Chapter 18 Fang Lang of the Past is here again
At this moment, it is noon, and the long sun is in the sky, sprinkling speckled light and shadow on the roadside.
The streets are deserted with pedestrians, but the vicinity of the Temple is still bustling.
"Sanduozhai is a bookstore, I thought that the pharmacy where I went to the city to buy medicine is nearby, and I am usually used to coming here to read books, so I just happened to stop by the way and will not delay the business of buying medicine, yesterday I read a few fresh texts and ancient books there......" Fang Xing said some gossip to make up for the omission, while secretly reviewing the mistakes of his previous careless words, his expression couldn't help but be a little trance.
Right now, Fang Xing and his party were approaching a narrow road near the front of the City God Temple, and the people and pedestrians on the side of the road were already crowded together. Although their group was freshly dressed and angry, their momentum was extraordinary, and the guards around them were even more fierce and vicious threats to drive away passers-by. But there were too many people on the road, and the team was still moving slower and slower, as if a drunk man was moving with cat's steps.
The guards, who had been quite restrained in their demeanor because of Fang Chuanwu's presence before, finally couldn't bear it anymore. Some scolded and beat with scabbards, and some directly brandished horsewhips and whipped passers-by in the face, chest, and back. The heavy whip crackled, bringing out one blood stain after another.
The people on the side of the road, huddled in fear, with pain and anger on their faces that could not be concealed, could only respond with numb and suppressed cries of pain in the face of these brutal horsemen.
"Forget it! Stop! β
Fang Xing came back to his senses from the trance of self-examination, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly persuaded him. However, before the end of the words faded, Fang Xing immediately saw a horsewhip fall from his eyes, slamming heavily on a ragged woman, leaving a bright blood mark. The woman hunched her shoulders and let out an uncontrollable moan, but her body twitched in pain, but she still protected her body.
"Stop!"
Fang Xing's heart was full of anger, and the unbearable scene in front of him couldn't help but remind him of a previous encounter.
One year, on a snowy day in the month of Layue, he braved the cold to enter the city, and a team of freshly dressed horsemen laughed past him. The whip knocked down a white-haired old man in front of him and whipped off his turban. The old man who fell to the ground tripped and rolled with him in the muddy snow. He was drenched and embarrassed, and almost froze on the way home, but the old man was dead, dead in front of him, with his own eyes.
That dark memory, with the flying of the horsewhip, suddenly came alive in Fang Xing's mind, and he couldn't help but make his cheeks flush and his eyebrows frown.
But the whip never stopped, and fell heavily again.
"Smack!"
Another blood streak appeared, and the woman staggered, her body shook, revealing a delicate little face under herβthe woman was clearly protecting an ignorant little girl.
"Such a poor mother and daughter can do it!" Fang Xing roared angrily in his heart, and he looked at the whip-bearer with a pair of long eyebrows as a sword. However, after seeing the murder, Fang Xing's angry eyes couldn't help but shrink - this is a character who is not easy to mess with.
The person who whipped was a Qi Refiner among the guards, named Sun Kai, who was a top master in the [Lower Three Days]. Just now, he had the most ferocious attitude towards pedestrians, and every time he twitched the whip, he would beat a person to the flesh and blossom, vomit blood and fall to the ground. The woman in front of him stubbornly refused to fall to the ground, which made him extremely unhappy, he had already been provoked by the untouchables under him, ignoring Fang Xing's words, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes, the leather whip was raised high again. This time, Fang Xing saw it really, and this time it was clearly going to be heavily pumped on the girl's face.
"Can you do it against such a big child? Is this not a human thing? Fang Xing couldn't bear it anymore after allβhe couldn't do this kind of thing, and he couldn't sit idly by!
Fang Xing took a deep breath and dispelled the retreat in his heart, he had never been afraid of the bullying of a great master like Fang Wu in the [Middle Three Days] before he was reborn. Now that he is really angry and has been a human being for two lives, are he still afraid of this [next three days] puppet?
