Chapter 27: Giving a Man a Fish is worse than Giving a Man a Fish
Chapter 27 It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish
"Chonglou Xuanjin" is a body-building exercise, similar to Buddhism's Hunyuan Iron Body Exercise, but it comes from Taoism.
"Hey, Taoism also has body-building techniques?"
Only then did Wei An realize that there were errors or deviations in the information Wan Yunhe told him.
Although the Taoist sect focuses on cultivating one's moral character and specializes in external skills, that does not mean that the Taoist sect does not have physical training methods.
Some people say that Buddhism is not Taoism, and that Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are not the same family. It seems that this is not true at all.
"Treasure Gourd Sleeping Kung Fu" is also a Taoist Kung Fu, and it is also a health-preserving external Kung Fu. The effect of practicing this Kung Fu is to prolong life and maintain beauty.
"Red Lotus Sword Sutra" is a Confucian sword technique. It is very powerful, elegant and unstoppable. It has many practitioners. Even the leader Huo Xuanying practices this sword technique.
The original "Lion and Camel Magic Sound" comes from the Tantric Sect of the Western Regions. It should be considered a Buddhist martial arts, and its power is equally amazing.
"Those five incomplete martial arts are all judged by the system as Level 3 Emerald Bronze. One simulation will consume 1,000 Dongpin rough stones."
"No matter what kind of technique, if the simulation is successful once, he can advance to the seventh level!"
Wei An calculated with his fingers that as an eighth-grade master at Dihu Martial Arts Hall, his monthly salary would be 5,000. In addition, he would probably get 3,000 from the Zhou family every month.
But if the Zhou family arranges tasks for him, he can get extra rewards for completing the tasks, and the rewards are usually very generous.
What's interesting is that in addition to the five martial arts, the 372 martial arts can also be used to simulate individually.
"He currently has a gift of 5,000 yuan in his leg, and the system balance is more than 1,000 points."
In other words, Wei An can simulate the exercises 6 times that month, and after receiving his wages in the east month, he can simulate the exercises 8 times.
Before I knew it, it was evening.
Someone brought dinner to Wei An.
During the confinement period in the library, three meals a month were provided, so Wei An didn't have to worry about being hungry.
At the same time, the owner of the museum, Dong Che, suddenly appeared, and the old man and Wei An drank some wine and chatted.
"Are you not angry that the deputy director took away my gift money?" Dong Che asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Wei An couldn't help but feel moved.
People outside said that Dong Che was retiring at the Dihu Martial Arts School. He was a confused old man and could do nothing. The person who made the decision was Huo Zhiping.
But Wei An discovered that this was not the case, and the old man had a clear conscience.
Wei An smiled lightly and said: "I'm not angry, just treat him as a gift to the deputy head."
Dong Che nodded and said: "Don't be angry and look at it with an open mind. I can use my life's experience to tell you whether you will be lucky if you suffer a loss."
After hearing what he said, Wei An didn't know what to say.
He thought for a while and then changed the topic: "Master, he heard that there are so many exercises in the world that they are countless. Why are there five exercises to choose from on the second floor?"
"You can't say that." Dong Che waved his legs, "There are actually quite a few of the five martial arts. It's not about being good at skills and martial arts, because a person's talent, time, and resources are all limited.
Yes, it’s good to be able to practice a martial art well. Furthermore, although there are many martial arts techniques, high-level ones are hard to come by.”
Wei An smiled softly and said: "If he has two sixth-level skills that he can contribute, I wonder how much reward the Dihu Gang can give him?"
"Two, six-level skills!"
Dong Che's eyes widened, he took a deep look at Wei An, and said slowly: "Then please see if my skills are good."
Wei An took out the Blood Jade Kung Fu and the Hunyuan Iron Body Kung Fu, and said with a smile: "Please help the owner of the gym to identify them."
Dong Che's expression became serious, he put down the wine glass and looked through it carefully.
The time soon reached ten o'clock in the morning, and it was not until that moment that Dong Che put down two books and nodded: "The goods are genuine."
Wei An was surprised and said: "Does the master of the hall know about those two martial arts?"
"good."
Dong Che picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "The Hunyuan Iron Body Kung Fu is a famous Buddhist technique. Some of the friends he knows practice it. As for the Blood Jade Kung Fu, he doesn't know its origin, but he knows that Earth Tiger
That skill exists outside the Xuanwu Pavilion of the Gang."
