"Thirty-six Strategies: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell"

An ordinary town in the Huayuan Empire, an ordinary small shop, at noon, because it has just started spring, the snow on the road has still not melted, and there are piles of freshly swept snow on the side of the road in front of the door, and although the road surface is made of stone slabs, it is unusually humid at this time, accompanied by a little mud and ice slag, obviously unusually dirty, and from time to time there are carriages or some magical beasts used for riding past the door. It's now the year 1010 of Huatianli, and after that moving battle, more than three months have passed, and Huayuan and Kari have never fought together again, but the armies between the two sides are still facing each other on both sides of the grassland, and the atmosphere is still as tense as ever.

Kong Ming dragged his tiredness, carrying a large backpack made of demonic beast skin, and slowly walked into the shop. At the end of that battle, Kong Ming made a big gamble with his life, betting on the heart of Emperor Huayuan, he was right, that Tang Feng did not treat the assassin soldiers like others, beheading the public or exploding the corpse in a panic, as long as there is one, that Kong Ming is really dead without a corpse. At the moment of suicide, Kong Ming suddenly remembered one thing, this matter started as a soldier, which made him inadvertently ignore the past, that is, he is not only a swordsman, but also a magician, in particular, he is also a rare space magician, although, his magic is not very good, but at this time he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, gamble, win, he can still live, even if he does not change his name, he can still live like an ordinary person, because no one knows his name, it is the person who concentrated on them, and after they gathered, the records of all of them were destroyed, including their record in the Mercenary Guild. And if he dies, there is nothing to say, what can he say if he dies? But in any case, he just can't surrender, because once he surrenders, he will not only be accompanied by insults, but also by Karry's endless pursuit. So at that time, in front of Huayuan's army, in front of the corpses of more than a thousand comrades-in-arms, boiling blood and a cool head, suicide was his only choice, but how to commit suicide was his choice, first of all, let his movements slow down, so that he could have enough time to think about what to do next, but this action can't be too slow, if it's slow, then everyone else is dead, he can't go on alone under everyone's attention, so he chose a method that people can't refuse, first take off Nahuayuan's armor, to show that he has nothing to do with HuayuanIn this way, the sober minds of other people after they get rid of the control of the madness potion will also follow suit, no matter what, no one wants to be irresponsible to move their bodies around after they die, and then he puts the armor one by one, so as to show the respect of a soldier's own weapon, this is not a useless action, this is to buy time, and at the same time to win the favor of the Huayuan soldiers, so that they will be careful when dealing with the Kari soldiers, and will not let Kong Ming throw around like a stone, and finally, he knelt down and bowed three times in the direction of KariIt was because he missed his hometown, because he didn't know if his adventure would succeed. After he did this, the soldiers who had not yet committed suicide and Kari naturally followed him, because the injustice was only a respect for himself and an explanation for Kari. After doing this, he didn't have much strength, so he slowly stood up, looked at Kari strictly, and then began to use a small space magic, this magic is a basic magic, that is, to use space elements to make a subspace, the two exits of this space are a little inside the skin at both ends of his abdomen and back, and the exit is only a little away from the skin outside, so that when the sword pierces it, it will pierce the skin, but it will not pierce, when the magic is ready, he will use his sword to stab the place where the exit is located, and the sword will pierce from one end and come out from the other, at the same time, He violently ran a method of cultivation in the fire dragon fighting qi, dragon sleep, this kind of cultivation, the whole person is in a state of suspended animation, the beating of the heart will become as if there is nothing, if it is not carefully examined, it is impossible to know whether the person is dead, and at this time, the fighting spirit will spontaneously repair the injuries on the body, this is the method that the dragon usually uses when it is seriously injured, the fragility of the dragon at this time, but it can repair the wounds on the body without too much support, even if it is the air, and Kong Ming is gambling, betting that after he fakes his death, Emperor Huayuan will let them be like a soldier, into the ground。 While using Dou Qi, he forced out the blood in his chest that had accumulated during the battle and spurted it out of his mouth, so that it seemed to everyone that it was a real suicidal scene. And when Kong Ming pulled out his sword, he knew that his plan was half completed, and the next thing was the real life and death. Whether it was their actions that conquered the people who were present at the time, or the spirit of the emperor who respected them, he won the bet, he deserved it, so he was still alive, and all the Kari soldiers who participated in this battle were dead, and he was the only one left.

