Chapter 137 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
As if to relieve the sadness of parting, two young people with still innocent innocence suddenly decided to play a game.
"Limited to one dollar."
"Can."
One Yuan is the energy that Fu Shi can utilize. This is also the power of Fu Shi. A wooden sword, the most basic heavy magic weapon, is one Yuan.
The two of them each showed their abilities and did not interfere with each other. After a while, Jiang Shenyi took a quick step forward and finished practicing the talisman. He got on the donkey and said: "Junior brother, don't be anxious. The senior brother takes the first step. I'll wait for you in front——"
As he spoke, the donkey's shadow flashed and he ran away ten times faster than before.
Tang Zhao's men were busy working, and he raised his head and called out: "Senior brother, do you know that sharpening a knife will not stop chopping wood?"
In the distance, Jiang Shenyi said distantly: "I know what it means to be a dead duck with a tough mouth!"
Tang Zhao smiled, Jiang Shenyi used the Acceleration Talisman, which was an intermediate talisman that was a variant of the primary talisman. It was a quick and easy one. He would not use such an ordinary talisman. He immediately finished practicing the two sets of talismans and stood up.
, led the donkey onto the road. The donkey gently lifted its hoof, and a glow of light shone under its feet! The donkey's hoof stepped forward lightly, as if it were stepping on the clouds, and it hit the ground hundreds of feet in an instant.
Symbol - Lift the clouds!
This is the sword technique of his Yanggu Sword, and it is also his unique talisman style. His glasses can convert all the sword techniques in the sword manual into talisman styles, and he can learn them directly. Although he can only look at four swords, but because of this
He has mastered dozens of unique talismans. His accumulation is not as rich as that of his senior brothers and sisters, but there are many unique talismans in his hands. As his learning deepens, he can also master sword techniques and sword postures.
Lifting the clouds and soaring, shrinking the earth to an inch, it's like a fairy magic, powerful and dazzling, this kind of talisman is what he needs.
After a while, the donkey stepped on the rays of light and floated in front of Jiang Shenyi. Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Brother, did you know that the ones who come after you will come first?"
Before Jiang Shenyi could reply, Tang Zhao took the lead and took the lead.
After surpassing Jiang Shenyi, Tang Zhao was not able to show off like this on the road, so he used a "refractive mirror" that he had made in advance to create a layer of tortuous light around him to block the eyes of ordinary people.
This is a talisman similar to a blinding method. It is not a unique talisman. It is also one of the intermediate talismans recorded in books. It is easy to use, but it is not clever. It covers the ears and eyes, so ordinary people cannot see it.
Anyone who has practiced Xuan Gong and has a high spirit can detect it, not to mention a heavy swordsman with strong inspiration. Even an ordinary person can see through it at a glance if he has a delusion weapon in his hand. But Tang Zhao was also unintentional in hiding it.
As for experts, it doesn't matter if they pass by each other and don't know each other.
Under the protection of Di Guang, Tang Zhao rode a donkey alone through the clouds. He saw no seniors in front of him and no classmates in the back. He was so proud that he became a sophomore. He thought: How can I ride a donkey like this with my temperament?
At that moment, he spun around on the donkey and rode it backwards.
This tastes right!
He was feeling very proud when he heard someone on the roadside say: "What kind of talismans does that boy who rides on the donkey use?"
Another person replied: "It's refraction on the outside, but you can't see it on the inside..."
Before he finished speaking, the green donkey had already gone away and no sound could be heard again.
Tang Zhao looked back and saw only two people, a man and a woman, standing on the roadside. Because he was going too fast, he couldn't see their faces clearly, but he vaguely felt they were young.
Ah, I was seen through by my colleagues.
If you can recognize the dioptric talisman at a glance and speak it preparedly, you are naturally a talisman sword master.
In this month and at this age, is it possible that we are also going to the Mid-Spring Talisman Society?
Since he is in Yunzhou, could he be from the Painted Bone Building?
Yunzhou is located in a remote area with very few swordsmen, and there are only two factions that can be named. To the east is Zhuoyu Villa, and to the west is Huagulou. Their strength is said to be about the same, but they happen to be one in the northeast of Yunzhou, and one in the southwest.
, are far apart and have never had much contact with each other.
It's just that if you want to go to Jianzhou from Huagulou, you should go directly south to Yuzhou. Going here can't be said to be a detour, it can only be said to be going in the opposite direction.
Isn’t it the Painted Bone Building?
Are there other swordsmith forces in Yunzhou?
Was he passing by?
The only one who can pass by Yunzhou is Liangzhou further north...
So there are swordsmiths in this barren land?
Yunzhou is already regarded as the frontier land of the Jin Dynasty, and Liangzhou is in doubt as to whether it can be regarded as the land of China. Beyond that, it is a completely barbaric land. The local frontier is not necessarily a frontier of force, but it is generally a cultural one.
A profession as profound and sophisticated as a frontier swordsmith is of course a part of culture, and it is the essence. The essence of literary talent naturally disdains the frontier.
At least in the list of swordsmith forces in various places that Tang Zhao memorized, there is no swordsmith force in Liangzhou. But that information was from four years ago.
Swordsmith forces rarely have large sects, and most of them follow the swordsmith himself. If a swordsmith succeeds, he can create a force on his own. If a swordsmith dies, the force may disappear.
There was indeed no swordsmith force in Liangzhou four years ago, so how could one know that one had not emerged in the past four years? Perhaps some swordsmith from the Central Plains went north alone to stand on his own?
According to the rules of the Talisman Association, forces without official swordsmiths can only send at most two young disciples to participate in the meeting. There is a man and a woman on the side of the road. They are also two people. They should be disciples of small forces.
