Chapter 11: The Catcher
The night in Lintong City was too quiet, so quiet that he could hear the sound of breathing, Qin Tian couldn't sleep, every time he thought of Xu Qitian and Chu Lu, his heart couldn't calm down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"After being with them for so many days, I left suddenly, and I really didn't feel comfortable, alas, I don't know when I will be able to see them again"
Qin Tian sat down cross-legged from the bed, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the contemplative aura in the air, although he was not a condenser at the moment, his daily cultivation still helped him to condense successfully. He exhaled and inhaled, slowly replacing the breath in his body with the outside world, from his mouth and throat to his lungs and liver...... After running like this for a few cycles, his whole body became lighter.
"Chu Lu's water washing technique has made my body less impurities, and my concentration speed has become much faster, according to this speed, I can concentrate successfully within a month."
He repeated it for a few more cycles, the cells of his whole body slowly relaxed in this exhalation, he touched the two jade pendants on his chest, and took it to his hand, these two jade pendants looked exactly the same, and both exuded a faint white light, and the two soft breaths were transmitted to Qin Tian's body along Qin Tian's palm.
"The current jade pendant can only protect myself when I am attacked, grandpa said, when I reach the master of condensation, I can borrow some of the power of the jade pendant"
"Grandpa said, borrowing the power of the jade pendant has nothing to do with personal talent, nor personal strength, it all depends on personal chance, and I am really looking forward to it! How much power can I Qin Tian get! In the early stage of Grandpa Divine Condensing Grandmaster, after gaining strength, I can kill a mid-stage power of Condensing Grandmaster with one arrow, after I reach the Condensing Master, what stage of great power can I shoot with one arrow?"
"Grandpa once taught me a martial art I learned from the jade pendant, I think it seems like I haven't used it for a long time!
He was about to put away the two jade pendants, but he saw the wide-eyed little squirrel sitting opposite him, and the little squirrel's eyes were motionless, staring at the two jade pendants in his hand. He moved the jade pendant up, and the little squirrel's head moved upward, and he moved the jade pendant down, and the little squirrel's head moved downward, but the little squirrel's head moved with the jade pendant, but its small body never moved, so looking at it, the little squirrel looked extremely funny.
Qin Tian saw that the little squirrel was so fascinated, stretched out his right hand and touched its little head, put away a piece of jade pendant, and put another piece of jade pendant at the feet of the little squirrel, and murmured: "I don't have any relatives in my life, Xiao Song, you are my relatives, and we will depend on each other for our lives in the future."
The little squirrel didn't hear his words, his eyes just stared at the jade pendant under his feet, Qin Tian didn't care, he jumped up, pushed open the door, the courtyard of the inn was covered with white moonlight, as if everything was sunk in the water formed by the moonlight, there was a bamboo in the yard, and the bamboo leaves slowly shook under the breeze, a piece of peace.
"There are only bamboo leaves here, so let's use this bamboo leaf as a grab! After all, I am not particularly good at this popular grappler" Qin Tian thought so, and gently kicked the bamboo.
This bamboo was kicked by Qin Tian, and the five bamboo leaves slowly fell downward, Qin Tian's eyes gathered, he took a few steps back, and grabbed his right hand backwards, the bamboo leaves were originally in front, but they all disappeared under Qin Tian's grasp. Qin Tian spread out his palm, and the five bamboo leaves were all on his right hand.
"The speed at which this bamboo leaf falls is too slow, even if I go around in a circle, but it is still slow, the enemy will not be so slow, if it is practiced with this bamboo leaf, my speed will not be improved at all, the wind grappling hand pays attention to a fast word, if I can't get this fast word, I must not be able to compare to the wind"
At this moment, the little squirrel bit the jade pendant in his mouth, and jumped in front of Qin Tian from the room, Qin Tian bent down and took the jade pendant, and the little squirrel jumped on his shoulder.
Qin Tian suddenly remembered the wisdom shown by the little squirrel when he gave him steamed buns last time, he turned his head and glanced at the little squirrel, nodded slightly, and said, "Xiao Song, can you climb on that bamboo, and you will help me shake the bamboo later."
The little squirrel showed a puzzled look in his eyes, Qin Tian pointed to the bamboo, walked in front of the bamboo, and shook the bamboo with his hand, the little squirrel squeaked excitedly, it flicked its tail, climbed onto the bamboo, swayed left and right, and the bamboo leaves slowly fell one by one under its shaking.
Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction, walked ten steps away from the bamboo, and said secretly: "At this distance, it will take me time to run over, plus the time to prevent the bamboo from falling to the ground, I can hone my speed."
In this way, the little squirrel shook the bamboo and shook it happily, Qin Tian took the bamboo leaves and constantly practiced the speed of his popular grappling hands, one person and one squirrel tossed for one night, and for a whole night, the two of them shook the bamboo leaves on the three bamboos in the entire yard.
In the morning, the innkeeper saw the bamboo leaves all over the ground, and hurriedly reported it to the shopkeeper, who came to Qin Tian's room with a questioning expression.
