[During the new book period, my dear friends, please support me a lot. Please click on favorites to recommend anything.]
The sun and moon are unknown in the mountains. Gui Zhong meditates every day, practices martial arts, reads and practices swordsmanship. He lives a very comfortable life. It seems like another month has passed. It has been more than two months since Gui Xinshu and his wife left the mountain.
, these days, Gui Zhong has been practicing hard every day, and has never neglected for a moment. The first level of Kungfu after establishing the foundation of Huashan Mind Method has been nearly completed. As early as a month ago, after he opened the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, he meditated and practiced Qi.
It becomes smoother and smoother, and you can notice an increase in the internal force in your body every day. Up to now, most of the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming has been opened, and only three acupuncture points, Futu, Heliao, and Yingxiang, of the twenty acupoints, have not been opened.
, as long as you accumulate internal strength for a few more days, you will be able to master it in one go. By then, you will be able to master the first level of Huashan Mental Technique, which is the acquired level of martial artist.
And the seventy-two steps of Huashan Sword Technique are also practiced proficiently. The sword moves are connected in a chain, smooth and natural, without a trace of sluggishness. Each move is the same as the sword manual, without the slightest error. This kind of martial arts that has been tempered for thousands of times, with
It is naturally impossible for Gui Zhong's current eyesight and experience to change. Otherwise, if the tiger is not like a dog, it will be a waste of a good sword practice. Therefore, the most important thing for Gui Zhong to learn swordsmanship is purity. Every move, every style, direction and angle,
Make sure there is no difference in the speed of drawing the sword.
It is even more because of the Huashan Heart Method he practiced. When practicing swordsmanship, Qi moves with the sword, and the sword carries Qi. It looks like he is using Qi to control the sword. Practicing swordsmanship every day is also very important for the cultivation of internal strength.
It was helpful. This made Gui Zhong become more attentive when practicing his sword, concentrating on it and not daring to be distracted at all.
In the morning of this day, the morning sun was rising, and Gui Zhong left Jade Girl Peak and arrived at Chaoyang Peak next to it. Purple clouds filled the sky in the east, and the halo rose. Standing on the top of the mountain, people felt relaxed, open-minded, and breathed fresh.
With the sword in hand, Gui Zhong once again started his daily sword practice. Over the past few days, he has changed the location of sword practice to the top of Chaoyang Peak. The surrounding area is empty, which helps to relax his mind and comprehend the sword.
The deep meaning between the moves.
While the green light was puffing out, the Huashan sword technique unfolded in Gui Zhong's hands like clouds and flowing water. Sometimes the sword light was sharp, the green light flashed with a chill, sometimes it was soft and dense, the sword light was like clouds filling the sky, and sometimes it rose across the sky.
, the sword light is like lightning, the wind and rain, various sword moves of Huashan Sword Technique are used in his hands, continuously, with chi chi sounds, the whole body moves and flashes, wrapped in layers of sword light, only the green light can be seen
People, under the illumination of the morning glow, are like immortals on the top of mountains, elegant and handsome to the extreme.
Phew, after half a meal, a set of Huashan sword skills was finally completed. Gui Zhong let out a long breath, and his eyes were dazzling, like lightning and a sword, which was very scary.
"Well, I'm already 30 to 40% proficient in this set of Huashan swordsmanship, but I haven't been able to fight against anyone so far. I don't have any combat experience. I haven't learned this set of swordsmanship yet. I can only follow the steps step by step.
There is still a long way to go before we can master this skill." Gui Zhong was silent for a moment, muttering to himself, constantly reflecting on himself and thinking about the shortcomings of the sword technique just now.
"Oh, my parents don't know when they will return to the mountain. It has been more than two months. What on earth is so important? It takes so much time for them to do it. If they don't come back to the mountain, I will go down to buy some.
It's just for daily use, but it's not bad. I haven't even gone to the foot of Huashan Mountain when I came here. I don't know what it was like in the early years of the Qing Dynasty."
The mountain breeze blew for a while on the top of Chaoyang Peak, which calmed down the boiling blood. Seeing the sun rise, Gui Zhong also went down the mountain. After a while, he arrived at his small courtyard and took a look. He found that the rice and noodles had bottomed out. In desperation,
, went back to the back room to get a piece of silver, a cloth bag in his hand, and a long sword in his hand. Feeling that he had missed nothing, he walked down the mountain.
Huashan Mountain has been a very dangerous road since ancient times, with many planks in the sky. If it was Gui Zhong in the past, who was weak and sick, then the next trip to the mountain would be really difficult. Fortunately, after more than half a year of practicing martial arts to strengthen his body, it is even more difficult.
With the acquired level of martial arts cultivation in his body and his body as light as a swallow, this journey to Huashan Mountain is not difficult at all.
Half an hour later, Gui Zhong had arrived at the foot of Huashan Mountain. Within three or five miles, he saw a small city. Above the city gate were the three characters "Huayin County". It was simple, vicissitudes of life, and the traces were mottled and it was hard to tell how many years had passed there.
, with a thought in his mind, Gui Zhong thought that when Xiaoao was in the world, it was probably the Ming Dynasty, and the county at the foot of Huashan Mountain was called Huayin County. Now it is the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and the name Huayin County still exists.
It also makes people feel sad.
It was already morning, and the gate of Huayin City was crowded with people. Many of them were farmers from all over the country, pushing carts or carrying bags. These people went to the city to do small business to support their families.
There were some Shengdou civilians and some who came lightly packed with little luggage, probably passing by here. Gui Zhong walked towards the city gate with the flow of people, watching this scene quietly, especially when he saw that those men were all
Just like his own family, he has a braid on the back of his head, and his brows are furrowed.
