Sweeping the world

Chapter 27 Cheats
Faint rain and mist gathered in the sky, and the sound of dripping raindrops kept ringing around.

Listening quietly to the sound of the rain outside, Chen Ming held a volume of books in his hands, and sat in an aisle watching quietly, but his thoughts drifted further and further away.

"I have been in Longshui County for nearly three months, what should I do next?"

Sitting on a wooden chair, Chen Ming had this thought in his heart.

At this moment, he has been in Longshui for three months, and some matters that should be dealt with have been dealt with at this moment, and it is almost time to leave.

In this world, he is not a prodigal son without a home, but a traveler with a home.

Both Yueshan and the Chen family belonged to him.

"On Yueshan, with my current strength, the thing that attacked me before may not be my opponent now."

Sitting on the same spot with a book in his hands, Chen Ming thought to himself, "But it's hard to say how dangerous Xie Mei is. It's better not to touch it if you can."

When he was in Heiyan Mountain before, Lu Liang's warning came to Chen Ming's mind.

The situation on Mount Yue is very special, there is more than one evil spirit on it, and the one that Chen Ming met before may not be the strongest.

This situation is very wrong. In Chen Ming's mind, it is better not to touch it if possible.

"Go back to Chen's house?"

Putting down the book, he inexplicably thought of this idea.

Although he has not been in this world for a long time, the few months he spent in the Chen family when he traveled just now still left a deep impression on him.

The love of his father, the congratulations and concern of the clansmen, the one-time visitation and the luxurious life of dogs and horses, all these gave him a new feeling and gave him a sense of belonging to that strange home.

Up to now, most of the things on him have been resolved, and his originally weak body has also been strengthened, so there is no need to worry about the infection of ordinary evil.

So, go home?

Sitting on the wooden chair, this thought flashed through his mind.

At this moment, the rain outside gradually stopped, and the sun rose again in the sky.Under the bright sunshine, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside, accompanied by a somewhat stooped figure walking slowly.

"Young Master." A somewhat old voice came from the front, and then a figure slowly came into view.

This is an old man who looks to be around fifty or sixty years old. He is wearing a gray robe at the moment, and his body leans forward slightly, looking a little stooped. He is looking at Chen Ming sitting on the wooden chair with some respect on his face.

This is the butler that Chen Ming recruited during this period. Although he is not very capable, he is still diligent in his work.

"what happened?"

Looking at the butler, Chen Ming looked up, and then spoke.

"The news you inquired about before has been settled."

Looking at Chen Ming, the butler said with a respectful face: "There is news from Zhao Si that there are several martial arts masters from the martial arts school who are willing to offer their martial arts with both hands. You bought all kinds of martial arts secret books at a high price, and you also let out some words, saying that there are a few things that you can ask you to come to see."

"Let those martial artists submit the summary of their martial arts in the martial arts gym directly. Each person will be given 30 taels of silver first, and the reward will be given after I read it."

Chen Ming said casually that he didn't pay much attention to the martial arts in these martial arts halls.

In a few months, Chen Ming also took the opportunity to collect various martial arts near Longshui while taking care of the funeral for the Luliang couple.

Because the price is quite generous, during this period of time, quite a few martial arts schools couldn't help but be tempted to hand over their own martial arts skills.

Regarding this situation, Chen Ming was full of joy at first, but in the end he was greatly disappointed.

Most of the martial arts in these martial arts halls are clumsy, not only unsystematic, but also full of mistakes and omissions, at most they can only be used as a reference, and they are not even qualified to manifest martial arts on the source force interface.

The reason why Chen Ming collected these was only for the purpose of expanding his martial arts knowledge. After all, the deduction function of the source force power is based on his own martial arts knowledge, and it would be beneficial to expand more martial arts knowledge.

"As for Baoyuan Pavilion"

Mentioning this name, Chen Ming pondered for a moment, and then said, "I'll go and have a look later."

"The old man goes down and prepares the chariot and horses for the young master." The old butler nodded respectfully, and then walked out slowly.

In the same place, watching the figure of the old housekeeper slowly leaving, Chen Ming also lost interest in reading. He put down the book in his hand, got up and walked towards the outside room.

He walked out slowly, only stopping when he got outside a room, and looked into it through the window.

In the spacious room, Xiao Lu Qing kept carrying the book on her back with a bitter expression on her face, not daring to move her body.

In front of her, two old-looking old masters wearing a master's robe stared at her with serious faces. As long as she made a small movement, the ruler in her hand would be immediately lowered.

This is the teacher Chen Ming specially hired for Lu Qing to teach her homework.

Under the control of these two old masters, Lu Qing has been suffering all day long.

Looking at her little face full of bitterness, Chen Ming couldn't help but smile, and then thought of Fang Jia on Yueshan inexplicably.

