Chapter 12: Life is impermanent. The large intestine wraps around the small intestine.
As the sky got darker, fiery clouds painted the sky red.
After traveling thirty or forty miles to the south, Lin Shan saw a low city in the distance, nestled among the mountains. Going down the mountain along the winding path, he saw two large characters "Yongchang" on the city gate from afar.
I found a family chopping wood outside the city and was told that the capital of Zangke County was about a hundred miles south of Yongchang County.
Lin Shan had consumed a lot of energy from traveling today, so he naturally didn't want to sleep outdoors. He threw away the clothes he had received from the escort agency and changed into the spare clothes in his package.
After showing the pass to the soldiers guarding the city, I entered the small county town safely.
She found a restaurant in the city and ordered a large table of delicious dishes. After the meal, she found an inn, booked a room, and took a comfortable bath.
After all, he has money in his pocket now, so Lin Shan naturally becomes more courageous.
……
At night, Lin Shan, lying on the bed in the inn, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After all, it was his first time transporting a convoy and he experienced the terror of life and death. No one would be able to sleep.
I got up and walked to the backyard of the inn. The moon was high in the sky, the sky was full of stars, crickets were chirping in the summer night, and the outlines of the mountains around the city were clearly visible.
Lin Shan practiced Changchun Gong in the courtyard for a while, then took out the hexagonal token he had obtained during the day from his arms. "Xin 21" was engraved on it. This token was found on the short and fat man.
The "丙贰拾5" token of the other tall and thin man had absorbed the ancient charm of it while he was on the road and turned into ashes and dissipated.
Lin Shan was quietly thinking in the courtyard. After hearing Master Pu's description of the killer organization "Nightingale" during the day, he was also worried. Would he be found by those killers when he traveled to Zanghe County?
If you throw it into the deep mountains and forests, you may not be able to find it later. It is better to find a reliable place to hide it first, and then find it back when your martial arts skills are improved.
After all, if I could get access to more tokens in the future, maybe I could find more "ancient charm".
My strength is still too low.
As I was thinking, I didn't know when the night suddenly became eerily quiet all around me. The original sounds of insects disappeared, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.
Lin Shan felt that the token in his hand was getting a little hot.
Using some mysterious sense, he turned his head and saw a figure standing on the wall, in the center of the full moon.
Holding a sword in his arms, his clothes fluttered in the evening breeze.
"Black clothes, long sword"
Although it was a cool night, Lin Shan in the yard had beads of sweat on his forehead. He stared at the figure, not daring to move.
Because he had just seen this figure in the valley dozens of miles away during the day. This person had killed the top-notch expert Wang Biaotou with great force, which left a deep impression on him.
That’s right, it was the leader of the robbers in black!
Lin Shan's mind was blank at this moment and he had no time to think about anything.
At this time, a figure in the moonlight reached out to him from afar, and a low voice was heard.
"Bring it here."
Lin Shan suddenly woke up, his mind turned, he immediately knew what the other party was referring to, and hurriedly threw the token in his hand into the air.
The leader of the men in black opened his hand and sucked from a distance. The hexagonal token immediately violated the parabolic falling trend and flew straight into his hand.
After watching for a long time, the deep voice sounded again.
"Fatty Li was one of the few good fighters under my command, but he died at the hands of a young boy who had just entered the Qi Exchange Realm."
"interesting."
As he talked to himself, the leader of the men in black laughed softly, making Lin Shan's scalp tingle.
Fatty Li? Could it be the short fat guy who practiced the Zang realm in the forest during the day?
That’s right, he has mastered the internal power and palm techniques, which must be given by the leader of the men in black, otherwise how could he be so difficult to deal with.
Lin Shan was sweating profusely, and he did not dare to refute anything. He originally thought that he would study it first and then find a place to hide, but he did not expect that the other party would come so quickly! Now that he was alive and the token was in his hands, the outcome of the matter was clear at a glance. The leader of the black-clothed man lost his capable subordinate who he had trained for many years, and this time he came most likely to seek revenge.
Before he could finish his imagination, the figure on the wall laughed ghostly for a while, and suddenly threw the token to Lin Shan again.
