Volume 1: The Past of Qingluo Chapter 2 Town Guard Division (Reform)
The transaction has been completed, Li Changyue is not in a hurry to read this cheats that he finally "tao", breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed that no one was following him around, and paced around the market for a while.
The neat stalls around Li Changyue were an eye-opener, but he saw a lot, and he didn't like too much of the things, most of them were some exorcism talismans, common pills, rare materials, martial arts notes, and some suspected "treasures" and some antiquities, and the rest were some weapons, most of which were sold by some loose cultivators, unlike the major shops, most of them were relatively cheap things here.
"Hey, these bamboo slips seem to be a little special." Li Changyue found anomalies in dozens of ancient artifacts in a stall by walking along a street where monks used to trade.
"This son, what do you like!" The stall owner, a middle-aged man in a short shirt and sweatshirt, saw Li Changyue coming over and immediately got up to greet him.
Li Changyue didn't go directly to get the bamboo slip, but pointed to a turtle shell-like thing: "How to sell this?" ”
"You said that this recently unearthed turtle shell is said to have been unearthed from the remains of a family, and it is absolutely inexpensive and collectible, so if you want it, give it three silver coins." Seeing this, the stall owner introduced with a happy face.
"Is the book together?" Li Changyue pointed to a book that was suspected to be made of animal skin, "What is it recorded, and where did you get it?" ”
"Ao, Childe, this book has nothing to do with the cheats, I read it carefully, the text is a little ancient, it is said to have been unearthed from near Yuejiang Town, it should be a biography of the family figures, but the handwriting is still clear, and it is still collectible." Seeing this, the stall owner still explained, hoping to sell it.
"Is it the same with this bamboo slip, I see that the carved text on it seems to be similar to poetry." Li Changyue asked lightly.
"It should be, but only these five bamboo slips are left."
"Pack all three for me, and give me a price." Li Changyue said dryly to the stall owner.
The stall owner was very happy to see this: "Childe is a cheerful person, these three things will give Childe a preferential price, five silver coins will do." ”
Seeing this, Li Changyue didn't say anything, took out five silver coins from his arms, handed them to the stall owner, put away the three things and put them in his arms, and then continued to wander around as if nothing had happened, and the stall owner happily put away the silver coins.
After walking dozens of meters, Li Changyue slowly quickened his pace and left the street, he felt from these bamboo slips that there was a martial arts will not disperse, but it was not a martial arts cheat, which was very strange, but now was not the time to study, and he would take a closer look when he returned to Fenglin Village. He didn't bargain with the stall owner just now, after all, these people are all perennial in these industries, and it is impossible to cope with the past so easily, it is better to buy it neatly, and buy it by the way, and give the other party an image that purely likes to study collectibles, and it is worth the money, just a month's money.
"There is still more than a day to go to the town guard division, and I have to hand over the tasks in the village, and bring Yu Lu back from Luofeng Town, as for the trial in the other courtyard, he is not in a hurry." Li Changyue mentally planned, "Also, it seems that the supplementary personnel of the guards of Fenglin Village should have arrived. ”
The trial of the annex in Luofeng Town is a peripheral force jointly established by the Huoyang City Health Department and the five big families and more than a dozen small and medium-sized families in the city to select the seeds of outstanding martial artists, and you can learn some systematic martial arts and medicine in it. The selection is held every two years, so many young people in the entire Luofeng Town are still eager for this annex, but the competition is particularly fierce and the risk is very high. But as an "outsider" who has just arrived in this world for a year, he still needs to figure out some things, after all, Li Changyue in this world doesn't remember what happened before he was eight years old, which is also the most confusing place for him, the unknown is the most dangerous, I don't know what kind of pit is waiting for him, he needs to go to the town guard division now.
Speaking of the Town Guard Division, it was precisely the task that he needed to complete a year ago, and he wanted to exchange for a beginner sword technique, which directly led to him, or it should be his comprehensive consciousness, to come to this world.
