Chapter 1512 Zhongzhou (It will be freezing soon)

Duanmu Huai was sitting in the corner of the inn, drinking wine and eating meat boredly.

This world is different from other places. It is divided into five states: east, west, south, north and middle. Duanmu Huai is currently in the middle state. When he first came here, there happened to be a notice posted in this town, saying that man-eating tigers were infested, and a reward was offered for killing them. So Duanmuhuai killed the tiger and took its body to the Yamen to receive the reward.

Then Duanmu Huai settled down here naturally.

He had nothing else to do, there were no monsters in this world, and the Inquisitor had no room for action. So Duanmu Huai became a hunter here, going out to the surrounding mountains and forests to hunt a few animals for money, and then stayed in the inn, looking like he was intoxicated.

In this era, there was no Internet or video games. Duanmu Huai was bored every day, just listening to the chatter from all over the world in the inn.

Therefore, I know more or less some knowledge in the martial arts world.

For example, Lin Xian'er, the most beautiful woman in the western Wulin, Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Clan in the northern Wulin, Fengyunhui in the eastern Wulin, the Demon Sect in the southern Wulin, etc...

Some Duanmuhuai had heard of it, some hadn't, but in short he knew that these things shouldn't be mixed together.

But...what does it have to do with myself?

Duanmu Huai took another bite of the chicken leg at hand and took a sip of tea. Duanmu Huai had also seen martial arts, but he didn't like it very much. It’s not that Duanmu Huai doesn’t like the genre of martial arts, but because he used to be teased by his classmates, saying that the protagonists in martial arts are all the kind of weak pretty boys. A tall black iron tower like Duanmu Huai is placed in martial arts novels. It's the kind of NPC character who only appears to be beaten up by the protagonist and pretends to be cool...at most, he can be a janitor or escort.

Mu De, I feel very unhappy when I think about this Duanmuhuai.

main character? I don't care whether you are Zhang Junbao or Linghu Chong, whether you are Nine Yang Divine Art or Dugu Nine Swords. One by one, I will die. Are you afraid that you won't succeed?

Do you want to use me as a stepping stone to show off? Just dream.

And now, Duanmu Huai is drinking and eating meat here, while listening to the chatter of the people around him.

Jianghu people come and go every day, and the content of their chats is all over the place. For example, right now, Duanmu Huai is listening to the charlatans at the table next to him chatting about a big flower-picking thief.

Well, men, when we get together, we either talk about women or brag.

"Hey, did you know that the Plum Blossom Thief who was rampant in the world thirty years ago has appeared again!"

"Plum Blossom Thief?"

Seeing the solemn look on the older Jianghu guest's face, a young Jianghu guest frowned.

"What's that?"

"Hey, when Plum Blossom Pirates became famous, you were not even born yet. You know, no one in Xiwulin knew about him at that time. This man was erratic, unpredictable, and did many evil things. At that time, Wu Wen, the leader of Dian Cang, Tian threatened to find him, but he died in his own courtyard the next day. There was no scar on his body, except for five blood marks arranged like plum blossoms on his chest, as small as needle holes. Everyone knew that it was the sign of the plum blossom thief, but no one knew whether it was a hidden weapon or a hidden weapon. What kind of outer weapons? Because the people who have fought against him..."

Speaking of this, the old Jiang Hu Ke lowered his voice.

"All dead."

"oh?"

"But one thing is for sure, the Plum Blossom Thief must be a man, because he not only robs wealth, but also robs sex. Both the black and white in Xiwulin hate him to the core, but there is nothing they can do against him. Because if someone says that he will If you go against him, you will definitely die within three days, and you will definitely have his unique mark on your chest."

"So scary?"

Hearing the old Jianghu Ke's introduction, the young Jianghu Ke's face turned pale.

"What happened next?"

"Later... the Plum Blossom Bandit disappeared and no one knew where he went. There were even rumors that the Plum Blossom Bandit felt that the West Wulin was no longer enough for him to cause harm to him, so he went to cause trouble to other Wuzhous, only to be killed by a big shot… …”

"but………"

The young charlatan frowned in confusion.

"Listen to what you said, father-in-law, the Plum Blossom Thief must be quite old. He should be at least sixty or seventy years old now. Is he still capable of doing such a thing?"

"Hey, I don't want to believe it, but everyone says so, and I heard that the unique mark of the Plum Blossom Thief was found on the corpse... and in the past seven or eight months, another seventy or eighty major cases have been done. Right now Even the pretty women in the world have trouble sleeping and eating..."

"There is nothing to fear from the crowing of cocks, dogs and thieves."

At this moment, the Jianghu guest sitting at the table next to him snorted coldly, raised his head and drank the wine in the pot.

"If this guy dares to come to Nan Wulin, I would like to see him squaring off with the fairies from Cihang Jingzhai. It will definitely be interesting. In the final analysis, it's just that the people in Xi Wulin are too useless. A mere flower-picking thief is I can’t deal with it, it’s really ridiculous.”

"Brother, this is wrong."

At this time, the Jiang Hu Ke opposite him also intervened.

"You must know that no matter which Wuzhou you are in, the flower-picking thieves who can make a name for themselves are not easy people. For example, Tian Boguang, a lone traveler in the North Wulin, can still run rampant and have no control over him?"

"Hey, what's so great about Nan Wulin."

At this time, another Jianghu guest couldn't help but mock.

"Speaking of Cihang Jingzhai, your Mo Yinbian is not a good bird if he doesn't live up to his expectations. I didn't see Cihang Jingzhai kill him."

