Chapter 24 A closer look

The next day, at the fish market, in a tavern.

"Hey, Lao Xutou, you're not dead yet?"

"The bones in your body are really strong!"

"I came here to drink again today. Could it be that I caught another turtle?"

"How come we can't catch anything? It's just stinky fish and rotten shrimps. It's bad luck!"

"You don't understand this, turtles, you can't net them, you have to catch them!"

"Old Xu Tou has lived for so many years and has no other skills except fishing for turtles."

"Master Xu, it's a good idea to pass this skill on to me. I will accept you as my godfather and will provide for you until you die."

"You are so beautiful..."

Xu Yang was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, huddled in a corner, eating wine and food by himself, ignoring everyone's laughter and teasing, quietly enjoying this rare leisure time.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, and time had lapsed. He had spent more than three hundred years in Dazhou, and nearly a year had passed in reality.

He had been very uncomfortable this year. Because of the huge time difference, he had to stay asleep for a long time. Otherwise, the clone in Dazhou would be uncontrollable and he would die of thirst and starvation.

Especially at the beginning, when he didn't have any foundations such as Baiduan Mountain, he was dormant in Xiaohuang Village, secretly accumulating strength. In the real world, he could only chew raw brown rice and drink raw lake water.

After all the rice was eaten, I had no choice but to go into the water by myself, or let the osprey catch various fish and shrimps. I didn't have time to cook them, so I just ate them alive. I really lived a life of a savage eating hair and drinking blood.

Later, he cloned himself into Baiduan Mountain, practiced martial arts, improved his skills, and gained the ability to live without grains. The situation improved slightly, but it was not much better. Time in the real world is still rushed and tense. Apart from issues such as food and water, I still have to deal with some trivial matters to prove that I am not dead yet.

Otherwise, if he had been lying on the awning boat for more than three hundred days, ignoring everything, someone would have come over to check for any abnormality in him.

Don't doubt that this world is so strict in supervising the people at the bottom, because this is not an ordinary world, there are otherworldly powers, and there is also the saying of "encounters by chance".

It's not uncommon for ordinary people to encounter a chance and then skyrocket to the sky beyond control. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Therefore, all forces are very strict and sensitive in monitoring "abnormal news". Once there are strange and unusual events under the rule, it will definitely attract attention and various investigations.

Xu Yang has been fishing on Dongting Lake for decades and has heard of many such things. Although most of them are unjust cases, various forces still enjoy it and even intensify it.

In this regard, Xu Yang can also understand that living in a world of extraordinary manifestations and possessing a certain amount of power, he naturally has to find every means and pursue it at any cost, otherwise how can he be worthy of himself.

Therefore, strict supervision is a matter of course, and indifference is the problem.

It is also for this reason that Xu Yang always keeps a low profile and never exposes any abnormality. He just works as a fisherman on Dongting Lake, accumulating strength in secret and waiting for the turn of fortune to come.

Now, a turning point has come, but Xu Yang still doesn't want to be exposed. After all, he has only saved up for less than a year in the real world. He is not invincible in the world of Great Zhou. The centuries-old martial arts myth and shallow internal strength cultivation cannot give him any safety. feel.

Therefore, he should remain a fisherman honestly, or at most find a way to change his identity so that "Old Xutou" can die a good life and retire with success.

As for leaving Dongting and living in seclusion, this is still not within the scope of consideration. Not to mention various material needs, Xu Yang does not want to take the risk alone.

This is a world where extraordinary power exists. The deep mountains and old forests are not safe, but more dangerous. How could Xu Yang leave the familiar waters of Dongting and go to such a place to live in seclusion.

Dongting Lake is his hometown, the most familiar and safest place. For this reason, he also specially practiced his swimming skills in the East China Sea of ​​the Great Zhou World, and developed the powerful characteristics of a "Muddy Water Dragon" and transmitted it back.

If nothing else happens, he will stay here until his strength is exhausted, and then he will consider leaving and looking for a new place to practice.

so……

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"The Goldfish Gang has ordered everyone to gather at the entrance of the fish market immediately. No mistakes can be made!"

A harsh gong sound came, making everyone in the store startled.

Xu Yang also frowned.

"what's going on?"

"who knows?"

"Such a big movement...?"

"Order from the Goldfish Gang, let's go quickly, don't delay!"

"It's just that we can't afford to offend those noble people."

Seeing this, everyone did not dare to neglect, and got up one after another to gather at the entrance of the fish market.

Xu Yang also stood up silently, put the fish basket on his back, and walked out.

Fish Market The fish market is a small market. It does not occupy a large area and has no fences. You can enter and exit at will.

