Chapter 8 Fishing Toad Strength
"Young Master!" Seeing Gao Cheng's figure, Chen Hong immediately came over and said hello.
Gao Cheng's eyes swept over the twenty-two shopkeepers in front of him and nodded slightly. "Teacher Chen has worked hard these days. How are these shopkeepers training?"
Chen Hong said: "They trained quite seriously. If they were single-on-one, their strength was still above those bandit minions. However, they had never experienced actual combat and could not really compete with bandits."
There are nearly 100 tourists in Zhaojiazhuang, but these tourists consume hundreds of taels of silver every year, accounting for almost 60% of Zhaojiazhuang's annual income.
However, it was a forced way to raise so many people. In the past, there were only twenty or thirty shopkeepers in Zhaojiazhuang. Later, the world gradually became chaotic, and twenty or thirty shopkeepers could not protect the safety of Zhaojiazhuang at all. Gradually, the number of shopkeepers more than doubled.
"It is better to recruit a good man from the world to raise so many farmers. If Zhaojiazhuang is attacked by bandits, nearly 100 farmers can only block the bandits' minions. The farm really relies on Chen Hong!"
Gao Cheng shook his head slightly in his heart, not very optimistic about the strength of these patrons. He did not disturb the training of these patrons, but came aside, erected a fist, and began to practice the fist taught by Chen Hong.
As soon as Gao Cheng made a move, a howling fist wind suddenly sounded in the schoolyard. The various moves of this set of fist seemed to pour rain in his hands, and kept roaring and roaring.
When Chen Hong saw this scene, his eyes twitched slightly, and a hint of horror appeared in his heart. "The young master's talent for fisting and kicking is so amazing? In just ten days, he practiced this set of fist to this level!"
"And the power contained in boxing is not weak. With this power alone, the young master is almost the same as those boxers in the county! The young master must have mastered Yin Daozhang's golden toad skills!"
Chen Hong thought that more than ten days ago, the young master was just a child of an ordinary family with weak hands and feet. He was beaten and injured while looking for flowers and willows in the county town.
Now, Young Master Zhao in the school field has a transcendent demeanor and a sharp fist style, as if he has become a different person.
The shopkeepers who were training not far away also saw this scene, and subconsciously slowed down and focused most of their attention here.
Before Gao Cheng came to this world, Zhao Yu was like a playboy in the hearts of these shopkeepers. The shopkeeper was respectful on the surface, but he regarded Zhao Yu as a joke in his heart. Otherwise, the two shopkeepers who were guarding the gate would not have been punished for talking about the young master.
However, now Gao Cheng's fists and feet are continuous and the whistling wind shocks these tourists. Admiring the strong is human instinct. When the tourists saw that Mr. Zhao's strength has become stronger, they have changed their views one after another.
"Young Master has really changed if you can endure hardships and practice boxing!"
Gao Cheng ignored the thoughts of these shopkeepers. After practicing the fence three times, his breath jumped violently. His figure turned forward, and the accumulated internal energy burst out suddenly, and he suddenly rushed to the front of the wooden man stake on the edge of the school field.
Boom! A punch was blown out, and the wooden stakes exploded and the wood chips flew.
"This... this is the toad fishing force! A skill that can only be used only when the golden toad skill is practiced to the second level!" Chen Hong was shocked, revealing an incredible look.
He also knew Yin Daozhang's Golden Toad Achievement and Toad Fishing Power. Gao Cheng spent ten days practicing the first level of the Golden Toad Achievement. It can be said that he was extremely talented, but it was a bit shocking to practice the second level.
Chen Hong was able to become a famous boxer in Huayin and practice Gangqi was the result of more than ten years of hard practice. Gao Cheng only took ten days to reach his current level.
Gao Cheng's day was equivalent to his hard work for a year. Such a sharp contrast really made Chen Hong feel a little discouraged and almost lost the confidence to continue practicing boxing.
"Young Master is really a natural material for practicing martial arts! In just ten days, I have practiced the Golden Toad Technique to the second level. This is the first time I have seen this situation in so many years!"
Chen Hong took two steps forward, and his eyes were still shocked. "The Golden Toad Craft has reached the second level. The internal energy is warm and moistened the internal organs, prolonged life, and can also condense into true qi through the toad fishing force, and the internal organs and bones are condensed into one. Their strength is still above the martial arts master who practices the outer qi! Congratulations, in the near future, the young master's strength will surpass me!"
In the Water Margin world, warrior cultivation is divided into internal and external kung fu. Whether it is internal or external kung fu, as long as you practice to a high level, you can transcend the world and become a powerful man invincible to thousands of men.
The foreign kung fu is explosive and strong, not good at health preservation, but it is extremely powerful in the early stages of cultivation. The good players on the Green Forest Road in the Jianghu and the powerful generals in the army are basically this way.
Internal Kung Fu is generally a method of Taoism and Buddhism. Internal Qi Kung Fu can prolong life and achieve a high level of practice.
"I can practice boxing, and I have also contributed to Teacher Chen!" Gao Cheng laughed. His realm was as high as the sixth level. He had the consciousness of a true immortal and had already comprehended all the methods of the Golden Toad Practice.
When using the medicine bath to practice to the first level, Gao Cheng had no bottlenecks, and breaking through was as simple as eating and drinking water. However, after practicing the Golden Toad Technique to achieve the second level, it is necessary to condense the internal energy into true qi, so the speed is not that fast.
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, another two or three months passed, and hundreds of acres of land in the Zhao family and other tenants' fields became golden, and it was the harvest season.
The bandits of Shaohua Mountain, who worried Butler Zhao, did not go down the mountain to attack Zhaojiazhuang. Everyone in the village felt much more at ease, and their tense hearts suddenly relaxed.
During this period, Gao Cheng has been practicing qigong. Occasionally, during the intervals of practice, he asked about Zhaojiazhuang and Huayin County, which was the entire Yan'an Prefecture through his butler and his patrol customers.
He slowly understood this high-level Water Margin world, like a small fish lurking in the water, constantly eating shrimps and growing slowly, looking forward to the future when it turns into a dragon.
In this ancient world, the harvest of grain in agriculture and fields was crucial, from the survival of one household to the rise and fall of a huge empire.
For Zhaojiazhuang and all tenants, they have to be busy during this period, and after harvesting, they must be wary of bandits coming to grab grain.
The most common thing for those bandits who occupy the mountains and forests is to take advantage of the food collection to go down the mountain and rob some small villages without guards and boxers.
"Young Master! The harvest this year is good, and one acre of land can produce two stones of grain!"
Gao Cheng, Mr. Zhao and others walked out of the farm and looked at the busy tenants in the fields outside. The tenants in Zhaojiazhuang were 50% of them, and compared with other large landlords, the rent was not too heavy.
Some of the large households who have severe exploitation have a sufficient rent of 60% to 70% of the land. The tenant households have a fever and cold, and if they have a minor illness, they will lose their money. They have to sell the land under their name to the large households, and eventually they have nothing.
