The night in Longyuan City is brightly lit.
It was almost midnight, but the buildings and pavilions in the city were still filled with singing and dancing.
The long street is full of merchants and department stores, the music of the piano is playing in the pavilions, and the dancing is graceful. I don’t know how many literati and elegant people are playing and singing here every night, which fully shows the prosperity of the city.
Tie Tang and Wang Andao walked through the city gate and sat down in a random restaurant. They ordered a pot of shochu and a few kilograms of soy sauce beef and started talking.
"Compared to here, our Yuncheng still has great potential." Tie Tang sighed slightly.
Although Yuncheng has also imposed a curfew, once midnight is over, there are no traces of people on the streets. Except for Yanliuhua Lane, all shops will be closed.
"There is a big gap between cities, just like between people."
The two chatted for a while, then heard the conversations of the drinkers around them, and couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully.
"The feast is about to begin, and our Longyuan City is going to be in chaos again."
To Tie Tang's surprise, the local residents didn't seem to like the banquet.
"With all kinds of monsters and monsters coming to the banquet, there will inevitably be disputes, and we will be the unlucky ones again."
"Who says it's not the case? How many shops were destroyed last time we held this bullshit feast?
A relative of mine opened a rouge and gouache shop, and 90% of the inventory in the shop was stolen by those people.
When I sued the government, I was only compensated a hundred taels of silver, which was less than a fraction of the loss. What a scam. "
"Brother Yang, what you said is a bit biased."
"Last time can only be said to be an accident. Normally, it would be of great benefit to us in Longyuan City."
"Oh, this unexpected thing... I'm afraid it will come!
Even if it happens just once, it can kill you.
Moreover.
This situation has happened many times before, who can guarantee that it won't happen this time? "
Tie Tang became excited after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't the police and the Supervisory Yuan here not paying attention?"
As soon as these words came out, it was a bit awkward.
Although there is no explicit prohibition on discussing the power of the government in the street, there are not many people who really dare to discuss it freely because they are afraid of causing some trouble.
Tie Tang himself is the chief arrester. Being in the system, he subconsciously ignores the feelings of ordinary people.
However, after a moment of silence, someone still responded.
"The government of Longyuan City can be said to be doing their best, but there is a saying that the law does not blame everyone!
The fight was so chaotic that the victim couldn't even find out who the real culprit was, and it would be troublesome to prosecute.
In the end, the government could only find the top few and asked them to share everyone's losses, but in the end they were far behind. "
At this time, someone interrupted again: "If you don't talk about these, if you don't talk about these, you will be wrong if you talk too much. Let's talk about tomorrow's feast.
Do you know... what treasures will appear tomorrow? "
"I heard that someone took out the Nine Aperture Wuji Pill!"
"Have not heard."
"Sounds like a good thing."
.......
Some people present have already entered the martial arts, while others are still ordinary people and do not know how precious this elixir is.
Wang Andao, who had been drinking silently, suddenly turned his head and looked over.
Tie Tang asked softly: "Do you know him?"
"I've heard some rumors, but I've never seen it."
"Is it very precious?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on who uses it.
I only know that this elixir is used in the blood exchange realm to penetrate the acupoints. I really don’t know what its specific effect is.
However, penetrating acupoints is related to your own skills, and even your physical body has many limitations.
No matter how powerful the elixir is...
At most, it can help you break through to your current limit, but it cannot break the shackles and break through the limit.
If you have the idea of relying on elixirs to increase your cultivation...then save it. "
Tie Tang smiled and did not explain. He was just curious.
At this time, the topic next to him changed again, attracting their attention again.
"Not to mention those immortal treasures of elixirs, I heard that there is also a picture book of exercises appearing this time."
"Could it be the five-phase diagram of the wild cow?"
"Oh? Brother Chen also knows. I thought I was the only one who knew."
"It has been spread for a long time. There is no need to practice this technique. I don't think there are many people who want it."
"That's not necessarily true. No one practiced it in the past. That's because the technique was incomplete. Now that the fifth phase of swallowing the sun and the moon has appeared, some people may want to try it."
"But the problem is that I haven't heard of the name of this technique. Brother Yang, have you heard of it? Xiao Li? Lao Zhang?"
When that man looked at him, everyone shook their heads. Indeed, no one had heard of the power of this technique.
At this time, a group of people slowly walked down from the second floor of the restaurant.
The leader was wearing a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a piece of Wenlong Jasper around his waist. He seemed to have heard the discussion of the people downstairs and couldn't help but refute.
