I Am Xianfan

Chapter 11: Visit the county

   For the new apprentices of the gang, the theory of the three major Dantians is still a bit more advanced, and it doesn't make much sense for their current practice.

   In the compound, under the guidance of Pharmacist Li Kui, the teenagers converged their minds and began to practice in dantian.

Under the old locust tree, Pharmacist Li carried his hands on his back and said with a serious expression: "Introduction to martial arts, starting with the horse step, the legs, waist, and back are unified. This is tempering your muscles, bones, and blood, and you are full of vitality. , In order to give birth to strength."

   All the teenagers stepped in the courtyard one after another, their backs were as tight as a bow, and their legs were bent.

   only insisted on Xiaobanzhuxiang Kungfu, Su Chen felt that his legs, waist, and back were congested and swollen, especially the thighs were eating like a thousand ants, sour and swollen, as if the flesh and blood were beginning to burn.

  According to Master Li Kui, this is precisely the phenomenon that the thighs are tempered and the muscles and blood qi are strengthening.

   After a while, the teenagers in the courtyard couldn't stand it, and their legs trembled.

   Even though it is just one of the simplest steps, it is difficult for the martial arts apprentices to persist. After a stick of incense came down, their legs were sore and their backs hurt, and almost their teeth were crumbling.

"This is the first way to temper the body in the lower dantian, the first way to learn martial arts. Even the most basic horse step is unstable, the back is weak, the legs are floating, even if you hold a peerless sword in your hand, it is just a child. Waving indiscriminately, there is no destructive power. This kind of impenetrable strength, in front of a third-rate warrior, can't resist a single move."

   Pharmacist Li Kui snorted coldly.

   Su Chen and the others came to understand, and Medicine Master Li was right.

   Even if it is the introductory practice of Xia Dantian, it is not easy for them. It will take at least half a year to make a small achievement.

   For these novice disciples, the higher-level middle dantian refining qi is already very far away, let alone the illusory upper dantian.

   All the young girls practiced the Zha Ma step for a full morning. When they were tired, they rested, and then practiced again. The whole body was sore, his legs were trembling when he walked.

   During the lunch break, Su Chen, Zhang Tieniu and other disciples gobbled up a few large bowls of rice in the dining room, three or five large-grain steamed buns, and went back to the hut and fell asleep on the kang tou.

   Even the most noisy and poor-mouthed teenager on weekdays did not want to say a word at this time. The room was full of grunts and thunder did not wake up. After an hour's lunch break, it eased slightly.

   In the afternoon, Pharmacist Li began to teach the new disciples, how to read and write characters, and to identify many medicinal materials.

   Only if you learn to recognize characters, can you learn the entry-level medicinal technique "identify medicinal materials", and recognize the names and patterns of thousands of commonly used medicinal materials.

   As for the low-level medicine technique, it includes many aspects such as "sorting, drying medicine, cutting medicine, dispensing medicine" and so on, which will not be taught until a year later.

   The intermediate medicine technique includes "seeing a doctor and making prescriptions," which is something that only the disciples of the internal affairs department can learn.

   Advanced medicinal techniques involve "refining medicine pills," which is a field that disciples of the inner sect can only enter after three years.

  Wang Fugui and Li Jiao both went to Mongolian school. Naturally, there is no need to learn literature. They skip this link and start to read the medicine book given to them by Pharmacist Li Kui, identifying thousands of medicinal materials.

   And the five outer disciples including Su Chen, Zhang Tieniu, and Yang Dezhi were all civilians. They had not gone to the county school to recognize them one by one. It is not easy to learn three or four thousand characters.

   Fortunately, Pharmacist Li Kui did not force them to learn all the words, but first taught them to identify the names of herbs in the medicine books and understand the herbal map as soon as possible.

   After all, there are too many things to learn. In the first half of the year, I only learn the basic knowledge of medicine. Time is still very tight.

  ...

   Unknowingly, the twelfth lunar month has passed, and it is New Year's Eve.

  The King of Medicine Gang gave all the disciples a day off. Many new disciples who lived in Gusu County went home to celebrate the New Year.

   But there are still a few new disciples left. Because they are far away from home and afraid of delaying the training time, they spent a new year on the mountain.

   After the Chinese New Year, the remaining teenagers gathered in the fire restaurant in Yaowang Mountain Villa to knead noodles, cut vegetables, and make dumplings. It was also quite lively and atmosphere.

