When Chu Xisheng woke up from a hangover, Tieniu Jia Dali was sitting in the third-floor box of Hanfang Pavilion in the ancient market. He was holding a copper wine pot and pouring wine into his mouth.
There was no one else around him, only a beautiful woman with scantily clad clothes and enchanting figure.
The woman is called ‘Zi Yun’ and is the number one in Hanfang Pavilion.
Almost everyone in the ancient market knows that this is the most beloved woman of Jia Dali, the leader of the ancient market of the Iron Banner Gang.
But when Jia Dali finished the wine in the wine flask and reached out to another wine flask on the table, Ziyun stretched out her slender hand and swung all the wine flasks on the table to the ground, letting out a burst of The sound of 'clang'.
For a time, wine flowed across the river and the aroma of wine spread everywhere.
Jia Dali was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned scarlet, and his mood reached the edge of rage.
His eyes were like bells, glaring at 'Zi Yun': "What? Even you want to disobey me, you don't want me to have my way, right?"
"So what if you violate it? So what if you disobey it?"
Zi Yun raised her chin slightly and looked at Jia Dali fearlessly: "Look at you, I can't see how useless you are! When I met you, I thought you were a heroic and upright hero. But in the end, But he is a poor guy who gives up on himself after a little setback.
Aren’t you just angry that the Xishan Hall Master got Zuo Qingyun’s territory and manpower in the Nanjie Temple Market and extended his hands and feet to the ancient market? Aren’t you just dissatisfied with your banner master and promoted Chu Xisheng to the position of young banner master and appointed him? Inherit the Iron Banner Gang?
If you are really unwilling, then find a way to stop it and change it. All I know is that you are dejected and resigned here, and you are willing to give up. You are obviously a seven-foot man, but why do you have the temperament of a resentful woman? "
Jia Dali was scolded by her, but the anger in his eyes gradually faded away.
He stretched out his right foot and lifted a copper pot from the ground into the air.
Jia Dali took it with one hand and poured out the remaining wine in the pot. His face showed helplessness and bitterness: "What do you know? You asked me to stop it and change it, but what can I do to stop it? Chu Xisheng is my brother , He didn’t do anything to feel sorry for me. Zuo Qingyun also left the Nanjie Temple Market to him. He traveled thousands of miles to protect his friends in Beijing. Chu Xisheng took this quick territory and I had nothing to say.
As for the 'Young Banner Leader', I'm afraid you don't know that even my subordinates believe that Uncle Kuang is the perfect candidate to succeed the Iron Banner Gang if anything happens. They actually persuaded me to be patient and let me consider the overall situation. .And Master Tie, I have indeed made a lot of contributions to the Iron Banner Gang over the years, but if it weren’t for Uncle Tie’s upbringing and support, how could I, an orphan who lost his father at a young age, have my current status in cultivation? I have not yet been able to repay Uncle Tie Shi’s great kindness.”
"But you are still unwilling."
Zi Yun had a look that had seen through. She crossed her arms and looked coldly: "Since you think they can treat you, then you should smooth out all the thoughts that you shouldn't have and suppress them! But if you really let go If not, then find a way to get what you want back.
The Iron Banner Gang has indeed been booming recently, Xishan Hall is also strong, and Chu Xisheng is even more famous in Dongzhou. But as long as you are willing to think and do it, there will definitely be a way. It is better to do it with great vigor than you Now you drink to drown your sorrows and give up on yourself. I look down on you who are so indecisive when it comes to things and only blame others and blame yourself."
Jia Dali frowned slightly, feeling that Zi Yun's words were a little off.
But he didn't think about it carefully. Instead, his mind changed and he really began to think about how to change the current situation and how to prevent Chu Xisheng from inheriting the Iron Flag Gang.
Jia Dali, who was deep in thought, didn't notice it.
At this moment, a faint psychedelic blue light appeared in Ziyun's eyes.
※※※※
On the same day, Chu Xisheng crossed the river to Zhanwen Pavilion in the ancient market and asked Wu Meiniang to burn battle pictures for him.
Wu Meiniang left the capital two days after him, but returned to Xiushui faster than Chu Xisheng.
This is because Chu Xisheng not only has to guard against killers along the way, but also occasionally has to deal with some young knights who want to challenge him.
In addition, he was delayed for a whole day because of the killing of "Blood Droplet" Wang Sheng.
When Wu Meiniang saw the "divine intention" that Chu Xisheng took out, she was immediately shocked.
