in the edge

Chapter 397 Version Change
Ordinary strong people earn gold and silver, while capable strong people seek opportunities.

Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian consider themselves to be capable strong men, so they will actively pursue opportunities to become stronger, such as magical weapons, exercises, the possibility of fighting with others, or where they are buried. Treasure... This is why Wang Tonggong immediately thought of spreading some news related to the treasure, just because this thing is something he also wants.

As for those evil masters Hu Sanbian said...

They want antiques.

Antiques, the older they are, the better. God knows why these things that were originally only worth a little money suddenly became more valuable than human life. But according to Hu Sanbian, these masters from Songzhou even paid a lot of money for one or two antiques. They have all committed the brutal act of directly cleaning out a dock.

"It turns out to be Songzhou."

Wang Tonggong understood immediately.

Songzhou is a place with outstanding people. Of course, this is not a good evaluation, but it is actually an adjective - "outstanding people". It refers to the fact that there are many powerful people in the local area and there are bosses everywhere. People are always picking up knives to attack, which leads to that There are many heroes who kill many people in this place. As for the word "earth spirit", it is also a way to describe it.

People in that place are keen on worshiping various gods.

The gods worshiped by people in Songzhou are not the popular gods outside. The gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas enshrined in temples and Taoist temples outside are not common in Songzhou. Instead, they are those weird gods that few people know about. They are everywhere - these gods are small, but their appeal is not weak at all. In order to protect the gods they worship, even the most ordinary Songzhou people dare to kill people with a knife.

"How dare you go against him?"

Speaking of the little giant who was cooking mushroom soup in the kitchen, the faces of these Songzhou people were full of awe and admiration.

"Just like that monster."

"……what?"

This fighting method is so similar to that of the little giant. The two are exactly the same!
"Maybe this monster ran away from Songzhou!"

Hu Sanbian was already paralyzed. He had heard that these Songzhou people were terrifyingly strong, so he came up with this idea. But who would have thought that these Songzhou people were even more useless than him. They were tied into a ball without even being beaten. .

Yes, he should have thought of it a long time ago. After a few days of grinding, I am afraid that it has made him stupid. He should have thought of the weirdness of this little giant.

"It's probably not going to be easy for you here. I'll find an opportunity to send the news out in two days. It just so happens that a few of my friends have been lured to Sanshan Town by your rumor. Just ask them to send the message... Oops. !”

Naturally, such a search was unlikely to have any effect, so they followed the source of the news and directly blocked the door of the dilapidated inn.

"At that time, the ancestral spirit returned to its homeland and passed down its faith and strength. However, the powerful evil demon still pursued it, and the ancestral spirit was also killed by this monster... How dare you attack him? He is incredibly strong!"

Now that Hu Sanbian said it, he remembered that this fighting method was very similar to that of those Songzhou people. Although those Songzhou people with exaggerated tattoos looked like they were bare-handed, they actually used their hands. , but can use his body to beat the evil edge.

No one knows how these Songzhou people did it. They only know that these Songzhou people are very, very strong.

But immediately, he turned to look at Hu Sanbian.

Some Songzhou people, even if they don't use fierce weapons, can still fight with them as the leader of the army, and sometimes even suppress them.

It doesn't make sense. Aren't these Songzhou people quite ferocious? Why all of a sudden...

You must know that they are all wealthy people traveling in the world, and they are all well-connected. If the monster really has a reputation...how could they not know?
"He once fought with our ancestral spirits."

As his thoughts continued, Wang Tonggong even felt that he had discovered the answer!
This might really be a monster that escaped from Songzhou!

Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanhuan were stunned.

There were two battles, one against him and one against Hu Sanbian. Because everything happened too fast, and the gap between them was too huge, the battle was almost like an adult beating a child, but it was He almost forgot this most important detail - you must know that for military leaders like them, no matter how powerful they are in martial arts, they still need a fierce weapon carrying evil energy as the real source of power.

"That's it? That's it? I still swung my sword, but what about them? What did they do?"

Wang Tonggong subconsciously looked at the inn's kitchen.

"My friend knows so much, but I wonder what he did before?"

So, five more people from Songzhou were tied up next to the two millstones in the backyard.

And compared to outsiders like them, Songzhou people do have a rather evil nature.

"Haven't you heard of his reputation?"

Hu Sanbian, who was wearing a halter, was reluctant to give up his hand, so he nodded to Wang Tonggong in response.

"Who am I asking you to ask me?"

And if you think about it this way, it is very likely that there are really some treasures buried in Sanshan Town, such as things related to the ancestors of the Songzhou people, or the gods they worshiped... That's why this little giant is Only when you come here can you hide in this Sanshan Town!
"Done!"

This forced them to stop whispering and continue to grind.

Wang Tonggong felt that he had found the nemesis of this little giant.

It seems that he is not on the same path as the military leaders like them.

"I used to be a crook, responsible for helping people sell stolen goods."

"Didn't you say these Songzhou people are masters?"

From beginning to end, this little giant never took out any weapon.

Before he finished speaking, two bricks flew over and hit Hu Sanbian and Wang Tonggong.

Because there are too many people who are slashing with knives on weekdays, many masters have been involved in this place. Although this place is also troubled, there are always new masters who can emerge again.

But the little giant didn't even have half a weapon on him.

Wang Tonggong immediately became anxious, and his eyes towards Hu Sanbian became increasingly unkind.

"This……"

Those people from Songzhou who were tied with ropes also looked puzzled.

But even if he was pulling the strings, Hu Sanbian still had some methods. It was obvious that Hu Sanbian had been pulling the strings and didn't go anywhere, but three days later, the fake news they made up was spread out—— Seven days later, those Songzhou people, who were covered in tattoos and looked fierce, also broke into Sanshan Town and began a search all over the place.

Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian choked.

They had also thought about how the little giant would be described, but they did not expect that it would be described in such a way as to be like a myth or legend - some ancestral spirit or some evil demon. Are these Songzhou people crazy?
"Then why are you still fighting him? Don't you think he is ridiculously strong?"

"He is the enemy of the ancestral spirit, so of course we have to fight him... What? Will he die? This kind of thing doesn't matter. Fighting against a powerful enemy is also an honor in itself."

Several tattooed Songzhou people said so, with piety written all over their faces.

Speaking of which, they couldn't continue talking for the whole day. Obviously, they couldn't get any effective information from these Songzhou people. But in addition to effective information, they got much more.

It was two days after these Songzhou people were captured. Since there were too many large human-shaped animals, the post station decided after a meeting that the seven captives who were captured alive would be tortured in turn - since it involves taking turns, it must be There was a question of how much work they had to do. Two Jianghu people faced off against five people from Songzhou who were clinging to each other. Both sides almost lost their brains.

However, fighting is not allowed in the backyard of the inn. Only two people can use violence here, one is the little giant, and the other is the nameless boy who holds a small whip and acts as a supervisor.

So what was supposed to be a fight quickly turned into a scolding war.

For things like swearing, you must choose some insults that the other party can understand, but it is just repeating the other person's family and relatives. This kind of attack will become less painful after a long time, so after scolding all morning, this The squabbling quickly turned to a discussion about who was worse.

Men definitely cannot say that they are incompetent, which is undoubtedly the biggest insult to strong men like them.

So they work hard to prove themselves through words.

"Then what? So what if you can resist the evil spirit? Are you still a bunch of useless people without your weapons?"

People in Songzhou clamored like this.

"I can defeat you with my bare hands without using a weapon. Don't you believe me?"

"Ah."

Wang Tonggong sneered.

"With bare hands, where did your strength come from? It wasn't the urine of your gods that gave it to you, right?"

"madness."

A relatively calm-looking Songzhou native couldn't stand it anymore.

"These people don't understand. They have no pious heart at all. Their will is as fragile as grass. We don't need to pay attention to them at all."

"Retarded."

Hu Sanbian scolded him back without showing any signs of weakness.

However, despite the verbal abuse, Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian felt some inexplicable fluctuations in their hearts. In fact, with their current strength, they have also discovered some limitations of their own bodies. For example, traditional martial arts training is too difficult. Slow, but if you want to kill people, you need to resist the huge evil energy backlash. Their pursuit of strength seems to have reached a dead end. No matter how they continue to move forward, the upper limit seems to have been locked.

But in recent days, when they were yelling at these Songzhou people, they suddenly felt something new.

As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Perhaps the methods of these Songzhou people can take them one step further.

"But...do you really want to believe in those evil things?"

At midnight, Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian could not sleep.

Wang Tonggong couldn't hold back his face. He couldn't bear the thought of a chivalrous man from a rich family worshiping some local god. As for Hu Sanbian, he was indeed a con man who could pretend to be anything. There is nothing wrong with being a believer, but pretending to believe is not true belief after all.

"So...actually we should refine their ideas."

Hu Sanbian, who couldn't sleep, turned over and sat up and started rubbing his head.

"Do we not need to believe in any gods, but the state when we worship gods? Think about it, when you are in a daze, are you acting vigorously and resolutely, invincible, and even evil spirits may not be able to interfere? Come to you, after all, you are more evil than those evil spirits..."

"That seems to be the case!"

Wang Tonggong also sat up.

He has never had such an experience, but he has seen other people become stunned - for example, the Songzhou people who clamored to beat them to death before, that stunned look is actually no different from the evil spirit entering the brain.

No, it may be more serious than the evil spirit entering the brain. After all, many evil spirits entering the brain are keen on killing people, but at least they still retain something that can be called rational.

But those Songzhou people...

It's really hard to say.

"If you are not crazy, you are not alive... Although I forgot where this sentence came from, someone did say something similar."

Hu Sanbian continued to summarize.

"Actually, we are on this path now. We are using our own will to control the evil spirit. But if we want to go further, we must make our will stronger, so that we can control the evil spirit more deeply... No, even There is no need for evil spirits, the will itself can become power, just like those people from Songzhou!"

"Yes! It's true!"

Wang Tonggong nodded repeatedly.

"Looking at it this way, is the evil spirit equivalent to the power of an individual? It's just that the power of these dead people is too weak, and they need the living to bring them together... In other words, will is the power itself!"

Having said this, Wang Tonggong patted his head.

At this moment, his mind was clearer than ever.

What he couldn't understand before has finally become clear. The way forward that he couldn't find before now also appears in front of him - a prison sentence actually gave him such an opportunity. Is this the luck of God or is it... A gift from the gods?

Wang Tonggong didn't know that he was no longer in the mood to think about these things at this moment.

All he knew was that neither he nor Hu Sanbian fell asleep that night.

Neither of them are mediocre, and one night is enough for them to deduce this set of things into a rough outline. The more the deduction goes on, the more excited they become, just because in addition to the slow-moving martial arts, there are also Apart from the obvious evil aura on the ceiling, they finally found another way to continue to become stronger.

"This is a secret between us, none of us should tell it."

When they looked at each other again, Wang Tonggong and Hu Sanbian held each other's hands.

"Only we know."

"Well, only we know."

Five other hands also covered the two held hands. They were five people from Songzhou who had been awakened long ago.

"I won't tell anyone either."

Another slightly smaller hand covered it, it was the nameless boy who was also awakened.
