Chapter 44: Entering Beijing to Catch the Exam
At the snowflake town ferry, there is a building boat about 20 zhang long, about seven or eight zhang high, with six floors, like a moving water monster, along the canal to Kyoto Peach Blossom Ferry.
After a short stay in Xuehua Town, Song Ke and his entourage bought three tickets, and Xu Xiuqi almost got into a fight with the ticket seller.
"Do you understand child tickets? These two kids only need one adult ticket, and you think I don't know the price of the ferry ticket in the Frost Fortress! β
Xu Xiuqi took out the magic weapon flying sword and slapped it on the table viciously, wanting to fight with this steward.
There was no way, the four of them made up a total of thirty lower-grade spirit stones, which was only enough to buy three tickets, so when Song Ke and Yaya turned their eyes to Xu Xiuqi, this son of destiny understood that if the tickets were not enough, he would become an outcast!
So there was a scene of being watched, the steward of the snowflake ferry slowly tasted a sip of snowflake wine, which is a specialty of the town, cold in the abdomen, has a miraculous effect of discharging fire, and some craftsmen often come here to quit bad habits.
The blue-clothed steward said lightly: "The rules are like this, there are five spirit stones in the fortress for children's tickets, but this is outside the fortress, there are all kinds of unknown people, and my ferry here is also at risk." β
Xu Xiuqi exuded a trace of high-level qi refining aura, and said irritably: "You really think that my flying sword is dough and can't be kneaded!" β
The steward was disdainful of the threat in front of him, and sneered: "Don't say that you are a high-level qi refiner, even if you are a ninth-level qi refiner, you have to abide by the rules here, the owner behind me is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you can think clearly before you start." β
"Song Ke, him." Xu Xiuqi gave Song Ke a boost and was ready to join forces to make trouble in Snowflake Town, the spirit stones in his storage bag had already been used up, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed.
Song Ke shook his head, thinking about whether to mortgage the useless Wuyue Crown, after all, this medium-grade magic weapon is dispensable, and the most critical Five Elements True Yue Diagram has been imprinted in the sea of knowledge.
"Forget it, everyone has a young and frivolous man, don't take a moment as permanent, I will pay for him!"
Looking at the excitement, a woman with a baby came out of the crowd, with a graceful demeanor, and generously left ten low-grade spirit stones for him.
The blue-clothed steward accepted the spirit stone, then took out a ferry ticket, and said with a smile: "Count your kid lucky, this is a noble person in the palace of Kyoto." β
"Alas!"
Xu Xiuqi took the ticket and walked to the ferry with Song Ke, sighing with emotion, "It's a pity that I'm a little older, otherwise I wouldn't mind having a dewy marriage." β
"Phew! Scumbag! The girl who was holding two strings of sugar gourds criticized righteously, tilted her head and looked at the sugar gourds, one bunch is hawthorn, the other bunch is orange banana, I don't know which string to eat first.
Xu Xiuqi said awe-inspiringly: "I just want to give all the lonely and empty sisters a warm home, little duck, hurry up and take out your little emperor secretary, this is a good word for the world." β
"Slightlyβ"
Yaya turned around and grimaced, made up her mind to leave the hawthorn sugar gourd, and handed another string to Xuewa, who swallowed saliva.
"Sugar gourd, it has to be hawthorn-flavored to be authentic." Yaya licked it and said to Xuewa, and then the two pigtails flicked and flicked, swaying from side to side like butterflies shuttling through the crowd, and Xuewa behind followed reluctantly.
Soon, the four of them got on the ferry, and there was a simple shared house on the ferry, which happened to be a family of four people, located on the first floor of the building boat.
As for the upper floors, the decoration is of course luxurious, but the price is also scary, and most people can buy ordinary ferry tickets.
Song Ke, who was sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, was cultivating the Five Elements Cultivation Method left by Wu Weizi, and had not practiced before, for fear of any accidents, after Xu Xiuqi's narration, at least he knew that the Five Elements Spiritual Power was the most stable balance of the Qi Sea.
However, Song Ke already had two qi seas, one was the water qi sea of the ninth layer of qi refining, and the other was the ice qi sea of the first layer of qi refining.
"Niangniang, if I open up four more qi seas, will it be unbalanced?"
