Chapter 20: Xu Yuntian was assassinated outside the city
Xu Yanshan, who has never interfered in the affairs of His Royal Highness Gongzi, suddenly became extremely attentive to him at this time, and he stayed in the small courtyard of His Royal Highness Gongzi for several days to personally guide his martial arts practice, Xu Yuntian thought that he had gotten up early enough, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Yanshan was earlier, and just after the fourth watch, he found the door of His Royal Highness Gongzi and asked him to practice in the morning.
Xu Yuntian has no complaints about this, the old guy is rarely interested, and it is too late to be flattered.
According to the old guy, the best morning practice of martial arts, the fourth watch day to the fifth watch day is the moment when all things wake up, before the heaven and earth are clear, everything is silent, and it is the time when heaven and earth are the most calm, and heaven and man are one.
Those martial arts students are basically three or four years old when they are young, and they start to practice martial arts at the age of six or seven, Xu Yuntian is fourteen or fifteen years later, if he doesn't work hard, I'm afraid that no matter how much family background the king of Nanzhou has, he can't make up for this gap.
"Look at your knife, soft and weak, who of the old men in Tiannan is as weak as you! Hold the knife by the forearm, control the knife with the wrist, and the five fingers and the blade of the knife are one!"
Listening to Xu Yanshan's vicious scolding, His Royal Highness Gongzi tightened his arms and tried his best to follow what he said.
During this period of time, Xu Yuntian practiced sword soldiers every morning, ran sixty miles at noon, and repaired his inner rest at dusk, and the high-intensity physical consumption brought about a great increase in the amount of food, and in the past, two bowls of rice food could fill the stomach, but now it is at least six meals a day, and big fish and meat are indispensable for meals.
Xu Yuntian puffed up his strength, and the green tendons on his right hand holding the knife burst out, and then according to his father's words, he slashed it fiercely, and in an instant, the training stake in front of him was split in half diagonally.
Looking at the wooden stake that was split in half, His Royal Highness Gongzi breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and secretly said that he had completed his practice.
Xu Yanshan kicked the wooden stake on the ground to the side, and scolded and said: "What kind of flute, do you think this is done? Go and move the pure copper martial arts pile in the courtyard of Anguqing, if you can break the gold with one sword, it will be considered Hinayana one day." ”
Xu Yuntian, who was preached again, was speechless, and secretly said that others say that my ruffian-like character seems to have been passed down from you, but he didn't dare to slack off in his hands, and hurriedly went to the pure copper martial arts pile like the eldest lady's yard.
Qi Yunyan, who was the maid in the palace, couldn't help but take a sneak look when he passed by the compound of His Royal Highness Gongzi, and saw that Xu Yuntian was naked and only wearing a black shorts, the ground under his feet had already been soaked with sweat, and the blunt knife in his hand still kept slashing at the bronze man. I can't help but marvel at this guy's perseverance, it's too strong.
Then he was deeply worried that it would not be long before he would be able to enter the Hinayana realm, and then he would leave himself behind him, and it would be difficult to kill him again in the future.
The end of the year has come, the bustling Nanyang City in the past is less than half of the people here, those who have come all the way to Nanyang Bo a future most of the people have returned to their hometown to prepare for the New Year, and now stay in Nanyang are not natives or those who are reluctant to go home.
Rao is so much more angry than before, and there is no sign of that kind of person going to the city.
Under the deliberate indulgence of His Royal Highness Gongzi, those Jianghu thieves who explored the low martial arts attainments in the palace were spared their lives by the doorman staff hidden in the corner, and they were all guided to Xu Yuntian's small courtyard as a stepping stone for sharpening.
"Phew!"
Xu Yuntian slashed an unpopular sect spy with a knife, took out a handkerchief and wiped the knife, and spit out again: "It's boring, it's not even a one-in-one enemy." ”
He said to the interested old Yan who was squatting on the edge of the door: "Ming'er asked the staff in the house not to let these thieves in again, they should be killed outside the house, and it is not easy to clean up if the floor is stained with blood when they are put in." ”
Then he changed into a loose suit, and ran out of the palace to the outside of the city.
In four months, in the third month and eight days of martial arts, he achieved the sword breaking the golden stone, and officially stepped into the first realm of martial arts-the Hinayana realm.
Hinayana is Mahayana, and Mahayana is no longer something that can be achieved through simple body strengthening, practice, meditation and inner breathing.
Xu Yanshan asked him to learn to shoot, so that he could inherit his marksmanship in the future, and said that his marksmanship swept in all directions, which is the blade that can best reflect the man's spirit, and it is not a problem to fight ten or even one hundred battles.
The old lame man secretly asked him to learn the cane, and the stick can be changed in every way, which can be used as a gun and a knife and even a sword move, which is said to be flexible and changeable, and is the most suitable character for the prince.
Even the blind Lao Zhang secretly looked for him when there was no one around, and wanted His Royal Highness Gongzi to learn unparalleled archery from him, and when the time came, Xu Yuntian was moved when he heard it, but after knowing that the old blind man's arrow needed to open his own eyes and open his 'heart eyes', he dispelled this idea.
