Chapter 37: Temporary Stability
Wei Xi took advantage of the bandaged face to make a small opening, and the peach blossom brew poured into his mouth, and after a circle, it fell through his throat and into his stomach, bringing a trace of warmth to his tired and wounded body. There is a beloved wife sleeping in the room behind him, a brother in the courtyard next to him recuperating from his injuries, and Yue Mangong by his side, this moment is probably the most comfortable moment for Wei Xicheng.
Yue Mangong had always been drunk, and he didn't know why he was drinking tonight, but he seemed to be happy. This man, who was the prince of a country, seemed to have received a rare indulgence beside Wei Xicheng, and while he was grunting and not knowing what he was saying, he circled around the pillar, rolled on the ground, and even put his head in the corner of the wall and did not know what he was doing.
Couldn't have been more drunk.
Now, Yue Mangong waved his hands and kept punching into the air, punch after punch, each punch hit the air, but he never had the intention of stopping. Every time he came out, he said, "I don't think it works", and when he said it more than 20 times, Wei Xicheng picked up: "What can't you do?"
Yue Mangong didn't reply, just punched himself while talking to himself: "Those old things, I can't do it every day." This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you can do it, you can do it, you can do it, you are old, you are old, you are ......old, you are Alas......" As soon as he spoke of the country, he suddenly stopped his movements, stood there and sighed, and did not say anything.
He didn't speak, Wei Xicheng naturally didn't speak, one was the prince of the fierce and the other was the grass people in the market, and they didn't seem to have any common topics. Yue Mangong sighed for a while over there and saw that Wei Xicheng didn't talk, so he stopped sighing and walked towards Wei Xicheng, and said as he walked: "Brother Wei, are we friends?"
"Of course. Although Wei Xicheng also drank, his mind was still sober, so he responded: "How can we not be friends after living and dying together?"
Yue Mangong walked over, and then squatted down beside Wei Xicheng with a "poof". Wei Xicheng handed him a wine, but he didn't answer, but he just looked at the starless night sky, and his tone was gloomy: "You say, how difficult it should be to manage a country?"
Wei Xicheng didn't answer, after all, this matter could be said to be quite far away from him.
"You say, is it going to be difficult to run a declining country?"
Wei Xicheng still didn't answer, after all, first of all, he himself had never managed any country, and secondly, the country of the fierce has never decayed, and he didn't even know what a decaying country looked like, so how could he talk about management?
"You say, the country of the fierce is standing under the dangerous wall of annihilation, what should I do?" he Yue Mangong said this sentence in an extremely calm and even cold tone, without the slightest fluctuation in his emotions, as if he was telling "Zhang San's dog died" or "Li Si's cat gave birth to another litter of cubs".
It's scary.
The words of this honorable prince reached Wei Xicheng's ears, and he was frightened as if the monarch was in distress. "Prince, don't listen to the villain's slander, you must not talk nonsense!" With that, he quickly looked around with his two eyes exposed outside the bandage to make sure that there was no one else around. After all, if this kind of thing reaches the ears of the monarch, even if Yue Mangong is not punished for the great crime of "gullible slander", his status in the eyes of the monarch will drop a lot.
"Heh......" seems to be self-deprecating, and Yue Mangong, who is drunk, seems to have fluctuated emotionally. He rubbed his face with his hands and then said, "Do you remember the technique of national fortune that Qisheng said?"
"The art of national fortune? The monk sealed a phoenix and a luan in the bodies of a pair of boys and girls to protect the country of the fox for a long time...... "Wei Xicheng quickly remembered what Qisheng had said, but after he remembered it, he became more and more afraid, and his voice became smaller and smaller. If what Qisheng said is true, then the country of the fierce is probably really a little dangerous.
"That's right, the monk of Huliu used the Luan Bird and the Phoenix Bird that were sealed into the body of the boy and girl to protect the national fortune, but you also know that at this time, the phoenix bird is dead and the Luan Bird flies away from the national capital to protect the national fortune...... It's already disintegrated......"
Although they behaved quietly and abnormally, at this time, Yue Mangong and Wei Xicheng's hearts had already turned up monstrous waves. Although the thing "luck" is illusory, it is actually an absolutely important thing for a country. The "Son of Heaven" is known as the Son of Heaven, but he was born by the fortune of heaven, and how can a "Son of Heaven" who is not protected by the fortune of heaven be able to control a country?
What would become of a country that had lost its luck, Wei Xicheng didn't dare to imagine, and Yue Mangong couldn't imagine it. It seems that the road ahead is bound to become extremely difficult.
I don't know how long it took, but the silence in the air was broken by a loud bang. Yue Mangong's muscles tensed in an instant, as if a delicate machine had suddenly awakened, and his training and teaching did not allow him to pause for even a second before reacting when he received a danger signal. Therefore, when Wei Xicheng found out that there seemed to be an intruder, Yue Mangong was ready to fight.
