Chapter 43 - The shadow of a woman I

Creak.

　　Closing the door, Song Zhenguo walked to the windowsill just in time to see a black pigeon with pink and white eyes, squatting on his window pane, grooming its feathers by itself.

　　He saw the spirit of the situation, quickly went over to grab the pigeon, and gently removed a small paper tube from its leg.

　　The paper tube was unfolded, and on the top was clearly written a line of small, elegant letters: 'Brother Song, the matter of that Wang Gongzi, Jun'er will help you ask.

　　In addition, after a while is the smoked satin festival, can Brother Song promise Jun'er, at that time must must not come to the painting boat, must not come!

　　Song Zhenguo froze and continued to read on.

　　''The boat maiden and them will use the name of the girls that day to make gimmicks everywhere to cheat people, and some bad arrangements for big brother Song. Promise me that Jun'er will take care of everything, and after this trip to the smoked satin festival, Jun'er will promise to go home with big brother Song .....'

　　After reading the contents of the unfolded paper scroll, Song Zhenguo's face immediately showed a strong color of joy.

　　"Big Brother Song promises you that he will not give them a chance!" Although he had some doubts, after all, the reason here is a little far-fetched, but out of trust in Jun'er, did not suspect anything.

　　Song Zhenguo quickly found paper, wrote what he wanted to say, then rolled it into a tube and tied it to the black pigeon's leg. Both hands cupped the black pigeon and tossed it outward, at once the pigeon fluttered and flew away.

　　The pigeon flew on its wings, rushed out of the Song family compound, gently swept between the vermillion bricks and tiles, crossed a bean curd-like street, crossed the black roofs of buildings of varying heights, and soon arrived at the Pine River and landed towards a red painted boat.

　　The black dove fluttered its wings and stopped in front of a compartment window on the boat and was gently held by a slender hand.

　　Jun'er quickly removed the paper roll tied to the black dove's feet, looked around, and hurriedly released it to fly.

　　"Go on, go back to the nest." She said gently.

　　The black dove lifted its wings and flew out, quickly disappearing at the edge of the window.

　　Jun'er closed the window and gently unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it. A hint of tenderness appeared on her face. Hastily, she lit the paper scroll on the candle flame.

　　She held it in her hand and waited for the paper scroll to burn just a little bit of the edge before gently opening the window slit and throwing it out, letting it float into the Pine River.

　　Creak ....

　　Suddenly the door of the room opened automatically, as if someone pushed the door from the outside, Jun'er was frightened and turned around violently, shocked and pressed the puffed chest, staring at the door.

　　After settling down, she walked over, looked around, didn't find any moving figures, and stuck her head out in the corridor outside to have a look.

　　This is the dressing room below the cabin, because of Song Zhenguo, she now has her own independent one dressing room, there is not much around, the other sisters have gone up to receive guests.

　　The corridor was empty, not a single person.

　　With a soft sigh of relief, June turned her head back to her room, locked the door and added another bolt.

　　She sat down at the dressing table, picked up a comb, and gently combed her hair. Whenever she was in a volatile mood, combing her hair always helped her to calm down gradually.

　　But just as she picked up the comb, she suddenly changed her complexion.

　　Only to see that on the wooden tabletop below the comb, there was a line written in black eyebrow pen.

　　''Kaizen Festival must get down, don't forget your identity.''

　　Jun'er bit her lower lip, and a struggle emerged in her eyes. Hesitating for a moment before she gently wrote 'yes' with the eyebrow pen, then reached out and wiped away the writing, leaving only a black smudge.

　　The first thing you can do is to look at your own blurred face in the bronze mirror, and for a moment you are a little dazed.

　　She knew it was a warning, warning her not to do anything extra, but fortunately the contents of the paper scroll had not been discovered.

　　"It's a pity that ..... Can't be with big brother Song for a long time ...." A trace of regret and determination flashed across her beautiful eyes.

　　The master wants to collect people with a yin time of birth, and also people with a yin year, yin month, and yin time. And Song Zhen Guo is one of the targets, in order to take people, all the unexpected preparations are ready. Just waiting for her to ask him to come on the day of the smoked satin festival.

　　But she unknowingly, slowly fall in love with the upright and brisk Song Zhenguo, worship, admire, want to rely on and rely on .....

　　"Brother Song .... Jun'er is so tired .... So tired ...." Jun'er gently touched her cheek, a tear slid silently down the corner of her eye.

　　.............

　　In a small canyon outside the city.

　　BOOM!!!

　　Lu Sheng turned back with a palm, booming the thick stone behind him into pieces, an arm-length of stone was broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.

　　Boom boom boom!!!

　　Lu Sheng and swiftly turn around, a chain of palms, the remaining stones hanging around one by one into broken pieces.

　　The gray stone powder slowly scattered, some choking.

　　Lu Sheng slowly collected his power, his palms closed, sinking Dantian stand.

　　"My knife method palm method have enough, still lacking is light gait, there is also a distant concealed weapons also need to make up, otherwise in case the distance is far, encounter hanging kite type opponents will be trouble." Lu Sheng slowly calmed his internal energy, pondering in his mind.

　　"In addition, the jade crane work absorbed the black tiger knife power way, get to enhance the quality change. But this enhancement is dependent on the powder left by that ghostly creature.

　　The fusion process and details in between, if I were to rely on myself alone, the work experience and fumbling needed is too much, it is similar to the difficulty of creating martial arts, it is simply impossible to complete alone."

　　After himself, he tried to make breakthroughs in other internal and external martial arts, but unfortunately not, several times down to the body meridian injury ended. And the results produced in repeated attempts were completely different from what he had expected.