Just kidding, doesn't closing your eyes mean being blind, as for when did the happy eyes happen, the old blind man didn't open the 'heart eyes' at any age, Xu Yuntian didn't want to be unable to see the wind and snow moon and the big girl's seductive ketones in his life, and he would suffer if he thought about it.
I simply don't want to learn, what about sweeping all directions, what about the ever-changing, what about a thousand miles with one arrow, Xu Yun chose a dagger.
One inch is long and one inch is strong, one inch is short and one inch is dangerous, what about the way of soldiers, what you have to do is that there are dead and lifeless assassins within ten steps.
In the middle of the day, it was noon, Xu Yuntian responded slightly to the military salute of the soldiers stationed at the city gate and ran around the city, Nanyang City was forty miles in a circle, and it was eighty miles in two circles.
At noon, I went out of the door, and Shen Shi returned for just three hours.
Xu Yuntian from west to east, first ten miles to the east school field to get thirty pounds of heavy iron chest guards to put on, and then run thirty miles to the west school field to get twenty pounds of iron knee pads to put on, and finally run to the gate of Nanyang City to hand over the weight to the guards guarding the city.
The red-armored soldiers were all dressed in armor, and their clothes and blades weighed almost one hundred and twenty pounds, and Xu Yuntian felt that his weight was still too little.
In less than three moments, Xu Yuntian has been running around the city for sixty miles, the weight on his body has become heavier and heavier, and every step is sweating like rain, and then there are ten miles to the west school field, and the west school field is close to the middle gate as soon as it passes. His Royal Highness Childe gritted his teeth and kept his regular breathing undulating.
In this section of the land, there is a collapsed grass temple, and there is a long-dead white willow growing next to the grass temple.
This area is mostly a place where snakes, insects, rats and ants gather on weekdays, one hundred and eight "soapy white phoenixes" raised in the palace like to come here to hunt the most, every time Xu Yuntian runs here, you can see a group of birds and birds staying on the dead trees next to the grass temple, "soapy white phoenixes" recognize people, meet people who know and will pay attention, it can be said that it is quite spiritual.
"Strange, why didn't a single bird stay on the dead tree today. ”
Xu Yuntian was still a hundred meters away from the grass temple, and from a distance, he could see that the dead trees were bare, and he secretly said that there was a beggar and a wanderer who did not have long eyes to drive away the birds here.
But after thinking about it, who in the entire Nanyang City didn't know that these "soapy phoenixes" were raised in the Nanzhou Palace, and whoever ate the bear-hearted leopard dared to disturb them.
Once the arrogant young master of the Chengxi Zhonglang family set his eyes on this group of birds, and secretly brought a few cronies to protect one here and brought one back, thinking that one hundred and eight would not be noticed if one was missing for some reason, but how did he know that this white-fronted pigeon was extremely human, and he flew into the clouds and followed him until the house.
The next day, the palace found that the white pigeon had not returned all night, and sent someone out to look for it, but found one hundred and seven phoenixes hovering over the mansion of Zhonglang General.
After that day, the young master of Zhonglang's family was broken by his own father, and then he was asked to crawl and send the birds back to the palace. Since then, no one has dared to fight the idea of this group of birds, and the Zhonglang general of the official residence and the third grade is still like this, if he wants to change the businessman, the commoners will not even have their lives.
Xu Yuntian slowed down, and the sudden disappearance of birds and sparrows made him feel a little uneasy.
"Whew!"
A sound of breaking the air came from the grass temple, shooting directly at the forehead of His Royal Highness Gongzi, so Xu Yuntian was nervous at this moment, and he dodged sideways.
Then he stopped, looked at the grass temple coldly, and said, "Where did the thief come from, dare to block the way of this son in Nanyang City." ”
In response, he was greeted by four or five sharp arrows that shot straight at the door.
Xu Yuntian dodged a few sideways again, and said, "If you don't have the archery skills that are not in the stream, let's show up and let my son see the truth." ”
There is an arrow god like the old blind man in the palace, and it is very simple to hide from ordinary bows and arrows, Xu Yuntian is fortunate to pester Lao Zhangtou to learn a few tricks, which just comes in handy at this time.
There was no response in the grass temple, and then there was a sound of rustling, and seven or eight big men dressed in black clothes and wearing hats walked out of the grass temple and surrounded Xu Yuntian. The blade in his hand was a sign that it was for his life.
Turning around and looking around, Xu Yuntian sneered: "The rat who hides his head and tail, doesn't he even dare to show his face when he assassinates this son? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he trembled at this Xu Yuntian's hat, as if he really had scruples.
Said: "His Royal Highness the prince has the courage, this is different from the rumors in the world that he can't support the wall waste, and I thought that His Royal Highness the prince would be so frightened that he would be so frightened that he would spread on the ground when he saw me." ”
"But it's a pity, His Royal Highness Gongzi is right, we are just afraid that you will get out alive, so please go down and ask the king of Hades. ”
After saying that, he glanced at the person next to him, and immediately a group of people slowly approached.
Xu Yuntian secretly said that he was still careless, he didn't expect that it would not be a safe place to leave the palace, and these sub-sect families now dare to send people to assassinate in broad daylight, but his thoughts turned sharply in his heart, thinking about how to get out now.
Just as the group of black-clothed people raised their knives to get on it, Xu Yuntian suddenly shouted.
"Wait!"
