9. Promise a war
Time flies, except for setting up a stall to sell tea eggs, the rest of the time, Jiang Yi devotes himself to cultivation.
After a week of cultivation, Jiang Yi finally felt the sense of nothingness and officially stepped into the door of cultivation.
A month later, his dantian finally cultivated his internal strength, which was as subtle as a hair. Although this trace of internal force is extremely weak, Jiang Yi can clearly feel its existence.
That afternoon, Jiang Yi put away his stall and entered the inn, ready to start cultivating.
When I walked into the door, I saw Bai Zhantang sitting in the first place, like an uncle.
Guo Furong was by his side, serving him tea and water, peeling melon seed shells, blinking his big eyes, and looking at Bai Zhantang adoringly.
Xiaobei obediently rubbed his shoulders and back behind his back, like a maid.
When Jiang Yi saw it, he couldn't help but say with some surprise:
"Lao Bai, you can, let the two of them please you so much."
Guo Furong retorted dissatisfiedly: "What is flattering, we are respecting Big Brother Bai." ”
Bai Zhantang waved his hand and smiled proudly: "No way, it's all my personal charm is too great, and it's normal to have two fans." ”
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, then reacted and said, "Oh, they know your true identity, right?" ”
"Hey, did you know about this before?" Guo Furong said strangely.
Bai Zhantang remembered that he had been deceived into revealing his true identity, and said helplessly: "Yes, he has already guessed it." ”
"By the way, Brother Jiang, haven't you been learning martial arts with Lao Bai, how are you learning now, when did we have a trick?"
Guo Furong said eagerly, wanting to fight Jiang Yi, the heir of the thief saint.
Jiang Yi also had a little itchy hands, but he knew his current catties, so he excused himself and said, "I've only been studying for a month, where can I have any strength." In this way, in two months, let's compete again, and I will also test my cultivation results. ”
"Okay, then it's decided, two months later, let's compete."
Guo Furong was suddenly overjoyed, gearing up, eager to fight Jiang Yi for 300 rounds immediately.
After chatting, Jiang Yi raised his feet and walked to the backyard and began to cultivate the sunflower point acupoint.
When, when, when.
With every step he stomped on the ground, there was a crisp sound of gold and iron colliding under his feet.
Looking at his back, Guo Furong was puzzled and asked Bai Zhantang beside him: "Why does he walk with this sound?" ”
"Xiao Jiang, he just asked a blacksmith to create a pair of iron shoes, each of which weighs eight pounds. He planned to wear these iron shoes all the time in the future, so that he could practice light skills and body methods at all times. ”
Bai Zhantang explained.
"Every night, when I take off my iron shoes, I feel bloodblisters and scars on my feet. The little money he earned from selling tea and eggs was all used to buy medicine. ”
Bai Zhantang was quite appreciative of Jiang Yi's attitude of hard cultivation, and said quietly: "If I had him so diligent at the beginning, I am afraid that I can improve the realm by two levels now." ”
Hearing this, Guo Furong also secretly said: "I can't see that Brother Jiang is so ruthless to himself when he practices his skills." ”
The corners of Mo Xiaobei's eyes jumped when he heard this, and he also admired Jiang Yi's hard work. Think about yourself, I can't even bother to do my homework when I go to school.
After this period of experimentation, Bai Zhantang has confirmed the authenticity of the Snow Treading Traceless Light Gong and passed it on to Jiang Yi. Therefore, Jiang Yi needs to wear iron shoes all day long, and cooperate with cultivation to tread snow without a trace.
Of course, Bai Zhantang is also practicing this light skill, but with his profound light skill foundation, he doesn't need to wear iron shoes.
At the same time, because he was jealous of the mysterious master of painting, Bai Zhantang made it appear that he was not interested in learning to paint, and dismissed the old man for painting.
I also gave up my dream of learning to draw.
Backyard.
Jiang Yi pinched his hands into the shape of sword fingers, gathered momentum, and shot out like a sword, constantly practicing the sunflower point acupoint.
It is like a gale, and it is like lightning.