But in the depths of this court, how could there be invaders?
As Yue Mangong looked in the direction of his gaze, Wei Xicheng was also stunned: in the depths of the palace of the country of the fierce man, here, someone actually came by digging through the palace wall. Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, the wall of the courtyard he was in had been broken at this moment, and every piece of masonry had been shattered without exception, raising layers of smoke.
Wei Xicheng was very uneasy at the moment. What he could clearly feel was that the aura of the person standing in the layers of smoke was very strong, and he even faintly sensed that the other party might have surpassed him. The wall had been broken but the other party did not choose to attack immediately, could it be that there was some kind of plan? But the hint of familiarity revealed in the power made him feel a little surprised.
Before he could think about it, something even more terrifying happened: within a radius of a hundred meters that Wei Xicheng could feel, several more powerful but different auras suddenly appeared. Those feminine or rough or bookish atmospheres all have one characteristic in common that makes him tremble: powerful and abnormal.
Before the battle began, layers of cold sweat oozed from Wei Xicheng's body. Is this where a country's strength and heritage lie? There are so many masters hidden in the palace. The country of the relentless is already like this, what about the tyrants, the prisoner cows, and the mocking wind?
I can't imagine it.
Those powerful breaths were about to move, and it seemed that they were about to attack. Among them, a breath rose into the sky, revealing an aura that was about to tear the enemy apart in the next second, but Yue Mangong stopped this momentum with a wave of his hand. I don't know when Yue Mangong's tense expression has receded, and there seems to be a faint smile on his face. After he made the gesture of retreating, those powerful breaths receded like flowing water. Coming and going like the wind, it is really the true character of a master.
Yue Mangong shouted at the dusty and ruined courtyard wall, "Brother, it seems a little unauthentic to joke like this, right?"
Brother, now I changed to Wei Xicheng and was puzzled. Could it be that there were other friends of Yue Mangong living in the palace at this time, but they didn't know about it? But no, if it was a friend, how could they destroy the courtyard wall at will, and it was impossible for Yue Mangong to really mingle with such a person? Before Wei Xicheng could think about it, with the sound of a few coughs, a figure in the pile of dust slowly walked out, and said as he walked: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...... I didn't expect it to be like this......"
What the man said was not surprising to Wei Xicheng, but that face surprised Wei Xicheng. Isn't this person exactly the ninth and a half who is still recovering? The face is matched, but the body seems to be a little wrong? At this moment, the man in his eyes has more than seven feet of cultivation, and at this moment he is almost naked except for a somewhat tattered white cloth around his waist, but it is this lack of hanging that shows the benefits of being naked: if a man with a full and muscular body and sharp edges stands in front of you naked, you may also feel that it is delicious.
Yue Mangong didn't care about the fact that he destroyed the palace wall, after all, what was the value of a wall to the royal nobles? Not to mention that if the destruction of a wall was exchanged for the recovery of his brother's body, in his opinion, it was worth it greatly. The man, who was the prince of a country, stepped forward and glanced at the white cloth on Jiuhan's body very unvividly, and then threw a "you know" expression at him, and after getting Jiuhan's embarrassed response, he punched the latter in the chest and said: "You kid, it's good to be in good health, and you still demolish my house, what's the matter, are you not satisfied with me?"
"No, no!" Jiu Ban hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Absolutely nothing! I don't know what's going on with this wall, and I didn't expect it to be unable to withstand even a punch." ”
Indeed, what Nine Halves didn't lie about was that the wall was almost blown into powder by his punch, but what he didn't say was that the reason he slammed his punch on the wall was because he saw a blank piece of paper, and that paper was only ten words on it.
"You and I are clear, and we will never see each other. Ah Luan. ”
It was a text left by Ah Luan, and Jiu Ban knew that although Ah Luan had helped him a lot in his battle with Qisheng, she still didn't mean to forgive him, and they might not have a chance to see each other in this life.
Yue Mangong didn't know about these things, and he didn't want to know. After Jiu Ban said a few words to Wei Xicheng on the side, Yue Mangong pestered Jiu Ban to ask him to tell him what he had experienced, after all, a person who was not too strong before had such an amazing performance after a serious injury, which really surprised Yue Mangong. Although Jiu Ban didn't want to reveal too much, he still couldn't stand Yue Mangong's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and said all the things that he could remember in his consciousness after killing Qisheng, but he deliberately concealed everything about borrowing the sky, not that he didn't want to say it, but the matter of borrowing the sky was too huge, and if it was known to those who had a heart, I was afraid that there would be another disaster.
After all, if you want to live well in this world, you can't hurt people, but you can't prevent people from knowing.