The young man, whose blood had not yet cooled down, grabbed the whip that was still about to be swung, and shouted violently: "Stop! What are you doing here! β
Sun Kai was about to whip the horrified little face, but he didn't pay attention, and was caught by the furious Fang Xing. The hatred in his heart was hard to quench, his eyes widened, and the whip swung towards Fang Xing in turn.
Fang Xing was furious!
- "Bastard thing! Dare to shoot at me! β
In a rage, Fang Xing couldn't help but use the luck method of [Innate Tiger Roaring Strength] again, and a faint roar hovered around him, turning into a white-fronted tiger and attacking Sun Kai's horse.
- "Get out! β
Fang Xing snorted, he knew that his cultivation had only been half a day, and it was entirely by virtue of the blessings left by the Vulture Ancestor that he barely touched the threshold of the first layer of true qi fetal movement of Qi refining, and he was definitely not Sun Kai's opponent, so he made up his mind to attack Sun Kai's mount.
With Fang Xing's angry roar, the poor yellow horse let out a mournful roar, startled his forelimbs into the air, and slammed his master to the ground, even the whip rolled to the ground in vain.
Sun Kai whipped the whip, Fang Xing snatched the whip, Sun Kai whipped again, and Fang Xing roared and startled the horse.
All of this was found in the moment of lightning, and when others came back to their senses, Sun Kai had already been overturned to the ground.
Sun Kai got up from the sludge on the ground, and his shiny brocade clothes were already stained with all kinds of debris, like a rag.
He sharpened his throat and trembled his voice, and said with shame and anger: "Good bastard! I'm going to tear you up! β
Even today, Fang Xing's performance is outstanding, which is eye-catching and impressive. But the long-term contempt still remained in the minds of these martial artists, which made Sun Kai speechless in anger.
At this moment, an angry voice exploded like a muffled thunderbolt, waking Sun Kai up from his rage. This is Fang Chuanwu's voice.
- "Enough! β
Fang Chuanwu's tiger eyes that were not angry and self-righteous shot out of a palpitating cold look, and when his eyes looked around, the jet-black horsewhip in his hand had already pulled out towards Sun Kai with a faint purple light.
The whip was powerful and heavy, bringing a terrible 'crackling' sound in the air, and it was heavily whipped on Sun Kai's back, cutting through a large piece of thick fabric, penetrating the clothes, and a stream of red slowly seeped out, Sun Kai didn't dare to resist and dodge under the pain, but gritted his teeth and endured the ensuing whipping.
A sticky sound, accompanied by Sun Kai's muffled snort, set off Fang Chuanwu's figure in the sun, and it was like a huge shadow in people's hearts.
Everyone was shocked, Fang Wu opened his mouth, but he still didn't dare to intercede for Sun Kai after all.
Even the woman who was buried in the calf just now was also alarmed, and the resentment flashing in her eyes gradually turned into an unbearable look, only the little girl in her arms still looked innocent, looking at the scene in front of her, clapping her hands, but soon her mother gagged her mouth.
Fang Chuanwu whipped more than ten lashes in one breath, until the corners of Sun Kai's mouth were uncontrollably overflowing with blood, and then he stopped.
He asked Sun Kai angrily: "Are you convinced?" β
Sun Kai shrank his head and neck, and replied in a weak voice: "My subordinates are convinced!" Be completely convinced! Between the lips opened and closed, blood dripped.
"Humph! That's it! Fang Chuanwu snorted coldly, then turned his head to Fang Xing and said, "You are satisfied with my disposition." β
"It's all up to the eldest brother, and the younger brother has no opinion."
Fang Xing was very calm and restrained on his face, but in fact, there were turbulent waves in his heart, just now he only hesitated for a short while, and he was shocked by Fang Chuanwu's overwhelming momentum.
At that moment, he realized how terrible Fang Chuanwu was.
Fang Xing devoured the two essences of the Spirit Vulture Ancestor in the Lingtai state of mind, just like taking a dose of great tonic medicine. As an existence above the Innate Great Grandmaster, the Spirit Eagle Ancestor's perception of the aura of heaven and earth made Fang Xing's true qi move overnight and step into the avenue of qi refining and cultivation. And after the "Innate Tiger Fu True Scripture" left by the Eagle Ancestor was comprehended by him for a while, he was more like a peerless sword.
