Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 15 015, I am a peerless genius?

Shen Lang put away his posture, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, and greeted him with a smile:

"Brother Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Hu smiled and said:

"Come to chat with you. When I came here, I saw you practicing boxing. Seeing that your boxing frame is beautiful, I couldn't help but scream. Didn't bother you?"

"No, no. I had a good chat with Brother Zhu last night, so I wanted to find an opportunity to chat with you more. If you want to find me, you can come here anytime. I welcome you!"

As Shen Lang said, he invited Zhu Hu to come in for tea.

Zhu Hu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"No, I'll come over and take a look."

After a pause, he asked again:
"Brother Shen, you... just started practicing martial arts today?"

Yesterday Master Mu said that Shen Lang has no martial arts, and with Master Mu's cultivation and eyesight, it is absolutely impossible to make a mistake.

But what makes Zhu Hu strange is that if he just started practicing martial arts today, how could Shen Lang be so proficient in boxing?

It seems that not only does not have the slightest bit of bluntness and stagnation of beginners, but the punches are swift, the footwork is quick, and the moves are connected smoothly. It is obvious that the strength has been found, and it may be possible to integrate the strength of the whole body at any time. For a share, it has officially entered the ninth rank.

When he was curious about guessing, he heard Shen Lang say:
"Brother Zhu has good eyesight, I really just started practicing martial arts today, and I'm not familiar with boxing techniques, so Brother Zhu laughed at me.",

Hearing what he said, Zhu Hu was startled for a moment, and his smile became a little complicated.

Zhu Hu's family conditions are mediocre, he has no talent in reading, and his talent in martial arts is also mediocre, so he can't find any brilliant master to teach him.

He could only rely on his cousin's relationship as a civil servant in the county government. At the age of 12, he went to a martial arts gym in the county to practice martial arts.

It took him a full month to master the boxing routines of the ninth grade of strength training.It took another three months before I became familiar with the feeling of every part of the body exerting force.In another half a year, I have just integrated my whole body's strength and officially stepped into the ninth rank.

And what about Shen Lang?

I just started practicing martial arts today, but I have already found my strength.

Then if he practiced for a few more days, wouldn't he be able to easily integrate the strength of his whole body and step into the ninth rank?

This is a rare martial arts genius!
Thinking of Shen Lang's talent in martial arts, Zhu Hu inevitably felt sour and jealous.

But soon he was relieved:
He Zhuhu is just an ordinary catcher in a small county, and there are many in Changsheng County who are more talented than him, not to mention Yingzhou Prefecture, and even the entire Great Chu Kingdom.If he wants to be jealous, can he be jealous?

Why be jealous of Shen Lang, a martial arts genius who takes many years to appear in a province or even a province?

Isn't that asking for trouble?

With a relieved mentality, Zhu Hu's smile disappeared, and he smiled heartily:
"Brother Shen, you can't be called unfamiliar with this boxing technique. I don't even have the qualifications to comment, let alone laugh at it? To be honest, if Master Mu hadn't personally concluded last night that you have never practiced martial arts, I would have I thought you had practiced martial arts for at least half a year."

"Brother Zhu, I'm a beginner. I don't have any memories of the past. I don't even know if I have seen martial artists before. I don't know much about martial arts, so I really don't know how I am practicing."

"You practice very well! If you really just started practicing martial arts today, then brother would venture to say that your talent is definitely at the level of Master Mu. It's a pity that you didn't start practicing martial arts until now. If it had been a few years earlier, your current At least you have a fifth-rank cultivation. I really don’t know what happened to your family before, but they didn’t send you to practice martial arts, and it was a waste of time for several years.”

"Hehe, it's a pity to hear Brother Zhu say that. Maybe my family wanted me to study and become an official?"

Zhu Hu's praise certainly made Shen Lang happy.

But when Zhu Hu said that he was a genius at the same level as Mu Qingxue, Shen Lang was not so convinced.

Because Zhu Hu is only a seventh-rank martial artist, and he can't even see Mu Qingxue's moves clearly. With his vision, how can he judge a person's talent?
You know, Mu Qingxue is only in her early twenties, and she is already a third-rank martial artist, and her future achievements may not stop at third rank.Even if there is no one in a hundred million masters who are first-rank martial arts masters, at least it's okay for Mu Qingxue to become a second-rank grandmaster, right?

And his Shen Lang's martial arts talent...

Well, it all depends on the strengthening that the little demon gave him back.

