Chapter 40: Assignment
The horses were walking slowly on the official road, and Liang Qiufeng was riding on the horse, his brows were tightly locked, and he fell into deep thought: This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Bo, the young master of the Zhou family, will worship in the Sword Mansion as an inner disciple, and now the Mid-Autumn Festival is not far away, so you have to prepare well......
Because of the death of the old deacon, because of the previous pursuit, the two sides have long been incompatible, and sooner or later they will have to make a decision.
"Let him come, then!"
I thought that I was poor and white at the beginning, and I was not afraid of dying, but now that I am an outer disciple, what is there to fear about mastering the martial arts?
In the blink of an eye, Liang Qiufeng put aside all the worries in his heart: what he didn't say, as long as he improves his cultivation, all the difficulties will be solved!
It was the night, and I stayed at the inn in the small town I passed through. The night pranayama operation is small and weekly, and suddenly it is through, and the cultivation is a breakthrough, reaching the third stage of strength.
This breakthrough came naturally.
On the one hand, it is due to the improvement of the exercise "Ziyang Gong", and on the other hand, it is due to the perception after the fierce battle.
In fact, martial arts cultivation, in the strength stage, especially the upgrade of the previous stage is not difficult, with good exercises, spiritual rice supplementation, and enough cultivation time to guarantee, it is not surprising that people with good qualifications can be promoted to three levels in a row within half a year.
The third stage of the strength has finally met the hard conditions for the entry of the outer disciples.
Liang Qiufeng was immersed in joy, and Xiao Zhou Tian ran in circles, and finally could run a total of thirty times, three more than the average martial artist with three stages.
If you run it three more times, there will be three more wisps of true qi that the dantian can condense.
He couldn't wait to advance to the airway stage as soon as possible, look inward, and see what was so magical about his dantian that it was different.
Well, you have to stutter the food, and the more you go to the back of the cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and I don't know how many people are stuck in the level of the ninth stage of the strength path, and they can't rush to the qi path stage for a lifetime, and finally end up depressed.
Chongqidao, not only rush in, but also pay attention to time, and enter after the age of fifty, it is too late.
Nothing happened all night, got up early the next day, ate early, and continued the journey.
After resting for the night, Liang Qiufeng was refreshed, quickly whipped up, and returned to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain at noon.
The horses could not be ridden up the mountain, so they first went to Zhongnan Town to find a stable to foster care. met an aunt who died on the street, and there was a fat mother-in-law like a pig beside him, who must have been an aunt who was dying.
When the two saw Liang Qiufeng, they immediately saw a cat like a mouse, and hid in the store in a panic.
Liang Qiufeng didn't have time to pay attention, strode up the mountain, and came to the delivery task.
The old man in charge of registration was deeply impressed by Liang Qiufeng, and when he saw that he was injured in the shoulder, he pouted and said, "Is the task not going well, and you want to come back and cancel it?"
The disciples of the Sword Mansion can also cancel the re-election if they really can't complete the task. However, this cancellation will require a handling fee.
Liang Qiufeng directly presented the heads of the two thieves.
After verifying the truth, the old man was very surprised: "Good guy, you have completed the task." β
Liang Qiufeng smiled indifferently: "It's just luck." β
Doing these Sword Mansion tasks is based on the nature of obligation, mainly to complete the quota, and naturally there will be no rewards or anything like that. However, the money and loot obtained during the mission belong to the individual.
Killing Pinggang Mountain, Liang Qiufeng gained a good harvest, in addition to the 10,000 taels of silver tickets given to Zhang Dexiang, there were more than 20,000 silver tickets. As for the weapons used by the other party, they were only made of iron, and they were of little value, so they didn't bother to pick them up.
In addition, more importantly, after the baptism of blood, the actual combat experience is of great benefit.
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he found that Liang Qiufeng's cultivation had made a breakthrough, and he was even more shocked in his heart, and said, "Senior Brother Liang, there is just a designated task here, you can take it back and do it." β
There are designated and self-selected Sword Mansion missions. Overall, the two will be divided into a certain proportion.
Each disciple has to complete a part of the assigned tasks every year, which is a dead rule and cannot be changed.
"Okay, what's the mission?"
Liang Qiufeng asked.
"Hehe, it's very easy, it's to patrol Northridge for seven days. β
The mountain is huge and subdivided into many areas according to the direction, and the North Ridge is located in the north.
This is a very common guard mission.
Liang Qiufeng said: "Okay." β
After asking about the procedures for the new mission, he returned to the courtyard of the outer house.
"Squeak!"
Before the person pushed the door, an agile figure had already rushed into his arms, rubbing Liang Qiufeng's chest with his furry little head, which was a small monkey sample. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I actually learned to be coquettish.
Soon, the premature with a face full of joy also came out.
"Little brother, are you injured?"
Xiao Xiao immediately noticed the bandaging strip on Liang Qiufeng's shoulder.
Liang Qiufeng said indifferently: "It's okay." β
In the life of a warrior, it is not uncommon for him to be injured in fierce fights, but he gritted his teeth and did not say anything.
During lunch, Liang Qiufeng briefly recounted his experience, and finally said about Zhou Bo's going to the mountain to be an inner disciple.
"yes, I see. β
The reaction was far calmer than expected, but in her heart, it was by no means like this. This can be felt from the fact that as soon as he had eaten a full meal, he immediately went out to the yard to practice diligently.
She must really want to improve her cultivation immediately, have the strength to deal with Zhou Bo, and take revenge.
Helplessly, the cultivation talent of the unborn is not outstanding......
Liang Qiufeng sighed silently, and secretly swore in his heart: If he has the opportunity, he must seek justice for the old deacon and the young!
The next morning, he came to the sword arena in advance to listen to the sound of the sword practice bell, and then when he finished practicing the sword, he found Zhang Jiangshan and handed him a letter written by Zhang Dexiang.
Zhang Jiangshan is just nineteen this year, and he is already a cultivator of the seventh stage of the Strength Dao, and he is among the top in the ranks of the new generation of disciples of the Sword Mansion. He was mediocre in appearance, chubby and a little short, naΓ―ve, peaceful and approachable, and said with a smile after reading the letter: "Thank you Senior Brother Liang for your help." β
Although Liang Qiufeng hadn't read the letter, he roughly knew what to write: "Senior Brother Zhang is polite. β
After some gossip, the two said goodbye.
Zhang Jiangshan watched Liang Qiufeng leave, and muttered in his mouth: "The Zhou family has torn their faces, presumably the battle in Zhongnan City has become white-hot now." β
Counting on the fingers, there is only a little more than a year left before the next city lord competition, and there is a turbulent undercurrent.
By the way, Zhou Bo should also come to Jianfu to report on the Mid-Autumn Festival this year......
The three major families of Zhongnan City, each generation will have outstanding children worship in Zhongnan Sword Mansion to learn swords, and for the control of Zhongnan City, although the Sword Mansion does not directly intervene, but every year the three major families will pay a lot of materials to the mountain.
"Uncle Zhang said in his letter that this Senior Brother Liang is extremely brave, and the fast sword of the Yellow Rank is a great achievement, and even Zhou Yao was killed by him, which is really good, no wonder he can be favored by Elder Xiao. β
Zhang Jiangshan couldn't help but think of the competition between Gu Huichuan and Liang Qiufeng a few days ago, in comparison, Gu Huichuan was like a child who had just learned to hold a sword.
"It's a pity that Senior Brother Liang's talent was discovered too late. β
After Zhang Dexiang's letter introduction, Zhang Jiangshan had a good impression of Liang Qiufeng, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him at this time.
