Chapter 142: Ask the Sword
Qin Wu sat under a rockery in the secretary's office with his sword in his hand, because one day was the Shiyi, and more and more people came to visit Jiang Dingyi, and he became extremely vigilant.
Since the last time he dealt with the assassination of the God of Balances, although he was not the one who killed the alien god, he dared to face the alien god in that battle, and he also showed admirable strength, so his fame has also become greater.
After that, many officials came over and invited him to be a guard at a high price, but he refused, before he promised to be by Jiang Dingyi's side for a year, he decided not to leave halfway, this is his ethics as a Tianxia swordsman.
When many officials were rejected, they were not angry, but they admired him even more, because no one wanted to entrust their lives to a man who could be tempted by profit at any time.
At this time, he drew his sword and put it in front of him to study it carefully.
After drawing his sword in front of the God of Scales that time, he felt as if his spirit had been sublimated in some way, and he could even stay at his peak for a day without getting tired, which was already remarkable to be able to support half a summer before.
But he couldn't tell what was going on, because in his master's biography, the realm he was in before was undoubtedly the limit that mortals could reach, and it was impossible to break through again.
He had a vague feeling that he could do more, but he didn't know where the breakthrough would go.
Closing his eyes and contemplating, the only ones who can give him the answer now may only be those Xuan Xiu in the Xuan Mansion.
Thinking of this, a figure hidden under a hat flashed in his mind.
"Master, Master. ”
A young disciple ran over, wiped his sweat, and said excitedly: "Master, Jiang Cheng said that he was going out to visit the guests, and asked us to prepare a little. ”
Qin Wu's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Dingyi never embarrassed to guard, where he wanted to go, he would try to explain in advance, and inform him that the temporarily decided itinerary had almost no in the past.
The young disciple hurriedly said: "If you don't go to the city, go to the Taiyang School Palace." ”
"Taiyang Academy?"
Qin Wu's expression was slightly relaxed, the inner city platform was not absolutely safe, but it must be the most heavily guarded place in the Imperial Palace, not to mention in the Xue Palace, the Xuan Mansion was close to the end of the country, if there was a problem here, then all the places in the Imperial Protectorate would not be safe.
He said, "Who are you visiting?"
The young disciple said in a low voice: "I heard that I went to visit Zhang Shenzhi, and said that I should not make a big fuss, just a few people."
"Oh?"
Qin Wu thought about it for a moment and said, "You go and call Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Ling, and talk to him, saying that I will come soon." ”
"Yes!"
The young disciple clenched his fists and rushed away.
After a while, a capable young man and a beautiful girl came over, hugged his fists and said, "Master." ”
Qin Wu looked at the two of them, his spirit was very full, he was quite satisfied, and said, "Follow me." ”
When they came to the side hall of the government office, Jiang Dingyi was already standing there, and changed into civilian clothes, and when the latter saw them coming, he arched his hand and said, "Master Qin, you have to work." ”
Qin Wu replied: "How many of us are engaged in speech?"
Jiang Dingyi said: "Yes, it is not appropriate to go to too many people in the school palace, so I will bother a few people, but that place is not as good as other realms, and there are some things that a few people need to pay attention to." ”
He explained a few words seriously, and he didn't bring any servants, and went directly out of the government office.
The five of them drove lightly all the way, and before they came to the Xue Palace, Jiang Dingyi said a few words to the gatekeeper, and then took Qin Wu and them inside.
After entering the Academy, Qin Wu didn't squint, but just followed Jiang Dingyi's side. And a few of his young disciples were quietly looking left and right, looking at the palaces and houses here.
As swordsmen, although they themselves are literate, they can read newspapers, write letters, and sometimes forget to write.
And the people who can live in the school palace are the people who have the most knowledge in the capital protection mansion, and they instinctively have a sense of awe.
Jiang Dingyi walked along the avenue of flowers and trees planted on both sides of the school palace, although the road is not short, but the scenery here is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, strolling in it, but it makes people feel happy.
Before they knew it, the five of them had come to a place to live.
Jiang Dingyi took care of it, stepped forward by himself, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Zhang Junke is here?" ”
After a while, as soon as the courtyard door opened, Zhang Yu walked out of the courtyard, raised his sleeves and clasped his hands, and said, "Be polite." ”
Jiang Dingyi smiled and waved his hands together and said, "Zhang Jun is polite." ”
Zhang Yu took a step sideways and said, "Please." ”
After Jiang Dingyi invited in, he followed Zhang Yu all the way to the top floor, he stood here, glanced around, and saw that the field of vision was broad, not only many scenes of the school palace could be seen, but also a glance at Ruiguang City, and praised: "Good place." ”
Zhang Yu came to his side and said, "Doing it now, but is it for tomorrow's affairs?"
Jiang Dingyi said with a smile: "If you have to say something, you must have explained it to Zhang Jun, and it is not Jiang Jun's turn to say it, I came this time, someone asked me to bring a few words to Zhang Jun." ”
Zhang Yudao: "I don't know which one?"
Jiang Dingyi said: "It's Liugong Mansion." ”
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand at this time and gestured, and said, "Jiang Cheng, please." ”
As soon as Jiang Dingyi gave him his hand, he sat down under the canopy, while Li Qinghe walked up and made a cup of tea for both of them, and then retreated to the side.
