Simplification of the Dao: From Perfect Archery to Real Immortal

Chapter 1 From the Great Way to the Simple, the Arrow Technique, and the Mucheng
Yu country.

Qingzhou, Mucheng.

It's the end of the year.

On the East Street, people come and go.

On both sides of the street, there are vendors selling vegetables, steamed stuffed buns, tofu, butchers, and noodles, and there are many shops.

There are also those who carry the burden of the shopkeeper and those who sell candied haws.

Crowded.

On the left side of the street, at the door of a small breakfast shop, there is a signboard of 'Zhen Jie Noodle House'.

There were two or three customers sitting in the shop eating noodles.

"Hello, what do you want to eat? I have Yangchun noodles and egg noodles here."

About 23 years old, rich chest, delicate face, the proprietress Zhen Jie who is cooking noodles, enthusiastically attracts customers.

Among the passers-by, a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, with pale wash clothes and a sallow face, hurried towards West Street.

"Changsheng, where are you going?"

Sister Zhen, the proprietress, had sharp eyes and shouted immediately.

"Sister Zhen, I'll get some medicine."

The boy stopped in his tracks, turned his head and agreed.

"Come in and sit down, let's have a bowl of noodles first."

Sister Zhen put down the bamboo net bag for the noodles, and said enthusiastically.

"No, Miss Zhen, I've eaten."

Lin Changsheng shook his head. A bowl of noodles cost four copper coins. He was going to finish the medicine and go back to cook some coarse grains.

It has been more than a month since he traveled here.

Both parents died, leaving three tile-roofed houses and a little savings.

However, this person is thin and sick with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and his savings are almost exhausted. The doctor has not seen the reason, and he has been unable to do anything so far. Do it yourself at home.

Lin Changsheng was once depressed after traveling to become a sick child.

but.

As time passed, he gradually became relieved. It was better than anything else to be able to live and have a good body. If he died again, Lin Changsheng didn't believe he could still travel through time.

"If you eat, then add some more. Sister treats you to eat. The noodles are all cooked, so don't waste them!"

Sister Zhen ran out, grabbed Lin Changsheng's hand, and pulled it in.

"This often eats yours, how embarrassing it is"

Lin Changsheng scratched his head. He had eaten many noodles from Sister Zhen. After all, it is difficult for people to do small business.

"Why are you being polite to my sister?"

Sister Zhen pulled Lin Changsheng into the noodle shop, sat down against the wall, and turned to get noodles.

"Changsheng, come, the face is ready."

After a while, Sister Zhen brought over a bowl of steaming plain noodles, soup, green onion, a few slices of green vegetables, and a marinated egg.

"Sister Zhen, I gave you an extra marinated egg, this"

Lin Changsheng pulled the plain noodles with chopsticks and said.

"It was my sister who invited you, and you have helped me a lot."

Sister Zhen looked at Lin Changsheng and smiled slightly.

"Thank you Miss Zhen."

Lin Changsheng's heart warmed.

in fact.

This Sister Zhen also had a hard life. A man died the year before last, and she opened this Sister Zhen’s noodle restaurant to make a living alone with her children and mother-in-law. For more than a month, whenever she saw him, she would pull him in to eat noodles and find various reasons to treat him.

The so-called help.

Lin Changsheng just helped Yanzhen take care of the child for a few days.

"Sister Zhen, I'm done eating."

After Lin Changsheng ate the noodles in two or three bites, he got up and said something to Sister Zhen.

"Changsheng, come to the noodle shop tomorrow and help me, my sister is too busy selling noodles by herself."

Sister Zhen glanced at Lin Changsheng and said.

"This"

Lin Changsheng heard that his family knew about his own affairs. The body he traveled through was sick. He had been consulted by a doctor for more than a month and hadn’t been cured. !

"Changsheng, don't hesitate, you will come tomorrow morning!"

Seeing Lin Changsheng's concern, Sister Zhen immediately waved her hands.

"Then, thank you Miss Zhen!"

Lin Changsheng nodded, no longer pretentious.

In his current situation, he really needs to find a job, fill his stomach, and live on.

Lin Changsheng bid farewell to Sister Zhen, and just walked out of the noodle shop, three foolish youths with eagle tattoos on their chests walked up to him. The oldest youth, with buck teeth and upturned nose, was about 27 or [-] years old. He looked at Lin Changsheng and said. "Lin Changsheng, it's the end of the month, and it's time to give Yueyin."

