Chapter 38 Preparations for Leaving the City

"Qiu Da is gone. He must have gone to several other houses to ask for help."

Yue Yunjin walked into the courtyard quickly, 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 the other companies could not refuse either.

"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:

"Martial arts training is never about hard work, and fighting skills are 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 his wind-filled sleeves swept across the faces of the apprentices.

Li Yuan's eyes blurred, and the strong wind hurt his face. He subconsciously closed his eyes and stepped back. The other apprentices also screamed and stepped back, 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 instead of practicing martial arts?!"

Tang Tong scolded loudly.

The apprentices all admitted their mistakes, their faces flushed with shame, and they stopped talking.

"Wu Ming, take them to the warehouse to collect weapons. Yun Jin, please stay 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 gave a long bow:

"You were right not to let me follow my senior brothers to 'go out of the city and sweep the mountains' before. Although I am great at hammering, 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 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 we 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, and hammer soldiers. 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. A hammer with a hammer head as big as a fist weighs twenty kilograms. Most apprentices cannot dance at all.

"Weapon hammers are real weapons. With our hammering skills, even a bison can be killed with just one blow. If it were a human being, hum..."

In the warehouse, Wu Ming pointed to the weapon rack and motioned for a group of junior brothers 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 powerful.

The first one is naturally Qin Xiong.

The apprentices were obviously very familiar with each other and were minding their own business.

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 is a little weak, it's best to choose a lighter one. If it's too heavy, it's easy to 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 small, and the body 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 on the ground, sink with great force, break through horizontal lines to 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 you lose it, 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?"

Wang Hu, the warehouse guard, frowned:

"This hammer is powerful, but how many times can you swing it? It's so tiring to carry it on your back! I won't register it yet, you go and change it quickly..."

"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Hu, but I'm just following you and I don't need to do anything, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little lighter."

Li Yuan smiled, thanked Wang Hu, and prepared to leave the city tomorrow.

By the way, let Zhang Ben know.

Zhang Ben had no objection to his leaving the city, but just stuffed him a bottle of trauma medicine and told him to be careful on the road and run when he should.

"Nian Jiu..."

In the courtyard, Li Yuan asked Liu Qing to buy some things for him, while he stood with the hammer, familiarizing himself with the weapon he had just acquired.

Hammer soldiers use force to hurt people, and their momentum is heavy.

It is best at breaking armor. Even if an internal force warrior is hit by it, his tendons will be broken and his bones will bleed internally. It is a real big weapon.

It is better to be hit by a knife than a hammer, that's the reason.

"It feels very different from the forging hammer, but it is more suitable for the military fighting hammer?"

Li Yuan felt quite comfortable stroking the hammer.

Being familiar with all kinds of weapons, proficient in long weapons, and gifted in weapons, plus the blessing of the perfect hammer method, he got the hang of it quickly and soon immersed himself in it.

Fat Sun, who had lost a lot of weight, was twitching his eyelids and felt uneasy.

"Could this kid have grown up?"

...

...

No one talked all night. The next day, Li Yuan didn't get up early to practice. He packed his bag early, mainly with some dry food and copper coins.

"The price of pills has increased. A bottle of blood pill costs six taels of silver. One pill is almost the monthly salary of my second brother. He is really poor in literature and rich in martial arts."

Li Yuan felt a little painful holding the blood pill he just bought.

The silver earned from blacksmithing is not enough to spend. He hasn't gone out for a few months. His debt has reached a new high, a full fifty-three taels, plus one tael of gold.

Sun Pangzi's family assets were emptied by him, and he refused to lend any money.

"This time when I return to the city, I have to find a way to deal with those pearls. Well, I have to find a way to make money. Borrowing money to practice martial arts is not a long-term solution. Fatty has to start paying back..."

Li Yuan felt bitter in his heart, feeling like a college student with a loan in his previous life. He had to prepare to pay off his debts before graduation.

"Li Yuan, get ready to go!"

Outside the door, Wu Ming's voice sounded.

After tidying up his clothes, Li Yuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open:

"Here I come!"
