Probably because of the south, early summer in this world is very hot. Yamasaki arranged things every day, so he stopped making rounds and sat in the medical center practicing medicine.
One day, a bearded man came to see a doctor.
Yamazaki felt something was wrong as soon as he took a pulse, and then he recognized him. He was the evil thief who gave Gold Leaf.
However, Yamazaki didn't expose it. He bluntly said that the meridians were injured during the practice, and now a lot of internal energy cannot be recovered and is jumping around in the body.
"Yes, there is a way to get better quickly. I still have to work."
"There is no other way. I can only help you return your inner Qi to its proper place, and the rest is to slowly warm it up."
"That's okay, that's okay, thank you, little doctor."
"I have something to do now. Come to my house again in the evening. Do you know me?"
"We know each other, then I'll go over tonight."
"Okay, you can go, the next one will come."
…
In the evening, the evil thief comes to visit.
Yamazaki helped him guide his energy back to his original state, and then let him go.
He didn't say anything from beginning to end, but before leaving the house, he asked first.
"Little doctor, don't you think my technique is different from what you taught me?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Aren't you surprised by my skills?"
"Your basic skills belong to wind, and later you switch to skills that belong to wood. Wind and wood are in conflict with each other, so it's normal for problems to occur."
"No, what I mean is, I haven't practiced the exercises you taught me, so why do you want to heal me?"
"Since you are from this city, isn't it normal for me to treat you?"
"I see. Anyway, thank you very much."
"You're welcome, please."
…
The weather suddenly turned hot enough to make people sweat, and Shandai was enthusiastic about making ice and making iced sour plum soup.
If you have high martial arts skills, you are good.
Yamazaki shook his head. His qualifications were indeed a problem, and he couldn't get up any faster even if he wanted to.
It needs a little warming and a little increase.
Fortunately, the innate Qi is very effective, otherwise no matter how hard he works in this life, no matter what techniques are given to him, he may not be able to gather even a dozen of internal Qi.
Now, there is hope.
…
On the other side, Hancheng, a mansion by the river.
The government led a large army to surround the house, saying that they wanted to capture key collaborators, not only here, but also all the properties of the Shan family.
Jiang Feiping, Chang Xiu, and Lady Dong greeted him respectfully, saying that the head of the family was not here and that they, women, were ignorant of everything and allowed the government to arrest people at will.
The officials were not casual and seemed very polite.
However, they were very ruthless and captured many people, including their relatives and family members, and these people were all doing business abroad.
After the government left, many people came to Jiang Feiping for help, hoping that Jiang Feiping could plead for mercy.
Jiang Feiping asked them to wait and see, then let them ridicule and abuse her, and ignored them.
…
On that day, the government army controlled the entire territory of Hancheng and searched and arrested anyone inside and outside Hancheng. Anyone who resisted was killed without mercy.
The Jianghu gangs were bulldozed by the Iron Crossbows. The Qingyun Sect, the number one gang in the southeast, or the Feixiang Gang, a top-notch force, faced the massive Steel Crossbows. They all had no choice but to be strangled.
Local officials, businessmen, and Jianghu people, under the guidance of spies, arrested a total of thousands of collaborators, including hundreds of thousands of family members.
They were all not interrogated, but were pushed to the riverside outside the city and killed all that night.
The government used the blood of the river to tell everyone inside and outside Hancheng, and the whole world.
If you collaborate with the enemy, your entire clan will die without mercy!
…
Hancheng was indeed frightened, and he realized deeply that the government's intentions were unambiguous in this matter of competing for the world.
There was no sound from the Jiang family. They now understood that the government had shown mercy to them, otherwise they would have been implicated to death by their friends.
The Xiao family and others, who had been hesitating whether to go home for a visit, also firmly chose to stay.
These days, what kind of money does it cost? It’s life-threatening!
…
Jiang Feiping held a meeting, and everyone found that more than half of the people sitting here on the first day of the new year were dead, and they were all walking outside.
Although many of them were not directly involved and were just implicated, they all received money.
Regarding this point, the spies who broke into the caravan convoy all had solid evidence.
And those present here are also deeply saddened that their companions died not in the fight to protect the Shan family, but in the greed of making extra money.
After Jiang Feiping waited for everyone to express their feelings, she announced that the business would continue and she would not hire anyone.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and all the expressions in their eyes meant the same thing, that I didn't want to do it anymore.
Jiang Feiping was amused, "Do you want to stop? First let's see what the contract with the military says. Delaying military aircraft is also a capital offense."
"Madam, those contracts were not written by us."
"Do you think the military will talk to you about this? You didn't object at the beginning, and you can't object now."
"You just have to do it, and you have to do it well, otherwise the corpses by the river will be your example. This is really not to scare you."
Everyone's faces were pale, and they thought for a year that they had been tricked to death by those brothers.
…
On the other side, Soaring Snake City.
One summer passed, and big changes took place in the city.
That is martial arts. Everyone's martial arts value has generally improved. Some ten-year-old children have third-rate strength and have entered the acquired sixth grade.
Those who have a solid foundation and are diligent in practicing martial arts become top masters and enter the acquired third level.
There is also a young man who has entered Xiantian, but he doesn't know it. He thinks that he is only a first-class person and a fifth-level person after tomorrow.
The evil thief had nothing to do all day long, wandering around the city. When he saw these changes, his eyes almost dropped.
Who is this? This kind of unique skill that can advance into the innate world is being spread all over the streets and cities!
With this approach, within ten years, there will be innate masters all over the city, and maybe a few innate masters will emerge. How will the various factions survive!
…
The evil thief recovered from his injuries and considered looking for Yamazaki again.
This time I brought martial arts secrets with me and asked Yamazaki for details.
Since he has even passed on his unique skills, it proves that he is very powerful.
If you really don't believe it, just run. Anyway, the injury has healed, and you think no one can catch him if you run.
The fact that he was so seriously injured was not entirely due to a breakdown in his training, but more likely because he kept running away and couldn't use his inner energy, so that he couldn't use it in the end.
Fortunately, he had a full beard at that time, took off his brocade clothes and pretended to be a beggar, so he managed to get away with it.
…
Yamazaki has no feelings about the evil thief coming back.
When I saw the martial arts secret book he took out, I didn't feel much at all, although I knew it might be Master Cangsong's Qi training manual.
He flipped it over and handed it back to him.
"This skill belongs to wood, so it's not suitable for you to practice."
"No, are you done with it?"
"The technique is practiced by people. This technique is too extreme for ordinary people. It is only suitable for people who are born with strong wood energy. Simply put, they are people who are born to be intoxicated after a thousand cups. Practice until the end..."
"How about it?"
"Like wood."
"Ah?" The evil thief was startled, because the real Cangsong was sitting in his cave like a piece of wood.
Yamazaki didn't want to stay with this guy any longer, "Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, go back and rest early."
