Su County is one of the ten counties under the jurisdiction of Qing'an Prefecture.

With a population of nearly 400,000, the city is divided into four cities: east, west, north and south, among which the east and south of the city are relatively rich, the west and north of the city are relatively poor, and there are many rural neighbors outside the city.

Liang Jing walked out of the house, bypassed a few streets, and walked towards Shunyi Fang in the south of the city.

"I took advantage of the surprise just now, and with the people coming and going on the street, there was no danger. But I just have a lot of strength, if I run into Liu Si and them again, I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”

Liang Jing was walking while secretly thinking in his heart.

Your own family knows your own affairs. He has only practiced the "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" catalogue a few times, and he has some strength. But if you really fight with a scoundrel like Liu Si, you will never be pleased.

"Liu Si has a beginner's green belt tied around his waist, and he must have some kung fu in his hands, I am just one-on-one with him, and I should not be his opponent."

Liang Jing walked on the road, although his heart was full of thoughts, but his face was calm.

The martial arts style in this world is extremely prosperous, which can be seen from the self-cultivation hall in the county, as well as various privately opened martial arts halls.

The self-cultivation hall in the county is a place set up by the imperial court to teach martial arts, which can basically be compared to the county school, but it is extremely strict. If the disciples of ordinary families practice martial arts, they will basically choose the martial arts hall of a famous martial artist in the county.

In the Great Qianwu Pavilion, there are some general rules, which are also learned from the Self-cultivation Pavilion, and the disciples in the hall are divided into four classes.

Beginners, awarded the green belt, the comment is "the first to use fists and feet, strong physique".

Although Liu Si only got the green belt, he has learned some kung fu and received special training after all, and he is still much better than a layman like Liang Jing.

Liang Jing walked steadily, bypassed a few streets, and walked to the edge of Shunyi Fang.

Shunyi Fang is one of the most prosperous and lively areas in the south of the city, consisting of several streets.

Restaurants, taverns, green buildings, and gambling houses are lined up one after another, and can be seen everywhere. In front of the slightly larger doors, there are porters calling customers to solicit business.

On the street, the horses and incense carts are crowded, and they are constantly flowing in the market.

Liang Jing walked to the door of a small shop, looked at the door number, and then walked in.

As soon as he walked in, someone shouted, "Xiao Jing, this way." ”

Liang Jing followed the call, and a young man was holding out his hand to signal him.

The young man was sturdy, wearing a black suit, with the word "ape" embroidered on his chest, and a cyan belt tied around his waist.

Liang Jing approached, and before he could sit down, the young man spoke impatiently.

"Xiao Jing, your body is better, why have you slowed down for so long today? But what happened? Did you meet Liu Si on the road? ”

Liang Jing looked at the chattering young man in front of him, and couldn't help but show a smile.

This young man is called Liu Ying, which is his predecessor's hair, and the two grew up together, although they are both literate and martial, but they are very speculative and are rare friends.

"It's just a little thing delayed, how are you lately?"

Liu Ying listened to what he said easily, so he put his mind at ease and replied with a smile: "Hey, what can I have anything bad about, I have made some progress in learning boxing recently, and I have got a green belt, which is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." ”

He said that it was not worth mentioning, but his face was excited, and his hand was still rubbing the green belt around his waist, obviously quite complacent.

Liu Ying began to practice martial arts at the age of fourteen, and was sent to the white ape martial arts hall in the county to learn boxing.

Liang Jing naturally noticed the green belt tied around his waist, and also looked closely.

This belt is of average workmanship, not exquisite, just an ordinary cloth belt, dyed cyan. However, this belt is tied to the body of the person who practices martial arts, which means entering the door.

"The first fist and kick, the body is strong." This is the comment set by the "General Essentials of the Great Qianwu Sutra", which is characterized by the self-cultivation hall with a green belt, and it is also known all over the world.

"This is a great event, and you have to be the boss today." Liang Jing smiled at Liu Ying.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Liu Ying's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he agreed.

This small shop is close to the White Ape Martial Arts Museum, and Liu Ying is also a frequent customer in the store, so he made the decision to order. After a while, the runner in the store came up with food.

"Come and try it, the roast chicken in this store is a must, and the brothers in our martial arts hall are all hungry for this."

Liu Ying frequently introduced Liang Jing.

The two of them feasted, so unpleasant.

While eating, Liang Jing chatted with Liu Ying: "You have a green belt now, how long will it take to change to a green belt?" ”

Liu Ying bit a piece of chicken, swallowed it, and was speechless, "It's difficult!" ”

"If I want to get a green belt, I need at least three years of hard work to practice the boxing techniques on the 'Wujing General Essentials' one by one."

Listening to his answer, Liang Jing also secretly smacked his tongue, three years of green belt, three years of green belt, this road to martial arts is really not simpler than liberal arts.

The person who bestows the green belt, the comment of "The General Essentials of the Great Qianwu Sutra" is, "Skillful in fists and feet, strong in qi and blood".

Liang Jing comforted: "But you are only seventeen now, and you will only be twenty in three years, but it is the right time." ”

Liu Ying also nodded yes, "I'm not in a hurry, the age of the patrol department to recruit fast arrest has been relaxed to twenty-two, and in five years, I will definitely be able to get the green belt." ”

Liang Jing also shook his head again and again when he heard this. He knew that this young man had always wanted to practice martial arts and be an errand boy.

Every year the patrol department recruits martial arts masters from the people, and Liu Ying's goal is to enter it and become a poor person who eats official food.

