Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 24 024, seeing is believing

Scorching sun.

Shen Lang was sweating profusely under the big mulberry tree, practicing boxing over and over again.

Xiao Zhao pressed his front paws to the ground, stretched his body backwards, yawned and stretched his waist, and then walked under the tree with graceful catwalks, leaped lightly, stepped on the rough bark of the big mulberry tree, and rubbed against each other. After a few moves, he climbed onto a horizontal branch about Zhang Xu from the ground.

It walked to the middle of the horizontal branch and formed a round white ball. Looking down at Shen Lang under the tree, it asked him:

[Shen Lang, it's so hot, why do you have to practice so hard?You have me, meow, you can become stronger while lying down. 】

The little fish jumped out of the water and spit out colorful bubbles:
【And me and me!No, it's mainly because of me that Shen Lang can become stronger while lying down.Cats can't, cats are too lazy, they just lie down and hide from lazy everyday, never seen it exercise.How do you look like me?Swimming and fitness all the time. 】

Xiao Zhao twitched the corner of her mouth in disdain:
[He's just a little milk cat, of course he needs to rest more and grow up!Besides, why does the fish say that Meow never exercises?Do you know what is called "Tiger Leopard Thunder"?Don't look at people lying down all day long, but when I was lying down, I was washing my marrow and cutting my body with Tiger Leopard Leiyin. 】

Xiaoyu: [ Bragging! 】

Xiao Zhao: 【I'm not bragging!If you don't believe me, go to my belly and listen to it, and you will be sure to hear the sound of "hoo, hoo, hoo". 】

Xiaoyu: [Look at Shen Lang!The cat wants to eat me again!He even tried to trick me into taking the initiative to enter its belly!Puff puff!bad cat! 】

Well, not long after it was quiet, the cat and the fish quarreled again.

"Hey, can't you be quiet for a while? I'm practicing."

Shen Lang had no choice but to smooth things over, and at the same time he waved his fist, making a crisp sound with a bang, which brought a perfect ending to the punch.

After practicing boxing, he picked up the sword again, swung it casually a few times to test the feel of the hand, and then while reminiscing about the sword technique of "ten steps, one kill", he held the sword with one hand, raised the sword body, and pointed the tip of the sword to the sky , the hilt of the sword is facing the heart, the left hand is pinching the sword formula, and it is resting on the back of the right hand holding the sword.

After making gestures, Shen Lang suddenly spoke, answering Xiao Zhao's previous question:
"Suddenly crossing over to another world, I really don't know what to do and what to do. But if you don't want to be a salted fish lying flat on your back, you have to find something interesting and meaningful for yourself. .

"So, I first set a small goal for myself, and wanted to see if I could become a master of martial arts. I had a kung fu dream when I was a child, and now I really have a chance to realize it. Why don't you give it a try?"

After speaking, he suddenly shook his head and put down his sword again.

The state of mind has not yet arrived, I can't find the feeling, and I can't swing the sword.

"It's still a little too late..."

He seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be telling Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yu:
"Forget it, let's continue practicing boxing."

In this way, Shen Lang sweated profusely and practiced boxing all afternoon.

Xiao Zhao also lay lazily on the horizontal branch, watched him practice all afternoon, and insisted that he was not lying flat to hide, but was practicing "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound".

The small fishes swam back and forth in the pond without stopping for a moment.

At night, Shen Lang cooked by himself, had a full meal, fed the cats and fish, took a rest, and started to cook the medicinal bath pack.

After soaking in the medicinal bath for the second time, Shen Lang came back to practice boxing again. He no longer needed thirteen long strokes to make an empty sound, but was able to twist his whole body into one every seven or eight strokes. Butt, the peak of the fist burst out a clear and empty cry.

"Sure enough, you get what you pay for. A medicine bath pack of five silver dollars is effective. It's a pity that it's too expensive. But now is the time to make rapid progress, and it's worth the money. I'll go make it tomorrow A few pairs. It is estimated that in three to five days, after soaking in a few times of medicinal baths, I am afraid that every move will be able to gather the strength of the whole body."

