After sending Li Shunxi out, Lu Sheng had just turned around and was about to go to the pharmacy when he saw his senior brother Hong Mingzi leading an unknown middle-aged man towards the gang leader's study.
The two of them walked side by side. The middle-aged man had a tall and straight figure and was not very old. But if you look carefully, you can see that his head and temples are gray and his eyes have experienced changes. He is definitely not just thirty or forty years old.
Lu Sheng took the initiative to greet him.
"Senior brother, why do you have time to come to my place? Who is this?" He looked at the middle-aged man.
As soon as this person arrived, he looked at him carefully with a strange look, as if he was seeing a rare treasure.
"This is Wang Yuanshan, the Nine Directions Sword Master, who is also his eldest brother that you heard Elder Wang mention before. The original complete version of the Broken Heart Palm that you have learned is the martial arts passed down by Brother Wang's family." Hong
Mingzi introduced.
"Wang Yuanshan?" Lu Sheng indeed recalled it. Let's talk first."
He welcomed the two of them into the study, closed the door, and asked for tea.
After the three of them sat down, Wang Yuanshan spoke politely.
"When I met Gang Leader Lu today, it really is better to meet him because he is famous. Gang Leader Lu is both internally and externally trained. He is so hard-working and has a strong internal energy. He has reached the point where his body and soul are the same. With this comparison, when I wait for the old guy, I feel like he is living like a dog.
Yes!" His tone was straightforward and seemed literate, but his wording was a bit rough, giving people a weird and awkward feeling.
"Senior Wang, you're very polite. I wonder why you are here, senior?" Lu Sheng said with a smile.
His head has slowly grown out now, and he is no longer as bald as before. Although his muscles are still very strong, he looks like he has regained a lot of his youthful appearance.
"Junior brother." Wang Yuanshan said nothing, but Hong Mingzi spoke first.
He looked around.
Lu Sheng knew what he meant, waved his hand to let him go down, closed the door, and guarded it as before.
Seeing everyone on the left and right go down, Hong Mingzi picked up the tea cup at hand and his face gradually became serious.
"I came here just to ask my junior brother a question. Please be sure to answer me truthfully."
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Senior brother, please tell me."
Hong Mingzi took a sip of tea, gently put down the tea cup, and rubbed his fingers on the edge of the cup.
"May I ask, junior brother, which family does his mother's ancestors come from?"
Lu Sheng's eyes widened slightly, but he was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. The two of them regarded him as a descendant of a noble family.
Before he had time to reply, Hong Mingzi continued.
"To be honest, I have been busy with urgent matters before, so I didn't have time to ask, but ever since I saw you, junior brother, defeating the ghosts in the Red Square, I had a suspicion in my mind." Hong Mingzi said solemnly: "Ordinary gang members may not know this.
The key trick is to believe that ghosts are ghosts and cannot be defeated. But those of us who have come into contact with people from aristocratic families still understand the difference.
The gap between ghosts and weirdness is so huge that it is unimaginable. Junior Brother can defeat the deputy boss of Hongfang head-on, so there is no doubt about his strength."
"The most important thing is that with such strength, if you really look at the entire Northland, you can't find anyone else, not even in the Central Plains." Wang Yuanshan, the master of Jiufang Sword, also interjected and said in a deep voice.
Lu Sheng immediately understood the purpose of the two people's visit. No wonder the middle and senior leaders of the gang, including Chen Ying, had a more respectful attitude towards him. It turned out that they mistakenly thought that he was also from a noble family.
Just like the swordsman who was pulled by Xiao Hongye to test him before, it is not that there are no remaining bloodlines of such declining aristocratic families living outside. They are just rare.
Lu Sheng's heart sank for a while, then he raised his head.
"What senior brother asked is actually not important. What is important is whether I can lead the Red Whale Gang and the Red Sun Gate to find a better path."
His answer did not directly affirm yes or no.
But Hong Mingzi and Wang Yuanshan exchanged glances, and both seemed to understand something.
Lu Sheng didn't know what they understood or what they were sure about.
This topic has been discussed. It is a blessing for us to have someone like Junior Brother leading our Red Sun Sect. But there is another question, about how to cultivate and grow the disciples in the sect." Hong Mingzi asked again.
Lu Sheng then remembered that Song Zhenguo, whom he had left in the city like a sheep and had never been in charge of him, had given him a direction for martial arts training and Qingsong's determination to get started, so he no longer took care of him.
Now I don’t know how it will turn out.
"To grow your sect, the key is to recruit disciples and open your mind." Lu Sheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice.
"Open your mind!? This won't work!" Hong Mingzi was startled and quickly stood up to refuse.
"Senior brother, please listen to me first. The method of opening your mind I am talking about is not completely open, but only some of the basics. It is used to screen out the geniuses who have the qualifications that meet the skills of this sect. In this way, you can choose gold from the sand.
Find the best disciple." Lu Sheng had already had this idea.
Anyway, even if the skills he practiced were thrown out completely, no one could surpass him. So he didn't really care about the skills being leaked.
As long as he has Yin Qi, he can be countless times faster than others and achieve martial arts in an instant.
"That's not okay! The martial arts are the essence of the sect's ancestors who worked hard and put in countless efforts to create them. To leak them casually is a great disrespect to the ancestors. Junior brother, you should think of his method." Hong Mingzi was completely uncompromising in this regard.
.
After Lu Sheng talked for a while, he still couldn't convince him, so he had to give up. According to the original method of selecting disciples, first observing the character and personality, and then testing the qualifications, this process was too inefficient and it was impossible to strengthen the Scarlet Sun Sect.
