A flock of white birds flew across the clear sky. The shadows of the bird feathers slid across their cheeks, feeling a little cold, and then slipped away with the wind. The air was filled with the smell of moisture and grass. Lin Sui'an took a contented breath and took a big bite of the biscuit.
Hu cake is a food similar to a bag. It is round and large. It is a bit dry when you first bite it. After chewing a few mouthfuls, the fragrance of ghee and sesame exudes a unique fragrance catalyzed by saliva. It is the best delicious food to satisfy your hunger.
The most important thing is that biscuits are easy to carry and do not spoil easily, making them a must-have dry food for long journeys.
Lin Sui'an embarked on a journey with Mu's caravan, and his destination was Yangdu, the headquarters of Mu's caravan.
The Tang State in this parallel world had five capitals, Andu, Dongdu, Guangdu, Yidu and Yangdu. In the Tang State's history of more than 300 years, each capital occupied an extraordinary historical position.
As the capital of the political and cultural center, Andu was the center of power in the Tang Dynasty for more than 230 years. It was not until Emperor Xuanzhao ascended the throne 70 years ago that he moved the capital to Dongzhou and took a back seat. Since then, Dongdu has been leading the political trend of the Tang Dynasty. In contrast, although the political status of Guangdu, Yidu and Yangdu is not as high as that of the first two capitals, they all have high economic status, which is called "Yangyiyi and Guangdu are not convinced".
Yangdu and Guangdu both focus on international trade. They are well-known international port metropolises with crisscrossed waterways, developed economy, prosperous trade and large population. Yidu is more famous for its handicraft manufacturing industry and is a transit point on the Silk Road.
Mu Zhong came to Nanpu County this time, firstly to discuss cooperation with Luo's caravan to open up new trade routes, and secondly to review the financial status of the shops in Chengdong City, Nanpu County. Therefore, he only took four people with him when he went out. At that time, I took two loads of goods along the way, so it was a light and easy journey. Nanpu County is only more than 200 miles away from Yangdu. According to the speed of Mu's caravan, it can be reached within ten days.
On the fifth day of the trip, Lin Sui'an had already adapted to the life of the journey. While on the road, he rode a horse to see the scenery and basked in the sun. During his breaks, he drank spring water, ate biscuits, and occasionally had roast mutton. He listened to the caravan guys chatting about the mountains. The little life was wonderful.
"If you ask me, in terms of the best wines in the world, the first one is Dongdu's "Manbi". The color of the wine is as clear as amber. The second one is our Yangdu Twenty-Six Brews. The entrance is rich but not complex, mellow and mellow. Not greasy, endless aftertaste -" Old Liu held up the water bag and drank while smashing his mouth, as if he was drinking not spring water, but nectar and jade liquid.
Although Lao Liu has the word "老" in his name, he is actually only thirty-six years old. He is the oldest in the caravan besides Mu Zhong. Among the other three guys, Alon is twenty-four years old and Xiao Ma is twenty-one years old. , Val is half-Human, has a tall nose and deep eyes, and is only nineteen years old.
Old Liu was addicted to alcohol, but unfortunately the caravan stipulated a ban on alcohol during the entire trip, so he could only live with his addiction.
"Why is it called twenty-six brews?" Lin Sui'an asked, "Did it use twenty-six brewing methods?"
"Ms. Lin, have you ever heard of 'Twenty-six Bridges on a moonlit night, where can a beautiful lady teach you how to play the flute'?" Val asked.
Lin Sui'an: "...Isn't it the Twenty-Four Bridge..." She shut up.
Mu Zhong burst out laughing, and everyone looked at Lin Sui'an with regretful expressions.
"Miss Lin must have been deceived by that half-assed master!" Aaron was filled with indignation, "What kind of nonsense did I teach you?"
Xiao Ma: "That's right, this is simply misleading!"
Lao Liu: "This is too much. Shu Xiu should be sent back!"
Lin Sui'an wiped his sweat silently.
This is the bad thing about making assumptions. You will always make some common sense mistakes, especially parallel world making up is more pitiful. Some common sense overlaps, some common sense is completely different, and some common sense is generally the same, but the details are slightly different. For example, the poem just now was of course familiar to her world, but it happened to be not twenty-four bridges but twenty-six bridges. Lin Sui'an could only put the blame on an "unfounded" enlightenment master, and seriously played the role of a poor child who was cheated by a half-hearted teacher.
"Yangdu is criss-crossed by waterways, and there are twenty-six bridges in the city," Waldao said. "As the saying goes: Jiuqu Wu Workshop, Ximapan Grandma, Zhoujia's small market, Guangjicui, Kaiming Caijia, leading to peace, benefit in the south, and sky in the north. , Shen Zuo runs through the west and east, three in the north, three in the south, three in the nine, six in the four lanes and seven in the Yangdu."
