This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 78 Transformation
Liu's Martial Arts School.

In the backyard martial arts training ground, Luo Zijun was continuing to practice Kaishan Fist.

The afternoon sun is still scorching.

After a few rounds of punches, he was already sweating profusely.

The muscles and bones all over my body began to ache.

But we can't stop at this time.

To temper the body is to squeeze out the last bit of strength from the body and push the skin, muscles, and bones all over the body to their endurance limits.

During this period, Yang Kaiming came once.

In addition to teaching him boxing moves, he also taught him how to stand still.

"Although it is a boxing technique, only when the lower body is stable, the whole body is coordinated and tense like a bow can the full power of the fist be unleashed..."

After Luo Zijun finished practicing boxing, he practiced standing still for a while.

Until the sun sets.

At this time, all his strength was exhausted, his body was sore all over, his muscles were twitching and painful, and even walking was painful.

But he still insisted on taking a shower.

After taking a shower, he found that his skin seemed to be more radiant in the sunlight.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect.

After leaving the martial arts gym.

He dragged his tired and sore body to the Warrior Pharmacy.

He spent another ten taels of silver to buy medicinal materials for the medicinal bath.

According to Senior Brother Yang, the first time you start practicing is when you consume the most medicinal materials, and you have to change the medicinal materials for the medicinal bath almost every day.

Because the body has just begun to be tempered and is still very fragile.

If you don't take medicinal baths frequently, your body will definitely not be able to hold on.

Therefore, at the beginning of the practice, money really flowed like water, and new herbs had to be purchased every day.

Return to Baoan Hall.

Su Qingling was sitting alone behind the counter, with her chin resting on her hands, in a daze.

When I saw him, I ignored him.

Luo Zijun took the initiative to greet her: "Hey, Senior Sister, how come I find that you are getting more and more beautiful recently?"

There is no way, the hand that takes from others is grateful, and the mouth that eats from others is soft.

Since you are going to use someone else's place for a medicinal bath, your mouth should naturally be a little sweeter.

Su Qingling rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Luo Zijun put down the herbs and went to boil water first.

Then, while the water was boiling, he fetched a basin of water and started cleaning the shop.

Sweep the floor, mop the floor, wipe the tables, chairs and cabinets.

"Sister, do you need me to clean upstairs?"

Although I am very tired, I still have to do the work.

Su Dafang's voice came from upstairs: "No, go take a bath."

Luo Zijun looked up and said, "Master, have you had dinner yet? Do you want me to buy it for you? Or go to the kitchen and help you make it?"

"Can you cook?"

Su Dafang asked in surprise.

Luo Zijun said: "No."

"No, what did you say?"

"I am using your place to take a bath, but I feel embarrassed, so I said some sweet words to coax you."

"Get lost! Hypocrites!"

"okay!"

Luo Zijun immediately went to the woodshed at the back.

After a while.

Su Qingling left the counter and went to the back.

When she came to the door of the woodshed and stood at the window looking inside, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Senior sister, what are you looking at?"

Su Qingling turned her head to look at him, without showing the slightest shame of being caught peeping on her face. Instead, she snorted coldly and left as if nothing had happened.

"Little pervert!"

Luo Zijun complained, went into the woodshed, locked the door, covered the window with his coat, then took off his clothes and got into the bathtub.

"hiss……"

It hurts and feels comfortable.

The warm potion instantly enveloped the entire body. The strained muscles, tired bones and skin seemed to be groaning at this moment.

He closed his eyes, feeling the strange pleasure of the medicine soaking into his body.

Sometimes, pain is also a kind of happiness.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the coat on the window had been taken away and a figure was standing outside the window, looking at him.

"Sister, if you want to see it, come in and see it. You can't see it from outside."

Luo Zijun teased her on purpose.

His entire body was now soaked in a thick medicinal juice and in the bathtub. Even if he showed her, she wouldn't be able to see it.

Unexpectedly, Su Dafang's voice suddenly came from outside: "Disciple, do you really want your senior sister to go in and see?"

Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he quickly said: "Master, why is it you? Even you are learning from Senior Sister, have you become a voyeur?"

Su Dafang said outside the window: "I came here to tell you that some things cannot be forced. For example, martial arts training, you are not good at it at all, it's a waste of time and money."

Luo Zijun said: "It's okay, Master, I can earn money myself."

