MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill-Chapter 149v100 Rules of the Guild Assembly and County Magistrate Chen
Chapter 149: The Rules of the Conspiracy and County Magistrate Chen
The woods are very dense, especially when it is dark now. Even the moonlight is blocked by the towering trees, and only sporadic moonlight shines down, acting as the only illumination.
After arriving here, a cold atmosphere surrounded him. Zhou An felt that even if he stood under the sun at this moment, he might not be able to get warm again.
In the depths of the surrounding woods, a burst of bird calls can be heard from time to time, which is noisy and harsh. Coupled with the dark and gloomy environment, it makes people feel creepy.
The atmosphere brought about by this environment is not only gloomy, but also terrifying, and even carries an unbearable sense of despair.
There are people around, but not many.
Most of them are people from the martial arts world dressed in different ways, while some are wearing the costumes of suppressing spies.
These people looked around with excited expressions on their faces.
Some people clenched their fists, while others moved around from time to time, but without exception, everyone was very excited.
After all, this is a gathering of guilds. Although it is dangerous, it can bring huge opportunities and allow many people to avoid many detours.
Because of this, even the spooky surroundings were diluted a lot.
There were more than ten members of the Zhenshisi who came, and the leading member naturally discovered Zhou An.
After all, in Tingyun Mansion, Zhou An is considered a brand name, and everyone inside them knows him.
The leading member of the Suppression Division lined up the crowd, walked up, and said, "Master Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you."
Those people in the industry, naturally no one dares to refuse.
After all, these members are all wearing spies-suppressing clothes.
As soon as Zhou An came in, their eyes rested on Zhou An.
In this quiet and gloomy environment, a group of members of the Suppression and Rebellion came up to Zhou An, and their attitude was very respectful, even if they didn't want to attract other people's attention.
Zhou An nodded and said, "We just happened to meet here. Does that mean the location we entered was random?"
He looked at it and found that including the people in the industry, there were only about twenty people here.
He has also learned before that the guild has a great attraction for people in the industry, and it is impossible to just come here.
Moreover, only a dozen or so Zhenshisi came, which was not the right number.
As expected, after he finished asking this question, the members of the Zhenshisi immediately nodded and agreed.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, you guessed it right. After entering here, you will randomly fall into different locations, but the ultimate goal is also the guild gathering. Our current location should be the periphery of the guile gathering. "
Hearing this, Zhou An touched his chin and said nothing.
He knew that the members of the Zhenjii had not finished speaking and were waiting to continue.
The members of Zhenshi paused for a moment and continued: "The real gathering is inside, and that's where it begins, but before that, you will experience something."
Zhou An asked: "What did you experience?"
The member of the Suppression Division replied: "A weird gathering is actually a gathering that turns weird. Some people can enter the gathering, but some people can't. After it becomes weird, it becomes that some weirdness is in the gathering. And there are some weird things that you can’t get in. If you want to see the gathering, you have to break through the weird things outside first, otherwise you won’t even be qualified to enter.”
When Zhou An heard this, he roughly understood what it meant.
Handwriting has to fight a battle before he can successfully enter the Guild.
The position he is in now is not even considered a coven.
“Then let’s go, by the way, what’s your name?”
They were all randomly assigned to this place. Zhou An asked for their names and how to address them.
The leading member of the Zhensi hurriedly said: "My name is Zhang Tie, Master Zhou can just call me Xiao Zhang."
If you can talk to this person, you can go out and have a blast in Tingyun Mansion.
Only people inside Tingyun Mansion know how powerful Mr. Zhou is in front of him.
That Moon River is so weird that it was all swallowed up by Mr. Zhou's pot.
If such a deed spreads, wouldn’t the doorstep of that home have to be broken down by visitors?
That is to say, their Yan Sifu often said, you must remember that Mr. Zhou is relatively low-key.
Otherwise, members of the Suppression Division would have to go out every day to show off, and he and this adult had even performed missions together.
Zhou An nodded, as if they knew each other, and said, "By the way, didn't you, Mr. Yan, come in?"
