8: Intermediate body technique, unexpected joy
A few days later.
somewhere.
Wang Jiang, who Mo Wenxuan and others thought was running away, was now sitting obediently on a chair.
Although there were no injuries on his body, and even his clothes were not torn, his expression was quite haggard, and his brows were full of fear and anxiety.
Crunch~!
The heavy iron door was opened, and a man with a hooked nose, gloomy appearance, and a centipede scar on the corner of his left eye came forward.
When Wang Jiang saw the person coming, he shivered instinctively and subconsciously stood up: "Master Li."
The man looked at Wang Jiang quietly until he broke out in cold sweat and his two legs were fighting, then he asked: "Wang Jiang, why are you running?"
Wang Jiang's Adam's apple twitched, and under the huge pressure, he said in a hoarse voice: "Returning to the helmsman, before Lao Li and the others took action, they came to my door to discuss matters."
"Although the martial arts school was closed at that time and most of the disciples had gone home, there were still servants working in the courtyard, so it was not a secret that Lao Li came to visit."
The man rubbed his fingertips against the armrest and nodded indifferently: "Continue."
"The servant saw the three of them when he came into the house to bring tea."
Wang Jiang's liver trembled nervously and his voice trembled: "If this operation was successful, everything would be harmless, but now it has failed..."
The man raised his eyes and looked him up and down: "Are you afraid that Mo Wenxuan will find you? That's why you ran away with your family overnight?"
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Jiang knelt down on the ground with a bang and said with a tearful tone: "Master Li, I'll kill or cut you all as you please, but my wife, children, and children are innocent, please..."
"Who said I wanted to kill you?"
"I, I..."
Wang Jiang was surprised and happy, but most of all, he was afraid.
He knew very well the nature of Captain Li. If he fell into the hands of this person, sometimes life would be more painful than death.
The man closed his eyes, thought, and said in a deep voice: "This plan is too hasty. What you did is human nature. I can't blame you entirely."
"Thank you, Captain."
Wang Jiang trembled and knelt down, but he knew that the other party had not finished speaking yet, and there must be the word "but" behind him.
"but……."
The man interrupted: "This plan failed because of a butcher named Zuo Chongming, who killed Lao Li and the other three."
"Now that Zuo Chongming has escaped, I ask you to lead people to catch up with him and bring me this kid's head, so that your whole family can be spared."
He bent down and squatted in front of Wang Jiang, looking into his eyes: "Are you willing?"
"Willing, willing..."
Wang Jiang shivered and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
"Let's set off immediately."
The man dropped these words and left here with a puff of sleeves.

Pususu~
The blizzard mixed with ice particles continued to fall.
Even though there are people cleaning the streets all the time, it often doesn't take long for snow to cover the streets again.
"call……"
Zuo Chongming raised his head, stared at the word "peace" in the middle of the city gate, and sighed with relief: "We are finally here."
Even though his strength reached the third level of body tempering, he could travel hundreds of miles in a few days, but he was still worried.
After all, this world is too dangerous. A demon will pop out of nowhere and eat you unreasonably.
Fortunately, he was lucky and had a safe journey.
Zuo Chongming came to Pingan County for three things.
The first is to pick up the slack, the second is to change identities, and the third is to join in the fun and seize opportunities.
Following the place in his memory, he walked through the snow and mud and came to a store called 'Yipin Bookstore'.
The owner of the bookstore is a thin man with a handlebar mustache and he looks polite: "Guest, please come in quickly. What books do you need?"
Right!
Zuo Chongming showed a smile: "I heard from a friend that he sold you a batch of Buddhist scriptures half a year ago?"
The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's true. There are still some of those manuscripts left in the warehouse."
The only value of this thing is to help children from poor families learn to read. After all, literature and history are very expensive.
Zuo Chongming said politely: "Please look for the shopkeeper to see if there is a copy of Master Yuanchi among them."
"Hey, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper didn't doubt his presence, served the tea and hurried to the warehouse.
The guest named him by name, indicating that the manuscript had special significance.
If it could be found out, it would surely make a big deal.
Half an hour of waiting.
The shopkeeper finally found a copy and came over excitedly: "Guest, please take a look and see if it's what you want."
"very good."
Zuo Chongming confirmed that it was the local Tibetan scripture and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper said casually: "Guest, Master Chen came to buy a batch of manuscripts yesterday, and one of the Lotus Sutras was also copied by Master Yuan Chi."
Zuo Chongming didn't expect an unexpected surprise, and asked in surprise: "Are you sure? Did he leave his address?"
The shopkeeper replied: "He is a regular customer. He lives in Xiaowangzhuang, about twenty miles out of the city from the south gate."
He told this news because he wanted the guests to give them a few more copper coins.
After all, life is not easy these days!
"Thank you."
Rubbing the manuscript in his hand, Zuo Chongming suddenly felt relaxed and happy. He handed the shopkeeper ten taels of silver and stood up to leave while thanking him profusely.
Yuan Chi was once a killer in the Guiyuan Realm and belonged to the killer organization called Ye Wangfu.
This guy is extremely powerful and is known as the Ghost Shadow Swordshead.
It's a pity that the Night Palace couldn't think of it anymore and dared to attack the imperial official.
As a result, it led to the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court Zhenfusi...
Yuan Chi managed to escape with serious injuries, escaped into Buddhism anonymously, and changed his name to Yuan Chi.
In the past life, a player got a clue and learned that before his death, Yuan Chi hid his martial arts, sword skills, and body skills in code in three volumes of Buddhist scriptures.
What the player gets is the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and after decrypting it, he gets the intermediate body skills, which made him famous for a while, but the body skills are the least valuable.
Zuo Chongming came here three years in advance. He just wanted to find a body skill to use, but he never thought that he would gain something unexpected.
After achieving his goal of picking up the leak, he went straight to the inn.
It took nearly an hour to decipher the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
"nailed it!"
Zuo Chongming put down his brush and stretched his sore wrist.
After turning over what I had copied, I saw the prompt in front of my field of view: "It is indeed the shadow of the residual cloud."
"Remnant Cloud Shadow" is the signature movement technique of the Night King's Mansion. It can only be fully used in the blood coagulation state, and can leave up to three lifelike afterimages.
"Tsk tsk!"
Zuo Chongming confirmed his study and couldn't help but sigh to himself: "I finally got a martial arts book that is eye-catching."
In the game "Homeward Bound", martial arts are a bit like diodes.
In other words, low-level martial arts are easy to acquire.
For example, externally practiced martial arts such as Tongbei Fist can be purchased for a few hundred taels of silver, while internally practiced martial arts such as Prajna Palm only require thousands of taels of silver.
However, good things with intermediate martial arts and above are rare for casual warriors.
