Martial World

"Brother Ming, you are domineering today!" Lin Xiaodong kept saying while walking on the road.

Lin Ming didn't say a word, and his words in the afternoon were naturally loud, but it was a very difficult thing to surpass Zhu Yan, and he had to make great efforts for this.

He has nothing to fear from hard work and hard work, but secret injuries cannot be solved by faith alone. They need medicinal materials, and each medicinal material is expensive.

Lin Xiaodong seemed to have guessed what Lin Ming was thinking, and he said, "Brother Ming, you just need to practice hard. I'll find a way to solve the money issue, don't worry, although my old man's strength is not very good in the family, he still has business skills. For two brushes, you can get several hundred taels of gold."

Lin Ming paused in his footsteps and turned his head to look at Lin Xiaodong. In life, there are many people who are the icing on the cake, but there are only a few people who give help in the snow. Between brothers, it seems hypocritical to say thank you, but Lin Ming still He stopped and said seriously, "Xiaodong, thank you."

"Okay, stop, I can't stand this, I don't have any big pursuits in my life, I'm taking the Seven Profound Martial House just to fight for my father's face, Brother Ming, I'm optimistic about you, you will become a master one day in the future. Just follow me, haha."

Lin Ming also smiled heartily, "Yeah! I'll take this brother at you. I will definitely go down the road of martial arts."

...

It was already night when Lin Ming returned to his residence. This was the house he rented. During the days when the Seven Profound Martial Palace had registered for the exam, the accommodation in Tianyun City was very tight. So many candidates will choose to rent a house, of course, this is not cheap.

Lin Ming rented a single room, only ten square meters. The layout of the room was very simple. Lin Ming got on the bed and was about to meditate and adjust his breath when someone knocked on the door.

Lin Ming opened the door and saw that the landlord came in, a middle-aged woman in her 40s and 50s. She was extremely bloated. Usually, this landlord's aunt always looked fierce and mean, but this time she However, the flattering smile on his face made Lin Ming feel a little unusual.

"Lady Landlord, is something wrong?"

"This... lad, I'm sorry, look, can you vacate this house."

"Huh?" Lin Ming frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I rented this house." A harsh male voice interjected. Lin Ming looked up, but saw a man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks walking from the hall, his face full of jokes. smile.

Lin Ming was stunned for a moment and then recognized this person. This was a servant who was following behind Zhu Yan and another young man during the day. It seemed to be the person of the unknown young man. At that time, the young man did not interrupt, but looked at Lin Ming and the other young man. Lin Xiaodong's eyes were full of contempt.

There is no doubt that this young man, in order to please Zhu Yan, sent his servants to disgust him. As long as he paid several times his own rent, this mercenary old lady of the landlord naturally wanted to drive him away.

Now is the day to sign up for the Seven Profound Martial Palace, the housing supply is tight, it is easier said than done to change the place, and even if it is changed, maybe this bastard will make trouble again.

Lin Ming's expression darkened, he looked coldly at the usually bitter and mean landlord's wife, and said, "I agreed to rent for five months, I also paid five months' rent in advance, there are still three months, you let me go?"

The landlord's wife smiled apologetically, "This... Of course I know, you see, I'll refund you the rent for the three months you haven't lived, how about it?"

"Ha! Take three months back, your abacus is really good!" Lin Ming was really angry. If the landlady was forced by power, then he would leave as well, but now she has a mercenary face. , causing a fire in Lin Ming's stomach.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I just said it verbally before, but I didn't make any written evidence. This house is mine. I love renting it to whoever!" Tianyun City, as the capital of Tianyun,

The landlords of Tianyuncheng subconsciously have a sense of superiority. They think that the people who come from the outer cities are all from the countryside, and no one looks down on them. Servant, with this guy's backing, the landlord's wife's waist is naturally very stiff.

At this time, the man with sharp ears and monkey cheeks also laughed arrogantly: "If you know the situation, get out, I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm watching you, Master, even if you can find the next home, Master will have the ability to drive you away. Come out, in the three months from the Wufu registration to the exam, you should wash your butt and sleep on the street, haha!"

The man smiled complacently.

The rich and powerful naturally form a sense of superiority, but their sense of superiority is mostly manifested in the form of temperament. Even if they lose their temper, they are like Zhu Yan. Although they are domineering, they also speak appropriately, and always maintain the demeanor of the superior. On the contrary, it is the servants of the powerful class. If you want to be arrogant, it is naked and arrogant.

