Among the four, only You Ziji was in the most special condition. Although his cultivation level was the lowest, his true energy was the least affected. In addition, the real fire furnace in his body increased the stability of his true energy, and the damage he suffered was more of an impact on his body. Fortunately, he has mastered the magical power of force. The reason why this magical power has become the foundation of Dongfang Ming's current cultivation is not only the increase in attack, but also the enhancement of physical fitness. This makes You Ziji's skin tougher, his muscles firmer, and his bones more stable. The essence and blood, one of the three treasures of energy, energy and spirit, will become more abundant, allowing his body to recover faster. This is even more obvious on the basis that his essence, energy and spirit are unified and turned into the true fire of samadhi.
Although he woke up late, his body recovered faster than Yao Yi and Zhang Xingwen. After getting up, he was able to jump around without exercising.
Seeing that he had completely recovered, Ji Wenyi said: "Junior brother, senior brothers and sisters are here to heal their wounds. Please don't disturb me. I'm here to guard you. You can go back first and tell Senior Uncle Hao and Fourth Senior Brother what happened here."
Although You Ziji is unable to control the sword and his speed is a bit slow, if he stays here, if he encounters danger, his cultivation will be too weak to be of much help, and he will not be able to take two people to escape in an emergency. Conveying messages is the most suitable thing for him at the moment. .
"Senior brother, don't worry."
You Ziji spread his body skills, climbed over mountains and ridges, ran as fast as he could, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he glided away all the way against the mountain wind.
If this continues repeatedly, it is not too slow. It will take about one stick of incense to enter Jian Pingcheng. It's also because the place they are staying in is in the mountains, so it will inevitably take a lot of time.
You Ziji walked forward, and suddenly a net appeared in front of him. He suddenly stopped his falling body, stepped on the mountain wind and raised it a little higher, but the net also rose a little higher. Just in time to stop him, someone was clearly controlling him. Although You Ziji was in a hurry and could use the Samadhi True Fire to directly burn through a passage and come out, he was not sure that he could defeat the person using the net. He simply lowered himself down and thought about whether they could have a conversation.
As soon as he landed, he heard someone behind him shouting: "Hey, boy, why are you running so fast?"
You Ziji turned around and saw several people walking through the mountains halfway up the mountain wearing bamboo hats, perhaps to ward off the morning dew. Seeing how they were dressed, You Ziji immediately guessed that these people were going up the mountain to hunt birds. Are there rare spiritual birds in the mountains? That's easy to do. As long as you turn yourself over and show others, you'll be fine. Apart from the red feather fan, the only things left on him were a few bottles of elixirs and amulets.
There was a tall and thin man in the group, who seemed to be the leader of the crowd, and said: "Boy, you are so impressive, but you don't even know how to come forward to greet me. Can you wait for the brothers to greet you?"
You Ziji didn't talk back when he heard this. He just wanted to quickly prove his innocence and leave as soon as possible. I saw him "thump thump thump" a few steps forward, saluted, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, senior brother."
Seeing that the young man You Ziji had a gentle appearance and was very polite, but the tall and thin man was a little embarrassed, he said: "You can't say hard work or not, you need actual actions."
He stretched out his slender, pale hands, with thick joints, and one glance showed that his hands were extremely powerful.
You Ziji didn't know what he meant, so he put his hand on the man's hand and said, "Senior brother, what can I do for you?"
The tall and thin man took his hand out and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, why are you pretending to be stupid? Give me money!"
"Senior brother, do you want to sell me something?"
The man sneered, "Yes, this mountain is mine. If you want to cross here, you will naturally need to pay for the road."
You Ziji looked troubled and said, "I don't have much money on me, I only have some Qi Restoration Pills left. If senior brother wants it, just take it."
"Don't worry, senior fellow apprentice, it's useless to be too close. People who came and went here were crying because they were poor. They took off their clothes and stuffed gold and silver inside, and they were all slaughtered by us. Boy, if you know the truth, just take out the money. If not. , so don’t blame us for being rude, brothers, don’t you think so?”
