Chapter 169 Turning Passive into Active, Indirect into Direct
PS: (first update...... Today's spirit is a little sluggish, so let's think about it. ◇↓ Top ◇ ↓ Point ◇ ↓ Small ◇ ↓ Said, x. The second shift before 12 o'clock. )
After the poppy left, Yi Cheng thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out how she poisoned herself.
Is it in wine? Down on the lady's sword? On that silver ticket of one million taels? Or is it with great strength, directly casting poison on him silently?
In any case, her previous sentence of "don't underestimate the masters of the world" was really imprinted in Yi Cheng's heart through this incident.
The five masters are certainly strong, but in this river and lake where there are many talents, even if they are the five masters, the entry of martial arts is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Seeing that it is only a few days before the March competition of the new sect, Yi Cheng believes that by then, a new batch of rookies will emerge in the rivers and lakes.
"It seems that I am also going to practice the superior martial arts of the Tomb Sect as soon as possible."
Gu Xue'er had almost been able to intervene in the light and dark confrontation between Yi Cheng and Yu Meiren before, and when she talked about it at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Especially now that I am the leader of the Pure Heart Wunian Pavilion, although I have you as the face of the gang in the future, my own strength also needs to be improved."
"It's okay, I've already received reliable information before, and Master is about to leave the customs these days, and I think I'm also making final preparations for the sect competition."
As mentioned earlier, new sects are opened, and the first sect contest will be held after March. Then, like all sects, once a month, he decided the top ten sects and the "sect chief" of various affairs within the general sect.
Among them. The rules and chief settings of each sect are not exactly the same, for example, the Quanzhen Sect is the seven true people at the same time. The beggar gang selected a master from the dirty clothes faction and the clean clothes faction respectively, respectively, the head of the stick and the head of the bowl, Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang faction was old, so the head of the sect exercised the duties of acting head, and the vulture palace and the Shaolin faction were more straightforward, and the titles of "senior sister in charge" and "senior brother in charge" undoubtedly showed how much power this chief position had in the sect.
Of course, if you want to talk about arrogance, you have to belong to the Huashan faction, the chief disciple of the sect. When you go out, there is a "Sword Master" logo on your head, which always reminds people of the image of a mad dog with a red face and fangs and a big knife that can't be killed when it sees someone.
Aside from the sect competition, when the first sect competition of the new sect passes, more profound martial arts will also be opened accordingly, such as the nirvana martial arts that Yi Cheng had been searching for but could not see, and the "sect stunts" that can only be practiced after cultivating the sect's skills to an extremely high depth - the "Blood Slash Thousand Swords Method" and the "Blood Knife Crazy Slash Method" used by the East Knife mentioned earlier belong to the category of sect stunt martial arts.
Because of this, starting from next month, this Jianghu is afraid to usher in a new wave of strength improvement. For Yi Cheng, whether he can maintain the foundation and advantages that he has gradually laid since his return in such a turbulent form is undoubtedly very important.
"After all, there are still sisters in the door who don't want to join my Pure Heart Pavilion, but. There's no way around it. ”
Speaking of the sect competition, Gu Xue'er was still slightly worried.
"With your strength, you will win the honor of the chief disciple in the ancient tomb. There should be no problem, but in case ......"
"Don't worry. In my case, there is no such thing as a case. ”
Yi Cheng is confident and high-spirited. For Gu Xue'er's concerns, although he also had them in his heart, they quickly turned into floating clouds and dissipated.
As a master, if you don't even have invincible confidence and belief, it is equivalent to laying the groundwork for yourself from the beginning.
As Murphy's Law says, when something is possible, it will happen, so the only way to eliminate this possibility is to make it "impossible".
"Then again......"
Seeing him so confident, Gu Xue'er just smiled lightly and shifted the topic back to Fang Cai's direction with kindness.
"You said that you want to use the Sword Demon Sword Shrine as the station of our gang, is it feasible?"
"I don't know, but once it succeeds, then this location is solid for us."
Yes, compared to those stations that are placed on the surface, the Sword Demon Sword Shrine, which is hidden as a special scene, can be said to have a natural advantage - even if someone wants to grab the station, they must first find the location of the Sword Demon Sword Shrine, and even if they find it, I am afraid they may not necessarily meet the conditions for entering it.
Taking a step back, the Sword Demon Sword Shrine is not the same as those places that have been emptied, such as the Desperate Valley, the Hundred Flowers Valley, the Butterfly Valley, and the other stations, there is no NPC sect that will compete with players for resources like the Great Snow Mountain, but there is a big eagle that is more reliable than any master.
Yi Cheng had no doubt that with this carving brother, even if someone dared to break into the sword mound, they would be fanned into a turnstile on the spot by opening the bow left and right.
"Just do it, wait for me to go to Xixia Yipintang, if there is no progress in the task, we will go to the Sword Shrine to try it."
"Okay."
Gu Xue'er nodded, and was about to speak, when she saw Yi Cheng stuff a small lamb full of chopsticks into her mouth.
As soon as she made room, her pretty face turned red.
"What's wrong?"
Yi Cheng was puzzled, and looked at Gu Xue'er, who was a little embarrassed, suspiciously.
"Those...... Can't eat. ”
"Why can't I eat it, although it's a little cold, it tastes pretty good...... Not. ”
As soon as he said this, Yi Cheng suddenly remembered that Gu Xue'er was amused by his joke of "cow and milkman" just now.
"No wonder there is a smell of wine in this dish......"
Muttering in a low voice, Yi Cheng raised his head again and secretly glanced at Gu Xue'er's pursed cherry lips.
"Does this count as indirect kissing?"
"Hmph."
Gu Xue'er snorted lightly and ignored him, but the blush on her face became more and more obvious.
Seeing this, Yi Cheng's heart and appetite were all open, so he simply shook off his cheeks and snored, and swept most of the dishes on the table that had been stained by the fragrance of the woman in front of him, and only put down his chopsticks with satisfaction when Gu Xue'er scolded him angrily.
"When I saw you chatting with that poppy just now, it wasn't as vicious as it is now."
Gu Xue'er's casual words made Yi Cheng almost squirt out the food he had just eaten.
Just now? You watched and listened to the conversation between the two of us!
"I'm with that poppy...... Doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary? ”
"That's natural, after all, it's in front of my junior sister, right, senior brother?"
“……”
Woman, woman, is you ready to swear sovereignty before the relationship is formalized?
So...... Let's make the storm more violent! …… (To be continued......)
