Chapter 43: A Shadow I

Squeak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Closing the door, Song Zhenguo walked to the windowsill and happened to see a black pigeon with pink and white eyes, squatting on his window lattice, combing his feathers.

Seeing this, he quickly walked over and grabbed the pigeon, and gently removed a small paper tube from its leg.

Unfolded the paper tube, and there was a line of Juanxiu small characters clearly written on it: 'Brother Song, Jun'er will help you ask about that prince's matter.'

In addition, it will be the Smoked Satin Festival in a while, can Brother Song promise Jun'er, at that time, you must not come to the painting boat, you must not come!'

Song Zhenguo was stunned for a moment and continued to watch.

'Boat girls, they will use the name of the girls that day to make gimmicks everywhere to deceive people, and there are some arrangements that are not good for Brother Song. Promise me that Jun'er will take care of everything, and after this Smoked Satin Festival, Jun'er will promise to go home with Brother Song.....

After reading the content of the unfolded paper scroll, Song Zhenguo's face suddenly showed a strong joy.

"Brother Song promises you, I will not give them a chance!" Although he was a little puzzled, after all, the reason here was a bit far-fetched, but out of trust in Jun'er, he did not suspect anything.

Song Zhenguo quickly found a piece of paper, wrote what he wanted to say, and then rolled it into a cylinder and tied it to the leg of the black pigeon. Holding the black dove with both hands and throwing it out, the pigeon fluttered and flew away.

The pigeon fluttered its wings and flew out of the Song family's compound, gently skimming between the vermilion bricks, crossing the tofu-like streets, crossing the black roofs of pavilions of different heights, and soon arrived at the Songbai River, heading towards a red painting boat.

The black dove fluttered its wings and stopped in front of a wing window on the painting boat, gently held by a slender plain hand.

Jun'er quickly took off the paper roll tied to the black pigeon's feet, looked left and right, and hurriedly released it.

"Go, go back to the nest. She said softly.

The black dove flapped its wings and flew out, quickly disappearing at the edge of the window.

Jun'er closed the window, gently unfolded the paper roll and looked at it. A hint of tenderness suddenly appeared on his face. Hurriedly roll the paper on the candle flame and light it.

She held it in her hand, waited for the paper roll to burn and only a little corner remained, then gently opened the window crack and threw it out, letting it float into the Songbai River.

Squeak ....

Suddenly, the door opened automatically, as if someone was pushing the door from outside, Jun'er was so frightened that she turned around suddenly, and pressed her chest in shock, staring at the door.

Calming down, she walked over, looked left and right, didn't find any movement, and stuck her head out to look in the corridor outside.

This is the dressing room under the cabin, because of Song Zhenguo, she now has her own independent dressing room, and there is no one around, and the other sisters have gone up to receive guests.

The hallway was empty, and there was no one.

Jun'er breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head back to the room, locked the door, and added a bolt.

She sat down at the dresser, picked up the comb, and gently brushed her hair. Whenever she is in a mood swing, combing her hair always calms her down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she picked up the comb, her color suddenly changed.

I saw a line of words written on the wooden table under the comb with a black eyebrow pencil.

'The Smoked Satin Festival must be done, don't forget who you are. ’

Jun'er bit her lower lip, and a look of struggle appeared in her eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she wrote a 'yes' with her eyebrow pencil and then reached out to erase the handwriting, leaving only a black smudge.

Looking up again, she looked at her own blurred face in the bronze mirror, and was a little stupid for a while.

She knew it was a warning, a warning to her not to do anything extra, but luckily the contents of the paper were not discovered.

"It's a pity..... I can't stay with Brother Song anymore...."A trace of regret and determination flashed in her beautiful eyes.

The master is to collect the people who are born in the lunar month, and also to collect the people who are in the lunar year and the lunar month. And Song Zhenguo is one of the goals, in order to get people, all unexpected preparations have been made. Wait until she asks him to come on the day of the Feast of Smoked Satin.

But unconsciously, she slowly fell in love with the upright and bold Song Zhenguo, worshipped, admired, and wanted to rely on and rely on.....

"Brother Song.... Jun'er is so tired.... I'm so tired...."Jun'er gently touched her cheek, and a tear slipped silently down the corner of her eye.

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

In a small canyon outside the city.

Boom!!

Lu Sheng turned around and slapped his palm, and smashed the thick stones behind him into pieces, and the arm-long stones were torn apart and scattered on the ground.

Bang bang bang!!

Lu Sheng turned around quickly again, and slammed the remaining stones hanging around him into pieces one by one.

The gray stone powder slowly dispersed, and it was a little choking.

Lu Sheng slowly closed his efforts, closed his palms, and stood still.

"My knife skills are enough, what is still lacking is light footwork, and there are also distant hidden weapons that need to be made up, otherwise if the distance is far away, it will be troublesome to encounter a kite hanging type opponent. Lu Sheng slowly calmed down his internal strength, pondering in his heart.

"In addition, the Jade Crane Gong absorbed the strength of the Black Tiger Knife and obtained a qualitative change. But this ascension is based on the powder left behind by the ghost.

The fusion process and details in the middle, if I rely on myself, it will require too much work experience and exploration, which is similar to the difficulty of creating martial arts, and it is impossible to complete it alone. ”

After himself, he tried to make breakthroughs in other internal and external skills, but unfortunately it didn't work, and he ended up with injuries to the body meridians several times. And in repeated attempts, the results were completely different from what he expected.

