Chapter 149 Inheritance
Chapter 149 Inheritance
He stared at the Kunlun sect leader in the main hall, who was dressed in an extremely eye-catching manner, for a long time, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
In the end, I was speechless.
If it weren't for eating fish, he would have eaten the very chair he was sitting on as the sect leader!
Throughout Elder Nie Hui's lengthy welcoming address and expression of hopes, everyone else was deeply moved and excited. Even those with almost completely expressionless faces, like Song Jin, were at least fully absorbed.
He was the only one staring at the Kunlun Sect Leader in the main seat with an expression of utter injustice.
Then, while the elder was giving his long speech, the other person managed to sneak a yawn, then quickly pretended nothing had happened, maintaining a serious demeanor.
This is unbelievable! Even eating fish has become a nightmare!
Finally, Elder Nie Hui finished his speech, which can be summarized as follows: Welcome everyone to Kunlun and become this batch of newly selected Kunlun disciples.
Back at the Wind Pavilion, the elders had already made their selections based on their characteristics. It is fate that we are all here.
Then came the part where the elders and the sect leader recognized their respective disciples.
Originally, in this segment, unfollowing meant he was leaving, but he wanted to stay with the fishing group!
But now things are much better. Everyone he knows from the fishing faction is here, and another one is even sitting in the position of sect leader!
Looking at his clothes, I remembered how he swiftly snatched a handful of silver from my hand—that makes sense. I'll go change into the most eye-catching clothes from Mount Kunlun; I guarantee I'll be the most dazzling one!
Unfollowing is both infuriating and hilarious.
Some people really do keep their word.
All the elders of the Kunlun Sect wore tan elder robes to show their solemnity and composure; only he wore a set of clothes that were shiny, embroidered with gold and silver threads, so extravagant that it looked like he was about to go straight to the moon!
It's definitely the most dazzling one in the entire Kunlun Mountains, without a doubt...
During the final apprenticeship ceremony, the disciples of the Kunlun Sect brought tea, and the ten disciples offered tea to their respective masters in turn.
When he got to the part about unfollowing, Chiyu's heart skipped a beat. Given his past behavior, he expected something unexpected, but nothing happened.
Amidst the surprised gaze of those who ate fish, the disciple diligently followed suit, doing exactly what his previous disciples had done. He kowtowed to the disciple, offered tea, and respectfully called him "Master."
He didn't know before that taking on a master was such a serious matter.
Although I've heard many stories from storytellers, and the saying goes "a teacher for a day is a father for life," those stories were all embellished by the storytellers.
He had never had a master before and didn't know that becoming a master was such a formal process!
If he had known earlier, he would have seriously sought out a master from the very beginning.
Whatever other people's masters have, his master must have too.
We've overlooked things in the past, so today we have a chance to start all over again.
He unfollowed others in a similar manner, yet he was more devout than all the previous new disciples.
The loud thud as he kowtowed startled the other elders and new disciples.
The Kunlun Sect disciples watching the ceremony in the main hall secretly laughed; someone had gone and was really stubborn.
The literal meaning.
Pang Jiuyun chuckled along with his fellow disciples. This new junior brother was indeed quite interesting!
No wonder they managed to snatch the bag from his back.
In the hall, someone choked on their tea while eating fish, cough cough cough!
I almost coughed myself to death.
"Sect Leader?" several elders asked with concern.
Are you alright?
While eating the fish, he coughed and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, the tea was too hot, I choked."
Then he continued coughing.
Several elders were swollen.
Unfollowing suddenly made me realize that "Eating Fish" is still the same "Eating Fish," just with a different alias, but the core is the same...
After the apprenticeship ceremony ended, Chi Yu was still coughing, so the Grand Elder asked Pang Jiuyun to take several new fellow disciples to their lodgings.
“Yes.” Pang Jiuyun stepped forward.
After the sect leader and several elders left, the solemn and serious atmosphere vanished, and a group of fellow disciples surrounded them, greeting them warmly, and the hall suddenly became lively.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable with this situation, Pang Jiuyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll take you to your accommodation."
