"Hmm?"
Tien Shin and Dumpling turned their heads and looked at Sun Wuben in confusion.
"I'll give you a test." Sun Wuben smiled. Tien Shin and Dumpling's eyes lit up. They looked at Mia, obviously thinking that she was the one in charge here.
Mia frowned and looked at Sun Wuben. "Wuben, what are you doing?"
"Sister Mia, I'll tell you later."
"Don't be rash. Our Sun Woo-ryu accepting disciples is no small matter. If you don't handle it well, you'll ruin our reputation," Mia said in a low voice.
"Sister, don't worry. I'm not a child." Sun Wuben said, then waved to Tien Shin and Dumpling. "What are you waiting for? Come here." He walked to the forest beside the road and found a fist-sized cobblestone on the ground. He then took out a pen from his pocket.
"You two, look after this stone."
Sun Wuben wrote the word "Wu" on the stone, then waved his hand. "Follow me." He led them to the cliff at the back of the mountain and threw the stone into the forest below.
"Whoosh!"
The stone was thrown far away and disappeared into the forest.
"I'll give you a chance. If you find this stone in thirty minutes, I'll teach you martial arts this time," Sun Wuben said in a low voice.
"Thirty minutes?" Tien Shin and Dumpling's expressions changed.
"In such a big forest, how is it possible to find a stone with words written on it in thirty minutes?" Kara looked at Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu with pity, then turned around and walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back. The corners of Miya's mouth curled into a faint smile. She looked at Sun Wuben with a strange expression, shook her head, and walked down the mountain.
"Are you playing with us?" Tien Shin was furious.
"Hmph!" Sun Wuben snorted. "Do you think I have nothing better to do? Why aren't you looking for it? Although it's difficult, it's not like there's no chance. If you're lucky, and the gods bless you, you'll be able to find it. "After saying this, he smiled, and no longer paid attention to the two angry men, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
Not long after, two figures walked into the hall.
"Wuben, if they really find the stone in thirty minutes, are you really going to accept them?"
"It's not thirty minutes. As long as they find the stone, I dare to accept it. Anyway, they don't have a watch, so they can't tell the specific time. They can't spend two or three hours looking for a broken stone, right?" Sun Wuben said seriously.
Miya's smile instantly vanished. "Wuben, you're determined to take them as your disciples."
"You can say that, Sister Mia. I know you're not willing to accept it, and you're afraid of ruining the reputation of the dojo and becoming a joke in the martial arts world. But isn't there a rule in the martial arts world that you don't have to pay for accepting disciples?"
"There is such a rule, but although these two people have some talent, there's no need to …" Mia was very puzzled.
"Believe me, these two people are still very promising. I'm worried that their desire for martial arts is too strong, and our Sun Wu Dojo is too small to keep them." Sun Wuben said. Tien Shin and Dumpling's potential was strong enough at this time, but it was limited. Sun Woo-ryu's disciples were not cost-effective, but Sun Wuben couldn't tell Mia the story of Dragon Ball and tell her that these two people's potential was like the starry sky and the sea.
Mia frowned, stared at Sun Wuben, and suddenly sighed.
"You, why are you suddenly like this? You don't want to go to school, and … Mother is so sick, but you're still so capricious. I really don't know how to control you."
…
Tien Shin and Dumpling were lucky. After Sun Wuben threw the stone, they came back with the stone 52 minutes later. It was the cobblestone that Sun Wuben wrote the words on.
In the hall of the Sun Wu Dojo.
Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu sat upright in the lower seats.
Mia frowned and looked at the two with an ugly face. She didn't want to accept these two disciples at all, but if she didn't accept them, Sun Wuben would accept them in his name. Mia didn't want Sun Wuben to waste precious time on these two people, so she reluctantly agreed to accept them.
"Listen." Mia said coldly, "The founder of the Sun Woo-ryu Dojo was Ancestor Sun Wugao two hundred years ago. Ancestor Sun Wugao was the master of martial arts at that time, Tsurugi, and became his registered disciple …"
Mia talked about the basics coldly.
"No …"
The more Sun Wusheng listened, the more he frowned.
From the historical inheritance to the basic theoretical knowledge, what Mia said was almost the same as what his father, Sun Wuxian, said. Historical inheritance was not important, but martial arts cultivation …
It couldn't be said that Mia was wrong.
