"But you said, let's go to Beiyun Tower."
An Xuelun and Chang Siguo walked out of the classics library hall side by side, reached out and grabbed a long gun leaning on the shelf beside the eave wall, and said to the two old men basking in the sun: "When spring comes next year, I will be the host and invite you two Uncle, go to Xiongbeicheng to drink wine?"
"Go away, you are a mouthful, how long have you ever fulfilled your promise? Go away!"
The old man who was missing his arm half-opened his cloudy eyes and waved his hands like a fly, pushing away the laughing An Xuelun.
"Next time if you don't bring wine, don't let him in."
Another old man, without opening his eyes, mumbled something, turned over and fell asleep with his butt facing the door.
After leaving the courtyard, An Xuelun handed the spear in his hand to Chang Siguo and said, "I went back to look for the magic sword you left in the underwater cave, but it was turned away by Beirong cultivators."
He has always been very critical of Chang Siguo's prodigal behavior and feels sad about it.
Chang Si took the trophy spear that belonged to him and said with a smile: "Brother is interested." He added: "Beiyun Restaurant does not provide drinks for the time being. There is no feast without wine. I will find a friend to lend him a jar. Today I will Brother, let’s have a good drink.”
"Oh, can you still borrow drinks at this time of year? Come on, let's go, there's almost a bird in my mouth."
The two returned to the small courtyard. Yi Shangyan was preparing to eat at home after his shift. Chang Siguo forced him to go to the restaurant to accompany him. Of course, he was borrowed a jar of more than ten kilograms of good wine. The three of them exchanged glasses, drank and ate. It took more than an hour before they dispersed.
In the next few days, Chang Siguo read in the classics library, went to the school field to practice archery, or invited friends to have dinner at Beiyun Restaurant, living a fulfilling and happy life.
Chang Siguo read through all the books and volumes on the shelves on the first floor of the library. Chang Siguo learned a lesson about the basics of body training and the common sense of the world, and he was no longer at a loss.
Many small skills of true energy can be mastered by trying them out a few times, such as cutting off pulses, stopping bleeding, sustaining energy, etc.
It's just that the records of Qi practitioners are still unclear in the classics, and they are only half-understood.
After communicating with Yi Shangyan, Song Mu, and An Xuelun, Chang Siguo did not find out where in the Four Kingdoms there is a place called Qingyuan Mountain, so he was careful not to ask about Qingyuan Temple. Chang Siguo guessed and used the old way to He has unpredictable abilities, maybe he needs to find information from the people on the mountain?
On this day, Chang Siguo finally set foot on the second floor of the classics library.
Passing his bronze waistband through the window, he checked it for a moment, and the wooden door opened with a click.
Behind the half-person-high counter, an old man in black clothes sat. He nodded slightly to Chang Siguo, who bowed his hands in salute, and signaled Chang Siguo to read a book by himself or choose a technique.
The second floor is clean and tidy, with no musty smell. In the open room, there are only six sets of bookshelves in the middle.
There are desks and chairs against the wall, where you can sit and read, and there are two waiters serving tea.
The exercises in the book are all proven and error-free body-tempering methods, as well as authentic secrets on fists, kicks, swords and spear skills that are suitable for body-training practitioners.
Chang Siguo walked forward and picked up a green leather-covered, hand-written and thread-bound book from the bottom of the first bookshelf on the left. He flipped through it. As expected, as Yi Shangyan introduced, the book only copied some of the exercises. Only selected Only when you make a reservation can you get the full volume.
According to the selection method taught by Yi Shangyan and Song Mu, Chang Siguo tried to follow the tempering method in front of the exercise to stir up the true energy and experience the basic exercises. He noticed that the true energy in the body was slightly conflicted and the qi and blood tended to be disordered. I often think about giving up decisively.
He practices Fuhu Jin, and he can only use techniques that do not conflict with Fuhu Jin.
After reading the book for a day and invoking the true energy dozens of times, I often thought that it was like fighting someone for thousands of rounds. I was exhausted and exhausted. I returned to my residence and meditated for most of the night before I recovered.
I spent three days trying all the Kung Fu books on the second floor.