Zhang Tiedao: "Master Yan didn't come in. He deliberately didn't come in this time. If he even comes in, it will be difficult for the Tingyun Prefecture's Suppressing Division to operate."
Zhou An is clear.
It is indeed the case. It would not be good if Tingyun Mansion was robbed after entering.
Zhou An scanned it once and then said: "Let's get started, go straight over."
There is no movement in front of everyone now, because the scene where Zhou An and Zhen Sisi were communicating just now made other people very curious and looking this way.
Now that Zhou An has spoken, Zhang Tie of course did not hesitate at all and took the first step and walked forward.
Before leaving, I also spoke to Zhou An.
With Zhang Tiedai as the leader, no matter how curious the people around him were, they didn’t hesitate and just walked inside.
Zhou An also followed.
A few people walked all the way in, and the deeper they walked in, the deeper the gloomy feeling became.
Especially inside the dark woods, from time to time, the chirping of the birds became clearer and clearer, giving Zhou An a feeling of hair standing on end.
He was not afraid, but had an instinctive reaction. No one can avoid this.
Of course, in addition to this reaction, there is more excitement and anger.
It’s easy to understand why I’m excited, after all, it’s my first time coming in.
For example, when you book a room in a hotel and your goddess comes in wearing stockings under jeans, everyone will be excited.
After all, it is like this when you enter for the first time.
As for the anger, it came from Zhou An being interrupted by this gathering of conspirators.
Just after exploring the way to improve the Eye of Delusion, he was directly pulled in.
Having taken a shower, you said your relatives are here. Isn’t this nonsense?
After walking forward for a while, the chirping of birds became clearer and clearer, like the sound of broken glass rubbing against each other, unpleasant and harsh.
At this time, Zhou An finally knew what was coming from it.
There was a man standing on a tree not far away.
This man has the appearance of a human, but his claws are those of a bird, and his hands have long since disappeared and turned into a pair of wings.
What’s even more outrageous is that there is a pointed beak on the head.
“The little thing looks quite unique.” Zhou An thought to himself.
My eyes moved downwards along the weird ones standing on the tree. Under the tree, there were densely packed weird ones. When I opened my eyes and looked over, I saw that there were thousands of them.
Every strange thing has a strange shape.
Some had long tongues, some were skinny and skinny, and some had injuries on their bodies and their faces were black and blue.
In short, none of them died with a good-looking appearance.
“These are the weird things that can’t be entered?” Zhou An asked.
When they appeared, this group of weird people clearly found out, and they had a sense of bloodthirsty.
This is derived from Wei Wei’s aversion to strangers.
It was also because of their sudden appearance that the people in the group were holding weapons in their hands with a look of vigilance on their faces.
The danger of the guild assembly not only comes from the inside, but even the outermost obstruction is enough to cause attrition.
They planned to have a **** battle, which they had already thought about.
After all, after coming here, I was already prepared to die.
If you want opportunities and don’t take risks, that’s nonsense.
Members of the Zhenlisi also took out their weapons.
The momentum of both sides is constantly confronting each other.
The people present thought that this was a fierce battle, and many people would even die. However, they did not expect that a faint voice echoed in the woods.
Since it was dark night, the sound was extremely clear and everyone present heard it.
“Speed pass.”
It is these two simple words that instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone in the industry turned their attention to Zhou An.
Zhou An had already taken out the cold crystal knife and waved it gently.
It seems to be gentle, but it has thousands of swings.
Due to the fact that the attributes of Pao Ding's Jie Ren Dao skill have been doubled, it created a visual illusion, as if Zhou An did not wield the knife.
The next moment, thousands of jet-black sword lights appeared, covered with a layer of water.
When the black-green sword light appeared, the effect of reading a hundred volumes appeared in front of Zhou An's eyes.
These weird weaknesses are all exposed.
The long sword was pointed at the dark green sword light. The sword light was like a soldier obeying the order. In an instant, it swept towards this strange group of people.
The location we attacked was full of flaws!
