MTL - In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages?-Chapter 35 south side news
Chapter 35 News from the South
Hong Guan glanced around.
The night wind blew, and the lantern on the pole swayed gently.
Not far away, there was a table of mountain hunters, sitting or standing, watching the fun. There were also young people holding a bowl of wine in their hands, looking at themselves with interest.
There was another pair of gentlemen and young ladies, paper fans spread out lightly, leaning against each other, and the wealthy daughter even hid in the arms of the husband next to her.
In addition, there are fishermen, laborers, craftsmen...
The complex and complicated things are just like ordinary living beings.
He turned around in a circle, and finally set his sights on the three-story pavilion where he had just jumped. This was where the martial arts masters gathered, and the person who had just stopped him was most likely here.
Hong Guan faced the pavilion in front of him and respectfully raised his hands and asked:
“I wonder who the expert is who just stopped me?”
“Exalted person?”
“What kind of expert?”
Seeing Hong Guan's sudden movement, the people around him were all confused. They also scanned the surroundings, but saw nothing.
“Did someone stop him just now? Is it a ghost? Why didn’t I see anything, but he suddenly stopped moving!”
At the wine table, the martial arts disciples who were talking loudly just now scratched their heads and looked around in surprise.
The people around him had the same reaction and said they saw no movement.
No one can give an answer at all.
Chen Lin held the wine and took another sip, quietly looking at the figure not far away with his back to him.
Seeing that Hong Guan over there didn't get a response for a long time, the evil aura on his body naturally faded away, as if he was about to pull away.
Suddenly someone booed:
“What an expert!”
“I see that you are obviously looking for an excuse to borrow the donkey from the slope!”
“Yes, after all, we are brothers. How can we have such a cruel brother?”
The rumors spread like fire, and in just a few breaths, the whole place seemed to be talking about it. Some people who were watching the excitement and did not mind the matter were even booing.
Hong Guan, who had turned around, suddenly stood up again.
He turned around again and looked at his confused brother on the ground.
Finally he sighed:
“My younger brother is often impulsive. He is often aggressive and aggressive, and acts without considering the consequences. If he continues, he will definitely get into trouble.”
"I killed him this time, not to harm him, but to save his life in the future..."
“Look to those who are superior and have a clear understanding!”
Hong Guan’s words were sonorous and powerful, like thunder, echoing around the lantern festival and reaching far away on the painting boat cruise in Lumeng Daze at night.
Still no response.
But Hong Guan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, he kicked up a chair next to him with his toes, and punched it into pieces!
Snapped!
The two largest fragments hit my younger brother's right hand accurately, directly breaking the wrist and elbow bone in one fell swoop!
Hong Bing groaned, his eyes seemed to be filled with blood, and he cursed a beast again.
The comments of the people around him suddenly stopped.
It was as if hundreds of ducks were all pinched by the neck...
Hong Guan walked slowly out of the street. Everyone made way for him and watched his back go away until he disappeared.
Phew!
There was a burst of exhalation in the field.
“How cruel!”
“I thought he would let his brother go!”
Uncle Xiang next to him picked up the wine bowl and also took a sip into his mouth.
The martial arts disciples around him also sighed:
“Yes, yes, these spectators are causing harm to people!”
“However, I think what Hong Guan said is true. Could it be that someone really stopped him just now?”
"impossible!"
“No one came close to Hong Guan just now. Could it be that the gods cast spells from afar to immobilize him?”
There was a lot of discussion.
Chen Lin didn't expect this outcome. He shook his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
He has already tested the results. The current spell is indeed effective for advanced martial artists, but the opponent obviously also has countermeasures.
“After all, it’s just an introductory spell.”
“It’s time to learn formal spells next time I go back to the world of immortality…”
After what happened just now, the atmosphere of the lantern festival has dissipated a lot, especially after seeing the blood. Some people felt it was unlucky and gradually left early.
The excitement is full, and the footprints go out of the lantern fair one by one, gather into a huge flow, and go towards the houses in the city.
It happened to be snowing lightly in the sky.
At the wine table, everyone clinked their bowls together and stood up to leave.
As soon as Dan walked to the pier, he saw a cargo ship docking.
The boatman above did not bother to move the goods, so he hurried down and found his acquaintance to tell him some news. “What happened?”
Chen Lin felt a little strange and wanted to lean over and listen.
But it was no longer needed, because the news came all at once.
“The battle in the south was lost!”
“One hundred thousand imperial troops were trapped and killed by the rebels!”
“Three thousand military levyers died of exhaustion in battle!”
Someone raised his hands and shouted loudly in the snow.
Everyone who heard it froze in place.
After the silence, there were voices asking for authenticity. The front and back of the pier were quickly crowded with anxious people. It seemed to be a hundred times more noisy than the lantern festival just now.
There were people from afar who heard the news and continued to come.
Chen Lin and Uncle Xiang stood on the same spot, like two sea-fixing needles in the wave.
“Well, the price of food will rise tomorrow.”
“Alin, take advantage of this time to stock up on more rice.”
Uncle Xiang swept the snowflakes off his head and sighed.
Chen Lin nodded. He was not as nervous as others.
If you lose, just lose.
With his current ability, he will not have to worry about his livelihood.
A month has passed.
He is no longer the woodcutter who could only chop wood on the mountain.
Leave Xicheng in the wind and snow.
Every house along the way lit up lamps, and various sorrowful voices could be heard from them, as they anxiously counted their property and food.
The sound of clanging copper plates, the rustle of rice vats being turned, and the sighs of people walking around the house...
In addition to the people in the county, the people who participated in the lantern festival also included some mountain people living outside the city.
Everybody formed long and short teams, walking together in the dark night.
Chen Lin stayed behind a team, changing directions several times along the way, and fewer and fewer people were traveling with him.
Until I was alone, the small village where I lived arrived.
In the dark night, it was still snowing lightly.
The small village should be silent in normal times.
Today it is different.
Chen Lin walked towards his home. When he passed by his aunt's house, there was a light on and he heard Little Carrot's excited laughter.
At the same time, there was a man’s hearty laughter.
He reacted immediately.
This is my aunt's husband, Uncle Ping, he has finally come home.
“It’s time to come back, otherwise you’ll be worried to death.”
There is no choice to bother.
Chen Lin smiled, opened the door of his home and was about to go in.
The door next to him suddenly opened.
“Alin, you are back!”
The aunt who came out to pour water said in surprise.
Chen Lin waved and said: "Yes, Uncle Ping is back too?"
“Yes, your uncle Ping just arrived not long ago, and everything is safe at last.” The worry in the aunt’s brows has dissipated, and the whole person seems to have lost dozens of kilograms.
“Alin is finally back?”
“Alin, I’m coming back late today, so I’ll come home for dinner and drinks tomorrow!”
The sound arrives first before the person arrives.
Uncle Ping walked out of the house barefoot. He was a big man with dark skin and a messy beard. He was smiling, showing two rows of yellow teeth.
“Brother Lin!”
Even the radishes popped out, and I held a candied haws in my hand and licked it happily.
“Okay,” Chen Lin nodded and smiled, “I’ll go over there tomorrow after I finish my work, and we’ll catch up on old times then.”
