Chapter 19 Swordsmanship
A month later, in Zhang Wei's small courtyard.

At this time, there was a young man holding a sword, flying up and down in the courtyard, the long sword in his hand was flying like a horse, the cold light was full, and the sword light was compelling.

Suddenly, the young man withdrew his sword sharply, and then proceeded to thrust forward, an unpretentious straight thrust towards the bluestone standing in the courtyard.

With a sound of 'z', the long sword sank three inches into the bluestone.But the young man flipped his hand and stirred the sword, the tip of the sword that had sunk into the bluestone collapsed, and directly punched the bluestone into a small hole about the size of a bowl and three inches deep.

"Young master is amazing!" Xiaoqian on the side blushed with excitement, clapped her hands and jumped up, applauding loudly.

The father Zhang next to him was stunned.He never imagined that in just one month of hard work, Zhang Wei would change from a thin and weak scholar with no strength to a chicken, to a powerful warrior with a sword piercing through bluestone today.

Zhang Wei played a foil sword, put the Songshan sword back into the scabbard, and then said to Zhang's father, "Father, is this son's swordsmanship still attractive to you?"

Father Zhang gave him an angry look, so he said that this kid called him here today just to show off?
In a month's time, my son didn't know what he ate. He changed from a thin and thin person to a tall and straight young man. Although he was still a little thin, he was no different from a normal person.

And Zhang Wei himself knew that during this month, relying on Shengu Dan and practicing swords, he had nourished his body.

Even taller.

As for swordsmanship, apart from the fact that good sword moves need more time to hone, the inner qi cultivated by Matsuyama Neijing has reached the level mentioned in the book, 'inner qi is surging like a horse, continuous like a river, and evergreen like a pine'. It is the record with the highest internal energy in the Songshan Sword Classic.

According to the book, this is the realm that ordinary people need to practice day and night for 30 years to reach.And Zhang Wei only needed 30 days to achieve it by relying on Songjian Pill.

And Songjiandan can continue to eat, and this skill can continue to rise.The sword he has at hand has been able to open mountains and crack rocks, precisely because of the strong inner qi support.

Of course, in addition to the strong internal energy, there is also Zhang Wei's own strength bonus.He ate two ginseng pills, and his strength increased by 120 jin.

Father Zhang was silent for a while, and then said: "There is still half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you can go and pay homage to your mother."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.Now that he has recovered, he has to go to pay respects to his mother out of emotion and reason.

The tomb of his mother Zhou's was buried in the Zhang family's ancestral grave. As Zhang's father's official wife, she was qualified to be buried in the Zhang family's ancestral grave.

Zhang's father continued: "You should also pay a visit to the elders in the family. Zhang Zhong, I let him be a shopkeeper. You should also tell the elders in the village about this matter, and you will have an explanation."

Zhang Wei continued to nod.

Zhang Zhong was adopted as a stepson, but now that Zhang Wei is healed, there is no need for a stepson, after all, it is better to be his own.But Zhang Zhong has been with Zhang's father for so many years, and Zhang's father did not directly send him back to the village to farm, but let him be the shopkeeper of a shop, which is also a good way out.

Zhang's father also had some grain stores, cloth stores and oil stores in Asan.The Zhang family's business is mainly cross-regional trading, and these stores are opened purely for the convenience of the same clan in the village.

Zhang's father was born in Zhangjia Village, although it is a big village, but the village has only produced such a rich man as Zhang's father in a hundred years, and only such a scholar as Zhang Wei.

After Zhang’s father made a fortune, he did not forget the villagers. He opened grain stores, cloth stores, and oil stores to buy grain, cloth, and oil from the villagers. These few shops of Zhang's father basically do not make money, they can only be said to protect their capital.

Although the Eshan Zhang family is a big family, it is not a prominent family, it is just a lot of people.If you want to become a big family and become a famous family, you still need some famous people to be able to support this big family.

In the afternoon, the servants harnessed the mule cart.Zhang Wei took a lot of presents and set off towards Zhangjia Village with Xiaoqian.

Zhangjia Village is 35 miles away from Eshan County, which is the most marginal village.Moreover, the village is on the edge of Asan, so the transportation is inconvenient.The biggest disadvantage of inconvenient transportation is that agricultural products cannot be shipped out, so that the villagers are very poor.

Fortunately, after Zhang's father became prosperous, he built bridges and roads in the village, so that the supplies in the village could flow out, which finally made the life of the villagers a lot better.Therefore, Father Zhang's prestige in Zhangjia Village is very high, even more useful than the words of the patriarch.

The servants drove the mules, and the mules pulled the cart along the county road.When it was almost dusk, it was not far from Zhangjia Village.

At this time, a small team appeared on the road.

The servant who was driving the car immediately became alert and said to Zhang Wei in the car, "Master, there is a group of people ahead."

Zhang Wei, who was resting on Xiaoqian's lap, immediately sat up and opened the curtain to look over.

The team was dozens of steps ahead, the leader was riding a horse, and the others followed beside him.

Looking at this person, Zhang Wei suddenly felt a little familiar.Then he remembered.

The person riding a horse in front of him is the Sun family, a big family in Eshan.His name is Sun Chao, and he is a donated student.

This Sun family once had a master, who has been rooted in Eshan County for a long time, and can be regarded as a big family in Eshan.And this Sun Chao is the son of the patriarch.

The Sun family had no choice but to get a donation for Sun Chao so that he could legally arm himself.Why did Zhang Wei know him? It was because a few years ago at the scholar party, this donated student dared to attend, but was sprayed back by a few poor scholars.

"It's just a donation, and Dou Da doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, yet he dares to come to the scholar party! You are a donator, you have to pay attention to your identity!"

At that time, the scholar was wearing a starched and white scholar's robe, and he pointed at Sun Chao who was wearing a brocade scholar's robe and cursed at him.

But everyone didn't think there was any problem with this. Can a scholar who came from donations be compared with the scholars who have been tested seriously?

At that time, Sun Chao was scolded so disheartened that he had no choice but to swallow his breath and leave. Since then, he never came to the gathering of scholars again.After that, Zhang Wei's health deteriorated day by day, and he seldom attended gatherings of scholars.

Seeing him here now, thanks to Zhang Wei's strong memory, I immediately thought of him.

So, Zhang Wei got off the mule cart, cupped his hands at him in the distance, and said, "Sun Tongmen, I'm Zhang Wei. Do you remember me?"

Sun Chao over there looked at Zhang Wei, hesitated for a moment, then got off his horse and came over, saying: "Zhang Tongmen is famous, why don't I remember. I heard that your health has recovered recently, and now I see that it is indeed the case."

Zhang Wei smiled and asked, "Sun Tongmen, what are you doing?"

Sun Chao cupped his hands and said, "You can just call me Sun Chao, and you can't be a fellow student. I have nothing to do at home, and I will bring some servants to make inspections."
