Chapter 102: Sacrifice
"It is rumored that when you practice only one move, it will be extremely terrifying when you practice it thousands of times, 100,000 times, and millions of times. 35xs I don't believe it, although it will produce extremely powerful power, but the dark injuries to the body caused by it alone are unbearable for ordinary people. Maybe before you have practiced to the extreme power, your body will be crippled. But this is undoubtedly a shortcut concept. It will make people form combat power much faster than ordinary masters. Bai Shixi looked at Tangshan, whose eyes lit up when he heard it.
"Can I do it too?" Tang Shan asked seriously.
White Rock Creek nodded.
"You can try it, and I'll tailor a move for you. If you practice every day, you may be able to generate enough power. "Tailor-made to avoid the stiffness of the body, plus the internal strength is also health qigong, which should be able to make up for the dark injuries of this practice to the greatest extent.
Tangshan's eyes brightened.
Time passes slowly.
By the time the two of them came out of the woods, it was already noon, and Tang Shan was in high spirits, and he rushed to Baishixi to say goodbye and leave, hurrying back to practice his newly learned internal and external skills.
"At the beginning, it's fresh, but when you don't see any progress in your daily penance, you know that it's going to be painful. Cultivating both inside and outside, even if you are a genius and don't have more than five years of foundation, you can't even be considered a third-rate. Bai Shixi looked at a real estate certificate in his hand and shook his head slightly.
This is the property donated by Tangshan to the master after the transmission of the gong, which can be regarded as an apprenticeship.
A shopping mall in the sub-prosperous area of Boluo City, the kind of land where every inch of land is valuable, is worth nearly one million. For Tangshan, it is also a one-time big deal.
Putting away the real estate certificate, White Rock Creek clapped his hands.
Soon, in the distance, soldiers on guard rushed over.
"Foreign Minister!"
"Go check with me, how is the relocation progress of the Bai family." Bai Shixi commanded lightly.
"Yes." The soldier hurriedly and respectfully responded, and quickly left to deliver the order.
After handling the affairs of Tangshan, Bai Shixi arranged for people to guard the gate of the city and wait for the news of the Bai family's relocation.
Because of the long distance, it was inconvenient for him to send someone to pick him up, and even now, his family didn't know about him joining the Sequoia Army and becoming a big man.
On the second day, go to Turing Intermediate Academy to participate in the sacrifice.
Bai Shixi saw Zhou Shuangshuang again, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and this young lady seemed to be a little haggard, and when she saw him appear, Zhou Shuangshuang was obviously in good spirits, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
The sacrificial activity is very boring, that is, a circular stone platform, set up high, with four drums placed on it, and at the same time, there are ceremonial officials reciting ancient ritual poems and long texts.
The large crowd in the audience listened drowsily.
Bai Shixi and Tang Shan stood between the crowd on the stage, wearing a large robe with red edges on a white background and a high black pointed hat.
Zhou Shuangshuang didn't make the list, and among the people who often played together, only Tangshan and Baishixi were in the middle school, one was sixteen, and the other was in the thirties. The rest of the people were offstage, looking at the stage with envy.
Bai Shixi looked down at the large number of people who were pressed by the black pressure below, but he heard Tang Shan whispering in his ears.
"Next year, we can go to the provincial capital to take the government affairs yuan exam, brother Bai, are you going?" Tang San said in a low voice.
"Government Council Exam" Bai Shixi's face remained unchanged, and he sighed, at his current level, as a foreign affairs officer of the Sequoia Army, his subordinates have a lot of power, and he is nominally responsible for the security and stability of the entire underground world of Boluo City, and then take the exam, does it make sense?
Even if you pass the government affairs yuan exam and become a lifter, what can you do? After that, even if you pass the exam, you will only be a clerical job, and you will have no power or power. 35xs, but what is the use of this in the current world?
Bai Shixi sighed in his heart, not squinting.
"We'll talk about it then." He didn't want to take the test anymore.
"Why doesn't Brother Bai take the officialdom exam?" Tang Shan also proposed. "With Brother Bai's skills, a martial arts name is just a hand-to-hand capture."
