Chapter 12 A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated
The Dahua Dynasty had a total of eight counties, and each county was named after the names of the academies in each place, which shows the influence of the academies in the Dahua Dynasty. Kyoto does not belong to any of the prefectures because it is a giant city suspended in the sky. It is said that this city was built by the founding emperor of Dahua, who spent a huge amount of money to unite the efforts of all the sons and hundreds of schools, and it took decades to build. There are eight large arrays corresponding to the eight directions in the city below, and the large arrays absorb the power of heaven and earth and operate on their own, allowing people to teleport in and out. There is a constant stream of people coming in and out every day, but they don't feel crowded at all, and it seems that they can never be filled.
At this time, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked out of the large array, this man carried a knife wrapped in cloth on his back, leaving only one knife handle outside, this man walked towards the south in a hurry, as if there was nothing worth stopping and watching. If you look closely, this person is Twelve, the house slave of Menghan's father. At this time, he was not in a small mountain town, but in Kyoto, which is worth pondering. Shortly after the twelfth day out, a white dove flew out of the crowd into the distance.
In Bailu County in the south, after two months of traveling, Menghan and Qingniu came to an avenue, and at the end of the avenue, the outline of a city was faintly visible. Remembering what Mr. said, the name of this city is Bailu. After this city, to the south, in two hours, you can reach the White Deer Cave Academy. Menghan held in his hand the "Music" that is visible to ordinary readers, "Music" is a book compiled by Confucian masters in ancient times to record the rhythm of music, because it is a must-read for students, it is widely circulated, so it can be completely passed down. Meng Han often takes it out to study the rhythm, and plays two small songs when he has nothing to do.
Along the way, the green cow can be fed up, and the green cow does not object to playing the tune, but every time the song is blown by Menghan, most of the songs are sad and desolate, and the green cow remembers the unbearable past, he and a cow in the village fall in love, and the small life does not know how sweet and moist. One day, its wicked master came, saying that he had taken a fancy to his spirituality and wanted to take him as his mount. With a high spirit, I weakly asked my master if there was any benefit, and he only said one word, and I left the beautiful cow in the village stupidly. He said, "Follow me to practice, and in the future, ten thousand cows will worship, and it is not a matter of words what cow you want." Every time he thought of this, Qingniu would burst into tears, which scared Menghan and didn't know why.
Approaching the city, there are gradually more pedestrians on the road, and the strange combination of Menghan and one cow has attracted the attention of many people. Curious, ridiculed, everything, but Meng Han didn't care at all, and sat firmly on the back of the green cow without changing his face. After a while, he came to the city gate, and when he saw the city for the first time, he was shocked. I saw that the circumference of the city wall is 7,174 meters, the height is 9.7 meters, the bottom width is 18-20 meters, and the top width is 6-10 meters. There are four gates in the city, and each has an urn city, in which the west urn gate goes out in the north direction, the north urn gate goes out in the west direction, and the east city gate and the urn gate are parallel and dislocated in the plane and are the same as the east direction. This special setting of the door orientation not only has a favorable military defense, but also has an important waterproof function. In order to strengthen the foundation of the wall, the outer side of the city wall was built with stones to expand the city berth to protect the city wall from being eroded by water. The ancients praised it as "if it is practiced horizontally, the flame of pig iron is prayed for". There is a culvert gate on the east and west sides of the north of the city, and the water in the city can be discharged out of the city in normal times, and the culvert gate can be closed by itself during the flood season to prevent the water from backing up. "Jintang Consolidation" and "Chongyong Barrier Flow" are the true portrayals of this strong and majestic city wall. Qingniu didn't care about this and pouted disdainfully.
"Let Jean, let Jean, say what about you, Tubaozi, I didn't hear it" Menghan, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and looked at the back. There are a few people who look like a family, surrounded by a son-in-law, the child-in-law brother rides a strange beast, this beast is white, like a horse and not a horse, the green cow whispered, "That's a white spirit beast, docile temperament, but unlike ordinary horses, this strange beast has innate ability, as for what, you Grandpa Niu I don't bother to remember, anyway, is there anything stronger than me?"
The boy was pale, with a trace of unhealthy flushing, and his body was weak, and he looked like he was born with a disease. Meng Han took a look at the qi technique taught by Qingniu, and saw that the son's cultivation was only "concentrating", and only had the qi of his arms.
At this time, the pedestrians on both sides were scattered on the side of the road, looking at the boy with a little fear. At this time, only Menghan rode a green ox in the middle of the road. Maybe it's because Menghan's clothes are too shabby, although he is wearing a scholar's robe, but he looks like a dusty man, and he is not a rich and noble family at first glance, and a family suddenly became arrogant and shouted at Menghan. Qingniu was suddenly unhappy when he heard this, and shouted in a low voice, "Grandma, dare to talk to your grandfather Niu like this, boy, teach him a lesson" Menghan smiled bitterly when he heard it, and arched his hand, "I'm sorry, I just arrived at the next time, I don't know who the soil bun you are talking about, I don't want to accompany you." The family saw that he was face-saving, and the boy listened, glanced at Menghan, and closed his eyes and didn't care. The family was even more arrogant and angry, and said, "The soil bun I said is you, I didn't see my son-in-law here, and I didn't give way, I think you are a scholar, you must be going to the White Deer Cave Academy, but the academy recruits a limited number of disciples every year, I have seen a lot of scholars like you, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and hopes to be admitted, I'm sorry! What do you see, do you still want us to slaughter your fat cow?" Looking at Meng Han's eyes were all ridicule and sympathy, who is not good to provoke, you have to provoke the son of the Li family, even the city lord let the Li family, what are you.
