The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and thought: I was out of sight. I thought this thin guy was a little thief. The exquisite diorama in his hand was stolen from a Fushen Mansion. I didn't expect that this guy had some courage. It would be a bit worthwhile to fight for a mirror.

So he said, "Master, if you are a fool, this mirror is only a few taels, and it is impossible to increase the price. But why should you be angry about the price of this diorama?" He hummed in his heart: I'll give in a little bit. If you are ungrateful and insist on bringing this mirror to other pawn shops, don't think about going straight out today.

Then he said with a little threatening meaning: "Master Ding, Master Wang, please back down, don't scare this guest."

After hearing the shopkeeper's orders, the two guards took two steps back and widened the distance from Zhao Boduan. In an instant, the hostility in the pawnshop seemed to have dissipated a lot.

Under this situation, Zhao Boduan saw that the shopkeeper had already made some concessions. When the enemy was strong and I was weak, he did not dare to challenge the two strong men. So he pretended to be angry and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, you are really unscrupulous. Forget it, just think I have been working for a few days in vain." However, he considered that if he really had a conflict with the pawn shop, the mirror and lighter in his backpack would be snatched away. It would be very unprofitable to lose dozens of mirrors for a mirror. However, I remember the grudges I made today. When I practiced my martial arts, I had to snatch all this shop!

"Haha, I'm the best in Fuzhou City when I look at things. The guest official will not suffer any loss at all. If you meet other shopkeepers who don't know the treasure, you may not be able to take a single tael of silver." The shopkeeper smiled with an old face, and immediately took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the counter.

Zhao Boduan accepted the money with anger. When he walked out of the pawnshop, he heard a smug laugh from behind. It was obvious that the shopkeeper felt that he had taken advantage of the situation. He became more angry and silently recited the four words "Hengfeng Pawn" and his thoughts of learning martial arts became stronger.

People on the streets were shoulder to shoulder, but Zhao Boduan had various thoughts in his mind. He wanted to rush in and fight with the shopkeeper and the thugs; he wanted to set a fire on the pawnshop to burn the pickled place at night; he wanted to go to the county government to complain, so that the pawnshop would suffer a great loss.

However, Zhao Boduan thought about it carefully: he could not beat the two guys who were accomplices of the tiger, so he should not die. It would not be too late to come to settle the score with them after he achieved some martial arts. It is not good to set fire at night. Even if he sets the pawnshop, these guys don’t know who sets the fire. If they can’t see their angry expressions, such revenge will certainly not be considered successful.

I thought of it again: the success rate of complaining to the county government is not high, and the shopkeeper dares to rely on thugs to threaten him in broad daylight. I think the backstage is likely to be a gentry in the Ming Dynasty or a gang force in Fuzhou City. It is useless to complain. This is not as good as modern society in ancient times, and it is completely unreliable to believe that the county master is a clean official who decides for the people.

After this blow, Zhao Boduan's relaxed game-like mentality when he first entered Fuzhou City was completely gone. He felt an invisible net rushing towards him. His experience in the real society seemed to be ineffective. This place was too barbaric, and the social order was far worse than the real earth. Zhao Boduan remembered that this place was essentially a martial arts world, and of course all the principles had to be spoken by fists.

It is necessary to consider carefully about the future itinerary and which sect to learn martial arts next. So Zhao Boduan quickly found a cleaner inn, rented a room with a window near the street, and sat on a chair and thought about it.

Zhao Boduan thought: The famous sects in this world include Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, Kunlun Sect, Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Songshan Sect, Hengshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Hengshan Sect, and Taishan Sect. The biggest evil sect is the Sun and Moon Sect. As for the martial arts of other small sects such as Baiyao Sect, Wudo Sect, and Tianhe Gang, the martial arts of them are mediocre, and when you go there, you should learn some low-level martial arts, which is equivalent to a waste of time.

There is no need to consider Shaolin and Wudang. These two sects have a strong reputation and are strict in accepting disciples. They rarely learn martial arts. Emei Sect and Hengshan Sect have both been excluded. These two sects have only female disciples, and I am not Linghu Chong with the halo of the protagonist.

The Qingcheng Sect's martial arts are only better than small sects such as the Five Poison Sect, and they are far away in Sichuan. It is estimated that it will take more than a month to arrive. Excluded. The Sun and Moon Sect has many people, and they may be used as cannon fodder when they enter, and may be fed poisons like the Three Corpse Brain Worm Pill. It is really terrifying. Excluded. Kunlun is far northwest, thousands of miles away from Fuzhou, so it is too far away. After counting in one lap, the remaining four sects left in the Five Mountains Alliance, except for the Hengshan Sect.

Zhao Boduan weighed the pros and consented for a long time, but he woke up until his stomach was rumbling. After stopping his thoughts, he quickly walked to the window and found that it was dark. It was probably already evening. It turned out that he had been sitting on a chair and thought for an afternoon. Now he was hungry and had to find some food. He thought: Since he came to the martial arts world, wouldn’t it be a pity if he didn’t try the heroes and heroes often ordered cooked beef in the hotel?

After laughing, Zhao Bo came downstairs and found Zhang Wuren's table. After sitting down, he said to the sixteen-year-old waiter not far away: "Come here, waiter, how much does a pound of cooked beef cost?"

