Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 95 The Bystander in the World of Tianlong 1

When Liu Yuxi regained consciousness, she did not make any move. She first used her mental energy to scan her surroundings, and the range of her mental energy detection had increased to 200 meters.

The original owner was lying on a stone bed in a stone house. Judging from the stone walls, it must have been a cave carved directly into the mountain. The house was very simple, with only a few holes carved into one wall containing two wooden basins, and nothing else inside.

Even in the face of natural disasters and apocalypses, Liu Yuxi had never experienced anything like this! Was this a "catastrophic" start? She was starting to almost not want to accept the original owner's memories.

After going through the usual procedures and receiving the original owner's memories, Liu Yuxi was so excited she almost jumped up.

The original owner's hometown had suffered from a severe drought for the past two years. On her way to escape, all her parents and relatives died. She was kidnapped by other refugees and was about to be cooked as a "two-legged sheep" when she was rescued by Xiaoyaozi who happened to be passing by!

After dealing with the refugees, she was taken to this valley by Xiaoyaozi, where the two of them lived alone.

The original owner has been living in this valley for half a year now. There is a stream in the valley and about 20 acres of land.

For the past six months, all the chores, such as farming, chopping wood, and carrying water, were done by the original owner of the body, while Xiaoyaozi only occasionally went out to hunt and bring back some game.

Although they work, they are well-fed and warmly dressed. The original owner is eight years old this year, and in the past six months, they have made up for the previous losses.

The original owner died because Xiaoyaozi told her today that he wanted to take her as his last disciple. The original owner was so happy that she died for no reason.

This is pure luck! He's hit the jackpot! Liu Yuxi can't describe his feelings right now. Anyone in the modern world who knew that Xiaoyaozi wanted to take him as his last disciple would be incredibly excited.

The Free and Unfettered Sect! Just thinking about the various top-notch martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect made Liu Yuxi's mouth water.

The martial arts of the Free and Unfettered School are elegant and unrestrained, with wide robes and flowing sleeves that make them appear like immortals. Their movements are elusive and unpredictable, and they are also skilled in the art of divination and escape.

Main characters: Wu Yazi, Tianshan Tonglao, Li Qiushui, Su Xinghe, Ding Chunqiu, Xuzhu, etc.

Main martial arts skills: Beiming Divine Skill, Xiaowuxiang Skill, Chunyang Supreme Skill, Weiwo Duzun Skill, Tianshan Six Yang Palm, Tianshan Zhemei Hand, Lingbo Weibu, Transmitting Sound and Searching Soul Technique, Baihong Palm Force, Life and Death Talisman, etc.

Entry requirements: Proficient in all fields including medicine, divination, astrology, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, mechanics, odd jobs, trade, agriculture, drinking, singing, and riddles; and also handsome and exceptionally intelligent.

Putting aside the fact that Xiaoyaozi was willing to take the original owner as his last disciple, the original owner must have been very beautiful. Just look at these skills, if Liu Yuxi mastered them, she wouldn't be afraid of any world she went to in the future!

The system had told her that she was being transported to a low-level martial arts world! Once she mastered all the skills, she would be invincible—firearms and the like don't count!

Aside from astrology, which she hadn't encountered before, she had learned everything else in other worlds. However, since the original owner of this body hadn't been exposed to it, she had to act like she was just getting started, but that would definitely save a lot of time. This would give her more time to focus on learning martial arts.

Now that Xiaoyaozi has obtained the Longevity Skill and is ready to retire, she only needs to focus on learning from him. After all, none of Jin Yong's novels mention Xiaoyaozi returning to the world after his retirement.

Then she doesn't need to worry about the novel's plot affecting her. Of course, she won't go out of her way to get involved; she's not idle.

After calming down, Liu Yuxi got up and washed up according to the same schedule as the previous six months, then fetched water and cooked. Without being called, Xiaoyaozi was already sitting at the table. The two ate breakfast in silence, and Liu Yuxi kowtowed to Xiaoyaozi and offered him tea. The simple apprenticeship ceremony was over.

It's a bit of a shame. If this were in modern times, they would definitely do a live stream across the entire internet, and it would dominate the top five trending topics!

Apart from the chores she had to do every day, Liu Yuxi spent the rest of her time following Xiaoyaozi to learn new knowledge. She controlled her pace and gradually mastered other knowledge.

Fortunately, she now has a photographic memory and enhanced mental strength, allowing her to maintain the same learning speed when studying astrology as when learning other subjects. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why she might be biased towards one subject over another.

While learning cultural knowledge, Liu Yuxi also began to learn martial arts. Only now does he realize that having a photographic memory makes learning anything easy.

To ensure her body could keep up with the growth of her internal energy, Xiaoyaozi arranged for her to take medicinal baths every day. Since she was his closed-door disciple, she naturally had to learn swordsmanship techniques that the "Three Elders of Xiaoyao" had not yet learned.

To explain this swordsmanship, we need to consider several of Jin Yong's novels and Duan Yu's extraordinary adventures after falling off the cliff.

At that time, Duan Yu obtained the two divine skills, Beiming Divine Art and Lingbo Steps, and gradually reached the pinnacle of his life. But here, he also saw something else: a precious sword.

The original text reads: "In a fleeting glance, he suddenly saw faint colors flowing on the stone wall beside him. Upon closer inspection, he saw that under the character '理' (reason/principle) carved there was the shadow of a long sword. The sword shadow was exceptionally clear, and the hilt, guard, blade, and tip were all perfectly in line with the Dao. The tip of the sword pointed diagonally downwards, and the sword shadow emitted a rainbow-like halo, flickering and flowing, moving erratically."

None of the Three Elders of Xiaoyao used swords in their main martial arts. The book does mention that Wuyazi and Li Qiushui had a sword duel under the moon, but neither of them made much progress in swordsmanship. Therefore, Xiaoyaozi probably did not pass on his swordsmanship to them; they were just figuring it out on their own.

Later, a master in the next generation seemed to be a successor of Xiaoyaozi, and that person was the "Sword Demon" Dugu Qiubai. Later, Dugu Qiubai also left his sword in a hidden place. If Dugu Qiubai was a successor of Xiaoyaozi, it would explain why such a highly skilled swordsman would suddenly appear in the world. Only by receiving the teachings of a master could one achieve such a feat. It should be noted that Dugu Qiubai had already been wandering the martial arts world before the age of twenty. It was impossible for him to have mastered the divine skill on his own. After all, even the protagonists in various works cannot create a divine skill in their teens.

In conclusion, after retiring, Xiaoyaozi took Dugu Qiubai as his successor, which is why all of his martial arts skills were passed down to him.

The timeline also matches up. In the serialized version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Yang Guo deduced the era of Dugu Qiubai based on the Condor: none of the senior figures in the martial arts world had ever mentioned Dugu Qiubai, so he must have been a person from at least a hundred years ago.

What raises suspicion is that in the revised version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Jin Yong changed it to: "Never the senior figures in the martial arts world have mentioned Dugu Qiubai, so he must have been a person from at least sixty or seventy years ago."

Why did Jin Yong change "a hundred years ago" to "sixty or seventy years ago"? With Jin Yong's change, Dugu Qiubai's life trajectory is more clearly revealed. He was a character who lived in the late period of Tianlong.

Therefore, considering these Jin Yong novels, this explanation is the most reasonable.
