Xunyang Houfu.
A yard planted with various exotic flowers and plants.
Jiang Wang lay on the wicker chair and squinted his eyes.
I thought carefully about the scene when I faced the monsters Zhuan Yong and Su Lingyi.
He was basically sure.
That power will only appear when you are under great threat.
To fully control that power, he had to constantly put himself in danger.
According to my weak body, it seems to be a very simple thing to encounter danger.
He even wondered if this power was already in his body?
It's just that he was protected at home and not allowed to go out, so he had no chance to encounter danger. Otherwise, wouldn't this power have appeared very early?
He had been studying the knife for the past two days and found nothing special at all. If it wasn't the knife, then this was the only possibility.
The only maid in the Hou Mansion was holding a big long sword and walking out of the courtyard in disgrace. She called out softly, "Young Master."
Jiang Wang glanced sideways at her, "Xiaoyu, girls should be reserved and don't always wield swords and guns. Look at you, you look like you've rolled in a mud puddle, how can you be worthy of my prince's mansion?" The identity of the maidservant."
Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to wipe his face, threw away the big sword in his hand, and cut off the leg corners of the wicker chair.
Jiang Wang was so frightened that he folded his legs and cursed, "Sooner or later I will die in your hands!"
Although Xiaoyu's face is dirty, it can still be vaguely seen that he has a good appearance, a plump figure, a young age, and a slim figure that has already reached maturity.
But that look was so cold that Jiang Wang didn't dare to look at it.
"What's the matter?"
Xiaoyu said softly: "Young master said that he found the ultimate secret book for me. I have been practicing it for so long, but it is of no use at all. You are not lying to me, are you?"
Jiang Wang closed his eyes and said calmly: "How could it be useless? You almost killed me several times with a big long sword. Besides, since it is a peerless secret book, how can it be easily practiced?" You have to be patient.”
Although Xiaoyu felt that these words made sense, he still felt that something was not quite right.
How can there be any unique secret book that only teaches how to swing a sword but not any other tricks?
Looking at Xiaoyu who seemed to have been fooled temporarily, Jiang Wang was actually very melancholy.
Three years ago, he sneaked out of the Hou Mansion and wandered around Qixia Street.
I encountered a small fish that seemed to be being hunted.
That was also the first time Jiang Wang met the monk.
At that time, he felt that this girl Xiaoyu was very extraordinary.
After all, he was being hunted by the rumored monk.
If the old housekeeper hadn't appeared in time and hid with Jiang Wang and Xiaoyu.
I'm afraid they all have no chance of survival.
The purpose of Xiaoyu's martial arts training is naturally to take revenge.
But although she looks very cold and intelligent, she is actually a bit stupid.
He actually wants to practice martial arts to fight against the monks!
Jiang Wang certainly wouldn't let Xiaoyu die.
But in order to give Xiaoyu a goal to strive forward, he deliberately made a so-called peerless secret book for her to practice.
She is obviously a simple and silly girl, but she spends her whole day thinking about how to kill the monks.
It's really off the mark.
What convinced Jiang Wang was that Xiaoyu seemed to have actually developed some skills even though it was just a fake secret book.
The west wall of the Hou Mansion was destroyed by Xiaoyu's sword every two days, and the cost of repairing the wall was unknown.
At this time, a lame old man came to the yard. He looked at Xiaoyu kindly, then bowed to Jiang Wang and said, "Sir, there is someone visiting outside the house."
Jiang Wang was very surprised.
If it was still just matchmakers who came to visit, the old housekeeper would not come to report, but there have been no serious ones coming to visit the Hou Mansion in the past two years.
...
Outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, stood an old man wearing a gray cloth gown, holding a fly whisk, and looking like a fairy.
Jiang Wang was surprised when he saw the person coming, "Master Tao Tianshi?"
Celestial Master is an honorific title. It is said that such people know how to draw talismans to ward off demons.
Although Jiang Wang had never seen it with his own eyes, Tao Tianshi was very famous in Hun City, and his various deeds were very vivid and did not seem to be fake.
But he was always skeptical.
Master Tao Tianshi waved the fly whisk lightly and showed an inscrutable smile, "My dear friend, are you telling your fortune?"
Jiang Wang was speechless.
Just like Lao Xutou pestering him all day long to introduce his wife.
Ever since he sneaked out and got acquainted with Master Tao, the first thing he said every time he met was to tell his fortune.
But today, it was the first time that he came directly to the door.
Master Tao Tianshi said to himself: "Little friend, you have a very bad omen."
Jiang Wang: "..."
Tao Tianshi said solemnly: "My friend and I met for the first time half a year ago, and I saw a trace of evil in him, but he didn't want me to crack it. After a long time, I I had a premonition that the evil spirit in my little friend must have reached its peak, so I had to pay a visit. Please don't refuse me this time."
Seeing that Jiang Wang still didn't speak, Tao Tianshi took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said again: "If you have any doubts, I can help you decipher the bad omen first, and I will charge you after the incident is completed."
Jiang Wang frowned slightly and said, "What's the solution?"
