Gone.

"That's it?"

Uncle Da was somewhat surprised, thinking there was a lot of gold and silver treasure hidden inside.

The result was just a sword and a stack of books—how shabby!

This can be called a treasure?

"Sigh, these are all things I'm not interested in. I hate reading the most."

The arrogant Wen also sighed, his interest waning and his expectations instantly dropping to zero.

Even if you gave it to him for free, he wouldn't take it!

Although Uncle Da and the arrogant Wen looked down on him

But Long Yan treasured it as if it were a priceless gem.

First, Long Yan drew his sword.

It's obvious at a glance that this is the sword of the Hermit of the Thatched Cottage!

Not only is it incredibly sharp, but it is also a magical weapon, capable of slaying ghosts and exorcising demons with ease.

of course,

Long Yan also doesn't know swordsmanship. The martial arts he learned at Wulong Academy are mainly hard skills and internal energy cultivation.

"This looks like the Celestial Master Sword!"

When Long Yan drew his sword, Master Changmei, with his vast knowledge and keen insight, recognized that this sword was no ordinary object.

"Master, what kind of sword is the Celestial Master Sword?" Little Dragon asked, eager to learn new knowledge.

Even Long Yan didn't quite understand why this sword was called the Celestial Master Sword.

The Hermit of the Thatched Cottage was probably not a Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Mansion; he was merely a rogue cultivator from the Xuanmen sect.

"Celestial Master is a title or rank in Taoism, just like Vajra Arhat in Buddhism."

Master Long Eyebrows explained to his disciples, saying:

"The so-called Celestial Master Sword is a sword used by a master whose strength has reached the Celestial Master realm."

This kind of sword has magical fluctuations on its blade, making it extremely sharp for killing ghosts and demons.

According to Taoist rules, the Celestial Master's Sword is generally passed down only to the last disciple, a single lineage.

Master Long Eyebrows knows a lot. After all, he lived to be ninety years old and was very familiar with all the sects and legends in the martial arts world.

"Master, according to you, if Junior Brother Long Yan has taken the Celestial Master Sword, wouldn't he have become the closed-door disciple of the reclusive master who left behind the mechanism box?"

Uncle Da discovered the blind spot.

obviously,

This reclusive master from five hundred years ago left behind the Celestial Master Sword so that he could pass it on to Long Yan five hundred years later.

Master Long Eyebrows also realized this problem and said somewhat angrily:

"Damn it! How dare they try to steal my disciple!"

Master Changmei was afraid that Long Yan would switch from Buddhism to Taoism.

Then Wulong Academy lost a martial arts genius.

but,

The reclusive masters who left behind the Celestial Master Sword have all been dead for five hundred years.

Master Changmei couldn't possibly hold a grudge against a dead man, and said to Long Yan:

"Long Yan, I don't object to you learning Taoist arts, but you must not neglect our Buddhist martial arts."

Long Yan nodded; this was also his own thought.

Sheath the Celestial Master Sword

Long Yan began to peruse the stack of ancient books, all priceless treasures left behind by the Hermit of the Thatched Cottage.

The first one,

Qimen Dunjia

It contains records of Taoist arts and techniques, documenting the profound and extensive Taoist teachings learned by the hermit of the thatched cottage throughout his life.

If one masters the technique, one can at least become a terrestrial immortal like the hermit of the thatched cottage.

The second one,

【Secrets of Maoshan Talismans】

This book records Maoshan magic, especially Maoshan talismans, and details the drawing method of each type of talisman.

The third one,

It is an internal energy cultivation manual called "Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi".

The fourth book,

It is a sword manual, titled "Sword Twenty-Three".

……

Long Yan was shocked!

The hermit of the thatched cottage actually managed to obtain "Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi" and "Sword Twenty-Three"!

At the beginning,

When parting ways with the hermit of the thatched cottage, Long Yan told him that he enjoyed practicing martial arts.

If possible, I'd like to go back to the Ming Dynasty and collect some martial arts manuals for myself.

Long Yan didn't have high hopes either, after all, the Hermit of the Thatched Cottage was a Taoist priest who didn't get involved in the conflicts of the martial world.

Unexpectedly, he actually found the top-level internal energy cultivation technique, "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi," as well as the top-level sword manual, "Sword Twenty-Three."

This is the legendary martial arts technique from the Hong Kong film "The Storm Riders".

Although "The Storm Riders" is a martial arts drama and takes place in ancient times, it is not set in Hong Kong in the late 80s.

but,

Because the hermit of the thatched cottage was from ancient times, he traveled back to ancient times and found the unparalleled martial arts in the novel "The Storm Riders".

It spanned five hundred years and came into the hands of Long Yan.

"Layman, thank you so much."

Long Yan sincerely thanked the hermit of the thatched cottage, for these two martial arts manuals were truly invaluable.

After all, the people who mastered these two martial arts were Xiong Ba and the Sword Saint, both big shots in the martial arts world.

They were actually willing to hand over their martial arts skills!

It seems that the hermit of the thatched cottage also paid a heavy price.

Unfortunately, Long Yan no longer had the chance to thank him in person.

Because the two were separated by five hundred years.

Long Yan lived in the late 80s.

The Hermit of the Thatched Cottage lived during the Ming Dynasty, five hundred years ago.

"Junior brother, are these books martial arts manuals?"

Uncle Da saw the joy in Long Yan's eyes and guessed it was a martial arts manual.

After all, Long Yan was a martial arts fanatic, and learning martial arts excited him!

"These two are Taoist manuals, and these two are martial arts manuals!"

Long Yan didn't mind letting Uncle Da take a look and handed it over.

Although these secret manuals are very valuable, they shouldn't be kept hidden away.

"Three parts return to the origin. Sword Twenty-Three."

Uncle Da glanced through it briefly, read out the name of the martial arts manual, and asked in confusion:

"How come I've never heard of these two martial arts styles in the martial arts world? Master, have you heard of them?"

Uncle Da looked at Master Long Eyebrows.

Master Long Eyebrows seemed to recall something, and said:

"These seem to be two supreme martial arts, no less than our Shaolin Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing."

"The Three-Part Return to Origin Qi is the internal energy of Xiong Ba, the leader of the World Society, and the Twenty-Three Swords is the sword technique of the Sword Saint Dugu Jian."

"These are centuries-old stories from the martial arts world. With the passing of that era of martial arts, these two martial arts techniques should have been lost long ago. I never expected them to be hidden in our Wulong Courtyard!"

Master Changmei was also very surprised.

Long Yan was very surprised that Master Changmei could tell the story of Storm Riders, a dream collaboration.

But it makes sense.

The story of "Storm Riders" took place five hundred years ago, so it's perfectly normal for Master Changmei to know about the unofficial history of the martial arts world.

"So it's a lost, peerless martial art!"

Uncle Da also instantly became somewhat interested.

But when he opened the manual on the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi, he couldn't even withstand the first page!

Three seconds, then give up.

"It's so complicated! I don't understand it at all!"

Uncle Da shook his head and handed the manual back to Long Yan.

He decided not to make his life any more difficult.
