Chapter 144: A Little Explanation of Talismans
""A Little Explanation of Talismans"
Although other things are worth a lot of money, Fang Yue doesn't care about them.
Fang Yue paid more attention to these two books.
I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to read them carefully. Now that I have settled down, I have time to read these two books.
One of them is a sect martial arts technique called "Shaking Mountain Fist", which can be practiced to the level of Yi Mui.
The good thing is that this skill contains the secret medicine for these levels. It is a complete and inherited skill, and its value alone is more than ten thousand taels of silver.
The quality of the technique is good. Just looking at the description, it should be more powerful than the White Tiger Fist. In the future, it can be used as the family martial arts of the Fang family.
As for the other book, just looking at the name gave Fang Yue a different feeling.
talisman?
Is it the talisman he knows in his mind?
With doubts, Fang Yue opened this quaint-looking book that seemed to have been read many times.
This book looks thick, but it doesn’t actually record much content.
There are seven talismans in total.
Each talisman has a detailed description, from material selection to outline, everything is covered in detail.
Even a beginner can draw the talisman according to the description in the book.
"But, what kind of talismans are these?"
Detecting gold, passing fire, gathering water
Detecting metal, the effective range is within one foot; passing through flames, Reduce damage; gather water vapor, about the amount of a bowl of water
Looking at the name and effect, it is really weak.
Putting aside the authenticity of the talismans drawn in this book, the description of their effects alone was very weak. Fang Yue could hardly imagine the use of these talismans.
If you take it to the countryside and deceive some ignorant people and women, the effect will be very good.
"It's just a pity. According to the description in this talisman explanation, if you want to draw such talismans, you need the corresponding vitality, and I don't know how much vitality is needed."
Fang Yue closed the book and said with some sigh.
The writings in this "Little Explanation of Talismans" are very realistic, and it was collected by the person in charge of this mysterious organization in Xiahe County. It should not be a fake.
It's just that the talisman is very complete, but it doesn't explain what kind of cultivation is required to draw the talisman.
After thinking about it, Fang Yue stopped trying.
He has never heard of some of the materials. If he wants to prepare everything, he will definitely not be able to prepare it in a short time.
The most urgent task is to conduct the government examination first.
After the government examination is over, he will get his official status and be able to keep his current property.
After tidying up and putting everything away.
Fang Yue changed his clothes and went out.
Of course I want to find a place to practice.
Besides, it was still early and there was still half a day before dark, so he couldn't sit still at all.
Habits become natural. If you don’t practice Qigong in your free time, you will naturally feel uncomfortable all over.
Perhaps this is near a river, and I don’t know which palace master of Shanyang Mansion had the idea to plant a large number of trees on both sides of this tributary of the river.
It does form a unique scenery.
You know, every inch of land in Shanyangfu City is precious.
If you want to buy a house here, not to mention the luxury houses, even an ordinary house will cost thousands of taels of silver.
And they also have to pay the government a residential use fee ranging from 10 taels to 100 taels every year.
Therefore, although Shanyangfu City is large, it is not easy to live there.
Soon, the Fang Yue family found a quiet place near the inn.
Facing the river on one side, and an ordinary-looking three-in house on the other, there is a large green space in the middle.
It’s very secluded, and it’s quite nice to practice martial arts here.
After finding a place, Fang Yue started practicing without wasting any time.
Of course, the exercise I took was the "Qi-Building and Health-Preserving Kung Fu". The movements were leisurely, and it really looked like a Qi-nurturing Kung Fu.
~~~~~~
At this moment,
In an exquisite two-story building on the other side of the river, a girl in simple clothes got up and opened the window, looking at Involuntarily, he fell into the small woods on the opposite side.
Immediately, he became excited and stretched out his mutton-fat white jade-like jade finger to point downward: "Sister, look quickly, is that, is that fool Fang Yue!"
After thinking for a long time, Lian'er remembered Fang Yue's name.
However, looking at the other person's increasingly mature face, the girl didn't know what she thought of. She only felt her face getting hot and quickly closed the window.
"Why is it closed? Let me take a look."
The lazy and lovely girl Xiangjun, who was stretching her waist and looking like she had just woken up from a nap, arrived in a hurry. By the window, open the window.
However, at this time, there was no one in the woods opposite.
