Chapter 54: Cultivating Bones
Zhao Lin didn't think about it, and replied, "I want profit." ”
The master bookkeeper smiled dumbly, "What you promised is happy, it's not that I want to hide your credit, this reward is divided into two types: official price and dark flower." ”
Dark flowers?
Zhao Lin remembered that he had watched a Hong Kong film in his previous life, and his name was Dark Flower.
Seeing that he did not understand, the master explained the difference between the two briefly.
The so-called official price is the amount of the reward stated on the notice, and anyone who catches and kills the thief can receive the reward.
The government then posted notices to publicize the deeds of the people who received the rewards, which was regarded as fame and fortune.
The dark flower is a reward offered by a private organization outside the government, which is not open to ordinary people, and the honorarium is higher, but the credit is no longer known.
In other words, the credit goes to the one who bloomed the dark flower.
Zhao Lin didn't care about fame, but out of courtesy, he still asked, "Ask Lord Bookkeeper, how much does the dark flower cost?" ”
The main book said: "The official price is one hundred taels, and the dark flower is doubled." ”
"Then I'd better choose Dark Flower."
The person who blooms the dark flower either has a grudge against the bandits and wants to raise the price to encourage the warriors to kill the thieves, or they use the money to buy credit as a step into the body.
Zhao Lin doesn't care who opens the dark flower, which money is more than which.
Not long after, Zhao Lin walked out of the county government and had two hundred taels of silver in his arms......
The next few days passed relatively peacefully.
The bandits disappeared as if suddenly.
Only the occasional suspicious person wanders in front of the Liuhe Gate, but other than that, life is almost the same as before.
The construction of the house on Shuncheng Street is progressing smoothly, Zhao Lin has inspected it several times, and it is estimated that it will be repaired in more than ten days.
With a large sum of money in his hand, he thought of sending it to his parents and brothers who were far away.
However, considering that they may not have settled down yet, it is very easy to bring danger to contact them, and after thinking twice, I can only wait for a safe opportunity in the future.
Looking back on the experience of more than half a year, Zhao Lin feels like a dream.
From an ordinary peasant boy, he has become a "capable" martial artist in the eyes of ordinary people.
He knew very well that his efforts were important, but the spirit beast diagram was the key.
Without the spirit beast map, he may still be digging in the soil, and even his family may be ruined.
At present, he is very satisfied with the three spirits he has absorbed, strength, speed, and hearing, none of which are missing.
Through the exploration in recent days, Zhao Lin also has a new understanding of the spirit beast map.
When the food is eaten, it will soon produce vitality and enter the three grids of bears, blackhorned antelopes and chrysanthemum bats.
At first, he thought that the vitality in the three grids was automatically distributed by the spirit beast diagram, but after many experiments, he found that this was not exactly the case.
First of all, Xiong Zhen's spirit mainly strengthens muscles and bones, which are used to increase strength.
The spirit of the blackhorned antelope is used to strengthen the tendons and fascia.
Zhao Lin eats a lot of meat every day, and both aspects can be replenished, but there are also slight differences.
For example, if you drink bone broth and eat pork ribs, the vitality in the bear grid will be abundant and abundant.
If you eat more foods such as hoof tendons and beef tendons, then the vitality in the lattice of the black horned antelope will increase.
The chrysanthemum bat is very different from the two: eating meat has little effect, but vegetables, dried fruits, and animal liver can produce a lot of vitality in this grid.
"Eating more foods that contain vitamins and zinc is good for hearing."
Thanks to the promotion of health and wellness in his previous life, Zhao Lin knows some nutrition knowledge and probably knows the nutrients contained in each food.
He also deduced a conclusion: eat more food and replenish more vitality, but if you can accurately supplement nutrition, it will be more efficient.
He is in the stage of bone training, and after knowing this trick, he deliberately increased his intake of foods with high calcium content such as milk, pork ribs, lean meat, fish and shrimp.
In this era, there are not many people who drink milk, the poor can't afford to drink it, and the rich don't like to drink it.
Zhao Lin knows very well that milk is the fastest and most effective way to supplement calcium, and every morning, noon and evening comes to a pound of boiled milk, almost as water to drink.
If you persist for many days, the effect is remarkable.
The changes in the body are becoming more and more obvious: the muscles are itching, the joints are sore, and every now and then there is a soft sound.
The day of the breakthrough is not far away.
"Brother Zhao, are you free? Let's play with two tricks. ”
In the front yard of Liuhe Gate, Zhao Lin was training his bones with an iron sand bag, and an apprentice of medium stature and old appearance walked up to Zhao Lin and said.
This person's name is Xu Xian, and he is the longest apprentice in Liuhemen, and he is also the only one who has entered the tendon training period.
Originally, he had always been the best among the apprentices, but recently the limelight has been stolen by Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin has successfully practiced skin in more than four months, and he has also entered the top three in the last two boxing competitions, and several apprentices in the bone training period are not opponents.
That's all there is to it, what makes Xu Xian angry the most is that the master of the sect, Zhu Huaishan, actually accepted Zhao Lin as a disciple.
Xu Xian had stayed in the Force Realm for many years, and he was unable to enter the Qi Realm, and when he heard the news, he felt very angry in his heart, and he couldn't concentrate on practicing for many days.
"It's just that I've been practicing skin for a few months, and whether I can break through bone training and tendon training is still a matter of words!"
Whenever he saw Zhao Lin concentrating on practicing, he felt impetuous.
Today he really couldn't help it, and came to Zhao Lin to compare his fists.
I made up my mind to start more seriously later, so that Zhao Lin could make a big fool of himself, so that he could teach others who was the genius among the apprentices.
Zhao Lin was stunned when he heard this, his bone joints vibrated continuously at this time, which was consistent with the phenomenon before the bone training Dacheng described by Yuan Cheng, so he naturally didn't want to stop.
"Senior Brother Xu, sooner or later, I feel like I've encountered a level."
After Zhao Lin finished speaking, he continued to practice with his head bored.
"There's no hurry, just wait."
Xu Xianpi said with a smile, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Checkpoint, you have only been practicing skin for two months, what level can you encounter?" It's hard to be a bone training. ”
Zhao Lin naturally didn't know that this Senior Brother Xu's inner drama was so rich, he waved the iron sand bag and hit his whole body, and repeatedly shouted the six-character mantra in his mouth: "Shhh, heh, huh, phew, blow, hee......"
After about a stick of incense, Zhao Lin suddenly felt his muscles rapidly expand and congestion, his bones faintly hummed, and the remaining vitality in the spirit beast diagram was released like a flood that opened the floodgates.
"It's coming!"
Zhao Lin felt something in his heart, and couldn't help but increase the intensity of the beating, and his breathing gradually became shorter.
The rattle of his joints grew louder and louder, first humming, then the sound of branches breaking, and finally crackling like popping beans.
The apprentices who were practicing in the courtyard were all alarmed, stopped practicing, and looked at Zhao Lin blankly.
One of the apprentices was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran to the backyard.
Xu Xian's face changed color, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and shouted in his heart: "This ...... How can it be! ”
Zhao Lin took advantage of the high-speed operation of qi and blood, threw away the iron sand bag, and played the Liuhe fist method.
Swing punches and kick feet, fists and feet make wind, and the bones are crisp and crisp.
From head to toe, one, two, three......
It rang all over the body, a total of two hundred and six times.
