Chapter 89 True and False Secret Book
Practicing martial arts is a very physically demanding activity.
But the villagers seemed to become more energetic as they practiced, and the masters seemed to become more enthusiastic as they taught.
More people applied to become masters and teach their unique martial arts skills.
But not everyone’s skills are suitable for teaching.
For example, if someone wants to teach the technique of rejuvenation, it won’t work.
Because practicing this skill requires sucking raw blood, which is too unclean. Moreover, if all the animal blood is sucked dry, there will be no ingredients for making Maoxuewang in the kitchen in the future.
The idea of rejuvenation was firmly rejected.
The Lion Roar Technique was also rejected by everyone.
It's already very noisy when one person practices, and if there are more people practicing, the villagers will be deafened.
Now everyone in the village, from the elderly in their seventies and eighties to the youngest Xue Che, is practicing martial arts.
Even the village chief Hao Ren was doing horse stance at home under the supervision of Wu Yingniang.
Su Zhizhi wanted to learn all kinds of martial arts, but after trying them all, she found that she still liked the whip around her waist the most.
But there was no one on the mountain who could use a whip.
Old Man Qin only knows how to make a whip for Zhizhi, and he doesn't know how to whip.
Su Zhizhi has always played with the whip herself, using it to split stones, hit fruits, and beat bad guys.
She has never learned any serious martial arts.
"Mom, you said that my mother in heaven also used a whip. How did she learn that?" Su Zhizhi asked Wu Ying's mother.
Xue Che is currently practicing her inner cultivation skills. If she isn't careful, she'll be surpassed by my younger brother!
Wu Yingniang said helplessly, "Xuan'er never found a master to learn whip fighting. She said she just bought two secret manuals from a roadside stall and figured out the moves herself."
The secret techniques cannot be practiced randomly. If practiced incorrectly, it can damage your internal strength at best, or lead to insanity at worst.
Although Pei Xuan has a good foundation in martial arts, this does not prevent Wu Yingniang from suspecting that Pei Xuan bought a fake book.
Pei Xuan said she only spent ten cents and got two as a buy one get one free deal!
Even Wu Yingniang admired her generosity.
Su Zhizhi thought it was amazing: "Where is the secret book? I want to see what my mother left behind."
Su Zhizhi wanted to see the old things left by her biological mother, and Wu Yingniang naturally would not refuse.
Wu Yingniang went to the bottom of the big box in the room and pulled out two books:
"This is what your mother left behind. She only practiced one of the books, and she didn't have the chance to practice the other one."
Su Zhizhi saw two dusty books with the following words written on them:
Golden Dragon Whip Technique, White Python Whip Technique
Wu Yingniang pointed at the booklet and said, "Your mother has only practiced the White Python Whip Technique, but not the Golden Dragon Whip Technique yet."
"And this booklet doesn't look right. It's filled with circles and lines, not even a single proper word. How can it be real?"
Wu Yingniang tried to convince her daughter with logic.
Su Zhizhi curiously and excitedly opened the secret book, and saw that there was really no word on the pages. The pictures on it looked like little people and little snakes.
Su Zhizhi was even happier: "That's it! I'll practice this."
Wu Yingniang took the secret book back and said, "Don't practice it randomly."
Su Zhizhi threw herself on Wu Yingniang and begged her with all her might.
Finally, Wu Yingniang relented, "Let's go find Pavilion Master Ni and see if he knows. The Shenfeng Pavilion has a large collection of books. If he says it's fake, then it must be fake."
Wu Yingniang took Su Zhizhi to find Ni Tianji.
During this period, apart from doing work assigned by the village, Ni Tianji spent the rest of his time in Qiu Jinyu's small courtyard.
Ever since the last incident, Qiu Jinyu hasn't worn a mask for some time.
After all, this face has been seen by everyone, so there is no point in covering it up. If something happens again, I can just make up another face and stick it on.
