Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

Chapter 40: Rapid Progress! Hong Zhengdao Returns
"The Mountain-Splitting Axe Technique can now break through."

Zhang Lingshan noticed the changes in the panel.

However, after learning from his previous lesson, he decided not to break through for the time being, in case he used up all his energy points at once and encountered fatal danger, he would not have the energy to repair himself.

Secondly, he estimated that the breakthrough of the Mountain-Splitting Axe Technique would definitely make quite a big noise. It would be relatively safer to wait until he got through tonight and then returned home before making a breakthrough.

As the night deepened, sleepiness came over me.

But in order to avoid any accidents, Zhang Lingshan forced himself not to sleep, but took out the white porcelain bottle from time to time and pulled out the cork.

Just smell it and you’ll feel more energetic!
Finally, the night is about to pass.

Zhang Lingshan calculated the time, took out a tinder from Li Fu's house, and also took some straw, firewood, candles, rags, etc. and tied them up.

Then he rushed out quickly, climbed over the wall, and went back to his home.

He carefully arranged the prepared thatch and other items, and piled the bloodstained dirty clothes and shoes on Fang Qiuyue's body.

Then, turn on the fire.

burn!
Burn him cleanly.

The fire was about to start.

Zhang Lingshan immediately returned to Li Fu's house.

He had to thank Li Fu for creating this haunted house, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live so conveniently.

'I wasn't the only one who heard the whistle yesterday.

'Any fool would know that there was a battle going on in the city, so it's not surprising that any accidents happened.

'What's more, Fang Qiuyue escaped!
"It's obvious that the one who burned the house was Fang Qiuyue. She did it to cover up her tracks. Could I, Zhang Lingshan, burn down my own old house?"

Zhang Lingshan sorted out the logic and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Next, as long as everyone came out to put out the fire, he would take advantage of the chaos to sneak out of Li Fu's house, blend into the crowd, and pretend to have just arrived, and no one would have any suspicion.

Even if someone really asked him why he came so quickly, he could explain that he was going back to the old house to get something and it was just a coincidence, right?
All in all, burning it is better than not burning it. If you don't burn it, it will be a problem to deal with the corpse and bloodstains. Burning it will destroy the body and put an end to it once and for all.

"Go to the water!"

"Put out the fire quickly."

The neighbors finally woke up, and it was already dawn, so everyone got up to help.

Someone shouted, "The Zhang family's house is on fire. Go and inform them."

"What! My house is on fire? How could my house be on fire?!"

Zhang Lingshan appeared out of nowhere, looking panicked: "Uncles, please help put out the fire. It must be Li Fu's family who set fire to my house after seeing that I moved away."

"Xiaoshan is back, hurry up!"

The neighbors immediately called for help and people carried buckets of water to put out the fire.

I was busy for quite a while.

The fire was finally put out.

"The government is here!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Everyone immediately made way for them, and a middle-aged man with a large frame and prominent cheekbones came over with three yamen runners.

Zhang Lingshan noticed that this man had steady steps, sharp eyes, high shoulders, and a yamen official's green robe that bulged out, showing how full the muscles were.

"At least he is at the top of the three levels of skin grinding, bronze skin, and most likely a flesh refining expert."

Zhang Lingshan analyzed secretly.

"Who is the owner of this house?"

The middle-aged yamen runner asked.

Zhang Lingshan hurriedly went to greet him: "Greetings, sir. I am Zhang Lingshan, a disciple of the Hong Clan Martial Arts School. This is my old house, which has been uninhabited for a long time. It got caught inexplicably. I beg you to be discerning, catch the real culprit behind the scenes, and bring justice to me!"

"Ah."

The middle-aged yamen runner nodded.

Ma Hong had heard of the name Zhang Lingshan. When Zhang Lingshan's skin resurfacing was successful, the news reached Ma Hong, and he even considered recruiting him as a yamen runner.

Firstly, he was indeed short of manpower, and secondly, he could use this opportunity to establish a relationship with Hong Zhengdao.

However, Feng's pharmacy got there first, so he forgot about it.

I didn't expect to meet Zhang Lingshan today.

Ma Hong looked at Zhang Lingshan and found that he had a steady aura and the skin on the back of his hands was slightly gray, which was due to the formation of calluses.

Especially when he saluted with his fists, there were rich blood marks on the joints of his fingers, which showed that he had practiced the Red Line Fist to a very high level.

Ma Hong couldn't help but be surprised. The other party should have only been grinding his skin for a short time. How could his progress be so fast?

In comparison, the three hot guys under his command are simply trash.

"So he is a disciple of the Hong family. Don't worry, I will investigate thoroughly."

Ma Hong patted Zhang Lingshan on the shoulder, then entered the yard with three of his men.

