Xu Xian led the old doctor from the medical clinic into Xu Mansion.
Xu Xian said: "Master, that man was seriously injured. When my brother-in-law brought him back, he was covered in blood."
The old doctor said: "Han Wen, you are a scholar and a scholar. Don't be irritable in what you say and do. I will tell you what the situation is when I see you."
Xu Xian passed the scholar examination, but unfortunately he failed to pass the examination. Xu Jiaorong arranged for Xu Xian to go to a medical clinic to learn medical skills.
If you don’t want to be a good appearance, then you should be a good doctor.
This is a very typical idea of the ancients' settling down and settling down.
Doctors are said to be a low-level profession. Even if they enter the imperial court, they are just low-level medical workers.
In front of officials, doctors are humble.
But among the people, in front of ordinary people, the status of doctors is very high.
Xu Xian's talent in studying medicine is very good, but he is too young and has a somewhat impatient temper.
The old man thought to himself: "This guy Han Wen's temperament is not stable enough and needs to be polished."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were drinking tea in the living room.
Seeing the lingering anger on Xiao Qing's pretty face, Xu Xian said, "Madam, who made Miss Xiao Qing angry again?"
Xiao Qing said angrily: "It's not that centipede..."
Bai Suzhen quickly interrupted Xiao Qing and said with a smile: "Xiao Qing just stepped on a centipede in the backyard and was startled. My husband, you know that girls hate centipedes and cockroaches the most."
Xu Xian is just a mortal, and Bai Suzhen doesn't want him to know that there are monsters in the world. That would be too much of a shock to Xu Xian, and he might not be able to accept it for a while.
Xu Xian said: "There are several flower beds in the backyard, and it's not surprising that there are small insects like centipedes. Later, my master and I will go back to the drugstore, prepare some insect repellent powder and sprinkle it in the yard, and everything will be fine."
In the guest room.
Chen Kang entered a state of fetal rest. His breathing and heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
The old doctor felt Chen Kang's pulse and was shocked.
Chen Kang had no pulse.
Who doesn't have a pulse?
It can only be a dead person!
In addition to his body temperature, Chen Kang was lying on the bed, no different from a dead person.
"ah."
The old doctor exclaimed: "Han Wen, this young man is probably dead. Please prepare his funeral arrangements."
Xu Xian was stunned: "What? Master, you said he was dead? But, I saw that his face was rosy, his expression was peaceful, and he had a smile on his face. It doesn't look like a corpse."
The old doctor said: "This...but he has no breathing and pulse."
This was the first time in Chen Kang's life that the old doctor had encountered this situation, and he was a little confused.
Xu Xian put his fingers on Chen Kang's wrist and immediately felt his pulse.
Chen Kang had already woken up when the old doctor checked his pulse.
Chen Kang immediately exited fetal rest sleep and entered a state of natural breathing.
Xu Xian said: "Master, he has a pulse."
The old doctor didn't believe it and checked Chen Kang's pulse again.
This time, the old doctor really noticed Chen Kang's pulse.
"Could it be that I was distracted and made a mistake just now?" the old doctor said, "Forget it. Let's prescribe the medicine first."
Based on his pulse, the old doctor concluded that Chen Kang's health was fine. He took a few pills and was able to get out of bed and jump around.
…
evening.
Chen Kang woke up, took a shower, and changed his clothes.
Come to the lobby.
Chen Kang said gratefully: "Chen Kang, thank you all for your life-saving grace."
Li Gongfu said: "Your name is Chen Kang. I wonder where you are from, Chen Kang?"
Li Gongfu was the chief catcher of the yamen, and it seemed that questioning others had become instinctive.
Chen Kang said: "There are people from Bayu."
Chen Kang is from the mountain city, and it is correct to say that he is from Bayu.
Bai Suzhen glanced at Chen Kang.
Bai Suzhen has been cultivating in Qingcheng Mountain in Shu for thousands of years, but she didn't know that there was such a powerful mortal warrior as Chen Kang in the Bayu area.
Xu Jiaorong said with a smile: "Chen Kang, when you come to Qiantang County, you can rest at my home to recuperate. Once your body recovers, it's not too late for you to make plans."
