Chapter 13 Do I still have a chance?

"Do you want to buy it? If not, leave."

In front of the secret book stall opposite, the owner is wrapped in a large robe. You can still see his strong body. Although his voice is low, his words are as powerful as gold and iron.

"I will definitely buy it." Chen Ku said seriously.

The man in broad robe said solemnly: "You can take a look first."

Chen Ku saw that there were more than a dozen books on the stall, but they were divided into two sections, one of which only had one book.

"Is this one different from the others?" Chen Ku asked, looking at the specially distinguished one.

"I have a total of thirteen low-level martial arts books in the training period. That one is the only intermediate martial arts book in the training period. It sells for fifty taels!" The man said solemnly.

Fifty taels!

Chen Ku took a breath of cold air.

Medium? Inferior?

Is this the difference between martial arts?

Chen Ku pointed carefully at the secret book worth fifty taels: "Can I read it?"

The other party nodded.

Chen Ku took a deep breath, gently reached out and took it over.

As a result, when I started, I saw a few words using the weak torch on the cave wall.

"Ten Sections of Brocade, Thousand Jin of Power"

this,

Chen Ku was shocked to find out that it was his own strength training method.

"Shi Duan Jin is a medium-level martial arts?"

etc.

Let’s see if it’s true or not.

The book in his hand is naturally genuine. If this one doesn't match, it means that this person is a liar.

Chen Ku gently opened the first few pages of this secret book.

After reading two or three pages, I was surprised.

"It's exactly the same, it's true."

I am preparing to continue reading the confirmations.

But suddenly, a big hand from the opponent forcefully snatched it away, and then a voice came:

“You can only see so much without spending money.”

Chen Ku was stunned.

Yo, this sounds familiar.

He lowered his voice and coughed a few times, then said, "Can you read some other books?"

"Can."

Chen Ku then looked through some other boxing secret books.

Likewise, if you have only read a few pages, you are not allowed to read any more.

He has basically determined that these secrets are 70% to 80% true.

So I picked up a copy and asked, "How can I sell this book?"

The book he was reading was called "Earth Fist", also called Dog Fist, which mainly focused on kick techniques.

Chen thought hard and thought that he already had a thin dog shape. Although this boxing was inelegant and the names of the moves he just saw were vulgar, he instinctively felt that it was the most suitable boxing method for him.

The man seemed surprised that Chen Ku chose such a boxing technique.

The Earth Technique Boxing is cruel, dark and hard to guard against.

No decent person would like this kind of boxing technique.

After a short silence.

The man spoke:

"The price is three taels."

A bit expensive.

Chen Ku gritted his teeth.

Finally, I chose to trade.

After all, he now has martial arts training methods, but what he lacks is the fighting skills, so he really wants to fight with others.

There are no moves, just explosive power and brute force. He is also in the realm of Wu Duan Jin. He must be the one who loses and dies.

This is equivalent to arming yourself with money.

Pay the money and take the secret book.

Chen Ku continued to circulate in the black market.

Then, we arrived in front of a Chinese patent medicine stall.

"What do you want to buy?" The stall owner was masked and wearing a hat.

Chen Ku asked: "What medicine do you have here?"

The stall owner replied: "There are tonics, poisons, aphrodisiacs, intoxicants, medicines for treating diseases and medicines for harming people."

Chen Ku looked at the other party in surprise.

True or false.

He pondered for a moment and said, "What are the medicines for replenishing the body?"

The stall owner took out a pack: "If you want to practice martial arts, there is enough 'Muscle Strengthening Powder' for a month. A pack costs ten taels."

Twelve!

Chen Ku gritted his teeth secretly.

I feel like I am a rich man, but everything here is so expensive.

He looked at the other person and then at the packet of medicine.

Something moved in my heart.

Asked: “Can I see if it’s true or false?”

The other party has no doubt about him.

People who practice martial arts often buy this kind of muscle-building powder, so they naturally know whether it is true or false.

After Chen Ku took it over.

He leaned forward and smelled it without changing his expression.

Immediately, the fine dog's sniffing power, which is dozens of times better than that of humans, smelled out the smell of all the medicinal materials in this prescription.

Ginseng, Poria cocos, chicken sanguinea, snake bone grass, polygonatum...

There are more than thirty medicinal herbs.

Chen Ku didn't know that this kind of body-replenishing prescription had always been a secret among major martial arts schools.

As a result, under his nose, the foundation is meticulous and every detail is exposed.

Chen Ku put down the medicine bag and apologized: "The medicine is good, but I'm sorry, I didn't bring enough money. I'll come back next time."

The man didn't mind either, that's just the way business is.

