Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 81: The God of Thieves Ji Wu Ming, the four compete in Qinggong

Ji Wuming and Bai Zhantang are from the same school. They entered the industry at the same time and both have made a certain reputation in this industry.

Bai Zhantang is revered as the King of Thieves.

Ji Wuming was honored as the God of Thieves.

But although Bai Zhantang is a thief, he is a chivalrous thief. After stealing people's things, he will return them after a few days.

Ji Wuming was very dissatisfied with this.

Two years ago, the two came to Qixia Town and were going to make a fortune by chance, but Ji Wuming not only wanted to make money, but also wanted to kill people, which touched Bai Zhantang's bottom line.

Therefore, the two turned against each other.

Finally, by chance, Ji Wuming was arrested by local constables and sent to the capital for detention.

Chu Liuxiang said, "Just a few days ago, there was an earthquake in the capital, which collapsed the Ministry of Justice prison. Many martial arts masters escaped. Although most of them were captured, a few still managed to escape. Among them was Ji Wuming.

When I heard the news, I was worried that he would seek revenge on you, Brother Bai, so I came here to inform you.

Brother Bai, if he really wants to take revenge on you, it will probably happen in a day or two!"

"Xiao Ji ran away?" Bai Zhantang frowned.

Zhou Ming interrupted and asked, "The earthquake in the capital just happened to collapse the Ministry of Justice prison? What a coincidence?"

According to Pei Ju, the person who now takes over as the Minister of Justice is loyal to the emperor.

But how long has it been since the Ministry of Justice’s prison collapsed?
interesting……

Chu Liuxiang just found out Zhou Ming's identity and quickly said, "I also heard about it, but I don't know the details."

Zhou Ming nodded, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He said, "Since we are all here, why don't we help Lao Bai solve this problem?"

Bai Zhantang said hurriedly: "No, no!"

"need!"

Chu Liuxiang said, "Brother Bai, you've already retired from the martial arts world. Don't let these martial arts matters bother you. We'll help you resolve this matter. It's a deal!"

Zhou Ming said: "Since Marshal Xiang agrees, then I will propose an idea. Let's make this a competition to see who can find Ji Wuming first, capture him, and send him to the nearest government office!

Whoever wins can make a condition to the loser!"

Chu Liuxiang said, "It seems that Brother Zhou needs my help with something? Okay, I agree!"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhaixing said, "Such an interesting event, I'll also participate. Lu Xiaofeng, are you coming too?"

Lu Xiaofeng was alert: "You don't want me to do anything, do you?"

"Hey, if I win, you have to dig me nine hundred and ninety-nine earthworms!"

"What do you need so many earthworms for? Do you like fishing too?"

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, then changed his tone: "Then I will participate, but if I win, you have to dig up 999 earthworms for me!"

"Okay, no problem!" Sikong Zhaixing nodded repeatedly.

Chu Liuxiang said, "In that case, the four of us will participate in this competition. By the way, Brother Zhou hasn't stated his conditions yet?"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "I'm planning the second part of my novel. If I win, I'll use Xiang Shuai's name and play a role in my novel. How about that?"

"Okay! These conditions couldn't be simpler. How could I not agree?"

Chu Liuxiang agreed immediately.

But he did not put forward any other conditions.

Everyone came to Bai Zhantang's aid and helped him out of his predicament, which was already very good for him. How could he put forward any other conditions?

Ji Wuming probably never thought that he would become the title of one of the four most famous young heroes in the martial arts world.

At the entrance of the inn, the four contestants were ready.

Chu Liuxiang said: "When I heard the news, several days had actually passed, and it took several more days to rush here.

If Ji Wuming's target is here, then based on the distance he's traveled, he might have already reached Pinggu County."

Qixia Town is a town under the jurisdiction of Pinggu County.

If Ji Wuming is in Pinggu County now, they can definitely rush over now.

The difficulty lies in finding people.

But if he is not there, then everyone can only wait for Ji Wuming to find the inn by himself.

