It’s all about martial arts, why did you turn on the simple mode?

boom.

The door was violently broken open.

"no one?"

In the empty room, there was no sign of Su Chen.

"Afraid of crime and absconding?"

Grandma Qi looked around, and this thought came to her mind, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

They made a deal with Su Chen last night, but after one night, the other party disappeared. It happened to be right after they were attacked.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world!

"Wait and see, if he doesn't show up today, then the attack last night must be related to this person, and this person must be one of the accomplices!"

Although she had doubts, she still planned to observe again.

the other side.

In a dilapidated house.

Su Chen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao's body with a solemn face.

"died!"

This time he was really dead. Su Chen couldn't detect any abnormality in his heartbeat, pulse or breathing. He was no different from a dead person.

When he brought Chu Xiaoxiao back last night, Su Chen originally planned to wait for her to wake up and then ask her something.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up this morning, I found that Chu Xiaoxiao's last heartbeat had stopped beating, as if he had expired.

"Chu Xiaoxiao must have practiced techniques such as feigning death, so he pretended to be dead after being attacked last night.

It's just that she didn't even think that the other party would kill him, and her body couldn't bear it.

So even though she successfully deceived the Xuanshui Gang by feigning death, she still died in the end because her injuries were too serious compared to the fake death! "

After some inspection, Su Chen quickly determined the real cause of Chu Xiaoxiao's death.

Even he didn't expect that Chu Xiaoxiao, who was supposed to be pretending to die, would actually die for real. Unfortunately, he still planned to wait for Chu Xiaoxiao to wake up and ask her about the skills she practiced.

However, Su Chen did not directly put Chu Xiaoxiao's body in the abandoned house. He also had a little fantasy:

"Could it be the characteristic of this technique that it first slows down the heartbeat, then completely stops it, and then it will recover soon?"

In view of this, Su Chen decided to observe again. Chu Xiaoxiao could not be awakened in a state of suspended animation, so he planned to stay in the abandoned house for a while. If Chu Xiaoxiao still had no possibility of recovery after a few days, he would deal with him .

It doesn't take long, just a day or two is enough. After all, the body will putrefy after death.

As for why Chu Xiaoxiao was not brought back, although Su Chen's residence is remote, it does not necessarily mean that it is safe. Bringing such a fake dead person would attract too much attention. If someone discovers it, the gain outweighs the loss, so it is better to stay here. Yes, it will only take a day or two anyway.

After hiding Chu Xiaoxiao's body, Su Chen took stock of the meager gains last night. There were only seven Qi and Blood Pills, all of which were obtained from the unconscious man from the Xuanshui Gang. As for Chu Xiaoxiao, only seven Qi and Blood Pills were obtained. I can say that she is truly worthy of being an eldest lady. She is poor and has nothing.

"Except for this pile of clothes, I'm afraid there aren't many valuable things on my body." Su Chen glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao, shook his head slightly, and looked at the other person's head, "And this hosta!"

"Hosta..."

Suddenly, Su Chen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly cast his eyes on the hairpin in Chu Xiaoxiao's hair. There was light flowing in his eyes. He stood up and came to the other party and pulled out the hairpin from his head.

There was a click.

As if a mechanism had been triggered, the more than ten centimeter-long hosta suddenly fell off, revealing a rolled-up piece of white paper.

Su Chen looked overjoyed. There were actually boots hidden in the hosta. They were hidden in the waist, in the arms, in the cuffs, in the knife, and in the poison. How could they be hidden in the hosta, especially for women? Said, this is simply a natural hiding place! "

Su Chen clicked his tongue in surprise. If it hadn't been for a flash of inspiration, he really wouldn't have discovered this.

Unrolling the paper, Su Chen looked at it. The more he looked at it, the happier his brows became. He did not expect that there was actually a skill hidden in the hosta.

"Houtuque!"

Although there were only a few hundred words, the content inside surprised Su Chen: "This is... a technique for tempering the spleen!"

After reading several hundred words of content, the words "Gong Technique" suddenly appeared on the panel, looming, as if waiting for Su Chen's favor.

Su Chen calmed down a little and looked at the technique carefully again: "It is similar to the Hua Jin Kung Fu, but the restrictions of Houtu Que are even greater."

