A group of men and women wearing different clothes, but all looking extremely tough and unique in appearance, huddled together and cursed each other.
There were some casual people in the corner who had nothing to do with themselves, staring coldly at both sides of the argument. There was also an old man who tried to break up the fight, but after being slapped, he also joined the fighting group.
Lu Sheng sat in the corner, eating the fine wine and delicacies provided by Mei Mansion, while looking at the few people who had already exchanged hands with each other in the middle of the room, as if they were watching a sideshow.
He was wearing a long navy blue coat, his hair was neatly combed, and he carried a single sword on his back. He looked like an ordinary Jianghu person.
But the two people sitting at his table looked completely different from him.
One is a woman, and the other is a huge fat man who is nearly two meters tall but almost 1.5 meters in width.
The woman was almost half standing, half sitting, leaning on the table as she devoured the food on top. She could finish a large bowl of food in just a few bites.
Just by sitting at the table, with his body blocking the light, this fat man made everyone around him feel like they were avoiding snakes and scorpions. The most bizarre thing was that this fat woman kept crying while eating.
"Master, I really can't eat anymore," she cried bitterly.
"It doesn't matter, my stomach won't explode again." Lu Sheng showed a gentle smile.
Hearing this, the fat man cried even more sadly.
The other person sitting next to her was a pitiful man with skinny bones and bulging eyes like a frog.
This man was wearing the smallest black robe, but it was like a cloak, almost wrapping his whole body in it.
This man had heavy bags and dark circles under his eyes, and it looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.
If anyone from the Zhang family saw him, they would probably not be able to recognize him. This person was Zhang Zhao, the genius of the Zhang family who grew up in Yushu Linfeng back then.
The fat man before was Bie Feihe, who used to have a hot figure.
The two of them were the two experimental seeds officially selected by Lu Sheng.
Zhang Zhao was experimenting with the Heavenly Magic Technique, while Bie Feihe was experimenting with the basic method of spiritual power. Although it had been started for some time, there were many side effects and sequelae. It was not possible to test it completely at that time, and it needed to be carefully checked.
and subsequent observations.
So Lu Sheng asked Zhang Zhao to practice heavenly magic and Bie Feihe to practice spiritual power.
As for cultivating spiritual power, Feihe's physique was too weak, so Lu Sheng took her to exercise and started a targeted weight gain plan. Spiritual power is actually directly proportional to the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the stronger the spiritual power.
The more powerful it becomes.
So ever since Lu Sheng chose to bid farewell to Feihe, he never treated her as a woman. He would exercise in different ways every day without telling her, and he would also make her eat so much that she would eat so much at one time that she would explode.
Lose.
So Bie Feihe almost always eats with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Zhao, on the other hand, has a different treatment. He can only do two things every time he eats.
First, he could only drink water, and second, he had to watch the flying cranes eat. Lu Sheng would occasionally use spiritual power to kill him during the journey. After a while, the handsome and handsome man turned into the ghostly spirit he is now.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't supplement a large amount of trace elements.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhang Zhao is on the verge of starving to death. Lu Sheng has been treating him like this since he took him from the Zhang family. It may be a form of punishment, but Zhang Zhao is too hungry to think.
He just wants to eat now.
Lu Sheng looked at the two people in front of him and felt quite satisfied. Both of them were practicing with his own training routines, and the results seemed to be good now. "It's almost done. Keep at it for a while, it's almost done."
He glanced at the entire Yingxiang Courtyard, and most of them were just rabble-rousers. Only in another corner sat two strange combinations who acted decisively and cheerfully.
One of the two men was young, dressed in green clothes and looked like an ordinary person, while the other carried a pair of short guns on his back. The red tassels on the guns were slightly blowing in the wind, which further highlighted his strong and smooth figure.
"Everyone, it seems that we don't pay much attention to the Mei family. I heard that in order to find Youjiang, they even made a special trip to find connections with the Jiujiang Gang and entrusted their nearby helmsman Hunjiang Ling Zhao Hun." A rather old man.
The big old man stepped forward to the middle and said loudly.
"If you continue to make noisy and achieve nothing, you will also lose Xiao Youjiang's face. I don't know why you came to save Xiao Youjiang. But I, the old man, couldn't think of it at the time.
, when he was in poverty, he received help from Xiao Youjiang and made a comeback.
If it weren't for Xiao Youjiang, I would have died a long time ago, so no matter what happens today, I will always tell you the truth!"
This old man seemed to have a certain status in everyone's mind, and his words were loud and clear, quickly silencing the restless people around him.
"What Mr. Du said is absolutely true. I don't know how many people Xiaojiang has helped over the years, but there are only so many people who are really willing to come here and dare to come here.
