"You!" Yan Yuqing stared with almond-shaped eyes.
"You don't have to be angry."
Celestial Crane Daoist said calmly, "I know you won't be able to pay it right away, but you can get it on credit. When the work is done, I will go with you Yan Family to get the rest. Ten thousand taels of gold. I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. I can't help you without money."
Yan Yuqing was silent for a while and said, "Give it to him."
Xiao Wei immediately took out a stack of Silver Note.
Celestial Crane Daoist After clicking, he said, "Based on one tael of gold and ten taels of silver, you still owe me 60,000 taels of silver. Please make an IOU."
As he spoke, he reached behind his waist and took out a pen and paper.
Since Yan Yuqing decided to pay, he didn't waste any time and immediately wrote an IOU as Celestial Crane Daoist said.
Celestial Crane Daoist carefully folded the IOU, put it in his arms, and said, "Since the deal has been completed, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
"Then set off immediately!" Yan Yuqing shouted.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Yan Yuqing asked impatiently, suppressing his bad temper.
Celestial Crane Daoist said, "A sharpened sword is a good chopping wood. Since you are going, you must make good preparations. Please tell me the background of this Huo Family, and I will analyze it carefully."
"Okay."
When Yan Yuqing saw that the other party was serious and no longer as shrewd and calculating as before, he nodded and began to introduce Celestial Crane Daoist.
When mentioning Huo Family, we must first mention Jin City Hero Huo Liuyin.
When Huo Family took root in Jin City, few people know. It wasn't until Huo Liuyin came out that Huo Family's reputation suddenly became famous, and it became popular overnight.
It is said that Huo Liuyin is a natural prodigy. Red Light fell on the day he was born. His energy and blood can reach Exorcise Evil and Suppress Calamities. He also has the special effect of suppressing Demon Qi. His martial arts talent is first-class.
He started practicing martial arts formally at the age of twelve. In just one year, he entered Tendon Changing.
Three more years later, I entered Bone Forging.
Fifteen-year-old Bone Forging is a genius no matter where he is. Even some of the top sects in famous mountains and rivers have to compete for him.
However, Huo Liuyin was young, arrogant and arrogant. When he was traveling to visit various major sects, he did something outrageous. He offended a certain master and was directly knocked down. All his skills were wasted and he was left on the roadside to fend for himself.
Fortunately, there is always a road ahead.
He was rescued by a passing rural widow. Under the woman's careful care, he not only recovered, but also gave birth to three sons and two daughters.
And in the blink of an eye, it has been twenty years.
In the past twenty years, Huo Liuyin did not sink into the daily life of raising children. Instead, he learned from the painful experience and relearned martial arts. Not only did his strength recover, but he even improved to a higher level, reaching the peak of Bone Forging.
By the time Huo Liuyin returned to Jin City with his family of six, he was already thirty-five years old. He had grown from the high-spirited, young and frivolous person when he left to a mature, steady, and vicissitudes of middle-aged man...
"You've been crippled and you can still recover your muscles and bones on your own! Isn't that awesome? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Celestial Crane Daoist exclaimed, interrupting Yan Yuqing's words, with a look of doubt on his face, feeling unbelievable.
Yan Yuqing said, "There are so many geniuses in this world, like the crucian carp crossing the river. It is already rare to be famous for a while, but you still want everyone to know it? What an extraordinary person it is to be famous throughout the ages and known all over the world! After Huo Liuyin was abolished, even though his strength was restored, his best years have been missed, his potential has been exhausted, and he cannot go further. He can only return to Jin City to dominate, and naturally it will not be known to anyone."
"That's true."
Celestial Crane Daoist nodded and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was rude for interrupting you."
"It doesn't matter."
Yan Yuqing waved his hand and continued to talk.
After Huo Liuyin returned, he found that everything familiar in Jin City had changed.
The former Huo Family became a wretched rat in the dark, lingering and being bullied by others.
