After Zhao Zhou saw Teng Qingshan again, and slightly probed his current physical condition with his six senses, he looked at the patriarch next to him, and casually found a reason for 'after many years of traveling in mountains and rivers, now tired', and stayed in Tengjiazhuang, as if agreeing to the patriarch's original invitation.

Here, the years have passed in a flash.

Before I knew it, it was half a year later, the winter solstice.

Also today.

The snow was fluttering, and the inside and outside of Zhuangzi were white.

And in the past six months, since Zhao Zhou lived in the village, in addition to the daily fixed practice of practicing his powers, sometimes he would go hunting and wandering with the villagers, or if someone in the family was sick, he would make a cameo appearance as a mountain doctor.

Don't really say it.

Zhao Zhou's skillful rejuvenation technique can be said to be a medicine to cure the disease, and has been respected and grateful by many villagers.

This also made many villagers in the village sick, and they couldn't bear to go over, or go to the town for medical treatment, but brought some wine and asked the gentleman of the stone house in the south of the village to take a look.

In this way, Zhao Zhou is also more integrated into Tengjiazhuang.

But other than that.

Zhao Zhou has nothing to do, and occasionally goes to visit Teng Qingshan, who is still in swaddling clothes, and then uses the sound wave shock method to help him slightly expand the small muscles and bones in his body.

This is also the qualification that the sound wave method will not hurt Teng Qingshan's body, and it can also transform Teng Qingshan in front of outsiders.

Therefore, this led to the people who accompanied Zhao Zhou to see Teng Qingshan, and no one knew that this gentleman in the village was attacking the patriarch's grandson. ’

Although Teng Qingshan is young, he also has the thinking of an adult, and he can feel his own changes more.

So that every time he saw Zhao Zhou and his grandfather come to see him, and was still helping him expand his muscles, he was always curious about how this immortal 'crossed', and how this immortal recognized his 'reincarnated' self, but he was even more curious about why this immortal wanted to help him.

But.

Since Zhao Zhou is here, and he wants to do it seamlessly, he must still be fully prepared.

And so.

Two months ago, that is, the third month of his coming to this world, Zhao Zhou came to see Teng Qingshan with the patriarch for the fifth time, so he casually talked about a few reasons for 'Jiuding', which led to his inadvertent coming to the Kyushu Continent, and only then did he come to the vicinity of Tengjia Village, and he also sensed the breath of an acquaintance. ’

I also came to the village to have a look, and saw the 'old people' of the original hometown. ’

In particular, Zhao Zhou's 'Jiuding crossing reason' is perfect, and it is not much different from the information on the data, and it is almost the same as Teng Qingshan's own crossing experience.

At least ensure that Teng Qingshan will never doubt whether he has any purpose after he really discovers Jiuding's secret in the future.

Even if he was strange, he was only strange why Zhao Zhou could 'physically cross', while he was 'soul reincarnation'. ’

But this is not a big problem, and the identity of an immortal can be completely summed up.

In this.

Teng Qingshan, who already had some speculations, had all his doubts gone, and could only sigh 'sympathy', without the slightest suspicion that Zhao Zhou had brought him through.

Because, he has seen Fang Ding in the village, and he knows the small Ding on his chest, and then counting Zhao Zhou's explanation, if he is still guessing, it is a serious victim paranoia.

If this is the case, he will not be able to break through the realm of the grandmaster in his previous life.

And why Zhao Zhou helped him expand his muscles and veins, etc., Zhao Zhou can better explain.

A poem, Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei's "Alone in a Foreign Land as a Stranger" "September 9th Memories of Shandong Brothers" is enough to explain.

If not, Zhao Zhou has more poems that take advantage of the scene, which is enough to reflect the feeling of helping each other in another world.

It seems that he has been waiting for Teng Qingshan to succeed, and then hopes that the two of them will find a way to return to the original world together.

It's just that.

This 'mutual help' was replaced by Zhao Zhou's simple help to Teng Qingshan, and Teng Qingshan did not have anything in return.

