Three days later, Lu Changsheng, dressed in black, with a stern face and a long knife on his back, walked into Zhanhai City.
Zhanhai City is the capital city of Zhanhai Prefecture. It is located on the seaside. Business and trade are very developed, and the entire Zhanhai City is also very prosperous.
Lu Changsheng has completely changed his disguise.
This time when he came to Zhanhai City, he had a completely new appearance, which looked closer to his true age. He was also thin and exuded a cold aura, making him look like he should not be approached by strangers.
He no longer even used a sword, but carried a sword on his back and became a swordsman.
With all the martial arts mastered by Lu Changsheng, whether they were swords or swords, they were all the same.
Lu Changsheng is not planning to use the identity of "Zhuang Shisan" in Zhanhai Mansion.
After all, if you use it too much, people will inevitably notice the clues.
He also gave himself a pseudonym called "Sword Twelve".
Although Dao Twelve and Zhuang Shisan seem to have similar names, they are definitely not related.
Lu Changsheng couldn't even use the silk sword easily.
There are not many people in the world who are named Sword Three, Knife Nine, or Spear Fifteen. These names are just following the crowd.
After entering the city, Lu Changsheng discovered that the prosperity in Zhanhai City was probably ten times more than that in Nanyang City. It was simply too prosperous, and there were people dressed in all kinds of costumes.
Many people are "sea merchants". It is said that they are sea merchants who came from the ocean. They are all very wealthy and rich. As soon as they arrive in Zhanhai City, they purchase all kinds of things, fill up several large ships, and then cross the vast sea. , transport it back to your own country and sell it, earning huge profits.
The Big Fish Dynasty was open to sea trade, so the entire Zhanhai City became increasingly prosperous.
Although the Big Fish Dynasty seemed to be beginning to collapse and was unable to control various places, it did not seem to affect Zhanhai City.
Lu Changsheng was walking on the street and saw some maritime merchants wandering around the city with some servants and guards.
Lu Changsheng was a little confused about those guards. They seemed to be somewhat different from the warriors of the Dayu Dynasty.
But being able to protect maritime merchants across the vast sea, how can it be so easy?
Lu Changsheng had no interest in testing.
He stayed at an inn, ate and drank, and rested for the night.
The next day, Lu Changsheng was in high spirits and came to the beach alone.
There is a lot of sunshine at the beach, and the sea breeze is mixed with a hint of heat and the fishy smell of the sea.
Lu Changsheng looked at the sea in the distance, boundless as far as the eye could see.
However, he did not come to see the sea, he came to appreciate the artistic conception of the three waves.
Triple waves mainly imitate ocean waves.
But what about the waves now?
Looking from the edge of the beach, the sea is calm and there are no waves at all.
"Forget it, wait a little longer, the sea won't be calm all the time."
Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry.
He just sat cross-legged on the beach, motionless despite the scorching sun, and quietly looked at the sea in the distance.
Lu Changsheng's behavior was actually quite strange.
Not far from the beach is the pier.
People were coming and going on the pier, and from time to time, eyes would fall on Lu Changsheng.
"Look, there is a weird man sitting cross-legged on the beach motionless. I have been watching him for at least an hour or two."
"It's quite strange, but judging from the appearance, he should be a warrior from the martial arts world. These warriors from the martial arts world have weird personalities, so you must not disturb them."
"Martial artist? Are you practicing some kind of magical skill?"
Many people looked at Lu Changsheng, but no one dared to approach.
After all, Lu Changsheng's current temperament is very cold, and he looks like he should avoid being approached by strangers. Who dares to bring trouble to get close to him?
In Zhanhai City, there are many warriors who make trouble and fight.
No one would provoke a warrior for no reason.
Lu Changsheng ignored the looks from around him.
He has been waiting quietly.
Finally, he waited for the waves.
In the calm sea in the distance, a wave appeared at some point.
Countless seawater seems to be "carrying" this wave, sweeping in mightily.
This shocked Lu Changsheng who saw "waves" for the first time.
Even in his previous life, Lu Changsheng did not live by the sea. In fact, he had never seen the sea, let alone waves.
Even though you may have seen the sea and the waves through some videos or the like, how can it compare to seeing it with your own eyes?
Now Lu Changsheng is witnessing it with his own eyes.
Not only was he shocked in his heart, but he was also vaguely involved in the third wave.
Wave after wave, isn’t it true that one of the three waves is higher than the other?
"Wow".
The waves were rolling, and a big wave directly wet Lu Changsheng's whole body.
The cold sea water has a wet and salty smell.
Lu Changsheng thought quietly.
"Shua".
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
It was getting dark, and he actually spent a whole day on the beach.
As for enlightenment, I have indeed gained something, but it seems that it is not enough.
"Don't worry, enlightenment doesn't happen overnight. Come back tomorrow."
So, Lu Changsheng got up and left the beach.
