Chapter 33: The Road Meets a Bloody Man
After Ling Huming and the caravan were separated, they arrived at their destination, Gejia Town, in less than five days.
When walking with Zhu San before, Zhu San also specially introduced Gejia Town to Ling Huming.
This Gejia Town, as its name suggests, has the largest number of people surnamed Ge in the whole town, accounting for half of the people, and the biggest local force is the Ge family.
The Ge family does not refer to all the people surnamed Ge in Gejia Town, but the children of the Ge family who belong to the lineage, otherwise, the people of the Ge family occupy half of the people in the town, this is not a mess.
When he first listened to Zhu San's introduction, Ling Hu Ming felt a trace of anger from the other party's words, especially whenever he talked about the Ge family, the tone of his speech was even heavier, as if Zhu San and the Ge family had a bitter enmity.
Home with
At this moment, Ling Huming was standing outside a city wall, and there was an endless stream of people walking around the gate of the city wall, divided into two groups, one group of people came in from the outside, and Ling Huming saw that these outsiders had to register before they could enter.
There was another group of people who went out from the town, presumably to work outside, and they all brought hoes and farm tools with them, and they didn't need to register, they could go out directly.
The city wall is not very powerful and domineering, after all, it is just a small town, but it does not have any baggage equipment like a large city.
Above the city walls, twenty or thirty guards armed with crossbows and spears stood still, their eyes blazing at the pedestrians beneath the walls. The guards armed with crossbows divided into two groups and walked back and forth.
As soon as an outsider dares to force a leap below, the crossbowmen standing above the walls will meet the attack.
Ling Huming saw that although there were many guards on the gate in front of him, there were more than twenty of them, but there were only three martial artists among them, and they were all only martial artists of the Body Refining Realm.
Ling Huming stood behind an old man in rags, and when the old man walked towards the guard, the guard glanced at the old man with a look of disgust, thinking that the old man was a fugitive from out of town, so he unceremoniously urged him.
"Let's go, we don't take wanderers here!"
"My lord, I'm not a wanderer, my nephew is seriously ill and about to collapse, I want to see him!" the old man said weakly.
"Get out, Lao Tzu doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with you, otherwise you will feel better. The guard shouted at the old man as if he was about to eat someone.
Where did the old man see this formation, his face was immediately frightened and pale, and when he sighed and was about to go back and think of a way, Ling Huming patted the old man's shoulder with one hand and comforted.
"Old man, I'll take you in!"
Ling Hu Ming didn't talk nonsense with the guard in front of him, and directly took out twenty taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the guard.
When handing over the silver to the guard, he made a deliberate look at the guard.
With the silver, the matter was simpler, and the guard immediately changed his face and said with a smile on his face.
"It's still refreshing, you can see that you are a young and promising young man, okay, you go in with this old man!"
He only gave twenty taels of silver to bribe the guard, not only did he directly enter Gejia Town with the old man, but he also allowed Hu Ming to enter directly before he was interrogated.
Ling Huming shook his head and sighed.
"Sometimes, it's still silver that does things quickly!"
When he left Wuling County, Ling Huming carried a large amount of belongings with him, and the silver given to the guards only occupied a small part.
In Ling Huming's eyes, twenty taels is not a matter at all, but in the eyes of the guards, ordinary people only earn one tael of silver a month, and the guards are in a heavy position, and they are only two taels of silver a month.
Ling Hu Ming was generous and directly gave twenty taels of silver, which was his income for ten months, how could he not be overjoyed.
"Thank you, Childe!" After the old man and Ling Huming entered Gejia Town, they hurriedly wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Ling Huming, but fortunately, Ling Huming was quick and stopped the other party in time.
"What are you doing, old man! It's just a trifle. Ling Huming said indifferently.
At this moment, the old man suddenly smiled on his face, just nodded towards Ling Huming, and walked slowly in the other direction without saying a word.
Ling Huming looked at the old man's back, feeling that the other party was completely different from before.
Before he wanted to say something more, the old man had already disappeared from Ling Huming's sight, as if he had teleported in the next second.
"You kid, but you missed a big opportunity!"
Zuo Qiu Ling, who hadn't appeared for a long time, spoke, and looked like he hated iron but couldn't make steel.
It turned out that when Ling Huming stood behind the old man before, Zuo Qiu Ming felt that this old man's strength was extraordinary, although the old man tried his best to hide his true qi, but he was still noticed by Zuo Qiu Ming.
It is precisely because of this that Zuo Qiu Ling deliberately asked Ling Huming to pay more attention to the old man, who knew that Ling Huming would not seize the opportunity.
"Elder Ling, what's the matter, why are you asking me to pay attention to that old man?" Ling Huming shook his head and said in amazement.