It was a whole jade plate made of celestial jade, three feet long, two feet wide, and four inches thick. There was a beast-shaped pattern on it, with a dragon head and a jackal body, a knife in its mouth, and the whole body was as smooth as a blade.
Metal flakes.
This is exactly the shape of Yaizhen!
The entire pattern is full of brilliance, not only lingering with a large amount of Gengjin energy, but also containing a powerful charm of heaven.
"Where did you find this battle map? It's of such a high level. Let me see the materials inside. Tsk tsk, first-grade Jizhen Essence and Blood, first-grade Sun Mysterious Essence, first-grade Taiyin Divine Tears, there are so many heavenly materials.
What a treasure! Have you made a fortune? Where did you get these things? These are all auxiliary materials for first-class secret medicines, and any one of them can be sold at a sky-high price in the market."
Wu Meiniang then looked suspicious: "But what is the use of this battle map? This is a picture of the Yajuan beast. It is obviously related to Yajuan, but I have never heard of it."
If it's not in this picture, something necessary is missing.
She even suspected that the picture contained not only the "rhyme of heaven", but even a complete "rule of heaven"!
Chu Xi asked with a smile: "Mei Niang can help me get this tattoo? The price is easy to say, just take a look."
"If the battle map and the secret skill totem also have grades, then the grade of this map may be as high as the second grade, or even the first grade!"
Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed with excitement: "I can help you engrave, but it can't stimulate additional effects. But before that, I still want to know what the purpose of this battle map is. Only by knowing the basics can I learn more.
OK, I’ll help you burn this picture.”
Chu Xisheng hesitated slightly, and then said in a calm voice: "Mei Niang, you need to keep this matter secret for me. This picture is called 'God's Intent', and it is the battle picture of 'God's Will Touches the Death Knife'. You should have heard of Xueyan
Daojun’s famous martial arts, right?”
Wu Meiniang's expression changed slightly: "This is the battle map created for the 'Death-Touching Sword by Divine Will' before the death of Lord Xue Yaidao? Hall Master Chu, are you crazy? Even if you want to seek death, there is no need to use this battle map!"
She is an excellent tattoo artist, so she has naturally heard of the "divine intention" thing.
In the past, Lord Xue Yaidao gave a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to the ‘Tianwen Pavilion’ and asked him to create this battle map.
As a result, before the completion of this map, Lord Xue Yaidao had already died in the divine calamity, turning this expensive battle map into a waste map, which could only be gathered in the high pavilion and collect dust for nearly a thousand years.
"Do you know how dangerous this picture is? This divine intention was not something that no one paid attention to at the beginning. At that time, many people wanted to take advantage of it. However, to draw this high-level battle picture, the first thing to do is to introduce the rhyme and combine the heavenly principles in it.
The rhyme leads to it. After the death of the Bloody Sword Lord, a total of twenty-three people died in this step, including many fifth- and sixth-grade masters."
Above the fifth level, you need to be even more cautious when drawing this picture.
Their path has basically been fixed. Drawing this map will not only be useless to them, but will actually impact their own fundamentals.
However, Chu Xisheng looked calm and had a smile in his eyes: "Of course I am sure that I will never die because of this. Mei Niang, just help me carve the picture, but I won't blame you if you die."
Seeing that Wu Meiniang was still frowning, her face was cold, and she looked like she had nothing to talk about, he immediately laughed out loud: "If you don't want to, Meiniang, then I can only find someone else, but other people may not have the ability of Meiniang."
, and you are not as reliable as Mei Niang, so I actually don’t feel at ease.”
Wu Meiniang's heart sank, and she heard the determination in Chu Xi's voice.
Regardless of whether she agreed or not, Chu Xisheng was determined to draw this battle map.
Wu Meiniang thought for a moment and thought that instead of letting Chu Xisheng find other unreliable tattoo artists, it would be better to do it herself.
Her expression finally softened and she sighed: "I hope you don't regret it. Just take off your top first."
Chu Xisheng immediately took off his shirt.
Wu Meiniang observed carefully and found that this guy looked sickly, but his clothes were full of material and his figure was strong and strong.
What surprised her was that Chu Xisheng's whole body was just a totem of the secret move of 'Wind and Thunder', a battle map of 'Chasing the Wind Sword', and a battle map of 'Yang Yuan Gong'.
However, there was obviously a master-level tattoo artist who had adjusted Chu Xisheng's abilities and stimulated the ability of these three pictures to nearly 140%.