The strange touch of the black-green sword light instantly turned into countless equally divided corpses.
The reason why we say it is divided equally is because none of these corpses is complete.
Wherever the black-green sword light passed, it was like locusts passing by, out of control.
Everywhere you can see are corpses in pieces.
After a while, these fragments were mixed with meat paste and turned into smoke and dust all over the ground.
The whole place was silent and silent.
No one spoke.
Everyone present was shocked.
They even looked at Zhou An with fear in their eyes.
There was no one who was not afraid, because the scene in front of him could no longer be described in words.
Even the four words "devastating" are not enough to describe it.
They were ready to fight just now, but these strange things were eliminated by Zhou An in an instant.
And he still swung the knife lightly!
This is a total crushing!
No fancy crushing!
Fantasy is only suitable for those battles of equal strength, but real crushing is so simple and direct.
The light of the sword passed by, not even a blade of grass grew!
At this moment, when the sound of the cold crystal sword being sheathed came out, the quiet scene boiled like a drop of water poured into hot oil.
"Who is this? So terrifying that with one knife, just one knife, you can eliminate thousands of strange creatures?"
“It’s so scary. I’ve never seen this kind of sword technique in my life, and why have I never heard of it?”
“Could it be that he is from Tingyun Mansion? The adults who were in charge of Guisi just now were very respectful to him.”
“I have no regrets in this life to see such sword skills.”
The discussion grew from small to loud. At first there were only one or two, but later it became noisy.
Everyone looked at Zhou An with awe in addition to fear.
It is easy to make a person fearful, but it is difficult to make a person awed.
At this moment, the whole audience was convinced.
Zhou An didn't care, his face was extremely calm.
He was always like this about things that ruined his liver proficiency.
If you say push it quickly, push it quickly, and I won’t bring you all the bells and whistles.
If something looks weird, I’ll just cut it off.
Anyone who hesitates even a little bit today will not be worthy of his title of Liver Emperor.
Zhou An turned his head, looked at the members of the Suppression Division next to him and said, "Let's go, continue."
Zhang Tie was completely stunned. He even felt that he could lie down now.
If I can be with Mr. Zhou, I can really lie down without taking any action.
The current weirdness is not enough for Mr. Zhou to cut it off with a single blow.
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhou, I will lead the way!" Zhang Tie's tone was trembling.
He suddenly felt that Mr. Zhou was stronger at this moment than when he was in Yuejiang, and he was also ridiculously strong.
“How could there be such a genius in this world?” Zhang Tie thought in his heart as he led the way.
A long time ago, he heard that in this era, all kinds of talented people are blooming.
If it was really in the past, he felt that this was reasonable.
But not anymore.
He feels that these so-called **** geniuses and **** young talents are all nonsense in front of Mr. Zhou!
What is meant by a hundred flowers blooming? As long as they meet Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou will naturally let them know what it means by a hundred flowers withered.
With such a mood, everyone walked and soon reached the outside position.
At this time, Zhou An also saw the true appearance of the gathering of conspirators.
Surrounded by a circle of earthen walls, it looks very old.
In the middle of the earthen wall, there is an empty space that serves as a gate.
At first glance, it feels very simple, like a farmer's gathering.
Even if there was no such eerie atmosphere, one would think it was just an ordinary market.
But Zhou An could feel that this gathering of conspirators was filled with all kinds of spooky horrors.
When mixed together, it can be confusing.
Some people in the industry have been affected, and their demeanor has become depressed.
Zhou An had no idea of the spiritual attributes provided by Yue Baijuan.
Zhang Tie pointed forward and said: "Master Zhou, let's go in. After entering, Master Zhou must pay attention to some things."
Zhou Che raised his eyebrows and asked, "What matter?"
He is here to push quickly, but fast push does not mean he is a fool.
It is also extremely important to understand something first.
What's more, he himself has shortcomings in this area, and it would be extremely useful for him to know more about it.
