The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 95: Evil guests come to the door
Once everyone's understanding of the situation satisfied Wu Chengyu, it was time to unleash their full potential.

He chose one-on-one teaching at this time. He found a quiet room, called each disciple in one by one, and then obediently took off his shirt and placed his evil hand on their backs.

Next, he would channel his internal energy into the opponent's body. As long as the opponent did not resist, he would allow the internal energy to flow freely. After about ten breaths, Wu Chengyu would see the meridian diagram in the opponent's body, achieving the effect of internal vision.

Then, they continuously input their internal energy, circulating it through several cycles according to the internal energy path of the Guiyuan Heart Sutra, until the disciples, who had already memorized the internal energy path diagram, verified each other's work and memorized every circulation trajectory.

After everyone has had their turn, their practice is monitored at all times. Those who learn slowly are pulled back into the secret room to start over, and this process is repeated over and over again.

This approach is somewhat counterproductive, as it eliminates the need for disciples to develop their own sense of Qi and gradually accumulate internal energy to cultivate internal skills.

Generally speaking, this approach makes disciples less sensitive to the circulation of internal energy, causing them to lose the initial insight when they first feel the energy and only be able to imitate without understanding.

Basically, it will be very difficult for these disciples to create their own techniques or become masters at the level of the Five Greats in the future.

But this is a low-level martial arts world. Wu Chengyu no longer considers himself to be a mid-level martial artist. He has internal energy cultivation, and if he masters it, there are advanced techniques to follow. He can become a martial arts master eventually. Are these insights useful?

Wu Chengyu used this method to help each of his disciples familiarize themselves with the energy circulation path until everyone could correctly circulate their internal energy. It took more than three months in this way. All of these disciples had achieved a basic understanding of the technique and could easily make mistakes in their energy circulation, so he no longer needed to remedy their mistakes.

Having spent nearly half a year here, Wu Chengyu suddenly felt a bit annoyed. Teaching disciples was really not a good job. If he hadn't killed these people, they might not have even mastered the basics yet.

He felt that this was the end of it and simply let the twenty-odd people roam free. He only came a few times to teach them the Eagle Transformation Grappling Technique and some basic light-body skills. The rest of the time, he stayed at home practicing martial arts and reading scriptures.

Until his uncles couldn't stand it anymore, they found him a job at Wuweilou Restaurant.

As Wu Chengyu led A Ku by the hand, they slowly arrived at the training ground. At this time, the Wu family disciples were either practicing footwork on the plum blossom stakes, performing grass-flying maneuvers on the obstacle course, or practicing the Eagle Transformation Grappling Hand. None of them dared to slack off.

When he met Wu Chengyu, apart from his two older cousins ​​who called him Chengyu, the rest of them all addressed him as Twenty-First Brother.

Only a few of the youngest, just eight or nine years old, greeted Ah Ku first, obediently calling her "Big Sister".

Wu Chengyu checked their progress in internal cultivation and corrected any mistakes in their moves. Not long after, he heard a commotion not far away. He saw an elder leading the head of the third branch of the Wu family to welcome a group of guests in.

Although they were guests, the leader seemed arrogant and domineering, with his head held high. He had greasy hair and a flower stuck in his hair. While it was customary for men in some parts of the Song Dynasty to wear flowers, this man was really asking for trouble.

As they walked, that mouth kept finding fault with Wujiapo, and Wu Chengyu could hear it clearly even from dozens of meters away.

"I have arrived, and your clan chief did not even come to the gate to greet me personally. He is indeed a country bumpkin who does not know etiquette..."

Wu Chengyu hadn't felt like hitting anyone in a long time, and he really wanted to go over and slap someone to feel better. He turned his gaze to the oldest member of the Wu family: "Nineteenth Brother, what are these guys doing here?"

The nineteenth brother mentioned by Wu Chengyu is named Wu Chengping. He belongs to the eldest branch of the Wu family. The first eighteen members of the Cheng generation in the Wu family have all come of age and are basically studying or managing some of the family's businesses.

Wu Chengping couldn't hear what the man was saying, but judging from his arrogant attitude, he knew he was an unwelcome guest. He was well-informed in the eldest branch of the family. "I heard that he's someone who recently moved from Hangzhou to Suzhou. A while ago, he sent someone to our door asking to buy the iron mine outside Suzhou that our second branch of the Wu family owns. Later, he even set his sights on the shops of the eldest branch in Suzhou. The price he offered was outrageous, and the clan leader refused without even thinking about it."

Later, some people caused trouble for our eldest branch's properties in Suzhou, but we heard that this person had some background, and the clan leader's intention was to avoid conflict as much as possible.

Wu Chengyu nodded and looked at the man again, until they entered the council hall.

This guy must be Shi Miyuan's cousin; he was the one who did what happened at Wuweilou yesterday.

According to Wu Chengyu, the best way to deal with such a person is to be clean and decisive, and simply sneak up on their door on a dark and windy night and take them down.

However, this is the thinking of martial arts practitioners, which is too simplistic. They are used to being alone and can run away at any time if they cause trouble.

But now Wu Chengyu belongs to a large family. There are more than a thousand people in Wujiapo with the surname Wu and other surnames. The population of Gusu City is also close to a thousand. Everyone has a family to support.

This person represents Shi Miyuan, a powerful minister in the Southern Song Dynasty for the next twenty years, who will hold absolute power. Putting aside whether he can be killed, it would be a loss if the Wu family were implicated after he was killed.

Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're skilled in martial arts now. There are only a few top masters in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but how could the royal family not have any masters? Even top masters like Bai Yuchan, who didn't appear in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, were granted titles by the royal family.

Hong Qigong often sneaked into the palace to steal food. Presumably, people knew he was highly skilled in martial arts and only frequented the imperial kitchen, so no one bothered to stop him.

But if Hong Qigong suddenly had the idea to sneak into the emperor's bedside in the middle of the night, let's see if he could succeed.

In the world of martial arts, how could an emperor live a peaceful life without truly skilled warriors under his command?

Just as Wu Zhengliang said yesterday, family matters are not as simple as fighting and killing. This guy came to Suzhou City with more than just his intentions towards the Wu family.

The result will simply be that the local bullies in Suzhou unite to teach him a lesson, and then compromise by each offering him some benefits.

Suzhou was one of the most developed cities in the Southern Song Dynasty. The families here had deep-rooted power structures, and even Shi Miyuan would not easily antagonize the powerful families of Suzhou.

This guy's previous attempts to cause trouble were just meant to annoy people; if things really escalated, Shi Miyuan wouldn't allow it. These politicians play a much more sophisticated game.

Realizing that this was a political struggle among the upper and middle classes, which would ultimately amount to nothing more than compromise and mutual exploitation, Wu Chengyu stopped paying attention.

He then continued to check on the progress of each disciple's internal cultivation, demonstrated the Eagle Transformation Grappling Hand again, answered questions, and corrected everyone's movements. He did this for a good half hour. He was not physically tired, but his mind was a little weary.

Just as he was about to finish his teaching duties for the day and accompany A-Ku on a boat trip on Taihu Lake, everyone who had been in the conference hall came out again.

　This is the third update today. Barring unforeseen circumstances, there will be three updates every day from now on.