Among the brothers and sisters present, there is no one who came here with the idea of, 'I'll give my life back to Xiao Youjiang in the worst case.' Don't worry, now that you're here, you won't look back." The other person was a middle-aged man. At this time, this man
He also quickly came over and added.
"Yes. Yes, that's true."
"That is, no one here is afraid of death, if not for the favor of Xiao Youjiang."
"If it hadn't been for Xiao Youjiang's life-saving money, my mother would never have been able to see me for the last time."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately burst into praise.
"Now that the Mei family doesn't care about us, why don't we set up a leader to lead everyone, unite all of us together, and at the same time avoid repeated verification of some clues." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Talk freely.
"Leader?" Lu Sheng saw the two people at the other table standing up slowly. When they heard about the leader, they also looked cold.
Lu Sheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at Zhang Zhao, whose eyes were getting brighter and scarier. The weaker the body, the richer and stronger the spirit. This is the rumored spirit of physical worship.
Zhang Zhao used a soul-extrication technique similar to this method. This artificial simulation simulates the environment of the demon for training. Although the effect is actually worse, it can actually cultivate a soul that is most similar to the demon.
"If possible, I know a better way to force out a stronger spirit." The young master of the Zhang family had already seen Lu Sheng's intention and spoke immediately in an attempt to save himself.
But Lu Sheng remained unmoved and continued to use such extreme methods to force him, almost to the point of collapse.
Zhang Zhao tried hard, but after repeated attempts, he and Bie Feihe finally understood that the only way to get rid of Lu Sheng's control was to be obedient. The more obedient Lu Sheng was, the less likely Lu Sheng would be to take the initiative.
you.
After everyone deliberated for a while, they finally came to a conclusion and asked Mr. Du Quanfu, as the leader of the group, to start integrating all the information that everyone knew.
As soon as everyone's position was determined and everyone gathered what they knew, the situation suddenly became brighter. Although these people don't look like much on the outside, snakes have their nests and rats have their holes. Everyone has his own channel. In this way
Putting it all together, we can actually roughly define a range.
Lu Sheng also made an impromptu decision to go with this group of people. He learned from this group of people that due to the large number of hunters in the area and the presence of herb collectors everywhere, almost every inch of the place had been explored.
.
In this situation, there is basically no place to hide.
But there is no secret place, but there is an extremely mysterious force here. This force has not been spread in the world of martial arts and other foreign circles. It only exists in a very small area, echoing among several local ethnic minorities here.
legend.
The name of this force is Youzhai.
The search operation was constantly escalating. With the commander-in-chief's determination and all the intelligence compiled, in just half a day, everyone determined the approximate search range and assigned people to search.
It's a pity that no one could find Mei Youjiang until late at night. They were just sure that some bystanders saw her and a chubby, wealthy man leaving the city one after another.
"It is said that they were seen heading to the northeast."
"Northeast, are you sure?"
"Sure."
""
"I remember there seemed to be a large cornfield in the northeast, right? It belongs to the Li family in the town."
“It’s not that, we have to go to the northeast.”
Everyone was silent. Lu Sheng noticed that most of the people present had ugly faces. It seemed that going further to the northeast was a serious taboo here.
In Yingxiang Courtyard, he saw a few people sitting in the shadows standing up and quietly walking out of the door with firm faces.
"Are you still going?" a voice asked in a low voice.
""
"Don't go, go back and stay with my sister-in-law and the others. We have nothing to worry about. Even if we encounter a secluded house, we will die. It doesn't matter." Someone said calmly.
Lu Sheng was sitting in the corner of this group of people, with the two disciples beside him. Hearing everyone talking in low voices, he could clearly feel a faint sadness gradually spreading along with the silence and whispers.
Among the dozens of people, more than a dozen people quickly stood up one after another, and the rest sat in silence.
Lu Sheng and the others asked someone about the specific situation, and then they realized that the people who got up were all heroes who decided to find someone even if they died.
Those who continued to sit were all those who chose not to go. Lu Sheng was immediately interested. This force called Youzhai actually had such terrifying and intimidating power in this small place.
He took his two apprentices with him, got up, followed another person, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Just as he went out, Lu Sheng took a step forward and gently put his hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him.
"Brother, please take a step to speak." He said in a low voice, "Can you ask, what is the problem in the northeast? Is that the force called You Zhai entrenched there?"
The man who was being spoken to was a short man with a capable and muscular build. He was startled by Lu Sheng's sudden conversation, but when he heard this question, he calmed down.
"It seems that the three brothers are outsiders. In our local area, everyone knows about Youzhai." The man smiled bitterly, "There are often news in that place that someone accidentally broke into the restricted area, and then disappeared without a trace.
No one could be found behind.
There are one or two such rumors almost every year. Even among the people I know, such things happen. The missing people all go to the northeast. After passing through the cornfield, they disappear again.
