Dongsheng City.
Liu Kui led a group of escorts from the escort agency to complete the delivery with the employer's guys. The escort trip was finally completed smoothly without any danger.
In order to express his gratitude, the employer also specially gave some extra silver coins as a reward for the Fuwei Escort Agency for saving more than a dozen lives.
Liu Kui also secretly rejoiced. If Lin Wanqing hadn't taken Qu Wuming in on the road, the ending would have been different. It just so happened that Dongsheng City was also a big city. I was so happy that I proposed to give everyone a three-day holiday in place so that everyone could have a good rest and relax.
Nowadays, Qu Wuming's trauma has almost healed. He couldn't resist Lin Wanqing's warm invitation, so he left the inn with her to go out for a walk. Not long after, he came to a street called "Wanjiahui".
Wanjiahui is the largest commercial street in Dongsheng City - the entire street is about two miles long from east to west, with densely packed shops on both sides, ranging from restaurants and restaurants to theaters and brothels, from cloth and grain shops to jewelry and auction houses. , almost all-encompassing and all-encompassing. In addition to these fixed storefronts, there is also a small square called "Minsheng Square" which is purely used for small vendors to set up stalls. It is very lively with people coming and going.
Lin Wanqing was walking in the market, holding a bunch of candied haws in one hand and a small bamboo basket on her wrist, which contained a pair of rabbit-like dolls. She looked at the surrounding vendors with bright eyes, as excited as a pig. Like a nine-year-old girl, behind her, Qu Wuming was carrying seven or eight bulging bags in both hands, and two were carried on his back, all of which were things Lin Wanqing bought along the way...
"Brother Qu, come and see this! This candy man is so beautifully made!" Lin Wanqing came to a candy blower stall and watched a ball of golden caramel deforming in the hands of the stall owner. He turned into a cute little pig, and quickly turned around to greet Qu Wuming to take a look.
"Buy it if you like it." This is what Qu Wuming said the most along the way.
"Okay! Dad, how much does this cost?"
"Two texts."
"Here!" Lin Wanqing paid the money, happily took the piggy, turned around and ran away without a name, but unexpectedly bumped into a skinny little man.
The little man didn't expect that Lin Wanqing looked weak, but was as stable as a wall. The collision hurt his shoulder, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. After he stood up, he lowered his head and said "Sorry!" and turned around to face the crowd. Get into it.
"Weird..." Lin Wanqing accidentally bumped into someone. She was about to apologize, but she saw the person said sorry and ran away. She was stunned and didn't think about it anymore. She walked towards Qu Wuming, "Brother Qu, you look!"
Unexpectedly, Qu Wuming had a strange look on his face, pursed his lips towards her waist and said, "Your jade pendant."
"My jade..." Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing hurriedly lowered her head and touched her waist. Before she could say the word "pei", she found that the jade pendant around her waist was gone. She looked at Qu Wuming with a surprised look on her face.
"Over there!" Qu Wuming didn't say much and pouted in the direction where the skinny man escaped.
"You dare to steal my things!" Lin Wanqing snorted coldly, and chased after everyone. Seeing this, Qu Wuming smiled helplessly, shook his head, and followed after carrying large and small bags.
By the time Qu Wuming caught up with Lin Wanqing and came to a somewhat secluded alley, Lin Wanqing had already knocked the skinny man to the ground and took back what belonged to him.
"Brother Qu, do you want to send him to the government?" Lin Wanqing said angrily.
"These people are all habitual offenders, and the things they stole cannot be said to be priceless." Qu Wuming shook his head and said, "Send them to the Yamen and lock them up for a few days at most. Just give them a lesson."
"Hmph!" Lin Wanqing kicked the skinny man in the stomach and kicked him deep into the alley, "Next time I meet you, I won't let you go!"
The skinny man was kicked so hard that he almost vomited out all the food he had last night. He knew he was in a tough situation, so he dared to resist. Seeing that the other party really didn't pursue him anymore, he hurriedly ran away, holding his stomach.
The appearance of the skinny man affected Lin Wanqing's good mood: "Brother Qu, you think these people, with sound limbs and good health, why don't they find a decent job, but they insist on stealing?"
Qu Wuming said: "Those who steal for a living are nothing more than greed and laziness. They want to have endless money, but are too lazy to work hard to make money. If they obviously steal other people's things but can't, then they have no choice but to steal."
Lin Wanqing was amused by Qu Wuming's explanation, and her displeasure was reduced a lot: "That shouldn't be the case. What if they stole someone else's little life-saving money, wouldn't it be a crime to commit financial harm? Dead?"
"The kind of thing you mentioned does happen from time to time, especially those who steal near hospitals and drug stores. They are even more unscrupulous." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "But there are many people in this world who make people feel guilty. Unfortunately, there is not always a chance to recover the money and bring these thieves to justice."
When Lin Wanqing heard this, a melancholy look flashed in her eyes, and she sighed and said: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I really hope that I can travel around the world and make all the bandits and thieves I encounter correct their evil ways, and prevent innocent people from doing so again." Get hurt by them.”
Qu Wuming smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid your wish is a bit naive, and it will never come true."
Lin Wanqing lowered her head and said solemnly: "Yes, I know."
