Chapter 8: The Imperial Capital

Before sunrise the next day, Su Wanling woke up, just stretched her waist, her stomach "growled" twice, and when she saw that Yan Twelve and Lu Xiaoyuan were not there, she looked around and found that Yan Twelve was not far away, jumped off the tree and shouted, "Brother Yan, you woke up so early." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yan Twelve turned around and smiled: "I was woken up by hunger, I didn't eat much last night, and I wanted to find something to eat early in the morning." But this is the middle of nowhere, there is nothing, and it seems that you can only go hungry. ”

Su Wanling's disappointment was overflowing, and she said with a bitter face: "I knew this was the case, I ate a few more bowls of noodles last night, and now I can't even drink noodle soup." Suddenly he asked, "Where is that idiot?"

Yan Twelve didn't know, he was stunned, only to hear Lu Xiaoyuan shouting not far away: "It's time to eat!" Walking towards them with a string of golden grilled fish in his hand.

When Su Wanling and Yan Twelve saw Lu Xiaoyuan, to be precise, they saw the grilled fish in Lu Xiaoyuan's hand, just like seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva who was saving suffering, staring at the golden grilled fish, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Lu Xiaoyuan walked in front of the two of them, and saw that the two of them were staring at the grilled fish in their hands, and saliva was about to leave the corners of their mouths, so he felt funny, and shook the grilled fish in front of them: "Can you just look at it enough?" and divided the grilled fish among the two.

As soon as the golden grilled fish arrives in the hand, the scorching heat spreads from the palm of the hand all over the body, the fragrance comes to the nose, the two of them gently bite the fish, only to feel that the mouth is full of fragrance, the crispy skin and the delicate fish meat are mixed in the mouth, the deliciousness is incomparable, and they swallow it together.

Su Wanling glanced at Lu Xiaoyuan as she nibbled on the grilled fish, and said vaguely: "Idiot, why don't you eat it?"

Yan Twelve thought that Lu Xiaoyuan might give them all the grilled fish, and he was still on an empty stomach, so he felt sorry and handed a grilled fish to Lu Xiaoyuan, Lu Xiaoyuan shook his hand and smiled: "No need, I ate while roasting just now, and I have eaten enough." ”

Su Wanling said: "I knew that the fish you grilled was so delicious, why did you eat noodles last night, I will eat it every day in the future." “

After Su Wanling and Yan Twelve finished eating the grilled fish, they sat on the ground to rest, Lu Xiaoyuan smiled and leaned in front of Su Wanling, and said, "Girl, are you eating well?" Su Wanling looked at his sneaky appearance, and the word "thief's eyebrows" suddenly surged into her mind, and she said vigilantly: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? Last night, you promised me to teach me a few martial arts." “

When Su Wanling heard this, she was immediately relieved, and said, "What's that, I can teach you a few tricks now!" After that, she stood up, clapped her hands, and asked, "What martial arts do you want to learn?"

Lu Xiaoyuan was overjoyed when he saw that she was willing to teach, and asked rhetorically, "What martial arts do you know?"

Su Wanling said: "My martial arts are all family heirlooms, um.... I'll show you the "Thunder Starfall" first!" "True Qi condensed in both palms, the meridians were transformed, the thunder of the white jade-like palms surged, and the sound of "crackling" sounded, she screamed, flew up, and her posture was graceful, like a yellow warbler piercing the willows, her palms were closed, the thunder light was even more violent, and she suddenly turned around, falling like a meteor, and streamers everywhere.

She didn't activate the spiritual power of the star bracelet, so her power was limited, even so, she still shocked Lu Xiaoyuan so much that she couldn't close her mouth, and she calmed down, and praised: "It's so powerful, what else will you do?"

Su Wanling said: "I'll show you the "Great Fire Flow" again. With her hands flipped, a small flame shuttled between her fingers, and as her true qi intensified, the flame grew and finally became the size of a keju. Su Wanling's legs and feet did not move, but she slid close to the ground, and her pink shirt and green skirt fluttered in the wind, delicate and moving. After sliding out of the two feet, the left and right hands swung out successively, and the two large fireballs burned in the air for a moment, bursting open, and sparks flew everywhere.

