Chapter 50 Apprenticeship
The sun rises slowly from the east horizon, and the coolness of the morning is immediately driven away. A new day in the hot summer is about to begin.
The endless jingle sound came from the top of the high Biquan Peak. A group of people sat around the open space of Yongyue Villa. In the distance, there were two people fighting fiercely with swords in their hands.
Since Lin Lingfeng decided to teach Li Ming's martial arts, after sending all the guests away yesterday, Lin Lingfeng and his wife, Master Leran, Huang San, etc., stayed and wanted to help Li Ming. Early this morning, everyone gathered in Yongyue Villa and was about to take the exam to teach Li Ming's martial arts, but Lin Lingfeng suddenly had a skill itch and wanted to compete with Master Leran first. Both of them had not fought for many years. After hearing this proposal, Master Leran happily agreed, so the two began to fight at the top of Biquan Peak.
The two men were shaped like flowing clouds and flowing water, and their swords were like eagles attacking the sky; their bodies were as fast as lightning, and their swords were as heavy as rains and winds. The powerful internal force formed a series of strong airflows around them, spreading rapidly around them. The group of people watching the battle from afar were scattered by the strong airflow, and their clothes were scattered and unsteady. Under the illumination of the rising sun, only faint figures and dazzling sword lights reflected in everyone's eyes.
Li Ming was stunned and dazed from the side. He never thought that a person's martial arts could reach this level. In his heart, Lin Long's martial arts were already shocking enough, but it was still much worse than the two people in front of him.
Huang San shook his plump head and stared blankly at the two people fighting in front of him, muttering to himself: "No, no, I'm regressing, it's a pity!"
Li Ming couldn't help but pat his shoulder, leaned into his ear and asked, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Huang San turned around, looked at Li Ming with a wry smile, and sighed: "I mean I can't do it anymore, my martial arts are getting further and further away from them! Alas! I think your elder brother was one of the top ten masters in the martial arts world back then! Alas! Now, I'm afraid I can't even beat Lin Long! I've been delayed for several years!"
Li Ming said in surprise: "So my brother was so powerful before! I really don't know!"
Lin Long interrupted, "Brother Huang was once called the Ghost Shadow Claw. His light skills are no less than the Piaoxu Technique of our Lin family, and his palm skills are also excellent. He ranked seventh among the top ten martial arts masters back then, so he is amazing!"
Li Ming couldn't help but feel moved: "Really? I remember you said before that the flower-picking thief Shi Yun had fought with you for thousands of rounds without a chance of winning or losing. Then could Shi Yun's martial arts be included in the top ten martial arts masters?"
Huang San sighed: "Shi Yun is indeed a martial arts genius who is rare in a century. He has fully demonstrated the martial arts of his master. His martial arts are much higher than his master. But because he is a flower-picking thief who wants to kill him quickly, the ranking will not include him in the ranking list of masters, but his martial arts can indeed be listed among the top ten masters! But no one expected that their master and disciple would actually be carried into your hands! You didn't know how to do martial arts at that time! Haha, things in the world are really unpredictable."
Li Ming smiled and said, "This is the truth that "it's not alive if you commit suicide." By the way, how are your health recently? My medicine will still work."
Huang San nodded and was about to answer when he heard a strong long roar in the distant battle group resounded through the sky, followed by a harsh loud noise. Everyone hurriedly looked at it, but saw that the figures of the two had fallen to the sides. Lin Lingfeng was still so calm and stood leisurely, with the long sword in his hand trembling buzzing. Master Leran's hair was scattered, panting quickly, and his face was pale, and there was only half of the long sword in his hand. Obviously, the outcome was clear.
Everyone hurried forward, Zhang Yao and Xiao Cui held Master Leran and asked anxiously: "Master, how are you? Are you injured?"
Master Leran took a few breaths, shook his head with a smile, bowed to Lin Lingfeng and said, "Donald Lin's martial arts have made progress again, and I admire him."
