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

Chapter 74: Promotion to seniority (please follow up)
  Noon has not passed yet.

Chen Lin stepped into the mountain city again and walked through the deserted streets.

Just like last time, those gangsters planted a man at the street corner to show off. As soon as he came over, the gangsters would leave the mountain city to "eat".

It's about one person and two people not bothering each other.

So much so that some people joked that they would rent a house for Chen Lin nearby and ask him to be the door god of Shanshi...

Walked by a restaurant.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of an unexpected tall figure.

Chen Lin turned his head and looked around, and it was Weng Jinren.

He was sitting on a long bench with a relaxed posture, holding a sea bowl in his hand, with waves of wine rippling in his hand, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

After noticing someone looking at him, he smiled playfully, raised the wine bowl in his hand and took a sip, as if to say hello to Chen Lin.

In the eyes of others, the sea bowl was about the same size as a basin, but it matched his body just right.

He poured wine into his mouth one after another, tapping his fingers on the table, and the tapping sound sounded like some kind of beat.

A gust of cool wind happened to blow by, making the waterproof reeds on the shed outside the restaurant rustle.

"strangeness……"

Chen Lin frowned, withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards Uncle Xiang's shop.

However, after taking only two steps, he found that Uncle Xiang was also walking towards him.

The words come first before the person arrives.

"As soon as I saw those ruffians running away, I knew it was you, Ah Lin, coming here."

"Come with me. We gathered some people today and planned to discuss it together, so I sent someone to call you."

Uncle Xiang came over to lead the way, his face was quite solemn, he didn't even have the intention of joking, and went straight into a small alley in Shanshi.

Soon I came to a small house, where someone was already waiting.

Most of them are middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, with weathered faces and burly bodies. You can tell at a glance that they are mountain hunters.

There are also a few relatively wealthy ones, who should be the stores that receive goods in the mountain market.

Several of them, Chen Lin, had dealt with them before and had a few words with them.

Seeing him coming in at this time, these people greeted him one after another:

"Brother Lin, come and sit down quickly!"

"Let's have a cup of tea first. There are still some people who haven't arrived. Let's get down to business after everyone is here."

As soon as the words next to him finished, someone from the room came over and poured him a bowl of tea.

He thanked him repeatedly, picked it up and took a sip.

Before long, several more people came over one after another.

Chen Lin also gradually discovered that the people sitting on the field were all "veterans" from Shanshi City.

Uncle Xiang who never cheats or cheats, Old Dingtou who contacted the Xicheng cargo ship, and the oldest Mr. Zhang...

Most of the middle-aged hunters had hunted tigers, and three of them had even hunted strange beasts like Fan Yoshi.

The people present were either capable, prestigious or senior in the mountain city.

These people are gathering together now, obviously to discuss something.

And he, a young man, could actually get a position among them?
  At this time, Chen Lin raised his head belatedly.

'As a co-author, am I now an old artist in their eyes? '

It should be the reason why he was super promoted due to the previous incident of forcing him to quit the gangster.

……

Tea and dried fruits are provided in the room.

Everyone gathered around the table, chatting about homely things while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Only Chen Lin noticed that Uncle Xiang, who was sitting next to him, always had a sullen face, neither eating nor participating in the chat.

I continued to wait for half a cup of tea.

Another acquaintance whom I had just met a few days ago walked in.

It was Fan Yishi, still wearing the gray cloth clothes from the Five Form Boxing Gym.

As soon as he walked in, he took the initiative to greet everyone and then sat next to Chen Lin.

Looking at the whole audience, they were the only two young people.

Seeing that everyone was present, the oldest Mr. Zhang stood up with a wooden crutch. His beard and hair were all white, and his face was droopy with wrinkles. He was weighed down by a heavy weight, and his eyes were almost invisible.

He seems to be older than Master Xuanfu in the world of immortality.

The old man spoke slowly:
  "Everyone, a new He's store opened in Shanshi yesterday. The shopkeeper He said that he can invite the martial arts master Rujin from the inner city to sit for us, and he can also serve as a worshiper of Shanshi in the future."

"In this way, we no longer have to worry about the gangsters in the mountain city, and we no longer need to be afraid of even the Flying Bear Boxing Gym behind us..."

