Chapter 34: Temple Fair, Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva
Whoa!
The hot water is poured into the tub and the water is steaming.
"Whew!"
Naked and soaked in the hot liquid, Li Yuan sighed comfortably:
"Thank you, Liu Qing!"
"No, no thanks."
Liu Qing was a little flattered.
Li Yuan today is not the same as he was three months ago.
The first in the assessment of the inner court, Zhang Ben's disciple, a forging genius...... A series of names added together, as if they are already rookies in the forging shop.
Even in the outer city, there are some famous ones.
"By the way, did Wei Wu find it?"
Li Yuan looked up.
Wei Wu is an apprentice in the front yard, who disappeared a few days ago, and his parents came to the door and made a big commotion.
"Well, I heard that it was Liang Ashui who had hot eyes, and followed him to catch fish, accidentally fell in, rushed to the next town, and was beaten as soon as he got home, and I heard that he was going to be kicked out of the shop......"
Liu Qing replied, a little concerned.
"So?"
Li Yuan nodded.
Liang Ashui made his fortune too fast and too sensational, I don't know how many people are staring at him, and Na Wei Wu is not the only one who wants to follow suit, seven months ago, he himself was hot.
"Then I'll go out and boil water, and I'll have to have several buckets!"
Liu Qing scratched his head, laughed, and walked out of the house with the bucket, his steps were much happier.
"Spending money is like running water!"
It is not easy to take a hot bath, and the medicinal bath is much more luxurious, and it costs two or three hundred catties to wash it once, and the firewood costs two or three hundred catties, plus medicinal materials, which is enough for ordinary people to spend for one or two months.
The apprentices in the inner courtyard normally only soak once in half a month, and Li Yuan is a little more extravagant, taking a soak every ten days.
"After years of not bathing, the skin is full of dirt. I heard that even the relatives of Liu, Wang, and Bai in the inner city only wash once every ten days......"
Soaking in the medicinal liquid, Li Yuan's skin was red, and he closed his eyes slightly, and he could feel the blood and qi flowing in his body, moisturizing his muscles and bones.
Qi and blood are a very mysterious thing, and he is willing to call it the second set of immune system, which isolates wind and cold and strengthens the body.
As far as he knew, among the people who died of wind and cold in Gaoliu County every year, there was never a martial artist who entered the door, and this was the wonderful use of blood and qi.
"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that people who practice martial arts take a lot of medicine?"
Li Yuan squinted his eyes and sensed the palm of his hand.
【2nd Order Commander】
[Blade in Command: Three-Yuan Army Standard Scythe (1st Order), Master Craftsman's Hammer (2nd Order)]
[Palm Control Effect: Great Perfection Level Forging Method, Perfection Level White Ape Cloak Hammer Method, Great Success Level Saw Horse Sword and Scythe, Soldier Talent, Hundred Soldiers Familiar, Long Soldier Mastery]
"At present, the control effects are skill class, and talent class, and it is uncertain whether there will be other effects......
"Skill blessing, there are two effects, without active urging, it can greatly increase my martial arts speed, if you take the initiative to promote, the effect of palm control can be superimposed on me instantly......"
"At that time, I had just entered the mastery, urging the practice hammer, then the hammer method was instantly small, and now my blood and hammer method are about to be completed, and at the same time push the scythe and the hammer of the master, what realm can my hammer method push to?
Consummation, or Great Consummation? ”
Li Yuan thought in his heart and looked down at his palm.
"As for the talent ......"
In the steaming water, a flying knife could be faintly seen shuttling between his five fingers, flowing like a fish, very flexible.
The blessing of military talent is immediate.
He was able to push the forging technique from scratch to Xiaocheng in three months, which was inseparable from the blessing of this talent.
"It's a pity that the Long Soldier Mastery can't be applied to the throwing knife......"
For his own entry, Li Yuan was still satisfied in his heart.
The only thing that is holding back is flesh and blood.
The middle and lower root bones, if they don't have the fighting method of fighting and killing the hammer to temper the blood qi, even if they have the assistance of medicinal diet and medicinal bath, they can't be compared with the high-grade root bones.
After all, where the superior root bones are, there is no shortage of medicinal materials to assist.
For example, Yue Yunjin, the senior brother of the inner courtyard, has been a high-grade root bone and has studied martial arts for more than three years, and his blood and qi can already bless his limbs.
The hammer method is a little worse, and it is not possible to penetrate the Liuhe for a long time, otherwise it would have broken through the internal strength a few years earlier.
