Volume 1: The Apocalyptic Journey Chapter 17: Inheritance
Ancient Sword City, a small antique weapon shop, is located at the head of Xi'an Street, and on its opposite side is a group of courtyards containing an ancient atmosphere, covering almost the entire Xi'an Street.
Before the end of the world, Xi'an Street was the richest street in Taicheng, but after the end of the world, it became a hell on earth.
Su Chen gently pushed open the gate of the front yard, and the three big characters of the ancient sword city that were about to fall off the scum came into view.
It may be the reason why the ZF army led people to clean up here, there are very few zombies around, and some, they are just some mutilated corpses, and occasionally there are a few zombies that are active, and they are rarely able to see a complete body.
After the sweep, Xi'an Street is relatively safe compared to other streets for now.
Su Chen and the three of them walked through the street and came to the gate of the Ancient Sword City, the gate was closed, Su Chen spent a lot of effort and did not open it, and in desperation, he had to choose to climb the window.
Mo Yu guarded Zhang Xin, Su Chen withdrew the big dog's legs, jumped lightly in a few steps, grabbed it with one hand, and it took a lot of effort to come to the window on the second floor.
The window on the second floor was wide open, and Su Chen bent down and jumped in.
The room was very gray, and even the autumn sun could shine in, Su Chen pulled out his big dog's leg and groped carefully.
"Young man? Stealing the wrong place..."On a recliner somewhere on the first floor, the old man was awakened by Su Chen's arrival, he was a little displeased, although he had a good impression of Su Chen, but he sneaked into someone else's house like this, and whoever he changed to, I am afraid he would not be happy.
"Grandpa, listen to my explanation..."Su Chen's face was embarrassed, the old man not far away had already pressed the light off, and the first floor, which was originally pitch black, suddenly became clear.
"What, it's justified to steal?" The old man was not in a hurry, and looked at him quietly.
Listening to Zhang Xin, the old man in front of him has opened a martial arts hall and been a martial artist, this point, just from the appearance, Su Chen can't feel it, the old man's thin body will be blown away by the wind at any time, how can he have the power to hammer people.
"What kind of look are you looking at me, sympathizing with me?" The old man's pale eyebrows were slightly raised, and the wrinkles on his face were even closer.
"No, you're mistaken, I'm just here to open the door." Su Chen hurriedly replied.
"Do you need to bring a weapon to open the door? If you're young, a burglary can ruin your life, so let's go, just because I haven't seen you. The old man waved his hand, a little impatient in his tone.
Su Chen withdrew the big dog's legs, a little helpless, no more, under the nose of the old man, came to the door, opened the door lock, and pressed the automatic switch to open the door.
With a slight buzzing sound, Zhang Xin and Mo Yu came in from under the door.
"Xin'er?" The old man's legs shook suddenly, he couldn't understand, he was just taking a nap, and his granddaughter actually joined the young man he fancied to rob the house?
As soon as Zhang Xin came in, he saw Su Chen's ashen expression, and immediately understood something, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you misunderstood, I don't believe you look at the outside world." ”
All explanations are useless in the face of the elderly, only facts can prove everything.
Su Chen pressed the stop button halfway through the opening of the door, and the old man was a little puzzled, but he still came to the door.
In the sky above Xi'an Street, thick smoke is entangled, and the whole street can be seen everywhere with crashed vehicles, and on the street, there are several zombies who are tearing at the corpses that have no breath, and the scene is extremely bloody.
"Is this filming?" The old man has lived for 70 years, and he has heard about this kind of scene in front of him, except for filming, he can't think of any other words that can explain the situation in front of him.
"The end of the world has come, yesterday, I told you..."Su Chen walked up to the old man and explained.
"What a world...", the old man said coldly.
"yes, that's." Su Chen responded.
"Well, what about them!" The old man turned his head sharply and looked at Zhang Xin.
Zhang Xin's expression was strange, he hesitated, and said slowly: "Except for my father and second uncle, everyone else is dead." ”
"What about them?" The old man frowned and said.
"I was picked up by ZF, and I don't know the exact location." Zhang Xin said.
"Silly girl, you won't call?" The old man said.
