Those Years When I Was at the Pawnshop Appraiser

What about cultivation?

What are the boundaries?

It was rare for Xu Hongtao to be interested. A group of handymen couldn't help but want to know more.

Cultivating the Tao is another system of practice. I know more about it than you do.

All I know is that there are very few Taoist practitioners, and it is much more difficult to practice than martial arts practitioners.

Although there was a Daoist Palace in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the teachings were at most only the basics, and the real advanced practice had to be through various Daoist schools.

As for the realm?

Each has its own theory, and it is really difficult for people who are not cultivators to sort out.

Xu Hongtao shook his head.

What he knew was only a half-knowledge, which would be ridiculous, so naturally he didn't want to say more.

Then Uncle Xu, what is your level of martial arts?

A handyman couldn't help being curious and asked.

I?

Xu Hongtao was stunned for a moment, a complex look flashed in his eyes, he was no longer in the mood of the beginning, and he showed a bit of impatience on his face, and said: Go, go, don't ask if you shouldn't ask.

Then, he kept silent.

When Chen Shaojun heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at the other party.

Obviously, the other party seemed to have something unspeakable to hide.

But think about it too.

Xu Hongtao was in the gangs in the early days, roaming the rivers and lakes. He obviously has martial arts, so it shouldn't be too low.

Now living in the Lin family's pawn shop as a dismantler, his status and status can be said to be very different. Naturally, it is because of the accident and other secrets.

...

How can I learn martial arts?

Back at his residence, Chen Shaojun thought about it seriously.

As for learning.

The threshold is indeed too high for him.

Even many wealthy families can hardly support it.

Moreover, as Xu Hongtao said, even if one enters the Taoist palace, one can only learn a little bit of Taoism.

A real master of Taoism will only come from some Taoist sects.

Only martial arts, relatively common people.

Even some farmers know how to handle crops with one or two hands.

Therefore, he can only temporarily focus on martial arts.

But even learning martial arts is not so easy for him.

Now I have found out clearly that the nearby Iron Line Boxing Gym requires three taels of silver for tuition each month, and with the taels of silver I have saved over the years, it can only last for two months at most.

So, can I ask Uncle Xu for advice? Let him teach me martial arts?

In the pawn shop, as long as the routine work of appraising treasures is completed, no one will say anything more.

In addition to the fact that the profession itself is somewhat dangerous, it is relatively relaxed.

If you want to practice martial arts, no one will stop you.

The only thing that restricts him is silver taels.

His predecessor, who entered the Lin family at the age of eight, was lucky enough to work as a book boy next to a Lin family child at the beginning because he was fairly handsome.

But the predecessor cared about his family, and would send money back home every once in a while.

Three years ago, that Lin family boy was not favored and was punished and sent back to the old Lin family house. He also lost his status as a book boy, and his life became more difficult, but he did not cut off the relief from going home.

When he was fifteen years old, his eldest brother got married and asked to come to his door. Because of a one-time reward of ten taels of silver, he voluntarily entered Lin's pawn shop and became a court apprentice.

Then, he began to think for himself and slowly accumulated money.

Now, I can barely save six taels.

Six taels of silver, if you go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts, it is not enough at all.

For two months, it was difficult to learn anything.

Only then did he think about going to Xu Hongtao to see if he could learn Kung Fu from him.

However, judging from his taboo-like appearance when he talked about his own martial arts,

It is not easy to think about it.

Chen Shaojun was a little distressed.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to wait.

The biggest expectation in his heart is actually the psychic treasure.

Appreciating treasures twice and getting rewards twice.

Although there will be risks when appraising treasures, the rewards are indeed great.

In the future, it might not be impossible to reward him with a martial art or a practice of Taoism.

Thinking of the spiritual eye technique rewarded today, he couldn't help but cast it.

First, he looked at Zhao Hu who was sleeping next to him.

The aura is gray, the qi and blood are weak, why is he so weak at such a young age?

Looking at the side, there is a tall and thin young man who is said to have been here for almost a year.

The aura was gray and black, lifeless, worse than Zhao Hu.

In fact, just by looking at his face, one can tell that his condition is not going to get better, his face is pale, and Yintang is black... According to the doctor's tone, he should not be far from death?

Then there was Li Tiechui, his aura was gray and black, lifeless... also not far from death? .

Du Hao's aura was gray, his qi and blood were weak, and he was very weak.

Zhang Ke's aura is gray and his qi and blood are weak.

No one looks like a normal person.

So am I the same?

Chen Shaojun was worried, and looked at the water as a mirror the next day, and he was relieved.

His face was rosy and his eyes were full of divine light, much better than normal people.

Presumably, it should be because of taking the Yangyuan Pill before, which repaired his body severely.

Otherwise it's not much better than others.

However, he also discovered that performing the technique of divine vision is indeed a matter of extreme loss of essence.

Every time it is cast, it needs to consume blood and stimulate the spirit.

After one session, weak for the whole day.

If things go on like this, without nourishment, even a strong man will not be able to bear it, he will lose both qi and blood, and his lifespan will be greatly reduced.

pity.

As a court apprentice, if he wants to become an official court servant, this technique of divine hope is the most important thing.

It is necessary to practice this method of eating to a small degree.

Only Xiaocheng's divine hope technique will be recognized by the pawnshop and promoted to official worship.

Therefore, the court apprentices have no choice, even if their bodies are weak and their eyes are black, they still have to continue...

Chen Shaojun was already standing in the warehouse with emotion.

In the warehouse, the remaining six court apprentices lined up, waiting for the treasures to be appraised today by the sinking ticket desk.

Soon, Shen Lang from Shen Piao Tai came over, and behind him stood a few handymen, each of whom was dragging a few treasures that needed to be appraised on a tray.

Half a year ago, a murder case occurred on East Street, and all seven members of the family died.

After the yamen was sealed off, the family's belongings were sealed up.

During the half-year publicity period, no one claimed it.

So early this morning, the shopkeeper ran to the Yamen to order these things.

There are a lot of things, so if you have spare energy, you can identify a few more.

As Shen Piaotai said, he signaled the court apprentices to come and register for the treasure one by one.

Zhang Ke, this jade pendant is handed over to you.

Li Tiehammer, take this pendant.

Du Hao...

Assigned one by one.

Everyone gets one first.

Looking at the 'raw materials' on the tray, Chen Shaojun knew that it was time to witness whether his previous idea could be implemented, so he quickly cast the spirit eye technique.

In an instant, the treasures on the tray changed in his eyes.
