Chapter 80 Five Thunder God Machine
As evening approached, the door to the secret vault opened, and Lu Jiaming was the first to come out. His qualifications were the best among the four.
"I finally memorized it..."
Lu Jiaming let out a long sigh and looked up. Cao Jinxing had changed into black casual clothes and was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard drinking.
"You're out? Just in time for the opening of the ghost market."
"Sir, why are you...ah?"
Lu Jiaming suddenly realized something was wrong and walked over to take a closer look: "Sir, you seem to have become a little different... I can't even sense your presence! And your inner strength has completely disappeared..."
"How about it."
Cao Jinxing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's quite convenient to use this martial art to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
"Pretend to be... a pig eating a tiger?"
Lu Jiaming didn't understand for a moment, but then he reacted and laughed, "No, no! You need to wear more ripped clothes and change your face. Dressing like this and looking like this will only attract a tigress who wants to eat you, hahaha!"
“…”
Cao Jinxing didn't expect this kid to say something like this. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "That's enough! You're still making fun of me. Come on, accompany me to the ghost market and ask the Huang family a few questions..."
He stood up and walked out.
Lu Jiaming's eyes lit up, and he followed closely and asked, "Are you finally going to go find my cousin?"
Cao Jinxing took a deep breath: "...I'm looking for Xie An!"
Lu Jiaming said disapprovingly: "Why are you looking for Xie An? My cousin knows everything. I'll let my cousin tell you!"
“…”
Cao Jinxing was too tired to complain and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The two men rode on horseback to the Yuyan Cave in Liyu Mountain.
It's still early.
They are not in a hurry either.
On the way, Cao Jinxing suddenly remembered something and said, "The Huang family is in charge of the Ghost Market now, right?"
“I guess so.”
Lu Jiaming simply said, "The Huang family is the most powerful of the three families. They had been keeping a low profile before and did not want to break the friendship of the three families for two hundred years. As a result, the other two families almost killed my cousin. My uncle got angry and directly led the ghost guards to fight the two families. He settled the feud according to the rules of the martial arts world and abolished the martial arts of 27 people from three generations of the Wu family. He drove them out of the Ghost Market and also abolished the branch of the Chen family. He was at the peak of Tongyou strength, and there were no more than three people in the entire Ghost Market who could fight him. The Chen family did not dare to resist. Although it was not stated explicitly, the Huang family was already the only one in charge of the Ghost Market."
"so smart?"
Cao Jinxing was a little surprised.
"Don't underestimate the Huang family."
Lu Jiaming said: "My cousin has extraordinary talent, but without my uncle's relationship, I am afraid that I can't make an exception for the Medical Immortal who has made up his mind not to teach people medicine for the rest of his life... The Huang family's ancestral land is on Taohua Island, one of the 42 caves of the Nine Islands in the East China Sea..."
Peach Blossoms…
"stop!"
Cao Jinxing quickly stopped talking, turned around, and asked Lu Jiaming seriously: "Did the Huang family have a Huang Yaoshi in their ancestry?"
Lu Jiaming was surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
"I……"
He almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Jinxing held his forehead weakly.
Absolutely amazing!
Lu Jiaming was totally unaware and said with admiration: "Master Huang Yaoshi is well versed in astronomy, geography, the Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams, Qimen Dunjia, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even farmland irrigation, economics and military strategy. He is proficient in everything..."
"Okay, stop talking."
Cao Jinxing thought to himself, I know him better than you do. As expected, this long paragraph of yours was also copied and pasted... You even moved the person in!
Maybe it has been modified into a plus version...
There is simply no bottom line!
"Then why didn't your cousin learn the Huang family's martial arts, but studied medicine instead?"
“She wants to learn it herself.”
Lu Jiaming said meaningfully: "My uncle has only this one daughter, and he has spoiled her since she was a child! If she wants to study medicine, he will send her to study medicine. If she wants to make pills, he will look for pill recipes and treasures all over the world for her. If she likes a man, then..."
"I suddenly feel a little unwell."
Cao Jinxing turned his horse around and walked back without saying anything: "Let's ask someone else about this question."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lu Jiaming patted the horse's back with both hands and laughed so hard that he fell down.