"You know what the heck, the Demon Sect is powerful and has inextricable connections with the imperial court. We, Zhengdao, are also determined to slay the demons, but we are unable to return to heaven..."

"What you say is better than what you sing. In the final analysis, it's just cowardice."

"You're so brave. If you have the guts to go to the Southern Wulin and say this, I'll make sure you're covered in blood every five steps you take!"

"Hahaha, aren't you the same? You have the guts to go to Xiwulin and call the Plum Blossom Thief to see if they will also leave a plum blossom on your chest?"

"You kid is too much of a bully!"

"Come just come, I'm afraid of you!"

Why………

Duanmuhuai sat in the corner, looking at the scene in front of him, and shook his head helplessly. This kind of thing has become a common occurrence in the inn. Guests from all over the world come here to eat and drink. When they drink too much, they brag. When the bragging gets too high, they start fighting each other. It’s no different from the scolding wars on Tieba Weibo... Oh, no, there is still a difference.

In an online scolding battle, even if you type the keyboard until it smokes, you won't be able to hurt the opponent even a hair, but here, once the eyes are red, blood is common.

However, everyone in the inn was obviously used to it. The two fights started to fight each other for a few rounds. They felt that they couldn't do it in the inn, so they rushed out directly.

Hmm... It's okay to go outside and fight. At least you don't have to think about cleaning.

The inn was quiet for a moment, and then it became noisy again. The waiter quickly stepped forward to hold up the tables, chairs, and benches, singing songs, chatting, and drinking, as if nothing had happened just now.

Duanmu Huai leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

"This brother."

At this moment, a voice sounded. Duanmu Huai raised his eyelids and saw a man looking at him. "You don't mind if I sit here."

The man's voice was very soft, and he seemed to be no longer young. Only his eyes were still clear. Duanmuhuai just glanced at him and nodded.

"Thank you."

The man smiled, sat across from Duanmuhuai, and then ordered a drink from the waiter. Then he took out a piece of wood, took out a knife, and started carving.

Duanmuhuai glanced at the knife in the opponent's hand, yawned again, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. He lived like this every day. Anyway, there was nothing else to do or anything to kill. Just wait for the power in your body to be integrated, and then you can get out of this ghost place.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

I don't know how long it took, but there was a cough. Duanmu Huai opened his eyes. It was already late at night, and almost all the drinkers in the inn had left. Only the lunatic opposite me was still drinking and coughing.

"Go and change positions."

Duanmuhuai frowned and snorted coldly.

"Don't cough on people, it's impolite and dirty."

"Sorry, I didn't want to either."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, the man smiled bitterly, then stretched out his hand and drank the wine in the bowl in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I...well, maybe I should go, but it's too late."

After saying this, the man turned his head and looked at the door of the inn. At the same time, the door of the inn was pushed open, and several Jianghu people came in. They were dressed in different clothes, holding weapons in their hands, and with solemn expressions, and pushed the consumption ghost. Surrounded by similar men.

"The Plum Blossom Thief is here!"

"Do you think you can still run away?"

Hearing the angry shouts from the crowd, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and glanced at the man curiously.

"Are you the Plum Blossom Thief?"

Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the man smiled slightly.

"Brother, do you think I look like you?"

"Who knows, and I don't care."

Duanmuhuai closed his eyes again and changed his position against the wall.

"Amitabha……"

A Buddha's name was announced, and then an old monk with a kind-hearted face walked in. He clasped his hands together, looked at the man, and sighed silently.

"Li Tanyue, why is this happening?"

"I didn't expect that you could actually chase me to Zhongzhou."

The man looked at the wine silently, looked at the knife, and sighed.

"Plum blossom thieves do many evil things, and everyone will be punished, no matter who they are."

A charlatan spoke, stared at the man, and then spoke.

"Even the famous Xiao Li Feidao is the same!"

"…………"

The man didn't speak, he just stared at the wine and the knife.

"So, who's coming?"

A simple sentence, but it made all the Jianghu people who were eager to try stop. They clenched their weapons and opened their eyes wide, but no one came forward.

"Tsk, a bunch of trash."

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly when he saw the glaring look of this group of charlatans. They came to arrest people aggressively, but when they got there, no one came forward.

So what are these people here for? Just watching from here?

"Brother, this is wrong."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's complaints, the man coughed and smiled.

"They just want someone else to take the lead."

"I know, Xiao Li's flying knife is a good example."

Duanmu Huai stretched.

"So they need others to die first, and then they can take advantage of it. In the final analysis, this is how people in the martial arts world behave. They are a group of gutless rats. They only have themselves in their hearts and don't care about anything else. A well-trained army , are much better than these idiots, no wonder they can only hang out in the martial arts gang and have such no future. "

Hearing Duanmu Huai's taunt, everyone's expressions changed. One of them held a long sword and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"Who do you think you are, why do you say evil things to us?"

Before Duanmuhuai could answer, suddenly, a high-pitched voice sounded.

"He must be an accomplice of the Plum Blossom Thief. Li Xunhuan came here to join him!"

Duanmu Huai raised his eyes and saw a little kid standing behind the crowd, looking at him with a cold smile.

"Otherwise, why would he sit at the same table with Li Xunhuan!?"

Hearing what the little kid said, the man smiled bitterly.

"I'm so sorry."

The charlatans looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other.

"That being the case, then let's capture this comrade before it's too late!"

The next moment, cold light flashed and shot towards Duanmuhuai!
