Shortly after entering the county town of Huai County, Xiao Lin felt something was wrong. Along the way, he saw a lot of Jianghu people. These people carried knives and swords on their backs, and their faces were full of evil spirits. What surprised Xiao Lin was that
, these people have different costumes, and at first glance they are not disciples of Bailian Hall.
For a long time, there have been two large-scale gangs in Huai County, namely Bailiantang and Zhudaomen. The main business of Bailiantang and Zhudaomen is to forge weapons. Of course, they also take into account the
In Huai County's waterway terminals, mines, freight and other businesses, due to conflicts in their main businesses, the two major forces often clashed, and small-scale street fights were common.
But after all, Huai County is still the territory of the Yuxi Kingdom, and it is still dominated by the government and the army. Although the two gangs often clash, in order not to attract the attention of the government and the army, the scale of the armed fights has always been controlled within a few dozen people.
On the one hand, both Bailiantang and Zhudaomen are not very different in strength. One side is not sure that it can swallow the other, so it will not use all its strength. Otherwise, if both sides suffer, external forces will take advantage of the situation.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
It is precisely because of this that Huai County has been relatively stable for a long time. Bailiantang and Zhudaomen have also maintained a superficial harmony. Even if there are occasional stabbings, hindrances, saplings, etc., they are all done secretly.
, will not be brought to light.
Now, looking at the crowds of Jianghu people on the street, Xiao Lin smelled that a storm was coming, which made him worried about his father and little sister, and did not know whether they were now
Still in the county seat of Huai County.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but quicken his pace. Soon, he came to a restaurant called Yuelaixi. This restaurant was two stories high. Through the open door, he could see that it was full of guests, and the noise continued.
Everyone on the street could hear it clearly. Xiao Lin smiled casually. In the past few years, he had been practicing in the Tianlu Mountains. He had never had a good meal. He had not entered the foundation building period. Xiao Lin was just like ordinary mortals.
Likewise, he needed to eat and drink. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin walked into the restaurant.
"Sir, what would you like to eat? Our restaurant's Xiao Dao Liquor is famous within a hundred miles of Huai County, and it also has excellent wine dishes such as beef in soy sauce and beggar's chicken, which are the specialties of our restaurant.
.”
As soon as he sat down, a store clerk came over. Before Xiao Lin could speak, he started to praise the characteristics of his restaurant. After Xiao Lin listened patiently, he smiled and said: "Then
Just give me some of the specialties of your restaurant."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I have a pot of wine, half a beggar's chicken, and two pounds of soy sauce beef." The waiter shouted, poured Xiao Lin a cup of tea, and left.
Xiao Lin took a sip of tea. Although the tea had a touch of worldliness, it also had a different taste. However, Xiao Lin had no intention of tasting the tea at the moment, but glanced at the surrounding passengers.
There are about fifty or sixty tables in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, and at least fifty of them are already full of people, and at least half of these people are Jianghu people who carry knives and swords.
An obvious mark is a lifelike peony pinned to her shoulder.
"As expected, these people are not from Bailiantang and Zhudaomen, and they are unlikely to be people from the Jianghu they invited. It seems that there are really foreign forces coming in this county town of Huai County." Xiao Lin thought to himself,
His face was very calm, and he was sipping tea leisurely.
After a while, the food and wine were served, and Xiao Lin started to eat. After years of eating dried bacon, Xiao Lin had long been tired of it. Now he finally tasted the delicacies of the world. His index finger moved and he shouted unceremoniously.
Start eating.
"Heizi, you said that this time the Immortal Immortal came out in person to confront Shangguan Hong, the master of the Bailian Hall. Although Shangguan Hong claims to have practiced the Bailian Heart Sutra to the tenth level, he is at most on the same level as the master of the Sword Forging Sect.
They are all masters at the top of the acquired world, but Gongsun Han, the master of the Blade-casting Sect, was defeated at the hands of the Immortal Immortal two years ago. I think Shangguan Hong's fate will not be much better than Gongsun Han's."
"That's natural. This time we received Baihuamen's token of immortality, inviting us to help. As long as Shangguanhong is defeated, Bailiantang's power in Huai County will be wiped out in one fell swoop. By then, the entire Huai County will belong to Baihuamen.
, and we vassal sects can also get a share of the pie, so everyone is happy." A black-faced man named Heizi said loudly.
"Baihua Gate?" Xiao Lin frowned slightly and entered the restaurant. Xiao Lin originally wanted to find out the news about Bailian Gate. Sure enough, the balance between the two major forces in Huai County was broken, and looking at this
The posture was broken by a powerful external force. The master of the Forging Sword Sect was actually defeated by the immortal immortal of Baihua Sect. When he heard the word immortal, Xiao Lin almost laughed.
When did ordinary mortals dare to call themselves gods and immortals? Even cultivators like him did not dare to call themselves "immortals" but only regarded themselves as cultivators. After all, immortal is an extremely sacred word for cultivators.