Cao Jinxing reacted, got angry and kicked him hard.
…
The sun sets.
The two came to the Fisheye Cave in Ghost Market.
More than a month has passed, and everything here has changed.
Lu Jiaming holds a high status here, and the ghost guards would call him "Young Master" when they see him, and they would be very respectful when speaking to him.
He was half a host, so Cao Jinxing just followed the host's wishes.
However, Lu Jiaming is very sensible. Although he seems to be having a lot of fun, when it comes to serious matters, he is very considerate of other people's feelings.
He saw that Cao Jinxing only regarded his cousin as a friend, so to avoid embarrassment, he took him to Qingyu Tower instead of going directly to the Huang family.
What he said before was not entirely exaggerated. His uncle really doted on his cousin. He knew that flowers may have feelings , but water may flow without mercy. He was afraid that he would not give adults a good face.
Qingyu Tower.
The shopkeeper Xie An received a message from the ghost guard and was already waiting there.
"I have met you, my Lord."
Xie An clasped his fists and saluted.
"Thank you, Boss. No need to be so polite." Cao Jinxing got straight to the point: "I have a few questions..."
"grown ups."
Before he could finish, there was a sudden low cry. Cao Jinxing looked up and saw Huang Fangling in purple clothes walking in the corridor on the second floor.
Huang Fangling saw the black jade gourd on his waist, smiled , blinked and said, "If you have any questions, it's the same if you ask me."
“…This is too much trouble.”
"No trouble."
"Well, excuse me..."
Xie An and Lu Jiaming disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was no way to avoid disturbing them.
Cao Jinxing went up to the private room on the second floor.
A single man and a single woman being in the same room would be a good opportunity for others to flirt with girls, but Cao Jinxing had no such awareness. He couldn't talk about love with a woman he had only met three times.
They both sat on chairs.
Cao Jinxing went straight to the point: "Is Wu Yunfeng at the Huang family now?"
"No."
Huang Fangling shook his head: "After finding out the whole plan from the insider, my father went to the Wu family to arrest him, but Wu Yunfeng was gone."
"Does anyone else in the Wu family know?"
"They only knew that Wu Yunfeng had obtained the Chen family's Kunlun School swordsmanship secrets and spent a lot of money to train four masters, but they didn't know the plan for the day."
Huang Fangling guessed what he was going to ask, and told him everything directly: "Wu and Chen cooperated with the inner ghost to cover the Di Shu Men's digging of the tunnel. The inner ghost provided the thickness of the stone wall of the underground alchemy room, and the gunpowder master of the Chen family provided the Tianlei Zi and the destruction method. Then Wu Yunfeng sent people to attack. This is the whole process. It is very simple and effective."
Cao Jinxing frowned.
All of this seems normal and has nothing to do with the Wanma Gang. Is it really just a coincidence?
Cao Jinxing: "Wu Yunfeng didn't attack you again?"
Huang Fangling: “No.”
Cao Jinxing: “Strange…”
"grown ups……"
Huang Fangling's eyebrows curved, and she said, "...Do you really want them to attack me again?"
"No."
Cao Jinxing said: "You misunderstood. There may be someone behind them. Logically, they shouldn't give up so easily... However, it is also possible that they are scared by the Huang family leader."
Huang Fangling thought for a moment and said, "What you mean is... there are still people watching me? But they are afraid to show their faces because of my father's martial arts."
Cao Jinxing nodded: "It's just a possibility."
"Let's just assume it is possible." Huang Fangling stood up, his almond eyes full of excitement, and he said eagerly: "We can give it a try !"
Cao Jinxing was stunned: "How to try?" Then he reacted and frowned: "No, it's too dangerous."
Huang Fangling smiled softly: "I believe in you, sir."
"…You are gambling with your life."
Cao Jinxing shook his head and said, "We don't know the enemy's strength yet. If they really attack, I may not be able to protect you."
"Your Excellency underestimates me. I am not powerless."
Huang Fangling said as he took out something from his waist. Cao Jinxing was stunned when he saw it and blurted out, "Fire gun? No, this is... [Five Thunder God Machine] ?!"
