Chapter 38 "Havoc in Heaven"
"Master, are you playing the Monkey King?"
Shunzi stared blankly at the pile of golden props.
"What, it doesn't look like it?"
Lu Cheng casually picked up the 30-pound iron rod.
He twirled the stick in his hand.
"call--"
The stick seemed weightless in his hand, turning into a ball of golden light, impervious to water.
"Monkey plays train the mind of the monkey."
Lu Cheng wielded the stick while instructing the students.
"The mind is like a restless monkey, and the body is like a lively bird."
"We used to practice Xingyi spear, which is about killing and composure."
Today, I'll teach you the 'monkey form'.
Lu Cheng suddenly shrank back.
Its once tall and imposing body suddenly became hunched and curled up, like a nimble monkey poised to pounce.
With a light step, he floated up the three-meter-high stage pillar.
Without using his hands, he relied solely on the gripping force of his toes and leg muscles to stick to the pillar!
"Wow, the lost art of gecko wall-climbing?!"
Shunzi and Xiaodouzi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's a monkey climbing a tree!"
Lu Cheng nimbly turned over on the pillar, hanging upside down, his eyes gleaming with a playful and arrogant light.
"Lu Feng, here you go."
Lu Cheng casually tossed the thirty-pound iron rod down.
Lu Feng instinctively reached out to take it.
"Bang!"
It was extremely heavy, and Lu Feng staggered from the impact, almost kneeling down, but he gritted his teeth and held on tightly to the stick.
"This stick is yours from now on."
Lu Cheng landed with a flip, as light as a feather.
"In 'Havoc in Heaven,' Shunzi played the Giant Spirit God, and Xiaodouzi played Nezha."
"Lu Feng, you'll play Erlang Shen."
"Huh?" Lu Feng was stunned. "Grandpa, Erlang Shen is against the Monkey King."
"right."
Lu Cheng patted him on the shoulder.
"I want you on stage to actually fight me."
"Use your ruthlessness, use all your strength."
"Don't treat it like a play; treat it like a battlefield."
"The show will only be interesting if we beat you into submission."
Lu Feng held the iron rod, his palms sweating, but a fire burned in his eyes.
Fight with Master?
That's what he's always dreamed of doing!
"good!"
……
The play was rehearsed for a whole morning.
With his profound martial arts skills and ultimate control over his body, Lu Chengquan brought the Monkey King to life.
More importantly, he is trying to incorporate the agility of the "monkey form" into his martial arts.
Rigidity cannot last, nor can gentleness be maintained.
Only by combining strength and gentleness can one achieve the great way.
After practicing all morning, Lu Cheng felt that the [Toad-Catching Strength] within his body was circulating more smoothly, and his Ming Strength had gained a more agile and graceful flavor.
"call……"
Lu Cheng finished his practice and exhaled a breath of stale air.
I looked at the sun.
It's noon.
It's time to go to that "blind date banquet".
……
The location was set at "Taifenglou".
That was a famous restaurant outside Qianmen, specializing in Shandong cuisine, with large portions, good value, and a respectable atmosphere.
Lu Cheng changed into a moon-white long robe with a black mink fur jacket over it. He held a folding fan in his hand and looked gentle and refined. How could he be a ruthless martial arts performer?
Shunzi, acting as his follower, carried the gift box and followed behind.
We arrived at a private room on the second floor.
Lu Laogen had arrived long ago and was talking to a middle-aged woman dressed in flamboyant clothes. That woman was Liu the matchmaker.
A girl with her head down was sitting next to me.
She was wearing a light blue cheongsam and had her hair styled in a fashionable perm. Although she didn't look up, her figure was slender.
This is Wang Wan'er, the daughter of the Wang family.
"Oh, Boss Lu is here."
When Liu the matchmaker saw Lu Cheng, her eyes lit up like light bulbs, and she quickly stood up to greet him.
"Look at him, look at his character, his demeanor! He's truly a celestial being descended from heaven!"
"Miss Wang, quickly, greet Boss Lu."
Wang Wan'er then raised her head.
She was indeed beautiful, with an oval face, big eyes, and a gentle, refined air.
only……
Lu Cheng keenly noticed that there was a hint of panic, and even a hint of... fear, in the girl's eyes.
What is she afraid of?
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
Wang Wan'er stood up, curtsied, her voice barely audible, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to shreds.
Lu Cheng returned the greeting and took his seat.
The atmosphere was initially quite harmonious, with Lu Laogen and Matchmaker Liu praising each other in turn.
But the longer Lu Cheng sat down, the more uneasy he felt.
Ever since he entered, Wang Wan'er's eyes have been constantly glancing towards the door, looking restless, as if she were waiting for someone or hiding from someone.
"Miss Wang."
Lu Cheng picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"The braised sea cucumber with scallions at Taifeng Restaurant looks good, why aren't you eating it?"
"Huh? I..."
Wang Wan'er was startled, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
"What's wrong?" Lu Laogen asked, puzzled.
Just then.
"Bang!"
The door to the private room was kicked open.
The kick was extremely powerful; the door slammed against the wall, causing dust to fall from the ceiling.
Lu Laogen was so startled that he almost spilled the wine glass in his hand.
There were four or five men in black police uniforms standing at the door.
The leader, wearing his hat askew, had a Mauser pistol tucked into his waistband, a pockmarked face, a toothpick dangling from his mouth, and a face full of menacing features.
This is Wu Mazi, the captain of the action team of the Nancheng Patrol Police Bureau.
In this area, there are evil spirits even more troublesome than Wan Qi.
Because he had a gun and the government was behind him.
"Wow, it's getting lively here!"
Wu Mazi spat out the toothpick in his mouth and swaggered in, his beady green eyes fixed on the trembling Wang Wan'er.
"Wan'er, what's going on? Are you going on a blind date with a pretty boy behind your Brother Wu's back?"
Wang Wan'er turned pale with fright and hid behind Matchmaker Liu.
Matchmaker Liu also looked embarrassed, clearly knowing how formidable Wu Mazi was, and shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.
"Who are you?"
Lu Laogen was now a man of status, and although he was afraid, he still stood up with a stiff upper lip.
"We're eating here, what are you doing here?"
"who I am?"
Wu Mazi chuckled, walked over, and wiped his hands on Lu Laogen's newly made silk clothes.
"Old man, why don't you go and ask around?"
"In this southern part of the city, who dares to touch the woman I set my sights on?"
As he spoke, he turned his head, his sinister eyes fixed on Lu Cheng.
"You're Lu Cheng, the opera singer?"
"I heard you're good at something, and you think you're all that just because you picked a sled?"
"Let me tell you, that's just a play!"
Wu Mazi patted the Mauser pistol at his waist, making a crisp "pop" sound.
"Your skills are nothing compared to this thing!"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Consider this meal a reward from me, Master Wu."
"otherwise……"
Wu Mazi grabbed a plate of "Delicious Fried Double Crispy Dishes" from the table, and without even noticing how hot it was, he turned it upside down and put it on the ground.
"That's what you call being shameless!"
Lu Laogen was trembling with anger. It was a banquet he had prepared for his son's blind date, and it had been ruined.
Shunzi had been holding back for a long time, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, ready to rush forward.
Lu Cheng stretched out a hand and stopped Shunzi.
He remained seated in his chair, not even lifting his buttocks.
He even had that gentle smile on his face.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Captain Wu, right?"
Lu Cheng picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of sea cucumber, and slowly put it into his mouth.
"The rules at Taifeng Restaurant are that wasting food will get you struck by lightning."
"Struck by lightning?"
Wu Mazi laughed loudly, "I am thunder! Let's see who dares to strike me..."