Buried in the ground for nearly three months, unconsciously, the fire dragon fighting qi is constantly repairing the damage he suffered in that battle, the dragon's body is strong, and the fire dragon fighting qi is modified on the basis of the dragon's ability, this kind of fighting qi is different from other fighting qi is its cultivation and repair of the body, and the dragon's sleep is the best way to recover when the dragon is injured. With the continuous operation of the fire dragon fighting qi, the meridians in Kong Ming's body that were damaged by the madness medicine and the myelin cleansing pill also began to be slowly repaired, and the residue of the excess medicine was discharged from Kong Ming's body, and those energies that had not yet had time to play a role became the nourishment of Kong Ming's fighting energy and magic power, supplementing and strengthening Kong Ming's fighting energy and magic power, and Kong Ming's spirit was also slowly recovering at this time, and after the war, there was a lot of growth. At this time, Kongming is like a child in the womb, without thoughts, desires, or distractions, and is deeply in line with the way of nature.

As soon as three months passed, the moment Kong Ming opened his eyes, Kong Ming knew that his injuries had been completely healed, not only that, whether it was his fire dragon fighting spirit, or his magic and spirit had made great progress, truly consolidating his status as a senior swordsman, not only that, but he also had a feeling that he was not affected by the Purifying Pill at all, he could continue to advance to a higher level of swordsmanship, and his magic was also greatly enhanced, and any person's true experience of death would make his spiritual power soar, not to mention that Kong Ming had been cultivating in the ground for so long At this time, he had completely entered the level of a senior magicianEven his body is not a little wrong because of the lack of nutrition, but because of the moisture of the earth, it looks very powerful and vibrant, and the strength of the body has improved a lot, just like a real dragon. From the ground, I listened for a long time, but I did not hear the sound of a man's movement. Kong Ming appeared outside with a teleportation. The surrounding snow has begun to melt, under the snow, there are cemeteries one by one, Kong Ming looked, saluted those dead comrades, thought about it, and headed towards the east, the direction where the Huayuan Empire is located, for him, the war is over, he needs to learn too many things, the Huayuan Empire is undoubtedly the best choice.

On the way, I beat a few first- and second-level demonic beasts that ran out of the Warcraft Mountain Range, took their magic cores and skins to this town near the border, sold them and then bought some clothes and swords, and then traveled to various places, after all, some people said: "Travel thousands of miles, read ten thousand books." ”

Walk into the small shop, this is the only place in the town to open the door, because it is close to the border pass, the soldiers often pass through here, so the price here is also very expensive, this is the experience of Kong Ming, just like in Xiliu City, the original a few copper coins, after the army is stationed, quickly multiplied several times, this is what Kong Ming has personally experienced, so that its memory is particularly profound. The shop was not big, there were only six tables, three of which were already occupied, and Kong Ming walked over to a table where there was no one and sat down. The guy in the store, when he saw Kong Ming's appearance, did not show a disgusting look, but said to Kong Ming very kindly, "What do you need?"

"Oh, show me a bowl of rice, a pound of beef, and a pound of wine. Hurry up. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

With that, he went to prepare something. Kong Ming put the package on top of a cabinet next to him, bored to look at the three tables of guests, leaning on Kong Ming's table next to three people, one of them seems to be a businessman, the other two are like his servants, the businessman's eyes are very shrewd, after seeing Kong Ming's package, he paid attention to a few more times, and then stared at Kong Ming's package with interest, maybe it was a person who came from the line of life and death, Kong Ming didn't care too much about his eyes. His two servants, on the other hand, seemed to be invisible, as if their masters used to do such work. There are two people at the table outside, a man and a woman, at a glance you know that they are from a rich and noble family, the man is a knight's dress, it is a cold day, but he is wearing a set of gorgeous armor, on the chest, there is a knight's level Peugeot and a Peugeot who does not know what it is, it is very eye-catching, and the woman, about twenty years old, is wearing a gorgeous magic robe, judging from the fluctuations above, it should be a magic robe of the water system. Because Kong Ming did not hide his observation, after the two felt Kong Ming's eyes, they both looked over, and this time and space Ming realized that the two people, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, perhaps because they had not seen a woman for a long time, Kong Ming unconsciously looked at the woman's two eyes, which caused the woman to be unhappy for a while, and was about to have a seizure, but saw Kong Ming smiled and looked at the other table of people, which made the woman angry and difficult to attack, and the color on her face became more exciting, and it was more moving, so that the flower messenger who was originally going to teach Kong Ming a lesson was stunned for a while, so that the woman directly transferred her anger towards Kong Ming to him, and scolded him in a low voice, But obviously the messenger is very useful, and from time to time to see Kong Ming come here, to show him kindness, which makes Kong Ming feel very depressed, originally the soldier has a sentence called "two or three years of soldiering, sow race Diao Chan", who is Diao Chan, Kong Ming does not know, those people say that it is a very famous beauty, but pig, Kong Ming knows, if in a person's eyes, even the ugliest animal can be compared to the top beauty, then it is conceivable to know how much impact being a soldier has on people's perceptions. Fortunately, he was still young, only fifteen years old, and he had been a soldier for a relatively short time, otherwise, he would not know how to describe his feelings. The people at the last table were obviously some travelers from the north and south, they were talking about some topics such as the south and the north, obviously very interested, their voices were not concealed in the slightest, so the people in the whole shop could hear it clearly, which made the two nobles and other men and women have some dissatisfaction, and they were about to have a seizure, but they heard them turn the topic to this war, and it was the last battle in which Kong Ming participated, known as the "Battle of the Cold Valley". It was very interesting to listen to, and the dissatisfaction of the two disappeared at once. Even Kong Ming, a person who has experienced it personally, feels a little incredible, but what surprised Kong Ming the most is the situation about Wang Zisheng.

