Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life

Chapter 106: Reunion, getting into trouble!

The nine-day closed exam passed quickly and Chen Baoan set out on the journey back to the tavern.

After the examination, he felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders had become lighter.

A tavern not far away,

"Hey! Chen Baoan!"

"Zhao Hong!"

Chen Baoan no longer addressed Zhao Hong by a respectful title.

After two years of getting along, the relationship between the two has grown deeper and deeper, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are grandfather and grandson.

They have experienced many things together, and the small basement contains the bits and pieces of life and the joys and sorrows. This close relationship allows them to rely on each other and take care of each other.

There was another nine days of separation. The short one hundred and eight hours seemed as long as one hundred and eight years.

After a quick run, the old man and the young boy hugged each other tightly.

"How does it feel? Is it a lot harder?"

"No, it's very simple!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"

"Hey, sir, what do you want to do by teaching your students to drink?!"

Hahaha……

Hearing Chen Baoan's words, Zhao Hong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was a smile from the heart. How long had it been since he last smiled like that?

several years?

Or decades?

He may not have been as happy in the past few decades as he has been in the past two years.

In the tavern, Zhao Hong dismissed all the guests and hung a sign on the door that meant "Closed". The two of them sat at a small table and talked about what had happened in the past nine days.

"Today, have a few drinks, ah, a few drinks?"

"Ahem, it's not bad!"

After Chen Baoan finished speaking, he snatched the jar from Zhao Hong's hand and took a sip.

“Ah~ It feels so good!”

"Apart from each other~"

Chen Baoan let out a breath.

"Look at you, you don't look like a scholar at all. You're addicted to alcohol at such a young age?"

As Zhao Hong was about to take back the wine jar, Chen Baoan dodged him at an extremely fast speed.

"Hey, that's a good speed!"

As he spoke, Zhao Hong also became excited. He kicked the table over and punched him.

"Beng Jin!"

"Tai Chi Yin Hand!"

Chen Baoan held the wine jar in one hand and used the other hand to transform the power in Zhao Hong's fist into nothingness and slowly disperse it.

"Come again!"

In an instant, countless fists intertwined, attacking Chen Baoan like a storm. Each punch contained a powerful force that ordinary people would be afraid to avoid!

"Apart from each other~"

Cool!

Chen Baoan's eyes focused, and his hands seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious and powerful force. The force was like a black stream, slowly climbing up his entire arm.

Tai Chi Yin Hand!

"Tangle!"

'stick!'

'smoke! ’

A magical skill of defeating the strong with the weak!

No matter how strong your power is, no matter how vigorous your energy and blood are, just disperse it!

'Shuh! '

Countless fists were knocked away, and Chen Baoan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhao Hong.

"Hey, kid! This old man..."

"Wait, wait, I admit defeat. In a battle of strength, I am naturally inferior to you, sir."

Chen Baoan spread his hands.

Although everything seemed normal, a closer look revealed that his hands could not stop shaking, and that slight tremor was something he could not resist with his willpower.

It can relieve the force, but it cannot relieve it completely.

"Hahaha, kid, I really don't know whether you have been taking exams or practicing martial arts during these nine days."

The other party admitted his mistake, and Zhao Hong was not a person who was stingy with praise.

"No, no, compared to your Qi and blood, it is still slightly insufficient."

Chen Baoan said in a low-key manner.

"Forget it, you are still being so modest. With your talent, you can definitely become a Class A disciple in Wudang. You may be as good as Senior Shen Suanzi."

"Hey, don't flatter me. Senior Shen Suanzi is an existence who can use Tai Chi to fight against the power of heaven and earth. How can I compare with him?"

"Besides, scholars should not use foul language, sir."

Chen Baoan joked.

"Go away, I am a warrior, and I cannot stand the mundane etiquette of a scholar."

Zhao Hong took the jar from Chen Baoan and started drinking it.

Chen Baoan smiled slightly when he saw this.

In fact, his talent in martial arts was not weak. With his past life as an example, his comprehension could almost be called incredible. It's just that he had never revealed it in front of Zhao Hong.

That’s right, who would want to find time to discuss things with their students every day?

It was recorded in the notes of the first head of Wudang that the divine fortune teller was the incarnation of the way of heaven. He was proficient in Tai Chi and was extremely skilled in it. He was blessed by the cause and effect of the world and could pacify the heaven and earth and control the universe.

This made Chen Baoan think that this was an exaggerated description. At the beginning, he really had no interest in Tai Chi.

I practiced it just to strengthen my body, but after getting in touch with it, I discovered its magical properties.

But although it was magical, in his eyes it could not compete with the power of heaven and earth.

The power of heaven and earth, what is the power of heaven and earth?

This is an attack that gathers the strongest power between heaven and earth. It is intangible, traceless, and powerful enough to pierce through the stars with one strike.

Of course, this is just what he got from the book, and its authenticity... cannot be verified.

