Chapter 4: Killing is the weapon, and the master of weapons! quiet! Li Yuan exhaled a breath of foul air, his heart in his throat, feeling uneasy. Is it effective? Could it be that the ancestors knew that I had not read through all the scriptures? Give me some reaction! After a few breaths, when Li Yuan felt that his sweat was about to drip, he suddenly heard an extremely piercing sound in his ears. This sound was very much like a ship's whistle, but countless times louder than that. The moment he heard this sound, Li Yuan could no longer feel his own existence. hum~ hum~ hum~ …… The voice rang in his ears one after another, and Li Yuan felt that his eyes were dark, but he seemed to be able to feel something vaguely. It was as if an extremely huge giant was whispering to me, telling me something, waiting for my response, and even seemed to be angry because there was no response? ! but…… "I can't hear you! I really can't hear you..." Li Yuan tried desperately to hear the sound clearly, but he just felt like a lonely boat in the storm, about to capsize at any time.
hum~ I don’t know how long it took, but when Li Yuan’s spirit began to disperse, the huge voice finally dissipated. He opened his eyes in a daze, and felt that there were countless colors surging violently around him, making people want to vomit at the first sight. But in just a flash, all the colors had faded away. Li Yuan looked around in a daze, as if he had fallen into the void. wrong! He lowered his head suddenly. Under him, there was a painting that he could not see clearly and seemed to be endless! This is…… "Lian?!" When this thought came to his mind, Li Yuan watched in shock as the void collapsed and shrank, and as the endless ancient painting rolled back and wrapped him up inside. boom! Li Yuan heard the dishes and chopsticks fall to the ground and his second brother's scream, and then he lost consciousness. "Uh~" I don’t know how long it took, but Li Yuan woke up slowly. He felt a severe pain in his head as if it had exploded, and he couldn’t help but groan. "Old Third, you, what's wrong with you?" Li Lin sat in front of the bed, his face full of tension. "No, brother, I'm fine..." Li Yuan propped himself up on the bed and sat up. His eyes were still a little dazed and his ears were ringing severely. After a while, he finally saw his second brother. And the woman leaning against the wooden door with her hands on her hips. The woman was in her early twenties. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she was still quite pretty. But at this moment, she was staring at him with displeasure on her face. She was the wife chosen by my second brother when he was young... "sister in law?"
Li Yuan stood up with the help of his second brother. He could see that his sister-in-law was unhappy, and as he had something on his mind, he left the half pound of pork he had bought and left the alley despite Li Lin's attempts to persuade him to stay. "call!" Outside the alley, Li Yuan held the wall with one hand and held the three taels of silver that his second brother had stuffed into his arms with the other hand, with a complicated expression. In my ears, I could vaguely hear the sharp voice of my second sister-in-law: "You are the only one who has human feelings? You only make six cents of silver a month in the Chai Gang. Without my help, the debt collectors would have thrown you brothers into the Clear Water Lake long ago..." "Did my second brother borrow the money to get into the weapon forging shop? How much did he borrow?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth, but did not turn back to intensify the conflict between his brother and sister-in-law. He closed his eyes and saw the talisman with complex patterns again, and this time, he sensed more. "The military talisman!" Rituals really work! But I didn’t go back. Is it impossible to go back? Surprise and bitterness surged in Li Yuan's heart at the same time. He was even a little scared. Was this ritual so dangerous? Did I die in this ceremony in my previous life? "The military talisman!" After a while, Li Yuan suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and began to sense this "talisman bestowed by heaven". He even vaguely understood the loud noises he heard and the colors he saw after the previous ceremony. Was it this talisman that was changing its way of communicating with him, and finally, in a way that he could understand, it turned into the talisman that he saw now? Li Yuan had some understanding. but…… "I still don't understand..." Li Yuan, a wild Taoist priest who was good at martial arts, felt a little ashamed. He was not well-trained, did not know any classics, and had no knowledge of talismans. hum~ As if sensing his thoughts, Li Yuan heard another loud noise, but it was not as frightening as he was. When he sensed it again, he was dumbfounded. [The first ordination: the military ordination]! [First-level military leader, Li Yuan] [Number of soldiers that can be defended: 1] …… 我# Are the ancestors so trendy?! Li Yuan was shocked. Compared to the loud noise and talismans before, what I saw before my eyes was more than simple and clear? ! "First-rank Arms Master? If you offer a thousand pounds of raw iron, a hundred ounces of silver, and one ounce of gold, you can be promoted to the second-rank Arms Master?" Li Yuan closed his eyes and felt the stars moving. After a moment of trance, he found himself in a dark and unknown space. At this moment, he was standing on a small gray platform that was just big enough for him to stand on. Everything around him was gray, strange and dangerous.
