Wu Gen escaped from the net and had no time to say hello to Zhang Yi. He hurried to the mule, took out his hard bow and attached an iron arrow engraved with blood talismans, aiming at the strange ship rising in the sky.
The two hidden guards have been captured, but if the one in the boat escapes to report the news, wouldn't it lead to even greater disaster?
Wu Gen tried his best to draw the bow, but his old injury had not healed. He had just forced himself to activate his blood regardless of the injury, and his body became even weaker. The bow string was trembling, and it was still difficult to aim the iron arrow.
Seeing that the strange ship was about to go away, a man's voice came from beside him, "How to use this bow." Looking back, it was the red-faced man who had just made tea.
Wu Gen was stunned. When he had tea with him just now, he didn't notice anything unusual about this man, except that his body was stronger than ordinary people.
Looking at the other person's stretched out hand, Wu Gen did not doubt it and handed the bow to the other person, "Just use your blood energy to activate it."
The man took the bow, turned around suddenly, lunged forward, leaned back, and the bow suddenly looked like a full moon.
A hint of stunning red bloomed on the arrow, and ripples of light circulated back and forth on the arrow. Finally, the red light gradually became thicker and turned into white, and the cold killing intent emanated from the arrow, making the faces of nearby people feel a little raw.
Wu Gen couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had never seen such a strange phenomenon since he used iron arrows. This shows how strong this man's energy and blood are.
It was only then that the man released the power hidden in his body, and Wu Gen realized how terrifying this man was. Such a majestic momentum is like an ancient giant beast standing beside it.
With a scream, the iron arrow disappeared in the blink of an eye, so that no one could catch its trajectory.
The strange ship in the sky suddenly stopped for a moment, and then exploded like a huge firework, with pieces of the ship flying in all directions. A figure fell from the boat and plummeted to the ground, apparently dead.
Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Zhang Yi and Hanzi, "Thank you both for your help."
"Wu Gen, right?" Zhang Yi said with a smile, picked up the man's tea bowl and took a big sip.
"Well, sir, why do you know Gen's name?" Wu Gen was a little surprised. He didn't know anyone in Yicheng County.
"My junior brother's name is Lu Ke." Zhang Yi pointed to Wu Gen's sword, "He wrote a letter saying that King Jinchun is trying to arrest you, and he begged me, this senior brother, to help him if he meets him. I didn't know it was you at first. , but that broken knife is really eye-catching, I didn’t expect it to happen to me. By the way, this is Tie Yan, my good friend.”
"Who is your good friend, Zhang Shuworm?" Tie Yan looked disdainful and poured another cup of tea for Wu Gen. "I see that you have internal injuries and you can't even draw a broken bow. Although this jade narcissus is a mortal thing, , but drinking more is beneficial to the body, so you might as well drink more.”
"Tie Yan, why are you so stingy? Why don't you bring out the black narcissus tea to entertain guests, but you only bring out these vulgar things?" Zhang Yi showed no mercy and exposed Tie Yan's background.
"You're making it easy. A thousand pounds of jade narcissus can be fried to make a pound of black narcissus, and all kinds of rare things must be added. I can only smell it on weekdays.
But today, Brother Wu was in his temper. He first offended King Jinchun and then beat up the unruly man. Not bad, it suits my taste, so I’ll take a dip today. Tie Yan turned around and jumped off the top of the mountain, disappearing in a few leaps.
After a while, the person returned to the top of the mountain again.
Zhang Yi pulled Wu Gen to sit down, "Hurry up, I'm still blessed by you today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out his precious tea after searching for iron and stones."
Wu Gen invited Chu Ji to sit down together, and watched quietly as Tie Yan took out a set of exquisite Jianzhan tea sets. The maple leaf pattern on the surface of the tea set was lifelike.
"You need to be calm when drinking tea. These hawks and dogs are really noisy." Tie Yan flicked his finger slightly, and two stones flew out, hitting the two secret guards who had been restrained before. The two of them had been struggling, but now they could no longer move.
Looking at the honest-looking man in front of him, Wu Gen was secretly speechless. As expected, ruthless people hide their secrets.
The water gradually boiled, and the man carefully took out a fist-sized tin can and used bamboo tweezers to pick out three or four black tea leaves.
