Compared with seventeen years ago, Qiantang County is still the same, and nothing has changed.

The only change is that children have grown into teenagers, young people have become middle-aged, and most of the elderly have died.

The county seat is still that county seat.

The people in the city have been replaced by two percent.

Time is the most ruthless rule of nature.

Since birth, people have been moving towards death step by step.

Chen Kang returned to Qiantang County and returned to the courtyard where he lived.

"Squeak."

Chen Kang pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

It was overgrown with weeds, and the dust in the room was an inch thick.

"It's back again."

Chen Kang said secretly: "I don't know what happened to Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing?" ”

Chen Kang was in the county town and did not perceive the breath of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

Apparently they are no longer in the city.

After 17 years of studying abroad, Chen Kang's harvest is still quite big.

However, Chen Kang also paid a great price in order to learn advanced martial arts skills.

Those cultivators are really too xenophobic. It was difficult to get some useful information from those cultivators.

The Xiuzhen Sect is divided into miscellaneous disciples, outer disciples, inner disciples, elite disciples, core disciples, sect elders, heads, and Taishang elders......

In short, there is a strict hierarchy in each Xiuzhen sect. Even if Chen Kang has the ability, he can't hope to get more information in it.

If you want to collect the cultivation exercises, in addition to trading, then the only way to do it is to kill people and sell goods.

Chen Kang wanted to trade with those cultivators.

It's a pity that those cultivators, who are high up and have prejudices against ordinary martial arts, don't look down on Chen Kang.

Chen Kang exchanged his alchemy and breathing methods for cultivating true exercises? That's unrealistic.

Without a backer and a perfect teacher, it is very difficult to participate in enlightenment and practice on your own.

Chen Kang is a casual cultivator.

No, Chen Kang is not even a casual cultivator in the True Realm. He was just a mortal martial artist, with no mana and no true qi.

Chen Kang's cultivation path is really difficult to follow.

No matter how difficult it is, Chen Kang can't give up.

Three years ago, Chen Kang traveled to the capital and happened to learn that a "land immortal" was going to preach.

Chen Kang spent a huge price to get a place to listen to the sermon.

At that time, Chen Kang's harvest was very huge.

It was precisely because of this hearing that Chen Kang finally completed the upgrade of the fetal breath method.

Unfortunately, although the upgrade was successful, it was not perfect, and there were still many technical defects.

If you want to make up for the shortcomings of the fetal breath method after the upgrade, it is impossible to do it with Chen's current knowledge reserves.

After the fetal breath method technology is upgraded, Chen Kang can reduce the consumption of body functions to a smaller extent when he is resting.

This kind of fetal breathing technology is no longer to put people into an ordinary dormant state, but to be in a state of death rather than death.

It was a very magical state.

Chen Kang often maintains this state of death but not death, which can reduce the loss of life force, which is to extend his life in disguise.

Chen Kang's ultimate lifespan can reach 380 years.

In fact, according to Chen Kang's estimation, he can extend his life expectancy to 500 years old by deducing the perfect fetal breath technique.

Obviously, Chen Kang's fetal breath technique failed to meet expectations.

Chen Kang said secretly: "You can't be impatient. To perfect the fetal breath technique, you need to calm down. It's a pity that there are no big results in alchemy. ”

Lei Yin Alchemy Chen Kang continued to deduce, but unfortunately his knowledge reserve was not enough, so he could only continue to make optimizations.

After the optimization, the alchemy still failed to break the limit of physical fitness.

Chen Kang's current basic strength is still 400,000 catties.

The power technique, Chen Kang has studied more profoundly.

Chen Kang has deduced the power technique to a tenfold superposition.

Ten times more power skills!

With the basic strength of 400,000 catties, Chen Kang can hit four million catties of divine power.

You don't need mana, you don't need true qi, and you don't need magic weapons. Relying on ordinary boxing skills, Chen Kang easily crushed the former Wu Gongzi and Wang Daoling.

I just don't know, have Wu Gongzi and Wang Daoling's injuries healed? Have you improved your skills?

Chen Kang could feel that the tenfold force technique was almost the limit of what his body could bear.

At most, maybe the body can withstand eleven times the force technique, but that is too reluctant, and the body may collapse at any time.

"Life expectancy was extended to three hundred and eighty years. Performed a tenfold power technique. It is the result of my 17 years of study tours. It's a pity that the Lei Yin Alchemy Technique has no results. ”

The "land immortal" who preached was a qi practitioner, who was good at practicing qi and mana use. In terms of body refining, he is really ordinary, and he is not even as good as Chen Kang.

Chen Kang learned a lot of breathing skills from him, which he integrated into his own breathing method.

But the alchemy technique is not learned at all.

Chen Kang's speed and strength finally made it possible to save his life in front of the land immortals.

At least, when he met the old monk Fahai again, Chen Kang didn't have to be as afraid as last time.

Being able to escape in front of the old monk Fahai is also a kind of ability.

However, Chen Kang still felt that he was too weak.