Lin Lingfeng walked over with a smile and said, "Why should the master be modest? The master's martial arts are progressing faster! Eight years ago, when I fought with Master, the master could only take three or four hundred moves under my hands, but today the master can actually fight with me for thousands of moves, and I can't stand at all! If I hadn't used Taiqing Changyin in the end, maybe when we would fight! Since I practiced Taiqing Changyin, Master, the master, was the first person to force me to use this move!"
Master Leran said in surprise: "It turns out that donor Lin has already practiced Taiqing Changyin? No wonder Pontin lost this game! After a duel with the donor five years ago, he became angry and handed over all the affairs of the master to his junior sister. He stayed in seclusion for five years and practiced the Muscovite and Gastrodia elata sword technique. Later, he occasionally had an adventure and obtained a thousand-year wild ginseng, which increased Pontin's skills by nearly ten years. Originally, when Pontinin fought with the donor today, he thought he could beat the donor, but he didn't expect that the donor actually practiced Taiqing Changyin! Alas! It made the donor laugh."
Lin Lingfeng smiled and said, "The master does not need to be too modest. In the past ten years, only the master has been able to take more than a thousand moves under my hands. I am afraid that the master and I will be able to compete with each other at the martial arts conference two years later. Is it okay for the master?"
Master Leran shook his head and smiled, "Minni is not that careless, he is just a little injured. It will be fine after two or three days of cultivation. Donor quickly give advice to Li Ming. We both delayed so long for our own pleasure."
Lin Lingfeng said: "It's good, let this kid see what real martial arts is! Avoid him holding his hidden weapon all day long and thinking that he is invincible in the world! Li Ming, I know you have no martial arts foundation before, but your talent is very high. Yesterday, I heard from Long'er that you have practiced the Lin family's Xixiang Technique in half a month? With your talent, if you don't practice martial arts, it would be the biggest waste! From today on, I'll teach you the Lin family's martial arts. Don't practice your Yijin Jing first. It's impossible for a person to be distracted by using it. After you practice the Lin family's Xixiang Technique, then continue practicing the Yijin Jing! By the way, Master, your disciple's martial arts are too poor. If you don't have time to guide her, give it to me for training. How about it?"
Master Leran said very happy: "That's great! If so, that's really a blessing for Yao'er. Yao'er, why don't you pay homage to Senior Lin? I now allow you to join the Lin family, become a master of the Great Hero of Lin, and practice the Lin family martial arts with Li Ming. Why don't you pay homage to Master? And Li Ming, you can get to be a disciple here."
Li Ming and Zhang Yao hurriedly bowed and practiced the principle of becoming a disciple in front of Lin Lingfeng. Mrs. Lin said happily: "Congratulations to my husband, I took two apprentices in one go. Now you have something to do."
Lin Lingfeng sighed: "Hey! We used to be too spoiled with Yu'er, so now I am very disappointed with him. I attacked him for a little bit of personal affair and threw my teachings out of the blue! I accepted them as my disciples for the sake of Long'er, and on the other hand, Li Ming! I think you are indeed a great person. If you have good martial arts, it will be of great help to you. You must practice hard and don't let me down!"
Li Ming hurriedly replied: "Li Ming remembers the master's teachings, and I will definitely practice hard."
Lin Lingfeng showed a smile on his face and said, "Okay, get up. Today you send Fatty Huang and Master Leran away, explain the affairs of Biquan Island clearly, and let Long'er do the matter of opening a tea shop. Those students, please let the Saint Wang and Situ Yan teach them first, and you will start the class again in half a month. During this half month, I will look at your situation. If it doesn't work, I will pass on some skills and try to let you lay a solid foundation for Taiqing Gong as soon as possible. OK, Longer, go and give me instructions to prepare a banquet. I want to have a few drinks with Fatty Huang and see them off."
Huang Sanda laughed and said, "Okay! I'll have a few drinks today. This is Lin Lingfeng I know! Let's go!"
