Chapter seven hundred and ninety-four the martial arts hall in the cold room
There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou!
The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are the brightest pearls among them.
In other words, the literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, and Suzhou and Hangzhou were world-famous as a land of plenty. With developed commerce, it was a rare place of wealth and splendor. Many wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials set up properties in Suzhou and Hangzhou, which were even more famous in the world.
The academy was established here, which brought a rich literary style with the prosperous Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Qiantang County is a county under the jurisdiction of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It is adjacent to the Qiantang River and is equally prosperous and noisy.
Not long ago, a Qin Feng martial arts gym quietly opened in the county town. It is located in a remote corner of a bustling long street. It is inconspicuous at all and the business is quite deserted.
The literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, and there was a saying that "everything is inferior, only reading is good", and it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As long as the family is not so poor that they have no choice but to send their children to private schools for enlightenment whenever possible.
The prosperity of the literary style of the Song Dynasty is no joke. The education system is not only complete but also quite developed. In addition to the public school system, there are many private school systems to supplement it.
From elementary school to county school to prefecture school to Taixue, there are various academies of different sizes and rules. As long as you have the talent to read, it doesn't matter whether your family has money or not.
In order to compete for high-quality students, many private schools and colleges spend money without mercy. Various tuition-free and even scholarship systems are no worse than the modern education system.
In this world where people who are successful in reading and can manifest their literary spirit into supernatural powers, scholars are not synonymous with being powerless, but are strong men who can truly overwhelm the group of practitioners.
Unless the family's financial situation cannot even afford elementary school education, or they really have no talent for reading, few parents are willing to send their children to learn martial arts, not to mention having to pay a hefty tuition fee.
The principle of poor literature and rich military power was equally applicable to the Song Empire!
Therefore, Qin Feng Martial Arts School has been open for more than half a year, but it has not received even a single disciple.
Of course, in addition to the flourishing literary style of the Song Dynasty, the main reason why Lei Hu, the master of the Qin Feng Martial Arts School, had unknown martial arts skills and lacked a reputation was also the main reason why he could not recruit disciples.
That's right, the Qin Feng Martial Arts School in Qiantang County was opened by Lei Hu who came from Qingcheng Mountain.
Ever since he realized that he might be targeted by the gods of Shenting, Lei Hu immediately left Qingcheng Mountain. A gangster like him did not want to be exposed to the sight of Shenting.
Let's not talk about what Shenting would think, but just saying that a life of being under surveillance every day is not something he is willing to accept, and it is not like going to jail.
After making a decision, he directly covered the hilltop where the cave was located with a formation, then said hello to the neighbors, saying that he wanted to retreat into seclusion, and then left quietly without disturbing anyone.
After leaving Qingcheng Mountain, Lei Hu wandered around the Song Empire, which was founded on culture. It took him ten years to travel around the millions of miles of the entire Song Empire, and finally settled in Qiantang County.
The environment within the Kyushu Barrier is very suitable for cultivation. Lei Hu plans to upgrade his cultivation to the realm of Mahayana here, and then find a way to leave the Kyushu Barrier and continue to upgrade his cultivation to the realm of immortals.
After traveling for such a long time, I also had contact with monks in the Song Empire from time to time, and I learned more and more clearly about the situation inside the Kyushu Barrier.
As he knew before, the inside of the Kyushu Barrier is the back garden of Shenting.
Everything here is under the control of the Divine Court. Only Mahayana monks are allowed to exist at the highest level. Once they reach the Immortal Realm, they have to ascend to join the Divine Court.
This is Shenting's method of controlling the area within the Kyushu Barrier. Unless there is a way to leave the Kyushu Barrier directly, it is simply impossible to escape from Shenting's control.
In this regard, Lei Hu did not have much reaction, and there was no emotion such as dissatisfaction or indignation.
Anyway, his cultivation at this time is only at the peak of Yuanshen, and he has not even reached the Mahayana realm. If he wants to touch the immortal realm, he doesn't know how much time he will need to waste.
However, he gradually figured out how to increase Xu Lian's speed inside the Kyushu Barrier to the fastest level, which was what the Kyushu Barrier could withstand.
Good luck!
That's right, the Kyushu Barrier is an area completely controlled by the Divine Court. The rules of heaven and earth here are, to put it bluntly, heavily tilted towards the rules of Shinto.
As for practicing Shintoism, the most important things are incense, faith and luck!
Lei Hu has no idea of converting to Shinto, but he is very familiar with this sect. Don't forget that during the Qin Empire, he was the master of Shinto in the entire empire and controlled the operation of Shinto in the empire.
Within the Nine Provinces Barrier, everything is under the control of Shenting. He doesn't have much room for trouble. It is impossible for him to become the Shinto master of the Song Empire from scratch like the Qin Empire.
The key is that he doesn't want to use his true body to contain the power of incense and faith, which would be a huge hindrance to his fundamental body-refining method.
