Chapter Thirty-Six: Returning to Life
Lou Hong's style of action is as simple and direct as his fighting style.
Zheng Qian said that he would deal with the Sanzhai matter as soon as possible, and he was not willing to wait even the next day.
After coming out of the account room, he directly found Zhou Shang who was training, and said that he was going to Devil's Crying Ridge.
"Commander Lou is sorry, I'm on vacation today, you can find someone else."
Zhou Shang, who was marching the [Five Fowl Guidance] closing ceremony, didn't open his eyes, so he directly refused.
"Hey, weren't you very energetic yesterday?"
Lou Hong, who was rejected, didn't quite understand and needed an explanation.
"Whew~~~"
Zhou Shang, who had completed a trip to the [Five Fowl Guidance], opened his eyes and said while wiping his sweat: "I accompanied yesterday, firstly, because of the work task, and secondly, because I wanted to see the cultivators of the middle grade realm fighting. If you are just watching and picking up heads, it is better to stay in the camp and practice. β
"How can you say that, haven't I been doing it all the time?"
Lou Hong gestured and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm a genuine middle-grade master, don't you cherish the opportunity to observe and learn at close range?" β
"It's right to lead the cultivation to a high level, but it's not necessarily necessary to observe and learn, I can't even see the movements clearly."
Zhou Shang had no choice but to spread his hands: "From beginning to end, I saw the figure shuttling, and after a few battles, I really couldn't learn anything except for the bloody head flying up." β
"Ahem... It was an oversight, but I promise, you're sure to learn something this time! β
After Lou Hong coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, he said: "Didn't you say yesterday that I would teach you two tricks, and it just so happens that you are resting today, let's try the tricks with the thieves of Ghost Crying Mountain, how about it?" β
Cultivators from sects are undoubtedly a treasure trove, and even if they can't teach the core exercises, the little knowledge that leaks out is still at a rare level.
"Feeling Qi is a very important stage of cultivation, and for a long period of time, this stage of cultivation is the whole of cultivation, but do you know why it is rare to find the secret techniques of the Feeling Qi realm on the market now?"
On the way to Devil's Crying Ridge, Lou Hong began to talk to Zhou about popular science, the common sense of the cultivation world, "On the one hand, because of the cultivation theory of the Sanjia True Immortals, and secondly, because of the decline of the ancient martial arts school, with the popularization of the Tongmai realm, in addition to the top exercises in the ancient martial arts have been inherited, a large number of ancient martial arts schools are facing inheritance problems. β
"In the final analysis, it is because the combat skills developed by taking the realm of sensibility as the end point of cultivation will eventually be completely destroyed after the emergence of the new realm, except for a very small number of ancient martial arts schools with lofty intentions, most of the ancient martial arts schools, from the perspective of today's cultivation, are all dross."
"But then again, if the current Qi Sense cultivator is thrown back to that environment, I dare to say that even the top Qi Feeling Realm disciples in the sect will be beaten by the Gu Wu Liu disciples of the same realm, because the Gu Wu School has already developed the skills of the Qi Feeling Realm to the extreme!"
"Some of these skills, even from today's point of view, are considered top-notch, and what I want to teach you is a formula, [Returning Qi and Vitality]!"
When the two said this, the cart had stopped in front of the Ghost Crying Ridge, and Lou Hong did not go straight to the top of the mountain like last time, but asked Zhou Shang first: "Xueliu Village and Mo enter the forest, you have also seen dozens of cultivators who have entered the product, have you noticed that these cultivators are extremely obsessed with the skills of Yuan Qi's release, thinking that this can maximize the power of Yuan Qi, bullshit!" β
"Let's not talk about the two paths of refining Qi and attaining gods, only in terms of the path of forging the body, there is only one way to maximize the power of Yuan Qi, including but not developing!"
Lou Hong rubbed his palms vigorously dozens of times and spread them out, and the palm of his palm was faintly Yuan Qi light, covering the kidney door on both sides of the waist, "Yuan Qi is the essence of the human body, and injecting it into the kidney gate can strengthen the kidney power, and the kidney is the source of strength. β
Hearing the effect of this move, Zhou Shang's eyes lit up suddenly.
Lou Hong's hair glowed black and bright, he put his hands down from the kidney door, and asked with a smile: "Boy, what do you think is the effect of this move compared to those Yuan Qi who can only catch the blind if they miss a blow?" β
"I don't know about others, but for me, there is no better technique than this [Returning Qi and Vitality]!"
Zhou Shang sighed like this, after the first appearance of the Buddha's light, he stopped rushing the pulse.
Because the act of breaking the pulse is itself the act of consuming Yuan Qi, if the highest goal is to pass the pulse, then it is best to first raise the Yuan Qi to a certain extent, and then the momentum is like a bamboo, so the loss is relatively small.
