The half-grown boy covered his reddened left cheek, his eyes full of fear.

"Cleaned you up today because you didn't follow the rules."

He Tsai pointed to the nose of his peers in front of him and said, "Since you have joined the Copper Buckle Gang, you have to abide by the rules of the gang." ”

"Clams, in the past, when you were bullied and didn't have anything to eat, the gang covered you, and now you won't be able to do something? Still want to run halfway through? ”

He Tsai lifted a thin hemp rope around his neck, and a copper button hung from the rope.

"This thing isn't for watching."

"Now I'm here to tell you the rules, and the next time you'll see the Bronze Hand Boss. At that time, I hope you have figured out which hand you are going to lose, or which leg you are going to lose. ”

The young man on the other side turned pale with fright: "I don't dare, I don't dare." ”

"Quit? Balls. ”

He Tsai pretended not to hear clearly.

He grinned, revealing the missing front tooth: "I'll take you to the boss, are you ready for your own ransom?" ”

"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll bring the goods, I'll bring the goods! ”

The clam trembled and said, "I won't want to run anymore, I will definitely bring the gang's things." ”

"That's right."

Hezai put his arm around the other party's shoulders: "Look, it's actually not difficult for you to bring something, a little seed, and some paper, packed in underwear and clothes, it's fine." ”

"Those soldiers won't check, and even if they do, you say you don't know what it is. You really don't know, do you? ”

"If it's a big deal, you will be in prison for a few days, and you will come out in a month at most, and your brothers are waiting for you outside."

The boy nodded numbly.

"As long as you follow the rules, everyone is still a good brother. The gang won't let you stay here for the rest of your life, the last wave left at the age of sixteen, and you still have two or three years to go. The gang covers everyone, and everyone does things for the gang until everyone quits the gang when they are adults, which is fair, right? ”

Hezai smiled and patted him on the back: "Go back and wash your face, get ready, and bring the goods tomorrow." ”

Seeing the clam leave in despair, Ah Zheng next to him said, "Will he go honestly?" Won't run halfway through? ”

"Let it be."

He Tsai shrugged, grabbed a piece of gum from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, "He chooses for himself." If the run is successful, then I wish him to run farther, if he is discovered, it will be a broken hand and foot. ”

"Ah Zheng, you and Clam both joined the gang two months ago, and you are much smarter than him."

Hezai's cheeks stirred: "How about the goods you brought last time?" ”

"It's going well."

Ah Zheng is a quiet-looking teenager, who looks twelve or thirteen years old, and he is more like a fugitive boy than Hezai, who has a wheat complexion and wears an adult's skin vest.

And that's exactly what happened.

When he first saw Ah Zheng, he was forking fish with a tree branch, and the water was very shallow, there was no grass or fish.

So Hechai first invited him to eat some fried melon seeds, and then asked him if he was out to play or if he was separated from others.

When I asked, I found out that Ah Zheng was a person from the Anvil Federation of the Resurrection Kingdom, and his ancestors were immigrants from Yancheng. His father was bewitched by the devil, and not only dedicated all his family property to the devil, but also bled Ah Zheng as a sacrifice to the devil.

Ah Zheng beat his father to the point that his head was covered in blood, and then escaped. He didn't dare to go back, so he could only wander in the secret art country.

Ha Tsai discovers that Ah Ching is naturally powerful, can easily lift large rocks, and can also uproot small trees with his bare hands. He invited him to join the Copperbuckle Gang.

The Copper Buckle Gang is a very small gang in the Secret Art Country, and they do small things that can't be put on the table.

But no matter how small the gang is, it is a mountain in front of the children.

And the members of the Copper Buckle Gang are all half-grown children, because what the gang does, it must be a child.

He Tsai chewed gum and put his hands in his wide pockets: "How about it, it's easier to bring goods than you think, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Ah Zheng looked to the other side, where there was a large road not far away, which could lead all the way to the various city-state areas of the Mystic Kingdom.

"Just cross the border with you, it's not difficult."

Ha Tsai likes Ah Zheng's point, and he will do it when he asks him to work, never looking ahead or backward, and not asking questions.

"The goods brought by the gang are not serious contraband, they are usually all kinds of rose seeds of the Yao clan, and some fake bonds."

