A sword struck the giant, and three points of red clouds fell.
Li Xunhua's body was still warm, but everyone's hearts were cold. It was unclear whether it was joy or fear.
Break the hexagram and get a ray of secret!
At this time, the familiar feeling appeared again. Xiang Ji felt the mysterious feeling of grasping the secret of heaven, and even his Yi Dao cultivation also improved. This was like being tempered.
[Black Secret·Killing Harm: Follow the way of a knight and help those who can be helped; good and evil will be rewarded, and the way of heaven reincarnates.
Good deeds are rewarded. After this battle, your body has improved, and your blood potential has been tapped. You have contributed to this place. You will act like a "Ranger" and be respected by people. The government will have a favorable impression of you, and you will become a legend among the people from all over the country. part. 】
Fortunately, it was a wooden sword, and the ring sword was not exposed... Xiang Ji thought that the hexagrams seemed to be affected by human factors, just like he would not have been exposed if he did not use the ring sword, so the hexagrams were only called "possible". But not using your best sword means danger. The danger of not fully displaying your strength means that everything has two sides, and one chooses another path.
Now he has the strength of an ox and a horse, which is beyond the strength of an ordinary martial artist.
"Young hero has great skills, but I don't know where he learned from it? I just got out of the siege thanks to my little friend. Please come into the hall and let me entertain you." Mr. Wang came back to his senses, his eyes were eager, and under the influence of the secret, he just felt He was a good man. He stepped forward and bowed his hands to thank Xiang Ji for his help. He then turned sideways and pointed toward the inside of the house, inviting him to come in for a chat.
The surrounding villagers also looked at him with a touch of respect, as if they had seen the rumored rangers who fought for justice and violence, and their resistance to strangers gradually diminished.
Xiang Ji nodded towards Ade, threw it casually, and buried the wooden knife three points into the ground. Then he turned around and followed the mayor into the house and said, "Hunters in the mountains have no inheritance. They are just ordinary knife skills for killing animals."
The head of the township, Mr. Wang, smiled and thought he was being humble. Although he was using basic sword skills, the 'inner energy' running inside was obviously unusual. People who had no inheritance would not be able to figure it out, and he felt even more respectful. Three points, I think he is a well-established figure and I don’t dare to be disrespectful.
Soon, several servants appeared in the yard, either carrying buckets of water to clean up the blood stains, or dragging willow sticks to find the ground to bury the body. The cooks in the kitchen were also busy, chopping vegetables and cooking pots to serve for the two of them. banquet.
In a short time, fruits, vegetables, rice wine, noodles and roasted chicken were all placed on the long table in the hall. All the dishes were presented, with fragrant aromas, which was very different for wealthy people.
"Young hero, you don't have to be polite. I was also a martial arts practitioner in the past. I know that the most important thing in martial arts is eating, especially to replenish blood after taking action. Eating a cow is not an exaggeration. Haha!" Mr. Wang raised his wine glass and invited Xiang Ji to join him. A De drank together and talked about the basics and common sense of martial arts. Because Xiang Ji was a foreigner, it was almost impossible to talk about village affairs, so he had to talk about martial arts to see if he could understand something.
After all, people who practice martial arts cannot train hard day and night. They often need to eat. When a large amount of blood enters the body, they need to rely on meditation and standing postures to speed up the dissolution and absorption, and at the same time recover from mental losses; practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can reveal the meaning of etiquette. , understand the Liuhe, and with practice, you can also have sharp ears and eyes, upright spirit, wherever your thoughts go, your body will be in harmony with the world, and it will complement each other with martial arts.
Therefore, some great Confucian scholars were highly skilled in martial arts, and capable ministers were knowledgeable in both civil and military affairs. They could talk about astronomy and geography, draw scrolls of the Spring and Autumn Period with their pens, and suppress an army on horseback. They were all 'elites' cultivated by aristocratic families.
When the conversation got exciting, Mr. Wang even clapped his hands and summoned his servants. Soon a servant brought a willow plate covered with red cloth and opened it in front of Xiang Ji. It turned out to be a mouthful of fine iron repeatedly forged. Snow-white long knife.
"Young hero's kindness will be deeply appreciated by everyone in my palace. This is a gift of thanks. In the past, when I was traveling in the world, my friend gave me a 'hundred-refined weapon'. Walking in the snow to look for plum blossoms. As the saying goes, a sword matches a hero, so please give me a gift, young hero." Don't be disdainful. If you need it in the future, I, the Wang family, will do our best to help.