But after watching Lou Hong's demonstration of [Returning Qi and Vitality], Zhou Shang thought that it was necessary for him to open up the meridians of his left hand again, because this technique of the Qi Realm was too suitable for him!
It was the first time for Lou Hong to see Zhou Shang's unconcealed joy, and he immediately hit the railway while it was hot: "There are still many skills in King Kong Gate like this kind of [Returning Vitality], so if you want to choose forces to serve later, you should consider this aspect more." β
"After that? Choosing a force to work? β
Zhou Shang keenly grasped the key point in Lou Hong's words: "Listening to this, you seem to think that our firm will lose?" Does the other party have a master? β
"Master of bullshit, I haven't heard of a strong dragon not suppressing the head snake."
Lou Hong sighed: "Although our proprietor is not a cultivator, but this temper is greater than that of a cultivator, saying that he wants to make the head of the Sanzhai bandit into Jingguan to comfort the souls of the dead brothers, you say that if you do this, the Yongning forces can't hate the owner to the bone, if this force unites, ......"
"Anyway, I've thought about it, if I can't do anything, I'll take Lao Zheng away, but this Qiankun business house will definitely not be able to keep it, with your temperament, you will inevitably leave the business house, so you have to plan for the future after leaving." Like Lao Zheng, you are afraid that you will not be able to find the second one, so it is better to take a step back and find a sect to take refuge, I think King Kong Gate is very good. β
For the general, if you don't think about victory, you can not be defeated because you lose first.
Lou Hong is obviously a very mature fighter, he has even planned for the worst-case scenario, and even Zhou Shang's actions are clearly arranged.
Zhou Shang also had to admit that Lou Hong was very reasonable, if the Qiankun Commercial Bank was really going to be crushed by the surging trend, he would definitely find another way to survive after he did his duty as a guard.
But this kind of plan, after the defeat, it is completely too late to do it.
"We're going to lose? Not necessarily! β
Compared with Lou Hong's opinion, Zhou Shang obviously has his own judgment of winning or losing, "The disciples of the Taoist Pavilion united with the family to intercept and kill the caravan, this kind of thing is not seen at all, and it is too late for the other party to clear up the relationship, where do you dare to come to the door to find fault, even if you hate it in your heart, it can only be a ghost trick, but this kind of battle will only make us stronger and stronger!" β
"You kid, go and look at your head! Still getting stronger? β
Lou Hong was speechless: "Didn't you see how many people left in the morning?" What is it strong with? β
"But there's more left."
Zhou Shang crossed his fingers and analyzed: "And the Gaotu of the bloody village has changed seven or eight, which shows that the other party has done this kind of thing for a long time, and Yongning Prefecture has already accumulated countless people who are dissatisfied with them, but they were alone in the past, and they had no ability to resist at all, so they could only wait and see in silence." β
"But now that the owner has come out, the situation is different, we will become a beam of light in the dark, as long as we hold on, there will be countless fireflies to the light, and eventually converge into a prairie fire, I think as long as we survive the early stage, the probability of winning is very high!"
Although it sounds a little reasonable, it is impossible for Lou Hong to admit defeat.
Kong, just hard bar!
"Being bullied means that you are weak, and the weak are gathered together, isn't it still the food in front of the strong, the food in the mouth, and the ghost under the knife?"
Lou Hong put on an invincible appearance, "What's the use of such a collection?" β
"The reason why the weak are weak is because there is no direction to work hard and no reason to become stronger."
Zhou Shang said seriously: "Strength and weakness are not constant, a person who is not diligent and only willing to lie in bed every day to consume his life, in a different environment, will become a person who works hard to powerless, and struggles to move himself." β
"Hey, the kind of person you are talking about doesn't exist at all!"
Lou Hong waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, stop talking, it's time to do something, you have to rush back when you're done!" β
After three incense sticks, the ghost cried the bandits in the mountain and died.
β¦β¦
The three Jingguan built by bandits made the family members cry heartily, and also made the people of Yongning City cheer.
Just when the Qiankun Commercial Bank was holding a meeting here.
Even the big shopkeeper over there is very busy.
The news of the annihilation of the entire Sanshan army could not be concealed at all.
If they were all thieves like Yunshanzhai who died, they would die, but this is not the case.
Except for a very small number of real bandits, the cultivators of the Three Mountains all have origins and roots.
Therefore, not long after the news was transmitted back to Yongning City, there were people who held Lianjiabao accountable one after another.
Among them, Ning Li, the owner of the Bloody Hand Gym, had an extremely tough attitude, "If even the big shopkeeper can't give Ning an explanation, then don't blame Ning for ignoring the past!" β
"Pavilion Master Ning, this kind of thing happened, the old man is also very sad, but this time it's not just your family that has a loss, the industry that our bank has been operating on Danxia Mountain for decades has been destroyed, and the casualties are even worse, even the descendants have died!"
