Chapter 39: Xia Sichou returns
Two months later, spring began.
Xia Luo still didn't succeed in cultivating a furnace of elixir, but instead used more than half of the fireball talisman that had been accumulated for a long time.
In this regard, he can only accept his fate.
As usual, he practiced swords in the courtyard.
Because of Wei Changkong's guidance, his swordsmanship became more sophisticated.
I really don't know what his sword will become after practicing like this for a few more decades.
As he practiced, he stopped, and then smiled disdainfully.
Unmoving, he plucked a leaf, and then threw it in one direction.
In the next second, a scream rang out.
"Ah!!h
A figure fell from the wall and hit the ground hard.
"You kid, can't you see me directly when you come back? Do you have to make such a show? ”
Looking at the bitter man on the ground, Xia Luo shook his head and said sarcastically.
That's right, this person is Xia Sichou, who I haven't seen for many years.
Now Xia Sichou is already a big man, and he even has a beard on his chin, which is completely like an uncle.
"What you said is light, now this house has become someone else's place, after so many years, who still knows me, how can I get in?"
After saying that, he stood up while holding his buttocks.
At this time, he saw the leaves that had smashed him down, and his expression was shocked.
"You smashed me off with this leaf? Have you broken through to the Grandmaster? ”
"Or else? It's you, after so many years, you are still congenital. ”
Xia Luo smiled, then sat down in the pavilion, and set up tea and pastries by himself.
"If I can't cultivate, what can I do?"
After speaking, he sat up by himself and ate pastries while drinking tea.
If you can't cultivate, to put it bluntly, it's a matter of talent.
Talent is very confusing, and Xia Luo can't say it well.
This is true of the martial arts, and the same is true of the cultivation realm.
Some monks were particularly powerful when they first started cultivating, and they were called a generation of Tianjiao.
But after a while, basically no one can remember this Tianjiao, because this Tianjiao pulled his crotch.
And some people have mediocre qualifications, but they can keep cultivating upwards and reach the realm of countless people whose talents are better than him.
Therefore, according to Xia Luo's understanding, talent is only determined by the upper limit, and the rest depends on acquired factors.
For example, in martial arts, Xia Sichou's cultivation speed is definitely not low.
On the one hand, he has good cultivation resources, and on the other hand, he is fascinated by martial arts and is willing to work hard to cultivate.
But as soon as you break through the innate nature, it will not work immediately, to put it bluntly, it is a talent limit.
In contrast, Xia Luo's talent is still very good.
Occasionally, one or two bottlenecks can be encountered, but it won't take long to break through, and the strength will go all the way to the grandmaster.
"Where's the braised pork? I think you've been thinking about it for so many years, but when you come back, you're reluctant to give it to me? ”
"If I really had it, I would have taken it out a long time ago, the war in Tianyuan has been so fierce recently, and all the meat and the like have been looted to confiscate the army, where can I get it?"
Speaking of fighting, Xia Luo seemed to remember something.
"Isn't today the day of General Fan's triumph? I heard that the city gates are only open to the army, how did you get in? ”
If a master wants to enter Kyoto without passing through the city gate, he will enter Kyoto without knowing it.
Although this is difficult, Xia Luo still believes it.
But a guy who is born with external strength and can't even release his true qi can sneak into Kyoto.
There was no need for the gates to be set up, they were left open, and whoever wanted to come in could come in.
Hearing Xia Lu's words, Xia Sichou put down the movements in his hand and remembered the purpose of his coming here.
I saw him stand up without saying a word, then patted the dust on his clothes, and coughed dryly twice.
Then, a belt card fell from his body.
"Ah, Xia Luo, let's see what I dropped and come out."
Xia Luo's face twitched, and as soon as he raised his hand slightly, the waist card flew directly into his hand.
With qi to control things, it can be regarded as the pinnacle of martial arts in the eyes of almost everyone.