He was holding a wooden stick and poking around in the ashes a few times, then he said, "It must be an accident. Come in and take a look yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingshan immediately walked up.

Ma Hong came over and whispered, "Didn't you hear the whistle last night? This must be related to the murderer yesterday. You should deal with this place quickly and don't come back to live recently, so as not to cause trouble."

"I understand. Thank you for your advice, sir. It's a token of my appreciation."

As Zhang Lingshan spoke, he took out some silver coins and stuffed them into Ma Hong's hand.

Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. If you don't want to work in Feng's pharmacy, you can come work for me."

"My Lord, I will definitely do you a favor!"

Zhang Lingshan sent Ma Hong out.

When the neighbors saw that Zhang Lingshan was now chatting and laughing with the yamen runners, they immediately looked at Zhang Lingshan with different eyes.

They didn't know what skin grinding was, nor could they see Zhang Lingshan's strength. They only knew that Zhang Lingshan could now whisper with the yamen runners, and was no longer on the same level as them.

So they all came spontaneously to help clean up the ashes and ruins, and tried to build relationships with Zhang Lingshan with flattering smiles.

Zhang Lingshan was happy to ask for everyone's help, and then secretly pushed the unburned bones into the ashes and buried them.

Because there are no night watchmen in Jincheng at night, in order to prevent accidental fires from burning the neighbors, there is a sandy space between each house and the courtyard wall, which can also be called an isolation zone.

This will prevent the fire from getting worse.

Basically, except for the house that Zhang Lingshan deliberately burned, other places were not burned much.

So soon.

Everything that needed to be cleaned was buried in the sand isolation zone.

Everyone is gathering firewood and the flames are high.

If you are willing to continue living here, the small house next to it can be lived in after a little renovation.

But Zhang Lingshan had no such plan. He waved his hand and said, "I'll treat everyone to dinner later."

He left without looking back.

"It was surprisingly smooth."

On the way, Zhang Lingshan was in high spirits.

It seems that the people in Jincheng are very wise in life and no one is willing to waste time asking questions.

Today, not only Fang Qiuyue's trouble was solved, but Li Fu's family of three was also solved.

Take it easy!

It was just time for the martial arts school to open for dinner.

Zhang Lingshan had a free meal, then returned home and sat down in his room.

Even though I didn't sleep all night.

But because he was in a good mood, his excitement was greater than his sleepiness.

So he immediately opened the panel and fiercely clicked on the "+" behind the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique. Swish!
40 energy points were consumed instantly!
A tremendous force suddenly exploded in the body.

Zhang Lingshan only felt as if he was holding an axe, chopping madly at the air with the first move of the Mountain-Splitting Axe Technique.

Every chopped blow made his muscles tremble, and his acupuncture points and meridians felt sore, numb and itchy, as if countless ants were crawling on his body.

But he remained tireless, and regardless of day or night, cold or heat, he chopped with all his strength again and again.

I don’t know how long it took.

The sweat beneath him had soaked the floor. The slashing images in the picture were projected onto his body, and his muscles were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What shocked Zhang Lingshan was that his muscles grew so fast that they stretched his skin and caused it to crack.

The bloodstains were shocking to see, and he grimaced in pain, wishing he could hit his head on the ground and die.

"Xiaoyu, hurry up, prepare a skin-resurfacing bath for me!"

Zhang Lingshan shouted urgently.

If he had known that the improvement of the Mountain-Splitting Axe Technique would be so abnormal, he would have been prepared long ago.

Who would have thought that this technique could actually strengthen the body.

No wonder martial arts practitioners have to polish the skin first and then strengthen the flesh, because if the skin is not strong enough, the growing muscles will break the skin!

Today's bloody lesson has helped Zhang Lingshan gain some experience.

Fortunately, it's not a big problem.

Because the Hunyuan Zhengyang Posture of the Perfect State had transformed his body once, his physical recovery ability was stronger than that of ordinary people.

Later, the stone skin was broken through.

For the current injury, just treat it as over-dermabrasion. He will recover after a few days of rest in a medicinal bath.

So in the next few days, he soaked in the medicinal bath every year and drank the snow silver flower medicinal soup.

Compared to spiritual root grass, snow silver flower itself has a healing effect. After drinking it, it can not only accumulate energy but also promote body recovery.

Kill two birds with one stone!
Just as Zhang Lingshan expected.

In just four days, his injuries had healed.

Feeling the tremendous power in his body and muscles as strong as mountains, Zhang Lingshan knew that his progress this time was another earth-shaking change.

His height has grown to 1.8 meters and he is as strong as a bull!

According to estimation, one hand should be able to lift a 600-jin stone lock!

It’s 400 pounds more than the 200 pounds I weighed when I first started resurfacing.

It can be said to be a leap forward!

This is all due to the special effects brought about by refining the meat in advance.

