Chapter 114: The First Entry into the Realm of Fearlessness
In fact, the pinnacle of the Dada people's ice carving skills lies in the petals and stamens, and the highest level is the legendary palm-sized ice flower carved with nine petals and eight stamens!
Besides, Ling Xiao, at the moment when the stamen was carved, he suddenly felt that his spirit and even all his attention were poured into the small stamen in an instant!
And the stamens in that eye also changed wonderfully at the same time, no, it wasn't that the stamens had changed, but the stamens that Ling Xiao saw in his eyes had changed. Not to mention becoming more crystal clear, what is more important is that the stamen in Ling Xiao's eyes is no longer so monotonous, no longer just an ice sculpture!
The tiny stamen, the tiny cracks, and most importantly, the stamens that Ling Xiao found out were coincidentally extending along the gaps of a few cracks!
Seeing this, there was a sudden pain in his mind, which made Ling Xiao's heart shock, and when he looked at it again, the stamen was still an ordinary ice cube, and there was no image of what he had just seen!
Subtle, subtle, this is a trace of subtlety!
First of all, he had a trace of realization in his heart, and that phenomenon just now should be the legendary microscopic vision!
And microscopic vision is just a name given by the knowledge of Ling Xiaotong's previous life, and there is a special term on the God of War Continent, that is, "visualization", to think with observation, to promote visualization!
If this "visualization" technique is the most direct harvest brought by this small stamen, then the specific application of how to carve the stamens and even the subtleties is Ling Xiao's second big harvest!
The reason why the stamen is difficult to carve is only because ordinary people cannot observe the internal structure of the ice cube in depth and detail, and it is very likely that the slightest crack will make the stamen carving fail!
Only through guò's microscopic vision, or the method of "visualization", can we avoid the inner cracks and carve the stamens! And the old man's freewheeling technique when carving should be another more advanced level, because Ling Xiao saw clearly at that time, the old man didn't pay much attention to the cracks or anything, but just completed the carving with a little light from the bonfire!
Ling Xiao, who had already withdrawn from visualization at this moment, tried his best to enter that wonderful state again, so he had to stop there!
Ling Xiao, who came back to his senses, only found that the morning sun was jumping out of the horizon on the horizon, and a new day had come! He actually looked at the stamens of the flowers so firmly for a full night! Sure enough, there was no time for cultivation!
After packing up, leading his camel horse, facing the rising sun, Ling Xiao continued to walk in the direction of the Dreadnought Empire!
After walking for another twelve days, about eight hundred miles, a huge mountain range appeared in sight, like a wall, with no end in sight!
Ling Xiao knew that seeing this mountain range meant that his destination was not far away! Because this huge mountain range was the natural barrier that separated the Dreadnought Empire from several other countries, the Sunset Mountain Range!
And not far ahead, it should be the first test to enter the Dreadnought Empire, the border pass!
The border pass is just a place name, although it is indeed the border pass of the Dreadnought Empire and the Li Empire, but this small city is peaceful, completely different from the deserted city that Ling Xiao visited in the Medicine Master Trial!
The feud between the two countries can almost be said to start a war when they meet, but in this small city called Border Pass, the use of force is forbidden! It is also the only zone of peace between the two countries, and the main purpose is to find a place for the two countries to discuss things!
To put it bluntly, it is a rule that has been formed for a long time, if there is anything to talk about between the two countries, only here in Guan Xiaocheng will there be no conspiracy and no killing!
And Ling Xiao entered this side in the evening of this day!
After walking alone for so many days, he once again returned to the environment where humans lived, and for a while, Ling Xiao was a little uncomfortable with the noisy human voices. But before he could take a closer look at the small city, he first saw a group of strong men confronting people, it was the Dada tribe, and the old man who taught him the art of carving was already injured and withered to the ground!
Ling Xiao has a great affection for this group of hospitable men of the Dada tribe, not only because he has made up himself as a Dada tribesman, but also because of the Dada people's attitude towards life that is close to nature and treats people peacefully! In the impetuous environment of the God of War Continent, such people are already too few and too few!
Isn't this pass known as a place of peace? How could they beat people in the streets, and even saw those people dressed as officers and soldiers actually raise their swords and slash at the Dada tribesmen!
I couldn't care so much, the bow and arrow in my hand were ready, and just as the war knife was about to fall on the old man's head, Ling Xiao's wind feather arrow also hit the head accurately! And the war knife finally deviated from the target at the last moment and slashed on the ground!
Both sides of the confrontation seemed to be a little stunned by this scene, the Dada tribe side because they didn't expect that someone would come forward for their group of wanderers, and the side dressed as officers and soldiers didn't expect that someone would be bold enough to confront the official!
