Chapter 92
After thanking Lao Zhang in his heart, he didn't know how many times, and thinking that Ye Yun took the lead in making fun of himself every time, Lin Xuanzhong secretly decided that if Ye Yun let him come to the tavern again in the future, then he would definitely not agree.
But then again, after the embarrassment passed, Lin Xuanzhong realized that the current situation was actually a part of the mercenary life, and it was just an extremely ordinary thing for many mercenaries, and if he had been in the mercenary team, then he should definitely get used to the current situation. In this way, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was normal for everyone to make fun of him, but his behavior was abnormal.
After the gradual change of thinking, coupled with the effect of alcohol, Lin Xuanzhong's performance is no longer as restrained as before. Although he still didn't dare to keep making special moves on those dusty women like others, Lin Xuanzhong had already taken the initiative to find others to drink.
I ate a meal for more than an hour, the wine went through three rounds, the dishes went through five flavors, and now there are only leftovers on the table.
"Qingfeng, you go back first, we still have something to do here. After everyone said that they couldn't drink anymore, Lao Zhang reminded Lin Xuanzhong meaningfully.
"What, does Qingfeng have to go back to sleep at night?" A man named Chen Gang among the five couldn't help but ask, seemingly surprised by Lao Zhang's words.
"Let him go back, Qingfeng is not used to being like us. When everyone looked at Lin Xuanzhong in surprise, Lao Zhang said a word for Lin Xuanzhong again. Originally, Lin Xuanzhong was still embarrassed about how to leave, but now it is much better to have Zhang Qi to speak to him.
"Brothers, the younger brother is not strong enough to drink, so go back first. Seeing that everyone else was staring at him, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly replied with the reason he had just thought of, and said that he got up directly and said goodbye to everyone, afraid that others would keep him, and then fled in a burst of laughter.
Leaving the tavern, the corridor outside was already a lot quieter, but Lin Xuanzhong was still red-faced, as if he had just left hell, and he felt dizzy all the way until he returned to the guest room.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Xuanzhong felt as if he had collapsed, and his whole body was weak. At the same time, my mind was full of the scene of the drink I had just drunk. Although he had been away from the tavern for a while, perhaps because he had drunk too much, it was still a stimulus for Lin Xuanzhong in retrospect.
The heavier the drinking, the more sober his consciousness became, there were too many things happening today, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to think about it. I remember that I had read in the book that the monk could force out the alcohol power in his body by using his true qi, but now that his thoughts were so confused, Lin Xuanzhong planned to force the alcohol power out of his body as soon as possible while he was still sober.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, listening to the wind outside, he slowly ran his true qi.
Little by little, as time passed, his body became hotter and hotter, and the steam on Lin Xuanzhong's body kept bubbling up, and his consciousness became sober.
A gust of wind blew open the window, and the cool feeling instantly covered the whole body, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was still a little drunk, felt very comfortable.
Without rushing to stop enjoying it, Lin Xuanzhong continued to use his skills to force out the alcohol power in his body.
Before I knew it, a period of time had passed, and the wind blowing into the house became more and more, and a few candles were shaken by the wind, and the house was dark and bright. The wind outside was getting louder and louder, and Lin Xuanzhong's consciousness became more and more awake, until the sound of the rain came, Lin Xuanzhong completely opened his eyes.
The wine was gone, and Lin Xuanzhong completely regained consciousness. Getting up and closing the window, Lin Xuanzhong walked to the table and sat down and began to think about some questions. There are so many things that have happened today, and when I think about it, I feel very deeply.
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and it may be that when the rain stops, the weather will clear up, and I won't be able to stay in the post house for a few days. Whether to go or stay, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he should think about it now.
The more and more familiar with the people in the mercenary team, the more they don't want to leave, and today because he heard about the middle-aged team leader, Lin Xuanzhong still wants to go with them. If you insist on going back, as you thought before, five hundred miles, the destination is known, but the risk is undecided.
Now that he is only a third-order martial cultivator, no matter how careful he is, he may encounter danger. If you encounter a high-level beast, you can avoid it if you are lucky, but if you encounter a robber, it will be difficult to survive no matter how lucky you are. And as long as you encounter danger, then you are really in danger. Thinking that his experience and experience were so poor, Lin Xuanzhong didn't dare to estimate the possibility of going back safely.
On the other hand, if he continued to walk with the middle-aged team leader, he could be regarded as joining the mercenary team, then before arriving in the city that never sleeps, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he should be with the mercenary team. And what to do after arriving in the city that never sleeps, it will not be decided until then, and the question now is whether to go with the mercenary team.