Zhang Tie organized his speech and said: "Weiyi at the Guiyi gathering will not attack others casually. Instead, he will stand in front of his own stall. If he is interested in the things in the stall, he will stand next to the stall. Weiyi will pay attention to the trading rules. , if you violate the rules, you will be attacked strangely. Of course, if you are unwilling to abide by the trading rules, you can use force to break it.”
“Okay, I roughly understand.” Zhou An nodded.
The meaning is very simple. Since it is a gathering of conspirators, it is a transaction.
This is very similar to a TV series Zhou An watched before, which was also about transactions.
But for the trade of the Guild, you can also directly kill the weird trader.
Everyone walked directly towards the gathering of conspirators. As soon as he stepped in, Zhou An felt the cold breath going straight into his body.
But it had no effect on him.
Ahead are streets, which are very wide, but also very old.
The ground is just a dirt road, and if it rains, it will turn into mud.
Fortunately, it didn’t rain and we could walk on the dry dirt road, but it was just a little dusty.
There are stalls all over this dirt road.
In front of the stall, there were strange looking animals standing with numb faces.
These stalls are also very particular.
The simplest one is just to put a piece of rag on the ground, the better one is to set up a shelf.
He was standing there strangely. Although his expression was numb, he could tell something unusual from the simplicity of the stall.
Let’s say weird intensity.
As soon as they entered, the group of people in the trade had already dispersed.
Zhou An frowned when he saw this scene.
Zhang Tie immediately explained: "Opportunities all come from the guild gathering, but opportunities are secrets for everyone. If you get a good enough skill at a certain stall, but it is known by others, it is likely to attract people. A fatal disaster."
With this explanation, Zhou An understood.
Co-authoring is all about hiding one’s own opportunities.
This is normal. Even though the laws of the Great Chu State are very strict, they are only for the public. There is a lot of bloodshed in the world secretly, and there are naturally a lot of murders and treasure grabbing.
This thing has to be guarded against.
The laws promulgated by the emperor of Chu State were actually only aimed at protecting the people.
As long as people in the industry don't make trouble with the people and don't conflict with the people, then I won't bother to do whatever you want.
Of course, don’t be with some demonic heretics, otherwise this town will not be a vegetarian.
Zhou An actually knows something about this situation. Sometimes, a manager does not necessarily have to rely on his subordinates to manage people.
It is also a very clever method to make the people under management interact with each other.
"What about you? What role do you play here?" Zhou An asked.
More than a dozen members of the Zhenguisi did not leave or disperse, they just stood here, so Zhou An was also purely curious.
Zhang Tie smiled bitterly and said: "The main reason for coming here is to maintain order. As long as you don't provoke the weirdness in these stalls, it will generally be fine. Of course, if you haven't secured a stall before the end of this weird gathering, or say If you don’t visit the stalls, problems will arise.”
“The conditions given by the Guild are actually very simple. As long as you can gain something, you can find a place to stay until the end.”
“The gathering of conspirators will reduce the risk for people in the industry who want to make a small fortune.” Zhou And said.
Zhang Tie nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, and then he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhou, we are leaving first. If some places cannot be closed, we will also go to help."
This is their purpose, of course, this time there are some secret things added.
For example, to prevent sexual indulgences.
Zhou An didn't hold him back. After all, it was his official business, so he let them go first.
After Zhang Tie and the others left, he stood alone on the street, looking around.
At this time, there were also some stalls where everyone went to.
Zhou An didn't move, and he didn't immediately draw his sword and strike.
Now it seems that there is no way to push it quickly.
Just now Zhang Tie said that you can only leave the Guild when the time is up.
“In that case, let’s get some benefits.” Zhou An thought.
They are all coming.
It won’t work if you don’t do some good things.
Thinking about this, Zhou An came to a stall.
This stall is an ordinary stall, with a piece of cloth underneath and some broken weapons placed on it.
These weapons have been severely corroded, and some even have no blades.
No one in the industry cares about something like this.
The only thing people care about in this industry is the technique.
Zhou An touched his chin and was about to take a look. Just when he stood still, there was a strange movement like a piece of wood.