Li Ming smiled and said, "Brother, you can't drink too much. Yao'er, bring the ginkgo leaves I brought back from the Kang Prince's Mansion to Brother Huang. Decoct one or two taels a day. It will be helpful to Brother's illness! Master, Master Leran, and Brother, I won't accompany you. I'm going down the mountain to explain some things to the Saint King and the others. Longer, come with me, I'll explain the matter about the tea factory to you." After that, he saluted everyone and pulled Lin Long to say goodbye.
The two walked down the mountain, and the Saint-Hand King hurriedly came up and said, "Dean, when do you see the college courses start? How should those warriors be arranged? You have been very busy these two days, and you have never seen those people from the Minshan School!"
Li Ming asked strangely: "Minshan Sect? Haven't they left yet?"
The saint Wang smiled and said, "Hu Yue, the head of Minshan Sect, had something to do, so he said goodbye yesterday. Because you were very busy, he did not let you disturb you. He just asked me to take him to express his gratitude to you. He also left fifty Minshan Sect disciples to the dean to protect the safety of the island."
Li Mingqi said: "He left fifty disciples? What are he doing! I don't know him if I give me such a big gift!"
Lin Long smiled and said, "Did you forget about the eldest brother? Hu Yue's daughter was raped and killed by that Shi Yun, but the eldest brother captured Shi Yun. Brother Huang sent someone to hand over Shi Yun to Hu Yue and said that Hu Yue was caught by the eldest brother. Hu Yue must be grateful to the eldest brother. What is the point of giving you fifty disciples?"
Li Ming suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case. In this way, there are 150 warriors on our Biquan Island. This is good, so that some thieves and rats will come to make trouble. Brother, please assign it. In addition, you and Brother Situ will work hard in the past half month to teach those students first and teach them your experiences first. I will practice martial arts well within half a month, otherwise I will have to rescue others every time I encounter danger, which is too unreasonable."
The Holy Hand Wang smiled and said, "Of course it's okay. Lin Lingfeng personally taught you what people in the martial arts world dreamed of at that time. Don't worry about the affairs of the island. We are here to take care of you, and you can concentrate on your martial arts."
Li Ming said: "Then I'll bother you. I'll go to Wang Sheng with Long'er and explain the matter about the tea factory. You can go there."
Since Wang Sheng has been learning tea art with Li Ming these days, after Li Ming's instructions, Lin Long asked Lin Long to select a group of smart people from the servants and servants. Together with the old buddies Wang Sheng found who worked in the tea factory with him, Li Ming's first business. Li Ming named Biquan Tea Farm and appointed Wang Sheng as the factory director of the tea farm. Wang Sheng was very happy to get this position. On the same day, he led a group of people to find a place in the original barracks, set a stove, and started to work hard. Fortunately, Biquan Island is huge and Biquan Mountain is densely packed with tea forests. Although it is already midsummer, Biquan Island is located in the lake. The climate is humid and warm, which is very suitable for the growth of tea trees, so it can still produce the best Longjing.
The Saint Hand King divided 150 warriors into ten groups, each fifteen people stationed in important occasions such as docks, tea farms, bamboo forests, etc., and patrolled non-stop every day. Although he could not protect the safety of the entire Biquan Island, important places should still be prevented. Especially the building complex where Songtao Pavilion was located was formerly the main accommodation and study of King Kang, and a large number of books were piled up in it. Although King Kang withdrew all his people, the books were still left. Although the Saint Hand King was knowledgeable and talented, he had not seen most of the books in the library before, so he knew the importance of this place and specially arranged a team of guards to stay here.
When Li Ming arranged the tea farm and rushed back to the bamboo forest, the place had returned to its former quietness. Students gathered in groups of three or three in the corridor, whispering in the bamboo forest. Li Ming smiled with satisfaction and said to himself: "This is the atmosphere of the college! I really miss my previous college days."
Lin Long next to him asked strangely: "College time? What is that?"
Li Ming was stunned and smiled and said, "I call the place where I used to be a university. This scene in front of me reminds me of my previous life. By the way, if you go out these days, please pay attention to me if there are any good blacksmiths nearby, and I will find them for me."
