Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Page 41

Su Yuchen flipped through the copy of the Yi Jin Jing that Bei Haishi had sent him and compared it with the one he had obtained from Xiao Ao World. There was not much difference between the two.

This set of internal energy cultivation manuals now only has the wonderful use of accumulating true qi, and according to the narrator, the method of harmonizing all qi has been removed.

Su Yuchen nodded and said, "So it seems that the one who broke into Shaolin Temple and stole the Yi Jin Jing was Mr. Bei? Who is the other person?"

“This…” Bei Haishi was stunned and didn’t know how to answer. Fine beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

Su Yuchen tossed the copy of the Yi Jin Jing onto the table, then picked up the Five Elements Six Harmonies Palm and began to read it, saying without looking up…

"The Yi Jin Jing is a secret of Shaolin Temple, and only the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the reclusive elders of the Bodhidharma Cave can read and practice it."

"Mr. Bei's copy of the Yi Jin Jing is incomplete, missing the last chapter. Obviously, it was already incomplete when Mr. Bei obtained it. Who has that last chapter now?"

"Mr. Bei has been guarding the Chang Le Gang all along. Is that Situ Heng? You two were the ones who broke into Shaolin Temple that night, weren't you? He hid the last chapter of the Yi Jin Jing, and you didn't find it?"

"Mr. Bei's injuries were caused by the Vajra Palm, weren't they? Your old injuries haven't healed, and you want to use the Yi Jin Jing to harmonize the myriad energies and expel that stagnant true energy from your body?"

After Su Yuchen finished speaking, Bei Haishi was already sweating profusely. He gripped the table beside him with his right hand and said tremblingly, "Chief...Chief, please understand, I was just making a mistake back then, which led to this terrible consequence. I beg...I beg you, Chief..."

Su Yuchen waved his hand and said...

"Let's leave it at that, Mr. Bei. I have no interest in your pursuit of the Yi Jin Jing."

"But why is there so much missing from the copy of the Yi Jin Jing you gave me? How do you think I knew?"

Bei Haishi was startled. Yes, how did this boy know? No one else had seen the copy he gave him. How could he know so much about the Yi Jin Jing, such a peerless martial art?

Bei Haishi felt that the fright he had suffered in the past few days was getting worse with each passing day. After the boy had been missing for half a year, he had become like a bottomless cold pool, always making him feel inexplicably terrified.

Chapter 80 Bei Haishi's Three Shocks in One Day

"Mr. Bei, are you afraid of me?"

Su Yuchen waved the manual in his hand that read "Five Elements Six Harmonies Palm"...

"You've tampered with the flow of this palm technique in the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, and Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian."

"It must have been really difficult for you, Mr. Bei, to manage to pull off so many things in such a short time."

"If I practice according to the secret manual you gave me, I can indeed master the Five Elements Six Harmonies Palm. However, every time I practice, my Qi points, Shangqu and Quchi will be forced by the cold energy. Over time, I'm afraid the cold poison will enter my body."

Before Bei Haishi could explain, Su Yuchen had already placed the manual on the table. After a moment of contemplation, he began to practice a series of palm techniques.

Bei Haishi was most familiar with this set of palm techniques, because it was in harmony with the five elements, stepped on the six directions, and moved freely. For a time, palm shadows flew everywhere, and many changes that Bei Haishi had never seen before were added.

For a moment, Bei Haishi watched intently, his face covered in cold sweat. He felt that the palm technique had completely changed in the hands of this young man. Although it was the same palm technique, it had an added sense of inescapability.

Within Su Yuchen's mind, countless palm technique phantoms flashed and eventually merged into one. After a moment, the boy fought faster and faster, and it seemed as if six identical boys appeared on the spot at the same time, each practicing a palm technique.

After a while, the boy's movements became slower and slower. His palm technique was silent and effortless, as if it were carrying a heavy burden. Each movement had a special feeling, as if his breathing had become much heavier.

You have mastered the Five Elements and Six Harmonies Palm technique.

[The palm techniques subtly harmonize with the Five Elements, strengthening the five internal organs, enhancing vital energy, and improving physical health; the footwork treads upon the Six Harmonies, refining the six viscera and improving digestion and detoxification functions.]

