Chapter 3 The finishing touch(1/2)

At that moment, Yang Feng seemed to see his figure in Huan Chang.

Ten years ago in the winter, after Yang Feng was bullied, he was very eager to become a warrior.

He didn't know what channel he knew that Huan Chang's master Xu Wang was a hermit master, so he begged Xu Wang to teach him martial arts.

However, Xu Wang refused.

Yang Feng was very stubborn and knelt outside the door for three days and three nights. Later, he fainted and fainted on the ground.

Yang Feng finally moved Xu Wang with his sincerity and perseverance.

However, Xu Wang only taught Yang Feng very superficial martial arts, and did not admit that Yang Feng was his disciple.

Even so, after ten years of martial arts practice, Yang Feng also reached the peak of his realm and became a veritable warrior.

His martial arts career changed Yang Feng's fate. Yang Feng was even more respectful to Xu Wang and always called himself a disciple of Xu Wang.

Huan Chang is now, just like Yang Feng ten years ago, stubborn and full of desire for martial arts.

Yang Feng was very spoiled by his junior brother and couldn't bear to refuse. However, when he remembered the master's explanation, he could only shake his head vigorously.

Huan Chang's face was filled with disappointment, and his voice was hoarse, "Why?"

Yang Feng did not dare to look at Huan Chang's eyes, turned his head and stared in one direction, and said, "Since the master does not allow you to practice martial arts, it is naturally reasonable."

"You just need to believe that the master will not harm you."

Huan Chang was silent. He did not continue to entangle, but just walked towards the courtyard with a complicated expression.

Yang Feng looked at Huan Chang's back and did not see Xu Wang. After a long time, he turned around and left and walked towards his home.

Huan Chang pushed open the door and saw an old man with messy hair holding a wine gourd, drunken and dreaming of death.

Even though Huan Chang walked in front of him, the old man did not react at all and was still drinking on his own.

"Master, why don't you let me practice martial arts?"

The old man seemed to have not heard Huan Chang's voice, and he still squinted his eyes and kept pouring wine into his mouth.

Looking at the master's appearance, Huan Chang smiled bitterly, walked into the house with a little lonely, and said self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I don't have the qualifications to practice martial arts."

Huan Chang took out a piece of rice paper, spread it on the drawing board, and picked up the brush to paint, but he always felt uneasy.

After hesitating for a long time, Huan Chang finally put down his brush and did not do his homework as usual.

For three consecutive days, Huan Chang did not calm down to read, practice calligraphy, and paint, but instead locked himself in the house, describing his withered appearance.

As for the cost of the home, since Yang Feng has returned, Huan Chang doesn't have to worry about it at all.

During this period, Yang Feng also came to meet Huan Chang several times. Every time he saw Huan Chang's appearance, he felt a little unbearable.

For a moment, he had the urge to teach Huan Chang’s martial arts privately, and finally he could hold it back.

On that day, Huan Chang spread a piece of rice paper in front of him and held a brush in his hand, but just like the previous few days, he had not started writing for a long time.

Since your heart is no longer here, what can you do even if you have a brush in your hand?

“Cruff!”

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Huan Chang thought it was Yang Feng who came to see him and did not look back.

"A Chang!"

A powerful voice sounded, but Huan Chang was shocked and hurriedly turned his head.

"master."

Xu Wang did not bring a wine pot today, and his clothes were neatly worn. His hair, which was scattered before, was rarely tidied up.

Xu Wang looked at the blank rice paper on the drawing board and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"A Chang blamed the master in his heart, for not teaching you martial arts?"

Huan Chang suddenly raised his head, stared at Xu Wang and said, "Is it because the master does this because I don't have the qualifications to practice martial arts?"

"The disciple just wants to know the reason, and I hope the master will tell you clearly."

Xu Wang's eyes were a little deep and he said, "Do you know, what is martial arts?"

Huan Chang was excited when he heard this. Perhaps his years of doubts would be solved today.

Although Huan Chang did not practice martial arts, he read a lot and had some understanding of martial arts. He immediately started to answer without hesitation.

"A warrior is not afraid of hardships, he tempers himself. Only when he is able to practice horizontally can he truly enter the martial arts path and is called the realm of entering the hall."

"If a warrior is of great qualifications and has achieved great success in his horizontal practice, he can cultivate true qi from the outside to the inside, which is the realm of entering the room."

"The realm of entering the room is divided into four small realms, namely refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, practicing spirit into return to emptiness, and refining emptiness into Taoism."

