casket of old days

Chapter 27

Chu Qiguang looked around and saw opportunities to make money everywhere. Unfortunately, if you want to make money in this era, you'd better have an official status, or a relative who is an official, and then you have to hug the thigh of an official from the same town.

Otherwise, if you don't have an official background, if you do a little bit more business, you will end up being swallowed alive.

And as long as you have an official status, even if you don't know how to do business, Yinzi will come to you by yourself.

'For the time being, I can only watch. The most urgent thing is to find a way to test martial arts and borrow the power of the imperial court. '

'And judging from the prices... it seems that a war is really going to happen?Go back and ask Qiao Zhi for his opinion. '

After shopping around, Chu Qiguang changed his clothes back and put them in his arms.This clothes can cover his family's expenses for several months, and he usually doesn't intend to wear them.

After returning home to put away the clothes, my mother asked again when she saw the new clothes, and Chu Qiguang perfunctory them one by one.

Qiao Zhi lay on the roof and yawned, and asked, "Why did you go for so long this time?"

Knowing that Chu Qiguang was going to the Taoist temple to buy ointment, Qiao Zhi was worried that he would meet a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, so he didn't go there and stayed at home.

Chu Qiguang: "I went for a walk in the county town."

"elder brother!"

At this moment, I saw my sister put down the fish eggs and rushed over, hugged Chu Qiguang's thigh, and asked pitifully, "I miss you."

Chu Qiguang: "I think you want to eat meat, but you didn't get any meat today."

Ergou sister's face collapsed, she immediately let go of her clasped hands, turned around and ran back into the house.

But after a while, she ran out again, holding half a piece of baked bread and handing it to Chu Qiguang: "Brother, I left this for you in the morning, and you will catch rabbits tomorrow when you are full, and you will be able to catch them." arrive."

Chu Qiguang held the baked bread and touched his sister's head, only to think that although the other party was a little silly, she was also quite cute.

He took out the steamed cakes with fruit stuffing from the county and handed them to his younger sister: "Although the meat didn't arrive, I bought two pieces of pies, so share them with your mother."

After taking a bite of the pie, my sister looked at the pie in shock: "What is this?"

Chu Qiguang: "Poor silly boy, he hasn't even eaten pie." '

The younger sister on the other side was already holding the pie, and couldn't wait to run to the mother's side, shouting as she ran, "Mom! Come and eat it! This is better than meat!"

Ergou's mother asked: "Where is the piece of baked bread I left for Gouzi, why is it gone?"

The younger sister said: "I have already given it to my brother, and he is very happy to eat it. Mother, you should try this better than meat..."

Standing outside the door, Chu Qiguang rubbed his forehead, unexpectedly being exploited by his sister half of the pie.

Qiao Zhi, Yudan, and Jinxiu on the side rubbed against each other, licked each other's neck and tail, turned their heads and said to Chu Qiguang, "Tell your sister not to bully my cat."

Chu Qiguang asked curiously, "Has he bullied Yudan and Jinxiu?"

Qiao Zhi was dissatisfied and said: "She actually wants Mao to farm for him! Fortunately, Yudan and Jinxiu pretended to be fools and passed by. You have to take good care of your sister."

Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Direct the animals to farm?"

Seeing him like this, Qiao Zhi froze, cursing in his heart: "Gah...won't it give him any inspiration, right?" '

However, Chu Qiguang did not respond to Qiao Zhi, and then he distributed the exchanged copper coins to Ergou's mother for three hundred coins. The copper coins exchanged from the silver shop were not bad, and the copper content was not low. It's half a tael of silver.

Then Chu Qiguang told his mother that he was working for the Wang family now, so there was no need to worry about the food tax this time, and the Wang family would help solve it.

Before leaving, he told the other party not to reveal his wealth, so Chu Qiguang took Bailian Gao and Qiao Zhi to the back mountain.

This time, Qiao Zhi patted the ointment on Chu Qiguang's body. This Bailian ointment is indeed the signature ointment taught by Tianshi. With Qiao Zhi's pat, a trace of the ointment directly penetrates the skin and blends into Chu Qiguang's body. In Qi Guang's flesh and blood.