After listening to Jiu Ban's words, Yue Mangong was even more puzzled, and he scratched his head while saying, "If you say so, could it be that you inherited his skills after killing Qisheng?"
"Maybe so, I don't know. At this time, Jiuhan didn't dare to say it in detail, and if one sentence was wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yue Mangong didn't care about Jiu Ban but thought about it there for a while, and then asked again, "Jiu Ban, can you show me the qi in your body?" This time, he looked serious.
"Gas, how to do it?" Speaking of anger, in fact, Jiu Ban was also confused. After all, he had not experienced systematic cultivation, so he knew almost nothing about it, and in addition, he was mentally stressed almost every day these days, and the classics in his mind had almost forgotten a little. Although he knew what Yue Mangong was angry about, he still didn't understand how to do it and how to do what Yue Mangong said.
"What? You don't understand?" Yue Mangong didn't expect that Jiu Ban didn't even know this, so after some teaching, Jiu Ban finally sorted out the vigorous aura in his body and began to circulate.
Qi begins in the dantian, passing through the second vein of Ren Du through the small Zhou Tian, circulating throughout the body. After understanding the method, Jiuhan's body began to flow smoothly like a new precision machine, and soon passed the adaptation period and began to flow more and more rapidly.
Wei Xicheng can be said to be an old man, although the age is not scary, but the experience and experience are above many people. As a disciple of the Wanderer Wang Shiyou, he had naturally seen many predecessors, but some of the things that Jiuhan showed in front of his eyes at this moment, although he didn't say that he could surpass any senior, but it really shocked his own heart. Nine-and-a-half, a young man, just a prince of a dead country, can reach such an unparalleled leap in strength after a battle, almost equivalent to a rebirth of Nirvana, how can it not be amazing?
How terrifying is the nine-and-a-half qi? If you count it in terms of volume, it is infinitely close to the level of a saint.
Feeling the terrifying power contained in the body of this peer in front of him, Yue Mangong was a little shocked and speechless. Is it the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate? Isn't it a little too terrifying! He forcibly swallowed the surprise that was about to burst out in his heart, and slowly swallowed his saliva and said, "Nine and a half you...... What kind of monster the hell is it?"
Of course, Nine and a Half knew what kind of monster he was. He is a man who borrows from heaven, a man who changes his life against heaven, and a man who disobeys God. The terrifying thing about borrowing heaven is not only that it can change its personality, but also that every time it absorbs a "person of the same kind", the nine-and-ahalf body will accept everything about the other party, including exercises and abilities. Previously, when he killed Sanqian, Jiuhan had the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, and now after absorbing everything from the worshippers, Jiuhan has an extraordinary and almost unimaginable ability: the ability to absorb faith. Therefore, if you have to be more serious, Jiuhan is not that his own skills have reached the level of a saint, but that after being blessed by the power of faith, he was born with the physique of a saint.
Everyone doesn't want to lose at the starting line, but some people are born with a starting line close to the finish line, what can you do?
Ignoring the surprise on Yue Mangong's face, Jiu Ban was still not happy after retracting his breath, and swung a few more punches into the air, and while swinging his fist, he muttered, "It's not fun." "Not fast enough. ”
While listening to the whirring wind in his ears, Wei Xicheng said with some amazement: "Fast enough, fast enough, you are about to catch up with me in the ninth half." ”
"I don't think so. ”
"But I think it's okay!" Wei Xicheng's reaction seemed to be a little excessive, and the excitement mixed with some inexplicable emotions seemed a little inappropriate in his words, but fortunately, Jiu Ban didn't care about these and still waved his fist excitedly. The fist became faster and faster, and the fist wind became more and more fierce, and in the end, the shadow of the fist was not even visible.
At this time, Yue Mangong, who was in a daze just now, finally reacted, he walked up to Jiu Ban and stretched out his hands to him and said, "Jiu Ban, give me your arm." ”
Almost without any hesitation, Jiu Ban handed his left arm to Yue Mangong. And Yue Mangong didn't say anything, he held his left arm with both hands, and then exerted his strength with both arms, injecting a warm current into his body, and began to probe inch by inch. Injecting one's own internal force into the opponent's body, supplemented by a special technique to probe is called "phase bone". "Phase bone" is not an advanced technique or technique, it is just to determine a person's body structure by exploring inch after inch of skin and bones, and most of them are used to explore a person's natural aptitude. But as long as it is something created by a person, there will be a distinction between superior and inferior, and the technique used by Yue Mangong for the nine-and-a-half phase bone is obviously the secret technique of Ouchi.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a quarter of an hour, Yue Mangong let go of Jiuhan's left arm with a drenched hot sweat, but his face was also full of smiles. Before he had time to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, Yue Mangong smiled and said to Jiu Ban:
"Nine-and-a-half, congratulations, your qualifications are one in ten thousand!"
