Chapter 0019 Background
"That's right. Even if the monk escapes, the temple cannot. Can he still leave the Xiaoling Mausoleum?"
"Even if the seal holder has a favorable impression of him, he is just a vegetable-growing eunuch and will soon forget about it."
"What palm print?" A man walking slowly towards him from a distance asked lazily.
"Yang Pu, you have sharp ears." A young man snorted.
Yang Pu is a handsome young man with a thin build and a look of loneliness and desolation between his brows.
Yang Pu said calmly, "You are looking for the seal? Unfortunately, the seal had already gone to Shenjing yesterday."
Zhou Wangchuan took a step forward and glared: "What did you say?!"
Yang Pu said calmly: "I said that the seal holder had already gone to Shenjing yesterday."
Zhou Wangchuan stared at him, his face turned dark and gloomy, and his clothes slowly bulged.
Yang Pu chuckled: "Zhou Wangchuan, who are you trying to scare?"
"Yang Pu, I'm not talking to you." A young man next to him said, "Those guys were so bold just now, they actually dared to fool us Xiaoling Guards!"
Another young man said, "What's even more outrageous is that they dared to use the banner of the seal. Are they tired of living?"
"I originally just wanted to beat him up to teach him a lesson, but now it seems that I have to give him a good beating!" The last young man shook his head and said, "These vegetable growers are becoming more and more ignorant and don't even take us seriously!"
"Take it easy. There are many hidden talents in the vegetable growing industry. Don't get yourself hurt." Yang Pu shook his head and walked forward slowly.
Zhou Wangchuan stared at the direction where Li Chengkong and the others disappeared, his teeth grinding.
…
The four of them rushed back to the courtyard in one breath.
"Hu——!" Song Minghua let out a long breath.
"It was so damn dangerous!" Sun Guiwu cried.
Hu Yunshi's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
Li Chengkong clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
"Old Li, why are we talking about this? It's really awkward!" Sun Guiwu waved his hands in dissatisfaction: "But how did you offend Zhou Wangchuan?!"
Li Chengkong came to the stone table in the southwest corner and sat down: "I didn't provoke them, they stopped me."
He seemed to be thinking about something, feeling vaguely that something was amiss.
How could it be such a coincidence that he ran into four Xiaoling guards, and these four Xiaoling guards wanted to teach him a lesson. Song Minghua and the others just happened to see it, and in order to save him, they did not hesitate to offend Zhou Wangchuan.
He doesn't believe in coincidences.
The previous scene replayed in his mind, frame by frame. He could clearly see the pores on Zhou Wangchuan's four faces, as well as his subtle expressions and eyes. The same was true for Sun Guiwu and the other two.
He noticed something strange. The eyes of Sun Guiwu and the other two exchanged several rounds with a young man next to Zhou Wangchuan.
There really is something behind this!
"This is something Zhou Wangchuan would do." Song Minghua sat opposite him: "But it's better not to bother with him, it's better to avoid him."
"Bang!" Sun Guiwu slammed his palm on the stone table and said angrily: "Damn it, according to my temper, I will kill him!"
Hu Yunshi rolled his eyes coldly and said, "Can you destroy it?"
"I..." Sun Guiwu sat down angrily.
Li Chengkong remained calm and looked at Song Minghua.
Song Minghua shook his head: "Zhou Wangchuan's martial arts skills are not bad, he is ruthless and cunning, and many people have fallen into his hands."
Li Chengkong asked, "The chief doesn't care?"
He decided to wait and see, pretending he noticed nothing.
Song Minghua was helpless: "Zhou Wangchuan is cunning and acts within the rules. Even if he is caught, his crime is minor."
"In fact, he is still protecting him secretly!" Hu Yunshi said coldly.
"Alas... Zhou Wangchuan 's father was a general who died on the battlefield." Sun Guiwu sighed: "I was born into a good family, what can I do!"
"The two brothers were admitted to the Xiaoling Guard under the protection of their father. Their eldest brother Zhou Wanghai became a centurion!" Song Minghua said, "Old Li, you may be wondering, Xiaoling Guard is so poor, how did they get into the Xiaoling Guard under the protection of their father?"
Li Chengkong asked: "Because Xiaoling Guard is the safest?"
"That's right!" Song Minghua clapped his hands. "The Xiaoling Guard is hard, but it's also the safest shortcut. As long as you don't get into trouble, you can wait until the term is up and move out to get some merit, and you can get promoted immediately."
Li Chengkong nodded slowly.
Seniority and seniority have been the norm since ancient times, and this is especially true .
"It's us vegetable-growing eunuchs who can't be relocated, but the Xiaoling Guards can be relocated." Song Minghua sighed, "So don't mess with the Xiaoling Guards, almost all of them have extraordinary backgrounds!"
