Chapter 1512 Zhongzhou (it will soon be below zero)

Duanmu Huai sat in the corner of the inn, drinking wine and eating meat out of boredom.

This world is different from other places. It is divided into five states: East, West, South, North and Central. Duanmu Huai is now in Central. When he first came here, this town happened to post a notice saying that a man-eating tiger was roaming and a reward was offered for killing it. So Duanmu Huai killed the tiger and then brought its body to the government office to claim the reward.

Then Duanmu Huai naturally lived here.

He had nothing else to do. There were no monsters in this world, and the judge had no room to play. So Duanmu Huai became a hunter here. He went out to the surrounding mountains and forests to kill a few animals for money, and then stayed in the inn, looking drunk and dreaming.

There was no Internet or electronic games in this era. Duanmu Huai was bored every day, so he listened to the chats of people from all over the world in the inn to relieve his boredom.

Therefore, he knew some knowledge of the martial arts world more or less.

For example, Lin Xian'er, the most beautiful woman in the Western Wulin, Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect in the Northern Wulin, Fengyunhui in the Eastern Wulin, the Demon Sect in the Southern Wulin, and so on...

Duanmu Huai had heard of some of them, but not others. In short, he knew that these things should not be mixed together.

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

Duanmu Huai took another bite of the chicken leg at hand and drank a sip of tea. Duanmu Huai had also read martial arts novels, but he didn't like them very much. It's not that Duanmu Huai didn't like martial arts, but because he was often teased by his classmates that the protagonists in martial arts novels were all weak pretty boys. A tall black iron tower like Duanmu Huai would be an NPC character who appeared in martial arts novels and was beaten up by the protagonist to show off...at most, he would be a doorman or a bodyguard.

Damn, I feel unhappy when I think of this Duanmu Huai.

Protagonist? I don't care if you are Zhang Junbao or Linghu Chong, or if you are Nine Yang Magic Art or Dugu Nine Swords, I will kill you if you come, am I afraid of you?

Want to use me as a stepping stone to show off? Dream on.

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

Every day, people come and go, and the content of their chats is also from all over the world. For example, now, Duanmu Huai is listening to the people at the table next to him talking about the story of a flower-stealing thief.

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

"Hey, do you know that the plum blossom thief who was rampant thirty years ago has appeared again!"

"Plum blossom thief?"

Looking at the solemn expression on the face of the older people, a young people frowned.

"What is that?"

"Hey, when the Plum Blossom Thief became famous, you weren't even born yet. You know, there was no one in the West Wulin who didn't know him. This man's whereabouts were erratic, unpredictable, and he did a lot of evil. At that time, Wu Wentian, the head of Dian Cang, threatened to find him, but he died in his own yard the next day. There was no scar on his body, only five bloodstains arranged like plum blossoms on his chest, as small as a needle hole. Everyone knew that was the symbol of the Plum Blossom Thief. But no one knew whether it was a hidden weapon or some external weapon. Because those who had fought with him... ..."

Speaking of this, the old Jianghu lowered his voice.

"All dead."

"Oh?"

"But one thing is certain, the Plum Blossom Thief must be a man, because he not only robs money, but also robs women. Both the black and white people in the Western Wulin hate him to the core, but they can't do anything to him. Because if someone says they want to go against him, they will definitely die within three days, and there will definitely be his unique mark on their chest."

"So scary?"

Hearing the introduction of the old Jianghu, the young Jianghu turned pale.

"Then what happened later?"

"Later... the Plum Blossom Thief disappeared, and no one knew where he went. There are even rumors that the Plum Blossom Thief felt that the Western Wulin was not enough for him to harm, so he went to harm other Wuzhou, and was killed by a big shot..."

"But..."

The young Jianghu frowned in confusion.

"Hearing what you said, the Plum Blossom Thief must be quite old, at least he should be in his sixties or seventies now, is he still capable of doing such a thing?"

"Ah, I don't want to believe it either, but everyone says so, and I heard that the unique mark of the Plum Blossom Thief was found on the corpse again... And in the past seven or eight months, he has committed seventy or eighty major crimes. At present, women with a little beauty in the martial arts world are even more worried about sleeping and eating..."

"Chicken thieves and dog thieves are not to be feared."

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

"If this guy dares to come to the South Wulin, I want to see him and the fairies of Cihang Jingzhai, it will be very interesting. In the final analysis, it's just that the people in the West Wulin are too useless. They can't even deal with a mere flower thief. It's really laughable."

"Brother, what you said is wrong."

At this time, the martial arts guest opposite him also interrupted.

"You know, no matter which Wuzhou, a flower thief who can make a name for himself is not an easy person to deal with. For example, Tian Boguang, the lone traveler in the Northern Wulin, is still rampant and unscrupulous, and no one can do anything to him?"

"Hey, what's so great about the Southern Wulin."

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

"What Cihang Jingzhai? Your demon Bian Bufu is not a good guy either. 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, the righteous ones, are also determined to kill the demons, but we are powerless to return to heaven..."

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

"You are so brave. If you have the guts to go to the Southern Wulin and say this, I guarantee you will be splashed with 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 in 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.

Well...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 charlatans walked in. They were dressed in different clothes, holding weapons in their hands, with serious 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 behave. They are a group of gutless rats who 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 ridicule, everyone's face changed. One of them held a long sword and stared at Duanmu Huai.

"Who are you? Why are you speaking ill of us?"

Before Duanmu Huai answered, a shrill voice suddenly rang out.

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

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

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

Hearing the little brat's words, the man smiled bitterly.

"I'm so sorry."

The Jianghu people looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"If that's the case, then take down this accomplice and talk later!"

The next moment, a cold light flashed and shot towards Duanmu Huai!
