Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 87: Medicinal Sand, Listening to the Wind Knife
Chu Tianshu stayed in this restaurant.

He set aside an hour every morning to diagnose and treat some of the restaurant's guests who were obviously ill.

In just five days, the reputation of this restaurant as a good doctor spread.

He spent the rest of the morning looking for Dao Baishu, who did not appear on stage, to inquire about various news in this world.

Give the old man money and ask him to exclude the jokes and tell you the more reliable information he knows.

Chu Tianshu listened and asked questions, and he got a general idea of ​​the differences between this world and the history of his hometown, as well as the current situation.

The first is the difference from my hometown.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there really was a man named Li Yuanba. He had skin of iron and steel, ribs of steel and tendons of steel, and even crossbow arrows could not penetrate his skin.

He swung the eight hundred jin hammer as fast as flying, and his arms had the strength of four elephants.

This resulted in the early stages of the Li family's uprising being smoother than in the history of their hometown.

It was not until Li Yuanba threw his hammer and cursed the sky on the cliff, and was hit by thunder on the hammer head, and the hammer fell on his head, that the situation of the Tang army became a little difficult.

Before that, Li Shimin was so frivolous that he dared to go to the vicinity of other people's military camps to inquire about information with just a few people.

After that, Li Shimin had to demonstrate his talent and responsibility as a commander.

Even so, the chaotic times between the Sui and Tang dynasties lasted two years shorter than in my hometown.

But after that, there was no one as outrageous as Li Yuanba.

Some things that happened during the Anshi Rebellion were similar.

Today, in the Tang Dynasty, after the famous Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, there were two more emperors, Suzong and Daizong.

The current emperor is Daizong's eldest son.

As the eldest son, he secured the position of crown prince and ascended the throne smoothly, which was quite rare in the Tang Dynasty.

After coming to power, he followed the advice of his ministers and implemented the Two Tax System, attempting to replace the "tax based on population" with "tax based on capital" among the people. This initially caused a lot of turmoil in the court, but it was eventually implemented.

However, the tradition of succession from father to son has formed among the military governors of various vassal states. Many military governors have disregarded the imperial orders and do not obey the court's orders in many aspects such as tax laws.

The emperor's order was too harsh, and some military governors found an excuse to launch an uprising.

Fortunately, this emperor was quite capable. He had famous ministers and generals such as Wei Gao under his command, as well as the Tang Dynasty's internal guards, which were like a dragnet spread all over the place to provide intelligence and successfully suppress the rebellion.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty now has a strong momentum of revival.

However, after repeatedly making military achievements, the Tang Dynasty's Internal Guard was targeted by civil officials in the court and was severely criticized.

Because the "Inner Guards" were established during the Wu Zetian era, they were almost the opposite of the cruel officials at that time. They were originally responsible for supervising all officials and were deeply hated by all officials.

After that, the Internal Guards experienced several ups and downs. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, they were abolished for a time, but were reactivated due to the Anshi Rebellion. They merged with the Bad People and recruited martial artists from the underworld to become stronger.

It is said that after the defeat in battle, the Nanzhao King Yi Mouxun not only fell out with Tubo and showed goodwill to the Tang Dynasty, but also insisted on moving the capital and moving the royal city here.

He was not only afraid of the Tang army, but also wanted to guard against the internal guards.

The current governor of Jiannan West Sichuan in the Tang Dynasty, General Wei Gaowei, is said to be from a family of scholars. Although he is in charge of Sichuan and Shu, he is a very elegant and easy-going person.

Yi Mouxun corresponded with this man and publicly stated many times that if the person guarding Sichuan and Shu at that time was a famous minister like General Wei who could distinguish right from wrong, Nanzhao would never have had the intention of rebellion.

The Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao were as close as father and son, but they were corrupted by those treacherous ministers back then.

Since that's what he said, then he moved the capital not because of Wei Gao, but because of something else.

After listening to it, Chu Tianshu felt that Nanzhao was indeed quite stable now. If he wanted to fill the luck column, he had to pay more attention and find opportunities for himself.

Of course, there is no rush now.

These days, he does these things in the morning and mainly practices in the afternoon.

Shaolin Heart Fire Fist, this boxing technique is so advanced that it is extremely strong and fierce, yet it can be maneuvered in a small space.

In order to practice this set of boxing, Chu Tianshu placed a large bathtub in his room.

But the tub was filled not with water, but with sand.

There is no desert area in Nanzhao, but there are sand mines.

When building city walls or some prominent families building mansions, they would use a mixture of glutinous rice paste, slaked lime and sand to fill the gaps.

Some people who make jade and bronze mirrors use sand in the multi-layer polishing process.

Chu Tianshu bought half a bucket of sand and also bought some medicinal herbs, crushed them and mixed them in.

According to the records in the boxing manual "Chuang Shaolin", if you are a beginner, firstly, you don't need so much sand, and secondly, you have to put the medicinal sand in an iron pan and fry it until it is slightly hot.

Then they hung him up in a sack, poured water over him from behind his neck, and scrubbed his whole body.

Chu Tianshu used large quantities of sand and medicinal herbs, and did not fry them.

Every day when he entered the room, he would take off all his clothes and stand in the bathtub.

"call!!"

Chu Tianshu let out a long breath, opened his arms, turned them over, and pressed his palms between his chest and abdomen.

The sand suddenly jumped slightly, and his whole body began to sink, soon reaching his waist.

