　　Chichichi~

　　Chen Jie grasped the bamboo tube, and then pulled it out of the gap little by little, with great effort.

　　I don't know how the bamboo tube was stuffed into the wooden beam.

　　Finally, after great effort, Chen Jie pulled out the bamboo tube.

　　Wave~

　　I took the bamboo tube in my hand and found that it could rotate. I twisted it and the tube broke in the middle, revealing the note inside.

　　This is a slightly yellowed piece of paper, very small, only the size of a page, which was rolled up, folded and stuffed into a bamboo tube. When it was opened, there were only four big characters written on it: "Dragon Fights in the Wild".

　　A dragon fights in the wild, its blood is dark yellow. This is the fourth palm of the [Eighteen Palms of Capturing the Dragon]. Yes, this is the secret book hidden by the old beggar, and it is also the secret book that the entire Mianshui County is frantically looking for.

　　Only one move, but it is enough to shock the entire Mianshui, the super martial arts [Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms]

　　[Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms] is the Beggars' Sect's unique martial art. During the pre-Song Dynasty, successive leaders of the sect used this skill to suppress the world and helped the Beggars' Sect achieve the reputation of being the largest gang in the world.

　　Later, the Mulan tribe came from the grassland and invaded the Central Plains. The Beggar Gang was no match for the Mulan cavalry and was defeated. Then the Mulan tribe established a country - Daqian.

　　After the founding of the Daqian Kingdom, in order to consolidate its rule, it launched a sixty-year campaign to suppress the Jianghu. This was the famous Battle of Master Mulan and his Horse Trampling the Jianghu.

　　In that battle, the Mulan people first recruited people in the martial arts world who were willing to serve them. Later, they used these people as a supplement, and the Mulan Iron Cavalry Canglang Army as the main force, and then the strongest man in the world at that time, Mulan National Master Bashiba Living Buddha, as the commander-in-chief.

　　The bloodiest massacre in the martial arts world began.

　　For a time, almost all the martial arts masters were slaughtered, and a large number of martial arts secrets were snatched away by the Mulan people. As for the remaining martial artists, they either surrendered to the Mulan people or went into seclusion.

　　It was also during this period that the Beggars' Sect's unique martial art, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, was lost with the death of the former leader in battle.

　　As a result, only the inheritance of twelve palms was left in the entire Beggars' Sect, and the last six strongest palms were lost.

　　In order to prevent another incident similar to the one that happened to National Master Mu Lan, the Beggars' Sect simply split up the remaining twelve palms and passed them on to the absolutely loyal members as an encouragement.

　　In addition, it can also prevent the loss of the Beggars' Sect's martial arts in an incident similar to the Ma Trampling Jianghu incident.

　　As more and more people learn it, as long as someone escapes, they can get together and put the twelve palms together again to choose the future successor of the Beggars' Sect. In this way, the Beggars' Sect's unique skills will never be lost and can be passed down forever.

　　This is also the reason why the old beggar was able to learn the Eighteen Palms. In order to pass it on, he could not destroy the secret book, so he could only find a place to hide it, which gave Chen Jie a bargain for nothing.

　　After these eighteen palms are separated, there is no difference between strong and weak. The strength of each palm is basically the same. If you want to make the palm technique stronger, you need to superimpose them.

　　In other words, after learning two palms, the power of the two palms used together is stronger than learning one palm, and after learning three palms, the power of the three palms used together is stronger than learning two palms.

　　According to legend, the last palm of [Eighteen Palms to Capture the Dragon], [The Dragon's Regret], is a move without intention. It is said that this palm is made by combining the previous seventeen palms together with the mind, and blasting out one palm, which is the eighteenth palm [The Dragon's Regret], which can destroy the sky if it is resisted.

　　The old beggar learned the fourth palm among the Eighteen Palms, [Dragon Fighting in the Wild].