Master Tao Tianshi smiled and said: "The evil aura in my little friend is quite special. In the past, I might not have noticed anything unusual, but in the past two days, the evil aura has condensed to its peak, and I will gradually realize that something is wrong. Not only will you lose money, but you will also lose your life."
The so-called speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Jiang Wang thought about the monster.
Not only did his expression change.
Tao Tianshi smiled slightly and said: "The method to crack it is actually very simple. The first thing I have to do is to marry a wife."
Jiang Wang: "..."
Tao Tianshi was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Wang. He coughed lightly and said, "I haven't received any money from any lady, so I deliberately used this method to find a matchmaker. This is indeed a way to solve the problem, and I want to marry him." A girl born in the yang year, yang month, yang day and yang hour.”
Jiang Wang still stared at Master Tao with suspicion, "Do you think I believe it?"
Master Tao Tianshi shook his head and said: "I have been honest in my actions throughout my life, and I have never made any lies. My dear friend, you have to believe me."
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, then gently raised his hand and waved, "Uncle Tong, see the guest off!"
The old housekeeper responded and walked out.
Smiling, he asked Tao Tianshi, who was still trying to persuade Jiang Wang, to leave.
Jiang Wang turned around and returned home.
The Xunyang Houfu is very large, but apart from Jiang Wang, there are only an old housekeeper, a little maid, and the painter Zhao Si.
In addition to the old housekeeper who lives in the front yard and Xiaoyu who takes care of Jiang Wang's daily life, Zhao Si also has his own courtyard.
At this moment, Zhao Si is painting in the yard.
When he saw Jiang Wang coming in from outside, he stroked his brush with his mouth, and then he started writing. As if with divine help, the entire Hun City appeared on the paper, lifelike.
"I feel that my painting skills have improved again. I traveled to every corner of Hun City for three years and sketched every detail with excellence. Now I am finally done. This is definitely a masterpiece that will be remembered forever!"
Jiang Wang thought about Master Tao Tianshi's words and said casually: "Can you sell it for three taels of silver?"
Zhao Si suddenly blushed and said, "Vulgar! Really vulgar!"
Jiang Wang continued: "No matter how good your painting is, if you can't sell it for a price, you will still starve to death. If I hadn't been kind enough to take you in back then, the grass on your grave would have been several feet high."
Zhao Si was very angry, but he had no way to refute.
He was indeed starving to death, otherwise he would not have been able to sell paintings on the street.
He didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky when he met Jiang Wang.
I still remember the decadent look on his face, but no one cared about such a good painting. Suddenly, an extremely good-looking young man appeared and asked him to paint a painting for him.
His mood was quite bad and he deliberately painted people ugly.
Unexpectedly, I was praised a lot.
He felt that the man was sick at that time.
Facts have proved that Jiang Wang is indeed sick, and Zhao Si feels that he is also sick.
He actually exchanged his life's talents for food in a daze.
To put it nicely, he is the royal painter of the dignified young Marquis of Xunyang Houfu. In the final analysis, he is just a domestic servant.
Jiang Wang was completely unaware of what had just happened, but suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Is Tao Tianshi's reputation true?"
Zhao Si did not look at Jiang Wang, but still replied: "A person with a false reputation will not last long, but Tao Tianshi's reputation has been resounding in Huncheng for more than 20 years."
"Five years ago, I witnessed Tao Tianshi's ability with my own eyes. The guardian who was about to die of illness searched for famous doctors to no avail, but was saved by Tao Tianshi with a random talisman. Even now, the guardian is still alive and kicking. .”
Jiang Wang was thoughtful.
No matter what Tao Tianshi said is true or false.
And is it related to the power he suddenly possessed?
He doesn't have many years to live, so why should he care?
If you can control that power, even embark on the path of spiritual practice, and your life span can be extended, it is not a bad thing.
Jiang Wang's originally touched mood recovered.
Suddenly I heard a vibration somewhere in Huncheng.
Followed by several figures, passing over Qixia Street.
It is rare to see monks in Hun City.
If it appears, there must be a reason.
Jiang Wang left directly, called Xiaoyu who was still practicing swinging his sword, and left the Hou Mansion.
Just in the adjacent dilapidated alley, stood three people with completely different temperaments.
They all carry a sword behind their backs and are wearing white robes, green robes and purple robes respectively. They are all in their forties.
"There is indeed some inexplicable energy left here, but it's really hard to see what it is."
The green-robed monk looked around and frowned.
The white-robed monk sighed and said: "We have never seen any immortal traces. We can only infer based on the records, but it is undeniable that the immortal's arrival must be in this Qixia Street."
The purple-robed monk suddenly asked: "What kind of scene does the immortal come to the world? Does the immortal come directly, or is he born from the mother's womb?"
The white-robed and green-robed monks looked at each other and shook their heads, "We don't know either."
Although there are many records about immortals, they are basically not very detailed.
Not to mention ordinary people or ordinary warriors, in fact, even monks like them only know that there is an immortal in the capital of God.
But no one knows what the immortal looks like or how he came to be.
Or maybe the immortal in the capital of gods doesn't exist at all.
