Chapter 4 Fuyan Town, the Court and the Jianghu
In this town called Fuyan Town, Lu Xingshi got a lot of information.
This world is a world where the imperial court and the rivers and lakes coexist. The presence of the Dasong imperial court is not very strong, and it is more like living behind the scenes.
There are various sects in the world, numerous large and small.
As for how high this martial artist's martial arts is, it seems to be quite average.
Forget about moving mountains and reclaiming seas, flying over eaves and walls is not bad, so it seems that the upper limit is not very high.
But Lu Xingshi always felt that something was not right. Just the innate characteristics of his peerless genius represented a problem.
He has observed that the root bone of a normal person is about 1, and the highest will not exceed 2.
If a person's physical fitness is doubled not to mention a hundred times, but ten times, it is already very scary.
So this is a world of low martial arts where you can only fly over the walls. Lu Xingshi actually doesn't believe it.
The current performance is like this, but because of this, although the court is low-key, in Lu Xingshi's eyes, it is actually very mysterious.
For example, thermal weapons such as artillery and blunderbuss already exist. Even if the people in the world are able to fly over the walls, they will still be like paper in front of these things.
Next is armor and powerful crossbows, which can also stop people in the world.
Not to mention the organized army, wherever it passed, people in the world would flee.
The Jianghu people are not without their advantages. With their own mobility, they can carry out beheading operations very smoothly.
But most of the time, Jianghu and Chaotang are two lines of interaction.
Both sides influence each other, but rarely interfere.
Lu Xingshi also saw that these Jianghu sects were actually more like a combination of local powerful people and monks and Taoist temples. They had a certain degree of autonomy without paying taxes, but they also had the obligation to cooperate with the court.
Moreover, the imperial court has cultivated a good sense of belonging. Although they are not loyal to the imperial court, most of the sects are also on the right path, with the purpose of protecting the environment and the people, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, even if they only pay lip service to it.
Jianghu people also have their own set of rules of conduct. For example, the Jianghu is the Jianghu, or it is not harming the family. They are a relatively contradictory group.
The imperial court also recruits many martial arts masters, and even heads and elders of famous sects. In fact, they will take up posts in the imperial court to achieve a balance between black and white.
In addition to the court and sects, there are also gangs. The big gangs can be compared to the famous sects, while the small ones are just a group of local ruffians.
A real gang is similar to a sect, except that it is more commercial in nature and operates through water transportation, medicinal materials, etc. It can be said to be a chamber of commerce.
Lu Xingshi also saw a martial arts school in Fuyan Town, which was a lower-level substitute for the sect. For a fee, he would teach some martial arts to the big guns, provide corresponding personnel for wealthy businessmen and gangs, or help train guards.
He does have his own basic martial arts, but these are not easily taught.
It can only be said that the tendency of people in the world to value their own money is very serious, and some of them even spare their disciples.
Therefore, it is not so easy to obtain a complete inheritance.
Lu Xingshi was very glad that he chose the innate trait of sect inheritance, and with the adventure of jumping off a cliff as a supplement, at least he didn't have to worry about his skills.
As for the classification of people in the world, there are actually no first-rate, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate and master.
This is not strength or realm, but reputation. There is no detailed division of reputation, strength, realm, etc. The first-class is the top master, and the master is the person who founded the sect and has a high reputation.
His fledgling series of achievements are related to this reputation.
In fact, you don’t need to be able to fight to become a master figure. As long as you know marketing, packaging, and the corresponding public opinion, you can create it. However, doing so will put your life in danger.
Because someone will come to challenge you. These people are all famous people, and they all have a good reputation. If they are just empty-handed, they will probably be beaten to death by the other party.
The local governments set up by the imperial court will not interfere with the struggles between Jianghu people. This is the so-called Jianghu affair.
After collecting the information, the next thing Lu Xingshi had to do was to open a map and find some martial arts.
"There are currently two books on the most basic exercises, one is "Qi Yin Shu" and the other is "Tuna and Breath Gong".
Lu Xingshi plays a martial arts game villain, which must focus on martial arts. These two books are among the most popular ones, with the most people practicing them, and they are also the simplest.
"The "Qi Yin Technique" is an external skill, while the "Tu Na Gong" is an internal skill, but it's expensive."
It's true that they are cheap, but they are expensive and cannot be used by people at the bottom of any ancient world.
Therefore, one tael of silver is needed for each copy.
Of course, you can also find someone to teach you, and martial arts teachers will teach you, but their fees are higher. Practicing martial arts is a huge waste of money. If you are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, you will lose your family if you practice Taoism.
Furthermore, martial arts schools do not teach these two techniques. They have their own unique basic martial arts, which is much stronger than these two techniques.
"So I have to get two taels, no, it should be ten taels of silver."
For the sake of caution, he had to live in addition to the two martial arts. He relied on two legs to open the map, and he was afraid that he would die suddenly.
The direct lineage of the great sect in him needs to be triggered, rather than just waiting...well, it is possible to wait, but it is probably a bit difficult.
So he planned to buy a mule, not a horse. This thing was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.
In ancient times, horses were equivalent to modern carts. Even inferior horses were not cheap. More importantly, they were troublesome to raise. Unlike mules, which were more cost-effective.
"Then we can only sell something..." Lu Xingshi glanced at a lot of agricultural and sideline products in his game warehouse, especially chicken, duck and fish, which were hard currency in ancient times, plus various fruits and vegetables from different worlds, selling Give it to a restaurant, a local wealthy family, or even a martial arts school, and you're guaranteed to make a profit.
One family sells it for ten taels, and ten families sell it for one hundred taels.
"It's just that I, a foreigner, can easily be targeted." Lu Xingshi is not a local of Fuyan Town, but a stranger. In addition, he has no martial arts skills and is alone. Two pieces of silver is like a big fat sheep.
Nothing is unexpected.
"Let's take a step and see what happens. With my current abilities, even people who have practiced martial arts may not be able to compete with me."
The root bone also represents the force-sensitive body and other corresponding attributes, but it not only represents potential.
So now he actually has a physical level that far exceeds that of ordinary people. As for his understanding, it should improve his concentration, logic, learning and other abilities.
The strength of concentration is not yet clear, and may not be apparent until after starting martial arts training.
