Cheng Ling quickly said goodbye and left Guilintang, but she did not expect that Tong and Ran would talk about her like this after she left.

Tong Mingbo said: "Brother Cheng is a man of big plans and talents. Is it inappropriate for us to ask him to do such a dangerous thing?" There was a hint of regret in his tone.

Ran Wenji seemed to have felt something. He was silent for a moment and said to Tong Mingbo: "With this person's temperament and the city's government, I think he must be sure of it before he will agree to us. Brother Tong, you are worrying too much."

Cheng Ling made an agreement with Ran Wenji and Tong Mingbo that at night, the scouts would come to Hanxia Martial Arts Hall with tokens to find her. At that time, she would leave Chixia City at night with the scouts from Ran's caravan.

There was still some free time in the meantime, and Cheng Ling decided to deal with some things.

First of all, he had to finish ordering the food boxes, and secondly, Cheng Ling also took out the book "The Art of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger" that he once obtained from King Linhai and studied it.

This "Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger Kung Fu" is as close as possible to the internal Kung Fu that Cheng Ling once imagined. The beginning of the chapter mentions the way of refining Qi, focusing first on refining essence.

By refining and transforming the Qi, so that the true Qi is generated within, the person will be able to become enlightened!

Those abilities that break open monuments and crack stones, fly over eaves and climb walls, and are beyond the limits of the human body often require the support of true energy.

From this point of view, Cheng Ling felt that the breathing method he had learned from Grandpa Mu was probably the most basic internal skill and mental method.

It can help Cheng Ling move her qi, allowing her to clearly control the energy in her body. Even though this technique is very simple, it is actually very practical.

On the contrary, although King Linhai's technique of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger is very clever and much more powerful, its drawbacks are also obvious.

In the technique of subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, the first thing the practitioner has to subjugate is not someone else, but it turns out to be the dragon and tiger in his own heart!

After reading this technique in detail, Cheng Ling finally understood that the madness and cruelty of King Linhai was inseparable from this technique.

This skill is extremely yang and strong. Once the practitioner has enough energy and a lifetime of true energy, it is very easy for him to have all kinds of crazy and terrifying delusions.

If Linhai King himself is a violent person, and if he is surrounded by dragons and tigers and has delusional thoughts during his cultivation, it is not surprising that he will go further and further in the future.

Of course, Cheng Ling didn't think Linhai King was innocent either.

Martial arts is a sharp weapon, but controlling this sharp weapon is still the human heart itself. If you can't control it, it means your will is not firm and your heart itself is dark. It can never be the knife in your hand that harms you.

Why should Cheng Ling help Linhai King to exonerate him?

However, King Linhai's lessons made Cheng Ling extra vigilant when studying "The Art of Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger". She memorized the contents of the book, but did not choose to practice this art right away.

It was not easy to practice, so she decided to be more cautious and understand it thoroughly first, and then find ways to learn from the strengths and weaknesses of this technique.

This was preparation on the one hand, and on the other hand, Cheng Ling let the martial arts disciples go home when it was just getting dark, and then asked Mu Sanniang, Cheng Dani, Cheng Erni and others to stay at Shi Hong's house temporarily.

As a result, Cheng's house became an empty house.

This was just in case. Cheng Ling did this not because he had foreseen anything, but simply out of habit, fearing that if he went out, his home would be robbed.

Xiao Man's injury improved somewhat, but the toxins in his body could not be eradicated. He was always sick and lacked energy.

When Cheng Ling asked him to move together, Xiao Man asked her in a low voice: "What are you going to do at night?"

"Go and make a good deal." Cheng Ling said, "Brother Xiao, I will leave my family to you."

Xiao Man was suddenly stunned by this entrustment, and an indescribable feeling suddenly enveloped him.

Xiao Man said in a slightly astringent voice: "Do you believe me?"

He had been doubted too much in the first half of his life, but this was the first time someone had entrusted him with something so solemnly.

Cheng Lingdao: "Not only do I trust you, I also know that even if I don't ask you for anything, you will definitely help me protect my family when I'm not around."

why?

Because Xiao Man is as proud as her.

How can a proud person not repay double the benefits he receives from others?

Cheng Ling handed another baggage to Xiao Man, and Xiao Man took it without knowing why. Cheng Ling said softly: "It's for you. You can go back to the room and put on the things inside, and then go with my mother and the others."

Go to Shi’s house.”

When Xiao Man heard the word "put on", he thought Cheng Ling was giving him clothes, and was startled again at that time.

In fact, the thing Cheng Ling sent should indeed be a piece of "clothes" in a sense.

After Cheng Ling gave all instructions, she quietly left Cheng's house.

Although Mu Sanniang was reluctant to give up, there was nothing she could do to stop her.

After Cheng Ling left, Xiao Man went back to his room to untie the baggage given by Cheng Ling.

The baggage was opened, and what was revealed was a small golden ball.

Xiao Man immediately stretched out his hand to pull the small ball and shook it. Then he saw the small golden ball unfolded, but it turned out to be a piece of soft armor made of specially treated gold thread, which was extremely thin, soft and light!

Xiao Man blurted out at that time: "Gold silk soft armor!"

This is a legendary protective treasure that is said to be invulnerable. What Cheng Ling gave him was not an ordinary piece of clothing, but a piece of soft gold silk armor!

Xiao Manrao was used to seeing all kinds of treasures, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly at this moment: "Cheng Ling, Cheng Ling, you... you are too cruel."

Was this forcing him to risk his life to protect her family?

Finally, Xiao Man silently took off his outer clothes, put on the soft gold silk armor, and said to himself: "That's it, you know... I don't really want to live."

Even if you don’t want to live anymore, wouldn’t it be interesting to meet such a person at the end of your life?

On the other side, Cheng Ling and the scouts from Ran's caravan met at the back door of Cheng's house.

After the two exchanged tokens, neither of them said much and walked straight to the east city gate.

At this time, it was already dark, but there were not many people lighting lamps in Dongcheng District. The two of them walked out together in silence under the dim sky.

When we walked to the east city gate, the guards at the city gate were taking over their shifts.

During this shift, there were inevitably some omissions in the defense. At this moment, there were only two people guarding the east wicket.

Ran's scout held something in his hand and silently walked up to the two city gate guards, handed the thing to them and waved it.

The two guards quietly turned their faces away - what does this mean?

This is an expression: I didn’t see anything, you should leave quickly!

Such a meaning.

The scout walked forward quietly and quickly, and Cheng Ling followed silently. Within a moment, the two of them left the city together in the night.
Chapter completed!