Lu Xiaoyuan clapped his hands and praised: "This one is even more powerful, another one!"

Su Wanling was praised by him with a sense of accomplishment, and said with a smile: "Look at the highest martial arts I have learned so far, ten thousand yarrow spirit tricks!"

The petals shot out in all directions, and Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the petals were extremely powerful, and they shot at him like a flying knife, but he was afraid that he would cut his body in half, and he couldn't dodge, shrinking into a ball, and screaming in fright. After a while, he was unharmed, and heard Su Wanling laugh and say, "Idiot, open your eyes and take a look." “

Lu Xiaoyuan slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the petals had somehow gathered in Su Wanling's hands again, condensing into a flower whip, and the colorful flower whips were fluttering and rotating in the air, which was extremely interesting. Yan Twelve saw that her martial arts were pleasing to the eye, and the power was not small, and even better was that she could control the movement of the petals, although Su Wanling was a little jerky and unnatural at this point, she still clapped her hands and praised it.

Lu Xiaoyuan hadn't seen enough, and continued to instigate: "Look, Brother Yan said that you are powerful at this hand, is there any more powerful martial arts?"

Su Wanling demonstrated the "Burning Sky", "Clear Stream", and "Ice Condensing Decision" several exercises, and her true qi was a little insufficient, seeing that Lu Xiaoyuan had to demonstrate it by herself, she said angrily: "Do you think you want to watch juggling? Do you think you don't need to give money to just watch endlessly? This girl has demonstrated so much, which one do you learn?"

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "I think it's very interesting that you controlled that group of petals to dance around just now, but I am going to be the number one martial arts hero in the world in the future, how can I learn this girl's things?

Su Wanling immediately passed the luck method of "Thunder Star Fall" to Lu Xiaoyuan. Lei Xingyuan is the simplest martial art, very easy to learn, Lu Xiaoyuan slowly lucked according to what Su Wanling said, and suddenly said: "Why don't I have true qi in my body?"

This ordinary sentence sounded like thunder in Su Wanling's ears, and Su Wanling looked incredulous, and exclaimed, "What did you say!?

Lu Xiaoyuan said blankly: "This is the first time I have learned such wonderful exercises, I just wanted to learn before, but no one taught me." "The most important thing in martial arts is true qi, all kinds of battles, defenses, body martial arts, and blessing exercises must be based on true qi before they can be activated, and the practice of qi exercises of each major sect is also different, Lu Xiaoyuan has not cultivated true qi, so it is naturally difficult to cast Thunder Starfall.

Su Wanling gasped and said angrily: "You don't have true qi in your body, why do you want me to teach you martial arts? Are you playing tricks on me?" She saw that Lu Xiaoyuan wanted to learn martial arts, so she forgot that her true qi cultivation was this stubble, at this moment Lu Xiaoyuan proposed, thinking that it was useless to spend so much effort, how could she not be annoyed?

Lu Xiaoyuan saw that her pretty face was flushed, her silver teeth were clenched, and she seemed to be going to eat herself, so she suddenly felt a sudden, and said with a smile: "Girl, you, don't be angry, you have something to say, I said that I didn't know anything about martial arts cultivation before, how do I know what true qi I need to cultivate before learning martial arts?"

Su Wanling thought to herself, she had to blame herself for not thinking about it. He sighed, waved his hand and said, "That's it, the initial stage of practicing qigong is easy to practice, and the further you go, the more difficult it will be, and this will accompany you for a lifetime." My practice of qigong is my own family, anyway, I am not in a hurry to cultivate true qi, you can think clearly in the future and then decide which school of qigong practice you want to learn. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan had no objection and gave up.

