Chapter 72 Five Animals



Chapter 72 Five Animals

In the afternoon, Fang Zhixing went to the Weapon Casting Hall at Tieshan Gate.

Tieshanmen has many branches, spread across more than ten counties in Qinghe County and some important towns.

There is also a hall in Qinglin County, which is the Weapon Casting Hall.

As the name suggests, the main business of the Weapon Casting Hall is forging various types of weapons and armor.

In a short while, Fang Zhixing and Xigou arrived at the gate of the Casting Hall from Jinshui Tower.

"Master Fang Xiang, is that you?"

When the gatekeeper saw him, he recognized him at a glance and bowed to greet him.

Fang Zhixing asked in surprise: "Have you seen me?"

The gatekeeper smiled and said, "This is the first time I see you, but Master Lu specifically told us that you might come today and bring a dog with you, so we should be careful and not lose our manners."

Fang Zhixing understood and said, "Please go and report this to Hall Master Lu."

The gatekeeper waved his hand and said, "Master Lu said that when you come, he will take you directly to see him. There is no need to inform him."

Only then will you know that there is nothing wrong with doing it.

Then, led by the gatekeeper, he entered the hall, where he heard clanging sounds one after another.

The air was thick with the smell of burning charcoal.

"It turns out that this Weapon Casting Hall is a military factory!" Xigou transmitted the message.

Fang Zhixing nodded secretly and replied, "The armor that Butler Wen gave me might have been made by the Weapon Casting Hall."

As they were walking, a vehicle 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 a length of one and a half meters.

The entire set of armor, if connected together, would be at least three meters long!

Such a huge armor is for humans to wear?

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but frown.

"Master Fang Xiang, Master Lu's study is in front." The gatekeeper said with a smile.

Fang Zhixing withdrew his gaze, cheered himself up, and quickened his pace.

The gatekeeper walked up and knocked on the door, then went in and announced it.

"Brother Fang, right? Please come in quickly."

After a while, Lu Anfu's laughter was heard in the room. He seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and his voice was filled with a happy tone.

Fang Zhi walked in, bowed and said, "Master Lu."

Lu Anfu laughed and said, "Please sit down, brother. Someone, bring some good tea."

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea.

Fang Zhixing took the initiative to speak: "Master Lu, it is now widely rumored 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 such thing as great wealth."

Fang Zhixing showed a curious expression and asked, "Seriously, how did you scheme against the Dong family? They actually took the bait so easily?"

Lu Anfu was silent for a while, then he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "You and I have a grudge against each other. From now on, you and I will be one of us, so I won't hide it. To tell you the truth, it was not me who schemed against the Dong family, but the county magistrate!"

Fang Zhixing's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in astonishment: "This, this, is it true?"

Lu Anfu chuckled 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 schemed by the county magistrate. There are deep waters here. What I can tell you is that the county magistrate actually had a lot of difficulties, and he had to do it."

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 rising up, and all places are in danger. We have to recruit more people, and the expenses are increasing day by day, like a bottomless pit.

Take your archer battalion for example. You didn't have one before, but now you have 300 more archers. Just feeding them is a huge expense.

At this critical moment, a batch of military pay was robbed by pirates, which naturally gave the county magistrate a headache.

But the wealthy people in the city were like stingy people and were not willing to donate money at all.

As a last resort, the county magistrate resorted to a trick and ordered me to set up a market and make a lot of money from those wealthy families."

Fang Zhixing suddenly understood everything.

As expected, everything Luo Peiyun did was to make money! Well, let's ignore these messes for now.

Fang Zhixing did not forget the important matter and said solemnly: "Master Lu, can you give me the follow-up exercises of Iron Mountain Kung Fu now?"

He can't wait.

From Songlin Temple to the county town, all his actions were to obtain the subsequent skills of Tieshan Kung Fu.

Although the process was full of twists and turns, at this moment, you will finally get what you want.

"certainly!"

Lu Anfu nodded and asked, "Which category do you want?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Um???"

Fang Zhixing was stunned. He didn't understand and asked hesitantly, "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, and given his personality, he may not be willing to tell you too many things."

Fang Zhixing quickly lowered his posture and asked, "Please give me some pointers."

Lu Anfu nodded and explained carefully: "The first three realms of martial arts training are Penetration of Strength, Great Python, and Five Animals."

"The Guanli state is to twist all the strength of the whole body into a rope."

"The Great Python Realm is a further advancement of the Penetrating Strength Realm."

"However, both the Penetrating Strength Realm and the Great Python Realm are about laying the foundation, using relatively crude methods to consolidate the body and increase the strength of the physical body."

"When we reach the Five Animals Realm, we use refined methods to improve our bodies and strengthen our powers."

As he spoke, Lu Anfu raised his right hand and stretched out five fingers.

He explained carefully: "After countless predecessors' deductions, the physical strength of warriors has been summarized into four categories and five stages."

"The first category is the ability to withstand attacks, which is defense."

"The second is resilience, the third is agility, and the fourth is strength!"

"Defense, toughness, agility, strength!"

"If we want to fine-tune our bodies, we should start with these four categories and strengthen them one by one. There is no order of priority. You can choose any one to strengthen."

"For example, you can improve your strength first. Then, as long as your strength is improved, your agility, toughness, and defense will also be improved."

"When the power reaches perfection, then improve the other three points, and so on, until all four categories have reached perfection."

"At this point, you have already gone through four stages of practice, and the last stage is the 'balance' practice."

"That is, you need to integrate the four points, make the body natural and coordinated, and eliminate all weaknesses and shortcomings, so as to achieve perfection as much as possible."

"There are 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 two rows, one corresponding to the other.

Lu Anfu pointed at the animals in the painting and said slowly, "The five stages of practice have different focuses. To facilitate understanding and memorization, they are often replaced by certain animals. There are five animals for each of men and women."

Five sections: defense, resilience, agility, strength, and balance; men: black tortoise, spirit ape, shadow leopard, giant bear, and violent tiger; women: sand scorpion, sky python, spirit crane, white whale, and graceful lion.

"Five kinds of animals and five stages. This is the Five Animals Realm!"

"If you master one, it's 'One Bird Realm', if you master two, it's 'Two Bird Realm', and so on, then you have 'Three Bird Realm', 'Four Bird Realm', and 'Five Bird Realm'."
