Beginning from the world of Uncle Jiu, he tricked his master into enlightening him.

240 Layout of the world
Uncle Jiu temporarily retreated in the thatched cottage, while Lin Cheng returned to Jinhua County, running the escort agency and practicing at the same time.

The reason why he wants to run the escort agency is not because Lin Cheng is greedy for pleasure, but because Zhuo Shuying's mission includes making Xiao Zhuo the king of demons.

If you want to achieve this step, you will inevitably have to manage a huge force.

Before finding the female ghost Xiaozhuo, all Lin Cheng could do was to run his power first.

In order to avoid having to start everything from scratch when finding Xiao Zhuo, that would be a waste of time.

The subsequent development of the escort agency was basically consistent with Lin Cheng's expectations.

Although the businessmen in Jinhua County did not trust Jiu Shu Escort Agency at the beginning, due to reality, the benefits of hiring Jiu Shu Escort Agency were clearly presented to them.

Businessmen are all driven by profit. For the sake of profit, some people finally take risks and hire Jiu Shu Escort Agency to escort them.

Then the businessman discovered that the efficiency and safety of Jiu Shu Escort Agency were much better than those of other escort agencies.

Not to mention that in Jinhua County, Jiu Shu Escort Agency can travel unimpeded. Even if they go to other areas, people from the major cottages will have to give them some convenience when they know that they are from the original Heifeng Village.

Moreover, because they were originally engaged in the bandit industry, they have first-hand information about many of their peers.

For example, what are the preferences of bandits in which area, who is really in charge, and even the commonly used robbery routes, etc.

Based on these, the people from Jiu Shu Escort Bureau can completely find out the best travel time and route. Not only is it more efficient, it is also safer.

So the first escort trip was miraculously completed successfully without encountering any bandits.

The businessman was very satisfied with the service of Jiu Shu Escort Bureau and signed a long-term cooperation contract with Jiu Shu Escort Bureau on the spot.

After the first one, there was a second one, and then there was a third one. The business of Jiu Shu Escort Bureau got bigger and bigger, but in just one year, it was no longer limited to Jinhua County, but also expanded to surrounding counties.

Facing the more powerful copycats in other areas, Lin Cheng's strategy is to absorb them if they can, cooperate if they can't, and avoid contact as much as possible if they can't, so as not to provoke them.

If the conflict is unavoidable, then I'm sorry, Lin Cheng is not a vegetarian with his martial arts, and ordinary copycats cannot compete with Lin Cheng.

In this way, with strong force and correct strategic guidance, the business of Jiu Shu Escort Bureau is getting bigger and bigger, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger.

Ten years later, it has grown into a behemoth that even the court has to pay attention to.

The number of escorts under his command has reached 10, which is equivalent to the number of people in Shuibo Liangshan.

It is jokingly called the second largest gathering place for bandits after Shuibo Liangshan.

In fact, many knowledgeable people have already seen the potential threat of Jiu Shu Escort Agency.

Some people even suggested that if there were no restrictions, the Jiu Shu Escort Agency would become a serious problem for the imperial court, and they suggested that Song Huizong send troops to encircle and suppress it.

However, Song Huizong, who was addicted to pleasure, did not want to be troublesome at all. His Jiu Shu Escort had always performed well. While paying taxes in accordance with the law, he often gave him some magical stones.

Why should we beat such a respectful and good citizen? He should be given strong support!
The few powerful traitors in the court who really had the right to speak in the court were opposed to sending troops to encircle and suppress them because of their deeply entangled interests with the Jiu Shu Escort Agency.

The Jiu Shu Escort Bureau got through the initial dangerous period. When the people in the court really reacted, it was too late.

Of course, these are all things for later. At least the current Jiu Shu Escort Bureau has never shown its disobedience.

Jinhua County, in Hongwu Pavilion.

Hongwu Pavilion is a martial arts university town built by Lin Cheng with great efforts.

Every escort above the captain level needs to come to Hongwu Pavilion for at least half a year to study before they can serve in various places.

Here, the escorts will be taught various martial arts skills, as well as some advanced ideas, which is commonly known as brainwashing education.

At this time, two figures were crisscrossing each other in a martial arts field in Hongwu Pavilion.

A closer look revealed that it was Lin Cheng, the leader of the Jiu Shu Gang, and the soul figure, Jiu Shu.

Uncle Jiu and Lin Cheng passed by each other, and both sides took action quickly. Lin Cheng held a lightsaber and slashed at Uncle Jiu with such force that the light of the sword instantly cut through the air, causing a roaring sound.Uncle Jiu waved his hand and drew a white rune out of thin air, floating softly in the air.

The showdown between the two is dizzying.

Lin Cheng held a long sword in his hand, and the sword was as powerful as a waterfall breaking through rocks. With his body as light as a swallow, he easily avoided a fire dragon, and from time to time he slashed with fierce sword energy, as if he wanted to tear the sky apart.

Uncle Jiu, on the other hand, relied on the runes in his hands to be unpredictable. Every time he made a move, he could easily avoid Lin Cheng's sword energy, so that Lin Cheng did not dare to be careless.

The figures of both sides sometimes intertwined in the air, and sometimes they huddled together and writhed on the ground, showing an overwhelming momentum.

During the battle, they all performed to the limit, no one backed down, no one showed weakness.

hum!
A crisp sword cry sounded, and Lin Cheng seemed to transform into a wisp of sword energy, suddenly hovering around Uncle Jiu and stabbing his opponent's neck diagonally.

Uncle Jiu stopped dodging, condensed a ball of orange runes in the palm of his hand, and faced the sword energy directly!boom!A loud noise resounded throughout Jinhua County, and wild beasts several miles away fled in fear.

When the smoke dissipated, Lin Cheng took a few steps back, a look of wonder appearing on his face.

Uncle Jiu also panted slightly, and the runes in his hands had turned into dark powder and scattered in the wind.

"Master, I didn't expect your rune skills to improve so quickly."

"Perhaps in another 20 years, you will be able to turn the runes from virtual to real, and reach the point where you can do whatever you want and achieve perfection."

Lin Cheng said with some admiration.

The runes are as condensed as the essence, and the runes follow the heartbeat. These are the signs of transcendence.

The runes drawn by Uncle Jiu were already halfway between half virtual and half real, and could be regarded as a half-step to perfection.

In addition, after ten years of hard work, Uncle Jiu has been able to integrate the power of the Martial Saint with the power of the Heavenly Master.

Even Lin Cheng has to treat Uncle Nine now with caution.

If you are not careful, you may even risk failure.

Uncle Jiu panted and shook his head. It took a while before he finally regained his breath.

In the previous confrontation, it seemed that he had the upper hand. After all, Lin Cheng retreated, but he did not.

But Uncle Jiu knew that this was just Lin Cheng trying to save face for him in front of others.

In that blow just now, he poured out almost all his power and gained a slight upper hand.

But Lin Cheng hadn't even used half of his strength yet.

Once the skill reaches the level of perfection, it will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Uncle Jiu hadn't crossed that threshold yet, but Lin Cheng had already passed it.

"Over the years, your cultivation progress has indeed fallen behind."

After Uncle Jiu calmed down, he frowned and came to Lin Cheng to teach him a lesson.

Ten years have passed, and Lin Cheng is still only at the ninth level of Earth Master, and has not even crossed the threshold of Heavenly Master. This is very unreasonable.

Uncle Jiu remembered that in the second year after coming to this world, Lin Cheng reached the ninth level of the Earth Master. There was no reason why he couldn't break through that hurdle in 8 years.

When he was promoted from the ninth level of Earth Master to Heavenly Master, he didn't even have a year.

There is no reason for Lin Cheng to be weaker than him.
