Martial Arts Song

Chapter 286: Question
Ok?
Seeing this scene, Chen Qing couldn't help but be surprised again.

Frankly speaking, he gave out the two hundred dollars with the intention of testing the person's character.

In other words, his real thought was that he wanted to use the two hundred dollars to get rid of the other party.

Although the per capita salary level in "Hu Hai" is much higher than that in remote mountainous areas such as Qianyang.

But two hundred yuan is not a small amount for the low-level migrant workers who work in the sea, especially for someone like Jiang Ying who is still young and has worked in a low-level job like shoe shiner. For someone who knows how hard it is to make money, two hundred yuan is no less than a windfall.

If someone doesn't have a long-term vision, he will most likely take the two hundred yuan and run away, and not come to see Chen Qing the next day.

And this is exactly what Chen Qing wanted.

In his current situation, he really didn't want to have a female disciple.

However, I didn’t expect that the “girl” in front of me would refuse so straightforwardly.

Chen Qing had thought that after the test, the other party would change into new clothes and come to see him tomorrow morning.

But that happened the next day after the other party took the money.

However, he never expected that the other party refused to take his money on the spot.

This indeed made Chen Qing look at her with new eyes, and he re-examined the "girl" in front of him who was wearing boy's clothes, had short hair, and looked a bit androgynous.

After a while, Chen Qing smiled slightly, put the money in his hand away, and said, "Okay, then come to the riverside to find me at this time tomorrow morning. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left, quickening his pace.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying immediately understood that Chen Qing didn't want her to follow him anymore, so she timidly asked, "Master, how should I address you..."

"Since you call me Master, what do you want to call me?"

Chen Qing raised his hand without looking back, waved it, and said, "However, my last name is Lin. If anyone bothers you again during this period of time, you can go to the Qijian Sect and tell them my last name."

Since this "girl" named Jiang Ying has met his requirements and passed his tests, he will not really just ignore it.

It was Chen Qing's first time coming to "Chen Xing" and he was not very clear about the situation of the three young hooligans. He didn't know whether the three young hooligans had other companions or whether they were members of local gangs.

But since he has already intervened in this matter, it is only right for him to deal with the follow-up as well.

On Chen Xing's side, the only person he currently knows is Lu Hongfeng, the old leader of the "Qijian Sect".

Although strictly speaking, they had only met once, they communicated every day for the next half month, so it was only a matter of time before they became familiar with each other.

There is nothing wrong in asking the other martial arts school to take care of this "girl" who may become his apprentice in the future.

After all, on the 15th, he fought with the kendo genius from Ryuu for the sake of the face of the "Hu Hai" warrior, so it was only right that he helped with this little thing.

"Master, is your surname Lin?... Qijian Sect..."

After hearing what Chen Qing said, Jiang Ying watched Chen Qing's back and muttered to herself.

……

After leaving "Jiangyue Road", Chen Qing strolled around other streets in "Chenhang" to familiarize himself with the local environment.

He kept walking around until around nine in the morning, almost ten o'clock, when he returned to the "Chenhang" section of Kowloon Avenue, hailed a rickshaw, and returned to "Sanlin".

By the time the driver took him back to "Sanlin", it was already past ten o'clock.

However, he did not let the driver of "Chen Xing" take him home directly, but asked him to take a detour and pass by the intersection of "Kangqiao Road" to verify his guess.

When the rickshaw passed by the intersection of "Kangqiao Road", Chen Qing, who was sitting in the rickshaw, seemed to unintentionally glance sideways at the situation inside "Kangqiao Road".

The next second, his eyes narrowed subconsciously and he quickly turned his head.

With that glance just now, he also saw clearly the current situation of "Kangqiao Road".

Today, there are no parked trucks on "Kangqiao Road". After going a distance from the street entrance, the road is blocked by wooden barricades wrapped with barbed wire.

In front of these wooden barricades wrapped with barbed wire, there are soldiers in military uniforms carrying rifles on guard. Some distance further back is the middle section of "Kangqiao Road".

The warehouse where Chen Qing had taken Tao Weifeng when he was a rickshaw driver for practicing martial arts has now become riddled with holes.

With the improvement of his vision due to the [God] value increased to 3, in the moment he just passed by, Chen Qing saw that the iron doors, wall pillars, ground, etc. of the surrounding warehouse were all covered with dense bullet holes!
Because it had only been a day, there were still some dark red bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned up.

Just as he had guessed, a fierce gun battle had taken place here!

Those army soldiers who came the day before yesterday and yesterday did come to "Sanlin" because Tao Weifeng transported a batch of guns.