"Alas, those soldiers are really deplorable, such good soldiers, they committed suicide like this, even our soldiers in Huayuan who participated in this battle feel pity. One of them sighed.

"What's even more a pity is that they didn't know that they were being used, the most hateful thing is that bullshit sword saint, what is it called? Oh, it's called Wang Zisheng, it's really Wang You's life, he himself has already prepared a way out, but let those more than 1,000 people go to death. ”

"Yes, hmph, he secretly teleported away with a teleportation scroll while everyone was watching those soldiers commit suicide, hum is really ashamed, now the whole country is laughing at him, he still has a lot of taste as his sword master in Kari. The soldiers died in vain. ”

"I heard that this attack was deliberately leaked to the emperor, so that Hua Yuan prepared an ambush early, isn't it?"

"Of course, but it's a pity that with 50,000 against 1,000, more than 10,000 people were still killed in the battle, many of them were high-level swordsmen and great swordsmen, and even magisters and archmages were killed, even if it was an ambush, it paid a terrible price. ”

"I heard that those Kari soldiers are so strong, it's all because the Harvey Empire is behind the support of those medicines. ”

"Except for those Wang Ba, who else is so concerned about our Huayuan affairs. One of them said hatefully.

Hearing these words made Kong Ming silent, and his eyes became a little dim, he was the party, but he didn't know anything, only knew how to carry out orders, but the result was to send people into a mortal game, if the sword saint died together, then at least there was a little balance in his heart, but obviously there, Wang Zisheng had already had a way out, so he was not active when attacking, and the consequence was to let them bear the anger of another sword saint. And they are just an outcast of other people, thinking of this, it makes Kong Ming have a heartbroken sense of peace, if it weren't for the fact that he is a person who cultivates both magic and martial arts, if he is not a space magician, if it wasn't for him to come up with a way to get out of the shell of the golden cicada in the last time, then he would never know the truth of things. Thinking of this, Kong Ming took the package to the countertop and slammed it hard, "Man!" and shouted, shocking everyone, wondering why this person who didn't look like him had so much strength. The other guests just wanted to scold, but the woman had already stood up and pointed at Kong Ming with her finger, but at this moment, Kong Ming unabashedly released the pressure of his senior swordsman, as well as the murderous aura, which made it difficult for everyone to breathe. And the woman sat down all of a sudden under the pressure of Kong Ming's key care, and her face was a little pale. Seeing this, the face of the guy in the small shop changed several times, but he finally came over.

"Please—please—sir, what do you command?"

"There are more than ten demon cores of various second-level demonic beasts here, you go and buy me a few sets of clothes to make, and a good two-handed sword, and the rest will be exchanged for money, and the food money is also in it, bring the wine first." Kong Ming took out a small eight-bag from the package and threw it at the guy.

