Regarding Cao Ruxuan's words, Lin Xiangnan nodded in agreement.

If they are really great evildoers, death is not at all fearful for them.

As Cao Ruxuan said, the reason why he wants to live is just that he feels very unwilling to die.

"Including Boss Liu, who was knocked unconscious by you before." Cao Ruxuan said: "He is also a hard-working man, I have heard of his story, his whole family was killed, his wife and daughter died very miserably, and they were forced to death by a group of people." He was left alone, and after he took revenge, he was not willing to be killed, so he fled here. It's just that more than ten years ago, there was an accident in the town, and we were sent to the outer city. ”

"What's going on?" Lin Xiangnan hurriedly asked.

For Lin Xiangnan, this is the information point he wants to know.

"I fled here about twenty years ago." Cao Ruxuan said: "When I first fled here, this was really a shelter, although there was a city wall, but this city wall was used to resist the cold wind. Because this swamp is located between valleys and surrounded by mountains, it is cold and windy in winter. With the city walls, you can withstand the cold winds. When I first came here, there were people who managed the order. You've probably heard of the origin of this town. ”

"I've heard of it." Lin Xiangnan nodded and said.

"This legend is true." Cao Ruxuan said very seriously: "This town was originally established by a generation of grandmaster Hu Zongyuan. ”

Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Lin Xiangnan really didn't expect that this legend would be true!

Cao Ruxuan continued: "Not long after Hu Zongyuan established this town, the first batch of residents soon came, and Hu Zongyuan accepted the first batch of residents as disciples, and then taught them kung fu and founded a sect. Later, the fugitives who fled here one after another had the opportunity to join this sect once a year, and they only needed to compete in martial arts, and the top ten could join this sect. When I first came, this rule was still in place, and if you can become a disciple of this sect, they are the ones who are in charge of order, and those who can't join the sect will become ordinary residents of this town. The inhabitants had to work in exchange for their daily food. However, there is one thing, once you stay in this town, you are not allowed to escape, otherwise you will not be killed. ”

"Then is the current head of this sect Hu Zongyuan?" Lin Xiangnan hurriedly asked.

Lin Yunnuo told Lin Xiangnan that this Hu Zongyuan was a peerless master more than two hundred years ago, and he had practiced Gang Qi. According to the Gangqi theory, Hu Zongyuan may still be alive now.

Cao Ruxuan looked at Lin Xiangnan very strangely, and then said: "Although it is not Hu Zongyuan, Hu Zongyuan is also a strange person, it is said that he died fifty years ago, and his lifespan has reached two hundred and five years old, which is incredible." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Ruxuan looked at Lin Xiangnan cautiously and asked, "Shaoxia, since you know Hu Zongyuan, how do you know that Hu Zongyuan can live until now?" ”

Obviously, Cao Ruxuan was talking about Lin Xiangnan.

"You don't have to worry about this." Lin Xiangnan looked at Cao Ruxuan coldly and said.

"Okay." Cao Ruxuan shrank his neck in fright, and hurriedly nodded and said.

"You go on to tell me about that incident." Lin Xiangnan said coldly.

"Hmm." Cao Ruxuan nodded and said: "Since Hu Zongyuan established this town, for more than two hundred years, there have been men and women who have fled in one after another, although the ratio of men and women is out of balance, but Hu Zongyuan is in charge, and the disciples of his sect maintain order, and there have been no violations of law and discipline in the town. What's more, most of the martial arts practitioners are pure and have few desires and devote themselves to studying martial arts. However, there are two people who are happy, and Hu Zongyuan encourages them to have more children. As a result, the ratio of men and women in the town is not as unbalanced as before. Life in the town is more harmonious, like a paradise. ”

"Fifty years ago, Hu Zongyuan passed away, and before he died, he passed the position of head to Wei Qingyuan, who was in charge of the town." Cao Ruxuan said: "Wei Qingyuan's management method is exactly the same as Hu Zongyuan's, so the person in power has changed hands, and the town has not experienced any turmoil. This peaceful life lasted for another few decades. About twelve years ago, in my third year here, there was an incident in the town. Wei Qingyuan was killed by his disciple Feng Jian, who poisoned Wei Qingyuan in order to seize power. Poor Wei Qingyuan was killed on the spot, and then Feng Jian seized the right to rule, and since then, the town's originally stable life has undergone earth-shaking changes. ”

"Feng Jian is extremely cruel and astringent, except for those disciples of the sect and the residents of the town, he doesn't take anyone seriously at all." Cao Ruxuan said hatefully: "He first robbed all the women, which caused strong hatred among the residents of the town. These residents rebelled, and were quickly suppressed by the disciples of the sect. These residents are the opponents of the disciples of this sect, and if they can beat these disciples, they are eligible to join the sect. And Feng Jian treated the disciples of the sect quite kindly, and many of the women who were robbed were distributed to the disciples of the sect, so the disciples of those sects were loyal to him. ”

"After the crackdown, we residents lived even more hard, working day and night." Cao Ruxuan said hatefully: "If we are a little lazy, we will be whipped at the least, and we will be directly sent to the outer city." We are all allotted out. We were sent to the outer city, and the days were even more miserable, originally in the inner city, we needed to do things every day, but we could eat, but now we can only eat one meal in ten days, and after that, we have to endure ten days of hunger, and if we can't bear it, we will starve to death, and we will be eaten by others. ”

"Then you didn't think about running away?" Lin Xiangnan frowned and said.

