Chapter 34 Tailor-made Mountain-Splitting Slash
The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and all the flowers in Chang'an can be seen in one day.
When Chu Ning saw Uncle Huang again, this poem came to his mind.
He could clearly feel that Uncle Huang was more high-spirited and majestic than before.
Sometimes, power and status can also change a person's momentum.
"Xiao Ning, Uncle Huang has been so busy with clan affairs these days that he was unable to spare time until today. How are you? Are you tired of staying in this courtyard? I heard from the housekeeper that you haven't even stepped out of the door yet?"
"Uncle Huang, I'm just a kid from a small place who hasn't seen the world. It's better for me to stay in the yard. If I go out and make a fuss, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you, Uncle Huang, if someone sees me?"
"What shame, who dares to laugh at you!"
Huang Zhongtai's eyes widened, then he smiled and said, "Now you can go out and have a look around. After a few days of fun, bring your old aunt to Qingzhou Prefecture."
Chu Ning was silent. Uncle Huang wanted to move by himself? "Uncle Huang, forget it. My aunt is old and used to living in Daning County. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the climate in Qingzhou. It's not suitable for an old lady to move."
To be honest, Chu Ning did have a brief moment of urge to do so, but then he rejected the idea in his mind.
One reason is that my aunt might not be able to adapt to the local climate at this age because she has moved away from the place where she has lived for decades. Another reason is that she doesn't want to get too close to the Huang family.
There is a lot of infighting among the big forces. Since I have the Longevity Fruit, I can be self-reliant and steadily improve my strength. It is best to be in a small county like Daning County.
It won’t be too late to travel around the world after you’ve broken through to become a military general.
A life span of ten thousand years does not require a moment's rush.
In his previous life, he had seen the prosperity of the world. In this life, he was not a monk. When he followed Lao Liao to watch opera, he did not eat only vegetarian food. He had seen meat, but he found it boring after just a few glances.
There aren't many things going on in this small county town, and the women in the brothels are just average, nowhere near as entertaining as those internet celebrities in previous lives.
It's a complete win just in terms of role playing and costumes.
So after going there a few times, Chu Ning gave up.
Qingzhou Prefecture would probably be better, but the brothels will remain there.
There will never be a girl who is eighteen years old in a brothel, but there are girls who are eighteen years old every year.
Wait a minute, if we’re going to play, let’s play the best.
Young people just don’t understand this point. They fall in love when they are the poorest. If you are poor, you should work hard. When you become rich, there will be plenty of women willing to date you.
"It's out of filial piety, but Uncle Huang didn't consider this." Huang Zhongtai nodded, and did not persuade Chu Ning to stay, but said: "Come with me."
Huang Zhongtai took Chu Ning through the pavilions and courtyards of the Huang family. There were lush flowers and trees along the way, the corridors were decorated with lifelike carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, and the roads paved with bluestone slabs gave off a sense of antiquity.
Chu Ning bowed respectfully to all the Huang family members and servants he met along the way. He understood that Uncle Huang had spent seven days building up prestige in the hearts of the family members.
Finally, the two stopped in front of a three-story attic.
There were six guards guarding the attic door. The middle-aged man in the lead had a sharp look in his eyes. When he saw Huang Zhongtai, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Xiao Ning, this is the library of my Huang family. Due to family rules, only Huang family members can go up to the second and third floors. But there are some martial arts secrets on the first floor. You can pick two."
"Uncle Huang, this is not appropriate."
"Don't worry, this is within my authority as the young master of the family. In fact, the reason why my Huang family is what it is today is because we have recruited talents from all over the world. These people can also enter the first floor of the library."
Huang Zhongtai patted Chu Ning on the shoulder and gave him a look that encouraged him to go in and make his choice. Chu Ning was not polite anymore. He really needed a martial arts technique to make up for his shortcomings in close combat.
He had carefully studied the dual-sword martial arts manual of the eighth-grade martial artist he had killed in the past few days, but found it was not suitable for him.
This kind of double sword style uses dexterity. If you learn this style, it means you are giving up your advantage of great strength, which is not advisable.
After entering the attic, Chu Ning saw three bookshelves at a glance, and on the right side of the attic there was a staircase leading to the second floor. There was no one guarding the staircase, but it was not certain whether there was a second floor.
There are ten secret books on each bookshelf. After observing them, Chu Ning roughly understood why they were placed on three bookshelves, because each bookshelf contained different types of martial arts.
The first bookshelf is mainly about fists and kicks: "Black Dragon Palm", "Thunderbolt Fist", "Shadowless Kick", "Sun and Moon Finger", "Seven Wound Fist"...
The name is very domineering, but after Chu Ning took a quick look at it, he confirmed that it was just on the same level as the Bull Demon Fist.
The books on the second bookshelf are mainly about common weapons: "Sun and Moon Slash", "River Cutting Axe", "Water Cutting Sword", "Shadowless Spear"...
The third bookshelf is for more niche weapons. Chu Ning found the martial arts secret book he needed, "Seven Stars in a Row", on this bookshelf. It is a martial arts secret book on archery.
In addition, after thinking for a moment, Chu Ning chose a sword technique called "Splitting the Mountain". This sword technique is simple and unpretentious, and it pursues speed and strength, which is very suitable for him.
After selecting the secret book, Chu Ning left the attic. Huang Zhongtai had left for something, and the butler was waiting for him at the door.
"Mr. Chu has chosen." The housekeeper smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, you can take these two martial arts secret books to the courtyard to observe and memorize them, but you cannot take them out of the Huang family. This is the Huang family rule. Even the master can't do anything about it."
