As one of the few remaining frontier fortresses of the Great Chu State, Linxi City is located in the westernmost part, bordering the Qin State, people often say that "poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people", but here it is different, although Linxi is partial, it is a blessed land with beautiful mountains and rivers in the world, the economy and trade are developed and the products are abundant, but the people are fierce, it is really not like a rich city should be.

Today's Linxi City is full of traffic, and there is an endless stream of merchants, as prosperous and lively as in the past, but Mu Chen stood at the window on the second floor of the carrier restaurant, and his eyes revealed an extremely dignified look.

Mu Chen is a well-known right-hand man of the Yamen of Linxi City, practicing a good martial arts, under his inspection, all the thieves do not dare to act rashly in Linxi City, thinking so, the county commander reported to the court last year to ask for credit for him, if nothing else, at the end of this year, Mu Chen can go to the capital to pick up a vacancy, and since then the glory of the court.

The thing that can make him so dignified is definitely not a trivial matter.

......

......

If you want to talk about big things, Linxi City has indeed had a big event recently.

There is a Taoist temple in the suburbs of the east of the city, I heard that this is a small temple that has been broken for many years, more than ten years ago, an old Taoist priest traveled here, repaired it casually, and it became his place to stay, the emperor of the Great Chu State worshiped the Tao, so the whole country worshiped the Tao, and the county magistrate also made it convenient, and did not care about him. The old Taoist priest lived in the temple for more than ten years, but also did a lot of good things for Linxi City, he was proficient in medical skills, the people in the city did not have any incurable diseases that he could not cure, the only deficiency is that the old Taoist priest has a compassionate face, and the price charged is several times more than that in the city medical hall, so if he is not seriously ill, there are few people to look for him.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and the old Taoist priest was no exception, just a few days ago, the old Taoist occasionally felt a cold, perhaps because he had fallen into the root of the disease for many years, so he kicked his legs in both eyes and died.

It stands to reason that the death of an old Taoist priest is not a big deal, but the big thing is a big thing, and the old Taoist priest adopted a good apprentice.

On the surface, it seems to be prosperous, but there are black and white worlds everywhere, and the forces in Linxi City are also intertwined, and in countless unknown nights, large and small gangs have also left a lot of corpses in grabbing territory, but behind these forces, there are shadows above, even if they are head-catching and dusty, they dare not interfere casually.

Generally speaking, there are three major forces in Linxi City, not to mention that the southern city is the place where the official yamen is located, Xiao Yan of the Firmament Gang in the east city, Lin Dong of the Qiankun Gate in the west and Ye Fan of the Chen Gang in the north city are in charge of the underground world, and they have opened gambling halls and brothels on a large scale, and the profits they make every year are like fish and shrimp in the sea, so many that they are countless.

But even if it is as strong as the three major gangs, no one wants to provoke Chen Linci.

Chen Linci was born handsome, with a face like a crown of jade and sword eyebrows and starry eyes, often wearing a coarse linen coat to walk between the streets and alleys, looking weak and windy, like a scholar who reads.

But few people know what amazing power is hidden in this thin body.

It was a rainy night, Lin Dong had seen it, and Xiao Yan had also seen it.

......

......

Three years ago, when the old gang leader of the Beichengchen Gang died, and the young Ye Fan took the position, in order to prevent Xiao Yan from being annexed by Lin Dong during the turbulent period, Ye Fan invited a distant cousin of the Ye family in Tianxuan County to sit in the town, and when Xiao Yan and Lin Dong led people to kill, they found that the so-called distant cousin uncle turned out to be a master who stepped into the Kaiyang realm!

If it weren't for Chen Linci's presence, maybe the Sky Gang and Qiankun Gate would have been annexed by the Chen Gang.

That night of blood and rain, Chen Linci relied on brute force to resist the masters of the Tianxuan Ye family dozens of palms, and fought a draw, which led to the three-legged situation of Linxi City today.

Chen Linci is a helper invited by Xiao Yan for ten copper plates, to put it bluntly, he is invited to support the field, the old Taoist priest is either drinking or sleeping all day long, the medical fee is so high and few people come, all the economic burden is all on Chen Linci, this kind of work to support the field, he doesn't know how many times he has done it.

It's just that no one expected that Chen Linci had never practiced, and he would be able to use brute force to compete with the cultivators of the Kaiyang realm!

After that night, the Sky Gang, the Qiankun Gate, and even the Chen Gang all extended an olive branch to Chen Linci, but Chen Linci never promised.

The reason is simple, the old Taoist priest does not allow it.

......

......

The antique atmosphere of the carrier restaurant is a well-known elegance in Linxi City, and the favorite thing of those sour literati is to come here to drink some wine and write a few cynical limerick poems, and drink to themselves.

But Mu Chen is not a sour talent, and it is obvious that he does not have any poetry writing Yaxing.

Mu Chen poured the wine in his glass, and the guests he was waiting for had already arrived.

"Do you really want to leave?" Mu Chen drank the wine in his cup, and said with hatred: "In the early years, I let you enter the yamen with me, at least it is a livelihood job, with your ability, you will definitely be able to catch the head in a few years, but your master has to stop it, and now you are dead, and you are not allowed to enter the official mansion, I wondered, where did the official mansion offend his old man?"

Although he used the honorific title of the old man, anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Chen Linci sat opposite, few people knew that he had a very good personal relationship with Mu Chen, but Rao was so, when Mu Chen said these words, his face still showed a lot of unhappiness.

"The old man is gone, don't talk about him, don't forget, not only the errand of the government, I didn't go to Xiao Yan and the reward of fifty taels of silver a month. ”

"What kind of life does Xiao Yan live there? Every day, he hangs his head around his neck and licks the knife to live, is it compared to what the government has?" Mu Chen was very unimpressed by Chen Lin's words.

"The head hangs on the neck, and no one in the government dares to cut it?" Chen Linci obviously did not have any intention of staying.

Seeing that Chen Lin had made up his mind to leave, Mu Chen drank another glass of wine, and said helplessly: "It's okay to go, Linxi Town is never a place to stay for a long time, with your ability, you will definitely be able to do something when you go out." ”

Chen Linci smiled innocently, "Brother Mu, you finally said something decent."

"It's just that I'm going to go thousands of miles here, you and I brother, I don't know when we will meet. ”

"There's still a long way to go, and we'll always meet. Chen Linci told Mu Chen very firmly.

......

......

The humble Taoist temple was full of wine jugs left by the old Taoist priest, and Chen Linci took out a few silver tickets from under the bed, which were the private money he had saved hard over the years.

Over the years, it is not so much that the old Taoist priest has adopted him, but that he is supporting the old Taoist priest.

He took out the pendant from his chest and touched it a few times, which was the last memorial left to him by the old Taoist priest.

"Master, the apprentice is gone. ”

Locking the wooden door of the Taoist temple, which was about to decay, the eighteen-year-old boy Chen Linqi left the land.

Master's death is a parting, meeting Mu Chen in the carrier restaurant is a parting, and leaving Linxi City is also a parting.

The old Taoist priest said that when people live, they are parting one after another.

There is nothing new in the world.
