After hearing what Xie Yi said, Xie Yuan suddenly felt happy.
It turns out that Xie Yi has been thinking about this matter before. Although I don’t know why he was so cautious, he finally figured it out and felt that he could involve himself in these contents.
The Xie family's arsenal is considered the most prestigious martial arts holy place of the Xie family, so it is reasonable to be cautious.
Xie Yuan leaned forward slightly, showing that he was listening attentively.
Xie Yi’s voice was low and he said slowly:
"Xie Yuan, do you know why the eight aristocratic families are divided into the upper three and other families?"
Xie Yuan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
But since Xie Yi asked this, Xie Yuan tentatively said:
“Is it related to Xie’s arsenal?”
“Yes.”
Xie Yi nodded:
“Although each of the eight aristocratic families has huge power resources and top-level inheritance of skills, they are limited by their bloodline and their talents are always limited. It is not so easy to produce a great master. Only the upper three surnames have had great masters from generation to generation, almost without interruption..."
Hearing this, Xie Yuan couldn't help but glance at Xie Yi quietly.
How accomplished is Xie Yi? Naturally, I felt his gaze, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I coughed lightly and said:
"Of course, our family has had times like this, but they are very short-lived. Even if they have, your second uncle will call you There is no problem with being ranked first below the Grand Master. He is no worse than some Grand Masters
"Moreover, if I really want to break through to the Grand Master, I can go further within the next few years. It's just..."
When he said this, he paused, shook his head and said:
< br>"It's too early to tell you this."
Xie Yuan was curious, but Xie Yi changed the subject and just listened He continued:
“For thousands of years, the number of top aristocratic families has not always been eight, and sometimes the top three surnames are also the top four surnames, or we can say that they stand side by side. However, only our Xie family, Qinghe Cui family and The Langya Wang family has always been at the top and has never retreated, so it gradually became known as the Shangsan surname
“The biggest reason is that, in addition to the other inexplicable things like the family’s heritage, family style, and bloodline, there is also the fact that we all have our own core inheritance, which is higher than that of other aristocratic families.
“For example, the Langya Wang family, their treasure is not the magic weapon, but a book with no offensive power.
“However, that book was left by a saint in ancient times. It records the saint’s words, deeds, and small words, and has its own mysterious and extraordinary power.
“The Wang family relied on the saint’s book to become disciples from generation to generation. All of them can cultivate the "great righteousness". This aura of great righteousness is brilliant and righteous, both internal and external. It is truly the best aura in the world and has infinite power. However, with the help of the saint's book, it is not that difficult to practice. Therefore, it is easier for each generation of genius disciples of the Wang family to break through to become a great master.
"As for the Qinghe Cui family, they rely on the clan's sacred sword 'Qinghe Sword'. This magic weapon is different from other families' magic weapons. It has its own spirituality and contains the legacy of the great masters of the past dynasties. The disciples of Qinghe Cui's swordsmanship have never been defeated by top masters with this extraordinary magic weapon.
"And we, the Xie family of Chen County, rely on either magical weapons or holy objects, but the Xie family's arsenal."
Xie Yi turned his head and looked at the lights that were on even in the night. Looking at the mountains and small towers in the clan, he slowly said:
"Xie Yuan, you know Xie "Is there anything special about the arsenal?"
Xie Yuan followed his gaze towards the tower and said in deep thought:
"I only know that there are many martial arts stored in it, which are said to be all over the world. Taiban Gongfa is all-encompassing and encompasses everything.”
Xie Yi smiled and said:
"'Including the world's martial arts'... This statement is naturally an exaggeration. But the other things you said are basically correct.
"Thank you The Clan's arsenal is not a secret relic, it has no other special features, it just has many skills.
"On the top floor of the arsenal, there are ten volumes of secret books that our Xie family has collected over thousands of years. Each one has different skills, and all of them can reach the sky."
Xie Yuan After hearing this, he suddenly showed a shocked look.
Ten volumes of secret books, all reaching the sky?
What the dignified Xie family said about reaching the sky was naturally not an exaggeration.
Rather, each of these ten techniques can lead to the Grand Master or even beyond!
This is too much.
Xie Yuan knew that even the Jinling Yao family, who once dominated the world and was a member of the royal family, had only one other top skill, "Xuanhuang Seven Chapters", besides the top Dajinhe Kung Fu. The path of the great master.
As for other aristocratic families, they are only famous for one or two techniques, and they are able to practice the top techniques of great masters.
Even Qinghe Cui and King Langya can reach this level with only two or three or even three or four techniques. This is already an overestimation.
How can it be so easy to find a technique that can lead to becoming a great master?
The unity of inside and outside represents the highest state of martial arts’ path to spirituality. Since martial arts has occupied the mainstream of spiritual practice in the world for thousands of years, there are only about a hundred kinds of top magical skills that can achieve true results. Most of them All are slowly lost in the long river of history.
The emergence of any technique that can directly lead to the realm of a grand master will inevitably create a storm in the world, attracting countless warriors to fight for it, and the bloody storm is light.
As a result, the Xie family monopolized ten volumes.
Xie Yuan's look of surprise did not recede, and he couldn't help but said:
"I'm afraid it's difficult to keep the news after so many years, right? Hasn't it aroused the covetousness of other families?"
Xie Yi nodded and said:
"Of course it has happened. No. The Xie family's arsenal is the foundation of my Xie family. The masters of the arsenal account for half of the Xie family. There are even elders who live in the arsenal and never leave it. , both jade and stone will be burned, even if the arsenal is burned, it will not be left to the enemy
"In the past thousands of years, there have been very few forces that have been able to force our clan into this situation. Although they have faced many methods, in the end those who have this strength have their own suitable techniques and will not fight us. , both sides will suffer losses; and those who do not have this strength , there is nothing to fear from any monsters or ghosts.”
Xie Yuan nodded slowly, naturally knowing that there were actually many storms in these calm and calm sentences, but they were all there. Turned into dust in history.
Xie Yi continued:
“So our family has great masters from generation to generation, and there are actually many skills. After all, even if you are a great master, you may not be an all-rounder. , there is always a path that suits you. There are many masters from other families. He is extremely talented, but after becoming a master, he has no suitable top skills and it is difficult to go further
"For example, if the Cui family is a natural swordsman, it is okay, but if it is natural to use swords and guns. Yes, basically he has no chance with the Grand Master.
"But our clan is different. As long as you have the qualifications, no matter what aspect, you can always find a suitable path in the Xie family's arsenal. Even if you don't have the talent of a grand master, it is not difficult to become a first-class master. After all, the all-powerful all-rounder There are few talents, and there are also few mediocre people who know nothing. , most people still have their own talents.
"The Xie family's arsenal has eight levels, and each level is divided into eight sections, namely 'External Training', 'Internal Strength', 'Swords', and 'Hundreds of Swords'. Bing', 'fists and palms', 'legs and feet', 'miscellaneous knowledge', 'tianji'.
“Needless to say, external training of internal strength is the fundamental method of martial arts practice;
“Swords and Hundreds of Soldiers are various weapons, among which swords are special, and two soldiers are combined into one.
“The sword is the king of soldiers. In the ancient times, the human emperor held the sword to open up the world for the human race and established his position as the leader of all human races. Since then, the sword has occupied the place in the human race’s practice. He holds a very important position, so all kinds of swordsmanship in the world are the most profound and most powerful;"
"Swordsmanship has been used a lot since ancient times, and the number of swordsmanship is probably the largest among all weapons. There have been countless masters of swordsmanship throughout the ages, so two weapons, swordsmanship and swordsmanship, account for one of the eight divisions."
Xie Yuan nodded to express his understanding.
The sword has always been known as the leader of a hundred soldiers and the king of soldiers, which is not unrelated to the human emperor, the ancestor of the human race.
Since the Human Emperor has been using swords since the beginning, naturally many of those who came after him followed suit and regarded the sword as their esteem.
But the status of Kendo is not just because everyone follows the strong.
The sword itself is both offensive and defensive, has wide applicability, has almost no obvious shortcomings, and has an extremely high upper limit. There is no problem in being called the king of soldiers.
It is not because the human emperor uses the sword, the sword is the king of soldiers; it is because the sword is the king of soldiers, and the strongest man in the human race uses the sword.
But a sword is sharpened on both sides, and its forging process and material cost are much higher than that of a machete;
In addition, sword skills are more difficult to master than sword skills. , The chopping and swinging of the knife is human instinct, while the picking and thrusting of the sword requires more or less practice, so the knife is more popular than the sword.
