Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

White Crane Fist is the foundation-building fist technique of the Giant Whale Gang, and the stance training is called White Crane Stance.

Jiang Weichen simply modified it slightly and incorporated the Songhe Fist, and also borrowed the breathing method of health-preserving exercises.

Jiang Weichen's arms were like crane wings. When he inhaled, the air entered his nose continuously and flowed through his whole body. His arms rose naturally, as if he was flying.

When exhaling, the air comes out of the mouth quickly but not hurriedly, the body is suddenly empty, the waste gas is discharged, and the arms are pressed down, as if taking over.

This cycle repeats itself over and over again. With each breath, fresh air enters the nose and turbid air exits the body. Qi and blood surge throughout the body like a rushing river.

With its ups and downs, it looks like a crane soaring in the sky.

After finishing the static exercises, we practice dynamic exercises to stretch our bones and muscles and strengthen our body.

An hour passed like this, Jiang Weichen finished his practice, and his stomach started to growl.

The foundation-building process of Songhequan is not as gentle and slow as health-preserving exercises. It progresses very quickly, but it cannot temper the internal organs and consumes a lot of energy.

If the nutrition is not enough, the foundation will be damaged.

There is no clinic in Xinghua Village, and no medicinal herbs for food supplements, so Jiang Weichen can only survive by eating.

Fortunately, the Liu Mansion didn't have much, but it had plenty of food.

With so many fields, many of which are tax-free, there is no telling how much grain is piled up.

Jiang Weichen finished his training and was about to go down the mountain to Liu's house to eat.

But when he saw Jiang Tianxiao coming up the mountain, he was no longer in a hurry and just stood in front of the grave waiting.

Seven or eight days had passed since the incident at the Liu Mansion, and his second uncle's family had not looked for him.

Knowing that he was guarding the tomb, he did not come up.

Jiang Weichen knew that they had resentment towards him.

He resented himself for not letting those people go for Tianxiao.

Although Jiang Tianxiao was safe and sound in the end, there was already a gap in his heart.

Intent on keeping his distance, Jiang Weichen didn't go to meet them for fear of getting them into trouble in the future.

Jiang Tianxiao came to the grave carrying a basket and looked at his elder brother with complicated eyes.

He really thought he was going to die that day, but he was rescued in the end.

But the two women who held him hostage had their heads chopped off, and blood flowed all over him.

He was frightened and was in a daze for four or five days after returning home.

He had never even seen such a scene, let alone experienced it personally.

After recovering, he seemed to have grown a lot in an instant.

Jiang Weichen used practical actions to make him understand that in this world, apart from parents, no one can be fully trusted.

Jiang Tianxiao said in a somewhat cold tone: "My father asked me to bring you some food and asked if you want to go back and live there."

Jiang Weichen could sense the alienation in Jiang Tianxiao's tone and expression.

Jiang Tianxiao was no longer the child who pestered him all day long. He seemed to have grown up in an instant.

Although this was the result Jiang Weichen wanted, he still felt a little sad.

"No, I'll stay here on the mountain and mourn at my parents' grave for a month, then I'll leave."

Jiang Tianxiao said nothing, put down the food, and said, "The village chief asked me to ask you, what should we do with the Liu family's fields? The autumn harvest is almost here."

The Liu family was gone, but the fields were still there. The tenants had witnessed Jiang Weichen's killing spree and did not dare to touch the fields at all.

Even though much of the land originally belonged to them.

"The fields that previously belonged to each family were returned to each family, and the wasteland reclaimed by the Liu family was divided equally among the villagers."

Jiang Weichen didn't care about any of this.

Jiang Tianxiao continued, "The Liu family still has a dozen or so young men. I heard they said they were bought by the Liu family. How will they deal with them?"

Jiang Weichen then remembered that the Liu family was short of labor last year, so they did buy back more than ten teenagers.

"Let them decide whether to leave or stay. If they choose to stay, then have your second uncle talk to the village chief and give them some land.

The village will help them in the first few years, and in two years they will be strong enough to support themselves."

After Jiang Weichen finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "If Second Uncle and Second Aunt are interested, you can pick two obedient ones to adopt. Otherwise, your family's fields will definitely be too busy next year."

The second uncle's family now cultivates their own land, and they also have the land left by Jiang Weichen's father, and now they can also get a share of the wasteland reclaimed by the Liu family.

Next year, it will definitely be too busy for my second uncle, second aunt and Jiang Tianxiao to handle everything.

It is indeed feasible to adopt two young men who are about to become strong working people.

Jiang Tianxiao nodded and said, "I will tell my parents. Whether to adopt him or not depends on their opinion."

