Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

This is a small tea shed on the outskirts of Dengzhou. It only has a roof supported by four thick wooden sticks, and there are no walls.Under the shed are five or six wooden tables of different sizes, the paint has all peeled off and is extremely mottled.Some tables had flat stones under their legs for balance, and the tabletops were pitted with dust accumulated over the years.It was mid-autumn at this time, and the surrounding trees were falling, swaying bare, and the fallen leaves, along with the dust, rose and fell from time to time, blowing towards the face, floating into the tea bowls of the diners, and a thin layer of dust appeared after a while.However, those men didn't realize it, and drank the almost colorless tea that had been brewed in big gulps, and said loudly: "Hey, the weather is good this year, and it seems to be a good harvest! Thank God!"

Another gray-clothed man wiped his neck, drank the tea and said with a smile: "Hey, not only should we thank heaven and earth, but also our lord. If it weren't for our lord who loves the people like a son and treats people lightly and poorly, we would have A good harvest is not enough to pay rent and tax!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The man who spoke just now hastily echoed: "Isn't it! We're in good time! Oh, yes, you have heard that our prince recently came to Beijing by order, but he didn't know the emperor's move. What is our prince going for?"

As soon as the man said this, the people on the other tables immediately gathered together. They seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and they all said: "I've heard about it too. There won't be any danger if the prince goes here. Bar?"

"Hmph, our lord holds the world's most powerful army, who dares to be rude to our lord?"

"That's right! Even the current Holy Majesty, don't even think about touching a single hair of our prince!"

"Hey, let me tell you that you are not afraid of beheading, if the emperor dares to think anything, I will turn against our prince..."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone was stunned, and no one dared to continue for a while.It was a small man who started the conversation, and just now he uttered this outrageous remark out of righteous indignation, and at that moment he also became afraid.Everyone was silent, when suddenly one person slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Man, say what you say, why don't you dare to admit it? My old Lei is here to say something today. In my life, I have always only Recognize our prince as the master, hum, the baby emperor is nothing!"

This old Lei seemed to be the leader of these few people, he stared like a tiger, quite majestic.His words were sonorous and forceful, and the sound was so loud that it made people feel that their minds were taken away.The other few men agreed without any hesitation, and the bolder ones raised their arms and shouted.

It was dusk at this time, and there were no guests in the small tea shed.The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, with a black towel on his shoulders, rubbing the sweat on his forehead, and was clearing away the teacup. Trembling, he stepped forward and persuaded: "Masters, stop for a while! In this peaceful and prosperous world, what nonsense are you talking about? If you want to talk, go home and talk about it, don't talk about it with me!"

The man who called himself "Old Lei" glanced at the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, why did you say that? Are we drinking tea here, are you counting as your guests? Are you giving us an order to evict us?"

The old man Zhang said dumbly: "If you drink tea, I can't ask for it, but look at what you said just now, it's a crime worthy of beheading! If the government punishes this crime, won't my old man have to pay for it?"

The old Lei seemed a little impatient with this old man, and he heard his bad tone. He frowned and clenched his fists. He was about to speak, but he heard a clear voice from the next seat: "Hey, come on." Come on, the government's arresters are here, run away!"

That old Lei and his gang were already guilty, and just now they were speechless because of a sudden surge of enthusiasm, but now the enthusiasm has passed, they were all shocked when they heard these words, they panicked immediately, and hurried away They ran around, and even got under the table and shivered.

Seeing that they were so vulnerable, the person sitting next to him couldn't help giggling, his voice was very clear and melodious.That old Lei heard the laughter, and then he came to his senses, collected himself, pointed at the man and cursed: "Where did the bastard come to lie to your Grandpa Lei? Are you impatient?"

The guest was well dressed, with long sleeves and long sleeves, and was very elegantly dressed.It's just that he lowered his head, but couldn't see his face clearly.He took a sip of the residual tea on the table, and still said calmly: "Master, come and add some tea for me, this tea is cold."

Old man Zhang looked at the two people who were in a stalemate, and froze in place for a moment.Seeing that old man Zhang was not moving, the man smiled again and said, "Hey, are you not doing business anymore?"

The old man Zhang came to his senses at this moment, and ran over to persuade him, "My little brother, I think you are weak in writing and can't take care of this kind of business. This guy named Lei can be regarded as a bully in the village, and no one dares to mess with him." of……"

Before the old man Zhang finished speaking, Lao Lei had already rushed forward, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the back of the old man Zhang.Only the old man Zhang groaned, and Lao Lei yelled loudly, bent his left arm and raised it at the same time, his elbow was about to push the old man Zhang's chest.

This old Lei was tall and burly, with dark and strong chest muscles, very sturdy.Ordinary people must suffer from chest tightness for a long time after being hit by him, let alone this old man with gray hair who is getting old? Seeing this elbow go down, he must die.

All of a sudden, that old Lei felt his arms go numb, as if his bones were about to break.Before he realized what was going on, he couldn't move.Lao Lei was startled, looked intently, and saw the guest sitting upright in his place, holding a pot in his plain hand, pouring tea.The old man Zhang stood beside him in shock, holding the table with both hands, panting continuously with his waist bent, his eyes fixed on the guest, and his face was full of doubts.

Lao Lei can be considered to have seen the world, and he has dealt with many people in the world who call themselves "heroes".Although it is difficult to practice this kung fu of light body and point of learning, it is not uncommon. If you have more than ten years of cultivation base and a better understanding, you can still practice light kung fu such as flying on water plants like a dragonfly.Therefore, what made Lao Lei dumbfounded was not the kung fu itself, but the man's superb speed.Just like this gust of wind, it rises above the nine heavens, fluttering and flying across the clouds, and can sweep across a radius of tens of miles in an instant.But this person's lightness kung fu is different from the raging gust of wind, because although the gust of wind is extremely fast, it still has a shape and quality, blowing across the cheeks, blowing across the grass, there is sensation.But this person's lightness kung fu is really like a ghost, and it changes so quickly that it is almost unimaginable.No one saw exactly how he moved, just snatched old man Zhang from Lao Lei's iron-clad giant palm so silently, and while snatching him, he was actually leisurely." By the way "Go and take the teapot on the table four tables away and pour tea to drink, it's really like the flowing clouds and the water, and the dew and the stars are galloping.And all of this is only in the blink of an eye, really in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Lao Lei had his acupuncture points hit and he was speechless.In fact, even if he was able to move freely and everything was normal, when he saw the scene in front of him, he would be motionless in shock, as frozen as a rock.Lao Lei thought to himself: "Hey, I really learned a lot today. I must pay a good visit to this old man later, and ask him to teach me some tricks no matter what!"

Let's say that the guest picked up the tea bowl, took a few sips slowly, cleared his throat and said, "Hey, your name is Lao Lei, right?"

Lao Lei was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart: "Why does this tall man speak without majesty? His voice is so crisp and tender? He looks like a woman... Ah, no, no, you must not be rude, senior!" As he thought about it, he wished he could give himself two slaps to vent his anger on his "senior".Seeing that he didn't speak, the guest just rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, he slapped his head and said: "Oh, yes, I sealed your acupoint just now. You can't speak anymore! Alright, I'll untie it for you right now, and you're not allowed to be rude to this old man again!"

Before the man pronounced the word "le", Lao Lei was already able to move freely, but he still couldn't see how the man relieved the acupoints.As soon as Lao Lei was free, he bent his knees, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully and said: "Senior, let me pay respects to Lei Zhen."
