MTL - As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Chapter 27 Liehuzhuang

  Chapter 27 Hunting Tiger Village

   years later.

  The spring is cold and the ice on the river has not completely melted. The herb collectors in Pingan Town have carried their medicine baskets into the mountains and started the new year's work.

  Deep in the forest, the snow and ice on the wooden roof melted slowly, and several water pockets dripped on the ground, and unknown little water bugs scurried around in it...

  Under the eaves, a small clay oven was burning vigorously, and the tea was gurgling. Jiang Ming was reclined on the bamboo chair with his eyes slightly closed, casually humming a tune from his previous life.

   "I'm at the city tower... looking at... the mountain scenery... hearing the chaos outside the city..."

  He wanted to stay in the town for a few more days, but he didn't expect that just after the Chinese New Year, many strangers came to Ping'an Town. They wandered around mysteriously all day long.

  Jiang Ming was too lazy to inquire, so he handed over the house to A Fei to take care of him. He took the medicine basket and went into the mountains, practicing boxing and drinking tea every day, leisurely.

   The prescription of the martial arts secret medicine obtained by Jiang Ming is almost the same as that studied by Jiang Ming, but there are a few herbs that are not available in the mountains, and the medicinal soup that is brewed is always almost interesting...

   "But it's much better than a big mess. Drink a bowl of this medicinal soup every day... My current blood is more than three to five times stronger than when I first joined the martial arts, and I'm only one step away from a third-rate martial artist."

   "It's time to go to Fucheng to learn martial arts..." Jiang Ming exhaled a long breath, stood up from the chair, and there was no point in staying any longer.

   One step away, it may also be a natural moat!

  Old Zhou Tou has been wandering in the middle of nowhere all his life, but he has not been able to cross that threshold. Now he has many temples and has been sick for more than a century...

  Jiang Ming walked into the pharmacy, which was almost empty, and most of the medicinal materials had already been carried by him to the drug market for sale.

   There are only some rare medicinal materials with high prices left. Jiang Ming stuffs them all into the medicine basket, and prepares to bring them into the city to sell in pharmacies. The price will be four or five times higher than the purchase price in the medicine market.

  As for the ten times the fine, he doesn't care at all, anyway, he doesn't plan to go back to be a herbal picker anytime soon...

  Jiang Ming took out the money bag from under the bed board again, and weighed it in his hand.

  With the money he earned from collecting herbs for the past six months, plus the two windfalls, Jiang Ming's current wealth is nearly two hundred taels of silver, which is enough to live in Fucheng for a long time.

  …

  The next morning, the cold fog filled the air, and the slanting moon hung in the distance.

   "Fourth Master, see you again!" Jiang Ming put a white rabbit back into the mountain and waved his hand.

  In winter, wild beasts dormant in the mountains, but Fourth Master Bai has lived until now. After eating the carrots, he also gave him a lot of herbs.

  Cuckoo~

  The rabbit reluctantly arched its forelegs, then disappeared into the forest...

  Jiang Ming also left with the medicine basket on his back, did not return to Ping'an Town, and went directly to Fucheng.

  Find a pharmacy, sold all the medicinal materials in the medicine basket, and made more than 20 taels of silver, and then he went straight to Liehuzhuang.

   "Lao Zhoutou learned Fuhu Fist from here. If I want to continue learning martial arts... naturally this is the most suitable place."

  At the entrance of Liehu Manor, the door was wide open, and two strong men full of vitality stood at the door at random, but they looked like two fierce tigers, making people dare not approach at will.

  Jiang Ming, with his luggage on his back, walked up to the two of them slowly, and slightly cupped his hands: "The herb picker in Ping'an Town—Jiang Ming, come here to ask for a way out."

   "Go in." A strong man raised his eyelids and said calmly.

  The beginning of spring is the time for the major forces to recruit people, and Liehuzhuang is no exception. In the past few days, many people have come to sign up and wait for the entrance examination.

  Stepping through the two dark and thick gates, Jiang Ming, led by a servant, passed through the front yard, garden and other places, and finally came to a practice square paved with bluestone.

   At this moment, a dozen people of different ages had already gathered in the square, among them there was even a dark-skinned woman with thick bones and steady eyes... It looked like she had practiced martial arts.

   In front of these people, several people with uniform costumes are competing for trials.

To be precise, seven or eight people were carrying wooden knives and sticks, and they were besieging a big naked man with stubble on his face, eight feet tall, and he was attacking all directions with his bare hands, like a tiger attacking. unspeakable.

   Bang bang bang!

  Those wooden knives and sticks hit the big man, making an overwhelmed creaking sound. Due to excessive force, a disciple unexpectedly made a "click" and broke the wooden stick into two pieces.

"See, this is the most powerful headhunter in our village, Mr. Guan Feng, a second-rate warrior!" The servant said to Jiang Ming proudly: "If you are lucky enough to pass the examination, remember to salute Mr. Guan Feng when you see him in the future. ,do you know?"

   "I know, I know..." Jiang Ming said quickly, and smiled in his heart.

  Guan Feng's strength is obviously far superior to those of those few people. If he really made a move, he might be able to shoot a large piece of air with a slap. At this time, he deliberately showed off his strength in order to show off to these outsiders...

   "Okay, it's time!" Guan Feng seemed to have just seen Jiang Ming and the others, and ordered: "Close the door and start today's assessment."

  The servant left in a hurry, while Guan Feng turned his head and stared at Jiang Ming and the others.

  He was still exuding heat, and no matter who he glanced at with his tiger eyes, he would make the opponent's body tighten, as if he was being stared at by a fierce tiger that would prey on anyone.

   "I know, all of you are here... to join my Liehu Village!" Guan Feng said loudly after finishing his tour:

   "I believe everyone has heard of the rules of this village. No money is accepted from you... If you fail the assessment, even if you send money, the village will not accept anyone!"

   "And if you pass the assessment, you will be a member of Liehuzhuang from now on, and you will share weal and woe from now on! In Dayun Mansion...no matter where you are bullied, you can come to me, and this village will definitely stand up for you and seek justice!"

   "Okay..." There were enthusiastic shouts in the square, and everyone was very excited, wishing to join Liehu Village immediately.

  Jiang Ming also admired it in his heart. This approach is many times better than those martial arts gyms in the city that charge ten taels of silver a month...

  However... the assessment of Liehu Manor may not be easy.

   Soon, everyone was taken to a narrow side alley.

  The alley is two to three meters wide and tens of meters long. It is filled with wooden dummy piles for practicing exercises. What is strange is that the bottom piles are thick and long, interlaced with the feet of other wooden dummy piles.

"This is the 'Wooden Tiger Formation' of my hunting tiger village. Any hunter including me...must practice this formation every day!" Guan Feng introduced: "The faster you pass, the higher your status in the village will be. Higher!"

   "If you pass within one stick of incense, you can pass the assessment and join the village, and if you pass half a stick of incense, you can join the Tiger Hunting Team..."

   "Ten breaths pass...you can become a headhunter!"

  Hoo~

  Such a simple and crude assessment method instantly made everyone short of breath and excited.

   No need to play tricks, no need to engage in relationships, as long as you have enough strength, you can have corresponding interests and status. The seemingly simple rules are enough to impress anyone...
