In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Jian returned to Lishui County with Xiang Sheng.

Wanfu Yizhuang is in Jiuli Path, 'Path' is the meaning of the road, and Jiuli Trail is the roadside that is nine miles away from Lishui County.

Lishui County was founded in the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. There are more than 50,000 households in the county, nearly 300,000 people. The county seat is located on the north bank of Lishui.

Xiang Sheng and Shi Jian crossed the wooden bridge and entered the city from the south gate.

The east, west, south and north gates were all built in the Ming Dynasty during the Longqing period, the north gate has been damaged, although the south gate has been repaired over the years, it still looks mottled, dilapidated, full of the breath of the years.

After entering the city, Shi Jian was disappointed by the appearance of the city. Not to mention the comparison with the county towns of later generations, even some of the poorer counties in the east of the same era are not comparable.

The street is no more than four meters wide, and the floor is paved with bluestone slabs. On both sides, there are almost all wood-paneled shophouses, low and old. Brick and timber houses are rare, and they are either county government offices or deep mansions of wealthy squires.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, both men and women, all wearing similar full cardigans and large crotch trousers, and women's clothes are more showy, with lace on the cuffs, trouser legs, and corners.

The long braids and the pair of small 'three-inch golden lotus' instantly reminded Shi Jian of the era he lived in, and I was not dead in the Qing Dynasty.

In the middle of the street, Xiang Sheng bought a few rice cakes and handed them to Shi Jian, and said with a smile: "Our rice cakes in the water are famous far and wide, and you can taste them if they are appetizing." ”

Looking at Xiang Sheng's earnest eyes and kind face, Shi Jian suddenly remembered the scene when his master took him down the mountain and bought snacks for himself on the street when he was a child, and his heart warmed for a while.

I picked up a piece of rice cake and stuffed it into my mouth, and before I could taste the taste, I said, "It's delicious!" ”

"Sweet?"

Shi Jian puffed out his cheeks and replied: "Sweet! ”

"Haha." Xiang Sheng laughed heartily and led Shi Jian to continue walking, "In addition to rice cakes, the slices of sugar squeezed by the soil method are also a must. ”

As he spoke, he stopped to buy a piece of candy again, looking like he was eager to buy all the snacks for Shi Jian.

"Master Xiang, enough is enough, I can't eat too much if I buy more. Buy after eating. ”

Xiang Sheng stopped at this time, and introduced Shi Jian to the streets in the county as he walked. The county seat is not big, and after a while, the two of them will arrive at the destination, Xiang Sheng's home.

Compared with Wanfu Yizhuang and ninety percent of the houses in the city, Xiang Sheng's family can be called a 'mansion'.

The wall is based on blue strip stone, and the wind and fire wall is built with blue bricks. The entrance is a courtyard, the yard is very large, and it is no problem to build a wing room on both sides. In the middle is a 'four seals and three rooms' composed of bricks, wood and black tiles, and three brick houses.

Xiang Sheng took Shi Jian to the bedroom on the right, and found that there was a hole in it, which was actually a 'suite' in one and two rooms, called a 'single room'.

"That's why there are a lot of empty houses!" Shi Jian thought secretly.

"Son, from now on, you will live in this room, and the quilt will be covered in a cupboard, and it will be cleaned. If there is anything missing, tell me and buy it on the street later. ”

"Okay, Master Xiang."

"You clean up by yourself, I'll call you for dinner."

"Hmm."

Those who do the business of dead people are quite rich, Xiang Sheng never cooks at home, every day in the restaurant, the pots and pans in the kitchen are an inch thick of ash.

Meimei slept all night, and the next morning Shi Jian got up early to practice.

Xiang Sheng was a few minutes behind him, wearing a coat on his body, and stood at the door watching Shi Jian practice the Twelve Guidance Techniques.

Without warning, Xiang Sheng suddenly threw off his coat, shouted loudly, and pounced on Shi Jian.

Shi Jian has practiced martial arts for ten years, and has maintained twenty-four methods all year round, his reaction, speed, and feeling are all in the best condition, and the back of his head is like having eyes, and he can easily resolve Xiang Sheng's sneak attack.

"Good!"

One move tested Shi Jian's kung fu, Xiang Sheng no longer had any scruples and showed mercy, and made a move with all his might.

