Volume 1 The Sword Between the Eyebrows Chapter 238 Night Talk
"The Great Dharma Protector I just ordered my brothers to search and search everywhere, but I didn't find any suspicious person. The places are as usual, and there are no anomalies. ”
A man hurried from outside, reporting the situation.
The man was hidden so deep that everyone mobilized and couldn't find him. If it weren't for Zhou Yang's accidental discovery, there might have been a bigger commotion. From this point of view, there are some unique skills, not ordinary people.
Mao Huai frowned and said: "It is still necessary to strengthen vigilance, tighten the circle a little, and send people to patrol around." Guard your mountain gate!"
"Yes!" the man replied, slowly retreating.
No abnormalities were found, and that's the only way, after dealing with these things, Mao Huai said to Zhou Yang: "You came just in time, there is one thing, you see if you are interested." ”
As he spoke, he handed over a letter.
Between the two, it is not a subordinate relationship, but a friend, so in fact, Mao Huai did not find something for Zhou Yang to do, but hoped that he would be able to help him at some time. In this case, he is very laid-back.
Escape the chaos of war and practice in peacetime. Away from Qi Yueguo, Zihua Wutang, and coming to a new place, there is nothing to worry about, it can be regarded as a quiet in the middle of noisy.
Zhou Yang's days here are not much different from those on Zihua Mountain. You can have enough time to cultivate.
These days, Zhou Yang has been waiting for the situation to calm down and not to be too chaotic.
At least when people from other places heard the news, they would not come to wade into troubled waters for the time being, and they all avoided it, as if they were sitting on a mountain watching the tiger fight, and they were watching the news in other places. The people who are still here are also a lot of settlers, they don't move casually, they honestly find a safe place to stay, and they don't come and go from different places.
Many martial artists have the same plan as Zhou Yang, and few of them are fishing in troubled waters under this violent whirlpool. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you must wait until the current is not urgent, and you can have a harvest before you can make a move.
Five Cities is the best place to live. During this time, the business contacts and material sales of the five cities have risen a lot, and many chambers of commerce have launched war money.
I took the letter and looked at it, it said that the five cities had organized a lot, gathered many martial artists, held a martial arts meeting, and took out a lot of good things and a resounding name as the first prize.
The implication is to divert attention and restrain people. A sensible person will know what to do when he thinks about it. So even though it is a wide range of publicity, in fact, there are only two or three big cats and small cats who participate, and the surface is a little lively.
This is the case in the rivers and lakes, a place, a domain, a country, and there is a small group of top masters. It's not that any fame or benefit is like a hungry ghost, and he doesn't choose to eat, and he goes to make up for any excitement. There are more real or bottom-level bastards. Wandering around, jumping around.
Among the four countries, there are countless large and small military events, and only those that are very important are held on a regular basis, and like this, it can be organized. It's just a grass platform team, and it's not grand at all. There is no recognized authority of the four countries. There are not many masters, sects, and families to join, and most of them are scattered cultivators.
Zhou Yang also saw at once that this kind of martial arts meeting definitely had the meaning of supervision. Although he stayed on the mountain, he could also imagine how the army marched and fought under the mountain, and how the men and horses of all sides were crisscrossed. There may be many warriors among them, and it is not just soldiers and civilians who participate in the battle.
In this case, the warrior is actually an unstable factor.
It is necessary to find a reason for the warriors to gather together, restrain their actions, and divide them.
Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said: "From here to one of the five cities, I have to pass through a lot of territory, so why bother me, I still don't go." "What he is waiting for is to go all the way with the army, and it is the right thing to go to the palace first, so martial arts, fighting fiercely, there is no point in going to participate, there is no interest.
Mao Huai didn't say much: "Okay, you can stay in peace, I will inform you if there is any news and action." ”
"Thank you!" Zhou Yang said goodbye and left, without bothering him anymore, Mao Huai had to arrange a lot of things, and he had to take care of a small child, but he was very busy.
The whole town of Egret Castle was busy for a while, but still did not find the person, and each did his own thing, and quickly calmed down.
The training of the training, the production of the production, full of energy, a full of enthusiasm.
Zhou Yang already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't walk around, so he went back to the room and stayed until the night, and the night was so deep that he couldn't see his fingers and didn't fall asleep.
Everything in the room was quiet, and this silence had reached the point where a pin drop could be heard.
If someone came to assassinate again, Zhou Yang was sure, and before he got close to his side, he would definitely be able to find out if he just walked within thirty steps of the house.
The man in the day is not a top master. It is a realm of martial arts that is not superb.
Zhou Yang meditated cross-legged, not lying flat, breathing slowly and long, and could hear a very slight rustling sound, some of which were caused by the sound of the wind blowing things shaking, and some of which were insects, rubbing their limbs against each other. With your eyes closed, your mind is not empty.
Sitting like this, there is no movement, only the extension of the senses, perceiving the movement around him and the flow of qi and blood in the body. The heat reaction in the body, like burning, also makes people unable to sleep.
In doing so, it also dispels the artistic conception of constant hypnosis.
When people sleep, they are completely quiet, which is not conducive to rest. The subtle sounds of the night continue to penetrate into the ears, and unexpectedly, they also play a calming role. If you don't resist, you will fall asleep even if you are sitting.
Zhou Yang had now cultivated to the pinnacle of the inner condensation of the second layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and the three sources of power in his muscles, bones, internal organs, and body essence and spirit were already full of the power of qi and blood, and he couldn't find a place to accumulate qi and blood. to the bottleneck stage.
Just like the growth of the human body, it is completely stereotyped and strong, and there is no room for further growth. This kind of hard cultivation can only maintain a peak state of oneself, deepen the accumulation, and do not regress, but it will not improve much.