This palm technique is a Taoist longevity method, which can prolong life, enhance physical strength, and is a Taoist internal cultivation exercise.

When Su Yuchen stopped, the system's voice prompt came from his mind.

Su Yuchen glanced at Bei Haishi: "Mr. Bei, this palm technique should have originated from the Taoist school, but I wonder where you obtained it?"

Bei Haishi's heart skipped a beat when he saw him, and he felt his mouth go dry, but he dared not lie anymore, because this young man was just too extraordinary.

………………

After thinking for a moment, Bei Haishi told the whole story. It turned out that when he was a young man, he wandered around the ancient Zhongnan Mountains and accidentally entered a remote mountain temple. There was only an old Taoist priest in the temple.

He stayed overnight there and chatted with the old Taoist priest at night. He noticed that the old priest was looking at a book from time to time. Out of curiosity, he secretly looked at the book when the old priest went to the toilet. It was the book "Five Elements and Six Harmonies Palm".

However, his actions were discovered by the old Taoist priest. When he took his leave, the old Taoist priest kept hinting to him not to use this as an excuse to commit evil.

Bei Haishi didn't take it seriously at first. After returning home, he would practice it occasionally in his spare time. Because he didn't understand Taoist terminology, many of the principles he practiced were only vaguely understood.

Later, when he asked about the terms separately, it was discovered that he possessed a profound secret manual, which led to him being hunted down.

It wasn't until he single-handedly defeated and killed the three martial arts experts who were chasing him that he realized this palm technique was no ordinary thing.

After that, he switched from literature to martial arts, devoted himself to training, and gradually gained a reputation in the martial arts world.

………………

Upon hearing Bei Haishi's explanation, Su Yuchen nodded, finding it reasonable. With the ability of this palm technique to internally refine the five internal organs, it had already surpassed ordinary martial arts manuals.

If Bei Haishi has already mastered this palm technique to the point where the Qi enters the five internal organs, he can completely dissipate the Vajra Palm force by relying on the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

However, it was absolutely impossible to get him to remind Bei Haishi. This man was dark and cunning, full of schemes. It was best to just let him fend for himself.

Su Yuchen tapped the manual on the table, smiled and said to Bei Haishi, "These few manuals are nothing but a few volumes of secrets. Mr. Bei, you have such a deep and complicated plan. I appreciate your painstaking efforts."

Bei Haishi looked embarrassed. He bent over and could only offer a weak explanation...

"As for martial arts, these are all unique skills of our subordinates. It is hard to part with them if we want to give them away."

"I made some changes because I was afraid that others would learn it. I wanted to explain the key points to the leader in person, but the leader is so talented that he saw the problem at a glance."

"Our leader is highly skilled in martial arts and exceptionally intelligent. He will surely lead the Chang Le Gang to dominate the martial arts world. This is truly a blessing for us."

“Heh…” Su Yuchen chuckled meaningfully, “Mr. Bei is indeed eloquent.”

Bei Haishi gave an awkward smile. Su Yuchen had already walked to the desk to the side, picked up a pen and began to write, saying as he wrote...

"Mr. Bei, whatever you say goes!"

"I need a lot of medicinal herbs here. Mr. Bei, you can arrange for someone to purchase them one by one. In addition, please prepare a pill-making cauldron."

"From now on, I will be focusing on alchemy and cultivation. Please don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary. As for worldly affairs... you can handle them as you see fit."

After finishing writing, Su Yuchen blew on the paper to make sure no medicinal herbs were missing. With a flick of his finger, the light page, three or four zhang away, made a whistling sound and shot towards Bei Haishi like a sharp arrow.

Bei Haishi channeled his inner energy, seized the opportunity to reach out and grab it, but the paper was still half a foot away from him. It paused briefly in the air, then spun around and landed on the back of his hand.

The subtle interplay of strength and gentleness displayed on this seemingly light piece of paper, and the delicate control over true energy, were all things Bei Haishi had never seen before. Only that flick of the finger seemed to be Xie Yanke's 'finger-flicking supernatural power'.