Chu Xisheng was actually able to defeat the three swords of the capital and that Mo Qilin with just these three totems——
Wu Meiniang couldn't help sighing: "You are quite cautious, but you only have three pictures so far, and they are all high-quality. It's not like other people who haven't reached the seventh grade yet have eight or nine totems on their bodies."
Chu Xisheng laughed out loud: "Someone told me that when drawing battle maps, one should be cautious and have a long-term vision. It should be understood that in this world, even the most top-notch cleaning potions cannot actually completely wash away the traces of previous battle maps.
, there will be some residual impact.”
"Indeed, unless the same battle map is re-engraved, it will affect the effect of the battle map. You must be careful when drawing battle maps in the future."
Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "It will take three days and nights to burn this picture. You must not stop halfway. You can arrange the affairs for these three days first, and don't give up halfway."
Chu Xisheng immediately waved his hand casually: "No need to arrange, let's start now."
Now he has Chu Yunyun on the left, Lu Luanli on the right, two fifth-grade half-demon outside, and an extra Ji Qianqian behind him.
So he really doesn't need to worry about those things in Xishan Hall.
However, Wu Meiniang had many things to make arrangements in advance, and it took her a full moment to walk and sit down behind Chu Xisheng.
When she picked up a gold needle, her hands trembled a little.
But then Wu Meiniang took a breath, her hands as steady as a rock.
She first followed the pattern on the jade board and spent about half a day to tattoo an exact pattern on Chu Xisheng's back.
At her level, she definitely can't possess the divine form, and can only achieve an eighty-nine-point resemblance.
But this is just a base map, an introduction——
Wu Meiniang said solemnly: "Attention! I am now going to lead some of the charm of heaven in the battle map to your back. This is the most critical step. Only after it is completed can it be used as a 'bridge' to connect the jade plate to your back."
The graphics and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the complete 'rhyme of heaven', are guided out bit by bit."
Chu Xisheng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this was a step that would determine his life or death.
While he was nervous, he was also looking forward to it.
At this time, the little crew chief was also extra quiet.
It lay quietly in Chu Xisheng's heart, waiting expectantly.
Wu Meiniang found that her hands began to tremble again.
She adjusted her breath continuously, and after adjusting for half a moment, she stabilized her mind and guided Chu Xisheng's 'Rhyme of Heaven'.
What surprised Wu Meiniang was that nothing unusual happened in this step.
This trace of heavenly charm was gradually led to the pattern on Chu Xisheng's back. It was very 'quiet', quietly hidden in the picture, and seemed to resonate with something inside Chu Xisheng's body.
It even spontaneously corrected the pattern drawn by Wu Meiniang.
But at this moment, Wu Meiniang's heart was beating loudly.
She opened her eyes in disbelief and could hardly control her emotions.
Can Chu Xisheng really carry this ‘divine intention’?
Does that mean that Chu Xisheng is qualified to cultivate the Bloody Sword Lord’s ‘Death Touching Sword with Divine Will’?
As long as Chu Xisheng survives, may a second Bloody Sword Lord appear in the world in the future?
The guy in front of her turned out to be such a freak.
When Wu Meiniang started drawing a battle map for Chu Xisheng, Lu Luanli quietly sneaked to the third floor of the Zhanwen Pavilion and peeked at the process of Wu Meiniang drawing a battle map for Chu Xisheng.
In fact, Wu Meiniang has arranged guards on the second floor, but how can this be difficult for Lu Luanli, who is a master of martial arts and martial arts and is good at illusions!
Lu Luanli looked at Chu Xisheng with his muscular upper body exposed and sitting upright on the ground; Wu Meiniang was wearing light clothes, leaning forward, almost touching Chu Xisheng's body, and couldn't help curling her lips with dissatisfaction.
.
However, she also knew that the battle map was being drawn at a critical moment and could not be disturbed.
Lu Luanli looked at it for a while, but finally couldn't stand it anymore and returned to the second floor.
In the living room on the second floor of Zhanwen Pavilion, Chu Yunyun was holding a book in one hand. She was flipping through the books while leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks. Her expression was demure, full of the quiet flavor of the years.
On her body appeared two finger-sized 'Suanni' that looked like a lion cub, jumping around on Chu Yunyun's shoulders and rolling around.
Lu Luanli looked at the little 'Suanni' and remembered the gift Chu Xisheng brought back to her.