"You make a shit!"

Su Dafang couldn't help but curse, and then softened his tone: "Can't you just study hard? You are obviously a top candidate in the exam, why bother?"

Luo Zijun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master, if the champion encounters a murderer, will he be able to protect himself?"

Su Dafang said: "Since he is the top scholar, he naturally has guards."

Luo Zijun said: "The guards cannot always be by your side all the time. If the disciple wants to protect himself, he must also protect his family."

Su Dafang said nothing more, sighed, turned and left.

Luo Zijun closed his eyes and thought to himself: Master must be concerned about me, afraid that I will be distracted by studying, hurt my body by practicing martial arts, and end up accomplishing nothing.

after awhile.

He opened his eyes again and looked out the window.

This time, he saw clearly that the person standing outside the window was not his master, but his senior sister.

"Sister, stop looking. If you keep looking, you'll have to pay me."

Luo Zijun rubbed his body and said.

The medicine in the bucket had begun to cool down, and my tired body was now full of strength again.

The soreness disappears and I feel relaxed all over.

It’s good that there are no fake medicines these days. Although it hurts to spend money, it’s really useful.

"Senior sister, I'm getting up."

Luo Zijun is ready to get out of the bath.

Su Qingling stood outside the window and said, "Oh."

"What are you saying? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Luo Zijun was speechless.

Does this girl really have a special fetish? How can she be so beautiful and have such a shameful fetish?
Su Qingling was still standing outside the window and didn't leave.

"Go, go! If I get up, I'll scare you!"

Luo Zijun urged.

It was getting dark outside, so he had to pack up and go home.

Otherwise my sister will worry again.

Worrying about my brother-in-law and him every day, life is tiring enough.

Su Qingling said: "If you scare me, I'll let you touch my feet."

Luo Zijun: “…”

"Senior sister, can you not be so boring every day?"

"Cough cough..."

Su Dafang's cough suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Then he said, "The moon tonight is so round."

Su Qingling looked into the window again before turning around and leaving into the house.

"Master, I feel like something is wrong with my sister."

Luo Zijun got out of the bathtub and said to the outside while putting on his clothes.

Su Dafang said in the courtyard: "Your reaction is a bit slow. Hasn't she always been abnormal?"

Luo Zijun went over and opened the door, then looked at him and asked, "What's going on?"

Su Dafang was drawing water from the well and said calmly, "It's just like you have a foot fetish. Tell me, what's going on?"

Luo Zijun said: "I didn't!"

Su Dafang said: "Well, she doesn't have it either."

Luo Zijun had nothing to say and started packing his things.

Before leaving, he said again: "Master, thank you."

Su Dafang sat on a stone bench in the backyard, enjoying the breeze, squinting his eyes and said, "Thanking me is useless. Go thank your senior sister instead."

Luo Zijun entered the room and said to the girl behind the counter: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Su Qingling was fiddling with an abacus with her head down. Her proud breasts were finally placed proudly on the counter, and a strand of black hair was still at the corner of her mouth.

A plain white dress, black hair, snow-white skin and pink lips.

The cold and suddenly charming little appearance looked particularly attractive under the dim light. It was like a small white flower blooming in the dark valley, blooming its charming fragrance alone under the bright moonlight.

"Senior sister, don't be like this..."

Luo Zijun didn't dare to look any longer and prepared to leave.

This girl always likes to seduce him deliberately.

Just as they reached the door, Su Qingling suddenly said, "You gave me a jade hairpin, and I will give you a gift too."

Luo Zijun paused, turned around and asked, "What gift?"

"come here."

Su Qingling looked at him with a cold expression.

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked back.

"Hands out."

Luo Zijun stretched out his hand, his face full of curiosity.

Su Qingling had no expression on her face and placed a soft object in his palm.

Luo Zijun took a closer look and found that it was actually a pair of snow-white girl's silk stockings.

"Sister, you..."

"how do I?"

"You are insulting me! How can you say you are giving me a gift?"

"So do you like being insulted by me?"

"I...you...are boring!"

"I just took it off. If you don't like it, throw it away."

"Of course I'm throwing it away!"

Luo Zijun held it in his palm, turned around and left. After going out, he walked to the street, threw it casually, and then left quickly.

Night falls and the moon is bright in the sky.

