The candlelight was slightly yellow, and the night snow outside the window was rustling. Shanyin City was built on the mountain, with the south high and the north low, so just through the Xuan window, you can see that the whole city is dark, only the Lion Tower is still brightly lit.

After the gambling fight is over, Tang Zixiong will definitely have a banquet for the guests.

Wang Xuan didn't care either. He drank hot tea and checked the Tiandao deduction board:

Yin evil body training technique (warming spirit)

Fusion of Taiyin Alchemy Remains, Progress: 35%

Blood Fiend Body Forging Technique (Remnant)

Taiyin Refining Technique (disabled)

Wang Jiayou Dragon Spear Technique (charged attack)

Xiao Sancai's military formation (like arms and fingers)

Simple evil weapon refining method (exploding talisman arrow)

"The Sutra of Demon Transformation"

Current expectations: moderately famous.

According to the progress, it was supposed to reach 34% tonight. Wang Xuan didn't expect that his popularity had just improved, and the effect was immediately visible after he came back.

He understood something in his heart. It seemed that even though ordinary people didn't know about the battle at Yinxian Temple, news inevitably spread among officials and the world. The attitudes of Meng Xiong and Liu Mazi were obviously different tonight.

No matter what, it is always a good thing to increase your popularity.

It is estimated that the physical training technique will be successfully integrated before the new year. The Taiyin physical training technique is extraordinary. Even if it is incomplete, it will have a huge impact on the Yin Sha physical training technique.

I wonder what it will be like then?

…

In the Lion House, the banquet gradually dispersed.

"Commander Li, please be careful on the road."

"Master Liu, let's meet again another day..."

Tang Zixiong bid farewell to the guests one by one with boldness and thorough etiquette.

From today on, he is the master of the two halls of Yong'an and Shanyin in Sihaimen. He has a very important position in the world of martial arts.

"The bet was won..."

Tang Zixiong sighed in his heart, turned around and went up to the Accord on the second floor. When he opened the door, he saw the white-bearded old man from the main altar playing with a small incense burner.

"Mr. Qin."

Tang Zixiong bowed his hands respectfully and said with a smile: "I got this thing by chance. I heard that Mr. Qin has done a lot of research on ancient objects. I don't know if he has the Dharma's eye."

The old white-bearded Taoist looked around and nodded slightly, "It's an incense burner from the Earth Temple in the Chu Dynasty. It's been well kept until now. It seems to come from a noble family, but it smells of earth. Could it be that you dug someone's tomb?"

?”

Tang Zixiong smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I don't have the courage. We are a group of medicine seekers and accidentally found an abandoned tomb of a descendant of the Huang family on the mountain."

"Huang family?"

The white-bearded old man understood, and then shook his head and said: "I think the Huang family was also a wealthy family in Bingzhou, but it was a pity that the Xiao family was wiped out during the chaos."

"The world is like the tide and people are like water. Since ancient times, how many dharma lines have been passed down. The great sects of aristocratic families may seem to last for thousands of years, but in fact they fall apart after a disaster. Do you know why our Sihaimen's business spreads all over the Great Yan and Southern Jin Dynasties?

?”

Tang Zixiong cupped his hands and said, "It's all about the main hall that can shock everyone."

"shit!"

The white-bearded old Taoist sneered: "What flattery? Think about how majestic Xuantian Dao was in the Chu Dynasty. It suppressed the world and no one dared to disobey it. They were jointly annihilated by Taiyi Sect and Xuanyuan Sect, taking away its inheritance and destroying its ancestral temple."

?”

"Our Sihai Sect has been able to survive to this day, apart from strength, thanks to the rules. No one can take what is ours, and we will never touch what we should not touch!"

"That Wang Xuan, don't get too close..."

Tang Zixiong was shocked and swallowed, "Mr. Qin, may I ask why?"

The white-bearded old Taoist looked out the window at the night and said quietly: "Chaos has appeared in the world. The royal family and the aristocratic families of Dayan are all playing chess, using the world as the chessboard and the various states to suppress the evil army as the chess pieces."

