Chapter 169 "Teaching and Learning" Upgrade: Learn from the Beasts!
"Meow~"
The next day, Yan Chuang opened the door and saw that the civet cat from yesterday had picked up a black mouse and placed it at the door. Then it jumped into the forest and disappeared.
"This cat is sensible, this is the apprenticeship ceremony."
Wang Zhengyi happened to see this scene and couldn't help but smile.
Yesterday, Yan Chuang taught boxing, and all the civet cats came to listen. He was amazing at doing ups, downs, drills, and tiger , this morning, the cat actually brought a black mouse in its mouth to thank Yan Chuang.
A black rat can produce about two taels of meat, which is worth half a penny, that is, thirty or forty cash, which is equivalent to about half a day's income of ordinary bodyguards and martial arts masters in Guangling City.
If you buy one every day, you can easily earn one to two to five per month.
"This cat understands human nature." Yan Chuang also laughed. He didn't mean to teach the civet cat. It was an unexpected joy to be grateful and thanked by the civet cat. It was early in the morning and he was in a good mood.
Yan Chuang asked Jin Yutang to take the black rats away. On the side, Wang Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh: "The mountains around 'Nanyue Lake' are overrun with black rats all year round. It is said that there are so many black rats, but these black rats are smart and drill holes. It's hidden deep, and even when it comes out, it makes little movement, and it runs very fast, so it's really not as easy to catch as I originally thought."
Easier said than done!
Before coming to Nanxiong City, Wang Zhengyi had heard that 'black rat meat' was a specialty of Nanxiong City, and that 'Nanyue Lake' was infested with black rats. At that time, he thought that black rats were everywhere and they were everywhere. You can catch a bunch of in fact, even for experienced hunters who have been lurking in the Nanyue Lake area all year round, it is not easy to hunt 'black rats'——
Find a hole!
Seal the cave!
Catching mice!
It's all technical work.
If you are not careful, your whole day's work will be in vain.
Even if they are caught, the subsequent handling, meat stripping, meat preparation and sales channels are all , a black rat can produce two taels of meat and can be sold for half a penny, that is, a pound of black rat meat can be sold for four taels of this is the final selling price of the 'sales terminal'. The real 'ex-factory price' from the hunter's hands is about one catty and two cents before it can be sold in large quantities, or it can be delivered directly to regular customers. In the hands of customers, if middlemen are not allowed to make the difference, the price can be as high as three yuan per catty or even more than three yuan.
"A pound of black rat meat."
"At least eight black rats must be hunted."
"In the past ten days, I have hunted less than eight black rats in total."
Wang Zhengyi smiled bitterly: "It turns out that hunting animals in Nanyue Lake is not that easy."
Hunt the beast!
Rat hunting!
It sounds great, but it’s too difficult to actually do it!
Not only the 'Black Rat', but also other valuable exotic beasts, all of them have become like spirits and are too difficult to hunt.
It had been ten days since Wang Zheng arrived in Nanxiong City. In addition to some ordinary beasts and a few black rats, he was lucky enough to hunt an exotic rabbit.
Hunting animals is too difficult!
"However, I heard from hunters who entered the mountain that something is not right in 'Nanyue Lake' recently. They saw black rats killing each other. This is a sign that the 'Black Tide' and the 'Beast Tide' are about to break out."
"Maybe in the near future."
"Maybe the end of the year."
"There must be a 'black tide'!"
Wang Zhengyi is different from the people of Nanxiong City. The local residents here regard the 'black tide' and 'beast tide' as savage beasts. Every time they erupt, it will bring huge disasters and threaten the survival of Nanxiong , the 'Black Tide' breaks out again and again, and the 'Black Rat' floods again and again. The overall number, scale and scope are expanding. The threats of the 'Black Tide' and 'Black Rat' are actually increasing day by day. No one wants to let them go. The 'Black Rat' lives on.
But Wang Zhengyi is different.
