Wang Xu and Zhao Qingfeng rode on horses, followed by a scholar and a special combat member. Zhao Qingfeng's breathing was thin and long, and every time he inhaled, his breath could reach his heels, obviously with a high level of inner cultivation.

Ordinary people breathe, and the breath can only reach the lungs. He has become a martial arts master with internal strength, and his breathing can reach the lower abdomen (dantian).

If you can breathe the breath to your heels, and your breath reaches your whole body, you are a first-class martial artist.

Zhao Qingfeng's inner family cultivation is a first-class martial artist level.

"Lord Zhao's inner family cultivation is so profound. Wang Xu glanced at Zhao Qingfeng, "It's rare for a civil official to have such a martial arts cultivation as an adult." ”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head and said, "Governor Wang has won the prize." Zhao's internal cultivation is nothing in front of you. Governor Wang is a peerless grandmaster, and his sword skills are the first in the White Lotus Sect. There are not many grandmasters in the world who can defeat Governor Wang. ”

Wang Xu said with a smile: "I am different from Lord Zhao, the White Lotus Sect attaches great importance to martial arts cultivation, and if you want to become a high-level, if you can't do martial arts, you will definitely not be able to ascend." Twenty years ago, the first-class martial artists in the sect could compete for a helmsman. But not now. Now if you want to be the helmsman of a province, your martial arts cultivation must reach the grandmaster level. If Wang hadn't been able to pass with his sword skills, the position of the governor of the Guangzhou Concession would not have been my turn. ”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded.

He had also heard about the situation of the White Lotus Sect.

Since Chen Ji sat on the position of sect leader, the White Lotus Sect has paid great attention to cultivating the "martial spirit" of the people under his command. The Minglun Hall under the command of the White Lotus Sect was originally an institution for educating children to read, but now the time for teaching martial arts in the Minglun Hall is longer than the time for reading and learning literature. Such a situation, in the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was unimaginable.

Poor and rich in martial arts.

If you want to practice martial arts, you must have an adequate supply of nutrients. Under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ninety percent of the people were still struggling on the line of life and death, and it was difficult to eat, where did they have the energy to study and practice martial arts?

Wang Xu pointed to the front and said, "Lord Zhao, with our speed, we will be able to enter Hainan in half an hour." When you arrive in Hainan, I treat you to an authentic Hainanese-style seafood feast. ”

Hainan is close to the sea, in addition to the relatively developed agriculture, the fishing industry is also popular. After Chen took over Hainan Island, the people here quickly became rich, and if they wanted to eat seafood, ordinary people could do it.

But if you want to make an authentic Hainanese-style seafood feast, you still need a chef.

Zhao Qingfeng said loudly: "Okay." Then Zhao thanked Governor Wang for his hospitality. ”

When I arrived at Hainan Island, the atmosphere around me was obviously completely different from that in the Qing Dynasty. Here, everywhere is full of life and a thriving scene.

"Xanadu!"

Zhao Qingfeng looked at the crops, small bridges, flowing water, and people on both sides of the road.

Everything is so harmonious, everything is so beautiful.

The shepherd boy rides on the back of the ox and plays the flute from time to time, which adds a bit of childlike fun to the surroundings.

When the four of them rode through a small village, the surrounding villagers were not afraid in the slightest, and some people even came to invite them to eat and stay overnight.

Zhao Qingfeng said: "The folk customs are simple. I didn't expect the people here to be so hospitable. Governor Wang, the sun is going to set, or we will stay in the village for one night and have a light meal. See you tomorrow. ”

Wang Xu glanced at Zhao Qingfeng and said, "You don't eat seafood dinner?" Also, you said that the people here are simple and simple, that's not wrong. But if you want to say that the people are hospitable, that's not necessarily true. They invited us to eat and stay, and they wanted to collect money, you think we can eat and live for nothing. ”

The business atmosphere of Hainan Island is also strong, although it is not as good as Guangzhou, but the people here will still find ways to make money.

Villages along official roads, large or small, generally have small farmhouse restaurants and inns.

Zhao Qingfeng said with a smile: "The seafood feast will be eaten in the future." It's also good to change the taste once in a while and eat some country food. ”

Wang Xu nodded and said, "Okay." You are a guest and listen to you. ”

....................................