Today, when Chu Xisheng woke up, the gift she gave to her sister was a magic weapon called 'Blood Suan Ni', which could make Chu Yunyun's magic of inviting gods more powerful, and even make a 'Suan Ni' spirit manifest for a long time.
into the world.
The gift that Chu Xisheng brought to Lu Luanli was a set of jewelry from the most famous jewelry store in the capital, 'Bai Yutang', called Baihuaxian, which included rose, white flower, plum blossom, peach blossom, peony, begonia, etc., a total of three
Sixteen pieces, Lu Luanli couldn't put it down, it was such a surprise.
But after she felt sweet in her heart for a while, she felt a little bit ashamed. Chu Xisheng went to the capital and experienced so many dangers, but she still remembered herself when she went there, but she focused on the clues about the Nishenqi. She just worked for Chu every day.
Xi Sheng was worried for a while, but couldn't exert any strength at all.
In addition to Chu Yunyun, there was another woman in the living room. She was counting money. She was standing by the railing, looking out boredly.
Lu Luanli actually felt that there was something wrong with this woman named "Ji Qian Qian". Maybe her identity was not as simple as that of an Orion.
But for some reason, Chu Xisheng liked to take her with him as a guard.
She glanced at Ji Qianqian intently, then walked opposite Chu Yunyun and asked in a low voice: "What is Chu Xisheng's totem? Why is it so mysterious?"
Not only was her voice very quiet, but she also used magic to restrain her voice so that Ji Qianqian couldn't hear it.
However, the person counting the money by the railing still pricked up his ears and began to listen intently.
But Chu Yunyun shook her head slightly and said without wavering: "I don't know, brother didn't tell me. He has his own reasons for doing things, and he won't tell me everything."
Lu Luanli couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed when he heard this.
"He refused to tell you? But this picture has been drawn for a long time, it has been a full day. It can't be some top-notch battle picture or secret skill totem, right?"
Although she was unhappy with Wu Meiniang, she recognized her ability to carve pictures.
How can a battle plan that allows Wu Meiniang to spend so much time be trivial?
However, top-level battle maps are all priced astronomically, and even Chu Xisheng cannot afford them.
Chu Yunyun smiled. She was too lazy to answer and just glanced out with a faint expression.
She was thinking about Chu Xisheng's drop of essence and blood, if it was really sent to Wuxiang Benshan.
Then the knife left by Xue Yan should be able to sense it, right?
The person you have been waiting for for a thousand years is almost here——
At this time, the Bloody Divine Sword enshrined on the high jade platform in the Wuxiang Sacred Mountain suddenly began to tremble slightly.
This surprised the two disciples on the stage, and they observed attentively.
What disappointed them was that just before the big guys in the sect arrived, the trembling sound stopped and calmed down again.
At this time, no one, including several elders who arrived one after another, noticed that the blood stain on the back of the Xueyan Divine Sword was three points lighter in color. It seemed that part of it had been sucked deep into the knife.
※※※※
Wu Meiniang said it would take three days, but in the end it only took two and a half days to complete the entire "divine intention".
The moment the picture was completed, Chu Xisheng was attracted by the illusory screen in his eyes.
The blood element points among them have been increased to 274.3 today.
'Symbiosis' in the status bar changes to 'Symbiosis (Second Level)'
Lifespan:173 days
Once the battle map is completed, the symbiosis between him and Xiao Pingtou has reached the second stage.
——You have completed the second stage of symbiosis with a 'Yai Can' larvae below the seventh level. You can share true energy, martial will, and a bloodline talent, and receive a 20% increase.
The life span has been increased by one month, I don’t know why.
The corners of Chu Xisheng's lips raised slightly, and he knew that this was only a small part of the benefits of this 'divine intention'.
According to Chu Yunyun.
The Divine Will Touching Death Knife is based on the Wind Chasing Knife, so it can also increase the power of Chu Xisheng's Wind Chasing Knife by two to three levels, and can also increase the 'Yai Can True Intent' by one level.
However, this system father seems to regard the increase in the battle map as an external force and never displays it on the system panel.
He then used a mirror to look behind him.
This battle map is indeed the best, occupying more than half of his right back.
"I have tried my best to help you shrink it. This has reached the limit of my ability."
Wu Meiniang's face turned pale and she looked very tired.
During these two and a half days of non-stop work, she had to maintain a high degree of concentration, and she was indeed exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted.