Shi Jian has practiced Xingyi Boxing, Tai Chi Boxing, Bagua Boxing, as the saying goes, 'Tai Chi Rape, Bagua Slippery, the most poisonous but the mind', even if you don't use Maoshan's Seven Star Steps, with the flexible body of Bagua Zhang, Shi Jian also has the confidence to whirl around, as for the offense, the old man is old, and he can't end up playing a good job.

After fighting, Shi Jian realized that something was wrong.

Xiang Sheng's kung fu is very strange, the movements are stiff, wide open and close, full of flaws, there is no defense, it is completely an offensive move, this kind of lifeless play is hidden mystery, it actually makes Shi Jian feel like he can't find a chance to fight back, and he is gradually forced into a corner.

Xiang Sheng laughed proudly, "Yan'er, there is a wall behind you, and you have no way out." ”

"Master Xiang, you're too happy."

Shi Jian's face remained unchanged, and he suddenly raised his breath and jumped more than a meter high, and actually jumped directly from the top of Xiang Sheng's head.

"Good kung fu!" Xiang Sheng's eyes lit up and he cheered loudly.

Shi Jian's face was not red, he was not panting, and complimented: "Master Xiang's kung fu is amazing, and I have no power to fight back!" ”

Xiang Sheng pointed at Shi Jian and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you have too many ghost eyes. You are younger than me, physically stronger than me, faster than me, stronger than me, and better than me in kung fu, if you hadn't let me, plus my set of boxing techniques is ancient and weird, you would have defeated me in a few moves. ”

Shi Jian smiled, didn't answer, but asked with great interest: "Master Xiang, what is the name of your boxing method just now?" ”

Xiang Sheng asked rhetorically: "What do you think it's called?" ”

"Zombie Punch."

The movements are stiff, bouncing, arms stiff, poking, sweeping, pressing, teasing, all zombie signature moves. When he fought with Xiang Sheng just now, he had a feeling that he was not facing a person, but a zombie.

"That's right." Xiang Sheng laughed: "My boxing method is called Maoshan Zombie Boxing." ”

Shi Jian was puzzled: "Maoshan Zombie Fist? Something to do with our Maoshan Mountain? No, Maoshan doesn't have this kind of boxing. ”

Xiang Sheng coughed dryly: "Zombie boxing is a fist created by a Maoshan Taoist imitating zombies, what is it called if it is not called Maoshan Zombie Fist?" The name doesn't matter, you don't want to learn? ”

"Such an interesting boxing technique, I must want to learn it."

"Okay, I'll teach you." Xiang Sheng threw off his arms and explained while rehearsing: "You have a good foundation, high kung fu, and you are smart, so it is easy to learn." Maoshan Zombie Boxing has a total of fourteen moves: Zombie Resurrection, Zombie Moon Worship, Zombie Foot Lifting, Zombie Turning Back, Zombie Out of the Hole, Zombie Crossing the Mountain, Zombie Restoration, Zombie Chasing Clouds, Zombie Looking Mirror, Zombie Looking at the Moon, Zombie Tumbling, Zombie Closing the Door, Zombie Entering the Coffin, Big Loop ......"

One earnestly teaches and the other learns sincerely, and he can't feel the passage of time at all, until the stomachs of the two of them are rumbling at the same time, and they stop unsatisfied, go out for breakfast together, and pay tribute to the Five Organs Temple.

After breakfast, Xiang Sheng took Shi Jian out of the city and came to the Ping'an Hall outside the east gate, preparing to teach Shi Jian the art of chasing corpses from today, and Maoshan Zombie Boxing was one of them.

Just as he was about to step into the door, Xiang Sheng suddenly asked, "You'er, are you afraid of dead corpses?" ”

Shi Jian said calmly: "Master Xiang, I went down the mountain with my master to hunt ghosts and zombies when I was twelve years old, and dead corpses are not uncommon. ”

"That's good, you can't be afraid of dead corpses when you learn corpse expulsion, and if you are afraid, you can't learn well. According to the practice of Mr. Footwalker in the past, you are not suitable to be Mr. Footwalker. ”

"Why?"

Xiang Sheng glanced Shi Jian up and down, and gave a speechless reason, "You are too good-looking." ”

Is there anything wrong with being good-looking?
