Dream Journey from Shaolin

Chapter 38

At the entrance of Datie Village,
Jiang Ming walked in in casual clothes, carrying the corpse of a big black tiger on his back.
This was the first village he encountered after leaving the forest. The whole village was not much different from the Dashi Village he remembered.
There are houses made of mixed stone and mud everywhere. Most of the villagers are relatively strong, but they all wear very simple clothes, mainly coarse cloth and sackcloth.

Since he was carrying the corpse of a big black tiger on his back, he was stopped by a strong man when he entered the gate of the village. Although the man stopped Jiang Ming, his attitude was not too bad.

"Little brother, I'm Tie Zhu, the hunting team captain of the Great Iron Village. I don't think you are from our Great Iron Village. I don't know if you came to our village. What's the matter?"

Jiang Ming threw the big black tiger behind him on the ground casually. The big black tiger weighed more than 500 catties. In Jiang Ming's hands, the big black tiger didn't seem to weigh much. Tie Zhu's eyebrows trembled when he saw it.
"This is a black tiger I hunted in the forest. I want to exchange something with Guicun, and ask about some things by the way!"

Whether it is through Shi Jian's memory or through the mouth of the middle-aged beard and other guards, Jiang Ming clearly knows that this is a world where the strong come first. As long as you are strong enough, you can be respected, and even break through the ranks. bondage,

It's hard to say that you were born as a first-order poor person. If you are strong enough, things like status and status are within your reach.
But in the same way, if you want to become powerful, you must have the resources to become powerful, and most of these resources are in the hands of those with status and status.
Coming to this village with a black tiger on his back is to let people know that he is not an ordinary boy, but a boy with enough strength, so that he can avoid a lot of troubles,
Sure enough, after showing some strength invisibly, Jiang Ming got the information he wanted as he wished, and also got some homemade food from the villagers.
Tie Zhu asked Jiang Ming that the so-called Zhongling County had only been heard of, but he didn't know the exact location.
But he knew that after walking southward from their village for about three days, they would see a town called Ping'an Town.
Because the people in their village often go to Ping'an Town to exchange supplies, and it is said that there is a post station in Ping'an Town, and the carriages of the post station can go north and south. As long as you have money, he can take you wherever you want.
After getting the information he wanted, Jiang Ming didn't stay in Datie Village for long, but set off again in the direction of Ping'an Town.

There are no carriages or horses in the village, not even oxen and donkeys, because they plow the land and pull the mill by themselves.

So the way Jiang Ming went to Ping'an Town was all on two legs. Along the way, when he was hungry, he ate rice balls and jerky from Datie Village. After that, continue on your way,
In this way, it took Jiang Ming less than a day to arrive at the original three-day journey.
At the gate of Ping'an Town, Jiang Ming looked at the ten-meter-high city wall, and couldn't help expressing a burst of emotion.
A mere town has a ten-meter-high city wall. Sure enough, the human beings in this world don't care about such a city wall.
To know my hometown, the height of the walls of the so-called capital city of Chu in ancient times is not much different from the height of the walls of this town.

Following the flow of people entering the town, Jiang Ming felt as if he had returned to the ancient times in the world of Shaolin Temple, with antique architectural groups, various small stalls on the street, and various shops along the street. ,

There were crowds of people on the street. Apart from ordinary people wearing coarse cloth and linen clothes, Jiang Ming also saw many well-dressed young masters and young ladies in bright silk and satin.
Except that the writing on the plaque is not written in Chinese, sometimes Jiang Ming really thinks that this world is a certain time in ancient China,
But although the characters are different, fortunately Shi Jian has learned to read from that Mr. Zhuge, otherwise Jiang Ming would have to learn to read if he wanted to practice kung fu in this world.
To be honest, although Zhuge and his daughter indirectly killed everyone in Dashi Village, they can be regarded as the first teachers of this body.
The first thing Jiang Ming did when he entered the town was not to find an inn for board and lodging, nor a post station to go to the county town, but to find a bookstore.
Because, Yan Wushuang told him that "Great Jin Wulu" can be sold in any bookstore, one tael of silver per copy!
Ping An Bookstore,

As soon as Jiang Ming stepped into the store, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and wearing a white scholar's uniform greeted him.
"Hey, young master, what kind of books do you need to buy? Whether it's four books and five classics, poetry handouts, martial arts skills, martial arts moves, etc., you can find everything!"

"Oh, in addition to the martial artist's skills, there are also warrior moves?"

This Jiang Ming didn't hear Yan Wushuang say that the bookshop also sells martial arts cheats,
"Of course, our bookstore has the number one martial artist in the town, Wind Chaser Wang Meng's "Nine Swords of Chaser Wind" for exclusive sale!"

The bookstore owner saw that Jiang Ming seemed interested, and immediately smiled a little more on his face.

You must know that this town is no better than a county town, there are not many people who can read and write, and the business of the bookstore is not very satisfactory.
"how much is it?"

Jiang Ming asked,

The bookstore owner gave a slap and made a five sign,
"Five taels!"

Jiang Ming did not expect that this book on martial arts moves would be more expensive than martial arts skills.
"My lord, it's 50 taels!"

The bookstore owner was stunned for a moment, then softly corrected Jiang Ming's wrong cognition,
Jiang Ming was startled, it was [-] times more expensive than martial arts. Could it be that the so-called "Nine Swords of Chasing the Wind" is very powerful?

But in his seal, even the so-called "thirteen chops of the great sword" practiced by Uncle Wang of the county magistrate's mansion is very ordinary. How powerful are the martial arts in this town?
However, after thinking about it, he decided to buy a copy. After all, he is not short of that little money, and he can use it as a reference after studying it.
"Okay, take a copy of "Chasing the Wind and Nine Swords", and another copy of "Great Jin Wulu"!"

Jiang Ming nodded, took out a silver coin from his pocket, and threw it to the shop owner. The shop owner took the silver with great joy, then wrapped up two books and handed them to Jiang Ming.
After getting the two books, Jiang Ming immediately found an inn in the town, asked for a room, and stayed there.

After closing the door, Jiang Ming sat on the bed and couldn't wait to open the martial art "Da Jin Wulu" and read it hungrily.
Three hours later, Jiang Ming put away the "Great Jin Wulu", and he had a general understanding of the cultivation of warriors in this world.

"Great Jin Wulu" is a martial art book, which is a little different from what he imagined.
He thought that martial art skills should be similar to the stance or boxing exercises he practiced in Shaolin Temple, but it seems to be a more advanced training method.
But in fact, he doesn't need to do any movement at all, the main thing is to sit quietly!