, is the supreme existence, representing immortality and the eternal existence of the road.
However, Xiao Lin is somewhat interested in this immortal immortal. If he can claim to be immortal, he doesn't know whether he is really immortal or just bragging.
The battle between the immortal Immortal Fu Lao and the master of Bailian Hall has obviously not started yet, so Xiao Shi should be fine now. As long as Xiao Shi is fine, his father and little sister will be safe.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin was not very anxious, but carefully tasted the Xiaodao wine in front of him. This Xiaodao wine was spicy in the mouth, but after the spiciness, a mellow aroma surged out. It really had some skills, which made Xiao Lin endure it.
I couldn't help but drink two more drinks.
"The Immortal Immortal is fighting against Shangguan Hong, the master of Bailian Hall? When did you become an old man? The current top master of Bailian Sect is not Shangguan Hong, but a newly debuted young master. I heard that his Hundred Refiners
The Heart Sutra has been cultivated to the eleventh level, and apart from our Nanke Yijian Liu Changsheng from Nanzhou, he is the only super master who can fight against the immortal immortals."
"Nan Changsheng and North Bu Lao are the two top masters who are known as immortals. Liu Changsheng has been obsessed with swords all his life and has never paid attention to the affairs of the world. Therefore, after so many years of operation, Baihuamen has basically cleared away several people in Nanzhou.
There is a big gang, but now, the only one left is Bailiantang."
"The Immortal Immortal's martial arts skills are unparalleled. It is rumored that although she is sixty or seventy years old, she still looks like a young girl in her twenties. Her mysterious skills are unpredictable. Now the Bailian Sect has sent an unknown young man. See
There is no suspense in this duel."
"It is estimated that Shangguan Hong knew that he was no match for the Immortal Immortal, so he found a disciple from the gang to take his place. Unfortunately, unless Shangguan Hong agreed to disband the Bailian Hall and join the Baihua Sect, he would still be unable to escape death. The Sword-casting Sect
That’s a good example.”
"Hehe, for us anyway, it is a hundred benefits without any harm. If Shangguanhong is defeated, we can take advantage of this to take over part of Bailiantang's territory in Huai County, pick up the opportunities and strengthen our own strength, and withdraw 10,000 yuan.
To put it bluntly, even if the Immortal Immortal loses to Shangguan Hong, the worst we can do is leave Huai County and have nothing to lose. We will just come to watch the duel between the top masters of the two major forces in Nanzhou."
While Xiao Lin was drinking, he heard these charlatans bragging while drinking. It didn't take long for him to get a feel for the changes that were taking place in Huai County. From the conversations of these charlatans, he learned a hundred things.
The duel between Liantang and Baihuamen is scheduled for tomorrow at noon, on the Duantian Cliff of Funiu Mountain in the west of Huai County.
Xiao Lin, who was still thinking about whether to find Xiao Shi first, immediately gave up the idea. Since the decisive battle between the two sides was tomorrow, he was not in a hurry to see Xiao Shi, but planned to join in the fun and take a look at the world.
How exciting the showdown between the top players is.
And with him here, as long as the Immortal Immortal is not a cultivator, he will not pose any threat to himself. Xiao Lin also feels a little lucky. If he had come a few days later, I am afraid he would really have missed this wonderful battle. He
From the conversations of several Jianghu guests, I also learned that the top master of Bailian Hall today is not the hall master Shangguan Hong, but a young rising star. Although Xiao Lin thinks of Xiao Shi, he still has some doubts.
It had only been four or five years since Xiao Shi separated. Could it be said that in just four or five years, Xiao Shi had cultivated the Hundred Refining Heart Sutra to the eleventh level? This speed is too astonishing.
But no matter what, Xiao Lin has to go take a look. He doesn't care who wins or loses between Baihuamen and Bailiantang. He doesn't care whether it's the Immortal Immortal or Shangguan Hong, life or death, and since Xiao Shi is Baihuamen
As a refining disciple, he had to go take a look. If the new young master was really Xiao Shi, if he lost to the so-called immortal immortal, he would have no choice but to take action once.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin waved his hand to the waiter, asked him to arrange a room, and threw him a piece of silver worth ten taels. This made the waiter almost smile crookedly, and he looked for Xiao Lin for it.
He had the best room in the house. If Xiao Lin hadn't asked him to leave, I'm afraid he would have still wanted to listen to Xiao Lin's orders.
After the guy left, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out a spirit-accumulating pill, drank it, and began to practice the Dry Water Sutra. Now Xiao Lin has practiced the Withered Water Sutra to the sixth level, and when Xiao Lin senses it,
, he was not far from the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining, so he devoted at least four hours to practicing every day, and he was also thinking about finding ways to find Bing as soon as the matter in Huai County was over.
Yincao, in order to refine the improved version of the Spirit-accumulating Pill, so as to break through the bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi refining, and then step into the seventh level of Qi refining.
Soon, Xiao Lin entered a state of cultivation and ignored what was happening in the outside world.
