Chapter 31: Strangers on the Road
In the afternoon, Baili fog saw no one, and walked into a hidden path, which was a fork in the road, so that there was no need to wander on the edge of Shengxian Mountain. There is not much silver and gold left on his body, but fortunately, he can barely use it. In this area, it is also called the Yin slope of Shengxian Mountain, and there is a small city called Xiaoyin City.
In Xiaoyin City, Baili Wu will not break indiscriminately, because there will be henchmen of Huiyang Dao people here, and they may also meet ghost people, plus they are not familiar with life, and there is no way to find Lu Xiaoliu. It's good to be at home, but it's hard to go out, and there is a sense of wandering desolation in the fog.
Baili Wu put on a hat to cover his face and walked around Xiaoyin City, he didn't meet anyone from Huiyang Dao, and he didn't find Lu Xiaoliu, so he went to the inn to meditate cross-legged and practice the aura technique, and after an hour, he opened half of the fairy island map in his dream, and heard that there was a set of martial arts cheats in it. Baili Mist carefully opened the dream fairy island map. This picture is painted by an ancient celebrity, and it is an authentic work, and the destruction of the original work is basically of little value. The value is in what is hidden in this painting.
Xiandao is very dreamy, foggy, and I can't find any mystery on the surface of the painting. Carefully opening the half-cut scroll, he found nothing, and careful observation of each stroke and stroke still made it impossible to understand the mystery.
Finally, on the cut of the sword, it was seen that the painting was three layers of paper, but the middle layer was not paper, but a golden silk cloth.
What is written is not a surprising masterpiece, but rather an old monk telling some useless foundation. It reads: "The so-called merit is naturally accomplished, and all small steps accumulate and big strides are made." The tricks of taking radical tricks are all deceptive talk, many Taoist sects, none of which can use the true scriptures, most of them are summarized in experience, and improved in lessons. Attacking and defending the road must first be perceived in order to win, and only then can we have the opportunity to make a move; anticipating the enemy's first opportunity, attacking the enemy before making a move, hurting his difficult to defend the situation, and taking him by surprise is a unique move. Cultivation, strength is the source of victory, the subtlety of the move is not as good as the strong, the power is the base, the divine will is clear, otherwise, it is all empty talk. ”
"There are a total of thirty-six deadly sword techniques, although they are exquisite, they are not very useful. The real offense and defense, fast, accurate, stable, ruthless is the king, how can there be a sword from the gods, a knife from the devil? Those who have perseverance and perseverance can succeed, and if they are enlightened and enlightened, they will naturally be able to comprehend more. How fast is it? Be good at observing the opponent's movements, judging the direction and power of the person's moves according to the subtle changes in his body, so as to carry out faster volleys, just like guessing punches, the difference in an instant is the key to victory. Practicing the inner strength of the mind and constantly improving the foundation is a trick to achieve such a state, if you only understand, it is useless. ”
The words on this silk cloth have been immortal for thousands of years, and this ink is definitely a treasure, but when it reappears in the light of day, it is all nonsense. Who still doesn't know that "overcoming ingenuity with force" and who doesn't know that "the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken"? But how to generate power and how to be as fast as lightning? However, it is not unreasonable, although many people also understand this truth, such as hard training. The Deadly Swordsman used to be a generation of power, and it was not luck to be bloody in the world of cultivating immortals, and it was no luck under his reputation. In fact, there is no trick, if there are really people, and many people will, then there is no invincible person in the world. Today's six major sects, the so-called tricks and secrets that are not passed on, are also flawed, how can there be invincible tricks in the world. No, therefore, you have to practice hard, practice the aura trick hard, not only will you have the power of voice, but you can also reach the realm of the realm of perfection, and you have to work hard to be fast and steady, especially the previous move, which seems to be very important. In the world of cultivating immortals, you can't be afraid of the head, once the time is ripe, you will come forward, accumulate experience in actual combat, and summarize lessons in experience.
Baili Wu stuffed the silk cloth back into the half-section of the scroll, and then stuffed the scroll into the crack in the wall, thinking about the meaning of these words repeatedly.
Xiaoyin City has been lurking for three days, and there is no shadow of Xiaoliu on the road, and the gold and silver are about to be spent, and the agreement with the white ape man in Anhu Mansion is almost time, so he hurriedly settled the bill and stepped on the sheep road.
......
Anhu Mansion is an ancient city, which was not called Anhu before, but Huma, and later changed its name to the dynasty. This ancient city has a long history and is an important town in the northwest direction, which has gone through five dynasties. The rise and fall of each dynasty has been in this ancient city of gold and iron, the roar of the blades, the blood-stained city wall, is an important pass city, is a traffic artery, but also a defensive town. Such an ancient city has countless historical legends, and there have been many heroes and heroes, and its light shines on the demon fairy country and the world's immortal cultivation world.
In addition to Anhu Mansion, the periphery is the county governance called Anding, the county yamen works outside the west gate, Anhu Mansion really can't stay, there are countless dragons and crouching tigers inside, there are countless masters, and the county master can't take care of it, so he ran outside.
People in this area are also accustomed to calling themselves stable people, the world is peaceful, stability is also people's expectations, the stability of the demon fairy country is directly related to this important city, if you want to say that it is Anhu people, many people think it is very strange, here are obviously stable people, the difference between one word is very big. Perhaps this is a matter of culture, formed over thousands of years, and the locals are even more proud to be stable people.
