Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 174 What Chicken?

Qinghe County, Jiaofangsi.

Zhou Ping, Scar and Li Jin fought each other.

Zhou Ping used object control skills to delay Li Jin's movements, and Scar hit Li Jin with a hammer.

But Li Jin is, after all, a fifth-rank Confucian and a seventh-rank warrior.

Although the object control technique could slow down Li Jin's movements, it only made him pause for a moment. Zhou Ping couldn't make him stay still.

Li Jin broke free from control and dodged backwards.

The hammer fell to the ground and there was a wooden table on the ground.

Zhou Ping waved his fingers and moved the wooden table away using his object control technique, preventing Scar from smashing the table.

"This is made of huanghuali wood. If it is broken, you will have to pay five taels of silver!" the old procuress shouted.

The three of them fought again.

However, because of what the madam said, the three of them tried their best to avoid things from the Music Bureau.

Li Jin is a speed-type fighter. He is very fast and uses his strength skillfully, so he seldom touches anything from the Jiaofangsi.

Scar was a powerful fighter, and he would have smashed the things of the Jiaofangsi if he wasn't careful. Fortunately, Zhou Ping was there, and he moved the things that were about to be smashed away.

The three of them were fighting back and forth in a small space.

"My goodness, I thought I was already at the eighth level and was far ahead, but I didn't expect Zhou Ping to be more powerful than me!" Although Scar is not afraid of death, he is not stupid.

Li Jin's strength is enough to beat several of him.

But after Zhou Ping and Scar joined forces, Li Jin was unable to gain any advantage.

What’s more important is that whenever he wanted to smash the things of the Jiaofangsi, Zhou Ping would be able to move them away. His ability to control the situation was really strong.

Scar couldn't help but think of the time when he and Yan Yi teamed up to deal with a seventh-rank warrior during the escort mission, but were beaten by the opponent.

"Zhou Ping is stronger than me and Miss Yan!" Scar became more and more courageous as the battle went on. With his brother Zhou Ping backing him up, Scar attacked Li Jin fearlessly.

Scar doesn't have any advanced martial arts skills, he just relies on brute force.

The more Li Jin was hit, the gloomier his face became. He didn't expect these two guys to be so difficult to deal with.

"It's not these two who are difficult to deal with, but this Zhou Ping." Li Jin's eyes were always on Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping basically no longer participated in the battle, but instead used his object control skills to help Scar from behind, and would occasionally make a feint and make a slash.

"Damn it! If I had used all my strength, I would have killed these two guys!" Li Jin has his own trump card, but his trump card has side effects, so he usually won't use it unless he is in a life-and-death crisis.

Wang Cheng looked at Zhou Ping's performance and could hardly contain the joy on his face. He also knew that Zhou Ping played a leading role in this battle.

Wang Cheng even had an illusion. I can do it too!

Of course, Wang Cheng didn't want to deal with Li Jin alone. He felt that if he and Zhou Ping joined forces, they might be able to fight against the seventh rank.

"Xiao Leng, I didn't expect Zhou Ping to be so powerful, don't you think?" Wang Cheng said with a smile on his face.

Captain Leng gritted his teeth and snorted. This was the first time Wang Cheng called him "Xiao Leng".

Captain Leng roared in his heart: Damn it! Who gave you the courage to call me Xiao Leng! Was it Zhou Ping?

Captain Leng was in a state of uncertainty. He had not expected Zhou Ping to grow to this level. He was an eighth-rank officer, so he knew how strong a seventh-rank officer was, and he also knew how strong Li Jin was.

Because Li Jin is very strong, Zhou Ping must not be weak.

"Zhou Ping, let the ghost bride help you. She has at least an eighth-grade cultivation level, right?" Wang Cheng reminded.

When Captain Leng heard Wang Cheng's words, his face darkened even more: "Damn it, I forgot that this kid has a ghost bride to protect him. The ghost bride is really tricky."

Captain Leng was also a little wary of Zhou Ping at this time.

Captain Leng has always looked down on Zhou Ping. He felt that Zhou Ping only dared to carry out missions in the tunnel because of the ghost bride, and that his eighth-grade cultivation was obtained with external forces.

But judging from Zhou Ping's current combat power, his combat power is not weaker than that of himself, who is at the eighth level.

If the ghost bride were to be included, Captain Leng would have no chance of winning at all.

Wang Cheng's words also surprised Li Jin. Ghost bride? What kind of ghost? An eighth-grade ghost?
Li Jin was startled and his movements slowed down.

Scar seized the opportunity and chopped Li Jin with his hammer.

After Li Jin blocked the attack, Zhou Ping said, "Discard the hammer."

Scar understood what he meant, and let go of the purple gold hammer with both hands. Then he freed his hands and punched Li Jin.

"I can't dodge!" Li Jin was shocked. He didn't expect Scar to abandon the hammer and punch him instead, and he had no chance to dodge.

At this time, Li Jin could only endure the scar.