The beach was a little far away from the inn where Lu Changsheng lived. It was already dark now, with only a crescent moon, which was not too dark.
"Woooooooo..."
"Help...help."
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng heard a very awkward shout.
The accent sounds very awkward, not like someone from the Big Fish Dynasty.
Lu Changsheng raised his head and glanced at a corner not far away. A woman dressed obviously as a maritime merchant and two men were being grabbed and dragged away by a group of people.
The woman struggled fiercely, but was slapped several times by the group of people, and her face suddenly became swollen.
This is "Fan Shang".
Fan Shang is very common in Zhanhai City, but similarly, there are actually endless incidents targeting Fan Shang.
The Zhanhai City officials turned a blind eye.
This is also the reason why Fanshang hires so many guards.
Lu Changsheng saw the Fanshang woman.
There was panic, expectation, and pleading in his eyes.
However, Lu Changsheng was indifferent.
His character of "Twelve Swordsmen" is that of a pure martial artist.
It doesn't matter if it's none of your business.
If people don’t mess with me, I won’t offend them!
"Sword Twelve" has no chivalrous heart, what he pursues is martial arts.
Therefore, Dao Twelve will not do it when he sees an injustice on the road and draws his sword to help.
Lu Changsheng pretended not to see these people and immediately prepared to go around them.
However, when the group of men in black saw Lu Changsheng, their eyes were a little unkind.
"Brother, what should we do? A warrior passed by and he saw us."
The warrior known as "Big Brother" is probably the leader of a group of men in black.
His eyes were cold and sharp. After glancing at Lu Changsheng, he said in a deep voice: "The power behind Mrs. Fan is quite powerful. We can't let those Fan merchants know that we did it."
"So, kill him!"
The other party is not prepared to leave anyone alive.
Even if it's just a person passing by.
"yes, Sir."
Therefore, several men in black used their physical skills to quickly surround Lu Changsheng and stop him.
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and said in a cold tone: "Passengers, please go to your own way. I don't want to get involved in your affairs, so please give way!"
"Hey, you said you didn't want to get involved, which means you still saw it."
"Some things won't be fine if you don't get involved. Even if you see them, you'll be unlucky."
"It's a good thing that you are still a member of the Jianghu. Jianghu means you have a knife in your hand and you are just right! Remember not to be a Jianghu person in your next life."
Several men in black immediately began to step forward and drew out their bright swords, showing their murderous intentions.
Lu Changsheng's expression did not change at all. He glanced at the men in black and said coldly: "Yes, this is the real world!"
"You are right, having a sword means being reasonable. But I also have a sword!"
"Keng".
After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, the knife on his back was instantly unsheathed.
The simple and unpretentious sword skills flashed a bright light in the dark night.
"Pfft".
The heads of the men in black standing in front of Lu Changsheng moved instantly, and blood spurted out.
"thump".
Several bodies fell to the ground.
This change of scene made the other group of men in black stunned.
Lu Changsheng's face was expressionless. He turned around and walked towards the men in black who captured Fan Shang with his knife in hand.
A group of men in black immediately became restless.
The leading man in black also seemed a little surprised. They seemed to have hit an iron plate. This cold-looking warrior was not simple.
However, this is also very common.
How can you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?
They are veterans, and this kind of thing happens often.
After all, there are many masters in the world, who knows who they might offend?
So, the man in black immediately spoke: "Your Excellency, we were reckless in this matter, and we are willing to apologize to you."
"Here are three thousand taels of silver notes, so I should apologize to you!"
The man in black immediately gave in.
If you hit the iron wall in the arena, you may die if you don't give in.
He was already very familiar with this sort of thing.
As for the few companions who died, it was because they were unlucky and deserved to die.
Revenge or something like that is simply impossible.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the man in black. He did not stop and said coldly: "What your accomplice said before is right. There is a sword in the world and there is a reason!"
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will kill someone!"
"If you meet me, you will be unlucky. Besides, if I kill you, your things will naturally belong to me."
Lu Changsheng had no intention of letting these people go.
"Hmph, do you really think you've got us?"
"We just don't want to cause trouble and make too much noise. Since you are determined to seek death, then we will help you."
The man in black's eyes changed, and he exuded cold murderous intent.
He waved his hand.
"Whoosh whoosh".
Immediately three warriors stepped out from the crowd.
Even he himself rushed towards Lu Changsheng.
All four people released their momentum.
Refining Zang Warrior!
These four people are actually Zang-refining warriors.
It would be fine if they didn't take action, but if they did, they would definitely kill Lu Changsheng with a thunderous force.
There are not so many stupid people in the world, and they are willing to die slowly one by one.
The four great Zang-refining warriors took action together without hesitation.
"You are too slow."
Lu Changsheng held the sword in his hand and did not use any sword skills at all. He just slashed at the four people respectively.