The person who controls Jin City is no longer City Lord, who was appointed by the court on the surface, but Jiang, Yuan, Zhu, Sha Four Great Families secretly.
The origin of this Four Great Families is unknown, and he acts unscrupulously, making the whole Jin City a mess and full of complaints.
Huo Liuyin is very dissatisfied with this and wants to make Huo Family great again.
Four Great Families naturally could not let him do whatever he wanted, so he carried out an assassination operation.
Unfortunately, Huo Liuyin did not die. His wife, youngest son and daughter were killed, and his second son was seriously injured.
"So miserable..."
Celestial Crane Daoist muttered secretly.
Yan Yuqing ignored his muttering and continued, "Huo Liuyin was mad and furious, fighting Four Great Families with Power of Man.
"It is said that Jin City was killed in a river of blood, and at least three-quarters of Four Great Families's people died.
"The four clan leaders were all seriously injured and had no choice but to sue for peace and divide East City into the Huo Family. They then built four more walls at West City as Inner City to prevent Huo Liuyin from coming again after he recovered from his injuries.
"But they thought too much. Huo Liuyin's injuries were far more serious than imagined. It was said that he had to rely on a wheelchair to travel. After that, he stayed at the Huo Family without going out and disappeared from sight.
"However, in this battle, Huo Liuyin became famous. Because Four Great Families defeated all evil, he saved all people from fire and water. Under his governance, Outer City flourished again, so people respected him as Jin City hero.
"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After Huo Liuyin stopped showing up, Huo Family became low-key, and Four Great Families began to slowly test, extending his minions into Outer City, slowly encroaching on the Huo Family's territory.
"To this day, all other areas of the Huo Family have been encroached upon, leaving only this piece of ancestral land belonging to the descendants of the Lineage people, which is the place we are going to investigate on this trip."
Yan Yuqing When I said this, I felt sad in my heart.
Huo Liuyin This person can be regarded as a unique genius.
Unfortunately, it didn't grow up smoothly.
After making a comeback, he was seriously injured and paralyzed in a wheelchair. His wife, son and daughter also died from injuries. It can be said that he had a bad life and he was jealous of his talent.
Although he later did good deeds for Jin City and was respected as the Jin City hero.
However, these are not the reasons for him to do evil!
Yan Yuqing came on this trip not only because of her previous transfer, but also because she had read the files on Jin City and suspected that many of the missing children cases were related to the Huo Family.
It's just that such small cases have little merit, and no one else is willing to investigate. Moreover, many years have passed and many of the victims have died, so there is no point in investigating, so it has been delayed until now.
But Yan Yuqing thinks differently.
At first, she felt that a person like Huo Liuyin would never be willing to leave without a trace like that. This arrogant and peerless genius must have an ulterior side.
Secondly, it is convenient to enter the city this time. If we check and find that there is no problem with Huo Liuyin, we can seek cooperation to jointly deal with Four Great Families.
And if Four Great Families is really captured, it will not only benefit the people in one area, but it will also be a great achievement in Demon Suppression Division.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, Huo Residence is a key point that cannot be bypassed. You must go there, otherwise you will always feel that you have missed something.
"Having said so much, is Huo Liuyin dead or not?" Celestial Crane Daoist asked.
Yan Yuqing said, "I don't know, because he never appeared again, but Huo Residence didn't mourn him, so no one knows whether he is dead or not."
Celestial Crane Daoist asked again, "If he is not dead, how old is he now?"
Yan Yuqing thought for a while and said, "She should be over ninety years old. Bone Forging Realm It is not unusual for him to live to be ninety years old. Inner City Four Great Families The old patriarchs who fought with Huo Liuyin back then are still alive."
"I'm ninety years old, and I was seriously injured and paralyzed before. I'm afraid that my energy and blood have already declined. If I really take action, I probably won't be your opponent. But why do I feel uneasy when I'm close to the Huo Family? You must have some key points that you haven't told me."
Celestial Crane Daoist said, looking at Yan Yuqing with burning eyes.
