Liang Qu stood up and felt the difference in the energy and blood in his body.
Compared with before practicing, it is a little mellower.
"It's a pity that the golden body of the dragon and the tiger are far apart, but the strong energy has begun to show results, and the transportation of energy and blood becomes smoother and more comfortable."
Condensing the golden body is the biggest feature of the Diamond Sutra of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger, although it is divided into multiple stages.
The deeper the practice, the stronger the golden body. If there are corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures to assist, the practice can be accelerated.
But no matter what, it is impossible to successfully condense it as soon as you start it. Then this technique would be too shocking.
Dragon tendons and tiger bones are beneficial to the condensation of the golden body. Liang Qu himself was favored by the Emperor of Sichuan, his martial arts talent doubled, and he learned martial arts and martial arts faster than ordinary people.
Even so, if you want to initially condense a golden body, it will take no less than a few months without heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Liang Qu didn't know how fast others were, but he thought they were far inferior to his own.
He was very greedy for the effects of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Body, especially the characteristics of the dragon's roar and the tiger's roar during its execution, which could frighten the sneaky and slay evil spirits and subdue demons.
There are a lot of techniques in the Great Gong Exchange Book with various characteristics. Although he didn't look carefully, he didn't have the impression that any technique had such characteristics. It was probably rare.
The world is full of wonders, and any strange phenomenon will appear as long as you look for it in a large enough range.
Having one more rare skill is definitely not a bad thing.
"Comfortable! Sleep!"
After returning from Fengbu County and making great achievements, Liang Qu got two days off and had no intention of starting work in a hurry.
Worker, take a night off.
the next day.
Aunt Zhang, who was cooking, pushed in through the side door and saw Liang Qu waving Fubo and practicing his marksmanship in the courtyard.
"My boss is back?"
"Yes, I came back last night. Good morning, Aunt Zhang. You can make more breakfast. Oh, by the way, I won't be eating at home tonight. The portion for the master is enough for one person."
"I have something to do tonight, so there is no need to leave food for me."
The old monk opened the door and came to the courtyard and saluted.
Liang Qu nodded and didn't ask the old monk what he was going to do. The two of them had what they needed while living under the same roof, so it was not good to ask too many questions.
"Then don't cook tonight. Aunt Zhang will go back and rest after lunch."
Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement.
Liang Qu gave her a holiday and the monthly salary was quite high. She was happy to have half a day of leisure time.
"By the way, Aunt Zhang, are the food prices still rising recently? If so, I will give you some more money to save you from running out."
Liang Qu took out a silver ingot from his arms.
She has a big appetite for martial arts training and needs a lot of beef and mutton for meals. The food money alone is a big expense every month. Aunt Zhang's small salary is not enough to cover it. Naturally, she has to pay first and then settle the account at the end of the month.
Aunt Zhang waved her hand: "Enough, enough, food prices have dropped!"
Liang Qu wondered.
"Falled? How did it fall? April isn't the time to harvest grain, right?"
"It just dropped yesterday. My man told me that the price of polished rice in the rice shop is now thirteen cents per catty. It is not as good as before when it was eight cents per catty, but it is still much cheaper.
I don’t know why it fell. It took just two or three days and then it suddenly fell. "
Aunt Zhang danced and gestured.
She was very excited, but her knowledge was limited and she didn't understand why the price of rice dropped before the harvest.
"It's the county magistrate."
The old monk on the side spoke.
"Master, do you know?"
“I haven’t heard everything, but I can roughly guess that on the day the benefactor left, the county government ordered to raise the price of grain in the county again, selling grain at a price of twenty cents per catty, which was two cents higher than the original market price.
Then he sent people along the river to ask for food and spread the word. Lao Na read it carefully and found that those who spread the news mainly traveled along the river.
Huainan has developed water transportation, and there are many grain storage facilities along the river. In many places, grain is in excess.
On the fifth day, merchant ships came to sell grain, and more and more came one after another. The docks of several surrounding towns were crowded with grain ships.
Until the day before yesterday, the county magistrate stopped raising prices, and grain prices plummeted. "
"I see."