Wei An made this mistake without any hesitation.
After all, his Blood Jade Skill was obtained by Han Yunzhi from Huo Ziqiu's legs. Huo Ziqiu was obviously from the Huo family and had the conditions to enter the Xuanwu Pavilion of the Dihu Gang to obtain the skills.
"Mr. Ji, do you really want to dedicate those two skills to the Dihu Gang?" Dong Che asked.
Wei An said bluntly: "He needs money."
Dong Cheming blushed and said with a smile: "The blood jade skill can't be exchanged for much money, but the Hunyuan iron body skill has some hope. In that case, he can help me ask first."
Wei An nodded and smiled.
Exchanging exercises for money defeats one of his goals.
What he really wanted to do was to put the two techniques on the second level and then openly recommend them to apprentices for practice.
The night passed quickly.
At noon the next day, Dong Che came to see Wei An again and told him: "The steward of Xuanwu Pavilion recognizes my contribution. Don't tell me, Xuanwu Pavilion has both martial arts. Therefore, the steward gave me the valuation
It’s not high, the Blood Jade Skill is worth 2,000, and the Hunyuan Iron Body Skill is worth 1,000.”
After that, he handed over a money bag.
No, it’s just that little?
In the majestic world of martial arts, the value of martial arts has actually been devalued to that extent. Don't you want to save face?
Wei An's expression changed and he asked in surprise: "Why is the Hunyuan Iron Body Skill worth 1,000?"
Dong Che replied: "Although Hunyuan Iron Body Kung Fu is not a hard Kung Fu of Buddhism, but frankly speaking, its grade is actually not as good as Chonglou Xuan Jin. It is very tasteless, tasteless when eaten, and thrown away with disgust."
Wei An understood and asked again: "What about the Blood Jade Skill? Why is the value of the Hunyuan Iron Body Skill instead?"
Dong Che laughed and said: "The steward likes that kind of handwriting very much and thinks that it is a copy of a calligraphy master's work that is worth collecting."
"..."
Wei An was speechless for a while, then vomited: "If I had known this, he should have sold it on the black market."
Dong Che shook his head and said: "In the black market, the most valuable thing is the exercises. No one will practice the exercises of unknown origin. Besides, instead of buying the exercises and practicing them yourself, it is better to find a good and reliable master.
"
Wei An couldn't even think about it.
The exercises are often extremely esoteric and difficult to understand.
Unlike in the previous life of Blue Star, college textbooks can be purchased online, and you can also study by yourself, but people don't rush to take the college entrance examination. In fact, it is the same truth.
The textbook itself is not worth much money.
Yu Che took the opportunity to ask: "Then he can put those two skills on the second floor and let the apprentices choose to practice?"
Dong Che's wrong answer was: "Follow me, as long as you can use as many evil skills as you want to harm others, it doesn't matter. However, the secret book must indicate the origin of the skills and how many levels you have been able to practice in the past."
"
Wei An is incompetent.
…
…
At noon, someone came to the second floor of the library.
Wei An looked at the door and found a tall and majestic young man standing next to him.
"Greetings, sir, have you come here to choose the exercises?" The young man had strong muscles and a loud voice. Wei An saluted respectfully.
Wei An nodded, pointed to the table in front of Dong and said: "No courtesy, please register first."
The wrong person immediately wrote Dong’s name: Gu Yunjie, age: 19
"Three years older than him..."
Wei An paused for a moment and asked, "Isn't it a martial art that I want to choose?"
"Replying to the teacher, my disciple finally advanced to the ninth level two days ago. I will choose a technique when I come over that time." Gu Yunjie answered honestly.
Wei An understands that those who are qualified to come to the second floor to choose exercises must reach the ninth level.
If so, he said slowly: "I can choose exercises or martial arts at will, but I can't take anything away, let alone damage anything.
After I select the exercise or martial art, I go to the table by the window and recite it.
Remember, I can only stay on the second floor for two hours every day, and I will be asked to leave when the time is up."
Gu Yunjie continued: "He knows the rules."
Afterwards, he entered the main hall and moved around the rows of bookshelves, selecting martial arts secrets and reading them.
Wei An intentionally or unintentionally looked sideways at Gu Yunjie. The latter's expression was hesitant and tangled, his brows were twisted into a knot, and he seemed to be having trouble making a decision.
