Views:

"Jun'er!!" Song Zhenguo was startled, and he hugged Jun'er anxiously. "What's wrong with you? What's going on!? What's going on??"

Jun'er was hugged tightly by him, with a helpless smile on his face.

"Brother Song....I....I...."

Lu Sheng was on the side, in fact, he had already guessed that Jun'er might not be human, but he didn't expect it to be so.

Perhaps the girls on that ship were not human beings, but women who had long since died. It's just being bound to the boat by some special force, seeking some kind of purpose with beauty.

He didn't bother the two of them, but walked away silently, guarding Chen Jiaorong in the open space, adjusting his breath to recover from his injuries.

Every time he performed the Black Tiger Jade Crane Kung Fu, he could feel a tingle from the injury on his body. This is the feeling of blood and muscle healing.

After about a stick of incense, Song Zhenguo walked over with red eyes, and Jun'er was nowhere to be seen.

"Let's go, we're going back..." He opened his eyes and said in a low voice. Throat is also a little hoarse.

Lu Sheng knew the ending, then the gentleman must be related to the ghost ship Red House, the ship was destroyed and people died, Song Zhenguo may have understood the reason.

The two silently carried Chen Jiaorong on their backs and rushed towards Yanshan City. Song Zhenguo didn't speak a word, and Lu Sheng didn't make a sound. Song Zhenguo didn't speak until he was approaching the gate of Yanshan City.

"Brother Lu, can I also learn martial arts from you?" His eyes were full of pleading and grief, obviously Jun'er's death hit him hard.

Lu Sheng stood still, looked at him, and sighed.

"Behind Jun'er, there must be a powerful force. Otherwise, the Yamen along the mountain city would not allow the ghost boats in the Red Chamber to harm people on the river. In fact, they don't harm people very much on weekdays. Maybe it's just a way of hiding. Only occasionally Need to be hands on."

Song Zhenguo shook his head and smiled wryly: "I know what you said, Jun'er's hatred, in the final analysis, was the work of that white skirt female ghost, who has been killed by Brother Lu, so there is no problem. I just... just I don't want to repeat such a thing in the future... ”

Lu Sheng looked at him, seeing deep powerlessness and pain in his eyes.

"You have to know that ordinary martial arts in the world can be learned by paying money, but unique martial arts cannot be taught casually."

Song Zhenguo's eyes were firm. "What conditions do you need, Brother Lu is willing to teach me? Do you want to be a teacher? No problem!"

"No... don't worry, I'm not sure whether you have the qualifications to practice martial arts. You have to test it first." Lu Sheng is also a monk who practiced martial arts half-heartedly. He didn't have his own test method for qualifications. Let him try first.

And unique martial arts should not be passed on lightly, this is also a common rule here, he does not want to break this rule. To put it bluntly, most of the unique martial arts are developed by the creators themselves through painstaking research and testing. They spent a lot of effort and energy, and some even created martial arts at the expense of their own health and disabilities.

Who wants to teach such a product to outsiders for no reason? This is the same as those wealthy businessmen who have worked so hard to create a family property for most of their lives, and want him to pass it on to outsiders casually, is it possible

This is the truth of what many masters call family-inherited martial arts. If it is not passed on to outsiders, it will naturally only be passed down through the family.

Lu Sheng has also heard that some people casually pass on martial arts to others. This kind of martial arts is often too easy to get and not cherished enough.

But he doesn't care about this, there is a modifier, no matter who it is, it is useless to compare the cultivation speed with him. With the same skill, he can reach the peak countless times faster than ordinary people.

So what Lu Sheng was worried about was not this, but he was worried about revealing the truth. Once outsiders knew that his martial arts were created by deriving different martial arts, it might be extremely eye-catching.

This is not in line with his plan to make a fortune silently and quietly improve his strength.

"Well, let's test it first, and then I'll decide whether to pass on your martial arts." Lu Sheng planned to take a look first, and if Song Zhenguo was really talented, he would pass on basic kung fu to him first.

"good!"

Song Zhenguo also knows that there will be a process of testing when passing on the skills. In some strange novels, knights often follow this rule.

The two brought Chen Jiaorong into the city one after the other. Immediately, the owner of the garment shop at the gate of the city saw Chen Jiaorong and rushed to report the news.

Lu Sheng's face was inconvenient for people to see, so he asked Song Zhenguo to take Chen Jiaorong to Chen's house to explain, while he left quietly and returned home.

Walking along the street along the way, people everywhere looked at him with strange eyes. Many children even chased his ass to watch the excitement.

Lu Sheng had no choice but to speed up. When he reached the door of the house, he touched his body, and found that the keys and money bag were burned.

"This is a big loss... All the bank notes are in it..." Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was about to suffer.

Boom boom boom.

He had no choice but to knock on the door.

"Here we come!" Xiao Qiao's footsteps ran over quickly, "Who is it?"

"It's me." Lu Sheng replied, "I lost the key, open the door, Xiaoqiao."

Hearing his voice, Xiao Qiao quickly opened the door.

The door opened slowly, revealing a small, delicate and cute face, and she looked up with a smile.

