Chapter 44: A Shadow II

"Then it's the martial arts hall where the Eight Classics are opened and apprenticed. The second choice of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is a famous master from the Central Plains, Li Ran, who is in charge of the broken soul. Lu Sheng inquired about this person carefully, and was injured by the enemy in the Central Plains, and was forced to come to Yanshan City with his wife and children, which can be regarded as incognito and away from right and wrong.

"Even if he is injured, he can still make a name for himself in the mountain city, and his subordinates are definitely not ordinary. And the palm technique is the same as mine, so you can see it. ”

"In addition, in terms of hard work, there are two people, the tumbler Chen Jia, and the bronze pillar Yang Furui. "Lu Sheng personally went to see the martial arts dojo opened by these two people, the tumbler is already in his seventies, and the things taught are just ordinary ordinary kung fu. As long as you pay the tuition, you can learn the basic hard skills and quench the iron, and then look at the performance, and have the opportunity to be selected as a personal student to teach the copper pillar skills.

"It's too slow for me to enter the martial arts dojo to learn, I just need cheats. As long as you can get started and get the cheats....." He thought about it and decided to look at the auction in the city first, maybe he could find a powerful kung fu like the Black Evil Gong.

Thinking of the auction house, Lu Sheng suddenly touched his waist bag, and his fingers touched the thin silver tickets and gold leaves inside, and he sighed.

"I've got to figure out a way to make money. ”

If it weren't for Wang Ziquan's matter, if he hadn't encountered the Red Mansion Painting Boat again, he wouldn't have wanted to be in such a hurry, and he wouldn't have been so anxious 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 avenue. He decided to go and meet the famous master of the Central Plains first, Li Ran, who was in charge of the Broken Soul.

Stopping a carriage, Lu Sheng took the carriage around the city for a cup of tea, and then arrived at a remote neighborhood.

At the end of the block, there is a quaint mansion with a peach 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 gate was open, and it was the time of day for anyone to visit the dojo.

The crowd was noisy, and Lu Sheng squeezed in the middle and followed into the mansion, and saw a big red pillar square ring inside.

There is a middle-aged man with a white beard on the platform, who is playing a set of chain palm techniques, and there is a faint whistling in the air from time to time.

"Good!"

hit the wonderful place, and the crowds below were surging, and they all applauded.

Lu Sheng fixed his eyes on the stage.

"This is the level of the Central Plains masters?"

He was a little suspicious of his eyes, this man's palm skills were not bad, his speed and accuracy were good, but there was a slight lag in the joint. And there is a clear lack of strength, weakness and powerlessness. The sound of breaking the air is also a gimmick made up for by skill.

The most speechless thing was that Lu Sheng also heard someone on the side say:

"Yesterday, Grandmaster Li set up the ring, please fight with all the fellow people along the rivers and lakes of the mountain city, and even the second commander of the Fei Lian Army was alarmed, and came to have a few moves with Grandmaster Li. You don't know!

In less than thirty moves, the second commander was slapped on the chest, took a few steps back, and clenched his fists to admit defeat!"

"Awesome! worthy of being a famous master of the Central Plains!

"What is this, Grandmaster Li has also defeated the owner of the Bronze Pillar Dojo before, the Crazy Lion Dojo, the Yunshui Dojo, and the Jiuqu Qiankun Dojo...."The other couldn't help but show off. "I've seen it all. No one can survive fifty moves under Grandmaster Li!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of admiration all around.

Lu Sheng could hear that it was not perfunctory and supportive, but real admiration and admiration.

He carefully looked at Li Ran who was practicing in the stands, and at this time someone had already come to the stage to challenge. Maybe it's not a challenge, it's an attempt.

The young man who came to the stage was sturdy, but he respected Li Ran very much, and said that he was asking Grandmaster Li for advice.

The two soon fought.

After only a few glances, Lu Sheng understood why this 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 only woke up at this time. Because he has no reference and does not fight against other masters, he has been hiding his strength and practicing silently, and even what level of his strength has reached can only rely on guessing.

"Now it seems..... This Li Ran, I can solve it within three moves. Lu Sheng shook his head slightly, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, not looking at it again.

"That Broken Soul Palm is also stronger than the power of my Heart-Breaking Palm, no need to use internal force to urge luck, maybe he can fight with me, once he uses internal qi...."Lu Sheng thought about it, maybe the three moves were overestimating the other party.

With one move, he can kill this person on the spot.

The difference between his use of internal qi and his non-use of internal qi is several times the difference in power.

"I'm not looking for this kind of so-called master. Lu Sheng left the Aoki Dojo all the way, originally he still wanted to go to the Tongzhu Dojo, but it was getting late, so he went home to rest first.

On the second day, Lu Sheng went to the Tongzhu Dojo and several other dojos.

That hard performance, he did see it. The rumored bronze pillar can bend a spear against its throat. Looks really good. But Lu Sheng has seen such hard skills before, but it is just hard qigong. Practicing the Fa is very simple, that is, it requires hardship and perseverance.

Moreover, the hard practice of the copper pillar requires a large amount of medicinal materials to be practiced, otherwise it will leave a lot of sequelae of dark injuries. Several hard gong dojos are quite generous to the exercises, and they have directly announced them, but the prescriptions for the practice are not mentioned at all.