A large group of fellow disciples accompanied them.
Although unfollowing feels a bit strange, I find this scene very heartwarming.
Along the way, the fellow disciples joked and laughed, and being with a group of young and energetic people made everything around us seem brighter.
This place is different from the Divine Heaven Sect.
The fellow students here have a very good relationship.
The newlyweds all stayed in four-person rooms.
I unfollowed Lei Pangzi (Lei Shi), Song Jin, and another guy who looked handsome but wasn't very tall. I vaguely remembered him; his name was Fu Jin, and we were in the same group in the second round. Fu Jin was the kind of person who was cautious in everything he did, even when talking to people or going to sleep at night. I wondered what he was wary of.
Hearing this, Wang Sumo was slightly surprised: "Fu Jin, that name sounds familiar?"
Old Master Qu: "..."
Wang Sumo seemed to have suddenly discovered something amazing: (⊙o⊙)…
"Is it, Grandpa!" Wang Sumo exclaimed excitedly, "Is it Jinniang?!"
Although excited, Wang Sumo still lowered her voice.
The old man probably didn't want others to hear about what happened in Kunlun back then, especially not at a time like this.
Who hasn't been young?
Suddenly hearing Jinniang's name in the old man's memories, still in Kunlun, Wang Sumo felt both excited and sad.
The old man and Jinniang had known each other since they were young, but Jinniang must have passed away later...
Wang Sumo suddenly became depressed.
If she's like this, the old man must be even worse.
“It’s Jinniang.” The old man’s voice was warm: “Her name is Fu Jin. Back then, everyone who could become a Kunlun disciple had something special about them. Even Fatty Lei was truly lucky all the way; Song Jin rarely spoke and was taciturn, but he was efficient and decisive; Fu Jin, on the other hand, had read a lot of books and was bookish, but she was full of clever ideas.”
Wang Sumo blinked, not interrupting the old man, but suddenly understood: a clever woman disguised as a man had managed to infiltrate the Kunlun Sect as a disciple, and had met another clever person who had somehow ended up on Kunlun Mountain.
The old man may seem carefree, but he is actually very thoughtful and caring.
Ah, a beautiful story is unfolding little by little~
Of course, the story begins with the fish-eating senior.
The disciples of the Kunlun Sect all live in the designated area for disciples, and their rooms are assigned according to the time they entered the sect. Because they entered at different times and learned different things, disciples who entered the inner sect in different years are grouped together.
I get up every morning to exercise.
The morning exercise was organized by the senior disciples of the sect, such as Pang Jiuyun.
After morning exercise comes breakfast. There's a fair amount of food, and sometimes you have to fight for it. The last person to eat will never get any food. This is a rule set by Elder Nie Hui to prevent everyone from dawdling.
Lei Pangzi was lucky because he was always the second to last in breakfast. Then, while eating, he would pat his chest and think, "Wow, I'm so lucky. I almost didn't get to eat breakfast."
But actually, it was Song Jin who never went to eat breakfast. As long as he didn't go, Fatty Lei would definitely get to eat.
Sometimes, I feel like these two are quite sweet together.
But Song Jin disliked the fat man because he was noisy.
After breakfast comes the morning lesson, which is taught by the elders and seniors of the sect, covering basic knowledge, both literary and martial arts.
Each cycle lasts five days, with a four-day work period followed by a one-day rest period after each cycle.
But the disciples of the Kunlun Sect are very diligent; they will go to the Wind Pavilion even if they don't attend classes.
In the afternoon, we went to our respective masters to learn, and each master was in charge of our own progress.
Some elders have many disciples, so each disciple has less time to teach, and most of the time is spent teaching by the senior disciples.
But unfollow here, unfollow: "..."
He only had one apprentice who ate fish.
After unfollowing him, I finally understand why the elders and Pang Jiuyun were so curious about him; he's the only son of his kind...
But even now, he still finds it hard to associate eating fish with the title of Kunlun Sect Leader.