He comes from Dayan and has no sense of immersion in Nanxiong City. On the contrary, he is secretly looking forward to the arrival of the 'Black Tide' and the 'Beast Tide'. In this way, in 'Rat and Rat', 'Rat and Beast', 'Rat and Beast', In the ultimate chaos and fighting between humans and animals, and beasts and humans, countless black rats and countless strange beasts surged out. This was disaster, wealth, and opportunity.
Unfortunately, the 'black tide' and 'beast tide' are uncontrollable and may not arrive before February.
"Once February is over, everything comes back to life."
"The 'black rats' are not short of food. If they want to break out again, they will have to wait until the end of the year and the onset of winter."
Wang Zhengyi looked towards Nanyue Lake and waited once served in the Wujia Army of Danhu King City, where he earned one pound of 'black rat meat' every day. As a captain, he also got one pound of 'fishing toad meat' every month, and one pound of 'black snake meat' every year. This is the meat of exotic animals, which is valuable and will greatly help increase you do well in the team and hunt high-level exotic beasts after work, you will earn more, eat more, and your strength will improve faster.
This is one of the reasons why warriors all over the world want to join the armies of the six royal cities.
But now, these benefits are gone.
Wang Zhengyi was knocked back to his original form and had to live a hard life again. Of course, he thought more than anyone else that a 'black tide' and a 'beast tide' would bring him a sudden fortune.
Yan Chuang is different——
"I have "Teaching and Learning." As long as my boxing skills become higher and higher, the efficiency of 'Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound' will be higher, and the progress of 'Bone Training' will be faster."
"This is a fundamental improvement."
"After I have a solid foundation, I will be able to soar into the sky and make great strides with each passing day as long as the resources are in place!"
And now.
Since today.
Yan Chuang wants to slow down the frequency of teaching boxing skills in the miracle doctor Guzhong, and he wants to focus part of his energy on Nanyue Lake and the beasts and strange beasts in the mountains beside the lake.
People follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature!
Yan Chuang wants to——
"Learn from the beasts!"
……
The sun rises.
Yan broke out of the Valley of Divine Doctors and entered the mountains alone.
It's not right to say 'alone'.Although he did not join Wang Zhengyi, Huo Zhen, Jian Rong, Shao Yancong and others, nor did he let Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang and others follow him, there was a civet cat following him furtively.
Sometimes it hides behind a tree, and sometimes it buries its head in falling leaves. When Yan Chuang turns around, it stops, and when Yan Chuang moves forward, it follows.
One, two, three, wooden man, don’t speak or move!
very Chuang didn't care and let him follow.
"Dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, rooster, harrier, swallow, snake, hawk, eagle, eagle, bear."
This is the 'Twelve Shapes', Yan Chuang pondered, "I want to imitate hundreds of beasts, but the 'Dragon Shape' is hard to find. The 'Golden Rock Earth Dragon' is called a 'Dragon', but it is not the same as my 'Dragon Shape' at all." thing."
It's not just the 'dragon shape' that's hard to find.
Even the other eleven shapes seem to be common, but it is not that simple to meet Yan Chuang's requirements.
"Even if I have "Teaching and Learning", I still don't understand the language. It's too difficult to teach tigers to cultivate the 'tiger shape' and teach apes to cultivate the 'monkey shape'. It's just a dream."
"Only if a civet cat like this is spiritual and understands human nature, and with the help of the 75% improvement in understanding efficiency of "Teaching and Learning" and the concentration of martial arts practice given by 'Experiences', this can be possible."
As for ordinary beasts——
"Roar!"
Deep in the mountains, a tiger roared.
"No."
Yan Chuang let a tiger go and couldn't help but shake his head.
Ordinary beasts and birds that are not exotic beasts may also be civilized, but it requires a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a large number of people to 'work miracles with great force'.
That's a 'miracle'.
……
After spending a day in the mountains, Yan Chuang met tigers, taught apes, captured swallows and snakes, and tortured eagles and bears.
