In the great world of martial arts, you use the Tao of Talisman to rule the ages

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, leaning against each other with their paper fans spread out slightly. The wealthy daughter even hid in the arms of her husband beside her.

In addition, there are fishermen, laborers, craftsmen...

There is so much complexity, but all 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?"

"Expert?"

"What master?"

Seeing Hong Guan's sudden movement, the people around him were all confused and looked around, 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.

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 shouted:

"What an expert!"

"I see that you are obviously looking for an excuse to borrow the donkey from 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 usually very aggressive and aggressive. He acts without considering the consequences. If he continues, he will definitely get into trouble."

"I crippled him this time, not to harm him, but to save his life in the future..."

"I hope you will learn from your superiors!"

Hong Guan's words were sonorous and powerful, like the sound of thunder, echoing around the lantern festival and reaching far away on the painting boat cruise in Lumeng Daze.

Still no response.

But Hong Guan's eyes flashed sharply, he kicked up a nearby chair 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 out of the street slowly, and everyone made way for him, watching his back go away until he disappeared.

call!
  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 surrounding martial arts disciples also sighed:
  "Yes, yes, these spectators are harmful 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 ending. He shook his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

He has already tested the results. The current spell can indeed be effective for advanced martial arts masters, but the opponent obviously also has countermeasures.

"After all, it's just an introductory spell."

"Next time I go back to the world of immortality, I should learn formal spells..."

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 the venue early.

After the excitement dissipated, footprints walked out of the lantern festival venue one by one, gathering into a huge flow of people and heading towards the houses in the city.

It happened to be snowing lightly in the sky.

At the wine table, everyone clinked their bowls together for the last time, then stood up and left.

But as soon as I reached the pier, I saw a cargo ship docking.

The boatman above didn't care about moving the goods, so he hurried down and found his acquaintance to tell him some news. "What happened?"

Chen Lin was a little strange and wanted to lean over and listen.

But it was no longer necessary, because the news came all at once.

"The battle in the south is lost!"

"One hundred thousand imperial troops were trapped and killed by the rebels!"

"Three thousand military levy masters died of exhaustion in battle!"

Someone raised their hands and shouted loudly in the snow.

Everyone who heard it froze in place.

After the silence, there were voices asking whether it was true or not. The front and rear 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 there, like two sea-fixing needles in the wave.

"Oh, the price of food will increase tomorrow."

"Alin, take advantage of this time to collect 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 won't have to worry about his livelihood.

A month passed.

He is no longer the woodcutter who could only chop wood in the mountains.

Leaving Xicheng in the wind and snow.

Along the way, every household lit lamps, and various sad voices came from them, as they all anxiously counted their property and food.

The clanking of copper plates, the rustling of rice vats, 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.

Everyone 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.

When I was the only one left, I arrived at the small village where I lived.

In the dark night, it was still snowing lightly.

The small village should usually be silent.

Today 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 also the hearty laughter of a man.

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 have to worry to death."

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're back!"

The aunt who came out to pour water was surprised.

Chen Lin waved and said, "Yes, Uncle Ping is back too?"

"Yes, your Uncle Ping 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 came back late today, and I will come home for dinner and drinks tomorrow!"

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

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 said with a smile, "I'll go there tomorrow after I finish my work, and we can catch up with the past then."