Chen Kang is not the opponent of the centipede spirit yet, and it is safest to stay in the Xu Mansion.
With Bai Suzhen here, Centipede Jing would definitely not dare to mess around.
Chen Kang nodded and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."
Xu Xian asked: "Brother Chen, you have extraordinary bearing, but are you a scholar?"
Chen Kang said: "Chen has read books. However, I am not an orthodox scholar. I have never participated in the imperial examination, and I have never thought about becoming an official."
Xu Xian was surprised and said: "Excellence in learning leads to officialdom. Since Brother Chen has studied, how can he not take part in the imperial examination? Wouldn't it be better to pursue an official career?"
Chen Kang said: "When you are an official in the imperial examination, you are high and mighty in front of the people. But in front of bigger officials, you can only grovel and live without dignity. I want to control my own destiny. So, I decided to learn a profession. craft."
Xu Jiaorong said: "It is good to learn a craft. A craftsman who has a skill will never go hungry wherever he goes. My family failed to pass the Chinese language test, so I sent him to study medicine. Not only can studying medicine help He can cure illnesses and save people, and he can also get food and clothing.”
Xu Xian asked: "Brother Chen, what kind of craft are you learning? Is it also medical skill?"
Chen Kang said: "It's not medical skills. What I study is martial arts."
Li Gongfu laughed: "I didn't realize that Chen Kang, you are actually a martial arts person. I also know some boxing and kicking martial arts. If we have a chance, let's learn from each other."
Li Gongfu is a head catcher, so he must have some martial arts skills.
It's just that his martial arts skills are not worth mentioning in Chen Kang's eyes.
Li Gongfu's skills were okay against a few petty thieves, but if he really encountered a master, he would be helpless.
According to the level of warriors in the martial arts world, Li Gongfu is not even a third-rate warrior.
Li Gongfu is an ordinary person who knows some boxing and kicking skills. He didn't even master the most basic techniques of exerting force.
Chen Kang smiled and nodded and said, "Okay. Now that we have time, let's discuss it."
Chen Kang glanced at Xiaoqing.
In fact, Chen Kang wanted to compete with Xiao Qing in martial arts. I don’t know if I am Xiaoqing’s opponent.
As for Bai Suzhen?
Bai Suzhen has thousands of years of skill, and her secret identity is that she is the registered disciple of Mother Lishan.
At present, Chen Kang is definitely not Bai Suzhen's opponent.
Chen Kang's strength is not that weak. He was injured by the centipede spirit because of his carelessness.
Chen Kang didn't expect that the gloomy and evil young master was not a human being, but a demon.
It was Chen Kang's first time to deal with demons and he had no experience.
It is normal to suffer a big loss.
The next time he meets Centipede Spirit, Chen Kang won't be in such a mess.
At dinner time.
Chen Kang and Xu Xian chatted while eating.
No matter what the topic is, Chen Kang can pick up the conversation.
Even when talking about spiritual practice with Bai Suzhen, Chen Kang could explain some of his own opinions.
Chen Kang is more familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics than Xu Xian.
Chen Kang's impression on Xu Xian can only be described as "not confused".
That's right, just don't be confused.
Chen Kang seemed to understand everything and had no doubts in his heart.
After dinner, Chen Kang returned to the guest room to rest.
Xu Xian said: "Madam, brother-in-law, sister, this Brother Chen is really a strange person. I feel that he is more knowledgeable than the old master in the academy. If he takes the imperial examination, there is no guarantee that he will be the number one scholar, but if he becomes the Jinshi, he will be a sure shot. It's a pity. , Brother Chen has no intention of pursuing an official career."
Xu Xian is still too young.
Whether you can pass the Jinshi examination or not is not decided by academics, but by the examiner. Wen Wu is the first, and the examiner has a lot of room for maneuver in who he wants to select as a Jinshi.
Xu Jiaorong rolled her eyes at Xu Xian and said: "If Chen Kang has any ability, it belongs to others. If you can pass the Jinshi examination in Hanwen, I will not send you to study medicine. You, don't be half-hearted in the future. Study medicine diligently in the medical clinic."
Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu were shocked by Chen Kang's profound knowledge, knowledge and knowledge.
Bai Suzhen noticed that Chen Kang's thoughts were very different from ordinary ones, and he had no respect for the government yamen. It can be said that he is out of tune with other people.
Bai Suzhen felt more like a human being, while Chen Kang felt more like a demon.
Chen Kang's words revealed the idea that the strong should be respected and the weak should eat the strong.
Bai Suzhen also noticed that Chen Kang didn't seem to resent Centipede Jing.
In fact, Bai Suzhen's feeling was correct.
Chen Kang did not resent Centipede Jing.
Since it is normal and natural law for demons to eat humans, it is not surprising that the centipede spirit regards itself as its prey.
Just like a wolf eating a sheep, you cannot say that the wolf is vicious and the sheep is kind.
However, the centipede spirit wants to eat Chen Kang, so Chen Kang is also very interested in the centipede spirit.
Hong Qigong can eat fried centipedes. Chen Kang thought he could do it too.
It’s just that the centipede you eat may be bigger, that’s all.
It is natural law for demons to eat humans, so it is also natural for humans to eat centipedes and monsters.
It is not certain who is the prey and who is the hunter. You have to rely on strength to speak for itself.
People can hate their enemies, but they cannot hate their prey and food.
Therefore, Chen Kang does not hate Centipede Jing.
Chen Kang licked his lips involuntarily, with a sinister look in his eyes, and said to himself: "I wonder how fried centipedes taste compared to fried shrimps?"
The centipede spirit doesn't know yet, but he wants to swallow Chen Kang's yang energy and flesh and blood. And Chen Kang was also planning on eating his giant centipede.
Chen Kang took a deep breath and said to himself: "This world is more suitable for practicing martial arts than the world of wind and cloud. The aura energy dispersed in the air is richer. Completely recover from the injury first, and then try to make money."
Living in the Xu family is not a waste of time.
Chen Kang still has to pay for accommodation.
Of course, Chen Kang would not go into business when it comes to making money. The money would come in too slowly that way.
Chen Kang planned to "rob the rich and give to the poor" and attack the gangs in the county.
The bad guys in the gang are proficient in stealing, robbing and cheating, and are good at bullying small traders and ordinary people.
These people are not afraid of the yamen.
Even if the police caught them, what would happen? At worst, they could be locked up for a few days and then released.
As long as they don't behead, those guys in the gang will not repent, and they will get worse and worse.
Chen Kang robbed the money of the small gang, but they did not dare to report it to the official. After all, their own money came from erroneous ways and was robbed.
Chen Kang will not attack the wealthy families and gentry in the city for the time being. These people have a lot of energy. Even if Chen Kang robs their property, he would not dare to spend money casually in Qiantang County because they cannot withstand investigation.
For now, Chen Kang is better off keeping a low profile.
Chen Kang threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to focus on regulating his breath, using the Thunder Sound Marrow Cleansing Technique to shock his body.
The blood is circulating rapidly, and nutrients and energy are repairing the injuries in the body.
Pfft.
Chen Kang spit out a mouthful of blood, completely eliminating the hidden wounds on his body.
"Tomorrow morning, my physical strength will be fully restored." Chen Kang thought to himself, "The training environment is very important to a warrior. If I train martial arts in this world, I can at least double my physical strength again and continue to extend my life. "
…
The next day.
Chen Kang raised his sense of hearing and smell to the extreme, did not notice the centipede spirit, and prepared to walk out of Xu Mansion.
Bai Suzhen said: "Brother Chen Kang is going out?"
Chen Kang nodded and said: "I went out to do some things. I'll be back soon."
Bai Suzhen said: "Although the centipede is not in the county, he has not really left. Chen Kang, you should be more cautious."
Xiao Qing said: "Sister is right. Chen Kang, I advise you not to run around."
Chen Kang said: "Ms. White Lady, Miss Xiao Qing, I will just walk around the county town without leaving the city. Miss Xiao Qing, I can see that you have good cultivation. Let's find an opportunity to compete in martial arts."
