Chapter 706: ** Ceremony
In the evening, the wind picked up, and it was a little cooler.
The wind blows the leaves and rolls through the cold streets.
It seems that the people of the whole street feel the smell of killing in the air, so it is not yet night, and there are few pedestrians in sight on the street, and the occasional pedestrians passing by are also in a hurry.
Bibo City is half a water city, the water vapor is heavy, the nights are relatively cold, and before winter, many families have to light fires to keep warm.
The wind blew into the wine shop, and the owner of the wine shop, Hu Haiqiao, hurriedly went to close the door.
When the door was closed, I saw a pedestrian passing by the door, and kindly reminded: "Niu Da, don't go back quickly! Hide at home tonight, don't come out." ”
"Huh!" the man replied, and quickened his pace.
Hu Haiqiao put the door on the top, brought the charcoal basin to Ye Xuan's feet, and said a little apologetically: "Childe, I'm really sorry." I use tobacco charcoal here on weekdays, so I can only grieve you. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Ye Xuan didn't care about this, for a martial artist, it didn't matter if he didn't need to bake the fire, but the owner of the wine shop was also well-intentioned, so he didn't shirk it.
Hu Haiqiao placed the charcoal basin, skewered three pieces of bacon with a bamboo skewer, and the other end of the bamboo skewer was inserted in the charcoal ash, hanging it next to the charcoal fire and roasting it slowly.
Ye Xuan took out the swordsmanship secrets in the Wanzang Storage Ring and slowly flipped through them.
These swordsmanship grades can be high and low, but each one has its own differences.
Ye Xuan took it out and looked at it, not necessarily practicing, but feeling some of the flaws and uniqueness of these swordsmanship.
Since the enlightenment of the kendo aura, the kendo realm has reached the peak to a certain extent, for these swordsmanship, you only need to look at it once, you can roughly know the artistic conception of the moves contained in the swordsmanship.
Night is falling.
The Night Stalker Guard returns every quarter of an hour to report on what's going on outside.
Ye Xuan was roasting the fire, reading the book, listening to the advice of the night owl secret guard, which had a bit of a strategic meaning.
"Young master, the Heavenly Demon began to dance the Divine Dance in the underground assembly hall, but there was no high-level Heavenly Demon Priest present, and it was the Soul Suppression Singing released by the Echo Conch. The Night Stalker Dark Guard said.
Ye Xuan had seen the Heavenly Demon Clan's Divine Sacrifice Dance, to put it simply, a high-level Heavenly Demon Priest chanted the Heavenly Demon Soul Suppression Singing from the primeval world, and a large group of Heavenly Demons danced in a circle around the priest.
If it is a heavenly demon tribe with the customs of the primeval era, after the god dance, it is ***.
Many of the most noble Heavenly Demon Women will give birth to powerful bloodlines in this way with many of the strongest Heavenly Demon Warriors**.
To some extent, this most direct bloodline combination does have the potential to create more powerful bloodline offspring.
However, there were no earth-shattering powerhouses in the ancient times of the Heavenly Demon Clan, which may show that relying solely on bloodline cannot make a race prosperous for a long time.
After dinner.
Hu Haiqiao brought two children in from the backyard, a boy and a girl, seven or eight years old.
The girl is an older sister, who is handsome and very well-behaved. The younger brother is also very delicate and seems to be more shy than the older sister.
"You two just sit here and roast the fire, and you can't disturb the childe. Hu Haiqiao arranged the two children to sit down by the brazier and gave a serious admonition.
"Got it, father. The two children were obedient and nodded in agreement.
But as soon as they sat down, they stared at the braised pork on the low table and drooled.
Because of the oppression of the Heavenly Demon, this wine shop has not been able to open for business most of the time, and it can be seen that the family has had a very hard time over the years.
The eyes of the two children, Ye Xuan naturally found it, smiled and pushed the braised pork over, and said, "Eat." But not with your hands, with chopsticks. ”
The two children glanced at each other and immediately rushed to the table to get chopsticks.
Hu Haiqiao caught up, knocked off the hands of the two children, and scolded: "There are no rules, this is the son's appetizer." Later, I will give you the bacon roasted on the brazier, one slice per person. ”
"Let them eat. I'm not short of this bit of meat. Ye Xuan said loudly.
Hu Haiqiao didn't care about the two children anymore and let them divide the braised pork on the plate equally.
After a while, Hu Haiqiao asked, "Childe, let these two children stay here and not disturb you, right?"
"It's fine. ”
Ye Xuan knew why Hu Haiqiao placed his two children here, because he knew that something big would happen tonight, and the place where he was was the safest place.
At night, the oil lamp in the house was a little dim.
Ye Xuan took out a pearl and hung it on the lampstand on the roof to illuminate it.
This night, the special silence in the north city of Bibo City was like the calm before a storm, as if something was about to erupt, making people nervous and breathless.
It's been a quarter of an hour since the last Night Stalker Dark Guard came to report.
The figure in the room flashed, and the night owl secret guard came to report on time: "Young master, the Heavenly Demon at the underground assembly venue has begun to carry out the ** ceremony, and Jin Gudu and other Heavenly Demon Leaders have personally participated in it." It is expected that the ceremony will end in half an hour, after which a night attack will be launched. ”
After listening to the report, Ye Xuan turned over the charcoal fire with a stick and said, "Is Jin Gudu also a powerful Heavenly Demon Warrior?"
According to the ** ritual of the Heavenly Demon Clan, it is necessary to select the most powerful Heavenly Demon Warrior to carry out **, in order to give birth to a strong bloodline.
However, Jin Gudu was obviously not a powerful warrior, but was better at inciting the Heavenly Demons to make trouble.
"Xu Changlin, are they ready for battle?" Ye Xuan asked instead.
"Preparations have been made for tonight in the event of an incident. Xu Changlin has two other captains, and he will lead the iron cavalry in three ways to clear the heavenly demons. The Night Stalker Guard replied.
"Okay, let's go. Ye Xuan waved his hand to let the night owl guard retreat.
When the night owl secretly reported the situation, the two children of the Hu family kept staring at the swordsmanship secrets placed on the table.
Ye Xuan pushed the two secret books in front of them and asked with a smile, "There are two swordsmanship secrets here, one is a saint-level swordsmanship, and the other is a mortal-level basic swordsmanship. If it were given to you, which one would you choose?"
The two children thought for a while, and then pointed to the saint-level sword technique in unison.
When Hu Haiqiao saw it, he came up and hit them on the back of their hands, and said, "I haven't practiced martial arts, and I can't practice saint-level swordsmanship." It's so ambitious!"
Ye Xuan then asked, "Why did you choose this book?"
The younger brother preemptively said: "Keep it, and wait for the martial arts I have practiced before I practice." ”
Ye Xuan looked at the little girl again and asked, "What about you?"
"Sell it and exchange it for more martial arts secrets that we can practice. The little girl gave a different answer.
When Hu Haiqiao heard his daughter's answer, he didn't know what to say.
This answer sounds very good, but in fact it is very difficult to do, because ordinary people take a saint-level sword technique secret book to sell, which is no different from looking for death.
Ye Xuan didn't comment on the answer after listening to it, but just smiled.
The little girl asked curiously, "Childe, which one will you choose?"
Ye Xuan pondered for a while before saying, "I should be able to ...... Both. ”
