Xianao

Chapter 3
The next morning, before dawn, Yu Zecheng got up very early, woke up his ten-year-old brother, took him to climb on the roof of his house, faced the direction of the rising sun and began to inhale and meditate , to practice his Tiger Roaring Art.

This kind of kung fu has to get up early every day, wait for the first ray of sunshine to come, absorb pure yang energy, and practice.

Tiger Roaring Art is said to be taught by the celestial spirit of the leader of the Tiger Clan. The disciples of the Tiger Clan can practice it at the age of six. It is easy to learn and easy to practice. As long as you put in a little hard work, absorb the energy of the rising sun every day, and persevere. For ordinary people, it is not that stupid If you are as stupid as an idiot, or have no talent at all, then you can reach the Dacheng state before the age of 16.

In fact, some cultivation geniuses will achieve great success in three years, and ordinary disciples can achieve great success in six years. Moreover, this exercise can be used as a reminder. When you reach the Dacheng state, you can practice the internal strength of the other five Tiger Gang.

Yu Zecheng has been practicing for eight years now, but he still can't succeed in cultivation. His younger brother Yu Zegong has only been practicing for four years, and he has already caught up with him. If you want to get ahead in the Tiger Gang, force is the first. But he was unable to cultivate to the Dacheng realm for a long time.If he was surpassed by his younger brother, then what face would he have as an older brother, and Yu Zexin couldn't help but feel anxious.

Even if the Tiger Roaring Art reaches the level of Dacheng, the amount of true energy cultivated will not be as much as that.Compared with the internal strength handed down by other aristocratic families, it is infinitely inferior in terms of true energy and fighting.It can only play the role of strengthening the body and prolonging life.

The only advantage is that this internal energy is stable and abnormal, and it will never go crazy. Moreover, if it reaches a great level of cultivation, it will be able to practice the internal energy of the other five tiger gangs: Black Tiger Strength, Golden Tiger Skill, White Tiger Qi, Purple Tiger Art, and Blue Tiger Classic. Once you learn it, you will go a long way, because these internal strengths are all evolved on the basis of this Tiger Roaring Art.Now many disciples of the Tiger Gang are not practicing this inner strength, but directly practicing the other five unique skills.

At this time, the morning sun rose in the distance, Yu Zecheng slapped his drowsy younger brother awake, and then circulated his true energy, preparing to absorb the first ray of sunlight.

The sun rose above the horizon in an instant, and the first ray of sunlight hit Yu Zecheng's body. Immediately, his whole body shook, and he circulated his true energy to the limit to absorb the power of the morning sun.

Yu Zecheng inhaled and exhaled, the exhaled air was like a layer of white mist, this is the characteristic of Tiger Roaring Art, with the help of the power of the rising sun, the exhaust gas in the body was washed away.

Yu Zecheng's trip was successfully completed, but there was still no sign of a breakthrough in his true energy, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.But there is no way.

Linhai City is located at the southern end of Tang Country, with the Shiwan Dashan in the east and the Bohai Sea in the west. It is a traffic center, with people coming and going, merchants constantly, and it is naturally incomparably prosperous.

Countless merchants from various countries in Luzhou came by boat from the Bohai Sea, docked at Linhai Wharf, or went to the inland of Gunzhou to do business, or bought local products from the Hundred Thousand Mountains here. Their first stop was Linhai City.

The Shan, Mu, and Stone tribes in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains would send caravans to Linhai City from time to time to buy living materials such as salt, ironware, and tea, and sell special products in the mountains. As a transfer point, Linhai City was naturally extremely prosperous.

The strategy of the Tang royal family, the Chen family, governing Tang is the aristocratic model, relying on other aristocratic families attached to the Chen family to serve them. This result is the final result of countless struggles in the 600 years since the founding of Tang. , promoting civilians, trying to break this hereditary family governance model, but in the end it was nothing.

In a city like Linhai City, there are said to be six great families. Among them, the ruler of Linhai City is the branch of the Chen family, who completely controls the Linhai Wharf, which is unique.

The Tie family is mainly engaged in the manufacture of weapons. They have made weapons and war equipment for the Chen family in the past dynasties. They have controlled many iron ore and coal mines in the south of Tang State.

The ancestors of the Shi family were originally natives of the Shi family in the Shiwan Dashan. They were the horse slaves of the founding emperor of the Tang Kingdom. Now they are one of the aristocratic families in Linhai City, and they are also one of the branches of Chishuimen.Only their caravan can enter the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. This time, Ma Laohei was able to invite masters like Bai Hexi, Young Master Bai, all thanks to his wife Shi Sanmei.

The Li family owns the largest shipyard in the seven countries of Gunzhou, and even merchants from those countries in Luzhou and Yanzhou will come here to order ships. countless.

The Yu family controls the trade channel between the Mu and Tang countries. They also have their own chamber of commerce in the Mu country. If other caravans want to conduct trade between the two countries, they must pay them a transit fee. Relying on this, the Yu family is also considered rich. Party A.

Now Ma Laohei has wiped out the Wild Wolf Gang and unified the underworld forces in Linhai City. Brothels, restaurants, hotels, and boats are all within their sphere of influence.Also eligible to enter this ranks.

These aristocratic families are actually intermarried with each other, just like Ma Laohei's wife is Shi Sanmei from the Shi family, Cui Renxiong's daughter married into the Tie family, and Wang Xuesen is an offshoot of the Chen family.And Yu Zecheng's father is the eldest disciple of the Yu family. Because he fell in love with his mother and the family objected, he was finally kicked out of the house and broke out, not because of family contact.

