Chapter 38 Preparing for leaving the city
"Qiu Da is gone. He must have gone to several other houses to ask for help."
Yue Yunjin walked quickly into the courtyard, not forgetting to close the door.
Several companies in the inner and outer cities of Gaoliu County originally had the responsibility to cooperate with the county government in arresting the murderers. They could not refuse, and naturally other companies could not refuse.
"Um."
Tang Tong sat on the Taishi chair, holding a teacup in his hand, and slowly looked at the ten apprentices in the courtyard:
"Why, you don't even want to go?"
Li Yuan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that all the apprentices had their heads lowered, obviously unwilling to go, but no one dared to speak.
It was Yue Yunjin who raised his hand:
"Master, there's nothing wrong with us, but Junior Brother Li has only been practicing martial arts for seven or eight months. Isn't it too early to go out to practice now?"
"What is early and what is late? When you travel around the world in the future, will your enemies let you go because of this?"
Tang Tong snorted coldly and put down the tea cup:
"Practicing martial arts is never about hard work, and fighting skills is not about brushing human stakes to achieve success."
"To practice martial arts, you need to be bold!"
call!
Tang Tong stood up, raised his hand and clapped his hands, and the wind-filled sleeves passed by the faces of the apprentices.
Li Yuan's eyes blurred, and the strong wind hurt his face. He subconsciously closed his eyes and backed away. The other apprentices also screamed and backed away, but no one could react.
"Close your eyes? If you close your eyes, I won't hit you? If you really close your eyes when fighting with others, you can be killed in one blow!"
Tang Tong stood on the steps, overlooking the crowd, his eyes like an eagle:
"For martial arts practitioners, what is the core? Fighting method? Breathing method? Training method? Stance skills? None of them. Guts is the real core!"
All the apprentices were so scolded that they could not lift their heads. Li Yuan's heartbeat accelerated. When Tang Tong grabbed his face with his big hand, his mind went blank and he completely forgot all the moves and techniques.
"Be bold..."
Li Yuan was thoughtful.
"I'm afraid of this, and I'm afraid of that. Why don't we just go home and farm, why practice martial arts?!"
Tang Tong scolded loudly.
The apprentices all admitted their mistakes one after another, their faces flushed with shame, and they stopped talking.
"Wu Ming, take them to the warehouse to collect weapons. Yun Jin, please keep them for a while!"
After hearing this, all the apprentices resigned one after another, feeling a little relieved. Tang Tong, with his full aura, was indeed a bit scary.
"Master, I understand!"
Yue Yunjin bowed for a long time:
"You were right not to let me go out of the city to sweep the mountains with my senior brothers before. Although I have great hammering skills, I am not as capable and courageous as my senior brothers..."
"You know shit!"
Tang Tong glared at him and lowered his voice:
"That year, the nine-year-old sneak attack on Qiu Da failed. Qiu Long's move penetrated his heart and lungs. Even if he survived by chance, most of him was crippled. The tiger was about to die, and we were in front of it, so what are you afraid of?"
"ah?"
Yue Yunjin was stunned: "You..."
"I need to stay with Qiu Long. I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of you."
Tang Tong sat down, picked up the teacup again, and looked at Yue Yunjin with squinted eyes:
"Although your junior brother Li is not bad in talent, he has not been practicing martial arts for a long time. You need to take more care of him this time when you are out of the city..."
Yue Yunjin breathed slightly, clasped his fists and lowered his head:
"Disciple noted it down."
…
The White Ape Cloak Hammer can be divided into fighting methods and training methods.
Hammers can also be divided into training hammers, forging hammers, hammer soldiers, and hammer soldiers can be divided into long-handled hammers, short-handled hammers, chain hammers, etc.
A real weapon hammer is not a wooden handle with a hammer head, but is made entirely of fine steel. It is more than one meter long and has a hammer head as big as a fist. It weighs twenty kilograms and the average apprentice cannot swing it at all.
"Weapon hammers are real weapons. With our hammering skills, even a bison can be killed with just one hit. If it were a human being, hum..."
In the warehouse, Wu Ming pointed to the weapon rack and motioned for a group of juniors to choose.
As the only senior brother in the inner courtyard who has mastered the Three Hammer Techniques, Wu Ming's physique ranks among the top three among the people Li Yuan has ever seen. He is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has great strength.
