The invasion of the abyss begins with the Laughing at the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 19 A General

"The third leader of Huya Mountain, he fought all over the Liaonan martial arts world with his pair of iron fists. He is cruel and bloodthirsty, and likes to disembowel people. His behavior is extremely bloody, so he is called 'The Ripper'."

"Yesterday, the third in command, 'The Ripper', and more than 40 bandits from Tiger Tooth Mountain were killed by a mysterious person like chopping melons and vegetables. Yizhang Gorge was littered with broken limbs and arms."

"How did you escape this disaster? Did someone help you? Or did you not meet anyone? Or?"

Thinking of the news he had heard last night, the "skinny monkey" Chen Chongwen looked up and down at the gentle Shen Yuanliang, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar, like a completely different person compared to before.

"That eighth-rank expert is the third-in-command of Tiger Tooth Mountain, 'The Ripper'? No wonder he's so difficult to deal with!"

After wiping his mouth, Shen Yuanliang touched his chin, frowned, and murmured thoughtfully.

"Did you kill the person?"

Hearing what Shen Yuanliang said, "skinny monkey" Chen Chongwen stood up suddenly with a look of surprise on his face. He found it hard to believe this fact.

You know, Shouhou and Shen Yuanliang grew up together and are very familiar with each other. He knew very well that Shen Yuanliang had not broken through the ninth level of martial arts before he fell into a coma.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Yuanliang recovered from his illness, not only did he kill the white-browed tiger, but he also became the mysterious man who slaughtered the third in command and other bandits. The contrast was too great.

"It was just a chance encounter."

Shen Yuanliang did not deny this matter. He said that the friend who grew up together wearing open-crotch pants is still trustworthy.

"An eighth-rank master, Liang Ge'er."

"So, your current strength is at least at the eighth level?"

Taking off the melon-shaped hat on his head, "Skinny Monkey" Chen Chongwen walked back and forth on the street corner. After his excited mood gradually calmed down, he confirmed again.

Although Skinny Monkey has awakened his natural abilities due to the vitality of heaven and earth and is a master at gathering intelligence, he is still essentially an ordinary person without any military power.

Therefore, "skinny monkey" Chen Chongwen hangs out in the market all day long, but never dares to show his special abilities in front of others. Until now, he is still an idle and despised "thug".

"I can barely fight against a seventh-rank master."

Now that the matter was out, Shen Yuanliang no longer concealed anything and his expression became very calm.

After integrating the power of the tiger, Shen Yuanliang's strength increased by 5,000 kilograms, reaching the peak of the ninth level. He was like a human-shaped ferocious beast with infinite power.

The eighth-rank master has comprehended the way of softness that is "shaped like goose feathers, and water can find cracks". The strength of his whole body can be switched from hard to soft at will. He has a strength of three thousand pounds and can subdue a tiger with his bare hands.

"Brother Liang, in the Battle of Sarhu, the imperial court was defeated and its elite troops were lost one after another, while the Later Jin was rising like the sun in the east and its national strength was growing day by day."

"After the winter, the Later Jin army will definitely head straight for southern Liaoning, and the war will reignite. We are just small people with no one to rely on. Now is the time for us to make achievements and establish our careers."

"If you don't mind, I, Skinny Monkey, am willing to serve you as my lord and accomplish great things."

Chen Chongwen straightened his collar, looked solemn, and bowed respectfully, just like what was said in the opera, funny but solemn.

The weather outside the Great Wall is extremely cold. Most of the people here are descendants of exiles. Over the years, generation after generation have taken root here. The Shen family and the Chen family are among them.

How could they be willing to fall from a family of scholars to a poor and helpless people with no food or clothing?

"it is good!"

Without saying much, Shen Yuanliang grabbed the skinny monkey's arm tightly and made his attitude clear with his actions.

As the saying goes, a hero needs three helpers. If Shen Yuanliang wants to become a leader and achieve his great goals, he needs helpers, and "skinny monkey" Chen Chongwen is a good choice.

From then on, Shen Yuanliang's first general, the "Wind-ear Ear" who made it impossible for the enemy to hide, returned to his position.

"My Lord, if you want to deal with the Wang family and Tiger Tooth Mountain, you will have a good opportunity tonight."

"On the fifteenth of every month, Huyashan and the Wang family meet at the foot of Daqing Mountain, ten miles east of Jingbian Fort, to discuss the sale of stolen goods."

As if remembering something, the skinny monkey patted his head after figuring out his position, looked around, and spoke in a low voice.

Chen Chongwen, a skinny monkey who mingles in the streets, has his own set of values. Since he has decided to recognize Shen Yuanliang as his master, he immediately offers his "letter of surrender".

"Well, I see."

"Skinny Monkey, do you have anything to do today? If not, come home with me and practice martial arts."

After saying that, Shen Yuanliang took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it on the table which was filled with the smell of fireworks. After saying hello to Dalang, he pulled the skinny monkey and hurried home.

……

"The Iron Shirt aims to induce and mobilize the energy of the human body and strengthen the skin, flesh and bones of the whole body."

"This can strengthen the body to defend against enemies. After mastering this skill, the practitioner will be like wearing iron armor, not afraid of being hit, and his body will be like an iron bell."

The spacious courtyard of the Shen family seemed a little crowded at the moment. Shen Yuanliang explained the various key points of "Iron Shirt" while correcting their movements.

Under the instruction of Shen Yuanliang, nine people, big and small, performed the horse stance in an official manner, mobilizing the Qi and blood throughout their bodies with every breath.

Whether it was the four sisters of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, or the skinny monkey who worshipped him as his lord today, Shen Yuanliang did not hide anything from them. He just hoped that they could master the various movements of "Iron Shirt" as soon as possible.

After all, time waits for no one, and the unrest in southern Liaoning is imminent. If you want to survive, you can only become a warrior as soon as possible.

"Brother Yuanliang, do we want to practice archery as well?"

The sun was at its highest point in the sky. After doing the horse stance, Li Wan'er, exhausted and sore all over, saw Shen Yuanliang taking out his treasured bow and arrow from the house, and said in a low voice.

“Iron Shirt can strengthen one’s skin, muscles, and bones, strengthen one’s body, and increase one’s strength, but weapons are an extension of one’s hands and feet.”

"At the moment, you have only just started practicing martial arts, and you are no different from ordinary people. Bows and arrows are long-range weapons, and practicing archery can give you a way to protect yourself."

"Archery requires 'five levels and three supports'. The shoulders, elbows and forehead should be level, which is called the five levels; the feathers should be close to the mouth, the bowstring should be close to the body, and the ears should listen to the string, which is called the three supports."

"Also, when you draw the bow and put the arrow on it, your hand must be steady and your eyes must be accurate."

Shen Yuanliang held an eight-stone strong bow, bent his left thumb, and placed his fingertips against his middle finger to stabilize his hand. He drew the bow and put an arrow on his right hand in one go.

The sharp arrows shot towards the target a hundred steps away like lightning, one arrow after another, and ten arrows were fired in a row, without any one missing the target.

Shen Zhong was born a hunter. He could shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred paces away and never missed his target. He was an excellent archer and could draw an eight-stone strong bow. This bow was the one he left behind.

Influenced by his father since childhood, Shen Yuanliang's archery skills are also outstanding, but due to his lack of strength, he can only use a soft bow with a stone.

At that moment, Shen Yuanliang was carrying nearly 6,000 kilograms of strength. In order to ensure that everything would go smoothly that night, while teaching Shi Tou and Shou Hou, he also practiced over and over again to regain his feeling.
