Chapter 1: The Gathering of Storms (I)
"What are the ones you just used?"
“…… Spells. ”
Hearing such a natural and doubtful answer, Yun Chongbo suddenly felt that he had no strength.
(Old man Zhang, who are the people who taught him!) )
The battle between Ying Peng and Xue Zhongwei can be called twists and turns, especially in the end, when Xue Zhongwei, who couldn't bear it, took out the mad sword Canglong, even Yun Chongbo felt that the victory was decided.
However, at that time, Ying Peng shouted.
“…… Close the door and let the dogs go! ”
It was the strangest prayer technique that Yun Chongbo had ever seen: there was no description or restraint of the summoned object, no honorific title or order, just a simple shout, and suddenly more than a dozen vicious dogs with fat cheeks and salivating at the corners of their mouths appeared out of thin air, and before Xue Zhongwei could react, he was already pounced on by them and fell to the ground!
"Seventeen ...... in total"
Yun Chongbo groaned, "The other party has exactly seventeen people in total. So, the effect of your summoning technique is determined by the number of opponents? ”
"yes."
Yun Chongbo unconsciously gasped, this was really the most suitable spell for battle he had ever seen, if in front of the Ten Thousand Armies Array, the warlock of his own army suddenly came to such a hand......
"No, no, wait, your spells have a limit, right?"
Thinking back to the battle situation, Yun Chongbo already had a certain number in his heart.
"The other party has to be all within a certain range, right?"
"That's right."
Ying Peng said that the power of this spell is actually not as great as it seems: the power of a single hound is very small, and the range of the spell is difficult to increase.
"That's what happened when he brought a lot of retinues who stood within the confines of the battlefield, but they didn't participate in the battle. This trick is fully powerful. ”
Thinking about it, just now Ying Peng concentrated all the hounds to protrude his face before he put Xue Zhongwei on the ground, and if those entourages were not human flesh backgrounds but warriors with swords and swords, then Ying Peng would not have been able to wait for this raid to succeed, and he would have already been beaten and put on the ground.
"But that's not the point!"
Scratching his head, Yun Chongbo said angrily: "The point is why did you learn these bunch of spells? You are Old Man Zhang's apprentice, and your master is one of the biggest figures in the world...... Now you can get rid of even one of them, okay! ”
"Master, you say?"
Puzzled, his eyes widened, and Ying Peng said that Zhang Yuankong had not taught himself any spells, and martial arts were the same.
“…… I followed Master just to learn from him the truth of being a human being. ”
"What did you say?!"
~~~~~~~~
Among the disciples around Zhang Yuankong, Ying Peng can be said to be an absolute outlier, from the beginning, he was not a member of the East China Sea Fangshi.
"I'm the son of a shipowner."
has had a very privileged life since he was a child, and he has also shown a talent for intelligence and strong memory, but Ying Peng has no intention of taking the imperial examination.
Stargazing, geodesy, arithmetic, alchemy...... Ying Peng's favorite is all this strange trick, but fortunately, his family has neither lack of wealth nor heirs, and it doesn't matter if the tolerant father finally decides to indulge this young son.
Wu Rong's special environment made Ying Peng see not only the study of a hundred schools, but also the study of a hundred countries, and he knew it well, and unconsciously, he had become a famous prodigy in the left: although he could not compose poems or write articles, he could accurately calculate the distance and interest, judge whether there would be a storm at sea, and be able to prepare all kinds of medicines, Wu Rong, who was far more respected than the "landlord" in the "businessman", was enough to win honor for himself and his family.
"Later, something happened to my family."
…… There is no word for Jia Kele, and there is no tomb for Jia Keduo. The boat touches the wind and waves, and it goes into the belly of the fish. The farmer is harder, so he is envious!
Ying Peng's family was just the kind of maritime merchant who had just begun to rise, and a few successive accidents were enough to deal a heavy blow to it, not to mention, one of the shipwrecks also swallowed up their head of the family.
Obviously, this can't be a pleasant memory, but when Ying Peng tells about the past, he is still as calm as the past, which makes people feel that he is telling "someone else's story".
"Huh? yes, I think it's a sad thing......"
But he couldn't be sad, not only now, even back then, in the process of the collapse of the family, Ying Peng just looked around in surprise, not crying, and not sad.
