Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 419: Second Rebirth
The next day, Lin Qianxing changed into the clean clothes he got from Lou Ji and arrived at Han Shouliang's residence on time to study writing.
Currently, he is the only one learning to read here, and not all gang members need to learn to read.
Generally, only gang members who need to take over some key tasks or need to be trained will come here to learn writing .
And often just the basics are taught.
The rest is up to you to go back and study in books.
Thanks to the doubling attribute of having died once, Lin Qianxing had a good memory and he quickly learned the basics taught by Han Shouliang.
After only three days, Lin Qianxing was able to understand basic books.
Han Shouliang was not stingy either. Seeing that Lin Qianxing was interested in the books on his bookshelf, he allowed him to look through them, but asked him not to damage them.
Lin Qianxing thanked him and then started reading the books.
The books collected by Han Shouliang are mostly travel notes and stories about local customs and culture.
There are also a few that record the principles of life and poems and songs.
This shows that there is still room for text-based entertainment development in this world.
Lin Qianxing's attention was mainly focused on travel notes and local customs and practices.
These things were written in a very mysterious way, and many of the story descriptions in them made Lin Qianxing feel a little unbelievable.
For example, in a place called Dashi City, people there have the habit of cannibalism. By eating the flesh of the predecessor, they can obtain some of the predecessor's abilities.
After eating the hand, the strength of one's arm will increase, and it will become more dexterous, and one may even be able to master some of the skills that it previously mastered.
If you eat the legs, you can run faster; if you eat the brains, you can become smarter.
This extremely uncivilized practice gave rise to a large number of powerful human beings.
They inherited the knowledge, skills and strength of their ancestors and opened up a considerable territory in the Devouring Mist. The entire city of Dashi was extremely prosperous, with at least a million people.
There is also a kind of big fish that is said to appear around the Qingming Festival.
It is said that it is huge, comparable to a mountain range. It roams in the void, making a thunderous buzzing sound. When passing by, it will spit out a column of water that reaches the sky, turning into rain to nourish all things.
The so-called Qingming Festival in this world is not a festival to worship ancestors.
It only refers to the five days from April 1st to April 5th in a year when the Devouring Mist and the strange beasts in it will disappear.
At this time of year, humans would leave the city and go out to explore.
Because only at this time, the world outside the city is safe.
It cannot be said that there is no danger at all. Every year there are always some people who die outside the city during the Qingming Festival.
One thing to mention here is that the reason why there is no fog in the city seems to be because of its popularity.
If a normal person or creature walks in the devouring fog, the devouring fog will not attack you directly, but will isolate a section of the space.
If there are many people together, the Devouring Mist will be able to isolate them further away.
Therefore, when the population in the city reaches a certain level, they can form a space that shields the devouring fog and build a human city.
This is also the reason why human cities in this world were formed.
It is said that people with more vigorous qi and blood will be more popular, so only those powerful warriors dare to walk alone in the devouring fog.
Lin Qianxing spent the whole day flipping through books and read almost one-third of the books on Han Shouliang's bookshelf, then said goodbye and left.
In the night, Lin Qianxing looked up at the sky.
It was a blood-red moon, as if dyed red with blood, giving people a weird feeling.
Watching it for too long might even make you feel dizzy.
It's a bit strange.
Although the devouring fog has covered the entire world, the huge sun and blood moon above are still clear and bright, always casting their light to every corner of the earth.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Qianxing returned to his own shabby house.
As soon as he walked near the door, Lin Qianxing discovered that the insurance he had left around had been moved.
Apparently , someone had entered his home.
Lin Qianxing glanced around inconspicuously and it was obvious that someone was ambushing in the dark.
It couldn't be anyone else except the Snake Shadow Gang.
Lin Qianxing had anticipated this day a long time ago, so he wasn't too worried.
He still pretended to be ignorant, opened the door with the key, and walked in.
whoosh!
The sound of a wooden stick cutting through the air was heard. Lin Qianxing slightly turned sideways, narrowly avoiding the attack, then raised his hand and hit the opponent under the armpit.
