Chapter 20 On the Road (II)

  "Brother Sheng has been secretly practicing martial arts on his own since he was a child, his body and bones are still quite strong, so the family head doesn't need to worry."   Uncle Zhao laughed.   "Originally I didn't expect Brother Sheng to be so powerful, those two outlaws were two experts that I chased more than ten years ago, I didn't expect to come back after many years but planted in Brother Sheng's hands."   He had seen the injuries, the heart-breaking palm force that the two died from.   He just didn't know when Brother Sheng had practiced the Heart Breaking Palm, nor did he know how deep the palm power was.   After all, this kung fu could not be seen as deep just from the surface.   "This is best." Lu Quanan nodded his head. "It's fine, just leave it as it is, let him rest up and continue to go to Along Mountain City to practice martial arts."   "Xiao Sheng's kind of stature, if he is not addicted to practicing martial arts, even to the point of obsession, there is no way to practice so fast and so well, this is good, I think Xiao Sheng will be very happy to hear this."   Erniang softly said.   "Alright, alright, this time it was a false alarm, everyone dispersed and scattered. Xiao Qing goes back to reflect properly, don't go out and wander around again during this period of time, just stay at home!" Lu Quanan placed a grounding.   "Oh ......" Lu gently was also scared enough this time, if big brother came one step later, she would really be finished.   She also needed time to recover her mood.   ......   The matter of Lu Gently soon spread throughout the entire Lu Mansion, and even to other families in Jiu Lian City.   The reputation of Lu Sheng's obsession with practicing martial arts also spread.   These days, very few people knew about the Ghost Head Blade Brothers, but everyone knew that Lu Sheng had gone out with his sister to catch a few powerful wanted criminals, and was rumored to have killed several others.   This reputation first-class spread, Lu Sheng was instantly on fire.   The eyes of the people in the mansion looked at Lu differently than before.   This was someone who had killed powerful wanted criminals!   Whenever they saw Lu Sheng, everyone had some awe in their hearts.   After all, anyone who could be wanted and not caught, who didn't have a few tricks up their sleeves.   "This is normal." Lu Gently sat in Lu Sheng's room, her legs wobbling and wobbling, holding an apple in her hand and slowly nibbling on it.   Because of the effects of her previous near-miss, she didn't run outside all day now.   Instead, she ran to Lu Sheng's room from time to time, trying to convince him to investigate the Xu family's tragic case together.   "The people in the House of Lu's current residence, other than Big Brother you and Uncle Zhao who are a few martial arts masters, the rest of the guards, I'm afraid that even the ones who have seen blood are pitifully few. That's how these underlings used to look at me."   She seemed to be used to it.   "Speaking of which, if Master and Senior Brothers knew that I have such a powerful big brother like you, they wouldn't know what kind of expression they would have, it's fun to think about it!"   Lu gently laughed.   Lu Sheng held a brush in his hand, slowly practicing calligraphy.   "Big Brother Xu's case, it has to be investigated, and it has to be investigated! It's just not to be investigated now."   He said in a deep voice.   "Big Brother Xu ...... died a horrible death!" As soon as he thought of this, Lu Gently's eyes turned a little red.   "Don't worry, sooner or later, I will investigate this matter to find out." Lu Sheng put down his pen and looked at a large word for endure on the paper.   This one fight with two Pass Power realm experts had let him know where his limits were.   The good players at the Tong Li level were each powerful characters with their own unique techniques. They were quite a bit stronger than ordinary practitioners.   Although he had practiced the Black Tiger Blade Technique and the Heart Breaking Palm to the highest level of completion through the modifier, fighting one against two was not a simple addition.   When two Tong Li experts surrounded one another, the effect produced was one plus one. Attention needed to be paid to expending twice as much spirit as when dealing with one person.   If there was one more Tong Li expert with better coordination, even he would have to fall head over heels this time.   Lu Sheng thought in his heart.   He had won this time, but it was a close one, and in the end, even his sword was broken, and his body was injured in many places.   "Still too weak ah ...... In the Xu family fiasco, in the courtyard guard's through and through good hands alone, there were a full four people! Plus so many house servants and household servants, to kill all of them overnight without a word, such a skill ...... makes one's heart chill just thinking about it."   As soon as he thought of this, Lu Sheng felt that the preparations he had made were far from enough.   He needed stronger power, stronger martial arts!   "Big brother, what are you thinking about? Do you want to accompany me to go shopping?"   Lu Gently took her hand and waved it in front of Lu Sheng, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.   Ever since she was rescued last time, she had changed as if she was a different person in front of Lu Sheng, her temper was too much better than before. It was also a lot softer, becoming more daughterly.   "Gently, do you know about inner strength?"   Lu Sheng did not answer her, but asked back.   "Inner strength ...... I've heard master talk about it." Lu Gently nodded her head. "Inner strength masters and we practice external strength is different, time consuming very long and slow, generally no three or five years time base, take out and ordinary people no difference. Big brother you ask what this for?"   "Your master, do you know the masters who know inner strength?" Could not find Duanmu Wan, Lu Sheng intended to find a breakthrough from Lu Gently.   "It's true that I know, Master has two close friends, both of them are Taoist priests who practice health-supporting qigong." Lu Gently replied.   "Nurturing qigong ...... is there any formal, used against the enemy kind of internal energy master?"   "This ...... hasn't been heard of."   Lu Gently's answer caused Lu Sheng a moment of disappointment.   But it was also expected.   Even the mysterious Duanmu Wan had only come up with a few books of Nurturing Qigong, and Lu Gently's master was only a somewhat famous external expert, so it was unlikely that he could recognize an internal martial arts expert.   "What? Big brother wants to practice internal martial arts? I heard that thing is very mysterious, time-consuming and very long, the process of practicing is also complex and dangerous, the power is not big, which has the effect of fast external combat strong, practicing that can do?" Lu gently did not understand.   "I have my plans."   Lu Sheng's mind was calculating.   Along the Mountain City, he did plan to go, it was just that now that this had happened, it was not really good for him to stay away from Jiu Lian City.   His family in this life had treated him well, Old Dad, Erniang, Uncle Zhao, and the others were all good.   He didn't want an accident to happen to his family before he left.   Moreover, in this world these days, if something really happened, where could he hide alone?   Lu Sheng also perceived that his old dad, Lu Quan An, had asked him to go far away to Yan Shan City, seemingly to avoid something.   "The storm is coming ah ......," he sighed long and looked at his second sister, Lu Gently, who didn't know anything, and his mood was suddenly a little heavy.   "If I really go, maybe I can hide for a while, but in the future it's always impossible to hide every time, ultimately, I have to face it. Taking advantage of the fact that the family is in a good position now and not worried about money, hurrying up to grow up and have the power to protect myself is the right way."   Going to Along the Mountain City was too far, Lu Sheng already had other plans.   Internal and external cultivation, internal and external unity, this is the most powerful direction he can think of ......   He suddenly remembered the secret book he had previously spent a large amount of money to get at auction, the Black Fury Technique remnants.   "Even though it's a remnant, it's the only secret book in my hand right now, whatever."   While listening to Lu Gently chirping and talking around about the interesting things she had learned from her previous masters, Lu Sheng began to silently recall the Black Fury Technique's route of transportation.   He had practiced Black Fury Power for quite a while before, and he still remembered the first layer of the introductory heart method.   Seeing that Lu Sheng was a bit distracted, Lu gently spoke for a while and then left with some disappointment.   Xiao Qiao came in afterward and gave Lu Sheng a basin of water to wash his face, and then brought medicinal soup for him to take.   In the middle of this, Lu Sheng didn't say anything, while doing his work, his attention was fully on the intentional route of running the Black Fury Technique.   