After the Xizi River Dragon King recovered from his injury, he often fished on the river, often watched the construction of the dam from a distance, and often drank on the bamboo rafts on the river with some mud-legged men.
A small boat approached his boat at a very fast speed, and a man with a stern face bowed to him and said a few words.
Then Mr. Zhang knew that the most meaningful moment in his life had arrived.
So he picked up a handful of river water, drank it all in one gulp, and then followed the stern-faced man out of Xizi River and Donggang Town as fast as he could.
…
The northernmost point of Yunqin, behind the Four Seasons Plain, is in the Dengtian Mountains.
Tong Wei walked through a long grass field and entered the bamboo house where Xu Shengmo lived alone.
Xu Shengmo is watering the flowers.
"I never thought you would like flowers and plants." Tong Wei said coldly, as if he were meeting Xu Shengmo for the first time.
Xu Shengmo glanced at Tong Wei coldly, "Except for not liking some people, I like many other things."
Tong Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm just here to make a bet with you."
"I know you want to bet with me about Lin Xi." Xu Shengmo put down the kettle, faced Tong Wei, and said sarcastically: "You want to bet with me that Lin Xi will win, and then prove that many of my views and opinions are wrong.
Yes, let me change some of my mind, but I think you've got the most basic things wrong."
Tong Wei said expressionlessly: "What basic thing did I get wrong?"
"I hate Lin Xi just because Lin Xi is the most favored student of your school. The better he is, the more unhappy I will be. Even if he is so strong that I can easily be knocked to the ground by him, I will stick to my point of view.
Maybe with our methods and teaching methods, he will become stronger faster, instead of facing the enemy with such a big difference in cultivation like now." Xu Shengmo snorted coldly: "As for you, I have always hated you.
You, it’s just because when we were training back then, you told me about my opponent’s arrow in my butt, and you told it so vividly that all our classmates knew about it.”
Tong Wei was stunned.
This was a completely unexpected answer.
"How can you do such a trivial matter..." He couldn't help but feel speechless, just like he was speechless when Lin Xi asked questions many times.
"How long have I been laughed at and stared at? It's a small thing to you, but it's enough to make me hate you." Xu Shengmo looked at Tong Wei coldly and said, "But no matter how much I hate you
You, if I have a teaching dispute with you, you have to understand the most basic point. I have never hated this college."
Tong Wei looked at him, nodded, said nothing, turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he paused and said, "I'm sorry. I apologize to you for what happened back then."
"Idiot." Xu Shengmo muttered expressionlessly and ignored Tong Wei.
…
…
On an uninhabited island in Falling Star Lake, on a charcoal fire, a marching iron pot was cooking, cooking a pot of fish soup. On the fire next to it, several waterfowl in the lake were roasting.
Xu Qiubai was sitting in front of this fire.
There were many fish bones and bird bones piled up next to the fire, but he was carefully applying a thin layer of golden grease on each arrow.
This kind of grease is produced in Tang and Tibet. It was introduced to Biluoling through some caravans from Tang, Zang and Yunqin. After the metal arrows are polished with this grease, the surface will become smoother and can be further reduced when flying in the air.
The small wind resistance makes the arrow's speed and power even more amazing.
The growth trajectories of Xu Qiubai and most of Biluoling's former subordinates Wen Ren Cang Yue are almost the same, they both slowly climbed up from the lowest level of soldiers.
The biggest difference between this type of practitioner and the academic practitioners from all the academies in the empire is that they are better at fighting and know better how to survive.
Because at the lowest level, when the strength is very low, if you want to survive the brutal battle, you must master more methods and techniques, and you must be more careful.
Before, he had examined the corpses of several Da Mang generals who were assassinated by Lin Xi. From those arrow wounds, he had already judged that Lin Xi was at most close to the middle-level national master, and his cultivation was at the peak of the great national master.
Although they were far apart, he still showed no carelessness and prepared himself and his bow and arrow to the best condition.
…
The eyes of the entire Yunqin Empire were focused on the Falling Star Tomb.
Time passes day by day.
More and more Yunqin people knew that Lin Xi had arrived at Falling Star Tomb and that this battle was inevitable. As the day of the duel approached, the vast majority of Yunqin people became increasingly nervous.
However, no matter what anyone's mood is, the day of the duel inevitably arrives.
"What kind of bow and arrow did the academy ask you to bring to Lin Xi?"
On the upper floor of Falling Star Mausoleum in the morning light, Mu Shan Zi, who was only wearing a black singlet, couldn't help but look at Gao Yanan beside her and asked.
Behind Mu Shan Zi, on the left and back, stood five huge black drums, with raised golden dragon patterns on the black leather drum heads.
When Gao Yanan heard Mu Shanzi's question, he couldn't help laughing: "Mu Shanzi, didn't you claim to be here to see how Lin Xi died? You pretended to be indifferent in the past few days, how come today, you
Instead, you finally couldn't help it and wanted to ask me about this bow and arrow?"
