A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 416: Killing without Waiting

Just as Lu Cheng was teaching Zhen Guanxi and the others a lesson, a tall, broad-shouldered, strong man with a full beard came to the outskirts of the crowd and asked the people around him what was going on.

Upon learning that someone was teaching the local bully Zhen Guanxi a lesson, the man immediately squeezed in to watch the fun.

Lu Cheng walked up to the knocked-down Zhen Guanxi, stepped on his chest, pointed at Zheng Tu's head, and said, "A butcher who kills pigs relies on his brute force to bully the good people at will. You really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! I'll teach you a lesson today. If I find you doing something evil again in the future, I'll beat you up every time I see you."

Just as Lu Cheng pointed at Zheng Tu on the ground, Zuoshan Diao had arrived nearby at some point and landed on the eaves of the restaurant. Seeing the owner pointing at that person, Zuoshan Diao immediately memorized the person's facial features.

As Lu Cheng retracted his fingers, clenched them into fists, and casually hammered down, then retracted his fist, the Mountain Eagle stood up and flew away.

The guys who fell to the ground were wailing in pain, but they actually didn't have any injuries.

Lu Cheng's moves just now were clean and neat, and each one hit the part of each person's body where the nerves were most densely concentrated, causing them to suffer the greatest pain without leaving any injuries.

"I won't dare to do that again. Never again."

At this moment, a voice came from the crowd: "Well done! Scoundrels like this should be severely beaten."

Lu Cheng looked up and saw a tall and strong man with a round face, wide ears, a straight nose and a square mouth stepping towards him. When he came to Zheng Tu, he kicked him and then saluted Lu Cheng with his fists: "Excuse me, this strong man, my surname is Lu Mingda, I am the deputy commander of the Jinglüe Mansion, and I like to make friends with heroes. May I ask this strong man's name?"

"It's Lu Zhijie. Nice to meet you. I'm Lu Cheng from the Jeju Prefecture."

"Lu Cheng from Jizhou Prefecture? This name sounds familiar. Let me think about it. Is he the legendary warrior who subdued a fierce tiger in Yuncheng County?"

"Yes, it is Lu."

"I've heard that there's a strong man in Jeju Prefecture who can tame a tiger, but I didn't expect he's so young. Let's go! I'll treat you to a drink!"

When the people around heard this, they all began to discuss quietly: "Is this the warrior who tamed the tiger? He is indeed extraordinary!"

"That's right. He kicked Zheng the butcher away. A group of people rushed over, but before they could get close to him, they were knocked to the ground."

"It's really great."

Although transportation was inconvenient in that era and news spread slowly, after nearly a year of dissemination, coupled with the legendary nature of Lu Cheng's taming of the tiger, the news has now spread throughout the world. Some people even privately gave Lu Cheng the nickname "God of Subduing the Tiger."

It can be said that Lu Cheng has already topped the traffic rankings of the Song Dynasty and has become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

After Zheng Tu and his men left, Lu Cheng and Lu Da returned to the restaurant. Jin Cui Lian and her daughter immediately stepped forward to express their gratitude: "Thank you very much, sir, for standing up for us. Your kindness is so great that we cannot repay you..."

(Jin Cuilian)

"No need to say more. Has your mother been buried?"

"I haven't raised enough money for the funeral yet..."

Lu Cheng brought Jin Cuilian and her daughter into a private room on the second floor, took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom, and handed it to Jin Cuilian: "Take this money and go bury your mother first. As for the rest of the money, if you want to settle down here, you can settle down here. If you want to return to Tokyo, you can also use it as travel expenses."

"Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir!"

"Okay, go bury your relatives first."

The father and daughter left with many thanks, while Lu Cheng, Shi Jin and Lu Da returned to the table.

Speaking of which, Lu Cheng and Shi Jin arrived in Weizhou relatively early.

In the original novel, Shi Jin was forced to leave his hometown because of his dealings with bandits from Shaohua Mountain. Unwilling to become a bandit, he thought of going to find his master Wang Jin to seek a career, and that's how he met Lu Da on the way.

