Chapter 277 Europas Martial Arts (4.1k)(1/2)
Three poles in the sun.
Qin Xuanji took Cao Jinxing to the pier and prepared to board the ship to Zhenshou Island.
This is the only place on Kiryu Island open to the public. The fog is slightly sparse and there are many merchant ships parked on the sea, all coming to Kiryu Island for trade.
The passengers on the ship have different appearances, including Central Plains people, Nanyang people, Frankies... many of them can be identified as "not my race" at a glance.
There are many businesses operating on Wuliu Island, including selling fish, pearls and "green heads".
The islanders of Wuliu Island are good at fishing, pearl hunting, and even better at raising clams. Although the pearls produced are not as brilliant and rich as the pearls in the Fang family's secret place "Wanzhu Cave", the blue light is faint, as if
Yuehua has a mysterious and magnificent beauty, which is loved by various forces. Every year, merchant ships come to buy it at no expense.
"Second Miss."
"Second Miss."
…
As Qin Xuanji walked along, the vendors on both sides saluted respectfully.
The Qin family taught the islanders how to make a living. It is all because of the Qin family that Wuliu Island has developed to the extent it is today, and the islanders are all grateful.
Qin Xuanji nodded in return, held Cao Jinxing by one arm, and slowly came to the center of the pier.
Cao Jinxing noticed that in addition to selling fish and beads, the vendors also sold porcelain, weapons, and even low-grade martial arts secrets.
"What's this……"
Cao Jinxing became interested. Is there such a workshop on the island? Look at the porcelain and weapons, and they don't look like new ones.
"This is something salvaged from a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea. We call it 'Qingtou' here."
Qin Xuanji explained: "The weather at sea is changeable, storms and fog occur from time to time, and many merchant ships capsize and run aground because of this. There is no shortage of treasures on board. There are porcelain, weapons, spices, wood, glassware and other ordinary treasures, as well as
Treasures from heaven and earth, martial arts secrets...
There are masters on the island who specialize in Qigong. They can hold their breath for several hours in the deep sea. Just to salvage these sunken treasures, my family has trained a group of people... It seems that I haven't seen it since I came back. I guess something is wrong... By the way, you
The ink cube that was opened yesterday was fished out of the sunken ship."
"I see……"
Cao Jinxing suddenly said: "This bowl of rice doesn't taste good. There are many sea beasts in the sea. Most people don't know your "Secret Technique of Driving the Sea", so salvaging may not be easy."
"Indeed it is."
Qin Xuanji sighed and said: "But... it's not that we don't want to teach. The key to the "Secret Technique of Driving the Sea" is the 'medicine blood'. It requires soaking thousands of poisons and medicines from an early age, many of which are fourth-grade treasures.
It's so rare that it's impossible for everyone to practice it... And dad said that the secret technique of driving the sea is too overbearing, and using it too much will harm the world. If fishermen know this secret technique and don't exercise restraint, sooner or later the rare beasts will become extinct.
, this is a huge sin.”
"really."
Cao Jinxing nodded and said with sincere admiration: "Master Qin Island is far-sighted. Fortunately, this technique is in your hands. If it had been for money, all the strange beasts in the East China Sea would have been wiped out."
Qin Xuanji's eyebrows were curved, and she was very happy to hear it, and said: "There is a kind of people who don't know the "Secret Technique of Driving the Sea" and are not afraid of sea beasts. They can breathe underwater, and their swimming speed and water fighting are better than those on the shore."
"oh?"
Cao Jinxing asked curiously: "Who is it?"
"Shark man."
Qin Xuanji said: "The sharks are remnants of ancient times. It is said that they have the blood of Gonggong and can swim unimpeded in the sea. However, it is just a legend. Dad said that he has seen a real shark once, so we are not so lucky...
Here we are, this is one of my three main ships, [Caiying]."
The two came to a large ship made of sea willow wood, and saw a very beautiful hawk with spread wings on the bow of the ship.
The gangway mechanism is triggered and slowly extends to the ground.
"Second Miss."
A European with blond hair and blue eyes, holding a harp, who was in his forties, bowed slightly and had a very respectful attitude stepped out of the boat.
Cao Jinxing was a little surprised that there was actually a foreign captain in the Qin family's merchant ship. Qin Zhaonan's mind was really extraordinary.
Qin Xuanji introduced the two of them, and Cao Jinxing also learned that the captain's name was Raymond. He was originally a ship doctor in the Balkans. Fifteen years ago, when he sailed to the East China Sea with Frankie's fleet, the merchant ship he was on was attacked by a sea monster.
He was the only one left alive on the ship after being attacked and sank. He was rescued to Wuliu Island by Qin Zhaonan, and later became Qin Xuanque, Qin Xuanji's foreign language teacher.
After the two of them completed their studies, he became the captain of the Caiying due to his good sailing skills and kind-hearted character, responsible for escorting cargo between the islands.
