Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 585: The Master of the Stick
Wang Zhen obviously looked down upon the Demon-Subduing Stick.
He had a better axe of his own.
Lin Qianxing asked Wang Zhen if there was anything he wanted to do, and he just said that he wanted to have a drink with Lin Qianxing.
Although there was no purple energy, Lin Qianxing still agreed.
This was a simple matter, so Lin Qianxing went to Wang Zhen's home, looked at the mountain he had split, and drank some wine together.
In terms of fighting strength, Lin Qianxing was slightly better, but in terms of bladder strength, Wang Zhen won.
He was of a big build, which gave him a considerable advantage.
The two men had no intention of using their internal energy to force the wine out, so naturally Lin Qianxing could not bear it to some extent.
"It's wonderful. It's rare to have someone who can drink with me. From now on, you will be my friend, Wang Zhen." Wang Zhen patted Lin Qianxing on the shoulder and said.
Lin Qianxing was slapped by Wang Zhen so hard that his stature became shorter, with his legs buried several inches into the ground. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking a little helpless.
Wang Zhen was born different. Even though he later achieved extraordinary success, he still couldn't fit in with the crowd. Others would fear him, be afraid of him, and admire him, but no one could be friends with him.
Putting aside other things, even a True Realm warrior might not be able to withstand a pat on the shoulder from Wang Zhen.
Not to mention drinking with him.
For most people, drinking from a large bowl is considered a huge amount, but Wang Zhen could drink an entire jar of wine in one breath.
Among humans, he is somewhat of an outlier.
Of course, he doesn't really like interacting with ordinary people.
In his opinion, those people were too vulgar and there was really no need to associate with them.
So he lived alone in the mountains for decades, devoting himself to the study of martial arts.
"If I come again someday, I won't lose." Lin Qianxing said.
He meant drinking.
Lin Qianxing decided to practice this skill so that he could drink all the water in a lake. Even if Wang Zhen had a larger capacity, he might not be able to beat him.
"Hahaha... I'm waiting." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
He obviously didn't believe it.
The reason why Lin Qianxing was able to compete with him in drinking this time was because he relied on his strong physique and forced the wine to be compressed and stored in his organs. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to compete with Wang Zhen.
Lin Qianxing did not argue and turned away with Ning Caier.
He still remembered that he had an unfinished commission.
Holding the demon-subduing stick, Lin Qianxing searched for another half a month.
It seemed that no one needed this stick except the woman who was hanging the clothes.
If it is needed, the stick will look down on it.
Lin Qianxing found Chi Gang and planned to go to a farther place to have a look.
When he arrived at the place where Chi Gang was waiting, he found it playing with a golden monkey about two meters tall.
The golden monkey was very smart. Its tail hung upside down on the tree branch, holding some fruits in its arms, and threw them far away to Chi Gang. Chi Gang just opened his mouth and caught them one by one.
The monkey looked happy when he saw Chi Gang caught the fruit, and he was laughing and scratching his ears.
"Chi Gang, is this your friend?" Lin Qianxing asked.
Hearing Lin Qianxing's voice, Chi Gang and the monkey also noticed his presence.
The monkey wanted to run away immediately, but Chi Gang stopped it.
"Gang Gang Gang~!" Chi Gang explained to Lin Qianxing.
Its language is the animal language taught by Lin Qianxing, and it makes sounds at a certain frequency to express information.
What it means at this time is that this monkey has known him for a month and is his good friend.
Lin Qianxing looked at the monkey and asked, "Do you have a name?"
The monkey seemed to understand what Lin Qianxing said. It scratched its ears and said, "Squeak, squeak, squeak~!"
It turned out to be the language that Lin Qianxing used to teach Chi Gang.
It said that it didn't have a formal name and wanted Lin Qianxing to help it choose one.
"You monkey are so smart." Lin Qianxing said with a smile.
In just one month, he actually learned the animal language here in Chigang.
It goes without saying that monkeys are very intelligent.
Lin Qianxing said: "Come down and walk a few steps."
The monkey's tail untied the branch it was wrapped around, and its body fell from a height of several meters to the ground. It walked back and forth twice with its back slightly bent, and then looked at Lin Qianxing with anticipation.
"It looks like it, it really does." Lin Qianxing said with a smile, "It would look even more like it if we could add a stick. I just happen to have one here."
Lin Qianxing stretched out his hand, and Ning Caier understood and handed the demon-subduing stick on her back to Lin Qianxing.
"Take it." Lin Qianxing raised his hand and threw the demon-subduing stick to the monkey.
The monkey jumped up and caught the stick.
Soon it tried to play with it without any instruction, and then raised the stick to knock down a fruit.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~!" The monkey looked at the stick happily and was extremely satisfied with the stick for hitting the fruit.
Seeing that the Demon-Subduing Stick had no intention of rejecting it, Lin Qianxing was also happy and said, "I'll give it to you. What do you think?"
“Squeak, squeak, squeak~!”
Upon hearing this, the monkey hurriedly bowed to Lin Qianxing while holding the stick.
A stream of purple air floated out from the Demon-Subduing Stick, landed on Lin Qianxing's body and disappeared.
