Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 92
But this also sounded the alarm for Su Yu.

Buy ancient martial arts on the black market, because I don't know the ancient characters, even if I bought a fake, I can't find trouble with the stall owner.

Not only that, because it was the first time to buy an ancient martial art on the street, Su Yu also had a mentality of finding mistakes, and did not realize that ancient martial arts may also be falsified.

The ancient martial arts book in his hand undoubtedly taught Su Yu a lesson.

Finding someone else to translate the ancient martial arts, after all, is subject to everywhere, and there is no way to know whether the ancient martial arts are true in the first place.

"Now it seems that I can only avoid being deceived when I meet someone selling ancient martial arts next time I learn the ancient characters myself."

Su Yu looked at the content of the ancient martial arts in his hand and couldn't help sighing.

Although he paid the tuition fees in the black market, Su Yu didn't feel much upset.

After all, even if he bought the real ancient martial arts this time, sooner or later he will still encounter this kind of thing.

As the saying goes, if you eat a pit, you will gain wisdom. With today's lesson, you will not continue to fall on it next time.

Learning ancient characters became one of Su Yu's next goals.

Then Su Yu took out another pair of tonics, washed the medicinal materials briefly, and then boiled them.

After drinking the tonic and resting for half an hour, Su Yu said silently: "Open the system panel."

……

【Host】: Su Yu
【Shou Yuan】: Immortality

[Cultivation base]: Early stage of body training+
[Martial Arts]: Inch extension (limit-breaking skill)

[Danshu]: Blood Qi Powder (Entry) + Yuan Qi Pill (Entry) +
[attribute]: 2 points

Just as he said he expected, a second attribute appeared in the attribute column.

Su Yu couldn't help feeling a little happy.

If nothing unexpected, the three sets of medicinal materials left in his hand should still provide him with two attributes, enough for him to raise his cultivation level to the late stage of body training.

Su Yu immersed his mind in the column of cultivation, and said silently: "Add more points!"

With the transformation from the initial stage of body training in the column of cultivation base to the middle stage of body training, a surge of vitality rises from the abdomen, and then melts away with a bang, sweeping away along the eight extraordinary meridians, and then all of it flows into the dantian
In the dantian, a vitality vortex floating in mid-air is spinning rapidly.

It's just that as the abundant vitality continuously flows into the dantian, there are ripples and vibrations next to the vitality vortex, and then a prototype of the vitality vortex appears, until it expands rapidly and transforms into a complete vitality vortex again.

The whole process has not yet come to an end, the vitality is still pouring into the dantian continuously, until the third vitality vortex is fully formed in the dantian
In the middle of body training!

The distinction between the realms of body refinement warriors is very simple.

Once the first vortex of vitality is condensed, it is considered to have entered the initial stage of body refining.

Three vitality vortexes are the middle stage, six vitality vortexes are the late stage, and nine vitality vortexes are the completion.

Until you condense nine vitality vortexes to reach the perfection of body refining, you can try to condense your own copper skin and hit the eighth-grade copper skin!
"Phew, we have finally entered the middle stage of body training."

Su Yu opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air, and in his deep, ink-like eyes, three vitality vortexes slowly disappeared.

The next day.

Su Yu got up early, washed up, dressed neatly, had breakfast on the street, and then headed towards Zhenwusi.

Before arriving at Zhenwu Division, Su Yu bumped into Ji Longcheng and Chen Beijiang on the road, who were holding two meat buns and gnawing on them.

Seeing Su Yu, their eyes lit up, and they quickened their pace to meet him.

"Brother Su, good morning."

Ji Longcheng ate the steaming meat buns in one bite, and said wholeheartedly.

So dignified two rich second generations, just eat something like this for breakfast?
The corner of Su Yu's mouth twitched, and he greeted with a smile, "Good morning."

The three chatted and walked in the direction of Zhen Wusi.

Go to Zhenwu Division to order Mao, and then start fishing.

The three of them had lunch at the Junyue Inn at noon, Su Yu politely declined Ji Longcheng's proposal to listen to the music at the Goulan in the afternoon, and walked straight to Kong Yangming's house.

Kong Yangming was a well-known Confucian in Tai'an City, and he was proficient in ancient characters.

Perhaps because of the character of the literati, and dissatisfied with the darkness and intrigue in the officialdom, he resigned and settled in Tai'an City.

Although he is full of economics, he is not good at mixing. He can only make a living by helping people write couplets all year round.

