Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Chapter 271: Sect Distribution, Life Bottle Curse

"The ten major sects in Qinghe County are seven schools, two religions, and one martial arts school."

Seeing Chen Changfan's attentive attitude, Yue Lingfei immediately became alert.

"Among the seven sects, five are martial sects. The Ink Blade Sect, the Wave Sword Sect, the Flying Swallow Sect, the Iron Armor Sect, and the Fire Sect."

Sect Leader Huo?

This name is so easy to be misunderstood.

"There are more than ten martial arts techniques in my Mo Dao Sect. The [Muscle-Splitting and Bone-Crushing Hand] I just used is one of them. Do you want to learn it?"

Yue Lingfei asked again in a teasing manner, but Chen Changfan just drank without even batting an eyelid.

"It's boring!"

Yue Lingfei quickly gave a brief introduction to the other four sects, "The Langjian Sect doesn't have many unique skills, only the [Langjian Jue] and [Tingchao Gong] are passable.

The Feiyan Sect is good at using hidden weapons and light skills, and they are all rats who can only launch sneak attacks.

The Tieyi Sect practiced external martial arts, and each of them had thick skin and flesh, like a bull, and was really crude.

As for Sect Leader Huo, he's overly obsessed with fists and kicks. While he can train his fists and kicks to be as strong as weapons, the process is also extremely painful. After ten years of painstakingly practicing Fire Palms, he might as well be selling sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Unexpectedly, among these seven schools, five of them are martial arts systems. This shows the prevalence of martial spirit in the Dawu Dynasty.

But he could only believe half of what he heard from Yue Lingfei, because Chen Changfan felt that she was trying to exalt herself and belittle others.

"The other two sects are quite special. One is the Confucianist sect Taixu Pavilion, and the other is the sorcerer sect Difei Mountain. These two sects are mysterious and have no respect for martial ethics when fighting. They are the existences that warriors like us despise."

It is true that there is no moral ethics in martial arts.

But you shouldn't be spitting at the other person, you should be angry because you can't hit him.

"The two religions are very famous, you should have heard of them. After all, the followers of the two religions are spread all over the Nine Provinces, and their influence is enormous.

The Wushen Cult believes in the ancient witch god, and its magic is mysterious and strange. Its followers are very fanatical and warlike, and each one of them is like a mad dog.

The Water God Cult worships the ancient water god. It is said that the sect was built beneath the Qing River. The believers are very low-key and have always been mysterious.

"As for the last martial arts school, it's one of the official martial arts schools of our Great Wu Dynasty, spread across the Nine Provinces. These schools recruit talented people from all over the world and train warriors. The threshold for joining a martial arts school is high, but the training resources are sufficient, though there are many restrictions. If a war really breaks out, these warriors will have to go to the battlefield."

After listening to the introduction, Chen Changfan seemed to be thinking about something.

Generally speaking, the six forces in Qinghe County are all warrior systems, and the five major sects have their own strengths, while the martial arts halls are formal state-owned enterprises, focusing on stability and reliability, but also have the most restrictions.

Yue Lingfei obviously didn't know much about the other Confucian scholars and sorcerers' sects, as well as the two religions, and needed to inquire further.

At the same time, a question spread in Chen Changfan's mind.

Is there really a God in this world?

If so, are the "witch gods" and "water gods" they believe in some kind of extraordinary creatures, or are they truly omnipotent gods?

He didn't ask this question because Yue Lingfei was already drunk.

"It's really boring to drink like this, let's go to the rooftop."

As he spoke, Yue Lingfei, seeing the somewhat ashamed expressions of the master and disciple, hugged two jars of lantern wine in his arms and climbed onto the roof in a few steps.

Chen Changfan followed closely behind, carrying two bottles of Erguotou.

The master and disciple also wanted to follow suit and went up to the roof to drink, but they found that their legs were weak and they couldn't use any lightness skills at all.

The night wind was blowing and the view from the roof was excellent.

It was a cold night, but Yue Lingfei seemed oblivious to the cold. She picked up the jar of wine and gulped it down.

After drinking half a jar of wine, she looked up at Chen Changfan who was holding two glass bottles beside her and curled her lips.

"If you can't drink it, go to the kids' table. How dare you drink this small bottle of wine?"

Boo!

As Chen Changfan pulled out the cork, a rich aroma of wine spread in the wind, and Yue Lingfei's dark eyes lit up instantly.

"This wine smells so good, give me a bottle!"

Chen Changfan casually threw the Erguotou, Yue Lingfei jumped up, reached out to catch it, and before her body landed, she had already pulled out the cork and took a sip of the wine.

"Ha! This wine burns like a knife! It's strong!"

