Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 44 044, the chivalrous life is not complete without robbing the rich and helping the poor
The task entrusted to Shen Lang by the county magistrate was to accompany Mr. Zhang on his visits and investigations.

Now that Zhang Wenbin has left, Shen Lang doesn't even need to ask for leave, and he skips work and goes home directly after lunch.

After several days of planning, Zhao Mengshan, who was full of crimes, was finally executed. The case was also put on the head of Xueying Jiao by the magistrate of Yingming County. Shen Lang felt relaxed for a while, but he was not idle.

He couldn't hear Mr. Zhang's voice.

I don't know the real reason why Mr. Zhang is in a hurry to return to Fucheng. I thought that the surname Zhang was going back to Fucheng to rescue soldiers, so he didn't dare to relax. Just like the previous few days, after returning home, he stood in the yard under the sun. Li Qin practiced martial arts.

After attributing the small bones and getting the first-level "bone strengthening" from the small bones, his realm has entered the middle of the eighth rank, and he can already practice the kung fu of "ten steps, one kill".

And this eighth-rank kung fu for refining muscles and bones is still a set of boxing skills, with a total of 21 moves.

Of course, this set of boxing is still just a training routine, there are many strange moves that twist the body into various strange shapes, even twisted into a twist, similar to juggling.

After practicing, it can strengthen the tendons and bones, increase strength, agility, and strengthen the physique. It can also perform, but it cannot kill the enemy.

Just like the strength-training routines for cultivating the ninth-rank realm before, no matter how weird the moves are, Shen Lang also quickly mastered these 21 moves for strengthening the muscles and bones, and played them smoothly from beginning to end in the first pass.

After a short break, do it again.

Just like this three times in a row, not only was he so tired that he was sweating all over, but even his muscles, ligaments, bones and joints felt aching. This was because he had a first-level agility and a first-level bone strengthening. The strength far exceeds that of a martial artist of the ninth rank.

Otherwise, after the completion of the Ninth Grade, a martial artist who has just started to practice the Eighth Grade, if he can practice the 21-stroke muscle-strengthening routine for three or four strokes in one go, it is already very good.

Normally speaking, due to the existence of those juggling strange moves that twist the body to the utmost, when practicing this set of eight-grade boxing skills, one should take apart each move and practice each move. Practice together at the end.

And Shen Lang not only practiced the whole set for the first time, but also played it three times in a row.In this way, the exercise effect is of course very good, but the body has almost reached its limit, and it is impossible to continue to practice forcefully, otherwise it will hurt the muscles and bones.

When training to the limit, if conditions permit, of course, you should apply ointment or soak in a medicated bath to quickly repair the damage to the muscles and bones and improve the strength of the muscles and bones.

But Shen Lang, who used to take the medicinal bath every day a few days ago, lost the condition to take the medicinal bath and make rapid progress today.

He is running out of money.

In the days since he came to Changsheng County, he can be said to have spent money like water.

Just to buy a gun, it cost a full 60 silver dollars because of the rush to work.

Including three long swords and three waist knives, the total cost was [-] silver dollars, and it cost [-] silver dollars to soak in medicinal baths for several consecutive days. , Yu sits in a box every day, keeps adding wine and food until closing time, the silver dollars spent, and the purchase of various daily necessities, and the advance payment of half a year's rent...

Counting all kinds of expenses, more than 170 silver dollars have been spent.

Now, there are only about twenty silver dollars and a pile of copper left on him.

More than 20 silver dollars, plus a large amount of food supplies stored in the space, if he just lives at home, even if he, cats and fish are big eaters, he can eat big fish and meat for a long time with his belly open every day.

But taking a medicinal bath to practice martial arts is not enough.

The medicated bath bag of the Ninth Grade Realm costs five yuan for a pair.

The medicinal bath pack formula of the eighth-grade realm has been fully upgraded. Just looking at the formula, the names of the main medicines that are unusual at first glance: iron tendon thorn fruit, dragon's spine fish back tendon, copper skin Erythrina tree root, iron back black spider silk sac ...

These main medicines have never appeared in the previous nine-grade medicated bath formula.

Since it is a comprehensive upgrade, these kinds of main medicinal materials that Shen Lang has never heard of are obviously more expensive and rare.

