After leaving on Thursday, Zhou An picked up the lancet he had taken from Zhou Tie two days ago, looked at it, looked at it for a while, and shook his head. After all, he was a blacksmith in the village. He could make some farm tools and kitchen utensils, but he could also make weapons.
However, the craftsmanship is a bit inferior, and the blade has no brilliance. Apart from the shape of the blade, it is like an iron lump. I am afraid that even if you kill a pig or a sheep, it will take several cuts to kill it.
We have to wait until we get to the county seat to build it later, and now we are reluctantly using it.
As for the epee, it is better to leave it to Zhou Tie to make it. After all, the epee only needs to be heavy enough and does not have high requirements for sharpness.
Next, Zhou An read the secret manual of Piaoyunbu, and the dark attribute panel also showed that Piaoyunbu had reached the state of being uninitiated. Zhou An originally wanted to practice blood coagulation, but he is not coagulating blood now.
If you can't practice in the realm of coagulation, you can only practice in the blood coagulation realm in the future.
There is still one and a half months to go before the Chinese New Year. I will try to practice Silver Body Kung Fu and Piao Yun Step to the basics within one and a half months. By the way, I will also read more of the classics and history collections left by Zhou An in the past to increase his knowledge.
, otherwise he will not understand anything when he arrives at Jian'an Academy, and his secret will be exposed by then.
Zhou An then spent the following hours practicing Silver Body Kung Fu in the morning, Piao Yun Step in the afternoon, studying in the evening, and visiting her in Qingrou's yard from time to time.
Ten days later, Zhou An not only read all the books he found for him on Thursday, but also read some books such as "The Great Learning", "Book of Rites", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and so on.
While reading, Zhou An discovered two pieces of information in the book given to him on Thursday. The first piece of information was that there was a cemetery at the east end of Zhoujiazhuang village, and in this cemetery the dead villagers of Zhoujiazhuang were buried.
The reason why this information attracted his attention was because if he wanted to get soul points, he could only get them after a dead person. Zhou An guessed that the soul points might be human souls, so it was possible to get soul points in the cemetery.
Zhou An went there in his spare time, and he got 4 points as expected. What made Zhou An very puzzled was why he only got 4 points. There were so many dead people in the cemetery. In the end, Zhou An guessed that there might be some dead people in the cemetery.
Maybe he died for too long, so he didn't get any soul points, and the 4 soul points he got were probably buried in the soil not long after his death.
The second piece of information was that the slaughterhouse in Zhoujiazhuang was dedicated to slaughtering pigs and sheep. It was a place in the village that specialized in slaughtering livestock. Zhou An went around and got 0.6 soul points, but not much. This made Zhou An
An was very disappointed. He originally thought he would get a lot of soul points by finding these two places.
However, this is also a way to obtain soul points. In the future, he will also visit these two places in other villages to obtain soul points.
Although the soul points obtained by going to these two places were beyond his expectation, he was still very happy when he saw so many soul points on the dark attribute panel.
Name: Zhou An
Dark skills (redeemable): Summon crows and howl wildly.
Martial Arts: Heavy Iron Sword Technique (Third Level) Deduction, Lancet Technique (First Level), Silver Body Kung Fu (Not Beginner), Floating Cloud Step (Not Beginner), Blood Coagulation Technique (Not Beginner).
Soul points:8.8
With so many soul points, the most important thing now is to get the Silver Body Technique and Piaoyun Technique into the door. As for the Lancet Technique, he can only put it down. After all, he now has the Heavy Iron Sword Technique to rely on.
After practicing the Silver Body Skill and Piaoyun Step these days, he has already touched some signs. It is estimated that after a few more days of practice, Zhou An will be able to practice to the beginning. However, Zhou An still wants to practice faster, so the remaining few
Oh my god, Zhou An concentrated on practicing the Silver Body Kung Fu. As for the Piaoyun Step, he would not practice it until he finished practicing the Silver Body Kung Fu.
Next, Zhou An smeared mercury all over his body every day and stayed in the house to practice. He even had less time to study.
Finally, five days later, Zhou An sat cross-legged on the bed, his body covered with mercury, his body trembling, and drops of silver sweat flowing on his body, as if Zhou An was enduring something.
ah!!
Zhou An yelled and collapsed on the bed.
"I finally got started with Silver Body Kung Fu."
Zhou An murmured,
Then he opened the Dark Attributes panel, and the word "Not Beginner" behind "Silver Body Kung Fu" changed to "Beginner", with a plus sign at the end.