"If you don't have enough experience in martial arts, it seems that you can't break through the limitations of the exercises by yourself. Lu Sheng knew it in his heart. "The Jade Crane function absorbs the strength of the Black Tiger Knife to produce a benign transformation, which seems simple, but in fact it should be the best result that has been simulated countless times in advance. If I want to continue to improve my martial arts, I must find more similar things left by ghosts. ”

After finishing the work, Lu Sheng walked to the trunk of the big tree, took off his coat, towel and other things that were hanging, and wiped the sweat on his body with a towel.

"It's time to test the power of the third layer of the Black Demon Skill. "He hasn't been doing it with all his might, trying how strong the third layer of the Black Demon Gong is, and now that his body is healed, it's time to try it.

Looking at the big tree in front of him, Lu Sheng on a whim, he used all his strength to drum up his internal qi, poured into his right hand, and slapped it hard.

Boom!!

The sound was the same as before, and the power was not much greater. After all, the increase in the Black Demon Gong is not mainly in explosive power.

Lu Sheng gently withdrew his hand and saw a black handprint clearly printed in the middle of the trunk.

The handprints are more than ten centimeters deep, and the whole exudes a pungent and hot smell.

Lu Sheng stretched out his hand and lightly touched the edge of the black handprint, and a large piece of bark suddenly fell, and the inside of the bark was covered with a large number of black lines like wrinkles.

"It's like a burn. Black Evil Gong, it seems that in the positive internal strength, it should also be a good grade, but unfortunately, there are only a few layers of remnants... If you can deduce and strengthen the Black Demon Gong, maybe the future development and improvement will be even greater!"

He was now equivalent to forty or fifty years of profound martial arts for ordinary people, and this was not counting the cultivation time of the Black Tiger Sword Technique and other martial arts.

"Next, I should practice a special footwork, whether it is the Black Tiger Sword or the rest of the martial arts, there is only a footwork that cooperates with the attack, and it is really pure footwork used to rush, pursue, and escape, I don't have a complete system. ”

Lu Sheng began to rummage through the footwork he had gathered. So far, he has only collected one door, and that is the Eight Treasures Step that he got in Jiulian City. However, this is only for dodging in combat.

"Navy blue. He thought silently in his heart.

The modifier box emerges, hovering in front of his eyes.

Lu Sheng recalled the eight treasure steps he had memorized before, and the grade of this footwork was even worse than that of the Wind Chasing Knife, and he didn't even have a visualization of the artistic conception map, so he simply memorized it directly.

Carefully recalling the steps, Lu Sheng slowly took his left foot, then the calf muscles rotated to the left to make force, and the right leg was a little on the side of the tree trunk, and the whole person used the force to rush forward and jump out. This is the first step of the eight treasure steps, this footwork has a total of eight steps, a total of three layers, it is said to imitate the famous footwork of the Central Plains eight steps to catch the cicada.

Lu Sheng studied for a while, and because he had a footwork foundation, he quickly became familiar with the strength of the movement, and saw the option of Eight Treasured Steps on the modifier.

He quickly stopped his movements and pressed the modify button with his mind.

Suddenly, the entire modifier box flashed.

"Take the eight treasures up a level. Lu Sheng continued.

In the options on the modifier, the state of Bazhenbu suddenly changed from beginner to beginner.

Lu Sheng checked his physical state, except for the slight numbness and itchiness of his legs, and the internal qi of the Black Tiger Jade Crane Gong was reduced, there was no reaction to the rest.

"Before I knew it, I had accumulated to this point.... This kind of martial arts at the end of the rivers and lakes can no longer make me feel burdened. Lu Sheng sighed in his heart and continued to look at the modifier box.

'Eight Treasures: Getting Started. ’

"Raise the Eight Treasures Step to the highest third layer. Lu Sheng simply recited silently.

Swish!

Bazhenbu flickered, from the entry, to the first layer. Lu Sheng didn't seem to feel it.

Swish!

On the second layer, Lu Sheng felt that his legs were more itchy.

In the end, Bazhen Bu jumped directly to the third layer, and the internal qi of the Black Tiger Jade Crane Gong was also consumed to the extent of four-fifths, and this amount would take him at least two days to recover.

But in the whole footwork, Lu Sheng already felt that the experience, walking, and usage of countless eight precious steps in his mind were all integrated, and his legs were obviously more flexible and powerful than before.

"Try it!"

Lu Sheng saw a sparrow in front of him, which had just fluttered up from the grass and shot into the distance.

With the force under his feet, he rushed forward.

Puff puff puff....

After eight consecutive steps, the little bird didn't have time to react and turn, and was slapped by Lu Sheng in his hand.

"I have strong explosiveness, and both the Black Evil Gong Internal Qi and the Black Tiger Jade Crane Skill have strengthened the explosion, and I have also strengthened my physical body. Under this kind of foundation, the eight precious steps are used, but the effect is good. This should have the effect of chasing cicadas in eight steps, right?" Lu Sheng let go of his hand with satisfaction, but what he saw was a little sparrow that he had pinched into a ball of flesh and blood...

He suddenly became helpless.

"The footwork has been solved, it's time to try to find hard skills. Lu Sheng thought about it, and in the past few months in the mountain city, he also secretly investigated and inquired about the situation in the city.

There are not many masters along the mountain city, because the government is strong and has more control over the people and horses in the rivers and lakes, so the masters here are more in the officialdom and the generals with troops.

Among them, the most famous is the Qingfeng Sword Lucheng Bell. Compared with this person, the rest of the people are just foils, but Lu Chengzhong is eighty-seven years old, and his three sons are all high-ranking officials in the city, so it is not easy to get close to asking for advice.

This was ruled out by Lu Sheng in the first place.
