Chapter 77 Yang Xiong: I’ve lost a lot of money!
What the hell?
What's the meaning?
Ge Wanshan didn't understand, but Xu Chong's shock made him feel very useful, "This is a secret weapon, I named it Tan Guang."
"Secret weapon?"
Xu Chong calmed down, looked at the empty main seat and asked, "Is this the name after the martial arts are advanced?"
"That's right."
Ge Wanshan's figure slowly emerged, with a somewhat smug expression on his face. He seemed to be explaining but was actually showing off: "My original intention of creating the Swift Shadow Step was just to better hide myself when performing missions. I never thought that its concept and direction could support the level of secret martial arts."
"This... this is so precious."
Xu Chong struggled for a moment, then gritted his teeth and handed the beads over with both hands, "I don't want to receive gifts without any merit, please take them back."
"Don't be so fussy, man."
Ge Wanshan waved his hand in disbelief, "This is just the Swift Shadow Step, it only contributes 1 point, and it takes time to master Greedy Light, no matter how high your comprehension is."
"That's... okay."
Xu Chong took back the beads and bowed again.
Just now he really wanted to return the Shadow Step to Ge Wanshan, and he was not just pretending.
Because he already knew the three words "Shadow Step".
As long as he knew the name, he could use the formless clothes to change his appearance. He could just go anywhere and find someone to buy it with money.
In that case, no one would know that Xu Chong could do this!
As for whether he could succeed in practicing it, he was not worried... Under the spiritual source, all skills were equal.
"It's a pity that I can't refuse... But it's not too bad. Even if more people know that I have Shadow Step, as long as I keep pretending that I haven't mastered it, I can still conceal the existence of Greedy Light!"
Xu Chong thought so.
"But seriously."
Ge Wanshan spoke again, his tone somewhat regretful, "If one day you can push this martial art to the level of a secondary art, I will be able to die with my eyes closed."
"Paranormal activity?"
Xu Chong was shocked.
It turns out that "Pangshu" is not another name for martial arts, but the name given to martial arts after they have been advanced twice!
In that case, the name "Zhengfa" is given after the technique has been advanced twice?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ge Wanshan gave the answer.
"Well, the Wind-Bending Technique you practiced has been pushed to the level of a secondary technique by the Commander-in-Chief."
"Above the Kung Fu is the True Kung Fu, above the True Kung Fu is the True Kung Fu, above the Kung Fu is the Secret Kung Fu, above the Secret Kung Fu is the Side Kung Fu."
"There are also things above opening the orifices, unblocking the meridians, and unblocking the meridians... Oh, you are not a noble yet."
Ge Wanshan shook his head, sighing, "Sometimes I think that the road ahead is so endless. In one's lifetime, let alone reaching the end, it is unknown whether one can even see the scenery at the end..."
Xu Chong didn't say anything.
He felt a strong sense of powerlessness from Ge Wanshan.
"Oh, I shouldn't tell you this. If you can become the commander-in-chief's last disciple, you will definitely be able to see more scenery than me."
Ge Wanshan laughed and waved his hand: "Go ahead. I can't help you with the Wind-Breaking Hand. If you don't understand anything about the Swift Wind Step, you can ask me."
"yes."
Xu Chong bowed and took his leave.
It didn't take long before he returned to his room.
As soon as he came back, Xu Chong immediately stuck the beads on his forehead.
Just like before, a feeling of coolness appeared and information kept pouring into my mind.
After a while, Xu Chong opened his eyes, looking stunned.
The enemy's dodging and moving around is only a secondary effect of Shadow Step, and its real feature is still to disappear in secret.
And the training method is actually similar to that movie...
At first, they had to rely on visual blind spots and minimize the noise caused by movement to achieve the purpose of hiding.
However, Shadow Step is not just about avoiding one person’s blind spot. If you want to improve, you need to keep increasing the number of people.
I have to say, this is very scientifically based...
But how come when it reaches the secret weapon level, it suddenly becomes mysterious?
Thinking of the scene where Ge Wanshan disappeared, Xu Chong was puzzled.
If we must use science to explain it, it is the deflection of light that creates a visual illusion... This is no longer scientific.
"No...it should be said that the mysterious thing is strength. The idea of applying strength is still very scientific."
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something.
There are many uses of strength.
Circulating through the body, it can enhance physical strength and speed up recovery.