Now Lin Xiangnan understands why these people even eat dead human flesh, under such cruel conditions, if it is not orderly and restricted, these people are afraid that they will all eat living people.

"Of course I did, but all those who fled were killed." Cao Ruxuan said with a wry smile: "In the past twelve years, at least a thousand people have been sent to the outer city one after another, and now there are less than three hundred people who can live. ”

Lin Xiangnan frowned, at this time, the swamp he was familiar with was completely different from the swamp he had imagined according to the legend that Lin Yunyu had told before.

This town, once experienced a good time, but now, it has been reduced to a real swamp, a purgatory on earth.

"Run away, there's someone from the inner city." At this moment, I don't know who shouted, and suddenly, these hundreds of people were extremely frightened and fled in all directions.

Lin Xiangnan looked in the direction of the inner city, and sure enough, there were three blurred figures in the distance at this time, and then walked in the direction of Lin Xiangnan.

"Young man, please, can you let me go?" Cao Ruxuan's face changed drastically, he looked at Lin Xiangnan and pleaded bitterly.

"Why are you so scared?" Lin Xiangnan asked with a frown.

"In the outer city, although we can't kill people, but the people in the inner city, especially the guards, they can kill people at will in the outer city." Cao Ruxuan's face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice with fear.

"In that case, then you can go." Lin Xiangnan looked at Cao Ruxuan and said.

Cao Ruxuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Lin Xiangnan to let him go.

"Young man." Cao Ruxuan looked at Lin Xiangnan with complicated eyes and said: "You have to be careful, the inner city sent an escort team, it must have seen you just do it with Boss Liu's people, if Boss Liu's people are still alive, you will be fine, if they are dead, Shaoxia, you should run quickly and run into the swamp, although you may be killed, but it is better than being captured and killed." ”

"Well, thank you." Lin Xiangnan looked at Cao Ruxuan, nodded and said.

"Shaoxia, then I'll go." Cao Ruxuan said.

After speaking, Cao Ruxuan turned around and ran.

Lin Xiangnan remained motionless, still standing in place, waiting for the three people to come over.

Soon, as the three people got closer and closer, Lin Xiangnan could already see the three people clearly.

At the forefront of the center was a burly bald man, nearly two meters tall, about forty years old, wearing a black suit and trousers, and a black leather coat.

Then he was followed by two men in black trench coats, both about 1.8 meters tall, well-proportioned, not as strong as a bald head, and about 30 years old depending on their age.

Obviously, these three people are the so-called inner city guards, and this bald man should be the small leader among the three.

The three of them walked to a place ten meters south of Lin Xiang and stopped.

The bald man squinted and looked at Lin Xiangnan, his eyes were cold, revealing a murderous aura that seemed to be substantial, suffocating.

He just looked at Lin Xiangnan, and Lin Xiangnan looked at the bald man with an indifferent expression, and his momentum was not inferior at all.

"Good boy." The two looked at each other for a while before the bald man spoke: "It's kind of enough to dare to look at me for so long." ”

The bald man spoke loudly, and every character he spat out felt like a bomb exploding in his ears, making people's eardrums buzz.

Lin Xiangnan's brows suddenly furrowed, obviously, this man's internal strength cultivation is very high, unfathomable, and he is definitely a master.

"Thank you." Lin Xiangnan was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes looked at the bald man indifferently and said, "But in my opinion, there is nothing to look at you." ”

"Boy, how did you talk to our captain."

"Boy, you want to die, don't you?"

At this time, the two men behind the bald man immediately yelled at Lin Xiangnan viciously, and they wanted to step forward to teach Lin Xiangnan a lesson.

The bald man waved his hand and stopped the two men, and the bald man looked at Lin Xiangnan coldly, and then snorted coldly.

Immediately, the bald man said to his two men, "Go and see those people and see if they are all alive." ”

"Yes!" The two men answered.

Immediately, the two men glanced at Lin Xiangnan fiercely, and then walked quickly towards the people who had been knocked unconscious by Lin Xiangnan before.

"Boy, my subordinates have already told me, what you did just now, I appreciate you." The bald man looked at Lin Xiangnan and said in a loud voice: "If those people are alive, you are eligible to enter my escort team, but if those people, someone dies, you must die, this is the rule." ”
