Chapter 144 A Gunshot

"Let's go meet up with Master and the others, and discuss rebuilding the martial arts school."

Li Yi was, at this moment, leisurely riding a black horse, walking on the streets of Sanyang City. Behind him, a strong eight-treasure deer followed all the way. This mountain delicacy was already a first-class spirit with high intelligence, so there was no need to worry about it getting lost.

Rong Niang said, "Master has probably rescued all the other disciples, but I don't know where they are now. It will take some time to find Master and reunite with him."

"Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I might as well go shopping and walk around Sanyang City. This is my first time in Sanyang City, and I'm a little curious about this place. How long has Rong Niang lived here?" Li Yi said.

"I have lived in Sanyang City since I was a child, and it has been twenty-seven years. I am very familiar with Sanyang City. If Senior Brother wants to go there for a trip, I can lead the way for him." Rong Niang said immediately.

Li Yi asked again, "So Rong Niang is already 27 years old, why hasn't she gotten married yet? Logically, she should have been married and had children at this age."

Rong Niang shook her head and said, "After my parents passed away, I no longer had the idea of ​​starting a family. To me, Zhao's martial arts school is my home."

"I didn't expect Rong Niang to be such a miserable person." Li Yi sighed.

"My situation is not tragic. My parents are nearly fifty years old and they are not martial artists. It is natural for them to die of illness. It's a pity that I practiced martial arts every day in those years and did not serve my parents well. I feel very regretful." Rong Niang said with a pursed mouth.

"It has been a long time since ancient times that a son wishes to support his parents but they are no longer around."

Li Yi suddenly became curious and asked, "But what I want to know is, is the life span of ordinary people like you all around fifty? Is there no one who can live to seventy or eighty?"

He had felt that this matter was a bit strange when he heard his master talk about it before, but he did not ask much about it at that time. It was only now that he asked this question during the casual chat.

Even for ancient people, medical conditions were poor, food was not enough, and life expectancy was short, but there were some people who had better conditions and could eat enough and lived longer.

Rong Niang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Li Yi to ask such a question. These were very basic common sense in the four seas and eight continents, but she still said seriously: "It's the same for everyone. They will die around fifty. It's almost impossible to live to sixty if you don't practice martial arts."

"Is it really like that?" Li Yi's eyes moved slightly.

"Yes, this is something that everyone knows. How could I fool Senior Brother about this? Maybe in Senior Brother's world, everyone lives a long life and can live to seventy or eighty, but this is not the case here." Rong Niang shook her head and said.

Li Yi said: "No, I don't think there is anything wrong with what you said, Rong Niang, but I think there is something wrong with the life span of people from all over the world."

"What do you mean by that, Senior Brother?" Rong Niang suddenly became curious.

Li Yi rode on his horse, looking at the pedestrians on the street not far away, and said slowly: "There are individual differences between people. Some die young, some are plagued by diseases, while some live long lives, some are healthy, and there is diversity among individuals. It is impossible for everyone to be almost the same, unless..."

"Unless what." Rong Niang reined in her horse and moved closer, unable to help but asking.

"Unless, the lifespan of people in the world is really determined by heaven, and heaven controls everyone's lifespan within a normal range. Only in this way, ordinary people cannot live long." Li Yi said here and looked up at the sky.

Rong Niang immediately said, "There are gods above our heads. Ghosts and gods have existed since ancient times. Master had a fight with a ghost god before, which hurt his soul, so his life span was short."

"Yin Spirit. This reminds me of what the city lord Fan Zhizhou said before. If a martial artist can reach the level of refining the spirit, he can condense the Yin Spirit, break free from the constraints of the body, and live forever in the world. Are these two related?" Li Yi asked.

Rong Niang nodded and said, "Yes, the top masters who practice spirit cultivation can turn into Yin spirits after death. Master was injured by this kind of person."

"Who is stronger, the Yin Spirit or the martial artist who has practiced the acupuncture points?" Li Yi continued.

