Eternal Sword

Chapter 253 The Destined Person
No matter how powerful these villagers were, they had never seen anyone use such tactics as Chen Tang. They were frightened for a moment and dared not step forward.

The few people who had been shouting the loudest in the crowd just now were now as quiet as chickens, with their heads lowered, not daring to look Chen Tang in the eye.

When Hong Qinhu saw Chen Tang's methods, he was stunned for a moment, and then a light appeared in his eyes.

He had long heard of the high-flying and powerful martial arts in the martial arts world that his grandfather had told him about. Only after seeing them today did he realize how powerful they were and he couldn't help but feel a yearning for them.

"what!"

At this moment, a shrill howl came from outside the door.

"The witch is coming!"

The crowd dispersed, and not far away, a wrinkled old woman slowly stood up from beside the bodies of the three Wang brothers, holding a cane, and walked towards this side, staring at Chen Tang viciously.

"devil!"

The witch pointed at Chen Tang, her face full of resentment, and gnashed her teeth as she said, "This man is possessed by a demon, and will surely bear the wrath of the dragon!"

"There is no such thing as divine punishment."

Chen Tang walked out of the house and looked around.

Many villagers dispersed, fearing that Chen Tang would suddenly attack and hurt others again.

Chen Tang said, "Outside this village, there are Taoist priests from the Xuantian Sect guarding this place. Anyone who leaves will be killed. The so-called heavenly punishment is just something made up to scare people."

"You bullshit!"

A trace of panic flashed in the witch's eyes, and she shouted: "Devil, you are misleading people with your lies!"

Chen Tang sneered in his heart.

Judging from the look of the fortune teller, she had obviously known about this matter for a long time.

The talk of divine punishment was nothing but a lie told by the witch and the alchemists of Xuantian Sect to fool the villagers.

Chen Tang added: "Also, there is no divine dragon here, only an evil dragon that caused mountain torrents and floods! The flood in Qingzhou was caused by this evil dragon!"

"What nonsense!"

"You are not allowed to slander the dragon that protects our Hidden Dragon Village!"

"There is a god above us, young man. You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being punished by the dragon?"

The witch looked sarcastic.

If Chen Tang said something else, the villagers might still be skeptical.

But mentioning the divine dragon would violate the taboo of the Hidden Dragon Village!

In Longyin Village, the Qingzhou Dragon is the god who protects them and must not be blasphemed!
The witch said loudly: "There are floods everywhere in Qingzhou, but our Longyin Village is safe and sound because of the protection of the dragon. This person has ulterior motives and blasphemed the dragon. It is simply an unforgivable crime!"

"Old witch, you use the theory of divine punishment to deceive people. You are even more hateful than the Taoist priests of Xuantian Sect!"

Chen Tang stepped in front of the witch and said coldly, "I can't keep you here today!"

Canglang!

The Wan Gu was unsheathed, blood splattered within five steps, and the witch’s head and body were separated!

Many villagers were frightened and scattered, hiding in the distance, looking at Chen Tang with horror on their faces.

"Longyin Village is definitely not a good place. I advise you all to leave as soon as possible."

Chen Tang said this in a loud voice that spread to every corner of the village.

"Believe his lies."

"I heard that there was a serious flood outside and I don't know how many people died. But in our village, everything is peaceful. There is no danger at all."

"What the witch said is right. This man is probably possessed by the devil."

"Let him go. Anyone who leaves Longyin Village will be punished by God!"

Some villagers were whispering in the distance.

Chen Tang no longer paid attention to them, turned around and went into the house, looked at the old man and Hong Qinhu, and said, "Old man, little brother, what are your plans?"

"Brother, I will take Grandpa and leave Longyin Village!"

Hong Qinhu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then made a decision.

There was a glimmer of admiration in Chen Tang's eyes.

It is rare for this young man to be so decisive when he is only in his early teens.

On the surface, Longyin Village is indeed much quieter and more peaceful than the outside world.