"There are plenty of talented, promising, qualified, and well-connected young people in the world, so why choose me as your disciple?" The first lesson after joining the Kunlun Sect involved the two of them grilling fish on the back mountain, as usual. Now his fish-grilling skills were so proficient that he no longer needed to cook the fish himself, but he still found grilling fish enjoyable, so the two of them grilled fish together.
When asked about unfollowing him, the fish-eating guy nonchalantly replied, "Didn't you already guess? When I was young, I'd go to great lengths for my friends, only to be stabbed in the back by them in return. The world is so cold!"
The coldness of human relationships sounded to him like too much salt.
He continued eating fish: "When I saw you in the capital that day, I was suddenly reminded of myself when I was young. Oh dear, why couldn't I save myself when someone stabbed me in the back? So I saved you. I originally just wanted to save you, but then I felt that we were kindred spirits. The world is so big, how many people have I met? So it was you."
At this point, Chi Yu sighed, "We'll have to use a few boxes of pastries to bribe them!"
It's even more frustrating than getting a fishbone stuck in your throat.
Unfollowed Laugh: "Then why are you dressed in rags and unkempt clothes?"
Even while eating fish, he laughed: "Hey, I rescued you from among dozens or even hundreds of people in the capital. They chased me for dozens of miles. This was a private matter. Do you expect me to openly tell them that I am the head of the Kunlun Sect!"
Unfollow: "..."
However, it seems to make sense.
"Is the Kunlun Sect really that poor?" the follower asked again, puzzled. "You've been spending my money the whole way."
Chi Yu said leisurely, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring that much silver with me. It's enough for me if I don't save you. Why would I bring so much if I only have enough? It's up to each person whether they have enough or not."
Unfollowing him suddenly made him realize that eating fish was more interesting than he had imagined.
He ate the fish without saying a word.
The person who unfollowed continued to ask, "Why did you lie to me and say I was a fishing party member?"
"I'm not kidding you!" he said seriously while eating the fish.
Unfollow him and see: "..."
Chi Yu explained: "Look, the Fishing True Qi, Water-Taking Palm, Stone-Touching Palm, and Window-Slapping Palm are all fishing techniques I created myself."
Unfollow: "..."
Eating Fish: "So, it's just the two of us who belong to the Fishing Faction; but we're also part of the Kunlun Faction. You see, this doesn't affect the daily activities of our Fishing Faction. You've joined the Kunlun Faction too, killing two birds with one stone."
Unfollow: "..."
Take the inside worm: !@#$%^&*(), damn it, killing two birds with one stone!
"So, the Fishing True Qi, Water-Taking Palm, Stone-Turning Palm, and Window-Slapping Palm are not Kunlun Sect techniques?" Unfollowing me was unexpected.
A systematic set of exercises requires progressive and interconnected steps, and necessitates considerable skill.
This set of exercises was created by Chi Yu himself.
His skill in eating fish has probably reached its pinnacle!
“Yes, it’s self-created.” While eating the fish, he said, “You see, I’ve been practicing Kunlun Kung Fu for so long, from childhood to adulthood. A Kung Fu technique is never perfect from the moment it is created. It depends on the ability, strengths, and vision of the person who created it. Therefore, many Kung Fu techniques continue to be improved while the creator is still alive.”
Unfollowing someone is something I don't quite understand.
Chi Yu continued, “The Kunlun Kung Fu has been around for over two hundred years. Many things have changed in those two hundred years. What seemed right back then may not be right now. I told several elders that some things in the Kunlun Kung Fu should be changed. But the elders said that these are things left by our ancestors and cannot be changed. The Kunlun Sect has relied on this for a hundred or two hundred years, and the foundation cannot be moved.”
I think I understand now that you've unfollowed me.
Chi Yu sighed softly, "Well, so the Kunlun Kung Fu can't be changed, but a person's pursuit of martial arts can't stop. So I created the Fishing Kung Fu based on the loopholes in the Kunlun Kung Fu, along with matching Window-Slapping Palm, Water-Taking Palm, and Stone-Turning Palm."
