Chapter 44: What is Jianghu I
Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it is time for the summer festival of separation, at this time, Lu Dayi, who became the vice president, has been trained from a fat man to a rough and sturdy little man.
And today's Qianbaimo, after two years of studying and various academy activities about "changing the law", it seems that a boulder has condensed in his heart, and his depressed smile is getting less and less, and his expression is getting colder and colder.
Facing Lu Dayi's reluctance, Qian Baimo, who couldn't afford to be so sad, patted Lu Dayi's shoulder and chuckled: "Remember, in this world, only you will always be the protagonist in the eyes of others, and there is no protagonist of your own; I know that you have your own ideals and ambitions, which belong to your life and stage; since you have decided to do it, then perform on that stage and become the protagonist who attracts everyone's attention." β
"Hmm. Lu Dayi wiped away the tears in his eyes, and also patted Qian Baimo's shoulder and smiled: "You are the same, I believe that you will definitely find the promise you want and become the sun that can illuminate all the darkness in this world." β
"The sun?" After thinking for a moment, Qian Baimo laughed loudly: "Haha, don't worry, I will definitely become the sun in the future." Thank you Lu Da Fatty, haha. After Qian Baimo smiled and bowed his hand to Lu Dayi, he turned around and left in a dashing manner.
Looking at Qian Baimo's nostalgic figure, Lu Dayi inevitably felt melancholy in his heart again, so he hurriedly shouted: "Qian Baimo, will we have a chance to meet in the future?"
"If we have a fate, we'll see you in the capital. After Qian Baimo waved his hand without looking back, the figure gradually disappeared into the crowd.
When he returned to Yue Wule's place, Yue Wule had already packed his bags, and waited for Qianbaimo to return to Liujiazhuang to start the next step of cultivation, but after looking at everything around him, Qianbaimo raised his head and said to Yue Wule indifferently: "Second Uncle Yue, I want to go to the rivers and lakes first." β
"What?" Yue Wule, who was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thought that Qian Baimo had been mixed with Lu Dayi in the past two years, so he started to play the heart of the rivers and lakes, so his face sank and said: "Young master, this is the critical time for your cultivation, how can you give up because of fun." β
"Practice?" Qian Baimo muttered and looked down at his hands, and then let out a loud shout, his clothes were shattered in an instant, and more than a dozen black objects flashing with golden thunder flew out.
And as the black object flew out, Qian Baimo's whole body flashed with countless golden thunder lights, his long hair was upside down, his eyebrows were constantly flashing with golden light, and a strange pattern composed of electric light loomed on his blue and white pupils.
"Five Realms of Qi Refining!" Looking at Qian Baimo's sudden burst of fighting energy, Yue Wule and Xie Kun were stunned at the same time, and then saw Qian Baimo turn into five afterimages at the same time and stand in a pentagonal shape, and then the five afterimages kicked out at the same time, and the five golden electric snakes that shot out were entangled in the center into an electric prison, and the five afterimages disappeared, and Qian Baimo appeared directly above the electric prison, and the whole person was like a thunder god who stepped on the golden thunder and descended to earth, with an amazing thunder and lightning momentum to hit the electric prison and poured down.
Seeing that Qian Baimo was about to hit the electric prison, Xie Kun stretched out his hands, and more than a dozen water streams appeared out of thin air around the electric prison, quickly converging into a water balloon that trapped Qian Baimo and the electric prison in it;
At the same time, Yue Wule shot out the folding fan in his sleeve, and the folding fan that opened automatically in mid-air slashed through the water ball like a rotating blade, followed by countless currents as if he had found a breakthrough, following the flying path of the folding fan towards Yue Wule.
Yue Wule, who took back the flying fan, drew a circle forward with his fingers with his other hand, and suddenly all the speeding currents began to twist into a vortex and converge towards Yue Wule's palm, and finally compressed and condensed into a fist-sized golden thunderball, and then Yue Wule threw it into the sky, and the golden thunderball flew straight into the air and disappeared.
When Yue Wule dissolved the thunderball, Qian Baimo had already put away his fighting energy, and then spread his hands to both sides, and all the black objects that swirled around his body and flashed with lightning flew back to the spirit sealing suit.
After Qian Baimo completely recovered to his original state, Yue Wule stepped forward in shock and asked, "Less, young master, this, how is this possible." β
"Hmm. After looking at his body, Qian Baimo also muttered to himself in a little shock, "I didn't expect such a big change." Saying that, Qian Baimo explained to Yue Wule and Xie Kun: "When I was in the Tiangong Society, I found that there were many similarities between the Soul Devouring Magnetism and the Electromagnetism that absorbed the Thunder genus, but I had never had a Thunder attribute before, and at the same time, I still practiced the theoretical practice of the Evil Seed Spiritual Heart, so I reversed the 'Breaking Star Reverse Sutra' , control the Soul Eater Magnet of Thunder Magnetization to absorb the electromagnetism generated around it, and then use the Spirit Fighting Qi that I have refined and cultivated, and transform the magnetic force in the Soul Eater Magnet into Thunder Fighting Qi; β
Listening to Qian Baimo's cultivation theory, Yue Wule and Xie Kun were all confused, the first time they heard that engineering theory could be combined with Douqi cultivation, which made the two of them unable to accept this fact for a while.