Rong Niang showed a bit of embarrassment on her face at this time: "Brother, I have only trained my marrow, not my blood, so how would I know about this? But I have heard from Master before that although the Yin God is the incarnation of a strong man who practices the spirit after his death, because he has no body, his strength is no longer at its peak. It's just that the Yin God has strange means, which can hurt people's souls, kill people in dreams, and disappear without a trace, making it very difficult to deal with. Only masters who practice the orifices are qualified to fight the Yin God with their blood and qi. Otherwise, other warriors have no means and can only let the Yin God slaughter them. Therefore, we all fear ghosts and gods very much."

"I see."

After hearing this, Li Yi understood a little. Yin Gods are equivalent to ghosts and monsters. Ordinary people have no means to deal with ghosts and monsters. Even blood-trained warriors can only passively take the beating and die in a confused and unclear way. Masters who have practiced Qi and blood can hurt these ghosts and monsters because they can call upon the release of Qi and blood. Therefore, they are qualified to fight against Yin Gods.

But if we can master the means to restrain ghosts and monsters, does it mean that evil spirits can also be killed?

In fact, it is not just the other worlds that are like this, even Earth has few means of dealing with ghosts and monsters.

Investigators dare not intervene when they encounter supernatural things involving ghosts, because they have no good way to deal with ghosts and can only stay away from them.

"The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Maybe only the Yin God has the means to deal with it. If there is a chance, I have to ask the city lord Fan Zhizhou. This guy is a disciple of a noble family with a long heritage. There must be records in this regard." Li Yi said in his heart, and at the same time thought of the hanging spear in his home, which was the weapon of the Yin God.

If I can pick it up one day, it means that I have the ability to kill ghosts and monsters.

However, it is too early to think about these things now. He needs to hone his martial arts skills next, and improve his strength to the level of training his marrow, blood, and even his orifices.

If the evolver's body opens the nine major acupoints, absorbs blood into the acupoints, and condenses the internal energy, then Li Yi's strength will soar to the sky.

By then, what would a mere Yang Yilong be? He would be knocked down with his explosive fist force. As for his half-baked boxing skills, they were nothing but shit in front of Li Yi. No, they were even worse than shit.

Without the support of martial arts skills, not only will the achievements of boxing be limited, but it will also be impossible to fully exert its full power. Li Yi is well aware of this.

Just when Li Yi was daydreaming.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud thunder exploded in the distance, startling the precious horse under Li Yi's crotch, which immediately raised its hooves and neighed. However, after Li Yi reacted, he immediately controlled the horse and looked in the direction where the figure came from.

Others couldn't hear it, but he could.

That was not thunder, it was gunfire.

Li Yi could instantly distinguish the sound of the extraordinary M200 sniper rifle.

"A gunshot? Something happened with Zhao Qian. Go check it out immediately. Rong Niang follow up." Li Yi reacted immediately and galloped on his horse, rushing directly towards the direction where the gunshot came from.

Rong Niang immediately followed on horseback, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Under normal circumstances, all the masters of Qi training in Sanyang City were defeated by Li Yi, some dead, some injured, and no longer posed any threat. Besides, the chief escort of the Weiwu Escort Agency was also won over by the Zhao's Martial Arts School, and they were allies, not enemies. As a result, there should be no masters of Qi training among the remaining forces.

Relying on Master Zhao Ge's strength, even though he is no longer at his peak, isn't it easy to deal with those blood-training warriors?
Under this situation, Zhao Qian had no reason to fire a gun.

"That direction is the Liu family's territory for the dock and shipping business. Did Master have a conflict with the Liu family?"

Rong Niang has lived here for many years and immediately knew which force the incident occurred at. She then told Li Yi her analysis.

"The Liu family of Caoyun? Very good, I remember that this is also one of the forces to be eliminated, and their hands are stained with the blood of many disciples of the Zhao family martial arts school." Li Yi said.

"Yes, Master is probably dealing with this matter." Rong Niang said.

"We'll know what the situation is if we go over and take a look," said Li Yi.

Soon, the two men rode fast horses and hurried over. After a while, they saw a big river passing through Sanyang City. There were many ships docked on the river. Near the largest pier, there were quite a few people gathered, and there was a faint smell of blood.

