[Continue to fight with Lin Qi, subdue him, and must ask him what is the matter of the state that he has practiced [Return to One Classic]]

……

If they get separated, it will be easy to find Xiang Renjie after all.And Zheng Zhuo can heal his wounds, it is expected that Xiang Renjie will not give up on himself easily.

The most urgent task right now is to find out about Lin Qi's situation.

Zheng Zhuo fought with Lin Qi again.His [little grappling hand] has not been around for an hour, and it always slips off.

Fortunately, the other party was seriously injured.

The two stalemate for a long time, Lin Qi was finally unable to resist due to the loss of Qi and blood.Zheng Zhuo finally got a chance to pull the hemp rope used to bind firewood by the side of the house, tied up Lin Qi, and threw him into a side alley.

"Old thief, little thief, a nest of snakes and rats! This is a felony!"

That Lin Qi didn't lose consciousness. He was cursing, not clean.

Zheng Zhuo thought to himself, this guy really hasn't seen much in the world.They are all tied up, and they still have to act like a hero.

If you come across a bad-tempered master, wipe him on the neck now, whoever is not an official or a thief, go to Huangquan Road and yell again.

However, Zheng Zhuo is a good citizen, a gentle and good person.So, he just tore off Lin Qi's forehead and stuffed it into his mouth.

"...uh uh uh uh..."

It's much quieter now.

Zheng Zhuo dragged him through an alley, looked around, saw a dilapidated woodshed, threw Lin Qi into it, and dodged in by himself.

He kicked Lin Qi into the firewood pile to make room, and closed the door.

There is air leaking from the roof of the firewood house, and there is still light penetrating in, which is just convenient for Zheng Zhuo to check the situation outside.

He climbed up to have a look, and he could see the inn and intersection where the incident happened through the gap in the woodshed.

"good."

Zheng Zhuo sat down on the pyre.It's a bit cold facing the gap where the air leaks, but it's better than being able to see the situation clearly.

In this way, as long as Xiang Renjie comes back to look for him, he will definitely be able to see it.

Zheng Zhuo was full of plans.He consciously found an excellent geomantic treasure, and now, he is waiting for Xiang Renjie to come back.

However, Xiang Renjie didn't appear again until the sky was getting brighter and a rooster crowed in the distance.

……

a few days later.

market.

"Hey, guest officer, what do you think of this batch of baskets? Do you need to buy some?"

"My lord, what do you think of our bamboo hat?"

"Hey, no, no, I'm in a hurry. Next time, next time."

Zheng Zhuo pushed away several enthusiastic street vendors who were trying to sell to him, and walked forward through them.

Why these people are so enthusiastic, he knows in his heart.

Because he is now using [disguise] to dress up as a traveling merchant.This was the only occupation that the tattered mandarin jacket he picked up in the woodshed could pretend to be.

This outfit makes it easier for him to enter the market.Although it is inevitable to avoid the trouble of being accosted, he is still quite satisfied.

Because, where there is a market, there is intelligence.

What he needs most now is information.

It was the third day since that turbulent night.Zheng Zhuo had already been to this market countless times.

However, there is still no news of Xiang Renjie.

It is said that fish and dragons are mixed in the market, and if you walk around, you can hear everything.But these days, Zheng Zhuo only heard them talking about someone fighting in the inn in the middle of the night.

I don't know if someone saw it with their own eyes. The fighting scene was described vividly, but no one knew what happened next.

After a long time, Zheng Zhuo couldn't stand it any longer.

He also thought about whether Xiang Renjie was chased by the pursuers and fled to Luoling alone?
In this way, should I set off as soon as possible?
However, I have also inquired about the outermost areas of Yujia Town, and no one with a similar appearance to Xiang Renjie has left recently.

Xiang Renjie didn't bring any luggage, and Zheng Zhuo quietly took it out from the hotel room last night.With his tattered clothes, unkempt face, but not a beggar's state, he is still recognizable on this trade road.No one had seen him, and there was a good chance he was still in town.

Although there is also the possibility that he left quietly at night without being seen by anyone...

But Zheng Zhuo thinks it is more likely that he is still in town.

the reason is simple.

"..." Zheng Zhuo lowered his head slightly.

Aside, a man in a green robe bought two catties of dried meat at the market, paid and left.

Zheng Zhuo had an impression of the clothes this person was wearing.He has a set on him, which was stripped from Lin Qi's follower.

People wearing clothes similar to that of Lin Qi can still be seen in the town.This proves that the other party also believes that Xiang Renjie has not left here.

Now Zheng Zhuo knew that those people in green robes hunting Xiang Renjie were all sent by Kunlun.

He would know because Lin Qi told him personally.

……

At Maoshi yesterday, the sky was dawning.Various shops opened, and the streets gradually gained popularity.

Guessing that Xiang Renjie would not choose to return when there were too many people, Zheng Zhuo jumped off the beam of the firewood house.After returning to the pile of firewood with a simple knife in his hand, he forced Lin Qi to question instead.

