Chapter 11: Counterattack and Token

Lin Shan suddenly remembered that his enhanced innate martial arts "Changchun Gong" has a derivative secret technique, the Duanji Palm!

The secret technique requires the Changchun Gong Qi, which is not difficult in itself. I have learned it a long time ago and have never experimented with it.

Isn't this an opportunity?
At this time, when the three were fighting, the fallen leaves in the woods were flying everywhere. Although the short and fat man was ambushed by Master Pu and suffered serious chest injuries, he relied on his strong true energy and exquisite internal power palm techniques to beat the other two back step by step!

Lin Shan seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to go around behind the short and fat man while giving a wink to Master Pu. Master Pu was an old and experienced man. Although he didn't know what tricks this kid had, he could guess that this meant that he needed his help to cover for him.

He immediately hid his left hand behind his back, shouted "Watch out!" and chopped hard with his right hand.

Raise your left hand!
The short and fat man thought that the old bastard was going to throw lime again, so he quickly dodged and closed his eyes. Lin Shan seized the opportunity to chop him with a knife, but the short and fat man was very good. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound, countered the moves, and hit the side of the knife with his palm.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shan took advantage of the moment when he swung his knife, stepped forward, and with his left palm, green light surged, he slapped directly under his right armpit.

"Oh!"

"Ah! You're kidding me!"

The short and fat man roared and opened his eyes. Master Pu’s left hand was empty, so where was the lime!
At the same time, he felt a sharp pain spreading from his armpit. After fighting with the two men for a few more times, he instantly felt something was wrong.

After five breaths, the right arm began to feel numb;

After ten breaths, the entire arm began to wither and shrank by a full circle!
After fifteen breaths, he even lost consciousness, and his bones were almost as thin as a bamboo pole!

"What kind of vicious palm technique is this?"

The short and fat man felt very disappointed. Originally, he could still fight with both palms, but after losing one hand, he immediately became struggling.

Master Pu had a sharp eye and gradually figured out the trick. Seeing that his opponent's right arm was weak, he naturally attacked his opponent's right arm fiercely.

Surrounded and beaten by two scoundrels, one old and one young, the short and fat man had no time to dodge, and his right arm was cut off at the shoulder!

"Uh!"

With a cry of pain, the short and fat man knew that the situation was hopeless and that he would lose his life if he continued to fight here, so he hurriedly ran back towards the valley. Lin Shan and the other man were afraid that he would go back to get help, so they quickly chased after him with their knives.

Half a minute later, the short and fat man finally fell to the ground, stabbed several times and dead.

……

Lin Shan sat down under a tree, took the water bag thrown by Master Pu and drank from it in big gulps. He and Master Pu had killed a master of dirty tricks, which exhausted all his strength. Now he just wanted to lie down and have a good rest.

At the same time, he was amazed at the power of the Broken Machine Palm. It was indeed a secret technique derived from the innate martial arts, so domineering!

Master Pu, who was standing by, was picking up corpses with a money-obsessed look on his face. Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh that this old man was so energetic.

"Haha, that's right. These two people have a total of 100 taels of silver. This is a big profit!"

Master Pu did not keep all the items for himself. He packed up the things he found and threw them in front of Lin Shan, asking him to count them as well.

When Qian Linshan was mentioned, he was no longer sleepy and quickly sat up and turned over.

There were definitely about a hundred taels of silver, some medicine for sprains and sprains, dry food, and two hexagonal brown tokens.

"What a pity, the short and fat man's internal energy palm technique was not found."

Lin Shan had not yet recovered from the battle just now. Thinking about the short and fat man who had an injured eye and a serious chest injury, but was still able to defeat the two of them, he was naturally envious of his palm skills.

"What are you thinking about? Have you ever seen anyone who goes out to kill people and also has unique martial arts skills?" Master Pu is experienced in the martial arts world, so he is naturally not surprised.

"What is this token for?"

Lin Shan picked up one of the hexagonal tokens. Perhaps because it had been worn for a long time, he could vaguely see the number "丙贰拾５" on it, but he couldn't tell what material it was made of.

Suddenly, the reinforcement panel that had been silent for a long time popped up.

【Identity Token】

Ancient Rhyme: 1 o'clock

Is it absorbed?

……

Lin Shan jumped up excitedly! Master Pu beside him looked at him in surprise.

"what happened?"

Then, seeing the token in his hand, a trace of realization appeared on his face, and he shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, we killed people from this organization, so there won't be any follow-up troubles. If it were any other force, we would have been on the run."

"Do you know the origin of this token?" Lin Shan knew that he had just lost his composure, so he quickly adjusted his tone and complimented: "Tell me about it, and broaden my horizons."

