Chapter 94 You Want to Follow My Path

Chapter 94 You Want to Follow My Path

In less than three days, all the forces inside and outside Gaoliu that participated in the ambush and murder of Qiu Long collapsed. Those who were deeply involved, from ordinary gang members to leaders, chiefs, and shopkeepers, were all killed.

The cells were filled with those implicated.

The Yiqi Inn, Sanhe Gang, Chai Gang, Fishing Gang and other forces were all confiscated and banned, and the house deeds, land deeds and indentures were all piled up in the county government office.

It really let the people of Gaoliu know what the sky of Zhelong Palace is.

Gaoliu County Yamen is a six-courtyard building facing north and south. There is a pair of stone lions squatting at the door and two yamen runners standing there. People come in and out in an endless stream.

It was Li Yuan’s first time to visit the government office. He walked through the main gate and entered the ceremonial gate. Facing him was the three-bay hall with flying eaves and towering majesty.

The county magistrate led the clerks to count the boxes of seized goods.

In the lobby, Han Chuijun was reclining in a chair, listening to the report from County Lieutenant Liu Bin.

"... In total, we got 18,600 taels of silver, more than 1,300 taels of gold, 163 house deeds, and land deeds...

1,672 body sales contracts, 8,400 hectares of land..."

"Two thousand and one hundred ordinary weapons, two hundred and thirty sharp swords, seventy-three top-grade sharp swords, six sets of inner armor, and three sets of heavy armor!"

"Heavy armor?"

Han Chuijun opened his eyes: "Who is so bold?"

"Someone in Gaoliu County actually hides heavy armor?"

Li Yuan was also a little surprised.

Dayun does not ban swords and weapons, only crossbows and armor, especially heavy armor. As the saying goes, one piece of armor is worth three crossbows, and three pieces of armor can send you to the underworld.

Three pieces of heavy armor are enough to confiscate the property and destroy the clan.

"Sanhe Gang, Neichengwei Family, Yiqi Inn, each of these three families has hidden a piece of heavy armor."

Liu Bin bowed and answered with great courtesy.

"In martial arts fights, inner armor is enough. These three families hid heavy armor. They are indeed up to something bad!"

Han Chuijun glanced at Li Yuan.

The latter hurriedly replied: "Master, please understand. There is no heavy armor in the weapon forging shop..."

As he spoke, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he thought of Cao Yan's secret room. Zhang Ben had never been into that secret room and he didn't know where it was.

But he guessed that those families all had heavy armor hidden, so Cao Yan might not have some too. It was even possible that they all came from the weapon forging shop.

"The Cao family has been completely executed, so it doesn't matter if there are any left."

Han Chuijun let it go with just a few words, and Liu Bin couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, feeling envious.

This kid has ascended to heaven in one step. This is...

"continue."

Li Yuan walked to the desk and looked at the thick stack of house deeds, land deeds and field deeds, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Compared to cash, these are the foundation of these forces. The most prosperous streets in the inner and outer cities, the best locations, and the most fertile fields are all here.

No, we are still missing the weapon forge...

"...There are still 142 people in the cell who have not been dealt with. I wonder if Mr. Han..."

After listening to Liu Bin's report, Han Chuijun sat up straight:
"Most of those involved have been killed. As for these low-level people, it doesn't matter. We can interrogate them, record them as innocent, and then send them away."

"Yes!"

Liu Bin nodded quickly and took note of it.

"These land deeds and house deeds..."

Han Chuijun glanced at Li Yuan, whose heart skipped a beat. He shook his head again:

"Register it under the name of the City Guards and rent it out to merchants at a price 30% lower than the market price. As for the land, find someone to rent it out and collect 20% rent!"

"Mr. Han is really kind-hearted!"

Liu Bin's face was full of admiration.

In this day and age, if you rent out your land, you have to collect at least 40% rent, and at most 60% or 70%. These families’ lands are all top-quality fertile land. If it were him, he would have to collect at least 70% rent...

"A kind-hearted person?"

