049: Returning to the heart like an arrow

Now the rookie competition in Xuzhou counties is less than a month away. Besides, when she came to the Southern Regions Demon Forest, she has not returned yet, and her mother at home must be worried, and Feng Qingru is also like an arrow.

So I decided to go to the elixir hall and Fang Market in Nan'an City to have a look, and buy a few dragon horses for the journey.

Qin Yulang and four armed guards accompanied him, Feng Qingru and Wang Wu and Wang Liu, a group of eight people, came out of the alley where the third uncle's house was located, and met neighbors along the way, all of whom were civilians in coarse linen clothes and short shirts. Seeing Wang Wu and the two of them carrying their bags, many people came to greet Wang Wu and the others. Wang Wuyi responded enthusiastically, saying something like "This long trip, the third uncle and three aunts are at home, and the neighbors will take more care of them", "He will not forget the old township if he has achieved something in the future".

Wang Liu, on the other hand, didn't say a word, rarely spoke, and occasionally met two teenagers of the same age, who came to speak, and they also hugged each other tightly, taking care of each other, and did not have too many words to greet each other.

Seeing this, Qin Yulang said to Feng Qingru: "I see that Wang Wu and Wang Liu seem to have different personalities. Wang Wu is warm and courteous, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. Wang Liu said very little, but judging from his expression, he also valued love and righteousness. ”

Feng Qingru said: "Brother Qin didn't know, the two of them were young that day, their parents passed away one after another, and the four brothers and sisters above also died one after another. The two were determined to pursue martial arts and get ahead, so they sold the old house handed down by their ancestors cheaply, went to the Lingnan Sect to join the sect, and studied art for three years. The act of selling the ancestral house was somewhat out of line with local customs, so after the two returned to Whitewater Street, they were displaced. There are also many blank eyes and cold words in the neighbors, and even the third uncle was a little dissatisfied at the beginning. Only the third aunt still takes care of them regardless of their previous suspicions. ”

Qin Yulang suddenly understood, "So that's the case. It can be seen that this Wang Wu's temperament is more delicate and clear, and Wang Liu's temperament is square and introverted. The same encounter, but the impact left on the two is indeed a little different. ”

Feng Qingru nodded and said, "At the beginning, the two of them insisted on following me, and I was also very puzzled, according to the qualifications of the two of them, they were actually not bad. It shouldn't be that you can't even pass the assessment of the outer sect of the Lingnan Sect. Looks like bad luck. ”

Qin Yulang smiled and said: Qingru, there are some secular doorways, you may not understand. The reason why these two brothers have good qualifications, but they can't pass the outer assessment of a second-rate sect of the Lingnan Sect is nothing more than two reasons. One is that some people have special qualifications and belong to the late-blooming type, and they are often inconspicuous when they are young, and they enter the realm slowly, and they only slowly reveal their cultivation talent when they are fifteen or sixteen or even seventeen or eighteen years old. There are even some special physiques, and it is not impossible to suddenly awaken some bloodline abilities at a certain time, and from then on soar to the sky and go free.

Feng Qingru nodded: This, which is also the reason why I have some doubts. There is another reason, but why?

Qin Yulang said: There is another reason, that is, the influence of secular factors. For example, if you are a child of a large family or some forces in your family, and you can learn better martial arts and mental methods since you were a child, and enjoy better resources, then you will naturally be handy when you cultivate. But if you come from a commoner family, you don't have a profound heart method, you don't have resources, and when you get to the sect, you don't know how to set up some doorways, or even can't afford to get close to these doorways, then they will block all the paths you climb up. Even if you have qualifications, you can't reveal them. So much so that the pearl is covered with dust and is in the company of stone and soil.

Qin Yulang smiled: This is not a bad thing. I saw that the two brothers were not in the pool, although I couldn't see anything special about the two of them, but I always had a faint feeling that the two of them would have something to achieve one day. It will be your right-hand man. Such a good opportunity, it was all touched by you, haha.

Feng Qingru nodded, although Wang Wu and Wang Liu have different personalities, they are both tenacious and persevering, they have their own pursuit and dedication to martial arts, and they are even more kind and polite, they only need to give them enough resources and opportunities, presumably they will not disappoint themselves. He has Xuan-level combat skills such as the Breaking Saber Technique and the Fire Dragon Spear Technique in his hands, and he only needs to pass it on to one of them, which is enough for them to cultivate. It's just that there is still a lack of a suitable martial arts method.

In this world where the surface is calm, but in fact the undercurrent is turbulent and the wind and rain are coming, only by constantly improving and strengthening oneself can we let ourselves and the Feng family have the power to protect ourselves. On that day, Feng Qingru also gave his father a lot of "Fengzi Mixed Yuan Dan" and Qi and Blood Pill, which was to let his father cultivate some of his own henchmen.