The nobles of aristocratic families are accustomed to using swords, while those at the bottom of the world mostly use knives.
With more people using it, a road gradually opens up. From ancient times to the present day, there are countless warriors who have become saints in swordsmanship, but even at that level they are not necessarily inferior to masters of swordsmanship. Therefore, there are always many exquisite sword skills.
“Hundred soldiers are other weapons, whether they are spears, bows, axes, hammers or hooks and other unpopular things.
“Fist palm is headed by boxing and palm techniques. He also has a lot of unarmed skills and fighting skills. Although the weapons are powerful, when practiced to a high level, the physical body of a warrior is not inferior to the sword. There have been many great masters since ancient times who have conquered mountains and rivers with their fists and broken the world with their palms. There is a boxing sutra on the eighth level of the arsenal, which is not inferior to other top techniques.
"Legs and feet are similar to fists and palms, but they focus on one pair of legs. There are not only leg techniques, but also various footwork, body techniques, and light skills. In fact, this is the big head. But there is a saying among the people, 'hands It's two doors and it's all about kicking people'. There are very few warriors who are known for their leg and foot skills, but various mysterious body-lighting skills and body-moving techniques are indispensable for warriors
"Mechanical puppets, flying stone hidden weapons, disguise modifications, etc. , various miscellaneous subjects are also included. Although there are not as many collections in this category as others, as long as they are in the arsenal, they are all fine products.
"The last ones are Feng Shui Kanyu, Heavenly Secret Techniques, and some secret techniques. There are even fewer of these types, and many of them have been lost in the world, but our Xie family still has a complete inheritance. At least if you have this talent, It’s no big deal to become a master.”
Xie Yi then shook his head:
“But there are few people in the tribe who practice the art of heaven. There are very few of them. Firstly, this way is extremely difficult, and secondly, interfering too deeply with the secrets of heaven may lead to loss of life. Most people in the clan still want to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives through martial arts. There are other ways to pursue martial arts. "
Xie Yuan heard this with great interest and raised his eyebrows:
"Will Tianji Technique ruin life?"
"That's right. Heaven's secrets cannot be leaked, which is certainly not a lie. Since ancient times, few people who practice the secret arts have lived a long life, and it is even rare for them to die."
Xie Yi nodded.
Xie Yuan suddenly frowned.
No wonder Miss Mu seems to be running out of energy at all times. I once asked her and she said it was nonsense... Are you afraid that I will worry? Or will the Mu family's secret method be more profound?
No, I have to find some life-extending medicine for her in the future. It is best to wait until I have the ability to let her stop practicing this way, or at least use it sparingly.
His expression was changing. Xie Yi saw that he was distracted. He made a guess and asked:
"Are you worried about your friend from the Mu family?"
Since he After checking Xie Yuan, he naturally knew all the things that had spread to the outside world after he came out of Yunzhao. He naturally knew that there was a secret Mu family grandmaster supporting him.
Xie Yuan was guessed by him and nodded simply:
"Second uncle, is there any way to make up for it with Tianji Technique?"
"How can it be so easy to repair the leaked secrets? You can only use it sparingly, and rely on some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to replenish your vitality, and you can be as stable as ordinary people.
"But if you want to live as long as a martial arts master, ...Unless you give up Tianji Technique when you are young and switch to other methods, you might have a chance. "
Xie Yi said calmly.
Xie Yuan frowned. Fortunately, Miss Mu is still young, so there should be room for change... But she is already a master, and the magic of heaven is deeply rooted, so I'm afraid It's hard to tell.
He didn't do it before. After thinking about this problem, he always felt that the young beautiful master was not the same kind of person as those old guys who were lingering. However, the more he thought about it now, the more worried he became, and he secretly made up his mind to ask Mu Chaoyun next time. If it was true, he would not allow it. She interferes with Tianji again.
As for the Mu family's blood feud, which requires advanced skills... let him do it for him.
If you want to convince Mu Chaoyun, you must be convincing enough as soon as possible, and you must find out the murderer behind the scenes and take revenge as soon as possible, otherwise Mu Chaoyun will definitely not give up.
Xie Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"Second uncle, which family do you think will destroy the Mu family?"
