Chapter 335: The Careful Thoughts of the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal (Nearly 20,000 Words Super Cha
King Lenka of Shaz Kingdom led a group of Western Region coalition forces to formally declare war on the Anxi Army stationed in the Western Regions!
This battle started in the Fire Wheel Country.
Huolun Kingdom is an extremely important bridgehead for the Anxi Army to return to the Western Regions, and it is also Liu Lin's proud work.
If the Fire Wheel Country had not been captured quickly and neatly, the Anxi Army would certainly not have continued to advance westward.
But after taking this city-state, Liu Lin led the Western Region Allied Forces to capture several cities neatly, just like chopping melons and vegetables, butchering chickens and dogs.
For a time, it caused great shock among the countries in the Western Regions.
The leaders of the small countries of the Main Station faction died out like eggplants beaten by frost. Those who stood on the fence all turned to the Main Harmony faction.
Even King Lenka of Shaz Kingdom behaved obediently at that time.
But now it can be said that things are different from what they used to be.
After the main force of the Anxi Army was forced to withdraw eastward, its control over the Western Regions was greatly reduced.
Under such circumstances, the former warring faction was ready to take action, and even the fence-sitters turned to the warring faction one after another.
The countries in the Western Region have always been like this. If you are tough, they will be soft, and if you are soft, they will be hard.
It can be said that even if King Lenka of the Shaz Kingdom does not step forward, sooner or later other kings will step forward to take the lead.
It's just that Lenka jumped out early, so the kings of the countries just followed his lead.
Of course, this also depends on how effective this first battle is.
If the fight goes well, of course there will be no problem, but if the first battle is not effective, I am afraid that everyone will have a question mark in their minds and consider whether to continue to surround the King of Shaz.
Of course Lenka knows this very well, so he has to show his style no matter what in this first battle.
"Send my order, the siege team is ready to charge, and the archers are ready to carry out fire suppression."
The Huolun Kingdom is a relatively large type among the countries in the Western Region.
Its city walls are also relatively tall.
To attack such a country, you must have extremely powerful stormtroopers and death squads.
If everyone waits for others to take action and stands still, then the battle will be unwinnable.
Although Lenka felt distressed, he still sent out his direct troops to charge.
There is no other way. If he doesn't stand up and act like this, his authority will be greatly reduced. I'm afraid not many kings of small countries will believe him in the future.
In order to maintain his image and dominance, Lenka had to do this.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
A low horn sounded, which was the signal to launch a charge.
The vanguard army of the Shaz Kingdom rushed towards the city of the Fire Wheel Kingdom without fear of death.
As the vanguard, they usually enjoy the best of everything in the entire Shaz Kingdom.
As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army and use it for a moment.
Since they enjoy the best things on weekdays, it is natural that they should be at the forefront when war begins.
King Lenka of Shaz Kingdom admired the tide offensive launched by his direct army with satisfaction.
Who else can have such a hearty and powerful momentum besides the army of Shaz?
Tsk tsk tsk, let the old, weak, sick and disabled in the Anxi Army take a good look today to see who is the real master of the Western Regions.
"General, it's bad. These idiots really launched an attack."
At the top of Huolun City, the soldiers reported anxiously to Wang Shuo.
As Liu Lin's trusted lieutenant, Wang Shuo personally led an army of 20,000 to stay in the Western Regions while Liu Lin led the main force of the Anxi Army back to Chang'an.
The main army returns to support.
Only when Liu Lin led his troops to join them did the Anxi Army have the strength to continue expanding.
And if we only rely on the 20,000 people in Wang Shuo's hands, it will not be easy to barely hold on to the situation.
Want to expand again?
That is simply a foolish dream.
Wang Shuo knew this clearly in his heart, so he had no thoughts of expansion at all.
But even so, the countries in the Western Regions were not satisfied.
It seems that they want to completely drive the Anxi Army out of the Western Regions.
Wang Shuo had mixed feelings for a while.
Judging from the current situation, it is really not easy for the Anxi Army.
It is obviously unrealistic for them to rely on 20,000 people to hold the entire defense line.
All they can do is hold on to a few important strongholds.
Whether we can hold on now depends on how effective this battle is.
"Don't panic, I will order the whole army to gather, and the archers will prepare to shoot. Please give them a drink."
Wang Shuo has been fighting with Liu Lin for many years. It can be said that he has experienced hundreds of battles and has never seen any big scenes.
He did not panic at all, but ordered his own soldiers to pass on the order.
At this time, as the commander-in-chief, you must be confident, because the commander-in-chief's words and deeds will directly affect the feelings of the entire army.
If the general is strong, the entire army will become strong.
And if the general is like an eggplant beaten by frost, the lieutenants and even the entire army will be lifeless and unable to raise any energy.
This battle is undoubtedly very important for Wang Shuo and the 20,000 soldiers of the Anxi Army under his command.
If they can hold on, they can still maintain the Anxi Army's territory in the Western Region.
If they cannot hold on, I am afraid that the Anxi Army will once again completely withdraw from the Western Region.
This was a huge humiliation to the Anxi Army and a secondary injury.
Therefore, Wang Shuo must hold on to the end no matter what.
He firmly believed that with his commanding ability and the tenacious spirit of the Anxi army officers, it was not impossible to defend Huolun City.
"Got the order!"
The soldiers seemed to feel the momentum in their general's words, and for a moment they were full of energy.
Today, the entire Anxi Army is like a grasshopper on a rope. Everyone must hug together for warmth. No one can survive without the entire army.
A shower of arrows rained down on the Western Region Allied Forces, and the first to be affected was the vanguard army of Shaz.
But they were well protected by armor.
This is also the privilege and benefit of the vanguard army.
All of them were wearing heavy armor, and every inch of their bodies was well protected.
Ordinary arrows can't hurt them at all, not even scratching them.
"Break open, open their city gate for me!"
"Go, go, go, don't hesitate at all, open the city gate for me!"
What the vanguard army wants is momentum. As long as it shows momentum, it can scare its opponents.
When two armies meet, the brave one wins. The word "brave" is very important to the army.
The vanguard army of the Shaz Kingdom started a fierce attack while holding the crashed wood and braving the rain of arrows.
The city gate of Fire Wheel Kingdom was in danger under their attack, swaying as if it might be rushed open at any time.
Wang Shuo's expression changed in an instant.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you smash the rolling stones and trees? Why don't you just smash them to death?"
"Got the order!"
The soldiers quickly went to deliver the order.
Rolling stone and wood are the most important equipment for defending the city, and they are also an extremely scarce resource.
Although its lethality is high, it is prone to shortages.
Once a shortage occurs, it is basically impossible to make up for it in a short time.
Even demolishing a house and removing the beams takes time, and the most lacking thing during the battle is time.
How can you find time to demolish the house and remove the beams under such circumstances?
So unless everything can be arranged in advance, it is basically impossible to cope with it temporarily.
But at this moment, the Anxi Army obviously has no time to worry about these things. They must stop the Western Region rebels from crashing into the city gate in time.
Once the city gate is really knocked open, the consequences will be disastrous.
No one can take on such a huge responsibility.
Therefore, as long as the soldiers of the Anxi Army have one breath, they will not relax.
They will try their best to smash down the rolling logs and stones in their hands, and give these Western bastards a lesson.
Those armor-clad vanguards of the Shaz Kingdom were banging against the city gates, but they didn't know that the god of death was already waving at them.
"Boom."
