Chapter 418: It's so miserable

Cheng Linfeng looked at Lu Chen with a weak heart, "What master......? What do you mean? I don't understand. ”

Lu Chen smiled faintly, "Your hands are more tender than a woman's face, and you can be a hand model! A big man with such tender hands, he didn't soak in milk when he was a child?"

"......" Cheng Linfeng looked at Lu Chen, his eyes were terrified, Lu Chen's words directly pointed to the biggest secret in his heart, Cheng Linfeng's face turned white, and he muttered, "Big ...... Eldest brother...... What are you talking about...... I'm ...... Born ......"

"Innate?" Lu Chen said with a smile, "Then what are you afraid of?" I really didn't expect to meet the heir of the 'Empty Gate' here, tsk...... How did you get down to stealing cars from scrap yards?"

The empty door used to be a famous sect on the rivers and lakes. As the name suggests, what they are best at is naturally empty-handed! Although the force is average, the skill of theft is first-class, and they have never done a lot of stealing treasures from the homes of dignitaries and nobles before. And the most subtle kung fu of the empty door is in the hands, walking on the street, rubbing shoulders with others, and other people's purses are in their hands.

Disciples who specialize in the practice of "Empty Hands" need to wash their hands with milk and various herbal boiled liquids from an early age, and maintain their hands very well, the purpose of which is to maintain the sensitivity of the nerves in both hands and the swiftness of finger movements.

Just a few decades ago, there were still traces of a large number of empty door activities, and the sliding door locks gradually declined under the official crackdown, but the "smart hands" on the street were repeatedly banned. In particular, they move quickly and covertly, making it difficult for the victim to detect and the perpetrator cannot be found afterwards.

However, in the past ten years, I don't know what the reason is, basically I can't see the heirs of the empty door anymore, although the official knocks out a few theft gangs from time to time, but those are ordinary thieves, and there is no such thing as an empty door at all.

Cheng Linfeng is a member of the "Empty Door", this is the biggest secret in his heart, but he didn't expect that one day it would be exposed in person, and the other party still seemed to be full of care. He was a little confused about Lu Chen's details, and looked at Lu Chen in a daze, "Big brother, who are you?"

Lu Chen sighed lightly, his eyes vicissitudes, "Brother used to be a Jianghu person...... So I still know a lot about things on the rivers and lakes!"

"......" Cheng Linfeng was speechless for a while, the tone of the person in front of him and the expression on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a senior who had experienced a lot of things, but he looked very young.

Lu Chen laughed, patted Cheng Linfeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I won't be too embarrassed for you for a junior like you, but you hit my car and ran away like that, you have to talk to your master about this matter!"

Cheng Linfeng sighed, "My master has already washed his hands in a golden basin, and I don't know where he went." ”

"What about the rest of your sect?"

Cheng Linfeng smiled bitterly, "How can there be any teachers......? Everyone is fetching their own frays!"

Lu Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "There is still such a thing? I have always felt that the Empty Sect should be the kind of sect that can be passed down forever, how can it be dispersed?"

"No money, poor ......"

"You are all empty masters, how can you be poor?"

Cheng Linfeng sighed again, "Now the security measures are too advanced, and it is not easy to pick the lock of the sliding door, and even if you succeed, it will not be worth the cost......"

Lu Chen nodded secretly, if a sect wants to survive, the cost must be not small, and ordinary people's sliding doors and locks can't meet the sect's expenses at all, and they definitely need to steal big households. But it's not easy to steal from those heavily guarded places, especially now, when a lot of targeted advanced equipment is needed, and that's a lot of valuable stuff.

And in these years, everything is about depositing in the bank, many people don't have much cash, and they can't get any benefits when they go in, and people with empty doors will never go to the bank as long as their brains don't get into the water.

"You can go to the corrupt official's house to fight the autumn breeze!" Lu Chen said with a smile.

Cheng Linfeng shook his head, "No, when I was a child, my master and they could still do that, but later, the top was strict, there were not so many corrupt officials, and life was getting worse and worse, and the number of people in our sect was also decreasing, even if there was a goal, it was often overwhelming......"

"That's a problem...... Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Then you won't fall to the point of stealing scrapped cars? Isn't it enough to eat and drink enough to just pick a few pockets on the road?"

Cheng Linfeng looked resentful, "It's not to blame those two bastards surnamed Ma! Look at this road, who still brings cash? I used mobile payment to buy things, touched a few wallets, in addition to discount cards, it is a membership card, even if there is a savings card credit card, but I don't know the password!"

"Then you can steal your phone!" Lu Chen said.

"More than ten years ago, it was okay......," Cheng Linfeng said, "but in recent years, mobile phones have become omnipotent! Everyone walks with mobile phones in their hands, even if they are in their pockets, more than half of them have earphones connected to their ears, how can you let me steal them? Besides, mobile phones are only worth a few dollars? Now that they are being updated so quickly, second-hand mobile phones are unsalable!"

Lu Chen was silent for a while, and sighed sympathetically, "I am very sympathetic to what happened to you...... There is a good saying, 'I will destroy you, it has nothing to do with you', you are mixed like this with empty doors, it is not a competition from peers, nor an official attack, it is purely eliminated by the times!"

"No, I don't agree with that!" Lu Chen's words seemed to prick a certain nerve in Cheng Linfeng, and he said with some excitement, "My master said that we are not eliminated by the times, but we are complacent that such a predicament will occur! As long as we make our own changes, the empty door will still shine!"

"Yo he...... Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Then how does your master think you should change?"

Cheng Linfeng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said loudly: "My master said that the old road of the past is no longer possible! We have to change the direction and take the initiative to integrate into this new era of rapid development! He said that he is old and can't change it anymore, but I am still young, and I can do it!"

"Then what does he want you to do?" Lu Chen asked with some interest.

"My master said......" Cheng Linfeng looked at no one around, lowered his voice and said, "We have no way out offline, we have to learn new technologies, go online, go online!"
