Chapter 420 Iron Arm Zhou Tong
Chapter 420 Iron Arm Zhou Tong
"I have heard of Mr. Lu's great name, but I don't know how capable he is. Mr. Lu is a guest from afar. You can choose to fight on foot, on horseback, or with a bow and arrow. We brothers will accompany you to the end."
These military generals have been fighting with enemy countries for years, have experienced real fighting on the battlefield, and have been promoted step by step based on their military merits. Naturally, they look down on people from the underworld.
Lu Cheng didn't waste any words: "We can fight on foot, on horseback, or with bows and arrows. You can all fight together, and it will save time."
Hearing Lu Cheng's arrogant tone, one of the captains stood up and said, "You are so arrogant! Let me fight with you first!"
After saying that, the man drew the sword from his waist and rushed straight towards Lu Cheng. His moves were simple and neat, without any delay.
Lu Cheng also took out the single-edged sword from his waist. Without unsheathing the sword, he used the scabbard to instantly deflect the opponent's powerful sword attack. Then he held the handle horizontally and placed the scabbard against the opponent's throat.
This man's martial arts skills were indeed good, and he was stronger than Shi Jin when he first met Lu Cheng. He was indeed a brave warrior on the battlefield. But he met Lu Cheng, so he could only be defeated in one move.
Seeing that Lu Cheng defeated a powerful general in the army with just one move, the other generals looked at each other and dared not underestimate Lu Cheng anymore. They took out their weapons and attacked Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng's trip was to make connections, not to challenge others. He wanted to demonstrate his strength, but also not let the other party lose too badly.
The one-on-one battle just now was won cleanly and efficiently. It can also be said that the opponent underestimated the enemy and was careless, so he left some face for the opponent.
This time, four or five generals are attacking together. If they can still be solved in three or five moves, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Therefore, Lu Cheng deliberately retained some strength this time, drew his sword, and stood together with the other men. The fight was fierce and difficult to resolve.
The exciting fight made the surrounding soldiers excited and cheered in unison.
But a master like Wang Jin could see that Lu Cheng was holding back. Even the old Mr. Zhong Jinglüe on the high platform saw the trick, but just smiled and said nothing.
In a blink of an eye, Lu Cheng had already fought with several generals for dozens of moves.
Seeing that they couldn't take down Lu Cheng, and couldn't even gain any advantage, they became a little anxious, and the attack became a little chaotic.
The show was almost over, so Lu Cheng no longer held back. He seized the flaws of several people and eliminated them one by one.
After the intense competition, several generals were a little out of breath, but Lu Cheng remained calm and saluted to everyone: "Everyone, thank you for letting me."
They all felt a little ashamed, but they still clasped their fists in return: "Mr. Lu is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Master Zhong laughed and said, "There is no false reputation under a great name. You guys are usually so arrogant. Today you have met a true master, right? Lu Cheng, come back with me and let's have a good chat."
After seeing Lu Cheng's abilities, Zong Shidao valued him even more.
After returning to the mansion, Zhong Shidao said directly: "Lu Cheng, I heard that you are still studying in the provincial school. Have you read military books and strategies?"
"Read some."
"Oh? Then I want to test you..."
Afterwards, Zhong Shidao asked about military knowledge, and Lu Cheng was able to answer fluently, and even put forward some of his own ideas, which surprised Zhong Shiheng. Then he directly invited him: "Lu Cheng, are you willing to join my army? If you are willing, I can let you start from the position of accompanying military lieutenant."
Although the Peirong Xiaolie is only of the ninth rank, he can be an officer with a rank.
"Thank you, General Manager, for your appreciation. Lu is not in the army, and my family has a business."
"That's a pity. However, if you can use this ability to protect the people in your village, that would be great."
Afterwards, Lu Cheng stayed in the governor's mansion for another three days, discussing military strategies with Zhong Shidao every day and they had a very pleasant conversation.
When Lu Cheng left, Zhong Shidao gave Lu Cheng a fine horse from the Western Regions as a gift.
At the same time, Shi Jin also gave most of his money to his master Wang Jin.
Afterwards, the two continued on their journey to Yanmen County, Daizhou.
"Brother Lu, why are we going to Yanmen County?"
"I got the news earlier that there is a master living in seclusion in Yanmen County. This time we are going to look for that master."
"What kind of expert is this that would make Brother Lu travel thousands of miles to find him?"
"You should have heard of Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, and Lu Junyi, the Jade Unicorn who is known as the best in the world with a stick and one of the three best in Hebei, right?"
"Of course I have heard of these. Could it be that the master is related to these two?"
"Yes, this expert should be the master of Master Lin and Yu Qilin."
"If there is such a thing, then we really have to go look for it."
Along the way, Shi Jin had already become Lu Cheng's little fanboy, and he admired Lu Cheng to the extreme. Hearing that Lu Cheng praised the master so much, he naturally wanted to see him.
After another half a month's journey, the two finally arrived in Yanmen County, Daizhou.
After asking some locals, I found out the location of Wenshu Temple in Wutai Mountain.
Afterwards, the two of them took a brief rest and set off for Manjusri Temple.
After giving some incense money to the monks in the temple, Lu Cheng met the Elder Zhizhen.
This Elder Zhizhen is over seventy years old, but he is still energetic, with bright eyes, a tall and strong body, and a pair of arms that are much longer than those of ordinary people. Looking at his back, he looks like a fierce general in the army, but his face is kind and gentle.
When the old monk saw Lu Cheng and the others, he first looked Shi Jin up and down, nodded, and then looked at Lu Cheng again, and exclaimed in surprise: "This face of the donor is really extraordinary, and it is invaluable."
"Master, can you also read faces?"
"How can I read faces? I just see a lot of people, so I can see some of the tricks. The two donors specifically asked me for my name, so they don't want to listen to me preach, do they?"
"Excuse me, Master, is my surname Zhou and my name Dong?"
"Yes, it is me."
Shi Jin, who was standing by, was also surprised: "You are the legendary Shaanxi hero Iron Arm Zhou Tong? No wonder."
"So, you two are here to challenge me in a fistfight?"
"Master, you were able to teach Lu Junyi, the Jade Unicorn, Lin Chong, the instructor of the Eight Hundred Thousand Imperial Guards, and Shi Wengong, the instructor. Naturally, we would like to ask the master for advice."
"Since I have become a monk, I have not fought with anyone for a long time. My martial arts skills have long been abandoned. I am afraid that I will disappoint the two donors."
"Master, you are joking. I am well versed in medical theory. Seeing that your face is rosy, your blood is full, and your hands are still calloused, it is obvious that your kung fu is still there."
"This donor Lu has steady steps, eyes like lightning, and his energy and blood are much more abundant than an old monk like me. Why does he come here to embarrass an old monk?"
"Master, I came here not to fight with you. I want to exchange the method of inner cultivation."
Before meeting Zhou Tong, Lu Cheng had met Lu Zhishen, Wang Jin, Wu Song, Chao Gai and others, all of whom had no traces of internal cultivation methods. Lu Cheng had not originally thought of finding other internal cultivation methods, his main purpose was to find some prescriptions.
But after seeing the old monk, Lu Cheng knew from his breathing that the old monk must have practiced some breathing technique. The intensity of his breathing was far beyond that of ordinary people. The whole person sitting there looked kind and harmless, but in fact he was like a crouching tiger.
"Donor Lu has indeed taken this step, I admire you. I have indeed learned this method of internal cultivation, and I also know some prescriptions for internal cultivation of internal organs. If Donor Lu can answer a few of my questions, I can give you all these."
"Master, please ask."