When the first stone the size of a millstone fell from the sky and smashed several soldiers of the Shaz Vanguard Army into a pulp, they realized the danger.
"Quick, stay away!"
The soldiers of the Shaz Vanguard Army quickly put down their battering rams and immediately hid at a safe distance.
For them, this is very important.
Although the armor can protect them from arrows, it can't do anything against rolling stones.
If they are hit by it, they will instantly turn into a pile of flesh just like the robe they died in.
The huge impact made everyone gasp.
Such a terrible situation was beyond everyone's imagination.
In their impression, the Anxi Army was a group of timid people. They never imagined that such a powerful force would explode in this battle.
What prompted all this?
Could it be because they were forced into a desperate situation?
The Anxi Army is indeed in a desperate situation now, and they are facing tremendous pressure.
Under such pressure, no one can withstand it for long.
However, the Anxi Army instead exploded with astonishing strength, something that King Lenka of the Shaz Kingdom never expected.
Lenka's face turned pale, but he fired the bow without turning back. At this moment, he must not let go.
If he fails in this first battle, his status as leader of the alliance will be in jeopardy.
Everyone may question his leadership status, and by then it will be too late.
So no matter how difficult it was at this moment, he had to hold on, even if his teeth were broken, he still had to swallow it.
"Hold it to me and send more men to charge. Don't be afraid. Their bows and arrows are limited. After they are used up, they can only stare."
King Lenka's words are correct to a certain extent.
Bows, arrows, rolling stones, and wood are indeed highly consumable items and are consumed very quickly.
If it is not replenished at the first time, there will definitely be delays in keeping up.
Now it depends on whether he is willing to use his life to fill it.
Not necessarily all of the soldiers who died were Shaz soldiers, but most of them must have been.
Because he wanted to show some momentum and determination to other coalition soldiers.
Only in this way can we win the respect of the coalition forces.
It's just a pity that the vanguard troops of the Shaz Kingdom must bravely charge at this time.
After all, this was an order from His Majesty the King, and they had no choice.
"Kill, brothers, don't be cowardly. The Anxi army is a bunch of rats. They are at the end of their war effort and may fail at any time. We will give them a hard education and tell them who is the master of the Western Region."
"Yes, brothers, let's kill. This is the time to show our strength."
"Kill, kill, kill, kill one and earn one, kill two and earn a pair."
This time, the Shaz vanguard army killed a carbine, which greatly surprised the soldiers of the Anxi army on the top of the city.
Originally, they thought that the killings caused by rolling logs and stones had caused all the troops from the Western Regions to retreat.
But who would have thought that the resilience of these guys would be so strong, that they would adjust after a short period of time, and then rush back to kill the entire Anxi Army by surprise.
Wang Shuo was also shocked.
He never expected such a result.
"Hiss, it's really hateful."
"Keep smashing and don't stop until you smash them away."
Momentum is the most important thing right now.
If the Anxi Army can maintain its basic momentum, then there is still hope of defending the city, but if this momentum is not bitten and let out, it will be all over.
The tragic situation on the battlefield far exceeded Wang Shuo and Lenka's imagination.
Although the two sides did not really come to blows, the fight started from the first moment.
Control of the city is something that both sides must fight for no matter what.
In addition, the control of the city gate is also crucial.
If the Western Region Allied Forces led by Lenka can gain control of one of the city gates or the city head, they will have an advantage in this battle.
And if not.
They will inevitably fail.
But there is no doubt that this is a tug-of-war. No one can defeat the opponent in a short time and can only rely on resilience.
Lenka was determined not to withdraw his troops no matter what happened.
This time he was completely at odds with the Anxi Army.
We must capture Fire Wheel City no matter what.
As the sky grows dark, the Western Region Allied Forces withdraw their troops for the time being.
But Wang Shuo, the general of the Anxi Army on top of the city, knew very well that this was just the beginning.
Tomorrow morning, the Western Region Allied Forces will definitely repeat their old tricks. By then, Wang Shuo must ensure that the Anxi Army still has a full desire to fight.
This is a battle that tests morale and resilience.
Therefore, Wang Shuo must let the soldiers have a good rest tonight. Because only in this way can they have sufficient combat power to participate in the battle the next day.
Of course, proper morale boosting is indispensable.
This can unite the soldiers up and down to the greatest extent.
As long as they work together to deal with these bastards in a short period of time, it's no problem.
Of course, Wang Shuo knew very well that with the current strength and territory controlled by the Anxi Army in the Western Regions, it could easily be isolated by the Western Region Allied Forces.
Once the Western Region Allied Forces isolates the several cities controlled by the Anxi Army, they will not be able to reinforce each other and will be trapped in the isolated city.
Therefore, if Liu Lin, the protector of the capital, cannot lead reinforcements to assist in time, it will only be a matter of time before these cities are destroyed. Even if the soldiers can hold on, the food in the city will eventually be exhausted.
But Wang Shuo couldn't think about this at this moment, he had to let the soldiers carry it to the end.
Zhao Xun has realized it after some advice from the mountain chief in the past few days.
He no longer dwells on the legend and form of Satan, but instead devotes his energy to improving himself.
In order to make himself stronger, Zhao Xun asked another mentor, Taoist Qinglian, to teach him the most powerful Taoist technique - the Secret of Immortality.
Just hearing the name, Zhao Xun thought that this so-called Immortality Technique would make great achievements in improving the life span of practitioners.
This is not the case.
The greatest effect of the Immortality Technique is to improve the practitioner's ability to resist blows.
In other words, it makes practitioners more resistant to beatings.
After finding out this aspect, Zhao Xun was dumbfounded.
Taoist Priest Qinglian treated him really well, and even wanted to teach him such a unique skill.
This is how worried I am about him. I have to let him learn this anti-beating technique so that I can feel at ease a little bit.
However, Zhao Xun finally agreed to learn.
The reason is very simple, don't be overwhelmed by having too many skills.
In fact, Zhao Xun has experienced this benefit a long time ago.
If he had not practiced the three practices from the beginning, the entire practice system would not have improved so quickly.
And it is precisely because he insisted on the three cultivations from the beginning. With the blessing of the major systems of magic, Zhao Xun's cultivation path was very smooth, and the most important thing was that he had no shortcomings.
This is really crucial for a practitioner, for a person who aspires to become a high-level practitioner.
Generally speaking, practitioners have shortcomings, which will restrict their development to a considerable extent.
Because as long as there are shortcomings, practitioners will be forced to make choices.
Especially when facing off against an opponent, even the slightest deviation can be fatal.
But if there are no shortcomings, practitioners have nothing to fear.
Therefore, Zhao Xun has really reaped the bonus of the third cultivation, and now he naturally wants to maximize this bonus.
"Teacher, what is the use of this longevity secret besides resisting beatings?"
Although he has firmly established this belief, Zhao Xun still hopes to gain something more.
After all, this can be regarded as a top-level cultivation technique. It can't be top-notch only in terms of being able to withstand beatings, right?
If this is the case, it would be too humble.
"Well, actually, there is another very powerful thing about the Immortality Technique, that is, it can sense nearby threats. Once a high-level practitioner shows murderous intent, you will be able to sense it immediately."
Taoist Master Qinglian smiled and said: "My dear disciple, this is considered a top-notch skill. Once you master this, it is basically impossible for you to be attacked by the enemy."
Good guy.
Zhao Xun finally understood it now.
The so-called Immortality Technique is a skill that reaches the extreme.
