LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 26 Leaving Jiangyuan
Lu Shi still lives in Jiangyuan City, but he has found a small courtyard by himself and moved out of the previous hotel.
His location is in the north of the city, and not far from Bafang Martial Arts Hall. Standing on the roof and looking out, you can see the scene of the street where Bafang Martial Arts Hall is located.
Recently, Lu Shi developed a habit of wandering around Jiangyuan City when he had nothing to do, tasting delicious food and inquiring about news, instead of just focusing on cultivation and turning a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window.
There is something wrong with the atmosphere in Jiangyuan City recently. Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but Lu Shi can sense the clues. There seems to be some action at the government level. There are more soldiers patrolling the streets than before.
Lu Shi was very vigilant. After practicing the "Shape-Shaping and Bone-Shrinking Technique", he deliberately changed his appearance.
The change is not too big, but the height is lowered and the muscle outline of the face is tightened. In this way, there is a direct difference from the original appearance. After putting on a new set of clothes on this basis, Lu Shi was now sure that even the most familiar people would be stunned for a long time when they saw him.
During this period, it was not like he did nothing except practice. In addition to leaving things in the empty room outside the city, Lu Shi also placed several opportunities in the city.
These few opportunities, he didn't put much in it. In addition to putting the remaining ordinary martial arts books into it, he also left a few swords bought in the city.
These swords were of good quality and could be considered high-quality products. Lu Shi originally wanted to try this type of chance feedback to see if it could produce a qualitative change like the martial arts secret manual, but it turned out that this approach did not work.
The result is that now, in Lu Shi's mind, there are nearly thirty phantoms of swords waiting for him to materialize.
In this way, Lu Shi has determined another mechanism of Ruyi Daoguo, that is, only knowledge-based things can be used for feedback, which will produce qualitative improvements. Other than that, other things will only produce quantitative increase.
Walking into the restaurant that he had been going to these days, the waiter stepped forward to serve him very discerningly. Lu Shi ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of wine and sat down here.
Hotels, teahouses, and restaurants are good places to collect information, and Lu Shi is not exempt from this. Most of his inquiries about the city's news come from here, and this time is no exception.
Lu Shi noticed that the atmosphere in the city had become strange, and it was also through the mouths of the diners in the restaurant that he could always hear some news that was unknown to the outside world.
Just like this, Lu Shi moved his ears and heard the conversation between two government officials sitting at a table not far away.
"There seems to be a big commotion in Fucheng recently. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. They want us handymen to be on duty every day. As a result, the income on hand has been reduced recently."
"No matter what, this kind of thing happens once or twice every year. Otherwise, how can we show the diligence of the superiors? The water here is not shallow. You and I just need to pay attention."
"That's true, but I heard that the higher-ups seem to be taking action against a martial arts gym. Is this true?"
"It's true."
"Which one is it?"
"Who else could it be? Apart from Bafang Martial Arts School, could there be any other one?"
"That's true. Among the seven martial arts schools, Bafang Martial Arts School seems to be the one that can handle it best. I heard that the master of Bafang Martial Arts School, Luo, looks like an immortal. I don't know who can do it in the end. Have a sip of soup."
"What are you thinking about? It's not your turn to have headaches. It must be the big shots who want to use it."
"Doesn't Master Luo have a niece?"
"Hehehe, the aunt and nephew are both beauties. Such beauties will naturally become the favorites of those big shots."
"Tsk, that's true. For government servants like us, it would be nice to receive some regular money."
"Stop talking about this and drink!"
When Lu Shi heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and considered it to himself calmly.
He was thinking a lot at this moment, and he had an inexplicable feeling that he wouldn't be able to stay in Jiangyuan City for much longer.
Combined with the atmosphere in the city he had experienced recently, Lu Shi had reason to suspect that he might have been targeted.
Thinking of this, Lu Shi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
This kind of secret information should be kept secret, but again, don't overestimate the dynasty's control over the grassroots. Perhaps in the eyes of these two government officials, although this kind of thing is rare, it is not a secret, and it is normal to use it as a conversation piece with wine.
Not long after, Lu Shi came out of the restaurant, seeming to be wandering around, but actually heading somewhere with a purpose.
Passing by the hotel where I had stayed, I saw some soldiers searching for something inside. The shopkeeper was standing at the door crying without tears. It was obvious that this time, the shopkeeper was going to lose money to eliminate the disaster.
Lu Shi just glanced at him casually, and then left.
If it was as he expected, his whereabouts had been exposed, but his current residence had not yet been found. But Lu Shi knew very well that this was just a matter of time.
Continuing to wander around, Lu Shi walked through several streets and entered a bookstore. He gave the shopkeeper a few pennies, took out a pen and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, and then Shi Shiran left.
Not long after, Lu Shi came to the street next to Bafang Martial Arts School. From here, he could see the backyard of Bafang Martial Arts School.
Lu Shi could clearly feel the difference in this street. Someone was watching in the dark, and the target of the surveillance was obviously the Bafang Martial Arts School. When Lu Shi passed by, he could feel the vague eyes sweeping over him.
After patrolling around without leaving a trace, Lu Shi discovered several people who were watching. Behind the second-floor window in front, the tea drinkers at the tea shop next to him, and the diners at the noodle stall across the street were all looking at each other. From time to time it falls on the main entrance of Bafang Martial Arts School.
When Lu Shi saw this, he passed by the main entrance of Bafang Martial Arts Hall with a normal expression. After walking out of the surveillance range of those people, he picked up a stone from the ground, wrapped the stone with the piece of paper, and tossed it casually. The paper traced a trajectory and fell into the middle courtyard of Bafang Martial Arts Hall.
After doing all this, Lu Shi went back to his residence without stopping and started to pack up.
Knowing that Jiangyuan City was going to become a dangerous place, Lu Shi would not put himself in it. Now that he was halfway through the 12th level, he was not far from being a first-class master. The first thing now was a stable environment that would allow him to successfully enter. First-class, then you will truly have the ability to save your life.
As for informing aunt Luo Yanqiu now, what he is doing is nothing more than showing kindness to others. Lu Shi has always been coveted by his family's "Hidden Qi Sword Technique". If this kind of real skill is used to feedback by chance, what kind of skill will be reflected back? Lu Shi Sometimes it’s a bit unimaginable.
"To the south of Dachang is Dashun, to the north is Dafeng, and to the southeast is Dayan. I heard that there are many countries outside it. In such a vast area, maybe even the innate master will not be the end!"
It is precisely because of knowing this that Lu Shi really wants to see a wider world, so no matter how you look at it, using a true skill to do chance feedback is worth trying.
Returning to his residence, Lu Shi destroyed the traces he left behind in his daily life and took only some silver coins and books. He was still dressed like a scholar traveling far away, and headed towards the east gate. He wanted to leave Jiangyuan City.
What Lu Shi didn't know was that less than half an hour after he left, a group of people came to his residence. Seeing the people leaving the empty courtyard, the leader's expression suddenly changed.
"No, that person has left. Go and inform the owner of the museum! Others, allocate manpower to search in the city, and find the person no matter what!"
