Chapter 20 Learning Martial Arts

Continuing from the last chapter, in the warm room of Miss Shiyu in the Moon Palace on the fourth floor of the Exiled Immortal Tower, there is a poem:

The water in the boudoir is cold and the sweat has not yet dried, and the sex is intense.

The moon has set while the couple is making love, but there is no news from the night watchman that they are safe.

Well, after the two of them tossed and turned for a long time, Li Yi lay on the big bed and fell asleep. Beside him, Shi Yu, who was half-dressed, caressed him lovingly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and she found a comfortable position and buried her head in Li Yi's arms...

At dawn, Li Yi opened his sleepy eyes and wiped his face. He drank a lot last night. Fortunately, he was able to fight. Otherwise, he would feel that he had lost a lot! Looking around, Shiyu was not in the room. He got up, put on his robe, and sat at the table writing something. At this time, the maid came over and took a look. She found that Li Yi had already gotten up and shouted, "Master Li is awake. Please wait a moment. I will go to prepare the washing things."

At this time, Shiyu walked in with a smile, "Li Lang is awake, why didn't you call me." Li Lang? The name has changed! Oh! Is this the process of quantitative change and qualitative change after a night of love? Well, it seems that the waist and abdomen exercises are not in vain. "I didn't expect you to get up so early and dress up."

The maid brought water and a towel for washing his face. After Li Yi finished washing, Shiyu helped him get dressed. At this time, Dugu Yu and Nangong Qi had already left...

After breakfast, in an elegant room on the fourth floor of the Moon Palace in the Exiled Immortal Tower, Li Yi ate fruit while listening to Shiyu playing the piano. He was very happy. After the song, Shiyu sat next to Li Yi, peeled an orange and fed it to Li Yi one slice at a time. She smiled and said, "Li Lang, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Yi said without thinking: "I don't know either. I haven't figured out what to do next." "Oh, then may I ask why Li Lang came to the capital?" "Leading the trend!" Shi Yu smiled and said: "Leading the trend? I thought Li Lang was here to pursue a career in government. Most people come here for this." "Career in government? Why do you have to be an official? What's so good about being an official!" Shi Yu asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Isn't being an official good?"

Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "People in the officialdom are treacherous. I don't want to be an official and I don't want to compete with those cunning people!" "If so, how does Li Lang plan to be the leader?" "I really don't know, but I took the first step last night. It's a good start." "It's a good start. I defeated the most talented person in Shangjing with my talent. Li Lang is not satisfied with this feat? It seems that Li Lang thinks highly of himself!"

"It's OK, Yang Hua is indeed talented. The sudden rain mercilessly breaks the spring dawn, how many flowers have fallen in the dream. These two lines are not bad, but in my opinion, the title of the most talented man in Shangjing is a bit exaggerated." Shi Yu smiled and said, "That Mr. Yang is well-read, and his talent in writing is demonstrated through competition after competition in the Juxian Hall. He is truly the most talented man in Shangjing! Li Lang, don't underestimate him."

Li Yi thought to himself: A man of five carts of learning? How many books can five carts hold? Not to mention the various novels and magazines I have read, the textbooks and exercises for the nine-year compulsory education would take up five carts! If I also count the books for high school and college, I would have ten carts!

Li Yi looked at Shiyu and asked, "How do you compare to him in terms of literary talent?" Shiyu smiled and said, "Li Lang, don't joke like that. I am no match for Young Master Yang in terms of literary talent." "I heard that your reputation was also earned through competitions in Shangjing City. How much of this is real?" Upon hearing this, Shiyu was shocked, "Why did Li Lang ask this question?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I don't believe that you can beat Qi Zhao in terms of chess skills; and you are no match for the musicians in the Yuefu in terms of playing the zither. Your calligraphy is good, but as for your painting skills, I have seen the painting "Hibiscus Blossoms" in the room. It is indeed a masterpiece, but the painting style is obviously ghostwritten by someone else. Even a layman like me can see it. If it is appraised by a calligraphy and painting master, he will certainly be able to tell who wrote it. As for your poems..."

