Chapter 76 What is a swordsman genius?
Shen Lian can see new decorations in the town every day. The sudden temple fair encounters no resistance, and there is a high probability that demons are involved.
He even suspected that Bago was planning to cause trouble at the temple fair.
No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling that a storm is coming.
Shen Lian chose to sit tight on Diaoyutai.
In particular, he noticed that the imperial court had transferred the Jinwu Guards from Daqi Town and Cangshan Town, and all he had to do was follow behind and grab the heads.
He patiently cultivated the blood-nourishing inner pile, planning to get the scabbard after he was promoted to Dacheng.
The bottleneck of Dacheng did not bother us for long.
The rising qi and blood are like substance, the muffled sound of drumming comes from the chest and abdomen, and the yin and yang energy wraps the nourishing energy and continuously flows along the meridians.
However, it only remained within the scope of the courtyard. The nourishing blood energy could not threaten the yin and yang energy, and the two did not conflict in the Dantian.
"The blood-nourishing energy is relatively mild and restrained, and is indeed suitable for assisting horizontal training."
Shen Lian will restrain the energy, and the Dantian will gradually become stable.
[Nourishing Internal Stake (Dacheng)]
After Shen Lian opened his eyes, he looked towards the courtyard door and said to himself subtly: "I wish you the best, you are actually free to come here. Send the scabbard.”
The door opens.
"It just so happened that I was passing by the pawn shop."
Zhu Yihong was holding a leather scabbard with an extremely complicated expression.
Looking at Shen Lian's appearance, his temperament is more like that of an ordinary scholar, which cannot be compared with the giant who can climb mountains.
“Which Shen Lian is the most real Shen Lian?”
Zhu Yihong looked around the courtyard.
There are obvious traces of residual strength all over Shen Lian's body, which proves that he is indeed practicing martial arts. Maybe the five innate realms mentioned by Li Shun are not fake.
Alchemist? Warrior? Or...a demon in human skin?
"Shen Lian, the scabbard is made of ghost skin after all. It needs to be exposed to the sun every two or three days to avoid resentment and in case it turns into a ghost..."
Zhu Yihong was speechless. In hindsight, I realized that Shen Lian was a vicious man who could kill hundreds of demons, if not thousands, with one punch.
She handed the scabbard to Shen Lian.
The scabbard exudes a faint fishy smell, and its size fits the bone blade very well. Moreover, after being treated by a middle-aged man like soaking it in copper water, the hardness of the scabbard is not weaker than that of ordinary metal.
There are clever buttons on the back that can extend the length of the scabbard to four feet.
The two were silent.
Until Shen Hansheng suddenly came to the courtyard with tea and snacks, faced Zhu Yihong with a smile on his face and said, "Miss, please have a seat. If we are negligent, please forgive me."
Shen Hansheng After saying that, he left the courtyard and used peanuts to lure away the melon-eating starlings.
The corner of Shen Lian's mouth twitched, remembering that Shen Hansheng had been talking about getting married and having children recently, and he was obviously a little confused.
Zhu Yihong also felt uncomfortable.
"Shen Lian, do you practice sword skills on a daily basis?"
"Occasionally."
Zhu Yihong looked at Shen Lian's movement of sheathing the bone blade. It's not like he is proficient in sword skills at all, and he most likely doesn't even have the habit of practicing sword skills.
As for the bone blade, in her eyes it was completely flashy.
Zhu Yihong really couldn't understand why Shen Lian used ghost skin to make a scabbard. If a demon noticed it, it would probably cause disaster.
Is it fishing?
She couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene of Shen Lian swallowing his resentment.
Shen Lian unceremoniously stuffed all the snacks into his mouth, "Master Zhu, you didn't go to the pawn shop just for the scabbard, right?"
Zhu Yihong chose to come privately, which meant that the Yamen did not know that he was Zhong Kui.
