Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 115 Chief Arrestor Jin Ling
"I still have to go back to Wangjiang. Whether I want to take revenge or not is another matter. The main thing is the Lushan Turtle Meat Farm."

Because the Lushan turtle meat field is too big, Chen Cheng really has no way to bring it to Wenting.

He also has no way to bring it now, but after controlling the Yin Mansion, he has the ability to create flesh and blood life, even demons and ghosts.

In Wenting, no one wants to show their meat fields to outsiders, so if Chen Cheng wants to get big meat, he can only buy ready-made meat, or create a meat field himself.

With his current strength, practicing martial arts every day requires a large amount of energy supply. If he replaces it with ordinary food, eating three cows a day is a normal appetite.

But with so much food, no matter how fast he ate, he would still feel soreness in his cheeks.

Lushan turtle meat can still support his appetite, and forty pounds a day can provide him with what he needs for a day of martial arts training.

This amount is easily acceptable to Chen Cheng, and three normal meals are enough.

Chen Cheng was thinking about when to go back to Wangjiang City. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The concierge's voice just sounded, and then it stopped suddenly, and a set of footsteps came straight to the inner courtyard.

Chen Cheng frowned and stood up.

As they approached, they saw a group of powerful men in black uniforms walking in with their hands on the hilts of knives at their waists.

The concierge was a little old man with a mustache. After watching this group of people break in, he faced Chen Cheng and said with a panicked expression:

"Master, these people are from the government office, and the servants dare not stop them."

"Are you Chen Cheng from Wangjiang?"

The group of people was led by a burly man in his 30s with a tight-fitting uniform. The weapon in his hand was different from the others, it was a large gun with a tiger head.

"That's right, I wonder what you want from me?"

Seeing that Chen Cheng had no fear on his face when facing him and others, the big man looked him up and down, and smiled when he saw the man who was a little stronger than himself.

"I am the chief arrester of the government office, Jin Ling. You can call me Lu Ya."

"It turns out to be Lu Baotou, whom I have admired for a long time."

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

After arriving at Wenting, for the first time here, I was worried that I might accidentally provoke some forces, or that it would disturb my ordinary life.

So he asked about Wen Ting's power situation.

Unlike Wangjiang, although Wenting also has various martial arts schools, it cannot be divided into one party like in Wangjiang.

I can only open a gym to teach boxing and do some other businesses.

Here, the biggest force is the government office, followed by various aristocratic families.In addition, there is also a transcendent Prince Hui's Mansion.

There are twelve Jinling Chiefs in the government office, each of whom has a strength of seven blood or above. In terms of combat power alone, there are even nine blood masters who died in their hands.

Below the gold order, there are 36 silver order arresters, all warriors with blood four or above. As for the lowest level bronze order arresters, there are even more.

Golden Spear Hu Luya is one of the twelve chief arresters of the Golden Order.

Lu Ya said after looking at it
"Three months ago, Wangjiang City was shrouded in heavy fog, and then maggots caused trouble and massacred the entire city."

"After receiving the news, the prefect was extremely furious and immediately sent people there. However, including the three Silver Order arresters, several waves of people went in and never came out again."

"We found some people who later escaped from Wangjiang. They said they followed your gravel fist and escaped from the tunnel."

Speaking of this, Lu Ya's voice stopped.

Chen Cheng's eyes flashed, and the people who came out behind him dispersed after escaping.Unexpectedly, they still found it. It seems that although the government's control is gradually weakening, it can't be underestimated if it really takes action.

"What I want to ask is, how did you know about the Maggot Man and dig the tunnel in advance?"

After saying that, Lu Ya stared at Chen Cheng's face, not letting go of any change in his expression.

"Is this a problem? I am cautious by nature and always worry about force majeure, so I prepared several tunnels very early."

"Those tunnels were dug months before the fog and maggot men came."

Lu Ya didn't see any flaws in Chen Cheng's various subtle expressions. Hearing Chen Cheng's explanation, he nodded slightly, relaxed a little, and smiled.

"I'm not here to plead guilty today. Don't be nervous. It's just that three months have passed since the maggots took over Wangjiang City, and it still hasn't been resolved. The prefect has conveyed a lot of pressure."

"It has been decided from above that Chief Jin Ling will be sent there, and I am that candidate."

"So, after I heard that you once led a group of people to escape from Wangjiang City that was blocked by thick fog, I came to take a look."

"I think since you can lead people to escape from Wangjiang, you should have some knowledge of the situation in Wangjiang City, right?"

After hearing Lu Ya's explanation, the expression on Chen Cheng's face relaxed a little, and the atmosphere in the yard suddenly relaxed.

"I see."

Chen Cheng invited Lu Ya to sit down. The two sat at the stone table, served a pot of good tea, and talked about what happened in Wangjiang City.

When he heard that maggots were a type of demon that could devour ordinary people and quickly split them apart, Lu Ya frowned and said slowly and in a heavy tone.

"The total registered permanent population of Wangjiang City is 83. If it is as you said, Wangjiang City is probably full of maggots at this time."

Thinking of this number, Lu Ya couldn't help but have a headache.

