Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 20 Good News Bad News
Two days later, Zhao Lin heard a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that after Qian Sanming collected the money and helped with the management, news came out from the Yamen that his elder brother Zhao Shan would be released soon.

The family is about to be reunited, and while Zhao Lin is relieved, he also feels hard to let go.

First encounter natural disasters, and then encounter man-made disasters, fate is always controlled by others, this is the sorrow of the weak.

At the end of the day, you have to say thank you.

The bad news is that there are suddenly many new faces in the villages and towns around Mount Baitou. They inquire openly and secretly whether anyone has entered the deep mountains in the past few days and what they have seen.

There were also some weird gossips.

Liu Dazhu from the village went to the market in the morning, and when he came back, he talked about a strange incident at the head of the village.

"Have you heard? The day before yesterday, Peng Qi from Dashe Village went to the mountain to gather medicine, and saw a bare-bottomed doll in a red bellyband running around at the foot of the old mountain."

"Peng Qi wondered who lost the child in such a cold day, and wanted to go over and ask for clarification, but he didn't expect the bare-bottomed doll to disappear into the soil in a flash!"

"He thought something was wrong, so he dug the soil with a shovel, and guess what? There was a big mallet (ginseng) with six-pin leaves growing in the ground!"

The villagers gathered around, and someone asked, "What happened next?"

"Peng Qi forgot to tie the red string, and half of the ginseng dug up ran away!" Liu Dazhu said regretfully.

"Fuck, he forgot such an important matter, I think he is a stick."

The surrounding villagers said angrily.

"You're nothing. I heard that a fox in Baitou Mountain recently became a spirit and turned into a beautiful woman, specially to absorb the yang energy of passers-by." The village elder's son also joined in the chat.

"Really?" His words immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"Really! Several hunters have seen it. The vixen is wearing a red dress. As long as she takes a look at it, she will have a serious illness when she returns home and won't be able to get out of bed for a few days."

The village elder's son was spitting all over the place, just like what he saw with his own eyes.

"Oh my god, the vixen is too scary, what does it look like? Tell me in detail..."

The more Zhao Lin heard it, the more something went wrong. This story was obviously fabricated by someone.

It is very likely that Beard is investigating the disappearance of his subordinates.

Spread the word through people's curiosity.

Then in the past few days, whoever enters the mountain and sees something will slowly surface, which is much more efficient than asking people one by one.

"This bandit leader is not simple!"

Zhao Lin frowned secretly, and couldn't help remembering what Liang Song had said about the Diamond Mountain Leopard.

Drilling Mountain Leopard, whose real name is Yang Dazhi, was logging on a forest farm in his early years and accidentally saved an old man who was seriously injured and was about to freeze to death.

Fortunately for Yang Dazhi, the old man is a master of martial arts. After he came back to life, he saw that he was a piece of material for martial arts, so he taught him all his abilities.

Yang Dazhi was willing to endure hardships, and he broke through the strength realm and entered the Qi realm in less than three years.

Once he got into an argument with the forest farm because of a trivial matter, and beat him to death by mistake.

Simply do one thing and keep going, swept away the property, pulled up the team, went into the mountain to make a beard, and the bandit called the mountain leopard.

The Drilling Mountain Leopard haunts the deep mountains all the year round, is very familiar with the terrain, and is shrewd and decisive in its actions. The government has failed several times to chase and suppress it, but its power has grown stronger and stronger.

Not only that, Huzi also developed a lot of "peripheral" personnel, who participated in robbery or did some chores during the slack season, picked up the hoe when the farming was busy, and went home to farm.

These people are scattered all over the county, acting as Huzi's eyeliner, which is also one of the reasons why Huzi is so hard to kill.

After provoking such an organization, Zhao Lin felt a deep sense of crisis.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, beards are so cunning, as long as they show their feet, they may be suspected of them.

But he didn't regret it, and he would do the same thing again.

"How is my brother, is your injury better?"

Zhao Lin came to Baiqiao Village every day to meet and exchange news with Zhou Paotou and others.