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
Lowering the price was not possible, but the merchants were too happy to raise the price. They were afraid that the county government would not agree, but they did not expect that they would be cheated. It was all grain, and there was no way to sell it at a high price.
No wonder he saw several large merchant ships heading towards Pingyang County on his way back.
Businessmen seeking profits must have never heard the news that food prices have dropped?
Transporting grain by water is not that simple. The labor cost plus losses, if the price is only thirteen or fourteen cents per pound, will definitely not attract anyone.
Coming and going, it is very likely to result in a loss, which is far worse than selling locally.
After arriving, the county magistrate stopped collecting grain, and the merchants could only sell it locally, because bringing it back would be another loss and cost. The original local grain price was not as good as that in Pingyang County.
The food shortage in Pingyang is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. There were no major floods or droughts in the past two years, and many surrounding places have sufficient food reserves.
In another place, it would never have such an effect.
…
After lunch, Liang Qu went to the stables and rode up Chishan, carrying a large pile of gifts to Pingyang County.
On the way, Liang Qu saw the construction of the Hebosuo. The soldiers were more or less warriors.
Their hands and feet are much faster than ordinary people, and their efficiency is doubled. The entire riverside place has become more impressive. I am afraid that it will not be long before the office location can be changed from a building to a land.
After all, there are many inconveniences on board ships.
On the other side of Pingyang County, the government offices of the Anti-Monster Division are also being built in an orderly manner, progressing in tandem.
When Liang Qu passed by, he saw a martial artist carrying a large wild boar more than four meters long, disembowelling the wild boar and selling the wild boar meat. Occasionally, a martial artist passed by and bought more than ten kilograms.
Look at the physique of that wild boar. It must have become a spirit. I don’t know where it was caught on the top of a mountain.
In the previous Pingyang Town, this scene was rarely seen.
A prosperous scene.
Expert Ai Zha Tui is not unreasonable. If you want to eat some monster meat in a small place, you can't find a place to buy or sell it.
Ordinary people have to move to the county town when they earn money.
Strong martial arts masters even want to go to the imperial capital to try their luck at the illusory wealth.
Passing by the martial arts hall, Liang Qu dismounted, took out two gift boxes from among the many, and walked through the corridor.
"Senior Brother Hu, Senior Brother Xiang! I'm back!"
"Junior Brother Liang!"
Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong were teaching apprentices. When they saw it was Liang Qu, they asked the apprentices to practice on their own.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps closer, both of them noticed Liang Qu's undisguised warrior aura, and their expressions were different.
Hu Qi stepped forward and put his arms around Liang Qu's shoulders, looking up and down.
"Junior brother Liang, are you broken?"
"Senior Brother Hu has great eyesight! From today on, Junior Brother, I am a serious Four Levels martial artist!"
Liang Qu smiled happily and distributed the things in his hands to the two of them.
"Quick, too fast."
Xiang Changsong took the gift box. He thought it would take some time for Liang Qu to catch up with him, but he didn't expect that it would be almost before he caught up with him.
He still clearly remembered Liang Qu's appearance when he first came to the martial arts school. He was thin, dark and short, and his only virtue was politeness.
A blink of an eye.
Strong, bright, and enthusiastic, the youthful energy is booming.
"Okay, that's great."
Xiang Changsong patted Liang Qu on the shoulder, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
Hu Qi took the gift box and asked, "Why did you get into trouble when you thought of giving us something?"
"No, it's a happy event!"
The news about the Hebo Institute was only spread within the Hebo Institute, and Hu Qi and others did not know about it yet.
Liang Qu talked about his experience in Fengbu County.
"I thought it was just an ordinary monster causing trouble, but unexpectedly, I was given two great achievements and a large sum of money for no reason. Brother Xu said that I was expected to be promoted to an official position. I couldn't help but be happy, so I bought some gifts to celebrate with my senior brother!
I have booked a private room in the restaurant last night. After I go to see the master and his wife, we can chat together in the evening! "
Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong scratched his head after hearing this.
What year is it today?
Liang Qu has only been away for less than half a month, right?
