When I got home, I saw Xiao Xiaoci practicing martial arts with Narcissus.
Narcissus' boxing technique is like supporting a willow tree with the wind, as light as the wind and unpredictable.
Xiao Xiaoci also practices a set of boxing techniques, which are agile and flying, as soft as boneless. Combined with the unique body training, it gives people a light and flying beauty.
Li Sui'an remembered that she also had a set of sword skills, using a scimitar, which was also quite exotic.
Obviously this boxing technique, body technique and sword technique are all from the same origin.
It seems that her inheritance is also quite particular.
Although Xiao Xiaoci has become a widow, she is actually not very old, and is only in her early twenties. She has not been practicing martial arts for long, and is already in the body-tempering realm, so her qualifications should be good.
If Li Sui'an is willing to sponsor resources for her to practice, there may be another high-quality warrior in the future.
"Sister Xiao, you look really good in practice." Narcissus wiped off the sweat and praised.
The little deer also clapped his hands and cheered, watching the two big sisters dance with envy.
Xiao Xiaoci was covered in sweat and a little embarrassed.
"Sister Narcissus, you are also making rapid progress."
Li Sui'an came over, and the two of them immediately saluted.
"Master.", "Master Li."
Li Sui'an waved his hand and asked Xiao Xiaoci: "Can you tell me the name and origin of this set of body tempering skills and movements of yours?"
Xiao Xiaoci said it simply: "It's "Flying Phoenix Bone Fist", "Mandarin Phoenix Nirvana Body", "Feng Wu Nine Heavenly Steps", they are all basic skills. I don't know the specific source. According to Lao Yu
, it must have come from some ancient ruins, and he exchanged it from the previous organization."
Li Sui'an understood that this should be the trophy from "Thirty-Six Thieves".
"I feel that this set of exercises is very extraordinary. I practice it regularly. I still have some elixirs here that I no longer need, so I can lay the foundation for you."
With that said, he handed several bottles of elixirs for the strength stage and elixirs for the body quenching stage to Narcissus and Xiao Xiaoci respectively.
"How, how does this happen?"
"Hehe, thank you for the reward, sir." Narcissus had already put it away happily with a smile.
Xiao Xiaoci looked at the pills that had been stuffed into her hands and put them away helplessly.
But just now Li Sui'an grabbed his hand and stuffed it into his hand, but his face was a little red.
When the deer saw that there were jelly beans to eat, he also raised his little hands and looked at Li Sui'an eagerly.
"Sir, here's the deer's."
Li Sui'an touched her little face and said, "I have no teeth, but I still want to take pills. I will wait until you grow up to take them."
Xiaolu: "..."
Li Sui'an came alone to the quiet room, the ancestral orifice of the divine court, and his spirit sank into the human soul sitting on the black lotus of the soul, meditating.
A large amount of visualization information came into his mind, and he spent some time digesting it.
Then he looked at the two figures of light who were sitting down and chanting sutras and praying devoutly, and called one of them.
"Hmm~ What nonsense are you talking about? My husband suddenly remembered something and I have to go to the study to deal with it urgently. You should rest first."
After saying that, he quickly got up and put on his clothes, rushed into the study, and closed all the doors and windows.
Then he prayed devoutly, chanted scriptures, and praised the great Lord, "My Lord is the Supreme Lord of Darkness, my Lord is the great innate god of chaos, and he is a God worthy of praise and praise..."
Suddenly, messages came into my mind one after another.
He nodded respectfully from time to time, "Yes, yes...my Lord, your loyal servant will definitely do it for you."
…
After Li Sui'an gave Liu Zongyu some instructions, he sensed the location of the void beholder and opened the void portal leisurely.
The next moment, he appeared in a quiet house.
He stretched out his hand and picked it up. In the void in the courtyard, a beholder stretched out its tentacles from the void and wrapped it around Li Sui'an's arm. The big eyes were also burned flat, as if embedded in the palm of his hand, forming a strange palm pattern.
Li Sui'an took some cover and walked out of the house, facing a wide and bustling street.
When he looked up, he could still see patrol flying mounts flying by in the distant sky from time to time, and even several small starships and airships flying by from time to time. He couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Stars, airships, and airships all represent one of the highest-tech products of mankind in this world. They integrate materials, formations, runes, metals, knowledge, power, etc., and can be called a large collection of magic weapons. It can be said that
It is the vane of scientific and technological progress of the times.
The price is naturally extremely expensive.
Only the powerful, rich or super powerful can afford it.
This is Beidu.
A strange city.
Unlike Kunpeng City, Beidu has no city walls.
From a distance, a large number of tall and short buildings form an endless ancient alien city. The closer to the city center, the taller the houses.
Although there are no skyscrapers that often exceed 100 meters like those in the earth's reinforced concrete forests, the prosperity here is not lagging behind at all, and the population is very dense.
