Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from predicting opportunities.

Chapter 222 Gandu
Although Xu Guang disdained the techniques practiced by his ancestors and grandsons who pretended to be the Thousand Faced Demon King, he became very interested in the Wutian Cult behind Yuan Xiao.

Since I came to this world, I have basically never dealt with the imperial court. Although the imperial court behaved extremely badly before this, it is the most powerful force in the world after all. Let alone other things, just talk about the treasures in the arsenal and the one that Yuan Xiao mentioned can Let him understand the mysterious cave of Xuan Kung, which is enough to arouse his great interest.

Xu Guang has actually seen that type of mysterious cave, in Zangyun Peak outside Feiyun City. Yuchi Kou understood the "Nine Disasters, Demons and Rebellion Xuan Gong" in the mysterious cave. In that mysterious cave, He also recovered the Ten Thousand Poisonous Cloud Snakes.

It's a pity that at that time, I didn't know how precious a mysterious cave like that was, and I wasn't strong enough to survive in the mysterious cave.

Over the years, I have seen a lot and become stronger, but the last time I passed through Qingzhou, because of the presence of Ming Xiaochen and Shi Zhongyu, I could not find the mysterious cave again.

However, from what Yuan Xiao said, the effect of the mysterious cave near Qiandu will definitely be countless times more powerful than the one outside Feiyun City.

Two more days.

The carriage slowly stopped on the roadside.

Xu Guang stood up and opened the sedan curtain, first fed the thin horse some blood of transformation, then stood up and walked out.

According to what the searcher said, the Tongwu Xuan Cave that Yuan Xiao said allowed him to unify Xuan Gong was right here.

That's...power!
Ming Xiaochen sat down slowly and began to deal with today's affairs.

In this way, Ming Xiaochen walked step by step towards the government dragon platform that symbolized the seat of Emperor Qian. Where he walked, there was silence. Every time he passed by, that person's head would be lowered.

There are ways to do things, and anyone who dares to act as a deserter will be linked to the three gates.

He couldn't sneak in unnoticed. Even if he could get past the top guards, the people on the periphery would definitely spread the news.

Of course the filial ministers of the Ming Dynasty would not allow it.

Instead of moving forward, he retreated.

Ming Xiaochen frowned, "Xu Guang? It is true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I remember that Song Enkui of the Demon Sect is in Xuzhou. Let him go and ask this Xu Guang if he is interested in joining the imperial court. If he is not willing, just kill him. "

……

He had already made up his mind that the Jinwu Guard would never retreat until all the Jinwu Guard's young masters were killed.

As for their escape?

It's not a bad thing for those young masters to go to Jinwu Guard. After all, who asked their families to work in Qiandu.

"We found it...but...the bones were so corroded by the force that it was impossible to distinguish the human form. We can only identify the identity from the remaining bone residue. As for the murderer...we can only speculate that he is not a member of the Tongtian Alliance." The green-robed bald man replied quickly. road.

After passing through a small sand dune, Xu Guang felt that this place was heavily guarded.

……

If he hadn't been worried about causing chaos in Qiandu, Ming Xiaochen might have taken action against those so-called official families.

"There are some clues, but they have not been confirmed yet. Xu Guang, a master from Youzhou, appeared in Taizhou a few days ago, but based on the combat power he has shown before, he should not be Yuan Xiao's opponent."

That kind of halo has nothing to do with strength or appearance, but it is enough to attract people all over the world.

The cloak and black coat were completely spread out in the air, like a huge black bat, Xu Guang was flying quickly through the forest.

Even if he is not worried about whether he can escape from the encirclement of the imperial court, at least his idea of ​​sneaking into Qiandu and seeking treasures in the arsenal will probably not be realized.

The Jinwu Guards guarded the imperial palace of Emperor Qian, but Emperor Qian was mediocre. For a long time, most of the people in the Jinwu Guards were sons of low-ranking families in the official family of Qiandu, and they spent a lot of effort to suck blood from the Jinwu Guards.

The green-robed bald man said respectfully, "With the discussion of the Tongtian Alliance, the three Taoist families and the Murong family of Jizhou sent experts to Haori Road respectively, and the Jinwu Guard began to ask for help."

"Did you find Yuan Xiao?"

"The National Master is not here, the people from the Demon Sect..."

The green-robed bald man was silent for a moment and said hesitantly.

As for why he speculated that he was not a member of the Tongtian League, he knew Yuan Xiao. In a life-or-death situation, he was not so strict with his words. If someone from the Tongtian League killed Yuan Xiao, he would definitely tell the world and discredit the imperial court!
A person like Ming Xiaochen naturally knew the reason for their speculation. He was silent for a moment and tapped his fingers on the document, "It's really interesting. First he is a person from the Corpse Path, and then he is a person from the Wutian Sect. Have you found out who he is? Has anyone landed overseas?”

