It was past nine o'clock in the afternoon, and the song and dance street in Shichang City was still lively, even more lively than during the day. The sound of silk and bamboo, singing and chanting, lingered in the silent night sky. Rich young men and official officials were also enjoying the scene.
Tiangong dance music is a great news, but in the corner of the city, most of the civilian merchants have already gone to bed. Looking down from the air at this huge city that can accommodate a population of six million households, one has to sigh that it is indeed the first city in Cangluo.
, although more than 20 million people live here, it does not appear chaotic. The houses are arranged in an orderly manner. The single-story houses are arranged like tofu blocks with the word "tian", and the multi-story buildings are arranged with the word "田".
"The characters are arranged in a row, and the long streets and alleys intersect with each other, which can be said to be in all directions. From this, we can infer that the person who designed this house and block must be a well-educated person. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build such an orderly and convenient urban streetscape.
The tall city wall of Shichang City is three to four feet high. At night, an appropriate amount of high-gloss lamp oil will be put into the brazier on the wooden support on the city wall. After it is lit, no one within four to five feet can escape, and there are also fire pits between the city battlements.
Some lighting lamps that can reach three feet away from the city wall will be appropriately placed to illuminate the appearance under the city wall. In addition to a wall guard three feet away from the city wall, there is also a patrol team of more than ten people.
, patrolling the city wall in circles, firstly to prevent the city wall guards from being lazy and dozing off, and secondly, to prevent bold thieves from trying their luck here.
Although the defense level of the city wall is very high, it is still not enough for a skilled high-level knight. The tall man looked at the defense of the city wall from a distance, then found several flaws, and then added these
Comparing several flaws in his mind, he quickly found the one that was easiest to break through, so he took advantage of the shelter of the night and the lack of lighting to sneak to a shadow under the base of the city wall.
For ordinary people, it is naturally impossible to climb the city wall without ladders or ropes, but if it is a famous knight, it is completely different. The tall man bends down with his knees slightly bent, and jumps up suddenly.
In one fell swoop, he jumped one or two feet high. At the same time, he used the "Gecko Skill" to tightly attach his limbs and body to the vertical wall, and then used his limbs to climb up like a gecko. Although the speed was not as fast as that of ordinary people walking,
After all, ordinary people cannot walk on vertical walls. The tall man quickly arrived at the city wall. Before he climbed onto the city wall, he cautiously exposed half of his head and scanned the surroundings with his eyes. As expected, the lighting here was insufficient.
, and the city wall guards were secretly dozing off, so the tall man immediately climbed onto the city wall. Before the patrol came, he ran into the city not far from the two city wall guards. When he came to the edge of the city wall, he found the nearest man.
The alley is about six or seven feet away from here. The tall man leaps high from the city wall. The tall man in the night suit blends into the night again and performs the "Light Body Technique" in the air. His body is like a kite.
Sliding into the alley not far away, the two secret sentry guards under the city wall did not notice anyone flying overhead, and only heard small movements like birds flying by.
The tall man was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Changcheng's defense was nothing more than this. Even though he was happy, he still kept a low profile and walked quickly along the alley. He walked quickly for a long time.
When it was time to drink tea, I realized that I was being followed! The tall man suddenly slowed down and listened carefully to the sounds behind me. As expected, the person who was following me also slowed down immediately, but it was only at this second that
At any time, the tall man could tell that there were footsteps nearby that did not belong to him. In this way, the two people walked forward unhurriedly, one after the other. When the tall man passed a house, he naturally turned around and entered.
In an alley, he immediately used Qinggong to jump to the roof, using the deep night to try to cover his whereabouts. Using many roofs and courtyard walls as footholds, he quickly ran towards the distance. At this time, the tall man already knew that his whereabouts were exposed.
It is probably difficult to leave the city. Now there is only one way to escape, that is, you must rush to the downtown street, take off your night suit before entering the downtown street, pretend to be an ordinary person and sneak into the downtown street.
The large number of people can easily confuse the pursuer's sight to escape. Just like that, the tall man quickly ran towards the busy street in the distance. At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was an evil wind behind him. He instinctively dodged to one side, and the next second a diamond shot came out.
The Yan Dart flew past him, and then three or four more Ling Yan Darts flew towards him. In order to dodge the enemy's long-distance attacks, the tall man needed to direct his attention behind him to observe the hidden weapons sent by the enemy.
