Chapter 2: Hiding the edge in every inch, working hard to raise the sword
A small rosewood box, no more than half a foot long, three fingers wide, hollow, contains not a brush wolf, but a sword.
The box was bought in Sibaozhai in Jing County, and it cost ten taels of silver, which was quite valuable. You must know that Qianwen has always been one tael, and ordinary people, ten taels of silver can be spent for a long time.
Uncle Hua, the housekeeper who paid the bill, was in pain, but there was no way, the young master liked it. For many years, Chen Sanlang does not like the wind and moon, is not good at decoration, and loves the four treasures of the study, and in these aspects, he spends a lot of money.
Of course, this time Uncle Hua didn't know the purpose of the young master's purchase of the box, not as a pen case, but as a sword box.
The mysterious little sword is absolutely extraordinary, especially when it is warm, it cannot be placed casually, so as not to leak the essence and waste the effort. Therefore, it must be contained in a carrier of certain special qualities, such as the best rosewood.
According to the silk book, to warm this sword, it is necessary to drip blood every twelve hours until the absorption is satisfied.
Perseverance, can be small, rejuvenated, to the fullest, sharp, to the sword, to control the sword, can be a thousand miles, cut off people's heads.
It can be called a fairy method!
When he first came into contact with and learned about this prospect, Chen Sanlang was shocked and delighted, and he couldn't add it to himself. I am very curious about the red carp that sent this sword to repay my kindness.
And the vision is further expanded, it is the superficial knowledge of this world, lamenting that after twenty years of waste, he is still a frog at the bottom of a well.
After sighing, he officially began to raise a sword, and was suddenly awakened by the bloody painful reality: If you want to be an immortal and wield your magical powers, it is difficult, it is really difficult.
Finger bleeding, trickling and paining into the bone marrow, is simply unbearable.
The scholar's body and bones are already weak, how can he resist the wear and tear of raising a sword? I am afraid that after two or three days, the whole person will become a human being.
However, once sword cultivation has begun, it is not advisable to interrupt. If you break for one day, it means that the blood of the previous day has been shed in vain, and if you break for more than three days, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and you will have to start all over again.
Now that it's started, you have to grit your teeth and go on desperately.
After thinking about it for a while, the only way Chen Sanlang could think of was stupid, which was to eat. Eat your appetite and your body up.
Usually, he eats three meals a day, one bowl of rice at a time, but now he eats three bowls at a time, and eats six meals a day. As for the green vegetables and fish, they are not picky, and they are eaten in large bites, like pigs and cows on the table.
This appearance made Chen's mother and others stunned: Is this still the gentle San Lang?
But Chen Sanlang can eat, he can't help but give, only try to be satisfied, and buy what he wants. Today's chickens and ducks, tomorrow's cattle and sheep, take turns.
Stupid methods often have good results - at the beginning of sword raising, he is sick, his limbs are weak, his spirit is tired, and his face is pale and bloodless. But gradually, I got used to it, my diet kept up, and I finally maintained the critical point of attrition and did not collapse and fall.
It's just that bloodletting every day is far from being able to make up for it by eating a lot.
So, in the bright spring season, Chen Sanlang became thinner and thinner day by day.
Eating a lot, but thin, Chen's mother was so anxious that she thought her son was seriously ill and hurried to find a doctor. The doctor came, checked the pulse, and said that Chen Sanlang's blood and qi were weak, his middle qi was insufficient, and he needed to make up for it, so he prescribed a dose of "Ginseng Yangrong Soup", which had to be boiled and eaten every day.
This soup is boiled with more than ten herbs such as ginseng, angelica, and poria cocos, which costs a lot of money, and one dose a day costs 500 yuan.
When the diet increased, and he had to buy medicinal herbs to make soup, the expenses suddenly increased, and the silver flowed like water.
Chen Wang's face was sad.
