MTL - As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Chapter 33 Back to Ping'an Town
Chapter 33 Back to Ping An Town
In the deep mountains and old forests, the morning light is faint, and there are bursts of insects and birds singing from time to time.
All the men in Liehuzhuang were sleeping on their backs or lying down, many of them were wounded, and their clothes were ragged like beggars... Only a few energetic people walked around and patrolled the periphery, guarding against danger.
On a flat open space, Jiang Ming was practicing the cowhide and tiger bone art one move at a time, rubbing against the air and whistling, bursting out a surge of breath from time to time.
A few days ago, Fang Lie had completely sensed his blood energy, and one morning after entering the mountain, Jiang Ming happened to "progress" while practicing boxing, and began to sense his blood energy from time to time...
"You're not messed up at all..." Guan Feng walked up to Jiang Ming with a big bow on his back, and said with a faint smile.
Jiang Ming stood up with his fists closed, and looked around: "I've been wandering in the mountains and forests, maybe I've gotten used to it... Besides, the more chaotic the worse, the only way to face danger better is to practice boxing and become stronger."
"It's just that I never knew... the depths of Yunmeng Mountain are so dangerous."
As he spoke, Jiang Ming also looked cautious. When he was a herb picker before, his range of activities had never been so deep, and the beasts he encountered were all within his range, but this mountain forest is completely different...
It has been five days since Guan Feng brought their newcomers into the mountain. The confidence of everyone who was originally full of confidence has been greatly damaged in the past few days.
The further you go deep into the forest, the more terrifying the beasts you encounter.
On the first day, they happily killed a few roe deer and wild deer. On the second day, they were attacked by wolves, and Zhao Xiaoliu and several newcomers were injured.
Yesterday, a black bear with rough skin and thick flesh rushed into the crowd and shot the two newcomers to death. In the end, Guan Feng shot the black bear with an arrow nailed in the heart, and killed it.
"No one knows how big Yunmeng Mountain Ze is, and even the owner of the villa may not have gone to the end!" Guan Feng sighed after hearing the words:
"The beasts in this mountain are even more ferocious. It is not difficult for some beasts that have devoured exotic flowers and plants to kill a warrior...Of course, it is precisely because of this that I went to the mountain to make a living, otherwise how can I kill ordinary beasts? It can feed hundreds of people."
Jiang Ming's heart moved, and he remembered this mountain forest... It's not easy to make wild beasts mutate, maybe there is some supernatural power, maybe it has something to do with cultivating immortals...
When I become stronger in the future, I might want to explore it.
Guan Feng suddenly said: "Would you like to settle in my Liehu Village?"
Jiang Ming was taken aback, whether they were newcomers or old people who had been in the village for decades, they could only be regarded as working for Liehuzhuang.
The so-called settlement means becoming a real member of Liehuzhuang, the owner of Liehuzhuang, with rights and resources that are completely different from those of Jiang Ming and other migrant workers...
But it is not easy to settle in Liehuzhuang, at least you have to be like Peng Lu and become a third-rate warrior.
But today's Jiang Ming...can only show blood energy. Does Guan Feng see his true strength?
Jiang Ming shook his head secretly, probably not, unless the martial artist arouses his own blood, it is difficult for a first-rate martial artist to see the details of others.
However, Jiang Ming spent a month with the people in Liehuzhuang, and knew that they were a group of men who seemed to be rough but were emotional. Guan Feng treated him well, so he didn't want to lie.
With this in mind, Jiang Ming raised his head and said calmly:
"I don't want to deceive Headhunter Guan, but I came to Liehuzhuang for only one purpose, that is to learn martial arts and become stronger... When I was in Liehuzhuang, I will naturally do my best to do what I should do, and I will not be lazy, but my The ambition is not in Liehuzhuang, nor in this mountain forest."
"Whether it's a herb picker or a martial arts apprentice...it doesn't make any difference to me, it's just an experience on my growth path..."
