Chapter 278: The Heritage of the Aristocratic Family(1/2)
Chapter 278 The heritage of an aristocratic family, the classics handed down from generation to generation
In front of the tea cup with lingering fragrance, neither Xue Cheng nor Zhang Mingtu had any intention of tasting tea. Xue Cheng looked at Zhang Mingtu with a passionate face, full of expectation.
"I wonder why senior brother came here?"
Xue Cheng was of course full of expectations. After all, the Iron Masked Man would bring him great benefits every time he came. Although there were certain risks, the overall risks were preventable and controllable. He was very happy to see this great savior.
, great lucky star.
And he deliberately buried a hole in his words, took the initiative to build a closer relationship, and called this person his senior brother.
Not only did he respect Zhang Mingtu's identity, but he also took the initiative to get closer to the man in the iron mask. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
Zhang Mingtu glanced at Xue Cheng and saw through all his little thoughts, but he didn't point them out.
"Master said that if you do things for many days in a row, it can be considered a great reward for your hard work. I want me to ask you what you want."
"Of course it's Qianhu..."
This sentence went around in his heart, and Xue Cheng swallowed it back again.
The other party acquiesced in calling him senior brother, which already made him happy. As for higher demands, he actually didn't want much.
At his status, he doesn't lack anything. The only thing he lacks may be his practice, but in terms of martial arts talent, outsiders can't help.
After thinking for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Just say what you want, don't hesitate, Master has much more than you think."
Zhang Mingtu smiled slightly, making Xue Cheng uneasy in front of him.
It was obvious that the man in front of him was just a member of the Imperial Guard, and he was the one who promoted him.
It was obvious that he came from a small family in Jianyi, with a clean identity and a clear background.
But when the other party smiled slightly, Xue Chengcheng felt uneasy, as if he was facing Qianhu Jinyiwei.
Xuecheng felt something slightly wrong. The other party was too calm and calm.
This posture is like that of a Qianhu, just like those people who are born in high positions. They naturally have a kind of tolerance, aura of residence, and a body of nourishment.
It was completely different from the General Qi of Jinyiwei who fished in Jinyiwei every day in the past. At this moment, he seemed to show a different kind of magnanimity and attitude.
He was just sitting there in an ordinary posture, but his whole body seemed to be glowing and his figure seemed to be rising taller.
Xue Cheng was very uncomfortable, but at the moment when his heart was spinning, he felt that such a gesture was only natural. After all, he was the disciple who was suspected to be the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
It is reasonable and reasonable to have an extraordinary and refined demeanor, and it is also suitable to be born with nobility. In the past, it seemed mediocre and harmonious, but that was just a good thing that others were hiding.
"I have encountered quite a few problems in my practice, but no one has answered them..."
Xue Cheng is a dead horse and a living doctor. In fact, there are many people in his family who can enlighten him on his practice method, and he has read a lot of relevant annotations by previous sages.
The practice is stuck here, just stuck here, really motionless.
He originally thought that if he made this request, the other party would reject it or just give him a few casual comments.
Unexpectedly, the other party smiled slightly and said: "It's a small matter!"
The next moment, a hand was placed on his wrist. Xue Cheng could only feel the hand on his wrist. He struggled instinctively, and the real energy in his body was beating.
Just when he realized that the man in front of him was a disciple of the Iron Mask Man and was about to stop, the beating true energy in his body suddenly fell into the sea like a mud cow, without causing any disturbance, and his heart was shaking wildly.
He had read Zhang Mingtu's information many times. Before joining Jinyiwei, Zhang Mingtu was just doing muscle-removing and marrow-cleansing. Even the marrow-cleansing and blood exchange had not been completely completed, and his true energy had not been cultivated.
But looking at it now, this move alone was already frighteningly effective in neutralizing his true energy, not to mention that Xue Cheng felt the majestic ocean-like true energy in the opponent's body at that moment.
The true energy was not only strong and majestic, but also extremely positive. It had a powerful and terrifying aura. The moment it came into contact with his aura, his true energy was shattered and he could no longer feel it.
"this……"
Xue Cheng stared at the other person with wide eyes, mainly looking at the other person's chin and neck, trying to see any trace of disguise.
This is too outrageous and scary. How old is the other party? He remembers that he was only seventeen when he first joined Jinyiwei, and he is still less than eighteen now.
If the information has not been changed, at this age, I don’t know how much stronger he is than him.
Is this really a normal person? Isn't he the reincarnation of some immortal god?
He even felt that the other party should have come here in disguise. After all, if the information had not been changed and there was no disguise, then the talent of the character in front of him would be too scary.
Xue Cheng's thoughts were still racing around when he heard Zhang Mingtu's warm voice in front of him.
"It is not difficult to make a breakthrough in cultivation. It should be that the previous breakthrough was too hasty and the true energy realm was not perfected.
"After a hasty breakthrough, although I have reached the realm of true essence, my realm of true energy has still not been replenished.
"These past few days, I have practiced diligently every day but have not gained much, yes or no."
Xue Cheng nodded seriously. The young man in front of him explained his illness very clearly. However, the previous information was not a secret. Many people in the family and even the Jin Yiwei knew it.
However, the other party was able to explain his situation clearly by checking his pulse, which made him slightly convinced.
"Efforts are not fruitless. These days' efforts are all making up for the lack of true energy before, which is not a bad thing.