This time I will take his boat to the Treasure Island.
The Sky-Swallowing Whale needs to stay on Kiryu Island, while the Ushiki hides on the bottom of the sea and follows along.
As for why he didn't take Duan Munan's boat... he had already said it. Qin Xuanji hated staying with him, and Cao Jinxing was not interested either.
Anyway, the poison has been administered...
The two get on the boat.
Regulus followed closely beside Cao Jinxing and looked around. Raymond seemed to like animals very much. He took out a pack of fried dried fish from his pocket and handed it to him. Regulus looked at Cao Jinxing. Cao Jinxing nodded.
Fourteen smelled it, confirmed that it was not poisonous, and went up to the deck with the small bag in his mouth.
"sail!"
Raymond gave an order, and the sailors began to rock the oars, with him controlling the rudder. The Caiying followed Duan Munan's ship in front and slowly sailed towards the Treasure Island.
"Captain Raymond has been working at my house for fifteen years. He has been working hard during these fifteen years and is not a bad person."
Qin Xuanji whispered: "Besides, what he is responsible for is not the core business. If he is not of my race, his heart must be different. Although dad has given him a future, he is always on guard against him. It will be okay."
"Um."
Cao Jinxing nodded and looked at Raymond.
Raymond was taciturn and concentrated on maneuvering the boat. Cao Jinxing felt carefully and found that he had a special energy that seemed to be similar to his internal strength.
"Huh?"
This was the first time Cao Jinxing came into contact with overseas "martial arts". He found it very interesting and murmured to himself: "This doesn't seem to be true qi, it's a bit rough, more like the 'jing qi' formed by the manifestation of vitality. It's a bit interesting...
"
Cao Jinxing thought in his mind, and a ball of milky white energy slowly appeared in his palm.
Raymond sensed it and turned his head suddenly, looking at him in disbelief: "Mr. Cao...you, why do you use 'vitality' (Latin: ur)?"
"Oh? Is this your power?"
Cao Jinxing's words were also in Latin. Raymond was even more surprised after hearing this. He looked at Qin Xuanji with wide eyes and forgot to steer the boat for a moment.
Qin Xuanji chuckled: "Jinxing's learning ability is more terrifying than that of me and eldest sister. Captain Raymond doesn't need to be surprised."
Raymond was full of surprise. Without saying a word, he called the second mate to steer the boat. Then he walked towards Cao Jinxing and exclaimed: "It's incredible! Mr. Cao can use vitality without 'baptism'. If the people of the Inquisition know about it,
, I’m afraid it will cause trouble. Mr. Cao would be better off not using this power in front of other people.”
"Inquisition?"
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows, and the ball of energy in his hand dissipated. Only then did Raymond look away and briefly talked about the origin of the power of "vital energy".
Everything in the world never changes from its origin.
The existence of "ur" in Europe is similar to the vitality of the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty, but it is paradoxical. It was discovered and promoted by the ancient Greek sage Aristotle, and became available to Europeans after his disciple Alexander the Great reformed the "meditation method"
an extraordinary power.
Aristotle believed that all creatures with souls flow this vitality, but it can only be used after it is opened or activated. This means that even if ordinary people have vitality resources, they may not be able to use it in their lifetime.
Different creatures have different amounts of vitality and different attributes due to their own characteristics, which can be roughly divided into four categories: earth, water, wind, and fire.
Cultivation is an idealistic exercise.
Because the cultivation systems are different, the exploration of power is also different. As time goes by, the methods of opening up or activating the vitality are monopolized by religions and nobles. Now Little Franky (Spain) is getting stronger and stronger, gradually becoming the first generation empire on which the sun never sets.
Go forward, what assists the king in running this huge empire is religion and the Inquisition!
In Raymond's understanding, only those who believe in God, and only God's servants "bishops" and "knights" can help others regain their strength, but Mr. Cao, who is in a foreign country and does not understand God, can actually...
If the people in the tribunal knew about this, trouble would definitely arise!
"It's not that troublesome."
Cao Jinxing smiled faintly, looked at his palms and said: "It's just the embodiment of the spirit. The goal of our cultivation is to unite heaven and man, to seize the eight qi from the outside world, and live as long as heaven; you are to strengthen your body, dig deep into your soul, and focus on
Understanding the power of the spirit is more elusive, but it is also unique...
Zhongyuan Zhenqi can use various martial arts, but your 'ur' is born and manifested by the spiritual soul. Everyone is different, and I am afraid they are all unique... Haha, isn't this a superpower? Is it possible?
Sewn."
The last sentence is inaudible.
Cao Jinxing shook his head and laughed.
It’s a credit to those gangsters who planned to find a way out for foreigners in the world of high martial arts. Otherwise, China would be too strong, both a mythical beast and a divine man, and I am afraid that it would have been able to unify the world during the time of the First Emperor.
"Mr. Cao! You..."
