Chapter 7: Spikes
On the upper floor of the main city, the leading official was silent when he looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and the incident happened suddenly, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he directly contacted the three masters arranged by the imperial court to investigate the matter together.
"Three masters, how is it?"
The three purple-shirted nuns holding swords in front were very carefully and carefully inspecting the corpses of the officers and soldiers of this team, including the things they were carrying, and when they happened to check the officers and soldiers, there were two bottles of bamboo tubes containing special pills, and the three nuns secretly cursed and threw the things aside.
"Amitabha..."
There are no useful clues, the deceased was pierced through the head by a powerful sharp object, I can't see what kind of martial arts it is, it's not clear if it's a demon or not, and the three nuns don't have any useful suggestions, just hope that the leading officials will continue to investigate the traces of the demons.
In fact, these are perfunctory words...
The imperial court is clear about the situation in this city in front of him, not to mention the local officials in charge of the siege, if they really want to make up their minds to exterminate it, I am afraid that they will have to pay a very tragic price, so they will mainly trap Wuchuan and cut it off from the other five towns.
Over the years, the six towns have been constantly penetrated by the Demon Gate, Wuchuan has been the most affected, and in the past few years, under the background of the Demon Rise and Elimination of the Northern Land, the imperial court decided to start from Wuchuan to cut off the connection between the Six Towns and the Demon Gate in order to avoid the Demon Gate from continuing to sit large.
The next hundred years will belong to the era of demons, and all the major factions in the world choose to escape from the world, because they are afraid of facing this group of demon people in this era, and only a few people such as them choose to go against the sky to fight against the devil.
In the face of such a crisis, the Son of Heaven of the Northern Dynasty today tried his best to preemptively send the imperial army to besiege Wuchuan.
"Now there are no clues, there is no point in searching, not to mention that since the day is unstoppable, it is better for us to follow the trend."
"Mrs. Shi..."
"Poor nun takes his leave."
Looking at the three sword-wielding nuns in the distance, several officials looked at each other: "What should I do next?" ”
"You keep looking for useful clues."
On the government side, they continued to send people to conduct targeted door-to-door searches, but they never found any useful information, and the only breakthrough may be the strange elixir found on several officers and soldiers.
The chief, who was a little helpless, rubbed his head: "Then check if there is anyone in Wuchuan City who can refine this medicine." ”
"Yes!"
Xia Wuhe, who didn't know that the government had shifted the direction of the investigation to himself, was about to boil some more porridge for his sister, but unexpectedly found that the old man Liu from the Chengdong Pharmacy was hurrying over.
"Oh, this is not Old Man Liu."
"Ah, Sister Qingling."
Sister-in-law Gu, who was cleaning up the sundries at the door, saw Old Man Liu calling her real name, and she was a little vigilant at once: "What are you doing here?" ”
"That kid helped me a lot a while ago, so I'm here to thank him."
"Hehe, you old boy has a bad stomach, I didn't warn you, don't just hit the two brothers and sisters of the Xia family."
"I naturally know the situation of the two brothers and sisters of the Xia family, don't worry."
While the two were talking, Xia Wuwu appeared slowly, he didn't expect that the wound medicine he had refined this time would be so attractive to Old Man Liu, and he even couldn't wait to come over.
"Old Liu, what are you?"
Seeing Xia Wuhe appear, Old Man Liu looked kind: "Yes, yes, when I settled last time, I undercounted some of the money, and here I make up for it." ”
Sister-in-law Gu saw the old man Liu who behaved like this, she felt uncomfortable, and goosebumps rose on her body, fortunately, this old boy's cultivation went wrong, and his strength was not strong, otherwise Sister-in-law Gu really didn't worry about him coming into contact with the Xia family brothers and sisters.
"I'm sorry about that."
Although he knew that the other party was not good, Xia Wuhe did not refuse to come, and directly accepted the money that Old Man Liu took over: "Next time there is such a good thing, remember to contact me." ”
This kid...
Forcibly suppressing the annoyance in his heart, when Old Man Liu didn't smile, his face wrinkled and twisted together: "Actually, I want to know, there is no medicine for the injury just now and you don't have any extra?" ”
"I'll need some more time to refine."