It was just like what Miya and Sun Wuxian had said. It was like treating a patient and saving a life. They knew what kind of illness and what kind of medicine they should prescribe, but they did not know the principle behind the illness and medicine. As the saying goes, treat the head when the head hurts, treat the foot when the foot hurts. They knew the cause but did not know the reason.
What surprised Sun Wuben the most was that although Mia said it so badly, Tien Shin and Dumpling were so enraptured, especially Dumpling.
"Sister Mia, from today onwards, I will resume my martial arts cultivation. Tien Shin and Dumpling will be taught by me."
"You …"
Mia stopped teaching and looked at Sun Wuben with an ugly face.
"You are still young and don't know anything. Listen to me, the path of martial arts is a road of no return …"
"I have already decided." Sun Wuben shook his head. He had been arguing with Mia for a long time about the time when Tien Shin and Dumpling were looking for the stone.
"My son has grown up and can't be controlled by his mother, let alone me, his adopted sister. Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. I hope you won't regret it in the future." Mia sighed, as if she had suddenly aged a lot. Her expression was full of exhaustion.
"Tien Shin, Dumpling, I will repeat what my sister told you just now to deepen your impression." Sun Wuben no longer looked at Mia. He turned to Tien Shin and Dumpling, who had strange expressions on their faces and were watching the show.
Tien Shin frowned and said coolly, "I have almost memorized it. Dumpling's memory is better than mine. I think he …"
"Humph!" Sun Wuben snorted and said, "In that case, let me ask you, what is the source of my, Sun Woo-ryu's, origin?"
"Origin?" Tien Shin and Dumpling were confused.
"Teacher Mia didn't talk about this, did she?" Dumpling said softly. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said excitedly, "That's right, Teacher Mia said that Sun Woo-ryu was founded by Tsurugi's unofficial disciple. The origin is Tsurugi."
"Not bad, Dumpling. You have some brains. Tsurugi is the origin of Sun Woo-ryu. He is the founder of Hokusen-ryu. But do you know anything further back? "
"Further back?"
Not only were Dumpling and Tien Shin confused, but even Mia was confused. For her, or even the entire Sun family, knowing about Tsurugi was already a lot. Before Tsurugi, perhaps only the founder of Sun Woo-ryu might know a little.
"Teacher Mia didn't talk about this." Dumpling shook his head repeatedly.
"Remember, Hokusen-ryu is inherited from Wu Taidou's Wu Taidou School." Sun Wuben said in a deep voice, "The Wu Taidou School is the ancestor of most martial arts schools today. There are still Wu Taidou Schools in the world today. Sister Mia should know about this."
Mia nodded, her face full of surprise.
"When Grandpa and I traveled the world, we went to Wu Taidou's dojo and met the dojo master. I didn't expect their lineage to be so strong. No wonder they were so arrogant and ignored us," Mia said in surprise, then frowned. "But I don't think they are that strong?"
"That's natural." Sun Wuben smiled. "Wu Taidou's disciples were all killed or injured because of an incident. Only two people survived, namely the founder of Hokusen-ryu, Tsurugi, and the founder of the Turtle School, Master Roshi. Therefore, the true inheritors of the Wu Taidou School are concentrated in the Turtle School and Hokusen-ryu. The inheritance of the Wu Taidou School from the Wu Taidou School is not as much as the inheritance of these two schools. It is even possible that they don't have any real Wu Taidou. They are just borrowing the name of Wu Taidou."
"There is such a thing?" Mia stared at Sun Wuben. She and Grandpa Sun Wusheng had traveled the world, but her understanding of the secrets of the martial arts world was not as good as Sun Wuben's.
"Wuben, this is the first time Elder Sister learned about the legendary Tsurugi and Master Roshi. These two sworn enemies were actually fellow disciples. Moreover, they both studied under Wu Taidou. I'm afraid that even Grandpa Wuben and Father Wuben don't know about this!" Mia's voice was strange. Today, it could be said that Wuben had surprised her again and again. Of course, there were also shocks.
Sun Wuben curled his lips. The secrets of the martial arts history just now could be said to have been intentionally or unintentionally covered or forgotten. Not to mention the Sun Wusheng Family, even the founder of the Sun Woo-ryu School had limited knowledge.
