The moon is foggy, cold and quiet.
Under the peach tree, Old Doctor Huang's expression changed slightly. He stared at Xiang Ji again and again, feeling a sense of paradox in his heart.
Thunder belongs to internal energy?
Could it be that the rumors are true? But there should be no descendants of that lineage left at all.
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. There are many similar martial arts. How can one determine his identity just by a sound? If it is true and has such inheritance, how can he be an entry-level martial artist at this time? At least he must be a third-level Tianjin Bow Vein The level of Xian·Ji’s energy has been released.”
Then, he shook his head, showing a look of relief. He no longer thought about the ups and downs in the world, and just regarded it as a good seedling that he liked and cultivated with love.
After a while, the thunderous energy undulating from the wrist acupoints gradually dissipated. In Xiang Ji's mind, only the first move of the Purple Thunder Sword Technique was sketched back and forth. He imagined that he was holding a long sword in his hand and kept slashing, again and again. Once, I gradually had some feelings.
Spring thunder bursts, 殛 (jí), which means to kill. It was once said that the sound of spring thunder can startle swallows and snakes. This sword move is named after this, which is reflected in the sudden and sudden attack of the sword move like spring thunder. For Xiang Ji, the current method of slashing and killing is an improved version of 'Strike Huashan'. With a foundation in martial arts, it is not difficult to get started.
Dr. Huang once said that he was one of the best in a hundred. This was indeed true. After Po Xing was promoted, he became a 'talent' after all.
This is only the initial effect of warmth and nourishment. The longer the time, the stronger the destiny and the higher the qualifications. This is also one of the reasons why the cultivation of those who have received the help of divine weapons in history has always improved by leaps and bounds.
"It's a pity that my Qi Sect cultivation is not enough, and the calculation is too vague. If the rumor is true, it will be a help. The sky will strike with thunder and kill the real dragon." However, the old doctor Huang sighed imperceptibly. This Zhuo County It is really an extraordinary place. When I first arrived, I met two good young people. According to the calculation of heaven, some secrets were involved.
After Xiang Ji, who was meditating according to the Ziwu Qi-nourishing Method, finished practicing his sword moves, he actually visualized the life-changing diagram in his body, constantly comprehending and understanding the principles of 'Yishu'. In the space of his consciousness, the purple light spreading from the picture scroll enveloped his soul. It presents various strange phenomena, sometimes like mountains and ancient forests, sometimes like rivers and lakes, and sometimes like stars all over the sky, a sea of stars rising and falling.
There was no words all night. When the sun rose at Mao hour and the first ray of light fell, Xiang Ji woke up. He landed in the world from the ocean of countless numerology and hexagrams and exhaled a breath of turbidity.
Although he had not slept all night, his spirit was not exhausted, but was at an all-time high. His eyes were like hidden fire, giving people a warm and bright feeling.
"Brother Shanhe." Ade, who was beside him, had woken up for some time and was waiting under the peach tree. His whole person's momentum was completely different. He was full of energy and a little more calm.
There have always been some sayings that studying can nourish people, practicing martial arts can make people brave, and serving as an official can nourish one's energy.
"The little-known Lousang Village actually hides two of you seedlings. It's really rare. It's a pity that we missed the best age for practicing martial arts. If we had established a foundation for Zhenguo's martial arts early in the morning, our future achievements would be even higher. It's just that kind of thing You can't get it, you can't ask for it, you won't have it when you are born, you won't have it when you die, and you can't force it. These are the foundations of the monopoly of famous families.
If you want to enter the mountain, you can start now. Again, don't be greedy for success. These are two medical talismans carved with cinnabar. If you are injured, burn it and put it in water and drink it in your belly to heal. "
Just as the two were exchanging their thoughts, Dr. Huang's voice rang out and he handed over two yellowed talismans. On them were outlines of incomprehensible things like ghostly drawings. The stripes were incomprehensible at first, but the more they looked at them carefully, they became clearer. The more I feel dizzy and dizzy, it's really weird.
