Chapter 656 Kuafu Chases the Sun

The half-grown boy covered his red left face with fear in his eyes.

"I'm dealing with you today because you didn't obey the rules."

He Zai pointed at the noses of the peers in front of him and said, "Since you have joined the Tongkou Gang, you must abide by the gang's rules."

"Clam, in the past when you were bullied and had no food, the gang would protect you, but now you refuse to do anything even if they ask you to do it? You still want to run away in the middle?"

He Zai lifted up the thin hemp rope around his neck, and there was a copper button hanging on the rope.

"This thing is not for fun."

"Now I'm here to tell you the rules. The next time you see him is the boss with the bronze hand. I hope you have thought about which hand or leg you are going to lose."

The boy opposite turned pale with fright: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore."

"Quit? I have the guts."

Hezi pretended not to hear clearly.

He grinned, showing a missing front tooth: "I'll take you to the boss. Are you ready for your ransom?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it! I'll bring the goods there, I'll bring the goods!"

Lazi trembled and said, "I won't want to run away anymore. I will definitely bring the gang's things with me."

"now it's right."

He Zai put his arm around the other person's shoulders: "Look, it's actually not difficult to ask you to bring the things you brought. It's just a little seed and some paper. You can put it in your underwear and clothes. It'll be fine."

"Those soldiers don't know how to investigate. Even if they are investigated, you just say you don't know what it is. Anyway, you really don't know, right?"

"The worst case scenario is that you will be jailed for a few days, and you will be released in a month at most. Your brothers will be waiting for you outside."

The boy nodded numbly.

"As long as you abide by the rules, we will still be good brothers. The gang will not let you stay here for the rest of your life. The last one left at the age of sixteen, so you still have two or three years to leave. The gang protects everyone. Son, it’s fair for everyone to work for the gang until they reach adulthood and leave the gang, right?”

Hezai smiled and patted him on the back: "Go back and wash your face and get ready. I'll go bring the goods tomorrow."

Watching Hazi leave in despair, Azheng next to him said, "Will he go there honestly? Won't he run away in the middle?"

"Let him."

He Zai shrugged, grabbed a piece of gum from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed: "It's his choice. If he succeeds in running away, then I wish him to run farther. If he is discovered, then his hand will be amputated." foot."

"Azheng, you and Lazi both joined the gang two months ago, so you are much smarter than him."

He Zai's cheeks twitched: "How about the goods you brought last time?"

"It went pretty well."

Ah Zheng is a young man with a quiet face, who looks about twelve or thirteen years old. Compared with He Zai, who has a wheat complexion and wears an adult leather vest, he looks more like a young man on the run.

This is indeed the case.

When He Zai saw Azheng for the first time, he was spearing a fish with a branch. The water there was very shallow, there was no grass and no fish, so he looked like a novice at first glance.

So He Zai first invited him to eat some fried melon seeds, and then asked him if he was out playing or if he got separated from others.

After asking, I found out that Ah was from the Anvil Federation of the Resurrection Kingdom, and his ancestors were immigrants from Yancheng. His father was bewitched by the devil. Not only did he donate all the family property to the devil, but he also bled Azheng as a sacrifice to the devil.

Ah Zheng beat his father until his head was covered with blood and then escaped. He didn't dare to go back and could only wander in the Kingdom of Secrets.

He Zai discovered that Azheng was born with supernatural powers and could easily lift large rocks and uproot small trees with his bare hands. He invited him to join the Tongkou Gang.

The Tongkou Gang is a very small gang in the Kingdom of Secrets, and they only do trivial things that are not worthy of publicity.

But no matter how small a gang is, it is like a mountain in front of the children.

The members of the Tongkou Gang are all half-grown children, because children are required to do things in the gang.

He Zai chewed gum and put his hands in his large pockets: "How about it? Carrying goods is easier than you think, right?"

"Um."

Azheng looked to the other side, where there was a road not far away that could lead to various city-states in the Kingdom of Secrets.

"Just carry it across the border. It's not difficult."

He Zai liked this about Ah Zheng. He would do whatever he was asked to do without looking forward or backward or asking questions.

"The goods brought by the gang are not serious contraband. They are usually various rose seeds from the Yao tribe and some fake bonds."

