Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 85 0084: Buying Martial Arts (First Order Request)

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

In the south of the city, in a dilapidated old house, Cheng Zongyang handed the buns in his hand to the beggar there.

This is a temporary gathering place for beggars in the city.

After a lot of effort, I got some information from the beggar.

"This way, it should be foolproof. Hope is useless."

Using this backup plan means that the situation in the city is no longer controllable.

Time continued to pass, and as night fell, Cheng Zongyang came out of his residence with a black cloth tied around his face.

All that needed to be prepared had been prepared, and all that was left was to buy martial arts skills and take his uncle away. And to take his uncle and aunt out of the county in the morning.

From now on, he will basically not come to the county town again until the surrounding environment stabilizes.

As long as we can keep things stable for a while and add a few more warriors to the family, then things will be a little more settled.

The county town is under curfew now. As long as you are careful and don't get seen by the night patrollers, basically you will be fine.

He groped his way along the night road towards the east of the city. He was familiar with the place since he had been there before.

After walking and dodging for about an incense stick of time, they arrived at a separate cordoned-off area near the east gate.

An area guarded by the gang at night.

There were two people standing at the entrance, holding long knives, with expressionless faces and cold eyes.

Cheng Zongyang came to them, but did not prepare to go in. Instead, he said to the person at the door:
"I want to spend some money."

The guard who wanted to stop him suddenly paused and glanced at Cheng Zongyang: "Rules."

Cheng Zongyang immediately took out five taels of silver and handed it over.

The guard took it, shook it, nodded slightly, and said, "Follow me."

So, the guard took the money and took Cheng Zongyang into the black market.

But the street he walked on was not the one where stalls were set up to sell goods, but another one with residential areas.

After a while, they arrived at the door of a house with the door closed.

The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door with his characteristic rhythm.

After a moment, the door was opened from the inside, and a young man in ordinary clothes came out.

The guard didn't say anything, but just took Cheng Zongyang in.

The candlelight flickered inside, and there was no one else. The young man closed the door and followed behind without saying a word.

Cheng Zongyang was secretly alert and followed the guard into the main hall. If Li Lu hadn't said he could trust him, he wouldn't have dared to come in casually.

At this time, the person in front of me said, "Since you were introduced by someone else, it means that you know the rules."

Cheng Zongyang nodded and said, "I know. The entry-level or elementary martial arts are fine. Or the advanced ones, even if the latter part is missing, are fine."

The guard nodded after listening and looked at the young man behind Cheng Zongyang.

The young man nodded slightly and walked into the inner room without saying a word.

After a moment, the young man took out seven or eight booklets and came to the table, then lined them up.

"These are the martial arts you wanted. Three entry-level martial arts books, four elementary books, and one incomplete one you wanted."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang was about to reach out to take it. But the guard pointed the scabbard in his hand at the booklet, blocking his way and said in a cold tone:

"You can't read more than three pages, otherwise you have to buy it."

Cheng Zongyang paused, nodded, and took his hand back. Then he glanced at the names on the booklet.

Getting Started: "Basic Stick Techniques", "Basic Boxing Techniques", "Basic Sword Techniques"

Elementary: "Mangniuding", "Xuesha Knife Technique", "Mad Dog Stick Technique", "Pofeng Knife Technique"

Advanced Incomplete: Wind Walker

Looking at these eight booklets, Cheng Zongyang's eyes lit up.

At this time, the guard reminded: "Entry level, normal copy of martial arts, no annotations, the price is thirty taels per copy.

The incomplete book is a high-level martial arts book, which originally had four moves, but now the fourth move is missing, so the price is calculated based on the intermediate martial arts book, which is 100 taels.

Okay, think about it yourself. Time is limited, only half an incense stick of time."

Hearing these prices, Cheng Zongyang nodded calmly, picked up the Bull Ring, opened the first page, and asked:
"What if it's an annotated version?"

"Double it."

Cheng Zongyang paused and nodded slightly.

The more cost-effective ones are the entry-level martial arts, which can be used by children to lay the foundation. The elementary ones are suitable for adults.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that adults can’t use the introductory course, it’s just that the level of training is easier for children to understand than it is.

Cheng Zongyang quickly calculated in his mind that these eight martial arts books were worth four hundred and thirty taels!

Enough!

Cheng Zongyang immediately made a decision in his mind.

So he put down the booklet, looked at the guard and said, "If I want all of them, can't I get a discount?"

"All of them?" The guard was a little surprised. Then he said, "We can guarantee the authenticity of our skills and martial arts, so this price is the final price, no bargaining."

Cheng Zongyang was speechless.

Finally, he took out another 425 taels of silver notes and loose change to pay the money.

Then Cheng Zongyang collected all eight extremely precious martial arts booklets.

Now, he had less than one hundred taels of silver left.

This can only be kept at home for emergency use.

The transaction was completed, Cheng Zongyang opened the door and prepared to leave the courtyard.

Just as he was about to leave, the guard suddenly spoke:
"Hold on."

Cheng Zongyang was stunned and turned his head to look: "What's the matter?"

"You are not a warrior from the city's power, right?"

Instantly, Cheng Zongyang's heart suddenly became alert, and he said in a calm voice: "What do you want to say?"

"Don't be nervous." The guard smiled, walked over and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Xiaofei, and I'm a member of the Sky Eagle Gang. This black market is a joint business of the four major gangs."

Cheng Zongyang listened in silence.

"You are a warrior from a small family, right? I don't mean anything else. We are in urgent need of warriors to join the Tianying Sect. If you are willing to join, the treatment will definitely satisfy you. At the same time, you can also borrow martial arts techniques and skills for free."

Cheng Zongyang had heard Li Lu mention these things. All the major clans and gangs were recruiting warriors.

Although the benefits were good, Cheng Zongyang was not interested and declined, "Sorry, I have no intention of joining your gang at the moment. Goodbye."

Li Xiaofei stared at Cheng Zongyang's leaving back with burning eyes and did not do anything else.

He maintains the black market, not robs people.

If the people in the black market take action against the buyers, the black market will no longer need to be open once the news gets out.

As long as we are in the black market area, everything must be kept safe.

Once it leaves the black market, it’s none of their business.

At this time, the young man behind Li Xiaofei came over and whispered, "People from other families have been hanging around the black market recently. Why didn't you tell him?"

Li Xiaofei glanced at him:
"They don't cause trouble in the black market, and they don't interfere in matters outside the black market. This is the rule. If we take the initiative to break the rules, they will find an excuse. If it is not necessary, don't break the rules, and let the An and Miao families handle it. However, with one more warrior, the chances of winning will increase. You continue to watch, and I will go and see, maybe we can still fight for it."

"Yes." The young man bowed.

Cheng Zongyang put eight booklets, which were not as thick as a book in total, into his arms and quickly left the black market.

With these eight martial arts books, plus the body-building skills, it is enough for the family's early accumulation.

However, just as he walked out of the black market area, turned into an alley and entered the shortcut alley, he was suddenly blocked by two people.

Cheng Zongyang was startled and looked around vigilantly.
