This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 71 Poor literature and rich martial arts

Chapter 71 Poor literature and rich martial arts
The next day.

After Li Zhengshan went out, he waited outside Zhang's Restaurant.

Luo Zijun arrived shortly afterwards.

"Your sister doesn't suspect anything?"

"No, I just said I was bored at home, so I came out to buy some books."

The two of them walked towards East City while talking.

"The martial arts gyms are all located in remote areas, and there are no signs outside. You definitely won't be able to find them by yourself."

"There are people practicing martial arts there every day. If it's too close to residential areas, it will disturb others."

"Nowadays, martial arts masters in martial arts schools generally don't accept disciples. So if we want to go in and practice martial arts, we can only pay money, and it's paid once a month. If we need to take medicinal baths in the martial arts school and take some supplements, we need to pay extra money..."

Li Zhengshan hasn't been to a martial arts school in these years, and he only asked someone about it yesterday.

"So when we go to become apprentices, as long as the master takes a liking to us, he will accept us as his apprentice. Once a master, always a father. The relationship between master and apprentice is very close, and there is no need to pay money at all. The master will not only teach us the most skilled martial arts, but also take the initiative to spend money for us."

"Now, times have changed, and everyone values profit..."

"If you don't have money, you won't be able to learn anything, and you won't even be able to get in."

Li Zhengshan kept complaining all the way.

Soon, the two arrived in East City, crossed two streets, and turned into a remote alley.

We are almost at the gate of East City.

The two entered the alley and walked forward until they reached the end of the alley, where they discovered a large courtyard with a simple wooden sign hanging outside.

There were a few big words scrawled on the wooden sign: Liu's Martial Arts School.

Li Zhengshan went forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, a shirtless man came to open the door and asked, panting, "Who are you looking for?"

Apparently, this guy was just practicing in the yard.

Li Zhengshan bowed and said, "I am Li Zhengshan, the head of the Yamen Police Department. I have made an appointment with Brother Yang Kaiming of your martial arts school. I am bringing my younger brother to visit you today."

The big man glanced at the two of them, then turned and shouted, "Junior Brother Yang, Captain Li is here to see you!"

After saying that, he left on his own, grabbed a millstone from the yard, and started squatting and lifting weights.

The heavy millstone moved up and down in his hands as if it were a piece of cake.

Li Zhengshan whispered, "This is also a way to temper the body. This person has strong legs and a very stable lower body. Look at his skin and muscles, they are all tempered to be very tough. With your current strength, even if he stands there motionless, you won't be able to knock him down, and your fist will get hurt instead."

At this time, a tall and thin young man came over, smiled and bowed, saying: "Captain Li, my brother told me yesterday, come on, I'll take you in to have a look."

Li Zhengshan quickly bowed his hands to express his gratitude and introduced: "Zijun, this is Brother Yang."

Luo Zijun quickly bowed and saluted: "Brother Yang."

Yang Kaiming glanced at him, smiled and said, "You are Captain Li's younger brother, right? Why are you interested in martial arts?"

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "I am somewhat interested."

Yang Kaiming led the two of them inside, glanced at him again, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm being harsh, but Brother Zijun, your body is not suitable for martial arts training. Besides, martial arts training starts from childhood. Even if you are willing to take this path now, I'm afraid it's too late."

Li Zhengshan said awkwardly: "Brother Yang, we are just here to take a look. To be honest, my Zijun is studying in the academy now, and his sister won't let him come to practice martial arts. Besides, my family can't afford it."

Yang Kaiming was a little surprised: "Studying in the academy? Tsk tsk, no wonder I saw you as a scholar at first glance. Studying is good, and you have a future. You can go out to travel and play every day, unlike us, who are here every day lifting weights. Brother Zijun, we practice martial arts, which not only requires hard work, but also costs a lot of money. Since you are studying, just come and see today, and don't think about anything else."

Luo Zijun didn't say anything and looked at the other people in the yard.

Some people were boxing, some were practicing leg exercises against wooden stakes, some were lifting stones, and some were standing on wooden stakes.

The three of them continued walking forward while talking.

Soon we arrived at the backyard.

The backyard is even bigger and contains a martial arts training ground.