"That's what Boss Liu said!"
"Boy, please pay for it quickly, don't force me to do it!"
Several middle-aged people shouted at the same time, with great momentum, but You Ziji still couldn't pay. They were no longer polite, showed fierce eyes, shouted and rushed forward together as if they wanted to tear You Ziji into pieces.
Now it was impossible not to fight. Boss Liu took the lead and struck out with a palm, which was accompanied by the roar of wind and thunder. Youzi Ji looked intently and saw several strands of Gang Qi condensed on the man's palm, entwining and pulling each other. The speed was It's so fast that it can break rocks with just a single swipe. You Ziji was delighted to see Lie Xin. He had not seen such a brilliant palm technique for a long time. If he could learn it, he would definitely be able to improve his palm techniques to another level, so he faced each other head on with his flesh palms. Seeing that You Ziji didn't know how to deal with it, Boss Liu dared to take the palm forcefully, and showed a ferocious smile. His strength suddenly increased several levels, leaving no chance to back up.
You Ziji saw that Liu Laodao increased his strength in the middle. Although he could do it and even diverted the man's palm power before attacking, he wanted to test the power of Liu Laodao's palm skills and still chose to fight head-on. His palm power burst out when Boss Liu's big hands collided, and he was immediately knocked backwards by the Gang Qi. He rolled twice on the ground and discharged the Gang Qi that invaded his body into the ground.
Liu Laodaodao: "You are quite flexible, let's see how long you can hold on."
While he was talking, his helpers also came here, but these people were a little less powerful. You Ziji punched and kicked the two of them. Boss Liu had already caught up. You Ziji took advantage of the situation and jumped up to avoid them. He came behind everyone and hit the last two people on the back of their necks with two flying palms, causing them to faint immediately. Mr. Liu screamed so loudly that he jumped up with his legs.
You Ziji held his palm in front, and no matter how Boss Liu attacked, he took them one by one. Although he was beaten back repeatedly, he did not suffer any substantial damage. On the contrary, Boss Liu became more and more frightened as he fought. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him had such strong Qi that he was no less than him, and his palm technique foundation was even more solid and steady, as if he was still faintly above him.
This prevented Boss Liu from delaying his attack at all. Once You Ziji seized the opportunity, he would be defeated immediately.
Their battle was so dangerous that others could not help but could only watch who could persevere.
Suddenly, a young man came to a rock near the two of them and said: "Stop, stop, Boss Liu, you are going to lose, don't hold on."
Although this person's voice was dull, he showed a very deep true energy. He was definitely a Xuanjing monk. You Ziji's hands trembled and he decided to stop. On the other hand, Boss Liu could still barely hold on, but when he heard the young man's words, he was immediately discouraged and his palm skills suddenly became scattered. He was knocked away by You Ziji with a palm. He covered his chest and was speechless for a long time. His men hurriedly rushed They came to help, but no one dared to look at the young man. It was obvious that both parties knew each other, and the young man had great prestige among these people.
The young man smiled and said: "What a talented young man. I see that the skills you have learned are ordinary, but when you use them, you are extremely spiritual. Your master should be a Taoist warrior, but it is a pity that he cannot lead you further."
You Ziji was startled and followed the man's words and said, "This senior brother is right. I have been stuck in this realm for a long time."
The young man laughed and said: "Haha, little brother, you really know how to joke. How many people in the world can reach such a level of cultivation at your age? You are just not able to break through because of your poor skills. Since you shouted If you call me Senior Brother, you are destined to me, so I will wait for Master to give you a good gift."
You Ziji immediately pretended to be overjoyed and said, "Thank you, senior brother!"
"Don't worry, I haven't given it to you yet." The young man said, "My name is Ding Ling, and I was working here with my teacher. By chance, I met the boss Liu who was robbing families and homes, so I dealt with them and asked them to change their ways. , but now it seems that dogs can’t change their ways of eating shit, so I’ll kill them now just to vent my anger for my little brother.”
