King of Black Mist

Early the next morning, Li Changzhou finished his morning exercises and called Liu De.

"I saw you were pretty good last night. What kind of martial arts did you practice?" He got straight to the point, which was also the benefit of his status.

"Back to the Second Master, I learned martial arts at the Northern Zhou Martial Arts School in Beicheng. The foundation is "Spiritual Snake Picture"." Liu De replied respectfully.

""Spirit Snake Picture"?"

"Yes." Liu De nodded, "Visualize the shape of a spiritual snake and have the flexibility of a spiritual snake."

"Can you teach me?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Second Master, I can teach you ordinary postures, but the visualization method not only requires a map, but also requires training of Qi and blood. If Qi and blood are insufficient, even if you have a map, you will not be able to visualize the spirit snake."

This matter was a bit supernatural. Afraid that Li Changzhou might not believe it, Liu De hurriedly said:

"I'm not trying to be mysterious. Nowadays, technological artillery reigns supreme, and telephones can even transmit sounds thousands of miles away. However, there are some things in the human body that are equally magical. Second Master, do you think how incredible it is that humans have thoughts?"

"I believe what you said." Li Changzhou nodded, "Let's do this. "Spiritual Snake Picture" won't work. You can teach me the stance of training Qi and blood. Is that okay?"

"No problem!" Liu De agreed, patting his chest, "But, Second Master, learning martial arts is very hard. It can only be accomplished in a year and a half. Second Master is older, so I'm afraid it will be even harder."

"You just discipline."

"good!"

The two immediately found a courtyard in the Marshal's mansion.

There are more than a dozen cypress trees planted in the middle of this large yard. The cypress trees divide the yard into two halves like a fence. One side is like a football field, while the other side is full of flowers, and the flowers are clustered like a flower basket.

"Second Master, my posture is called "Snake Step". It doesn't have a fancy name." Liu De took a few steps and slid out like a snake.

"The movement is as strange as a snake, the attack is as vicious as a snake, and the beating is as smooth as a snake."

The body twisted strangely, like a snake that was meandering forward. In a blink of an eye, it came to a cypress tree, and the body suddenly bumped into it, but the two passed by as if they were oiled.

Liu De wrapped himself around the tree, as soft as a snake.

At the same time, he raised his forearm like a snake, flicked his palm, hissed in the wind, and caught it on the cypress tree as fast as lightning.

Bang!

It was dull and cautious, the cypress tree was scratched alive, and debris was flying.

Liu De raised his hand. There were no wounds on it.

"If there is a "Spirit Snake Picture", when you take action, visualize the mouth of a poisonous snake. It is ten times more powerful. In one bite, it can bite through two such cypress trees."

After the demonstration, Liu De taught Li Changzhou the key points of "Snake Step". There were no formulas, but only physical postures.

“When you walk the Snake Step, your Qi and blood will naturally be exercised.”

"With the qualifications of an ordinary person, after one year of practice, you can take the first step of 'walking out of the hole'; after another two years of practice, you can take the two steps of 'wandering'; after another three years of practice, you can 'cross body'; and after four years of practice, you can 'dance wildly'. Five years of 'Lightning', six years of 'Wandering in All Directions', and seven years of 'Snake Shadow'."

"In a total of twenty-eight years, the snake took seven steps, and it was completed. You can imagine the "Spiritual Snake Picture"."

"Twenty-eight years?" Li Changzhou asked subconsciously.

"If you are talented, of course this time can be shortened." Liu De replied.

"How long have you been practicing?"

"Twenty years." Liu De was slightly satisfied. This was a full eight years shorter than ordinary people.

Eight years, only three years of high school, three years and three years, and two more years, Liu De can save so much time, he is a stable genius.

"What were the most powerful years of the Northern Zhou martial arts school?" Li Changzhou asked again.

"Half a year, but it was a record a long time ago. It is difficult to determine whether it is true or false. Just like the portraits of many people's ancestors, they are all elegant and graceful, which is far from reality." Liu De told the truth, but he didn't want to let it go without him. The knowledgeable Mr. Li thought he was not good enough.

"Well, you can go get ten thousand yuan yourself."