Even the big shopkeeper was full of sadness, as if he had been wronged, "The owner of the Ning Pavilion did not go to the main owner, but came to hold the old man accountable, what is the reason?" β
"Okay, since the big shopkeeper wants to listen to reason, then Ning will reason with the big shopkeeper!"
Ning Li, whose face was red, said in a cold voice: "When I was a dignitary, even the big shopkeeper assured Ning that the blood flow village in Danxia Mountain was absolutely safe, and there would be no problems. and promised that if there is any action, he will definitely come to discuss with Ning first, so Ning wants to know, why did he not notify Qiankun Shang this time? β
"This..."
Maybe he didn't expect a martial artist like Ning Li to have such a clear order, and Liangen didn't know how to answer all of a sudden, so he was speechless.
As the game-keeper of Danxia Mountain, the bandit leaders of Danxia Mountain are actually disciples who have caused trouble or committed accidents in the various avenues in the city, and it is not good for them to continue to show up in the city.
At the beginning, the Lian family did as promised, but whenever there was any action, they would discuss it with several museum owners.
But as time went by, the Lian family's control over the blood flow village deepened, and those disciples gradually understood their identity as abandoned sons, and the situation changed slightly.
On the bright side, those people in Danxia Cave are still disciples of the Great Dao Pavilion, but in fact, they are already martial slaves raised by the Lian family, so many actions after that, only the Lian family instructed them.
Just like the incident of Qiankun Commercial Bank, at that time, Liangen didn't know Zheng Qian's action of smashing his job, but he just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, and the targets were all hired men who had no followers.
Even the six chariots of escorts combined, less than 100 people.
Afterwards, the three grass forces in Yongning Prefecture jointly spoke, Zheng Qian was not so frightened that he clamped his tail and got out immediately?
But who would have thought that Zheng Gan, a-stirring stick, would let Lou Hong slaughter two cottages in order to avenge the men and employees of the trading house!
What made Liangen even more angry was Lou Hong, a stunned young man, who slaughtered the village single-handedly, how dare he!
I really don't take the bandits who are cultivating in the same realm in my eyes, and even the cultivators who have entered so many products are regarded as nothing.
Well, this morning alone, several Daoist Pavilion owners have come to hold them accountable, and the angles are sharper than the other.
It's not to ask why Liangen knows that there are middle-grade cultivators in the Qiankun Commercial Bank and still want to provoke, or why don't you cut the grass and eradicate the roots since you want to do it.
They all came to ask Lao Tzu, who did Lao Tzu ask?
How did I know that there would be such a reckless bastard in the world!
But this is the heart of the big shopkeeper, can this be used as an answer, of course not, even if the Baicao Firm is the one who actually loses the most, but at this juncture, he can't offend these Daoist masters at all.
Ning Li looked at Lian Gen's speech, and his words became more radical, "Ning Mou is regarded as a disciple of the heir to the mantle, and now he is dead in vain, doesn't even the big shopkeeper think that he should give Ning an explanation!?" β
If you abandon your son, you will abandon your son, and what mantle will be passed on.
Even the big shopkeeper who has been up and down in the business sea for many years can hear Ning Li's meaning at once, but he can only accompany him with a smiling face: "The owner of the Ning Pavilion has lost his beloved apprentice, and the old man does have something to think about, so according to the meaning of the Ning Pavilion Master, how to compensate?" β
"Mediocre talents are full, good talents are hard to find, Yi Ning is a certain age, and if you want to meet the mantle disciple again, I don't know what year."
Ning Li sighed and said: "Thinking of the friendship in the past, even the shopkeeper will prepare a sufficient amount of elixir for ten people from the feeling qi to the pulse, this condition is not too much, right?" β
β... The owner of the Ning Pavilion is saddened to lose his beloved apprentice, of course, this request is not too much! β
Even the skin is smiling and not smiling.
"Haha, even the shopkeeper is really refreshing, since this is the case, Ning will leave."
Ning Li, who had been compensated, left Lianjiabao, and there was no trace of sadness on his face for losing his "beloved apprentice", and he walked out of Lianjiabao with a proud pace.
"Father, how's it going?"
Ning Kang, who had been waiting outside Lianjiabao, saw Ning Li coming out, so he stepped forward and asked eagerly, "When are we going to make a move on the Qiankun merchants?" β
"Who told you that we were going to take action against the Qiankun merchants?"
Ning Li, who was in a good mood, heard this, and he was overwhelmed.
"Oops!"
Ning Kang held his head, aggrieved and puzzled.
