The candlelight was bright, illuminating the large and small furnishings of the dormitory, and between the light and shadow, the sound of paper stroking came from behind the bookcase.

Su Chen unfolded the scroll on the desk, and slowly rolled the open canvas to show that it was old, and the ink was worn, but it could be felt that this painting was well maintained in the Yan Imperial Palace.

"Xiao Wenbi said that there is the martial arts of the ancestors of the Su family in the painting." Su Chen lifted the painting and looked at it twice, it was the same as an ordinary painting, he took the candlestick inch by inch to check, and the characters on the painting were lifelike, there were eight in total, one was at the top, with a majestic face and a mighty figure, holding a wine glass in one hand and pressing it on the table with the other.

Below are seven people, with different faces, but they are all tall and mighty, and they are the ancestors of the other seven marquis.

Xiao Wenbi didn't have a chance to get the scroll.

Beigongye and Xiao Moyu are both much stronger in martial arts than me, and they should have more experience in this area, but why didn't they find any clues from above.

The more he thought about it, the more Su Chen's brows furrowed.

Maybe the legend is fake?

Later generations of movies, various ways to find out the secret skills of martial arts, Su Chen still knows what kind of fire and light, he doesn't believe that the two have not tried.

He carved the painting against the candlestick, but there was no response.

Do you still need to use blood?

"Wu Changsui, take the dagger and come here."

Su Chen called out to the door, the door opened the small fan with a 'squeak', and Wu Zixun probed his brain in, "King, what do you want to do with a dagger?" ”

"Take it if you tell it!"

"Oh." Wu Zixun took out a dagger and handed it to Su Chen after a few searches in his arms, Su Chen pulled out the sheath, pointed the sharp tip of the knife directly on one finger, squeezed out the blood and dripped it on the painting.

Sure enough, there was no reaction at all.

He stared at the scroll, and Wu Zixun also looked at it curiously, "My ancestor is also in this painting, right?" Where do you stand? Tsk, I can't imagine that I, Wu Zixun, also inherit the glory of my ancestors. ”

"Didn't your ancestors say anything about this scroll?" Su Chen raised his gaze to look at him.

"My ancestors didn't leave anything...... He left eight ancestral precepts. ”

When Su Chen lowered his gaze, he suddenly raised his face to look at Wu Zixun, "Your family also has eight ancestral precepts?" ”

It's not strange to have ancestral teachings, it's strange because it's all eight.

Because the Su family also has eight ancestral precepts.

If all of them were the same, the other six would also be eight, for a total of sixty-four...... Su Chen's gaze fell back on the painting, carefully observing each of the characters on it.

However, the eye finally fell on the wine glasses of the painted figures, and there were glasses scattered on the table and on the floor in front of them, and if you counted them carefully, there were exactly sixty-four.

The staggered placement seems to be regular!

Su Chen hurriedly took a piece of white paper and asked Wu Zixun to polish the ink, and after waiting for a while, he picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, outlined the points on the white paper according to the position of the wine glass, and drew two crooked lines in the order of left and right.

Meridians...... The line of the exercise?

Although Su Chen's martial arts are not high, the meridians of the human body are a compulsory part of the practice when practicing martial arts.

Hehe......

'Actually let me find out like this, Xiao Moyu would be mad if he knew. ’

Su Chen suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at Wu Zixun who was probing his brain over there: "You go out first, during this time, the outside affairs will be handed over to the prime minister, and Zhongshu Ling, and you should have a good rest for a while." ”

"King, if you want to practice martial arts, you can ...... straight"

Before Wu Zixun finished speaking, a book was thrown over, and he hurriedly closed the door.

"Martial God Gang is angry...... This is what Xiao Wenbi's master and apprentice will never forget. Su Chen looked at the fortune map in his hand, as well as the "General's Night Banquet Map".

If it weren't for Wu Zixun suddenly saying that he also had eight ancestral precepts in his family, it would be difficult for Su Chen to guess here, let alone Xiao Wenbi's master and apprentice and Beigongye.

"I just don't know, if there are rumors that are so powerful."

For martial arts, Su Chen is of little use now, but something is better than nothing, who knows how many enemies the lie of the art of immortality will bring him.

"Wake up early tomorrow to practice!"

Su Chen put his things away closely, turned around and walked out of the study, and Dian Wei and Wu Zixun at the door followed closely behind and left together.

It was dark.

Under the night sky of twinkling stars, thousands of miles away, located in the south of the middle section of the Huai River, here is the junction of Wu and Yue, in the grievances and disputes between the two countries for more than 70 years, the junction here looks a little intertwined from the Kanyu map.

It is located in the south-central part of the border between the two countries, and is connected to a certain mountain forest and plain across the border of the country.