The Chen family was originally a businessman and had been in business for many years, so they had accumulated some family foundation. However, since Chen's father died early, Chen Wang's family is not easy to show up, so the business has changed hands and cash. turned to train Chen Sanlang wholeheartedly, hoping that he could succeed in his studies and embark on a career in office. Unexpectedly, although Saburo's qualifications are not good, he is naturally terrifying, and he can't take the test.
In this way, Chen Wang's family also slowly gave up his mind, he didn't want to think so much, he kept his savings, and it was enough for Chen Sanlang to marry and start a family. However, if you go out more and enter less, you will inevitably sit on the mountain.
In recent years, in order to save money, except for an old housekeeper and a personal maid, the rest of the family has been dismissed.
But now that his son is in poor health, Chen Wang's beloved son is heartfelt, and he has no reason to be stingy, thinking that even if the family is bankrupt, he must raise San Lang well.
During these days, Chen Sanlang would wander around the Jing River every day, but he never encountered a red carp again. This mysterious fish may have swam away from the Jing River and disappeared.
There are countless doubts in my heart.
But Chen Sanlang's idea of feeding blood and raising swords has never wavered, and he can't survive if he doesn't go crazy, he is no longer the sour scholar buried in the pile of old papers.
When there is an opportunity in front of you that can change your life from the roots, when will you not wait?
Drinking the strong medicinal soup every day, the blood qi in the body really grows, and the complexion is a little ruddy, no longer so pale and frightening.
In the next step, Chen Sanlang had a new idea: he wanted to apprentice and practice martial arts!
"Learn martial arts?"
When the old housekeeper Uncle Hua heard the young master's words, his eyes straightened, and he cautiously asked, "Young master, are you burned?"
Since the young master fainted and woke up, it was like a different person, which was completely different.
Chen Sanlang has a heartfelt words: "A gentleman should be a sword." ”
The old butler didn't understand the sage's great truth, but he couldn't stop the young master's determination to learn martial arts. When he told his wife, Chen Wang groaned slightly, and he was also approved.
There is a martial arts hall in Jing County, and the owner of the hall is called "Sick Tiger" Xu Nianniang.
Very soft and weird name, if you don't see it, I thought it would be a woman.
Xu Nianniang is about forty years old, medium build, white skin, and short beard, he is actually not a native of Jing County, but moved from other places. After settling in the county, he opened a martial arts hall, but he didn't take the name of the hall, and the place was remote. is called Wuguan, in fact, there is only one official apprentice - his daughter Xu Jun.
The martial arts hall is also a dilapidated courtyard, casually put some simple household goods, three simple knives, two spears, the knives and guns are either rusted on the blade or the wooden handle is mothed; on the other side, a few wooden stakes are made, and the beautiful name is "plum blossom pile".
The courtyard is cold, there are no apprentices to teach, Xu Nianniang sits in the tavern and drinks every day. He was an alcoholic, and he came back every day when he was drunk.
He wears a white-washed green shirt all year round, and he rarely changes to a second one. The whole person looks like Luo Tuo, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a martial arts master.
Chen Sanlang didn't care, he didn't want to learn any amazing martial arts when he entered the martial arts hall, he just wanted to be a dead horse doctor, and he wanted to start from the foundation and practice his weak body. After all, just by eating and drinking medicinal soup, the symptoms are not cured, and after practicing martial arts, see if it can be effectively improved.
The martial arts hall couldn't find anyone, so she had to run to the tavern, Xu Nianniang, who was drinking, looked at him in surprise, looked up and down, and thought to herself: Is this Chen Sanlang crazy?
Or is there more money to burn?
If there is money to collect, the owner of the Xu Pavilion will naturally not push it out, so he immediately nodded in agreement, waved his hand, and the first sentence was: "Pay for the wine first!"
The entrance to the martial arts hall is extremely loose, that is, the backup ceremony, and you can pay a sum of silver. Such as Chen Sanlang is not Xu Nianniang's apprentice at all, but only a contributor to tuition. said that he was learning kung fu, but he was just putting on a show.
Chen Sanlang is a newcomer and has no kung fu foundation, Xu Nianniang first taught him Zama step.
