While the few people were talking, Lu Sheng also introduced Zheng Xiangui to Chen Jiaorong, but Chen Jiaorong obviously didn't care much about the Zheng family.
For him, the son of a country landlord in a small marginal city is not even qualified to join his circle around someone like him.
Even Lu Sheng, if it wasn't for his sister bragging about it in his ears every day, he really didn't take this one seriously. Of course it is different now, Lu Sheng saved his life, and he asked many people afterwards, and they all said that they saw the fire on the painting boat, and the flames could be seen after a distance of more than ten miles.
After he knew the inside story, he broke into a cold sweat on the spot, so that he still dare not board any boats, and he has a shadow in his heart.
After Zheng Xiangui knew the other party's identity, he was obviously eager to curry favor with him, which made Zheng Yu'er and Lu Sheng look down on him a bit, but they knew that he was such a person. According to his own words, he is a man who can bend and stretch.
While the few people were talking, Lu Sheng gradually focused on listening, and only occasionally responded. Everyone knew his character, so they didn't care.
While listening, Lu Sheng casually scanned the crowd, and suddenly his eyes fixed. I saw an old beggar huddled in the corner.
This old beggar is a little different from ordinary people. Although it is midsummer, this is Dongshan College, at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. It is cold and humid all year round. Even in midsummer, the ground is cold and humid.
But this old beggar was different from others. There was a ragged padded jacket beside him, but he was only wearing a thin shirt with holes in it. On such a cold ground, the padded jacket was left alone.
Moreover, looking over with Lu Sheng's eyesight, he saw that the beggar's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was chanting something, but he didn't know what he was talking about, and his eyes were dull.
Lu Sheng looked at the beggar carefully, and he suddenly had a strange feeling. As if... as if this beggar resembled him.
"He may be in his sixties or seventies, and his body and appearance are completely different from mine. How could I have such similar thoughts?" Lu Sheng was puzzled. Taking advantage of the time when Chen Jiaorong was interested in Zheng Yuer and started chatting with her, he walked slowly towards the old beggar.
It has always been his style to do as soon as he thinks, without delay.
Walking in front of the beggar, Lu Sheng's shadow covered most of the man's body.
"Old man, it's so cold here and you wear so little, are you hot?"
The old beggar looked up at him, his eyes were cloudy.
"Hot....hot...isn't it hot? is it? is it not? is it..." he began to mutter. Looks a little nervous.
Lu Sheng frowned, shook his head and wanted to walk away.
"You have met a ghost!!" Suddenly the old beggar's voice became louder. "A half-yin body, a half-yin body. I am also a half-yin body. I have encountered many ghosts, and I have been raped... You are the same as me, the same as me... Ha... . Hahaha...." The old beggar started to giggle as he spoke.
"Half-yin body?" Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, stopped and looked at the old beggar carefully.
It can be seen that the clothes and style of this person used to be pretty good. He can be a middle-class family even if he is not a rich man. How could he be reduced to this point
"What is a half-yin body?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice. He was faintly interested.
The old beggar paused, and began to mutter messy things again. After a while, the cloudiness in his eyes faded a little, and he seemed to be a little more awake. He looked at Lu Sheng carefully, and said intermittently.
"You are the same as me... both have a half-yin body... People who were possessed by ghosts when they were young, have encountered ghosts many times, and this is the physique....will die.....call ghosts... . .will die... .."
Lu Sheng couldn't figure it out, but looking at the old beggar, he always felt that he was very similar to himself. This feeling was not about appearance or appearance, but an inner similarity.
Could this be the physique that the old beggar said? Semi-yin constitution
He was puzzled.
"Hehehe..." At this time, the old beggar also smirked, pointing at Lu Sheng and laughing. "Half-yin, attracting ghosts.....Half-yin.....Half-yin...." He began to repeat these two words over and over again.
Lu Sheng looked at him with a frown, and asked a few more questions in succession. The old beggar just repeated the word half-yin, and then said nothing.
clang...!
Admission to the exam has begun.
Lu Sheng had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the gate of the academy.
The exam has officially begun.
Year-old exams, three exams in a row, eating and drinking in the exam room, and not allowed to go out. By the time Lu Sheng came out after the exam, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
Groups of candidates came out from the entrance of the college exhausted physically and mentally.
Lu Sheng still seemed to be in a normal state of mind. As a master of both internal and external training, this consumption naturally had no effect on him.
As soon as he came out, he turned his eyes to where the old beggar was. Sure enough, the person disappeared.
"Semi-yin body..." The word kept echoing in his heart. "If it is the same as what the old beggar said, the so-called semi-yin body is someone who has encountered many ghosts, then I really have this kind of physique."
After thinking about it carefully, maybe I really need to ask someone about this matter.
"People who encounter ghosts a lot, what kind of person is the most likely?" Lu Sheng turned around in his mind, and soon thought of a place.
At this time, Zheng Xiangui and others also came out, all of them were frowning, bitter and bitter, obviously this time the topic was difficult.
The same is true for Chen Jiaorong, who walked out frowning, and Chen Yunxi was with him. When Chen Yunxi saw Lu Sheng, she hid behind her brother with a strange expression, as if she was a little shy.