But in Tai'an City, the prices are high, and Kong Yangming will also take on some translation work.

Su Yu was recommended by someone before, and he was one of the translators he was looking for to translate ancient martial arts.

Kong Yangming's family lived in a poor area of ​​Tai'an City. Apart from him, there was a grandson in the family. His son started a business in his early years and died at the hands of robbers. His daughter-in-law took care of the housework until she died of illness.

"Hmph, ha, Wan Lun, you have died under my katana, now you have to lie on the ground and act like a corpse."

Before Su Yu reached Kong Yangming's house, he heard Kong Jingming, the grandson of Kong Yangming, carrying a wooden long knife in the alley beside him, going in and out three times amidst the siege of seven or eight playmates.

Well, he is now playing the role of a Zhenwuwei who kills the Quartet.

The influence of the Zhenwu Division undoubtedly penetrated into the homes of all the people in the Kyushu of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Although Zhenwuwei often searched for money from rich merchants, compared to the stability maintained under Zhenwuwei's rule, ordinary people undoubtedly held great gratitude for Zhenwuwei.

Just like the last time the whole city was searched for Gu Yuanjie's whereabouts, rich merchants were most affected, while ordinary households like Kong Yangming were not affected at all.

Zhenwuwei also knows very well that it is difficult to find money for such a family, and generally they will not think about making a fortune from these poor people.

In addition, when many ordinary people are educating their children at home, they also hope that their children can become a town guard and change their own destiny from then on.

Affected by family education, many children will unconsciously substitute themselves into the identity of Zhenwuwei since they are sensible. The only requirement to play Zhenwuwei is to have a wooden Zhenwu sword.

Obviously, Kong Jingming, who owns a wooden sword, is the king of children among this group of playmates.

When he saw Su Yu wearing a flying fish suit, Kong Jingming, who was having a fiery fight with his playmates, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to meet him.

Kong Jingming asked: "Brother Su, why are you here?"

Although the words were addressed to Su Yu, his eyes were staring straight at the Zhen Wu Dao hanging from Su Yu's waist, his eyes were full of envy.

"Look what I brought you?"

Su Yu flipped his wrist, and there was already a bunch of candied haws in his hand.

"Wow, thank you Brother Su!"

Kong Jingming took the candied haws from Su Yu, and said with a look of surprise.

A bunch of candied haws worth a copper coin is a rare snack for him.

Several playmates in the distance saw this scene, their little faces were full of envy.

For children from poor families like them, a bunch of candied haws is worth a copper. They can't even get enough to eat, so how can they have the money to buy such snacks.

"Here, Jingming, here are six copper coins, you take five of them to the street to buy a bunch of candied haws each, and the remaining one copper coin will be yours."

Su Yu put the six copper coins in Kong Jingming's hand and said with a smile.

Looking at the six copper coins in his hand, Kong Jing exclaimed: "Thank you, Brother Su!"

"Brother Su said, buy a bunch of candied haws for everyone."

Kong Jingming waved the copper coins in his hand in front of the other five friends, and said, "Everyone, thank you, Brother Su."

"Thank you, Brother Su!"

The other five teenagers said loudly.

Su Yu patted Kong Jingming's head, and said with a smile: "Go, be careful on the street."

Looking at the backs of Kong Jingming and the other five friends going away, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

In his previous life, he had encountered such a situation once, but the role he played at that time was one of those five people.

It's just a pity that at that time, he could only watch helplessly as his little friend was eating a fruit called mango.

When he grows up later, the money he earns is enough for him to buy a lot of mangoes, but he is no longer the boy he used to be, and he has already passed the age of gluttony.

Su Yu walked straight into Kong Yangming's house. Compared with the area where the rich people lived in Tai'an City, Kong Yangming's house undoubtedly looked very shabby.

There are only simple wooden furniture, pots and pans in the house, and the kitchen serves as the living room and dining room. There are piles of firewood, and there is nothing valuable as far as the eye can see.

"Old Kong, the boy is here to bother you again."

Su Yu walked into the study and said with a smile.

What came into my eyes was an old man with a thin face and full head of white hair. This man was Kong Yangming. He was 73 years old today. Although he was poor and his linen robes had been washed and turned white, he was extremely neat and tidy.

At this moment, he was lying on an old rocking chair, sipping cheap tea leisurely.

When he came here for the first time, Su Yu drank once.