Lin Ming looked at the monkey-like man, his eyes becoming colder.

"What are you looking at? If you want to beat someone, I'm not afraid to tell you that my young master is the second son of the commander of the Tianyun City guards. If you dare to beat the young master, the young master will let you..."

"Get out!" Lin Ming shouted loudly and punched out, hitting the bridge of the monkey man's nose. He heard a "bang". The man really flew upside down like a monkey. Following a series of ping-pong sounds, wooden furniture and pots were thrown out. The bowls and pans were smashed to the ground, and the man fell into the pile of debris, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered in blood.

One can imagine the result of the fist that can shatter Tiemu and land on the human face. The monkey man's nose collapsed directly.

The landlord's wife was stunned. She stared at the eyes of a dead pig, and after a few breaths, she let out a scream like a pig, "Help, kill!"

The landlord rushed out like a meat ball, but a pair of fat feet were not very flexible. They were mixed with messy debris and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lin Ming walked towards the monkey man step by step. He is currently in the first stage of physical training. Although it is only the beginning of martial arts, the first stage of physical training is not Chinese cabbage. Ming's talent itself is one in a hundred, plus his diligence, there is not a thousand peers of the same age who may not find one who is better than him in terms of strength. This monkey man is just a subordinate of the son of the army master. Lin Ming is like playing against him. of.

The man kept moaning. He never dreamed that Lin Ming would dare to hit him. He stretched out his blood-stained fingers and pointed at Lin Ming tremblingly, "You...you dare to hit me, you...you are finished."

"I don't know if I'm finished in the future, but now I know you're finished." Lin Ming kicked the man's lower abdomen. The man screamed and flew out like a monkey. This time, he directly smashed into pieces. He opened the wooden door and was kicked out of the house.

Without saying a word, Lin Ming went back to the room and packed his belongings at will, then strode away. The whole house was in a mess, and the landlady's heart was bleeding, she said boldly, "You...you can't go like this. Now, you...have to...have to pay."

Lin Ming paused, turned around and glanced at the old woman who was shrinking into a ball on the ground, "Pay?"

"Pay... pay..." The landlord's voice became less and less confident. She felt that the eyes of the young man in front of her were like an abyss, which made her shudder.

Without saying a word, Lin Ming suddenly punched the wall. With a muffled bang, a layer of soil was shaken from the beam of the house, and the brick wall was directly punched through by Lin Ming, the landlord. Madam screamed, her eyes rolled, and she fainted.

Lin Ming carried his luggage and walked out of the room, without even looking at the monkey man lying on the ground who had passed out.

He knew very well that if he beat this person today, the master behind him would not give up and would bring trouble to him, but Lin Ming had no regrets.

One must learn to be patient. If there is a martial arts master here today, and he is not an opponent, Lin Ming will choose to be patient. This loss must be taken. However, it is only a three-legged cat kung fu servant who is relying on the power behind him. Forbearance, then what is the use of martial arts?

This was not in line with Lin Ming's heart of martial arts.

Leaving this residential area with such strides, Lin Ming threw the package down and began to think about where to stay. He needed to find a place to stay. The hotel was almost full and the price was too expensive. Lin Xiaodong certainly couldn't see it, and wanted to take him to live in his own place.

If it passes, the son of the army master will definitely send someone again, and then Lin Xiaodong will no longer have to live there, and the two can sleep on the street together.

What's more, he just got into trouble. Maybe the son of the army master will send thugs directly. For these people, it's not unusual for them to be disabled. Lin Ming didn't want to implicate Lin Xiaodong.

So where can you live?

Lin Ming thought for a while, and finally thought of a place to live—one of the most luxurious restaurants in Tianyun City—Da Ming Xuan.

Damingxuan's consumption is extremely high, and the people who come and go are either rich or expensive, and its own background is also very large. With such strength, a son of a military leader can't move.

Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Ming to spend money on accommodation in Damingxuan. He came here for part-time work. Lin Ming's parents owned a restaurant. Lin Ming knew how to cook, and the taste was good, but he didn't think he could compare to the chefs in Heavenly Fortune City. , in fact, his specialty is not cooking...

...

When Lin Ming came to Damingxuan, Damingxuan was still brightly lit. It would be open until the early morning, and it was the best restaurant in Tianyun City.

Lin Ming's clothes were really ordinary. When he entered the store, the receptionist looked at Lin Ming a little bit differently, because this person who was dressed and carrying a package really didn't seem to be able to eat at Daming Xuan, and the key point was that the other party was also ten years old. About five years old.