, and had to use his body skills to avoid hidden weapons, which naturally affected his running speed. At this moment, the tall man noticed that the pursuer behind him had arrived less than five feet away from him, and he knew that he could not escape like this.
The tall man simply pulled out the knight's sword from his waist, suddenly turned around and slashed at the shoulder and neck of the pursuer behind him. The pursuer immediately noticed his intention and also drew out the official wolf-tooth knife from his waist.
Blocking the incoming knight's sword, the two of them fought together.
[Source world weapon spectrum]
1. Official Wolf Tooth Knife (excellent quality): the overall length is two feet six inches, the blade length is two feet one inch and two minutes, the width is one inch and five minutes, and the weight is one pound, three taels and two cents. It is a handy weapon for warriors in the world, with both attack power and damage.
Very good, only a highly skilled weapon forger can create it.
2. Lingyan dart (excellent quality): It is shaped like a flying swallow, weighs less than two taels, has average attack but good damage, and can cause significant damage to undefended enemies.
【Detailed explanation】
The higher the quality of the equipment, the stronger its corresponding attributes will be (attack, defense, damage, etc.), but the performance of attributes is largely limited by the user's own practice, and some of the techniques used will also seriously affect the equipment.
Actual combat effect.
The equipment quality is arranged from low to high: inferior, ordinary, excellent, fine, legendary, epic, legend, and artifact.
The tall man used his body skills to immediately show his level of cultivation, the first and eighth level of the knight.
At the same time, a washbasin-sized 'Xia' grew larger and smaller, and then melted into the tall man's chest.
When the pursuer looked at it, he secretly sighed, "My practice is not good." Then he also used his body skills to show his level of cultivation, which was the ninth level of the warrior.
At the same time, the hands glowed with a light red light.
【Detailed explanation】
The level of cultivation is the basic reference value for judging combat effectiveness. Normally, there is a gap of one or two between 'stages', and the outcome is difficult to predict. However, in cross-stage combat, it is very easy for combat effectiveness to be crushed because of the level.
Every improvement in the character means a sharp increase in combat effectiveness. As the basic attributes, attributes such as "Jing Qi Shen" will have a similar "generation" difference, and the most important point is that the learning of all advanced "skills" requires corresponding
Level support. In addition, if you have high-quality equipment, the increase in level will increase the combat effectiveness even more exaggeratedly.
The cultivation order from low to high is: primary level, first level, second level, third level, fourth level, fifth level, sixth level, seventh level, eighth level, ninth level.
In addition, if one reaches the "tenth stage" of practice, he will advance to the "one stage" and return to "nothing" at the same time.
The two started a close-quarters battle on the roof. The tall man was wielding a knight's waist knife, and his moves were wide open and combined, with slashing as the main attack method. The pursuer used the wolf-tooth knife to defend, retreating while fighting to delay time.
He was busy slashing left and right but was parried by the opponent's weapon. In desperation, the tall man suddenly jumped up on the spot and slashed forward with the knight's sword. This was to use the inertia of falling to increase the instant attack power of the slash.
The pursuer saw that the force of the knife was very strong, but he was also very confident in his own strength, so he raised the wolf-tooth knife sideways, grabbed the back of the knife head with his other hand, slightly bent his knees to increase the buffer, and the next second
The two weapons collided heavily, making a harsh metal collision sound, which was particularly loud in the quiet night. The tall man saw the opportunity and raised his right leg and kicked out violently. The pursuer hurriedly used his body skills to dodge.
He couldn't dodge and was scratched by the tall man's toe, and suddenly felt obvious pain in his abdomen. However, this level of injury alone could not make the pursuer give up the fight, but the pursuer pretended that he could not bear the pain and covered his abdomen with his hands.
When the tall man saw this, he thought that the opponent had given up the fight, but he also knew that this was the enemy's territory and could not fight for a long time, so he wanted to turn around and escape. The moment the tall man turned around, the pursuer suddenly threw two bullets from his hand.
Lingyan dart, the tall man heard the sound of the hidden weapon cutting through the air, and knew something was wrong. He hurriedly used his body skills to dodge, but he only escaped the attack of one Lingyan dart. The tall man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.
