The martial arts arena of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is about eighty zhang longitudinal and horizontal - there is already a large area of the Hou's Mansion on the outside, surrounded by a low wall, and the ground is paved with gray and white fine sand, Yi Saburo planed it with his toes, and found that the sand was far heavier than ordinary gravel, and he did not test the thickness of the fine sand.

There were several arrow targets erected on the east side of the martial arts arena, and several blue-black objects that looked like stone locks were scattered, and two men in short shirts, waists, and sleeves were fiddling like jugglers. The west side is the entrance, and on both sides of the entrance is the long pavilion, in the long pavilion there are teapots and teacups on several stone tables, and on several rows of weapon racks, all kinds of cold weapons are lined up, but I didn't see Lian Ah Si's kind of crossbow gun like an electromagnetic gun. There is a wooden stake densely erected in the south of the martial arts arena, and there is a large net made of hemp rope hanging not far from the wooden pile forest. On the north side of the arena is a low, narrow thatched hut with wooden frames, and almost every thatched shed has a person sitting cross-legged.

Mo Liu said a few words to the sturdy guard named Chengcai, thought for a moment and then looked back in the direction of the main hall, his lips opened and closed, as if he had said something, but he didn't hear a sound.

Cheng Cai immediately greeted everyone on the martial arts arena, and soon more than twenty guards gathered in front of the long pavilion, Mo Liu let go of the hand holding San Lang, and his original soft expression disappeared, replaced by a rather wooden face.

"Ten days ago, an unknown force attacked the carriage traveling in Fuchu. The guards of the Hou Mansion with high hopes in the period of Zhongming did not even stand up in the basic protective formation, and fought purely on their own, and in the end everyone was injured, and Song Shentong almost died on the spot, which put the owner in danger. You and others usually boast of being good hands, and they are hired by Hou Furong to provide for them, and they have to be awarded rare formation martial arts, but your performance is not satisfactory! ”

Mo Liu's tone was the same as his face, Mu Ran did not fluctuate, and the guards looked at each other and were silent.

Originally waiting for Mo Liu to continue the arrangement, Yi Saburo subconsciously looked back at his side, only to see that Liu Quan had appeared beside him at some point, and saw Saburo looking back and nodding slightly.

Yi Saburo recalled that two minutes ago, Mo Liu turned his head and moved his lips in the direction of the main hall without making a sound, is this a sound transmission?

"Ji Chengcai," Mo Liu looked at the sturdy guard who had gathered everyone before, "Immediately organize two people from the day after tomorrow and six people from different genres to perform martial arts, I want to test the qualifications of Jiaoer and other martial arts!" ”

Ji Chengcai took half a step forward, hugged his fists and said, "Only!" ”

Then he turned his head to look at the guards, and after thinking for a while, he took a roll call and eight people came out of the ranks.

Ji Chengcai clasped his fists and saluted Yi Sanlang, Mo Liu and Liu Quan: "Xiao Langjun, Mr. Mo, Changshi, the person has been selected, I don't know how to test?" ”

Mo Liu slightly lowered his head and looked at the curious San Lang beside him, but San Lang was completely unaware, only staring at everyone's weapons, and saw that the few people who were competing on the wooden stake and the giant net were all wooden weapons in their hands. looked at Liu Quan again, only to see that Liu Quan was silent and only slightly bowed to himself.

Mo Liu raised his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Two people in the same realm are fighting, and the time limit is five minutes, and the winner will be awarded one month." ”

Liu Quan beckoned behind him, a servant walked in with a tray, Liu Quan opened the brocade cloth covered on the tray, and saw a stack of banknote-like money, a few stacks of silver steel hammers or silver dollar-style coins were exuding an inexplicable alluring brilliance in the sun.

Yi Saburo stretched his neck and didn't see what was in the tray, and the servant saw that he was curious and lowered the tray. Yi Saburo carefully looked at the coins that he had never seen, and simply reached out and picked up a banknote and a silver dollar to observe. He had only seen two copper-yellow copper coins in Qing He's hands.

Of the two copper coins, the larger one is slightly smaller than the silver dollar-style coin in the tray at the moment, and the small one is about the same size as the five-cent coins issued by Huaxia. According to Qinghe, the kind of small copper coin is the smallest unit of money, one is a text, one side is written "Xia Jing Tongbao", the other side of the square hole is written on the left and right of the ancient Xia style of "one" and "Wen", the square hole above is the phoenix bird of Jingguo, and the number of the year of casting and issuance is written in smaller characters below the square hole. There is more grain ear texture on the edge of the larger copper coin, and the word "one" has been changed to the "pick" of the ancient Xia style (ps. One and the pick are just for the distinction of the text, the ancient Xia characters, let's bring in the ancient traditional or capitalized Chinese numbers. This kind of larger copper coin has a face value of ten wen.

And this silver-white steel hammer style coin should be the silver coin that Qinghe said, also called silver dollar, and usually omit the unit directly, such as 100 silver dollars directly called 100 coins, 10,000 silver dollars directly called 10,000 coins. One silver dollar is equivalent to one hundred pennies. There is no square hole in the middle of the silver dollar, one side of "Xia Jingtongbao", the middle of the word is the logo pattern of the Jingguo treasury, the other side of the pattern is different from the copper coin, the whole phoenix bird pattern is larger, almost occupying nearly half of the silver dollar, and it is also more complicated and gorgeous, the word "one" representing the face value has been changed in the middle, there is no word representing the unit, and there are more sexagenary branches on the upper side of the casting year. The edge of the silver dollar is based on the grain grain grain, and a pattern like a twig-like twig.

