Chapter 60: The Sympathetic Sword Duel of Heaven and Man
Dongsheng City.
Liu Kui led a group of dart masters in the dart board to complete the settlement with the guys of the employer's family, and the dart was finally completed smoothly without danger.
In order to express his gratitude, the employer also specially gave some more silver taels as a reward for saving more than a dozen lives in the Fuwei Dart Bureau.
Liu Kui was also secretly glad that if Lin Wanqing hadn't taken in Qu Wuming on the road, I am afraid that it would have been a different ending long ago. It just so happened that Dongsheng City was also a big city, and I was happy, so I proposed to give everyone a three-day holiday in situ, so that everyone could rest and relax.
Now, Qu Wuming's external injuries have healed, and she couldn't resist Lin Wanqing's kind invitation, so she accompanied her to leave the inn where she was staying to go out for a walk, and soon came to a street called "Wan Jiahui".
Wanjiahui is the largest commercial street in Dongsheng City - the whole street is about two miles long from east to west, with dense shops on both sides, row upon row, from restaurants, restaurants to theaters, green buildings, from cloth shops, grain stores to jewelry stores, auction houses, almost all-encompassing, all-encompassing. In addition to these fixed storefronts, there is also a small square called "Minsheng Square", which is purely used for small traders to set up their stalls, and it is even more bustling with people.
Lin Wanqing walked in the market, holding a string of sugar gourds in one hand, and a small bamboo basket on his wrist, which contained a pair of rabbit-like dolls, looking at the surrounding vendors with bright eyes, excited like an eight or nine-year-old girl, and behind her, Qu Wuming was carrying seven or eight bulging bags in both hands, and two on his back, all of which were things that Lin Wanqing bought along the way......
"Brother Qu, come and see this! This candy man is so beautiful! Lin Wanqing came to a candy blower's stall, watched a ball of golden caramel continue to deform in the stall owner's hand, and soon was blown into a cute little pig, and hurriedly turned around to greet Qu Wuming to see.
"If you like it, buy it." Along the way, Qu Wuming said the most was this sentence.
"Okay! Uncle, how much is this? β
"Two texts."
"Give!" Lin Wanqing paid the money, happily took the little pig, turned around and ran away without a name, but Leng Buding collided with a thin little man.
The little man didn't expect Lin Wanqing to look weak, but she was as steady as a wall, and her shoulder hurt when she hit her, so she couldn't help but take two steps back, and after standing firm, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry!" He turned and slid into the crowd.
"Strange ......" accidentally bumped into someone, Lin Wanqing just wanted to apologize, but when she saw that the person said sorry and ran away, she was stunned and didn't think about it anymore, and walked towards Qu Wuming, "Brother Qu, look!" β
Who knows, Qu Wuming had a strange look on his face, and he snorted at her waist and said, "Your jade pendant." β
"My jade ......" Lin Wanqing hurriedly lowered her head and touched her waist when she heard this, before the word "Pei" came out, she had already found that the jade pendant on her waist was gone, and she looked at Qu Wuming with a surprised face.
"Over there!" Qu Wuming didn't say much, and nodded in the direction where the thin man had fled before.
"Dare to steal from me!" Lin Wan snorted coldly, picked up everyone and chased after him, Qu Wuming saw this, he seemed to smile helplessly and shook his head, and followed with a large bag.
When Qu Wuming caught up with Lin Wanqing and came to a somewhat secluded alley, Lin Wanqing had already knocked the thin man to the ground and recaptured what belonged to her.
"Brother Qu, do you want to send him to the official mansion?" Lin Wan said with a snort.
"These people are all habitual offenders, and the things they stole are not worth a fortune," Qu Wuming shook his head and said, "Send them to the yamen and close them for a few days at most." That's it. β
"Humph!" Lin Wanqing kicked the thin man in the stomach and kicked him into the depths of the alley, "Let me meet you next time, I won't spare you!" β
The thin man was kicked so much that he almost vomited last night's meal, knowing that he had encountered hard stubble, where did he dare to resist, and seeing that the other party really no longer pursued himself, he hurriedly covered his stomach and fled.
The appearance of the thin man affected Lin Wanqing's good mood: "Brother Qu, you said that these people have sound limbs and good health, why don't they go to find a serious businessman, but they want to steal?" β
Qu Wuming said: "Those who steal for a living are nothing more than greed and laziness." I want to have endless money, but I don't bother to make money, and I can't rob other people's money, so I have to steal it. β
Lin Wanqing was amused by Qu Wuming's explanation, and Fang Cai's displeasure was also reduced a lot: "Then it shouldn't be like this, if what they stole was the only little life-saving money that others had, wouldn't it be murdering for money?" β
"The kind of thing you said does happen from time to time, especially those who steal near the hospital and pharmacy, and it can be regarded as a loss of conscience." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "But there are many helpless things in this world, and not every time there is a chance to recover the money and bring these thieves to justice." β
When Lin Wanqing heard this, a melancholy look flashed in her eyes, and she sighed and said: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I really wish that I can walk the rivers and lakes, so that all these mountain bandits and thieves I encounter can change their ways and return to righteousness, so that innocent people will not be harmed by them again." β
Qu Wuming shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid your wish is a little naΓ―ve, and it will never come true." β
Lin Wanqing lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "Well, I know." β
Qu Wuming didn't notice the sadness that flashed on Lin Wanqing's face, and then said: "With your skills, you can go to many places in the future. It's just that it is far easier to let all the bandits who are accustomed to getting something for nothing change their ways, and I am afraid it is far easier to let them reincarnate and start over. β
"Well, it's me thinking too much."
