"My surname is Mu. My name is Mu Yunshen!" The old man surnamed Mu said," Mu as in Duke Mu of Qin, Yun Shen as in Yun Shen!”
Jiang Yuntian nodded his head vigorously, indicating that he had already remembered it. In fact, he had already known this name a long time ago.
"Nephew Jiang," the old man with the surname Mu said with a bitter smile,"when you were traveling in the Jianghu, did you ever hear my name?"”
Jiang Yuntian shook his head gently and smiled bitterly apologetically."Old man, I don't know much about the martial world. Before this, I rarely walked around the martial world, so I don't know much about the people and stories of the martial world.”
" I believe you." Old Man Mu panted and pointed at the tea set on the table. Jiang Yuntian immediately understood. He quickly stood up and poured a bowl of tea for the old man. Even though the tea was already cold, the old man surnamed Mu did not mind. He took it from Jiang Yuntian's hands and hurriedly drank it in one gulp.
After quickly drinking the bowl of cold tea, he continued,"…To be honest, even if you often walk around the martial arts world, I don't think you'll hear my name easily. Most of the people with high status and achievements in martial arts have heard of me from their elders in their sects or families. They know a little about me.”
"If that's the case, you should be considered a member of the martial arts world, right?" Jiang Yuntian asked.”
"I don't think so myself…But since you're asking me this, I won't deny it…Listen carefully!" Old Man Mu shook his head.”
He panted a few times and pretended to sit up. Jiang Yuntian hurriedly straightened his upper body and wrapped the blanket into a thick ball. Then, he placed it behind the old man's body so that he could sit more comfortably. Old Man Mu nodded in satisfaction, feeling much better.
He continued," Many people in this area call me Camel Guest. They treat me as a very pure businessman. On both sides of the Ulun River, all the mines that produce gold are under my name. That's why the people here call me the old gold digger!”
Jiang Yuntian did not interrupt because he suddenly felt that what the old man wanted to say to him was very important. Perhaps he knew that he really did not have much time left to live, so he took advantage of his last breath to say as much as possible.
Jiang Yuntian thought about how the old man surnamed Mu was too seriously injured. Even if he tried to save him, there was nothing he could do. He might not live long. When he thought about this, a sense of sadness appeared in his heart. Therefore, he listened attentively and cherished every word the old man said.
" Although I do a lot of business in this area," the old man said," I don't live here. I live far away from here."”
At this point, he paused for a moment and looked straight at Jiang Yuntian."Nephew Jiang, you must remember that my home is in Fufeng Town, which is located at the foot of the Azure Dragon Ridge.”
Jiang Yuntian stood up and said,""Old man, please wait for me for a moment. I'll go find a pen and write down the address you gave me!”
"Don't take notes. Just remember it in your mind." The old man shook his head. Also, you have to promise me that this address will never be leaked to anyone else!”
"Don't worry, old man!" Jiang Yuntian said solemnly. I will never tell a second person.”
The old man surnamed Mu said solemnly," It's not that I'm overly cautious, but it's because once my enemy, Tong Fei Yun, finds out about this place, then all the possible consequences that might be caused next will be unimaginable. And I only told you about it alone. Of course, there's also a reason!”
Jiang Yuntian's heart was filled with fear because the tone of the old man's words made it seem as if he could die at any moment. Why was he willing to tell him such important words?
Old Man Mu licked his dry lips and continued," It's Fufeng Town, fifty miles northwest of Azure Dragon Ridge. You must remember this. When you reach Fufeng Town, all you have to do is ask about the Cloud Dragon Villa, and everyone in the town will know…I…am the owner of the Cloud Dragon Villa! Nephew Jiang, do you remember?"
Jiang Yuntian repeated what he had told him seriously, not missing a single word.
Old Man Mu nodded his head in approval and said,"Your memory is very good…It seems that my judgment of people is very accurate.”
At this point, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face. This smile was originally a very gentle expression, but the pain on his face due to his serious injuries greatly diluted the gentleness of the smile, causing the gentle smile on the old man's face to be mixed with a lot of pain, making people look even more miserable!
