Chen Xuan practiced the moves of the third level of the Giant Bear Kung Fu over and over again.
Before taking Jiuyang Lingjin Pills, he could only increase his proficiency by 1 point after practicing. However, after taking the secret medicine Jiuyang Lingjin Pills, he could increase his proficiency by at least 3 points.
As his proficiency deepens, his movements become more and more smooth.
Giant Bear Skill: 54/15000/Level 3.
An hour later, Chen Xuan absorbed all the effects of Jiuyang Lingjin Pills, and the pain in his big muscles had disappeared.
Without taking the secret medicine Jiuyang Lingjin Pills, he could only increase his proficiency by 10 points after practicing for an hour. However, after taking the secret medicine of Yijin Realm, he could increase his proficiency by 44 points in an hour.
After practicing for two hours, Chen Xuan felt hungry.
He came to the kitchen and started making steamed chicken.
Chen Xuan did not use normal ingredients for steaming chicken, but some herbal information flashed in his mind.
Some of these herbs can remove fishy odor, some can stimulate appetite, some can increase stomach motility and speed up absorption, some can nourish vitality, and some can increase taste...
In half an hour, the fragrant steamed chicken is ready.
Cooking 3
Medicine 2
Two text prompts appeared in front of Chen Xuan's eyes.
He opened the proficiency panel and looked at cooking and medicine.
Cooking skill: 1214/15000/Level 3.
Medicine: 8521/10000/Level 2.
Cooking a dish also improves your cooking and medicinal proficiency.
Chen Xuan discovered this more than ten days ago.
There happened to be no ingredients for cooking that time, so he chose some medicinal materials as ingredients.
Then I unexpectedly discovered that my medicine proficiency had actually improved.
"This is considered medicinal food!"
Chen Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
Steamed chicken made into medicinal food not only tastes more delicious, but also more nutritious.
Soon, Chen Xuan finished all the steamed chicken and drank all the soup.
"It's time to go on patrol!"
Chen Xuan put on patrol uniform and went out with a machete at his waist.
When the patrol team was first established, it was said to be temporary, but after two months, there was no sign of it being disbanded, and three of the team captains were promoted to official officials.
For example, Ling Ye, the captain of Beicheng District, became the head catcher, responsible for arresting thieves.
The other two captains, Cao Lin and Tong Yinsheng, became Dian Shi and Tao Hui Secretary respectively in charge of supervising prisoners.
Although they are all low-level miscellaneous jobs, they are officially registered as officials and can be passed down from generation to generation, with sons taking over the duties of their fathers.
The vacant captain position will naturally be filled by the captain below.
In any case, the patrol team is composed of more than 500 warriors.
Although most of them are just warriors in the Jinjin Realm, such a force is much stronger than the officers and soldiers composed of 500 ordinary people. Since the county lieutenant has taken control of the patrol team, he will naturally not let it go easily.
After a while, Chen Xuan arrived outside the city gate of the eastern city of Qingshui County.
A resettlement area was established here to accommodate refugees who migrated from nearby towns. Even Qingshui County was captured by the bandits, let alone the towns below, which could not stop the bandits at all.
Moreover, it snowed heavily for a month in December last year and suffered a snow disaster. People in these towns could not survive and migrated to the county one after another, as well as refugees from Yishui County.
It was just that they had learned the lesson from Yishui County. The county government was afraid that there were demons from the Taiping Sect hiding among these refugees, so they did not dare to let these refugees enter the city. They could only set up resettlement sites outside the city to resettle the refugees.
In the resettlement area, the shanties are in a mess and garbage is everywhere.
Some careless people even dump their excrement on the roadside casually.
There was a thick stench in the air.
Before Chen Xuan entered the resettlement area, he smelled the stench in the air.
The people here are all pale-faced and skinny.
These are troubled times, and people are dying every day.
In comparison, although the people living in the county also have a difficult life and are often squeezed by gangs, they are at least much better off than these hungry refugees.
After a while, Chen Xuan came to the open area on the edge of the resettlement area.
At this time, more than ten rows of wooden houses were temporarily built, which was one of the soup kitchens in the resettlement area.
"Chen Xuan, here we come."
Liu Hansheng saw Chen Xuan arriving and said hello.
"Um."
Chen Xuan nodded in response.
The patrol team is now moving wherever it is needed.
Whenever the government is short of manpower, it will ask the patrol team to borrow people.
After the resettlement area was established, several patrol teams were arranged to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in giving soup and maintain order in the resettlement area.
Chen Xuan is still paired with his partner Liu Hansheng.
Not long after they entered the resettlement area, they saw a group of people wearing Taoist robes in the distance.
The leader was an old Taoist who looked like an immortal, muttering something in his mouth. Behind the old Taoist, a young Taoist wearing a Taoist robe held some triangular talismans and threw them from house to house.
The faces of the refugees who received the triangular talisman all showed joy.
Chen Xuan was not surprised by this scene.
These Taoist priests came from the Changchun Taoist Temple, sixty miles east of Qingshui County. They were specially invited by the government to stabilize people's hearts and prevent these refugees from being seduced by the Taiping Cult's evil ways and causing trouble.
"Chen Xuan, do you think this talisman from Taoist Master Kongqing of Changchun Taoist Temple is really useful?" Seeing this scene, Liu Hansheng whispered: "That triangular talisman seems to be called a disaster-repelling talisman. As long as you wear it, it can eliminate disasters."
Oh, and that talisman water, drinking it can cure diseases and save people. Why does this sound so mysterious? If it is really so magical, what else do doctors need to do?"
"It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not, as long as these refugees believe it."
Chen Xuan replied calmly.
What Liu Hansheng said about the talisman water that can cure diseases is actually that these Taoist priests put some medicinal powder into the talisman water in a special way that no one would notice. The effect of the medicinal powder can refresh people's minds and temporarily stimulate people's life.
vitality.
So after drinking it, your mental state will be much better at that time.
Just by relying on this little trick, Taoist Master Kong Qing established a high prestige among these refugees in a short period of time.
"That's true, as long as these refugees don't make trouble." Liu Hansheng nodded and said, "Since the arrival of Taoist Master Kong Qing, these refugees have indeed become more settled."
"I heard that the county has mobilized 30,000 garrison troops to completely wipe out the bandits roaming in Yingchuan County." Liu Hansheng said: "As long as the bandits are eliminated, the situation will get better and help the refugees rebuild their homes."
"I hope so!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
He also hopes that this troubled time will end soon.
Stay at home and work on your proficiency quietly, trying to become the Shilipo Sword God before leaving the mountain.