But Chen Ku had no intention of leaving. Instead, he asked softly: "Just now, you said you have all kinds of medicines, but do you have... mantra medicine? Or sweat medicine?"

Chen Ku originally thought that the stall owner would have some reaction, but the other party's tone did not change: "Yes, mandala medicine costs one tael of silver per pack, which can cure ten people, and sweat medicine costs ten taels of silver per pack, which can cost ten people. An elephant, as well as aphrodisiacs, a bag of fifteen taels of silver, any chaste and virtuous woman of yours can do..."

"Okay, just a pack of poison."

Chen Ku paid and bought a pack of poison.

I thought to myself:

"With this package of poison and the Ecstasy plant, how many crocodiles can be killed by the medicine?"

Finally, Chen Ku wandered around the black market again.

But I didn’t see anything needed anymore.

It is estimated that there will be more than two hours of dawn, and the black market will disperse by then. If you stay in a place like this, there will be more danger.

He walked out of the cave and prepared to leave.

As soon as he came out of the cave, he heard a lantern light up in the dark and said:

"Go into the house and put down the stall (set up a stall), leave the boss behind (pay the stall fee), and open the lantern (I will open the door and let you go)."

Chen Ku handed over his hand and left 500 Wen as the market fee.

Wait until you are completely out of the black market.

Chen Ku calculated the gains from the black market.

I made a total of twelve taels of silver, paid 700 taels of black market fees, and the remaining eleven taels went into my own pocket.

Compared with the imperial court's layers of exploitation and blood-sucking, now this is 99% of what I earn.

Chen Ku walked home in silence.

No wonder, people who are used to suffering will suffer for the rest of their lives.

But, just when I was still halfway home.

suddenly.

[A gangster, Xie Gou, followed the map owner halfway, caught a glimpse of the map owner’s whereabouts, and wanted to do harm to the owner, so he became evil...]

Chen Ku was shocked.

Someone is following me? !

Thanks dog!

This name sounds familiar, he belongs to Huang Ba! !

For a moment.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Ku's head.

He quickly looked around.

Although I didn’t see anyone with my naked eyes.

But he directly activated the fine dog state, and he could already smell a figure a hundred feet away from him, hiding far behind.

Chen Ku found someone.

Heaven and man are at war in my mind.

The worst outcome immediately occurred to him.

…

Xie Gou followed Chen Ku. When he saw Chen Ku looking back, he quickly hid behind a tree and murmured in a low voice:

"Did this kid find me? No, he has no ability. But I almost lost him."

Immediately he became excited.

"Boss Ba is indeed right. If you keep an eye on their house, you can spot trouble. This kid actually dares to go to the black market to evade taxes. Next, as long as Boss Ba reports him, hehe..."

In this way, Xie Gou followed Chen Ku all the way.

Followed for another hour.

Xie Gou was a little confused: "Although this is also the way back to Dachen Village, it is obviously a long way around. Why does it seem like we are at Crocodile Bay?"

He took a few steps quickly from behind, but unexpectedly, Chen Ku's figure suddenly disappeared in front of him.

"The person is missing! Where is the person!"

Just after Xie Gou discovered that Chen Ku was missing, he quickly looked for it.

But I couldn't find it anywhere.

Finally, he sneered: "No matter where he goes, I will tell Boss Ba about it now."

But I don't want to look back.

Chen Ku stood behind him with an expressionless face.

Xie Gou was frightened and screamed, but then he woke up and realized that Chen Ku had discovered that he was following him, but he was not afraid, but looked at Chen Ku's money bag greedily:

"Boy, you actually discovered me. Do you know the consequences of tax evasion as a retail investor? If I were you, I would hand over all the money you bought. I will give you a chance."

"Do I still have a chance?" Chen Ku asked expressionlessly.

Xie Gouzi chuckled, stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Of course there is a chance, as long as you put the money..."

Then I saw Chen Ku slowly walking forward, but instead of taking out his wallet, he...

With one step of his feet, he arrived in front of him, his faces facing each other, only three inches apart.

Then, the palm of his hand pushed towards him very quickly!

Xie Gouzi's head was buzzing.

His feet continued to fall towards the cliff behind.

Another moment!

call!

The huge feeling of weightlessness swallowed his back directly, and then he fell hard into Crocodile Bay.

"Ah! How dare you kill someone! Help, help...GuluGuluGulu..."

Chen Ku stood on the edge of the cliff and watched the figure who fell into Crocodile Bay disappear under the water. Then, he was grabbed by various parts of the crocodile and started a death roll... The water was full of blood.

A ghost emerged from below and disappeared into the transformation map.

He left the cliff silently.