The gleam in Yue Lingfei's eyes became even brighter, and she took another big sip of wine, revealing an extremely intoxicated expression.

Although Yue Lingfei was just over the age of 15, a sixth-rank warrior shouldn't be blackout drunk, so Chen Changfan wasn't worried about whether she would get drunk or not.

He himself was not afraid of the alcohol, but he drank more politely, drinking one sip after another in the night breeze.

"I heard that you broke through to the third level in just three months. Even I can't help but feel jealous of such a monstrous martial arts genius."

Halfway through drinking, Yue Lingfei suddenly became serious and said while looking at Chen Changfan's profile.

"Master Yue, you're overly kind. You're only sixteen years old, a sixth-rank warrior. Your talent is miles ahead of mine."

Chen Changfan's words came from the heart.

After all, most of the warriors he had seen were stuck at the first or second level throughout their lives. Yue Lingfei was only sixteen years old, but she had already reached a height that they could never reach.

"You only see my martial arts realm, but how do you know that I actually owe a lot of debts?"

A pile of debt?

Chen Changfan was about to speak, but he found that when the other party said this, a rare look of loneliness suddenly flashed across his face.

Yue Lingfei gently stroked the inky blade, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes.

It seems that this always bright and lively girl also has some unknown thoughts.

Chen Changfan drank a sip of wine silently, and suddenly a strange voice suddenly appeared in his ears:

"Sister, you don't owe anyone anything."

"Who's talking? Who's over there?"

He clearly heard a strange voice, but he did not sense the presence of this person.

"What are you talking about? Did you hear it wrong? There are only two of us here."

A rare look of panic suddenly appeared on Yue Lingfei's face, and she subconsciously tightened the ink knife in her hand.

impossible.

He clearly heard a young female voice just now. With his hearing ability, there was no way he could have heard it wrong.

tread!

At this moment, an extremely light sound of footsteps came from an alley dozens of meters away. Chen Changfan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure disappear into the darkness.

"There's a thief!"

With a low shout, Chen Changfan shot out like an arrow. After a moment of hesitation, Yue Lingfei also stepped onto the eaves and followed closely behind him.

The figure hiding in the shadows saw the two men rushing towards him with great momentum, and immediately a gloomy expression appeared on his face.

"How could this be discovered? It's really weird!"

Although the man was cursing, his hands were moving quickly.

He threw something out of his sleeve, and unexpectedly summoned a water mirror that was more than a person's height. The water mirror was emitting a hazy light, and no one knew where it led to.

This water mirror is a miniature teleportation array. Once you enter it, you will be teleported away instantly. It is an excellent escape tool.

"Two crude warriors, you want to capture me? Ha!"

The figure uttered a hoarse sneer. He was a sturdy man who was about to step into the water mirror.

Chen Changfan took out several talismans and was about to ignite them when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm and the originally dim beast head mark suddenly lit up.

Life Bottle Curse.

It can actually restrict his use of magic.

Fortunately, this curse does not seem to limit his physical strength.

At critical moments, we still have to be strong and resist all kinds of nonsense.

Chen Changfan put away the talisman and was about to take further action when he suddenly heard the sound of wind coming from the side.

I saw a pitch-black shadow flash behind me, instantly passing a distance of dozens of meters, and slashing diagonally on the smooth water mirror.

The ink shadow hit the water mirror, and the water mirror actually shattered like a mirror. The man had already stepped one leg into it and was trying to pull his leg back in a hurry.

But he only lifted half of his bloody thigh.

The cross-section of the broken leg was cut very flat, and blood was gushing out at this time. The unpleasant smell of blood spread with the wind.

Yue Lingfei flashed in front of him, and the dark shadow quickly shrank back, condensing into a pitch-black long sword in his hand, which was almost impossible to see in the dark night.

The man held his broken leg and rolled back and forth on the ground in pain. There was only a pool of blood on the ground, and the remaining half of the leg could not be found.

It seemed as if the severed leg had been teleported away along with the water mirror at that moment.

"Run, why aren't you running now?"

Yue Lingfei kicked the man in the chest, and he was kicked flying, hitting the wall hard and then falling down.

Chen Changfan only heard a series of cracking sounds. He didn't know how many bones were broken by this kick.

She is indeed worthy of being a sixth-rank warrior. She just kicked out casually and almost killed the man. She is really stronger than a donkey.

"Leave him alive. I want to interrogate him."

Chen Changfan was afraid that Yue Lingfei would snatch the head away, so he spoke quickly.

After experiencing the life of a skinning rat, Chen Changfan has gained a lot of experience in interrogation.

"There's no water dungeon or torture instruments here, how are you going to interrogate him?"

Yue Lingfei asked curiously, but she stopped attacking and looked at Chen Changfan with some curiosity.

