Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...
Qin Yuan stopped and looked back.
I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest slumped under the eaves, his lips trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Li Dejian stood in front of Qin Yuan, looking alert, and shouted:
"Who are you?"
I only saw the Taoist priest.
The Taoist robe was tattered and dirty.
His beard, hair, and eyebrows were all tangled and messy like grass.
There was a wine jug hanging around his waist, which he would pick up from time to time and take a gulp.
Then he stood up unsteadily, swinging his limbs around.
He stumbled over to the two of them.
With bleary eyes and flushed cheeks, he said drunkenly, "Sir, please...please stay!"
Qin Yuan looked the Taoist up and down and decided in his heart that he was a blind charlatan.
"What are you going to do!" Li Dejian asked sternly.
The Taoist priest ignored Li Dejian and just took out a yellowed book from his arms.
He said drunkenly: "Burp——"
"Young Master!"
"I see that you have extraordinary talents, and you are a rare martial arts prodigy."
"I have a secret manual here. I think it's meant for you, so I'll sell it to you for ten strings of cash."
"Go away, go away, where did this liar come from? He's so greedy for money that he tried to scam my big brother!"
As he spoke, Li Dejian took out a few copper coins from his pocket, placed them in his hand, and said:
"You look like you're starving. Take this money and go buy something to eat."
Wow!
Hearing this familiar line, Qin Yuan exclaimed, "Wow!"
Could it be that I have met a time traveler?
I wonder if he will sell that palm technique that comes down from the sky - Tathagata Palm!
"Is this secret book authentic?" Qin Yuan thought and gave a secret signal.
The Taoist priest put the copper coin into his sleeve without leaving any trace, and cheered up:
"Of course it's authentic!"
Qin Yuan pointed at Li Dejian in front of him.
"If you can withstand twenty of his moves, I will trust you."
The Taoist priest waved his hands repeatedly.
"belch--"
"Sir, please don't joke around. I'm no match for this burly young general."
"I'm really not good at fighting with others, hiccup——"
Li Dejian was also stunned in the spot, turned his head, and said hesitantly: "Brother, this is not good, right?"
Qin Yuan kicked him directly on the butt, kicked him out, and flew towards the old Taoist.
"Sir, spare my life!"
The old Taoist was startled, shrank his body, and narrowly slipped past Li Dejian's side.
Li Dejian staggered a few steps and finally managed to stand firm.
He turned around and looked suspiciously at the drunken old Taoist in front of him.
Li Dejian threw a tentative punch straight at the old Taoist's face.
The old Taoist was frightened by the punch, his body went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground.
He lay down and narrowly avoided the punch.
Li Dejian had the answer in his mind and immediately stopped holding back.
He threw another punch with all his might.
The old Taoist was so scared that he wanted to run forward, but his legs seemed to be rooted to the ground and he couldn't move.
Just when the punch was about to hit him in the face.
I saw him just stretch out his foot and hook it, then follow the trend.
Li Dejian immediately lost his balance and fell over the old Taoist priest.
At the same time, the old Taoist rolled on the ground to avoid the overwhelming force.
Qin Yuan, who was watching the fight from the side, raised his eyebrows. This drunk Taoist priest really had skills.
Although he seemed to be fleeing in a panic without any plan, he easily avoided Li Dejian's moves.
It's like playing with a monkey.
Li Dejian jumped up, turned around and retreated to Qin Yuan, staring at the Taoist priest on the ground with a vigilant look on his face.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were covered in dust, and he looked very disheveled.
Qin Yuan's eyes were fixed on the secret book in the Taoist's hand.
This is probably the real thing.
"What is the name of your secret book?" Qin Yuan stared at the old Taoist and asked tentatively.
The old Taoist got up from the ground, took out a wrinkled secret book from his arms, and handed it to Qin Yuan.
Obviously, they were not worried that Qin Yuan would steal the goods and run away.
Qin Yuan took the dusty secret book from his hand and took a look at the title "Nine Yang Divine Art".
I immediately shouted in my heart: Good guy!
I immediately flipped through the pages excitedly and read the following:
He can be strong as he wants,
The breeze blows over the hills;
Let him do whatever he wants,
The bright moon shines on the river.
He is cruel to himself and evil to himself,
I have enough energy from a single breath.
Show, they are probably from the same industry!
Qin Yuan was very familiar with these phrases.
Looking down again, he was instantly disheveled.
What--
"Inhale and exhale the nine yangs, embrace the one and contain the essence."
“…”
Anyway, they were all mysterious things and he couldn't understand them at all, as if he was illiterate.
"Taoist, you didn't steal this secret book from Buddhism, did you?"
Qin Yuan closed the secret book and looked at him with burning eyes.
The old Taoist immediately became furious, gesticulating and shouting, "Pooh, pooh, pooh!"
"Those old bald donkeys can have such good things?"
"This 'Nine Yang Divine Art' is the most precious treasure of our Taiyi Zhen Sect!"
He immediately snatched the secret book from Qin Yuan's hand, opened it, and pointed at the words "Let him be as strong as he can."
"How could those bald asses write such a sentence?"
"This is clearly the supreme realm of my Taoist freedom and selflessness!"
Qin Yuan nodded, saying that made some sense.
This passage does sound like Taoist thought.
You mind your own business and I'll live mine.
"Okay, I'll buy your secret book, Xiao Li will pay for it!"
