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 court and the Jianghu coexist. The presence of the Dasong court is not very strong, and it is more like being behind the scenes.
There are all kinds of sects in the Jianghu, large and small.
As for how high the martial arts of this martial artist is, it seems to be quite average.
Moving mountains and filling the sea is impossible, but flying over eaves and walking on walls is pretty good, so it doesn't seem that the upper limit is very high.
But Lu Xingshi always feels that something is wrong. Just the innate characteristics of this peerless genius represent a problem.
He has observed that the root bone of a normal person is about 1, and the highest will not exceed 2.
A person's physical fitness is not to mention a hundred times, even ten times, it is already very terrifying.
So this is a low-level martial arts world where you can only fly over eaves and walk on walls, Lu Xingshi actually doesn't believe it.
The current performance is like this, but because of this, although the court is low-key, it is actually very mysterious in Lu Xingshi's eyes.
For example, hot weapons such as cannons and guns are already available. Even if the people in the martial arts world can fly over eaves and walls, they are just like paper in front of these things.
The second is armor and strong crossbows, which can also stop people in the martial arts world.
Not to mention the organized army, wherever they pass, people in the martial arts world will flee.
People in the martial arts world are not without advantages. With their own mobility, they can carry out decapitation operations very smoothly.
It's just that most of the time, the martial arts world and the court are two interactive lines.
The two sides have influence on each other, but rarely interfere.
Lu Xingshi also saw that these martial arts sects are actually more like a combination of local tyrants and monks and temples. They have a certain degree of autonomy if they don't pay taxes, but they also have the obligation to cooperate with the court.
Moreover the court has cultivated a good sense of belonging. Although they cannot be loyal to the court, most sects are also righteous, with the purpose of protecting the country and the people, and helping the weak, even if they are just talking.
Jianghu people also have their own set of rules of conduct, such as Jianghu affairs, or things like not bringing disaster to the family. They are a relatively contradictory group.
The court also recruited many Jianghu masters, and even the heads and elders of famous sects would actually hold posts in the court to achieve a balance between the black and white.
In addition to the court and sects, there are gangs. The big gangs can be compared to the famous sects, and the small ones are just a group of ruffians.
The real gangs are similar to the sects, but they are more commercial in nature, operating with water transport, medicinal materials, etc., which can be said to be chambers of commerce.
Lu Xingshi also saw a martial arts hall in Fuyan Town, which is a lower-level substitute for the sect. For money, they will teach some common martial arts, provide corresponding personnel for wealthy businessmen and gangs, or help train guards.
There are also their own martial arts, but these are not easily taught.
It can only be said that the Jianghu people are very cherishing, and some even keep a hand for their disciples.
Therefore, it is not so easy to obtain a complete inheritance.
Lu Xingshi was very glad that he had chosen the innate trait of the sect inheritance, and with the cliff jumping adventure as a supplement, at least he didn't have to worry about the problem of martial arts.
As for the level division of Jianghu people, in fact, there are no more than the third-rate, second-rate, first-rate and master.
This is not strength or realm, but reputation, a reputation gained through fighting, and there is no detailed division of strength realm.
The first-rate ones are the top masters, while the grandmasters are the ones who founded a school and have a very high reputation.
His success in his fledgling career is related to this reputation.
In fact, you don't need to be good at fighting to become a grandmaster. As long as you know how to market, package and have the corresponding public opinion, you can create one. However, doing so will be life-threatening.
Because there will be people who come to challenge you. These people are well-known people, and their reputations are all earned through fighting. If they are just empty shells, they may really be beaten to death by the other party.
The local government set up by the court will not care about the struggles between the people in the rivers and lakes. This is what is called the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
After collecting almost all the intelligence, Lu Xingshi's next thing to do is to open the map and find some martial arts by the way.
"Currently, there are two most basic exercises, one is "Qi Yin Shu" and the other is "Tu Na Gong."
Lu Xingshi plays a martial arts game character, which must focus on martial arts. These two books are the most common ones among the common ones, with the most people practicing them and the simplest ones.
"Qi Yin Shu is an external skill, while Tu Na Gong is an internal skill, but the price is not cheap."
It is common goods, but the carrier is expensive. Books are not available to the lower class in any ancient world.
Therefore, one book costs one tael of silver.
Of course, you can also find someone to teach you. The martial arts school will teach you, but they charge more. Practicing martial arts is a big expense. It is poor to be a scholar and rich to be a martial artist. Practicing Taoism will ruin your family.
Moreover, the martial arts school does not teach these two skills. They have their own basic martial arts, which are much stronger than these two skills.
"So I have to get two taels of silver, no, it should be ten taels of silver."
For the sake of caution, he can't live without these two martial arts. If he relies on his two legs to open the map, he might die suddenly.
The orthodox teachings of the big sects on him need to be triggered, not just waiting... Well, it is possible to wait, but it is estimated that it is a bit difficult.
So he plans to buy a mule, forget about the horse, this thing is too expensive, it is not something he can afford.
In ancient times, horses were equivalent to modern cars. Even inferior horses were not cheap, and more importantly, they were troublesome to raise, unlike mules, which were more cost-effective.
"Then I can only sell some things..." Lu Xingshi looked at the pile of agricultural and sideline products in his game warehouse, especially chickens, ducks, fish and meat, which were hard currencies in ancient times. In addition, there were vegetables and fruits from various different worlds. Selling them to restaurants or local big families or even martial arts halls would ensure that there would be profit.
One family sold for ten taels, and ten families sold for a hundred taels.
"But it's easy for me, an outsider, to be targeted." Lu Xingshi was not a local in Fuyan Town, but a stranger. In addition, he had no martial arts skills and was alone. He took out so many supplies and had a hundred taels of silver on him. He was simply a fat sheep.
Nothing would happen.
"Let's take it one step at a time. With my current physique, even the martial arts practitioners may not be able to beat me."
Root bone also represents corresponding attributes such as strength, agility and body, not just potential.
So he now actually has a physical level far beyond that of ordinary people. As for his comprehension, it should improve his concentration, logic, learning ability, etc. His
concentration is not clear yet, and it may have to wait until he starts practicing martial arts to see it.
