The outer disciples of the Tongli Realm are qualified to cultivate, mainly "Three Stacked Waves", "Mixed Yuan Jin", "Shadowless Legs" and other more than a dozen exercises, it can be said that there are many choices.

However, the most chosen by the disciples of the Jushi Gate is "Mixed Yuan Jin", which is the only internal refining method that can be accessed in the outer gate, and it is said to be a simplified version of the real internal strength heart method "Mixed Yuan Gong".

In addition, "Iron Palm Gong", "Seventy-two Road Tan Legs", and "Three Stacked Waves" are also quite famous foreign first-class exercises in the rivers and lakes, at least compared to "Broken Stone Fist" and "Tablet Opener", I don't know how many grades higher the quality of such mainland goods, so there are many disciples in the door to choose.

However, it does not include the "Stone Armor Gong" that Li Mingyu is practicing, speaking of which, this "Stone Armor Gong" is also the best foreign body protection hard skill, and it is also famous in the rivers and lakes, but the disciples of the Jushi Gate rarely ask about cultivation.

There are a few reasons for this.

First of all, it was too bitter, and "Shijia Gong" had to be beaten hundreds of times a day with a purple shirt hardwood stick the thickness of a goose egg in the entry stage, until one day a brand-new purple shirt wooden stick could be broken. After getting started, you have to replace the wooden stick with a stone stick, and it is not considered a small success until the stone stick is broken. As for the Dacheng stage, it is necessary to replace the stone rod with an iron rod until the iron rod is bent.

In addition, although "Shijia Gong" is not famous in the rivers and lakes, most cultivators are actually in the beginner or small success stage, and they can really cultivate to the end of the world, so that they can do what is described in the cheats, there is no leakage in the body, water and fire are not invaded, and the sword and gun are like a rock realm, and in recent decades, it can be said that there is not even a single person. The reason is that the cultivation speed of this "Shijia Gong" is too slow, even if it is a martial arts genius with natural endowment, it will take more than ten or even decades of hard cultivation, and it is difficult to cultivate to the fullest, and if the qualification is ordinary, it will be useless for a lifetime.

If you have the talent and time to practice "Shijia Gong", you will probably be a well-known master of the inner family, who will choose to practice this bitter and tiring turtle flow exercise.

The most critical point is that "Shijia Gong" is too weak in the stage of not becoming a complete achievement, not to mention the weaknesses of dead points such as eyes, temples, and lower yin, and the ability to resist blows is limited to blunt blows such as fists, feet, clubs, etc., and the defense against cutting and piercing injuries such as swords is limited.

And the real fight in the rivers and lakes is to fight with life, it can be said that everything is done, and in the face of the rain of swords, guns and arrows, the role of this "Shijia Gong" is extremely limited, so it is simply a chicken rib in general. Don't say that the children of those families and big factions can't look down on them, even these newcomers to the outer door of the Jushi Gate don't look at it.

The reason why Li Mingyu chose this chicken rib "Stone Armor Gong", which everyone looks down on, is that although "Stone Breaker" is not of high grade, as long as it can be practiced to the Dacheng stage, it is enough for them as outer disciples, at least in the stage of the Tongli Realm, it is not worse than those "Iron Palm Gong" and "Seventy-two Road Tan Legs".

Practicing martial arts is not as much as possible, greedy for more and seeking perfection, miscellaneous but not refined is a taboo in martial arts.

He still remembers that when he was a child, in the martial arts stories told to him by his mother, there was a big hero named Qiao Feng, who relied on the most basic set of Arhat boxing to defeat all martial arts in all aspects. Although this is a storyline, there is some truth in it, and it also has reference significance for myself.

There is also the fact that although "Stone Armor Gong" was weak before Dacheng, it was a first-class body protection hard skill after all, and it still had an advantage in ordinary fist and foot fights. This will have a great effect on future planning.

……

After coming to the cafeteria with Zhou Pang and others at noon, Li Mingyu couldn't help frowning when he looked at the food that was laid out.

