Da da da...
The wheel hub rotated, and a dark shadow fell slantingly in the moonlight, like a coffin.
The carriage is returning to Magnolia Hall.
When they arrived at the young man's place, Wei Yao suddenly said: "Sir, that person wants to lure you to Luoshimen."
Li Xuan corrected him: "It's not to lure me, but to lure all the guests who bought this book."
Wei Yao said: "I have read this book of exercises. Not only is there no problem, it is also very complete, but it just lacks the basic diagram."
The air became quiet, and a sudden and strange atmosphere emerged.
Wei Yao suddenly said quietly: "Do you want..."
Li Xuanqi said: "Do you want to follow me?"
Wei Yao said: "What are you looking at? Just grab him in a sack and beat him up. If you don't fight him, you'll continue to beat him. That person has bad intentions, so we don't have to be polite."
Li Xuandao: "Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Wei Yao said angrily, "Are you going to make such a sound?"
Li Xuan coughed, returned to normal, and said calmly: "Let's just watch and don't act rashly."
He just needs to wait for the follow-up of Falling Stone Gate. As for the fundamental method of "Iron Cloak", it is not worth his special attention.
Besides, if that person really deliberately lured people to Luo Shimen, it is very likely that there are many hidden secrets in this matter, or even behind the scenes. Once he gets involved, it will be difficult to get out. The most important thing is that he will cause trouble that he didn't need to cause at all.
When the benefits are not proportional to the troubles, and when the risks have not been evaluated, it is better to meddle less in this kind of business.
Compared with the fundamental method of "Iron Cloak", Li Xuan wanted to see the subsequent development of this matter.
Luoshimen is a Jianghu sect. Tomorrow he will go to Yanziwu to attend Lin Jianfeng's small meeting, so he can ask some questions.
...
...
That night, we returned to Magnolia Pavilion.
Li Xuan flipped through "Iron Cloak" for a while. The pile method of this horizontal training method is not as mysterious as "Yang Bronze Book", but is a slight improvement on the rather ordinary horse stance; the "breathing method" is not magical either. , just hold your breath sideways; but the core is on the "medicine formula".
The training process is to train the body, and then be beaten with an iron rod. The force of the beating gradually increases, and then medicine is applied to restore the body. Repeatedly until the iron rod no longer hurts the body.
The fundamental diagram mentioned in the book is a set of secret methods for rapid recovery, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The diagram records the use of different postures and movements to transport qi and blood for rapid recovery, which can be described as miraculous.
Bang~
Bang~
Bang~
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
At this time, the sound of banging was heard in the distance.
Li Xuan silently put down the book and started thinking.
He probably understood that this "Iron Cloak" is a method of training skin and flesh. The reason why it is ranked among the top skills is simply that its "medicine formula" is better than other horizontal training methods.
At the same time, the most core things should also be in that fundamental map.
Based on his understanding of "gamification" in his previous life, this "Iron Cloak" is divided into two levels. The first level is called "Passive Skills-Defense Enhancement", and the second level is "Active Skills-Self-Vitality Recovery".
'Sure enough, there is really nothing good about the martial arts in this world. '
Li Xuan sighed. He had already remembered this technique in his heart, but it was not the technique he wanted.
It is conceivable that even if he practices this "Iron Cloak", nine times out of ten, his physique will only be enhanced to thirteen or fourteen, while the master's technique can be enhanced to about sixteen.
Demon points are precious, and practice also takes time. If you can practice well, don't practice poorly.
Li Xuan yawned, thought about tomorrow's invitation, and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
...
...
The next day, early in the morning.
A carriage stopped in front of the Magnolia Pavilion. The driver was a rather pretty woman in red. At first glance, she was not a servant or maid.
The woman reported her family name. Her surname was Zuo and her first name was Hong. Her identity was actually a dock owner of the 12th chain dock of Qinghe Water Transport. She was known as "Langli Honghua" in the world. After showing her Qinghe Water Transport token, Zuo Hong He politely invited Li Xuan to board the car.
A dock owner of the opposite sex personally acted as the coachman. This showed that he valued Li Xuan very much and had all the etiquette in place.
Perhaps in the past, Qinghe Water Transport would not have treated a second-generation ancestor so politely, even if he was selected.
But recently, the reputation of "Leader Li, Young Master" has spread throughout Baihua Mansion. Coupled with the "Sparrow Feather Sword" on Li Xuan's waist, it shows that Cao Shuda, the prefect of Baihua Mansion, regards him as his disciple. And have a good relationship with him.
This is a young man with a bright future.
Not to mention these, a young grandmaster is already worthy of being treated like this by others who are also members of the martial arts world.
Li Xuan took his second brother and got into the carriage with Wei Yao.
The carriage left the inner city all the way and headed south of the outer city.
Qinghe is a large river that runs from east to west. It winds for nearly 800 miles and merges into the sea. It passes many cities along the way, so water transportation is naturally developed.
For Baihua Mansion, the twelve chain docks are not only a water village located on the banks of the Qinghe River, but also responsible for loading and unloading. There is a mixture of fish and dragons in them, and the background is very dark.
Among them, Yanziwu is rather special. This water village is basically a place for sightseeing and beautiful scenery. There are no mud-legged people carrying cargo bags on the left and right, and no people coming in and out of the world. It is the young master and the young lady. A good place for us to have a small meeting.
Li Xuan opened the curtain slightly and suddenly said: "Master Zuowu."
The woman smiled and said to Yan Yan, "You're being polite, Mr. Li, just call me Zuo Hong."
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Sister Zuo."