"Nephew Jiang!" The old man surnamed Mu panted and said," My original plan was to observe you for a few days to get a better understanding of you. You may not know one thing, but the Mu family's Kung Fu unique skill is unrivaled in the Jianghu. It is famous and many people in the Jianghu have been yearning for the Mu family's Kung Fu for a long time. However, I will not easily teach it to outsiders…unless this person can pass on my long-term observation."”
" No wonder when I was chasing the Dusk Stallion, I often saw you by accident. It turns out that you had such a plan!" Jiang Yuntian said with a bitter smile. To tell you the truth, ever since I was fortunate enough to witness your superb martial arts that day, I have long had this thought in my heart. I really want to be your disciple, but now…sigh…"
"What do you think now?" asked the old man with the surname Mu.”
"I've suddenly given up on that idea!" Jiang Yuntian sighed.”
"Oh, then why?”The old man asked in surprise with his eyes wide open.
"I can't say why either." He smiled bitterly and said in a sincere tone," Now, the only thing I want to do is to raise you so that you can live well.”
The old man was stunned for a while before he said,"Nephew Jiang, didn't I already tell you that I don't have long to live?”
Jiang Yuntian said,"Old man, I know your situation, but…" Mu Yunshen's hand, which was pale from excessive blood loss, had already placed on his wrist again.
"Silly child, there are no buts!”The smile on his thin face was very desolate and stubborn.
"Listen carefully!" Mu Yunshen straightened his body against the blanket and said coldly," I didn't hesitate to come here to find you, not because I wanted you to save my life, nor did I come to listen to your opinion. You have to remember that I don't have much time left in this world. From now on, everything I say is very important. I hope you won't interrupt me. Since you saw me for the first time, our master-disciple relationship and fate have been destined by the heavens!”
The unquestionable attitude and words of the old man surnamed Mu caused Jiang Yuntian to be tongue-tied. For a moment, he really did not know what to say.
" Don't think that it's a coincidence that I have the intention to take you in as my disciple." Mu Yunshen smiled desolately. The brilliance in his eyes seemed to contain a very deep meaning."You are the successor that I carefully selected after a long period of observation!”
Imparting True Secret Arts to Guide Vital Qi
Mu Yunshen's face was serious and his expression was extremely solemn. He said in a very certain tone,"I've been in Jianghu for decades, and I've always had a good eye for people. I also believe that the successor I've carefully chosen will never be wrong. At the very least, he won't betray me, and he won't do anything that's detrimental to the Mu family! Nephew Jiang…before I teach you the secret and exclusive twenty-word cultivation technique of our Mu family, you should accept my congratulations…"
Jiang Yuntian could not help but be stunned. He stuttered,"Congratulations?"
"Not bad! Congratulations." The old man surnamed Mu sneered," What? Don't tell me you don't think this is worth celebrating?”
"No…No, no, no!" Jiang Yuntian said in extreme embarrassment," I really don't know what to say to you now! Old senior, I…I'll tell you the truth! When you're in such a critical condition, I'm completely at a loss and don't know what to do! If you insist on teaching me the secret technique of your Mu family, that would be very unwise…I really don't have the mood to do so.”
The old man's eyes widened. After he listened carefully to Jiang Yuntian's words, a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his face turned even paler in an instant.
Jiang Yuntian was shocked and shouted anxiously,"Old Senior, how are you?"
" No." Mu Yunshen shook his head hard and said firmly," I believe that you are not someone with such poor self-control. If it's really like what you said, then I have completely misjudged you." Now, listen carefully to what I'm asking you!”
He suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Jiang Yuntian forcefully."I told you where I live just now.”
Jiang Yuntian was stunned for a moment and replied without hesitation,"You live in the Cloud Dragon Villa in Fufeng Town under the Green Dragon Ridge!”
"Right! You didn't say a word wrong." Old Man Mu's face was filled with a happy smile as he said happily," The fact that you answered my question so accurately and so quickly fully proves that you can still maintain the calmness that you deserve even when your emotions are fluctuating greatly. You really didn't disappoint me!”