  Some teenagers are homesick, crying and making trouble.

   Su Chen was eating a bowl of hot dumplings that had just been baked, thinking of the embarrassment at home, and felt sad.

   I don’t know what's going on with my parents. Did you pay the boat donation from the county government and the weighing fee from the giant whale gang? Did your younger brothers and sisters wear new clothes this year? Although he is no longer a burden to the family, the family still has a shortfall of two taels of money this year. This year is afraid it will be difficult.

   It's night, and there is noisy inside and outside of Yaowang Mountain Villa. Some young people have nothing to do. They use bamboo to make pipes, which are filled with saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal to make powerful blasting rods.

  In the distance, every household in Gusu County put up lanterns and hanged colorful couplets, full of the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

   Su Chen was alone on the kang of the hut, listening to the "cracking" rods outside, worried and awake all night.

  ...

   The new year passed quickly, and the many new disciples who had left the villa returned and began their intense training again. In addition to Zamabu, they began to practice entry-level martial arts, such as entry-level martial arts, entry-level legs, entry-level footwork, and so on.

   Su Chen and other five outer disciples made a surprising discovery.

Under the guidance of Pharmacist Li Kui, Wang Fugui and Li Jiao used some middle and low-level body tempering formulas, and used herbs to assist in cultivation and stimulate the blood qi in the body's bone marrow.

   I heard from Pharmacist Li Kui that there are many benefits of using herbal medicine to help temper the body. First, it can accelerate the stimulation of qi and blood and improve the progress of cultivation. Secondly, it can also heal the wear and tear caused by martial arts training, and can practice martial arts for a longer period of time.

  Because when practicing martial arts, he often beats hardwood stakes with his fists and feet, and repeatedly refines his muscles, bones, flesh, and strengthens his vitality.

   Beating the body like this will bring some small bruises and hidden dangers to the body, so practice for up to two hours a day, not too often, otherwise it will exceed the limit of the body's flesh and blood.

   Body-strengthening herbs can better heal these injuries without leaving hidden dangers.

   If you don’t use medicinal materials to assist your body tempering, it will take about two or three years for a novice to complete the tempering of the muscles, bone marrow, and flesh of the whole body.

   If you use body-tempering herbs, you can save at least a half of your time, and you can progress by leaps and bounds in your practice, and soon exceed the cultivation base of the disciples of the same discipline.

   Only then did Su Chen know that there is such a magical body tempering method that makes body tempering practice twice the result with half the effort.

   But this method is too expensive, it is simply burning money. Even the cheapest pair of body-tempering medicinal materials would cost more than one or two silver.

   Only two inner disciples, Wang Fugui and Li Jiao, who have a lot of money in the family, can afford it.

   Su Chen, Zhang Tieniu and the other five outer disciples are in distress at home, but they can’t afford expensive herbal medicines, they only envy them.

   The sun and the moon are like shuttles outside the villa, and the apprentices do not hear anything outside the window. They are focused on practicing martial arts, literacy and hyphenation, and learning medicine.

   So and so, another two or three months in a flash.

   All the new beginner disciples, whether they are Zamabu or the entry-level fist and footwork, have some decent appearances.

   Su Chen punched the stakes with his fists, full of fist strength, smashed his horses in one breath and sang a piece of incense, his legs were as stable as stakes, and he did not tremble at all.

   Zhang Tieniu's physique is the best. He can even lift a stone weighing a hundred kilograms in one breath, which makes Su Chen, Yang Dezhi and other fellow teachers and brothers envious.

   However, in general, the five new disciples of theirs are still sloppy in martial arts, still not in the realm of the stream, and far from the realm of the third-rate martial artist.

   And Wang Fugui and Li Jiao, the two inner disciples, with the help of body tempering herbal medicine, they were naturally a good ride, leaving their outer disciples behind, and they were very close to the realm of third-rate warriors.

   After a long time, Su Chen and others have gradually forgotten the elimination rules of once every six months, and are completely immersed in the martial arts practice of learning medicine and dantian.

  ...

   Early this morning, Pharmacist Li Kui was going to go out to do errands, so he gave the disciples a day off, took a day off, and allowed them to go shopping in the county, but they had to come back before the evening.

   All the disciples suddenly cheered and leaped for joy. After two or three months in the Yaowang Villa, they studied medicine and tempered their bodies, and finally they could have a good rest.

