Astral Apostle Chapter 149: Wujiazhuang
There was no one around in the woods, so Zhou Jing practiced the basic training method by the way.
Although I don't know if there is any extraordinary in the current world, but I don't have to try my luck to find it. The training method of the martial arts system in the main world is just a major.
Zhou Jing used the body of the No. 4 apostle to start training, and soon there was training information. The martial arts system did not have too much power conflict with the current plane.
He is rich in the star realm, and he directly accelerated the practice of the basic training method and the Zhongping marksmanship.
In addition, the panel also shows that you have triggered the First Time Achievement, which is a recurring achievement that you can get every time you enter the New Star Realm.
Rewards 100 Astral Points and a skill version "Quick Language Analysis", he is no stranger to both, and both are stored in the warehouse.
After doing all this, Zhou Jing Shi Shiran walked out of the woods.
The location he designated for the launch should be a safe place according to the data of the main world. There is a village nearby, and he plans to start with this to explore the changes in this world.
"Last time the main world and this astral world met, it was still a chaotic world. Later, a man who fell from the sky completed the great cause of unification and established the Great Xia Dynasty. At the end of the confluence period, this dynasty was not long after it was established, and it was thriving. Now the second meeting, I don’t know how many years have passed here, what is the state of this dynasty…”
Zhou Jing thought as he walked along the dirt road.
After walking for about half an hour, a large earthen wall surrounded by hundreds of green trees jumped into view. Smoke from the cooking smoke wafted from it, but it was a village. .
There are several dirt roads extending around the village. Occasionally, donkey carts and squatters come and go, but it is not lacking in popularity.
There are large fields outside the village, and many farmers with yellow faces and thin skin are shirtless, cultivating the fields.
There is a stone tablet on the side of the road with the words "Wujiazhuang" engraved on it.
Zhou Jing does not understand the language of this world, but in the information given by the explorer course, the place names are annotated in the common language of the main world and the text of the plane. , and confirmed that it is the village where it was developed by itself.
"It looks quite prosperous, go in and have a look."
He frowned and walked down the road to the village.
The closer you get to the village, the more villagers and passersby around him, and the more people notice Zhou Jing, and they can't help but frequently look at him in surprise.
Even the farmers working in the nearby fields stopped their farm work one after another. They straightened up and looked at Zhou Jing, who was strutting on the road, and did not dare to approach.
It's not that Zhou Jing's behavior is out of line, but that his appearance is different. Such a burly and strong man is really rare, and he is more than a head taller than ordinary people.
He has messy hair like a lion's mane, thick eyebrows and big eyes, masculine and powerful, and looks like a tiger's eyes. Dressed in yellow short brown, the sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, the muscles of the forearms are knotted, and the big fan-like knuckles are distinct. He wears a black belt around his waist, his legs are wrapped around his legs, and there are mud spots. With a curved branch like a stick on his shoulders, he walked like a dragon, and all pedestrians retreated, as if a beast descended the mountain, and a liger came out of the forest!
Although it is eye-catching, there is no one blocking the road. Zhou Jing walked into the village and looked around, and found that the village was not small, but the layout was clear at a glance.
In the middle of the village is a large Zhuangzi surrounded by high walls. There are circles and circles of simple thatched cottages, most of which are farmer's residences.
In addition, there are many inns, restaurants, teahouses and other shops in the village to rest and rest for passers-by who travel from south to north. This Wujiazhuang may be located at the fork of a major traffic road, so there are many people outside the village. , business is not bad.
"According to the data, the population of the Great Xia Dynasty was in the tens of millions at the beginning of the establishment of the country, but now it is no surprise that it has already exceeded 100 million. The civilization of the alien world is primitive, and the Daxia Dynasty on the d19 plane is already a relatively mature farming civilization. This Wujiazhuang, regardless of the area or the number of households, is dozens of times that of Shuangmu Village, almost It’s a small county…”
Zhou Jing secretly made a comparison.
He looked left and right, saw a tea shed at the entrance of the village, and strode over.
As soon as Zhou Jing entered the village, the tea waiter in the tea shed noticed it early, and felt a little scared in his heart. At this time, when he realized that Zhou Jing was approaching, he hurriedly greeted him and put on a smile.
"Guest officer, would you like a bowl of tea soup?"
Zhou Jing arrived for the first time, and he had never learned the language here, so naturally he didn't understand it, but he was already prepared, and even used a "Quick Analysis of Language" which was a reward for the new arrival achievement.