A cold breath came out, and then spread on Weiyi's body.
Weird stared at Zhou An like this, with bloodthirsty and violence.
“Change something, change something, one finger for one…”
The rotten flesh on the strange face trembled, making a sound like a night owl, which was creepy.
The long arms had black nails protruding from them, as if Zhou An would be separated on the spot the next moment.
Zhou An exclaimed: "So you want to use your fingers to exchange things on the stall. It seems that this is the rule here."
Of course Weird won’t answer. If it weren’t for some kind of rule, it would act based on instinct.
Zhou An found it boring. This scene was also terrifying to other people, but to him, it was nothing more than that.
“Cut it down.”
Zhou An flashed the cold crystal knife in his hand, and it mysteriously turned into even pieces.
Soon, the fragments in front of him turned into smoke.
At this moment, the broken weapons on the stall suddenly started shaking, and then returned to calm.
Zhou An stretched out his hand and took it into his hand, feeling it was heavy.
"I can't take it out, but in this gathering, it seems real." Zhou An hesitated.
This scene was naturally seen by a few people in the industry. Two people in the industry shuddered and immediately looked away.
This way of passing a gathering has actually been tried by some people before, and they didn't find it surprising.
But the next scene completely refreshed their outlook.
Zhou Anxing hurriedly came to another Weird and patted this Weird on the shoulder.
The next moment, before Wei Wei could tell him the rules of the stall, there was a flash of a knife, and Wei Wei was turned into ashes.
A copy of the exercises is in hand.
Zhou An silently flipped through it and wrote down the exercises.
They are all in the industry, and they still have the ability to memorize things.
The way to take away the skills is also to memorize them.
After memorizing it, Zhou An walked towards another stall.
Zhou An went back and forth like this, as if the stall was his own and was just temporarily rented to Weiyi.
Every time he went to a place, he directly patted Guiyi on the shoulder, and took Guiyi away just as he started.
When the few people in the industry saw this scene, their mouths opened wide, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Wild!
They looked at each other and left the street silently.
They were afraid, worried that Zhou An would attack them and they would be killed too, and then the gains would outweigh the losses.
Zhou An didn’t care. He thought this method was very direct and refreshing.
From the worst stalls, it is gradually stacked. This cleaning method is simple and efficient.
In this way, Zhou An continued to clean up, and the street became bare.
He also gained a lot.
There are still many techniques that he has carried on his back, and he will look at them later when he has free time.
As for what to carry on my back, it was the cloths I picked up from the stalls.
He doesn’t care whether the technique is good or bad, he just holds it easily.
Memorize it when you have time, and then write it down after you go out.
If necessary, you can also be a favor. After all, this is another manifestation of financial resources.
After this street was cleared, Zhou An touched his chin and walked towards the other one.
Since he is here today, he doesn’t mind if he can make a fortune along the way.
After coming to another street, there are still many people in the industry here.
Zhou An came to a strange place as usual and started the previous steps.
…
While Zhou An was advancing crazily, at this moment, at the other end of the gathering, a man in ordinary clothes was wandering around on the street.
The cold atmosphere around him still existed, but this man seemed to be unaware of it.
The man's appearance is very ordinary, the kind that would not be noticed if thrown into a crowd.
Short in stature and very thin, looking malnourished.
But his actions were very strange. He did not go to those weird stalls, but randomly found a person in the industry.
The people in this industry were thinking about which stall to find when they suddenly noticed the short man arriving.
His face was full of doubts, he didn't know what was going on, but he was very alert.
After all, no one here wants to expose their chances.
“Who are you, and why do you want to see me?” asked someone in the industry.
The middle-aged short man smiled slightly, and then said: "I am just a passerby, let's see what opportunities you have."
The people in the industry were slightly stunned. When they heard the word opportunity, they immediately took a step back vigilantly: "According to the rules of the Guild, I don't need to reveal it to you. If you want to seek my opportunity, then I'm not easy to mess with." of."
He looked fierce, trying to scare the little man away.