Li Jin came to Qinghe County with the escort agency. He had some understanding of the big man named Scar. He knew that this man was born with great strength and his eighth-grade strength was comparable to that of a seventh-grade man.

Even if he doesn't die from this punch, he will probably be seriously injured.

Li Jin mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, then gathered it in his chest, ready to fight Scar head-on.

"Snapped!"

A slap blocked Scar's fist, making it impossible for Scar to move forward.

It was the head of the Yan family who blocked Scar's punch.

Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

When Scar saw that it was the head of the Yan family, he was stunned for a while and stopped talking. Instead, he put away the purple gold hammer and walked with Zhou Ping.

Li Jin is a friend of Patriarch Yan. Now that Patriarch Yan is here, this fight can't start.

"Brother Li, my two children are ignorant, so please be merciful." The head of the Yan family said to Li Jin with a smile.

Li Jin snorted coldly and stopped talking. If it weren't for the Yan family master's move, he would have been hit by Scar's punch.

Since the head of the Yan family gave him a way out, Li Jin just went down the stairs.

"Why don't you two apologize to Senior Li?" The head of the Yan family looked at Zhou Ping and Scar.

Scar snorted coldly, turned his head and clasped his fists towards Li Jin, while Zhou Ping smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, senior."

The head of the Yan family looked at Zhou Ping with admiration in his eyes. He had long known that there were two eighth-grade escorts in the escort agency.

One is Scar and the other is Zhou Ping.

Scar's cultivation was achieved through his own practice, while Zhou Ping's cultivation reached the eighth level with the help of external forces.

The head of the Yan family also heard that Zhou Ping was timid and was only willing to walk through tunnels because he had a ghost bride by his side.

The head of the Yan family also looked down on Zhou Ping in the past.

However, when the three of them were fighting just now, the head of the Yan family was already there.

The head of the Yan family is a seventh-rank official. He has already seen that Zhou Ping's strength is above Scar's, and he still has some reservations.

"Zhou Ping must have hidden his cultivation level. He is not only at the eighth level, or even at the eighth level, but he also has cultivation levels in other ways." The head of the Yan family was very experienced and saw the secret of Zhou Ping's cultivation level at a glance.

"In addition to his cultivation, this boy is generous and elegant, and he is a talented person with great potential." The head of the Yan family looked at Zhou Ping with satisfaction, which made Zhou Ping feel a little embarrassed.

This look is like the way a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law.

The Jiaofangsi returned to peace again.

The head of the Yan family took Li Jin away, and Wang Cheng joined Zhou Ping and others in the drinking party.

"Come on, brother Scar, brother Chen Erdan, I'll treat you to a drink." Wang Cheng toasted the three of them.

Scar was still angry. He looked at his fist, which was just a little bit away from hitting Li Jin. He drank the bowl of wine in one gulp: "It's really unpleasant."

Wang Cheng knew that Scar was an eighth-grade master, and he also wanted to make friends with him: "It's unpleasant, it's like something was about to be released, but it went back." The three of them didn't expect Wang Cheng to drive, and they all laughed. Especially Chen Erdan, Scar was easy to say, after all, he was an eighth-grade master, and Scar's cultivation level was actually not qualified to sit at the table.

"Captain Wang, I'd like to toast you on behalf of my brother." Chen Erdan said and drank it in one gulp.

Wang Cheng also gave Chen Erdan face. Chen Erdan's elder brother worked in the government office, and his status was much lower than Wang Cheng's.

Several people were talking and laughing, and from time to time girls came into the room to serve tea.

"Hey, Zhou Ping, I haven't seen you for a long time." Mingyue was wearing a low-V neckline that exposed her breasts today, and her breasts were almost about to burst out. After she came in, she leaned on Zhou Ping.

The rest of the people stared with wide eyes.

Wang Cheng said with a click of his tongue: "Zhou Ping, even if County Magistrate Lu came, I have never seen Miss Mingyue take the initiative to dress like this."

Mingyue whispered in Zhou Ping's ear: "Brother, please stay tonight."

Zhou Ping smiled awkwardly: "Sister, who is older between us?"

Mingyue sat on Zhou Ping's lap and laughed: "Forget it, you like the older one. As long as you stay here tonight, you can call me sister, elder sister, or aunt, or even less."

One word missing? Zhou Ping was sweating profusely.

The other three looked at each other and exchanged glances: Let’s go.

"Zhou Ping, I'll pay for your consumption tonight, except for Miss Mingyue, of course."

"That's 10,000 taels. I can't afford it."

"But judging from her expression, if it's you, Miss Mingyue will most likely throw herself at you."

"Hey, don't go, don't go, let's go together."

Under the cover of night, Li Jin and the head of the Yan family were talking about something.

"Oh, I'm so unhappy, especially that Zhou Ping. His skill of controlling objects really makes me uncomfortable. If it weren't for the Music Bureau, I could kill both of them in an instant." Li Jin said hatefully.

