Chapter 0007 Examination
It has a strange smell and it irritates the throat. It is not a pleasant feeling.
Li Chengkong forced himself to suppress the feeling in his throat and nose and swallowed it down.
The secret book went into his stomach, and his heart went into his stomach as well.
Recalling the secret book I just saw, its name is Nine Nether Claws.
He was finally able to conclude that the man in black was the murderer and also knew why he killed people.
There is a mnemonic in the secret book: Infused with essence and blood, it is harder than iron and stone, indestructible, as swift as a ghost, and unavoidable.
The man in black must have wanted to kill someone and use other people's blood and essence to infuse his ten fingers. However, the power of the man's Nine Nether Claws was too weak, so it seemed as if this secret book was just bragging.
When he arrived at the vegetable field, Old Wang was already drinking tea in front of the log pile.
If you drink too much tea, you will have to go to the toilet more often. The saying "lazy donkeys and lazy horses produce a lot of shit and urine" is the best description of him.
"Chengkong, no work today, continue practicing sword skills!"
"Old Wang, I have killed that guy." The stick in Li Chengkong's sleeve slid from his arm into his hand, and he stabbed it lightly, silently and swiftly.
After using this move to kill someone, he found that he had become more proficient in this move. He had reached the top in a short period of time and it was impossible to improve further.
If you want to make further progress, you have to find a way to improve your inner strength.
It is easy to reach the limit of physical strength, but it is difficult to reach the limit of internal strength.
He already knew from Song Minghua and the others that there were ten levels of martial arts. The tenth level, Great Light, was said to be able to shatter the void and ascend to heaven in broad daylight. Its potential was beyond imagination.
"You killed him?" Old Wang looked at him sideways.
Li Chengkong nodded.
"Just you——?" Old Wang squinted his eyes and curled his lips.
Li Chengkong said: "Last night, that guy sneaked into our house, and I took advantage of the time when Old Song and the other two were besieging him and attacked him by surprise."
"Hmm..." Old Wang nodded slowly: "That's possible. Song Minghua and his three guys have some mediocre skills."
Li Chengkong said: "The prison is offering a reward for a treasure and a yard. What treasure do we have in our warehouse?"
“Treasure…” Old Wang rolled his eyes to the sky.
Li Chengkong said: "I want to choose a treasure, preferably one that can enhance my energy and make me more energetic."
He was limited by his lack of energy. Even if his thinking was ten times faster and his practice was ten times faster, his energy was quickly consumed and his practice speed was only slightly faster than that of others.
Energy is the biggest constraint on his rapid progress, and it is of utmost importance.
"Haha, treasure!" Old Wang looked at him and said, "Are you happy too early?"
"Could it be that the prison has spoken out of turn? ... Isn't it said that Chief Qin is very fair and will not take away our credit?"
"If it was Qin Tiannan, he would not break his promise, but he has no say in this matter."
"Could the palm print be out of line?"
"Hey, our palm seal can't tolerate any sand in his eyes... By the way, the Qiankun style must not be told!"
Li Chengkong frowned and thought.
His thoughts suddenly quickened and everything around him slowed down, allowing him to think calmly and clearly.
We cannot tolerate any sand in our eyes, so we have to investigate and verify the truth to prevent the four people from cheating.
Could this be possible? Is there really someone cheating?
How dare the vegetable-growing eunuchs deceive the Imperial Palace? It seems that these vegetable-growing eunuchs are not good people. They look honest, but you can't be deceived by this appearance.
If you can't tolerate any grain of sand in your eyes, then you must investigate yourself.
He had never practiced martial arts at the beginning. He learned the most basic breathing technique and practiced a stabbing technique from Song Minghua.
They are not hiding from people and are not afraid of investigation.
But this is far from enough. The stabbing method that he practiced is far more powerful than the Qiankun style. He cannot kill the man in black with his own stabbing method alone.
Can the Qiankun style be covered up?
Can’t cover it up!
They could see through my little martial arts skills at a glance.
But Old Wang wouldn’t let me speak, so how could I get through this?
You can't say it was a divine gift in a dream, right?
Thinking back to normal speed, he said, "Old Wang, if they knew you taught me swordsmanship, would you be in trouble?"
