The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 22 Zhouzhuang Identity (Please collect!)
Although Feng Ji didn't understand the price of stone materials, he had some understanding of the prices at this time after traveling for so long.

Grain is the most precious food these days, how could such a thing as stone be worth five hundred coins?

But Zhou Zhuang said with a light smile: "The stone is nothing, but the labor is a bit more expensive."

A cold look flashed in Feng Ji's eyes, knowing that this fellow was cheating money, he didn't say anything, but said indifferently: "In that case, follow your arrangement, Master Zhou."

"Hehe, that's good, come on, apprentices, put the stakes."

But I saw a few strong men coming in from outside the Feng family's mansion, carrying big stone blocks on their backs.

These people have full and strong muscles, and they look like martial arts practitioners.

Feng Ji looked at Zhouzhuang and said, "Are they all apprentices of Master Zhou?"

"That's right, Young Master Feng, I forgot to tell you. I also opened an altar and set up a martial arts gym in Qingyuan County. They are all your senior brothers."

Feng Ji nodded, smiled, and said nothing.

It seems that the so-called expensive labor is actually a lie. These labors are all his apprentices. How can Zhouzhuang need to pay for it?
When placing the stone stakes, Zhou Zhuang introduced: "There are many ways to place the stakes in Plum Blossom Boxing."

"The cloth piles pay attention to the heavenly phenomenon at the top, and the solar terms when they are combined with the ground, such as "Beidou pile" (also known as Qixing pile), "Samsung pile", "Starry pile", "Tiangang pile", "Bagua pile", " "Five Elements", "Nine Palaces" and so on."

"The size of the piles used is also limited, and the higher the better."

"These stone piles are 3 to 5 inches in diameter. When I was first learning, the lower half was buried in the ground, and the upper half was 3 feet and 3 inches above the ground. The distance between the piles was 3 feet front and back, and 1 foot and 5 inches left and right. As the kung fu continues to improve, the piles will continue to be heightened, some up to 5 feet."

"In the future when Kung Fu skills are introduced, the stone piles don't need to be buried in the ground, and you need to master the lightness of plum blossom boxing."

"It can be said that my plum blossom boxing is flexible and explosive."

Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

On his attribute panel, his physique and strength have grown greatly.

Agility and Spirit attributes have been dropped quite a bit.

It sounds like if this Plum Blossom Fist is practiced for the first time, it should be able to greatly increase the agility attribute.

"Master Zhou, I heard from Master Zhao that many schools of boxing need to use external medicine to strengthen Qi and blood. I wonder if we should use plum blossom boxing?"

Zhou Zhuang laughed: "Hahaha, Young Master Feng, all the boxing techniques in the world today need to take medicine to strengthen the Qi and blood, so that the Qi and blood can be transformed into strength, and develop a whole body's strength. However, each school and each school have different boxing techniques. , the way of transporting qi and blood is different, so the prescriptions are naturally different."

"This prescription can be said to be the core of every sect. Don't worry, Young Master Feng, I will prepare your medicine myself every day and deliver it to your door."

"Just one thing that needs to be explained, these medicines are not cheap, Young Master Feng must be mentally prepared."

Feng Ji glanced at this Zhouzhuang, smiled and said: "My family has a pharmacy, Master Zhou can go to my pharmacy to prepare medicines."

Zhou Zhuang shook his head with a smile: "No, every medicine on the pharmacy is confidential, Zhou cannot be dispensed in a pharmacy, please forgive me, Master Feng."

Feng Ji thought for a while, and said, "In this way, master Zhou's prescription can keep the core ingredients, and the rest can be taken from my family's prescription?"

Zhou Zhuang was a little unwilling, and said: "The core herbs are the most expensive."

After all, it was nothing more than that this person wanted money.

Feng Ji smiled and said, "Price is not a problem."

Only then did Zhou Zhuang smile: "Since that's the case, then follow Master Feng's method."

After all the stone piles had been buried, Zhouzhuang began to teach Feng Ji plum blossom boxing.

Plum blossom boxing is practiced on stone piles, emphasizing the unity of the body and the lightness of the steps.

On the plum blossom pile, Zhou Zhuang carefully explained the steps of boxing to Feng Ji step by step.

With the agile pace of the plum blossom pile, combined with boxing techniques, he punched out a set of elegant and swift plum blossom boxing.

Feng Ji just read it once, and the attribute panel has automatically entered this boxing method.

Although he has not yet started, Feng Ji only needs to add some points to get started easily.

