"Only, I want to remind you that these three internal skills are all health-preserving skills that only focus on health preservation. After practicing, there is no power in fighting against others. "
Duanmu Wan reminded.
"There are only two levels of health preservation....Is there no real Jianghu internal strength?"
Lu Sheng frowned a little.
"Yes...it's just that kind of internal strength, most of them have sects...Even if it's given to the son, do you dare to repair it?"
Duanmu Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Sheng with a slight smile. .
Lu Sheng was silent and smiled.
"Indeed, I don't dare to cultivate that kind of internal power. Once the internal power of the sect is leaked, it will be a never-ending hatred.
" It takes a very long time, and the power is not significant, so it is not as good as these three."
As for Lu Sheng, he immediately admitted his cowardice, but Duanmu Wan gave him a high look. In front of a beauty like her, almost all men will unconsciously become aggressive. Heart, to be strong, no matter what, you must show your strong and heroic side.
But Lu Sheng could say the words 'I don't dare' with a straight face, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"Your three internal skills don't quite meet my requirements."
Lu Sheng said solemnly.
"Master Lu, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you must know that this internal strength secret book is not Chinese cabbage. You can have it whenever you want."
Duanmu Wan said with a smile.
"It's a coincidence that I have so many books here. After a while, there may not be any more..."
Lu Sheng didn't understand what she meant.
"Isn't the secret book copied and sold repeatedly?"
"That's what I said, but here I am selling the only copies, the original ones." Duanmu Wan said to herself.
"Is this true?" Lu Sheng's heart moved.
"Of course it's true. As for the Heisha Gong, it's better for Mr. Lu to not practice. It's fine if the practice is incomplete. It's still a remnant handed down from hundreds of years ago. It's almost impossible to find a complete follow-up."
Duanmu Wan advised.
Lu Sheng pondered.
"I don't know, does Miss Wan'er have any other secrets? I don't want the original, I just need to transcribe it. How about one hundred and two?"
Duanmu Wan's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile.
"Master Lu is so obsessed with martial arts?"
"Yeah, I'm actually a martial artist." Lu Sheng answered seriously.
Duanmu Wan looked at him with interest, just like that for a moment, she suddenly burst out laughing.
"If that's the case, then pay first hand."
"First hand delivery. I want Jade Crane Art."
Lu Sheng ordered a copy at random. She took out the silver note from her bosom, which was his last deposit, and it was gone when it was used up.
Duanmu Wan took the silver note without looking at it, tucked it into her sleeve, and put down the jade crane art.
"Then wish the son a great success in martial arts soon."
"Thank you for the good words."
Lu Sheng got up and saw her off.
After sending Duanmu Wan to the gate, watching her get on the carriage, and leaving slowly, Lu Sheng was slightly relieved.
For some reason, every time he faced Duanmu Wan, he would be slightly cautious.
It was obvious that the other party was just a weak woman who didn't seem to have any martial arts skills, but he just didn't feel right.
Watching the carriage drive slowly, until it exits the end of the street, I can no longer see it.
Lu Sheng just turned around.
Holding the Jade Crane Art in his hand, Lu Sheng hesitated for a while, but decided to take a look at this internal art first.
************************
Jiuliancheng prefect yamen.
In the square-shaped yamen compound, the yard is facing the court, the ground is covered with white stone bricks, and the sun shines on it, reflecting a slightly dazzling light.
In the court hall on the inner side of the courtyard, more than a dozen vermilion pillars support the red roof.
There were two rows of killing power sticks on both sides of the court, all painted red.
Song Duanchi, the prefect of the prefecture, sat on the court with his brows furrowed. Behind him was a huge picture of the blue sky and the sun, and a crane was flying with its wings.
There were two people standing on each side below, a total of four people.
They are Zhao, Li, Lu, and Zheng four patriarchs.
These four companies represent the forces of all walks of life in the entire Jiulian City.
Road safety is one of them.
He was wearing a jacket of Qian Yuan and a red jade hat. He kept pinching the beard on his chin with his hands, and stared at the prefect who was sitting in the hall.
Including the prefect, none of the five made a sound.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Shide, is a bald old man with strong muscles. His Zhao family leads all the restaurants, brothels, music halls, and casinos in the entire Jiulian City. The most powerful of the four.
Seeing that no one spoke at this time, he shrugged and spoke first.
"Master Song, you asked us to look for someone and something, and we sent someone to look for it. I thought it was just a small matter.
But now more than ten of our people have disappeared in a row, which is a major matter of human life.
If this happens , if you don't speak up and tell the truth, then don't blame us for not being with us."
Lu Quan'an made up his mind to keep his mouth shut.
The other two seemed to have the same plan as him.
The prefect Song Duanchi frowned and sighed deeply.
"Things, people, are instructions passed down from above, and I can't help it.
In addition, strange things have happened one after another in the past few days, all in and out of the city. I also invited the host of the Red Lotus Temple to do rituals, but to no avail.