There was nothing on the ground except some grass clippings and fallen leaves.

"Crackling..."

In the pharmacy, the sound of fiddling with an abacus was heard again.

……

"What's wrong with me?"

Walking in the alley on the way home, Luo Zijun looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and muttered to himself.

My brother-in-law did not come back that night.

My sister didn't sleep all night.

When it was almost dawn, my brother-in-law Fang came back exhausted and said solemnly, "We haven't found that person yet..."

When her brother-in-law went to bed, Luo Zijun got up.

After washing up, I practiced boxing in the backyard.

Now when I perform the Kaishan Fist, I have more strength and momentum than before. It feels like a sudden enlightenment, like seeing the sunrise after the dark clouds have parted, and I am becoming more and more skilled in it.

After dawn.

He had breakfast and went out.

Before going to the academy, he stopped by Bao'an Hall.

After the pharmacy moved here, it was really conveniently located.

He came to the door of the pharmacy, looked at the cool girl in a plain white dress behind the counter, and greeted her: "Senior Sister, I'm going to the academy."

Su Qingling lowered her head and counted the money, ignoring him.

Luo Zijun glanced at her again, tried to hold back, but couldn't help but reminded her: "Senior Sister, can you please stop tempting me in the future?"

Su Qingling then raised her head and looked at him coldly with her beautiful eyes: "No."

"Hey……"

Luo Zijun sighed, turned and left.

The tall figure in the Confucian robe soon disappeared in the morning light in the distance.

"Ling'er, can you please stop touching Grandpa's coffin money? There is only a tiny bit left."

In the store, Su Dafang said pitifully. Su Qingling lowered her head and counted the money, and said coldly: "No."

"Hey……"

Su Dafang sighed, carried his medicine box and walked out of the door, his desolate figure disappearing among the crowd in the distance.

This day.

After class, Luo Zijun left the academy.

Not long after leaving West Lake, two figures suddenly appeared on the Broken Bridge, one white and one green, looking at the tourists around them with curious eyes.

"boom!"

In the martial arts hall, Luo Zijun tested his fists against a wooden stake.

A crack appeared in the wooden stake.

The back of his hand was aching slightly, but it was much better than before.

And the pain in my arm disappeared quickly.

Sure enough, the skin refining has had some effects.

make persistent efforts!

In the evening, he went to Bao'an Hall for a medicinal bath again and spent another ten taels of silver.

It was already dark when I got home.

When he walked into the alley in front of his home, he vaguely felt that someone was following him. After looking carefully, he did not find anyone.

"Is it the woman who helped Sun Yaner vent her anger again?"

If it's still her, he won't be polite this time. He will make her bleed!

When I got home, my brother-in-law still hadn't come back.

He continued to practice boxing in the backyard.

After taking the medicinal bath, when I punched, I felt a refreshing feeling as if the power that had been suppressed for a long time was suddenly released.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

After completing a set of boxing techniques, the skin all over the body becomes tight, the muscles twitch, the whole body becomes slightly warm, and you feel refreshed.

At the same time, the seed of internal force in the Danhai was also flickering.

At this moment, he felt full of strength.

He looked at the rocks in the corner that looked like rockery-sized stones, and couldn't help but walk over because he felt itchy.

These are the tools my brother-in-law uses for his martial arts practice.

The smallest stone weighs at least 500 kilograms.

"rise!"

He hugged the smallest rock, tensed all his muscles, and lifted it up with all his strength.

However, the rock only moved slightly and did not rise from the ground.

"call……"

He let out a long breath and loosened his grip.

Sure enough, it still doesn't work.

The training time is too short, and it is impossible for the strength to increase so quickly.

But it is obviously much stronger than before.

He had seen his brother-in-law lifting these rocks with ease before, so he tried it too, but nothing moved at all.

Now, it's time to shake it up.

Progress is obvious.

My brother-in-law came back very late. After eating and taking a shower, he went to bed.

Obviously tired.

Luo Zijun returned to his room and practiced his internal skills for another hour before lying down to sleep.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The next afternoon, Luo Zijun continued to practice in the martial arts hall.

After practicing Kaishanquan, I went to practice standing meditation.

Time flies by.

After more than ten days of high-intensity training, he felt that his internal strength had increased a lot, and his skin and muscles all over his body had become much tighter.

That evening, he went to the backyard again, ready to try the stone.

