Martial Arts: Opening Awakening

Chapter 142

Zhou Yunlong took out a porcelain bottle from his body and threw it down from the shore.

The old boatman hurriedly caught it.

Pull out the cork and pour out two dark pills.

"One per person, after half an hour, the poison will be completely cured." Zhou Yunlong said lightly.

The old boatman hastily gave one to his son, and they ate it together.

Concentrate and calm down, as if sensing the effect of the antidote.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan couldn't help laughing.

With Jiangnan's current medical skills, he can guess the general composition and function of this pill by smelling it through his nose——

This is obviously just an ordinary pill for regulating kidney qi!
It was also the old boatman father and son who were terrified and didn't observe carefully.

If you observe carefully and think back carefully, you will definitely find that the bone-eating broken intestine pill that Zhou Yunlong forcibly fed them at the beginning actually looks exactly like this antidote.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yunlong was just scaring the father and son with this qi-regulating pill worth only a few pennies.

Also.

Cegu Duanchang Pill, just by its name, is very powerful.

Such a powerful poison, even if it exists, is very precious, how can it be wasted on two boatmen who don't even know martial arts? !

"Let's go." Zhou Yunlong ordered to Jiangnan.

Jiangnan nodded.

Jump up and step on the bamboo pole.

There was no support at one end of the bamboo pole, and it was bent immediately under the pressure.

Jiang Nan's expression remained unchanged, he tiptoed, and sprinted on the shaking bamboo pole with precision and stability.

He ran to the place where the bamboo pole was inserted into the bank, stretched out his hand on the protruding stone for a little leverage, and jumped onto the river bank.

With a flash in Zhou Yunlong's eyes, he untied the ship's cable.

The big boat immediately drifted away with the flowing river.

"I will take a step ahead on the Zhaoye Jade Lion to distract the pursuers. Find a place to change your clothes, and then drive carefully. Let's meet up in Linjiang City, and then cross the river together to Jiangnan Road." Zhou Yunlong ordered in a deep voice.

"Okay." Zhou Xiaomeng nodded: "Father, be careful yourself!"

"Ah."

Zhou Yunlong turned his head and said to Jiangnan: "Qingshan, you have rich experience in Jianghu, take care of Xiaomeng more."

"Don't worry, Chief Escort." Jiang Nan nodded.

"drive--"

Zhou Yunlong waved his long whip and galloped away.

"Let's go quickly, too."

Zhou Xiaomeng glanced at the big boat in the river and said.

After such a short time, the thugs from the following two long river gang boats have already climbed onto the big boat where only the boatman and his son were left.

"it is good."

Seeing Jiang Nan nodding, Zhou Xiaomeng immediately performed lightness kung fu and rushed to the distance first.

In the past few times, Jiangnan had given the limelight. Although Zhou Xiaomeng didn't say anything, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Of course, Zhou Xiaomeng didn't think that Jiangnan wasn't really good.

Instead, she thinks that she should not be compared to a small bodyguard master as a majestic Huashan swordsman.

In that courtyard, this little bodyguard once used lightness kung fu to deflate a crippled gangster master.

Zhou Xiaomeng felt that his lightness kung fu might not be worse than that of Jiangnan.

If I also dodge like this little bodyguard by jumping up and down on the roof, the cripple may not be able to do anything against me.

At this moment, after Zhou Yunlong left, Zhou Xiaomeng suddenly wanted to prove this point by killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing Zhou Xiaomeng is like a gentle butterfly, flying away with fluttering clothes.Jiang Nan raised his foot and followed.

Compared with Zhou Xiaomeng's full concentration, Jiangnan is more like a stroll in the courtyard.

Huashan Sword School's lightness kungfu and body technique are light and ingenious, good at moving and jumping.

Dongdao Yejia's "Riding the Wind and Across the Sea" is good at running long distances.

If it's just a comparison of rushing, there really aren't many light exercises in this world that can compare with "Riding the Wind and Crossing the Sea".

After running for more than ten miles, Zhou Xiaomeng found that Jiangnan was still following him unhurriedly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he looked like he still had the strength to spare, knowing that even if he exerted all his strength, he was not an opponent.

Could not help but be greatly discouraged.

Coincidentally, the two of them had arrived at a place where a crowd gathered.

Zhou Xiaomeng's speed gradually slowed down.

"There is a clothing store over there, let's go change our clothes and put on a disguise." Zhou Xiaomeng pointed to a clothing store on the street and said.

"Okay. Dress up as what?" Jiang Nan asked.

"Go in first and see what clothes you have."

The clothing store is not big, and most of them are coarse clothes worn by ordinary people.The only silk clothes of slightly better quality are mostly long gowns worn by the wealthy, which are not suitable for traveling.

After choosing for a long time, Zhou Xiaomeng finally saw the light, pointed to the two moon-white scholar uniforms and said, "How about we pretend to be scholars?"

