Chapter 48: A Hundred Puzzles
Huang Jian smiled heartily: "Little brother heals my hand, and I want to pass on this King Kong incorruptible heart, even if I have ten lives, it is not enough to repay such a kindness, whether it is a treasure knife or a hundred treasure knives, I will hand over all my iron-striking career in the second half of my life to my little brother!"
Fang Ling smiled slightly, and then began to teach him the Vajra Heart Method. Fang Ling's comprehension is extraordinary, after hearing this vajra heart method, he has a preliminary understanding of the method of cultivation, this vajra heart method is the same as other martial arts, it starts from the training of the body, then the practice of qi, and finally the unity of qi.
However, the method of practicing the body of the Vajra Mind is also different from other martial arts methods, which emphasizes the tempering of the physical body, and the best way to use is to stand under the waterfall, and the waterfall will continue to impact the body, and then cooperate with the heart method, day after day of cultivation.
And in order not to affect the treatment of his arm, Fang Ling just taught him the mental method first, let him be familiar with these in his heart, and then start cultivating after arriving in Shicheng.
Although Huang Jian is a blacksmith, he is also very good at remembering "sex", and he memorizes it while listening, and he will be familiar with it after a while.
After passing on half of the Vajra Mind Method, Fang Ling began to refine Pei Yuan Dan, refining this crude pill 'medicine' was already familiar to him, it only took a pillar of incense time to clean up the 'medicine' materials, and it took an hour to refine it, and after refining a pill 'medicine', he handed it to Xiao Xue to take first.
Then he began to refine the other two, one for himself and one for Huang Jian.
Fang Ling knew very well that Huang Jian was of great significance to him, and if he wanted to unify the Chu State in the future, the army was indispensable, and the weapons of the armed army were definitely the top priority.
If Huang Jian refines a weapon that is better than Qingshui Pass and equips the whole army, then the power of the entire army will be raised by a notch.
Therefore, Huang Jian is also the object he must cultivate, the healing arm, the Vajra Heart Method, plus this Pei Yuan Dan, will create a strongest blacksmith!
At the same time, Fang Ling also found that this alchemy was actually a kind of cultivation process, every time the fire was lit, the sun fire energy and moon ice energy in the body were stimulated to varying degrees, and it took four hours for the three pills to swim in the body, and after the refining, instead of the slightest feeling of exhaustion, there was a feeling of vitality.
Compared to Fang Ling's progress in a thousand days, Xiao Xue's progress can only be described as slow, and she even occasionally had the idea of whether to let Fang Ling refine a better pill 'medicine', but this thought was immediately extinguished, and Fang Ling's understanding of 'sex' and remembering 'sex' was just afraid that she would give away the 'medicine' prescription.
Moreover, seeing that he actually made Huang Jian's waste hand "color" in a short period of time, he was even more vigilant against this guy, and he didn't dare to "reveal" the "medicine" prescription.
The next day, the three continued on their way and began to head to Zou County.
Zou County is 100 miles away from Qingshui Pass, located on the bustling commercial artery, although there is no production of materials here, but because of convenient transportation, it has become one of the important trade distribution centers near Qingshui Pass, and there are many business travelers coming and going.
However, when the three of them came to the outside of the city, they suddenly found that something was wrong, not for anything else, just because there were portraits of the three of them posted on the city gate!
The portrait of Huang Jian is a bearded man with a mole on his eyebrows, although the painting is not very good, but the characteristics are obvious.
Fang Ling painted a young man in white, and the thin line outline is quite handsome, only Xiao Xue has an outline, and only a few words are written below, and the country is "color" and fragrant.
Fang Ling couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and even speculated that this portrait was from Wu Tianbao's hand, because among the people who had seen him, except for the strong man who was the owner of the post station, only Wu Tianbao might also paint.
And the crimes of the three are also exaggerated, Huang Jian is the murderer who killed a family in Lixian, and the two are accomplices.
The three of them hurriedly retreated to the side, and Huang Jian hurriedly said: "Little brother, what should I do now, I didn't expect Wu Tianbao to make such a poisonous move." ”
Fang Ling smiled lightly: "You just shave your beard, and then put the Orion hat low and cover your brows, so that it will be inconspicuous." Then we'll go in separately and it shouldn't be a problem. ”
Huang Jian praised the good idea, and hurriedly picked up a woodcutter and shaved his beard on the side.
Fang Ling looked at Xiao Xue at this time and said: "Only Miss Xiao, you really can't hide it, everyone can see that you are the national 'color' Tianxiang." ”
There is obviously a bit of praise in these words, if other people praise them like this, Xiao Xue can't take it seriously, but when this annoying person says this, Xiao Xue can't help but feel a little proud, and says: "Then what do you want to do, make me ugly? Or do you want to dress up as a man?"