Xiao Qing sneered and said: "Chen Kang, your martial arts are very strong. You are the strongest human martial artist I have ever seen. It's a pity that you don't practice Taoism or Buddhism. You only know mortal martial arts, even if you master martial arts It is impossible to compare to my Taoist practice even if I have practiced it to a state of perfection."
Xiao Qing looks down on people a little.
Very normal.
No matter how powerful Chen Kang is, he is just a human warrior.
Compared with Taoism, Buddhism, and sorcery, mortal martial arts are simply not on the same level.
However, Chen Kang didn't think so.
Skill is skill, power is power, what is the difference between immortality and mortals?
In Chen Kang's view, Taoism, Buddhism, and sorcery are just techniques that are more advanced than ordinary martial arts.
Things that ordinary people don't understand will be mythical or demonized.
Chen Kang said: "Miss Xiaoqing, humans and immortals are just different in status, not strong or weak. It is not impossible for a mortal to kill an immortal."
As soon as Chen Kang clenched his fist, the air exploded in his palm, forming a wave of air that knocked Xiao Qing back a few steps.
Bai Suzhen remained motionless, and a look in her eyes offset Chen Kang's energy.
Chen Kang walked out of Xu Mansion.
Xiao Qing gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, this Chen Kang is too arrogant. He is just a mortal, and he doesn't even have the power of Qi and magic. Why are you so arrogant?"
Bai Suzhen said: "Xiao Qing, Chen Kang is not arrogant, he is confident. Even if Chen Kang does not have true energy and magic power, he cannot be underestimated. To be honest, Xiao Qing, you may not be Chen Kang's opponent."
Xiaoqing jumped to her feet and said loudly: "What? Sister, you said that I can't beat Chen Kang. I don't believe it. I have hundreds of years of experience. No, I have to fight with Chen Kang to let him know my strength." sharp."
…
Chen Kang walked around the county town and brought back three thousand taels of silver.
These money are ill-gotten gains.
Chen Kang searched the two gangs, and he was sure to make the gangsters in the two gangs heartache for a while.
When Chen Kang handed over five hundred taels of silver to Li Gongfu.
Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong kept declining.
But their eyes were fixed on the silver and they could no longer move away.
Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong had some savings over the years, but they had to educate Xu Xian and Xu Xian to study medicine.
Last month, she married Xu Xian a wife.
These all cost money.
Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong spent all the little money they had at home.
I have to say that Xu Xian's brother-in-law and sister are very kind to Xu Xian.
The eldest sister is like a mother.
Xu Jiaorong really raised Xu Xian as a son and never criticized him harshly from childhood to adulthood.
Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money for Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu.
Li Gongfu was the county government's chief arrester, and his annual salary was only more than 20 taels of silver. Five hundred taels of silver, if there was no corruption, Li Gongfu would have to save it for at least twenty years without eating or drinking.
Chen Kang said: "Captain Li, Mrs. Li, just accept the money. Don't refuse anymore. Unless you think it's too little. From now on, I want to live in the Xu Mansion, so I can't live and eat for free."
Bai Suzhen said: "Sister, brother-in-law, please accept the money. Chen Kang is very capable and he is not short of money."
Xu Jiaorong said happily: "Then...I will really accept it."
After collecting the money, the family is well off.
Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu were even more enthusiastic towards Chen Kang.
…
this day.
Chen Kang walked into the county town carrying a thousand-jin wild boar.
People on the street were amazed.
If this wild boar survives for a while, I'm afraid it will open up its spiritual intelligence and become a spirit and monster. It was unlucky and was killed by Chen Kang as prey.
Enter the kitchen of Xu Mansion.
Xu Jiaorong was shocked and said: "Chen Kang, you went out to hunt in the city again? This wild boar is too big."
Chen Kang said: "It's not that big. There are bigger prey in the deep mountains and old forests. I will cook for you at noon today and prepare a pig-killing feast for everyone."
As Chen Kang became stronger and stronger, his requirements for food became higher and higher.
Regularly eating beast spirits can enhance Chen Kang's physical fitness.