The pattern on the banknote is much more complicated, of course, the pattern is more realistic, on the one hand, the mountains and rivers, the birds, the fish, the beasts and insects, on the other hand, there are inexplicable buildings and machinery, of course, there is also a phoenix bird pattern. Both sides have the year of issue and the face value, and there are some words that I don't recognize. Yi Saburo can only recognize the word "Xia Jing", the word "pick" representing the face value and the number representing the year of issuance, after all, these words have been seen and asked Qinghe on the copper coin, and he can also guess that the words below the year number should represent the sexagenary branch. As for the other long strings of words, he can only guess that it is Jingguo's "xxx bank...... The face value of this banknote is estimated to be ten silver dollars or ten coins.

Banknotes have appeared! I don't know if there is a larger face value, I guess there is! And look at the fine and high-end texture is almost not under the banknotes of the previous life. The most outrageous thing is the unknown mechanical pattern on it, which represents a certain degree of maturity of the industry! This world is amazing......

Yi Saburo's side was curiously observing the coin. Over there, the two late martial artists selected by Ji Chengcai had already put on white clothes, each holding a pitch-black wooden weapon, and walked to the center of the martial arts arena, confronting each other.

At this time, Mo Liu instructed the servant to take out a chair from the long pavilion and sit down for San Lang, raising his finger to the two people in front of him.

only listened to Ji Chengcai's order, and the two suddenly showed a duel between martial arts masters who were more in line with Yi Saburo's inherent impression.

This is a model that is closer to Saburo's fight scenes in various martial arts movies and kung fu movies that he has seen, combined with some fantasies and imaginations to form a vague concept.

Swords come and go, fists and feet are staggered, take-off and dodge, moves are dismantled quickly and gorgeously, and the change of offense and defense naturally brings gusts of wind.

This battle scene is more exciting than any movie Yi Saburo has ever seen, the action, body style, attack and defense angles, and reaction speed completely exceed the pre-choreographed and designed kung fu routines, and every move and style is completely casual and seems to be just right.

Not long after, in addition to the vital parts of the chest and abdomen, the arms and legs of the white clothes were stained with black marks, which represented injuries from the stroke.

Just when Yi Saburo was dizzying, Mo Liu's voice sounded in his ears.

"The acquired realm is called martial arts entry, which refers to reaching a certain realm. Before entering the country, the practice of martial arts, regardless of the sect, starts with the body itself. When the body grows and develops to a certain extent, the body is strong and flexible through exercise, the body's response is trained, and the body movements should bridge the mind and spiritual consciousness. ”

"The sign of entry is internal strength, internal power is like an electric current is a kind of energy, which is produced by physical exercise, controlled by thought and spiritual consciousness, and can be controlled is internal strength, and what cannot be controlled, or even felt, is just ordinary physical strength, and it is impossible to exert the ability that it should have if it cannot be controlled. Internal power cannot be released externally, but it can be produced through the physical body and contact, and the simplest is to increase the strength and speed. The combat of the acquired realm martial arts is more of a combination of skill moves and physical strength. When the late stage of entry is about to be completed, for commonly known weapons, you can even attach internal strength to them to produce effects, increase the strength of the weapon and enhance the lethality. ”

Yi Saburo has heard that there are more than 600 muscles in the human body, and if these more than 600 muscles work together to contract in the same direction, they can exert more than 20 tons of strength, but people can't control so many muscles to exert force in the same direction. This seems to have something in common with Mo Liu's statement.

Maybe the two of them were too familiar with each other in the field, and they both knew each other's shooting habits, moves and strength, and no one was knocked down until the end of the five-minute time, and they were not hit by the key points and left traces on the white clothes.

After counting the black marks on the white clothes, the winner was rewarded, and Yi Saburo watched Liu Quan count seven banknotes and five silver dollars and hand them to the winner. The acquired martial artist, according to rough estimates, should account for less than three percent of the total population, and he is a guard in the Zhennan Hou Mansion, the top powerful person in the empire, no matter how it is calculated, he should be a high-income group, but his monthly salary is only seventy-five yuan. It seems that the value of this silver dollar is very high, and the currency is very strong.

At the end of the fierce and wonderful fight, Saburo looked down and saw the coin in his hand, the ten-dollar bill was pinched and wrinkled, and he put the ten-dollar back on the servant's tray, but pinched the silver dollar in his hand and played with it.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head to look at the sixth uncle and asked, "I can see that the speed is very fast, but if I run with all my strength, how fast is the speed of the martial artist of the Acquired Realm?" And in terms of strength, they should have deliberately controlled it when they were fighting, how strong can the power of the acquired realm be, how much weight can it bear, and how much power can it be with one punch? What about stamina? ”

Liu Quan was originally brushing his beard, and he had heard that San Lang had been asking this and that when he saw people non-stop these days, he thought that he had untied his self-isolation and awakened his wisdom, which was the time to be curious about the world. It's just that I didn't expect such a series of questions to come out, and it still seems ordinary and common-sense, but after leaving the school, it is true that not many adults will deliberately remember it.