When he was on Mount Yue, Fang Jia always had such a bitter face whenever he was reviewing his homework, and his appearance looked a little pitiful.

Standing on the spot and watching, after a while, seeing that Lu Qing's behavior was normal and her attitude was serious, Chen Ming nodded secretly, and then walked away.

At noon, after lunch, Chen Ming rode in a carriage and walked slowly to a luxuriously decorated building.

At this moment, after experiencing a light rain, the sun rose high in the sky, shining brightly on the earth, and directly evaporated the little water vapor left on the ground, making the ground much cleaner.

"Master Chen, you are here."

Walking into the building, an old man was already standing there.

The old man's face was old, he looked around sixty or seventy, and he was wearing a gray robe. He was standing in front of the building and looking at Chen Ming quietly, with a smile on his face: "Please come with Mr. Chen and this old man."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out into the building, walked slowly into a hall, and then stopped slowly.

Walking into the hall, Chen Ming looked up.

The hall in front of me seemed very spacious, and there was nothing in it except for a few tables and some cabinets, making this place a bit too spacious.

In front of him, after coming to this hall, the old man walked to a fairly clean wooden table, looked at Chen Ming and said, "Mr. Chen, please rest for a while, the things will be delivered here in a while."

"Okay." Chen Ming nodded, looked at the old man in front of him without much hesitation, and sat down on the spot.

Not long after, there was a sound of hurried footsteps from outside, and then a maid held a large wooden box in her hands, put the wooden box on the wooden table with a respectful face, and then gently opened it with her hands and feet.

The wooden box was opened, revealing a few things inside, which were several volumes of ancient books that looked old.

"This is our treasure here. There are three volumes in total. They are all first-class martial arts. Young Master Chen can read them first."

In front of him, looking at Chen Ming in front of him, the old man said to Chen Ming with a smile on his face.

Chen Ming nodded, and casually took out one of the ancient books.

This ancient book seems to be quite old, and the contents inside it look a little old, but the handwriting is still clear, and there doesn't seem to be a big problem.

"One boxing method is not bad."

Looking at the ancient book in his hand, Chen Ming nodded secretly.

Compared with those martial arts halls, this Baoyuan Pavilion is obviously much more majestic, and the martial arts it produces are not bad, and they are at least second-rate outside, which is enough for some martial arts families to use as family heirlooms.

With the foreshadowing of this boxing technique, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel some anticipation in his heart, then he put down the ancient book in his hand and continued to read the next one.

To Chen Ming's surprise, what was recorded in the second ancient book turned out to be an incomplete inner strength method.

"This Qingsong Kungfu was obtained by us in Baoyuan Pavilion several years ago, and most of it has been incomplete since then, but there are no problems in the first three floors inside, so you can practice with confidence."

Seeing the change in Chen Ming's face, the old man sat in front of him and explained: "This mental method is specially used to nourish the body, and it is the most gentle when practiced. Even if you practice it wrong, there will be no problems. You can rest assured, son."

"not bad."

Nodding slightly, Chen Ming put down the ancient book in his hand and looked at the last ancient book.

But this ancient book doesn't have the previous surprises, it's just an ordinary palm technique, and to Chen Ming, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.

"Gu Guanshi, let's make a price."

Putting down the last exercise secret book, looking at the old man in front of him, Chen Ming thought for a while and said directly.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Gu Guanshi's face: "These things are things that I have treasured in Baoyuan Pavilion for many years. They are all high-quality ancient books. Since Young Master Chen wants them, how about 2000 taels a piece?"

"1000 taels." Chen Ming directly counter-offered.

"This..." Steward Gu showed hesitation on his face, and seemed to be hesitant.

"It's just some secret books that have been deliberately made ancient, and it's not an isolated copy."

Chen Ming looked at Steward Gu, his face seemed a little impatient: "Aside from these, I don't believe you didn't leave a copy."

"That's fine." Manager Gu said reluctantly, full of entanglements, "That's 1000 taels."

Seeing that the deal was concluded, Chen Ming directly stretched out his hand, took out a bank note from his pocket, put it on the wooden table, and then turned around to leave.

"Mr. Chen." Behind him, Steward Gu's voice continued.

Standing at the same spot, after accepting the banknote, Gu Guanshi's tangled and hesitant face was completely gone, and now his face was full of bright smiles: "I know there is a place where there may be some martial arts cheats, I don't know if the young master interested in?"

"Huh?" Chen Ming's footsteps froze.

"Of course, compared to those released by Baoyuan Pavilion, there are some problems with the source of the cheats released there."

Behind him, at the wooden table, seeing Chen Ming stop, Gu Guanshi continued to speak.

"Black market?" Suddenly, Chen Ming understood what the other party meant.