Hong Mingzi and the other two got the answer they wanted, and soon got up and left in disappointment. Now that they knew that Lu Sheng was a bloodline of the aristocratic family, the reason why the deputy boss of Hongfang was able to fight against the Ju level should be because the bloodline's force of restraint resisted the weirdness.
Only when you have a black film can you stand on the same level with the opponent and fight fiercely.
This made Hong Mingzi and the two people who came with hope very disappointed. Although they have been disappointed many times, this time, it seems that there is great hope and possibility. Unfortunately, it is still
Lu Sheng sent the two of them off, sighing in his heart.
"The less people know about the fact that I am an ordinary person, the better, otherwise the aristocratic family will not know how to react."
After taking a short rest, he left the study and went to the pharmacy to get the golden ointment.
As soon as I entered the pharmacy, I saw two of my senior apprentices, Lin Honglian and Yuan Zhong, chatting outside the pharmacy.
"Uncle Master!" As soon as the two of them saw Lu Sheng, they quickly bowed and saluted with respect on their faces.
Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
"Are you here to get medicine too?"
"Yes, I'm here to get the Talisman Pill for Master." Lin Honglian replied in a low voice.
"Fu Zhong Dan?" Lu Sheng was stunned. This is a medicine used to treat extremely serious internal injuries. Although Hong Mingzi was not in good health, he had not fought with anyone. Why would he suddenly need to use this medicine?
He suddenly thought of Wang Yuanshan whom he had just met, and he had a thought in his heart.
"Okay, you go." He waved his hand and strode into the pharmacy.
Lin Honglian and the two stuck out their tongues behind them and trotted away quickly.
After entering the pharmacy and taking the golden ointment, Lu Sheng asked the pharmacist to get some elixirs to help cultivate internal energy. He immediately received a message from Yu Lianzi. The preparations for the ritual ceremony were almost complete. The list was
It has also been delivered.
Lu Sheng directly ordered a small gang meeting to be held to arrange cooperation matters, and then directly asked Duan Meng'an to send the list to Xiao Mansion.
Afterwards, he went back to his room to practice Aquarius Qi.
However, in less than two hours, one of Duan Meng'an's subordinates hurried back and received the news of Duan Meng'an's death.
"Dead?!!"
When Lu Sheng heard the message outside the door, his eyes suddenly opened, and the inner energy in his body suddenly leaked out, causing the gauze curtain of the bed next to him to puff and turn yellow.
"What's going on!?" He said with a gloomy face. Although Duan Meng'an was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he had always worked diligently for him. Lu Sheng also picked up more easy and easy things for him to do. This trip was just to go
Why did he suddenly die after sending a letter?
He has been in power of the Red Whale Gang for a short time now. Duan Meng'an is his crony, and he represents his face while walking outside. Suddenly he died for no reason. This is a slap in his face. If it is not handled well, who will be willing to do it for him in the future?
His confidant? Work for him sincerely?
"Elder Duan, who went back to the gang leader to deal with it, said he couldn't make a decision, so he asked you to come in person," the gang member outside the door said loudly.
Lu Sheng stood up with a sullen face, changed his clothes and opened the door.
"Come here! Prepare the horses. Ask Elder Chen and Elder Duan to come with me."
"yes!"
The gang members guarding outside quickly went to inform the two elders. These two were Tongyi masters that Lu Sheng had recently selected from the gang. One was good at the hidden weapon of Tiannu Sanhua, and the other was good at double hammers. They were both not too old.
A master who dares to challenge.
Carrying two machetes and putting on a suit of iron armor that he had just ordered, Lu Sheng got on his horse and headed straight for Yanshan City with two elders and a dozen gang leaders' personal guards.
Without stopping all the way, he went straight to Xiao Mansion.
The streets in the city are empty, and the number of people is much smaller than before. It is no longer the bustling scene it once was.
When they arrived at the Xiao Mansion, a crowd of people had gathered in front of the residence, surrounding the entire Xiao Mansion.
As a local snake, the Red Whale Gang's powerful manpower in the entire Yanshan City is naturally not comparable to that of the Xiao Mansion.
Not far away, there were also city guard generals who held positions in the gang. Although they were not the Feilian Army, the city guards, as an army guarding the city gate, were very powerful. They also had military crossbows and other lethal weapons. Along the mountain city
After all, it is a big city.
In the evening, the Xiao Mansion was surrounded by a large number of people.
Elder Duan stood in front of the door, holding a pair of judge pens with an ugly expression. When he saw Lu Sheng arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and his expression also brightened.
"Gang leader! Not long after brother Meng An went in to report the news, he heard screams. When I arrived, I tried to rush in, but was blocked."
"Oh?" Lu Sheng raised his eyes and looked towards the gate of Xiao Mansion.
The door was slightly open, revealing a gap. Behind the door stood a hunched-over one-eyed old man.
The old man looked calm when facing the huge crowd outside, and still stood in front of the door without raising his eyes.
There were several gangsters outside who were covering their arms as if they were injured, holding long knives and not daring to come forward.
"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Lu Sheng's eyes were cold and he strode towards the door.
Many gangs quickly separated to make way for them.
Lu Sheng put his right palm behind his back, his palm faintly glowing as red as cinnabar, and walked straight towards the old man.
"Oh? It turns out that the current leader of the Red Whale Gang has arrived in person." The hunchbacked old man seemed to sense something and his eyes finally changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Sheng seriously.
"Before I came here, I heard that Gang Leader Lu is invincible in mystical skills and is the number one master in the North. I want to see it today."
"When I beat you to death, I won't want to see you again." Lu Sheng's arms swelled up rapidly, and the power of his heart-breaking palm was stimulated by the inner energy of the Chiji Jiusha Gong, and the inner energy quickly surrounded him.