Although Lousang Village is not big, it is still a good place to rest and recuperate. With the young knight's martial arts attainments, if he can pass on his skills and solve doubts, he will be able to settle down in any village. "
The old man was sitting at the top, with a smile on his face and an elegant temperament. Now that the disaster has been eliminated, he has also regained some of the demeanor of a scholarly family. His words are like a spring breeze.
A hundred-refined weapon, is this the reward of the Wang family in the hexagram?
Xiang Ji felt happy in his heart. He was a good swordsman. Seeing the good sword in front of him, his eyes naturally lit up and he couldn't help but look at it. The sword was three feet long and half a finger wide. The snow-white sword was also mixed with forged clouds. The pattern and Hanmei ink marks are even better than the gap made by his standard ring knife.
The dark clouds are treading on the snow, the cold plum blossoms are fragrant, a good knife, a really good knife.
Martial arts is extensive and profound, and weapons are ever-changing. Good weapons can significantly improve strength, just like armor. There are also clear divisions in the secular world about weapons, namely:
The five qualities are rough iron embryo, hundred-refined sharp weapon, psychic treasure weapon, famous weapon in ancient history, and divine weapon descended from heaven.
In historical legends, the divine weapons seem to be divided into earthly divine weapons and heavenly divine weapons. However, it is too old and has some connection with the emperor's artifact "Red Sky Sword", so few people know the secret. Even the name of one party. There are very few weapons, and the "Hundred Arms Manual" in the Han Dynasty only records a hundred famous historical weapons.
Such a sharp weapon is rarely seen in ordinary villages, and it is rare even in towns. There are only a few that can be obtained by novice warriors. From this, it seems that the friends that Mr. Wang made when he was young are obviously extraordinary, and his own family is also very wealthy. , giving such a gift, most likely in the hope that he can stay temporarily and become a 'martial arts master' in the village. Such a character usually only appears in the town. Where can a mountain village keep him?
And since Xiang Ji revealed his strength as a warrior, everyone in the village has been in awe of him and no longer regard him as a foreigner. This is an identity change brought about by strength, and even the township chief must pay attention to it.
There are two different situations: someone giving guidance and having no guidance. Even in towns and cities, large families have dedicated martial arts disciples. After the heirs and bones of each house have grown up, there will be dedicated people responsible for guiding the way and teaching the disciples. , carry out enlightenment and relieve confusion.
"The mayor is really generous, and I'm not a meandering person. I'll just accept it if I thank you. However, I happen to have something to ask for, and I hope the mayor can help me.
Earlier, my ancestors took refuge in the mountains and hunted for a living. Later, the elders in the family settled down in the mountains and forests. Although they had a lot of books and could read and read scriptures, they did not communicate with the outside world. Therefore, my household registration was always difficult and I could not enter or leave the city or town. ···”
Xiang Ji took the opportunity to accept it, and also revealed the important purpose of his coming here, a formal household registration and a new identity.
Without these, ordinary towns and cities would be unable to pass through, and the first people to be arrested would be this kind of 'refugees', and it would be common for them to use them to claim credit as the heads of bandits.
After Wujiang defeated Xiang Yu in the past, Han Emperor Gaozu unified the world and took a series of measures to stabilize social order. The most important one was to restore and rectify the household registration system, design and supervise the national household registration, and formulate the policy of "regulating households to equalize the people" Household registration system. In the Han Dynasty, the dependent people were still registered households under the control of the state; guests were free to register and were still registered households by the state; but slaves were not registered in the household registration, and were registered in the property book as the owner's income.
After hearing this, Mr. Wang paused, thought for a few breaths and then smiled: "Haha, young hero has done me a great favor. This is not difficult. I just need to trouble young hero to temporarily become my disciple. I need to cover up my identity as a refugee." He is said to be a "child" saved from the Ziliu bandits. He has been adopted by me since he was a child. Tomorrow I will write a letter and send it to the Yamen in Zhuo County with some silver coins, so that the document can be clearly stated. Brother Wang Qian, the county captain, has some friendship with me. , when the time comes, young hero Chushanhe will also be the registered household of my Lousang Village.
However, the county magistrate is missing, which is also a trouble. If you have some free time, you might as well help the police to find it. If you can do it, not only will your household registration be smooth, but you will also have some reputation in the government, which will make it easier to do things in the future. After all, you can be filial and honest. This way out can be taken seriously, and the government and county offices can still talk about it. "
Xiang Ji knows that the court is still stable now, and household registration work is being carried out across the country. Local governments at all levels also have specialized personnel in charge of household registration. Under the county magistrate, there are also county officials such as military chiefs, county captains, county chiefs, and chief registrars. Only in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when wars were frequent, population mobility intensified, and powerful landlords competed with the state for population, household registrations became scattered and changed at will.
