Azure Dragon Kill Scripture
Liang Qu came in October, and it is October now as well.
Leaving aside the four stages, it took a whole year. The day before yesterday, Chen Jiechang and his team barely managed to break through to the Second Barrier with the help of a few Treasure Fish.
There's a saying that Galloping Horse Martial Master takes three years to master a new skill and ten years to reach a new realm. Galloping Horse Martial Arts is said to be Hu Yan Shijing, and half of one's life is over. Hu Yanshi, Lian Jingye, and Liu Jie are no exception.
In just one year, Liang Qu accomplished what an ordinary Martial Master would take half a lifetime to achieve.
Of course, the main reason is that he has a strong connection with Great Marsh, Treasure Fish, and Treasure Plant.
I still remember last year's Spring Festival, when my Master set a goal for me to Break Three Barriers...
It feels like a lifetime ago.
"I wonder if the senior brothers have achieved their goals?"
Liang Qu was in a good mood and carefully put away the Origin Aperture Great Pill.
The clerk carried a small leather suitcase off the carriage. The suitcase hit the ground with a dull thud, and it was quite heavy.
"My lord, there is a thousand Treasure Silver in the box. Please check it."
Liang Qu took the key handed to him by the clerk, unlocked the lock, and ten horseshoe-shaped silver ingots gleamed with a smooth, white light in the sunlight.
Silver has a high density; one ingot is about the size of a fist, and ten Fist would weigh five hundred taels.
Lift the partition in the middle, and there are ten more, making a total of twenty ingots in two layers. Each ingot is stamped with the characters "Da Shun" on its underside.
The silver sent by the imperial court was naturally Treasure Silver, namely "two-four-treasure silver", which was of a higher purity than the silver normally circulating in the market. When it was exchanged for plain Sterling Silver at the money shop, it would be worth two taels and four mace more. The small box of Treasure Silver in front of me was equivalent to one thousand and forty-eight Sterling Silver!
Previously, his Master's Wife had given him a 24-yuan ingot, and now this was the second time Liang Qu had earned it with his own hands.
Upon closer examination, both the money spent and the income flowed in like water.
With the 1,000 taels of silver from the imperial court, the 2,000 Silver Note from the Sand River Gang, and the remaining funds from before, Liang Qu's treasury has risen back to nearly 6,000!
happy.
During this trip to Hua Zhu County, Liang Qu Treasury received a small amount of gold, but also an extra Red Dragon Fish, a withered tree Dead Wood Meeting Spring, a Origin Aperture Great Pill, two Great Merit, two good fruits from the Sand River Gang, and several low-grade Treasure Fish Treasure Plant.
Make a killing!
Of course, Liang Qu himself contributed a lot. Apart from catching the culprit, the other credits were thanks to Ze Cauldron, who did a solid job.
The silver and the elixir were obtained, and the Great Merit was recorded in the River Conservancy Office's account. The only thing left to do was to use the Merit Selection Authority.
Liang Qu inquired of the minor official.
"Please wait a moment, sir." Before long, the clerk led over two officials dressed in blue robes and bowed, saying, "Lord Liang, these two are the curators of the Scripture Repository Palace, Si Tianye and Si Shenfu."
The Scripture Repository Palace.
Liang Qu is a place whose name alone tells you what it is. The position of Guancheng is equivalent to a librarian, which is not a low-ranking position.
"Thank you both."
"Lord Liang, you are too kind. It is my duty."
The two officials bowed in return.
After the introductions were completed, the curator named Si Tianye took out a thick, hardcover book from a small box. "The catalog of superior martial arts techniques that Lord Liang can exchange for is all here."
You can use the table of contents and introduction in this book to find and select suitable superior martial arts on your own, or you can set specific conditions and let the two of us help you select them.
We can recite at least 80-90% of the contents of the book, if not 100%.
Once you've finalized your martial arts manual, there's no need to transport it from the Imperial Capital. There's also a library annex in Southern Zhili; we'll send someone from there to copy it for you.
"A catalog is actually this thick?"
Liang Qu took the hardcover book, which was as thick as a palm. It was quite heavy, and he couldn't believe how many martial arts manuals were hidden in the imperial court.
