Martial arts start from the visualization of tortoise breathing

Chapter 87; Lingbaozhai

Before and after the incense sticks, Fang Ping saw the famous dishes handed down from generation to generation recommended by the proprietress: fermented radish skin, crispy fried cucumber, steamed yellow croaker, and egg drop soup in soup.

Let’s just talk about the crispy fried cucumbers. The hollowed out cucumbers are stuffed with minced meat. After taking a bite, you will feel the crispness and freshness of cucumbers, as well as the rich and crispy meat aroma.

The fermented radish skin was also extraordinary. The crystal clear white radish was carved into the shape of a lotus flower. It was obviously marinated with secret spices, sprinkled with some strong wine, and it was a raw food in the mouth. crisp.

Then there was the egg drop soup. The surface of the soup was filled with a faint lotus fragrance, and there was a layer of egg drop floating on it. Fang Ping took a sip, and it was quite good. With the addition of mint, it was appetizing and delicious.

"I want to eat this." Fang Ying picked up a piece of wine-stuffed radish skin, and swallowed it into her stomach, with a unique flavor, and the little girl who ate it was full of surprise.

Shuttle in the lobby of the inn, the proprietress who entertained the regular customers came to the table in time, "How about it, it still suits the taste of the guest officer."

Fang Ping glanced cleanly at the middle-aged lady, the charming lady boss, nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, I am not from Daze Prefecture, and I brought my mother and sister to Daze Prefecture on this trip. This long stay."

The proprietress knew it well, she saw that Fang Ping was not from Daze Prefecture when she entered the door, and there were not too many people who moved their families to Daze Prefecture every day. The guest officer will stay in the small shop first, and the first day's accommodation is free, if the guest officer wants to buy a place, I can help you find it."

"No, I still have to give the money. Fang never takes advantage of others." Fang Ping smiled slightly, and communicated with the proprietress, and learned a lot from the other party. Fang Ping came to Daze Prefecture City earlier. Information not understood.

During the period, the handsome old Bai pretended to clean up the table, heard Fang Ping's word for word, and learned that Fang Ping brought his mother and sister to live in Daze Prefecture. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief quietly and muttered: "It seems that I am suspicious, he is not here to catch me."

"Old Bai! Old Bai!" The proprietress shouted loudly; "Come quickly, the guest officer asked where there is an alchemist in the city, do you know?"

"Alchemy master? Does this guy want to hire someone to make pills?" Lao Bai appeared at the table and told Fangping that there are many alchemists in the city, but the cost of asking them to make pills is extremely expensive, and the nearest "Lingbaozhai", there is a master of alchemy.

After speaking, Lao Bai returned to his job to wipe the table.

"Brother Bai, who is handsome, is willing to work as a small running hall with the proprietress. The proprietress is really lucky." Fang Ping said.

The proprietress’s face was reddish, and Lao Bai was handsome and tall. All the older girls and daughters-in-law living nearby knew about it, and there were many people gossiping about her, saying that she was an old cow eating young grass, but only she knew that Lao Bai committed crimes. Pass!

"The guest officer eats first, call me if you have any orders." The proprietress left.

Fang Ping was disappointed, he wanted to ask the proprietress about the origin of Lao Bai.

According to Fang Ping's observation, this old white's strength is unfathomable, his legs are erratic, and his steps are nimble. He should be good at martial arts such as light kung fu and agility. How could such a master stay in an inn for no reason? guest?

"Forget it, I don't want to." Fang Ping lowered his head to cook.

Everyone has their own secrets, and being too curious can lead to trouble.

After dinner, the old white man led Fang Ping to the guest room.

"Guest officer, look at how clean this room is. It faces south, with plenty of sunlight, and even the floor has been newly replaced."

"Do you really think of yourself as a waiter? With your acting skills, who would believe that you are a master of martial arts." Fang Ping tacitly threw out a piece of loose money.

"Okay, sir, take a rest and call me if you have anything to do."

With a creak, the door closed.

"It's such a big bed, I can finally have a good night's sleep!"

Fang Ying, who was full of food and drink, rushed to the bed, and lay sprawled on the bed without taking off her shoes.

"This child." Li Rou stepped forward and helped Fang Ying take off her shoes.

"It's bumpy all the way, mother, you should rest first, I'll go to the street and have a look." Fang Ping went straight to the street.

After wandering around for a long time, Fang Ping appeared in front of a treasure building with no white people.

There are three big characters "Lingbaozhai" written on the plaque of Baolou.

In the magnificent hall, the floor is paved with smooth and dust-free natural stone like marble, and the medicine cabinet is full of rare medicinal materials.

Even the servants who entertain the guests are all iconic girls in uniform costumes.

After Fang Ping walked into the hall, a maid greeted him, smiling like a spring breeze, and asked Fang Ping what medicinal materials he wanted to buy.

"I want to ask someone to make alchemy. I heard that there is a master alchemist in Lingbaozhai. Come and visit me." Fang Ping replied.

"I'm afraid not. Master Qin only refines one batch of alchemy a month, except for acquaintances. If guests want to refine alchemy, please wait until the beginning of the month."

