Chapter 115

North of Reef Village.

On a slightly flat reef among the abrupt and messy reefs, two corpses dressed in soap were placed side by side.

"The clothes are made of cotton, linen and a little silk, but there are no chemical materials, and the workmanship is very fine. It should look like a standard dress."

In front of the two corpses, Yang Chufu first checked the clothes of the soap-clothed man with leopard head and eyes around him, and then groped around him.

A metal token, a dagger, some scattered silver and a string of copper plates engraved with "Martial Arts Great Contest".

In addition, Yang Chu found a booklet on the body of the man in soap with leopard head and ring eyes.

On the cover of the booklet, there are four big characters "Liuyun Sanshou" written in a script similar to official script.

For Yang Chu, the clerical script was basically not too difficult to read. When he opened the book, he soon found that this "Liuyun Sanshou" contained rich pictures and texts, and recorded a set of boxing and kicking martial arts.

Yang Chu flipped through it quickly, then closed the booklet again, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

The set of boxing and foot martial arts recorded in the brochure, in Yang Chu's opinion, was ordinary, even crude.

"This should not be some true martial arts, but rather crude boxing kung fu."

Yang Chu leaned down again, and glanced at the body of the shorter and thicker man in soap. This short man's arms were as firm as iron stones. Compared with the other man in soap, only his right arm had changed, which was obviously better. .

This time Yang Chu found not only the token and some miscellaneous items, but also a piece of silk cloth written in words in the other party's inner lining. There were five or six hundred small characters densely written on the silk cloth.

"...The beginning of martial arts begins with training qi. The qi is born with one qi. There are three steps in the method of qi training. The first is breathing, the second is guiding, and the third is penetrating. The breathing is self-conceived After feeling, with..."

Yang Chu quickly read through the five or six hundred small words, and his brain was constantly digesting the information revealed in these hundreds of words.

These five or six hundred small characters are about a true martial art called "Liu Yun Qi Practicing Method".

The content of the talk is that the first step in a warrior's cultivation is Qi training. After Qi training, there should be other realms, but this piece of silk cloth does not write.

It mainly introduces how to cultivate something called "innate oneness".

This innate oneness needs to be integrated into oneself through breathing.Through some exercise methods, let the congenital energy continue to nourish the muscles and membranes, so that the physical fitness is continuously improved.

At this time, the innate qi is in a colorless state, it just keeps growing, accumulating, and penetrating in the body.

Afterwards, as the practice deepens, the innate qi has accumulated enough, and when the practitioner looks inside, he can detect that the innate qi is purple, and it will gradually cover the body, or the arms, or the legs. The wider the coverage, the more perfect it will be.

This is the second stage. At this time, within the range covered by the purple innate qi, the body will be as hard as a rock and iron, and can burst out with extraordinary strength.

In the third step, the purple innate qi that has been cultivated to the extreme covers the whole body, and then the strength can be condensed to condense the purple innate qi in a certain area of ​​the body into a more powerful orange-yellow innate qi. The purple congenitally gradually covered the whole body.

The strong man at this stage, with the blessing of innate strength, the body can be called a humanoid machine, with a punch and a kick that has a huge force of ten thousand catties, and a leap of two legs can cover a distance of 20 meters. It is hard to handle, just like a humanoid monster.

"only……"

Yang Chu stood still on the rock for a while, still puzzled, "What is this innate unity?"

This "Liuyun Qi Training Method", no need to think about it, should come from that Liuyun Martial Art Museum.

But the content described in it only talks about how to cultivate the innate oneness, but it doesn't say what the innate oneness refers to, and how to understand the innate oneness.

Ordinarily, this should be the most basic skill, but this thing is not mentioned at all, it seems to be acquiesced that the practitioner is born with it.

Yang Chu picked up a dagger from one of the soap-clothed men, bent down again, and cut off their fingers, wrists and arms with the dagger.

When the knife cut across, the skin and flesh were slightly tough, but it was far from being as hard as a rock and iron when they fought against Yang Chu at that time.

"So their hands have become as hard as iron, which is the reason for this innate unity?"

Yang Chu stood up straight again, and the curiosity in his eyes became more and more intense.

