Chapter 11: Seeking Fortune and Honor in Danger (50 monthly tickets plus more!)
"Senior, what about you?"

The unexpected encounter with the old man in straw raincoat in the snow and ice was both an opportunity and a crisis for Tianxuan, so he was determined to give it a try.

"Where are you going?"

Hearing this, the old man in the straw raincoat pretended to be surprised: "Little ghost, what do you mean by this? Could it be that I can't go home?"

"Senior, please stop joking with me." Tian Xuan said seriously. "First, the blood stains on your raincoat prove that you have just experienced a war; second, in such a cold season, you brought fishing gear with you. If you said you were going out to fish, why would you choose such a desolate place with wild animals? Third, your attention fell on the fishing rod beside you intentionally or unintentionally, which proves that the fishing rod is very important to you, maybe it is your weapon."

Tianxuan's words fell into the ears of the old man in the straw raincoat, causing his body wrapped in the straw raincoat to tremble slightly, and a sharp flash flashed across his eyes. If the child in front of him was not just a five or six-year-old child, the old man in the straw raincoat would have killed him. As for whether Tianxuan was a spy? This thought did not even occur to the old man in the straw raincoat. It was because no matter how powerful the force was, they would not be willing to release such a smart and talented child as an undercover agent.

[I found a treasure. I just smelled the aroma of meat, but I didn’t expect to find a treasure! ]

Under the sharp gaze of the old man in the straw raincoat, Tianxuan knew that the success or failure of this gamble depended on this one move. Even though he was under great pressure, his eyes did not dodge. He stood upright in front of the old man, waiting for his decision.

In an instant, the small shelter, which had just been extremely harmonious, was once again shrouded in an atmosphere of oppression and solemnity that could not be dispersed.

The old man in the straw raincoat confronted Tianxuan for a moment, and seeing that Tianxuan did not dodge at all in the face of the life-and-death crisis that could come at any time, the almost instinctive vigilance in his heart dissipated. Deep in his dry soul, a touch of ecstasy surged from the heart, like a person who had come to a desperate situation and finally found a glimmer of hope.

"Little boy, you are indeed a smart kid."

After an unknown amount of time, the heavy pressure surrounding Tianxuan dissipated. The old man in the straw raincoat spoke again, his tone full of appreciation.

At this time, Tianxuan's clothes were soaked with sweat from his pores. Seeing that the old man had lost his murderous aura, he knew that he had passed this test. His legs softened and he almost fell to the ground. He dragged his exhausted body, which seemed to have experienced a battle, and sat down on the ground again.

"I am being hunted down." After a pause, the old man in the straw raincoat described his situation in a hoarse and unpleasant voice, "As for why I am being hunted down, you don't need to know for the time being. The one hunting me down is the assassin organization that works for the Qin State - Luowang!"

"Net?" Upon hearing this word coming out of the mouth of the old man in straw raincoat, Tian Xuan's heart, which had just returned to calm, was surged with waves again. He could hardly believe his ears and screamed in surprise.

[Luowang? Could it be that I have come to Qin...]

The old man in the straw raincoat naturally didn't know the shock that the term Luowang brought to Tianxuan. When he saw Tianxuan exclaiming, he rolled his eyes at him and said, "It is Luowang! This is a killer organization with hundreds of years of history, almost older than the history of Qin. After Shang Yang's reform, Luowang chose Qin and became a murder weapon of Qin."

Tianxuan remained silent and quietly poked the blazing bonfire with a wooden stick.

"I've been targeted by Luowang, and I know I'm doomed." The old man in the straw raincoat laughed at himself, "But, I was also a powerful figure in the past, with a huge force under my command. Now, my backer is dead, and the power under my command has collapsed. In the past, my hands were stained with a lot of blood, and this end is also my own fault."

"However, I can die, but I don't want this skill to be lost!" The old man in the straw raincoat said halfway, and resentment rose in his desperate words. Tianxuan looked at the old man in the straw raincoat with a burning gaze, and the flames in his eyes were three times stronger than the dancing fire spirits in the campfire: "Senior, are you planning to pass on your skills to me?"

"That's right." The old man in the straw raincoat did not deny it. "I know I am not far from death. I met a boy like you who is extremely smart and talented. It is probably because God does not want to see my skills buried. How about this, you stay with me in the next few days, and I will teach you some skills every day. How much you can learn before I die depends on your own luck. If you are afraid of being implicated by me and becoming a dead soul under the sword of Luowang killer, you can stay away from me!"

"Disciple greets Master..."

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Tianxuan's experience in this life tells him that in this chaotic world, timid people may not die, but they will never stand out. Having died once and growing up in abuse and torture in this life, Tianxuan has become indifferent to life and death. Although he knows the horror of the net, Tianxuan is still fearless. Before the old man finished speaking, he stood up neatly and was about to kowtow to become his disciple.

"No need."

The fishing rod made of green bamboo fell into the old man's hands at some point. The slender bamboo pole stretched out, preventing Tianxuan's knees from bending, and he smiled freely.

"Since you are willing to become my successor, why bother with these!"

"Yes, senior."

Tianxuan had some guesses about the identity of the old man in the straw raincoat in front of him, based on the murder weapon "Luowang". However, the old man was unwilling to say it, and Tianxuan would not explore it.

All this seemed ordinary, but in fact, from the time the old man in the straw raincoat came to him, to Tianxuan's agreement to follow him, it was full of intrigue and danger. Tianxuan would not believe that he could really leave safely after refusing to become the other party's successor. At this moment, the tense heartstrings that had been tense since he saw the old man in the straw raincoat just loosened.

After a fierce battle, Tianxuan was a little hungry again. He reached out and tore off a piece of meat from the wolf, which was still radiating heat, and was about to put it in his mouth. Unexpectedly, the old man in the straw raincoat raised his head and realized something was wrong. Tianxuan hurriedly handed over the meat and bones in his hand.

"hehe."

Once upon a time, the old man in the straw raincoat could taste the best delicacies from the mountains and the sea with just a glance, which was a game of life. Now he is wandering around the world, living in fear of death at any time. In this way, the kindness of Tianxuan, a child who met him by chance, seems precious. The old man took the meat bone handed by Tianxuan and smiled with satisfaction.

"Little boy, the most basic thing for practicing martial arts is to understand the meridians and acupoints of the human body." The old man gnawed on the meat bones and took the time to teach Tianxuan, "In the human body, there are twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, a total of twenty meridians. In addition, there are 720 acupoints all over the body. ..."

Facing the old man's teaching, Tianxuan supported his chin with one hand, his eyes showing an intoxicated look, and he remembered all of this in his heart.