"Rose seeds are very common in the market, whether they are mild green roses, white roses, sand roses or cloud roses. The goods brought are mixed with killer black roses, this thing is a controlled product, and it can't be passed normally. ”

"These seeds cannot be produced repeatedly, and if you want to get new Yao roses, you have to buy seeds. The gang is just transporting goods and making a smuggling proceeds. Even if the child with the goods is caught, the prison time will not be long. ”

He spits out the gum and sticks it to a piece of peeling bark.

"And then there are fake bonds. This is a superb handiwork, and the paper used to make city bonds is very difficult to make, and it is a hybrid of raw edge paper and cotton paper, and it feels very special. ”

Leaning against a tree, he said, "And then there's the print on the paper." The printing technology of the Yao people now uses specific patterns and colors, as well as serial numbers that represent different cities, and it is difficult to achieve a very close degree, and it is also a difficult problem to mix printing and dyeing pigments. ”

"I heard that Yaocheng has been gradually using crystal structure printing and dyeing, using sand elements for coating patterns, and you can identify them with elemental crystal structures. If it is really fully implemented, it will be more difficult to imitate. ”

Ah Zheng frowned slightly: "Why do you want to tell me these secrets?" ”

"Because your appearance is so eye-catching, after a trip to bring goods, those soldiers at the border are easy to remember, so the next time you bring goods will be at least a year later. When it comes to bringing goods, the more ordinary the look, the better, and clams are the most suitable. ”

The Copper Buckle Gang needs the children in the gang to bring the goods, and usually the street children are not easy to be suspected, and they do not carry many goods, which is not easy to be noticed and raided.

On the pretext of studying and looking for work, the members of the gang went to the resurrection kingdom to meet with people and bring things from there.

Ha Tsai said: "You can recruit people in the rear with me, teach new people, and then wait for the withdrawal of the gang and get severance pay." ”

"Do you want to quit?"

"Could it be that you still want to keep working in the Copper Buckle Gang?" Ha Tsai scoffed.

Ah Zheng asked, "There's no way to become the leader?" Or further promotion or something? ”

"Hey, you kid wants to be the boss."

He Tsai took a tomato out of his pocket and took a big bite.

"The Copperbuckle Gang is like this. The bronze hand boss was originally a boss of the Red and White Society, but later came out to work alone and established the Copper Buckle Gang. Then, in fact, it has a certain relationship with the Red and White Society, but in fact, we are closer to the [Black Ring Trading Company]. ”

Ah Zheng showed a surprised expression on his face: "The Black Ring Trading Company is in the Resurrection Kingdom, and the goods it took were all ...... from them."

"Who knows? Don't think that the Black Ring Trading Company is just an ordinary chamber of commerce, it is one of the organizations that has spun off from the [Black Church]. ”

Talking about the gang power of the Mystic Country, Ha Tsai is like a few treasures: "When the Holy Church was sanctioned after being found out by the Investigation Bureau, there was no choice but to split the organization into several parts. The original [Black Sanctuary] focused on rituals, secret arts, spells, and folklore, and the split [Black Ring Trading Company] and other groups went specifically to engage in secular activities. ”

"But we don't have any affiliation with these big gangs, we're more like an errand runner. It's so safe, be a little person, so as not to run into big trouble. ”

Ah Zheng was silent.

He Tsai ate the tomatoes one by one and licked the juice on his fingers: "Let's go, I still have to see a big brother." ”

Ah Zheng's eyes lit up: "The big brother of the other gangs?" Can you give me a referral? ”

"Not ......"

Ha Tsai had a strange expression on his face: "You kid is really so persistent in gangs?" The eldest brother I saw this time was a serious man, he was around these days and used to take good care of me in the past. Not what you think. ”

……

In the tents on the edge of the river, Hezai found the old man.

"Hezai, I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing?"

Bo Yi came over steamingly.

He has short hair, a towel wrapped around his neck, and an uncovered upper body showing well-proportioned and flexible muscle lines, the whole person is like a tiger returning from hunting, and the young male body contains explosive power that cannot be triggered.

"Brother Yi, you are stronger than before."

He Zai laughed and handed the other party a tomato.

Bo Yi took it and took a big bite.

Ha Tsai remembers the first time he met Bo Yi, he was being punched and kicked by the thugs of the Copper Buckle Gang, but he was just squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and being skillfully beaten.

For ordinary people who don't have any special abilities, it's basically difficult to resist in the face of a group of gangsters.

