Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 31 031, natural jade bones

Send Mr. Zhang away.

Young Master Zhao returned to the hall, looking at the skeletons with a gloomy face, curling and stretching his fingers like twitching, with an extremely violent emotion surging in his heart.

He really wanted to pull any maid over here, crush each other's bones one by one, and listen to the most beautiful sound in the world to him, accompanied by the girl's miserable screams, the sound of the girl's bones being broken and smashed into pieces , to vent the anger in my heart.

But Mr. Zhang's warning kept reverberating in his mind, which forced him to suppress the violence in his heart.

In case Mu Qingxue finds out...

The people of Shenchuitang will not give face to Duke Ying...

You are white, so you don't need to go through the procedure, but kill first and play later...

Young Master Zhao's chest rose and fell sharply, took another deep breath, and cursed in a low voice:
"You little bastard surnamed Mu! Sooner or later, I will use you as a target for practicing kung fu!"

But these are just incompetent and furious words.

Even if Mu Qingxue didn't have the identity of the Shenchaotang, with her own cultivation of the third rank of martial arts, even the Yingguo Duke's government had to be cautious and weigh it carefully if they wanted to deal with her.

Young Master Zhao is a waste of both aptitude and savvy, relying solely on countless resources, he has piled up his cultivation base to the seventh rank, but he can't even train his internal strength. Why should he miss Mu Qingxue?

He also knew that he could only be incompetent and furious. After eating his mouth, he became more and more angry for a while. He strode to a corner of the hall, opened a secret mechanism, and entered an underground secret room.

What is placed in this underground secret room are real human bones and skeletons.

In the basement, Young Master Zhao vented his anger, destroying only one of the human bones and skeletons in his collection, and then stopped.

The last remaining skeleton, with slender and petite bones, was no higher than Young Master Zhao's heart, but it was actually the skeleton of a child.

Its bone surface is covered with a layer of crystal clear enamel, and under the reflection of the pearls inlaid on the roof of the secret room, there is a faint luster of jade.

Young Master Zhao looked at this precious collection that was collected here three years ago, his fingers kept curling into claws, and then stretched out, he was not willing to destroy it for a long time.

"For you, I have paid a huge price... Not only have I been forced to live in Changsheng County for three years, I am afraid I will have to suffer for another three years... You are my most precious collection, how can I be so easily lost? destroy you?"

Young Master Zhao muttered to himself, looking obsessively at this nearly perfect slender skeleton, "But today, I really can't help it... Just, just have a little fun, just a little bit of fun... "

He pinched the first phalanx of the little finger of the slender skeleton's left hand with two fingers, exerted a little force, and with a crackling sound, he crushed that phalanx, which was tougher and denser than the bones of an ordinary adult man.

Hearing this crisp sound, Young Master Zhao shivered violently, a morbid flush appeared on his cheeks, and he murmured to himself tremblingly:
"As expected of a natural jade bone... The sound of the bones breaking is simply... the sound of heaven..."

Resisting the urge to destroy another phalanx, Young Master Zhao turned around decisively and left the collection room.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lose control of his surging passion and do something that he would regret——

Born with jade bones, and used countless precious elixir to wash the marrow, cut the veins, and strengthen the bones since childhood. Such a precious and perfect collection, of course, should be preserved and enjoyed slowly. How can it be completely destroyed once?

When Young Master Zhao left the underground chamber.

Xiao Zhao, who had memorized the method of opening the secret room mechanism, also walked briskly, left the Zhao Mansion, and went to report the information to Shen Lang.

……

[Big discovery, Shen Lang, meow has a big discovery! 】

"What big discovery?"

[It turns out that the eldest son of the Zhao family has provoked a powerful enemy...]

When Xiao Zhao finished telling the information he heard vividly in his heart, Shen Lang couldn't help frowning slightly, and said:

"It's no wonder that Zhao Mengshan has such a family background and backing, but he chooses to live in a small place like Changsheng County. It turns out that he provoked a powerful enemy and killed the daughter of a fourth-rank true qi realm warrior... a fourth-rank true qi realm warrior , isn't it like strangling an ant to death like Zhao Mengshan, an iron waste who barely reached the seventh rank?"

[Shen Lang, is this news useful? 】

"Uh...Actually, it's not very useful. After all, we have just arrived in your place and have no relatives in the world. We haven't even figured out the situation in Changsheng County. When we left Changsheng County, our eyes were dark. Where can we find a name? A fourth-rank martial artist that we don’t even know about? Even if luck explodes and we find it, when we find that martial artist, we don’t know how many innocent girls will have been killed.”

[What about Mu Qingxue?Judging by the tone of that surnamed Zhang, the people in Shenchuitang seem to be a bit stubborn. If Mu Qingxue knew about this, she might not stand by and watch. 】

"No matter how hard you are, she is also a member of the system. If you really killed Ying Guogong's brother-in-law, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future. No matter how she is, she is kind to us, so don't trick her in such things. Besides, she I'm busy suppressing the cult, I don't know where to go, even if I want to complain to her, I don't know how to contact her now!"