When he said this, he immediately became murderous. Even You Ziji couldn't help but gulped, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. How many people had to be killed to have such a momentum?
Seeing that Ding Ling was really going to take action, Boss Liu shouted in horror: "Master, spare my life. I will definitely change my past mistakes and make amends!" After he said this, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful. The blood stasis was caused by You Ziji. The rest of his subordinates' legs were weak, shaking like a sieve, and they didn't dare to fart.
Seeing that the situation was not right, You Ziji immediately said: "Senior Brother Ding, wait a moment. The younger brother is not injured after all. He is just sparring with Boss Liu. As for taking his life, let's give him another chance."
Upon hearing this, Ding Ling immediately restrained his murderous aura and said, "In that case, I won't punish him. Boss Liu, I'd better like to thank this person, this person..."
"My little brother's surname is You."
"Oh, Brother You."
Boss Liu immediately burst into tears and knelt down to You Ziji, "Thank you, Brother You, for saving my life." This action can be described as genuine and without any adulteration. But when he saw Ding Ling, it seemed that he was not the one who was shouting and killing just now.
Ding Ling smiled and said: "Brother You, I'm not satisfied. I saw your eyes during the whole battle just now. When I saw what you did, it seemed that you wanted to try out the master Liu's palm skills so that you could learn something from it. I said Is that right?"
Regarding this matter, You Ziji had nothing to hide and just nodded.
"Sure enough, it is an act of genius. My master often praises me for this." Ding Ling laughed and said: "But Brother You, there is no need to go to such trouble. If you want this Gang Palm, I will give it to you. It doesn't mean anything." Amazing stuff.”
After that, he threw out a thin book and was caught by You Ziji. The word "Gang Palm" was clearly written on the cover. Is this the secret book of palm skills given away like this? Looking at Boss Liu's complicated expression, I'm afraid he gave this palm technique to Ding Ling, but he didn't like it.
You Ziji glanced through it a few times and confirmed that there were no obvious problems with the operation of the technique. He remembered a few of the key points, then closed the book and said, "No reward for no merit, I can't have this secret book."
Ding Ling seemed to have heard a big joke. He held his stomach and laughed wildly, then said: "This palm-breaking technique is nothing. It's just a common thing. I have many supreme techniques. Those are the real secrets. This palm technique is nothing." It's just a greeting gift, if Brother You doesn't want it, just throw it away."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, You Ziji immediately stuffed the book into his arms, "How is that possible? It's such a waste."
Ding Ling said: "If you enter my door, you will know that what I say is true."
You Ziji was surprised: "Senior Brother Ding's master still wants to accept disciples?"
Ding Ling said: "Brother You is wrong. It's not that my master wants to accept a disciple. It's my sect that needs new disciples. I think Brother You is a good candidate and I want to recommend you to get started."
You Ziji was a little excited, but he touched his pocket and asked, "That's great, do you need a apprenticeship ceremony?"
"Hahaha, Brother You is such a sweetheart. But my sect doesn't need to go to such trouble. As long as you practice our techniques, we are the same sect. I wonder if Brother You has this idea."
Seeing the uncontrollable ferocity in Ding Ling's eyes, You Ziji dared to disagree, and continued: "I have always suffered from not having a good teacher. Now that I have such an opportunity, I cannot give up. Senior Brother Ding must lead me to get started. "
"Okay!" Ding Ling clapped his hands happily, took out another booklet and threw it over, saying: "This is the Pure Spirit Kung Fu of our sect. You practice it first. When the heat is high, I will find you and continue to teach it. Your new technique."
You Ziji said happily: "Thank you so much, senior brother!"
"We are all our own now, so there is no need for any thanks. But since you have to have a Dharma name to join the sect, as a senior brother, I will give you a name, how about you call it 'Suwei'? "
What did you do?
