Chapter 24 Accepting a Disciple
After Wang Ming left Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, he planned to go to Dali to see if he could get the "One Finger of Sun".
We found a hotel on the way, had a meal and rested before continuing the journey.
Eat a meal and drink a little wine leisurely, and listen to the conversations of people in the restaurant.
The novel is true, restaurants are indeed the best place to collect intelligence.
It's not surprising if you think about it. People are in a good mood when they meet with friends, and their trust in their friends is already high. With a little alcohol as a stimulation, they start to complain about their experiences, show off their knowledge, and unknowingly say things that they shouldn't say normally.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you must have a certain foundation in internal strength, otherwise it would be nonsense to go to the tavern to collect intelligence.
Just think about it, if someone is speaking quietly two meters away from you, it would be difficult for you to hear clearly what you want to know in a noisy bar. Sometimes people will speak loudly, but usually they say useless things.
Wang Ming was listening with great interest to the guests and his friends at the table next to him, who were showing off how to seduce the ladies of wealthy families and the gold and silver they got from them. He was also generous enough to pass on his experience to his friends. What he said was that they wanted to share the happiness.
Wang Ming was also listening attentively in secret. It was really eye-opening. He did not expect that the ancients also had so many tricks. He planned to ask them for some money after leaving the restaurant.
"bump!!!!!"
Suddenly, I heard a series of collision sounds of tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, mixed with the man's screams and wails in pain.
Seeing this situation, Wang Ming also stopped eating and turned his attention over there.
There stood a beautiful young girl holding a sword and with a fierce look in her eyes. Her appearance was no less than Huang Rong, but her temperament was different and each had her own merits.
Huang Rong's temperament is lively and agile, but this woman has a cold and stern feeling, but it still does not affect her beauty.
"You shameless pervert, a heartless man who specializes in deceiving decent women." The woman was still cursing.
Wang Ming also realized that the people who were beaten were the two men who had just talked about seducing rich ladies and preparing to live off them.
As a result, the girl also heard their conversation and then she took action.
The two men were beaten before they could figure out what was going on. They knew what to do and knew they had to get through the situation first, no matter what the reason was, so they knelt down and begged for mercy without any shame.
Seeing this scene, everyone thought it was over. After all, although Wang Ming had blood on his hands, he generally would not kill people easily.
At first, Wang Ming just planned to find a secluded place, teach them a lesson, and disfigure them so that they could not seduce ignorant women and be deceived.
Unexpectedly, this young girl was quite decisive. She stabbed a man in the chest with a sword and killed him on the spot.
Feeling unsatisfied, and just as he was about to strike the remaining people with the sword, a group of people ran out from a distance.
"Keep someone under the sword!"
The woman glanced at them and was not influenced by the people who came out. She still used her sword to send the man to reunite with his companions.
"How dare you, witch, to kill someone in front of our Beggars' Sect."
They were also annoyed by the woman's behavior. Seven or eight Beggar Gang disciples surrounded the woman and then attacked her with dog-beating sticks. They coordinated very well and it was like a stick formation that blocked the woman's way. The woman was in a dangerous situation in the formation. She tried to move left and right but was always blocked.
Wang Ming carefully counted the cloth bags on the clothes of these Beggar Gang disciples. He found that two of them were Six-Bag Elders of the Beggar Gang. Their skills were considered as masters in the martial arts world, probably on par with Ke Zhen'e!
Everyone thought the woman would be captured like this.
Unexpectedly, the situation was reversed in an instant. The woman suddenly changed her tactics. Her swordsmanship became extremely sharp, and she looked otherworldly and graceful. She floated forward with an air of ethereal beauty.
The three ordinary disciples were injured and fell to the ground after just a few rounds, and they were unable to fight for a short time.
The stick formation was broken because of the absence of these three people. The woman easily broke the stick formation, and the two eight-bag elders were both injured and fell to the ground.
"The Beggars' Sect has a great reputation, but their martial arts are really not that great! How dare you meddle in your aunt's business? Be smarter in your next life."
This woman has always acted in a way that completely eradicates the trouble and leaves no future troubles. These people have become enemies with her today, so there is no reason to let them go. She will draw her sword and kill them.
Suddenly, a strange middle-aged man appeared and stood between the woman and the injured Beggar Gang disciple who fell to the ground.
The woman took a palm strike from the middle-aged man and was pushed back seven or eight steps on the spot. If it weren't for the wall of the tavern behind her blocking the force, she would have had to retreat a few more steps before she could stop.
The woman immediately knew that she was no match for the man in front of her, so she suppressed the blood boiling in her body and asked:
"Who are you? I wonder how I have offended you?"
"No, it's just that I have a history with Gang Leader Hong, and I feel embarrassed to see his followers die in front of me."
"Since these people have a history with you, let's just let this matter pass. I will take my leave first."
The woman has been in the underworld for a while and knows that in this underworld, the one with the bigger fist is the rule, so she doesn't want to say much and just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Wait, what's your name and who is your master?" Wang Ming suddenly asked.
Wang Ming was really surprised that there was a woman with such amazing martial arts in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Her martial arts were even better than those of Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke.
"My name is Li Mochou, and I don't have a master."
Li Mochou violated the rules of the ancient tomb in order to come out to see Lu Zhanyuan and was expelled from the sect, so now she is unwilling to report her master's name. She also knows that her master basically never leaves the ancient tomb and has no reputation in the world, so it would be of no use to report her master's name.
Wang Ming suddenly realized that he had actually forgotten about her. This was the true number one in the world in this era, so naturally the disciples he taught were extraordinary.
