"Then it's the martial arts gym where Zheng'er Eight Classics opened to teach students. The second choice is the famous master from the Central Plains, Li Ran, the Broken Soul Palm." Lu Sheng inquired about this person carefully. As a last resort, I brought my wife and children to Yanshan City, keeping my name and staying away from right and wrong.
"Even if he is injured, he can still make a name for himself in Yanshan City. His subordinates must be extraordinary. And the palm technique is the same as mine, you can take a look."
"In addition, in terms of hard skills, there are two people, the tumbler Chen Jia, and the copper pillar Yang Furui." Lu Sheng has personally visited the martial arts gym opened by these two people. The tumbler is already in his seventies, and the things he teaches are just ordinary. Ordinary effort. But Tong Zhu Yang Furui is much more generous. As long as he pays the tuition fee, he can learn the basic hard and iron-hardening skills. Afterwards, depending on his performance, he has the opportunity to be selected as a personal student by his side to teach Tong Zhu Gong.
"It's too slow for me to enter the martial arts dojo to study. I just need the cheats. As long as I can get started and get the cheats..." He thought for a while and decided to look for the auction in the city first. , Maybe you can find a powerful kung fu like Heisha Gong.
Thinking of the auction house, Lu Sheng suddenly touched his pocket, and when his fingers touched a few thin silver notes and gold leaves inside, he let out a long sigh.
"I have to figure out a way to make money."
If it wasn't for Wang Ziquan's business, if he hadn't met the Red Mansion Painting Boat again, he wouldn't be in such a hurry, and he wouldn't be in such a hurry to improve his strength.
After packing up his things and clothes, Lu Sheng ran all the way back to the official road along the mountain city, and entered the city along the road. He decided to meet the famous Central Plains master first, Soul Broken Palm Li Ran.
After stopping a carriage, Lu Sheng let the carriage lead him around the city for a cup of tea, and then arrived at a remote neighborhood.
At the end of the block, there is an antique mansion house with a mahogany plaque. This is the famous Aoki Dojo. That is, the Martial Arts Field opened by Li Ran, the Broken Soul Palm.
It just so happened that the door was open, and it was the time for anyone to visit the dojo every day.
The crowd was noisy, Lu Sheng squeezed in the middle and followed into the mansion, and saw a big square ring with red pillars inside.
On the stage was a middle-aged man with a gray beard, who was doing a set of chain palms, vigorously, and there was a faint whistling through the air from time to time.
"good!"
When the exciting part was hit, crowds of people gathered below, applauding one after another.
Lu Sheng looked intently at the stage.
"Is this the level of the Central Plains masters?"
He doubted his eyes a little, this man's palm technique is not bad, the speed and accuracy are not bad, but there is a slight delay between the connection. And obviously lack of strength, weak and weak. The sound of breaking through the air was also a gimmick made up by skill.
The most speechless thing was that Lu Sheng heard someone beside him saying:
"Yesterday, Grandmaster Li set up the ring, and invited all his comrades along the mountain city to fight for the victory. Even the second commander of Fei Lian's army was alarmed, and came to fight Grandmaster Li for a few tricks. You don't know!
In less than thirty strokes, the second commander was slapped on the chest with a palm, retreated a few steps, and gave up! "
"Amazing! As expected of a famous Central Plains master! Really extraordinary!"
"What is this? Grandmaster Li has also defeated the owners of the Copper Pillar Dojo, the Wild Lion Dojo, the Yunshui Dojo, and the Jiuqu Qiankun Dojo..." Another person couldn't help showing off. "I've watched every scene. No one can survive fifty moves under Master Li's hands!"
Suddenly there was a burst of admiration around.
Lu Sheng could tell that it was not a perfunctory excuse, but genuine admiration.
He carefully looked at Li Ran who was rehearsing in the stands. At this time, someone was already on stage to challenge. Perhaps it should not be called a challenge, but an attempt.
The young man who came on stage was strong and strong, but he respected Li Ran very much, and he said that he was asking Li Zongshi for advice.
The two quickly fought vigorously.
After just a few glances, Lu Sheng understood why Li Ran was so respected.
"It turns out that Li Ran's strength and speed are already incredible for ordinary people..." Seeing the young man's posture later, Lu Sheng finally came to his senses. Because he has no reference and does not fight against other masters, he has been hiding his strength and practicing silently, so that he can only guess at what level his strength has reached.
"Now it seems... Li Ran, I can solve it within three moves." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd without looking any further.
"The Broken Soul Palm is more powerful than my Broken Heart Palm Dacheng. It doesn't need internal force to push luck. Maybe he can fight me. Once he uses his internal energy..." Lu Sheng thought for a while, maybe three moves Both are overestimating each other.
With one move, he can kill this person on the spot.
The difference between using the inner energy and not using the inner energy is several times the difference in power.
"What I'm looking for is not such a so-called master." Lu Sheng left the Qingmu Dojo all the way, originally he wanted to go to the Copper Pillar Dojo, but it was getting late, so he went home to rest first.
On the second day, Lu Sheng went to Tongzhu Dojo and several other dojos.
He did see that hard work performance. The rumored copper pillar can bend a spear with its throat. It does look good. But Lu Sheng has seen this kind of hard work before, but it's just hard qigong. The simple answer to the practice method is that it requires hardship and persistence.