Li Changyue has lived in the Huayin generation since he was a child, and has been practicing Xingyi Boxing and Bajiquan all year round, thanks to the influence of his parents' love of martial arts since he was a child, Li Changyue has dabbled in Taoist and Buddhist cultures. Strange to say, from the age of eight because of an illness, after the body recovered, began to follow a forty-year-old master to practice martial arts, and then began to practice the four-elephant posture when he was a teenager, that is, the three-body pile posture, although he was active by nature in his youth, he laid a good foundation for martial arts, improved his physical qualifications, and usually did not deliberately drill the tip of the horns when he was studying, and he became a minority of Qing school figures in line with the attitude of "learning if it is useful, and abandoning it if it is useless".
After the original world entered the realm of dark energy, Li Changyue's perceptual ability immediately appeared a qualitative change, because the Xingyi boxing action is symmetrical, strict, complete and harmonious, so the long-term systematic practice of Xingyi boxing can make the active muscles, synergistic muscles and antagonist muscles of the corresponding motor centers between the corresponding motor centers have a high degree of precision and coordination, and can make the motor centers and autonomic nerves also have a high degree of accuracy and mutual coordination, so as to improve the coordination between the centers. The so-called strength contraction in the body is not triggered, just like the tiger lying in the forest, the eagle looks at the prey, the ape jumps in the mountains and forests, the form and spirit live together, its righteousness is like pulling a tightrope, with the dantian to promote the strength, silent and better than sound. Unexpectedly, when Li Changyue originally planned to cultivate step by step, a strange incident brought him to this world.
One night a year ago, Li Changyue was in his bedroom at home with the intention of groping and meditating on his own, satisfying his curiosity with the perception of the late stage of dark energy, and seeing how some ancient and modern Chinese and foreign monks participated in meditation.
He began to follow the ancient classics and even Western meditation to carry out some "internal vision", wanting to study and study the latent ability of the human body, but he didn't want to really have some "results". He tried to empty his body and mind, as the Buddhists say, to let go of all consciousness and even let go of the deep "subconscious" that pushed him to let go of all consciousness behind it, and he seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and his body seemed to be faintly one with his surroundings.
At this moment, he seemed to perceive a point that was big and small, as big as breaking through indescribable boundaries, as small as existing, but unable to say how small it was, just like everything in himself was constantly increasing and decreasing, and there was an energy that pushed every part of his body.
Just when he was indulging in it, he suddenly heard a voice: "Chang Yue!" ”。“ Well, who is calling me, it is very similar to my mother's voice," Li Changyue thought to himself, "It doesn't seem to be like it, and there is an anxious shout overlapping it!" ”
When Li Changyue urged his consciousness to "wake up", he found that he suddenly couldn't help himself, and a spiral-shaped void appeared in the emptiness, which seemed to be full of color. "Ah, it's not good, what is this, it feels like I want to be part of it," Li Changyue had never seen such a bizarre scene, "Time and space tunnel, or is it an out-of-body soul?" ”
It seemed that he could not get out of this void, and it seemed that this void was an inner part of his body, and at this moment he seemed to see the outline of his surroundings, this was his room, surrounded by a desk, and a chair, although it was dark and the light was not turned on, he still looked at everything, but the spiral hollow seemed to appear in the room, but it did not affect anything else, except for his consciousness.
"Hey, reckless, if there is really an accident, my parents will have to worry, it seems that it is really my mother!" , heard the cry outside, asked him why he didn't turn on the light when he wasn't there, but just as he was about to fully integrate into the black hole, he actually saw his body move, and then heard a voice that seemed to reply to his mother's voice: "I'll exercise here for a while, and then I'll go out." ”
It seems that I don't see this hollow at all!
"It's over, take it?" Li Changyue was shocked, "Hey, it's not like ah, this look is the same as usual, and it really doesn't seem to have noticed anything abnormal!" ”
"It's bad, is it a split personality, schizophrenia?" Before Li Changyue could react, almost instantly, the colors around him seemed to be a rapid combination, transforming into tall trees and various vegetation around him, as well as the chaotic scene in front of him, "Well, there is danger!" ”
Subconsciously one turned around and pushed his palm, collided with a strong force, retreated twice, and his face changed as if he was defeated, only to realize that something was wrong: "In front of me is a two-meter-long cheetah, good guy!" He shrank his eyes, grasped the ground with his ten toes, and then put his left foot forward to take root, and his right hand followed the shape of his body with a single whip, blocking one of the leopard's claws. Then the feet are short and rapid forward, the fist moves with the foot, and a horizontal fist once again gives the leopard no chance to fight back, taking advantage of the leopard's empty door to open, the fist collapses into the waist of the cheetah.