In Feng Qingru's heart, she already had the idea of creating her own force. However, the Nine Heavens Mixed Yuan Mind Method seems to be extremely particular about the fate method, and in the previous life, my uncle said that it would take hundreds of years for one person to practice, and those who had no fate, even if you let you cultivate, would not be able to cultivate successfully. Senior brother was scheming that day, wanting to seize this exercise, but in the end, he still made a mistake and failed to succeed, which shows that under the vast starry sky, the word chance is always a topic that cannot be avoided.

Their own power, they should have their own Xuan-level inheritance, Xuan-level themselves are not lacking for the time being, but there is no suitable exercise, the exercises of the Feng family are also related to the bloodline of the legend of the Feng family, if there is no phoenix bloodline awakening, the cultivator Feng family's "Flying Phoenix Heart Method" is not too special. I have practiced the Flying Phoenix Heart Method since I was a child, and so is my sister and father, but I don't seem to be satisfied with entering the realm. Fortunately, I have a nine-day mixed element heart method, which can just make up for it.

Wang Wu and Wang Liu said goodbye to the neighbors along the street, and the neighbors looked at Qin Yulang, Feng Qingru and others as extraordinary, and the two boys Wang Wu and Wang Liu were also a little blessed and envious. From time to time, a few five, six, seven or eight year-old boys will pop up, all of them are some little guys who pestered Wang Wu and the two to learn martial arts on weekdays, seeing that Wang Wu and the two wanted to "go outside to live a good life and pursue martial arts", so they took Wang Wu's hands and quarreled with their parents to go. Wang Wu said with a smile: You practice the basic skills I taught you at home, and in a few days, I will test your results and take you with me, okay?

A group of people left Baishui Street, all the way to the north, along the road, the street gradually became wider, the houses along the street, although old, but no longer as dilapidated as Baishui Street, about two tea kung fu, along the road became a lot of people, lively. One or two hundred meters ahead, a gatehouse appeared on the wide street, and above it, there was a huge plaque, standing above the street, with the words "Nan'anfang City" written on it.

The street is about three or four zhang wide, the ground is all square, about two feet wide bluestone slabs paved, there are some pavilions on both sides, all kinds of wine shops are lined up in turn, the men, women and children on the street are neatly dressed, from time to time there are some brocade boys, and women in flowery green long skirts, slowly look around the street, and the scene of Baishui Street is really very different.

Qin Yulang asked, "Wang Wu, do you know the places in this market where you can buy horses and dragon horses?"

Wang Wu replied: If it is an ordinary horse, there is a chariot and horse shop in Fang City. If you want to buy Ryoma, you need to go to a place like the Elixir Hall. Adult dragon horses belong to the first-class demon beasts, and only a place like the Elixir Hall has the strength to sell demon beast mounts like dragon horses. Walk about two hundred meters further on, and you will find the Elixir Hall.

Qin Yulang said: "Then let's buy a few dragon horses to hurry, this year's rookie competition is about to start, and this matter cannot be delayed." ”

According to the routine system of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Yulang is the county king of Wuwei County, and the entire Wuwei County is Qin Yulang's fief. This seems to be somewhat powerful, but in essence, it is not, although Wuwei County belongs to his fiefdom, it is also a courtier of the king, not a retainer of Qin Yulang. The county guard is in charge of the security of a county, taxes, money and grain stores, official promotions, etc., that is to say, as long as it is not a border barracks, it is under the jurisdiction of the county guard, and the capital guard is under the jurisdiction of the county guard, as long as it is related to the military force of the barracks, it is under the control of the capital guard.

In addition to these two places, there is another important place, that is, the dynasty has built a place called "Qin Wutang" at all levels such as prefectures, counties, and cities, which is responsible for the selection, teaching and cultivation of martial artists, and the place for the selection and training of talents for the dynasty, with cultivation and mysticism as the main task.

These three places are where the military, government, and military forces in various places are located. Lord County Shoufu, Lord Metropolitan Protector, Lord Qin Wutang, here are the three giants in the bright face of the world.

For example, the annual rookie selection competition is held by the "Qin Wutang" in various places. And the county guard mansion, the capital guard mansion, and the sect forces at all levels in the territory will also participate. The outstanding talents in the rookie game will be divided among these forces. And the rookie martial artists who participated in the competition were also to show themselves, enter the cultivation of major forces, and obtain greater resources and support.

On the same day, Qin Yulang met Feng Qingru on Wuwei County Street and was chased and killed by Nai He Tang, and came to the rescue, but he listened to Tang Danzun's persuasion and wanted to go to the Duhu Mansion and visit the Duhu Lord.

Qin Yulang has always been indifferent to power, and has not had much contact with the officials of Wuwei County, Tang Danzun has repeatedly persuaded him, and once said that even if you don't care about secular rights, you need to understand most of the core of the county in order to protect yourself. Think about it, if in a county under your own territory, the officials are all figures of other forces, then wouldn't it be precarious for you, as the prince of the county, to settle down on this ground and survive.

If your own territory is in the hands of other princes, then you, the prince of the county, will not be far from the fall of the Dao. When the dynasty sees this, it will not sympathize with you, but will only say that you are useless!