[Unknown language found, language quick parsing skill version used)]
[The name of the mandarin of the Xia Dynasty can be customized when you get the skill)]
[Mastery v2 Proficiency]
Zhou Jing didn't sit down either, standing outside the tea shed with a stick on his back, and asked directly without using words to cover up
"Old man, I have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and I don't hear about the world. Today, I am going out of the mountains. I have something to ask. What dynasty is today? Is it still the Great Xia?"
The tea waiter was startled, and almost wanted to come up and cover Zhou Jing's mouth, but after looking at the difference in body shape between the two, he still took his heart, and said tremblingly, "Oh, the guest officer is careful, today is the world of the imperial court, which one is something else"
Zhou Jing pulled the bitter gourd-faced old teakeeper for a while, and had a general idea of the current situation.
The current Great Xia Dynasty has lasted for one hundred and sixty years. It has been more than one hundred years since the last meeting of the main world. There were several battles with the surrounding foreign races in the middle. There were both victories and losses. The map is a little out of date and there are errors in the border areas.
However, the area designated by myself is a rich and prosperous place in the south of the Central Plains of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is far from the border. The main world map is still valid, and the general direction is definitely fine. There are at most small errors, such as the disappearance or rise of some small villages in the changes of more than 100 years, which is inevitable.
Zhou Jing remembered it in his heart, thought about it, and asked again how the world was.
After all, Apostle No. 4 "has great ambitions". Since he has plans to rebel, he intends to first understand the current people's livelihood environment before making plans.
Hearing this, the teakeeper smiled wryly
"Now in this world... sigh, it would be nice to be able to eat a bite of food alive. How dare we, the lower Liba people, dare to say anything."
Zhou Jing raised his brows and grabbed the teakeeper's arm, "Old man, tell me more."
The tea waiter was not very happy, but he didn't dare to go against this big man who looked like he was not easy to mess with at first glance.
After hearing this, Zhou Jing refined it in his heart, and then he had a general understanding of the situation, which was not surprising.
I have received compulsory education, studied history, and the Great Xia Dynasty has been in the country for 160 years. The current situation is not new, it is nothing more than those common problems in the last years of the feudal dynasty.
The emperor is foolish, the traitor is in power, the land is merged, the people are struggling to live... and it's just a matter of natural and man-made disasters!
'It's okay, at least the uprising is in line with the times, not a complete chaos in the world...
Zhou Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The purpose of the apostle's life is not mandatory, and if it goes too far against his will, he will not be happy. If today is a peaceful and prosperous age, it would be a bit embarrassing to rebel.
Fortunately, it is a dark and chaotic world, and there is no psychological pressure to do things.
At this time, Zhou Jing's heart moved and asked, "Old man, I see that the stone tablet at the entrance of the village says that this is Wujiazhuang. I'm new here, and I don't know the rules of this place. Please tell me about it."
Seeing that the big man is no longer entangled in the problems of the court, the teakeeper breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a low voice
"This Wujiazhuang is a big family in this area, raising five or six hundred farmers. This area covers thousands of mu of land, all of which belong to Wujiazhuang. Most of the farmers in this village are tenant farmers and rely on the Wu family to earn food and drink.
The old lady of the Wu family is famous and is the owner of the village. He has four sons under his knees. Married into a big family somewhere in the prefecture, but I don't know the specifics.
There are no other rules here. As long as they are not criminals, they can come and go at will. If they are too shy, they can also stay in the village. "
Zhou Jing nodded and suddenly asked, "That old man, what evil did this Wujiazhuang do?"
The teakeeper changed his face immediately, glanced left and right in a hurry, and then said unpleasantly, "Go! You idle person, do you want to buy tea soup? If you don't buy it, don't talk to me!"
After speaking, he stopped talking, turned back to the tea shed, and made tea by himself.
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and didn't care about the teakeeper. He carried branches and sticks to himself, and wandered around the village, looking left and right, his strong muscles were always eye-catching .
As he wanders, he considers what to do next.
'Inquiring about news, practicing martial arts, these are all important...but the real priority is to make money! I'm broke now, I can't even afford a meal without getting any money. ’
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
Work for money? It's possible, but I'm afraid it will be a bit of a waste, and there seems to be no shortage of workers in this village.
Stealing? With the personality of the No. 4 apostle, doing so would probably lose the synchronization rate.
Maybe you can stay in Wujiazhuang, and show your superiority a little bit. It shouldn't be difficult to exchange some money... But, with the violent personality of "Chen Feng", I'm afraid it is not suitable to rely on others.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Jing made a decision considering the social atmosphere and cultural background of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Let's be self-reliant first, try street art!