With a terrible scream, the cheetah flew upside down a meter and fell to the ground, and blood overflowed from its mouth and nose.
"Huh, it seems that the cultivation is still there, look at the sweat in your hand, "But it's a little hasty, with the strength of his own palm, he shouldn't need to use this trouble, his dark strength is in the later stage, with Xingyi Fist, he can open mountains and crack stones, although this wind leopard is far beyond what he saw in his previous life, but the breath of observation should not be too strong."
He turned his head to look around at a young man with a surprised face holding a horizontal knife, and then looked around at the trees that were nearly 100 meters high and several people hugging each other. At this time, the young man looked at him with a surprised look: "Chang Yue, are you okay, this leopard has reached the strength of the late first order." ”
Subconsciously, a person popped up in Li Changyue's thinking: "Luo Zeng, a member of the village guard." ”
Luo Zeng and Li Changyue have a relatively close relationship, Luo once suffered a serious injury that affected his practice, and he was also sent to Fenglin Village from Luofeng Town four years ago, two years older than Li Changyue, a side branch of the Luo family, one of the five major families, and Li Changyue, who is a side branch of the Li family of the five major families, is very close to each other.
"It's okay, don't worry, if it weren't for a breakthrough, it might capsize in the gutter this time." Li Changyue breathed a sigh of relief and gave Luo Zeng a relaxed look, indicating that he was fine. also subconsciously touched his forehead and face.
"Hey, my hands don't seem to have changed, it doesn't look like it's a grabbing, and it's just a trance just now, it seems that I've been here all along," Li Changyue realized the state of his body. At this time, he was wearing a blue shirt with narrow sleeves, a pair of lean and modern loose trousers, and a pair of black leather boots. Then he subconsciously pulled out a steel hard sword with a long handle with a simple shape, a hilt of nearly a foot, and a blade of two and a half feet long from his waist.
Luo Zeng quickly approached at this time, exhaled, and his tense face relaxed: "It was really thrilling just now, I just killed two adult wolves, I don't want this beast to ambush not far away, fortunately, your strength is enough." Then he laughed again, a cheerful personality was reflected, and he hammered Li Changyue twice with his fist, "I'll carry the things, and we'll change the taste for him when we go back." ”
Li Changyue also nodded, just in time to get used to the "body" that he had taken over, tidy up the clothes on his body, and shook the dust on his body with a force of anger under his feet, "It's okay, it's just right for me to recover my internal strength." In this way, the two of them traveled from the jungle for nearly half a day and returned to the village, the forest they returned to was the Yuedang Forest, the third-order dangerous place determined by the town guard, and they were going to complete the task, explore a certain area, explore the existing human habitation site, and collect a certain elixir.
Li Changyue woke up from his memories from a year ago, looked at the flow of people coming and going on the street, and seemed to walk slowly and quickly towards the town guard office near the northeast corner of the town. A cup of tea, a two-story house high courtyard wall, in the middle of which there is an attic dozens of meters long and three door openings, in the middle of which are two stone pillars and a plaque, and a few profound words are engraved in front: "Luofeng Town Shousi!" "There were two teams of a dozen guards at the door.
Li Changyue looked at it: The lowest are all the cultivation of the sixth layer of the forging body, and three middle-aged people in the late stage of the forging body walked out of one room, and the first one is the cultivation of the ninth layer of the peak of the late forging body, which is enough to guard a village. Li Changyue paused, took out a delicate metal token with a string and a pattern knot tied to it from his arms, walked up to the door on the far right, and showed it to the warrior at the head: "I am Li Changyue, the captain of the second guard of Fenglin Village, and I will go to the town guard division to receive the village Yulu, and by the way, I will hand over the task." "Try to speak the way the original body remembers, because he's only been here once or twice.