Xie Yi pondered for a moment and said:< br>
"The family has discussed this matter several times before, and has paid attention to it secretly, but now it is difficult to say who it is.
"In terms of strength, the top eight families can destroy the Mu family. Three families, plus one religion, two sects and four sects all have opportunities. Oh, and royalty.
“But if such an overnight destruction does not cause alarm to the outside world, I am afraid that the great master will have to take action.
“The three surnames Zhong Wang and Cui may have this strength, but I think they There is no incentive to do so. The Mu family in Beidu Mountain has always lived in seclusion, rarely communicating with others and rarely having conflicts.
“Although the four sects have all defeated the Mu family, I feel that they still owe a little to destroy the Mu family in such a silent way.
"There are only one religion and two sects. Their strength is unfathomable and their inheritance has a long history. They should be able to do it. However, the two sects are outsiders and well-known sects. Even if they offend them, they mostly focus on Duhua teachings. Even if they want to It is impossible for them to use such bloody and secret methods to destroy the enemy. "So, do you think the most likely one is the Zao Cult?"
Xie Yuan. concluded.
Xie Yi nodded:
"Actually, I have doubted Zikong Mountain. After all, this sect is the most mysterious among the four sects, and people can’t figure out the details. Someone once said about their strength. No worse than Erzong.
"In addition, Zhikong Mountain also practices Tianji art, and there may be conflicts with the Mu family in this regard; and although the Mu family is not top-notch in strength, as a family inheriting Tianji, they are always wary of dangers. They are not fellow practitioners of this way, even if their strength is overwhelming. If they are like King Cui, I feel that they cannot be destroyed overnight without leaking any news."
Xie Yuan nodded silently and wrote down these clues, preparing to investigate them one by one in the future.
“In fact, there are major esoteric sects in the Western Regions, but the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, separated by the boundless Western Desert, so the possibility is even smaller.”
Xie Yi shook his head, looked at Xie Yuan, and said with a smile. :
“It seems that the survivor of the Mu family is a woman, or a young woman.”
Xie Yuan's face turned hot. Is it so obvious?
"I guess you don't like older women... Well, such a young girl can become a grandmaster, which seems to be extremely talented.
"Yes, you have a chance to make her Bring it to the clan so your aunt and I can take a look and make up our minds. If it is possible, this marriage is not impossible. When the time comes, she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, and it is natural for her to help her take revenge - of course, it is not easy to destroy the Mu family. If you want to convince the elders, I am afraid you have to mention your status again, at least You need to have a strong say in the family, such as being the patriarch or something. Well, there are also life-extending secret medicines, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which are naturally found in the clan leader's treasury. "
Xie Yi said half jokingly and half seriously.
Xie Yuan pretended not to hear such encouragement. He would rather risk his family to get rid of the position of the head of the family. ?...
I don’t know if he trusts his own character too much, or if he wants to find an heir too much.
Reminiscing that Xie Yi didn’t even like to practice when he was young, Xie Yuan thought it might be the latter.
"Haha, I'm going too far."
Xie Yi shook his head and returned to the previous topic:
"The Xie family's arsenal has eight units on each floor, a total of eight floors. The first level is considered to be the most popular kung fu collection in the world - but almost no one in the family at this level practices it except for the servants, which is to open the eyes of the disciples.
"The second level is considered high-quality, and it is almost the same as the first level. The third level is the kind of skills that are pretty good outside, and can barely reach the master level, such as your golden bell.
“Each level contains better, more powerful, and more difficult items than the previous level. By the sixth level, it is already comparable to many sects' unique skills, or in other words, many of them are the unique skills of once glorious sects. The Nine Yunlong Styles you know are at this level.
"The seventh level, there are not many hidden skills. If there are talented warriors to practice the skills at this level, they can touch the threshold of a grand master and become the top master. No problem. If you have an astounding understanding, you might be able to find a way forward, bring forth new ideas, and overcome the internal and external shackles. Become a great master. Two of the eighth-level techniques were derived from the family's brilliant predecessors from the seventh level. Our practitioners in the Xie family are the best in the world. ”
After listening to so much, Xie Yuan finally had an understanding of Xie’s arsenal from the inside out.
This is basically a martial arts library.
Among the three schools above, King Langya relies on the relics of saints, Qinghe Cui relies on peerless magic weapons, and Chen Junxie relies on this entire education system.