Shi Yu interrupted, "Li Lang, I see it but don't say it. There are many rules in our business. Don't you know? If you want to become an oiran, you must create momentum. How can you become the top without some signs?" Li Yi smiled and said, "Of course I understand this. This is not what I want to ask." "Then what does Li Lang want to ask?" "Who is your teacher?"

Shiyu smiled and said, "I have many teachers. I have a zither player, a chess player, and a painter. I wonder which one you want to ask about, Li Lang?" Li Yi looked at Shiyu seriously and asked, "Who is the teacher who introduced you to Confucianism?" Shiyu also said seriously, "It's my father. What's wrong?" "Are you really the daughter of Fang Lun, the prime minister of Han?" "Of course. Why is Li Lang suddenly interested in my life experience? I am a person with a miserable life. Li Lang must have heard about it."

Li Yi smiled and said, "I just want to know you better and be more honest." Shi Yu suddenly said shyly, "Li Lang, how else do you want to know and be honest? When you took off my clothes last night, you tore them! Isn't that honest enough? If you are more honest, you will get into my stomach." The old driver suddenly drove! The speed was very fast! Li Yi was so overwhelmed by Shi Yu's dirty talk that he couldn't continue. The two personal maids who were serving on the side couldn't help laughing and covered their mouths with their hands.

Li Yi glanced at the two maids and said, "What are you two laughing at? If you laugh again, I will ask you two to serve me while I discuss Taoism with Shiyu tonight. If you don't serve well, you will be executed on the spot!" The two maids were Shiyu's close friends and naturally trusted by her. They were also smart and could of course tell whether Li Yi's words were good or bad.

The maid named Yue'er said innocently, "I know I was wrong! I heard the young lady's bed creaking for a long time last night. I think Mr. Li and the young lady were discussing Taoism very intensely! I dare not serve them. I have been weak since I was a child and cannot stand the tossing!"

The maid named Xing'er also said with a pitiful face: "I am the same, Master Li, please be magnanimous and let me go. Also, please be gentle to my young lady and don't learn from those vulgar warriors who toss her all night long without any mercy!"

Li Yi listened to the two maids and found two problems. First, the two maids were also experienced drivers! They didn't know how to turn when driving, and they all drifted through the corners! They overtook other cars on various curves! They were so good!

Second, this warrior is really vulgar! He actually fought until dawn? F*ck! There is such a thing, I also want to learn this skill! I also want to have an invincible golden spear, so that if I become rich in the future and have three wives and four concubines, I will not be partial to one over the other! But isn’t it too late to practice martial arts now? I wonder if there are any tricks or quick methods?

With this thought in mind, Li Yi looked at Shi Yu and asked, "Can a warrior really toss around all night?" Shi Yu blushed and said, "I heard a few Qing'an sisters talking about this. They said that when these warriors reach the sixth level of bronze skin and iron bones, they can really toss around all night. It's very vulgar! So the sisters downstairs are unwilling to take on the work of the warriors, fearing that they are not worthy of it!"

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! This kind of magic operation must be learned! No, this skill point must be maxed out! Even if it means more suffering and more pain, the sixth level of martial arts bronze skin and iron bones! After listening to Shi Yu's words, Li Yi has already determined his belief in learning martial arts, not for anything else, just for this golden spear that will not fall, rain and dew will be equally shared!

Li Yi asked, "Is it too late for me to learn martial arts now?" Shi Yu looked at Li Yi in astonishment and asked, "Why does Li Lang want to learn martial arts? Are you going to give up literature and follow martial arts? You can't do that! Don't learn from those crude warriors!"

Li Yi answered sincerely: "It's not that I want to give up literature and take up martial arts, but I also want to fight until dawn! This is a matter of self-esteem as a man! I don't want to be looked down upon by these girls!" After saying that, Li Yi glanced at the two maids.

Shi Yu turned around and glared at Yue'er and Xing'er, cursing, "You two damn girls! If you keep talking nonsense, I will send you to the first floor today to serve those vulgar warriors!" The two maids immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, crying, "Miss, we know we are wrong! Please don't send us to the first floor, we will serve you and Master Li well."

"Yes, Miss, I was talkative and said the wrong thing. I know I was wrong and I will slap her in the face right now!" After she finished speaking, she was about to hit herself in the face. Li Yi used the seventh-level Confucian method of stopping and shouted, "Stop!" Xing'er's hand stopped unconsciously and did not hit her in the face.