"Well, life in the Qing Dynasty was not easy. Apart from other things, this pigtail is really unpleasant. It seems that I have to find a solution. A good man, a dignified Han citizen, has such a pigtail.
The tail is very depressing."
In the crowd, Gui Zhong's mind was racing, thinking about how to get rid of this braided attire. It was too uncomfortable to have it on his head. He didn't feel it in the mountains before, but now when he saw the long crowd, they all looked like this.
It made him very depressed.
Depressed, Gui Zhong finally had to do business. After paying the scattered copper coins as the city entrance tax, Gui Zhong finally entered Huayin County and saw the appearance of an ancient city for the first time.
As soon as you enter the city, you can hear the sounds of busy people. There are traders, candy sellers, jugglers, entertainers, and people doing small business at roadside stalls. It's so lively.
The buildings in this county are also antique, with blue bricks and blue tiles, typical of Ming and Qing dynasty buildings.
"Well, let's not be busy shopping. I didn't even eat when I got up in the morning. I'm looking for a restaurant to try the taste. I wonder what restaurants are like these days."
With this idea in his mind, Gui Zhong stopped looking for a shop selling rice, flour, grains and oils, and went shopping on the street. Not long after, he saw an old shop with a sophisticated facade, banners hanging in front of the door, and the fragrance of rice greeting the street.
When I looked up, I saw a plaque hanging with four large gilt characters "Taihua Old Store" written in it. The font was strong, the writing was bold and the spirit was extraordinary. It was obvious that the person who wrote this had some troubles in his heart, and he didn't know who had left it.
Judging from the appearance of the plaque, it seems to be quite old. It is worthy of being an old store in Taihua.
As soon as Gui Zhong entered the door, he was immediately greeted by a waiter from a shop. He had a white towel on his shoulders, a short-sleeved outfit, and he was very clean. When he saw Gui Zhong, a young man with a somewhat pale face, his eyes immediately lit up.
Walking quickly, he came to his side and asked, "Please tell me objectively, how many of you are there?" Gui Zhong had a smile on his face. He felt that the waiter's eyes were shrewd and sincere, which gave people a good impression. Let's have a look at this old store.
The hotel is much better, and the service is more comfortable.
"The next one, the second brother will arrange a seat by the window. Let's have some good wine and good food." Gui Zhong came from a later generation after all. Everything was very familiar. He reached out and grabbed a handful of copper coins from his pocket.
As a reward, the smile on the waiter's face became brighter and brighter. While shouting loudly towards the store, he placed the return bell in a position by the window. Before sitting down, he carefully used the white towel in his hand to clean the bell.
The tables and chairs were wiped down and the service was very attentive.
Soon, a table of food was served like water, as well as a pot of Taibai Nong, which is also a famous wine in Guanzhong. Gui Zhong ate and drank at the same time. He was very content and felt extremely relaxed. There were many customers in the store.
, there were shouts, guessing, and whispers, but his table was very quiet and leisurely.
Suddenly, a voice fell into his ears, "Brother Zhao, have you heard that the rivers and lakes were very lively a few days ago. It is said that some gangsters in the south have done great things and even connected the two lakes.
Even a prefect was killed. The Qing government was furious and sent out many troops, killing many men from the Jianghu. "" Hey, we naturally have better information about the Jianghu. It is said that the Qing government magistrate was extorting excessive taxes and was corrupt and perverting the law.
, did all kinds of evil, causing the common people to complain, and finally provoked many gangsters to take action, and cut off the heads of the prefect in one night, and hung them outside the palace gate!" Gui Zhong's expression changed, and he concentrated on finding out about these two people.
Speaking of words, the two people who spoke were both rough and arrogant men from the world. They had dark skin, gnarled muscles, and ferocious faces. They looked a bit brave. They were obviously men from the world.
"Shh, Brother Wang, please keep your voice down. The news is very tight now. Many gangsters have been implicated, and many people have been killed. This time the Qing court is completely angry. I heard that they would do this."
It seems that the one who is responsible for such a big deal is a hero from the Tiandihui!"
"No way. I heard that they were some wanderers who took action to kill people when they encountered injustice on the road. Isn't it the Heaven and Earth Society?"
The two of them were talking nonchalantly, and Gui Zhong naturally heard it clearly. His heart moved. Somehow, he suddenly remembered that his parents came down the mountain after receiving some letter. Maybe it was related to this matter?
Thinking of this, Gui Zhong felt a little uneasy again, fearing that something might happen to Gui Xinshu and his wife. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to worry. According to the plot of the original work, Gui Xinshu and his wife were still fine until the Kangxi period, and now they are doing well.
It's only the 14th year of Shunzhi, which is very early. Besides, with their martial arts skills, as long as they are not surrounded by a large number of soldiers and horses, there will definitely be no problem.
Thinking of this, Gui Zhong's worries suddenly disappeared a lot, and he no longer paid attention to them. After enjoying a delicious meal, he paid the bill and left. There were four or five exquisite side dishes, including both meat and vegetables, plus a pot of nothing.
To save him, the total cost was less than one tael and less than two taels of silver. This gave him a deeper understanding of the purchasing power of silver in this era.
After leaving the old Taihua store, Gui Zhong spent half a day playing in Huayin County, then bought a large bag of rice, flour, grains and oil and set off back to the mountain.
This big bag of things weighs more than a hundred kilograms in total. It is not easy for a strong man to carry these things. However, Gui Zhong is now accomplished in martial arts and his strength has greatly increased. This mere weight does not count.
What's the matter? I just carried it all the way out of the county and headed for Huashan. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