Fang Ping frowned, shook his arm, and dropped a tael of silver, "Girl, you lost your money."

The maid Bingxue picked up the silver wisely, "Thank you for reminding me, young master, you see, I was so careless... How about I go and inform you and see what Master Qin has to say."

Fang Ping clicked.

When Shaoqing's maid came back, she sighed softly: "Master Qin said, we can't break the rules, let the young master come back at the beginning of the month."

After all the money was taken, the maid added: "What kind of elixir do you want to make, sir? If you ask Master Qin to make alchemy, you need to prepare for the consumption of five medicinal materials for one batch of elixir. After the elixir is produced, Master Qin will take away half of the batch of elixir."

The conditions are not harsh, and the status of the alchemist can be seen from this.

"If I can learn alchemy, then I can make elixirs by myself."

Fang Ping thought for a while, and felt that it was unrealistic, not to mention that alchemy requires talent, and he has no one to teach it.

"excuse me."

After leaving Lingbaozhai, Fang Ping thought about whether to find another alchemist to try.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted. More than a dozen black-armored heavy cavalry on steeds galloped to stop in front of Lingbaozhai. After they dispersed, a big ox-like beast with yellow spots all over its body, commonly known as a gold-graded worm , carrying a flat-chested, rough-skinned heroic woman on her back, "It really is you! Why don't you come to Daze Prefecture without looking for me first?"

Chu Ying stared at the boy with piercing eyes and asked.

Fang Ping laughed: "You asked me to go there to inform you? Besides, how did you know that I came to Daze Prefecture? I have only been in the city for half a day."

Chu Ying turned over and landed on the ground, and said as capable as a man: "Who am I? The thousand-man general who leads the heavy armored black cavalry in Daze Prefecture, anyone will report to me immediately any news in Daze Prefecture, let alone You entered the city riding a heterogeneous BMW, as soon as I heard that someone entered the city riding a heterogeneous BMW, I guessed it was you."

Fang Ping was speechless. He fought side by side with Chu Ying to eradicate Lianjiabao, so he was acquainted, but it was not for the sake of friends. If this woman hadn't come out by herself, Fang Ping really didn't think about it. Find each other in the past.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll cleanse you up!" Chu Ying shouted carelessly, just short of calling Fang Ping brothers.

This boldness, Fang Ping can't think of himself.

Chapter 88; The Huang Family

Feiyun Building.

It is a very famous restaurant in Dazefu city, and those who can come to Feiyunlou to eat are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and a meal costs dozens of taels of silver.

If you want to eat the top delicacies prepared by the master chef himself, you will need hundreds of taels of silver, more than hundreds of taels of silver.

At this time, Fang Ping sat down slowly on the fifth floor by the window, looking down from a high position, it looked like a peaceful and prosperous age, the people lived in peace and contentment, and the business was prosperous, but this was all an illusion, as long as you walked out of Daze Prefecture City and took a look You will understand that there are tens of thousands of refugees gathered on the official roads outside the Fucheng, and it is not difficult to imagine what the world will be like in the various counties of Dazefu.

"Come on, let's have a drink first." Chu Ying, who ordered a table of dishes and a pot of good wine, was still as bold as a man, raised her glass, and wanted to have a drink with Fang Ping.

"I'm so sorry, I don't drink at all, it's a habit." Fang Ping didn't care if it would spoil the other party's interest, and if he didn't drink, he didn't drink.

"What's wrong with taking a sip? Among the warriors I know, there is no one who doesn't drink alcohol." Chu Ying muttered, asking why Fang Ping appeared in front of Lingbao Zhai.

Fang Ping told the truth that he wanted to find the alchemist in Lingbaozhai to refine the elixir for him.

"What elixir do you want to refine?"

"Dragon Tiger Pill, have you heard of it?"

Chu Ying shook her head, she had never heard of it before, "The alchemists in Daze Prefecture are the only ones with names and surnames, and everyone has weird temperaments and strict rules. I happen to know one, but I can help you." Playing around with one or two can save you a lot of trouble."

"Okay." Fang Ping smiled slightly, and chatted with Chu Ying for a while.

"What is your cultivation level now?" Chu Ying suddenly asked the question she was most concerned about.

Thinking back to when the two joined hands to kill Lian Feihu, Fang Ping's explosive strength really shocked her. From that day on, Chu Ying knew that Fang Ping's strength was beyond imagination.

Not only the strength, but also the age is shocking. There is no other young and powerful young warrior like Fang Ping in Daze Prefecture.

"It's okay, I haven't made much progress, I'm used to being lazy." Fang Ping took a mouthful of food and replied slowly.

"Bah, you don't have a single word of truth in your mouth!" Chu Ying snorted, showing a bit of a girlishness, "I have seen with my own eyes that you are better than me when you attack Lian Feihu. You are not weaker than me. Now Now that you have come to Dazefu City, I can recommend you to be a general of a thousand people, and a general of ten thousand people is not out of the question."

Chu Ying herself is a general of thousands of people, but she commands the most elite heavy armored cavalry in Daze Prefecture, and her status is not inferior to those generals of thousands of people in Daze Prefecture.