Just like their Zhuoyu Villa.
If it's a new force, it shouldn't be Master's creditor, right?
Thinking like this, the road in front of me diverges, one side is going to Zhaocheng, and the other side is going south around the city.
There is no need to ask which way is the road to Zhaocheng. There is a red prohibition sign in the middle of the road, and there is a sword mark on the ground with a sword stuck in it.
This is a sign that the Prosecution Department has closed the road, and it is called "Yangshi Duantou Road".
There are no official guards after the banned card, but people with a little experience will not step in. Once you enter, it is not up to you whether to go to the world of heaven or the underworld.
Tang Zhao originally planned to walk on another road, but suddenly his eyes flashed and he saw someone walking on the road in Zhaocheng. He was vaguely an acquaintance. He tentatively called out: "Sister Mai?"
The person turned around after hearing the sound, but she was a tall and handsome woman. She looked at Tang Zhao's face first, probably because she thought it looked familiar, so she got closer to identify him and said, "Ah Zhao?"
Sure enough, it was Mai Qianhu, one of his comrades when he first entered the Demon Cave, and an old subordinate of Xing Ji. He was not very familiar with him at the time, but when we met a few years later, he only felt familiar and nostalgic, as if he was an old friend for many years.
This is meeting an old friend in a foreign land, right? One of the four great joys in life.
Mai Qianhu walked to the dead end road but did not cross it. He smiled and said: "It's really Ah Zhao. You've grown so tall. If it weren't for your unforgettable appearance, I wouldn't dare to recognize you. How about it? I've always been
How is it?"
Tang Zhao responded with a smile, got off the donkey, and saluted with the etiquette of a district inspector: "I have seen thousands of households in this humble position."
Mai Qianhu was stunned, his attitude was obviously different, he smiled even more happily, and said: "I forgot, you are our brother. Come on, come in."
Tang Zhao had the intention and did not refuse. He naturally crossed the forbidden line and said, "Qianhu is a swordsman now, right? Has he been promoted?"
Mai Qianhu was a swordsman when she was in the Demon Cave. She had already obtained her own sword, but she had not yet understood the heart of the sword. After a few years, her sword was already hanging on her waist, and she had naturally become a swordsman.
A swordsman will definitely not be ranked among the thousand households, at least...
Mai Qianhu smiled heartily and said: "When it comes to official positions, now I am the deputy envoy of the District Procuratorate of Zhaocheng. But don't call me that. You are not my subordinate. Call me Sister Mai."
The deputy envoy is the deputy of the garrison envoy, the second-in-command of the city's land inspection department, Peng Yiming's original position.
Tang Zhao saluted first, then called "Sister Mai." and asked curiously, "How come Sister Mai is so much prettier than before?"
This was not flattery on his part, he really felt that way. When he first saw Vice Ambassador Mai, she was not beautiful, but she was not particularly outstanding. When we met again a few years later, although her facial features had not changed much, she actually felt that Pingting was as beautiful as a peach and a plum blossom in full bloom.
, far better than before.
Deputy Mai smiled slightly and said: "Maybe it has something to do with the sword's will. Becoming a swordsman has changed a little bit." There was a sense of pride in her tone. She met an old friend in a foreign land, and her own strength increased, she was promoted to an official position, her appearance became more beautiful, and her scenery became more and more beautiful.
This is almost equivalent to returning home rich and powerful.
She asked again: "Remember that you went to Zhuoyu Villa, are you still there now? Have you become a Talisman Sword Master?"
Tang Zhao nodded and said: "That's right." He briefly introduced his current identity and the purpose of his trip, and also mentioned that he held the rank of eighth-grade casual member in the Prosecution Department.
Deputy Ambassador Mai praised: "It's okay, Ah Zhao. It's very difficult to be a Talisman Sword Master, and you didn't fall behind in the promotion. You are already in the eighth rank at your age, and those elites from the training camp can't compare. Xiao Si was so favored back then.
, you have just joined the job at your age."
Mentioning Si Liyu, Tang Zhao hurriedly inquired about his current situation. Deputy Ambassador Mai said: "I don't know. A year ago, when I was transferred, Xiao Si was recalled to the Yunzhou headquarters. It is said that he was selected.
The qualifications for swordsmanship, if you are lucky, you should become a swordsman."
So Si Liyu also embarked on the road of swordsman, Tang Zhao was happy, and chatted about other comrades in arms. Heyang parachuted a guard envoy, and Lao Peng was still the deputy envoy. There is no way, now this year
Strength is the most important thing. Even if you get the credit, the most you can mention is the salary. If you don't have that ability, you won't be able to reach that position.
As for Xing Ji, Deputy Ambassador Mai had not seen him for three years and was not as familiar with Tang Zhao. Tang Zhao told her that Xing Ji had been appointed as an inspector, but he seemed to have been busy with other things and had not taken up his post. His whereabouts were always elusive. He always
It would take many days to send a letter to someone, and it would take several months to receive a reply. The letter rarely mentioned Xing Ji's own situation. It could only be seen that he was doing something very important.
Deputy Ambassador Mai was also very emotional and said: "Back then, the guardian envoy had a maverick personality and everyone was a little uncomfortable with it. But now that I think about it, he is an outstanding guardian envoy. Much better than ordinary guardian envoys. It is not easy for people who work seriously.
"
She sighed quietly when she said this. Tang Zhao noticed that she seemed not to be happy getting along with the current governor, but he couldn't say much about matters within the officialdom.
Tang Zhao was thinking about asking the time when the Devil's Cave would come, and then he heard Deputy Ambassador Mai say: "When will you come back from that conference? Can you come back in forty days?"