   "Let's go, let's go to the county seat! Now that the sun has just come out, we can go to the county seat to play for a whole day, and we will come back when the sun sets."

   "Wander around the county town, and come home by the way."

   Zhang Tieniu and Yang Dezhi met and went to the county town to have fun.

   "I won't go... or read the medicine book in the villa."

   Su Chen sat under the old locust tree, looked through a thick book of herbal medicine, hesitated, and shook his head.

   He is not familiar with Gusu County, and he has no relatives or friends in the city. He doesn't know what he is going to visit, so he might as well stay in the villa to learn more herbs.

   "Brother Su, if you look at it, you will become a nerd. After a few months in the villa, I finally took a day off and didn't take the opportunity to play."

   Qin Huihui smiled and pulled up Su Chen and left.

   Su Chen couldn't help it, so he had to leave Yaowang Mountain Villa with the other brothers and sisters, and went to Gusu County to play.

   Yaowang Mountain Villa is only four or five miles away from the county seat. They walked fast and arrived in one incense stick.

  Wang Fugui and Li Jiao have never played with their five outer disciples. They went home after leaving the villa, leaving only their five outer disciples to visit the county town.

   Entering Gusu County, the streets are full of hustle and bustle of people, and it is obviously noisy. The farmer who picks vegetables, the woodman who picks wood, the merchants on the way, and the rushing quacks and chariots come in and out of the city gates in an endless stream.

   Su Chen clearly felt that the pedestrians on the road, seeing the five new disciples of the Yaowang Gang in their group look different, they seemed to have a trace of awe, consciously alienated, and did not dare to approach.

   They all wore brand-new Yaowang Gang disciples' clothes, which were very conspicuous. The Yaowang Gang has a high status in Gusu County, and even the lowest-level outer disciples in the Gang are beyond the reach of ordinary civilians.

Su Chen couldn't help thinking in secret. After all, his identity is different. As a disciple of the Medicine King Gang, he has become a disciple of the rivers and lakes. Although there is a big gap between those big horses who ride the big horses, they are no longer the same. The plain-headed people of the county seat.

   Zhang Tieniu, Yang Dezhi and others also clearly noticed the strange look in the eyes of passers-by, and they couldn't help but dance with joy, feeling that they were all the pride of the disciples of the rivers and lakes.

Five people wandering in Gusu county town. It may be too long since they haven’t been to the county town. They walked along the streets and ate a few bowls of hot stinky tofu on the street shop. The famous crab shell yellow on the street, the merchant’s plum cake and fish-flavored spring rolls. , Everything is full of fresh fun.

   It was the first time that Su Chen really played in Gusu County. After listening to Yang Dezhi's introduction, he figured out the layout of Gusu City.

  Chengzhong District is the place where the county government office is located, the mansion of the county magistrate and many high-ranking officials and nobles, the government officials are all working here, and the atmosphere is solemn.

   The western part of the city is a commercial area, with shops on both sides of the street, mostly belonging to wealthy families in the city. You can see warehouses, Mibu tea and salt shops, restaurants, tea houses, and a variety of shops everywhere. Because of the convenience of river transportation outside the west gate, the west of the city is the most prosperous and lively, gathering merchants from all walks of life.

  The southern part of the city is a residential area for civilians. There are tens of thousands of civilians. They are all cramped and cramped wooden houses. The low streets are crowded and there are unpleasant stinky drains everywhere.

   In spite of this, it is still expensive to own a wooden house of your own in Chengnan District, which is not what the villagers can expect.

   Chengbei is the residence of wealthy households in the county town, big businessmen, and local gentry and local tyrants in various towns. There are many martial arts halls, academies, mansions, and forest gardens, standing side by side. The streets are spacious and quite quiet, with carriages and sedan chairs going in and out of the north of the city on weekdays.

   At the entrance of Chengxi Street, there is also a famous brothel "Yanyulou" in Gusu City. Inside, there is ying, singing and dancing, flowers blooming, and the sound of the piano.

   The old bust took a group of girls to beckoning guests outside the building, wooing the rich sons and gangsters to enter the building to have fun.

   When passing by Chengxi Street, Zhang Tie looked into Yanyulou with bull-eyed eyes, quite envious, but unfortunately he was embarrassed in his pocket, plus the precepts of Pharmacist Li Kui, he did not dare to make a mistake.