Si Shenfu laughed and said, "The territory of the Da Shun Dynasty is so vast that it is unprecedented in the history of dynasties. Its strength is overwhelming, and naturally it gathers all kinds of martial arts in the world."
The current catalog was compiled four years ago and has removed a lot of miscellaneous, heretical, and outdated studies.
"There's no need for you to rush the selection. The envoy needs to investigate the current situation of Lord Qiu's Dyke and Hua Zhu County. The mission will have three to four days, which is ample time."
Liang Qu deeply acknowledged the vastness of the Da Shun territory.
He lifted the hard cover; the book's material was unique, the paper both soft and tough, seemingly fireproof and waterproof.
Within the catalog, all martial arts techniques are categorized and organized.
It encompasses everything from fists and palms to body techniques and various weapons.
Each martial art is listed with its name, characteristics, effects, difficulty, suitable Martial Master, and quality as top-grade.
Many martial arts manuals include feedback from Martial Master on their training. Some of these masters remain anonymous, only sharing their experiences, while others openly share their insights, indicating that they are open to discussion and mutual improvement if interested.
The book also includes dozens of pages of handwritten supplements at the end.
According to the curator, the catalog is compiled every few years, and the handwritten parts were probably not included in the catalog.
After searching for a while, Liang Qu saw many unique and amazing martial arts techniques. However, the spear techniques section was vast and complex, and the more he looked, the more dizzy he became. He felt that he was wasting his time, so he simply took out four small silver ingots, twenty taels of silver for each person.
The imperial court specially dispatched two officials who claimed to "remember 80-90% of the content," clearly to be used as human search engines.
"I wonder if the two of you have ever heard of a spear-style martial art called the Azure Dragon Seven Kill Spear?"
This technique, even with only its first three moves, is considered superior; when used, it is accompanied by a flash of azure light and a dragon's roar, displaying extraordinary power.
"Azure Dragon Seven Kill Spear?"
The two officials accepted the silver without ceremony and fell into deep thought.
The secret passage through Liang Qu is in trouble.
The imperial court would never send an incompetent person. The fact that he could travel thousands of miles to come clearly indicates that he is a person of great learning and knowledge. He suddenly fell into deep thought, the meaning of which is self-evident.
After a while.
The official in charge of the museum Si Tianye, shook his head. "I have never heard of such a spear technique that emits a blue light. There are several techniques, but they do not match your other descriptions and power, Lord Liang."
If the first three moves of the Seven Killings technique are already considered superior, then the overall technique must be at least top-tier.
Liang Qu looked regretful and handed over the catalog. "Could you help me find the few spear techniques you mentioned earlier?"
"There is nothing wrong with that."
Si Tianye took the catalog and flipped through the folded corners.
Taking this opportunity, Liang Qu looked at another official who had not yet given an answer.
Si Shenfu sensed Liang Qu's gaze and looked hesitant.
Liang Qu sensed an opportunity. "Speak freely if you have something to say."
"I seem to remember that there was a book called ' Azure Dragon Kill Scripture ' in the Half-Scroll Pavilion? It was added to the library seven or eight years ago."
The Azure Dragon Kill Scripture? No gun, no seven...
Liang Qu pondered the two words and asked, "It sounds more like Cultivation Method than a martial art?"
Si Tianye nearby, was stunned when he heard Si Shenfu's explanation. He immediately recalled, "The name sounds like Cultivation Method, and it is indeed a martial art. It's just that the Library has never known how to define it because of the issue of grade."
Liang Qu asked curiously, "What's the issue with rank?"
Si Shenfu replied, "The officials in the library have always wanted to list it as a True Art, but unfortunately it only has the second half of the scroll, otherwise it wouldn't have been included in the Half-Scroll Pavilion."
Many adults also believe that whether it is worthwhile to classify half of the incomplete manual as True Art is detrimental to its exchange and dissemination. If it is not passed down and learners are forced to actively search for it, then finding the first half of the martial arts manual will be a long way off.
The Three-Round Cultivation Method authorized, but there was always controversy surrounding it, so it was shelved. It didn't even make it into the realm of True Art or superior skills, which is why you won't find this martial art in the catalog in your possession.
Liang Qu rubbed his chin.
"True Art?"