He Zai said: "Rose seeds are very common in the market. Whether they are mild green roses, white roses, sand roses or cloud roses, they are all available here. The goods I brought were mixed with killer black roses. This stuff is a controlled product, which is normal. It’s impossible to get through.”

"These seeds cannot be reproduced. If you want to get new Yao roses, you have to buy seeds. The gang just transports a cargo and makes a smuggling profit. Even if the child carrying the cargo is caught, the jail time will not be long."

He spit out the gum and stuck it to a piece of fallen bark.

"Then there are fake bonds. This is a superb craftsmanship. The paper used to make city bonds is very difficult to get. It is a hybrid of raw edge paper and tissue paper, and it has a special feel."

He leaned against a tree and said: "There is also the printing on the tissue paper. The printing technology of the Yao people now uses specific patterns and colors, and there are also serial numbers representing the issues issued in different cities. It is difficult to get very close. , blending printing and dyeing pigments is also a difficult problem.”

"I heard that Yaocheng has been gradually using crystal structure printing and dyeing, using sand elements to create coating patterns, and the element crystal structure can be identified at once. If it is really fully implemented, it will be even more difficult to imitate."

A Zheng frowned slightly: "Why do you tell me these secrets?"

"Because you look too eye-catching. After you carry goods once, the soldiers at the border will easily remember you. So the next time you carry goods will be at least a year later. When it comes to carrying goods, the more ordinary you look, the better. Hezi is the most suitable one."

The Copper Button Gang needs children in the gang to carry goods. Usually, street kids are not easily suspected, and the goods they carry are not much, so they are not easily noticed and inspected.

The gang members go there on the pretext of studying and finding work, meet people in the Resurrection Kingdom, and then bring the things there.

Hezi said: "You just recruit people with me in the rear, teach new people, and then wait to quit the gang and get severance pay."

"Must quit the gang?"

"Do you want to continue working in the Copper Button Gang?" Hezi sneered.

A Zheng asked: "Is there no way to become the leader? Or to get further promotion or something?"

"Hey, you want to be the boss."

Hezi took out a tomato from his pocket and took a big bite.

"The Copper Button Gang is like this. The leader of the Copper Hand originally followed a leader of the Red and White Society, but later he went out on his own and established the Copper Button Gang. Then, in fact, there is still a certain relationship with the Red and White Society, but in fact, we are closer to the [Black Ring Trading Company]."

Ah Zheng showed a surprised expression on his face: "The Black Ring Trading Company is in the Resurrection Kingdom, and the goods we originally got were from them..."

"Who knows? Don't think that the Black Ring Trading Company is just an ordinary chamber of commerce. It is one of the organizations split from the [Black Temple]."

Speaking of the gang forces in the Mystic Kingdom, Hezi knows them all: "At the beginning, the temple was sanctioned after the Investigation Bureau found problems. There was no choice but to split the organization into several parts. The original [Black Temple] focused on sacrifices, secrets, spells and folk customs, and the split [Black Ring Trading Company] and other groups specialized in secular affairs."

"But we have no subordinate relationship with these big gangs, more like a runner. This is safer, being a small person, so as not to encounter big troubles."

Ah Zheng was silent.

Hezi ate the tomato bite by bite and licked the juice on his fingers: "Let's go, I have to go see a big brother."

A Zheng's eyes lit up: "Big brother from other gangs? Can you introduce me to one?"

"No..."

Hezi showed a strange expression on his face: "Are you really so obsessed with gangs? The big brother I'm going to see this time is a serious person. He has been nearby these days and has taken good care of me in the past. It's not what you think."

...

In the tent group by the river, Hezi found an old friend.

"Hezi, I haven't seen you for a few years. How are you doing?"

Boyi came over steaming.

He had short hair and a towel wrapped around his neck. His uncovered upper body showed well-proportioned and flexible muscle lines. He looked like a tiger returning from hunting. His young male body contained explosive power.

"Brother Yi, you are stronger than before."

Hezi laughed and handed him a tomato.

Boyi took it and took a big bite.

Hezai remembered that when he first met Bo Yi, he was being punched and kicked by the gangsters of the Tongkou Gang. He just squatted on the ground with his hands on his head and took the beating skillfully.

For ordinary people who don't have any special abilities, it is basically difficult to resist a group of gangsters.