The thick earth tower can also absorb force, but not everyone can absorb it. It has great limitations:

Only those who cause the technique to throb can be absorbed. On weekdays, they can only practice by tempering their strength.

But this kind of tempering is not like the daily hard training of normal warriors. It can transfer the power to others and then withdraw it, and so on, increasing the speed of cultivation.

As long as the opponent's strength is not lower than yours, that's fine.

Under this premise, the stronger the opponent is, the better the feedback effect will be, and the faster the cultivation speed will be.

Although it is not as fast as Huajin Gong in terms of training speed, in terms of safety, I don’t know how much better it is than Huajin Gong.

After all, Hua Jing Gong is an almost predatory way of forcibly absorbing the energy of others, and this skill is more like a 'loan shark'.

I lend you my strength, and you have to accept it whether you agree or not.

As long as your strength is not as good as mine, I can reclaim this power.

And on this basis, the stronger you are, the purer the energy I can recover, and the faster I can speed up my cultivation.

Such behavior is so similar to loan sharking!

Of course, if your strength is not as good as the other party, the energy sent to you may be absorbed by the other party, not only wasting your energy, but also delaying your own training time.

After reading the whole article, I can only summarize it in one sentence: The advantage of this technique is that you can practice it without any restrictions through the 'loan shark' practice method, but the disadvantage is that you can only practice it through the 'loan loan shark' method.

There are pros and cons!

In addition, Su Chen also saw a hidden message:

It is very difficult to practice this technique in the early stage. Only when this technique is cultivated to its full strength can it really be effective.

For ordinary people, they would think carefully and weigh the pros and cons, but for Su Chen, these flaws had little impact, so he just thought about it for a moment and made a plan.

Recharge, earn gold, and turn on simple mode:

[Simple mode on: Stand for ten minutes and you can practice the thick soil Que to the basic level. 】

Ten minutes later, turn on simple mode again:

[Easy mode turned on: Stand for twenty minutes and you can practice the thick soil barrier to the first level. 】

Twenty minutes later, after completing the second level of the thick soil tower, Su Chen stopped practicing.

Both Qi and Blood Pills and money are enough, but his body can only swallow six Qi and Blood Pills at one time a day, and he needs to wait until tomorrow to meet the needs of the panel.

After cultivating into Hou Tu Que, there was nothing strange about his body, but he obviously felt that his strength had increased a little, and the muscles on his body had become much stronger.

I didn't expect that this is a skill that can be used to shape your body, although the effect is not very obvious.

…

Cai Mansion.

After two days of adjustments, Cai Mansion barely restored order, but Cai Liuhe was not happy about it.

Although no trace of Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yingying has been found until now, and the two people have only been publicized as missing, in his opinion, they are probably in danger.

For those who are direct descendants of the Chu family, sometimes disappearance means death.

Two direct descendants of the Chu family died and died in the Liuhe Gang. No matter what, the Liuhe Gang would not be able to escape this matter.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Cai Xiaoyue hurriedly walked in and said with a sad face: "Dad, the gang members sent out sent back the news, but they still couldn't find Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yingying."

"Then have you found out who did it?" Cai Liuhe rubbed his eyes and asked.

Hearing this, Cai Xiaoyue shook her head: "Can't find it."

Both the government and the Liuhe Gang sent a large number of troops, but in the end, no one could find out the identity of the person who committed the crime last night.

They seemed to appear out of nowhere and disappear without leaving any trace.

"Let's go look for him again. If he's alive, he'll see the person, if he's dead, he'll see his body!" Cai Liuhe said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

After responding, Cai Xiaoyue was about to leave, but suddenly she heard someone shouting: "It's not good, sir..."

"What's wrong?" Cai Xiaoyue looked at the person with confusion and asked.

"Master, Xuan Shui Sect has arrived with a large number of people!" the housekeeper said hurriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked towards him outside the courtyard, all wearing black clothes and looking menacing.

"Gang Leader Cai, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that the Cai Mansion would suffer such a disaster. What a pity!"

Walking at the front was an old man, short in stature, with wrinkles all over his face. He was smiling when he spoke, but with this smile, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the person coming was evil.

Hong Ming, who heard the commotion, walked out. When he saw the old man, his heart suddenly trembled, but his expression remained calm. He cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Elder Hong Jinchen of the Xuanshui Sect. I didn't know that the great master was here, but I didn't expect him to be welcomed from afar. Why? Please excuse me."