"Good sister, please stop lying to me. Are you thinking too much and mistaking the wrong person? Mr. Fang is nowhere here!"
Miss Xiangjun sighed slightly, and then said in an admonishing tone: "That kind of people are not what you and I should think about. It has been so many years. Maybe they have already married and had children." Besides, Xiahe County and Shanyang Mansion are thousands of miles apart. How could he come to Shanyang Mansion?"
"But sister, I seemed to have really seen him just now. ." The girl Lian'er looked outside unbelievingly, and sure enough, the familiar figure just now was no longer there.
It seems that she really just saw it wrong.
“It’s raining, how can there be anyone?”
"Hey, okay, don't think about it. For people like us, if we can find a rich man to be a concubine in the future, that would be pretty good." The woman named Xiang Jun sighed slightly.
Being in a brothel, it can be said that you can't help yourself. You are still young and famous, and you can still maintain yourself.
It’s nothing more than the less available, the more valuable it is.
But there will always be times when she can't help herself, and she doesn't know what her fate will be then.
~~~~~~~
When the cold wind blows, cool drops fall.
The yellow leaves and branches are falling. This kind of weather is very uncomfortable for ordinary people.
But Fang Yue’s physique did not cause any discomfort.
Putting down the tens of thousands of kilograms of rockery in front of him, Fang Yue clapped his hands.
I came back to the open space where I practiced just now. I was in the mood just now and wanted to test my strength.
Sure enough, he hugged the rockery that was as tall as a person in the middle of the small garden-like green space.
I practiced for about half an hour, until it got dark.
Fang Yue left the green space and returned to the inn.
~~~~~~
A while passed.
The weather cleared, sunset appeared in the west, and the sun had set.
"Mom, why did this stone move?"
The gate of the house next to the green space opened, and a little girl wearing a pink skirt ran out jumping. .
"Anu, don't run so fast. You will cry if you fall down."
Soon, a woman with beautiful appearance but plain clothes followed from the house. He walked out and looked at the girl jumping and playing with a smile. It was Widow Yu who walked out of Daliushu Village and returned to Shanyang Mansion.
"Anu, you must be wrong, who can move such a big stone."
Widow Yu shook her head, looking at the piece of stone that is as tall as one person, at least ten thousand A huge stone weighing more than 500 kilograms.
Obviously not believing that anyone would move that rock.
After all, most people can't move it, and those who can move it won't be idle and bored to move rocks.
"Really, really. Anu never lies, mother, come here and take a look." The pink little girl pouted and pointed to the boulder in front of her with an aggrieved look.
Widow Yu shook her head, thinking it was Anu joking with him, but she still walked to the rockery.
After taking a closer look, I found that there were signs of movement under the rockery. It had really been moved.
The smile on Widow Yu’s face immediately disappeared and became serious. She was not an ignorant country person who knew nothing. Of course she knew how much strength it would take to move the rockery in front of her.
With more than 10,000 kilograms, he is at least a martial artist at Yishui Pass, the fourth level of martial arts.
Why did such a warrior appear at her door?
Which party is it that appears here?
Widow Yu thought for a moment and quickly asked the maid next to her to find someone.
Not long after, an old man in well-dressed clothes came to the door of the house. He was the man who had gone to Daliushu Village to pick up Widow Yu back to Shanyang Fucheng.
“Miss!” The old man saluted respectfully towards Widow Yu.
Then he went to see the rockery. When he came to the rockery, he found that the rockery had been moved.
It should have been moved and put back again.
Soon, the old man took a deep breath and grabbed the rockery with both hands.
With a sudden exertion of force, the rockery in front of him shook, and then was slightly lifted an inch. However, it did not last long before it was lowered again.
“The person who can move this rockery must at least be a martial artist with great success in Yi Mui. What is the purpose of the other party? Could it be that those people haven’t given up yet?”
The old man frowned. During this period, Shanyang Mansion was about to conduct a government examination.
There are dragons and snakes in Shanyang Mansion City. If those people really send people in at this time, it is really possible to avoid the eyes and ears of the court.
But, these people finally got in, why did they do this?
It’s really confusing!
"Miss Third, I will be guarding here these days. I also ask Miss Third to stay at home as much as possible and not go out."
