Ji Yuan's praise for Lao Niu was also what Yan Fei was thinking. To be honest, he didn't have many people who could be called friends in his life. He was too arrogant and conceited in the first half of his life, and although the second half of his life was not yet over, with his current personality, it might be difficult for him to make true friends. Meeting Lao Niu was the greatest blessing in his life.
"What you said is exactly what I was thinking. Brother Niu and I are both teachers and friends. Looking back on the past, I was arrogant and conceited and could not be accepted by the upper class. I never thought that Brother Niu would recognize me as a friend."
"Haha, Master Yan, why do you have to belittle yourself? I think you should know that old cow. He looks honest, but he is actually very smart. If you, Yan Fei, don't have any outstanding qualities, how could he recognize you as a friend? Come on, let's use our fingers as swords and martial arts skills to help each other on the table, and let Ji see your success."
Yan Fei's eyes lit up. Even though the person in front of him was Ji Yuan, from a martial arts perspective, he would not show his fearlessness. He also knew that Mr. Ji would definitely find the right balance, so he answered courageously.
"Okay, please teach me, sir!"
Yan Fei bowed slightly and took the lead in attacking, pointing his sword towards Ji Yuan in an almost sneak attack. Ji Yuan flicked his long sleeves and his sword flashed out like lightning under his dazzling green robe. The two of them fought with swords in such a small space on the table, changing their moves at an extremely fast speed.
A couple who were busy in the kitchen a little further away saw this scene from afar and stared at it in amazement.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ji, who looks so gentle and polite, is actually a master. There are really many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the martial arts world!"
Hearing her husband say this, the woman hit him lightly.
"This is a man that both Hero Niu and Hero Yan respect. It's not surprising that he knows some martial arts. Don't just stand there. Hero Yan is back. We must prepare dinner well. Help me clean up that goose."
"Well, wait a minute, this kind of duel is really rare. As a warrior, I can only see it a few times in my life!"
After all, the woman still cared about her husband. Although she wanted to urge him to work, she would not urge him much when she saw his wonderful expression with frowning brows and jaws wide open, as well as the way he gestured with his hands from time to time.
"Okay, okay, just don't forget about the geese. I'll go take care of the snails."
…
On the other hand, Lu Shanjun sped up a lot after leaving the manor. Normally, it would take an ordinary person at least a quarter of an hour to reach Luoqing City, but he walked so fast that he entered Luoqing City in almost no time.
This city is indeed one of the few prosperous cities in Zuyue Kingdom. It seems that the chaos in other places in Zuyue Kingdom, the poorer and colder the place is, the more people have come to this prosperous place to be drained of blood. The city is bustling with people coming and going. Crowds of people can be seen everywhere at the street intersections. Some peddlers are carrying goods on their shoulders and selling them back and forth. Some shops or stalls are also filled with cultural relics and luxury items.
Lu Shanjun glanced around the city and without stopping, he took the most prosperous street and headed straight for the brothels and prostitutes in the city.
It was daytime in the afternoon. Other places in Luoqing City were very lively. However, where there were many brothels, it seemed a little deserted. However, the number of people visiting was still quite large. When Lu Shanjun arrived here, the girls standing inside and outside the buildings along the street all had shining eyes.
Lu Shanjun was dressed in light yellow clothes, with a small crown and a hairpin and long hair fluttering in the wind. Not only was his face handsome, but his figure, posture and demeanor when walking were also excellent. And you could tell at a glance that he was not short of money. When a man like this came to the brothel, the girls who saw him would all be attracted by him, so people kept talking to him and even came forward to greet him.
"Sir, please come in and have a seat!"
"Sir, come and rest in our Anxiang Tower. We will make sure you are well served~~"
"Hey, sir, don't go!"
Some girls wanted to come out and pull Lu Shanjun, but he smiled politely and quickly dodged them, not wanting to be touched by them. He couldn't get used to the different scents of makeup on these people.
After walking for a while, Lu Shanjun finally found the Chunxing Tower that Lao Niu mentioned. Amid the surprised looks of several girls inside and outside the tower, Lu Shanjun walked in in a few steps, and was immediately surrounded by beautiful women like flowers.
"Sir, can I accompany you?" "Sir, can I accompany you?"
"Why don't we accompany you together, hehe..."
The old procuress over there also came over, fanning herself, twisting her waist and smiling.