"Fu Shui? It's a bit like Wu Zhu's method." Ade said, "Similar methods were recorded in the book Zhigui Miaotan that I read before. A similar witchcraft rebellion broke out in the Han Dynasty in the past."
"Since ancient times, doctors and witches have not separated their families." Mr. Huang closed his eyes and leaned on the wicker chair under the peach tree. He ignored the two people and let them go.
After leaving the courtyard, there were actually two servants of the Wang family waiting for them. When they saw the two people traveling, they quickly pointed the way and said, "The master has ordered that the area around Hujian Peak and Langya Peak is the search scope. The county lieutenant will lead the arrests quickly." The Tiger and Wolf Platform on the mountain is being reorganized. If you have any clues, you can report there. Here are the maps and the two loaches that Master Shanhe needs."
Hujian Peak and Langya Peak are both dangerous and dangerous mountains in Zhuo County. They overlap each other from east to west. There is a rock at the bottom, which is called Hulang Terrace. The wind roars in the pines and the clouds fly over the streams.
It is said that tigers and leopards are dormant there, and evil wolves are in groups. Ordinary warriors dare not walk alone. Only Tianguan warriors can subdue those evil beasts.
"That's good. You don't need to put yourself in danger. You can report it if you find clues. You will be favored and safe." Xiang Ji accepted the map and the loach and thought secretly. The Wang family is obviously a well-endowed scholarly family, otherwise the old man would In the past, he could not reach the level of a warrior, and it was even more difficult for him to ascend to the position of township head. His relationship with Wang Qian, the county captain of Zhuoxian County, was also very unusual.
The county captain was a powerful person under the county magistrate. He was in charge of the public security of the government officials. His physical strength must not be low. He was probably a three-pass martial arts master with "strings of muscles and muscles and strong energy".
A De saw him separate the loaches into white porcelain buckets and put them in a backlit place. He poured water until two fingers of water were above the top of the loaches. He also went to the kitchen to pick up two broken eggshells and put them into the buckets respectively. He felt in his heart. Although I thought it was strange, I didn’t ask any more questions.
He knew that if he wanted to say it, Brother Shanhe would naturally say it. Since he didn't say it, there was no need to ask.
"Raise Qianlong, see the moon but not the sun, feed and recite sutras after sunset, backlight in the morning, leave two, and give one to Ade for comparison and confirmation. After all, I am the destiny of Yi Minggai, what difference will it make? I don’t know, it’s always good to be more prepared.”
Xiang Ji stared at the loach and thought of his own situation inexplicably. He couldn't help but shake his head. He each took his dry food and water bag, then turned around and left the village with Ade, heading straight to Hujian Peak.
"Ade and the Shanhe master left the village together. I wonder what they were going to do?"
"It is said that he went to assist the Zhuoxian County Yamen. With Master Shanhe's sword skills, there is nothing to worry about. He even used a wooden sword to rectify the Wenliu stick that was rampant in Sanxiang. This shows his strength."
"Yes, it's a blessing and a good thing to hear that the head of the village Wang hired him as the martial arts master in the village. In the past, only counties and towns had such ability to retain martial artists."
Along the way, the villagers in Lousang Village kept talking and looked at them in awe.
Martial arts is still quite far away for ordinary people. Having enough food and clothing is their reality and life. This has been the case since ancient times and will continue to be the case in the future.
After leaving Lousang Village, Xiang Ji did not rush to explore the way. Instead, he pushed Ade away first, returned to the place where he had buried the armor, took it out, and put it all under his clothes except for the helmet. As a layer of insurance, this trip cannot be done without caution.
After doing this, he just found Ade. The two of them headed west and crossed the river for ten miles. They saw lush vegetation, withered vines and wild flowers, two strange mountains that arched each other, and a high platform-like protrusion in the middle. There is a vague figure moving, that is where the Tiger Wolf Tower is.
"Hushan Langfeng, this is not a kind place. The county magistrate ran here so well. It's really confusing." Xiang Ji clicked his tongue in surprise. Could it be that a piece of Guangwu really fell here?