Fast and able to escape, although it is a kind of ability, but it is not a strong person.

The real strong, why run away?

Only the weak will flee for their lives.

was able to escape and be fast, but he just made a reasonable excuse for his weakness.

……

Xu Jiaorong took Xu Shilin shopping, passed by the alley, and saw that the gate of Chen Kang's courtyard was open.

Xu Jiaorong stopped.

Xu Shilin said: "Auntie, what are you looking at? ”

Xu Jiaorong said: "An old man. He has been away from Qiantang County for 17 years, and the gate of the courtyard has never been opened. Could it be that he's back? ”

Xu Shilin was curious.

Auntie's deceased, who?

Xu Jiaorong said: "Shilin, let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

Xu Jiaorong and Xu Shilin walked into the courtyard and saw Chen Kang cleaning.

"Chen Kang?" Xu Jiaorong was pleasantly surprised, "It's really you!" ”

Compared with seventeen years ago, Chen Kang's appearance has not changed, and he is still so young, like a young man.

But Xu Jiaorong is a lot older. Not only was her body a little fatter, her face wrinkled, but she also had some gray hair on her head.

Xu Jiaorong is just an ordinary woman after all, she is almost fifty years old, and it is normal for her to be older.

Chen Kang put down the broom and said with a smile, "Mrs. Li." You may be seated. I just came back, and there was no hot water in the house, so I couldn't make tea if I wanted to. ”

Xu Jiaorong sat on a stool and chatted with Chen Kang.

As she spoke, there were tears in Xu Jiaorong's eyes.

In the second year after Chen Kang left Qiantang County, Bai Suzhen gave birth to Xu Shilin.

Li Gongfu Xu Jiaorong gave Xu Xian's pharmacy "Baohetang".

Cure the disease and save people, and the child is not bullied.

Coupled with Bai Suzhen's assistance, Xu Xian's medical skills improved rapidly.

The existence of Baohetang seriously affected the business of other medical centers and pharmacies in the county, and Xu Xian was excluded and framed.

Fahai is looking for trouble again.

Bai Suzhen was suppressed by Fahai and imprisoned in Leifeng Tower.

Xiaoqing left Qiantang County to visit a famous teacher and learn art, hoping to rescue her sister one day.

Xu Xian was riddled with lawsuits, and Baohetang went bankrupt.

Although Li Gongfu is a head catcher, he has no right to speak in front of the real official master.

Li Gongfu wanted to save Xu Xian, but he couldn't do it at all.

Xu Xian sat in prison for more than a year, and was disheartened, so he went to Jinshan Temple to become a monk and clean the Lei Feng Pagoda every day. You can get closer to the White Lady.

Chen Kang sighed and said, "I didn't expect so many things to happen after I left. This child is the son of Hanwen and the White Lady? ”

Chen Kang glanced at Xu Shilin.

Xu Jiaorong pulled Xu Shilin down and said, "He is the son of Hanwen, called Xu Shilin." Over the years, I have always raised Shilin as my own son. ”

Xu Shilin looked at Chen Kang.

Chen Kang is a teenager, younger than himself, how can he know his father? Listening to his tone, it seems that he has a good relationship with his father.

Chen Kang said: "His aunt hasn't come back all these years? ”

Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen are sisters, and according to the kinship, Xu Shilin should call Xiaoqing an aunt.

Xu Jiaorong shook her head and said, "No." After the little young girl left, there was no more news. ”

Chen Kang understood Xiaoqing's thoughts.

Xiaoqing is close to Bai Suzhen, but the relationship with the Xu family is very ordinary.

Bai Suzhen is not in the Xu family, and Xiaoqing's relationship with the Xu family is naturally even more indifferent.

Xu Jiaorong said: "Chen Kang, Shi Lin has been smart since he was a child, he studied in the school, but the master often praised him, saying that he had the best qualifications. Four books and five classics, Shi Lin has finished reading, and he was admitted to Xiucai last year. I'm going to send Shilin to you and learn martial arts from you. ”

Studying, you can gain fame, you can seek glory and wealth.

Only by learning martial arts can you not be bullied.

Xu Shilin is known as the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and he is very good at reading, but he is often bullied by some students in the school.

At the beginning, Bai Suzhen and Fahai fought, and Xu Jiaorong could see it.

If Bai Suzhen had won the old monk Fahai, maybe her younger brother's family would not have been ruined and his wife would have been separated.

But Bai Suzhen's skills are not as good as others, and he lost in the end.

In the past, Xu Jiaorong also looked down on martial arts, felt that vulgar people fought and killed, and even more disliked her husband Li Gongfu practicing swords at home.

But now she hopes that Xu Shilin will learn advanced martial arts. Not to mention rescuing his mother, but at least he has the ability to protect himself.

Xu Shilin said: "Auntie, I don't want to learn martial arts. Scholars are based on cultivating virtue. It is the right thing to gain fame and be an official, and to glorify your ancestors. Learning martial arts is insulting. ”

Xu Jiaorong scolded: "Nonsense. Learning martial arts, how can it be insulting? ”

Xu Shilin said: "It's said in the book. The Master also said it. I think it makes a lot of sense. ”

Xu Jiaorong also wanted to continue to scold Xu Shilin.

