Lin Qingyan promised that the reward from "Senior Sister Lan" would arrive soon, a total of two "Dali Pills", all packed in red sandalwood boxes.
Although the number is not much, considering that one powerful pill is Lin Qingyan's one-month salary, plus the one she gave before, there are three "powerful pills" in total, and Yang Ji himself also gained a lot of benefits in the process of enlightenment.
, just for helping to understand and improve the power of swordsmanship, this reward is already very good!
Yang Ji swallowed one of them to consolidate his realm, and put the other away for future emergencies.
…
"He who is good at being a soldier does not use force; he who is good at fighting does not get angry; he who is good at defeating the enemy does not fight against him; he who is good at using others is subordinate to him."
There was a rustle in the room, and Yang Ji wrote two vigorous and powerful characters on the white paper, and then nodded with satisfaction.
These two sentences came from the scriptures given to him by the historian, and they were about two sentences left by the ancient literary sages. Yang Ji felt deeply in his heart these days, so he wrote down the two sentences.
Although the literal meaning is not difficult to understand, Yang Ji always feels that these two sentences seem to have other meanings.
"Those who are good at fighting do not have great fame. In fact, the magical powers of the ancient literary saints are no worse than those of warriors, but it is rare to hear that the literary saints take action. The names of the literary saints who are not fighting and not martial have been passed down, but those who are as powerful as the literary saints are
However, they were annihilated one by one, and this may be what makes them outstanding."
Yang Ji put away his pen, raised his head, and thought to himself.
Reading to cultivate one's character, practicing calligraphy... This is basically what Yang Ji has been doing these days. Or it may be that his mind is calm when he is reading and practicing calligraphy, coupled with the effect of the "Literary Saint's Pen and Ink" fragments, Yang Ji has indeed recovered during this period.
A lot.
After lifting up the pen and ink on the table and letting it dry, Yang Ji pushed it aside.
"Yang Ji. Yang Ji..."
Suddenly, a burst of excited laughter came from outside the door, and the footsteps got closer and closer. In just a blink of an eye, the room was pushed open with a bang. A figure immediately broke in.
Duan Gang's face turned red and he laughed happily.
"Duan Gang?"
Yang Ji turned around with a look of surprise on his face. Shouldn't Duan Gang be practicing outside at this time? Why did he come to his place at this time?
"Duan Gang, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
Yang Ji raised his head and frowned. He had long been accustomed to Duan Gang's behavior of barging in without knocking on the door. Duan Gang's character was always like this.
"Haha, Yang Ji, do you still remember the small town we saw at the bottom of the mountain? Su Hong said that we should go there and heard that there are many good things there. Yang Ji, do you want to go with us and take a look?
?”
Duan Gang said with excitement.
Besides training, Duan Gang is most interested in those strange things in the sect world.
"A small town?"
Yang Ji was thoughtful and thought about it. The town was not far away, only six or seven miles away from Tieguan Mountain. But because he was very busy in Painei, he had never been there.
"Okay. Call me then."
Yang Ji nodded.
After completing this series of things, he had already established a firm foothold in the Iron Crown Sect. Moreover, he was really tired after helping Lin Qingyan for more than a month, so he just happened to go down the mountain to take a look and relax.
"Haha, okay. I'll sue Su Hong."
Duan Gang said.
"By the way, when will we leave?"
Yang Ji asked.
"Just these two days!"
…
Two days flew by.
The appointed day soon arrived. Early in the morning, Yang Ji and Duan Gang were waiting outside the palace where they lived. To be honest, Yang Ji had some small expectations for this small town near the sect.
"I'm coming……"
Duan Gang looked ahead and shouted repeatedly. He saw Su Hong wearing a red coat and a pair of pointed deerskin boots on her feet. She shook her little hands as she walked. Her feet bounced as she walked.
With jump.
"Duan Gang, Yang Ji, you are here."
Su Hong's face was flushed, and her eyes were looking forward with a vague expression.
Duan Gang just sighed in admiration, feeling that Su Hong was different today. But Yang Ji laughed.
"Su Hong. It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events. Looking at you, did something good happen today?"
Yang Ji smiled.
Su Hong's steps were brisk and she had an aura about her body. Even a fool could tell that she was in a good mood today.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's not that something good happened today, it's that there have been good things every day in the past few days. And there will be good things in the future."
Su Hong shook a green-green finger and said with a smile.
"oh?"
Yang Ji and Duan Gang looked at each other, secretly surprised. There was a mystery behind Su Hong's words.
"Hey, if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have guessed. During this period, Senior Sister's skills seem to have greatly improved. Several of Senior Sister's rivals in the past have lost to Senior Sister. Today I met that Luo Yunzi and saw the big sister.
Senior sister lowered her head and walked away without even daring to stop. Thinking about how arrogant she was before, it was really refreshing, hahaha..."
Su Hong laughed so loudly that her eyes almost rolled with laughter.
"So awesome!"
