Chapter Twenty-Four: The Comer Is a Guest [Seeking Collections and Recommendations]
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and this sentence is indeed not wrong. Without diligence, there is no free rest. The moment he threw himself on the vine bed the day before, he was so emotional and happy. But what about today?
Wuying asked Wu Qin to freeze the water in the pond with white true qi, and then asked him to use red true qi as a knife to cut ice cubes of different sizes. The size of a watermelon, the size of a pear, the size of an apple, the size of a grape, and finally the size of a cherry.
This is to prepare for the third form of the Sun Sword Technique. The third type pays attention to the accumulation of thick and thin, which seems to be a weak blow, but the damage caused is earth-shattering. Its own attacks are not weak, and combined with the deceptive nature it gives to opponents, the effect is always amazing.
No diligence is still required to control the release of true qi, and this time the object has become ice cubes of different sizes. It is necessary to ensure that the true qi swirls in the ice cube, and cannot destroy the ice cube, and after controlling all this, learn to detonate the true qi at a specific time to cause secondary damage.
The smaller the compression, the more powerful it is. It's like the same weight of a pound, a pound of cotton won't hurt on the body, but a pound of iron on the body is different. In the following days, no diligence began, freezing ice, digging ice, and ice-breaking training. It's not at all easier than being chased and beaten by Shadowless a month ago.
The capital of the ancient Shu king, evergreen city. Since the king of Shu announced that Gu Xingyu, the great prince of the world, was about to get married, the defenders of the four gates of the royal capital more than doubled, and the flow of people out of the city and into the city was controlled every day. A very detailed survey of the foreign population is also required. In special times, there must be no chaos.
There are even people from the forbidden army patrolling the western part of the city, because the western suburbs of the city are closest to the palace. The South Gate is the most lax compared to the other three gates, but it is also the place where the soldiers defending the city show off their strength the most. Nancheng is a civilian area, and there is not even a decent shop, let alone a commercial street.
The soldiers here have the least oil and water, which also causes them to be very short-tempered. The men who came and went walked with their heads down, and when they met a few beautiful women from good families, they stepped forward to tease, which could be regarded as relieving the boredom of the boring life. The people who come here to guard the door are all soldiers who have made mistakes or offended people in the barracks.
Today, there was a special guest who suddenly came here wearing a hat.
"Stop. A soldier stepped forward and stopped the man.
"Take off the hat, and tell me the name, where you are from, and what you are going to do when you enter the city. "It's really that the person in front of me is too suspicious, if you usually forget it, just knock a sum of black money and let it go, but now it's not good, if you don't make a good fuss, you will lose your head.
The man did not speak, but put his hand into his arms.
"Hey, what are you going to do?!" several nearby soldiers all drew their swords and surrounded them. But the man didn't seem to be afraid, and the movement of his hands still didn't stop. He took out a small cloth bag that looked like it was filled with silver.
The man stretched out his hand, and the cloth bag fell into the arms of the soldier at the front. Why is it so light? Is it a silver ticket? Anyway, there was already a lot of silver flying in the soldier's head at this time.
"Good boy, you're pretty good. Wait for the soldier to see what is inside, is it worth the price to let you enter the city. ”
The cloth bag was untied, and inside was a luxurious silk scroll. The soldier slowly opened the scroll, and the first thing that caught his eye was not the words on it, but the red seal of the king in the lower right corner. This is an invitation sent to the vassal states! My ancestors, are you planning to pay a private visit to Weifu? This is not your capital, and if you don't enter the west gate, why are you running to my southern city?
The soldier shuddered and wrapped the scroll and handed it to the man with the hat. "Big ...... Big...... Slow down, my lord. ”
The person wearing the hat never said a word, and after taking the cloth bag, he slowly walked into the south city gate. Why did he come to this South City? Because his previous home was here. After walking through the streets, he came to a sparsely populated mansion.
That's right, it's the mansion. It was on the basis of the land occupied by his family's old house that it was expanded, and it was the reward that was prepared for him at that time. He once wanted to take his mother and second sister to Dongcheng, but his mother was unwilling, saying that she was used to being clean here and didn't want to go to a noisy place.
It's not the noise of the voice, but the usual big and small things. The royal family and ministers occupy the north and west cities, and the east city is full of rich sons and brothers, and it is also a gathering place for commercial streets. It's strange that the fish and dragons are mixed and don't make trouble.
It's a pity that he didn't have time to see his mother and family move into this mansion at that time, and he was told that his mother was killed, just because of the bickering of the prince and princess above, the ministers below remembered it in their hearts, and they all wanted to please their masters. An unexpected order caused his family to suffer an "accident". His hand clenched tighter, and the cloth bag before was the evidence, but when he held the cloth at that time, it was full of blood. This piece of cloth can't be faked, it is the leftover material of a new dress made for him by his mother, and he is going to make another pair of knee pads for him. It has his name on it.
Seeing the big mansion in front of him so desolate, his heart was cold again. As if everything he had done before was not enough to vent his anger, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. Wait, I'm going to ruin your family, even if it costs me my life. More than ten years ago, I should have died a long time ago, didn't I? Reaching into the hat as if to wipe away tears, he soon disappeared into the alley as if he had never appeared at all.
In a small courtyard next to the ancestral hall of the Protector's Mansion, the sound of chanting comes from it every day, but no one dares to approach here, and the people who come regularly only come to deliver food, and the people who come are different every time. There was a subordinate who had his tongue cut off and thrown into a beggar's pile because he chewed the root of his tongue indiscriminately, and he was still a maid, so you can imagine how tragic the end was.
Not only are the people who come to deliver food and clothes different every time, but these people are also regularly sent out of the house. To be precise, it is to send out the royal capital. But the people who came to deliver the food today were very special, and there were two of them at once.
Lou Lanxue and Xuan Kongzi. Although Xuankongzi did not completely cultivate before, he still liked the classics of Taoism and Buddhism very much. A long time ago, he heard someone chanting in the house, but because of the identity of an outsider, the child's body really had no way to run around.
If he hadn't said that he had time to teach Lou Lanxue a few tricks, Lou Lanxue wouldn't have taken the risk of bringing him here. Even if it was her, Lou Yetong didn't allow her to come here and run around. The entire Guogong Mansion, here is the only forbidden place in Loulanxue. Even in the ancestral hall next to it, Lou Lanxue only came once when she was ten years old.
"Empty, you have to hurry. I don't even dare to stay here for long, and remember what you said before, you want to teach me kung fu!" At this time, Lou Lanxue was like a child playing scoundrel to a child who looked younger than herself. Lou Lanxue is an active girl in her bones, but Lou Yetong is reluctant to let her practice martial arts, and even doesn't want her to practice martial arts in her heart. Will she become a female general in the future, and will she die on the battlefield like her son again?
"Got it, got it. You are waiting for me here, otherwise I don't know the way back, your Guogong Mansion is too big, and I haven't recognized it all after coming for so long. Without waiting for Lou Lanxue to be proud in front of him, he jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard with a swish. In fact, he can pass through the wall, but that would be too ostentatious, he is really afraid that Lou Lanxue's girl will argue with him to teach her to pass through the wall.
Xuankongzi jumped into the courtyard, wanting to observe the surroundings, and a sound came from the house.
"Those who come are guests, since they are here, come in and sit down. ”