The tea gave him the feeling that it was just a kind of tea roasted from any kind of leaves. It was not only bitter, but also had a muddy smell. It didn't seem like it could be used for people to drink.

"Oh?"

Seeing Su Yu, Kong Yangming couldn't help but startled.

Not many people asked him to translate ancient texts, which also made him very impressed with Su Yu.

I only earned ten taels of silver from Su Yu yesterday, and I was still wondering when the other party would come to patronize me again, but I didn't expect the other party to come to my door so soon.

"Xiao Su, do you need to translate the ancient text?"

Kong Yangming straightened his waist and couldn't help asking.

"No." Su Yu shook his head.

Kong Yangming was puzzled when he heard the words, he took a sip of hot tea and said, "Then why are you here looking for this old man?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "I want to learn the characters of ancient times."

"Pfft!"

The tea that Kong Yangming had just drank into his mouth was sprayed out.

He stared wide-eyed, looked at Su Yu in a daze, and said in a voiceless voice, "Do you want to learn the characters of ancient times?"

What Su Yu said made him puzzled.

The writing of ancient times has reached the present, and few people are willing to learn it.

At the beginning, when he learned ancient characters, it was only because he had nothing to do in his spare time, and then he studied systematically under the guidance of his husband.

Now that decades have passed, the entire Tai'an City can still recognize all the people with ancient characters, which can be counted with two hands.

And Su Yu, as Zhenwuwei, was busy with affairs and needed to spend a lot of time on cultivation every day, so he still had time to learn ancient characters?
"As a warrior and a martial guard, you don't need to waste time learning ancient characters."

Kong Yangming frowned slightly, and said lightly: "The time you wasted in practicing ancient characters is better spent on cultivation. After all, there are not many places where you need to identify ancient characters. Instead of learning, it is better to spend some money to hire someone to do it." translate."

For Su Yu, Kong Yangming still has a good impression of him, and he spends money generously, so he doesn't mind saying a few more words of persuasion.

Even he doesn't think there is any point in learning ancient characters.

"For me, ancient characters must be learned."

Su Yu groaned inwardly.

If he meets someone selling ancient martial arts in the black market next time, and he doesn't know the ancient characters, should he buy it or not?

Instead of being passive, it is better to learn the ancient characters as soon as possible, so that you will not face such a dilemma next time.

"Old Kong, you don't need to persuade the boy."

Su Yu said with a smile: "Mr. Kong might as well tell you how much tuition you need to pay to teach the boy to learn ancient characters."

"tuition fee?"

Kong Yangming couldn't help being startled, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He doesn't pay much attention to things like money. If he was an official for money, he would not resign in anger and go back to seclusion.

For ordinary people in this era, his current age can be considered an advanced age.

And his grandson, who is only nine years old now, still has a long way to go.

This is also a heart disease in his heart.

If he is lost one day, who should take care of Kong Jingming.

His dream is to become Zhenwuwei.

But for people from such a poor family, how can they support Kong Jingming to realize his dream?
It was the hurdle of raising blood energy that had already shut Kong Jingming out.

Kong Jingming is still young, maybe he hasn't realized this yet, isn't he clear?

Even if the imperial court made the martial artist's cultivation methods public, the possibility of ordinary people becoming martial artists was still very slim.

Whether it is monster meat or blood qi powder to enhance blood qi, ordinary people cannot afford it.

"Since you really want to learn, this old man can teach you without reservation."

Kong Yangming paused, and said: "As for the tuition fee, the old man needs a catty of blood!"

A catty of blood qi scattered?

Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help frowning slightly.

This request was beyond his expectation, but it was also reasonable.

If it was for money, Kong Yangming would not have resigned and retired back then.

His only weakness now is his grandson Kong Jingming.

If Kong Jingming wanted to become a martial artist, he would naturally need to use blood qi powder to increase his blood qi.

Calculated according to the lowest price of ten taels of silver for one qian of blood energy powder, one tael is 100 taels, and one catty is 1000 taels.

And this is still the lowest price. When the supply of blood qi powder is in short supply, a catty of blood qi powder can even be sold for a high price of one thousand three thousand four thousand.

However, Su Yu had learned how to refine blood qi powder before, and he only needed to pay the cost of buying blood qi powder to obtain cheap blood qi powder.

But with his current energy, he can only refine four furnaces of blood qi powder in a month.

If you refine the Blood Qi Powder, you won't be able to refine the Yuan Qi Pill to make money.

