Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 56 Chapter 55 Wanted, Thief (still available at night)

Master, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
Li Cunxiao complained secretly, but since he had made the decision, he would not go back on his word.

"Master, I haven't made any contribution to the escort agency since I joined. It was only because of your support that I was able to obtain the Water and Fire Ointment, a secret skin-refining medicine, not to mention the Pegasus."

"And the eldest brother has been in charge of the manor all year round. He can't enjoy the prosperity of Chuqiu at all."

"In terms of merit, the eldest brother has made great contributions; in terms of responsibility, the manor's granary is of vital importance."

"The stronger the eldest brother is, the safer the manor will be, and the more secure the escort agency will be."

"My disciple and I are both members of the escort agency. As long as it is beneficial to the agency, I will also benefit from it. Why should we differentiate between you and me?"

"It is morally and logically impossible for disciples to receive any more rewards."

These words have been carefully considered.

Everything Li Cunxiao has gained so far comes from Zhang Lishi's favoritism. As the saying goes, if one's virtue does not match his position, there will be disaster.

He hasn't done much, but all the benefits have been taken by himself. It's hard to believe.

Shi Tie has been in the escort agency for many years and is considered a disciple and successor to the agency.

If he took the Cloud-Treading Shoes, the other party might be magnanimous and not care, but there would definitely be people in his team who would be dissatisfied.

For example, Senior Brother Feng Sheng has always regarded himself as Shi Tie's vanguard, and he has a violent temper, so he is likely to cause trouble.

Li Cunxiao now just wants to concentrate on practicing martial arts, and stable development is more important than anything else.

On the contrary, if he gave up the Cloud-Treading Shoes, he could not only build a good relationship with Shi Tie, but also leave a good impression in Zhang Lishi's mind.

Now that the two people with the most say in the escort agency have been dealt with, can't the Li brothers do whatever they want in the future?

Furthermore, Li Cunxiao knew he was incapable of exploring the secrets of Tiankeng Lake. He would definitely have to rely on Zhang Lishi, Shi Tie, and even the Cui brothers for help.

Leave a good impression of knowing when to advance and when to retreat in advance, and then reap rewards. Even if Li Cunxiao did nothing, Zhang Lishi would be more partial to him and give him more benefits because of this.

Need I say more about how to weigh the pros and cons between immediate and long-term interests?
"But Master, you just said that the Cloud-Stepping Shoes are equivalent to the blessing of a low-grade physical martial art, without having to worry about demons invading the mind?"

"What's the relationship between this magic treasure and the devil?"

Li Cunxiao took the initiative to change the subject without waiting for the three to speak.

However, in the eyes of Zhang Lishi and others, this was a treasure that was firmly refused. For a moment, their favorable impression of Li Cunxiao increased greatly.

He is extremely talented and knows how to act appropriately. He is also sincere to the escort agency, his master, and his fellow disciples.

The phrase "the company is my home" has been used so many times in later generations, but when Li Cunxiao expressed it directly at this time, it showed his breadth of mind and vision.

The key point is that he is not just talking, he is really humble when others benefit from it!
"Sanlang, you're already at the muscle realm, so you must be able to sense the restlessness of the demon within you sometimes experience after taking a demon, right?"

Zhang Lishi's eyes became softer as he looked at his young disciple, but Li Cunxiao had a strange expression on his face when he heard that.

With the vajra suppressing him, the tiger demon in his body lived like a grandson. Normally, he didn't dare to come out. He would only show up when he entered the explosive state.

Not to mention being restless, there's not even a twitch.
"The so-called demon is originally formed by the evil thoughts of human beings. With the help of the great medicine, it turns from virtual to real. The warrior and the demon have become one."

"The further a warrior cultivates, the stronger the demon becomes. Therefore, the essence of martial arts is actually to fight the demon and fight against oneself."

"If we become lax and lazy one day, the devil will take advantage of the opportunity and the warrior will be on the verge of going mad and possessed."

"You also saw Senior Brother take action during this autumn hunt, right? Master, of the two martial arts I possess, the Tiger Demon Fist only reaches the muscle realm. If I want to break through to a higher realm, I must use the induction magic and use the Yaksha evil spirit to ascend to the internal organs."

"With the blessing of two demons in my body, my strength has greatly increased, but the risks can be imagined."

"The power of the magic treasure lies in the fact that it does not require cultivation, and it contains at least one demon head."

"Magic treasures are just tools after all. Use them when needed and seal them away when not in use. This way, they won't easily disturb your mind."

"Besides, the Cloud-Stepping Shoes are still a demon fetus, and haven't yet conceived a demon. Although they have lost their upper limit for improvement, they are safer."

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxiao subconsciously asked:

"Then how many magic treasures does our escort agency have?"

"One. The three great families in the inner city combined don't have more than five. When you have the chance in the future, I will let you see them."

"Master, you said that the Tiger Demon Fist only affects the muscles. Is there any follow-up to this boxing technique?"

"Yes, this boxing technique was taught to me by a Taoist master when I was young. That Taoist master came from a great Taoist sect."

"According to him, this boxing style is just an entry-level martial art, used to select disciples. Unfortunately, I later..."

