Chapter 1: The Mountains and the Sea (I)

In the twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, October twenty-six, Mingzhou, Hualin.

Even from the level of Mingzhou, Hualin is only one of many inconspicuous small cities, with a population of more than 10,000, when the Southern Expedition Zhengyin Pioneer Officer Ying Zhengying Da Sima decided to station Xingyuan here, he couldn't even find a large enough mansion in the city, and in the end, he could only settle in an ancient temple outside the city.

It was late autumn, but the south was hot and humid, the mountains were still half yellow and green, a gust of wind came, the branches and leaves were swaying, and there was a faint smell of fishy smell - after all, this place was remote, although it was close to the city, and the mountains were rampant with wild beasts.

(This rough thing, he might as well just chop the wooden statue and burn the dog meat.) )

I don't know how long the ancient temple has been in the cold, but now it is full of murderous atmosphere: five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the soldiers with serious expressions are holding shiny weapons, forming a meticulous net.

With words in his stomach, Ao Xingxing tried his best to show his most casual expression and walked towards the back of the ancient temple.

(…… Hell, what is this thing? )

Unlike a normal temple, at the rear of the Daxiong Hall is a more "garden-like" area, with living water brought in from a nearby river forming a "gate" shape surrounding a small, already dilapidated three-story building. On the outside of the building, there are huge wheels like waterwheels, which rotate slowly under the washing of the water.

Although he guessed that these waterwheels must be powering the building before entering the building, Ao Xingxing was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes.

There is no partition on the ground floor, but there is a bright pavilion with seven wooden figures in it, holding pipa, drums, gonghou, zheng, cymbals, striking boards and bells, all of which are beautifully dressed and exquisitely carved, lifelike.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't surprise Ao Xingxing, but with the slow rotation of the giant wheel outside the window, the seven wooden figures actually advanced and retreated, and the instruments in their hands couldn't stop playing, playing a simple tune: although it was rigid and stiff, it was actually in tune.

“…… This is the handiwork of the Qinghe Cui family. ”

With a gloomy face, still looking like he was ready to start a fight at any time, Ying Zheng appeared from the staircase and said coldly: "Upstairs, it's more exquisite." ”

followed Yingzheng up to the second floor, but finally saw a bit of the taste of the temple: it was arranged into three Buddhist halls, which were still gorgeous and luxurious, and there were also seven wooden figures, all wearing monk robes and no hair. The southeast corner stands a monk, holds a incense, the southwest corner stands a monk, holds an incense burner, the remaining five monks, is around the Buddha statue slowly into a circle, when the line to the southeast corner, the monk will take a piece of incense to give the wooden monk, when the line to the southwest corner, the monk who holds the furnace burns it with the fire in the furnace, when the line reaches the Buddha, the wooden monk will offer the incense, after the respectful salute, the whole clothes and walk. What is particularly rare is that the whole process is like flowing water, and there is no sluggishness and sluggishness of the people downstairs.

"I said ......"

Ao Xingxing's mouth opened wide, this reaction seemed to make Yingzheng very satisfied, and said with a smile: "This place, called Mizuotang, is the best combination of craftsmen sent by the head of the Cui family to build it for him after Hua Taishi Zhishi, and it has been carefully built for him for more than 200 years......" Before he finished speaking, he heard Ao Xingxing say: "If this goes on all the time, the incense will come out, shouldn't it be burned?" It's very inappropriate! ”

The same Zi also stayed there with his mouth open, and after a while, Yingzheng slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "It is worthy of Qiu Ba, who has eaten grain in the north, and he is really a rough goods, I don't understand the customs, I don't understand the customs!" ”

As he spoke, Yingzheng had already walked to the window, and he didn't know where he wrenched it, but he heard the sound of the Titica, and the wooden people stopped.

"A lot of people wonder why I have to put my line here for some reason, and I have spent a lot of money to repair the mechanism here, and redecorate the ......."

Looking out the window, Yingzheng's voice also drifted a little.

"I'm here for someone else."

"Many years ago, someone read to me about Hualin Mizuotang, and said that he wanted to come and see it...... But she didn't make the trip. ”

“…… She loves to run around outside. ”

There was a rare mildness in his voice, but he immediately disappeared with a shake of Yingzheng's head.