"It's not a grand visit, but it's true that it's a distant welcome. There's no one in the huge Cai Mansion to greet you. No wonder it was attacked by someone." Hong Jinchen said lightly, with a sharp edge in his words.

How could Cai Liuhe not hear it? His eyes changed slightly, he looked at the other party deeply, and said Shen Ran: "Elder Hong, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, there is no need to be so roundabout."

"Okay!" Hong Jinchen rolled up his sleeves and smiled, unfurling his wrinkles, "Clan Leader Cai is really brave enough to take the responsibility. In this case, Hong needs to ask Gang Leader Cai that our Xuanshui Sect has entrusted the Chu family's twin sisters to the Liuhe Gang's care. Now that the two girls are missing, does Gang Leader Cai have to give Hong an explanation?"

"Cai will naturally investigate this matter!" Cai Liuhe said expressionlessly.

"Check it out? I think this is what your Liuhe Gang did secretly. Otherwise, who in the entire Dafeng City could break into your Cai Mansion without leaving any traces?" A Xuanshui Sect disciple snorted coldly, without being polite. 's retorted.

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaoyue suddenly became angry, took a step forward, and snorted coldly.

"Do you dare to do it or not?" The man looked down at Cai Xiaoyue lightly, with contempt in his eyes.

"you……"

Cai Liuhe stopped Cai Xiaoyue and looked at the disciple. Under Cai Liuhe's gaze, although the disciple's eyes were wandering, his momentum did not diminish.

"In addition to the Liuhe Gang, there are many people who can come and go freely in the Cai Mansion, such as the Xuanshui Gang, Xuanshui Sect..." Cai Liuhe replied.

"Absurd!" Another disciple spoke up and scolded, "We complied with the wishes of the city lord and entrusted the Chu sisters to your care. Now they don't know whether they are alive or dead. It's better for you. Catch the thief if you call the thief. Do you really think that our Xuan Shui Sect is easy to bully? Can’t do it?”

The atmosphere became tense, but the leader, Hong Jinchen, was still there, with empty eyes and an attitude that it had nothing to do with him.

"Whether he is a thief or not, it's not your turn to decide!" Cai Xiaoyue argued unceremoniously.

At this time, Hong Jinchen interrupted everyone and said: "We are not here today to quarrel, but to hope that Gang Leader Cai will give us an explanation!"

After he finished speaking, he cast his sharp eyes on Cai Liuhe like a blade.

"Give me three days, and I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Cai Liuhe knew that Xuan Shui Sect was here to cause trouble, and after thinking for a moment, he said.

However, Hong Jinchen did not give him any face. He stretched out a finger and snorted: "I only give you one day. If you don't find the murderer, I'm afraid there will no longer be your Cai Liuhe in the huge Dafeng City." A place to stay.”

"What can you do in one day?" Cai Xiaoyue's expression changed drastically when she heard this and asked.

Hearing this, Hong Jinchen's eyes narrowed and he struck out at Cai Xiaoyue without saying a word. The cold palm wind stirred up the air, causing waves of air to roar towards her.

Cai Liuhe on the side raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and quickly stood in front of Cai Xiaoyue, pumping his palms, and the strength of his whole body was concentrated on the palms, and light flowed.

boom!

The two palms touched, and there seemed to be endless ripples. The circles of air waves shook away all the dust around them. The sleeves and hair of the two people were dancing with the wind, and the two palms were even more powerful. of collision.

Bang!

Hong Jinchen took a step back, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he retracted his palm, and the momentum around him suddenly weakened.

He snorted coldly: "The little girl is rude and doesn't know what adults are talking about. Can't a child interrupt? If Gang Leader Cai hadn't taken action this time, I would have taught you a lesson!"

"This is Cai's daughter. She should be disciplined by Cai. What does it have to do with you?" Cai Liuhe did not give Hong Jinchen any face.

Hong Jinchen was not angry, but took a deep look at Cai Liuhe and said indifferently: "Gang Leader Cai, remember, you only have one day."

After saying that, Hong Jinchen led a group of Xuanshui Sect disciples and left proudly.

puff!

"Dad!" Cai Xiaoyue's face was full of anger. Suddenly she saw Cai Liuhe spurting out a mouthful of blood, and her expression suddenly tightened.

After Cai Liuhe's expression changed for a while, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand: "I'm fine."

