A master of supernatural powers who started from low martial arts

Chapter 66 Smoke is not as poisonous as the human heart

The next morning, Lin Xingchao, master and apprentice left Fengyang Mansion.

They disguised themselves as vegetable farmers and carried burdens out of the city. The whole process went smoothly without any twists and turns, which also made Li Junxian's master and apprentice who came to see them off at the city gate in person completely relieved.

After bidding them farewell and returning to the Expo Theater.

Lu Yuan immediately took out the "Wind and Thunder Jue Sword" gifted by Lin Xingchao and shared it with Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu.

Originally, he gave it to his master Li Jun to study first, but he didn't know that the other person just flipped through it and returned it to him.

According to Li Junxian, this swordsmanship is very famous. In the previous dynasty, it was as famous as Po Gang Shen Fist, the top secret skill of Shen Fist Sect.

However, time has passed and time has passed, and when the Po Gang Shen Fist was passed down to their generation, most of it was incomplete. He and Lin Xingchao had only learned three of the nine moves in total.

As for these three postures, they must at least reach the level of thunder in the four realms and start to exercise the lungs before they can be practiced, otherwise they will injure the internal organs.

Therefore, Li Jun has not taught it to Lu Yuan and others until now.

But the "Wind and Thunder Jue Sword" given by Lin Xingchao is not only quite complete, but also has relatively low requirements. You only need the level of the Three Realms Bone Forging to try to practice it. I don't know where it came from.

Although today is the age of guns and artillery, it is also necessary for warriors to learn a weapon to fight in addition to fists and kicks. In addition, "Wind and Thunder Jueming Sword" is also a first-class swordsmanship, so Li Junxian not only did not mind, but I really support Xu Dahu and others to learn and master it.

then.

On the same day, Xu Dahu and Xu Erhu excitedly copied down the secret book, and then asked Lu Yuan to figure it out and study it together. When they encountered something they didn't understand, they asked Li Jun for advice.

Four or five days later.

this day.

In the small courtyard, the sound of tinkling gold and iron was endless. Lu Yuan and Xu Dahu were holding unopened iron swords. They were coming and going, and the practice was very lively.

It can be seen that the steps of the two people are staggered, and the shadows of swords are flying. At first, the attack seems to be quite organized, but as they fight, the moves begin to become chaotic.

It didn't take long for these rookies to peck each other. Xu Dahu swung Lu Yuan's sword away with a sword, and said proudly as if he had regained his confidence:

"Junior brother, junior brother, you still need to practice your sword skills!"

Lu Yuan didn't take it seriously and chuckled:
  "There is no other way. This Feng Lei Jue Ming Sword is quite difficult. I'm not even familiar with the sword moves yet, so I can't compare to Senior Brother."

Xu Dahu chuckled and said:
  "Don't tell me, it's not easy to stump you with this swordsmanship. Senior Brother You finally found a little bit of confidence today!"

In the year since he was accepted as a disciple by Li Junxian, Lu Yuan's martial arts progress has been making rapid progress. With God's help, he, as a senior brother, always doubts that he came to this world just to make up for it.

However, after getting the "Wind and Thunder Sword of Death", the three of them started to study at the same time. As a result, Lu Yuan's understanding and mastery of swordsmanship was mediocre, while he, as a senior brother, had a little talent, and finally managed to win back the victory.

However, Xu Erhu looked a little speechless:
  "Brother, your swordsmanship is nothing compared to half a pound. Don't laugh at anyone."

Xu Dahu was just joking. Lu Yuan didn't care at all and said with a smile:
  "This swordsmanship is indeed very rare. Second Senior Brother, please come and practice with Senior Brother. I will go back and take a rest first."

Xu Dahu and Xu Dahu did not doubt that he was there and started studying it enthusiastically again, while Lu Yuan returned to his room.

Pulling out the "Wind and Thunder Jue Sword", he couldn't help but touch his chin:

"It's really strange. I'm obviously quite talented in boxing, but when it comes to swordsmanship, I'm as good as Lu Zhishen's embroidery. Is it possible that I'm not born to practice swordsmanship?"

Martial arts talent is just a general term. In fact, it can be broken down into different categories.

Some martial arts practitioners are outstanding in boxing skills, some are outstanding in swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and there are also those who are outstanding in external skills, body skills, hidden weapon techniques, and so on.

Now it seems that his swordsmanship talent is mediocre and far inferior to boxing training.

"We don't have any talent, but we are capable."

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of [Sword Technique] among the seventy-two earth evil techniques.

Although his swordsmanship talent is ordinary, after practicing [Swordsmanship], he can master the general outline of swordsmanship in the world, and obtain the effect of clearing the sword's heart. Then practicing Fenglei Jueming Sword will be like a doctor doing elementary school math problems, it will be as easy as a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, he had a thought in his mind and immediately communicated with the heavenly book:

【Master of Heavenly Book】: Lu Yuan
  [Mastering techniques]:
  Disha-taken (human: 33%)

Disha - Guidance (Human: 25%)

Disha-Invisible (Human: 9%)

Disha - Sending Staff (Human: 6%)

Disha - medicine (human: 9%)

Disha - earth element (human: 7%)

Earth Evil - Shining Light (Human: 4%)

[Power of Luck]: 60 moments

After two months, the mastery of the seven earth evil techniques has increased to varying degrees, and the fastest ones are taking food and guidance.