He guessed that the reason why the Black Fury Skill was so difficult to accomplish, was it the same as the Jade Crane Skill, there should also be an initial luck map.   The luck chart of the Jade Crane Technique was a crane with its wings lifting up and wanting to fly.   The Black Fury Technique, on the other hand, should probably have a chart like that as well.   But there was none in the secret book.   "This diagram is like a general outline. Coordinating and unifying the running routes of the entire body's internal qi."   It was a pity that he had too little internal energy information in his hands to study and grope it in a systematic manner.   Just like that, he concentrated on practicing the Black Fury Technique while recuperating his injuries.   In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.   There was another strange incident in Jiu Lian City.   On the wall of a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, someone found graffiti that had been randomly scribbled by a child.   It looked like they were scribbling on the wall with coke, but there were good people who specifically went to keep watch to see who's children were being so mischievous.   I didn't realize that overnight, god forbid, there was more inexplicable graffiti on the fence.   Didn't see anyone pass by at all.   The Xu family's murder case, the Wang family's well throwing case, and the hunter's disappearance case, plus this inexplicable graffiti.   This series of events has caused Jiu Lian City to be on edge for a while.   Some people also said, in the night outside the city heard a mournful screams, bold past a look, the ground seems to have beasts fighting after leaving traces, there are blood residues.   And the governor's office came again instructions, looking for people's request for assistance can be withdrawn.   One morning, Lu Quanan and the remaining three family heads were summoned to the governor's office again.   When he came back, he had a very bad look on his face.   When Lu Sheng went to ask, he didn't say anything, only saying that he had clashed with the governor's office and had a bad time.   Afterwards, Lu Quanan sought out Lu Anping, Lu Sheng's eldest uncle, who was a deputy commander in the garrison.   The Lu family has been able to stand firm over the years, and naturally, Lu Quan'an is not the only one who has connections. Great Uncle Lu Anping was also a pillar that he had fostered and supported.   The two were in the study for a long time with the door closed before opening it again.   Afterward, the eldest uncle was seen leaving the Lu Mansion in a hurry.   Lu Sheng was resting and recuperating in his room, and through Lu Gently and Xiao Qiao, he continued to learn about the situation in the residence. There were also Erniang, Wuniang and Lu Yingying, Uncle Zhao, etc., who also came over to visit him from time to time.   The Jiu Lian City outside of the Lu Family Mansion gave Lu Sheng a feeling of increasing crisis.   At this time, Uncle Zhao sent someone over again, saying that he had found traces of Little Eight. He was unconscious in a house on that street, and by the time he was found, he was already starving and skinny.   "Hachi? Did he say what he encountered? Why was he alone in that house?"   Lu Sheng asked.   The one who came to deliver the message was one of the guards under Zhao Bo, and he shook his head.   "Didn't say anything, just repeated it over and over again, saying that he desperately ran there that day, and had just arrived at that street, and shortly after he went in, he suddenly fainted on the ground, and when he woke up, he had already seen us by the time he saw us."   Lu Sheng frowned.   "The answer is true?"   "True. Uncle Zhao has already checked it from many sides, and it is indeed like what Hachi said."   "This is strange. ......"   Lu Sheng shook his head.   "You go down first."   "Yes."   The guards quickly left.   Lu Sheng walked a few steps back and forth in the small courtyard in front of his room.   His injuries had long since almost healed. It was just that he had been practicing the Black Fury Technique diligently, waiting for a sense of Qi.   As long as there was a hint of Qi Sense, he planned to rapidly raise his internal energy, making sure to let Black Fury Technique truly form part of his strength.   Right at this moment, Lu Quanan hurriedly entered the courtyard with two household servants.   "Sheng'er, it's almost time to recuperate, why don't we depart today?"   Lu Quan An's face was gentle and calm, carrying a black silk package in his hand. Obviously, it was the traveling allowance prepared for Lu Sheng.
