Chapter 118 A Martial Arts Transmigration Story (9)
It looks really impressive; Gu Shijiu's mouth was practically watering as she read the description.
Seeing Lin Wei draw his knife again brought her back to reality.
Aside from having a fairly sharp knife and being more professional than a butcher at cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, he seemed unremarkable.
Lin Wei chuckled憨厚ly as he chopped down a tree: "I'm not very talented; I've only managed to learn the first move."
"This is still a long way from breaking through the wind and waves," Gu Shijiu asked. "How should we train?"
“Just practice like this, and one day you’ll have an epiphany, and this move will be perfected.” Lin Wei kept chopping down trees without stopping.
"Huh?" Gu Shijiu had received the best basic education, and she couldn't understand this method of training.
"Junior sister, haven't you already mastered the technique?" Lin Wei had always thought that Gu Shijiu's strength lay in her mastery of the technique.
Gu Shijiu shook his head repeatedly: "Do you think my fighting style is similar to yours?"
Lin Wei couldn't explain it either: "I don't know what it looks like when the moves are fully mastered."
Gu Shijiu tried to think of ways to improve Lin Wei's martial arts skills, but then her head started to hurt again.
Oh dear, this nerve injury is really bad, it just won't get better, it's even affecting her ability to use her intelligence.
That night, the wall of the Mad Saber Sect was breached again.
Gu Shijiu was woken up from her sleep by someone, her temples throbbing. She could only grab her spiked club and go find the culprit.
However, she quickly stopped what she was doing after seeing who it was.
"Shi Qi." Gu Shijiu found it somewhat surprising, "I can't believe I'm seeing you in the story."
Shi Qi was dressed in black, and her body exuded the fragrance of medicine.
Smelling this scent, Gu Shijiu felt her mind clear up a bit: "What is your identity this time?"
"According to the description in the plot, I am the court's henchman and the emperor's lackey, and I am specifically at odds with people from the martial arts world."
Shi Qi took out a medicine packet and stuffed it into Gu Shijiu's body.
"When I heard the rumors about the Mad Saber Sect, I thought this Lin Yu might be you, so I came here specifically to see."
Gu Shijiu leaned closer to smell the medicine packet: "What is this?"
“Um… a secret imperial medicine for treating mental illness.” Shi Qi patted her head. “Ajiu has suffered again.”
"It's alright, I'm the one suffering, but others are the ones dying." Gu Shijiu got used to the pain as she went along.
Shi Qi hung the medicine packet on her belt: "Wear it for now, and I'll come back and change it for you when the medicine wears off in a few days."
"Are you leaving?" Gu Shijiu tugged at Shi Qi's sleeve.
"I can't come to you openly because of my current identity. The day for electing the leader of the martial arts alliance will be coming soon."
The imperial court is planning to cause trouble, and I need to lead the team. If it's discovered that I'm associating with martial arts practitioners, I won't be able to come.
Shi Qi was then the Commander of the Palace Guards, and belonged to the Imperial Guard system.
"What kind of official is this?" Gu Shijiu was surprised that Shi Qi had become an official.
“This is a high-ranking official.” Shi Qi’s lips curled up. “I’m here to wipe out this group of martial arts practitioners.”
With martial arts masters breaking the law, the imperial court weakened, and sects controlling the government, the court, after long periods of forbearance, is finally about to take action.
Gu Shijiu's eyes widened: "You're here to get rid of me?"
"Haha, are you going to run away quickly?" Shi Qi was amused.
"I'm not running away. I'm going to kill every last one of the emperor's men." Gu Shijiu said a line she had seen in a TV series.
"Alright, then I'll have no choice but to seek refuge with the Mad Blade Sect to make a living. I'm afraid I'll be punished if I go back."
Shi Qi was joking.
"Oh, so you're out of scenes again."
It's easy to imagine that being a low-level disciple in the Mad Blade Sect is less appealing than being a high-ranking and powerful commander.
He sounds like a major villain.
Shi Qi expressed her thoughts: "Ajiu, this martial arts world is too chaotic. You can see the lives of ordinary people."
They were killed for no reason, and even if they lived, they would only be slaves to the sect, including those so-called disciples.
The martial arts world is full of people fighting and killing every day, not engaging in any productive work, and the country is on the verge of collapse.
No matter how bad the imperial court is, having a stable regime is always good for ordinary people.
Seeing the Central Plains in chaos, the northern nomadic tribes had long been eager to make their move.
If they head south, can those江湖 (jianghu) people really stop them? We'll have to rely on the army.
But now the army doesn't even have enough people, they can't recruit any soldiers, they're all in the sects.
"Why don't we join forces? I'll be in the imperial court, and you'll be in the martial arts world. Together, we can manage these martial arts practitioners well."
Gu Shijiu had never done anything so big before, and she was quite excited when she heard this: "Then what do I need to do?"
"First, let's seize the position of the martial arts alliance leader..." Shi Qi suggested to her.
Gu Shijiu didn't hear the rest clearly, but she just wanted to get the first step right.
As the two were talking, someone outside the gate of the Mad Blade Sect started challenging them again.
Shi Qi instinctively stepped in front of Gu Shijiu, but then, remembering Gu Shijiu's current fighting prowess, she turned and climbed over the wall to hide, intending to watch the show.
The newcomer was somewhat embarrassed; he hadn't expected the Mad Blade Sect's door to be so flimsy.
No matter what kind of door you install, it will always get damaged eventually.
To save money, the housekeeper simply installed a broken door.
Upon seeing someone in the courtyard, the newcomer stepped over the broken gate and shouted, "Hand over the Lei family's secret manual at once!"
Gu Shijiu's nerves, which had just been calmed down, started to twitch again. She pulled out her spiked club and started punching the person who had come at her.
"How many times have I told you, just come to me and climb over the wall, don't break the door again, don't you understand?"
Visitor: Is this the important point?
Seeing Gu Shijiu's posture, the newcomer froze on the spot, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Seeing how cowardly he was, Gu Shijiu simply chopped off his hair bun with a stick.
The man touched his bald head, screamed, and collapsed to the ground because his legs gave way.
He only came because he lost a bet.
Thinking they could break down the door and run away, they didn't expect the owner to be standing in the yard.
No, what is she doing in the yard so late at night instead of sleeping?
"Stop arguing, or you'll lose your head." Gu Shijiu's face contorted even more after hearing the screams, her voice chilling.
The newcomer dared not fight Gu Shijiu and ran away, disappearing in a few breaths.
Seeing Gu Shijiu's condition, Shi Qi decided to find her some more good medicine: "Be careful."
Gu Shijiu scoffed: "Who can beat me?"
Shi Qi thought about it and realized that she was worrying for nothing.
After exchanging a few more words, he returned the way he came.
Before long, rumors spread in the martial arts world that Lin Yu of the Mad Saber Sect practiced his skills at night, but what he practiced remained a mystery.
This person possesses extremely profound skills, moves with incredible speed, and is unpredictable, especially intolerant of noise.
You have to be careful when talking to Lin Yu, and speak in a low and gentle voice, so as not to upset her.
If even the junior sister possesses such skill, Lin Wei, as the senior brother, must be even more formidable.
Unexpectedly, the Mad Blade Sect possessed such extraordinary secret techniques, and for a time, heroes from all walks of life wanted to learn more about them.
Even Lin Wei, who only practiced one sword strike a day, became a figure of great stature in the eyes of the crowd.
Several months passed, and the day arrived for the martial arts tournament to elect a martial arts leader.
