Chapter 12: The Art of Tracking and Hearing
"Brother, what is this, why haven't you taken it out before. ”
"It's something that looks for people, and you can lock a person's whereabouts through the breath. Shangguan Chuanyun was interrupted, and then said a word to Shangguan Qingyun.
"Then why didn't you show it to me before?" Shangguan Qingyun asked with an aggrieved expression.
"If you're bothered, I'll send you back when you ask. Shangguan Chuanyun looked at Shangguan Qingyun with an excited face, looked around and asked himself randomly, and instantly felt a big head for a while, so he said.
"Oh, okay. Shangguan Qingyun saw that his brother was angry, and he was afraid that he would really send him back, so he said with a look of grievance and unhappiness.
Shengjing City is full of traffic, people come and go, there are noisy sounds everywhere, shops are lined up, and a few strangely dressed people can be seen from time to time.
Shangguan Chuanyun and Shangguan Qingyun were swaying on the street, and a person who looked like a housekeeper walked by him, with a few people who looked as strong as black charcoal. Shangguan Qingyun looked surprised and asked.
"Brother, what is that dark-looking man doing?"
Shangguan Chuanyun took a look, this kind of black person has been recorded in the "Strange Things", thousands of miles west of Kunlun Mountain, there are people as black as animal charcoal, strong people, simple by nature, generally purchased as a person who works, called Kunlun slave. But Shangguan Chuanyun didn't want to tell him, so he replied.
"That's for digging charcoal. ”
Shangguan Qingyun thought about it carefully, it was also the case, the beast charcoal was black and shiny, it could be heated by burning in winter, and the smoke coming out was like a fierce beast churning in the air, and the beast charcoal was originally black, and it became black after digging for a long time. I couldn't stop nodding my head thinking about it.
In the end, it is Shengjing, and sure enough, the mountains and rivers in the world are very good. Shangguan Chuanyun looked at this prosperous scene and sighed silently.
......
Outside the kamikaze camp, Shangguan Chuanyun took Shangguan Qingyun to look at the military camp with a somewhat dignified atmosphere.
Shangguan pierced the clouds to operate the true qi in his body, poured qi into his eyes, and ran the qi technique.
I saw that a piece of black gas was formed in the sky above the camp, and the sound of Jin Ge Iron Horse was heard from time to time, connecting the sky, giving people a sense of depression and solemnity.
Shangguan Chuanyun knew that this was the aura formed in the barracks, even ordinary people would feel a burst of oppressive aura, which made people fearful, this killing aura formed in mid-air, the golden iron horse, was generally full of birds in the sky, but even if the cultivators flew over it, they would be hurt by the murderous aura.
Shangguan Chuanyun looked at the aura of this golden iron horse in the sky, and weighed what would happen if he wanted to use his flying sword to slash a sword on it? But after thinking about it carefully, if it was discovered by this person from Shengjing, it would not end well, he was looking for the person who did it to him last night, and it would be bad if there was any accident if he slashed a sword on it, so he suppressed this thought.
Shangguan Chuanyun felt that this person was in the barracks, because the direction was here, but he didn't find the specific place in the barracks
, the kamikaze battalion has about 10,000 people, it is the essence of the Great Liang State, nominally controlled by Wu'anhou, but the real control of most of the troops is by the emperor, among which there are several princes to assist, Wu'anhou really controls only a water army.
There is a killing breath in the army to block, Shangguan Chuanyun can't explore the situation inside, and he can't calculate anything, this situation is equivalent to being covered up by the heavens, everything is the same in the fog, and he can only send people to investigate on the spot, like a master who can calculate the specific situation within the army of 10,000 people, unless it is a true immortal, if ordinary people forcibly calculate, they will be eaten by luck, and even pay for their lives.
Shangguan Chuanyun guessed that people like cultivators in the military camp would not stay in it often, unless they were canonized by the imperial court, they would not be rejected by this kind of military aura with national fortune. Shangguan Chuanyun remembered that although there were also people who were canonized as cultivators in the imperial court, they all stayed outside the city or in the palace to make alchemy for the emperor, but they were absolutely not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the court, especially the affairs of the army.
Shangguan Chuanyun wanted to see what the situation was, and then make countermeasures according to the specific situation.
After watching it for a while, he took Shangguan Qingyun to a restaurant and found a place by the window and sat down.
This position can clearly see the intersection outside the barracks, as long as someone comes out, they will generally pass by, of course, the special Shangguan Chuanyun has no choice, so take a look with the attitude of giving it a try.
Shangguan Chuanyun ordered a few dishes at random and let his younger brother eat them, but he observed the situation outside. There were some people sitting next to them, discussing some parents' shortcomings.
Shangguan Chuanyun listened to it for a while, feeling bored, so he sat outside the world. But then he heard a sound from Shangguan Hongyun and interrupted Shangguan Chuanyun.
"Have you heard, Shangguan Hongyun, the eldest son of Wu'an Hou, was made a general by the saint today. ”
"The Wu'anhou family is already powerful, this time the eldest prince of Wu'anhou was named a general, isn't the Shangguan family even more powerful?"
"Who said no, Mrs. Wu'an Hou is the daughter of General Zhenyuan, and General Zhenyuan controls the entire northern army, even if the saint has to give three points. The father of the second lady is a scholar of the Ministry of Qito, and his status among the civil officials is very high, and the father of the third lady is Jia Wanqian in Jiangnan, who is rich enough to rival the country, and now his son has been named a general, and the Shangguan family is really in full swing. ”
I see, when Shangguan Chuanyun went out in the morning, he saw that the family members were all in a hurry and panicked, and it turned out that Shangguan Hongyun, who was grounded by his father, ran out, no wonder. But then he heard another piece of news that made Shangguan Chuanyun unable to sit still.
