Li Muchan followed the armored soldiers to a courtyard.
The gatehouse of this compound is huge, and it is obviously the house of a wealthy family. Outside the wall, there is a dense row of armored soldiers, standing motionless with their guns in hand, like iron statues, exuding a formidable aura.
Li Muchan raised his head and looked at it. There were three big characters written on the plaque: "Minglu Hall".
These three words were newly written, with a strong atmosphere, filled with the aura of a warrior and an iron horse, which made people shudder and shocked their hearts.
Li Sima looked at him with a smile and let Li Muchan look up.
After a while, Li Sima said: "Little master, I have wronged you. Go and stay inside for a while, and then we will deal with it after you report it to the captain."
"Yes, thank you Sima." Li Muchan performed a military salute.
Li Sima smiled and said: "Little master, after you go in, you will inevitably be wronged. Just bear it and it will be over. Don't go hard with them. If they fight, you won't be able to get away with it."
"Yes, thank you Sima for the reminder." Li Muchan nodded.
He could hear Li Sima sighing. He entered Minglu Hall and wanted to come out safe and sound. It was extremely difficult. Either his arm or his leg would be broken.
"Bah!" A cloaked guard stepped forward to knock on the door.
A small hole in the door opened, one eye looked out, and then the door was opened. Two big men stood at the door and said respectfully: "Li Sima!"
"Well, he is a new criminal. Send him in." Li Sima waved his hand and said casually.
"Yes." The two strong men replied respectfully. They stepped out and searched Li Muchan's body. They found a curved dagger, looked at it, put it away, and said in a deep voice: "Go in, stay well, don't
Make trouble, otherwise, the crime will be increased!"
Li Muchan did not resist, saluted Li Sima, turned around and entered the courtyard.
The courtyard was quiet with no sound at all. Two strong men respectfully sent Li Sima off and then took him into a room.
The room was very wide. From east to west, it was completely a big kang. There were more than a dozen big men lying on it. Their feet smelled terrible. Li Muchan frowned and then let go. As if nothing had happened, he had come and settled down.
A big man said: "You can just live here!...What have you done?"
"Kill someone." Li Muchan said.
"...Uh, good, just lie down!" The big man's face changed slightly, he pointed to the kang, and said loudly: "Give way, there are not many people, and it takes up a lot of space, are you looking for death?"
A dozen big men on the kang moved inside to make room, and Li Muchan sat down.
"Okay, go to bed quickly!" the two big men shouted, turned and left.
The weather has turned cold, but there are no beddings here, only a big kang and a mat, with more than a dozen big men lying on them, some even shirtless.
Li Muchan glanced at them and saw that they were all strong and full of energy.
As soon as he lay down, a big man next to him whispered: "Whose gang are you from? Who is the captain?"
"Zhao Shengli." Li Muchan smiled.
"It's Zhao Tietou." The big man yelled, shook his head and said, "This guy is overbearing and overbearing. It's bad luck under his hands."
The big man had a square face and a kind expression. Li Muchan smiled.
"What did you say you committed just now?" the big man asked again, but he didn't hear clearly just now.
Li Muchan said: "Kill people."
"Good boy, kill someone!" The big man stuck out his tongue and looked at Li Muchan: "You are not a monk, why did you become a soldier?"
Li Muchan smiled: "Being a soldier is also a practice."
"That can also kill people?" the big man asked again.
Li Muchan nodded, took the clothes next to him, swept the mat, and lay down.
"Little monk, how many people have you killed?" another big man asked.
"Six." Li Muchan said.
"Good boy, six of them!" The big man next to him exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Li Muchan lay on his back, resting his arms on his pillow and said, "It's nothing."
When he didn't say anything, a big man sneered and said, "Young monk, are you bragging?"
People echoed: "Six, you killed six, and you are still fine, not hurt at all?"
Li Muchan smiled, turned his head and turned his back to them, thinking about his own thoughts.
Seeing that he ignored him, everyone couldn't figure out what was true. They didn't dare to do anything for a while. They murmured a few times and slowly lay down to sleep, and the quietness returned to the room.
Li Muchan was lying on the kang, thinking about the gains and losses. It was not wrong to kill someone this time. He had already thought about it. It would be better to solve it as soon as possible to avoid being plotted on the battlefield in the future.
He had already understood the military law in advance. This situation was considered self-defense. If he hurt someone, it would be fine. If he killed someone, he would have passed. But the crime would not lead to death, so he would only receive a small punishment.
The key is those four people. Their words are extremely important. They killed Yue Feihu first and they were the first to do it, and he was exempted from a large part of the punishment.
No matter what dynasty we are in, the laws are similar.
