Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 32 Night Walk
The capital is said to be the first good place, but it is actually like that.Except for more people, more red dust, and more Lord Baylor, the others are not much different from the Northeast.

There was starvation everywhere, and there were scrawny fugitives everywhere.

In remote towns where the poor live together, corpses can be seen in the corners at a glance; there are also many people kneeling on the side of the street with straw stuck behind their heads.

People are no longer individual.

Skinny, big-bellied, numb, and hopeless in his eyes.

These are the darkest times.

In a district like Pingkangfang, where officials and wealthy businessmen gather, it is probably out of sight, but it is cleaned up, and those refugees are not allowed to come in.

It was dark, Lu Heng returned home.

After dinner, Lu Heng suppressed his emotions and walked a few times in the newly renovated martial arts training ground.

Having personally experienced such dark times, you will know how difficult it is for all living beings.Only then will you know how hateful the Tartars are.

Only then can we realize why so many people with lofty ideals stand up, throw their heads and shed their blood.

Just as Mr. Lu Xun said: those who can make voices make voices, and those who can do things do things, with a little heat and a little light, they will make fireflies.
The firefly has been lit.

Tan Fusheng's "I smiled to the sky from the horizontal knife, and I will keep my soul and gallbladder in Kunlun" lit the first ray of fire. More than 30 knives were severed. Although it was not fast to draw the knife, it also lived up to the boy's head. In the dark and oppressive world, she shed light.

Although Restoration has its huge limitations, it has not completely escaped the shackles, but the fire lights up, and it is so eye-catching in the dark.

New things flourish.

In the big era, Lu Heng didn't know what he could do.He has only one thought now, and that is to kill the old witch.The old witch is the last straw to maintain the dark rule of the Qing Dynasty. She is immortal. This straw continues, and the longer it lasts, the more depressing it becomes.

Not only to avenge the teacher, but also to do something for this era.

In the past few days, Lu Heng had ordered Old Man Li to inquire secretly -- to find out where the body of the master fell.Earlier, Gong Haneda said that Cixi had hung the body of her master on the city gate on the day she asked to kill Tan Fusheng and others.

I haven't seen it now, and I've either been taken away or abused by the Tartars.

Lu Heng must know.

In any case, it is imperative to collect the body of the master first.

After dinner, Lu Heng called Old Man Li and asked about it.

Old Man Li said: "The old slave was inquiring around the city gate, and I asked many people from the side, but they were all secretive. I couldn't find out."

Lu Heng listened and thought for a while: "Don't worry, ask slowly. Someone must know about this. People dare not say it makes sense when it comes to that old witch. Don't be stingy with money, as long as you can find out, it doesn't matter how much money you spend. "

Old Man Li nodded and said yes.

Lu Heng said again: "Wang Zhengyi and Cheng Tinghua, have you heard their news?"

Old man Li said: "Cheng Tinghua's news. He opened an eye shop next to the four fire temples on the flower market outside Chongwenmen, and he opened a coaching field next to him to collect disciples. He is very famous in the market, and as soon as I inquired about it. understood."

He added: "Wang Zhengyi has no definite news. Only a sea arrest document was posted in front of the city gate, saying that he had assassinated officials and was searching for them."

Lu Heng pondered for a while and said, "Continue to inquire about Wang Zhengyi's news and my master's corpse. Don't reveal the bottom line and be touched."

Old Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, this old slave still has some vigilance."

After sending Lao Li away, Lu Heng sat alone under the oil lamp and thought.

Master's corpse is one of them, which must be found and buried.Otherwise, Lu Heng would be unfilial!

Second, I found Cheng Tinghua because Cheng Tinghua and Gong Haneda went out of the same family, and they were both disciples of Dong Haichuan and had a passion for incense.When he came, Lu Heng didn't ask Gong Haneda for Cheng Tinghua's contact information because he didn't think about going this route at first.

After thinking about it carefully in the past few days, Lu Heng decided to take a few more paths.The Bai family is one, and so is Cheng Tinghua.Fumbling around for the time being.

Cheng Tinghua is a martial arts master and a disciple of Dong Haichuan.Dong Haichuan is a person on duty in the palace. Cheng Tinghua is so famous in the capital, and there is no news channel.

In addition, when he searched for Wang Zhengyi's news, one was to admire him - these days, martial arts practitioners who can go all the way with Tan Fusheng and the others must be open-minded and worth seeing.

Secondly, Lu Heng vaguely remembered that Wang Zhengyi seemed to be a member of Yihequan.This might be useful.

Taking out the booklet of Baibu Feijian, Lu Heng sat and looked to the right, unable to read it any longer.The mind is complicated and unsteady, unable to meditate.Then an idea popped into my mind - go out for a walk.

At this time, the door creaked open, and Jiu'er slipped in.

Young men and women, do you know the taste of the marrow?

Lu Heng laughed, and before he could start, the door opened again, and Gong Er also slipped in, Jiu'er was extremely unhappy.

Except for the first two days, every night after that, when Jiu Er came, Gong Er also followed.Gong Er was aware of Jiu'er's affairs and felt unhappy, disturbing her good things.

Gong Er was still young, so Lu Heng was inconvenient.She is not very happy about this, she is not happy, and Jiu'er doesn't want to be happy either.

The three of them had to chat casually, until they yawned, and then they all left.

Only then did Lu Heng change into his night clothes and quietly went out.

It was already late at night, except for those who beat the clappers, the streets were deserted.It's curfew.

Lu Heng felt in the dark and sneaked all the way to the Forbidden City.

Naturally, the Forbidden City was full of dangers, and Lu Heng knew this.Although the shamanism's nest has been lifted, most of the shamanist masters are guarding the slave chiefs in the Forbidden City.

If you break in recklessly, you will be afraid that you will not be able to get out.

Lu Heng planned to explore around the periphery first, touching the bottom of the Forbidden City bit by bit.We can't pin all our hopes on the Bai family and Cheng Tinghua.

You have to take action yourself.

The defenses of the outer city were lax, but the inner city of the Forbidden City was heavily guarded.Lu Heng touched the roots of the city wall, the torches on the city wall were shining, and the soldiers who came and went to patrol were rarely dead ends.

Tartar has always been very concerned about his own safety.Because since the establishment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there has been no shortage of people who intend to assassinate the emperor of the slave chiefs.

Touching the corner of the wall, Lu Heng crawled up against the wall with his hands like iron hooks.Climbing under the city wall, and just after a patrol team passed, they turned over, took a few vertical steps, and jumped in.

When he entered the inner city, his eyes were darkened.

The Forbidden City is too big.

Lu Heng had to fumble along the inner wall.

This groping came before dawn.

The harvest was not great, so I wrote down the frequency of patrolling by soldiers, the palace pavilions and paths on the outer side of the inner city.

Deeper, Lu Heng didn't plan to enter for the time being.

Back in the corner, Lu Heng was about to leave when suddenly he heard a ding in his ears.He couldn't help but follow the sound, and saw a hook thrown out of the darkness, hooking the wall of the city wall, making a crashing sound.
