I can strengthen

Chapter 270 Shocked
"Why? Then Wulang City is no better than Suiyin County." A look of surprise appeared in Luo Yan's eyes.

Wulang City is a city, and Suiyin County is a county.

In his mind, Wulang City must be more prosperous than Suiyin County.

"I also want to live in Wulang City, but..." Zhang Hu shook his head and sighed, his expression very helpless.

"Brother Zhang is in trouble?" Luo Yan raised his eyebrows, his face showing surprise.

"Yeah, I'm in trouble."

Zhang Hu sighed again.

But he didn't say what his trouble was. After sighing, he said with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about you. What are your plans for going back to Suiyin County this time?"

"Plans? What plans can you have, let's take one step at a time." Luo Yan laughed.

Zhang Hu nodded: "When we get to Suiyin County, I'll ask Aunt Hong's grandfather to see if there is any suitable work for you."

After all, Luo Yan is a talent.

Moreover, traveling thousands of miles alone to return to Suiyin County from Shenxie City must be capable.

He felt that such a person should be competent for most positions in Suiyin County.

"Then thank you, Brother Zhang." Luo Yan said gratefully.

"Okay, now that the road is flat, you can rest up and rest for a while. After walking for a dozen miles, we will enter the mountain, and the road there is not smooth." Zhang Hu said.

"it is good."

Luo Yan closed his eyes and began to rest his mind.

As early as when he got out of the mountain forest, he saw through the reality of the three of them.

The two female relatives in the carriage compartment are extremely ordinary ordinary people.

As for Zhang Hu... Although he hid it well, he could feel the ferocity and wildness on his body, and his strength was roughly equivalent to the mid-to-late stage of Qi refining.

Most of these people drove an unremarkable carriage to Suiyin County, not visiting their relatives, but fleeing from disaster.

In other words, the troubles of the three of them are not small, and it is very likely that they will get involved in the troubles if they walk with these three people.

but.

After all, this tiger is the grandson-in-law of the blood vine cult's envoy.

With the help of Zhang Hu, he can easily break into the Blood Vine Sect, and then understand the Blood Vine Sect and the totems enshrined by the Blood Vine Sect.

Compared with these benefits, the mere troubles are naturally not worth mentioning.

After all, if Zhang Hu and the others escaped here, how could they encounter any serious trouble?
Time passed.

After the twenty-mile official road passed, the carriage got into the mountain forest and entered a tree-lined path, and began to bump up and down.

"Brother, is the black scorpion in your palm the totem of the Divine Scorpion City?"

At this time, Zhang Hu suddenly opened his mouth and asked abruptly.

Luo Yan opened his eyes, nodded and said: "A rubbing given by the Ye Family of the Divine Scorpion City, there is still some power in it that can be absorbed..."

"Brother, be humble. The power inside is vast, how can it be a little bit? Shenscorpion City is indeed a prosperous city in legends, stronger than Wulang City." Zhang Hu praised.

When he was in Wulang City, he was a member of Wulang Cult, and he also had totem rubbings on his body.

At the same time, the power of his totem rubbing belongs to himself.

The rubbing is the hub between him and the totem. As long as he prays and meditates, he can absorb the power in the dark and strengthen himself through the rubbing.

But Luo Yan's totem rubbing is not the case. All the power is in the rubbing, not Luo Yan's. Luo Yan can use the power in it to strengthen his body, but use a little bit less.

It's just that the power in the rubbing is huge, so it makes him look sideways.

"It's not yours after all, so use a little less." Luo Yan replied with a wry smile.

The power in the black scorpion rubbings is roughly equivalent to all the mana in his dantian at this time.

In the eyes of Qi refining monks like Zhang Hu, it really can be called the word "vast".

"It's okay, when you arrive in Suiyin County, I will introduce you to join the Blood Vine Sect, and see if you can get the favor of God, and give you the Blood Vine Rubbing Seal." Zhang Hu grinned.

The so-called Shangshen is the sin clan's name for the enshrined totem.

If the sinners want to cultivate, they must prostrate themselves in front of the totem and sincerely kowtow in prayer.

If you get the favor of the god behind the totem, you will give a rubbing, and only with a rubbing can you absorb the power in the dark and practice.

For all sinners, Zhang Hu's promise can make them ecstatic.

But at this moment, Luo Yan felt a sudden in his heart, and shouted that something was wrong.

