Chapter 51 Green Forest
Chapter 51 Green Forest
After two days of hard work, Xu Qing finally settled the matter with Li Dianshi. He then went straight to the government jail.
"Brother Wang, thank you for your help." Xu Qing bowed to express his gratitude, followed by the Guo Zhuang brothers.
He entered the prison in the name of official communication between the county and prefectural governments.
Guard Wang quickly moved away. He knew how important Xu Qing was in the heart of Lord Fu Zun, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Xu Sanyuan, please don't embarrass me. If you have something to ask me, I will do it. Don't say 'thank you', it will seem strange."
Xu Qing laughed: "Brother Wang, you are too polite. How effective are the Rehmannia Pills? I will give you a few more some other day."
"This pill is really effective, and I don't feel as tired as before afterwards." Guard Wang's face was full of joy when he heard Xu Qing talking about the pill.
Rehmannia Pills are the Liuwei Dihuang Pills from Xu Qing's previous life, which have the effect of nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney.
In fact, there must be similar pills in this world, but the medical families of this era often cherish their own secrets and rarely pass on their secret medicines to others.
Therefore, even if there is, it is not something that someone like Guard Wang can easily access.
Moreover, after leaving the Great Zen Temple, fellow disciple Wang and his brother had no prescription for practicing martial arts. If they had not followed Prefect He and enjoyed some resources, their martial arts would have regressed.
This is also the method used by powerful forces between black and white such as the Great Zen Temple to control the warriors under them.
You can leave this temple if you want, but you won’t have the medicine to practice in the future.
The most important thing in martial arts training is the word "supplement". Therefore, even if the tonic method has no specific effect on martial arts training, it can still play a significant role in maintaining the condition and continuing physical strength.
"It's a pity that the coral snake is hard to find. Otherwise, with this recipe in hand, my strength can improve much faster than it is now."
This was also Xu Qing's intention in coming to the government prison.
Niu Peng was imprisoned in the government prison. He was one of the leaders of the Black Wind Village in Qixia Mountain.
The Bungarus multicinctus is a specialty of Mount Qixia.
It is possible that Black Wind Village has stocks of silver ring snakes. If he can get a live snake from them, it will be of even greater significance to Xu Qing.
In addition, Niu Peng is the most skilled fighter among all the fighters Xu Qing has ever seen.
The two guards, Wang and Ma, are definitely no match for Niu Peng if they fight alone.
...
...
"Mr. Wang, you want to get the practice method of the Bull Demon's Power Fist from my grandfather, but you'd better give up this idea." Niu Peng cursed when he saw Guard Wang coming again.
The joint of his jaw had been straightened, but he still had a lisp when he spoke.
"Niu Peng, be honest. This is the local scholar who has won the imperial examination. He has something to ask you. If you answer it well, you may have a chance to survive."
"Three Prizes Scholar? Oh, you are the boy named Xu. I have seen you on the street. It's a pity that I didn't have the heart to kill you at that time." Niu Peng's fierce eyes fell on Xu Qing.
However, he was handcuffed and chained, and his joints were removed, so he couldn't pounce on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing saw the power of the Bull Demon's powerful punch and thought:
"He has been locked up for a few days, and his limbs have been dislocated, but he still has plenty of energy. The Bull Demon's powerful fist is indeed very skillful."
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately said, "There is no regret medicine in this world. What's the point of you saying it now? You might as well answer my question honestly, at least you can avoid some physical pain."
"Grandpa is not someone who can be scared. You can kill me or chop me up as you please." Niu Peng said firmly.
Xu Qing didn't answer, but winked at Guo Zhuang behind him. Professional matters should naturally be done by professionals.
Guo Zhuang understood what he meant and said to Guard Wang, "Commander Wang, can I borrow your land for a while? This Black Bull is not being honest, I will make him sober up."
Guard Wang sighed, "Please."
He was half a gangster, so he didn't torture Niu Peng and kept trying to persuade him with kind words.
But this black guy is so stubborn!
Master Xu was a kind man and did not want to watch the execution, so he took Guard Wang outside to get some fresh air.
After a stick of incense had passed, the howling inside slowly stopped.
Guo Zhuang came out sweating profusely and said to Xu Qing respectfully, "Sir, he is willing to speak." Xu Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Guo Zhuang's heart warmed up and he felt as if all the bones in his body were lighter.
The young master is impeccable in this regard.
He is always kind and friendly to those below him, without any of the arrogance of a scholar.
But when they get cruel, they can be very scary, so no one will look down on them.
Such a person is worthy of his following until death.
Xu Qing came to Niu Peng again.
Niu Peng didn't even have the energy to curse or get angry.
Seeing Guo Zhuang standing respectfully beside Xu Qing, it was as if he had met the Black and White Impermanence.
He said weakly, "If you also want the method of Bull Demon's Great Strength Fist, it's useless for me to tell you, because there is no medicine. If they practice, at most they will weaken their bodies. If you practice, you will be a little boy with insufficient Qi and blood. I'm afraid you won't live to be twenty years old."
Xu Qing: "Whether I practice or not is my business, and whether I say it or not is your business."
Niu Peng sneered: "If you want to die, I won't stop you."
Then Niu Peng recited a boxing formula, speaking a little quickly. After he finished, he looked at Xu Qing provocatively: "Since you are a great scholar, you must have a good memory. You must have remembered it just now."
Xu Qing smiled lightly, picked up a few paragraphs that didn't make sense to him, and asked Niu Peng about them. Seeing that his answer was exactly the same as the first time, he talked about this and that for a while, and suddenly continued to check a paragraph, making sure that there was no inconsistency between what Niu Peng said before and after, and then he believed that what he said was the real formula.
Niu Peng: "Are you scholars always so careful in doing things? Aren't you tired of playing tricks every day?"
Xu Qing: "The preparations for the imperial examinations are more complicated and tedious than these, so if you want to say it's tiring, it's not as tiring as the imperial examinations."
Niu Peng's face twitched, and he tried to make up for it by saying, "This is also the reason why I didn't like studying for the imperial examinations before."
When he said this, even Guard Wang and Guo Zhuang laughed.
There seems to be a hint of happiness in the air.
Niu Peng's old face turned red.
Xu Qing came to his rescue, avoided the topic and asked, "Are there still Bungarus species in Qixia Mountain?"
Niu Peng said subconsciously: "There are more than a dozen in the village."
Xu Qing was delighted when he heard that.
I didn't expect there was one alive.
Niu Peng quickly responded: "Why are you asking this?"
Then he reacted: "This thing is very tonic, it is indeed very beneficial to martial arts practice. I didn't expect that you also knew about this thing."
He thought he was smart for once, thinking that Xu Qing asked the silver ring snake in order to practice the Bull Demon Fist.
This also explains why Xu Qing suddenly mentioned this thing.
Xu Qing: "Brother Niu is indeed smart. I am interested in this item. Please help me."
Niu Peng: "That snake is extremely valuable. My leader brother will not give it to you for no reason."
Xu Qing said slowly, "Why don't you put your handprint on it, Brother Niu, and I'll write a letter for you, and see if we can work together."
Niu Peng's face darkened: "What fingerprints are you pressing? I can write."
He couldn't stay in this prison any longer. If he had a chance to get out, he would definitely try it.
Even if it's a trap.
Moreover, if the boss couldn't bear to part with the silver ring snake, there would be no need for him to continue working for the Black Wind Village.
This is also the logic of the outlaws. If he is unkind, then I am unjust!