Lin Shan looked down at the token in his arms, a little confused.
Doesn't he intend to avenge his men? I heard that people in the killer organization have volatile personalities, which seems understandable?
"That good-for-nothing Fatty Li is dead, so let him be dead. Nightingale only recognizes the order but not the person, so I will not bother to pursue the matter."
After the leader of the men in black finished speaking, he looked at him twice, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he saw through the powerful innate true energy in his body. After a brief thought, he nodded slowly.
"There's something, but not much!"
Lin Shan: “???”
As soon as these words were spoken, coupled with the projection under the moon, the black-clothed leader's mood of "everyone is garbage" radiated out. Lin Shan, who possessed the soul of a time traveler, was also stimulated by the unknown factors in his genes and was ready to move.
Just about to go up and try to get close to her.
The leader of the men in black jumped down, held his shoulder with one hand, and without waiting for him to say anything, he lifted him up over the wall and jumped on the roofs of the houses in the city using the art of lifting and leaping.
Feeling the night scene receding around him, Lin Shan felt like a chick caught by an eagle. The true energy in his body did not move at all, and it was obvious that his Dantian was sealed.
The wind was blowing all the way, and finally, when Lin Shan was dizzy, he felt that he had reached his destination. He was thrown directly into a new yard by the leader of the men in black.
At this time, the internal energy in his body was able to circulate again. He shook his head and climbed up. Dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at him quietly.
"."
Lin Shan could see clearly now that there were more than twenty men in black sitting cross-legged in the yard. They were the ones he met in the valley during the day.
Life is so wonderful. We meet during the day and again at night, not to mention that we become a group right away.
"This is a new guy. I just happened to pick him up when I was passing by. From now on, he will replace Fatty Li. You will be with me on tomorrow's mission. Be quiet until the mission is completed! If you see anyone taking action, please do it."
The voices outside the wall gradually faded away. It was obvious that the leader of the men in black had gone somewhere unknown. Before leaving, he was quite polite and threw a black robe wrapped in a turban on Lin Shan's head.
"So, I join Nightingale? It's that simple? I get work clothes as soon as I enter the factory?"
Lin Shan put on the killer suit hesitantly, and was a little bit unbelievable about his experience tonight.
He was just planning to venture into the underworld during the day, but was captured by the Nightingale leader at night. He was forced into a job without any reason and had no chance to regret.
When I came to my senses, I saw dozens of pairs of eyes still staring at me. I felt like I was being watched and immediately shuddered.
Fortunately, many of the killers were just curious about him, and after watching him for a while, they stopped paying attention and closed their eyes to conserve their energy. Only one person kept staring at him, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.
"Hey, this person seems familiar."
Although everyone was wearing a black turban, Lin Shan took a closer look under the moonlight and saw that there seemed to be a scar extending down between the man's eyebrows.
"Fuck! Scarface!"
Lin Shan was shocked! Oh my goodness! I actually ran into this guy again!
Life is so unpredictable, the big intestine is bound to the small intestine!
The scarred man on the opposite side was still staring at him fiercely, wishing he could eat him alive. Lin Shan had no doubt that if the leader hadn't said that just now, the scarred man would definitely rush over to fight him.
After all, Scarface was almost hacked to death by him when he robbed the escort during the day, and no one would let it go so easily. Even if Scarface said he let it go, Lin Shan would still doubt whether this guy would stab him again in secret!
This is not a question of who is petty. After all, we are all in the underworld, and any threat must be nipped in the bud. After all, we only have one life, and no one dares to gamble with human nature.
"So the feud has been established. We should strike first if we have the chance."
Lin Shan was thinking about how to find an opportunity to remove the scar, while he averted his gaze and calmly adjusted his breathing.
Scarface, on the other hand, was so angry that his teeth were itching: "Good boy, he was just robbed and killed during the day, and joined the organization at night. I didn't expect him to be a tough guy, I actually misjudged him!"
Scarface was also muttering in his heart, secretly regretting that he was too excited just now and exposed his existence in advance. With this kid's cleverness, he would definitely be able to guess who he was, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth beneath the black scarf curled up in a ferocious arc.