"Stupid boy, the most important thing is to understand who can mess with and who can't. An ordinary disciple who is a disciple of the product will die if he dies, and for him to find trouble with the middle-grade master who destroys the door alone? β
Ning Li poked Ning Kang's head, hating that iron could not become steel, "According to this method, is our Daoist Hall accepting apprentices or ancestors?" When you become the owner of the hall, you have to remember well, the so-called disciples of the Taoist hall are farmers who can raise livestock, and those who can work and earn money are good livestock, if it is a lazy donkey and an old cow, it is better to kill and eat meat! β
"Shhhhh That Senior Brother Nie has filial piety every year after joining the Blood Flow Village, he should be regarded as a good livestock, and we should avenge his hatred, right? β
Ning Kang covered his head, applied what he had learned, and drew inferences from one example.
"What Senior Brother Nie? It's called Nie Yi! Remember, if someone asks about it in the future, it will be my bloody outcast, born a thief, because of his refuge in the bloody village, he has long been removed from his father's name! β
When Ning Kang heard this, he felt that the world was shattered, and his eyes were dull and unbelievable.
Ning Li had a disappointed expression of "you, you, how naΓ―ve", and patted Ning Kang's head, "Stinky boy, there are still many things you have to learn." Listen up, cultivation is not about fighting and killing, it's about calculating interests. β
"Take this matter as an example, going to Lou Hong for revenge for your father, no matter what, it is a loss, if your father is injured and defeated, it is even more of a loss. But let's use Nie Yi's death to challenge Baicao Commercial Bank, and we can get a full amount of ten people's in-class pills with our mouths, this is a steady win! β
"Ten servings of the pill!"
Ning Kang's mouth opened slightly, he couldn't even care about the pain, and his face was full of surprise, "Even the big shopkeeper is willing to do it?" β
"He has to give it."
Ning Li sneered, "Yongning herb business is a million profits, how many scattered medicine merchants want to enter this place every year, the so-called three mountains and four villages in Yongning Prefecture, bandits are everywhere, in fact, it is a wall used by the business alliance to protect their own interests, and now the wall has been demolished, there are more than one or two people affected, Lianjia, as the leader of Yongning Pharmacy, must rebuild the wall in the shortest possible time, otherwise when the news leaks out, Yongning Pharmacy does not know how much it will lose." β
"I understand, even the family has to rely on the strength of our gym to rebuild the cottage, even if the big shopkeeper is reluctant, he can only pinch his nose and admit it?"
Ning Kang, who finally had some taste, made a tentative judgment.
"That's right, but a businessman wouldn't want to do a loss-making business."
Ning Li smiled with relief: "I feel a loss to do one thing with one money, he is willing to be so generous to compensate ten people for the full amount of pills, and afterwards he has to ask for at least three disciples from our Dao Hall." β
"Three intakes?"
Ning Kang was taken aback: "Want so much?" β
"Idiot, does he have to give it to us if he wants it?"
Ning Li was speechless: "Danxia Mountain was broken, Lianjia was the biggest loss, not to mention that the slaves ran away, and burned the Red Mansion before leaving." With such a deep hatred, even the roots will never give up, but for the one who destroyed the door alone, not to mention three products, thirty products may not be enough, although the disciples are all cattle, but it can't be made by him like this! β
"This.... The child doesn't quite understand, didn't we accept each other's pills, isn't it good not to send someone? β
Ning Kang scratched his head, the young man was thin-skinned, and he couldn't pull his face down.
"What elixir?"
Ning Li smiled: "You remember, my father is just here to catch up with the big shopkeeper today, without the slightest interest, and there is no pill!" β
"Didn't you just say ....."
Ning Kang was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but was knocked on the head by a chestnut.
"Smack!"
"Stinky boy, listen well, study hard, don't speak, you, you're still tender!"
β¦β¦
A few days later, in the Lianjia Fort and the Roots Mansion
"Humble martial artist, Enron deceived me like this!"
The tea cup fell to pieces on the ground, and even the chest of the big shopkeeper rose and fell like a bellows, "A group of dogs are crumb, and they don't do anything after receiving the pills, how can this be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable!" β
"It seems that several avenues and pavilions have been frightened by Lou Hong, but in fact, they are not the only ones."
Lian Ling smiled bitterly: "After the death of a few guys, I sent a middle-grade master to level the three cottages in two days, and also built the heads of the bandits into a Beijing view, and I heard that Zheng Qian promised the families of the victims in front of the three Beijing temples that the three mountains would not be destroyed, and this revenge would not end, this is shouting to us." At the moment, the strategy of killing people with a knife does not work, so do you really ask the warriors cultivated in the clan to fight? β
"Outsiders can't be trusted, so we can only come by ourselves."
Liangen's eyes were red, "Let's go, go with me to ask the patriarch!" β