Bei Haishi picked up the paper and examined it closely. He found that it listed a wide variety of medicinal herbs, no less than dozens of kinds, and only listed the names of the herbs, not the quantities.

"With so many medicinal herbs and no quantity listed, what kind of medicine is this being made?" Bei Haishi pondered to himself, but to no avail.

"How much do you need, Chief? Could you please make a list so I can instruct the brothers in the gang to purchase it?" Bei Haishi said, bowing.

"Just tell someone to buy more, the more the better. Alright, you can go now! Don't bother me unless it's important." Su Yuchen waved his hand, turned around, and picked up a book called "Willow Dance Sword Technique" to read.

Bei Haishi had no choice but to take his leave.

Watching him leave in a hurry, with countless people gathering around him, completely surrounding the area, Su Yuchen couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

………………

Only after returning to his residence did Bei Haishi finally feel relieved.

Upon seeing him enter, Master Mi and Master Yun, who were seated as guests, slowly rose and asked, "How did it go? Did you manage to handle it?"

Bei Haishi didn't tell the truth; instead, he cupped his hands and said...

"The plan worked. The gang leader is so engrossed in the martial arts manuals we sent him that he has entrusted all the mundane affairs of the gang to his foolish brother."

"In addition, the gang leader instructed that a batch of medicinal herbs be prepared for him. I don't know where the gang leader learned alchemy from, but he wants to try it out."

Upon hearing this, Mi and Yun burst into laughter, feeling that all their busy work over the past few days had finally come to a peaceful end.

Mi Xiangzhu cupped his hands and said, "Then I must congratulate Mr. Bei. In the future, you will be in charge of the gang's affairs and lead the brothers to roam the martial arts world freely."

"Not at all, not at all. In the future, I will need all of you brothers to work together." Bei Haishi said politely.

In high spirits, the group exchanged compliments. Bei Haishi seized the opportunity to say, "Now that we've made this start, we must maintain it. In the future, we'll need you two to gather more secret manuals to present to the gang leader."

“This…” Mi and Yun looked at each other, gritted their teeth and agreed.

After seeing the two off, Bei Haishi sneered, "If you were to see just how monstrous that kid is, I'm afraid you two would turn around and betray us."

Now, only by maintaining contact with that young man can I conveniently manipulate things and firmly control the Chang Le Gang.

Chapter 81 The Swordswoman's Troubles

After Mi and Yun left, a young girl emerged from behind the screen. She curtsied to Bei Haishi and said, "Greetings, Mr. Bei..."

Bei Haishi composed himself and said with a smile, "Miss Shijian, now that the gang leader has returned, you must serve him carefully."

“But he…” Shi Jian’s face was full of worry, as if he was recalling the devilish appearance of that boy.

Bei Haishi gently reassured him, "The gang leader was just young and naive before. Now that the gang leader is engrossed in martial arts and alchemy, you don't need to worry about him. If anything happens, just come and find me."

Bei Haishi reassured Shi Jian for a while, the core message being that if anything happened to the gang leader, he should report it to him as soon as possible.

Shi Zhongyu's previous actions had left Shi Jian with lingering fears, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.

After seeing Shi Jian off, Bei Haishi calmly arranged for people to prepare medicinal herbs and elixir cauldrons to be sent to the boy's room.

Only then did Bei Haishi have the mind to reorganize his actions with the boy that day. He didn't know how much time had passed, but it was already dark outside and night had fallen before Bei Haishi woke up.

Under the cover of night, the lights flickered and blared. Bei Haishi squinted, listening to the sounds of patrols outside, stroking his beard as he pondered to himself…

"No matter what your plans are, as long as you delegate power, the Chang Le Gang will be in my pocket."

"And where exactly did Situ Heng hide the last chapter of the Yi Jin Jing? It's a pity that no matter how much we pressed him, the old man wouldn't tell us. Now we're in a difficult situation."

"Until this old injury heals, I, Bei, will be unable to subdue the heroes of the martial arts world. When will I be able to rise above the world, wield power, and rest my head on the lap of a beautiful woman?"