These words are mainly addressed to those store owners in mountain markets.

Chen Lin also noticed as he listened.

Although they were sitting in their seats, these individual hunters were obviously just here to listen.

The matter is not directly related to them.

The other hunters, including Fan Yoshi, were all wandering around in their thoughts at this time.

"... Inviting a powerful martial artist to come to Shanshi City requires money, but shopkeeper He also promised that if any store owners have difficulties in this regard, he can lend money to help, just write a note."

Mr. Zhang stroked his crutch and asked everyone for their opinions. Of course, the money needed for management is shared equally by everyone.

And Shopkeeper He's promise to give them a note in this regard is actually equivalent to agreeing to help them advance the money first, and then let them pay back the money when the results are effective in the future...

Shopkeeper He is willing to do this, obviously he is very confident in recruiting the martial arts master.

Thinking of this, all the store owners who were still hesitant at first agreed.

Only Uncle Xiang always frowned:

"Master Zhang, I always feel that there is something fishy in this matter!"

"Axiang, I have inquired about it. Shopkeeper He used to do mountain cargo shipping business in Xicheng. His background is very innocent."

"Yes, Lao Xiang, this is a rare opportunity, otherwise those gangsters won't know how long they will be bothered."

"Ah Sheng deserves to be damned if he really steps on the horse, it's all his fault!"

"That is, he and his son have not made any contribution to the mountain city. If they die, they will give it to others and let these people use it to harm us!"

Everyone's words and words conveyed the joy of being about to be liberated.

But Uncle Xiang never replied.

On the contrary, Chen Lin was listening and suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago.

He knocked on the table:
  "That man used to do business in Xicheng, and what's his last name?"

"What's wrong with Brother Lin?"

"I just remembered one thing. Master Shi and I had seen people from the Flying Bear Boxing Gym enter the gate of He's house in Xicheng."

Chen Lin said this.

Fan Yoshi beside him was stunned for a moment, and immediately connected the two things together: "That shopkeeper He is from the He family!"

"The He family used to lend money in Nancheng..."

Fan Yoshi immediately revealed the details of the He family.

With the sound of his words, the room that had been peaceful just now fell silent for an instant.

A look of astonishment hung on everyone's face.

Even Uncle Xiang is no exception.

"hiss!"

"So, it may be the He family who is eyeing Shanshi. He is a good guy and a bad guy?!"

"They were the ones who brought the gangsters who harassed Shanshi. Even Shopkeeper He, who said he was coming to help us now, is one of theirs?"

"This...what are we going to do next?"

Everyone looked at Chen Lin subconsciously.

Chen Lin blinked his eyes, suddenly picked up his chin, and suggested seriously:

"How about I come and beat them all up?"

"Alin, stop making trouble," Uncle Xiang quickly held him down, "The He family is targeting Shan City. You don't live in the city. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get angry!"

Uncle Xiang's tone was stern.

Others have the same attitude.

That Mr. Zhang raised his hand and said:

"It's already good that Brother Lin can wake up these idiots like us in time. There's no need to push ahead. This is our matter after all."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhang." Chen Lin quickly returned the greeting.

……

Discussions continued until the afternoon, but the store owners could not come up with any countermeasures.

Don't look at the number of people gathered in the room.

But it only looks lively, but when it comes to power, it doesn't even have a hair on the back of the He family.

After all, they usually hunt and sell goods honestly, how can they stand up to those crooked ways?

Chen Lin walked out of the small house, and Fan Yoshi beside him hurried towards the inner city.

Uncle Xiang also followed closely from behind.

"Alin, today it all depends on you!"

"But you are young and energetic. Remember not to be too impulsive in your future actions. This matter won't have to be solved by you. I will make it clear to other stores in the past few days and we can all work together to boycott..."

After Uncle Xiang finished speaking, he left quickly to tell the news to others.

Chen Lin watched from behind as his figure disappeared.

Suddenly he turned around and went all the way back to the restaurant where he saw Weng Jinren just now.

"Brother Lin, do you want to have a drink?" The waiter came up to him.

"Where's that Weng Jinren from before?"

"That big scourge has left long ago!"

"Pity……"

"Ah? What did Brother Lin say?"

"Nothing, I'm leaving."