Point technique, pay attention to fast, accurate, ruthless.
You have to be quick and unexpected to hit your opponent.
Secondly, if there is no point in the acupuncture point, then at most it can only poke the person painfully, and it is useless.
Finally, pay attention to ruthlessness, the so-called ruthlessness is not ruthless, but refers to the force to be strong enough.
The strength of the finger determines the effect of the acupoints.
is also cultivating sunflower acupoints, Bai Sanniang's finger power far exceeds Bai Zhantang, and the people she points to live, Bai Zhantang can't solve the acupoint solving technique.
This is the difference caused by the strength of the two sides.
Of course, finger force does not simply refer to finger strength, but also includes internal force.
During his cultivation, as long as Bai Zhantang was free, he would come over to check on it and give some advice. This is also the reason why he wants to cultivate in the backyard.
While practicing, Jiang Yi thought: Maybe in two days, I will buy an iron ring to put on my hand to exercise the flexibility and speed of my hands.
After he put on iron shoes and practiced stepping on the snow without a trace, it was only a few days before he felt that his light skills had improved a lot.
Every time I take off my iron shoes, I feel that my whole body is a little lighter. Obviously, the effect of this weight-bearing exercise is still very good.
By the way, if you want to exercise your finger strength, you can also try iron gall.
Although playing iron guts seems a little low, it is a trick that can only be played in martial arts dramas, but Jiang Yi can't care about these anymore, as long as he can improve his strength.
After practicing for an hour, his hands were sore, numb and painful, and he couldn't lift it, so Jiang Yi stopped.
Begin to meditate and pranayama, practice internal strength, and restore physical strength.
After the pranayama was completed, Jiang Yi remembered something again:
"The matter of selling tea eggs still takes up too much of my time, and I need to think of a way to free myself from this kind of trivial matter and have more time to cultivate."
Jiang Yi now just wants to focus on cultivating martial arts and improving his strength.
However, this business could not be given up, after all, after he started cultivating, his daily expenses were even greater than before. You need to buy medicinal herbs for food supplementation, and you need to buy medicine for injuries caused by cultivation.
If he didn't have an income, the little money he saved now wouldn't last much.
His brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, Jiang Yi said to himself: "Making money with time and physical strength is the most advanced method, and the best way is to make money with money and make money by investment." However, there don't seem to be any good investment projects in Seven Heroes Town. ”
Jiang Yi is not a business-minded person, and there are not so many ways to make easy money, even in ancient times.
After thinking about it for a while, I had an idea: "It's better to buy a maid and let the maid sell tea eggs." Now a maid is not expensive, a twelve- or thirteen-year-old maid can buy one for 5 or 6 taels of silver. Invest some costs in the early stage, and you can not worry about the tea and egg business at all in the future, and you can sit and collect money, which is a good idea. ”
Although Jiang Yi doesn't have a good impression of such things as buying and selling people, this is a disadvantage of the entire era, and it is not something he can change.
Moreover, the maids he bought could at least ensure that the family could eat enough, wear complete clothes, and live a life that would not be too bad. It's not like some miserable maids, who were beaten and scolded by their masters and couldn't eat.
After this month of life, he also has a basic understanding of Seven Heroes Town.
So, the next day, he went to Yazi (that is, the intermediary) to buy a maid.
Maids under the age of 13 are relatively cheap, with prices ranging from 3 taels to more than a dozen taels, and the price difference depends on the health and appearance of the body.
After all, girls at this age are not physically developed, and they can't do any heavy work, so they are naturally cheap.
At the age of 15 or 6, the price of a maid is much higher, after all, the body is basically developed, and she can do something indescribable, and her physical strength is not bad, and she can be regarded as half of the labor force.
Jiang Yi didn't have any messy thoughts, and spent 7 taels of silver to pick a 13-year-old girl with an ordinary appearance, and went home after taking the deed of sale.
The maid's name is Xiao Qi, and she looked at Jiang Yi, the master, with her eyes shrinking.
It's just that behind Jiang Yi's back, he followed step by step, looking timid.
