Chapter 10 True Face

"I don't have time to mess around with you!!"

The dark figure suddenly shouted:
"Hand over the inherited real skills and the so-called 'Blood Burning Pill' left by Dalang quickly! As long as you hand it over, young master, I promise that I will not hurt you in the slightest!"

"I see."

Zhou Qingshan's eyes were indifferent and fearless. He said slowly:
"What I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away!"

The eldest brother was well educated and by chance was spotted by Master Gu from the Changfeng Escort Agency, and he became an escort master under him.

Don't underestimate the escort!
The escort agencies in this world are one of the few forces that dare to venture into the wilderness and fog and hunt exotic beasts. Their strength is second only to the dynasties, martial arts sects, and spiritual weapon families.

It is the most powerful martial arts force among the people.

The inherited skills left by such a person are naturally extraordinary!
"What are you pretending for?!" The man was so angry that he laughed. He lowered his head and was about to take out the short knife in his arms, saying, "Young man, don't force me."

The words are not finished yet.

puff! !
While he was talking with his head down, the seemingly harmless Zhou Qingshan suddenly jumped up, quickly pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve, turned his wrist, and accurately stabbed the man's throat.

Then, Zhou Qingshan covered the other person's mouth and nose tightly with his palms.

"Uh-huh. Uh-huh."

The man's eyes were full of fear and confusion, and he struggled to let out a few whimpers.

He couldn't understand how such a seemingly weak and kind-hearted young man could suddenly become so cruel and ruthless.

If I had known earlier, I would have attacked him with a brick and knocked him unconscious first, and then slowly interrogated him.

Unfortunately, he and Zhou Qingshan had been living together for many years and knew Zhou Qingshan's physical condition too well. That body that seemed like it would fall over at the slightest gust of wind was too deceptive, making him feel in his heart that he could easily control Zhou Qingshan.

Puff! Sizzle!
Seeing that the man was still breathing, Zhou Qingshan stabbed the man's heart several times in the chest without hesitation, until the man's body completely relaxed, his hands fell limply, and there was no possibility of survival.

"huhuhuhu"

Seeing this, Zhou Qingshan let go of his hand and sat down to the side, breathing heavily. It was obvious that this action had consumed most of his energy.

After resting for a while, Zhou Qingshan recovered some strength, put away the knife and barely picked up the corpse.

Swish!
The thought flashed into the Yunding chessboard.

It was still a warm and balmy day here.

After doing all this, Zhou Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the man's body. He was skinny and had only a few pounds of flesh on his body. He was not much stronger than him.

His face was old, his hair was gray, his pupils were wide open, and he looked full of astonishment. It was obvious that he died with his eyes open.

This person is Manager Zhang.

This was not the first time Zhou Qingshan had killed someone, so he did not feel uncomfortable. He just felt a little exhausted now.

There is no entertainment, no mobile phones, no novels here at night, it's so boring.

However, this martial art that allows one to move high and far is extremely coveted. He is weak and lacks strength, and cannot kill people with his fists and feet, but killing people does not require much strength. A child can kill an adult by stabbing him in the vitals with a knife.

This stab was not a martial arts move; it relied on the sharpness of the weapon and the surprise attack.

Just three simple moves.

Hide the knife - take out the knife - seal the throat!
Zhou Qingshan suffered a great loss in Black Cloud City when he was eight years old, and only then did he see the true face of this cruel world. He then insisted on practicing for an hour every night, and now he can move his body at will.

Manager Zhang was a rookie who was doing this for the first time, and he underestimated his enemy and was simply courting death!
The reason why Zhou Qingshan dared to lure the person in the dark to show up alone was because he could enter and exit the Yunding chessboard world with just a thought.

The person in the dark only dared to do some small actions behind the scenes. Obviously, his strength would not exceed Uncle Zhao and the guards! He was not really able to drive the beasts!

Zhou Qingshan gave the person in the dark an opportunity and transferred all the members of the guard team away.

I thought I would have to wait a few days, but I didn't expect Manager Zhang to be so decisive. He sneaked into the house that night and scared Zhou Qingshan.

If Manager Zhang has accomplices, Zhou Qingshan only needs to see their appearance clearly and immediately enter the Yunding chessboard world, and then wait until tomorrow to come out and gather the guards to kill them. He doesn't want to play hide-and-seek!

"Ahem. I don't understand."