The reason is that ordinary people generally do not dare to attack with lethal weapons such as knives and hammers, while the thugs are experienced in fighting and win in momentum. When you want to resist desperately when you are beaten, it is too late, and at this time you are usually knocked to the ground and have no power to fight back.

At that time, that scene strengthened the determination of the Ho Tsai Gang: if you can't beat it, join it!

He didn't want to be beaten like Bo Yi, but he felt that the other party was quite pitiful. So after everyone was gone, Ho Tsai went over and helped him up.

"It was deliberate, I comprehended [ascetic] from [theology], and comprehended and practiced through suffering."

Bo Yi shook the dust off his body and said indifferently: "I advise them to disband the gang, go to the temple and library to study the Gospel of the Gods, and reform themselves, otherwise they will all go to jail." And then they went berserk......"

Only then did he know that this Brother Yi was not the kind of soft persimmon.

He took the initiative to find fault.

Soon Bo Yi will not be satisfied with being beaten by the group, the ascetic's endurance will continue to improve, and ordinary pain has tasted like chewing wax, and it will not allow him to make any progress. So he left the neighborhood and went the other way.

He participated in the "Praise the Father Chasing the Sun" activity, which was an unlimited day-by-day running practice organized by Da Huali.

About running day by day, Ha Tsai also knows a little bit.

The activity is more akin to a frenetic ritual of worship, chasing the sun on the ground and recording the different directions of one's own shadow, which sounds eeriely absurd.

There are still a lot of participants.

There are the ancestors of the Resurrection Kingdom, the people of the Street Lamp Society, and some locals of the Secret Art Country.

As time went on, a large number of runners fainted and were injured, and some even died.

Gradually, the news that Dahuali was actually a demon boasting his father spread.

It is said that the purpose of this activity is to burn the life of every runner and transform it into the power of Kuafu through rituals.

Bo Yi's reason for joining was simple, he needed to sharpen his cultivation with more intense pain.

He felt that he would die in this strange run.

Because so far, the runners have either given up injured or have been unable to support themselves for various reasons, and there are fewer and fewer people following the demon Kuafufu.

However, Bo Yi ran for five years.

"You may not believe it."

Bo Yi swallowed the tomato in a big gulp, and a hearty smile appeared on his face: "This running practice we have carried out can make every participant strong and energetic. ”

Hezai snorted: "Brother Yi, if that was really the case, so many people wouldn't have died before." ”

"A matter of methodology."

Bo Yi said seriously: "Running against the sun for a long time is also very dangerous for the transcendent. ”

"The light element will directly stimulate the whole body and easily burn the body, while the water element will escape in large quantities in a short period of time, causing the runner to fall into extreme thirst. So be equipped with enough water, and it is best to run in the morning and evening, rest and relax properly in the middle of the day. ”

"Warming up before running can help you avoid injuries such as soreness, cramps, and abdominal pain. Stretch your body after running to keep your body flexible and reduce fatigue and wear. ”

"Another is not to blindly pursue speed, to keep breathing, and to pay attention to the elemental balance of your body at all times."

"Also prepare appropriate clothes and shoes to reduce body exposure and pain, and pay attention to keeping warm in winter."

"These are the experiences we have summed up in the past few years of running. If you can do these things well, you won't get hurt like before. ”

"With the blessing and divine revelation of God Yao, I have found an endless path of cultivation!"

Ha Tsai muttered to himself.

Wrong.

How does Brother Yi feel that he has changed from that ascetic to a crazy runner? Could it be that he was brainwashed and transformed by the demon Kuafu?

"So, let me show you what I've done over the past few years. Try to touch my upper body with your hand, and I will stay still. ”

Bo Yi stood quietly.

But Ha Tsai felt that he had become completely different, as if there was an indescribable power haunting him.

He raised his hand and reached out to Pak Yi, but no matter how much he waved his arm, he couldn't reach the other person's body. As if he could predict his movements in advance, Bo Yi moved his upper body calmly and simply, so that Ha Tsai always seemed to be facing the air, and he couldn't catch it.

What kind of spell is this??

Hechai was shocked.

The indescribable feeling in Bo Yi's body suddenly disappeared.

He raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and slowly closed them: "The various forces exerted by the body are different forms of movement. ”

"Mastering and fitting the laws of movement, entering the [flow] state in a short period of time, the people around me will all become slow motion in my eyes, and I can cross them as I want, this is the characteristic of the [athlete] profession."

"I saw through your every move."
