Chapter 660 – Small Town in the Past

　　Mirror State is located in the northwestern part of Vietnam, because it is located in a remote place, few large cities, towns and small towns are common. The territory is mostly small hills, desolate and uninhabited land is a large presence. Therefore, the mirror state bandits and thieves far more than the rest of the states, but also the jianghu martial arts characters are the most mixed place, there has been no big jianghu forces, can be unified in this area. However, this has also caused the people of this place is tough, dart board horse gangs and so on more than the emergence, and the mirror state of the number of bandits into a stark contrast.

　　This day, in the middle of nowhere, on the side of a dirt road, a scene often seen in Mirror State was staged again.

　　Hundreds of brawny men in rough clothing, each with a black scarf on their heads, wielding a wide variety of weapons, were besieging more than thirty green-clothed men. And under the clusters of the green-clothed men, several high-topped carriages were escorted by the group. It was a fierce scene of bandits fighting against a dart board.

　　Behind these bandits, there were three other black-robed men with similar faces, coldly looking at this scene, with vicious colors appearing on their faces from time to time.

　　And in the carriage nearby, there are several young strong men dressed in the clothes of the family guard there, each holding a stick, with a slightly tense face. Behind the three or four cars, sitting in a few women and children dressed in beautiful costumes, the front of the largest carriage, then a face is not shocked by the middle-aged Confucian student sitting inside. This person three wisps of beard black hair, although the hands are not tied chicken appearance, but there is another kind of long time on the top of the inexplicable momentum, so that people do not dare to look at it idly.

　　Middle-aged Confucian opposite, there is a blue brocade garments of the gnarled man back against the wall of the car sitting there, this person has two hands thick, eyes shooting light, is a rare jianghu top master.

　　The identity of these two people is obviously extraordinary, look calm and comfortable, and such a large carriage, only these two people, there is no third person and they are in the same car.

　　These two people are silent at the moment, but through the carriage on the half-covered window, can still see the situation outside really see, outside the killing sound, screams from time to time into the car.

　　The bandits with black scarves on their heads were many and powerful, while the dart board’s dart masters in green clothes were more skilled, and for a while the two sides were in a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner from the loser.

　　Seeing this situation, the Confucian slightly smiled and suddenly said to the opposite gnarled bearded man, “It seems that we don’t need to work hard for Brother Knight to make a move, the Tianwu Dart Bureau can also be enough to cope with the past!”

　　”Hehehe! If the three leaders of the Black Turban Pirates don’t make a move, the Tianwu Dart Bureau can naturally deal with these fishes, but if the three of them make a move, these dart masters and fellows won’t be able to withstand it. After all, the three leaders of the black scarf pirates, is also the Mirror State Road well-known ruthless characters. I heard that the three of them are siblings, very good at joining forces, and ordinary good players are far from being an enemy.” The big man said, his face even vaguely showed the color of excitement, at the same time stretched out thick fingers slightly bent, issued a “crunch” “crunch” sound, clearly is the outer door of martial arts to reach the peak of excellence due to.

　　”Brother Li ah! Whenever you talk about striking out with people, you are this itchy and impatient, simply the same as the old Uncle Knight.” The Confucian saw the big man’s appearance like this and laughed dumbly. A look of taking the big man and not being able to do anything about it.

　　”Han Xian Di, this is a natural thing, our Knight family is a family of martial arts, and when we encounter some interested opponents, we naturally want to stretch out a bit, this is the same reason as your Han family has been a family of scholars for generations, and there will always be one or two people who will enter the dynasty as an official. But let me wonder, we Han, Li two families so south, how could become a family friend in the first place? And it’s continued for so many years, and the generations have been able to be so good friends!” The big man clasped both hands and said with a bit of wonder.

　　”Hehe! Some days ago, I inadvertently turned over some handwritten notes, but also know some of the past events of the past years. If brother Li wants to know, I can tell you a bit about it, but how much of it is true, I don’t know.” The Confucian said with a light smile.

　　”Really! Pity that our Knight family doesn’t have the habit of recording the affairs of our ancestors, apart from leaving behind a few sets of exquisite martial arts, there is not a single mention of how our Han and Knight families interacted back then.” The big man surnamed Li sniffed and revealed a curious look, seemingly quite interested.

　　”Not good, those three guys have really struck out. Sage brother wait a moment, I’ll dispatch those three and come back to talk to me about this matter.” The gnarled bearded man swept his eyes towards the outside, his face changed slightly and said, then with a “whoosh” sound, the person had shot out of the carriage like a strong crossbow.

　　Then outside came the sound of the big man’s wild laughter, fighting screams rose.