Judging from the traces left here, there is no doubt that all the members of the "Sanbei Gang" must have been wiped out by the army with lightning speed!
"It seems that the official behind the 'Axe Gang' is indeed the military..."

Although there have been such speculations before.

But it was not until now, after seeing the situation on "Kangqiao Road", that Chen Qing's guess in this regard was finally verified.

The reason why I didn't come to check the situation immediately was naturally to prevent the so-called criminal psychology from returning.

"After this incident, the annexation of Sanlin is considered complete."

After verifying his guess, Chen Qing did not stay for long and continued to ride the rickshaw deeper into "Sanlin".

Then, when they were about to reach "Sanlin Town", he asked the driver to stop the car, got off and walked some distance back to Chen's house.

When he returned to the Chen family's yard, it was still about ten minutes before eleven o'clock.

"I'm home."

In the Chen family's yard, Chen Yang was enjoying the cool air on a lounge chair under the eaves as usual.

Yang Ying was preparing meals for the family as usual.

However, it is still early and we are still at the stage of picking and washing vegetables.

And Xuanfeng followed and helped.

Seeing Chen Qing coming back, Yang Ying immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Since Bingbing is back, I will go to cook now. Ayong, you can help pick the remaining vegetables."

Having said that, she walked into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Chen Qing asked curiously, "Mom, why are you so happy today?"

Yang Ying, who was in the kitchen, poked her head out and replied with a smile, "Didn't you ask that jerk Ayong to follow me all the time because you were afraid that it would be dangerous for me to go to the market to buy vegetables? But starting today, there's no need for that anymore! You don't know, that jerk Ayong has some problem. He tried to bargain with the bosses like I did, but he ended up cutting the price in half, making the bosses so angry that they almost picked up knives to chop him! I'm now a little embarrassed to bargain again, so I can only buy at the price those bosses bid. I don't know how much money I've wasted!"

After saying that, she glared at Xuanfeng, who was sitting on a small stool picking vegetables in the yard.

"I just want to save some money for Aunt Yang..."

Xuanfeng replied with a dry laugh.

After hearing this, Chen Qing looked at Xuanfeng thoughtfully.

He guessed that this guy probably used his ability of bewitchment when bargaining, and practiced on those vegetable vendors and butchers.

It's just that there's something obviously wrong with the way he bargained. Yang Ying is an experienced vegetable buyer, and those vegetable vendors and butchers don't make much money from such customers.

As a result, Xuanfeng directly took out the Dragon Slaying Sword and cut it in half, and also used his ability to bewitch others, which seriously violated the normal thinking and will of those vegetable vendors and butchers. As a result, not only did he fail to bargain, but he also aroused the anger of those bosses.

Even things like bewitching require logic.

For example, you can’t ask a person who is full of hope for life to die.

If it seriously goes against one's own will, it will naturally only backfire.

However, Chen Qing didn't care about it.

After looking at Xuan Feng, he looked at Yang Ying again, and asked knowingly with a smile: "Why don't you use it in the future?"

Yang Ying in the kitchen smiled and replied, "Because Sanlin seems to have been occupied by the Axe Gang. When Ayong and I went to buy vegetables today, the vendors in the vegetable market were discussing this matter. They said that the Sanbei Gang was smuggled arms and was destroyed by the military, and then the Axe Gang took this opportunity to annex this place. They have already interviewed the owner of the vegetable market."

"Is that so?" After hearing this, Chen Qing had a general understanding of the folk version of the matter.

Of course, he smiled and said, "That's good. I'm finally settled down."

"Who says it isn't?"

Yang Ying in the kitchen nodded in agreement.

Ordinary people have no sense of belonging to these gangs, because gangs are parasites that suck blood from ordinary people.

Therefore, ordinary people did not feel anything about the demise of the "Sanbei Gang" and the taking over of the "Axe Gang".

As long as the situation can be stabilized as soon as possible and the normal order of the past can be restored, ordinary people in each district do not care who occupies this area and becomes the boss.

Because it's all the same to them.

The following time was the Chen family's usual life pattern.

Yang Ying was cooking in the kitchen while others were helping with other things.

After lunch, as there was nothing to do, Chen Qing and Xuan Feng, as well as Yang Ying and Chen Zhengzhong, helped Chen Yang to harvest the remaining wheat in the field next door and thresh it into grains.

When the wheat grains were threshed and bagged, it was already sunset.

The Chen family cooked dinner together again. After eating, Chen Qing went out alone and went to the Red River to start practicing tonight...

the next day.

August 2nd, a little after three in the morning.

Chen Qing, who had gone to bed an hour earlier last night, woke up slowly at this time.

