Chapter 30: Sword Domain Dragon Movement
"He suddenly disappeared the night before last. Commander Zou mobilized a lot of people to look for him. He was only found this morning on the riverbank outside the city." Chen Ju couldn't hide his smile as he spoke. "His hands and feet were broken and thrown into the river. Fortunately, he ran into a fishing net and was fished out. It is said that he has not woken up yet."
Liang Yue laughed and said, "These fishermen are catching things they shouldn't be catching."
He had been worried that Zou Huainan would take revenge because of the conflict, but now, the other party got his comeuppance first.
"Old Hu learned this news when he went to the South City General Office for a meeting today. He also said that the list of the regular guards who have been promoted to regular positions has been released, and you and Dachun are on it." Chen Ju said, "As long as you two pass the martial arts assessment next month, you can officially become regular guards."
"Hehe." Pang Chun grinned: "Ayue and I will definitely be fine."
Liang Yue thought so too. Lao Hu had said before that the assessment was just a formality to screen out those who were really powerless. Normally, a Yudu Guard could pass with a peak level of the first realm, but now he could even reach the peak of the second realm.
The three kids were walking and chatting when they suddenly heard shouting and fighting in an alley.
"Go and take a look." Liang Yue held the scabbard in his left hand and turned to enter the alley.
When I walked deeper into the alley and turned a corner, I saw several scoundrels surrounding a young man on the ground and beating him with their fists and kicks.
"Stop!" Liang Yue shouted immediately upon seeing this.
"Imperial Capital Guards!" When the men saw someone coming, they immediately turned around and tried to escape to the other side, but Pang Chun's iron tower-like figure suddenly appeared.
Bang bang.
Pang Chun picked up the two leading men, one in each hand, by the face. The remaining two men raised their fists and feet, trying to attack him.
But there were two more slapping sounds, and the two men punched and kicked Pang Chun, and in the blink of an eye they fell to the ground, covering their hands and feet, and cried out in pain: "Ouch..."
Pang Chun's eyes were also a little dazed. He looked at the two people lying on the ground with innocent eyes, then looked at Liang Yue and Chen Ju, his expression as if he had been scammed.
"Get up!" Chen Ju came over and shouted, "Stop pretending!"
"Not pretending..." The man with the injured arm was still able to stand up, but the man who kicked Pang Chun could no longer stand up. He howled, "This officer's body is as hard as iron!"
Chen Ju glanced at Pang Chun, poked him with his hand, and found that Pang Chun's muscles were really hard. There was a hint of envy in his eyes.
Liang Yue had already come to the beaten young man and asked, "How is it?"
"It's okay." The young man stood up. Apart from some scratches on his head and face, he seemed to be fine.
He was quite tall, with messy long hair, a square face, narrow eyes, and a heroic yet somewhat cold look.
"He said it's okay, let us go, officer!" A man who was held down by Pang Chun shouted, "We are from the Yihu Gang!"
"Why should I care what you are helping?" Chen Ju said unhappily, "It's not okay to come to Fukangfang to cause trouble!"
They knew the name of the Yihu Gang, but they didn't care about it at all.
There are many poor people in the South City, and there are also many low-class gangs. They usually make a living by running some private prostitution, gambling houses, or collecting protection fees from shops.
The only reason this kind of gang can exist is that it is inconvenient for the Imperial Guards to directly collect bribes from the people and shops.
After these small gangs have made money, they will pay part or even most of their income to the leader of the Imperial Guards in their district to complete the transfer of benefits, and the other party will provide them with protection. As long as they don't cause any major trouble, they can continue to exist in the shadows.
However, Hu Tiehan of Fukangfang did not do these things, and the gangs did not dare to come here to cause trouble. This so-called Yihu Gang was the fastest growing small gang in South City in recent years, but it was only powerful in other areas and had no face in Fukangfang.
"Officer, we're not causing any trouble." The young man who was beaten suddenly spoke up and said, "We were just joking."
"Yes!" Several men immediately said upon hearing the voice, "We were just joking with him."
"Okay." Liang Yue nodded and said, "Then let's go."
With that, he let the ruffians go. They had just been showing off their power, but now, even the injured and disabled were walking away, supporting each other.
After they walked away, Liang Yue caught up with the young man who left alone and said, "Wait a moment."
"Huh?" The young man turned around and looked at Liang Yue in confusion.