"Thank you, Master!"

"By the way," Li Changzhou stopped Liu De again, "I will go to the opera theater at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. You can arrange a box for me."

"The people from the Liyuan have already sent the tickets. Second Master can go whenever he wants."

"Okay, go get busy."

Liu De left the backyard and went straight to the accounting room to collect the reward.

This ten thousand yuan is quite a lot. In the 1920s, some top literati—the top group—earned just over ten thousand yuan a year.

Nowadays, one tael of gold only costs thirty-one and thirty cents, a thirty-pound bag of foreign flour produced in the United States only costs four yuan, and a table of the best swallow-wing mats in Zhengyang Tower only costs five yuan.

This ten thousand yuan can buy more than 400 acres of good land, and you can become a small landowner in the countryside!

Although there was no note, the accountant gave the money to Liu De and just asked the reason casually.

"Hey, Second Master saw me fighting an assassin last night and suddenly wanted to learn martial arts this morning. I asked a few questions and then stopped asking. I guess he just wanted to be fresh and didn't want to learn martial arts." Liu De said.

"Perhaps the second master took this opportunity to reward your performance last night." The accountant said.

"Hey!" Liu De slapped his thigh, "It's really possible! No wonder the second master only saw me demonstrate it once and then asked me to accept the reward."

"Liu De, you won the reward, so you can't treat us tonight!" Someone on the other side booed.

"Come all! Zhengyang Tower, the best Yanqi mat! After dinner, go to Luohua Bookstore to listen to a little song!" Liu De was also very interested.

"If I don't go, I won't go. The female gentlemen there will have to wait for me to look after them, looking for a 'eldest son' or a 'little son'!"

Chang San, prostitutes of this level charge three yuan for drinking and tea, so they are called Chang San.

The same principle applies to Yao Er. Tea is charged one yuan, and accompanying wine is charged two yuan, so it is called Yao Er.

Under 'Shu Yu', 'Chang San', and 'Yao Er', there is also a 'Pheasant', which is also called the legendary 'Pheasant' among the people. The work of prostitutes at this level is much more straightforward. Two things: smoking a big cigarette with the guest, and undressing the guest and unbuckling his belt.

After Liu De left, Li Changzhou was alone in the yard.

As he stepped forward and swung his body, the energy and blood all over his body twisted like a big snake.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps, six steps, seven steps.

The big snake of energy and blood neighed and became extremely active, as if it was about to rush out of the body.

The "Snake Step" that would take ordinary people twenty-eight years of hard work has been completed by him in an instant.

It's not over yet!

Li Changzhou followed his feeling and took another step, eight steps!

The blood all over his body was boiling, and wisps of blood mist were steaming, and they actually formed the shadow of a giant blood-colored dragon behind him.

Seven steps is a snake, eight steps is a dragon.

Li Changzhou relied on his illegal-level basic attributes to surpass all previous generations of the Northern Zhou Martial Arts School.

At this time, his temples were beating, there was a sound of thunder in his ears, and his whole body was like strings that were stretched to the extreme. Even if he put a little more force, the strings would break and the piano would be destroyed.

But is Li Changzhou someone who is afraid of strings? He is so crazy that he puts himself on the fire.

He raised his feet to take the ninth step.

"puff!"

His body staggered, his body and soul were disintegrated, and he vomited out a large mouthful of blood.

Since there is a dragon, of course there is a dragon, but you can't even take the ninth step with a violation-level physique?

Li Changzhou wiped the corner of his mouth, rolled it into blood beads and threw it into his mouth, unable to help but ponder.

Is it because my own Qi and blood (attributes) are not enough, or is it that "Snake Step" is not enough?

When it comes to Qi and blood, even the value game calls it an "illegal" attribute. There is no reason why it cannot be taken to the extreme.

The dragons and dragons here only have a symbolic meaning. They only represent a state, a change in the level of life, and a manifestation of powerful genes.

"Compendium of Materia Medica·Yi" says: "The dragon is the length of the scale insect. Wang Fu said that its shape has nine similarities: the head is like a camel, the horns are like a deer, the eyes are like a rabbit, the ears are like an ox, the neck is like a snake, the belly is like a mirage, and the scales Like a carp, its claws are like an eagle's, and its palms are like a tiger's."

