Lu Sheng didn't feel that his skill had become deeper or more abundant. He just felt that the inner energy in his body seemed to have undergone some unknown changes.
This change made his body feel a little hot, his skin and scalp felt a little itchy, and he seemed to be starting to grow hair.
"According to senior brother, once you step into Tianyuan, the human body will enter a new stage of development. Maybe my hair will grow back by then." Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have a bald head for the rest of his life.
"However, it seems that the internal strength after the breakthrough has some additional lines of the Blood Evil Gong...and some of the enhanced hard qigong feel of the Jiujiang Tiesuo Gong."
He carefully realized the difference from before.
"I don't know if I have broken through the original realm. As for the new technique, since it combines the characteristics of the Blood Evil Technique and the Jiujiang Iron Suo Technique, let's call it Chiji Jiusha Technique."
He settled on a name in his mind and saw the name of the new technique slowly appearing in the box on the modifier.
"Let's test it first. After spending so much effort and waiting for so long, there won't be just a little improvement."
Lu Sheng adjusted his breath and slowly stood up.
"The best way to avoid being discovered and to thoroughly test the limits of my current strength is to find an opponent."
Lu Sheng tried hard to recall where he could find a place and an opponent that would allow him to test his strength.
In the entire Northland, the strongest master is senior brother Hong Mingzi, and the others are only ranked second. The rest are stronger ghosts and weirdness. But ghosts and weirdness are easily discovered by Hongfang and the Zhen family.
"Perhaps we can go find Li Shunxi. He is well-informed and should be able to find a suitable choice. There is also Zhuo Wenyu. As a non-human being, he should know some ghosts or monsters in this area." Lu Sheng thought for a while and decided.
Go find Li Shunxi first. Zhuo Wenyu is an outlier after all, and he is not as easy to deceive as Li Shunxi. If she sees that he wants to test his strength, he will be in trouble.
Completely exposing the details to outsiders is the most dangerous approach.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. Revealing your true identity means letting people know your enemy effortlessly. Such people will die the fastest in this environment.
Lu Sheng did it as soon as he thought of it. He tidied up and looked at the sky outside. It was already afternoon and almost nightfall.
He asked his men to lead the horse out, mounted it and went straight to Yanshan City.
After entering the city through the gate, he followed the address left by Li Shunxi and soon found Li Shunxi, who was very drunk in a wine shop next to where he lived.
This guy was sitting alone in the corner, his face was pale, and there was a puddle of vomit beside him, which made the surrounding guests afraid to sit near him. The clothes on his body had not been washed for many days. As soon as Lu Sheng came closer, he smelled something bad.
Sour taste.
"Drink...drink...isn't it just money...I'll give it to you later!" Li Shunxi sat on the chair drunkenly, holding a small flask in his hand and putting it in his mouth from time to time.
He only drank half of the wine and poured half of it, and a lot of it leaked on his clothes and neck.
Lu Sheng frowned and looked at him, strode over and sat down opposite him.
"Sir, please see if you can pick up your friend... How can we do business easily if he's like this..." Seeing Lu Sheng sit down, the shopkeeper felt relieved and hurried over with a grimace to talk to him.
Lu Sheng discussed.
This drunkard has been here for three days, and he was given enough money, but he drank too much wine, and he was afraid of getting into trouble. Moreover, there was dirt and vomit everywhere around the table, and even the waiter had to clean it up for him countless times.
.has affected other people.
Seeing that this young man, a scholar, obviously doesn't know how to drink, he drinks until he vomits, but he still keeps pouring it into his mouth.
"Leave it to me." Lu Sheng nodded.
He reached out and grabbed the wine bottle in Li Shunxi's hand, ripped it off and placed it on the table.
"Brother Li, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk!" Li Shunxi chuckled twice. "Hey, isn't this...brother Lu...how...why are you here?" He spoke intermittently and incoherently, but still
Said he was not drunk.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to talk." Lu Sheng thought for a while, "Let's just go to the nearby Woad Restaurant. I haven't seen Brother Li for a long time and I miss him very much, so I came to have a look."
He grabbed Li Shunxi and lifted him up like a chicken.
"Let's go, Brother Li, go wash up first. I still have something I want to ask you."
"Wine! I want to drink more!!"
Lu Sheng ignored him and carried the man directly out of the wine shop and into the nearby Woad Restaurant under the astonished and astonished gazes of everyone.
This restaurant is actually a property in his name. It originally belonged to Wu San, but now that Wu San is dead, it becomes his. This kind of property belongs to the public property of the gang and can be divided into dividends, managed, or enjoy other benefits.
, but it cannot be transferred or sold.
The two opened a private room, and immediately people from the Red Whale Gang Feiyingtang were sent to guard the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
He pushed Li Shunxi to the seat and sat down, and Lu Sheng also sat opposite him.
