Ruins of the past

Qiao Zhi smiled and said helplessly: "The Hundred Refining Ointment is only available from the Demon Suppressing Division or the Celestial Master Sect. This Demon Suppressing Division is already famous as the Hall of Hell, and the Celestial Master Sect is not easy to mess with. I want theirs. You can only buy elixirs, each one costs at least thirty taels, so you only need to use it once."

Chu Qiguang said: "This Hundred Refining Ointment is so easy to use, but the Tianshi Sect can still sell it. I'm afraid it's not their best medicine, right?"

Qiao Zhi: "That's not true. The best ones like Shiquan Qi Buping Pills, Liger and Tiger Bone Replacement Ointment, and Ten Thousand Beasts Muscle Regenerating Ointment are all hard to find. So you must find ways to make more money in the future, and rely on Taoism. It’s okay to just meditate every day. Martial arts training is a big money maker, and all kinds of food and supplements cost money.”

"The descendants of those wealthy families in the county use a few pairs of Bailian ointment every month, which means hundreds of taels of silver are scattered."

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and said, "Thirty taels of plaster..."

When he heard the price, Chu Qiguang was also slightly surprised. Ergou's whole family could not earn more than ten taels of silver a year. Selling her sister would only earn less than two taels of silver at most. To use Ergou's labor force It might be a little more expensive if you sell it, but three or four taels of silver is the most.

Thirty 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 the Bailian ointment used for martial arts training is only enough for one use. However, there are so many such ointments in the Tianshi Sect that they can be sold, and the big families in the county can spend hundreds of taels of silver every month on the martial arts training of their descendants.

With a glimpse of the leopard, Chu Qiguang could imagine how serious the gap between the rich and the poor had become in this Han world.

George said: "So in this world, the poor are rich in literature and rich in martial arts. Disciples from poor families can only take liberal arts exams, while martial arts is something only wealthy families can consider."

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

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

"Fighting and killing is only the ambition of a small number of people in the world. For the remaining 99% of people, farming is the top priority, and martial arts can be integrated into life and work to increase people's physical strength. Techniques that make things like farming more efficient.”

"A farmer who has practiced martial arts is at least 20% 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 span. Compared with fighting, this is how the ancients cherished the world, which is implicit in Great wisdom in martial arts.”

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

Qiao Zhi concluded: "When you practice martial arts, you must remember that you can't just regard it as a killing skill, but also regard it as your ability to eat. Just like walking, sitting and lying down, practice martial arts into your bones. This is the way to master martial arts." Take the shortcut to martial arts and practice martial arts, not martial arts."

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

Qiao Zhi's beard trembled happily: "That's what it means. But it's not just that. The physical body is both powerful and fragile. You need to pay attention to maintaining and protecting the physical body at all times."

"But practicing martial arts is hard work. You have to maintain the mentality of practicing martial arts all the time, which makes it even more difficult. Even if ordinary people know that this is a good thing, it is difficult for them to persist."

"After hearing the Tao, it is difficult to practice diligently and have no self-discipline. This is the tragedy of ordinary people. It's not that they don't want to, but that they really can't do it. But I will supervise your cultivation. You can do it even if you don't want to."

"From today on, I will stay with you all the time and always urge you to practice martial arts. There are rules for walking, sitting and lying down. It is both training and maintaining the body."

So next, Qiao Zhi directly taught Chu Qiguang a complete set of techniques for walking, running, sitting, lying, and even working on the farmland, asking him to maintain the spirit of martial arts training at all times. If the state or movement is slightly wrong, he will slap Chu Qiguang to remind him. This whole set of things added together is the complete martial arts.

…

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

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

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

Chu Qiguang smiled and said: "Master Qiao's magical skills are so great that it is easy to destroy a small Wang family. However, if this happens, I am afraid that the yamen and Taoist temples in the county will send people to investigate. It will cause too much trouble. beautiful."

Upon hearing that the Taoist temple would send someone over, Qiao Zhi shrank inside.

The state religion of the Han Dynasty was the Celestial Master Sect. The Celestial Master Sect’s Taoist temples were spread throughout the Central Plains, almost in every county. In addition to being responsible for various folk weddings, funerals, sermons, etc., they were also responsible for slaying demons. In addition to demons, ordinary monsters are the ones you don’t want to mess with.

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

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

Chu Qiguang said: "It's nothing more than establishing prestige and winning over, giving a sweet date with a stick. I never thought about overthrowing the Wang family, and there is no need. We can completely use the power of the Wang family to help us."

Qiao Zhi sighed and said, "I know, cats are trained like this by beating them first and then feeding them meat."

Seeing Chu Qiguang's strange look, Qiao Zhi covered it up: "I mean, I train cats like this, but I don't mean that I have been trained like this!"

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

"Also, cats cannot be asked to do housework, let alone farming. Cats must not be asked to do other tasks such as building houses, cutting wood, dyeing cloth, rubbing their backs, digging out manure, composting... these are all things you can do. You can Call the dogs, foxes, etc., remember, remember.”

Chu Qiguang said amusedly: "How could I let a cat do this?" He thought to himself: 'So cats can do so many things? ’

Qiao Zhi looked at him and sneered: "You must remember these anyway, so I didn't teach you in vain."

Of course Chu Qiguang answered the question and took Qiao Zhi back home that night.