　　Confucian sighed, lightly shook his head to put down the curtain, no longer look out, seems to be confident in the big man look.

　　After a tea’s work, the sound outside finally gradually stopped.

　　Caravan curtains move, the big man dusty flashed into the car, shoulder slightly some crimson, seems to be slightly injured look, but it is rushed to the Confucian scholar laughed loudly and said: “These three guys, there are some means, so that I also spend some more feet. However, these three people were also killed by me, and from now on, the Black Turban Thief is considered to have disappeared in Mirror State.” The gnarled bearded man looked like he was enjoying himself.

　　When the Confucian saw this, he looked apologetic: “If Brother Li hadn’t followed me this time, I’m afraid that the road to my hometown to pay homage to my ancestors would have become a road to death for me Han Rui, it seems that those opponents really hated me to the bone ah! However, this has dragged Brother Li into trouble.”

　　”What’s the point of being dragged into this? The Li family can be in the jianghu peaceful foothold so far, is not also your Han family several times to help it! You and I supporting each other is our job.” The big man surnamed Li said carelessly.

　　”That’s true, it’s Han who’s being pretentious.” The Confucian scholar smiled, his complexion returning to normal, and he was also a person who could afford to let go.

　　”However, Sage Brother Han! Don’t forget to tell me about the past of the two families, I’m very curious about this!” The big man took out a bottle of Golden Sore Medicine and rubbed it on his shoulder while suddenly remembering this matter, he asked.

　　”This is natural. Speaking of which, the process by which your two families and mine formed a worldly friendship is still a bit unbelievable. Do you still remember the Seven Mysteries Sect that momentarily dominated Mirror State City decades ago? The ancestors of our two families were once masters and brothers in this jianghu gang. According to the handwritten note, one of our Han family’s uncles and your Li family’s ancestor, in the Seven Xuanmen Sect, were like brothers, supporting each other, and from there, our two families began to make friends. And this uncle of ours is an even more remarkable person, it is said that back then ……”

　　In the middle-aged Confucian’s faint speaking voice, after the green-clothed people buried the bodies of both sides on the spot, the several carriages re-commenced traveling forward, gradually moving farther and farther away, disappearing from this desolate place.

　　”Green Ox Town?”

　　Han Li, covered in green light, floated hundreds of feet in the air, looking at the small town beneath his feet, a hint of doubt spreading across his face.

　　Although this small town was pitifully small, only a few miles in size, he couldn’t find a trace of similarity when compared to the town he remembered that only had a single street in the area. However, according to the location in his memory, this was indeed the Qingniu Town of that year without error.

　　It seemed that after not having returned for more than a hundred years, the town back then had already flourished into a real town. Han Li stared blankly in the air for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly cast a concealment spell and appeared in an unnoticed alleyway with a sinking figure before strutting out of the alleyway and slowly moving forward along the not-so-wide street.

　　”It really is different!” Han Li muttered to himself in his heart as he looked at the extremely unfamiliar houses and attics on both sides of the street.

　　For some reason, knowing that as long as he flew a little further to the west, he would be able to see the small mountain village where he was born and raised and the large dark green mountain, he hesitated, and couldn’t help but land right here in the already drastically changed Qingniu Town.

　　At this moment, Han Li was calm and unruffled on the surface, but in his heart, he desperately hoped to find a trace of familiar shadows in his memory from both sides. But so far, he was in a state of disappointment.

　　Suddenly Han Li’s footsteps slowed and he stopped at a three-way intersection, and he gazed at a small, dilapidated liquor store at the side of the intersection, motionless in place.

　　This restaurant is short and old, only two-story size, in the restaurant door hangs the “spring fragrance” two words of the deep yellow plaque, it is Han Li once lived in two days of the old place, Han Li’s third uncle, the “Han fat man” in charge of the spring fragrance restaurant.

　　Looking at this restaurant, Han Li’s fuzzy memories of the past opened the floodgates.

　　Round-faced chubby third uncle, the restaurant after the narrow incomparable courtyard, gray light compartments, fragrant and delicious meals, inserted seven Xuanmen small flag of the black carriage …… This and so on everything, clear and incomparable surfaced in front of Han Li.

　　Han Li looked at the restaurant, his face full of complexity as a hint of gloom passed through his gaze.

　　He looked at the restaurant for a while longer, and suddenly realized that the passersby on the side looked at him with odd expressions. It was no wonder that a young man staring intently at a dilapidated liquor store without moving was indeed a bit odd.

　　Han Li thought briefly, his complexion returned to its normal color, and with his hands behind his back, he slowly paced towards the restaurant.
