One Punch Man’s Unlimited Luck

Chapter 08 Trading

Xingtao took Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling and left Yuhang directly, and came to a canyon in the nearby mountains. This is a long valley with two mountains facing each other. In the middle is a clear water stone stream. rattle. The tall pine and cypress trees on both sides of the stream block the sunlight at the top, and the valley is gloomy, and the water is reflected in light green.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling followed behind Xing Tao with some trepidation in their hearts. After feeling Xing Tao's aura, the two of them secretly complained in their hearts. In the hands of a strong man.

Xing Tao randomly found a rock and sat down, then patted the rock next to him, and said to the two of them, "Sit down too!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were just about to say something, but when they met Xingtao's eyes, they were stunned for a moment, their momentum was completely suppressed, and they could only bite the bullet and sit down obediently.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Xing Tao asked.

The two shook their heads at the same time.

"Your internal qi is very mysterious, but it seems that you don't know martial arts at all." Xing Tao said lightly, "So it feels a bit strange, what are you two called?"

Xu Ziling was about to speak, but Kou Zhong bumped into him secretly, and said first: "My name is Fu Zhong, and his name is Fu Ling. Our mother taught us all our skills, and reading and writing were all done by her. After that, we wandered about to see what kind of profitable business to do..."

"You two brats are really dishonest. Martial arts are passed down in your family? I don't know which family has such martial arts, but let you practice separately like this." Xing Tao looked at it playfully. The two said, "I'm afraid the family biography is just an excuse. Maybe your names are also fake names."

Kou Zhong's lie was exposed by Xing Tao in public, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassment on his face.

Xing Tao looked at the two of them and said to himself: "Actually, if you don't tell me, I also know that your martial arts come from the Taoist secret book "The Secret of Longevity". I'm right!"

"You... how do you know!?" Xu Ziling exclaimed.

On the side, Kou Zhong's face also had a flash of shock, even Du Fuwei couldn't see their martial arts foundation, but the young man in front of him could see through it at a glance. This was the first time they encountered such a thing after they entered the rivers and lakes.

Suddenly, there was a strange look in Kou Zhong's eyes, and he sighed: "It seems that you have recognized us a long time ago, are you trying to capture us and give us a reward for that bastard Yu Wenhua?"

In fact, Kou Zhong was also testing Xing Tao, wanting to know what Xing Tao was looking for them for.

"Yu Wenhua bone? You are talking about Yu Wenhuaji, right? Just relying on him, he is also worthy of instructing me to do things?" Xing Tao said lightly, "You two brats should save some time, don't make unnecessary temptations, I It has nothing to do with any forces in the world today. I just want to get the "Longevity Formula."

At this time, Xu Ziling suddenly said: "It's useless even if you get the "Secret of Longevity". If you want to practice the above kung fu, you have to abolish martial arts yourself." Describe, so get straight to the point.

"There is no skill in the world that you have to abolish martial arts to cultivate!" Xing Tao said lightly, "If there is really one, it is only because you have not reached the level of practicing this skill."

In fact, this is the truth, thinking that "Northern Underworld Divine Art" also said that one must abolish martial arts to practice, but Xingtao hid his own inner strength, cheated the exercises, and practiced "Northern Underworld Divine Art". Similar to this, other martial arts that require self-destructive martial arts must also have compatible conditions, but ordinary people cannot meet them.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, secretly thinking that the person who knows the current affairs is a hero, full of helplessness, they could only temporarily accept Xing Tao's words and promised to take him to find the "Secret of Longevity".

Xing Tao looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said: "I know you two brats must be unwilling, but it's okay. You give me the "Longevity Formula", and I can help you with something I can do. It's a fair deal, what do you think?"

After hearing Xing Tao's words. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling hesitated, and looked at each other. In the end, Kou Zhong plucked up the courage to speak out his thoughts: "My lord, I see that you are very skilled...we want... want... Master, teach us both a little skill!"

"You want to worship me as a teacher?" Xing Tao looked at the two of them in surprise.

"If you can't do it, young master, it's fine!" Seeing Xing Tao's expression, Xu Ziling said quickly.

Even though he and Kou Zhong are beggars and petty pickpockets, they also know that accepting apprentices is a very strict thing. Take the Shilong Martial Arts Field of Yangzhou's top master Shilong as an example, it may be nothing to go in as an apprentice, and you can clear up the relationship with money. Of course, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are poor, so naturally there is no way. But it is extremely difficult to become the apprentice of Shi Long, the number one expert in Yangzhou.

"I want to take your "Secret of Longevity", but you still want to worship me as a teacher?" Xing Tao continued to ask, "Have you ever heard the saying 'the master has something to do, and the disciple should do his best', if I have something in the future Things need you to do, if you resist, you will deceive your teacher and destroy your ancestors, and there will be no place for you in the world in the future!"

In fact, Xing Tao is completely willing to accept the two of them as apprentices. These two people can be said to be the sons of luck in this world at this time. Although their luck is too low now, they will grow up sooner or later. If they were accepted as apprentices, after the luck of the two grew up, even Xing Tao's luck point would also increase.