Bang!
Lin Qianxing had died once before, so his overall attributes were definitely stronger than that of an adult man. Coupled with his familiar and advanced fighting skills, this punch directly knocked the man two meters away.
On the other side, someone was attacking Lin Qianxing with a weapon.
Lin Qianxing raised his foot and kicked, directly disrupting the opponent's balance. While dodging the weapon, he raised his knee and hit the opponent's head.
Bang!
In just a short breath, the two people who were ambushing in the house were knocked down by Lin Qianxing.
They cried out in agony, and footsteps were heard outside the door, and the figures of more than a dozen people appeared.
In an instant, Lin Qianxing was blocked at the door.
Bang bang bang~!
The candlelight in the room lit up, and a man in black clapped his hands and said, "You are so cruel and skillful. No wonder He Shan died in your hands."
Lin Qianxing looked up and instantly knew the other party's identity.
It was Cheng Wu, the deputy leader of the Snake Shadow Gang.
The He Shan mentioned by Cheng Wu was a small gangster and a gang member in his previous life's memory.
He was also a thief and used his status to exploit the lonely and widowed people around him.
When my predecessor was young, he was often bullied by him. When he was about eleven years old, my predecessor set up a trap and killed He Shan.
That was his first murder.
The gang members also investigated the matter afterwards, but after all, He Shan was just a small figure, so no one took it too seriously.
As for why Cheng Wu knew about this?
After all, my predecessor was still young at the time, so he couldn't do things perfectly, so it was normal that some flaws were revealed.
"Why did Deputy Gang Leader Cheng find me?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Boy, are you pretending to be stupid?" Cheng Wu sneered, "You touched my things, so just hand them over honestly. Don't try to be clever here. Don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because you are Mr. Han's student."
When Lin Qianxing heard the voice, he instantly knew why there was such a big commotion tonight.
It turned out that the other party was concerned about Han Shouliang.
He said that to deal with a half-grown kid like him, just two people would be enough, so there was no need for Cheng Wu to show up in person.
It turned out that it was because of his unintentional action that Cheng Wu had some concerns.
That's why he chose to go and take back the treasure in person.
"What is that?" Lin Qianxing pretended not to know.
Those things were obtained by the other party by plundering the people's money, and he deserved them.
What's more, my predecessor even lost his life for this.
He was not willing to give up so easily.
"Haha, you're quite courageous. I had planned that I would leave as long as you took out the things. I didn't really want to embarrass you, but since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me." Cheng Wu stood up and walked towards Lin Qianxing.
Cheng Wu's body was much taller than Lin Qianxing's, at least 1.85 meters tall.
The muscles on his body are very prominent, and you can tell at a glance that he is very strong.
Lin Qianxing was only about 1.6 meters tall, a head shorter than him, and he also looked a little thin.
In terms of body size, they are not even in the same league.
But Lin Qianxing still did not retreat, just quietly watched Cheng Wu walk towards him.
When Cheng Wu got close to Lin Qianxing, he suddenly threw a punch.
Lin Qianxing stretched out his hand and tried to block Cheng Wu's fist.
Bang!
Lin Qianxing suddenly retreated more than three steps before he barely stopped.
The pain from his arm was so clear that Lin Qianxing knew instantly that his arm was fractured.
This guy's single-arm strength is not a thousand pounds, but it is at least four or five hundred pounds.
No wonder he could become the deputy gang leader.
Before Lin Qianxing could recover, Cheng Wu's subsequent punches and kicks followed.
Lin Qianxing didn't dare to take it head-on and could only choose to dodge.
However, the difference in attributes still caused Lin Qianxing to be kicked in the chest by Cheng Wu after he dodged several moves, and he flew backwards and fell to the ground.
“Ahem~!”
Lin Qianxing struggled to get up, some bright red liquid spurted out of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Cheng Wu opposite him.
"Still want to fight?" Cheng Wu sneered, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Come!" Lin Qianxing hooked his hand and said.