Lu Sheng took a closer look, and only after joining the dojo could he enjoy the medicinal herb training.

He was disappointed in his heart, without the prescription for purifying the exercises, even if he practiced, he would end up injured, although the modifier practice method is not necessarily the same as the practice method of ordinary people, but he didn't want to waste time trying, a breakthrough in the third layer of the Black Evil Gong made him recuperate for half a year of internal injuries, if he did it again, then he would not be able to move for several years?

After leaving the dojo, most of the day passed.

Lu Sheng didn't gain much, and in disappointment, he went to a famous ghost market street along the mountain city.

The ghost market along the mountain town is a place that specializes in selling all kinds of burial goods, resale goods, stolen goods, or some stolen goods and tricky things.

Lu Sheng sorted out all the belongings on his body, as well as a total of two thousand taels worth of silver tickets and gold leaves. And the dividends of the shop under his name that sells the four treasures of the study room are only a few dozen taels a month, which is a drop in the bucket for him.

"Finally shop around and see if you can find something good. The reason why he ran here was that he always heard Zheng Xiangui say that many of the good things they auctioned were turned out of the ghost market.

Since then, he has often come to the ghost market along the mountain town to try his luck.

There are not many people in the ghost market, just a dozen stalls, crammed into a narrow alley.

Lu Sheng walked all the way down the alley, squatting down from time to time to reach out and touch the things on the stall.

After shopping for a while, he still didn't get anything, and was about to turn around and go back to practice internal qi. Suddenly, at the other end of the alley, a slightly hesitant male voice came from the face.

"Are you..... Lusheng... Lu Yuesheng?"

Lu Sheng looked up, and the person opposite was a young man, wearing a yellow shirt, wearing topaz at his waist, and his posture was tall, although he didn't know the other party, he recognized the person's identity at a glance.

"You are.... Chen Yunxi's brother, Chen Jiaorong?"

Chen Jiaorongjun's face was stunned, and then he smiled.

"Brother Lu is really wise. ”

"It's not that I'm as wise as a torch, it's that you and Sister Ling look too similar....." Lu Sheng shook his head and said.

Chen Jiaorong's face is only more masculine than Chen Yunxi's. The two do look alike.

"Since you met Brother Lu here, why don't you go and sit together?" Zhenguo often mentions Brother Lu here. Chen Jiaorong smiled and proposed.

Lu Sheng made up his mind and nodded in response.

The two went out of the ghost market, found a wine shop on the side, and sat down to drink.

There are people coming and going in the lobby, and the sound of wine and laughter of guests is endless. But neither of them was affected, just silent for a while.

"I heard Yunxi say that Brother Lu has a noble character, and it was I who underestimated Brother Lu before. After the silence, Chen Jiaorong took the lead in speaking.

He paused, and then said: "Wang Ziquan's matter, the government has already intervened, it is not the case reported by Brother Zhenguo, it is his cousin and family. ”

Lu Sheng took the wine glass, took a slight sip, and let the light and slightly spicy wine flow slowly in his mouth.

"Yunxi's matter, let's not mention it first, what does the government yamen say?"

Chen Jiaorong shook his head: "Zhenguo also asked me to ask, and it was determined that he had fallen into the water and disappeared, and the conclusion of the investigation everywhere was the same." It is said that some people also saw him fall into the Songbai River. There are both human and material evidence. ”

Lu Sheng was silent, raised his head and drank the wine dry.

"So that's it?"

"Yes, what else?" Chen Jiaorong said helplessly, "In fact, there are many people who go missing on the Songbai River every year, and there are not a few people like Wang Ziquan. The government dealt with it in this way, and it was not allowed to spread the word, otherwise it would be convicted and imprisoned. ”

Lu Sheng also understood at this time how the reputation of good security along the mountain city came from.

"My sister, the reason why you don't accept it is because we don't know each other well enough. Chen Jiaorong changed the subject.

"Then Wang Ziquan's matter, is it really just that?" Lu Sheng continued to ask.

"yes, that's it. Chen Jiaorong replied. "The huge Songbai River, is it possible that you still have to dive underwater one by one to find a corpse that may have been eaten by fish?"

Lu Sheng exhaled and sat upright, feeling a little unhappy in his heart. Whether it is the government of Jiulian City or the government of this mountain city, they all show a deliberate inaction. It upset him.

"What's the use of this government?" he blurted out.

Chen Jiaorong was stunned for a moment, and reached out to unconsciously pinch the topaz on his waist.

"yes.... What is the use of this official mansion?"

Both of them were depressed for a while, and they each thought of other things.

There was silence for a while.

Lu Sheng's gaze unconsciously fell on the topaz in Chen Jiaorong's hand, and his eyes moved slightly.

"Brother Chen, can you show me your piece of jade?"

Chen Jiaorong nodded and handed the topaz to Lu Sheng casually. "This is a gift from a friend of mine a while ago. The finest Jiuyuan jade. ”

Lu Sheng took it, and as soon as he got it, he felt a cold aura from the jade rush into his body along the palm of his hand.

The cold breath was exactly the same as when he absorbed the powder before.

"What a thick yin qi!" Lu Sheng's heart was shocked, he named this aura 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 could absorb a lot of it by skin contact without a drop of blood.