But the effect was very little, far less than the excitement when the civet cat was taught the 'Eight Tiger-Shaped Methods' yesterday.
at sunset.
Yan Chuang returned to the Immortal Valley and had a busy day in vain, but he did not give up and turned around to find Fan Zhong and Zang Qi who were lingering in the valley——
One is a young swordsman who practices the "Thirteen Styles of Flying Sand and Rocks" and is devoted to martial arts.
One is an irritable old man who practices 'Fire Dragon Fist', he is upright and arrogant.
Yan Chuang found the two of them and asked, "Do you know the prices of horses, donkeys, and mules in Nanxiong City?"
"Master Yan, I don't know."
Fan Zhong shook his head. He was obsessed with martial arts training and knew very little about it.
On the other hand, Zang Qi, who had rich life experience, opened his mouth and said: "The prices of ordinary horses and blue and white mules are about the same, around five taels. Donkeys cost two or three taels, and ordinary yellow-maned horses cost 15 taels, 20 taels or even three taels depending on their appearance." 50 taels are available. The green-maned horse at the top is the exclusive mount of the 'Green-maned Rider', and each one is worth a hundred taels."
Zang Qi looked at Yan Chuang: "What do you want to buy?"
"can not afford."
Yan Chuang shook his head.
The price of livestock in Nanxiong City is ridiculously high. Even a donkey costs as much as two or three taels, which is the monthly income of an ordinary bodyguard or martial artist in Guangling City.
"Buy me some chickens."
"Buy another ordinary yellow-maned horse."
Yan Chuang took out more than twenty taels of broken silver from his arms, which was all he had with him.
"Got it!"
Zang Qi didn't ask any more questions, took the silver, and said cheerfully: "I'll go to the city to find it for you tomorrow morning. It's worth the money to keep it."
Use martial arts to observe people.
Yan Chuang still trusts Zang Qi. This person cannot do anything like passing off quality goods and absconding with money.
"Trouble bro!"
Yan Chuang thanked him.
……
So, a few more days passed.
Yan Chuang sometimes wanders into the mountains, and sometimes cures diseases, saves people, and teaches boxing in the Valley of Miracle Doctors.
But this time, it wasn’t just people he taught boxing skills to, but also——
……
"chicken?"
Fu Zhe led nine people into the Immortal Valley. As soon as he entered, he saw a man with a loud voice in the valley, teaching man had his back to the mouth of the valley, and there were people on both sides. There was a yellow-maned horse tied in front of the yard, and there was a civet cat in the forest on the side. In front of him was a chicken pen, in which roosters, hens, domestic chickens and pheasants were chirping. Stop, keep running.
"The chicken is a resourceful creature. It is good at fighting by nature. It has the power of independence, the skill of catching kicks, the power of fluttering its feathers, the sensitivity of announcing the dawn, and the courage to bully and fight."
"Practice the chicken legs by raising the chest and lowering the waist. Ren Du circulates and injects the Dantian; raise the knees and look at the arms to step on them to be powerful, revealing the mystery in it."
"The key to practicing the 'Chicken Shape' is to raise your head and chest with high energy, lift your legs and turn your feet, and further grind your shins. The true energy is stored in your body, you can overcome your courage with wisdom, lift and step powerfully, and your legs are quick and agile."
……
Fu Zhe watched the man practicing and teaching boxing. The 'chicken-shaped boxing' looked pretty decent. He glanced at it again and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He saw a turkey in the chicken pen that was red and red. The turkey was independent. , his bright eyes were staring at the man punching, as if he was fascinated.
"This man!"
"This chicken!"
Fu Zhe was amused at first, but suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw that the turkey was not a coincidence. It supported the whole body with one foot, vaguely containing the mystery of Zhuang Kung Fu. If 'independence' and 'standing Zhuang' were coincidences, then this Sometimes the chicken leans up and sometimes down, sometimes it leans forward and sometimes it leans back. This is——
"Iron Mountain!"