After resting for a while, Yan Twelve asked about Lu Xiaoyuan and Su Wanling's next step, and learned that the two of them traveled at will, Yan Twelve suggested: "One hundred and fifty miles to the southeast, you will arrive at Suzhou Shengwang City, which is the imperial capital of the Wuwei Empire, prosperous and lively, treasures and strange things from all over the world can be seen, can you two be interested in visiting the imperial capital?"

Su Wanling's heart moved, she pondered for a moment, and said, "It's okay left and right, let's go to the imperial capital to take a look!" Lu Xiaoyuan saw that Su Wanling agreed, and also agreed.

The horses traveled in a hurry, and two days later they arrived at the Holy King City. At this time, the sunset in the west mountain, the three of them watched outside the Shence Gate of the North City, the Wuwei Emperor was really extraordinary: the city wall was extremely high, every brick that built the city wall was half a person wide and one person long, the whole city tower was simple in shape, it was integrated, it was brilliant under the sunset, and the legendary Nantianmen was estimated to be like this. The gates of the city were also several feet high, and they were chained with huge chains to control the opening and closing. The door is carved with a flame pattern, which seems to be burning.

The soldiers guarding the city gate are all in golden helmets and gold armor, holding spears in their hands and carrying treasure knives at their waists.

Suddenly, there was a long roar at the top of the city tower, and the three of them looked up, only to see a blue phoenix flying at the top, with its wings open, three or four zhang long, and a trace of cold air was released when it was fanned, and its body was like a giant sailboat, which was the ice crystal white phoenix of the Arctic Silent Ice Cave. There are four great beasts in the four gates of the Holy King City, the east gate is the Jiao of the Nine Abysses, the west gate is the Lei Tian Lingao, the south gate is the fire unicorn, and the north gate is the ice crystal white phoenix.

The four Rui Beasts were ambushed by the Imperial Beast Master Lieshan Yuanrang a hundred years ago to go east to the Central Nine Abyss of the East China Sea Islands, to the West to the Nine Heavens Angry Thunder Peak in the West, to visit the Qilin Cave in the south of Xinjiang, and to the Lonely Ice Cave in the North Pole in the north, and placed them in the four city gates to promote the national prestige. Later, Lieshan Yuanrang passed away, and Emperor Wuwei put his magic weapon of the Imperial Beast Psychic Bone Flute in the Divine Emperor Hall in the center of the Holy King City, and the four great Rui Beasts were controlled by the bone flute, so that they would not leave or make trouble.

When the three of them entered the city, they saw that the streets were bustling with activity, juggling, showmanship, and buying and selling, and pedestrians were bustling with each other, bargaining, and soliciting guests. The three of them first went to an inn, told the men to feed the horses, opened the room again, and asked for food.

The food in the imperial capital is exquisite, and delicious, it can be said that the color and flavor are complete, the three of them have eaten, Su Wanling claimed to go out with Lu Xiaoyuan for a walk, and asked Yan Twelve to visit by himself, Yan Twelve stared at the two of them for a long time, and said: "Miss Su, I have a poem for you." Su Wan Lingqi said: "What poem?"

Yan Twelve slowly groaned: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, the young man, the lady is good." ”

Su Wanling was ashamed in her heart: Yan Twelve changed the original sentence to "Pianpian Gongzi, Lady is good", which was clearly ridiculing her yearning for Lu Xiaoyuan, she was lively and active since she was a child, and never thought that she was a lady, and then looked at Lu Xiaoyuan's bewildered and stupid appearance, how could she be regarded as a Pianpian son?

Lu Xiaoyuan didn't read much, he couldn't read many words, let alone poetry, and when he saw Su Wanling's expression, he shamelessly asked: "Girl, what do these two sentences mean by Brother Yan?" Su Wanling lowered her head and didn't look at him, and said angrily: "He praised you for your heroic youth." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan was overjoyed, gave Yan Twelve a thumbs up, and praised: "Brother Yan is really good-looking, and he sees it right.... Hey!" Before he finished speaking, he was dragged out of the inn by Su Wanling. Behind him, Yan Twelve's hearty laughter came.
