Chapter 41: Foothold

Zhang Lingyun: "I can introduce someone to Jin'an." ”

"That man's name is He Cheng. ”

"Maybe few people in Chang County know about this person. ”

"But when it comes to twenty years ago, even in Fucheng, many people have heard of this person's name. ”

"He Cheng went to Fucheng in his early years, and his fame was shocked for a while. But later, because of the improper practice of martial arts all the year round, he was left with a stubborn illness and was riddled with illness, but unfortunately he was less than forty, and returned to his hometown Changxian with a stubborn physical illness and retired to the rivers and lakes. ”

"He Cheng became famous in his early years, and he had two stunts. ”

"The first is the hard qigong's "Thirty-six Hands to Open the Tablet Fist". ”

"The second is the "Lack of Knife Law". ”

"The strongest of them is the hard qigong "Thirty-six Hands Open the Tablet Fist", and the "Lack of Knife Method" is similar to the "Blood Knife Sutra" learned by the son of Jin An, which is the last stream in third-rate martial arts. But "Thirty-six Hands Open Tablet Fist" is different, although it is also a third-rate martial arts, it is the top of the third-rate martial arts. ”

"This is a door to practice bone martial arts, He Cheng relied on this hard qigong when he was young to practice the muscles and bones of the whole body, the skin membrane, the skin is hard, and the strange power is amazing, and with the "Lack of Knife Method", he has made a lot of fame in the city where martial arts people gather. ”

"It's just a pity that hard qigong is the most likely to damage the body, so when cultivating, it is often necessary to exhaust a lot of family wealth to nourish the body with medicinal stones in order to keep up with the damage to the body. so as not to hurt the root and fall into a stubborn disease. ”

"If you just blindly practice, wait for the peak of the human body to be thirty years old, and begin to enter the age of vitality and decay, all kinds of diseases and torments will begin to follow. ”

"First I had pain in the joints of my body, then I was coughing up blood and I was paralyzed from the couch. If the family is wealthy, and the family wealth is exhausted and hanged with medicine stones, it may be able to endure until the age of fifty. If it is an ordinary family, there is no medicine stone to hang their lives, and forty is the time limit. ”

And He Cheng belongs to the latter. ”

"When he was young, his family was poor, and he accidentally got the "Thirty-six Hands to Open the Tablet Boxing", because he couldn't afford to buy medicinal stones to nourish the body, he blindly practiced, and when he was young, he was vigorous and did not feel anything else, and when he was at the peak of his vitality at the age of thirty, hidden dangers immediately appeared. ”

Therefore, He Cheng only became famous for five or six years, and then he was like a flash in the pan, quitting the rivers and lakes early and returning to Changxian County to retreat. In the second half of his life, he spent all the gold and silver he earned in his early years on buying medicine to continue his life. The famous swordsman back then is now just a sickly old man who can't even afford a tael of silver life-sustaining medicine every month. ”

"I was even afraid that I would be approached by the enemies of the rivers and lakes in my later years, and I have been incognito and no one cares. ”

"If the prince of Jin An really needs martial arts, I can introduce him to the prince of Jin An, He Cheng is now in urgent need of money to continue his life, if the prince of Jin An comes to the door at this time and proposes to buy his "Thirty-six Hands Open Tablet Fist" and "Lack of Knife Method", presumably He Cheng will not refuse the son of Jin An. ”

"But I still have to remind Gongzi Jin An that although hard qigong is more effective than internal exercises, if you are not careful when cultivating, you will fall into a lot of stubborn diseases and hidden dangers. If Gongzi Jin'an still insists on looking for He Cheng after listening to the advice, I can continue to introduce Gongzi Jin'an. ”

Here, Zhang Lingyun and Jin An whispered softly, and over there, there was a bustle in the lobby, and the shopkeeper Zhang was still chasing the girl in a circle, but he couldn't catch up with the child's two little short legs.

The shopkeeper Zhang was so angry that his face turned white.

......

Half a day later.

On the corner of West Street in Changxian County, surrounded by low-rise houses, Jin An and Zhang Lingyun walked out of one of the courtyards, which was old, cracked, dilapidated, and poor.