Then Jiang Tianxiao said in a serious tone: "I want to practice martial arts!"

Jiang Weichen was a little surprised, but it was also reasonable. He asked, "Why?"

"You once said that in this world, apart from parents, no one can be fully trusted. Now I understand.

If I were as skilled as you that day, I wouldn't need anyone to save me."

Jiang Weichen could hear resentment in Tian Xiao's tone.

"Martial arts training requires resources. There's a saying that goes 'the poor are good at literature, the rich are good at martial arts.' As an ordinary farmer's son, I'm not qualified to practice martial arts."

Although Jiang Weichen can provide resources to Jiang Tianxiao, it depends on how determined he is to practice martial arts.

Without that determination and Duan Yu, Xu Zhu would not achieve anything even if he practiced for his whole life.

If you don't have martial arts skills, it's better to be an ordinary citizen in peace and stability than to be a playboy in the world of martial arts.

"If you can do it, I can do it too." Jiang Tianxiao said angrily.

Jiang Weichen shook his head and laughed, "Didn't you ask me how my little finger broke more than half a year ago?

Let me tell you now, as soon as I left Xinghua Village, I fainted from hunger. A beggar bullied me and asked me to beg for ten cents as tribute. If the tribute was not enough, he would cut off one of my hands.

Thanks to my efforts, I only broke my little finger. But the task for the next day was 100 wen. If I couldn't do it, my hand would be broken."

Jiang Weichen asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Jiang Tianxiao looked at Jiang Weichen's right little finger. Is it so cruel outside? Even crueler than in the village.

Jiang Tianxiao knew that his father used to work for the Liu family and only earned two or three cents a day.

But he didn't know how to beg for a hundred coins a day outside.

Jiang Tian smiled and replied, "Escape, go somewhere else."

"Escape? There are spies everywhere, how can you escape? Even if you escape, you will still be bullied in other places. Do you still want to run away?"

Jiang Tianxiao was stunned and asked, "Then what did you do at that time?"

"Kill him. That night I sneaked into his room and killed him. I cut him into pieces."

Jiang Weichen spoke the most murderous words in the calmest tone.

Jiang Tianxiao's face turned pale, and the scene from a few days ago came back to his mind.

Jiang Weichen said: "If you don't practice martial arts, I won't tell you this.

But now you want to learn martial arts, will you still be willing to stay in Xinghua Village after practicing martial arts?"

Jiang Weichen didn't wait for his answer and said directly: "You won't, after practicing martial arts, you will definitely want to go out and venture into the world.

I even thought about being a hero, but the world is cruel. People won't let you go just because you're a good person. If you don't learn the skills well, you might die at any time."

Although there is no struggle between good and evil in the world today, struggles exist all the time.

"In Xinghua Village, although life is monotonous, at least I can live a stable life.

Do you still want to practice martial arts now? You are the only child that your uncle and aunt have now.

Jiang Tianxiao didn't know how to answer for a moment. He wanted to practice martial arts just to protect himself and his parents.

But after hearing what his elder brother said, practicing martial arts seemed very dangerous, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.

Jiang Weichen said, "Go back, you haven't thought it through yet, come back when you have.

If you don't want to practice anymore, I will teach you some skills to strengthen your body and prolong your life."

Jiang Weichen took the food from the basket, which included pancakes and dried meat.

Then he said, "The box next to you contains the gold and silver from the Liu Mansion. You can take as much as you want.

If you can't make up your mind to learn martial arts, you can also follow the example of Old Master Liu and his family and become a local rich man, so you can live a worry-free life in the future.

But remember, you can't do everything. A family that accumulates good will surely have good fortune; a family that accumulates evil will surely have disaster.

You must remember the lessons of Old Master Liu's family."

Jiang Tianxiao didn't want to take it at first, but after thinking about his family's conditions, he still took a few taels of silver.

Jiang Weichen didn't say much. He could have given all the silver to his second uncle's family.

But it may not be a good thing for them.

If the news is leaked, neighbors will be jealous and thieves will be greedy, which may bring them disaster.

Chapter 61 Entering the Day After Tomorrow

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

After a few days of panic, the villagers of Xinghua Village gradually became busy.

Everyone was very happy knowing that they could get back the land they sold and even get more land.

Some of them were even grateful to Jiang Weichen, but despite their gratitude, they did not dare to approach Jiang Weichen.

The only ones who might be unhappy are probably the few people who once relied on the Liu family to bully others.

They were once superior to others and could live a worry-free life just by supervising others to do their work.

But now they are back to the past, facing the earth and working hard all day long. The huge gap is too much for them to accept.

A few days later, three of them secretly left, and Jiang Weichen knew what they were going to do.