Today, Fang Xing traveled all the way, urging the tiger to roar and be invincible, which made him even have a sense of vanity that the tiger can travel in the mountains and forests and can be wanton.
However, compared with the majesty of the King of Beasts and the huge momentum of Fang Chuanwu's body, there was immediately a difference between high and low, Fang Chuanwu was like a majestic mountain overwhelmed in front of him, quietly but with a shocking domineering coercion.
This was like a timely spring rain, extinguishing the pride and impetuousness that diffused in Fang Xing's heart.
"In front of everyone's eyes, to a Qi refiner who has come to the Third Heaven and the Yin Soul Period, he will fight if he says it. The first person of the new generation in Dongping really lives up to his name! Fang Xing was amazed again in his heart.
Sun Kai's fleshy injuries and deferential expression from the heart made Fang Xing truly touch the tip of the iceberg of Fang Chuanwu's powerful strength, and in addition to the horror in his heart, he also vaguely felt that if Fang Chuanwu wanted to kill himself, it would be like stepping on an ant to death, just one blow would be all it would take - this was a beast's innate sensitivity to danger.
Fortunately, in front of him, Fang Chuanwu's feeling for him was acceptable.
"Fortunately, I still have time to gather the strength to change myself!" The thirst for power in Fang Xing's heart was urgent again.
Seeing that the first evil was punished, the pedestrians who were beaten around fell to the ground one after another: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness." β
Someone said: "This son is chivalrous and righteous, amazing!" β
Someone else said: "The two sons are great people!" β
Some people even said: "Thank you Lord Qingtian for making decisions for us!" β
In short, the sound of praise is endless.
However, Fang Chuanwu's expression did not change, turning a blind eye to the people and praises on the side of the road, as if this scene had never happened. His voice was still so cold that it made people feel cold: "It's okay if you have no opinion, let's go!" β
Fang Wu took the opportunity to spill a lot of copper coins, and shouted again: "The Fang family is doing business, and the idlers are scattered!" β
The guards also shouted in unison: "The Fang family is doing business, and the idlers are scattered!" β
A group of mighty and strong men who have condensed their blood and qi and have achieved qi refining have loud voices, causing the air to vibrate slightly.
"Fang family?" I don't know who in the crowd screamed.
There are countless people with the surname Fang in Dongping, but when it comes to the Fang family, people will only think of one Fang family.
"Cattle and sheep in the city, grass outside the city, and grass outside the city eat cattle and sheep." This is an absurd nursery rhyme sung by three-year-old children in the prefecture.
The Dongfang family, a powerful clan that occupies nearly half of the county, has brought endless fear to the common people of Pingtou under the name of Hehewei.
Under word of mouth, there were bursts of exclamations from the surrounding crowd, and many people had begun to scatter in fear.
The woman who knelt on the ground was also frightened inexplicably, only the little girl was still tilting up with a small face, her eyes were rolling, and her big eyes were shining with curiosity, looking at Fang Xing.
The woman hurriedly kowtowed a few times, and then hurried away with the child in her arms. Before leaving, the little girl was still grimacing at Fang Xing in her mother's arms.
Fang Xing secretly smiled bitterly.
Looking at the frightened and dodgy expressions on the faces of the people who were bowed around, Fang Xing felt a burst of melancholy in his heart.
Once he was able to move with real qi and swallow clouds and mist, he was far away from his past life.
When was he a member of this crowd. Thinking about it now, it seems that the tragic scene is still happening in front of him, but now, his situation has changed dramatically.
In the past, the people who were beaten and suffered under the horse are now high rollers. Such a world of difference, as if Sun Kai's whip just now tore apart his past and present out of thin air, splitting a chasm.
"Let's go!" He whispered, leaving it behind.
In a trance, the sound of horses' hooves rattled and soon, the bookstore arrived.