The advantage is that your muscle strength is much higher than that of a skin polishing warrior.

The disadvantage is that if the body does not experience a breakthrough after undergoing physical training, it will require greater stimulation to achieve a breakthrough in the future.

In other words, it is more difficult to break through the flesh than for ordinary people.

But that's not a big deal.

As long as you have enough energy points, you will not have any bottlenecks, so why bother talking about whether it is difficult or not?
"I've spent all my spare change on the medicinal baths and snow silver flowers these past few days, so I have to find a way to break open the two hundred taels of silver. A few days have passed, so I can just go to Feng's pharmacy and spend it. It shouldn't be a problem."

Zhang Lingshan planned to go out to buy some medicinal herbs and some delicious food and drinks to reward his mother and sister.

If they hadn't been busy preparing the medicinal bath for me, how could I be so relaxed?
It’s nice to have family around.

If you were alone and had to buy and boil medicine when you got injured, how difficult that would be.

So next, Zhang Lingshan bought cooked food, candied fruits, walnuts, dried fruits, etc. Anyway, all the things he had seen before and wanted to eat but was reluctant to eat, he bought them all back for his mother and sister to satisfy their cravings.

"Brother, did you rob a bank? How much money would that cost?"

Zhang Lingyu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Zhang Lingshan smiled and said, "I told you that good days are still to come. Your brother is now stronger and there will be many places to make money in the future. You don't have to rob the bank, just send the money to me."

"Hee! You're just bragging."

Zhang Lingyu stuck out her tongue, then picked up a few pieces of dried fruit and stuffed them into her mouth.

Zhang's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Be careful, don't choke."

Then he said earnestly to Zhang Lingshan: "Even if you have money, you can't spend it carelessly. I don't have any requirements for food, as long as I can fill my stomach. This money is earned by your hard work, you have to save it for your health. Look at your skin all over your body before, it's so scary."

"Don't worry, mother. Only those who endure hardships can become successful. We will move to the inner city in the future. Then we can buy you a few maids, and you won't have to work so hard."

"Oh, I don't want anyone to wait on me."

Zhang's mother waved her hands repeatedly.

Zhang Lingyu chuckled: "Mom, you are so funny. You refuse before we even start. Think about it, it doesn't cost any money."

"That's true. Then I want a hundred maids to peel walnuts for me." Zhang's mother changed her usual serious look and said mischievously.

"Hahaha!"

The air was filled with joy.

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

But something was missing.

Zhang Lingshan thought of his father and his younger brother Zhang Lingfeng, whom he had never met.

When he said they had never met each other, he meant that he had not seen her since he came here.

but.

This younger brother is very important to me.

If his younger brother had not been taken away by the Jiang family in the inner city, he would not have been able to travel through time.

At the beginning, the Jiang family took my younger brother away to be his young master's servant, and casually threw ten taels of silver at him, which was considered a forced purchase.

It was precisely because of these ten taels of silver, along with the ten taels saved by the whole family through frugality, that my father was able to ask someone to find a carpenter to teach my predecessor a lesson.

Then his predecessor was caught stealing money to learn martial arts, and he died of shame...

What happened next was what Zhang Lingshan experienced personally.

"Although I have money now, it is still a fantasy to redeem my brother from the Jiang family in the inner city."

Zhang Lingshan felt powerless and unhappy again.

Still too weak.

With his current strength, identity, and status, he was not even qualified to enter the inner city, let alone redeem his brother.

If my younger brother can’t be redeemed, what about my father?
'I don't know where Jinguang Temple is, but it is definitely farther than Hongye Temple. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back to the city in one day, and I'll have to spend the night outside. So, if you want to go to Jinguang Temple, you have to follow the escort agency. The escort agency often travels outside, so they should have a map outside the city.'

Zhang Lingshan made a plan in his mind.

After the New Year, if there is a chance, go to Lu Feng's Zhenwei Escort Agency to take a mission and inquire about the location of Jinguang Temple.

If possible, take a trip to the Golden Light Temple.

It is not possible before the New Year for the time being. Everyone wants to spend a good and peaceful New Year and will not go out of the city.

"If I could ever have the strength of Li Ziming, and be able to run around in the dark without fear of any strange evil spirits, I would be able to leave the city without any escort agency."

Zhang Lingshan thought about it and decided to go to Wu Zheng tomorrow to learn the leg techniques following the Dingfeng Posture.

I've had enough rest these days to take care of my body and I can't be lazy anymore.

But plans are not as good as changes.

The next day.

Before Zhang Lingshan had the time to find Wu Zheng, he heard two pieces of news.

The first news: Hong Zhengdao, the owner of Hong’s Martial Arts School, is back!

The second piece of news: Hong Zhengdao was seriously injured, one of his arms was disabled, and his strength was greatly reduced!