Now we need to report something, and it will be much smoother with Mr. Wang covering up and taking care of it.
From being a retainer to having an official household registration, it only takes half a month to complete it. In the future, he will be able to travel around the world as 'Chu Shanhe', but he cannot easily expose the Purple Thunder Sword Technique, and knowing his appearance The soldier is dead, just be careful.
You must know that at this historical juncture, basically every wealthy family has hundreds or thousands of slaves and disciples secretly, competing with the royal family for human resources, which also resulted in the lack of soldiers and financial resources to quell the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty; some of these hidden people They are unwilling to pay taxes and perform corvee service to the country. Some people are farmers whose land has been annexed, and some people are afraid of war and have taken refuge with wealthy families. When the real trouble comes, these wealthy families will turn the hidden large population into Private armed forces have long been planned to participate in separatist rule and competition in the Central Plains.
"What Mr. Wang said is that early tomorrow morning, I will also go into the mountain to search to see if I can see any traces left by the county magistrate. If any children in the village have doubts about martial arts, they can just come to Huanglao Hospital to look for me. By the way, the mayor is very knowledgeable, could you help me pick some loaches with better quality?"
Xiang Ji thanked him with his hand, and once again thought of his method of "raising a latent dragon" to change his life, he simply mentioned it together to avoid procrastination.
"Loach? Could it be that the young hero wants to eat the famous dish of 'green dragon entering the sea'?" Mr. Wang was surprised. Because dragon is equal to the emperor, he replaced it with the word "flood", which reminded him of the loach and tofu.
Xiang Ji glanced at Ade behind him and said with a sudden smile, "No, if you want to live, two are enough."
"Okay, early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to Dr. Huang's house, and the young man can collect it himself." Mr. Wang didn't say much. Since he didn't say much, he shouldn't ask more. After living for so many years, Some things are already familiar to me.
After another round of greetings, Xiang Ji stood up to say goodbye as the sun set. He wanted to go to Dr. Huang to repay his kindness. After all, it was he who had directed him to come to the township chief's residence to resolve these matters.
Before leaving, Mr. Wang gave him another ten taels of silver as a reward for wooing him, which made Xiang Ji sigh. Sure enough, with force, he could get things done wherever he went. He tossed it casually, and a tael of silver went into Ad. In the arms, the village also needs some acquaintances, and those who are pleasing to the eye are destined to meet each other. When he was fighting with Li Xunhua, Ade once said wise words. It can be seen that he has a high level of understanding. He will definitely be able to take off in the future. This is a gift in the snow. It's always good to have a good relationship.
"Hey, I have never seen so much money in my life in the village. It is enough to buy food and medicine baths for two, three, four, five, six months." Ade touched the silver and wiped it carefully. I decided to go home and give my mother new clothes, buy some food and cloth, the thatched house should be thickened, and the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy and vinegar should be replenished...
After walking through the streets and turning two corners, the familiar peach tree appeared in front of my eyes. Dr. Huang happened to be standing quietly in front of the door. When he saw them coming back, he saw the sharp weapon and the long knife, and he knew that the mayor's affairs were over. Solved, opened the door and motioned for them to come in.
"I've been helped by Mr. Huang to take care of me these days. Please don't refuse the small profit." Xiang Ji stepped forward, took out a silver coin and put it on the long table as a reward.
Such an amount can buy two stones of rice in Zhuoxian County, which is three hundred and seventy-eight kilograms. It is enough for ordinary people to eat for three months. This is a solemn thank you.
Even the old doctor Huang couldn't help but glance at Xiang Ji, a little surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to the silver. He just motioned for them to sit down and suddenly said, "It is said that the county magistrate disappeared, and the imperial mausoleum changed drastically, and the Guangwu fragments Related to birth.
Since you have helped Mr. Wang, according to his friendship with the county magistrate, he will definitely ask you to help the county magistrate. After all, he disappeared in the nearby Hulang Mountains. However, it is dangerous and needs to be controlled by yourself. There is no It’s better not to go too deep into a martial artist’s skills. "
"How can a barefoot doctor who travels around the world know so many secrets?