Duan Gang didn't think much about it, and exclaimed in amazement.
"Yeah, I wonder why Senior Sister suddenly became so powerful? Those former enemies were all arrogant when they were stronger than Senior Sister, and now they have all been beaten down. It's really a relief. I heard that Luo Yunzi...
I met Senior Sister in the woods a few days ago, and she cut off the lower part of her hand! Hahaha..."
Su Hong smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.
Yang Ji glanced at Su Hong, thoughtfully. He had been resting in his room these past few days, but he didn't know that these things had happened.
"Senior Sister" and the "disciples" who follow her are both prosperous and destructive. So Su Hong's mood is understandable.
"No matter what, it's worth it if the new set of Lightning Mother Sword Techniques can play such a role."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Su Hong obviously didn't know that Lin Qingyan's new swordsmanship was improved by Yang Ji, but Lin Qingyan didn't tell her, and Yang Ji wasn't prepared to tell her.
"Let's go."
Yang Ji calmed down and spoke.
There is no means of transportation between Tieguan Mountain and the town, so the three of them can only walk. The distance of six to seven miles is neither far nor close.
The three of them used Qinggong and hurried on with all their strength. After about half an hour, they finally arrived at the small town. Rows of white walls and green tiles, cornices and arched corners came towards them with a spacious blue stone path in the middle.
The town looks relatively depressed from a distance, but when you get closer, you realize that the streets are full of people. There are people wearing all kinds of clothes.
"So many people!"
Duan Gang couldn't help but sigh.
Although it is not large in scale, the town looks much more lively than Tieguanshan.
"It seems like there are more than just disciples of our sect here, right?"
Yang Ji looked around carefully and said.
It was his first time visiting a small town surrounding such a sect. It really gave him a very novel feeling.
"Of course."
Su Hong said with a smile:
"In addition to the relatives of the disciples of our sect, there are also disciples of other sects, as well as secular people and even people from the court. Although there are not many disciples of our sect, none of them have their own backgrounds. Small clans, big clans, wealthy businessmen,
Wealthy families, even aristocratic families..., there are many people behind the disciples of each sect. In addition, the influence left here by the senior brothers who have left, so it becomes what you see."
"But in general, it's mainly the disciples of this sect. Although there are also disciples from other sects who come here, their level is generally not high. Usually they come here to buy some materials that are not available near their sect. - Here.
, safety is still guaranteed.”
Su Hong smiled and added.
Yang Ji nodded. The town was not far from the sect, so the safety should be relatively good.
Yang Ji looked carefully. There were shops on both sides of the wide bluestone road. Although they were not magnificent, they were very neat.
"Senior Sister Su!"
"Senior Sister Su!"
"Senior Sister Su, you are here!——"
Along the way, people in the crowd kept saying hello to Su Hong. They were obviously familiar with each other. Su Hong smiled and greeted these people one by one.
"Yang Ji, Duan Gang, I'm going to go shopping first and buy some things. It's your first time here. Let's relax and look around. If you see something you like, buy it. There are still a lot of good things here."
Su Hong turned around and said with a smile.
"Well. You go ahead."
Yang Ji and Duan Gang nodded.
"Okay. You two can go shopping separately. When the sun is about to set, we will meet at the entrance of the town and go back together."
Su Hong said.
Yang Ji raised his head and looked at the sky. It was still early, and there were still at least three or four hours before the agreed time. It was enough for them to walk around here for a few times.
Moreover, the town is not far from the sect, so there is no need to stay here overnight.
Waving to Su Hong, the two of them watched Su Hong disappear into the crowd of people. As for Yang Ji and Duan Gang, although they had a good relationship, they were not inseparable and could not leave for a moment.
Respect is the most basic thing between friends. After a few words, the two of them separated and went shopping in their own places to see if they could find something they liked.
There are a dazzling array of things in the shops in the small town, and many of them are spread on the roadside for people passing by to watch. Yang Ji observed carefully for a while and found that most of the things can be bought with banknotes, and Yang Ji did not appear.
Ji is worried about the situation where only elixirs can be purchased.
"Excuse me, how do you sell your fine iron?"
Yang Ji took a step forward and quickly took a fancy to a few fine iron ingots sold on the street. In the border areas, fine iron was not only rare, but also precious.
Yang Ji still remembered that when he blocked "Zuo Guangdou"'s fast sword, he relied on a glove made of fine iron given by Lu Ling. Even the long sword on his body was made of fine iron by the imperial court.
This kind of thing has many uses, even for collection.
"The small ingot is five thousand taels per ingot, and the large ingot is ten thousand taels!"
The "guy" was dressed in civilian clothes, squatting behind the bunk, and opened his mouth without thinking.
"scare!"
Yang Ji was shocked: "So expensive?!"
Fine iron is indeed very expensive, but it’s not that expensive, right?! At least when Lu Ling gave him a pair of fine iron gloves, he didn’t feel so outrageous!