"What's wrong recently, why is the food getting worse and worse," Zhou Pang muttered dissatisfiedly as he looked at the food in front of him.

"Cabbage stewed vermicelli", "Stewed potato cubes", "Boiled tofu", "Coarse noodles and steamed buns", "Vegetarian soup".

"The food has deteriorated again", Li Mingyu has felt it since last month, at first it was just "potato stewed beef", meat such as "braised pork" and medicinal supplements such as "Ten Complete Qi and Bone Soup" suddenly stopped. And "fat beans" and "oil residue cabbage" are still enough for vegetables with large oil and water.

But today, not only is the oil and water gone, the eggs are gone, and even the amount of food has begun to be served per capita, instead of letting them eat enough.

Li Mingyu ate a big bowl of ingredients and four or five coarse steamed buns, and barely ate his stomach, but he didn't want to eat anymore, everyone was these supplies, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and the worry in his heart deepened.

Martial arts in the acquired stage, is to refine and refine qi, refine the subtlety of the grain, and transform it into strength, qi and blood, and the subtlety of the grain is the food that people eat every day, if you can eat big fish and meat every day, the speed can definitely be several times faster, because the essence contained in meat food is much more sufficient than other foods.

Although he is eating a lot of food now, it is actually just some vegetarian food, and there is no oil and water, so the essence injected is actually not much, not to mention that it is not bad to let the cultivation be diligent, and he can barely maintain the consumption of the body.

For Li Mingyu, the key now is the lack of resources, if he can have all kinds of medicine and food to assist his cultivation, his cultivation speed is definitely a thousand miles a day, let's just say that he is now, if he can eat big fish and meat every day, the speed can definitely be several times faster.

However, what worries Li Mingyu the most is the change in the Jushi Gate, yes, although there is no news channel, but he is sure that something big has definitely happened to the Jushi Gate.

These teenagers are the foundation of the development of the Giant Stone Gate, if it weren't for the huge changes that happened in the door, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to take care of their food.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Li Mingyu did not go back to his house to do penance as usual.

It's a rare chat with a few people who are familiar with Zhou Pang and other people.

After chatting a few words, Li Mingyu pretended to ask casually, "Little fatty, why can't you see your family coming over recently?"

In the past, the Chen family would send someone over every month to send some clothes and money to Chen Pang. With silver, you can buy medicine and food tonic even in the outer door, such as the tonic medicine "Ten Complete Qi and Bone Soup", which can only be drunk once a few days depending on the supply of the sect, and Chen Pang can drink it every day because of the money. 、

This is also the reason why he was able to break through to the Tongli Realm in three months even though he had average qualifications before and was not very interested in martial arts.

It can be said that almost most of the children who stayed in the outer gate have the support of family resources behind them, and only a few people like Li Mingyu have stayed behind completely by their own penance.

Chen Pang was also a little distressed and said, "The family hasn't sent anyone for more than a month, and the rest of the money has long been used up, and now I can only eat vegetarian dishes and steamed buns in the canteen every day, I feel that my stomach is deflated, if I go home, my father will probably have it!"

"Why should your father be surprised?" said Chai Da strangely.

"Chubby actually lost weight!" A quick-reacting teenager followed.

At this time, everyone also understood, and they all laughed along.

However, Li Mingyu did not laugh along, there must have been a huge change in the Boulder Gate, otherwise the outer door would not have been blocked.

Yes, the boulder gate blocked the outer door, Chen Pang was not the first person he asked, he had asked several people one after another in the past few days, and they all said that there had been no news from the outside for more than a month, obviously the boulder gate blocked the outer door and the outside source.

"Could it be that the situation in the Jushi Gate has been extremely bad, otherwise why wouldn't you even dare to let these outer disciples know the news" Li Mingyu was worried in his heart.

He had planned to cultivate hard, striving to break through the qi sense in three years and pass the assessment to enter the inner gate.

Now it seems that it is better to think about your future path.

……

More than half a month later

At midnight, the dormitory outside the gate of the boulder gate.

