenter smiled heartily, then pointed to a chair beside me with very meticulous work, and signaled me to sit down, saying, "In this village, everyone knows each other, even those foreigners or the barbarians will recognize familiar faces, so you know you are from outside when I see it, right?"

"Yes." I nodded and replied. The foreigner mentioned by this carpenter should be a white Westerner, and the Yi people are probably other races, including the Japanese.

"Little brother, are you interested in learning carpenter from me?" The carpenter looked at me and asked expectantly.

I was delighted when I heard this, but immediately said with confusion: "I only know how to cut materials. Can I learn carpenter skills in this way?"

"Did you agree to that?" said the carpenter happily: "Of course I can learn it. My Luban has a very accurate vision of people. I am afraid that your 'cutting' skill has just been upgraded to the advanced level, right? This means that you have a good talent in this area, and learning carpenter skills is no problem at all. Besides, my Luban skills are comparable to those ordinary carpenters? As long as you learn from me, I guarantee that you can become a master-level carpenter within one month!"

Lu Ban? Of course I will not let go of such a master-level figure in front of me. I will become a master-level carpenter in one month, which means that I can learn the mysterious mechanism and cooperate with my own traps. Isn’t that the power much stronger? Thinking of this, I nodded without hesitation.

"Okay. Since my little brother has decided to learn this carpenter work with me, I will tell you some things to pay attention to. I don't have many requirements, as long as you can spend an hour listening to my explanation every day, you can practice outside for other times. And I see that you are skilled in martial arts, I may also need to go to other people to learn some self-defense skills, so I especially allow you to come here again tomorrow."

Lu Ban's words made me happy. It was really my luck to have such a considerate person. I quickly bid farewell to Lu Ban and look for the professions of hunters, sword masters, axe masters and formation masters.

The swordsman found it after a few minutes, but for some reason, this guy, like the boxer, didn't look at me directly. He just said that his "basic sword technique" was only a master level and he did not have the qualifications to learn from him, which made me wonder. In addition to the "basic sword technique", I also have the intermediate sword technique of "Baogua Dragon Sword" and the mysterious sword technique "Bao Sword". If the former doesn't talk about it, the latter will definitely not be ignored so easily.

Immediately afterwards, I received the same treatment from the axeman, saying that my foundation was "too unsolid", and hoped that I would come after learning the foundation well. This situation reminded me that maybe I could only obtain new skills here when the skills learned through the system reached a bottleneck. This shows a clue from the swordsman and the axeman specifically mentioning "basic sword technique" and "basic axe technique".

Similarly, I was treated coldly by blacksmiths and doctors next, and I ignored me, mastered the four most important blacksmith skills and refined countless top-quality elixirs.

But the most outrageous thing was the old hunter, who said that I focused on "archery" and "trap technique", and abandoned other hunter skills, and did not allow me to learn more advanced skills. I was so angry that I wanted to beat this old guy with messy hair and beard to see who was abandoning other hunter skills.

I said goodbye to the thin and weak old hunter with a little disappointment, and I embarked on the journey of finding a "former master". In fact, after experiencing the swordsman and the axe, I no longer have much hope for the "former master". However, the previous experience with the carpenter told me that not everyone carpenters particularly care about this basic skill, and I can't even be considered a carpenter.

However, "former masters" are not that easy to find. I searched all the eight areas of the Bagua, but found no trace of "former masters". Is there no person from the profession of "former masters" here? No, I just saw a mysterious wizard coming. There shouldn't be no "former masters" who appeared at the same time as the profession of "wizard". Otherwise, if those "former masters" come here, who will find to learn skills?

But the facts tell me that there is no "formula" in the gossip, so there is only one possibility. The "formula" does not live in this gossip. Where is it not in the gossip? Is it outside this building? No, obviously, every race or country has its own building, and the many races and a house on the earth have already occupied the entire village.

Moreover, according to the words of the old patriarch before, the "formation master" did live here. So where was the mistake? In addition, I have searched all eight areas of the gossip, but why didn't I meet the old patriarch and the others? Or, these residential areas themselves are a formation?

Thinking of this in my mind, I observed this large "Bagua Formation". Gan is the sky, Kun is the earth, Gen is the mountain, Dui is the ze, Xun is the wind, Zhen is the thunder, Kan is the water, and Li is the fire. After my observation, the masters of each related attribute live in one area, and the most obvious one is the Taoist priests of each attribute live in eight areas, and each area has several different similar attributes.

Among them, Qiankun is the most mysterious. Just think about the fact that your "Qiankun Ring" can create a space directly; Gen Dui is generally related to earth, while the latter has the attribute of water. The other four attributes are very clear, which makes people see at a glance.

