Chapter 62: Night Martial Arts
Shi Feizhe stayed at the Ma family for several ’s not that Shi Feizhe didn’t want to leave, but the young master of the Ma family tried hard to keep him.
"If the benefactor just leaves like this, wouldn't it make our Ma family seem heartless?"
"You have already stayed one more day, why not stay one more day?"
"Wait a minute, benefactor. This is my family's heirloom, the Five Whips of Transforming Thunder. I'd like to give it to you to repay you for saving my life!"
The young master of the Ma family was indeed enthusiastic about his lifesaver, but they were only a little bit away from death. So he took out the family heirloom "Five Whips of Transforming Thunder", forcing Shi Feizhe to stay for a few more days.
To Shi Feizhe's surprise, after the young master of the Ma family explained the "Five Whips Transforming into Thunder" in detail, Shi Feizhe found that the "Five Whips Transforming into Thunder" was actually quite profound.
Thunder is the pivot of yin and yang!
To practice "Five Whips of Thunder", one needs to visualize a Thunder Emperor who controls the key points of yin and yang, holding a magic whip.
One whip on people, good and evil are rewarded and punished. Two whips on evil, demons retreat. Three whips on disasters, no locusts or plagues. Four whips on the sky, good weather and good harvests. Five whips on the world, peace and tranquility.
Five consecutive whips bring peace to the world! This is a whip method with great ideals and aspirations.
"But, Mr. Ma, I think you haven't reached the level of true cultivation yet!" Shi Feizhe could tell at a glance that the young master of the Ma family had not yet developed true Qi.
"It's quite embarrassing to talk about this. I followed the family manual and my blood and energy have been perfected, but my spirit has never been perfected." The young master of the Ma family said with a bit of shame:
"For several generations, only my father has successfully practiced this family-inherited technique. No one else is allowed to learn it!"
If one cannot achieve spiritual perfection, it means that the deity one is visualizing is in conflict with one's own three views.
Shi Feizhe glanced at him and didn't expect that the head of the Ma family was such a passionate young man when he was young!
How could you, a second-generation kid born in a powerful family, have such passion and ideals?
But he himself was unable to practice, and the Thunder Emperor holding the divine whip always felt very ordinary.
If it were the Monkey King, he would be holding an iron stick.
One stick makes a big fuss in the underworld, two sticks subdue demons and monsters, three sticks fight against gods, four sticks make a big fuss in heaven, and five sticks smash Lingxiao. This is powerful enough!
Since you already understand the principles of martial arts and can apply them to other situations, then making a slight change shouldn't be a big problem.
The magic whip and the iron rod are just different in length. Replace the Thunder Emperor with the Monkey King.
Hmm...very feasible!
This skill cannot be called "Five Whips of Transforming Thunder", it can be called "The Great Sage's Heaven-shaking Stick".
In just half a day, Shi Feizhe deduced (guessing) the details of this martial art based on "Five Whips of Transforming Thunder".
Shi Feizhe had just finished practicing the martial arts and was ready to leave, but the young master of the Ma family forced him to stay for another day, saying that it was getting late and why not leave tomorrow!
Unable to refuse, Shi Feizhe had to stay for another day.
That night, Shi Feizhe suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who?"
"I beg you to teach me martial arts!" A young boy's childish voice came from outside the door.
There are actually people who want to become his apprentice? Shi Feizhe was surprised and pushed open the door. He saw a boy of about thirteen or fourteen kneeling in front of his door, with his head buried very low in the dark.
"Who are you..." Shi Feizhe asked. He had never seen this young man before.
"I am Ma Er, a servant of the Ma family! A few days ago, my benefactor saved me, so I am alive! I wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but the village was busy. Today, the village is not busy, so I came in the middle of the night. Please forgive me, hero."
The young man kowtowed and said with a "dong".
"Why do you want to learn martial arts from me?"
"I also want to be a hero like you, my benefactor, and do justice. I beg you to teach me martial arts!" the young man said again.
For a man who wanted to spread his martial arts skills throughout the world, Shi Feizhe could not refuse a young man who knelt down in the middle of the night to ask him to learn martial arts.