As soon as the tea leaves come out, a faint aroma floats in, like cinnamon seeds or winter plums, fragrant and fragrant.
Wu Gen's eyes lit up. It was a good tea. The aroma alone was so extraordinary, which showed how precious this tea was. The water in the pot started to boil, and Tie Yan poured the water into the tea bowl. He gently pinched it with three fingers, tilted the bowl lid slightly, and poured tea into the cup in front of Wu Gen and others.
He took a greedy breath of the aroma, and a breath of orchid slowly floated from the tip of his nose to his throat, and his limbs felt indescribably relaxed and happy.
After taking a sip, the unique aroma of pine smoke quickly fills your mouth, and a warm current flows to your whole body, refreshing your heart and making you feel ecstasy. The pain from the old injury suddenly felt numb and itchy, and the discomfort suddenly subsided.
"Good tea." Wu Gen blurted out.
Tie Yan chuckled a few times, "Normal tea only lasts for seven brews, but my tea can last for twenty-one brews. You have hidden thunder in your body, but this tea can dissolve it. Drink more, it will be beneficial and harmless." "
"Wu Gen came all the way, why don't you send some iron stones?" Zhang Yi looked at Tie Yan with a narrow look on his face.
Tie Yan rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yi, but didn't say anything.
The few people chatted happily on the top of the mountain. From the conversation, Wu Gen learned that Zhang Yi and Tie Yan had been friends for many years. When they were young, they used to show off their horses and show off their skills.
However, after going through a lot of ups and downs, I finally found that the world was no longer the same world, and the young man was no longer the same young man. His heart was filled with dust, and he missed his nest, so he chose this place to live in seclusion. One teaching, one tea, which is quite comfortable.
This place is the only way to enter other countries from the east. If it weren't for the numerous letters from Lu Ke, the two of them would not bother to deal with worldly affairs.
Wu Gen was very interested in Zhang Yiyan's method of expressing his emotions. In the blink of an eye, there were storms and thunder, which was very free and unrestrained.
When he arrived here, Zhang Yan also put down his pretense as a gentleman and said with a smile: "Only warriors and qi practitioners are allowed to have magical powers, and we literati are not allowed to have some tricks. To put it bluntly, it is simple, just like the true qi of a martial artist, if a scribe has practiced for a long time, he will automatically Generating righteous energy is also called Haoran energy.
There is an old saying that there is righteousness in the sky and the earth, with the sun and stars above and rivers and mountains below. People call it Haoran, which is why it comes from this. The emphasis on righteousness is to be supreme and strong, with a bright mind, just like the true energy of a martial artist. It also requires constant reading of scriptures to refine one's body.
In fact, there are many similarities between the methods of literati and Qi practitioners, and they can also learn from each other. For example, my master taught me the art of literature, while my younger brother practiced Qi. "
After listening to what Zhang Yi said, Wu Gen gave up the idea of stealing his master. It was more uncomfortable to face numerous papers all day long than to kill himself.
Things were over here, and thinking that there was still a long way to go, Wu Gen said goodbye. Since the secret guards have already chased them here, if these three people don't return, it will definitely arouse suspicion and attract more secret guards to rush here. It would be better to leave earlier.
I looked around at the wreckage and was wondering what to do with it. Tie Yan waved his hand, "You can go without worries, I will take care of this place. If there are people like this who don't dare to show their skin again, it will just add some fertilizer to the tea. Go ahead."
After hesitating for a moment, he still threw the tin can containing the black narcissus over, "It's best to slowly eliminate the thunder in your body with your own strength. Don't think about removing it by other means. The master of thunder is also responsible for life. If you can use thunder to Tempering the body, surviving this calamity is an opportunity. This tea can benefit the body, drink less on weekdays, it can moisturize the slight flaws in the muscles and bones after the thunderstorm."
Wu Gen knew how precious this tea was. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not accept the reward without merit. Even old friends like Zhang Yi could not easily drink this tea.
Seemingly sensing Wu Gen's doubts, Tie Yan said with a simple and honest smile: "You dare to stroke the prince's beard because of your appetite for me. Just do it to these nobles. Why do you want to be so embarrassed?"