Li Sui'an called a carriage and drove around the city and outside the city.
The buildings in the city are expanding outward one after another, like a Bagua disk, with roads extending in all directions, surrounding the Tiandu Palace in the center, and spreading out in circles.
Viewed from a high altitude, the entire northern capital forms a giant Bagua city.
The eight main roads in the city are all very wide and can accommodate a dozen carriages traveling parallel to each other. There is a magical lantern every ten meters.
Li Sui'an observed a little and found that these lanterns actually used Source Stone as energy source and acted as street lamps.
The street paved with uniform black stone slabs is busy with traffic. The houses on both sides are lined up in rows. Most of them are based on stone and supplemented by wooden structures. Most of them are short wooden houses with only one or two floors. The architectural style is very uniform.
There are also many luxurious high-rise buildings, the tallest ones can be built up to seven or eight floors, and usually have extremely large construction areas. At first glance, they look like bustling restaurants and entertainment venues.
Just by looking at the density of buildings, you can vaguely tell which street is more prosperous.
People were coming and going on the street, bustling with all kinds of people passing by, young ladies, porters and idle men, aunties buying vegetables, apprentices working part-time, coachmen pulling loads of goods, children playing... the whole city was full of people.
The breath of life.
The flow of people is greater, which means that this northern capital city, which is guarded by six northern roads, has a population that far exceeds that of Kunpeng City.
The carriage went straight outside the Fifth Ring Road, and the flow of people on the road began to thin out.
What you see is a large plain, where rivers and mountains intersect.
There is endless farmland as far as the eye can see, with countless farmers working in the fields.
In addition to farmland, there are ironworks with towering chimneys, textile gardens, pastures, and private estates of powerful people.
Although there is no city wall in the northern capital, the defense and guarding intensity are not reduced at all.
On every main road, you can see very conspicuous and heavily guarded city gate towers. There are city guards stationed below, and occasionally they will conduct random checks on passers-by.
Once they don't like you, they will come up and question you.
And on each tower, there is a bell, a magic weapon, a mirror to ward off evil spirits, a sword hanging high, or a totem of evil beasts, etc.
If this city was a large formation, then these towers would be at the center of each formation. Once an enemy invaded, they would form a whole and snipe the enemy together.
What's more, Beidu already has a strong reserve of military power and is defended by the Six Paths of the North. Unless one of the Six Paths of the North falls first, the disaster will never befall Beidu.
This is already the case in Beidu, what about Darun Capital?
After walking around, Li Sui'an got a general understanding of the city.
Before nightfall, the carriage happened to arrive at a place full of lights and feasting.
Li Sui'an looked up and saw three large gilt characters "Yixiang Garden" on the huge plaque.
After night falls, the whole north becomes even more dazzling.
All the magical street lamps were lit one by one, immediately creating a city that never sleeps.
Behind him, opera singing and dancing could be heard in the Yixiang Garden, and the sound of melodious music continued, and Li Sui'an refused to leave.
He stopped the coachman and said, "That's it."
"Yes, sir, do you want someone to pick you up later?"
"No need, I will go back on my own."
I threw a tael of silver to the coachman. The coachman was overjoyed and kept bowing to thank me.
Watching Mr. Li walk into Yixiang Garden with his hands behind his back in a smart manner.
"Master, please come in. Master, you are so kind. Is this your first time here?"
"What's up? Is there any discount for my first visit?"
"Look what you said, what we do in Yixiangyuan is hard work, and we can't survive with discounts. It's the first time for the young master to come. I can introduce you to the young master. Our top girl Chunxiang is out of the palace today. The young master is here just in time.
If I can win the favor of Miss Chunxiang, maybe I can get a kiss."
"Tsk tsk, isn't it fate? Is Miss Chunxiang older?"
The madam was startled and said, "Not very old. Miss Chunxiang is only twenty-eight years old, which is the age for a bride to be married. How can she be older? She is still young."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Li immediately made a disgusted face and said, "Oh, I don't want the small ones."
"I'm hungry, please bring me a table of signature dishes first. I don't like being too quiet when eating, so I'll arrange a group of girls to dance and play music to make me happy."
With that said, he took out a few silver ingots and placed them in the old bustard's hands.
The madam immediately beamed with joy and shouted loudly.
"The private room with the highest number upstairs is here to welcome the young master."
…
Li Sui'an reviewed the Beidou sisters' professional level with a critical spirit.
Judging from his long-term experience among hundreds of flowers, he can only say:
not bad!
In the eyes of many sisters, this young man has so many tricks up his sleeve.
After a few glasses of wine, he actually started to comment on the dance and music in Yixiang Garden.
Not to mention, after he changed it, it felt a little different, it was more rhythmic and lively, but it just didn't fit the tune.
Especially the dance is simple and direct.
Raise your hands, twist your hips, just two simple movements, and say what is this...a big pendulum.
There are rewards for dancing well.