Li Chengkong said: "I don't want to provoke them, but Zhou Wangchuan doesn't look like someone who would give up easily."
"If you can't afford to offend, avoid it." Song Minghua said.
Li Chengkong looked at Sun Guiwu.
Sun Guiwu said bitterly: "I can only bear it for a while! ... I really can't afford to offend him! This kid has reached the fourth level at least!"
Hu Yunshi said: "Don't even mention that we can't beat him. Even if we can beat him, the prison will never let him off easily once we start."
"If you can't win, just run away," Li Chengkong shook his head, "but I don't know Qinggong at all."
"This..." Song Minghua hesitated.
The three of them looked at each other, all with helpless expressions.
Song Minghua sighed, "Qinggong is often a secret, and we don't have any other Qinggong body techniques... But I can talk about some basic principles, which is to use internal force to stimulate the meridians in the legs. You can try to explore it yourself, but there are several meridians that are restricted areas. You can't touch them when performing Qinggong, that's..."
Li Chengkong listened carefully and nodded slightly.
He had explored it on his own and stopped immediately when he discovered danger. Now, after listening to Song Minghua's explanation, he suddenly understood.
Although it was just basic common sense, it was extremely precious to him.
He has a supercomputing brain that can test out the optimal path one by one through permutations and combinations, thus creating his own light skill.
After Song Minghua finished speaking, he once again reminded him not to confront Zhou Wangchuan head-on, and to run away if he could, but to surrender if he couldn't and endure the humiliation for a while.
Li Chengkong changed the subject.
Seeing him like this, Song Minghua said sternly, "Old Li, this Zhou Wangchuan is indeed someone you can't afford to offend. Not only is his martial arts great, but more importantly, he has a backer."
Hu Yunshi said coldly: "Zhou Wanghai!"
"This Zhou Wanghai is a centurion." Sun Guiwu said angrily, "Damn it, I can't afford to offend him!"
Li Chengkong nodded: "Go to sleep!"
He went back to the house with a frown on his face, resisting the urge to ask directly. Since they didn't say anything, it would be pointless to ask.
Sitting on the couch, Li Chengkong put aside all distractions and focused on practicing.
The internal energy gained from a night of hard practice entered the cave, just like putting a handful of water into a lake, it was out of reach to fill it up.
When he arrived at the vegetable garden the next day, he tried to use his Qinggong skills on the road, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Some meridians were infused with internal force, and the body suddenly felt lighter, and jumped out a long distance. Other meridians were infused with internal force, and the body was nailed to the spot and motionless, as if a heavy weight was placed on it.
Through experiments along the way, he found that the fastest way was to infuse his internal energy into his ten toes. This greatly increased the strength of his toes and naturally increased his running speed.
He knew that this was the dumbest way, the one that consumed the most energy, but also the safest way.
When we arrived at the vegetable garden, I told Lao Wang what happened last night.
Old Wang said: "This is just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Old Wang, do you have a solution? Tell me quickly!"
"A real man can bend and stretch." Old Wang said, "No matter how he forces you to scold you, just don't do it. It's best to just lie on the ground and roll around when you see him, don't give him a chance to take advantage of you, or he will blame you."
"...Great! What a great idea!" Li Chengkong gave a thumbs up.
"As long as it can save your life, it's a good trick." Old Wang said, "Don't think that just because you practiced a little martial arts, you can stand up straight and be a man. It's far from it. Pride is the most harmful thing. Get rid of it as soon as possible!"
Li Chengkong seemed to be thinking about something.
Old Wang snorted, "I've heard of this Zhou Wangchuan, a pretty arrogant guy. Do you know why he's so arrogant?"
Li Chengkong asked, "Relying on his elder brother's influence?"
“Whose influence does his elder brother rely on?” Old Wang snorted, “One of the four great sects, the Daluo Sect Master. Zhou Wanghai is an outer sect disciple of the Daluo Sect Master!”
Li Chengkong said: "I am really lucky!"
"So you either endure it or die." Old Wang blew away the hot air and took a sip of tea. "Everyone has suffered some grievances in life. Why can't you endure grievances?"
Li Chengkong looked up at the sky.
The sky is high, the clouds are sparse, and the sky is clear and blue.
He exhaled a breath of foul air: "Mrs. Wang..."
Old Wang was silent.
Li Chengkong said: "With my talent, I should be able to catch Madam's eye, why is that?"
"It's not about aptitude." Old Wang said, "The Dharma is not passed on lightly. She won't easily accept disciples. She doesn't want to be involved in karma again."
Li Chengkong was excited: "So there is still hope?"