At this time, it was still dark outside.

As usual, he looked at the [Spirit] value of his left eye:
【Fine: 19.91434728】

【Qi: 9.423892438】

【God: 3.075123894】

Today is August 2nd, and six days have passed since July 27th.

During these six days, Chen Qing's [Essence] value was not far from breaking through the 20 mark.

In addition to this, his [God] value finally officially broke through 3!

Because these improvements happened day by day, he himself did not feel much.

Just like people growing taller during their growth period, neither you nor the people around you actually feel anything special.

Only those who have seen someone before but not for a long time will suddenly notice the differences and changes when they see him again.

But unfortunately, Chen Qing doesn’t have such a person around him at the moment.

Therefore, after seeing the changes in the values ​​of his left eye, he stopped looking at it and got up and started "practicing his mind" as usual.

After finishing his "spiritual training", he changed his clothes and went out at around three in the morning before daybreak. He swam along the river in the residential area to the "Hongjiang River", and then came to the old place to start "practicing qi" - after he walked across the river, he got used to walking here.

When the "qi training" was over, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the time was a little after five in the morning.

Chen Qing followed the original route and returned to the residential area near "Sanlin Town" along the river, then left the river and returned to the Chen family yard.

When he opened the door and came back, Xuanfeng heard the noise, then he got up and left the bedroom to prepare for morning exercises.

However, when he saw the hazy sky, he couldn't help but look at Chen Qing in astonishment and said, "Why did you get up so early today? Don't you usually come back at six o'clock?!"

Ever since Chen Qing regularly got up early to "train his mind" and "train his qi" and then went to work at six o'clock, Xuanfeng would get up for morning exercises only when he came back from "training his qi".

But today, Chen Qing got up an hour earlier.

"Didn't I tell you not to use me as an alarm clock?"

Facing Xuanfeng's questioning, Chen Qing rolled his eyes at him.

After that, he opened the yard door, walked to the car parked in the corner, opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and turned the car around.

In the next half month, he will go to "Chen Xing" to communicate with Lu Hongfeng, so he plans to drive there.

"Hey, Brother Bing is going to drive today."

Xuan Feng, who had gotten up an hour earlier, was a little dissatisfied at first, but when he saw Chen Qing actually planning to drive, he immediately walked up to him curiously and asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

"Practice your skills well. If you keep asking nonsense questions, I will make you pay the interest on your debt!"

Chen Qing glanced at Xuan Feng, said something, and drove out of the Chen family yard, "Remember to close the door."

Xuanfeng was speechless and wanted to refute, but he just couldn't muster up the confidence. He could only walk over and close the gate.

After closing the gate, he angrily said, "Damn it! I'll kill you after you pay me back!"

……

Six o'clock in the morning.

Chenhang District, Jiulong Avenue by the river.

A car drove slowly to the side of the road and then stopped.

Then, the driver's door opened.

Chen Qing, dressed in a black training suit, walked down.

Afterwards, Chen Qing came to the roadside guardrail and looked at the river bank below.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

On the river bank below, among the smooth pebbles, an old figure in a white training suit, with his hands behind his back, began to walk along the surging river.

Without hesitation, Chen Qing grabbed the guardrail, climbed over it, and came to the pebbles under the river bank.

Then he walked quickly and chased after the old figure.

And that old figure had already sensed his gaze and stopped to wait for him.

"Good morning, Senior Lu, I'm here."

When he came to Lu Hongfeng, Chen Qing bowed slightly again and greeted him with a fist.

"Ah."

Lu Hongfeng glanced at him, nodded slightly, then put his hands behind his back again and walked along the river bank.

Seeing this, Chen Qing took a step forward and walked beside Lu Hongfeng.

Lu Hongfeng said, "Yesterday I showed you the skills of a master swordsman who practices 'Qi Transformation'. After a night like today, do you have any questions? If you have any questions, feel free to ask them and I will answer them for you."

Hearing Lu Hongfeng's words, Chen Qing was startled at first, then he said solemnly: "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, he hesitated again and said, "However, my problem has little to do with the Kung Fu you displayed yesterday..."

"Oh?"

Lu Hongfeng looked at Chen Qing in surprise, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "What's the problem?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing bowed and asked solemnly with a serious expression: "My question is... Actually, I really want to know what the process is like for a master of 'Qi Transformation' from the beginning of 'Qi Training' to the final 'Transformation'? If it is convenient, I hope Senior Lu can tell me!"

This is one of the main reasons why he is looking forward to communicating with Lu Hongfeng, to ask about his confusion on the way of "practicing qi"!
