Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 84

The technique of slaying demons and the technique of taking food complement each other, making Lu Heng's power grow by leaps and bounds.

But no matter what, it has a degree.

By this time, Lu Heng's physique had improved and entered a plateau.

And the speed of growth is getting slower and slower.

It's not that the demon beheaded or the food is not good enough, it's that Lu Heng's food is too bad.

Naturally, there is not so much emphasis on the initial stage, but once this stage is passed, the emphasis will come.

Ordinary food and medicinal materials were gradually unable to satisfy the skill of taking food—as Lu Heng became stronger and stronger, the skill of taking food gradually became more advanced, and a higher level of eating was required to meet the needs of the skill of taking food.

For example, when Lu Heng was weak before, the technique of taking food was limited by Lu Heng himself. It was just a tung oil lamp, just burn some tung oil; but now, Lu Heng has become stronger, based on Lu Heng's own level, the technique of taking food To become a diesel engine, you have to burn diesel oil, and tung oil is no longer enough.

Taking food is an immortal technique, and this thing is actually used to take elixir and elixir!
At the beginning of the start, there were not so many requirements, but after getting on the right track, the amount of Yuan Qi obtained from ordinary food was not enough to provide Lu Heng's increasingly strong body to further improve, so the efficiency of strengthening began to increase. slow down, and even eventually come to a standstill.

Lu Heng knew the reason, so he didn't feel wrong because of it.

Speechless at night.

In the following period, Lu Heng still did not give up going to the palace.It's just that the frequency has decreased. It used to be every day, but it has gradually changed to every three days.

After midsummer, the situation seemed tense.

There were rumors in the market that the Western envoys issued a stern protest to the imperial court, demanding that the imperial court send troops to punish Yihequan, and that the imperial court should compensate the interests involved in the burning of the church and the killed missionaries because of Yihequan.

They warned the court that if measures were not taken quickly, they would do it themselves.

These rumors are all sorts of things, but they're all bad, not good.

This made the people of the capital feel uneasy.

But the dignitaries are still the same as always - just like the poem: business girls don't know the hatred of subjugation, and they still sing flowers in the backyard across the river.As if never felt.

Therefore, the business of Sifangyuan is still so hot.

This garden, positioned as high-end, has nothing to do with ordinary people.

As the owner of the garden, Lu Heng knew more detailed and true news than the rumors in the market.

With the growth of Yihequan, their figures became more and more distinct on the land of Hebei.They burned churches, drove out foreigners, and killed missionaries.

Even more extreme, began to reject everything related to the West.

Such as Western medicine, such as advanced factories.

Many Chinese doctors who have studied Western medicine and opened medical clinics to treat people have been persecuted by them.The factories of some ethnic merchants were also smashed by them.

It started to be indiscriminate.

The foreigners became more and more anxious.As far as Lu Heng knew, in the past month or two, several Western envoys from embassies have issued severe warnings to the imperial court.

The court's reply was very interesting, saying that it was a civil act and had nothing to do with the government.

Many officials who came to listen to the play were secretly having fun.

Perhaps no one thought that the foreign powers would send troops directly.

Lu Heng sent a letter to Wang Zhengyi through Wang Daochang, probably with a hint of exhortation.I ask him not to be indiscriminate. It is natural to burn down churches and expel missionaries, but it would be too much to smash the hospitals and factories run by his own people.

But I did not receive a reply from Wang Zhengyi.

Lu Heng actually knew very well that Wang Zhengyi was only a part of Yihe Quan and could not represent the whole Yihe Quan.Lu Heng also knew that those western doctors and factory owners were not necessarily good people.

He was just suffocating in a breath.

Lu Heng didn't go out that day and hid at home.The weather was so hot that it had not rained for half a month.With smoke billowing on the streets, going out is not a good choice.

He stayed at home, practiced martial arts, read books, etc.

No matter how hot it is, it can't get him hot - by now, Lu Heng is not even sweating anymore.After practicing boxing under the scorching sun, I came down several times in a calm and peaceful manner, without sweating at all.

Practice a few punches and kicks, lie down under a tree in the yard, drink tea, and read a book.

At this moment, Lao Li came in and said, "Master, someone came to visit."

Lu Heng straightened up all of a sudden, his strong naked body was very impactful: "Which one is it?"

Old Li said: "It's Mr. Cheng Tinghua Cheng."

Lu Heng jumped up: "Go."

But it is not only Cheng Tinghua alone, there is also a middle-aged man with a body similar to Cheng Tinghua, who is not too big.

When they met, Lu Heng cupped his hands and smiled and said, "How can Master Cheng come to me today?"

Quickly let the maid serve herbal tea.

Cheng Tinghua laughed: "I'm idle and fine."

He pointed to the man beside him: "This is Sun Fuquan."

Lu Heng looked surprised: "It turned out to be Master Sun!"

Sun Lutang smiled and cupped his hands: "Little Brother Lu."

Cheng Tinghua said, "Didn't I tell you last time that Fuquan came to the capital this time to find the assassin to compete?"

Sun Lutang continued: "I heard that the assassin is a powerful person. At that time, surrounded by thousands of people, he chopped melons and vegetables and killed several bodyguards of the Queen Mother. This kind of ability is really fascinating."

After a pause, he said, "I am now in a position of my own when practicing martial arts. If I can find him to help me, I may be able to pierce the last layer of window paper."

Showing regret: "Unfortunately, I have been looking for him for more than a month and disappeared. Probably I guessed wrong. I thought he was such a powerful character. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, and he should not give up. He may still be hiding in the capital to find another opportunity. Now It looks like he may have left."

Lu Heng was very speechless.

He quite agrees with Sun Lutang's guess - the assassins are standing in front of them.It is impossible to leave.

It is surprising that Sun Lutang was so persistent that he searched for more than a month.

Cheng Tinghua said: "Fuquan didn't find anyone and planned to leave the capital. He came to me, and I remembered that you are also a master, so I brought him to see."

Hearing this, Lu Heng quickly said, "Master Cheng, where am I a master."

Cheng Tinghua laughed: "Don't lie to me. Bao Sen and I specifically said in the letter that when you were still in the Northeast, Ding Lianshan was no longer your opponent. Now it must be even more unfathomable."

Sun Lutang also said: "I know Master Ding Lian Shan Ding's ability. He and Bao Sen are only in the same league."

He praised: "Brother Lu has such ability at such a young age. People say that I, Sun Lutang, are a prodigy in martial arts, but compared with you, it's really not worth mentioning."

He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, please do me a favor."

What else can Lu Heng do?
He had no choice but to laugh: "It's okay. Since I have mastered my boxing skills, I haven't really played against a real master."

Sun Lutang certainly couldn't beat him, but Sun Lutang's attainments in martial arts were beyond Lu Heng's self-consciousness.If you can join hands with him, maybe you can gain something in boxing.