After parting ways with Zhang Yi and Tie Yan, Wu Gen and Chu Ji rushed to Yanyang County. From then on, the journey went quite smoothly and no one stopped them.
Arriving at a ferry by the Tuoshui River, the two got on a boat and headed for Zhujuan Kingdom along the waterway. Along the way, I no longer had the heart to enjoy the scenery and stayed in the cabin all day long. This kind of leisure time can be used to sharpen the thunder spirit in the body.
As time went by, Wu Gen discovered that, as Tie Yan said, although the inside of the body was burnt and the bones were sore when the thunder struck, under the erosion of the true energy in the body, the roots and bones gradually became heavier, and the energy and blood became stronger. It is much stronger than before, and the energy contained in the body is also a bit more. It is really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
When the thunder subsides, soak a piece of black narcissus, the aroma will
In the mist, I felt exhausted. The only drawback is that after practicing, there will be some unpleasant dirt on his body from time to time, which makes Wu Gen hide in the stern of the boat and wipe his body carefully every day.
The Tuoshui River does not always go eastward. When it reaches the border between Zhujuan and Zhao, it suddenly turns a big bend to the south, and then turns eastward, forming a huge plain. At this point, the water gradually slowed down, and on the plain where the Tuoshui River turned eastward again, there was built Dongjie City, the last Guancheng in the east of Zhao State.
When the ship arrives here, it is often necessary to change the customs and replenish supplies. When Wu Gen was visiting Xicheng, he forged a set of customs clearance documents. Now he could only hope that King Jinchun's hand would not reach too far.
Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the city boarded the boat to inspect it, and the boss of the boat was a familiar face, so they didn't criticize him too much.
The boat passed the lock and docked in a shallow bay. The people on the boat went to buy some daily necessities for the road. Seeing that they had not seen the sun for many days and had already passed Guancheng, Wu Gen took a somewhat depressed Chu Ji ashore. The little guy has lived in Xingluo Plain since he was a child. He has never been on a boat for such a long time.
The two of them walked slowly along the river bank. Spring buds were already breaking out of the ground on the bank, geese and ducks were rippled in the water, and willows were growing as far as the eye could see. Seeing the beautiful spring scenery, the two of them felt much better, and the tense heartstrings along the way gradually relaxed.
After breaking off a willow tree, Wu Gen made a headband for Chu Ji. The two had fun by the river, and their depression for many days was gone.
After turning around a peach forest, Wu Gen's steps suddenly slowed down, and his expression became a little ugly.
On a peach tree in front, a man was lying on the branch, holding a wine bottle and drinking. It's none other than Xiang Qi.
At this time, he took off his armor and changed into a new outfit, looking bored.
Wu Gen told Chu Ji to stay away and slowly walked over alone, "Brother Xiang, are you here to get me?"
"Of course, how about I come all the way here pretending to be a peach blossom fairy?" Xiang Qi tilted his head and leered at Wu Gen, casually took off a wine flask from his body, and threw it over from a distance.
Wu Gen reached out to catch it, raised his head and took a sip. Wine is something that you drink when your heart is full, drink when you are sad, drink when you are leaving, and they all have different tastes.
Today's wine is even more delicious. The partners who used to fight together are now drawing swords against each other. The feeling of it is hard to describe in words.
The two people were worried, one was lying on the tree, the other was sitting under the tree, both were speechless, sipping bitter wine one after another. When it comes to matters between men, there is no need to think too hard, the decision is made in this sip of wine. new
The spring breeze blew by, taking away the fuzzy warmth and the last sip of wine.
"Fight." Wu Gen stood up and threw away the wine bottle, "I won't beat you to death."
"I will beat you to death." When Xiang Qi turned his head, his face was serious, "If you fall into the hands of the secret guards, your life will be worse than death. How can you be humiliated like this when we are brothers."
"Okay, everyone depends on their abilities. We still don't know who will live and who will die." Wu Gen laughed and glanced at Chu Ji in the distance.
"Don't worry, if you die, nothing will happen to her."
Xiang Qi jumped down from the tree, rolled up his sleeves, pulled out the guard's sword, flicked his fingers, and the broad sword clanked.