However, there is one thing to be aware of, that is, accepting apprentices must be done willingly by both parties. If they are forced, then not only will there be no luck points to take, but their luck may even be ruined by them.

"This..." Xu Ziling couldn't help hesitating. What he considered was that he still didn't know what kind of person Xing Tao was. If he was someone like Du Fuwei, wouldn't he be helping him to do evil?

"That..." Kou Zhong also said embarrassedly, "Young Master, since we are trading...then that means we exchange the "Secret of Longevity" for your kung fu, so there is no need to add any additional conditions!?"

"It's fine if you don't want to be a teacher!" Xing Tao looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "But if you don't want to be a teacher, you won't be able to learn my true skills."

"You agreed?" Kou Zhong exclaimed.

"Agreed!" Xing Tao laughed, "But before I teach you Kung Fu, you should report your real names first. The aliases of Fu Zhong and Fu Ling can't fool anyone at all."

"Sir, shouldn't you also report your name!?" Kou Zhong said suddenly.

"My name is Xing Tao!" Xing Tao said lightly.

Seeing Xing Tao's straightforwardness, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also reported their real names.

Suddenly, Kou Zhong asked curiously: "Young Master Xing, how do you know that Fu Zhong and Fu Ling are pseudonyms?"

"Guess!" Xing Tao said, "The story you made up seems to say that you are brothers. But all people who are related by blood have similarities in body shape, appearance, etc. But look at your appearance, How can you be like a real brother? Not to mention that you still have the flaw of martial arts."

Chapter 09 Small talk

Hearing Xing Tao's words, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling nodded. They have never had much education, so now they take every opportunity to learn a little more.

But at the same time, the two were wondering in their hearts, did Xing Tao really not know the two of them? Logically speaking, Yu Wenhua and the whole world issued arrest warrants, so there is no reason for this person not to know them after knowing the "Secret of Longevity"?

"I can't teach you martial arts yet!" Xing Tao looked at the two and said, "Let's go first!"

"Why can't you teach now?" Kou Zhong asked.

Xing Tao glanced at the two of them, and said: "Since you didn't worship me as a teacher, then this is a transaction. The so-called transaction is naturally paying for the goods and delivering the goods. I haven't seen your goods yet, why should I buy them first?" Bring your own things to you?"

As he said that, Xing Tao got up immediately, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling followed quickly, and asked, "Master Xing, the place where we hide the "Secret of Longevity" belongs to Du Fuwei of the Jianghuai Army. In the past, it was discovered by Du Fuwei..."

Xing Tao said lightly: "If you say that the opponent is someone like Ning Daoqi, Fu Cailin, Bi Xuan, and Song Que, I might pay attention to it, but... Du Fuwei is nothing! If he dares to provoke me, he will Directly seize his foundation and make his Jianghuai army completely mine!"

"Young Master Xing...you also want to fight for the world?" Kou Zhong asked curiously.

"Who in the world is not interested in the throne of the emperor?" Xingtao glanced at Kou Zhong and said with a smile, "It's impossible to say that after you have been in the rivers and lakes for a few years, you will also have the idea of ​​conquering the world."

"No!!" Kou Zhong laughed embarrassingly, and said, "I'm not expected to conquer the world either!"

"What materials do you need to fight the world? Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was not a punk." Xing Tao teased, "Admit the desire in your heart honestly! People can grow and progress in the desire."

"Desire!?" Xu Ziling sighed, "If everyone had such great desire, wouldn't the whole world be plunged into war forever?"

"You are thinking wrong!" Xing Tao said, "If there is no desire for lodging, the whole world is still in the era of sleeping in the open; if there is no desire for food, the whole world is still in the era of slash-and-burn farming; if Without the yearning and pursuit of freedom, the whole world may still be in the slave age. Therefore, desire is the driving force behind human pursuit of life and social development, it is positive and progressive, and should not be denied.”

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were taken aback, this was something they hadn't thought about.

"But what if everyone wants to conquer the world and become emperor?" Xu Ziling asked after turning his mind.

"Desire is not only the ladder of progress, but also the root of disaster!" Xingtao continued, "In the final analysis, it depends on how those in power control people's desire; It will never be avoided, unless all become saints."

"Then if you win the world, how will you control people's desires?" Xu Ziling couldn't help blurting out the doubts in his heart.

"Desire is something that can't be controlled at all. It can only be engraved and guided!" Xing Tao shook his head and said, "For example, if one mu of land can produce 1 stone of grain per year, then a rule can be made that exceeds The part of 1 stone is not only free of tax, but also rewarded, so that farmers all over the world will find ways to increase the grain production of their fields!"

"How can this be regarded as desire for control? Even without this reward, these ordinary people will find ways to increase the output of their fields!?" Kou Zhong asked.

"Yes, they will improve, but how much motivation do they have?" Xing Tao said indifferently, "Increase the output by 10%, but the government and landlords exploited it layer by layer, and I can only harvest less than half of the food. In other words, after spending so much effort, but only getting half the effect, who would do such a stupid thing?"
