Astral Apostle Chapter 149: Wujiazhuang
There was no one around in the woods, so Zhou Jing practiced the basic tempering method by the way.
Although I don't know if there is a transcendence in the current world, I don't need to try my luck to find it. The training method of the martial arts system in the main world is just right as my major.
Zhou Jing started training with the body of the No. 4 apostle, and soon there was training information. The martial arts system did not have much conflict with the current plane.
The astral realm on his body is rich, so he directly opened the practice acceleration for [Basic Tempering Method] and [Zhongping Spear Method].
In addition, the panel also shows that I have triggered the achievement of "Fresh Arrival", which is a recurring achievement that can be obtained every time you enter the New Star Realm.
Reward 100 astral points and a copy of the skill version "Quick Analysis of Language". He is no stranger to both, and both are stored in the warehouse.
After finishing all these, Zhou Jing walked out of the forest Shi Shiran.
The place he designated to put it in should be a safe place according to the information of the main world, and there is a village nearby. He plans to start with this and explore the changes in this world first.
"The last time the main world merged with this star realm, it was still a chaotic world. Later, a macho man from heaven completed his great cause of unification and established the Great Xia Dynasty. At the end of the confluence period, this dynasty had just established a country and was thriving. Now that they meet for the second time, I don’t know how many years have passed here, what is the state of this dynasty...”
Zhou Jing walked along the dirt road while thinking.
After walking for about half an hour, a large earthen wall surrounded by hundreds of green trees came into view, and there was a curl of cooking smoke in it, but it was a village...
Several dirt roads extend around the village, and occasionally donkey carts and peddlers come and go, which is not lacking in popularity.
Outside the village is a large field, and many sallow and emaciated farmers are shirtless and farming in the fields.
There is a stone tablet on the side of the road with the words "Wujiazhuang" engraved on it.
Zhou Jing doesn't understand the language of this world, but in the information given by the explorer course, the place names are annotated with the common language of the main world and the language of the plane. He did his homework earlier, and now he just knows this character , Confirmed that it was the village that I planned to put in.
"It looks quite prosperous, go in and have a look."
He frowned and walked towards the village along the road.
The closer you are to the village, the more villagers and passers-by around you, and the more people notice Zhou Jing, they can't help casting surprised glances frequently.
Even the farmers working in the nearby fields stopped their farm work one after another, straightened their waists and looked at Zhou Jing who was swaggering on his way from a distance, not daring to approach him.
It's not that Zhou Jing's behavior is out of line, but that his appearance is different. Such a burly and brave man is really rare, and he is more than a head taller than ordinary people.
With messy hair like a lion's mane, thick eyebrows and big eyes, masculine and mighty, looking like a tiger's gaze. Dressed in yellow and short brown, the sleeves are rolled up to the elbows, the muscles of the forearms are knotted, and the big hands like cattail fans are well-defined. There was a black belt around his waist, and his legs were bound and stretched, with mud splashes, and he was dusty. With a curved branch like a stick on his shoulders, all pedestrians retreat, just like a beast descending a mountain, a lion and a tiger come out of the forest!
Although it was eye-catching, there was no one blocking the way. Zhou Jing walked into the village, 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 Dazhuangzi surrounded by high walls. It looks like a local landlord's house, covering a large area. There are circles and circles of simple thatched huts scattered around, most of which are farmers' residences.
In addition, there are many inns, restaurants, teahouses and other shops in the village, for passers-by to rest and rest. This Wujiazhuang may be located at a fork of a major traffic road, so there are many outsiders in the village , business is not bad.
"According to the data, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the population was tens of millions. Now if there is no accident, it may have exceeded 100 million. The population is much larger than that of the world of alien beasts. Dozens or hundreds of times. The civilization of the Alien Beast World is primitive, and the Daxia Dynasty on the d19 plane is 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 around, saw a tea shed at the entrance of the village, and strode over.
As soon as Zhou Jing entered the village, the tea shepherd in the tea shed had noticed it early, and felt a little scared in his heart. At this moment, he found Zhou Jing approaching, and he hurried up to meet him with a smile on his face.
"Guest officer, would you like a bowl of tea soup?"
Zhou Jing is a newcomer here, so he didn't know the language here, so he naturally didn't understand it, but he was prepared, and immediately used a "quick language analysis" that was rewarded by the [New Arrival] achievement just now.