The waiter with a white towel on his shoulder approached, wiped the table all over, and smiled and said, "The guest officer really has a good eye. The sauce beef we have here is very famous in Fuzhou City, and everyone who has eaten it praises it. Of course, the price is a little bit expensive, one pound of beef costs half a tael of silver."

Zhao Boduan was startled and said strangely: "A hundred kilograms of rice cost only half a tael of silver, and beef is indeed very expensive." The waiter said: "Strong cattle cannot be slaughtered. Only when the cows in the countryside will naturally die of old age. Such cows are rare. Moreover, there are many people robbing beef, so there are even less beef that can come to us."

"Then give me a pound of beef and two vegetarian dishes." Zhao Boduan said relievedly. After saying that, he found that the waiter did not walk away, but stood there motionless. He understood that he was worried that he could not afford the meal, so he snorted. Zhao Boduan had a very unhesitant face and handed over a piece of silver to Xiaoer.

While waiting for the meal to be served, the idle Zhao Bo took the guests to observe the meal. After counting a little, he found that about twenty guests were sitting in the hall. Half of them should not be able to do anything, because there were no weapons next to their tables and chairs, and they did not have a fierce temperament in their faces. While half of the others were heroic, shouting and shouting. The messy sounds in the lobby were made from their mouths, and there were various weapons such as swords, sticks, and maces on their tables and chairs.

When the waiter delivered the meal, Zhao Boduan stopped him and asked, "You have been here for a long time and must know a lot about the world. Then let me ask you, will the Five Yue Sword Sect accept disciples of my age?"

The waiter looked at Zhao Boduan carefully and said strangely: "You are not looking for me to be happy. You are nineteen or twenty years old. You have missed the age of practicing martial arts. Which sect would accept such a big disciple? If there is a respectable gang leader like General Lin of the Fuwei Escort Agency, you will probably have a 20% chance of being included in the Wuyue Sword Sect."

Then he said: "Of course, if the guest officials were willing to give more than 10,000 taels of silver to the filial piety, there would probably be a few chances to join the Wuyue Sword Sect. The young man heard that the Fuwei Escort Agency gave 10,000 taels of silver to the Qingcheng Sect every year, with the purpose of wanting the Qingcheng Sect to take care of its escort team in Sichuan. Tsk, this is a real 10,000 taels of silver. If you can buy hundreds of fields in the countryside, you will not have to worry about food and clothing in your life." His tone showed great envy.

After hearing this, Zhao Boduan felt like he was being slapped with half a basin of cold water. He was discouraged and thought: This waiter has been living among all the many ancestry and has heard a lot of things in the world. He must have some basis for what he said. He really can't afford such a large amount of tens of thousands of taels of silver. It seems that the chance of joining a major sect is very slim.

He sighed in his heart: Forget it, let’s ask the butler of the time traveler first to see if he has any good solutions. So he asked the waiter to step down and silently said in his heart: “Butler, you know my current situation now. Tell me how to learn profound martial arts by joining a famous sect?”

"This is not an online game on earth. The master can only find a way to obtain secrets by himself. He may either pick up secrets by himself, steal them by himself, or join the sect of the martial arts world. However, there is a place where martial arts can be called peerless magical skills in the martial arts world, and the defense there is extremely slack, and ordinary people like the master can easily obtain them."

The butler's words made Zhao Boduan's heart heat up again, and he said, "Where is that? Is it in a cave under a nameless cliff?"

"As far as I know, there are twenty-six places in the nameless cave, all of which contain various martial arts secrets, but you cannot tell the master these places." The butler said again, "The only places you can talk about are also known by the master, but you haven't remembered it for a moment. I remind the master that the martial arts secrets are in this Fuzhou City."

Zhao Boduan was a little puzzled, so he picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he felt that the beef was fragrant and smooth, which was indeed good, but now he didn't focus on the beef. I thought: Fuzhou City is the provincial capital of Fujian, and the government has a huge power and a large population. Apart from some martial arts escort agencies, there seems to be no famous martial arts sects, and there are no secrets of advanced martial arts.

Suddenly, he thought of something and rushed to his chest with anger and shouted: "Are you talking about the Lin family's evil-proof sword recipe? Although this thing can be called a magical skill in the world, it makes the practitioners lose their children and grandchildren. Are you watching me become a eunuch?"

The housekeeper advised: "Apart from this, the unique skills are all the guarded mice that cannot enter, let alone you, the master who does not have any kung fu. For the Shaolin Sutra Pavilion, the Zhenwu Hall in Wudang and the Wencheng Wude Hall in Heimu Cliff, the places where secret books are placed, for your safety, it is better not to make any decisions about them."

This hateful guy, even if I can't steal the secret book, you don't have to be so straightforward. Zhao Boduan cursed the butler in his heart, and thought to himself dejectedly: Although these words are not very listenable, there are some truths. The secrets of martial arts are the reason why various sects stand tall in the world, so they will never relax their guards. Even if they have worked for the sect for more than ten or twenty years, there are many disciples who have not learned their unique skills, let alone outsiders stole them easily.

I thought of it again: The butler refused to tell me the location of the cave that contains martial arts. There are countless caves in this world. If I look for caves everywhere, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I may not be able to find it in ten or eight years. In this way, it seems that the road to finding secrets left by the laity master is probably not clear.