And the rewards aren't something you get once and for all.

Once the little demon dies, the enhancement will also disappear.

So regarding his so-called "talent", Shen Lang is still a little guilty at the moment.

Of course, when the kung fu is practiced on the body, it belongs to oneself.

In the future, if the magical skills are great, even if there is any misfortune, one or two of Shen Lang's enhancements will be abolished, and the kung fu that has been practiced on himself will not be lost.Weaken a little at most.

But of course Shen Lang would not allow such an accident or misfortune to happen.

As an unaccompanied traveler, Xiao Yao is not only a pet and a wing to him, but also his closest and most trustworthy family member.

At this time, Zhu Hu said earnestly again:
"Brother Shen, although your talent in martial arts is good, you have only just started. And the current world is too unfriendly to low-level warriors. In recent years, firearms have become more and more common. Low-level warriors like us, if we don't pay attention , may be killed by a black gun.

"So, before you achieve great feats, remember to be cautious in situations and don't force yourself. In addition, you have to learn firearms. Although we are only low-level warriors, we have kung fu, quick eyes and quick hands. Equipped with firearms, we can fight wherever we point. Well, it is also very deterrent."

As he spoke, he moved his hands on the back of his waist and pulled out two flintlock guns with a bang.

Holding a gun in each hand, he turned the heavy flintlock gun in his hand, made a beautiful move, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the rockery in the yard, aiming and shooting, and let out a "bang" sound from his mouth. Foley.

Then he looked sideways at Shen Lang, smiled and said:

"To put it bluntly, my brother and I have these two muskets in our hands. Under the sudden attack, even a sixth-rank warrior who is not paying attention will be killed by my shot. Although the musket is a bit troublesome to reload, it can be used after shooting. Before, it was quite deterrent."

As a time traveler, Shen Lang certainly would not underestimate the power of firearms.

Now he said with great interest:
"Brother Zhu, can you show me these two guns?"

Zhu Hu was not stingy either, he opened the lid of the priming pool, poured out the priming medicine inside, so as not to accidentally fire Shen Lang, and then readily handed the gun to him.

"The barrel has been filled with ammunition, but the primer has been poured out, and it can no longer be fired. You can rest assured that it will not go off."

Shen Lang stroked the gun barrel, which was thick and long enough for him to stuff his thumb in, then looked at the solid gun handle with natural patterns, and asked:

"Will this gun be too heavy? The barrel seems to be thicker and thicker than those of the soldiers' long guns. In this way, will the charge be far beyond the conventional level? Will it be very heavy when firing?" Difficult to control?"

Zhu Hu turned the other pistol and said with a smile:

"My brother, I hired a gunsmith to tailor this for me.

"The handle of the gun is made of hundred-year-old oak in the old forest of Daxue Mountain in the north, and the barrel is made of high-quality steel to make it thicker and thicker. Of course, the charge is also overcharged, and the lead is also one size larger than the bullets of long muskets. It's a full [-]% of the weight.

"Such a short gun is indeed heavy for ordinary people, and the anti-shock force of firing is also extremely strong. Ordinary people will only shoot bullets into the sky. But this is nothing to us warriors. With our strength, It can be easily controlled. And after the bullet is fired, it can be picked up to open a ladle...

"As far as the power of my two guns is concerned, let alone a sixth-rank warrior, if I hit a fifth-rank warrior, he will die suddenly on the spot.

"Of course, fifth-rank warriors are too fast to aim. Besides, fifth-rank warriors can also release their internal strength outward. Unless they shoot with guns, a seventh-rank warrior like me won't have much chance of winning with a gun in one-on-one. .

"How about it, Brother Shen is interested? Then go back to Changsheng County. I'll take you to the gunsmith and ask him to make two for you."

"The little brother thanked Brother Zhu in advance."

Shen Lang felt that what Zhu Hu said was correct. In the era of the proliferation of firearms, whether low-grade warriors have guns in their hands or not, lethality is two concepts.If you have a gun, you can kill the enemy by leaps and bounds, but if you don't have a gun, you can only be beaten violently.

So although Zhu Hu's tailor-made, refined musket with full materials must be quite expensive, Shen Lang still complied.

Now he is penniless, but isn't Mu Qingxue going to offer him "ten steps and one kill" as a reward?
With Mu Qingxue's status and status, he would definitely not be petty in making moves. Wouldn't Brother Lang be rich by then?