Anyway, no one can tell whether her current face is real or fake.
The villagers changed her name from Aunt Qiu to Sister Qiu.
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che also gradually changed their way of addressing her to call her "Aunt Qiu".
Qiu Jinyu was making pickled radishes in the yard. She cut the radishes that had been dried to a crisp into small pieces, mixed them with seasonings, and stuffed them into a large jar.
Ni Tianji was pretending to sweep the floor with a broom, but he only swept the area around Qiu Jinyu.
Qiu Jinyu suppressed a laugh: "If you want to sweep, then sweep it well and sweep the whole yard clean."
Seeing Qiu Jinyu taking the initiative to talk to him, Ni Tianji suddenly became energetic: "I'll sweep it right away, I'll sweep it right away."
When Ni Tianji swept to the gate of the yard, Wu Yingniang and Su Zhizhi just walked to the gate.
Wu Yingniang: "Pavilion Master Ni, Sister Qiu."
"Uncle Ni, Aunt Qiu."
While greeting, Su Zhizhi ran to Qiu Jinyu to help pack the radishes.
Ni Tianji said to Wu Yingniang, "You're welcome. I'm no longer the head of the Shenfeng Pavilion."
Wu Yingniang: "What should I call you?"
Ni Tianji: "Just call me Brother-in-law Qiu."
Bang--
Qiu Jinyu threw a piece of pickled radish from behind and hit Ni Tianji on the back of the head.
"If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be able to sleep in the yard tonight."
Ni Tianji grabbed the carrot and said, "It was just a joke."
"I brought Zhizhi here to ask Brother Ni for help. Are these two whip-manship manuals real or fake?"
Wu Yingniang didn't intend to waste any more time, so she took out two booklets and explained her purpose.
"Zhizhi wants to practice according to this, but I'm worried that she's still young and if she practices something fake..."
Ni Tianji took the two secret books from Wu Yingniang, flipped through a few pages, and his expression changed slightly.
There are so many books in the Sutra Library of the Kamikaze Pavilion that it is impossible for him to remember the specific contents of each one.
However, a small plum blossom seal is printed on the lower left corner of the third-to-last page of each book in the Sutra Repository to identify it as a collection of the Kamikaze Pavilion.
The pattern of the plum blossom seal is small and delicate, so outsiders don’t pay much attention to it and it is even more difficult to imitate.
The two books that Wu Yingniang brought had the plum blossom seal of Shenfeng Pavilion on the lower left corner of the third to last page.
"This book is real," Ni Tianji suddenly turned his head with a half-smile and looked at Qiu Jinyu who was stuffing pickled radish.
"Aqiu, don't you think so?"
Su Zhizhi blinked her big eyes and said, "Aunt Qiu, can you also tell whether the secret book is real or fake?"
Qiu Jinyu was also confused: "Why are you asking me?"
Ni Tianji came over and showed Qiu Jinyu the cover of the book:
"Back then, you were so angry that you stole books from the Sutra Library. You threw a few of them back at me, but two of them disappeared with you."
There was someone responsible for taking inventory of the Sutra Library every day, and that year they discovered that the "Golden Dragon Whip Technique" and the "White Python Whip Technique" were missing.
Qiu Jinyu now had some recollection. She did have two books left on her at that time, and they were taken away by her.
But she shook her head very firmly, saying no without even looking:
"Oh, no, no, it's definitely not the two books I took away."
She covered the jar tightly and sighed:
"I was ignorant and angry back then, so when I passed by a street vendor, I casually threw the two secret manuals to the vendor, mistaking them for fake books."
"Later, I regretted it and wanted to go back and look for it, but I heard it was sold for just ten cents. Alas, there were so many people around, I couldn't find it anymore..."
Wu Yingniang was dumbfounded and walked forward quickly:
"Sister Qiu, where did you sell it? Think carefully about where you sold it."
Oh my god!
It's actually true!