"Even if you become an official, what then?" White Rock Creek said in a low voice.
"I became an official, I became an official" Tang San was stunned and wanted to justify, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he slowly lowered his head, "Yes, even if you are an official, what's the use" He suddenly looked depressed.
"Worship the sponsor!" The shouts of the ceremonial officer rang out, interrupting the two of them.
A large group of people from high school all bowed respectfully to the bronze statue of the main merit on the high platform.
The meritorious lord Yingmu, known as Yingzi by the world, was the pioneer of the Confucian imperial examination system, and was crowned as the meritorious master by the people after his death. In fact, he is just an ordinary person with enough merit.
Bai Shixi quietly looked at the bronze statue of the old man who was more than one person tall, his face was expressionless, and he bent down and saluted with everyone.
"In the future, will I have to worship all the higher ones as I am now?" A thought flashed through his mind.
When he bent down and lowered his head, a trace of determination finally flashed in Bai Shixi's eyes.
"In this world, how can there be a reason for the weak to be bowed down by the strong." He listened to the ceremonial official's long sacrificial speech, and his heart slowly calmed down.
"It's okay not to go to this government office."
********************
Boluo City Yuelong Bridge.
The large area of gray and white bungalows in Boluo City is like fish scales, and it is divided into two parts, with a pale red lake and river in the middle, dividing the city into two.
Bai Shixi and Zhou Shuangshuang stood on the bridge, watching the weeping willows by the river swaying in the wind, and the two did not speak for a while.
After being silent for a while, Bai Shixi smiled when he saw that the long-legged girl paper in front of him had not responded.
"I haven't been to this place yet, the air is nice and the view is good. How did you come up with the idea of coming here for a walk? ”
Zhou Shuangshuang looked at the sluice gate that was constantly flowing out, and several water belts of white flowers, like white silk, were continuous, rattling, and flowed into the lake and river.
"The third renovation of this sluice gate was still my father's money, and a lot of manpower and material resources were used at that time, and the first time the water was repaired and released, I came to see it, and I was really excited at that time. Seeing that the turbid torrent and rainstorm, the water flow formed by the precipitation and filtration of this Yuelong Bridge became a clean and clear river water, which shocked you not understand. ”
"Well, I've seen it before." Bai Shixi touched his bald head, wondering why he hadn't grown his hair for so long.
"Brother Stony Brook, you say, do you really dislike me?" Zhou Shuangshuang turned around and looked at Bai Shixi with a pale face.
"You are so beautiful, knowledgeable, and well-off, who can dislike you?" Bai Shixi shook his head and said, "I just don't want to settle down so early. ”
He knows that his future path is destined to constantly deal with monsters, and his character determines that he has a mysterious Taoist costume, and it is impossible to be willing to do nothing all his life.
And this kind of life is destined to be unacceptable to Zhou Shuangshuang. All she wants is to find a lover, live a good life, have children, and inherit the family business.
And none of this is what White Rock Creek wants.
Since you can't give people a future, don't let people have hope, and don't delay others.
Bai Shixi understood very well in his heart, so after the sacrifice, he didn't hide from Zhou Shuangshuang, who was close, and came here with her.
"I know you're different from us." Zhou Shuangshuang lowered her head, and her voice became quieter. "My father also advised me, don't be too persistent, from the changes in Brother Shixi, I can also guess what kind of life you lived before."
"And you're still there?" Bai Shixi asked helplessly.
"However, I only feel safe when I'm with you" Zhou Shuangshuang stepped forward and gently approached Baishixi.
She wore a light long-sleeved white shirt with a wide cream-white tulle and a pink bandeau underneath. The legs are white ruffle skirts with bows tied with ropes from the right side. The skirt only reaches the knees, highlighting the slender and perfect white legs.
"You" Bai Shixi looked at Zhou Shuangshuang who was approaching, slightly stunned, even in the extremely open Northland, there are few women who are so close to a single man.
"I like you. Brother Stony Brook. Zhou Shuangshuang's beautiful eyes looked at Bai Shixi tenderly and looked into his eyes.