When applied to fists and legs, it can unleash power far beyond that of the physical body.
Martial arts are developed on this basis to create even more miraculous applications.
For example, the wind-breaking hand.
It is to achieve a stronger power increase by adjusting the power output ratio of each acupoint and meridian in the hands, shoulders and back.
The same goes for Shadow Step, except that the strength distribution is changed to the legs and waist and abdomen.
Xu Chong shook his head and didn't think any more about it. He just started practicing Shadow Step indoors.
As the name suggests, the secret of Shadow Step lies in the word "shadow".
Although it is indoors, the good lighting from north to south also creates good conditions for practice indoors. At night, all you need to do is light a few candles.
Just like that, five days passed in a flash.
The end of the year has arrived.
As per past practice, everyone has three days of annual leave.
Those who have homes go back home, and those who don’t go to the city to spend money.
The huge Qianhuzuo suddenly became deserted, with only a dozen cats and kittens left.
Xu Chong did not return to Canglong. Firstly, the time was too short, and secondly, he didn't know what to do if he returned.
However, what he didn't expect was that Yang Xiong also stayed and came to his door.
Knock knock.
"Is Xu Xiaoqi here?"
Yang Xiong called out.
Xu Chong was a little confused.
Although the two have always maintained a subordinate relationship, Yang Xiong has never looked for him once since he came out of the black prison.
Even if we bump into each other, we just pass each other with expressionless faces.
Why did Ge Wanshan come to my house as soon as he left the institute?
Revenge is unlikely, unless Yang Xiong dares to cut himself off from Ge Wanshan.
Out of curiosity, Xu Chong walked over and opened the door.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to cause you any trouble."
Yang Xiong was leaning against the door frame holding two jars of wine, one was open and the other was not.
After saying this, Yang Xiong threw the unopened jar of wine sealed in mud to Xu Chong, then turned and walked towards the generals' platform, drinking as he walked.
Xu Chong took the wine jar and walked over.
"Believe it or not, although I hate you, I don't hate you enough."
When Xu Chong came to him, Yang Xiong gulped down a mouthful of wine without wiping the corner of his mouth, "Those captains said that you did not take advantage of the situation in front of the captain."
"It's not some deep hatred, there's no need."
Xu Chong doesn't care about Tao.
"really……"
Yang Xiong nodded, "But sometimes, let alone a deep hatred, even if it's a loved one or a close friend, you have to take action when the time is right."
"just like me."
"One moment he was hugging an Oiran in a brothel, and the next moment he was leading a team to raid his own home."
"If you want to say they did something wrong, it was nothing more than carrying an unconscious person from the yard to the bed. If you want to say they did nothing wrong, that person was a traitor."
"What can I do?"
"Either you sacrifice your own family for the greater good, or you die together."
"The whole family, including their wives, children and elders, were shot dead by me on the spot."
"There is no other way. If you kill him on the spot, then death is death. If you don't kill him, then life would be worse than death."
Yang Xiong looked a little intoxicated, as if he was drunk.
Xu Chong frowned tightly, feeling that Yang Xiong was very .
Can you just tell this kind of thing to outsiders?
"Anyway, they died, and I received a contribution for arresting the rebels. Later, I successfully passed the assessment and was promoted to the general flag."
"On the whole, it should still be profitable, right?"
"What do you think?"
Yang Xiong turned his head and looked at Xu Chong.
Xu Chong didn't say anything.
"Uh...you don't drink?"
Yang Xiong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the wine jar in Xu Chong's hand. "This Ji Yi Brew is a good thing . After drinking it, your brain will work faster and faster, which will be of great benefit to the practice of martial arts. Who knows, your Feng Zhe Hand will be able to improve further."
"It's not that I don't want to drink, it's that I don't dare to drink."
Xu Chong shook his head. "I don't have the intention to harm others, but I must be on guard against others."
"You're a jerk."
Yang Xiong grinned, turned around and gulped down another sip, "You actually didn't drink it, I'm at a big loss..."
"Um?!"
Xu Chong's heart sank.
Is there really something wrong with this wine?
"The wine is indeed good, and nothing else has been added to it."
Yang Xiong said to himself, "It's just that the faster your brain works, the more you want to talk to someone. You want to say everything, and even a Tongmai warrior can't help it."