"Qingfengzi was injured. The so-called Tongtian Alliance was nothing but a piece of sand. But the little girl from the Su family was surprising. I didn't expect that a single thought of kindness twenty years ago would create a disaster for myself. As for asking for help..." Ming Xiaochen said coldly He snorted with a look of displeasure on his face, "Jinwuwei spends so much on military expenses every year and supports so many people. If you go all out to get in, you must have the courage to risk your life!"

Xu Guang frowned.

From the outside guards, one can see that there must be top experts around Tongwu Xuan Cave.

It wasn't until he finished processing the paperwork in his hands that he slowly raised his head.

And now Gandu.

This is terrifying. The three transformations are well-deserved masters in the world. Even in today's era when everyone is stimulating their potential due to the advent of troubled times, although the three-transformation masters have depreciated a bit, they are well-deserved mainstays no matter what force they are in.

It was as if there was a rich aura surrounding the person.

Ming Xiaochen looked to be about forty years old, with a fair face and a beardless face. He was wearing a long robe and looked like an ordinary counselor.

Behind the dunes, there are at least three three-change auras.

The person who came was wearing a green robe and had a bald head. He lowered his head and looked at the ground quietly.

It came and went quickly, and no one on the periphery noticed the information about Xu Guang's infiltration.

Xu Guang could still tell which one was light and which was serious.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hall, and soon a green figure flashed past, and when they saw each other again, they had already appeared beside Ming Xiaochen.

Qianyuan Hall was the palace where Emperor Qian handled government affairs in the past, but now the owner is not the nominal owner of Daqian, but the regent Ming Xiaochen!

Ha ha.

There were palace servants and guards on both sides of the hall, but they all lowered their heads at this moment.

"That's why I asked you to try it." Ming Xiaochen interrupted him, a coldness flashed in his eyes, "A dog that doesn't obey orders is a wild dog."

As Ming Xiaochen's confidant, the green-robed bald man certainly understood Ming Xiaochen's temperament. He didn't dare to ask more questions after hearing this and nodded repeatedly.

"You should have heard about the martial arts competition. This time you and Pang Huan will organize it together to find a few... good candidates."

"Yes!"

……

……

And this moment.

Xu Guang has already driven his horse to the outside of Qiandu.

There are three big cities in Daqian that can be called capitals, namely Yindu, Baiyujing and Qiandu.

Yindu was the capital of the former dynasty, and Baiyujing was the union of the three great gates. Yujingshan was the leader of the city, and it was a majestic city that only appeared in the past thousand years. However, Qiandu, in terms of majesty, is even more prosperous than Baiyujing.

Even though Qiandu was originally just an ordinary city belonging to Jizhou, after six hundred years of the Great Qian Dynasty and eight emperors, regardless of the cost, it has become the most powerful city in the world.

In terms of population alone, it is known as a city of tens of millions of people.

Majestic was Xu Guang's first impression after seeing it. After that, he could only sigh at the hugeness of Qiandu.

Compared with Qiandu, the city made of white jade and white stone can only be called exquisite.

The carriage slowly drove into Qiandu. Xu Guang's carriage did not attract any special attention. At this moment, his appearance was completely different. He was a giant with a height of two and three meters. Even the people closest to him were probably Unrecognizable. After entering the city, patrolling officers and soldiers can be seen everywhere.

After passing through the long street, there is a series of places where military reports were registered.

As far as I can see, there are nearly a hundred registration points.

There were thousands of people queuing up at each registration point, and there were even hundreds of officers and soldiers to maintain order. .

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes. Although Da Qian was in constant war and the royal family was in ruins, the six hundred years of rule were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was just a military act in Gandu, and the time was so sudden and hasty, but the announcement only lasted for more than ten days. So many people came to sign up.

Daqian covers a vast area, and I believe there are countless people rushing towards Qiandu.

It's really grand.

He had no intention of showing off, he just stepped off the carriage and silently walked to the registration point to line up.

But I didn't expect it.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw several officers and soldiers' eyes light up, whispering together, and soon he saw an officer and soldier walking straight towards him.

"This strong man is going to report to the armed forces?"

Xu Guang nodded with an honest face, looking down at the officers and soldiers in front of him who were several times smaller than him, "I came from Jizhou..."

'Sure enough, he came from a small place. With such a body shape, he should be considered a special talent among hundreds of households. He is really lucky. '

When the officers and soldiers heard this, a smile appeared on their faces. They took out a palm-sized compass from their arms and said softly, "Big man, take a drop of blood. If your blood is good, I can recommend you to start directly from the third round."