At this time, there were only two people inside, one practicing with a sword and the other practicing with a stick.

"There's nothing to see, that's all."

Yang Kaiming turned around and said with a smile: "There are some weapons there. If you feel like itching to play, Brother Zijun, you can pick them up and play with them, but don't hurt yourself."

He thought that the young man in front of him was just curious about the place where martial arts were practiced and just wanted to satisfy his curiosity and touch the weapons.

Luo Zijun suddenly asked: "Brother Yang, how much silver do I need to sign up for martial arts training here?"

Yang Kaiming smiled and said, "Two hundred taels a month."

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhengshan's face changed: "Two... two hundred taels?"

This is a terrifying number.

You have to know that when he practiced martial arts, he only paid two taels of silver when he entered the door, and his meals were also provided.

Yang Kaiming explained: "When you come here to practice martial arts, the master will give you instruction twice a month, and you can choose your own techniques. You can use any weapons and tools here. You can also watch others practice martial arts, and you can learn any technique. As long as you can master it, it's yours. The master won't care what you do in the future or who you teach it to." Li Zhengshan thought to himself: So that's how it is.

The skills here can actually be passed on, and one can freely observe and practice the skills practiced by others. No wonder they are so expensive.

"As for the medicinal materials used for the medicinal bath and the pills you usually take, you need to pay extra for them. If anything goes wrong during the practice, we will not be responsible."

Yang Kaiming said with a smile.

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Yang, for telling me."

Yang Kaiming led the two to each room and took a look, and said: "These are all separate martial arts training rooms. Some people practice martial arts and don't want to be outside, so they practice here."

Seeing that the visitors were almost finished, Li Zhengshan was afraid of disturbing others’ practice, so he quickly bowed and said, “Thank you very much, Brother Yang, for today. We will take our leave first and will not disturb Brother Yang’s practice.”

Yang Kaiming smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm going to take a day off today."

Li Zhengshan took Luo Zijun away.

Yang Kaiming accompanied them to the door and closed the door only after he saw the two people leave.

"Fuck! This is too expensive!"

After walking away, Li Zhengshan couldn't help but swear.

"I haven't been here for a few years. The market is so outrageous now. If an ordinary person comes to learn martial arts, won't he lose everything?"

"Ah, the old saying that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts is really true."

"When we first practiced martial arts, we already felt that it was very expensive, especially the medicinal materials. I didn't expect that now, it is even more outrageous..."

Li Zhengshan shook his head and sighed.

Luo Zijun said: "It is indeed a bit expensive."

With all his current wealth, he is still unable to register.

Li Zhengshan turned his head and looked at him and said, "Are you giving up now?"

Luo Zijun nodded: "Give up."

Li Zhengshan laughed, patted his shoulder and consoled him: "It's okay, if you really like it, practice the Taizu Changquan that your brother-in-law taught you every day. You should also practice the internal skills diligently. Although you can't advance without the external skills, it can still strengthen your body."

"Okay, go back now. I still have to go to the government office."

After saying that, he strode away, thinking to himself: That guy should have completely given up now.

Luo Zijun stood at the crossroads, feeling the spring breeze and basking in the morning sun. After thinking for a while, he walked towards Tianxian Tower.

I wonder how the newly written "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is doing.

Hope it can be sold soon.

He needs to come here and sign up quickly so that he can start practicing.

Give up?

nonexistent.

What he experienced during this period, especially the humiliation by the female flower thief in Hanshan Temple, made him more determined to practice martial arts, and he would never waver!
Go make money!
Ok?
Nothing should happen to Xu Xian during his stay in the academy these days, right?
It shouldn't be that fast.

After two days, I went to see him at the academy and started taking him to visit brothels.

The third floor of Tianxian Building.

A certain room.

The morning sunlight shines in through the cracks in the window.

The room was covered with curtains.

The girl was wearing a thin white dress, wrapped in a quilt, and sleeping soundly on the bed.

She leaned outward, her long black hair cascading down the side of the bed.

Bi'er was also lying on the small bed next to her, sleeping soundly.

at the same time.

Bookstores in the outer cities began to welcome a batch of new books.

Simultaneously.

These books were also delivered to the libraries of various academies as soon as possible.