"But the past is the past, and I just thought that I had a lot of military spending in my hands anyway, and it was nothing to waste it...... At least Lao Tzu didn't use military pay to gamble and prostitute! ”

“…… I said, are you really what the military secretary should say?! ”

The face is smiling freely, but Ao Xingxing's belly is clearly tight, Yingzheng is arrogant on the outside, and stoic on the inside, as he himself said: If it is just for some remembrance, then the silver will go out, but it will not stay here for so long.

(But what's worth it here...... )

The stomach was calculating, but I saw Yingzheng pulling the wall again, and in the squeak, the wooden man turned again, but this time the speed was much faster: the time to turn one circle was enough to turn three or four times at this moment.

"I did it casually, but I didn't expect it to be a good way to practice......"

Before the words fell, Yingzheng's shoulders flickered, and he had swept to Ao Xingxing's side, his hands became claws, overlapping and tearing off, which was the "desert devouring wolf" in the beast god trick.

"The surname Ao, now there is no girl to cover you, take out the whole copy of the matter and take a look...... Whoever touches the room first will lose! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(You can actually come up with this way...... This guy is not only cruel to others, but also ruthless to himself! )

The Ying Family Beast Divine Technique is the world's first class of fierce and domineering martial arts, but no one has ever praised it for its "exquisite and clever change" or something, with this kind of martial arts, even if it is given to the entire square to practice, I am afraid that it will not be enough or something, in this radius is only more than ten steps, and there are seven wooden people on the pavilion that is hurrying forward, but how to open it?

But Yingzheng actually did it, he turned his hands up and down, all with "inch strength" opposite, although it also inspired the shape of the beast god to appear, but they were all very small, looming, slightly caged outside the body.

"Fun, let's have fun!"

Attacked by Yingzheng all the way, he retreated more than ten moves in a row - he also narrowly collided with the wooden monk twice in the middle - Ao happily laughed out loud, and stopped his body suddenly, his left hand hovered, soft as boneless, and he was stuck in the "Extreme North Bear Tyrant" that Ying Zheng roared in, which was the "giant worm entanglement and killing" style in the East China Sea Seven Killing Boxing, but the right hand blasted out like thunder and lightning, and went straight to the Yingzheng Middle Palace, which was ruthless and abnormal, but it was used as a "Lingxi Water Killing" formula, he was deeply immersed in this way boxing, and the power was not inferior to the dragon fist, and a punch was swung out at the moment, The waves on his side vibrated and vibrate, and there seemed to be a thousand waves and shadows protecting each other.

“…… Okay, let's bang the fuck! ”

With a loud laugh, Yingzheng was dressed in clothes and hunting and flying, clasping his hands together, and generally blasted forward, and the shape of a bull's head faintly appeared behind him.

The position of the two of them at this time is very delicate, behind Ao Xingxing is a wooden monk, there is no way to retreat, but Yingzheng is facing the Buddha hall from the side, the Buddha statue is smiling, and the incense is lit in front of the seat. But under the collision of such heavy moves, the feet of the two of them were as stable as Mount Tai, not to mention, and even a little strong wind was not stirred, and the wooden monk entered dumbly, and the incense flickered faintly, without being disturbed at all.

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

scolded in unison, Guy Yin's thinking of the two was surprisingly consistent, although the momentum was amazing, but the hand was soft and weak, and the strength of a body was eighty percent of the strength was rooted in the lower plate, if it was a normal situation, such a blow would not want to withstand the opponent's strong move, although it was about to be able to stand at the root of the foot, but the opponent's fist was swinging, but it was impossible to block it.

"Want to use my fist to destroy the wooden man? You just dream about it, Lao Tzu has practiced here for more than ten days, and he has a sense of proportion in his hands, I don't know how much stronger than you! ”

"Joke, sir, I have been practicing martial arts in the waves of the East China Sea since I was a child, do you know what it means to send and receive freely and walk freely? That's the alias of your Ao Jiuye! ”

After the bombardment cannon in the air, the two looked at each other, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter, Yingzheng put away his fist and retreated, but Ao Xingxing was smacking, interspersed back and forth in the wooden world like lightning, and even threw out heavy punches repeatedly, but every blow was forced to contain the hair when it was not released, and there was no leakage of any energy.

"This is similar to the idea of our wooden house behind Longtian Castle, it is really a good method, I really can't think of it...... I'm not afraid of ruining things. ”

Without waiting for Yingzheng to speak, Ao Xingxing had already clapped his hands and said: "Hey, I forgot again, the last thing you are afraid of now is to waste things, and you have a lot of military spending to be greedy for ink...... In other words, will the profit be divided into one or two? ”
