Seeing that Mu Qingxue was going to take a test on himself, Shen Lang didn't hide his clumsiness, opened up his posture, and started fighting.
Although he was only playing training routines, every move he made could produce a short and crisp sound. Occasionally, there was even a phenomenon of "muscles and bones roaring together", which proved that his cultivation level had indeed reached the eighth level.
Quality, and small success.
Mu Qingxue nodded repeatedly. After he finished practicing his boxing skills, he asked again:
"Although you haven't practiced actual killing moves yet, you have practiced basic swordsmanship, right? Let me take a look at it."
So Shen Lang went back to the house to get the long sword, and began to practice swordsmanship meticulously.
Mu Qingxue frowned slightly after seeing him pull off two moves.
Without it, Shen Lang's swordsmanship is too...well, too upright.
Every move is so standard. Compared with the move chart of the basic swordsmanship of "Ten Steps and One Kill", it can be said that it is not bad at all.
However, when the sword moves turn and connect, there is always a rigid feeling that is not flexible and smooth.
That feeling...
It's like a copy master who can copy the master's paintings exactly, but has no own characteristics and no sparkle of spirituality.
"Could it be that Shen Lang's understanding is all about training? He is not very spiritual in martial arts? But having said that, after all, he has been practicing martial arts for too short a time and is laying the foundation. It is not an exaggeration to follow the rules... Even if he really
There is no spirituality in the technique. In the future, if you develop internal strength and true energy, you can also rely on your strength to overwhelm others..."
After thinking about this, Mu Qingxue immediately asked:
"Would you like to follow me to Fucheng? After I finish handling the affairs of Yingzhou, I will take you to the capital and enter the Shenhua Hall to practice advanced martial arts."
Although Shen Lang's identity and origins have not yet been found out, after Mu Qingxue returned to Fucheng, he had already read through the sea arrest documents issued by the Ministry of Punishment and found no wanted criminal suspected of being Shen Lang.
In addition, when we first met him, there were no traces of martial arts, Taoism, witchcraft, or evil magic on his body. He was just gifted with quickness, and his skin, body shape, and conversational temperament were like those of a scholar who had never worked hard.
Mu Qingxue was already inclined to think that Shen Lang might have come from a well-to-do family and had been reading and writing since he was a child.
As for where his home is and why it appears in the barren mountains, it still needs to be investigated slowly in the future.
But as long as he's not a wanted criminal or a cultist, given Shen Lang's talent in martial arts, everything is easy to negotiate.
Besides, he has now suffered from "lost soul syndrome" and has completely forgotten his past.
In this case, no matter who he was in the past, he will be able to guide him well in the future, lead him on the right path, and add another capable person to the Shen Cat Hall.
Mu Qingxue deliberately guided Shen Lang and even gave him a hand so that he would not waste his time and talent.
Shen Lang has long thought that there are experts who can recognize talents with a keen eye, take a fancy to his own talents, and invest in himself.
And the "master" in his mind was obviously Mu Qingxue, a fellow cat lover and the only great master he knew.
Therefore, after hearing Mu Qingxue's words, Shen Lang immediately clasped his fists in thanksgiving without hesitation:
"Thank you Master Mu for your appreciation. I am willing to practice with you!"
Mu Qingxue nodded:
"Okay. But you don't have to thank me too much. If you practice with me, you will be in trouble and danger. Just don't regret it in the future."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"It is a blessing for me to follow Master Muda in cultivation. How can I regret it?"
Mu Qingxue acted decisively and did not say too much nonsense. She asked him to pack her bags and then go with her to the county government office. After meeting with the county magistrate, she could set off on the road - Shen Lang was still a temporary government servant and had not yet become a regular official.
If you want to be transferred, of course you don't need to go through any troublesome procedures, just saying it is enough.
Most of Shen Lang's belongings were placed in the Dianjingbi space, and there was nothing to pack. He just packed a small package, packed a few changes of clothes, put his long sword on his back and two gun holsters, and followed Mu Qing.
The snow is out.
Xiaogu and Xiaoyu were naturally put into some fine pen space. The rabbit demon Xiaoya was carried in a small bamboo cage. As for Xiao Zhao...
From the moment she picked up Xiao Zhao, Mu Qingxue never put him down.