"Shen Lian, you can guess that the temple fair that has arisen in the city is related to Gao Laozhuang, but I tell you, the real situation is ten thousand times more serious."
Zhu Yihong's eyes turned red, Shen Sheng continued: "On the surface, there is no evil in Yanliang Town, but in fact, everything is in chaos!"
She gritted her teeth and murmured: "Just from the traces we found, there are eight demons in the city. The ghosts who escaped from Gao Laozhuang!"
"It means that if the ghosts riot, there will be countless casualties in Yanliang Town!"
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.
Just kidding, the eight-headed and twine ghosts are similar to the terrifying demons. If they go crazy, the consequences will be disastrous.
“Didn’t the imperial court urgently deploy the Jinwu Guards?”
“Haha.”
Zhu Yihong sneered again and again, the knuckles of his fists turning white, “The demon is moving towards Yan Although I don’t know the reason for the gathering in Liangzhen, the Jinwu Guards of Daqi and Cangshan are also pushing behind it.”
When demons are concentrated in towns that are not under their jurisdiction, their methods can naturally be more unruly, without worrying about excessive casualties among the people, which will lead to subsequent accountability by the court.
Zhu Yihong and the others not only have to deal with demons, but also have to be wary of their colleagues.
“Why are the demons in the cave so troublesome?”
Shen Lian recalled the demons he had faced.
Even though the intelligence is the same as that of ordinary people, as long as it is provoked by Qi and blood, the demon will immediately fall into the paranoia of devouring blood.
As for the demon in Gao Laozhuang, what should I say? Especially tolerant.
He practiced blatantly in the pawn shop every day, but the demon didn't react at all.
Zhu Yihong explained: "You have a misunderstanding. It is true that there are a large number of demons in the cave, but it is not a blessed place for them."
"On the contrary, the demons who can survive in the cave are They are generally extremely cunning."
Shen Lian frowned slightly. In a sense, the cave can actually be regarded as an independent demon force. Of course, due to the Eighty-One Dilemma, the demons cannot come in and out freely.
Zhu Yihong stopped talking.
She actually didn’t say anything. Yanliang Town has been regarded as the tentative [cave residence] designated by the imperial court.
On the one hand, there are three demons that have been dormant in Yanliang Town for a long time. On the other hand, the underground river involved in Bibotan is also a problem.
Fortunately, the three-headed demon never harmed a mortal, otherwise the court would have organized the people to move away. "Shen Lian, the number one at the Embroidery House in Cangshan Town [Ling Yue] will show up tomorrow night at Bibo House in Dongcheng District. You..."
"I will come." Shen Lian couldn't help licking his lips, "If that Lingyue was transformed into a demon, she could just punch her to death."
"Don't."
Zhu Yihong suddenly gave birth to a baby Not good, "Currently we only know that there are monsters hidden in Bibo Tower. Shen Lian, you must see clearly before taking action!"
She suddenly regretted it. Logically speaking, Shen Lian's destructive power is far greater than that of the monsters. .
“I’m not a reckless person.”
Shen Lian waved his hand. As the Demon Exorcist of Yanliang Town, his method of slaying demons and demons was still to encourage good deeds. If he didn't obey, he would kill with one punch.
"There should be other Jinwu guards present tomorrow night. Even if they annoy you, you must not kill them all!!!"
Zhu Yihong seems to have foreseen it. , his expression was even worse than when he was talking about monsters.
"Don't worry."
Zhu Yihong sighed and took out five martial arts secret books from his arms.
"The excellent martial arts secrets I exchanged through Jinwuwei channels include two volumes of pile techniques, two volumes of sword techniques, and one volume of palm techniques."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu."
Shen Lian felt like someone would give him a pillow as soon as he fell asleep, and his sword skills were integrated into the three gates. His transformation was certain, but it was a pity that he didn't practice martial arts horizontally.
Zhu Yihong felt relieved, fearing that Shen Lian would have no desires or desires.