But now it doesn't work, because there is a large group of people outside the market, surrounding this small fish market.

Seeing this, everyone was a little panicked, and they didn't dare to neglect. They came to the entrance of the fish market one after another, and Xu Yang was among them.

Although such battles are rare, they have happened several times in the past few decades. They are basically related to some strange rumors and usually do not involve an ordinary fisherman like him.

Therefore, Xu Yang did not rush to break out, but chose to follow everyone to the fish market entrance.

At the entrance of the fish market, a simple high platform has been erected. On the high platform stood a group of people, headed by a pair of young men and women in rich clothes.

Chen Qi, the steward of the Goldfish Gang and the domineering fisherman, was also in front. He said to everyone in the audience: "This is the third lady of our Goldfish Gang, and this is Young Master Tie of the Iron Lion Gang..." "

"Hello, Miss Third!"

"Hello, Mr. Iron!"

Everyone also cooperated and bowed one after another.

"very good!"

Chen Qi nodded with satisfaction and took out a portrait: "Miss Third and Mr. Tie came here today to find a person. This person came to our area a year or two ago. Let's take a look. If you can provide information, , I, the Goldfish Gang, will be richly rewarded.”

After that, he asked several gang members to take the portraits and come to the crowd for everyone to see.

Xu Yang took a look at it, but he had no impression and didn't recognize him, so he just looked at his nose and mouth, and treated him as an irrelevant member of the public.

Everyone watched for a while, but no one said anything, obviously they didn't want to cause trouble.

When Chen Qi saw this, he didn't care. He kicked over a small box under his feet and rolled out the white silver ingots and ingots: "If you have any clues, just tell me. The third lady and Mr. Tie are here. If you say there are rewards, there will be rewards." , you can even join our Goldfish Gang and enjoy the glory and wealth..."

"this……"

Looking at the white money, looking at Chen Qi who was swearing, and the arrogant young men and women behind him, someone finally couldn't resist the temptation and raised his hand and said: "Master Qi, we have seen this person before."

"oh?"

Chen Qi's eyes lit up, he picked up a silver ingot and threw it directly to the man: "Say!"

The man caught the silver ingot and was overjoyed. He quickly said to Chen Qi: "This man is a rich man. He came to the lake with his wife and daughter two years ago and said he wanted to take a boat trip on the lake. He offered only one tael of silver. Everyone was grabbing it. Up."

"Yeah?"

Chen Qi was overjoyed and asked repeatedly: "What happened next?"

"later?"

The man looked around and then said: "Later, the business was taken away by Lao Zhangtou because his boat was larger. Later, there was no news. I heard Lao Zhangtou said that they swam down the lake to Qingshikou. The family got off the boat and left, not knowing whether it was true or not.”

"Old Zhangtou?"

Chen Qi frowned: "That old Zhangtou who disappeared half a year ago?"

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

"..."

Listening to the words of the two people, Xu Yang frowned slightly under the bamboo hat.

"Aren't you trying to trick me into dying without proof?"

"How dare you, little man? Master Qi, many people have seen it. If you don't believe me, just ask."

"this……"

Hearing this, Chen Qi was helpless and could only look back at the pair of young men and women.

The "Iron Master" frowned and said in a deep voice: "Ask me, when did you disappear, where did you disappear, what did you do before you disappeared, and who did you meet?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Chen Qi quickly turned around and asked everyone again.

"this……"

"It's in White Water Bay, right?"

"His boat has always been parked there."

"I remember, that day he seemed to have visited Lao Xu for the first time."

"Yes, yes, I met him. He said he wanted to pass his penis over to Lao Xu and die."

With a huge bounty on his head, everyone didn't care anymore and directly dragged Xu Yang in.

"Old Xutou?"

Chen Qi also had an impression of Xu Yang, and immediately glanced at him: "Where is Old Xu Tou?"

"Here, here!"

"Old Xutou, Master Qi is looking for you, do you hear me?"

Everyone who knew him directly pointed out Xu Yang's location.

Xu Yang had no choice but to step forward: "Seventh Master."

Chen Qi looked at him and didn't feel anything unusual. He asked directly: "Old Xutou, Old Zhangtou looked for you before he disappeared."

Xu Yang nodded, looking like he was drowsy: "Ah, yes, he came to see me."

"What are you looking for?"

"Yes, I adopted the second child of his family and said he would provide for me until the end of my life."

"Then what?"

"Then we negotiated and they went back."

"that's all?"

"that's all."

"this……"

Chen Qi frowned and turned to look at the young man and woman behind him.