It seems that this old Mr. Huang is not simple. He came here suddenly some time ago and said it was because of the Guangwu fragments. I have to be careful not to expose him. "
Xiang Ji immediately became vigilant and became more reserved in his speech, pretending to be like "I heard about it for the first time, but I don't understand it."
Ade really didn't know anymore. After listening carefully to Old Doctor Huang's story, he realized that this Guangwu fragment was probably related to the 'artifact' on top of the famous historical artifact!
It is said that in the past, Emperor Guangwu had twenty-eight capable generals, known as the "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai". They followed Emperor Guangwu in battles for many years, and their weapons were contaminated with the spirit of the real dragon, thus becoming second only to all the emperors in the past. The half-step divine weapon of the divine weapon, surpassing the "historical famous weapon", is "Guangwu". Emperor Guangwu was buried in the original mausoleum after his death. The royal family listened to Taoist advice and accepted the battle-worn weapons of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. The statues formed a formation to guard the country and guard the mausoleum. The weapons of the twenty-eight generals were loyal and vindictive.
Until a few days ago, Taoist Yu Ji, the descendants of Tianyao and the descendants of Tianmo joined forces and used the remaining thunder power of the former overlord Wujiang to split the Han Tomb and break the dragon's energy into three parts and fly out. Yuntai Twenty-eight turned the weapons into light weapons and scattered them. This is why the situation is like today.
Ade nodded repeatedly when he heard this, with longing in his heart, but Xiang Ji couldn't help being frightened. He could know this kind of thing in such detail. Huang Laoyi was by no means a simple person. He might even have come to Zhuoxian to look for Guangwu fragments. The presence.
You know, Liu Bei is the owner of one-third of the dragon energy and a piece of light weapon. Unfortunately, even he has not found their whereabouts now.
"Chu Shanhe, I see that you have developed the strength of an ox and a horse, and your membranes are strong. It won't be long before you step into the first level and achieve the 'leather armor coat'. Your strength is better than that of ordinary martial arts masters, and you are confident." You want to get involved in this matter, but I also remind you that the missing county magistrate is standing on the top of the mountain at the fifth level. You should think carefully about what can help him.
However, you have a temperament that appeals to me, a close eye, and a bone that can be said to be one in a hundred. Today I will teach you a posture of sitting in meditation. Practice it well. If you are successful, you can also start by my side. "Old doctor Huang stared at Xiang Ji's feet, as if he was sensing the movement of thunderous energy. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, wondering if he had 'discovered' something or what he was thinking about.
And the first day he mentioned was to practice leather, also known as a martial artist. The skin of the whole body is strong, and the physical strength is greatly increased. With one exertion, human skin is as tough as cowhide, and the whole body has the strength of an ox, "single finger" He can fire a hundred-jin bow and shoot several times, and can kill five warrior-level armed soldiers with his bare hands under siege.
And when this level is cultivated, the corresponding "human body characteristics" will also be produced. The skin coat, that is, the cuticle membrane will grow on the inside and outside of the skin, just like a thin iron armor. The three-inch membrane is extremely tough and can block swords and flying needles.
The second level of blood refining is to train the big muscles of the whole body to be strong and plump, with quick reactions, to be able to fire a two hundred kilogram bow with one finger, and to be able to kill ten fully armed first level soldiers with bare hands. Physical and mental, impurities in flesh and blood are removed, the whole body is extremely sensitive, the response is more flexible, and the limbs can even expand and become larger.
When this level is complete, it is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but the blood is like fire. It can also be concentrated in one place and turn into the corresponding characteristic "giant spirit moving blood", that is, the corresponding limb suddenly becomes larger and bright red, which makes other parts All the blood is channeled, and the whole body's strength is mobilized to strike. After practicing to the highest depths, the whole person can turn into a nine-foot giant spirit.
The third level of 'Tylons, Bows, Pulses, Strings and Energy Exposed' can make the muscles and veins in the whole body stretch and contract strongly. Every corner of the body can burst out with the strength and energy of the bow strings. All the fingers and toes can shoot a 400-pound bow in succession. , can kill twenty-five second-level soldiers with their bare hands; the fourth level's 'Golden Muscles, Jade Bones·External Skills' has a bronze head and an iron arm, and its physical strength is better than that of a sweaty horse that travels thousands of miles a day. He can fire an eight hundred kilogram bow with one finger and shoot continuously. He can kill fifty "fully armed" soldiers from the third level with his bare hands. He can beat bears and tigers into flesh with one punch and smash stone lions with his palms. The fifth one is even better. Guan 'the five internal organs connect the gods and the energy transforms into form' means 'the external power is completed', and county magistrates all over the country are at this level.