Qingniu was in a calm mood, but when he heard the last sentence, he became angry again, "Menghan, kill him quickly, if it weren't for the large number of people here, I would have gone on it myself" Menghan hurriedly comforted Qingniu, the smile on his face was retracted, and he said coldly, "Who is your son-in-law, I don't know, and I don't want to know." As for whether I can be admitted or not, don't worry about it. With that, he walked into the city. "You are so bold, you dare to ignore the second son of my Li family, it seems that I have to give you a long memory today. "After Jia Ding finished speaking, he called out to the people next to him and rushed towards Meng Han together, trying to teach him a lesson.
But these family members, their blood is bleak, they can only bully and bully ordinary people, Meng Han didn't do anything and only "hummed", and those family members felt an explosion in their ears, and their heads were dizzy, and they lost their senses. The people next to him didn't know what was going on when they saw this, so they saw a few family members going to Menghan, but before they could get to him, they fell. This frightened them, thinking that Meng Han would know what kind of demon magic they had. The people around them will be farther away, lest they will not know if they have been tricked. The guards at the city gate didn't react when they saw this, they belonged directly to the city lord, and the people of the Li family fought with others as much as they liked, they didn't bother to care. The dynasty is still martial, as long as they don't violate the king's law, they won't make a move.
Meng Han succeeded in the blow, and when he saw this, he didn't speak, just glanced at the boy with his eyes closed, and instructed Qingniu to turn around and walk towards the city. The boy suddenly felt something, it was a will, coming from the city, and only the people of his own family could feel it. The boy could feel the message from his will, "The Li family must not be humiliated." At this time, the boy opened his eyes, and his gaze at Menghan's back was not good. Meng Han only heard a voice behind him: "The person who beat my Li family, did he just leave? Is it really the second son of my Li family, Li Su, is it an ornament?" Meng Han turned around, frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?" Li Su casually said, "I see that you are a scholar, and it is not difficult for me to do it for you, as long as you kneel down and kowtow three times to make amends, I will forgive you, what do you think?"
When Meng Han heard this, he understood in his heart that he couldn't be good, so he jumped down from the back of the green ox, "What if I don't agree? How can I humbly bend my knees and linger in the world, and besides, what is your Li family, what is worth it for me to kneel down and kowtow, I am afraid that you can't stand it" Li Su, the second son of the Li family, listened, and showed a cruel smile on his sick face, "Very good, my Li family has been silent for too long, and even a down-and-out scholar dares to bully." Today, I'm going to use you to open the knife and knock people with ulterior motives. My Li family has been established for more than a hundred years, and although I practice the way of the Fa family, although it is a side branch, it is not an insult to you. This pen name "clumsy", which means clumsy, is a gift from a friend of the ancestor. But today I want to go against the grain" Li Su took out a brush from his arms, only to see him shouting, "Shangle is threatened by torture and killing, and the world is afraid of crime and integrity, and you dare not be loyal." After speaking, the two vague words "arbitrary" appeared. Li Su took the pen and nodded to the two words, only to see that the phantom of the two words was absorbed by the pen. After doing this, Li Su shouted "disease", and the brush in his hand came out of his hand and flew towards Menghan.
Meng Han only felt a breath of judgment coming from his face, as if he was in the middle of the court, listening to Li Su count his crimes, he had no heart to resist at all, and when he opened his mouth to confess his guilt, it was the time when he died. Meng Han woke up suddenly, a cold sweat flowed down, he was too careless, he didn't care about relying on his cultivation to be high, if Li Su cultivated a little higher, he would really sink. Qingniu looked at it with a relieved look, this kid has not been "abused" in vain for two years. Meng Han untied the flute from his waist, and his expression was serious, "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." Nothing, the beginning of all things. I use "nothing" as a sword to see how you are "arbitrary". A "nothing" appeared from the air, and the flute in Menghan's hand was absorbed. In an instant, it turned into a sword shadow in the sky and went towards the pen.
This was a battle between two schools of 'art', and the cultivators around them only felt that the two wills were invisibly colliding in the air. The qi and blood of the weaker ones are tumbling, and they are extremely uncomfortable. Ordinary people can't feel it because they don't have a 'spiritual root'. Menghan's cultivation has now reached the middle stage of "concentrating", and his own 'qi' is poured into his limbs, and his cultivation is more than a little higher than Li Su's, so under the battle of 'art', Li Su only feels that his cultivation is gradually exhausted, and he suddenly falls behind. The pen's luster faded, and a tiny crack appeared. Li Su, who was in the middle of it, only felt that he suddenly had no desires and no desires, and he was confused, and he had no desire to fight at all. I don't want a better way of cultivating, a higher way of cultivating. I didn't want to challenge my eldest brother, and suddenly there was a shout from the city, "Er dare". Meng Han only felt a shock all over his body, his qi and blood rolled, and he hurriedly called back the flute and turned into a sword shadow to protect himself.
With Menghan's defense, Li Su spat out a mouthful of blood and came to his senses. Looking at the pen in his hand, his heart suddenly caught fire. This pen of his own is a high-quality weapon, how rare it is. The higher the grade, the higher the cultivation that can carry oneself, and the greater the power it can exert. It is not worth it to cause damage to the 'instrument' because of the difference in one's own realm. He didn't think that it was caused by the difference in the level of the 'instrument', the high-level 'weapon' is very rare, just like the dream of being poor and sour, it is luck to be able to have a low-grade 'mortal weapon'. However, he didn't know the treasure weapon in Meng Han's 'weapon', but because Meng Han's cultivation was too weak, he could only play a small part. If so, it is unknown whether it will vomit blood again.
A figure slowly walked at the city gate, and the green cow looked up and pouted disdainfully, lying on the ground and falling asleep. Meng Han's expression was serious, and the fighting spirit in his body was fierce
