Chapter 69: More Important Things
The news of Yang Ze's imminent exile swept through Shanglin City like a whirlwind.
As the day gradually approached, Yang Ze would sometimes go to the port to see the ship that was going to carry him to the earth. Sometimes it is necessary to add some necessities into it, so it is often seen that the people of the Hou Mansion of Qichun carry a box into Yang Ze's room on the ship, and the box contains some change of clothes, as well as the elixir extracted from the inner treasury of the Hou Mansion, among which there are healing wounds, restoring strength, and are of great benefit to the sea of qi. And so on and so forth and so on and so forth.
Yang Ze often stood on the side of the ship and checked the list, as if he was going to go on a leisurely trip instead of being exiled to the realm of the earth and the sea.
In addition, Yang Ze used his free time every day to practice the [Shield Body] exercises.
The shield body is an extremely rare exercise in the middle level of the artistic conception, and it is also a practice that is regarded as a treasure by some qi cultivators. In the eyes of many Qi cultivators, even some more advanced mystical divine techniques are not as good as the Zen Enlightenment One-Hand Shield Exercises.
Although many magicians have subtle abilities and attack techniques, because they spend too much time and energy on studying divine techniques, they almost ignore the exercise and improvement of their bodies, and their bodies are basically extremely weak. If they can comprehend the defensive surname technique of the shield, it is almost equivalent to protecting their lives!
In the same way, the exercises of the shield body are not so easy to understand. Generally speaking, this middle-level practice requires the cultivation of the earth and the Xuan realm to be roughly comprehended. And once learned, it is a rather powerful life-saving technique, enough to make any magician jealous. The shield body exercise is running, and it can protect the body with extremely strong true power in a short period of time, blocking the knife and axe slash. Generally speaking, sword cultivation of the same level requires more than three times the strength to break through the shield defense. You can imagine how tough it is.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Yang Ze swept out several hidden snow softness in his hand, wrapped the stone the size of a fist bowl on the ground, and then suddenly recovered. Zang Xue Rou Jin struck at him with flying stones.
At the moment when the stone hit his body, Yang Ze breathed inside, and a pale white semi-circular transparent cover was formed in mid-air. The flying stones slammed into the white air cover, and they shattered into countless pieces of stone dust one by one!
A heartbeat in time! The air shield disappears.
Yang Ze is surrounded by wisps of stone dust, and this picture is very impactful.
"Finally able to block it!" If he hadn't experienced the bruises on his body in many places these days, he wouldn't have been able to understand how happy Yang Ze was at this moment. The shield he currently has in his hands is capable of lasting two heartbeats. Although it can only be the introductory stage, it is extremely lame. However, you must know that it took him less than half a month to get this exercise from Yu Xiaoxiao's hands, and during this time, he had actually participated in the enlightenment and learned it, and I am afraid that countless people who could not enter the door would crash to death on the tofu.
On the boat boat of the Red Mansion, Yu Xiaoxiao's personal maid Xiaobi was a little surprised to see Yang Ze, who was now the absolute focus of Shanglin City, appear at the courtyard. Immediately, a wave of irritation appeared in the pair of smart eyes. Obviously, I still remember how Yang Ze humiliated her and everyone Yu in the day.
So naturally he didn't have a good face for Yang Ze, but he still took him to Yu's small reception room.
Sending Yang Ze into the room, Xiaobi glared at him fiercely. Yang Ze thought that he still endured it, after all, he was going to return the exercises today, otherwise he didn't know when he would be able to return the 1,300 gold pounds. It's not that he can't take advantage of the exile and leave, but he still has to worry about whether Yu Xiaoxiao will go directly to the door.
Yu Xiaoxiao sat in the living room, next to several famous singing and dancing girls in Shanglin City, Wang Ruirui, Zhao Xinxin, and Jiang Zhaozhao. They all looked at Yang Ze with great curiosity, obviously because of his bold actions. Even with Yang Ze's cheekiness, he still felt that under the gaze of these famous women and the eyes of great interest in him, he was a little embarrassed. In Pingyue, Yang Ze listened to Qi Jianlin and other dead friends boasting about how the songs and dances of the girls moved, but at this moment, he sighed inexplicably, this prosperous Shanglin City, he will also leave.
