Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 92 Tang Dynasty Internal Guard
Although he was thinking about the troublemakers in his mind, Chu Tianshu still ate lunch with a good appetite.

He can now control his digestion and doesn't feel hungry as easily as before.

But since he wanted to practice, it was naturally impossible for him to really maintain his digestive ability at the lowest level by eating only a little grain and water.

A steamed fish and a plate of mutton are a must in every meal, and other items are charged separately.

Although there was no stir-fry at this time, the way the mutton was cooked at Wen's Restaurant was somewhat similar to barbecue on a stone slab, sprinkled with dogwood powder and salt.

The freshness of the mutton itself, combined with salt and the spicy taste of dogwood, can be said to be the closest to the barbecue taste of Chu Tianshu's hometown in terms of seasoning among the restaurant's meat dishes.

It’s the kind of barbecue that really highlights the aroma of meat, and the seasoning is the best foil, rather than overshadowing it.

It is served with Qingjing rice and is irresistible.

When Chu Tianshu finished his lunch, there were more customers in the building.

Because it’s time for Dao Baishu to tell stories again.

"What I want to say today is that the evil man is secretly plotting to sow discord, and General Fubo is conquering Lingnan!"

Dao Baishu came on stage and first raised a paper hammer.

"Ma Yuan, the Fubo General of the Han Dynasty, is said to be the first generation commander of Leigu Weng Jinchui."

"After his death, his soldier spirit dissipated, but the quality of these two hammers was superb. They were passed to Li Yuanba, who nurtured their soldier spirits. Their domineering nature surpassed their predecessors."

"While Li Yuanba's martial arts skills are unrivaled, he is still young and doesn't understand the subtleties of civil governance. General Ma, on the other hand, is a master of both civil and military skills."

"When Lingnan rebelled in the past, General Ma suppressed the bandits and governed the area, building canals, promoting commerce, and improving people's livelihoods, making the people of Central Plains and Lingnan feel like one family."

"But there are also some evil people with ulterior motives who are trying to sabotage the relationship between the people of the Central Plains and Lingnan by using evil tricks and schemes."

"How pitiful! How many people have been secretly exploited by them, how many withered bones have been trampled under their feet, all for the sake of their own selfish desires..."

Dao Baishu's indignation was evident when he said this. He swung the paper hammer in the air, as if he wanted to smash the demon from that year to pieces with one blow.

"What kind of tricks and magic did the demon have? How did General Ma put this matter to rest? Let me tell you in detail!"

Most of the people in the hall were listening to the storytelling with excitement and anticipation, because Dao Baishu's stories were indeed detailed and fascinating.

Moreover, according to some rumors, General Ma Yuan, the Fubo General, also came to the territory of Nanzhao, erected a bronze pillar to offer sacrifices to heaven, and educated the local people. He was quite famous among the people of Nanzhao.

Everyone loves to hear stories about celebrities.

The drummer Weng Jinchui has linked Ma Fubao and Li Yuanba together, adding to the anticipation.

But there are also some people who can figure out the meaning of it just by listening to the beginning.

This story of the so-called evil person who sowed discord was clearly about Lingnan.

In secret, I'm afraid they are talking about Nanzhao.

This corresponds to the recent rumor that "the wealth of the Nanzhao people was taken away by the Tang people."

Some people think more deeply.

Dao Baishu is not from the Tang Dynasty.

He is a Bai people, and he comes from a prominent family among the Bai people. The royal family of Nanzhao are also Bai people.

Some people originally did not believe the rumors, but after hearing them so many times, they inevitably developed a somewhat awkward impression of the Tang people.

Now, after hearing Dao Baishu say that someone was hiding something behind his back, that little bit of awkwardness immediately turned into a feeling of dissatisfaction as if someone was trying to take advantage of him.

Chu Tianshu noticed the change in everyone's expressions, walked up to the counter, and chuckled softly, "Is this the trick Madam Wen Jing came up with?"

Lady Wen Jing was looking at the stage and shook her head: "I didn't say this to Mr. Dao."

Blind Cheng said, "It seems that the old man is also a caring person."

"No wonder he keeps reading disclaimers. Turns out he's a big innuendo-lover at heart. He's just trying to build up his armor."

Chu Tianshu said something that others could hardly understand, smiling broadly, "His book is well-written. The good thing is that even though it contains innuendos, it is full of righteousness in its heart."

Cheng Xiazi sighed and said, "But how much use can this be?"

"If we can't catch and kill the people who secretly planned this conspiracy, all we can do will be to close the fold after the sheep have been bolted. Even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, there will always be a time when you can slip through the cracks."

Blind Cheng tightened the scabbard in his hand, looking a little annoyed.

"It's so unpleasant!"

Lady Wenjing patted his shoulder.

