Longevity in martial arts begins with the fusion of martial arts

Chapter 17 Snooping

Passing through the secret passage is a long underground street.

There are many shops on both sides, the light is dim, and lanterns are hung outside. People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, so seeing things is not a problem.

Pedestrians on the street all wore masks like Lu Yuan.

There are also some warriors setting up stalls along the street.

Most of these items are not clean.

Some of them were simply stolen goods, and they were all sold off in order to sell off the stolen goods.

The goods for sale are also in a mess, with many items whose origins cannot be seen, which attracts people to rush to pick them up.

Lu Yuan secretly cursed, but it was a pity that his system was not in this direction. Otherwise, based on the number of paths, he would have to pick up some fragments of the magic weapon and go back.

Wandering all the way, I came to a weapons shop with a dazzling array of swords, guns, axes and axes.

"Boss, do you have any clean goods?" Lu Yuan knocked on the counter.

Most of the items hanging in the store are stolen goods, and you might get into trouble if you buy them back.

"Honorable guest, what weapons do you need?" A hunchbacked old man lay on a chair and did not get up to receive him.

"Broad sword! Forged with hundreds of steels!" Lu Yuan didn't take it seriously and expressed his needs.

He originally had about 120 taels on hand, but after visiting several major martial arts schools, he spent 70 taels.

Later, I received my monthly salary, and after spending some money, I still had some leftover. Now I still have a total of 60 taels.

An ordinary steel knife only costs 12 taels of silver, but a hundred-forged steel knife costs about taels of silver.

"Mortal soldiers or spiritual soldiers?" The old man looked at Lu Yuan from top to bottom.

"You still have spiritual soldiers here?" Lu Yuan was surprised.

Ordinary weapons cannot withstand Qi and blood, so they can only rely on their sharpness to defeat the enemy.

Weapons made of special materials can be refined by the warrior's blood and can be commanded like arms.

However, such weapons are extremely rare and expensive.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, the old man immediately lost interest: "A mortal soldier, right?"

Lu Yuan felt bored and could only nod.

"Your honor, please wait a moment."

Not long after, the hunchbacked old man took out a brand new Baitang steel knife.

"This sword is called 'Fierce Sun'. It weighs thirty-six kilograms and is three feet and six inches long. It is made of red flame stainless steel. It is also the best among ordinary soldiers."

Lu Yuan took the broad knife.

The blade is sharp and as thin as a cicada's wing.

The blade opened and closed widely, flashing with cold light.

Lu Yuan flicked his fingers and made a clanging sound.

He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"What's the price?"

……

Lu Yuan walked out of the shop with a hundred-smelting knife on his back and a look of pain on his face.

This knife was more expensive than an ordinary steel-making knife, costing him a full 18 taels of silver.

However, he really liked it and reluctantly bought it.

Wrap it carefully in cloth and carry it behind your back.

We came to a shop called "Li Lou" again.

Lilou's intelligence business is said to be not limited to Heishan City, but has a certain influence in the entire Hengshan County.

"Your honor, please take a seat."

Jie Yin led Lu Yuan to a cubicle to sit down, served him some tea, and then left.

When Lu Yuan came in, he saw many people coming in and out of the cubicle. It was obvious that business was very good.

After waiting for a while, a graceful and plump woman came in and sat down.

"Slave Yuehua, I wonder what the young master wants to know?" When Lu Yuan was stunned, the woman spoke first.

"I wonder how your building charges? To be honest, I have limited financial resources." Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze.

"Young Master, can you tell me what you want to ask about? We'll make a quote later." Yuehua covered her mouth and smiled, showing off her mature charm.

Lu Yuan nodded.

"I want to ask about two things."

"First, I want to acquire a health-preserving skill. In addition to the kidnapped miracle doctor, there are other clues."

"The second is the situation in the city. Da Chen is now in a precarious situation. I am shocked to hear that this black wind thief has coerced good people, gathered in Xiaoshan Forest, and attacked Wubao. I don't know the details. Will he continue to invade the city? "

After Yuehua listened, he took out a trumpet-like object from under the table and gave some instructions.

Not long after, an attendant came in holding several books.

