Ding Ding Dong Dong …
Hong Yi placed a handful of gold and silver into the copper basin, producing a crisp sound. However, his thoughts were repeatedly replaying the moment when the iron tower-like burly man waved the big metal rod and sparred with the little girl.
For some reason, when the iron tower-like burly man waved the iron rod, thunder roared and whistled through the air. His aura was mighty, making Hong Yi clearly feel that this martial art had the style of the Daizen Temple!
That's right, the iron tower-like burly man's rod technique was the martial arts style of the Daizen Temple that had been destroyed for twenty years.
The martial arts of the Daizen Temple were firm and fierce with short routes. His footsteps were like the wind and he did not turn or sway. He came and went in a straight line. Furthermore, when he exhaled, his tongue was like spring thunder. His entire aura had a ferocious feeling that shook one's heart.
There was a style of writing in literature and a style of martial arts in martial arts. Hong Yi could roughly tell which school of thought the article belonged to just by looking at the style of writing.
Although his martial arts cultivation was not at the level where he was proficient in all the martial arts in the world, he could tell what kind of martial arts it was at at a glance. However, he himself practiced the martial arts of the Daizen Temple — the Ox Demon's Great Strength Fist and the Tiger Demon's Bone Training. He was even more familiar with the annotations of Zen Master Yin Yue in the martial scriptures. He had already familiarized himself with the style of the Daizen Temple's martial arts.
"The rod technique used by this iron tower-like burly man is similar to the 'Ape Demon God Rod' mentioned in the annotations of the martial scriptures by Monk Yin Yue. As for the little girl, her movement technique is light like a butterfly dancing, but it also resembles the 'Butterfly Dance Fist Technique' cultivated by the women of the Xuantian Hall in Yun Meng's martial arts holy land." Monk Yin Yue said that these two sets of fist techniques, one was extremely soft and the other was extremely yin. They complemented each other perfectly. How did it appear in the hands of these artists? "
In that instant, Hong Yi's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. He was extremely curious about these three performers.
Hong Yi read Yin Yue's annotations very attentively because he knew from Hakuziyue that Yin Yue was once an Elder of the Daizen Temple. His martial arts had reached the peak of Wu Sheng's level and he had even started to train his acupoints, showing signs of entering the Human Immortal Realm. His martial arts were exceptional, and the notes he left behind were of course worth studying.
However, Yin Yue's annotations were useless to people who wanted to train. It could only be used as a reference. That was because the various martial arts he mentioned in the Martial Scripture were just a few lines and weren't detailed.
Those who practiced martial arts, even if they obtained a truly detailed secret manual, might not necessarily be able to practice it well, let alone such a sparsely sketched thing.
However, these annotations were of great use to Hong Yi's understanding of all the martial arts in the world.
Demon Ape Chaos God Stick was a stick technique that wasn't a body training fist technique. It was a pure killing technique. Once it was used, it would consume a lot of stamina and destroy one's own body. However, it was extremely powerful. A giant iron stick danced about, causing the sun and moon to lose their light and the sky to be filled with light.
When Yin Yue mentioned this fist technique, there were two conditions. First, only martial artists who had reached the Xiantian Realm could use it, otherwise, it would harm the body. Second, people with special talents. The so-called special talents were people who were naturally tall and strong like a bull.
It was obvious that Hong Yi could tell that this iron tower-like man was a strong and muscular man.
The martial arts holy land of Yun Meng Country was called Xuantian Hall. It was once on the same level as the Daizen Temple. However, now that the Daizen Temple was destroyed, Xuantian Hall still stood on the grasslands in the east. It produced many talents and sent large amounts of experts to Yun Meng Country.
"If I hadn't read Yin Yue's annotations and cultivated the martial arts of the Daizen Temple, I really wouldn't be able to see the origin of this martial arts technique."
These thoughts only flashed past Hong Yi's mind in an instant.
He put down the money and looked at the surprised gazes of the old man, the strong man and the little girl. He said softly, "The law of Da Qian forbids people from using fists and sticks. Although the bailiffs and city guards won't come and arrest you if you perform to earn a living, this is Yujing City, right under the Emperor's nose. If you perform and perform, you might really attract soldiers and bring unnecessary trouble. Moreover, this brat is still young. It is a little pitiful for her to live in the open. Take this money and rent a place to stay. Start a small business and at least you can live a stable life. "
Seeing so much money, the eyes of the people around were dazzled by the gold and silver. Some of their eyes were filled with greed.