"The electricity and water have not stopped, but the phone will only be busy at this time, and it will not be called." Su Chen interjected.
"The world of!" The old man slammed his left fist against the wall and said angrily.
"Grandpa, let's go in first, it's not safe outside." Su Chen reminded.
"Don't be grandpa, just call me Zhang Ling." Zhang Ling waved his hand, and a group of people entered the room, and the door was tightly closed.
"Elder Ling, we are here this time to ask you to help cut the three weapons, and then take you out of here together." Su Chen took the weapon from Mo Yu and Zhang Xin and handed it to Zhang Ling.
"Let this go, I'll do it later, as for leaving, I'm a lot old, and I won't live for a few years, so I still won't leave with you." Zhang Ling leaned back on the seat and said.
"This..."Su Chen didn't know how to persuade him.
Zhang Xin's expression was very bad, but she didn't speak, she knew that her grandfather was a bull temper, as long as she decided on a good thing, don't persuade her, even if she was a knife and neck, it would not change.
"What's your name?" The old man looked at Su Chen and asked.
"My name is Su Chen, he is Mo Yu, and we are teachers of Teacher Zhang." Su Chen replied.
"The ancestral business of the Zhang family can't be interrupted in my hands, since there is fate, then I will entrust the Zhang family to you, what do you think?" Zhang Ling said.
"This..." Su Chen's face was black, and he didn't know how to answer.
"What has been passed down to you is just the martial arts that have been passed down from generation to generation by my Zhang family, don't think too much, the responsibility of the Zhang family is borne by the Zhang family themselves." Zhang Ling knew what Su Chen was thinking, and said.
"I understand, it's just that such a big gift is inappropriate." Su Chen refused.
"That's when you take care of Xin'er's reward."
"No, I..."
"Are you looking down on my Zhang family's martial arts? My Zhang family's martial arts have been passed down for hundreds of years, why, do you have to practice with me to believe it? ”
Alas, Su Chen sighed lightly, and really didn't know how to refuse, so he had to agree.
He knew that once he agreed, what he would bear was the century-old inheritance of the Zhang family and the responsibility to Zhang Xin, which was the reason why he had been hesitating and refusing.
"Good! Since you have agreed, then you will come with me. Xin'er, entertain Xiaoyu, I'll come when I go. Zhang Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Chen's sleeve, as if he was afraid that Su Chen would regret it.
Su Chen was silent and followed behind Zhang Ling.
The basement floor of the Ancient Sword City, which can also be said to be a secret room, Zhang Ling didn't know what mechanism he had opened, and with a mechanical sound, a stone book several meters high appeared in front of Su Chen's eyes.
"This is the martial arts passed down by the ancestors of my Zhang family, passed down in one line, I think, I can't wait for the next destined person, the future of my Zhang family is handed over to you."
Zhang Ling paused and continued: "You look at it slowly, recite these first, and ask me if you have any questions." ”
"Good!" Su Chen responded.
Zhang Ling left, and only Su Chen was left in the entire secret room.
The two-meter-high stone book is engraved with three hundred and one characters, as well as a few paintings, Su Chen's memory is already very good, and even more so after becoming an evolutionary.
In just ten minutes, Su Chen memorized all the words and pictures in his mind without missing anything.
Then, he began to think.
The Zhang family's martial arts that have been passed down for hundreds of years are absolutely extraordinary, just those few pictures, the introduction is a deadly killing move, and it can often be used in the simplest way to put people to death.
However, there are three hundred and one words, and there are many words to introduce the history of the Zhang family, in fact, only half of the martial arts content that can be learned from it.
These words, Su Chen can understand only one-tenth, it should be engraved in the Ming Dynasty, Su Chen took out his mobile phone, and checked it on the Internet at a critical moment.
However, not only was the phone always busy, but even the Internet had become a thing of the past, so in desperation, Su Chen had no choice but to pick up the ten-centimeter-thick ancient book that Zhang Ling left before leaving, and flip through it.
Just as Su Chen was inquiring about the information, Zhang Ling was cutting for Ling Guang, while Mo Yu and Zhang Xin were watching from the sidelines.
