Episode 2 Chapter 12 Blood Cloud Thieves
"Eyebrow space, don't try indiscriminately. Meng Xiangu said, "Trying indiscriminately may allow you to discover all kinds of benefits." But it can also have irreversible consequences. Everything has to go with its flow. ”
Meng Chuan nodded.
"Go with the flow, and you'll naturally master some of the usages in your practice. Meng Xiangu smiled, "This is the gentlest method, wait until you enter the Yuan Chu Mountain and find the secret book about it." You can understand how to use it thoroughly. ”
"Yes, Grandmother. Meng Chuan replied respectfully. He asked his father and aunt about the same reason. An unknown force, without the experience of previous people, purely on its own to explore! Too dangerous.
Now, I have the certainty of grasping the situation in a short period of time, and there is no need to take risks.
"Also, the matter of the space in the center of the eyebrows must be kept secret. Meng Xiangu's gaze swept over the father and son, "You must not tell anyone else." ”
"Yes. Both father and son replied.
......
After visiting his aunt and grandmother, Meng Chuan returned to Jinghu Mengfu and continued his 8,000 sword drawing posture today.
In the martial arts training ground.
There were guards standing on the branches of large trees, holding crossbows facing downward.
Meng Chuan stood a few zhang away, the knife in the scabbard.
"It doesn't feel like it's the same as it used to be. Meng Chuan could clearly sense all the movements of the guard on the big tree, and the guard first looked at his young master, his hand muscles began to tense, and then his fingers pulled the trigger. The process of pulling and the process of the small flying arrow in the repeater being ejected were extremely clearly 'perceived' by Meng Chuan.
Call.
At the moment when the guard's finger just started to be pulled, Meng Chuan's figure had already flashed.
As soon as the small arrow flew out, the sword light slashed through the sky and cut through the red dot on the shaft of the arrow.
"Ahh The guard was startled, and the sword light literally cut through his face, very close to the repeater in his hand.
"This and this, this ......" The guards were frightened, and even the other guards and servants who were watching were startled.
The little arrow was cut off as soon as it was fired, and it was too close.
Warriors also have reaction time, normal reaction time, and the arrows should fly a little distance.
"I'm prejudicing. Meng Chuan's guards were all shocked, and casually made up, "Ma Sanhe shot this crossbow, I don't know how many times he shot it." I predicted that he was going to shoot an arrow, so I immediately shot it...... Sure enough, as soon as the arrow flew out, I struck it. ”
"The young master is amazing. ”
"The young master's prediction is really accurate. "All of them are praising and boasting.
Meng Chuan smiled.
Prediction requires a lot of experience and some luck. Because the movements of powerful warriors are blurred under the naked eye. For example, if a guard pulls the trigger on a tree, how fast does a marrow cleansing realm guard pull the trigger?
Meng Chuan is not.
He can 'sense' everything in great detail, the change in the guard's eyes, the natural preparation of his body for action, the moment he pulls the trigger...... Everything is crystal clear.
There is no need to predict, you can 'see' and make a move.
"If that's the case, I'll be able to hit the arrow every time. It will be difficult to practice your knife skills. Meng Chuan said secretly.
"Well, set a rule for yourself. ”
"The moment you have to shoot the arrow, you have to shoot it again. Meng Chuan made a decision, his cultivation of the sword drawing style was fast and accurate after all!
"Come on. Meng Chuan commanded.
"Yes. ”
Ma Sanlian restrained his spirit, and the sword light flying in front of him just now was indeed scary enough.
Shout.
Shooting arrows again, this time Meng Chuan still observed the whole process very clearly, but he only drew his sword at the moment when the arrows were ejected.
In a flash, the fluttering sword light had already cut into the red dot of the arrow pole, and the knife qi fell on the trunk of the tree wrapped in iron sheets, leaving traces.
The young master didn't predict again. "Those guards and servants have just regained their calm, this is normal! Eight thousand times a day, the young master used to draw his sword like this.
Because I went to the ancestral house, the time to practice the sword drawing style was a little late today, and I am afraid that the three hours will last until the afternoon.
......
Dongning Mansion, an ordinary house.
A fat man in a hat and a bearded man came to the door of the house and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man inside glanced outward, and immediately smiled: "It's Second Master Zhao who is here, please inside." ”
"Hmm. The bearded man answered, and the fat man followed behind his second brother with a smile.
The two entered the mansion and came to a hall under the guidance of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man.
"Brother Zhao. A silver-haired old man in the hall smiled and bowed his hand, and behind him stood a subordinate.
"The housekeeper has received all my goods, right?" the bearded man sat down casually, while the fat man sat down.
"Received, the goods were received in three batches, and according to the five discounts, it was sixteen thousand eight hundred taels of silver. If I count the whole number, it will be seventeen thousand taels. The silver-haired old man smiled and said, "Brother Zhao is satisfied?"
The bearded man nodded slightly: "Those are ordinary goods, and I still have a few heavy goods here." ”
"Please. The silver-haired old man's eyes lit up.
"The first piece is a jade horse. The bearded man took out a wooden box from his arms, and after the wooden box was opened, inside was a warm jade horse lying flat, the carved jade horse was slightly larger than the palm of his hand, white and warm, but this white jade horse, the surface was peculiar and faintly had a red halo.
"It is an ornament carved from the best mutton fat jade, and it should be the beloved thing of a god and demon, it may be placed on the desk of the god and demon, and after a long time of getting along, the breath of the gods and demons has been integrated into it. The silver-haired old man nodded slightly, "It doesn't help much in cultivation, but it's a rare thing." I can give you five thousand taels of silver. ”
"Five thousand five hundred taels. The bearded man said.
"Okay, just listen to Brother Zhao, five thousand five hundred taels. The silver-haired old man laughed.
Then came the second, third, and fourth treasures, adding up to a total of 20,000 taels of silver, all of which were rare.
"This is the last one, and it's a real treasure. The bearded man said earnestly, and as he took off his coat and tossed it from his clothes before unbuttoning the inner cord and taking out something mysterious that was heavily wrapped in cotton.
The silver-haired old man looked closely.
The bearded man opened the cotton cloth, and suddenly a strong domineering aura permeated.
"Divine and demonic breath, is it the inheritance of gods and demons?" The silver-haired old man had some guesses, but when he saw the items after the cotton cloth was opened, he frowned, "It's so small, why don't you even have words?"
This is a broken piece of black iron, the black iron piece is only the size of a palm, you must know that even if it is an ordinary page of god and demon inheritance, it has a normal paper size.
"What is this?" asked the silver-haired old man.
"I don't know. ”
The bearded man said, "This black iron piece has no words on the surface, no tricks. At the same time, it is also broken. But...... The aura of gods and demons it exudes is extremely domineering. It is much stronger than the ordinary remnants of the Divine and Demon Inheritance. ”
"Perhaps, it's a small fragment of the gods and demons' weapons. The silver-haired old man smiled, "I'm willing to pay three thousand taels." ”
"It can't be a weapon. The bearded man shook his head, "It's flat, like a scrap of paper." I can't think of any weapon with such fragments. ”
"Can you try to accept the inheritance?" asked the silver-haired old man.
The inheritance of gods and demons can be immersed in it and see that there are gods and demons practicing tricks.
That's the inheritance of artistic conception.
Like the fragment of the god and demon sword technique given by the three elders of Meng Chuande, it is able to accept the inheritance of artistic conception.
"No, you can't. The bearded man shook his head, "Several people in our village have tried to avoid leakage, but they can't sense it." ”
"Then this is not a god and demon inheritance. The silver-haired old man smiled, "Although the aura of gods and demons is extremely strong, but an item that has no use, even if it is related to gods and demons, I can only give out five thousand taels at most." ”
"One hundred thousand taels of silver. The bearded man said, "Not a single copper plate is missing." ”
"One hundred thousand taels?" the silver-haired old man glared, "The real god and demon inheritance fragment, the market price of a fragment is more than one hundred thousand taels. But you can't accept the inheritance at all, and you don't even know what it is. For such a high price?"
"First, this black iron piece has paid a lot of price for our 'Blood Cloud Thieves'. Second, it is extremely powerful with its divine and demonic aura. It must be extraordinary. The bearded man said, "One hundred thousand taels was set by my eldest brother." If you want, you will get a hundred thousand taels. ”
"You wait here, I'll ask my master. The silver-haired old man said and nodded to his men beside him.
"Good. "Both the bearded man and the fat man waited patiently.
Soon.
An elegant man walked over.
"Brother Zhao. The elegant man smiled and nodded, while looking at the black iron piece, hesitated, "Can I get started?"
"Yes. The bearded man nodded.
The elegant man gently stroked the black iron piece after getting started, looked at it for a long time, and said: "It is true that the aura of gods and demons is extremely strong, but it is likely to be a fragment of a powerful god and demon's belongings, and it may not be useful at all." I will give up to 20,000 taels of silver to gamble. ”
"I said, 100,000 taels, no less. The bearded man said.
"Then it can't be helped. The elegant man shook his head slightly.
"Okay. ”
The bearded man smiled and nodded, "We will stay in Dongning Mansion for a few days, if you change your mind, you can come back to us." You know exactly where to find us. ”
"Good. The elegant man nodded.
"This is the 38,000 taels of silver ticket that I said before. The silver-haired old man put a stack of silver tickets there, and the bearded man took it and looked through it, all of which were worth one thousand taels, a full thirty-eight.
"Let's go, we don't have to send it. The bearded man left directly with the fat man.
The elegant man watched them leave, and then frowned and said, "Steward, you hurry up and draw the black iron piece just now, and you want to draw it exactly the same." After the painting was finished, we went to see the hall master. ”
"Yes. The silver-haired old man replied respectfully.
"Hall Master, they might be able to make out what kind of treasure this is. The elegant man pondered.