In Xie Yuan's view, it is obviously more scientific for Xie to train younger disciples.
Although Yunshan Sword Sect, Cangjian Pavilion, etc. only accept swordsmanship disciples, they recruit disciples from all over the world, with a wide range of talents, and there is no shortage of talents;
The martial arts family itself has a limited selection of talents. If you master one or two techniques, it all depends on luck whether one of them can achieve the right results.
If you are unlucky and there is no suitable talented disciple for decades or hundreds of years, the top family will decline. This has happened countless times in history.
And like Mr. Xie, who pays close attention to education, as long as he is a talented disciple, he can always find a way.
“The ancestors who came up with the idea of Xie’s arsenal were really foresighted.”
Xie Yuan sighed sincerely, education can strengthen a clan.
"In fact, according to unofficial records, the earliest ancestor just loved collecting. Every time he defeated an enemy, he liked to collect his skills. It was purely a personal hobby. That ancestor was invincible in the world and collected countless amounts of money throughout his life. How many techniques are necessary for today's Xie family's arsenal? Naturally, it was just a drop in the bucket, but at that time, it was discovered that many members of the clan could use it, and gradually later generations came up with this big plan. To this day, basically every martial arts path, the Xie family has a complete inheritance that can become a master."
Xie Yi commented:
"However, the Xie family's arsenal is not open to every clan member. There are too many techniques in it, and weak-minded clan members can easily get lost, and there are many clan members with ordinary talents who have no need to go in and refer to it.
" Only children recognized by the family can be qualified to enter. Moreover, if you want to climb high to learn better techniques, you have to pass a trial. "
Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"Second uncle, what is the test method? ”
Xie Yi smiled and said:
"I knew you would be moved."
"With so many treasures, it is simply a holy land for warriors. It's hard not to be moved."
And for me, this is the real place. Heaven...
Xie Yuan added in his heart.
There is no bottleneck in his practice, he will not regress, and his stock has not yet reached its upper limit, as expected.
Such a talent is best suited for more learning and practice. If he is willing to take the time, he will be Xie's arsenal by then.
If the start was not in Xiaoshi Village, but in the Arsenal Tower, even as a handyman, it would be another story.
If Xie's arsenal was so powerful, he would already have a sense of belonging.
Xie Yi smiled and explained the rules of the trial:
“The arsenal contains the most masters of the Xie family, the ones with the lowest Qi and Blood Transformation Realm, and the strongest ones are about the same strength as me. ”
Xie Yuan's eager eyes just now became much clearer.
“And when climbing the arsenal, you don’t have to go through one floor to see everything on the next floor. This building is exquisitely constructed. It can actually be regarded as eight towers combined into one, with Bagua formations inside. If you don’t pass the mechanism, They are not connected to each other, and you will get lost easily.
“If you want to get to each level, such as the external training department, you must defeat the guards of each layer of the external training department. The same goes for the internal strength department.
“These two are the basis. If you want to refer to the swords, hundreds of soldiers, etc. on the first level, you must also defeat the corresponding guards; but if you want to get to the second level, in addition to the corresponding parts, both inside and outside Both must be passed."
Xie Yuan feels a little complicated. There are so many prerequisites for going upstairs?
Although I am interested in many exercises, what I need most is external training. Since the Golden Bell is on the third level, why should I get on the fifth level? How many trials will it take...
However, the Xie family's arsenal is the core of the Xie family, so it is normal to have more rules.
"But the guards are all masters of the Third Transformation Realm? Then the tribesmen who were before the Third Transformation Realm are not qualified to enter?" Xie Yuan asked doubtfully. As far as he knew, this was not the case. For example, Xie Lingyun was qualified to enter.
“During the trial, the guards will consider your cultivation level to suppress your skill. It mainly depends on whether your skill level is sufficient. Please refer to the content of the corresponding level. What is tested is your understanding and talent rather than your ability. Absolute strength.”
Xie Yi explained:
"But by the fifth and sixth floors, the guards have their full strength."
Xie Yuan said he understood and almost understood the rules for arsenal reference.
Let’s talk based on our ability.
Xie Yi continued:
"Both the elders who guard Xie's arsenal and I believe that you are qualified to conduct the trial. As for how far you can go, it depends on you.