Lin Sui'an: "That's it!"
Val wore yellow-brown bangs and stared at dark green eyes: "Everyone in Yangdu will carry this, otherwise they will be regarded as outsiders and will be looked down upon."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
This is so convincing coming from your mouth.
"Get ready and get ready to go," Mu Zhong patted the hem of his clothes, took two steps towards the truck, and suddenly looked back at a few people. Lao Liu, Val and others immediately rushed to the truck, holding horizontal knives and looking around angrily. Alon also waved at Lin Sui'an, "Ms. Lin, hide quickly!"
"Hey - I built this mountain, I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road!" A loud shout pulled out a long list of bandits, about ten people, with fierce looks, masks on their faces, and different clothes. There are no special features. The mask is quite uniform. They are all carved from tree bark, leaving only two black holes for the eyes. From a distance, they look like two broad beans, which is a bit funny.
The Mu family's caravan has certainly seen big events and is not afraid of danger. Mu Zhong pointed to the small flag placed on the front of the car. It was red with black characters and yellow edges, and the huge Chinese character "Mu" was embedded inside.
The leading bandit: "Mu's caravan?"
Mu Zhong shook out a few coins and threw them over, "Use this money to buy wine for the brothers."
The bandit took the money, flipped it around, and whistled.
Lin Sui'an had seen this scene three times along the way, and each time it was the same process - bandits appeared, Mu Zhong gave money, bandits retreated - so skillfully that it seemed as if they had been rehearsed hundreds of times. Lin Sui'an had reason to doubt , the bandits along the way have long learned the secret of making money while lying down. For example, the Mu family caravan was taken advantage of. As long as they took the brothers to pose for a few poses, they would get money without beating or killing them.
So Lin Sui'an took his time and packed up the half-eaten bag before going to lead the horse. But at this moment, there was a rustling sound in the forest. Not only did the bandit not withdraw the money, but he also attracted more people, almost twenty of them, wearing funny masks, pressing down on the grass slowly. He leaned closer, and the light of the sword illuminated Lin Sui'an's eyes.
It seems that the name of Mu's Caravan is not easy to use this time. Lin Sui An said.
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Ms. Lin, it's time to pay the toll."
The "travel fee" is to be the bodyguard of Mu's caravan, which is also the condition for Mu Zhong's agreement to take Lin Sui'an on the road.
Lin Sui'an nodded: "Stay back."
Mu Zhong retreated to the truck, and Lao Liu and others looked surprised.
Lin Sui'an grabbed the hilt of Qianjing's knife and walked towards the bandits. The bandits laughed one after another under their masks. More than half of the bandits ignored Lin Sui'an and rushed towards Mu Zhong's convoy with their knives.
Lin Sui'an moved.
The tips of their toes brushed against the tips of the grass, and the strong wind blew past their ears. The dark green blade of Qianjing's blade turned into transparent emerald green in the sunlight, just like a thin leaf, getting into the gap between their hands and the handle of the knife.
【Xunfengchen Autumn Leaves】
This is a sentence Lin Sui'an saw in the Shijing Collection a few days ago. When I read it, I didn't feel anything special. I just felt that it seemed to be some kind of formula. But at this moment, this sentence was like a light, illuminating The sword skills sleeping in the body drive the body to kill the enemy in front of him quickly, cleanly and beautifully.
Her body is stretched and flexible, and Qianjing seems to have become her wings, containing infinite power. She flies along the wind-like, invisible route through the grass and tree shadows, flying lightly, flying in the dazzling blood. Light.
Countless broken pictures were shaking in front of her eyes. The bandits' frightened expressions, bloodshot eyes, reflective blades, and splashing blood gradually formed a picture. She took the knife and accurately cut off their hand tendons. The wound was very small. , only half an inch long, with very little blood, only a small stream, but the scream was loud, sharply irritating Lin Sui'an's eardrums, Lin Sui'an's heartbeat became faster, like a war drum beating, blood flowing through his veins A shiver of joy came over me.
The last bandit fell to the ground. Lin Sui'an stood there, quietly watching the rolling and howling bandits under his feet. His heart was beating wildly, his arms were shaking with excitement, and Qian Jing stimulated the bloodthirsty pleasure in his body. , she still wants to continue...continue to chop...
She suddenly raised Qian Jing, and the cold light of the blade penetrated the bandit's eyes.
"Hero, spare your life!" The bandit's scream made Qian Jing buzz. Lin Sui'an's palms went numb, and her arm suddenly stopped in mid-air. The sun fell on her face, dispelling the cold murderous intention.
Lin Sui'an wiped away the blood splattered at the corner of his eyes, sheathed the knife, "Get out of here."
The bandits fled, leaving a mess on the ground.