However, the hospitality was quite good, so he walked over and asked, "Is this little brother accompanying his parents?"

Lin Ming shook his head and said, "I'm here to find a job."

This time, even if the hospitality is very good, he frowns, what can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child do? To serve a plate requires a beautiful woman of 18 or 19, and to entertain a tall and handsome guy in her twenties, as for the chef, can a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old be a chef?

"Let's go, don't mess around." The host waved his hand impatiently.

"I do know how to work, you can let me try it in the kitchen."

The receptionist asked angrily, "What can you do?"

Lin Ming smiled slightly and said, "Unlock the bones."

"What?" The receptionist was stunned.

...

Deboning is a very partial profession, and not every restaurant will be set up. This work is actually the dismemberment of slaughtered livestock or hunted prey into pieces of meat.

There is a saying in ancient times that a master-level knife operator can dismember a cow with ease, while a better knife operator can also dismember a cow but needs to change his knife every year. It takes a month to change a knife, and the efficiency is extremely low, a cow can toss for most of the day.

As for Damingxuan, most of the time, it is not a cow, but a vicious beast. Many vicious beasts are delicious, but the scales, skin, bones, and tendons are extremely tough. As for martial arts masters, it is often said that a gentleman is far from a cook, and masters will naturally not give up their identities to do this work. Even if they come, they do not understand the gaps in the texture of muscles and bones, and they have no power. They often mess up the meat. Exquisite cuisine.

When Lin Ming first came into contact with martial arts, he started with debonding. In his parents' restaurant, debonding was a practice he had to do every day, and he had been doing this for years.

This is a very tiring job, no easier than piling! Lin Ming never thought that he had any extraordinary talent in martial arts. All he could rely on was his own diligence. He practiced over and over again. The solid foundation of his martial arts was cultivated in this one knife at a time.

The receptionist really couldn't drive Lin Ming away, so he had to take him into the kitchen...

"Sister Lan, this little brother is going to apply to be a deboning hand."

"Deboning hands?" In the kitchen of Damingxuan, a beautiful woman about twenty-two or three years old in a gorgeous cheongsam looked at Lin Ming up and down, and saw the plain clothes of the other party and the appearance of a refugee in a big bag, a beautiful woman. Her smoky eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly to the waiter who brought Lin Ming in, "What are you doing, bring everyone into the kitchen, Dongzi, give him some silver and send him away."

This beautiful woman obviously regarded Lin Ming as a child in distress. As for the reprimanded host, her face was bitter. In fact, he originally wanted to push Lin Ming out, but found that Lin Ming's feet seemed to have taken root. , can't move at all.

"Okay." A young man who was deboning was about to come over and drive Lin Ming away, but at this moment, he felt his eyes dazzled and his hand lightened. taken away.

The young man named Dongzi still didn't understand what was going on. Lin Ming said, "I'm not here to beg. This lady, it's not too late to drive me away after seeing my skills."

The beautiful woman was slightly startled. This kid has really practiced before. She rolled her eyes at Dongzi and said, "It's really useless. If a child can't handle it, go to the library and lift a pig." After speaking, she turned to Lin Ming and said. : "If you can get it done in half an hour, I'll leave you in Damingxuan."

Dongzi knew that he was embarrassed and turned around to lift the pig. Lin Ming said, "No need, that's it."

Lin Ming said and pointed to a Jiaojin beast not far away.

The beautiful woman was taken aback. The Jiaojin beast is a second-level vicious beast. It has many tendons all over its body. These tendons are extremely tough and hard to hurt by swords. Mellow soup.

This kind of vicious beast is difficult to deal with even if a bone decipherer comes, this young man is really crazy.

"What a joke, this Jiaojin beast costs more than a hundred taels of gold, can you afford to pay for it?" Dongzi said angrily.

The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Dongzi and said angrily, "Can you ruin you?"

Dongzi's voice was stagnant, and he didn't speak for a while. Jiaojin beasts are not pigs, cattle and sheep. Ordinary people can't break the scales and armor with a knife. It is not something ordinary people can do to destroy this thing.

The woman turned to Lin Ming and said, "I'll let you cut!"

Lin Ming nodded, and picked out the best boning knife in the kitchen. He had only cut the Jiaojin beast twice, and both times were at the birthday parties of the powerful figures in the Lin family. After all, this kind of beast is not something that ordinary people can afford. of.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ming carefully stroked the scales of the Jiaojin beast, feeling where the protruding sinews were located. This process lasted for a stick of incense, and he formed a map of sinews in his mind. The sub-picture and Lin Ming's previous memory of Jiaojin and beast's tendons confirmed one by one.

