Strange Worlds: The Sequence

  Chapter 44 Nanshan Old Man

  In the Shangbang ghost market in Donghe Prefecture, under the locust tree in the southeast corner, there is an old man in black robes who has been buying various breath-suppressing techniques for a long time.

  As long as it is a breath-holding technique that he has never seen before, it can be exchanged for any book of martial arts on his booth.

   This black-robed old man was later confirmed by the player to be the fourth elder of the Huizhou merchant gang.

  At the same time, he is also the 103rd "Shou Gui" Nanshan old man on the Shen Ding list.

   Calling him "Shou Gui" is not scolding him, because this senior from Nanshan has survived four Huizhou merchants.

   Moreover, every gang leader is dead.

  The old man Nanshan was born when Nanming was established three hundred years ago. Now that Nanming is crumbling, he is still alive.

  The long life span of nearly a thousand years is precisely because of its characteristic "turtle lives long" in the [Medicine Sequence].

   This innate trait, which is the same as Murong Yue's [Food Sequence] trait "Glutton", allows the old man of Nanshan to sleep like a black turtle to prolong his lifespan.

  During the period of slumber, his lifespan will slowly recover.

  Every ten years of sleep, the life span of the elderly in Nanshan will be extended by one year.

  But there is a prerequisite for this kind of deep sleep, that is, it must rely on various breath holding techniques.

  Once his body adapts to the breathing method of this breath holding technique, the old man Nanshan will wake up from his deep sleep.

   At this time, it is necessary to replace with a new breath suppression technique.

  So the Huishang Shangbang is doing its best to collect breath-holding techniques, just to help the elderly in Nanshan prolong their lives.

  The "Daxuan Guixi Zhending Gong" taught by Baimei is known to Chen Yuyan, and it is one of the few breath-holding techniques that has not been collected by the old man of Nanshan.

  The remaining few books are either far away overseas, or locked in the deep palace.

  However, even if all these breath-holding techniques are collected by the old man Nanshan, he will not have much time to live.

  He has been at the top of the sky for eight or ninety years, and nearly three-quarters of the time will be spent in deep sleep.

  Back to the rented courtyard, first cooked a pot of soup and fed it to Murong Yuehou, then Chen Yuyan came to her room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

  He took out "Daxuan Guixizhen Dinggong" and read it carefully.

  Before he exchanged it with Nanshan old man, he had to learn this innate level breath-holding technique first.

  Innate swordsmanship and swordsmanship are common in the rivers and lakes, but it is not easy to find a book of innate level for the abstruse breath-holding technique.

   This is equivalent to Chen Yuyan exchanging the contribution value of Baimeijiao for two innate martial arts.

   Earn blood.

  In fact, the martial arts exchanged by the Baimei Cult cannot be passed on to outsiders. When they are brainwashed by "Tianmo Strategy Chaos Chapter", the Baimei Cult will instill this concept into everyone's consciousness and make them subconsciously abide by this rule.

  This is much easier to use than any punishment system.

  But for Chen Yuyan, who slipped through the net, this is his chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

  The ghost market only opens on the 15th day of each month. For the ghost market in Donghe Prefecture, Chen Yuyan remembered that he received the wooden sign at the Baiyun Inn on Sanchuan Street, and then went to Baiyun Villa outside the city to participate in the ghost market.

   There are still ten days to go, let's start with Daxuan Turtle Xizhen Dinggong first.

  …

   Early morning.

  Chen Yuyan floated up from the water tank and flipped out of the water tank.

  Daxuan Turtle's Exhalation True Ding Gong was created by imitating Xuangui's breathing.

  This exercise can not only restrain one's breath well, but also greatly prolong the time Chen Yuyan can hold her breath in the water.

   Moreover, the effect of restraining breath in water is better than that on land. If it is lurking in water, it is really like a mysterious turtle in water.

  With Chen Yuyan's current understanding, it took nearly ten days to get started.

  In the past ten days, news came from Baishawu that Zhang Wei and Lin Wenshu had already started fighting.