It can be deduced from the previous "Liuyun Qi training method" that the two should be in the second stage of Qi training, and they can cover the arms with the innate qi, making the arms extremely hard.

Can--

This innate qi has color, but when Yang Chu fought with the two, he didn’t see any color. He cut open the arms and wrists of the two. Although the muscles and bones are tougher than ordinary people, the flesh and blood structure is also the same. Different, let alone see the difference in color.

"It seems that to solve this answer, I have to go to the Liuyun Pavilion in Nanhuan Town to find more 'warriors'."

Yang Chu casually threw the bodies of the two people into the sea below the reef, where sharks were infested, and both of them had flesh and blood wounds, so he didn't need to worry about other things.

Back in Jiaoshi Village, Yang Chu found that the fishing village was still quiet, except for Fang Ahshui standing at the door of his house, his expression full of anxiety.

Seeing Yang Chu come back, there was a look of joy and worry on his face again.

"Ah Shui, in which direction is Nanhuan Town?"

Yang Chu casually threw the two strings of copper coins found from the two men in soap clothes to Fang Ah Shui, and casually asked about the direction of Nanhuan Town.

"Yang... Brother Yang, are you really going?"

Sweat broke out on Fang Ahshui's simple and honest face, he had no idea what Yang Chu wanted to do.

"Don't worry, just tell me where you are."

Yang Chu smiled calmly, saw some fresh fish he had caught with fishbone lying on the floor in front of the door, found one at random, cut it open with a dagger, and stuffed it into his mouth piece by piece inside.

Some of these sea fish taste good when eaten raw, and Yang Chu didn't bother to bake and cook them any more, and began to replenish his physical strength and nutrition quickly.

"You follow the small road to the east of the village entrance and walk southeast. After walking for a while, you will see Jiaonan Village. After walking for a while, we will arrive at Nanhuan Town."

Fang Ah Shui looked at Yang Chu eating fish. After getting along with him for a long time, he knew his habits, and brought out a glass of water that he had prepared earlier, as well as a few common foods such as wild fruits and seaweeds.

"okay, I get it."

Yang Chu swallowed a lot of food whole, and was about to walk outside without stopping.

"Yang... Brother Yang..."

Seeing that Yang Chu was about to leave, Fang Ah Shui couldn't help but yelled again, "Would you...or, I'll go with you. Those two martial arts masters want the fish on my boat, so I can't let you..."

"nothing."

Yang Chu didn't wait for Fang Ah Shui to finish speaking, lightly patted Fang Ah Shui on the shoulder, and then strode out in the direction of the east village entrance.

After leaving the reef village, there is a dirt road more than one meter wide outside, with overgrown weeds on both sides.

Yang Chu didn't walk for long before he saw traces of people's activities around him.

In some weed piles and on the coast, there are rickety, yellow and thin fishermen and people who seem to be looking for wild vegetables, seafood and other food. Almost most of these people are dressed in rags and are extremely poor.

Some children who occasionally ran around were also dark, naked and emaciated.

In some places near the northeast, there are some fields opened up by burning wasteland. There are eleven or twelve-year-old children with bare upper body carrying a wooden plow, and a haggard old man is behind to control the direction to sow seeds.

When passing through the Jiaonan Village that Fang Ahshui mentioned, as far as I could see, just like the Jiaoshi Village, they were all dilapidated wooden sheds, basically barely sheltered from the wind and rain.

This place probably means that the climate may be good, and the autumn and winter seasons are relatively short, otherwise, with the clothes and residences of these people, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death in one winter.

"The lives of the people at the bottom have reached a point where they are not as good as cattle and horses."

Seeing this scene, Yang Chu didn't stop in his footsteps, but he also felt the hardships of that extreme life.

Moreover, this situation did not subside because Yang Chu gradually approached Nanhuan Town, on the contrary, the closer the distance, the more serious the situation.

There are people working in the large fields, but almost all of them are sallow and emaciated, with poor clothing.

No matter the pedestrians you meet on the road or the farmers working in the distance, everyone is dead in their eyes, as if they are a numb body without a soul.

In contrast, Jiaoshi Village, a small fishing village far away from Nanhuan Town, seems to have a pretty good life.

Yang Chu estimated that he had walked fifteen or six miles all the way, and a town near the coast appeared in front of him far away.

