I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 9 Windfall
After awakening the memories of his past life and gaining a basic understanding of the new world, Zhang Yuan's greatest wish is to become powerful and become a strong man who can control his own destiny.

He also put in his best efforts for this.

But it has always been difficult and even made some jokes.

More than three years ago, Zhang Yuan used up all his savings and bought a martial arts secret book at a street stall in the county town.

At that time, Zhang Yuan thought he had picked up a big bargain, and then took the book "Subduing Tiger Fist" which he bought for two hundred coins to ask Master Chen for advice - there were some contents in it that he could not understand.

As a result, the old man was amused.

Although Master Chen was not proficient in martial arts, he had broad knowledge and rich experience. He pointed out directly that these secret manuals sold on the street were crudely made and not authentic at all, and were all scams.

As the saying goes, a secret skill should not be passed on lightly. It is impossible to buy the real secret skill with just a few hundred coins.

Moreover, even if they are real secret manuals, many of them do not record the most important mantras, which need to be taught personally by the master.

This made Zhang Yuan realize that this world's inheritance of martial arts skills is extremely thorough and strict.

It is difficult for a poor boy from the mountain village with no background like Zhang Yuan to learn real skills.

He lacks the connections and cannot afford the price!

The failure he suffered at the hands of Hunter Gao was the best proof of this.

However, the "Rock Pillar Skill" he obtained unexpectedly gave Zhang Yuan hope of becoming a martial artist.

This secret book was well kept by its original owner, who protected it in a leather bag.

Zhang Yuan turned the pages of the book and read carefully under the oil lamp.

"Rock Posture" has a total of more than thirty pages. The paper used is tough and it records a basic exercise called "Rock Posture" with pictures and texts.

The content is not only very detailed, but also contains a large number of annotations.

The last page is a recipe for medicinal soup!
Zhang Yuan watched it over and over again, and suddenly it seemed as if a door leading to the world of martial arts was slowly opening to him!

He couldn't help but feel his heart pounding and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Rock Posture" is the basic practice for entering the realm of strength, which is used to strengthen the body, strengthen the muscles and bones, and derive qi strength!
Entering the state of strength is divided into three levels: bright strength, dark strength and transformed strength.

The Chen family guard that Zhang Yuan had killed earlier was undoubtedly a first-order Ming Jin warrior of the lowest level.

Although this book "Rock Pillar Kung Fu" is a basic martial art, it should be quite extraordinary, otherwise the other party would not have kept it so preciously and protected it so well.

It had a huge impact on Zhang Yuan.

After reading it over and over again dozens of times, Zhang Yuan suddenly discovered that the back cover of this secret book was exceptionally thick.

It’s at least three or four times thicker than the cover!
He had an idea and immediately reached out to light the oil lamp and moved closer to observe carefully.

As a result, Zhang Yuan discovered that there was another secret on the back cover.

There's something hidden inside!

He carefully cut open the paper envelope with a skinning knife and pulled out three silver bills.

One note is worth fifty taels, and the other two are worth ten taels, totaling seventy taels of silver!
Zhang Yuan was speechless at first, and then he was overwhelmed by the huge surprise.

You should know that he has been troubled by the five taels of silver for military service in the past two days, and for this reason he did not hesitate to risk going deep into Qianfeng Mountain to hunt.

Also encountered something weird.

Now he actually got a windfall of seventy taels easily!

Seventy taels of silver is not a small sum of money. It is enough to settle down in the county town.

Zhang Yuan estimated that these three banknotes were from the private treasury of Guardian Sun, but he ended up getting all of them for nothing.

The huge rock that had been hanging in Zhang Yuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

Oh oh oh~
The sound of a rooster crowing suddenly reached Zhang Yuan's ears, waking him up suddenly.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was surprised to find that the sky outside was getting brighter.

He had just had a long night!
At the same time, Zhang Yuan heard the sound of his mother getting up in the next room.

He thought about it, then stuffed the fifty-liang silver note and the ten-liang silver note back into the back cover of the secret book.

Then Zhang Yuan put the book "Rock Pillar Exercise" back into the animal skin bag and hid it in the gap between the stones under the bed. Then he blew out the oil lamp and left the room to wash up.

After breakfast, Zhang Yuan left home carrying a bamboo basket under the worried gaze of his mother.

A strange incident happened yesterday, and the atmosphere in Chenjia Village is obviously much more tense today.

This time Zhang Yuan did not go into the mountains.

Instead, he headed towards the county town along the path.

"Far away."

On the way, I met a woman from the village, who asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Yuan stopped and replied, "Auntie, my mother gave me the last piece of jewelry in her closet and asked me to go to the county town to exchange it for money to pay for corvée labor. Today is the last day."

The three silver notes he received were not allowed to be made public in the village, so there had to be a reason to pay the military service silver.

Just now, Zhang Yuan had already agreed on what to say with his mother.

The same statement is of course true now.

The woman knew that Zhang Yuan's family was being conscripted again this year, and that they were given an additional five taels of silver, and she felt very sympathetic.

But she couldn't help much, so she could only say, "Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan quickened his pace and rushed all the way to the county town.

The farthest place Zhang Yuan has been to in this life so far is the Linhe County ahead.

This county town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are large tracts of farmland around it, so the geographical environment is quite good.

The county town has a population of tens of thousands, convenient water and land transportation, and is quite prosperous and lively.

After arriving in the county town, Zhang Yuan did not immediately go to the money shop to exchange the silver bills.

He first bought a set of suitable clothes at a cloth shop.

Although it was just a piece of coarse cloth, it was brand new after all. After putting it on, I felt a lot different.

Then, Zhang Yuan bought a bamboo hat and a pair of boots in another store.

He spent most of the loose change he had taken from Guardian Sun's purse in one go.

After this transformation, he came to the only bank in the county - Fu Ji Money House.

This is Zhang Yuan's first time to come to the money shop to do business.

The moment he entered the door, he immediately felt a sharp gaze falling on him.

Zhang Yuan's heart trembled.

It is obvious that there are experts guarding this bank.

But Zhang Yuan had no guilty conscience. He calmly walked to the counter, put a ten-liang silver note on it, and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss, please exchange five liang of silver and five strings of copper coins."

The shopkeeper inside glanced at him, then took the banknote and examined it carefully.

The silver note Zhang Yuan took out was issued by Fu Ji Money House, and there were special marks and secret certificates on the face of the note.

After verifying that it was genuine, the shopkeeper told his clerk to pay Zhang Yuan with small change and copper coins as requested.

The process was very smooth.

In fact, this is normal. After all, ten taels of silver notes are nothing to Fu Ji Money House.

Zhang Yuan was just being cautious to ensure safety.

Caution is the boat.

After getting the silver and money, he went around the county town without stopping and bought some medicinal herbs and rice, oil, salt and sauce.

Then return to Chenjia Village as quickly as possible!