Lin Changsheng knew that the buck-toothed youth was a member of the Green Snake Gang in Mucheng. His name was Tie Yang, and he was in charge of collecting protection fees for this street.

"it is good."

Lin Changsheng groped in his pocket for a while, took out 2 copper coins, and handed them to the young man.

The Green Snake Gang occupies Mucheng East Street. Every month, all residents, shops along the street, hawkers, and singers have to pay protection fees of varying amounts.

"The guild leader said that from this month onwards, the monthly silver price will increase."

"You still have to give 1 copper plate."

Tie Yang frowned.

"it is good."

Lin Changsheng's expression remained unchanged, he took out another copper plate and handed it over.

Both parents died in the previous life, and Lin Changsheng left some savings to treat his illness. After more than a month, the illness did not improve, but the savings were almost spent.

No protection fee?
The Green Snake Gang is not easy to talk about. Lin Changsheng heard that a young man was unwilling to give money a month ago because he was young and strong. He was discovered on the third day and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. There was also a singer who was slow to pay. Yes, three broken ribs.

I am sick, and in order to survive in this world, I can only make allowances for it for the time being.

"It's still refreshing, kid!"

"Next month will still be 3 papers! Don't forget!"

Tie Yang patted Lin Changsheng on the shoulder, showing satisfaction, and went door to door to collect protection fees.

"Huh? This is?"

"Goldfinger?"

Suddenly, Lin Changsheng saw a translucent, pale white panel appear in the corner of his eye.

With excitement, Lin Changsheng hurried back to his three tiled huts, locked the door, and then sat on the bed. When he regained consciousness, the light blue panel appeared again.

【Avenue to Jane: Level 1】

【Lin Changsheng: 16/55】

【Repair: None】

[Cultivation method: none]

[Skill: None]

【Consume a certain amount of silver to simplify exercises, martial arts, etc. 】

[Status: Yin Qi invades the body]

"Yin Qi invades the body! No wonder!"

Seeing the status bar on this panel, Lin Changsheng was shocked.

The doctor couldn't cure his illness, so it turned out that he was infected with Yin Qi!
However, with this panel, Yin Qi should be able to get rid of, and the body can hopefully return to normal!

"Consume a certain amount of silver, can you simplify the exercises and martial arts?"

Lin Changsheng looked at the panel and fell into deep thought.

Silver, he didn't have it.

but.

Lin Changsheng remembered that his mother left a pair of dowry jade bracelets, a pair of jade finger rings, and a pair of white jade pendants at the bottom of the box in his previous life. He could take them to the pawnshop for emergency treatment. Before he had no strength, he dared not try. The pawn shop for money must be hidden from Tie Yang of the Green Snake Gang.

He didn't have any martial arts or martial arts.

Martial arts masters keep their own martial arts secret, but if they want to learn martial arts skills and skills, they can go to the iron hand martial arts gym in the city. It is said that as long as they have money, they can enter and obtain the method of imparting martial arts training!

Lin Changsheng heard that the entry fee for Iron Hand Martial Arts is 10 taels of silver.

We have to find a way to get the silver.

Lin Changsheng's home is 2 miles behind Zhenjie's noodle shop.

The next day, before dawn, he came to the noodle shop to help, and the noodle shop could rest in the afternoon.

"Changsheng, go to my house and help me get the rolling pin in the yard."

Sister Zhen met her face, turned her head and said to Lin Changsheng.

"Ok."

Lin Changsheng nodded, and turned to go to Sister Zhen's house. Sister Zhen's house was two miles behind the noodle shop, in a small yard with three tiled houses. He opened the iron gate and looked for a rolling pin in the yard.

"bow?"

Suddenly, Lin Changsheng saw a dusty bow in the corner of the yard. It looked very solid. You know, Lin Changsheng liked bows and arrows when he was a child. Just curious.

Lin Changsheng picked it up, pulled up the empty string, aimed at a distance, made an archery posture, and flicked it casually a few times.

He couldn't put it down to watch the hunting bow again, then put it down, found the rolling pin, and went to the store.

"Would it cost 1 tael of silver to simplify the arrow method when discovering the skill arrow method?"