"Well, if I remember correctly, the Buddhist Golden Bell Covering a series of advanced external training methods, the fifth level has them. "
He looked thoughtful. After all, even the head of the Xie family cannot read all the techniques in the Xie family's arsenal. He only has a general impression.
Really? That's great.
Xie Yuan felt happy, isn’t this what he needs?
Seeing Xie Yuan eager to try, Xie Yi smiled and asked:
"How about it, when are you going to try it?"
"Tomorrow!"
Thank you Yuan is decisive.
Xie Yi was not surprised and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll let them make arrangements immediately."
He called an entourage and gave a few instructions, so the entourage immediately rushed to the arsenal and informed the arsenal to be ready tomorrow and someone was going to climb the building.
It was getting late, Xie Yuan was thinking about the trial tomorrow, so he said goodbye to Xie Yi and Cui Pingjun.
Sincerely thanking Cui Pingjun for the meal, Xie Yuan strode away under the gaze of the family of three.
Although Xie Lingyun wanted to follow, her parents seemed to still want to chat with her, so she had to hold back her feet.
"Dad, is he going to go to the arsenal for a trial tomorrow?"
Xie Lingyun asked enthusiastically.
Xie Yi said sternly:
“I’ve been hearing you call Xie Yuan ‘hey’, ‘ah’, ‘you’, and ‘he’ today, but I haven’t heard you call him once. Brother. Although he is not much older than you, you It’s so disrespectful. Don’t let people think that you are arrogant and unruly because you are the daughter of the family!” ：
"It's not because I don't respect him that I don't call him brother..."
"You talk back!"
Although Xie Yi dotes on Xie Lingyun, his family tradition is very strict and he is never ambiguous in these aspects.
Xie Lingyun wanted to cry but had no tears, but when she saw her father was serious, she could only hang her head in despair, with both pigtails hanging down.
Cui Pingjun understands her daughter's thoughts better. Although she disagrees a hundred times, she still speaks for her when her husband is cruel to her:
"My childhood sweethearts are of the same age. I think they have a good relationship like this. Xie Yuan himself doesn't care. Why are you so anxious?"
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't care. This is the rule..."
"According to the rules, day by day, the family head's genealogy is placed in our little family? Do I want to call you the head of the family, not by his first name?"
Cui Pingjun snorted softly. .
Xie Yi hissed:
"That's not true. We are married couples, so we can call each other whatever we want in private. But Lingyun and Xie Yuan are different..."
"Why are they different?"
Xie Lingyun muttered.
Xie Yi and Cui Pingjun both looked over.
Xie Lingyun frowned and said:
"Dad, you said that we should get along as real brothers and sisters. How can real brothers and sisters be so inseparable and be so respectful every day?"
"It's not that you are separated, but..."
"Okay, okay."
Cui Pingjun interrupted, mother and daughter worked together to change the subject:
"Is he going to go upstairs tomorrow?"
The arsenal test is about climbing up, so it is also known as climbing the stairs.
Xie Yi nodded:
"Yes, I have already asked someone to notify you."
Xie Lingyun suddenly became interested:
"I will inform you tomorrow I want to see it too...did he say how many floors he wanted to go to?"
"I didn't say. But with his ability, he definitely wants to join the fifth-floor external training department."
Xie Yi said.
Cui Pingjun pondered for a moment:
"He started from scratch, and it will take a lot of effort to get to the fifth floor."
The internal and external parts are the foundation, and each layer has Only after passing both the internal and external components can you challenge the next level.
Therefore, if you want to refer to the external training methods on the fifth level, it means at least nine battles.
Xie Yi nodded and said:
"He is impatient, and he may be able to go up in about five days."
"One floor per day?"
Cui Pingjun was slightly surprised. This progress is quite fast. There are very few disciples in the clan who have entered the arsenal for the first time.
Especially on the fifth floor, even an outstanding disciple of the Third Transformation Realm cannot reach it if he wants to.
Xie Lingyun’s eyes were shining:
“One layer a day is nothing to him!”
Xie Yi also nodded and said:
"The first three floors won't be too difficult for him. The main time will be spent on the fourth and fifth floors, where the guards' strength will be no worse than Xie Dun's. But I believe he can win in the end."< br>
Cui Pingjun was slightly surprised, why did her husband and daughter both trust Xie Yuan so much?