Cheng Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and without saying much, he took a step forward and rushed forward.
His movements were so wild and wide that Lin Qianxing saw many flaws in them.
The reason why Lin Qianxing was beaten by him before.
It’s entirely because one’s own attributes cannot keep up with consciousness.
However, as long as he can keep up, Lin Qianxing is confident that he can end the battle with one move.
People are very fragile and have weaknesses all over their bodies.
As long as the opportunity arises, a sharpened chopstick can kill you in an instant.
The moment Cheng Wu threw the punch, Lin Qianxing's blood surged rapidly, his pupils suddenly contracted, and adrenaline burst out suddenly.
At this moment, he finally caught up with Cheng Wu's movements.
Lin Qianxing dodged the punch by lightly turning his head to the side and punched Cheng Wu directly in the throat.
Bang~Crack~!
Cheng Wu covered his neck and took several steps back, his expression becoming extremely painful.
"Boss!"
"Chengtou!"
…
Seeing this, dozens of members of the Snake Shadow Gang rushed forward, some went to support Cheng Wu, and some prepared to attack Lin Qianxing directly.
At this time, Lin Qianxing was already seriously injured and overdrawn, and had no strength to fight them at all.
Seeing that they were about to get closer, Lin Qianxing curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, put his right middle finger and index finger together, and suddenly thrust them out.
The gun-shaped weapon in the depths of his consciousness flashed with light, and most of Lin Qianxing's mental power was absorbed by it.
The next moment, the weapons in the hands of the gang members began to tremble.
Tsk, tsk, tsk~!
All these weapons flew out and fell to the ground.
They looked at Lin Qianxing who stretched out his arms, and instantly became confused and uncertain.
Cheng Wu, who was covering his throat in the distance, widened his eyes.
"Go! Retreat!" Cheng Wu said to his younger brothers with all his strength.
He knew very well that he was in trouble today.
As for the skill that Lin Qianxing just demonstrated, he had never seen it, let alone heard of it.
This time he could only suffer in silence. Not to mention getting back the gold and silver, if Lin Qianxing made a fuss about it later, he would have to think about how to calm Lin Qianxing down.
He now even suspected that the relationship between Han Shouliang and Lin Qianxing might not be that simple.
It is possible that Han Shouliang taught Lin Qianxing not only calligraphy, but also something more profound.
Immediately, those gang members dragged Cheng Wu around Lin Qianxing and left quickly.
After they left, Lin Qianxing collapsed to the ground like mud.
What Lin Qianxing just used was the [True Art of Ten Thousand Guns].
As for why he could manipulate the weapons of these gang members?
Just like when he turned the sword in his sea of consciousness into a gun.
How can a gun or a sword be obsessed with form?
He thought those things were guns, so he could use the [True Art of Ten Thousand Guns] to control them.
However, his cultivation was still too low. Even after consuming most of his mental energy, he could only perform it with difficulty, and he couldn't even aim.
All of them were knocked to one side.
The good thing is that at least they were deterred .
But now his condition is a little bad.
His internal organs were severely injured, and his mental and physical strength were severely overdrawn. Even if he rested well, it would probably take several months to recover.
Wouldn't this cause trouble?
Lin Qianxing struggled to support his body, climbed to the head of his bed, and pulled out a rusty dagger from under the bed.
"I hope I won't be infected." Lin Qianxing complained.
Then he pulled open his clothes and stabbed his heart with the tip of the dagger.
Because he was weak from the injury and had too little strength, he only managed to break the skin.
Lin Qianxing gritted his teeth, turned over and pressed towards the ground, and finally used his body weight to pierce the dagger into his heart.
Phew~!
The heart burst, blood gushed out rapidly, and Lin Qianxing's eyes gradually became dark.
After a while, he completely lost his voice.
Immediately, just the next second.
The dagger in his chest was squeezed out by the regenerated muscles. Lin Qianxing suddenly opened his eyes and was reborn again.
