Chapter 175: Martial Arts Sainthood, Greatness of the World
The flames of the lanterns flickered, and the river in front of the door gurgled, crashing against the rocks and splashing white foam.
The air was mixed with the smell of food and wine, with a hint of the fragrance of locust flowers wafting in from outside.
In spring, the branches are full of locust flowers, and in autumn, the sweet-scented osmanthus fills the
Huaiyin Prefecture has nothing else but abundant rainfall, numerous flowers and trees. Even a seed falling from a bird's intestines can take root and sprout as long as it is not in water.
"Senior brothers and Master, let me tell you, you saw it too late. You didn't see Junior Brother when he first came to the martial arts gym. You definitely can't imagine what he was like, hahaha!"
The window bars are wide open, and the river breeze fills the room.
Xiang Changsong put his arms around Liang Qu's neck, his face flushed, and behind him was the vast river surface reflecting the starlight.
He put one hand on Liang Qu's shoulders and moved the other hand up and down his body, finally stopping at his neck.
"See? When Junior Brother first came, he was as tall as me, very dark and skinny. His appearance is still vivid in my mind.
Now look at him, he is tall and handsome, and he killed all the whale gang members without leaving a single piece of armor. He has become a great man!"
Xu Zishuai shouted and cheered: "Is our great man married? Hahahaha!"
Liang Qu was more relaxed in front of his fellow apprentices and responded bluntly: "A great man should be paired with a wonderful woman. I'm waiting for my master's wife to match me up!"
"Then you have to wait behind Fourth Brother, he got in line before you!"
Cao Rang held the wine jar and said happily: "In my opinion, this is called a gentleman's transformation!"
"Yes! Sixth Senior Brother is so well-read that he has transformed himself into a gentleman! We should celebrate!"
"It's worth celebrating! It's worth celebrating!"
"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses to celebrate our little junior brother's transformation into a leopard!"
"Congratulations, Junior Brother!"
Everyone raised their glasses in joy.
Xu Zishuai put down his wine glass and smacked his lips: "The Drunken Immortal Brew from Langyun Tower is delicious, but I always feel that it's a little off."
Cao Rang was surprised: "Brother Xu, you drank too much and your taste has become picky. Isn't this bad?"
"not good."
Xu Zishuai shook his head.
"Then what kind of wine do you think is good? If you can't tell me, you'll pay for today's drinks!"
"It's easy. I guarantee you all agree with what I say."
"I don't believe it. Tell me what you think! The master is here to be the judge! You are not allowed to say that the good wine from other places is a rip-off. It must be in Pingyang County!"
"Yes, it has to be in Pingyang County."
"Am I the kind of person who plays rogue? I'm in Pingyang County, listen to me!"
Xu Zishuai snorted twice and shook his head.
Everyone stood up straight and listened attentively.
"It's early May. Green plum wine cooked in late spring and early summer is the best! What do you think? Is it or isn't it?"
The words bounced on the dishes, making a clanging sound.
The eight people turned their heads and looked at the first person.
"I was wondering why you suddenly changed the subject. It turns out that there are several green plum trees in my garden that have been waiting for you." Yang Dongxiong laughed and shook his head.
"Don't worry, when the green plums are ripe in May, you will be indispensable! When the plums are ripe, have I ever missed you?"
Green plum wine is the best taste.
In the past, people ate green plums while cooking wine, but "cooking" was just a description.
Nowadays, it is supplemented with rock sugar and other ingredients, and it has become a unique sweet and sour flavored wine.
Unfortunately, the season of green plums is too short. If you relax for a moment, the green plums will turn into yellow plums and will no longer have that refreshing taste of sourness with a slight sweetness.
Throughout the year, there are only a few days or less when you can have a few sips.
Everyone was delighted.
"Master is the best teacher in the world..."
"Good news, good news! Marquis Weining has attained enlightenment and become a saint. The whole world is celebrating. In compliance with your majesty's decree, the whole nation will be feasted for five days! It will take effect the day you hear the news!"
"Good news, good news! Marquis Weining has attained enlightenment and become a saint. The whole world..."
A mighty roar came from the street, accompanied by the sound of fierce horse hooves, suppressing the noise of the entire restaurant.
Liang Qu was closest to the window. He leaned out of the window and saw a figure disappearing rapidly at the end of the long street. In a few leaps, it entered the county government office and disappeared.
"What did you see?" Xiang Changsong asked.
Liang Qu shook his head: "I only saw a figure on horseback entering the county government office. He must be a postman."