The caravan was all dumbfounded. Val and Aron dropped the knives in their hands, Xiao Ma and Lao Liu's jaws dropped. Looking at Lin Sui'an, her expression seemed like a twenty-six bridge moonlit night was born on her face. Mu Zhong was not surprised and gave Lin Sui'an a thumbs up and said, "It's worth it."
Along the way, it seemed that all the bandits had become good, and not even a single shadow of the bandits was seen. Mu Zhong was quite emotional, saying that if he had known this, he should have asked Lin Sui'an to take action earlier, and save a lot of money. A sum of money for traveling. Lin Sui'an obviously felt that her status had been significantly improved. If before, everyone just regarded her as a little girl who ate and drank, now she is an auspicious beast guarding the caravan.
A'long contributed all the snacks in his private collection, Xiao Ma wished he could hold an umbrella and fan her every time during the season, Lao Liu came to get close to her whenever he had something to do, and even Lin Sui'an got rid of the "cheating" wife that she made up before. " hat, in one fell swoop he became "a worldly master who does not eat the fireworks of the world." Val also suddenly thought of becoming Lin Sui'an's disciple, but Lin Sui'an refused in panic.
I don’t know what kind of evil Kung Fu she is doing, but it’s better not to mislead others.
Yes, evil.
This is Lin Sui'an's definition of "Qian Jing" and "Ten Jing Ji".
*
It was already past midnight when we arrived at the inn. It was rare to have a good sleep under the roof. After arranging the duty time, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep early. Lin Sui'an finally got a private room and immediately studied the Shijing Collection after returning to his room.
Untie the rope and carefully unfold the shaft. The palm-sized pages of the book are spread out in front of you, like the scales of a carp. This is the dragon scale book mounting method commonly used in this era. It gives you a sense of wealth and magnificence when you read it.
It's a pity that the content inside is not very gorgeous. As you can tell from the name, the Shi Jing Collection is actually Qian Jing's matching knife manual. When Lin Sui'an flipped through it for the first time, he thought he would see some lofty lesson plan, but it turned out to be something he never expected -
Lin Sui'an looked at the "illustrated" sword manual on the page and sighed deeply.
There are only five pages of the sword manual that record the content, and the rest are blank pages. Each page has a unified format. The words on the right represent the formula, and the picture on the left represents the sword technique. The formula on the first page is "Cut the throat and bleed ten feet, the King of Hell will "Soul-calling flag" was a sentence that came to her mind when she was fighting against the big bamboo pole. The picture next to it was... it was - a fire! firewood! people!
Can you believe it? !
A sword manual that is extremely mysterious, profound, and awesome is actually not even on the level of a comic book, only a stick figure!
A standing stick figure with a line across his neck, and then... nothing more.
That’s what the accompanying pictures are all about.
To be honest, when Lin Sui'an opened the first page with great anticipation, he almost had a heart attack.
She even suspected that it was a fake of Su Chengxian's painting, but later she saw the painting skills of Su Chengxian's relics... This funny painting style was obviously not the cutting-edge fashion that he could understand.
On the second page, the mantra "Being cut off is like the beginning of life" is accompanied by a picture of a stick figure lying on the ground with four horizontal lines on his hands and feet.
On the third page, the formula "A knife cuts the soup", picture: a stick figure lying on the ground, with a horizontal stroke on the waist.
On the fourth page, the mantra "Xun Feng Chen Autumn Leaves" is accompanied by a picture: a big stick figure and a group of small stick figures. The big stick figure is holding a long match in his hand, with radial lines drawn around the match. Lin Sui'an pinches his forehead. What does this mean, the Statue of Liberty?
It seems that it can only be interpreted based on the physical reaction in actual combat. For example, in today's battle, there were one enemy and many. Lin Sui'an recalled the attack route. The zigzag line penetrated the crowd. Basically, one person cut off the hand tendon with one knife. There was no Any extra movement or movement, this move should be a quick group attack.
"Cut the throat and bleed ten feet" is easy to understand. It is the move of cutting the neck. The move of cutting off the tendons and hamstrings used in Orchid Restaurant is about "Dai Zhan Ruo Sheng Chu", and the move of caesarean section is "Knife Fu Duan Tang" , combined, these three moves should be the preparatory moves of "Xunfengchen Qiuye", that is to say, only after you have learned the first three moves can you use the fourth move.
Lin Sui'an felt that he had some clues and turned to the fifth page.
Dumbfounded.
Page 5, formula: break the determination, picture: a stick figure with a circle of radial lines drawn around the body.
What is this? !
A glowing fairy? Super Saiyan? One Piece? Ultraman Tiga?
"As expected, the Ten Pure Collections are in your hands!" A man hung upside down from the window and floated into the house like a huge black bat.
Lin Sui'an was overjoyed: "Hey, you're here with the big bamboo pole. Have you eaten it?"