At a small cost, it eliminates future troubles and establishes prestige. It kills two birds with one stone. It couldn't be better.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, everyone was still sleeping, snoring and thundering, and they were in a good mood.
He got up and got off the kang and walked out of the house. He found a large courtyard with a rockery in the middle and flower beds to the east and west, but the flowers had faded.
At this time, there were more than a dozen big men practicing martial arts. Some stood motionless, while others danced their fists, whistling in the wind, showing extraordinary power.
Li Muchan glanced at them and didn't recognize their martial arts.
He found a corner and began to practice the Flying Bear Palm Technique. He quickly entered the state. As he moved, waves of heat traveled through his body, feeling indescribably comfortable and moisturizing his flesh and blood.
The Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill has reached the fifth level, and its power is the same as before. He is no longer afraid of ordinary swords and spears. However, the soldiers around him are all trained, strong and powerful. The swords and spears they use are more powerful. He does not dare to use them.
Test yourself.
Amid the lingering heat, he continued practicing until breakfast.
During breakfast, two big men carried two large buckets of food, each of them had a large bowl of rice and two vegetables. The food was no different from the food outside.
Li Muchan went into the house, ate together, and then found another place to practice the Flying Bear Palm Technique.
He likes the feeling when practicing Qigong, like bathing in hot springs, which is very intoxicating.
However, practicing this Kung Fu makes you tired very easily and consumes a lot of your body. No wonder you have to practice the first level of martial arts first and have a strong body before you can afford it.
If it were Li Baolu and the others who practiced the Flying Bear Palm Technique, they would have to fall down from exhaustion after just one practice.
Li Muchan has a strong body, tempered by the indestructible divine power of the Vajra, his internal organs are strong, and his Qi pulse is long, far superior to others. Even after practicing all morning, he is only a little tired.
He found that the more tired the body, the better the effect of practice. However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the movements must be accurate and not out of shape.
If it's just a little bit out of shape, there will be no effect immediately. A slight difference can be a huge mistake. When the head teacher taught this skill, he had strict requirements on the movements. This is the reason.
Therefore, there are many people who are determined to work hard and want to practice hard and make great strides, but often they are unable to do so, their body is tired, and no matter how strong their mind is, they cannot make their movements as accurate as before.
In this way, practicing forcefully will only achieve half the result with twice the result, and it is better to rest than to rest. Therefore, it is not easy to surpass others and stand out.
Li Muchan has an advantage in practicing the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility. Ordinary people can only practice it for one hour a day, but he can practice it continuously for three or four hours, or even longer. The progress will naturally be different.
The sun quickly moved away from the sky, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. Li Muchan stopped flying bear paws, walked slowly in the courtyard, familiarized himself with the terrain, and observed everyone carefully.
There are about fifty people in this courtyard. They are all strong and strong, and they have evil aura about them. They are obviously not new soldiers.
Li Muchan thought, more than a month has passed, and the recruitment is about to end. There are no more recruits in the Xiaoqi Battalion except himself. Is it because the standards of the Xiaoqi Battalion are high, or because there are few people joining the army?
It must be the former. After all, joining the army is a shortcut to getting ahead and gaining glory and wealth. The status of soldiers is extremely high, and the rewards for victory are also generous, which is a great temptation for young people.
As he walked, he observed the surroundings. Most of the people were living together. They were living in peace, without fighting, and they looked very peaceful.
But he could feel that there was a depressing atmosphere surrounding him.
He walked to the rockery, followed the path next to it, and wanted to turn to the back of the mountain to have a look. Three people stood in front of him, blocking his way.
The person in charge is in his thirties, not tall, chubby, short in stature, with a big square face, sword-shaped eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. Logically speaking, he can be said to have a good-looking appearance, but he has a certain aura about him.
Evil spirit, violent and cruel eyes.
There were two people standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left had an oval face, a thin figure, and small eyes, staring at Li Muchan.
The other man was tall and burly, with a long face and a simple and honest look. He was smiling at Li Muchan with a friendly look on his face.
Li Muchan stopped and looked at the three of them without saying anything.
The three of them also looked at him and said nothing. People around him glanced over secretly and quickly turned away, pretending not to see anything or know anything.
The three of them stared at Li Muchan, who looked at the man in charge calmly.
As time goes by, the air seems to gradually solidify.
Li Muchan looked at ease, calm and motionless, even showing a faint smile, looking down upon their tactics and shaking his head.
The man in charge looked at him sideways and raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you the new little monk?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Exactly, I haven't asked the three noble names yet."
"I'm so brave!" The big man waved his hand and said impatiently: "Whether you know my name or not, it doesn't make any difference. In other words, you know the new rules, right?"