Wang Xu took Zhao Qingfeng into the farmhouse restaurant in the village, the boss's surname is Niu, he is a thin middle-aged man, his wife is washing vegetables in the kitchen, and there is a teenager and a half-year-old in the house, who should be the son of Boss Niu.

"Baby,, here's a guest. Hurry up and make a fire, I'll stir-fry. Boss Niu shouted loudly.

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the kitchen: "Got it, head of the house." ”

Boss Niu said to Wang Xu and Zhao Qingfeng: "Four guest officers, sit casually." The menu, written right on the wall. If you want to eat something else, my old cow can make it, and you can also make it for the guest officer. ”

Wang Xu said with a smile: "Boss Niu, let's serve all the signature dishes in your store." Also, two jars of good wine, rice must be enough. ”

Boss Niu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the guest officer, the wine is brought back from the county, and it is definitely good wine." Rice must be enough for you to eat. Today, you will taste my old cow's skills, not me bragging it, those chefs in the county, the skills may not be as good as my old cow. ”

When Boss Niu walked to the kitchen door, he turned his head and glared at the half-sized child, and said coldly: "Little cub, you got out of school today and haven't practiced yet." You don't practice yet, when are you going to practice?"

The half-eldest son nodded hurriedly and said, "Got it, Dad." ”

After Wang Xu and Zhao Qingfeng sat down, the scholar didn't dare to do it. After all, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a difference between respect and inferiority, and the rules could not be messed up. It is impossible for a slave to eat at the same table as his master.

Wang Xu beckoned and said, "Come and sit and have a meal, where is there so much exquisiteness." ”

Zhao Qingfeng said: "Listen to the governor, come and sit." ”

Zhao Qingfeng spoke, and the scholar dared to sit down.

Even if he sat down, he hung half of his butt outside the stool, looking at the scholar's uneasy appearance, Wang Xu shook his head secretly. Those in power in the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not treat slaves as human beings at all.

Before the food was served, there was a sound of a single knife cutting through the air outside.

The special combat team member sat next to Wang Xu and said with a smile: "Lord Governor, look, that kid is not practicing your sword skills. This kid has been practicing martial arts for less than a year, and he didn't expect that his foundation would be so solid, and he will definitely be a master of swordsmanship in the future. The subordinates dared to conclude that this kid must be a top student in Minglun Hall. ”

Wang Xu glanced at the half-grown boy who was practicing swordsmanship in the small courtyard, nodded and said, "Yes, it is the special knife technique used by Jinyiwei back then." This complete set of sword techniques, which has been divided into a primary version and an advanced version by the sect master, has been implemented in the Minglun Hall. Students who like swordsmanship can choose to practice this set of swordsmanship. This kid's knife skills are good, and he is a good seedling for knife practice. ”

The scholar watched the half-eldest son practice swordsmanship, with a look of envy, it was obvious that he had no status in the Zhao family and was not qualified to practice martial arts.

Zhao Qingfeng's face changed slightly, and he said: "Governor Wang, I'm afraid it's not good for us to watch others practice martial arts so openly." You must know that stealing other people's martial arts is taboo in the martial arts world. ”

Wang Xu and the special combat team members glanced at each other and smiled.

Wang Xu said: "Lord Zhao, you are an official in the Manchu court, and you may not know enough about our White Lotus Sect. Martial arts are all different paths to the same end, and when they are cultivated to the highest level, the effects are almost the same. Our sect leader said that there is no strongest martial art in this world, only the strongest martial artist. Most of the martial arts of the White Lotus Sect are public, and they are available in the library of Minglun Hall. Jin Yiwei's set of sword skills, after being perfected by the sect leader and the White Crane Dao Leader, can be regarded as a real superior sword technique. If Lord Zhao wants to learn, I can pass it on to you now. ”

Martial arts are not exclusive to individuals, but the essence of the nation, which can be learned by everyone. But if you want to achieve something in martial arts, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Just like the Tai Chi of later generations, the old grandfathers and old ladies in the park almost all know how to play with both hands, but there are very few strong people who can practice Tai Chi to the point of being superb.

It can be said that there is no one in ten thousand.

Zhao Qingfeng was very depressed in his heart, and even a little out of breath, the people under the command of the White Lotus Sect were almost all martial arts. Decades later, the entire White Lotus Sect is afraid that martial arts powerhouses are all over the place. At that time, where should the Qing Dynasty go?