"The Five-Phase Diagram of the Wild Ox is extraordinary. This technique has another mystery. It is an extremely rare double-refining method."
"Master Fang!"
"Master Fang!"
........
The drinkers in the hall stood up and saluted one after another, obviously they knew the person coming.
One of them, a man with strong muscles and strong qi and blood, couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Mr. Fang, what is the method of double refining?"
"Practice it once in the forward direction and again in the opposite direction. You can practice it both forward and backward. It is a double practice."
The young man in white robe seemed to have a good temper. He patiently explained to everyone and paid for the drinks of all the diners before leaving.
Including Tietang’s table!
"This man has the air of a noble man."
Wang Andao teased: "What? Treating you to a meal of wine, you are the son of an aristocratic family? I treated you so many times in the past, but you never praised me."
"Haha, you and I, why do you need to worry so much?"
Tie Tang waved his hand and continued: "I just feel that he has less airs than Pang Feiwen. This kind of person is either very deep and has two faces.
Either.
It is true that they are born like this, approachable, or they have strict upbringing and strict rules. "
"Yes, compared to him, Pang Feiwen is not even good enough to carry shoes. This Mr. Fang...it's hard to say, hard to say."
"Could it be that you know this person, Lao Wang?"
"I've heard some."
"How come you know everything?"
"How else could I stay with you?"
"Then do you know the double refining method he just mentioned?"
"Never heard of that!"
"..."
The two chatted for a while and ate some casually.
Stay until late at night.
Then he found an inn and stayed in, preparing to wait for the Qujiang feast tomorrow.
It's about the third or fourth watch.
Tie Tang suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. Qi and blood were surging all over his body, and his hair stood on end.
"who?"
He just felt something moving in the room, and even though he was sleeping, he suddenly woke up.
There is no one around, and the doors and windows are secure.
From time to time, there were sounds of drunken people vomiting and making noises on the street outside.
"There is clearly someone there, could it be that I feel wrong?"
Tie Tang stood up, unscrewed the fire note, and tried to light the lamp.
But at this time.
His pupils shrank, and the fire fold in his hand almost fell to the ground.
In the dark night, in the direction near the window, there was a desk with a pen holder on it, but there was no pen or paper.
The gradually sparse moonlight shines in through a layer of window paper.
Tie Tang saw a catalog that was as thin as cicada wings and made of animal skin.
"When I came in, there was no such thing on the table!"
This kind of short-term memory will never be wrong, Tie Tang is sure.
He got out of bed, his body tensed, his limbs hidden with strength, and he walked towards the desk.
Just one glance.
Tie Tang recognized this object.
"The fifth phase - swallowing the sun and the moon?"
He has seen the first four phases of the Mang Niu Five Phase Diagram and is very familiar with this technique. How could he not recognize the fifth phase diagram that has the same root and origin?
"Why is this picture here with me?" Tie Tang was shocked.
Tsk.
Tie Tang first lit the lights in the room, then took off the door latch, stepped forward and carefully picked up the sun-moon figure.
"There's no lime, there's no poisonous powder. Someone shouldn't be trying to harm me."
Rao is so.
He went to the next door first, shook Wang Andao who was snoring loudly, woke him up, and forced him to his room.
Wang Andao, who was sleepy-eyed and still unconscious, stood staggering in front of the desk as if he had not recovered from his three souls and seven souls.
"Tietou, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise you won't be able to sleep again."
Tie Tang pointed to the animal skin on the table: "Did you give this to me?"
"What the hell? I didn't give you anything." Wang Andao denied it without even looking at it.
"Didn't you give it to me? Could someone want to frame me?"
"What is it?" Wang Andao became curious and his eyes widened.
"Swallow the sun and the moon!"
"What?" As if a wandering spirit had returned, Wang Andao suddenly woke up.
He shook his head violently, stepped forward and looked at it carefully. He even took the candle and looked at the sun and moon phases to get a closer look.
"There are no fingerprints left, so he is very careful."
Tie Tang paced back and forth in the room: "Who do you think... it could be? What is the purpose?"
"All I know is...you'd better write down these patterns and the route of doing the exercises first."
"Already here!" Tie Tang stretched out his right hand and pointed at his head.
Wang Andao gave a thumbs up, and then said slowly: "Don't care who it is, and don't care what the purpose is. Just go to the county government office, reveal your identity, and hand it over."
"But the problem is...
Who would know that I came to Longyuan City?
Who would have known that I needed the Five Phases Chart of the Wild Ox?
How did he know where we live?
Could it be that someone has been following me from beginning to end? "