Song Ke could only turn to Taiyin for help, even if he was already very familiar with Xu Xiuqi, a visitor from outside the world, during this period of time, Song Ke still didn't dare to tell it all, and he couldn't completely believe it.
After a while, Song Ke got the answer to Taiyin's question, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that there is no need to count on Taiyin about cultivation, after all, who made the family born a golden immortal!
Suddenly, the voice of the Snow Maiden came from the era ice spirit in the sea of qi: "Although I don't know how you can open up multiple qi seas, but even if a conflict breaks out, I can suppress it, but this balance is limited, and it doesn't allow you to use multiple qi seas infinitely, and the premise of my action is that you can't be unfavorable to Xue Qianshan." β
Song Ke was overjoyed when he heard this, it seems that the Snow Girl still cares about the blessed land, not to mention that he has no idea of harming the blessed land, he just wants the blessed land to recognize the master, and immediately made a great oath and was immediately relieved when he got the promise of the Snow Girl.
As soon as I wanted to go back to the house to practice, I saw Yaya come over with a book and said, "Little Senior Brother, are we uprooted from home?" β
"Count" Song Ke nodded, he didn't see Xuewa's attendant, it is estimated that he sent out to buy something, and there are shops on the ferry, but the silver and two phone fees required are far beyond the ordinary price.
Yaya suddenly complained: "That's over, when I came out, I forgot to carry out the well in the backyard of Xuanmiaoguan!" β
"Poof"
Xuewa, who had just come back from shopping, squirted out a mouthful of ice water when she heard this, laughed, covered her stomach and said, "Then I have to carry the door panel when I go out of the door!" β
"What a mess of books you read."
Song Ke took the book in Yaya's hand with a dark face and looked at it, it was actually the latest version of the new interpretation of idioms in Shicheng Bookstore, and he just wanted to angrily scold the author for not being a son, but he turned to the back and took a look, it turned out to be compiled and published by the disciples of the mysterious audience, and there was actually his own name on it.
"Oh, that's fine!"
When Song Ke was in Guanli, he heard that his brothers and sisters had a way to write books to earn pocket money, and every time he wrote a book, he signed Xuanmiaoguan, so that everyone could take the blame together.
Just when Song Ke returned to the house to open up the other four qi seas, Xu Xiuqi, who had always been suave, had already run to the deck and was expressing his admiration for the beautiful woman who helped him pay for it during the day.
In the expression, Xu Xiuqi portrayed himself as a child of a hidden family who went out to practice, working hard and earnestly in cultivation, unswerving in feelings, and hard and simple in style.
"That's the excuse you can't afford to buy a ticket?"
The woman hugged the baby and smiled, but she was not disgusted by the handsome man in front of her, except for some young and frivolous, she just smiled and nodded.
Xu Xiuqi is the best at figuring out women's thoughts, and said confidently: "If you are young and not frivolous, then you are still called a young man!" The younger generation of monks of my generation will inevitably draw their swords and draw their swords against the stronger, and it is precisely because I see that the proprietor behind the ferry is extraordinary, so I want to add a little difficulty to my experience this outing. β
"Oh? Then are you sure to resist the pressure from the Three Princes? The woman smiled and nodded, her voice was soft and glutinous, sounding cool and thirst-quenching.
Xu Xiuqi put on a posture, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Nine out of ten, I will send you this kiss." β
"I think you have seven tricks and six tricks, but you don't know anything."
There was a middle-aged man's unkind voice next to him, Xu Xiuqi looked down, and found that the other party was wearing a brocade robe, with a dragon pattern jade pendant hanging from his waist, and he was also a cultivator of the ninth layer of qi refining, and he suddenly became interested, as long as he had a fight and was in the limelight in front of the woman, he would definitely be able to capture the heart, and he had tried this trick many times.
Xu Xiuqi said calmly: "I see that you have an extraordinary background, but I am not afraid at all, so it is better to divide the highs and lows." β
Bang bang bang
The middle-aged man clapped his hands with a cold face, and suddenly several guards of the ninth layer of qi refining appeared, surrounding Xu Xiuqi, and the man said coldly: "It's better to divide life and death, how about you single-handedly pick up a group of us?" β
"Oh, stubble? Although I am not afraid of you, but the more people there are, the more lively it is, you wait, I will call my brother immediately! β
Xu Xiuqi's face did not change, and he just wanted to take out the communication jade slip, which was the other half of the jade he left for Yaya in advance, as long as it was crushed, the other corresponding jade would also be broken.
