On the tranquil river, a light boat glides gracefully, its oarsman skillfully maneuvering through the winding stream like delicate butterfly wings. He is taking a young boy named Chin Feng to the other side of the village.
Chin Feng has had a difficult life, growing up as an orphan in an orphanage. It is said that as a baby, he was placed in a delicate bamboo basket and set adrift in the river. Inside the basket, along with a doll, was an ornament inscribed with the character "Qing" . When the villagers found him, the basket was on the verge of being swept away by the swift current. They were unable to rescue him in time, but suddenly a strong gust of wind blew the basket to the shore. Everyone marveled at this and believed it to be a sign from the heavens. From that day on, the orphanage took him in and named him Chin Feng.
On this day, Chin Feng gazed at the distant mountains, his eyes shimmering with extraordinary light. As the small boat approached Wuhe Village, he saw a withered yellow leaf floating on the river's surface, igniting a sense of eager anticipation within him. Without waiting for the boat to reach the shore, he leaped lightly into the air, landing on the bank like a flying swallow skimming the water, and hurried away.
Before the boatman could steady his steps, he loudly reprimanded, "Young Chin Feng, why do you need to take such risks again! It's safe on the shore. Why not wait for the boat to dock before leaving?"
Chin Feng looked back, smiling, and replied, "Uncle Fu, what I did was indeed inappropriate, but I have urgent matters to attend to today. I promise to follow the rules next time." With that, he swiftly disappeared like a swallow skimming over water, his figure instantly submerged in the green shade deep within the village.
As the boat sailed on, Uncle Fu's reprimand dispersed with the wind, but Chin Feng was already elated, dashing joyfully towards the bookshop that held the martial arts secrets he had longed for.
The bookstore owner, holding a dustpan and broom, was leisurely sweeping in front of the door when suddenly his gaze fell on a familiar figure. A kind smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Hey, Chin Feng, what good books are you looking for today, young brother?"
Chin Feng's eyes sparkled with anticipation as he excitedly replied, "Boss, today I want to find a good martial arts novel!" With that, he carefully took out six copper coins from his pocket.
The boss took down a slightly old-looking martial arts novel from the bookshelf and handed it to the young boy, saying, "This novel, I couldn't put it down when I was young. I believe you will like it too."
Next, he only took four copper coins with a kind look in his eyes. The boss knew that if he took all of it, Chin Feng might not even have enough to eat. Chin Feng took the novel with a satisfied and joyful expression, then happily ran towards the direction of the orphanage. In his heart, the book had become a whole new world waiting for him to explore.
The night fell like a curtain, and the lights inside the orphanage were brilliant. The boy, Little Chin Feng, opened the ancient book in his hand and immersed himself in it. The book depicted the legendary story of the martial arts leader, Wu Yunzi. Wu Yunzi, born in poverty, showed extraordinary talent from a young age. He traversed the martial arts world, befriending various heroes and challenging major factions with courage. He also joined forces with other heroes to resist the aggression of the three major sects. His story also included the founding of the Martial Arts Sect, using peerless martial arts to awe the world.
Wu Yunzi's swordsmanship was unparalleled, and his reputation spread far and wide. With the power of his sword alone, he was invincible. His demeanor was elegant, his wisdom and courage outstanding, and his chivalrous and compassionate spirit inspired a deep longing for the martial arts world in Little Chin Feng's heart. From the book, Chin Feng saw how Wu Yunzi single-handedly overturned the martial arts order and influenced generations with noble martial virtues.
The words in the book seem to have a life of their own, and every scene unfolds before my eyes. The sword-wielding heroes, the leisurely knights-errant, the iron-blooded chivalrous figures, all make Little Chin Feng yearn and dream of one day becoming a martial arts master like them.
The sunlight sprinkles over the mountains and forests, with the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves weaving a harmonious natural symphony. Fifteen-year-old Chin Feng is using thick ropes to tightly bind newly split wood, preparing to sell it at the rural market in exchange for some basic necessities.
As he lifts the coiled ropes around the firewood, preparing to head home, a faint calling stops him in his tracks. Following the source of the sound, he arrives at the side of an ancient tree, where a stunning scene unfolds before his eyes.
Under the tree, a middle-aged man curled up in exhaustion, his clothes tattered and his body covered in scars, each one telling a story of bloodshed and suffering.
Desperation and a plea for help filled the man's eyes as he struggled to breathe and uttered, "Save me..."
Chin Feng was surprised but, upon seeing the severely injured person in front of him, he felt compassion and hurriedly helped him into a nearby cave. He took out herbs from his backpack, ground them into a paste, and applied it to the wounds in an attempt to stop the bleeding and disinfect. At that moment, Chin Feng had a faint feeling that this person's appearance would bring unexpected changes to his life.
Several days later, in the dimness of the cave, the mysterious man gradually recovered under Chin Feng's careful care. This man introduced himself as Liu Mian, the current leader of the Martial Arts Sect, who had been pursued to this place due to deep enmity with the Scarlet Flame Demon Sect.
"Young man, I will always remember your life-saving grace," said Liu Mian with a sense of gratitude, his eyes revealing a deep appreciation for life.