"Us?" Jiang Nan compared Zhou Xiaomeng's height: "I think it's more appropriate for you to pretend to be a book boy."

"Why? I'm short, so I can't be a scholar?" Zhou Xiaomeng said angrily, "I'm young, I studied early, and I haven't grown tall yet, can't I?"

"Row."

As an adult man, Jiang Nan deeply understands a truth, that is, don't argue with women.

The two borrowed the room of the tailor shop to change their clothes, and then put on the Lun scarves worn by scholars, and immediately became two handsome white-faced scholars.

"Li Xiucai, Xiaosheng is so polite!"

Zhou Xiaomeng clasped her hands together in front of her chest and bowed.

"How about it, do I look like one?" Zhou Xiaomeng said excitedly.

Jiang Nan glanced at the arc of Zhou Xiaomeng's neck, and subconsciously shook his head.

"What's not like?"

Zhou Xiaomeng stretched out his hands and turned them in a circle.

After catching a glimpse of where Jiangnan was looking, she blushed and spat, "Dirty!"

Covering his chest, he hurriedly ran into the fitting room again.

When he came out again, most of the curve on his chest had disappeared. If you didn't observe carefully, it would be really hard to find a pair of treasures hidden there.

"This woman is so cruel to me! Don't you panic because you are so tight?" Jiang Nan cursed in his heart.

He looked away regretfully.

Zhou Xiaomeng let out a cold snort, and ran to the counter to check out.

After leaving the clothing store, I saw a row of horses tied up for sale not far away, including a white horse and a black horse.Moreover, the coat color is relatively pure, and there is almost no need to repaint with dyes.

Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes lit up, and she decided to share the worries of her father who left earlier.

"Boss, how much are these two horses?"

"One horse is 550 taels. If you want two horses, sir, I can give you a discount. A total of 1000 taels will do."

"Okay. I want two horses. This is 1000 taels."

As Zhou Xiaomeng said, he took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, took out one from the bottom, and handed it over.

Jiang Nan glanced at it, and saw that this little rich woman was worth a lot of money, the stack of bank notes added up to five or six thousand taels.

It's just that this little rich woman is too prodigal, she won't even pay back the price for such an expensive item.

Although the two horses are pure in coat color, they are very ordinary in physique. They should be ordinary horses raised in the local area.It was far from the six BMWs from the Western Regions that the Liuyun Escort used to cover up the Zhaoye Jade Lion.

100 taels of silver for a horse is already breaking the sky.

This prodigal girl is lucky, she paid five times the price all of a sudden.

However, it wasn't his own money that was spent, Jiang Nan regretted it, but he didn't feel distressed.

Right now there is no saddle.

Zhou Xiaomeng spent another 100 taels of silver and installed two more sets of saddlery, signaling Jiangnan to lead the black horse, and himself to lead the white horse.

The two left the market and were about to get on their horses when they were surrounded by a group of men.

Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes were fixed, thinking that people from the Changhe Gang had come to the door.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, he heard one of the sultry men yell, "Scholar, how dare you steal our Fifth Master Ma's horse!"

When the man spoke, he was staring at Zhou Xiaomeng.

Zhou Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, but didn't realize that the "smelly scholar" was referring to herself.

Frowning, he said, "Did you recognize the wrong person? This heroine..."

As soon as the word "female heroine" came out, I realized that I was playing the role of a scholar.

He hurriedly changed his words: "This scholar's horse was bought at the market just now. Are you mistaken?"

"What did you buy?" The man stared: "This is obviously a private horse raised by our Wuye Ma's family, and it is never sold outside."

"I don't believe it, look at the inside of the horse's leg, is there a word 'horse' branded on it?"

The man said, and pointed at the base of the white horse's leg.

Zhou Xiaomeng looked down, and sure enough, he found a small word "horse" where the man was pointing.

Suddenly his expression changed.

He thought to himself: "Could it be that the horse I bought was really stolen by the horse seller? If so, I can't tell!"

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?" The man exclaimed triumphantly, "Stealing valuables is a serious crime. Now, I will give you two choices."

"Or, I'll arrest you and report to the yamen, so that the magistrate of the county can revoke your reputation."

"Or, give me all the banknotes on your body..."

As the man spoke, he finally revealed his fox tail.

Even though Zhou Xiaomeng had no experience in the world, he immediately realized that he must have exposed his wealth when he bought the horse just now, and was targeted by these scoundrels.

just.

What Zhou Xiaomeng didn't expect was that it was such a coincidence that the horse belonged to the other party's "stolen goods" and immediately had an exclusive mark belonging to the other party.

It's hard to argue!
However, although Zhou Xiaomeng lacked experience in the world, he didn't know that this was actually a trap set by the other party early in the morning. Regardless of whether he revealed his wealth or not, he would be blackmailed by the other party, but he was not as pedantic as a real scholar.

Seeing that things couldn't get better, the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.

"Swipe, swipe, swipe—"

The sword light flickered, and before the man could react, he had already shaved off the opponent's hair.