"Then, Master came."
In terms of the normal situation when the family was broken, Ying Peng's performance was obviously very special, and the saying that "the Ying family had a boy without conscience" quickly spread, and even reached Zhang Yuankong's ears.
"As a result, Master was very disappointed."
originally thought that he would pick up a rare piece of strange material: because, judging from the legend, Ying Peng seems to have stepped into the realm of the so-called "Taishang forgetfulness" of Taoism by nature, but after meeting, Zhang Yuankong found that Ying Peng had just put all his energy into his love for academics, so that he couldn't share his feelings for other things.
“…… After all, it's fate. ”
still took Ying Peng away and included him as his closed disciple, Zhang Yuankong collected all kinds of books and classics for him, but refused to teach him any Taoist methods.
"Your way, you should find it yourself, what you have learned from the old way, you are not suitable, but you have some experience in dealing with the world, we can talk about it."
In this way, a teacher and an apprentice began a long run-in in this strange way: under Zhang Yuankong's teaching, although Ying Peng still couldn't be interested in foreign affairs, he finally learned how to communicate with others like an adult, and learned how to pretend to blend in with the surrounding environment when he didn't want to at all. And in the process, he also gradually improved his strength due to the study of various exotic studies, although he was not able to inherit the techniques of the Eastern Sea monks, but he learned a lot of miscellaneous things, and finally fused into his own protection of the Seven Yao Arts.
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of variations of this set of things, just now I only used the Qiyao Hu Transformation, if I use the Qiyao Guishuang Transformation or the Qiyao Body Poison Transformation, although please still use the power of Yaoxing, but it is a completely different set of other things. As to why this is so, Master has always been very interested! ”
"Wait, let's not talk about this yet."
Frowning, Yun Chongbo felt that in Ying Peng's self-description just now, there seemed to be some places that were too arrogant.
"You said you learned to be a man?"
I don't agree with this at all, at least, judging from his performance not long ago, Yun Chongbo thinks that it is a miracle that Ying Peng can survive peacefully after leaving the East China Sea.
"But I'm good enough to fight."
Looking at Yun Chongbo strangely, Ying Peng asked him, didn't Yun Chongbo see his performance just now?
"Master said, if I put it on the rivers and lakes now, at least I won't lose the face of the East China Sea Fangshi, ordinary second-class characters, even if I can't beat them, I can still run away, and if I can't run away, I can still raise his face."
With a confused look, Ying Peng thought for a while and asked Yun Chongbo, is it that Zhang Yuankong has been in the East China Sea for too long and can't figure out the current situation? Is his signboard of "Closed Disciple of the East China Sea Flying Immortals" not as easy to use as Zhang Yuankong boasted?
"That's not the point!"
With a headache, Yun Chongbo pressed his temples, but finally figured out why Ying Peng ran out to set up a beam for himself just now.
(What comes out to help the punch...... This guy just hasn't been able to understand what it means to be "obedient and listen to the sound, and talk half"! )
But thinking about it again, I don't think it's right, judging from Ying Peng's ability in astronomy and arithmetic, how can he be a dull person?
(So, in the end, it was Old Man Zhang who saw it right, this guy ...... He simply put all his energy into these miscellaneous studies, so he didn't bother to think about anything else! )
As soon as he thought of this, Yun Chongbo looked at Ying Peng again, and immediately felt that face was mocking: it was full of "It's so hard to lower our family's realm to have such a low-level communication with you uneducated fools!" "Thoughts!
"Anyway, this matter can be regarded as a past, let's think about it first, how can we get your thing done......"
While the two were talking and leaving, Ying Peng nodded while listening, but suddenly said again: "Immortal, are you really so hated?" ”
"Huh?"
Ying Peng explained that he had not come to Qin Tianjian once or twice, and he was able to walk back safely every time, only today, as soon as he came out, he had a fight.
"This must be staring at you all day long, specially to stop you, otherwise it is such a coincidence, the capital is so big, and it bumps into you on the way?"
"Wait...... You're right! ”
Suddenly slapped his thigh, Yun Chong suddenly reacted: I will come to Qin Tianjian this morning, and I didn't even know that I was here yesterday, so how did Xue Zhongwei know that he was blocking the road here this morning?
"That old oil monkey...... He has a problem! ”