Ade touched the rough iron bar on his waist. It looked like a sword, but not much. It was given to him by the blacksmith in the village for self-defense. His basic martial arts skills were enough to protect himself.
The two of them explored the environment. They were surrounded by mountains. The sun had already risen over the top of the mountain. The river came from the west and flowed by them. The water in this section of the river was deep and fast, with dangerous shoals and numerous reefs. There are still some rivers. The wreckage of the ship remains.
"Brother Shanhe, something is wrong. Look at these marks on the tree. They are not left by officials, but marks of communication between bandits!" Suddenly, Ade whispered, pointing to an 'eye' carved on the tree. logo.
His family members were killed by bandits in the past, and they had witnessed many scenes, so they knew something about it, which came in handy at this moment.
Xiang Ji was shocked when he heard this: "The bandits are also getting involved? Could it be that they have some plot against Zhuo County?"
If only the county magistrate disappeared due to the Guangwu fragments, it wouldn't be too troublesome, but if there were rogue bandits and horse bandits among them, it would be worth pondering.
The lack of guarantees was still a premeditated plan, and things really got deeper and deeper, which was a headache.
"In this way, let's search nearby first, climb the hilltop, find some clues, and then go to Hulangtai to report to County Lieutenant Wang Qian. Only with the help of their troops can we solve the problem, and we don't need to sacrifice our lives. It’s dangerous.”
He pondered for a moment and decided to proceed with caution. He tore off a small corner of the blue shirt given by Mr. Wang and hung it on a treetop at the foot of the mountain as a mark, then groped up the mountain with Ade.
With Xiao Liuren pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, Xiang Ji is still somewhat sure that he will not run into trouble. However, if someone involved has good horoscopes and affects the calculation, he can only adapt to circumstances.
"Everything will be fine. At midnight on the 9th of the first month, the heavenly palace, the earthly palace, and the human palaces will all be in harmony. It will be a good or bad way for me to go up the mountain."
He pinches Xiao Liuren with his hand, and Da'an rises. The heavenly palace takes one to enter Da'an, the earth palace takes nine to enter Suxi, and the human palace Zi Chou Yinmao Chensi takes six to enter Liulian. The hexagrams obtained are Da'an, Suxi, and Liulian.
Da'an represents tranquility, immobility, auspiciousness, yang, and wood; Suxi represents movement, speed, auspiciousness, yang, and fire; Liulian represents slowness, repetition, delay, yin, and earth.
"Yang Yang Yin, this is the hexagram Dui. When Dui Shang is lacking, wood generates fire but meets earth. This means that the journey up the mountain must be fast to avoid disasters, but in the end you will inevitably encounter delays and repeated troubles. This trip will be easy first. Then it’s difficult.”
After receiving the prompt, Xiang Ji quickly went up the mountain and flew to the top of the small peak with Ade.
After a stick of incense, through a thin layer of mountain fog, a piece of warm and dazzling golden sunshine fell down. The two of them had reached the top. The tip of the small peak looked like a platform, but it was a little slanted. There were still three men sitting around. The group was chatting there, and in the midst of their conversation, they were either jeopardizing roads or wasting lives.
"They are bandits!" Ade recognized them at a glance. The three men were dressed in scattered clothes, carried weapons, and had a green scarf on their heads. At first glance, they were in the business of robbing homes and houses.
Xiang Ji glanced at several other small peaks and considered that most of them were guarded. If there was a big movement, it would definitely attract attention. If the three of them were gone, they would be alerted. It was better to wait for the opportunity and be cautious.
"Okay, I've been here all morning. I only drink wine and don't eat meat. I can't hold it in anymore. Go and solve it. You two should pay attention and don't interrupt the flag signal to check every moment."
After a while, an opportunity appeared. One of the men walked out cursing, wanting to go for a convenience, but the other two men sneered, "Why are you in such a hurry? The boss is not clairvoyant. How can you see that there is one less person here? As long as the flag is The signal keeps coming, just go ahead and hunt two more wild game on the way back, so we can satisfy our cravings!"
