Chapter 97: Those who cross the boundary are like beasts
In the next few days, Chen Tang went to Qinglong Division every day to find out some information about Qianguo.
When he has nothing to do, Chen Tang will practice Fuhu Fist and White Ape Swordsmanship in the company.
Chen Tang rented a house with a high-walled compound in Wu'an County.
Horses in the Qian Kingdom are expensive, ranging from one hundred taels to one thousand taels depending on the breed and leg strength.
Mainly because for a hundred years, the Chinese mainland has been in the flames of war for at least half of the time, and war horses are the scarcest resources.
For example, houses and courtyards are not expensive.
Once war breaks out, many of these wooden-beam and tile-roofed houses will be reduced to ruins and become ownerless.
Such a large house is located in a pretty good area of Wu'an County. It is connected in all directions and is transparent from north to south. It is also well-decorated. It only costs a few hundred taels a month to move in with a bag, and only 5 taels a year to rent.
Chen Tang still had a few hundred taels of money that Meng Liangyu had extorted from the Wolf Gang, which was more than enough to feed and clothe four people, a horse and a dog in a short period of time.
rich.
Direct annual payment!
The landlord felt happy to see Chen Tang so happy.
Chen Tang also felt quite refreshed.
Compared with the small single room of 20 to 30 square meters in the previous life, this house is simply a villa.
However, Zhiwei had nightmares on the first night after moving here.
It was still the same scene from before, appearing in the dream again.
The voice and the evil smile of the young leader of the Blackwater Gang are like a nightmare, constantly entangled and flashing frequently.
Zhiwei was frightened and woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, and huddled in Qingmu's arms until she was too tired in the morning and fell asleep.
However, this situation lasted for several days.
Zhiwei's complexion looked much worse. She was listless and sleepy during the day.
Even Qingmu couldn't rest well.
Zhiwei felt guilty, but she couldn't control her dreams at all. She became more and more anxious every night.
The weaker the body and energy are, the more the nightmare becomes entangled.
That night, Qingmu watched over Zhiwei, watching her finally fall asleep, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
But it won't be long before Zhiwei will wake up from nightmares again.
I have to think of a way, I can hardly bear it if I continue like this...
Qingmu thought wildly and fell asleep in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, Qingmu was awakened by a slight sound!
In the past few days, she felt very light, and would wake up immediately at the slightest disturbance.
"Hoo!! Hoo!!"
Qingmu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the noise coming from outside.
This thick breathing sound is clearly that of a tiger or leopard. Just by listening to the sound, you can feel a strong sense of oppression!
"No, there's a big insect in the yard!"
Qingmu stood up quickly, gripped the sword tightly, and rushed out the door.
The moonlight was bright and shining like water in the empty yard. There were no big insects or beasts.
But the thick and deep breathing did not stop.
Qingmu looked around, but the voice came from Chen Tang and Master's room.
It wasn't until this moment that she gradually regained her composure, woke up, and realized that there couldn't be any big insects.
But what's going on with this sound?
Qingmu couldn't help but stepped forward and quietly opened the door.
I don't know when, the fat old man had woken up and was standing beside Chen Tang's bed, staring at Chen Tang who was sleeping soundly, thoughtfully.
Qingmu was stunned.
The tiger-like breathing sound she just heard came from Chen Tang's mouth and nose!
Qingmu closed his eyes.
In her mind, she felt that the person lying on the kang was not a person, but a big insect!
It wasn't that I had fallen asleep just now.
When the fat old man saw Qingmu coming in, he gestured for her to go outside to talk.
When the two came to the courtyard, Qingmu couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's going on? I just heard the noise and thought there was a big insect in the courtyard."
The fat old man said: "You feel right. His breathing method is the breathing method of the big insect. This is also the bone-forging internal breathing method of Fuhu Fist."
"I can almost conclude now that the person behind this kid is from the former army, and should be the leader of the former Tiger Army!"
"If not for this, it would be impossible to comprehend the inner breath method of Fuhu Fist to this extent."
"Hu Ben Army?"
Qingmu didn't know much about the previous dynasty.
The fat old man said: "In the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu once had the strongest military soldiers on land, known as the Tiger and Ben Army with a strength of one million. The minimum threshold to join the Tiger and Ben Army is ninth grade!"
In the previous dynasty, everyone practiced martial arts, and there were no strict restrictions on martial arts and internal skills like this dynasty.
From the nobles of the temples to the marketplace, there are many warriors.
The fat old man continued: "Emperor Wu also has an invincible cavalry force, which is one hundred thousand dragon and horse cavalry, including 90,000 light cavalry and 10,000 heavy cavalry."
"The threshold for becoming a Longxiang light knight is to reach the seventh rank, while the threshold for a heavy knight is even higher. You have to reach the fifth rank and cultivate your inner energy!"
Qingmu's pupils trembled when he heard this.
A warrior of rank 97 or above.
The standard of seventh grade is similar to that of Qinglong Guard.
The total of the four elephant guards of Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Suzaku is probably less than 50,000.
What's more, there are still 10,000 heavy cavalry reaching level 5!
This is not difficult to understand.