　　The palm strike was extremely powerful, intending to hide thunder in silence, as if a giant dragon was hiding in the wilderness, which would shake the world if it did not move.

　　Its ferocity is even greater than that of the [Brick Opening Hand].

　　The Stone-Breaking Hand is actually very powerful, and can be considered a brave palm technique among the powerful ones. However, in front of the [Eighteen Hands to Capture the Dragon], it instantly becomes a farming technique.

　　It's like the difference between heaven and earth.

　　Chen Jie looked at the records of the palm techniques and was fascinated, as if he had glimpsed the secret of the world.

　　In fact, the level of the [Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Art] practiced by Chen Jie is not inferior to the full set of [Eighteen Palms to Capture the Dragon], and is even stronger than the Eighteen Palms. However, the strength of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Art is not as evenly distributed as the [Eighteen Palms to Capture the Dragon]. Except for the eighteenth palm, there is no difference in strength between the first seventeen palms.

　　The [Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Art] becomes stronger as time goes by, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

　　Among the four major character formulas, the strongest one is the winter character formula.

　　Sow in spring, bloom in summer, mature in autumn, and die in winter.

　　It is in line with the development of martial arts.

　　Just like Chen Jie's Yangchun Jue, it is a magical skill to warm the body and consolidate the foundation.

　　In terms of strength, it is not necessarily stronger than other internal skills. What matters is that it has a wide range of applications. It can be used for the matching Water-Controlling Palm, the Stone-Opening Hand, and even the Eighteen Dragon-Catching Palms that he just got.

　　This is the unique feature of the Yangchun Secret, it is versatile.

　　It does not conflict with any internal skills of any martial arts and can be used by anyone. This is a bit like the Xiao Wuxiang Gong of the Xiaoyao Sect.

　　However, Xiao Wuxiang Gong simulates the internal strength of hundreds of schools, while Yangchun Jue is applicable to the external strength of hundreds of schools.

　　Therefore, in the early stage, the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms is more powerful!

　　While Chen Jie was watching the [Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms] in fascination, Huang Wan'er below was pretending to test the water temperature with her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the reflection on the beam, with a crazy smile on the corner of her mouth.

　　Du Juan, a maidservant beside her, saw that her mistress was just paddling in the water and had no intention of bathing, so she asked, "Madam, do you want to bathe?"

　　After hearing this, Huang Wan'er came back to her senses and said, "Wait outside the door for a while. If I don't call you after a cup of tea, you can come in. If I call you, you don't have to come in."

　　After thinking for a while, Huang Wan'er picked up the paper and pen on the table and coughed lightly: "Ahem..."

　　This light cough startled Chen Jie directly. Chen Jie looked at her and saw her holding a pen and writing a few words on the paper, then folding it, putting it in an envelope aside and stamping it with a wax seal.

　　He handed it to Du Juan who was waiting on the side and said, "Take this letter. After a cup of tea, I will not go out or make any noise. You can take this letter to Master Jingxiang. But during this period, you are not allowed to peek. Do you understand?"

　　Du Juan said, "Yes."

　　Huang Wan'er leaned close to her ear and said, "This is the leader's secret. If you peek, I don't need to tell you how the leader will deal with you."

　　"Don't worry, Madam. I will never peek."

　　When Du Juan heard the word "gang leader", she was so frightened that she trembled all over and repeatedly said that she didn't dare.

　　"Well, go ahead."

　　Huang Wan'er said, and then said to the nun who followed in: "You all go down, I don't need your service today."

　　"Yes, ma'am."

　　After everyone was driven away and the door was closed, Huang Wan'er reached out and grabbed some flower petals from the basket beside her and threw them into the water.

　　But his eyes were on Chen Jie on the roof.

　　Chen Jie was also attracted by Huang Wan'er at this time. He reached out and put the secret book into his pocket, thinking that he had to find a chance to slip away after getting the thing. As for watching the beauty bathe.

　　Chen Jie doesn't have that hobby and can't get started, so what's the point of just watching?