The underworld should not stop a young man’s dream of becoming a hero!
Shi Feizhe took stock of his own martial arts. The boy should not be able to learn the "True Source Sword Finger Technique". If he were to teach the boy the "Sun and Moon Concentric Art", wouldn't that be harmful to him if he couldn't learn it?
The "Five Whips of Transforming Thunder" is the Ma family's inherited martial art, and it would be inappropriate to pass it on to this young man.
Then the only ones left are "Records of the Divine Shadow of Nether Spring", "Twelve-Story Tower" and... "The Monkey King: The Great Sage Strikes Back".
"I beg you to teach me martial arts!" Seeing Shi Feizhe in deep thought, the young man kowtowed again and said.
"Come in with me!" Shi Feizhe pulled the boy up and said.
When he touched the boy, he felt that he was skinny and very thin. He looked at his clothes and saw that they were tattered.
At this moment, Shi Feizhe thought of himself who had just traveled through time. When he entered the house, with the help of candlelight, he saw that the boy had rough skin and a yellowish complexion, and was obviously malnourished.
"Learning martial arts is very hard!" said Shi Feizhe.
"I'm not afraid of hardship!"
"Learning martial arts might make you crazy." Shi Feizhe said again.
"Huh?" The young man was stunned. Learning martial arts could make one go crazy.
"If you force yourself to practice martial arts that you don't understand, you may cause problems for yourself. You may even become disabled..." Shi Feizhe explained to him the risks of learning martial arts.
"Hungry..." The young Ma Er thought about his dream of becoming a hero. He shook his teeth and said firmly, "I'm not afraid! I want to become a hero!"
Shi Feizhe looked at him and said, "I have three martial arts, you can choose one!"
"Which of these three is the best?"
"The Twelve-Storied Tower!"
“Then I’ll learn this!”
"Okay! Just listen carefully!"
Shi Feizhe then taught him "The Twelve-Storied Tower". The more the boy listened, the more confused he became. In the end, he was so anxious that he almost cried.
Someone taught him martial arts, but he couldn't understand!
It's simply despair after hope!
His journey to becoming a hero ended before it even began.
"Do you understand?" Shi Feizhe saw his expression that was about to cry, and continued: "Then you continue to listen to "The Record of the Deep Spring God's Shadow"."
As the boy listened, he suddenly started sobbing, which he didn't quite understand.
Could it be that I am just stupid and cannot learn martial arts?
He fell into deep doubt.
"There's also 'The Monkey King Makes Trouble in Heaven'. Listen carefully!"
This time, the young man heard it very clearly and happily, and he understood this set of stick techniques very thoroughly, especially the visualization of the Monkey King, who was using the iron stick in his hand to smash the palace of the gods.
"Good good!"
"The Great Sage Equaling Heaven! Great! The Great Sage Equaling Heaven!" He couldn't help but applaud.
It turns out he is not the only one in the world who feels this way!
The sky can be broken!
There is nothing that cannot be broken in those high and mighty rules!
There should be nothing in the world that can restrain his soul anymore!
The boy had never felt such joy before, as if someone in the world suddenly understood him.
Shi Feizhe looked at the young man with a face full of joy and satisfaction. He thought that the young man must be so happy because he had acquired martial arts that suited him.
There is one more hero in the world!
"I have just deduced this technique. If you encounter any problems while practicing it in the future, you'd better be careful!" Shi Feizhe said.
“I have no regrets about receiving the martial arts instruction from my master today!” The young man knelt in front of Shi Feizhe again and kowtowed three times in a row, causing his forehead to bleed.
"It is fate that I am passing on my martial arts skills to you today. I am not your master, but you can call me teacher!"
"Thank you, teacher! Thank you, teacher!" the boy said hurriedly.
"Well...if you encounter troubles that you can't solve in the future, you can say that your teacher is a strong hero!" Shi Feizhe thought for a while and said again.
"Thank you, Mr. Fan!"
"When you succeed in your practice in the future, don't forget your original intention today!"
"Yes! Teacher Fan!"
Why does the name Teacher Fan feel weird?