I saw the two of them looking at Xu Yang, and then the young man took a step forward and looked down at him coldly: "Is that just that?"

Xu Yang looked confused and said at a loss: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"Um……"

The young man groaned, and then he didn't ask any more questions. He kicked out the silver ingot from under his feet and dropped it in front of Xu Yang: "Very good. I'm going to reward you. Others have news. You can tell me that there will be rewards for all the rewards."

"Thank you, Mr. Tie."

When Xu Yang saw this, he also looked overjoyed and bent down to pick up the silver ingot.

At this moment...

The young man's eyes turned cold, he moved his feet, and kicked out another silver ingot, and shot it towards the bent Xu Yang like a flying stone.

However, Xu Yang had already expected it. He stepped forward, turned his body, grabbed the corner of the coir raincoat with his backhand and swung it like a cloak. A few cold stars were thrown out from it, and they shot towards the high platform like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

hidden weapon!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

Everyone on the stage was caught off guard. Chen Qiyi and others didn't know what was happening, but they were hit by flying hidden weapons that covered their faces and bodies. They immediately exploded and fell down with blood splattering everywhere.

The young man was also a little slow to react. What he did just now was just a whim and a test based on a little suspicion. Anyway, the other party was a pariah fisherman. Even if he was wrong, it didn't hurt.

But he didn't expect that this old, unspectacular fisherman would move so quickly and fight back so decisively, catching him off guard.

Although the mind cannot react in time, the body's instincts are triggered, and the true energy in the body runs independently to protect the body.

finally……

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The hidden weapon skillfully thrown out fell on the young man's body, smashing the brocade robe and robe, but revealing a layer of inner armor and vest, and bursts of fire.

Unfortunately, the vest is just a vest, it cannot cover the whole body, let alone the facade. There are still a few iron nails and hidden weapons falling on the surface, and the true energy cannot be completely protected, leaving many blood marks and even wounds.

"ah!!!"

The young man was hurt, screamed in shock, and became extremely angry.

However……

"call!"

I saw Xu Yang standing in the audience, jumping up, and using some tricks to make himself lighter, he flew onto the stage like a roc spreading its wings, carrying strong wind and pressing down in front of the young man.

The young man was hurt, frightened and angry. Before he could react, he saw a strong wind blowing in his face and a black shadow coming towards him.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the unique fighting skills, although there is no real power to support, but the internal energy can barely be activated, several moves are blasted out in an instant, punches, palm splits, finger thrusts, knee strikes, respectively landing on the young man's throat, neck side, abdominal ribs, Even if his Qi had already matured, he could not protect his lower yin and other vital organs, and for a moment, severe pain came like a wave.

But he didn't even have time to scream, because the movement of the person in front of him was flowing and flowing, and it was faster than imagined. After a few moves in a split second, he made another desperate move, with heavy palms and strength, he slammed down and hit the top of Tianling hard. .

"boom!!!"

There was a loud sound, blood spurted out of the seven orifices, and the young man knelt down in response.

"Sanlang!"

At this moment, the woman on the left realized what she was doing. She ignored the pain from being hit by a hidden weapon and pulled out the sword from her waist.

However……

Xu Yang turned over and turned around, like a top rolling out, with his hands hooked, moving like a dragon or a tiger.

The Dou Zi Volume, Finger Claw Chapter, combines Shaolin Dragon Claw, Wudang Tiger Claw, Nine Yin White Bones, Powerful Eagle Claw and other finger and claw stunts, and is made by countless masters, giants, prodigies and geniuses to eliminate the old and bring out the new. It can be said to be a unique art in the world. second to none.

Before the woman's sword was unsheathed, she felt a strong gust of wind blowing towards her, killing her with all her strength.

"Poof!!!"

There was just a horrifying sound, and blood splashed out. The woman stood frozen on the ground, her eyes widened, her throat was bloody and white, and most of her neck bones and throat were torn away.

Xu Yang didn't say anything, he just flicked the flesh and blood in his hand, and then he rose up like a roc, jumped off the high platform in one step, and ran straight out of the city. The method of fighting rolls to lighten one's body was unfolded, and coupled with the effect of walking as fast as flying, it only took a few breaths. The ups and downs become a dark shadow in the distance.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Killing people!!!"

"ah!!!!"

"Master!"

"Miss!"

"Hurry up!"

At this time, everyone woke up from a dream and looked at the high platform with corpses and blood flowing everywhere. The scene immediately became chaotic.

When the Goldfish Gang members surrounding the fish market saw this, they didn't know what to do. They all looked pale and horrified at the extremely tragic scene on the stage.