Zama step is far from being as simple as imagined, it is very exquisite, standing, sinking the waist, holding the chest, and leaning ...... It is not easy to do a whole set of actions to be standard.
With Xu Nianniang's thoughts, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take three steps, so Chen Sanlang couldn't bear the sourness and misery, and automatically flashed.
Unexpectedly, for several days, Chen Sanlang didn't even go to the private school, and ran to the martial arts hall every day. After completing the daily exercises, ask questions about the rivers and lakes with one mouth.
When she was in front of people, Xu Nianniang always boasted of "30 years of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes", as a martial artist, she traveled south and north, and her knowledge was indeed relatively broad. At the very least, he had been in Nanyang Mansion.
One government and six counties, Jing County is one of them.
Above Nanyang Mansion, there are more vast states and counties - the Xia Yu Dynasty is divided into nine major states and counties.
Zhongzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, Mingzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Manzhou.
Nanyang Mansion is located in the Jiangnan area and belongs to Yangzhou.
In a word, this world is very big, and the rivers and lakes are boundless. In comparison, Jing County can only be regarded as a small puddle.
Chen Sanlang listened to Xu Nianniang's rhetoric, and felt relish, and had the novel feeling of the frog at the bottom of the well listening to what he saw and heard, and knowing the greatness of heaven and earth.
In this ancient world, where information distribution was extremely poor and the means of transportation were rudimentary, in many cases, even a map seemed extremely extravagant. The people live here, live in a corner, plough at sunrise, rest at sunset, and a lifetime may be a miserable life, and the sky above the head is like a cover, which is a qiē.
What Chen Sanlang couldn't accept the most was this—he really wanted to go out and have a look. If there is still a mountain behind the mountain, it is time to walk all over the green mountain.
In fact, it would be an ideal way to succeed in studying and go straight to the top of the imperial examination.
It's just that at the moment, there is suddenly another choice. Although it is shocking and unrealistic, it is much easier to accept that more incredible things have been experienced.
Even, Chen Sanlang faintly felt that what was recorded in "Haoran Silk Book" was like tailor-made and suitable for his own character.
Silk book works, more than 1,000 words of formulas, concise and concise, extremely difficult and profound. After carefully studying and pondering, Jue Yang Jian is only at the elementary level. The deeper things are closely related to calligraphy articles, and the essence is where the essence lies. However, there are many words behind the silk book, all of which are recognizable, and can be used to form sentences, but after they are connected together, they do not understand the meaning. Looking at the flowers in the fog, hazy and hazy.
Every time I want to concentrate on experiencing and mastering it, I immediately have my thoughts churning, and my spirit is like a mad horse, causing my head to swell, my heart to be upset, and I want to be nauseated.
Such a big reaction made Chen Sanlang understand: At this stage, he does not have the conditions to read silk books at all. To put it bluntly, the attainments are not enough, and you have to continue to learn and comprehend.
Read 10,000 books, walk 10,000 miles, and seek from them.
Let's go.
The road is trodden by men.
Great oaks from little acorns grow.. At this stage, the most important thing is to boil the body and feed the sword. When it is a skill of pressing the box, or an unexpected effect.
Chen Sanlang was able to persevere and learned martial arts with a clear eye.
This matter quickly spread in Jing County, which is a big palm, and it has become a new novelty, and there are heated discussions in the streets and alleys. Some people say that this is because Chen Sanlang knew that he could not learn and could not study, so he simply changed careers; some people said that Chen Sanlang was actually the same as other rich children who worshiped the martial arts hall, and he had other plans, all of which wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Xu Nianniang's daughter Xu Jun and covet the beauty of others; others said that Chen Sanlang could not succeed in martial arts, and sooner or later his family property would be ruined......
There were many discussions, but Chen Sanlang turned a deaf ear and devoted himself to doing his own thing - every time the hour came, it was convenient for no one to be there, opened the rosewood sword box, and gently took out the small sword.
The tip of the sword pierces the fingers, and the blood drips to warm it.
Compared to the pain of death and life, practicing martial arts is simply pediatric, and it is nothing.
