Chapter 29 029 [Looking at each other across the shore]

Lu Chen considered becoming a disciple - the other party came all the way to teach him the skills, which could be said to have given the Lu family face, and he could treat him politely.

Although this was due to the friendship back then, the Seven Stars Gang is now the leader of the Green Forest in the North, and Lin Jie is the No. 1 martial artist in the world. The Lu family is just a mere businessman in Huaizhou, and the status gap between the two is as big as clouds and mud.

Not to mention that Lin Jie returned the relationship nine years ago, and now he has sent his own daughter to teach her martial arts. This is something that must be treated seriously.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Tong vetoed his idea in a rare and direct manner: "Miss Lin was born in the same year and month as you, only three days earlier than you. If you become your teacher, wouldn't you be mocking her for being old? Besides, she is teaching on behalf of her father, so if you really want to become a master, you should also become a disciple of Lin Jie, at most she will be your senior sister."

So when they met again the next day, Lu Chen took the initiative to salute and said, "Lu Chen has met senior sister."

"Uh?"

Lin Xi blinked and looked at him somewhat inexplicably.

Lu Chen asked: "Is it inappropriate to call it this way?"

Lin Xi thought for a while and said seriously: "My father did not accept you as his disciple. However, you can also call me that."

Lu Chen finally realized that the young woman in front of him had little experience in dealing with strangers.

This deepened his suspicion yesterday. Lin Xi looked more like an introverted lady, not the kind of heroine who travels around the country and is bright and cheerful.

"Junior Brother Lu, please sit down."

After accepting the settings given by Lu Chen, Lin Xi quickly entered the state.

She first asked Lu Chen about his martial arts experience over the years, and when she learned that he had forgotten the past after getting sick, she explained calmly: "My father already trained you on your foundation nine years ago, and taught you the ancestral keeping skills of the Lin family. .Although Shou Zheng Jue is just a basic introductory skill, it is also an excellent Qi training method. You have practiced it solidly over the years. Even if you seem to have forgotten it, your body will instinctively exhale and regulate your breath."

Lu Chen said honestly: "But I can't feel the presence of Qi."

Lin Xi said: "Qi exists in your body, and you will naturally use it when you need it."

Lu Chen felt that he understood, but also seemed not to understand.

Lin Xi was obviously not an experienced master. She did not see Lu Chen's confusion and continued: "I came to Guangling this time mainly to teach you the Shangxuan Sutra taught by my father. After you understand it, you can use it to Qi turns into internal energy that can be clearly felt. Whether you can master internal energy is the dividing line between ordinary martial arts warriors and masters in the world."

Lu Chen was stunned, and then asked: "Is it enough to just learn to read the Xuan Jing?"

Lin Xi said bluntly: "Generally speaking, people who practice martial arts will only choose one internal skill, so as not to bite off more than they can chew or risk conflict with each other."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Senior sister, I misunderstood, I mean whether there is... By the way, is there any external power?"

Lin Xi nodded slightly and said, "Yes. After you have basically mastered the Mysterious Sutra, I will teach you one body technique, one boxing technique, and one sword technique each."

Lu Chen cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

"No need to be polite." Lin Xi listened attentively, and after confirming that there was no third pair of ears around, he said solemnly: "Now I will teach you the Shangxuan Sutra. I hope that Junior Brother Lu can remember it carefully, and without my father's permission, no one can Tell others about this skill."

When Lu Chen once listened to Li Chengen talk about the 30 people on the martial arts list, Lu Chen only regarded it as anecdotes.

It's not like he hasn't seen masters before. Li Cheng'en slashed Bei Yan with a knife and left Bei Yan in a panic, and Su Yun Qingfeng and Qingyun killed two people in a flash. These were enough to make him understand that there are indeed martial arts in this world that exceed the limits of the human body.

But perhaps because the first impression was too vivid, he was never able to connect the woman in front of him with a top expert.

Until this moment, Lin Xi's momentum changed slightly after saying those words, and he became a little more arrogant besides his silence.

Lu Chen calmed down, nodded and said, "Sister, please tell me."

Lin Xi then slowed down his speech and said: "The master of the mysterious way, what you get is inside, what you keep is outside, what you use is the spirit, and what you forget is the weapon. Riding on the stream of light, driving the flying scenery, gliding the six voids, penetrating and melting. Beyond nothingness Above, there is no bottom. Pass through the sweaty gate, and swim in the wild wilderness. In a carefree and trance, wander around as if on the surface. Swallow nine flowers in the clouds, chew six breaths in the red clouds. Wander in the confusion and soar Xiwei, the steps are slightly winding, and the steps are staggering, this is the one who has achieved it."

Lu Chen concentrated on it and wrote down every word.

Lin Xi looked at him quietly.

