Chapter 8 Song Lu
In the next period of time, Shen Chengping did not go out again, but stayed in the main hall of the Zhuhua Gang to guide Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to practice martial arts, as for Zhang Cheng, he is really older, and his own qualifications can only be said to be acceptable, and Shen Chengping cannot pass on martial arts such as absorbing power and law to Zhang Cheng, so he does not have high expectations for Zhang Cheng's future achievements in martial arts, Zhang Cheng is also aware of this, he sent Wei Zhenzhen to Shen Chengping, also to please Shen Chengping.
In fact, Zhang Cheng is not clear, Shen Chengping's value for him is not under Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Zhang Cheng's achievements in martial arts in the future may not be high, but Shen Chengping taught him how to manage the gang, and even instructed him to learn military books and war strategies, although Zhang Cheng does not have the same wit as Shuanglong, but his temperament is also calm, and he is not slow to learn under hard work, as long as he cultivates well, Shen Chengping will also be an excellent help to compete for the world in the future.
Until a few days later, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's longevity recipe was introduced, Shen Chengping brought them and Zhang Cheng these days among the teenagers, some of these teenagers are relatives of the Bamboo Flower Gang, and some are orphans in Yangzhou, Shen Chengping took up the work of a teacher, urging them to practice martial arts every day, teaching them to read and write, although there are some people invited by the Bamboo Flower Gang to assist, but it is also cumbersome, and when everything is on the right track, it has been more than half a month later.
On this day, Shen Chengping, who was finally at ease, took Wei Zhenzhen to wander around the street, and when he noticed the meal, he walked to the Yangzhou restaurant, found a window position in the restaurant and sat down, ordered some dishes, pressed Wei Zhenzhen to the seat, and slowly tasted tea.
Soon, Shen Chengping felt a ray of eyes staring at him, and when he looked at it, he saw three people, among which the man sitting on the main seat was about forty years old, but he was full of white hair and had a silver-white beard, but he did not show any signs of aging, he was born graceful and heroic, with a lot of grace, and his demeanor was very modest and polite.
Next to him are two women, one of whom is about twenty-five or six, with a bewitching expression and a graceful posture, even under the cover of clothes, the towering peaks are also looming, extremely sultry, and the man is very intimate, it should be a close relationship, and the last one is a girl, her demeanor is gentle and lovely, and she has a lovely charm, although it is a plain dress, but it does not reduce its moving style.
When the man saw Shen Chengping, he was slightly surprised, but he didn't know that Shen Chengping also secretly said in his heart: "It's a master!" β
Now with Shen Chengping's realm, he naturally looks down on the martial artists of the acquired realm, and those who can be called masters must at least have the innate realm, even if many people in the acquired realm have accumulated decades of skill, the strength of the internal strength alone is a few points stronger than the innate masters, but in terms of the synthesis of spirit and spirit, after all, they have not returned to the innate magical transformation, and they are much worse than the innate masters, and they are often difficult to defeat the innate masters when they really fight.
In this world, the heavens and the earth are full of vitality and spirituality. The physical fitness of ordinary people is slightly stronger than that of his previous life, and there are countless Jianghu people who have practiced their naΓ―ve qi with rough exercises, and there are more second- and third-rate masters in the martial arts than in previous lives.
However, it is still one in a thousand to be able to truly return to the acquired as the congenital, practice the innate true qi, and become an innate master, so look at the whole world. There may be a lot of first-class martial artists, but the innate master is still not common, it is the real pillar of each sect, and the forces in the rivers and lakes that can have innate masters are all under the jurisdiction of the vast sitting tigers, and the sect gangs that can have more than three first-class masters can already be regarded as first-class well-known sects, as for the first-class masters of the gate valve clan and the Tao, Buddha, and Demon sects, ranging from five or six to a dozen, and there are more grandmaster-level masters in charge, so they can be called the top Jianghu forces.
"Old man Song Lu, this little brother doesn't know what to call him!" The man sitting on the main seat observed Shen Chengping, but it seemed that he was no different from an ordinary son, but the look in Shen Chengping's eyes when he turned his head just now let him know that Shen Chengping was not trivial, and he couldn't help but greet him directly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be the silver-bearded Song Lu senior!" Shen Chengping listened to the other party's self-reported name, and compared his image, he immediately knew that he had met a person in the Song Valve, this Song Lu and the current Song Valve's owner 'Heavenly Knife' Song Que are the same generation, and his status in the Song Valve is not low, and he is in charge of a lot of real power, so he also said politely: "Junior Shen Chengping!" β
"It turned out to be Shen Gongzi, I don't know if I would like to have a drink together!" Song Lu invited directly.
"I'm also interested in getting to know my seniors!" Shen Chengping was not polite, and directly got up and walked to Song Lu's table and sat down: "I don't know what these two call them?" β
"This is Biannei, this is my niece Yuhua!" Song Lu said.
The two sides greeted each other again, and after getting to know each other, Song Luzhi first asked: "I don't know if Shen Gongzi is from Yangzhou?" β
"Yes, it's just that I went out to learn art with my teacher since I was a child, and I only recently returned, but I didn't expect that Yangzhou has changed a lot!" Shen Chengping said with a smile.
"I see, to be able to teach a young man like Shen Gongzi, Lingshi must be an incredible character!" Song Lu said tentatively.
"Senior Song has a good reputation!" Shen Chengping took a sip of tea, didn't answer the question, and instead complimented: "I also admire your Heavenly Sword predecessors!" β
Then the two sides were a verbal temptation, and in the end Song Lu did not figure out the origin of Shen Chengping, but Shen Chengping guessed from a few words that the purpose of their coming here was also to open up the smuggling channels in Yangzhou, after all, since the completion of the Grand Canal, Yangzhou has become an important transportation hub, it can be said that Yangzhou's development and prosperity are inseparable from the Grand Canal, but now as the head snake of Yangzhou, the Bamboo Flower Gang has undergone major changes, Song Lu wants to see the situation clearly before betting.
Although he thought that he might cooperate in the future, Shen Chengping did not lean on it immediately, let alone explain the relationship between the Bamboo Flower Gang and himself now, because he knew that at this time, in Song Lu's eyesight, it was difficult for the Bamboo Flower Gang to pass the Iron Horse Club, and Shen Chengping wanted to cooperate with Song Valve, first of all, he had to prove that the current Bamboo Flower Gang had the ability to control the situation in Yangzhou.
After leaving the restaurant, Wei Zhenzhen asked, "Childe, is that old gentleman very powerful?" β
"Well, we may have some cooperation with them in the future, but now is not the time to talk about this!" Shen Chengping said: "Zhenzhen, have you really decided to follow me in the future?" If you want, I can give you some money to send you away!" β
"Zhenzhen has nowhere to go, if it is not taken in by Gongzi, where can she go?" Wei Zhenzhen's idea is very simple, just to find a good home, she has been sold by her father, and it is only ten taels of silver, although Shen Chengping is a maid, it is better than going back and being sold again.
"Yes!" Shen Chengping nodded, he was not surprised by her choice, in fact, Shen Chengping could not really let Wei Zhenzhen leave, and now it was just to see Wei Zhenzhen's own thoughts, he could already confirm that what Wei Zhenzhen said was absolutely true through induction, which also made Shen Chengping decide to start passing on some of Wei Zhenzhen's skills.