If you really want to do the math, then it is more profitable to refine the vitality pill, and then spend money to buy the scattered blood energy.

Refining four furnaces of blood qi powder in a month only earned 400 taels of silver.

Refining two furnaces of vitality pills in a month can earn 200 taels of silver.

The profit from refining two vitality pills is enough for him to pay the tuition for learning ancient characters.

Although the price is a bit high, he can still accept it if he only spends fifty yuan crystals. Learning ancient characters is of great use to him, and this amount of money cannot be saved.

"According to what Kong Lao said, I can give a catty of blood energy powder as tuition."

Su Yudao: "However, I don't have so much money, so I can only pay the tuition in several installments. However, I can guarantee that I can pay the tuition in full before I learn all the ancient characters. What does Kong Lao think?"

Hearing that Su Yu agreed, Kong Yangming couldn't help being startled.

A catty of blood qi powder is at least 1000 taels of silver, which is a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, Su Yu just thought about it for a moment, and then directly agreed to his request.

"That's okay, the old man is always free, you can come and learn when you are free."

Kong Yangming said: "If you have more time, you can fully learn it in about a month or two."

Su Yu smiled and said, "When I'm not on a mission, I'm usually free in the afternoon, so I can start today!"

"Okay, then we can start now."

"There are a total of 130 seven characters in the ancient characters, and the strokes are cumbersome and obscure. In order to make writing easier and faster, the characters of the later generations are obtained by simplifying the characters of the ancient times."

"This is why the writing of today is similar to the writing of ancient times."

"In addition, the ancient times have been tens of thousands of years. Many ancient texts in ancient books have already been translated. Only some ancient tombs that have not been excavated in the ancient times will unearth some martial arts from the ancient times. There will be certain discrepancies in the ancient characters.”

"However, because ancient martial arts are difficult to cultivate, almost no one cares about ancient martial arts in this era."

Speaking of this, Kong Yangming couldn't help but glance at Su Yu.

The other party came twice and spent a lot of money to get him to translate the ancient text. Actually, there is no need to guess the content on it, as he knows it is an ancient martial art.

It's just that Su Yu was very clever, so he re-transcribed and messed up all the words on it, so that part of his translation was also incomplete. Presumably, he didn't give him the entire book of ancient martial arts to translate.

In this way, except for Su Yu himself, no one else can spy on the entire content of this ancient martial arts book.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart.

Su Yu translated ancient martial arts, could it be that he wanted to practice ancient martial arts?

This is not worth the candle, right?
It takes several years or even more than ten years for an ancient martial art to be cultivated and then introduced.

Just like the ancient characters, it seems cumbersome and complicated, and it is far less easy to write than the simplified characters of later generations.

It is precisely because it is difficult to practice that ancient martial arts have gradually withdrawn from the trend of history.

Martial artists of later generations are more inclined to practice martial arts that can be practiced in a few months, and then spend most of their time improving their cultivation and obtaining cultivation resources.

Of course, curiosity is nothing but curiosity, Kong Yangming is just an ordinary person, he has lived most of his life, and he also deeply understands that knowing too much is not a good thing.

Facing Kong Yangming's gaze, Su Yu's face was a little embarrassed.

After Kong Yangming said that, he must also know that the ancient text he had translated was actually a book of ancient martial arts.

Several hours passed, and through Kong Yangming's in-depth teaching, Su Yu also had a certain understanding of ancient characters.

In a few hours, Su Yu also learned more than 100 ancient characters.

This made him very encouraged, and he felt that he could learn all the ancient characters within a month.

Seeing Su Yu's excited expression, Kong Yangming immediately poured cold water on him.

"The more than 100 ancient characters that the old man taught you today are just the most basic ancient characters, just like the later generations' one, two, three, four, sun, moon, heaven and earth. The later ancient characters will become more and more difficult. You have to do well." Prepare."

Su Yu: "."

"Okay, that's all for today's lecture."

Kong Yangming glanced out the window, and before he knew it, the sun was already setting.

"Okay, that kid will come back tomorrow." Su Yu clasped his fists and bowed, performing the disciple salute.

At this moment, the gate in the yard opened, and Kong Jingming walked in holding a box of exquisite pastries.

"Grandpa, Sister Ya is here again and brought us sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Kong Jingming walked into the room and saw Su Yu was there, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Brother Su, you are here too, try it quickly, this is the pastry from Xueguifang, it is very expensive."