No matter what, You Ziji has to accept it now, "Thank you, senior brother, for the name. It's just that I don't know the name of the sect yet. Can senior brother tell me?"
"Tianqi Sect."
You Ziji recalled it carefully, but he had never heard of it. Maybe it was a sect outside of Longzhou. But since Ding Ling had been released, You Ziji naturally didn't want to delay and said goodbye.
After seeing the person leave, Ding Ling still seemed very happy, so he said cautiously: "Master, you just let You Suowei go like this? What should we do if he just leaves and stops meeting us?"
The corners of Ding Ling's lips turned up, "It's not that easy to get my things. He will have to come if he doesn't come. I'll go do what master told me to do. Then I'll hang him out for a few days to sharpen his spirit."
"Good advice, Master."
Ding Ling had a straight face and said: "What are you yelling about here? Have you caught the three hundred and sixty birds? If it delays the master's practice, we won't be able to walk around. Boss Liu, if you lead others and don't do business anymore, , I skinned you alive."
Boss Liu was so frightened that he trembled, "Yes, yes, brothers, what are you still doing in a daze? Go get to work."
…
In front of Fulin Tower, many gorgeous carriages parked early in the morning. Their owners were all prominent figures in Jianping City. All of them were wealthy, but they could only park in front of the restaurant, just like queuing up to buy food in the market. of ordinary people.
The shopkeeper of Fulinlou naturally did not dare to take such action and shut out all the family heads, unless he did not want to do the business. But today is different. Fulinlou has been rounded up, and the protagonist is Shi Ming Gongling, the second brother of the head of the Ming family and the chief of the Governor's Mansion.
Since he came to Jianping City, he has often discussed with the heads of various chambers of commerce, but today is different from the past. He no longer needs to give face to some people who are not aware of the current situation.
When all the family heads had been waiting outside for almost half an hour, and the residents who had woken up early in the morning began to point at these big shots, Ming Gong Ling arrived belatedly. He got off the carriage, followed by General Tie, and Lu Ce Ze had already taken over the position of shopkeeper in Fulin Tower and started making arrangements. After seeing the spirit coming, we officially opened the door to welcome guests.
Except for Ming Gong Ling, all the heads of the families walked in with serious faces at first, headed by an old man. This old man was once one of the top figures in Jianping City, but now his family is in decline. Although he has great skills, he can only live in the third place in the family. However, the two largest forces in Jianping City, Shan Zong and Ji Family, did not arrive. However, Ming Gong Ling's target was not the two of them.
After everyone sat down, a very well-built head of the family called out: "Master Ming called so many people here this time, is he trying to give us a showdown?"
He was dressed gorgeously, with all ten fingers on his hands covered with priceless rings. He looked like a nouveau riche, and what he said was in line with his status, and he could be said to have spoken out what everyone was thinking.
Ming Gong Ling knew that this person was just a pawn, and the leader behind him hadn't spoken yet. Naturally, Ming Gong Ling wouldn't reveal his identity first. They are just a group of businessmen who made their fortune by buying and selling things. They are not even as good as the wealthy families in the townships and counties, and cannot be compared to the level of Ming Gong Ling.
At this time, Lu Ce said: "Don't be anxious, Rich Master Ning. We have a purpose in calling everyone this time."
Rich Man Ning was obviously instructed and asked directly without any mercy: "Master Lu, you don't have to talk in circles. I'm a rough guy and can't understand. I just say what I have to say."
Seeing that the other family heads were all old gods, Lu Ce secretly laughed in his heart. Wouldn't he think that Ning Zongzhu could scare him by jumping out? If there is a chance, I will kill the chicken with the surname Ning to scare the monkeys, and I won't know who will benefit at that time. Let's see how long you can last.
He said in a kind tone: "This time I am not discussing with you, I am just asking for your attitude and making a decision today."