He was injured by a hidden weapon. Although this level of injury is not fatal, his combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced and his ability to escape will be greatly affected after being injured. The tall man put his index finger and middle finger together and applied appropriate force.
Point on the two acupuncture points on your chest. The moment your fingers touch the acupoints on your body, you can seem to see a light blue light starting from the acupoints and going straight to the injured area on your back along the winding veins. This is Jianghu.
The famous acupuncture technique in China is very powerful. It can hurt the enemy, restrict movement, and provide first aid to oneself. The tall man just used acupoint technique to stop bleeding for himself, and then gritted his teeth to pierce the Lingyan Dart into his back.
He pulled it out and threw it away, then used Qing Kung again to escape far away. The pursuer took out the signal arrow from his waist, unscrewed the arrow cap, and blew on the arrow. The arrow immediately spontaneously ignited and was fired the next second.
Going out, with a scream, the arrow suddenly exploded when it reached a height of ten feet. A red fire appeared in the air, and then a big "net" written in Cangluo script appeared, which remained in the air for a long time and could not be dispersed.
Go, and the nearby Jingyi Sicong saw the signal and immediately chased him from all directions. This numerical advantage was immediately reflected. The noisy arrests made the tall man feel nervous. After all, he was injured.
Although I used acupuncture to stop the bleeding from the wound, my cultivation of acupuncture is not high, so if I move in a hurry, the effect of the acupuncture is likely to be destroyed. The tall man whose movement speed is weakened is accidentally rushed to support.
The Si Cong discovered that most of these Si Cong only knew ordinary swordsmanship and did not know light kung fu, so they could not jump on the roof to chase the tall man. However, they could rely on their understanding of the terrain and move quickly in the alley to chase the tall man.
, and they would loudly call for other teammates to join in the encirclement. The tall man was injured, and his whereabouts had been exposed. Faced with a situation where we were outnumbered, we already knew in our hearts that we would have to explain here today, and as expected, we didn’t run out much.
As a tall man, I felt the pain in my back getting worse. When I touched it with my hand, hot blood was already flowing out. It seemed that the acupuncture technique had failed...
By chance, the pursuer had already caught up to him at this time. When he saw the tall man kneeling on the roof due to injuries, the pursuer showed a proud smile.
Hua Nian Youzhi: "My knight, are you injured?"
The tall man: "Huh, don't be proud of yourself. If you didn't cheat, you wouldn't be able to defeat me!"
Hua Nian Youzhi: "You are not as skilled as others and you were defeated by me, but you still brazenly said that I was the one who tricked you?"
The tall man: "You hurting people with concealed weapons is nothing but a skill!!"
Hua Nian Youzhi: "Hahaha, my goal is to capture you alive. Otherwise, do you think you can beat me in a swordsmanship competition?"
Tall man: "Go ahead and give me a good time"
Hua Nian Youzhi: "I said, I want to capture you alive, so I won't kill you."
Tall man: "I won't be captured alive by you!"
Hua Nian Youzhi: "It's not up to you. Just go ahead and catch me. I will find a doctor for you. And if you honestly tell me where you came from, our Jingyi Department will even consider letting you go. If you can offset the merit, even
You can get a lifetime of wealth and honor, and this is just a matter of a word from Yan Shou, the Secretary of Purity."
Tall man: "I came here today, and I have no intention of going back alive!"
After saying that, the tall man stood up hard, looked at the pursuer in front of him and the accomplices around him, and then looked at the dark night sky. He couldn't even find a single star. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across the tall man's eyes, and in his hand
The knight's sword was placed across his neck. The pursuer on the side was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then calmed down.
Hua Nian Youzhi: "This knight, why are you doing this! You obviously still have a chance to survive, why bother yourself like this?"
The tall man didn't reply. He just poured the strength of his hand into the blade. With a sharp stroke, the blade cut off the blood and qi veins in an instant. Blood spurted out immediately. The tall man fell straight onto the roof and lost his life.
Breath of life.
The servants of the Clean Clothes Department set up a ladder, and a group of people rushed up to deal with the body and blood stains, and searched the pockets of the clothes, but found nothing. Not far away was the busy street, which was still so lively.
Even though lives were lost in the fighting here, it did not affect everyone's drinking and having fun. The sound of drums and the singing of singers still spoke of peace.