Seeing Lu Sheng for the first time, the little girl froze for a moment, then opened her eyes wide.

"You you you you....!!!" Then she rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Lu Sheng was speechless, seeing the disturbed voices from the shop below, he hurried into the room, picked up Xiaoqiao and put him on the bed inside. I went to boil water to prepare wooden barrels.

After a lot of work, he washed his body smokyly and dyed the buckets of water black. Lu Sheng got up and wiped his body again until the towels were stained gray-black before washing. clean.

After he finished washing and getting dressed, Qiaoer also woke up after a while. When Xiaoqiao saw him, she opened her eyes wide, and after careful identification, she realized that he was the young master Lu Sheng whom she served on weekdays. .

Lu Sheng explained it well, saying that his clothes were burned by the fire, but fortunately the injuries were not serious. Qiao'er rushed to invite a doctor, besides the money Kailu Sheng had on her, the family also saved dozens of taels of silver for small daily expenses, which was enough for the doctor.

Seeing the burns all over Lu Sheng's body, Qiao Er asked the doctor to slowly apply the medicine. With tears in her eyes, Qiaoer sat on the side, wanting to touch her, but worried about hurting Lu Sheng.

After taking the medicine for the burns all over his body, Lu Sheng began to rest at home, not even going to school.

After only half a month of recuperation, most of his injuries healed, but his skin seemed to have lost the previous hair.

The strange thing is that there are no burn scars on his skin, but all the hair has been burned off, turning into a bald head with no hair, no eyebrows, not even a beard. bare.

After staying at home for a while, it was time for the annual examination.

After Song Zhenguo went back, there was no news, and he didn't know what he was doing. After Chen Jiaorong went back and found out about the situation, he just sent a letter to thank Lu Sheng for his kindness, but the letter did not mention anything about the ghost ship in the Red Chamber, probably Song Zhenguo didn't tell him. Maybe he didn't necessarily believe it.

It was mentioned in the letter that he was grounded and went to enjoy a boat privately. Although it was not a bad thing, it was not a righteous thing after all, and he would not be on the stage. And this time, he was made a big fuss, almost burned to death, which immediately angered the old father at home and ordered him not to go out.

Chen Yunxi came to the door in person, came over to thank Lu Sheng, and gave a pair of white jade unicorns as a thank you gift. And on behalf of his father, the Patriarch of the Chen family, he was invited to visit him when he had time to recover from his injuries.

It's just that when she came to see Lu Sheng's burnt hair, Chen Yunxi was also taken aback, but she thought it was funny, and she covered her mouth because she was worried and distressed, and it was funny. I didn't go back until late afternoon.

After Lu Sheng stayed at home to recuperate for a while, when his body gradually recovered, he also planned to find a way to test his current strength. He was very concerned about the explosion of the last move on the painting boat before.

But before that, a person who appeared unexpectedly disrupted his arrangement slightly.

... ... ... ... ...

Next to the Zongbing Mansion along the mountain city, there is a drunken teahouse.

On the three-story steeple-roofed black tea building, Lu Sheng and a pretty woman in black gauze sat opposite each other in a single room on the highest floor.

Refreshments such as melon seeds, chicken feet, fruits and nuts were placed on the table between the two of them. A large vermilion pot was quietly placed in the middle of the table, and the spout was still steaming. Two cups were placed in front of each person, one half filled with green tea.

Lu Sheng reached out and picked up a dried fig, and gently put it in his mouth, but his eyes were calmly looking at the woman opposite.

"Is this the first time we've met?"

Duanmuwan smiled, her face was a little tired. "I passed by here by chance and came to meet a... well... Maybe it's a friend. I didn't expect to meet you on the street."

When she was riding a horse and crossing the street, she saw Lu Sheng come out for breakfast. After the two met, Lu Sheng proposed to sit together. For some reason, she agreed to Lu Sheng's proposal to drink tea in a restaurant.

"Miss Duanmu, did you go to find that heavy treasure before?" The reason why Lu Sheng was able to learn about the inside story of the major event that happened in Jiulian City was because of Duanmu Wan's telling, so he also hoped to know more about it from this mysterious woman. news intelligence. Especially about the world she's in.

"Yeah. There are many people who are looking for that thing." Duanmuwan could see that she was really tired. She was also dressed in black gauze, and there was a coat hanging on the coat rack next to her. Her big black hat. On the street, if it wasn't for Lu Sheng looking up from the bottom, he really wouldn't be able to tell that she was Duanmu Wan.

Lu Sheng glanced at her hand. The slender white hands, the cuffs and forearm clothes were scratched, and there were some dried blood stains. Her trouser legs were also stained with some fine yellow mud spots, which were obviously splashed when she hurried on the road. There are also dark circles under the eyes that appear slightly on her face, indicating that she has not rested well.

"It's really tiring." Lu Sheng sighed.

Duanmu Wan nodded and sighed, completely lost the calm and seductive look she had when she first met Lu Sheng.

"Some people always think that they have the chance to win, and they don't listen to anything, and they only think that they are right. No matter how many proofs you find, it is useless to tell him that it is wrong... .. You said, is such a person annoying?"

Lu Sheng was silent for a while.

"It's disgusting."
