Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 110 Convoy
Time flies, and it's May in an instant.

The Tongfu Escort did not pass through Qinghe County in April as stated in the biography.

Zhao Lin didn't think it was strange either. He knew something about the way things were done in this business. He said he would come in April, but he made a feint. It's normal to come in May or even June.

Most of the local bodyguards would not have any objections, after all, they often did the same thing.

During this period of time, Zhao Lin calmed down. Apart from performing his duties in the county government, he devoted himself to practicing kung fu every day, focusing on Guihai Jue and Guijia Jin.

Through Gui Hai Jue, he has accumulated enough strength, and he has already started to attack the acupoints on the six Yin Meridians.

Yang meridians are on the outside and yin meridians are on the inside. Breaking through the acupoints on the yin meridians is even more difficult. It takes Zhao Lin one to two days to conquer a single acupoint.

Of course, the difficulty is compared with himself. If someone knows that Zhao Lin has broken through a yin meridian acupoint so quickly, it is probably too late for envy.
Guijiajin controlled sixteen acupoints at the same time at the beginning, and increased to twenty.

Not only has the defense area expanded, but its strength has also increased a lot.

Zhao Lin called Liang Song to the house on Shuncheng Street and asked him to chop himself with a knife.

Liang Song had already successfully trained the skin and reached the first level of the strength realm. He didn't dare to use his strength at first, but he cut it a few times and found that he only scratched a few pieces of clothes, and Zhao Lin was unharmed.

"Huh? What kind of kung fu are you doing?"

"Tortoise Shell Strength, you need to work harder!"

"Is beheading okay?"

"Don't do it, this exercise can only protect the upper body."

Liang Song nodded, and continued to increase his strength until he exhausted all his strength, but still couldn't break through Zhao Lin's defense, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"This kung fu is too tough, it's almost invulnerable!"

Zhao Lin didn't show any complacency on his face, he shook his head and said, "Invulnerability depends on who you're facing, if you have more strength, I won't be able to resist."

"And it also depends on the weapon used by the opponent. If it is a sharp blade with a small force like a gun and arrow, it can also break through from the middle."

Liang Song put the knife back into its sheath, enviously said: "It's already amazing!"

He has known Zhao Lin for more than a year, and he has become accustomed to all kinds of unreasonable things that happened to Zhao Lin. He quickly regained his composure and asked, "The tortoise shell strength is so powerful, why haven't I seen others practice it..."

Before he finished speaking, he asked himself and answered: "I know, it must be very difficult to practice."

……

Guzhe is surrounded by steep and flat mountains.

More than 200 miles to the west of Qinghe County, there is a place that looks like mountains but not mountains, and looks like stones but not stones. It is called Hulugu.

Gourd Gu is not rich in trees, but overgrown with rocks and weeds. From a distance, it looks like a big upside-down gourd, hence the name.

"Ningchuan is blessed with me..."

A convoy with the flag of the Tongfu Escort was moving forward on the muddy road after the rain. The riders in the front row shouted loudly, and the wheels of the cars made two deep ruts on the ground.

"It's already out of the boundary of Mount Baitu, so it should be safe?"

Yu Haizhou rode on a strong green-maned horse, looked at Hulu Gu in the distance, and muttered softly.

Although he said so on his lips, there was a trace of worry hidden between his brows.

The head of the young escort is young and vigorous, because of a dispute over the mountain fee, he has a stalemate with the bandits of Mount Paektu, the Diamond Mountain Leopard, and he does not agree with it.

There is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. No matter how strong the bodyguard is, it cannot open the way purely with fists. How many nails can it twist with a body covered in iron?
It's not easy for the old escort to start a business, and he can't stand such a toss.

To put it bluntly, if the Tongfu Escorts fought recklessly with the bandits, they would end up taking advantage of others.

Fortunately, although the chief escort is stubborn, he also knows to respect an "veteran" like himself.

It was under his own persuasion that the bodyguard bureau hadn't received any bodyguards passing through Mount Baitu for two months, and the new business it received was not expensive.

In case something happens, the Escort will not lose too much.

"Hope you're safe!"

Thinking of this, Yu Haizhou sighed silently.

"Master Yu, the lead car is stuck in the pit and can't get out!" The driver in the front row ran over, panting.

"Show me."

Yu Haizhou lightly clamped the horse's belly, came to the front of the team, glanced at the mud pit, and felt a "thump" in his heart.

……

In a forest in the southwest of Hulugu, dozens of pairs of sneaky eyes are watching the convoy in the distance. The owners of the eyes may be standing or sitting.

"Second Master, when will you do it? The convoy has stopped."

The bandit leader beside Xu Mabang asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, wait for them to pass Hulugu, and then cover and kill them."

Xu Mabang grabbed the water bag and took a big gulp, then fanned the wind twice with his coat, as if he wasn't in a hurry.

The little boss asked puzzledly: "The convoy can't move now, let's kill them now, just to catch them off guard, why wait?"

"You know shit!"

Xu Mabang said disdainfully, "When the two armies are fighting, morale is the most important. They saw the hole in the ground and thought we were coming, but I can't go."

"After they've been nervous for a long time, thinking that it's all right, and we suddenly appear again, the string in their hearts will not be stretched."

At this time, Wang Mazi came over with a cured iron knife, waved his hand, and drove away the little boss, squatting down and said in a low voice, "Second brother, do you think that kid surnamed Zhao will take advantage of the chaos and sneak attack us?"

Xu Mabang's eyes darkened, he took a sip, and said coldly: "This time when we go out of the mountain, everyone is carrying bows and arrows, and Yang Dan also borrowed two teams of crossbowmen for us, what is there to worry about?"

"It's best if he doesn't come, if he dares to come, tie him into a hedgehog!"

……

On a small hill not far from the woods where the bandits were hiding, Zhao Lin and Liang Song crouched in the grass, looking in the direction of Hulu Gu.

"It seems that the bandits want to rob the darts. If there is a fight, how about we help the escort bureau deal with the bandits?"

Liang Song touched Zhao Lindao.

"It may not be possible to fight."

Zhao Lin looked away and shook his head slightly.

Liang Song wondered, "Why?"

Zhao Lin explained: "The bandits are numerous and powerful, and their strength is obviously superior. When encountering such a situation, unless the escorts are special, they will not really fight to the death."

"Otherwise the goods will be gone, and the people will be dead. What are you trying to do? Just look at it, as long as the leader is not a fool, he will choose to admit it."

Liang Song thought for a while, and said, "You can save your life by handing over the goods? Bandits don't kill people to silence them?"

Zhao Lin shook his head, "No, it's not that the bandits have any good intentions. They robbed the goods and slaughtered them all. That's a situation of endless death."

"As long as there is no deep hatred between the two sides, there is usually a front line for each other in doing things."

Liang Song was skeptical, and calmed down to observe silently.

After a while, the convoy started again, passed Hulugu, and less than two miles away, the bandits suddenly came out of the woods.

The convoy was in chaos at first, and then a Pentecost bodyguard stepped forward to negotiate with the bandits alone.

The distance between the two was too far to hear what they said, but not long after, the bodyguard came back on horseback, and left with the bodyguards, leaving only the carriage parked where it was.

Liang Song looked regretful and sighed, "I really didn't fight."

Zhao Lin smiled and said, "That's good, now the bandits have become bodyguards, and we have become robbers."
