Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

Chapter 2: Shen Chong, the root of evil

Greentown.

As soon as Du Heng got the news, he rushed back. As for his studies, he was already a junior and had completed all the credits, so he couldn't enjoy himself yet.

Baguamen Station - Fuxi Mountain
In the circle of extraordinary people, his influence is at a middle-to-lower level, but among the people he is someone who dares to speak out loudly.

This is because the Bagua Sect is not very demanding in accepting disciples, so anyone can come and learn skills if they want, but it is hard to say whether they can learn real skills.

Like the local residents, they have never even heard of aliens, let alone know what they are. The reason they send their children here to learn skills is just to strengthen their bodies.

He just wanted to learn some kung fu, so he got started in this way. Later, he was noticed by Cheng Yuanzhen, the leader of Bagua Sect, who thought he had the potential to become an extraordinary person, so he was accepted as his disciple.

There are two types of extraordinary people: congenital and acquired. Needless to say, the congenital ones are purely a gift from God.

Acquired extraordinary people generally need to undergo rigorous training and be guided by a master before they can skillfully use the Qi in their bodies, and aptitude is particularly critical.

For example, Liu Dang in the Biyou Village chapter was originally a boxer obsessed with fighting. He came into contact with Qi refining by chance, but because he did not have the talent for Qi refining, he was isolated from the circle of extraordinary people. Finally, he relied on Lao Ma's furnace to become an extraordinary person.

As soon as we arrived at the mountain gate.

An elderly man came forward.

"Little junior brother!"

Du Heng hurried forward and saluted: "Senior Brother Cheng!"

After that, he couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on? Isn't the master in good health?"

"It's hard to explain it in a few words. You'll understand it when you go to the back mountain."

"Where is Senior Brother Yin?"

"I'm guarding the back mountain. Since the incident happened suddenly, my brother and I didn't tell the sect members about the sect leader's death. We plan to wait for you to come back and discuss it together."

"Yeah." Du Heng nodded and walked quickly towards the back mountain. When he met fellow disciples on the way, he just nodded in acknowledgement without saying much.

Inside the Bagua Gate.

The head of the sect, Cheng Yuanzhen, only accepted three disciples including him. The eldest brother was Yin Xi and the second brother was Cheng Bushi.

The rest were disciples accepted by Senior Brother Yin and Senior Brother Cheng, and there were less than ten of them.

There are hundreds of people learning skills outside the sect, which can be called a "big sect" among the people.

After a while, they arrived at the back mountain and came to the place where the head of the sect used to be in seclusion.

When Yin Xi saw the two of them appear, his tense expression finally relaxed and he said, "Junior brother, you're back."

"Where is my master?" Until this moment, Du Heng was still in a trance, and he couldn't believe that his master had died like this.

"Inside." Yin Xi sighed.

Du Heng walked straight in and saw a corpse lying on the bed. The body was skinny and covered with scars.

Seeing this, I realized that the master had fought with others before, and it seemed...

He immediately stepped forward, grasped his master's wrist, circulated the innate Qi in his dantian, and entered his body to investigate.

But the more he investigated, the deeper his frown became, and he thought to himself, "Strange. I can't feel any Qi at all. Although the innate Qi will automatically dissipate after a person dies, some will remain in the body after all.

For example, Zhang Huaiyi, whose grave was just dug up, had been dead for many years, but his remaining energy could still be extracted by Quan Xing, and it was so powerful that even Xia He, the bone scraper, almost couldn't control himself. "

Looking at the dried corpse in front of me, I always feel like it has been drained of its vital energy. Drained?

boom!
There was a thunderbolt in my mind!
He remembered that in the original plot, Shen Chong, the root of all evil among the four madmen of Quan Xing, controlled Hu Lin's son Hu Jie and signed a contract with him.

By killing a strange person, one can absorb the Qi of the murdered person and make oneself stronger and stronger. A certain percentage of the absorbed Qi needs to be given to Shen Chong as interest.

According to the timeline, Hu Jie killed three people during this period, a sorcerer and a disciple of Shenxiao Sect, so... the last person was his master?

"Shen Chong!" Du Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce light flashed across his eyes.

Even though I'm a time traveler, and because of schooling, I've met my master very rarely over the years, but he's still my teacher, and I still have some feelings for him.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Yin Xi and Cheng Bushi asked, "Junior brother, you are the strongest among the three of us, can you find out anything?"

"Master died in a fight with someone, and his Qi was sucked dry by the opponent."

Du Heng did not intend to reveal everything. With the strength of his two senior brothers, it would be difficult for them to face Shen Chong, let alone Hu Jie, otherwise the master would not have died.

Baguazhang, the unique martial art of Bagua school, is ultimately a form of fist and kick kung fu, and its upper limit is limited there.

The two were shocked and angry when they heard this, "Who on earth is this person who is so vicious?"

"We are a small sect, and our master is extremely cautious in what he does and never makes enemies with anyone. Who else could have such means except Quan Xing and his gang of beasts?" Yin Xi said angrily.

Cheng Bushi was also indignant, but he remained calm and understood that what he needed to do now was to deal with the aftermath.

"Now what?"

Du Heng took over the conversation and said, "Although the master is old and his strength has declined a lot, he is not someone that anyone can deal with. He was able to kill the master without alerting the two brothers. His strength is obviously not bad. In this case, we can only report it to the company and see what decision they make. It won't be too late for us to make plans later."

"Report to the company?" They both said in unison, surprised by the decision.

"This is the safest approach at the moment. First, we can use the company's power to find the murderer. Second, the death of the head of the Bagua Sect is such an important matter that the company must know about it."

The two thought for a while and felt that what Du Heng said made sense. "It has to be this way. Then who will report it?"

"I'll go, and you two brothers can just take care of the affairs within the sect. Don't tell the disciples about our master's death before I come back from the company."

"Thank you, Junior Brother." Cheng Bushi patted his shoulder and continued, "You came back overnight, go and have a rest first."

Du Heng glanced out the window and found that the sky was beginning to brighten. He said helplessly, "Forget it. I can't sleep for much longer."

The two were stunned for a moment, then they followed his gaze and realized the reason, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this point, the room fell silent. It was obvious that the head of the sect was dead, and the three of them were very depressed.

the company.

The secret organization responsible for managing extraordinary people exists on the surface as an express delivery company called Nadutong, but it is actually a state-owned enterprise. Especially the chairman of the company's air-splitting palm, which embodies the will of the people. Who can resist it?

All members of the company are aliens, divided into seven regions covering the whole country. They are responsible for maintaining the balance between aliens and normal society and ensuring that ordinary people do not notice the existence of aliens on a large scale.

Therefore, once a person or force appears that disrupts the balance, they must be eradicated regardless of whether they are good or evil.

The seven major regions are Northeast, North, Central, South, East, Northwest, and Southwest, which manage events occurring in their respective areas.

As the capital of Henan Province, Greentown is located in the Central Plains and is responsible for the management of the Luzhong Region.