With an arrow coming out, Ling Xiao secretly put the Sword Sect gift away from the dust bead in his storage belt, thinking that it was very likely that the identity of the Dada clan could no longer be used, but he walked to the Dada clan side without hesitation and stood at the front!
Seeing the arrival of a guardian with war paints tattooed in the clan, the strong men of the Dada clan breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but the old man's face looked even more sad!
Seeing the accuracy of Ling Xiao's arrow, the officers and soldiers did not dare to be too arrogant for the time being, and Wu Chang also walked out of the team, "The Fearless Empire is doing things, and recruiting the craftsmen of the Dada clan into the palace to build ice statues, and it is not that they will not give you wages, if you dare to resist again, there will be no mercy!"
It's not so much announcing something without words, but rather coming out specifically to explain what happened to Ling Xiao, a "Da Da Clan" who looks unusually strong!
As soon as Wu Chang said, Ling Xiao also understood the situation, he knew that for the old man, ice carving is a skill that entrusts his lifelong mood, not to mention that the ancestral training cannot benefit from it, even if there is no ancestral training, this old man will definitely not make that money!
Ling Xiao knew that from the standpoint of the Dada people, there was nothing wrong with his side, but now the Dada people have no place to live, no power, no force, and those outstanding business abilities are not much left because of the layers of taxes!
In the eyes of the others on the God of War Continent, the Dada people naturally have no alliance, let alone someone to say a fair word for them, even if someone knows the traditions of the Dada clan, they will not risk offending the military of the Dreadnought Empire and come out to explain a thing or two!
In fact, the only way to do this is to go ahead, think clearly about the cause and effect, Ling Xiao is simply instructed, and immediately order those strong men to help the old man, no matter what happens, go out of the city as much as possible to avoid disasters!
Those Dada people didn't say anything, within the Dada clan, the owner of the war paint was originally responsible for fighting, and it was natural to stay and break the matter, and only the old man who had been in contact with other people all the year round wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to speak, and was carried away by his people!
Seeing that the Dada people, except for the kid who had just appeared, the others were just packing up their things and wanted to leave, the Wu Commander of the Dreadnought Empire no longer cared about anything, and shouted, "Do it!"
Saying that, he drew his sword first and rushed towards Ling Xiao, in his thoughts, as long as he could entangle the kid in front of him a little for a while, the other brothers would definitely be able to leave that hateful group of Dada clansmen behind!
But the development of things obviously exceeded his expectations, the knife in his hand had just been raised, and before he could swing it, it was suddenly light, and when he looked at it again, only half of the knife was left, and his group of battle-hardened brothers were even more exaggerated, and before they began to take a step, everyone had an arrow stuck in front of their feet that was still trembling slightly!
Deterrence! At the same time, the experienced battles also made this group of officers and soldiers understand what kind of people can be invincible, and what kind of people cannot be defeated even if they try their best! Under the deterrence of Ling Xiao's continuous three waves of vibrating string techniques and sending out twelve arrows, no one in this group of soldiers of the Dreadnought Empire dared to take another step!
And the Dada people also walked farther and farther, and saw that they went out of the city gate, stepped on the camel horse, and went away!
Seeing that group of Dada people out of danger, Ling Xiao didn't say much, put away his bow and turned back, and in three turns and two turns, he found a remote place to hide first!
And it wasn't until Ling Xiao disappeared that the Wu Commander wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his face, his face was gloomy, and he said fiercely, "Close!"
The dust beads have been put away, the camels and horses are directly discarded, somewhere outside the city, looking for a mountain spring, Ling Xiao began to clean up the lines on his face, and used the half of the mask given to him by the deacon of Lingjiabao to cover up the Lidan fire pattern, and then changed into a samurai suit, wore a veil and hat, turned around, and walked towards the border gate city for the second time!
Sure enough, it was only half a day after the incident happened, and a notice of arrest had already been posted at the city gate, and it was Ling Xiao's image of the Dada clan painted with patterns!
And the soldiers at the gate of the city were obviously ordered by their superiors, and everyone who entered the city would take a closer look at the patterns on their faces, and although Ling Xiao covered half of his face, half of his face was extremely clean, so he naturally entered the city easily!
Find a small shop to settle in, eat, wash, and scatter a few taels of silver to send away the greedy shopkeeper, Ling Xiao sat at the table alone and began to seriously consider the next trip!
The original plan obviously couldn't go on, because of the Dada people's affairs, Nafu's image had been exposed, but Ling Xiao didn't regret doing it this time!
Not only did he save the people he wanted to save, but more importantly, he found a good way to enter the Dreadnought Empire and get close to the imperial capital!
The solution lies in the fact that the chief Wu said that he invited the craftsman to enter the palace to build an ice statue!