The next day, a court meeting was held as usual in the solemn Tailuan Gold Store. In the spacious and bright hall, the thirty-nine people standing on the left were all civil servants who discussed politics, and the thirty-nine people standing on the right were all ministers to the Emperor and the Queen.
The empress is watching a beautiful man in the shape of a woman. Hanging on the nine-story golden steps is a hair-thin gold curtain about nine feet high and twelve feet wide. Three feet away from the golden curtain is the Tailuan Golden Chair.
, and there are two people sitting on the golden chair. The one on the left is the current emperor of Cangluo Kingdom, and the right is the new queen. Because of the unique design of this golden tent, we cannot see clearly the appearance of the person on the golden chair under the golden steps.
and expressions, but the people on the golden chair could clearly see the appearance and behavior of the people under the golden steps. At this time, the court meeting had just begun.
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment first submitted a memorial to the emperor. The content was about the murder that occurred in the city last night. After His Majesty's permission, a director of the Ministry of Punishment walked into the hall from outside the palace. He first paid the courtesy of the emperor and ministers. After receiving His Majesty's permission, he stood up and began to describe last night.
things and your own opinions.
Director of the Criminal Department: "Last night, a man in black suddenly appeared in the city. He happened to be bumped into by the Jing Yi Si. During the fight, the man in black was killed. This is the fourth murder case this month. I thought that even in a small city
Murder cases caused by law enforcement should not occur so frequently in this small town. What's more, this is the capital and the emperor's feet. It should be a place that respects the law more. If you blindly rely on martial arts and numerical superiority to carry out such violent acts, it will be very dangerous.
It may shake the existence of the law, and I hope my colleagues in the Jingyi Department can reflect on themselves more quickly."
After saying this, he stepped aside.
At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites also followed the example of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments and called the director of the Ministry of Rites in from outside the palace. The director of the Ministry of Rites also handed over his memorial and began to narrate the content.
The reason is a bit...
The head of the Ministry of Rites: "Last night, a thief in black sneaked into the capital at night and wanted to do something wrong. Fortunately, he was found by me, the head of the Clothing Department. But seeing how ugly this life was, I wanted to expel him from the capital, but he didn't.
He was willing to leave, but in the end he saw that he could not defeat my boss, so he had evil thoughts in his heart and vented his anger by staining the streets of the capital with his own blood."
The emperor on the golden chair felt sick to his stomach when he heard how ugly this life was.
Emperor Cangluo: "This is unreasonable. Ugly people dare to set foot in our capital. They really deserve to be killed."
Hearing what the emperor said, the Minister of Rites hurriedly winked at the head of the Rites Department. The head of the Rites Department immediately understood the intention and continued.
The head of the Ministry of Etiquette: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart. People who are ugly will definitely have a dirty mind. And music and dance music can best warm people's minds, which can gradually make people beautiful, so I,
It is proposed that music and dance music should be included in the national examination, so that everyone in Cangluo country can achieve beauty."
When the emperor heard about this matter, he couldn't help but frown, because just half a year ago, the Ministry of Rites submitted a memorial to formally mention this matter. Although he himself agreed with their statement, it was just that after this matter was brought up, he was shocked on the spot.
A group of ministers objected because it was "not a gentleman to judge people by their appearance." The emperor vaguely remembered that the memorial's words were even more intense at that time...
'The Cangluo Kingdom should develop into a musical country, and all the people must be good at singing and dancing, so that our Cangluo Kingdom can become a heavenly palace, and those who are born with a lack of musicality or lack of dance skills are not worthy of studying.
Those ugly people are even more unworthy of survival. They should all be exiled to the northern wilderness and left to fend for themselves, with the ambition of saving the darkness of the world with their beauty.'
Part of the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Rites six months ago.
Just when the emperor was still recalling the memorial six months ago, the sudden noise of people brought him back to reality.
The person who was speaking was none other than the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel: "It is simply nonsense. A person's appearance is given by his parents. No matter whether it is good or bad, people should not have any grudges. And your claim that learning music can change a person's appearance is nothing but nonsense.
, not to mention that music is just a recreational object, how can it be included in the national examination? If you really do this, it will definitely harm the country and the people!"
