Liu Xing looked at the civet cat in front of him and remembered that he had thought about raising a cat when he was a child, but he got a very classic reply from his mother - you and the cat can only have one.
So who brought this civet cat to Sweetwater Town?
Recently, almost all NPCs who come to Sweetwater Town will bring a cat or dog with them. After all, dogs can watch the house and guard the door, and cats can catch mice. They are still very useful in the context of martial arts modules.
"Meow meow meow."
The civet cat nuzzled Liu Xing familiarly, looking very enthusiastic.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xing immediately made up his mind that if this civet cat had no owner, he would adopt it himself.
Although this possibility is not high, because this civet cat probably followed an NPC, and now it is wandering around with nothing to do, and then ran into its own room.
At this moment, Liu Xing saw an orange cat peeking its head by the window. After seeing it, the civet cat jumped directly onto the window and left with the orange cat.
Cihuahua cat and orange cat?
This pairing reminded Liu Xing of the Cat Master and Cat Boy in his dream. The character cards used by these two players were Orange Cat and Cihua Cat.
However, orange cats and civet cats are still very common cat breeds in the Xinlong Empire, so this should be just a coincidence, right?
It's a pity that my cat ran away like this.
Liu Xing shook his head and decided to find an acquaintance to adopt a kitten after dawn, so that he could add a bit of vitality to his home and catch mice by the way.
In "Liu Peng's" memory, every year someone would be bitten by a mouse while sleeping at night, and Liu Xing also remembered that he had heard from many channels, such as relatives and friends, magazines and novels, that someone had his ears bitten off by a mouse.
, scratched his face.
So it is still necessary to raise a cat now, because as the number of people in Sweetwater Town increases, the number of rats will also increase.
Because he went to bed earlier last night and the quality of his sleep after falling asleep was also very good, Liu Xing no longer thought of going back to sleep. Instead, he got up directly to wash up and prepare to see how Ge Jing was doing.
According to Xiaolou, Ge Jing hung a hammock in the woods, and then arranged with Ding Kun for a few players who stayed behind to live together. Of course, those players lived in tents. After all, although there were small animals in the woods,
They were all driven away by the wine gorilla, but there were still a lot of small insects of all kinds.
And after half a day of contact, Ge Jing has already established a good relationship with the players who stayed behind, because he is a very eloquent person, and he also wandered in the world for a while, so Ge Jing is still good at telling stories.
, can scare those players into a daze.
So far, Ge Jing has not done anything strange.
So after Liu Xing finished washing, he went to the cafeteria to get some breakfast and carried it into the woods in a bamboo basket.
Then, Liu Xing saw Ge Jing practicing martial arts.
One thing is that in "Liu Peng's" memory, Ge Jing had never gotten up early to practice martial arts.
Looking at Liu Xing who looked surprised, Ge Jing said sheepishly: "This martial art has been neglected for many years, and it's time to practice it. What's more, people from the Fox Hunting Sect are also targeting me now. I have to find a way.
Protect yourself."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Ge, just practice first, and come over for dinner after you finish practicing. And if you don't mind, can you teach these brothers of mine a few moves? They originally wanted to
I went to join various sects, but it was because of me that I gave up the idea temporarily."
"No problem, I will teach them a few moves later. As long as they can learn it seriously, it will be easy for them to join a certain sect in the future. Of course, the sects I am talking about here do not include those first-class sects."
Ge Jing said with a smile: "Those sects that have reached the first-class level have very high requirements for their disciples. Even if your talent is very high, you must meet some additional conditions before you can join the sect. Of course, if your talent reaches
If you have reached a very high level, then these additional conditions can be ignored; for example, Feihuo Castle, which is currently ranked among the top ten, has never recruited people with the surname Wang because of the poor relationship between its founder and a person named Wang.
Wang's people became apprentices, and it turned out that their latest generation of senior brothers was named Wang, because his talent was so outstanding that it was very likely that Feihuo Castle would reach a higher level in this year's martial arts competition and directly impact the martial arts rankings.
The top five, even the top three.”
Liu Xing has naturally heard of this little story about Flying Fire Castle. Of course, the point is that the martial arts and mental techniques of Flying Fire Castle are very interesting and seem a bit out of tune with other sects.
To put it simply, the secret skill of Flying Fire Castle is Flying Fire Meteor. To put it bluntly, it is a fireball technique! And other signature martial arts also use internal force to condense into flames to form fire knives, muskets and other forms, so
The disciples of Flying Fire Castle have extremely strong long-range combat capabilities, but if they really want to fight in close combat, they have almost no chance of winning in a confrontation of equal strength.
Therefore, Feihuo Castle has been among the top ten goalkeepers in the sect rankings for the past ten years. Although they want to go further, they have not found any good opportunities. After all, the disciples they recruit must have internal strength.
They have extremely strong talents, so they can only recruit a few disciples every year, and their talents in fists, feet and weapons are very average.
As a result, they met a young man named Wang. Not only did he have extraordinary talents in internal strength, he was able to summon a small fireball in just a few days, and he also had certain attainments in wielding swords and guns, so
Feihuo Castle could only make a decision that went against its ancestor.
Then Flying Fire Castle is really good, because if Flying Fire Castle used to train fire mages, then now there is an excellent magic swordsman, which makes up for the disadvantage of Flying Fire Castle in melee combat.
Therefore, in the past two years, a rumor has spread in Feihuo Castle, that is, the senior brother surnamed Wang is preparing to accept disciples, and his apprenticeship standards can lower the requirements for internal strength, but at least
You must have a certain talent in a certain weapon.
This means that Flying Fire Castle is preparing to open up a new genre.
