Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 27: Inner City Shen He, Second Escort (27 Two-in-One)

Li Cunxiao listened attentively to the movement behind him, which gradually became obvious from subtle.

His eyes narrowed, his pace quickened, and he rushed out without any concealment.

This action really stimulated the "tail" behind him, and two men suddenly emerged from the ruins at the exit of the black market.

However, Li Cunxiao had already prepared for the situation where the gangs robbed the gangs. He slipped into the complicated alleys like a loach and disappeared in a short while.

The two people who were chasing him looked anxious, but when they reached an intersection, they looked around and still found nothing. It was obvious that they had lost him.

The taller of the two couldn't help but complain to the shorter one:
"I told you there was a fat sheep, but you kept dragging your feet. Now the cooked duck has flown away!"

"Keep your voice down!"

The short man was startled by his companion's sudden increase in voice. Although he looked a little annoyed, he still said stubbornly:

"Don't just talk about the gains without mentioning the risks. That person can afford to eat at the Chai Gang shop, so he might have some tricks up his sleeve."

"Bah!" the tall man got angry.

"What Chaibang shop? I saw clearly that the man bought the demon meat from a stall outside in the end."

"Damn it! Even the small stalls are charging five ounces per pound for demon meat. Who can afford it when it's so expensive?"

"It took me several years to master the Qi and blood. If I had enough demon meat, I would have succeeded long ago."

"Yes, if there was enough demon meat, I would have succeeded long ago!"

The tall man seemed to be stimulated by something, but he became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice sounded like thunder in the quiet alley.

The little man took a few steps back with a start, his right hand already half-pulling the dagger from his waist, completely confused as to what was going on.

It's just that I lost a fat sheep. No matter how angry I am, it shouldn't be so serious, right?
What the two men didn't notice was that Li Cunxiao was in the shadow of a broken wall about one or two meters away from them.

Not only did he wear a nightgown and blacken his face, but even the skin that was exposed was blackened.

It's like a black person, blending into the night quietly and harmoniously.

When he saw the two men appear, Li Cunxiao had already planned to sneak around and get rid of the tall man first, but he didn't expect that the man suddenly became abnormal.

He immediately suppressed the urge to attack and hid in the shadows, continuing to be his night elf.

"Have you eaten too much demon meat?"

The little man suddenly thought of a possibility, and his steps changed quietly. While asking the question, his eyes were already aimed at a gap in the broken wall.

"Demon meat? I really am..."

The big guy suddenly became quiet, as if he had returned to normal. The little guy, who was about to leave, couldn't help but slow down.

But the tall man raised his head, the bloodshot in his eyes were like dense spider webs, and he rushed over suddenly with heavy breathing!
"I really don't eat enough. Not enough!"

The speed of this attack was far beyond the level of his companions that the little guy knew. He only had time to stab the opponent's chest with a knife, and the next moment he felt a huge force hitting his stomach. The force was so great that it seemed to directly break his intestines.

"Calm down, Lao Zhou, I..."

“I want meat!!!”

The tall man seemed to be crazy, his fists like pile drivers, desperately hammering the shorter man's chest and abdomen. Even though his own bones made sounds of being unable to bear the weight, even though the other party's mouth was already spewing out pieces of internal organs, the pair of fists continued to rise and fall at a high speed, even dancing out afterimages, until -

嗤

The tip of a knife pierced into the back of his neck and came out of his mouth. The tall man's movements suddenly paused, but he immediately wanted to turn around. He opened his mouth so wide that even the corners of his lips were torn, and sticky saliva dripped out.

Tsk, tsk.

Li Cunxiao's left arm was bulging with veins, and he stabbed the opponent's eyes with the short knife in his right hand quickly, making a slight sound.

If you wash off the disguise on his face at this time, you will find that his face has turned purple and red like a blood tiger, and he has obviously entered a state of explosion.

The tall man was stabbed in the brain with two fatal blows. His body went limp and he finally fell to the ground.

The vajra shone with light and grew by almost one-eighth.

Li Cunxiao looked at the shorter corpse silently. There was still fear in his eyes. His chest was obviously sunken, and in the sunken area were bloody fragments of internal organs that were spurting out of his mouth.

And that tall corpse
Li Cunxiao plucked up the courage to light the tinderbox.

In the dim light of the fire, he saw a pair of eyes covered with shadows.

Full of blood red.

He shuddered suddenly, touched the corpse a few times, and stood up to leave.

Although the two little tails had been killed, Li Cunxiao still paid close attention to what was behind him and made several big circles before returning to the courtyard.

"Eating too much demon meat can really drive people crazy."

Li Cunxiao felt a chill in his heart, and he suddenly realized how lucky he was.

If the vajra did not exist, let alone absorbing the evil spirit, he might have gone crazy like that man, and might even have hurt Mu Cha.