The hand-playing style is not suitable for me, this apostle will have a set of middle-level marksmanship, which is still at the beginner level.
Although Zhou Jing had memorized sword skills, he could use them, but Apostle No. 4 had no muscle memory, so he might be a little stumped when he played them, and his sword skills were based on actual combat, and there were no tricks.
"Just work hard and use your 26-point physical strength."
Zhou Jing had something to worry about, and immediately left the village.
He searched for a while and found an oval boulder about the height of a human being. Under the curious onlookers of the children, he pushed the stone all the way back to the village and stopped in a street where people came and went.
Zhou Jing patted the boulder, put down his face, and shouted loudly
"The old saying is good, rely on friends when you go out, folks and fathers, I passed the treasure land and exhausted all my entanglements, so I had to perform here. I hope everyone who has money will make money, and those who have no money will make money!"
In the feudal era, entertainment was limited and street performers were not uncommon. Even in such a village, it was common for the villagers to do so.
As soon as I heard this funny thing, even pedestrians stopped and watched curiously.
In the tea shop and wine shop on the street, many customers turned their heads and looked over.
As soon as they saw Zhou Jing's appearance, many people's heart skipped a beat, secretly calling out a strong man with Confucius and martial arts, and immediately became interested.
Zhou Jing shouted several times again, and more and more passersby gathered around, and the village soon became lively.
At the same time, a group of three people entered the village and walked on the street.
The forerunner was a middle-aged man with two thin beards on his lips and a line of goatee under his jaw. He wore a robe and held a folding fan. He seemed to be an elegant scholar.
There is a man and a woman next to him. The man is a middle-aged man. His body is tall and straight, like a green pine tree. His shoulders are wide and his bottom narrow, and his waist is like a wolf. Two long objects wrapped in sackcloth are hanging on his back.
The woman is a heroic girl, with brows and eyes vaguely similar to those of a middle-aged man, like a pair of brothers and sisters, with long hair tied around her waist and a short knife pinned to her waist.
None of them look ordinary.
"This Wu family village is prosperous, and the owner of the village is kind and generous... Master, do we want to pay a visit?"
The middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged scribe and asked in a low voice.
The middle-aged scribe shook his fan, "No need, this is not our place, and rushing to pay a visit may cause trouble."
The middle-aged man scratched his head, "I had a friend who received assistance from the old village owner Wu a few years ago, so there should be no problem."
The middle-aged scribe tapped him with a folding fan and said helplessly
"People are separated from each other. Which of these big local households has something to do with the officials? If people suddenly get up and take us over to the officials, so what? ."
At this time, the heroic woman on the side snorted coldly and echoed, "Master is right, these local wealthy families, who have worked hard to make great achievements, what kind of good people can there be? Helping passers-by is just a matter of fighting for a good name, If you have a good relationship, you won't be able to beat the autumn wind just like others."
"Okay, okay, let's find a restaurant to rest, right?"
The middle-aged man's tone was embarrassing.
"Well, but eat less wine." The middle-aged scribe laughed.
At this moment, a loud noise entered the ears of the three.
The middle-aged man stretched his neck and said in surprise, "Master, Amei, there is someone performing tricks in front of you!"
The heroic woman's face changed, and she seemed interested, but she didn't move, and turned to look at the middle-aged scribe.
Seeing this, the middle-aged scribe snapped away the folding fan and said with a smile, "It's okay to take a look."
The three of them followed the lively and came to the performing arts place. At this time, the three floors were already surrounded by people, and there was an open space in the middle.
A big man was shouting, it was Zhou Jing.
Seeing Zhou Jing's fierce and brave appearance clearly, the three of them were shocked.
The middle-aged man's eyes are full of brilliance "What a man! He doesn't look like an ordinary person!"
The middle-aged scribe also looked surprised and whispered, "This man is fierce, I'm afraid he's not a strong man from some cottage?"
"What kind of art is he trying to sell?" The heroic woman couldn't help but be curious when she saw that there were no other utensils in the field, only a boulder as tall as a human being.
At this time, there were idlers in the crowd, who shouted at Zhou Jing with a smile
"Wu that man, you have been shouting for a long time, but you have no costumes and no guns, but what kind of art are you selling?"
Zhou Jing patted the stone beside him and laughed, "I don't have any skills, but I have a lot of strength. Let's see if I can lift this boulder."