　　He was lost in thought when he saw Huang Wan'er turning her back to Chen Jie, slowly unbuttoning her coat, revealing her white shoulders.

　　That pair of shoulders, as white as jade, looked like a pair of handicrafts, beautiful, white and inspiring.

　　Chen Jie had originally planned to take a look and then move away, and then find a way to leave, but after just one look he couldn't move away.

　　Huang Wan'er looked through the bathtub and saw Chen Jie's expression on the beam.

　　The curve of her mouth corners became even bigger, and then she unbuttoned her inner shorts, and suddenly she was left with only a bellyband on her body.

　　At this time, her entire back was exposed in front of Chen Jie.

　　Chen Jie originally had some evil thoughts in his mind, but when he saw the woman's back covered with scars, he frowned.

　　The pure white back was covered with whip marks, which shattered this work of art into pieces. It had no aesthetic appeal and was heartbreaking to look at.

　　It's like taking a beautiful piece of porcelain, smashing it into pieces, and then gluing it back together again.

　　The back of this peerless beauty has become shattered and heartbreaking.

　　While Chen Jie was worrying about the beautiful back, which looked like scars, the woman had already taken off her bellyband.

　　The whole person is clearly visible, and the clothes on the lower body are also not messy at all.

　　Just standing naked next to the bathtub.

　　Then he stepped on the bench, stepped into the bathtub, and slowly sat in it.

　　She used her jade-white hands to raise water splashes in the water, which splashed onto her shoulders. A bright petal was left on her smooth shoulders.

　　Chen Jie was a little dazed.

　　He admitted that he had overestimated his self-control. He used to be dismissive of beauties coming out of the bath, but now he had to admit that they were indeed beautiful and he loved looking at them!

　　The woman washed twice like this, staring at the bucket, and said as if talking to herself: "Does it look good?"

　　Chen Jie thought she was talking to him, so he didn't answer.

　　Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly raised her head, stared at Chen Jie and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you going to watch me like this?"

　　boom!

　　Eyes met.

　　Chen Jie was stunned at the time. He was actually discovered. He felt a little flustered, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

　　He stared at Huang Wan'er aggressively and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

　　Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "There is a reflection!"

　　Chen Jie was stunned and looked at the bathtub. He had planned everything, but he had never expected that he would be fooled by his junior high school knowledge of optics.

　　I was so focused on finding the [Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms] that I forgot my own position. My current position could be reflected in the water bucket.

　　Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "Now that you've seen it all, come down and have a chat."

　　Chen Jie's eyes darkened and he flew to the ground.

　　Huang Wan'er was still splashing in the water. She scooped up a handful of water in her hands, raised it above her head, and then slowly let it fall down.

　　As she moved, her perfect figure was clearly seen by Chen Jie, but she didn't care at all.

　　She played with the water and said, "Mr. Chen, you are indeed a trustworthy person."

　　Chen Jie frowned. What did his act of peeping at her taking a bath have to do with Xinyi?

　　Huang Wan'er said, "You said you would come to my house to express your gratitude, and indeed you did. And you chose to come when I was taking a bath. You really thought about it."

　　Chen Jie said: "I..."

　　He originally wanted to say that he came here to look for the secret book, but after thinking about it, he decided that he couldn't even talk about looking for the secret book.

　　Huang Wan'er said, "What are you talking about? You are very brave. Do you know what the consequences are of peeking at the gang leader's wife taking a bath?"

　　Chen Jie's face turned dark. What consequences would that be? If Nan Batian knew about this, with his abnormal possessiveness and exaggerated personality, he would probably issue a killing order in the underworld. Then he would hunt him down at all costs.

　　Even Peng Shizhong couldn't protect that kind of person.

　　The best outcome for him would be to be on the run, and the worst outcome would be to be killed by Nan Batian and his men, and to be crushed to ashes.

　　Chen Jie took a deep breath and his eyes turned cold.