"Is there anything I need to prepare?"
Xia Wuhe shook his head: "I have my own way to deal with it, tonight is the day of the small test, and when my small test is over, I will help you refine new wound medicine." ”
Seeing that Xia Wuhe was adamant that he didn't have it now, Old Man Liu was not reluctant, and he was very reluctant to leave, so that Sister-in-law Gu couldn't understand it.
"What kind of medicine can make that old man look like this."
"I'll know when the next refining comes out, and I'm going to prepare for tonight's exam, so I still need to meditate for a while."
Referring to the evening exam, Sister-in-law Gu patted Xia Wuhe on the shoulder: "Come on, remember that if you meet that kid Zhang Shun, you will go all out to beat him flat, and in addition, Old Man Liu, you can go back early, for the time being, you can't worry about these boring little toys." ”
Boring little toys!?
What do you old woman know...
Old man Liu, who still wanted to refute a few words, saw Gu's sister-in-law's fierce appearance with her hands on her waist, Old Man Liu sighed, and only slipped back to his own pharmacy.
After sending Old Man Liu away, Sister-in-law Gu returned to her old expression and smiled: "You two remember, try your best to get a good ranking in this small test." This is important to you. ”
"Yes."
That night, in an underground secret room in Wuchuan City, dozens of children of all sizes, including Xia Wuhe's brothers and sisters, gathered in this martial arts arena, led by several village elders and Uncle Wang, Gu Sister-in-law and others had already arrived.
Xia Wuhe naturally also noticed Zhang Shun and his party, and the latter was very happy to see Xia Wuwu, but after seeing Xia Wuhe's smiling face in a blink of an eye, Zhang Shun was uncomfortable.
"This is the last small test in Wuchuan this year."
In this small test, the system has rewards, but Wuchuan City has no rewards, and Xia Wuhe doesn't understand that even if there is no reward for this group of children, the enthusiasm for participating in the competition is so high.
The villager in front of him is very capable and simple, directly according to the knockout mode one by one, the winner continues to the next round, after the first three competitions, he will point to Xia Wuhe's name, his opponent is Zhang Shun of the same age.
"Xia Wuhe? Is Xia Wuwu that waste brother? ”
"It is rumored that he has not made any progress in the past six years, hey, I'm afraid that even helping Xia Wuwu break away will not provide much value. As for Zhang Shun's strength, although it is so-so, it is enough to deal with Xia Wu. ”
In the whispers of several villagers, Xia Wuhe and Zhang Shun had already come to both sides of the martial arts arena.
Looking at Xia Wuji, Xia Wuwu's brother Xia Wuyi, Zhang Shun sneered: "I didn't expect that the first test this time was quite boring compared to you, it was too weak, too weak." ”
"yes, it's too weak."
"You guy..."
Xia Wuhe's expression was still indifferent, and his mind was now full of how to win without using the Ming Qi Martial Arts.
Seeing Xia Wuhe ignoring himself, Zhang Shun's face was ruddy, and the inner diameter of his whole body was condensed in a punch, and the six wonderful mystical sounds of cultivation turned into a whirlpool of air around the fist, attacking Xia Wuhe with extreme speed.
Such a strong explosive power made many villagers nod their heads, turning the magnetic field vortex power of Liumiao Xuanyin into actual combat means, Zhang Shun's qualifications are not bad.
At the moment when Zhang Shun was about to approach Xia Wuhe, countless cold qi around him formed a barrier and staggered, Xia Wuhe responded to Zhang Shun with the most simple tactics, and at that moment, the palm wind turned into a fierce frost, weakening the whirlpool on Zhang Shun's fist.
In the crisp voice, Zhang Shun's fist was covered with a layer of frost, and Xia Wuhe, who didn't give his opponent any buffer time, dodged and slapped it directly at his chest with one palm.
Bang!
With a muffled snort, after Zhang Shun's whole body was shrouded in ice, the whole person was directly knocked away and passed out.
Breaking the enemy with one move is almost an instant kill.
"So, it's too weak, too weak..."