The reason is that ordinary people generally don't dare to attack with weapons such as knives and hammers that can cause death, while the gangsters are experienced in fighting and win in momentum. When they want to fight back desperately after being beaten badly, it's too late. At this time, they are usually knocked to the ground and have no power to fight back.

That scene at that time strengthened Hezai's determination to join the gang: If you can't beat them, join them!

He didn't want to be beaten like Bo Yi, but he felt that the other party was quite pitiful. So after everyone left, Hezai went over to help him up.

"It was intentional. I learned about the ascetic from theology, and learned and practiced through pain."

Bo Yi shook off the dust on his body and said nonchalantly: "I advised them to disband the gang, go to the temple and library to study the Gospel of God, and reform themselves, otherwise they would all go to jail. Then they went crazy..."

He Zai realized that this Brother Yi was not a soft persimmon.

He took the initiative to find trouble.

Soon Bo Yi was not satisfied with being beaten up by a group of people. The endurance of the ascetic would continue to increase. Ordinary pain was like chewing wax and could not make him make any progress. So he left the vicinity and embarked on another path.

He participated in the "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" event, which was an unlimited sun-chasing running practice organized by Dahuali.

He Zai also knew something about the sun-chasing running.

This activity was more like a fanatical sacrificial ritual, chasing the sun on the ground and recording the different directions of one's shadow, which sounded weird and absurd.

There were quite a few participants.

There were the Skeleton Ancestors of the Resurrection Kingdom, the Streetlight Society, and some locals of the Mystic Kingdom.

As time went on, a large number of runners fainted and were injured, and some even died.

Gradually, the news that Dahuali was actually the demon Kuafu spread like wildfire.

It was said that the purpose of this activity was to burn the life of every runner and transform it into the power of Kuafu through the ritual.

The reason why Bo Yi joined was simple, he needed a stronger pain to hone his practice.

Hezi felt that he would die in this weird run.

Because so far, the runners have either been injured and given up, or they cannot hold on for various reasons, and fewer and fewer people are following the devil Kuafu.

However, Boyi ran away for five years.

"You may not believe it."

Boyi swallowed the tomato in big gulps, with a hearty smile on his face: "This running practice we carry out can make every participant strong and energetic."

Hezi laughed and said, "Brother Yi, if that were true, we wouldn't have killed so many people before."

"A matter of method."

Boyi said seriously: "Long-term running against the sun is also very dangerous for extraordinary people."

"The light element will directly stimulate the whole body and easily burn the body, while the water element will escape in large quantities in a short period of time, making the runner extremely thirsty. Therefore, it is necessary to have enough water, and it is best to run in the morning and evening, at noon Take breaks and relax your body appropriately.”

"Warming up before running can prevent soreness, cramps, abdominal pain and other injuries. You should also stretch your body after running to keep your body flexible and reduce fatigue and wear and tear."

"Another one is not to blindly pursue speed, but to keep breathing and pay attention to the balance of your body's elements at all times."

"Also prepare appropriate clothes and shoes to reduce body exposure and pain, and keep warm in winter."

"These are the "Running Instructions" we have learned from our experience during running in the past few years. If you can do these things well, you will not be injured like before."

"The blessing and inspiration of God Yao have allowed me to find an endless path of spiritual practice!"

He Zai muttered in his heart.

Something is wrong.

Why does Brother Yi feel like he has changed from that ascetic to a crazy runner? Could it be that he was brainwashed and transformed by the devil Kuafu?

"Then, let me show you what I have achieved in the past few years. Try touching my upper body with your hands, and I will stay put."

Boyi stood quietly.

However, He Zai felt that he had become completely different, as if there was an indescribable power lingering around him.

He raised his hand and stretched out towards Boyi, but no matter how Hezi waved his arms, he couldn't touch the other person's body. As if Boyi could predict his own movements in advance, he moved his upper body calmly and simply, making Hezai always seem to be facing the air, unable to catch him no matter what.

What kind of spell is this? ?

Hezi was shocked.

The indescribable feeling in Boyi suddenly disappeared.

He raised his hand, spread his fingers, and slowly closed them: "The various forces exerted by the body are different forms of movement."

“Mastering and complying with the laws of exercise, and entering a state of [flow] in a short period of time, the people around me will all appear in slow motion, and I can pass them at will. This is the characteristic of the [athlete] profession. "

"I see through every move you make."