In the more than 70 years since it was incorporated into the Yue Kingdom, more than 10,000 people were crowded around a radius of 30 miles, and they called themselves Wu people.

In the past few years, there have been floods from time to time, and the year is getting worse and worse, and this year only 120 acres of fields can see a good harvest, and everyone can share some rice and noodles, and they can survive the second half of the year.

Most of the rest of the fields were flooded, and this summer's rainstorm was ordinary, with more rain than usual, but fortunately, the 120 acres of land were on high ground and survived.

However, the land tax to be paid this year has made it difficult for many people.

The old and young of Shangpo Village sat at the entrance of the village, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, the old people in the village coughed, and the woman holding the child looked at the bonfire and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"A group of old men get together, and they can't let out a fart."

"Alas, no one dies of hunger."

"What about taxes? Today, the public came to the village to urge them from house to house, and heard that there was another war...... Those lords in the county town chose our people here to serve as conscripts first. ”

"When some people go out, it's also a good thing that the dolls and little women in the surrounding villages and villages can eat a few more bites."

Zhou Tiansheng sighed, spat on the ground, he looked at the man who spoke, and scolded: "There is no bird in the crotch!" ”

Most of the people here are the remnants of Wu State, don't look at the tens of thousands of people, but crowded in this place, it is difficult to have a way out, many people have the idea of escaping back to Wu State, but there is no way to lead, and being caught halfway is a death.

There are many Yue people around, they don't treat them very well, they often come to bully them, and even secretly cut the crops in the field.

If you don't do it here, then the people of several villages will call for a fight, but the hoes on the Yue people's side are sharper than the knives in their hands.

So there are many people who want to escape, Zhou Tiansheng is also one of them, the man who was scolded by him blushed and wanted to scold back, but he didn't know what to scold, squatting on the ground and looking at the fire in a daze.

Conscription, taxation, and production reduction, the three things weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but think of the people of the previous generation who said that Wu Guo was better than here.

Thinking about it, I can't live my life now, and I have to endure it, which is better than death.

However, the next day, the ancestral hall of the village summoned the villagers, and a woman surnamed Zhao went to see the fields at night, and after being found, she died in the woods next to her.

The crops in his family's thin fields, which were still green seedlings, were harvested in large areas. Everyone is from Wu, hearing the news, the young and vigorous young man, who formed a gang, rushed to the village where the accident occurred, Zhou Tiansheng was also among them, he held a knife to chop wood, and watched the man surnamed Zhao crying to death while holding the body of his mother-in-law.

The young and strong people of the two villages were about to fight with the Yue people who crossed the border, and the Wu people from several other nearby villages also rushed to help, and hundreds of people rushed over.

Many people also rushed out of the Yue people's village over there, and the two sides first scolded for a while of ugly words, and then they started to move, and then the dead people, and a Yue people in this village were killed.

Zhou Tiansheng, who knew that things were not good, fled back to the village with everyone, and soon, the pavilion chief took three people in Zhaojia Village with a group of officials and took them away.

The next day, the men were sent back, two of them were beaten to the point of losing half their lives, and the other was lazy after being carried into the village.

In the past two days, the people in the surrounding villages have stopped shouting, and they have squatted on the ridges with their heads down one by one to look at the flooded fields, and the Yue people in the village where they were killed before often come over to provoke, and they have endured it here.

On the sixth day, there was an accident in Zhaojia Village again, a man named Zhao Shishi was busy in the field with a baby, and was scolded by a few Yue people across the boundary.

The little doll cried out in fright next to her, and a Yue person was annoyed by the noise, turned around and kicked over.

Dead again, still a two-year-old doll.

The young people in each village couldn't sit still, the clan elders and squires came to persuade them, and they were scolded back by these young people.

Today, they scraped together some money and found those merchants, asking him to help bring some weapons. In the middle, other Wu people joined in.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Zhou Tiansheng couldn't help but fantasize about the chivalrous things in the rivers and lakes, and his heart suddenly surged

The last day of August 30.

The pent-up grievances finally broke out, and more than a dozen Wu people who were fed up with the oppression crossed the line in a mighty way, and made trouble in the Yue village that oppressed them.

The matter broke out, and the county government immediately sent many public servants over, thinking that they were going to come over to fight, but the head catcher, Li Zheng, and the pavilion chief did not move roughly, but asked the clan elders of the Wu people to help persuade them together, so that these young people could put down their weapons and go to the county government to talk, admit a mistake, and save the matter from making things bigger.

Soon, more than a dozen Wu people put down their weapons to accept persuasion and followed the officials back to the county office.

Two days later, these dozen people were escorted to the vegetable market and beheaded!

"Lie to us...... When I'm a Wu person, it's so deceitful! The clan elder who participated in the persuasion was ashamed and angry, and died of anger at home.

On this day, the Wu people within a radius of thirty miles finally broke out!