The guy was busy taking it, and then hurriedly sent a jar of wine and a plate of beef, and then after saying something to the boss, he ran out to find the money, Kong Ming was not worried that the guy would run away, after all, the monk couldn't run away from the temple. Put away the shocking momentum, in the amazement of others, Kong Ming picked up the jar of wine with his right hand, picked up a big bowl with his left hand, poured a bowl with a bang, the wine overflowed, Kong Ming stopped, and then, the wine was picked up, towards the direction of the card, held high and stopped, silently recited some words in his mouth, and then poured the wine word by word, after doing this, he poured another bowl of wine, drank it in one go, picked up a few pieces of beef with chopsticks, ate it in one bite, and then poured a bowl of wine, and a mouthful of meat, just like that, Kong Ming did not know how much wine he drank, how much meat he ate, and how much time passed, his person was already in a trance, but he still kept eating and drinkingBut the surprising thing is that no matter how much he eats or drinks, he never looks full. Looking at his appearance, the two nobles were even more annoying, and their faces showed a look of helplessness, it seemed that if they didn't wait for some important people, they wouldn't stay in this kind of place for a long time, not to mention that there were people like Kong Ming here. Kong Ming was still eating, in the faint sense, he felt someone sitting opposite him, raised his head, he saw a young man, also a nobleman's appearance, also a little white face, kind to him said something, Kong Ming did not understand, so he thought that he was also here to drink, so he shouted: "Man, another set of chopsticks, I am having a drink with this brother, drink, haha." Before he finished speaking, he drank to himself. When the man heard what he said, he had no objection, and in this way, the two called for a great deal of wine and food, and as they drank and drank Kongming, they clapped and sang an old hymn in front of the young man.

"Draw your sword, wear iron armor,

Attack the enemy's line and kill the enemy's blood,

Meteorites fall from the sky and burn with fire,

The heroic cries of the warriors,

Forward forward,

Warriors of Karry,

Defend your beautiful home with your sword,

Follow the banner of the hero,

Wielding the sword in his hand,

Behold the sky changing color,

The earth is shaking,

The blood of heroes guards the dearest loved ones,

Stepping on the corpses of the enemy,

Smeared with the blood of the enemy,

Forward forward,

God bless Kari, God bless my homeland, God bless my loved ones,

Forward, forward, forward!!"

Drink until the world is empty. In the wine, his strings, which had been stretched for more than a year, finally let go, as if he had returned to that small village, to the old mage's side. After all, he was still only fifteen years old, and it was the season of study, but he had to go to the battlefield to kill and be killed.

Looking at Kong Ming, who was drunk in the past, the young man did not move, nor was he drunk, and the thirsty Kong Ming did not know, the fact that he was from Kali was known in this drunkenness, but the young man didn't seem to care, just looked at Kong Ming with a smile, and there were several people standing next to him, two of which were the two men and women who were sitting next to him just now.

"Childe, we have to leave early, it's already afternoon, and if we don't leave, we won't be able to reach the city ahead. A middle-aged man standing behind him said.

"Gu Yu, you said he was a high-level swordsman?" the young man asked.

"Yes, Childe, I can't be wrong with my feelings, and judging from the momentum he emitted, he has also killed a lot of people, because the murderous aura on his body is very heavy, even if we are a level person, I still feel the cold murderous aura on his body, which makes people's hearts break, and he is also a Kari person. The man replied, apparently knowing what his son wanted to do.

"You say he can't be of any use to me? I don't care if he's a Kari or whatever. The young man then asked.

"I don't think so, Childe. A butler-like man behind him said, "This kind of person is only suitable for friends, not subordinates." ”

"Well, if it weren't for the urgency, I think we would have been able to make friends. The young man continued, "Let's go!" After speaking, the housekeeper behind him gave the shopkeeper some money, and counted Kong Ming's share, and asked people not to disturb Kong Ming's rest. Kong Ming slept until dawn the next day. Looking at the clean and luxurious clothes on the table and a two-handed sword that could be regarded as a fine one, Kong Ming was stunned and asked the guy, "Man, this is the clothes and sword you bought for me?

"I didn't buy it for you, where in this town are there such good clothes and swords! This is the boy who drank with you yesterday, left it for you, and let me tell you that you can go to him if you are in trouble, this is his business card. After speaking, he handed a piece of paper to Kong Ming, and after Kong Ming took it, he didn't look at it, so he tore it off, "What about the clothes you bought for me?" Kong Ming asked casually.

"I'll go get it for you. When the guy saw Kong Ming's appearance, he quickly ran over and took the clothes he bought for Kong Ming. After Kong Ming went to the store and changed the clothes, he burned the changed clothes, then put the many clothes in the package and carried them on his back, grabbed the long sword that the man had given, lifted a jar of wine, and walked away.
