C7 Burly Man

"Come and try it!" Fresh fry! One for five! "

"Shen family's weapon store, eighteen great martial arts! There's definitely something you want! "

The streets of Luo County were filled with the cries of vendors, as well as the clamor and bustle of the people coming and going. There was not a single drop of water that could be seen through the entire street. Wang Lih, who was carrying a stone stave on his back, walked through the streets with difficulty. He didn't even glance at the surrounding stalls or the items for sale.

Wang Lih had already gotten used to plain food after cleaning for so many years. He could completely resist the temptation of eating.

As for weapons, the abbot had once said that any weapon sold on the streets would not be a good weapon. Thus, Wang Lih would not even look at weapons.

The long staff that he had received from Daoist Master Fu could tell that it was definitely much more metallic than those common copper coins.

However, the main reason was that he was penniless.

"I need to think about how to get some pointers." Wang Lih sighed, "Otherwise, it would be hard to even take a single step into the city."

Wang Lih arrived at a place where many people gathered as he strolled around in the crowd.

On the side of the wall, there was a large notice, which was guarded by two black robed light armored officials. Before the announcement, there was a crowd of people. Wang Lih saw this and went up to take a closer look: It was a bounty. On it was painted the fierce face of a rough man and next to it were the words:

"Bounty wanted:

Ox-Head Mountain bandit leader Hsiang Chuming. Years of killing and arson, adultery and plundering, committing evil! We are recruiting warriors to bring Hsiang Chuming to justice and reward him 500 taels of silver! Deadline: Due by August 24 – Luo County Department

Five hundred silver? How much is that?

Wang Lih, who had never been down the mountain before, was completely clueless about money.

"Is this Hsiang Chuming still wanted? How many years has it been?! "

"Isn't that so? I don't think anyone will be able to catch him in a few years. " The noise from the crowd was very loud.

Wang Lih stood in the crowd and pondered. This Hsiang Chuming had indeed committed evil for many years, and he had suffered the wrath of so many people. However, according to the words of the crowd, no one had been able to catch him after so many years. It seemed that he also had some ability.

While Wang Lih was contemplating whether he should unveil the board to challenge Hsiang Chuming, a burly man walked out from the crowd. He came straight to the notice, "Hiss!" and tore it off.

"Since this warrior has already announced it, have you already caught Hsiang Chuming?" An official who was standing on the side asked.

"Rest assured, the two of you!" Tomorrow, I will bring him to see you! " The brawny man answered, "Is there any good wine, dishes, or anything else that can reward this brawny man first?" His words and actions were all very casual, not like those from famous sects or clans.

Wang Lih looked the hulk up and down. His hair was messy and his beard was unshaven, so he didn't pay much attention to his appearance. However, the seven foot long iron rod strapped to his back gave rise to speculation in his heart. It seemed like he was just a powerful maniac who was marching in the martial arts world, but in reality, he didn't seem that simple.

"By the twenty-fourth of August, you will be escorted to my Luo County Palace to receive the bounty." "Yes, sir," the officer replied gravely, and they turned and walked away.

"How boring." The sturdy man muttered, then turned and shouted again: "Scattered! Everyone disperse! This announcement has already been made! "

Soon after, the crowd that was watching the bounty was dispersed as well. The brawny man looked around for a while before leaving.

Wang Lih pretended to leave while he hid not too far away. After the brawny guy left, he followed him into the crowd and followed the brawny guy closely. After all, he didn't know how strong Hsiang Chuming, who had been at large for many years, was. Otherwise, Wang Lih, who was in dire need of money, would have already unveiled the notice beforehand. However, after thinking about it carefully, he knew that the reward of five hundred taels of silver might be a huge sum.

Following closely behind, they saw a tall and sturdy man with a long stick on his back walk along the street and enter a small building at the memorial archway 'Yu Chun Restaurant'.

"Mushroom restaurant? "It seems like this guy is a drunkard." Wang Lih thought to himself as they entered the mash restaurant with the open door.

It was taboo for families to have sex and drink. Wang Lih could not bear the atmosphere as soon as he came in.

"Fifth chief!" Six six! Haha, you've lost! "

"Who said I can't drink this cup? Bring over the altar! "

The interior of the restaurant was extremely noisy and chaotic. Some were betting on wine orders, some were talking, while the entire restaurant was filled with people. Wang Lih sneered and was obviously dismissive of it. After entering, he had been searching for the burly man's figure and quickly found him in front of the counter.

"Manager, two catties of female red, one catty of cooked beef!" The big man laughed.

"Alright!" "Great sir, this is for you. Great sir, how about you go over to the empty seat and wait there?" The shopkeeper pointed to an empty table in the corner and then ordered the kitchen waiter to leave.

The burly man turned around and walked towards the empty table. Wang Lih also followed him.

The big guy sat on the table, while Wang Lih followed behind a pillar.

"Young monk, I've seen you following me from the city walls all the way here. What, what can I do for you? Do you want to exchange a few blows with me, or do you want to have a few rounds with me? " The tall and sturdy man laughed.

This time, since his whereabouts were discovered, Wang Lih had no choice but to show himself.

"Sorry, big... Brother, I've been following you. Me originally wanted to take down the notice, but his brother took the lead. I don't know … Can Big Bro give me the Bounty Token? "Me is really short on money."