She stood up and walked towards the door, turned around and reminded: "Jin Wuwei doesn't know about you...Zhong Kui, be careful tomorrow night at Bibo Tower."
Shen Lian nodded and watched Zhu Yihong leave.
He casually opened the martial arts secret book and scanned the two volumes of sword techniques with emphasis.
[Qingfeng Knife Technique] is somewhat similar to the Chao Tide Boxing Technique, with a continuous flow of moves and a hidden killing move when the sword is released.
[Horizontal Knife Style] is a knife technique that is more in line with Shen Lian's expectations. It pays attention to holding the knife and saving money. Usually the most fatal one is the first knife.
Shen Lian clicked the secret book and called up the career panel.
[Whether to spend 1 point to master the horizontal sword technique]
Even if you are gifted and have extraordinary understanding, if you want to master the sword technique from scratch, you will need at least half a year of hard training.
So you must add some points to the first sword technique. Once the foundation is laid, the subsequent sword techniques you master can be as easy as the big tablet palm.
"Confirm."
Shen Lian held the bone blade horizontally with both hands, and his awkward movements were corrected little by little.
The experience of using a lot of swords is directly instilled in my mind, as if I have mastered the horizontal sword movement for six or seven years, and the moves are as easy as my arms.
Shen Lian showed his chills.
Clang!
The bone blade was unsheathed, and the fallen leaves in front of him split into two halves.
Zhu Yihong was walking slowly in the alley. Because he didn't go far, he vaguely heard the crisp sound of knives coming from the courtyard.
Her pupils shrank, and she immediately recognized the horizontal knife style.
"How long has it been? Shen Lian only has enough to read the secret book once, right? It turns out that he has already entered the threshold for the first time. What kind of talent is he!"
[Do you want to spend 2 points to get promoted? Martial Arts: Horizontal Sword Form (Xiao Cheng)]
"Confirmed."
Shen Lian skillfully sheathed the sword, holding the sword in a movement he had practiced for twenty years.
Power is poured into the blade.
锵.
The leaves floating around Shen Lian were broken into pieces the size of a fingernail.
Zhu Yihong's face was filled with astonishment. Shen Lian's second use of the sword directly crossed a level, erasing the decades of ordinary people's sword practice.
How can it be described as talent? Simply a natural type of knife.
[Whether to spend 5 points to advance to martial arts: Hengdao I (Dacheng)]
"Confirm."
Qiang.
The sword light shrouded the courtyard, and the weeds on the ground were cut off at their roots, but the fruits and melons were not affected.
Just a few caterpillars cut in half were dropped, and their bodies were not yet dead.
Zhu Yihong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Some Jin Wuwei believed that the alchemist was a born god, and now she suddenly felt that the term "born god" was the perfect word to describe Shen Lian.
As if...as if it were a monster born from martial arts.
Enough to destroy everyone’s cognition.
Shen Lian has no intention of adding more points. It takes 10 points to achieve a successful promotion. After all, sword skills are the only way to keep the bottom of the box. When there is a real need, it is not too late to invest more points.
He wrapped the bone blade in cloth again, placed the scabbard and the bone fruit in the coffin, and buried it half a meter deep under the banyan tree.
A day flies by.
During this period, everyone in the city was chanting Lingyue's name.
There are rumors that Ling Yue is a peerless beauty whose reputation has spread far and wide. She once spent a lot of money on the flower house in the capital without moving it.
I don’t know what the charm of this oiran is, but just in the evening, a large number of young men from the city’s wealthy businessmen gathered at the entrance of Bibo Tower.
Among them were Jin Wuwei's figures, and government officials quietly surrounded the street.
As soon as Bibo Tower opened.
Hundreds of people flocked in, wanting to see the embroidered Lou Tou brand, even spending twenty or thirty taels of tea.
In the chilly wind outside the door, a few strands of cotton wool were floating.