Zuo Hong was stunned, then chuckled, and said: "The head of the case is a young grandmaster certified by Magistrate Cao personally. This is really embarrassing for my sister. If you have something to do with me, it's okay to say it."
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Don't call me the head of the case. Sister Zuo, just call me by my name, or call me Young Master like everyone else."
Zuo Hong smiled straightforwardly and said, "That's okay."
Li Xuan corrected the title and said straight to the point: "Sister Zuo, I want to find some master-level skills, but I don't know where I can find them."
Zuo Hong was stunned, silent for a while and said: "The master is very strict in accepting disciples. He first serves tea and pours water for three years, and then he can learn skills only after he has tested his character. However, there are other situations.
For example, after the sect that once had a master fell down, the skills were scattered abroad; another example is that some masters never received a suitable disciple in their lifetime and were left alone when they died; another example is that the master was short of money and copied copies of the skills and sold them at underground auctions. , these are all possible.
Our Qinghe Cao Gang does have a special place for collecting martial arts, but it is under the personal control of Gang Leader Lin. After arriving at Yanziwu, I turned around and went to help the young master to ask. "
Li Xuan said: "Thank you very much, Sister Zuo."
Zuo Hong chuckled and said, "Since you are so polite, sir, you might as well come to my dock after the small meeting at Yanziwu."
Li Xuan smiled heartily and said, "Okay."
Seeing that he agreed, Zuo Hong felt closer to him.
While driving the car, she chatted with Li Xuan.
Li Zhili next to me felt extremely bored and wanted to join in, but didn't know what to say. She could only blink and listen, and her admiration for her elder brother slowly rose in her heart...
While Li Xuan was chatting, he asked casually: "Sister Zuo, someone has told me some Jianghu things in the past few days, saying that there have been many murders in Luoshimen in the northwest of Fucheng, but now no one dares to investigate. Yes, is this true?"
Zuo Hong said in a quiet voice: "Master, that place is full of evil. The three gangs and four sects nearby have sent people there before, but none of them came back."
She paused briefly, then lowered her voice and asked, "Master, do you believe there are monsters in this world?"
"Monsters, right?" Li Xuandao, "I heard from the Ding family in our county, and... I've encountered them too."
As he spoke, he told all about the demon leopard.
This is no secret either.
Zuo Hong said in a deep voice: "Since you believe me and call me Sister Zuo, just listen to me, there are demons at Luoshimen. Don't go, don't ask, don't care."
Li Xuanqi said: "Can't we suppress it?"
Now that the den has been identified, why not destroy it? After all, the demon leopard suppressed by the fog before was destroyed by the two counties' soldiers.
Zuo Hong suddenly shut up and said, "Master, you can ask your mentor about this matter."
The mentor she mentioned was naturally Cao Dashu, the magistrate of Baihua Prefecture.
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes.
In fact, there is no need to ask, he already knows the number.
This was probably a campaign, but it failed, so it was kept secret.
It is hard to imagine how terrifying a monster that even a prefect can't exterminate is.
So, here comes the question again, if there is a demon in Luo Shi Men, then... what is the identity of the merchant who seduced him to Luo Shi Men in Blind Mansion last night?
Could it be that the demons have human helpers?
In other words, what kind of sorcery is it?
Or maybe he was just being overthinking and the vendor said something unintentionally?
The carriage suddenly became quiet.
Young Master Li was frightened when he heard what the demons said, and fear naturally appeared on his face. He suddenly asked: "Brother, isn't the flower-picking thief in our county also a demon?"
When Young Master Li saw the big boy wearing the "fear mask", he also shuddered. He patted his head as calmly as possible and said: "Little... little kid, don't talk nonsense, that flower-picking thief" It’s been a long time since I’ve been here.”
After saying that, he stopped talking about this topic, but slowly closed his eyes, leaned back slightly, and closed his eyes to rest.
Although his eyes were closed, the word "demon" lingered in his mind.
If demons were born in heaven and earth, then...how can people resist them? Maybe resist it?
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at Wei Yao again.
Wei Yao's narrow eyes subconsciously rolled up to meet Li Xuan, but she immediately avoided looking at him.
Li Xuan's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
...
...
At this time, Qinghe Cao Gang.
Yanziwu.
Lin Jianfeng was inspecting various places, such as whether the dishes prepared in the dining hall were perfect, whether the gifts for the young dignitaries were ready, etc...
He didn't make the cut in this college exam. But it doesn't matter, he doesn't care too much about that. The key is that he doesn't really have the heart to study hard.
Beside him was the beauty in aqua green dress.
This beauty is his wife—Yao Xiaoxiao.
Yao Xiaoxiao used to be a girl who loved to laugh, but...she hasn't smiled for a long time.
While walking, when passing a corner in the woods, Yao Xiaoxiao walked over first.
Lin Jianfeng was only two steps behind. Just as he was about to pass by, his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
A moment later, another Lin Jianfeng took a step forward and walked to Yao Xiaoxiao.
This "new Lin Jianfeng" has a silly smile on his face. Compared to Lin Jianfeng's maturity and stability, his eyes have a bit of inexplicable darkness and madness.
Suddenly, he raised his hand, grabbed Yao Xiaoxiao's hand, and held it hard.
Yao Xiaoxiao was suddenly startled, turning her head to look at this "new Lin Jianfeng" in horror, her pupils slowly widening in fear.
And this "new Lin Jianfeng" smiled even more happily. Seeing Yao Xiaoxiao's panic, he grinned and showed his white teeth. He smiled and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous, I am my brother."
