Chapter 4 What's Happening

"Do you still want to practice martial arts?"

After listening to Xu Tianya’s remarks, Nie Changqing was stunned. Nie Changqing naturally knew what Xu Tianya wanted to practice martial arts, but just by looking at his age, he knew that it was very likely that it was a waste of money.

I thought that after several persuasions, Xu Tianya might have given up on this idea, not to mention that ten taels of silver were definitely a large amount for Xu Tianya. Unexpectedly, he collected all the silver coins without saying a word and came over to prepare for martial arts.

"Yes, I thought about it for a long time, and I'm really unwilling to accept it if I don't try it."

Xu Tianya's eyes were firm and his tone was strong.

"Okay!"

Seeing Xu Tianya's firm appearance, Nie Changqing couldn't help but feel silent. He looked at Xu Tianya with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "The manager here is my senior brother. Please follow me to pay homage to him later. You can take more care of martial arts in the future."

"It's a pity that I took the order to go down the mountain this time, otherwise I could stay here for a while, so it would be much easier for you to learn martial arts..."

"By the way, brother Tianya, are you reading?"

When he was about to arrive at the office room, Nie Changqing suddenly asked.

"Let's get to know a little."

Xu Tianya thought for a while and replied.

Simplified Chinese characters are in line with the ancient Chinese of this era, and they can barely identify them. This is why I can help Old Man Zhang in the warehouse.

"It's not okay to barely understand it. Practicing martial arts is not only about playing tricks, but also requires proficiency in martial arts, meridians and acupoints. The secrets are also obscure and difficult. Many words are even quoted from ancient scriptures and have various meanings. This is why many people, even though they are in hand, have difficulty in understanding the mystery of martial arts and are still difficult to get started."

"What's more, reading books and understanding nature. Like our Quanzhen disciples, we need to recite Taoist scriptures every day to understand the truth of our ancestors, so that we can better control our own strength and not fall into the devil's path and develop evil nature..."

After talking for a long time, Nie Changqing suddenly smiled and said:

"Brother Tianya, if you really want to achieve something in the martial arts path, you have to put it on the agenda by knowing the text and stating the words. Don't be like me. After getting started, you don't care about reading the text and stating the words. You only focus on practicing basic martial arts. After you have developed internal energy, you have been able to understand the Golden Pass and Jade Lock Art for nearly a year before you can barely understand..."

"Are you Quanzhen disciples who have refined their internal energy, can you become a disciple? Why don't your master explain it to you?"

Xu Tianya asked in confusion.

"The master leads the door and practices in person. There are so many disciples of Quanzhen. The master does not have the energy to teach one by one. At most, I just occasionally check the practice..."

Nie Changqing smiled, shook his head helplessly, and looked at Xu Tianya and said, "Even if it was in the Quanzhen Sect, after being angry, except for the senior brother Chuangong who was promoted to a formal disciple, most of the disciples had to practice hard on their own, even among those who were accepted as disciples by the seven real people..."

"But the seven real people occasionally preach in Chongyang Hall. The Chuangong Hall will teach martial arts at the beginning and mid-month of each month. The treatment is much better than that of ordinary people in the martial arts world..."

No matter how much and nothing is involved, except for some things that cannot be disclosed in the Quanzhen Rules, Nie Changqing told Xu Tianya in detail and reminded Xu Tianya.

Xu Tianya didn't dare to relax. He listened quietly to Nie Changqing's instructions and couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If it weren't for Nie Changqing's instructions, he would probably have fallen into the pit.

Even if you get the opportunities written in the novel in the future, it will probably be covered with treasures and it is difficult to get started.

Looking at Nie Changqing's sincere instructions in front of him, Xu Tianya was moved, but he could only hide this gratitude in his heart. He didn't know whether he had the ability to repay this kindness...

The two met with the manager of this stronghold. A three-generation disciple of Quanzhen named Luo was only thirty years old. However, looking at his appearance, he did not look like a martial arts practitioner. He was extremely thin and looked like a person who had been sick for a long time. Xu Tianya seriously suspected that a gust of wind could blow him down...

"Brother Tianya thinks that Senior Brother Luo doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner?"

As if he saw Xu Tianya’s thoughts, Nie Changqing said with a smile, and after saying that, he didn’t wait for Xu Tianya to answer, and said to himself:

"Senior Brother Luo was not like this before. His martial arts cultivation is ranked among the three disciples of Quanzhen. However, when he was performing a mission in the sect, he was ambushed by a thief, injured his meridians, and left patients in his body. The path to martial arts was cut off..."

"But don't worry, Senior Brother Luo has a lot of basic skills, but he is perfect. Some time ago, there were elders who wanted Senior Brother Luo to go up the mountain to teach new disciples, but Senior Brother Luo thought there were too many rules on the mountain and was unwilling to go up the mountain."

While the two of them were talking, they also walked out of the small courtyard. The servants in the courtyard hurriedly came with a horse. Seeing that the two were still talking, they stood by and waited respectfully.

"I am ordered to go down the mountain this time, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for me to return in a year or two. Brothers in Tianya, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will have a date in the future!"

Nie Changqing was riding on the horse, his cheerful voice echoed in Xu Tianya's ears, and the sound of horse hooves ran away.

"Um?"

When Xu Tianya came to his senses and was about to leave, his steps suddenly stopped, raised his hand and fumbled in his pocket. A purse appeared in his hand. When he opened it, he saw dozens of silver lying quietly in the purse.

He suddenly looked up and the figure of the horse galloping disappeared at the end of the alley.

"How can you say that you can love me like this!"

After being stunned for a long time, Xu Tianya sighed and couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, Xu Tianya calmed down and walked silently towards the entrance of the alley. When he arrived at the main street of the town, he did not go to the warehouse. Instead, he ran to the school in the town and offered three times the amount of money to the old man, and stated that he was willing to bear the consumption of oil lamps and candles every night, so he barely agreed to take half an hour every night to teach himself.

Then Xu Tianya bought a set of Four Treasures of Study and several Enlightenment Books before returning to the warehouse.

Old man Zhang was already drunk, but it was getting late and there was nothing to deal with in the warehouse. After cleaning up the warehouse, Xu Tianya returned to his small room.

It was dark at this time. If it were an ordinary family, they would probably go to bed early. After all, they consumed candles and oil lamps every night, which was a considerable amount. Fortunately, there were a lot of supplies in the warehouse, and the account books were damaged and made every month, so there was naturally no shortage of oil lamps and candles.
