Chapter 4: The Two Ghosts of Tangshan
More than a hundred miles away from Bu Renzong, there is a stone city with a radius of more than ten miles. There are thousands of people in the city, living and working in peace and contentment, and it is very lively.
But I heard that 20 years ago, there were bandits who burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil in this place, which made the city restless and hundreds of businesses withered.
Later, a pair of brothers appeared out of nowhere and called themselves the "Tangshan Two Ghosts". When they came out of the mountain, they used their strength at the peak of the Cave Condensation Realm to sweep through a group of bandits, killing them until they fell on their backs and threw away their helmets.
Only then did the town of Stone City usher in a year of stability.
But what is puzzling is that these "Tangshan Two Ghosts" never show their true colors to others. Even those who witnessed the battle only know that one is taller and the other is lower, one is fat and the other is thin...
Later, a spiritual stone vein was discovered in Machishi Castle, and it became famous for a while. A cultivator sect occupied this place to mine the vein. From then on, Machishi Castle had cultivators to maintain order and entered a prosperous era, and the "Tangshan Two Ghosts" also withdrew from people's consciousness.
sight.
It's late at this time, but the town of Ishiki City Market is still very lively. Street vendors, shops, restaurants, and brothels are all lively in their own way. The waiters are greeting the guests attentively, and the wrinkles on their faces are almost gone for a moment.
Never let up.
At this time, three people appeared at the intersection, two of them walked side by side, and one of them lay on the back of one of them, who looked like an iron tower.
It was Zhang Wu, Wang Liu and An Chen.
Originally, with Zhang Wuwangliu's foot power, it only took him half a stick of incense to reach this town, Shicheng. However, An Chen's body was weak, and after walking for less than half an hour, he was sweating profusely and exhausted.
Wang Liu knew that he had neglected An Chen's physique, and he blamed himself, so he carried An Chen on his back. He did not dare to use his cultivation skills along the way, and moved forward cautiously, for fear of hurting his junior brother.
This trip took three sticks of incense.
By the time they arrived at Machishi City, fine beads of sweat were already appearing on Wang Liu's forehead. Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Fat man, your body is quite weak. I have never seen you so tired before when you beat ten with one."
Wang Liu freed up a hand to wipe his forehead, and spat: "Bah! Who are you talking about, Fifth Brother? I'm very good! It's just that my junior brother's little arms and legs are broken, and I'm afraid that he will break them."
"
At this moment, a yawn sounded into the ears of the two of them.
Ha~~~
Zhang Wu looked up and saw An Chen stretching his waist with sleepy and lazy eyes.
But when An Chen saw the bustling streets, all his tiredness was wiped away. Then he twisted his body, and Wang Liu immediately put him down.
Wang Liu smiled and said: "Junior brother, let's go to the tailor shop to make you some clothes that fit you, and then find a restaurant to have a good meal."
However, An Chen shook his head, pointed to a stall selling candied haws on the street and said, "Senior brother, I want to eat... I want to eat!"
Wang Liu looked in the direction of An Chen's finger and said with a smile: "Junior brother, don't worry, I will buy it for you right now."
Wang Liu stretched out his hand to grab An Chen's waist, and then with a shake of his arm, An Chen was lifted ten feet off the ground in an instant. Before An Chen could cry out, he landed firmly on Wang Liu's shoulder.
The three of them came to the stall together, but the stall was busy at this time, and when it was their turn, there was only a bunch of candied haws left to sell.
An Chen looked at the gourd in front of him, his eyes bent like moons. Wang Liu winked at Zhang Wu, who then paid two copper coins to take away the last bunch.
Unexpectedly, in an instant, a slender hand poked out from nowhere and picked the bunch of candied haws in an understatement.
By the time they came to their senses, the stall was already empty.
Zhang, Wu, Wang and Liu looked at each other and saw a dignified look in each other's eyes. After all, it was not easy to take away their favorite things from them.
However, they paid first and took advantage of it. Based on the principle that I will not offend others if they don't offend me, but I will offend others if they offend me, they both turned around at the same time.
However, before they could start "greeting" each other, a graceful woman in white clothes, holding a thin sword and wearing a curtain on her head, took out a piece of silver from her waist.
Her voice was a bit colder than the weather in late autumn: "My disciple is greedy, so I hope you guys can forgive me." As she said that, she gave the candied haws in her hand to a girl in the same dress next to her.
She added: "This ingot of silver will be considered as compensation for the three of you." After saying that, she flicked her fingers, and the ingot of silver shot out, but it fell into An Chen's hand as light as a feather.
Wang Liu and Zhang Wu frowned slightly. Zhang Wu wanted to ask for an explanation, but Wang Liu stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Wu.
Seeing that the three of them were speechless, the woman in white took the girl and left.