As soon as the voice fell, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
This rock is huge, and seeing that there are no four or five people who can't lift it, the first reaction of the audience is disbelief.
The heroic woman is also skeptical.
The middle-aged scribe has a smile that "I've seen through everything long ago, hehe joking
"It turned out to be hard work, but it's usually fishy work. Most of the stone is a specially made one. It looks important, but it's actually hollow inside. ."
"So it is." The heroic woman was stunned.
At this time, however, Zhou Jing raised his hand to stop the commotion and said loudly
"The big guy doesn't want to believe it, and I say it without evidence. Whoever can lift this big stone can go forward and try it, the truth is self-evident!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were idle people who didn't believe in evil, and came out more and more, spit two mouthfuls into the palm of his hand, and then squatted down and grabbed the boulder to lift it up.
However, the idle man exhausted his milk strength, and the stone didn't move a single time, but the man was so strong that a loud fart popped out of his trousers pocket, which caused a lot of laughter, and he hurriedly burrowed his head into the crowd.
Someone started, and six or seven villagers stepped forward to try, but all failed.
At this time, the middle-aged man's hands were itchy, and he came out more and more, and clasped his fists at Zhou Jing, "I'm invited by a hero, I want to try it next time."
Zhou Jing glanced at him and said casually, "You can do it yourself."
The middle-aged man did not smear any ink. He squatted down and grabbed the stone and exerted strength. His face gradually turned purple, and blue veins appeared on his forehead.
The boulder shook slightly, and was actually lifted a few inches by him.
But then the man couldn't hold it anymore, and quickly withdrew his hand, and the stone fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this scene, the onlooker village husband couldn't help but moved slightly and whispered.
“Someone can actually lift it.”
"Although it only lifted a few inches, it is still very powerful."
Zhou Jing was a little surprised and couldn't help but treat her differently.
The stone he deliberately picked, even if it is a strong man among mortals, it is impossible to lift it. The strength of this strong man is really not small,
It is estimated that it is not an ordinary person.
Here, the middle-aged man took two breaths, mixed his breath, clenched his fists at Zhou Jing, and returned to his two companions.
"Brother, you are really strong." The heroic woman praised.
"It's a pity I can't lift it." The strong man sighed, "It's too heavy. I guess there are very few people in this world who can lift it completely."
Seeing this, the middle-aged scribe was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is this thing really a stone?"
"It's genuine." The middle-aged man nodded.
Just when the three of them were secretly surprised, Zhou Jing felt that the heat had arrived and said loudly
"Everyone has tried it, and you know that this is a real stone. If I can lift it, I hope you will spare no money."
Hearing this, the audience responded one after another, and some good people laughed and booed.
"I want to see how you lift it!"
"Can't you lift it and lose money?"
Zhou Jing didn't answer, the corners of his mouth twitched, and under the eyes of the public, he squatted down with his knees bent, holding both sides of the bottom of the boulder with both hands.
Just as everyone held their breaths, a roar like a tiger roared.
"Get up!"
The entire boulder rises into the air.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the stone flew straight up several meters.
—More than just lifted it up, and threw it into the sky!
At the highest point, the stone that flew a few meters suddenly fell back.
Zhou Jing held the sky with both hands and caught the boulder that was close to a person's height. A circle of smoke and dust slammed under his feet, but his whole body was steady, not even shaking.
The shocked expressions of the crowd instantly froze on their faces.
Crack!
The middle-aged scribe broke the folding fan~IndoMTL.com~ and his eyes almost flew out.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide and nearly dislocated his jaw.
The heroic woman gasped, her scalp tingling.
The three looked at Zhou Jing as if they were looking at a ghost!
The audience was silent for only a second, and then the applause sounded.
"Good!!"
The crowd flushed, clapped their hands vigorously, and cheered excitedly.
At the same time, the three middle-aged scribes couldn't help but glanced at each other, and they could see the horror in each other's eyes.
The middle-aged man personally tried the weight of the boulder, and he couldn't believe it at this time.
"Good skills! Even the 'Heaven King', who is known as the No. 1 expert in the Green Forest, doesn't have such divine power! If I put him right, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of ten!"
"Is this still human?" The heroic woman's expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
On the contrary, the middle-aged scribe who has been calm all the time, at this time, as if drunk, his face is flushed with excitement, and his excitement is unbearable
"I didn't expect to meet such a hero in such a small place, how can I not make friends?! If you can invite him to the mountains to gather together, you can beat the invincible hand in the southern green forest!!"