But none of this mattered about Yu Zecheng, he was just a little cook.After the practice was over, Yu Zecheng started to wander the streets, planning to buy two good books to read.

Although Yu Zecheng gave his mother yesterday's bounty, but his current job makes him not short of money. He can make this soup. Whether the ingredients are up to standard is just a matter of his words. Naturally, someone will respect him. he.

Yu Zecheng checked the copper coins he had accumulated these days, and there were a total of 120 and 150 big coins. By the way, his mother's hairpin seemed to be broken, so he wanted to buy her a new one, and bring a few candies for each of his younger brothers and sisters. People, buy books with the rest of the money. A book costs [-] copper coins, which is enough money.Be sure to buy a few good books and have a good time.

When Yu Zecheng walked to the front door, he happened to pass Xuji Restaurant, thinking of what his mother said yesterday, Yu Zecheng took a special look into the restaurant.It happened that a girl from the Xu family was watching him secretly, and when she saw Yu Zecheng looking at him, the girl blushed immediately and ran back to the store shyly.

Yu Zecheng watched the girl run away, it seemed that she knew who she was, she was indeed white and tender, with three points of beauty, Yu Zecheng couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart.

Walking on the street, Yu Zecheng first bought a new copper hairpin for his mother. It cost 120 copper coins. It was his mother's favorite style. The salesman insisted on [-] copper coins. The boss who spoke at last was speechless, and sold it to Yu Zecheng for one hundred copper coins.

Yu Zecheng likes this kind of bargaining very much. His teacher Zhu Li said that this is actually a kind of war, a kind of confrontation, using words and actions to influence the mind and belief of the enemy, and persuading the enemy to change his position. Be wonderful.

I spent another twenty copper coins to buy some sweets for my younger brothers and sisters.Then I bought some essentials for my home.At this time, Yu Zecheng still had 880 copper coins left. He was thinking about whether to buy himself a candy man to eat and reward himself. After all, he was only 14 years old.At this time, I heard shouts of "Sale, sale, book sale." from a distance.

Book sale?Immediately, Yu Zecheng walked over quickly, the voice of shouting came from a wealthy mansion, seeing this mansion, Yu Zecheng immediately quickened his pace, there must be something cheap inside.

This family, surnamed Li, is a big family in Linhai City. The head of the family was originally the Shangshu of the Tang Kingdom. **** all attended the funeral in person.

Once the old man died, his son, Li Daguan, who inherited his family business, was a well-known prodigal son in the city, a frequent visitor to Bicui Building, prostituted and gambled.

Sure enough, the entrance of Li's house was filled with all kinds of utensils, ranging from seats to porcelain. This black sheep began to sell what he thought was trash from the sellers.

Seeing the piles of books placed casually, Yu Zecheng's eyes immediately widened. This prodigal son really doesn't feel bad about selling his father's land.

Yu Zecheng hurried over, joined the ranks of shoppers, and began to look for his favorite books in the pile of books.Those Analects of Confucius, Mozi, poems, and Yu Zecheng have been swept away. His favorite is all kinds of travel notes. In these books, he can appreciate the scenery and folk customs of various places.

Yu Zecheng chose left and right, and finally selected three books. One is "Xianqin Textual Research", which records the past of the legendary Xianqin Great Empire in modern times.One is "Miaoxiang Jishi", which records the customs and habits of the distant Miaoxiang area.A "Compendium of Materia Medica" records various rare spiritual herbs and useful medicinal materials.

Yu Zecheng still wanted to continue to pick and choose. At this time, he found that there were still a few books under the buttocks of Li Daguan, the prodigal son of Li Daguan. These books were not paper or leather, and they were made of unknown materials. .

Looking at the past again, the brilliance completely disappeared. Yu Zecheng walked over unknowingly, handed over the three books he had chosen, and asked:
"How do you sell these three books?"

Li Daguan cast a glance and said:

"A set of twenty copper coins."

A normal book is either engraved and printed with copperplate, or hired to copy by hand.Engraving copperplate printing is to hand down your own books. Engraving or renting copperplates requires professional workers to typeset and print, using fine paper. The cost of books is extremely high, and a book will cost about [-] copper coins.

If you ask someone to copy the book, you will always invite some talented people such as scholars, so that the writing is beautiful and there will be no typos, and the name of the scholar will be signed. If the scholar passes the imperial examination and becomes a celebrity, this book will also Rising tides have appreciation value. Of course, the pen fee and meal fee are not decimals. A book costs at least 150 copper coins.

The books here are only twenty copper coins a book, which is really a big sale, Yu Zecheng nodded and said:

"Okay, I bought it. By the way, brother, what is the book under your ass? Can you read it?"

Mr. Li said:

"As you go, you little brat, is this where you came from? This is a secret book. It has been handed down from our family's ancestors. This is the cultivation method of immortals. If you practice it, you can become immortals and attain the Tao. This is everything. A rare and rare book."

After speaking, he took out the book and handed it to Yu Zecheng. There are three books in total, one is called "Supreme Heavenly Dao and Blood Gang Jue", and the other is called "Invisible Destroying Divine Consciousness Transformation Art" , and the other is titled "Du Tian Slays the Soul and Calcines Theory".

Yu Zecheng looked at these three books, and suddenly his whole body trembled, thinking of countless legends in the world. Could this be the legendary secret book of cultivating immortals?