"A warrior reaches the realm of refining emptiness and combining the Tao. If there is another breakthrough, he can expel the mortal fetus, prolong his life, and reach the legendary mortal realm of transcendence."

Speaking of the word "transcendent", Huan Chang's eyes were full of passion.

A warrior at the Transcendent Realm is a truly top-notch strong man. Such a strong man is even qualified to hold the position of sect leader within some sects.

No matter which vassal state a master of the Transcendent Realm appears in, no king or prince dares to neglect.

There is a record in the book that a monarch once offended a strong man in the transcendent realm, but the strong man entered the palace with his own sword and blood flowed into a river.

In that battle, all the kings and thirty-eight royal families of the country were killed. Three thousand elite soldiers stepped forward to siege, with most of them killed and injured, but failed to keep the strong man.

Since then, even the powerful vassal states have never dared to offend warriors easily.

This shows the power of a warrior.

This is why Huan Chang longs to become a warrior.

In fact, it is not just Huan Chang. Every young man with ideals in Jiuzhou Continent is eager to become a powerful warrior.

As long as they become warriors, their destiny will change, and even if the government and the law will have much less constraints on warriors.

Generally speaking, warriors will not kill civilians at will, otherwise they will be jointly encircled and suppressed by the knights and the government.

As long as the warriors do not act too much, the government sometimes turns a blind eye, just like Yang Feng injured several people in a downtown city, but the official officers are left alone.

After hearing Huan Chang's narration, Xu Wang nodded first, then shook his head.

"What A Chang said is just an ordinary method of cultivation. This is also the most popular method of cultivation that martial arts sages have explored for thousands of years."

Huan Chang knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and immediately asked, "Is there any other way to practice?"

Xu Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Martial arts, martial arts, first martial arts and then Tao. Martial arts are means, and Tao is the goal."

Hearing this, Huan Chang felt a little unfamiliar.

Xu Wang continued to explain: "Ordinary warriors practice martial arts only to gain strong strength, but truly top-notch people are to pursue Taoism."

Huan Chang asked: "What is Tao?"

Xu Wang's eyes were a little deep, and then he sighed: "Everything in the world has its own way, and everyone's way is different."

"It's just that if you want to reach the peak of martial arts, you must understand your own path, otherwise you will never enter the realm of transcendence in your life."

"Generally speaking, a warrior cultivates his body and cultivates true qi from the outside to the inside. When he reaches the peak of entering the room, he will understand his own way."

"But it's too difficult to understand your own way."

Speaking of this, Xu Wang stared at Huan Chang with a bright look and said, "However, there is a kind of amazing person who cannot use the practice method of ordinary people."

"Someone once loved fishing, regardless of cold or heat, and did not fish every day, but one day they realized their own way and jumped from an ordinary person to become the most powerful person in the Transcendent Realm."

"Some people also love nature and are obsessed with mountains and rivers every day, but suddenly they have true energy."

"This kind of person breaks the practice rules and enters the Tao in another way. He is a truly amazing person with extraordinary talents and his achievements are limitless."

When Huan Chang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and his breathing became rapid.

He was extremely intelligent. After hearing Xu Wang's words, he recalled the master's request that he had been studying and painting since he was a child, and he also had some speculations in his mind.

"Does the master want me to enter the Tao in another way?"

Xu Wang was very satisfied with Huan Chang's reaction and nodded slightly.

"It's time to tell you our sect now."

Huan Chang was surprised and asked, "Do we have a sect?"

Xu Wang sighed deeply and said, "Although there are sects, I don't know how many people in the world have heard of the name of Shujian Pavilion."

"Shujian Pavilion."

Huan Chang whispered in a low voice, his eyes getting brighter and louder. He understood a little why the master didn't let him practice martial arts anymore.

Xu Wang said in a deep voice: "Although my Shujian Pavilion is small and has a lineage, it was once the best sect in the world, which is awesome to the world."

"Every generation of Shujian Pavilion disciples must enter the Tao with Shujian and walk out of the Tao that is unique to ordinary warriors before they can be qualified to be called the descendants of Shujian Pavilion."

Huan Chang stared at Xu Wang and asked eagerly: "Master, do you want me to enter the Tao with the sword of books?"

Looking at Huan Chang, Xu Wangyouyou said, "Your situation is a bit special. You don't need to practice swords. You can only learn calligraphy and painting. You need to take a unique path."

"This is not only the expectation of your teacher for you, but also the expectation of the ancestors of Shujian Pavilion in all dynasties."

Suddenly, Huan Chang felt his shoulders heavy.