Han Chuijun almost laughed himself, waved his hand and told him to go away.

Liu Bin bowed and retreated, then hurried away with a group of yamen runners. The subsequent arrangements would be much more difficult than confiscating the house.

"The house, land, and deeds of the forge shop should also be dealt with in the same way."

"Yes."

Of course Li Yuan had no objection, since it was not his in the first place.

"For thousands of years, the valley has dealt with rebel forces within the territory in the following way: 30% goes to the valley, 60% goes to the local government, and individuals can only take 10%. Do you know the reason?"

Han Chuijun looked at his humble disciple who had not yet entered the sect.

"To prevent killing innocent people and claiming credit?"

Li Yuan tasted something.

"You are quite clever indeed."

Han Chuijun was a little surprised and nodded:
"Seizing the property of a family and making a fortune by exterminating them is a taboo for all sects. Without this rule, Zhelong Mansion would have been in chaos long ago."

Han Chuijun got up and went out.

Li Yuan followed.

It was very lively inside and outside the yamen. More than a dozen forces collapsed, and it would take more than a moment to count them all.

"By the way, in order to curry favor with me, the Yuan family spent a large sum of money to purchase rare iron materials and asked the forging shop to forge a top-quality heavy hammer?"

After finding a restaurant, Han Chuijun ordered a table full of food and wine, and asked the table staff.

"It is true. The hammer is in the forge now."

Li Yuan stood up to pour the wine. Three days ago, he put the hammer back into the forge room, and Zhang Ben was still doing the final polishing.

"A top-grade heavy hammer is worth about one thousand taels. The iron material would cost about two hundred taels. If you want it, you have to pay for the forging."

Han Chuijun glanced at Li Yuan. The thoughts of this cheap disciple were almost written on his face. It was obvious that he was doing it for him to see.

Cunning boy...

"Thank you, master!"

Li Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly brought the wine.

It would be fine if he didn't get it, but now that he has mastered it, he really can't bear to let it go.

"Look at your potential!"

After glaring at him, Han Chuijun accepted the glass of wine.

At this time, Fang Yunxiu, who had changed into a neat yellow martial arts robe, walked in. Seeing the two of them talking happily, he felt a little admiration in his heart.

Be it her, Sha Pingying, or even the inner sect disciples, none of them could get along so well with this old man Han.

It's simply like-minded?
"Has it been dealt with?"

Han Chuijun put down his wine glass.

"Replying to Mr. Han, it has been handled."

Fang Yunxiu bowed and saluted: "All servants and maids of the Lu Mansion shall be dismissed, and all the land and deeds shall be handed over to the county government. Lu Bailing..."

She paused slightly:
"The disciple will take her back to the valley."

The Lu family is finished too.

Li Yuan placed the dishes and chopsticks on the table for Lady Fang, and his heart sank.

His cheap master was really ruthless and ruthless. Even with Fang Yunxiu's relationship, the Lu family could not escape the disaster.

In fact, if one of the owners of the weapon forging shop had not died, I'm afraid he would have been hard to escape the reckoning.

To be honest, it was the Taoist who saved the weapon forging shop?

"What about martial arts?"

Han Chuijun picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks. He really liked it.

Fang Yunxiu's forehead was covered with sweat: "Master Han...she, she is my disciple's only relative."

"So, you want to keep her, teach her martial arts, help her develop internal strength, and help her master martial arts so that she can kill me and destroy the Divine Weapon Valley?"

Looking at Fang Yunxiu kneeling on the ground, Han Chuijun was a little disappointed:

"How many times do you want me to teach you the principle of cutting the grass at its roots?"

"disciple……"

Fang Yunxiu's face turned pale.

"I spared her life because you begged me to do you a favor..."

Han Chuijun put down his chopsticks:

"Destroy her and keep an eye on her. Otherwise, you know what I will do!"

"Disciple, I understand." Fang Yunxiu's hope was shattered, and his face looked very ugly, with his body shaking.

