Chapter 43 Qingshan Martial Arts School


Chapter 43 Qingshan Martial Arts School

There is no time to practice martial arts. In the blink of an eye, Shengtian City has entered winter, and heavy snow like goose feathers has fallen one after another.

During this period of time, there was quite a commotion in the entire imperial city because of the Star Reaching Thief.

With the impetus of the Prince's Palace, all the major martial arts schools in the city and several underground gangs took action, and even some civilians joined in, just to find the man who had stolen the prince's four hundred years of history. The thief of ginseng.

However, the result is naturally obvious. There is no specific appearance of the person, so how could this bold thief be captured so easily.

During this period, Li Qing was not idle either. He exchanged some of the top-quality jade he brought out from the Extreme Night World into silver coins.

Then we bought a blacksmith shop on a street in the outer city, which cost a lot of money, but fortunately the procedures were complete, so we didn’t have to worry about going to the government office.

In this way, Li Qing became the owner of the blacksmith shop again. He helped people forge blacksmiths every day, and also spent time selling some of the weapons he forged.

Dang! when! when!

In the blacksmith shop under Li Qingpan, he was hammering the dark red iron block with a serious expression, his movements were so meticulous, as if he was treating a piece of art.

Outside the shop, due to the high temperature of the forge, there was no snow left in front of Li Qing's blacksmith shop. Instead, it was very warm and dry.

Qi Kang sat on the ground leaning against the door pillar, looking at the snowy scene outside the street with a variety of eyes.

Dang!

With Li Qing’s final hammer blow, a kitchen knife began to take shape.

Qi Kang said at the right time: "Master, don't forget the banquet hosted by Qingshan Martial Arts Hall tonight. The owner of the gym has a son, and he is very happy these days."


Li Qing put away the posture of the Ancient Xuan Hammer and immersed the kitchen knife in the water. The high temperature caused sparks to appear on the surface of the water, and a burst of white smoke evaporated fiercely.

As the kitchen knife gradually cooled down, Li Qing gently exhaled and said to Qi Kang: "Go and polish this kitchen knife and send it to Widow Wang's house."< br>
After taking possession of this blacksmith shop, Qi Kang was accepted by Li Qing as his apprentice, but he did not teach him any martial arts, he only taught him blacksmithing.

After a long life, Li Qing finally understood why Patriarch Bodhi did not let Wukong claim to be his disciple.

I am just worried that my apprentice will cause trouble when he goes out. If he provokes some strong man, then he, the master, will not be able to escape.

So Li Qing only taught blacksmithing skills and nothing about martial arts.

In the evening, night falls.

Li Qing led Qi Kang to the only martial arts gym on this street, Qingshan Martial Arts Hall.

This elderly gym owner does have some skills and is a master of external strength.

However, this is not ranked high in Shengtian City. The three major martial arts schools in Shengtian City are really famous!

They are: Hongfeng Martial Arts School, Feiyun Martial Arts School and Jinjia Martial Arts School!

The martial arts masters of the three major martial arts schools are all masters of internal strength. Their martial arts strength cannot be underestimated, and there are also many masters of external strength under their names, which are far beyond what Qingshan Martial Arts School can compare with.

In addition, there is a powerful underground force in the city that should not be underestimated, and that is the Nine Lotus Gate!

This sect's influence spreads over half of the Maple Kingdom, and it has an unclear relationship with the imperial court, so it can also take root in Shengtian.

The above information was obtained by Qi Kang alone.

I have to say that Qi Kang's ability is still very strong. He helped him collect information and helped him in the blacksmith shop. He did it perfectly, making Li Qing feel a little embarrassed and wondering if he should give it to him. Pay more wages.

Of course, Qi Kang, who worked hard and never complained at all, never mentioned a salary increase or anything. His biggest vision was to have Li Qing teach him martial arts. Walking through the streets, the two finally arrived at the gate of Qingshan Martial Arts School.

At a glance, you can see the old and wealthy owner standing in front of the door to welcome guests, with a bright smile on his face. He is as happy as he wants.

"Hahahaha, Master Li, come in and take a seat." Master Xu Qingshan clasped his fists towards Li Qing and said, acting like a person in the world.

Seeing this, Li Qing also took out the gift and said congratulations while giving the gift money to Xu Qingshan.

“Congratulations, Master Qingshan!” Li Qing said with a smile.

Xu Qingshan took the gift money. After feeling the weight of the gift money, the smile on his face became stronger, but he declined: "Hahaha, it's really too foreign. Li Master, come in and sit down, come in and sit down.”

In fact, in addition to paying taxes to the government, you also have to pay some protection fees to these martial arts schools behind your back. Basically, you can go to these martial arts schools for any troublesome things that the government doesn't want to deal with.

After paying the protection fee, generally no gangsters will come to cause trouble, and you can do business with peace of mind.

The underground forces in Shengtian City are basically monopolized by the three major martial arts schools and Jiulianmen. For small martial arts schools like Qingshan Martial Arts School, even if they don’t want to collect money, they have no choice, because opening a martial arts school here requires three The big martial arts school nods and has to pay them membership fees every once in a while.

For this kind of thing, even the government turns a blind eye and maintains acquiescence.

For example, Qingshan Martial Arts School is an area affiliated with Feiyun Martial Arts School. Every year, Qingshan Martial Arts School has to hand over a large portion of the money it collects from merchants on the street to Feiyun Martial Arts School.

Now that the division of territory has reached a balance, half of the territory of Shengtian City belongs to Jiulianmen, and the other half belongs to the three major martial arts schools.

It is said that a long time ago, before the territory was clearly divided, the three major martial arts schools and the Jiulian Gate fought with each other. Fierce fights took place outside the city every night.

Even the masters of internal strength from several major forces often had conflicts.

However, in the end, with the intervention of the imperial court, the fierce fighting gradually calmed down, and finally formed the current situation.

As the saying goes: "In the prosperous days, rice is expensive, and living in a big city is difficult." Naturally, there are many reasons for this.

The martial arts school collected the money from the merchants. The merchants had no choice but to increase the prices of the things they sold and earn back the money in the hands of the people.

The so-called rivers and lakes are nothing more than this.

When Qi Kang first learned about these inside stories, he looked like an angry young man. He secretly scolded the court countless times for their incompetence and the evil intentions of these martial arts sects.

Naturally, he also developed a hatred for people like Qingshan Martial Arts School. He wished that he could become a master of martial arts and wipe out all these martial arts sects that were cannibalizing and exploiting the common people.

In this regard, Li Qing just smiled and did not tell Qi Kang that doing things like the three major martial arts schools and the Nine Lotus Sect was most likely authorized by the imperial court.

It’s okay to just let Qi Kang curse behind his back. He should at least pretend to be a little restrained outside.