An unknown language has been found, [Language quick analysis] has been used
You have obtained the skill [Big Xia Dynasty Mandarin]
Level of mastery: lv2-
Zhou Jing didn't sit down either, but stood outside the tea shed with a stick on his shoulders, and asked directly without using words:
"Old man, I have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and I don't know anything about the world. I came out of the mountains today, and I have something to ask. What dynasty is it now? Is it still the Great Xia?"
The tea waiter was taken aback, and almost wanted to come up and cover Zhou Jing's mouth, but after looking at the difference in figure between the two, he still listened to his heart, and said tremblingly: "Oh, guest officer, be careful, today is the world of the imperial court, which one?" and others"
Zhou Jing pulled the bitter-faced old tea waiter and talked for a while, getting a general idea of the current situation.
The current Great Xia Dynasty has lasted for one hundred and sixty years, and it has been more than a hundred years since the main world converged last time. During the period, several battles were fought with the surrounding foreigners. There were victories and losses. Maps are somewhat outdated and have errors in border areas.
However, the area I designated to put it in is a rich land in the south of the Central Plains of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is far away from the border. The map of the main world is still valid, and the general direction must be no problem. There are at most some small errors, such as the disappearance or rise of some small villages during the changes of more than a hundred years, which is unavoidable.
Zhou Jing kept it in his heart, thought about it, and asked how the world was going.
After all, the fourth apostle has "big ambitions". Since he has a plan to rebel, he plans to understand the current living environment of the people before making any plans.
Hearing this, the tea waiter smiled wryly:
"Now in this world... Alas, it would be nice to be able to eat a bite of food alive. We Xialiba people, how dare we speak nonsense."
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and grabbed the tea waiter's arm: "Old man, be careful."
The tea waiter was not very happy, but he didn't dare to disobey this big man who seemed to be easy to provoke at first glance, so he could only hesitate and haw, but it aroused his own pain, and sighed from time to time.
After listening, Zhou Jing refined it in his mind and got a general understanding of the situation, which was not too surprising.
At any rate, I have received compulsory education and history classes, and the Great Xia Dynasty has been in the country for 160 years. The current situation is not new, it is nothing more than the common problems of the last years of the feudal dynasty.
The emperor is stupid, the treacherous ministers are in power, the land is annexed, and the people are in dire straits... just a few natural disasters and man-made disasters will make them live together!
'It's okay, it's okay, at least the uprising is in accordance with the time, not a complete disaster in the world...
Zhou Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The goal of the apostle's life is not mandatory, and if it is too contrary to his own wishes, then he is not happy. If today is a time of peace and prosperity, the rebellion would be a bit of a shame.
Fortunately, it is a dark and chaotic world, so there is no psychological pressure to do things.
At this time, Zhou Jing's heart moved, and he asked: "Old man, I see that the stone tablet at the entrance of the village says that this place is Wujiazhuang. I'm new here and I don't know the rules here. Please tell me."
Seeing that the big man no longer pestered the court, the tea waiter heaved a sigh of relief, and replied in a low voice:
"This Wu family village is a big family in this place, with five or six hundred farmers. The thousand acres of land in this area are all the property of Wu family village. Most of the farmers in this village are tenant farmers on the village, relying on the Wu family to earn food and drink.
The old lady of the Wu family, named Changgui, is the owner of this place. He has four sons under his knees. The eldest son studies, the second and third practice martial arts, and the fourth son is still young. Married into a wealthy family somewhere in the state capital, but I don't know the details.
There are no other rules here, as long as you don't commit crimes, you can come and go as you like, and if you are short-sighted, you can also stay on the farm. "
Zhou Jing nodded, and suddenly asked: "Old man, has this Wu family village ever done anything evil?"
The tea attendant immediately changed his face, glanced to the left and right hastily, and then said unhappy: "Go! You idler, do you want to buy tea soup? If you don't buy it, don't argue with me!"#
After that, he stopped talking, turned around and went back to the tea shed, making tea by himself.
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and didn't bother with the tea waiter, he just started to wander around the village with a stick on his shoulders, looking left and right, his muscular body was always eye-catching .
As he strolled around, he considered what to do next.
'Finding news and practicing martial arts are very important...but the real priority is to make money! I am penniless now, and without some money, I can't even afford a meal. ’
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
Working to earn money? It's possible, but I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste, and there seems to be no shortage of workers in this village.
Steal? With the personality of the No. 4 apostle, doing so might cause a loss of synchronization.
Perhaps you can stay in Wujiazhuang, and show a little bit of your own superiority, and it shouldn't be difficult to exchange some money... However, with "Chen Feng"'s violent personality, I'm afraid it's not suitable for him to live under others.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Jing made a decision considering the social atmosphere and cultural background of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Be self-reliant first, try street art!