"The living environment of the lower-level warriors is really too harsh."

"If you don't eat demon meat, your cultivation progress will be slow."

"If you eat the demon meat, you may go crazy at any time."

"Only the big families in the inner city and forces like the Flying Tiger Escort Agency can provide high-quality food."

“Strength, strength.”

After casually checking his gains from searching the corpse and putting away the less than ten taels of silver, Li Cunxiao took out the demon meat and chewed it in big mouthfuls.

Practice!

He practiced day and night, and in the blink of an eye, a few days passed. After his qi and blood were greatly improved, Li Cunxiao could consume about half a pound of demon meat every day, and the accumulation of qi, blood and evil spirits increased simultaneously.

Adding the progress accumulated from the black market counterattack a few days ago, it is estimated that the vajra will be fully charged in half a month.

The news that the chief escort leader made an exception and taught Li Cunxiao the internal training method gradually spread in the escort agency.

After all, the gate to the inner courtyard was right there, and there was a new face among the people coming in and out, and it was a tough face at that, so it would be easy to be discovered.

Since not many people knew about the affairs of the county government, there were many different opinions about the exceptional promotion of the chief escort leader.

Some people think that Li Cunxiao's virtue is not worthy of his position. He has talent, but his contributions are not commensurate.
Some people think that the current situation is turbulent and extraordinary measures must be taken. Moreover, the young men in the inner city can pay money to learn the law, so why can't Li Cunxiao, who comes from a poor background like most bodyguards, make an exception?

Some people also think that a group of people are talking nonsense. Tiger Fist is a martial art passed down by the chief escort. He gives it to whoever he wants. Why do you have the right to comment on it?
The third statement ended all discussion because Zhang Lishi’s authority in the Feihu Escort Agency was unquestionable.

At most, everyone would talk about it privately after dinner, but no one would dare to openly oppose the decision.

Li Cunxiao also keenly noticed that among the familiar escorts, such as Qian Laosan and others, they were becoming more enthusiastic, while a small number of escorts were becoming more cold towards him.

He didn't care about these things, he just ate meat and practiced martial arts, constantly strengthening his control over the explosive state under cardiopulmonary circulation, striving to be able to switch freely between the explosive state and the normal state.

The teaching of Qin Yu and He Bi did not stop. After everyone's debate, Li Cunxiao also realized that if he wanted to continue to develop in the escort agency, he must have people supporting him.

Qin Yu and He Bi were undoubtedly suitable candidates. Over this period of time, the relationship between the three of them had rapidly warmed. He Bi, while boasting of being a mentor, could still interact with him as an equal, while Qin Yu had rapidly transformed himself, evolving directly into a subordinate who followed his lead.

Qin Yu: Loyalty! Sincerity!

Just when Li Cunxiao thought he would be able to endure peacefully until the vajra was full, a reasonable but unexpected news came:
The second escort mission is about to begin.

Although it has only been three or four days since the last time, it is obvious that the value of the escort agency is increasing amid the turmoil.

However, what Li Cunxiao cared about was not this, but the choice of the escort leader this time. It was not the escort leaders hired from outside, but Zhang Lishi's disciple, a second-level martial artist who had broken through his muscles with the tiger-shaped fist.

The fourth son of the Shen family in the inner city, Shen He.

Inner city, Zuichunlou.

"Junior Brother Ye is extremely gifted. In just one year, he broke through four minor barriers and achieved perfection in Qi and Blood."

"Now I just need Master Zhang to teach me the method of luring demons. The muscle realm will be within reach in no time!"

Shen He had a warm smile on his face, and even someone as cold as Ye Chengxiao, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but look a little more radiant.

"These three senior brothers and sisters are my predecessors. It really makes me feel embarrassed to say this."

As he said this, his eyes subconsciously wandered around the inner room, glancing at everyone in the private room without leaving a trace.

Shen He is a member of the Shen family in the inner city. Although he is not as wealthy as the Murong, Ye and Xiao families, he is also from a prominent family.

He was wearing a brocade round-necked robe with a brocade lace trim down the middle, and a finely carved jade hanging around his waist.

Sitting on his left was Jiang Qi, the daughter of the Jiang family in the inner city. She was also dressed in a men's round-necked robe and looked very heroic, but compared to the other two, she didn't talk much.

As for the last one, it was Xiao Mei who was sitting on the right hand side of Shen He. Like Ye Chengxiao, she was from the Xiao family, one of the three major families in the inner city, and was also a branch.

But compared to Jiang Qi who was dressed as a warrior, this Miss Xiao was dressed in a rather passionate and unrestrained manner.

The towering bun moves down, passing by the slender neck and below the collarbone. The low-necked shirt looks like a U-shape, and paired with the high-waisted mid-color skirt, it reveals the depth of the valley.