Teng Qingshan was even more grateful, and he practiced harder.

But anyway.

Another half a year has passed.

It's snowing again this morning.

Zhao Zhou can be said to have paid off his hard work, coupled with Teng Qingshan's own efforts.

Teng Qingshan, who is now six or seven years old, was quietly practicing the three-body pose on the bed at home at this time, and finally gave birth to the first 'internal strength' in the dantian! ’

It is more than two years earlier than the 'three years old' shown in the original data!

It's a whole few decades faster than Teng Qingshan's previous life!

Although this doesn't sound obvious, it's still too much worse than a strong person like the Void Realm.

But if the image is analogous, it is like a 'half-year-old master' suddenly appeared in the martial arts world! ’

This is simply appalling, and it is almost a 'demon'!

And now, too.

Teng Qingshan, who was wearing a thick cotton jacket like a 'round ball', suddenly found that he had internal strength in his body, he was first shocked and happy, and wanted to talk to Master Zhao.

But I am still young, and my vocal cords are not yet mature, so I can't speak.

Then he looked around, thought about it, and cried 'Wow', wanting to call his father and mother.

"Is the child hungry?"

also cried with Teng Qingshan's 'light thunder, no rain'.

The mother, who was sewing doll cotton clothes in the house, and Teng Yongfan, who was clearing the snow in the courtyard, all came at a trot.

"Wooh.." But Teng Qingshan was crying, and he didn't look at all the things handed by his parents, but his little hand vaguely grasped the direction of the stone house where Zhao Zhou lived.

"I wanted to hear my husband study! I thought the kid was hungry! Teng Yongfan saw his son's appearance, so he laughed and asked his wife next to him to look at the child, don't let Teng Qingshan, who is like a leather ball, roll under the bed.

After saying "I'll go invite Mr.", he went out of the house, stepped on the thick snow, and ran in the direction of Zhao Zhou's stone house.

It lasted for more than ten minutes.

The door opened, and the cold wind carried a few snowflakes into the room to melt.

At this time, Zhao Zhou, who was carrying a book, stepped in the door, which made Teng Qingshan on the bed stop crying.

"Sir. In this cold weather.." Teng Qingshan's mother, who was beside the bed, also smiled apologetically when she saw Zhao Zhou coming, and hurriedly got up and poured tea, so that Mr. and his man could warm up.

"Look, I'll just say that our children want to hear Mr. read! In the future, he will also be a scholar! Teng Yongfan smiled honestly, but he felt that his son was good at learning literature and martial arts, as long as his children liked it, he was a hundred willing.

And when Zhao Zhou came here, he didn't say much, but he was really like a teacher, and after saying 'Let's read here that day', it was as if he could lecture with Teng Qingshan, who was half a year old, and opened his mouth to read the sentence 'Zhihu is also'.

When Teng Yongfan saw it, he didn't bother the child who didn't know if he could understand it, so he withdrew with Teng Qingshan's mother.

"Didn't Erbao hunt a wild boar a few days ago, and asked for two catties. There has been a lot of snow and no hunting for the past two days, and I have to have two drinks with my husband at noon.." The couple went out of the house, whispering, and preparing food and drinks, so as not to interfere with the learning of the two 'masters and apprentices'.

But the sound of chanting in the room was still there.

But when Zhao Zhou spread out the six senses and found that Teng Qingshan's muscles, bones, skin and flesh had a 'sense of qi', he used secret rumors to say: "Congratulations to Master Teng for stepping into the day after tomorrow and condensing his internal strength."

Zhao Zhou said, putting the book down, "And Master Teng was also full of cheats in his previous life, and he was familiar with the cultivation allusions of Buddhism and Taoism. Master Teng said, now with the help of my Zhao Zhou, Master Teng not only practiced his internal strength before he was a year old, but also cleared the muscles and veins of the whole body. Is this what the Taoists call the 'innate body'. ’”

"Babble.." Teng Qingshan on the bed blinked his bright eyes, and danced again, knowing that he was very grateful to this 'Master Zhao'!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the creation of the next life!

