Chapter 183 Spending money like water

Of course, this may be because the Hunyuan Gong and Zixia Gong that were originally practiced were too rubbish in accumulating internal strength. In this regard, Chunyang Wuji Gong is indeed much better.

Perhaps it was the power of the Pure Yang Wuji Gong that combined yin and yang, Xin Zhen grew extremely fast in the past year and looked more like a boy of fifteen or sixteen than thirteen years old.

The two walked out of the forest and came to the main road. Facing the road that ran through the north and south, Zhou Zhiruo was a little confused.

"Brother Xin, where are we going?"

Zhou Zhiruo looked up at Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen looked at the clothes Zhou Zhiruo was wearing and said with a smile, "Let's go to Mingguang County to buy some clothes first!"

Zhou Zhiruo looked at the boy's clothes on her body and shook her head, "This clothes is pretty good, don't you need to buy it?"

Zhou Zhiruo's clothes were all tattered before she entered the valley. She changed into boys' clothes inside the valley. Although they were boys' clothes, she felt that they were very good.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "What's so good about it? This is servants' clothes, and they are for boys. You are a girl, so of course you have to dress nicely.

Also, we need to find a blacksmith shop to make two swords. We can’t travel the world without swords.”

Zhou Zhiruo heard that it was serious business, and nodded quickly, "Then let's go quickly."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, then said, "It's a long way to go, we have to run there."

Zhou Zhiruo was not afraid. She had already tasted the benefits of her internal strength when she was rushing through the mountains. She only felt a little tired on the way out, instead of being unable to walk like she was a year ago.

However, she ran for half an hour without stopping. Zhou Zhiruo was already tired, and now she was even more exhausted. Xin Zhen saw the opportunity and gave her some advice: "Try to practice Zixia Gong."

Zhou Zhiruo was startled and said breathlessly: "Running... running... to practice?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Pay attention to adjusting your breathing and letting the internal energy flow through your meridians. Don't deliberately move the internal energy to your feet."

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly slowed down, then slowly picked up her speed. Suddenly, her body seemed to become lighter. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she looked at Xin Zhen in disbelief.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Now try to ignore how your internal energy works."

Zhou Zhiruo then widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Brother Zhou, it's running on its own!"

Xin Zhen stopped. Zhou Zhiruo was caught off guard and rushed forward for several feet before she braked hastily. Then she ran towards Xin Zhen and said happily, "Brother Zhou, my inner strength doesn't need me to activate it. It runs so fast on its own!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Well, this is called the self-governing inner force. From now on, it will be running all the time, whether you are walking, sitting or lying down, it will run autonomously. Your inner force will increase every moment, and from now on, every day you will feel stronger than yesterday!"

Zhou Zhiruo nodded happily, and then suddenly asked: "Brother Zhou, is this your unique secret book?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Not now, because you know it too."

Zhou Zhiruo said solemnly, "I will definitely not tell anyone else."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded: "Well, I believe you."

After running for half an hour, the two of them saw a town ahead, which was Mingguang City. They entered the city and found a ready-made clothing store. The shopkeeper saw a young man with a girl in boy's clothes coming in, and thought they were the master and the maid, so he quickly greeted them, "Young master, do you want to buy ready-made clothes or fabrics?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I am not a young master at all, just call me guest.

My brother and I both need to buy clothes. It would be best if we have ready-made clothes. If not, we can make a few sets now."

The shopkeeper said quickly, "You two guests can take a look at these ready-made clothes. If you like any of them, just buy them. If you don't like them, I will ask the master to take your measurements and make clothes for you. However, it won't be that fast. You have to wait at least a day or two."

Xin Zhen nodded, turned to Zhou Zhiruo and said, "Zhiruo, take a look and see if there is anyone you like."

Zhou Zhiruo timidly looked at the shopkeeper, then at the brand new clothes hanging on the wall. She glanced at the prices on the clothes and seemed to be shocked. Then she whispered, "Brother, my current clothes are pretty good. Why don't you just buy them? I won't use them."

Xin Zhen smiled, then glanced at the women's clothing, and pointed at two of them and said, "Let my sister try these two sets. They both need to be matched with underwear, shoes, and socks. Do you have sizes for the clothes?"

The shopkeeper took a look at the clothes Xin Zhen pointed out. They were quite expensive. If he bought a full set of clothes, he would make a lot of money today. He immediately said happily, "You can ask the tailor to change the size on the spot. I'll ask my wife to take Miss to try on the clothes."

Xin Zhen smiled and said to Zhou Zhiruo, "I went with the boss lady to try on clothes. We only bought two sets because we were away from home and it would be hard to carry too many. So two sets are enough for changing. When we come back, we'll buy a few more sets."

Zhou Zhiruo wanted to refuse, but Xin Zhen would not allow her to refuse. He turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Prepare two sets of blue tunics for me, and also complete sets of inner and outer shoes and socks."

The shopkeeper was even more delighted, and quickly told the clerk to hurry up and get everything ready. After a while, Xin Zhen changed into the green long gown, and the shopkeeper praised him, "This long gown is perfect for you, young master. You have an upright figure and handsome appearance, and this long gown with wide sleeves makes you look even more handsome and elegant. You were born to wear this long gown.

You were born in a good era. In the past, it would have been difficult for us Han people to wear this kind of shirt. But in recent years, more and more people are wearing it, and the government doesn’t care much about it. "

Xin Zhen was used to wearing a long shirt and had not thought much about it. But when the shopkeeper reminded him of this, he remembered that this was the era of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

But there was no sadness in his heart. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a sword and waiting to overthrow the Mongols and drive them back to the northern desert.

At this time, he heard light footsteps coming from the inner room. Xin Zhen looked back and saw a young girl wearing light green clothes. She had a pretty and elegant face and a very beautiful appearance. Xin Zhen wondered why there was another girl inside, but when he looked carefully, he realized it was not Zhou Zhiruo, so who else could it be? He was immediately surprised.

It’s not that I don’t know that Zhou Zhiruo is very beautiful, but before, she was either dressed in rags or in boys’ clothes. Only now that she is wearing girls’ clothes does her beauty truly show up.

Zhou Zhiruo was a little shy to begin with. Seeing Xin Zhen was slightly stunned, she was secretly happy in her heart. She lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Xin."

Xin Zhen came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It fits me very well and is very beautiful. Shopkeeper, this is it. Does the other one also fit me?"

Zhou Zhiruo was even happier when she heard Xin Zhen's praise, and nodded, "It fits me well."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Very good, shopkeeper, pack up and pay."

The shopkeeper quickly packed up the clothes and paid the bill, then quoted the price to Xin Zhen: "Young man, the total is twenty taels and eighty-nine coins. Just round it up, twenty taels will do."

Xin Zhen then took out the silver to pay the bill. Zhou Zhiruo looked a little anxious, but she didn't say much. When she got outside, she said to Xin Zhen, "Brother Xin, when we came out, Mr. Hu gave us 50 taels of silver. We have already spent 20 taels of silver, and we still have to make weapons. So we may have to be very frugal from now on."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. There will be a way out when you get to the mountain. Let's go. We have been traveling for such a long time and we are hungry and tired. Let's find a place to stay first and then have a good meal!"
