Chapter 43: Opportunity and Afterhand
There is an old book building in the eastern suburbs of Changling, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the Terracotta Division, and most of the books stored in it are some maps, hydrological scriptures and other books, and there are no people on weekdays, but when some ditches are dredging, some officials will come to check some maps, so as not to correct mistakes or block some culverts that are just used to prevent waterlogging.
The sky was getting dark, but a burly man was sitting in the hall at the entrance of the old library, directly setting up a charcoal stove in front of him, boiling a pot of mutton soup, holding a wine gourd to drink himself, the cup was dripping, and he was completely unruly as if no one was around.
The wind swept in, and the charcoal fire was faint.
A black-shirted master appeared at the door in a gloomy manner, and shouted directly with an extremely cold face: "Fan Zhuo, you should understand how much risk my general took to let you go in and out of Changling as if no one was there, but what kind of person are you looking for, who is so arrogant and ignorant as to kill people in the fish market!
Suddenly seeing this black-shirted master who had always been cold so angry, the burly man was slightly stunned, but when he heard such a shout, his face suddenly sank, and the murderous aura instantly diffused from his fierce eyes for no reason, and he sneered heavily: "Qi Pomo, you are also a character who was born and died with Liang Lian, and crawled out of the pile of dead people, but he was angry for a while, but he couldn't even understand his own identity and our identity, who do you think we are?" At this moment, I am sitting here, my palace master is reading the scriptures upstairs, you dare to be so rude, shouting, if you disturb him, do you think I dare not kill you with a sword?"
This unspeakably fierce and unspeakable man is Fan Zhuo, one of the great rebels of Yunshui Palace, and the palace master in his mouth is naturally Bai Shanshui.
Qi Pomo was already angry, but he was swept away by Fan Zhuo's violent gaze, and when he heard the word "palace master" again, his heart was cold, and he suddenly thought clearly that the other party was acting recklessly and unrestrained at all.
The magic carried by the three words of Bai Shanshui instantly squeezed a layer of fine cold sweat on his vest.
He took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect the White House Master to be here, it's too rude, but you are entrusted by others, so you naturally want to be loyal, and now your people have failed to assassinate them, but they have left a living mouth and fallen into the hands of the Shendu Prisoner, so I don't know what the consequences will be." ”
"Missed?"
Fan Zhuo restrained his murderous aura, glanced at him coldly, and only then did he begin to really consider his master's words: "Outlaws naturally have the capital to die, those three people are real poisonous snakes, not arrogant and ignorant waste in your mouth, one of your county guards was assassinated by the three of them." It must be too bad luck, otherwise with the strength of these three people, what is the problem of killing a teenager who has just entered the three realms in the fish market?"
Qi Pomo calmed down a little, and said slowly: "As early as the early years of Yuanwu, the queen wanted to flatten the underground forces in the fish market at one time, but in the end she stopped. The three poisonous snakes you mentioned must still be as contemptuous of the fish market as you are, and one of them has been sent to the Great Floating Water Prison by the Divine Capital at this time. ”
"The big floating water prison?" Fan Zhuo looked at him mockingly and said: "Killing chickens is all with a knife, and what can be tried if you are sent to the big floating water prison, even if something is tried, you and Liang Lian's bodies will not be found at all, what do you have to worry about." ”
Qi Pomo was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Compared to this living mouth, I am more worried about your reckless actions next. ”
"It's a dragon crossing the river, and what you do is a wild thing in itself, how can it be the same as you trembling?" Fan Zhuo smiled arrogantly and said: "Isn't it just a Changling Jianghu character, I will help you get rid of it with my own hands then." ”
Thinking that the other party did have such arrogant strength, and thinking that Bai Shanshui was upstairs at this time, Qi Pomo didn't say anything more, turned around and retreated.
The killing intent downstairs of the old book flickered and flickered, and the words were sharp and sword-shadowed, but upstairs was quiet as usual.
Most of the books on the shelves are old, and the handwriting and patterns on the pages have been blurred.
Bai Shanshui was sitting on the ground under the east window at this time, looking at the heaven and earth outside the window and meditating.
Although he got the guidance, he didn't make any progress in his perception at this time, and he couldn't feel the relationship between the lines on the jade talisman in his hand and the direction of the vitality between heaven and earth, but at this time, Bai Shanshui was not in a hurry, and was in a strange opportunity.
Because he vaguely felt that comprehending this jade talisman itself seemed to be a necessary cultivation process for him.
Those mysterious, mysterious, endless lines extending into the surrounding space... Contemplating these lines and the mysteries of the direction of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi seems to have a great connection with the Eighth Realm itself.
