Boom!
The gate of Hu Mansion was closed, and all the apprentices were blasted out and stood in the cold wind.
The arrogant blue-shirted guest had already gotten into the carriage and drove away.
"What should we do now?"
"Could it be that we can't practice ruling spirit kung fu in the future?"
"Without Mr. Hu's teaching, are we still cultivating martial arts?!"
Everyone gathered together in twos and threes to discuss, and the sudden change made everyone upset and at a loss.
"Everyone, how about we all kneel down and stay at the door until Old Man Hu comes out?"
Suddenly, someone suggested.
"Okay, kneel until Old Man Hu promises to pass on kung fu to us!" Someone immediately agreed.
Then, the gate of Hu Mansion knelt together.
Xun Xie pondered for a while and found Si Luoyan. After Di Renjie and the others discussed it for a while, they turned around and left.
Seeing this, Xun Xie also turned around and left, returned to Song Mansion, and found Mr. Song.
"Something happened to Mr. Hu?"
Mr. Song's tone was very light as if he had expected it.
Xun Xie explained the situation.
After listening, Mr. Song sighed softly: "If the food escort fails, someone will naturally be held responsible. This time, it, unfortunately, fell on Mr. Hu’s head."
Xun Xie's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Old Hu has been deprived of the title of 'teacher', so he can no longer teach his skills, right?"
Mr. Song nodded: "Yes, this is a rule set by the 'Heiyun' family, and no one can violate it."
Xun Xie couldn't help but ask, "Who is this Black Cloud family?"
Mr. Song was silent, "Some things should have been told to you by Mr. Hu. As long as the time comes, he will definitely tell you all of it. But now, Mr. Hu has cut off relations with you, so let me tell you. "
He asked Xun Xie to take down a locked black box on the shelf.
In the study, Xun Xie can read books at will, but there are a few things that cannot be touched, such as this black box.
Mr. Song had the key on his waist, Xun Xie took it off and opened the lock.
The black box opened, and a long scroll came into view,
Xun Xie opened the scroll and saw that it was a map.
On the map, mountains, rivers, forests…
In the most striking image at the center, a giant city is depicted, and several areas radiate out from the periphery like the edges of an irregular cloud.
Mr. Song looked at the map and said: "That giant city is Black Cloud City, this large area is owned by the Black Cloud family, including you and me, it is all within the territory of the Hei Yun family, and you must obey the Heiyun family. The rules are set by the Yun family."
Xun Xie looked at the map, and soon found a town south of Hei Yun City, marked "Blue Grain Town", and continued, "We are here."
Mr. Song nodded and said, "Yes, this fertile plain in the south of Hei Yun City is actually one of the 'six granaries' of the Hei Yun family. The people in Blue Grain Town are all growing grain for the Hei Yun family."
Xun Xie suddenly asked, "Who are the four major teachers?"
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
Mr. Song: "The four major teachers are members of the Hei Yun family. Their task is to protect this granary, protect the grain-growing people in the town, and safely escort the grain to Hei Yun City. Simply put, the four teachers' sole existence is for food."
The stakes were finally clarified, and Xun Xie couldn't help but said, "Since the teacher is from the Hei Yun family, it can be taken away, and it should be able to be restored, right?"
Mr. Song nodded lightly, "You are right to think so. But for Mr. Hu, there is little hope. Alas, he is not young anymore, and his strength has declined too much. Otherwise, Hu, at his peak performance, was very powerful and many feared going into battle with him. That old man can completely settle this by himself.”
Mr. Song sighed, "When someone gets old, there will be someone new to replace him. I believe it won't be long before a new coach will come to replace Mr. Hu. If the coach is replaced by another person, it will not have much impact on the people of Blue Grain Town. The ones who are most affected are of course Elder Hu's apprentices, such as you."
Xun Xie smiled bitterly: "Do I have to change my current martial lineage and learn the arts again?"
"It's not that simple."
Mr. Song shook his head, "If you don't break through the blood strength, you won't lose much if you change the door (lineage). It's nothing more than changing a teacher or a different style of martial arts practice. But you've already broken through the blood strength and alienated your blood..."