Li Muchan was startled and smiled: "What are the rules?"
Xiong Sihai coughed and said proudly: "First call me brother, and then pour tea and water to serve you!"
Li Muchan laughed and shook his head.
"Why, you don't want to abide by the rules?" Xiong Sihai's eyebrows tightened, and they gathered together. His expression suddenly became fierce and cruel, and he stared at him coldly: "Do you know the consequences of not abiding by the rules?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Besides this, what other rules are there?"
Xiong Sihai chuckled and said: "Once you are a big brother, you will always be a big brother. In the days to come, you must be at my disposal whenever I call you!"
Li Muchan looked around and said with a smile: "Then they all obey the rules?"
"Not bad!" Xiong Sihai nodded proudly.
Li Muchan shook his head: "I don't believe it."
The skinny man's small eyes widened with a fierce glare: "Hey, little monk, who are you? Believe it or not, it is serious to abide by the rules!"
"Brother, teach him a lesson first!" He turned around and said.
Xiong Sihai waved his hand: "Courtesy first, then attack! Courtesy first, then attack! How did I teach you? You are just a rough person!... Get out of the way!"
The thin man stepped aside angrily and stood behind him.
"Little monk, you don't want to abide by the rules, do you?" Xiong Sihai looked at him lazily, touched his nose, and smiled on his face.
Li Muchan thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it."
"Okay! Okay!" Xiong Sihai twisted his body, twisted his neck, pinched his knuckles, and hummed: "How long do you want to think about it?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Just two days!"
"Boy, you are playing tricks on us!" the skinny man scolded, his little eyes gleaming fiercely.
Li Muchan smiled: "I think things are slow, it does take two days."
The honest man looked him up and down, thoughtfully, then suddenly turned around and said, "Brother, I'll just go with him and talk about it in two days, how about that?"
"Hmm... that's fine." Xiong Sihai held his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Since you are a monk and a member of the Buddhist sect, I will give you two days of grace!"
Li Muchan smiled: "Thank you very much."
"Hmph, you have to think clearly! ... Let's go!" Xiong Sihai turned around and walked away with a proud step like a bastard. The thin man glared at him and then turned around.
Li Muchan watched them leave, thoughtfully. The three of them were all masters. They must have practiced second-level martial arts. Otherwise, the people in the courtyard would not be kind and would not tolerate their tyranny.
He could see that everyone in the courtyard was afraid of these three people. Obviously what they said was true, and everyone had to call him big brother.
He shook his head and sighed, human nature is like this, rivers and lakes are everywhere, even in this Minglu Hall, everyone is waiting to be punished, and they have to distinguish themselves.
He walked slowly around and came to a secluded place. This was a corner, blocked by a rockery, and few people could see it.
He was going to continue practicing flying bear paws, but now that he didn't have a spear, he couldn't practice spears, and he didn't have a long sword, so he couldn't practice swordsmanship. The only thing he could practice was flying bear paws.
"Hush! Hush!" Suddenly a big man came in, pointed in front of his lips, and kept shushing.
Li Muchan looked at him and smiled silently.
I recognized him as a man from the neighboring shop. He was lying on a big kang in his bed last night, sounding like thunder and sleeping so soundly that it was enviable.
The big man lay down next to the rockery, looked left and right, came over and whispered: "Little monk, you are in for a big disaster!"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows with a questioning look.
The big man continued: "Brother Xiong is giving everyone an order to deal with you!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "How to deal with me?"
The big man lowered his voice and said: "There are many ways, all kinds of ways! ... For example, you want to go to the latrine, right? I won't let you go!"
"Why can't we go?" Li Muchan said with a smile.
The big man curled his lips and said: "Humph, someone is occupying it. Can you go?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "There will always be free time, right?"
The big man shook his head: "No!... Everyone will line up, right next to each other, there will be no gaps, so you will have no chance to go!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "There has to be someone who comes first, first served. How about I wait outside?"
The big man said angrily: "Humph, others won't tell you first come, first served. If you want to go in, you will be beaten!"
"...Have you ever experienced this?" Li Muchan looked at him and asked with a smile.
The big man's face turned red and he glared at him angrily.
Li Muchan said hurriedly: "I'm just guessing. After all, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow!"
"Humph, you guessed it right!" The big man stared at him for a while, then suddenly sighed, like a ball deflating, and said listlessly: "I suffered a lot back then and was peeing. Someone pushed me and I fell in!"
Li Muchan grinned, and the hairs on his body stood up.
He was surprised that since he had no friendship at all, he took the risk to report the news. It was really abnormal. If so, he must be resentful.