The style of juggling is not suitable for me, so this apostle can use a set of average marksmanship, which is still at the level of beginners.
Although Zhou Jing memorized the saber skills, it was possible to use them, but the No. 4 apostle didn't have muscle memory, so he might stumble a bit when playing, and his own saber skills were all adapted to actual combat, and he didn't have any fancy moves.
"Just work hard and give full play to your 26 points of physical strength."
Zhou Jing thought about it and left the village immediately.
He searched for a while, and found an oval boulder that was about the height of a person. Under the curious crowd of young children, he pushed the stone all the way back to the village, and stopped on a street full of people.
Zhou Jing patted the boulder, lowered his face, and shouted loudly:
"The old saying is good, rely on friends when you go out, folks and elders, I passed by a treasure land, and I ran out of money, so I had to perform here. I hope everyone who has money will give money to the show, and those who have no money will give a personal show!" /
Entertainment activities were limited in the feudal era, and street performers were common. Even in such a village, the villagers were familiar with it.
As soon as they heard that there was such an interesting story, even passers-by stopped to watch curiously.
In the tea shop and wine shop on the street, many customers turned their heads and looked over.
When they saw Zhou Jing's appearance, many people's hearts jumped, and they secretly called out that he was a powerful man, and they immediately became interested.
Zhou Jing yelled a few more times, and more and more passers-by gathered around, and the village quickly became lively.
At the same time, a group of three people entered the village and walked on the street.
The first one is a middle-aged man, with two thin beards on his lips and a goat beard under his jaw, wearing a long robe and holding a folding fan, he seems to be an elegant scholar.
There is a man and a woman next to him. The man is a middle-aged man with a tall and straight figure, like a green pine tree, with broad shoulders and a narrow bottom, with ape arms and a wolf waist. On his back are two long objects wrapped in linen.
The woman is a heroic girl, her eyebrows and eyes are vaguely similar to that of a man in her prime, like a pair of brother and sister, with long hair tied around her waist, and a short knife pinned to her waist.
It doesn't look like an ordinary person.
"This Wujiazhuang is prosperous, and the owner of this place is kind and generous...Master, should we 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 folding fan: "No need, this is not our territory, if you visit rashly, you may cause trouble."
The middle-aged man scratched his head: "I once had a friend who was helped by old owner Wu a few years ago, so there shouldn't be any problems."
The middle-aged scholar tapped him with a folding fan, and said helplessly:
"People's hearts are separated from the belly. Which of these big local households has something to do with official posts? What if they take us to be officials on a whim? We are going to the state capital to do business, so try not to reveal it. .”
At this time, the heroic woman on the side snorted coldly, and echoed: "Master is right, these local wealthy families, who have worked so hard to make a big fortune, can there be any good people? Helping passing heroes is just a way to gain a good name. If you make a good relationship, you really can't make it if you want to fight the autumn wind."
"Okay, okay, let's find a restaurant to rest, right?"
The mature man's tone was embarrassing.
"Well, but you should eat less wine." The middle-aged scribe laughed.
At this moment, a burst of noise came to the ears of the three.
The middle-aged man stretched his neck to take a look, and said in surprise: "Master, sister, there is a performer in front!"
The heroic woman's face moved, as if she was interested, but she didn't move, turning her head to look at the middle-aged scribe.
Seeing this, the middle-aged scribe put away his folding fan and said with a smile, "It's okay to have a look."
The three of them followed the bustle and came all the way to the performing arts place. At this time, the three floors inside and outside were full of people, leaving an open space in the middle,
A big man is shouting, it is Zhou Jing.
Seeing clearly Zhou Jing's fierce and brave appearance, the three of them were startled.
The eyes of the middle-aged man showed extraordinary splendor: "What a man! He is not like an ordinary person!"
The middle-aged scribe also showed surprise on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "This man has a fierce aura, I'm afraid he is not a strongman from a stronghold?"
"What kind of art is he trying to sell?" The heroic woman couldn't help becoming curious when she saw that there were no other equipment in the arena, only a huge rock that was as tall as a person.
At this time, some idlers in the crowd started to make noises, and shouted to Zhou Jing with a smile:
"Wu Na man, you have been yelling for a long time. You have no costumes, no swords and guns, but what kind of art are you selling?"
Zhou Jing patted the stone beside him and laughed, "I don't have any special 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 was in an uproar.