"Don't, my family knows my family, don't talk about thousands of generals, I can't manage a village if you give me." Fang Ping firmly rejected Chu Ying's proposal.

"Then where do you live?"

"Tongfu Inn."

"Okay, I'll send someone to inform you when the matter of alchemy has taken shape."

"Tongfu Inn has a waiter, handsome and fair-skinned." Fang Ping murmured meaningfully.

Chu Ying was puzzled, what does this have to do with her.

"Just say it casually." Fang Ping could see that this woman had no idea that there was a martial arts master hidden in the Tongfu Inn.

As the sky darkened, a group of white geese flew across the sky.

Fang Ping went back to the Tongfu Inn. When he went upstairs, he saw the lady proprietress, who was a middle-aged woman, arguing with Lao Bai, who was carrying a bag. He heard the voice of the proprietress, and it was Lao Bai who wanted to go out to avoid the limelight, but the proprietress refused.

"Could it be because I came that this happened?"

Fang Ping laughed dumbfounded. He really wanted to escape. He could leave without disturbing the lady boss anytime and anywhere, but he wanted to leave at the time when he came back from outside. There was no doubt that this was for himself.

As expected, when Fang Ping disappeared at the stairs, the two people who were chattering a second ago stopped immediately.

"Look, let's just say that that person didn't come to catch you. Why are you so timid, and you want to run away at the slightest sign of trouble." The proprietress scolded with resentful eyes.

"What do women know? If I don't test him, will I be able to sleep at night?" Lao Bai put down his luggage, and he was still a little shy after thinking about it. He is not weak, but he is timid. The only weakness.

……

On the bed, Fang Ying breathed and fell asleep with her eyelashes fluttering. Li Rou stood by and watched her son come back. She got up and poured a cup of tea for Fang Ping, saying, "There is something, the shopkeeper Tong came here. , and also sent tea and fruit snacks, and asked where we came from."

Fang Ping was vigilant: "Did you tell her everything?"

"How can it be? Mother didn't tell the truth." Li Rou replied firmly. She had no knowledge, but under Fang Ping's subtle influence, she also knew the truth that people's hearts are unpredictable and they should always be on guard.

"If she comes again, mother, you can say what you want, you don't have to hide it." Fang Ping comforted.

Just ask, because there is nothing to ask anyway.

Li Rou didn't even know the martial arts system, let alone Fang Ping's level of martial artist, so shopkeeper Tong could at most find out that the family came from Shanyang County.It's good to know, then Lao Bai will know that Fang Ping is not here for him, and he can be his waiter with peace of mind.

A few days passed by in an instant.

【Vision points: 166】

After opening his eyes and finishing his training, Fang Ping walked out of the house and came to the backyard of the inn.

What catches the eyes is a huge millstone and an ancient well.

There are several horses in the stables.

The exotic BMW was too big to be kept in the stable, so it was tied to the millstone, and the big black dog was also there.

"Why are you here, guest officer? You're doing well, this exotic BMW. I feed you meat supplements every day."

Lao Bai appeared, holding a wooden barrel in his arms, which contained chopped meat.

"Boring, let's take a look. How long have you been working in this inn?" Fang Ping asked casually.

"It's been... three years. Thanks to the shopkeeper for taking me in, I have a shelter from the wind and rain."

"Have you ever thought about leaving?"

"I never thought about it. Living an ordinary life is better than anything else, but lack of money. Back then, I was... ahem."

Fang Ping smiled, thinking about what happened back then?Go on chatting.

In the afternoon, a burly man in heavy armor came to the inn.

"Mr. Fang, Master Chu Ying asked me to tell you that she has already made an agreement with the old lady of the Huang family to help you refine the elixir you need, but you need to visit the door in person." After the burly man relayed the news, Just walk away.

"Huang's family?" Fang Ping immediately went to shopkeeper Tong to inquire.

The Huang family is one of the four great gentry in Dazefu City. After more than ten generations of precipitation, the family has great achievements and extraordinary heritage. The owner of this generation is named Huang He. He is 60 years old. He is a warrior and an alchemist.

Chapter 89; Commissioned

Dazefu City is also divided into inner city and outer city.

The people living in the outer city are all ordinary people, while the people living in the inner city are big gentry families. This kind of class distinction will not change just because Dazefu City is the capital city, but it is insurmountable and firm.

As one of the four great gentry in Dazefu City, the Huang family started their family by selling porcelain. After more than a dozen generations of hard work, they have achieved what they are today, with tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land and a hundred acres of manor. There are thousands of people.

At the beginning of the last hour (after one o'clock in the afternoon), in front of the magnificent Huang's mansion in the high-walled compound, a boy with thick arms, an ordinary face, and a cropped head greeted him.

Fang Ping raised his hand and knocked on the main door, and the servant who opened the door looked him up and down, maybe because of Fang Ping's ordinary clothes, some dog-eyed people asked: "Master ordered, thank you behind closed doors today. for what?"

"Ask your master to make alchemy for me." Fang Ping handed over a piece of scattered silver.
