casket of old days

Chapter 16

Qiao Zhi smiled, and said helplessly: "Only the Zhenmagician or the Tianshijiao can have Bailian Gao. This Zhenmagician is already famous for the Palace of the King of Hades, and the Tianshijiao is not easy to mess with. If you want them The only way to buy pills is to buy one, at least 30 taels, so you can only use it once."

Chu Qiguang said: "This Bailian ointment is so easy to use, but Tianshijiao can still sell it. I'm afraid it's not their best medicine?"

Qiao Zhi: "That's right. The best ones are Shiquan Buqi Pills, Lion and Tiger Bone Paste, and Ten Thousand Beasts' Paste. These are all hard to come by. So you must find a way to earn more money in the future. It doesn’t matter if you meditate every day, martial arts is a big money-sucker, and all kinds of food and medicine have to spend money.”

"The descendants of those big families in that county use a few sets of Bailian ointment every month, that is, hundreds of taels of silver are thrown out."

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and said, "30 taels for a plaster..."

When he heard the price, Chu Qiguang was also slightly taken aback. Ergou's family could not earn ten taels of silver for the next year, and if she sold her sister, it would be less than two taels of silver at most. It can be a little more expensive if you sell it, but three or four taels of silver is the most.

30 taels of silver is already a huge sum of money in the eyes of the common people in Wangjiazhuang. You have to sell 10 Ergou or 15 Ergou sisters to earn it.

But it is only enough for one time to replace it with Bailian ointment for martial arts.But there are so many such ointments in the Tianshijiao that they can be sold, and the big families in the county can spend hundreds of taels of silver every month on the training of their offspring.

With a glimpse of the leopard, Chu Qiguang can imagine how serious the gap between the rich and the poor has become in this big man world.

George said: "So this world has always been poor and rich in martial arts. Disciples from poor families can only take liberal arts, and martial arts is something that only wealthy families can consider."

Then Qiao Zhi urged Chu Qiguang to continue practicing martial arts, and stopped after about an hour. Qiao Zhi stretched his waist and continued: "Next, I will teach you the most important lesson in martial arts."

"You remember, martial arts is not only about killing and decisively, but also something that can be integrated into life, increase life expectancy, and improve work efficiency."

"Fighting and killing are only the aspirations of a small number of people in the world. For the remaining ninety-nine percent, farming is the top priority. Martial arts can be integrated into life and work to increase physical strength. Techniques that make things like farming more efficient."

"A farmer who has practiced martial arts is at least [-]% more efficient at work than a person who does not practice martial arts. He is less likely to get sick and has a longer life expectancy. Compared with fighting and killing, this is the ancient people's heart for the world, implied in Great wisdom in martial arts."

"It's a pity that the martial arts classics are now controlled by those gentry, eunuchs, royal family and nobles, and it is impossible for everyone in the world to practice martial arts."

Qiao Zhi concluded: "When you practice martial arts, you must remember that you should not only regard it as a killing skill, but also as your ability to eat, just like walking, sitting and lying down. Practice martial arts into your bones. The shortcut to improving martial arts is to practice martial arts, not martial arts."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "If you can integrate martial arts training into walking, sitting, lying down, eating and drinking, you will naturally practice martial arts all the time."

Qiao Zhi's beard shook with joy: "That's what it means. But it's not just that. The physical body is both strong and fragile, and it needs to be maintained and protected at all times."

"However, practicing martial arts is hard work, and it is even more difficult to maintain the mentality of practicing martial arts all the time. Even if ordinary people know that this is a good thing, it is difficult for them to persevere."

"After hearing the Tao, it is difficult to practice diligently and cannot discipline yourself. This is the tragedy of ordinary people. It's not that they don't want to, but they really can't do it. But I will supervise your cultivation, and you can do it if you don't want to."

"From today onwards, I will stay with you all the time, urging you to practice martial arts. There are rules for walking, sitting and lying down, which is both training and caring for the body."

So next, Qiao Zhi directly taught Chu Qiguang the whole set of walking, running, sitting, lying, and even working on the farmland, and asked him to keep practicing martial arts all the time. If there is a slight error in the state or movement, he will slap Chu Qiguang to remind him that the whole set of things together is the complete martial arts.

……

Qiao Zhi helped Chu Qiguang adjust his movements, and then came the part of literacy and writing.

But before the end of the day, Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi talked about the affairs of the Wang family and the county, and learned more information from the cat again.

Qiao Zhi said carelessly: "It's just a small Wang family, do you want me to help you destroy them directly?"

Chu Qiguang smiled and said: "Master Qiao's miraculous skills are world-class, and it is easy to destroy a small Wang family. But in this way, I am afraid that the county's yamen and Taoist temples will send people to investigate. Such a big disturbance would not be good. beautiful."

When he heard that the Taoist temple would send someone over, Qiao Zhi twitched his tail.

The state religion of the Han Dynasty was Tianshijiao, and the Taoist temples taught by Tianshijiao spread throughout the Central Plains, almost every county has them. In addition to being responsible for various folk weddings, funerals, lectures, etc., they are also responsible for killing demons. In addition to demons, ordinary monsters are most reluctant to provoke.

Suddenly, Qiao Zhi slapped Chu Qiguang with a flesh pad, and the vibrating force directly corrected the posture of his back.

Chu Qiguang quickly corrected his posture again, and Qiao Zhi asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Chu Qiguang said: "It's nothing more than standing up and wooing, giving a sweet date with a stick. I never thought of defeating the Wang family, and there is no need for it. We can use the power of the Wang family to help us."

Qiao Zhi sighed and said, "I know, it's just to beat a meal first, and then feed the meat, that's how cats are trained."

Seeing Chu Qiguang's strange gaze, Qiao Zhi concealed it and said, "I mean I train cats like this, but I don't mean I have been trained like this!"

Then he suddenly hugged Chu Qiguang and said, "Remember, you must never train the cat like this in the future, let alone use force to beat the cat easily."

"Also, cats should not be allowed to do housework, let alone farm, and other things such as building houses, cutting wood, dyeing cloth, rubbing backs, digging out manure, composting...these absolutely cannot be asked to do by cats, you can Call the dog or the fox to do it, remember it."

Chu Qiguang laughed and said, "Why would I let cats do these things?" He thought to himself, "So cats can do so many things?" '

Qiao Zhi looked at him and sneered: "Anyway, you must remember these, and I will not teach you for nothing."

Of course Chu Qiguang answered with a full mouth, and took Qiao Zhi back home that night.
