Taoist master wants to ascend

Qin Xiong was killed at home!

The rain hadn't stopped all night and when the sky was dark, Qiu Da, who had received the news, had already led a group of government servants to come in a hurry, but was stopped outside the door.

"Captain Qiu, please stop!"

Outside the courtyard, several guards from the forging shop stopped Qiu Da, led by none other than Leader Zhao.

"Brother Zhao, what are you doing?"

Qiu Da suppressed the anger in his heart. Before his uncle got into trouble, who in the outer city would dare to stop him?

"Captain Qiu, please don't make things difficult for me!"

Zhao He held a spear and said expressionlessly: "Liu County Lieutenant is inside, are you worried?"

"you!"

Qiu Da was furious, but couldn't get angry, so he just snorted and left, but he was secretly angry in his heart:

"Wait, wait until Mr. Han arrives and see how you die..."

He always suspected that his uncle's death was related to the forces such as Blacksmithing Shop!

"Qiu Da is gone."

Zhao He walked into the courtyard.

Yu Zhen stood holding the knife with his brows furrowed, while Cao Yan looked cold. In the mud in front of them was a corpse that was almost smashed into mud.

"Qin, Qin's guard was plotted by someone. He was caught off guard and beaten to death with a hammer!"

Next to the corpse, a slightly fat man walked around to check, sometimes looking around, sometimes looking up. After a long time, he cupped his hands and said:

"The murderer used probably the most common hammer. As for martial arts..."

After a slight pause, the man looked a little subtle:

"It's the White Ape Cloak Hammer, the killing move, the White Ape Hammer!"

White Ape Hammer!

Cao Yan's eyelids twitched. Even if the heavy rain washed away all traces, the injuries on the body could not be faked.

"Brother Liu is right. Qin Xiong did die from the white ape's hammer."

Yu Zhen held the knife and walked around the yard. When he got to the door, he turned his back to the door:

"It rained heavily last night. Qin Xiong seemed to have gone out at night. When he came back, he saw the lights at home were turned off and the door was wide open. When he eagerly entered the house,

The murderer lurking on the roof ambushed him in the heavy rain, and with the first blow, he broke the arms crossed in front of him..."

Yu Zhen's gesture was famous, as if he saw it with his own eyes, which made Cao Yan and Liu Bin couldn't help but nod.

Finally, be sure:

"The murderer deliberately used the hammer, probably to hide his true weaponry and martial arts skills. This person should be a person who has cultivated his inner strength and not yet tempered his body.

Otherwise, there is no need to spend a lot of time in ambush or sneak attack! "

"Brother Yu is right!"

Liu Bin nodded repeatedly to express his admiration:

"This thief is quite cunning. He smashed the body without leaving any traces of internal energy. He clearly wanted to mislead us and hide his identity. Unfortunately, it was still exposed!"

"This person deliberately did not retain any internal energy, but just like that, his identity was exposed just now. How many people in Gaoliu County can smash Qin Xiong's arm bones and sternum with a hammer without using internal energy?"

Yu Zhen sneered.

Liu Bin glanced at Cao Yan, then quickly moved away, guessing:

"Could it be Nianjiu? But that's not right. Where did Nianjiu learn the White Ape Hammer?"

Cao Yan had a gloomy face and settled the matter: "That year, I was born in Qianjun Cave. I have been a big thief for many years. What does it matter if I imitate the White Ape Hammer?"

"Could it be that Cao sent someone to kill Qin Xiong and cut off his own arm?"

"How dare Liu be so suspicious?"

Liu Bin expressed his indignation: "You damn thief, you dare to commit murder! If you fall into the hands of this county captain, you will have to skin him!"

Then he said goodbye and went to the county government to report.

After Liu Bin left, the yard became quiet. Yu Zhen's eyes were slightly cold: "Qin Xiong's death is strange."

"He must have been killed by Nianjiu. What's so strange?"