"Like what I just told you, and what I'm saying now."
"If I hadn't drunk this wine, I wouldn't have said it... It's too embarrassing."
"If you drink, you will definitely tell me some sad things."
"Well... you're just coming to your senses. I'm afraid you'll cry in front of me."
“Hahahaha! Damn it…”
As he spoke, Yang Xiong cursed in a low voice, as if he was cursing himself.
But he continued drinking.
"Who gave you this wine?"
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.
"Who else could it be? Lord Duan Yuanming."
Yang Xiong's tone was filled with envy and jealousy. "You are so damn lucky, kid. You have such bad talent, but you can win the favor of the Qianhu Lord and the Lord of the Mansion with your Wind-Breaking Hand. Why don't I have such luck as you?"
It’s Duan Yuanming indeed!
Xu Chong's heart sank suddenly.
When he heard that Ultimate Wine was only available in the capital, he already had his doubts.
Now it has been acknowledged by Yang Xiong himself.
What exactly does he want to do?
After a moment's silence, Xu Chong asked, "If Lord Fujun wants to send me wine, why does he need to go through you?"
"Not through me, but through the Lord Qianhu. "
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Originally, it was supposed to be one jar for the captain and one for you. The captain said he didn't need it and let us drink it. He meant for us to laugh it off and forget our grudges... Damn it, I'm really at a loss. I wanted to make you look bad, but I ended up making a fool of myself. I really can't complain."
Passed through Ge Wanshan?
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
If that's the case, the whole thing makes sense.
Duan Yuanming gave wine to Ge Wanshan and asked Ge Wanshan to give a jar to him.
If he were to find someone to tell something after drinking, as long as it involved the cave fragments or Wei Wuxie, the news would definitely be passed back to him.
If not, it doesn’t matter. At least this action can make friends with Ge Wanshan and make friends with myself at the same time.
In general, this is just a casual move without any strong purpose.
The reason why it was Yang Xiong who came to deliver the wine was purely a coincidence.
"My Lord, you have drunk too much. I..."
Xu Chong was about to say goodbye when he was suddenly attracted by a noise and looked over.
The token hanging on Yang Xiong's waist had turned blood red at some point, and it was rising in one direction, as if there was a string tied to it pulling it.
"I'm not drunk. How could I be drunk with just this little bit of wine? I just want to talk."
Yang Xiong sneered, "Zhang Hua has been known as the God of Wine for many years and it has never been taken away from me."
"grown ups."
Xu Chong poked him.
"I said I wasn't drunk, so I wasn't drunk. You..."
"It's not the wine, it's the token. The token of the lord is floating."
Xu Chong interrupted Yang Xiong.
"Floating? What a joke. How can the token float for no reason... Huh?!!"
Halfway through his words, Yang Xiong suddenly froze and lowered his head, "There is a mission!"
"should be."
Xu Chong nodded.
"This force is an urgent call from the Qianhu Lord! Heading to the capital city!"
Yang Xiong seemed to sober up suddenly and tried to leave.
However, he stopped as soon as he raised his leg and looked at Xu Chong suspiciously.
The token on Xu Chong's waist was hanging there quietly, without changing color or rising.
"Damn it! The captain is so good to you..."
Yang Xiong cursed in extreme frustration, then turned and left.
Not only him, but also the dozen or so people who stayed in the Qianhu Office and were promoted, rushed out from their respective floors and quickly went through the gate.
Hundred households, general flag, small flag, lieutenant...
Except for Xu Chong, it seemed that all levels had received an emergency call.
Xu Chong frowned, went back to his room and opened the north window.
More than ten riders with bloody clothes and angry horses galloped out.
In addition, the situation at the garrison was even more exaggerated, with thousands of cavalrymen marching out in a mighty force, and judging from the direction, they were heading in the same direction as the Blood-Clothed Guards, which was the provincial capital.
Outside the south gate of the city, a group of people could be seen standing in the wind from afar. Two of them were wearing scarlet blood robes and the other was wearing dark official uniform.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Ge Wanshan and Duan Yuanming.
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something, and his vigilance disappeared.
Since Duan Yuanming himself is also going to take action, it is not a conspiracy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but a conspiracy against him.
However, the Blood-Clothed Guards were dispatched together with the military garrison and the government office... Could it be that like last time, the Taiping Dao was making some big move?