Chu Tianshu said, "Don't be impatient. If they really want to make this a big deal, they will only make more moves and reveal more clues."

"Besides, you killed the three people who targeted Madam Wen Jing, and their bodies were taken away by the government. If this kind of gang wants to be cohesive, they should have some sense of revenge. What if they find out that you killed one of their young masters before..."

"Oh, they will definitely attack the restaurant again. There will be more people coming, and the strength and status of the leader will be more important."

Chu Tianshu's eyes lit up slightly, "That's actually our chance."

Cheng Xiazi said in a deep voice: "What can we do? Most of what we have is just speculation. We can't rely on this. Please ask the government to send more people to protect the restaurant."

The people sent by the government are currently focusing on protecting those important figures who have been stabbed but are not dead yet.

As they were talking, a young and strong man came in from the door. He was also dressed as a waiter, but he had a smell of medicine on him, which mainly came from the sack on his back.

"Is it Doctor Chu?"

The shop assistant said, "I'm from the Zijin Pharmacy in the city. These are the herbs I sent you. Where do you think I should put them?"

Chu Tianshu said: "Come with me."

He took his waiter and walked towards the guest rooms.

There are many prescriptions recorded in the boxing manual "Chuang Shaolin", but some medicinal materials cannot be bought in Nanzhao Kingdom.

For example, Acanthopanax senticosus is currently only distributed in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty.

The ingredients used in the prescription chosen by Chu Tianshu were easily available in Nanzhao State, and he made some substitutions and increased the dosage based on his understanding of his own body and pharmacology.

The medicinal materials he currently uses are basically ginseng, polygonatum, eucommia ulmoides, morinda officinalis, purple golden vine, etc.

Because he always ordered a large quantity each time, when he bought it, the clerk would fill a knee-high sack for him and wait for him to crush it and mix it into the sand.

Wen's Restaurant has a courtyard behind the lobby, with kitchens and warehouses on both sides.

Pass through the back wall of this courtyard and you will reach a new courtyard with stone bricks underfoot and short trees and flowers on both sides.

The new courtyard is surrounded by guest room pavilions on three sides. Each pavilion has two floors and each floor has four rooms, which shows that it is quite large.

However, compared to the crowded and lively appearance in the lobby now.

The guest rooms are very deserted during the day.

The guest room where Chu Tianshu lived was in the building to the north.

He paused slightly as he walked into the building.

Each floor of the pavilion should be divided into four rooms, and the rooms should be comfortably decorated.

Therefore, there is no place to set up a hall here. When you enter the door, there is only a five-foot-wide corridor.

There are wooden walls on both sides of the corridor, and inside the wooden walls are the rooms.

Log pillars, carved doors and windows.

Chu Tianshu stood in the corridor, carefully observing the wooden walls on both sides as if for the first time.

The pharmacy clerk asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Tianshu turned his head and looked at the waiter, his pupils slightly bright, and said: "I went to the pharmacy before, why didn't I see you?"

"We have so many employees in our pharmacy. How can you possibly know them all?"

The pharmacy clerk smiled and handed over the sack, "Sir, please take the medicine quickly."

Bang! ! !
The sack suddenly broke.

The man's right hand pierced the sack, his fingernails becoming pitch black and sharp, and the length of his five fingers changing strangely. His five fingers, which should have been uneven, seemed to become symmetrical with the middle finger as the axis.

After the five fingers were combined, they looked exactly like a carefully crafted black iron spear head.

This kind of penetrating power is absolutely incomparable to the lethality of an ordinary person's straight stabbing with his palms.

At this moment, a piece of cloth as thick as a little finger was highlighted in the guy's black belt, appearing bluish and shiny.

After the Yuwen family became a martial arts family, in addition to their ancestral kung fu, they also specially collected highly concealed strength-strengthening and blood-refining techniques.

This guy's military spirit is on his belt, called the "Lion Belt", and the strength-supporting method that goes with it is called the "Lion Spear"!
Once the power of this soldier soul is activated, the strength will be like that of a wild beast and the hands will be like iron spears.

But when he stabbed out with his hand, the air on the side of his arm suddenly felt a slight expansion.

That was Chu Tianshu's hand waving over.

His gesture, neither a fist nor a palm, looked a bit like a handshake.

The tiger's mouth swept forward, but the speed was too fast, causing the air to be compressed by his palm, resulting in strange disturbances.

puff! !
Chu Tianshu grabbed the fake clerk's wrist.

In the soldier soul state, the arms are as hard as stone.

Chu Tianshu grabbed his sleeves, shattering them, tearing his flesh and blood, and cracking his bones.

There were actually a few lines of blood spurting out from between Chu Tianshu's fingers and splashing onto the ground.

The fake guy's face twisted into a look of disbelief and pain.

Chu Tianshu's hand trembled again in an instant.