"Oh, this gentleman is so handsome, you have a good eye. Our Chunxing Building has the most beautiful girls in Luoqing City. Many of Luoqing's famous prostitutes are in the building, and many of them are free~~"
While the madam was speaking, Lu Shanjun had already taken out a handful of gold beans and handed them to the madam, who immediately took them with both hands, with a smile on her face like an old chrysanthemum.
"Then I will help you arrange it?"
"No, I'm here to find someone named Niu."
After Lu Shanjun said this, he shook off the girl who was pestering him and walked straight forward. The madam was slightly stunned and quickly chased after him.
"Sir, are you here to see Master Niu? But Master Niu is not very convenient right now. How about I go and talk to Master Niu and then take you there? Hey, Sir, please walk slower!"
"You don't have to take him, I know where he is!"
Lu Shanjun said this without even turning his head, and his steps became faster and faster, making it difficult for the madam to keep up.
In a spacious hall at the back of the brothel, Niu Batian, with women on both sides, listened with an intoxicated look on his face as a young woman played the piano opposite him. He stared at the woman's figure and face with lustful eyes. His eyes were so penetrating that the woman blushed and gasped slightly when she played the piano. The women he hugged would peel grapes and feed them to him from time to time, and occasionally hand a wine glass to his mouth, and let him touch her all over, and would laugh from time to time.
"boom… "
The main door was pushed open directly from the outside.
"Ah..." "Hey, what's wrong?"
Several women were startled, and while they screamed, Lao Niu spoke in a gentle and comforting voice.
"It's okay, it's okay. He's my friend. Hey, Lao Lu, have you finally come to your senses? Come on, come on, I'll give you one. Sit here. Except for the girl playing the piano opposite, I'll call the girls in the building for you."
Lao Niu let go of one of the girls and enthusiastically patted a spot next to the table.
"I don't have time to fool around with you. Yan Fei is back, and the master asked me to go find you."
"What? Now? No way, you're leaving right away? I haven't even spent any money yet!"
Lu Shanjun grinned and deliberately didn't explain clearly.
"Why waste your time? Are you going or not? If not, I will leave. Let the master invite you himself. You can also give a girl to the master."
Lao Niu stood up and looked at the woman playing the piano opposite him with a distressed look in his eyes.
"Can't you make it one day? One night is fine, or one afternoon? Can't I just go back in the evening..."
Lu Shanjun glanced at him and then at the woman opposite who had stopped playing the piano.
"You've been here for quite some time, why don't you get down to business?"
"Hey, how can we indulge in lust in broad daylight?"
When Lao Niu said this, Lu Shanjun's mouth twitched.
"Sir, I want to hear your opinions on martial arts. I'm not leaving right away. You can come back and continue."
Lao Niu was visibly relieved.
"You should have said so earlier, little Liu. I have something to do today. Wait for your brother Niu. I will come back and punish you!"
After saying this, Lao Niu stood up reluctantly and went out with Lu Shanjun, not forgetting to boast to him that the brothel girl was really in love with him.
When Lao Niu and Lu Shanjun returned to the small manor outside the city, Ji Yuan and Yan Fei had already finished their competition. Lao Niu took the lead, shouting as he walked.
"Mr. Ji, Brother Yan, I'm back."
Lu Shanjun, who was one step behind, had an ugly look on his face. When Ji Yuan saw this situation, before he asked, Lao Niu had already said it himself.
"Hehe, this guy, Old Lu, doesn't understand romance. When the girl from Chunxinglou kissed him secretly, he tried to hide. I, Old Niu, helped him and prevented him from hiding."
Lu Shanjun snorted coldly, or at least shook his head, but he did not get furious about it. What he cared about was not the small matter of being kissed by a mortal woman, but the fact that Lao Niu had managed to restrain his hands and feet when he was not prepared, preventing him from breaking free for the time being.
"Stop talking nonsense and sit down. Our focus today is on the path of martial arts. I heard that you taught some of the key ideas of the demon body and the Dharma body. Are you willing to tell me the details? I don't want you to talk about the demon body and the Dharma body, but the tempering of the warrior's body."
Ji Yuan's current interest was completely focused on martial arts, and he didn't chat with the others. This made Lao Niu, who was preparing to listen to Ji Yuan's comments on Lu Shanjun being kissed, a little disappointed.
"We are all family, and this isn't life-threatening. There's nothing to hide..."
Lao Niu said with a smile as he walked, but when he really got closer he was stunned. He finally discovered the dates on the table in the yard. There were so many dates that they formed a small hill, and there was a small pile of date pits in front of Yan Fei alone.
