Chapter 6 Sancai TownThat night, Shi Feizhe was afraid of any more troubles, so he stood in a half-asleep and half-awake position until dawn. His eyes were dry and his mind was filled with only two feelings. First, if he travels again in the future and misses his destination, he will be a pig! Second, the idea that standing still or meditating to circulate internal energy can replace sleep is all lies. Third, it is useless to stand in this stance for too long! Forcing yourself to stand in this stance will not increase your Qi but will tire you out! When he was standing in the stance, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and almost fell down several times. In fact, he didn't know that according to the normal practice of "blood, qi and spirit" to condense the true qi, the master really didn't need to sleep and could meditate all night. He is a newbie in martial arts who comes from a strange background. He just wants to stand still and not sleep. He is really like someone who wants to run without knowing how to walk. He is too ambitious! Rubbing his eyes, Shi Feizhe put out the campfire and continued walking towards the west. I was so dizzy along the way that I almost fell asleep when I closed my eyes. I ate some dry food while walking, and around the afternoon, I finally saw an inn on the side of the road. He arrived at the inn, asked for a single room, drew some hot water, washed his face and feet, and slept until the next morning.
Only then did I feel alive! Shi Feizhe returned the single room with a heavy heart and continued on his way. He used to sleep in a large bunk bed, which cost three cents a night. This single room cost twenty cents a night, which was equal to his previous monthly income at the clinic! I was really too tired yesterday, and I wanted to indulge myself for once, so I didn't want to squeeze into the big bunk bed and be disturbed by others. If you have money, you are the boss wherever you go! He sighed and walked west along the road. Along the way, many people from the underworld, carrying bags and weapons, also headed west. There were also some horse caravans heading towards Sancai Town. Those people from the underworld walked together, not paying any attention to Shi Feizhe. They chatted as they walked, mostly about trivial matters. What? Lijiazhuang and Wangjiazhuang are fighting again. I, Shanjianhu, was invited by Lijiazhuang to go and help. How awesome! The others all praised him, saying, "Brother, you are awesome!" After he finished speaking, other people also said that wherever the eight-armed ape went, he would support people and said how majestic and loyal he was. Their voices were quite loud, and Shi Feizhe could hear them all the way. He looked strange, was this what Jianghu was like? Why do I feel like these are all done by some low-class hooligans? Shi Feizhe continued listening until noon, and finally figured it out. It turned out that these people were just rookies in the martial arts world! In their hometown, they could earn a living by showing off their martial arts skills, instead of working for others like Shi Feizhe. However, they had no internal skills, nor any other way to obtain martial arts secrets, so they planned to go to Sancai Town and try their luck like Shi Feizhe. If you are lucky, you might get a secret book by chance, and from then on you can practice true Qi and become a master of true Qi. If that doesn't work, you can also join some sects. They look very old, but they are actually only in their early twenties. People who start making a living early tend to look older! When you are in the underworld, you are always carried by others. If you brag, others will flatter you. If others brag, you will naturally flatter them too. There is give and take, this is how the world works! The most useful thing I heard was that after Huang Tian moved into Yiyang City, the people in the city fought very hard. For those who helped, they offered very high rewards. So those people who usually made a living by relying on their reputation in the countryside quickly ran away. If they want to get this money, they have to survive! You want his money, he wants your life! Such a slippery character really made Shi Feizhe look up to them. Think about it, there are only a few fools who can survive in the underworld. After walking for two days with this group of boastful guys, we finally arrived at Sancai Town.
Sancai Town is a town that runs from east to west and is close to a small lake. There are no memorial archways or gatehouses in the town, but there is a stone tablet outside the town with the words "Sancai" on it. There was a main street in the middle of the town, which was more lively than Shi Feizhe had expected. There were all kinds of people coming and going, and Shi Feizhe had heard three or four accents. Whether the doors face south or north, there are small restaurants, inns and study rooms everywhere on the street. The large manor facing south and sitting north at the westernmost end of Sancai Town is Sancai Manor. The rest of the people naturally settled in the town. When people gather together, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are inevitable. It is possible that all the industries in this town come from Sancai Village! Therefore, the small restaurants and inns in the town were within Shi Feizhe's expectations. After all, so many people came to Sancai Manor to read the martial arts secrets for free, and it was impossible for Sancai Manor to provide food and accommodation. Only the study and bookstore exceeded Shi Feizhe's expectations. Whenever he saw a martial arts expert coming from the east, the book boy standing at the door of the study would shout, "The exclusive "Detailed Explanation of Martial Arts" from Jingxinzhai contains the latest progress in cracking the secrets in recent years! Three taels of silver will not buy you a loss or a scam! We will help you crack martial arts as soon as possible, succeed in "seeing the truth", step into "transcendence", and be the best in the martial arts world!" Shi Feizhe also knew that there were "mortal realm", "mortal realm" and "real realm" in martial arts. There is a higher realm above the realm of true person. People like them only know about the higher realm but don’t know what to call it. Entering the mortal realm is divided into three stages: "Blood Pass", "Spirit Pass" and "Seeing the Truth Pass". These three passes are called "Three Passes of Leaving the World". After passing these three levels, you will reach the state of transcendence! As for whether there are three stages in the state of transcendence, these boastful guys still don’t know, and they say that there is an explanation in Sancai Manor. According to the servant boy at the study, it seems that they have collected the deciphering results of people who have entered Sancai Manor over the years. To be honest, Shi Feizhe was somewhat tempted. Watching these cracking results and finding cracking ideas would be very helpful for him to enter the casino! But three taels of silver are too expensive! He continued to walk inside, and heard someone shouting, "Fang Xinzhai's exclusive "Detailed Explanation of Martial Arts", compiled by a master himself! Two taels of silver can't buy you a loss..." Boy, you guys are starting to get excited! It seems that this thing is not valuable! He entered Fangxinzhai and saw the book boy who said enthusiastically, "Young man, would you like a copy of "Detailed Explanation of Martial Arts"? " God has mercy on him. This is the first time in Shi Feizhe’s life that someone has called him “young hero”! Sure enough, sales staff from all over the world are sweet-talkers! After entering Fangxinzhai, it is quite large. As soon as you enter, you will see several mahogany lacquerware shelves, with pens, inkstones, and paper placed on them. There are also shelves in the corners around, stacked with paper, books, stationery, etc. In one of the corners, there was a flat-top desk, where a big man in a gray robe and with a fleshy face sat, copying a book seriously. "No, I'm just going to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone." Shi Feizhe shook his head and looked at the shelves carefully. He really needed to buy something to copy. "The pens we have here are made of top-quality wolf and goat hair. The papers include peach blossom paper, magnetic blue paper, flower curtain paper, etc. The inks include yellow ink and Xuan ink..." the book boy introduced incessantly. "Is there the cheapest one?" Shi Feizhe felt that these things were so expensive and couldn't help but ask. The study rooms are very voluminous!
