Weird Sequence: Immortality Begins from Chinese Martial Arts

Jiang You was sitting on a wooden bench in the lobby, holding a painting in his hand and looking at it in amazement. The evil ghost under his feet had had its limbs cut off and was cut into a stick, but it still kept shouting at Jiang You, shocked. The donkey next to me kept braying.

"Quiet!"

Jiang You didn't know whether he said this to the evil ghost or the donkey, but he was looking at the information on the painting skin carefully.

【Evil Ghost Painted Skin】

[Quality: Silver]

[Characteristics: After wearing it, you will gain all the physical characteristics of the original owner, gain incomplete memory within three days, and obtain the invisibility effect! 】

"This thing can be considered a treasure, but it's a pity that it's the painting of a woman, so I can't use it!"

Jiang You didn't have the special habit of being a cross-dresser. He thought to himself that it was a pity. He looked at the evil ghost at his feet. After losing his painting skin, this evil ghost had lost its consciousness. It was as weird as usual and could only roar like a wild beast. .

"The main reason for this weirdness is to use the painted skin to coax prey into eating. Without the painted skin, it is no longer a concern. At the same time, without being identified, relying on the sanity brought by the painted skin to blend into human society will also cause harm. Don’t underestimate it!”

Jiang You sighed with emotion. He didn't know how many painted-skinned evil spirits had been mixed into this huge Jinguan City!

Jiang You thought like this, and then he exerted force with his feet, shaking the evil ghost into black energy and flying away. I don't know if it was because the painting skin was taken away, but the sequence progress brought by this kill to Jiang You was actually zero!

At the level of Sequence Seven, the huge gap in strength has made it difficult to bring any progress value to Jiang You.

Jiang You put the painting skin into the space ring, turned on the perspective and scanned around the small hotel, and found a blood-spattered bedding placed under the bed in the strange room. This should be the only trace of the original owner of the hotel in the world.

There was nothing else to do after that. Jiang You went back to his room to practice, and after dawn, he rode his donkey towards the city.

Jinguan City does not have an ancient city wall like Chang'an, but it still uses sandbags and steel wire to encircle the inner city, and there are sentries a few miles apart.

But this kind of protection can only protect against some ordinary people. For awakened people and warriors, it is useless.

There is a checkpoint ahead, which is open as an entrance to the city. There are four or five armed men on both sides holding automatic rifles and wearing black peaked caps with a white "P" mark on the cap.

Jiang You led the donkey to the checkpoint obediently.

Armed men surrounded him.

"The entrance fee is one hundred coins per person!"

"Flower coins? What is that? Can't the original currency work?"

"Huh? From out of town? The original one costs three hundred!"

Jiang You guessed that the flower coins should be the currency issued by the local forces in charge of Jinguan City. After paying three hundred yuan, when Jiang You was about to leave, the man still stopped him.

"I have to pay for the animals too, one hundred!"

Jiang You smiled and continued to give out 100 yuan. If he hadn't specially paid 300,000 yuan in cash this time, he wouldn't even be able to pay the city entrance fee at this time.

After Jiang You handed over, the armed officers did not ask him where he came from or where he was going, and just let him go.

"Compared to Chang'an, the guards here are really lax. The main purpose of setting up the checkpoints is to collect money!"

Jiang You shook his head, the power here must be too rough.

The road conditions in Jinguan City are not much better than in the suburbs. There are still craters on the road, and the water inside has turned black. A few larger craters too affected the traffic, so they were simply filled with soil. It is usually fine, but once it rains Rain, the soil turned into mud, and the soles of pedestrians and car tires were everywhere. The buildings on both sides were still in a dilapidated state, with black marks from the fire. Don't nail the broken windows with wooden strips. .

But the streets are very lively, with crowds of people everywhere. People who make a living are selling their handmade goods on the streets. The sky is full of excitement. There are very few cars on the driveway, and pedestrians directly occupy the main road. A vehicle honking lama passed by, and the turbulent flow of people was like the tide, being forcibly separated into two halves.