To be fair, she was not willing to make this trip, but her father was very determined and repeatedly stated that the food sent by the Lu family had saved countless young and old in the gang. This kind of kindness could not be repaid with just a volume of basic exercises. Even that It is a secret of the Lin family that is not passed down, and it is regarded as a first-class qi training method in the world.

The reason for her reluctance was not that she was afraid of the dangers of this trip, or that the young master of the Lu family was some kind of libertine who was difficult to get along with. Although not many animals and scum died in her hands, they were all from the North. For a resounding name.

What she was worried about was that Lu Chen didn't have the talent in this area and couldn't even understand the general outline of the Xuan Jing, which would take too long.

For her, and even for the entire Seven Star Gang, time is precious and cannot be wasted.

She travels around the world in the name of Bodhisattva Man, not just to kill evil people like Li Xuanan, but also to use this identity to open up a new relationship network and add support to the plans of the Seven Star Gang and her father.

While she was meditating, Lu Chen had already memorized the passage just now skillfully, and then said: "Senior sister, I would like to ask you to clarify my doubts." Memorizing is only the first step. What is the mystery behind this passage and how to practice it? He was still confused at the moment.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi shook his head and said: "Junior Brother Lu, don't worry, we just gave you the general outline of the Mysterious Sutra, and then I will teach you to memorize the first short section."

"what?"

Lu Chen seemed to have returned to his previous life when he was five or six years old. He had become a kindergarten kid sitting in a row waiting for Guoguo. Opposite him was a patient teacher who was very patient.

Lin Xi saw this and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen considered it and said, "Senior sister, maybe we can use a more efficient way?"

Lin Xi motioned for him to continue.

Lu Chen then said: "Senior sister, you can write down the original text of the Shangxuan Sutra, and then I will memorize it from beginning to end. I know the rules in the world, and I will burn the paper after memorizing it."

Lin Xi hesitated a little, but finally nodded and said, "That's fine."

The two came to the big case by the window. Lu Chen took the initiative to study ink. Lin Xi took a brush from the pen holder, spread out the white paper and started writing slowly.

This house is quite quiet and elegant, and Lu Tong obviously put a lot of thought into it.The servants and maids all live in the front yard and will not disturb Lin Xi except for necessary requests.

There was no sound around at this moment, only the breeze rustling through the branches and leaves, and a few insects and birds chirping.

The late spring sunlight refracts in through the window lattice, outlining lines of light and shadow on the tabletop.

In the quiet room, there was the occasional sound of paper being moved, and the atmosphere was particularly peaceful.

Lu Chen stood aside to avoid interference, and for a moment his eyes fell on Lin Xi's soft and curved profile.

He suddenly noticed that her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, as if her heart was not as calm as she showed. Just when he was secretly surprised, he moved his eyes and discovered the answer.

On the snow-white paper, one word after another is showing its complete shape.

Lu Chen didn't know calligraphy, and he only relied on the muscle memory left by the original owner to write. His handwriting barely met the minimum standards of literati in this era.

But compared with Lin Xi, his handwriting seemed to have risen to several levels in an instant.

Lin Xi writes very seriously, and the font is not ugly at all, but it is too serious. Every stroke is as if carved with a sword, and when combined together it looks very childish.

Lu Chen seemed to have been promoted from kindergarten to elementary school and saw his deskmate practicing calligraphy.

Although the scene was amusing, he didn't make any inappropriate noises.

After Lin Xi finished writing the last word, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and saw Lu Chen looking at the paper with an indifferent expression.

There was a hint of shame in her heart, but her expression did not change. She said frankly: "I have not had much interest in reading and writing since I was a child, which made Junior Brother Lu laugh."

Lu Chen's eyes swept over her hands, and he nodded and said: "Senior sister's talent is in martial arts, so there is no need to waste time in other areas. For most people, literacy is a must, but good calligraphy is not. .”

Seeing that he was not praising her against his will, Lin Xi's expression softened a bit. She stood up and handed a stack of paper to Lu Chen and said, "Junior brother Lu, please memorize the full text of the Shangxuan Sutra first, and then slowly understand it."

Lu Chen estimated that this Shangxuan Sutra had at least a thousand words. It would not be difficult to memorize it, but how to understand it?
He was not self-righteous and took the initiative to seek explanation: "May I ask Senior Sister, where should I start to gain this understanding?"

Lin Xi said: "The more you read it, the more you will understand its mystery."

Lu Chen was startled for a moment, then sighed: "Senior sister's words... make sense."

He could guarantee that if Lin Xi started teaching classes, he would definitely not be a qualified teacher.

Lin Xi was not a blank slate, and he soon realized that everyone has different understanding abilities. For example, among his father's direct disciples, no one could basically comprehend the Shangxuan Sutra like he did in just three months. .

She remembered her previous worries and took the initiative: "If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

"Thank you, senior sister." Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then walked aside and started chanting silently.

Lin Xi stared at his engrossed expression and couldn't help but curl her lips with a slight arc.

It seemed to go much smoother than I expected.
