Immortal, I only practice forbidden arts

Chapter 27 Tiger Hunting Village

years later.

The cold spring is cold and the ice on the river has not yet completely melted. The herb collectors in Pingan Town carry their medicine baskets and go into the mountains one after another to start the new year's work.

In the depths of the forest, the snow and ice on the wooden roof melted slowly, and several puddles dripped on the ground, where unknown water bugs scurried around...

Under the eaves, a small clay stove was burning, and the tea was gurgling. Jiang Ming was reclined on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed, casually humming a tune from his previous life.

"I'm in the city tower...watching...the mountain scenery...I can hear...chaos outside the city..."

He originally wanted to stay in the town for a few more days, but he didn't expect that many strangers would come to Ping'an Town just after the new year.

Jiang Ming was too lazy to inquire, so he handed over the house to A Fei to take care of him, carried the medicine basket on his back and went into the mountains, practicing boxing and drinking tea every day, leisurely.

The prescription of the secret martial arts medicine that Jiang Ming obtained was similar to that studied by Jiang Ming, but there are a few herbs that are not found in the mountains, and the medicinal soup that is brewed is always almost interesting...

"But it's much better than a messy stew. Drink a bowl of this medicinal soup every day... My current blood is more than three to five times stronger than when I first joined the martial arts. I'm only one step away from a third-rate martial artist."

"It's also time to go to Fucheng to learn martial arts..." Jiang Ming let out a long breath, stood up from his chair, and there was no point in staying any longer.

One step away, it may also be a natural moat!
Old Zhou Tou wandered all his life in the middle of nowhere, but failed to cross that threshold. Now he has many temples and has been ill for a hundred years...

When Jiang Ming walked into the pharmacy, it was almost empty, and most of the medicinal materials had been carried by him to the drug market to sell.

There were only some rare and expensive medicinal materials left, and Jiang Ming stuffed them all into medicine baskets, and prepared to bring them into the city to sell in pharmacies. The price would be four or five times higher than the purchase price in the medicine market.

As for the ten times the fine, he didn't care at all, anyway, he didn't plan to go back to be a herbal picker anytime soon...

Jiang Ming took out the money bag from under the bed board again, and weighed it in his hand.

With the money he earned from collecting herbs in the past half a year, plus the two windfalls, Jiang Ming's current wealth is nearly 200 taels of silver, which is enough to live in Fucheng for a long time.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the cold fog filled the air, and the slanting moon hung in the distance.

"Fourth Master, see you by fate!" Jiang Ming put a white rabbit back into the mountain and waved his hand.

Wild animals dormant in the mountains in winter, but Fourth Master Bai has lived until now. After eating the carrots, he gave him a lot of herbs.

goo goo~
The rabbit reluctantly arched its front legs in a bow, and then disappeared into the forest...

Jiang Ming also left with the medicine basket on his back, did not return to Ping'an Town, and went directly to Fucheng.

He found a pharmacy, sold all the medicinal materials in the medicine basket, and made more than 20 taels of silver, and then he went straight to Liehuzhuang.

"Lao Zhoutou learned Fuhu Fist from here. If I want to continue learning martial arts... of course this is the most suitable place."

At the gate of Liehu Manor, the gate was open, and two strong men with strong vitality stood at the gate casually, but they looked like two fierce tigers, making people dare not approach at will.

With his luggage on his back, Jiang Ming slowly walked up to the two of them, cupping his hands slightly: "The herb picker in Ping'an Town——Jiang Ming, come to ask for a way out."

"Go in." A strong man raised his eyelids and said lightly.

The beginning of spring is the time when all major forces are recruiting people, and Liehuzhuang is no exception. In the past few days, many people have come to sign up and wait for the entrance examination.

Stepping through the two dark and thick gates, Jiang Ming, led by a servant, passed through the front yard, garden and other places, and finally came to a practice square paved with bluestone.

At this time, in the square, there were already a dozen people of different ages gathered, among them was a dark-skinned woman with thick bones and steady eyes... It looked like she had practiced martial arts.

And in front of these people, several people with uniform costumes are competing for trials.

To be precise, seven or eight people were carrying wooden knives and sticks, and they were besieging a big naked man with stubble on his face, eight feet tall, and he was attacking all directions with his bare hands, like a tiger attacking. unspeakable.

Bang bang bang!
Those wooden knives and sticks smashed on the big man, making an overwhelmed creaking sound. Due to excessive force, a disciple unexpectedly broke the wooden stick into two pieces with a "click".

"See, this is the most powerful headhunter in our village, Mr. Guan Feng, a second-rate warrior!" The servant said to Jiang Ming proudly: "If you are lucky enough to pass the examination, remember to salute Mr. Guan Feng when you see him in the future. ,do you know?"

"I know, I know..." Jiang Ming said quickly, but smiled in his heart.

This Guan Feng's strength is obviously far superior to those of those few people. If he really made a move, he might be able to shoot a large piece of air with a slap. At this time, he deliberately showed his strength like this, obviously to show off to these outsiders...

"Okay, it's time!" Guan Feng seemed to have just seen people like Jiang Ming, and ordered: "Close the door and start today's assessment."

The servant left in a hurry, while Guan Feng turned his head and stared at Jiang Ming and the others.

He was still exuding heat, and no matter who he glanced at with his tiger eyes, he would make the opponent's body tighten, as if being stared at by a ferocious tiger that would prey on anyone.

"I know, all of you are here... to join my Liehu Village!" Guan Feng said loudly after finishing his tour:
"I believe everyone has heard of the rules of this village. No money is accepted from you... If you fail the assessment, even if you send money, the village will not accept anyone!"

"And if you pass the assessment, you will be a member of Liehuzhuang from now on, and you will share honor and disgrace from now on! In Dayun Mansion...no matter where you are bullied, you can come to me, and the village will definitely stand up for you and seek justice!"

"Okay..." There were enthusiastic shouts in the square, and everyone was very excited, wishing to join Liehu Village immediately.

Jiang Ming also admired it in his heart. This approach is many times better than those martial arts gyms in the city that charge ten taels of silver a month...

But... the assessment of Liehu Manor may not be easy.

Soon, everyone was taken to a narrow side alley.

The alley is two to three meters wide and tens of meters long. It is filled with wooden dummy posts for practicing exercises. What is strange is that the bottom of the pilings are thick and long, interlaced with other wooden dummy posts.

"This is the 'Wooden Tiger Formation' of my Tiger Hunting Village. Any hunter including me...must practice this formation every day!" Guan Feng introduced: "The faster you pass, the higher your status in the village. Get higher!"

"If you pass within one stick of incense, you can pass the assessment and join the village, and if you pass half a stick of incense, you can join the Tiger Hunting Team..."

"Pass ten breaths...you can become a headhunter!"

Call ~
Such a simple and crude assessment method instantly made everyone short of breath and excited.

No need to play tricks, no need to engage in relationships, as long as you have enough strength, you can have corresponding interests and status. The seemingly simple rules are enough to impress anyone...