A hint of discoloration flashed in the woman's eyebrows, seeing that Xu Xiuqi was surrounded and so bold, she believed that he was really crazy, but she still persuaded: "Forget it, young people who are fledgling are like this, you are all fathers, be generous!" β
Rumble!
Xu Xiuqi was struck by lightning and froze in place, it turned out that this man was a woman's husband, not afraid of him, but according to the habits of a merry boy, stealing is the most interesting, for him who wandered the world among the flowers, he had completely failed!
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, waved his hand, and the guard immediately hid his figure and took the woman to the sixth-floor room to rest.
Xu Xiuqi also felt depressed with the woman's departure, but he didn't expect that the first shot to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes would fail, life is so difficult!
Xu Xiuqi returned to the courtyard in despair, he is not a womanizer, he just likes this tune, as the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil, and once you get it, it becomes boring.
"Alas! I Xu someone is known as a woman killer, and there are times when he misses. β
Xu Xiuqi raised his head and drank the spiritual tea, which was soaked in a small pinch of spiritual plants of a hundred taels of silver in the snowflake array, the taste was bitter, and he tasted melancholy.
Then the maid in the house who was preparing to endorse the book ran out angrily, and said angrily at Xu Xiuqi: "Xu Xiuqi, you secretly drank the spirit tea leaves in my satchel again, which I specially bought in Xuehua Town to prepare for the celebration." β
"What are you celebrating?" Xu Xiuqi looked dazed.
Yaya pinched her waist with both hands and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Of course, I went to Beijing to catch the exam, and when I was named on the gold list, I used it to celebrate and drink." β
Xu Xiuqi thought to himself, I'm afraid that the level of your duck is about the same as going to Beijing to roast.
At this time, in order to make up for the mistake of laughing at the little sister before, Xuewa decided to buy a gift to compensate, so she bought a stack of books and ran over and said: "Little sister, you like to read, you see, I bought several books, heavy ones." β
"Stupid baby!"
Yaya took the book and saw that it was not a novel that she was interested in, so she told him earnestly: "Remember to buy heavy small dried fish next time, that light." β
Xuewa scratched her head as if she didn't understand: "Oh! β
At this time, Song Ke, who was secretly involuted in the house, was overjoyed, he had successfully opened up the Five Elements Spirit Sea, and as long as he cultivated slowly, he could achieve the achievement of five Qi refining nine layers.
As for the ice system spirit sea, there is no cultivation method for the time being, so let's put it first, the snow girl's body has moved to the ice system spirit sea, and reminded: "You hurry up and find an ice system cultivation method, the first layer of qi refining is too low, otherwise the spirit sea may not be able to suppress it when a conflict breaks out." β
"It'll be there as soon as the evening!"
Song Ke nodded, and put the target on Xu Xiuqi, since everyone is so familiar, it's not too much to get some wool!
So Song Ke got his wish and did not get the cultivation method of the ice system from Xu Xiuqi, but the cultivation method of the sword spirit root.
Xu Xiuqi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I have a sword spirit root, why do I want other cultivation methods, pure sword cultivation quenches the body with sword qi, and breaks ten thousand methods with one sword, no need for Xiao Dao'er!" β
Fortunately, Xu Xiuqi took out the complete "One Sword Exclusive Formula", commonly known as the sword cultivation method at the door, and it looks very powerful.
However, when Song Ke cultivated, he found that there was no difference from the previous cultivation of the Great Road, in Xu someone's words: "The Great Dao is simple, these most basic cultivation methods are the best cultivation methods tailored by the ancient sages for the human race!" β
Similarly, this sentence was also recognized by a certain innate god and demon who did not want to be named, because the first method of the human race was to imitate the natural avenue lines on the gods and demons, although the cultivation speed is very fast, but there are many drawbacks, and the gains outweigh the losses, and the methods that circulated later are the best to use, but it is a pity that latecomers often pursue the cultivation speed or power in the early stage, and always take the sword sideways, hoping to take shortcuts.
