Chapter 56 Passing by in the rainy night
Chapter 56 Passing by in the rainy night
There is more than just a wall between the inner and outer cities, and what the people in the outer city lack is more than just a set of clothes.
Many of their usual conversations were secretive to the people from the outer city. Wang Gong tried to start a conversation several times but was unable to get a word in.
For example, they talked about the Divine Guard Army and the List of Hundred Martial Arts Schools.
Zhelong City, the best place in the prefecture, has been fought over for more than a thousand years, and countless forces want to settle in it.
There was a curious person who recorded all the martial arts that had flourished in the Zhelong Prefecture over the past thousand years and compiled a list of hundreds of martial arts schools.
There are many martial arts that only appeared briefly, or even those that have been lost for dozens or hundreds of years. It is estimated that no more than half of them are still in existence, and most of them are in the Divine Weapon Valley.
As for the Divine Guards, the people who were talking were vague and only spoke a few vague words, but Li Yuan still heard Qiu Long's name.
It seems that he is from the Divine Guards...
"What a huge monster!"
Li Yuan was shocked.
"I heard that Miss Lu's aunt has passed on the 'Heavenly Cicada Sword Technique'? I heard that it is a superior martial art that ranks in the top 30 of the Hundred Martial Arts List?"
"Auntie should have passed on some of it."
Lu Bailing was a little proud, which caused a commotion in the private room.
Superior martial arts were something that was out of reach even for their parents, so they longed for it even more.
"The Heavenly Cicada Sword Technique is one of the five secret and superior martial arts of the inner sect of the Divine Weapon Valley. My aunt is just a beginner..."
Many people were asking questions, but Lu Bailing didn't want to talk too much. She just said a few humble words, which attracted another wave of exclamations and flattery.
The Hundred Martial Arts Rankings...
Li Yuan's men continued to move forward, but he became secretly alert in his heart.
If this list counts all martial arts over the past thousand years, then the Bingdao Dousha Hammer, which ranks 18th, is probably much more important than he imagined...
"Superior martial arts are difficult to learn and master. I heard that even in the Divine Weapon Valley, only the most elite disciples can learn some of them..."
Liu Zheng was filled with envy and awe.
Lu Bailing no longer mentioned this matter, and instead talked about the entrance examination.
"In early March next year, the gates of the Divine Weapon Valley will be opened. All the forces in the counties under the jurisdiction of Zhelong Prefecture will have a lot of quotas...
The competition will be fierce, we are from the same place, so we should help each other..."
Is this what the party is for?
Li Yuan understood. For him, the party was over.
The person who helped each other couldn't possibly be him...
After eating and drinking, Li Yuan stood up to say goodbye. The people in the private room were talking to each other, and only Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and a few others nodded at him.
Before leaving, he faintly heard Wang Gong's voice:
"Hmph! He has a medium to low physique. I'm afraid there may not be a vacancy when the time comes! Instead of bringing him here, Senior Brother Yue might as well bring Niu Gui. He has a medium to high physique after all..."
……
……
"Bone."
After leaving Yizi Restaurant, Li Yuan thought of the White Ape Fundamental Map again.
The best bones have their own reputations. For example, Qin Xiong's bones are called "tiger back and bear waist", which is most suitable for the Tiger Roaring Sword, while the most suitable for the White Ape Cloak Hammer are naturally the ape arms, bee waist and mantis legs.
"After the second shopkeeper left, did the map fall into Yu Zhen's hands?"
Li Yuan was thinking about this.
It was still early at this time, so he was in no hurry to go back. He strolled around the inner city and then went to Chaiyufang. When it got dark, he saw dark clouds covering the moon, so he turned back home.
He had been waiting for this rain for many days.
Inside the house, Li Yuan took out the things he had prepared earlier.
Under the candlelight, he changed into a gray linen suit, a common style, and covered his face with rags. He was looking at himself in the bronze mirror: "Disguise is really a science. It's not good to just cover the face. If it's someone I know, I guess I can recognize him by looking at his eyes, right?"
After thinking for a moment, he pulled the rag up to cover one eye.
"Well, it's almost done now."
After looking in the mirror and making sure that he looked like a stranger, Li Yuan let his hair down again, blew out the candle, and quickly walked out the door.
With his blood and energy fully developed, and the power of a thousand pounds from controlling the 'Jingjing Bronze Hammer', Li Yuan felt his steps become very fast. With a little effort, he could climb up a four or five meter wall, and with a little leverage, he could flip over.
"It's true that the environment changes people. It's only been eight months, but I've become so courageous. No, I'm also forced into this situation. I can't wait until someone hits me before I fight back, right?"
Li Yuan walked briskly on the tiles, listening to the whistling night wind. He felt a bit like the thrill of the ancient knights flying over eaves and walls.
But he was very calm and walked around the streets and alleys of Chaiyufang in these three days.
He knew where people were patrolling, where people were keeping watch, and where people were walking around at night.
"Qian Bao's house!"
Li Yuan paused slightly and bent down. He could faintly hear sighs and gnashing of teeth from inside the house.
Ever since he was deposed by him, Qian Bao has been bedridden. Without Qin Xiong's protection, not only have the ruffians he had previously won over fled, but the people he had previously harmed came to him to settle accounts. It was truly miserable.
"Forget it. Even if I recover, I'll still be a useless person. I can't be a scoundrel anymore."
After listening for a while, Li Yuan turned over and left.
There is no moon tonight and the sky is quite dark with dark clouds gathering. Although it has not rained yet, the city is already very quiet. Apart from the occasional barking of dogs, there is no other sound.
After the incident at Fajiu Mountain, the city guards searched every house thoroughly, and countless ruffians suffered. It was very quiet at night.
"It's all in vain. He's the only one with a light on at night!"
Li Yuan was lying on the roof of a house. From a distance, he could see the place where Qin Xiong's mistress lived. The small courtyard with two entrances and two floors was very eye-catching.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Li Yuan lowered his head, hiding in the darkness, and glanced around with his peripheral vision. He saw a black shadow flash by in the distance, and its speed was not much slower than his.
"Tsk, it's really easier to get things done in the dark and windy night. Whose family does this belong to?"
After hiding for a long time, Li Yuan finally showed his head. He couldn't control what others did. After being careful and alert and making sure there was no one around, he rushed to Qin Xiong's mistress's house.
Before leaving, he also sensed the military talisman.
The Master Craftsman's Hammer and the Jade Bronze Hammer were glowing faintly, and the Liuhe Boots were already in a position where they could be controlled at any time.
Two days ago, he tried to control this pair of shoes.
He can walk as fast as flying as if walking on flat ground, and with the help of a thousand pounds of force, his speed can be more than doubled.
This was his final preparation.
If you can fight, fight.
If you can’t beat them, just run away.
……
"It seems there is someone else?"
The tall figure shuttled between the shadows, looking into the distance as if he had noticed something, but he didn't care. It was normal for rainy nights to be full of things.
Click!
There seemed to be lightning flashing in the sky.
“The rain is coming!”
Qin Xiong felt a little cold in his heart and quickened his pace.
Three generations of the Li family have already suppressed two generations of his family. Now that they have fallen into poverty, it would be best for them to remain so!
call!
Qin Xiong landed in the yard with a rise and fall, as strong as a bear, and landed silently.
He flexed his five fingers, strode towards the house, tilted his ear slightly, and frowned:
"Hmm... no breathing sound? Where is the person? Where did he go..."