   All the newcomer apprentices are young and young after all, and they dared not stay in front of the brothel and left in a hurry.

   Wandered to another street, but saw a large crowd of people gathered around to watch a juggling troupe performing tricks such as fire breathing, fire ring drilling, and hammer crushing of breast stones. The crowd cheered and shouted from time to time.

   Yang Dezhi's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that there was a poppy in the crowd molesting a good family woman, and he immediately yelled. "Hey, I recognize that Poppy, called Niu San, who often does bad things on this street! Brother Tie Niu, do him!"

   "Brothers, **** him with me!"

   Zhang Tieniu's brain became hot after hearing this, and he rushed to the forefront with excitement.

   Su Chen, Yang Dezhi and others were afraid that he would suffer a loss, and they rushed over quickly, grabbing the pippi and beating hard, and the bull who beat him cried his father and called his mother.

   Poppi in Gusu County has always dared to pretend to be ruthless in front of the common people. When encountering these ruthless gangs wearing the clothes of the disciples of the Yaowang Gang, how dare to resist, he was so scared that he looked panicked and ran away with his head.

   The brothers of the brothers were fighting on the street, and they couldn't help but feel excited, and finally felt that they had begun to become real people in the rivers and lakes. Right now, they beat up a splash, but they are trying their skills in the arena of Gusu City.

   At noon, after playing in the county for a whole morning, everyone was finally a little tired from walking around.

   Zhang Tieniu, Yang Dezhi, and Qin Huihui are all from Gusu County. Kong Xinqiao’s family is also near the county seat. The four of them went home and reunited for dinner.

   In the end, Su Chen was left alone, left alone on the busy street, with nowhere to go, he was extremely disappointed.

   The water town of Zhouzhuang is too far away. It takes at least one day to go back and forth, so I can’t make it back at night. Besides, his grievances are still in his heart, and he doesn't want to go back.

   I wandered around the city until noon, but my stomach was a little hungry.

   Su Chen touched the void in his arms, but showed a wry smile.

   Yaowang Mountain Villa provides food, clothing, and housing for all newcomers and apprentices. The food in the kitchen does not cost money, but there is no money to make.

   Zhang Tieniu and other brothers and sisters, the family will give them a small amount of copper coins, and there are some scraps of copper coins available.

   But he was penniless and couldn't even afford a steamed bun when walking on the street, so he was very embarrassed. This is also the reason why he is reluctant to come out of Yaowang Mountain Villa, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and everyone to hang out in the county.

   "Well, I'll be hungry at noon. Go back to the dining room of the villa in the evening and have a full meal."

   Su Chen sighed slightly.

   He thought for a while, what to do.

   I was free in the afternoon, so I went to A Chou to see how he was doing.

   Before, the two had an appointment to join the Jianghu gang in Gusu County, and they would break into the rivers and lakes together in the future. They did not know whether A Chou had entered the Tianyingmen or how they were doing.

   Su Chen went to the Tianying Inn, and met the old man Li in the backyard to inquire about the whereabouts of A Chou.

   The old head of Li saw Su Chen appearing in the costume of a disciple of the Yaowang Gang, and he was a little surprised, and his expression quickly became a little more cautious and awe-inspiring.

Su Chen is no longer the old fisherman in the tattered linen, but the new disciple of the Yaowang Gang. He is dressed in a capable blue shirt and has practiced martial arts for several months. His body is much stronger and he has added a lot of rivers and lakes. The heroic spirit that children only have.

   Old Head Li babbled that A Chou hadn't come back since he left that day. Hearing people said that he seemed to have entered the Tianyingmen and became an outer disciple.

   Su Chen couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately went to the Tianyingmen Main Hall to find A Chou.

   But to his disappointment, Tianyingmen Main Hall does not allow outsiders to enter.

   And the newcomers of the gang are not famous, no one will remember their names specially. It is no good to ask the swordsmen who guard the gate of the Tianyingmen Main Hall to help find someone. They don't bother to care about it.

   Su Chen couldn't find Ah Chou, and he felt a little regretful, thinking that he could only look for opportunities in the future.

   However, he was still very pleased. Li Shu said that A Chou had become a disciple of Tianyingmen and a person in the world. The two brothers will meet again in Gusu County sooner or later, and they are not in a hurry.