'I didn't get the fairy fate in the last world... But after I came to this world, I was helped by Master Zhao when I was a child... It is conceivable that I am now fighting as an 'immortal body', and it will be easy to surpass the realm of my previous life in the future! In this way, I will definitely be able to help Master Zhao find a way to return to the original world together..'

Teng Qingshan's heart was excited, but he couldn't express this gratitude for creation at all.

"I understand Master Teng's thoughts."

Zhao Zhou didn't say much on this issue, but pointed out otherwise: "Master Teng is now an inner diameter. In the future, Master Teng will need medicinal baths and medicinal diets to train his body. Otherwise, it will only hurt your vitality. ”

"Therefore, Zhao Zhou thinks that after Master Teng learns to 'speak', he should let Master Teng know that you want to learn from 'Mr.'."

"In this way, Master Teng also has more time to practice martial arts with Zhao Zhou, so that Master Teng and them will have any misunderstanding, thinking that I, Zhao Zhou, are going to kidnap their precious children."

Zhao Zhou said this, and looked at the doll cotton clothes that Teng Qingshan's mother sewed for him on the table, "Master Teng's family are all honest people. Don't let them worry too much. ”

"Uh-huh." Teng Qingshan nodded his head, it must be ten thousand who are willing to learn from the immortals!

"That's good." Zhao Zhou took the book in his hand, "Let's continue to study." ”

Zhao Zhou's words fell, and he read his own.

Teng Qingshan was coiled like a ball, and he was struggling again.

It wasn't until around noon that Teng Yongfan scooped up the table to set up the dishes, and drank the warm soju.

And Zhao Zhou ate and drank, said goodbye to everyone, stepped on the snow, and returned to his hut, with a spread of palms, two spirit beads appeared.

They are the original Earth Spirit Bead and the 'Wind Spirit Bead' that fused with a few months ago. ’

The fusion process is also the same as the original Bingzang supernatural power, and there are no accidents, let alone anything to mention.

But in addition, his own acupuncture points have been opened to the number of 80,000, which is one step closer to the theoretical consummation realm of 120,000!

"Now. Not counting the acupuncture and the magic of the soldiers. Speaking of my lifting strength alone, it has reached a full two million catties. And at present, the speed of strength improvement is not endless, and it is still growing as before. This is all due to the supernatural powers such as change and the three pulses. ”

Zhao Zhou thought about it, and took out a large amount of flesh and blood medicinal food from the space, or the spiritual herb elixir, that is, he filled his mouth with a big gulp, and let it transform into his own 'new flesh and blood'. ’

It wasn't until I felt 'full' and my weight reached 400 pounds that I stopped eating. ’

"Now it's up to the mark. Now, as before, you can wait until the extra 200 catties of 'new flesh and blood' are all tempered to the 'same level', and then you can continue to fuse yourself and lose weight. ”

Zhao Zhou's calculation fell, and suddenly the wind spirit bead in his body appeared in the center of his back, and the extra 200 catties of gravity in his body were easily offset, and there was no need to waste the energy of the 'celestial gravity'.

And no surprises.

Zhao Zhou's second fusion of the Wind Spirit Bead is to take a fancy to this money-saving ability!

Especially in heavy snowy weather, a strong wind can also reduce the difficulty of snow clearing.

But actually.

Zhao Zhou felt that the 'wind attribute' matched his own Gangfeng, which could be regarded as complementary, and he definitely chose it secondly, but he didn't really want to save money and effort. ’

And this paragraph is finished.

Zhao Zhou had nothing to do, and heard that many villagers in the village had nothing to do in the snowy weather, and now they all gathered in the blacksmith shop in the west of the village, and then came out of the stone house, ready to go to the villagers to chat, brag, and by the way, mix some spirits to drink, eat some game to change their lives.

It's just like I've just come here.

When Teng Yongfan saw that he had come, he smiled honestly, and 'Tang Yao' picked up the freshly polished long sword and waved it a few times in the air.

"Sir, how is my weapon?" He asked, baring a mouthful of white teeth.