The fake clerk only felt a force like a wave rushing into his body, making his face tremble and running through his whole body, and then the wind suddenly changed.

boom! !

Chu Tianshu shook his body, and the force was transmitted to the fake servant, who was used as a weapon, smashing the wooden wall on the right.

In the room on the right, a strong man was holding a long knife and was about to attack.

The wall broke, causing his face to change slightly. The fake guy's legs were already swinging horizontally on the strong man.

The strong man's chest caved in on the spot, his ribs were broken, blood spurted out, and he flew backwards, hitting the corner of the wall.

The wooden wall on the left also shattered, and the fragments flew into the corridor.

Those were the three people hiding in the room on the left who came out to kill us.

Their wrist guards, belts, and daggers each emitted light as they attacked at the same time.

Chu Tianshu took a step back, using his back foot as the axis. When his heel hit the ground, the shock wave spread throughout his body and also surged out from his right hand.

There was a loud "whoosh!" sound in the air.

The fake servant's body was like a big iron whip, and was swung back by Chu Tianshu.

All three people were included in the raid in one fell swoop.

Boom! ! !
The three men's attacks, almost without any particular order, landed on the fake guy.

Then, all three figures felt a powerful shock wave rushing back, causing their faces to shake, their chests to hold their breath, and they retreated backwards.

Bang, bang, bang!

The tables, chairs, potted plants and beds in the room on the left were all smashed to pieces as they stumbled back violently.

But at this moment, the sky above the corridor suddenly lit up.

The floor of the second floor was destroyed by a force.

But this time, there was no sound of wooden boards breaking and shattering.

Because the force that shattered the floor was both fierce and clean.

The ferocity of the blow lies in the fact that all the wooden boards in the area of ​​the corridor below, which are seven feet long and five feet wide, were shattered into powder by this blow.

The neat thing is that this force is only released on the wooden boards within this range.

It didn't spread to the surrounding area and cause more wood cracks.

So during the whole process, there was no extra sound at all.

There was just a slight sound as if something was vibrating.

The knife flashed, and it fell down accompanied by a large amount of rapidly falling wood chips and dust.

Chu Tianshu's eyes changed slightly. He felt that the momentum of the knife was already looming over him. If he retreated, he would be pursued by a violent storm.

He might not be unable to cope with that kind of pursuit, but his instinctive mastery of boxing allowed him to choose a better way to respond. He suddenly loosened his right hand and moved his body diagonally forward.

The fake guy's body was still hanging in mid-air.

Chu Tianshu appeared on the left side of the fake clerk, and the figure holding a knife appeared on the right side.

The vertical knife light suddenly changed, crossing from right to left.

But the next moment, Chu Tianshu suddenly appeared in the direction where the fake clerk's feet were pointing.

Two figures, like windblown cotton wool or butterflies among flowers, circled around the fake clerk's body.

The surrounding dust was driven by the strong wind from the two figures, forming a brief vortex.

But Chu Tianshu just circled around, while the knife-wielding man's knife flashed in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Tianshu appeared in the room on the right.

The fake guy's body fell to the ground and broke into more than a dozen pieces.

The man with the knife stood at the gap in the room on the left. The dust had become thin, revealing his appearance.

He was a burly middle-aged man with big eyes, a flat nose, and a short beard as thin as a needle. The big knife in his hand was four feet long, as wide as a human palm, thick and heavy.

Just now, he used this knife so swiftly that it seemed like a blade as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Excellent swordsmanship. Your murderous intent is much better hidden than those in this room."

Chu Tianshu's ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of chaotic shouting and the faint sound of weapons clashing coming from the lobby in front.

But even if there was a battle over there, it would not pose as much of a threat as the swordsman in front of him.

"I'm very pleased that you all have come to me on your own initiative, but isn't your original target Madam Wen Jing?"

Chu Tianshu swept the sleeve of his right hand to clear away the dust around him, with a smile on his face and a questioning tone in his voice.

"How come a true master is placed here with me?"

The man holding the knife snorted coldly.

"Let's be frank. The people in this restaurant have lived in Nanzhao for a long time. How could they possibly know what our Yuwen family is doing?"

"If there's anyone who's suddenly appeared recently, there's only one, you!"

The person holding the knife lowered his center of gravity and began breathing more heavily.

"The Tang Dynasty's inner guards are truly extraordinary. They were able to detect clues and send people to deal with us!"

"Although you are not the commander of the left and right divisions of the inner guard, your skills are definitely not ordinary."

"I, Yuwen Tongxin, will kill a talented member of the inner guard today and eliminate a great threat to my Yuwen family in the future!"

Chu Tianshu's eyebrows twitched.

"So I'm an internal guard."

Chu Tianshu murmured, "I heard that the reputation of the Tang Dynasty's inner guards is like that of evil spirits. Should I be more brutal?"