Li Yi smiled at Shi Yu and said, "Okay, don't blame them. They didn't say anything wrong. I wanted to learn it myself. It's none of their business." Shi Yu looked at the two maids and said, "This time Li Lang pleaded for you and let you go. If you dare to talk nonsense again next time, you will be severely punished!"

Li Yi smiled and said to the two maids, "Okay, get up. Go do what you should do. Don't serve here. It's just right for me to have a private chat with Shiyu. Go." The two maids looked up at Shiyu, obviously waiting for her to speak, otherwise they would not dare to move. Shiyu said angrily, "Didn't you hear what Li Lang said? Hurry up and go, or you will be punished!" The two left immediately, leaving only Li Yi and Shiyu sitting opposite each other in the elegant room.

Li Yi laughed and said, "I never knew you were so scary when you got angry." Shi Yu immediately changed her expression and said with a smile, "Li Lang, don't really believe what those two silly girls say. What do they know?"

Li Yi asked: "Didn't you also say that martial artists are really capable of doing things? To be honest, I am really moved!"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Li Lang, although I don't understand martial arts, I heard that these martial artists have been practicing since they were young, and they cannot lose their virginity before the eighth rank. If they lose their virginity, they can only practice to the seventh rank at most. Li Lang has lost his primordial energy before he even entered the rank, so I'm afraid he can't learn martial arts."

Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect there is such a method. It seems that this martial arts is really not suitable for me. Is there no shortcut?" Shi Yu shook her head and said, "I have never heard of it. Li Lang, do you really want to learn martial arts?"

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't want to practice martial arts every day like those warriors, getting up early and going to bed late. I can't stand that kind of suffering! I just want to find out if there is any way for me to directly cultivate to the sixth level of martial arts, the bronze skin and iron bones realm! This way, when I discuss the Dao with you in the future, I can make you kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Shiyu said coquettishly: "Li Lang, you are so mean, you still want to tease me." Li Yi had a wicked smile on his face. Shiyu said: "If Li Lang really wants to learn martial arts, maybe there is someone who can really help you."

Li Yi asked anxiously: "Who is it? Is there any way to make friends with him?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Li Lang, you don't need to make friends with him, because he is already your brother." "Oh? Is it Brother Yu or Brother Qi?" "Li Lang really understood everything at once, it is Master Yu."

"Oh, why can Brother Yu help me?" Shi Yu said while feeding Li Yi fruit, "The Dugu family is a martial arts family, and it is also the only family in Wei with a master of the extraordinary realm. And Master Yu's brother Dugu Long is the youngest and strongest fourth-rank warrior in Wei. I think there must be some secret methods or other skills in the family. Li Lang and Master Yu are good friends, so you might as well ask him to see if he knows anything. If he doesn't know, you can ask Dugu Long, maybe he can find a way."

Li Yi's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily. In a flash, Li Yi looked at Shi Yu in surprise and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "If you want to gain a foothold in Shangjing City, you won't last long if you are not well-informed. Before entering Beijing, I had an understanding of the various forces here. This is a required lesson in our industry. Otherwise, you won't even know who you are entertaining. If you are negligent or say the wrong thing without thinking, you will die without knowing how you died." Li Yi looked at Shi Yu and nodded.

In the afternoon, Shiyu sent someone to invite Yuqi and the other two to have a drink. In the evening, Duguyu and Nangongqi swaggered into the Moon Palace. Li Yi and Shiyu welcomed them into the elegant room, where they ate and chatted. After eating for a while, Shiyu found an excuse to leave first, leaving the three men behind to create an opportunity for Li Yi.

Li Yi naturally understood and asked Dugu Yu: "Brother Yu, Xiuyuan wants to inquire about something, I wonder if Brother Yu can tell me the truth." Dugu Yu said cheerfully: "Brother Li, what you said is meaningless. You and I are brothers. If you have any questions, I will tell you everything I know. Just ask." Li Yi smiled and said: "Brother Yu, your Dugu family is a martial arts family. I wonder if there is any quick-learning method?"