But Zhao Zhou hadn't spoken yet.

The villagers next to him were clapping their hands and shouting, "Good weapons!" "Yongfan is not only good at hunting, but also a must-have for forging weapons!" and other words, all of which are praising Teng Yongfan for being worthy of being 'the first blacksmith in Tengjiazhuang' and so on.

Thereupon.

Zhao Zhou, who was well versed in the way of divine soldiers, saw and heard Teng Yongfan so blatantly in front of him, so he wanted to rub his pride and make him understand that a mountain is higher than a mountain, so as to save him from suffering losses in the future.

Can be subsequent.

Zhao Zhou thought that as a teacher, he would be able to use medical skills, although he added 'a little martial arts', but he always felt that if he did another thing now, he would destroy his appearance as a gentleman in white clothes.

This is just like the predecessor of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing he saw a hundred years ago, he is too guarded by one side, and he will have some life-saving efforts in the era of war, but if he suddenly rolls up his sleeves to strike iron, it will definitely be more 'awkward'. ’

And Zhao Zhou also thought about this reason, so he stood in front of the snowy door and praised 'Master Teng's good craftsmanship', while letting him show off in front of him.

But also at this time.

With the sound of 'driving' horses, and the sound of 'trampling' horses' hooves sounded outside the village.

Teng Yongfan and the others all smiled, glanced at each other, and walked towards the outside of the village.

"Sir. You go back first. And walking on the road, Teng Yongfan was also persuading Zhao Zhou, who was also going to Zhuangwai with them, and said: "This is our Yicheng White Horse Gang to collect the New Year's money, and it has to be paid every year, it's not a big deal."

"Annual money." Zhao Zhou thought about it for a few breaths, nodded and said, "Then I want to see what kind of money is collected this year."

Zhao Zhou is familiar with the information, and he knows that this 'annual money' is actually the 'protection fee' of each Zhuangzi, and it is also the long-term 'capitalless business' of the White Horse Gang. ’

And this White Horse Gang has many powerful people, and there are many people with high force, plus they are all evil bandits who lick blood from the knife edge.

Therefore, the Zhuangzi near Yicheng are all more than one thing, not for themselves, but also for the children, so they just handed it over, and they wanted to be peaceful.

But to put it bluntly.

Zhao Zhou has been doing businessless business for many years, and he knows that the 'protection fee' of the White Horse Gang is that if they don't give them money, they want to kill people. If they are given money, they will not necessarily keep themselves and others safe.

In this.

Zhao Zhou thought of this, and thought that since he came to Tengjiazhuang, it was equivalent to being 'covered' by himself here, how could there be a charter for others to collect protection money?

That's not a door-to-door slap in the face!

Wouldn't it be a joke to let friends who know Zhao Zhou hear this!

Especially this is a no-capital business, and it also pays attention to first-come, first-served.

Zhao Zhou was the first to come here, and he saw this again, and he still lived in the Teng family's house and ate the Teng family's banquet, how could there be any reason for outsiders to demolish their own business?

And when Zhao Zhou, Teng Yongfan and others came to the head of Zhuangnei Village.

And with the sound of the horse's nose, it sounded outside the village, blowing away the snowflakes.

Zhao Zhou saw that many villagers in the village had gathered around, and at this time they were looking at the more than 100 mountain bandits outside the fence.

In particular, these mountain bandits wore thin clothes in the cold weather, rode high-headed horses, and showed the scars on their bodies, all showing their strength and exploits to the villagers, as if showing that they had killed a lot of people!

"Listen up!" One of the leaders in front of the mountain bandits, when he saw that the people from Tengjiazhuang were almost all here, he shouted to everyone: "Don't say anything else." It's still the old rule, one person and a half two silver! ”

The leader shook the long cowhide horsewhip, and there was a 'cracking' sound in the air, which shook the snowflakes in the air and made many villagers blink their eyes subconsciously.

"There are about 2,000 people in your Tengjiazhuang, and 1,000 taels of silver can be prepared?" He asked again.