His essence is an immortal cultivator, if he kowtows in front of the blood vine and prays, he will directly expose his identity!

There were 1 resistances in his heart, but facing Zhang Hu, he could only grin the corners of his mouth and try to show a surprised expression.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"Haha, you and I are from the same family, and we happened to meet. This shows that you and I are destined to help you. What's more, it's still unknown whether you will be favored, and brothers don't have to be happy too early."

Zhang Hu waved his hand indifferently, a trace of complacency appeared in his heart.

This Fan is taller and more handsome than him.

But what about him?
He has a background and an identity in Suiyin County!

Compared with Zhang Fan, he is just a brother!

Luo Yan didn't know what Zhang Hu was thinking, and was about to change Zhang Hu's memory and change Zhang Hu's thoughts, but at this moment, his keen perception suddenly caught movement from a distance.

It's footsteps.

high speed!

There is also the sound of long knives cutting branches and leaves!
Luo Yan's eyes flashed, and he quickly glanced at the surrounding environment.

This is a small road, just enough to accommodate a carriage.

There are towering trees on both sides, with dense branches and leaves covering the sky.

People are approaching quickly from both sides.

And the target is obviously their carriage.

"It seems that the enemy of this tiger has been lying in ambush here for a long time."

Luo Yan thought secretly in his heart, his thoughts turned quickly, and he judged the enemy's strength according to the speed at which the enemy approached.

Like Zhang Hu, he has the strength in the middle and late stages of Qi refining.

It's just the number of people, there are as many as eight people.

"Be careful, someone is coming."

After waiting for two seconds, Luo Yan reminded in a deep voice.

"What?" Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, pulled out a big knife, jumped off the carriage, and slashed to the left.

Keng!
With a crisp sound, his long knife collided with the knife protruding from behind the tree, trembling violently.

"Brother Zhang, please protect my wife and daughter."

Zhang Hu roared, but within a few seconds, three more enemies appeared beside him.

However, his strength is extremely strong, with one against four, they are evenly matched.

"Brother Tiger!"

"father!"

The female family members in the carriage were belatedly aware of the accident, and they all got out of the curtain, looking nervously at Zhang Hu who was fighting with the enemy.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Zhang will be fine."

Luo Yan said a word of comfort, and then his body rioted, turning into an afterimage, and went straight to the right.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Four thunderous sounds sounded almost simultaneously.

Before the four afterimages transformed by Luo Yan disappeared, his body had already returned to the carriage.

And until this moment, the four people who came out from the right side slowly fell backwards, all of them had a big hole in their chest, and even their hearts were shattered.

This scene stunned the two female relatives.

Especially Zhao Xiaoying, looking at Luo Yan at this moment, opened her small mouth slightly, she could stuff an egg.

Although Zhang Hu was fighting with the four people, his attention was all on the two female relatives, so he also saw the scene of Luo Yan destroying the four people on the right.

While being shocked by Luo Yan's strength in his heart, he quickly said gratefully: "Thank you brother! Wait a little longer, brother, I will send these four people back to the west right away!"

"Hands up."

Luo Yan smiled lightly.

Such an enemy, in fact, he didn't need to do anything at all, and he was able to eliminate the four of them while sitting in the carriage.

Getting off the carriage and punching the four of them was already hiding his strength.

Luo Yan instantly killed four people, not only Zhang Hu, but also the four people who attacked Zhang Hu.

Compared to Zhang Hu's pleasant surprise, the four of them were terrified. For a while, their aura was a little weaker, but Zhang Hu caught one of them and killed one of them directly.

"run!"

The remaining three people no longer hesitated, turned and ran.

Zhang Hu caught up with two of them, and with a slash of his long knife, two more corpses were left behind, but the last one was far away from him...

He was hesitating whether to continue to catch up.

At this time, a piercing sound came from the ears.

Before he could recover, he saw the head of the last person was blasted through, and then he was thrown heavily on the ground, leaving only his limbs twitching slightly.

"So strong!"

Zhang Hu's pupils shrank slightly.

If the target is him with such hidden weapon techniques and power, he will definitely not be spared!

"Brother Zhang Fan, I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

Zhang Hu put away his knife, returned to the carriage, and looked at Luo Yan in surprise.

He guessed that Luo Yan had some strength, but he didn't expect that Luo Yan's strength would be so terrifying, even far surpassing him.

