Chapter 56 Hook Bar
"If Elder Yang really comes to snatch people, I will send Elder Shang away and let him fight back!"

Ke Yansheng took Chen Ku back to the slaughterhouse and said to himself:
"Fortunately, Chen Ku did not perform his cudgel technique today. This can be considered as Elder Shang's foresight. Otherwise, if he had really given him the Thousand Jun Cudgel a month in advance and taught him how to use it, what a scene that would have been."

In short, it would be better for Chen Kushao to participate in such meaningless monthly exams less frequently in the future.

Our own students are excellent, just like a big cabbage. We are reluctant to pick them. The most feared thing is that they will be snatched away by students from other schools.

…………

Inside Jinshiyuan.

An old man with a tall stature and a strong body, with his hands hanging naturally, stood in front of a gilded long stick that was about nine feet long and was gilded all over, and cursed with a smile:

"Shang Yunfang, ah Shang Yunfang, you old sly, shameless old man, isn't it just a trick? You're hiding it from me, are you afraid that I'll snatch that boy away? Am I that despicable!?"

Shang Yunfang stood not far from Mr. Yang, smoking his pipe, looking askance, not looking at him:
"Hard to say."

This old fellow is known as the 'Northern Yang' in the entire Baojiao County, and his counterpart is the 'Southern Li' of the Yulong Society, both of whom are in charge of the same sect.

In terms of cultivation, he had long reached the threshold of "Yi Jin", which was one and a half levels higher than himself. He was also older than himself, and had mastered the first nine of the ten styles of "Violent Ape Thousand-pound Stick" to perfection.

All these factors combined can be said to be the undisputed face of Yaowang Hall.

The premise is...

It would be better if you could be more honest and less shameless in your daily life.

"Little guy... you look down on me, Yang Luchan, too much. Since I accepted that only disciple, the relationship between master and disciple is deep. It is enough for me to pass on my mantle to one person. I will not look down on anyone else."

Yang Lin, whose courtesy name is Luchan, is from Yanmenthai Village, Baojiao County. In his early years, he "sold coal and soil", "worked as a cook", and "set up a grain stall". Finally, by chance, he entered the Yaowangtang branch in Chenjia Town. Coincidentally, at that time, a master chef from the previous generation of Jinshiyuan was teaching in Chenjia Town, so he accepted this old man as an apprentice. Later, after several trainings, he actually forged a "white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple gold beam spanning the sea" for Yaowangtang, which even the master chef from the previous generation of Jinshiyuan had not expected.

Apart from his bad reputation, it can be said that in terms of martial arts, he is second only to one person in Baojiao County.

Of course, Yang Lin promised with confidence.

Shang Yunfang still had two words: "It's hard to say."

"Believe it or not, I have said that I will not pass it on to anyone else, so I will not pass it on to anyone else. Just put your mind at ease!"

"Then let's talk about other things... Recently, there is a group of people who are trying to steal our business. Although they are still active in the countryside, they have already touched the foundation of our Yaowangtang."

"Tell me more specifically?"

"That group of people treated their illnesses for free."

"Hmm? Free?"

…………

Chen Ku returned to the slaughterhouse and began to ponder over the fundamental diagram.

"My fight with Jiang Shaoyou today gave me a lot of feelings..."

He replayed the duel in his mind.

The first is Jiang Shaoyou's "combination of moves and strength". The moves contain special strength, shaking and pulling, just like a drill.

Chen Ku held the bone-cutting knife and waved it in front of him.

"Master Ke said that the rolling knife force in the bone-cutting and butchering knife is also like this. The key lies in how to integrate this force into the moves, or grow it on the body so that the moves can be used anytime and anywhere."

As someone who had already been fed with strength by Ke Yansheng, he already had some advantages over others in the process of mastering the rolling knife force.

"There is also a secret power in the Chaotianyigun, which is a kind of 'sucking power' that can absorb the airflow in the surrounding environment. There are also methods of exerting power, which all require careful practice to master."

Chen Ku closed his eyes and pondered slowly:

"But the prerequisite is that you have to get a good stick to use it."

Now I'm off work.

Chen Ku went to the black market and sold all the herbs, tiger bones, and ox-horn bamboo shoots he had accumulated.

Received 160 taels of silver.

The next day after work, in the middle of the night.

Chen Ku planned to go to the firewood and iron shop. After all, if he didn't have weapons for a day, his training would be delayed for a day. So he might as well bleed. It was an investment in himself after all.

Who would have expected.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Yaowang Hall, he met Jiang Shaoyou at the door. "Brother Chen? Are you going out?" Jiang Shaoyou took the initiative to come over and greeted him with a smile: "How are your legs? I took that sneak kick from you, and now it's still a little sore."

Chen Ku's legs weren't sore, not because he had a good constitution, but because he had taken some tiger-head ginseng to nourish his body. The little bruise, combined with the power of the medicine, healed in half an evening.

However, it must be said that after these two contacts with Jiang Shaoyou, his impression of this young master has improved a lot.

Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was not arrogant and had a broad mind.

He returned the greeting with a polite smile and said:

"Yes, I plan to buy a handy weapon."

"weapon?"

Jiang Shaoyou suddenly realized something and said with a smile:

"Indeed, with Junior Brother Chen's natural strength, ordinary sticks and weapons would not be able to withstand your control."

Since the other party has changed the subject.

Chen Ku simply wanted to ask a few more questions. After all, the other party was a well-known family and force in Baojiao County, and in some aspects, they were more familiar with it than himself:

"Well, Senior Brother Jiang, do you know which iron shop has better weapons?"

"A firewood and iron shop? It's indeed a good place to buy weapons."

Jiang Shaoyou was halfway through his words when he suddenly smiled bitterly at Chen:
"However, if you really want a handy weapon, I have a different way. It doesn't cost any money. Do you want to listen to it?"

"No need to spend money?"

Chen Ku immediately became cautious.

Things that don't cost money are often the most expensive.

Seeing Chen Ku's expression, Jiang Shaoyou smiled and said:
"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything else. I have a friend who is going to a party. He is a descendant of a military meritorious officer. We respectfully call him 'Mr. Chai'. He likes to make friends, especially young friends with similar interests and abilities. He gathers 30 to 50 heroes from all over the county and keeps them at home. When he meets someone he admires, he gives him weapons and gold. Even I have received a sword from him."

"After you have achieved great success in the martial arts examination?"

Chen Ku was surprised.

Wusheng is a ninth-rank official.

The military examination is a seventh-rank honor.

No wonder he is called Mr. Chai, considering his official status is equal to that of the Magistrate of Baojiao County.

"It's the blessing of his ancestors. But even if his ancestors had one, the blessing has been passed down for three or four generations. In his generation, there are also people in the family who have passed the exam to become martial artists."

Jiang Shaoyou smiled and said:
"How about it? If you're interested, the party will be tonight. I'll take you around?"

Chen thought hard for a while.

This seems like an opportunity to see higher circles?

Apart from anything else, as the young master of Tongwenguan and a hero in the martial arts examination, he is definitely a second-generation figure.

In any world.

The level is determined by the circle. If a little information from casual conversation among some classes is leaked, it is enough to change the life and destiny of people outside the circle.

perhaps……

By getting in touch with this high-level circle, could he get some information and find a way to make money more easily?

So, he took a deep breath and said:

"Then I'll ask you to take me to see the world."

"Okay, don't worry, no one will look down on you over there. People with abilities will be looked up to everywhere."

Jiang Shaoyou said:
"We'll meet at the county's 'Perfume Pavilion' in an hour."

"Perfume Pavilion?"

“A place for listening to music.”

"Uh, okay."