"If the heart is a judge, everywhere is a torture chamber."

Under the man's forcedly calm gaze, Chen Changfan calmly took out a bag of salt from his arms and sprinkled it evenly on the man's broken leg.

The man's eyes rolled back in pain. "It's my bad luck to fall into your hands. You... just kill me!"

"The word 'unlucky' is not accurate. You are very unlucky today."

Chen Changfan took out the katydid cage and began to select the poisonous insects.

The screams lasted for half an hour and then stopped. The man said everything he should and shouldn't say, but in the end he was killed by Chen Changfan with a knife.

Yue Lingfei was sweating coldly as she watched from the side.

I have never seen a living Bodhisattva, but today I have seen a living King of Hell.

Of course, she did not sympathize with the man. He climbed over the wall and entered the yard in the middle of the night. He was either a bandit or an enemy. If he had not been caught by the two of them, Chen Changfan's family would have been in trouble.

The man was the leader of the Water Dragon Gang. Chen Changfan led his team to annihilate one of their squads today, so the gang leader sent him to launch a night attack in revenge.

He originally thought that if revenge failed, he could escape by teleporting with the help of the water mirror.

Who knew that Yue Lingfei would come to visit tonight, and the two of them ran to the eaves to drink, and luckily heard his footsteps.

The man reacted quickly enough and activated the water mirror to teleport immediately, but Yue Lingfei's ink knife was even more evil. It directly turned into an ink shadow and broke the teleportation.

To be honest, it can only be said that this man was really unlucky. He was killed before he could hurt the other party at all, and his origin and purpose were also exposed.

There was no way out. His spirit was almost broken by the torture, and Chen Changfan's knife strike was actually a relief.

"The Water Dragon Gang is a branch of the Water God Cult, so it's no surprise that they can use the Water Mirror to teleport."

Yue Lingfei picked up a palm-sized silver mirror from the ground, studied it for a few seconds but saw no response, and then threw it directly to Chen Changfan.

"I can't use this magic weapon, you try it."

Chen Changfan was not polite and directly transferred some energy. The silver mirror cast a ray of light, forming a mirror surface in front of him that emitted a misty water light.

After counting the ancient books of the Wushen Cult, Chen Changfan also mastered several methods of driving magic weapons. He tried it just now and it worked.

"I didn't expect that you also know those things in the divine religion. I really underestimated you." Yue Lingfei's gaze fell on Chen Changfan's palm. After seeing the beast head rune, her face changed.

"You seem to be cursed. Is it related to the Witch God Cult?"

"How did you tell?"

After Chen Changfan was cursed by the life bottle, he didn't feel anything unusual and thought it was no big deal.

When he was using magic today, the curse suddenly broke out, which made him secretly afraid.

"I've seen that beast head pattern before. It's a totem unique to the Wushen Cult. Look at the back of that small mirror. There's also a beast head totem, but that's from the Water God Cult."

Chen Changfan turned over the back of the small mirror and found that there was indeed a strange animal head pattern.

However, the beast head of the Water God Cult seems to be surrounded by many wave patterns, which seems to represent "water".

The animal head mark on the palm of the hand is surrounded by many star-shaped decorations, and it is unknown what it represents.

"Master Yue, do you know how to lift the curse?"

It would be fine if you didn't look closely, but the more you looked at it, the more evil this curse mark seemed to be, giving Chen Changfan a very bad feeling.

Yue Lingfei shook her head. "The methods of the Ancient Gods are too strange. I don't know how to break them. However, the price of this curse is not small, and it can even be said to be proportional."

"how do I say this?"

"Judging from the effects of this curse, it seems to restrict your ability to use magic. Just like when you were about to activate the talisman, your spellcasting was suddenly interrupted. At the same time, the caster would also face a similar situation. How deep is your grudge against the Wushen Cult?"

"It's not a big grudge. I just destroyed a clone."

Chen Changfan found that the mark on his palm had dimmed and disappeared again, and his mood improved a little.

I feel like this curse doesn't seem to have much impact on me.

I just don’t know if Zhu Dalong will feel very jealous.

Judging from the course of previous battles, Zhu Dalong is particularly adept at magic. If he suddenly loses his skills while fighting with others, the scene would be very interesting to imagine.

"A life thief's clone? A life thief who can create a clone must be at the seventh or even eighth level. I don't know how much effort he must have put into creating this clone. No wonder he cursed you."

It seems that I need to be more careful when I meet people from the Witch God Cult in the future, otherwise I might be targeted by Zhu Dalong's clone.

If they meet again, the two will definitely fight to the death.

"If you curse me for breaking one of your life bottles, I don't mind breaking a few more."

Chen Changfan raised his eyebrows.
