Chapter 10: Viewing Platform

Li Changsheng knows that he cannot master his own power. However, there was no way to explain it at this time. He glared at the third gangster with a beard and took a step forward. Little Beard was frightened, but the rule of the gang was to flee at the moment, and the punishment was heavier. The bearded gangster took out the dagger from his belt, bent his legs slightly, handed the dagger from his left hand to his right hand, and from his right hand to his left hand, hesitating whether to attack or defend.

"Cough!" A cough came from the door, and Little Beard gangster was surprised. Just looking back, he felt that his hands were empty, and the dagger in his hands was snatched away by the person coughing behind him.

The people who ate breakfast in the restaurant hid in the kitchen to watch, fearing that they would be hurt. Li Changsheng saw a sturdy man with dark glasses, sharp edges and corners on his face, came in with a dagger in his hand.

The sunglasses man checked the injuries of several gangsters. After a moment of meditation, he waved his hand. The bearded man held the injured bald fat man and other gangsters on the ground and immediately left the hotel. The sunglasses man followed him out. The bald fat man didn't want to stop. Just as he wanted to speak, the sunglasses man glanced at him Viciously, and the bald man immediately covered his eyes and stopped talking.

Li Changsheng was relieved to see that all these people had left. Turning to Shen Ziyu, who was sitting there quietly and happily, he said, "Why didn't you run away when I fought with them just now? It would be nice to go out to the street and call the patrolman!"

Shen Ziyu said with a leisurely look: "Mr. Li is so brave and fierce, and these local ruffians and rascals have been frightened. Why should I run away? Besides, once I run out to report to the police, the patrolmen come and find that the injured are gangsters, can you get away? At least we have to lock up for a few days, and then compensate them for their medical expenses?"

Li Changsheng was shocked when he heard Shen Ziyu's words, Sighed: "What is it if we lose some money after being locked up for a few days? You come from the upper class society in big cities and have been very successful from childhood to adulthood. You don't know the ferocity of these thugs in the lower class society. They have nothing but a rotten life. Sometimes, for a quarrel, a few yuan of protection fee dare to kill people. I read a sentence from the book: The poorer the local people are, the more evil they are. Although I am also from the poorest mountain village in northwest China I agree with this statement. The poorest people in our village must be lazy, pickpockets, drug addicts and gamblers. "

Shen Ziyu smiled as if it was a sunny morning. He said, "Mr. Changsheng is really unattractive in appearance, but knowledgeable in heart, just like the sea. Today I see you have great kung fu, and you also have a deep insight into society and human nature. It seems that there are many places I will learn from you in the future."

"Stop quickly!" Li Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Please don't make fun of me. I just rely on my youth and strength. I don't know kung fu at all. This is a place of trouble. It's not suitable to stay here for long. Let's go quickly."

They quickly left the snack bar and came to the main road. During the period of the Republic of China, the public security in Guangzhou was good. There were patrolmen on the main roads on bicycles. There are also patrol stations at intersections with large traffic flow. At a mobile stall on the roadside, they each ate a glutinous rice chicken and drank a cup of soybean milk.

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "Ziyu, although the breakfast is simple, we have already eaten it. People are busy working all day, and what they need is just a rice ball and a bowl of water. You have just arrived in Guangzhou, and there are still many things to do. I won't bother you, see you tomorrow."

Shen Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "It's OK, but I also want to get familiar with the surrounding environment. The streets and alleys here are like fairs, and the flow of people is like ants. Is there a quiet place nearby?"

Li Changsheng laughed: "There is nothing lacking here in the port area, but there is a lack of quiet places. However, a few stops south is Xiangxue Park, which is relatively quiet. The house I rented is not far from there, and it's also on the way. If you want to climb the mountain, I can be a tour guide."

In Xiangxue Park, the trees are green and dense, and the canopy blocks the sky. It was already summer, and insects and birds kept singing all the way. There are many climbers in the morning, and many morning exercisers have gone down the mountain. The deep winding path twists and turns into the continuous peaks. When they reached the top of Luofeng, the sky was blue and the clouds were light. The mountain wind made the forest sound like waves.

On the observation platform, Shen Ziyu looked at the South China Sea quietly. At this time, the sea and sky were the same color, the ship shadow was dim, and the landscape was like oil painting. Li Changsheng pointed out the landscape for Shen Ziyu. He suddenly remembered that it was here a year ago that night a grandma gave him a books to read. At this time, he thought about it, like a dream.