On the simple wooden bed, Li Mingyu sat cross-legged, his eyes were slightly closed, and he breathed regularly, and after holding on for about a quarter of an hour and approaching two quarters of an hour, he seemed to have reached the limit, his breath was chaotic and his face was red, so he took a long breath, stopped, and slowly opened his eyes.

"I persisted for nearly two quarters of an hour, much less than I had expected, and this "Qi Breathing Method" has already started by itself, and it can even be said to be a small success. ”

"It's a pity that I don't have much time to stay in the door!" Li Mingyu shook his head, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

He is still young now, and his strength is still weak, if he has a choice, he will really be in the Boulder Gate for so many years, and when he has the strength to protect himself, he will leave the sect and go outside.

"Unfortunately, things are often not as good as they should be."

These days, the atmosphere in the door has become more and more tense, Li Mingyu and his outer disciples have been restricted in their movements, and the rumors about the bad situation in the door have been flying all over the sky.

"Knock knock!"

"Did Little Six Sleep?"

There was a slight knock on the door, and someone whispered.

However, Li Mingyu immediately heard that it was Zhou Fugui, that is, Zhou Xiaopang's voice.

Li Mingyu knew after thinking about it slightly that the other party must have something secret to say to him when he came over so late.

Waiting for Li Mingyu to open the door, Zhou Xiaopang cautiously looked around, but after there was no one, he put his mind at ease and walked into the house quickly.

Li Mingyu picked up the teapot wrapped in a towel from the table and brought the other party a cup of warm tea.

However, Zhou Fugui had no interest in drinking tea, picked up a cup of tea, put it down again, opened his mouth a few times but still didn't say anything, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Little fatty, don't you usually have a big grin, don't you care about anything, how did you become a mother-in-law today, and what is there to say, how is it difficult for a brother to say. ”

………………

"Yes, there is something that our brothers can't say. ”

Zhou Fugui pondered for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and spoke.

The tone was full of firmness and sincerity, and his expression was surprisingly calm and calm, which was still like the reckless and simple Zhou Xiaopang who had been acting in the past.

Seeing this, Li Mingyu couldn't help but squint his eyes, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he said secretly: "I really underestimated the people of the world, this week Fugui has obviously been pretending to be greedy and stupid in the past few months, obviously acting in front of himself and others, he didn't see it at all." ”

Zhou Fugui glanced at Li Mingyu with deep meaning at this time, and smiled faintly.

"I guess you can see Xiao Liu, that's right, Xiao Liu, I've been pretending to be stupid for the past few months, and if there is no sudden change in the door, I will continue to act. What's more, what is very deeply hidden among these people, how can I be Zhou Fugui alone? Don't talk about others, Xiaoliu, don't you have a secret, I think it must be based on your words and deeds, nine times out of ten you will invest in a rich and rich family, and it is definitely not the child of a poor family as you say!"

Seeing Li Mingyu's expression change slightly, Zhou Fugui knew that he had guessed correctly.

He continued with a wave of his hand

"Xiaoliu, you don't have to find other excuses to cover up, I, Zhou Fugui, have no malicious intentions, and I don't want to delve into what your identity is. ”

"Like you said, we hide from each other, but I can feel that you really think of me as a brother. So even though it would be a bit risky, I chose to let you know before I left. ”

"Fugui, you are leaving, has the situation deteriorated to such a point" Li Mingyu said with a solemn expression.

These outer disciples have signed an oath deed after passing the assessment, so it can be said that they are people of the sect in life and ghosts of the sect in death, otherwise why would the Jushimen come up with so many resources to cultivate them.

And Jushimen obviously will not take the initiative to terminate the deed, and Zhou Fugui's so-called departure is actually a betrayal and escape.

Once such an attempt is discovered, especially when the situation of the sect is not good and it is in turmoil, the end result is to be immediately killed by the rules of the main door.

"It's much more serious than you guessed, it can be said that it is like a dangerous egg, if there is still a little hope, I will not choose to leave, and it is not a good reputation to run away in the rivers and lakes.