When Jiang You first arrived in Jinguan City, his first feeling was one word: chaos!

Even if Jiang You was walking down the street leading a donkey, he wouldn't look out of place.

Not far away, there was a pile of building ruins on one side of the street. Sitting on it were a group of dirty children with ragged clothes and messy hair. They had not taken a bath for a long time and were smelly. They saw Jiang You looking around. , everyone gathered around him immediately. They saw that Jiang You was here for the first time and shouted loudly that they wanted to be his guide for only twenty dollars.

Jiang You slapped away a few small hands that wanted to take things from him, and chose a smarter-looking child as his guide.

Just after Jiang You made his choice, the other children were still unwilling to give in and wanted to continue to pester. A man with a cigarette in his mouth walked out of the nearby store and yelled at the children. Except for the child selected by Jiang You, , the others immediately dispersed.

"Sir, you made the right choice by choosing me. I was born in the city since I was a child. Unlike them, they all came to the city later!"

The child was very articulate and began to communicate with Jiang You.

"Is this your first time coming to Jinguan City?"

"good!"

"The first thing I need to do is to find a place for you to stay. I know a hotel with reasonable prices, comfortable conditions, and hot water. It's the best. I'll take you there!"

"Can!"

The child led Jiang You forward, taking the initiative to introduce Jiang You to things in the city along the way.

Jiang You asked questions that interested him and found out the situation here.

The extraordinary organization that maintains order in the city is called the "Pao Brother Society". It is the most powerful organization. Those who receive city fees are theirs, and they are also responsible for basic public security management.

In addition to Pao Gehui, there are two major organizations entrenched here, namely Qingyang Palace and Baoguang Temple.

However, these two families are not involved in the management of the city. They only recruit believers to offer incense. The incense in Baoguang Temple is the most prosperous in the city.

There are countless other small organizations, which often recruit people. Recently, there is a newly emerged organization called Shuguang Society, which is recruiting people. If Jiang You is interested, you can check it out.

"Where is the Third Investigation Bureau here?" Jiang You was confused after hearing about the power here. No matter where he is, the Third Investigation Bureau is a behemoth that cannot be avoided. At this time, the Third Investigation Bureau is already well known to people. So Jiang You asked directly.

"Look at the shell craters here, hehe, they were left behind when Brother Paohui and the Third Investigation Bureau fought in the city!"

Jiang You saw that the child still understood this, so he asked a few questions in detail.

It turns out that Jingguan City, like other places, was under the control of the local Third Investigation Bureau. However, Brother Pao Club developed too fast, and the friction with the Third Investigation Bureau became increasingly fierce. In the end, a big fight broke out. Brother Pao Club relied on its large number of people. , forming a siege on the Third Investigation Bureau.

When the Third Investigation Bureau was in danger, they didn't care about anything else and directly used artillery shells to launch a fire attack on Brother Pao.

That night, half of the city was shattered, and I don't know how many people died. Naturally, the child didn't know the specific process, but from the way Brother Pao met now, he knew that the Third Investigation Bureau had failed.

After the two walked through two streets, an iron fence wall appeared next to it. The wall was full of tents and hungry and emaciated people.

"This used to be a city park, but now it's a refugee camp. Those people who lived here before were living here. There are five more places like this in total."

When the child said it, his tone was disgusted. These people were from around Jinguan City. After Tianbian, they were displaced and became refugees. They ran to the city to seek shelter. Brother Pao would be happy to see that there are so many cheap labor forces available, and he will also be included. Although it was taken in, it would cause hardship to the people at the bottom of the city.

The little living space that was already there was being squeezed out, and job opportunities were also reduced. These people all used fellow clubs to keep warm, and soon developed into black societies, many of which were murderers and hustlers, which made Jinguan City's social security It also became extremely bad.