His mentor Wu Quanyi was so meticulous in his skills. No wonder he was still able to thrive in the city of Chang'an where there were so many masters even though he was a second-level master.
If anyone meets him, they will weigh it.
After all, the mentor can know the opponent's thoughts and position in advance. As the saying goes, I have predicted your prediction.
This alone makes you invincible.
Withstand beatings and risk warnings, this longevity secret really has many benefits.
At this moment, Zhao Xun was certain that it was necessary for him to learn this longevity secret.
"Teacher, let's get started, I'm ready."
"Um"
Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, let's get started."
He took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "The core of the longevity technique is to stay focused. Only by maintaining concentration can you learn the essence of this technique to the maximum extent. Of course, concentration alone is not enough.
You must also be able to realize the Tao."
"Teacher, can we be more honest? I don't understand what you are saying."
Zhao Xun only felt that it was a little cloudy and foggy.
What is enlightenment?
What is Tao?
This is really quite mysterious.
It is understandable for Zhao Xun to deal with outsiders' teachers' mysterious remarks, but there is no need to deal with such nonsense when dealing with his own disciples.
For a moment, Taoist Priest Qinglian's face became a little confused.
He coughed and said: "My good disciple, actually there is no fixed answer to this enlightenment. What is Tao? Tao can be the law of all things in the world, or it can be the original intention of people. Specifically, Tao
It can change at any time.”
"Well"
Zhao Xun seemed to understand some of it, but not everything.
"So, mentor, disciple, should I go inward or outward?"
This point is very critical, because if he goes inward, what Zhao Xun has to keep is his own heart.
If he goes outward, what Zhao Xun wants to explore is the changes in external things.
The two are completely opposite.
"look at yourself."
Taoist Qinglian gave an answer that left Zhao Xun speechless.
Ouch, can't you give some suggestions?
It's a bit too difficult for me to do multiple choice questions.
Zhao Xun didn't know what to say for a while.
"I seem to want to keep my heart."
After much hesitation, Zhao Xun made a difficult decision.
The reason why this decision is difficult is because Zhao Xun is actually very wild at heart.
But if he had to make a choice, Zhao Xun still felt that it was more important to stick to one's heart.
"If you stick to your original intention, you have to have something that you stick to all the time, and then focus on this thing. Because you value this thing, you don't want to get hurt. This is the basis for your practice of longevity."
Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi was talking eloquently, and Zhao Xun also listened very seriously.
He knew that his teacher's words were the summary of many years of experience, and they could be said to be jade words.
As long as he listens carefully, there will definitely be no harm done.
"Well"
"Now you first think about something you value most, and then slowly and silently say it in your heart several times."
Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi spoke very seriously, and Zhao Xun also listened very carefully.
The things I value most.
what is it then?
Zhao Xun was really hard to make a decision for a while.
Fame and fortune?
Of course it's not these.
Zhao Xun can't say that he doesn't care about fame and wealth, let alone talk nonsense about treating fame and wealth like dirt.
Most people who can say such things are doing it to attract attention.
But fame and fortune are indeed not what he cares about most.
what is that?
Writing a book and talking about it?
I have to say that for a former liberal arts dog, Zhao Xun still has his own insistence on writing books.
As the saying goes, the passing geese leave their voices, and the passing people leave their names.
If a person can write a classic in his lifetime and pass it on forever, it is undoubtedly worthy of joy and celebration. But is this really what Zhao Xun cherishes most?
Obviously not.
Zhao Xun thought about it and felt that what he cherished most was actually his family, that is, logging tired.
Zhao Xun is a person who attaches great importance to his family.
There is no doubt that family is everything to him.
If he could make a choice, he would sacrifice everything for his family.
He will also give everything he has to protect his family.
Therefore, what Zhao Xun truly values is his family.
Of course, this family is not blood relatives in the narrow sense, but family in the broad sense.
The senior brothers and sisters of the academy, the mountain chief, Qinglian Taoist priest, Wangcai, Jia Xingwen, Jia eldest brother, and the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan are all people whom Zhao Xun regards as family members.
In other words, Zhao Xun's family is a big family in a broad sense.
In order to protect these family members, Zhao Xun can fight tooth and nail, he can fight desperately, and he can give everything for his family.
So Zhao Xun already had the answer in his heart at this moment.
He spread his hands and said confidently: "Teacher, I already have the answer. What I value most is my family. So what should I do next?"
Taoist Priest Qinglian nodded slightly and said: "Very good, since what you cherish most is your family, then you must keep silently protecting your family in your heart. It is not easy to do this, but I believe you can Made it happen.”
"Uh, teacher, how many times do I have to recite it? Is there a number? Otherwise, I have to keep reciting it."
Zhao Xun was speechless. Why did this longevity formula look so unreliable?
If it looked like this, he really doubted whether he should learn this Lao Shizi's longevity secret.
"There is no definite number. The way of all things in this world is actually changing all the time, so there is no definite number."
The next words of Taoist Qinglian completely made Zhao Xun collapse.
"So, good disciple, what you have to do next is to control your emotions as much as possible, keep the whole person in a stable state as much as possible, and then keep saying this sentence. You have to protect your family. , because you value them.”
"."
Zhao Xun has never been so helpless as now.
He admitted that at this moment he was completely speechless by Taoist Priest Qinglian.
But I have no choice, I have to walk down the path I chose even with tears in my eyes.
"Okay, how long do I have to practice?"
"Take a break every hour or so. You can't rest during this period."
"."
Seeing Taoist Priest Qinglian turn around and leave in a graceful manner, Zhao Xun felt extremely desperate in his heart.
But he obviously didn't have any good ideas.
I can only bite the bullet and start the first stage of practicing this longevity secret. Everything is difficult at the beginning. I just hope I can get a good start.
Facts have proved that the cultivation of this longevity secret is much more difficult than Zhao Xun imagined.
Zhao Xun never thought that the process of practicing the Secret of Immortality would be so difficult.
My mentor Wu Quanyi clearly said that this longevity secret is very simple. Liar, my mentor is really a complete liar.
Zhao Xun was about to cry, but he finally got time to rest. The mountain leader even asked him to make pearl milk tea.
This is too difficult.
He was squeezed by the two masters in turn, and he really had no time for himself at all.
But Zhao Xun had to carry his tired body to make milk tea even if he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He dare not disobey the mountain chief's orders.
Besides, he really needed a change of environment.
During the process of making milk tea, he can completely relax himself and put himself in an absolutely relaxing environment.
This is an important point.
"Oh, oh, brother Xun, hug me."
The moment Zhao Xun walked out of the bamboo building, the girl Zhao Danshu rushed over from nowhere and rushed directly into Zhao Xun's arms.
Zhao Xun was hit all over by this little guy, and almost staggered due to the hit without any prior preparation.
Good guy, this little girl has gained a lot of fat on her body.
What a little meat girl!
Zhao Danshu obviously didn't know that her eldest brother was complaining about her weight, otherwise she would have turned against her immediately.
Zhao Xun rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, you are always so elusive. Brother, I can't handle it."
"Brother, my father bullies me. He doesn't let me eat sweets, saying that eating too much sweets will damage my teeth. But my teeth obviously grow very well. Look."
The little girl opened her mouth, revealing her white teeth.
Zhao Xun looked at the row of big white teeth and said with a wry smile: "Your teeth are indeed good. But what dad said is correct. Eating too much sugar will indeed damage your teeth."