He walked into Zhou Paotou's house, didn't see Zhu Dachun, so he asked casually.

Liang Song grinned, "Don't worry, Widow Wang is taking good care of you."

Zhao Lin smiled and said: "In the past two days, someone asked you if you went to the mountain the day before yesterday?"

Since returning from hunting, the small group of four has gradually been dominated by Zhao Lin whether it is making decisions or controlling topics.

Zhou Paotou and others, including Zhao Lin himself, didn't notice this and just took it for granted.

Liang Song nodded and replied, "Someone asked, and there was more than one, and I answered them all with the same words."

Zhou Pao's face showed worry, "How about we go back secretly and dispose of the corpse again? I'm worried that some beasts will find the scent and drag the corpse out..."

"No!"

Zhao Lin frowned and said, "Huzi is not a god, he can pinch and count, and it's not so easy to find us, so don't mess yourself up."

Liang Song also said: "Stay unchanged to meet all changes. If someone asks, just say what was discussed in advance. Anyway, we have those who are not present..."

"Alibi." Zhao Lin reminded.

"Yes, alibi!" Liang Song continued.

Zhou Paotou knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and said humbly: "I was thinking about it. There must be beards watching all the checkpoints in the mountains. It's okay if you don't go. If you go, it's like throwing yourself into a trap."

Zhao Lin didn't delve into it further, and changed the topic: "By the way, when will Xiong Fudan and Xihao Mane make a move?"

This is the main purpose of his visit today.

Huzi's behavior made Zhao Lin vigilant, and he had a strong idea of ​​martial arts in his heart.

In the past two days, he seriously reviewed the experience of fighting Huzi.

If he didn't rely on a sneak attack, he would definitely not be the opponent of the bearded leader Diao Liu. Even the black-faced man who was not very skilled in martial arts almost slashed him.

Assuming the roles were reversed, and Zhao Lin was riding a horse and was attacked by the same method, he might die worse than Diao Liu.

I have all the strength, but I don't understand martial arts. It's like giving an ancient soldier an AK. It can only be used to hit people, and it can't exert the true power of the weapon at all.

Diao Liu is at the second level of strength, and even if he is so difficult to deal with, if he faces a third-level or even stronger master of Qi, he will probably have to kill him immediately.

Only force can protect yourself and your family.

Simply thinking about how to destroy evidence and eliminate doubts is essentially a passive way of dealing with problems.

So as soon as the elder brother's affairs became clear, Zhao Lin was ready to realize his hunting and practice martial arts as soon as possible.

Hearing Zhao Lin's question about this matter, Zhou Paotou showed embarrassment, "The rumors are so tight now that I dare not go out."

Zhao Lin thought for a while and said, "It's good to be cautious. You can go and inspect it empty-handed, and leave the things at home for now, so you don't have to worry about it."

"We will go with you during the transaction, don't worry."

Zhou Paotou breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "That's fine, I'll do as you said."

……

At night, Zhao Shan turned over and sat up, looked around the shed with his head, made sure that everyone else was asleep, and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.

The porcelain bottle was given to him by the supervisor, who said that the family had established a good relationship for him, and the medicine in the bottle was for him to pretend to be sick.

"The medicine in it is yellow mustard seed, half of which is taken internally and half of which is applied to the face."

"By tomorrow, you will have a high fever, your face will be sallow, and you will have a lot of blisters. We will send you out conveniently."

Zhao Shan couldn't believe his ears, he knew exactly what was going on in his family, where did he get the money to clear up the relationship?
"Really? Who cleared the relationship?"

"Don't ask, I don't know." The supervisor kept his mouth shut.

Zhao Shan looked at the bottle in his hand, and thought to himself, don't you just use poison to hurt me?
The supervisor saw his thoughts at a glance, and said with a sneer, "Don't worry, you don't need to be so troublesome."

Zhao Shan thought it was the same, if he really wanted to harm him, he would be killed if he just caused an accident, there was no need to spend so much trouble, and it would be easy to fall into the trap.

After much deliberation, Zhao Shan finally made up his mind to open the porcelain vase...
