With the golden finger in the attribute column, sooner or later he will become the world's top master. Liu Mang will never be willing to live to only 70 years old.
"I wonder if practicing external skills to a later level can increase your lifespan?"
"Or should we say, where is the turning point for internal strength?"
…
The second day.
Baishui Hall, in the courtyard.
The red wooden tables were filled with chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, watermelons and grapes, various stir-fried vegetables, and a jar of red wine brewed by Zhangjia Winery on Fugui Street.
The members of the Golden Tiger Gang ate and drank lavishly, some sitting, some standing, and some with one foot on the bench. They punched, gambled and drank, laughed and cursed wantonly, bragged and spanked, and it was so enjoyable.
On a large wooden table in the center, Liu Mang and Niu Cong were sitting at the front door. In addition, there were Qi Quan, Lao Jiu, Ban Yang, Cai Binwen and other key members of Baishui Hall.
In the middle of the table, there was a roasted whole lamb. It was golden brown, fat and oily, steaming hot, and fragrant. This was a treat that had never been seen on other tables.
Niu Cong laughed and said: "Tieniu, the gang leader and I reported our trip to Taicheng yesterday, and the gang leader greatly appreciated you!"
"The reward is two hundred taels of silver and thirty kilograms of pork. In addition, your monthly salary will be increased from one tael to fifteen taels!"
"Hiss!" When the gang members heard this, they all took a breath of cold air.
There have been so many silver rewards before, but the monthly salary has increased fifteen times, which is almost unheard of!
Zhou Jian of Black Water Hall has worked hard for the gang and made many contributions, but he has never heard that monthly money can increase so much.
A few people, such as Qi Quan, Ban Yang, Cai Binwen, etc., take it for granted, and even think that the payment is insufficient.
After all, Liu Mang actually killed a stone-skin-level hall master by himself, and his combat power was astonishing.
If he is willing to join another gang now, he can at least be promoted to the position of holding the flag. However, rebelling against a gang is a taboo, and Liu Mang will not do so easily.
Liu Mang was not concerned about this: "Master Niu, the Tiger Fist I talked about yesterday..."
When Niu Cong heard this, he slapped the table angrily: "I mentioned it to the gang leader, and there should have been no problem. I didn't expect that the stupid guys in Heishui Hall kept obstructing you because you were too junior!"
When Liu Mang heard this, his eyes narrowed and his heart was filled with anger.
Wasn't it the same person who beat up the people from Heishui Hall last time? Are you so cautious?
Seeing that Liu Mang's face was not good, Niu Cong laughed and started to draw a pie: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, you will learn the Tiger Fist sooner or later!"
After saying that, he stood up and said: "This time I was escorted again, but fortunately Tieniu turned the tide. I'll give you a toast first!"
After saying that, he held the porcelain bowl and drank all the wine in it.
Liu Mang also stood up: "Master Niu made a serious statement. Since I have joined the Golden Tiger Gang, it is my duty to share the gang's worries."
After saying that, he picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Others, such as Qi Quan, Lao Jiu and others, also toasted to Liu Mang. Liu Mang accepted everyone who came and drank bowl after bowl.
Not to mention, people at other tables also came over one by one carrying bowls and wine jars, shouting "Brother Tieniu" and "Brother Mang". Even though Liu Mang had an amazing amount of alcohol, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Looking at the enthusiastic faces that kept coming up, I secretly complained in my heart.
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked in from outside the door, bypassed everyone, came to Niu Cong, and whispered something in his ear.
"Okay! We finally caught the traitor!" Niu Cong said with a ferocious look on his face, "So many brothers died this time, I will kill him with a thousand knives!"
After speaking out, Niu Cong clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "This time, we were so passive because a traitor leaked the secret. But the traitor has been caught now! Brothers, what do you think?
What to do?”
"Cut him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill his whole family!"
The public sentiment is raging and everyone is angry. If you are in a gang, the one you hate most is a traitor.
Niu Cong waved his hand: "The traitor has been escorted to the main helm. Tieniu and I will go there, and you can continue to eat."
After saying that, he only took Liu Mang with him, got on the carriage, and rushed to the headquarters of the Golden Tiger Gang.
On the carriage, Liu Mang and Niu Cong were chatting.
"Tieniu, the hall master said that you have made great contributions this time. No one lives in the house of the original village head of Liuhe Village anymore. He plans to reward you. What do you think?"
Liuhe Village is a village within the sphere of influence of the Jinhu Gang, not far from Liujia Village. Moreover, the village chief's house is usually built of red bricks, which is considered a top match in the outer city. The leader of Baishui Hall spared no effort to win over Liu Mang.
Liu Mang was not polite and accepted after saying thank you twice. Niu Cong expressed that he was very satisfied with Liu Mang's reaction. If you don't accept the reward from the court, he will doubt what your intentions are. After all, there is a price for rebelling.
It's big, but it's relatively easy to change the entrance.
"Tieniu, you are seventeen this year. Have you ever had a matchmaker?"
"The fifth session of the Golden Tiger Gang hasn't started yet, so I don't dare to get married." Liu Mang hurriedly found an excuse to stop him, for fear that Niu Cong would mess up the relationship.
Niu Cong was obviously choked by Liu Mang's reason, and laughed dryly: "Tieniu is indeed loyal to our gang."
The two chatted for a while, and Niu Cong pretended to be casual and asked, "I heard that you once had a martial arts master as your teacher."
When Liu Mang heard this, he became vigilant and replied truthfully: "So that Mr. Niu will know that although the senior taught me a swordsmanship, he said that I was old and my bones were already fixed, so he never accepted me as his wife."
division."
During the last battle in Taicheng, anyone who was not blind could see that Liu Mang's swordsmanship was extraordinary, and Liu Mang didn't bother to cover it up.
"Oh?" Niu Cong was a little disappointed when he heard this, "Then he probably didn't teach you any internal skills."
"I'm also very sorry, but the seniors said that those who can pass on the internal strength in the sect are those who have been trained in the sect since childhood."
"Humph, they are all the same as expected! They are just from the same clan! They are stuck in their own ways!" Niu Cong may have been hit in a sore spot, and he cursed angrily.
"Is there no internal strength in the gang?" Liu Mang asked.
"Hey, internal strength is the core treasure of a sect. If you are lucky, you might encounter external strength. We also have external strength in our gang, but internal strength is absolutely impossible!"
"Those martial arts sects take good care of their internal skills far beyond your imagination. More than ten years ago, a disciple of the Ice Soul Sect defected to the Shengtian Gang, which was the largest gang in the outer city at the time. As a result, the Ice Soul Sect had no eyes for them.
, in order to prevent the spread of the law within the sect, kill all the hundreds of people from the Shengtian Gang!" Niu Cong said angrily, which made Liu Mang feel chilled in his heart.
"Those of us who are leading art masters, even those sects will not accept us. They have trained so many boys since they were young. They are not afraid of the inheritance declining, but they are afraid that the skills will be spread to others."
Hearing this, Liu Mang asked: "I heard that if you practice both internal and external skills to the end, you can stand alone in the martial arts world. Why do everyone pay so much attention to internal skills alone?"