Xu Zishuai looked around and asked, "Did you hear what I just shouted?"
"Marquis Weining has attained enlightenment and become a saint. Your Majesty is very happy. Will you grant amnesty to the whole country for five days?" Granting amnesty to the whole country is a simplified version of granting amnesty to the whole country.
Once it was announced, all government agencies from top to bottom had to take out wine, meat and grain, and let the people drink and eat meat together.
All transactions within five days, including those at wine shops, are tax-free.
Naturally, if it is tax-free, it can be sold at a lower price and attract more customers.
Not only in terms of food, many minor crimes will be released early, such as fighting and gambling, and the arrests will be much more lenient. Unless it is a serious crime, they will not care about you at all.
The situation lasted for five full days.
After a while, deafening cheers came from the restaurant downstairs, and soon a servant came to deliver the good news.
"Dear guests, the current emperor is making great contributions to the world. My shopkeeper said that starting today, all expenses will be discounted by 20%! I hope you will come often to celebrate with us!"
Everyone looked at each other.
"So, is this true? There is another Yaolong Martial Saint in the world today?"
"Master, have you ever heard of Marquis Weining before?"
Yang Dongxiong nodded and said, "When the current emperor was still a hidden dragon, this man served as the prince's guardian. He was a very low-key person and I have never heard of many of his deeds. I never thought that he would be able to achieve enlightenment today. This is indeed a happy event."
"Martial Saint."
Liang Qu felt emotional.
The term "Martial Saint" is too far away and has almost nothing to do with ordinary people.
I never thought that we would have such a little bit of intersection today, although it was only one-sided.
Cao Rang said happily: "I didn't expect that today Marquis Weining became a Martial Saint. We can also benefit from it!"
"That's right, I'll give you 20% off. I'll buy a few more jars of wine to hide later!"
"Come on, come on, the big shots' affairs won't affect us, let's just live our own lives. Keep going, no one will be able to leave standing today!"
……
"call."
Liang Qu woke up from his sleep and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling dizzy.
He didn't like drinking and didn't drink much. He only drank a little yesterday due to special circumstances. He didn't use his internal energy to expel the alcohol from his body, so he was slightly affected.
If the visceral barrier is opened, this will not happen. The functions of the five internal organs will be greatly improved. Just alcohol...
Liang Qu walked out of the yard barefoot in shorts, with a thin layer of mist in the air.
The yellow soil in the courtyard was soaked by water and turned dark brown. Puddles of water could still be seen in several mud pits, shining brightly.
Silver raindrops dripped down the eaves onto the bluestone slabs in the yard, shattering and jumping.
It rained last night and raindrops are still dripping from the eaves. A few earthworms are burrowing back into the mud along the stone slabs.
Liang Qu felt the moist water vapor and took a deep breath. The water mist flowed through his lungs and turned into a refreshing coolness.
Slowly exhaling hot air, Liang Qu closed his eyes, moved his feet, and assumed the monkey fist stance.
He would practice this new style of boxing he had just learned every morning. Now he had become more and more proficient at it. Even if his senior brother Hu, who had taught him in the past, came over, he would not be able to fight better than him.
boom!
The mist suddenly came together and flowed, stirred and mixed like a whirlwind, moving around the body.
Liang Qu swung his arms like a monkey, his muscles and bones twisted inch by inch, and every punch and kick made a loud bang.
Shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, hands and feet are unobstructed.
The mind, intention, energy and strength are all in harmony.
When it is a snowy night or a moonlit night, the mind becomes clear; when the spring breeze and weather are gentle, the mind becomes harmonious and peaceful.
Nature creates human hearts and makes them harmonious and seamless.
The slight feeling of drunkenness was like a medicinal inducement, which made the blood in the body boil and flow into the body continuously.
"Boxing techniques can be modified."
Liang Qu suddenly realized something, and the punch he was about to throw went a little off target, like an antelope hanging on a branch, leaving no trace.
The surrounding mist became thicker and thicker, spontaneously condensing in the fist wind, as if covering Liang Qu with a layer of white robe.
"Change the law..."
"You have excellent physique, is your comprehension also like this?"
The old monk stood in front of the door, his eyes shining.
On the street, Ti Qi came riding a horse, glanced at the door plaque, confirmed that the address he was looking for was correct, and was about to shout loudly, but suddenly found that he could not make a sound, and all the air disappeared the moment it rushed out of his throat.
The Tiqi were filled with horror.
"I apologize for the offense, and I hope you will be patient and wait for a moment."
The old monk bowed.
