Chapter 35 The Whereabouts of the Cup

On the mountain behind Tiejianmen, there is an open open space in the forest.

As the sun rose, the sunlight penetrated the leaves and sprinkled mottled light and shadow on the ground. Chen Yi and Bai Shifeng, the senior brother of Tiejianmen, faced each other ten meters apart. The two looked serious and serious, and it seemed that there was only the other person in each other's eyes.

Wang Jiang looked at him with great enthusiasm not far away, leaning against a big tree not far away.

At one moment, Chen Yi and Bai Shifeng moved, and both sides rushed out quickly towards each other like cheetahs, followed by fists and feet, making the forest pound.

The two sides collided fiercely, and the force of the fists and feet was strong. They called the vital points. Wang Jiang next to him was frightened. He imagined that he was in the position of Chen Yi or the senior brother, and found that no matter who he faced, he might be defeated in just a few strokes, and he might be injured.

Chen Yi and Bai Shifeng fought, and the heat on his head was steaming and sweating like slurry. Both sides used Taizu's long fist. After hundreds of moves, Bai Shifeng forced Chen Yi back with one punch and shouted at his junior brother.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jiang on the side called out and then threw a sword at the two of them.

Chen Yi and Bai Shifeng took the swords respectively, and the long sword was unsheathed and fought again. The sound of the iron sword colliding was particularly harsh, and the sparks were splattered. The situation was more than ten times more dangerous than the previous fists and feet collisions. After all, it was a weapon in hand, and if there was a slight mistake, it would be a three-foot-splash of blood.

With the sword in hand, both of them used Qingfeng sword technique, which was light and quick, and the same move was fatal.

After nearly ten minutes of such a fierce competition, it finally ended with Bai Shifeng's sword crossing Chen Yi's neck.

"I won't come, I won't come, I'm so tired. Thank you, Brother Shi, for showing mercy," Chen Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand and smiled, taking a step back to avoid Bai Shifeng's sword edge.

Bai Shifeng put his sword in his arms, looked at Chen Yi and exclaimed in a little amazement: "Brother Chen, if I hadn't watched you grow up with my own eyes, I could not believe that the progress of practicing martial arts alone would be so terrible. In just two months, you have grown to this point. You can compete with me for so long. Compared with you, I feel that I have lived to a dog for the past thirty years."

Chen Yi threw the long sword back to the sheath, sat down with his back against the big tree, fanning himself and curled his lips: "Brother Shi, you can pull it down. I know you are giving in to me. You are feeding me specifically. Otherwise, I will not be able to hold on for a moment in your hands."

Chen Yi has been in contact with people from the Iron Sword Sect for more than two months. The previous month he practiced basic skills of boxing, footing, swordsmanship, etc. He was also learning various basic knowledge about martial arts in his spare time. By the way, he was also comparing some human anatomical pictures online on the Internet. With the practical experience of several brothers from the Iron Sword Sect, it can be said that Chen Yi's understanding of the human body has exceeded them to a very high level.

The next month, he learned almost all the basic knowledge. Chen Yi's muscles and bones had been opened, his moves were proficient, and his internal strength had reached a certain scale. Then he began practical practice. Until today, Chen Yi was already very familiar with everyone except the chubby second senior brother of the Tiejian Sect.

They would give Chen Yi a practical trick every day. At first, it was Wang Jiang, then the lazy third senior brother Tian Changlin, and then the eldest senior brother Bai Shifeng. Liu Shancha also gave Chen Yi a trick from time to time.

The fat second senior brother Chen Yi also knew that the other party was called Zhang Dafa, but he was not very familiar with him. Because he was scared when he first met him, he was a little scared every time he saw Chen Yi.

This month's practical exercise has been effective for Chen Yi. He has been fighting back and forth with the senior brother of the Iron Sword Sect for more than ten minutes. Of course, Chen Yi knew that the other party was deliberately letting go of water, so he still knew that he still had this.

Bai Shifeng and Chen Yi have been in contact for a day or two. Knowing that this little brother is easy-going and not so particular, he also learned from Chen Yi and found a place to sit down. He looked at him and smiled and said, "Although I am feeding you, it's really rare for you. I can still hold on for so long under my sixth level of skill. As long as I don't take the initiative to die, I am already qualified to go to the world. All you lack is some experience and the speed. The most important thing is that you have never seen blood. These will depend on yourself in the future. Our Iron Sword Sect has nothing to teach you. With your current ability, no ordinary ten people can do anything to you. Even if you do twice as much, you can retreat calmly. It's only two months..."

"Yes, two months, to be honest, I didn't dare to think that I had such a big change two months ago," Chen Yi smiled and felt a little incredible.

After he understood some martial arts knowledge and human body structure, he had already obtained the third level of Quanzhenxin Method from Liushancha, and was already practicing, and his internal strength was increasing day by day. Although he could not be as thick as Bai Shifeng, who had practiced his internal strength for 10 or 20 years, he was a small achievement, especially the quality was still three points higher.

