Chapter 4 Five Animal Skills, health and body training
After some operations, another 164 points of essence and blood were obtained.
After beheading, everyone returned to the Yamen. Chen Gang took out some money, two big coins per person.
“This is an example of money today.”
Fang Chen was quite confused.
"Shouldn't the regular money be paid out once a month?"
The colleague next to him chuckled.
"Boy, don't you understand this? Murder is a matter of shortening one's life. Officials can deduct money from any class in the yamen, but they don't dare to deduct money from our executioners. They are also afraid The cause and effect is transferred to myself, so every time after beheading, the money is paid directly to us to break the cause and effect."
"That's it."
Fang Chen nodded. , I didn’t expect it to be said like this.
But having said that, the reward is indeed good.
The currency of Daqian is one gold equal to ten silver coins, one hundred big coins, and one thousand copper coins.
Two or three big coins are enough for a family of four to survive in the bitter cold. The executioner has two big coins for every head he chops off. He can afford wine and meat, and he still has spare money to go to Goulan and listen to music. If he saves a little, he can use it in practice. Wushang is also an investment.
In short, this is a career that is carelessly glorious but has a lot of profits.
Of course, I also exchanged my own fate and merits.
Fang Chen didn't care about this.
As long as I don’t want merit, it means I won’t lose my merit.
Unlike other professions in the county government, the executioner's duty only ended at 6:00 noon. When his duty ended, everyone booed.
"Brother Chen, do you want to hang out with us? Today, my brothers will take you to eat some meat."
"To eat some meat?"
Seeing Fang Chen showing a hint of confusion, everyone laughed.
"Yes, I will take you to listen to music, and by the way, I will find a girl for you, so that you can also experience the beauty of men and women."
Fang Chen suddenly remembered that this is In the feudal dynasty, certain things were legal.
However, he still chose to shake his head and refuse.
He has just returned to the county town, and there are still a lot of things to deal with. How can he have time to look at his legs?
Besides, an elementary school where so many people spit on people is really uninteresting. Fang Chen doesn't have a hobby of shabu-shabu.
"Boss Chen, I wonder if there are any relatively affordable and powerful martial arts schools in this city?"
Fang Chen asked Chen Gang about this, and Chen Gang smiled and said:
"How can there be such a good thing in the world? The real skills are reserved for people to eat, and without real money and silver to spend, who is willing to teach them easily? It's a pity that you are an executioner, otherwise you can learn both skills from the county government's instructor, which will be enough for you. Infinite.”
“Can one learn martial arts in a government office?”
This was something Fang Chen didn't expect.
Chen Gang explained:
"To be precise, they are invited to guide the yamen soldiers and police officers. Don't even think about it. The executioners are not among them."
< br>"That's it."
Fang Chen nodded, but secretly made a calculation in his heart, and walked towards the martial arts field.
From a distance, he could see government officers and police officers gathering towards the martial arts arena. When he reached the entrance of the martial arts arena, he was immediately stopped by two government officers guarding the door.
"Stop, aren't you wearing the clothes of an executioner? What are you doing here?"
"Two eldest brothers, the younger brother heard that masters often come to the martial arts arena to give advice, and I want to appreciate the elegance of the masters. "Can you make it easier?" "Go, go, is this a place you can come to? This is the instructor specially invited for our police officers and police officers. You are an executioner, as long as you have the strength, why do you come here to join in the fun?" ?”
In response, Fang Chen was not angry and did not leave. He just flicked his sleeves and a tael of silver fell to the ground.
"Ah, brother, you lost your money."
As he said that, Fang Chen knelt down, picked up the silver, and put his hand under the noses of the two government soldiers.
The two Yamen soldiers were stunned, obviously they did not expect Fang Chen to do this.
The monthly silver of the Yamen soldiers is only two or three taels a month. For the two of them, this tael of silver is enough for several days.
The shining silver makes people’s hearts flutter just by looking at it.
The two looked at each other and confirmed each other's thoughts through eye contact.
One of the yamen soldiers took the silver from Fang Chen’s hand, coughed slightly, and said:
“Don’t make too much noise when you go in, find a corner and sit down, don’t be discovered. Otherwise, don’t blame our brothers for not helping you if you get kicked out.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Chen entered, and there were already many government soldiers and quick guards gathered inside. , He Zhuangban, a county government official, he just found a corner to sit down, and few people noticed him. Even if someone saw him, he worked in the same government office, but they didn't bother to speak.
Soon, an old man with white beard and hair came forward.
There was some commotion in the crowd.
"Isn't this Wu Qishan, the pharmacist of Huichun Hall? Why was he invited to be the instructor?"
"Since ancient times, medicine and martial arts have not been separated, he should also have some skills, and Let’s see what he wants to teach first.”
When Wu Qishan came here, he slightly cupped his hands towards everyone and said with a smile:
"Thanks to the county magistrate, I invite this old man to come here to teach you martial arts. Today, I will teach you the five-animal skill passed down by my ancestors.
This method is not like those top-level skills that are full of murderous nature. A prescribed health-preserving exercise can cultivate the body, regulate qi and blood, recharge energy, and prolong life.
Everyone who has been arresting criminals for many years must have strained their muscles and bones, leaving many scars and discomforts on their bodies. Learn this from me. The health-preserving skill can greatly reduce those old injuries of the body.”
“It’s actually a health-preserving skill.” , the flowers are really worth it!
However, while he was happy, others were disappointed.
“Ah? It turns out to be a health-preserving exercise.”
“I thought it would be some powerful exercise. It turns out to be a health-preserving exercise.”
“Learn this It’s just a waste of time.”
Everyone lost interest in an instant.
This is not to say that health-preserving skills are not good. In fact, health-preserving skills are very good. Many masters who have been injured in martial arts all year round will choose to dabble in some health-preserving skills when they reach middle age and old age, and even choose to combine them with decoctions or to prolong life. Or you want to heal the hidden wounds that have been gathering dust on your body for many years.
But few people will practice health-preserving skills when they are young.
The effect of practicing health-preserving skills is extremely slow, and it is almost non-lethal. Its only function is to strengthen the body, condense blood essence, and increase life span.
Young people are at the age when they don’t care about their lives. All they need is to increase their strength!
For a while, many people had left here and ran to the side to practice other techniques, and soon only a small number of them remained in place.
Wu Qishan was not angry about this, and still performed a set of Five Animal Kung Fu, and told the secret formula, allowing everyone to try to practice with him.
After Fang Chen’s intention in learning was recorded in his mind, there was an additional column of exercises on the light screen [Five-Qin Skills (Not Beginner)].
Although the practice of health-preserving exercises is much easier than other exercises, it is difficult to achieve success without years of accumulation.
Without any hesitation, Fang Chen directly began to refine the essence and blood, and began to improve and deduce the Five Animal Skills.