"You may be afraid of their retaliation if you testify in person. It doesn't matter. If they have any behavior of oppressing the good, just tell us." Liang Yue said seriously: "The Yihu Gang is nothing."
The young man looked at Liang Yue with a subtle look in his eyes. He paused before saying, "Really not."
After saying that, he turned and left again.
The other party seemed to think that he was meddling in other people's business, and Liang Yue couldn't intervene any further. He could only watch him leave, but he vaguely felt that something was strange.
After everyone left, he turned to Pang Chun and said, "Dachun, you've practiced the Iron Cotton Jacket quite well. Judging from the looks of those people, your skin and flesh are as hard as those at the early stage of the Casting Armor Realm." "I haven't practiced it either." Pang Chun wondered, "I fall asleep every time I look at that secret book."
"That's strange." Chen Ju stroked his chin in thought.
Pang Chun chuckled and said, "Maybe it's from eating sweet potatoes."
……
The next morning, when Liang Yue arrived at the station, he saw Chen Ju holding his stomach and looking uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Liang Yue asked.
"I saw Dachun's performance yesterday and thought eating sweet potatoes could really make the meat tougher, so I ate more." Chen Ju said in pain, "Who knew that eating too much of that stuff would make me so burnt."
"Heh." Liang Yue laughed: "Do you think it's effective?"
"It's useless. That stuff is soft and watery. The more you eat it, the softer it gets. It also makes you fart." Chen Ju said angrily.
Judging from his expression, he must have had a very unpleasant experience. Sometimes, people and names are really the opposite.
Liang Yue saw through his thoughts and advised: "I advise you to find a regular doctor."
"What are you talking about..." Chen Ju blushed and left embarrassedly.
Just as he finished speaking, Liang Yue suddenly saw a white paper crane in the sky, flapping its wings like a butterfly and flying all the way to his front.
Looking at this mysterious scene, he instantly thought of Wen Yifan.
Only the disciples of Xuanmen have such means.
Sure enough, after he took the paper crane and opened it, he saw a line of words written inside: "Come to the alley outside the station."
The handwriting is thin and clear, and you can tell the person's shadow at a glance.
He stood up calmly, walked out of the station, and came to the alley outside, where he saw Miss Wen in white. She was standing on the gray ground, like a white epiphyllum blooming on a high mountain.
The reason why it's so mysterious is probably because of his consideration. It's also a good thing if people don't find out that Liang Yue has too many connections with the Zhuxie Division.
"I got you a book on the physical skills you requested yesterday." Miss Wen never talked nonsense. She directly took out a thin book with six big words written on it.
"Sword Domain Dragon Body Movement?" Liang Yue's eyes lit up.
"We in the Xuanmen practice the Qi-refining techniques, which you cannot use. This was obtained from a senior uncle in our sect who practiced martial arts near the Divine Capital. You required a higher level. This should be considered the world's top-level body movement secrets, but the rhyme of the Tao is extremely difficult to comprehend." Wen Yifan said again.
"It doesn't matter!" Liang Yue said indifferently: "I'll just work harder."
He now has absolute confidence in his comprehension. It doesn't matter if it's difficult, high grade and strong power are the most important. No matter how complicated the Tao rhyme is, it only takes a little more time to comprehend it.
Wen Yifan said again: "This uncle is currently looking for a successor. If you can comprehend this body technique within three months, I can recommend you to him and let you become a registered disciple."
"Really?" Liang Yue was delighted.
What level of person must be able to be Wen Yifan’s uncle?
All of them are powerful in the Xuanmen!
What you can learn from him is definitely more than being Lao Hu's father.
Not to mention what you can actually learn, the status is also different. Although the registered disciples cannot be compared with the official successors, it also means that you have a master, and you can use the name of Xuanmen when you go out.
No, it’s not considered borrowing, if that was the case, I would be an orthodox member of the Xuanmen sect!
As expected, there are benefits to hanging out with a rich woman. The connections and resources she gives you are more than enough for you to use up.
For a moment, Liang Yue's heart was pounding.
However, he quickly suppressed his joy, tried to calm down, and said to Wen Yifan seriously: "Thank you, Miss Wen, I will definitely practice with all my strength!"
Wen Yifan hesitated a little, but actually wanted to remind him... You don't have to be too excited. Even if you have the opportunity to become a disciple of that uncle, it may not be a good thing...
But seeing how happy he was, and thinking that the hope of this matter was slim after all, she didn't say it in the end, but just nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Good morning.
