After finishing the noodles and sending Wu Qiuyue away, Zhang Yongsheng continued cleaning. He was busy until after four o'clock in the afternoon before he basically finished it. He finally had a place to sleep at night. The conditions in the town are not good, with old houses and old furniture. Zhang Yongsheng is used to this and has nothing to fault.
After cleaning the house, Zhang Yongsheng changed his clothes and went out. He was going to Zeng Guoquan's pharmacy. Zeng Guoquan's drug store is in the center of the town. The location is easy to find and everyone in the town knows it. He practiced medicine here and lived in seclusion for decades, and gained a high reputation among the people.
When Zhang Yongsheng came to the door, there was still a queue in the pharmacy, and several patients were waiting for Zeng Guoquan to see a doctor and get medicine. Zeng Guoquan's grandson Zeng Yi was busy at the counter, busy weighing and grabbing medicines. Each medicine was neatly wrapped in paper and tied with string to look like a standard medicine bag.
Zeng Yi is a young man about the same age as Zhang Yongsheng, studying in the middle school in the town. His grades were relatively average and he failed to get into the county middle school. In addition to going to school every day, he also has to come back to help Zeng Guoquan and prepare medicines for the patients. His life is quite busy.
Compared with Zeng Yi, Zhang Yongsheng feels that he is too happy. Even before meeting Liang Aiping, he didn't have much to do. He would play around with Zhao Yunfei and others after school, and his grades would naturally be a mess. But Zhang Yongsheng still envies Zeng Yi, because this man is a genius.
Zhang Yongsheng's outstanding martial arts skills did not come from the secrets passed down from his family's ancestors, but from the awakening of his previous life. He used the secret book passed down from his ancestors as a cover because the awakening was difficult to explain. Zeng Yi was a genius who truly relied on secrets to cultivate himself. He was a rare genius in medicine and martial arts who could not be seen in a century.
After two lifetimes of experience and cultivation, Zhang Yongsheng has only seen such a genius. At only sixteen years old, Zeng Yi's martial arts attainments are already comparable to those of ordinary people who have practiced for twenty or thirty years. Zeng Guoquan taught him Taoist health-preserving skills that he has been practicing since he was a child. Zhang Yongsheng was also impressed by the purity of his skills.
This Taoist health-preserving skill itself can only maintain the body and keep fit, but cannot be used for actual combat. It is a pity that decades of skill cannot be used in actual combat. But after meeting Zhang Yongsheng, this internal skill was improved and developed by him, turning it into a Taoist martial arts internal skill.
The cause of the incident was last summer, when Zhang Yongsheng had just awakened, and as usual during the summer vacation, he returned to his hometown to participate in the Ghost Festival to worship his ancestors. While sorting out the old books left by my grandfather, I discovered some martial arts secrets. Zhang Yongsheng was shocked and studied it carefully while sorting out the books.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these books are ancient books with incomprehensible language. The words in them are very obscure and generally cannot be understood by high school students who have only studied elementary classical Chinese. But as the reincarnation of a martial arts master, Zhang Yongsheng naturally had the abilities of his previous life after awakening, and could easily understand these martial arts secrets.
These secret books are from more than a hundred years ago. They were collected by Zhang Yongsheng's grandfather from the library of a wealthy family when he was young. Because they were not famous and rare books, and they didn't ask for any money, they moved a lot of them to Zhang's house and hid them in his grandfather's study.
Zhang Yongsheng's grandfather had limited education and could only read some martial arts novels and miscellaneous books such as Zhiren Zhiwei Wei, so these secret books were thrown aside. After Zhang Yongsheng sorted out the books, he found that most of the martial arts in them were far inferior to what he had learned in his previous life, and only two of them were considered top-grade.
One is called Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, which contains Hunyuan Kung Fu and matching Thunderbolt Boxing, which are superior Taoist martial arts techniques. The other one is called The Secret of Five Poisons, which is a secret book focusing on refining, using and detoxifying poisons. The Five Poison Divine Palms attached to it are extremely clever, but they are also sinister and vicious, making them the best.