It can be said that there is only one thought, the difference between heaven and earth, if I had gone to the Zhushan Gang, I would not have had today's trouble if I hadn't come to the Giant Stone Gate," Chen Fugui sighed and said.

The Zhushan Gang is also one of the major factions of Qishan Dao, and its sphere of influence is mainly in Zhushan in the north of Qishan Dao, and Jushimen is one south and one north are the two largest sects in Qishan.

Under Chen Fugui's careful explanation, Li Mingyu gradually understood what kind of changes had happened to the Jushi Gate.

It all started more than two months ago.

After more than 100 years of construction, after two or three generations of development, it has now controlled the four counties of Qishan Road, and there are hundreds of disciples in the door, which can be regarded as a third-rate gang in the entire Qi country.

And the important people in the Jushi Gate, in addition to Yu Hanshan, the head of the gang who has been in control of the gang for more than 20 years, are Wei Lingshan and Chu Yileng, the left and right protectors, and then Yu Wenyuan, the eldest son of Yu Hanshan, and Gao Huan, the eldest disciple of the inner gate.

However, more than two months ago, the head of the sect, Yu Hanshan, suddenly died violently, so he had been in retreat in the secret room before, and by the time the disciples outside the door found out that something was wrong, he had been dead for almost three or four days.

The head Yu Hanshan is only over fifty years old, and he is a master of the Qi Realm of Tongmai Dacheng and the pillar of the Jushi Gate. Suddenly, he was found dead in the secret room, and the cause of death was unknown, which shocked the entire Boulder Gate at once.

What's even more strange is that after being confirmed by several famous doctors in the gang, they all agreed that Yu Hanshan was killed by a master with superb internal strength who used the dark power of "Cotton Palm" to shatter the five organs. And in the entire Qishan Dao, there is only one master who can cultivate the internal strength of the cotton palm to such a high level, which is the left protector Weiling Mountain in the late stage of the Tongmai Realm.

The head of the gate is dead, and the suspect is the left protector, and such a change has caused chaos in the entire Boulder Gate.

The forces in the door, led by the right protector Chu Yileng, accused the left protector Wei Lingshan of killing the head Yu Hanshan, and asked Wei Lingshan to confess his guilt and turn himself in.

And what suspicion does Wei Lingshan have to kill Yu Hanshan?

It turns out that in the past two years, the forces in the door headed by Yu Hanshan, the head of the sect, and the forces recognized by Wei Lingshan, the left protector of the law, have been fighting openly and secretly, and the contradictions have become more and more intense.

The difference is that Yu Hanshan, the head of the house, has always wanted to pass on his position to his eldest son Yu Wenyuan, but Zuo Changlao thinks that Yu Wenyuan's martial arts and internal strength are not qualified for the position of the head of the house, and the most suitable candidate is his eldest disciple Gao Huan.

Regarding the accusation of the right protector Chu Yileng, the left protector Wei Lingshan admitted that of course he would not admit his guilt, but was furious and thought that the other party was slandering him.

As a result, the two forces argued endlessly, and even made big moves on many occasions.

Each wants to support the people they support to become the head of the house.

But then the other two people changed more unexpectedly.

More than a month ago, Gao Huan, the eldest disciple of the Left Protector Ling Mountain, suddenly died again, in his bedroom. The cause of death has been confirmed by the famous doctor in the door to be the death of the internal strength of Gao Shen's "Mixed Yuan Gong".

Although "Mixed Yuan Gong" is not a miracle, it is also a well-known middle and upper class internal skill in the rivers and lakes, and more importantly, it is the unique secret book of the Jushi Gate.

The lover died violently, the left protector Wei Lingshan was furious and the right protector Chu Yileng fought, the two competed many times, the most popular Wei Lingshan relied on the internal force to be more profound, and finally seriously injured Chu Yileng with one blow.

After Chu Yileng, the right protector, knew that he was seriously injured, he would definitely not be able to compete for Weiling Mountain in the Boulder Gate, so Yu Wenyuan, the eldest son of the head of the sect, and the remnants of his subordinates simply withdrew from Qishan Road and chose to go away.