Pick up the waist card, only to see that the main material of the waist card is silver and jade, the front is written Si Chou, and the back is written with the word "will".
Xia Luo suddenly realized.
"You kid joined the army? Or became a silver general? ”
He still understands the military rank system of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Silver General is indeed a not small military rank, and it seems that the army of the entire Tianyuan Dynasty only has three Silver Generals.
Being a general in the army of the Tianyuan Dynasty is not something that can be fought and can be done.
Especially to the point of the silver general, it is basically only under the golden general and the commander.
In order to achieve this position, it is necessary not only to have a high level of force, but also to have management skills and a mastery of the art of war.
This Xia Sichou, the force value seems to be barely able to reach this threshold, but it can't be seen at all that he has management talent and understands the art of war?
Then there is only one possibility, and that is to go through the back door!
Speaking of going through the back door, he couldn't help but think of that General Fan.
That product seems to have known Xia Sichou, and the relationship seems to be very unusual when he was a child......
In this case, everything can be explained.
Co-authoring is a parallel commodity who relies on relationships?
Seeing Xia Lu's shocked expression, Xia Sichou expressed great satisfaction.
He looked intoxicated.
"Why do you say it? Be low-key. ”
Xia Luo threw the waist card back with a speechless face, and then asked.
"How? What is it like to be at war? ”
As soon as Xia Lu finished saying this, Xia Sichou lowered his head with a gloomy face.
And Xia Luo also regretted his own problems.
As the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and fighting a war must be a very cruel thing.
Although the victory of the Tianyuan Dynasty was not particularly difficult, it also killed more than 100,000 people!
More than 100,000 people!
The corpses are probably piled up into a small mountain.
And these people are his subordinates, watching his subordinates die one after another, even if it is a heartless guy like Xia Sichou, it is estimated that there is a psychological shadow, right?
Isn't asking such a question yourself tantamount to poking someone in the wound?
was about to say a few words of comfort, but he saw Xia Sichou slowly raise his head, looking at the sky, with a look of doubt on his face.
"You never know how hard it is to go to the toilet while you're on the march."
After speaking, he looked at Xia Luo with a bitter face.
"Just let you hold back, if you can't hold it, you will only be given three minutes, and if you can't finish it, you will be treated as a deserter, and the general is no exception."
Xia Lu was stunned.
"Not to mention on the march, it's hard to go to the toilet even if you're stationed! You don't know how much sin I've suffered. ”
"Huh? Why aren't you allowed to go to the toilet when you're all stationed? ”
"It's said that it's afraid that the thing will reveal its location, and the enemy can still judge the situation of the grain and grass by observing that thing, so every time it's convenient, you have to dig a big hole, and hundreds of people ...... together."
"Don't say it, I want to throw up."
"It's nothing, the key is the food, it's not human...... it's hard as a stone."
He said that the probability is that the dry food has been compressed.
In fact, compressed dry food is not a particularly advanced thing, because the production principle is simple, and there are often wars in this era, so it is still very common.
Xia Sichou, this guy, can't stop complaining.
In the past, Xia Luo told him stories, but now he tells Xia Luo stories.
When he talked about how difficult it was for the Tianyuan Dynasty in the early stage of the war, he almost cried.
"It's just a little bit, it's just a little bit, the Tianyuan Dynasty is finished! Fan Chenggang's contribution is indispensable!
If the emperor treats him badly, I will help him rebel!" ”
For Xia Sichou's words, Xia Luo didn't take it to heart.
After all, that Liu Quan is still a bit of a brain, and he knows that listening to his words will treat those military attaches who come triumphantly very well.
It must not be a bad treatment for that General Fan.
After that, Xia Luo took Xia Sichou to the current location of the Xia family.
Now Xia Xiangwen is too old, after all, he is also in his seventies, and in this era, it is already remarkable to be able to live to this age.
And Xia Sichou planned to stay in Kyoto and brought his family over.
And so the days went by.