The man's body trembled and his legs went limp.

The other men around were also dumbfounded and terrified.

Zhou Xiaomeng seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

He took out another 1000 taels of silver from his bosom and said, "This is 1000 taels of silver. We bought these two horses stolen by others!"

"Bring the bank note, and we'll pay for both money and goods."

As Zhou Xiaomeng said, he was about to hand the banknote to the bald man.

Jiang Nan shook his head and smiled wryly as he watched.

This prodigal daughter.

After a while, nearly one-tenth of Liuyun Escort's property was lost.

If Zhou Yunlong saw this scene, he would probably be pissed off!
The bald head never dreamed that things would turn around like this.At the moment when Zhou Xiaomeng showed his force, he thought he was going to be kicked by the iron plate and hurt his toes and broken his ankles.

Unexpectedly, this iron plate turned out to be a fool...

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Nan opened his mouth and stopped Zhou Xiaomeng's movements.

Everyone turned their attention to Jiangnan.

"You said this is your Ma family's horse, this small brand alone is not enough!"

"The word 'horse' can be branded in addition to Ma Lao Wu, Ma Lao Liu, Ma Lao Qi, and Ma Lao Ba."

"If I give you the bank note, Ma Lao Liu and Ma Lao Qi will also say that the horse belongs to them later, what should we do?"

"Unless you call it and it agrees, it can prove that it is really yours." Jiang Nan said solemnly.

"Uh, how could the horse agree? If you have the ability, tell it to take a look." The bald man said angrily.

He felt that the tall scholar was very bad, and he was obviously trying to make excuses.

Although the horse can understand simple human words, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree.

"Okay, that's what you said." Jiang Nanxie smiled charmingly, and told the black horse he was holding in his hand: "Good horse, hit him for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the black horse rushed a few steps, and directly knocked the bald man who was caught off guard.

"Step on him!" Jiang Nan continued to order.

"tread!"

The black horse raised its hooves, and then stepped on the bald head's chest.

The bald head was terrified, a lazy donkey rolled over, and narrowly escaped.

Jiang Nan didn't let the dark horse continue, and said with a slight smile, "How is it? Listen to me, the dark horse is mine, right?"

"Do you want me to call Baima again?" Jiang Nan added maliciously.

"No! No need!" The bald head hurriedly waved his hand.

This black horse is just an ordinary horse that they use to set up tricks and play fairy jumps every day. The bald head is very familiar with it. Apart from its good looks, there is nothing special about it.

Who knows-

In the hands of this white-faced scholar, it turned out to be so miraculous!

"Sorcerer arts! This scholar must know how to use black arts!" The bald head thought in horror.

At the moment, he didn't care about anything, got up, turned around and ran.

The thoughts of other people are obviously the same as the bald head.

Of these two scholars, one has amazing swordsmanship and the other has terrifying sorcery skills.Don't you run away sooner and stay to die?
Watching the few extortionist scum leave, Zhou Xiaomeng curiously patted the dark horse and then Jiangnan.

Touch Jiangnan, touch the dark horse...

"what are you doing?"

Jiang Nan angrily pushed Zhou Xiaomeng away to touch his palm.

"Can this horse really understand human speech?"

Zhou Xiaomeng asked curiously.

"Of course." Jiang Nan nodded solemnly.

"Then I'll try." Zhou Xiaomeng said, and shouted at the black horse: "Xiao Hei, give sister a smile!"

Dark Horse: ...

Jiangnan:  …

"Ahem... can horses laugh?" Jiang Nan put his hand on his forehead.

"Can't horses know?" Zhou Xiaomeng asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"How do I know. You ask it yourself." Jiang Nan said angrily.

"Xiao Hei, can you laugh?"

"If you can laugh, you nod. If you can't, you shake your head."

"Are you going to laugh...

Facing Zhou Xiaomeng's strange operation, the dark horse didn't react at all except staring at the horse's eyes in bewilderment.

"It ignored me." Zhou Xiaomeng said with a pursed mouth.

"Hahaha……"

Jiangnan finally couldn't help laughing.

In this world, there are such silly little girls!
"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jiang Nan almost lost his temper without laughing.

Hearing Jiangnan's laughter, Zhou Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was being tricked by Jiangnan!
In addition to being angry, I was also puzzled.

Then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that what you used just now is the legendary method of dementing souls?"

"Huh? What is the soul-stirring technique?" Jiang Nan looked confused.

"Hmph! Don't try to lie to me!" Zhou Xiaomeng looked arrogant and arrogant while holding a wisdom pearl: "The only ones who can control animals are the beast-controlling methods of the Nanman wizards, and the Xuannvgong's soul-absorbing method and other magical mysteries." technique."

"The one you used just now must be Xuannv Palace's Conjuring Soul Dafa!" Zhou Xiaomeng's tone was firm.

"Oh? Then why can't it be the method of controlling beasts?" Jiang Nan asked curiously.