Only by cultivating inner energy can one hold up the heavy armor of heavy cavalry and maximize the power of heavy cavalry.
No wonder Emperor Wu was able to end the war in Northern China, wipe out all the major Jianghu sects, and unify all the major tribes.
But Qingmu then thought about it, even with a million tiger troops and a hundred thousand dragon cavalry, Emperor Wu was eventually defeated, and the Wu Dynasty had long since disappeared.
Qingmu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked: "Master, you just said that Chen Tang was breathing, wasn't he sleeping?" "This is the power of sitting in trance."
The fat old man said: "This kid is practicing when he sleeps. He breathes with the bone-forging breathing method. There is no need to worry about going crazy!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that his cultivation is increasing every moment!"
"Okay, there's nothing to do here. You can go back to sleep."
The fat old man said something.
Qingmu stood still and didn't move.
Seeing her worried look, the fat old man couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why, is it still because of Zhiwei?"
Qingmu said: "Master, if this can't continue, you have to think of a way."
"Actually, the root cause of Zhiwei's nightmares is nothing more than the fear deep in his heart. The solution is very simple."
The fat old man said: "The way to remove the fuel from the cauldron is to kill the person or thing that makes her afraid. It is best to kill this fear with your own hands."
Qingmu shook his head and said: "This is not easy. The young gang leader is not in Wu'an County at all."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The fat old man continued: "Another way is to find someone who can help her overcome her fear and stay with her at night to give her a sense of security. It should be better."
"Where can I find this person?" Qingmu asked.
The fat old man said leisurely: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of you."
"Master, you..."
Qingmu looked at the fat old man with a strange expression.
The fat old man coughed lightly, fearing that Qingmu would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: "It's not me, it's that boy Chen Tang."
"Him?"
"My enemy, this kid stood up and saved Zhiwei by resisting more than thirty stabbings. In Zhiwei's subconscious, Chen Tang was the one who could help her overcome her fear and give her a sense of security."< br>
"Real or false?"
Qingmu always felt that something was wrong and asked: "What should we do?"
"Simple."
The fat old man said: "Just let Chen Tang sleep next to Zhiwei at night."
"How can that be done!"
Qingmu quickly said: "Although I trust him, it is not appropriate to let them sleep together."
The fat old man said: "Don't we still have you? Just watch from the side."
Qingmu's eyes widened and he asked: "The three of us sleep together?"
The fat old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. This kid sleeps like a dead pig at night. If he can't wake up after a thunderbolt, just treat him like a dead pig lying on the bed."
"Don't you want Zhiwei to get rid of the nightmare? This is the only way for now. Let's try it first."
Qingmu nodded doubtfully after hearing what the fat old man said was true.
You might as well give it a try.
If it doesn't work, drive him back!
The master and apprentice returned to the house again. The fat old man was not polite. He went up and woke Chen Tang up and said: "Get up quickly, Zhiwei is having a nightmare again."
Chen Tang looked sleepy and said in confusion: "It's useless for you to torment me if I have nightmares!"
"Who says it's useless."
The fat old man said: "Go over and sleep in Zhiwei's room!"
In the darkness, Qing Mu's face turned hot when he heard it.
"Why are you sleeping there?"
Chen Tang turned over, changed his position, and lay back down, saying, "It's like laying on the floor over there. I won't go. This heated kang is so warm and comfortable."
Qingmu bit her red lips and said, "Go and sleep on the kang over there. I won't let you sleep on the floor."
The fat old man said: "Did you hear that? Get up quickly and stop the ink stains!"
Seeing that the fat old man was not finished, Chen Tang could only pick up the quilt and get off the kang, and followed Qing Mu to the room.
As soon as I entered the bedroom, I smelled a very pleasant fragrance.
Not strong, light and elegant, just right.
The layout of the rooms on both sides is quite different, but Qingmu's bedroom is just different from the rooms of rough old men like him and the fat old man.
Zhiwei was lying on the left side of the fire bed, still sleeping soundly, frowning slightly, as if he was caught in another nightmare.
Chen Tang was woken up in the middle of the night and was still a little confused. Without being polite to Qingmu, he hugged the quilt and was about to climb onto the kang.
Qingmu quickly grabbed him and whispered: "You sleep on the far right."
"What?"
"I'm afraid you'll mess around."
"Then where do you sleep?"
"Am I sleeping in the middle?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will mess with you?"
"..."
"You dare!"
Qingmu solemnly placed the dagger between the two of them and said softly: "This sword is the boundary. Anyone who crosses the boundary is a beast. Please respect yourself."
"If this doesn't cross the line, it's really worse than an animal."
Chen Tang muttered.
"What did you say?"
Qing Mu stared at Chen Tang, suddenly feeling like he was inviting a wolf into the house.
Chen Tang was very sleepy. Without thinking too much, he hugged the quilt and lay down on the kang.
Qingmu stood there, not knowing what he was thinking of, his face flushed. After a moment, he got into bed hesitantly, keeping a certain distance from Chen Tang.
other side.
The fat old man lay stretched out on the large fire bed and said to himself contentedly: "I feel really comfortable now. The whole world is quiet! In the past few days, this kid has been snoring every day, making my head buzz. It’s like sending him off!”
