Volume 1: Wulin Chapter 14 Testing
Lu Bai walked in the mountains for a while, and then he realized one thing very realistically: he was lost.
The mountains and forests were already difficult to walk in in ancient times, and with the snow, some of the forest trails were covered.
As he walked, Lu Bai lost his way.
It was all white, and Lu Bai could only feel the coldness constantly eroding him.
"If we walk for a while longer and can't find a way out, we'll have to find a temporary shelter to keep warm."
Lu Bai looked at the surroundings and walked to the side based on his feeling.
It was almost dusk when Lu Bai saw a wisp of smoke rising in the distance.
"It looks like it's on a large scale." Lu Bai climbed up a tree and looked at the direction of the smoke from the cooking fire from afar.
Wooden piles mixed with stones were used to build a wall, and a flag was waving in the air.
However, due to the wind and snow, Lu Bai couldn't see clearly what was written on it.
However, there are only a few buildings of this type built deep in the mountains and forests.
Either they are from a martial arts sect, or they are bandits, or both.
And judging from this style, the possibility of them being bandits is higher.
"Maybe I can be a hero who fights evil and eliminates evil?"
Lu Bai tightened his clothes and moved closer to that place little by little.
After a while, we arrived near this "village".
The environment of the entire village was very messy and poor, with all kinds of things thrown around. Lu Bai even saw suspicious bones in some places.
Only at this time did Lu Bai see the flag clearly.
This is a brand new flag with a few big words written on it: Black Tiger Gate.
"Are you sure it's not the Black Tiger Camp?" Lu Bai was also a little confused, and then he saw a tattered flag of the Black Tiger Camp in the pile of garbage.
"This is a change of family."
Sometimes, there is no difference between a copycat and a sect, but sometimes, the difference is quite big.
The Shanzhai is the "evil" that is punished and the good is promoted, while the sect is the "good" that is able to carry out this behavior.
Even though most of the time, they do similar things.
Warriors do not engage in production and generally rely on land rent, local taxes and robbing the rich to help the poor to make a living. Some who are good at financial management will also support various businesses.
For example, casinos, restaurants, brothels, even illegal salt, weapons and maritime trade.
A complete evil force.
Shanzhai is the kind that has no technical content and is at the bottom of the contempt chain in the martial arts circle.
When you are of use to me, I will call you a hero of the green forest.
When you don’t need it, that’s the time for you to become a hero and improve your performance.
Every industry has its own rules. It is very abnormal for a copycat to change its flag.
According to Lu Bai's rules in the "jianghu" on Earth, any martial arts school that sets up a signboard must be compared with the surrounding martial arts schools.
This kind of weighing is comprehensive, from your past to your skills, everything will be brought up and talked about.
If there are enemies in the past, they will take this opportunity to seek justice.
If you do something that angers God and people, there will always be people to enforce justice on your behalf.
In short, it is generally difficult to erect a memorial archway.
But once the sign is successfully put up, those who do the weighing will play a role of endorsement.
Although this "Wulin" dimension has internal strength, its core is actually similar to that of Earth.
When one circle enters another, it is inevitably accompanied by weighing. Being able to successfully change the flag already means something.
"Of course, it is also possible that this group of bandits did not follow the rules and changed the flag without permission."
Lu Bai was thinking about this and then he climbed up the wall.
There was no one on guard, or rather, the people who were supposed to be on guard were hiding in the house by the fire.
It's a village deep in the mountains and forests, and it's still snowing. No normal person would think it's necessary to keep watch.
Besides, a martial arts force transformed from mountain bandits does not have that kind of quality.
Even many martial arts sects are like this. Standing guard at night is a complete waste of emotion.
Therefore, when Lu Bai climbed up the wall, no one even noticed him.
Facing the wind and snow, we came to a small house beside the wall. Several people were roasting a fire and eating pancakes and unknown stew inside.
It wasn't like the people eating and drinking as I had imagined. It was obvious that even bandits were poor these days.
After observing carefully for a while, Lu Bai opened the door and walked in.
A person facing this side was hit by something before he could react.
The person who was hit by the stone had his face covered with blood and splattered, and the other person's words were also choked.
Then, he pounced like a hungry tiger, grabbed a man's neck, swung it like a large pendulum, and smashed it towards another man on the side.
When they let go of each other's hands, only Lu Bai and another person were still breathing in the room.
At this moment, the man was trembling all over and covering his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
"Smart!" Lu Bai patted the other person's shoulder and pulled over a stool for him to sit on.
He picked up the pancake and began to eat it, saying as he ate it, "Tell me what's going on in the village."
"Master... Hero, we are now at the Black Tiger Gate." The man said tremblingly.
“Is there any difference?”
“No difference.”
After learning how many people there were in this village and how many of them knew martial arts, Lu Bai nodded.
The Black Tiger Gate was transformed from the Black Tiger Village, and it also benefited from the conflict between the Hundred Flowers Tomb and the Tianwu Holy Land.
It was originally just a copycat, but after getting in touch with Baihuazhong and waving the flag and shouting a few times, it was put on the white list.
He became a chivalrous warrior and a hero of the green forest who fought against the foreign demons.
Then the original name of the Black Tiger Village became the Black Tiger Gate.
"Very good." Lu Bai finished his food, made sure there was nothing strange in the soup, drank a bowl of soup, and stood up.
“Mercy…”
Before he could utter the word "life", Lu Bai had already grabbed his neck.
With a click, the whole person's body fell limply.
Lu Bai waited for a while, and four more identical modules appeared in his hand.
The energy module [Qi and Blood] is different from the element module [Qi and Blood].
The elemental module ultimately points to one's own Qi and blood, while the [Qi and Blood] of the energy module actually contains Qi and blood.
"That is to say, the Blood Burning Technique has more fuel to a certain extent."
Lu Bai tossed the module in his hand. No wonder the dimensional traveler was called a devil.
These bandits are at most street thugs who dare to fight and kill and have seen blood.
However, such people can condense valuable modules. Those with lower bottom lines can probably make a lot of money by finding a place to kill people.
Putting the [Qi and Blood] module into the skill bar, Lu Bai walked towards the interior of the village.
There are about fifty or sixty people in the entire village, with more than twenty combat units, three of whom are good at martial arts.
Then let's use this group of people to test the power of the skills.