Lin Wanqing showed a far-fetched smile on her face, but she sighed to herself in her heart: "Walking the rivers and lakes may not be able to do it, why do you think about ......the future?"
The episode of the thief in the bazaar was quickly left behind by the two, and seeing that the time was almost noon, Qu Wuming carried a large bag of things and accompanied Lin Wanqing to a restaurant that looked quite good.
"Brother Qu, it should be very expensive here, right?" Lin Wanqing looked at the plaque with gilded characters at the door of the restaurant, and couldn't help but stop and asked in a low voice.
"This Wenlan Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Dongsheng City, and the food is the most authentic. Since you are here, you naturally want to eat the best in the local area, right? Qu Wuming explained as he stepped forward.
The shopkeeper, who had already greeted him, naturally heard Qu Wuming's words, and the smile on his face looked much happier, and he hurriedly took over the conversation and greeted: "This guest officer is really on point!" Our Wenlan Restaurant has the best chefs within a radius of 100 miles, and the roast mutton in our restaurant is a must in Dongsheng City! Two, please! β
Xiao Er led Qu Wuming and the two to a dining table by the window on the second floor, and poured them tea diligently. Qu Wuming unceremoniously ordered six or seven dishes, such as roast lamb shank, grilled lamb chops, and mashed potatoes with shallots, many of which are the most distinctive local delicacies.
Waiting for the shopkeeper to leave happily with the menu, Lin Wanqing asked, "Brother Qu, there are only two of us, how much can we eat?" β
"If you can't eat it, take it away, take it back to the inn and heat it, and give your second uncle Liu a taste at night." Qu Wuming said with a smile, "The food here tastes very good, but the price is also very beautiful, under normal circumstances, it is estimated that they will not come here to eat." β
"That's true. If it weren't for Brother Qu saying that he must invite me to eat here," Lin Wanqing looked at the menu and nodded, "After I read the menu, I'm afraid that no matter how embarrassing I am, I will find a way to slip away." β
"Haha, you can be regarded as my savior, let alone eating this, even if you are invited to eat something precious, it is nothing." Qu Wuming said with a smile.
The two were talking, and there were footsteps on the stairs next to them, but it was two people in light cyan robes who walked upstairs under the leadership of the shopkeeper.
"Two, this way, please!" Xiao Er took two steps and led the two to another table behind Lin Wanqing.
Qu Wuming's gaze swept over the two of them, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the pattern embroidered on the corner of the duo's robesβa black sword of inches in length.
"People from the Iron Sword Sect?" Qu Wuming felt a little strange in his heart, "The Iron Sword Sect is thousands of miles away from here, and these two have run far enough. β
The cultivation of the two people of the Iron Sword Sect was only around the peak of the Qi refining period, so they naturally became much more cautious in this crowded restaurant, especially when some important information was involved in the conversation, they were also changed to sound transmission and communication, so as not to be heard by the people next to them.
It's just that, just as they couldn't even notice that there was a god stage senior sitting at the next table, they had already been heard by someone who had secretly heard them, and they were also unaware of it.
"Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Technique?"
Although Qu Wuming is now mana and imprisoned, the power of his divine consciousness is still enough to crush these two people, and the things they transmitted and communicated have been transmitted into Qu Wuming's divine consciousness word for word. When he heard the name in the transmission of the two, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
It's not because I've never heard of this sword technique, but this sword technique is really famous.
To be exact, it was once very famous.
"Heaven and Man Sympathetic Sword Dueling", created by Anonymous more than 2,000 years ago. It is said that the person who created this sword technique was originally a cultivator in the void period, but after being injured by the enemy, his cultivation was completely wasted, and he became an ordinary person who could no longer cultivate. However, this person didn't know what adventures he had, and after some painstaking study, based on his thousands of years of cultivation and understanding, he created this "Heavenly and Human Sympathetic Sword Technique".
Legend has it that this sword technique is divided into two parts, the upper part is the inner strength of the heart, and the lower part is the sword technique.
Its internal strength is the "sympathetic work of heaven and man", which emphasizes the use of the sword as the guide, relying on the sword to enter the Tao, and finally reaching the supreme realm of the sympathy between heaven and man. Although this exercise is divided into nine layers, it is far from the nine-stage level of ordinary martial artists, and it is said that if the "Heaven and Man Sympathetic Skill" is cultivated to the fifth layer, its internal force level can already surpass the ordinary ninth stage of the Heavenly Pivot Realm martial artist and rival the realm of the grandmaster! If you cultivate to the ninth layer, even those in the middle stage of refining among the cultivators have the power to fight.
And the second half of the sword is the "divine sword duel", a total of thirteen moves, each move sword trick has thirteen changes, it is said that with the "heaven and man sympathetic power" after the sword, the move is extremely strong, the sword momentum is endless, it seems to be unpretentious, but the power is great, but it can kill the enemy outside the sword qi, it can be said that it is the strongest sword out, the gods and ghosts and immortals and Buddhas avoid!
However, Qu Wuming has always been skeptical of this rumor......
