Chapter Twenty-Five: The Wind Blows from All Directions
Xia Qing returned to the Xihai Inn, closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed.
The crowd gathered in the bazaar also slowly dispersed, but there were still many people gathered in twos and threes in the bazaar, on the road, and inside and outside the inn, still discussing the battle between Xia Qing and Xiao Wu just now. The waiting time is too long, but the excitement is so short, it passes in a blink of an eye, and it ends before you even see it clearly. It's not enough.
There was a heated debate about who won, who played the sword faster, and who had the more potential. But there is a consensus on one point, Xia Qing is really a martial arts genius, and at a young age, he is not lost to Xiao Wu, a ruthless swordsman who is notoriously ruthless and powerful, and the future is limitless, no wonder he dares to hang such an arrogant banner in the ring.
Grandmaster ring, reward 10,000 taels of silver, just for a defeat, Xia Qing's words used to make people feel extremely arrogant and ridiculous, thinking that it was just Xia Qing's eye-catching trick, but now, it gives people a shock.
Painting is a genius, and practicing martial arts is also a genius! Xia Qing used to sell paintings out of date, but what about this time? According to the statement on the banner, there are only three days left, which means that there are only three battles left. Next, what kind of master will appear, who can take the 10,000 taels of silver, and can Xia Qing have the last laugh?
People are getting louder and louder, and even old friends from many years are arguing. In the Xihai Inn, the two old men who came to drink quarreled so much that they were just talking about the ring at first, arguing and arguing, and turning each other's old bottoms out decades ago.
"You shameless old fellow, how did you steal people back then? Relying on the fact that you opened a rice shop and had a little spare money, you began to think wildly, deliberately followed behind a little lady who came to buy rice, secretly poked people's rice bags, and then pretended to be kind and said that they would send a bag of rice, and deceived them into bed. An old man shouted.
"You are even more shameless when you are an old immortal, and you don't even let go of your own daughter-in-law. Xihaiyuan's sloppy vulgarity was brought up by you old immortal!" The other old man's eyes widened, and he broke out an even bigger fierce news.
......
The two old men became more and more noisy, attracting all the people nearby. Old friends for decades, because they have different views on the ring, turn against each other when they quarrel, and all the onlookers are amused.
Listening to the voices of the two old men outside, Xia Qing also smiled, so far, this ring match can be said to be a great success, causing an unprecedented sensation in the small city of Xihaiyuan, and attracting the major families and all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods who are plotting against each other. Next, it's up to you whether you can kill the majesty of these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods and drag them here.
"There are only three battles left, tomorrow, who will appear on the stage?Bai Venerable of the Hundred Ghost Sect, Gu Chu, the left envoy of the Five Poisons Sect, or Zhao Gui's eerie living dead......
Xia Qing is also looking forward to the next battle, and now, he has successfully attracted all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to help Xia Wangfu and Lao Taijun share the pressure, but what kind of opponent he will meet next, this is not something he can predict. Just like Xiao Wu who challenged today, no one knew that he came to the Western Regions from the Central Plains and suddenly appeared.
Xia Qing was a little apprehensive, and her desire to break through the bottleneck became strong again. If you have enough strength, you don't have to be so troublesome at all, and you can directly kill all these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!
"Innate realm, I must break through!"
Xia Qing clenched his fists, took a deep breath, cut off the distracting thoughts in his mind and cultivated, and silently recited the Hao Qi Eternal Preservation Recipe to urge the Yang Qi in the body and impact the life prohibition in the body. Grand Steward Zhao didn't teach him the mental method of the Nine Swords of Heaven and Earth, but he had already shown what the Destiny Treasure was in the cave and helped Xia Qing open the door to cultivation.
Xia Qing quickly entered the state, and the yang energy in his body gathered into the dantian and began to compress little by little.
The room is gradually filled with a heat wave, and the heat wave is released during the compression of yang energy, and the harder the compression, the higher the temperature of the heat wave. After compressing to the extreme, you can break through the forbidden life grid and ignite the fire in your heart.
Xia Qing's body became hotter and hotter, and he launched an all-out impact on the first life grid prohibition, and slowly, the yang energy in his body was condensed into a small ball of hot to the extreme; This sudden yin wind is the first life prohibition that imprisons Xia Qing.
"Damn!"
"I am a descendant of the Xia Palace, I am the body of divine punishment, I will definitely be able to break through!"
Xia Qing roared in his heart, condensed the yang energy in his body and launched an impact again, failing again and again, and then, starting all over again and again. The encouragement of the great butler Zhao made him believe that he was the legendary body of divine punishment, and the reason why he did not break through for a long time was not that his talent was too mediocre, but that he was so good that even the gods and demons of the heavens were jealous, so he lowered a particularly powerful life ban. Cultivation is slower than ordinary people, however, once the breakthrough is made, the potential is far from comparable!
After failing a thousand times, after 10,000 times, Xia Qing did not give up, and always believed in his heart that he would be able to break through one day. The words of the great housekeeper Zhao recalled in his mind, people must believe in themselves, how strong their hearts are, how strong they are!
Time passed, a long time, and when Xia Qing opened his eyes, it was already dark. The body is tired, the clothes on the body are already soaked, and the nearby streets are brightly lit, and for many people, life has just begun. From time to time, there was unbridled laughter in the night sky, and I don't know who was going crazy again, and the demons danced wildly after nightfall.
The big housekeeper Zhao and Qin Yuan and his wife, who lived next door, had already moved in, and their breath was long. Xia Qing thought for a while, wrote down what he wanted to prepare on a piece of paper, put on a hat and quietly opened the door and walked out, leaving the inn through the back door.
Xihaiyuan is a small city with a small local population, but because it is located on a major transportation route, there are many caravans coming and going. In the evenings, it is customary for the wandering merchants and guards to come out for a few drinks, and the streets are lined with inns and liquor shops. Xia Qing strolled around casually, walked into an inconspicuous wine shop and sat down, ordered some drinks, and listened to people's conversations while tasting slowly. In the wine shops where people come and go, they are often the most well-informed.
"Everyone, do you know the origin of the Xia Gongzi who fought in the ring?"
A big man's guard had the loudest voice, and he paused mysteriously, and only after satisfying people's appetites did he say: "It is said that Xia Gongzi is a personal disciple of the head of the Burial Sword Sect, and he has long cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly and Human Realm. This time it was a downhill experience, deliberately sealing his own skills and disguising himself as a martial artist in the acquired realm, preparing to comprehend the mysteries of life and death in the experience. Once you return to the Burial Sword Gate, you can break through to the realm of life and death and become the youngest master of the realm of life and death in the history of Zhongzhou!"
"Brother Dao, is it really fake?" someone asked.
"How can this be fake?"
The big man took a sip of liquor and asked rhetorically: "Except for the disciples of the Burial Sword Sect who are unique in the world in swordsmanship, who can have such ability and courage at a young age?"
"That's just as well!"
"The disciple of the Burial Sword Sect, the great master at the peak of the Heaven and Man Realm, no wonder the ruthless swordsman Xiao Wu can't get a bargain!"
People echoed that the battle between Xia Qing and Xiao Wu had been discussed for a day, and it continued in the evening.
In the corner, Xia Qing couldn't cry or laugh. These people speak clearly, admire their eloquence, and if they say another person, they will believe it.