Chen Kang stopped her, looked at Xu Shilin and said, "Which book says that learning martial arts is insulting?" ”

Xu Shilin couldn't remember which book said this for a while.

However, Xu Shilin refused to admit defeat: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high." ”

Chen Kang shook his head secretly. Xu Shilin, this kid, was brainwashed by Confucianism.

I have to say that some of the words in the Confucian classics are very confusing.

Confucianism does not study the skills of improving people's livelihood, but studies human feelings for thousands of years, and engages in monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons all day long.

In the Confucian classics, the real essence may only be one percent. Ninety percent of the rest is dross.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high?

That's true. If you read, you can be an official. As an official, you can naturally be high.

It's just that these Confucian theories are worthless in the face of real technology.

Confucianism also slanders technology, looks down on technology, and says that technology is strange and ingenious.

Chen Kang stood up and walked in front of Xu Shilin.

Syllable.

Chen Kang gave Xu Shilin a slap in the face.

Xu Jiaorong was surprised: "Chen Kang...... How do you suddenly do it? ”

Chen Kang said: "Mrs. Li, don't worry about this matter. Since you want to send Xu Shilin to me to learn martial arts, then I will teach him what martial arts are. ”

Xu Shilin covered his face and said, "You...... You, vulgar. Insulting Sven. ”

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm rude." ”

Syllable.

Chen Kang slapped Xu Shilin in the face again.

Chen Kang's control of strength is very measured, and he will not hurt Xu Shilin, but he can also hurt Xu Shilin.

With tears in his eyes, Xu Shilin said angrily: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth. ”

Chen Kang sneered: "I'm not a gentleman. ”

Syllable.

Chen Kang slapped Xu Shilin for the third time.

"Xu Shilin, you are a scholar. What you are learning is the Four Books and Five Classics, the Way of a Gentleman. Chen Kang said, "Now, I am rude, I am a barbarian who does not understand etiquette, righteousness and shame." I'm just going to hit you. What can you do but be angry? ”

Chen Kang slapped Xu Shilin twice more and kicked him twice.

Xu Shilin was kicked to the ground.

Xu Jiaorong looked distressed, but did not say anything to stop it.

She may have guessed Chen Kang's intentions in doing this.

Xu Shilin cried.

Xu Shilin squatted on the ground, touching his tears, and cried: "Chen Kang, you beat me for no reason, it was not a gentleman's doing. I've never seen a villain as rude as you. Relying on your martial arts, you oppress the weak...... I'm going to the county government to sue you. ”

Chen Kang sneered: "With my ability, the county government is not qualified to take care of me. Unless you can invite the land immortals of the Imperial Court Demon Division. That old master in the academy taught you these things? The mouth of a scholar is no harder than a knife or a fist. Don't read the Four Books and the Five Classics anymore, go back and read the history books, think about the change of dynasties, think about every war, whether it is the use of force, or your 'gentleman's way' is useful. ”

Xu Shilin looked stubborn and unconvinced.

Chen Kang said again: "Xu Shilin, your aunt said that you are very good at reading. At least ten times stronger than your father Xu Hanwen. Your Master praises you for being a champion. You are already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. In a few days, I will take you to Jinshan Temple to meet Master Fahai. It's up to you to convince Fahai to have mercy on your mother. ”

Xu Shilin snorted coldly, stood up, and said, "Convince people with reason." I believe that there are many people who are reasonable in this world. Not everyone is as vulgar as Chen Kang. I will definitely be able to convince Master Fahai to rescue my mother. ”

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Okay." Ambitious. Xu Shilin, if you can really convince the old monk Fahai to let him let your mother go, it means that my martial arts are lost to your gentleman's way. I will abolish this martial art, kneel in front of you, and worship you as a teacher. ”

Xu Shilin has never been beaten by society and does not know the cruelty of reality.

Reasoning?

This is the most ridiculous thing Chen Kang has heard in recent years.

Truth and morality, in the face of real violence, are just a fart, worthless.

Xu Shilin said: "Then you just wait to worship me as a teacher." ”

Xu Shilin turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Xu Jiaorong shouted: "Shilin, Shilin......"

Chen Kang said: "Let him be quiet." Xu Shilin, this kid, is already a nerd. If you want to change Xu Shilin's ideology, you must take drastic medicine. I took Xu Shilin to Jinshan Temple to see Fahai, and when I came back, I think he knew how naïve and ridiculous his thoughts were at the moment. ”

Xu Jiaorong said: "Chen Kang, thank you. ”

Chen Kang said: "Mrs. Li doesn't need to thank me. Back then, the Xu family and the White Lady saved my life. Since you brought Xu Shilin to see me. I can't ignore this. ”

(I took leave to be hospitalized for a hanging injection and was scolded by the supervisor.) Workers are not even eligible to take sick leave. Ask for a ticket. ）