"But I obviously haven't eaten much candy, so why not just eat a few at a time?"
Zhao Danshu had a pair of big, watery eyes that could not stop Zhao Xun.
His immunity to his own girl is indeed zero.
As long as the girl acted like a baby in front of Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun would be completely helpless.
He can be very tough with outsiders, showing off his true qualities as a tough guy.
But at home, especially in front of his little sister, Zhao Xun instantly transformed into a warm-hearted big brother.
"Well, a few candies are certainly not too much, but can you guarantee that you will only eat a few candies at a time?"
"certainly."
The little loli Zhao Danshu swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then said: "One, two, three, I promise to only eat three candies at most at one time. That's okay, brother?"
Zhao Danshu stared at Zhao Xun with her big Kazilan eyes, causing Zhao Xun to lose his resistance in an instant.
"Not much, three candies are not much. Let's do this. If daddy doesn't let you eat candies from now on, just run to big brother and he will give you candies."
Zhao Xun paused for a moment, then slammed his head and said: "By the way, besides Brother Tang, there are better things here. Do you want to come and have a taste?"
"What is it."
The little lolita Zhao Danshu tilted her head to reveal her cute dimples.
Zhao Xun was melted instantly.
"Milk tea. Recently, big brother has made a new thing called pearl milk tea. It tastes really good. Big brother happens to be making milk tea now. Follow me. I will give you the first cup after I make it.
drink."
"Wow, Brother Xun is great."
The little lolita Zhao Danshu clapped her hands excitedly.
"This is really great."
"Well, then come with me."
Zhao Xun felt very at ease in the academy environment. He knew that no one would harm his sister's safety.
But outside, he definitely wouldn't worry about letting the little guy run around.
When the world is in chaos and people's hearts are scattered, all kinds of strange people will always appear.
So it's best to make sure the little guy is within his sight.
No one can resist milk tea, especially girls.
Although Zhao Danshu is young, of course she is also a girl.
If she is a girl, she conforms to this rule.
As long as Zhao Danshu has tasted a cup of milk tea, she will definitely be impressed by its delicious taste. Then she will follow Zhao Xun in a hurry. When Zhao Xun tells her to go east, she will never go west.
"Wow, Brother Xun, what is added to this milk tea?"
"This is a pearl. Of course it's not a pearl in the real sense. It also has a name called taro balls."
Zhao Xun added the taro balls into the milk tea and began to stir, while saying with great interest: "The texture of the taro balls is very silky and chewy. You will definitely fall in love with it after you taste it."
Zhao Xun has heard a saying before that there are only two kinds of milk tea in the world, one is called pearl milk tea, and the other is called other milk tea.
Although it sounds biased, it is enough to show that the influence of pearl milk tea is much greater than other milk teas.
Many times, what you want for bubble milk tea is the taste of taro balls.
It can be said that the taste of pearl milk tea with taro balls has risen to a new level.
"I really want to drink it."
The little loli's eyes were as big as cow bells, not to mention how excited she was.
"Well, wait a moment, you can drink the milk tea after brother mixes it."
Zhao Xun looked at the little Loli with eyes full of endearment.
He knew that the little Lolita was a little glutton. Although she did not have the appreciation of food as a top foodie like Shan Zhang, she still had the ability to judge the quality of food to a certain extent.
Zhao Xun's milk tea is a gold medal milk tea, and everyone who has tried it says it's good.
Soon Zhao Xun prepared a cup of milk tea and immediately handed it to the girl.
"Try it, the milk tea is a little hot and it will burn your mouth when you drink it. Be careful."
Zhao Xun reminded with great concern.
"Well, I understand, brother Xun."
The little guy is obviously very talented at drinking milk tea. Even though it is his first time to drink milk tea, he still knows how to drink it in small sips rather than gulping it down in one gulp.
The difference between the two is still obvious.
Drinking it in large gulps is very bold and refreshing, but there is also a problem, that is, it is easy to burn your mouth, and it is drunk too quickly and ends before you can taste the delicious taste.
But it’s different if you drink it in small sips, you can taste it slowly. Zhao Xun even feels that sometimes drinking milk tea is the same as drinking tea.
When drinking tea, take a small sip and then taste it slowly.
Good things should be tasted slowly. If you drink them too quickly, they will lose their taste.
"It tastes good, it tastes really good."
The little loli jumped up excitedly after just one taste.
She had never tasted anything so delicious in her life, and she was a little carried away for a moment.
"Well, if it tastes good, drink more."
Sometimes Zhao Xun did feel that his father, Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan, was a little too harsh in his discipline of his younger sister Zhao Danshu.
After all, she is a girl, so that's pretty much it.
And when it comes to sugar intake, less is not always better.
Sometimes proper sugar intake is good for body growth and development.
But the elderly are sometimes like this. They always feel that they have eaten more salt than you have eaten, and they have crossed more bridges than you have walked.
In terms of stubbornness, old people can be quite helpless sometimes.
But Zhao Xun didn't intend to cause any head-on conflict with his father Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan, so he secretly fed his sister Zhao Danshu some milk tea.
Feeding is done quietly without causing any impact.
"Brother, can you make me milk tea every day from now on?"
"Well, isn't it too often every day?"
Zhao Xun thought to himself that the little loli was still good at it. When he saw Zhao Xun doting on her, he immediately went to great lengths to talk about the conditions.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with drinking milk tea more frequently, and one cup a day is a normal amount.
But Zhao Xun still knew not to give too much to the little Lolita at the beginning, otherwise there would be no room for negotiation of conditions in the future.
"Brother Xun, how much do you think is appropriate to drink?"
The little Loli tilted her head half way, and Zhao Xun felt like she was about to melt for a moment.
"Uh, how about one drink every two days?"
He really doesn't have much resistance to girls.
"Two days is fine, but I have to have a big cup."
"How big?"
"So big!"
The little Loli made a gesture, and Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay."
Carrying several cups of freshly made milk tea, Zhao Xun left the bamboo building and headed to the mountain chief's residence.
To be honest, he thinks milk tea can really heal people sometimes.
Not only can it satisfy the hearts of girls, but even men cannot resist the temptation of milk tea.
"Shan Zhang, today's limited edition milk tea has been prepared. Would you like to try it?"
Zhao Xun thought to himself that now he was really no different from a milk tea vendor, all he had to do was say, "Don't miss it if you pass by."
"Well, dear disciple, today's milk tea is ready? Have you added double the amount of taro balls as required by my master?"
"Of course. When can I not meet your request, Chief Shan?"
Zhao Xun chuckled and said, "I added double the amount of taro balls as per your request. It tastes really good."
Zhao Xun handed the milk tea into the hands of the mountain leader, and then said harmoniously: "As for sugar, it is 70% sugar. This is good for your health and the sweetness will not be reduced too much."
"Um"
Shan Zhang took a sip of the milk tea first, and then swallowed it with satisfaction.
Zhao Xun was extremely satisfied when he saw that the mountain leader could have such an expression of enjoyment.
"Well, I will also study other types of milk tea next to ensure that you will be satisfied."
Zhao Xun knows the importance of doing what he likes.
Since the mountain chief likes to drink milk tea, Zhao Xun naturally wants to make milk tea in a different way to make him happy.
As long as the mountain chief is happy, the academy will be stable, and as long as the academy is stable, Zhao Xun's life will be full of happiness.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, happiness is really a very simple thing. It does not require so many materials and does not require so much external attention.
What is needed is for the whole family to forge ahead.