He had no intention of investigating. Who would want to take a hit from the Demon King that combined the power of heaven and earth?

Neuropathy?

"Okay, sir, drink less. It's not good for your health."

Chen Baoan waved his hand.

He didn't know when he fell in love with drinking. It was sweet at first, slightly bitter at the end, with a hint of spiciness and millet aroma, which made him obsessed.

"You kid, are you cursing me? I only have so many years to live, what's wrong with drinking a little?!"

Zhao Hong had already shown off a whole jar of wine, and half of the second jar.

"Okay, okay, you have a lot of energy, so do as you please."

Chen Baoan knew that he was basically drunk, so he did not debate with him.

Actually, he is right. He is half buried in the ground. What's wrong with being happy and drinking his favorite wine?

"By the way sir, I saved someone on my way to take the exam."

Chen Baoan planned to use one thing to awaken his mind.

"Hmm~ Who did you save? Your little lady~"

It seemed that the other party was unconscious, so he gave up the plan to wake him up.

"It's okay, it's okay, just drink slowly."

Chen Baoan waved his hand and put the empty jar aside.

I walked slowly to the window and closed all the windows. It was broad daylight outside, but unfortunately someone had already fallen asleep.

He had no intention of pulling Zhao Hong into the room, so he decided to let him sleep there. He wasn't planning on opening the store today anyway.

The time of companionship is always short. I don’t know whether I’ve passed or not, so I still have to prepare for the palace examination first.

It’s always a good idea to prepare early.

Just as he turned around and was about to go into the basement to continue improving his knowledge, there was a sudden knock on the closed door.

"who is it?"

“We are closed today.”

As he walked forward and was about to chase the guest away, the knocking on the door became more intense.

"Ok?"

Chen Baoan sensed something was wrong very keenly.

‘Click! ’

The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open with ease, and a person dressed in white, with a bookish look but exuding a certain fragrance, rushed in.

"you are?"

Chen Baoan stepped forward to ask, but his mouth was covered by a hand.

The light floral fragrance was refreshing and permeated around Chen Baoan. It was like a gentle hug that surrounded him tightly and made him feel a deep tranquility and peace of mind.

But this situation did not last long. Chen Baoan pinched his thigh and immediately reacted by pressing the person in front of him under him.

"Breaking into my humble abode by force is either robbery or theft!"

Chen Baoan said with a frown.

Then, through the gate, I saw several dark shadows running towards this side.

There were a lot of people, and from the sound of their footsteps one could tell that they were all strong men.

It seems... that the person who comes has bad intentions.

Their target is probably the person they are holding down.

"Tsk!"

He looked disdainful, quickly closed the door, and pulled out an axe from the side.

What? Why is there an axe, you ask.

Sorry, you need wood every time you cook, and this axe is used to chop trees. It should be reasonable to carry it with you.

Chen Baoan: (‵▽′)ψ

"Boss, do you want to break in? That bitch is hiding here."

"Wait! You can't enter this tavern!"

Just when one of the younger brothers was about to force his way in, the leader nearby spoke up and stopped him.

The man with the thick beard and tattered clothes, isn't he the bandit leader that Chen Baoan had taught a lesson before?

"But……"

"No buts, just listen to me, this old Zhao is not simple!"

The bandit leader roared, and his voice caught Chen Baoan's attention.

He released the restrained intruders and immediately put his ear to the door, listening carefully to their conversation.

"Isn't he just a liquor seller? Is he that awesome, boss?"

"You know nothing! Let me ask you, do you know Wudang?"

"I know, it's the organization that has almost total control over both the human and demon worlds? What does this have to do with Zhao Hong?"

The bandit leader had a dark face and slapped the younger brother on the head, making him dizzy.

"I've already mentioned Wudang, don't you know that the drunkard you're talking about is from Wudang?!"

The bandit leader's words made the younger brothers around him break out in cold sweats.

I originally came here to help my boss get revenge.

He was ambushed outside and fainted. When he woke up, all his money was lost. He couldn't swallow this humiliation!

But now... maybe he should swallow it...

"Everyone, let's go!"

After careful consideration, the bandit leader made a decision immediately.

Face is important, but it is not as important as your life.

If they offend Wudang, their names may be on the wanted list next month and be beheaded by the killer who has recently become famous.

He was a ruthless man who even looked down upon the people of the Taoist Alliance. How could they, as street thugs, afford to offend him?

"But Boss, that person..."

"Get lost! Go die yourself, you bastard thinking with your lower body!"

That little brother was still ruthless, and when he thought of her snow-white skin that day, he couldn't help but...

'Snapped! '

Another slap on his face sobered him up a lot.

After thinking it over, I decided to take a long-term approach.

Wudang, he had no chance to offend her, but he just had to wait for her to come out of there...

Hehehe, he just didn’t believe that she could hide forever!

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, several people left the tavern, and Chen Baoan, who had been eavesdropping, breathed a sigh of relief.