Zhou An clicked the plus sign and suddenly felt pain in his body, but luckily he could hold it back. This continued for half a quarter of an hour, and the pain gradually decreased and finally disappeared.
Zhou An knew that the Silver Body Skill had reached the first level. According to the secret book record, the Silver Body Skill had five levels, unlike the Heavy Iron Sword Technique and the Lancet Technique he had obtained, which had three levels and could only be practiced to the advanced level of physical training.
The Silver Body Skill is at the fifth level and can be practiced to the level of blood coagulation.
Therefore, Zhou An attaches great importance to the Silver Body Skill, which is the only one among his several skills that can be practiced to the level of blood coagulation.
Then Zhou An clicked the plus sign again, and the silver body skill changed from the first level to the second level. Zhou An's body started to hurt again. This time the pain was much more severe than last time. The pain made Zhou An scream in pain.
After getting up, half a quarter of an hour later, the pain gradually disappeared and the second level was reached.
Zhou An looked at the plus sign and hesitated whether to click it. It was so painful when he went up to the second level that he couldn't bear it. If he wanted to go up to the third level, it would definitely be even more painful. In the end, Zhou An decided to click it again.
Now, he feels it's still bearable and he hasn't reached his limit yet.
The pain this time was more painful than last time. This time it was pain that penetrated deep into the soul. Zhou An screamed unconsciously. After half a quarter of an hour, the pain passed, but Zhou An could not exert any strength and could only be weak.
He lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
"Master, I asked you to go to dinner." Xiaoqiu's knock came from outside the house.
Zhou An woke up and looked at the weather outside. It was already noon. He moved his hands and feet. His limbs were a little limp, but he could still move.
When they arrived at the back hall, Zhou Dacai, Qingrou, and Zhou Xiaocui were already sitting there waiting for Zhou An's arrival. Zhou Dacai's first wife Xu Yuhua did not come. She was now focused on chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist hall, and she usually ate vegetarian dishes in the Buddhist hall when eating.
, so Zhou An could not see her all year round.
"I see that you look a little bad and you are sick again. Do you need to invite Zhou Lang over again to have a look at you?" Qingrou said with concern when she saw Zhou An's face looked a little bad.
"It's not necessary for my mother, I just have some bad sleep. I'll be fine if I sleep more tonight." Zhou An said.
"Since there's nothing wrong, let's sit down and eat." Zhou Dacai picked up the chopsticks and said.
Zhou An sat down and ate with everyone. The food in the Zhou family was quite good. Zhou Dacai specially hired a famous chef to cook for his family. Although each meal was not big fish or meat, the food was still very refined.
After eating, Zhou An walked towards his yard.
"Have you heard that the whole village in Fushan Village is dead? There are no living people and no dead bodies."
"I also heard that the county government officials also went there, and several people died. Later, after investigation, nothing could be found, so the government simply sealed off the entire Fushan Village and prohibited people from entering."
"I heard from my uncle's second aunt's third aunt's cousin that one night when he was passing by Fushan Village, he heard a woman crying from the village. It was very scary. Do you think Fushan Village is haunted?
Well, the ghost killed everyone in the village."
"This is possible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why all the people in a village disappeared."
…………
Fushan Village!
Zhou An knew about this village. There was a hill called Fushan to the north of Zhoujiazhuang, and there was a small village on Fushan called Fushan Village.
Although Zhoujiazhuang is not close to Fushan Village, there is only a small forest between them. In the past, Zhoujiazhuang and Fushan Village often communicated with each other and exchanged some goods with each other. Some female relatives from their villages even married into Fushan Village.
As for the disappearance of the entire Fushan Village, Zhou An couldn't help but think of the similar ghosts he encountered, which made Zhou An feel heavy because Fushan Village and Zhoujiazhuang were too close.
I seem to be thinking too much. It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow, so I need to think carefully about how to spend this year well.
While thinking about it, Zhou An returned to his small courtyard and started practicing the Piaoyun Step.
In the afternoon, Zhou An's half-brother Zhou Dabao came back from the county town and brought many gifts, including Buddhist beads for Xu Yuhua, a tiger skin coat for Zhou Dacai, puppet toys for Zhou Xiaocui, and a puppet for Yunrou.
A guqin, and finally bought some ancient books for Zhou An.
Zhou An looked at these ancient books and smiled bitterly. In Zhou Dabao's heart, he was still a nerd who was obsessed with reading.