But thinking of his previous performance... Cui Pingjun nodded slightly, which was regarded as agreement.
The night passed.
The gossip in the land of the clan spread faster than Xie Yuan could have imagined, almost beyond his expectation.
"Why are there so many people around? Are there usually so many people here? Or...are they all here to watch the fun?"
Xie Yuan stood in front of the magnificent eight-story tower, thinking strangely.
The news that he was going to climb the building spread throughout the clan overnight, with the arsenal as the center.
Having just achieved an incredible victory in a battle, coupled with the meaning behind it, the heat of that competition has not yet passed, and it is almost fair to say that Xie Yuan is now a highly anticipated star in the clan.
So the guards who received the notice just told their families that Xie Yuan was going to climb the building tomorrow, and they attracted unimaginable attention. One night passed, and in the morning many people gathered here.
If time were not really limited, it would not be an exaggeration to think that the Xie family's arsenal, which was heavily guarded and rarely visited, would be completely surrounded.
The thousand-year-old family has been passed down for so long, and the most indispensable thing is rich and idle people.
The rice insect who is more rice insect than himself...it is better to be locked up in the clan's land and not to cause trouble. He has no worries about food and clothing, has people to take care of him, has cockfights and horse races, and has a lovely wife and concubines.
Xie Yuan shook his head. In the past, he might have envied this kind of life.
But now...
His eyes were looking straight at the Xie family's arsenal, which embraced all rivers, and at the tower that could be called the Holy Land of Martial Arts.
The first floor of the tower is extremely wide, and the interior feels like it can accommodate a large martial arts arena.
Each layer above gradually shrinks, forming a pattern that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Basic exercises are naturally the most common, but is it really useful for the Xie family to collect so many basic exercises that even the Xie clan members cannot practice?
Xie Yuan was thoughtful.
Maybe it's not all for reference... Maybe one day, if something happens to the Xie family, so many techniques can be brought out, and it can be the spark for a comeback.
He looked at this building, which was the core and most important in the Xie family, for a while, then walked firmly in.
Many people around him suddenly started whispering when they saw him coming in.
“He’s in. What floor do you think he can reach?”
“He just stole the show, so why would he have to go as high as three or four floors? Otherwise it would be too high. Shame on you!"
"What a mouthful! Do you know where the arsenal is? Do you know how high it is on the third or fourth floor?"
"...I can't even get in on the first floor, what's wrong? I can't get in on the third or fourth floor!"
"It doesn't matter which floor it is, it doesn't take a few days. Please take your time and watch later. If you want to get to the position that suits you, it will take you a month.”
Another place.
With a bang, the tightly covered door was pushed open, and the excited and familiar old man’s voice echoed through the house:
“What’s going on? Why didn’t you close the door and not open it? ...Okay, you are actually betting on not calling me!”
The middle-aged man was excited, and he saw Old Uncle Thirteen rushing in. He and several people around him felt a little embarrassed:
"Uncle Thirteen, I didn't expect you to come. ”
“Humph, I received the news last night "Hey, Xie Yuan wants to go upstairs! This is a good opportunity for me to stand up. I have to come!"
The middle-aged man chuckled when he heard this and said with a forced smile:
"Uncle Thirteen, Do you still have funds?”
"I had a quarrel with my old lady in the evening, so I brought some gambling money over to prepare for the repayment."
Uncle Thirteen took out the cloth bag behind his back and untied it. It was filled with golden hairpins and jade. Bracelets, precious chain rings, etc. are very luxurious. This pack can be said to be priceless.
But the middle-aged people frowned when they saw it:
“These are... aunt’s jewelry?”
Old Thirteenth Uncle scratched his neck, everyone paid attention There were a few bloodstains there, like scratches from fingernails.
He said calmly:
"Yes, it should be enough to turn over the book."
The middle-aged man and several gamblers looked at each other, even if they were all gambling dogs, they felt Uncle Thirteen is a bit too beastly.
A young lady from a wealthy family was married into the Xie family, and even her jewelry was robbed for gambling... No matter how you look at it, this is the beginning of the complete ruin of this family.
The middle-aged man frowned:
"Uncle Thirteen, we are all internal tricks. If you don't bet so big, you should take it back."