The head of the Yan family said: "Zhou Ping is a scholar, and his poems are very famous. Killing a scholar is a serious crime in the Wei Dynasty!"

Li Jin snorted coldly and said nothing. Ordinary scholars can be killed by pretending to be an accident, but if someone like Zhou Ping who wrote famous poems cannot be killed, it will be a huge trouble.

"Brother Li, how are the others doing except you regarding the thing I asked you to do back then?" the head of the Yan family suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Li Jin said immediately, but he thought for a moment, "There were five people in that group, two died on the spot, and one was seriously injured and died not long after. Only me and another person were left."

Li Jin remembered what the head of the Yan family said.

At the beginning, Li Jin and the other five people were all of the tenth rank.

Five tenth-grade warriors fought against one tenth-grade lame uncle, but two of them were killed on the spot and one was seriously injured and died.

"I have to say, your junior brother is really amazing. If his foundation hadn't been damaged back then, his current achievements might be much higher than yours!" Li Jin said sarcastically.

The Yan family head's face darkened and he said nothing. The killing of his junior brother was the deepest secret in the Yan family head's heart!
Except for the few people involved, the head of the Yan family has never told anyone else about this matter.

"Is there still one person alive?" The head of the Yan family murmured to himself.

Li Jin looked at the head of the Yan family and suddenly said, "Old Yan, do you want to kill people to silence them?"

The head of the Yan family was slightly stunned, and immediately shook his head and said: "Not to mention that there is another person I don't even know where he is, even if it's you, I can't beat him."

Li Jin snorted coldly and said nothing. He really thought that the head of the Yan family wanted to kill him to silence him.

"My junior brother seems to know what happened back then. Although I don't know who told him, I have a feeling that he knows." Half of the face of the head of the Yan family was hidden in the moonlight, and the other half looked extremely dark.

Li Jin immediately laughed and said, "When he became disabled, I told him that since I took your money, I had to do things right. I wanted to kill him, but you wouldn't let me."

The head of the Yan family remained silent.

In order to marry his junior sister, the head of the Yan family sent someone to assassinate his junior brother.

Afterwards, although Uncle Lame did not die, he became disabled.

Li Jin did say at the beginning that he wanted to kill Uncle Lame to prevent future troubles, but the head of the Yan family hesitated.

"I now hope that you can fulfill your original promise."

"No."

"why?"

"You have to pay more!"

The next day, Qinglong Mountain.

Qinglong Mountain has become another holy place for digging herbs in Qinghe County.

Although there are medicinal herbs in Yaowang Mountain, those that are older have all been dug up.

Qinglong Mountain is different.

No one knows which powerful person brought this mountain from somewhere. The herbs on it are all from old years, even thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can be found.

Therefore, there are many people collecting herbs on Qinglong Mountain.

In addition to the people who collect herbs, there are also many foreign cultivators on the mountain.

Some people have already found many magical weapons left behind by the Demon Lord on Qinglong Mountain.

"Zhou Ping, you really amaze everyone with your skills."

There were several people on the mountain path.

Zhou Ping, Liu Ruyan, Yan Yi, He Yunqing, Yuan Gong, Chen Erdan and Scar.

They came here for an outing.

Zhou Ping didn't want to come, but he couldn't resist Liu Ruyan's offensive.

Xiaobai hung around Zhou Ping's waist, sometimes turning into a cat and sometimes turning into a human.

Yan Yi: "You really are amazing."

Xiaobai had just turned from a cat into a human, and Zhou Ping quickly held her in his arms, fearing that she would fall to the ground, so he didn't hear clearly what Yan Yi said.

Yan Yi already knew about the fight between Zhou Ping Daoba and Li Jin.

The royal city made a big fuss about it, and everyone in Qinghe County knew that Zhou Ping was a master who could use magic.

"What chicken?" Zhou Ping asked.

Yan Yi was slightly stunned and spat.

Scar and Chen Erdan looked at each other and saw the smirk in each other's eyes.

"I don't know whether Zhou Ping's skill is amazing or not, but I know he uses his left hand," Chen Erdan said with a smile.

Scar said seriously: "He was indeed shocked! I've seen it."

The two people's words made Yan Yi's face turn red instantly.

As for Liu Ruyan and He Yunqi, their faces became even redder. They had no choice but to turn their heads away and look elsewhere so as not to let others see their embarrassment.

But Liu Ruyan still secretly glanced at Zhou Ping.

Liu Ruyan still had a fake scar on her face, but she was wearing a veil today so the ugliness on her face could not be seen.

The veil makes Liu Ruyan look flawless, making her look extremely seductive.

On a tree branch not far away, Li Jin squatted in the bushes and looked at Zhou Ping and his companions. He looked at Liu Ruyan again and again: "No wonder Zhou Ping likes women. I can't help but want to make a move."

Li Jin reluctantly turned his gaze away from Liu Ruyan and leaped in another direction.

Just in the other direction of Qinglong Mountain, Uncle Bo is also there!