And while waiting like this, some people became impatient, "What are you doing? Not yet?"

"Don't make a fool of yourself, let's get started."

No wonder these people were impatient. A fifteen-year-old boy came to do the bone dismantling hand, and the object of dismemberment was still a second-class beast. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a prank.

Lin Ming turned a deaf ear to these doubts. When he picked up the saber, his eyes became extremely focused, and breaking the bones was equivalent to his cultivation.

After verifying the muscle and network diagram, Lin Ming finally used the knife. He didn't use an axe or a machete, he just used a bone-evicting knife that was difficult to exert force.

And it was this ordinary dagger that became unusually sharp in Lin Ming's hands. When the blade fell, the scales of the Jiaojin beast were cut open by Lin Ming!

Seeing this scene, the people who were originally questioning immediately shut up. Just to do this, it required the strength on the wrist to be no less than 300 jin. Usually, the dismemberment of the Jiaojin beast is cut with an axe or a saw.

The blade feeds along the gap between the tendons, and the speed of the knife is extremely smooth, like cutting paper. Only by hearing the sound of swishing, the white tendons in the Jiaojin beast have been revealed.

Looking at Lin Ming's light-lifting appearance, the man named Dongzi rubbed his eyes vigorously, and he suspected that he was dazzled. This kid's cut is really a Jiaojin beast?

Lin Ming's movements were like running clouds and flowing water. Occasionally, he encountered a few animal tendons that could not be avoided. At this time, he would use brute force to cut them off. In this way, it took less than half an hour of effort. Ming cut the meat into pieces, and the pieces of white silk placed next to the meat were the most valuable animal tendons on the Jiaojin beast. These animal tendons were of the same length, and there was almost no loss.

This scene is really shocking. What Lin Ming has done seems easy, but people know how huge a project is to dismember a Jiaojin beast. Usually, it takes four or five big men to work together for a long time. However, his face was only slightly red, and it seemed that getting one or two ends would not be a problem!

In the evening, Damingxuan was not very busy anymore. Many people in the kitchen were watching. Everyone in the room was silent when they saw this scene. At this time, Lin Ming put down his knife and said, "Can I stay here now? I work every day. It can't be more than two hours, the salary is five taels of gold a month, and I have one more condition, I want to cover me with room and board."

The beautiful woman thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Ming's conditions were not low, but it was definitely worth it. With Lin Ming's speed, he could do a lot in two hours, and the loss of key ingredients was very important.

In this way, Lin Ming started work at Damingxuan. Two hours was not a waste of time, because this was also cultivation. The stumps were used to practice ruthlessness, while the debonding practice was skillful.

That night, Lin Ming had been in the warehouse and cut three first-level vicious beasts in one go. By this time, he was sweating profusely and his arms were numb. As he was about to cut the last one, he went to his residence. rest.

For the last one, he chose another second-level vicious beast, the golden-backed pangolin. The teeth of this vicious beast can crush stones and drill a mountain like tofu.

Because too much real energy was consumed, Lin Ming had to cut through the scales on the abdomen of the golden-backed pangolin.

After cutting the scales, it was much easier. The blade swam along the gap between the muscles and the belly of the golden-backed pangolin. At this moment, Lin Ming felt the knife slam, as if it had hit something hard.

bone? No, there should be no bones in the abdominal cavity.

So stone? That's not right. Although the golden-backed pangolin occasionally swallows stones, it has already been bitten into pieces. Even if it is not broken, it will be corroded by the strong stomach acid. There will not be such a big piece, so is it...

Naidan?

Thinking of this, Lin Ming felt a little excited. The inner core of a second-level vicious beast was very valuable. If he didn't sell it, it would also be good for his body.

Lin Ming put on gloves, carefully avoided the stomach acid, and took out the hard object. However, when he saw it, Lin Ming was greatly disappointed. It was a square object. Obviously, it could not be an inner alchemy. round.

It looks like it's really a stone, but this stone is a bit weird...

The gray cube, the edges and corners are a bit too much, as if it was cut by a knife, and the six sides of the cube stone are engraved with strange black inscriptions, with a mysterious atmosphere.

Metallic?

Lin Ming observed it carefully. It didn't look like metal, but it didn't look like a stone either. Maybe it was a kind of jade?