Chin Feng casually shook his head and said, "It was just a small effort, no need to worry." His voice carried the spirit of a chivalrous figure from the martial world.
As the two were chatting and laughing, the sound of galloping hooves echoed from a distant mountain valley, like a sudden storm, carrying a sense of imminent danger.
Liu Mian's expression changed abruptly, and with concern, she said, "The pursuers are coming. They've tracked us down by the scent of blood I left behind. We need to escape immediately."
Chin Feng frowned, pondered for a moment, and proposed a plan: "If they come after us following the bloody scent, we'll confuse them with a fake bloody scent. Uncle, you hide here, and I'll lead the pursuers away."
Liu Mian nodded in agreement, and the two quickly divided their tasks.
Chin Feng will hide Liu Mian in a concealed location in another mountain cave, covering it with dry leaves and then sprinkling it with hundred-flower pollen to mask the smell of blood. Then, using the bloodstains left by Liu Mian, they will lead the pursuers along a winding path towards the other side of the valley.
As the pursuers from the Scarlet Flame Demon Sect gradually close in, Chin Feng dares not delay and swiftly travels along another treacherous mountain path to lead the enemy away.
The pursuers followed the scent of blood to the scene of the crime, and began to search along the path. Meanwhile, Chin Feng had been waiting for an opportunity at a high vantage point, and pushed down a huge rock. The boulders fell like rain, raising a cloud of dust and blocking the pursuers' path.
In the mountain forest, the pursuers roared like wild beasts, relentlessly chasing the trail left by Chin Feng. Meanwhile, Chin Feng moved through the dense woods like a spiritual fox, skillfully guiding the pursuers and leading them farther and farther away.
Until he was sure that the pursuers had been shaken off, Chin Feng swiftly returned to the cave through a hidden mountain path. Seeing Liu Mian unharmed, he finally felt a weight lifted off his chest.
"Young man, the intelligence and courage you displayed today are truly extraordinary," Liu Mian said, looking at Chin Feng with a glint of admiration in his eyes.
Chin Feng looked at the gradually darkening sky and said in a low voice, "We need to find a new place to hide quickly."
Liu Mian nodded in agreement, and the two of them busily packed up and quietly left in the cover of the night.
After a difficult journey, they finally found a safe place to settle.
Liu Mian felt grateful for Chin Feng's lifesaving grace and, seeing his intelligence and bravery, decided to teach him martial arts.
"Chin Feng, you saved my life, and I am willing to take you as my disciple and pass on my martial arts to you," Liu Mian said with a sense of hope and trust in his voice.
Excitement filled Chin Feng's eyes as this was the opportunity he had longed for. "Disciple Chin Feng is willing to accept you as my master," he solemnly knelt down and kowtowed three times, showing his determination and respect.
Under Liu Mian's guidance, Chin Feng was like an eager apprentice, concentrating intently on understanding every move and technique. His initial clumsiness gradually transformed into proficiency, and every sword swing and body movement showcased his talent and determination.
During his cultivation, a subtle inner force rose quietly from his lower abdomen, flowing like a gentle stream, nourishing his muscles and nurturing his meridians. Every quiet night, he would sit under the moonlight, his mind as calm as water, allowing this power to circulate within his body.
Liu Mian often stood by, observing Chin Feng's every progress with keen eyes, filled with strong anticipation and satisfaction. He witnessed this young man's transformation from youthfulness to determination, from naivety to mastery.
After finishing his training, Chin Feng wiped away the sweat from his body without a hint of complaint. He knew that this was the necessary path to reaching the peak of martial arts.
Observing Chin Feng's completion of his training, Liu Mian couldn't help but smile and say, "Chin Feng, your progress is truly unexpected. In just a month, you have already established a foundation in internal strength."
Chin Feng Smiled and responded, "This is all the result of your careful teaching, Master."
Liu Mian nodded solemnly and said, "Your effort and perseverance are the key. But remember, the path of martial arts cannot be rushed; it must be taken step by step."
Chin Feng quietly learned, his eyes shining with reverence and love for martial arts.
Liu Mian not only taught Chin Feng martial arts, but also bestowed upon him the "Spiritual Heart Tactic," a set of internal martial arts techniques. Liu Mian explained that only by cultivating both internal and external skills could one reach the peak of martial arts.
Chin Feng practiced the "Spiritual Heart Tactic" day and night, with every mantra and every breath deeply imprinted in his heart. Gradually, he began to experience the wondrous sensation of internal energy flowing through his meridians.
In this way, Chin Feng embarked on the path of martial arts training.
Under the careful guidance of Liu Mian, Chin Feng's swordsmanship has been improving day by day. Not only has he mastered the techniques of the sword, but he has also gained a deeper understanding of the true essence of martial arts.
Since childhood, Chin Feng has dreamed of entering the martial arts world, and now he finally feels the charm of the world of martial arts in practice.
As time passes, Chin Feng's inner self also gradually matures. Through continuous practice, he gradually comprehended the profound mystery of "Spiritual Heart Tactic" and achieved a balance of inner and outer cultivation.
