Chapter 182: Curve Study
In the dark streets, dirty water drips everywhere, emitting a foul smell.
In one corner, several young men of seventeen or eighteen years old grabbed a man of the same age and punched and kicked. The man did not dare to resist, so he could only hold his head and lay on the ground without moving. Soon, he was covered in bruises.
After it was time to get enough of his hands, several young men stopped. The leader was shirtless, spitting a saliva at the man on the ground, and then cursed fiercely: "Didn't you see it? The whole city searched. I won't pay the protection fee I should pay, I will kill you. I'll hear it clearly, three low-level Yuan crystal stones, next time I don't have it, I will send you to the heavenly prison!"
After lifting the man on the ground a few more feet, he led the people behind him to leave in a swaying manner.
The dirty and smelly corner suddenly became quiet, and the man on the ground was motionless. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his body, he would probably feel dead.
After a long time, I turned over and looked at the dark sky, my eyes were dull and full of despair.
Just when I didn’t know where the future would be, I suddenly heard someone ask softly: “Do you… owe them money?”
The young man was slightly shocked and looked in the sound. At some point in the dark corner, there was a figure in black clothes standing in the dark corner, unable to see his face clearly, which was extremely mysterious.
"Do you... owe them money?" The man in black repeated.
The young man shook his head with difficulty and said nothing.
The man in black asked again: "Then why do they ask you to hand in three low-level Yuan crystals?"
"They are scum, they are bullies!" Tears burst out from the young man's eyes: "Relying on someone as a backer, they specifically bully the helpless orphans like me. They force us to pay protection fees every month and force us to work in the mines outside. We can't do it if we want to leave here. They have someone in the army and they are not allowed to leave Jue City at all."
"There is such a thing!" The man in black was slightly stunned. Then he shook his head and laughed in silence: "The Empire is indeed the place where the most basic rules are preserved."
After laughing, he said to the young man: "I can't change you, I can only help you a little. I will teach you a method. If you are lucky, you may be able to avoid them."
Hearing this, the young man was stunned. Then he sat up with difficulty and sat on the ground motionlessly.
The man in black whispered: "This is a technique of change. If you can learn it well, you can become the person you are. With their abilities, it should be difficult to recognize you. If you have the chance, leave here... Are you willing to learn it?"
"Yes, I'm willing!" The young man hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "As long as you can get out of here, let your seniors do it."
"I don't need to send a mission. I just saw you remembering me before!" The man in black said slowly: "I will teach you the martial arts. Whether you can learn it depends on your own luck... You are practicing the illusion and Taoist pattern, so there should be no big problem."
"Illusion Taoist pattern..."
The young man pinched his fists and said nothing more. Although all the Taoist patterns in the world are magical, some Taoist patterns are destined to be cultivated to a certain level before they can be outstanding.
Just like the illusion Taoist pattern he practiced, when his realm was not enough, there was not much magic except for using some magical powers called tricks. Not to mention fighting. Moreover, this magical power is closely related to mental power and formations, and it is only possible for cultivators with background and wealth to practice well. It is impossible for him to make any progress.
And what other magical powers are like this man in black said, there is no chance to contact them at all.
If he had any choice, he would not have practiced such a Taoist pattern that had no effect in the foundation-building stage. But those villains were completely unhuman. Back then, they actually wanted to make some tricks and forced himself to practice this Taoist pattern, which now has no ability to resist at all. They can only be slaughtered by others.
"As long as you don't die, there will always be hope!" The man in black seemed to know what he was thinking, comforted him, and then sent a message to teach the martial arts.
When a person saw a glimmer of light in despair, he was naturally extremely serious and tried his best. He was practicing the illusion Taoist pattern. The magical power taught by the man in black is also a very simple technique for the illusion Taoist pattern. He kept trying and continued to give advice from the man in black. After three hours, he finally successfully became the same as another person.
But after all, my cultivation level was not deep, and it lasted for only a quarter of an hour and it changed back. But this was enough for the young man.
"It's not bad!" The man in black nodded, and when he saw the dawn was about to appear, he threw down a Qiankun bag: "There are ten low-level Yuan crystals inside, so I can help you. Take care of yourself in the future!"
"Thank you senior!" The young man was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the Qiankun bag in his hand, tightly as if he was holding his own life.
He had just started the magical power of change and could not get out of it. He still had to deal with the troubles in front of him before he could have enough time. These ten low-level Yuan crystals were enough for him to deal with those villains for more than two months, which should be enough.
Kneeling on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Senior, I am unforgettable. Please tell me the name of the emperor and repay the kindness today in the future."
"Chen Weiming!"
The man in black left three words, then rose into the air and left in an instant.
This man in black is Chen Weiming. He could not learn the art of phantom by himself, so he could only find another way to teach the technique. After the other party learned it, he would naturally learn it.
If you are in other forces, it will definitely not be that easy to do this. After all, it is not easy to find someone who cannot find his identity, but cannot have a low cultivation level, and does not have a background, and practices the Taoist pattern of illusion.
He also had a try-out mentality, but he didn't expect to find it, and there were quite a few.
Thanks to the rule of the country that the whole country is a soldier, and the specialized teachings of people in various cities, the people of Juecheng who are over fifteen years old, unless some people born dull and difficult to practice, almost everyone else has the cultivation level above the foundation-building stage, after all, they have very comprehensive teaching.
Juecheng is a very rich city and a very dirty city. The darkness behind it is even more than Yanyun Pavilion. People cannibalize people here and are hidden behind the prosperity.
In order to control these long-term financial resources, those villains forced them to work in the mines and forced them to practice some Taoist patterns that were almost uncombat-free in the low realm, such as the Taoist patterns of illusion and the Taoist patterns of ears... in order to achieve the purpose of long-term control.
However, this helped Chen Weiming.
Beginning with the illusion technique, and relying on his understanding of Taoist patterns, he has already achieved higher accomplishments than that young man.