　　"Without a sufficiently rich martial arts experience, want to create their own breakthrough gong method restrictions, it seems to be impossible." Lu Sheng's heart became clear. "The Jade Crane function absorbs the Black Tiger Blade power technique and produces a benign qualitative change, which seems simple, but actually should have been simulated countless times beforehand to finally come up with the best result. If I want to continue to improve my martial arts, I must find more similar things left behind by ghosts."

　　After collecting his power, Lu Sheng walked to the trunk of the big tree, took down the hanging towel of his jacket and other things, and used the towel to wipe the sweat from his body.

　　"It's time to try out how powerful the third layer of the Black Fury Kung Fu is." He hadn't been able to exert his full strength to try how strong the third layer of the Black Severance Kung Fu really was, and now that his body was healed, he could just try it out.

　　Looking at the big tree in front of him, Lu Sheng, on a whim, pushed up his internal qi with all his might, surged into his right hand, and struck out with a fierce palm strike.

　　Boom!!!

　　The same sound as before, the power is not much greater. After all, the Black Fury Kung Fu increase is not mainly in the explosive power.

　　Lu Sheng gently withdrew his hand, see the trunk of the tree is clearly printed out a black as ink handprint.

　　The handprint is more than ten centimeters deep, and the whole emits a pungent and fiery smell.

　　Lu Sheng reached out and gently touched the edge of the black handprint, a large piece of bark immediately fell off, the inside of the bark is covered with a large number of black lines like wrinkles.

　　"This is as if the fire burns like a burn. Black Severance Kung Fu, it seems that in the Yang internal energy, should also be a good grade, but unfortunately, only a few layers of residual... If you can deduce and strengthen the Black Death Technique, perhaps the future development and improvement will be even greater!"

　　He is now already equivalent to the profound power of a normal person cultivating forty to fifty years, and this is not counting the cultivation time of the Black Tiger Blade Technique and other martial arts.

　　"Next, it's time to practice a specialized footwork, whether it's the Black Tiger Blade or the rest of the martial arts, there are only footwork to match the attack, the real pure footwork used to catch up, chase and escape, I don't have a complete system."

　　Lu Sheng began to look through the footwork he had collected. So far, he had only collected one, and that was the Eight Precious Steps that he had gotten his hands on in Nine Company City. But this one was only specifically for dodging in battle.

　　"Deep Blue." He silently recited in his mind.

　　The modifier box emerged and hovered in front of his eyes.

　　Lu Sheng recalled the Eight Precious Steps that he had memorized before, the step grade was a step below the Wind Chasing Blade, and there was not even an intention map to observe it, so he simply memorized it directly.

　　Carefully recall a step, Lu Sheng slowly take the left foot, then calf muscles rotate to the left to make force, the right leg in the side of the trunk a little, the whole person to use the force to leap forward. This is the first step of the Eight Precious Steps, this step is a total of eight steps, a total of three levels, it is said to be imitating the once famous Chinese step eight steps to catch the cicada.

　　Lu Sheng studied for a while, and with his own foundation of footwork, he quickly became familiar with the movement strength and saw the option of the Eight Precious Steps on the modifier.

　　He quickly stopped moving and pressed the modifier button with his mind.

　　At once the entire modifier box flickered violently.

　　"Raise the Eight Precious Steps by one level." Lu Sheng continued.

　　In the options on the modifier, the status of the Eight Precious Steps suddenly went from uninitiated to initiated all at once.

　　Lu Sheng checked his body status, except that his legs were slightly tingling and itchy, and the internal qi of Black Tiger Jade Crane Kung Fu had decreased a bit, but the rest had no reaction.

　　"Unknowingly I have accumulated to this point ah .... This kind of martial arts at the end of the jianghu, can no longer make me feel burdened." Lu Sheng sighed in his heart and continued to look at the modifier box.

　　'Eight Precious Steps: Introductory.'

　　"Raise the Eight Precious Steps to the highest third level." Lu Sheng simply silently recited it directly.

　　Swish!

　　The Eight Precious Steps flickered and changed from Introductory, to the first level. Lu Sheng didn't seem to feel it.

　　Swish!

　　The second layer, Lu Sheng felt his legs itch a little more.

　　Finally swish, eight precious step directly jumped to the third layer, the black tiger jade crane gong internal qi also consumed four fifths of the degree, this amount will need him at least two days to recover from.

　　But throughout this step, Lu Sheng already felt the countless experience, walking method, usage of the Eight Precious Steps in his mind, all melt together, and his legs were obviously more flexible and more powerful than before.

　　"Try it!"

　　Lu Sheng sight saw a sparrow in front of him, was just fluttering and flying from the grass, shooting towards the distance.

　　His feet made a strong effort, fierce rush forward.

　　Puff puff puff ....

　　Eight consecutive sharp steps to catch up, that small bird before it could react to turn, it was caught by Lu Sheng in his hand with a slap.

　　"I am explosive, Black Fury Kung Fu internal energy and Black Tiger Jade Crane Kung Fu both enhance the explosion and also strengthen the physical body. Making the Eight Precious Steps with this kind of foundation is quite effective. This should have the effect of eight steps to catch the cicada, right?" Lu Sheng released his hand in satisfaction and saw a small sparrow that he had crushed into a bloody mess...

　　He suddenly became helpless.

　　"Steps get solved, it's time to try to find hard feats to try." Lu Sheng thought about it, come along the mountain city these months, he also secretly investigated and asked clearly the situation in this city.

　　Along the mountain city experts are not many, because the government is strong, more control over the Jianghu people, so the experts here instead of the official and with the military generals come more.

　　One of the most famous, is a qingfeng sword Lu Cheng Zhong. Compared to this person, the rest of the people are just a companion, but Lu Chengzhong is already eighty-seven years old, three sons are high officials in the city, it is not good to approach to ask for advice.

　　This first will be Lu Sheng excluded.