If you put it in a value game, it means you are invincible in the world, and you have learned the powerful skills of various powerful creatures. This is a dragon.

Li Changzhou felt it for a while and found that the effect of "Snake Step" on stimulating potential at the 8th step was far worse than that of "Thunder Picture".

As far as he is concerned, even if there is a supporting visualization method "Spirit Snake Picture", it may not be as good as "Thunder Picture".

And "Thunder Picture" is only one of the "Five Books" of Master Huang's sect, and the "Five Books" are just the concepts learned at the beginning!

No wonder the old man with the goatee always wears that Taoist robe and wants to bully others.

Li Changzhou's heart filled with endless longing for the past.

"Snake Step" is not as good as "Thunder Picture" in terms of training 'ability', but as a footwork, it can be used as a major - Li Changzhou has no footwork at all and relies entirely on reaction and strength.

I practiced in the yard until 9 o'clock, when a servant reported that Lin Ziwen wanted to see him for something.

Li Changzhou came to the living room of the front house of the Marshal's Mansion - the living room where he played mahjong last night was the back house. Most of the servants were women, and the front house was occupied by male footmen.

When Lin Ziwen saw him, he stood up immediately and asked with concern whether he was injured.

"A few thieves are not worth mentioning." Li Changzhou waved his hand.

The two parties chatted for a while, and Lin Ziwen tentatively said: "Xiannephew, what do you think about August 8th for your marriage to Ayin? That day is the tenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar, which is an auspicious day."

"Okay." Li Changzhou smiled.

He was so satisfied that if nothing else happened, he would have left long ago in August.

Lin Ziwen breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the stool as the engagement was not cancelled.

"Nephew Chang Zhou, actually I have one more thing to ask for when I come here this time." Lin Ziwen said hesitantly.

"Please tell me." Li Changzhou was in a good mood at this time.

"Lin's Industrial Bank recently invested in a piece of marine cargo. However, the seaport where the cargo was unloaded was hit by a freeze. The ship was unable to pass for a month. It lost a million yuan. However, the outside world did not know how to spread it, saying that I lost money. Ten million yuan.

"I heard that I lost 10 million yuan. Some depositors were worried that the bank would collapse and queued up to redeem their money, causing a run. It has been three days since this happened and two-thirds of the money in the bank is gone. I am worried that this will happen again. If we go down, the bank is really going to have problems, so please help me, nephew Chang Juxian, to save Lin's Industrial Bank."

He stood up and bowed deeply.

This matter is quite simple. Marshal Li gave Li Changzhou a large amount of money. All he had to do was take some of the change and transfer it to Lin's Industrial Bank.

Is the bank where Mr. Li deposits money still afraid of it going bankrupt? The run trend has naturally disappeared.

But Li Changzhou didn't care whether his wife was Lin Yin or not, and naturally he didn't care whether the Lin family went bankrupt or not. It was better to waste this time and find trouble in those martial arts schools.

He suddenly changed his mind and thought that he was now weak and didn't know anything. Using a little money to win over Lin Ziwen, who was considered a tycoon in the financial industry, might be of some use.

"Uncle, please get up quickly." Li Changzhou stood up and helped Lin Ziwen up, "Your daughter is my fiancée, who can I help if I don't do this? Don't worry, I will send someone to deposit money in your bank this afternoon. !”

His head moved quickly, and he looked like he agreed without even thinking.

"Thank you, nephew!" Lin Ziwen said gratefully, his heart finally falling completely.

For him, life or death is a matter of words for Li Changzhou.

The two chatted for a while. Lin Ziwen saw that Li Changzhou was not very interested in talking, so he smiled and said, "Lin Yin is resting at home these days. Changzhou can play with her more. I'll take my leave today."

After Lin Ziwen left, Li Changzhou called Liu De in again, gave him a check, and asked him to take one million to Lin's Industrial Bank.

"Remember, use my car to go there, and go when there are the most people." He explained.

"Don't worry, Second Master." Liu De followed the order with his fists clasped.