"Hahaha, who in the martial arts world isn't short of money?" The big man laughed heartily, "But the rules still have to be observed. After all, I was the one who took it first."

"This …" Wang Lih was speechless.

At this moment, the waiter ordered two jars of wine and a plate of beef, and the big man took out some silver from his waist and gave it to the waiter. Then, the big man picked up the two big bowls on the table and poured the two jars of red wine into the bowls. Then he picked up a bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He then sighed: "Ah! — what a true wine!"

"How about this, little monk! Seeing you young, I wanted to let you go. "But I can't let you do it for nothing. You accompany me to do these female beauties, and I'll just give you this business, what do you think?" The big man laughed.

Wang Lih was surprised, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry, Master Fang has an order, disciples are not allowed to touch wine and meat …"

"Tch, how boring." After saying that, the muscular man poured wine for himself and began to drink.

"This stone stick looks to be around 80 to 90 pounds, right?" the big man asked.

"It weighs a hundred Jin." Wang Lih had estimated this result himself. Previously, he had mentioned quite a few heavy objects in the Shaolin Temple, so the estimated result must be about 80% or 90%.

"If you are interested, I can let you see." With that, Wang Lih took off the stone stick on his back.

"No need! No need! Your big brother here is much better than yours. " The brawny man laughed, drank another bowl and then said, "Carrying such a heavy stick on your back, I wonder how good your martial arts are? However, you're still shy and want this bounty so badly. I won't bully my child. If you, little monk, are willing to fight with me, your big brother, I will feel comfortable fighting you. "How about it?"

"If you insist on competing, little brother will naturally accompany you!" Wang Lih cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Awesome!" "Hahaha!" The brawny man laughed, "Then after I finish eating, we'll find a good place to have a good fight! "Hahaha!"

Wang Lih sat and waited. Moments later, the muscular man was full.

The two left the restaurant in the spring, looking for a secluded, empty corner of the city wall. At this time, the sun had already set in the west and the sky was already nearing dark. The faint light from the city wall illuminated the wild and unruly expression on the big man's face.

Wang Lih put away his belongings and took off his stone club, putting on a battle stance.

"Haha, how old is little monk this year? How long has he been cultivating? " The big man asked.

"Me is 13 years old this year. I grew up in the Yanluan Mountain and grew up with the ability to learn Shaolin Temple. " Wang Lih said respectfully, "Me often spars with his fellow brothers in the temple, so there are still few losses. So, big brother, don't look down on little brother. " Saying that, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

"It is already rare for a young monk to be able to lift such a heavy stick at the age of thirteen!" The big guy laughed heartily, "Go all out! If you can meet me, your big brother, then it's your win this time! " The nearly eight foot long metal rod stood to the side, gradually producing a hint of cold air.

"Then... "Big brother, I'll be going first." Wang Lih smiled and rushed forward with his stick.

With a flick of his body, the power of the [Vajra Scripture] burst out from his body. Circulating his Qi and blood, Wang Lih's skin slightly flushed red as he felt a lot of energy flowing through his body. If one relied on the body of a robust youth to use a stone rod that was originally a hundred jin in weight, they would be able to strike down with the strength of a giant boulder. However, since Wang Lih's body was small, he only had the strength of a normal stone club.

But after activating the complete strength of the Second Layer Stage, Wang Lih could wield this fifty kilogram stone rod.

"Hah!" In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of ten Zhang.

The big man only moved when the man was almost in front of him. His speed was extremely fast, he could easily wield the eight-foot long stick and block Wang Lih's first attack in an instant. Wang Lih instantly stepped into an illusion and changed the trajectory of his attack. The second strike came straight down from above and it seemed like it could directly hit the big man's body —

"Clang!" The big man only used his staff to block it! His speed was extremely fast and his movements were nimble. It was as if his body and rod had become one. Wang Lih was not distracted in the slightest as he continued to move around to find an opening to attack.

Sometimes, it would be the pole that would be swung at the head.

Sometimes, it was just a side swipe that seemed to be both sinister and dangerous at the same time--

However, no matter which direction he attacked, the large man in front of him could easily block all of them with his nimble spinning staff! The two continued to clash at a speed as fast as a tornado, as fast as a mirage. Rapid sounds of colliding steel rang out, and the battle in front of them was extremely intense. The burly man blocked every attack, not even changing his footwork.

His eyes were also tightly shut! It was as if every time he tried to block, he could sense it through his aura.

Wang Lih became anxious. Every part of the big man's body seemed airtight, not being able to hit the big man's body at all. Even around his back, the big man could only close his eyes and use his staff to block all of the attacks. It made Wang Lih almost impossible to take advantage of —

"This person is too strong …"

"Where exactly is the flaw?"

Wang Lih stopped to catch his breath. While he was resting and thinking, the big guy stood still on the spot with the stick in his hand.

After a short moment, Wang Lih raised the stone club and instantly stabbed it towards the big man's back. The big man only swung the stick and blocked Wang Lih's attack. "Clang!" After a sound, Wang Lih's attacks followed the sound like a thunderstorm. This time, Wang Lih used his spear skills to the best of his ability, causing a force to shake his back — —

Before the big guy could react, Wang Lih had already aimed at the back of Wang Lih's waist and stabbed forward! With a light sound of "Dong!", the big fellow was struck!