However, there are also rules for recruiting people in the patrol division, that is, the children of the martial arts hall who get the green belt before the age of twenty-two have a chance.

"Second Brother Wang across the street, do you know?"

Liang Jing nodded, what Liu Ying was talking about was a martial arts practitioner across the street, who was rumored to be quite talented, five years older than them.

"Second Brother Wang got a red belt not long ago, and said that he would go to the patrol department to catch the head in a few days." Liu Ying sighed lightly, with some envy in his tone.

The green belt is used to catch fast, and the red belt is used to catch heads.

The rules of the patrol division are as simple as that, if you have the strength, you will be on it. It is no wonder that Liu Ying is envious, the difference between catching heads and catching fast is not half a star.

Liang Jing couldn't help but recall the comment on "The General Essentials of the Great Qianwu Jing" in his mind, "When you enter the room, your skin and flesh are solid."

looked at Liu Ying's face with a little fascination and a little ashamed. Liang Jing snorted lightly: "Get up to practice martial arts on the fifth watch, how can you Liu Erlang not be able to change a red belt?" ”

What Liang Jing said was that when Liu Ying was practicing martial arts at home, he often got up in the fifth watch to temper his body.

Liu Ying was awakened by his words, and also laughed and said: "It's still you, Liang Dalang, who can speak, eat and eat." ”

The two ate for a while, and the topic went around and around before talking about Liang Jing's intention.

Liu Ying didn't smile anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jing, you have thought about it, it will be really difficult to get out after entering that door." ”

"If it's just to deal with that Liu Si, it's the same if you come to our martial arts hall, although you started a little late, but after all, you can come and go freely."

Liang Jing knew his concern, and said with a smile: "Liang is indeed a Taoist person. ”

Seeing that Liu Ying's face was still heavy, Liang Jing also restrained his smile, and replied: "My father and mother have passed away one after another, and I am also seriously ill. ”

Liang Jing remarked, Liu Ying couldn't say anything more, so he said: "I can introduce this person for you, his cousin is the head of Qingheguan, and it is absolutely reliable to find him when he enters the Tao, but this silver ......"

Liang Jing hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, my family still has some savings." ”

"In that case, then you can wait here, he always comes late, and will not appear until the afternoon, as soon as he appears, I will take him to see you, in short, I will let you see you today."

Liu Ying said it neatly, and Liang Jing also thanked him.

The two talked again, and after Liu Ying settled the account, he went back to catch up with the afternoon homework in the martial arts hall, leaving Liang Jing alone to wait in the store.

As noon passed, there were fewer and fewer people in the store, and only Liang Jing sat still.

He was pondering his next plans.

Joining Qingheguan is a decision made by Liang Jing after careful consideration.

When it comes to Qinghe Temple, we have to mention the Daomen of Daqian.

The main road gate is extremely prosperous, and basically there are many Taoist palaces and temples in each prefecture and county.

In Daqian, the Taoist priest is also an excellent profession, in charge of the Zhai Jiao ceremony, not only the official to hold various ceremonies, but also in and out of the upper class, but also many dignitaries and dignitaries.

It's just that it's extremely difficult to become a Taoist priest with a degree.

The imperial court set up a department to be in charge of arranging the affairs of various provinces. If you want to become a registered Taoist priest, you need to be recommended by a local Taoist official first, and then go to the capital to take the Taoist examination before you can be awarded the degree and become an officially recognized Taoist priest.

The rarity of Taoist priests can be seen.

The local Taoist temple in Su County is headed by the Qinghe Temple. These Taoist temples are connected to the dignitaries of the government and the local wealthy families, so they can be said to be the first-class forces in Su County.

Liang Jing wanted to devote himself to the Taoist temple, in addition to using the power of the Taoist temple to protect himself, he also had the intention of cultivating the Tao.

Because the "Thirty-six Changes of Tiangang" in his mind is the Taoist method, he wants to explore the mysteries, and he has to deal with the Taoist gate.

Therefore, Qingheguan has become his best choice at present.

Enter the door, enter to communicate with fellow Taoists, and retreat to concentrate on ancient scriptures.

Between the turns of his mind, time flies, and people in the small shop come and go, only Xiao Er comes over from time to time to add some tea.

At dusk, the sun is getting late. Liu Ying finally walked in with a young man who was not good-looking.

This man was obese, a little hunched over, and the belt around his waist was colorless.

"Xiao Jing, this is Brother Shen Yuanshen." Liu Ying introduced Liang Jing.

Liang Jing stood up and bowed, "I've seen Brother Shen!" ”

Shen Yuan squinted at him, didn't return the salute, and sat down straight, "Are you going to be a Taoist priest?" ”

Liu Ying smiled apologetically at Liang Jing.

Liang Jing was naturally not annoyed, and sat down and asked, "It's here, I don't know what kind of charter Brother Shen is here?" ”

Shen Yuan poured himself a cup of tea, "Prepare twenty taels for Guanli, and I'll smoke one tael." ”

"When I entered the view, I did things honestly after arranging work, taking two days off every month, and then pondering for three years. Don't shout that you have a way, it's embarrassing. ”

He was expressionless and spoke very quickly. He had apparently said this he had said it I don't know how many times.

Liang Jing waited for him to finish talking before he asked, "Don't hide it from Brother Shen, what I want to ask about is actually the charter of the 'Lay Scholar'." ”

Shen Yuan listened to his reply, choked directly on a sip of tea in his throat, and coughed several times before calming down.

"You guys work together to entertain the master!"
