Although he seemed kind-hearted and didn't look like a bad guy, he made me suffer a lot in his formation, so I wasn't very polite to him.
"You are angry. It is a good thing for young people to have a temper. Only those who are incompetent have no temper." The old man said with a smile.
"You took over the shop. The rules set by your grandfather back then were that if you want to stay on Linfeng Street, you must pass three challenges. I am the first one." The old man said with a smile.
I frowned and asked him with some confusion: "Didn't you say that the challenge starts at the end of the month?"
"It's until the end of the month, but you opened the business and took over business, so the challenge is ahead of schedule." The old man said with a smile.
I was a little speechless. I didn't expect this to happen, but it was normal. After all, I was open for business, which was equivalent to officially announcing my debut. It was reasonable for my colleagues in Jishui to come to challenge me.
Although this old man made me suffer a little, he is very capable and looks kind-hearted, so I have a good impression of him.
"Senior, may I ask what your name is?" I asked him respectfully, clasping my fists.
"My name is Wang Chongjiu. I work at a paper shop at the end of Linfeng Street. I was an old acquaintance of your grandfather back then." The old man looked at me and said.
"I've met senior. I offended you a lot just now. Please don't mind, senior." I said quickly and respectfully.
This man is an old acquaintance of my grandfather. He is my senior. I must be polite in front of him.
"You are very good. You have learned Li Laosan's skills at a young age. You will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold on Linfeng Street in the future." The old man looked at me with admiration on his face.
I smiled without being modest, because my grandfather also said that I have learned almost all his skills.
"You have won today's challenge, and there will be another one tomorrow." Wang Chongjiu said to me.
I frowned and felt a little unhappy. I thought that my colleagues in Jishui were too careless. They challenged me one after another without giving me any time to rest. Are they planning to engage in a wheel battle?
As if he could see what I was thinking, the old man smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't think too much, this Linfeng Street values one's strength. Only the strong can gain a foothold here. Your grandfather also walked here in the same way."
Yes, you are his grandson, this is what you must bear."
I nodded. As an outsider from Linfeng Street, if I want to gain a foothold here and suppress the local gangsters here, I must show my ability and make them truly admire me. My grandpa could do it back then, and I can do the same now.
can do it.
"What's the challenge tomorrow?" I couldn't help but ask him.
Wang Chongjiu frowned slightly, and then said: "Tomorrow it will be someone from Xiangxi Corpse Sect who will challenge you."
Hearing his words, the corner of Duanmuqing's mouth twitched, because he was learning the art of removing corpses, and it was said that his master was from a group of corpse-removing craftsmen in western Hunan.
Wang Chongjiu glanced at him and said: "Your master only learned a little bit, let alone you. The person coming tomorrow is Zhu Laoqi from Xiangxi Corpse Raising Sect. He is an expert in corpse raising.
Jishui has been following Zhao Yan for twenty years, and your opponent will be him tomorrow."
"Corpse-raising gate?" When I heard this name, I couldn't help but frown.
The so-called corpse chasing sect is actually divided into many small sects, including corpse chasing, corpse calling, and corpse raising.
Most people are most familiar with killing corpses, because this technique has been performed many times in movies and TV.
The rise of corpse hunting has a lot to do with our traditional thinking. Chinese people have always had the idea that fallen leaves return to their roots and foxes die on the hilltops. This idea is deeply rooted. No matter how far away they are, after death, they hope that fallen leaves will return to their roots and be buried in their homeland.
.
Xiangxi is located in a remote area. In ancient times, men usually went out to work in order to make a living. Coupled with wars, many people died in other places, and the art of exorcism gradually emerged.
It is listed as one of the three great magic arts in western Hunan, along with Gu cultivation and Luohua Cave Girl.
The art of cultivating corpses in exorcism is a change of the art of exorcism. As the name suggests, the art of cultivating corpses is to refine and cultivate corpses, turning the originally lifeless corpses into your own puppets, which can be used to do things that are inconvenient for you.
, Japan’s Shikishin Jutsu is another variant of the Corpse Raising Technique.
It is said that some powerful corpse keepers can turn corpses into zombies with strong bones and iron bones, which is what everyone in the corpse keeping profession aspires to.
The art of raising corpses is a kind of evil art to be precise, and this person is Zhao Yan's friend. It seems that he is here for me. Zhao Yan is the leader of Jishui Feng Shui masters, so
Anyone who challenges me should be arranged by him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Wang Chongjiu and asked him: "Senior, are you and Zhao Yan?"
He was the first colleague to challenge me, so I wondered if he was also in the same group as Zhao Yan.
Wang Chongjiu smiled and said calmly: "I disdain to associate with that kind of people. The reason why I participated in this first game on behalf of Jishui is because I want to show your grandfather how well you have learned his skills."
Hearing his words, I felt warm in my heart and couldn't help but laugh. He is my grandfather's friend. This sentence was a bit like an elder taking a test of a younger student, which made me feel very comfortable.
"So what do seniors think of my abilities?" I asked with a smile.
"He is indeed Li Laosan's grandson, a heroic young man." After he finished speaking, he paused, and then continued: "But don't be complacent, Zhu Laoqi is not simple, and the Black Wind Forest is his territory.
He has been in it for the past twenty years."
I smiled and wasn't too worried. In my opinion, the art of raising corpses was a kind of evil magic after all. If I couldn't deal with that Zhu Laoqi, there was no need to stay in Jishui.
"I am old and I will leave Jishui tomorrow. If you can gain a foothold on Linfeng Street, help me take care of my disciple. His name is Li Gensheng. I will leave the paper shop to him in the future."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left. I wanted to see him off, but he just waved his hand and said: "Tomorrow night, Heifenglin, you have to be more careful."
I faced his back, folded my hands and saluted. He was my grandfather's friend and deserved my respect.
After seeing the old man off, I had something to eat in Duanmuqing's shop, and then went back to sleep.
The next night, I prepared my things and prepared to leave for Black Wind Forest.
"I'll go with you." As soon as I walked to the door, Mu Mu stood up and said to me.
I smiled, shook my head and said, "No, this is someone else's challenge to me. If I want to gain a foothold on Linfeng Street, I have to accept the challenge myself. Your help doesn't count."
Mu Mu thought for a moment, nodded, and sat down again.
"Master, you have to be careful." The female ghost Xiaoyu also looked at me with a worried face.
I smiled at her to reassure her.
"The boss is a god-like figure. Don't worry. It's just a small Black Wind Forest. To the boss, it's like walking on plain ground." The old guy said with excitement. He has always had great confidence in me.
I smiled, walked out, and took a taxi.
Sitting in the car, the driver glanced at me from time to time, as if he wanted to say something.
"Master, what can I do for you?" I asked him.
"Young man, do you really want to go to Black Wind Forest?" I asked with some uncertain timing.
I nodded and said something.
"Young man, what are you doing this late at night? You have to go to that ghost place. Let me tell you, that place is haunted!" the driver said to me nervously.