Nangong Qi asked, "Brother Li, why are you suddenly interested in martial arts?" Li Yi said, "Do you know the sixth-grade bronze-skinned and iron-boned realm of martial arts?" Nangong Qi smiled and said, "Brother Li, my brother Yu and I are from military families and martial arts families. How could we not know the sixth-grade bronze-skinned and iron-boned realm?" Li Yi said seriously, "Do you know that the sixth-grade martial artist can fight on the bed all night with a golden spear?"

Dugu Yu exclaimed, "Is this true? Brother Li, don't be kidding!"

Li Yi told Yu Qi and the other two what the maids said. They were silent for a moment. Nangong Qi slammed the table and said angrily, "Oh! It's too late to regret! If my elders had told me earlier that practicing martial arts could be so useful, I would have practiced martial arts a long time ago!"

Dugu Yu shook his head and sighed, "Brother Li, I really didn't know about this. Such bed-curtain matters are not something that ordinary people would mention. If it weren't for Brother Li revealing the secret, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark!"

The three of them were silent at the same time, each thinking about his own thing. Li Yi was thinking: It seems that these two really don't know that warriors can fight until dawn. With their personalities, they will definitely talk about this kind of thing to tease those women!

Dugu Yu was thinking: This actually happened. Dad, oh dad, I regret it so much. If I had listened to you and practiced martial arts since childhood, I would have already subdued those girls by now!

Nangong Qi slammed the table and cursed, "Now that I think about it, those girls who praised me for my great skills in bed were just fooling me! With their experience, they must know the ability of a martial artist! Thinking back to the expressions and tones of their voices, I feel now that they were not praising me, but mocking me!"

The three of them were all furious at the same time! They cursed at the same time: "Vulgar warrior!" Then there was silence again.

Finally, Li Yi broke the silence and said, "In that case, Xiuyuan has an idea. Would you two like to listen to it?"

"Brother Li, we are all brothers, just say whatever you want to say!" Li Yi said, "I want to learn martial arts! Not to lead troops to fight, not to be crowned a marquis or become a general, but to reach the sixth level of bronze skin and iron bones, so that women can cry for their parents! I wonder if you two brothers have any ideas?"

Nangong Qi sighed and said, "Brother Li, to be honest, you have to start practicing martial arts from a young age, and you must practice every morning and evening without interruption, otherwise all your previous efforts will be wasted! I couldn't stand that kind of hardship, so I gave up very early. At that time, my father was so angry that he beat me half to death!"

Dugu Yu felt the same way and said, "That's right, I feel the same way. If my mother hadn't stood in front of me, my father would have beaten me to death!" Alas! The two sighed together!

Li Yi asked: "Don't you two brothers have any secret techniques in your family that can help people achieve success quickly?"

Dugu Yu frowned and said, "Brother Li, I have never heard of this. My family definitely doesn't have it. Even my brother has cultivated steadily step by step to achieve his current level of cultivation."

Alas! The three of them sighed together! Li Yi asked again: "Brother Yu, Brother Qi, could it be that the elders in your family are afraid that you will take shortcuts and be lazy, so they didn't tell you the shortcut method or trick?"

Dugu Yu and Nangong Qi looked at each other and nodded. Dugu Yu said, "Brother Li, this is indeed possible! But even if there is such a shortcut, the three of us are already over 20 years old. Isn't it too late to practice martial arts now?"

Li Yi said, "How about this, you two brothers go back home and ask around, ask your good brothers, martial artists, guards, etc., to see if they know any details. I'll find out from the martial arts world, and we can meet at this time tomorrow to see what we can learn from each other!"

Yu Qi and the other two nodded in agreement, and then they left without staying for a moment. Men are all good at showing off, and for the sake of the golden gun, the two of them were also sincere. Li Yi also specifically told Dugu Yu to ask Dugu Long. They are brothers, so they will definitely not hide anything. If there is a shortcut, they will tell the truth.

In this way, the three of them acted separately. In fact, Yuqi and the other two acted, while Li Yi stayed where he was and waited for the two to leave. Shiyu smiled and came to Li Yi and said, "Li Lang, if there is a secret skill in their family, would they be willing to teach you?" Li Yi said, "I'm afraid they won't, but it doesn't matter. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have to know if there is a way first, and then think about how to go!"
