After leaving the town hall, a few idle thugs had already followed suit. These people were all immigrants in the town, pretending to be powerful and earning some food and pocket money. Don't underestimate this festival. In Cixi, there are really not many people who dare to show off on the streets with their arms tied. Thinking of Li Ji, who arrived at the beginning of the year, he was neither familiar with human relationships nor possessed strong military skills. He was particularly arrogant and conceited, but in less than a month, he was slapped with black bricks and took advantage of Wei Guoguang for nothing. In the past year, the newly born Li Ji has accomplished several remarkable things. Six months ago, he captured the cross-border bandit Hua Dao Kou Dan Feng alone, and three months ago, he led the villagers to resist the bandits on Mount Zuitou, killing 19 bandits with his hands. His outstanding performance in the water dispute with Wanghou Township yesterday also made him truly worthy of the title of "Upstream". Of course, he is generous in his actions and has no need for anyone to teach him.

To the north of the town office, there is a flower alley not far away. Several flower houses in Cixi are mostly concentrated here, with half closed doors. A few people sneaked over and accidentally spilled a basin of foot wash water in mid air. Fortunately, Li Ji's agility allowed him to dodge, but he couldn't help but get some water stains on his pants.

Did I grow your eyes on your buttocks, you meat jerks? I almost threw a man's face... "Before Li Ji could speak, several of his subordinates had already started cursing at the window. The culprit upstairs had already closed the window and remained silent. A few idle thugs roll up their arms and sleeves to rush up and take people. This kind of thing is their favorite, not to mention delicious food and drink, maybe they can even get a little cheaper. Li Ji waved his hand to stop it, which made several dilapidated households itch.

Li Ji is not a kind-hearted person without temper. He knows his own affairs, and this basin of water is probably really aimed at him. He can even guess the person who splashed the water - the Little Peach Fairy of Zhongxianglou. This is a bad debt left by the original owner for him. This guy has only been in Cixi for a few days, and the situation has not opened up yet. Instead, he has hooked up with the smoke and dust woman Xiao Taoxian, and the two of them have lived and flown together, like good honey mixed with oil. Later on, Li Ji also witnessed the little peach fairy. At the age of ten or so, she was short and thin, with a face that was as plain as the soles of her shoes. Although she had some beauty, her appearance as a minor made him lose interest at all. It was not that he pretended to be a saint, but he really didn't like it. What should he do if he contracted some illness in such a place where there were three classes and nine classes? So he distanced himself from her, but in the eyes of Little Peach Fairy, there was another excuse. When he caught someone, he cried and complained that Li Ji had become successful and no longer cared about their past relationship, which made Li Ji mute and unable to express his grievances. They are all unfortunate people, weak women. Can we really go up and beat her up? I can only swallow my pride and not provoke her.

Not far from Chuhua Lane, there is a large courtyard with an old tree in front of it, which is very steep. The sound of children reading can be heard from inside, and the idle people all know their own wandering temperament and sing away one after another. Li Ji straightened his clothes and gently slipped in through the corner door. He also came here to study, of course, not with the children.

When it comes to the abundance of books in Cixi Town, there are three choices: Qiang Laoxu Jihai, the richest man Wang Dahua, and the Ming Shitang in front of us. Books are very precious in this world. Ordinary people spend their days running around for a living, so they don't have the spare money to buy books.

Among the three families, although there are many letters from Qiang Lao Xu and Ji Hai, most of them are related to the imperial examination system, which is useless to read. Wang Dahu and Li Ji cannot be flattered, and he will not lower his head. Only this Mingshi Hall, whose owner Mr. Zhu Lao is upright, rigorous, knowledgeable, and has a good reputation in Cixi.

In order to enter the Ming Dynasty Hall to study, Li Ji put in a lot of effort at the beginning. The Zhu family was not short of money, so Li Ji took care of all the physical work in the Ming Dynasty Hall, such as carrying water, chopping wood, cleaning, and changing tiles, for a full month. Only then did Mr. Zhu allow him to read for two hours a day. Just reading books, not taking apprentices. In Mr. Zhu's opinion, Li Ji is too vulgar and rotten...

Li Ji read a lot of books, except for the imperial examination books, he read everything. Especially fond of reading miscellaneous books such as mountains, rivers, geography, local customs, biographies, historical changes, etc. In the words of Mr. Zhu, he is a fool who never misses anything except for serious books. He doesn't understand Li Ji. For Li Ji, these miscellaneous books are the best window to understand the world.

Through half a year of reading and constantly integrating his own memories, Li Ji also gained a general understanding of the world. This continent is called the Northern Han Continent, which is one of the seven continents in this world. The Northern Han Continent is divided by the Yunhan Tian Ridge, roughly dividing the entire continent into two regions: the Northern Forty Three Kingdoms and the Southern Fifty Eight Kingdoms. The Southern Li Kingdom, which belongs to Cixi, is one of the Southern Fifty Eight Kingdoms. Through extensive reading, Li Ji learned a lot, but also raised many questions, such as...

The dynastic succession of countries on this continent is very stable. In Li Ji's previous life, a dynasty would only last for a few hundred years, but here, there are countless dynasties that have lasted for thousands of years, with the longest even reaching 3000 years. This is simply unimaginable...

There are very few wars between countries, and hundreds of countries on a continent actually get along very well, all of whom are pacifists?

People's lives are relatively stable, perhaps not wealthy, but at least it seems that no one has starved to death anywhere. How can this be managed? Where are the treacherous ministers? Where are the unscrupulous businessmen? What about land consolidation? What about the rebels who say 'I can replace them'? What about those heroes who are known as' kings and generals with good manners'?

Perhaps what Li Ji saw was not comprehensive, after all, talking on paper was shallow and he had not yet had the opportunity to go out and truly see the world. However, many things did confuse him, as if he had missed something very important...

Two hours passed quickly in the sea of books. At noon, Li Ji dealt with a random bite and headed straight to the next destination - Qian Ji Pharmacy, the largest pharmacy in Cixi. He is not buying medicine, but learning the distribution of acupoints in the human body from the attending physician. If the morning is for studying literature, then the afternoon is for studying martial arts. Qian Ji Pharmacy has the best sitting physician in Cixi, who is said to be the holy hand of doctors who have returned home from the elderly in Shuangcheng. It is easy to teach some acupoint knowledge.

In previous online articles, acupoint knowledge may seem insignificant and something that should be known naturally, but in reality, it is not that simple. At least Li Ji is confused about this. There are hundreds of acupoints in the human body, where are they located and what are their functions? Without mastering these, there can be no advanced internal skills. These things cannot be solved just by giving you a acupoint diagram. People are different from each other. For example, Guan Yuan acupoint is located three inches below the navel. This may be true for a person of normal height. If someone is 8 feet tall, then the three inches below the navel may not have reached Guan Yuan acupoint. If they are a 3-foot dwarf, then their three inches below the navel may have already reached an indescribable point. Li Ji learned acupoints with the help of a doctor, identifying the specific locations of hundreds of acupoints in his body one by one. This is not easy and requires continuous exploration. Fortunately, after persisting for an hour every day for half a year, Li Ji has basically mastered these basic things.

At the end of the day, Li Ji's life was very fulfilling. It was not the exhaustion of running around for cars and houses in his past life. This fulfillment made him feel that he was making progress every day, his sword was getting faster and faster, his internal strength was getting more and more abundant, and his understanding of the world and his body was getting deeper and deeper... He is preparing... Preparing to explore this world fearlessly one day.