Since we don't want to get involved in the incense and the power of faith, we have to focus on luck.
At this time, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty Empire was at its peak, and most of the destiny was controlled by the royal family and the court, followed by the large and small noble clans and practicing sects. The remaining ones were rarely left out. Which round will the Thunder Tiger compete for?
Unless he goes out of his way and risks provoking the Divine Court, there is no way to obtain a lot of luck.
The Song Empire was like this, and all the national forces within the Kyushu Barrier basically had no room for his intervention.
Unless he encounters a war-torn country and he steps up to the forefront regardless of everything, there is a possibility of fighting for a lot of luck, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to compete for luck at the national level.
Leihu doesn't have many choices. The best option is to get a lot of luck by interacting with people with great luck and participating in certain events with them.
It just so happened that the legendary story of the White Snake was about to happen here, so Lei Hu naturally set his sights on Qiantang County. Whether it was Bai Suzhen or Xu Xian, or Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, they were all very lucky.
As long as you interact with them and participate in some of the events they encounter, you will naturally get a lot of luck. This is Lei Hu's best choice.
Within the Kyushu barrier where Shinto rules are established, it is not necessary to have too much luck to increase the speed of cultivation. In this way, Lei Hu does not need to spend too much thought. He only needs to distribute enough luck for his own cultivation.
.
After thinking about this clearly, Lei Hu planned to settle down in Qiantang County. Opening a martial arts school was just to find a more normal identity for himself.
By the way, Lei Hu is not Xiao Qing's foolish young man. He still has the courage to go to the county government to steal money when Shenting is tightly controlling everything. He is simply making a joke with his own life.
Every move she makes is under the attention of Kushen. Once Shenting really wants to target her, Xiaoqing will die without a burial place.
Lei Hu was naturally not that stupid. He didn't even use the means of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. He didn't want to attract the attention of the gods who were subordinate to the Divine Court and were closely related to the lives of the people.
The silver used to open the martial arts school was randomly refined from an unowned silver mine he encountered while traveling across millions of miles of the Song Empire. He couldn't be so careful and still attract attention, right?
In other words, the purpose of opening a martial arts gym is to integrate into the lives of the people in Qiantang County as soon as possible. He doesn't care much about whether there are apprentices coming to his door. He lives a leisurely and comfortable life, not at all because no one comes to learn martial arts for more than half a year.
What are the symptoms of anxiety?
Although the neighbors found it strange, there were no gossips.
After all, the masters who open martial arts schools have two skills at their disposal. They are not strong men that ordinary people are willing to offend. It is better not to offend them if necessary.
It is true that the literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, but the real glory was those scholars who were successful in reading and performed well in the imperial examinations. How can scholars who are accessible to ordinary people have any literary blessing?
The prosperity of the literary style was not without its sequelae, that is, the people of the Song Dynasty generally behaved in a polite manner, and were quite afraid of powerful warriors.
It’s not that no one really wants to learn martial arts. After all, the proportion of people who can get ahead in school is too small. People have to make ends meet in life. All walks of life need talents with various professional skills. There is no shortage of opportunities for martial artists, but their status is worse than that of literati.
It's just far away.
In addition to the Qin Feng Martial Arts School that Lei Hu opened more than half a year ago, there are still several martial arts schools in Qiantang County, and they have quite a few disciples. At least there is quite a surplus to maintain the operation of the martial arts schools.
The main reason why no one pays attention to the Qin Feng Martial Arts Gym is that Lei Hu, the gym owner, is too lazy and has no enthusiasm or interest in running the martial arts gym. He neither shows strong force nor takes the initiative to make friends with the other martial arts gym owners. This is not
How is it possible to be famous for being so gregarious?
Fortunately, he didn't care much about it and still lived a leisurely life in his own way.
The neighbors saw this and shook their heads secretly without saying anything.
However, the neighbors who had intended to build a good relationship before had subconsciously distanced themselves from Lei Hu, an unmotivated warrior.
Tsk!
Lei Hu naturally noticed such a subtle atmosphere, but he had no intention of changing it.
No matter how many disciples you have, if only a few are lucky enough to get ahead, is it still a waste of effort?
However, I have lived in Qiantang County for more than half a year, and I have a general understanding of the situation in the county.
Ahem, he came a little early.
By the way, Xu Jiaorong was still a little girl at this time, and Xu Xian had just weaned. They were both the second generation of rich people at this time. Xu's father was a well-known medicinal merchant in Qiantang County, and his family also ran a well-known medicinal herb business.
A large-scale pharmacy.
No wonder when Xu Xian grew up, he wanted to study medicine and become famous. This is the origin of family education.
Seeing that the Xu siblings were living a comfortable life, Lei Hu had no intention of intervening.
Besides, his current status is that of a standard martial artist, and he has nothing to do with a Confucian businessman like Xu's father. He prides himself on being a scholar, so there is no need for Lei Hu to join in the fun...