The old man thought for a while. If he couldn't understand, he didn't need to think about it. He just needed to stop calmly.
This is Shanyang Mansion, and the other party will definitely not dare to mess around.
Widow Yu nodded, and then took Anu back.
~~~~~~~~~~
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Fang Yue didn't have time to practice in the past few days, but wanted to find a few more martial arts practitioners who came to participate in the examination to jointly sign a guarantee.
Although there are very few martial arts candidates who blatantly cheat during government examinations, we still need to be cautious.
If you really encounter someone desperate and get implicated, the results of this government examination will be invalid, and you can only wait until next year to take the government examination next time.
Of course there are professionals doing this kind of thing in Fucheng.
Fang Yue paid the money and got some information about the people who were going to participate in the government examination, and found some information that seemed innocent.
Then it was time to meet and get to know each other a little bit.
As expected, it was pretty much what it said in the information, and then they signed a guarantee letter to each other.
Then he went to the government office with these people to submit a letter of guarantee and signed up for the government examination.
~~~~~~~~
Fang Yue left the Yamen immediately after reporting his name.
At this time, Liu Chuanzhi walked out of the corner of the government office, looked at Fang Yue leaving, his eyes became cold:
"It's him, I didn't expect that Fang Yue actually signed up for this government examination!"< br>
More than a year ago, he was 'ordered' to deal with Fang Yue, but both ended in failure.
After that, we returned to Fucheng.
Unexpectedly, not only was he not punished, but he was reused by Mr. Xue and arranged errands for him in the government office.
Although he has no official status and is just an official, he is still on duty in the government office or one of the three major departments of the government office.
Although he only writes and draws and calculates accounts every day, he has a heavy responsibility and is naturally praised.
I had already gradually let go of Fang Yue, but I didn’t expect that I was just about to leave my shift and go home today.
I actually saw Fang Yue again, or saw Fang Yue coming out of the examination room.
Coming to the government office at this time, I guess you must have signed up for the government examination!
Thinking of this, Liu Chuanzhi's face darkened.
~~~~~~
Late night,
Fireworks and willow alley are brightly lit.
"Master Zhang, come and have a drink." Liu Chuanzhi smiled and toasted to a middle-aged man in front of him.
The person in front of me, Mr. Zhang, is responsible for registering the information of martial arts candidates.
If that was all, then Liu Chuanzhi would not come to see this person. Unexpectedly, this person also secretly provided information about the participants of this government examination to several major gambling houses in the city.
The annual government examination is such a grand event. Naturally, some people bet on the results of the government examination.
In this case, it is natural to need some information about the people who participated in the government examination.
"Haha, brother Liu, what is your name, Mr. Zhang? You and I can do whatever you want, don't be so formal." Although the middle-aged official is older than Liu Chuanzhi, his position in the government office is now higher than that of Liu Chuanzhi.
But Liu Chuanzhi has Young Master Xue behind him, so his future prospects will not be small, so this middle-aged official treats him as an equal.
"That's it, Brother Zhang, I'm being polite this time." Liu Chuanzhi also followed the stick after hitting the snake, and followed suit.
"Haha, brother Liu Xian, you don't have to be polite. Just tell me if you have anything to say. As a brother, I will do my best to help you."
The middle-aged official surnamed Zhang is also a human spirit, so naturally he found Liu Chuanzhi invited him to drink wine today, which was by no means a simple relationship.
If a person in the officialdom does not know a little bit about the world, then he will not be able to survive in the officialdom.
"Haha, it's just a small thing. It's just to add more fame to this person. It's best to put him into this year's seeds."
After that, Liu Chuanzhi handed Fang Yue's information to the other party. .
The official surnamed Zhang took the note and looked at it, Fang Yue, Daliu Shu Village, Xiahe County.
An unimpressive martial arts practitioner is probably not a popular candidate.
I don’t know why Liu Chuanzhi is so optimistic about this person.
"This is a simple matter." Naturally, the middle-aged official named Zhang would not refuse. For him, this was a very simple matter.
If he wants to add a few more people, it will be difficult for him to do it, but just filling in one person is not a big deal.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, come and have a drink, have a drink!"
Liu Chuanzhi laughed, and immediately toasted again, called the madam, and called a few women to join in the fun.
For a while, the host and guest were enjoying themselves.
