Chapter 343: The benefits of oral instructions come as they come
Chapter 343: The benefits of oral instructions come as they come
Si Tianye saw Liang Qu in deep thought and took the initiative to speak.
“Any martial arts that are ranked as superior mid-level or above, in theory, have the opportunity to evolve into the supernatural powers of a grandmaster, and display all kinds of incredible abilities.
For example, the famous Feathered Hands, which evolved into a magical power that allowed one to weave robes out of thin air with one's flesh hands, making them impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire, and lasting for several days.
There is also an eternal flow of light, leaving marks in the void that will last for a long time. Ordinary people will lose their souls when they see it, and warriors will suffer skin and flesh torn when they touch it.
Of course, theories are just theories, and that doesn’t mean anyone has actually achieved it. Only what has been truly achieved can be called a true technique! "
Liang Qu suddenly realized: "The real art is derived from martial arts. Is there a real path to supernatural power?"
Si Tianye bowed: "That's right."
Liang Qu was immediately puzzled: "The Qinglong Killing Sutra is a fragment, and the Sutra Repository cannot find the complete method, which proves that it has been lost long ago. How can the Sutra Repository determine that it is a real technique?"
"The fragments contain the master's spirit, and the spirit and the description in the fragments are exactly the same."
Liang Qu understood and was slightly disappointed: "Since it is a real technique, does it mean that I can't choose?"
The imperial edict clearly stated that the "superior" merits and powers should be chosen, but it did not mention choosing the "true skills" merits and powers.
"No, it can be changed!"
There are twists and turns, and there is a bright future.
Liang Qu's eyes lit up: "Why?"
Si Tianye said: "Lord Liang, you don't know that there are countless lost traditions in the world, and the fragments in the Half-Scroll Pavilion of the Sutra Repository are more than the complete ones in the Full-Scroll Pavilion.
The fragments are incomplete, so the effect is naturally hard to understand, and the classification is controversial. The Qinglong Killing Sutra has the charm of a master, and it can even be considered a relatively clear one. "
The classification of "Qinglong Shajing" is unclear, and many people have done a lot of repeated research on it and argued about it.
The Sutra Repository does not have enough energy to conduct research on a fragment of martial arts.
The truth is that every once in a while, the Sutra Repository would hold a meeting to discuss the grading, classification, and compilation of martial arts, and the fragments only occupied a small part of the discussion.
If a certain martial art does not produce results in a short period of time, it will be put aside and replaced with another one, and this cycle will repeat three times.
Si Tianye briefly described the meeting scene, which shocked Liang Qu's small Sutra Repository, and then led to the main point.
"With so many fragments piling up on the bookshelves, the Sutra Repository will not allow them to become useless books, so there is a unique cross-level subsidy method to allow as many fragments as possible to be circulated."
"Cross-level subsidies?"
Si Shenfu added: "To put it simply, you can use the authority of a lower level and some additional merits to exchange for the incomplete skills of a higher level.
There are many people who make similar choices, exchanging the superior power for the fragments of the true art, and the middle power for the superior fragments. I have the impression that nearly 30% of them make such choices.
If the incomplete chapter could be completed, that would be even better, and the extra subsidy merit could be returned. Using this method, many skills from the Half-Scroll Pavilion were transferred to the Full-Scroll Pavilion.
As for the specific subsidy method, it depends on the specific situation. The definition and rules of each layer are different. There are two types: selective merit rights and non-selective merit rights. The strength and grade of the redeemer will also be..."
Liang Qu was overwhelmed by this: "How can I exchange for the Qinglong Killing Sutra?"
"Sir Liang, you are a seventh-rank Du Shui Lang, a great title, and have the right to select superior merits. Logically, you should use up the right to select merits and add two great merits, but you have the Holy Emperor's order, so one more great merit is enough."
Liang Qu was stunned: "Can the Holy Emperor's order allow me to reduce the exchange requirements?"
Si Shenfu shook his head: "That's not the case, you have only been on the job for a short time and don't know much.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel would jointly prepare an internal list every year, listing young talents from various localities and departments.
Those who are on this list can receive certain degrees of exemptions and preferential treatment, whether they are refining medicine, learning martial arts, skills, forging weapons, promotion, or appointment. This is a unique form of support from the imperial court.
Sir Liang has received the Holy Emperor's oral order, and he will definitely be on the list this year. In a few months, the Sutra Repository has the right to act at its discretion."
Liang Qu grasped the key point: "Is there no support for Huan Baozhi?"
Si Tianye and Si Shenfu looked at each other and shook their heads.
Si Shenfu reminded: "Refine medicine, forge weapons, change martial arts..."
Liang Qu understood.
Si Tianye put down the catalog with the corner folded: "Lord Liang, are you sure you want to exchange for the Qinglong Killing Sutra?
As soon as Shen Fuyi said that, I also felt that perhaps it was the fragment that Lord Liang was looking for. Judging from its power and performance, it all fits the bill."