Xun Xie was startled and wondered, "What will happen if I do?"
Mr. Song didn’t answer and instead asked, "Before breaking through the blood force, do you have to take a wax pill every day?"
Xun Xie: "Yes, Mr. Hu said, that's the secret medicine for the practice of ruling spirits."
"Then do you know what the so-called secret medicine is?" Mr. Song looked at Xun Xie.
Xun Xie shook his head.
Such a secret, Old Man Hu didn't tell anyone.
Mr. Song sighed: "The secret medicine is actually beast blood! It is made from the blood essence of strange beasts and some medicinal materials!"
"The essence blood of strange beasts..."
Xun Xie was surprised, "You mean, I refined the blood essence of the strange beast into my body, right?"
Mr. Song nodded: "The strength of human beings is too weak, but the power of strange beasts is astronomical, so some people thought of taking the power of alien beasts and using them for their own use, so they developed a method to refine animal blood and strengthen blood strength. This is the practice method. There are other methods, but these are the most common and widespread."
This is the truth of martial arts!
Xun Xie was stunned: "Could it be that all martial arts everywhere in the world are like this, or is it just in Blue Grain Town or the area of Hei Yun?"
Mr. Song: "Yes, it is like this in all martial arts in the world. Refining the blood of strange beasts is actually the first method of the ancients, the other methods are said to have been made by powerhouses of this method who seeked another path or inferred it from their path.
The ruling spirit skill you practice is a martial art created by imitating the 'Ruling Spirit Monarch Tiger'. The secret medicine you refine is actually the blood of the Ruling Spirit Monarch Tiger, and the five moves you practiced, yes I’ve seen your little tricks although you aimed to hide it, think about it carefully, doesn't it look like a tiger?"
After being reminded by Mr. Song, Xun Xie was shocked by the powerful electricity, and said “It really is so."
It was a double shock that he had been seen through, although he wasn’t exactly super secretive and merely took precautions, even the maids had heard him howling but even so, how did Mr Song know he had succeeded? As expected, scholars have sharp minds and eyes, he must have slipped up somehow being at ease here.
Mr. Song didn’t dwell on this and continued: "You have broken through the blood force, which means that you have refined the blood of the ruling spirit monarch tiger. At this time, if you practice other martial arts, you will inevitably refine the blood of another strange beast.
The essence and blood of the two different alien beasts are mixed in the body, which cannot be said to cause endless troubles, but it is also extremely troublesome. For example, the speed at which you accumulate blood will be very slow.
Generally speaking, those who practice one kind of martial art are called pure-blood warriors, and those who practice two or even more martial arts are called mixed-blood warriors. Pure blood warriors can overwhelm mixed blood warriors in all aspects. "
Speaking of this, Mr. Song mentioned: "Old Hu must have reminded you that the meat of foreign animals must be cooked before eating. In fact, this is to prevent you from accidentally ingesting the blood essence of other beasts, which will lead to impure blood."
Xun Xie's face was ugly for a while: "In this case, I can't easily change martial arts."
Mr. Song thought for a while, and then said, "You are still young, and the blood energy in your body is not particularly strong. Even if you practice other martial arts, the impact will be there, but it should not be particularly severe."
Xun Xie's mood didn't improve because of this.
Mr. Song’s eyes flashed as he watched him leave. The Ruling Spirit Monarch Tiger was a rare and powerful ancient beast, seen by the ‘Monarch’ in its name, even he didn’t fully understand it but a lineage that refined the blood of a beast capable of attacking the soul and still being powerful in the body was naturally not simple.
It’s a pity.
If their lineage had a complete inheritance, then such an heir like Xun Xie who could comprehend the esoteric fifth move that touched the spirit would bring it to new heights.
But without the true inheritance, perhaps it was really best to switch based on his potential. In the end, this would all be his decision; it was his own path after all, and where to go was his choice.
The next day, Xun Xie came to Hu Mansion as usual, but the gate of Hu Mansion was closed, and a sign refusing to receive guests hung in front of the door.
It was still the same on the third day.
On the fourth day, Blue Grain Town suddenly became lively, and a new teacher came...