That Lin Qi was wounded and tied up again. He didn't sleep for a long time, and he was tortured mentally.Not long after Zheng Zhuo gestured with the knife, Lin Qi made a wild move.

It turned out that although Lin Qi was the son of the head of the Five Lakes Bodyguard Agency, he was only ranked fourth, with two older brothers and one older sister.

The eldest brother and the second brother are already starting to inherit the family business and have made some achievements.In order to prevent the brothers from fighting against each other, the head of bodyguard Lin did not let Lin Qi come to learn the sword skills at home, but sent him to be a registered disciple with the Kunlun faction, which can be regarded as the bond between the bodyguard and the Kunlun faction.

If so, the martial arts that Zheng Zhuo saw in [Appraisal], such as Taiqing Gangqi, Sanyin Hand, and Luoyan Palm, are all Kunlun School's unique skills.The male and female twin swords are one of the Kunlun Seven Soldiers.

This time Lin Qi didn't run the escort, but the escort agency joined forces with the Kunlun faction to act together.

The Escort wanted to capture the wanted criminal Xiang Renjie.And the Kunlun School...

"To avenge Master."

It turned out that one of the uncles of the Kunlun School was seriously injured by Xiang Renjie on the mountain that day, and he insisted on returning to the school, and finally died of his injuries.

Zheng Zhuo probably understood the situation.

But the most critical content has not been asked yet.

"So, why did you [Return to One Classic]?"

He put the knife across Lin Qi's chin.

"I... I don't know what Gui Yijing..."

"Then why did you do [Cloud Pailing Palm]? How do you usually practice? No... have you practiced any strange skills recently?"

"I...I don't know...I've been following Master Xuanji..."

"Tell me everything you know."

Lin Qi told the situation intermittently.

He didn't understand the situation himself, but Zheng Zhuo understood the general idea.

It turned out that Kunlun sent an elder named Xuanjizi who had the deepest friendship with the assassinated uncle, and it was Xuanjizi who took care of him before the uncle died.

After his uncle passed away, that Xuanjizi began to study a strange martial art.He not only practiced by himself, but also let his apprentices practice, and often observed everyone.This Lin Qi is one of his disciples, so naturally he also practiced this exercise.

However, Xuanjizi said that it was a new exercise he came up with on the spur of the moment, and it was still being improved. He only let everyone practice it in their spare time for reference, so the disciples didn't take it to heart.

Zheng Zhuo now understood what was going on.

It is expected that the uncle also read [Gui Yi Jing] before he died, remembered some bits and pieces of content, and told this mystery before he died.So, he practiced.Because there are too many gaps and no clues, I simply let the disciples practice all of them and observe from them to see if they can sum up three or five ways.

Zheng Zhuo remembered that there were eight sects on that mountain at that time.

Is it only the Kunlun faction who stole it?Will other sects learn from it too?
If there are other sects who have also learned some 【Return to One Classic】...

You learn from me, and I learn from you.

Wow, this martial arts world can't be turned into a mess?

Zheng Zhuo was speechless secretly.

……

Back to the present time.Zheng Zhuo walked around the market again, but he didn't gain anything except meeting a disciple of the Kunlun School who came to buy meat.

He had to go back to the woodshed.

In the past few days, he found that there were not many people coming to the woodshed, and it was almost idle.Now, Lin Qi has become a hot potato in his hands.He tied Lin Qi up, it was hard to go anywhere, hard to kill, and even harder to release, so he had no choice but to live here together.Zheng Zhuo made some thin quilts and some pots with the scraps of silver he found from his followers, barely making the place livable.

Squeak.

Zheng Zhuo pushed open the door.

It was quiet inside.

Zheng Zhuo was a little strange: usually when he came back, there would be the sound of Lin Qi struggling inside.Why is it so silent today?

Could it be that Lin Qi ran away?

Zheng Zhuo quickly ran behind the pile of firewood, but saw Lin Qi lying on the ground.

He lifted it up and touched his forehead, it was as hot as a soldering iron.

It turned out that the wound on Lin Qi's body had deteriorated after all.He developed a high fever.

But there is also a little awareness.

"I...I don't want to die..."

He was put back into the quilt by Zheng Zhuo, muttering in his mouth.

"(It's not a solution to die here, there are Kunlun sects everywhere, they must be looking for this guy too. If there is a corpse, the problem will be even bigger. Why don't you get him some medicine.)"

Zheng Zhuo pondered in his heart.

Suddenly, he saw Lin Qi's panel, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I know how to make alchemy and make medicine." He said to Lin Qi, "However, you wanted my life before, so I'm very sorry to save you now."

"...save...me...everything..."

"Anything is fine? That's good." Zheng Zhuo said, "You teach me your Kunlun secrets. In exchange, I will give you a life-saving elixir."