It is unknown whether there are enough medicine shops in a small place like Changsheng County.

Even if they can be fully matched, the price will probably go up somersaults.

The ninth-grade medicated bath packs that cost five yuan a pair were already very expensive, but the eighth-grade medicated bath packs should be priced at ten yuan a pair or even more expensive?
What can you do with just over 20 silver dollars?
You can't even soak in a medicated bath, let alone refining ointments and oils with more demanding materials and better effects.

"Practicing martial arts is not easy!"

Shen Lang massaged and relaxed his muscles and bones with secret techniques, and sighed with emotion:
"It's no wonder that martial arts can be practiced with hands, there is almost no threshold, and there are still so few masters. The strongest master in the Changsheng County Government is actually only a mere seventh-rank... and the success rate of a first-rank master is even more than one in a billion." Terrible proportions.

"Not to mention aptitude, comprehension, and kung fu, just the resources for training martial arts alone will be difficult for many warriors who are not born well enough and whose families are not rich enough.

"Warriors with poor family backgrounds probably have the possibility of practicing advanced martial arts unless they have aptitude against the sky and are lucky enough to meet an expert who is happy to see Liexin. They can be cultivated under the apprentice of an expert."

Shen Lang felt that with his aptitude and savvy, he was qualified to be favored by experts and be greatly cultivated.

But now, he has either passively or actively stamped on Mu Qingxue's mark.

Even the martial arts he practiced are nominally interpreted by Mu Qingxue for him.

Even if he wants to join any sect in the future, he probably can only follow Mu Qingxue's sect.

In other words, Mu Qingxue is worth 20 taels of gold every time he makes a move, so he should have the money to cultivate him, right?

It's a pity that Mu Qingxue is currently busy hunting big tigers, no one knows where he is, let alone when he will remember that Changsheng County gave him back a little brother like Shen Lang.

When Shen Lang was worried about having no money, Xiao Zhao suddenly jumped out:

[Shen Lang, are you actually worrying about money?So worthless!Among us heroes, who hasn't robbed families... No, who hasn't robbed the rich and helped the poor?Now that our family is so poor, of course it should be robbed of the wealth of the rich and unkind, and help our poor meow! 】

Shen Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"It's okay to rob the rich and help the poor. If a big family like the Zhao family is robbed, it will be robbed. But after robbing such a rich and unscrupulous family, after getting the money, shouldn't they go out to help the poor? How can you take the money for yourself? The reason for spending. The gamblers and gamblers are like gamblers. They never squander the money they win, and use it to do good things..."

[Meow~ Your moral and cleanliness obsession is unacceptable.Then think about it, if you got rich by robbing and helped your own poor, and practiced a peerless miraculous skill with this, wouldn’t you be able to uphold justice for more innocent victims but helpless kind people who are powerless to resist?Besides, aren't you a grand thief who claims to be both good and evil?Since they are both good and evil, and they are still grand thieves, why bother meow? 】

"Even if you're right."

Shen Lang spread his hands:

"However, I'm a public official now. If there is always money that doesn't meet my income level for no reason, and there is news that a big family has been stolen, wouldn't it be self-reporting?"

[Just steal the flowers, there is always a way.Stealing from the rich and helping the poor is a compulsory course for heroes, a chivalrous life without robbing the rich and helping the poor is incomplete. 】

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless for a moment, and seriously thought about Xiao Zhao's proposal.

In other words, he is using his ideas to influence his own goblins, but why aren't his little goblins using the goblin's lawless and unrestrained nature to influence him in turn?
"There are not many big families in Changsheng County, and the one with the worst reputation is the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family is at the cusp of the crisis. Even if Xiao Zhao is good at stealth, it is not good for him to work in the Zhao family in this turmoil. You have to slow down for a while... ...Actually, it's better to have an open and aboveboard way to get money..."

[Then go catch the gangsters and get a reward for suppressing bandits and bandits! 】

Shen Lang's eyes lit up:
"You can have this! Go to the yamen tomorrow to see if there are any rewards for Jiangyang bandits, bandits and bandits within our ability..."

[Ask for a ticket to rob the rich and help the poor~! 】