Suddenly, Lin Changsheng saw a message pop up on the panel in the corner of his eye, and there was a button for 'Yes' and 'No'.

The display on the panel: [Skill: Archery]

"When you flick the bow, you get the arrow skills?"

"Consuming 1 tael of silver, can the arrow method be simplified? After simplifying, what will it be?"

Lin Changsheng's eyes widened, surprised and looking forward to it.

"It seems that I have to take the jade bracelet, jade ring finger, and white jade pendant to the pawnshop in Xicheng to deal with part of it!"

Lin Changsheng thought over and over again, secretly said.

He now only has more than 200 cash.

That jade bracelet.

Once he sells at the East Street pawnshop, Tie Yang will definitely hear the news.

Go to Xicheng, it is not the territory of the Green Snake Gang.

To be on the safe side, he's going to do it in batches.

in the afternoon.

Lin Changsheng wore a big hat and loose clothes, lowered the brim of his hat, took a jade bracelet and a pair of white jade pendants, and went to Shiyu pawnshop in Xicheng, Mucheng, for 7 taels of silver. Follow, and then return to Dongjie's home.

You know, these days, 7 taels of silver is enough for a family of three for a year and a half, so it's better to be cautious.

When he got home, Lin Changsheng couldn't wait to lock the door.

"Simplify archery!"

Lin Changsheng reached out his hand to confirm 'yes'.

[From the road to simplicity: the simplification of the arrow method begins. The simplification is successful during the simplification. The arrow method== touch the bow! 】

After the simplification is successful, a prompt appears on the panel.

【Avenue to Jane: Level 1】

【Lin Changsheng: 16/55】

[Cultivation level: not in the stream 0/100]

[Cultivation method: none]

[Skill: Archery (entry 0/100)]

【Consume a certain amount of silver to simplify exercises, martial arts, etc. 】

[Status: Yin Qi invades the body]

"The progress of the archery skill has been released? Does this mean that as long as you touch the bow, you can improve the progress?"

Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he remembered the bow at Sister Zhen's house. He heard from her that it was used by her man for hunting during his lifetime. Go and get that bow and touch it?
"Changsheng, if you want to practice bow and arrow, take it!"

At Sister Zhen's house, Yanzhen heard that Lin Changsheng wanted the bow that was thrown in the corner, and immediately gave it to Lin Changsheng.

"Thank you Miss Zhen!"

Lin Changsheng took the bow, bid farewell to Yan Zhen, returned home quickly, and tried to touch the bow.

Immediately, he found that the data on the panel had increased by 1 point, [Skill: Archery (Entry 1/100)].

Lin Changsheng immediately took the bow with his left hand and stroked it with his right hand. He saw that his archery skills gradually increased. In a short time, he went from beginner to proficient!
[Skill: Archery (Proficiency 1/500)]

At the same time, a wave of archery skills and methods of experience appeared in Lin Changsheng's mind and merged with his consciousness.

this moment.

Lin Changsheng felt that he was practicing archery for half a year!
At the same time, his eyesight and hearing have also increased a lot, and his strength, it seems, has also increased a little.

"With this great simplicity function, if I get the method of cultivating qi and blood and simplify it, the yin qi invading my body may be able to get rid of it!"

While stroking the bow, Lin Changsheng was full of anticipation in his heart, full of expectations for the future.

Generally speaking.

Yin Qi invades the body, the most feared thing is the strong Qi and blood, if one's Qi and blood are strong enough, the Yin Qi invaded the body can definitely be expelled!
He has had enough of this sick man's life!

blink of an eye.

As the year is approaching, the weather is getting colder.

A heavy snow covered the pastoral city with silver.

There are only a few pedestrians on the street, hurrying, sister Zhen's noodle shop is closed today.

Sister Zhen's noodle shop is a mile away.

【Avenue to Jane: Level 1】

【Lin Changsheng: 16/55】

[Cultivation level: not in the stream (99/100)]

[Cultivation method: none]

[Skill: Archery (Dzogchen)]

【Consume a certain amount of silver to simplify exercises, martial arts, etc. 】

[Status: Yin Qi invades the body]

Lin Changsheng stood in the yard, glanced at the panel, held the bow in his hand, exhausted all his strength, and shot an arrow. With a whoosh sound, a wooden arrow he cut himself shot into the locust tree twenty feet away to a depth of more than an inch. The arrow tail feathers trembled!
"That's right, with my current arrow technique, it should be considered hundreds of steps!"