A flash of surprise flashed in Xu Guang's eyes.

This thing…

"What is this for?" A hint of caution appeared on his honest face at the right time.

The officers and soldiers were not suspicious and explained, "This is a bloodline test. The darker the color, the better your talent. Big man, let me tell you in advance. The higher your talent, the easier it is to be rewarded with new skills and become the top martial artist." ,Understand?"

Xu Guang suddenly realized.

After being silent, he took the long needle for blood testing and pricked it gently. Without using any ability and injecting some strength into the long needle, it quickly pierced the skin and flesh. The officer and soldier stretched out his hand and turned it several times. Pulling it out, the needle was stained with a trace of bright red blood.

Immediately, under the operation of the officers and soldiers, the needle was put into the small hole in the compass, and everything in the middle of the compass gradually changed in color, from white to pale, until it became pitch black.

The officers and soldiers had ecstasy in their eyes, but they tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in their hearts and spoke to Xu Guang calmly.

"The talent is good. I will stay in Qiandu for the next few days, take out your documents, and find a place to stay later."

After a pause, the officer hesitated and said, "If you can't find a place, come to me in Chang'an Lane, Fuguang District, and stay at my house first."

Xu Guang looked at him with gratitude, "Thank you, brother."

After the officers and soldiers left, Xu Guang lowered his head and looked at the blood tester powder stained on his fingers.

The blood test needle was even more magical than he imagined. After piercing the skin, it could vibrate faintly. Fortunately, he could still control the vibration. It only caused a few uncommon acupuncture points to resonate with it, and the rest were absorbed. suppress.

But even so, the color of the compass turned dark.

Judging from the happy expressions of the officers and soldiers, they should be considered extremely outstanding.

Next…

Find a place first, and then start exploring this mysterious... Gandu City.

Although it was the first time he arrived in Qiandu, he could hear some differences in the tone of the previous officers and soldiers.

Nowadays, a new way of practice has emerged in Qiandu, a way to infinitely tap into the potential of bloodline.

Over the years, the strength of the bloodline's ability has been controlled by the current state. It continues to improve as the warrior's state improves, and after reaching a certain point, it no longer improves.

Now it seems that in Qiandu, there is a way of cultivation that is dominated by blood.

I just don't know how it works.

Xu Guang was very interested in this.

However, the process of finding a place to stay was not smooth. More than ten inns in a row were full, and even the stables were occupied.

Xu Guang was quite speechless and was planning to go to an inn farther away.

As he turned around an alley, a tall man in the distance suddenly stopped him.

"Big guy! That big guy in front!"

Xu Guang turned around and saw a woman about twenty years old waving to him.

The woman has a beautiful face and a curvy figure. She is dressed in an ordinary long skirt and looks just like a girl next door. However, Xu Guang feels that the woman in front of him is a bit familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere, but Thinking about it carefully, I have no impression.

In an instant, Xu Guang turned into a simple and honest look, "Excuse me...are you okay?"

"Let me ask you, do you have no place to live?"

Xu Guang immediately understood that this was a local who wanted to make money.

"Is the place where you live quiet?"

The girl gave Xu Guang a strange look. This man was really interesting. He looked poor, but he still cared about the environment where he lived, and she immediately said.

"My house has an empty yard. It's not a good place, but it's very quiet, but... there are a few more people."

Xu Guang frowned, "I want the yard, thirty gold a day."

When the girl heard this, her face suddenly showed joy, but she still pretended to hesitate and said, "The yard is very big. My mother asked me to find ten people. Since..."

"Fifty gold a day." Xu Guang said softly.

The girl no longer cared about being reserved and said quickly, "Okay! I'll give it to you!"

After settling on the price, the girl quickly brought Xu Guang to her residence.

This is a courtyard of about 300 square meters. It is indeed not small in Qiandu, where land is at a premium. However, the house is slightly dilapidated, but it does not affect living.

Xu Guang just needed a place to hide himself from others.

"How is it, big man, not bad, right?" The girl looked at Xu Guang proudly.

Then he bit his fingers hesitantly and looked up and down Xu Guang's physique, "My mother said that the people who live here will take care of the food, but you are too big. Let's agree in advance that I can cook up to twenty kilograms of food for you a day. , five pounds of meat, if you’re still not full, go out and eat!”

Xu Guang smiled, he felt good about the girl in front of him, but she seemed a little greedy for money.

"it is good."

"Also, my mother is not in good health! We live in the back, and you are not allowed to practice at night!" As if she had thought of something, the girl warned again.

Xu Guang nodded in agreement.