Zhang Wu joked: "I didn't expect you, fat man, to still have compassion for her."
Wang Liudao: "This woman is not simple. Now we are taking our junior brother with us. If something happens to him, how can we explain it to my master and my wife?"
Zhang Wu yawned and said, "Okay, I thought I could have a good fight today to relax my muscles and bones."
Wang Liu smiled noncommittally.
As for the two women in white who had just left, the girl pursed her lips and said: "Master, you are the leader of the sword and your status is extremely respected. Why should you be polite to these mud-legged people?"
The woman in white said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't cause trouble when you go out. What's more, the fat and the skinny two are by no means simple. If they join forces, even if they fight for the master, the outcome may only be between 50 and 50."
After hearing this, the girl's eyes showed a look of surprise. She knew how powerful her master was, and there were only a few people in this great dynasty who could be evaluated like this by her.
However, she was still unconvinced. She chewed up the candy in her mouth, held up the candied haws with half an inch of bamboo tip exposed, and said, "Then they are two fighting one. It's not fair. After all, Master, you are better than them."
The woman in white shook her head and said nothing. This girl's temperament has always been like this. As a master, she can only guide and cannot force her. In the final analysis, she will suffer a lot of losses on this path of cultivation. How far she can go depends on herself.
good fortune.
After this little episode, An Chen and the other three went to a tailor shop, bought fabrics, and made some clothes that fit them.
As the saying goes, people need clothes, Buddha needs gold. When An Chen changed his clothes, Zhang and Wang couldn't help but sigh, this little junior brother is actually very handsome and handsome.
It's a pity that his eyes are still dull, otherwise he must be a ruthless character who attracts bees and butterflies.
The three of them left the tailor shop together, planning to go to a restaurant to have a meal before returning to Burenzong.
But as soon as they left the store, they encountered a group of carriages and horses passing by the three of them. The goods pulled by the carriages were packed in black iron boxes with complicated patterns engraved on the surface.
The guards on the car were wearing black chainmail, holding spears and swords, and were standing ready. Two of them even had cultivation levels in the middle stage of the Cave Condensation Realm.
At the front of the carriage, there is a banner with a large golden "talisman" embroidered on it.
Zhang Wu sent a message to Wang Liu and said: "Fat man, this is the Fushan Sect's convoy. Looking at the inscription engraved on this iron box, it should be the Spirit Sealing Formation."
Wang Liu lowered his head and pondered for a while and said, "I wonder what kind of medicine is sold in this Fushan Sect's gourd. Is it transporting some treasure?"
"Baby?" When Zhang Wu heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "This town of Shicheng is located in a remote place. What good treasures can there be?"
Wang Liu spread his hands and shrugged.
But the crowd watching the excitement started talking in all directions.
"Have you heard? The Fushan Sect dug out a thousand-year-old stone milk marrow from the spiritual mine. It is a good treasure to help cultivators polish their acupoints!"
"No, I heard that three aristocratic families in this town, Shicheng, have already set their sights on this treasure."
"What's the use of targeting? Fushan Sect is a dominant force in this town of Shicheng. How dare they have such thoughts!"
"Hahaha~" one person laughed and said: "You don't know something now. Among the three great families, the youngest son of the Wu family is extremely talented. He has reached the peak of the acupoint condensation realm and is only one step away from the body refining realm.
Feet, with such qualifications, he can be said to be the number one among the younger generation in this town of Stone City!"
"Yes, yes! My uncle works as a handyman at the outer gate of Fushan Sect. He told me that the Wu family's youngest son has been spotted by Elder Ouyang, the second head of Fushan Sect!"
"That's right! That's amazing! It seems that the Wu family is going to soar into the sky!"
"That's not the case! This time Fushan Sect has set a stage in Fengyu Tower. As long as they are no more than twenty years old, they can compete for the thousand-year stone milk marrow. Firstly, they can show their majesty and majesty, and secondly... I'm afraid...
I also have the idea of establishing prestige for the youngest son of the Wu family!"
"Tsk, tsk, it's really a good trick. No wonder the Wu family has risen strongly in the past two years. It seems that this town of Stone City is going to change again."
Hearing everyone's chatter, Zhang Wu and Wang Liu looked at each other.
Millennium stone milk marrow?
Although with their current level of cultivation, treasures of this level are just a drop in the bucket, but the new junior brother can actually make use of them.
Zhang Wudao: "Fat man, you said that we are not benevolent when our junior brother comes, and the senior brother does not receive a greeting gift. Is that appropriate?"
Wang Liuyi said sternly: "Inappropriate!"
Zhang Wu smiled and said: "Then do you think we look like twenty-year-olds?"
Wang Liu was stunned for a moment, then he frowned slightly and said seriously: "Lao Wu, be more confident, don't look alike, we are still twenty years old!"
Chapter completed!