Once you are together, the return date may be far away, and there is a high chance that you will encounter danger on the way. But if he travels with the mercenary team, Lin Xuanzhong feels that he can learn a lot, and if he accumulates experience to a certain extent, he may be able to rely on his own experience to go to Surabaya City alone. Thinking about it this way, Lin Xuanzhong prefers to continue to walk with the middle-aged team leader. Having said that, what worries Lin Xuanzhong now is whether to go back or not.
It had been almost three months since the opening of the Ghost City, and no matter what the situation of Qinglan was now, Lin Xuanzhong knew that everything had become a foregone conclusion. Even if he can go back as soon as possible, he still can't change anything, he just hopes that Lin Wuwu can ensure Qinglan's safety.
As for the Lin family, except for Lin Piaoyu, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to care about their current situation, and he didn't expect the people of the Lin family to help rescue Qinglan. After thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was more meaningful and safer to go with the mercenary team than to go back. At least you can't rush to the road before your injuries are healed, and in the end, your life is in danger.
On the way to the post station, through constant communication with them, Lin Xuanzhong was fully aware of the risk of going back, so he couldn't act rashly.
After a period of time, after repeated consideration, Lin Xuanzhong finally decided that the next step was to walk with the mercenary team. In that case, Lin Xuanzhong had to think about whatever he might encounter next.
It wasn't until half an hour later that he thought about everything, Zhang Qi and Ye Yun would not come back tonight, and after blowing out the candles, Lin Xuanzhong rested directly.
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next morning Zhang Qi and Ye Yun came back with a hearty breakfast, and the three of them walked to the gambling house after a simple meal.
On the way, I met three people who had been drinking last night, and the team grew to six. After entering the gambling house, according to the results of the discussion of the six people, they played separately, until Lin Xuanzhong finally let everyone win dozens of jade before leaving the gambling house. The coming day is long, and everyone doesn't want to win too much jade at once. On the other hand, the crowd did not dare to attract the attention of the gambling house staff too much.
After leaving the gambling house, there was nothing to do and it was not time to eat, so after keeping the jade, several people made an appointment to go to an open space under the attic together, a place where few people gathered, not to see people to compete, but to learn from each other.
After Lin Xuanzhong and Lao Zhang fought yesterday, there are many people who want to fight with Lin Xuanzhong today, and even Ye Yun is very interested. Not long after, Lin Xuanzhong and one of them got into a fight.
While learning, the other party did not forget to guide Lin Xuanzhong. One after another, as a result, there were more and more members of the mercenary army, and finally there were several fifth-order martial cultivators to guide Lin Xuanzhong. Originally, it was a little difficult to fight against a fourth-order martial cultivator without using the Eight Desolation Steps, but at the end of the day, Lin Xuanzhong could compete with the ordinary Fourth-Order Martial Cultivator even without using the Eight Desolation Steps.
At the end of the day, Lin Xuanzhong's progress is greater than that of ordinary people who have practiced for three months, which shows that someone to guide Lin Xuanzhong is like a tiger with good qualifications.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the day, Lin Xuanzhong has been criticized many times because of his slow learning, and every time Lin Xuanzhong can realize his mistakes, he can't refute their criticism at all, and he naturally suffers a lot of grievances in his heart, of course, now Lin Xuanzhong has gained more joy brought by the progress of strength.
For the next few days, it was as usual, wandering around the gambling house in the morning, after which everyone would gather to compete with each other, and in the evening naturally use the jade won in the morning to enjoy themselves in the tavern.
For several days, everyone did not know how much jade they had won from the gambling house and how much jade they had spent in the tavern. In short, because of Lin Xuanzhong's relationship, the living conditions of many people in the mercenary team have improved greatly, and it may be the best few days of eating ever.
There is everything in the food and wine, as long as it is something in the post station, everyone eats it. Moreover, there are people in the team who use the money they win to buy some materials for the team to travel in the post station, sharing a lot of pressure for the middle-aged team leader.
Unconsciously, five days passed, and in the five days, every time he fought with others, Lin Xuanzhong only walked three steps in a row at most. Because he was worried that taking four steps would attract attention, but despite this, the middle-aged team leader still saw that Lin Xuanzhong was using the Lin family's eight desolate steps.
The Lin family is no longer what it used to be, there is nothing strange about the children of the Lin family living outside, and the middle-aged team leader didn't think there was anything bad about Lin Xuanzhong deliberately hiding his identity. As long as Lin Xuanzhong is not dangerous to the mercenary team, the middle-aged team leader can accept Lin Xuanzhong's existence.
Of course, because of Lin Xuanzhong's concealment, the middle-aged team leader who was also good at body skills was naturally very interested in Lin Xuanzhong's attainments in the Eight Desolation Steps, but in the past few days, even if the fifth-order martial cultivator made a move, Lin Xuanzhong would take three steps at most. Up to now, the middle-aged team leader thinks that Lin Xuanzhong can only take three steps in a row at most.