This rock is very huge, seeing that no four or five people could not lift it up, the first reaction of the surrounding audience was disbelief.
The heroic woman is also dubious.
The middle-aged scribe has a smile of "I've seen through everything a long time ago, hehe, joking:
"It turned out to be hard work. This is usually fishy work. The stone is probably a special-looking thing. It looks heavy, but it is hollow inside. When he lifts it up, he will take out a big pill to sell it. Already."
"I see." The heroic woman suddenly realized.
But at this moment, Zhou Jing raised his hand to stop the commotion, and said loudly:
"The big guys don't want to believe it. I have no proof. Whoever can lift this big rock can go forward and try it. The truth is self-evident!"
As soon as he finished, there were idlers who didn't believe in evil, and came out more and more, spit into the palm of their hands twice, then squatted down and grabbed the boulder to lift it up.
However, the idler exhausted all his strength, and the stone didn't even move, but this man exerted too much force, and a loud fart burst out of his trouser pocket, which made everyone laugh, and he hurriedly buried his head into the crowd in embarrassment.
Someone made a start, and another six or seven villagers stepped forward to try, but all failed.
At this time, the middle-aged man's hands were itching unbearably, and more and more people came out, and clasped their fists at Zhou Jing: "The hero is invited, and I want to try it too."
Zhou Jing glanced at him, and said casually, "You can do it yourself."
The middle-aged man did not smudge. He squatted down and grabbed the stone and exerted his strength. His face gradually turned purple, and blue veins appeared on his forehead.
The boulder swayed slightly, but it was actually lifted a few inches by him.
But then this person couldn't hold on any longer, and quickly withdrew his hand, and the stone fell to the ground again with a bang.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers couldn't help being slightly moved and whispering.
"Someone can really lift it up."
"Although it's only a few inches, it's a great power."
Zhou Jing was a little surprised and couldn't help but treat him differently.
The stone he deliberately picked, even a strong man among mortals, would not be able to lift it. The strength of this mature man is really not small,
Probably not an ordinary person.
Here, the middle-aged man took a few breaths, adjusted his breath, cupped his fists at Zhou Jing, and retreated to his two companions.
"Brother, you are really strong." The heroic woman praised.
"It's a pity that I can't lift it up." The middle-aged man sighed: "It's too heavy. I guess there are not many people in this world who can lift it up completely."
Seeing this, the middle-aged scribe was surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Is this really a stone?"
"It's the real deal." The middle-aged man nodded.
Just as the three of them were secretly amazed, Zhou Jing felt that the time had come, and said loudly:
"Everyone has tried it, and you will know that this is a real stone. If I can lift it up, I hope you will spare no money."
Hearing this, the crowd around the audience responded one after another, and even those who were interested laughed and booed.
"I want to see how you lift it!"
"Will you lose money if you can't lift it?"
Zhou Jing didn't answer, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he bent his knees and squatted down, holding both sides of the bottom of the boulder with both hands.
Just as everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, there was a roar of a tiger.
"Start!"
The entire boulder rose into the air.
Under the stunned gaze of the crowd, the stone flew straight up several meters.
—It's more than just lifting it up and throwing it directly into the sky!
At the highest point, the stone that flew several meters suddenly fell back.
Zhou Jing raised his hands to the sky, caught the huge boulder that was nearly a person's height, and a circle of smoke and dust exploded under his feet, but his whole body was steady, and he didn't even shake it.
The shocked expressions of everyone froze instantly.
Click!
The middle-aged scribe broke the folding fan directly, and his eyeballs almost flew out.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide, his jaw almost dislocated.
The heroic woman gasped, her scalp tingling.
The three of them looked at Zhou Jing as if they were looking at a ghost!
The whole audience was silent for only a second, and then thunderous applause rang out.
"Good!!"
Everyone blushed ~IndoMTL.com~ clapped their hands vigorously and applauded excitedly.
At the same time, the three middle-aged scribes couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.
The middle-aged man has personally tried the weight of the boulder, and at this moment he couldn't believe it, he was horrified:
"Good skill! Even the 'Heavenly King' who is known as the number one expert in the green forest, doesn't have such supernatural power! If I match him correctly, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Shihe!"
"Is this still human?" The heroic woman's expression was like seeing a ghost.
On the contrary, the middle-aged scribe, who has always been calm, now looks like he is drunk, his face is flushed with excitement, and he is very excited:
"I didn't expect to meet such a hero in such a small place, how can I not make friends?! If I can invite him to go up to the mountain to gather together, I can fight all the green forests in the south!!"
