Winter in Fangcheng is always very cold. After all, it is located in the westernmost part of the Hongyi Empire. Apart from the two large rivers, all other details do not exceed double digits.
Not everyone in this world is lucky enough to be exposed to spiritual practice. They can only look up to powerful warriors throughout their lives. They are just mortals.
The Tianwu Continent is vast, and there are seven empires, each occupying an endless territory. The Hongyi Empire is one of them, and its territory is endless. Even a warrior who can walk thousands of miles in a day would take several years to complete a circle.
for a long time.
In this endless territory, there are billions of human beings living, and warriors will always be only a very small part of them, and the vast majority are mortals.
Mortals have a mortal life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. They rotate with the years, adding or subtracting clothes on their bodies between the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
In the eyes of warriors, mortals are just ants, ants with short lives.
Here is a place called Xiyan Village. It is located dozens of miles away from Fangcheng and has only a few hundred households. Although it looks very big and prosperous, it seems so small on this endless continent.
Worth mentioning.
There is a group of mortals living in Xiyan Village. They have no contact with cultivation and have lived here for generations. Unless some powerful warriors come here and accept some disciples, they will never leave here in their lifetime.
"Bang!"
"Where is the old man? Come out quickly, I'm here to expropriate your restaurant today."
In Xiyan Village, outside a restaurant that once had a good business, there were more than a dozen strong men holding sticks and shouting. One of them stepped forward and kicked over the shaky door of the restaurant.
"You damn old man, get out of here quickly. The higher-ups have announced that your shabby restaurant must be confiscated today!"
"That's right, if you are sensible, just pack your things and get out of here. Don't be embarrassed and conspicuous here."
A group of strong men started shouting one after another. They looked quite powerful and could not be offended by ordinary people.
The owner of the restaurant is an old man over eighty years old. He looks very rickety. Among mortals, at such an age, he is already considered a longevity star.
"The family fortune accumulated over three generations will finally be ruined in my hands..." He sighed heavily, containing too many emotions. His hair was gray, his old eyes were cloudy, and his expression revealed deep helplessness.
Tired and staggering, I walked outside the store.
"Grandpa, don't go. They are bad people. Even if the restaurant is expropriated, they will still make things difficult for us." A child of five or six years old grabbed the old man's tattered sleeve and held it tightly. His childish voice echoed.
In the empty hall.
This is a pretty child with a childish voice, a very cute voice, a rosy face, and a very beautiful look. If it weren't for the boy's clothes, people would almost think that she is a little girl.
At this time, the little boy tried his best to grab the old man's sleeve tightly, bit his lip, his big eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
"Hey, the Xi family is really pitiful. They offended the landlord Zhu Da in the village and have never had a peaceful life since then..."
"Who says it's not the case? Zhu Da is rich and powerful. I heard that he is brother-in-law with a strong man in Fangcheng. Now it's good that he is getting more and more arrogant."
The people watching outside the restaurant were all talking in low voices, their voices were very low, and they were obviously too angry to speak out.
"Tongtong, don't cry. Grandpa will be fine. He will be back soon. Tongtong goes back to his room first." Inside the restaurant, the old man comforted the child and persuaded him to go back to his room.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
In this short period of time, more than a dozen big men outside rushed in impatiently and smashed them, smashing many tables in the restaurant.
"Hey..." The old man sighed, feeling heartbroken. All the things he had accumulated throughout his life were smashed. However, in the face of these powerful men, he did not dare to say anything. Even after breaking his teeth, he could only
Can be swallowed into the stomach.
"You old man, can't you hear your ears? You are still old and useless. Didn't I say three months ago that you are not allowed to open for business?" A big man slammed the table and yelled at the old man.
The old man sighed in his heart, stepped forward bravely, forced out a smile, and said: "Aren't you trying to make some money? This is the job of my grandfather and grandson. If it is gone, we will all have to freeze and starve..."
"How much money can you make? Don't you listen to what Mr. Zhu says? Do you want to challenge Mr. Zhu's majesty?" The big man yelled with a fierce look, and a dozen people behind him also rushed in and stared at him.
Eye.
The big man in the lead glanced at the restaurant, and suddenly saw a young man sitting in the corner of the restaurant, drinking alone, smiling and calmly looking over here.
The owner of the restaurant observed the words, felt a little in his heart, and suddenly became nervous. He grabbed the big man and said with a kind face: "Sir, don't be excited, don't be excited. Everything is my fault in Saigon. I shouldn't have allowed guests to come in to drink. I will let you go."
He leaves."
"No need, let's do it ourselves." The big man pushed the old man to the ground, stood up and walked towards the young man in the corner.
Saigon is already eighty years old, and his old bones can withstand several twists and turns. This fall was not light, and he couldn't stand up for a while, but he still shouted: "Sir, please don't embarrass me.