Mr. Mu happily petted the kitten all the way and took Shen Lang into the county government office, where he was warmly received by the county magistrate.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, the wise Lord of the county immediately praised Shen Lang repeatedly, saying that he was diligent and honest, witty and brave, and hated evil as much as he hated evil...
Although there are no specific examples to cite, it is just because Shen Lang joined the company too short and did not have time to perform. But the quality is beyond doubt and is well-known by everyone.
Today, Mr. Mu is going to take Xiao Shen away. Even though this county is reluctant to let go, it is not willing to delay the future of such a young talent. We specially offer ten silver dollars as a gift...
The county magistrate's praise made even Shen Lang blush a bit when he heard it -
After Zhao Mengshan was executed, he remained unshakable every day, skipping work and going home to practice martial arts at noon. I really don't know how the county magistrate could praise him for his "diligence" without conscience.
However, he honestly accepted all the other compliments.
Well, Cheng Yi didn't refuse the ten-dollar offer because he was short of money.
After meeting the county magistrate, Shen Lang met Zhu Hu, Lao Zhao and other policemen who were familiar with each other, and the government officials reluctantly said goodbye.
Zhu Hu patted his shoulder and smiled:
"Brother, I have known for a long time that your future lies in Yingzhou and the capital. Now it seems that I, brother, also have a keen eye for talents!"
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Brother Zhu is really discerning. Thanks to Brother Zhu's reminder, I didn't waste money to buy a house in Changsheng County. However, half a year's rent has been paid in advance, but I don't dare to delay Mr. Mu's schedule. I really don't have the time to find the landlord for a refund.
house……"
He handed a bunch of keys to Zhu Hu:
"My little brother has tidied up the yard and the house. If Brother Zhu wants to live in it, he will stay there for the rest of the time. If he doesn't want to live in, he will find the landlord to check out the house. For the rent returned, Brother Zhu and all of you, please
My brother-in-law is having a drink."
Zhu Hu took the key, smiled and said a few words, and together with Lao Zhao and others, he clasped his fists and blessed Shen Lang:
"Brother Shen, I'm going to Yingzhou now. I wish you a bright future and good progress!"
After saying goodbye, Shen Lang carried the package, sword, musket and rabbit cage and left the Yamen with Mu Qingxue.
Before leaving, he had several more silver coins with him. It was Cheng Yi who was given to him by Zhu Hu, Lao Zhao and other yamen colleagues.
In addition, from beginning to end, no one mentioned the assassination of Zhao Mengshan to Mu Qingxue.
I'm really embarrassed to say this. Zhao Mengshan's evil deeds are well known in the county. But when Mu Qingxue came to Changsheng County to wipe out Wangjiazhuang, out of fear of the Duke of Ying, no one in the county government
People dare to report to her.
Now that Zhao Mengshan is dead, the eucalyptus has matured, and the official documents have been sent to the capital, there is no need to add extraneous matters to avoid making Mu Qingxue feel bad about the county government.
No one else would say it, certainly not Shen Lang himself.
Otherwise, if Mu Qingxue's interest is aroused, wouldn't "professional killer" Shen be asking for trouble?
Little did he know that Mrs. Zhao, who had already connected with the Blood Shadow Sect, was currently in the Zhao Mansion. On the surface, she was attending the funeral for her brother, but secretly she was preparing to sacrifice to the evil god and pray for enlightenment.
If Mu Qingxue knew about Zhao Mengshan's assassination, became interested in it, and went to Zhao's house to investigate in person, the results would definitely be very interesting.
It's a pity that Shen Lang didn't even know about Mrs. Zhao's low-key visit to the city, so he missed an opportunity.
After leaving the city gate, Shen Lang looked back at the county town. Just as he was lamenting that he was about to leave this small town where he had only stayed for a short time, but which had left him with unforgettable memories and even achieved his first kill in his life, Mu Qingxue suddenly said:
"Around noon, we have to catch up with the Fucheng police team. Now run with me!"
After saying that, he tapped his toes lightly, and the person flew out lightly. He was nearly ten meters away in one step.
As she flew by, the thick cloak on her body, which covered her from neck to ankle, did not move at all, not even the corners of her clothes fluttered. I really don't know how heavy this black cloak is.
When Shen Lang saw this, he didn't hesitate, took big steps, and started running after him.