Lin Long became even more strange and asked: "What do you want the blacksmith to do? Do you want to build weapons? Or do you do? Isn't the eldest brother himself a master of sword making? Why do you want those blacksmiths to do?"
Li Ming smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask for it now, I have my own use. Since I have decided to let go, I have to make all kinds of preparations. When the time is ripe, I will attract attention from all over the world! When I landed on the island half a month ago, I told the Saint King that I will make my own contribution to the people of the world. Since I have decided to do it, I will work hard to overcome my current personality. At present, I no longer expect a paradise life."
Lin Long said with satisfaction: "It's right for the eldest brother to do this. With his ability, it won't be surprising to do anything. Longer will definitely support you with all his strength. But I'm all wondering, how could the eldest brother know so many things?"
Li Ming laughed and said, "You have many strange things in the future. Some things are really hard to explain clearly. I will tell you slowly, it's getting late, so let's go back quickly. In the future, the matter on the island will be troubled by you. You must hurry up and find a blacksmith! You can't delay it."
Lin Long looked at Li Ming in confusion and hesitated: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find all the famous blacksmiths nearby to the island. I feel that you are really different today than before. You have never spoken in this tone before."
Li Ming smiled and said, "I want to say goodbye to the past completely. Since I am the owner of this island, I will adapt to this role."
Lin Long said with satisfaction: "That's great. I'm afraid that you used to be like that, and you would speak to anyone in a discussion tone. Only when you do this now can you prove that I, Lin Long, did not choose the wrong person."
The sun gradually set down the mountain, and a mysterious moon hung high in the air. When Li Ming and the others climbed to the top of the mountain, Zhang Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, flew over like a bird and threw herself into Li Ming's arms. Lin Long smiled and said, "Sister Yao, Brother Li has only been away for a long time, so what do you want to be like?"
Zhang Yao let go of Li Ming embarrassedly and said shyly: "Sister Long laughed at me again. I just saw you going for most of the day. I won't come back so late. I'm worried!"
Li Ming smiled and said, "What are you worried about? I'm worried about being in danger? I'm following such a master, what are I afraid of? Have you eaten? Go back quickly. I'm so hungry after running for a long time. I'm going to rest early today and start practicing martial arts tomorrow. Are your master and Brother Huang left?"
Zhang Yao said, "They left after lunch and dinner. Brother Huang asked me to tell you that if you want anything missing in the future, he also said that his health is good now and teaches you not to worry about it."
Li Ming sighed: "Brother Huang is really a person with temperament. It is also a blessing to know him. Since he said that, there are still many places to use him in the future! Don't complain again when the time comes. Where is the master?"
Zhang Yao replied: "The master and his wife have finished their meal. They just went out to have fun in other places. We told us not to wait for them and have dinner and have breakfast to rest."
After dinner, it was already very late. Li Ming, who was used to going to bed late, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and his heart was turbulent. Unexpectedly, he had just half a year since he came to this world, and he had to decide to shoulder the heavy responsibility of this era. He used to be mediocre and lazy and had no ambitions. But when he arrived here, although his actions were all for survival in this world at the beginning, he could become the focus everywhere, so that he now had to shoulder the heavy responsibility. This huge change has been preventing himself from fully adapting for the past half month. As for how much he can do in the end, he is not at all in his heart. What he can think of at present is to make full use of his identity as a doctor and try his best to cultivate.
Raise a group of medical talents, impart the modern medical theories you have mastered, and use this opportunity to increase your great image in the minds of the people. The science and technology of this era are really backward. If you can use the modern scientific knowledge you have mastered to this era, it will be a leap in history, and you can jump this era from the traditional handmade era to the era of the Industrial Revolution. Your own knowledge is infinite wealth! As for the issue of changing this social system, you believe that you are far from this strength at the moment. Only when your wealth and identity reach a certain level can you be qualified to consider this issue. What you need to consider at present is how to transform your knowledge into an industry.
As he thought about it, Li Ming felt his eyelids become heavier and he fell asleep unconsciously.
