Chapter 72 Five Birds
In the afternoon, Fang Zhixing went to Tieshanmen Zhubing Hall.
Tieshanmen has many entrances, covering more than ten counties in Qinghe County and some important towns.
There is also a hall in Qinglin County, which is the Zhubing Hall.
As the name suggests, the main business of the Forging Hall is the forging of various weapons and armors.
In a short time, Fang Zhixing and Xigou arrived at the gate of Zhubing Hall from Jinshui Building.
"Master Fang Xiang, is that you?"
When the gatekeeper saw him, he recognized him immediately, nodded and bowed to greet him.
Fang Zhixing said in surprise: "Have you seen me?"
The gatekeeper smiled and said, "This is my first time meeting you, but Hall Master Lu has specifically told you that you may come today and bring a dog with you. Let us pay attention and not lose etiquette."
Only then did he know what was going on, and he said: "Please go and report to Hall Master Lu."
But the gatekeeper waved his hand and said, "Hall Master Lu said that after you come, he will just take you to see him directly, without any notification."
Only then will you know that nothing is impossible.
Then he was led by the gatekeeper into the entrance of the hall, and the sound of tinkling and banging came one after another.
The air was filled with a strong smell of burning charcoal.
"This Military Foundry Hall is just like a military factory!" Xigou said in a message.
Fang Zhixing nodded secretly and responded: "The armor that Butler Wen gave me was probably made by the Military Casting Hall."
While walking, a car passed by them, pulling the forged armor.
Fang Zhixing took a closer look and was stunned.
I saw that the breastplate of the armor was particularly large, reaching one and a half meters in length.
The entire set of armor is at least three meters long when connected!
Was such huge armor meant for humans to wear?
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but frown.
"Master Fang Xiang, in front is Hall Master Lu's study." The gatekeeper smiled.
Fang Zhixing withdrew his gaze, cheered up, and quickened his pace.
The gatekeeper stepped forward, knocked on the door, and announced his entrance.
"Brother Fang, please come in quickly."
After a while, Lu Anfu's laughter came from the room. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and his voice was filled with a happy tone.
Fang Zhixing walked in, bowed his hands and said, "Hall Master Lu."
Lu Anfu laughed and said, "Brother, please have a seat. Someone will come and serve you some good tea."
The two sat opposite each other and sipped tea.
Fang Zhixing took the initiative and said, "Hall Master Lu, there are crazy rumors outside that you have made a fortune."
Lu Anfu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense, there is no big fortune."
Fang Zhixing showed a curious expression and asked: "Seriously, how did you plot against the Dong family, and they fell for it so easily?"
Lu Anfu was silent for a while, then leaned forward and lowered his voice: "You and I have a grudge against the Dong family. From now on, I will be one of our own, so I won't hide it. To tell you the truth, people who plot against the Dong family are not I am the county magistrate!"
Fang Zhixing's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock: "This, this, is it serious?"
Lu Anfu clicked his tongue and said: "It's hard to believe, isn't it? The Dong family is obviously the county magistrate's in-laws, but they were still plotted by the county magistrate. The water here is very deep. What I can tell you is that, the county magistrate In fact, he had great reasons for doing it, and he did it out of necessity."
Fang Zhixing also leaned forward and asked cautiously: "Is the county magistrate very short of money?"
Lu Anfu nodded and sighed: "The current situation is turbulent, bandits are on the rise, and there are crises everywhere. We have to recruit more people, and the expenses are increasing day by day, like a bottomless pit.
Take your archer battalion as an example. There were none before. Now there are 300 more archers. Just feeding them is a huge expense.
It happened that at this juncture, a batch of money was robbed by water thieves, which naturally gave the county magistrate a huge headache.
But the rich and powerful people in the city are like iron roosters and are not willing to donate money at all.
As a last resort, the county magistrate made a small plan and ordered me to set up a game and make a lot of money from those wealthy households. "
Only then did Zhixing suddenly realize.
As expected, everything Luo Peiyun did was to make money!
Well, let’s forget all this mess for now.
Fang Zhixing did not forget about the business and solemnly said: "Palace Master Lu, can you please give me the follow-up skills of Tieshan Gong now?"
He couldn't wait any longer.
From Songlin Temple to the county town, all his actions were to obtain the follow-up skills of Tieshan Gong.
Although the process has been full of twists and turns, at this moment, it is finally possible to get what you want.
"certainly!"
Lu Anfu nodded and asked, "Which category do you want?"
"Um???"
Fang Zhixing was stunned and didn't understand. He hesitated and said, "Master, what category are you talking about?"
Lu Anfu blinked and said in surprise: "You don't know? That's right, you follow Cheng Tianen to learn martial arts. With his nature, he may not be willing to tell you too many things."
Fang Zhixing quickly lowered his posture and asked for advice: "Please give me some advice."
Lu Anfu nodded and explained carefully: "The first three realms of martial arts training are Guanli, Big Python, and Wuqin."
"The state of penetration is to twist the whole body's strength into a rope."
"The Great Python Realm is a further improvement of the Guanli Realm."
"However, the Guanli Realm and the Great Python Realm both lay the foundation, using relatively rough methods to consolidate the body and increase the strength of the physical body."
"When we reach the Five Animal Realm, we use refined methods to improve our physical bodies and strengthen our strength."
While speaking, Lu Anfu raised his right hand and stretched out five fingers.
He explained carefully: "The physical strength of a warrior has been summarized into four categories and five stages after countless deductions by our ancestors."
"The first category is, strike resistance, that is, defense."
"The second is toughness, the third is agility, and the fourth is strength!"
"Defense, toughness, agility, strength!"
"If we want to refine the body, we should start from these four categories and strengthen them in sequence. There is no order of priority. You can choose any one to strengthen."
"For example, you can improve your strength first. Then as your strength increases, your agility, toughness and defense will also improve."
"When the strength reaches perfection, then improve the other three points, and so on, until all four categories reach perfection."
"At this time, you have gone through four stages of practice, and the last stage is the 'balanced' practice."
"That is to say, you have to integrate the four points to make the body natural and coordinated, and eliminate all the shortcomings of the body to make it as perfect as possible."
"This is four categories and five stages!"
Lu Anfu stood up, walked to a row of bookshelves, took out a painting and spread it out.
Fang Zhixing saw ten kinds of animals painted on the picture, divided into upper and lower rows, corresponding one to one.
Lu Anfu pointed at the animals in the painting and said slowly: "The five stages of practice have different focuses. In order to facilitate understanding and memory, they are often replaced by certain animals. There are five animals for men and women."
Five levels: defense, toughness, agility, strength, balance;
Men: black turtle, spiritual ape, shadow leopard, giant bear, violent tiger;
Women: Sand Scorpion, Sky Python, Crane, White Whale, and Charming Lion.
"Five animals and five stages, this is the five-animal realm!"
"When you have mastered one kind, it will be called the 'One Bird Realm', and the two kinds will be the 'Two Bird Realm', and so on, the Three Bird Realm, the Four Bird Realm, and the Five Bird Realm."