It can be said that each level of the martial arts path has obvious characteristics and miracles, just like the human body is constantly evolving, heading in a new direction. Perhaps it is the 'prototype of the sequence' created by the First Emperor, as the world has guessed.
"I think this is the 'fate' of Dr. Huang in the hexagram. The secret is really mysterious."
Xiang Ji was amazed. According to what Old Doctor Huang said, the county magistrate was a great external martial artist who could "connect the five internal organs with the spirit and transform the energy into form". Such a place where such a being disappeared was obviously not that simple. Even if they were real If you want to explore, you should only try it briefly, and you must not rush ahead because of greed for success.
"Meditation? This is a technique for cultivating internal strength, which can only be taught in Zhuoxian martial arts schools. I heard that children from wealthy families start to stand and meditate after they are five years old. Unfortunately, I have never seen it before at this age.
People in the village often say that people who are reincarnated have their destiny, but we common people like them have been different from them since we were born. "Ade was surprised. This skill is quite impressive.
However, Dr. Huang did not drive him away, and seemed to want to allow him to watch?
"There is no such thing as fairness in the world, otherwise no one would be an emperor, and some would be beggars. The only thing that can be called equality is that they all only have one life, that's all.
Ade, there are very few people who fall in love with you at first sight, and there are countless people who give up at first sight. Many seemingly impossible things in this world are created by ambitious people. Commoners can be crowned princes, prime ministers, and even ascend the throne; people with nothing can become wealthy businessmen. There is no shortage of such things. You can use this as a precedent to encourage yourself. "
Xiang Ji patted Ade on the shoulder and spoke words of encouragement. The child had a strong energy in his heart and would not be forgotten by everyone in the future.
"That makes sense." Doctor Huang nodded for the first time, agreeing with this statement, and his impression of Xiang Ji grew a bit. For a young man to have such insight, he can be called a 'wisdom root'.
Then, this mysterious old master began to teach me how to meditate. Before practicing, you must first practice your nature and get rid of all distracting thoughts. Then sit cross-legged, with your left leg facing outward and your right leg facing inward, holding the yin for the yang. ;Pinch the middle finger with the big finger of the left hand, and put the big finger of the right hand into the left hand to perform the Kneading Technique. The right hand is outside, holding the yin and yang. This is called the "Ziwu Qi Nourishing Method". The so-called hands and feet are linked together, and the four doors are closed tightly to keep the center. also.
Following the instructions, the thunder energy in Xiang Ji's body also began to circulate. In the time it took to burn the incense, he started to swim from his feet to all parts of his body. When he came to his head, his five senses suddenly changed, and the whole world became much clearer. The colors are richer, and many subtle situations that are usually ignored can be felt in his heart one by one. Even the subtle changes in the wind sound that are usually ignored cannot be missed by his sensitive hearing.
The strangest thing is that as time goes by, no matter the sky and the earth, a stone or a grass, they all seem to be living connected to him, and I have become a part of them. No longer are they unrelated, the longer I meditate This feeling becomes stronger.
After a moment, he raised his head slightly and looked at the starry sky through the broken skylight. The stars were twinkling that night and the stars were brilliant. He had an inexplicable feeling, but it was hazy. He only felt that the starlight tonight was brighter than ever before. He is approachable and has a unique attraction to him.
In the haze, he thought of the 'Purple Thunder Sword Technique' that he had read carefully the day before yesterday. Controlling his internal energy, he couldn't help but take advantage of the situation and start walking around. He lingered on the acupuncture points on both arms and "imagined" rehearsed the first stance of the sword technique. ·Spring thunderstorm.
This kind of fantasy practice method does not have a sword in hand, so the sword moves will naturally not be exposed, but the energy will wander around. At most, in the eyes of experts, the inner energy will be detected, which is considered safe.
The first move of the Seven Strikes of Purple Thunder can be said to be ingenious and ingenious. A simple strike of Purple Thunder Jin is a modified version of the force of splitting Huashan. It is practical but not flashy. It consumes less energy and is enough to deal with ordinary opponents. .
Crack!
The thunder force vibrated slightly on his wrist, causing a slight sound. It was so small that even the insects were not disturbed, and the warriors would not pay attention to it. However, Old Doctor Huang keenly captured the muffled thunder-like movement, and his eyes paused. With all his energy shining, he immediately stared at Xiang Ji.
"Um?!"