"If you are all ready, I will leave first without any hesitation!" Sikong Zhaixing said, and jumped up first. In just three or two steps, he disappeared into the night.

His martial arts skills may seem ordinary, but he is agile and swift, like a swallow.

Lu Xiaofeng clasped his fists towards the two of them, and used his Qinggong skills to chase after them.

The difference in his lightness skill was immediately apparent as he leaped more than three feet high and then glided down.

It was as if a divine bird took off into the sky and then spread its wings to fly.

In terms of posture, he is far better than Sikong Zhaixing.

No wonder it is called Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens.

Chu Liuxiang said, "Mr. Zhou, please."

Zhou Ming nodded and leaped up, displaying a lightness skill similar to Lu Xiaofeng's.

Chu Liuxiang then set out to chase after him, floating as lightly as a wisp of green smoke.

The four of them were all masters of Qing Kung Fu and quickly rushed out of Qixia Town. Outside the town, there were no houses or high walls, so they all fell to the ground.

Only Zhou Ming stepped on the void, but he took several steps in the air before landing on the ground.

Chu Liuxiang was immediately amazed: "What a wonderful Qinggong!"

Sikong Zhaixing's eyes widened: "How can you be in the air without using force?"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Haven't you heard of the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Kung Fu?"

If the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Goose Kung Fu is studied superficially, it can only be regarded as an ordinary light Kung Fu, which can only be used to strengthen internal strength.

However, if it is practiced to a high level and combined with extremely deep skills, it can produce incredible effects.

That is the void step!
But even the current headmaster Ma Yu can only take a dozen steps in the air.

At this moment, Zhou Ming only took a few steps, but his performance was still amazing.

After all, the most important thing about Qinggong is the landing point and leverage. Even Chu Liuxiang and others have to consider the landing point when practicing outside the city.

The fact that Zhou Ming was able to take several steps in the air meant that he had far more options than anyone else when choosing his landing point!
In fact, Zhou Ming also has the ability to project.

He just didn't want to show it in front of everyone, otherwise, he could perform an aerial flying show on the spot.

Under the cover of night, the gates of Pinggu County had already been closed.

But this naturally couldn't stop Zhou Ming. He jumped over the city wall and came into the city.

"It seems that I have won this Qinggong competition!"

A figure also climbed over the city wall at the same time and said, "I didn't expect Brother Zhou to be such a good writer. His Qinggong skills are amazing!"

Zhou Mingdao said, "When you're in the martial arts world, how can you avoid being stabbed? Only if you learn Qinggong well can you escape! I don't have anything else, but this Qinggong, which is pretty good."

With two swish sounds, Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng arrived shortly afterwards.

Sikong Zhaixing was the most unwilling to admit defeat and said, "Don't be complacent. The key is whether you can find the right talent."

With that, he rushed straight into the night.

Lu Xiaofeng immediately gave chase.

Zhou Ming also ran towards the city, with Chu Liuxiang following closely behind. Zhou Ming couldn't help but wonder, "It would have been fine if we were traveling the same way before, but now that we're in the city, why is General Xiang still following me so closely?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "Since Master Zhou proposed this competition, I'm afraid he has already made up his mind. I think that by following Master Zhou, we can quickly eliminate Ji Wuming. But Master Zhou, don't worry. If that's the case, I admit defeat."

Zhou Ming laughed.

I'm afraid Chu Liuxiang never thought about winning from the beginning. After all, he didn't even mention any conditions before.

His purpose was simply to help Bai Zhantang solve this matter.

"Then, Xiang Shuai, can you guess how I will solve this matter?"

"This..." Chu Liuxiang shook his head.

A moment later, inside the county government office.

Magistrate Lou clasped his fists and said, "May I ask your name, hero?"

Zhou Ming took out a token and said, "My name is Zhou Ming, and my adoptive father is Pei Ju!"

Chu Liuxiang: “…6…”