Even the staff with the least number of uses, because he took the time to refine it into a staff during this period, the progress increased by 3%.

"The luck of 60 moments has been a bit low lately."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes:

"If you want to acquire the next earth-shaking technique, it will take two or three months if you save up slowly. It's time to get active."

Since the arrival of Lin Xingchao and others, he has not taken action for more than three months, so his luck has been growing slowly, and it is time to go out and harvest.

Thinking of this, he left the Expo Theater and went to the streets to inquire about information and find targets.

But this time, he went not to the market in Dongcheng, but to Nancheng.

They have been doing things in Dongcheng for a long time, and the reputation of Qingyi Guest has become a huge deterrent. Many powerful and powerful people who usually do evil things either go out to avoid the limelight or move to other urban areas.

Although this situation has made the entire Dongcheng atmosphere much clearer, there are far fewer targets to look for.

You can't keep your wool in one place. This time, he happened to change the place and catch the rain and dew. At the same time, he could avoid falling into any ambushes and traps.

then.

Lu Yuan took a rickshaw to a busy market in the south of the city, then got off the car and started wandering around.

Compared to the East City, the South City is obviously shabby and messier, with more beggars and idlers.

He just sat down in the wine shop, bought a bottle of wine from an elderly drinker, and easily learned about several notorious people in the south of the city.

These people are either powerful or powerful. Although they have been very restrained and low-key during this period, they used to be domineering and evil in Nancheng. They were notorious for their evil deeds such as promiscuous wives and daughters and disregarding human lives.

Lu Yuan wrote down the names of the people mentioned by the other party, then stood up and left the tavern, preparing to change places to inquire for detailed information.

At the same time, he discovered that he could see beggars and idlers with unkempt hair and straight bones almost everywhere in the streets and alleys.

What is different from ordinary beggars is that these people are not emaciated due to hunger, but the kind of skinny and skinny people whose flesh, flesh and even spirit have been corroded by something.

He was thoughtful and passed by a narrow alley at the end of the street. A burst of noise came, and Lu Yuan turned his head and saw a skinny figure in a ragged coat in the depths of the alley, standing in front of a half-open door, begging with tears streaming down his face:

"Master, Master Qi! Just show your kindness and let me take a sip. I really can't stand it, little brother!"

"I spent at least two to three hundred silver dollars in your restaurant. I even sold my wife, so you just miss the past and let me have a bite and save me!"

However, in the face of the other party's pleading, an impatient curse came from the door:

"Get the hell out of here Hou San, do you think I'm the one who runs a charity? I don't care if you die!"

"No matter how much you spent before, it was all taken into your lungs. You were happy, and now you are here to talk about it?"

"Go, go, go! If you make any noise here again, I will break your legs!"

As he said that, a big foot stretched out from behind the door, kicked the man named Hou San down hard, and then closed the door hard.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan immediately narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.

Hou San was kicked in the chest and was lying on the ground coughing violently. When he noticed Lu Yuan walking towards this side, he suddenly became excited. Regardless of the pain, he crawled towards this side using his hands and feet:

"Master, this master, you also come to the opium den to have fun, right!?"

"Little brother Hou San, please give me a bite. I will make you cows and horses, kill people and set fires, I can do anything!"

Hou San was shaped like a skeleton, his face and body were almost all skin and bones, and he was crying due to his addiction to cigarettes, making him look extremely ugly.

Lu Yuan kicked it away, threw a silver dollar in his hand, and said calmly:
  "Come here and answer a few questions for me. If you satisfy me, I will reward you with this silver dollar."

Hou San's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded wildly in surprise: "Okay, okay, whatever you want to ask, I will tell you!"

Lu Yuan looked at him and led him out of the alley to a deserted corner.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Hou San was wearing a shabby coat, staring closely at the silver dollar in Lu Yuan's hand, and tremblingly said:
  "What do you want to ask me?"

Lu Yuan said slowly:
  "The one just now must have been a private smoking shop. Who opened it?"

"Master, you don't even know this?"

Perhaps it was the biting cold wind that eased the craving for cigarettes. Hou San said in surprise:

"Only the Money Gang can open a private smoking den in Nancheng. The court is cracking down now, and only the Money Gang can get the goods from the coast!"

The Money Gang is one of the three major gangs in Fengyang Mansion and the mortal enemy of the Qinglong Gang. Not long after Lu Yuan entered the Expo Theater, he had a ring with their gang members.

The south of the city is the area of ​​influence of this gang. He who rarely comes here naturally does not know the specific situation and asked:

"How many private smoking dens like this have been opened by money?"