Li Cunxiao was surprised and fascinated to hear that the Tiger Demon Fist was only the entry-level martial art of a major Taoist sect. However, he was unaware that Shi Tie and Zhang Yuelu, who were standing beside him, were also shocked.

Zhang Lishi always avoided talking about these old secrets. In the huge Zhang Mansion and escort agency, apart from the eldest disciple Shi Tie and the third wife Zhang Yuelu, only Madam Zhang, his bedmate, knew about them.

Now that he was telling Li Cunxiao everything he knew, it was obvious that Zhang Lishi's humble act of giving up the treasure had made him completely accept Li Cunxiao.

But the two of them had no dissatisfaction in their hearts, only relief and joy, and there was a bit more intimacy in their eyes when they looked at Li Cunxiao.

This kind of intimacy was never shown when facing other fellow disciples.

So when Shen He saw the three people coming out of Zhang Lishi's carriage chatting and laughing, he felt jealous again.

"We have been disciples for many years, and have served Master Zhang diligently and attentively, yet we have never received such treatment. Li Sanlang has only been a disciple for two months, yet even Shi Tie and Zhang Yuelu treat him differently."

Jiang Qi naturally didn't feel comfortable watching this scene, but she was still somewhat sober.

"Brother Shen Shi, our talents are vastly different from Li Cunxiao's. Furthermore, we come from prominent families, so Master Zhang must have some grudges against us. This man is now valued by Master Zhang, so we can only win him over, not make him our enemy."

Upon hearing this, Shen He took a deep breath and forced himself to look away.

"Don't worry, I haven't lost my mind yet." He sneered as he inadvertently glanced at Ye Chengxiao who was in a daze in the distance.

"I thought he was a talented, unpolished gem, but he couldn't withstand such a blow. It really made me waste all my efforts."

"If you have any ambition, you should compete with that Li Sanlang, huh!"

After Shen He finished speaking, he turned away. Jiang Qi sighed and returned to his carriage.

Ye Chengxiao sat on the cart with lifeless eyes, and no matter how Xiao Mei tried to persuade him, he looked indifferent.

His eyes wandered around, following Li Cunxiao as he rode back and forth on horseback.

The other party was bringing his younger brother, Shi Tie, and Zhang Yuelu to distribute some roasted meat and bread to the accompanying bodyguards.

Camping outside, the young masters of various families and the escort leaders of the escort agencies have servants to serve them, and their lives are no different from those in the city.

However, many escorts and their servants had not even had breakfast before the autumn hunt ended hastily.

It just so happened that they had harvested a lot of wild game while hunting. Some low-level monster meat could be simply processed without causing any major problems when eaten. Instead, it was very nutritious. Zhang Lishi simply shared the food with everyone as a reward.

"Look at Li Cunxiao. Two months ago he was just a waiter in a restaurant, but now he's so proud of himself that he's using the gifts given by Master Zhang to win people's hearts."

"Junior brother, all of this should have been yours."

"Shut up," Ye Chengxiao suddenly spoke. Xiao Mei did not take it as an offense, but felt happy instead.

I'm not afraid of the other person getting angry, I'm just afraid of not having any reaction at all.

"Junior brother, your talent is not inferior to his. The muscle realm is only the beginning of the martial arts, and there is still a long way to go. Who says Li Cunxiao will definitely have the last laugh?" "As long as you cheer up, I will help you, the Xiao family will help you, and even the Ye family must pay attention to you."

"You just need to accumulate your experience and then you can make a breakthrough. Who knows, one day, Li Cunxiao might meet with some misfortune? Under Master Zhang, who else can compare to you?"

Xiao Mei became more and more excited as she spoke, and in her description, it was like a beautiful picture of a latecomer.

Ye Chengxiao seemed to be excited as well, his body trembling, and he finally uttered a word with difficulty.

"roll."

Xiao Mei froze for a moment, suppressing her anger and wanting to say something else, but Ye Chengxiao stood up, jumped onto a horse in three or two steps, and rode away.

Tears fell silently and shattered in the wind.

He didn't want to hear anything right now.

He knew that this time, he had lost completely!

Xiao Mei looked at the galloping horse in the distance, her face ashen, delicate snake scales faintly emerging on her neck, giving her a unique beauty amidst the weirdness.

"You don't know how to appreciate my kindness! If Xiao Ji hadn't been forcing me from behind, who would have been there to appease a young master from a side branch like you?"

After taking a few deep breaths and waiting for the waves in her chest to calm down, Xiao Mei glanced at the Li brothers who were mingling with the escorts in the distance, with a dark look in her eyes.

Xiao Ji was extremely angry when his magic treasure was taken away, but he did not dare to attack Li Cunxiao directly at this critical juncture.

Knowing that Xiao Mei had seduced Ye Chengxiao, the plan of sowing discord and killing someone with a borrowed knife became a natural thing to do.

Who would have thought that Ye Chengxiao, who was always obedient, would be so rude to her?
If Xiao Mei didn't want to use him to compete with Li Cunxiao, she would have squeezed this tactless young man dry tonight to vent her anger.

