Chapter 30: Turbulence in the Jianghu
Find me?
Yu Zhen's eyes were calm, but Li Yuan couldn't help feeling slightly cold.
The trouble caused by that broken shoe is still unresolved?
Wasn't Nian Jiu already arrested?
"Question?"
Glancing at Qin Xiong lightly, Tang Tong drooped his eyelids and said:
"I remember, it seems that the sword catcher is not the court's chief arrester, right? Just barging in like this to ask questions, doesn't it mean that you don't look down on my blacksmith shop?"
Woo~
A breeze blew the snow off the eaves.
All the apprentices gathered in the martial arts field and looked at Yu Zhen coldly, as if Tang Tong was about to rush forward with an order.
Glancing at Qin Xiong with an ugly face from the corner of his eye, Yu Zhen frowned slightly, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Brother Tang misunderstood, and Yu had no intention of doing so. It was just a coincidence that I met Guard Qin at the door, and after his advice, I was introduced to him..."
This old guy is not in the inner courtyard all year round, why did he happen to meet him today?
Qin Xiong cursed in his heart and had no choice but to explain:
"Brother Yu is here to pursue the murderer. We at the Forging Shop belong to everyone in this city, so we should help you. I hope Mr. Tang won't be surprised!"
"I see."
Tang Tong twitched the corner of his mouth and then looked at Li Yuan:
"Did you hear that?"
"Disciple understands."
Li Yuan bowed first and then clasped his fists towards Yu Zhen:
"I wonder what this hero wants to ask?"
Li Yuan remembered being a knife catcher. He had heard someone mention it before. This was an industry that relied on his own abilities to catch important criminals wanted by the government and then receive the reward.
In the words of his previous life, he was a 'bounty hunter', and in the words of other apprentices, he was called a hero.
"A hero would not dare to act like that."
Yu Zhen smiled and said:
"Half a year ago, Yu revealed his identity at Zhelong Mansion. He wanted to capture the lone thief Nian Jiu and brought him to justice. He chased him all the way to Gaoliu, but lost all traces of him..."
Yu Zhen was very polite, and his words were naturally meant for Tang Tong.
"In the past three months, Yu searched nearby towns and determined that he did not escape into Fajiu Mountain or Bishui Lake after killing people in Gaoliu County. He must still be in the city at this moment!"
"Is that murderous maniac still in the city?"
An apprentice screamed in surprise, and the inner courtyard suddenly became commotion.
The mass murder case three months ago caused a stir. Gaoliu County closed its city gates and prohibited entry and exit until more than ten years ago.
"Didn't the Yamen say..."
One apprentice blurted out and immediately covered his mouth.
"That year, Jiu was born in Qianjun Cave. He was a member of the evil way. Now that he is here, even the experts in the Divine Soldier Valley have been alarmed. If this person does not obey the law, I am afraid he will commit murder again!"
After saying that, Yu Zhen paused for a moment before asking:
"Little brother, as far as I know, did you ever see the last person Nian Jiu killed that year and buy something from his stall?"
"Liu San? Back to heroes, the day before Liu San was killed, I did go to his stall to buy spices, but I just bought spices."
Li Yuan lowered his head slightly and answered.
"Little brother, don't be cautious, just raise your head."
Yu Zhen's voice was gentle. Li Yuan raised his head subconsciously, but felt that his vision suddenly became blurry, and great sleepiness suddenly surged into his heart.
Is this hypnosis? !
Suddenly, Li Yuan was shocked, but also seemed to be unknown. He stared blankly, feeling frightened and angry in his heart.
This person has a kind face and a dark heart. Is he afraid that he will make a move before asking the first question?
"Really, you just bought spices?"
Yu Zhen's voice was rising and falling. Li Yuan felt dizzy and uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show anything. He just nodded blankly:
"Also, I bought half a catty of bacon..."
"Yu Zhen!"
Suddenly, Tang Tong shouted angrily.
Li Yuan pretended to wake up and saw the beardless old man rising up like a fierce tiger. With just one movement, he crossed the thirty-meter martial arts field.
The strong wind filled the big sleeves, making a hunting sound, and the fists thrown out were like war guns wrapped in flags on the battlefield!
boom!
The collision between the two was so fast that most apprentices did not even react. Tang Tong had returned to where he was.
"Is this inner strength?"
Li Yuan was stunned on the spot, his eyelids twitching wildly.
Jumping thirty meters, this is faster than a cheetah!