Hou San didn't know who Lu Yuan was or why he asked such a question, but he just wanted to get the silver coins and go be happy and was too lazy to care about so much, so he poured beans out of a bamboo tube and said:
  "There are at least a dozen of these private smoking dens in Nancheng, and they sell at least a thousand kilograms of goods every month. But in the past few months, I don't know why most of the cigarette dens have been closed. I heard that the money gang is afraid of the Tsing Yi customers. Come to the door, so I can avoid the limelight.”

Lu Yuan smiled coldly: "Then do you know anything about this money gang?"

Hou San said urgently: "Of course, the Qianqian Gang is the dominant force in Nancheng. Who doesn't understand? The Qianqian Gang claims to have three thousand gang members, which is as famous as the Qinglong Gang and the Shahe Clan. The gang leader Jin Taihong and Jin Ye are very famous, and there are three major hall masters under his command." ."

As Hou San told, the general situation of the Money Gang was revealed in front of Lu Yuan.

The Money Gang is the largest gang in the Nancheng area. It is in charge of all kinds of gray and black industries and is extremely powerful. The leader of the gang, Jin Taihong, is even more famous.

When he was young, Jin Taihong was known as the number one young master in the south of the city. He once defeated more than ten long-established masters in January, which made him famous.

It has been twenty years since he founded the Money Gang. Although he is now in his fifties, it is said that he has reached the fifth level of blood refining in martial arts in the past few years. He is the strongest person in the entire Money Gang, the Dinghai Shenzhen, and is famous in the south of the city.

Because of this person's existence, the Money Gang, the Qinglong Gang and the Shahe Gang were listed as the three major gangs and have remained standing for twenty years.

And it was precisely because of him that the Money Gang opened gambling stalls, brothels, illegal salt shops, slaves and trade and other gray and black industries, wreaking havoc in the Nancheng area.

And in the past two years, the Qian Gang has somehow hooked up with the Shinra Corporation along the coast. Every year, they smuggle a large amount of tobacco to Fengyang Mansion, and then make it into hibiscus paste and sell it.

Fengyang Mansion is such a big place, and the area south of the city has the most opium dens. With money helping to clear the way, even if someone reports to the Yamen, they will just pretend to come to check, and even disclose the information of the person who reported it to the government afterwards. Giving money to help whistleblowers often suffers extremely cruel retaliation.

Over time, illicit smoking dens and hibiscus creams became rampant in the south of the city. If a large number of ordinary people and even wealthy people were accidentally tempted, they would soon become addicted to cigarettes and lose their lives and wealth. .

This smoky situation has been going on for two years. It was only a few months ago that the Tsing Yi Ke came out, which made the Money Gang greatly restrained and closed many illicit smoking dens, but a few cigarette dens were still open secretly.

"Kim Tae Hong"

Lu Yuan chewed on the name and immediately put it on his must-kill list.

As a modern person, I naturally hate the word poison.

What the Money Gang and even Kim Tae-hong have done is a real disaster for the country and the people, poisoning the minds and bodies of all people. The harm and disaster caused are ten times and a hundred times greater than those of corrupt officials, bullies and tyrants.

Even if it is risky to target the blood refining martial arts masters in the fifth realm, he will still kill them!
  "grandfather?"

While Lu Yuan's thoughts were swirling, Hou San was already urging impatiently:
  "Are you done asking?"

Lu Yuan came to his senses.

He was about to throw the silver dollar in his hand to the other party, but suddenly remembered something and asked:
  "I heard earlier that you sold your own wife just to smoke cigarettes?"

With more and more tears and runny nose, Hou San said with a sad face:

"Sir, there's nothing I can do about it. This hibiscus ointment is too expensive and I can't stop smoking it. Every time I think about quitting, it's like ten thousand ants biting my heart. I've been smoking for the past two years and I've lost all my money. I’ve run out of cigarettes and am in debt. I have no choice but to sell my wife, otherwise I won’t be able to live at all.”

Lu Yuan's face was expressionless: "Last question, where did you sell your wife?"

Hou San hesitated and said: "Sell, sold to Liuyan Alley"

Liuyan Lane is a gathering place for prostitutes and brothels.

Smoking is certainly poisonous, but it is even more poisonous to people's hearts.

Lu Yuan was silent after hearing this.

Then he threw the silver dollar in his hand without saying a word.

Hou San was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to catch it, and shouted ecstatically:

"Thank you, thank you sir! If you like this, wait until I come out and take you to find her!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Yuan's response, he clutched the silver dollar and ran towards the illicit cigarette shop in the alley.

however.

Just when he rushed to the back door of the opium shop with a distorted and excited expression, he was about to knock on the door.

snort!
  In broad daylight, a golden light flashed through the sky, and Hou San felt a sudden pain in his heart.

Lowering his head, he saw a bloody hole in his chest, as if his heart had been broken.

Covering his chest, the silver dollar was wet with blood.

Hou San fell to the ground in great fear and pain, and then used his last bit of strength to turn his head and look back, only to find that the alley behind him was empty, with no sign of anyone.