Shen Ziyu looked at the dreamy seascape and was silent, remembering the information his grandfather had given him: the Wuwei Taoist Priest of the Wenshi Taoist Temple had an adopted daughter named Yin Lingzhi, who was nicknamed Guye Fairy. Yin Lingzhi left the Taoist temple to observe and learn from real life in a prosperous city every five years according to the Taoist practice requirements last year. She met a young man named Li Changsheng in Guangzhou. Yin Lingzhi accepted Li Changsheng as the last disciple for his father Wuwei Taoist Priest. Li Changsheng's family is in Shaanxi Province, and his parents are farmers. Perhaps this is an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the Wenshi Taoist Temple. If you can get the supreme treasure of Taoism in the Wenshi Temple by knowing Li Changsheng, that is the best.If you can't get it, you will try to get the help of the Wenshi Taoist Temple so that our family will grow stronger in the political and economic fields in China in the future.

Shen Ziyu was thinking, when suddenly a rough hand grabbed his arm. Shen Ziyu was shocked and was about to break away when Li Changsheng whispered:

"Shh, don't turn around and keep calm. Someone is following us." Shen Ziyu calmed down and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is powerful and domineering. Who dares to touch the tiger's tail when you are here?" He broke away from Li Changsheng without leaving a trace.

Li Changsheng secretly scolds Shen Ziyu as a complete fool. I'm just an ordinary person. I have only been practicing Taoist Kung Fu for one year. What power do I have?

Li Changsheng's hearing is extremely sensitive now, and his spiritual sense is far better than that of ordinary people. He feels that several people behind him have stepped onto the observation platform and are approaching slowly in a fan shape. Li Changsheng said quietly, "Wait a minute, I say run, and you run with me. Don't walk away."

"It's daytime and a public place, and there are other tourists on the observation deck. I think these villains dare not do anything bad!" Shen Ziyu is also immobile, pretending to enjoy the distant scenery with his eyes, and his voice is still calm without any fear. He is like an old monk who has meditated in a temple for many years, without any fluctuation in his heart.

Li Changsheng saw that Shen Ziyu was still in no hurry, He suddenly felt angry and funny and said: "These villains should not be too aggressive. I think most of them are the hooligans we met in the snack bar in the morning. There are no patrolmen here to maintain the peace. I guess they just want to beat us out of anger. It's OK for me to be beaten because I'm thick skinned and meaty. I just don't know if a young man from Beijing can stand being beaten by a pervert gay and touching his face several times."

"Oh, it's up to you. I'll run with you later. You usually look like a gentleman. How can you talk so disgustingly?" Shen Ziyu's voice is still calm, just like the water in the lake.

A strong and tough man with a broad back like a gorilla, wearing sunglasses, stood on an undeveloped slope behind Luofeng Temple. He looked at the lush lychee trees around him, and his windbreaker clattered with the wind. The sunglasses man took off his glasses. His face was expressionless,and his eyes were a bit sinister.

"Boss, those two fat sheep went to Luofeng."

"Boss, two fat sheep are resting in the birthday hall"

"Boss, Fat Sheep has arrived at the observation deck."

The guys around kept sending messages back and forth, and the sunglasses man finally said, "There is no one else here. Why the hell are you talking so quietly?"

The bald fat man's left eye is bruised and smeared with some disinfectant. He looks ferocious. But he had to smile and say: "Boss, we usually collect some protection fees and extort money from casinos, bathhouses and brothels. We never kidnap people in the daytime, so we are nervous."

The sunglasses man sneered, "You have only this ability."

The bald fat man was laughed at by the leader for being timid and uncomfortable. He immediately showed his courage and said loudly: "Boss. When I catch these two boys, I will break the tall man's hands and feet, and then put him into a sack and sink him into the sea. We will play another handsome boy for several months. When we have had enough fun, we will sell him to Thailand as a ladyboy."

The bald fat man was knocked down and beaten by Li Changsheng in front of his friends. He felt that his dignity had been seriously hurt. The world is like this. The more talented and moral people are, the more they protect their dignity.

But the sunglasses man did not appreciate him after listening to his words: "Hmm? When is it your turn to be the master here?" The sunglasses man frowned and looked ominous. The bald guy immediately stopped like a cicada in winter.