"Another point is that you can practice these two martial arts secrets yourself, Mr. Chu, but you cannot pass them on to others." When he said this, the butler lowered his voice and said, "The master means that it is not allowed in the short term at least."
Chu Ning nodded to show that he understood. Uncle Huang is still the young master of the family and has not yet become the head of the family. So many eyes are watching him. Once he becomes the head of the family and has complete power, this problem will no longer exist.
For the next half month, Chu Ning practiced "Splitting the Mountain" and "Seven Star Link Arrow Technique" in the yard.
The practice of these two martial arts techniques allowed Chu Ning to once again confirm the fact that he was brave and good at shooting.
When choosing a weapon, you still have to find the right one for you.
Whether it is "Splitting the Mountain" or "Seven Stars in a Row", his progress is much faster than when he was practicing the Bull Demon Fist.
One reason is that he is already a martial artist and has a foundation in martial arts. As the saying goes, if you master one method, you will master all methods. There must be something in common between martial arts techniques.
But the main reason is that these two exercises are really suitable for me.
"Splitting the Mountain and Slashing" emphasizes ruthlessness, ferocity and accuracy, with each strike of the sword being simple and unadorned. The most powerful aspect of this sword technique is the ability to unleash one's own strength on the blade through a special method of exerting force.
The limit of the Bull Demon Fist is ten times the strength, but practicing to the limit will inevitably lead to a breakthrough to the martial artist possessing dark power.
But "Splitting the Mountain" is different. Every strike of "Splitting the Mountain" reaches the limit of strength and speed, and it is an extreme swing from the very first strike.
If you practice it to the extreme, you can unleash twenty times the power.
Even high-level martial arts are about this level, and the reason why "Splitting the Mountain" with such power is placed at the first level is because in order to burst out high-multiple power, there is a basic strength requirement.
It takes a force of ten thousand pounds to explode twenty times.
This makes "Splitting the Mountain" a bit useless, but for Chu Ning it is tailor-made for him.
Give yourself ten years. Even if your strength cannot reach 10,000 kilograms, 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms should be no problem. The power of the Mountain Splitting Slash also exceeds that of ordinary martial arts such as the Bull Demon Fist.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The real three-move undefeated suicide is here."
This is Chu Ning’s summary of “Splitting the Mountain”. If the sword technique with the fastest speed and greatest power cannot kill the opponent, then it is time to admit defeat and commit suicide.
“The reason why I can progress so fast in practice may be due to my personality. I am a bold and open person and don’t like to play any tricks. If I can win, I will win. If I can’t win, I won’t win.” Chu Ning summed it up.
…
Half a month later, Chu Ning said goodbye. Huang Zhongtai gave him a silver note of 10,000 taels, but Chu Ning refused it.
Protecting Uncle Huang's wife and children was an act of repaying his kindness, and obtaining two martial arts skills was enough.
Seeing that Chu Ning refused to accept it, Huang Zhongtai finally gave Chu Ning five bottles of "Kai Mai Dan". This kind of elixir was extremely scarce outside, but it was nothing to the Huang family. Any member of the Huang family with a little talent in martial arts could receive a bottle every year.
Chu Ning also had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Huang family, or the strength of the eight major surnames in the world.
Before getting on the carriage, the butler stuffed a few silver bills into Chu Ning's hands.
Chu Ning accepted the money. According to the housekeeper, this was found on the bodies of the people who went to Xiafeng Town to clean up the mess.
This is the result of his hard work, he deserves it.
…
…
Xiafeng Town.
When Chu Ning stepped into the town again, a citizen at the entrance was dumbfounded.
"Lao Xu, whose woman were you peeping at again? Your fierce wife found out and made you stand at the town gate as punishment?"
"Chu...Lord Chu, you are back!"
Old Xu ignored Chu Ning's teasing. After being stunned for three seconds, he suddenly shouted loudly, "Master Chu is back!"
In an instant, the sound spread throughout the town, and many people took to the streets, welcoming Chu Ning back with excited expressions.
"It's great that Master Chu is back."
"I knew that Lord Chu would be fine, but my wife still didn't believe it. She is really short-sighted."
The woman who was accused of being short-sighted was not angry. She just looked at Chu Ning with a smile. She felt glad that Lord Chu was back. With his return, their Xiafeng Town could be peaceful again.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the townspeople, Chu Ning also felt a little emotional.
As a constable who collects protection fees, I am loved by the people. It’s not because I am so good, but because of the support from my colleagues.
The world is really so ridiculous. Ordinary people will be grateful to those who exploit them, just because this person exploits less than others.
"Master Chu, please go to the police station and take a look. During your absence, other masters came to the police station."
Chu Ning walked all the way towards the police station. When he heard the people whispering, his eyes narrowed slightly. Was someone occupying his police station while he was away from Xiafeng Town?
According to what Uncle Huang said, he arranged for someone to clean up the mess in Daning County...
This ending should refer to cleaning up the corpses. As for the fact that some constables wanted to take the opportunity to pick peaches in Xiafeng Town, Uncle Huang probably never thought of this at all.
With a different status, one looks at things at a different level. Uncle Huang probably didn't care about such a small matter. The head of the police in Xiafeng Town probably didn't know Uncle Huang's background. When he saw that Uncle Huang was gone and he himself was missing, he wanted to swallow up the fat piece of meat of Xiafeng Town.
After thinking this through, Chu Ning came up with an idea.
It seems that I need to let the county's chief of police know that Xiafeng Town is not something they can focus on.
Thanks to everyone, the first round of follow-up reading was good, so we skipped directly to the third round of new book PK. The advantage is higher exposure, but the disadvantage is that the number of readers will be less than those who did not skip. So please continue to follow up!
