Chapter 65: Diners
Early the next morning, He Yiming got up, he washed up, and his depressed appearance suddenly became much less, and he looked a little more energetic.
It's true that he dressed up like that to hide people's eyes, but since he asked yesterday, and even better, the seventh master also went to say hello, if he didn't use it again, it would be called stupid.
But since you plan to be a diner for a few days, of course you have to dress up in spirit, if you still look so down, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious.
After tidying up, he left the room, went to the front desk to settle the bill, and walked down the avenue.
A few miles away, for a cultivator, it didn't take much time at all.
However, under He Yiming's deliberate control, he came to Xujiabao an hour later.
When he saw Xujiabao for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This century-old family is really not something that the current He family can easily surpass.
The whole Xujiabao covers an area of hundreds of acres, and a huge wall is built on the mountain. The walls are about five meters high, and they are all made of huge stones, and from a distance, it looks like an ancient beast crouching on the ground, which makes people feel that they cannot be attacked.
He Yiming had seen the city wall in the county seat, but compared with the Xujiabao in front of him, it was much inferior.
He sighed secretly in his heart, in Taicang County, the power of the government is indeed much inferior to that of the family.
The third brother also once said that although the Cheng family set up their family in the county seat, there are also several Zhuangzi outside the city, and it is said that in their place of origin, it is also a well-guarded place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Whenever he saw some more hole cards of Xu and Cheng, He Yiming's heart was amazed. It is no wonder that the He family, which obviously surpassed the peak combat power of the Cheng and Xu families, could only rank at the bottom of the three major families, which is not unreasonable.
He suddenly thought of something, the He family did not support diners, this is not only because of financial problems, but I am afraid that those capable diners will choose to invest in the Xu family after seeing the momentum of Xujiabao. And this may be the real reason why grandpa is reluctant to attract diners.
He Yiming looked up for a while, and finally walked towards the castle gate.
As soon as he came to the castle gate, he was immediately pulled down by a person. The man was in his thirties, dressed in a long robe, and was distinctly different from the burghers who had come in and out. He hugged his fists at He Yiming and said with a smile on his face: "Brother looks very raw, I don't know what to do in Xujiabao." ”
He Yiming returned the salute and said with a reluctant smile: "In Xia Xiaoqin, a native of Taichong County, I heard that Xujiabao is famous, so I want to come here to take refuge and eat a bowl of rice." ”
He said it very simply, and in a few words, he explained his origin and meaning clearly.
There was not the slightest surprise on the man's face, as if he had known about this for a long time, and said: "I see, the contemptible Xu Yuchang is one of the stewards of the outer fort, please come with me." ”
With that, he turned and left.
He Yiming hesitated slightly, and then followed. Since there is a word Yuyu in this person's name, it is clearly the same generation as Xu Yucai and others. But seeing that his grade is over thirty, his own cultivation is only five layers or higher, and he is only one of the stewards of the outer fort.
No matter from which point of view, this person's status in the Xu family will not be very high.
This made He Yiming feel emotional again.
The Xu family is really prosperous, and the three generations of Hejiazhuang's children add up to less than ten, and none of them have reached the age of thirty.
Entering the castle, the first thing He Yiming saw was patches of cultivated farmland. He was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood why this castle would occupy such a large area. It turned out that the fort also had its own arable land, although it may not be able to meet everyone's food rations.
But in the event of a war, as long as the castle gate is closed, then it can hold out for a long time without asking for help.
From this point of view, the ancestors of the Cheng family can be regarded as exhausted for the foundation of the family.
In the middle of the farmland is an avenue that can accommodate eight horses in parallel, and through this avenue, it is a continuous residential area.
Xu Yuchang took He Yiming to a wide courtyard and said, "Brother Xiao, welcome to our Xujiabao, but we have another rule for Xujiabao to recruit diners, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”
He Yiming nodded slowly and said, "Before coming here, the junior brother had already inquired that the diners of Xujiabao need at least three layers of internal strength. ”
When he said this, He Yiming also sighed in his heart.
In Hejiazhuang, although those villagers were also cultivated by Old Man He from scratch, among them, the highest internal strength was only three layers, and most of them were below three layers.
In Xujiabao, even the worst diners need at least three layers of internal strength, and the gap is really too big.