As expected by the emperor, once this kind of thing is brought up, it will definitely cause controversy, and there will definitely be no conclusion. The emperor shook his head helplessly, feeling a little bad, but turned around and looked at his queen, and suddenly felt
My eyes lit up, and my heart was no longer so panicked. If you ask why, it is naturally because of the queen's appearance and beauty...
Before eleven o'clock in the morning, the main entrance of an official residence in Shichang City was already surrounded by a group of ministers wearing official uniforms of the Jingling Division. Soon two deputy envoys led thirty or fifty ministers into the house, and then
I heard cries and howls coming from the house. Not long after, about sixty or seventy people, old, young, women and children, were taken out from the front door. Five people were in a team. They all had their hands tied behind their backs and stood side by side. Then they were suppressed by the servants.
He walked towards the Jing Ling Division. Today, a total of three official residences were raided by the Jing Ling Division. As for the reason, it was probably that the Jing Ling Division found evidence of their corruption or clique. As the most trusted organization by the emperor, they must always provide evidence for their corruption.
Your Majesty shared your worries and captured and punished all the unscrupulous officials in the court who had disloyal intentions or misused their private rights for personal gain. The people on the streets watched as the Jingling Secretary ransacked their homes and took away those who had been living in daily life.
The high-ranking official who looked down on him the most was arrested, and everyone in Titus was happy. Some even applauded and celebrated.
At this time, the emperor was having a banquet with a group of courtiers in the Xianle Hall, listening to songs and dancing. On the red carpet in the middle of the Xianle Hall, a singer was singing, with twenty-four dancers surrounding her.
Dancing, while hundreds of musicians on the high platforms on the second floor on both sides of the Xianle Hall were playing with the instruments in their hands in harmony with the singer's singing. For a time, the bells, drums, gongs, pianos, flutes, flutes, shengs and xuns all performed their duties, each showing his or her own talent, and working together.
The singer's unique and mellow voice and the dancer's desire and desire dance made everyone feel like they were in a fairyland. Especially after drinking the fine wine in the pot, they felt even more like they were falling into the sea of desire. They all opened their eyes greedily and stared at
The dancer's exposed flat belly and white, slender waist further highlight the beauty of the female buttocks curves. This is truly a joy for the monarch and his ministers as one united family.
After the lunch banquet was over, the chamberlain came to report.
Chamberlain: "Your Majesty is very happy. We have just received the news that the Jingling Division has done great service for your Majesty. It has been reported that three important officials in the court have secretly colluded with the rebels with the intention of overthrowing the country. Now it has been found out by the Jingling Division. Now
His entire family has been captured, and no one has escaped. Please order your Majesty to punish him."
Emperor Cangluo: "Since it was seized by the Jingling Division, I will definitely not be unjust and hand it over directly to the Jingling Division for disposal."
The chief chamberlain on the side intervened when he saw this.
Chief of Chamberlain: "Your Majesty is truly the luckiest person in the world."
Emperor Cangluo: "How do you say this?"
asked proudly
Chief of Chamberlain: "It is precisely because Your Majesty is a blessed person that I will have so many blessings to serve Your Majesty in the future. In the court, there is the Jingling Division to punish traitors, and among the people, there is the Jingyi Division to arrest the rebels. As for those who dare to fight with me
The monsters that are enemies of Cang Luo will be dealt with by those in the Soul Dao. Your Majesty only needs to bathe in the fairy sound, and when you have completed your merits one day, you can ascend to immortality."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately laughed loudly. The queen on the side glanced at the chief chamberlain and understood the meaning immediately.
Chief Chamberlain: Of course, Your Majesty’s greatest blessing is to have a new queen. The Queen is Your Majesty’s immortal couple. In the future, Your Majesty and Your Majesty will ascend to the immortal class together. We mortals will still seek help from Your Majesty and Your Majesty.
Where’s the asylum?”
After hearing this, the emperor became even more proud and laughed even more.
People's blessings are always limited, because people are limited by their life span, but if you can become an immortal, you will live forever. Emperor Cangluo, who is tired of the wealth and honor in the world, his biggest wish now is to be able to achieve full merit and gain.
Although the Taoist Ascension seems to be an unattainable thing for ordinary people, some Taoist friends believe that it is not difficult to ascend and just wait for the opportunity. The views of the Taoist friends are naturally recognized by His Majesty the Emperor.