Yan Yuqing's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and said, "The Daoist Master is indeed an expert. In fact, I did hide something. According to my investigation, Jin City had many cases of missing children in those years, all related to the Huo Family."
Celestial Crane Daoist's face changed slightly and he said solemnly, "How old is the child?"
"They are all two or three years old."
"How many were lost?" Celestial Crane Daoist asked.
Yan Yuqing said, "I'm not sure. The records in the file are all scattered and there are many omissions, but according to my estimation, there should be no less than twenty."
Celestial Crane Daoist listened to the words and pondered for a long time, took out a Compass from his arms, then squeezed a drop of Essence Blood from his fingertips and placed it in the center of Compass, mumbling something.
Buzz buzz!
I saw the pointer in Compass turning crazily and non-stop for a long time.
Seeing this, Celestial Crane Daoist put Compass away again and said, "This trip is still not unlucky and cannot be seen clearly. But it is not easy to find that glimmer of hope, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
Xiao Wei hesitated and said, "Miss, if it's really so dangerous, we'd better not go."
"No! It took a lot of effort to come here and I gave you all the money. Even if you say you don't want to go, the Daoist priest won't agree with it." Yan Yuqing said firmly.
Celestial Crane Daoist nodded heavily. "Xiaoyan still understands me. What goes into my pocket will never be returned!"
"Okay."
Xiao Wei looked helpless.
Dong Shan also secretly shook his head, feeling bitter in his heart.
It would be unlucky for him to work with this serious and energetic boss.
Although the two of them are also Tendon Transformation Realm, they are different from Yan Yuqing, who is born with an extraordinary physique and is at the peak of Tendon Changing. If they are not careful, Yan Yuqing and Celestial Crane Daoist will not die, but their lives will not be so good.
Jin City Hero Huo Liuyin, that is a character who can single-handedly challenge the entire Four Great Families. Even if he doesn't appear now, his power is still there.
I didn't see Four Great Families being so arrogant and cannibalizing Outer City, but he didn't dare to challenge Huo Family head-on.
How could they dare to spy on Huo Residence at night?
"Come on, give me two talismans each. Don't tell Pindao that I won't take care of you and use other people's money to eliminate disasters. Pindao promises that as long as I can still move, everyone can move with me."
Celestial Crane Daoist said, taking out a handful of Yellow Talisman from his arms, and asked each of them to put two talismans on their chest and back.
Xiao Wei and Dong Shan quickly thanked them.
Yan Yuqing waved his hand. "Let's go!"
Hongying Martial Hall.
Hong Zhengdao had already fallen asleep, and Zhang Lingshan opened Panel, his eyes falling on the three words [Red Crane Posture].
'Stat Points.'
He thought to himself.
Wow.
Energy Points disappeared by 1 point.
'So few?'
Zhang Lingshan was surprised.
Red Crane Posture and Primal Chaos Righteous Yang Posture seem to be almost the same. It seems that Primal Chaos Righteous Yang Posture improved quickly at first, not only because of their compatibility, but also because Primal Chaos Righteous Yang Posture's level was not high.
On the other hand, the Wind Stabilizing Posture I got from Wu Zheng is actually a higher level, Entry Level requires 10 points.
But why is Wu Zheng not as powerful as Zhao Hongying and Hong Zhengdao?
Zhang Lingshan thinks the reason is very simple.
Because Wind Stabilizing Posture is too difficult to practice!
Everyone wants good exercises, but not everyone can practice good exercises.
Instead of spending time on hard-to-practice exercises, it is better to practice some of the most basic exercises, and you will be able to grow step by step.
This is why Zhao Hongying and Hong Zhengdao can open martial arts schools, but Wu Zheng can only live in the Skin Grinding Realm as Herb Gathering Guard.
It is never a good thing to aim too high and do not overestimate your own capabilities.
From easy to difficult, step by step, is the right path.
If Zhang Lingshan had not been with Panel, if he wanted to practice Wind Stabilizing Posture, the outcome would not be much better than Wu Zheng.
