Chapter 247: Devouring Power
Quiet, no, dead silence.
The whole grassland became dead silent, and even the wind seemed to stop at this moment.
Not long after, Tang Xiaohao walked out, and walked out from the position where the Saimen knife car was originally standing on the opposite side, his hair was scattered, and he was covered in blood.
But the blood on his body did not seem to be his own, and although the wounds on his back and chest could be clearly seen, there was no blood coming out of those wounds.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xiaohao finally opened his mouth and said three words, and he was dazed and puzzled.
Then, he turned around, looked at Gilda and Muzir, who were stunned not far away, and asked again, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? Didn't you do all this? Muzir and Childa had these two sentences in their minds at the same time.
Tang Xiaohao walked forward slowly and walked over to the dead white yak. The body of the white yak was stabbed with a steel knife with countless blood holes, covered in blood, but the most bizarre thing was that the body of the white yak was distorted, and half of the body was only left with a layer of skin.
Su Mu didn't immediately step forward like last time, just stood there and watched. There were many images in his mind, from the ironclad guard in the Rouyuan Palace telling Tang Xiaohao to kill the dragon with his bare hands, to the fact that this horse master killed the three Fengmanlou killers under a completely disadvantaged situation.
And also......
And he was able to suppress the invincible nine-tailed fox demon in Liangcheng, summon the flag spirit with blood in the Seven Star Trickery, and control it.
This colt is by no means an ordinary person, Ji Chengying naturally knows that he has already speculated in his heart, and the original speculation has been confirmed by many events along the way.
If Tang Xiaohao was just a foreigner like Tang Chen, he would not be able to explain everything that happened.
Ji Chengying's heart is mixed, doubts, contradictions, and worries are mixed together, and the most important thing is the fear of the unknown.
From the moment he met Tang Xiaohao, Ji Chengying realized that this colt was not simple, and everything that happened after that really came true, fortunately, he didn't have any ambitions in government affairs, but he didn't understand government politics, which was what Ji Chengying was most worried about.
What would happen if one day, someone with such great power stood on the opposite side of the Dachang Dynasty?
Su Mu found that the moment Ji Chengying looked at Tang Xiaohao, there was murderous intent in his eyes, although it was only fleeting, he knew what it meant.
If one day, the emperor let himself attack the horse, what should he do?
Su Mu wanted to escape, but if he escaped and lost Jingyuan, he would lose the martial arts that he originally relied on to survive, and then he would be a waste, how could a waste survive in this world?
In the end, when people are faced with a choice, they still have to start from their own interests.
Everybody does.
Even the thorns of the Xuan Department are no exception.
Even if they swore allegiance to the Son of Heaven.
That's why the royal family developed such a thing as Jingyuan, and forced the fate of the thorn and the Son of Heaven to be bound.
Bao Meng stood there with the candle dragon watching, but her eyes quickly jumped on Ji Chengying, Su Mu, Antai, Chierda, and Muqier, she knew what these people were thinking, and she also knew that Tang Xiaohao had become a threat in the eyes of these people.
You can be powerful, but your strength must be within the control of others, and once you are out of that range, then you are a threat.
Unless, you are above everyone else.
Childa and Muzir still didn't dare to step forward, but just stood in the distance and watched Tang Xiaohao.
Tang Xiaohao looked at the white yak and recalled what had happened before.
At the same time that he was pushed against the wall of the knife by the white yak, the steel knife stabbed into his back, and the horns of the ox stabbed into his chest, he felt that the three parts of the dantian, the center of the eyebrows, and the Yintang knot were suddenly combined by some kind of force.
It was as if there was a rope that strung the dantian, the eyebrows, and the Yintang knot together, and then, a force was generated, but it was not this force that knocked the strong white yak away, but this force absorbed the power of the white yak, and then knocked the white yak away.
Yes, yes
Liang Cheng was the same back then.
Tang Xiaohao subconsciously touched his dantian, and it was the same at that time, the power in his body absorbed the surrounding demon power, and then borrowed it for his own use, defeating the terrifying nine-tailed demon fox.
The internal force is solidified in the dantian, and the demonic power is condensed in the center of the eyebrows, so what does the forehead above the center of the eyebrows, that is, the Yintang knot, mean?
Tang Xiaohao only remembered that the position of Yintang was called Shangdantian in medical skills.
What exactly is yourself?
Tang Xiaohao began to suspect that there seemed to be a reason why his father had avoided cultivating his internal strength since he was a child, could it be because of this thing in his body that could devour and absorb the power of copying others?
What the hell is this thing?
The next thing can only be described in four words.
Instead of asking what had happened, everyone went about their duties and began to clean up the scene.
An Tai said to Ji Chengying, "Lord Wang, the fifth trial will be held after the evening, because the trial ground is on the princess's way to worship her ancestors, so we are just right to set off now."
Ji Chengying said, "Okay, then let's go immediately."
No one mentioned Tang Xiaohao, and no one cared about Tang Xiaohao, only Bao Meng led the lame candle dragon to Tang Xiaohao's side.
Tang Xiaohao looked around, just smiled, and then took the reins of the candle dragon and led him forward.