However, she still cheered up and prepared the 'Hidden Pattern Potion' for Chu Xisheng.
This potion was also brought by Chu Xisheng, and it has the best concealment effect.
In the future, even if Chu Xisheng is involved in a fierce battle, he will not let this image manifest directly.
Chu Xisheng noticed that there was still an empty space between his right arm and the 'divine intention' on his back, as well as the 'Yuanyuan Diagram' on his right chest.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mei Niang, this empty space is too small, is it enough?"
This is the place prepared for his ‘Dianzhu Zhi’ and ‘Qingyun Zong’, which are also his core martial arts.
Chu Xisheng already has a complete picture of the Wind Chasing Sword, and he can find a way to get both the 'Full Picture of Zhui Dian Zong' and the 'Full Picture of Qingyun Zong' in the future.
These three diagrams are combined to form a complete "Wind and Cloud Divine Electricity Diagram", and its power can be greatly increased.
The key is to advance his three martial arts and the corresponding methods to improve the battle plan, so there is no need to wash them away.
"It's enough. I've seen the 'Comprehensive Map of Zhudian Zhi' and 'The Complete Map of Qingyun Zong'. If it were up to me, this area would be more than enough."
Wu Meiniang summoned up the energy to explain, poured the hidden pattern liquid on Chu Xisheng's back, and smoothed it evenly.
When the battle picture with a dragon's head and a jackal's body gradually faded away, Wu Meiniang slapped Chu Xisheng's body hard: "It's done! Finally, the mission has been fulfilled."
After taking the photo, she raised her eyebrows, thinking that the firm and smooth texture felt really good.
Chu Xisheng suppressed the excitement in her heart and put on her shirt: "Then let's settle the bill. How much do I have to pay you?"
"Let me think about it~"
Wu Meiniang spoke with sleepy eyes: "It costs 20,000 taels of magic silver to draw such a top-notch battle map, but based on our friendship, it's half the price for you. Burning this battle map for you this time makes me feel a lot.
, there has been some breakthrough in carving skills. Count you eight thousand taels——"
Her voice became lower and lower. When Chu Xisheng looked back, he found that Wu Meiniang behind him had fallen into a deep sleep.
Chu Xisheng couldn't help laughing. First she took out eight thousand taels of silver notes from her sleeves and put them on the table. Then she took a blanket from the side and covered Wu Meiniang with it before walking down the stairs.
At this time, on the second floor, Chu Yunyun had been waiting for a long time. She looked at Chu Xisheng up and down, and her eyes began to shine: "It seems like it's done!"
"Of course it is, Mei Niang's standards are not bad."
Chu Xisheng pressed the knife with his hand and looked forward to it: "The next step is the last step. With the help of the little flat head and this divine intention, help me activate the talent of 'Blood of Yazhan'."
Chu Yunyun's plan is interconnected, step by step, to let him possess the talent of 'Yai Can Blood'.
Only by completing the last step can he truly obtain the qualifications to practice the 'Divine Will Touch Death Knife', instead of relying solely on Xiao Pingtou.
However, this requires a drop of at least a third-grade ‘Yai Cane Essence and Blood’.
It depends on their luck. The essence and blood of the mythical beast Yazu is of little use, so it is not expensive, but relatively rare.
The mythical beast ‘睚禦’ is bound to retaliate, and their blood cannot be obtained casually.
Chu Xisheng had to wait a moment until someone would sell the 'Yaizu Essence and Blood' in several black markets and auctions around Xiushui. He was also planning to entrust some friends to pay attention to several black markets near Dongzhou.
He couldn't rely on the system in this matter.
In this martial arts treasure house, you can indeed find the 'Five Spirits', 'Four Evils' and many other mythical beasts as well as the bloodline talents of the twelve second-generation 'Ancestor Titans' from ancient times, but Chu Xisheng has never seen the 'Nine Dragons' in it.
son'.
Chu Xisheng then asked strangely: "What about Luanli and Jiqianqian?"
Why aren't these two women on the second floor? Could it be that they were impatient and left first?
Chu Xisheng felt a little disappointed for no reason.
"Not long ago, someone caused trouble in Nanjie Temple Market."
Chu Yunyun looked towards the south side of the ancient market: "It is said that the new Jun Cheng's brother-in-law wants us to give up the four arenas. The matter is quite big, so I asked them to go and have a look."
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then started laughing.
This is really interesting. Now in Xiushui County, there are still people who dare to do business in his name.
This chapter has been completed!