The short man shook his head, with a look of disdain on his face: "You people, you usually think that you are just, but once your own interests are involved, you become petty. Why bother?"
This year's string of words is confusing, and people in the industry are confused.
But then, the short man narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of coldness, and his tone became a little fanatical: "We are in the industry, we should do whatever we want and follow our own hearts. We are noble in this world. No need to suppress, just show yourself as you want.”
·The people in the row became even more confused: “What on earth do you mean?”
"What do you mean? Well... they all call me the Psychic Speaker. As for the name, I don't want to use it. It's just a code name and I don't think it sounds good." The Psychic Speaker smiled.
People in the profession reacted: "Psychic speaker? Isn't that a branch of lecturer? I heard it is extremely rare. You name yourself after this profession?"
The psychic speaker said strangely: "Why not? Just like now, you will be bewitched by me soon."
When the people in the row heard this, their expressions changed drastically. He subconsciously turned around and wanted to escape.
But before he could take two steps, he heard a voice in his ear.
“Stop!”
With just two words, people in this industry stopped immediately and found that their bodies could no longer move.
The psychic speaker continued: "From now on, everything you have is mine, and you must listen to me."
As he said these words, the eyes of the people in the industry gradually became confused. Although there was still a hint of struggle, it was not obvious.
Slowly, this trace of struggle disappeared completely, and the expression of this person in the industry became extremely respectful, and he lowered his head towards the psychic speaker.
“I’ve met the master.”
The psychic speaker nodded happily. Although he was short, he stood on his toes and patted the shoulders of the people in the row.
“Next, you just follow your original rules and take whatever you want, do you understand?”
The people in the row nodded numbly, turned and left.
The psychic speaker watched this person in the industry walk away, with a deeper smile on his face.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something and slapped his head.
“I almost forgot, I have a new goal this time, and I don’t know where Zhou An is.”
The tone of the psychic speaker became very excited, with an indescribable perverted feeling: "If I can control him, and let him serve me tea and water in the future, that would be the happiest thing."
"It's a pity that I didn't meet him in the randomly assigned position, otherwise I would definitely give it a try."
The psychic speaker walked towards another person in the industry with such a perverted smile.
…
Of course Zhou An didn't know what was going on, because he was standing in front of a stall, looking at the strange thing in front of him, with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
He never expected that he would meet an old acquaintance here.
At the stall in front of him, County Magistrate Chen, who had been beheaded by him, was standing with a numb face.
In front of County Magistrate Chen, there was a book with three words written on the cover.
—Water burial method.
I heard Yan Sifu say before that this place was created by people in the industry.
He really didn’t expect to meet this old acquaintance.
The book in front of him became more familiar to him.
Water burial method, one of the Five Elements burial methods, is good at simulation.
Zhou An has experienced both water burial and cremation. Now he looked at the things on the stall and touched his chin.
He thought it was good to put this thing away, and maybe it could be used to great effect at some point.
Thinking of this, he came to the stall regardless of whether he was familiar with it or not.
Due to the reason of coming to the stall, a strange rule was triggered.
At this moment, Magistrate Chen’s expression became vivid.
There is an aura of a scholar lingering around County Magistrate Chen, but there is more of a cold atmosphere.
"Deal...deal..." County Magistrate Chen's tone was cold, and he no longer recognized Zhou An.
As he finished speaking, three heads appeared behind him.
These three heads are all female, and Zhou An is also familiar with them. They are the three wives of County Magistrate Chen.
“Give me fame…Give me fame…”
Magistrate Chen spoke emotionlessly, and the nails on his hands gradually grew longer. On the top of his forehead, there was a book that exuded a cold atmosphere.
Zhou An's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to take action to take away the three heads of County Magistrate Chen.
But at this moment, he felt an unusual aura.
At this time, his eyes turned golden.
After deleting, deleting, and revising, there were many things that I wanted to write but didn’t dare to write. I wrote this chapter until two o’clock in the evening. After thinking about it, I still couldn’t write some things.
(End of this chapter)