"That young man actually knows about the Yi Jin Jing, and even knows that I tampered with it. Ah? Oh no, could it be that he's practicing the Yi Jin Jing divine skill?"

"But when we left Shaolin Temple that day, the two of us fought over the Yi Jin Jing. Only the last chapter ended up in Situ Heng's hands. Where did that boy come from for the other eleven chapters?"

"No, if he practices the Yi Jin Jing, why would he ask Mr. Bei for it? That doesn't make sense! What kind of internal energy does he practice?"

Bei Haishi felt extremely conflicted. Ever since he met the young man at Motianling, he had been shocked several times a day. Each time he met him, he felt more and more apprehensive.

For a moment, Bei Haishi was overwhelmed with thoughts, feeling that the matter was too complicated to make sense.

………………

Meanwhile, Shi Jian left Bei Haishi's side and peeked out from the doorway. Seeing the young man quietly reading by candlelight, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After checking on him several times, the boy was either reading a book or constantly gesturing with his fingers, completely oblivious to his surroundings and immersed in practicing martial arts.

As night deepened, Shi Jian gritted his teeth and tiptoed into the room to prepare water for washing. Just as he was about to go out to prepare food, he turned around and saw the young man looking at him calmly.

"Young Master..." Shi Jian was startled, but saw that the young man was just sitting there, without any of his usual frivolity, only a calm and composed demeanor.

Su Yuchen glanced at her and, judging from her attire and manner of address, roughly guessed who she was: "You are Shi Jian?"

Seeing him like this, Shi Jian had long forgotten her fear and instead laughed, "Young Master, you've been out for a while, how come you seem like a different person? Who else could I be but Shi Jian?"

Su Yuchen glanced at her, and Shi Jian felt that the ordinary young man was gone, replaced by supreme majesty and indifference. The laughter that had just come out stopped abruptly.

Su Yuchen glanced at her, then looked away, lowering his head to read his book and said, "From now on, you must knock before entering. You may not enter without my permission, understand?"

Shi Jian's face flushed and paled in an instant. She felt that the young man was like a cold and heartless block of ice. She couldn't help but think to herself, "This isn't the time for you to call me 'good sister' or 'good little sister'!"

Shi Jian had intended to make a few sarcastic remarks, but the boy's earlier gaze involuntarily came to mind, and he felt an indescribable feeling pressing down on his heart, leaving him unable to refute.

"Yes, young master. This servant understands!" She curtsied and then turned to leave.

Su Yuchen shook his head. This Shi Zhongyu was truly hopeless, but he was too lazy to clean up the mess he had left behind.

………………

This time, Shi Jian learned his lesson and knocked on the door. He waited for the young man to call him in before opening the door and having the food served.

After everyone else had left, Su Yuchen wiped his hands with a hot towel before walking to the dining table.

At first glance, Su Yuchen frowned as he looked at the table full of food. He tasted a bite of each dish and ate the meal hastily.

"You should eat a balanced diet from now on. It shouldn't be too oily, too bland, too sweet, or too spicy. Just a mix of meat and vegetables is fine," Su Yuchen said to Shi Jian, who was standing to the side, after the meal.

Seeing Shi Jian's bewildered expression, he was too lazy to say anything more, and just hoped that she could focus on her work.

It took a moment for Shi Jian to react, and he hurriedly agreed. After Shi Jian packed up and left, Su Yuchen picked up the book "The Eight Halberds of the Heavenly Dragon" and started reading it again.

Compared to the graceful and agile "Willow Sword Technique", the halberd technique was a martial art that Su Yuchen had never encountered in either of his two lives, and this double halberd technique had its own unique features.

This "Eight Halberds of the Heavenly Dragon" progresses step by step, from the first move, "White Python Turns Over," to the final move, "Heavenly Dragon Soars Across the World," with each move becoming more powerful than the last.

Moreover, the two halberds, one yin and one yang, one hard and one soft, together completely fill in the gaps in the moves, which is quite unique.

Su Yuchen used his inner light to deduce, and he gained a lot in a short time. Every time, a wonderful idea would pop up, and he couldn't help but be engrossed in watching.