"It's nothing, there are many people in Shenscorpion City who are stronger than me." Luo Yan said modestly.

"As expected of someone who came from Dacheng." Zhang Hu marveled, but he knew it in his heart.

After all, he is a person from Shenscorpion City. In Shenscorpion City, he may be just an inconspicuous little person, but in a rural place like them, he is a crossing sea dragon.

It is not surprising to have such strength.

"Thank you for saving my husband." Zhao Honggu said with the same expression of gratitude.

"Brother Zhang is powerful, even if I don't make a move, it will only take half a minute more, and it's not a matter of saving or not." Luo Yan was still humble.

"Hey, brother, what you said is reasonable." Zhang Hu laughed loudly, and he was very grateful for Luo Yan's words.

Although the situation was critical just now, without Luo Yan, the other four captured his wife and daughter. He was in a panic and had no choice but to die.

But in the face of his own woman, of course he can't say that he can't do it!
Luo Yan's words undoubtedly gave him enough face, and made him even more fond of Luo Yan.

"Xiaoying, thank you, Uncle Zhang." Zhang Hu said again.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Zhang Xiaoying shrank behind Zhao Honggu and said sweetly, her eyes filled with awe and admiration.

"Brother Zhang, why are you being polite to me?" Luo Yan had no choice but to reach out and rub Xiaoying's head, but when he thought about whether a man and a woman would kiss or not, he extinguished his thoughts.

In this world, people like Zhang Xiaoying have reached the age to talk about marriage.

"Haha, I see brother, you are all alone, why don't you just take my daughter in and kiss her better?"

"This……"

Luo Yan was taken aback by Zhang Hu's words.

I just met once, and I gave it to my daughter, and there is such a father?

Zhao Honggu quickly winked, and at the same time pinched Zhang Hu hard.

Zhang Xiaoying's small face also flushed directly, and she hid behind Zhao Honggu.

Luo Yan quickly opened his mouth and refused, "Brother Zhang, don't make fun of me. My real age is probably two years older than yours."

"How old are you?" Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"37." Luo Yan laughed.

"37?!" Zhang Hu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, "But I see you, it's only 25 at most."

Zhao Honggu and Zhang Xiaoying also looked at Luo Yan in surprise, not believing that Luo Yan was already 37 years old.

After all, just looking at his appearance, Luo Yan is at least 20 years younger than Zhang Hu.

"You just look younger." Luo Yan explained with a smile.

"Ruo 37 is indeed two years older than me..." Zhang Hu looked Luo Yan up and down, the shock in his eyes still remained, and he murmured, "So, I'm going to call you Brother Zhang."

"Brother Zhang should call me by my name. I'm really not used to calling me brother all of a sudden." Luo Yan said.

"Well... look at your appearance, you really don't look like a 37-year-old person." Zhang Hu was still a little suspicious, looked at Luo Yan, and continued to speak surprisingly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are 37 years old. A monk has a long life span and is a round older. What’s the point? Why don’t Da Shilun get married as usual?”

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaoying couldn't take it anymore, stomped her feet angrily, and blushed.

"What? You don't want to?" Zhang Hu glared at Zhang Xiaoying who was hiding behind Zhao Honggu.

"I...I..." Zhang Xiaoying's face turned even redder. She glanced at Luo Yan secretly, and then stammered, "How can I be worthy of someone like Uncle Zhang?"

"That's true..." Zhang Hu nodded in agreement.

"What did Brother Zhang say? I'm not good enough for a young and beautiful girl like Xiaoying." Luo Yan said hastily.

"Okay, let's talk about these things when we get back to Suiyin County." Zhang Hu was about to say something, but Zhao Honggu directly pulled him, interrupted his words, and gave him a wink at the same time.

"Well, we'll talk about it when we go back to Suiyin County." Zhang Hu chuckled, obviously still wanting to marry his daughter to Luo Yan.

He is backed by an angel.

When we arrived in Suiyin County, how difficult would it be to marry a girl?
As for this, Luo Yan felt helpless, and could only take one step at a time.

The carriage continued to move forward, and with a small episode, Zhang Hu became more enthusiastic about Luo Yan.

So it went on for another day and night.

Finally, when night fell on the second day, a county town located deep in the mountains appeared before Luo Yan's eyes.

What came into view was the gray city wall ten feet high, the city wall was vicissitudes, with mottled traces of the years.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a gray line on the horizon.