But on her shoulders, there was a light gauze shawl, which was hazy and barely visible.

When Ye Chengxiao looked over, Senior Sister Xiao was also looking over, her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be flowing with water waves, and her lips were tender and tempting.
"Junior sister, your kung fu has improved again."

Shen He suddenly spoke, and Ye Chengxiao felt embarrassed and quickly raised his glass to cover up.

But Xiao Mei smiled sweetly, picked up a pomegranate from the fruit plate, and gently rolled it into her mouth with her tongue.

"Brother Shen, you're joking. The Tiger Demon Fist is best for strengthening bones. If I had made some progress, I wouldn't be able to wear this dress."

Jiang Qi couldn't help but sneer:

"Junior sister, you are mistaken. Senior Brother Shen is not talking about the Kung Fu taught by Master Zhang, but the Jade Chamber Technique passed down by your Xiao family's ancestors."

Xiao Mei was not annoyed when she heard this, but just smiled with her hands covering her mouth. The charm in her smile made Ye Chengxiao unable to help but take another look at her.

Ugh.

When Shen He saw the state of his junior fellow apprentice, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He was still young and full of vigor, and was less susceptible to temptation. He had to fight a few battles with real swords and guns like himself before he could see women as passing clouds.

However, I heard that he has been devoted to martial arts since he joined the sect and is not interested in fun, so it is not surprising that he behaved like this today.

"If not, I'm afraid it would be impossible to achieve the state of Qi and Blood Perfection in less than a year."

"Thinking back to when I was sixteen and practicing martial arts, my Qi sensing and Qi suppression abilities made rapid progress."

"However, the two stages of Qi and blood circulation took a long time, and it took almost a year and a half for Qi and blood to be complete. Jiang Qi is also much behind me."

"With Ye Chengxiao's talent, becoming Master Zhang's disciple is just a matter of a moment."

Thinking of this, Shen He became more tolerant towards this junior fellow apprentice.

After three rounds of drinks, Ye Chengxiao was drunk enough, and his cold temper was thrown aside, and he started talking.

Everyone was from a different background and had a wide range of knowledge, so they chatted and talked about everything, creating a lively atmosphere. Among them, Shen He's topic was particularly interesting.

"I didn't expect there were so many wandering knights and bandits outside of Chuqiu City. I've always been trapped in the city, so I can only see the world from a narrow perspective."

"I really envy Senior Brother Shen for being able to follow the escort car, travel around the world, and gain more knowledge."

Ye Chengxiao was still young at heart, and he couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard those wonderful stories.

But what he didn't notice was that the two ladies present looked at Shen He strangely when they heard this. The latter's face froze, but soon returned to normal.

"Brother, you're joking. Escorting an convoy requires exhausting travel and sleeping in the open air. How can one survive this?"

Yes, if it weren't for the desire to learn how to use the Little Yaksha Knife from Master Zhang, why would a dignified young master of the Shen family go through so much trouble with those peasants, and end up covered in dust?

Ye Chengxiao felt happy, but he just felt it was not decent.

But who can blame the Shen family for not having the same foundation as the three major families?

"By the way, I heard there's a Li Sanlang in the escort agency recently. The head escort made an exception and taught him the internal training method."

"It took a month to sense and suppress the Qi. This speed is comparable to the inner city disciples like me."

Xiao Meizhuang seemed to be having trouble finding a topic to talk about, so he just threw out something he had overheard.

Shen He and Jiang Qi just smiled when they heard this, while Ye Chengxiao was even more proud:

"I've heard about this as well. This speed isn't considered slow in the outer city."

"But the Qi and Blood realm is not lacking in warriors who can control Qi and Blood. The ultimate achievement of Qi and Blood is the real challenge."

Upon hearing this, Shen He also echoed:

"That Li Sanlang comes from a humble background. I'm afraid he can't afford to eat monster meat. Who knows, in a few years, he will be forgotten by everyone."

"If you don't get into the muscles, you will always be an ordinary person."

At the side door of the escort agency, the guys were busy loading and unloading goods.

The autumn wind blew, and the dart flag embroidered with a winged tiger fluttered.

Under their command, the escorts wearing white round collars and red headbands gathered together. Compared with the last escort mission, the number of people this time increased to twelve, and the leader of the escort team also changed from Ge Yingyang to Shen He.

Li Cunxiao keenly noticed that compared to their previous warmth and respect for Ge Yingyang, everyone couldn't help but be more flattering towards Shen He.

The latter stood in the crowd, wearing the same white round collar and red headband, but the turned-up collar and cuffs were lined with shiny brocade.

From a distance, they look like the others in the escort agency dressed in the same attire, but up close, one can tell their different identities.

Shen He walked past the escorts one by one, speaking polite words. After a moment, he turned to Li Cunxiao who was sorting his equipment.

"Li Sanlang? I've heard of you."
