Chapter Twelve, Martial Arts
After traveling for more than an hour, the two finally arrived outside the city gate before You hour.
Li Gongfu said to Xu Ze who was in the trailer: "Brother Xu, when you and I return to the Yamen later, just tell the truth about what happened."
Xu Ze said, "I know, Mr. Guancha, that I was chased by demons today. Fortunately, Mr. Guancha came to help, otherwise I would have died today."
Li Gongfu turned to look at Xu Ze: "No, I mean you tell the truth."
"What I just said is the facts." Xu Ze said with a smile on his face.
"You don't have to be like this. I, Mr. Li, do things openly and aboveboard and will not covet your credit."
Xu Zedao: "Lord Official Officer, these credits are meaningless to me. They only cost a few coins at most, but for you it is possible to get an official promotion. Which one do you think is more cost-effective?"
Li Gongfu looked at Xu Ze in surprise and said, "Then what do you want?"
"I told Mr. Guancha before that my ideal is to be a landlord."
"The landowner must be rich, so I want to try to do business. Then I will have to rely on adults to do business."
"You're overthinking, I don't have a back door to leave here." Li Gongfu frowned and said.
"No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood. I didn't go through the back door. It's just that the big ghosts are easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are more difficult to deal with."
"When doing business, we will always encounter some small troubles, such as rogues, and...and so on. Adults can just help you when the time comes."
"That's all you ask for?"
"Yes, it's that simple. Of course, as long as you are willing to help, I will also express my gratitude."
"There is no need to thank you very much. As a police officer, it is my duty to ensure the stable life of the people under my control. If anyone gives you trouble, you can come to me."
When Xu Ze heard this, he immediately understood that the other party had agreed.
Then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."
"By the way, I still need to trouble you about the Fox Fairy's application for village spirit."
"This is according to procedure. As long as there is no problem with the process, others will not interfere casually."
Li Gongfu said again: "Let's go into the city."
"yes."
Xu Ze responded, then Li Gongfu walked in front, and Xu Ze dragged the trailer behind.
As soon as they reached the city gate, the city guards stopped the two of them.
After all, dragging an unknown demon towards the city was so conspicuous that it was normal for the guards to come forward and question him.
When the guards came forward, Li Gongfu took out his badge and said: "Brothers, we are my own people. This is a demon who practices evil methods. Now I have taken it down."
The other party checked the token and found that there was no problem, then waved his hand: "Since you are one of our own, let's go in."
"Thank you so much, brothers. You guys have worked so hard. We'll have some time to have a drink together in a few days."
"Okay, brother, walk slowly."
After passing the city gate, Li Gongfu led Xu Ze around and around, and finally entered the Yamen.
First, he reported to the chief arrester of the yamen, then he interrogated the specific situation, and then the chief bookkeeper on the side wrote it down.
When Xu Ze was being cross-examined, he just said "yes", and Li Gongfu explained the rest.
About half an hour later, Xu Ze came out of the Yamen.
Li Gongfu had also reported the matter regarding the village spirit to him, so there was nothing left for him to do.
It was too late to go back at this time, so Xu Ze could only wander around the streets to see if he could find a cheap inn to stay for one night.
Fortunately, I found seven big coins at the old witch's residence in the morning, otherwise I would have been hungry and slept under the bridge.
After walking around the city, Xu Ze found a cheaper inn on the west edge of the city, which only cost one cent a night.
After that, Xu Ze spent three small coins to buy six steamed buns for dinner tonight.
When night fell and the whole city was under curfew, Xu Ze stayed in the inn.
Just in the afternoon, the mysterious old man gave me two secret books. Take them out and read them carefully.
The text used in this world is block letters, and Xu Ze doesn't seem to have any trouble doing it.
The two books are two sets of boxing techniques, one is "Shaobei Yiguquan" which is mainly about physical training, and the other is "Ben Lei Fist" which is mainly about attack.
After reading two books on boxing, Xu Ze also had a general understanding of the martial arts in this world.
Martial arts is divided into four major realms, namely the skin training realm, the bone forging realm, the tendon-changing realm, and the true energy realm.
The three realms of skin training, bone training, and tendon conditioning belong to body training. Only by training the physical body to a certain level can the true energy be cultivated.
Xu Ze could feel a warm current in his Dantian, but he didn't know if it was true energy.
Although the Zhenqi Realm part of "Reborn Yiguquan" has the method of operating Zhenqi, no one teaches it, and Xu Ze doesn't dare to try it casually. He might as well ask Hu Jiaojiao for advice after returning to the village.
Putting away the two secret books, Xu Ze saw that it was getting late, so he blew out the oil lamp and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.
Although he is no longer able to enter the state of enlightenment, the world of the human body shown during his enlightenment has been imprinted in his mind.
As Xu Ze enters the meditative state, the five elements of essence in the body reappear, and the soul is at the top, nourishing each other.
At the same time, after Xu Ze entered meditation, traces of heaven and earth energy came from all directions and entered his body.
Then it is refined by his five elements essence, nourishes the soul, and finally returns to Dantian.
The night passed before he knew it. Although he didn't sleep all night, Xu Ze was still refreshed.
I stretched myself, then went to fetch water and wash myself.
Of course, you can also ask the waiter to fetch water, but you will need to pay extra.
After washing up, Xu Ze picked up the leftover steamed buns from last night to rest on his stomach. Then he left the inn and walked around the county town.
The next step is to find ways to make money.
There are a few small products in his mind that he can try to make, but the prerequisite is to find a good market first.
After walking around the county town for an hour under the bright sun at noon, Xu Ze had a plan in mind.
Then I went to the vegetable market and bought a pound of dried incense, a stone mortar for pounding medicine, and a pound of vegetable oil.