"This is the Nightingale Order."

Master Pu didn't let him ask in vain and told the story slowly and calmly.

"Twenty years ago, I met a killer when I was wandering around. Later, we became close friends because of some experiences. He once showed me his token. Except for the number, everything else was similar."

"This assassin organization is called Nightingale. I don't know the structure of its members, but I do know that when an assassin accepts a mission and is killed by the target, the organization will not seek revenge on his behalf."

At the same time, Master Pu said with a strange expression, "This organization has another principle, which is to recognize orders but not people!"

"Recognize the order but not the person? What does that mean?" It was also the first time that Lin Shan heard Master Pu talk about such rumors.

"What it means is that as long as you hold this token in your hand, you will automatically become a member of the Nightingale. If the original owner dies, then you will automatically take over his identity."

After saying this, Master Pu also advised him,
"I suggest you throw it away. Tokens can sense each other at close range. There are many assassins in Nightingale, none of them are good people, and members will occasionally kill each other. You are new to the martial arts world, so it is better not to wade into this muddy water."

Lin Shan was amazed after hearing this, but it was not a good idea to expose his enhanced ability in front of Master Pu. He resisted the urge to absorb the ancient charm on the token and picked up another token.

To his disappointment, this time there were no hints for "Gu Yun" to absorb.

Compared with the previous token, this one is much newer, without too many scratches, and the number "Xin Ershiyi" is clearly visible on it.

"Maybe this token is a new one made by Nightingale for the expansion of enrollment, and the original one was passed down from the early years." Lin Shan guessed secretly.

But no matter what, the Nightingale Token is an important clue to obtaining the Ancient Rhyme. It seems that if you want to obtain the "Ancient Rhyme" in the future, the older the object, the greater the chance.

He automatically filtered out Master Pu's words of advice. Just because of the possibility that it might be related to ancient rhyme, he would never give up the investigation!

……

The two rested for a long time in the forest and did not see any pursuers.

"The escort agency suffered heavy losses this time, and the only top-notch expert in the escort team, Wang Biaotou, was killed. It's time for me, an old man, to retire and go back to enjoy the life of my children and grandchildren!" Master Pu stroked his stubble, sighing.

You probably think this way because you've divided up the money and feel your retirement fund is enough.

Lin Shan did not expose the old man. This time, he killed the Nightingale Killer and the two of them split the fifty taels each.

After all, Lin Shan's palm strike at the last moment played a crucial role. Master Pu naturally knew the rules of the martial arts world and was tactful enough not to ask about the privacy of his palm technique.

"What are you going to do next? Will you go back to Qinghe County with me?"

Lin Shan frowned slightly and began to analyze what the reaction of Qinghe County would be after the government's escort goods were robbed.

The government will definitely hold them accountable, but I don't know how strict it will be, after all, no one knows what is in this batch of goods. Maybe the old employer, the Lin family, can help to block it, or maybe they will just use them as scapegoats.

These are all unknowns.

Even if the government does not pursue the matter, with the death of the most powerful escort leader in the escort agency, and more than a hundred skilled fighters either dead or injured, the Lin family will certainly draft able-bodied men to reorganize the Lin Escort Agency, and Lin Shan will inevitably be a laborer again.

After experiencing this life-and-death situation, he suddenly figured out some things and became extremely eager to travel. What future would he have if he stayed in Qinghe County all the time?
My physique and talent are ordinary, the only thing I can rely on is the "enhanced panel", but I need a lot of ancient charm points to make good use of them, so going out to look for "ancient charm" is the top priority at the moment!

Besides, he had no relatives to tie him down, and was just an unknown figure in the Lin family. No one would care about him even if he disappeared, not to mention that he had already grown up and left the Lin Mansion.

"No, I plan to travel to Zangke County."

Seeing Lin Shan put the two tokens into his arms, Master Pu, who had vaguely guessed his thoughts, did not act pretentiously. The world is so big, who wouldn't yearn for it when they were young?

What's more, this kid not only possesses strange and domineering palm techniques, but is also cautious and careful in character, so Master Pu doesn't worry about him at all.

"Then we'll meet again. Maybe I'll still hear of your fame in my lifetime!"

Master Pu smiled heroically, took a sip of his pipe, turned around and walked away leisurely into the vast sea of woods.

……

"This is the unrestrained and carefree attitude that a man of the world should have! But at his age, can he still be considered a man of the world?"

Lin Shan watched Master Pu disappear on the way he came, then strode back in the opposite direction with his bag in hand. It was time to go out into the world and explore.

On this journey, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