Li Yuan understood Han Chuijun's logic, but even though he understood it, he was still a little frightened by the fact that he was so cruel to his own people.

For Han Chuijun, getting rid of Lu Bailing was just a piece of cake. With just one word from him, Sha Pingying did it.

But he made it clear that he wanted Fang Yunxiu to kill Lu Bailing personally.

"Old Han is such a ruthless person. If you offend him, you won't be able to sleep peacefully..."

Li Yuan took a sip of wine and felt worried.

"Mr. Han!"

There were the sounds of footsteps outside the door, and a burly man pushed the door open and walked in. It was Sha Pingying.

Li Yuan had met him several times in the past few days. Compared with Fang Yunxiu, this Senior Brother Sha was obviously much more honest and decisive.

Sha Pingying didn't notice that the atmosphere was not right, he sat down and picked up his glass:
"Mr. Han, on my way here I actually ran into a shrew who claimed to be Lu Yunqing's daughter..."

"you?!"

As soon as he spoke, Fang Yunxiu's expression changed drastically:
"Where is she?!"

Sha Pingying seemed to have just realized something was wrong, and his face froze:
"No, not killed, useless..."

boom!
Before Fang Yunxiu could even unsheathe her sword, Sha Pingying had already lifted off the ground, smashed through the window, and fell heavily from the fourth floor onto the street, causing a burst of exclamations.

"Mr. Han, please spare my life!"

Sha Pingying almost fell unconscious, but when he came to his senses he let out a miserable howl and ran away.

"Good guy..."

Li Yuan then realized that he seemed to have underestimated Senior Brother Sha.

This is not honesty at all, it is clearly great wisdom appearing foolish!

Touching his chin, he felt that he had learned something.

With a slap, Sha Pingying was slapped out of the window. Han Chuijun sneered:

"You two are so close to each other! It makes me look so heartless and cruel!"

"roll!"

Old Han got angry and Fang Yunxiu left in embarrassment.

Her face was still pale, but her steps seemed much lighter.

"Useless thing!"

Han Chuijun held the wine glass and glanced at Li Yuan:
"eat fast!"

Li Yuan's face froze, he lowered his head resignedly and ate and drank with big mouthfuls.

This master doesn't seem to be that easy to get along with...

……

Li Yuan ate very quickly and most of the food and wine on the table went into his stomach.

After eating and drinking, the waiter came to clean up the leftovers.

Han Chuijun then spoke:
"Besides the White Ape Cloak Hammer and some of the Military Dao Fighting Hammer, you have only learned some basic horizontal training martial arts, is that right?"

"Yes!"

Li Yuan sat upright.

"not enough."

"not enough?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled: "Ms. Fang said that it is best to master one martial art and not be distracted by other things..."

"That's her way, not your way!"

Han Chuijun shook his head:

"Scholars emphasize teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and the same principle applies to martial arts. Different people have different aptitudes, so different martial arts are suitable for them.
Different talents naturally lead to different paths..."

Han Chuijun spoke calmly.

Li Yuan listened attentively. He was half-self-taught and what he lacked most was a master, so naturally he was extremely attentive.

"There is nothing much to say about internal strength. You just need to cultivate the great circulation of qi and blood. It doesn't matter what kind of martial arts you learn. No matter what martial arts you practice for a long time, you will eventually be able to approach the limit of the human body and cultivate internal strength..."

"To nourish internal energy, you only need to take medicine and pills. To temper the body, it is a process of using various martial arts moves to induce internal energy to cover the blood circulation and nourish the body."

"Internal energy can break stones and split rocks externally, and nourish the whole body internally... When the internal energy covers the blood circulation, the warrior will reach the second limit of the human body..."

At this point, Han Chuijun paused slightly:
"You are born with supernatural power. Once your internal strength is formed, it will be comparable to a warrior with a top-grade body tempering. This is considered a natural talent."

The perfection of body tempering means a force of two thousand kilograms?
Li Yuan understood in his heart, this was almost the same as what he knew.