Moreover, the hard work of the copper pillar requires a lot of medicinal materials to be refined, otherwise it will leave a lot of dark sequelae. Several hard-working dojos are quite generous about the exercises, and they directly announced them, but they didn't mention a word about the refined prescriptions.
Lu Sheng carefully understood that only after joining the dojo can he enjoy the training of medicinal materials.
He was disappointed in his heart, without the refining prescription, even if he practiced it, he would be injured all over his body. Although the training method of the modifier is not necessarily the same as that of ordinary people, he does not want to waste time trying. The internal injury that made him suffer for half a year, if it happened again, would he be unable to move for several years
After leaving the dojo, more than half of the day has passed.
Lu Sheng had nothing to gain, so disappointed, he stopped by the famous ghost market street in Yanshan City.
The ghost market along the mountain city is a place dedicated to selling all kinds of tomb goods, reselling goods, stolen goods, or some stolen and tricky things.
Lu Sheng sorted out all his belongings, including silver notes and gold leaves worth two thousand taels. And the dividends of the shop under his name that sells the four treasures of the study are only a few dozen taels a month, which is a drop in the bucket for him.
"Finally, go shopping and see if you can find any good items." The reason why he ran here was because Zheng Xiangui always heard that many of the good things they auctioned were dug out from the ghost market.
Since then, he has often come to wander around the ghost market along the mountain city, thinking about trying his luck.
There are not many people in the ghost market, just a dozen stalls, crowded in a narrow alley.
Lu Sheng walked all the way along the alley, occasionally squatting down and reaching out to touch things on the stalls.
After wandering around for a while, he still didn't gain anything, and was about to turn around and go back to practice inner qi. Suddenly, a slightly hesitant male voice came from the other end of the alley.
"Are you... Lu Sheng... Lu Yuesheng?"
Lu Sheng raised his head and saw that the person opposite was a young gentleman, wearing a yellow shirt, topaz on his waist, and tall and straight. Although he didn't know him, he recognized his identity at a glance.
"Are you... Chen Yunxi's elder brother? Chen Jiaorong?"
Chen Jiao Rongjun was startled, then smiled.
"Brother Lu really has sharp eyes."
"It's not that I have sharp eyes, it's that you and Lingmei look too much alike..." Lu Sheng shook his head.
Compared with Chen Yunxi's, Chen Jiaorong's face was only a bit more masculine. The two do look alike.
"Since I met Brother Lu here, why don't we go and sit together? Zhenguo often mentions Brother Lu to me." Chen Jiaorong suggested with a smile.
Lu Sheng made up his mind and nodded in response.
The two left the ghost market, found a wine shop on the side, and sat down to drink.
There are people coming and going in the lobby, the sound of the waiter serving wine, and the chatter and laughter of the guests. But neither of them was affected, just silent for a while.
"I heard from Yunxi that Brother Lu has a noble character. I underestimated Brother Lu earlier." After silence, Chen Jiaorong spoke first.
He paused, and then said: "The government has already intervened in Wang Ziquan's matter. It wasn't brother Zhen Guo who reported the case, but his cousin and family."
Holding the wine glass, Lu Sheng took a sip, letting the light and slightly spicy wine flow slowly in his mouth.
"Let's not mention Yunxi's matter, what does the government office say?"
Chen Jiaorong shook his head: "Zhen Guo also asked me to ask. It is customary that he fell into the water and disappeared. The conclusion of the arrest and investigation is the same. It is said that someone saw him fall into the Songbai River with his own eyes. There are all witnesses and material evidence."
Lu Sheng didn't make a sound, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Then that's the end of the matter?"
"Yeah, what else can I do?" Chen Jiaorong said helplessly, "In fact, there are quite a few people who disappear on the Songbai River every year, and there are not a few people like Wang Ziquan. The government always handles it like this, and they don't allow it to spread. Otherwise, you will be convicted and imprisoned.”
At this time, Lu Sheng also understood how Yanshan City's reputation for good law and order came from.
"My sister, the reason why you don't accept it is because you don't know each other well enough." Chen Jiaorong changed the subject.
"Then what about Wang Ziquan, is that the end?" Lu Sheng continued to ask.
"Yes, let's forget it." Chen Jiaorong replied. "In the huge Songbai River, is it possible that you have to dive into the water one by one to find a corpse that may have been eaten by fish?"
Lu Sheng exhaled, sat upright, feeling a little uncomfortable. Whether it is the government of Jiulian City or the government of Yanshan City, they all showed a deliberate inaction. It upset him.
"Then what's the use of this government?" He blurted out a sentence.
Chen Jiaorong was taken aback for a moment, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to pinch Huang Yu at his waist.
"Yes. What is the use of this government?"
Both of them were depressed for a while, and each thought of other things.
There was a moment of silence.
Lu Sheng's eyes fell on the topaz in Chen Jiaorong's hand unconsciously, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Brother Chen, can you show me your piece of jade?"
Chen Jiaorong nodded, and handed Huang Yu to Lu Sheng casually. "This is a gift from a close friend of mine a while ago. The best Jiuyuan jade."
Lu Sheng took it, and as soon as he got it, he felt a cold breath rushing into his body along the palm of his hand.
The icy breath was actually exactly the same as when he absorbed the powder before.
"What a strong Yin Qi!" Lu Sheng's heart shook, he named this breath Yin Qi, and the Yin Qi in this piece of jade was much stronger than the powder he had absorbed before, so much so that he It can absorb a lot by skin contact without dripping blood.