This may sound like a difficult thing, but when you actually do it, you will find that it is not as difficult as you think.
At least that's how it seems to Zhao Xun.
"Well, Xiao Qi-Two, can you tell me the name of the milk tea you are going to make next?"
"This. There are red bean milk tea, velvet milk tea, chocolate milk tea, poplar nectar, and cheese milk tea."
Zhao Xun listed all the milk tea flavors he knew, and even wanted to create some new varieties by permuting and combining them.
It can be said that except for the salted egg yolk milk tea, Zhao Xun has already mentioned all the styles of milk tea.
Tsk tsk tsk, it really makes people drool.
"Master, I'm really looking forward to having so many milk teas. You've done a good job. Practicing requires a balance between work and rest, and you shouldn't overexert yourself. I think you can make milk tea while practicing, as long as
When you are tired from practicing, you can make a cup of milk tea, which will be beneficial to your practice."
Good guy, when Zhao Xun heard this, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The mountain manager was exploiting him as cheap labor.
But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
After all, the mountain chief is the guardian of the academy.
The old man is working hard to guard the academy alone.
As juniors, Zhao Xun and others can give timely feedback to the mountain leader, so that they can make the mountain leader and his elders feel comfortable physically and mentally. There is no problem.
If the mountain chief feels at ease, Zhao Xun and others will have a good life.
Otherwise, if the mountain chief becomes arrogant, there will be many variables in the academy.
"Okay, no problem. Disciple, please follow the instructions of the mountain leader."
"By the way, I heard that you are practicing the Art of Immortality recently?"
Damn it, the mountain chief’s information is really well-informed.
Zhao Xun only needs one day to practice the Secret of Immortality. Does this old man know this?
"Reporting to the Chief, my disciple has indeed been practicing the Immortality Technique recently, and the results so far are pretty good."
Zhao Xun spread his hands very frankly.
"Well, the Immortality Technique is a very good technique. If you can learn the essence, it will be very good for your self-protection. But there is one thing I would like to remind you, and that is that you must strictly control the process of practicing the Immortality Technique.
You must not let your thoughts become extreme, let alone allow extreme opinions to dominate. Once this happens, the situation may get out of control."
The mountain chief's words undoubtedly made Zhao Xun's heart skip a beat.
From what Taoist Qinglian said, it seems that this situation will not happen.
But what the mountain chief said clearly meant that practicing the Secret of Immortality might lead you to become possessed.
Is it because the two have different understandings of the secret of longevity?
Or is there something wrong somewhere else?
Zhao Xun didn't know how to explain this problem for a while.
But since the chief of the mountain mentioned it, the chief of the mountain naturally has his reasons.
Zhao Xun knew that the mountain chief would never lie to him.
"Okay, Chief Shan, then I will pay more attention to it according to your advice."
Of course Zhao Xun doesn't want to go crazy.
When practicing the exercises, you can do it quickly or slowly.
Haste makes waste, and it is acceptable to slow down.
After leaving the mountain chief's residence, Zhao Xun was walking out when he met the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan.
"Well, your second senior sister asked me to send you a message, asking you to go to her place when you have time."
Second Senior Sister? What is going on?
In Zhao Xun's impression, the second senior sister Liu Yingying rarely asked Zhao Xun to talk alone.
Even if there is such a situation, usually the second senior sister comes directly to Zhao Xun. What happened today that she asked the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan to do it for her?
Zhao Xun was completely confused.
What exactly is this situation?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Zhao Xun felt that it was necessary to consider the situation carefully.
"Um, did Second Senior Sister say what happened?"
Zhao Xun asked tentatively.
"That's not the case."
Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Swordsman, spread his hands to express that he did not know anything about it.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, good guy, this guy is very tight-lipped. It seems like he can't figure out the reason.
At present, I can only hope to ask Second Senior Sister in person after meeting her.
Zhao Xun knew that this might also be an option, so he swallowed and nodded: "Okay, I will go find the Second Senior Sister in a moment."
But when Zhao Xun came to the bamboo house of the second senior sister Liu Yingying, he confirmed that the second senior sister was alone.
It seems that Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy, knew in advance to avoid it.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that this was really strange, and he didn’t know what kind of medicine the second senior sister was selling in the gourd.
He must ask clearly in person today.
Otherwise, it would be really painful to be surrounded by clouds and mountains all the time.
However, Zhao Xun knocked on the door, and immediately the second senior sister Liu Yingying's voice sounded like a silver bell.
"Come in, little junior brother."
"Well"
Zhao Xun straightened his clothes a little, then walked into the bamboo building.
The second senior sister lives on the second floor, and the first floor is where sundries are stored.
Zhao Xun didn't think much and walked upstairs on the bamboo steps.
But who would have thought that as soon as he went upstairs, he saw the second senior sister standing in front of him.
Zhao Xun was not prepared at all and was really taken aback.
He subconsciously stepped back and almost fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, the second senior sister reached out and pulled him, so Zhao Xun didn't fall down in embarrassment.
After calming down his frightened mood, Zhao Xun was surprised to find tears on the face of the second senior sister.
Obviously, the second senior sister had just cried.
This is how the same thing?
Zhao Xun felt that the situation was becoming more and more confusing.
What exactly happened?
Zhao Xun felt that he was just Monk Zhang Er and was confused.
"Second Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Junior brother, I haven't had any sex these days."
"Well"
Zhao Xun couldn't accept this.
He forced himself to smile and said: "Second Senior Sister, this matter is not related to Yao Jianxian, right?"
"Of course it has something to do with him!"
Second senior sister Liu Yingying said with a stern face: "I originally thought he was an honest man, but who knew he would have a tryst with another woman after marriage."
"Ah, this can't be done."
Although Zhao Xun did not spend too long with Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, but as the second senior sister said, Zhao Xun also felt that Yao Yan was an honest person.
Moreover, Yao Yan has not gotten married for so many years just to wait for his second senior sister.
The two finally fell in love and got married. Yao Jianxian went out to have sex?
This is unreasonable.
Although it is said that men eat from the bowl and look at the pot, even though domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.
However, Second Senior Sister and Yao Jianxian have only been married for a month or two, and the honeymoon period has not even passed. How could it be that Yao Jianxian would cheat on her at this time, right?
"How is it impossible? I have evidence."
Seeing that Zhao Xun didn't believe it, the second senior sister Liu Yingying put her hands on her hips and said: "Did you know that he often sneaks out in the middle of the night recently. He often waits until I am asleep before sneaking out of bed. If there is no ghost in his heart, how can he do such weird things?
"
"Well, this is indeed a bit weird."
Zhao Xun has to say that this move of Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan is a bit uncharacteristic.
He stayed up late at night and sneaked out of bed. What on earth did Yao Jianxian want to do?
It's not like he's really going on a tryst with another woman.
If Yao Yan is really this kind of person, then not even Second Senior Sister Liu Yingying, not even Zhao Xun will let Yao Yan go.
"But don't worry, Second Senior Sister. Let's restore what happened first, and then I will help you analyze it carefully to see what exactly happened."
After all, Zhao Xun had been a bad person before, and his long period of investigating cases had allowed him to develop a set of rigorous logic.
He will not jump to conclusions before things are restored.
Generally speaking, men who cheat have great psychological pressure, so that they have the motivation to cheat.
Of course, that kind of Neptune scumbags are not excluded, but these are the minority after all.
Zhao Xun felt that Yao Jianxian was probably not cheating, but that the second senior sister was being suspicious and overthinking.