Lin Changsheng stepped forward and drew the arrow, feeling very satisfied.

The arrow technique was perfect, and Lin Changsheng felt that his energy had increased a lot. Although the state of yin qi invading his body had not been relieved, he was no longer the same as before, and his complexion improved a lot.

"If you want to learn the technique of increasing qi and blood, you must enter the martial arts gym!"

Lin Changsheng secretly made up his mind.

He is going to spend 10 taels of silver as the entrance fee to enter the Iron Hand Martial Arts Gym. As long as he learns one martial art and successfully gets started, it will be simplified!
At present, he still has 6 taels of silver, and he plans to take the time to pawn the pair of jade ring fingers and a jade bracelet in a pawnshop to raise entry fees.

At this time, there was a sound of 'click' sound of snow being stepped on.

"Changsheng, my sister simmered some soup and brought you some, remember to eat it while it's hot."

Sister Zhen was wearing a thick cotton coat, holding the box in her left hand and the cotton coat in her right hand, and handed it to Lin Changsheng, and said again. "Put on this cotton coat after eating."

"Miss Zhen, you."

Lin Changsheng's heart trembled, and a warm current rose from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't expect that Sister Zhen would give him food and cotton clothes at this time.

"Stop talking, just take it. In such a cold day, you are weak and your clothes are so thin. I'm leaving."

Sister Zhen put down her things and left quickly.

Lin Changsheng took a deep breath. Sister Zhen is indeed a kind and good woman.

Sister Zhen sent chicken soup, which was steaming.

Lin Changsheng ate it while it was hot. Although the cotton coat was old, it was clean.

There are still 15 days before the end of the year.

Zhen sister's noodle shop.

"Changsheng, this year you go to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lin Changsheng was about to go home from work and go to the urgent pawn shop in Dongcheng to sell the jade bracelet when Sister Zhen's voice came.

"Thank you, sister. Shopkeeper Yang said he wanted me to go to his house for a New Year's dinner, and we'll talk about it later."

Lin Changsheng said hastily upon hearing this.

Sister Zhen's mother-in-law is so mean, she speaks with a gun and a stick, so if she goes to the New Year's Eve dinner by herself, won't there be a sudden disturbance?

As for Shopkeeper Yang?
That was Lin Changsheng's excuse, but shopkeeper Yang is also very nice.

Although Lin Changsheng is weak, shopkeeper Yang still wants Lin Changsheng to marry his daughter Yang Xiaoqian as his son-in-law.

From shopkeeper Yang's point of view, although Lin Changsheng is thin and thin, he has good facial features. If the food is good, he will definitely be a handsome man.

"OK then!"

Miss Zhen nodded.

After Lin Changsheng got off work, he went to Xicheng in the same way, but this time he didn't go to Shiyu's pawn shop.

Instead, at the urgent pawnshop, he exchanged the remaining jade bracelet and a pair of jade rings for 8 taels and 6 qian, and returned to the East Street in a roundabout way, reconfirming that there was no one there before returning home.

Iron Hand Martial Arts.

It is one of the three major martial arts halls in Mucheng.

The owner of the museum, He Tieshou, is one of the three masters in Mucheng, who cultivates Iron Sand Palm and is rumored to be able to open steles and crack stones!

Different from Jinzhong Martial Arts and Liuyun Martial Arts, the disciples are more skilled than many.

Iron Hand Martial Arts, as long as you pay 10 taels of silver, you can enter and get the Iron Sand Palm, which also makes the Iron Hand Martial Arts much more disciples than the two major martial arts of Liuyun and Jinzhong combined!
Because of the way to make money, the Iron Hand Martial Arts Hall occupies a huge area, and there are two half-foot-tall stone lions at the entrance, which are very powerful.

"Little brother, pay 10 taels of silver, and I will register you in the register and issue a disciple ID card. You will be a disciple of my Iron Hand Martial Arts Gym."

At the entrance of the Iron Hand Martial Arts Hall, He Jin, who was recruiting disciples, looked at Lin Changsheng enthusiastically.

Another money giver came to the door. They are all past the best age for martial arts training. Iron sand palm can't get started for three months. The 10 taels of silver is for nothing. If you want to continue to practice in the martial arts hall, you have to continue to pay the silver.
