Fourth, the small government of the hidden mountain
Seven days later, Zhang Quan placed Chen Jiuge in the kitchen helper of the county government, eating and living with a group of cooks.
Next to the back kitchen is the school field of the county government, where the officials ride horses and shoot arrows and practice martial arts. When he was free, Chen Jiuge would go to take a look, and he would do two punches in the same way. Gradually, Zhang Quan also discovered some unusual things about Chen Jiuge.
It's been more than half a month...
"Xiao Jiu, follow me to lie down at Lord Cheng's house!" The Lord Cheng in Zhang Quan's mouth was his father-in-law Cheng Yue.
"Oh..." Chen Jiuge didn't ask what to do, just followed behind Zhang Quan with a silly look.
Cheng Yue is the chief catcher of Yinshan County, and on the bright side, the entire Yinshan Mountain belongs to his highest martial arts. Ten years ago, he broke through the innate realm, and now he is nearly sixty years old and still looks like he is thirty or forty years old.
"Quan'er is here!" Cheng Yue looked at this righteous son who he had cultivated with his own hands, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"Why didn't Pu'er join you today?" asked Cheng Yue.
"Back to my father-in-law, Pu'er's girl said that she would come in the afternoon with a few classmates! Zhang Quan pulled Chen Jiuge behind him and said:
"Xiao Jiu, why don't you come forward to meet the adults!?"
"Boy Chen Jiuge, see Lord Cheng!" Although this Cheng Yue looked very peaceful on the outside, Chen Jiuge felt that he was sitting in front of him like a tiger, so he looked a little restrained.
"You are the kid in the broken temple that day, you haven't seen a big change in a few days!" Cheng Yue then looked at Zhang Quan and asked:
"I don't know what this is...?"
"Don't blame your father-in-law! Quan'er was injured that day, thanks to the care of the little nine brothers. I felt that I had a lot of fate with him, so I brought him back, and later found that he was born with great strength, and his memory and understanding were good!
"Heh... Oh, little slippery! I actually want my father-in-law to help you repay this favor. Cheng Yue was a little surprised, Zhang Quan was so interested in this half-grown son of unknown origin.
"I'd like to see it! Come with me..."
Cheng Yue took the two of them to his practice room and pointed to a 100-pound stone lock.
Chen Jiuge did not hesitate, and easily raised it with one hand.
"Yes, it's not bad!" he then took a three-stone bow from the wall and handed it to him.
Chen Jiu Ge still did not waste any effort, and pulled the bow away casually.
Then Cheng Yue handed him a five-stone bow again, and Chen Jiuge shook his arms this time, and he reluctantly pulled the bow apart most of the time.
"Good!"
Cheng Yue only shouted hello on his lips, but in fact, his heart was not calm for a long time! A person who can open a five-stone bow is at least a martial artist at the peak of the Tempering Body Realm.
And this Chen Jiuge clearly looks like he has never practiced martial arts at all. And it's still in the stage of growing the body.
The so-called tempering realm is to produce a sense of qi in the body, and then use it to temper the body. People who have not practiced martial arts have no internal qi in their bodies when exerting force. Ordinary people can't detect it, but the innate realm is very easy to perceive.
"Although we have passed the golden age of martial arts training and foundation building, it will be more difficult to achieve success. However, with your innate divine power, coupled with hard work and hard work, you will definitely be able to make a difference in the future!"
Cheng Yue also has a heart for talents, and is in a good mood, and continues:
"You can learn the "Righteous Qi Technique" and the basic boxing and knife techniques first, and then I will take the school examination in a while to see what path is more suitable for you!"
"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Quan urged Chen Jiuge, feeling more concerned than him.
"Lord Xie Cheng..."Chen Jiuge still had a wooden expression.
Cheng Yue looked at this stupid kid and smiled.
From then on, Chen Jiuge changed into the clothes of a servant and followed Zhang Quan as an official errand.
......
"This is the "Righteous Qi Formula", which is the most basic qi induction method of my Han Dynasty, and these books are the most basic boxing, footwork, knife method, and swordsmanship..."Zhang Quan placed nearly ten books in front of Chen Jiuge and continued:
"Don't underestimate these basic things, it is said that they were written by Emperor Yu in ancient times, and most of today's advanced martial arts are deduced from these things. ”
Chen Jiuge casually took a copy and opened it and looked at it:
"The words on it... I'm like... I don't understand!" I feel like I should be literate, right?
"Illiterate? Why did I forget this stubble!" Zhang Quan made a bitter face, this practice of martial arts is illiterate, after all, it is not a small obstacle.
And he himself is not very literate, so it is really difficult for him to teach others to read. I patiently taught casually for a few days, and then threw him a thick "Dictionary of the Great Han", lied to him that it was a textbook for enlightenment, and if he didn't understand, let him go to Zhang Pu'er.
It's just that he underestimated Chen Jiuge...
......
"Come on, Xiao Jiu, use your full strength to fight me a few tricks!" Zhang Quan still likes this way of teaching, and he never gets tired of it.
And Chen Jiuge only uses five or six points of strength every time, which may be an instinct of his. If you really have to use all your strength, Zhang Quan, who is in the early stage of the day after tomorrow, may not be able to bear it.
In three months, everything that can be taught has been taught, and "Righteous Qi Jue" has been introduced in less than a month. Such a terrifying learning speed and comprehension really amazed Zhang Quan again and again, thinking that it took him more than a year at the beginning.
