Chapter Seventy-Four: The Little Village of Wanni
On the outskirts of Guangxin, dozens of red-clothed knights galloped on horseback, and bursts of dust were raised on the flat official road, and the merchants and travelers avoided both sides of the road one after another, lest they be knocked down by the galloping horses.
The convoy passed by a convoy of large families parked on the side of the road to rest, and when the smoke and dust had cleared, the small window of the carriage was pushed open, revealing a round face full of greasy.
The rich merchant man looked at the distant figure of the horse team and fanned his nose angrily, and cursed disdainfully: "Vulgar martial artist!
The red knight horse team galloped for dozens of miles, and then slowly slowed down, and galloped for several hours in a row, although everyone had internal strength to protect their bodies, but the violent bumps still brought a little tiredness.
Ji Ling Lerma stopped, looked back and asked Xuanyi behind him: "Brother Xuan, the map shows that there is a small village called Wanni a few miles ahead, why don't we take a rest there and have lunch before we go." ”
Xuan Yi nodded slightly in agreement: "Just according to what you say!"
The red knights cheered, urging their hips to gallop in the direction indicated on the map.
Located between the cities of Guangxin and Deyang, Wanni Village is a small family-style village with a population of less than 100, and because the village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the villagers generally rely on hunting and fishing to make a living.
The noon sun was bright and dazzling, Zhou Liwen squinted his eyes slightly and leaned leisurely under the big tree at the entrance of the village to take a nap, leaning on his side with a cane and a mighty hound lying under him to show his majesty as a patriarch.
"Ahem!" Zhou Liwen coughed lightly, exhaled a few mouthfuls of turbidity, lowered his head and continued to read the book "Miscellaneous" that he had read tens of thousands of times on his lap. During this period, from time to time, there were villagers walking towards the entrance of the village, and the villagers under the trees all looked at Zhou Liwen with respect, and the picture of the old patriarch leaning on the tree and reading a book seemed to have been retained in the memory of the villagers for a long time.
"Woo!" the hound next to Zhou Liwen's feet suddenly let out a low growl, then straightened up and flew out. Zhou Liwen put down the book, lifted the cane, and looked suspiciously in the direction where the hound ran out.
A group of cardinal knights poured out of the village road in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard clearly. Zhou Liwen frowned slightly, he had always lacked a good impression of these people who fought and killed.
Zhou Liwen walked slowly to the side of the road at the entrance of the village, standing in place with crutches in both hands, looking at the group of people galloping over from a distance. The horse team slowed down slowly outside the entrance of the village, and the riders on the horses jumped off the ground one after another to show their friendship and respect, and the young man at the head arched his hand towards Zhou Liwen, and said with a smile: "Hello old man! ”
Zhou Liwen narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the man in front of him, his gaze lingered for a moment on the sword and sword behind him, and said reluctantly: "Yes, as long as you restrain your subordinates, don't disturb the villagers." ”
Xuanyi saluted again: "Thank you, uncle, for bothering me." ”
He turned his head and greeted everyone behind him: "You heard it clearly, right?" An invisible coercion was inadvertently revealed, and Ji Ling and the others behind him only felt a slight chill on their backs, and hurriedly claimed that it was. Xuanyi nodded with satisfaction, and led the war horse into the village first.
Zhou Liwen looked at the distant back of Xuanyi and his party, picked up his cane and angrily knocked on the hounds that were so frightened that he was lying on the ground: "Cowardice! Our faces have been lost by you!" The hunting dog that was extremely brave and could fight tigers and wolves had long been frightened by Xuanyi's coercion and did not dare to move, and his limbs trembled uncontrollably, no matter how Zhou Liwen pulled, he couldn't stand up for a while.
"This village is quite clean!" Ji Ling looked at the village in front of him and praised repeatedly, which was very different from the image of the dirty and messy village he usually saw.
"There are some doorways. Xuanyi nodded in response, his eyes resting on the two drainage ditches of different depths beside the road: "The layout of this village is orderly, although the scale is small, there are all kinds of related facilities. ”
Everyone came to the only tavern in the village, and the tavern in the afternoon was full of drinkers chatting and talking, perhaps because of the narrow space in the house, several wine tables had been moved outside.
Xuanyi and his entourage quickly attracted the attention of all the drinkers, and when they saw that everyone was carrying swords, several drinkers quietly vacated two tables. Xuanyi arched his hand towards several people and smiled to show his gratitude.
"Sit down, get enough food and drink water after eating, and hurry away immediately. Xuanyi greeted, reached into his arms, took out a silver ingot, handed it to Ji Ling, and instructed: "Order more meat, and a bowl of wine per person to quench your thirst." ”
"Okay!" Ji Ling took the silver and walked into the store to do it.
Xuanyi took off the sword he was carrying and put it at his side, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, it seemed to outsiders that he was closing his eyes to recuperate, but in fact he was throwing his mind into the core of the wood. Scanning the personal information column casually, the combat power value has actually increased a lot, from the original increase to, I think it must be the income brought by absorbing the fragments of the divine sword.
After Xuan Yi briefly browsed the martial arts exercises, his gaze finally stayed on the last column of the wood core, where a new entry appeared at some point, which read: The second life body dies with 149 days, 21 hours and 23 seconds left. Xuanyi was shocked, and then remembered that he also had the identity of the first true disciple of the Vajra Temple Discipline Academy.
He patted his head in annoyance, his mind moved, and his soul instantly shifted to the true martial body thousands of miles away. Xuan Yi only felt a slight pain in his soul, and after a while, he had already possessed the body of another sturdy young man. He opened his eyes, and the last trace of dizziness and discomfort in his mind gradually faded.
In front of me is a strange meditation room, although the space is not large, but it is all available, and the incense burner in the corner of the wall rises from the sandalwood incense through the air into the mouth and nose of Xuanyi. The two of them, who were supposed to be in charge of taking care of his diet and daily life, sat bored on the threshold and chatted with each other.
"This True Martial Master can really sleep!" quipped the little novice on the left.
"Fool, that's the Divine Skill of Buddhism, the Turtle Breath Gong, and the longevity of life. Another retorted.
"What's the use of prolonging life, it's better to practice some powerful fists and feet kung fu to be happy and happy. ”
"Hey! It's not easy to improve the Buddhist exercises, how many people have been enlightened all their lives and have never been allowed to enter, and Yang Shou is not defeated by the enemy in the end, but defeated by time. ”
Hearing this, Xuan Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, he didn't expect this ordinary little novice to have this kind of insight, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that someone on the local side seemed to be talking in his ear, so he could only leave the body again and return to the body in an instant.