Little brother, I can't apologize to you, I can't apologize. All the faults are on the little old man, and the little brother is innocent."
"Shut up! You old fool!" A big man gave Saigon a hard kick, almost killing the eighty-year-old man.
Saigon only felt a fishy smell in his head and almost fainted.
"Boy, whose child are you? How dare you patronize this old restaurant? Don't you take Zhu Zhu's words seriously?" The big man in the lead started to drink violently and kept talking about Zhu Zhu's eight sentences.
, as if people didn’t know that he was Zhu Zhu’s lackey.
The young man is calm and composed, with a delicate face and a tough face. His long black hair is casually draped over his broad shoulders, making him look wild and unruly. He looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his eyes have a depth that is difficult for ordinary people to have.
, as if there are stars twinkling in it.
He is Qin Chu!
Faced with the big man's scolding, Qin Chu was not angry, he just lifted the wine jar, poured a large bowl full of it, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "This is good wine, it is fragrant and mellow, will you drink it?
"
A month has passed since the Fangcheng Competition. Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Rou left, and Qin Chu was homeless. He could not return to Tuoyan Town because there was Yanwu Academy there. There was Li Shuo.
, with the existence of people like Grandma Heifeng, it is difficult to be sure whether the Great Elder can keep him safe. As for Fangcheng, although Zi Xi and the ancestors of the Zi family repeatedly invited him to stay for a short period of time, Qin Chu still refused. He thought,
It's time to go out and travel.
Xiyan Village was the first stop for Qin Chu. It was full of mortals, extremely noisy, and full of the atmosphere of the world.
Although Qin and Chu were born in two generations, he has very little experience in dealing with people. He wants to travel around the world, learn, understand, and find the path that suits him and where to start.
He was carefully considering the way forward when he was suddenly disturbed by the noise. He saw these domineering and arrogant people bullying the old and the young, and he felt deeply in his heart.
The big man originally wanted to scare the young man in front of him with a vicious look, but he even brought up the rich man Zhu to show off his power. You must know that in the entire Xiyan Village, there are almost no people who are not afraid of rich man Zhu.
However, he did not expect that Qin Chu would not accept this trick at all, and actually ignored his threats and intimidation, and brought a wine bowl to invite him to drink. This made him feel shameless in front of his group of gangster friends, and was beaten by a
When a child is looked down upon, his prestige is even more damaged.
The big man was furious, slapped the bowl of wine away from Qin Chu's hand, and shouted: "Boy, are you looking for death?"
"What a good wine, tut tut tut. What a pity." Qin Chu continued to ignore the big man, looked at the direction in which the bowl of wine flew away, and shouted what a pity, tut tut.
The big man was ignored again, and he couldn't hold back his anger. He slapped Qin Chu with his big hand and shouted: "Huh, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. I will teach you what it means to be afraid on behalf of your parents!"
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of bone cracking sounded, and everyone onlookers felt pity.
"Hey, this kid must be from outside. He passed by here and offended someone who can't afford to offend him. It's really pitiful."
"Zhu's gang of thugs usually bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil. When will they be overthrown? God, please take away these evil villains quickly."
People were communicating in low voices, and many young people among them couldn't help but clenched their fists. They had all suffered more or less from Zhu Zhu's group of thugs. At this moment, they really wanted to step forward and beat up those thugs.
After a pause, I just thought of the strong man from Fangcheng who belonged to Zhu Zhu's family, and I suppressed my arrogance again.
However, the next scene overturned everyone's psychology, and they were stunned.
"ah!"
The strong man who took the lead was heard to cry out in pain. The veins on his forehead swelled, and his eyes were split and covered with bloodshot eyes. He looked at Qin Chu with horror in his eyes, completely losing the arrogance he had before.
"Discipline me well on behalf of my elders? Do you know who my elders are? Is it possible for a ruffian like you to blaspheme an existence that would shock the whole world when he stamps his feet?" Qin Chu's eyes were slightly cold, that one
Although strong, but compared to the strong man, the hands are not worth mentioning. They are like iron pliers, tightly clamping the strong man's wrist, as easy as pinching a chicken.
"How is it possible?" A group of strong men around him exclaimed, staring wide-eyed. They couldn't believe that Qin Chu, who in their eyes had thin arms and thin legs, could restrain their boss so easily.
During the days in the Tianzhu Mountains, Qin Chu was washed by Mr. Jiang with Yijincao every day, and he practiced with a black knife weighing a thousand kilograms every day. Moreover, his muscles were nourished by the Chaos Xuan Qi day and night, so that he was now alone.
In terms of strength, the black sword can be easily controlled. The weapon is almost comparable to the Barbarian Peng, but it's almost the same.
Facing these mortals who carry up to two hundred kilograms of weight, Qin Chu is simply a devil.
When everyone was shocked, Qin Chu tossed his hair coquettishly, waved to the restaurant owner, and said: "Boss, serve the wine!"