In this way, after this change, the Boulder Gate is one for two, the disciples in the door have suffered heavy casualties, the original master is not one out of ten, and the more important thing is that the original pillar of the door, the master of the Tongmai Realm is only left with the left protector Wei Lingshan.

What's even worse is that when the strength of the Jushimen was greatly damaged, the Zhushan Gang, another major faction of Qishan Dao, took the opportunity to launch an offensive.

Xiao Guidao, the leader of the Zhushan Gang, and the four elders under his command raided the helm of the Jushi Gate, not only was the left protector Wei Lingshan seriously injured by Xiao Guidao, but the few remaining elite disciples in the sect were also killed and injured in this battle.

Now that the gate has been completely abandoned, the four counties under Pingyang Mansion have concentrated all the forces in the gate to guard the general helm of Pingyang Mansion.

Chen Fugui sighed and finally concluded.

However, it is said that even so, the situation has not improved much, the left protector Wei Lingshan was seriously injured and dying, and the few remaining high-ranking people in the door are still fighting for power and accusing each other. And the Zhushan Gang has already unified the two prefectures and thirteen counties of Qishan Road at this time, and at this time they have surrounded Pingyang Mansion, and they will launch a general attack just after Wei Lingshan passes, and the only estimate is that they are afraid that Wei Lingshan will pull one or two people as a backing when they die!"

After that, both of them were silent for a while.

Li Mingyu thought about it repeatedly in his heart, he always felt that what happened in the Jushimen during this time was strange and coincidental, and there should be some person or force secretly manipulating it behind.

After thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, and it wasn't something he was able to care about at the moment, so he simply didn't want to.

"The Giant Stone Gate has fallen, do we have a chance to join the Zhushan Gang?" Li Mingyu said with a move in his heart.

"Will you adopt your enemy's children?" Chen Fugui said

"But we're just newcomers to the Boulder Gate!"

"What about the newcomers, who dares to guarantee that none of them will miss the Giant Stone Gate and have hatred for the Zhushan Gang. There is such a sentence, you Xiaoliu, have you ever heard it, it is better to kill the wrong thousand people than to put the wrong one. Chen Fugui snorted coldly.

Lee Mingyu was silent.

"What is the best fate for us after the destruction of the Boulder Gate?"

"Become the big hand and cannon fodder of the Zhushan Gang, where is there any danger for us to go!"

"Okay, I see!" Li Mingyu said with a deep breath, and he also made a decision in his heart.

As for the reason why the Boulder Gate blocked the news for them, it is also very understandable that they have just entered the newcomer for half a year, and their loyalty to the sect is also worrying, if they let them know the danger in the door, it is inevitable that someone will run away and retreat. In this way, the people's hearts will be completely dispersed, and the situation will completely collapse.

It is better to completely block the news, keep martial law to control the situation, and wait for the illusory hope. As for the future, the sect will be destroyed, and who will care about the life or death of these newcomer disciples!

"Fugui, when are you leaving?" asked Li Mingyu.

“…… Three days later," Chen Fugui hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"At that time, the family will arrange a master to pick up"

He hesitated for a moment and continued, "When the time comes, you should also take advantage of the chaos, otherwise it will be too late and you won't be able to leave."

"Okay, I see," Li Mingyu nodded.

He understood, of course, what was the most hateful thing for the megalithic gate of the matter, of course, a traitor, which was tantamount to stepping on its hand on the edge of the cliff. There is a better chance of escaping early, and if it is too late, you will only be caught in the door and used to make an example of the monkey.

"Also, don't worry, I won't say it, what's the point of going to the sect at this time!" Li Mingyu knew what he was worried about, and opened his mouth to reassure.

……

"Hey, Xiaoliu, take care of yourself in the future. ”

Standing in front of the door, watching Chen Fugui's figure disappear into the darkness, Li Mingyu stood silently until a long time later, when he took a long breath and turned around and returned to the house.

At this time, his expression was thoughtful, and he made a decision in his heart.