The cultivation of a martial artist is so difficult. Just like studying, it is impossible to get ahead in your studies without hard work and suffering.
Reading is poor for fame and achievement, and the realm of martial arts is improved. The key point is that in addition to hard work or hard work, perseverance is very important at this point. If you relax a little, one day will become two days, and all the hard work in front will be in vain. Perseverance is even higher than talent, after all, the so-called genius, this probability is too low to be counted on it.
It is not uncommon for geniuses to become mediocre, and mediocrity against geniuses shows ability, which is the difference in the influence of perseverance.
The night was dreary and deserted. There was no light in the room, there was no light at all, it was closed all around, and the faint light outside couldn't shine in, it looked dark and dark, as if it was going to eat people, and Zhou Yang was the evil beast lurking in the trap.
The silence is so quiet that even ordinary people can be sensitive to the subtleties. This increase in insight is comparable to that of perception, hearing, and sight.
Most of Zhou Yang's attention was on the beams, windows and doors, and what he was waiting for.
I don't know how long it took, but unexpectedly, there was no movement in places like those that were easy to be used to hide, but the door of the room was pushed open.
Opening the door, the man looked helpless and did not approach again.
Zhou Yang opened his eyes violently and said, "Your Excellency is still here!"
"I'm curious, how can there be someone like you in Zhenlu Castle. The person who came said: "Originally, I had some ideas, but with your prepared posture, I had to give up if I didn't act well." ”
This man is also very direct.
Indeed, Zhou Yang waited intently, his mental attention extended, and he couldn't be suddenly attacked in the room, and he was almost in a gapless realm. Seeing such a scene, he was a little curious, interested, and observed, but there was no arrangement around, and he opened the door directly to face it.
As he looked at it, Zhou Yang asked, "Your Excellency is from the Five Cities?"
"You're not from Zhenlu Castle?" the other party didn't answer, and asked rhetorically.
Zhou Yang got up and walked around, and said knowingly: "In this case, you and I don't interfere with the river water!"
The atmosphere of confrontation and sharpness between the two was slightly eased with these few lines of dialogue.
"I understand your position. The other party smiled: "You don't embarrass me, I don't embarrass you." The order from above is to tell me to dismantle the Three Flags Alliance, if I want to make a move, will you stop it?"
Speaking of this, the other party's gaze has become dangerous, and he bowed down slightly, the two bones on his back shrank inward and lifted up, and the frame of his body had an urge to pounce.
With such a close distance, he is good at speed, which does pose a huge threat to Zhou Yang.
If they don't agree, the two are likely to break out into a fight and fight again! He is both tempting and threatening!
"Don't threaten me! I won't eat your set!" Zhou Yang's words suddenly became intense: "No matter how domineering and powerful the forces of the Five Cities are, they can't just let people tie their hands and arrest them! Your Excellency, don't persecute too much! I originally planned to fight tonight, how could I still be afraid of your words!"
The reason why Zhou Yang did not rest and sleep at night was to guard against possible assassination. I was fully prepared, and I even had a plan to kill the other party again like last time.
As long as you have the will to fight, you must be ruthless, and you must be afraid of your hands and feet, and you will lose before you fight.
A few threatening words really didn't have much effect, but aroused a lot of disgust.
It's like the style of the five cities, and he has always been domineering.
Zhou Yang thinks that no matter how powerful the Five Cities are, there are many people who have lost money in Zhenlubao, and it is not easy to act rashly. will know how powerful he is, of course, such a fierce confrontation is also very bad to attract a master to attack.
But if others want to deal with themselves, there is no reason to sit still and not fight back.
It's just that now it's a little different from what Zhou Yang thought, the other party is not a tough person. Sensing that people are difficult to deal with, he decisively chooses not to act.
But after all, there is some unwillingness.
Using words as knives, the two suddenly became hostile to each other and engaged in an alternative confrontation.
"Hehe! Your Excellency's martial arts are powerful, and it's not easy to think about the origin!" The person who came chuckled lightly, and said with suspicion and jealousy: "This time I admit it! Stop it for the time being! But there are many masters on my side, and you need to weigh it carefully how to act! It is definitely not a good thing for you to anger my superiors!"
After speaking, there was a burst of strange laughter, which made people feel creepy, and urged the meaning of the threat to the maximum.
The laughter faded, and the figure disappeared into the night as the figure drowned out the silhouette with its backward footsteps. Zhou Yang's spirit immediately became nervous, and he didn't dare to relax for a while before he was sure that the other party had really retreated.
With a long exhalation, the night finally regained some sense of calm.
The whole thing, from the beginning of the daytime outbreak of the confrontation to the end of the warning, there was no second fight.
In fact, this person is not without the killing intent of revenge, otherwise he would not have left Zhenlu Fort until night. There is no need to stay for such a long time, your whereabouts are revealed, it is best to leave at that time.
But firstly, Zhou Yang's martial arts are very strong, and he can't beat him head-on, and secondly, he has such a deep vigilance mentality, and the assassination will definitely not succeed. Neither end is good, and there is no way to deal with it for a while. He has a task on his body, and it will be difficult to spend an extra day, so naturally it is impossible to do it like this. Threats and warnings, letting go of cruel words, is the last resort, it is really full of grievances and helplessness.
was discovered by Zhou Yang during the day, and he startled the snake, and he didn't dare to continue the beheading operation he originally thought.
If Mao Huai lays a trap, he will plant it.
This trip to Zhenlubao can be regarded as a complete failure. In this Three Flags Alliance, it seems that the weakest and the weakest background, and the best bully party will come out first, which is really a big blow. This time the task was far from as easy as expected.
As soon as the people retreated, it meant that the second attack of the five cities had also failed.