Bao Meng hurriedly asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Tang Xiaohao said, "I just remember what happened when I was a child."
Bao Meng asked again, "What is the matter?"
Tang Xiaohao said, "Things in the school."
Bao Meng was puzzled, "You still went to school?"
Tang Xiaohao nodded and said, "I've only been there once, and I've never been there again."
Bao Meng asked curiously, "Why?"
Tang Xiaohao stopped and said, "Because I hate other people, and other people hate me."
Bao Meng naturally didn't know what that meant, but he could see from the expression on Tang Xiaohao's face that it was a memory that Tang Xiaohao didn't want to mention.
Tang Xiaohao's memory goes back to more than ten years ago, it was the first time he went to school, but he was already eight years old at that time, and ordinary children should enter the school at the age of five.
Tang Xiaohao doesn't need to go to school because he is Tang Chen's son, and the children of Yipin Dayuan are naturally exclusive teachers, and they are all famous people in Shendu City.
Once, when Tang Xiaohao passed by the door of a school in Shendu City, he found that those children were very happy, with heartfelt smiles on their faces.
That is what Tang Xiaohao wants to have, but he doesn't dare to ask for it in the environment of Tang Mansion.
So, he thinks, going to school must be a beautiful thing.
So, Tang Xiaohao asked his father Tang Chen for the first time, that is, he wanted to go to school like other children, instead of facing the exclusive teacher in the study every day. Look at the book
Originally, Tang Xiaohao thought that Tang Chen would not agree, but he didn't expect his father to readily agree, and promised to send him to the school the next day.
It's just that Tang Chen told Tang Xiaohao: "If you want to go to a place, you must like that place and want to integrate into that place, and the same is true for the school, so you remember, when you are in the school, you must also know what other people will do, and others will not know anything, even if you can, you have to pretend that you can't."
Eight-year-old Tang Xiaohao naturally didn't understand: "Why?"
Tang Chen didn't explain, "You will naturally know."
Tang Xiaohao went to the academy alone, and did not let the servants follow, but just asked him to wait at the gate of the academy, but he did not allow the ironclad guards who were guarding alone to approach the gate of the academy, he was afraid of scaring those children, although the children who could go to the academy were either rich or expensive, but they could not be compared with him, the son of the commander of the ironclad guard.
In the first class, the teacher taught "Thousand Character Text", which was the enlightenment teaching of the school. As a normal child, "Thousand Words" is actually not simple, so most children have a blank look in their eyes.
The teacher stood on top of the class with a book in his hand, and read "Ink is dyed with sorrow,
Psalms of the Lamb" and asked, "Does anyone know what that means?"
The school was silent, and no one answered.
The teacher looked very angry: "I have been teaching you this article for half a month, and you still don't understand the meaning of these eight words?"
When Tang Xiaohao heard this, he got up and said, "The interpretation of this text is that Mozi laments that white cannot return to its true color if it is dyed, and the Book of Songs praises the pure and upright character of the scholars. In the text, human nature is like white, once it is polluted by the surrounding environment, it is like dyeing raw silk. And the Lamb praises its whiteness on the surface, but in fact compares it to its pure, upright, unpolluted character."
While the teacher cast an approving look, he was also full of surprise, he didn't expect this child who came to school on the first day to know so much.
In order to set an example for the other children, the teacher asked, "Have you studied the Thousand Character Essay?"
Tang Xiaohao nodded.
The teacher smiled and asked, "Do you know how to recite it?"
Tang Xiaohao hesitated and nodded.
Because of this hesitation, the teacher was a little skeptical, so he chuckled and said, "Okay, you can recite it again."
Tang Xiaohao saw the teacher's suspicion, and directly responded with a disdainful smile, and then recited: "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu is listed in the ......"
Under the gaze of the teacher and all the students, Tang Xiaohao finished reciting the "Thousand Character Text", and then stood there looking at the teacher with an expressionless face, and asked provocatively, "Teacher, do I still need to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Disciple Rules"?"
The teacher was naturally unhappy when he heard this, and he knew the provocation in Tang Xiaohao's words.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiaohao said, "Teacher, I still don't understand a little about "University......
The displeased teacher interrupted him, "You sit down first."
Tang Xiaohao had to sit down, but at the moment he sat down, he didn't feel the admiring gaze, all the people around him were jealous, and even the teacher's eyes were not right when he looked at him.
After class, no classmates wanted to play with him, and even if he took the initiative to go to the teacher, the teacher was an excuse to avoid it.
That day, after Tang Xiaohao went home, Tang Chen asked him, "What did you feel on the first day of school?"
Tang Xiaohao just said, "It's nothing."
After that, Tang Xiaohao returned to the side courtyard by himself and sat in front of the pond in a daze.
Because he couldn't comprehend what was happening in the school during the day.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that from the next day, the entire school began to exclude him, and the teacher even began to give him problems, the motive was just to make a fool of him.
Tang Xiaohao finally understood why his father said that if he wanted to integrate into the school, then what other people would do, he would also know, and others would not do anything, even if he would, he had to pretend that he wouldn't.
At that time, he didn't know that the school was like this, and so was the whole world.
Since you're different from everyone else, don't try to fit in, either be above them or stay away from everyone else.
