18: Famous martial arts
From the time he met Mrs. Xia in the snow, Cheng Li successively fought with enemies such as the Hungry Tiger Gang Horse Bandits, the Black and White Impermanent Brothers of the Yin Si Ghost Mansion, the owner of the Xiuchun Building, Baili Duguan, and the swordsmen of the Kuaidao Hall. Each time, you use your firearms to blow up the enemy.
After the firearm is used, it must be carefully maintained from time to time to prolong its service life. Especially now that Cheng Li is in a foreign land and has lost his logistical support. If the gun at hand is used up, there is one missing, and there is no place to replenish it. So pay more attention to this.
When Cheng Li opened the space for the shoulder tattoo, he took out a complete set of maintenance tools from it, disassembled the firearms around him and cleaned them carefully, and then carefully wiped them with gun oil. The degree of seriousness and concentration is even more than that of "Crossing the Tribulation".
When you concentrate on one thing, it's easy to lose sight of the passage of time. After a long time, Cheng Li finally wiped the last part and reassembled it. Then the magazines filled with bullets were loaded and the guns were ready to be fired, and they were all retracted into space.
"Oh oh oh oh ~ oh oh ~ ~ "
The loud sound of a rooster crowing suddenly came from outside the window. Cheng Li was stunned, stood up and walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to push the window open. A fresh aroma of plants and trees immediately hit the face under the cold wind. The morning sun was shining brightly from the clouds, and the whole room was bright.
It turned out that before I knew it, a whole night had passed.
Hearing the movement in the room, the maid outside the door hurriedly knocked on the door to say hello. Not long after, towels, hot water, toothbrushes, salt, and other toiletries were delivered. In addition, a whole set of new clothes was sent for Cheng Li to replace.
After dressing and washing, the maid sent breakfast again. They are a big bowl of hot porridge, a big bowl of salted tofu brain, a large plate of roasted cold noodles, and a plate of pickles. Although there are only four types, each of them is staggeringly large. If it's a southerner who eats breakfast, maybe seven or eight people will have enough to eat.
Cheng Li is handsome, and his figure is at least 109,000 miles away from the adjective "burly". Judging from the aesthetics of a man outside the Guan, he can be described as "weak". So even the maid who served him didn't think that Cheng Li would be able to finish eating these things at all, and they all felt that these four big plates would be placed on the table at most, and then they would definitely have to be withdrawn.
But the truth was completely unexpected. Cheng Li sat down and picked up the chopsticks, and then never stopped. Although I didn't eat quickly, the whole four plates were eaten early, and in the end they were all swept away. After Cheng Li pushed away the chair and stood up, his figure didn't even look the slightest change, and he didn't know where he ate so much food.
The physical fitness of the robbers far surpasses ordinary people. This of course also includes digestion. All the nutrients in the food will be completely absorbed, leaving only a very small part of the residue. Usually these residues will penetrate into the sweat and be excreted from the body. So the robbers rarely need to go to the bathroom.
No sooner had the maids removed the empty plates than footsteps sounded outside the room. Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman walked into the room one after another.
That man is the fifth elder of the Xia family, and Xia is not sick. The women wore a dark color suit. He carried a sword scabbard with a turquoise scabbard on his waist, and the hilt was also turquoise, and the whole body was like an emerald gorgeous sword. He is tall and tall, his appearance is bright, and his eyebrows fly obliquely into his sideburns.
Xia Wuxian smiled all over his face, hugged his fists and said, "Good morning, Brother Cheng." How was your rest last night?"
If you have nothing to do, you will have something to ask for. Cheng Li frowned secretly, knowing that trouble was coming. He nodded and said lightly: "It's okay." ”
Although the other party's attitude was cold, Xia Wuxian didn't think it was angry at all. He smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, I didn't have any other meaning to come here today, so I made a special trip to thank Brother Cheng."
Don't say I don't know, my sister-in-law said that we only knew. It turned out that the sister-in-law went out this time, and it was a life of nine deaths. If there is no Brother Cheng, maybe he won't be able to come back. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Brother Cheng saved my sister-in-law, just like saving my mother. Xia Lao Wu thanked me here. ”
While speaking, Xia Wuxi tidied up the clothes on his body, then faced Cheng Li, leaned over ninety degrees, and bowed his hands to the ground.
The woman next to her also bent down to salute. It's just that when she finished saluting and stood up straight again, she found that Cheng Li was sitting still like this, and calmly accepted the big gift from the two of them. Between the woman's eyebrows, she couldn't help but have three more points of frost.
Xia Wuxian saw that the atmosphere seemed to be a little bad, so he hurriedly came out to play a round. smiled: "Brother Cheng, I'll introduce you to you." This is my second sister Xia Yuhan. He is a disciple of Taiyue. ”
When the words "Taiyue disciple" came out, Xia Yuhan's eyebrows were obviously filled with a hint of arrogance. But in a blink of an eye, seeing that Cheng Li didn't react at all, and still looked like he was doing nothing, the anger in Xia Yuhan's chest seemed to turn fierce again.
In fact, Cheng Lizhen didn't mean to be lazy. Unfortunately, he was a stranger. As for what this Taiyue disciple came from, he didn't know what he was doing, and naturally it was difficult to react - he couldn't deliberately show a shocked and surprised appearance for the sake of politeness, right? That was not Cheng Li's character, and it was too fake. It's better to do what you want, but to be more comfortable.
Although Xia Wuxian is stubborn, he is still a little bit more or less able to observe his face and look at his face in the officialdom. Seeing Cheng Li's reaction, he immediately knew that he didn't understand what the sword world was. I was a little surprised in my heart. Then cautiously, he opened his mouth tentatively.
"Brother Cheng, that Kuaidao Hall Master Juniper has always been rampant and domineering in Mianzhou City, which is really not a good thing. But under his hands, he really has some hard skills. Brother Cheng was able to easily clean them up, and he must have been from an extraordinary background. I don't know which of the three major sects, the seven major sects, the eight great families, and the ten major gangs is Brother Cheng? Hehe, could it be one of the two holy places of martial arts, the world of swords, or the disciple of the Red Dust Sealing Sword, right?"
Cheng Li said lightly: "I haven't heard of what you said, and it's not either." ”
"Neither?"
Xia Yuhan snorted lightly, and there was a little more contempt and scruples between his eyebrows.
You must know that the Central Plains martial arts are respected by the two holy places of the Sword World and the Red Dust Sealing Knife. Even the Son of Heaven, who sits in Bai Yujing, has to pay tribute to the two holy places. Any disciple in the two holy places can go out of the mountain, and he can also call the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes and enjoy the scenery.
Under the two holy places, there are three major streams. They are Buddhism Longhua Temple, Daomen Zhenwu Palace, and Confucianism Baisha Academy. The successive heads of these three major streams must accept the royal edict.
Even many children of the clan will worship under the three major streams. Compared with the two holy places with a low-key style, the three major sources are more famous among ordinary people.