"Well, okay, wait a minute" The middle-aged resolute figure led by him took the token casually and glanced at it, "You can go in." After speaking, he returned the token to Li Changyue and made way of the way.
"Thank you!" Smiling and signaling, after speaking, Li Changyue strode into the gate on the right, and entered a wide square paved with cyan stone slabs, surrounded by various swords and some bows, Li Changyue knew that this was the place where the main people of the town guard department gathered. Passing through a heavy hall again, walking through a stone corridor, and entering a seemingly inconspicuous but slightly quaint attic, surrounded by bronze luster, carving some birds, beasts, moires, and portraits and some lines, Li Changyue has understood, it may be some talisman formation.
Pushed open the door and walked in, and found that there were more than a dozen people in the seats around them, stopped talking to each other, and looked at each other together, some scrutinized, some smiled, and some looked indifferent or even hostile, Li Changyue was not polite, he couldn't care about these things on this occasion. People soon again
"Morning, everyone," Li Changyue said hello and greeted eleven men and four women, he walked to a table on the left and sat down.
"Brother Li, I didn't expect you to see you for a year, but your cultivation is unexpected," a young man about his age on this table looked at him with a somewhat grim face and a somewhat staring gaze, "It seems that your harvest this year is not small." Another middle-aged man in his thirties also looked at Li Changyue. These two people, Li Changyue, still know each other, they are the two captains of Changbai Village, and the younger one came to Luofeng Town with Li Changyue and Luo Zeng when they were about ten years old, called Luo Songyang, and then they were assigned to various villages.
"It's okay, anyway, exploring more than 300 miles of mountains and forests, the danger is really not small, our village has reduced three team members, and the villagers have suffered a lot of casualties, so they need to be replenished." Li Changyue brought himself a cup of tea and took a sip, "The deeper you go, the more difficult it is to go deeper, and I have encountered strange attacks several times, and I almost suffered a heavy blow." He glanced at the other party, propped his hands on the table slightly, and continued, "Your village should be in much better condition than ours, after all, it is not close to the edge. ”
Hearing Li Changyue's narration, Luo Songyang frowned, and the middle-aged man was also surprised: "Why, Fenglin Village has lost so much!" After speaking, with a helpless look, "Fenglin Village is too close to the edge, our Changbai Village is much better, we only need to send fixed personnel to the southern and western defense lines to explore, the team members only suffered one casualty, and the villagers were attacked a few." ”
The so-called marginal zone is the village closest to the center of Luofeng Town, the closest to the edge, and the danger level is the most in the south and west, because these places are the real edge zone, close to the Moonswing Danger Land and the Cloud Piercing Mountains. There are three villages on the margins, and they are new villages developed from the strongholds in the early stage, which used to be used as a supply place for exploring dangerous places, but in the last forty or fifty years, due to the geographical location, there are river valleys, where you can grow Lingmi elixir, and there are still many people who have settled here to explore. And Fenglin Village is second only to Qianling Village, another Yungu Village. And Qianling Village is said to have been found to be ruins by martial artists above the practice of qi, there are many mausoleums and even caves in the world, many powerful warriors heard the wind and came, from which they got a lot of opportunities, treasures, cheats, this happened more than 20 years ago, and later this place also developed into a village, with a population of more than 50,000 people, and it is also the most special of all villages: this village has more than a few masters of practicing qi all the year round, and there are dozens of people at the peak or even perfection in the late stage of forging, there seems to be something special secret, It is more than 800 miles away from Luofeng Town, and you must know that Fenglin Village is only more than 300 miles away from Luofeng Town.
"However, some recent news has heard that Luofeng Town has an abnormality again, and it is definitely not what I heard on the surface, there must be something unknown to everyone." Li Changyue secretly considered this, "But at the moment, I don't have time to care about this, improving my strength is the most important thing, the current anomaly does not rule out second-order demon beasts or weird attacks." ”
Of course, although Fenglin Village is not as dangerous as Qianling Village, it is also the second-ranked existence. At present, there is only one forging body perfection in the entire village, four forging body members are at the peak of the late stage, and most of the rest are in the early stage, and there are no more than fifteen people in the middle stage, which is really not taken seriously. It is to have a good doctor, probably because of the large casualties here.