But since Second Senior Sister has entrusted him with the investigation, Zhao Xun has to show an attitude no matter what, so as not to waste Second Senior Sister's trust in him.
After all, he and his second senior sister were in the same class, so he still had to help.
But since Second Senior Sister suspected that Yao Jianxian had cheated on her after marriage, why did she ask Yao Jianxian to send a message to invite Zhao Xun?
This cool operation really confused Zhao Xun completely.
Maybe Second Senior Sister's brain circuit is indeed different from normal people.
However, Zhao Xun is not the time to pay attention to these things now. The most important thing he needs to do now is to investigate where Yao Jianxian has been during this time and who he has met.
Only by stringing together these clues can we finally figure out what happened.
"Well, so junior brother, you suspect that Yao Jianxian is having sex outside?"
"No, no, no, I didn't say that. It was just Second Senior Sister's unilateral suspicion, so he entrusted me to investigate and see what the truth of the matter is. Third Senior Brother, you can't talk nonsense. If the person who spreads this word is Chuan
Going out will have a great impact on my image."
"Well"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan scratched his head and said: "That's not the case. In fact, I think Yao Jianxian has been a little abnormal recently. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't think in that direction. But after hearing what you said, I really think that
There is a possibility that Yao Jianxian could steal something."
Well.
Zhao Xun thought to himself, was he here to ask the right person?
After all, the third senior brother is also an experienced academy leader and a handsome old man. He should be very experienced in this, right?
"Ahem, Third Senior Brother, have you discovered anything?"
"This is it"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then continued: "Junior brother, I recently discovered that Yao Jianxian always leaves the academy at every turn, and I don't know where he goes. You said he has been in the academy for so many years, so frequently
It was my first time to leave the academy. Anyway, I have never seen it before. There must be a monster when something goes wrong. I think there must be something ulterior behind it. Of course, as for what it is, I don’t know.
"
Zhao Xun was listening attentively and felt that he could extract some useful information from it.
But who would have thought that the third senior brother would finally say something about loneliness.
Since he didn't know what was going on, why did he say he had noses and eyes?
If he were the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, Yao Yan would be furious after hearing this.
"Um, third senior brother, you said that Yao Jianxian has been away from the academy a lot recently. Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is. The academy's nodule ban will not prevent academy disciples from entering, nor will it prevent second-grade practitioners or above. But do you know the difference?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan raised his chin proudly and asked proudly.
"Well, please give me some advice from Third Senior Brother."
Zhao Xun really doesn't know the difference.
In his opinion, this should be exactly the same.
"This is actually very simple. There are no restrictions on the entry and exit of academy disciples. However, if second-level practitioners and above enter and exit the academy, although the restrictions are not very restrictive, their entry and exit records will still be recorded."
Hiss, upon hearing this, Zhao Xun gasped almost instinctively.
If it's really like what Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said, then the academy's ban is too smart, right?
The mountain chief is really a god, he can actually impose such a restriction.
So much so that Zhao Xun doubted whether the large formation in Chang'an City had similar functions.
"So Third Senior Brother went to see the records left behind by the academy."
"certainly."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan nodded and said: "Maintaining the normal use of the academy's ban is one of my responsibilities. Since I have this responsibility, I must be responsible to the end."
Long Qingquan paused for a moment, then continued: "I took a closer look at the time Yao Jianxian entered and exited the academy. It was basically midnight and dawn. He usually went out in the middle of the night and came back before dawn. This time is too weird.
The second senior sister suspects that he has a woman outside, I think it is very possible. It is completely consistent from the timeline."
Long Qingquan spread his hands and said.
Well.
"So Third Senior Brother, you mean that Yao Jianxian is a master of time management?"
"What?"
Long Qingquan was obviously confused by Zhao Xun's words.
What time management guru is not a time management guru?
Why is the junior brother so weird? He doesn't understand what he is saying at all.
"Junior brother, what are you talking about?"
"Uh, Third Senior Brother, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Of course, Zhao Xun would not risk his life to explain to the third senior brother what a time management master is, and he estimated that the third senior brother would probably not understand it either.
In this case, Zhao Xun should not waste his efforts.
It's better to focus more energy on tracing.
"I think Yao Jianxian's time in and out of the academy is indeed very strange. But it would be unfair to conclude that he was stealing sex outside based on this alone. This is not in line with my habit of investigating cases. We bad people are very particular about presenting the facts.
Truth, everything speaks for itself with evidence. Any conjecture without evidence is unreasonable."
Zhao Xun paused for a moment, deliberately leaving some time for his third senior brother Long Qingquan to digest.
"Well, what I heard from my junior brother does make sense. But where are you going to start investigating next?"
"This is it"
Zhao Xun scratched his head and said: "Actually, I haven't thought it through completely. So the best choice now is to follow Yao Jianxian once and see where he went. If I can follow Yao Jianxian to the places he has been, actually
The truth is not far away from being revealed."
Long Qingquan nodded and said: "It makes sense. Junior Brother's words make sense. Let's just follow your routine and follow Yao Jianxian."
Um?
What do you mean, the third senior brother also wants to join in?
Oh my god, why is Third Senior Brother so curious?
Does this person have the innate Bagua attribute, and has the Bagua attribute been fully utilized?
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
You might say that Third Senior Brother should do it, but actually Third Senior Brother doesn’t do much.
But is it really okay for a grown man to gossip like this all day long?
No wonder Third Senior Brother is still single after all this time. This is not unreasonable.
However, since the third senior brother had said everything to this extent, it was hard for Zhao Xun to refuse.
He still has to give this face to his third senior brother.
Now that you have decided to follow up, you still need to make sufficient preparations.
Zhao Xun has never fought an unprepared battle, because this will only make the situation worse and full of uncertainty.
Moreover, Zhulin Yao Yan is a cultivator at the pinnacle of the first level after all, so he will definitely be able to easily sense that someone is following him.
Therefore, in order to ensure that they are not discovered, Zhao Xun and third senior brother Long Qingquan must make necessary disguises.
"That Third Senior Brother, how do you think we can avoid Yao Jianxian discovering that we are tracking him?"
As the saying goes, old ginger is still spicy.
After all, the third senior brother Long Qingquan is older than Zhao Xun, and his cultivation level and experience are far higher than Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun still had to be obedient when it was time to be obedient.
"Well, it's actually very simple."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan seemed to feel the respect from Zhao Xun, and said proudly: "Little junior brother, you know, the main way for practitioners to sense their opponents is the aura they exude. If it is the aura of an acquaintance, then
It is easier to judge. As long as they smell this breath, they can judge who is nearby. Not only can they judge the number of people, but also the status. So they will decide whether to fight based on this."
Well.
After hearing what Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said, Zhao Xun understood instantly.
"So if we want to follow Yao Jianxian without being discovered by him, the best way is to actively block the aura emanating from our bodies. Only in this way, we will not be discovered by Yao Jianxian. Because of the aura emanating from our bodies
The anger was so strong that he didn't need to think much to conclude that it was us who were following him."
Well.
Zhao Xun nodded subconsciously and said: "It's just Third Senior Brother, is that enough? Yao Jianxian won't be so careless, right?"
"Shielding Haoran's energy is only the first step. Next, we need to keep a safe distance from Yao Yan. As long as the distance between us is far enough, Yao Yan will not be able to detect it."
"So what is this safe distance?"
