What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?
Chapter 15 Fish Dragon Stake
In conclusion, to sum up.
Our great Wei refugee, and the current and future number one in the world, Xu Shimo, thus became a lowly constable in Chihe County.
I came out of the county government office.
Lin Jing: "Your identity is now set. From now on, you are one of my constables. Remember to go on duty tomorrow. The back is the office of our city guard. I'll take you there."
Xu Shimo walked in and first passed through a group of martial arts training posts, but there were only a few people chatting nearby. When they saw Lin Jing come in, they pretended to practice.
Several people gathered around: "Boss, what brings you here today?"
Lin Jing's hands were behind his back:
"This is Xu Shimo, the new constable, you'll be working together from now on—which room still has an empty bed?"
newcomer?
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him, looking Xu Shimo up and down, each with their own thoughts.
Some people whispered among themselves, "Isn't our Chief Wang..."
"Shh!"
There are three taxis in total, covering nine streets in Hung Sau Fong.
Wang Chang, the head of the escort team, accepted some gifts and then set his sights on this vacancy.
After a brief silence, a thin, short man suddenly spoke:
"Boss, there are six people in my room now."
Lin Jing nodded and then led Xu Shimo forward.
"The conditions are a bit tough, but you'll have to make do for now."
Xu Shimo glanced at it; it was just an eight-person dormitory. He had experience sleeping in sleeping bags in the wild before, and he also had an eight-person dormitory in college, which was the best geology school in the country.
"Don't worry, taxi driver, I'm not a sentimental person."
"No need to be so formal, just call me Uncle—of course, you should still address me by my title when we're on duty."
After briefly explaining a few things, Lin Jing looked Xu Shimo up and down and said:
"Your unsteady posture is a problem. It's obvious that you've been practicing haphazardly before. If you were to combine it with a stance training method, with your talent, you should be able to advance to the next level very quickly. Fortunately, everyone in our City Guard is issued a copy of 'Fish-Dragon Stance.' The technique is a bit basic, but I can't teach you the more advanced parts."
Xu Shimo naturally understood this principle. Lin Cha Tou was a stranger to him and had already helped him a lot. There was no reason for him to be greedy.
One should be content.
We must learn to be grateful.
So he bowed deeply:
"I will forever remember the kindness of the man who saved my life."
"A whole repertoire of fancy words..."
Lin Jing pursed his lips, then waved his hand: "I'm leaving! If you can reach the Warm Meridian Realm within ten days, I might be able to give you some more pointers."
After saying that, the man strode out.
The skinny man who led the two over heard the last sentence clearly and thought to himself, "Wow!"
Warm pulse? That means both qi and blood are involved.
It's surprising that this newcomer is such a skilled person; no wonder Chief Lin personally led the group here.
They're probably just here to get their resumes gilded!
So he immediately smiled and took a step forward:
"Brother Mo!"
"..."
However, this short and thin constable had a very grand name.
His name is Da Long, and his surname is Tang.
He volunteered for the mission, and then shared many things about the City Guard with Xu Shimo, and even took him to receive the stakes.
"Brother Mo, you can go to Brother Chen and ask him to read it for you. He only charges fifty coins."
Before Tang Dalong could finish speaking, he saw Xu Shimo had already opened the book and started reading.
He's actually literate?
Tang Dalong immediately fell silent and tactfully stepped aside to avoid disturbing him.
This booklet of exercises is actually just a loan; it must be returned in three days. If you haven't memorized or learned it, you can borrow it again later.
The pages of the booklet were worn yellowed, giving it a very aged look.
"It's quite trendy to use recycled textbooks..." Xu Shimo smiled to himself, then tried his best to decipher the mottled handwriting, slowly immersing himself in it.
Fish and Dragon, this exercise cultivates the forms of fish and dragon, imitating the agility of a fish swimming in water and the strength of a dragon coiled on a rock, achieving harmony between fish and dragon.