Airbending and swordbending?
Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the Qi Zong and Jian Zong in "The Swordsman". They were originally members of the Huashan sect, but they ended up having conflicts because of their different directions in practicing martial arts. They both felt that their side could represent the real one.
There was a conflict between the Huashan faction and finally a fight.
So will this also happen to Flying Fire Castle?
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something, that is, there are some useful things at my house. Apeng, if you are free, please send someone to get them."
Ge Jing said seriously: "When I just left the sect, I thought about going to other sects to learn skills from other sects, but in the end I chose to give up. After all, I was expelled from the sect, so unless I
I had to go far away, otherwise the nearby sect would not be able to accept me as a disciple. So, I bought a set of bound books on introductory martial arts. Although these martial arts are relatively basic, they are still much more powerful than just beating them randomly.
, so Apeng, you can go back and bring back this set of bound volumes so that your brothers can lay a solid foundation."
"Oh, then I will arrange for someone to get the things later." Liu Xing nodded and said.
"Also, I have a weapons rack in my house, with eighteen kinds of weapons on it, so if you can move it, bring it over. This will make it easier for everyone to discover which aspect they are more talented in."
Ge Jing said with a smile: "Except for some special weapons, the entry threshold for most weapons is not high. As long as you practice diligently, you can master it well. Therefore, my former master said that before everyone learns the skills from a master,
I should first practice various weapons to see which weapon I am more comfortable with; then there is a box of wine in the kitchen, because I never cook at home, so I have transformed the kitchen into a storage
In the luggage room, the most abundant items in it are all kinds of wine, and those boxes contain my favorite and most expensive bottles of wine."
"Actually, we in Tianshui Town are also preparing to brew wine recently, and we will also use brand-new brewing technology and tools, so Brother Ge, you can look forward to it and give us some advice by the way, because we plan to use this drink as Tianshui Town
The new sign." Liu Xing said with a smile.
At this time, those players who stayed in the woods had already gotten up, so everyone gathered together to have breakfast.
"Leader, do we need to continue digging this hole today?"
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Keep digging, since you are idle anyway, go down and dig a few hoe if you have nothing to do. If you can dig something good, it will be great. If you can't dig it, it doesn't matter.
Just think of it as exercise.”
While talking, Liu Xing was also paying attention to Ge Jing's expression, and found that Ge Jing's expression was normal, but he was a little curious.
"By the way, I may have to go out for a trip these days, so if you have anything, just go directly to Shopkeeper Meng."
Liu Xing took a sip of water and said to Ge Jing: "Brother Ge, have you ever heard of Tieshan Village? If nothing else happens, I will go there."
Ge Jing thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Not only have I heard of this Tieshan Village, I have also been there once before! The reason why Tieshan Village is called this is because there is an iron mine near the village, but this iron mine
The ore in the mountain was quickly exhausted, so Tieshan Village also declined along with it. There should be few households left now. After all, before the mine was exhausted, it also brought a lot of benefits to the locals. Therefore,
Many villagers left with the miners."
"Oh, this means that there may not be many people in Tieshan Village now?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, Tieshan Village didn't have many residents to begin with. After all, there wasn't much land for farming in the deep mountains and old forests, and it was easy to encounter hard stubble like wild boars and bears when hunting. So at the beginning, Tieshan Village only had
There were dozens of households, and many people left scatteredly later. If the iron mine had not been discovered in the middle, it might have become history by now; I went to Tieshan Village a year ago, and the reason why I
I went because a friend was getting married. He was originally a villager in Tieshan Village and had left with the miners before. However, his grandparents were unable to leave their hometown, so they chose to stay, so he returned to Tieshan Village.
Marriage in a mountain village."
Ge Jing sighed and continued: "When I came to Tieshan Village, I found that there were only five households left in Tieshan Village, and they were all elderly people who had been farming in Tieshan Village over the years.
, and have never left, because although there is not much arable land in Tieshan Village, it is still easy to support these families; and before the iron ore was exhausted, the people in Tieshan Village took the opportunity to renovate their houses.
So the accommodation conditions are quite good, much better than the kennel at home, so I want to stay in Tieshan Village forever."
"However, I also discovered at that time that the remaining villagers were already old and frail, so in this year, some villagers may return to dust and dust... Of course, this is not important, it is important
There seems to be something wrong with that abandoned iron mine! My friend’s grandfather mentioned one thing, that is, in the year when the iron mine was just abandoned, he found a lot of new footprints near the iron mine, and the iron
The wooden door that originally sealed the mine was also damaged, so he suspected that someone had entered the iron mine, but this is quite normal, because iron ore is very profitable."
Having said this, Ge Jing smiled and said, "In the past few years in Heshan County, I have encountered many disputes related to iron ore. To put it bluntly, some unscrupulous guys want to steal the caravan's iron."
Mine, in their opinion, as long as they took away a piece of iron ore, it would be enough for them to live freely for several days. As a result, these guys were caught, hung up and beaten by the caravan guards, and I would need to take them away later.
Therefore, even if it is an abandoned iron mine, there will still be some unwilling people who want to go in and pick up the leaks, because as long as they can pick up a piece of iron ore, then this trip will be considered a sure profit. If they can get
If there are more, then this will be a huge profit!”
"But as a villager in Tieshan Village, my friend's grandfather knew that before the miners left, he carefully checked the situation in the mine and took away the fragmented iron ore, so these thoughts
Unless those who want to pick up a bargain are lucky enough to directly discover a new mineral vein, they will never get anything if they go in there. So over time, the number of new footprints near the iron mine has been significantly reduced, but villagers often look at it.
Go to the entrance of the abandoned iron mine and turn on the light."