Unfollow: "..."
“Of course.” Eating Fish chuckled. “You came up with the name; I hadn’t thought of one before. But you suggested one, and I thought it would suit me. That’s the beauty of our fishing group—we discuss things together.”
The key is that the price is too high.
It really does possess fishing internal energy and a bunch of martial arts techniques.
"But didn't you say that a person can only learn one internal energy cultivation method, otherwise they will suffer from qi deviation?" Unfollow him: "But Kunlun has its own cultivation method."
Eating Fish laughed and said, "I'm a genius, hahaha. My fishing true energy is derived from the Kunlun Heart Method. You can think of it as a modified version of the Kunlun Heart Method. One foundation, two paths, which others cannot discover."
Unfollow: !!!
Is that even possible?!
Eating Fish continued, "I just want to find someone with a quick mind who knows not only what to do but also why to do it, so that one day, when these obstacles are not so strong, I can return the fishing essence to the Kunlun Heart Sutra."
Unfollowed and stunned.
The fishmonger looked at him and said, "You're quick-witted and brave, that's why I took you as my apprentice. If I can't do it this generation, yours will. When these elders get old, find a few who you can talk to and who are willing to help Kunlun improve. The resistance will gradually decrease. Haste makes waste, there's always a way. Otherwise, with one new sect after another appearing, Kunlun will eventually decline..."
This sentence, "unfollow," reveals the desolation in the tone of the fish-eating voice.
The Kunlun Sect is the number one sect in the world, but it carries too many burdens, so it is constrained in everything it does.
If we were to take action, it would affect the interests of many people.
Therefore, many people will uphold and adhere to the old ways, especially when things are at their peak.
Unfollowing me makes me understand eating fish a bit better now.
"Study hard, don't let me down, and don't let your mind rot away. You need to know what you want. If one day you find that you can't handle this yourself, then pass on some things, don't let them die out, so that future generations will have the opportunity to carry on the torch..."
This was the first time Chi Yu had talked to him about such a deep topic, and it was also his first lesson since arriving in Kunlun.
Previously, he thought that eating fish was not a good thing in Kunlun; but actually, it was from that time that he slowly began to understand eating fish and realized that he had an inseparable longing for this place where he grew up.
Wang Sumo looked at him and said softly, "So, Grandpa, you left Kunlun because you promised Senior Eat Fish that there were some things that needed to be passed down. The Cloud Piercing Mountain Breaking Hand, the Window Tapping Palm, the Water Taking Palm, and the Stone Pointing Palm are all from the same lineage, right?"
The old man looked at her and said gently, "Yes, my master is gone. I have to perfect the fishing technique for him. Nothing is perfect. The truly perfect thing is that people continue to pass it down, improve it, and discard the dross while keeping the essence. I comprehended the Cloud Piercing Mountain Breaking Hand when I met my disciple. He has Buddhist compassion, so the Cloud Piercing Mountain Breaking Hand contains compassion."
Wang Sumo was slightly taken aback, but it was true.
The power to pierce clouds and shatter mountains is immense, yet it can be used without taking a life.
The old man rarely took people's lives.
A person's understanding of martial arts is inseparable from their experiences, and the old man's experiences have led to the continuous evolution of fishing techniques.
The old man continued, "I've been stuck on the Cloud Piercing Mountain Breaking Hand technique for many years, but meeting Bai Cen gave me a new understanding."
Wang Sumo suddenly realized: "No wonder you like him so much."
The old man was stunned: "Is it that obvious?"
Wang Sumo smiled.
The old man sighed, "That kid has a sect, and it's not a weak one. He won't learn fishing techniques. I promised my master that I would pass on fishing techniques to those who are willing to stay in Kunlun."
This is the unbreakable bond between the old man and Kunlun...
Senior Fish Eater was right. Kunlun declined later, and powerful sects rose one after another. No one can stand still and remain unchanged.
"And then what?" Wang Sumo continued, still searching for He Huai'an's figure in the old man's memories.