But there are alchemists from the Xuantian Sect guarding this place and not allowing the villagers to leave. There must be something fishy going on.

The wisest choice is to leave Longyin Village as soon as possible.

Moreover, Chen Tang helped Hong Qinhu and killed the witch's family. If the father and son stayed in the village, they would be ostracized and bullied.

Of course, it is not easy to make this decision.

After all, an old man and a young child are about to abandon everything and leave their hometown.

Leaving Longyin Village, in the flood-ridden Qingzhou, the future is uncertain, and whether you can survive is unknown. "Do you dare to leave the village?"

Chen Tang asked.

After all, all the people who had left Longyin Village before were killed by a beam of white light.

Chen Tang said that it was not a punishment from heaven, after all, it was just his opinion.

"dare!"

Hong Qinhu nodded vigorously.

After saying that, Hong Qinhu simply packed his luggage.

He went out and tied the shaft of the cart that had been unused for many years to the ox, making a simple ox cart. He carried his grandfather onto the ox cart and headed out of the village with Chen Tang.

Many villagers came out and silently watched Chen Tang and the other two leaving Longyin Village. Many of them were secretly expecting the arrival of a divine punishment like a white light.

Until Chen Tang and the other two walked far away, no divine punishment came.

Some villagers also have some doubts in their hearts.

But they still didn't leave.

Maybe it's because of habit, maybe it's because of fear, maybe it's because I don't want to give up everything here...

Chen Tang did not leave Longyin Village too far. He stood on a slope and looked in the direction of Longyin Village.

In addition to Hong Qinhu and the other man, a few people from the hundreds of households in Longyin Village mustered up the courage and chose to follow them and leave.

The vast majority of people stayed in the village.

Chen Tang shook his head secretly.

Even heavy rain cannot moisten the grass without roots.

The Tao is broad and only saves those who are destined to be saved.

Hong Qinhu suddenly said, "Brother, can my grandfather and I follow you from now on? Just treat me as a servant. Leave any dirty or tiring work to me. I can endure hardships and I have the strength!"

Chen Tang shook his head and said, "I'm going to a dangerous place, you should go west."

A look of disappointment flashed across Hong Qinhu's face.

He thought about it, a hint of anticipation welled up in his eyes, and he asked tentatively: "Brother, can you teach me some martial arts?"

Chen Tang looked at Hong Qinhu, and the words "destined person" came to his mind.

Without any self-defense skills, it would be difficult for this young man and a seriously injured old man to survive in this world outside.

This young man has a good character and good roots.

It’s just that there is no famous teacher to teach martial arts.

But Chen Tang didn't have much time, so he could only give some pointers.

If he delays too long, strong men from the capital and Qingzhou will arrive and he will be in great danger.

Chen Tang asked, "Your name is Qin Hu, I have a set of Fu Hu Quan, do you want to learn it?"

"Subduing Tiger Fist?"

Hong Qinhu was slightly stunned.

He also practices a few tricks of this boxing technique.

But he didn't think much about it and nodded, "I'll learn!"

"it is good!"

Chen Tang performed the Subduing Tiger Fist from beginning to end.

Hong Qinhu has an excellent memory and can remember most of it after just one look.

Chen Tang performed it again, helping Hong Qinhu change his posture with each move, allowing him to feel the force techniques contained in each move and every muscle exercised.

After the young man had memorized it, Chen Tang then taught him the breathing method that went along with the Subduing Tiger Fist.

As for how far Hong Qinhu can reach in the future, it depends on his own luck.

If one could fully master the Subduing Tiger Technique, he could at least cultivate it to the eighth level, which would be enough to protect himself.

An hour later, Chen Tang left and headed east.

"Master, Master, what's your name!"

Hong Qinhu was immersed in practicing boxing and couldn't extricate himself. After his grandfather reminded him several times, he finally reacted, ran as fast as he could, chased after his grandfather, and asked loudly.

"My name is Chen Tang, and I'm a swordsman."

From the end of the sky, a voice slowly came.

When the boy looked again, Chen Tang was gone.