"I've eaten at least 40 or 50 of them, even the cores."
Lu Shanjun's faint voice came to his ears, and then he went back to the yard before Lao Niu, sat in his original position, and naturally picked up a date and took a bite.
Lao Niu had a wonderful expression on his face, and then he reacted immediately, jumped into the yard in a few steps, sat down on the stone table, and picked up two dates and took a bite each. Anyway, judging from the situation, Mr. Ji definitely had a lot of chances of survival.
Ji Yuan was not impatient. After Lao Niu had eaten four of them in a row, he finally began to tell them in detail the martial arts path he had come up with for Yan Fei, and even told them some secrets of his own demon body.
As the topic started, they became more and more interested in the discussion. After they told the couple about the manor, they stopped eating three meals a day and did not drink tea. They just ate dates and discussed the topic for several days.
To put it simply, the magic of the demon body lies in the fact that Lao Niu can strengthen his own strengths, including a strong body, vigorous life, a demon heart and spirit that looks down on the world, a powerful spiritual power and demon magic power. Many elements are integrated into one, and he tempers himself all the time. He can also manifest this tempering power at critical moments, greatly enhancing himself.
Lao Niu saw something similar in warriors, or in people like Yan Fei who had extraordinary talent and were almost reaching the pinnacle of warriors.
Yan Fei has his own warrior spirit, which is not something illusory, but involves the power of the mind; Yan Fei is in the innate realm, his qi and blood are extremely vigorous, and so is his temper; Yan Fei's Yuanyang is also extremely strong and he will not squander it; Yan Fei also has a strong evil spirit, which is not violent or evil, but the martial evil evolved from the rock-solid martial arts, and the blood evil of the military formations of a powerful army that has fought in hundreds of battles is somewhat similar to this; and the true qi, especially the innate true qi, is an even more critical point. It is to a certain extent connected to the heaven and the earth, and is closely related to many of the above factors. It is an excellent fusion point.
"Brother Yan and I have been thinking about it for several years, trying step by step, and finally have some results, but it is still far from enough. We cannot integrate the power of many warriors into it. In my opinion, Brother Yan has only exerted less than 30% of his potential. What a pity..."
Lao Niu talked a lot while discussing with Ji Yuan and others, but in the end he just kept saying it was a pity.
The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes. Before, there were always some key points that Lao Niu and Yan Fei could not figure out. Now with the addition of Ji Yuan and Lu Shanjun, especially Ji Yuan who had several experiences of discussing Taoism and was also very knowledgeable about martial arts, many things were pointed out by Ji Yuan. After they understood them, they suddenly felt it was a pity.
Ji Yuan was also sighing beside him.
"Yes, it's a pity, it's a pity that Master Yan is a little late after all. It would be great if he could follow this path from the beginning of martial arts training..."
Lu Shanjun looked at Yan Fei with regret.
"Pity… "
Yan Fei looked a little depressed, but after a moment he smiled freely.
“It may be a pity for me, Yan Fei, but I have fought for a hope. In the future, even if I cannot achieve the achievements that Master and Brother Niu expected, I will definitely be able to train one or more successors who are even better. If the successor is not good enough, there will naturally be people who will pass on the skills. Master and Brother Niu are both people with extraordinary lifespans, and they will be able to see that day!”
"Brother Yan..."
“Hahahahaha… That’s just the attitude of a little girl. I, Yan Fei, have been conceited for half my life. There is no reason for me to be discouraged. I may not be unable to achieve this on my own!”
Ji Yuan couldn't help but look at Yan Fei with a higher regard. This was a manifestation of a warrior's spirit.
"Master Yan, you are so courageous. If so, please give this martial arts path a name!"
"Uh, let's ask Mr. Ji to decide, right?"
Ji Yuan shook his head.
"you decide!"
Yan Fei looked at Lao Niu.
"Brother Niu..."
"you decide!"
Even Lu Shanjun nodded in agreement and let Yan Fei decide.
Although the courtyard seemed bright at this moment, it was actually dark all around. However, it was almost dawn and light was already appearing on the eastern horizon.
After these few days of discussion, Yan Fei's understanding of the path of martial arts has become clearer and clearer. He is no stranger to some vocabulary related to cultivation. When it comes to the accurate positioning of martial arts, no one can surpass him. Looking at the golden light on the horizon, Yan Fei relaxed his brows and spoke in a sonorous voice.
"In this case, let's call it 'Wusha Yuangang'!"