  As expected by Chen Yuyan, Zhang Wei really poisoned Lin Wenshu first, and then led people to ambush him, trying to kill the latter in one fell swoop.

  However, Lin Wenshu still broke out of the encirclement abruptly by virtue of his tyrannical strength, but he also paid a painful price.

  His right arm is broken.

  After Lin Wenshu escaped, Baishawu was completely divided into two, fighting to the death.

  Come on, Zhang Wei!

  Chen Yuyan shouted silently in her heart.

  Compared to Lin Wenshu, who has the support of the Du family, Zhang Wei, who is still a widow, can solve it better.

  If Zhang Wei can clean up Lin Wenshu before Du's family arrives, it will save Chen Yuyan a lot of effort.

  Walking into the courtyard, Chen Yuyan nodded in satisfaction when she saw Murong Yue was still practicing the big throwing stele hand seriously.

  Although the understanding of these two fools is a bit weak, they are hard-working, and the progress of learning and learning is not too slow.

  Chen Yuyan estimated that she would be able to get started in about a week.

  At the same time, Murong Yue has also developed ten scriptures, and only the last two scriptures have not yet been developed.

  Seeing that it was Chen Yuyan who came, Murong Yue made more vigorous movements with his hands, shouting non-stop.

  Chen Yuyan shook her head and laughed, and walked out of the courtyard.

   Came to Baiyun Inn, paid fifty taels of silver, and Chen Yuyan successfully got the wooden sign for admission to the ghost market.

  The opening time of the ghost market is very short, only two or three hours.

  Since Baiyun Villa is not far from Qingke County, he must set off immediately so that he can catch up with the ghost market before dark.

   Dusk.

  Sparse shadows and slanting water, clear and shallow water, dark fragrance floating at moon dusk.

  Looking at the villa in the forest in front of him, Chen Yuyan took out his black robe and cloak and put it on his body.

  The wide brim of the hat covered most of his face, and only his mouth and chin could be seen from the outside.

   Then start the Daxuan Turtle Breath True Ding Gong, covering the breath on his body.

   In this case, unless the strength is much higher than that of Chen Yuyan, others will basically not be able to see Chen Yuyan's true strength.

  He didn't hide his internal strength and disguised himself as an ordinary person.

   Some brainless idiots will really treat Chen Yuyan as an ordinary person, and then plot evil.

  With the Daxuan Guixizhen Dinggong, it will be much easier for Chen Yuyan to go fishing and enforce the law in the future.

  No matter who they are, they all have the heart of a sixth child.

  As the sky darkened, the gate of Baiyun Villa slowly opened.

  The ghost market is open.

  Chen Yuyan mixed in the crowd and rushed into Baiyun Villa with the flow of people.

  These people come to the ghost market to buy things, and the merchants who sell goods will go in early.

   Walking into Baiyun Villa, the crowd immediately dispersed.

  Everyone remained silent and did not make any sound.

   Even if it is to buy things, the communication between the two parties is limited to black and white, and there will be no verbal communication.

   This is the rule of the ghost market.

  As soon as he entered the ghost market, Chen Yuyan went straight to the southeast corner of the villa.

  An old locust tree lay tremblingly in the corner, and the white-haired old man wearing a ghost mask sat cross-legged under the locust tree, with hundreds of tokens placed in front of him.

  Each token is engraved with the name of martial arts.

  Chen Yuyan came to the booth and knelt down to look through them one by one.

  Thousand Spiders and Myriad Poisonous Hands, Tiangang Finger, Taisu Yin Gong, Long River Sunset Sword Art, Giant Spirit Mahamudra, and the Secret Art of Relaxing the Mind.

  Each one is a superior innate martial art, which made Chen Yuyan's eyes turn red.

  But he knew that he had to exchange the Daxuan Guixi Zhending Kung Fu for the Jade Bone Kung Fu.

  Once this opportunity is lost, if you want to get the Jade Bone Art again, unless you go to the Western Regions, there is little hope for other places.