Lu Sheng stroked his burnt eyebrows and smiled wryly. He hoped that Chen Yunxi would give up on herself because her hair was burned off.
Then Song Zhenguo also came out. Lu Sheng said a few words to Chen Jiaorong's siblings first, and after seeing them off, he went to the city to find a restaurant for dinner with the Zheng family's two siblings and Song Zhenguo.
After a meal in the evening, after Lu Sheng separated from the others, he went straight to a place on the mountain outside the city.
Along the left side of the mountain city, there is a huge undulating mountain range, called the Antler Mountain, named for its shape like antler.
At the foot of the Antler Mountain is the largest cemetery around the entire city, Wanfeng Garden.
Taking advantage of the nightfall, Lu Sheng went straight to Wanfeng Garden and found the grave guard at the gate.
The keeper of the grave was an old man with a lame leg. His clothes were neat but shabby, and his face always had a faint blue color. It was not known whether it was because he often did not see the sun or because of other reasons.
"Half-yin body?" Hearing Lu Sheng's question. The old man shook the wine bag in his hand. He glanced at Lu Sheng up and down, and weighed the big copper coin he just got.
"Little brother, have you encountered unclean things? There is such a saying, but ordinary people are not called half-yin bodies. We call this kind of people who encounter ghosts a lot, called Yang Baozi."
"Yang Baozi?" Lu Sheng repeated, frowning tightly, "Is this really the case?"
The old man looked at Lu Sheng in amazement.
"Of course, to be honest, the old man has lived for so many years and met countless people, Yang Baozi also met a lot, but they all died before living long.
Young master, you should be a talented Yang Baozi. It hasn't been long, and it's not clean before, right? "
Lu Sheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the tomb guard knew a lot. He nodded and said: "Yes, I did encounter something unclean before, and it didn't take long. Dare I ask the old man, will this Yang Baozi cause any trouble?"
"I don't know, but it is said that Yang Baozi attracts ghosts, so they don't live long. Of course, this is just a saying, just listen to it, don't take it seriously, live as you want." The old man waved his hands. "Go back and ask a Taoist mage to do the practice and get rid of the evil. It should be useful."
Ask a mage? Lu Sheng shook his head inwardly. He also went to find some so-called mages in the surrounding temples, but they were all just liars and had no real talents.
If that kind of mage can also catch ghosts, then he can slap countless ghosts to death with a single slap.
"I don't know old man, is there any other way?" Lu Sheng frowned and continued to ask. He wanted to see how ordinary people could find ways to protect themselves without his force.
The cemetery keeper chuckled twice, and looked at Lu Sheng with some gloom.
"Is there a way... .. It's not that there is no way. Seeing that the young master gave you so much money, I will show you the way, old man."
"What enlightenment?"
The gravekeeper smiled, raised his head and took a sip of the low-quality wine, breathing out his mouth full of alcohol.
"In this mountain city, there is a gang of two gangs and three sects. I have a nephew who once joined one of the gangs, that is, the Red Whale Gang. Unfortunately, there was a conflict later and he died. But this gang has remained."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Sheng expectantly, obviously waiting for him to express himself.
Lu Sheng has been in Yanshan City for so long, and this is the first time he heard that there is a gang of two clubs and three sects, but when he heard the name of the Red Whale Gang, his heart was shocked. Isn't this the Red Whale Gang that Duanmu Wan mentioned?
Duanmuwan is mysterious and unpredictable. Since she said that the skills of the Red Whale Gang are the strongest nearby, it is very likely that she is right. What he lacks now is not a skill, but a powerful enough skill. Ordinary internal and martial arts are not very helpful to him now.
At his current level, the only way to find a strong skill is to replace the Heisha skill. In this way, he can directly improve his realm and increase his strength without the need for Yin Qi.
After all, there are only a few layers of Heisha Gong, and Yin Qi... It seems that if you absorb too much, there will be side effects.
"But old man, I've been here in Yanshan City for so long, why haven't I heard of the name of the Red Whale Gang? Are you bluffing me?" Lu Sheng asked back.
The cemetery keeper grinned.
"They are all gangsters. What does gangster mean? A place that ordinary people can't see is called black. In this mountain city, there are big and small gambling houses, brothels, black market ghost markets, every street and every district, there are their shadows, my son. You may not notice it at ordinary times, but ordinary people are different, thieves, robbery, lending interest, collecting protection fees, homicide, fraud,... all messy things are related to them There are relationships."
When Lu Sheng heard it, he immediately understood. This Red Whale Gang is actually an underworld organization. Gangster organization. It's just more hidden.
He thought for a while, and stuffed out another tael of silver as a thank you gift to the old man.
"My lord is on the road!" The old man suddenly smiled. "There are a lot of strong people in this Red Whale Gang. It is said that they are still giants who help the government manage the security of the mountain city. There must be someone in there who has a way to solve the young master's physique."
Lu Sheng didn't care about these, he was thinking of stronger exercises, if the Red Whale Gang could get in, they might be able to get a stronger exercise than Heisha.