"No rush. It's only been a few days since Li Cunxiao achieved a muscle breakthrough. Even if he's a genius, it's hard for him to make significant progress in two or three months. He's no better than Ye Chengxiao."

"Ye Chengxiao is young and angry for a moment. I'm not afraid that he won't take the bait if I use some tricks afterwards."

After all, he was the old Sea King, so Xiao Mei was confident that she could control Ye Chengxiao. Before that, she would not hesitate to put some effort into Li Sanlang.

If they could really hook up, with the support of Li Cunxiao, Zhang Lishi's close disciple, there would be no need to worry about Xiao Ji, the legitimate daughter of the first wife, ordering him around.

As for two-timing - don't men just like bad women?
"Li Biaotou"

"Why call him Li Biaotou? Call him Sanlang!"

Li Cunxiao pretended to be displeased and stuffed the barbecue and flatbread into Gao Hu's hands.

Seeing this, Qian Yu, who was standing by, became less reserved. He walked forward with a smile, picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It tastes great! The head escort was so generous that he even sprinkled spices in it."

The escorts next to them were also eating happily, with their mouths full of oil. Seeing this, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but smile.

When grilling the meat, he specially skinned and chopped up several demons he had shot, and mixed them with the venison and tiger meat, which were already very nutritious.

In this way, dozens of people ate it all, so that the escort agency would not find anything wrong when preparing the monster meat later.

The pure flesh and blood without any evil spirit is not the time to be exposed yet.

But then again, hunting can not only obtain evil spirits, but also obtain the pure blood of demon meat.

Separating them this way is better than eating the meat directly from the black market Chai Gang.

After all, meat with a high content of evil energy also contains a lot of impurities. Not only will you have to excrete frequently after eating it, but the body will also be able to absorb less.

Moreover, if you go out hunting by yourself, you can save a lot of money, which can be used to buy other necessary medicines, armor, and weapons.

What's more, I brought home another BMW today. Friends who have bought cars know that cars are expensive, but maintaining them is even more expensive.

Tianma is the super horse among horses. It is okay to let Shi Yifu take care of it in the short term, but it is not good to keep it in the escort agency all the time.

Who would park a Ferrari in someone else's garage?
"Sanlang, I never would have thought that what I just said casually would come true! The chief escort's disciple is really amazing!"

Qian Yu is a wine lover, and he always carries a few pounds of rice wine in his water bag.

He ate the barbecue and drank a few sips of wine. Perhaps it was the blood in the monster meat or the effect of the alcohol, but his face soon turned red.

"What are you talking about, Brother Qian? Without the appreciation of the Chief Escort, I would still be working as a waiter in a restaurant."

"Brothers, let's drink to the Escort Agency and the Chief Escort!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

As the wine and drinks went down, everyone became more and more lively. Li Cunxiao had no airs and was very friendly with everyone.

Mu Cha's little face was also flushed. He followed Zhang Yuelu into the crowd of women from various families, causing bursts of cheerful laughter from time to time.

After resting, the convoy continued its journey and did not arrive at the gate of Chuqiu County until dusk.

At this time, sharp-eyed people saw a small crowd gathered at the city gate, talking a lot. When the convoy got closer, Li Cunxiao realized that it was a new notice issued by the county government.

Two hours ago.

With the rumble of horse hooves, a team of knights galloped through the city, scaring passers-by into retreating in a hurry, and finally stopped in front of Murong Mansion.

"Oh!"

The door to the backyard was suddenly blown open. Murong Bai's face was as gloomy as he looked at his daughter who was unconscious on the bed. The bandage on her right arm was oozing bright red.

Seeing the beautiful woman next to him still crying, he couldn't help but frown:
"Where's the eldest son?"

Upon hearing this, the close confidant stepped forward tremblingly.

"The eldest son went berserk and injured Miss Seventh, then fled the mansion. We haven't heard of any murders taking place there yet."

"Mobilize all the people in the palace and go find them immediately!"

After all the outsiders left the room, Murong Bo suddenly slapped the beautiful woman in the face, his expression ferocious:
"Stupid woman! Who told you to go see Bo'er without my permission? Do you want to kill him?"

The woman covered her face with the palm prints, not only was she not afraid, but she also screamed:

"It's all your fault! You're practicing martial arts to turn my perfectly healthy son into a half-human, half-ghost!"

"He came out of my belly! What's wrong with a mother wanting to see her son?"

Murong Bo's face turned pale and his breathing became extremely heavy, but after a moment, he calmed down. He walked out of the room without saying a word and instructed the housekeeper:
"A strong man broke into the mansion and injured the third lady. The lady was also frightened and had a stroke. The eldest son chased the murderer and left the mansion."

"Have the government immediately issue a notice stating that the Plum Blossom Thief, who was elusive three years ago, has reappeared and is offering a reward."

"If anyone comes forward with clues, once they are confirmed to be true, they will be killed on the spot! No one who has seen the eldest young master will be spared!"

Murong Bo watched coldly as his hysterical wife was carried away by several strong women, and then he turned away.

"If you have any accurate information about the eldest son, notify me immediately!"