"No, your face looks ugly. I'll ask Brother Zhu to come over and show you." Cai Xiaoyue said anxiously.

However, Cai Liuhe grabbed Cai Xiaoyue, shook his head, and said nothing, but his meaning was self-evident.

Cai Xiaoyue had no choice but to give up and helped Cai Liuhe into the lobby. When Cai Liuhe sat down, she picked up a cup of tea and said, "Dad, take a drink of water first."

"Put it here first."

Cai Liuhe shook his head, suddenly looked at Cai Xiaoyue, and said seriously, "Xiaoyue, go and call Zhu Yan."

"Ah?" Cai Xiaoyue was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted.

Not long after, Cai Xiaoyue hurried over with Zhu Yan, and Cai Liuhe led Zhu Yan into the room.

"Gang leader, how are you injured?"

When Zhu Yan saw Cai Liuhe's pale face, he was immediately shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Can I show it to you?"

"No need."

Cai Liuhe shook his head, coughed slightly, and looked at Zhu Yan with a bit of determination and softness in his eyes. He said, "Zhu Yan, I know that you and Xiaoyue are in love, so I have a few things to tell you. You must agree." Me, take care of Xiaoyue for me."

Seeing Cai Liuhe being so solemn, Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of solemnity in his heart, nodded and said: "Gang Leader, please speak."

boom!

The door was opened, and Cai Xiaoyue burst in.

"Dad, tell me, what happened? Why did you send away the servants at home and asked Brother Zhu to take me away tonight? Why don't you go with me?"

After learning Cai Liuhe's arrangement from Zhu Yan, Cai Xiaoyue was completely confused. She also learned that Cai Liuhe had just asked the housekeeper to dismiss the servants of Cai Mansion.

Although there were not many servants in the Cai Mansion at this time, Cai Liuhe's actions made her feel very uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

She stared at Cai Liuhe, waiting for his reply.

Cai Liuhe stood up with a soft smile on his face, came to Cai Xiaoyue, stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, but pulled it back suddenly.

Just listen to him chuckle: "Xiaoyue, leave Dafeng City with your brother Zhu and find a place without war and disputes to spend the rest of your life. Think of it as the last thing dad does for you."

"Dad, I won't leave!" The pretty face was full of stubbornness. With Cai Xiaoyue's intelligence, she could not guess what Cai Liuhe was thinking. She couldn't help but said in distress, "Dad, is there really no other way? ?”

Cai Liuhe fell silent after hearing this. He later realized that when the Chu family moved into the Liuhe Gang, there was actually no room for maneuver and he had been abandoned by the people above him.

"Dad, please come with us." Cai Xiaoyue choked.

Cai Liuhe shook his head: "You can leave if I'm here, but no one can leave if I'm not here!"

"Okay, I'm leaving. Dad, take care of me!"

After struggling for a long time, Cai Xiaoyue looked calm, as if she had made great determination, and spoke.

Hearing this, Cai Liuhe couldn't help but smile on his face, then took out a secret book from his arms and said:

"This is undetermined gong. There are two ways of practice, positive and negative. Right gong saves people, and reverse gong kills. Before you became a father, I asked you to practice right gong. If you want to practice in the future, you can only practice right gong. Remember not to practice Counterattack, otherwise you will go crazy!"

"good!"

Cai Xiaoyue accepted the secret book and asked, "Why is this?"

"Life and death are two extremes. If you practice both positive and negative skills, you will have two completely different powers. If the two incompatible powers live in your body, you will lose control sooner or later." Cai Liuhe said quietly.

"Then can I help Brother Zhu practice?" Cai Xiaoyue asked again.

After hearing this, Cai Liuhe was silent for a while, and then said: "If Zhu Yan doesn't let you down, you can practice it for him. It's just that this technique seems to require a special physique to practice. Over the years, I have discovered that you If you can practice, even your mother can’t.”

"Okay, it's getting late. You should hurry up and pack your things. I will ask my close associates to take you away then." Cai Liuhe urged.

"Um."

Watching Cai Xiaoyue leave the room, Cai Liuhe closed the door.

Sandalwood burns slowly, its fragrance wafting through the room.

Cai Liuhe, who was sitting cross-legged and recovering from his injuries, showed a rare look of tiredness on his face. Suddenly, he swayed and his body fell on the bed.