"Are you sure that the one in the Sutra Repository is the second half?"
"Confirmed. Several deans have personally annotated it. There can be no mistakes. If there is a mistake in dividing the front and back volumes, please write down the reason. The Sutra Repository will return the great merit and the right to select merits."
"Change!"
Qinglong Seven Killing Spears, Qinglong Killing Sutra.
The names are highly similar, and coupled with the corresponding feature descriptions, Liang Qu chose to trust his intuition!
Si Tianye and Si Shenfu confirmed that Liang Qu wanted to exchange for the Qinglong Shajing, and gave him a booklet and a box of ink. Inside the booklet was a standard application form. Liang Qu applied for the Qinglong Shajing on one of the pages, agreed to the other party's use of the credit, stamped his own seal of title and official position, watched the two leave to find the chief clerk, and carried the small suitcase back to the camp.
The small suitcase was stuffed into the bottom of the boat. Awei flapped his wings and stayed behind to guard the boat. Liang Qu went straight to the grove behind the camp.
There were stone tables and stone benches in the woods, all of which were made from the remnants of stone slabs used to build the dam. Except for Xu Yuelong and Ran Zhongshi, who were leading the inspection of Qiugong Dike, Xiang Fangsu, Ke Wenbin and others were all there.
Four people were playing cards around the stone table, while the others were watching.
"Ninety! Eat!" Xiang Fangsu threw down a card, "I thought you two were dismissed and stayed in the imperial capital! I didn't expect you to come back with Ke Wenbin."
"Eighty thousand!" Lu Kaiyun picked up a card. "It's a long story. The two of us were dismissed from our posts."
"Actually?"
"In fact, my father paid a lot of money. The Ministry of Personnel said that I would be suspended from my post until next year. After the New Year, I will be demoted to a lower level and continue to serve."
Bai Yinbin was overjoyed: "That's great, you two don't have to leave!"
Ren Yipeng nodded: "Yes, we don't need to leave. We can relax for a few months. We can eat, drink and have fun before the New Year. We don't have to do anything."
Ran Ying was curious: "How much silver did you lose?"
"Ahem, don't ask that, bro, you need some dignity."
Lu Kaiyun said: "By the way, Ran Ying, when your eldest brother comes back, remember to ask him to go to the convoy to pick up the things. Uncle Ran asked me to bring you a lot of things.
You guys are the same, you are almost treating the diplomatic mission as an escort agency, there are more than a dozen carts of miscellaneous stuff, let me make a deal, everyone who sees it gets a share, I have to take a commission! 10% per cart!"
Xiang Fangsu laughed loudly: "It's your bad luck that we don't even have a chance to return to the emperor!"
Lu Kaiyun curled his lips: "If you say so, then I have to reveal a piece of news to disgust you."
Everyone became curious.
"Ke Wenbin came back to the capital with us, but we haven't seen him for several days. Whenever he has time, he goes to the Su Mansion. Can you guess what he's been doing?"
"Fuck, no way, so disgusting?"
"Ugh!"
Ke Wenbin shouted loudly: "You are jealous, jealous!"
"Bah! You are so shameless!"
"A man should put his career first and his love life second. Wenbin, you are on the wrong track!"
"The sea of suffering is endless, it is time to turn back!"
Everyone was talking at the same time, making Ke Wenbin feel overwhelmed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone and quickly changed the subject: "Ah Shui is here. Kaiyun, Yipeng, where are the bows you prepared? Take them out and show Ah Shui. If they are cheap ones, I'm sorry that Ah Shui has been hiding this from you."
"You interrupted me on purpose, didn't you? Now you know you are embarrassed?"
“Don’t worry, safekeeping is a good thing. Yipeng, you go get it and I’ll take it?”
"I'll go, Ah Shui, wait for me."
Ren Yipeng put the cards on the table, and in a moment he brought back a large rhinoceros-skin box.
Ke Wenbin put away the cards on the table and made room.
Ren Yipeng laid the rhino-hide box flat and without keeping Liang Qu in suspense, he reached out to break the lock and opened the lid, revealing the large bow inside the box, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The velvet cloth is pure red, the bow is jet black, and they shine brightly under the sunlight.
The shape is perfect throughout, without any signs of incongruity or carving, as if the lines were naturally designed to be like this.
A great bow that is almost perfect in appearance!
"Yuanmu Bow! Awesome or not?"
"Fuck, is this true? Isn't it Uncle Liu's favorite treasure?"
"You can get this thing? You're pretty awesome."
When Ren Yipeng heard the surprised voices of the people around him, he held his head high.
Bai Yinbin looked suspicious: "How did you two get it? Did you steal it?"
“Bullshit, my father and Uncle Lu knew that Ah Shui helped a lot, so how could they be stingy? They specially went to the Liu family to buy it!
Uncle Liu didn't want to sell it at first, saying that seeing the object reminds him of the past, and seeing the bow reminds him of his youth.
My dad couldn't stop him from drinking three times!"