I thought to myself, "Thinking back to the life of Li Mochou in the original novel, I remember that it was described that Li Mochou was a gentle and lovely woman at the beginning, but later she was hurt by her feelings and became cruel and extreme in character. Was she dumped by Lu Zhanyuan so early?"
After looking Li Mochou up and down for a while,
Li Mochou is actually very talented, even better than Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo are somewhat inferior to her.
Li Mochou did not receive the true martial arts of the Ancient Tomb School, nor did she have the opportunity to obtain the "Nine Yin Manual" like Guo Jing and Yang Guo, but she was not inferior to Huang Rong in the later period. She also created a martial arts "Three Noes and Three Noes" and transformed the "Jade Girl Swordsmanship" into the "Dust Whisk" which was more powerful than the original swordsmanship.
Li Mochou saw that Wang Ming didn't say anything and looked at her strangely. That look made her feel like he saw through her and that she had no secrets at all, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Senior! If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." Li Mochou said anxiously.
"You are so skilled in martial arts at such a young age, you must be extremely talented. Are you interested in becoming my apprentice?" Wang Ming suddenly said.
Li Mochou was confused by the question, but she came to her senses immediately. She was not naive and knew that the world was dangerous and that nothing could be easy.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I just lied. I have a master. Please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders."
"Oh! That's fine. I can't take away someone else's beloved disciple."
Li Mochou was overjoyed when she heard this, thinking that she could finally get away from the person in front of her. Being with him made her feel insecure.
"I just happen to be in need of a maid to help me carry my sword. You are the one."
After saying this, he subdued Li Mochou, who had not yet reacted, and took her away from the downtown area.
............................................................
After Li Mochou woke up, her first reaction was to check her clothes. She found that they had not been undone and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Ming saw Li Mochou's actions and couldn't help feeling disgusted.
Wang Ming's intentions towards Li Mochou were pure. He just wanted her to continue wandering around in the world, which would not only ruin her life, but also ruin countless innocent passers-by.
Having three wives and four concubines was normal in this era. Basically, most men were what Li Mochou considered to be unfaithful men. If they were released, there would only be bloodshed.
I thought she was still young and had gone astray, so I wanted to see if I could turn her around.
As for what my dear readers are thinking, whether they say one thing and do another, the answer is no.
Wang Ming has no intention of looking for a woman in this world anyway. He has a system that basically allows him to be immortal. If he finds a wife, is he going to watch her grow old and become a pile of bones in a tomb?
This will only cause more trouble.
The fairies and witches of the future world are his target.
On the way, Wang Ming took out his sword case and asked her to carry it on her back, which scared her so much that her face turned pale.
She didn't last an hour before she knelt on the ground and asked to be accepted as her disciple and no longer a sword-carrying maid.
Cough!
Finally I agreed to let her carry the sword on her back just to scare her as a joke. How heavy is that?
She could barely carry it relying on her internal strength, but her walking speed was needless to say.
Accepting Li Mochou as his disciple also made Wang Ming give up his plan to look for Duan Zhixing, and instead travel around the country and teach his disciples.
......................................................
That day, Li Mochou went out to fetch water and did not return for a long time. Wang Ming thought she had run away, so he followed the traces to look for her.
As a result, I saw in the distance a man in a brocade robe who was supported by someone. He seemed to be injured. He was still constantly directing the group of people in front of him who were holding fishing nets and were besieging a man.
Looking closely, it was Li Mochou who was being besieged. Surrounded by the group of people, Li Mochou was in danger and gradually became weak and her hair was in disarray.
There were several wounds on his body and he looked very miserable.
Wang Ming jumped out without thinking much and used the move of "flowers raining money all over the sky".
Then, a group of people died or were injured.
Li Mochou saw that her cheap master had come and subdued the people who had just besieged her. So she stood up and slashed the neck of the man in brocade robe with a sword. She almost fell into his hands just now, and she calmed down after seeing that he was exhausted.
Wang Ming ignored Li Mochou and interrogated the rest of the people before he found out what had happened.
It turned out that they met while fetching water from the river, and then the man in brocade robe saw the beautiful Li Mochou, he became lustful and approached her to chat with her.
It was also his bad luck. Li Mochou had just been cheated by Lu Zhanyuan, so she thought everyone was a heartless man. Plus, there was an undisguised lust in the man's eyes, and his words were a bit frivolous, so they started fighting without even saying a word.
By the way, Wang Ming also learned from these people that the man in brocade robe was Gongsun Zhi, the philandering, lustful, and promiscuous leader of the Jueqing Valley in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Gongsun Zhi's martial arts skills were average, and he was defeated by Li Mochou in just a few moves. However, Li Mochou didn't expect that the fishing net formation behind Gongsun Zhi was quite powerful, and almost caused Li Mochou to fall.
It's normal to think about it. Even Zhou Botong had been caught in the fishing net formation, so it's not surprising that Li Mochou suffered a setback.
Reminded by this incident, Wang Ming also remembered the place called Jueqing Valley. Without saying a word, he asked the rest of the people to lead the way to Jueqing Valley. Wang Ming decided to take over that industry.
Wang Ming used to be able to live in a place without a fixed address and sleep in the open air, but now it is inconvenient to take care of a little apprentice.
Besides, his strength is only slightly inferior to the Five Great Masters, but when he reported his identity, he was quite cheap.
Look: the owner of Peach Blossom Island, Lord Duan Huangye of Dali, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, the owner of White Camel Mountain, and the leader of the Quanzhen Sect. Look how stylish they are.
Even though Qiu Qianren fell to the ground, he was still the leader of the Iron Palm Gang.
The most important thing is that Wang Ming needs a place to calm down. He has a lot of martial arts secrets, but too little ability to realize them. This is actually the main reason why Wang Ming gave up going to Dali. He does not lack this martial art.