The people in Paoge Club just collect money and don't care about trivial matters. Most of them just go through the motions. Many times they don't even come when they hear about the location. These clubs are smart and won't provoke them. They only pick on the soft persimmons. .

Jiang You looked at the refugee camp in the park. The original lawn grass had been trampled and was covered with mud. The people inside had lit bonfires during the day. Black smoke was lingering. Most of them were women and children. The men were all in the newly built factories in the city. Work and only come back at night.

People who live in the mud are all as dirty as mud monkeys. The tattered clothes on their bodies are so dirty that the underlying color cannot be seen. Their expressions are numb, and their eyes are as dull as stones, like walking zombies.

Some domestic garbage is also piled nearby, and many of them contain excrement, exuding a stench. The shops along the street opposite the park have open-air hot pots on the street. The ingredients are also cheap animal waste. At this time, the hot pot is The taste and stench mixed together to form a disgusting smell, which made Jiang You admire those who ate hot pot shirtless. How could they eat it without changing their expressions?

The child also quickened his pace here. After walking through this section and turning a corner, he came face to face with a magnificent temple built on a high place. The temple was shrouded in blue smoke and looked extremely mysterious. It overlooked the city from a high place. of all living beings.

"That's Baoguang Temple. The incense is in full bloom. It's very spiritual inside. It only costs at least fifty hua coins to burn a stick of incense inside and pray for the Buddha's blessing!"

The two of them walked forward for a while and entered a small alley. There were two-story buildings on both sides of the alley. Below were shops with open doors. People lived above them. There were yellow bamboo poles in the air, hanging clothes to dry.

This alley was like a maze. The child led Jiang You through twists and turns, and finally reached the hotel.

"Here we are, this is the Happy Hotel. This guide service is over. I wish you a happy stay in Jinguan City."

Jiang You paid and entered the hotel. The owner warmly welcomed him out and opened a room for Jiang You. It cost 700 yuan a night, which was indeed expensive.

Seeing Jiang You still holding the donkey, he asked him if the donkey was for sale. If so, he could take it from his side. Jiang You smiled and refused.

The shopkeeper told Jiang You that there were a lot of people stealing things here and it was not safe for the donkey in the back yard. It would be best to let him find a house, which would only cost a hundred coins.

Jiang You smiled and refused. The room was very simple, just a bathroom, a bed, and a chair.

After Jiang You returned to the room, through his perspective, he saw the child taking a fifty-dollar kickback from the shopkeeper, and then the shopkeeper whispered something in the child's ear.

Jiang You listened carefully and heard that the shopkeeper asked the child to find someone to steal his donkey at night, and he would open the door then.

"This has really become an industry!"

Jiang You was going to Emei on this trip, and he just passed by Jinguan City. However, in just one day, the things in his life made Jiang You feel eye-opening.

Jiang You made a circle around the room and then went downstairs to the yard. The donkey was eating the black beans Jiang You bought for it. Jiang You patted its head and said, "Don't let others steal it at night!"

The donkey was only focused on eating at this time and did not respond to Jiang You. I don’t know if he understood it, but Jiang You didn’t care and went out directly. This donkey must have survived in the mountains for so long. It must have two brushes. Yes, he doesn't need to worry about these little things.

His plan was to stay in Jinguan City for only one day and take a good look around the city at this time.

Jiang You walked on the street and wandered around the city, and found that there were many martial arts gyms in the city. There was one street full of martial arts gyms with various names. The doors were open, and the courtyards could be seen on the street.

At a glance, I saw many shirtless men, humming and driving wooden stakes in the courtyard, sweating profusely.

Jiang You could tell at a glance that he practiced Baimei Fist.

Baimei Quan originated from Mount Emei in the late Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that it was created by Taoist Master Baimei of Mount Emei. It is characterized by strong and ferocious, strong coherence, and broad lines; it includes "two rituals, three shapes, four marks, and five directions." , Five Elements, Liuhe, Six Jin, Eight Powers" and other key points.

