Chapter 104: A Different Kind of Rivers and Lakes
The rivers and lakes of the world, there are countless sects, large and small, reflecting each other.
There are immortal-like monks in the upper third-grade realm, and naturally there are lower-third-grade monks who are crawling at the bottom of the rivers and lakes or are silent.
There is blood and rain in the rivers and lakes every day, but it is only the difference between the size of the matter and the distance of the impact.
Although the rivers and lakes are not only fighting, killing, and killing, but there are many other things, but fighting and killing is the main melody of the rivers and lakes. As the saying goes, "don't fight, don't know each other", fighting is the commonplace of Jianghu people, especially some low-level Jianghu people, for these people at the bottom of the rivers and lakes with the largest number of bases, once they fight, they can't avoid hanging colors, and serious injuries will be seriously injured or even killed on the spot.
There are imperial courts in all places, but there is almost no binding force for the rivers and lakes, and the only ones who can bind the people in the rivers and lakes in various places are the local Jianghu sects - of course, except for the four empires, and Zhongzhou is even more excepted.
In Zhongzhou, there are a lot of people who do not agree with each other, and basically they are prone to friction in crowded occasions, and there is a little friction, because of the large number of people, they can't get off the table, the most important thing in the rivers and lakes is in addition to righteousness, is the face, so a little friction in a crowded place can make two middle-aged men who are not confused or even the year of destiny do it.
At this time, there was a friction in a restaurant in a town of a small dynasty in Zhongzhou.
The cause is very small, just because a table of drinkers on the second floor of the restaurant drank all the time for a while, spoke louder, blew some cowhides, and then made a table of men on the first floor unhappy, and went up to say that the voice of the table of drinkers on the second floor was quieter, who knew that there was a person at the table on the second floor who drank too much and said a few rough words. This made the man who was already unhappy and came up to remind him even more unhappy, and then he began to curse in a quarrel, and then the people at the two tables slapped the case one after another, glaring at each other on the second floor of the restaurant.
At this time, it was evening, it was the moment when business was booming in the restaurant, and the restaurant was full of dozens of Jianghu men, who now saw that there might be a fight to start, and they were full of interest, all looking at the two groups of Jianghu men who were staring at each other.
They were also very annoyed by the loud noise of the drinkers on the second floor before, but the drinkers at that table had some strength and fame in this town, so everyone who knew the bottom of the story didn't make any moves, but the younger swordsmen at that table were obviously from somewhere else, so they didn't know the details, and they dared to "stir up trouble" because they had some strength and ability.
Indeed, although the rivers and lakes are based on status, how did the status of the rivers and lakes come about? Naturally, only those with hard fists and ruthless swords have status. These seven young swordsmen from other lands relied on their swordsmanship, so they dared to look at the five middle-aged men with thick waists and strong bodies.
The hands of these seven swordsmen were all resting on the long swords worn at their waists, ready to draw their swords as quickly as possible and use the most ruthless swordsmanship. And the five rugged men also clenched their fists, and their big eyes like copper bells were bulging, as if their eyes could kill people, and ordinary children would probably be scared to cry and have nightmares every day if they saw such murderous eyes.
"What's the matter, you melon baby who doesn't have a few hairs and wants to stir up trouble?" asked the tall middle-aged man standing in the middle in a rough voice.
The swordsmen were obviously bleeding from their faces, most of them were thirty years old, and they were actually called melon babies by this person who was only a dozen years older than them, and they were so rightly said in front of so many people, they were even more angry in their hearts! There was also a sense of shame welling up in their hearts.
The gray-clothed swordsman, who was also standing in the middle of the seven swordsmen, replied loudly: "Rely on the old to sell old things!
This is not like it was specifically said to the men opposite, but more like it was said to the surrounding visitors, sure enough, the rest of the swordsmen's faces eased significantly at this time, and then looked at the middle-aged men on the opposite side who were "relying on the old and selling the old" provocatively.
The tall man looked at his companions around him, and then looked at the few boys in front of him with disdain, "Hehe, just a few of you?"
As soon as the tall man finished speaking, he raised his right foot and kicked it over!
Even if those swordsmen were ready to fight, they didn't expect the middle-aged man on the opposite side to be so direct! So the gray-clothed swordsman standing in the middle of the seven swordsmen didn't react for a while, and was directly kicked away by the tall middle-aged man!
The gray-clothed swordsman flew out upside down and smashed on the table in the corner of the second floor of the restaurant, smashing the wooden table that was not very strong into pieces.
When the other six swordsmen saw that their companions had really been beaten, they immediately reacted, and they shouted angrily and slashed towards the middle-aged men who had already punched and kicked.
That's how the fight began.
Those middle-aged men were obviously higher in cultivation, and their internal strength lingered in their fists, and from time to time they collided with those long swords that split their heads and covered their faces, making a sound of "dang dang dang". However, those swordsmen had two more swords and numbers in their hands, which also made up for the slight gap in strength, which can be described as evenly matched.
The two sides soon scuffled together, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that the men who were the kings and hegemons in the town actually moved their hands, and his eyes were desperate, he didn't dare to stop it at all, and he couldn't stop it, only with a sad face to watch the tables and chairs on the second floor constantly being smashed by people or being used as weapons, or directly being chopped by the long swords of those foreign swordsmen.
From time to time, there were cheers from the crowd of spectators, because the restaurant was big enough, so those drinkers on the first floor flocked to the second floor, most of them knew those men, and they clapped their hands and cheered at this time, regardless of whether those men suffered a loss or took advantage, anyway, there was a good show to watch, and they had a high interest in clapping.
Among them, there are also a few people from other countries, who don't know what the situation is, and don't know the background of the two sides of the fight, so they don't dare to clap their hands and cheer loudly at will.
In the crowd of spectators, there was a young woman who looked at the group of people who were fighting together with a smile, and she looked like she was obviously from a foreign country, because her clothes were not the style of this dynasty.
And she looks so good that everyone who sees her at first is shocked, but no one dares to offend easily, because she exudes a cold and dangerous aura that makes people daunting.
This is the demon demon from the Northern Wilderness Ice Divine Palace, she walks the rivers and lakes while cultivating, and now she has entered the realm of the eight-rank grandmaster, and the momentum she invisibly exudes has a grandmaster atmosphere, this amazing martial arts atmosphere, people with a high realm can see it at a glance, but people with a low realm can't see it, they only feel that this woman is extremely dangerous.
She is now gradually adapting to the atmosphere of Zhongzhou, yes, she has been in Zhongzhou for six or seven years, and she is no longer as timid and dazed as when she first arrived here, she has completely recovered her lively atmosphere in the Northern Wilderness. This can be seen from her eyes on those people in the rivers and lakes who fight for a little thing, she no longer frowns and looks at those fight scenes with displeasure as she did at the beginning, but looks at this almost invisible scene in the Northern Wilderness with a smile and bright eyes.
Although she still doesn't fully understand why the people of Zhongzhou regard the faces of the rivers and lakes as so important, because in the Northern Wilderness, the powerful ones are counted, just like their Ice God Palace, ordering half of the sects in the Northern Wilderness, once they give orders, who dares to stop? Therefore, she has hardly seen any scenes of people fighting in the rivers and lakes, let alone such a scene as in Zhongzhou-people with a lower realm are often not afraid of those "seniors" who are older and more powerful!
This made her heart ignite a strong curiosity about the rivers and lakes of Zhongzhou and the desire to thoroughly understand this place, which is known as the "holy land of the world's Kyushu rivers and lakes".
She gradually understood and gradually discovered that the rivers and lakes here are different from the rivers and lakes in the Northern Wilderness.