'Since Red Crane Posture Entry Level only costs 1 point, then adding Perfection is only 1,000 points, so I added it directly.'
Zhang Lingshan's heart moved.
I have accumulated more than 30,000 energy points in the Jiang Family before, but it has been useless.
Because he was worried that the breakthrough in martial arts might attract attention, he added at most all points to the progress bar of Stance Skill fusion, and did not add any other martial arts.
Now that he was out of town, Wu Lian was the only one to supervise him, and he was put to sleep in the next room, so he felt relieved. You're welcome Stat Points.
Wow!
The writing on Panel changed.
[Red Crane Posture, Perfection]
Phew!
A crane cry suddenly sounded in my mind.
Zhang Lingshan saw a flamingo standing on one foot in the water, sometimes jumping, sometimes spreading its wings and flying, sometimes pecking its beak, and then picking up a fish from the river. Its body shape was flexible and changeable. No matter how the fish in the water swam and jumped, they could not escape from his palm.
Whoosh!
The picture suddenly began to shrink into a streak of light, condensed into Zhang Lingshan's mind.
He slowly thought about it in his mind.
Although the physical changes are not big, after all, the strength has been earth-shaking, and the little Red Crane Posture can no longer bring about transformation, but the artistic conception is enough to make him realize that even if he lies still, he feels that his body skills have improved to a certain extent.
However, the biggest change is not this.
Instead, integrate the progress bar!
I saw that after Red Crane Posture there were three more words "fusion", and because of the addition of Red Crane Posture, the progress bar suddenly increased by 10%.
You need to know that it takes 5000 energy points to increase by 10%.
Subtracting the more than 1,000 energy points consumed by Red Crane Posture Perfection, it is equivalent to saving almost 4,000 energy points.
Make big profits.
The key new Stance Skill fusion can also bring more benefits.
The more of this kind of thing, the better.
Zhang Lingshan Forget it if he didn't know. Now that he knew, he was so excited that he couldn't help but wake up Hong Zhengdao and asked, "Master, do you have anything else Stance Skill on hand?"
"Stance Skill?"
Hong Zhengdao seemed to have just woken up, but in fact he was not confused at all. He immediately said, "What do you want the extra Stance Skill for? There is no point in having more of them. They are basically the same."
He sat up and started talking, saying, "You practice too quickly and you really don't understand many things. I will explain them to you today.
"Stance Skill is the basis of a set of exercises. All Stance Skills in the world are composed of Four Foundations of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.
"We, Primal Chaos Righteous Yang Posture, belong to the Earth Fire lineage.
"Your wife's Red Crane Posture belongs to the Feng Shui line.
"You are now proficient in Primal Chaos Righteous Yang Posture and understand Red Crane Posture, which means you have Four Foundations of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind. As long as you practice regularly and slowly understand it, when the time comes, you don't need to learn other Stance Skill, and you can practice other martial arts on your own."
Zhang Lingshan nodded heavily when he heard this. "I see. But Master, do you have any other Stance Skill on hand? I still want to learn from it and understand what Master said about Four Foundations of Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind."
"You kid..."
Hong Zhengdao was helpless and said, "The things in this room are my old things, just that drawer. Yes, there are miscellaneous Stance Skill that I collected in it. There is nothing good. Just take a look at it. Don't waste too much time."
"Okay, thank you Master."
Zhang Lingshan was so happy that he immediately read it at night by candlelight.
I saw Taiyi Posture, Five Elements Posture, Heart Intent Posture, Floating Cloud Posture and so on.
But as Hong Zhengdao said, these things are a mess and incomplete.
In the end, Panel only included the above four books.
Zhang Lingshan added all of them to Perfection without saying anything. Like Red Crane Posture, both spent 1111 points of energy, and the fusion progress bar was increased by 10%.
In addition, the progress bar added before when Jiang Family fought against Illusionary Buddha Sound.
Right now.
The progress bar has suddenly reached the 98% position!