Transformation between reality and reality, combining hardness and softness, softness can be transformed, and be good at change. If it is fired hard, it can easily destroy the stronghold. The energy is generated according to the energy, humming and haha, focusing on attack, good at using method, and winning by cleverness.

It is a pretty good little boxing type, but the people who can be used as advertisements at the door are ordinary people who have just started, and have not even reached Mingjin, so they can't see anything.

Someone at the door saw Jiang You looking inside, and asked him enthusiastically if he wanted to learn boxing. In today's world, you can't survive without a few skills.

After joining their Desheng Martial Arts School, if you are bullied outside in the future, you can still find a place with your senior brother and master, which is very cost-effective.

Jiang You smiled and refused. He finally understood that there were organizations all over Jinguan City. People who lived here had to join an organization to survive. This was also the reason why the city was in such a mess.

In addition to the martial arts hall, Jiang You also saw the existence of a red light district, which was similar to ancient brothels. They opened their doors openly and opened their doors for business, and there were pretty, white and clean girls standing at the door soliciting customers.

It can be said that the building is full of red sleeves. In addition to flesh and blood business, you can also listen to music and eat. When Jiang You passed by, the eyes of these girls all lit up.

I thought to myself that this was such a handsome young man who had emerged from nowhere. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His skin was fair and delicate, smoother than his own. The clothes he was wearing were clean and the fabrics looked luxurious. , his walking manners are also very good, if he can accept his customers, he can pay him.

The girls immediately began to shout loudly and compete with each other.

Jiang You smiled at them, and then walked quickly past them without any hesitation.

With Jiang You's smile, countless girls' hearts melted, and they felt that it was just the most beautiful scene in their lives. However, seeing that others looked down on them, they could only look at Jiang You's back and get excited.

From then on, Jiang You saw all the scenery in Jinguan City, which was impossible to exist in Qin Province. Gambling houses, arenas, leaf pavilions and other outrageous businesses all magically revived in this city.

Public security is indeed poor, with people fighting in the street, pickpockets stealing things, prostitutes working in the alleys, and giving speeches in the street.

Jiang You was attracted by the novelty of giving a speech in the street. It was already dusk and sunset, the sky was lit up by fire clouds, and the street lights in the city also lit up.

Jiang You saw a man standing on a wooden box deep in the alley, saying something loudly. He was surrounded by dirty workers after work, watching the fun.

This kind of free entertainment has become an indispensable spice in their lives. Many of the miseries of life can be relieved by everyone's laughter.

But at this time, the group of people joining in the fun were listening very seriously. The reason was that the person speaking above was reading poetry.

Behind the man was the gorgeous setting sun, and his body was reflected in black.

"I swallowed a moon made of iron.

They call it a screw.

I swallowed this industrial wastewater and the unemployment orders.

Those youth who are below the machine die early.

I swallow the rush and the displacement.

Swallow the pedestrian bridge, swallow the rusty life.

I couldn't swallow any more.

Everything I had swallowed was now rushing out of my throat.

A screw fell to the floor.

On this night of overtime work.

Landing vertically with a slight pop.

It won't attract anyone's attention.

Just like before.

The same night.

A man fell from a tall building to the ground.

"

As Jiang You listened to this man's poem, he saw the faces of the people around him gradually becoming serious. Then the man raised his arms and shouted, "Compatriots, we can't just be oppressed, exploited, treated like beasts, like pigs and dogs, like people." Living like a screw is miserable because we are not awakened and have no money to practice martial arts, but we are human beings and we must live. We also have the right to pursue a better life.

But this kind of power will not be given to us by others. We have to fight with our own hands. Our Dawn Society is such an organization. Join us and let the power of ordinary people gather together and let us roar! "

Everyone was listening attentively, but when they heard that he was still inviting people to join the meeting, they immediately started laughing.

"Haha, what I said before is pretty good, but what follows is not about recruiting people to join the club."