Lin Qianxing looked at the monkey and said, "When I saw you, I remembered an old friend of mine. His name is too big for you to bear, but you don't have to have the same surname as him. Take his surname, and you can be surnamed Sun. Today you have obtained this treasure, and treasures belong to those who are virtuous. You have golden fur, so how about you be named Dejin? It's a bit vulgar, but it suits you perfectly."
The monkey squeaked twice and bowed to Lin Qianxing to express his gratitude again.
Lin Qianxing smiled. He didn't expect that after searching everywhere for the magic stick, he finally found the owner of the magic stick here.
From now on, this stick will probably be used to beat fruits.
This is also a good thing.
No one has stipulated that weapons must kill people.
Isn’t picking fruits a way to make the best use of them?
"Chi Gang, say hello to De Jin, we have to go." Lin Qianxing said to Chi Gang.
Upon hearing this, Chi Gang looked at the monkey and said, "Gang Gang Gang~!"
The monkey also waved his arms and said, "Squeak, squeak, squeak~!"
Soon after, Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier rode away on Chigang again.
This time, Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier went to the extreme north of Yu Kingdom.
There is a huge mountain range here that blocks the cold wind from the other side from invading the country of Yu.
Lin Qianxing had never been here before.
This time, he also saw the scenery on the other side.
There are some houses mixed in the white snow.
The area is vast and sparsely populated, and it is cold all year round.
This area is called [Siguo].
This country is as cold as the world here. Although there are some rules, there are not many. The law of the jungle is the only main theme.
If two people die in a remote place, no one will care once the wind and snow cover them.
Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier had not been here for long when they were robbed more than five times because they were dressed a little more brightly.
Those who became greedy were also sent into the snow and wind by Ning Caier.
The cold wind from the north blew as Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier stepped into the capital of Si State.
It's relatively civilized here.
But it is also limited.
Their civilization simply threw the bodies outside when they appeared on the streets to avoid congestion.
Such barbaric rules can only breed barbaric people.
But there are always exceptions, and this is also the case here.
The handsome young man with a red face from the cold looked at Lin Qianxing. His hands covered with frostbite were shaking, but he still held the blade tightly and faced Lin Qianxing.
"Take out the food." said the boy.
Lin Qianxing had no expression on his face. He continued to eat the food in his mouth leisurely, and then asked, "What's your name?"
"Give me...something to eat!" the boy roared.
He had never done anything like this before, but this time it was because his sister fell down and he needed to find .
None of those people who used to be close to my sister were willing to give them food. They looked at him as if he were the god of plague.
He had no choice but to rob.
Although Lin Qianxing and Ning Caier's clothes and accessories were simple, they were rare and precious in a place like this.
Because they were smaller in stature than the people of Si State, the boy thought they were easy to bully.
However, just looking at the way those people avoided the two, you would know that they were not easy to mess with.
In this windy and snowy place, being able to wear such thin clothes and still move freely is almost showing that one is different from the ordinary.
However, the boy lacked life experience, or was too well protected, to notice these things.
"Name." Lin Qianxing did not give him food, but asked.
"If you don't give me food, I will kill you!!" said the boy.
He almost cried out these words.
Lin Qianxing was not moved, but looked at his trembling hands indifferently.
The young man plucked up his courage and walked towards Lin Qianxing, but in the end he did not stab him.
"My name is Abe. Please, give me some food and save my sister. She hasn't eaten for two days." Abe said.
Lin Qianxing nodded and asked Ning Caier to get food for him.
Abei kowtowed twice to Lin Qianxing in gratitude , then turned and left.
When he got home, he shouted, "Sister, I found food. You don't have to starve anymore."
No sound came from the cold room .
He pushed open the bedroom door, and there was no movement under the slightly dirty quilt.
With disbelief on his face, Abei cautiously came to his sister's side and stretched out his hand.
There was a chill coming from under the quilt.
As cold as the earth.
Abe couldn't cry, he just collapsed on the ground, his hat slipped off his head, and his long hair spread behind him. He looked like a girl?
Or rather, she is a girl.
The two women depend on each other here. The pain they have to go through in order to survive is naturally hard to describe.
Abe spent several carefree years under the protection of his sister.
Although I can’t say I had everything, at least I never went hungry.
On the day her sister died, she said to her, "If I die, go to the cliff outside the city east and jump off. It's springtime down there all year round, with endless food. You won't have to suffer from hunger or cold again, and my sister's spirit will be waiting for you there."
The elder sister knew very well that without her, it would be impossible for Abei, a woman, to survive in such an extremely cold place. Even if she survived, she would have to endure unimaginable pain.
She couldn't bear to see that scene, so she had to make up a lie.
A cruel but beautiful lie.
Abei ate the food given by Lin Qianxing, then packed up and went to the cliff outside the east of the city.
She had seen people carrying dead bodies and throwing them down from here.
She didn't know what it was at that time, and when she came back and asked her sister about it, she was scolded.
In her heart, she seemed to understand what was down there, but she also vaguely hoped that her sister was waiting for her down there.
When we arrived at the edge of the cliff, the only sound we could hear was the howling cold wind beneath the bottomless cliff.
Abei was a little scared. She stood up and took two steps back, then she stopped again.
"Sister, I'm here."
Abe plucked up his courage, ran two steps, and then jumped down.