Zhou Qingshan stared at the corpse with indifferent eyes, coughed lightly a few times, wiped the blood off his hands, and said to himself:
"Are you so sure that I'm going to die soon? Are you so eager to find a good place for your grandson?"

Manager Zhang was promoted by Zhou Qingshan himself, who appointed a slave as a manager to help the Zhou family deal with all kinds of chores, big and small.

Zhou Qingshan did not treat Manager Zhang unfairly, and it could even be said that he treated him well.

His eldest brother and second sister became foreign warriors to give back to their family, and he also paid to send the three best friends in Shengfeng County to the martial arts hall.

One of them was the grandson of Manager Zhang. The martial arts hall was similar to the "imperial examination" and "school" in the previous life. It was a school jointly run by the Zhao court and the martial arts mountain gate, aiming to select martial arts geniuses from major cities and rural spiritual realms and replenish new blood.

If one has a great talent for martial arts and is recommended by a teacher, one can choose to enter a martial arts school directly, or join the imperial court and go to a big city for further study.

Moreover, the threshold for entering the martial arts hall is not high.

One is that only children between the ages of eight and fourteen are accepted, and they must be guaranteed and recommended by nobles with registered residence in Black Cloud City to prevent them from being evil or rebels.

The second is to charge a tuition fee of ten Baoyuan per period, for a half-year period, and the martial arts hall will provide the lowest-level medicine, food and accommodation.

Of course, compared to "big medicine" and "exotic beast meat", this tuition fee can be said to be very cheap.

The annual tribute paid by Shengfengling was not paid in vain.

According to the dynasty regulations, the city lord who ruled a place could only have a maximum of 3,000 direct combat soldiers, and the rest must be laid off after the land was reclaimed.

Every time there is a policy from the top, there is a countermeasure from the bottom.

The lords and guards of their rural small spiritual realm are the source of combat troops for Black Cloud City.

As long as the war breaks out, the Lord of Black Cloud City will raise his arm and call for help, and each household in these hundreds of rural spiritual realms will have at least dozens of people and at most over a hundred people, and tens of thousands of soldiers, and they are elite soldiers, can be recruited at once.

This is also the reason why the Lord of Black Cloud City is willing to share such a large profit from the Rural Spirit Realm with the soldiers.

These three places to practice martial arts can be worth several hundred treasure yuan if sold in Black Cloud City, but if the guarantee is so casual, you will be held accountable if something goes wrong!

In serious cases, you will be held accountable!
The tuition fee of twenty Baoyuan a year, plus the opportunity to learn martial arts, not to mention other things, the twenty Baoyuan alone is something that an ordinary family can never earn in a lifetime.

This is equivalent to those who worked hard in the previous life to support their children's education, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and in the end raised a child who was ungrateful. No one can understand this.

Zhou Qingshan searched the corpse for a long time and took out three hundred coins and a short knife from it.

However, nothing was found that might be the innate organs of the alien beasts.

Zhou Qingshan put away the copper coins, put the dagger aside, stood up, dragged the corpse and threw it off the edge of the Yunding chessboard.

God knows what's down there, he doesn't care, he just doesn't want to stay with the corpse.

"Obtain an essence."

Just as the corpse fell from the island and disappeared into the clouds, a piece of information suddenly emerged in Zhou Qingshan's mind.

“Essence?!!”

Zhou Qingshan was startled and looked carefully. He saw a tiny light blue number "1" under his right eye. It was not an illusion.

"Killing someone and getting an essence? The essence is the essence of a person's soul, or..." Zhou Qingshan's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he soon had an idea of ​​the source of the essence.

Zhou Qingshan's face suddenly showed surprise.

"It seems that the Cloud Top Chessboard still has other functions that have not been damaged. What is this essence used for?"

"Summon chess pieces! Purchase chess pieces!"

quiet.
quiet.
The Cloud Top chessboard is unresponsive.

"How do I use this essence? The question is, what shops are there here? How do I summon chess pieces?"

Zhou Qingshan thought for a long time without any result, and reached out to rub his eyebrows in a slightly annoyed state.

Suddenly, he looked at his palm and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, as if he thought of something.

Zhou Qingshan quickly focused his attention on himself, thinking about summoning himself as a chess piece.

Swish!
As the essence disappeared, a mysterious golden light rushed into his body.

The idea of ​​using myself as a chess piece was successful at once!

【Chess piece: Zhou Qingshan (only one).】

【Bond: Not activated.】

【Spirit: 0.4396】

[Skill: Pharmacist (0/100)]

【Essence: None.】