The first one is naturally Qin Xiong.
The apprentices were obviously very familiar with each other and were choosing on their own.
Wu Ming picked one that was as thick as his arm and weighed it. When he saw Li Yuan picking up a long hammer, his eyelids couldn't help but jump:
"Junior brother Li, your blood energy is a little weak, it's best to choose a lighter one. If it's too heavy, you can easily hurt yourself."
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
Li Yuan raised the hammer up, almost as high as his eyebrows. The head of the hammer was very small, and the body of the hammer was not thick, but it probably weighed about thirty kilograms:
"I think this hammer is very good and easy to use."
This hammer is certainly good.
In the past few months, Li Yuan has been in and out of the warehouse many times, and he is very familiar with the weapons in the warehouse. This hammer can be ranked among the top five hammer soldiers.
[Long-handled melon hammer (first level)]
[Made of black gold mixed with cooked copper, it is powerful and heavy...]
[Conditions for mastery: Small success in Hammer Technique]
[Control effect: Take root immediately, sink with great force, break horizontally and practice armor]
There were many hammer soldiers in the warehouse, many of the first level, and the second level ones also had three handles, but Li Yuan still chose this one. First of all, the hammer had to be returned after use, so he couldn't control it.
Secondly, those hammers are much heavier than this one, and this one has a long handle.
"this……"
Wu Ming frowned slightly, but was too lazy to care: "That's up to you."
The other apprentices looked at each other with subtle expressions.
Weapons, heavier is not always better.
"After you have picked it, log in and register it. When you return to the city, you can hand it back. If it is lost, your monthly payment will be deducted for at least two years!"
After leaving the warehouse, Wu Ming and others dispersed to prepare for leaving the city tomorrow.
"Junior Brother Li, why did you choose such a heavy one?"
Warehouse guard Wang Hu frowned:
"This hammer is really powerful, but how many times can you dance? Carrying it on the road is going to be exhausting! I won't register it yet. You can quickly change it..."
"Thank you Brother Hu for reminding me, but I'm just following you and don't need to take action. It doesn't matter if you focus on it lightly."
Li Yuan smiled, thanked Wang Hu, and went to prepare to leave the city tomorrow.
By the way, go and tell Zhang Bi.
Zhang Bi had no objection to him leaving the city. He just gave him a bottle of trauma medicine and told him to be careful on the road and run when he needed to.
"Nianjiu..."
In the small courtyard, Liu Qing was asked to buy some things for him, while Li Yuan stood with a hammer, familiar with the newly acquired weapon.
Hammer soldiers use force to injure people and use force to sink them.
It is the best at breaking armor. Even if a warrior with internal strength is hit, it will cause broken bones and internal bleeding. It is a truly powerful weapon.
It's better to be stabbed than hammered, that's the truth.
"The feel is very different from that of a forging hammer, but is it more suitable for military fighting and killing hammers?"
Caressing the body of the hammer, Li Yuan felt quite comfortable.
Familiar with hundreds of weapons, proficient in long weapons, and talented in weaponry, plus the blessing of the perfection-level hammer technique, he got started quickly and was immersed in it before long.
Fatty Sun, who had lost a lot of weight, had his eyelids twitching and felt guilty.
"Isn't this kid already grown up?"
…
…
There was nothing to say all night, and Li Yuan didn't get up early to practice Kungfu the next day. He packed his bags early, mainly only a little dry food and copper coins.
"The price of pills has increased. A bottle of Blood Accumulating Pill costs six taels of silver. One pill is almost as much as my second brother's monthly salary. He is really poor and wealthy."
Li Yuan felt a little painful as he clutched the blood accumulating pill he just bought.
The money he earned from blacksmithing was not enough to spend. He had not left home for several months, and his debt reached a new high, a full fifty-three taels, plus one tael of gold.
He had emptied half of Fatty Sun's family fortune, and he didn't want to borrow any more money.
"When I return to the city this time, I have to find a way to get rid of those pearls. Well, I also have to find a way to make money. Taking on debt to practice martial arts is not a long-term solution. Fatty has to start paying it back..."
Li Yuan felt bitter, feeling like a college student in his previous life who had to pay off the debt before he graduated.
"Li Yuan, get ready to go!"
Outside the door, Wu Ming's voice sounded.
After adjusting his clothes, Li Yuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open:
Chapter completed!