At this moment, on the outskirts of Nanhuan Town, there is a large busy construction site.

A large group of naked coolies in black, one by one carrying all kinds of stones and wood, seemed to be building some kind of building.

Outside these crowds, there stood a supervisor holding a leather whip several times in his hand. He was dressed in the same soap clothes as the two men who were beaten to death by Yang Chu.

Yang Chu didn't get too close, the supervisor holding the whip glanced at Yang Chu passing by, but ignored him.

Just looking at the crowd, a coolie who moved slowly suddenly swung the whip in his hand, and the five or six-meter-long whip drew an afterimage in the air, and landed on the coolie precisely with a bang. on the back.

There was a miserable howl, and the whipped coolie hurriedly carried the wood to keep up with the movements of the others.

"This method—"

With a quick glance, Yang Chu saw the sudden explosive power of the soap-clothed supervisor when he swung the whip. It was definitely not so easy to swing such a long whip and hit people with great precision.

Passing through the busy construction site outside Nanhuan Town, the ground in the town suddenly became clean and tidy.

Although there are still many people with pale faces, the clothes are at least barely concealed.

Occasionally, some men and women in soap clothes can be seen on the street, all of them have rosy complexions and dignified appearances. The crowd walking on the road immediately avoids to the sides and bows their heads in salute.

"The hierarchy seems to be very strict."

Yang Chu walked quickly on the street, with his ability to capture information and the clothes on his body, the men and women in soap clothes along the way ignored him.

However, what I saw along the way made me feel more and more the suffocating level gap in the entire Nanhuan Town.

"Warriors in this world feel like nobles with a special status."

Yang Chu glanced hastily, walked through the streets and alleys, and walked towards the direction of Liuyun Pavilion.

The location of Liuyun Hall is easy to find, it is the most central area of ​​Nanhuan Town near the coast.And it did not surprise Yang Chu, it was the tallest and largest building in the entire Nanhuan Town.

The series of buildings surrounding Liuyun Martial Arts Hall are also obviously much more glamorous.

The number of poor and poor people in ragged clothes gradually decreased, and most of the people walking on the streets were decent people.

Various shops such as teahouses, wine shops, trick shops, and cloth shops also appeared and increased in number.

In addition to the people in soap clothes, there are also a small number of people in white clothes. Almost every person in white clothes is surrounded by a group of men and women in soap clothes.

Yang Chu was like most of the low-level people in the town, and most of them bowed their heads and avoided them.

He didn't stop until he got near Liuyun Pavilion.

Liuyun Pavilion, or Liuyun Wuguan, is a large and magnificent building.

There is a square outside the gate, the bluestone pavement, and two ten-foot-tall stone lions in front of the main gate, which almost look like the ancient yamen.

Only men and women in white and soap clothes come and go, and ordinary people in ragged clothes will avoid even if they are ten feet away from the gate.

After Yang Chu looked around, he found that in front of a side door to the west of Liuyun Pavilion, there were a large number of children lining up at the side door.

On the other side of the street not far outside the long queue, there were still a large number of people in ordinary clothes or patches.

It seems that these crowds of onlookers seem to be the families of those children.

"Wow—" A cry sounded from the side door.

A child about thirteen or fourteen years old was dragged out from the back of the neck by a man in soap, and thrown to the ground.

"Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng..."

Immediately, an old woman in the crowd rushed out, threw herself in front of the child, and cried, "A Sheng, are you okay? A Sheng, don't be afraid, mother is here."

"Mother, I can't make it." The child looked up at the old woman with tears all over his face and sobbed.

"If you can't do it, get out of here."

The soap-clothed man looked at the pair of mother and child kneeling on the ground, spit casually, glanced at the long line again, and said viciously, "One chance per person, this is destined by God. You have to cherish the opportunity yourself. If it doesn’t work, just go back obediently. Whoever dares to make any more noise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

"Go home, Ah Sheng, let's go home."

The old woman was frightened by the soap-clothed man, her whole body almost trembled, she dragged the young man on the ground, and walked towards the distant street in desperation.

"What are they doing here?"

Standing in the corner of the crowd, Yang Chu witnessed this scene, his eyes became more and more curious, and he even had a little guess in his heart.
