Chapter 6: The Riverside Mill

"Oh, manage the mill!" Lu Zhan was a little disappointed in his heart, the mill was not in the Lu Mansion, and He Feng, who wanted to take the opportunity to approach the nursing hall, seemed to be a little far away.

But he thought about it for a while: from another point of view, it is not a good thing to go to the mill to work as an officer, first, it can be regarded as officially entering the circle of servants of the Lu Mansion; second, the location of the mill is relatively remote, and no one usually goes there, so he can meditate and practice there to improve his combat skills.

Just as Lu Zhan was thinking about it and didn't answer for a while, Steward Qiu looked at his thinking eyes, and suddenly lowered his face: "What's the matter?"

Uncle Ding hurriedly continued: "Hey, if you don't want to, forget it, the work there is quite heavy, how can he do it as a child." ”

Steward Qiu stared at Lu Zhan fiercely, spewed out a cloud of disdainful turbidity from his nose, and said in a sharp voice: "Our Steward Liu exalts you kid like this, don't toast and don't eat and drink......"

Lu Zhan had already made up his mind, and immediately put on a harmless smile and said: "Uncle Qiu, don't get me wrong, I didn't say I wouldn't go, I was thinking about how to do the work of the mill well, I was afraid that people would not be able to do the work there well, but they would ruin the good intentions of Steward Liu." ”

"Well, I love to hear that, young man, and children can be taught. Steward Qiu's face softened slightly: "You're afraid that you won't be able to do a good job, so don't worry about that, you have to learn to do everything from scratch." Who in the house didn't learn it step by step and did it? But you kid seems to be quite clever, I believe you can do it. Okay, I've got you covered, and if it's all right, let's go to the mill tomorrow and do some work. After speaking, he said to Uncle Ding: "The words have been delivered, let's go, let this child prepare well." ”

Uncle Ding glared at Lu Zhan vigorously, stopped talking, and finally sighed deeply and walked away behind Steward Qiu.

In the middle of the night, Lu Zhan fell asleep.

The moonlight outside the window was projected on him through the broken window, and then he did that strange dream againβ€”

In his dream, he was still standing in the deep ancient cave, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the dome of the ancient cave was dotted with stars, and everything around him was reflected as a virtual shadow.

Only the huge stone wall in the middle is clearly visible, and the golden characters on the stone wall were originally frozen. But when Lu Zhan's attention was on the stone wall, those words actually swam, like a school of fish in the rivers and lakes cruising to the east and west for a while.

They seemed to have their own souls, slowly turning in circles on the stone wall, Lu Zhan looked at the golden words that were circulating, at first he only felt that they were moving there irregularly, but looking at it, he felt a little that those golden words had formed several circles of golden tracks like human veins.

Lu Zhan stood in front of the stone wall, looking at the golden characters that circulated back and forth along a fixed trajectory, feeling very strange, and his intuition told him that the veins composed of these golden characters must be related to the abnormal changes in his body after his previous adventure in the mountains.

But he was reluctant to touch the stone wall in front of him, because the experience of the crystal breaking in the cave last time was too painful, and now when he recalled it, he still felt a palpitation.

"It is said that those martial arts masters have to exercise their bloodlines when they cultivate, could it be that the patterns on this stone wall are the so-called human body veins?" Lu Zhan thought to himself: "Could it be that this stone wall is actually some kind of profound martial arts technique?"

He wouldn't have thought that way before. But now that he has just experienced a series of adventures, his ideas and insights have naturally broken through the constraints of the past and reached a higher level, and his inference will naturally be more accurate to the topic.

His eyes were fixed on the golden veins, imagining that there were the same veins in his body, and then imagining that his blood was moving with the same veins......

After about two pillars of incense, Lu Zhan, who was lying on the bed, had some different changes, only to see the milky white breath exhaled from his nasal cavity, gradually changing from shallow to deep, and then condensed into a white line, the white line suddenly sprayed out of the nostrils, flew out two feet and then retracted back into the nasal cavity, the white line was still very blurry at first, but as the breathing continued to increase, the white line became thicker and thicker, and became clearer and clearer......

The next day, when Lu Zhan woke up, he felt that his muscles and bones were particularly stretched, and the sensations of his facial features were also very keen. In particular, the muscles are significantly stronger than usual, and I can even feel that the tendons in my body are a little tougher.

He thought carefully about what he had seen in his dream last night, and unlike the time in the cave, this time he could actually remember some of the scenes in his dream, especially the stone wall, and the vein diagram of the evolution of the golden characters on the stone wall, which were very clearly imprinted in his mind.

"Ha, is this really a map of advanced martial arts exercises?" Lu Zhan said to himself in surprise: "I just don't know if I can beat He Feng's guy after practicing the kung fu on this map?" I heard that the guards of the Lu Mansion are all very powerful characters, especially those boss-level characters, and they can defeat more than a dozen ordinary strong men with one move. ”

Although he was a little unconfident, he felt that he was still very young, and as long as he had perseverance and perseverance, he would definitely be able to avenge his father.