"There are too many people watching this game of chess, so we can just sit back and watch..."

"Yes, Mr. Qin."

…

At the same time, on the official road ten miles outside Shanyin City.

The wind and snow howled, and a team of torches formed into a long dragon. It was Liu Xuan and his team.

The oxcart creaked and squeaked, and the lanterns swayed inside the carriage.

Liu Mazi's hands had been wrapped into rice dumplings and he said in a muffled voice: "Second brother, if you lose, you lose. If you stay, you will have a feast. It will make you suffocate just looking at it."

Liu Xuan looked calm as he watched an insect crawling around on his hand and burrowing into his skin as if it had no form. "Brother, it's just winning or losing for the moment. There will be many opportunities in the future."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Mazi with gloomy eyes, "I wanted to intervene in Shanyin. Then the mine and the river transportation would work together to help the elder brother, but I didn't expect that Wang Xuan was so brave. It seems that when I report my work in the spring, I have to think of something else.

Method."

Hearing Wang Xuan, Liu Mazi's face turned red immediately, "Mom, I heard that boy hooked up with the Xiao family, huh, I don't know what kind of shitty luck he got. But second brother, is there really something big happening in the spring report?"

Liu Xuan nodded solemnly, "I used some tricks to get the secret report from the main hall."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Liu Mazi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Second brother, I am not a coward!"

Liu Xuan nodded slightly, "Brother, I know. At that time, my third sister and I were studying at the mountain gate and were bullied. Brother was afraid that we would lose our only support."

"Everyone in the world praises heroes, but who knows that the heroes' homes are full of withered graves?"

"Don't worry, brother, I will support you this time..."

…………

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, the Yang Qi has not yet reached its peak, the east wind has not yet arrived, and the sky is filled with ice and snow.

Although it is freezing cold, Yong'an City is bustling with activity.

It's simple, the New Year is coming.

In previous years, Yong'an Military Mansion was always deserted during the Chinese New Year. Wang Xuan cut some pork, Zhang Heng made a meal of dumplings, and Liu Shun went to the county government to borrow some money to fill the holes, even if he lived for a year.

But the situation this year is very different.

First, the city's members and wealthy businessmen gathered together some rice, flour, grain and oil, and drove several large ox carts into the government office. They also spoke very nicely.

"The army of the Suppressing Evil Prefecture worked hard and made great achievements, and the people of Yong'an will remember it in their hearts."

The county government also sent some drinks to warm up the brothers from the army.

Zhang Heng was wearing new clothes and was beaming with joy. "My dear, I have finally had a good year and have saved some money. I will go to the capital with you to report on my work. I haven't seen the girl from Chunxiang Tower for some years."

"Chunxiang Tower, what is that?!"

Guo Luquan sneered and said: "Thank you for the money, don't worry, follow me, Mr. Lu, to broaden your horizons."

Zhang Heng immediately flattered him with a playful smile, "That's right, I almost forgot that the master is right in front of me, your demonic tiger whip wine..."

Guo Luquan waved his hand quickly, "It's gone, not a drop is gone."

While the two were joking, Liu Shun suddenly came in and said, "Tang Zixiong asked people to send some New Year's goods, and there are quite a few. I asked people to make room for them."

"Throw him out!"

Zhang Heng's eyes widened when he heard this, "That old bastard, my lord helped him get the position of hall master, and he didn't even give him a gift when he left. What the hell."

Liu Shun rolled his eyes, "My lord has already told me that we can just interact with each other normally. Of course I know what I am doing. Do you want you to talk more?"

After saying that, he looked around and asked, "Why don't you see your Excellency?"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "I left the city early in the morning and I don't know what to do..."

…

Outside the city, there is the Beishan Mountain Col.

Wang Xuan sat cross-legged, his body seemed to have no warmth, and the flying snow gradually buried him, like a snowman.

In my mind, the body-building technique is 99% integrated.

After another hour, it suddenly became 100%.