Fang Ling's eyes glanced inadvertently at her bulging chest, and said with a wicked smile: "That's a good idea, but the face can hide people, but this figure can't be hidden." ”
Xiao Xue didn't pay attention to his gaze, she couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, blocking her chest with one hand, and said viciously: "If you dare to 'mess' again, I will gouge out your eyeballs!"
Fang Ling snorted, didn't take her threat at ease, and said with a smile: "It's too obvious during the day, let's go into the city at night, so that the children will be more like men." ”
So, when the lights came on, the three of them entered the city in two batches.
Huang Jian pressed the animal skin hat, the beard on his face was gone, and the entry into the city was very smooth, as for Fang Ling and Xiao Xue, the two young men went in, but there was no interrogation.
After all, there are more scholars these days, and there are a bunch of scholars everywhere.
After entering the city, the three of them found a small inn to live in, and the horses were handed over to the shopkeeper to take care of.
Since separating from his mother, two days have passed, and there are still three days left to meet in Pingtan Pass, although the plan is thorough, but Fang Ling still can't help but be his mother, and his hatred for Queen Song is even stronger.
Even if it is difficult in the main hall, he even gave Ma Kai an assassination order, which shows that he is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, how can such a person be worthy of being a queen?
What's even more ridiculous is that his father is still in the dark, he doesn't know that there is such a thing, he doesn't want to judge this person who has no feelings at all, but is in fact a father, because he can't choose who becomes his father, the only thing he can do is to choose his own life path.
One day, I will let this father know that Queen Song is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the innocent mother has been in the Ice Palace for sixteen years, I don't know what kind of expression this man standing at the top of the royal power will have at that time?
In order to avoid his identity being revealed, Fang Ling instructed Xiao Er to bring the meal to Xiao Xue's room, while he himself went downstairs to eat.
Although the prosperity of Zou County is not as good as that of the Imperial City, it is also very good as a county, even if this is a small inn, the first floor is also overcrowded, and there are many people who live in the top of the store.
The reason why Fang Ling went downstairs to eat was not for no reason, just to listen to some news, which was also a habit developed in the palace.
In the palace, intelligence is equal to life, which father-in-law was rewarded by the mother-in-law, which father-in-law offended which mother-in-law, which guard accidentally made a mistake and was punished by the emperor, which guard made meritorious service, all this information is a compulsory course for people in the palace, otherwise once you vote for the wrong backer, it is equivalent to putting your neck on the blade.
And the source of intelligence is the news, especially the after-dinner chat, many people can't hold back the chatterbox and leak some secrets.
He Bao and his entourage rode war horses, dressed as soldiers, and should be very conspicuous on the official road, and Zou County is the distribution center of the merchants, all kinds of news will also spread here, if you can get He Bao's news here, it is also convenient to grasp their movements.
Fang Ling ordered two stacks of side dishes, a plate of braised beef, and when he was waiting for the dishes to be served, he heard a group of people sitting next to him chatting.
One of the young men dressed as a hero scarf and a martial artist said with great interest: "Have you heard, the day before yesterday in the Imperial City Palace, His Royal Highness the Great Prince was a blockbuster!"
A man of the same age next to him nodded and said, "Yes, I only found out the day before yesterday that it turns out that our Chu Emperor has more than one son, and one son has been staying in the cold palace." ”
The young martial artist smiled: "Isn't it? But His Royal Highness the Great Prince is really not covered, His Majesty has put up a hundred problems in order to test him!"
"A hundred puzzles? Wow!" the people around were also attracted to the area, and they opened their mouths wide one by one.
Fang Ling laughed dumbly when he heard this, how could a dozen questions become a hundred questions here, this is really a bit exaggerated.
The young martial artist enjoyed everyone's gaze and said seriously: "This hundred problems are all carefully selected by His Majesty, and they have been prepared for seven days and seven nights, all of which are headaches that the court has not been able to manage in recent years, Your Majesty will ask the eldest prince these hundred questions in turn, guess what?"
"How many answers did the eldest prince get right?" said a young man who couldn't help but be curious.
The young martial artist slapped his thigh and said, "Do you need to say this? Of course, all the hundred things have been solved!"
"Wow!" everyone was surprised.
The young martial artist said again: "The Great Prince will not stop there, after answering a hundred difficult questions, His Majesty has sent another hundred guards of the forbidden army to test the Great Prince's martial arts. ”
Fang Ling was a little dizzy when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at the young man more, this young man was only in his 20s, he was very dignified, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, just looking at his face was quite decent.
But he's too good at, a dozen questions become a hundred, a guard actually became a hundred, and the boast of the bull does not change the "color", as if he has seen it with his own eyes, the people in the inn are also hearsay about the affairs of the imperial city, and they don't know much, and when they see a person who knows the roots, they all listen to it very well, and keep asking about what is going to happen next.