Xu Yuchang smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, the Xu family's diners are at least three layers of internal strength." However, if Brother Xiao's internal strength can reach the fifth layer, then he is qualified to enter the Xujia Inner Fort to serve. If you have made a contribution in the fort, you can even enter the library and learn the combat techniques in the fort. ”
He Yiming nodded heavily, his eyes seemed to reveal a strange burning aura, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Xu Yuchang looked at the other party calmly, there were many wandering cultivators he received, most of them could not meet the requirements of the third layer of internal strength, even if they barely reached it, their own strength was only ordinary.
However, this is also very normal, how could a cultivator who really has the ability come to the remote Taicang County. Most of the people who were able to come here willingly were cultivators who were older and had achieved nothing, and they came with the mentality of eating and waiting for death.
Of course, there were also some cultivators from the fourth or fifth level of internal strength who came, but their purpose was the Xu family's library pavilion. It's just that they don't know that unless they are truly accepted by the family, the part that is revealed in the library pavilion is just the most ordinary combat techniques.
He Yiming took a deep breath, took a few steps back, hugged his fist towards Xu Yuchang, and then made a mistake with both palms and began to practice boxing.
What he is using is the water system combat technique.
This set of combat techniques is widely spread among all cultivators, as long as they are cultivators who practice the strength exercises within the water system, then there is a good chance that they will have a few tricks of Mianzhang Kung Fu.
When He Yiming unleashed his palm, Xu Yuchang's brows furrowed slightly. In his heart, the evaluation of the man in front of him was suddenly much lower.
However, after a moment, his eyes lit up, and with a little surprise, the original contempt was swept away.
Although He Yiming cultivated his internal strength to suppress it above the fourth layer, the palm he exerted was by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Even if it is just the most basic routine in the palm of the hand, it still has a feeling of endless, as if it is endless.
In Xu Yuchang's heart, there was a sudden sense of amazement.
With his strength and status in Xujiabao, he really can't get in touch with people and things that are too high, but he grew up in the castle since he was a child, and under what he heard and saw, he can still distinguish the good and bad of combat techniques.
After seeing He Yiming's flowing palm, he had already made a self-righteous judgment in his heart.
This person's internal strength cultivation may not be very high, but he is a veteran with rich combat experience, and he has a certain understanding of the combat technique of Mianzhang, at least, he has mastered the fist intent of this combat technique.
And this is something that many cultivators cannot realize in their lifetime.
Such a person can already be regarded as a talent in Taicang County.
With a stick of incense, He Yiming had finished the first routine of Mianzhang, he closed his palm and stood up, looking at Xu Yuchang quietly.
To be honest, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, because he didn't know what the specific standard was, so when he used his palm, he deliberately took out a bit of real kung fu.
Xu Yuchang nodded slightly, stretched out a palm, and said, "Brother Xiao, please." ”
He Yiming was completely speechless for a moment, it turned out that this person watched for a while on the side, and he couldn't even tell that he was exerting the fourth layer of internal strength.
But this can't be blamed on him, in fact, it is not a simple thing to be able to see the strength of the opponent through a set of boxing exercises. This requires not only great vision and strength, but also a lot of experience.
Xiang He Yiming was in Xujia Town, and after hearing the old man's voice, he deduced that his internal strength cultivation was definitely a very rare case, and it could not be popularized to everyone at all.
Pingping stretched out his palm, He Yiming and him mobilized their internal strength at the same time, and the internal strength of both sides was closed at the touch of a button.
A smile appeared on Xu Yuchang's face, and he said, "Brother Xiao, congratulations, your internal strength has been cultivated at four levels, and the use of Mianzhang has also reached an extremely high level, which has fully met the standards of the Xu family's diners." ”
He Yiming smiled with relief, his expression fell into the other party's eyes, and he became more and more free of any doubt.
The next thing is much simpler, since it has been approved by Xu Yuchang, you can get a house of about 20 square meters in the outer fort to live, three meals a day can be solved in a fixed place, and there is a tael of silver every month, this treatment is already considered top in Taicang County.
After Xu Yuchang determined his strength, he inquired about He Yiming's "hometown".
Of course, He Yiming understood his intentions, and reported a place name in Taichong County, with the strength of Xujiabao, it would take at least a month to find out if there was a person like Xiao Qin.
However, by that time, He Yiming estimated that he had already left.
