Chapter 706 ** Ceremony
It was windy in the evening and there was a little cooler.
The wind blows the leaves and rolls through the cold streets.
It seemed that people on the whole street felt the silence in the air, so before nightfall, there were no more pedestrians on the street, and occasionally passersby were in a hurry.
Bibo City is half a water city with heavy water vapor and colder at night. Before winter, many people have to make fires to keep warm.
The wind blew into the wine shop, and the wine shop owner Hu Haiqiao hurried to close the door.
When the door was closed, I saw a pedestrian passing by the door and kindly reminded me: "Niu Da, why don't you go back quickly! I'll hide at home tonight, don't come out."
"Hey!" the man responded and accelerated his pace.
Hu Haiqiao topped the door and brought the charcoal basin to Ye Xuan's feet, saying a little apologetically: "Young Master, I'm really sorry. I usually use tobacco charcoal, so I can only apologize for you."
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Xuan didn't care about this. For warriors, it didn't matter if they didn't have to cook fire, but the boss of the wine shop also expressed his good intentions, so he didn't refuse.
Hu Haiqiao set up a charcoal basin and skewed three pieces of bacon with bamboo sticks. The other end of the bamboo stick was inserted in charcoal ash, and hung it next to the charcoal fire and roasted slowly.
Ye Xuan took out the secret sword technique in the Wancang Storage Ring and slowly looked through it.
These sword techniques have high and low ranks, but each sword technique has its own uniqueness.
Ye Xuan took it out and looked through it. It was not necessary to practice it, but to understand some of the flaws and unique features of these sword techniques.
Since the sword art has been enlightened, the sword art realm has reached a peak to a certain extent. For these sword arts, you only need to read them once and you will probably know the art of moves contained in the sword art.
Night gradually descends.
The Night Owl's Secret Guard came back at a frequency every quarter of an hour to report the situation outside.
Ye Xuan was roasting the fire, reading the book, listening to Ye Xiao's secret guard's report, which meant to be strategic.
"Young master, the Heavenly Demon began to dance the sacrifice dance in the underground gathering venue, but no high-level Heavenly Demon Priest was present, and the soul-suppressing Singing was used by the Echo Conch." Ye Xiao Dark Guard reported.
Ye Xuan had seen the God-Sacrificing Dance of the Heavenly Demon Clan. To put it simply, a high-level Heavenly Demon Priest chants from the ancient Heavenly Demon Soul-Suppressing Singing, and a large group of Heavenly Demons danced around the priest.
If it is the Tian Yao tribe that has the customs of the ancient times, after sacrifice to the gods and dance, it will be ***.
Many women with the most noble bloodline of the Heavenly Demon will give birth to powerful bloodlines in this way with many of the strongest Heavenly Demon warriors.
To a certain extent, this most direct bloodline combination does indeed have the possibility of creating stronger bloodline offspring.
However, there were no earth-shaking powerful people in the Tian Yao clan in ancient times, which may show that relying solely on blood cannot make a clan prosperous.
After supper.
Hu Haiqiao brought two children in from the backyard, one boy and the other, seven or eight years old.
The girl is an older sister, with pretty faces and very well-behaved. The younger brother is also very delicate and seems to be more shy than the older sister.
"You two sit here to roast the fire, and you can't disturb the young master." Hu Haiqiao arranged the two children to sit by the brazier and gave a serious reminder.
"I understand, father." The two children were very obedient and nodded in agreement.
But after sitting down, they were drooling at the braised pork on the low table.
Due to the oppression of the Tian Yao, this tavern cannot open most of the time. It can be seen that the family has been living a very hard life over the years.
Ye Xuan naturally noticed the eyes of the two children. He smiled and pushed the braised pork over and said, "Eat it. But you can't use your hands, use chopsticks."
The two children glanced at each other and immediately rushed to the table to get chopsticks.
Hu Haiqiao caught up, knocked off the hands of the two children, and cursed: "There is no rules, this is the young master's dish. I'll give you the roasted bacon on the brazier later, and each person will have a slice of it."
"Let them eat it. I'm not short of this little meat." Ye Xuan said.
Hu Haiqiao stopped caring about the two children and asked them to share the braised meat on the plate equally.
After a while, Hu Haiqiao asked, "Young Master, let these two children stay here, won't you disturb you?"
"fine."
Ye Xuan knew why Hu Haiqiao placed his two children here, because he knew that something big would happen tonight, and where he was was the safest place.
After nightfall, the oil lamps in the room were a little dim.
Ye Xuan took out a pearl and hung it on the lamp stand on the roof for lighting.
That night, the north city of Bibo City was particularly quiet, just like the calm before the storm, as if something was about to explode, making people so nervous that they couldn't breathe.
It has been a quarter of an hour since the last time the Night Owl's Dark Guard came to report.
A figure flashed in the room, and the Night Owl's Secret Guard came to report on time: "Young Master, the Heavenly Demon in the underground gathering venue began to conduct the ** ceremony, and the heads of the Heavenly Demons such as Jin Gudu participated in it personally. It is expected that the ** ceremony will end in half an hour, and a night attack will be launched afterwards."
After hearing the report, Ye Xuan turned over the charcoal with a stick and said, "Is Jin Gudu also a powerful Tian Yao warrior?"
According to the Heavenly Demon Clan's ritual, it is necessary to choose the most powerful Heavenly Demon warrior to perform the prey, in order to give birth to a powerful bloodline.
However, Jin Gudu is obviously not a powerful warrior, but is better at inciting the demons to cause trouble.
"Are Xu Changlin and the others ready to fight?" Ye Xuan asked instead.
"We have prepared for war. If an incident occurs tonight, Xu Changlin has two other captains, and will lead the iron cavalry in three ways to eliminate the heavenly demons." Ye Xiao's secret guard replied.
"Okay, go." Ye Xuan waved his hand and asked Ye Xiao's secret guard to retreat.
When Ye Xiao Dark Guard reported the situation, the two children of the Hu family kept staring at the sword technique secrets placed on the table.
Ye Xuan pushed the two secret books in front of them and asked with a smile: "There are two secrets of sword techniques here, one is the holy-level sword technique and the other is the basic sword technique of the mortal level. If you give it to you, which one would you choose?"
The two children thought for a while and pointed at the holy-level sword technique at the same time.
When Hu Haiqiao saw this, he came up and beat them on the back of his hands, and taught him a lesson: "I haven't practiced martial arts, and I can't practice Saint-level swordsmanship. This is called being too ambitious!"
Ye Xuan then asked, "Why choose this book?"
The younger brother said first: "Save it and wait until I have practiced the martial arts."
Ye Xuan looked at the little girl again and asked, "Where are you?"
"Sell it, exchange it for more martial arts secrets that we can practice." The little girl gave a different answer.
When Hu Haiqiao heard his daughter's answer, he didn't know what to say.
The answer sounds good, but it is actually very difficult to do, because ordinary people sell a secret book of Saint-level sword technique, which is no different from seeking death.
After hearing the answer, Ye Xuan did not comment, but just smiled.
The little girl asked curiously: "Young Master, which book would you choose?"
Ye Xuan pondered for a while before saying, "I should...want both."