But can this level of stance training really produce a dragon-like form? Xu Shimo wondered to himself, but that didn't matter. It was just a name; once he mastered it, that was it.
He then memorized some basic movement techniques, and the "Fish-Dragon Stake" appeared in the "Stealing Heaven's Secrets" manual.
But he didn't rush to start; instead, he looked up at the sky.
It was still early, but the days were short in winter, and I wasn't familiar with the area, so I decided to go and buy some daily necessities first.
So he got up.
"Brother Mo, what's wrong?"
"Go buy some things."
Tang Dalong: "I'll take you there. I know Hongshoufang very well."
Xu Shimo thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright."
All that was needed to buy were some bedding. Now that Xu Shimo had practiced martial arts, his body was strong and vigorous, and his physical condition was far superior to before, so he was not as afraid of the cold anymore. It cost less than three hundred coins.
What Tang Dalong couldn't understand was why Xu Shimo was so picky about brushing his teeth, spending an extra ten or so coins.
Upon closer inspection of Xu Shimo's pristine white porcelain teeth, it dawned on him that his family had fallen on hard times.
How could a poor family raise such a set of white teeth?
He opened his mouth and then closed it again, secretly licking his teeth with his tongue. Tang Dalong felt a little envious.
"Da Long, could you please take this back for me? I need to go to Chief Lin's house."
They were all martial arts practitioners, and the bedding wasn't heavy. Xu Shimo didn't like to trouble others, but time was an issue.
"Okay, Brother Mo."
After Tang Dalong left, Xu Shimo bought five more catties of meat and carried them to Lin Chatou's house.
It cost eight hundred coins.
Of course, this amount of money is nothing compared to the kindness of Lin Chatou in teaching him swordsmanship, and it is far from enough to repay the debt, not to mention that he has also found himself a job.
But the debt of gratitude is not enough, and I cannot leave it unpaid; at least I should express my gratitude in some small way.
Walking into Little Turtle Alley, Xu Shimo knocked on the door in front of the willow tree.
Lin Jing wasn't home; only Lin Zhiyou was there. After a few soft footsteps, she was heard asking from behind the door, "Who is it? Is it Uncle... or Brother Shimo?"
"It's me," Xu Shimo replied.
The door opened smoothly, revealing a fair and clean face.
Lin Zhiyou had a slight smile on her lips, her eyes were closed, and her curved eyelashes fluttered, making one wonder how lively those eyes would be if they were open.
From uncle to brother, he suddenly looks much younger. But is Lin the constable trying to take advantage of me? Xu Shimo thought to himself, but at the moment he was even more curious:
How did you know it was me?
Lin Zhiyou proudly tapped the tip of her nose with her fingertip and said, "Brother Shimo, as the saying goes, you can't lose anything without gaining something. My nose is always right. You have a faint camellia scent on you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shimo fell silent, unconsciously squeezing the sachet in his arms. It was a gift from his senior sister when he was a graduate student before he transmigrated.
Unfortunately, my senior sister has already stayed at Kunshan.
Yesterday's events seem like a dream, and I have inexplicably found myself in the game "Ascension to the Throne".
"Did I say something wrong?" Lin Zhiyou asked, fidgeting with her fingers.
She suddenly remembered the girl named Zhang Wan.
Xu Shimo shook his head: "No, Youniang has such a clever nose."
He then briefly explained his purpose, brought the meat into the house, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left.
After walking several dozen steps to the door, Xu Shimo stopped in front of the willow tree and turned around.
Lin Zhiyou stood behind the threshold, facing the direction he had left, and waited for a while before touching the door and closing it.
Xu Shimo didn't linger any longer and went to Mingchuntang to check the money on his person.
The monthly salary of an ordinary constable is five hundred coins, and now he only has three taels of silver left, plus three hundred and sixty-one coins.
If I buy another Qi and Blood Pill...
enough!