Although I know that the Bagua's Life and Death Gate will change continuously according to time, and according to the current situation, the entire formation should not be fully activated, but I only have a little understanding of the "Bagua Formation". All the formations I master now are only useful. Even the "Five Elements Formation" I have developed myself have the principles of guessing. Alas, this ancient Chinese science is too difficult, and it can hardly exert the game effect in reality, so that almost no one has excellent research in this regard.

I sighed, and I leaned dejectedly against a pillar, thinking in my heart how I could find the "formula master". At this moment, an old voice came from behind me: "My friend, it seems that you are in a bad mood. Do you want to sit down and rest?"

I was shocked and turned around to look at the thin old man sitting in front of a wooden house. I was extremely excited and knew that I had found the real master. Because under the "reconnaissance technique", he had the name of a "formula master".

At the same time, I also knew that I had accidentally entered the territory of this "former master", or that I might have entered under the arrangement of this "former master". Now I don't care about that much anymore, I saluted the old man in front of me and said respectfully: "Old man, boy Moshui wants to learn the formation from you."

"The child is sincere and sincere. I will accept your name. I just hope that you can carry forward this masterpiece and not let it be covered with dust!"

I was overjoyed to hear that I could become a disciple so easily and quickly gave this new deep gift.

The "former master" nodded, as if he was very satisfied with my attitude; then his right hand shook, and a book appeared in his hand and handed it to me: "This is my lifelong research experience on the formation. Take it and take it carefully. If you have anything to understand, just ask me."

I took the book with both hands and shouted: "Thank you, I will live up to your expectations!"

"Okay, go now." After saying that, his right hand shook again, and his wooden house disappeared from my sight at the same time, letting me know that it was indeed him who came out to see me on purpose before, otherwise I would never find him easily. And judging from his position, it seemed as if it was the center of the "Bagua Formation", which should be the eye of the formation.

I put away the book "Detailed Explanation of Formation" in my hand, I took a deep breath and walked out of the building. The "carpenter" will go to the next day: "Formation Master" can ask as long as there are places I don't understand, so I have a lot of time now. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can go around in this "Hidden Village". After all, it's rare to come to this hidden place. If I don't walk around, wouldn't I lose money?

Besides, maybe it may not be possible to get some benefits from the Huaxia tribe. There should be many other races, and at least there must be many "medicine gardens" like the old patriarch mentioned. Hehe, it is also a good thing to relieve the anger in your heart while making profits.

Walking out of the building of the Huaxia people, I looked around and aimed at one of the Western white men dressed as clearly European medieval knights and walked over.

"Who are you?" The Knight paused the knight spear that was four or five meters long in his hand and asked at me.

Although my English is almost illiterate, I can still understand such a simple sentence. I turned my mind slightly and said with a smile: "James York!"

"What kindskillyou wantlearn?" the knight asked with a serious look on his face.

Well, I was a little dumbfounded. I know the word "skill", which means skills. What he asked was what kind of skills I want to learn? Isn't this a big joke? I can actually learn skills from Western knights, and look at that look, as if I was the one who chooses, so I was a little stunned for a moment.

"What kindskillyou wantlearn?" the Knight asked repeatedly.

"What kindskill can I learn?" I asked back with a slight pause.

"Swordsmanship, riding, gunsmanship..." the knight replied.

(Haha, English has not been used for too long, I almost forgot it all, so I should use Chinese, it will be more convenient for everyone to watch)

I carefully considered the excitement in my patience: "Riding, gun technique, fighting spirit."

After pausing, the knight muttered to himself for a while, and then a fluctuation occurred in the space in front of him, and three books were dropped out of it. It looked like the skill book of the "Western Continent".

I took them and looked at them. They were all English versions of skill books, with pictures and various explanations, but I didn't learn them. And relying on my not-rich vocabulary, I knew that these three skill books were just the most basic skills of the profession of Knight.

I was so happy to laugh at myself in my heart. Thinking about it, if I could really learn high-level skills from these foreign races, it would not be a huge bug. However, I am very interested in the wizard skills in Western professions. I can't learn the wizard skills of the "Oriental Continent" at all, but it would be good if I could learn the wizard skills of the West.

So, I entered the building behind the knight and looked for the Western wizard in the surprised eyes of the Western masters. However, the extremely mysterious wizard in front of me didn't pay any attention to me at all. After looking up at me, I lowered my head again and stroked the crystal ball in front of me. Just the moment I left, the crystal ball emitted several large English words, including two of which I didn't know, but according to other words and my own guesses, I knew that the words in front of me were: I am not a game player of the "Western Continent", but a player of the "Eastern Continent", so I couldn't learn her skills.

Why did that knight teach his skills without any conditions before? After cursing in his heart, I wandered around this place, looking for possible benefits.