Zhang Yu said: "I don't know what this Liufu Duke wants to say to Yu." ”
Jiang Dingyi looked at him and said, "Duke Liu's Mansion said that he would try his best to weaken the opposition from the capital for Zhang Jun, but he also asked Zhang Jun not to talk about the affairs of the capital at this meeting." ”
Zhang Yu was noncommittal, he had spent some time in the office of the secretary, and he also had a good understanding of Liu Fengquan, no matter what the official did, he had his own interests to consider, so the so-called suppression of opposition was actually someone who had already done his homework, and he was just a favor.
As for not talking about the capital on top of the council, it is asking him not to make suggestions to change the current pattern of the prefecture after becoming a "scholar".
He wouldn't say much about that. Today's landscape cannot be changed with a few simple words.
However, although he has the duty of participating in governance, it is only for convenience, he is essentially a Xuan Xiu, and on the premise of not violating the laws of Tianxia, he does not need to explain anything to the capital.
He said: "Please tell the Liugong Mansion on my behalf, but now the scholar has not decided, but the emperor does not dare to make this promise." ”
Jiang Dingyi nodded and said, "I know, I will definitely bring the words." ”
After that, the two men did not mention anything about the priests and the capital, but only about the articles and the various experiences.
On the lower floor of the residence, after Qin Wu and the others were invited into the house, they were greeted in the guest hall.
Qin Wu had just sat down, then frowned and looked around.
Xiao Zhan noticed it and asked in a low voice, "Master, what's wrong?"
Qin Wu said: "It's nothing. ”
As a swordsman, his instincts were very sharp, and when he entered this room, he always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him.
After a while, the girl Ling'er came over and whispered, "Master, look ......"
Qin Wu looked in the direction indicated by her gaze and saw a little golden leopard cat lying on an elevated shelf, its little tail flicking slightly.
His eyes were slightly condensed, this little ocelot, he obviously didn't see it just now, but now......
When the young disciple saw Miao Danjun, he thought it was very interesting, and said with interest, "There is another kitten here?" He stood up and stretched out his hand, wanting to go up and touch it a few times.
Qin Wu said in a deep voice: "Stop, don't go up." ”
The young disciple was a little confused, "Master?" A kitten, it's always okay to touch it twice, right?
Qin Wu said: "You take a closer look. ”
The young disciple turned his head and looked at it carefully, only to find that there was a layer of aura mist floating on the little leopard cat's body, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Spirituality?"
Qin Wu said in a condensed voice: "This is a spiritual leopard cat, you are not qualified to treat it as an ordinary cat, if it frolicks with you, the few of you together will not be enough for it to play." ”
The swordsman Xiao Zhan said: "This is the cat of Zhang Shenzhi Nursing Hospital, right?"
Qin Wu shook his head and said, "For a Xuan cultivator like Zhang Shenzhi, it should be just an ordinary pet. ”
The girl Xiaoling asked with anticipation at this time, "Master, can our swordsmen be as powerful as Xuan Xiu?"
Qin Wu was silent and did not answer.
The five of them waited here for a long time, during which Li Qinghe sent fruit and vegetable snacks, but no one moved.
About a summer time later, I heard the sound of talking upstairs, and then I saw Zhang Yu and Jiang Cheng walking down.
Qin Wu and his party all stood up.
Jiang Dingyi bowed his hand to the five of them and said, "There are a few masters of Lao Qin waiting." ”
Qin Wu returned the salute and said, "Be polite." ”
He looked at Zhang Yu at this time, hugged his fists and said, "Zhang Shenzhi, Qin has a few words that he wants to ask for advice, I don't know if it's okay?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him, nodded and said, "Master Qin comes with me." ”
Qin Wu hugged Jiang Dingyi, and followed Zhang Yu to the backyard, he saw the bamboo sword on the shelf at a glance, for some reason, he always felt that the bamboo sword seemed to have its own spirituality.
Zhang Yu noticed his gaze and said, "Master Qin, do you want to ask about the sword?"
Qin Wu nodded and admitted: "I can't hide it from Zhang Shenzhi." He paused, "Since that day of encounter with the God of Balance, I feel that my spirit is better than before, and I seem to be able to do many things that I couldn't do before, but the sword skills I have learned have actually come to an end. ”
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Master Qin, you are not a breakthrough in sword skills, but you have realized spirituality. ”
"Spirituality?"
Qin Wu's expression moved, and he faintly touched something.
Zhang Yudao: "Master Qin has practiced swords all his life, and his spirit and mind have long been rounded and fused, but as you said, your sword skills have come to an end, this is because the mortal body can no longer control the next level of swordsmanship, and the last time you encountered the God of Balance, under the spiritual oppression of that foreign god, in order to fight against it, it was self-mobilization of the spirit to come out. ”
He could see that Qin Wu's spirituality was very weak, because the latter had not been able to break the physical shackles.
But even a little spiritual awakening means that you have extraordinary power. Since then, Qin Wu has had the means to confront spiritual creatures, because he can use his sword to cut through that layer of spiritual light.
At this time, his mind moved, and a book flew directly in the air from the study, floating in front of Qin Wu, and said: "Master Qin can go and read this book, but you can awaken your spirituality, and that is because of your unyielding will and pure heart, but this is not something that everyone can do." ”
Qin Wu stretched out his hand to take the book, then took two steps back, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed solemnly to Zhang Yu, then he raised his head and said solemnly: "Zhang Shenzhi, Qin thought that I was capable of one person, but if I could walk out of a path and use it for the thousands of swordsmen in the capital in my Tianxia Tianxia, that would be the great power! Zhang Shenzhi, thank you!"