Cao Yan turned around indifferently and told Zhao He: "Qin Xiong doesn't have many relatives at home. The shop will help him with his funeral. Bury him as soon as possible and let him be buried in peace!"

"yes!"

Zhao He felt relieved, called a few guards to lift the body, and left in a hurry.

"The White Ape has lost all his plans..."

Yu Zhen's skin twitched, feeling heartbroken and angry:

"Yu will pay compensation on his own. I hope Brother Cao won't be surprised."

Cao Yan only responded and looked into the distance with cold eyes:

"Han Chuijun is coming soon."

…

…

"Henglian martial arts, also known as beating martial arts, is a martial arts practice that uses breathing techniques combined with medicinal wine and medicinal oil to hit the whole body. Do you want to hit harder and harder?

No wonder so few people practice this kind of martial arts..."

In the forge room, the hammers were clanging, and Li Yuan was doing two things at once. Thinking about Qixing's training, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Hit the whole body, from beating with wooden sticks to rubbing with iron sand. Before reaching success, the intensity of the blows needs to be increased seven times!

How painful is this?

Iron sand is used for sharpening knives...

Just thinking about it, Li Yuan felt a little bit sour. Isn't this self-abuse of martial arts?

"Have you heard? Guard Qin was killed by Nian Jiu last night. The shopkeeper was furious and increased Nian Jiu's reward to five hundred taels of silver!"

"Five hundred taels! But no matter how much money you have, life is not important. Jiu Tai was so vicious that year, even Commander Qiu was given to him..."

"I'm sorry for Guard Qin. He just died. The concubines he kept were already fighting to the death, and the noble man's face was stained!"

Amidst the tinkling of the iron, the blacksmiths were also discussing.

There is little entertainment in the outer city. If you want to listen to music, you have to go to the inner city. There is no fun on weekdays. If there is something big or small, it will spread quickly and become the talk of the public after dinner.

"Buried on the same day?"

Li Yuan captured the key point.

Obviously, this is what the big shopkeeper Cao Yan meant.

"Could it be that someone from the Divine Weapon Valley is coming?"

The hammer fell, sparks flew everywhere, and Li Yuan calmed down.

Without the threat of Qin Xiong, he felt that his progress in blacksmithing skills had accelerated a lot. As for the people coming from the Divine Weapon Valley, it had nothing to do with him.

So what if Qiu Long was killed by Cao Yan?

The Zhujiu Clan has nothing to do with him!

"Old Zhangtou is not involved in this..."

Li Yuan took a long breath and calmed down, starting with the mineral selection and preparing to forge his first high-quality sharp blade.

"The first high-quality sharp blade I made with my own hands, I can buy it back at half the price. Needless to say, what to fight, of course it's the inner armor!"

Arriving at the warehouse, accompanied by Wang Hu, Li Yuan began to select the ores, starting with the black silver ore.

"Black Silver Stone? Junior Brother Li, are you planning to use inner armor?"

Wang Hu was taken aback.

The imperial court banned armor and crossbows, but not inner armor. The biggest reason was that making inner armor was far more cumbersome and difficult than making armor.

For decades in the blacksmith shop, there were only a handful of blacksmiths who could make inner armor. Now only Zhang Bi is left. Due to lack of energy, he needs the cooperation of others when making it, and there are no more than two pieces a year.

"Is it too difficult to choose this one for the first time? If the build fails, you will have to pay half of the iron ore materials..."

Wang Hu was a little worried.

"With the master watching from the side, of course I will take the opportunity to fight the hardest one, but I won't be treated like this again!"

Li Yuan smiled.

If he hadn't practiced martial arts this horizontally, he would have hesitated. Now, naturally, soft armor would take priority.

If Tang Tong didn't have that soft armor to protect him, that sword might have hurt more than just his internal organs. If Qin Xiong hadn't practiced hard, he wouldn't have been able to stop his eighteen blows.

Henglian with soft armor will not be able to save lives in critical moments.

It would be even better if you could create soft armor with the blessing of ‘horizontal training talent’.