Chang Siguo chose the "Void Flame Tempering Body Chapter" as his main method for future body training, instead of following General Fang's suggestion and choosing exercises such as fist exercises that were in the same line as Fuhujin, because Not suitable for him.
Among all the body tempering technique secrets, the Xuyan Body Tempering Chapter will not cause a conflict of true energy in his body.
After choosing the free technique, he spent one sapphire coin to buy a residual copy of the "Splitting Sky Line Slash" sword skill secret book from the old man. The so-called residual copy had only one chopping skill left. The first part is the method of operating and exerting force, but the latter content has been lost.
Chang Siguo has read through other complete sword skills and boxing skills, and there is no special feeling.
Only when he tried to move his true energy and used his palms to simulate the "Splitting the Sky Line Slash" sword technique and exerted force, he could vaguely affect the three light words "Near Foot Spectrum" in his mind, causing some illusory light and shadow changes like water ripples.
Although it was weak, it made him so happy that he made a decisive decision and spent a high price to buy the incomplete sword technique.
So what if there was only one move left, he had gained great benefits from the three steps of dust removal that touched the Light Character Society.
I hope he's lucky enough this time to be able to add another powerful attack.
Then he went to the service building and spent some jade coins to buy two bottles of Yuan-Zeng Dan.
In order to temper the body and practice sword skills, when the body is exhausted, the elixir can be used to quickly replenish the true energy in the body.
He is the only one who dares to spend like this because of his wealth. Other cultivators spend most of their time on tempering their bodies by spending time meditating and recovering, but they can't bear to waste the elixirs.
After that, Chang Siguo returned to his residence and worked hard to temper his body day and night, practicing diligently to master the perfect sword skills.
Occasionally, I go to the school field with Yi Shangyan to practice archery and ask for tips on arrow attachment and other techniques.
He or she would ask Song Mu for advice on body skills, or go to Beiyun Restaurant to drink and have fun, living a happy life.
Suddenly, more than ten days passed. Chang Siguo received the message and rushed to the east city gate. He saw Mu Shuangquan, whose broken arm had healed, his beard was clean shaven, and he was somewhat fat.
Mu Shuangquan and two retired soldiers will accompany the Sihuang City logistics convoy to the nearest Xiongbei City in the south.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for a few passers-by to completely get out of the chaotic area between Sihuang City and Xiongbei City.
Pulling the energetic Mu Shuangquan aside and walking further away, Chang Siguo took out the bag containing the remaining 20,000 silver notes from his arms, stuffed it into Old Mu, and whispered a few words in a low voice. , asking for too much money is almost useless.
He goes to restaurants every day and doesn't eat much. He will leave here in a year at most.
"Hei Wa... is this too... too much?"
Mu Shuangquan had never seen so many banknotes in his life. His hand holding the knife was unsteady all year round, and he was trembling when he spoke.
"How much? What you gave in exchange for your life, you can just keep it and spend it slowly, marry a few wives and concubines, and live a peaceful life."
"...Hey, Hei Wa, I have to give you half of the share. How can you spend all the money in a small country place?"
"What do I use your money for? You have to help the family members of the war dead, and it will cost a lot in the future. Just be careful not to be targeted by thieves and gangsters. I believe you are stable and will not show off your wealth everywhere."
"How dare I show off when I'm awake? Qian San'er and the others will stay with me even if they are single and will not be separated."
"That's good. You three brothers take care of each other."
The two talked for a while, and Chang Siguo said goodbye to Mu Shuangquan, who had thanked him a thousand times and his eyes were red again.
There is no need for him to warn him more. Lao Mu is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others. He is an old pawn who crawled out from among the dead. He is bold, cautious and ruthless. He will not suffer the consequences of returning to the countryside to live in seclusion.
Chang Siguo took a half-day off, but seeing that it was still early, he simply went to Beiyun Restaurant, bought a jar of the newly arrived Liuxiang wine, and walked to the west gate of Po Bandit Army.
When the gate general saw that he was an unfamiliar body refiner, he carefully asked him to show his waist badge. After verifying it, he put Chang Siguo in.