"Guest officer, the three bamboos in the courtyard are unrecognizable, you should give me an explanation, each of my bamboos was bought for one or two silver, you need to pay me three taels of silver"
Qin Tian sighed a little tiredly, and said, "Shopkeeper, I slept well in the room last night, I don't know what happened to the bamboo you said?"
"Guest officer, there was no strong wind last night, and it is impossible for the bamboo leaves full of trees to fall without even a single one."
Hearing this, the little squirrel jumped up and down, covered his belly, and made a laughing appearance, the shopkeeper looked at the little squirrel, his face was so angry that he couldn't pick up, and said: "Guest officer, I think I have guessed that this little squirrel did it, if you can't give me an explanation, I will definitely take it to see the official."
Qin Tian spread his hands helplessly, glanced at the little squirrel, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, do you think we can discuss something?" I can compensate you three taels of silver, but you have to take care of our breakfast."
"Both?"
"Yes, it's just me and this little guy" Qin Tian pointed at the little squirrel, and when the little squirrel saw Qin Tian pointing at it, it quickly jumped on Qin Tian's shoulder and sat down.
The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Tian, after a night of tossing, Qin Tian's face was not good-looking, coupled with the thrifting habit that Qin Tian had always cultivated, he was wearing the most inferior clothes.
The shopkeeper really didn't feel embarrassed about the slightly shabby and depressed two, nodded and said, "Okay then! I'll take care of your breakfast."
It's just that as soon as he said this, he quickly regretted it, because next he saw a terrifying scene, Qin Tian's meal was normal, and the two steamed buns were hastily distributed, but the little squirrel ate ten, what is the concept of ten, the average big man can only eat three, the shopkeeper is unimaginable, the little squirrel's big fart body can eat ten steamed buns, in his opinion, these ten steamed buns are stacked taller than the little squirrel, and the volume is larger than the little squirrel.
He's lived so long, he's never seen anything so edible.
Qin Tian felt accustomed to it, he knew the amount of food of the little squirrel, when he was in Niutouzhai, everyone was shocked by this little guy, a large pot of beef was easily swallowed by the little squirrel. This time, the shopkeeper's loss was big, and the three taels of silver earned by the three bamboos were forcibly divided by the twelve steamed buns.
There are four steamed buns for every tael of silver, and the price of these twelve steamed buns is exactly three taels of silver. The shopkeeper couldn't find trouble with these two, after all, he said that he would pack breakfast, but fortunately these two did not stay at the inn, and left the inn early in the morning and went straight to the north.
Qin Tian sat on the big horse, and the little squirrel sat on his shoulder, burped, and fell asleep standing with his eyes squinted.
"The next stop is Tianji City, the official road here is much wider, and there are more people" Qin Tian looked at the many carriages and the crowd of people coming and going next to him.
From time to time, a teenager the size of him rode a big horse galloping by, and many teenagers sat in the carriage and looked at these teenagers riding big horses.
"You see that this person also went to Tianji City to study, a poor sour family who has not yet succeeded in concentrating still wants to learn from a teacher"
"People now, they don't have self-knowledge, and anyone can do it all the way? Poor children, go home and harvest the crops! Autumn harvest is coming" A shrill voice came from behind Qin Tian.
Two young men the same size as him rode on big horses, followed by two old men, both of whom exuded not weak condensation fluctuations, and Qin Tian could vaguely see that there was a pale orange light circulating on the two old men.
These are the two old men in the early stage of the Meditation Master.
The young man on the left let out a soft snort, glanced at Qin Tian contemptuously, and said, "What are you talking about, the autumn harvest is over, the crops are harvested, if you don't go back to harvest the crops, the grain will be rotten, child, don't dream."
"The three major academies of Tianji City don't accept mediocre talents, don't think about it, if you want to have an identity or not, if you want strength or not, hurry up and go home and farm!" The young man on the right followed the young man on the left, and the big horse neighed, and he quickly moved forward.
The two old men behind them also galloped past Qin Tian quickly, and when they passed by Qin Tian, they also let out a disdainful snort, and when the four of them gradually walked away, Qin Tian still heard their chatter and laughter.
"This kind of waste is only worthy of working in my family for a lifetime, and I dare to come to cultivate the truth"
"He's just wishful thinking, if he can enter Tang Tower Academy like this, I'll kneel ****"
"I heard that this year's Tangta Academy is not the most difficult to enter, but this year's most difficult to enter is the Shrine Academy."
"Hahaha, whatever! Anyway, I'm applying for the Shrine Academy this year, and this time I took my family's token, so I should be able to be chosen."
Qin Tian listened to the conversation between the two, his expression was not the slightest unnatural, did he listen to the cynicism less? He was used to the cynicism of others, he knew that it was useless for him to care, even if others would not say it in front of him, he would say it behind his back.
There is only one way to silence others, and that is to prove that you are better than them with your strength.
Qin Tian clenched his fists fiercely, and said secretly: "Uncle said that there are many ways to enter the Shrine Academy, among which using strength to conquer the examiner is the most common way, try not to use it if you can enter the academy without his letter, I must not use his letter this time, I want to use my strength to tell the examiner that I am ...... Yes, I'm Tian Qing next."