Jiang Ming seems like a frivolous young man, but this is indeed his true thinking. For him, how can Liehu Manor pretend to be his long life... It's just that these are not for outsiders.
This is tantamount to rejecting... Guan Feng also said in amazement: "Do you know how many scalps those old people in the village can squeeze for a quota of settlement?"
"The rivers and lakes in this world are not as romantic as you think. Going out with your strength is just a dead end. How can you join Liehuzhuang to be safe..."
Jiang Ming said with a free and easy smile, "Headhunter Guan taught me on the first day that the tiger's momentum should be indomitable. Why do you talk about the word stability now?"
"Did I stay in the village for a long time, and the tiger's momentum has been smoothed..."
Guan Feng was stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, he is indeed the young man I admire, who is stunned and crazy! Don't worry, learn martial arts in Zhuangzi, as long as it is something I know, I can teach you!"
"If you get rich one day and encounter difficulties in Liehuzhuang, don't forget to give it a shot..." Guan Feng joked again.
Jiang Ming nodded seriously: "Definitely!"
Many newcomers have been exhausted for the past few days, and they were sleeping drowsily. At this time, they were awakened by Guan Feng's loud voice, and they were about to curse... After seeing who it was, they all shut up.
Shusha~
Peng Lu came with a few people and said in a deep voice:
"Boss... the tiger powder is ready!"
"Okay, this trial is over!" Guan Feng grinned and said:
"You take these rookies and carry the harvested prey to Ping'an Town. There will be someone there to meet you. If anyone wants to leave after returning to Zhuangzi, you will be sent away with a hundred copper coins... The rest will continue to follow me, crouching tigers."
"We can finally go down the mountain?" Zhao Xiaoliu held his injured arm, his voice almost crying.
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and a few people even had frightened eyes, and never wanted to go into the mountain again.
Guan Feng saw all these people in his eyes, shook his head in disdain, turned his head and walked deeper into the forest...
Peng Lu commanded these newcomers to pick up prey such as roe deer and hares. With a soft drink, he directly carried the black bear, which was as tall as two people, on his back, and walked down the mountain with flying steps.
"As expected of a third-rate warrior..." Fang Lie carried a bunch of pheasants and a wild deer on his shoulders, enviously said: "I don't know when I will be able to smelt blood energy and become a warrior."
Jiang Ming dragged a wild boar and asked curiously, "When did Zhuangzi have a stronghold in Ping'an Town?"
Fang Lie scratched his head and said: "I heard that all the major forces in the city are building large-scale construction projects in Ping'an Town to build branches, and Zhuangzi should also participate..."
Jiang Ming nodded, thinking of A Fei and Lao Jiangtou and others, it would be good to go back and have a look...
Ping An Town.
The familiar petty officials are still at the entrance of the town, collecting protection fees from every herb picker who returns to the town.
However, when he saw Peng Lu who was walking like flying with a black bear on his back, and then saw a group of big men behind him, the arrogant expression on his face instantly switched to flattery and humility:
"It's the heroes of Liehuzhuang. This way please, please this way. Guizhuang's stronghold is in the best place in the center of the town..."
Although he is regarded as a member of the government, a petty official without rank is nothing compared to a martial artist from Liehuzhuang, a first-class force.
When Jiang Ming walked past him and exchanged glances with him, the little official froze for a moment, and panic flashed in his eyes.
"Long time no see..." Jiang Ming smiled.
The little official showed a smile uglier than crying: "Brother Ming, it turns out that you joined Liehu Manor. You were offended when you were a small person before. Please, sir, have a lot..."
As he spoke, he quickly took out a large string of copper plates from his pocket, intending to hand them to Jiang Ming.
"Keep the flowers for yourself..." Jiang Ming shook his head and left.
The person who used to ride on his head and domineeringly bows to him now, and it is meaningless to go to the same level with this kind of person...