The Jianghu Ranger you invited has also gone forever. I don't know if he ran away, or...the case of Wangjiazhuang outside the city has not been closed yet.
This official asked the four of you to get together, just to see if the four of you have any good ideas.
This Jiulian City is, after all, our Jiulian City. The three of
Lu Quan'an still didn't speak.
Then Zhao Shide sneered.
"Let's not mention the matter of looking for someone, let's stop first."
As for other matters, since the old man can't do anything about it, I invited an expert with extraordinary skills to come and investigate. It's just this reward, it's not worth it just for my family to pay? "
Since he is a master, if he can really solve the case, I will give him all the rewards." "The prefect was the first to confirm.
"My family has sponsored 1,000 taels." "
"Me too." "
Lu An'an hurriedly said.
"I am the same." "The last home page went with the university to flow out a thousand taels.
"Okay, this case of the Xu family has been taken over for the time being, but the case of Wangjiazhuang..." The prefect began to be in trouble again.
"Wangjiazhuang.... But the case of the concubine throwing into the well? Wouldn't it be better to just follow the Song Law directly? The
head of the Li family said lightly.
"If only it were that simple ." But the problem is that now even the concubine's body can't be found, and there is not even a trace of blood at the bottom of the well.
But there are many people in Zhuangzi who swear and say that they saw the concubine thrown into the well with their own eyes. We did find footprints from the well..." The
prefect shook his head and said.
"It's an eventful autumn..." Lu Quan'an looked at this scene with a slight emotion in his heart.
When he thought of the terrified face of his old friend of the Xu family before he died, his heart suddenly twitched.
********************
Road House.
in the bedroom.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind concentrated, and according to the method of Yuhegong, he began to imagine a crane that was about to fly in his chest.
After Lu Sheng closed his eyes for a while, he slowly opened his eyes again, took out the Jade Crane Technique cheat book from his arms, and opened it.
On the first page opened, there is a clear hand-painted crane that flutters its wings and wants to fly. The gesture of flying to the sky gives people a feeling of slight depression.
Lu Sheng stared at the painting for a moment, then immediately closed his eyes and continued to imagine the crane on his chest.
Repeat this three times.
The light outside the window gradually dimmed.
Xiaoqiao also came over and asked him to eat several times. Lu Sheng refused one by one, still keeping the door closed, and continued to sit on the bed.
The pine cranes he imagined are getting more and more realistic and real.
When it was just dark in the evening, Lu Sheng, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Phew...
a breath of turbid air was spit out fiercely by him.
He took a deep breath and clearly felt that there was an ant-like thin line on his chest, and it slowly turned in his chest to form a simple ellipse.
This ellipse rotates clockwise, and the speed is very slow and slow. If you don't feel it carefully, you can't tell it apart at all.
Lu Sheng was tired and relaxed, and hurriedly meditated in his mind.
"Dark Blue."
Suddenly, the modifier page appeared in front of him.
In the dark blue modifier box, there is another small line of text below the Black Tiger Sword Technique.
'Jade Crane Gong: Not getting started. '
"As soon as possible."
Lu Sheng hurriedly began to concentrate, and clicked the edit button to prevent this sense of vigor from disappearing.
As the button was pressed, the entire dark blue modifier flashed.
Lu Sheng quickly focused his attention on the Jade Crane Technique.
"Up one level!" he muttered silently.
The state of Yuhegong suddenly jumped.
Never get started, just get started.
Lu Sheng stopped, feeling that a faint stream of silk threads appeared in his body, and it began to slowly flow from his chest to his lower abdomen.
Between the chest and the lower abdomen, an oval ring is formed. The traces of cool air threads are constantly flowing between the two.
"Getting started... It seems that the physical burden is not very heavy."
Lu Sheng thought for a while, then continued to concentrate, imagining that the realm of Yuhegong was further improved.
Cough cough! !
Suddenly he felt his throat dry and itchy, and he coughed loudly.
An annoyance and heat rose from the lower abdomen and rushed to his heart, and Lu Sheng suddenly became dry.
"No, the body is weak! This Jade Crane Skill has improved rapidly, and it also hurts the body, but it's not as domineering as the Black Tiger Sword."
Lu Sheng let go of his energy and let the modifier slowly fade away.
"This is internal strength?"
He stretched out his feet and slowly got out of bed.
Carefully feeling the inner qi of the Jade Crane Gong that circulates continuously between the chest and abdomen, it feels novel.
"It feels like there is an extra line in the body."
Lu Sheng tried to control the line, and found that this thing didn't seem to be able to go anywhere else, and could only be fixed in circles between the chest and abdomen.
And in the process of this trace of inner air, he clearly felt that his breathing was much easier and his spirits were stronger.
"I'll take a look at the internal strength of entering the door..." Lu Sheng pulled out the secret book and looked at the record above.