As the spiritual pillar in the hearts of all Wei people, and a person who is deeply feared by all dynasties in the world, of course, his talent is not matched by few people, but even he, after reaching the seventh realm, he will be struggling.
And now, it seems that a road has appeared in the dark night, and he just needs to slowly grope and feel that this road is moving forward.
Therefore, even in the most dangerous Changling, he was in a wonderful opportunity at this time, but he was more peaceful than ever.
Because of the truly rare absolute calm, there were even many white and crystal small droplets of water around his body, as if they were alive, slowly rhythmic, and enveloping his body with a strange glow.
Not long after Qi Pomo, who did not serve in the Tiger Wolf Army, but was actually Liang Lian's most trusted confidant, left this old bookstore, a straight figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Qi Pomo suddenly paused, and said with his head bowed: "General." ”
"There's no need to remind or threaten them of what to do, they have their own measure. Liang Lian, who appeared in front of him, said lightly: "And they are not the kind of people who can be inferred by common sense at all, whether it is them or Zhao Jianlu, they don't care too much about life and death." They all belong to the kind of people who would feel happy when they died if they could cross the Eight Realms and kill the person they wanted to kill with a sword. ”
......
......
In the backyard bedroom of the Wutong Liquor Shop, Ding Ning, who had bathed in hot water, carefully smeared whale cream on his body.
This is a yellowish translucent plaster, just by listening to the slight beeping sound coming from the periosteum in the body when Ding Ning applied the ointment at this time, you can imagine how amazing the medicinal power of this extremely rare ointment is.
It's just that this ointment has a faint smell of sea, and it doesn't smell particularly good, so even through a thick cloth curtain, the eldest grandson Qianxue couldn't help frowning.
Sensing the unhappiness of the eldest grandson Qianxue, Ding Ning smiled slightly and said softly: "I'm really not used to this smell, I'll help you buy some good-smelling incense sticks tomorrow." ”
"This whale elixir can not make people doubt your body, after all, your body is not as weak as it seems. The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't respond to his words, but said coldly: "It's just that Sikong Lian gave you such a heavy gift, what's wrong with him?"
Ding Ning shook his head, "I don't know... It's just that although Sikong Lian's position is high, it is not as generous as those Hou Mansions, and this gift is naturally heavier for him. Presumably, he wants to bet on me, just to bet on what I will help him in the future, but I really want to know when I have a certain amount of cultivation. ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue was silent for a moment, and said, "Even such an assassination was not able to hurt you, it seems that you are more certain than I imagined." ”
Ding Ning's face became solemn, and he said seriously in the dark: "I've gone too fast, but you can't be fast, be more patient." Don't think that my previous choice was right, because this is a matter of luck, if it weren't for Xue Wangxu, I would not have had so many opportunities when I entered the Aries Cave until now, and I may not have the current cultivation. ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue still did not respond to his words as usual most of the time, but said coldly: "This year's Minshan Sword Club has a booklet like that, you have already read it, how sure are you?"
Ding Ning frowned and said: "So far, there is not much certainty, and we must find a way to understand something that can be grasped on the bright side." The sword scripture of Baiyang Cave is inevitably insufficient, and when I arrived at the Minshan Sword Club, my cultivation was at most in the middle of the three realms, so I had to find a way, which was a little troublesome. ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue said: "Even you don't have the confidence to cross the border to defeat, how many people in front of the booklet are really so powerful?"
Ding Ning sneered: "The really most powerful person may not be there, because I know the queen's methods, she usually acts with an ambush backhand, and the backhand will be more powerful." ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue thought about it and felt that it was too troublesome to understand the temperament of these people, so she didn't bother to think about it, just closed her eyes and began to practice.
Ding Ning felt her breathing and fell silent.
She's not that complicated, or too simple.
But the simpler it is, the more valuable it is.
In the early morning of the second day, Ding Ning got up as usual and began to cook porridge.
However, to Ding Ning's surprise, Zhang Yi's voice calling him broke the silence of the early morning again.
"What's the matter?"
Ding Ning opened the door of the store, looked at Zhang Yi, who was already anxiously waiting at the door, and asked.
"The cave masters are all up, and Xie Changsheng and they sent a carriage to pick them up. ”
"It was said that there was a public duel between the people in the pamphlet... If the cave master doesn't have time to see it, he'll be angry again!"
As Zhang Yi spoke, she directly dragged Ding Ning to the door of the small courtyard rented by Xue Wangxu.
Ding Ning frowned slightly: "Who is it?"