Qian Baimo knew that this kind of thing was not something that he could explain in a few words, and there were many places that he was just guessing, so he didn't explain more, and said with a sigh of relief: "Second Uncle Yue, I just want to go and see what the rivers and lakes need to be changed to save." β
"Change?" Yue Wule, as a person who had come over, naturally understood what "change" was, but when a child who was only twelve years old said this word, Yue Wule still felt indescribably shocked.
"Hmm. Qian Baimo said and turned his head to look into the distance and said, "I just want to see with my own eyes the answer that belongs to the change." β......
In the easternmost part of the Xiaoyang Empire bordering the Cold Moon Empire, is the Wukun Mountains, the highest mountain range in the Dongling Continent.
The south of the Wukun Mountains is the largest desert in the Dongling Continent, which was originally the richest salt and iron production area in the Dongling Continent, but because it is located between the Northern Hungary and Donghua, the perennial wars and civil wars have drowned more than ten dynasties that were once prosperous in this long yellow sand.
Now there are three free city ports in the desert Yanhai, with the largest sea salt production area in the Dongling Continent, it is still surviving, because the sea north of the port is blocked by the monster sea area and the natural mountain range of Wu Kun, and now there is only endless yellow sand left in the sky, so that the residents of this land who are still alive are isolated from the Cold Moon and Xia Long Empire into two worlds.
However, it is precisely because of the isolation of transportation that the descendants of the empire who were annexed by Xiaoyang and Xia Long fled here, and cooperated with local sects to restore the former rivers and mountains, such as the Yanrong clan of the Hou Mu Dynasty and the Xiao clan of the Dongyue Dynasty, etc., successively established sects on this piece of yellow sand, trying to achieve the goal of recovering the country by disturbing the forces of the rivers and lakes, and as a result, they became the demon cults in the rivers and lakes one by one.
At the end of this desert to the south is the Sihang County of the Xia Long Empire, which used to be the richest county in the Dongling Continent, and the high-quality silk produced by this county was once the high-grade cloth that countless dignitaries and nobles competed for, and the county town of Yangyue City is located on the east coast of Yanhai, and the sea salt production and transportation port of the desert is connected to the north.
There is a crescent moon island country Haoyue Empire in the sea area east of Yangyue City, because this huge island is bent to the mainland, so a semi-open Mediterranean Sea is formed between the mainland, and the high-quality seawater conditions make this sea area gather a large number of marine life, not only bring rich seafood and meat to the Haoyue Empire, but also produce all kinds of pearls, corals, enter the inland through Yangyue City, and the gentle ocean current and monsoon conditions of Yangyue City have also become the earliest port to trade with the Xiyao Continent.
But with the second demon beast tide, the Xia Long Empire established a new capital Jiuyao Dragon City in the northwest of the Liantian Mountain Range, on the one hand, it expressed the determination of the Xia Long Empire to resolutely resist the demon beast tide, and at the same time controlled the Beilong County at the mouth of the Beiyi Riverγ
At the same time, the rise of the Nanjing Empire, with the advantages of larger tonnage cargo ships and deep-water ports provided by the Yuelong and Hanyue Empires, also slowly replaced the traditional maritime status of Yangyue City, so in less than 50 years, Sihang County, which was once the richest county in the whole continent, gradually became the poorest county in the whole continent, and the old consciousness that has been deeply rooted here for thousands of years has made Sihang County and the two surrounding counties point the finger at the "change" fifty years ago.
It was precisely the change of "opening the port on the west coast" proposed 50 years ago that caused the east coast, which had been prosperous for thousands of years, to gradually decline and decline. This also makes Sihang and the surrounding two counties the main counties controlled by the "senators". However, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the wealth and cultural accumulation of Sihang and the surrounding two counties for thousands of years, even though it has begun to decline, is still in the top ten among the twenty-five counties of Xialong, and the overall real economic volume of Sihang County is second only to Beilong County, surpassing the original capital Nanlong County.
Therefore, with the support of the Senate and the accumulated financial resources, Sihang County and neighboring counties still retain a strong traditional martial arts atmosphere, although the various sects and factions have also begun to change according to the requirements of the Douxiu Association, but for the so-called pro-disciples, the traditional parent-teacher system is still adopted.