"Master, please wait for a moment."

Yuehua said politely, and then started looking through the case files.

Lu Yuan thought of something again and added: "One more thing. There are rumors that the Thirteen Black Wind Thieves slaughtered the village and performed blood sacrifices. They can attract demons to possess them and make them invulnerable. Is it true?" Instinctively, he will naturally not let go of any rumors that are “against common sense”.

After all, he is the biggest deviant.

If there is a new power system, he must at least understand a little bit about it.

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and waited for the young woman to read the files.

Not long after, I saw her gently closing a few files.

"Young master, I've been waiting for a long time." She smiled apologetically, showing her courtesy.

"These three things, there is a clue to the health-preserving power, and I will quote you 800 yuan."

"I can give you detailed information about the Black Wind Thief, and I'll quote you twenty taels of silver."

"As for the blood sacrifice to attract demons, I have no way of confirming it. However, there are some speculations. If the young master wants to know, I will quote you one hundred taels of gold."

Lu Yuan was shocked.

A guess, it actually costs a hundred taels of gold?

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s worth the price, comparable to a spiritual weapon!

Does it mean that there is other important relevant information?

Similar events?

A secret organization?

A secret power system?

Lu Yuan felt like a hundred claws scratching his heart for a moment, but he could only look at the ocean and sigh!

One hundred taels of gold was not enough even if sold to him.

He sighed helplessly: "Then let's take the first two."

He took out a money bag, counted the number, and threw it away.

Yuehua took it and smiled.

"This health-preserving skill has been inherited by all the six medical clinics in Fucheng. This is the roster. Sir, please take a look."

Lu Yuan was startled. No wonder he accepted eight hundred articles. This was probably something that any passerby in Fucheng could find out.

He took it, glanced at it, and put it in his arms.

I thought to myself that I have to find time to go to Fucheng.

However, although it is just a health-preserving skill, I am afraid it will not be taught easily.

You have to plan carefully.

"What about the Black Wind Thief?" Lu Yuan asked.

"This is the file of the Black Wind Thief. Sir, please take a look at it."

"I am instructing someone to make a copy and give it to the Young Master later."

"Including the movements of the Black Wind Thieves in the past few months, the strength of the Thirteen Taibos, and our forecast of the next movements of these thieves."

Lu Yuan opened the file and read it carefully.

As soon as I opened it, I was shocked.

This Black Wind Thief has gathered more than 7,000 people!

You know, the Black Mountain City Guards only have a little over a thousand people in total!

No wonder they were able to break through the Huang family's Wubao.

No wonder the city has been wrangling for two or three months but no one has left the city to suppress the bandits.

The further you scroll down, the more shocking it becomes.

The Black Wind Thieves have become more and more powerful in the past six months, slaughtering villages and robbing roads, causing countless victims.

There were even Ming Jin warriors who made a surprise attack at night in an attempt to kill the bandit leader, only to have his head thrown back into the city the next day. How arrogant.

"How come this bandit has a Mingjin warrior?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

It should be noted that after practicing this martial art, they have gained strength, and they are all prominent figures in Black Mountain City. Even if they become bandits, they will not be nameless.

"I don't know about this building, maybe they are from outside?" Yuehua's voice was a little erratic.

Lu Yuan couldn't ask further. It was probably paid content again.

"Will there be an organization to suppress bandits in the city this month?" Lu Yuan saw a message.

It is said that each of the four major families sent out a thousand people to cooperate with the city guards to suppress bandits and sweep up.

This is a big deal.

Several major aristocratic families had raised so many private soldiers in Wubao, which was beyond Lu Yuan's expectation.

This Da Chen has probably been eaten away by these aristocratic families a long time ago.

There are only 5,000 people working with the city guards, which doesn't look like much.

But almost all of the private soldiers of the aristocratic families were wearing armor, and they were not comparable to bandits.

Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The Huang family was still hurt from being beaten.

He was really afraid of these thieves entering the city.

At least now I don't have to run away.

The strength of the rest of the Thirteen Taibao was swept away by Lu Yuan, who was divided into thieves and bandits.

When the attendant finished copying, Lu Yuan took it into his arms and thanked him before leaving the building.