Zhou Zhuang taught boxing on the first day, so he showed his great ability and showed his strength.

The purpose is to convince Feng Ji of his boxing technique. After all, there is Zhao Jian as a comparison, so he can't show weakness.

As for the formal teaching of boxing in the future, he will definitely not hand over all of them to Feng Ji.

Like Zhao Jian, Zhouzhuang also needs to save some effort to suppress the bottom of the box.

It's a pity that they don't know that Feng Ji's attribute panel is powerful, all kung fu can be mastered at one time, and adding a little will make it perfect.

They were teaching for the first time, in order to show the power of their own boxing, they spared no effort and demonstrated all the skills.

Feng Ji just read it once, and it has already come into mind, and then he just needs to add some points.

In the past, Feng Ji couldn't learn it by reading it once, but since the golden bell cover was completed and his mental attributes broke through to 1.2, his memory has greatly improved.

Changes in these complicated moves are clear at a glance and easy to learn.

All morning, Zhouzhuang was demonstrating various styles of plum blossom boxing, with different postures.

At noon, he stopped and said with a smile: "Young Master Feng, kung fu cannot be practiced overnight. I just demonstrated seven or eight kinds of Plum Blossom Stand footwork boxing techniques. You can start practicing from the simplest Beidou Stand."

Feng Ji nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Zhou."

Zhou Zhuang smiled and said: "My plum blossom boxing, in addition to boxing, also has weapons and other tricks to cooperate with, but those all require you to practice plum blossom boxing. You can't eat too much, so let's go here first."

Feng Ji nodded and asked, "The medicine for the medicinal bath..."

"Haha, I almost forgot about it. I have already grabbed ten copies of the medicine for this medicinal bath in advance for Young Master Feng."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and naturally his apprentice came in with a large bag of Chinese medicine.

Feng Ji glanced at these traditional Chinese medicine bags, clasped his fists and smiled, "Thank you, Master Zhou."

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite, Young Master Feng. Although these herbs are valuable and hard to find, they still have to be paid by the Feng family, right?"

Zhou Zhuang said with a smile.

Feng Ji also couldn't help smiling, and said: "It's natural, I don't know how much these ten medicinal materials cost?"

"A total of 20 taels."

Feng Ji's expression changed slightly, his smile disappeared, and he looked at Zhouzhuang expressionlessly.

20 taels is already the income of an ordinary family for a year.

This Zhouzhuang really dares to speak.

Zhou Zhuang didn't seem to see Feng Ji's face, and said with a smile: "Poor culture and rich martial arts, that's what martial arts is all about. It's a waste of money, Young Master Feng, just get used to it."

Feng Ji took a deep look at Zhou Zhuang, nodded and said, "Master Zhou is right."

"The medicinal materials are left behind, I will go back first."

Zhou Zhuang left the yard with a smile.

After leaving Feng's house, the disciples gathered around the door one after another.

The big apprentice Wan Jianfei couldn't help asking: "Master, I think that Young Master Feng seems to be a bit stingy. He seems to be a little dissatisfied at 20 taels. Isn't it good to offend the Feng family like this?"

Zhou Zhuang glanced at him lightly, and said, "I have my own plan."

Several people left Feng's house and returned to the boxing gym.

As soon as he came back, Zhouzhuang dismissed his disciples and went into the backyard by himself.

But in the side room, there was constant laughter, the bandits headed by Yue Migong were eating meat.

"Old Zhou is back!"

"Brother Zhou is back!"

When everyone saw Zhouzhuang, they got up to say hello.

Yue Migong looked at Zhou Zhuang with a smile, and asked, "Old Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Zhuang said with a smile: "So Feng Ji is still looking for a famous teacher to learn boxing. I went in with all my disciples today, and I have already figured out the terrain of Feng's house. I just wait for the leader to give an order."

"Haha, don't worry, the leader has sent a new message." Yue Migong laughed.

Zhou Zhuang became curious and asked, "What did the leader say?"

"The leader got the news that the Feng family and the Zhang family will get married in two days. The leader thought of a good way to take down Qingyuan County without bloodshed!"

"Oh? The Feng family is married to the Zhang family? Is there such a thing?"

"What is the arrangement of the leader?" Zhou Zhuang asked in surprise.

Yue Migong laughed, and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, the leader has ordered people to rob rich households outside the city, causing some commotion and attracting officers and soldiers from the city. When they get married, the gentry gather in the city, and they-"

He made a gesture of wiping his neck, and the scar on his face became more ferocious with his cruel smile.