When the water warmed up slightly, Liu Qing carried a bucket of hot water and poured it into the bathtub, and after doing so several times, Li Yuan got up and walked to the bathtub next to him.
Soak in water to wash off the smell of medicine.
After that, he put on the new short hair in the shop, came in a single coat, his hair was bunched at random, and he sorted it out in the mirror, and Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
No matter who looks at it, he can't see the capable and strong young man in the mirror, who was just a sick man more than half a year ago.
His change is no longer huge, but comparable to being reborn.
"With the high-grade tempering blood qi method, plus medicinal materials, how long will it take to achieve blood qi perfection?"
Seeing Liu Qing leave, Li Yuan closed the door, took out the long-handled exercise hammer with a flip of his wrist, and slowly practiced the fighting hammer in the outhouse.
His movements were very slow, but there was a feeling of grinding and pushing, not very drastic movements, but the physical strength was enormous, and the blood and qi were circulating, and the muscles and bones made a 'click' sound.
This is the first type of killing move of the Fighting Hammer, the seventy-ninth road change.
Inside the hut, the hammer danced lightly, and there was no sound of the wind.
Taking advantage of the fact that after the medicinal bath, when the blood qi in his body was most full, he repeatedly practiced this path of change until the blood qi was exhausted, and after replenishment,
Fang Cai's action changed, and the eightieth change was played.
Click~
Li Yuan could hear the sound of muscles and bones rubbing, and the blood qi that filled his arms was consumed rapidly, and after a while, he couldn't hold the hammer in his hand.
The fighting style of the Bingdao Fighting Hammer looks simple, but it can involve the tempering and transportation of blood and qi, and the consumption of physical strength is very huge.
"Superior martial arts are really difficult to learn, and these last two changes are really difficult to practice."
After a while, Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief, beads of sweat slid down, but his eyes were bright:
"However, even if there are only eighty changes, I can barely master the first killing move 'Soldier Attack' of this superior martial art!"
After resting for a while, Li Yuan went out with the silver.
At this time, it was almost noon, but there was no one in the forging shop, and even the room had stopped, and Sun Fatzi was nowhere to be seen.
"Even the forging shop has a three-day holiday, which is worthy of being one of the three major events set by the imperial court."
Li Yuan walked briskly.
Festivals that will have holidays are bound to be relatively important.
This temple fair on March 28 is one day more than the New Year's holiday, which shows its weight.
On this day, the inner and outer cities of Gaoliu County do not even need to enter the city, and every household is full of lights, which is really much more lively than the New Year's Pass.
On the street, the flow of people is like weaving, the cries of various vendors come and go, as soon as he comes out of the forging shop, Li Yuan smells the aroma of all kinds of snacks, and also feels the trembling of the palm of the soldier.
"There must be something good for such a large-scale temple fair, right?"
While!
While!
While!
At this time, a loud gong came from a distance.
Li Yuan stopped to look, only to see the commotion of pedestrians at the end of the street, and they dispersed one after another without anyone's command to make way out.
Sixteen big men lined up in two teams, carrying a huge altar with thick mulberry bars on their shoulders.
"It's a big battle......
Li Yuan's eyelids were one and he avoided them in advance.
At a glance, he saw the gold, silver, glass, coral, agate and other treasures dotted outside the altar, and the sun was very strong at noon, and the altar was shining.
Sixteen Han people carried, dozens of people in front and behind crowded to open the way, all kinds of flags and flags were held high, and everywhere they passed, I don't know how many people saluted sincerely, and there was no shortage of people who knelt on the ground.
"Ask the Bodhisattva for protection, my Gaoliu County has good weather and good harvest."
"Bodhisattvas give generous gifts, good men and women bow their heads devoutly......"
"Bodhisattva bless me with great fortune!"
……
Cheers came from far and near.
There are people who dress up for temple blessings, holding merit boxes, and I don't know how many people come forward enthusiastically, or throw copper coins, or throw broken silver.
"That Bodhisattva ......"
A gentle breeze stirred the white veil, revealing the image behind it, a bodhisattva who looked compassionate and holy, with six eyes on his face and a thousand eyes on his body.
Li Yuan only glanced at it and then shifted his gaze.
"No wonder it's called the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva, this is really lifelike, with a body of eyeballs, I am afraid that it can scare people to death when I see it coldly......"
Li Yuan almost suffered from a phobia of intensity, and he really admired the craftsman who carved this statue.
He took a few steps back, avoiding the temples that didn't seem to be easy to mess with, and was about to leave when he suddenly clenched his fists and looked up in surprise.
Look at the line passing by two meters away.
This bodhisattva statue......