These two martial arts are the essence of ancient martial arts and have been lost for a long time in modern society. Although it is not as good as what Zhang Yongsheng learned in his previous life, it is the most top-notch martial arts secret in modern times. Zhang Yongsheng is not very interested in the martial arts, but he is very enthusiastic about the rules of refining, using and detoxifying poisons.
In his previous life, he was a master of good and evil. He often used unscrupulous means. He had rich experience in using poisons and knew many unique poisons. The theory of poison use in the Five Poisons Secret Tradition was much higher than what he knew. He was immediately addicted to it and took the time to start trying to refine poisons.
Zhang Yongsheng learned the corpse-transforming water that destroyed Lu Cheng's corpse from the Five Poison Secrets, and his identification skills for Wangyou Powder also came from this. Having learned the secrets of the Five Poisons, Zhang Yongsheng can be regarded as a poison master of his generation, and he has many more life-saving skills when traveling in the world.
Refining poison requires raw materials, and Zeng Guoquan's pharmacy became his place to purchase medicines. One time when he was purchasing medicine, Zeng Guoquan suddenly fell ill. In fact, it was the sequelae of being injured when he was young, and his life was in danger. Zhang Yongsheng took action in time and used the highly toxic Jiuyin Powder to rescue him.
In the process of treating Zeng Guoquan, Zhang Yongsheng discovered that he was actually a reclusive martial arts master with extremely profound skills. Because the Taoist health-preserving skills you practice cannot be used externally, you can't use them with your own martial arts skills, and the actual combat performance is not much higher than that of ordinary martial artists.
Because he admired Zeng Guoquan's decades of continuous medical practice to help the world, Zhang Yongsheng taught him two martial arts secrets from his family, so that he could use the Taoist internal skills he had accumulated over the decades. When he came back to visit his grandfather's grave during the Qingming Festival this year, Zhang Yongsheng discovered that in less than a year, he and his grandson had mastered martial arts.
Zeng Guoquan already had a foundation in martial arts, and was good at Xingyimen and Baguamen martial arts, but he was unable to develop his internal strength and fell into the misunderstanding of practicing martial arts instead of practicing martial arts. After being taught by Zhang Yongsheng, his decades of skills have been brought into full play. In addition, he has learned Hunyuan Gong and Thunderbolt Boxing, and his actual combat ability is extraordinary.
Zeng Yi has been practicing martial arts with Zeng Guoquan since he was a child. Originally, he only wanted to keep fit and protect himself. But he is a genius that is rare to see in a century. After more than ten years of practicing kung fu, he has made people look at him with admiration. He practiced Hunyuan Gong, but not Thunderbolt Boxing. Instead, he practiced Zhang Yongsheng's non-poisonous divine palm.
The non-poison divine palm is a martial art modified by Zhang Yongsheng from the five poison divine palm, which can be regarded as a new approach. The Five Poison Divine Palms use poisons to condense palm skills, and use poisons to hurt people in actual combat. Zhang Yongsheng did the opposite, allowing practitioners to use internal strength to counteract the poison, so that the palm power is not only non-poisonous, but also invulnerable to all poisons, and the changes are incomparable.
This is a wonderful technique that Zhang Yongsheng came up with by combining the theories of Thunderbolt Boxing and Five Poison Palms. It is relatively useless for him, but it is very useful for Zeng Yi, who is new to real martial arts. He has been working hard to practice this palm technique for a year, and now he has achieved some success.
On weekdays, Zhang Yongsheng would also take time to talk on the phone with his grandfather and grandson to discuss matters related to martial arts training and drug use. Especially after they got mobile phones, they communicated by phone more frequently. Next door to the drug store is a public phone, which makes communication between them easier.
After Zeng Guoquan sent away all the patients, Zhang Yongsheng sat in front of him and said jokingly: "The old man's business is good. With so many patients every day, he must have made a lot of money."