Yunmeng City is located at the confluence of the Tianxu River, the Chu River and the Yiyang River. The Lu family's mill is located on the banks of the Yiyang River, and the mill is powered by the turbulent river, and the huge water wheel drives the grinding wheel to serve the Lu family and their tenants.

When Lu Zhan came to the mill, it was not yet the busy season for production, so in the first few days, his work was very pleasant.

When he had nothing to do, he practiced throwing stones by the river, and in order to enhance his physical strength, he also went to the market to buy two of the largest stone locks, and when he came back, he threw stone locks to exercise his strength according to the martial artists in the martial arts hall.

At night, he couldn't wait to climb into bed, and the same dreams would always come as scheduled, and the golden words on the stone walls would appear in his dreams every night.

After practicing like this for more than ten days, his physique changed significantly.

First of all, the originally thin body began to plump up, the muscle lines on the arms became clearer, and the green muscles on the fair skin were violent, making it look very strong and powerful.

Then, his reflexes began to become surprisingly fast, often a small fish swam by the river, as long as he stretched out his hand, he would definitely be able to catch the swimming fish accurately, and there was no chance of escaping.

In the end, his senses were already surprisingly sharp, and within ten feet, even an ant crawling over could be clearly detected by him.

That night, he went to bed early, as usual. In the middle of the night, in his sleep, he suddenly felt a strange change in the air flow outside the mill, and his mind suddenly became clear, and he immediately woke up from his dream.

Lu Zhanhu sat up on the bed and listened attentively to the movements around him.

Sure enough, on the path outside the mill, there was a faint step on the grass. The movement was so slight and swift that it did not resemble the footsteps of ordinary people.

Something with bad intentions is approaching!

Lu Zhan was stunned, quickly put on his clothes, pushed the door and walked out of the mill.

Silver moonlight sprinkled the earth, and on the path leading to the mill was a black figure. The figure obviously didn't expect Lu Zhan to suddenly come out of the mill, his footsteps stopped, and then he accelerated his kick, and his body flew diagonally, flying over the wooden fence outside the mill like a swallow, and turned over and landed in front of Lu Zhan.

"Is it you?" Lu Zhan saw clearly, it was He Feng.

"Yes, it's me. He Feng's eyes flashed with a burning cold light, and he said gloomily: "Boy, you seem to know that I am coming?"

Lu Zhan was a little nervous at this time, and finally stood face to face in front of this father-killing enemy. But he tried his best to be unusually calm on his face, and said in the same cold tone: "Yes, I know that sooner or later there will be such a day. ”

"You know?" A flash of surprise flashed on He Feng's face, "The stinky boy seems to know a lot of things." ”

"I know that your father was killed by you, isn't that right?" Lu Zhan said proudly as he met his opponent's cold present.

"Hey, yes, absolutely. He Feng readily admitted that for him, the young man in front of him was already dead, and it was impossible to leave their secret until tomorrow when the sun rose.

Lu Zhan's fists clenched violently, only to hear a few "pop" joints, the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed, and a soaring murderous aura rushed straight towards He Feng, he asked hatefully: "Why did you kill my father?"

He Feng was shocked by Lu Zhan's sudden murderous aura, this sudden momentum made him a little stunned, how could this kid have such a terrifying aura?

This kind of momentum can only appear when that kind of martial arts cultivation has reached the peak realm of body refining!

Although he was surprised in his heart, he still didn't want to believe that the boy in front of him, who was more than ten years younger than himself, had such a high level of ability, he preferred to believe that it was just because he was too excited to kill people tonight, and his feelings were wrong.

So he laughed dryly twice to hide the surprise in his heart, and then said, "This is a question, you go to the underworld and ask your dead ghost father." ”

Lu Zhan's eyes narrowed, his eyes full of hatred stared at the other party tightly, and he did not answer.

He Feng sneered: "Uncle, my martial arts have been practiced to the middle stage of the body refining realm! It's easy for your little bastard dog to take your life, boy, obediently accept your fate!"

Before he could finish speaking, the person who had seen him leap up in the air and jump to the top of Lu Zhan's head.

The right palm was vertical, like the top of Mount Tai directly splitting the young man's heavenly spirit cover.

Lu Zhan saw a figure leaping straight above his head, the clothes blown by the night wind covered the moon in the sky, and the palm that chopped down carried the sound of hunting and hunting, like a thunderbolt covering his big head.

This was the first time he had no combat experience to face a martial arts expert with rich combat experience, and he was inevitably a little timid, and he didn't even know what suitable move to use to fight this sharp blow.

Instinctively, he crossed his arms and raised his muscles to meet the severed palm.

"Click!!" There was a sound of broken bones and tendons.

He Feng only felt a tingling pain in his wrist that was slashed on the opponent's arm, and then saw his wrist bone bend at an unbelievable angle.

"Ahh

He Feng landed on his feet, endured the pain in his heart, staggered back two steps with his right wrist, looked at Lu Zhan opposite him as if he was looking at a ghost, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... How is it possible? When did you practice martial arts? ...... It's so powerful!"