He took a deep breath, squatted into a horse stance, and hugged the stone tightly with his arms.

Then, the muscles in his arms and legs were tightly twisted together like thick ropes, the skin on the top of his head bulged up, and then, he suddenly exerted force!
"rise!"

A stone weighing more than 500 kilograms suddenly rose from the ground!

"boom!"

The stone fell back to the ground.

Although it was only a few seconds, at this moment, Luo Zijun clearly felt his own progress and strength.

He is finally no longer just a weak scholar!

Under the moonlight, his skin was full of luster, his muscles became stronger, even his eyes became brighter, and his whole body was full of strength.

He transformed.

Although he has not yet succeeded in completely refining his skin, and although he is still far from being as powerful as those powerful warriors, he has now truly entered the ranks of warriors.

"Shh!"

A punch was thrown, full of explosiveness and power!

Who among ordinary people can withstand this punch?
Moreover, with the skin refining in the past few days, the reaction force of his fists hitting the wooden stakes has reduced a lot of damage to him.

The fist still felt painful, but a lot of the force had obviously been dissipated.

He is looking forward to the performance after the skin refining is successful!

However, what comes with it is the worry of having no money.

The 160 silver coins borrowed from Miss Liu have been used up after being consumed rapidly over the past ten days.

Practicing martial arts really costs money like water.

Although it hurts, the effect is really obvious and it is worth it.

As for the subsequent practice, it naturally cannot be delayed.

He planned to go to Tianxianlou again tomorrow to ask whether the two manuscripts had been sold.

I have been busy practicing these days and have not been there.

I wonder what Miss Liu would think.

After borrowing money, you start disappearing?

"Zijun, why hasn't your brother-in-law come back yet?"

Luo Jiaorong came to the backyard and asked with a worried look on her face.

Recently, Li Zhengshan has been going out early and coming back late, always exhausted. She is worried and distressed.

Luo Zijun looked at the sky and said, "Wait a little longer. If he doesn't come back later, I'll go to Uncle Datou's house to ask."

Since practicing martial arts, his personality seems to have become much calmer.

Maybe it was because I suddenly felt that he had grown up.

Whenever my sister feels at a loss, she will come to him for advice. In fact, she doesn’t expect him to help in any way. She probably just wants to hear some words of comfort from him.

After all, he is now considered the man of the family.

"Hey……"

Luo Jiaorong sighed and said with a sad face: "Your brother-in-law's job is really not a job for human beings. He is busy every day, and he is honest. He is asked to do all kinds of miscellaneous things, and he doesn't earn much money every month. I have been persuading him to quit this job, but he just can't bear to do it."

Luo Zijun said: "Didn't my brother-in-law say that he would quit after the Chinese New Year this year?"

Luo Jiaorong rolled her eyes at him and said, "You listen to him? Will he be willing to do that? Besides, it's still so long before the Chinese New Year. Look at him now, he's busy as a madman every day, doing all kinds of dangerous tasks. I'm worried and sleepless at home every day. What if..."

She didn't say anything else, her eyes were red.

Luo Zijun quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, sister. My brother-in-law has been doing this job for a long time. If there is any danger, he will naturally avoid it."

Luo Jiaorong said bitterly: "Kid, what do you know? Some dangers cannot be avoided."

Luo Zijun recalled how she was injured and her parents were murdered. She wanted to ask about it, but she was afraid of arousing her sadness and fear, so she had to hold back.

I have to find some time to ask my brother-in-law.

About half an hour later, Li Zhengshan finally came back dragging his tired body.

"There have been a lot of thieves outside the city lately, and the cells are almost full."

"You don't have to wait for me to eat tomorrow night. We have to go to Qingshi Town tonight to arrest a group of robbers. Several children were kidnapped. One of the children has some relationship with a noble in the inner city. The higher-ups have ordered us to go out in full force. We probably won't be back until dawn the next day..."

Li Zhengshan said as he wolfed down his meal.

Luo Jiaorong wanted to complain a few words, but seeing that he was exhausted, she had to hold it back and went over to serve him a big bowl of chicken soup.

"You should go to bed earlier in the future and don't have to wait for me. Zijun, you still have to go to the academy to study every day, so you should go to bed early. Don't listen to your sister worrying about this and that all day long. It's not good to delay your studies."

Seeing that her sister couldn't help getting angry, Luo Zijun hurriedly asked, "Brother-in-law, has the fugitive you mentioned last time been caught?"

Li Zhengshan shook his head and said, "We searched every house in the city, but couldn't find him. I guess he escaped from the city."

Luo Zijun chatted with him for a while before returning to the room.

I lay in bed at night, unable to sleep.

Although he was busy practicing during this period, he always kept his attention on Xu Xian.

Every day when he went to the academy, he would ask the student whether he had met any strange women recently. Sometimes, after class, she would follow him for a distance when he went home.

All was calm.

The white snake hasn't appeared yet.

Is it that the time has not come yet, or is there some other reason?
In fact, this is quite good.

This way he will have more time and energy to strengthen himself.

Once he becomes stronger, it will be easier to stop them.

After thinking about random things for a while, I prepared to go to bed.

At this time, the little maid crawled over from under the quilt, curled up in his arms with her petite body, and said with her face against his neck, "Master, have you had a lot of troubles recently?"

Luo Zijun touched her head and said, "Who doesn't have worries?"

The little maid said, "I don't have any."

Luo Zijun asked: "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I live here now. I have food, drink, clothes and shelter. I have the lady who loves me and the master who keeps me company. I am very happy every day. How can I have any worries?"

The little maid said with a happy face.

Luo Zijun said nothing more and reached his hand into her bellyband.

"Son..."

The little maid's face turned red, and she blinked her curved eyelashes and big eyes, shyly and expectantly.

"Sir, this servant... this servant..."

After a while.

The little maid bit her pink lips, twisted her body unconsciously, her eyes were full of water, and she could not bear it any more.

"Go to sleep."

Luo Zijun suddenly took his hand away and closed his eyes.

"Son..."

"Snoring... snoring..."

"Sir, this servant of yours ..."

"Snoring... snoring..."

"Woo..."

Now, the little maid finally had something to worry about.

Outside the window, it was dead of night.

at the same time.

At the innermost part of an alley on South Street, there is an ordinary house.

The room was dark.

But under the floor of a certain room, there was a faint light.

A bald man was sitting at the table, drinking wine and eating meat.

In a corner not far away, a woman and a little boy were tied with ropes, lying there motionless, seemingly asleep.

The dark space was filled with the pungent smell of mold and feces and urine.

But the bald man ate big chunks of meat and drank big bowls of wine, and didn't care.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the wooden board above my head.

Then, another man's trembling voice sounded: "Brother Nian, I have already found out that Captain Li will leave the city tomorrow night to catch thieves in Qingshi Town... There are only his wife, brother-in-law, and a little maid in the room..."

The bald man who was eating meat and drinking in the dark room raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl. He smacked his lips and asked, "Are you sure?"

The man above said, "Sure."

Then he pleaded in a trembling voice: "Brother Nian, can you let me see my wife and my child?"

The bald man sneered and said, "There's nothing to see. They are all fine. Don't worry, we are brothers after all. As long as you don't report to the police or tip off the secret, I promise that I won't harm your family in the slightest."

"I...I will never..."

"That's good. I'll be leaving tomorrow night. Then you can come down and pick them up."

The bald man in the dark room finished the last piece of meat, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, stood up and walked to the corner, urinated in the bucket, and said with a smile: "Brother, aren't you leaving yet?"

"me……"

"If you don't want to leave, that's fine."

The bald man grinned, without pulling up his pants, he walked directly to the corner and pulled open the woman's dress.

The woman woke up from the nightmare, her eyes wide open in fear, but she didn't dare to struggle. She lay on the ground trembling, looking at her sleeping child with tearful eyes, biting her lips tightly...

The man above his head trembled violently when he heard the sound.

After the man in the dark room finished, he smiled, pulled up his pants, walked to the table and sat down, drank another bowl of wine, and then looked at the tearful woman and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, I will leave tomorrow night. By then, you and your children will be safe and sound. Alas, I should be able to live for two more days at most, but that's enough. Tomorrow night, I will kill Li Wenzheng's family of three, and then kill a few more, and it will be considered as a profit."

He spoke this in a calm tone.

It seems to be talking about a very ordinary little thing.

The woman lying on the ground became more and more frightened. She dared not even utter a sound. Her cheek was buried in the ground, her body was shaking, and her tears wet the ground.