"At least a hundred steps. It would be best if there are two hundred steps."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan spoke eloquently: "In addition to their outstanding ability to sense the outside atmosphere, top practitioners also have extremely strong hearing. They can hear extremely small sounds, such as the sound of dewdrops dripping on the ground, so
If we didn't keep a relatively long distance, it would be easy to be discovered."
"Well"
Zhao Xun couldn't help but gasped when he heard this.
This is too scary.
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that they will be able to detect it once they get close to the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan?
"But we still have to get close to Yao Jianxian, what should we do then?"
"This is simple. If we are only temporarily close, we can transform into other objects. For example, a rabbit, a cat, a dog or whatever. But if we want to be close for a long time, it may be a bit difficult. Because generally wild animals
Animals are all afraid of people and will not stay close to a person for a long time."
Um.
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that what Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said made sense.
Sometimes it is true that animals are afraid of people because people will give them unknown blows.
Animals that are not afraid of people are either raised from childhood, or they are transformed by monsters or practitioners.
Yao Jianxian is such a well-informed person, he can figure out a rough idea just by taking a closer look.
Therefore, Zhao Xun felt that instead of letting Yao Jianxian see the flaw, it would be better to transform into a small animal and get closer at the critical moment.
"Okay, then let's follow him from a distance first, and then we'll get closer to see what's going on after we're sure the time has come."
Zhao Xun quickly finalized a specific plan with his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
In his opinion, this plan is still very implementable.
As long as they follow the plan strictly and don't have too many other ideas at the last minute, nothing should go wrong.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, when Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said this, Zhao Xun actually had some vague expectations for the next tracking.
Good guy, Yao Jianxian is offended.
We are also forced to do so.
The day for tracking has finally been set, tonight.
As the saying goes, it is better to choose a day than to hit it.
Zhao Xun discussed it with his third senior brother, Long Qingquan, and felt that instead of struggling with it like this, it would be better to just make a one-time deal.
Although a one-shot deal sounds a bit silly, it can actually solve a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Zhao Xun is not a mother-in-law person either, so he doesn't want to waste time on these details.
It was night, Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan put on a complete set of night clothes and quietly lurked outside the bamboo building where the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan and his second senior sister were staying.
According to the information from Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan usually sneaks out of the Bamboo House around midnight.
So they laid an ambush in the bamboo forest behind the bamboo house in advance, so that they could sense it immediately whenever Yao Jianxian showed up.
Well, not to mention that he hadn't worn night clothes for so long, Zhao Xun was really uncomfortable with wearing them all of a sudden.
Everywhere felt a little tight, as if someone was deliberately pulling on his clothes.
Of course, Zhao Xun knew very well that this was simply because he had gained weight.
I have to say that the academy is a good place to raise people.
Before Zhao Xun lived in the academy, he was a thin and thin young man.
But since I moved to the college principal, I have gained a lot of weight.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Zhao Xun’s eating habits.
No one can resist eating milk tea and supper every day.
Zhao Xun is born with a physique that makes him fat easily. If he doesn’t gain weight, who will gain weight?
Of course, there are some things that you just know in your heart and there is no need to say them out loud.
After all, in the eyes of the Academy Headmaster and all the senior brothers and sisters, Zhao Xun is still the sweet little cutie.
As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Losing weight? Doesn’t exist.
It is impossible for Zhao Xun to lose weight in this life, and his current figure is just right.
After some self-hypnosis, Zhao Xun calmed down his anger.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan also did the same.
After the two men restrained their auras, Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan could no longer determine their identities based on the auras they emitted.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
They also need to maintain a reasonable and safe distance from the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan.
Because mainly because they were a little closer, Yao Yan could tell through the sound that someone was nearby.
It may not be so straightforward to determine the identity, but Yao Yan is likely to change his planned plan next.
This is not what Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan want to see.
"coming."
Seeing someone walking out of the bamboo building, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan immediately warned him.
"Well"
Zhao Xun nodded and subconsciously tightened his stomach.
From now on they can't talk.
Any sound is likely to be noticed!
Therefore, they can only communicate through tacit understanding and ideas.
If you want to avoid being discovered by Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, this is the best way.
Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan hid in the depths of the bamboo forest very vigilantly, waiting for Yao Yan to completely walk out of the bamboo building and walk more than a hundred steps along the bluestone path before they cautiously got up and followed him.
It is extremely easy for a practitioner to find cover.
Because they can move behind a big rock or a tree in a very short time.
This way, no one usually notices them.
As long as they don't commit suicide, there won't usually be any big problems.
Of course, there are still some special situations.
For example, the person they are following has a strong sixth sense and senses something. At this time, they only need to look back to figure out what happened.
But this situation is rare after all, and in many cases the person being followed will not have such a sensitive reaction.
At least so far, Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan has not discovered the existence of Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan.
But Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan still followed carefully, for fear of being noticed.
Yao Yan was indeed walking towards the mountain gate of the academy.
After confirming this, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan smiled slightly at Zhao Xun, as if to say: Look, Junior Brother, what I said is right. Everything is under my control.
Of course, Zhao Xun would not make a judgment so easily.
But it is said that after Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, left the academy gate, he jumped into the depths of the forest like a mandrill.
Zhao Xun and his third senior brother Long Qingquan were stunned for a moment, but finally decided to follow them.
There is no other way. Since they have decided to follow, no matter how complicated and difficult the situation is, they must follow it to the end.
If they give up at this time, all their previous efforts will be in vain, and they still have no way to explain and explain to the second senior sister.
After all, it was the Second Senior Sister who had given full authority to Zhao Xun to investigate the matter. Zhao Xun had to find out a result no matter what and explain it to the Second Senior Sister.
Both of them are also high-level practitioners. It is not difficult to keep up with the Bamboo Forest Swordsman Yao Yan, especially when Yao Jianxian does not turn on the sprint mode.
The forest was very dark, and the moonlight and starlight shone down, giving the two of them a little light to illuminate themselves in the darkness.
This point is crucial.
Because the two of them were following Yao Yan, even the Haoran Qi was restrained and blocked, and it was even more impossible to force out the Haoran Qi for illumination.
This approach is no different from seeking death. It is equivalent to reaching out to say hello to Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal: Come on, come on, we are here, come here quickly.
In this way, even a fool will know what Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan are doing.
Therefore, they must not allow even a trace of true energy to be exposed, and must ensure that absolutely zero true energy is leaked.
In addition, they must try their best to be as stealthy as possible without making any noise.
This is not something that can be done easily, but Zhao Xun and the others will try their best to do it.
The reason is for no other reason than to give an explanation to Second Senior Sister.
If the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal really went out to steal sex in the middle of the night, then even Zhao Xun would not spare him.
But if Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy, has something hidden, then Zhao Xun has reason to clear his name.
Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy, shuttled briskly through the forest, like a tireless sika deer.
He was walking very fast, and all he could hear was the swishing sound of leaves and branches passing over him.
The sound was so obvious that Yao Yan didn't take it to heart at all.
But it seemed that he heard other sounds besides these sounds.
Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan frowned instinctively, raised his ears and listened carefully.
There seems to be some creature nearby.
Is it a beast?
The ecological environment in Zhongnan Mountain is very good, so even if there are wild animals, it is normal.
Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, stopped and listened carefully before continuing to walk forward.
Soon he came to a heart-shaped pond.
The Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy bent down to collect a lotus flower in the pond. This lotus flower was pure and pure, which was very obviously different from ordinary lotus flowers.