Anhu is very large, squarely built between two mountain peaks, and is also very prosperous, you can't find the broken alleys. Several clear veined streets are full of traffic, there are ancient buildings everywhere, tall archways, and countless civilians don't know who lives in the tall mansions, except for those who often show up, there are many hidden characters behind them.
The flame is the hope of mankind and has created countless miracles, but when the beacon fires the plains, there is only killing. No one knows when the glory of the city will disappear, and the places of interest and tall buildings of all dynasties have been destroyed. But this stability is immortal and immortal, it has always existed, tenacious, brave, like a gatekeeper guarding the gate in the west of the Demon Immortal Country, standing for thousands of years. Especially after the war, it will be rebuilt by the Imperial Dynasty. The capital is forty miles large, and there are nearly thirty miles here, so the stability is large enough, large enough, and the population is large, and the personnel are more complicated.
Although there are four gates in the middle of the two mountains, the city wall is more than four zhang high, and the top of the city wall is very wide, and the large trailer of four horses or deer-footed phoenixes can run away.
When you get to Hengshui Bridge, it is past dusk, and there are still ten miles of fog from Anding City, and eight or nine out of ten you can't get there, because Anding City has rules, and the door is closed at dusk, and the rooster crows to open the door, unless it is someone from the capital or the real ruler of the city, the King of Xichu, there is no privilege. The real ruler of this Anding Mansion was the king of Western Chu in the current dynasty.
Hengshui Bridge is next to Hengshui, which is a big town here, close to the city, and the development of villages and towns is generally relatively fast, unless the leader has nothing to do. Hengshui Bridge is the place where the nobles were sent to the Anding Mansion in the past, and they usually say goodbye here, send the gentleman to ten miles, and the affection is also heavy. Therefore, the Hengshui Bridge is also famous all over the world. However, in the past, Anding Mansion did Kyoto, but now it is not, and this noble person will not be able to reach the scene of the year, at that time, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, princes and nobles, are all giving people here, natural pomp is not small, now it is not so popular, but it has also formed a custom.
Baili Wu also made it difficult to get here, it was really a penny to suffocate the heroes, people couldn't play around outside without money, and even eating became a problem. Baili Wu has been in the immortal cultivation world for a short time, and he is not very good at making money, just like a freshly graduated Xiucai, a little stupid. Eating and drinking for nothing is not the style of a hundred miles of fog, if the white ape is fine, he really can't handle such a thing.
"Ahem, I'll find a temporary place to stay. "Baili Fog secretly decided. As for entering Anding City tomorrow, there is no plan for how to live and develop in the future. After meeting with the white ape-man, there is still a chance, but there are still five days before the time agreed by the two of them, and living in the next five days is a problem, so you can't live on the street, it's really not a monk's face.
"Forget it, I'd better go settle down first. Anyway, there is no place to live. The fog quickened its pace, and the walk continued westward, and soon it was dark. At this time, it is the winter season, and the cold wind is biting, and it is even colder than the winter day when the snow cover is warm. There are many people in the town who "try" to pull him into the store, but they have no money on them, so they have no face to live. The lights of Hengshuiqiao Town are getting farther and farther away from him, like a firefly in a cold and dark night, but it can't warm the people traveling west.
Baili Wu was walking, and suddenly remembered the sound of the deer-footed phoenix running wildly and stepping on the snow and splashing behind him, and he came close in the blink of an eye.
The road here is spacious, since ancient times the official road has been formed, the traffic of cars and horses is not endless, it is a daily life, when the snow melts, the muddy water splashes, the road is black, slightly muddy and wet, and the road in the middle of the night to form the black road seems narrower. At this time, people generally like to step on the snow on the side of the road, while chariots and horses like to walk in the middle to avoid getting off the road and the wheels overturning.
The deer-footed phoenix ran extremely fast, faster than ordinary horses, and the fog stood outward as much as possible, but the speed of the two deer-footed phoenixes was too fast, and when they passed, they splashed countless muddy water, and said secretly: "These two people are so rampant, and they don't slow down when they see passers-by, and they know the season of muddy water splashing, which is really rude." ”
Suddenly, the two horsemen who had run four feet away grabbed the reins, and the deer-footed phoenix raised its hooves and turned its head around, while the person on the deer-footed phoenix was steady, as if nailed to it.
"It seems to be him!" said one of the men.
"Big brother, don't be reckless, don't ask. Another man said.
The two men stood on the side of the road, waiting for Baili Wu to approach. Baili Wu was wearing a cloak and hat at this time, a sheepskin jacket and blue cotton pants, on the surface, there were no other objects on his body, and there was no horse bag, not like a person who performed, nor like a local, he was very strange in the dark night, tall and mighty, and it was inevitable if the other party was wrong.
In addition to the white ape man and Lu Xiaoliu, Baili Wu has no other friends for the time being, and maybe there will be no more in the future. He hurried away by himself, no matter who your passer-by was, he rushed at the rude appearance of the two of them just now, and Baili Wu was also annoyed in his heart: "They have sword magic weapons on their bodies, their breath is stable, and their aura fluctuates, they must be monks, and eighty percent of them recognize the wrong person." ”
When the eldest brother saw that Baili Wu was about to walk straight over, he suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
