Immortality Martial Arts: Starting from the Sword Drawing Technique

"Get down here, get down here!"

"No, you should go there, listen to me, you're right!"

"Both of you are wrong. You should listen to me and get off here!"

"Why are you arguing! Are you playing chess or am I playing?! Shut up, do you know what it means to watch the game without saying anything? If we lose this game, it's all down to you!"

…

Lin Bei clasped his hands behind his back and walked up to them. He looked at them playing chess with curiosity, but in fact he listened to their conversation with his ears raised.

"Hey, Xiaobei is free today. Do you want to have a game with the old man later?"

Two old men recognized Lin Bei and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, I don't know how to play chess. I just join in the fun, but I don't dare to play chess with you all the time."

Lin Bei declined very humbly.

First of all, he really doesn't know much about Go. He only knows a few rules and has played a few games with others. He is at the level of a novice at most.

Secondly, he came here to get information, not to play chess.

A game of Go takes too long. Sometimes it can last a whole day. He still has to practice, so he can't afford it.

"Well, what's the point? I don't do much, old man. I just want to kill time anyway."

The old man grinned, showing two big yellow teeth.

Lin Bei shook his head: "I still can't, lest I ruin your happiness later."

When the old man saw that he refused again, he no longer invited him, and he just slapped his mouth, which was a bit sensible.

"It's rare to find young people like you who can get along well with old men like us!"

Indeed, the area under the big banyan tree was full of elderly people and a group of playful little kids.

The young people are very busy, some go hunting in the mountains, and some gather ginseng.

Only a group of old people and women with weak legs and children were left, as well as children in need of care.

This is very similar to the previous life. The people I see most in the square are always the adults, aunts, and children.

However, these old men in front of them are different from those in the previous life. Many of them are also Qi and Blood Realm warriors.

It's just that as I get older, my energy and blood have entered a period of decline, and I have long lost hope of moving forward.

In other words, retired!

As a result, several lanes and alleys nearby, with this big banyan tree as the center, formed a leisure area similar to the "Park Square" in the previous life.

It’s just that there are no flower beds trimmed into various shapes, nor are there any railings for exercising.

There are only a group of old men who love to play chess and a group of children chasing each other.

There are several stalls nearby, selling tea and pastries, with a few chatty old men sitting here and there.

But the most popular thing among children is the scarecrow stall with candied haws stuck in its roots.

"Kid, do you want one? It's only a penny each. It's very cheap."

"What? No money? I'm going to see your grandpa. Your grandpa is playing chess over there. As long as you keep annoying him, he will definitely pay for it."

"Hey, hey, that little fat guy over there, you can't lick it. If you don't want to buy it, go away!"

Lin Bei smiled and shook his head, walked to the tea stall, and ordered a bowl of tea and a plate of fennel beans.

I remember when he first traveled through time and went out for the first time, he felt that the whole alley was eerie and unpopular.

It wasn't until I discovered this "senior leisure area" not long ago that I understood why.

The young and middle-aged people have all gone up the mountain, the old and the children have come here to play chess and play, and the women have gone to the river to wash their clothes. It’s strange that there are so many people in the residential area!

The tea tasted astringent and slightly bitter, but very refreshing. Lin Bei held the tea and threw an fennel bean into his mouth. While chewing it, he listened to the bragging of a few old men on the few tables and chairs in the tea shop.

"Did you hear that Lao Li's house was robbed?"

"Oh, really? What did you lose?"

"Hey, it's not just about the money, his eldest son's life has also been lost!"

"I've also heard about this. It's said that when the thief broke into his house, he accidentally woke up his sleeping eldest son. The thief was also a ruthless character. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he rushed up and covered his son. mouth……"

As he spoke, the old man wiped his neck, clicked his tongue twice, and continued.

"Many people were woken up at that time, and I even went to join in the fun. Oh, what a scene. The whole room was covered in blood. It was too horrible to see!"

"Oh, it's so pitiful. Old Man Li has been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have this happen to him."

"you do not say……"

…

"Are you a thief? This world is really chaotic. It's easy to break into houses and kill people. It seems I have to be more vigilant!"

Lin Bei thought to himself, and continued to listen with open ears, silently sifting through things that might be useful to him.

He knows too little about this world, and he doesn't yet have the strength to go out on his own.

In this case, the information that came out of these old men's mouths was of great help to me in understanding the background of this world.

Listening carefully, Lin Bei was like a sponge, fully absorbing the ocean of complicated information.

Sudden.

"Huh? Why don't you speak?"

Lin Bei looked puzzled, put down his tea bowl, and looked at the opposite table.

I saw several old men looking in the same direction in silence, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Following the gazes of several people, Lin Bei saw two familiar figures, one fat and one thin.

"It's them, no wonder!"

The visitors were none other than the two gangsters from the Flying Eagle Gang who were responsible for collecting protection fees.

Lin Bei had already found out the names of the two people. The fat man was named Li Hui and the thin man was named Zhu Chunsheng.

Just looking at their names, they are ordinary and unremarkable, but both of them are ruthless guys.

The most shameless thing is that the two of them and their gang are warriors at the fourth level of Qi and Blood Realm and live in the inner city, but these guys bully the weak and fear the strong, and specially come to the outer city to extort money.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, quickly came to the pastry shop next to the tea shop and sat down with a majestic look.

"It's really unlucky. I'm so unlucky today. I've lost all my money for this month's meals. Damn it!"

The fat man Li Hui was like a ball of fat, pressing on the stool, making a crunching sound and almost crushing the stool.

He kept swearing while asking the boss to order food.

Not long after, bowls of noodle soup covered with sliced ​​meat and several steaming steamed buns were served.

The two of them ate noodles while shouting curses.

"It's designated that Zhao Laoliu of the Black Snake Gang is the con man, his mother Xipi. This kid doesn't look like a good person!"

"That's right, this Zhao Laoliu has a sly look and has done countless bad things secretly. Mad Bazi actually bullied us."

Cursing and cursing, the thin man suddenly got excited, slapped the table, and said loudly.

"Hmph, this kid doesn't follow the moral principles of the world. Brother, why don't we go teach him a lesson now and show him some color!"

Hearing this, the fat man seemed to choke, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.

"This kid is backed by the Black Snake Gang. The boss told us not to cause trouble."

"Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow, let's play a few more games with him. I will expose his tricks with my own hands and make him lose face!"

"Brother is wise!"

The thin man Zhu Chunsheng quickly flattered him.

The two of them ate indiscriminately and soon left several empty bowls and empty steamer baskets behind.

After burping, Li Hui picked his teeth with a toothpick and called the boss over. He burped again at him. The smelly breath hit his face. The boss was so frightened that he didn't dare to escape at all, so he had to endure it. .

"Um, you haven't paid the protection fee this month, right?"

Li Hui said casually.

"Ah? I, I paid it. I just paid three taels of silver two days ago. Mr. Li, have you forgotten?"

The boss exclaimed, his face full of grievance, but he did not dare to speak loudly.
