Chapter 36: Inner City, review (please follow up)
Inner city.
Black Snake Boxing Gym, Chuanwu Hall.
The candle flickers on and off.
The charcoal stove gave off bursts of warmth. The half-opened window let in the sound of wind, and little snowflakes flew in in circles. After a while, a small flake had accumulated on the ground.
There were only two people in the house.
One of the old men had gray hair, wrinkles on his face intertwined with dead trees, and his eyes were cloudy. He sat quietly on a chair and covered his knees with a white tiger's skin.
The other person was Hong Guan, who had just made a big fuss at the lantern festival.
“So, you are saying that someone really locked your acupuncture points from the air just now?”
The old man picked up the hot ginseng soup next to him and took a sip. His brows couldn't help but knit together. He quickly picked up a candied fruit from the plate next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
This is when I became relaxed.
“Yes, Master!”
Hong Guan lowered his head, "I'm pretty sure that when I was about to destroy Hong Bing, a strange force locked me, making me unable to move for a moment."
"If...if it was a life and death battle, I'm afraid I would have died..."
“I can actually lock your acupuncture points by striking each other from afar, and you can’t even find them?”
"interesting."
The white-haired old man knocked on the table, suddenly looked up at his apprentice, and suddenly punched out!
Boom!
Invisible energy penetrated into Hong Guan's body with majestic force, as if he was struck by the long tail of a giant python, and he was instantly knocked out.
The old man's fist was extremely fast, almost invisible from the time it was released to the time it was withdrawn. Even his robe seemed to have never been moved.
Hong Guan could not see clearly at all and was beaten to the ground.
At this moment, the white-haired old man asked:
“Can you move now?”
"Uh-huh-"
Hong Guan struggled so hard that his face turned red and his blood vessels were bulging, but he couldn't move at all. He could only try to express what he meant with his tone of voice.
"I see, you mean you can't move." The white-haired old man nodded, "So, the one who just attacked you should be a Qi Jing."
“It’s just that he may have just entered the Qi realm, or he may be too far away from you, so he allowed you to break free easily...”
"Uh-huh-"
“Oh? Are you asking who this aura might be? Could it be from the city?”
“How do you know this as a teacher?”
“We have so many people in Kanazawa County, and we usually have people coming by boat from other places. Maybe they are experts from the other side of Daze?”
"Uh-huh-"
“You ask what this person is doing here?”
“I’m not a god, so how can I know so much?”
"Hong Guan, you talk a little too much today. I usually listen to people's words, talk less and read more, read more and learn more. There is still some truth in it."
"You young people have suffered too little, so you are so arrogant!"
The white-haired old man slapped the table and stood up angrily.
The bowl of hot ginseng soup made everyone jump!
How can you tell that his eyes were cloudy just now and he was not affected by the cold?
The white tiger skin was thrown on the chair by the old man.
Then he struck again casually, smashing the half-closed window from the air, letting all the cold wind and snow outside the house pour in, and walked away without looking back.
Only Hong Guan, who could not move, was left lying on the ground blowing the wind.
Er, only then did the sound come in:
“You young people, please bear more hardships and give me that bowl of ginseng soup later!”
“Remember, drink it while it’s hot!”
"Uh-huh-"
…
…
Small village.
Chen Lin opened his eyes and could hear some faint sounds coming from the room next door.
He dismissed distractions and reviewed today's events in his mind.
“Junior brother, don’t worry about that. It’s normal for a lot of people to die in the mountains. When spring comes, the bodies may not be found.”
“And no one saw me going into the mountains with him.”
“As for that Chen Xiangyuan…”
"The appearance of his death was normal. I didn't even leave any traces of blows on him, and there were no footprints..." Taking a step back, even if it was later discovered that he killed him.
Chen Lin will never regret his decision.
His grandma’s!
This kind of old yinbi should be slapped in the face and killed!
In the next few days, he will secretly observe Uncle Sheng's movements. If there is anything strange, he can't be blamed!
At worst, he would just kill someone and then run away.
Anyway, he has the magic spell technique of the immortal world. If he later learns a disguise technique or a disguise talisman, it will not be discovered by ordinary people in this world.
To sum it up, it’s—
Killing people is not a big deal.
“Compared to this, when I broke through before, my energy was depleted, as if my body was hollowed out. This issue must be taken seriously. Tall buildings built in the swamp will collapse sooner or later.”
“The sooner the foundation is laid, the less work it will take to repair it later.”
“I don’t know what species that strange beast in the ice cave is. It would be best if it could nourish the body.”
“I’ll have to read those few boxing manuals tomorrow. A strong martial artist can break free from the control of the spell, which shows that the martial arts in this world still have merit.”
“Martial arts, talismans, strange beasts…”
Close your eyes and dream.
When I woke up again, I heard Little Carrot screaming excitedly outside the house, and the little brat squealing louder than a crowing rooster.
The movement of mana in the body automatically dispels the coldness of getting up in the morning.
Chen Lin stretched his body comfortably.
Take the clay pot and go out to fill it with snow, come back and boil it, and then start washing.
Little Carrot is having a snowball fight with Uncle Ping outside the house.
The father and son were having a good time, while the aunt sat at the door and watched with a smile.
Chen Lin said hello to the happy family, and then went back to the house to cut up the few remaining red deer meat and prepare for breakfast.
“There’s not much meat left, so I’ll go to the Ice Cave and kill that strange beast today.”
“If you can eat meat, eat it.”
“If the meat cannot be eaten, take it and sell it.”
Chewing slices of grilled red deer meat in his mouth, and cooking two bowls of hot rice porridge beside him. A pound of polished rice cost fifteen cents. He bought ten kilograms of it before, and now he doesn't have much left in food.
Have to go and make up some more.
However, the news of the defeat in the south last night has been known to the whole city. It is estimated that the price of food will definitely rise again today...
Very quickly, full of food and drink.
Then draw the talisman as well.
Chen Lin put on his backpack and went out, quickly arriving at the mountain pass.
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Hunters have already started to "go to work" in the mountains.
Following a string of footprints, several figures from behind soon appeared in front.
It seems that we had a drink together at the lantern festival last night.
The other party also noticed him and stopped to wait.
“We plan to go into the mountains, and while there are few people around now, we can look for that ghost-tusked pig again. Maybe we can also win a spot for our child in the martial arts gym in the inner city!”
“I may have discovered a nest before, and I plan to go over and have a look now.”
The purpose of mutual communication between the two parties.
The other party thought that the nest mentioned by Chen Lin meant the snake's nest, and kindly reminded him that the winter snake might have already entered a state of deep sleep.
“Be careful not to get bitten!”
"good!"
The two sides said goodbye and then separated.
Chen Lin walked the mountain road all over again yesterday.
The further we walked, the stronger the evil wind became, and the snowflakes flew straight towards our faces.
Soon, the ice cave appeared in front of him again.
The body yesterday has disappeared.
I don’t know if it was buried under the snow...