"Brother Li, what happened? How did you become so decadent!?" Lu Sheng asked in confusion.
Look at Li Shunxi now. Compared with the handsome young man with a face like a crown jewel, he is just a beggar.
However, he is indeed no different from a beggar now. His hair is messy, his eyes are red, his body is as thin as a stick, and he has not had a good rest for an unknown period of time. There are gray sweat marks everywhere on his arms, neck and face.
"Want a drink~~?" Li Shunxi raised her glass to Lu Sheng with a drunken look and smiled.
"Brother Li, what happened? There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. If you are in trouble, tell me, and maybe I can help you." Lu Sheng felt that Li Shunxi had certain investment value and was a good person.
That's okay. If it's an easy task, it doesn't hurt if he helps out a little bit.
After hearing this, Li Shunxi woke up a little and lay on the table, mumbling and falling asleep.
"Brother Lu...you can't help me...no one can help me..." He looked miserable, sitting on his seat, drinking tea instead of wine, and drank one cup after another.
Lu Sheng looked at the clothes on his body.
"But something happened at home?" He remembered that Li Shunxi told him about it. His family was a high-ranking official in the court. But now he is like this, and he has no family to take care of him. This kind of situation is either for
He was hurt by love, or by accidents in his family.
Li Shunxi trembled all over and looked up at him blankly.
"My father...is dead..."
Lu Sheng was stunned. He held a water glass in his hand and frowned.
Li Shunxi seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, and said with a sad smile.
"You are also here to arrest me, right? Hahaha, even the person closest to me, the woman I have loved deeply for so long, would actually drugged the wine. Is there anything in this world that can't happen...?
"
After drinking a few glasses of cold water, he seemed to be more awake and spoke more clearly.
"Something happened to your family?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"Yes...my father was framed and executed by Wu Shi Wen a while ago...My home was also sealed off. Everyone in the family fled and dispersed. I was the only one left who escaped.
A disaster..." Li Shunxi said sadly. "Brother Lu, if you want to arrest me and report me to the official, please do so, I don't want to hide anymore, I'm tired... I'm tired..."
Lu Sheng frowned and looked at him.
"If I arrest you and report you to the government, what good will it do to me? Money? Just the reward from the government? It's not enough. Power? I am now the third leader of the Red Whale Gang, and I am a big figure in this mountain city.
Brother Li, don't give up on yourself easily. I'm not looking for you to report to the official.
There has been a change in your family, and we are half friends. If you need help if you ask, I will try my best to help. But I have a small condition."
Li Shunxi was a little dazed. He and Lu Sheng just met by chance. They were strangers who met by chance in Songjiazhuang. They only chatted together once. In fact, they were not even friends. The other party was not tempted to arrest him and report him to the police.
"You...are you really not here to arrest me and send me to the official position?!" He still couldn't believe it. "You have to know that the person my father offended was the minister of the Ministry of War, a first-rank official!"
"I don't care what rank he is, it's none of my business! Come on, don't waste time. I'm looking for you to buy some information about any troublesome and famous ghosts, weirdos, or demons nearby." Lu Sheng
Speak out your needs directly. Although there is a Red Whale Gang, Li Shunxi obviously knows more about this thing.
When it comes to ghosts and the like, the Red Whale Gang is more responsible for supervision and monitoring, while Li Shunxi has real contact.
"Huh??" Li Shunxi was stunned, "You...really don't want to report to the government?"
"It's not good for me to report to the police. Why should I arrest you?" Lu Sheng said angrily. "I sympathize with the changes in your family, but as long as you are still alive, you will have a chance to kill you sooner or later. Why are you crying?"
!”
Li Shunxi looked at him blankly, a little stunned. The things and betrayals he experienced in these days could almost fill an entire historical novel.
There are brothers and friends who used to be brothers, childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and girls who love each other so much that they were engaged to each other.
He experienced betrayal again and again, experienced despair again and again, escaped from death several times, and the arrow in his back still made his heart ache to this day. If the master had not left him something to save his life,
I'm afraid his bones are almost finished rotting now.
He secretly escaped all the way to Yanshan City. He was even desperate. He gave up on himself and didn't care about anything. He just wanted to get drunk and die in a wine shop. But he didn't expect that he met Lu Sheng, whom he had met once before.
What made him even more unexpected was that this stranger, who had only met him once, had no intention of reporting him to the official. You must know that he was now exhausted, extremely weak, and drunk to the point of being weak. If he really wanted to report himself,
Officer, now is the best time, just grab him and go directly to the Yamen, where there are posters for wanting him.
But Lu Sheng didn't do that. Instead, he said if there was anything he could do to help, just ask.