"You mean, you have no interest in this exercise, and it is still well preserved, and then you want me to take it back, and at the same time, you owe me 1,300 gold pounds, and you will write it off?" Yu Xiaoxiao held the ancient scroll in Yang Ze's hand on the seat, and slapped it on the palm of his right hand idly, with a stunned look in his words.
Several famous women in Shanglin hid their faces and smiled. Obviously, I have seen a lot of wealthy families, and no one is eager to show their generosity and generosity in front of Yu Xiaoxiao and them to show their courage.
It's rare to see something like Yang Ze.
Yang Ze was a little embarrassed by the smiling gazes of the women, and discussed, "I went back and took a closer look, and found that I was not interested in the exercises recorded on this ancient scroll. So after thinking about it these days, I finally decided to give it back to you. That way, you don't have to waste it, you can give it to other people, and I don't have to spend that money in vain. ”
Yu Xiaoxiao Qi laughed, "That's right, if the exercises are indeed intact, then there is nothing wrong with your proposal." It's just a pity that this exercise is no longer useful. Because you've already read him, don't you know that this kind of exercise for circulation and sales, once you turn to the last word and read it in its entirety, the prohibition on it will be activated. The handwriting of the entire exercise will be completely changed. Isn't it worthless?"
Yang Ze took back the ancient scroll thrown by Yu Xiaoxiao, and only at this time did he really unfold it and look at it, and he was immediately dumbfounded. It just became an ordinary notebook, and the exercises originally recorded on it were unrecognizable at some point. Yang Ze's comprehension of the exercises was gradually progressing, and when he finished reading the last word, he basically knew the content of the ancient scrolls. It is a kind of subtle sense of enlightenment, and the study of the ancient scrolls of the exercises does not need to rely on memorization, and memory cannot remember those contents, and you must understand it yourself. Once you have attained enlightenment, you will be able to understand it in your mind, and then you will be able to practice and study it on your own until you finally master the exercises.
So he didn't look back again, where did he know that the ban on the ancient scroll had been activated, and this shield body exercise had been completely tampered with and had become a penniless thing.
Seeing the women looking at him and grinning. Yang Ze finally knew that he couldn't hold back in the end in front of these famous women who had read countless people, so he spread his hands helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "The point is that I don't have so much money on hand now, how can I give it to you?"
His appearance is quite easy-looking and good-looking. made the women around him a little moved, thinking that if he was a Yu family, I am afraid that they would not be able to help but soften their hearts and reduce some of the quota for him.
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, smiled slightly, and said, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, but since you are about to go to Dihai, you can be lenient for a while." You can delay until you get back from Earthsea."
Yang Ze frowned slightly and raised his head, and saw Yu Xiaoxiao and said lightly, "So in order for my debt not to become a bad debt, you must be over there and live well." I've earned the gold back. ”
The women looked at Yang Ze with soft eyes.
Yang Ze could clearly feel the silence and pause between breaths, and he didn't know what to say next.
After a period of silence, Yang Ze was a little unaccustomed to this strange atmosphere, and then said, "When I just got upstairs and came to the boat, I saw a lot of people moving things outside, what's going on?"
"Because we're going to sea. So the boat was simple, and some people had to stay on the shore. Yu Xiaoxiao said lightly.
Yang Ze was stunned. "Where to go to sea?"
Immediately, he found that not only Yu Xiaoxiao, but also many women's eyes fell on him meaningfully.
After a while, he seemed to realize something. He muttered, "Could it be that you're going to go to Earthsea with me!?"
The women were stunned, then their faces flushed with reddish, and then they all giggled. The famous girl named Wang Ruirui smiled, "Yang Sanzi has a delicate face, I didn't expect your thoughts to be as beautiful as your little face!"
Yu Xiaoxiao also scolded with a smile, "The Red Mansion is indeed going to sea for you, but it is not to go to the sea with you, but to ensure that you enter the waterway to the sea safely and smoothly." A ship guarding you is much smaller than the disturbance caused by Da Ye sending a fleet of ships to escort you away, you should understand that the smaller the movement caused by letting you leave Shanglin, the better. ”
The dinner in the Qichun Marquis Mansion is full of people on the table together, the eldest uncle Yang Weiming, the second uncle Yang Yuanzheng, and the elders who like to teach Yang Ze the most in Pingyue, now they don't have those words of instruction, most of them are encouragement for his upcoming journey.
