As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Chapter 27: Tiger Manor
Years later.
In the chilly spring, the ice on the river has not yet completely melted, and the herb collectors in Ping'an Town went into the mountains with their baskets on their backs to start the new year's work.
Deep in the forest, the snow and ice on the wooden roof slowly melted, and several puddles dripped on the ground, where unknown water bugs scurried around...
Under the eaves, a small clay stove was burning, and the tea was gurgling. Jiang Ming was reclined on the bamboo chair, his eyes slightly closed, casually humming a tune from his previous life.
"I'm on the city tower... watching... the mountain scenery... I can hear... chaos outside the city..."
He originally wanted to stay in the town for a few more days, but he didn't expect that just after the new year, many strangers came to Ping'an Town. They wandered around mysteriously all day long. ...
Jiang Ming was too lazy to inquire, so he left the house in the care of A Fei, carried the medicine basket and went into the mountains, practicing boxing and drinking tea every day, leisurely.
The prescription of the martial arts secret medicine that I got was similar to that studied by Jiang Ming, but there are a few herbs that are not found in the mountains, and the medicinal soup that is brewed is always almost interesting...
"But it's much better than a big mess. Drink a bowl of this medicinal soup every day... My current blood is more than three to five times stronger than when I first joined the martial arts, and I am only one step away from a third-rate martial artist. Already."
"It's time to go to Fucheng to learn martial arts..." Jiang Ming exhaled a long breath, stood up from his chair, and there was no point in staying any longer.
One step away, it may also be a natural moat!
Old Zhou Tou wandered all his life in the middle of nowhere, but failed to cross that threshold. Now he has many temples and has been ill for more than a century...
When Jiang Ming walked into the pharmacy, it was almost empty, and most of the medicinal materials had already been carried by him to the drug market to sell.
There were only some rare and expensive medicinal materials left. Jiang Ming stuffed them all into the medicine basket, and prepared to bring them into the city to sell in pharmacies. The price would be four or five times higher than the purchase price in the medicine market.
As for the ten times the fine, he doesn't care at all, anyway, he doesn't plan to go back to be a herbal picker anytime soon...
Jiang Ming took out the money bag from under the bed board again, and weighed it in his hand.
With the money he earned from collecting herbs for the past six months, plus the two windfalls, Jiang Ming's current wealth is nearly two hundred taels of silver, enough to live in Fucheng for a long time.
……
In the early morning of the next day, the cold fog filled the air, and the slanting moon hung in the distance.
"Fourth Master, see you again!" Jiang Ming put a white rabbit back into the mountain and waved his hand.
In winter, wild beasts dormant in the mountains, but Fourth Master Bai has lived until now. After eating the carrots, he also gave him a lot of herbs.
Cuckoo~
The rabbit reluctantly arched its forelegs, then disappeared into the forest...
Jiang Ming also left with the medicine basket on his back, did not return to Ping'an Town, and went directly to Fucheng.
He found a pharmacy, sold all the medicinal materials in the medicine basket, and made more than 20 taels of silver, and then he went straight to Liehuzhuang.
"Lao Zhoutou's crouching tiger boxing was learned from here. If I want to continue learning martial arts... this is naturally the most suitable place."
At the entrance of Liehu Manor, the door was open, and two strong men with strong vitality stood at the door casually, but they looked like two fierce tigers, making people dare not approach at will.
With his luggage on his back, Jiang Ming slowly walked up to the two of them, cupping his hands slightly: "The medicine picker of Ping'an Town——Jiang Ming, come here to ask for a way out."
"Go in." A strong man raised his eyelids and said lightly.
The beginning of spring is the time when the major forces are recruiting people, and Liehuzhuang is no exception. In the past few days, many people have come to sign up and wait for the entrance examination.
Stepping through the two dark and thick gates, Jiang Ming, led by a servant, passed through the front yard, garden and other places, and finally came to a practice square paved with bluestone.
In the square at this time, a dozen or so people of different ages had already gathered, and there was even a dark-skinned woman among them, with thick bones and steady eyes... It could be seen that she had practiced martial arts.
And in front of these people, several people with uniform costumes are fighting and trying.
To be precise, seven or eight people are carrying wooden knives and sticks, and are besieging a big naked man. The big man is full of stubble and is eight feet tall. The oppression was unbearable.
Bang bang bang!
Those wooden knives and sticks smashed on the big man, making an overwhelmed creaking sound. Due to excessive force, a disciple broke the wooden stick into two pieces with a "click".
"See, this is the most powerful headhunter in our village, Mr. Guan Feng, a second-rate warrior!" The servant said to Jiang Ming proudly, "If you are lucky enough to pass the examination, it will be a pleasure to meet Mr. Guan Feng in the future." Remember to salute, you know?"
"I know, I know..." Jiang Ming said quickly, but he smiled in his heart.
Guan Feng's strength is obviously far superior to those of those few people. If he really made a move, he might be able to shoot a large piece of air with a slap. At this time, he deliberately showed off his strength in this way, obviously to show these outsiders...
"Okay, it's time!" Guan Feng seemed to have just seen people like Jiang Ming, and ordered, "Close the door and start today's assessment."
The servant left in a hurry, while Guan Feng turned his head and stared at Jiang Ming and the others.
He is still exuding heat, and no matter who is swept by his tiger eyes, his body will tighten, as if he is being stared at by a fierce tiger that chooses to eat someone~IndoMTL.com~ I know, everyone is here... All to join my Liehu Village! "After Guan Feng made his rounds, Fang Shi said loudly:
"I believe everyone has heard of the rules of this village. No money is accepted from you... If you fail the assessment, even if you send money, this village will not accept anyone!"
"And if you pass the assessment, you will be a member of Liehuzhuang from now on, and you will share weal and woe from now on! In Dayun Mansion... no matter where you are bullied, you can come to me, and this village will definitely stand up for you and seek justice! "
"Okay..." There were enthusiastic shouts in the square, and everyone was very excited, wishing to join Liehu Village immediately.
Jiang Ming also admired it in his heart. This approach is much better than those martial arts gyms in the city that charge ten taels of silver a month...
But... the assessment of Liehuzhuang may not be easy.
Soon, everyone was taken to a narrow side alley.
The alley is two to three meters wide and tens of meters long, and it is filled with wooden dummy posts for practicing exercises.
"This is the 'Wooden Tiger Formation' of my hunting tiger village. Any hunter including me...must practice this formation every day!" The status of the village will be higher!"
"If you pass within one stick of incense, you can pass the assessment and join the village, and if you pass half a stick of incense, you can join the Tiger Hunting Team..."
"Ten breaths pass...you can become a headhunter!"
Hoo~
Such a simple and crude assessment method instantly made everyone short of breath and excited.
You don't need to play tricks, you don't need to make connections, as long as you have enough strength, you can have corresponding interests and status. The seemingly simple rules are enough to impress anyone...