The only feature may be that it is fast!
These four swords were slashed out, but everyone seemed to only see one sword.
"Shua".
The next moment, Lu Changsheng's sword flashed away.
The four Zang-refining warriors froze, and the swords they raised in their hands didn't even have time to drop.
"Plop" four times.
The four Zang-refining warriors all fell to the ground.
"What?"
When the remaining men in black saw that the four Zang-refining warriors were dead, their eyes were full of fear.
"run."
There were about a dozen men in black, and they immediately wanted to run away.
But Lu Changsheng ran three feet away and was in the crowd in an instant, with a flash of the knife in his hand.
The dozen or so men in black fell into a pool of blood.
Lu Changsheng squatted down, wiped the blood on the knife with the body of the man in black, and then sheathed the knife.
He groped for a while on the body of the man in black.
Nothing else was found, but a lot of banknotes and coins were found, probably more than 5,000 taels.
The cost of this trip is enough.
Lu Changsheng was about to leave when Fan Shang behind him, especially the Fan Shang woman, immediately caught up with him.
In this country, business women are called Fan Pozi, which actually has some derogatory connotations.
After all, the entire Big Fish Dynasty didn't look down on these merchants very much.
"My benefactor, please stay."
The Fanshang woman caught up with Lu Changsheng and asked anxiously: "I don't know what to call my benefactor? You saved my life, and I want to repay you."
Fanshang women are very direct.
They are all true-hearted, and if anyone helps them, they will definitely repay the favor.
Especially when she was at her most desperate, seeing Lu Changsheng suddenly appear was like a drop of rain in the desert.
"I'm not helping you, they are seeking death themselves, so there's no need to thank me."
After saying that, Lu Changsheng immediately strode away, no matter how hard the Fanshang woman chased him, he couldn't catch up.
"Sophie, let's go back quickly. It's too dangerous here."
Many businessmen also rushed over to persuade.
Sophie's status is extraordinary. She was lucky to be rescued this time, but what about next time?
"Okay, go back."
Sophie took a deep look at the direction in which Lu Changsheng disappeared, and then quickly left with her companions.
As for the bodies on the ground, no one cares.
Throughout Zhanhai City, there were killings every day, and people died every day. Even if the officials saw the corpses, they would just drag them away and deal with it hastily.
Lu Changsheng returned to the inn.
He didn't pay attention to what happened on the road.
He was just a warrior refining his internal organs, he didn't care at all.
What he cares about is the "enlightenment" he gets at the beach during the day.
"Triple waves need to understand the artistic conception of rolling waves. Although there are some gains today, these gains are not enough."
"We have to continue going to the beach tomorrow."
So the next day, Lu Changsheng went to the beach again and continued to appreciate the artistic conception of waves.
One day, two days, three days...
For three whole days, Lu Changsheng spent at the beach comprehending the artistic conception of waves.
He could already feel that the third wave of the three waves seemed to be very close at hand and might break through at any time.
But I always feel like there's still something missing and I can't make a breakthrough.
At this time, several fishermen were chatting.
"The wind and waves were really strong yesterday. The waves were several feet high. I almost couldn't come back."
"Well, we are afraid of big waves in the sea. Once there are huge waves, our boat will not be able to carry it, and it may be blown away in one wave."
"That's all, there have been frequent storms recently. I will go to sea again in a few days."
These fishermen were all talking about the storm.
The most dangerous thing in the sea is the wind and waves.
If the waves are high and the wind is strong, the fishermen's boats may be smashed into a pile of fragments in an instant and buried in the sea.
"Big waves several feet high..."
Lu Changsheng suddenly raised his head and looked at the sea.
He got it.
The reason why the triple wave has been unable to break through to the third level is very simple.
The waves he saw were too small!
Real big waves or even huge waves can only be seen in the sea.
He has to go to sea!
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng walked directly to the fishermen and asked directly: "You are going to sea to fish, can you take me to sea?"
"Are you going to sea?"
The fishermen shook their heads and said: "No, we are risking our lives when we go fishing. Where can we take people with us?"
"Yeah, besides we won't be going to sea for a while."
Lu Changsheng frowned.
He took a look and saw that these fishermen's boats were indeed smaller and very unsafe.
Even though his strength is astonishing, if he falls into the vast sea, he will not be able to display all his abilities.
"If you really want to go to sea, the safest way is to take a big boat."
"Especially those big ships of merchants, they are much safer than our fishing boats."
"Yes, those merchants traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to come to our Zhanhai City. How much sea area did they have to walk through and how many winds and waves did they have to go through? It is definitely safest to go out to sea on their boats."
Lu Changsheng looked in the direction of the fisherman's finger.
On the pier, there are huge ships, and those are the ships of Fanshang.
"Thanks."
Lu Changsheng took out a few copper plates and threw them to a few fishermen, then floated away towards the dock.