It seemed that a fight had taken place here not long ago.

Li Yi rode past on his horse and saw many corpses soaking in the water nearby. All of those corpses had been quite powerful when they were alive. Some had trained their bones, some had trained their marrow, and there were even some warriors who had trained their blood.

"I see. Junior sister is on the roof over there. She's fine." Suddenly, Rong Niang stretched out her hand and pointed, and found Zhao Qian squatting on the roof with a sniper rifle in her hand.

At this moment, the sniper rifle in Zhao Qian's hand seemed to be aiming in one direction, as if she wanted to shoot and kill an enemy at any time.

Among the crowd in front, there were sounds of fists echoing and raging internal energy, as if two masters who had practiced acupuncture were fighting each other.

"Is there any master who has practiced acupuncture in Sanyang City? Let's go there immediately." Li Yi's eyes focused, feeling a little surprised.

The water in Sanyang City is a little too deep.

Whether it is Master Zhao Ge or Rong Niang, on the surface they only know that the owners of the Han and Jin martial arts schools and the city lord of Sanyang City are masters of practicing Qigong. In fact, after the water was really muddied, several masters of practicing Qigong suddenly emerged, such as the old servant in the city lord's mansion and the chief escort of the Weiwu Escort Agency. With this one, there are already three more masters of practicing Qigong.

But then Li Yi could understand it. After all, in a city as big as Sanyang, it was normal to have a few masters lurking.

at the same time.

In the crowd, Zhao Ge was fighting with an old man who was over 70 years old, with white hair and beard, and looked lifeless.

"Grandpa Liu, didn't you die prematurely five years ago due to loss of energy and blood? The Liu family even arranged your funeral, but we didn't expect that you would fake your death and still be alive in the world at over seventy years old." Zhao Ge roared at this moment and threw a punch. The fist force was condensed, and the essence of the Hanshan Fist was displayed to the fullest by him.

However, this Liu Taigong was in a very bad condition. His eyes were wide open and one of his arms had been blown to pieces, leaving only a little flesh and blood. At this moment, he could only hold up one hand and fight with Zhao Ge.

The two masters of Qi training are no longer in their peak condition.

Zhao Ge was still seriously injured and his spirit was damaged, so he could not exert much of his strength. Liu Taigong was old and weak, his blood was declining, and he had a broken arm. Despite this, the two men fought with ruthless and fierce moves, determined to kill each other.

"I faked my own death because I was afraid that the Liu family would encounter such a disaster after my death, so I secretly protected them. I didn't expect that the first person to attack me would be you, Zhao Ge. When you were young, you went around seeking masters and learning martial arts, and my Liu family even sponsored you. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and want to take away my Liu family's three-generation family business?"

Liu Taigong was very angry. He was also a martial artist who learned boxing. He threw a punch with a loud bang and full of killing intent. But unfortunately he was old and lacked strength, and was no longer as brave as he used to be.

"Your Liu family is worthy of mentioning the issue of funding? After I broke through the training acupoints and founded the Zhao's Martial Arts School, I helped your Liu family solve countless problems, both openly and secretly. Even after you faked your death, the Liu family was secretly taken care of by my Zhao's Martial Arts School. But what about your Liu family? When you saw that my Zhao's Martial Arts School was in trouble, in order to completely cut off contact, you killed my martial arts school disciples more diligently than anyone else. Now the flagpoles at your Caoyun Wharf are all hung with the heads of my Zhao's disciples."

"You, a heartless person from the Liu family, are worthy of showing mercy?"

Zhao Ge's roar at this moment was shocking, and it also exposed the ugly side of the Liu family.

"There is no point in saying more. Since you want my Liu family to perish, I will drag you into the coffin with me."

Liu Taigong suddenly let out a long howl and could no longer endure it. The blood in his heart burst out as if he had taken a tonic. His whole body was boiling with energy. His originally shriveled skin and flesh suddenly became full, and his lifeless body instantly regained its vitality.

The whole person seemed to be twenty years younger, and a surge of strength from his peak period quickly surged out.
