Evergreen Immortal

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Li Rui slowly opened his eyes and felt something strange in his lower body.

A pillar supporting the sky.

A long-lost feeling.

It seems that practicing martial arts is indeed very effective.

During this period of time, except for the necessary inspections in the stables, he practiced martial arts in the house at other times, and the effect was very obvious. He had secretly tried it and lifting a 200-jin boulder was not a problem at all.

A 70-year-old man could lift 200 pounds. In his previous life, he would be the god of the park.

The Eight-Section Brocade has little lethality, but it can still kill people with great strength.

With Li Rui's current strength, most of the guards of the Zhu family are probably not his opponents.

Li Rui first inspected the stables, and then practiced the Eight-Section Brocade four times.

He did not walk out until he was startled by a noise outside the door.

When Li Rui followed the sound to the front yard, he saw a group of servants gathered in a circle, and could vaguely hear people wailing in pain.

Li Rui saw Yang Yong at the outermost edge of the crowd at a glance.

"Old Yang, what happened?"

Yang Yong: "A boy who just entered the mansion stole things from the mansion and was caught by the master. According to the rules, he should be whipped thirty times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Rui heard a heart-wrenching sound.

Through the gap in the crowd, he saw a young man with a naked upper body and bloodstains all over his back, which was shocking.

"You traitor, I took you in out of pity, but you still dare to steal things, I beat you to death!"

Then I saw the master of the Zhu family raised the whip and fell hard.

A crisp snap!

The servants watching couldn't help but tremble together.

Yang Yong: "This kid's mother was seriously ill at home, so he sold himself to the Zhu family. He should want to steal and sell money to treat his mother's illness. Alas"

He shook his head and didn't say anything.

In the end, the young man was carried away by several guards in a coma. It seemed that he was breathing out more than breathing in, and he couldn't survive.

Li Rui might be the calmest one among the crowd.

He had seen too many such scenes in his decades of experience. Once a slave was enslaved, his life was sold to the master. Even if he was beaten to death by the master, the government would not care. His death was in vain.

"This world is full of cannibalism."

At this time, Yang Yong suddenly exclaimed: "Old Li, have you regained your youth? Your body looks much stronger than before."

He looked up and down at Li Rui, making a sound of "tsk tsk".

Originally, he thought that Li Rui was just joking when he asked him for Ba Duan Jin, but now he saw that the other party might really be practicing it.

Li Rui took out the Ba Duan Jin technique from his arms: "Just give it back to you."

Yang Yong put away the technique, but there was more surprise in his eyes.

"Old Li, do you want to outlive me too?"

Li Rui: "Don't worry, I'm familiar with burying people."

Yang Yong's mouth twitched. He felt that he might not live longer than Li Rui. Could it be that Old Li really wanted to see him off to the end?

Reverse Tian Gang!

Li Rui returned to the room and recalled the scene today.

Servants are servants after all, and they have no human rights at all.

As his martial arts skills became more and more advanced, his consumption became greater and greater. The stock in the stables and warehouses had long been consumed by him. Although he could hide some every day, this undoubtedly increased the risk of being discovered by the master.

Although the master of the Zhu family grew up under his care.

But if he committed a crime, the other party would not show any mercy. The previous old groom was beaten to death because a horse was sick.

He buried the body.

"It seems that I can only buy it outside."

Fortunately, the groom's salary is generous, and there is nothing to spend money on in the Zhu family. Li Rui has saved a lot of money over the years, which will be enough to support him for a while.

When I think of my own wealth of thirty taels of silver.

It's no wonder that some young girls in the city love to cheat old men.

When people get old, they know many things that young people don't know, such as this black market.

The black market was just built forty years ago.

At that time, he had just buried the old groom and became the new groom of the Zhu family. The black market was still very formal at that time, and many things gradually became informal.

The black market was in a corner of the East City, and it took about two quarters of an hour to get there.

At the entrance, two strong men in black clothes who looked difficult to deal with stopped Li Rui expressionlessly: "It's a big market entrance fee. No fighting after entering, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"Understood."

Li Rui knew the process long ago and skillfully took out a big coin from his pocket.

It's called a black market here, but it's not as mysterious as the legend says. It's just a special point for stalls to gather. The things sold are all kinds of things. There may be treasures, but not many.

Most of them are nearby villagers, who bring some roosters, eggs and the like to exchange.

Although the black market collects market fees, it is much lower than the government's tariffs. And the irony is that the order of the black market is even better than the government's market. Even if it's a little more expensive, many people are willing to come.

The truly shameful things cannot be discovered by ordinary people even if they see them, and they must be detected by specific underworld codes.

Li Rui has been here many times and knows everything about the black market.

At this moment, he looks very different from usual.

Not only does he wear a black scarf, but his clothes are also much thicker than usual, and he even padded his shoulders with right angles. Not only can you not tell his age, but you can tell from his figure that he is not easy to mess with.

Although the black market is guarded by the Blood Tiger Gang, nothing will happen in the market, but it is hard to guarantee that others will target him and take action outside the black market.

It is always right to be cautious.

"Chicken, pork!"

Li Rui looked at the nearest stall. He used to visit this store often and buy some meat to improve his diet.

But this time, his purpose was not meat, but herbs.

There are many nearby herbalists in the black market, and they can definitely find good things.

Just as he was looking for a herbal stall, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Ma Yang?"

Li Rui didn't expect that his apprentice would also come to the black market.

Ma Yang knew about the black market, and it was he who told him. At that time, the relationship between the master and the apprentice was very good.

Li Rui had no intention of going forward to recognize him, and he quickly found a herbal stall.

"Brother, look at this. This is the newly picked Morinda officinalis today. It will definitely work for replenishing yang and strengthening tendons."

As he said this, he also showed a look of you know.

No matter what era, men's kidneys and women's faces are the most willing to spend money.

"I want this, this, and this."

In order to avoid revealing his real age, Li Rui spoke as little as possible and deliberately changed his voice, so the stall owner did not find anything unusual.

These herbs are a recipe called Yangqi Powder.

He got this recipe secretly when he was getting a prescription for the martial arts master of the Zhu family one year.

He has always kept it in mind and now he finally uses it.

Taking the herbs packed by the vendor, Li Rui glanced at the thin man who was looking up at the sky not far away.

There was a scar on his face, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with.

He was being targeted!