The convenient man nodded, it was true, and simply went around into the forest to look for some chickens, rabbits and birds to satisfy his craving.
"One flag at a time, this is an opportunity. We can capture this person and send him to Hulangtai as evidence, and let the county captain lead his troops to come and investigate. But the journey is not short, and there will definitely be suspicions..." Xiang Ji thought Thinking, wondering whether to take action.
However, Ade said, "Since there is a flag at a moment, the Shanhe brothers have made small movements to deal with the three people one after another and then pulled off their clothes. I will find some grass and trees nearby to fill them into human figures. You take the three people to Hulangtai to find the county captain." , I hid here to deceive others and waved the flag to maintain the signal. After all, the mountains are far apart and they can’t see clearly what’s going on here, so there is still some room for planning.”
After hearing this, Xiang Ji felt that it was feasible. According to the hexagrams, if it was delayed and repeated at this time, it would be a big disaster, so he should make a decision immediately.
Ta, da, and the man had already entered the forest, untied his belt, and was about to open the gate to release the water.
Uh-huh!
The next moment a strong wind blew up, and a figure suddenly jumped out of the grass. At the moment when he was at his most relaxed, he was naturally unable to dodge, and without even reacting, Xiang Ji punched him in the back of the head with great force. In a daze, he fell down, and a stream of water poured down his face. It was true that the rich water did not flow to outsiders.
"Pour the yellow soup into your mouth. This is the most sobering thing." Ade shook his head and started to take off his clothes, leaving only a naked man lying in the forest.
"You are full of jingles, you want to promote filial piety and honesty." Xiang Ji teased, and then he took advantage of the situation and touched Xiaofeng. He was confident that he could capture the remaining two people quickly without causing any trouble. If they were to kill people, he would naturally take no effort. , it will be over in a few breaths, but this is to capture witnesses alive without alerting other peaks. It will be more troublesome to leave the living people behind to torture the information.
On the peak, the two men didn't know that someone had already found their way over, so they continued to brag and talk about themselves. Even the surrounding Lu Academy, Shanshui Sect, and Five Tiger Sect were mentioned as topics of conversation.
Snapped! Suddenly, a stone flew out and hit the two of them behind, causing their eyes to turn away. In just a moment, a figure fell from the sky, and its arms shook left and right like a roc spreading its wings. Before the man could react, Xiang Ji pressed his hands on their necks, and pinched them hard. Their faces turned red on the spot, their breathing became rapid, and their mouths were opened wide, but they couldn't even say a word.
Following a bang, he directly grabbed the two men's heads and hit them three times. The two gangsters fainted just after they were covered in bruises and bruises. Ade, who was rushed over, stripped off his clothes one by one and saw his naked body.
"I'll leave the rest to you. If I haven't returned with the two sticks of incense, you don't have to worry about alarming others. Just run away. Your own life is the most important thing."
Xiang Ji stared at Ad and watched as he stuffed his clothes with grass and trees, made three scarecrows and came out, then he picked up the bandits on his left and right, and set off with one on his back.
Along the way, he continued to move with thunderous power, and his speed soared, several times as fast as when he went up the mountain. It was a pity that he didn't have light skills and footwork, otherwise he could have been a few minutes faster.
"Perhaps, I should also look for some martial arts. Joining a sect or academies seems to be a good choice." Xiang Ji's heart moved secretly, and his pace quickened a bit.
On the way, the three of them woke up and tried to struggle, but they were pinched by his ribs and kicked with a barb kick, and they fainted again.
After burning the incense, the Tiger and Wolf Terrace came into view, with government servants holding knives lined up among them, and there were actually horses being raised around.
"The county government station, stop anyone coming!"
At this moment, a voice sounded, and immediately an arrow fell down and struck not far from Xiang Ji. This was a warning and a warning.
If he really acted, it would probably be a volley that would cover the mountains. The strength of the army must not be underestimated. The dynasty itself was the most powerful family and sect, concentrating power and wealth.
Following the sound, a man with red robes and tied hair stood in the crowd and looked from a distance. He seemed to be the leader, County Lieutenant Wang Qian.