Qiao Zhi said: "The first time you use Bailian ointment, the effect is the best. You must wait for the medicine to penetrate into the flesh and blood before you start practicing, so that the first time you use the medicine to get the maximum effect."

Chu Qiguang only felt a stream of flames rising up in his body, which made him unable to help but want to pour out the strength of his body and release the flames.

"Forbearance!" Qiao Zhi shouted, "Wait until I finish applying the ointment."

When Qiao Zhi finished applying all the ointment and slapped Chu Qiguang's vest with his last palm, he felt as if gunpowder had been detonated in his body. Body punch.

This set of basic boxing techniques taught by Tianshi is the only martial art that Chu Qiguang knows. Every time he performs it from beginning to end, he can exercise the muscles and bones of the whole body and integrate the strength of the whole body.

At this moment, there seemed to be an endless supply of power in his body. As he performed this set of punches again and again, the medicinal power of Bailian Gao was continuously absorbed by his flesh and blood.After half an hour, Chu Qiguang was completely exhausted, and the power of the medicine was completely absorbed by his body.

But with a wave of his fist, Chu Qiguang said regretfully: "I still haven't been able to break through to the first level."

Qiao Zhi, who was on the side, said, "I told you that martial arts is not Taoism, and you can break through the realm without blinking an eye. This time, you use Bailian ointment to assist your cultivation. Not only the flesh and blood are fully nourished by the medicine, but also the spirit of the sky is tempered." With the assistance of fists, the progress is bound to be not small."

"But you have just finished training. Not only is your physical strength exhausted, but also your whole body's muscles need to be recovered to strengthen after being exercised. You can break through immediately after using medicine."

"You continue to eat tonic, meditate, and nourish your body. When your physical strength and muscles are restored tomorrow, your physical body will naturally break through."

So Chu Qiguang continued to meditate, nourish his body, and learn to read and write under the guidance of Qiao Zhi.

That night, he found time to go to Wang's house again, and fulfilled his promise to give "treatment" to Wang Cailiang, the young master of Wang's family every day.

……

Just like that, we arrived at the back mountain in the early morning of the next day.

Feeling that his body had completely recovered, Chu Qiguang let out a low drink, punched the air with his fist, and made a crackling sound.

Then he continued to punch and kick, each blow seemed to explode the air, making the sound of wind and thunder.

After more than 20 punches in a row, Chu Qiguang felt his physical strength decline, so he couldn't hit the air blast.

He stopped to take a few breaths, smiled and said: "Since practicing martial arts, I have always worked hard, like walking on thin ice, and I dare not relax at any moment. It has been six days! After six days of hard work, I have finally reached the first level of martial arts. Looking back, the past is like smoke."

'Blow it like six years. Qiao Zhi thought that Chu Qiguang had only practiced martial arts for six days and reached the first level. He couldn't help cursing inwardly, "Six days is nothing but hard training."

Chu Qiguang looked at his body with satisfaction after breaking through to the first level of martial arts.

After six days of foundation building, medicinal supplements, food supplements and training, the originally thin body has become slightly stronger. Obvious muscle lines can be seen in the limbs and trunk parts, and even the height has grown a little.

He touched his abdominal muscles and said: "If you are at the first level of martial arts, you can go to the Yinglue Hall in the county, right?"

The so-called Yinglue Hall was originally a martial arts school funded by several wealthy families in Qingyang County. It was dedicated to cultivating talents for their respective families to participate in martial arts.

However, as the influence of the wealthy clan in Qingyang County became more and more entrenched, more and more gentry and eunuchs sent their children to the Yinglue Hall.

Today, as all the places in Qingyang County to participate in martial arts are monopolized by these gentry and wealthy families, although it is not clearly stated in the martial arts county exam every three years, the participants are all students of Yinglue Hall.

So if you want to take the martial arts test in Qingyang County, you must first join the Yinglue Hall.

There are two conditions for joining. The first is to have the first level of martial arts, the level of energy penetrating the whole body.The second is the need for someone to recommend.

As far as Chu Qiguang knew, Wang Cailiang's father, Wang Chengwang, had studied in the Yinglue Hall, and he was very familiar with some officials and wealthy households in the county, so he was qualified to recommend him.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone
