Chapter 010: Martial Arts World
After the meal, arranged by Zhao Liu personally, Pang Xiaodao lived in the wing room behind Huashanju, standing by the balcony guardrail in the first half of the night, admiring the lights of thousands of homes below, and his heart was surging.
The lights of the ten thousand homes below this are the world where more than ninety percent of the commoners and low-level martial cultivators serve less than one percent of the wealthy families.
Among the Venerable Masters who are less than one percent, the dynasty is the foundation, and the martial arts are the way.
Many martial cultivators have condensed into groups ranging from large sectarian families to small mercenary groups and other loosely organized groups, and the Seven Star Sect is undoubtedly the existence of the top of the pyramid.
Seven Star Sect!
Looking at the countless crowds of people carrying lanterns and taking their children on a night tour, Pang Xiaodao sighed from afar, knowing that maybe this was his last leisurely night, starting tomorrow, for a long time in the future, he would definitely spend it in hard cultivation.
While playing with Lan Bao, while thinking about the pros and cons of his own behavior in the evening, he carefully scrutinized, slowly considered, many things are double-edged swords, he has no backing, he can't tolerate a fatal mistake, and everything must be done according to the situation.
In the second half of the night, he fell asleep, dreaming that he had gone up to the nine heavens to catch the moon, and down to the four seas to catch turtles, turning clouds and rain, and being so powerful that he was in a mess.
The next day, he got up early in the morning, took the mask handed over by a young man who was already waiting outside the door, put it on his face casually, settled the house money, and left Huashanju.
It is a plain half-face mask that covers most of the face from the upper lip to the eyebrows, making it unobtrusive.
The young man is a sergeant of the Black Armor Army and a close confidant of Zhao Liu, so he should have been specially instructed in advance, and his speech and demeanor are extremely respectful.
Deliberately detoured to visit the long-admired morning market, Pang Xiaodao seemed to be a childish slanderous young man, he bought what he saw to eat, from pancakes to cured chicken legs, from small rare birds to large pieces of wild beast meat, all the way to feast, until the space ring was stuffed with many large bags of pastries and dried fruits, and then he walked to the Nancheng military camp without hurry.
The treatment of the soldiers of the Seven Star Kingdom is excellent, and those who join the Black Armor Army must have a residence in the city, and the ten commanders and above will be given fields, tenants, and slaves, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing, and the higher the rank, the more generous the treatment, so as to motivate the Black Armor Army soldiers to move forward, and then improve the national strength.
This is also the reason why Pang Xiaodao dreamed of opening thirty tricks when he was sixteen years old, enlisted in the Black Armor Army, and took his grandmother into the city to enjoy happiness.
It's just that time has passed, and if he has the opportunity, he doesn't mind poking a few big holes in the sky of the Seven Star Country, and also letting the people in power experience the pain of having their homes broken and losing their loved ones.
In a square courtyard not far from the residential area of the Black Armor Army, Zhao Liu commanded the servants to clean up, carry brand-new tables, chairs, bedding and other things, no matter how big or small, and did it himself, and even many of his cronies who were the ten commanders were also sent into battle.
Therefore, as soon as Pang Xiaodao came, he saw many people coming in and out, and they were in full swing.
Seeing the arrival of the main master, Zhao Liu hurriedly greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Time is too tight, Xiao Liu only has time to find this ordinary house, I don't know if you can settle brother? If not, Xiao Liu will turn around and change a good courtyard for you." ”
Since last night, after Pang Xiaodao opened six tricks in a row, he no longer dared to call himself a big brother, and he called himself a little six, Pang Xiaodao was stubborn, but he followed him.
"Brother Zhao is polite, the younger brother just wants to find a quiet place to live, the martial artists are not so particular, and it is very good here. ”
Pang Xiaodao politely replied and walked inside, looking around.
This is a boxy courtyard, the open space in the courtyard occupies more than seventy percent of the area, sparsely scattered, there is no way to carry a few ordinary pines and cypresses, the original owner in order to show its elegance, and arranged a circular rockery in the center of the courtyard, but makes the courtyard appear particularly crowded and narrow.
This taste is really difficult to compliment, I think it should be a mansion purchased by a powerful person in the army after he has spare money, and only a soldier who is rough by nature and has no ink on his chest can do such an unobtrusive thing.
The centurion of the Black Armor Army can already be called a general, even if it is placed in the entire Jincheng Army, he is also a core figure with great power, Zhao Liushang is so low-voiced, the servants and a cadre of cronies dare not slack off at all, and salute one after another.
Walking all the way in, Zhao Liu opened his mouth to confirm Pang Xiaodao's guess, and introduced: "This is the outer residence of a friend in the Little Sixth Army, close to the sergeant's mansion, the young people will never dare to set foot in it, it is better to be quiet, and Xiao Liu will send his brothers on duty around the clock to be on duty, and no one will come to disturb him." ”
"That's the best. Pang Xiaodao was not polite and nodded happily.
When he came to the master bedroom, pushed the door in, and saw the books on the desk, he unconsciously quickened his pace and went to check.
Flipping through the two books at random, and then scanning the names of the rest of the books, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out four ingots and fifty taels of gold like a trick, and stuffed it to Zhao Liudao: "Brother Zhao has a heart, thank you." ”
These books come from the economic history library of the core department of the army, and they are precious collections compiled by the Seven Star Kingdom in the nearly 500 years since its founding and countless manpower and material resources, and they are all priceless to mortals.
Among them, most of the classics are related to martial arts, and there are even core confidential classics that introduce the distribution of the power of the Seven Star Country's sects, but I am afraid that with Zhao Liu's status in the army, many books will have to be used to borrow them, which is not easy.
This is what Pang Xiaodao lacks the most at this stage, before they separated yesterday, he just had the mentality of estimating and trying, and mentioned it ambiguously and casually, but he didn't expect Zhao Liu to do it with great difficulty overnight.
You must know that many of the collections involve the core secrets of the Seven Star Country, and once they flow into the people, the Seven Star Kingdom will definitely investigate and ask for crimes, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
With the gold in hand, Zhao Liu retreated like an electric shock, and politely refused: "These two hundred taels of gold are enough to buy most of this courtyard, everything is just a gesture, how dare Xiao Liu accept it." ”
"The younger brother is just idle and bored, looking for some books to pass the time, but I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so solemn and get such a precious thing. ”
Pang Xiaodao pretended to be light and light, and did not dare to reveal his true thoughts, talent is often innate, the higher his talent, the more he can represent an extraordinary background, creating a sense of mystery of noble birth is also a talisman.
After doing enough tricks, he smiled again: "I think that in order to get these classics, Brother Zhao must have used all his interpersonal relationships and worked hard. Favors must be repaid, and interpersonal relationships also need to be maintained by money, Brother Zhao take it, otherwise the younger brother will be uneasy. ”
"That'...... All right. Zhao Liu hesitantly accepted the gold, put it in the space ring, and said with a smile: "The extra part will be used to reward the brothers who take turns guarding here, they will definitely be grateful to you, brother." By the way, I almost forgot about business. ”
As he spoke, he took out a scroll of silk from the space ring and said, "This is the quenching dragon recipe sent by the Long family, and that person didn't find you in Huashanju, so he sent it straight here." ”
The space ring, which is not too rare an object, can be bought with money, and is a necessary auxiliary prop for martial arts, which is also the reason why Pang Xiaodao dares to expose the space ring.
Pang Xiaodao took the silk book casually, unfolded it gently, and looked at it carefully.
Quenching the dragon jue, high-grade exercises, from right to left, painted with many strange posture figures, the only commendable thing is that although the characters have a few strokes, they are vivid and vivid.
After all, with Liang Shan's bequest of the spirit-level upper grade body method phantom trace, Pang Xiaodao couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
External practice is called martial arts, internal cultivation and auxiliary cultivation are collectively called exercises, martial arts and exercises are subdivided into primary, intermediate, advanced, extraordinary, spiritual, and holy levels, and each level is divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, a total of eighteen grades.
Of course, there must be a god level above the holy level, but the things of that level are just legends, and no one can touch them.
This quenching dragon technique is only a high-level mid-grade technique, and the difference between the level and the phantom trace step is naturally 108,000 miles.
Seeing that he didn't think so, Zhao Liu kindly reminded: "This is the core technique that the Long family has never passed on, and it is also the highest level exercise in the Enlightenment Realm in Jincheng. ”
"The highest exercise?" Pang Xiaodao hurriedly put away his contempt and asked, "What level of exercise are you cultivating?"
"Elementary grade. Zhao Liu smiled bitterly: "It's also Xiao Liuzi's luck, when he opened the realm, he happened to encounter a huge but seriously injured second-order desolate beast beast beast ”
People are more popular than people, thinking that at the beginning, for the sake of that primary high-grade exercise, he experienced countless risks, and almost lost his life, but look at the master in front of him, the priceless, immeasurable value of the high-grade middle-grade exercise method was sent to his hands in vain, and he still looked disgusted, it was really hurtful.
"Oh, then I'll go back and practice and see how it goes. Pang Xiaodao pressed the pounding heart and pretended to respond calmly.
Obediently, the primary high-grade exercises are worth a thousand taels of gold, and this high-grade and medium-grade quenching dragon recipe is five levels higher, and how much is it worth?
It was only at this moment that he realized the true value of the Phantom Trace, and understood that if it was exposed, it would definitely lead to death.
"The results are naturally excellent. Zhao Liu couldn't hold back the yearning in his heart, peeked at the quenching dragon trick, and said excitedly: "That is, it is stained with your light, otherwise such a treasure, Xiao Liu will not even have a chance to touch it." ”
Pang Xiaodao pretended to be attentive and deliberately let this guy look at it for a while.
The exercises come from the Long family, and he doesn't have the power to pass them on, but if someone accidentally steals them, it's not too out of line.
He is generous to others and reciprocates the favor.
Waiting for Zhao Liu to consciously retract his gaze and bow deeply with gratitude, Pang Xiaodao put away the exercises, raised his steps and said: "The junior brother still lacks some body refining liquid, if Brother Zhao has time, accompany the younger brother to go out." ”
After being reborn, his perception is not the same as the night, and he asked himself a few times in a hurry, he has almost memorized all the shadow postures of the Quenching Dragon Jue, how much Zhao Liu can remember, and how much he can improve, it depends on his personal creation.
"Okay, not far from here, there is a martial arts shop opened by the Lin family, which specializes in serving sergeants, and the price is extremely fair. Zhao Liuying led the way.