His father Yang Hongyuan and mother Cheng Ying were slightly gloomy. Sometimes Cheng Ying would wipe her tears at night, or stew chicken soup every day. Then bring it to him in the night.
When the chicken soup entered Yang Ze's room, he would take the trouble to advise, "When you go to Dihai, it is the first time you leave home, you have to listen to the teachings of Master Hanzang, Master Hanzang of the South Academy is the senior brother of the dean of the Autumn Dao Academy, and the method of cultivation is profound, with him accompanying you, your father and me, and your grandfather are also relieved." Even though Your Majesty has made you endure hardships in the past, it is extremely beneficial for you to experience and practice. But after all, it is the first time for you to leave home, and you still have to read more in life, take care of yourself, don't let us worry about you on the side of Shanglin. In three years' time, I hope you will have many achievements under Master Hanzo. It is a great honor to be able to fight for your father and grandfather to return to Shanglin City, and when the time comes, I will personally pick you up."
Although he knew that Yang Ze went out to practice, the benefits continued. There is even a teaching from Master Hanzo, and it is hardly much worse than the progress of the cultivation of the Autumn Dao Academy. However, every time she thinks that Yang Ze is about to leave, no matter how calm Cheng Ying is, she can't help but show reluctance.
Yang Ze would drink chicken soup in small sips every time, as if tasting the most delicious wine, and then chatted with Cheng Ying, chatting about interesting things when he was a child, talking about some ridiculous things in the past, and talking about what Cheng Ying was worried about him. Even Cheng Ying would inquire about his views on the two girls, Dong Xuan and Ji Ling'er.
Every now and then, Yang Ze drank the soup in a big gulp, and then sent Cheng Ying back to his room. But often he would stand there for a long time, until he saw Cheng Ying returning to the room, reflecting the lights and shadows projected on the window, whispering to Yang Hongyuan about Yang Ze, and finally turned off the lights. Yang Ze will return.
In the few days when he was about to leave Shanglin, Qi Jianlin invited Yang Ze out for dinner many times, and it is said that too many friends, and even many young ladies in Shanglin, were waiting to gather at a table with him, looking at Yang Ze, who has now almost become a legendary figure among the youth of Shanglin. It's just that maybe his legend has some image of a cup. is about to be exiled to Dihai, probably many people also remember Yang Ze's previous good times, rubbing his food, having been with him in Shanglin, fighting together, and witnessing the change of his surname.
So much so that too many people surrounded Qi Jianlin, asking him when he would be able to ask Yang Ze out to get together together, talk about the past and talk about life ideals, or talk about Lin Mingyuan Dong Xuan, Xituo Holy Maiden or something.
Qi Jianlin found Yang Ze to complain, "Now that people outside think that I can invite you out for a meal, you probably don't know that you have become the core and focus of the discussion among those sons and ladies in Shanglin." Do you still remember the two women I liked before, Miss Yue's family from the Shidafu Mansion, and Dong Xuan's best friend Zhang Cha'er, who took the initiative to find me for the first time and asked me to call you to the banquet. In the end, the most important key problem is that both of me have agreed, if I can't call you out, my image will not be guaranteed, and the second half of my life will be ruined once Yang Sanzi saves me!"
But Yang Ze finally refused. Qi Jianlin walked away with a disgraced face.
The reason why Yang Ze rejected Qi Jianlin was not that he wanted to make up his final preparations for the trip, or that he was unwilling to go to the banquet to face the onlookers of those young men and women in Shanglin.
It's that he has more important things to do than that.
Hide the crossbow in the robes. Hide the short three crossbow arrows in the inner bag of the leg pants. The waist is equipped with a Lingbao Tiger Talisman that can be used at any time, and a Luoyu spirit stone is hung. Wear a Boar's Gauntlet that increases strength
Yang Ze went out under the cover of night. He had something more important than anything to accomplish right now.