"Yeah, I'll pay attention." Li Muchan nodded.
The big man sighed: "In my opinion, you should just keep your head down. There is no way to guard against him. Everyone recognizes him as the big brother and helps plot against you."
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "I'll give it a try."
"You..., well--, okay!" The big man glanced around secretly and jumped out.
Li Muchan was thoughtful, shook his head and smiled after a moment, and continued practicing the Flying Bear Palm Technique.
After a short rest, he regained all his strength and was once again immersed in the warm breath. He never tired of it and practiced the flying bear paws over and over again.
Every time he practices Flying Bear Palm, his inner Qi becomes deeper and deeper. Although the growth is weak, his inner vision is clear, his senses are keen, and he can detect it.
Although the increase was small, as long as it increased, it would give him endless motivation. He was eager to know what would happen next as his internal strength deepened.
Besides, practicing is a kind of enjoyment in itself, and he can't wait to stop.
Unknowingly, evening came, the door creaked, and two strong men came in carrying wooden buckets. The aroma of the food wafted out, and they shouted: "dinner is ready!"
People went into the house one after another, took bowls out, and lined up to receive their meals.
Li Muchan took his own bowl, looked at it, and felt it had a strange smell, so he went to the well to get a bucket of water, washed the dishes, and faintly noticed that people were laughing secretly.
Li Muchan sighed, knowing that they were causing trouble. He suddenly noticed that a man in the crowd was hunched over and looked sluggish. He was the big man who had tipped him off.
The big man glanced at him and immediately turned away, pretending not to recognize him. Li Muchan sighed secretly, pretended not to see him, stood up and stood at the end of the queue.
A big man turned to look at him with a mocking expression.
Li Muchan pretended not to see it, and laughed secretly, finding it interesting. This situation can be said to be besieged on all sides. Whether he can survive it is really a challenge.
Finally it was his turn, with two spoons of vegetables and one spoon of rice. Li Muchan thanked the two of them and wanted to find a place to eat quietly.
As he walked, he looked around and saw that there were a few big men fighting in the courtyard and they had already finished their meal.
They were making a fuss and unknowingly approached Li Muchan. When Li Muchan turned around, two big men suddenly chased him in and rushed towards Li Muchan.
Li Muchan ducked and barely avoided it. He frowned and saw that the two big men had already run away.
He shook his head. They came for his bowl and wanted to knock his rice away.
This move is cruel enough. In today's martial arts training, food is very important to replenish physical energy. The food in the army is excellent. Even in Minglu Hall, the food is still the same as outside.
In the past, when the internal energy was strong, it didn't matter if I didn't eat for three or two days with the Tianyuan Breathing Technique, but now it's not possible. It consumes a lot of energy and has no energy to support it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other big men. They slowly moved away from him.
Li Muchan found a place to calm down and eat. Suddenly, dust flew over, and a big man was sweeping the floor upwind.
Li Muchan couldn't help but smile, and moved to another place. As a result, several people caught a dead rat, with bloody flesh, and were throwing it around, laughing.
Li Muchan smiled slightly, glanced at it, and ate as usual, and it was delicious.
He poured the food into his stomach in three strokes, and then went to wash the dishes, knowing in his heart that even if he did, it would be useless, someone would always get them dirty.
When he was practicing, no one disturbed him.
It was getting late at night, and the lights in the courtyard were brightly lit. The two strong men who were looking after everyone shouted to go to bed and go back to the house. They were not allowed to stay outside. Li Muchan slowly returned to the house.
When he returned to the house, he was startled for a moment. The big man on the kang was gone and replaced by another person.
The big man had a cakey face, was dirty all over, disheveled hair, and his feet smelled bad. When he saw Li Muchan come in, he raised his head and smiled at him, which was very friendly.
Li Muchan nodded, closed his sense of smell and refused to smell the smell, and said calmly: "Where is that person?"
"He, he changed houses and joined his eldest brother." The big man with a cake face chuckled, with a look of disdain on his face.
Li Muchan glanced at him lightly, said nothing more, and fell asleep directly.
The big man stopped talking and soon started to fight vigorously.
The next morning, while eating, Li Muchan saw the big man again, with dark circles under his eyes, a tired look, and a wilted head, like an eggplant beaten by frost, following Xiong Sihai with a respectful expression.
Li Muchan frowned, guessing that he hadn't slept all night.
Li Muchan, who was at the end of the queue and had a meal, slowly walked up to Xiong Sihai and the other two men with a bowl in his hand, looked at him with a smile, and glanced at the sluggish big man.
Li Muchan understood that Xiong Sihai deliberately brought the big man around to anger him.