With the blessing of 'Thousand Jin Strength', his pure explosive power is not inferior to that of a Body Tempering Master, and that is a Body Tempering Master with superior bone structure.

People like Yu Zhen and Wang Ding are not as good as him in terms of body tempering.

"Inferior martial arts have reached their limit at this stage. If the strength enters, it will reach the level of middle-level martial arts. The blood circulation is small, and it is impossible to cultivate internal strength!"

Han Chuijun was quite satisfied with Li Yuan's hard work in cultivating a great circulation of qi and blood.

It's not easy for this kid to control his desires and choose the right path without a master.

"To become strong internally, you must have a large circulation of Qi and blood?"

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

This is the reason why Qin Xiong changed to the Tiger Roaring Sword, right?

"What is internal strength? The foundation is to have internal strength running through the whole body. It is called internal strength if you strengthen yourself from the outside to the inside. Without a large circulation of qi and blood, it is impossible to cover the whole body, let alone from the outside to the inside?"

Han Chuijun continued to speak. He had many disciples and was already familiar with the route:
"When the power enters the body, the warrior breaks the human body's limit for the second time. A warrior with internal strength moves like a fierce tiger and is as fast as an eagle. His power increases so much that he can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. His endurance is amazing, not inferior to that of a wild horse.

The internal energy is interwoven into a network under the skin, like a layer of membrane, and is not afraid of ordinary weapons..."

No wonder Cao Yan is so hard to kill...

No, wasn't the unknown swordsman who had suddenly attacked him before Nei Zhuang?

Li Yuan was thinking in his heart, a little absent-minded.

Han Chuijun stopped at the right time and drank a sip of tea to allow him to digest his memories. After a while, he saw him looking up and said:

"You were born with supernatural powers, and you used a heavy hammer to attack by surprise. Killing Cao Yan in such a wild way is nothing. If it was your Senior Sister Fang or Senior Brother Sha, you would have died at that time..."

"Disciple, please remember this!"

Li Yuan looked solemn.

He hadn't thought of launching a sneak attack on Fang Yunxiu and Sha Pingying, but Han Chuijun's words also reminded him.

To launch a surprise attack on these sect disciples, one must be more careful and take them by surprise...

"Master, where is Yixing?"

Li Yuan took the initiative to ask.

He had asked Fang Yunxiu before, but got no explanation, so he naturally would not miss this rare opportunity.

"As for the change of form, you only need to remember that the four realms of Qi and blood, internal strength, body tempering, and internal strength are just preparations for the change of form..."

"Those who change their forms are no longer human."

Han Chuijun did not hide anything. Seeing that Li Yuan was interested, he talked to him a few more words.

He also looks down on warriors who are ambitious or not.

"Inhuman?"

Li Yuan was stunned.

"Practicing martial arts is a process of strengthening the body and breaking through the limits. Changing form is a way to raise the limits..."

The human body has limits.

In many aspects, they are inferior to other wild beasts, let alone those rare spiritual beasts.

"Shape-changing, as the name suggests, is a method of imitating the myriad beasts, changing one's own bones, and raising the limits of the human body! The more you change your shapes, the deeper your talents, and the stronger your strength."

"Why do sects place great emphasis on physique when recruiting disciples? People with superior physique are born with at least one form, or even two or three forms! For example, Yue Chongtian from the Fire Dragon Temple was born with a 'Red Dragon Form' and is born with nine forms!"

"So, after he changes his form, he is naturally several times, or even dozens of times, stronger than those at the same level!"

Talent and bones!
That's it, that's it...

The more Li Yuan listened, the more shocked he became. As he suddenly understood, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

His path of controlling other fundamental maps and changing his bones is correct!
"It is already extremely difficult for ordinary warriors to cultivate one form, so naturally they just need to follow the steps and dare not go beyond the limit in the slightest."

Han Chuijun was unusually serious:

"But you are gifted. You can practice the White Ape Cloak Hammer to perfection in just one year. Then you are qualified to take another path..."

"That is my path, Yi Baixing!"