Of course, now he can only integrate his strength during "practice" and concentrate his strength on one point to explode.

When it comes time to "fight" in actual combat, the situation changes in an instant. I'm afraid I can't even use a complete move, and I have to change my move. I'm afraid I don't have time to store up the energy to launch an explosive ultimate move.

"Ninth-rank great success, at least one complete move must be used to store energy in order to play full strength. For eighth-rank, a little bit of energy is also required, but the move does not need to be fully displayed, half-moves are fine. Up to the seventh rank of martial arts, Fang Neng doesn't need any power accumulation, he can punch and palm at will, and hit the whole body's strength in every gesture.

"I've only practiced the method now. If I fight with someone with my fists and feet, I can only rely on my agility and strength to play with my life. If I'm impatient, I can only use the eight punches. But fortunately, what I practice is swordsmanship. My Fighting methods and killer moves are all in the swordsmanship."

It's just that it's still a little bit of a feeling now, the sword move can't be held back, and there is still a chance.

late at night.

Shen Lang went to the woodshed to get a shovel, and led Xiao Zhao out over the wall. Relying on the agility of a cat, he avoided the watchman and the night watchman, and came to the base of the northern city wall.

The city wall of the small county town is not very high, the rammed-earth city wall is only over a foot long, and it is still in disrepair, full of potholes and cracks.

Shen Lang climbed up the city wall easily, then jumped down directly, and walked towards the mass grave.

He has keen five senses, and the moon and stars are sparse tonight, so he can travel easily at night even without lighting a torch.

Not long after, I went out of the city ten miles and came to a mass grave on a small hill.

Most of the people buried in the mass graves are unclaimed corpses of foreigners.Local people who have no relatives, reasons, and no one to rely on are also buried here.

Therefore, there are no grave mounds here, and the occasional few grave mounds are all small earthen graves piled up by poor families with no land and no land.

Shen Romance walked among the mass graves, ignoring the occasional forest fires, looking for the target.

Xiao Zhao put his hand on his shoulder and asked him:

【Shen Lang, you brought me here in the middle of the night, what exactly are you looking for?Catching ghosts?But people still don't know how to use ghosts! 】

"It's not about catching ghosts, it's about finding a dead person for verification."

Shen Lang looked like a 17-year-old stunned young man, but his actual age before time travel was already in his 20s—well, even in his 20s, he was still a good young man whose blood was not cold and oily.

But in any case, young people in their 20s are no easier to fool than a 17-year-old hot-blooded boy, and they will not be easily picked on by others with a few words and a few words, so that the hot-blooded one will be reckless.

After all, Shen Lang only heard about the evil deeds of the eldest son of the Zhao family.

Although what Zhu Hu and Zhao Junshan said was true, and even though the shopkeepers of the gunsmith shop and the sword shop were terrified of Young Master Zhao and his reputation changed, Shen Lang still insisted that there was no picture and no truth.

He has to see it with his own eyes to be truly convinced.

"The people who were buried last night, the traces of breaking the ground should be very fresh. People in small counties don't die every day, and even if ordinary people die, they won't be buried in mass graves. It didn't rain last night or today, so it shouldn't be Hard to find."

While talking to Xiao Zhao, Shen Lang carefully searched for fresh ground breaking marks.

But after a while, he really found a place.

"It's here!"

He put Xiao Zhao down, told it to let him out, and then waved the shovel to dig up the soil.

He is a ninth-rank entry, with great strength, abundant physical strength, enhanced agility, and strong body coordination ability. The shovel swings like a windmill, and digging is effortless.

Not long after, a shallow pit was dug, exposing a corner of the straw mat.

"The burial is so shallow, a heavy rain may wash out the body, or even be dug out by wild dogs... If the buried girl is really the girl of the Zhao family, then the Zhao family is really unscrupulous!"

Shen Lang shook his head, and carefully shoveled away the floating soil on the straw mat. When he lifted the straw mat, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his face became gloomy like iron.

Wrapped in the straw mat was a girl who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

She was naked, without any scars on her face, but her face was distorted and her eyes were wide open, as if she had endured great despair and pain before she died.

And on her...