And Chen Jiuge never told him that after the introduction of "Righteous Qi Jue", he found that he seemed to be at the peak of his tempered body, and his whole body muscles and bones were already as hard as iron, and the meridians of his whole body were extremely transparent.
"By the time of the day after tomorrow, the true qi in the body has become a cycle. When the true qi is induced, the qi is like a spring, endless, and it can also be blessed with qi to the weapon in the hand. ”
Chen Jiuge compared his body and felt that his situation was different from what was described in the book. Because the true qi in the body has formed a circulation, there is no hindrance, but it feels like there are only a few traces of true qi, which is too weak.
"Could it be that I have studied martial arts before? Forget it, let's ask Brother Zhang another day! And what will happen after reaching the innate realm?"
+++++
Late one night, a murder occurred in Liujiazhuang in the east of the city, and a family of three living at the entrance of the village were all killed overnight. Even the livestock died, and it was really miserable that there were no chickens and dogs left.
There were no witnesses to the case, and the deceased had two bloody holes in his neck, like tooth marks. The blood in the body also seems to have been sucked dry, and it looks extremely terrifying.
The people in the village were panicked and said it was haunted. Several families have begun to pack their luggage and prepare to join relatives and friends, and the village has also invited Taoist priests to come to exorcise ghosts and avoid evil spirits, and yellow charms are posted everywhere.
After Cheng Yue saw the corpse, his face was also blue. It seems that the case is not simple...
Zhang Quan led a team of men and horses to search the mountains and forests near Liujia Village for a whole day, but found nothing. I'm going to stay here for the night and see if I can find anything.
"Xiao Jiu, go back first, I heard my father-in-law say that a similar case occurred in Hidden Mountain City more than ten years ago, and later it was found out that the murderer was a big viper comparable to the middle realm of the day after tomorrow, and it took four or five people to kill it at that time!"
Zhang Quan's face was serious, and it seemed that he didn't want Chen Jiuge to get into danger.
"Big viper?" Chen Jiuge encountered something new again.
"I don't know about this, anyway, the murderer this time is stronger, and it is very likely to be a blood-sucking beast that has been artificially raised!" Zhang Quan replied.
"Raised...?"
"The rivers and lakes are sinister, so Xiao Jiu, you have to work harder to practice martial arts!"
......
Yinshan County Stone Forest Library, the place with the most books in the entire Yinshan City. The three-story book building contains everything about astronomy and geography, historical miscellaneous, and interesting novels, in addition to martial arts cheats.
You can borrow books, buy books, or rub books here, Chen Jiuge is a frequent visitor here.
"This kid is rubbing books again..."The guy in the book building looked up and saw that it was Chen Jiuge, he didn't bother to say hello, and continued to sort out the books in his hand.
Chen Jiuge found the upstairs from downstairs to upstairs, and then from upstairs to downstairs, but never found the book he wanted.
"Hey... Boy, are you looking for a book or a vegetable garden?" the man put up with him for a long time, and he couldn't read it anymore.
"I'm looking for... Oh, by the way, brother, do you have any books about beasts and the like? I'm just looking for some relevant information..."
Only then did Chen Jiuge think of asking the scholar guy.
"What is relevant or irrelevant, there are no books like beasts in this book. Even if you had, you wouldn't buy it!"
The man's face was full of impatience, but he was right, Chen Jiuge had never bought a book.
"Uh... I'll buy it!as long as I have this time... Must buy it!" Chen Jiuge looked very embarrassed.
"If you don't buy so many books, you can buy those who don't have books in our library, hum!" the guy gave him a big wink.
"You don't have the books you're looking for!" was a girl's voice. Chen Jiuge looked up and saw that it was Qian Qing'er.
"Hello Miss!" the man saluted, turned and walked away.
"Then Miss Qian, can you tell me, where can I find it?" asked Chen Jiuge.
"All books related to the secrets of martial arts are only available in the nobles of the family, or the martial arts sect, or the martial arts hall of the court, and the six doors. We also have some in the Hidden Mountain Academy, but they are very superficial!" Qian Qing'er replied.
"Hidden Mountain Academy?"
Although Chen Jiuge has not been on an errand for a long time, he knows a little about the court martial arts hall and the six gates, and only the state and county have branches. Most of the martial arts sects live in seclusion, and the only thing they can find at the moment is the Hidden Mountain Academy.
"But you're not from the academy, you want to see it..." Qian Qing'er didn't finish her words, Chen Jiuge said "thank you" and turned away.
"This guy is stupid, and Sister Pu'er always praises him for being smart, why don't I see it..."
......
"The beast... I finally found it!" Chen Jiuge flipped through the books that Tuo Pu'er had borrowed from the academy, and was extremely engaged.
"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing studying these! The master of the academy heard that I was going to borrow these books, and kept chasing me and asking. I lied to them and said that my brother wanted to see it, so he would borrow it. Pu'er wanted to ask what was going on.
"Don't worry, these are all miscellaneous notes, I'll just take a look at it to pass the time. It seems that Chen Jiuge doesn't want her to know too much, lest she worry.
"Is it Liujiazhuang's case? Pu'er muttered, and seeing that Chen Jiuge ignored him, she hugged the mouse and walked away.
"Snack goods, you know how to eat, you are about to get fat into a ball, and I have never seen a mouse grow as big as you!" Pu'er fed the mouse a piece of dried fish and muttered to herself.
"Brother won't be back tonight, anyway, I don't have to go to the school tomorrow, why don't we go see him later, and bring him some supper... If you don't speak, you agree!"
"Squeak, squeak", the mouse meant to persuade her not to go, but she definitely didn't understand!