"I heard that General Shangguan recommended a master for the emperor this time, who will refine the elixir. This time, Long Yan Dayue gave General Shangguan a marriage and married the five princesses to General Shangguan. A fat boy in brocade said.
"When did you know?" said another emaciated teenager.
Shangguan Chuanyun took a look, only to find that this fat man was gorgeously dressed and looked extraordinary. At first glance, it came out of a big family. The rest of the people next to him were all led by the fat man, and with a hint of respect for the fat man, they continued to hear.
"My dad said it when he first came back, and my dad said something when he came back, and I heard it. The fat man said proudly.
Shangguan Chuanyun remembered hearing of such a fat man, the son of the household servant, because he was in the same department as the second lady's father, Zhang Shangshu, so he heard some of it.
However, in the morning, Wu Anhou strongly opposed the emperor's alchemy, but was rejected by the Shengshang, and heard that the water bandits in the southwest border rebelled and established themselves as kings. The fat man watched as everyone else listened to himself in amazement, and then continued proudly.
When Shangguan Chuanyun heard this, he felt that there was a kind of wind and rain coming, no wonder his father didn't see anyone all morning, it turned out that this was the case, he was sent to the southwest region, and it was estimated that he couldn't get out of it because of something.
Shangguan Chuanyun thought secretly.
"At this time, the current emperor has been fascinated by the way of immortality, and the rest of them can't listen to anything, it is estimated that if it weren't for his father's great role in him before, it is estimated that he will not be easily forgiven for such opposition, not to mention the high power of Wu'an, it is not easy to shake, and he controls the kamikaze camp in Shengjing. Although seventy percent of it is now in the hands of the emperor, for the emperor, Sheng Jing must have an idea that he cannot be completely controlled by himself. ”
"The kamikaze camp was used before the competition for the throne, and now he is already the emperor, so the kamikaze camp is still in his own hands. It is estimated that after my father goes out this time, the kamikaze camp will be completely in the hands of the emperor. It must not be easy for my father to return to Beijing, it is common sense for people to cook rabbits and dead dogs, and it is common sense for birds to hide their bows, and my father has not reacted to watching the kamikaze camp being slowly taken away for so many years, as if he acquiesced, and I guess I also realized this truth. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun was thinking silently, and suddenly saw a person dressed as a Taoist priest walking away from the street in front, and at a glance he could see that this person's aura was very similar to the aura of the thing that attacked him last night, and he took out the arrow to confirm it, and instantly felt that the arrow was stable with this Taoist morale, and Shangguan Chuanyun was sure that this was the person who attacked him last night.
Called Shangguan Qingyun, who was eating, and settled the bill, and then the two of them followed towards the person dressed as a Taoist priest.
The hexagram Taoist felt the spring breeze on his face at this time, and felt that his good luck was coming.
Just now was summoned by the prince of the dynasty, the prince looked at his spell and admired Youjia, the prince also said that he was ready to recommend himself to the current saint, the hexagram Taoist people were particularly excited when they thought about it, if they could get the appreciation of the saint, where would they still need to calculate the hexagram for a living, as long as the saint opened his mouth, he would be a high-ranking official, maybe he would be named a national teacher in the future, and he would dominate the world, then he would have infinite scenery.
Hexagram is a loose cultivator, because he likes to use hexagram to scare people and cheat money, so ordinary people think it is very effective, he just saved a dying monk and was taught to get started, and then the monk died and groped alone, although there is no foundation, but also a half-ass, but in this Shengjing City also has some fame, and there are many people who look for themselves, but they will be rejected after all.
I didn't expect that today's saints advocate the way of immortality, although they are not very proficient, but they can still alchemy, what they are cultivating is the method of outer pills, immortality is impossible, but longevity is certain.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I felt light when I walked. But he didn't notice that not far behind him, a young man with a black sword case on his back, a sword straddling his waist, and a child dressed in gorgeous clothes.
These two people came out of the restaurant and followed the hexagram people Shangguan Chuanyun and Shangguan Qingyun.
"Brother, what are we going to do here. Shangguan Qingyun didn't know what his brother was going to do with him, so he asked.
Shangguan Chuanyun looked at the hexagram in front of him and said, "Go find him to tell the hexagram." ”
"Oh, I've heard of this person, I heard that hexagram telling is very smart, and Mother Wu next to the eldest mother often goes to him to tell hexagrams. Shangguan Qingyun thought about the rumors that the Hou Mansion had heard.
When Shangguan Chuanyun heard this, he felt that his heart was gradually opening up, but there was a sudden enlightenment effect, and he said secretly.
"Sure enough, cultivators have clear five senses, especially sword immortals and the like, and they have a clearer sense of things related to themselves, and through a kind of karma, as long as they are related to themselves, they can have a feeling. I guess it slowly through calculations. ”
Shangguan Chuanyun also felt strange, since his reincarnation, although he had not made an armillary sphere, his prediction of things had become super strong. It seems to be an instinct, when I didn't cultivate the Xiao Huandan, I still need to be assisted by hexagrams, calculations and other assistance to predict things, but now I can predict a rough idea in a flash of inspiration, and I will understand it clearly after slowly exploring.