According to the characteristics of maggots and monsters, even if a single maggot is easy to kill, one will split into another after its companion eats the corpse. Judging from the number of maggots, this Wangjiang is simply a sea of ​​maggots. No matter how many golden maggots are removed, Order the chief to arrest everyone who will die after entering.

"If Wangjiang is really so dangerous, then how did you lead so many people to escape?" Behind Lu Ya, a young man with a silver token hanging on his waist and silver embroidery on his sleeves and other places suddenly asked .

Chen Cheng looked over and his face turned cold.

"If you don't believe it, you can just go to Wangjiang City and have a look around. Why do you need to ask me?"

"you!"

Yin Ling, the head catcher, was furious and was about to draw his sword, but Lu Ya raised his hand to stop him.

Lu Ya looked at Yin Ling Captou, his face became solemn, and he yelled angrily

"Shut up if you can't speak!"

Then he looked at Chen Cheng, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said apologetically

"I'm really sorry that I was lax in my duties. I hope Brother Chen won't take it to heart."

"But if there is a way to avoid the maggots, I hope Brother Chen can tell it without hesitation. If Lu Ya can come back alive in the future, he will be rewarded generously!"

Seeing Lu Ya's sincere look, Chen Cheng pondered for a moment.

Lu Ya, the Golden Spear Tiger, was born in a middle-class family in Wenting. The Lu family still has a lot of power in Wenting. If he can make friends with Lu Ya, he can reduce some unnecessary troubles in the future.

Thoughts flashed through Chen Cheng's mind, and his face showed some confusion. Finally, he looked at Lu Ya's sincere face and gritted his teeth.
"Alas! Since Mr. Lu is begging like this, Chen Cheng won't hide it anymore."

Lu Ya was overjoyed when he heard this, and everyone behind him, including the Silver Order Catcher, also pricked up their ears.

As Lu Ya's subordinates, they would follow Wangjiang if nothing else happened. If the situation in Wangjiang City was really as Chen Cheng said, what he said next might be the only hope for survival.

"In the foggy maggot mountain in Wangjiang City, you can't see anything under the thick fog. The reason why I was able to escape from Wangjiang City was all because of a family heirloom."

Lu Ya perked up and asked quickly.

"What treasure?"

"A lantern!"

"lantern?"

Lu Ya and the people behind him were stunned.

Then, Lu Ya suddenly thought of something. Those who followed Chen Cheng and escaped from Wangjiang did mention the lantern.

After Chen Cheng said this, he suddenly became enlightened.

Chen Cheng nodded.
"Yes, it's a lantern. When this lantern is lit, it can form a golden field with a radius of three feet. Within this field, demons and ghosts are difficult to invade."

"The reason why I was able to successfully escape to Wangjiang from the drought that was frequented by demons and ghosts was because of the protection of this lantern."

When Lu Ya heard about the human skin lantern, he was happy, and then his expression became more sincere. He grabbed one of Chen Cheng's hands with both hands and begged.
"Brother Chen, please save my life!"

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and asked Fang Lin who was staying aside to get the human skin lantern placed in the study. Soon, when footsteps sounded, Lu Ya and all the head catchers turned their attention.

When he saw Fang Lin coming back, he completely ignored Fang Lin's charming figure and placed it on the golden lantern held by a copper pole in his hand.

Chen Cheng took the lantern and placed it on the stone table between him and Lu Ya.

"Look, this is the lantern."

Lu Ya looked at Chen Cheng, and after receiving permission, he started to take action. When he touched the lantern, he paused.

With his knowledge, he could naturally tell that the lantern was made of human skin.

But then, he didn't care at all. It was just a human skin lantern, not a rare thing. He had seen more evil things in the Lu family.

Then he continued to check.

After the human skin lantern was lit, Lu Ya looked at the surrounding space shrouded in golden phantoms. He placed the human skin lantern on the stone table and easily went to the edge of the golden field to test it a few times. He found that it was indeed as Chen Cheng said. Looking at the human skin lantern on the table, his eyes flashed with fanaticism.

Sitting back at the stone table, Lu Ya drank up the bowl of tea, placed the tea cup on the table, and said seriously to Chen Cheng.

"I know this is Brother Chen's family heirloom, so I am shameless and hope Brother Chen can lend me this treasure."

"If Lu Ya can come back from Wangjiang, he will be richly rewarded. If he can't come back..."

Lu Ya paused for a long time before he sighed.

"That's God's will."

"When the time comes I have lost Brother Chen's family heirloom. Brother Chen can go to the Lu family. I will leave instructions before leaving and ask the Lu family to make full compensation."

Chen Cheng has also heard about the reputation of Golden Spear Tiger Luya. The other party's reputation is indeed good, otherwise he would not have the intention to make friends with him.

Hearing this, he picked up the human skin lantern and handed it to the other party's hand, with a serious expression on his face.
"I also hope Master Lu can return safely."

“Borrow Brother Chen’s good words!”

At the door of Chen's house, Chen Cheng put his hands behind his back and watched Lu Ya leave with a group of people holding a human skin lantern in his hand.

They waited until their backs disappeared around the corner before turning back.