"You, the old man just now, if I'm not mistaken, he is a martial artist of the Yuan God Realm, and his martial arts cultivation is no less than that of the main seat in his heyday.
If you take advantage of this opportunity, maybe that person will take you as an apprentice and teach you a mastery, which is much better than your penance. Zuo Qiu Ling shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"What!I!I!" Ling Huming gritted his teeth, unable to speak for a while.
If Zuo Qiu Ling told Ling Huming the truth from the beginning, saying that the other party was the power of the Yuan Shen Realm, then Ling Huming would definitely show his sincerity, but there was only one chance, and there was no regret medicine to sell in the world.
In the mid-air of Gejia Town, an old man in rags stood here, he was the power of the Yuan Shen Realm.
I saw him stroke his pale and long beard, and looked at Ling Huming in Gejia Town and said thoughtfully.
"It's such a strong witch soul fluctuation, it seems that that kid is not simple!"
Since Zuo Qiu Ling could feel the true strength of the old man, the old man could naturally feel the other party in turn, so when Ling Hu Ming discovered that the old man was not simple, the old man also discovered the powerful witch soul fluctuations in Ling Hu Ming's body.
It was precisely because of this that the old man knew early on that it was the witch who deliberately emphasized the young man.
A gust of wind blew, and a cloud like snow swept away, and the old man disappeared into the air in the next moment.
Ling Huming walked into Gejia Town and saw a dazzling array of goods on both sides of the street, some of which were local specialties, and some of which were goods from other places.
I don't know what's going on, Ling Huming feels that this Gejia Town is a little strange, the people in this town look lifeless, like walking corpses.
Ling Huming stepped forward to talk to someone, but the other party didn't have any response, and Ling Huming didn't know if the other party didn't hear it, or didn't want to talk to him at all.
I asked several people about my benefactor on the street in a row, but there was no response.
In desperation, Ling Huming walked to a tavern.
He didn't believe it, with a heavy reward, not to mention asking in the tavern, someone would definitely know his answer.
Ling Huming came to a tavern, and when he saw the shopkeeper coming to the front to deliver tea and water, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Little Er, let me ask you about someone, do you know Chi Yuyao!"
The shopkeeper didn't have any expression, and still poured water on Ling Huming's teacup.
Seeing that the other party did not react, Ling Huming directly took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and put it in front of the shopkeeper.
The eyes of the shopkeeper, who had not shown anything, suddenly trembled, as if he had strengthened his spirit.
Putting away the ten taels of silver on the table, the shopkeeper looked at Ling Huming, and said weakly, "We have no one surnamed Chi in Gejia Town for a long time!"
"There is no one with the surname Chi, what's going on?" Ling Huming wondered.
The shopkeeper looked at the face of the other party's silver taels before him, and looked at Ling Huming again, only this time he spoke into Ling Huming's ear, and his voice was as low as he wanted, as if there was a taboo in this.
"You don't know, two years ago, in Gejia Town, everyone surnamed Chi was arrested by the Ge family, with the Ge family's style of doing things, everyone in the Chi family is afraid that they have recruited the poison of the Ge family!"
Another shopkeeper walked next to him, he probably heard some taboo words, and hurriedly pushed to the shopkeeper who spoke, "Ah Si, you don't want to live anymore, and you still talk about these things!"
The status of this Ge family in Gejia Town is not simple, just like a soil emperor who is far away from the emperor of the mountain, and the power of killing is on the body of the Ge family.
It is precisely because of this that the people of Gejia Town are so afraid of the Ge family, and they are deeply afraid that if they offend, they will invite death.
At that moment, a man covered in blood ran into the tavern.
I saw that this bloody man was like a person standing in a pool of blood, and there was blood on both his head and his feet.
The clothes on his body were in tatters, and the blood had been stained red, and the bloody man looked unusually eerie.
He roared at the people in the tavern, like the fury of a wild beast, and his fangs were outstretched, and his pupils were blood-red.
Everyone in the tavern seemed to know what this bloody man was, and they neither stepped forward to help, nor did they resist, and left the scene in one go, eager to grow more legs and leave the scene quickly.
Ling Huming observed the blood man and found that this blood man did not have any true qi fluctuations on his body, since he was not a martial artist, Ling Huming didn't know why the people in the tavern were so afraid.
Even the shopkeeper of the tavern left without hesitation.
The blood man seemed to be a wild beast that had gone berserk, and when he saw that all the people were afraid to leave, only a young man in front of him was still drinking, and suddenly the green tendons on his face burst out, as if he was congested with blood, and rushed towards Ling Huming like crazy.
Ling Hu Ming saw that the blood man was not a martial artist before, so he relaxed his vigilance against him, and just casually stretched out a punch to resist.
In the next breath, Ling Huming flew out directly, and his whole body hit another table.