And behind the gray line, you can still see a mountain standing in the center of the county seat. The mountain is conical in shape, with red lights faintly visible, as if it is covered with red lanterns.

"Sacred Mountain."

Luo Yan has a map and knows the name of that mountain.

That mountain does not have a name, but the locals call it Shenshan. Above the Shenshan is the place where the totems of Suiyin County live!

"finally reached……"

Looking at the approaching Suiyin County, Zhang Hu completely relaxed, with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Yes, here we are."

Luo Yan was smiling, but felt a little heavy in his heart.

The mission has arrived, which also means that the easy life of traveling is over, and next, he has to do the mission.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the city.

What Luo Yan didn't expect was that Suiyin County was heavily fortified, even entering the city would require strict investigations.

And when he entered the city gate, he was stopped by two guards.

"Where's your blood vine talisman?" One of the guards looked at Luo Yan and asked coldly.

Blood Vine Talisman?

Luo Yan was stunned.

There was nothing in the envelope, and even in the introduction about Suiyin County in the envelope, there was no mention of the Blood Vine Talisman.

He glanced at Zhang Hu and the three of them, sure enough, all three had it, but he didn't.

"My lord, my brother left home when he was three years old, and he just returned to Suiyin County today. Can you accommodate me?" Zhang Hu said with a smile.

"Little brother, my grandfather is Zhao Qianqiu. This is a token of my Zhao family. Please let me in." Zhao Honggu also got out, took out a jade pendant, and waved it at the two guards.

"It turned out to be a relative of God Envoy Zhao."

Seeing the jade pendant, the two guards changed their colors slightly, and their attitudes immediately became respectful.

They hurriedly cupped their hands, but there was hesitation behind them: "Usually, if you say a word, you can bring a hundred strangers into the city. But now, the god sacrifice is about to begin... Several god envoys have said that outsiders are not allowed to enter Sui Yin county."

"God sacrifice?"

Luo Yan's heart moved slightly, looking at the two guards, he calmly said: "I am not an outsider, I was born in Suiyin County, how can I be considered an outsider?"

"That's right. My brother is from Suiyin County. His parents are both in Suiyin County. He just doesn't have a blood rattan talisman. Just make one for him." Zhang Hu said impatiently.

"This……"

The two still hesitated.

After a few seconds, one of them looked at Luo Yan and asked, "Dare to ask this brother, what are your parents' names."

"My father Zhang Ankang, my mother Li Chunju." Luo Yan replied directly.

"Zhang Ankang, Li Chunju..." One of the guards lowered his head and murmured. After muttering a few words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Yan in disbelief, "You are Zhang Fan?!"

Another guard suddenly looked at Luo Yan and exclaimed, "Zhang Fan?! Are you Zhang Fan?"

The two looked shocked, and the people around them surrounded Zhang Fan, looking at Zhang Fan in shock and whispering at the same time.

"Zhang Fan?"

"Is he Zhang Fan?"

"Zhang Fan actually appeared!"

"Brother, are you the son of the leader of the Blood Vine Sect?" Zhang Hu asked Luo Yan in a low voice while seeing the battle.

Luo Yan was also taken aback, he didn't expect the guards to recognize him.

It stands to reason that Zhang Fan's parents died, he left home at the age of three, and returned only at 37, so he should be an inconspicuous and transparent person.

But looking at it now, what kind of transparent person is he? He is clearly a celebrity, and the kind that is well-known to everyone!

"What is missing from the mission information?"

Luo Yan was puzzled, looked at the two guards, and asked in surprise, "You know me?"

"Of course I do. The saint has been waiting for you to come back. How could we not know you?"

The guard was ecstatic, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Quickly, go and inform the saint, and say that Zhang Fan is back."

The voice did not fall.

Luo Yan saw several figures jumping out, and ran towards the depths of the county excitedly.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to know the saint. What is your relationship with that saint?" Zhang Hu asked in a low voice.

He originally thought that his wife's grandfather was an envoy of God, so his background was amazing.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fan knew the saint directly!
And it seems that he has an irresistible relationship with the saint!
This made him feel unbelievable, and he was shocked!

No wonder... No wonder Zhang Fan looked down on his daughter.

With a saint, why do you need his daughter?

"Saint? I left home when I was three years old. How did this saint know me..." Luo Yan was full of puzzlement.