Only now did Jiang Yuntian understand the intentions of the old man surnamed Mu. He could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He almost did not have the courage now, and he really could not bear to reject the ardent wish of this dying old man.
"Alright then!" Jiang Yuntian sat up straight and said solemnly,"I sincerely promise you that I'm willing to accept the Mu family's secret unique skill, but you should also promise me one condition!”
"Oh, what's the condition first?" The old man surnamed Mu asked in surprise.”
"After you impart the twenty-word secret technique, you must treat your injuries properly!" Jiang Yuntian said.”
Mu Yunshen laughed at himself and nodded.""No problem. I can promise you that, silly child. If you think that I want to die, then you're wrong. There are too many places in this world that I'm attached to.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stretched out his hands and said,"Quickly resist it!"
Jiang Yuntian was stunned for a moment. He quickly reached out his hand to block the other party's palm. As their palms touched, Jiang Yuntian felt his heart tremble. He felt a sense of clarity that he had never felt before.
The old man said solemnly," The heart and the will are combined, the will and the qi are combined, and the qi and the force are combined. This is the three internal combinations. In the three combinations, the heart is the root, the will is the stem, the qi is the branch, and the force is the leaf. The will comes from the heart, the qi flows freely, and the force comes from the qi.”
The old man's tone was deep and gentle, but it was as loud as a bell in Jiang Yuntian's ears. The most amazing thing was that wisdom came from the heart. Following the old man's words, Jiang Yuntian could naturally reach the so-called Inner Triad Realm that the old man surnamed Mu had requested.
The three of them combined into one. Immediately, a gentle and comfortable aura was emitted from Jiang Yuntian's two palms. His entire body felt an indescribable comfortable feeling.
The old man named Mu closed his eyes and nodded his head slightly. There was a satisfied expression on his face as he continued to whisper,"The wind blows, the wind blows. Virtuous Nephew Jiang, you must remember these twenty words by heart. You must not miss a single word!”
Pausing for a moment, he recited the Twenty-Word True Formula word by word and then explained,"Internal Martial Arts focuses on the reflection of the three tips, which is the tip of the nose, the tip of the hand, and the tip of the foot. When the three tips are reflected, the vital qi will flow smoothly without stagnation.”
Jiang Yuntian had just memorized the old man's words when he unexpectedly felt the two gentle forces coming from the old man's palm. They were actually coordinating with the old man's words and slowly guiding the vital qi in his body. They followed the old man's words and automatically passed through the meridians and key acupoints in his body, making his words and actions completely consistent. In this way, it deepened Jiang Yuntian's memory of the true technique and left an extremely deep impression on him.
It was only then that Jiang Yuntian suddenly realized the old man's good intentions. He was instantly filled with gratitude, and he deeply understood the preciousness of the Mu family's unique and exquisite martial arts. This kind of opportunity could be said to be encountered but not sought. In a moment of good fortune, he absorbed it to his heart's content, so as not to let down the old man's ardent hope.
The old man surnamed Mu guided Jiang Yuntian's cultivation from beginning to end according to the true formula and the essentials of cultivation. Because Jiang Yuntian understood it, the originally difficult cultivation and Qi guidance actually went smoothly. It was simply unobstructed.
After the Qi flowed smoothly, the old man surnamed Mu slowly opened his slightly dim eyes and said with great relief,"I know your aptitude is not bad, but I didn't expect your aptitude to be so good.”
After saying that, he looked up at the sky and sighed."When I was twenty-six years old, I started to enter the martial world. By chance, I obtained the secret of the Mu family. After that, I spent decades in the martial world trying to find a suitable successor. I wanted to find a disciple who could pass on the Mu family's unique skills to me without worry. Unfortunately, after decades of hard work, things did not go as I wished, so this matter has been delayed until today…Fortunately, God pitied me for my painstaking efforts and finally met you!”
After listening to the old man Mu Yunshen's words, Jiang Yuntian could not help but be slightly stunned. He asked with some doubt,"For so many years, could it be that Senior Mu has never accepted a disciple?”