Li Changzhou did not go out, but told the boy that anyone who came to see him must be notified, regardless of the other party's identity.

The news of Mr. Li's assassination should have been spread throughout the streets by newsboys. If there are black card players who know him, they may come to him.

Occupying the identity of the second master of the Li family, he is not afraid of exposing his white card identity. As early as in the 'identity purchase' shop in the waiting hall, he has seen this level of identity purchase - not the specific name, but the 'core of the mission' People' and other slogans.

It's just that the price is so expensive that it feels like you have to sacrifice your own flesh to buy it.

Not only money, but also intelligence to qualify for purchase. The most important thing is that the charm is up to standard, at least it cannot be lower than the original historical figure.

A person with a charm of only 5 cannot buy Pan An's identity even with one million game coins.

Everything has two sides. If you are too attractive, even if you spend one million game coins, you will not be able to buy some identities that are not so good-looking.

The strange thing is that at the end of the day, no one came to see him.

Is it because there is no one who knows him, or does Heika think that it is risky to have contact with a person in the inner circle?

Black Ka did not come to the door, and White Ka did not come to protect him.

Baika's mission is to ensure the death of Marshal Li and Li Bichang, and that he, Li Changzhou, controls the Li family warlord.

As long as Marshal Li and Li Bichang are killed, and Li Changzhou is not dead, he will naturally take power. Logically speaking, the level of protection for him is not low.

However, the three tasks are a math problem. If you complete a part of it, you will get points (evaluation). For example, as long as Marshal Li and Li Bichang die, the white card will be considered as completing part of the task.

There are no points or deductions for wrong answers. For example, if Li Dashuai and Li Bichang are killed, but Li Changzhou is also killed, it will not affect the one point obtained by the white card (Li Dashuai and Li Bichang die). At the same time, the black card can also get one point. (Li Changzhou did not get the right to inherit).

Based on the reactions on the first day, wouldn't both the black and white cards give up on the third mission?

Could it be that Heika thinks——

Anyway, Li Changzhou is one of ours (if you know him), and if his inheritance rights are not certain, it is better to protect Marshal Li and Li Bichang. As long as one of them is alive, he can complete two tasks.

And Baika thought——

To ensure that Li Changzhou inherits the military power, there is no way to assassinate Marshal Li and Li Bichang as convenient and concise-it is impossible for Li Changzhou to commit suicide anyway. When the time comes, we will come back and force him to inherit the military power (it doesn't matter if he dies).

Of course, these are low-income players who have pursuits and will fully plan the first mission (sending troops to defeat the Song warlord).

In the evening, Li Qianxia came again and told him the news about Yang Qinglan.

"I didn't expect to hear news about her so soon." Li Changzhou felt relieved.

"Hehe, I met her first in reality. I also met her first in 1928. I think my fate with her is deeper than that between you and her." Li Qianxia sneered.

"Can it not be too deep? She is my sister-in-law."

"Wow, brother, if you dared to say that in front of her, she would have become my sister-in-law!"

"I'm not in a hurry whether it's morning or evening. Why are you in a hurry?" Li Changzhou said calmly.

"By the way, Qinglan asked you to remember to meet her when you go to the Liyuan tomorrow and discuss anything with us." Li Qianxia thought of business.

"Yeah." Li Changzhou responded.

"Brother." Li Qianxia smiled.

"You want money again?"

"No, no, that's right. Let's not talk about it for now. Qinglan also asked me to tell you something."

"What words?"

"Don't do evil because it's small."

Li Changzhou nodded without any reaction.

Li Qianxia couldn't imagine that someone would not understand such a simple truth, but to be on the safe side, she pretended not to know and asked:

"Brother, what do you think this means?"

"What's so difficult to understand?" Li Changzhou was confused, "It's just telling me that although the characters here are fake, they can't do evil at will and don't regard human life as human life."

On April 27, 1928, a warm spring night, Li Qianxia learned her brother's second habit - she bit the flesh on the right side of her mouth.

She suddenly discovered that Yang Qinglan didn't know how to bargain. In front of her brother's emotional intelligence, she was as cute as a golden kitten.