Later, Shi Jin and Lu Da had a drink together and learned that Jin Cui Lian was forced to be a concubine by Zhen Guanxi three months ago with fake money and real contract, and then was driven out by Zhen Guanxi's wife, who also extorted 3,000 strings of money from them. Lu Tixia was so angry that he stood up for Jin Cui Lian and her father and daughter, beat Zhen Guanxi to death with three punches, and was forced to flee. On the way to escape, he met Jin Cui Lian who was married to Zhao Yuanwai, and with Zhao Yuanwai's help, he entered Mount Wutai to become a monk.

Now, Jin Cui Lian has not signed the contract to sell herself for three thousand strings of cash, which means that there are still three months before Lu Zhijie will attack Zhen Guanxi.

After the three of them returned to the dinner table, Lu Zhishen asked the waiter to bring another table of food and wine, and ordered a few jars of good wine. He bowed to the two of them, saying that he would treat them to a drink, and took the opportunity to ask about what had happened before.

After learning everything, Lu Zhijie couldn't help cursing: "A butcher who kills pigs is so arrogant. I should have beaten him up earlier. Brother Lu, you were too gentle."

"We are outsiders after all. It is not appropriate to hurt someone directly in public."

"Brother Lu is right, let's have some wine!"

Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin are both heroic men. In the original novel, they were able to get along and become good brothers, and it is naturally the same now.

The three of them toasted each other and became familiar with each other after a few words. Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin even took off their shirts to reveal their tattoos.

In fact, there are still many people with tattoos in the martial arts world these days, and people are not so averse to tattoos. Otherwise, Shi Jin's father would not have paid a high price to hire a craftsman to tattoo his son.

Shi Jin has 9 dragons tattooed on his body, while Lu Zhishen has peony flowers tattooed on his body, which is also the origin of the Flower Monk's name.

In addition to Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen, many of the 108 Liangshan warriors also had tattoos. The most famous one was the prodigal Yan Qing, who attracted Song Huizong's woman Li Shishi with the tattoo of the Three Friends of Winter.

While the three were drinking, the vulture had already flown to the forest outside the city and soon found a poisonous snake with a very venomous smell.

Under normal circumstances, the mountain eagle will eat its prey on the spot. Even a venomous snake will be just a spicy strip in the mouth of a mountain eagle.

But today was different. After catching the poisonous snake, the mountain eagle did not eat it. Instead, it grabbed the snake's head with its claws and carried it into the sky, flying all the way over Weizhou City.

In Weizhou City, Zheng Tu, who was beaten by Lu Cheng, returned home with the help of his two apprentices.

After returning home, Zheng Tu thought about the loss he suffered today and became angrier and angrier. He was thinking about how to get back at his former self, but he didn't notice that there was an eagle hovering over his yard, holding a poisonous snake.

Zheng Tu, who was in the house, thought for a while, and immediately called two servants. He was going to find a captain who had borrowed money from him, and let that captain go and make trouble for Lu Cheng.

But just as Zheng Tu walked out of the house and came to the yard, the eagle in the sky suddenly swooped down and threw the poisonous snake in its claws at Zheng Tu with incredible precision.

Zheng Tu suddenly felt a chill on his neck and reached out to grab it: "What the hell is that?"

"Master, be careful, there are snakes!"

When Zheng Tu touched the poisonous snake in his hand, he shuddered all over and tried to shake it off. However, the snake had just experienced high-altitude flight and was frightened. At this moment, it was suddenly caught again and bit Zheng Tu's neck directly.

Zheng Tu cried out, grabbed the snake's tail, threw it to the ground, and angrily stomped on it several times, killing it on the spot.

"What a damn bad luck! Where did that snake come from just now?"

"Master, it seemed like a dark shadow flew over our heads just now. But I didn't see it clearly."

"I saw it. It looked like a big bird."

At this moment, Zheng Tu suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and even swayed, losing his balance and falling straight to the ground...