"The methods passed down by the You family can be considered first-rate in the world. They are not biased towards the magic or evil ways that advance by leaps and bounds. They pay more attention to steady and steady progress. If you practice normally, you should be able to feel the progress in your practice after a month..."
Xue Cheng was shocked and a little confused.
He had never heard of such a statement before, but he was inexplicably convinced. There seemed to be no record of this in his family.
However, in the inheritance of family experience, it does take a long time to achieve a breakthrough with the help of elixirs, so more emphasis is placed on one's own breakthrough, and generally no external force is used unless it is absolutely necessary.
Seeing that Xue Cheng believed most of it, but not all of it, Zhang Mingtu smiled and explained: "Different pills have different requirements and taboos for taking them.
"The best way to use the marrow-cleansing and blood-changing pills that you have taken before is to use them together with the blood-tonifying pills and the marrow-refining pills. This way, it can replenish the vitality that the body has lost after strengthening the body and does not require a long period of time to replenish it.
"It was lacking if it was not used and replenished afterwards. It will take a period of time to recover. From the perspective of elixirs, marrow cleansing and blood exchange are to strengthen oneself, but at the same time it also needs to replenish enough blood and essence."
"The replenishment was not completed at that time. It is also possible to replenish Jingyuan Pill and Blood Qi Pill every day afterwards..."
What Zhang Mingtu said was not empty talk, but some secret records of elixirs obtained from the martial arts scriptures.
When he and Yu Zhifu jointly revised the "Martial Arts", they had received relevant inheritance.
However, Zhang Mingtu's practice is different from the mainstream practice in society. Many methods are not used and can only be retained in the memory as a kind of foundation.
Zhang Mingtu didn't use it, but it was a very useful inheritance for Xue Cheng.
The Taizu who founded the Great Xia Dynasty was unparalleled in his style and courage. The "Martial Arts" compiled by him was open to all people in the world who belonged to the imperial court. Anyone who was aspiring to it could practice the top magical skills. It can be said that there is no restriction on talents.
.
It allows anyone with talent to practice, and also vigorously builds the "Martial Arts Academy". Children born in poverty can also receive education there and have the opportunity to enter it. If you have extraordinary talents, the court will make up for your training needs.
all resources.
The martial arts academy and liberal arts academy that continue to this day are all left behind by Taizu.
But not everyone agrees with this approach. At least many aristocratic families did not agree with this aspect. Taizu's prestige was extremely high and no one could stop it.
After the death of Taizu, those who have established a successor for dozens or hundreds of years dare not change it at will. However, the original rules will not be changed, but some new obstacles can be added.
After all, spiritual practice does not stand still. He vigorously disclosed the practice methods and achieved very fruitful results that year.
The experiences and experiences of many people practicing together, how to use relevant elixirs to make the practice faster, how to cooperate with different elixirs, and separate the kings, ministers and envoys, so that people can practice faster and more steadily, and there will be no problems along the way...
A large number of results were published later, but no one forced them to publish these results.
Human nature is ultimately selfish. There may always be selfless saints in the world, but they are only a minority after all.
Most people still like to build layers of barriers one after another. After using this road to go up, they will block the road to prevent latecomers from continuing to go up.
It has been more than 800 years since the founding of the Xia Dynasty. The rules established by Taizu are still there, but the martial arts academy has gradually declined. Most of the children in the martial arts academy are descendants of meritorious deeds. It is a problem for poor children to survive, let alone be
Parents sent them to study.
Even if they study, they often can't keep up with the progress of the course. It's not that they lack talent or talent, but that the courses in the martial arts academy deliberately set up many obstacles.
Descendants of meritorious families, or people with wealth and influence, can spend a lot of money to hire those figures to teach them in private.
However, poor children lack these real teachings and study according to the teaching materials in the martial arts academy, which will only make slow progress and face many obstacles.
Perhaps occasionally there are people with incredible talents who can rise through the ranks through these, but without the various kinds of training subsidies later in life, the overall situation is still very difficult.
Most people with extraordinary talents in the world may, like Hong Ji, fail before becoming a master, or join a certain family and then disappear, becoming a guest in a big family.
The Xue family, where Xue Cheng belongs, cannot be ranked at the top among Jiangnan West Road. It can only be regarded as a second-rate family among Jiangnan West Road. Therefore, there are many fewer records about these hidden things. There is no background and background of those big families.
accumulation.
But just because he doesn't have these accumulations doesn't mean he hasn't heard of it. Listening to this clear picture, the secrets in it are slowly revealed bit by bit.
Xue Cheng's expression changed drastically and became extremely serious.
After a moment of silence, Xue Cheng said to Zhang Mingtu seriously: "Brother, my memory is not very good. Can you write this down with pen and paper? I swear to God that I will never reveal this to anyone privately."
These are the top secret records that can be passed down to the family. They are the difference between the top families and ordinary people.
Xue Cheng knew the importance of this, so he did not dare to neglect it at all, and even voluntarily vowed not to pass it on to the family.
Zhang Mingtu just smiled and didn't really care. In his previous life, he was born in an era of explosive knowledge, and a lot of knowledge was not kept secret.
There are very few real secret recipes handed down from generation to generation. Even if there are patent barriers, they usually only last for ten years. Twenty years is not too long.