Even people with no experience know that this lotus flower can be regarded as a beauty among beauty and is very precious.
Of course Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan in the distance also took in this scene.
The stone hanging in Zhao Xun's heart could finally fall to the ground at this moment.
Good guy, just say it, Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan is not the kind of person who would go out to pick flowers after marriage.
To put it bluntly, the Bamboo Forest Swordsman Yao Yan tried his best to pursue the second senior sister Liu Yingying, but now he has finally succeeded in chasing the second senior sister Liu Yingying. At this time, he goes out to look for women, isn't it stupid?
Zhao Xun felt that Yao Jianxian would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
What he saw with his own eyes tonight confirmed his judgment.
Zhao Xun raised his eyebrows proudly at his third senior brother, Long Qingquan. For a moment, Long Qingquan was extremely embarrassed.
Facts have proved that his judgment and guess were completely wrong, while junior brother Zhao Xun's guess was extremely correct.
Fortunately, they didn't have to say anything now, otherwise he could imagine that his junior brother would ridicule him greatly.
Long Qingquan couldn't stand this stimulation.
So staying silent now is the best option.
Although Zhao Xun had seen Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, leave the academy in the middle of the night and go into the deep forest of Zhongnan Mountain, he was still very curious about Yao Yan's purpose.
What was the lotus flower he collected used for?
So Zhao Xun was in no hurry to leave.
Now that it's here, he naturally has to take a closer look.
See if there are any disadvantages.
He wanted to know what Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy, would do next.
I saw Yao Yan put the collected lotus flowers into a pocket, and then exhaled.
Immediately, a golden light emerged from the pocket.
Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan were stunned as they watched from a distance.
What does this Yao Jianxian operation mean?
They can't understand it at all.
Unfortunately, they couldn't come forward to ask at this time, which would have confirmed that they had been following Yao Yan.
So it seems we can only wait until we return to the academy to investigate.
But overall, the harvest tonight was still great. Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan were both very satisfied.
There was no talking all night, and Zhao Xun got up alone to make breakfast the next morning.
Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner.
This is the dietary policy that Zhao Xun has always adhered to.
Of course, at some point this policy will undergo some fine-tuning.
For example, when you are really hungry late at night, you can make some midnight snacks and drink a cup of milk tea to refresh yourself.
But most of the time you should still maintain basic dietary rules.
Regular eating habits can help a person control their weight.
Especially after wearing night clothes for tracking last night, Zhao Xun became even more convinced of this point of view.
He is indeed a little too fat now.
Being overweight brings a series of problems, not only body problems, but also the loss of self-confidence caused by body shape problems.
In the past, Zhao Xun was such a confident, sunny and happy young man.
But since becoming overweight, Zhao Xun has become a little constrained in all aspects.
We absolutely cannot continue like this.
Zhao Xun knew very well that if he allowed the situation to develop, it would be a very unfavorable signal for him.
Obviously, we are in a period where we feel very juvenile. If a series of problems arise due to weight problems, it would undoubtedly be a big loss.
Therefore, Zhao Xun must restrain his desires as much as possible and try to eat less or no meals at night in the future.
Shut up and open your legs.
These are the two most critical elements for weight loss.
As a practitioner, Zhao Xun must exercise a lot every day, so as long as he keeps his mouth shut, it won't be a big problem if he wants to lose weight.
Well, a good day to lose weight starts with breakfast.
Only when you have a good breakfast will you be full of energy throughout the day and won't be hungry looking for something to eat.
Otherwise, a vicious cycle is likely to occur. The hungrier you feel, the more you will look for food everywhere.
If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhao Xun was humming a little tune while making breakfast.
The first thing he makes is a double-fried egg.
Compared with one-sided omelette, double-sided omelette requires more skillful techniques. If there is even the slightest mistake, the entire omelette will collapse instantly.
For a person like Zhao Xun who attaches great importance to the sense of ceremony and dishes, this is unacceptable under any circumstances.
So he will pay great attention to every detail of the omelette to ensure that there will be no big problems.
At some point, third senior brother Long Qingquan touched Zhao Xun's back and gave him a big shock.
Yes, that's right.
Zhao Xun was sure that his third senior brother Long Qing gave him a shock rather than a surprise.
In an instant, Zhao Xun was numb.
"Hey, Third Senior Brother, come on, can you make a little noise? No one can handle this."
"Oh, junior brother, why are you so fussy? I didn't do anything too extreme, I just said hello to you, and I scared you."
Damn it, the third senior brother said it lightly, but Zhao Xun felt extremely frightened.
Imagine that you are cooking a dish in a delicious and serious way. At this time, a person suddenly appears behind you, and then he pats your shoulder fiercely, just because he wants to give you a surprise.
No one else would be able to bear it.
"Third Senior Brother, let's not play with this again. To be honest, this is obviously more of a shock than a surprise."
"Okay, okay. Then I'll remember it and won't make such a joke to you again."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan felt very bored and spread his hands.
"Huh? Junior brother, you are making breakfast. These omelettes look good."
Well.
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
"Third Senior Brother, you must be hungry too. Let's do this. I'll make you a breakfast too. Omelette and butter toast, this tastes absolutely amazing."
"Okay, then I have to give it a try."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan rubbed his palms together repeatedly, his eyes full of expectation.
"By the way, Third Senior Brother, what are we going to do later? Is it possible to ask Yao Jianxian in person?"
Zhao Xun did not forget to make breakfast while thinking about the next countermeasures.
In Zhao Xun's view, necessary planning is still necessary.
If you don't care about anything, just go ahead.
Maybe a blind cat can meet a dead mouse.
But the greater possibility is that the head will be bruised and bloody.
Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan is not stupid, but whenever they show the slightest flaw, Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan will definitely notice it.
It is obviously not an easy task to figure out all this without anyone noticing.
"Of course we can't ask Yao Yan directly."
Long Qingquan rolled his eyes and said, "This is too stupid. I, Long Qingquan, would definitely not do this."
After taking a deep breath and pausing for a while, Long Qingquan continued: "I think, maybe we can make some insinuations next. That is to approach Yao Yan for another reason, and then accidentally discover the lotus he hid,
Let me mention a few more words seemingly unintentionally, and see if I can find out why he left the academy late at night to pick lotus flowers."
There is no doubt that the lotus collected by Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal, is not an ordinary lotus, but has a special function.
As for what this special function is, Zhao Xun and Long Qingquan still don’t know yet.
But they have already reached this point in their exploration, and they must understand what is behind it.
It would be too uncomfortable if the general was stuck here.
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that the plan proposed by the third senior brother Long Qingquan was generally feasible.
He nodded and said: "Okay, then we will do as Third Senior Brother said. But I think we still have to act more naturally and not let Yao Jianxian see any flaws."
Zhao Xun's character is still very cautious.
It's better to be cautious about this kind of thing than to make mistakes.
Otherwise, it is easy to hurt your feelings.
"That's natural. Let's not talk about it for now. Junior brother, it's time to turn over your toast bread. I can smell the burnt smell."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan frowned and said.
"Uh, sorry, I've been busy talking to you about Yao Jianxian, and I forgot to turn over."
Zhao Xun quickly turned over the slightly battered side with a shovel, and sure enough he saw a large burnt black area on the toast.
But fortunately, the problem is not too big, I can still eat it, but the price is a bit different.
But they are all academy brothers, so they shouldn't care about these details, right?
Zhao Xun smiled at the third senior brother and said, "Maybe this toast will have a different flavor if you make it this way."