Above his head, the huge palm weapon scroll looked like a dim star map. At this moment, only one star is lit on the map. Looking at this talisman, a lot of information emerged in Li Yuan's mind, as if the memory that he had learned before and then forgot suddenly came back to him. "War is the way of life and death!" "If you use it, you can act; if you discard it, you can hide it. Those who wield it are invincible; those who hold it are powerful!" "Anyone who can command a weapon can control it!" …… "weapon!" When he opened his eyes again, Li Yuan's fingers were trembling, and he forced himself not to snatch weapons from passers-by. He lowered his head and looked at his palm. In the palm of his hand was the weapon talisman that had been shrunk countless times and was dazzling at a glance. He had never had such an urgent urge to pick up a knife or a sword, but he could only restrain himself. "Even a sword of the worst quality costs one tael of silver. I am poor..." With his fists clenched tightly, Li Yuan merged into the crowd. Although he wanted to familiarize himself with the weapon-controlling talisman first, as it was getting dark, he had no choice but to return to the weapon-forging shop. It would be a big loss to have one day off deducted for being late. "What a strong reaction! The Weapon Forge is indeed the best place for me!" After walking through the streets and alleys and finally arriving at the forging shop, Li Yuan still found it difficult to suppress the restlessness in his heart. After taking a day off, he stood in front of the door again, but his mood was very different. “Is this the confidence?” Li Yuan pondered the changes in his mentality, and felt that the originally dark road ahead seemed to be torn into a big hole, and light shone in. "Be careful..." Reminding himself in his heart, Li Yuan returned to the weapon forging shop, but his eyes kept glancing at the shop and the connected forging rooms from time to time. How many weapons must the Weapon Forge, a time-honored brand with more than two hundred years of history, have accumulated? Feeling the vibration of the Weapon Control Scroll, Li Yuan's heart was burning. …… …… Passing through the front yard, there were already many apprentices standing in the martial arts field in front of the middle yard. The diligent Niu Gui was not there, and it was obvious that the work in the middle yard had not been completed yet. Li Yuan glanced around a few times, and naturally had no intention of returning to the central courtyard. His peripheral vision had already landed on the wooden-handled hammers piled at the edge of the martial arts field. "A hammer, that's fine too, right?" Li Yuan couldn't be sure, because the throbbing coming from the Weapon Control Scroll had never stopped along the way. "Master Qin!"
Li Yuan was distracted for a moment when he heard muffled footsteps behind him. The apprentices in the front yard followed Qin Xiong to the martial arts field, and the apprentices from the other yards also gathered there one after another. Without being told, all the apprentices stood still, not daring to make the slightest sound. "The White Ape Cloak Hammer has two parts, the inner and outer parts. The inner part is the pile, and the outer part is the hammer! Among them, there are three combinations inside and three combinations outside. If the six combinations are both inside and outside, then it can be accomplished!" Qin Xiong strode as fast as the wind and arrived in front of everyone. Li Yuan only felt a flash before his eyes, and Qin Xiong's big hand like a palm-leaf fan fell on the shoulder of Niu Gui who was standing on the far left. pat! Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble his eyelids for a moment, as if a vicious bear stood up and hit him hard. "what!" Niu Gui let out a scream. With just one slap, Niu Gui's legs bounced apart, and his hips made a 'cracking' sound that made people's teeth ache. "If you don't have steady feet, you can't hit the iron...you can't hit people hard!" Qin Xiong's big hands were like fiddling with straw, and he put Niu Gui in a position like a giant ape with its arms hanging down. The latter's face turned red and his teeth were bared. "This is the White Ape Stake!" All the apprentices went to watch and each of them imitated the movements. Qin Xiong took a step forward, and his big hands, like a palm-leaf fan, nodded from time to time like a weeping willow. "Tighten your thighs!" "Relax your shoulders and arms! Are you dead?!" "Have you never seen a monkey before? Don't just stand there, move your eyes and ears too!" …… "Power comes from the ground, your feet should be heavy, your body should be like a monkey, and your body should be relaxed! White Ape Posture is the basics. If you can't even stand steadily, don't even think about learning Cloak Hammer!" Qin Xiong strides like the wind, shuttling between dozens of apprentices, very fast and flexible. Every apprentice was slapped. "This strength..." Li Yuan was also hit and almost lost consciousness, and nearly fell to the ground. "The White Ape Cloak Hammer is the fundamental martial arts that has been passed down in my weapon forging shop for two hundred years. It is divided into four levels: entry level, mastery, minor accomplishment, and major accomplishment!" "If you want to enter the inner courtyard, you must practice this martial art to the first level before the end of the year and enter the door!" Qin Xiong's voice was so loud that even Li Yuan, who was standing at the edge, felt it was deafening. "Lift the hammer and stand still!"
Li Yuan's ears were buzzing, but he also heard the words "lift the hammer", which made him tremble slightly. Soon, an iron hammer was handed to him by an apprentice in the middle courtyard, and a hint of gray appeared in front of his eyes. [Eight-jin training hammer (not included)] [This is the training hammer used by the apprentices of the Blacksmith Shop to practice the White Ape Cloak Hammer. It is stained with the blood and tears of hundreds of apprentices...] [Control conditions: None] [Control Effect: Mastery of Cloak Hammer Technique! ] (End of this chapter)
