Shu Guan glanced at the people gathered outside the bookstore. All of them were wearing black short coats. But except for a few men in their thirties who stood in the front and looked mighty powerful, there were only a few people behind them. Young people in their twenties, and even a few teenagers, were obviously talented, but they looked very arrogant and stared at me fiercely.
The three strong men I met at the breakfast shop just now were also among the crowd.
Then Shu Guan turned his attention to the old man in the front. The old man was wearing a black satin robe. He looked to be in his early sixties. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was thin but in good spirits. His triangular eyes were shining brightly. One hand was pinned behind his back, and the other hand was holding two iron balls weighing a pound, whirring on the palm of his hand.
"I just went to Lao Zhou's shop and took a look. There are sixty-three chopsticks. Little brother, if you can break them with just your hands, you have more than ten years of skill."
The skinny old man stared at Shu Guan and said slowly:
"I, Meng Huibao, is from the Dali Eagle Claw Sect, and is also the leader of the Black Eagle Gang here. What do you call me, little brother? You also learned the kung fu from that house. Why don't we all get to know each other by a common name?"
As he spoke, the skinny old man who called himself Meng Huibao stretched out the hand that was originally pinned behind his back towards Shuguan and made a handshake gesture.
Shu Guan lowered his head and took a look, only to see that the old man's hands were huge, with protruding knuckles and thick calluses on them, which looked very scary.
So, is he going to shake hands with himself?
Shu Guan thought of the classic plots in the old-school martial arts novels he had read in his previous life. It seemed that those novels were quite alive.
Then Shu Guan reached out to the old man named Meng Huibao and shook his hand, and said with a smile:
"My name is Shu Guan. I haven't practiced any kung fu, but I am quite strong."
Hold hands.
Meng Huibao smiled proudly, and then the palms of his hands, which he had practiced for forty years, suddenly exerted force.
Meng Huibao can also break more than sixty chopsticks. This kid must have practiced for several years, but his palm strength is definitely not as good as his own.
Feeling the power coming from his palms, Shu Guan understood what the old man meant, so he also exerted a little force.
The next moment, beads of sweat as big as soybeans instantly appeared on Meng Huibao's forehead, and his dark old face turned pale.
Seeing this, Shu Guan quickly relaxed a little just before the old man opened his mouth and screamed in pain.
The main reason is that he doesn't know where the limit of his strength is now, so he doesn't know how much force he should use.
Then the two of them released their palms, and Meng Huibao retracted his palms as fast as lightning. His triangular eyes no longer had the original arrogance. In addition to fear, there was also some faint gratitude in his eyes as he looked at Shu Guan.
Naturally, it was because Shu Guan retained his strength at the last moment and prevented him from making a fool of himself in front of the gang.
Then Meng Huitang handed the two exaggerated iron balls in his other hand to a big man behind him, cupped his fists with both hands and bowed to Shu Guan:
"Brother Shu is really good at it."
Meng Huitang didn't believe the young man who just said that he had never practiced kung fu. Maybe he didn't want to talk about his inheritance. After experiencing the power of Shu Guan just now, he naturally didn't dare to ask again.
"But Brother Shu looks very unfamiliar. I've never seen him here before."
Then Meng Huitang said something like this tentatively.
"We came to Jingcheng and now we are settling under Guishan Mountain."
Meng Huitang suddenly realized that it turned out to be the group of foreigners who came the day before yesterday. He was originally thinking of arranging for someone to go to those group of foreigners to collect some filial piety, but now he was glad that they didn't go.
"I see. I wonder if Brother Shu will be free. Brother, I would like to host a hero's banquet at Yihong Mansion, and I would like to invite Brother Shu to the banquet."
Yihonglou? It doesn't sound like a serious restaurant... Moreover, these people in the world are so bold that they treat guests as soon as they meet them.
"We still have things to do, but I would like to thank you, Boss Meng, for your kindness."
Shu Guan chose to decline.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Meng Huibao's eyes, and then he cupped his hands again and said:
"Since Brother Shu is doing the same thing, I'll invite you next time. Xiushui Street and several piers by the river are the territory of our Black Eagle Gang. Brother Shu, if anything happens to you in the future, just come to me!" "
Meng Huibao patted his chest, then said goodbye and left.
Shu Guan looked blankly at the old man who left gracefully... You didn't tell me how to find you?
As for the fact that he gave the old man face just now, it was naturally for future plans.
Naturally, he is not afraid of these gang figures, and there is such a thing as Benevolence behind him, so he will not worry about the Black Hawk Gang coming to trouble him.
But since the people of Taoyuan Village have to live in this area in the future, it is better to live in harmony with these gangs and sometimes get some help than to be incompatible with each other.
Then Shu Guan also took Wang Dahu and Zhang Yadan back.
For the rest of the day, Shu Guan stayed in the shack reading the two books he bought, and never stepped out of the shack again.
…
Shu Guan slowly closed the "Introduction to World Geography".
He only briefly flipped through the book, but it still made his heart surge.
Because before this, Shu Guan always thought that he had traveled to a world very similar to the earth. Except for the existence of some extraordinary powers and practitioners like Li Zhixia and Mu Yao, there was not much else like the earth. different.
However, when he read this "Introduction to World Geography", he realized that he had guessed completely wrong before.
What he traveled to was a completely different world from Earth.
First of all, there is only one continent in this world.
In the center of the continent, there is a Kunlun Mountain Range that spans the entire continent from north to south, dividing the entire continent into two halves, namely the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent.
In addition, the continent is surrounded by endless oceans. Except for a few relatively large islands, there are no other continents. At least for now, humans in this world have not discovered other continents.
The vastness of the surrounding ocean seems to have no boundaries. Ever since the first steamship was launched in the Western Continent more than 500 years ago, adventurers from the Western Continent have launched a series of explorations to the end of the ocean. More than a hundred years have passed, and now ocean-going ships have become powered by heavy oil, but no one has yet been able to successfully explore the end of the ocean.
Over the past five hundred years, countless exploration ships have disappeared into the depths of the ocean, never to return.
In addition, there has never been a debate between "heliocentric theory" and "geocentric theory" in this world.
All scientists in the world agree that the sun, moon, and stars in the sky are appendages of their continent. They rise from the east of the ocean and set from the west of the ocean every day, providing energy for the survival and evolution of life in this world.
Moreover, through high-power telescopes, you can clearly see the sun, moon and stars in the sky, which is not out of reach. As long as current aircraft can fly higher, it seems that they can fly to those stars.
Of course, the scientific community has also made some new discoveries in recent years, that is, there seems to be an invisible energy layer high in the atmosphere, which separates the continent from the sun, moon and stars in the sky.
To truly reach the moon or the stars, you must first find a way to break through that energy layer.
And some laboratories in the United States of America seem to have already started doing research in this area.
After closing the "Introduction to World Geography", Shu Guan took a while to calm down his unexpected and shocking emotions.
It turns out that this is a completely different world from the earth!
At this moment, Shu Guan suddenly remembered the word "天" in Dahua, which had one more horizontal word "天" in it than the word "天" in the Chinese text of Earth.
Then, he started reading another book: "General History of Dahua".