"That's right, I've joined four or five guilds, and the monthly membership fee is a hundred dollars, but I haven't seen any improvement."

Everyone laughed for a while, and seeing the sky getting dark, they all walked away arm in arm.

Jiang You stood there and looked carefully at the lonely young man on the stage. It was not that he was moved by the man's poem, but that he discovered that this man was actually someone he knew.

Lin Qingdu!

Lin Qingdu was met by Jiang You in Hanshui City. The first time they met was when Jiang You went to fish him out from the police station. According to his understanding, Lin Qingdu was a Taoist priest from Songfeng Temple in Luoshan Yumai. The master seemed to have joined After joining the Taoist Association, didn't he go down the mountain to experience the world of mortals? How could I meet him in Jinguan City?

At this time, Lin Qingdu's appearance had changed drastically. He was no longer dressed as a Taoist priest. His medium-long hair was messy in the night wind, his face was haggard, and the black jacket he was wearing was in tatters. He looked extremely downcast.

Lin Qingdu noticed that Jiang You hadn't left, so he thought he was joining the club, so he jumped off the box and asked, "Comrade, do you want to join our Dawn Club?"

"Taoist Xiaolin, you don't recognize me anymore. Please take a closer look and see who I am?"

Lin Qingdu heard this. Confused, I looked at Jiang You's face carefully, and then said hesitantly: "Are you Jiang You?"

It's no wonder that Lin Qingdu couldn't recognize him for a long time. After several promotions in strength, Jiang You's temperament has completely changed. People who are not very familiar with him are really difficult to recognize him for a while.

After Lin Qingdu recognized Jiang You, he was extremely happy and held Jiang You's hand, "Brother Jiang, why are you in Jinguan City? We meet you everywhere in life!"

"I also want to ask you, why did you become a poet instead of a Taoist priest? Is this a return to the secular world? And you are joining a gang."

"Hahaha, aren't you traveling in the world of mortals? You just have to go deep into it!"

The two met for the first time at the Hanshui City Police Station, and the second time was in Jinguan City, thousands of miles away. The two people's identities, appearances, and mentality have also undergone huge changes, and they can't help but sigh at the wonder of fate. .

Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is the ultimate happiness in the world. Lin Qingdu immediately took Jiang You to treat him to dinner.

Jiang You had nothing to do in Jinguan City and was happy to go.

Lin Qingdu had stayed in Jinguan City for a long time and was very familiar with the place. He took Jiang You and walked left and right in the alleys, and the two of them talked on the way.

"Brother Jiang, I heard that you returned to Qin Province and became the Young Master of Yama. Yama is a big organization. Do you have official business in Jinguan City?"

"Hahaha, no, I'm just going to visit Emei."

"Emei? Emei Sect? The Emei Sect is in a closed mountain state and is not born in the world. Haha, these are just for ordinary people like us. Brother Jiang and Young Master Yama are naturally different."

"No, I'm an ordinary person too! Can you stop developing in Hanshui City?"

"This is me. This is me"

Jiang You saw that Lin Qingdu was hesitant about this matter and knew that it was not convenient for him to answer, so he did not ask any more questions. It should be related to confidential information of the organization he joined.

"Brother, it's not that I didn't say it, it's true."

"Hahaha, I understand. If you ask me about Yama, I can't say no!"

"Haha, Dui Ji, Dui Ji, let's go. When we come to Jinguan City, how can we not eat hot pot? The hot pot here tastes extremely authentic. Here we are!"

The two came to a fly restaurant. It was already full, and the remaining seats could only be sat at the door. The wooden tables placed outside also felt greasy from the constant oil stains.

"Although this restaurant is simple and simple, it has no taste and is something that ordinary people can't find!"

Lin Qingdu shouted inside with a very familiar voice: "Boss, come on as usual, I have a guest today, plus a bottle of wine!"

Jiang You looked at Lin Qingdu sitting in front of him and found that he hadn't seen him for a long time. Lin Qingdu had indeed changed a lot!
