On the noisy street, in a corner that no one noticed, a faint light curtain invisible to the naked eye, silently, no one noticed that on the street where people came and went, there was suddenly an extra person, a person who did not belong to this world.
After accepting the general plot and tasks of this reincarnation world, at this moment, Jiang Chen is quietly looking at this world, on the streets, there are countless pedestrians, and there are many vendors and shops on both sides, compared to the ancient streets of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is another kind of liveliness.
Between breaths, Jiang Chen only felt that something seemed to be missing in the air, making his fourth-order perfection-level strong internal strength no longer run as smoothly as before. But at the same time, he also clearly felt that his blood was surging more and more.
Compared with the previous reincarnation world in the Southern Song Dynasty, this reincarnation world, with the passage of time, the aura between heaven and earth seems to be weakening, and at the same time, the weakening of the ancient martial arts cultivation method is replaced by a variety of fighting techniques represented by internal boxing and outer boxing, also known as national arts.
What is the national art? What can be used to kill the enemy and serve the country is the national art!
Inner boxing and outer boxing are a kind of national arts, but to be precise, national arts do not refer only to inner boxing and outer boxing.
Guoshu is a cultivation system that arose after the decline of ancient martial arts, and the ancient martial arts based on qi training, the inner fist is practiced strongly, although it is similar, but between strength and qi, there is a world of difference.
The cultivation of ancient martial arts, paying attention to refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, practicing gods to return to the void, refining the void and combining the way, and finally achieving the legendary way of the immortals.
According to the reincarnation world's hierarchical division of the energy of the Condor World, the first, second, and third order martial artists all belong to the stage of refining and refining qi, while the fourth order is in the stage of moving towards the transformation of gods, and this stage is also called innate.
The cultivation of national arts, practiced is strength, can be divided into four realms: bright strength, dark strength, transformation strength, and Dan strength, among them, Dan Jin corresponds to the innate realm of ancient martial arts, as for the so-called bright energy, dark energy, and chemical strength, they are just the tempering and use of their own strength, so even a master of chemical strength may not be able to beat a talented Ming Jin, of course, this is only a few special cases.
Cultivating national arts, only when you reach Danjin, can you truly turn decay into magic, begin to exchange blood and wash the marrow, strengthen the human body, and condense and transform Gang, so as to enter the supreme realm, break the void, and see God.
The main task of this reincarnation is to reach the true inheritance inside and outside and achieve a generation of grandmasters, then, Jiang Chen, who has never been in contact with the real national arts, even if he has a fourth-order perfect ancient martial arts cultivation, he has to learn from scratch, and to learn, he obviously needs a qualified guide, that is: Master!
Although he has a talent for reincarnation and has three chances to obtain the abilities of a plot character, the premise is that he must kill the plot character with his own hands.
Killing people is nothing to Jiang Chen, after all, in the last reincarnation world, there were 120,000 people who died under his hands.
If it was the ancient Jianghu martial arts, Jiang Chen would have killed it a long time ago, and he would have picked a few grandmaster-level figures with high attainments in internal and external boxing to slaughter, and he would naturally be able to get what he wanted. But now, the world is different, the times are different, those masters of national arts, even if they can bully the weak, they will never dare to kill people easily, even if they really kill people, most of them will kill foreign enemies and enemies. Therefore, although Jiang Chen longed for strength, he had no intention of indiscriminately killing and injuring the lives of others.
In this way, Jiang Chen wanted to get the true inheritance of Guoshu and worship a master, which became a choice that he had no choice, fortunately, there was an opportunity in front of him to worship under a master of Guoshu, and it happened to be a Wing Chun grandmaster.
Ip Man, also the main plot character of the reincarnation world, commonly known as the protagonist, Foshan Wing Chun School, under the tutelage of Chen Huashun, is one of the masters of the world's national arts, and his fist cultivation can be called superb, is a master of strength, the whole grandmaster legend, tells the story of his development of Chinese national arts.
Moreover, the most important thing is that because of the domestic war, now Ip Man and his family are moving to Hong Kong, and they are in a time of economic difficulties, so they will open a museum to accept apprentices.
Thinking of this, his gaze swept, and after a while, he landed on a wall, where there were a few small advertisements that seemed to him to be a little simple and rough:
"Carry forward the national arts, strengthen the body, taught by Ip Man's father, authentic Wing Chun boxing, welcome aspirants to sign up. ”
The text is distributed in the corners, and in the middle is a simple brush illustration, with the address of the apprenticeship at the suffix: the rooftop of the staff building of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel.
To be honest, Jiang Chen is naturally in awe of Ip Man, the legendary generation of grandmasters, of course, this awe does not come from force, after all, with his fourth-order consummate ancient martial arts cultivation, even if ten Ip Man are on the same page, they may not be his opponents. What he admires is the other party's character, martial virtue, after all, this is the key to measuring whether a person is worthy of respect.
If he wants to learn the real national arts, if he is unwilling to kill and injure the master of the national arts, apprenticeship is his only choice, but before that, he still needs to prepare something, such as: apprenticeship fee. After all, at this time, Ip Man had not moved his family to Hong Kong for too long, and he was unfamiliar with the place, had no job, no stable financial resources, and had a very difficult life.
Money is not omnipotent, but no money is impossible, you don't see it, even a legendary grandmaster like Ip Man is inevitably vulgar. Not to mention that Jiang Chen, who came from the world of the afterlife, which greatly admired material enjoyment, was incapable before, since he had the ability, why should he treat himself badly?
Although Jiang Chen had no money on hand, fortunately, he ate very well in the last reincarnation world, although most of the money was distributed by him to the poor people, but after all, he had not yet reached the realm of selflessness, so when distributing money, he left some more or less and put it in the watch space, and what he could see and intercept were all precious treasures.
Jade jewelry, still second, is really a treasure, are those precious classics and medicinal materials, not to mention, those precious medicinal materials, even enough to be called a treasure of heaven and earth, among them, just a hundred years, a thousand years of ginseng, there are more than a dozen plants, all of which Jiang Chen came from the homes of those corrupt officials in the Lin'an Imperial City and the Ouchi Palace.
Rather than letting these treasures stay in the imperial city and waste them on the emperor Lao'er and those corrupt officials, it is better to enjoy them yourself, and besides, they may be able to come in handy.
It's just that in this era, he has just experienced a world war and an economic depression, and even if he takes out those rare treasures, he may not be able to sell them for a large price that satisfies him, so after rummaging in the watch space, he still selectively took out some gold. I found a few gold shops and sold them at a relatively reasonable price for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Don't underestimate the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, at this time in Hong Kong, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker may be less than 10 yuan, so the purchasing power of this 100,000 yuan is enough to beat more than 10 million in later generations.
With the money, Jiang Chen changed into suitable clothes, immediately called a rickshaw, promised three times the reward, and went straight to the rooftop of the staff building of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel
