Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 52: Refining the outer strength of the skin, the clothes are not touched by wind and rain, the world is sad and bleak, it is not suitable for survival, Lin Zhenhai’s invitation!
Anning West Street, Tiger and Leopard Pavilion!

A large house that looked quite bright, with four entrances and exits, stone walls and green tiles, a solemn atmosphere, and weapons racks lined up in a row.

Three major gangs.

It was along this 500-li mountain road that the three major forces of the villages and mountain towns rushed into the county town together.

If the fire kiln is famous for making a living, it relies on iron smelting and forging soldiers, the firewood market is famous for coal and firewood, and the cattle and sheep market is famous for its monopoly on the meat business.

Then
The Lion Hall, the Tiger and Leopard Hall, and the Falcon Gang.

It is by relying on those 500-mile mountain roads that a large group of people are supported!

Lending money, watching over the market and collecting rent are just minor tasks in this city.

There are also various rare treasures and mountain products outside.

How could ordinary hunters or woodcutters dare to go deep into the territory?
Only warriors who travel high in knife villages and mountain towns can obtain various qi and blood elixirs, fight tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves, and become "mountain patrollers".

I heard,

Yang Daohan, the 'tiger tomb' of the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion back then.

They searched through mountains and forests, exhausted all their resources, and followed the clues to find a real "treasure from the earth".

Afterwards, he presented it directly to an important figure in the palace, which enabled him to gain a foothold in An Ning and become successful today.

The mountain people who make their living from the mountains live in poverty, but those who run a farm or set up a mountain town can be full for several years with just one meal.

This day.

Zhongyong Street outside the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion.

Rare gang members were like a long dragon, with three layers inside and three layers outside looking in, and in the middle there were factions such as the "Lion Hall" and the "Falcon Gang".

Everyone's eyes were excited, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

In the early years, the relationship between these "three major gangs" was just average. Some of them even had frequent frictions outside the county, and it was normal for them to draw their swords against each other over a disagreement.

But for some reason, in recent years, the relationship has been getting better and better, as if they were twisted into a rope and shared the same spirit.

Inside the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion.

"Lu Chengfeng, Xu Zhuang, Wei Dingchang?"

"Ah!"

"Three businessmen who do business and make a living think that by associating with a 'master of Qigong', they are equivalent to establishing their own sect?"

"If it was in the past, it would be fine."

"Now I have learned the 'secret method', sworn brotherhood, tempered my outer energy, and jumped up. The wind and rain are not able to touch my clothes. I have already twisted myself into a rope!"

"The mountain roads and the county are all covered by one hand."

"It's just that the 'leader' is a low-key person and doesn't want to cause trouble, so there was no commotion."

"As a result, we were lying there quietly, but someone was so upset that he came to our door?"

"Disgrace yourself."

Dressed in black, the leader of the Eagle Gang, 'Goshawk' Xu Xin, looked out the door, folded his arms and sneered.

He was blind in one eye, and the other eye was like an eagle's, icy cold.

"You and I haven't mastered the skin-refining skills yet, and our 'external energy' is not complete. We can't leave the body, and we can't be affected by wind and rain. We can only let Xu Zhuang and Wei Dingchang suffer a little loss."

"but"

"Yang Laoqi has inherited the mantle of the eldest brother, and is a genuine external cultivation. Even in the capital city, he can mix into the 'industry' and make a good future. How can this country bumpkin imagine that?"

"Lu Chengfeng is the most skilled warrior among the three."

"He couldn't hold out for more than a few hits before being torn apart by the 'Tiger and Leopard Hands', leaving him mostly disabled!"

"If we don't have to give some face to the people above us, we can't see blood directly, otherwise..."

Zhang Liechen, the "mad lion" with hair like lion's temples and a pair of blue eyes, was sitting with a sword in his hand, grinning.

"It's just a grasshopper in autumn. It won't be able to jump for long."

"Xu Zhuang and Wei Dingchang are fine, but if the kilns, firewood markets, and cattle and sheep markets, which account for half of An Ning's livelihood, were all taken over by us, it would be too much of a commotion."

"If we alert the four masters of the 'Fist, Spear, Sword and Blade' halls, and call them, and the one behind them who is too sensitive, it will be bad."

"Also, I heard that the person sent by the 'Qi Master' of Fengyun Society has not arrived yet. In order not to alert the enemy, we have to give him some space."

"But it doesn't make sense for us to not take any benefits when they come to our door, right?"

"Lu Chengfeng"

"He has a pretty good kiln business."

Zhang Liechen, the 'Mad Lion', and Xu Xin, the 'Goshawk', sat on the left and right.

And in the middle, on the yellow wooden carved armchair, sat the owner of the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion, "Tomb Tiger" Yang Daohan.

He spoke slowly, looked around, smiled gently, and with his wide sleeves and robe, he had the elegance of a scholar:

"Our three major gangs have been living in the west of the city for a long time."

"We have to find some money for our brothers."

"But before that."

Yang Daohan waved his hand.

Zhang Shiyao, with one arm bandaged, walked over without saying a word:

"Dragon head!"

Tiger and Leopard Pavilion, seventh seat.

The name sounds intimidating, but in front of the elegant and easy-going looking leader of the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion, he is like a chick pecking at rice.

"Fengyun Society, head of the medicine hall, Ji Xiu, a servant of the Lin family, originally a groom"

"Sixteen years old, with golden muscles and jade veins in the early stages, and I pinched half of your arm purple with one palm?"

"I am incompetent, I..."

Listening to this man who knew everything in detail, Zhang Shiyao shuddered, his face filled with shame, and he hesitated to speak.

However, he was interrupted by Zhonghu Yang Daohan who waved his hand nonchalantly:
"Good seedling."

He suddenly exclaimed:
"Big brother said that he likes these poor kids who come from humble backgrounds and have learned a lot." "Yang Yan."

"Where's Yang Yan?"

After looking around and seeing no one responded, Yang Daohan frowned. His originally elegant and easy-going demeanor suddenly became serious, and his eyes became sharp, like an eagle or a wolf.

It made people feel cold, and Zhang Shiyao shuddered even more after hearing this:

"Dragon head, Brother Yan, he he."

Yang Daohan frowned:
"Just now when those three families came to attack us, didn't we see him punch Lu Chengfeng's apprentice so hard that his mouth and eyes became crooked?"

Zhang Shiyao could only whisper helplessly:
"Brother Yan said that he had just consumed too much energy and needed to relieve himself, so he went to the home of a laborer who used to lend money and collect rent to look for a wife."

Yang Daohan was furious:
"You little calf, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have forged your bones into iron and are invulnerable to swords and guns?"

"Bring him back here, tell him to be polite, and ask Ji Xiu to come over!"

"Yes!"

Mottled earth walls and dim oil lamps.

Yang Yan pulled up his trousers, breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and squinted his eyes.

He looked at the man in plain clothes in front of him, who was like a dog, with a bent back and was timid and weak.

He turned his head again and looked at the pretty woman who had played a few times and seemed to have a mental breakdown. She tied herself with a hemp rope and hanged herself. She was in a mess:

"Does your wife have any family?"

The man leaned forward, trembled, and whispered:

"She, she was born in a poor family in a shabby alley owned by a kiln owner. She only has a younger brother who works as a casual worker and a few sisters. She doesn't have any background."

"Master Yan, I only have this one wife. I spent two taels of silver to marry her. She is the most beautiful among her sisters. You..."

The young leader of the Tiger and Leopard Pavilion, holding a cigarette, nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, took a long breath, and kicked forward:
"waste."

"Your wife is gone, and you're still thinking about 'adding money'?"

"No wonder your wife has no face to live."

"I blame you all!"

He threw the curlers at the man's face and sneered:
"but."

"Your wife is very smooth."

"Your debt is paid."

He licked his lips, feeling a little regretful.

As soon as these words were spoken, the man, who was originally timid, suddenly showed a flash of joy on his face.

“Brother Yan, Brother Yan!”

At this moment, someone suddenly called out from outside, causing him to frown:
"what's up?"

"The dragon head is calling you over!"

Hearing this, Yang Yan scratched his ears, feeling a little depressed:
"Didn't you just beat up the silver spear wax head of the kiln?"

"What's up, old man?"

He muttered to himself as he led his men away in groups of three or five.

Only the man was left, staring blankly at his bruised wife, his face showing mixed emotions of joy and sorrow, and finally he covered his face and cried:

"Ayuan, I'm sorry for you and your family."

"But, but I really have no choice."

Fire kiln, Luzhuang.

"Master Lu, I'll help you apply this seventh-grade medicinal powder. The rest still needs to be taken care of."

"at least."

"It will take two or three months."

"During this period, I'm afraid you'll have to use crutches and you can't move your muscles or blood."

Looking at Lu Chengfeng on the bed, whose tendons were broken and whose qi and blood were weak, he was completely different from the man who was full of energy before.

Huang Xuan sighed and shook his head.

Ji Xiu, on the other hand, felt awe-inspiring.

When I came here just now, many members of the Huoyao Fengyun Club looked grim along the way. What's worse, some of the guests had already left with their packages on their backs.

This gave him a vague premonition.

When he saw the manor owner Lu, who looked sullen and completely different from the vigorous and energetic man he once was,
Then he understood why.

Big tree
fall down.

When disaster strikes, won't everyone run away?
Looking at Lu Yu and Lu Hongyu, brother and sister, lying on the bed with a heavy expression, silent.

Ji Xiu shook his head and sighed.

The Lu family treated him well.

But Tiger and Leopard Pavilion could even suppress Master Lu like this.

He is a well-rounded character and can't help much.

He comforted Lu Hongyu and her brother and sister, and said a few words to console the owner of Lu Manor.

Ji Xiu left quietly.

At this time, the sky was setting and the cold was biting, as if late autumn was passing and winter was approaching.

As soon as I returned to my own 'green brick courtyard'.
Hong Jiang frowned and came over:
"Master, the owner of the Lin residence, Lin Zhenhai, has asked someone to invite you to a banquet."

Lin Zhai.

Lin Zhenhai?
Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what was going on.

The poachers are coming.