After all, although Bai Shifeng's internal strength is several times stronger than Chen Yi, he has only practiced the Quanzhenxin method to the second level. Chen Yi's third level exercise route has improved the quality of the internal strength. As long as he is given enough time, in terms of internal strength alone, it is not difficult for Chen Yi to catch up with the other party in terms of quantity. At that time, it would be a different situation for the two sides to compete again.

Chen Yi has not only practiced martial arts in the past two months. He still focuses more on his studies. Now he has finished learning all the cultural knowledge in junior high school, has begun to get involved in high school courses, and has even learned the level of his second year in high school!

Chen Yi also found this a bit magical, but after summarizing it up, he took it for granted. After all, the knowledge in junior high school is not difficult. He once learned it, and now he is just a review. Another thing is that he practices martial arts, especially after having internal strength, he is full of energy and his thinking becomes more agile. This is the key to his rapid progress in learning.

Sometimes Chen Yi was thinking that if he focused all his energy on martial arts practice, he would definitely be more powerful than now, and he would probably be better than Bai Shifeng, the number one master in the Iron Sword Sect, but that was just a thought. As an adult thinking Chen Yi, he naturally knew that although he could not see too many benefits of cultural knowledge at present, he would definitely have a promising future than the martial arts he practiced at present.

He can still tell the difference between importance and importance.

Bai Shifeng smiled and said, "As for martial arts, the future depends on your own fortune..." He said here, and he paused for a moment, thinking that there was something that Chen Yi had to know in advance, so he thought about it and said, "Brother Chen, two months ago, the treasure cup you gave you had already exchanged it for money, and obtained a huge amount of silver of 13,500 taels. He should have obtained more, but if you are too greedy, there is a risk."

"This money is too much, and we are not at ease. So we have put 10,000 taels of it for you, Brother Chen. We know you won't want it, so we didn't ask for your reward in the past two months. They were all withdrawn from it. Now there are more than 9,900 taels left."

"For the other 3,500 taels of silver, we spent 2,000 taels to buy a restaurant in Hangzhou City, and spent about 1,000 taels to make some money. Now the restaurant is operated by the second junior brother, and it has already made some revenue. We all understand the principle of buying a business for a long time. The restaurant is roughly estimated to have an income of 500 taels every year. We discussed it and left 30% of our shares for Brother Chen. Please understand this. After all, the operating expenses of the restaurant and the lives of our brothers in Tiejianmen are also costing money..."

After hearing what Bai Shifeng said, Chen Yi felt quite helpless. These ancient people were too stubborn and said he was stupid. He knew that he was very silly. You said he was smart, but he didn't hesitate at all. Chen Yi really didn't know how to describe them.

Chen Yi is not easy to say about this. After all, the people you come into contact with in the growth and the people you come into contact with in the growth stage will affect a person’s views throughout his life. It’s not that there were no cunning people in the ancients. There were many such people, but Chen Yi was lucky enough to meet the people of Tiejianmen and others.

"You are so real. I said that no matter how many of them, you will think I am pretentious. Let's just do it..." Chen Yi shrugged, and then didn't mention this, asking curiously: "That cup is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. When it falls out, you have to turn the starting point and wave? Although you have dealt with it properly, I believe you have put it away, do you know the final destination of the cup, Brother Shi?"

Bai Shifeng did not answer Chen Yi’s last question, but looked at Chen Yi seriously and said, “Brother Chen, do you think we are not jealous of the more than 10,000 taels of silver? Let me tell you the truth. When facing such a sum of money, everyone has the intention to kill people. The reason why we arrange this now is because our brothers are more optimistic about your future. That amount of money is indeed a lot, but if we offend you because of money, we all believe that we will lose more in the future. No one can say anything about the future, but intuition tells us that this is the case!”

Sure enough, none of them are fools. When you think others are fools, you are the biggest fool.

When Chen Yi was slightly stunned, Bai Shifeng changed the subject and said as if he had never said the previous words: "We have asked about the whereabouts of that cup. After all, it is a rare treasure in the world. Once it appears, it will naturally not be able to stop. It finally went to the palace and is now on the desk of the prince Zhu Houzhao. It is rumored that the prince is so precious to the cup that he has to sleep with his arms around him..."

Zhu Houzhao? Emperor Zhengde? Is he still the crown prince now? Ming Dynasty?

He keenly captured this information. Although Chen Yi had only a slight understanding of history, he still had some impression when he heard Zhu Houzhao.

Thoughts flashed, Chen Yi thought for a while and asked, "How old is the prince now?"

"At fourteen years old, I heard that I was already helping with the government affairs. I don't know the details. We who are in the world don't know much about the court," Bai Shifeng said casually.