There were people from all walks of life on the bridge. At this moment, when Hong Yi took out so much gold and silver, it naturally made people envious.
"May I ask for young master's name?" The old man hesitated. He felt the gazes of the people around but he didn't dare to accept it.
"I am Hong Yi of Marquis Wu Wen's residence," Hong Yi said.
"Marquis Wu Wen's residence …" As soon as they heard the name Marquis Wu Wen's residence, the greedy gazes of the people around them immediately disappeared. At the same time, they weren't surprised that Hong Yi was giving out money. Not all the aristocratic families of the Da Qian Dynasty were heartless. During the New Year, they would open porridge markets and do charity. When they met poor people, they would not be stingy with money.
"So it is the young master of Marquis Wu Wen's family. No wonder he is so generous to help the poor."
"That's nothing. The Heir Jing Yuxing of the High Duke Li's Public House is truly generous. The last time he came to Heavenly Bridge, he met a Martial Master who was sick and looking like he was about to die. He immediately sent for a doctor for him. Later, he gave him money to start a business and helped him get married. That's what you call generous."
The people around them started to discuss.
Hong Yi could clearly feel the changes in the people around him. He knew that even if he showed off his wealth, nothing would happen. Instead, it would increase his reputation. He sighed and thought to himself, "Although I have to leave the Hou Mansion, it is killing two birds with one stone. I can get to know these three people. In the future, when I practice martial arts, I can ask them for advice. When I become a High Scholar, they are willing to become servants and manage the affairs of the Hou Mansion. Although these three people have mysterious origins, they are skilled in martial arts. They do not steal or rob. They sleep in the Temple of Shing Wong and sell their skills to earn money. They are not evil people. "
Hong Yi had his own way of looking at people.
After becoming a High Scholar, there would naturally be many destitute families or farmers who were greedy for tax exemptions who would sell themselves as servants, hoping to gain the High Scholar's favor. It must be known that High Scholars had the right to speak in court. Ordinary families would go bankrupt if they were to go to court. If they were to become a High Scholar, although they would become a servant, they would be able to bully others.
Although these three people's martial arts were mysterious, in the Da Qian realm, their martial arts were difficult to pass. High martial arts would attract the wind. Even the powerful Daizen Temple would be destroyed by the court. If one's martial arts skills were low, it would be easier for the court to arrest him.
Those Jianghu people who came and went as they pleased and treated the court as nothing. In the current flourishing age of the Da Qian dynasty, they had long been wiped out. Unless they were evil cultists who hid among the commoners. However, they would develop in secret and their organization was mysterious. They would not come out of their sects to attract the attention of the court, but they would still attract the attention of the court.
"So it is the young master of Marquis Wu Wen's residence. Please accept a bow from this old man. Tie Zhu, Mu The Younger, quickly come up and pay your respects to our benefactor. "
When the old man heard Hong Yi's name, he knew that even if he took the money, he would not be in trouble. He hurriedly knelt on the ground.
The tower-like burly man and the little girl also hurriedly followed the old man and knelt.
In fact, they were already in poverty. Otherwise, they would not have slept in the City God's Temple. Hong Yi's money could help them tide over their difficulties. It was truly a life-saving grace.
Hong Yi was not pretentious. He graciously accepted the few bows. Naturally, he had to accept bows and thanks for a great favor. This was a principle.
"Mm, arrange for a shop to stay in. Settle down first. If there are any problems, find me at Marquis Wu Wen's residence." Hong Yi nodded and brought the three down the bridge. They went to a nearby inn to stay and then returned to the Marquis's residence.
…
After returning to the Marquis's residence, Hong Yi did not think too much. He washed up and went to sleep. He slept until dawn.
The next day, he still had nothing to do. He left the Marquis's residence and went to the place where the three people were staying. He found that the old man, burly man, and the little girl were already discussing about renting a shop to start a small business.
If they could settle down, the three of them would naturally want to settle down.
Hong Yi saw that nothing had happened to them and nodded his head. He did not speak much, nor did he mention anything about martial arts. Instead, he returned to the Marquis's residence.
On the morning of the third day, Hong Yi had just woken up when he heard the sound of drums and gongs outside the Marquis's residence. The sound of firecrackers was so loud that it shook the heavens. The maidservant named Zi Yu ran in and looked at Hong Yi with a strange look in her eyes, "Young Master, the person who announced the good news is waiting outside. You have achieved first place, Top Scorer."