Hearing what he said, the old Uncle Thirteen immediately glared like a bell:
"Why don't you gamble? If you don't gamble, what kind of business are you running? If you win my money, you will default on the debt? Believe it or not, I will sue the elders! Gambling! You must gamble! I will stand up today!"
His voice grew louder and louder, until it became a roar. His eyes began to turn red, and he put his hand on the hilt of the sword and stared at the middle-aged man, which made him a little scared.
“Forget it, let him bet if he wants to bet...”
Someone next to me whispered advice.
This old thirteenth uncle had some talent in martial arts when he was young, but now he went crazy and everyone was trembling.
The middle-aged man had no choice but to nod in agreement.
He secretly regretted it in his heart. It seemed that this old gambler had completely inspired his gambling instinct. If something happened, he would be unable to survive and walk around...
In the past, there were elders who could persuade this old thirteenth uncle. , but now he is the eldest elder in this lineage, and no one can control him at all. Even her wife has been emptied by him... The poor old lady has been cheated by the old gambler all her life. She feels that in her old age It's rare to find stability.
The middle-aged man sighed:
"Uncle Thirteen, what are you going to pledge?"
He took a list with a few items written on it, such as "Go to the third floor within one month. ”, “Up to five levels within one month”, “Up to three levels within ten days”, “The first level can lead to eight parts”, “The first three levels can lead to eight parts”, etc., etc., each with its own odds.
The middle-aged man said in a low voice:
"Bet on the third level for a month, you will definitely make money. With such a big stake, you can win a lot."
This is probably the first time that the owner of the Xie family's internal gambling house hopes that others will win money.
Old Thirteenth Uncle glanced at it without even looking at the line pointed by the middle-aged man. He directly saw the top item and placed a heavy bet on the cloth bag:
"I bet on this! I want my money back!"
When everyone saw it, their expressions suddenly changed.
The only thing I saw was that it read - "Seven levels in seven days."
"Uncle Thirteen, the seventh floor is guarded by grandmasters..."
"I know! I also know that they all suppress cultivation and only focus on understanding! This is a real dragon, I will bet on the biggest one!
“There is also this, I will press half of this!
"I'm going to make a comeback! Hahaha!"
Uncle Thirteen breathed heavily, showing a somewhat arrogant smile.
Everyone saw that he divided half of it into another project, which had the same top odds as "Seven Days and Seven Levels" - "All Access to the First Five Levels".
A few people looked at each other, is Uncle Thirteen crazy?
The eight parts of the arsenal basically cover all martial arts, and reaching the fifth floor is already considered a master's degree. If you can really master them all, you can be regarded as an incredible all-rounder.
However, this achievement is rare in the history of the Xie family. Those who have succeeded are considered to be not doing their jobs properly.
With this talent, wouldn’t it be a good idea to study one thing intensively?
People's energy is limited. If you focus on one thing and lose another, if you practice this too much, you will inevitably become unskilled. Normal people will not practice so many techniques.
And since Xie Yuan went upstairs for the first time, this gambling stall would only last for the first month.
Even if he really has that ability, he has never been able to accomplish such a feat in one month in history. It was all done slowly over a long period of time.
It’s totally a dream.
This old thirteenth uncle is indeed crazy, and he will get even crazier soon...
Everyone looked at his expression and the position he was betting on, and they were even more desperate than he was.
Aren’t you going to give me money?
It’s over now... The middle-aged people have never been so worried about winning money.
There are already people waiting inside the door of Xie's Arsenal.
Xie Yuan saw that the area in the middle of the door was indeed quite wide, and then separated into different areas by high walls and pillars, which should be the eight departments of Xie's arsenal.
These wall pillars seemed nothing special, but when Xie Yuan saw Duomu Chaoyun's formation, he knew at a glance that there was something mysterious here.
If you make the wrong move, you may not be able to find your way, and you may even trigger the mechanism.
There was a capable middle-aged woman at the door, who seemed to be in charge of the first floor.
She raised her hands to Xie Yuan Gong:
"The head of the family and the elders have informed you that you are going to climb the stairs today, and the guards on all floors and departments are ready. Where do you want to start?"
Xie Yuan responded with a gift:
“Let’s start from the first floor.”
The female steward was silent for a moment and said:
“Of course we all start from the first floor. But The first level is divided into eight parts, which one are you going to start with?”
“All”
Xie Yuan smiled. (End of this chapter)