All the family heads felt that Ming Gongling's actions were too aggressive and couldn't bear it. The crowd was furious. Before Ning Caiyuan took the lead, someone else jumped out and said:
"Is Master Ming going to give us an ultimatum?"
"I see that Master Ming has never looked down upon us from beginning to end. There really is nothing to talk about."
"Our attitude is just not okay!"
The room was noisy, like a vegetable market, but Ming Gongling didn't get angry, but Lu Ce continued: "Everyone, please be patient."
He called several times, but there was still no response from the family heads. It was not until the old man, who was vaguely the leader of the crowd, coughed that the crowd's voices gradually became quieter.
The old man asked: "Master Lu, what else do you have to say? If not, I think we shouldn't waste time."
Lu Ce cupped his hands and said, "It's okay to make Master Li laugh. I just feel that some people in this room are not suitable to stay here anymore."
Rich Master Ning immediately jumped out and asked, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to treat us differently?"
Lu Ce's tone was still gentle, but what he said made people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts. "The people sitting here are all very wealthy and wealthy, but some people are obviously just fools and have no right to stay here."
Rich Man Ning said: "Nonsense, I don't know anyone here, and I don't know whose family background, but it's true as you said that someone has insufficient assets, so I, Mr. Ning, will give him half, which is enough to qualify him to sit here. "
Lu Ce smiled and said, "Ning Ning's approach is indeed a good one, but it's a pity that you are the one who should get out!"
Rich Master Ning was immediately stunned and exclaimed, "What did you say?!"
Lu Ce took out a stack of house deed documents and said to him: "Mr. Ning, the batch of silk you sold to Nanzhou did not arrive on time, so according to the agreement, you should pay full compensation for their losses. This is a huge amount of money." It's a big deal, Rich Master Ning is indeed very wealthy, and his family fortune just balances it, and now you don't have any money except the ring on your hand."
Rich Man Ning said in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible. The people in your Governor's Mansion are plotting against me. This must be the case."
Lu Ce's tone became serious for the first time, and he said: "Ning Ning, don't talk nonsense. You must know that trouble comes from your mouth. Not only will you be penniless, but you may also lose your life. Someone, please Ning Ning to get out." "
Rich Master Ning immediately shut up. He looked around and saw that no one offered help at this moment. Finally, he turned his attention to the head of the Li family, but saw that the head of the Li family looked as if he had never seen him before. Only then did Rich Master Ning's eyes darken and become decadent. and walked out the door.
There was silence in the room for a long time, and no words were spoken for a long time. The pressure on the family heads became even greater, and they were all restless.
In the end, it was the head of the Li family who spoke: "Master Lu did this because of Ming Changshi's intention or the intention of the Governor's Office. Could it be that he wanted to wipe out all of us chambers of commerce?"
Lu Ce smiled secretly in his heart, this old fox finally faced Chang Shi's oppression.
He said: "Master Li has misunderstood. You are the leader of all the family heads. No one of us dares to touch you."
The head of the Li family was startled, but he didn't expect that he would threaten him so directly. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said, "How do you mean, except for me, everyone else will be kicked out by Ming Changshi?"
Lu Ce said: "What the Li family leader said has indeed appeared in my mind, but those are immature thoughts."
The head of the Li family really couldn't see through Lu Ce's intention, so he said: "What Master Lu means, please make it clear."
Lu Ce said: "I just feel that with the strength of the Li family, it may not be impossible to restore its former prestige. No matter what happens, we should not be overpowered by the Ji family."
The head of the Li family seemed to have heard a joke and said: "Who doesn't know that the Governor's Office is going to cooperate with Shan Zong and the Ji family to make a big deal? Master Lu is now saying that Chang Shi wants to cooperate with me and overwhelm the Ji family? Are you treating me like a three-year-old child? Are you kidding?"
Lu Ce said: "Who said that Chang Shi can only cooperate with one family? Even other family heads also have opportunities."
The head of the Li family narrowed his eyes and looked at Ming Changshi.
