I’ve only read four books, but it’s already pretty good.
In this era, knowledge is extremely valuable. Let alone women, it is difficult for even men to be literate and read.
If it weren't for Qiu Tong and five other maids by Lu Wu's side, he wouldn't even have the chance to read, let alone study.
"Where did you see these books?" Qiutong asked.
"My family owns a pawn shop. Some people whose families are in poverty will pawn books. My father also teaches me how to read and settle accounts." Ye Ying said sadly.
Those who can trade books for money have all been wealthy. Since the rise of the Black Snake Society, many families in Chengnan Town have been ruined, and the Ye family is just one of them.
"Then let me ask you, what is fifty-five times forty?"
"Two thousand two hundred." Ye Ying replied without thinking.
Qiutong asked again: "The pheasant and rabbit are in the same cage. There are thirty-five heads on top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. How big is the pheasant and rabbit?"
This is a classic question about chicken and rabbit in the same cage. It is recorded in "Sun Zi Suan Jing" and was used by Qiu Tong to test.
"Twenty-three pheasants, twelve rabbits." Ye Ying has never read "Sun Zi Suan Jing", but she is smart, so this question is not difficult for her.
Qiu Tong nodded to Lu Wu. If he could solve this problem, he could be said to be good at arithmetic. At least he should be able to keep accounts.
As for more advanced mathematics questions, Qiutong himself doesn't know how to do it, so naturally he can't use it to test others.
The night was dark and there was no other light source except the bright moon and stars in the sky.
The six of them rode horses in the night, with Ye Ying sitting in the car in the middle.
Although there was moonlight, she could only see a dozen steps away. Further away, she could only see some hazy black shadows, like demons with teeth and claws.
Ye Ying was a little scared and shrank into the car, but the car was full of belongings taken from the Wang family, and she couldn't shrink in.
It's strange to say that she was already hopeless after taking revenge, but when she was brought to the young master by Yulan, she was told, "Kill her if it's no use", but Ye Ying didn't want to die.
But who are these people?
A gangster?
Why are they all women?
If these people's voices hadn't betrayed their inner feelings and they were wearing such long black robes, Ye Ying would never have thought that such ferocious and murderous strongmen were actually a group of women.
No wonder the 'young master' said he wanted to silence him.
These women were so tall that they must be very conspicuous. If someone found out that a group of women committed murder, they could easily trace them out.
Ye Ying was thinking wildly for a while, but suddenly found that the six strong men walking on both sides of the carriage, who were originally three on the left and three on the right, suddenly accelerated a bit at the same time, surpassing the carriage she was riding in, and lined up in front of the carriage, one in the front, two in the middle, and one in the back. Triangular formation of three.
Luwu led the horse, Qiutong Hongmei followed, Jinju Qingzhu and Magnolia came last, and the six horses marched in line.
The next moment, the air suddenly turned cold, as if autumn had suddenly entered the harsh winter.
There was a "boom" sound, as if something was being torn apart and shattered.
The air temperature returned to normal.
Ye Ying felt cold all over while sitting in the car, and then returned to normal. She was baffled, but she didn't dare to speak.
The carriage drove for another half-quarter of an hour. Ye Ying took advantage of the moonlight and saw a team of more than thirty people, shivering on the roadside. Everyone bent down and lowered their heads, not even daring to raise their heads.
————————————————
Lu Zuo hid on the left side of the road, cursing secretly in his heart.
Just walking at night, you can actually meet such a strong military strategist.
Lu Zuo was anxious that his only son had been killed, so he used the Five Ghosts Guidance Technique, so that the horses and the guards could see the night as if they were daylight, and they could run at a faster speed.
The Five Ghosts Guiding Technique is a kind of ghost technique. The refined five ghosts are used to open a path in front. It can not only drive away wild beasts and pedestrians, but also project the terrain in the eyes of the recipient.
Although this is not an earth-shattering secret technique, it does not consume much spiritual energy and has a terrifying effect.
Everyone let their horses gallop all the way, but ended up hitting an iron plate.
A raging fighting spirit soared into the sky, destroying the five ghosts with just one touch, making Lu Zuo's eyesight go dark.
This is the backlash of the ghost technique being forcibly broken, but the Five Ghost Guiding Technique is not Lu Zuo's natal spell. It is just that the five little ghosts who were not deeply trained in sacrifice were destroyed. The backlash is just temporary blindness in the eyes.
Fortunately, I was cautious just now and used a little trick like five ghosts to guide the way.
If he had just used his natal Heavenly Ghost to use the Heavenly Ghost's method of shrinking the earth, he would have been able to speed up his journey a lot. However, if he was rushed by that fighting spirit, the Heavenly Ghost might not be able to withstand it. If the Heavenly Ghost collapsed, he would be gone today. To be buried here.
This was because his ghost had collided with others, and he was still a ruthless character who could not be offended, so the first thing Lu Zuo did was to order everyone to get away from the roadside and bow their heads to admit their mistakes. Otherwise, there would be no explanation for being killed at night. .
Fortunately, these people were in a hurry and did not go on a killing spree.
Seeing the carriage gradually disappearing, a disciple stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice: "Master, these people are coming from Chengnan Town, will they--"
Lu Zuo was stunned.
He thought for a moment, then nodded, stretched out his right hand, raised his index and middle fingers, made a few vague strokes in mid-air, and then used his fingertips to wipe from his forehead to the center of his eyebrows.
"Open the eyes of heaven!"
Countless qi machines move around in the void, ups and downs.
Then, Lu Zuo stretched out his left hand, scratched the tip of the ring finger of his left hand with the nail of his right hand, took out a drop of blood from his fingertip, and wiped it along with his Qi connecting with the heaven and earth. The blood turned into a ray of dark red light, extending into the void. And the direction he went to was exactly the direction of the six knights and the carriage that had just passed by.
"It's really them!" Lu Zuo was shocked.
If the disciple hadn't spoken just now, he wouldn't have wanted to use the secret technique at all - among the six people, at least one had practiced military martial arts to the realm of harmony between man and nature, and the other five were at least ruthless characters who had developed real strength, and cooperated with him. There is still a tacit understanding, otherwise it would not be possible to connect Qi and Qi.
It is difficult to meet any of these military masters in ordinary times. If you meet six of them at once, something big must have happened - it’s not that Lu Zuo looks down on his son and the Black Snake Society, he just wants to deal with such a small gang. Really There is no need to use such experts.
Let alone them, not even Lu Zuo himself felt that he was worthy of such treatment.
"Master, do we want to follow?" a disciple asked.
"No need. The characteristics of these people are so obvious. If we go back and check, we will know-if we are discovered by them, I'm afraid we will all die." Lu Zuo shook his head.
Although he was grieving in his heart, he still had some concentration after practicing hard for decades.
True disciples of Taoism seek immortality and explore the mysteries of heaven and earth. They practice daily practice to keep their minds pure and have few desires in order to calm their minds.
It is extremely difficult for such people to be emotional.
If Lu Zuo hadn't had a son in his old age, and he was so doting on him, he wouldn't have even batted an eyelid even if an ordinary son died in front of him - let alone avenge his disciple.