"I won't be unlucky, they won't bother with me, but you will be unlucky!"
"Um--?"
"I have too many enemies. Once I find out that you practiced the martial arts I taught you, I will cause trouble for you!"
"How much trouble?"
"It's beyond your imagination. I haven't taught you martial arts yet." Old Wang shook his head: "I don't want to hurt you."
"It seems that you are a big shot, Old Wang." Li Chengkong said with a smile: "Excuse me, my disrespect!"
Old Wang waved his hand nonchalantly: "What big shot or small shot? In the end, they are still growing vegetables and begging for a living!"
"Does the palm print have a grudge against you, Old Wang?"
"There is a grudge."
Li Chengkong frowned.
Then we can't hide it anymore.
A shadow cast a shadow over his heart, but he quickly put it aside.
Since becoming a eunuch, and then a eunuch who grows vegetables, he has learned one thing, which is to stay calm.
…
When he returned to the yard at night, everyone who was busy in the yard looked at him in surprise, as if they saw him for the first time.
Li Chengkong nodded to everyone and walked into his room calmly. He found that in addition to Song Minghua and the other two, there were four other people, one was Qin Tiannan, two burly middle-aged men, and one old man with white hair and a youthful face.
Qin Tiannan snorted, "Li Chengkong, why don't you pay your respects to Master Gao, the seal holder!"
Li Chengkong knew that the old man with white hair and youthful face in front of him was Gao Qi, the seal holder of the Xiaoling Shrine.
Gao Qi sat there with his big horse and golden sword, waving his hands: "Forget it, was it you who killed that guy?"
Li Chengkong clasped his fists, bowed and nodded.
Gao Qi said: "As far as I know, you have never practiced martial arts, right?"
"I practiced breathing techniques." Li Chengkong said.
Gao Qi waved his hand.
"Clang..." Amid the dragon's roar, Qin Tiannan drew out the long sword from his waist and threw it to Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong took the long sword, and held it in his hand. It was as heavy as the iron rod and he used it very well. The sword was shining brightly and exuded a chill.
He stabbed Qin Tiannan in the chest.
Then he showed a look of pain, and let go of his hand with a pale face.
Qin Tiannan pinched the tip of the sword with his index and middle fingers, snatched the sword and put it back into the sheath, then grabbed Li Chengkong's arm.
A warm air current entered his arm, swirled around and then exited, leaving Li Chengkong feeling lost.
"It's strained ." Qin Tiannan let go of his hand.
Li Chengkong tried to hold back the pain: "I was too anxious at the time and only wanted to stab him. I didn't think about anything else. Later I realized my arm was almost broken."
"It's rare that someone with such shallow internal energy can thrust out such a fast sword." Qin Tiannan nodded and looked at Gao Qi.
The sword was fast, but within normal range.
Being able to kill that guy must have been an extraordinary performance. The desperate situation stimulated his potential, so he hurt himself.
Gao Qi glanced at Qin Tiannan.
The cold light on Qin Tiannan's waist suddenly flashed, and the tip of the sword had already pierced Li Chengkong's chest, about to pierce through his heart.
After Li Chengkong's brain was integrated with Yitian, not only did his thinking become faster, but his observation also became sharper . When Qin Tiannan's shoulder moved, his mind moved, and the world in front of him slowed down ten times.
A sturdy wooden stick slid out of the sleeve and stabbed at the sword.
This stab did not use the Qiankun style, but was purely driven by internal force.
The sword and the stick intersected with precision.
The wooden stick was split in half by the long sword, and the tip of the sword stopped when it pierced his palm, and then it was returned to the sheath.
Qin Tiannan looked at him coldly and then looked at Gao Qi.
"Palm Seal, who is that guy?" Li Chengkong said. He knew that he couldn't let them test it any further, otherwise they might be exposed.
Gao Qi stood up and walked out.
Li Chengkong asked, "Does the seal holder want to deny the reward?"
"How dare you!" Qin Tiannan shouted.
Li Chengkong only felt as if there were thunder exploding in his ears, buzzing, and his head was dizzy as if he had high blood pressure.
Gao Qi swung his sleeves and left a message before walking out of the house: "Your reward is inevitable!"