An old man with a thin body looked excited and gratefully sent the two out of the house.

When you walk out of the narrow alley and re-enter the lively street with endless flow of people, people are bathed in the sunshine, and even their hearts have their own sunshine.

Zhang Lingyun, who has a white forehead, has smart eyes, and seems to be in a good mood.

"Unexpectedly, the son of Jin An is a Taoist person, Taoist people pay attention to health preservation and longevity, the son of Jin An gave He Cheng a breath of Dan Qi, and helped He Cheng readjust the yin and yang of the body and the vitality of the five organs, which is more precious than ordinary people picking up ten thousand taels of gold. Originally, it was the son of Jin'an who asked to come to the door, but now it has become He Cheng's request for the son of Jin'an, and life is really impermanent. ”

After Zhang Lingyun finished speaking, she asked Jin An again: "I don't know where Jin An's son came from?"

"Master?" Jin An seemed to be a little distracted.

"I'm kind of a Taoist of the Five Organs. ”

"The teacher is a person of the five internal organs. ”

Jin An quickly came back to his senses, and then smiled frankly.

I once read a book of "Qishan Miscellaneous Records", which mentioned that Taoism is also divided into several sects, one of the most famous sects is the Quanzhen Sect, are you the Quanzhen Sect Gongzi Jin'an?"

After hearing this, Jin An smiled and said: "The Five Organs Taoism is a small Taoist temple that does not enter the stream, and it is not a true Taoism. ”

The two walked side by side, Zhang Lingyun's face was beautiful and flawless, her skin was as white as jade, and her skin seemed to shine in the noon sun: "Zhengyi? Quanzhen Sect?

Jin An thought about it, he was also a half-way beginner, and he didn't know much about these, so he replied: "The Quanzhen Sect can't marry a wife and have children, it's okay to be a party, there is no restriction on marrying a wife and having children." ”

Zhang Lingyun nodded suddenly.

However, this time, there is a Jin'an Gongzi who takes action to regulate He Cheng's body functions, and it can be seen that He Cheng's complexion is much ruddy today, and the Dan Qi of Jin'an Gongzi is very effective for He Cheng. Gongzi Jin An helped He Cheng to recuperate a few more times, presumably He Cheng's old stubborn disease could be eradicated soon. ”

Who knows, the look on Jin An's face is not as optimistic as Zhang Lingyun.

"He is terminally ill, and his internal organs are seriously decayed, even if I help him reorganize the yin and yang of his body and the life functions of his five internal organs, he has no skills. If you delay your life for a maximum of ten years, you still can't escape the pain and die. ”

Zhang Lingyun: "Gongzi Jin'an, you are obsessed, and you want to make everything perfect, but in this world, the flowers will wither, the blades of grass will wither, and even the sun and moon in the sky above your head will also be cloudy and sunny, how can anything be perfect?"

"He Cheng is forty and three this year, and if he lives for another ten years, he will be fifty-three years old, which is already considered a long life for ordinary people. ”

Jin An was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

The gloom in my heart is gone.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyun, who looked cold and difficult to get along with, would also be comforting.

The ancients were limited by sanitary conditions and backward medical conditions, and the average life expectancy was very short, with an average life expectancy of about 50 years.

is like a sixty or seventy-year-old man, who is already a birthday star.

He Cheng practiced martial arts improperly in his early years, and his body fell into serious disability and disease, and he was indeed lucky to be able to live to the age of fifty-three.

The two did not go back immediately, Jin An accompanied Zhang Lingyun to visit the market, and took the opportunity to buy a box of Red Moon Rouge, which was very famous among the nobles in the northern capital, and gave it to Zhang Lingyun to express his gratitude.

Then in a pharmacy, according to the prescription for strengthening muscles and bones recorded in the "Thirty-six Hands Open Tablet Boxing", I grabbed the medicine, walked all the way, and when I returned to the inn, it was almost dusk.

When he was about to arrive at the inn, Jin An bought a box of pastries and brought it to the greedy Fu Luoli.
