Chapter Three Qinghe Town
In addition to Bai Ziyue, there were two other children his age, one named Xu Li and the other Zhang Guoyi, who followed Xu Ming to town.
One of them is Xu Li, Xu Ming's cousin's child, white and clean, but appears to be timid.
As for Zhang Guoyi, he was the tallest of the three, with a dark face and a tendon of flesh despite his age. Bai Ziyue estimated that his strength and physique were estimated to be above 0.5, much stronger than him.
Zhang Guoyi's parents died early, now fostered in his uncle's house, uncle and aunt are not mean to him, but after all, not biological, plus the family is poor, there is always some differentiation, this time I heard that Xu Ming recommended someone to be an apprentice, and simply sent him over.
From the village, to reach the Qinghe Town, a full fifty miles of road, which is mostly mountainous, small roads, and not good.
All the way, traveling and stopping, Bai Ziyue always gritted his teeth and insisted, and did not take the initiative to shout tired.
Really can not hold on, with the help of the soul energy, to their own physique on the addition of some, enhance the physique at the same time, always newborn a force, so that he is not too tired.
Therefore, even though Bai Ziyue's physique was the weakest among the three, it was Xu Li who often shouted to stop and call for exhaustion.
Towards his own nephew, Xu Ming naturally took care of him a bit, and obediently called for a rest.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ziyue then rushed to ask Xu Ming some things about martial arts, which was also the biggest motivation for him to travel to Qinghe Town.
"Martial arts, is divided into two aspects, external forging and internal refining, the so-called external forging of the sinews and bones and skin, and internal refining of the five viscera and six bowels, that's it.
After that, it is the internal qi realm, where the internal qi is lifelong, and the power skyrockets, like the kind of brat you encountered before, as long as the internal qi master's breath erupts, it can directly crush it."
Xu Ming's face was solemn as he said seriously.
"Then what realm are you in, Uncle Ming?"
Xu Li's eyes lit up as he asked curiously.
"Me? Sort of at the Inner Refinement level."
A hint of a smile appeared on Xu Ming's face.
Outer Forging was a threshold, and going from Outer Forging to Inner Refinement was not that easy.
Even though he had only initially started Inner Refinement, his status and position in the gang had already risen somewhat, being promoted from the original dock steward to the head of a large class.
It was also for this reason that he had risen to the occasion, introducing people from the village into the gang.
"Internal Refinement?"
Bai Ziyue's heart stirred, the might of Xu Ming's punch back then, even now he was still impressed.
Internal Refinement was already this strong, so what was the power of the Internal Qi Realm, which was a level higher than Internal Refinement?
Moreover, Bai Ziyue from Xu Ming's face, is also to see, the other party within the refining of this level of cultivation, is not deep, obviously there is still a lot of room for progress ......
Thinking about the power of practicing martial arts, Bai Ziyue couldn't help but feel a yearning, and was more and more impatient to go to Qinghe Town.
Soon, the group was once again rushing along.
"Let's speed up, this section of the road is within the patrol range of the Ghost Head Walled City, once we encounter people from the Ghost Head Walled City, it will be troublesome."
Suddenly, Xu Ming said seriously.
Bai Ziyue and the others' hearts and minds were tightened, and they hurriedly increased their pace.
As people from the nearby mountain villages, they naturally knew about the Ghost Head Walled City, and knew that inside was a group of mountain bandits, vicious and vicious, killing countless people, and several times the government had besieged it without success, it was very rampant.
Fortunately, this section of the road is not the ghost head village of the main garrison range, after all, the traffic is mountain people, not enough oil and water, and is not valued, so there is no accident smoothly through.
During this time, because of the rapid rush, Bai Ziyue had to continuously improve his physique, otherwise he definitely couldn't support it.
As for Xu Li, he was carried forward by Xu Ming as early as halfway.
On the other side, Zhang Guoyi, whose physique was indeed different from normal people, although he was the same age as Bai Ziyue, he was only slightly out of breath after a long journey.
The performance of the three of them was all seen in Xu Ming's eyes.
For his own nephew, he is not good too harsh, Zhang Guoyi stronger physique, able to keep up with the whole process he is not surprised, but Bai Ziyue's physique, looks obviously weaker than his own nephew, but can rely on his own teeth to keep up with, and did not seek his help, it really makes him surprised.
When the sun set, after several hours of rushing, they finally arrived at Qinghe Town.
Under the slanting sun, it was as if it was enveloped by a ball of flame, emitting a red light, and under the tall walls, the gates were open, and there were countless streams of people entering and exiting from it.
"Qinghe Town!"
Bai Ziyue in this life wasn't literate, and the characters in his previous life weren't the same as this one, but he still quickly judged that the three slightly complicated characters marked on the gates were precisely the three characters of Qinghe Town.
Secretly memorizing these three characters in his mind, Bai Ziyue planned to start learning words at the same time as learning martial arts next.
He didn't necessarily need to be able to read and write, but being able to read and argue with words would definitely help him in the future when he came into contact with martial arts and secret books.
Qinghe Town said to be a small town, in and out of the same need to enter the city fee, goods regardless, individuals in and out of the city, all need to be a copper money bottom.
Xu Ming brought along Bai Ziyue's trio and also paid four copper coins before they were able to pass through.
"This is Qinghe Town, it's really prosperous."
Zhang Guoyi said ignorantly.
On the streets where people came and went, all sorts of things that were rare in their eyes kept appearing, and the people traveling to and from the town were all dressed more gorgeously than the people in the village.
This was the first time he stepped into the town, and everything he looked at felt rare.
"This is the West Street District, because it's close to the city gates, there's more people converging, forming a shopping street.
But to say that it's truly prosperous, it's still the North Street, the government offices, our Lieyang Gang's branch, some martial arts schools, academies, and big restaurants are all over there, it's where all the big families and rich people come and go."
Xu Ming explained with a smile.
Bai Ziyue didn't say anything and secretly wrote these down.
The academy, the martial arts school, they were all places he aspired to.
However, he was clear that these were not something that the current him could access, studying at the academy, the annual tuition and fees, and the cost of books, was not something that his family could afford, not to mention the need for a letter of recommendation from the Xiu Cai Master.
As for the martial arts school, the threshold is not so high, but the cost of learning the art of gold and silver, but definitely in the academy above reading.
"Uncle Ming, what's going on over there?"
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue pointed not far away, muttering, countless people gathered together.
"The beheading platform, a place where the government specializes in executing vicious criminals for their crimes.
Looking at the situation, it's another person who is going to be executed by beheading."
Xu Ming said with a somewhat complicated face.
Those who could be beheaded were usually those who were armed with martial arts, and dying on the beheading platform was, in his opinion, an insult.
Of course, those who had committed great crimes were also to blame for having this fate, and he would not sympathize.
"Beheading platform?!"
Bai Ziyue's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly looked at Xu Ming, saying, "Is it okay for us to go and take a look?"
There was some anticipation in his heart.
Now that the Soul Energy on his Attribute Panel had been depleted, as his base card for settling down, he naturally hoped that the more Soul Energy he had, the better.
Granted, it was impossible for him to actively kill people because of his soul energy, but he wouldn't mind if he could obtain soul energy through this passive method.