"It's ready." When Teng Yongfan saw the leader's words, he asked a young man with sharp hands and feet to inform the patriarch and prepare to ask someone to carry out the box containing the New Year's money.

But at this time, the young man had not yet informed the patriarch.

Zhao Zhou suddenly came out of the crowd, as if he had something to ask the leader.

At the same time, the leader saw that Zhao Zhou was dressed differently from the villagers of Tengjiazhuang, but he also looked at it suspiciously, and his expression changed Teng Yongfan, who seemed to want to stop his child, said: "Teng family man." I see that this person's eyes are tight, I came to your Tengjiazhuang to collect the annual money for seven years, as if I have never seen him. ”

The leader's words fell, and he pointed at Zhao Zhou with a horsewhip, "What's your surname, are you a guest from another Zhuangzi?" Want to count less? ”

"The surname is Zhao. Mr. Teacher in Tengjiazhuang. Zhao Zhou saw that he hadn't spoken yet, and the leader's sharp eyes were looking for trouble first, but he touched a big gold ingot, which shone under the heavy snow, causing the robbers to look at him.

"Don't say much else." Zhao Zhou Yuanbao picked it up with one hand and let the snowflakes fall on it, "Is this money enough?" ”

"Enough!" The leader laughed, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, "This brother has a big shot, I can't say that I have to find you some broken silver."

"yes, I'm looking for this brother!" The leader's subordinates all had hippie smiling faces, shouting, and one person was assigned to take the ingot.

But at this time, Zhao Zhou collected the ingots again, and said in the somewhat puzzled and angry eyes of the mountain bandits: "In front of so many people, there is no one who is your brother."

Zhao Zhou said, seeing the mountain bandits showing murderous intent, but his words changed, "And this money can be given, but let's say something clear, don't hide it." ”

"Oh."

The leader's tone raised a bit, leaning over and asking, "What about this..." Friend, what do you want to understand? ”

"Be a man and act morally. It's okay to give you money, but can you protect Zhuangzi's safety with the White Horse Gang. Zhao Zhou's demeanor was calm, and he waved his hand sideways, stopping Teng Yongfan and the villagers behind him who wanted to speak.

"That's right, you take the money. If you can't cover it, you will stay. ”

"Shameless for face, is it impossible to find death?" The mountain bandits scolded angrily, and even more so, they all drew out their long knives and aimed them at Zhao Zhou, because Zhao Zhou spoke without politeness at all, and he was clearly stirring up trouble!

"Alas, slow!" The leader chuckled and stopped his subordinates who wanted to kill Zhao Zhou. But there was no smile on his face, but he was full of vigilance, and one hand had already touched the sharp blade on the horse's back,

"Then you say, how to test our brother's ability?"

"Simple."

When Zhao Zhou heard this, he shook his hand, looked at the mountains and bandits, and said, "You wait for one hundred and seventy-two people, as long as you can make a move under my Zhao Zhou's hands, you can take this money, and I Zhao Zhou will not say more." ”

The words fell.

Zhao Zhou waved his hand sideways, and the snowflakes in the radius seemed to suddenly stop, and in an instant, they turned into a tornado and roared, forming a sharp blade-like wind, rolling towards the mountain bandits!

Suddenly, there was a 'hiss' sound of flesh and blood!

Before the mountain bandits could recover from Zhao Zhou's words, they were all blown off by the pale wind, swept away their flesh and blood, leaving only a pair of hollow skeletons, sitting on the horses unharmed.

For a while.

When the villagers saw this horrific scene, there was silence in the village, except for the sound of snow falling.

Although they were frightened in their hearts, they still subconsciously hurriedly covered their children's eyes.

And when Zhao Zhou was able to kill this group of mountain bandits, he turned around and said to the patriarch who was stunned when he came here,

"Since the patriarch asked Zhao Zhou to be the teacher in the village. That is, from today onwards, no matter what sect or gang comes. As long as I Zhao Zhou is here, there will be no annual money in Tengjiazhuang. ”
