Estrangement

silence……

Chu He didn't hear Hong Shou's answer until he left here. Maybe silence was another answer.

As Chu He left, the door slowly closed, taking away the last ray of sunlight in the hall. The oil lamps lit in the corners ignited spontaneously without wind, and the swaying orange fireworks illuminated the kind cheeks carved by the earth's magic knife, adding a touch of warmth.

A sinister atmosphere.

"Your apprentice is very smart."

A voice as hoarse as a millstone sounded from behind the sculpture of the Earth God. The village chief gathered up his gray hair and walked out calmly.

"What's the point of being smart? As long as people who are not stupid stare at this sculpture, they can always find clues. You and I know this."

Hong Shou crossed his arms across his chest and stared at the village chief with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, no matter how well disguised it is, leaking a trace of aura is enough to make people tremble." The village chief stretched out his hand to gently touch the statue, with an inexplicable luster flashing in his eyes: "But now it is our patron saint, helping us

Having blocked countless dangers, I think you should put aside your prejudices..."

"If you fart!"

Hong Shou's face darkened and he cursed loudly: "The murders in Li Village are vivid in my mind. How can you make me believe it? It's better to rely on your own fists to rely on these greedy ghosts!"

"Hong Shou! Today is different from the past, don't you understand?" The village chief looked at Hong Shou coldly and shouted sternly.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them at this moment. They used to be close friends outside the home, but in private, they had this tense and antagonistic relationship.

The village chief did not live up to his weak image, and said coldly: "The weirdness in Li Village has been solved. You should know very well what relationship it has with our Tutou Village! Only by fully utilizing the power of the Earth God can we fight with it.

contend!"

"Hmph! Instead of believing in weirdness to save people, I believe in this knife in my hand!" Hong Shou held the handle of the knife and said with murderous intent: "I could kill back then... I can still do it now!"

boom!

The village chief slapped the altar hard, pointed at Hong Shou, and retorted coldly: "Hong Shou, you are already old!"

"Do you still think you are the same person you were back then?"

Hong Shou Mosuo held the shiny copper handle and said calmly: "If I can't do it, then there will be my apprentice... In short, if it is really that ghost, I will be the first to rush out."

"Ha... you expect that kind of trash who will fall into confusion when seeing something strange for the first time? Is this your naive idea?" The village chief tore off the mask of hypocrisy and sneered bluntly.

"Whatever you think."

Hong Shou turned around and stopped arguing with the village chief on this topic, "I am a warrior conferred by the imperial court. As long as you don't have my consent, you can't even think of breaking the seal! Give up this idea!"

With a bang, the door closed, and the lobby once again fell into darkness, leaving only the village chief with a gloomy face.

Jingle bells——

Finally, the furious village chief waved his sleeves as if to vent his anger, and the incense burner on the altar table was swept to the ground, and the ashes were scattered all over.

"It's not enough to make a fool of yourself!"

…………

Thick fog...the plowed village was wiped out...the floating human skin...the abnormal tension...the weirdness in the clay sculpture...

On the way back, Chu He recalled what happened in just two hours, and felt increasingly insecure in his heart.

He doesn't know how long he can survive if he leaves the village?

No! You have to survive no matter what!

No one can try to kill me!

Confusing thoughts filled his mind, Chu He's eyes showed a fierce look, his fists were clenched tightly, and his desire for life was stronger than ever.

"call……"

After calming down his turbulent emotions, Chu He called out the panel.

【Chu River】

[Martial Arts: Golden Bell Cover (First Level)]

[Energy: 0]

This is what he relies on to survive in this world!

Walking to the end of the village, I opened the door of the courtyard at the top of the wall and saw at a glance, black-clad disciples in groups of three or three, playing with fists and sticks in the martial arts training ground, or chatting casually, as if nothing happened.

Chu He glanced at it and walked straight through the martial arts training ground towards his senior brother's residence. Unfortunately, when he arrived at his senior brother Han Zhong's courtyard, he missed him and failed to see him.

Therefore, he could only do the next best thing, go to the martial arts hall in the courtyard, and take out two sample secret books bound in light yellow thread.

The only difference in doing this is that there will be less personal guidance from the senior brother, but for Chu He who has a modifier, this guidance seems to be dispensable.

Chu He returned to his small courtyard, sat on a stone bench under the withered old willow tree, and took the lead in releasing the secret book of the Golden Bell.

Study it carefully and memorize it carefully.

It was getting dark, Chu He closed the secret book, and with the influence of his predecessor, he could barely remember the contents in front of him.

Golden Bell Cover, as the name suggests, is a horizontal training technique focused on enhancing defense. There are three levels in total. The golden light on the body surface will become more brilliant with each level broken through, making the condensed golden bell more indestructible. After completing three levels, you can gain nearly two thousand kilograms of strength.

Juli.

As for the cultivation method, it is roughly to beat the body every day to stimulate its potential, then soak in a special medicinal bath to meditate, and use special luck methods to open the pores and meridians, so that the weak and hungry body can fully absorb the power of the medicine and strengthen the body's defense.

"Ten-year-old asparagus, the tail of an adult silver-tailed rat, the roots of a twenty-year-old red blood lotus..."

Chu He looked at the medicated bath formula curiously and was suddenly stunned. He didn't know most of these medicinal materials. Even if he knew some, they were only precious medicinal materials that he had heard of and never seen before.

No wonder there are so many people practicing the Golden Bell Shield, but very few can reach the second and third levels. Without the aid of these medicinal baths, it would be extremely difficult to break through by just relying on Ao Meditation Sitting.

Chu He didn't know much about the other red line boxing manual. He only knew that he could practice this boxing method only after breaking through the golden bell. If he practiced it from the beginning, he might leave serious sequelae on his arms.

As for its power, it goes without saying that, together with the Golden Bell Cover, they are Hong Shou's two greatest secrets, so they should not be underestimated.

However, it is noted in the book that this kind of martial arts with only three levels belongs to low-level martial arts and is classified as one of the weaker techniques.

But... so what?

As long as you can keep yourself alive, it is the strongest martial art.

Looking up at the stars, I don't know when it has become dark.

Chu He returned to the house, sat cross-legged on the kang, rolled up the quilt, looked at the flickering oil lamp, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Now, the top priority is to figure out the source of energy, and at the same time, practice Red Line Boxing to the beginning.

I can't wait any longer, the village is getting weirder and weirder.

As the night progressed, sleepiness set in. Chu He swept into bed, holding a wooden stick warily in his hand, and closed his eyes to sleep.

When Chu He's breathing became long and gentle, the tightly closed courtyard door was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind...

snap——

The sound of slight footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and under the dim light, a figure was reflected on the oilcloth window.

Chu He's eyes suddenly opened and he thundered loudly.

"who!?"
Chapter completed!