That's all, Yu Zhen, this old man in his seventies actually still has such explosive power?
"Good punches, good guns!"
Yu Zhen took several steps back, leaving deep footprints with each step. He touched his palms and praised:
"Su heard that the blacksmith's shop has the White Ape Hammer, the Green Snake Spear, and the Tiger Roaring Knife. The one Brother Tang uses must be the Green Snake Spear. It's really amazing!"
"Five Poison Jade Sword, well-deserved reputation"
The surface of Tang copper is as sinking as water.
"Chasing the murderer is a big deal. If Yu is slightly offended, Brother Tang will probably not care if there are a lot of people."
Yu Zhen slightly cupped his hands, then turned and left.
"Mr. Tang..."
Qin Xiong's face turned blue.
"Wang Ding teaches well!"
Tang Tong was not angry, and without even looking at him, he walked into the courtyard with a flick of his sleeves:
"Yunjin, Li Yuan comes in, the others disperse!"
Qin Xiong's face turned pale and pale, and he walked away in embarrassment.
"What a five-poison jade sword, it's vulnerable to a single blow!"
"Is the Green Snake Spear so powerful? Master is so powerful!"
"Is this the knife catcher? What kind of hero? Bah..."
…
The disciples suddenly became excited and talked about each other. Many of their faces turned red and looked proud.
Only Yue Yunjin and Li Yuan followed the courtyard one after another.
"Master, are you okay?"
Yue Yunjin looked worried.
"Something's wrong!"
Tang Tong turned his hands, and his palms were black and blue:
"What five-poison jade knife, five-poison human insect! The whole body is full of poison, I almost suffered a loss!"
"Teacher, are you okay?"
Li Yuan was a little frightened.
The blue-black palm was constantly squirming, as if there were poisonous insects struggling inside, gnawing at the flesh and blood, and trying to break out of the skin.
"The detoxification pill combined with internal strength can expel it, but it will take two or three months to recuperate!"
Tang Tong shook his hand suddenly, making a "bang" sound, and blue-black blood flowed out through his fingers.
"Then Yu Zhen is going to leave, why do you want to?"
Yue Yunjin frowned.
"If he leaves like that, even if I die, I will not have the face to see your master in the underworld!"
Tang Tong snorted coldly:
"The world of fame and fortune is a place of life and death. Sometimes you have to run fast, and sometimes you can't retreat a step! You have to remember what happened today, and find it back yourself in the future!"
The second half of the sentence was deafening, but it was aimed at Li Yuan.
"Disciple has remembered it!"
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, of course he remembered it.
If he is not determined and tells others about the Bingdao Dousha Hammer, not to mention Yu Zhen, even the Shenbing Valley will kill him!
Yue Yunjin asked: "Master, what kind of martial arts does Yu Zhen use? It's so weird..."
"It's called the Soul-Bewitching Method. It's a bit of a stretch to say it's martial arts. In fact, it's just a special drug that's colorless and tasteless and hard to guard against.
But if you have a determined mind, you won't fall for it!"
Tang Tong said this and got angry, staring at Li Yuan:
"You should have suffered a lot with your background, why are you so weak?"
"... I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Li Yuan could only smile bitterly.
He really didn't expect that Tang Tong, who was obviously very afraid of Yu Zhen, would actually attack him brazenly.
"Forget it."
Tang Tong sat down cross-legged with some fatigue, adjusted his breathing, moved his blood and qi, and began to expel the poison.
"Let's go."
Yue Yunjin's face was as gloomy as water, and he pulled Li Yuan out of the door.
In the martial arts arena, a group of apprentices were still discussing, it was very lively, Yue Yunjin shouted loudly, and practiced fighting methods.
"Forty-six steps, less than forty meters!"
Li Yuan walked from Tang Tong's armchair to the footsteps left by Yu Zhen, his heart was awed.
In the four months of practicing martial arts, he made rapid progress, his blood and energy were enough to cover half of his arm, and his physical strength increased greatly.
But jumping more than thirty meters was still a huge shock to him.
"With such explosive speed, I can be killed by a collision without any martial arts!"
Li Yuan felt a great sense of urgency in his heart.
"Yu Zhen, Qin Xiong!"
After squeezing the blood-retaining pill in his arms, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and turned around.
With the blessing of the perfect-level cloak hammer method, his progress was far faster than that of other apprentices. As long as his blood and energy could keep up, he was even sure that he could quickly cultivate to perfection!