Mu Shanzi curled her lips, "I just asked casually, and I won't tell you if you don't want to say anything. Anyway, you can see it directly soon."
Gao Yanan only felt that among all the classmates, Mu Shanzi was the one who looked the most in need of spanking, but also the most fun, so she didn't say anything and just smiled.
But Mu Shanzi said in a casual tone with indifference: "A bow and arrow that saves soul power and is powerful does not exist in this world, right? Taking a step back, even if it does exist, with Lin Xi's cultivation level, it can be used
The power of the arrow cannot exceed that of Xu Qiubai's level of cultivation, because what Xu Qiubai holds is not ordinary scrap metal, and it is something that even a holy master would not dare to use force."
"You're right." Gao Yanan nodded.
Mu Shanzi frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then did the academy bring Lin Xi some powerful, hard-to-penetrate armor?"
Gao Yanan glanced at Mu Shanzi, who was thinking hard about the reason, and had obviously been struggling for several days, "Why don't you wear armor today?"
Mu Shanzi was stunned: "Wearing armor and beating drums consumes more energy, and..."
"That's the same truth." Gao Yanan glanced at Mu Shanzi, who paused in his speech even though he understood a little, and said: "How can you complete the shooting very quickly while wearing heavy armor? And even if it doesn't hinder it, your hands must be exposed.
Only when you are outside can you accurately control the strings. For an opponent like Xu Qiubai, there is no difference between having countless flaws in your body and having only two or three flaws."
Mu Shan Zi was immediately discouraged and said speechlessly: "Not bad...even if we take another ten thousand steps back, we can really be covered in armor that cannot be penetrated by the opponent's arrows, and if it does not affect any of Lin Xi's movements, the opponent's arrows will just collide with each other."
With such force, he could knock Lin Xi alive and seriously injure him. Because naturally the opponent could not only shoot one arrow."
Gao Yanan just glanced at him and said nothing.
"Both sides are archery masters, and what they did before was to assassinate the other's generals with arrows, so the duel must have started hundreds of steps apart." Mu Shanzi couldn't help but scratch his hair, and said in extremely depressed tone: "
Bows and arrows don’t seem to work, nor do armors, so what can Lin Xi do to kill him?"
Gao Yanan shook his head: "I don't know either."
Mu Shan Zi’s eyes suddenly widened: “You don’t even know, then who else knows?”
Gao Yanan glanced at him and said, "Only he knows."
Mu Shan Zi was completely speechless.
After a long while, he looked at Gao Yanan and said: "It seems that this time maybe I really came here to see him die... No, I originally came here to see him die, so why can't I really... forget it, ask
I’ve asked you so many questions that you don’t even know, so let’s just ask a question that you definitely know, Gao Yanan, why are you dressed so solemnly today?”
Gao Yanan is wearing a purple gold silk embroidered lady's dress today, which is very solemn and gorgeous. It is indeed very different from her usual simple and plain dress.
Although he knew that Mu Shanzi's question was just to kill some of the irritability of waiting, Gao Yanan still answered his question seriously and slightly coldly: "In our Yunqin, sacrifices, marriages, revenge...these are originally the
A very solemn question.”
What Gao Yanan said naturally meant revenge, and Mu Shanzi could understand it, but he still slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand, you are getting married. I am afraid that Lin Xi will die, so you have to marry him first."
…”
"Mushan Zi, are you so bored?" Mu Shanzi's words were interrupted by Gao Yanan, who was speechless.
"There's no way." Mu Shanzi suddenly looked sad, muttered a curse word, and then said softly: "I'm getting a little nervous."
In the morning light, a layer of sweat appeared on Mu Shan Zi's forehead.
There were also thin beads of sweat on Gao Yanan's palms.
All the sergeants in the Fallen Star Tomb were waiting silently and nervously, and many people's vests were soaked with sweat from inexplicable nervousness.
However, they discovered that General Gu Yunjing, who had been in the Falling Star Tomb before, seemed to have disappeared in the city today.
The sunlight gradually became brighter, dispersing all the mist on Falling Star Lake.
On the beautiful lake in the distance, a floating bamboo appeared.
On top of the floating bamboo, stood a tall and domineering figure.
Xu Qiubai arrived as promised and was heading down to Falling Star Tomb City.
There were many white waterbirds on the lake, but after the floating bamboo appeared, these white waterbirds screamed and flew away one after another, and they did not dare to land easily after flying very far away.
Because although Xu Qiubai just stood still on the floating bamboo and used his soul power to control the floating bamboo, his body exuded an extremely terrifying aura of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This is the aura that comes naturally from people who have experienced countless battles.
In any previous assassination, Xu Qiubai concealed all his momentum, but now, this was not an assassination, but a duel under the light, so he did not need to hide it.
He himself is the general in Biluoling who has experienced the most battles.
So at this moment, the aura on his body made it seem like he was coming with a sea of blood, as if he was coming with an army full of bloody aura.
Coming to the city!