Qu Wuming did not notice the flash of sadness on Lin Wanqing's face, and continued: "With your ability, you will be able to go to many places in the future. However, if you ask all thieves who are used to getting something for nothing to change their ways, I'm afraid It’s far easier than letting them reincarnate and start over again.”
"Well, I'm overthinking it."
A forced smile appeared on Lin Wanqing's face, but she sighed to herself: "You may not be able to do it even if you travel around the world, why should you think about the future..."
The incident of the little thief in the market was quickly forgotten by the two of them. It was almost noon. Qu Wuming carried large and small bags of things and accompanied Lin Wanqing to a restaurant that looked quite good. .
"Brother Qu, this place must be very expensive, right?" Lin Wanqing looked at the gold-plated plaque at the door of the restaurant and couldn't help but stop and asked in a low voice.
"This Wenlan Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Dongsheng City, and the food tastes the most authentic. Now that we are here, we naturally want to eat the best in the area, right?" Qu Wuming explained as he walked forward.
The waiter who had been waiting for him for a long time naturally heard what Qu Wuming said, and the smile on his face looked much happier. He quickly took over the conversation and said, "This guest officer is really on point! Our Wenlan Restaurant has the best chef within a hundred miles, and our roast mutton is one of the best in Dongsheng City! You two, please come in!"
The waiter led Qu Wuming and Qu Wuming to a dining table by the window on the second floor and poured them tea diligently. Qu Wuming ordered six or seven dishes without hesitation, such as roasted leg of lamb, roasted lamb chops, mashed potatoes with shallots, many of which were the most distinctive local delicacies.
After the waiter happily left with the menu, Lin Wanqing asked: "Brother Qu, how much can we eat just for the two of us?"
"If you can't eat it, take it away and take it back to the inn to heat it up. I'll give Uncle Liu a try tonight." Qu Wuming said with a smile, "The food here tastes very good, but the price is also very good. Under normal circumstances, I guess they are Wouldn’t eat here.”
"That's true. If Brother Qu hadn't said that he would invite me to eat here," Lin Wanqing looked at the menu and nodded. "After I read the menu, I would have found a way to escape no matter how embarrassed I was."
"Haha, you are my savior. Let alone eating this, even if I treat you to something precious, it's nothing." Qu Wuming said with a smile.
While the two were talking, there were footsteps on the stairs next to them, but two people wearing light blue robes walked upstairs under the leadership of the waiter.
"You two, please come this way!" The waiter took two steps and led the two of them to another table behind Lin Wanqing.
Qu Wuming's eyes swept over the two of them, and he caught a glimpse of the pattern embroidered on the corners of their Taoist robes - a black sword that was about an inch long.
"People from the Iron Sword Sect?" Qu Wuming felt a little strange, "The Iron Sword Sect is thousands of miles away from here, but these two have traveled far enough."
The two people from the Iron Sword Sect were only at the peak of their Qi refining stage. They naturally became much more cautious in this crowded restaurant, especially when the conversation involved some important information, they all switched to sound transmission. Communicate so as not to be overheard by those next to you.
However, just as they were completely unaware that a senior in the god transformation stage was sitting at the next table, they were equally unaware that their secret transmission had been heard long ago.
""The Divine Sword Art of Sympathy between Heaven and Man"?"
Although Qu Wuming's magic power is now imprisoned, the power of his spiritual consciousness is still enough to crush these two people. The things they communicated through voice transmission have been transmitted word by word into Qu Wuming's spiritual consciousness. When he heard this name in the sound transmission between the two, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
It's not because I have never heard of this sword technique, but because this sword technique is really famous.
To be precise, it was once very famous.
"The Divine Sword Art of Sympathy between Heaven and Man" was created by an unknown person more than 2,000 years ago. It is said that the person who created this sword technique was originally a Taoist in the Void Refining Stage. After being injured by an enemy, his cultivation was completely ruined and he became an ordinary person who could no longer practice. However, this person did not know what adventure he had. After painstaking study and based on his thousands of years of spiritual understanding, he created the "Sword Art of Sympathy between Heaven and Man".
Legend has it that this sword formula is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is internal strength and mental skills, and the lower part is sword skills.
Its inner strength and mental method is the "Shen-Human Interaction Technique", which emphasizes using the sword as a guide, using the sword to enter the Tao, and finally reaching the supreme state of Tian-Human interaction. Although this skill is divided into nine levels, it is far from the ninth-level level of ordinary warriors. It is said that if one practices the "Sky-Human Interaction Skill" to the fifth level, his internal strength level can already surpass the ordinary ninth-level Tianshu level. A warrior has reached the level of a grandmaster! If one reaches the ninth level of cultivation, even those in the middle stage of cultivating the void will be able to fight.
The sword technique in the lower part is the "Sword Art of the Divine Sword". There are thirteen moves in total, and each sword technique has thirteen changes. It is said that after the sword is used in conjunction with the "Sympathy Technique between Heaven and Man", the moves are extremely powerful, and the sword is extremely powerful. The momentum is endless. It seems simple and unpretentious, but it is extremely powerful. It can kill enemies with sword energy from a hundred feet away. It can be said that the most powerful sword can avoid gods, ghosts, immortals and Buddhas!
However, Qu Wuming has always been dubious about this rumor...