During the dinner, several girls made secret glances at him, almost putting themselves in his mouth.
However, Mr. Li just took the two oldest ones, one to the left and the other to the right, and kept chatting.
They talked about all kinds of topics, including which store in the city has the best business, which store has the biggest background, which street has the strongest influence... I almost lost my sister.
As the night progressed, I thought that this good-looking, generous, and humorous young man would stay the night, but this young man suddenly stood up and was about to leave.
"Sir, are you not taking good care of me?" The sisters panicked and felt a little reluctant to leave.
Li Sui'an hugged him from left to right and took a sip of incense.
"The water flows slowly, the water flows slowly. The tigress at home is watching closely, so I want to go home and soak my feet. Next time I come, I will meet you two little darlings. Be good~"
"Pa~"
The sisters simultaneously covered their buttocks shyly and watched Mr. Li leave.
After leaving Yixiang Garden, Li Sui'an woke up as soon as the slightly hot night breeze blew.
I let out a long sigh, the happy forest still smells good.
As people get older, do they start to miss the past?
Shaking his head, his whole body was shaken with energy, dispelling the smell of alcohol and woman's fragrance.
After walking on the street at night for a while, I found a quiet and secluded alley. I was about to leave when I suddenly heard a scream.
My heart moved involuntarily, and I walked over after hearing the sound.
When I poked my head out of the wall, I saw that I was inside a medical clinic. Several big men broke into the backyard in the middle of the night and beat up a family of young and old.
A woman, a half-year-old boy, a teenage girl, and two children.
The child's cries were so loud that many neighbors were alerted, but no one dared to come forward.
"Master De, please do well. My father has gone on a hunting tour and will be back soon. Our family really only has this little money left at the moment, so we have given it all to you. The rest will be collected as soon as possible.
You." The young man prayed humbly, even if his fist fell on him, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
The strong man threw a few big coins handed over by the young man into his face and shouted angrily: "Do you think we are beggars? Don't tell me that your dead daddy has no chance of living. Even if he comes back alive, he will get four cents of profit."
Even four cents of profit, not a penny less, go in and search for me!"
A group of people broke into the back room arrogantly, rummaged through boxes and cabinets and smashed them.
In the end, Mao couldn't find many of them, so he got angry and beat up the whole family again.
"Remember, the four cents of interest will be sent to the gang within half a month, or if you come back next time, your sister will be used to top up the amount." After saying that, he glanced at the girl huddled in her mother's arms with a sinister smile, which frightened the girl.
I forgot to cry.
At the end, he grabbed a handful of medicinal materials and left with a lot of curses.
The family in the hospital cried for a while, and those who wanted to speak shed tears first.
The mother did not cry, but looked at the children of the family, but her face was full of despair, "In this world, we are seeing a bumper harvest, and the people can live a good life for a few days, but the profits and taxes are even heavier. In the past, I could barely do it if I had two whites and three blacks."
How can we survive? Now your father is nowhere to be found, and you still have to pay interest, three for free, and four for black, leaving our family orphaned and widowed. How can we survive?"
When the boy heard his mother crying, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He stood up suddenly, but accidentally touched the wound. He grinned in pain, "No, I want to learn martial arts, and I want to kill Wood and his gang."
"Shh! Brother Boy, please keep your voice down, or you may get into trouble if the neighbors hear you."
Li Sui'an saw this and sighed in his heart.
He was almost blinded by the lights of the city.
Beneath the brilliance, concealed is an even nastier darkness.
The poorest and most miserable are the common people.
"Pap~"
When the family in the courtyard fell into despair, several silver balls flew into the courtyard from outside the courtyard wall and landed among several people.
The family looked at each other.
The boy's heart moved, and he quickly jumped to the wall of the courtyard and looked into the alley, but he could see no one anywhere.
suddenly~
A dazzling yellow light flashed past, and several screams were heard on the street.
Brother Hai was so frightened that he almost fell off the wall.
The next day, he got up early in the morning and as soon as he opened the door, he heard that there was a lot of excitement outside.
The night watchman of the Lamp Holder had just withdrawn, and the neighbors in the streets were talking about it, saying that some of the De bosses from the Fu Clan were killed in the street and died miserably.
Brother Hai was even more shocked.
I rushed over to inquire about the situation.
There are different opinions, some say it was a passing hero who helped the hero.
It is also said that the Woods and others were clearly taken away by God. In the middle of the night last night, a thunderbolt of yellow light fell from the sky, followed by several screams.
Some people say it's an evil spirit...shh, don't dare to say such nonsense.
Brother Hai couldn't figure out the specific situation. Thinking of the light he witnessed last night, his heart was pounding. Finally, he learned that there was a name left on the scene: a huge eyeball mark!
…
It lasted for months.
Li Sui'an killed the enemy at the mass grave.
Occasionally, I also relax, listen to music, and walk in brocade clothes at night.