When his hands, chest and abdomen touched the sand, his sinking speed suddenly accelerated, as if he fell into a quagmire, and he fell straight down with a thud.

Until the sand was level with his shoulders.

Chu Tianshu was using his immortal power to shake away the sand to facilitate his sinking, but the amplitude was extremely small and not very obvious from the outside.

Now, except for his head, his whole body was sunk in the sand, and the effect of his exertion became clearer.

The tiny gravel was jumping all the time.

Chu Tianshu's breathing was so light that even sand would not be inhaled by him.

But each of his inhalations was long, thin, and silent, lasting for more than three minutes at a time. He would hold his breath for a full quarter of an hour before exhaling.

His body seemed motionless, but in fact, in the sand, his muscles were expanding and contracting at every moment. The strength of his internal organs and the sound of his heartbeat matched the rise and fall of his muscles.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The sound of sand came one after another.

It is clearly sand, but it is like the tide, rising higher for a while and then falling again.

Chu Tianshu's force caused all the sand to move.

They generate heat in the process of rubbing against each other, but because they are all pressed together and restrained by a large thick wooden barrel on the outside, the heat cannot dissipate.

The temperature of the sand in the bucket gradually increased, exceeding body temperature.

This is why Chu Tianshu doesn't use an iron pan to fry sand.

His Kung Fu has been practiced to this level, so if he practices the boxing manual of "Chuang Shaolin", he will naturally be able to enter the realm of martial arts directly and start from the advanced level.

Fourteen hearts, fourteen furnaces.

This set of boxing techniques aims to train the body to have the strength of fourteen furnaces, although these only refer to the furnaces in the blacksmith shops of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be compared with the steel furnaces of later generations.

But you also have to be able to "burn the sand with your body" to be on the right track and begin to grasp the essence.

The sand is getting hotter.

The air surged through the cracks in the sand below, and expanded upward due to the heat, even causing two or three bubbles to appear on the surface of the sand.

This state is too hot.

Other places are okay, but the lower part of the body is still a little weak and cannot withstand such a temperature continuously.

Chu Tianshu slowed down the frequency of his physical strength, and after a while, he continued to exercise his strength.

He practiced until evening when a guy came to the door.

Through the paper on the door, the waiter could feel the warmth coming from the guest room, which was completely different from the temperature outside.

But the waiter had become somewhat familiar with the matter over the past few days. He lifted the towel from his shoulder, wiped his forehead, and said, "Sir, Brother Cheng is back."

A response came from inside the door.

It was Chu Tianshu who asked them to notify him every day when Blind Cheng came back.

A moment later, Chu Tianshu came out with a rosy complexion and wearing a green cloth embroidered robe.

His hairstyle also changed. He tied his hair into a bun in the middle of his head, following the people here.

However, he was not very skilled at it, and there were always some hair hanging down from his temples and even the hairline at the back of his neck.

When he walked into the lobby, he saw Blind Cheng drinking there again.

"As usual, two steamed fish, and the rest is up to you."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "I'll eat with Brother Cheng."

In the past few days, he has also been paying attention to the "Blood Refined Military Strategy". The first thing he thought of was the headless swordsman.

Now that the swordsman is dead, perhaps I can spend money to buy the martial arts he used during his lifetime from his family.

But after Chu Tianshu inquired, he found out that the swordsman was once a guest of a high-ranking official, and the blood refining technique was obtained from the high-ranking official. It must not be passed on to outsiders, and it is even more impossible for any booklet to be left behind.

Even the swordsman's son only knew how to practice the "Aoli Method", a kind of boxing method similar to opening up the mind and practicing strength, and he did not know how to practice blood-refined weapons.

Well, if Chu Tianshu wants to get the Blood Refining Art of War, his other goal is to become blind.

It’s a pity that his eyesight is completely damaged.

Even with Chu Tianshu's medical skills, he couldn't treat him.

I can only think of other ways, such as how to buy it or how to change it.

"Hey! Why did you only drink half a bottle today?"

Chu Tianshu sat down opposite him, poured himself a glass, and drank two sips skillfully before stopping.

This is the perfect amount, you can taste the sweetness and slight spiciness. Any more and bitterness will rise to the root of your tongue.

Cheng Xiazi really didn't perform well today and he hadn't even finished the first bottle of wine.

He faced Chu Tianshu, as if he could see Chu Tianshu.

"You invite me to dinner every day, and I'm getting more and more worried. I'm afraid you'll put some knockout drugs in the wine one day and sell me out."

Cheng Xiazi said nonchalantly, "So now I have to savor my drink carefully to see if there's any drug taste."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "You should have figured it out these past few days. With my medical skills, it's not difficult to make money. Why would I sell out such an interesting friend? Are you really that valuable?"

Blind Cheng snorted softly: "Maybe I'm really worth a lot."

Chu Tianshu was surprised: "Oh? Did you suddenly find out today that some wealthy relative sent someone to ask you to inherit the estate?"

"You're saying weird things again."

Blind Cheng shook his head, suddenly grabbed his knife and swung it forward.

Chu Tianshu raised his eyebrows, but did not move his body, watching the knife lying less than five inches in front of him.

bass!
Blind Cheng gave a push with his thumb, and a little bit of the blade appeared from the sheath.

"Aren't you just curious about the sword spirit? Then let me show you."

"The name of this sword is Tingfeng."

As soon as he finished speaking, he loosened his hand.