Xiao Zhao drooped his ears immediately, looking listless:
【Oh, it’s a pity that people thought that they got some incredible information...】

Shen Lang chuckled and rubbed Xiao Zhao's little head:

"The information you spied today has already helped me a lot."

【Really? 】

"Of course it is true. Now, don't we already know the place where Zhao Mengshan practiced alone? We also know his martial arts moves and the specific destructive power of his 'Tiger Claw Kungfu'. With this information, we can already know ourselves and our enemies." Yes. There is also that underground secret room, which can be used to make a big fuss..."

【Hey hey hey...】

The cat smiled triumphantly, and could not help but raise its tail.

The fish is not angry with the cat's triumphant appearance, and it pokes its head out of the clay pot, spitting out blisters:

[Shen Lang, send me to this kind of task next time, I promise to do better than cats! 】

[Tch, let's talk about it after you can stay out of the water for a long time!But, even if you are out of the water, you have no legs and can't walk, so why do you do this kind of mission of sneaking into the enemy's camp and looking for news?I have to be picked up by a big cat on the way! 】

[Hmph, a mere big cat, can you beat me?Besides, which big family doesn't have a pond?If you put me in the pond, you can still get news! 】

【Meow, are you kidding me?If I have the spare time to put you in the pond, why not just drive Wushuang and sneak in...]

[Puff puff puff, I'm so mad! 】

In things like sneaking on land, the fish really can't argue with the cat, so it can only be impotent and furious, vomits a few big bubbles, and sinks to the bottom of the basin with a flick of its tail, never wanting to talk to the cat again.

For this pair of dragon and tiger enemies who are naturally aggressive, Shen Lang is too lazy to persuade him now, holding the pottery basin in one hand, holding the kitten on his shoulder, concentrating on walking, sneaking all the way back to his house.

All night.

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Lang finished his breakfast, bid farewell to the cat and the fish, and wandered off to work at Dianmao, Yamen. As usual, he greeted Zhu Hu and Old Zhao nonchalantly. At noon, I treated him to another meal, and then...

"Brother Zhu, something is wrong today, my stomach seems to hurt a bit."

Zhu Hu: "What's the matter?"

"I don't know. Maybe men have a few days every month? Anyway, I feel like I have to ask for leave."

"..."

Maybe it's because of some kind of guilt, or maybe it's because Shen Lang treats him to a big restaurant meal every day, and maybe it's because of Mu Qingxue's relationship, but this time Zhu Hu still granted him a vacation.

So Shen Lang once again successfully left early and absent from work, went straight to the market, and purchased a large amount of daily necessities such as rice noodles, meat and eggs, fresh fish and sausages, fruits and vegetables, and moved them back home to collect some fine pen space.

The Dian Jingbi space has a fresh-keeping function, no matter how hot the weather is, no matter fresh meat, fresh fish or fresh vegetables, what is put in, what is taken out is still the same.

Not only did he purchase these daily necessities in large quantities, but he also spared no expense. He went to the sword shop and bought the remaining two ordinary iron swords, and he also casually bought a single sword in the style of three wild goose feather swords.

Obviously, Shen Lang is preparing for the failure of the operation, or the success of the operation but the deeds are exposed.

Everything is forewarned, and if not forewarned, it will be abandoned. In case of failure or exposure, you have to run away. Naturally, you have to prepare the running materials in advance.

For this reason, he also plans to invite Zhu Hu to a restaurant for a big meal every day in the next few days, and ask him about the surrounding geography.

If possible, it would be nice to get an accurate map.

It's a pity that there are no maps for sale in the bookstores in the market.

Perhaps in this era, accurate maps are still classified as military secrets. Perhaps accurate maps can only be found in the archives of the yamen. There may not be maps of the whole country. It is estimated that there are only maps of Yingzhou Prefecture at most, or even maps around Changsheng County.

After purchasing, Shen Lang went back home to practice. He not only practiced boxing and sword, but also practiced against Xiao Zhao.

[Zhao Mengshan's Tiger Claw Kung Fu is a little bit faster than my Cat Fist.Shen Lang, you must at least be able to catch my cat punch with ease, or dodge it, so that you can hope to avoid Zhao Mengshan's tiger claw skill.

[But don't think about parrying, his claws are so powerful, even copper and iron can make quite deep marks.If you are scratched by him, no matter where you are scratched, your skin will be torn apart, and even your tendons will be broken... Now, are you ready? 】

Although Xiao Zhao's heartfelt voice was still childish and childish, the tone sounded a bit serious.

Shen Lang couldn't help becoming serious, and nodded solemnly:

"Ready."

[The meow started.Meow... ah da da da da da da da...]

"..."

[Ask for a ticket~! 】
